White Acropolis 3AM
Tails swished his twin tails in a curious, and yet cautious manner as he hid behind a bundle of rocks upon a somewhat secluded ledge. He placed a palm upon the ice-cold surface of the rock he was behind, peaking through the corner at the base before him.
A massively guarded set of headquarters was his desired location. It was swarming with convoys of state of the armed robots, alert and on guard as well as the heavy surveillance that came in the form of towering pole-containing-swarming beam headlights, cameras, and red trip wires that darted all over the place
"Weather suits the mood well," came a gruff voice followed by an air of condensation, causing Tails to instantly turn his head and catch sight of Knuckles.
Tails looked back at the panorama of the enemies they were about to face and had to mentally admit that the haziness of the cloudy mist and shrouds of snowflakes that was half burying the land alive didn't do much to enhance the clarity of things.
"Where's Sonic?" Tails asked, shaking his head to rid his fringe of the excess snowflakes.
"Was gonna ask you the same thing squirt," Knuckles replied, folding his arms as he too, cast his gaze upon the army masses "where's the diversion blue promised? Is he losing his touch?"
Tails' eyebrows where about to furrow in retaliation at having heard his hero being slightly maligned like that.
...that was, before his attention suddenly darted towards the spiral of headlights that wavered all over the place, followed by the deafening howl of the sirens and a chorus of gun loading and before the Echidna and fox knew it... the sound of firearms being blasted into the air.
"Always one step closer, but I'll always be a dozen ahead!"
A blast of electrical energy came pounding towards its victim.
It struck. Neutralising cellular structure. Paralysing its victim and making it vulnerable to attack.
__________________
One step closer...
This triple stage-darkness has encaged my vision for as long as I can remember. All the dark power that runs within my veins have been kept on a leash.
Restrained. In a vice-like grip. Relentless pain that resides albeit bleeding out.
All I desire is to eradicate everyone within my path. Everyone and anyone that has ever crossed it, is there at present... and that will continue to transcend as a threat.
I needn't justify why or explain my purpose.
My greed is a natural hunger.
And my soul... frozen and broken. Scattered in a litter of icebound shards that cut deep.

