Hear it! I'm screaming it! You tremble at this sound...
[I would have been more original but that had flow >o>]


"One more?"The bartender asked.
"Sure.. why not.."Came the reply, from a gray fox in his mid thirties and certainty feeling that age and a bit more this evening. His red hair, which was usually tied back was ruffled and hung slopply over his shoulders, as his elbow rested on the bar counter. He'd been here... uh, a while now. He wasn't one for drinking too much too quickly or even too often, but when things started going wrong then he easily enough fell into an old habit he had kicked long ago.

The bartender handed him another drink and he passed over a few more rings/currency, sipping the drink slowly as he gazed about absently mindly. He'd just got back from a two week mission and one which left him with a good few injuries here and there. Most of them had healed up enough for him to train moderately in the week it took to return. Why a week you might ask? Ambushed.
He was on the train on the way back to the city to meet his clinet who'd pay him when he arrived when someone attacked the carriage he was on. To his annoyance the people who were in the carriage had also been injured and three killed. For his sake. The thought of it pursauded him to drink a good bit more. On top of that when he tried to conntact the clinet, as he expected they weren't going to pay because of the event and such like.

Thus the mission was an absolute burning failure, much like his own life up to this point.

The colours... spinning... and then... Emerl woke up?
Self-check...
Emerl tried to remember why he was here. He slowly pulled out a memory of what happened years ago... Sonic. Sonic had been forced to destroy him after Eggman drove him insane. Could he connect that to why he was here?
Then more memories. His spirit... That event fused Emerl with the Chaos Emeralds. His spirit had lived on. Eggman had tried to use that spirit in yet another plan, but he was stopped, again, by Sonic. Emerl should know; he had been brutally transformed into Eggman's renedition of him: Gemerl. But those times were over, and the world was safe. Again.
Emerl didn't know anything of what had happened since then. Wait... no, one more memory. The Chaos Emeralds had faded, and the world seemed... troubled. Fortunately for everyone, their power had been rekindled, one by one, presumably again by Sonic.

This recollection proved to be too much for Emerl, and his body fell limp again.

Reji looked as his watch, staring at it for a few moments, trying to make his eyes focus on the digital display.
11.30pm. Not too late, he decided at first, then remembered, Wolfgang. He sighed, knowing he'd left the kid red-panda with some pals for 3 weeks now and only called quickly to say he was going out for a bit. He was sure the kid knew what his plans were, he was a bright kid after all, but he mostly worried those pals of his were fully trustworthy. Bribed with the right materials they could be ever so fickle and unreliable.

Course, all this came through his mind in slowly and fuzzily. Pushing the now empty glass back to the bartender, he nodded to him, got to his feet and more or less walked straight to the door of the club. It wasn't too busy, being a Thursday night, but he still had a few people to avoid and such.
He stepped out into a crisp mild night, the stars visable though a few large clouds moved dreamily across the sky. He moved the neck of his coat up to keep the light breeze off and started down the street to the housing esate where he'd left Wolfgang, over an hour's walk away.

[If it suits Wolfgang can become a potential device.]

Self-check...
Emerl remembered that he had been awake just before in the same place, and had recollected most of what had happened that he could remember.
Judging from the locations of the stars, he'd been unconscious for about an hour.
He felt like he was missing something. What Emerl had remembered didn't explain anything. Why was he here? What was his purpose? Did he have a Link?
He could feel his power gradually fading. The Chaos Emeralds... he didn't have any of them. Without at least one or two, he would be nothing but a mass of scrap metal. The world was slowly fading, and he couldn't stop it.
But how was he awake in the first place? Without the Chaos Emeralds, he should never have been able to remember what he had. Whatever the reason, he knew it would be a bad idea to let this chance slip by him. But how could he take it?
As his consciousness slowly subsided, it was replaced by a throbbing urge. The urge to move. He started to follow it, slowly. That was when the thought hit him. All the skills Emerl had collected... they were gone. He would have to start afresh. At least following the thought taking over his mind seemed to keep him conscious.

