Sorry its been so long since I've updated this story! I will most likely finish this story within a few weeks! I hope you still like it and I appreciate your patience with it! Also: Can't wait for Project Sonic 2017! I wonder what it will be called! I hope it will be a little more interesting and has better graphics than many of the past Sonic games! I guess we'll just have to wait! Sister Location is also coming out later in the year and I hope it turns out just as well as the others: But I have no doubt it will! We should all appreciate the work these two teams (Scott and SEGA) put into their games to make them the best they can! I love you all and see you later!


Chapter 27: Emily

They checked (just to make sure) that Mangle hadn't moved from the Parts & Service room like Jamie had said. Big and silent hadn't helped much. Cameron just stayed where he was and let Jamie do all the talking. They didn't know if that was just his nature, or if he let Jamie talk so often he had just gotten used to not speaking as much.

Now they were about to face Mangle, a sneaky animatronic with a bossy attitude.

"Ready, guys?" They all nodded and she slowly opened up the door. It was pitch black but when Zenix turned the flashlight on, Mangle was quick to rush at them. Zenix slammed the door shut and pounding could be heard from the other side. They waited until they could no longer hear the banging.

Hesitantly, Zenix tried to crack the door open very little, in hopes of maybe reasoning this "Emily" out of the robot suit.

"Emily...? E-Emily? Are you alright?" Zenix asked. "You... you know you're supposed to be in Kid's Cove, right?" She could see Emily gazing out at her, uncertainly. Emily nodded. "Ok...So...Do you want to come out?" She shook her head. Zenix sighed. "I know it's difficult, meeting new people and doing new things..." She opened the door a bit more. "But, see, that's the only way we can learn new experiences and how to cope with different situations." Opens it a little bit more. "Do you understand?"

She waited for her response. It took several minutes before Emily/Mangle stepped into the light. She looked like she was observing them before she turned to Zenix and nodded.

"Alright!" Zenix said jumping up and down with excitement. But all excitement dissipated when Zenix started to clutch her abdomen and head, moaning in pain. Everyone froze, watching her. Her chest started to glow suddenly, then the whole hall filled with a bright light. When it died down, there stood Elizabeth and Nova. Nova was dazed for a second, then, when she had cleared her head, she did something unexpected: She punched Elizabeth (*Why, you may ask? See the bottom of the page for the answer!*)

"Ow! What was that for?!" Elizabeth whined.

"That," Nova said, glaring at her, "Was for coming out unexpectedly."

"Elizabeth...?"

They both looked in the direction of the new voice.

A young girl, around the edge of 14-15, stood in Mangle's place: she had long, blonde hair, small eyes, wide cheekbones, and freckles. Though some may have seen her as ugly in the past, her once-tan skin was now pale, which lit up her face. She now looked radiant.

Blaze had to cover her eyes and take deep breaths for a few seconds, before finally calming down (*send me a PM for more info on this topic!*)

"Emily!" Elizabeth exclaimed, embracing her. "It feels like it's been forever!"

"Well, its-well, it was only thirty or so years! It wasn't THAT long!"

Emily giggled.

"But still-*!" Elizabeth suddenly realized something. It was something she needed to do.

Cupping her hands around her mouth, she shouted as loud as she could:

"Hey, you guys! It's okay now!"

And that's when everything spun out of control.


Note 1: Nova grew up not knowing she had black magic *another PM message on that one!* But when she finally did, she also realized that she could commune with ghosts, as well as touch them. She had many ghost friends, but many more enemies. Despite this, she still uses this ability to this day.
