(A/N) First of all I really want to apologize that it takes so long for me to write a next chapter for my story.

Unfortunately school has a tight grip around me with learning, projects and exams.

Sooo, I can't make any promises when the next chapter will come. I'm really sorry about that.


Whilst the racoon doctor remained silent, the egg soldier, the deer, looked right now confused, but began to speak. "So you are telling me that lady Clove cannot be helped?" "I-I don't know." "Great! This is just wonderful!" Annoyed and also angry the deer threw one of the game controllers on the bed. "It's, it's not like, I d-don't know…" The deer took a breath….and scratched with his right hand on his head. "You could have told Cassia that…with t-tact?!"

The doctor's voice went normal, but had now a little tone of bitterness involved „How am I supposed to speak with tact, in such a case, soldier." Both went silent "I'm going to contact Dr Eggman about this. I would recommend that you search and look for lady Cassia. The Doctor needs to know about this, that are the rules and unfortunately, he might be our only hope right now."

The corridor to the communication room was long, cold, and darker than the others. But maybe the feeling, that it was dark and cold, where just an imagination, played in and from her mind. That was mixed with different feelings. Feelings that where known as. Nervous, scared and unknowingness. Her mind was like a calculator that was trying to find the answer of a complicated mathematical formula and now, it was going through every solution it knew. But every answer he tried was wrong. She entered the room. Empty, no one was there. Only she and a half filled paper cup with i cold coffee that stand near on one of the consoles.

With haste she activated the communication device. The screen went on and the symbol of the Eggman Empire appeared. She typed in the name on the keyboard, every button she pressed, she pressed it with haste. After that, she went to the options. The call was now a high priority call with the number four, the highest number in priority calls. Then she pushed send. Careful, not too hard. She waited. Maybe a minute, or maybe just some seconds like ten or twenty. Then He appeared on the screen. The expression of his eyes (Well mostly of the forehead since the eyes where covered in glasses) seemed annoyed.

He looked down at her surprised then again annoyed. "I hope there is a good reason that this was sent as a high priority call and that a simple subordinate is calling me." She tried to look normal, emotionless, not to let any emotion trough. "Sir" She, the racoon made a hand signs to expression the respect she had to the doctor, then a short timed bow. "Lady Clove, there was an accident with her cybernetics. She just broke down. She is completely emotion and motionless." She wanted to say that she was afraid that the cybernetics failed…or they had a fault. But she was sure that the Doctor would see that as an insult against him. She hoped he would tell her what to do.

Maybe how she could help her superior or that they should make Clove ready that she would be transported to the Doctors HQ so he would "fix" her. "And where is her sister by now…the young one with the metal face?" The doctor grinned. The racoon gulped. "We…we don't know but she i-…" "Good." "G-Good?" the racoon now stuttered "Do I look I would care about that twerp. Well, I don't." He grinned. "Prepare everything. You will get a new egg boss but not too soon. There are far more important things to do right now."

"Sir, with great respect but Lady Clove…what should we do with her? We, we can't ju-" He stood up and he looked more annoyed than before. "Do you think I have time to care for one single individual just because she can't do anything anymore!? Do you know how much time and resources that would waste? Enough! I would need to rewrite everything. On everyone! As long as there is no new egg boss. I assignee you as the replacement since her sister is unsuitable for that job. And it seems you are the only one who was intelligent enough to call me! Eggman out! " For a short time the screen was black, and then the eggman empire symbol was once again on the monitor. But now the grin looked more sadistic than before.

Slowly, she went out of the room, right in the direction of Clove and Cassias Room. Her mind was for a short amount of time cloudy. Did that really happened, or was it more a nightmare. But it was real and once again the calculator in her mind, searched for solutions. Cassia was probably and with high chances in the little housing unit where she and her sister lived. From far away, she could hear a voice. A voice she already knew to whom it belonged. At first she couldn't understand what he said, but the more she got to the housing unit, the more it got clearer. "Lady Cassia! Open up! Please…at least say something!" He sounded worried and his expression told the same. There was a bit sweat of fear that ran down, the eyes went from left to right in half a second. He was worried. Worried that Cassia would have done something stupid to herself. Right now he wished he could help her.

And right now the only thing he wanted was to break the door into smithereens so he could enter. The subordinate leaned his head on the door. A cough paid his attention when he saw the doctor. For a short time he got hope. The thought, to tell lady Cassia that her older Sister and his supervisor would be soon alright, disappeared fast when he saw the expression of the female racoons face. Most of the time the doctors face was motionless. But now, it told him "The Doctor won't help us." Her face told that. But her thoughts were not there.

