Rika's Diary - Part 2

"Is everything in order?"

"Yes."

"Good, those fools won't know what hit them."

I kept listening as details of a plan got more and more graphic. They were planning to kill me and Shadow. I needed air, I can't believe it, we had trusted them so much. I heard the click of high heels as Rouge came into my room with Eggman.

"Rouge, who was outside? Like outside my door when you came in." I asked her, if I could find out then I might have a chance of stopping them.

"It was Amy and Knuckles, why?" she replied, curious as to why I would want to know.

"Oh I was just wondering, they sounded kinda distracted."

"Oh, ok."

"Listen," said Eggman, "We're going to need to find out about EVERYTHING that happened to you and Shadow, and no skipping parts, you're our only hope to figure out what happened, then we may have a chance of saving Shadow, if we know how to reverse the injuries, we can save him, if we don't then..." he trailed off

"OK, for Shadow." I said weakly. "Here's what happened..."

-FLASHBACK-

"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.

-END FLASHBACK-

"...and that's what happened...everything I can remember..."

"Thanks Rika, this will help...hopefully...for Shadow's sake..." Said the doctor

"For Shadow's sake it HAS to work!" I corrected him.

"We'll get straight on it Rika..." said Rouge calmingly, stroking my hair to calm me down, "...just rest for now..."

*~*

I re-awoke to a feeling of pain, like something sharp dug into my skin.

"AH! JESUS CHRIST MAN!" I yelled, jerking up, "WHAT IN GOD'S HOLY NAME WAS THAT???"

"AN INJECTION!" shouted Sonic back; he must be kinda ticked off, "AND DON'T YELL!!!"

"Ok!"

"Rika..." Knuckles started. "Guys I'll tell her."

"OK dude." Said Sonic as he led Amy, Tails, Rouge and Eggman out. I felt like shouting 'NO DON'T LEAVE ME WITH A FUTURE MURDERER!'

"Rika..." Knuckles started again

"Don't you 'Rika' me! I know what you and Amy are up to!" I snapped.

"You-you know? How did you find out?"

"I heard you and Amy talking outside."

"Rika, promise not to tell anyone..."

*~*

More Twists! Oh muahahahahaha! What WERE Amy and Knux talking about and WHO is plotting to kill Rika and Shad? Find out next time!
