Roguishly Possessed- Part Four

Chapter Four- Flashback and fights

"You remember what happened last night?" Starr stuttered (Gosh, that didn't sound right…) Jet nodded, his face looked horrified.

"It was awful," he said quietly. Shadow frowned.

"Well, instead of talking ABOUT it, why don't you tell us WHAT HAPPENED," he snapped.

"Okay," Jet started, "Flashback…" (copyright Sonic Riders in 3 minutes)

"Why'd you say 'Flashback'?" Windy asked.

"…for dramatic effect," Jet whispered sinisterly.

Anyway… (Jet's POV from here until you see the words 'End of Flashback")

(This is starting from where we left off at the Babylonian Temple)

The Babylon Guardian laughed after I made that remark about Starr being widely known as the "Banished Rogue," and then said these weird words (assuming that was Babylonian he was speaking) and shot these weird waves (not the swallow) right from his fingertips. The waves hit Starr in the forehead and that's where everything got scary. Suddenly, Starr started screaming in pain and holding her head really hard like it was splitting. I choked down a sob (I'm a man darnit!) and closed my eyes. It's not like I wanted to watch her like that! I finally opened my eyes painfully and looked over at Wave.

"Why are you doing this, Wave?" I asked her, "What did Starr ever do to you?"

"Yeah, I wanted your cute little girlfriend instead but according to Tubby (Babylon Guardian) over there, 'she's the future of Babylon Garden…'" Wave explained.

"Then you know who she is?" I said knowing that we all knew Princess Windy.

"Um… nope, don't know don't care," she said. I think she noticed me painfully wince when Starr yelped again. "You wanna know what's going on with her?"

"No!" I yelled. I mean, why the heck would I want to know? My sister was in a great deal of pain, that's all I needed to know! Course, Wave doesn't like to listen to me any more than I like listening to her, so she told me anyway.

"Those currents are messing around with her brainwaves-," she started.

"Hee hee, you said 'brainwaves'," Storm interrupted, "And your name is Wave…"

"Zip it," she hissed and pushed him away. Then she continued babbling, "and they're making her believe-" but all I heard after that was a bunch of high-pitched squeaking like someone hit the fast forward button. It was entertaining to watch though, it looked like she was trying to perform some sort of disco…

(Flashback pauses)

"Get on with it, Jet!"

"Fine, fine…"

(Flashback resumes)

After she was done gibbering, I noticed something that made my heart practically stop: It was very quiet. I looked over to where Starr was, and I saw her weakly kneeling on the floor holding her head tightly still, and then she just collapsed and went motionless. I don't know how I did this but I somehow got out of the ropes that were binding my hands and feet. I ran to her and shook her gently.

"Starr? Wake up. Oh, gosh, wake up!" I screamed. She wasn't waking up. Wave came over to where we were and just smirked. I couldn't believe her! I glared at her angrily and stood up.

"Think of this as a learning experience for the next time you leave the place you belong," she said. What the schnitzel would SHE know about where I belong? So I waterbended her into the wall.

"I KNOW WHERE I BELONG!" I yelled, "WITH MY SISTER! AND THE REST OF OUR FRIENDS!" Wave just blinked.

"How did you learn how to Waterbend?" she stammered.

"Some bald kid taught me, not that difficult, really," I said. Then Aang the Avatar came out of oblivion and waved at us and said, "hi." And then flew off on Appa the flying bison… the author was going "Avatar the Last Airbender" crazy I guess…

"Okay…?" Wave said. Then I heard faint groaning. I looked over and saw Starr slowly getting up, like she had a headache.

"Starr?" I said, "Starr, c'mon, we need to get out of here!" She stirred a little, grunted and then grabbed me by my arm and threw me to the floor, REAL HARD!

"OW! Hey! Starr, what was that for?" I screamed. Starr just stared at me with cold red eyes.

"Isn't it neat, Jet?" she asked, "it actually looks like Starr's doing everything."

"What?" Then I looked at Wave, who was standing the same way Starr was.

"Get it now?" they said at the same time. I became outraged.

"WAVE, I HATE YOU! I DON'T KNOW HOW I EVER BEFRIENDED SUCH A FLOOZY LIKE YOU!" I yelled. She looked upset and then also became angry. Then she had Starr grab me and hold my hands behind my back.

"I'm sorry, Jet," Wave and Starr said, "but if that's how it is, this is how it goes; whether you like it or not." Then Starr pushed me to the Babylon Guardian and… that's it…End of Flashback.

"Wow…" Starr stammered, "THAT happened?" Jet nodded.

"You said THAT to Wave?" Windy asked. Jet nodded.

"DARTH VADER IS LUKE'S FATHER?" Knuckles yelped. Jet looked at him funny and merely nodded.

"It was really freaky," Jet sighed, "And the way Starr had acted is now permanently melded into my mind. And her screaming is STILL after… what time is it?"

Sonic glanced at his watch and said, "Twelve."

"Thanks. –STILL after twelve hours ringing in my ears!" Jet yelled. Starr gave Jet a hug. (I want a hug too! …will you hug me Sonic-Boom?

