Rika's Diary
As I pulled Shadow up so he could see what I was looking at, it started to move. The elderly man stood still, quietly laughing, looking at Shadow and I. I could hear his thoughts thanks to the power of the Black Emerald: 'My, my, my, how much fun it will be to destroy you Shadow and your little girlfriend too...' when my thoughts picked up on the word *girlfriend* I blushed slightly and felt my heart skip a few beats, I mean yeah he was cute, but he is SO out of my league. Shadow looked where I was and shouted in shock.
"WHAT!?" He shouted.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my best creation - Shadow - what happened?" asked the man tauntingly.
"Shadow who is that?" I asked.
"My creator." He replied quietly. Turning to his - creator - he said dangerously, "You created too many memories Robotnik, I remembered Maria...and what she really wanted..."
"Fine my little creation; let's see how you handle the new, improved, biolizard!"
"Bring it on!" he started to run towards the new biolizard.
"Shadow you're not alone on this!" I shouted dashing to catch up with him, my previous fear erased and replaced by a strong determination.
"Biolizard do my bidding, I'll steal the emeralds!" yelled Robotnik. I knew that there wasn't much time, I had to act now.
"Shadow can you handle the biolizard?" I asked knowing he was still weak.
"Yes! Go stop Robotnik and save the emeralds!" He snapped at me.
I dashed towards the shrine, my energy was slightly drained for some reason, I couldn't think of any other reason than the fact that I had used some of my magic power in Shadow's antiseptic. I got there and was immediately attacked from behind with a small energy ball. My first instinct was what I reacted on; when you're in this situation you don't have time to think. "CHAOS LIGHT!" I screamed, throwing a black swirl of light towards the biolizard. But that attack left me open to other attacks, as I found out when Robotnik jammed a needle in my neck. My vision started to blur and I became dizzy. The last thing I remember was the professor standing over me in victory.

I don't know how long I was there, hours, minutes? When I opened my eyes I saw Sonic standing over me smiling. "Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic, Sonic!" I said remembering he was jinxed.
"Thanks." He replied, with a slight laugh. I looked to my left and noticed that I wasn't at the shrine anymore, but somewhere else on the ARK. "Rika what happened?" Sonic asked.
I tried to explain everything but it was too painful, when I heard myself speak all I could say was, "Robotnik...biolizard...Shadow...Chaos Emeralds...The master emerald..." I said, feeling my consciousness start to slip away. I saw Sonic nod his head slowly as if he understood. "Where's Shadow?" I asked, remembering that he was fighting the new biolizard. Sonic suddenly went silent. "Sonic?"
"He-he's in a coma." Said Sonic, his voice dropping to barely a whisper when he said 'coma'.
"WHAT!?" I screamed, jerking upright, and then suddenly collapsing back down because of the sudden, sharp wave of pain shooting through my body.
"Shhh..." Sonic soothed, "Go back to sleep..."
My body felt weak and my eyes just closed as I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
*~*
My eyes fluttered open as I heard voices muttering outside my door - and the things that they were saying didn't sound good. I tried to look around to see who it was but I couldn't crane my neck far enough. But judging by the voices it was...WHAT!? NO WAY, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!!!
