Alright, here comes another. But first, reviews!
Delta Knight: Sorry bout that, will do.
Abysswing: Thanks! I guess understandable is good…were my other chapters not? Oops.
...That's it? Hmm…Two reviews…What happened to everyone!? (By the way, thanks you two for constantly reviewing).
Oh well.

Amy couldn't do anything but watch as Lee threw her body at her friends, throwing Ice Shards and Ice Beams everywhere.
'So, they lied to me.'
'Yep. I didn't die, and your technology helped the Rockets become what they are today. A powerhouse, a threat to the League. I should thank you, except for the fact that you left.'
'I left because the Rockets were criminals.'
'So?'

--Two Years Ago—
"Amy? AMY! Wake up!"
"I-Is Lee really…"
"Yes."
Amy didn't want to cry in front of her superior officer, but she couldn't help it. Her experiment killed her best friend.
"Amy…it wasn't your fault. Jason told you to go ahead and test it. How could you have known?"
"I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!! I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IT!!"
Amy couldn't help it. She was screaming, fighting against Kate, who was holding her, trying to soothe her. Kate took a quick step back, and slapped Amy across the face.
"Calm down! THAT IS AN ORDER!"
Amy stopped fighting instantly, though tears still flowed down her now stinging face.
"I'm giving you the day off to recuperate. You start again tomorrow morning."
With that, Kate spun on her heel and walked out the door.

A few hours later, Amy was walking aimlessly around the Rocket complex, unable to cry anymore. When she finally looked up from her shuffling feet, she realized she was in a part of the facility she had never been in. Amy looked around, alarmed, and tried to find her way back to a familiar area. She stopped when she heard Kate talking behind a door that was open slightly. Unable to overcome the curiosity eating away at her, she stopped by the door.
"…start training in three days, after he's had time to recuperate. Yes, the project is going well, so far. Yes…I know…Alright…I'll 'interview' him. Don't worry, I'll get what we need."
Amy heard Kate hanging up the phone, and footsteps approaching the door. Amy pressed herself against the wall behind the door and waited. Kate stepped out of the small room and into one across the hall, closing the steel door behind her. After she started breathing normally again, Amy walked over to the door and pressed her ear against it. All she could hear were muffled voices, one male, and one female. Then, as she turned to resume her search for a familiar area of the base, she heard a hideous scream from the room.

While Amy was reliving her past, her body was doing its best to kill her friends. The grassy area they were using as a battle field alternated between smoldering swathes of charred grass, slick icy patches, craters, and uprooted trees. From the bits of battle she did surface enough to watch, it was clear that Lee had had plenty of battle training since the last time they saw each other. There were sixteen people battling him (fifteen if you didn't count Sam, who was nursing his aching head and throwing a few half-hearted Shadow Balls that came closer to hitting his friends than Lee), and none of their attacks hit him. Amy's natural athleticism and years of training only helped his ridiculous flips and dodges.
'If only I were fat'
'Awww, don't think that Amy! I like you just the way you are. It makes it so much easier to dodge these pathetic attacks. Though I might just kill that Magmortar instead of capturing him. Those Flamethrowers are not fun.'
'Stop it now Lee! If you don't, I swear to Arceus I'll—'
'What? What will you do Amy? Think bad thoughts at me? Just shut up and stop distracting me.'

Alright, a little bit short again, and it took longer than the last one. Double Sorry! And, I've got some bad news…I won't be able to write much more for a few weeks, because I just realized school starts in 9 days and I have 2 books, a book report, and an AP American History reading to do…Oops. Oh well, when I get caught up, I will be sure to post. REVIEW!!
