“I don’t know…” Gerald replied figitivly, “I don’t think it would be such a good idea to break in for this. I mean, after all, what if we got caught? That blathering idiot may take the shard and use it improperly!”

There was more than just that though he didn’t say. He wasn’t like Chadin or even Vanessa. He may have a good right hook but he was in no shape to actually fight his way through anything. Not to mention he was deeply considered with the idea that this Robotnik fellow getting his hands on any shards. He knew bad things would come from ill use. When Gerald heard Chadin ask, he smiled a little.

“Simple. When I was coming close to you with the shard in hand you and the shard reacted. You see, someone good at heart will feel the energy coming from the shard; and usually it feels very warm and makes you feel, well happy. See for yourself.”

He held the shard out to Chadin, expecting him to hold onto it.

With my ears folded back against my skull, a telltale sign of nervousness or apprehension for my species, I reached out for the shard in Gerald's hand. As he said, I could start to feel a warm glow building up along my arm, starting at my very hoof-tips. It was a very strange sensation since I hadn't even touched the shard yet, but as soon as I did, my markings lit up like a Christmas tree.

I don't know if I could say I felt happy... but rather somehow strangely... contented. "It's weird... before, the only way these powers seemed to emerge was when I was either really scared or angry... And I never used to be able to do this before at all. Why can I even do this now? Why is it my scars light up like this?"

"I wonder what I should eat first back in the city." Vanessa said to herself. She was already contemplating all the wonderful food she would get to eat when they went back to do what ever they where talking about.

"Hey guys what should I eat?"

Gerald simply shook his head at Vanessa’s reaction, before looking towards Chadin.

“….It is possible that when the emeralds shattered that it affected you; and possible others to be able to use the emeralds powers easier. And that those scars were created or affected by the phenomenon. I will advise though for you to not use these powers whenever you are scared or angry. Those are very negative thoughts, and negative energy is never safe. There are possibilities the energy will take hold of you and you will do things you may not forgive yourself.”

He gave a short sigh as he closed his eyes, rubbing the back of his neck. “It is strange and…hard to explain, but you could say the energy is a sentient being. The Chaos Emeralds seem to have a mind of it’s own at times, and so do the energies themselves. If you were to make a machine and give it the emeralds to keep it’s self powered, you’d be amazed at how long the energy will keep it going. But, if it starts to use too much….the machine will go out of control. It begins to have a mind of its own, and its mind is only on destruction.”

He looked back towards Chadin with a slight smile on his face. “So, it’d be a good idea to keep the shard on you to prevent that, no? If the shard can help you use positive thoughts to use these powers easily then it’d be the best thing to do; until you can figure out how to summon these powers without the use of it and negative thoughts. Negative emotions are easy to procure while positive emotions are sometimes hard. But there’s always a bad consequence for acting upon negative emotions…”

"Well, these scars came before the merge. I know exactly where they came from..." Unconsciously, my hand drifted up to the plate on the back of my neck and my ears folded back nervously as my thoughts drifted back to that moment.

I was fascinated, and a little worried about what Gerald had to tell me about these Chaos emeralds. For one thing, I knew I had a lot of built up anger, especially towards Robotnik for everything that he has done to me personally. It was going to be tricky learning to control those emotion.

"I'll try to be careful not to use negative thoughts. I already know what it's like to lose control of yourself." Entirely different circumstances, but still. The idea that these new powers could drive me to some kind of state similar to when I was under Robotnik's mind control left me absolutely terrified. A few minutes ago I was excited by the prospects of using these new found powers against Robotnik. But now, I was fearful I might lose my mind the same way Robotnik had done to me once before. Suddenly I didn't want these powers at all.

And that sentiment showed through on my face. My ears were folded back and my mouth hung in a fearful gape as I stared nervously at the shard in my hand.

"C'mon Glow-face, if tha thing bothers you that much, I'll take it!" Being her usual self, the crass cat snatched the shard from Chadin's hoofed hand. "And don't cha worry about anything, if yer ever think yah losing control, I'll beat the ever livin' tar out of yah to get yah back right." The cat made a muscle with her right arm, flexing her well developed yet lean bicep. Showing she had what it would take to back her words up. "What are big sis' for if not to keep their lil' bro's in line? So I'll tell you this, run wild if you have to. Some times yah just gotta break some stuff to vent, yah know what I mean?" She grabbed Chadin around the shoulder again pulling him close. "So do what ya have to and know I'll always be here, ready to kick yer kiester back in ta shape!" Vanessa was trying to lend Chadin some moral support, letting him know no matter what he did or had done, she'd always have his back.

“Vanessa, what I’m talking about is much more then just anger needing to be vented.” Gerald began, showing a hint of annoyance. Most likely because she still didn’t understand what he was talking about and the fact this had to be taken seriously. Or at least he felt like it. And then it suddenly struck him that he didn’t know anything at all at what he spurred out. It practically sandbagged him in the face as he felt and overwhelming headache come over him. He clutched his head with his right arm in pain as he felt surprisingly light headed.

He seemingly knew everything except the reasons –how- he knew. Why is it that this information is suddenly in his head? How does he know so much about these things with theories constantly going over in his head in a rush without knowing how he found this information out? It seemed…unlikely that the emeralds would be able to just grant him this knowledge, but he couldn’t see any other reason. Seeing Chadins reactions, he sighed.

“You shouldn’t worry to much. Things like this are always like double-edged blades. Just think positively about it. It’s the best thing you can do. Rest assured, your not the only one with problems…” he replied, rubbing the side of his head as it throbbed in pain.

I didn't have to be a scientist to notice Gerald's plight. "You okay?"

Relic Drake · 03-17-2011, 01:00 PM

"Bah you guys worry to much, lets get some snack!" Vanessa was getting hungry just thinking about all the city food she would get to eat.

Gerald Robotnik · 03-18-2011, 04:04 AM

“It’s…nothing to be concerned with.” He started off, still feeling the throbbing in his head, “Just a headache. Get them all the time. So, now, what will we being doing and when?”

He had a feeling he knew the answer, but he wanted to make sure. Sneaking into the lions den didn’t sound like a very good idea to him. But if it was the only way for him to get to a computer to try and find the shards then he was just going to deal with it. They needed to know where to start, the quicker they got to the shards the better.
