-prologue- It was a nice hot summer day, with the perfect weather conditions to go swimming, or should I say extreme gear riding! Out in the open sea, the crystal clear water was splashing like it does when jet skies glide across it's surface, but it wasn't jet skies that where making the waves, it was hover boards (aka: extreme gear)! Three different ones to be exact. And those three riders on the extreme gear where known as the Babylon Rouges! Legendary decedents of magical gene like creatures, these riders are the best of the best. And they were currently on a task of the utmost importance to their leader, Jet the hawk. "We're almost to the cavern, guys!" Jet said excitedly as he looked at the old yellowish faded parchment paper map that was in his hands. (*gasp* wow, that was a mouthful!) "Thank goodness! For a second there I thought we would keep on riding for hours." Said Storm, who was quite relieved that they'd finally take a break to rest their legs. "After we find the treasure that's in that cavern, we'll have enough money to get some more supplies for our extreme gear, and then some!" "Not like I need it because I'm just that good!" Jet boasted. "Hey! I think I see the entrance to the cavern!" Shouted Wave. "Race ya to it!" Cried Jet as he took off. When Wave and Storm reached the cavern, they looked at a big mountain of gold, hoping to find Jet, but he was nowhere to be seen. Then, they looked off in another direction and found Jet starring inside a old weathered treasure chest a little ways off. "W-what is it, boss?" Storm stuttered. "It's-It's... a baby." Jet said in disbelief as he took the little tike out of the trunk. It was a bright, grass green female echidna baby with dark blue eyes that were as blue as the sea. "Listen, we came here for money not children!" Wave said, clearly annoyed by the attention and fascination the baby was getting when they should be focusing on the gold at the other side of the room. "Poor kid, she doesn't even have a home." Jet said sympathetically, which was quite a shock to Wave Storm. (mainly because he rarely shows sympathy) Storm and Wave were even more shocked when they heard Jet say, "Come on guys, lets take her to her new home." -chapter one- Once again, the sun was bright, and the sky was clear, but this time there seemed to be more commotion then usual in the Babylon Rouges' base. Inside the main room there were streamers and confetti everywhere. The table that the Rouges usually sit at to eat all their meals was now covered with a pale pink tablecloth and also had paper plates and cups all over it, and in the middle was a nice big cake. The cake itself was flavored vanilla and the icing on top of it was a light pink like the table cloth and it had some white icing around the border. Also on the cake, was more white icing spelling out the words: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEWEL!" in the middle of the cake. And there was even a actual diamond stuck in the cake right above the words. But the room itself was dark and completely silent as Jet hid underneath the table, Wave hid behind a chair, and storm hid behind a floor lamp. Wave then whispered to Jet, "When is she coming?" Jet then whispered back, "She'll be here any second now." Meanwhile, Jewel was still asleep in her bed snoring like a hippo with a congested nose as her alarm clock finally rang. Jewel then woke up abruptly as the alarm clock kept on making this same noise over and over: "BREE! BREE!" It only stopped when Jewel threw it across the room. "It's morning already?" Jewel said drowsily to herself as she trudged over to the bathroom to get freshened up. After that she went downstairs and fumbled around for the light switch as she thought, "They should be up by now." After a bit of searching, Jewel found the light switch and turned it on. Immediately, Jet and Wave emerged from their hiding spots and shouted, "SURPRISE!" As Storm emerged from his and blew a kazoo. "Wow! I almost forgot that today was my 13th birthday! Thanks Aunt Wave! Thanks Uncle Storm!" Jewel shouted with glee. "And thank you Dad!" Jewel said as she ran over to Jet and hugged him. Jet, with tears of joy in his eyes, then replied, "You're welcome Jewel, please don't get older." Jewel then chuckled as she said, "I'll try Dad, I'll try." Jet then suddenly walked over to the door. "I almost forgot, your aunt and I made you something, it's in the other room." Jet said as he opened the door for Jewel. Jewel then got an excited look on her face and bolted out through the door as fast she could. When she got to the other room, she turned on a light and stared in amazement at the extreme gear that sat before her. The headgear part of it was a pair of goggles with purple lenses, and the board part of the gear was black with some lavender stripes. "Whoa..." was all Jewel could say. "So, do you like it?" Jet asked as he, Wave, and Storm walked into the garage.
(continued) "Like it? I love it!" Jewel said as she put on the headgear and picked up the board. "Can I test it out?" She asked as she stared at the board intensely. "I'll land the ship." Jet said as he went to the control room. tell me if there's any spelling or grammar mistakes in there so I can fix them. (in case your confused, the Babylon Rouges' base is an airship. credit to The Sonic News Network for the info on Jet's, Wave's, And Storm's personalities, and for the info about the base.) sorry if the first chapter is short, I have a limit on how much I can type.
