Smash Two

[Voice;English]

[*The first sound heard is just walking, along with the sound of something being dragged across the broken streets. Until Rosy start talking in a sing song voice*]

Sneaky, sneaky beasties- look how they hiiiide; I'll find them, find them and show them my new toy.

[*The walking stops and Rosy gives a little confused sound before

[Finding her hadn’t been hard, Rosy had left a path of defeated monsters, and the drag marks of her pipe in her wake. The hedgehog hadn’t seemed to go after a person yet, so maybe Scourge had been wrong about how destructive she was when she was left to her own devices.

Scourge’s presence probably riled her up, how would he know what she was like when he wasn’t around?

But still Knuckles hung back, he was just keeping an eye on her, she hadn’t done anything wrong yet. And he didn’t want to start anything.]

[However, he wasn‘t Espio, and tracking someone in this city was nothing like tracking an intruder on the island, the shadows maybe just as deep, but the sound carried and echoed and it was imposable to move both silently and quickly as he moved to a patch of blackness closer to the girl.]

[He froze at her amused shout. Found who? Another monster, or himself?]

[Comment log: you have no idea how much this made me squee!]

[rose_delirium]

The unfortunate monster that Rosy had found was quickly dispatched; the poor crazed girl getting bored half way through the 'smashing' and leaving the sniffer dog to limp off somewhere else to most likely get picked off by it's 'pack.

She muttered a song to herself, looking at the pipe in her hand before catching a slight noise. Her ear twitched and she grinned.

"Whose being sneaky? I can hear you~~" she lifted the pipe to her shoulder and started walking back the way she came, swinging into the shadows every so often.

[Comment log: <3 Your Rosy keeps getting creeper. (Sorry for edit fail) ]

[Curse it...To close. Well it was to late to do anything about that, and he couldn't just runway. Question was what should he do now that she knew someone was there.]

[Stay hidden and get smacked on the head with the pipe, or reveal himself and maybe get hit with a pipe...Well that wasn't much of a choice.]

Hello Rosy.

[Knuckles stepped out of the shadows, forcing himself to look relaxed and not ready for a fight.]

You're taking care of the icky beasts just fine I see.

[Comment log: thank you x3 (s'ok :3)]

[rose_delirium]

Rosy seemed startled to see Knuckles, openly staring at him in confusion. Scrouge had 'taken care' of the Knuckles on her world- and she really never bothered to understand the idea of different zones.

"Where's your hat?" She looked back down the alley before smiling and looking cutely proud. "It's fun to smash them and watch them run away skitter skatter."

[Knuckles noticed the confusion and started to wonder if maybe Rosy was from a world without a Knuckles...but Scourge had known exactly who he wa -]

“My hat?” Knuckles asked. “I think you have me confused with another knuckles.”

[Knuckles tried not to just outright stare at Rosy, what had happened to her to make her like this?]

“...You never feel sorry for them?”

[rose_delirium]

"Oh." That made sense to her but she couldn't really be bothered by it. Not anymore.

She giggled and tightened her grip on her iron pipe, her eye bright as she grinned.

"No~ never care, never never." Rosy watched him carefully, not necessarily in distrust or curiosity. Mostly out of habit, it came from living with the Suppression Squad for so long.

[That answer saddened Knuckles. After hearing about Sonic’s world; where Robotnik was never in charge, where the Emeralds he was charged with protecting didn’t leave a wake of suffering in their passing. He found hearing about Scourge’s world; where Tails tried to kill the green hedgehog and Amy had been reduced to this beyond disturbing.]

I’m, sorry, to hear that.

[He couldn‘t afford to, he had no doubt now that Scourge was right, that the moment she got tired of taking she would swing for him...but he pitied her.]

You know...if you killed them outright, you could share them with someone who can cook them for you, hot meals can be hard to come by when your living here alone...

[He doubted practicality would really convince her to work with other people rather than attack them, but it was worth a try. He didn’t know enough about how people tick to even try reasoning with her on an emotional level, he was starting to think even a professional wouldn’t be able to.]

What made you like this?

[And if Knuckles could have, he would

Rosy wasn't sure what to make of Knuckles tone of voice, she'd never heard anything like it before. She let the lead pipe hang limply next to her and she titled her head. Yes she was crazy, but she still had enough sense to stay alive. She'd figured out slowly that this wasn't home- which meant no SWATbots to do everything.

"Not hungry yet." she finally settled on before tightening the loosening hold on her pipe. The manic grin resturned and she wriggled the fingers on her free hand.

"I wanted Scourgey to pay attention to me~ He never did when I was little." she twirled around and grabbed the pipe in both hands. "So I made a wish on a magic ring and now I'm a big girl!" She pouted though, "But Scourgey still runs away."

[Knuckles saw her thinking it over, and was thankful that she had more reason than her initial cackling had suggested.]

Okay...

[Knuckles spread his weight on his feet a little more evenly at the return of that grin. A magic ring? So like Tails this Amy was younger, or had been at least. and he didn’t blame Scourge for running. The more things changed...]

You just wanted Scourge‘s attention and wanted to help him to get it huh? Why don’t you be a good girl let me help you? All you have to do is promise not to hurt anyone.

She giggled madly at that, "I don't need help. And I was never ever a good girl."

Without much warning other then a squeal of delight she swung the lead pipe towards him, "The ring hurt my mind- so now I get to hurt everyone too~!"

oops. Wrong thing to say!

[Knuckles barely managed to throw himself to the side of the blow, the pipes passing ruffling the fur on his arm, but he stubbornly refused to write her off.]

Nobody will want to help fix you if you hurt them!

Rosy hmphed, "No fair!" She didn't seem to be listening now, more interested in having Knuckles meet her pipe then what he was saying.

"I don't care~ Stand still!" Another swipe towards him.

“If that’s what you want.” Knuckles said as he braced himself tried to catch the pipe.

[rose_delirium]

She tsked when he caught her pipe. That's why her hammer was better, no one could catch the spiked mallet.

"Let go!"

The stinging in Knuckles' palms testified to how strong even a chipped Rosy was, right now it seemed like they were on an equal footing.

“I don’t think I will.”

Gritting his teeth and tightening his own hold on the pipe Knuckles tried to tear the pipe out of her hands.

Rosy gave a growl and tugged the pipe up, trying to get it back and swing at Knuckles.

"LET GO!!!!"
