*Shadow walks into dark room and flips light, sees Dusk*
Shadow: What are you doing here?
Dusk:*looks around nervously* Hiding from Sonic.
Shadow: Why?
Dusk: This chapter is the worst. And, unfortunately, it's Sonic's favorite.
Shadow: Why?
Dusk: Think, Sherlock Holmes!
Shadow: OOOOOOHHHHH... ^o^
Sonic:*runs in, spots Dusk* Hey, Dusk, do the disclaimer.
Dusk: MandyTheHedgie doesn't own Sonic the Hedgehog, just ideas.
Sonic:*sniggering*Doesn't that mean she owns you?
Dusk: -_-*
Sonic: -_-'
Skating through the landscape, I looked back. My "nemisis" was still right behind me, angry red echidna right next to him. I had been sent to steal the Master Emerald and, mysteriously, Shadow knew what was gonna happen. "Do you have any idea what you're doing! Give me the Master Emerald, NOW!" cried the echidna. I grinned at how perfect this was. Man, oh man, was Metal gonna freak! Or... So I thought.
Since I was watching my rear, I forgot about in front of me. Something spin dashed me, HARD, causing me to collapse. Coughing, I stood up, and immediately collapsed again. Pain shot up my leg, telling me that, somehow, I messed up my leg. BAD. This was very bad. I couldn't get away! "Look's like you could use some help, kid." said a very cocky voice. I looked up and saw the oh so famous Sonic the Hedgehog. He continued, with a cocky smirk, "But you were taking the ME, so, sorry can't help ya."
I heard Shadow skate to a stop next Sonic. He looked from me to Sonic and back again, confused. I groaned in frustration and pain. I wished he would hurry up, my leg was starting to hurt really bad. I inspected it. It looked pretty bad.
Okay, confession time. I was trying to get caught. That's why I purposely woke up Knuckles. All it took was a conviently, accidentally, kicked rock that plopped on his nose. However, my plan did NOT involve getting hit by a certain blue hedgehog and ending up with a broken leg! I heard Knuckles walk up next to me. He knelt down, ignoring my hostile look, and inspected my leg.
"What are you doing?" I asked hostily. "Checking your leg. Even though you took the Master Emerald, your leg does look pretty messed up." "Oh... thanks?" I didn't get it. This guy probably hated me, and yet he was helping me? This was weird. He poked my leg, causing me to gasp at the wave of pain. I looked over in Sonic's direction to find him staring at me. I glared at him so hard, he turned away with a veryguilty look.
My smirk of victory dissapeared when I overheard Shadow say "So it's agreed? You'll take her, just in case this is one of Eggman's plots?" "Yup." replied Sonic. "Oh, joy." I said sarcastically. Shadow looked at me and said " Is there a problem, Dusk?" I just gave him my most inoccent look and said nothing. "Hmph. I should probably send her on ahead. Sonic, will you contact the other Freedom Fighters? I don't want to be attacked like last time."
"Sure thing, Shads." Sonic took a look at the communicator on his wrist and said, "One second." He walked off, poking the thing. Muttering evil things about the two hedgehogs, I glared at Shadow. Knuckles was stifling laughter at my situation. I turned to him and said "Oh, shut UP!" He stopped immediately. Sonic walked back and said "Okay, Shadow, you're good to go."
As Shadow walked over, I laid my ears back against my skull and tried to make myself as inconspicuous as possible, even though I knew it was hopeless to do that. He grabbed my arm and hoisted me up. Trying not to cry out from the pain, I fought the urge to pass out. Shadow said "Chaos Control!" The next thing I knew, I was in an underground room, surrounded by a ton of other people.
A chipmunk with a blue vest came toward and said "Shadow, if this doesn't work, I'm gonna kill you." "It should work." he replied casually, "After all, if this was a plot of Eggman's, he'd expect us to take her to a GUN prison. And Sonic agreed with me that this was a good idea." I felt someone staring at me and looked around. I saw a little rabbit, about six years old, looking at my leg with a concerned look on her face. She cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention. She said "Um, maybe we should take care of her leg first. It doesn't look very good." "Oh, sure Cream" replied the chipmunk.
A cyborg rabbit popped up and took Shadow's place at my arm. She led me away, with Shadow staring after me. The moment we were out of his sight, I started hopping on my good leg, holding my bad one in the air. She chuckled and said, "So, why were you stealing the Master Emerald? Usually Eggman has more sense than that." We reached a door and she shoved it open, practically dragging me through. She let me go when we were in the middle of the room and told me that the doctor would be here soon.
After she left, I took a look around. The room was nice, but I knew I was a prisinor. But the bed looked comfortable. I hopped over to it and sat down carefully. I saw a couple of books on a shelf next to the bed. Great, I would never be bored. Someone opened the door, causing me to look up. It was a duck that was obviously the doctor. He took a look at my leg and inhaled sharply. "That's a pretty bad break, young lady. If you don't mind, I'm gonna have to remove your shoe." "Sure, whatever." I replied
(Thirty minutes later)
"All done, young lady." Doc said. He grabbed his tools and said, "I'll give you a shot for the pain." After giving me said shot, he left, leaving me alone in the room. The meds set in surprisingly quickly. As I started to pass out, I thought briefly to Metal. I hoped that he was OK. The last thing I saw was a blue chao with a red bow tie.