Reji continued on his slow amble down the road, knowing well he couldn't drive. He had left his car down in the car park, but he'd gotten a fair few tickets over the years and his mind was stable enough to know he could easily crash and stable enough to know he'd hate himself even more if something happened to someone else.

Thus he walked. It was good for clearing the mind after drowning it and in an attempt to run away from problems, he often felt he could now think about things a little better. He didn't have much choice, he had to think while he walked, had to remember and had to face the problems.

He tried to think of who might have caused that attack. It could have been the clinet, trying to worm their way out of payment. It could have been the guys he'd taken down on the job looking for revenge.

His vision clouded, Emerl could barely see where he was going. The pull just slowly pulled him along. In the meantime, what was left of his consciousness tried to puzzle out what was happening and what the pull could be. The fact that he seemed to gradually become stronger the closer he got seemed to imply that it was a Chaos Emerald. But if it was, how could he get to it? He didn't remember this happening from such a long distance last time. So, was it instead...-

Emerl's mind went blank as he realised that there was nothing to continue that chain of thought with. But if there really wasn't, then why did he start saying that? Was there something else he couldn't remember? Unable to connect any of his thoughts, he was resigned to simply keep moving.

Eventually, Reji got the the house. He looked to his watch, it was already half two now, but he was sure his friends would be up, in fact he knew they were. He could see the living room lights on, the window slightly open and quite a lot of noise coming from within. He'd have to make it up to Wolfgang over all this... somehow...he tried to think of something.. his thoughts... not quiet.. ugh, no.
He rang the door bell and waited, but clearly no one heard. He tried a few times more until eventuall a red fox came to the door and welcomed him in. The house smelt like smoke and drink and the hung misty. A horrid place really and one completly unsuited to kids.

"So where's... uh, Wooolfie?"Reji asked once introduced to the group in the living room. The red fox froze, "Well uhm... uh... how should I.. uhm.."He started, looking sheepish and unsure. Reji looked up straight in the eyes, serious and cold. "Straight to the point I guess. I lost him a few days back.. about eight days ago I think."He admitted, "I thought about calling the police and all.. but your kinda iffy about all that so.." Reji nodded slowly, letting the thoughts go around his mind and settle. There was moderate silence in the room for a few moments while Reji stood stationary, thinking. He'd done a lot of that the past few hours. He sighed eventually, looking up to the red fox,
"Would it be okay with you if I hung out here for a bit? My mind's utterly wrecked."He asked, the fox nodding eagerly in reply, glad and relived that Reji wasn't going to leave his body utterly wrecked. Reji nodded again slowly, then walked to the back of the room, taking a seat while the chatter amoung the friends started up again. He sat by the window, looking out, trying to let his mind rest so he could focus soon and figure out what had happened to Wolfie.

As Emerl slowly made his way to the source of the pulling force, his strength slowly returned to him. As the force became stronger, Emerl did as well. It wasn't long before he could really make sense of his surroundings again. It was the middle of the night, but he adapted quickly. There wasn't anything new for him to think about, so he just walked. If he had his skills, he would have just been able to run as fast as Sonic, but he suspected that he lost them in their final battle.

Even with his regained strength, this force wasn't nearly enough to have him actually achieve anything meaningful other than walk and think.
Eventually this meant that he reached an impasse, in the means of a door. Attempting to recall his time spent with Sonic, he seemed to remember that the general method was to pull the handle open and walk in. If anyone was inside, a greeting would then be issued.
So that's just what he did. Mustering the strength to pull his arm up to grab the door handle, he pulled it down, opened the door, and walked in. The first thing he noticed was that the room was very brightly lit. Shielding his eyes as he waited for them to adapt to the new circumstances, he realised that the source of the pull must be somewhere within the premises. As he opened his eyes again, he realised that the room was occupied, and that the occupants were staring at him. One in particular stood out because of his deep crimson hair, and the fact that the pull seemed to be coming from near him. He remembered that he had to say a greeting, but the words wouldn't come to his mouth. Eventually he stammered out the one word he could think of:
"..."

