Hey guys, I'm back with another chapter! Yay!

Chapter 10

Kiara's eyes slowly blinked open. She sat up, rubbed her head and looked around. "Wha-where am I?" She was in some sort of cage in a room she'd never seen before. "Hello? Mom? Dad? Tails? Sonic? Anybody?" She sat back and looked at the ceiling. "Great...looks like another wonderful act for Kiara...huh...getting caught again." Kiara said sarcastically. "How am I ever going to prove myself to dad, if the only thing I'm good at is getting caught and risking their lives for mine. I'm never going to be able to fight with dad."

"Aw, that's so heartbreaking." Said a voice from in front of her. Dr. Eggman showed himself and smiled deceivingly at her.

"Hey! I know you! You're that guy that yelled at me the other day!" Kiara said angrily.

"Clearly a misunderstanding. You see, I took you from the mean old cat in order to save your life from him and Sonic and his friends."

"What are you talking about? Sonic is my friend and so are the others."

"Now...how do you know that?"

"Because! They care about me. They all do."

"Are you sure? Or they could be just using you."

"No." Kiara shook her head looking at him for the first time scared.

"They know how much power you have. Think about how much power you'll have once you get control over it and you get older." Eggman told her looking deceitfully. Kiara thought looking at the floor.

"You're...you're lying!" Kiara looked at him angrily.

"Are you sure?" Kiara sighed and thought for a minute. "You have greater power than you realize and more power will come as you grow and are able to control them, even you know that and so do they."

"But..."

"But nothing. They've been using you from the beginning, since you were born."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Why shouldn't you?" Kiara was starting to get confused. "But don't worry, I can help you. I can make sure that not even Sonic can get to you."

"I don't believe you...I don't believe you at all!"

"Fine. But think about it...why would Sonic and his want a 7 yr old around them. The only reason they keep Tails around is to make him build their ships. Otherwise, Tails would have stayed back where he came from, Sonic would have had nothing to do with him. Just like all the others, Sonic's just using all of you. Knuckles he keeps to have his strength, Gabbriella, her power, Tails, his intelligence, you for your abilities of both Knuckles and Gabbriella, Amy, her hammering abilities, and Chris...Chris...well...Chris must be a snack set for later."

"You're...that's not true...Sonic loves everyone! Especially me!"

"Are you sure?" Kiara didn't know what to think anymore. Just then Shadow and Rouge walked up with an angered look on their faces.

"Doctor. We've dectected a craft coming towards us."

"It's Sonic!" Eggman screamed from under his breath.

"No, this time it's not." Rouge told him.

"What do you mean, some times I really think Rouge that you're going bats."

"The ship is too small to be The Blue Typhoon." Rouge explained.

"Then who could it be?"

"The X-Tornado." Kiara said to herself. "It couldn't be...Tails."

"Well...shoot it down, we don't want whoever it is to come aboard."

"Yes doctor." Shadow said as both of them left the room.

"Now...where were we? Ah yes. I want you to join me Kiara. Join the actual good side and there's no strings attached. All you have to do is help me destroy Sonic and his pathetic friends."

about a mile away in the X-Tornado

Tails sat in a chair and controlled the steering with an angry look on his face. "Don't worry Kiara, I'm comin for ya!"

in the control room of Eggman's ship

"You ready?" Rouge asked Shadow. Shadow didn't say a word, didn't even look at her. He just stood there on the other side of the room and gazed out the window, thinking of Maria no doubt. "Shadow!" Shadow shook himself out of it.

"What?"

"Are you ready or not?"

"Oh...yeah." Shadow walked over beside Rouge and they looked for the X-Tornado.

"Alright. Prepare to launch missiles."

"Target locked. Ready?"

"Ready. Fire!" Shadow pressed a big red button and a missile blasted out of the ship and headed toward the X-Tornado.

back on the X-Tornado

Tails sat calmly in the control room with the same angry face he had before. Just then the screen flashed red and the word 'Alert' flashed on and off the screen. "What the-" Tails said worriedly. The missle was coming straight for them.

There you go! Another chapter down only a few more before we rap this story up! Makes you sad, don't it? sniff Well...so long!
