"What aa surprise, you have lead us right into trouble." Switch said. "I should have lead us." Switch looked around. There was an unguarded door to the far left down the hall. Well if this fool leads us into a trap I know where to go. He turned around, thinking that over and over again.
"Quite down!" Flaming told Switch, "We more than likely would be dead now if we let you lead, well except for me!"
Kaeda was deep in thought at the moment. If the group had been discovered, then why weren't any of Snively's SWATbots or the Royal Guard swarming around them this very moment? Something wasn't right here...
"I don't think there should be any arguing at a time like this," she said to the other three.
Wraith nodded. "She's right." he muttered. "Plus we don't know if this is a trap or not. I guess there's only one way to find out, and that's to keep on going."
He glanced around again, taking in their surroundings. "I suggest we split into two groups, and our main objectives should be to rescue the Acorns, and locate Snivley's hideout, maybe get some info on what he's planning here and what's going on. Who's with me?"
He gritted his teeth as he waited for the answer, silently hoping that Switch would choose to go with someone else...
"Just a minute," Kaeda said. "None of us have been properly introduced. You can't really expect much if we don't even know at least each other's names.
"My name is Kaeda Fox. I am a Freedom Fighter."
"Switch" he said. "You don't need to concern yourself with anything else."
"Wraith, brother of Knuckles the Echidna and joint Guardian of the Chaos Emeralds." muttered Wraith, seemingly not paying very much attention as he once again scanned around for any possible dangers.
"I'm Flaming Chaos, the protecter of the CHaos Force," he told everyone, "I help maintain the balance of Chaos in this world!"
"Now that thats done onto buiness." Switch said. "What is our plan Flaming?" There was an edge to Switchs voice when he said that.
"I can help you sneak past the bots and guards if you must," he told him, "I can cloak you with the powers of my emerald allowing you to easily get to where you're going. However I would have to catch up later! Using that ability drains me of my powers for a breif while, and I would have to find my own way to get around the guards! There is the risk of the cloak dissapating before it is supposed to. The reason why is my personal matters! So what do you say?"
TBC
"Well..." Switch pulled out a small explosive. "Heres what I want us to do. Two people go after Snively. Then someone else go find the Royal Family, assuming they are still alive. I figure there is an armory around here. I plant this explosive. When we are done and clear, I set it off. Wont bring the castle down by a longsoht, but it will trash the room its planted in and the one next to it. What do you say?"
"We want to liberate the village, not obliterate it!!!" exclaimed Wraith, staring at Switch in disbelief. "What sort of a psycho are you??? Do you have any idea how many Mobians could be injured in a blast like that, not to mention the royal family themselves!!!"
"You over short my point" he said cooly. "Its small time. In other worlds not a hi powered blast. A room or two st the most. Enough to create a distraction. And you check for people first. I've been in this buisness longer than you have." Switch cursed at himself mentally for saying that last sentenace. "Well now they know my profession..." he said to himself.
"I still believe an explosion would only alert the enemy to our presence, Switch," Kaeda told the hedgehog. He sure needs to think things through more...
"We can't afford to be seen, you know."
"Well, after you've been snoping around for the royal family and Snively, they might know you're here. We will also be will clear of the blast by the time I set it off. Trust me. I know how to do things like this." he said.
"It really is unwise to set off an explosion here," Flaming said entering the new argument, "I know you have good intentions, but we still don't know if he knows we're here yet! If we set off a blast or try to set off a blast while he's looking around for us, we would be caught in no time! I say we go with what I mentioned first. Everyone will be invisible to wandering eyes, and gives us the advantage!"
"Fine. do it your way." Switch said angerly. "Lets get started then." he added in an impatiant tone.
"What is the plan once I cloak you?" Flaming asked, "I have to know where I can catch up!"
"If you can cloak me for 5 minutes, I'll be good to go. I'll sneak in, use my hand computer (aka the gps thing, and phone he used earlier, think size of a Blackberry phone)and download all the info we need. This will included the royal families location, Eggmans location, and anything else you need, which you should say now as I program the thing." He took out the small computer, and quickly typed in the commands, and then stopped to wait for any others.
