"Oh no!" Tails yelled looking out the window, "Where'd he go?"

Amy jumped up, "What? Sonic's gone?"

Annalise looked concerned, "Uh oh..."

"What...oh crap," Kira said.

Eggman's ship had reapeared behind them and they saw that Sonic was battling with Eggman. Only, it wasn't Eggman. Kira's heart lept and chills went down her spine as she saw her favorite Sonic character that she also had a major crush on: Shadow. Her hands flew up to her mouth, to surpress the fangirl scream that had erupted in her throat, and watched as the two hedgehogs fought eachother.

"Shadow's back," Tails noted.

Kira just sat and stared, "Ohmigosh...ohmigosh..."

"Kira are you okay?" Annalise asked.

She blinked, "I-i'm fine."

Tails turned the X-tornado and shot some lasers at Eggman ship, "Wait!" Kira yelled.

"What?"

"Sh-Sonic's still on there," she pointed out, "He might get hurt."

Tails immediatly stopped firing, "What do we do?"

"Don't you have a ring or something?" Annalise suggested.

"Good idea," Tails praised, "Sonic! Catch!" he yelled launching a yellow ring at his friend.

Sonic grapped it and knocked Shadow down. Kira felt chills run down her spine at the epicness of the whole thing. Shadow got back up and knocked Sonic off the side of the ship.

"Sonic!" Tails yelled diving down.

He caught Sonic on the wing and they flew off. Kira sat back in her seat, breathing heavily, and still processing what had just happened. Holy crap, she thought to herself, he's really here...ohmigosh I'm gonna die from epicness!

"Kira, Kira!" Amy shouted.

"Huh?" she jerked out of her daydreaming.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Amy asked.

"I'm fine," Kira insisted.

Annalise grinned, "I know why you're acting so weird."

Her face fell, "Don't."

Annalise laughed, "Don't worry."

"What's going on?" Amy demanded.

"Nothing," Annalise said innocently, "Hey Tails, which button is it that shoots the lasers?"

Kira smiled, she'd almost forgotten about Annalise's 'secret' crush, "Hey Tails, where are we going?"

"I dunno," he admitted, "I was just trying to get away from Eggman and the government."

"Don't you think we should land soon?" she asked.

"I guess. I think I see a spot down there," he said pulling the X-tornado down.

They landed in the middle of a corn field and Tails shuddered, "Are you okay?" Annalise asked.

"I'm fine," he said quickly.

Kira suddenly felt bad for him. He'd almost gotten killed by one of Eggman's robots, FunFun, in a corn field. She looked around and saw that there was a small shed not to far from where they were standing.

"Let's go over there," she suggested pointing at the warehouse.

The others nodded and soon they were standing in front of the shed. Kira cautiously opened the door and stepped inside.

"It's all good," she said, turning a light on.

Everyone was soon settled on beds made of hay and snores filled the air. Kira tried to sleep, but something was telling her to go outside, so she finnally gave up, and crept to the door. She quietly opened it and stepped outside into the cool night air. She looked up at the stars and smiled contentedly.

Something moved, suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, and she moved to examine it. She rounded the side of the farmhouse and almost fainted. Shadow was looking directly at her and he scowled. She just stood there petrified, unable to move at the sight of her crush.

Ohmigosh, ohmigosh...she thought frantically, what do I do? She blinked stupidly and began to step back as she remembered who Shadow was working for. She stumbled over a rock and landed roughly on her behind.

"Ow..." she muttered, attempting to push herself up.

She saw something stop right beside her and she looked up to see Shadow gazing down at her. Her mouth hung open, stupidly, and her breaths came out short and quick.

"Shadow, what are you doing?" Eggman asked suddenly appearing.

Shadow grabbed her roughly and goosebumps rose on her arm. Eggman grinned and Shadow took her onto his ship.

"Hello, young lady," Eggman said wickedly.

Kira looked quickly from him to Shadow and back again, "H-h-hi."

"What are you doing out here?" he asked.

She looked at Shadow and gulped, "I-i'm running."

"Why?"

She gulped again, "I-i-i found Tails and Cream in m-my b-backyard."

"Ah...so you're one of the girls that's helping Sonic and the others," he noted dryly.

She gave a small nod, "Y-yes."

Eggman's face broke out in a large grin, "Perfect. You'll do nicely."

She backed up into the side of the Egg Carrier as Shadow advanced towards her.
