Shadow the Hedgehog

Rouge was sitting on the beach. "Great. There's no way we're getting out of this one. Might as well call HQ and get a pickup. I doubt Shadow or I are coming back here again."

Rouge kicked Glen in the groin and ran off, diving out the window and flying off. Clearly there was no point her being there anymore

Hearing Skye, Shadow returned to GUN despite Rouge's protests. "I've done enough damage Rouge. I'm gonna check on Zet. I can't screw that up." Rouge was left standing there, not knowing what to do.

"Are you calling me stupid? I assure you that's not the case. The fact I'm standing here is proof of that. Idiots don't last long in this job."

"Wouldn't save him from Miles' spells. He had the element of surprise. And Locke wouldn't have had ranged backup to stop the ceremony, so let's be glad it wasn't him there. Mina with his powers?" Shadow shuddered.

*pulls Dylan out of group hug* Run you fool. Run for your life!

Cheery doesn't have to worry about the law. He IS the law. At least in the Void. While you all ponder legal jurisdictions, I'll take the win.

"I don't recall saving your life. Thanks to me you nearly got mauled to death by a pack of werehogs" joked Shadow. "Besides, I have no qualms with you. It's Locke. It's hard to be 'old and sloppy' as he put it, when technically I'm only in my mid 20s and have got out of far worse situations unscathed. It only happened because we got ambushed. Miles came out of nowhere and did some sort of paralysis spell. I never would've got close enough to Mina to knock her out with him around. If he got me, you can be Darn sure he'd have got Locke. I was smart enough to keep Omega at a safe distance. If he hadn't have disrupted it Mina could be 10 times as powerful. I should really give him a bonus for that"

Haha victory is mine!

Shadow opened the door. "What do you want Glen?"

(OOC Well he is in a lousy mood. And you'd have to ask Skye about that).

Shadow was lying on the bed, tired and frustrated. "Don't worry Shadow, Mina and Miles can't get through." "I know. It's just a lingering thought. With my powers I don't know what she could do if she actually got inside HQ... eurgh what's that Darn echidna saying now. Might as well see." Shadow got up and slowly walked to the door before unlocking it.

(OOC He told them up to and including the ritual). "Old? Sloppy? I don't think so. Be grateful I don't kill you where you stand." With that Shadow pulled Rouge inside and slammed the door before locking it.

Shadow stepped out from behind Rougr. "I can explain everything... unfortunately." Shadow then told them the story. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I'd have just knocked her out it could have all been avoided. I'm a failure." Shadow had a solemn look on his face. (OOC I'm off. Night).

(OOC No. She went back to the hotel and is in her room still). Rouge heard the commotion outside her door and was about to investigate when she received a call. "Shadow. I was so worried.... thst dounds horrible. Look get back here as soon as you can. I need to see you again and there's something happening outside. Bye." Rouge walked out the door and saw Skye and Melody's new looks. "Well I can't say I'm surprised by that." "Well that went well. I'm gonna run Hope. I'll get Omega and some extra guards posted here just in case. Bye, I'll be back soon." After making the arrangements, Shadow chaos controlled to his and Rouge's hotel room.

Hope came in behind Shadow. "Hey Shadow. I just went to get a drink. "Oh thank goodness you're OK." he replied. "Of course I'm fine, is something wrong?" Shadow then recounted their trip to Nega's lair and Moebius. "Oh my. You'll think they'll come here? Well the Star Posts are through there in a sealed chamber. The second there's an unauthorised activation, it fills with knockout gas. Doesn't work on humans luckily. We wouldn't want that leaking over the fscility and knocking everyone out." "Ok. I need to call Rouge and prepare for a harsh talking to. Oh, and please keep this under wraps." "Ok Shadow." replied Hope, spontaneously hugging him. "I'm glad you're safe."

As soon as they arrived at HQ Shadow carried Zet to the infirmary. "He's been stabbed. Make sure he makes it. Don't worry Zet, you're in good hands." Omega walked back to his room to charge, and Shadow went to the lab. "Hope are you in here? I need to talk to you?"

"Let's go to GUN. I can drop off Omega and get you patched up."

(OOC Sorry! Desperate times desperate measures and all that. I figured Shadow would at least suggest that option. Don't worry I wasn't planning on actually nuking Moebius :P )."You were willing to pull the trigger minutes ago. But fine. Let's just get out of here. I'll kill them in 30 years or so." Shadow turned on the radio. "We're leaving. But don't worry I'll be back. Eventually."

"That doesn't matter right now. When you get back to GUN tell them to send the Viper here. It'll wipe the whole area from the map. Authorisation code X458-569S-EO2A-GP43. Got that? And Zet, tell Rouge I'm sorry I won't be coming back."

"You B*tch! I swear to you, I will find you, and I will kill you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But someday." Shadow chaos controlled to Zet and put pressure on the wound. He turned off the radio. "It's ok, you'll make it. You'll get out of here. Can you work the teleporter on your own?"

"Just tying up loose ends." Suddenly the tree behind him shattered and toppled over. Shadow barely managed to roll out of the way. "What the hell was that?" He then saw a large figure approach. "A walrus? Think you're in the wrong climate pal." The crack of a whip was heard and Alicia came from the right. "Ok so I've got a hulking guy with a huge set of cannons, and a kinky squirrel. Got any more freaky friends?"

(OOC It's ok. I had a look but the list had loads of former members which obviously wasn't helpful. Oh well, time to greet wave one). Shadow grabbed the first Moebian and smashed his head against the tree before lunging at the one next to him, swiftly breaking his neck. Their screams resulted in a hail of gunfire going all over the place as the surviving members tried to find and kill Shadow. He quickly dispatched the rest, and as the last one tried to flee, impaled him to a tree with a chaos spear. "Stick around." he said smugly before picking up a radio. "Hello runt. Was that the best you've got? How disappointing." (OOC Mandatory Predator reference has been made).

(OOC Who's in the Suppression Squad? I assume I can run some of them once I know who's there. Or you could just change it to generic cannon fodder arriving).

As Shadow moved along the ridge he spotted Miles' reinforcements down below. "Zet, Omega. We have to take these guys out, quietly if possible. You 2 stay up here and cover me. I'm going in." Shadow chaos controlled behind a tree and waited for the reinforcements to get closer.