Wraith shot Flaming a glance, that seemed to say "Can we really trust this guy not to go insane on us???"
Flaming wasn't looking though, so Wraith stepped forward. "I'm going with you." he muttered. "And as for things we need, let's find out the strength of Snively's defences here for one thing, and maybe see if we can figure his intentions."
"Fine." Switch put the search request in.. I can get the info on the defenses easily. But his intentions are too broad. If I imput that its more likely to try to get every ounce of info out of the system and crash. I'll put in for it to search any kind of personal log, but I have to watch it. If it takes the data too fast, it might also crash. I need to watch it. So when I get to the terminal, watch the door Wraith. I'll give you my pistol when we get there."
"You'll need some help with that." Kaeda took out her own GPS (which also functions as a mini-computer) and started to input some commands. "There could be some protected or encrypted data in there, so this is going to be useful in breaking down those obstacles."

Im going to let the next pearson whos eintrested write the first story of this group if i don't qrite it first
(OOC: Um...quick question Mario...are you an alt of someone already in the story, or are you new to the boards?
If you're new, then welcome to the boards and nice to meet you, but I have to say, that last post about bringing in the Freedom Fighters...have you asked Egg about it? He may have some ideas for them, as he's the writer of the RP, and to just bring them in like that may upset his plans.
Also, just a small note, you could have edited the second post into the first, rather than double posting^^ Just something to remember for future reference.
And if you're an alt, who's alt are you? lol)
OOC:Hey, welcome Mario. Pretty much what wraith said. And on with the RP.
Switch looked at the mini computer. "Ah, thanks. If I can link this time successfully, I mgiht not need 5 minutes, as they would run together. Are you coming with us then? he Swicth said.
"Might as well," Kaeda said. Don't have much else to do except to find Geoff... and I'm worried about Aunt T...
OOC: Short post. Can't really think of much else. Oh, and welcome to the forum, Mario. And also what Wraith said.
OOC: Sorry If I didn't post yesterday, I wasn't feeling well. Also Welcome to the forum and to my RP, Mario(If you are new here)! Your characters are fine, but the idea of the New Knothole Freedom Fighters doesn't quite fly with me! I'm not saying it's a bad idea, it's just that I've got other plans! If you need help or you have a question about the story feel free to message me! Cool?
And now an IC:
Flaming looked at the group, "Don't worry about a time limit, I can harness enough energy to last for hours!"
Flaming Chaos stepped back, held his hand out, and placed his free hand on his Flaming Emerald! The emerald began to glow and a faint hissing sound could be heard. After a few moments he looked at them and spoke, "There your individual bodies have been cloaked from sight. It may not look it but this spell is slowly draining me. Hurry along, I'll have to stay and keep the spell powered. Also when you are done, don't worry about retrieving me for I will be to weak to get around. I will find you later! Ciao!"
TBC
Switch was all buisness. "Lets move down that hall. Dont bump into vases." He smirked at his attmept at humor. "I saw a door down that way." He started to run, which while not sonic fast, he could move at a good clip.
(that's fine eggpire and to everey one else yes I am new)
Every one managed to pass the gaurds without effert. Meanwhile 2 figures aproached flaming "you exauseted you energy cloaking them" ice said. "Did you cloak wraith by any chance?"said isach.
"You 2 I gess youre looking for wraith, well I don't know much about him isach but I did cloak him." flaming replied. "then lets progress to gether dont worry i'll freeze the bots so there sensors don't know we're there and isach will carry you." "it's okay I can walk" said flaming. "then lets go" isach said. Ice froze the robots and the three of them progreesed.
OOC:
Here's a just a few pointers, Mario, A little friendly advice for your future in RPing. I know you're new here so let me give a little help.
Quote:
Every one managed to pass the gaurds without effert.
1)Never advance the plot too fast. It leaves out many oportunities for another person in the story to add to the plot to make it deeper!
Quote:
"it's okay I can walk" said flaming.
2) Never ever take control over another players character, and do what with them you like. It is alright to make another players characters interact with your own just to advance your part in the story. Look back through this RP, and you will see what I mean.
