When Darkness falls chap2
"Hehehe" Karen laughed nervously as she gazed up at the blue bot.
"Where do you think your going?" Mecha inquired with his arms easily sliding acrossed his chest; he pointedly looked down at her.
"Out of my way Mecha!" she growled as she stood up and prepared to shove the bot out of her way.
Mecha just shook his metallic head, "Your father's calling for you." He countered.
"Heh!" she scoffed crossing her own arms as she shot him a haughty look. "Either you get out of my way now, or I'll force you to do so!"
"He's just going to tell you about your new gym class, that I'll be teaching…" he trailed off.
Karen's eyes widened as she quickly back flipped and raced back to her father's office. 'Just what was her father thinking? Mecha the bot who hated her with a passion that tried to kill her on a daily basis was going to teach her physical education classes surly this had to be a terrible joke…' Her footsteps thundering on the floor as she ran. Once at the door she skidded to a stop and shot her grinning parental figure a furious look. "What is the meaning of this! There is no way I'll have Mecha teach my gym classes! I'd never make it out of them uninjured!"
Eggman had to bite back a bark of laughter, so that's how the bot had sent her racing back… "That is true, which is why I'd never arrange for him to do that…"
"But… Mecha said…." She questioned softly as the anger for her father deflated a bit.
"He obviously lied…"
Karen's eyebrow began to twitch at that conclusion, even if the bot hated her and had a glitch that made him more than happy to try and kill her, did not give him the privilege to lie to her. "Then there is no class…" she confirmed.
"No."
"Aren't you going to punish him?" she pressed tightly. Her fists clenched at her sides.
"Well since he did get you to come back…" he looked thoughtful, "not today."
Karen just let out a small growl in response. As Mecha just leaned against the wall coolly beside her.
"Back to the point Karen, your essays due today. Do you have it finished?"
Karen narrowed her eyes, "Of course not, Daddy there is no possible way for me to have a 500 billion page essay done for you, I only have 3 billion done."
He just shook his head in mock disappointment and raised a hand to rest distressingly on his forehead, "But you've had more than enough time, after all you started on this when you were 5 years old. So I guess I'll have to add another 50 billion pages on as a penalty for being late…" He then slid his figure apart enough to enable him to shift his eyes enough to gage her reaction. He wasn't disappointed. His daughter's mouth had dropped wide open and her eyebrow still twitched in out rage.
Finally shaking her self out of her stupider she told him tightly "More pages added on to it is the last thing I need. Less pages would make this whole project more productive."
Eggman fully looked at his daughter an evil grin covering his features "well… I suppose I might lower the total number of pages if, you were to… oh… say… clean the entire robotisizing room…" His grin widened when he saw the determined glint in her red eyes.
"Fine, but Mecha stays far away from me and that room, do I make my self clear?"
Eggman didn't let the smirk fall from his face for an instant, "no problem, Mecha will stay far away from that room."
"Good. The last thing I need is to be robotisized before my time." And with that said she turned to start about her task.

Meanwhile in the darker part of Robotropolisis, Shadow was less than thrilled, he was having a terrible time finding the chaos emeralds as of late it seemed like the remaining six had just disappeared. Grumbling to himself he continued on. The only good thing about the "doctor's" city was that Gun had no power here, so it was ideal for him to go to just to get away from his endless quest for revenge and the militaries never ceasing attempts to recapture him.
He continued his trek through the streets when a news report on a vid-screen in a shop widow caught his eye. A woman was standing in front of a construction site in Station square and was reporting about the great discovery of one of the legendary Chaos emeralds at the site. Shadow let a ghost of a smile cross his face as he absorbed the information. However when the lady announced that Gun had taken the jewel into custody he let out a low growl. Oh well looks like he'd just have to go pay Gun another visit…
