Total Eclipse 1/4
(Theme song - Kim Possible by Disney Channel on YouTube)
(Third-Person POV)
*A G.U.N. flight ship landed on the Launch Base of Angel Island. Team Dark stepped out. Though Omega was having trouble getting out*
Rouge:*sigh* I love this island. I think I'll retire here when I'm old. Or filthy rich. Whichever comes off first.
Shadow: You retire? You'd go stir-crazy with nothing to steal.
Rouge: HA! I'd be offended - if it weren't true.
*Omega had to come out the back entrance*
Omega: WRETCHED INSUFFICIENT SIZED DOOR . . . *he released a * DEPLOYING TELE-POD.
*The red screen showed a short, yet streamlined & lean Overlander at the size of most anthropomorphic animals, with peach skin, blue eyes, a long beak-like nose, a long reddish-brown beard, & wearing a red eyepiece & a white G.U.N. lab coat over a green shirt. Behind him was a tall Overlander woman with long dark green hair in a low ponytail, pale skin, gold eyes, & wearing glasses, a white G.U.N. lab coat over a yellow turtleneck, a black skirt, & black high heels (look up "Mrs. Cassandra Humphrey/Iron Queen" by "SwanGirl24" on "DeviantArt"), his assistant & newly married wife*
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): Hello? ** Testing, testing, one, two three . . .
Mrs. Cassandra Andrews/Humphrey (Iron Queen): Is this thing on?
Shadow: You're both coming through fine, Doctor, Mrs. Humphrey. We've arrived on Angel Island.
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): Excellent! Telemetry from the Ark's sensors show the alien craft should have landed some where on this island. The first order of business should be securing the Master Emerald. We must keep it out of the wrong hands.
Shadow: No. First we find Eclipse. Then we end Eclipse.
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): Yes, we'll. For safety's sake we ought to -
*Rouge got in-between them*
Rouge: Either way, we're going to need a bring in Knuckles. He's lived here his whole life, knows the island inside and out, and he fancies himself it's noble protector for some reason. It's going to make our mission much smoother having him on our side.
Shadow: Hmph. I don't need his permission to do what needs to be done
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): Team Dark! I insist that we at least consider - !
*Rouge got close to the screen*
Rouge: You and your wife are only here to obverse, little man. Play nice and we might secure a big hunk of alien tech for you to play with.
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): I . . . You . . . Mrgrgrgr!
Cassandra Andrews/Humphrey (Iron Queen): How dare you - !
*Team Dark started to head towards
Rouge: Now follow me, boys. We've got a lot of land to cover. It's a big island and Knuckles and his girlfriend are likely on the other side of it. *Team Dark, along with the tele-pod, made their way across the island, going through the many different regions of it* Almost there. Remember, let me do the talking.
(Julie-Su's POV)
*It's been a few days since Knuckles & I found Chip. Today, Knuckles & I were just enjoying the view from atop the Master Emerald shrine*
Julie-Su:*in her mind* From up here, the shattered world almost looks like a dream. Like it's everyone else's problem. But we've both learn that eventually the problems down there, they find their way up here. So I have to do whatever I can to help Knuckles protect the island. While we did manage to find the spirit and a Chaos Emerald, it doesn't feel like enough. *I looked at the piece of alien plant Knuckles was holding* And now we've got weird plants popping up. We don't know what that's about. The problems just keep piling up and I don't know if we can . . .
*Just then, Relic & Fixit came up to us*
Relic: Hullo, Knuckles! Julie-Su!
Knuckles: Oh! Hey, Relic.
Julie-Su: Hey. What's up?
*We both we down to them*
Relic: How are our ethereal friends?
Knuckles: Fine. They're talking spirit-stuff in the hidden palace.
Julie-Su: You find anymore of those dead patches?
Relic: I'm afraid so. Complete with alien looking stalks. Fixit? The samples, if you please? Chop-chop!
Fixit: AT ONCE, MADAM!
*Fixit took out a piece of plant, identical to the one she found a few days ago*
Relic: I took these samples for comparison. Unfortunately, this is not my area of study. Aside from being ghastly, I haven't the foggiest idea what it is.
Knuckles: I've lived here all my life. It's foreign, I can tell, and it's not welcome on the island.
Relic: If that's a thinly veiled suggestion to pack my things, I'll be off as soon as possible.
Knuckles: What are you . . . ? Oh, no! I didn't mean . . . You're not . . . You are, but . . . *I sighed. Knuckles has never been good with talking any other girl besides me* Listen. I appreciate you looking after the island while 'Su and I were gone, and searching for these plant things. You're welcome to stay here as long you want.
Relic: Jolly good, then. I just started to dig in the Marble Garden! I could build a career researching any one of the Island's regions, but it seemed the most promising site, and if you sent me away now, I'd simply - !
Fixit: UM . . . MADAME?
*She realized that she was babbling again*
Relic: Ahem! Sorry. Back to business. What are we to do about the enclosing flora?
Julie-Su: We don't know. It seems like it's growing in random spots. If we could just find out what's causing it to -
?:*off-screen* Yoo-hoo!
*We all turned towards the sound & saw Team Dark coming towards us, along with a floating TV screen*
Julie-Su:*in her mind* Oh great.
Rouge: I'm from out of town. Is there a big strong echidna around who can show me the sights?
Relic: Who in the world - ?
*Knuckles & I glided & ran over to them*
Knuckles: Nope. Get lost, Rouge.
Rouge: Aw, don't you want to know why I'm here?
Knuckles: I knew why, and we don't have time for you grabbing my Emerald!
Julie-Su: So do us all a favor and scram!
Rouge: Nice to see you too, Pinkie.
Relic: Knuckles? Julie-Su? Who are these people?