I don't mean to sound so harsh on you, but the RP master makes the rules of the story. You can't just take control over the story and move the story along prematurely!
Here's an example:
What if for some reason I wanted the Cloaking around the group to suddenly fail to work. it would leave them in the open, and give them a chance to work it out.
That can't happen when someone comes in and says everything went fine before I had a chance to post it. Again I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to help you out. If any questions at all occurs to you post it in this Rp and we'll take some time to try and help you out! Maybe you should try out a newbie RP, and I'm not saying you should leave by all means stay. You would gain more experience through them, and I think there is a couple of them active right now!Cool?
No IC for now.
(OOC: Well summerised Egg. And I look forward to RPing alongside you Mario^^
I'm afraid no IC from me atm either. 2:45 AM + illness = somewhat uninspired Wraith XD I'll try to post tomorrow.)
EDIT IC:
So Robotnik and Snivley weren't on friendly terms...
...what else was new? It didn't change the fact that Snivley had control of the castle and indeed the whole of the village!
Sally was lay on her bed again, this time staring at the celing blankly. There wasn't that much to do cooped up in here, and she didn't feel like doing anything anyway. She thought about Nicole...how easy it would be to get away if she had her! Of course, that was why they'd taken her away! She wondered what they would be doing to her...trying to hack her memory maybe, or incorperating her into their own mainframe? Nicole may only be an advanced computer, but she felt like a friend to Sally, and losing her was like another death in the family!
Another...yes, there had already been too many.
Suddenly the door burst open and four guards entered, taking up station on either side of the door. "Princess, you're wanted by the Master." muttered one.
Sally sat up slowly. "So you've given up knocking too?" she muttered, contempt in her voice. "Even for the Royal Family?"
"We have no choice, Princess. Snivley commands us now."
"Some loyalty." she replied, standing up.
The guard looked around quickly, then continued in a whisper. "Look Princess, we don't like it any more than you do, but Snivley has killed all the guards that won't comply! Besides, if we agree to serve, we may be able to find a weakness and take him down! We're still on your side, Princess!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a large SWATbot appeared in the doorway, filling the space with it's huge metal form! A voice spoke from it, not the normal robotic voice, but a radio transmission! "Now now Captain...you should know better than to conspire against me, and especially to talk about it with others! I have ears everywhere you know!"
The guard yelped in shock and turned around. "Sir, I...I was only...I didn't mean...!"
"Of course you didn't." crooned Snivley's voice from the mighty metal obelisk. "You have more brains than that, don't you! Still, I'm afraid even if there's the slightest chance...I can't take that risk!" The robot's arm raised, holding a vicious blaster toward the guard! He saw it and froze, beginning to plead.
"No...please...I...please!"
FAZZZAK! The carpet smouldered slightly as what remained of the guard's fried body collapsed onto it, blackened and charred from the power of the blast.
The SWATbot turned to the other guards. "Anyone else want to suggest an uprising? I'd much like it if you did!" The other guards simply stood stock still, not answering. "Hm...shame. Oh well." The bot turned back to face Sally, who was staring at the remains on the floor wide-eyed, her hands over her mouth. "Yes Princess, as he was saying before he so rudely interrupted himself and his life, I wish to speak to you! Follow the SWATbot immeadeately. Guards, follow behind us and make sure the good dear doesn't try anything."
Sally raised her head slowly, staring into the SWATbot's visor. "You...you monster! You'll pay for this dearly!!!"
"I'd like to see how, Princess...I'd like to see how!"
============================================================
Wraith followed Switch's lead, heading down the corridor quickly as possible. He jumped when he saw a guard turn the corner ahead of him, and immeadeately ducked down, looking around for some cover. There was none nearby!
Fortunately, he'd forgotten about the stealth spell, and the guard walked right past him, ignoring him completely! Wraith caught his breath and sighed.
"Man, that was close!" he muttered.
"Hm?" The guard suddenly spun round, looking directly at him! Wraith froze once again.
The guard looked around the corridor for a moment, then grunted again, poking a finger into his ear and twirling it around. "Need to get your ears tested man." he murmured to himself as he turned and continued on his way.
