Hey guys, I'm back. So, I've spent most of the night debating what story I would update tonight and I've decided to update this. Hey, the sooner and faster I update, the sooner I get to what I know will be my favorite part of this story. And what part would that be, you ask? Why the Shadow Saga, of course! I may have only watched part of the games but I've already fallen in love with Shadow's character and since I feel like everyone else has a kind of love interest, just so you guys know I support Tails/Cream not Tails/Cosmo but I will not take it out, if it's in a scene that Kara's in then I will man up and do it. Anyways, I designed Kara to be the complete opposite of Shadow in both her appearance and personality. This way, I can show how they slowly become friends and, later, love interests, though that'll be more in Snowflakes and Shadows then this story. Okay! So, thanks to starrat, grapejuice101 (Wow, how is it that you're in most of the same fandoms as me!? But it's nice to know someone is here!), pokecats649, red rose silver moon and edvis93 for reviewing/following/favoring along with all 65 readers (By the way, I do this all the time)! Okay, well I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, cause now we're actually getting through a full episode! Woo hoo! Anyways, please review and enjoy!


Kara sat up and groaned, raising her hand up to the side of her head, the source of her pain. She hadn't felt this bad since she woke up on Angel Island with no memory whatsoever ten years ago. Slowly, Kara opened her eyes only to let out a slight scream. She wasn't in Eggman's base! She was on some strange platform high above the ground and didn't recognize anything!

Oh God...She thought, her arms coming to wrap around her tightly as she began to hyperventilate. It's ten years ago all over again! Kara's eyes then traveled to her right where she saw Cream and Cheese waking up. Quickly, the hedgehog ran over and knelt beside the rabbit and Chao. "Cream! Cream! Wake up!" Kara whispered as she shook the girl. Cream slowly opened her eyes.

"Snowflake...?" She whispered before she took in her surroundings. Feeling fear clench her heart, Cream grabbed onto Cheese and Kara, asking, "Where are we?" Taking a deep breath, Kara answered,

"I don't know, but we're gonna be okay, Cream, I promise." That was the best thing Kara could do. She was known for never breaking a single promise, after all.


Kara didn't know how long they were up there when people started to climb up the strange sign. Once they did, however, the hedgehog stood up in front of Cream and Cheese, glaring at the people as if she could turn them to ice with it. Cream was crying slightly as she begged,

"Oh, please!"

"Chao chao!" Cheese cried in fear.

"Please, leave us alone!" Cream cried.

"Don't you people touch her or I swear you'll regret it!" Kara snarled, her temper close to breaking. Since she spent basically ten years around nobody but Knuckles, excluding when Sonic and Tails came to 'visit', Kara developed a slight temper. Though her's was more controlled than the echidna's, push her too far or threaten someone she cared for and you'll be running for your life. Sonic knew that better than anyone, having pushed Kara too far a couple times and ending up as an icicle for a day or two...or five. But we're not talking about that now! Kara tried to fight off the people without resorting to her cyrokinesis or pulling out Starlit Night, (what she didn't want them to know about her powers yet!) but she, Cream and Cheese were all taken prisoner anyway.


Kara, Cream and Cheese were put in a kind of glass tube surrounded by all the people.

"We didn't do anything, please let us out!" Cream begged, scared out of her mind.

"Don't worry Cream, I won't let them hurt you." Kara whispered as she hugged the rabbit tightly while a strange device was pushed towards them and Cheese hugged Cream's leg. Cream looked up to Kara and, in that moment, the female hedgehog was the rabbit's only support, comfort and protection. When Cream and Cheese saw the device, they gasped.

"What kind of place is this?" Cream said, "Cheese, Snowflake, we've got to get out of here!" Kara's only response was to tighten her grip on the rabbit and to do the only thing she could in that moment. Call for help.

Sonic, Tails...if either of you are here, please come help Cream, Cheese and me! I can't do anything! We need you!


As they stood, the cage suddenly lowered something strange around them. Cream and Cheese gasped in fear and Kara tightened her grip on them even more. She couldn't reveal her powers yet, that would only put them in more danger! Or worse, she'd be seperated from Cream and Cheese and the youngest members of their group would have no protection or support!

"I don't like this." Cream whispered.

"Chao." Cheese agreed.

"Neither do I, Cream, but we'll be okay." Kara whispered as she stroaked the top of Cream's head, speaking in a calm voice. Being calm always helped keep others calm, or so she thought. For what seemed like forever, the three were surrounded until the strange green lights were lifted. Just then, the power went off. Kara grinned. Tails got the message! Just then, a blue streak raced in, broke the glass, grabbed the three and hid behind a strange device. Kara was grinning when she saw Sonic, though she wondered about the strange device he was wearing but that could wait until later.