Sonic-Boom: Surrre… (hugs bloomacncheez)

bloomacncheez: OUCH! POKIES! THAT HURT!

Sonic-Boom: Duh, I'm a hedgehog, what did you expect? Now go play with your Pancakes and Pickles.

bloomacncheez: Dokay…)

Anyway…

"I'm okay now though…" she said. Jet hugged her a little.

"It must've been rough to have to experience that…" Windy said quietly.

"It was," Jet sighed, "She's the closest family I have…" Bean coughed loudly. Jet looked to his cousin who was tapping his foot impatiently and waiting for Jet to correct himself. "…besides you…" Jet snarled through clenched teeth (the heck? He's a hawk!), aggravated with Bean for ruining the moment… I do that a lot… … … (awkward silence) … … … … I CAN'T HEAR SILENCE! (gets shot with a sleeping dart by Sonic-Boom) Zzzz…

Resuming…

Chaoina sniffed back a cry. Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. Chris walked towards the door.

"Who could that be?" he asked.

"I don't know," Charmy said. Vector smacked him over the head.

"Would you quit answering rhetorical questions? You did it twice in 'Wish Upon A Starr!'," he snapped. Chris opened the door only to welcome in a loud, unpleasant squawk that happened to belong to a certain purple swallow waving (hint hint) a large wrench in her hands, followed by a familiar grey albatross who was eating a monarch butterfly.

"AAAH!" Rayne the Butterfly shrieked.

"You're supposed to make your debut in a future fic!" I yelled, "Thanks a lot, book worm!"

"You're welcome… but I prefer the term 'caterpillar,'" she insisted. This is when I shoved her out of the room.

"ALRIGHT, IF HE'S NOT GONNA TAKE CARE OF IT WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT OURSELVES!" Wave howled. Chris screamed and retreated to the kitchen, where he placed a colander on his head and armed himself with a whisk.

"YUM! WOW THAT WAS ONE TASTY BUTTERFLY!" Storm exclaimed, "UH-OH!"

"Aw… don't tell me," Wave mumbled. Storm nodded.

"My screaming has returned," he said. Wave glared at him.

"You moron…" she hissed. Jet stood in front of Starr and Windy and drew his Bansho fans out.

"What are you two doing here?" he bellowed. Wave wasn't patient with him this time.

"I'M TAKING CARE OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!" she screeched, "NOW WHERE'S YOUR PRETTY LITTLE GIRLFRIEND?" Windy hid quietly behind Jet. Jet stepped closer to Wave, readying his Bansho fans.

"Back off!" he barked. Wave pushed him back.

"YOU back off!" she snapped.

"Make me!" Jet screamed swinging a fan at her, which she deflected with her wrench.

"FINE!" she squawked. Storm cracked his knuckles. Knuckles gulped when I typed the previous sentence.

"No way!" Starr interrupted pulling her boomerang out, "I'm sick of you two, so if my brother's in this fight then it should be two-against-two."

And just as the four began… COMMERCIAL BREAK OCCURRED!

Sonic-Boom: What? This is a story! Not a TV show!

BMNC: And your point?

Sonic-Boom: Whatever… (walks off)

Sorry, I don't like those stupid life insurance and mattress commercials so I added this one instead.

"RANCH!" screamed the ranch tooth.

"Augh! It's alive! Run children run!"

"AAH!"

(the screen starts fizzing)

"Your television is about to explode," said the male announcer.

KABOOM!

"How'd he know it was going to do that?" one lady asked.

"Just an educated guess," the announcer replied. (Copyright from Monty Python) "Now back to our regularly scheduled program." (This commercial is also included in one of my other fics…)

And just as the four began… they all dropped their weapons and started a girly slap fest.

"This is just pathetic…" Sonic sighed.

"Didn't Babylon Rogues create Extreme Gear, have superior knowledge, or something?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah well, Storm could easily disprove that," Knuckles said. Windy heaved an exasperated sigh.

"Hello? What about me? I'm smart!" she asked.

"Yeah, I am too! What about me?" Vortex the Parrot snapped coming from JuniperLeeAmiYumi's stories (permission granted by JLAY.)

"YET ANOTHER DEBUT RUINED! GO BACK TO JLAY'S STORIES!" I screamed, getting irritated with all the fan-characters for making unwanted debuts. As I said this, Sparkle the Peacock, Landon the Monkey, Axel the Squirrel, Mandy the Beaver, Ace the Ti- wait, GET OUT! ALL OF YOU!

"I just wanted some stinkin' coffee!" Axel argued. Shadow snatched the coffee pot and hissed at Axel like an angry cat.

"MINE!" he hissed. So eventually I shoved all fan-characters out.

"Hey…? Where's Starr?" Jet asked.

"And Windy…?" Sonic said. Oh, right. Then I brought back Starr and Windy.

Continuing again…

"Stop it!" Windy howled, "All of you just STOP!" Wave swung her wrench at Windy, just missing.

"You…" she snarled. Windy stood her ground.

