Whatever
awaits.
A thunderstorm had settled in the landscape adding an even darker image to the G.S.F. assigned base deep in the jungle. The only lights seen were the skylight set on the center of the top f each tower making it difficult but possible to see the figure of Aria standing on the edge of the north tower with her hand on her hip. Her eyes were nimbly closed and she stood motionless letting the rain soak her hair and fur. She wrapped her tail around her right leg and clicked her tongue as she slowly opened her eyes to the seemingly endless jungle horizon. Her emerald colored eyes glazed in the light but she hid them slowly as she put on a pair of thermal goggles. She directed her sight toward the ground and scanned it carefully and jolted as her head stopped moving and a smile came to her face. She took the goggles of, turned so that her hips swayed hard and dropped them off the edge of the tower. She started walking toward the center of it and spoke.
"Earlier than expected.."
"We're gonna have to take it easy on this one..If we use our usual tactics we'll be dead before you know it." Tails spoke over the rain. Both he and the solid figure of Sonic could barely be seen under the cover of the trees literately soaking. They stood before the cyclone. Amy was in the cockpit and of course unhappy with the way things were going (annoyed in other words). They didn't seem to mind her presence considering that usually she's an enormous burden. She had a thick comforter over her and watched Sonic and Tails coversate.
"Ok, can we go? It's raining...I hate rain." Sonic added.
"Rather get rained on then torn to pieces by a reptilian bioweapon any day." Tails replied. Amy had begun shaking as Tails disappeared into the tree cover leaving her and Sonic. Sonic turned to her and smiled.
"I guess you probably already know not to worry about me.." He said with a smile. Amy kept an annoyed look and made eye contact with him.
"Why do I have to stay here?" She asked.
"Because I'd die if anything happened to you."
"But I can."
"I know.." Sonic interrupted. He jumped up and landed on the front side of the cyclone, knelt down and put his hand on the back of her head. She lazed her eyes and let a weak smile appear (Accidentally) although she couldn't help but smile of course. Sonic leaned forward and kissed her softly on her lips and smiled as well.
"I know you can take care of yourself...You proved that to me time and time again, but I need you to listen to me...for once..and stay here. Ok?" Sonic said looking in her eyes. Amy nodded and whispered.
"Ok.." She of course REALLY wanted to go with him but she couldn't resist listening to him.
"Be a good girl...for once..and stay here." And with that Sonic leapt back and landed on the ground with his hands holding him up and pushed of again so that he faced in the direction of the base and sped off kicking up mud as he went.
Under the east tower two figures were barely seen roosted in a tree that sunk below the rest. One was of Shadow, the other was of Rouge. Shadow stood tensely staring up the tower showing no indications that the rain bothered his eyes. He breathed heavily and his muscles were tense due to the upcoming fight. Rouge was quickly climbing up the tree toward him when she stopped and reached in her jacket and pulled out a pair of IR goggles. Shadow looked down at her and quickly put on a questioning tone and asked..
"Where'd you get those?"
"A little gift I picked up from one of the G.U.N. soldiers back at the park." She answered stepping onto the same branch as he.
"Why?" shadow asked.
"I figured It'd come in handy..and it did." Rouge answered as she tossed them to shadow who easily caught them. "Take a look around and make sure it's ok to move."
"Whatever." Shadow replied as he turned back to the tower and looked through them. Surprisingly there didn't seem to be any guards on the outside. The only one's he COULD see were patrolling the halls on the inside. He lowered them and whipped his quills making water come from them. He shook his head and once again used the IR goggles to look up the tower. He lowered them again and looked over at Rouge.
"Everything looks ok..."
"Yeah, it may look that way." Rouge replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Just follow my lead." Rouge ordered. She looked down for a couple seconds and dived off the branch and as told shadow followed her closely.
"Hey,...how many men do you think it'd take to guard a base this size?" Sonic asked tails from his position at the base of a tree staring up one of the towers.
"This is an espionage group..so I'd say about twenty five in each tower. But there could be an underground level." Tails answered from the other side.
"Well, I really don't see anywhere where they can make something that big without obvious signs, so maybe there is an underground level."
"Maybe it doesn't have to be big."
"Maybe.." Sonic replied stepping forward a little. "I'm sure the others are here too, so only search one tower, if you don't find it look for an entrance into an underground level."
"Got it." Tails replied. Afterwards Sonic let out a sigh and folded his arms. Tails sprang to his feet and looked over at sonic and cocked an eyebrow. "What about the other ones?" Sonic unfolded his arms turned to him and replied coldly.
"Leave those to the others. Let's just take care of our roll!" And with that sonic immediately dashed forward so fast that he almost instantly left Tails' sight , leaving the young fox with his bangs blowing in the wind. He then nodded and sped off to the tower to the left.
A lone G.S.F. guard patrolled the metallic hallways of the lower level of the third tower. It was dead quiet except for his footsteps and breathing motions that seemed so loud due to the silence. On each side of the hallway were alcoves about four feet apart from each other. Each was dark on the inside making it impossible for the back to be seen by the naked eye. He stopped and removed his hood reveling that he was a raccoon. He sighed and leaned close to a wall and looked down the opposite end of the hallway, close to one of the alcoves. He closed his eyes and stared to the ceiling when suddenly an arm burst from the darkness and wrapped around his neck cutting off any scream from his voice and yanking him back into it. After ten seconds passed shadow crept from it and leered down both ends of the hallway and whispered.
"You'd better have made it in by now.." He sat still for a moment and quietly removed his shoes to keep them from echoing on the metal floor. He looked around again to make sure it was clear before he quickly started moving up the hallway.
