Unexpected family in the realm of chaos
Chapter 3, Hostage
A/N
Silhouette: Hello, and thank you for reading this story. Shadow is not able to make it here in time for the opening authors note. I don't know why, but he has been avoiding me all week. *shrug.* So I have asked Loki to help open, and possibly end this authors note.
Loki: Greeting, my Fans. I am Loki, of Asgard. I have agreed to help write the note of the author, who is... not here. (to Silhouette) why can't she write her own note to the fans. She is the author. We are simply balls in a ball pit she decided to play in. We are movies in a rental store that she wished to borrow. Arrows in the quiver of this story, each to be fired into the heart of any mortal who reads it.
Silhouette: ...Loki?
Loki: The small collection of... privileged members in the eternal realm of fandom, in the dimension: internet. I am communicating with your realm, with both glad tidings, and high expectations, as the great realm of fandom bands together to overtake humanity as we know it.
Silhouette: yeeaaah, noo. Sorry Loki, but the wedsite doesn't work that way.
Loki: Silence, black creature, your insolence will not be tolerated. I am a god, and you are beneath me.
Silhouette: you clearly haven't read the first two chapters. Have you?
Shadow:*walks up behind Silhouette, and Loki. Holding a bag*
Loki: I do not wish to be told of the author's previous failures in plotting strategy for world domination. She clearly lacks conviction, and experience with dealings outside her insignificant human understandings; it is not mere coincidence that she sought council with higher beings. Even her choice in warriors, small insignificant, inexperienced creatures, it would only be with my guidance, that this unconventional plan would have any hope in thwarting failure.
Silhouette: one... Your not the main character. Two...we may be small, but we are highly significant in this story. Three... These are NOT plans, and is in no way, shape, or form to take over the world. Four... She is not seeking counsel from you. I asked you to HELP.
Shadow: *claps slowly*
Loki: you cloned yourself.
Silhouette: Shadow! You did make it!
Loki: ...
Shadow: maybe you NEED to read the first two chapters, but right now we will read chapter 3, hostage.
Silhouette: ON WITH THE STORY!

Sonic ran around, and dodged the rain of chaos spears sent from Shadow.
"This might take a while." Silhouette said to herself.
Tails, Knuckles, and Silhouette were watching Sonic and Shadow fighting.
"What are you doing with the concrete?" Silhouette asked the fox and echidna. As she noticed the building materials next to the shrine.
"Knuckles drew up some plans to build a house around the Master Emerald. We were figuring out how much material we would need, and gathering it together, but we can't continue working on it while there fighting here." The two tailed Fox explained.
"Well. Depending on if they dodge each other's attacks more that actually fighting. It might take a while." She figured, "When do you plan on having the house built?"
"We are going to start building when we have all the material, and hopefully it will be finished some time next week." Knuckles told her.
Silhouette smiled and nodded. "Ask me if you three need any help. I'm not sure how long I'll be staying this time, but I'll be glad to help."
"Thanks. We'll be sure to call you if we have any trouble." Tails thanked her.
Silhouette smiled and pulled out a chaos emerald tracker. "I should be able to figure out who won the fight with the strong case of twin-telepathy/empathy that Black Doom and Gerald Robotnik gave me and Shadow when we where made. even though we're not twins. I should be able to figure out if he lost or not by how much pain he's in when they finish."
I'm going to find a different Emerald. See you guys later." She said mainly to herself. then took off into the forest.
0000000000
Beep... Beep... Beeeeeeeeeeep...
The Emerald tracker went off as Silhouette walked up Next to the a tree just outside of westopolis. where Shadow usually went to think.
The device's screen flickered, and then read that she had passed it.
She sighed, turned around and hovered back into the forest.
It didn't take long for the device to go off again, this time leading her to a broken down building.
"Who lived out here?" She asked herself as she entered the building
She took a deep breath as she got a sudden pain in her waist. Shaking her head knowing that it was just Shadow. She continued looking around what appeared to be an old lab.
"Well, well. What could someone like you be doing this far out of town?" A voice said behind her.
She turned ready to attack, but no one was there.
Shaking it off. Telling herself it was just In her mind. She continued looking for the Emerald.
"What could Silhouette the hedgehog possibly want in this old building?" The voice said. From the other side of the room.
Not going to mistake the ominous voice for her own thoughts again. Silhouette gathered a chaos spear in her hand. Ready to attack a possible threat.
"Ooo. Not being able to see who's talking makes you scared? Doesn't it?" He asked from various different spots in the room.
"No. I'm not scared." She answered looking around. trying to place that voice to who it belonged to.
"I just would like to know where you are."she said to him. 'That could have been worded better.' She told herself
"Here." He whispered in her ear from behind her.
She spun around firing the chaos spear at nothing. He was gone.
"That's no way to say 'Hi'" he said behind her again. grabbing her arms he rested his chin on her shoulder. Smiling into her red and gold eyes with hate and amusement.
Not being able to move her head very much. Her eyes looked on her
Left shoulder and was met with his blue eyes and the message they gave. She gave a slightly frightened giggle.
"You're kinda cute when you want to be... And when your scared. Unfortunately for you being 'cute' won't save you." His hand pinched her cheek briefly before he tightened his grip on her arm, and walked around in front of her, and Tightly grabbed both her arms.
She looked at the now visible green hedgehog mobian, who was taunting her. He was a little taller then she was. He wore red glasses on his head, a black jacket, and black shoes with green accents. He also had two scars on his chest and white gloves with black and green cuffs.
"Who are you?" She asked seriously not remembering a green hedgehog that looked almost identical to Sonic.
"My name is Scourge the hedgehog. And now that you've found me, and my secret hiding place. I'm afraid I can't let you leave. At least not alive." He threatened looking around the old lab then back at Silhouette with an evil grin.