"Woah!" the target called out, grinning from ear to ear as he watched the mech robot that received the electrical bolt give out a screeching surge, before shutting down and crumbling to pieces. That bolt was meant for Sonic... Sonic, the hedgehog.
"Just isn't my time," he cheered as he spindashed against the next robot- pinging with a bounding force as he darted from victim to victim. Another quake of bullets and laser beams screeched in the blue hedgehog's direction- but were shamefully too late to catch him.
"Sonic!" Tails cheered as he swooped through the air with his propelling Tails, taking down a flying mech in the process "I knew you'd make it!"
"Tails!" Sonic cheered back, giving him a mighty 'thumbs up'.
"Always using the subtle approach, aren't we?" a sarcastic tone resounded, followed by an adrenaline induced knuckle-smash.
"Knuckles! Managed to get some hang time away from guard duty of that Master emerald?" Sonic asked casually, as he spindashed against the next opponent.
"Mmmm..." Knuckles frowned, bringing a fist down against a bundle of rocks, causing the to fly everywhere and to take out any enemy standing in the way "I trust it's safe for now, back home. At that accursed treasure hunter Rouge is away, so..." the red Echidna trailed off, slamming another set of robots which tumbled over like dominos.
"... I happened to be around Soleanna to hear the Sovereign, Princess Elise's distress call of certain strange activities going on in Acropolis. Funny, I predicted you'd be here," Knuckles said.
"...flattered you're trying to keep up the pace with me red," Sonic replied battling on.
"Sonic?"
"I'll be damned if I'm gonna let anything happen to the world or the princess ever again."
"Just what is it that you guys are hiding that you have to get all defensive huh?" Sonic asked casually, drop kicking another robot ten times his height and causing it to tumble over the edge of a glacier.
No sooner could the blue hero have asked that question so coincidently, would he suddenly find the snow beneath him suddenly start to give way as a rapid black hole suddenly opened up across the parameter- seemingly swallowing the three heroes and the robot debris whole.
"Wooooah... what's going on?!" Sonic called out, finding his body helplessly give in to the gravitational pull.
"Looks like a quake of some sort!" Knuckles shouted a growl, trying to glide from free falling ice ledge to ice ledge but found himself knocked out of orbit by cascading snow and rubble.
"...ooopf!" he snorted, as a boulder of snow nearly knocked him out of consciousness.
"Thanks for the heads up Red..." Sonic muttered sarcastically, before looking out towards a cry.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled, before plummeting towards the ground- the heap of snow breaking his fall. Fallen shortly after to the sudden stop was Sonic and Knuckles, who landed uncomfortably, but intact upon the heavier snowed covered ground than their former whereabouts.
".... oh..." Tails groaned, rubbing his aching head, before shaking his mussel to rid himself of more excess snow.
The first thing he noticed before he opened his eyes was the fact that the atmosphere seemed a bit calmer. At least, there was no howling arctic wind, or whiplashing snow.
But as he opened his eyes, he gasped as he noted his surroundings consisted of a panorama of dark-iced surroundings.
The air was considerably bitter compared to outside, in spite of the absence of the wind.
"Hey... is this some kinda ice-cavern?" Knuckles asked, obviously having got up before Tails noticed as the Echidna tilted his head upwards to take in his surroundings.
"Guess so," Sonic skidded beside him,almost making the Echidna jump out of his skin to his annoyance "is everyone okay? Tails?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Sonic," Tails smiled wryly, before running up and joining Sonic and Knuckles.
"Good," Sonic answered with a thumbs up, before casting his gaze amongst the place "man, that was quite a fall. Didn't see it happening..."
"...you wouldn't have done. Blue hedgehog."
The three furries suddenly froze in their positions, before all casting a wary glance towards the direction from where the eerie voice came.
As if to confirm firing questions, a lithe, dark figure began to merge out of the darkness. An intense icey blue surrounding its presence becoming more and more apparent within the icey darkness.
Each silent trudge within the snow was furthermore marking a deeper dread within the heroes' hearts.
It suddenly stopped. A short but considerable distance away. The figure was surrounded by a dark fiery aura, with its head hung low. Almost like a living dead figure on fire, crucified.
Tails almost cried out, causing Sonic to step in front of the two tailed fox defensively. Knuckles closed his agape mouth, before too, adopting a more prominent and cautious stance- his knuckled fists out.
"Hey, now just who are you?" Sonic asked "you don't look like a friendly local."
The head remained to be hung low- out of its desire to remain hide its dark features, or whether it seemed particularly weak was uncertain.
" Always one to play it so casual, Sonic?" it spoke "can't deny that in spite of everything you've fought for all these years and the odds you've defied in dark times... that I find it comes as a surprise that you don't stop to reflect... to feel the edge of misgivings that would alert you enough to prevent them happening again."
"The best I can do is keep an eye out and play it cool. Like I always do," Sonic said defiantly "at the end of the day, I am just a guy that likes adventure."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" the figure bellowed, the mocking laughter reflecting off the ice edges. The deafly ambience caused Tails to shudder and step back a bit- as if the aura surrounding the figure was threatening to approach him.
As if to accentuate his etchingly derisive laugh, a blue bolt suddenly came crashing down besides Knuckles, causing him to sidestep but trip up and roll over.
Getting up immediately, he snarled and got out his razor fists in a defensive manner.
"Complacent. Juvenile and complacent," the figure said, lifting his head slightly, but dropped it again in a zombie like manner.
"Just who are you and what do you want from us?!" Knuckles demanded, his temper seething.
The figure jerked its head with a loud cracking sound, before looking at the figures head on with flaring red eyes. This caused the three furries to shield their eyes somewhat, before slowly dropping their hands to brave their stare.
"Remember the 'flames of disaster'?" it said in a heart-dreading tone.
And it was at that that Sonic suddenly had a flashback of Princess Elise's tears. Her tears that released a certain dark creature that nearly sealed the world's fate...
"Yes, we defeated both forms," Sonic nodded defiantly "Iblis, the raw power. And Mephiles, the concious mind."
"So you thought..." the hoarse whisper replied "at least, you foolish mortals tend to believe, that evil exists in one form. Habitually in the form of fire and darkness."
Its eyes began to give off a more intense red glare, causing Tails to take a step back in the snow.
"...but what about ice and darkness, hmm?" it speculated rhetorically, suddenly striking a cord with Sonic as a dawning realisation fell upon him.
"Mephiles had a brother. A form that would carry out his undertaking if he were to fail." the form explained "and I am known as Ocnaell Nasus." it said with eyes burning like frozen embers.
Sonic and Knuckles narrowed their eyes, before gritting their teeth and exchanging determined and knowing looks between each other.
"Well that says it all then... Nasus," Sonic stated, swooping a combative arm "anyone who is a friend or relation of Mephiles is most definitely an enemy of ours!"
With that, Sonic disappeared like a flash of blue- a rapid-dashing homing attack aiming for the evil flaming form.
Little did the blue blur know, however, that was he was about to do would spell out the beginning of one of his biggest mistakes.
Before Sonic's spin could connect with the spectre form, a ghastly clawing hand shot out at the speed of light and clenched the hedgehog's fragile hand. The claws sank claw-deep and drew blood which stained his white glove, followed by a shroud of smokey poisonous darkness and seem to embody and capture the moment of the contact in time. This dragged the blue out of his spindash into a suspended, puppet like-form as if he was hanging from a noose- lifelessly.
"Sonic!" Tails cried out, about to run in and save his hero, but found himself held back by Knuckles cautiously.
Shrouds of electricity and light beams solarized the area with multiple transitional energy forms rapidly occurring.
For Tails and for Knuckles to watch this event, however, felt like an eternity of anxiety and pain that was screaming in their heads despite being paralysed with a sense of fear and helplessness as to what to do...
But then, without a warning...
...thud.
A lifeless and faded blue was dropped and discarded- his limp body hitting the snow like a fallen eggshell.
"Oh no..." Sonic, Tails leapt in whimpering- beyond caring as to what threat this would've posed to his life. He fell to his knees and cradled Sonic's head in his hands- before checking for any vital signs of life.
Knuckles, too, promptly walked over- beyond concerned as to how his friend was after the surreal ordeal.
As soon he was besides Tails and the fallen Sonic, he bent down on his knees, but instinctively chanced a look at the culprit responsible for this. And he got a shock.
For before him, stood someone in a different form to the one he witnessed earlier...
...the dark shroud with red eyes now looked like... Sonic.
But a dead Sonic. The brilliant blue had fallen to a paled purplish blue. The mussel was greyish and the eyes... one was red and the other was orange. There were also some stripy markings on his spines. Tainted and faded, but still visible.
The creature smirked, before kicking a couple some dusted snow to the side.
"How ironic that fate would have it... that I would be resurrected from Sonic's soul," Nasus spoke with more substance in his voice.
"Indeed," another voice followed.
With that, a semi-circle of androids and robots suddenly appeared, with the leading red clothed robust tyrant, Dr. Eggman- who walked and appeared besides Ocnael Nasus.
"Ah, Tails and Knuckles. How nice to meet again. Rather rude of your blue little friend to 'lie there' in my presence though," Eggman chuckled derisively.
Tails eyes simply welled up, unable to get the words out.
Nasus grinned at the troubled and saddened fox, before sharpening his claw-clad hands which ripped through the gloves imitated off Sonic.
"What's your ploy Eggman...?" Knuckles asked coldly, his shock and sadness starting to simmer to anger since the doctor arrived.
"Ah, well, I see you fell for my trap? A ruckus I started, causing the Princess of Soleanna to send you out here to investigate..." Eggman explained "yes. It was all a plan. And I see you've become acquinted with Noses in the process? Just what I wanted..."
Knuckles gave him an inquisitive look, whilst Tails looked on, the dead and limp Sonic still in his hands.
"I discovered Ocnael by chance. But what's more fascinating is that we have similar plans for this world."
He paused.
"Nasus is an immensely powerful, but volatile and unstable lifeform who needed to leech off a certain balance of power in spite of a weak noble spirit..." Eggman continued "Sonic seemed the best exchange for this process."
"Is Sonic dead?!" Tails demanded, tears have streaked his cheeks.
"He's been subjected to a far worse fate... a certain curse..." Nasus drawled, walking over to such close proximity, that Tails felt the need to crouch back with Sonic still held in his hands.
"But I don't want to give the suspense away," he grinned with prominent canines "take him to the hospital... then pass a message on to the princess of Soleanna. Tell her that a new terror really does threaten the wake of Soleanna, all of man and furry kind, and the world..." he explained, before laughing out evilly, causing Eggman to join in with union. The intimidation coming in like a closing darkness upon Knuckles, Tails and a lifeless Sonic as they suddenly found themselves dissipating... somehow... away from their present situation.
The dark laughs taunting them and leaving their evil, tainting marks.
Soleanna
The waves frolicked upon the sun glittering shores, with echoes of children and other civilians enjoying the day in peace and harmony in the background.
Tails opened his eyes wide, casting his glance towards the clear blue, azure sky with the sun shining. Suddenly questioning whether what he just witness was real.
For better or for worse, he found his heart skipping a beat, followed by shock and dismay as he found Sonic's limp body not far from him... and a worn out Knuckles rubbing his forehead.
"Knuckles!" Tails cried out "did you have the same..."
"Yeah, it can't be a dream if you're thinking what I am!" he said getting up promptly "that freak better be right about one thing... that blue is still alive!"
"What about Ocnael Nasus... Eggman... princess Elise?"
"We'll worry about worrying the princess later! We need to get Sonic up if we can!"
As the Echidna and fox recast their glances around the soleannian shores, they suddenly started calling out.
"Help! Somebody help us!" Tails shouted.
"Somebody help us! Sonic's unconscious and we need to get him to the hospital!" Knuckles reinforced.

OOC: Okay then, new RP. Apprenhensive how something so random is gonna take off and recent Rping activity in this forum has dropped immensely since a couple of years ago :/
Hey, if it doesn't work out, I'll fanfiction it.
Kind of derived from Sonic 360. Soleanna being the main civilian city of peace and harmony, with Princess Elise III as its Sovereign. Places like White acropolis, Tropical jungle and Dusty desert are within reach and stuff but you can make up your own places.
Don't not enter just cos you haven't ever played or know anything about Sonic 360. I'm merely using the template and backstory for settings but it's not an essential to know the ins and outs and even if one insists, am happy to explain.
Enter the RP anyway you want, with any character you want anywhere you want with any motive you want. Though I suppose reviving Sonic seems to be the easiest as of yet.
Play an official or fan character if you want. Please just full in a quick profile 😛