Note to self...stealth spell doesn't cover sound too! Wraith turned himself, and set off down the coridor after Switch and Kaeda. They hadn't noticed the guard, so hadn't stopped, so goodness knew where they were now! He'd have to move pretty quick!
OOC: I've got to make this quick, I've got a dentist appointment to go to.
IC:
Kaeda managed to avoid being seen so far, and kept quiet. She ducked into another dark corridor and paused. Was Flaming going to be all right? She was worried about him... Grateful but worried...
She looked ahead of her. She had to keep going; there was no time to waste. She had to find Geoff...
***
continued
OOC: Might add more to this later.
As Flaming lay in his Chaos induced trance, memories began to come back to him. Memories perhaps left forgotten. He remembered his brothers laughing at him when he failed at his first Chaos Magic test. Even to this date he still hasn't mastered that art. He had always been jealous of his brothers Chaos Magic, and they had always been jealous of Flaming's Chaos Manipulation. They became envious when the Chaos Force choose Flaming to guard it. They always wanted to show him up in hopes of taking his place.
Then he remembered NightShayed. The only brother he was ever close to. He vanished without a trace after he went down to Mobius to capture a creature with a stong conection to Chaos. Flaming's life was shattered when Nightshayed never returned.
He sighed. He really didn't know why he was thinking of these painful memories. Maybe it couldn't be helped. Whatever it was he didn't want it to affect his mission.
TBC
Switch said in a deep growl, "Don't ever, say something by a guard. Ever." With that he kept moving. Quietly again he said "Just done this hall." He held up his mini computer. "No people in there, lets move."
Im sorry
'Tis alright Mario! If you have any questions just ask before you make a post in the story to avoid previous mistakes! Okay?
(OOC: Yeah, we aren't getting at you or anything Mario, don't worry^^ Just giving you a few pointers, that's all^^ By the look of your bios you have some great ideas, and I look forward to seeing them infold! )
IC:
"Okay, I'll guard the door." muttered Wraithstepping through the doorway and turning to face it, leaning out to look up and down the corridor. "Let's grab what we need as quick as possible."
His mind was drifting to Knuckles...he'd probably be going spare not hearing from him for so long! Knux knew Wraith could take care of himself, but it didn't stop him worrying about him like crazy! He'd have to contact him as soon as they got out...
OOC:Pretty much what the other guys said mario.
RP On://
Switch hurried. He toasted his gun to Wraith. "Just in case..." He opened an access port on the pc terminal, and plugged his minicomputer in, followed by Kaeda's (pardon if i don't spell this right) small computer. The screen on his read as it buzzed to life: "Time until data search and copy competion: 5.674 minutes"
Wraith eyed the weapon distastefully...he didn't like guns. He prefared to use his fists...guns struck him as a "Robotnik" weapon.
Suddenly he froze, listening. He could hear footsteps coming towards them from the corridor outside! quickly he waved a hand to the others, warning them to stay quiet, as he slowly leaned towards the door, trying to steal a glance at what might be coming...
OOC: No prob, Trans, you spelled it right.
IC:
Kaeda froze in her tracks and held her breath. What was going on now? They'd made it this far; had they been found out?
It couldn't be possible...
Flaming noted that enemy troops were patrolling the area nearby. Maybe word had gotten to Snively that intruders had made their way into the village. Whatever the case, Flaming was certain that he was hidden well from unsuspecting on-lookers. He gave a deep breath when the troops gave the word that the area was clear. That was when another thought came across his mind. What happened to all of the citizens? It seemed impossible that they could all be held within the castle. Something was going on that seemed a little awkward. Perhaps something was not right with the whole Snively dominateing the world thing. Perhaps.
TBC
Wraith jumped back from the door again, his eyes wide in amazement! Quickly he shut the door and dived for cover behind a computer console, prompting the others to do the same. The footsteps grew louder and louder, closer and closer...then began to draw away again as they passed the room and moved on!
Immedeately Wraith was on his feet and heading for the door! Switch jumped up too, grabbing the echidna's shoulder. "Just where do you think you're going???" he hissed.
