Hey everyone, sorry about the late chapter, I was having technical issues with my computer and it ate my story Hides hammer behind her back Anywho, it's back and shorter than ever. I'll try and do better next time, My chapters might be getting shorter but with more discriptive words and grammer, but it depends. I know it is lame, so enjoy anyway.

"Boom!" Shmeeko said as she swung to another flagpole. She flipped around and gripped it with her tail. Shmeeko was wearing a fairly large belt around her waist, armed with what looked like ammunition for a pistol. She picked up three in one hand and flung them at the fleeing civilians. "Boom!" She said as the objects hit the ground. As soon as the metal came in contact with the cement, fire erupted from them like magma would a volcano. Debris shot into the air from the force of the blast. Shmeeko grinned manically in excitement "Boom Boom Boom!" She proclaimed erratically. She swung to another flagpole and gripped it with her tail again, hanging upside down and reaching for another miniature bomb.

"Bombing as a hobby? I don't think so." A voice said, interrupting Shmeeko's maniac glee. A blue hedgehog stood on an unscathed building, his arms folded across his chest. For a moment, fear flashed in the lemur's eyes. Hadn't the doctor said Sonic was dead? Shmeeko rubbed her eyes and confirmed that it wasn't Sonic, for his quills were raised and his eyes red. Shmeeko grinned again and stuck out her tounge as the Hedgehog leaped at her. She pulled herself onto the pole by her tails and flipped aside, throwing out her tail again to catch a lamppost's stand as she fell. She found herself hanging upside down again. Taking her breath in to tease the hedgehog, she noticed the fact that he was gone. She looked wildly around, spinning in time to have her vision thwarted by blue, than black.

"Ouch!" The hedgehog yelled as he skidded across the ground. Standing where the Hedgehog had first hit the dirt was a Panther, one Shmeeko was familiar with

"He he!" Shmeeko giggled, swinging around the lamp post and holding her feet like a child "Thankies!" She stated, and then flung herself back into the air, grabbing another hanging flag pole with her tail and releasing more bombs on the city. "Boom! Boom! Boomboomboomboomboom! BOOM! BOOMCHACALACALACA! Dance peeps', Dance!" The lemur earned a glare from Quarma as she said that, but she shrugged it off and swung into the air again, turning into an arch and dropping more bombs onto the streets. "Boom!" She declared, then content with her bombing, she flung her feet over her head in an aerial flip and landed ungracefully on the ground. At that time, a little buzz sounded in Quarma's ears, he reached up and felt the tip of his ears. Clipped to his right ear was a small speaker device, a communicator between him and the doctor. Eggman had refused to give Shmeeko one, afraid that she 'Trip' over a pen and break it somehow. So Quarma was stuck with the communicator. As he pressed the little speaker together, a voice emitted from the miniaturized speaker

"Quarma, Quarma! One of my sensors has picked up unusual readings from the edge of town, closest to the desert, I want you and Shmeeko to check it out, and report back as soon as you find out what's causing these readings!" Eggman yelled into the speaker. Quarma flinched at the noise level and covered his ears, before looking up to Shmeeko and motioning for her to come over.

"Whatssat?" She said in her twisted way of speaking. Quarma removed his hands from his ears and pointed in the direction of the desert

"Eggman wants us to go check out some nuisance on the edge of town." He explained slowly, so the lemur would understand. Shmeeko nodded violently then leaped into the air, using her tail to swing along the lampposts, giggling maniacally

"C'mon Quarms!" She yelled back to the panther, who was following on foot. Quarma frowned at being called 'Quarms' but with one last look at the fallen hedgehog and the destroyed city center, he smiled at their work, and followed the little lemur out of the city.

"Oh my god, what happened here?" Blaze said as her eyes took in the ruined scene. Large bits of debris were scattered along the sidewalk, craters were everywhere and buildings were nothing more than rubble. Espio had wondered off into a building to investigate the source of the damage. Kylo was merely walking around, kicking aside bits of rubble here and there, and scanning the ground with her eyes.