"No, I'm not fighting you, Wave. We don't have to eliminate the other just because we both share a passion for Jet." Wave jumped after Windy, who backed off a little. "We should back her up," Starr said to Jet. Jet nodded, but as the two started to walk off, Storm grabbed them by the arms- er- wings rather…

"You just think you're oh so special DON'T you?" Wave snapped. Windy frowned.

"I do believe that," Windy hissed, "Everyone is somewhere inside, even you." Wave swung her wrench again. Windy dodged it and grew angrier. "Would you just listen to me?" she screamed pulling out a red amulet. But no one got a chance to see what it did because Wave swung again… and this time Windy wasn't ready for it... Jet and Starr yelped and everyone else winced and went, "Ooh, ouch…" (stupid other people…)

"Look," Windy stuttered, brushing her feathers out of her face, "I don't think you remember me, but I remember you, I remember everyone."

"How could you possibly know me?" Wave hissed. Windy sighed calmly.

"Because…" she started, "Does the name 'Princess Windy the Falcon' ring a bell?" Wave's eyes widened and she dropped her wrench.

"I've been trying to tell you," Jet started, but Storm nudged him. Then came the awkward silence…

"WELL I CAN'T HEAR SILENCE!" Landon the Monkey screamed. Ohh… I swear, these dang fan-characters…

"W-Windy…?" Wave stammered. Windy slowly got up on her feet.

"Yes, I am," she panted, with a faint sense of pride. Storm- who was holding Jet and Starr by the feathers on the backs of their heads- dropped them and fainted, yes, fainted, not passed out, fainted. Wave was drowning in a pool of confusion.

"You're still alive?" she asked. Windy frowned.

"Well of course I'm alive, what did you think?" she snapped. Wave shrugged. Windy relaxed herself and put and put her hand to her face wearily. "I'm glad you still have plenty of respect," she said finally. Wave's cheeks went a light pink.

"Wave, can I talk with you for a minute?" Jet asked, "-alone?" he added as everyone's eyes shifted in his direction. Wave slowly followed Jet upstairs. Jet closed the door behind them.

"Um…" Wave started. Jet folded his arms.

"Well?" he asked impatiently. Wave rubbed her arm in an embarrassed manner and shifted her foot a bit.

"Sorry," she muttered. Jet raised his left eyebrow slightly. He wasn't satisfried (yes, satisfried) with her response at all, after all he, Starr, and Windy had been though, there was more to be said then just a simple "sorry."

"Is that it?" he asked. Wave's eyes slowly shifted to her feet.

"Uh, well, no," she replied, "I just… I didn't realize…"

"Even if she weren't royalty, you shouldn't have tried to attempt to murder her," Jet told her sternly. Wave closed her eyes.

"I know, I know. It's just… I was going a little crazy-," (pfft, a 'little?') "-after what you said to me at the temple, plus I hadn't planned on you leaving after we found Starr," Wave went on, "I've always had a bit of a crush on you and I wanted to see if you liked me too. I guess I convinced myself that you did and when you said you didn't, it tore me apart." Jet relaxed his frown and was listening closer. "And I don't know else to put it, but I'm sorry. Sorry to you, to Starr, and to Windy. I just hope we haven't totally lost friendship," Wave finished. Jet sat quietly for a moment. He had no idea she felt that bad. He thought she just went nuts and he ended up with his own personal "Amy Rose." Finally Jet walked over to Wave and gave her a friend hug.

"It's okay," he said, "And I'm sorry I made you feel that way." Wave smiled a little and gave him a light peck on the cheek. And once they went back downstairs, Wave and Storm both decided to stay with the rest of the Sonic Team, in a new sort of friendship.

END… for now… Haha…

A/N: I know, I was originally going to stretch it out to five chapters but I couldn't find a place to break off so… instant short fanfiction… (shrugs) so I guess I'll give you previews for the next two fics, cuz I've already written one.

Hate Can Take A Life- After a huge argument about the custody of the control box, Jet lets it slip to Starr that their parents are dead. After that, things go downhill, and result in a horrific event that Jet will never forgive himself for.

Preview:

Jet tore through the bushes.

"I can't believe this is happening," he thought, "I should've just forgiven her! Now this is happening! Eggman, that traitor... he promised that it was only Starr and my fight! And if I had just told her why she can't touch the box, she'd be-"

"OMG," Jet gasped as he reached his sister. For she was lying on the ground, motionless, surrounded in a few of her sunset feathers. And her beak, feathers, dress, and Gear were patched with blood...

Life without you wasn't life-

Jet thinks about what happened right after Sonic Riders. He remembers his real reason for wanting the carpet, the horrible flashbacks, and the thing his two friends did to help him find his sister. Prequel of "Wish Upon a Starr" Involves the ending of Sonic Riders and leads into chapter three of "Wish upon a Starr"

Preview:

"Starr," he thought, "where are you?"

"Jet?" Wave asked, "Are you okay?"

He didn't want them to know he still missed her, so Jet casually smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm fine..."