A fist swung forward hitting Shadow in the side, knocking the Ultimate life form back. The Blue blur spinning into a ball aimed at the Black and red hedgehog, kneeling motionless. Before jumping up and out of the way of Sonic's attack, and the Blue blur all together.
Sonic, not ready to accept defeat, even though they have been fighting for about two hours now, jumped up towards Shadow.
Shadow did a front flip in the air, his shoe hitting Sonic's head sending the Blue blur down into the earth.
He landed in a kneeling position next to Sonic, with his eyes closed tight.
"Not bad..." Sonic said getting up and looking at the Ultimate life form's stance. "For a Faker." Sonic said, racing forward towards Black hedgehog
Shadow looked up and moved to the side seconds before Sonic hit him. Extending his leg tripping the Blue blur.
Landing face first in the dirt. Sonic rolled over on his back, and was taken completely off guard when Shadow pinned him to the ground by stepping on his wrists.
Shadow smiling evilly at the Blue hedgehog. He was going to threaten him some more, but a sudden sharp pain in his gut prevented him from doing so.
"He he. Not that I'm ready to assume the title of Faker, but... *sigh* I think you won this round." Sonic said trying to pull his hands free.
Shadow stepped off Sonic, and looked over to Tails and Knuckles.
"Where's Silhouette?" He asked, now blaming the pain he felt on her.
"She went to find another emerald." Tails told him pointing in the direction she left.
Shadow looked at the forest.
"Don't worry Shadow. I'm pretty sure she can handle it." Sonic said. standing up
"I'd like to know how she handled the situation she's going thorough now." Shadow said. Wincing as he put his hand on the area that hurt.
Sonic gave Shadow the blue emerald, and Shadow tried to contact his sister with their twin-lepathy, but she wouldn't let him.
He tried using the communication Eggman gave them, but she didn't answer, and the pain seemed to go in deeper.
Getting upset and a little worried he pulled out the emerald tracker, but pain worsened to the point where he held his breath to keep from whimpering. It was then when he got a mental messages from Silhouette saying that 'she had the Chaos emerald just outside of Westopolis, to go ahead and look for the other two and that she would be back on angel island with Sonic when she had it.'
A few seconds after he heard that from her, the pain stopped, and despite how frustrated, and worried he was for not being responsible. he went to find the other two emeralds first. Before going to search for her.

Eggman was busy building in his lair.
He fit the last piece in, and looked at it. "This ought to work wonderfully. Only I don't think seven chaos emeralds will be enough power."
He looked at the compartments on the machine where the chaos emeralds would go. He snapped his fingers as he got an idea. "I know where I can get more power."
He walked into another room, and typed on a computer. Seconds later he heard the silent sound of a motor running.
He swiveled around in his chair to see Metal Sonic standing there.
"I have a new assignment for you, Metal." Eggman said, grabbing the three chaos emeralds he already had.
The two of them walked into the other room.
"This is a teleportation machine. I am going to send you into the future for a few hours, and I want you to find the Sol emeralds. Push your communication button twice when your done so I can bring you back."
Eggman explained putting the Chaos emeralds into the machine and starting it up.
Metal agreed, and when the portal opened, he jumped through.
Eggman shut the machine off and started making more compartments for the Sol emeralds.

Silhouette tried freeing herself form his tight grip when Scourge knocked Her down and disappeared in the darkness.
Silhouette's eyes adjusted to the dark, but she didn't see Scourge anywhere.
She stood up, and looked around frantically.
"Hey! Why can't we just start over with a 'Hi'. I mean I didn't know you lived out here. I didn't know anyone was out here." She tried reasoning with him.
"Fine then." He said eerily jumping down from the rafters behind her.
"Hi."
She turned, gasping as she bumped into him. He stabbed her in the gut with a knife. She let out a small whimper and grabbed his hand as he still held the knife.
"If you didn't know someone was here, why would have come out here?" He asked.
She tried avoiding showing that it hurt, and shook her head as an answer to Shadow's mental communication.
Shadow's voice then buzzed in on her communicator, and Scourge pushed the knife in further as she started whimpering, and fighting against him.
"Silhouette, where are you?"
Scourge glared at her hard.
"Silhouette?...Silhouette answer me!" Shadow yelled.
Scourge getting angry twisted the knife. She tried backing away from him to pull it out, but he grabbed her arm pulling her closer in.
"No!... Once I find it I'll meet you back on angel island." She shouted out loud, Also sending a mental message to Shadow, then blocked him out of her senses.
Loosing his patience. Scourge fought against her tight grip and sharply pulled it up and twisted the knife again. Causing her to cry out in pain.
"Look! I didn't even know WHO you were! Let alone WHERE you were. I was just hunting chaos emeralds, and tracked one down to here in this... Lab." She yelled. Loosing some strength her head fell on his chest, a tear escaped from her eyes.
Scourge pulled the knife out, and she fell to her knees, closing her eyes, and breathing very heavily.