(OOC: OOOOHH! Makes me want to play the game again...Still haven't beaten it with Silver...Aaaanyway... This looks like fun! I wonder if Reni(My usual, Sonic's daughter) would be alowed? If not I can think up someone else...)
OOC: Violet!!! *glompage*
Of course, of course Reni's allowed! And of course Sonic being her father and all is all the more allowed. In fact, it would work.
Wanna go for it? 
OOC: Wow Bent you're on a role! Eggman calling Nasus 'Noses' is a touch of brilliance! (that was intentional wasn't it?) Anyways Since the guild is DEAD (*sniff* RIP) i gladly join! (Gawd I wish it was 2004 or 05 again!) Short on time though so I'll post an IC maybe tomorrow or the day after, but I will post! Looking forward to playing with you Bent and Violet yet once again!
OOC: Holy crap XD actually, the 'noses' was unintentional, ROFL! I'm so embaressed now >_> XD
Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I'd be stoked if this roleplay took off and such 
And once again, I'd ALSO be delighted to have you on board, Egg. I don't need to tell you you're an RP pro, right? 
(ooc: Ok. I think I have something. I've been working on this in my head all day at work today , now I can finally post it. Oh, and yes, Reni is still a princess, though not related in any way to Elise (that would just be wierd...) No, I have no set mother for her in this, and frankly, I don't think that that really matters for this. Just that...Reni is a princess, whether she likes it or not, that's who she is. She can't ever NOT be a princess. *shrug* Aaaanyway...that said....
I have no idea why I'm starting her off in the desert with an emerald, but...*shrug* Oh, and I forget which color emerald was in there, so I'll just say it's the yellow one...)
Serenity sat up, rubbing her head. "Owww..." She stood up, shaking the sand out of her quills to the best of her ability. "Okay...whose bright idea WAS it to put loose maceballs into a river of sand anyway?" She jumped sideways, dodging another of said maceballs as it was tossed toward her by the ever-moving waves of sand in the ruins. "Okay, where IS that darn emerald? Finding it is my only way out of here...I just HAD to go exploring in the desert....Me and my bright ideas!" She glanced around. "THERE it is!" The chaos emerald was sitting on a pedastal at the end of the chamber. The WRONG end of the chamber... Serenity thought, glaring at the perpetual sand-waves that were coming RIGHT AT HER. She sighed and readied herself for the tricky manuvers to come.
There was a platform near her. She leapt to it. This one was above the level of the sand-waves, so there was no danger of being swept off and back to her starting position. That wasn't the case a bit further on. She'd have to be careful if she wanted to get to that emerald without having to start all over again. Not to mention the maceballs that were carrening all over the room...
Eventually, after several patience-trying failed attempts, she made it to the other end of the chamber, narrowly avoiding another maceball. She stood for a minute on the pedestal before the golden chaos emerald in order to catch her breath. She reached out and touched it....
...And was instantly back in Soleanna, in an alcove to the left of the town hall where the desert portal was. She looked down at her purple hand, now holding the yellow emerald. She sneered disdainfully at it. All that for a silly glowing stone...And I don't even know WHY I wanted it. "I'm gonna be brushing sand outa my quills for MONTHS!" she grumbled, giving herself another rigorous shake, with minimal results. She could still feel the grit under her quills irritating her skin. Oh well. Now I have an emerald. Though I don't quite know what to do with it.
Suddenly, her sharp ears caught a cry for help. "Somebody help us! Sonic's unconscious and we need to get him to the hospital!"
WHAT?! Daddy?! He's hurt?! Instantly forgetting her hard-won prize, she dropped the emerald on the ground and rocketed off in the direction of the shout. "Daddy! I'm comming!"
TBC
OOC: I see the feisty Serenity hasn't changed XD Awesome entry violet!
IC:
Soleanna
Tails gasped as he saw a worried-struck Reni running in their direction, her yellow shoes kicking the sand wildly as she tried to arrive at their spot post-haste.
He was happy and relieved to see her, but at the same time, sorry-struck for the circumstances in which this was happening.
"Serenity!" Knuckles cried out surprised.
"What's wrong with daddy?!" she demanded, her eyes widening with extreme worry "he looks so pallored and lifeless... NOT like my daddy AT ALL!!"
Reni instantly buckled down to her knees, rapidly but carefully, caressing her father's head in the palm of her hands.
"What happened?!" she demanded once again.
"Reni..." Knuckles began hesitantly "he's not dead. Just unconcious. It's a long story..."
"Well, be quick and TELL ME!!!"
"Guur," Knuckles said scratching his head "well, remember the distress signal Elise sent out? Your father, Sonic, wanted to investigate and called us along. To white acropolis. We bumped into some trouble along the way..."
"My daddy can handle anything!" Reni insisted, her eyes welling up "what could have been so horrible and vile enough to have left him like this?!"
Knuckles opened his eyes wide, before narrowing them again.
"Ocnael Nasus..." he said in a serious tone, narrowing his eyes as he suddenly had a flashback of the dark figure in dread who transformed into a nasty looking replica of such of Sonic.
"...wh... what?" Reni asked confused, another couple of tears streaming down her cheeks.
Tails pursed his lips, feeling the anguish of her concern.
"A very dangerous guy Reni. He's working with Eggman. And do you remember the events of the 'flames of disaster'? Well... it seems it's all not over yet."
OOC2: Ok then, queue for Reni's response, or whatever anyone wants to happen.
Elsewhere
The discarded yellow emerald shimmered vibrantly against the sunlight- sending refractions of light that danced across the tarmac.
...it would only be a matter of time before someone would be lured to its twisted beauty, and thus taken away.
"Gotcha!" a figure spoke out, as a silky white glove instantly scooped the jewel off the ground.
The figure that had been flying whilst retrieving the emerald landed effortlessly on the tarmac road, before folding her wings inwards.
"Easy pickings," she said "but who would be dumb enough to leave a chaos emerald lying around here?" Rouge the bat mused.
As if to answer her own question, she couldn't help but pick up a certain commotion with her well tuned bat ears not too far away. Rouge recognised some familiar voices.
"Well, be quick and TELL ME!!!"
"Guur," Knuckles said scratching his head "well, remember the distress signal Elise sent out? Your father, Sonic, wanted to investigate and called us along. To white acropolis. We bumped into some trouble along the way..."
"My daddy can handle anything!" Reni insisted, her eyes welling up "what could have been so horrible and vile enough to have left him like this?!"
"What's this?" she asked herself "is Sonic hurt? Wow. They must've been pretty slick to get near him... maybe I ought to go spy on Red, Tails, and blue's precious daughter..."
she smirked, about to take off to flight to the sky.
OOC: Ooooooh, this sounds too good to pass up. Although I haven't RPed with Sonic "furries" in ages, I'd be glad to try it again. So I'll be bringin' out the old guns! >3
Hope you don't mind what I'm writing, Violet. I'm loosely associating my character with Reni, but if you'd rather it not be so then just say the word. ^^
IC:
It was a lovely day at the beach; the sky was clear, the water shining, and the sand warm and pure. There was even a slight breeze to the air that whispered by one's ears as the gulls circled and wheeled overhead. Nothing urgent was demanding anyone's attention, a rather welcome change for most. All in all, it was a perfect day in paradise. A wonderful chance to just sit back, enjoy the sun, and relax....
A sigh of contentment slipped into the air, its owner protected by a striped umbrella set up in the sand. Beneath the umbrella sat a red-furred fox, her tail and ear tips colored black, with deep purple hair swept back into a braid. Her silvery eyes scanned the pages of the novel she was currently reading rather animatedly, a smile playing on her lips as the breeze toyed with the edge of her blue sundress.
Life was good, Ruby decided. Very good indeed.
All of a sudden there was a minute flash in the corner of her eye, forcing a blink out of the young vixen.
Must be the sun. Probably glinted off some frisbee or something...
Then..."Somebody help us! Sonic's unconscious and we need to get him to the hospital!"
That got her attention. Sonic? As in, Sonic THE Hedgehog? Princess Serenity's father? Not knowing any other by that name the red-furred fox glanced around her spot anxiously, noticing that some distance down the beach there appeared to be three blurry figures, one laying prone in the sand. Ruby's eyes squinted as she half-rose out of her chair, using a hand to shield her line of vision from the sun.
As if to confirm her method of action a purple blur came speeding toward the scene, skidding to a stop next to the three silhouettes and sending up a spray of sand. There was a cry of "Serenity!" from one, and Ruby dropped her book immediately onto her towel, taking off running towards the familiar female figure. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, but the long-haired vixen could only hope her friend would remember her...
And that nothing too horrible had happened....
"Serenity! Reni!"
OOC: Sounds ok, I guess. Though it might be useful to know how they know each other...as I'm a little unsure of the interaction unless it's a character I KNOW she knows...if I'm making any sense....
IC:
