File 5- Maria; ver 1:dot:oh
Entry 4- Survival of the Fittest
Miserie tripped over her feet and landed face down on the ground. She pushed herself up, feeling slow and stupid. "If I don't…If I don't get out of here…" She whined to herself, getting back onto her feet.
"I swear, she listened before," Miserie heard Amy. Not far off! Miserie took a step, but she knew that the robots behind her would catch up before she could reach them.
"I have to do it…I have to fight them off." She murmured sadly. She turned around, shaking in fear. The first robot that reach her was swinging a huge cleaver. "Wah!" She cried. But she couldn't run away, because she couldn't depend on her feet anymore than she could depend on the robot suddenly falling in love with her. She set her face, and whirled around with her two tails hitting her target like a knife. She turned to see the robot broken in two pieces. "Eiyah!" She cried at her work.
Even as she cried, she could hear Shadow far off, saying "What was that?"
Still more robots were coming. A Robot wielding a hot wax gun threw Miserie to her haunches. It pointed it's gun at her, it's metallic finger lingering only a second over the trigger before she kicked it out of it's hand. She got up as the robot hurried to it's gun, and slammed her body into it's body, making it land on the gun, which fired a hot sticky shot of glue onto the robot, securing the robot to the ground. Miserie couldn't look at her work this time, she had to launch herself into another attack. A white robot was thrown by her tails into bushes, followed by a green one, and they were crushed under s rock thrown by a gigantic blue one, that was finally defeated with knife like swings from Miserie's tails.
Miserie heard Amy now: "We're closer, I can see her! Miserie!"
"Amy!" Miserie whirled around. "Shadow! Amy!" She cried, hurrying their way. But the earth trembled when a boulder smashed into the place where Miserie once was. Miserie sprawled on the ground, looking back at the boulder. A shadow passed over the boulder, and… "Oh, no!" Miserie cried as a second boulder shot over her head, about to land on her. She tried to get up, but slipped in the mud.
A flash of yellow and the boulder hit the ground. Miserie's eyes were squeezed shut automatically. She felt her eyes well up with tears.
"Miserie! Are you okay? Speak to me, Miserie!" She heard Amy, but Amy sounded so far away.
"Here, take her. Doctor, these are YOUR robots." Shadow said, and Miserie felt herself resting on the ground.
"Well of course they are my robots! Have you any idea how long that take to build?" The Doctor said.
"For you, I'm sure the time just flies," Amy said wryly.
Miserie slowly opened her eye. She had her head in Amy's lap, and the rest of her body on the ground. She looked over at Shadow and the Doctor, who were arguing over the robots.
"I said DON'T!" the doctor yelled.
"They're attacking US, and we saved you! If I don't destroy them, I'll destroy you!" Shadow threatened.
"…Amy." Miserie said, getting up. Her head hurt, probably from being jostled up from the ground so quickly.
"Oh, Miserie!" Amy hugged Miserie happily. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. My head kinda hurts." Miserie said. "Amy, I saw the ship…it was really big, and all the Robots were fixing it…"
"Oh?" Amy said. "How far away?"
"I'm telling you, you little hedgehog, you're not destroying my- GET BACK HERE!" The Doctor struggled to his feet.
"Not very far. I can't run very fast. I don't know why. I trip and fall. Amy, why do I trip so much?" Miserie asked. She felt woozy. Not only did the destroying the robots get to her, but the running and the boulder and everything! She was emotionally drained.
"I don't know. Have you tried flying?"
"Flying?" Miserie asked. She shook her head. "No."
"Tails can fly…" Amy said. "I think you can too."
"Just who is this 'Tails'?" Miserie asked. "He seems like he can do everything."
"You two are alike, that's all. He's smart, has two-tails, and he's…how old are you, Miserie?"
"I don't know. I don't know anything about myself." Miserie said. "I'm smart?"
"Of course you are, Miserie!" Amy said. "Remember how you figured out what was really going on with the Emeralds? Only a genius could figure that out!"
"…But could a toy figure that out?" Miserie insisted.
"A toy? Well, it can't be an ordinary toy. What kind?" Amy asked.
"…A plaything…just something to play with." Miserie said. "nothing special."
"I don't think so, Miserie." Amy said. She opened her mouth to continue, but Shadow interuptted.
"Hurry, Amy, Miserie! Grab the Doctor and get out of here!" He commanded.
"But!" Miserie cried.
"No way, Miserie!" Shadow silenced her. "You're not gonna wait here for me, or get hurt or anything. Just go!"
Miserie glanced at Amy, who was helping the Doctor walk.
"OR you could move your feet," Amy was saying.
Miserie looked back at Shadow. "You're coming with us, Shadow…" She trailed off. "Right?"
Shadow nodded. "No problem, kid." He smiled.
"Okay." Miserie smiled back. "I won't let them leave without you, Shadow!" She said. Then she ran over to Amy.
"I don't need any diet!" the Doctor said indignatly. "And I'll get one of my robots to fix these wounds!"
"They mutiny." Miserie said to Amy. "That means that they are rebelling."
"right." Amy said. "Let's get to that ship now."
Miserie looked back at Shadow, who was busy fighting Robots off. She stared at him for a couple of seconds, but then she turned back to help Amy.
'If He leaves without Shadow, I won't forgive him…Even if his last name is Robotnik! I won't!' Miserie thought, and then she helped Amy and The doctor to the ship
