Rouge waited outside the club, knowing her girls would soon arrive. The first arrived in a flash of green light, which Rouge supposed was done harnessing the power of the Master Emerald pieces.
Standing at the flash's epicenter was a anthropomorphic echidna with red fur and a cartoonish, yet still quite feminine, build. Her muzzle was tan, with a small black point for a nose, here lips glossed in a cherry red to match her fur. Descending from her head was a curtain of dreadlocks, with a few braids mixed in, that reached down to brush against the ground. Her uniform was accentuated by red hearts, with a semicircle of bare skin at her collar, drawing attention to the cleavage pushed up by her uniform. Her arm length gloves ended with fingers with sharp points on the end, her boots ending in stiletto heels that gave an illusion of height. Here large, indigo colored eyes sat under half closed lids, with scarlet eye shadow and long lashes.
"I came as soon as I could, m'lady," the echidna said in a husky voice.
"Good. How goes the reassembling of the master emerald?" Rouge asked.
"It still has a ways to go, but you will have it as soon as it is complete, Rouge," the echidna replied.
"Good," Rouge said. She paused, looking back at the echidna. "And what should I call you, for that matter?"
"Why, Mittens, of course," the woman replied, holding up her gloved claws."
Rouge gave a titter at this, but her attention was soon drawn by the sound of an engine. She turned to spot a plane touch down just up the street, energy blasts frying any car which got in the way of its landing.
Rouge and Mittens walked over just in time for the pilot to emerge. She was a vixen, in both regards of the word, with orange fur and a sleek white underbelly. Her the area around her golden lips was white as well, and her blue eyes were shaded by makeup to match. Her large ears were studded with several earrings, and strands of hair fell down between them, forming a large fringe that covered nearly half of her face. She had the standard uniform, complete with yellow hearts at the chest and boots and bands around the arms, but sticking out just above her plump rear were nine long fox tails, which the vixen used to clamor out of the cockpit.
"Miley Prower at your service," the vixen announced. "Though you may just call me Nines."
Rouge smiled, "Did you make that plane yourself?"
Nines smiled. "This heap of junk? No, my handiwork is far better. Would you like me to get started on a better one, boss?"
"In a bit. Our last two members still need to arrive," Rouge said.
The final two arrive not a moment later, a blue and black blur that came to a stop directly in front of the other three. They were a pair of humanoid hedgehogs, though between their cartoonish and feminine features it was difficult to tell.
Sapphire was a blue hedgehog with thee spines that flowed together down to her small tail. Her green eyes and plump lips were accentuated with light blue makeup, which went with the hearts on her uniform quite well. Her mouth and chest were devoid of fur, showing off pale skin which was especially eye catching at her bust. Her boots, which possessed the heels just as everyone else's did, seemed to be of no detriment to her speed, and she seemed constantly energetic, even bouncing up and down when she stood still.
Shade, meanwhile, took on much darker look. Her black spines curled as they swooped down her back, giving the appearance of flipped hair. Many of the spines ended in red tips, which matched her eyes perfectly. Her makeup and the hearts on her outfit were a darker shade of red, while the insides of her ears and around her mouth were bare and a deep olive shade. The gloves and boots of her uniform were black, unlike everyone else's white, and a small white tuft of fur sat right at her breasts.
The two were arguing already, apparently contesting the results of a race they were having, but Rouge quickly silenced the pair. "Ladies!" she cried. "We can argue and build airplanes and the like later, but now, I think it's time I tell you the plan."
Four pairs of eyes turn to Rouge, as she smiles and begins to explain herself.