Metal sonic came through the portal, and landed on the roof of a building. He looked around the area he was in. It looked a lot like a once destroyed city was now being rebuild.
He looked around the roofs of the city, and spotted a purple mobian cat heading his way.
She landed on the roof. Briefly glancing at the Robot before jumping to the next roof. Metal watched her land then walked over to the side of the building, and jumped off. He landing on, and shattered a crate.
As he walked away he picked up the white Sol emerald that was inside the crate.
"This will be easy." He told himself walking through the city.
Just outside the city, Metal sonic found the green Sol emerald hiding in the bushes, and the yellow one in a puddle.
"This is a little too easy." Metal said
He checked the emerald tracker and saw that there was one in the city he was just in, and moving.
"That one will be the challenge... For the person who has it."
He ran in the other direction. Getting a location of another one.

Shadow followed the small blinking light on the screen all the way to the Green hill zone.
He studied the screen glancing up to see if he could spot the emerald from where he was standing.
He hovered around the green grassy fields. Looking for the emerald.
"Beeeeeeeeeeeep" the tracker buzzed as he neared the emerald's location.
"Oh crap! Where's the stupid mute button? Shut up! You... darn...thing!
I said SHUT UP!" He yelled at it trying to find the mute button or the off switch.
It finally stopped and he looked at where it said the emerald was. In a big pond.
"Great." He said.
He walked over and looked down in it. Sighing he jumped in. Getting as much air as he needed, he plunged underwater.
Swimming downward he thought he saw it and swam over to the shiny thing. It was one of Sonic's power rings.
"I should make the Faker come down here and get it." He thought to himself. It took a little while, but he finally talked himself out of it and hid it in his quills.
He searched the bottom of the pond for a while getting caught occasionally by the seaweed.
He was about to return to the surface and make sure he read the screen right when he remembered that Silhouette would hum a true, but highly annoying song. She got off a fish movie. That just so happened to be what he was doing.
"Just keep swimming. just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? we just keep swimming." He hummed in his head as he continued.
He didn't swim very far before he ditched the song. As He landed on the bottom of the pond. he heard a 'clink' noise under his foot. Kneeling down and digging around under him. He made the water very muddy.
Closing his eyes he felt around the bottom, and grabbed the thing he dug up, and pushed off the bottom, and surfaced seconds later.
After he washed the mud off his face he held up the object. It was a brown chaos emerald. Giving a half smile he washed the dirt off reveling the purple chaos emerald. Then he swam back to shore and buried the chaos emerald in his quills and took off in the direction of the next one.

Scourge looked at the blade of his knife. Surprised it was as clean as it was before he used it on Silhouette.
He bent down to her level. Starring at her pained expression. Glancing at the spot where the knife was in her. The wound was completely healed. Other than a small hole in her shirt there was no sign that he had stabbed her.
"How can be in this much pain. if you didn't even bleed?"
Silhouette looked up at the Green hedgehog's confused expression
"Lots of people overreact to a low level of pain. I however am not reacting to psychical pain right now."
She told him.
"Whatever that's suppose to mean. Although you are correct about a Chaos emerald being here. I'm not giving it up." He said standing up. Pulling out the yellow emerald and started walking away.
"How about if I keep your hiding place a secret." She suggested standing up.
"Oh, you'll keep it a secret... Because you're not leaving." Scourge smirked not bothering to turn around.
"By 'secret' I mean 'from everyone' and by 'everyone' I mean Sonic, Shadow, Eggman, G.U.N., Everyone!
And if you haven't figured it out. That chaos emerald emits a strong unique power signature making it easy to make a tracker, to find them, and when they track down that one. They won't be as willing to keep this place a secret, as I am." She clarified.
Scourge stopped, and smirked at her over his shoulder. "Was that suppose to scare me?"
"Umm..."
"There's been a couple of people that has found this place, and... Let's just say it was a short lived victory."
He said, walking over to a counter. He looked back at Silhouette, and his smirk vanished.
Silhouette turned the door knob and cracked the door open. Scourge appeared in front of her and slammed the door shut. Glaring at her.
"I said NO LEAVING!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from the door, through the room, and pushed her down into a chair. "And I meant it." He said in a threatening tone.
As he walked back over to the counter, Silhouette tried getting up, but found her back quills to be caught in the chair's spokes!