Serenity was silent for a few minutes, seething at the nerve of this Ocnael Nasus person. She looked down at her father, his sickly palor a grave contrast to the heroic image of him that was implanted in her brain. She idolized her father, but she was also protective of him, not that he usually needed it. Now, however, her protectiveness surged to the front, and her eyebrows knitted together dangerously. "I'll make this Knock-kneed-Nasal person regret the day he hurt you, Daddy...." She growled to herself ominously.
Just then a voice called out her name, and she was jolted out of her dark mood momentarily. She instictively stepped protectively in front of her unconscious father, and scanned the horizon for the speaker.
TBC
OOC: Sorry, all I could come up with. Oh, and I will be gone for a week starting Saturday for a vacation with my parents, so, just a heads up. Oh, and I may bring Surge into this as well.
OOC: Kim! Glad to have you in!!! 
Oh wow, can't emphathesize (spl>?!) how delighted I am! And I'm also stoked to see Ruby! Yay!
Lol, had to laugh at Reni's scorn to Ocnael Nasus XD
Writing IC now now! 
OOC: Tis Bentleee
IC:
Soleanna palace ruin
There was a time, when I existed in a world- which consisted of nothing but an ocean of blazing infernos and raining flames. Horrible, crawling lizard-like monsters and molten rock demons infested the earth- leaving ash and debris as they marched along with the trails of fire following them. All former life before 'the flames of disaster' withered away and died, just like the rest of the earth.
I tried so hard to put a stop to all of that- to at least quell the fire that would never go away. Me and my companion, Blaze. But we failed, fight after fight.
The dominating fire overlord, Iblis, resurrected itself over and over again.
I would've given anything to bring an end to Iblis, and the flames of disaster once and for all. Anything to pacify the flames that leeched the life of anything and everything in its path and the poisonous hot soot that saturated the air. And to laugh in the face of that heinous, horrible monster that started it all- after dynasties of taunting and mocking laughter that was always braised in my face for coming to naught in yet another blazing battle.
I would've given anything. Me and Blaze would've given ANYTHING.
...almost anything.
Why did I not realise what I had... until it was gone.
For the 'flames of disaster' was finally quelled, Iblis was demised and a new dawning sun shone upon the city. A sense or peace, tranquillity and serenity reborn.
A new world I had never had the privilege of knowing suddenly flowered before my eyes.
...but it all came at a price.
Blaze.
'The flames of disaster' wouldn't accept me as a vessel in which to seal it. Instead, Blaze had to sacrifice herself so that we could live in the world we live today.
Suddenly the fall of Iblis didn't seem as glorious as I would've anticipated.
...but if I could go back and choose Blaze, or the world... I would've chosen...
Silver stood there upon an ancient altar in the middle of the sub-urbian regions of Soleanna. He often came here to reflect. And he had to do a lot of that recently.
Seeing as the world had been saved through laud, glory and honour by his services and that of Sonic and Shadow- there wasn't much danger to fight off lately.
"Maaaaan," he sulked, still grieving from Blaze's disappearance. She was the best and only friend he ever had.
"You're still so naïve. But I always like that about you," she said as her spirit ascended and slowly dissipated into the air during her noble sacrifice.
As he was about to jump off the high stony pillar of the altar to land on the grassland, he suddenly stopped when he could acutely sense something...
"Stop there!" he hissed, suddenly igniting and indigo colour which was his trademark telekinetic ability. He spontaneously picked up a boulder and hurled it in the direction from where he sensed some immoral presence.
"Or was it?" he thought, as he watched the boulder simply smash into pieces against the wall of the interior ancient ruin he was inside where the altar was.
"Still so brash and imprudent Silver? He he, nothing changes!" a chuckle was let out.
Silver narrowed his eyes, before holding his fists out in a defensive manner.
Out of the darkness, a dishevelled, aura-surrounding blue hedgehog, with bleached streaks and century old wounds, emerged as if from thin air. Two different coloured irises, orange and red dotted his eyes and they seemed to be intense and burning with a sinister enmity.
"Who are you? And how do you know my name?" Silver challenged, picking up another boulder with his telekinetic abilities.
"Ocnael Nasus," the figure replied "and how I know you, I will reveal in all due time. Not that it really should matter."
Nasus, jerked his head to the side, which gave off a painful crack and almost made Silver wince- but for the fact he refused to show any weakness in front of this weird newcomer.
"I know what it is that torments you. A former cherished one... am I right?" he asked sympathetically (or at least adopted his tone that way).
Silver looked down to the ground, rendered speechless as he felt a certain emotional weakness exposed.
"Wouldn't you like to bring her back?" Ocnael asked, smiling.
"She sacrificed herself for the world. As much as I didn't want her to go, she made that choice herself," Silver was firm about "there was no other way. It had to be done."
"That's a lie," Ocnael said, narrowing his eyes and dropping his voice to a ghostly tone.
"The flames of disaster could've been sealed by another. A blue hedgehog..."
"No! That's not true! You're deceiving me!" Silver refused to believe "what prove do you have... Ocnael Nasus?!"
"You were already told he was the Iblis trigger. And you got so close to killing him... til you let a certain pink hedgehog, Amy Rose, talk you out of it," Ocnael spoke in lower octaves "so naïve ad gullible. Second chance you had, you let that rogue of black hedgehog tell you otherwise of the Iblis trigger once again- and let him out of your grip. Perhaps you all, somehow, managed to save the world from the flames of disaster. But at what cost... where are your 'friends' now?"
Silver fell silent, unsure as to how to answer.
"That's right. She was your only friend," Ocnael spoke in a voice like black silk "and though this may be a bad time to be telling you this, Silver. Another threat is over the horizon. An ice elemental of the 'flames of disaster'..."
This earned Silver's attention, despite the periphery of his mind frantically questioning the validity of Blaze's renunciation.
"Imagine... not a world where fire reigns and dissolves lives and souls within its path. But one that suspends and paralyses life and reduces it to an eternal state of dark perma-frost. Shards of ice enroaching everything it meets... rendering everyone's heart and soul to stone..." Ocnael depicted through dark words "'the eternal ice age."
Silver looked at Ocnael somewhat incredulously, before standing up taller and lowering his fists.
"Why should I believe you?" he demanded.
"Why SHOULDN'T you believe me?" Ocnael sniggered "if you wish to dismiss me as a figment of your imagination. Go ahead. But you'll regret it. Espicially if you don't go and defeat that blue 'trigger' once and for all..." Nasus said coldly, before laughing with heart-stabbing tone as he started to disappear.
Silver eyes widened, causing him to jump in closer.
"Wait!" he demanded.
"If you want to save the world and more importantly... bring Blaze back to life... Kill Sonic."
"...but..."
"Go back to Soleanna and take another look at that blue hedgehog. You'll see the animal he really is... and what you're in for if you don't fulfill your duty... 'silver knight of honour." Nasus laughed mockingly, before having fully dissipated into thin air as Silver saw after running a clean hand through the air where he was standing formerly.
Left really confused and with mixed feelings about the events that had just passed, Silver suddenly turned and ran into the town of Soleanna.
Maybe some questions would be answered that way.
Soleanna
Rouge observed the happenings.
It appeared that Reni, Knuckles and Tails were indeed, in some panic and anxiety over Sonic's current state. And indeed, what a paled limp mass he looked. Never had she seen him so ill-looking.
Her ears suddenly twitched when she heard another voice..
"Serenity! Reni!" a cry came from a running, red furred fox.
"Huh? How come I never noticed her before?" Rouge thought, surprised she wouldn't have picked up the obvious presence of the 'oh so joyful' and care-free fox before.
Her calling got Reni's attention, as she stood up after kneeling down and mourning at her current father's state.
"Ok boys and girls!" Rouge called out, swooping down to land in front of the assembly of furries.
"this is top secret G.U.N agent, Rouge the bat." she said, holding up her ID card.
"I have reason to believe our blue friend, Sonic, is in a bit of a state here," she said, looking unimpressed "may I ask who's responsible? And corporate with me. Or I'll have the right to arrest you and take you to G.U.N for some questioning..." she said, enforcing her order with a flip-mobile phone she pulled out, ready to dial depending on everyone's, or anyone's, response.
OOC: I haven't forgotten bout this one! Just trying to catch up with tasks in real life first! Don't worry I'll be along (hopefully) shortly!
Good job so far guys!
(OOC) Bit of a time jump, eh? I may work on something, but for now I'll just watch.
End OOC.
OOC: Heh, much thanks. Flattered ppl are interested
I'm a little stuck as to where to move things. But hopefully I'll get an idea soon. Or wait for other players to post once they've had their hols ^^
OOC: Finally at last I'm a joining in! It took me long enough, but hey better late than never right? I'm just going to use my "usual" characters for this one! However since I don't think played using this chars alongside anyone in this RP I think I'll fill out that profile!

