Chapter
1
A
flash of blue could be seen in the distance swirling around a large number of
faceless robots all trying in vain to shoot the blue protector with an
assortment of machine guns, missiles and lasers. Having had his fill with the
mechanized nuisances, Sonic leaped high into the air and curled into a tight
ball of spikes and quills. With another jolt of speed, he systematically tore
into each and every robot cleanly disposing of them all. The debris scattered
all around as the blue wonder landed and rolled his aching shoulders.
“That’s
enough for today tails.” He shouted to the sky witch began to fizzle with a
green light before dispersing all around Sonic to reveal that he was in a large
stark white room with a single window affixed high on one of the walls with a
single power sliding door to provide exit. The door opened with a hydraulic
hiss as tails walked in holding a brown clip board. “Looks like we need to up
the number of Egg-Robos huh?” Tails looked up from where he was scribbling a
few notes and smiled warmly at sonic. Sonic merely shrugged and forced a weak
smile. “Yea, maybe….” Sonic walked past tails and waived his hand. “Sorry
buddy, but we’ll have to put that off till another time though. I… I promised
him I’d take care of a few things…” Tails cocked his head to the side but then
gasped and covered his mouth with his hand once he realized who Sonic was
talking about.
Flashback
Sonic
and Knuckles ran furiously through the forests at the outskirts of Angel Island.
The master Emerald had been threatened yet again. Now this was nothing out of
the ordinary seeing as how Eggman tried to make off with the gem almost every
week. But this time was different, it wasn’t Eggman who wanted the emerald but
someone who they all thought was dead. “Now can you tell me how you let him get
away this time?” Knuckles spit out after he leaped into the air and trapped the
wind under his long flowing dreads so he could glide over a ravine that Sonic
easily jumped across. “Beats me; I didn’t even know he was still alive until I
saw the note he left saying that he took Amy again.” Knuckles grumbled to
himself as he began to run again, barely able to keep up with his blue friend.
“Hey, slow down ya idiot! We’re not in a race ya know!” Sonic merely laughed at
his slow yet sturdy friend and began to run backwards. “Oh come on
knuckle-head! If having Amy isn’t bad enough, now he’s after your emerald
AGAIN!” Knuckles cursed and stepped up the speed a bit, straining himself to
keep pace with Sonic. Even though Sonic was just playing around at this point, he
was almost impressed that Knuckles could keep up at all.
Before
long they had came to a crucial split in their path. Trailing far to the left
was Eggman’s abandoned base that was built out of the remaining fragments of
his Death Egg. The interior housed a make-shift dungeon that held Amy Rose
captive according to the note that was left to Sonic. And to the right lied the
alter that held the Master Emerald in all it’s glory. The two looked at each
other and back down the respective paths. Knuckles was the first to speak. “Go
on, go save Amy, I know that’s the only reason you’re hear anyway. Don’t worry
about me. I can deal with this clown like I did last time.” Knuckles smirked at
sonic and gave him the thumbs up. Sonic smiled and shook his head. “All right
man, any last requests?” Sonic laughed at his joke and waived it off. Knuckles
had completely missed the humor in Sonic’s voice and sighed deeply. “Not much
confidence in me huh?” Sonic turned around and gave Knuckles a confused look.
“Alright, I do have a last request. If I’m not back by morning, Tell Rouge…
tell her that…” Sonic smirked again and shrugged his shoulders. “Sure man, I’ll
tell her how in love with her you are.” Without batting an eye, Sonic turned
away from Knuckles and zipped down the left path with enough speed to kick up large
divots in the earth with each step. Knuckles sighed and shook his head. “I hope
it doesn’t come to that…” Lifting his head up to the sky Knuckles frowned
slightly as a single drop of water splashed in his eye. “Great, rain is all I
need…”

Flashback
Sonic
ran through the streets of Night Babylon, trying to stall as much as possible
from what he knew he had to do. IT had been more than a week since Knuckles’
death and he had just recently composed himself enough to talk to Rouge about
him. Stopping in front of Rouge’s club, he sighed to himself f and knocked on
the door. “Maybe I shouldn’t…” “Shouldn’t what?” came the all too familiar
voice of the white bat as she stood besides him holding a bag of groceries. Sonic
almost jumped out of his skin as he stepped away from Rouge. “Whoa there,
what’s wrong Blue? I’ve never seen you this jumpy before.”
