Wow, 11th chapter, and still going! This is the one with the most words while the story that came before this (Shadow2Dark) is the one with the most chappies! Yayness!

Flare walked over to Kai, fortunately, he still remembered everything about what happened to her. He put a serious face on.

"Kai? Program safely copied and downloaded?" he asked.

"Yes, Master Flare..." she answered.

"Master?" everyone asked.

Flare had a nervous smile on. Tails suddenly gasped.

"She's half robotic! That's why she hid her arm away from us! That's why she knows about the R.I.O and the Resurrection program!" Tails said, finally noticing this.

Kai opened her eyes. She then gasped. Everyone now knew her secret. She had slight tears in her eyes... but she kept them from being seen. She ran out of the icebox and out the hole that Eggman climbed through.

Flare had a worried face on and ran after her.

"Hey... how are we getting the emeralds now?" Vinny asked.

Shadow shrugged. "Tails, try your hardest to counter that invention's power..." Tails nodded and took out his laptop.

"Umm... where'd that gray hedgehog go?" Jayln asked in curiousity.

Meanwhile...

Just a few feet away from the icebox, Kai was sitting on the floor, sobbing softly. She suddenly stopped crying when she heard footsteps behind her.

"Kai?" Flare asked her.

Kai looked away.

"Just like you told me, some people care for you..." he said.

"Just you... because you're like family to me... no one else cares... I have no parents, no siblings... no one!" Kai cried.

"Kai-onee (older sister or an older girl you respect) please believe me when I say... I've seen that gray hedgehog... he cares for you too..." Flare said.

He suddenly got a flashback.

Flashback

Flare looked at where Eggman was looking at and found out why he was wide-eyed. In the middle of the monitor was a gray hedgehog. The hedgehog walked up to the camera. He flipped the finger at the camera and disappeared in a mist of black smoke.

End flashback.

Kai stopped crying a bit. "Really?"

"And the one named Shadow, he-"

"Now, I know you're lying..." she sighed. "Shadow hates me..." she whispered.

"He actually respects that you risk your life to save his..." Flare said.

In the icebox...

"I got it!" Tails said.

"A way for him to remember?" Shadow asked.

Tails looked at him. "No... the thing that Eggman used was a Memory Absorbent Camera... or MAC for short... the only way to get his memory back is to get the same camera and reverse it's effect."

"DAMNIT! My life isn't screwed up enough?" Shadow asked.

Out of the icebox...

Near Kai, a mist of black smoke appeared near her. She smiled and stood up. Fear appeared near her with a worried look.

"Fear... please tell me your fear... I promise to go back in there to admit my fear..." Kai said.

Fear looked away. "I'm sorry... if Eggman were to find about my fear... he can use it against me..."

Kai sighed. Then she walked back into the icebox with the two boys following her.

Yayness! I still haven't revealed Fear's fear... so... people still wanna guess?