Age: 32
Appearance: Tall and slim. Green Eyes, and medium length purple hair. Wears a professional buisness suit (tie and all) of a blue colour! Often seen wearing deep blue shade sunglasses
Character: A multi-billionare CEO of a weapons manufacterer. He has helped craft many of the arms seen on G.U.N. personel. The creation of the G.U.N. bettle has been credited to Mr. Blackweller. On top of that he also is married to the sultry actress Mariah Kingsley (now Mariah Blackweller). Yes it seems he has it made. However, looks are immensely decieving. In public Melven is an extremely nice guy, he listens to each and everyones opinions carefully and tries to offend no one. He donates large sums of money to Station Square (his hometown) charities. What people don't know is Melven's secret double life or what used to be his double life. Mr. Blackweller had also aided a Doctor Eggman in his many schemes of global domination. Melven had gained Eggman's trust, and a very veiled form of friendship. Eggman used Melven's endless pockets to his adavntage, and crafted many of the deadly creations that was used to terrorize the planet. You like the Egg Carrier? Blackweller funded. As time went on Melven became stingy with his hard earned dough. He was tired of Eggman wasting it all on invention that would later be trashed by, as Eggman would say" that hedgehog!

Her identity is unkown to anyone who hires her, and she makes sure her target know who she is just before their execution. Having wed Weapons expert Melven Blackweller only made her hits easier. She will accept any job, but don't expect it to be cheap! If you're looking for her assistance then you should already known how to get in contact with her!
Talents: Acting! Also Sniping, hand-to-hand, stealth, etc...

Melven stood out on his luxorious balcony, the wind brezeeing through his perfect hair. He wore a silk bath robe, blue of color with gold trimming lining the edges. He held a small drinking glass with a golden liquid sloshing back and forth. He brought the glass to his lips, and took a short sip. He smacked his lips and breathed a sigh as he looked out on the water city of Soloeanna. His six story eighty room monster of a house stood on a hillside towering above the city, in fact it could be seen anywhere in the city.
Melven had moved to Soleanna to escape Dr. Eggman's foolish exploits. Eggman was so self bent on taking control over this planet that he would mindlessly spend each and every penny that Melven forked over literally in minutes. Time after time again Mr. Balckweller watched as Eggman's plans fell short until he just couldn't stand it anymore and left. Now here he was free of Eggman and his minions. Blackweller thought Eggman had ttracked him down once when he was after the Flames of Disaster, but Eggman clearly didn't realize his former provider lived in the vicinity.
That was all in the past now, and Melven lived peacefully here in the water city with his lovely assassian wife. The two were a dangerous duo even if that danger could not be felt by the citizens below.
"Lovely weather isn't it dear," Mariah walking out in similar bathrobe compared to her husband's, "Did you hear the juicy news yet?"
Melven turned to his wife and smiled, "You mean about Sonic? That just happened a short while ago!"
"So do you think Eg-"
"Eggman had anything to do with it?" Melven then began to laugh, "See that! You already got me laughing, and this early!"
"Early? Well I guess?" mariah looked over her shoulder and let loose a small chuckle, "But seriously!"
"Has Eggman really ever succeeded in doing anything to Sonic? The only ones who achieves anything are the one who act on their own accord! Eggman is just...you know!"
He looked down, tossed his glass over the balcony and went back in side his house. Mariah followed shortly after. "If you'll excuse me I'll be getting dressed now!" Melven said as he stepped inside his massive dressing room. The door came to a close and a muffled voice came through the walls, "So have any hits lately?"
"No, none! This month has been rather boring!" She fell back against the bed arms outstreecthed like an angel, "You'd think somone needs someone killed! Oh, well we're wrapping up filiming on His Daughter's Wishes next week so I guess that's exciting!"
Melven came walking out in his usual attire. Blue suit and blue shades. "How do I look?"
"Fine. We'll when when you be back?" Mariah said rather bored.
"Shortly! I'm only going to a buisness meeting today! After all G.U.N. should be excited to see what I will be rolling out next!"
"Well then see you later! Love ya'!"
"Love you too!" Melven kissed his wife and exited the room!
Shortly in Soleanna
Melven was making his way down the street on his way to the business meeting.
"Sonic was spotted around here wasn't he?" Melven was a little curious and decided to see what exactly was goin on. And that was when he spied the little crowd over what appeared to be the Hedgehog. He also spied someone he was well aquantied with at G.U.N., Rouge.
"I have reason to believe our blue friend, Sonic, is in a bit of a state here," she said, looking unimpressed "may I ask who's responsible? And corporate with me. Or I'll have the right to arrest you and take you to G.U.N for some questioning..." she said, enforcing her order with a flip-mobile phone she pulled out, ready to dial depending on everyone's, or anyone's, response.
"Agent Rouge." Melven said as he casually walked out to greet the crowd, "Are you sure you have any authority to do any such thing." He then looked down at Sonic, "We'll it seems the rumors were true. Whoops." He said as he looked at Rouge, "I guess that implies I know something! Does that mean you'll have to take me in as well?"
"What the hell are you talking 'bout?" Rouge said as she looked down at Sonic, "He was only just discovered! And about taking you in? Yeah you seem alreeady to know more than these, Mr. Blackweller"
"Well agent Rouge let's say I have my resources, and like I said before, do you have any auhtority whatsoever to haul me or anyone else in?" Melven said with a sneer.
Melven and rouge were never great allies, and the tension seemed to increase as the two bickered back and forth!
OOC2: Sorry if it's kinda sloppy and very abrupt. I just had too many ideas cooking at once about what I can do with these characters. So sorry about that I'll try to get back to my usual writing habbits in the future!
OOC: Will be adding two more characters to the mix. Hope no one minds. ^^

Soleanna
Ruby reached the group panting, a smile appearing when Reni's eyes took on the look of recognition. She was about to ask what on earth was going on, and did they need a ride to the hospital, when a white-furred bat swooped in on them and brandished a G.U.N badge in their faces. The new arrival began demanding answers and explanations, threatening to enforce her authority and arrest any one of them if they didn't comply. Ruby twitched.
Sure, wave that thing around... And so politely, too. She frowned. Can't she see that Sonic needs medical attention? Put that badge to use lady, and get us an ambulance!
Just as the vixen was about to voice this last thought another newcomer arrived at the scene, and she very nearly slapped her hand to her forehead when the two agents (At least, she thought the man was an agent as well) began to duke it out.
For crying out loud..!
"Alright! That's it. You two can just stand there and bicker the day away for all we care," Ruby said, hands on hips. "Sonic needs medical attention now. Once he's settled you can get your interrogations under way, got it?" Her tail swished back and forth agitatedly, just as eager to get to the bottom of this strange situation as everyone else was.
The bat (Rouge, apparently) glared at her, baring a pearly fang and asking, "Just who do you think you are, ordering G.U.N agents around kid?"
Ruby rolled her eyes. "Firstly, the name's Ruby Tropinov, and I'm not a kid, thanks. Secondly, I'm a W.P. agent. Stands for 'World Protection', though I doubt even G.U.N. has heard of us. We don't go flashing our badges around, Rouge."
White Acropolis
"Did you hear that?"
Blue eyes searched the horizon nervously, their owner a small jackal/huskie mix whose ears were twitching wildly. He was bundled up in all manner of winter gear, a pair of heavy boots adorning his feet, and thick gloves covering his hands, which gripped a ski pole each. Skis were strapped to his back along with what appeared to be a pack of camping gear, snow-shoes sticking out lopsidedly.
"Hear what, kid?" The older jackal behind him questioned lazily, violet eyes half-lidded as usual. He was similarly decked out as the youth in front of him, save for the cigarette the hung from between his lips.
Sasha glanced back, a focused frown on his muzzle as he replied, "I'm not sure exactly, Vlad. Sounded like... snow. Shifting. Lots of it, too."
Vlad blinked, staring out at the horizon as well, eyebrows knitting together. "An avalanche?"
"No. Nothing that big..."
The jackal sighed, as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders, then said, "I suppose we have to check it out... Even though the likelihood of something strange being afoot is about as great as my chances of coming by another pack of cigs all the way out here..." He mumbled something about paranoia running rampant back at headquarters, to which Sasha blinked himself, then turned back to the younger canine. "Alright, kid. Lead the way."
Sasha nodded, nose twitching along with his ears, and pointed a little to the right. "This way..."
OOC: Edit.
Sorry for posting twice like this... I had no idea I did that. xD
OOC: Bloody awesome characters and posts guys! Wow!

