WOW! I am sorry it's been a while since an update! I got carried away with all my other stories D: Sorry! And I'm giving up on 1st person- it's easier for me to do 3rd person, so... Yeah...

OH! And as for my OC Sugar, I sorta changed her appearance D: Too many Hedgehog OC's. You can find her new appearance on my profile!

So anyway, On with chapter two~

"Akatsuki Meeting!" Pein's voice boomed, his rinnigan looking before the empty meeting room. It wouldn't be empty for much longer.

"Oh man, what the fuck does he want now?"

"Shut up Hidan." Two voices said. Kakuzu and Hidan, the money maker and the Jashinist, walked in, Hidan with an irritated look on his face as his cloak was coated in fresh blood- just from a sacrifice no doubt. Soon, Itachi and Kisame had walked in, as well as Deidara and Sasori. Zetsu and Tobi were next, with Tobi jumping up and down as if he had eaten a whole sack of sugar. He stopped quickly when Deidara gave him a nice clean whack over the head, fallowed with another one for his head as Konan, the only female, walked in, taking her place at the meeting table. All members looked at Pein.

"You called?" Kisame said, a smirk on his face. Pein looked around, seeing the members. Deidara casually propped his legs up on the table, leaning back in his seat, much to Sasori's annoyance. Hidan flicked something off of his arm onto Kakuzu, who slapped him in response to that.

"HEY!"

"I don't like having things flicked onto me."

"Then don't sit there in the way you fatass!"

"Maybe you should-"

"ALRIGHT ALREADY!" Everyone shouted at once. Kakuzu and Hidan shut their mouths, looking back at Pein, who was waiting for everyone to settle down. Finally, after what seemed like hours, he spoke.

"I have notices recently that your training's starting to become a bit dull..."

"Well it's not my fault I'm stuck with an old fart-"

"Quiet Hidan. We can not afford to be weak right now. We have missions to complete, Jinchuuriki to capture."

"So what do you want us to do about it?" Sasori asked, crossing his arms. He knew he wasn't getting sloppy- he would never dream of it. His partner on the other hand...

"I'm going to hire some new members- temporarily of course." He said. Everyone exchanged glances.

"New members un?" Deidara asked.

"Temporarily." Pein repeated. Tobi raised his hand. Pein sighed.

"Tobi, this isn't kindergarten. If you have something to say, just say it."

"OKAY! Will the new members be friendly?" Pein gave him a long look.

"Of course not Tobi! We are an evil organization- We don't hire friendly people!"

"Aw..."

"So who do you have in mind?" Itachi asked, leaning in a bit. Pein leaned back in his seat a bit casually.

"I'll be looking..." Was all he said.

Amber eyes darted left and right. Nothing but torn down buildings were in sight. A light purple cat sighed.

It's all clear... Blaze thought, looking back and forth one last time, climbing back inside of the rusty window. She landed gracefully on the floor, despite her skinny appearance. Her eyes were dull, and your could mistake her for anorexic- although, with the world right now, it meant she was still eating.

"How did it look Blaze?" An older rabbit asked, her fur greasy and out of place. Vanilla still looked beautiful, despite her skinny and dull appearance. Blaze gave her a slight nod, not really in the mood to say anything. A shot of relief went though Vanilla's eyes as she gave off a sigh.

"I'll go wake up Rouge right now to take your place. You deserve a rest." Vanilla said, turning in her rugged dress as she walked away down the torn apart hall. Blaze watched the rabbit disappear into the darkness.

"No one can rest these days..." The cat muttered to herself, walking back over to the window. She looked outside, up at the blackened sky- the smog created by the various fires that would erupt around the city. She tensed up, feeling the presence of another in the room.

"Blaze? Amy made breakfast." Cream's voice said. Blaze turned her head to the other skinny rabbit, her fur also out of place, but her brown eyes still wide with hope.

Hope. Such an unfamiliar word...

"Coming." The cat said.