"Sonic!" Cream grinned but Sonic shushed her straight after. Kara only smiled as Cheese started crying out happily and hugging Sonic tightly.

"Over there!" A man's voice cried.

"Sonic, we gotta go!" Kara whisper shouted. Sonic nodded,

"Let's go."

"Right!" Cream agreed as Sonic gave her Cheese and the two girls followed the blue blur as fast as they could.


The three ended up running through the hallway, Sonic holding Cream's wrist as he ran while Kara managed to keep up with him, resisting the urge to fly, for now. Once they were free, she could fly as long as she wanted!

"Wow, Sonic, how'd you shut off all the electricity?" Cream asked as they ran.

"I didn't do it, Cream. I guess it just happened." Sonic answered as he looked back at the young girl with a half smile.

"Maybe it just happened because you bring good luck wherever you go, Sonic!" Cream grinned. Kara almost laughed at that, almost, but she was too busy focusing on keeping up with Sonic and not jumping in the air.

"You might be right." Sonic agreed cockily. Just then, the power came back on and the three looked up and gasped in horror. The cameras were on and pointing at them!

"I shouldn't have said anything. This must be a jinx!" Cream said, worried.

"This isn't your fault." Sonic and Kara said in unison, a habit they formed after it became established that Kara would be Sonic's partner in crime, as the blue blur liked to call her. Lasers then came out of the cameras, ready to fire.

"Cream, hang on." Sonic stated.

"Right." Cream nodded as Kara prepared to fly and, if necessary, summoun a barrier. As Sonic started to run, Kara jumped in the air and flew effortlessly beside Sonic. The lasers started to come towards them, but the trio easily avoided them. Well, at least it was easier than avoiding Eggman's endless supply of robots. As they were running, Kara noticed Sonic talking into the strange device he wore.

"Not exactly." He said, obviously answering the typical 'are you alright' question. Sonic then let go of Cream's wrist, causing the rabbit to cry,

"Sonic!"

"Run!" Sonic cried back, "Snowflake, freeze these things for me, will ya?" Kara nodded and just before Sonic jumped, she held her hands in front of her and froze every camera she could, turning them into ice sculptures. Sonic, on the other hand, jumped on a camera and angled it so it shot lasers at each camera Kara either froze or didn't manage to. As a camera fell to the floor, Sonic yelled at Cream, "Keep running!"

"Right!" Cream smiled before she took off. Kara looked up at Sonic and cried,

"Sonic, watch out!" Sonic jumped a second before Kara shot ice out at the camera he had been on.

"The door! We can't make it out!" Hearing Cream, the partners turned and quickly ran, or flew in Kara's case, to her side. Sonic picked her up bridal style and the duo just got through the door as it was about to close...only to be met with more lasers.

"Really? Are they kiddding right now?!" Kara growled, her temper flaring. First, they lock up her, Cream and Cheese. Second, they try to kill them with lasers. Third, they tried to trap them in the hallway. Now, they have even more dumb lasers?! Sonic and Kara skidded to a halt and stood, or floated, protectively in front of Cream. Before Kara could freeze the cameras where they were, mini airplanes started to fly down the hallway.

"Hey, what are they?" Cream asked. Sonic prepared to fight them when they attacked the cameras. The blue blur looked around in complete shock. He hadn't been expecting that! "I don't understand. What's going on?" Cream asked.

"We can't stick around to find out!" Sonic cried as he took off running, causing Cream to cry out in surprise. Kara flew alongside Sonic and summound Starlit Night.

"Barrier!" She cried and the familiar portal of light surrounded the fleeing trio. They soon reached a stairway and ran up, lasers on their tails.

"Sonic, are we going to make it out?" Cream asked nervously.

"Don't worry, we'll make it!" Sonic replied, confident and serious at the same time. Suddenly, the laser sliced the stairs and Cream fell. In her surprise, Kara dropped her barrier and could only watch helplessly as Cream barely managed to hold onto Sonic's hand. Her energy had been drained by using her cyrokinesis and light one right after the other. Being only 15 meant she was still weak after using her powers for a period of time and that meant she had to 'recharge', as Tails put it. That meant, if she were to fly right now, she'd go down with Cream instead of saving her.

