Angle Island...
        Knuckles the Echidna, Guardian of Angle Island and the Master Emerald. The last of the Knuckles Clan, he has defeated enemy after enemies who dared cross him, overcoming every struggle. However, after all this time he currently is struggle with a different problem... "How do you? Can you hear me now, Rouge?" The red Echidna asked his girlfriend over the video feed.
        Tails, who is off to the side setting up some kind of security device, looks over to him. "IS THE SOUND TURNED ON?" The Fox asked.
        "Yes, its turned on!." Knuckles calls back... He turns on the sound. "Can you hear me?"
        *"Yes, I can hear you, Knuki."* Rouge cood. *"Although just seeing your handsome face is more than enough."* Rouge smiles warmly at Knuckles, and he returned it with a bashful one. *"Hold on, I want to show you something."* She tells him as she reaches over the screen. Knuckles face gets redder, because as she reaches over the camera is now looking down her shirt.
        "Umm. I, really like your outfit." He tells her. She was wearing a khaki long sleeve shirt,  with brown cargo pants for a change.
        She looks into the camera with a mischievous smile,  closing her eyelids a little. *"Did you enjoy that little peep show."* There is comfortable silence between them.
        "So, what did you want to show me?" He asked. Rouge holds up a photo they took at the dig sight. It was a picture of a wall with various symbols and images. "These look a lot like the ruins on Angel Island!." 
        *"I won't know for sure until we get some of these finds back to a real lab but going off my father's notes. I believe this find predates the Echidna clans by 1000 years."* 
        Rouge has been part of an excavation team for 3 months now. 4 months ago, some mountain climbers were on an expansion, however during their climb there was a small trimmer. What was once believed to be a forgotten Eggman base, turned out to be a Historical find. Knuckles made sure to thank Shadow for his recommendation of Rouge, to the team. He and Shadow really aren't on the best of terms, but when it comes to Rouge, they have a mutual understanding.
        *"Knuckles. Knuckles, can you hear me?"* Rouge called into the camera. "What were you thinking?"*
        Knuckles smiles. "Thinking how much I missed holding you in my arms."
        *"Aawww~. Looks like you learned to be more of a flirt."* She teased. *"Don't worry, I'll be on my way back as soon as Shadow and Omega get here with my flight."*
-Shadow's POV...
        Shadow gruntingly grips the support bars of his seat as their plane does another roll. "Why can't you shake them?!" He yelled at his pilot. "This Aircraft wasn't designed for dog fights." The pilot tells him. 
        An hour after they entered the region's air space, a radical group attacked them. For months the group has been vocal about the dig site, but only recently have they resulted in violence. Shadow could really care less right now, all he wanted was to land. But not Crash!
        "Do we have any guns on this tub?!" He yells, frustrated. "Only thing I got is another set of flairs." Shadow grunts as he unbuckles himself. Wobbling around to find his balance. "Omega! With me!" Shadow and Omega make their way to the back of the Plaine, where he quickly ties a pull cable to and around Omega. The robotic arsenal observes his actions.