"And this must be a storage area.." He thought as he raced quietly up the hallway until he got to a split with one way leading right the other leading left. He flattened against the right and crept to the end so he could see beyond the left side of the opposite wall. When he was able to confirm it was clear he peeked around the right side and also confirmed it was clear. He also noticed an elevator on the end. He smirked and ran out quickly toward the elevator in a manner of such arrogance that he was almost oblivious to the door opening revealing three guards on the inside. He halted just as they saw him forcing him to go on guard immediately. The first thing he noticed is that neither of them made any attempt to radio in for help. Although he was baffled he still decided to take full advantage of the situation. The three G.S.F. guards struck identical combat poses and flipped out of the elevator in a tight identical fashion. Unfortunately for them Shadow was in absolutely no mood to show mercy of any kind. The first one to find this fact out was the one on the left , who leapt in the air and fell towards him. Shadow arched back his legs and back flipped so that his foot made direct contact under the guard's chin, causing his body to fly in the opposite direction that shadow was facing. He landed head first on the hard metal floor and lied motionless. Then Shadow turned to face the other two and surprisingly they showed no sign of fear. Shadow gave them a look that somewhat complimented their courage and at the same time called them insane. He wasted no time and jumped through the middle of them with the thought that they attack him giving him something to follow up against. And they both did so simultaneously : One with a roundhouse from the left leg, and the other with a simple high kick from the right. And acting to the attack from the left shadow ducked under the guard's leg and held his own out and spun to the right and tripped him. He continued until he got to just the right position to lift it up and strike the other guard in the head immediately rendering him unconscious. As soon as that one hit the floor the opposite guard sprang back to his feet and went on guard again. When shadow became aware of this he sprang back into the air and lifted his knee so that it made contact with the guards temple area. He collided into the wall and fell into a seated position which he stayed in showing that he was either out cold or dead. Shadow then took the arrogant liberty of dropping his shoes back on the floor and stepping back into them and dusting his hands off. He stepped onto the elevator just as the door shut.
Around the bottom of the base a small moat like trench filled with water had been formed from the rain. Under on of the towers three guards had been assigned to watch the area for the night. The stood in front of a large metal hatch labeled "T4 B3 cargo entrance." The mud caused by the rain transformed the water into a dirty brown color giving the area a swamp feel. Knuckles was familiar with this type of environment. He swam along the tower side of the land scanning both sides for any defenses until he came to the three guards standing in front of the large cargo door. He came out of the water slowly until only his head from the nose up could be seen and stared in the direction of the door.
"There's my way in, now how do I open it." He thought as he kicked his feet so he could get closer to the door to look for a device of any kind. He caught a lucky glimpse of a blue hand print reader on the left side behind one of the guards.
"Get rid of two, use one." He thought on as he slowly made his way over to the opposite side of the bank. He climbed on the land and pulled apart some brush to see the opposite bank. He scanned the ground and his sight caught a large hand sized rock. He knelt down and picked it up and started to toss it up and down. He looked around for a place to throw it to to cuase a diversion to hopefully make two guards leave. He spotted a good spot around the bend opposite to the guards positions. He throw it with almost no effort making it land in the water. The splash was very loud and all three guard immediately looked in that direction. One of them signaled for one to come with him and the other to stay behind. The tow of tem walked slowly to the other side in a cautious mode.
"Perfect." Knuckles said out-loud. Now all he needed to do was look for the right moment. When it came he leapt into the air over the water so high the remaining guard couldn't see him. He held out his knee and landed hard on top of the guards head knocking him out. (As knuckles so no reason to take his life) He had to act quickly before the other two got back. He took the guard he had just knocked out by the wrist and took of his glove and quickly slapped his hand on the reader. A thin read light scanned his hand up and down until the blue screen turned green and the hatch slowly opened. He took the knocked guard by the back of the uniform and drug him inside just as it shut again.
"Damnit, this is taking to long." Rouge thought as she leapt from one tree to another. After showing Shadow a way in she didn't expect it's take this long to get inside the base. It seemed as if every kind of entrance was heavily guarded by some kind of guard or device. Even the not so obvious ways in were guarded in some type of fashion. She landed on a branch and went into a squatting position holding her wings up to block some of the rain.
"How embarrassing, and to think I was trained in tactical espionage." She thought on uncomfortably. She scanned the windows and in the midst of this action her ears shoot up and her eyes shifted to the side. She quickly went to standing upright facing in the opposite direction with her arms in a fight ready position.
"What is this..I know I heard someone.." She thought scanning the tree level of which she stood. She heard something else..sound like.laughter? By the time her ears a caught on she was already struck under the chin by an unknown force so hard that she went flying out of the tree and collided with the side of the tower. Afterwards she began fall forward in a way so that she would soon land stomach down but she was again struck, in the stomach this time so hard that it took her breath away. When she did start to fall she was to dazed to catch herself from the blows. She landed hard stomach down staring out to the side with the rain pounding on her back. She was barely able to hear footsteps and more laughter come from the right just as her eyes closed.
"Damnit."
(Whatever awaits, I have no regrets)

Rouge: tch! Damn! I got hurt again!
Knuckles: (mumbles) Better you than me.
Chibi Shadow: Hey, has anybody seen maxcell?
Sonic: No. Hopefully he died. Then maybe, I could.
Rouge: *smacks him*
Sonic: (holding his face) What the hell was that for!?
Rouge: because I knew what you were gonna suggest! You pig!
Sonic: hog actually.
Chibi Shadow: You are so lame..
Maxcell's character design for maria: wow, I'm in one of these crappy summaries at last. I don't see why...Altough I am cooler then the Sega Maria and look totally different from her, but better in everyway. I would at least like to still be alive since the sega maria DID kinda deserve to die due to how stupid and funny looking she was.
Chibi Shadow: how'd you get in here?
Maxcell's chracter design for maria: I've been here..the whole time...