"Hold on, Cream!" Kara cried worridley. Suddenly, the stairs were sliced again. Using all of his strength, Sonic pulled the rabbit and Chao up and began jumping up to escape the lasers, Kara following him, though she had to land on every ledge with him when she would usually just fly up. Once they were safe, Sonic set Cream down with a smile. Cream, smiling, put Cheese down as Sonic and Kara looked down to make sure they were safe.

"See Cream, I told you we'd make it and we did!" Sonic smiled confidently, "You didn't doubt me, did ya?" Cream shook her head and grinned,

"Thank you for saving us!"

"Ah, anytime, Cream, anytime." Sonic smiled, giving the girls a thumbs up.

"Now don't go getting too cocky, hedgehog." Kara teased as she crossed her arms. "I called you, didn't I?"

"Yeah, I got your call, but I knew you guys needed help already." Sonic replied, "Besides, I couldn't have done that without my partner in crime, now could I?" As he finished talking, Sonic reached out and ruffled Kara's quills.

"Soniiiccc!" Kara whined like the child she was at heart. Sonic laughed slightly when they all heard something.

"Huh? Hey, what's that?" Sonic asked. He took off the strange device and listened. "Sounds like a plane. The Tornado!" Sonic smiled.

"Oh yeah, did I mention I called Tails, too?" Kara grinned, knowing the two tailed fox was responsible for the power problems allowing them to escape. If Kara was Sonic's partner in crime, then Tails was his sidekick, and number 1 at that. Sonic grabbed Cream and Cheese before he crashed through the roof, Kara right behind him.

"Alright Sonic!" Tails grinned as he lowered the plane so Sonic could grab on while Kara, for once, landed in the backseat. She never sat there unless they were making an aerial escape and she could fly in. As they flew away, Sonic smiled,

"Hey!"

"Ha ha!" Tails grinned as he waved at his metaphorical older brother.

"It was you! You're the one who helped us get out of there!" Cream smiled at the two tailed, plane flying fox. Tails just winked in return and said,

"I helped, but Sonic's the real hero." Kara leaned forward and smiled,

"Nice to see you got my call!"

"And your location!" Tails grinned back at her as he directed the Tornado away from what Kara now dubbed as prison.


Later, the four animals and Chao stood in a house with a young boy and his grandfather, who introduced himself as Chuck Thorndyke.

"My name's Christopher. Sonic landed in our pool last night and I dove in and saved him." The boy, Chris, introduced. Kara laughed at that, already prepared to tease Sonic over it.

"I'm Tails and I'm Sonic's very best buddy! Right Sonic?" Tails smiled.

"Correct." Sonic smiled.

"My name's Cream and this is my very special Chao friend named Cheese. Thanks for having us." Cream smiled and bowed.

"I'm Kara, but you can call me Snowflake or Snow. I'm Sonic's partner in crime, as he says." Kara grinned, "So Sonic, you had a nice swim?"

"Snow, cut it out!" Sonic groaned. He received enough teasing from Knuckles alone, he didn't need the echidna's sister teasing him too!

"It's very nice to meet all of you. I have a feeling we're all going to be really good friends." Chris smiled, "Oh and this is my grandfather."

"Extraordinary. Tiny, radio-controlled airplanes. Extraordinary." Chuck said.

"We've got lots of unique gadgets!" Tails bragged, his tails wagging happily.

"Listen Sonic, this isn't a game, you know? You could've gotten all of us thrown in jail!" Chris scolded.

"Maybe I could've, but I didn't, did I?" Sonic replied cockily.

"Couldn't you try to be more careful?" Chris asked. Sonic shrugged while Kara burst out laughing.

"Sorry, Chris, but Sonic and careful go together like...Eggman succeeding at one of his plans! Impossible!" Kara grinned.

"This is an amazing piece of equipment. It goes beyond anything I have seen. How did you develop it?" Chuck asked Tails.

"It's nothing special." Tails answered and then added, "Not in the world we come from."

"And where exactly is that world, Tails?" Chuck asked eagerly.

"Beats me. But I think we got here through a warp in time and space." Tails answered.

"Hmmm. Very interesting." Chuck stated, "Not very helpful, but interesting."

"Sorry, but we just got here, what, less than a day ago?" Kara shrugged sheepishly, innocence shining in her eyes. Sonic just chuckled while Chris looked at him.

"I just thought of something." Tails said, "If you and me and Snowflake and Cream and Cheese are here, maybe the others got here too."

"You might be right about that, Tails," Sonic agreed, looking thoughtful. "and that means, if you are, maybe..."

"Eggman's here too!" All four animals finished in unison. Kara sighed, running her hand through her quills.

"This just got a whole lot harder." She sighed, hanging her head.