“Yea
well, it’s because there’s something that I have to tell you.” Rouge cocked her
head and gave Sonic a questioning look. “What did you want to tell me?”
“It’s
about Knuckles…” The color in Rouge’s cheeks faded as her ears drooped. “Ooh…
Well, let’s go inside then.”
Sonic
walked into the empty club and took a seat on one of the bar stools and leaned
back on the counter. “There was something he made me promise to do, should
anything happen to him.” Rouge made no attempt to look at the hedgehog that had
made himself comfortable at her bar. “He wanted me to tell you how he really
felt about you… That he loved you.” Rouge tried to keep her emotions in check
but failed miserably as her shoulders started to heave. Keeping her back to
Sonic, she began to sob silently to herself. “You’re lying…”
“Huh?”
Sonic got off the stool and took a step closer to Rouge. “I said you’re lying!”
She whipped around to face Sonic, tears beginning to smear her mascara.
“Knuckles didn’t love me… All he ever did was yell and try to avoid me. No
matter what I did…” Rouge crossed her arms over her chest feeling very exposed.
Sonic shook his head and began to walk towards the door. “It’s the truth. Even
I could see through the way he acted. Either way, you can believe me or not,
but I won’t stay here any longer. I hate seeing pretty girls cry.”
As
Sonic walked out the door and dashed down the road, Rouge sat in the middle of
her club shivering and sobbing like a new born. “Knuckles loved me? No. I won’t
believe it… I can’t believe it. After all we’ve been through, all I’ve done to
him; he’s been in love with me the whole time.”
Flashback
“Hand
over the Master Emerald chump!” Rouge stood at the foot of the great emerald
alter looking straight up into the violet eyes of its crimson guardian. “How
many times do I have to tell you bat? You’re not getting your grubby mitts on
this emerald!” Knuckles smirked to himself as he crossed his arms in a defiant
stance. “But you’re more than welcome to try.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“What
the hell is wrong with you?! You could have gotten us both killed!!” Knuckles
screamed to Rouge as he carried her in his arms like a groom would his bride.
She had cuts and bruises all over and suffered with a broken right wing.
She had tried to steal one of the Chaos
Emeralds from one of Dr. Eggman’s bases and had fallen into a trap that was set
up for Sonic. Rouge had neither the speed nor strength to elude Eggman’s guard
robos, so she began to receive one of the worst beatings of her life. Before
they could finish her off, however, several of the robots began to
spontaneously explode. The destruction was followed quickly by a loud battle
yell that accompanied more explosions and destroyed robots. Soon enough a very
enraged Knuckles came to Rouges side and fiercely defended her from attack
after attack. Not having the strength to comprehend what was going on, Rouge
allowed the pain and fatigue to force her into unconsciousness.
When
she awoke again, Knuckles was carrying her to West City Hospital while chewing her out for
acting so reckless.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Knuckles
was sitting on a park bench while happily eating an ice cream cone. Angel
island had flew close enough to Central Station for Knuckles to be able to take
a much needed day off, and still be close enough to know if something was amiss
with the Master Emerald. As he watched people go about their business, a loud
pop startled him enough to drop his ice cream. Springing up to face his would
be attacker, Knuckles sighed when he found Rouge laughing hysterically with
what used to be a brown paper bag clutched in her hand. “I can’t believe you
fell for that!” She laughed again while pointing at the now fuming Knuckles.
“What the hell is your problem?!” He yelled out at her. “What’d did you do that
for anyway?!” Rouge walked over to Knuckles and leaned her face dangerously
close to his. “You know, you’re cute when you’re angry.” She gave him a very
seductive look witch made Knuckles blush furiously and turn his back to her.
“Yea well, I’d rather not be angry. So could you help me out with that by
leaving me alone?”
“Aww,
what’s wrong Hun? Don’t you like me any more?” At this Knuckles whipped around
to face Rouge with a look that bordered on panic and horror. “What? Me? Like
you?! Get real. Now leave me alone!” With that Knuckles jumped in the air and
began to glide away. Having put some distance between them, Knuckles landed and
sighed to himself. “Damn it…” Knuckles cursed himself for panicking and sighed.
“I really don’t like you… I love you.”
