There was a knock at the door. No one really jumped up to get it. Blaze was still cooking and Ralda was eating what was already done. Knuckles was twiddling his thumbs ignoring the knock. “ You guys really suck.” Emerald said. Ralda snorted into her trout. Emerald flung the door open revealing Rouge. Emerald nearly screamed.
“ WHOA! You?…I mean…Your ALIVE?!” Everyone stopped whatever they had been doing and looked at Rouge. “ I guess I have a lot of explaining to do…” She said sitting down. Ralda swallowed a great deal of fish and said, “ Who are you? Friend of Emmer’s?” Rouge looked to Emerald hopefully. “ Yeah…Rouge is a friend of mine….” Rouge looked eternally grateful at her words. “ You know how hard it is to come back?” She asked her. Emerald shook her head.
“ It is very hard trying to contact those you care about when you shot one of them…. I guess I need to tell you what happened… I may need Knuckles’ input though.” Knuckles sat in the chair next to Rouge. “ Well, I used to work for Eggman a long time ago. Well, as it turns out, he placed a microchip in my brain and in my central nervous system. He could control me when it looked as though I was not acting according to plan…..I think Blaze has one-“ She stopped because Blaze was peeking over Ralda’s shoulder motioning Rouge to be quiet. “ So, he engaged the chip, and I was not acting as myself…”
Emerald felt a rush of sorrow for this poor creature. This whole time she thought Rouge was really a traitor, and she was dead…She thought that her intentions were to kill Knuckles and herself. She put her arm around Rouge and tried to comfort her. Knuckles kept looking down at his feet. “ So….Who are you?” Ralda asked Rouge stood up with her hand outstretched. “ I am Rouge the bat. I guess I will be staying….” She said hopefully. Ralda nodded.
“ Hey, the more the better….But you will probably have to help us get that stupid master emerald thingy..” Rouge’s voice was suddenly filled with concern. “ WHAT!? The emerald is gone?” She grabbed Knuckles neck and shook him violently. “ I can’t believe that you guys are just sitting here and loafing around! This is all your fault you know!” Knuckles grabbed Rouge’s arm and stopped her. “ What do you care?” asked blaze as he placed a plate of fish in front of everyone.
Rouge scoffed, outraged. “ I have worked hard at stealing the thing before… I am an expert! Now all of the sudden this,….this…. amateur shows up and steals it!” Blaze interrupted. “ No amateur could have done this…not with two guardians…” Rouge was in even more shock. “ TWO? Where did you get two from?” Blaze pointed to Emerald who was busy eating. “ You are the next guardian?” She sneered again.
“ You are not even capable of lifting the emerald! Let alone protecting it!” Emerald stood up. “ You know what? There are some things I can’t explain! I just am the guardian alright?! I am sick of your crap!” Emerald attempted to slap Rouge in the same manner as she had in the back of the van if you remember that… Rouge caught her arm. “ Oh so you did not think that I know how to fight eh?’ She threw Emerald off of her.
“ I don’t want to fight….that is how I am in this mess in the first place…” She sat back down. “ So…Ralda is it? Do you have anything to drink?” Ralda nodded happily. This was her specialty.