"And in other news..." The radio said, going into a serious of static again. A rose colored hedgehog huffed, hitting the thing with the power she didn't have.

"Stupid radio!" She growled, wanting to smash the stupid little thing. A silver colored wolf looked at her with sad green eyes, brushing her dark hair out of her face.

"It's not it's fault Amy... It's not exactly in best condition..." She said. Amy pursed her lips, huffing as she crossed her arms.

"Well, then it should be in good condition!"

"I don't think anything is anymore..." Sugar said, picking up the bowl of... something. It wasn't exactly something that you could look at and tell what it was. The wolf sniffed it, her nose wrinkling.

It was better then nothing at the very least.

"Morning Sugar! Hi Amy! Did the radio say anything?" Cream said happily as she walked in with Blaze close behind. Despite the apocalypse, Cream always managed to stay as happy as ever.

Always so bright and cheerful.

"No! It just went back into static again!" The rose colored hedgehog growled, picking up her own bowl of random stuff. The honey colored rabbit plopped down, with Blaze sitting beside her. The four girls ate in silence, just as Rouge came racing into the room.

"They're coming!" the bat panted. Vanilla was just behind her, walking in.

"Who is Rouge?" She asked, holding a bowl in her hand. Rouge turned her head, giving Vanilla the "Who the hell do you think it is?" look. Vanilla's eyes widened, and the bowl slipped from her hands, crashing against the floor.

"No..." She said. Rouge nodded a bit irritably, looking at everyone else, who looked curious.

"What are you all sitting there for? They are tearing the door down as we speak!" Rouge shouted. Sugar and Amy stared wide-eyed, suddenly filled with fear, and Cream began to sob.

"N-No! Th-They-"

"Sh!" Blaze hissed, placing her hand over the rabbit mouth. Tears still fell from her eyes, creating clean streaks down her face. The room fell silent, all turning their heads to the door. Amy yanked out a purple chaos emerald from her bag, one she had found days ago.

*Flashback*

"Oh come on! There's got to be some kind of food out here!" Amy growled to herself, poking around at the ground from some kind of scraps. There was nothing, nothing anywhere. They were all going to starve, and it would be all that stupid-

chitter chitter

Amy turned her head to the sound. A little squirrel was under a tree, grooming itself. The little thing was quite scrawny, but it could work. Amy licked her lips, creeping closer to the squirrel like a hunter hunting it's prey. The squirrel took no notice and continued in a desperate attempt to clean itself. Amy crept a bit closer, her Piko Piko hammer in her hand. The squirrel finally noticed something didn't feel right, and he turned his head slightly, squeaking loudly at the over-sized hammer.

"You're mine now!" Amy shouted, swinging her hammer out. The squirrel darted away, just barely missing the swing. Amy's hammer crashed into the tree. She growled angrily as the squirrel disappeared.

"God dammit- OW!" She shouted as something fell, hitting her square on the head. She was about to shout some more stuff when a purple light began to glow. She looked down.

A chaos emerald.

"Oh my," She said to herself picking it up. She thought Eggman had all the emeralds- that's what he used to take over the world after all.

*Flashback over*

"Amy, what is that?" Cream whispered, pointing to the emerald in her hands. Amy bit her lip. What if it was fake? What if it didn't do anything?

"Sugar take this!" Amy said, thrusting the emerald into the wolf's hands. She looked at her, wide-eyed.

"Huh?"

"You know Chaos Control don't you? Teleport us!"

"A-Amy I-"

"Hurry!" Rouge shouted. Her hears twitched as there was a loud banging sound, meaning to door was broken. They would be on their way upstairs soon. Sugar took a deep breath. She had to try.

"C-Chaos Control!" She stuttered as a light surrounded them all.

And there you have it! Sorry it took so long D: Man, Viva Pinata is so addicting to write I'm not kidding XD *dodges flying tomato* Oh come on I said I was sorry!

And it's probably not the best of my work :/ But... it's something...