She thought about her past. A Team she was involved. Thought about a person. A man she once knew. "Could he…but, ten..." "Dam it!" She looked to the soldier. Again he knocked with his hand on the metal door with full force. The thoughts she had where gone for now and she searched with her right hand in one of the pockets of her coat. A white blank card appeared. "It will be faster that way. As a doctor I have the permission to open personal rooms. In case there is an emergency." He looked at her and gave the Doctor a small nod as a silent sign for "thank you". The metal door slid in the hollow of the left wall with a small whirr.

"Lady Cassia" carefully the Egg-Soldier stepped in the room. It looked normal, except that some objects laid on the ground, probably with force since some of them got damaged. "Lady Cassia" once again the Deer asked, this time more carefully, worried and nervous than before. "She seems to be, emotional. Which is relatable, many people would act like her, if they would be in the identical situation." The racoon doctor picked up a framed photograph. The Glass had due of being thrown on the ground a crack. "Did you hear that?" she looked to the soldier.

There were bumping, which came clearly from a little corridor that was on the left side from both. The door was, with no surprise made out of metal. But it looked "lighter" than the door before. Also it had a black golden coloured doorknob. Letters made out of clay. Which spelled "Cassia" and where glazed in green. Also there was a big red shield with the words "Keep Off! Especially Boys!". "She is in there. "Both, doctor and soldier nodded. The Soldier knocked on the door three times. "Lad-"

"GO AWAY!" The voice sounded more than angry, but also was it with sadness and a bit of frustration. "Leave me alone." Silent. Again. Relieved and a bit of nervous and stuttering the Soldier said. "I-It's Ok, that y-you are upset. B-but maybe later…later we could talk." the last words went completely nervous and nearly death silent out of his mouth. They planned to go but then, there was a little "click" and it didn't take any realizing for the Soldier to know that the Door got unlocked. With a little shuddering the Soldier opened the Door slowly. After it was big enough so he could slip in the room he went as fast as he could to the young Pronghorn, who laid in her Bed, her face half buried in her pillow.

They eyes looked like they weren't there, far away, somewhere else. Still the soldier made a sigh of relief. Cassia didn't look like she harmed herself. The silence was once again broken when the soldier blurted out "Lady Cassia, we got worried sick about you." It sounded more like a worried mother would say these words, instead of a subordinate. He set himself carefully on the edge of her bed, the doctor still stayed in the room. Observing and thinking about the thought she was thinking, since all this happened.

Thinking about a person, that was different from others. It was calm, but also it felt cold in the room. "I always thought it would be in the other way, I really want to help her." The often playfully on the other hand sarcastic voice got replaced by one. That was weak, frustrated, and also a bit hopeless. "I thought she would take care of me and not the opposite. I will grow older, and Clove…" Cassia let out a short gasp, Tears where running again down her cheeks. "…she will stay like that forever. She will stay in a bed. Everything around her will chance. I want to help her! Like a sister should! But what can I do to make it for her better! I want to help her, but I CAN'T! What kind of sister am I, if I even can't do that?!"

Anger overcome her and buried her sadness away for a short moment. In this short moment, she took one of her tonfa and threw it to the wall in front of her. The tonfa got not damaged, but in the wall there was now a little crack. Her head sank again in the soft pillow. The Soldier was speechless, helpless and nervous. Desperate he looked to the doctor. But in the racoons head, right now it looked as like as in the head of the deer soldier. She chewed a bit on her pen. Should she tell the young Pronghorn what she knew? Was there a possibility?

One part of her mind screamed at her NOT to do it. It was so long ago, she only would make false hope. The other part screamed at her to DO it. It was still something, still hope. This time the least part of her mind won the game. The Doctor gulped.

"My Lady, I might…what I have to say is." She took a deep breath. "What I'm telling you now, might give you hope. But, I can't promise that it will work. The last time I hear about him was ten years ago. I want to apologise my lady that I haven't talked about this sooner. But you need to know, the chances that it can help your sister are 50/50. When not even 15 against 75." "Wait what?!" asked the Soldier in confusion.

The doctor was a bit scared, would Cassia get mad at her. Screaming at her how she dared to give her false hope. Or why she wasn't telling her this at the beginning. Slowly the pronghorn got up. "Continue." It sounded neutral. Surprised she did was she was told. "W-well as I said, the last time I had contact with him, was ten years ago. Maybe he doesn't even live where I suggest where he is." "But it's still a Chance Fifteen against seventy-five? If, i-f there is a C-chance to help my sister then I want to help her. It's worth a shot right? So who is he?" "Milenko Hatzinger, that is the man, who I hope can help you."


(A/N) Well what can I say, Milenko Hatzinger, the guy seems to be the only hope for Cassia and her dear deer game friend. ;.-)