"HELLO-OO! People! Ruby's right. What matter's now is that my father gets the medical attention he needs!" Serenity said, her impatience tinged with more than a little worry "And I intend to actually DO something about it!" With that, she stooped to pick up her father, feeling a bit self-conscious, as she strained under his weight. She was not completely accustomed to carrying people around (especially her FATHER) but she was JUST strong enough to do it. "Alright. Point me in the direction of the nearest hospital."

OOC:Yes, my first post.Please don't say its horrible. Read it over.Then go back a second time.Re-read the parts you liked.Re-read the parts you didn't understand.Soak it in....Then you can say its horrible.
Name:William "Peaches" Balsid
Species:Human
Age:27
Appearance:Tall, Caucasian, long dark brown hair. Has only been seen wearing his uniform. Which consists of black pants, a black shirt(long-sleeved or short-sleeved), and usually a regulation combat vest. This also includes the many knives and guns he keeps with him at all times. A small combat knife on the upper left side of his vest, a medium sized bowie knife in his right boot, a large single edged knife on his belt, throwing knives on/in his vest, on the back of his belt, and two larger throwing knives on the back of his thighs. The guns consists of two .45 calibers concealed on his lower back, two .50 calibers on the outside of his thighs, and a 357 Desert Eagle on the left side of his belt(reversed in the holster, he's right handed). No one knows if he has any street clothes.
Character:Once he graduated school he went straight into a GUN training academy. Passed through with flying colors and was chosen to be part of the Reaper unit. A small six man team called in for various missions. The team was reduced to five when the former captain died and Peaches took over command. Since then he has led the unit through many successful missions. Though he does has a habit of disobeying orders, just like the former leader. He has hardly ever taken step into his own residence, which is constantly being moved for various reasons, due to the fact that he is always at a GUN base doing something. The only thing he has away from GUN is his weapons collection which he is always looking to expand.
Talents:Master of close quarters combat. Knows seven different fighting styles: four in hand to hand, two in knife fighting, and one in sword fighting. Two of the hand to hand styles he developed himself. Expert rifleman, turret man, and tactician.
Don't make fun of the name. I couldn't think of anything else.
IC:
Somewhere over the ocean
The clouds passed by the window like trees in a car ride. The sound of the helicopter blades was loud enough to drown out thoughts. Peaches turned his attention away from the window and looked around at his team. They were all silent. There was always a silence after a mission. The silence was quickly broken as the co-pilot looked back from the cockpit, "Hey, we just got word that General Coralis wants to see you once we arrive, Captain."
Travis, who was their tech support, looked over to Peaches, "What are you gonna tell him this time?" Peaches looked back at him, "The same thing I always tell him. I'm gonna tell him that the orders were in bad judgment and I was acting our best interest. If we would have gone with their orders, Michael wouldn't have gotten away with just a bullet wound." He pointed to Michael, who dealt mostly in their demolition work. He had received a bullet to the leg earlier that day.
Randy, the offensive support, brought himself into the conversation, "Seriously. You could throw a grenade into the middle of the room and hit at least twelve of 'em." Travis looked back to Peaches, "Just promise you won't go off on the General this time." Peaches took out his large knife out of the sheath on the right side of his belt and a small cloth from his pants pocket and began to wipe the remaining blood from the blade. He was careful not to drop the XM8 on his lap."You know I can't promise that.", he said, "You know that to be a fact."
Kiwi, the sniper of the team, added nothing intelligent to the conversation. "Hey guys! Check it out. That cloud looks like a bunny!" The co-pilot turned back around, "ETA 15 minutes, guys." Peaches, having finished cleaning the blade, put his knife back into the sheath, "It's about time."
Undisclosed GUN base
Peaches sat patiently in the office of General Coralis. Many medals and awards adorned the walls. Coralis was a high-ranking General in GUN, well trusted by the Commander. Peaches had much respect for the General he had served under since he graduated from the academy. Coralis served his time as a grunt in the front lines many years before.
Peaches thoughts were interrupted as the door opened and General Coralis walked in. Peaches stood up and saluted almost instantly. "At ease, son." The General walked over to the other side of the desk that Peaches was seated in front of, "Have a seat." They both sat down in sequence.
"You disobeyed orders again." Peaches immediately cut into the conversation, "I was only looking out for my unit!" The General motioned for him to calm down, "I know, I know. But you can't go directly disobeying orders. I know you're just trying to do a good job, but it doesn't matter. Their orders are not up for negotiation. You know that." It took every fiber of Peaches' being to remain calm. "But they have no common sense. I doubt half of them have ever been in the field. Every single one of them seem to think that we're robots! That we're just going to follow their orders like it's the word of God!"
The General eyes were full of concern, "I know how you feel. I had to deal with my share of bad judgment in orders when I was in the field. But I can't do anything about it right now. Terrorists have been popping up like weeds and I've gotten word that Eggman is up to his schemes again. Why don't you just become a regular tactician? You'd could show the others just how its done." Peaches already knew the answer to this. "No thanks, sir. I've been offered that job before. I feel I can do more out on the field."
"I know exactly where you're coming from. I just don't you want to end up like the Grim Commando." Peaches froze at the mention of the former leader of the Reapers and his mentor. "He was a damn good soldier.", the General continued, "I served next to Grim for many years. He'd never leave a man behind, never. We used to say he'd even take the souls of the dead, if he could. I know your just trying to follow in his footsteps, but you can't just go around doing what you want, even if you know its a better choice. If you keep this up, they're going to consider kicking you back down to a private, or worse."
Peaches thought about all of this and came to a decision. "They won't get the chance,sir.", he stood up, "I quit." He promptly grasped the GUN emblem on the right shoulder of his shirt and ripped it cleanly off. He then placed on the desk. The General was speechless as Peaches walked to the door. He opened it and stopped in the doorway. "I'm sorry, General."
Peaches walked down the halls of the GUN base with a sense of emptiness. How was he going to break this to the team? He was taking a lot worse than he thought he would. What was he going to do now that he had quit GUN? He needed something to calm his nerves.
He stopped in front of a soda machine and scanned the options. Almost instantly he was startled by his team. It seemed they had followed him from the General's office. Travis was the first to question him. "So how'd it go?" Peaches couldn't look him in the eyes, so he preoccupied himself by reaching into his back pocket, taking out his wallet, and removing some loose change he kept at all times. "More or less the same." He noticed that he voice sounded shaken. Michael limped closer to try and get a look at his face. "Something wrong?" Peaches looked down at him, Michael being the shortest one of the team, "No, no. Nothings wrong." Kiwi's narrowed his eyes, "You said 'no' twice. You never do that." Kiwi, though not viewed as the most intelligent person, was Peaches best friend and knew him better than anyone else.
Peaches could tell they knew something was wrong. He turned to face them, "Alright! I quit... Happy?" He turned back around and put two quarters into the machine. Peaches could hear Randy chuckle from behind him. "Your joking, right?" There was an awkward silence. Peaches let out a deep sigh, "I just can't handle it anymore. If they want a Captain who follows stupid orders to his... or her death, then they can look elsewhere." Kiwi grabbed Peaches shoulder. "But we're not a team without you."
Peaches looked at him, "We'll always be a team... We just don't work together anymore." He punched a button on the machine and retrieved his canned drink. He turned and headed down the hall, "I guess I'll catch you guys later."