[I'll assume the house is the one that Reji is at, if it's not I'll edit =)]

Reji noticed an odd looking character walking along the path, quite slowly but seemingly with direction and a goal. With the angle he was at he didn't see where he went once he was out of Reji's immidate field of vision and thus that the character had gone to the front door. The loud chatter and laughing of the group continued, then like dominoes they fell silent. Curious, Reji looked around and saw what looked a lot like the fellow he'd seen outside was now inside.

His mind tried to comprehend what he was seeing. It looked like a robot, a brown or maybe even rusting one. It didn't seem to do much once it entered the room, but he did seem to be attempting to speak. The attempt failed and whatever the message was, it was lost. Usually, upon sighting something like this robot, Reji would immeditally take out his weapons, take a defesnive stance and prepare for a fight... though given the condition of his mind this early morning he just did like the rest of the group and starred silently.

((Your assumption is right. Also, anything in italics is my direct thoughts, IC))

That... did not go well. Let's see, everyone's staring at me, there's probably a Chaos Emerald here somewhere, and I can't think of anything to say.
"... ... ..."
I didn't just say that. At least, I didn't think I did. It just happened? Wait, NO. NO. N-
"... ... ..."
-O. NO. NO. NO. Well, at least this confirms a f-
"... ... ..."
-ew things. I don't have a Link yet, but this is apparently causing me to revert to my original programming. Well, I am going to need a Chaos Emerald at some point. Hopefully I don't have to get de-
"Show... ... power... OR I sh...all ob...ey..."
-stroyed again. Things could go so wrong, and I'm not getting a choice here. Look, I'm supposed to be on a mission here, and-
"Sha...ll conqu...r a...ll..."
...wait. I don't remember being on a mission. This just gets more and more confusing. Do I have control again over my speech yet?
"..."
Nope. Well, maybe they won't decide to kill me. Maybe. Those stares are getting very intense...

Reji's look of confusion deepened as the robot began to speak. What did it mean? Show what power, obey who.. and how on earth did it think it could conquer all when he, Reji, was still in the world and while it could barley even say one simple sentence.
He pulled out two white metal cards which had X crosses of sliver steel across them. He flipped the cards in his hands and they changed into two guns. He pointed both in the direction of the robot, or at least it's general direction; his aim and general vision was a little blurred and wavy, but ocassionally the guns were pointed at the robot.
"Explain y-yourself.."Reji muttered, his eyes though uncorindated still had that crimson flame of passion and annoyance.

Oh dear. Not having control of my actions right now is definitely NOT a good thing when he's pointing two guns at me. Well, in my general direction. What am I supposed to do, hope he misses? Ugh, I need the Chaos Emerald or whatever's in here before I'm going to be able to do anything.
"... ... ..."
...he'd better miss. Preferably breaking something else here in the process, which should count as "showing his power"...

Reji narrowed his eyes at the robot, "Come on, spit it out. Whoo are you with and was ist it that you want?"He asked, keeping his eyes more or less on the robot's. He was a little surprised that there was such little reaction from it from his actions, almost like it wasn't quite working correctly.

And he's not doing anything. Typical. Some people can't catch a break...
It was at this point where the original programming timed out, and Emerl fell to the ground.
...I never realised it did that. Hopefully I wake up again soon. Hopefully he won't ki-
Emerl's consciousness faded again, and he had no idea what would happen to him.

Reji looked utterly dumbfounded, much like the others in the room. The robot walked in, made a declaration of attack and then broke. So much for modern technology. Unreliable trash. He walked up the robot, still on guard, poking it a little to see if it reacted.

.... nothing. He looked about to the others,"Any ideas?"
They shrugged, most turning back to their card game. The owner of the apartment offered an a solution, "Throw it out."He suggested, shrugging and going back to the kitchen to get himself a drink. Reji sighed, pulling the thing out into the hall, resting it against the wall by the door. If his mind was working a little better he could probably reprogram it and get it working in some way. Leaning against the wall across from the robot, he struggled to stay awake, eventually drifting off into a sleep.
