Shadow the Hedgehog

"I'm fine," called back Hope, as she shot herself a path forward, the exit in her sights. "Almost there."

"Ok then, let's get moving," said Hope as she ran for the exit. (OOC He mentioned the shrine because he went there and measured the emerald undetected. Rouge just wanted some high quality replicas and got him to make them. There is no nefarious plot going on).

"New objectives? They can't be that hard," said a cocky Hope. After painstaking work, Shadow's job was complete. He presented the replicas of the Master Emerald to Rouge, one lifesize, one to scale. "They're wonderful Shadow," she said as she put the scale one on the bedside table.

"It might be a bomb beep. Or a robot beep. I'm not sure."

"I'm not sure.... hey, did you guys just hear a beeping?"

Fiona Fox? Rouge?

Scourge?

Shadow set to work cutting the blocks of glass from the crate. The job might take him a while, but he didn't want to botch it up. "How much further til the boss do you think?" asked Hope.

Alicia Acorn?

"Sleeping rifle? If you mean a tranquiliser gun they're just as dangerous. If you don't precisely measure the dosage you run the risk of it either having no effect or overdosing the target. Besides, like Melody said, it's just a game. I wouldn't dream of shooting anyone in real life unless my life was in danger. And thanks Melody. I've repaired and built so many guns it's like second nature now, despite the fact I rarely shoot any." Shadow climbed out of the bed and walked over to the crate, taking out a tape measure. "I won't take long," he said before chaos controlling out of the room to the Master Emerald, which he measured the dimensions of at such a speed that he was impossible to detect. That part of his task completed, he chaos controlled back to his room and jotted down the dimensions.

Hope pulled out a suppressor and attached it to the barrel of her pistol. "This should make things easier for me. Good thing it was already threaded."

(OOC I'm ok with a bit of a speed up and adventure).

Hope burst out laughing. "I think you mean Eggman. Though Omeletteman would be a vast improvement." Hope then saw the shape forming. "I'm not sure. I don't think it's an enemy, but be on your guard just in case."

"Hehe thanks. I wonder where this death trap is set anyway."

"I'm hanging in there Melody," said Hope as she dangled on the side of a platform before pulling herself up and continuing on the path. "Sounds like pretty intense training. The sort Shadow does 'because he's bored'."

"It looks like it." Hope hopped from section to section, before coming to a large gap. With a runing jump she just managed to land on the other side.

"Well at the least I can safely say if giant mosquitos attack, I'll be ready." Hope took a look at the next scenario. "I think it's just several seperate scenarios designed to test your skills. As for what's in this one, I have no idea."

"Hehe I wouldn't know. Real life combat isn't my thing. I just build stuff to do with it instead." Hope then laughed at the thought of her in a warzone, tripping over her own rifle.

Hope get firing at the mosquito, jumping in time to dodge it's ground-pound shockwave attack. Eventually the duo slayed the creature and thus completed the first scenario. "Ok, that was pretty tough I'll admit. It's only going to get harder from here though."

"It's just a scaled up version of the regular ones. It has more health and does more damage, but doesn't seem to have any new attacks... yet." (OOC I find it odd that Spectre talks of privacy yet never cared when he invaded Dylan's by raiding his house).

Hope walked forward as a colossal mosquito appeared. "This must be the first boss. It doesn't look so tough."

"I don't know but they don't like the people playing their game. Come on it's just a little further." The floor then caved in underneath them. "Ok. They REALLY don't like us."

Hope wildly fired at the swarm, pausing only to reload. "I think we should go through that pipe. These guys don't seem to end."

"Looked like a giant mosquito or something." At that moment said mosquito tried to jab Hope with it's proboscis, she just managed to twist her body out of the way and shoot at it, scaring it off. In the distance the drone of more wings could be heard. "This doesn't sound good."

Hope hit the start button and the first scenario started. It was a foggy night in the forest. "I wonder what we're going to have to deal with here?" asked Hope as her eyes darted around the screen looking for any signs.