Mariah Blackweller sat in her dressing room fixing her make-up in the mirror. As she was about to put on her lipstick, her cell phone lying on the table rang. She waited a moment before picking it up and answering it in one swift motion. "Hello.", she said in a sweet tone. The voice on the other end was dark and raspy. "Hello. I'm looking for the Nickels and Dimes thrift store." She knew what this meant. "This is the manager" "I'd like to have a look at your wares."
"How much are you paying?"
"I'm willing to pay 3 million dollars. His name is William Balsid. He goes by the codename 'Peaches'. He's currently an operative for GUN."
OOC:For some reason it looks like some of the text looks different. Maybe its just me, but let me know if you notice anything.
OOC: Yeah, it looks like the text got squeezed togeather somehow. Odd. Nothing IC to add just yet. Waiting for others to post first.
OOC: You actually used the code Peaches? I thought for sure you would have forgot by the time you posted! Just kidding! Really awesome intro! Your character seems very well developed, curious as how he will fit into the story though, but you and your awesomeness will definately find away!
IC:Soleanna City Streets
"I'm so sorry for my lack of good character!" Melven said at once giving a bow to the young Reni first and then Ruby, "The hospitol is just down this road to the left! However I really wouldn't reccomend us moving the poor guy ourselves!" Melven pulled out a cellular phone, "Please allow me to call an ambulance, Sonic looks gravely ill, and I'm afraid that we may make it worse if we try to do things ourselves." The weapons expert dialed the number, "Yes hello," he nodded at Reni to place Sonic back on the gound, "Please." he said towards Reni.
Lost Kingdom Ruins
"Balsid?" Mariah said outloud, "Where have I heard that name before?"
"Does it matter?" the voice came through, "You've been offered an assignment do you accept or not?"
"3 Million berries does seem awefully tempting," Mariah leaned back in her chair and lit up a long thing cigarette she had laying on her dresser, "Tell me, how hard is it to find this William "Peaches" Balsid? Also tell me when do you expect this task to be accomplished?"
Mariah grinned, 3 million was the second largest sum of money she had ever been offered for an assignment. Whoever she was after must have done something to piss someone off majorly.
'Is it Eggman offering the hit?' she thought ot herself, 'Nah' It can't be! Melvey is no longer lining his pockets so I doubt Eggy really has that much money to throw around. This is most intrigueing!"
Mariah leaned back further and awaited the mysterious caller's response.
"His current residence is in Soleanna. Though I doubt he'll be there, you should still check. I expect him to be dead as soon as possible. And if its too much to ask, keep it clean. He deserves that much. I'll contact you after its done. But whatever you do, do not underestimate him. He more than just another grunt for GUN." The figure hung up the phone and placed it down on his desk.
The room was dimly lit by a single light. Four figures stood in the middle of the room, only silhouettes. One of them, towering over the other, spoke, "Hey, boss, how come you don't just let us do it?" The figure behind the desk leaned back in his chair. "As I said, I want it clean. If I sent one of you, it look like a slaughter house. Don't worry though, I have a job for you." He placed a large envelope on the desk. "Here's all the information you'll need. And try not to completely destroy them."
OOC: Don't worry, I'll find a way to get him in the storyline.... Somehow.

Serenity gulped and complied, gently setting her father back down. She remained protectively by his side however.
"Please hurry, though..." She mumbled, looking worriedly from her father's prone form toward the human and back.

Melven smiled at Reni then spoke into the speaker of his cell, "We have an emergency down here! Um...male, blue hedgehog..." Melven started to get a little bit agitated, "It's Sonic ma'am! Sonic the Hedgehog! He's near death down here!" he paused, "Not far 'bout 3 blocks!" He began to look around his surroundings, "Right next to Kilton's barber shop!" another pause, "Hell I don't know the address! We're on Hideaway Street just get over here!"
Melven slammed his phone shut and walked over to Sonic ignoreing the evil looks Rouge was giving him. Tails and Knuckles just stood there watching the man curiously. Melven pulled off his jacket and balled it up. He placed a hand behind Sonic's head, lifted it up, and slid the jacket underneath!
"There that should make him just a little bit more comfortable." he then looked over at Tails and Knuckles as sirens began to wail in the background, "Any idea what caused this?"

Mariah placed her hone into her desginer purse and smiled. "Well then looks like we get some excitement for our boring little lives!" She stood and began to powder her face, the young actress believed that only she could put on her make up the way it was met to be, "Oh! I have to get through the day before I can even begin my research on this guy! GAWD!"
Three knocks came from the outside of her dressing room.
"Well then lets make this quick!" She said with a cheerful smile as she began to begin her long movie star day!
IC:The GUN jeep came to a screeching halt in front of a large building in Soleanna. Peaches was in the passenger seat, a private was driving, a grin across his face. Peaches was now wearing an open black flannel shirt with flames on it over his tank top and a pair a loose jeans. He looked over at the private, a pair of oval sunglasses over his eyes "Not bad, but you wanna watch it on those turns. You almost hit a fire hydrant about a block back." He jumped out of the car and retrieved a large duffel bag from the back seat. "Watch out for civilians on your way back." At that, the jeep sped off into the distance, the private waving to the former captain as he drove away.
The building had a total of six apartments in it. GUN had purchased one for him after his last home was assaulted by terrorists(he wasn't there at the time). He was about to scale the stairs mounted on the side of the building, when a sound reached his ears. It was a siren. He looked in the direction just in time to see an ambulance speed by him. The driver braked and maneuvered the large vehicle around a corner. Struck by curiosity, Peaches walked down the street and peered down the street the ambulance had gone down. Not too far away was a group, most of them furries, huddled together. The ambulance stopped next to them and the paramedics jumped out.
Peaches jogged toward the group to find out what had happened.
OOC:What is wrong with my posts!? The text always looks messed up. I may edit this...again, to add interaction.
OOC: I really like the way you've described you character Peaches... very creative. Pretty good style, I must say. ^^