"Following that procession." replied Wraith, urgency in his voice. "It was aSWATbot and some guards, but they had the Princess with them! I need to find out where they're taking her, and if she's okay!"
"Oh yeah, so now you want to go in there all guns blazing like I said at first!" muttered Switch angrily. "You know, if you'd have just listened to me..."
"Shut up!" growled Wraith, interrupting. "I'm going stealthily! I'm not going to let them see me!"
"If Sally is okay, maybe some of the others will be too!" exclaimed Kaeda, once again thinking about Geoffrey.
Wraith spotted her enthusiasm. "Maybe, but I'm going alone. You two need to finish the downloads anyway, and this is too dangerous for you both."
Switch nearly exploded at this, and even Kaeda looked a bit put out! "What do you mean by that?" she asked, her face frowning.
"I mean I'm an experienced Freedom Fighter, and I've fought Robotnik and Snivley before." retorted Wraith. "Now I don't doubt that both of you have valuable skills and experience, but at the end of the day to my knowledge neither of you have actually gone against the bad Egg himself, so it would be safer for you both to stay out of sight for now. I'll catch you both later." Before the others could protest again, Wraith turned and slipped out of the room, running down the corridor at top speed!
(OOC: Btw Egg, will Snivley be an NPC, or will you be controlling him?)
Enraged, Switch tapped his foot angerly "That fool. He has no clue." He looked back his mini pc. 3 minutes. In 3m minutes it would be done. Then he realized something. He had his gun. If he sees the marking on that... Switch was thinking of the GUN issued silencer. He has no clue. He casually increased the data download rate. It migt crash, but he had to take that risk. 1 minute. Just 1 minute and he could take care of buisness...
OOC:Now why does "minute" look like it's spelled wrong...
"What are you doing?!" Kaeda snapped.
"Trying to hurry up," Switch told her. "You want to get going, don't you?"
Kaeda bit her lip. She didn't want to admit it, but she didn't really like sitting here.
"It's nothing I can't deal with," she finally said.
OOC:
Yeah Snivley's a NPC. I figured I'll leave Flmaing Chaos alone this post and introduce another character of mine.
IC:
It was silent across the almost empty G.U.N. base. All of the troops had recently been deployed to attack Eggman's city in attempts of recovering Sonic's body. One man sat at a computer in an empty room. He brushed his long purple hair out of his eyes once, and continued to type furiously.
"If only I knew the access codes!" he said outloud to himself, "Then I can see what is really going down."
He looked back to make sure noone was approaching the computer room.
"For a military base, it is awfully silent," he told himself, "Is Sonic's body really that important that they must send out an army to retrieve it?"
His eyes then went wide when he gained acccess, "I'm in! Now Robotnik we'll see what you are really up to."
He scrolled across screens of insane plans and blueprints for machines of mass destruction. He then stopped at a file labeled 'SONIC'. He opened it without hesitation. Once he glanced at its contents he gave a wide evil grin.
"Oh doctor you've been hiding something from me!" he laughed.
He quickly downloaded it at started to exit when the front door flung open.
"Hey what are you doing in here!" a guard yelled at the man.
"Leaveing," the man said softly the jumped out the window.
"RADIO all G.U.N. agents nearby! We mustn't let that man escape!"
The man ran down the streets of Station Square never looking back.
"They'll never catch me at this rate," the man said, "Still I'm quite surprised that they have no idea that I've been using their computers for weeks trying to hack into Robotnik's database! Well I've got what I need so now I've figure out what to do next!"
TBC
OOC:
I'll just leave him as a mysterious character for now. Some may be able to guess who it is, but you'll just have to wait for now!
OOC:The plot thickens dum-dum-duh Now on with the rp and away from my corny humor.
"Time until completion: 10 seconds" "Almost done..." said Switch. "Done." "It's complete." He took away his mini pc and tossed Kaeda's mini pc to her. Suddenly his rang rather loudly. "what the devil..." "All GUN units, recall. Repeat recall-" he slammed it off. Right now his anger was boiling right off the scales.