Knuckles: They're Team Dark. Agents from the Guardian Units of Nations. G.U.N. for short.
Rouge: Charmed. And you are?
Relic: Relic the Pika. Archaeologist. And this Fixit. My assistant.
Fixit:*bowing* PLEASURE TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.
Shadow: Yes, yes. Now if we're done with the formalities. The Black Arms are back.
Julie-Su: Bad time for that.
Shadow: We destroyed all but one of them
Knuckles: Sounds like sloppy work to me.
Shadow: Shut up. We believe that one managed to escape to the island.
Relic: Sorry, but did you say the Black Arms!? Those . . . Awful invaders? Here!?
*Shadow pushed past us towards her*
Shadow: Do you know something?
Relic: Fixit, be a dear and - *he opened his metal backpack* Thank you! *she took out the plants she showed us* We've been finding strang plants all over the island. Does this look familiar to you?
*She handed it to him*
Shadow: This is a clipping from a red fruit tree. These are cultivated only by the Black Arms. *he crushed it in his fist* Eclipse is here.
*Just then, I remembered that meteor Knuckles & I saw falling from the sky a few weeks ago*
Julie-Su:*in her mind* Oh, man . . . It must have happened while Knuckles and I were looking for Chip. And if I know Knuckles, he's probably kicking himself right now for leaving the island. But if we hadn't, then we wouldn't have found Chip. *I internally groaned* Looks like if we want to find this guy, we've got no choice but they work with . . .
*Rouge put a hand on Knuckles' shoulder*
Rouge: Knux, we need you on this. We don't know where he is, and you're the only one who can guide us.
Knuckles: Ahem! Yeah, well, no flesh-eating alien is welcome here. I guess I can let you guys tag along.
Julie-Su: Not without me you're not! *I got close to Rouge* If you think I'm leaving you alone with him, you're out of your mind!
Rouge: Party pooper.
Knuckles: And you're still not getting within thirty feet of my emerald.
Rouge: Whatever you say. You're the boss.
Julie-Su: Relic, you stay here and watch things here. If the alien shows up, you . . . Um . . .
Relic: I'll call you back. Fixit, can you link up with that large fellow so we can keep in touch?
Fixit: Y - YES, MADAM. *he floated over to Omega* UM . . . HELLO.
Omega: GREETINGS, TINY INFERIOR MODEL. WHAT WEAPONS DO YOU POSSESS?
Fixit: OH, NONE, SIR. I FIX THINGS.
Omega: AFTER YOU DESTROY THEM?
Fixit: N-NO, JUST . . . FIX.
*They just stared at each other for a while*
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): This is ridiculous! You can't leave the Master Emerald so poorly guarded while Eclipse is on the loose!
Rouge: You're right! Omega and I will go with Knuckles. Shadow will stay here and help watch my - the - Master Emerald.
Knuckles & Shadow: NO!
*They both looked at each other*
Shadow: Eclipse is mine.
Rouge: Eclipse is everyone's problem. The Master Emerald holds this island up and is the only thing that can trump the Chaos Emeralds. It needs to be guarded!
Shadow: Eclipse nearly tore Omega apart!
Omega: THE REVERSE IS ALSO TRUE.
Shadow: You need me if you're going to overwhelm him!
Rouge: Fine. You come with us and maybe find Eclipse, or he slips past us, gets the Emerald, and kills what's-her-name.
Relic: It's "Relic" actually. But thank you for the thought.
Rouge: Which is important? Finishing Eclipse yourself, or protecting the people he's out to destroy?
Shadow: Fine. I'll watch it.
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): I'll help!
Mrs. Cassandra Andrews/Humphrey (Iron Queen): We'll both help, Darling.
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): Yes, dear.
Relic: Well, hurrah.
Knuckles: Shadow! Do not touch it! Fixit, I want reports every five minutes and - !
Rouge: The faster we find Eclipse, the faster we leave you alone. Lead on, handsome.
*I glared at her for that. She just stuck her tongue out at me*
*Later, me, Knuckles, Omega, & Rouge were walking through one of the Island's regions, looking for the alien*
Julie-Su: . . . Is called Eclipse?
Rouge: Yeah. Looks like Shadow. If you squint.
Julie-Su: I . . . Guess that makes sense?
Omega: IS THIS THE OPTIMUM SEARCH LOCATION?
Knuckles: If a spaceship was going to crash somewhere unnoticed, the mountains would be my first guess. Hurry up! I want Shadow away from the Master Emerald as soon as possible!
Julie-Su: Easy, hon.
(Third-Person POV)
*Meanwhile, Relic sat next to the Master Emerald with Fixit next to her. Shadow stood next to the Tele-pod with Dr. Humphrey & Cassandra on the screen*
Relic: So . . . I've heard of you. You saved the world from those aliens?
Shadow: Yes.
Relic: Capital job on that. You're part alien yourself?
Shadow: Yes.
Relic: So . . . I don't suppose you know anything about their agriculture? Their architecture? Their history?
Shadow: The Black Arms were monsters. Nothing good came of them.
Relic: Present company excluded of course, right? That's too bad. Good or not. I would've to study an alien civilization!
Shadow: You wouldn't say that if you knew -
*Suddenly, he saw Relic's face replaced with a bug's face*
Relic: What? If I knew what? *he started to look around nervously* Are you feeling alright?
Dr. Julian Humphrey (Snively): Shadow! What's going on? *just then, he saw that Snively's & the Iron Queen's faces replaced with Black Death's & a Black Oak's face* You act like you've seen a ghost!
Shadow: No! Black Death is dead! The Black Arms are gone! Why am I seeing - !? Enough of your mind games!? No one is in our way! Face me!
*Suddenly, Eclipse jumped out from behind the Master Emerald*
Eclipse: Since you insist - !