Soleanna
Ruby sighed in relief when the man and bat finally halted their arguing to rectify the situation; a nod of satisfaction was given as the ambulance screeched to a halt mere feet away not long after Melven's call. The badge she had shown to Rouge was already safely tucked away in her pocket to shield it and her status from prying eyes. Unfortunately, the fox could feel the gleaming eyes of the voluptuous GUN agent glaring at her, still smarting from the retort she had given....
She ignored it.
When the paramedics began loading Sonic onto a stretcher, Ruby saw Reni glance back and forth to her father, Tails, Knuckles, and herself with painful indecision. She placed her hand on the violet hedgehog's shoulder and murmured, "Go. Ride with your dad in the ambulance. We'll be there as soon as possible, okay? We will fix this."
Reni nodded, smiling gratefully before rushing after the paramedics and her prone father. Turning to Tails and Knuckles, Ruby cleared her throat. They looked at her with both anguish and frustration, a certain helplessness pervading their eyes. The vixen made a gesture to a small silver car not too far down the road.
"We can take my car to the hospital, okay?" She asked. Knuckles eyed her a bit skeptically.
"Why should we trust you all of a sudden? You're a government agent! And just how do you know Serenity?" His tone was quiet with concern for his blue friend but still held a certain stubbornness that made Ruby roll her eyes. Men.
"Do we really have the time for this right now? I don't know about you but I'm not letting Reni go through this alone... I'm going to that hospital, whether you like it or not. So you can get there faster and with less fanfare if you ride with me, or you can end up getting cornered by reporters down on mainstreet. Your choice." Ruby narrowed her eyes at the echidna, totally not ready to deal with this at the moment. Her vacation had been interrupted, and now her old friend needed some help. Now was not the time to be distrustful!
Knuckles reciprocated her gesture; his violet eyes narrowed as he pursed his lips in thought. Tails, his dual appendages twirling restlessly, suddenly grabbed his friend's arm and said in an anxious voice: "Please, Knuckles, she's right. We don't have the time for this." He paused, blue eyes looking at Ruby seriously. "And if Serenity trusts her, then that's enough for me."
The echidna sighed and said, "Yeah, yeah. Okay. Let's go then." He pinned Ruby with an intense stare, "But you're still not off the hook yet, fox."
Ruby smirked. "Name's Ruby. And by the way, I'm not a government agent. Not like the ones you think of anyways..."
White Acropolis
"There!"
The triumphant shout of one Sasha Vikenti was followed by a long, drawn out whistle of awe from his captain. Both canines had followed the husky-jackal's acute sense of smell and hearing to locate the 'avalanche' he had detected earlier, only to find it a bit different from what they expected. In fact, it wasn't really an avalanche at all.
"Damn, kid... Some avalanche," Vlad remarked, lifting the shaded goggles from his eyes to better peer at the anomaly they had found.
Sasha had to agree.
A few yards in front of them lay not a giant pile of felled snow from the mountains, but a large, gaping hole in the ground. It appeared as if some sort of 'cave-in' had occurred; the snow on the ground was heaped in a downward motion toward the huge void, and the occasional chunk of ice was still tumbling down the incline. Both canines eyed the occurrence warily, not willing to get too close unless they fell in.
Some avalanche, indeed.
Vlad whistled once more as he walked the perimeter of the hole, directing his charge to go in the other direction and meet him on the other side of the oblong-shaped anomaly. Watching the young hybrid with one violet eye, he let his other eye carefully scrutinize the ground around the collapse. It only took him a few moments to spot something out of the ordinary.
He called Sasha over.
The young agent trotted obediently up to his mentor's side, eyeing the curious piece of twisted metal and circuits held in his gloved hand. "What... what is that, Vlad?"
Vlad frowned, chewing the stub of his cigarrette before answering. "This, Sasha, belongs to a machine. A very advanced machine." For in his hands the elder canine held the remains of what looked like a robotic arm, now that Sasha looked closer. The youth blinked.
"So, what does that mean?"
His mentor carelessly tossed the arm back to the snow-laden ground, then pulled out his cigarrette. Taking one last puff before putting the thing out, he said, rather needlessly, "It means that something strange is afoot.... and I need more cigarrettes. Dammit."
(OOC: I am SO sorry not to have gotten back to this before, however, my job saps my energy for RP. I WILL get back to this, hopefully soon...)
OOC: "....and I need more cigarrettes. Dammit."Just awesome.
IC: Peaches ran closer to the group just in time to see the paramedics load someone into the ambulance. It was Sonic the Hedgehog. Though GUN had a bad history with Sonic, Peaches and the rest of his team had never had any trouble coming from him or his actions.
As he approached, he noticed the man standing amongst the group. It was Melven Blackweller, famous weapons designer. The Reaper unit was sometimes called upon to test some of his weapons, even in the field during certain situations. He approached Melven with much enthusiasm. "Melven Blackweller?"
OOC:Yes its short. Hoping to get some interaction through, though.
HA HA! 4/20. Get it?
Hi guys,
Real REAL sorry I ain't posted for so long! Good excuse I have though. Got evicted from accommodation. But am somewhere better !!! Yay. But I am waiting for my broadband tobe activated. Dial up is way too painful.
Bare with me!!! And keepy uppy the awesome work
(OOC: Finally back to adding to this. Not sure if I have anything earth-shatteringly good right now but...I just HAVE to add something)
IC:
Serenity tried to control her impatience as she sat beside her father's stretcher in the ambulance, trying to be unobtrusive to the paramedics. Cant this thing go any faster? Id've been there by now if they'd just let me carry him... She thought for a minute. But then...I might have caused an unintended injury...I could never LIVE with myself if that happened...but...this ambulance is so dang SLOW! She fought the urge to get up and start pacing. I wonder if they'd let me get out and PUSH the ambulance faster...

(OOC: All I could think up. *shrug*)
IC:
"Melven Blackweller?" a voice came from behind the well known weapons specialist. Melven wtached the ambulance race off into the distance and turned to see who was calling his name.
"Um, please forgive me because I deal with alot of people in position so if we have I'm truely sorry, but do I now you?" he said then quickly replied to his own question, "Waitasecond. You're one of the Reapers, Yes? Ballad or Ballsik or somthing like that! Is there something I can help you with? I'm getting extremely late for a meeting I was supposed to be at oh like ten minutes ago!" Melven glanced over at the remaining crowd who didn't seeem to notice to new arival and continued to stare off in the distance at the ambulance!
OOC: Meh I've got nothing earth shattering either, but oh well!
It turned out that his hunch was right. Why Melven Blackweller was here, he had no idea."Well, I don't want to hold you up or anything, I was just wondering what was going on.", Peaches said. He had no idea of what had just happened, and anything interesting might just perk him up. Not that a dead Sonic the Hedgehog would perk him up, but maybe why he was being carted away in an ambulance?
OOC:HUGE DELAY. Sorry...
IC:
"I'll tell you what," Melven smiled at the newcomer as he turned and began to walk away from the group without even a mention of goodbye, "Come with me to this meeting, and I'll show you just what I'm cooking up! After all one of the top agents of GUN should be allowed to see the weapons of the future, besides if I'm not mistaken your group usually tests out my new toys before they go to the production lines! Melven looked back at the group who was still standing in an odd shaped semi-circle, "So will you join me at the GUN Developers of the Future meeting. With my clearence you should get in no problem!"
(OOC: This must NOT stagnate! I've been musing on what would happen if Reni were to meet Silver...and I'm STILL not sure! While --I-- like the character...he DID originally try to kill Blue. Reni wouldn't like that. So...what would her reaction to Silv be? I...don't exactly know. While that's not going to happen in THIS post...it MAY happen in the future if we can keep this thing alive.)
IC:
Serenity paced outside the hospital room agitatedly. She hated being left in the dark, especially when it came to a life or death situation...ESPECIALLY one involving her father. But...she didn't want to get in the doctors' way by stayng in the room...not to mention...She wasn't exactly ALLOWED in there when they were doing their...doctor...thing. Even though she WAS a princess...and could go in if she wanted because of that fact. She also didn't really LIKE throwing her royal weight around...though she would if she absolutely HAD to. Another thing...she wasn't sure she could handle the pressure of being in their while the doctors were doing thier healing. So it was probably better that she was left out here. But that didn't mean she had to LIKE the waiting...Ohhhh...that "Nasal" or watever his name was was going to PAY if anything happened to her father...

(OOC: Meh. All I've got. C'mon, let's not let this die!)
OOC: Hurr... so this RP didn't die from cardiac arrest or prolonged 'waiting game' haemorhage then? GREAT!
Speaking of which, passed exams with merit. Now I can come back to RPing guilt free.
But I have to catch up. Am outta the loop. Once again, pls bare with me :O
"Not sure about that, sir. I don't work for GUN anymore. But, I would like to see what you've cooked up this time, if you don't mind." He awaited an answer.
OOC: Not much else I can think of. Didn't mean to cause any delay. Kinda forgot about this.
(OOC: Is this still going? I'd like to continue if it is. Kinda forgot about the RP board for a while, but I'm back)
OOC: I'm still game, but I haven't seen Bentlee around lately!