"Let me guess, the place blew up?" Kylo stated unnecessarily. Blaze rolled her eyes. As Blaze heaved aside a large piece of debris, she heard Espio call from the building. Both foxes picked their way across the square whereas Espio was standing in the center of a still standing building. He was crouched over a blue figure, for a moment Blaze suspected it to be sonic, but the figure was much different.

"Spikey!" Kylo said to the recovering hedgehog. The blue rodent was sitting up and rubbing his head painfully

"Stupid Lemur." Spike said, with a hint of laughter in his voice. Espio grunted and stood up, seeing as the Sonic clone was feeling better now.

"What're you talking about?" Kylo asked, tilting her head to one side lazily

"Some Lemur and Panther game here and bombed the place. I tried to stop the lemur…but the Panther stopped me and well here we are." Spike said angrily, rising to his feet and stomping out of the building. The trio followed afterwards as Spike continued to explain

"I, like you, heard the explosives and came to investigate, turns out the pair was bombing the place." Spike said "The lemur was fast in the air, swung around with her freakishly long tail. The panther is strong, and has quite a high jump and well, before I was smashed into a building; the Lemur spoke an odd version of lymric." Spike declared, turning around to face the pair of foxes who had followed. Kylo was planning on adding a sharp remark on the Hedgehog's loss of footing, but she was cut off as a bright yellow light illuminated the sky…

So…hot

I flared my wings and willed myself to continue

So…Tired

I felt myself loose altitude; I slowly dipped to the ground, getting closer and closer to the scorched sand floor of the desert. My black fur burned on my back and my large ears sagged. Before I had time to blink, my mouth was filled with sand and dust.

I can't die…I'm…Immortal…

I tried to force myself back to my feet, but my arms would not obey, they lay out of my sand-blocked view, lifelessly gripping the sand that threatened to ensure my end. A taunting voice emitted in my head

You may be immortal, but that doesn't stop you from feeling all the pain of dying…

I flinched; the voice was odd to my ears, it sounded exactly like me, only with an edge of power, an edge of confidence, that I'd never had. More of the dry sand entered my mouth as I breathed in, at almost the same time as my ears picked up a crunching noise

Footsteps?

The sound of footsteps edged closer to me, I felt a hand on my neck, pressing gently into my throat,

Checking if I was alive

I groaned and the hand instantly retracted, shooting away from my body. But the feeling came back again, as the same pair of hands helped me to my feet. Instantly, I realized I was letting others help me. I flinched, the strength flowing back into my body by an unseen force. I stumbled backwards, ducking away from the helping pair of hands, before resting my eyes on the figure that had stopped to help a stranger. It was another bat. Her wingspan not as large as mine, but still significantly large. The female was wearing a white T-shirt with a tank-top over it, and a pair of blue jeans, topped with Red shoes that had heels of yellow. The bat's fur was a deep orange, though her wings remained black. Her face looked fragile; she had a few bangs pushed to the side, and blonde hair flowing to about shoulder length. Her eyes were a light green and her muzzle was tinted and bright, then, it bore a smirk at my shielded actions. I felt awkward, suddenly standing in the midst's of one so beautiful, yet still one of my own kind. My guard rose instinctively. I flared my wings, wondering if I should attack my 'Savior'. But she just grinned back at me. I felt my face redden with embarrassment. I was acting like a kid again! I decided to try and come up with something to say

"Uh…" The other bat grinned

"You're welcome" She said slyly.

"What, I have nothing to thank you for!" I retorted crossing my arms over my chest and turning away slightly, but keeping my eyes fixed on the bat. The female smirked

"Sure you don't. Next time, I'll let you sit in the sand and burn." She said, still smirking with one hand on her hip. "Before you find some other way to insist I didn't help you, I'm Claire." The other bat shot out her hand in greeting. I took one look at the hand, but didn't take it. I wasn't one for flashy greetings. I hesitated before telling her my name

"I'm….Migro."