The Castle Acorn Throne Room looked very different!
Sally looked around as the troop entered the massive room. The decorations had been torn down, leaving the dull, grey stone walls, but all along the walls massive computer banks had been installed, a massive row of them streaching all around the room, all with flickering screens and flashing lights, humming quietly to themselves.
Her mother's throne had been removed, but her father's was still there. The squat, ugly figure sat in it was certainly not her father though! The large chair seemed to swallow him up like a mouth, the back towering above his small, ugly head.
Snivley grinned an evil, leering grin as the procession stopped in the center of the room. "Wait outside the door. See that nobody gets in." he muttered to the SWATbot at it's head. The bot bowed stiffly and left the room. Snivley then waved a hand casually, and the Acorn Guards surrounding her stepped backwards, taking up positions around the edge of the large room next to computer terminals.
"My dear Princess." murmured Snivley quietly. "We meet at last."
Sally just fixed him with a glare, not responding.
"Well don't you have something to say??? You know how far back we go!"
"You don't belong there, Snivley, and you won't be there for long either! Don't get comfortable!"
Snivley let out a shrill, cackly laugh. "Always the defiant one, Princess...just as I expected! I see we're going to be having a lot of fun these next few days!"
"Whatever you're planning, you'd better forget it!" retorted Sally, rage building up inside her. "I won't let you stay in control of the village like this! We'll stop you!"
"You and what army Princess...Sonic, perhaps?"
Sally's firm demeinour dropped slightly, and her eyes began to water again. Snivley sat back in the throne, a broad, satisfied smile on his face. "You see Princess...you aren't the one to make demands or threats here. You are in captivity, that feisty blue rodent of a lover of yours is now officially out of the picture, and you must remember that not only do I have your precious Knothole and Castle Acorn, but I have your parents too!"
Sally looked up suddenly, her eyes wide. "Mom, dad? They're alive?"
"Oh yeas they're quite safe..." Snivley extended one of his hands, examining his glove carefully for a second, then his eyes slid across to Sally again. "...for now. How long they stay that way is completely up to you."
Sally shook her head slowly. "You...you..."
"Yes, yes, I've heard it all before." interrupted Snivley, jumping down off the throne and atepping forward. "But that is the order of things now, Princess...I say "jump", you say...no, not "how high"...just "yes master Snivley" will suffice." His grin returned as he folded his arms behind his back, in a similar fashion to his uncle! "And you can start by filling in some of the blanks we have in our prison cells. Tell me Princess...where are the Freedom Fighters we haven't captured yet? Geoffrey St. John...Wraith the Echidna...where are they all Princess?"
Ironically, one of those "blanks" was currently not thirty feet away, watching the whole proceedings!
Wraith had followed the procession into the throne room, quickly ducking behind a computer terminal as Snivley ordered the SWATbot to the entrance of the chamber. When the guards had taken up positions around the room, he had dicided it was time for a safer vantage point.
Digging his knucledusters into the stone wall, he began to climb, going all the way up to the wooden celing! Once their, he anchored his knuckles into the wood, hanging upside-down from the roof of the chamber like a fly!
He wached and listened in a mixture of horror and anger as Snivley strutted his airs...man, how he wished he could dive in there and clock him one right now!
He probably wouldn't get far.
Suddenly, his attention was destracted by a cracking sound nearby! He looked around hurredly, then caught his breath in shock as he spotted the scourse of the noise...the wood he was anchored to was beginning to split under his weight! It couldn't hold him!
He looked "up" to the floor again. Fortunately the noise wasn't loud enough to be heard by the others in the room, but if he didn't move he'd end up crashing down on top of them anyway! If he did move, though, he could very well be noticed!
Switch heard expolsions outside. He quickly looked out a window to M and other SWATbots going at it. This is just my day... "Well looks like Snively has busted the hornet's nest wide open. M's out there"
"Damn it all," Kaeda muttered. "What are we going to do now...?"
More explosions outside began to shake the ground, nearly making her fall.
Switch motioned to her. "Get up," he said to her. "We've got to go."
"What about the others?"
"We've got no time for that, girl. Come on!"
