Chapter 19- The Classics

Shadow

Shadow merely sat and watched as Sonic ran through loops and over bridges, reliving times from his past. He got up from his post on a nearby ledge and skated back to Tails’s workshop. The young fox was still fixing up the place from not being used in a while, but he had prepared what he needed. A machine sat in the far side of the room, against the wall. He looked up from his computer screen as the dark hedgehog approached. “You ready yet?” he asked impatiently. “Yep!” the genius said, walking over to his device. Pressing a few buttons, it beeped and a screen lit up. “Put your hand here.” Tails instructed. Shadow reluctantly obeyed, willing to do whatever it would take to defeat Griffin. He watched as his hand glowed with the power it held. Tails surveyed his machinery work according to his plan. The light died down after a few minutes as the scan finished. Shadow stepped away from the contraption and looked at the computer screens. Information appeared on the screen, ranging from numbers to charts. The young fox stated, “Thanks! I should be done analyzing this soon. I’ll keep you posted.” Nodding, the chaotic hedgehog walked back out into the open air. At least he has an attention span of more than five minutes…

Rouge

While the others were solving the “Griffin” problems, Rouge headed towards her work. She sauntered into the building, feeling the gaze of all of the soldiers she passed. Walking down a hallway, she stopped at a particular room. Opening the door, Rouge took a seat in one of the room’s two chairs. “Agent Rouge. I see you got my call.” said the other person in the office. “Commander. How may I assist you?” Rouge asked. “A few of my men have reported someone with chaos powers. Care to explain?” he stated matter-of-factly. “What makes you think I know?” Rouge questioned innocently. The Commander narrowed his heterochromic eyes at the white bat. “There’s only two people I know who can use chaos control. And you happen to be best friends with one of them. Now,” he leaned in closer, “What do you know?” The jewel thief sighed, staring at her boss. “Fine. His name is Griffin. He has a lot of power, so advise that G.U.N. stays out of it.” Rouge explained, standing up to leave. To her surprise, he didn’t object. As she turned the handle, she stopped and asked, “Why didn’t you just ask Shadow?” “You’re a little, well, more approachable…”

Tails

Chaos energy had always fascinated Tails. The ability to tame such a powerful energy seemed even more mind-boggling. Scanning the data in front of him, he typed in various variables and equations. He smiled as the system began to search for all sources of chaos energy. As a map appeared, one dot landed right outside the lab. There’s Shadow. Now where’s…? As yet another dot appeared on the screen, Tails eyes widened in confusion. But… He can’t be… the genius thought. He was interrupted as Sonic burst through the door, panting heavily. “What is it?” Tails asked, already knowing the answer. “It’s Griffin… He’s here!”

Cream

Cream saw the figure in the distance. In fact, she was the one who warned Sonic. Now she stood in fear at the oncoming man. He seemed to have changed from when she saw him last. She didn’t care though. He scared her badly, and didn’t ever want to see him again. Looks like that plan was going to work. Making her way to her best friend, Cream practically jumped into Amy’s arms. “It’s okay Cream. Everything will be alright…” Amy whispered her frightened friend. The rabbit found reassurance in her voice, resting her head against the pink hedgehog’s chest. “I promise Cream. I won’t let him touch you.” Amy vowed.
