Rouge found her self inside a nice room, but it had a bad vibe, it was weird how the room's wall were decorated with the color purple and the only lights were Crystals that were place in each corner.

The ivory Bat had to get out fast. She didn't want to think what Mephiles had in stored for her. She ran towards the window only for large shafts of crystals to pop out on the sill, the crystals acted like bars of a prison cell. The bat backed away from the window.

"...Damn..." she cursed.

...

Sonic and the Gang mange to take Shadow to safety, with their luck they crossed paths with Cream the rabbit and her mother Vanilla. The mother and daughter were vacationing in Soleanna and invited the heroes to thier private vacation home.

Vanilla got right to work wrapping Shadow up in bandages, and put him in a comfortable bed. Once finished she left the hedgehog to rest and went down to serve refreshments to the rest of the team.

...

" Is Mr. Shadow going to be ok Mama?" Cream asked.

" I don't know" Vanilla placed a tray with tea and cookies on the coffee table.

" Well Shadow is stubborn" Amy said " If he knows whats good for him he'll stay put a recover".

" Speaking of Shadow" Knuckles spoke up " why wasn't Bat-Girl with him?"

" I don't know Knuckles" Sonic told him " we can ask him when he wakes up".

Cream walked over to the tray on the table and gathered some cookies and poured a cup of tea into a small cup.

" Mama is it alright if I bring some tea for Mr Shadow?" the little rabbit asked. Vanilla looked over to Sonic, the blue hedgehog nodded signaling it was alright. Cream carefully carried the plate upstairs where Shadow was.

...

Carefully opening the door while balancing a plate with hot tea and cookies Cream manage to get in with out spilling a drop. She put the plate on the night stand, the little rabbit turned to the hedgehog who look like he was sleeping peacefully.

" Don't worry Mr Shadow" Cream spoke " you'll get better soon". The rabbit turn to leave only to find Tails at the door.

"Tails?" she asked. The young Kitsune walked over to Creams side and looked down at the seeping hedgehog.

"Don't worry to much Cream" the 8 year old told her " he's like Sonic he'll be fine". Tails convinced her to come back down to hep the others with their plan, the two didn't even reach the door when they heard Shadow stir.

Both children turn there heads. Shadow's eyes slowly opened. He turned looking at the frighten two, He recognized the Kitsune.

"...T...Tails?" Shadow croak. " Wh..."

"..Shadow...Don't move, I..I'll get Sonic and Miss Vanilla" Tails ran out off the room leaving Cream alone with the hedgehog.

" Y...your not gonna leave are you?" Cream asked. Shadow tried to move but couldn't as he felt the pain.

"...N..No" he admitted.

Tails returned with The rest of the group. Vanilla told him not to move. Shadow ignored the rabbit and turn his head over to Sonic.

"...Why am I here?" he asked.

" Hey We found you all banged up in the city" The blue hedgehog told him. Shadow hated having to be rescued by his rival, he flopped his head back on the pillow, but something didn't feel right, some one was missing among the teams.

" Oh crap!" he said.

" what?" Knuckled asked.

" Rouge..." The black and red hedgehog spoke " She's been captured in the castle"
