The tower landed on the opposite side of Arabia, a snowy landscape as the two landed the roof broke off. The tower itself rolled until it stopped.

Rouge picked herself up from the snow, her wings were wet and frozen so she couldn't fly or shield herself from the cold. the bat rubbed her arms trying to keep herself warm, then a small collar fell in front of her.

" Gem" she picked up the collar, she ran over to the cliff edge " GEM!" she called out. Her ears picked up the sound of small peeping. Behind her the snow started to move. she dahs over to dig into the pile.

" this is all my fault" she confessed " I've should of freed Tikla when I had the chance!" Then a small pink floating ball appeared. " Gem!" She cried picking up her white chao and sticking her into her dress pocket " are you ok?" She asked. The chao nodded but was to cold.

" I'm sorry sweety..." she got to her feet" I have to go back and set things right!"

As she walked she tried to keep herself and Gem warm , she couldn't fly in this weather, as she walked she stepped on something that froze. It was the carpet! The carpet must of snuck into the tower to help them out.

" Carpet!" She cried out, looking under the fallen building Rouge tiered to pull the carpet out but it won't budge. " Gem start digging" she commanded as she started to dig in the snow.

Gem was digging as well. When Rouge removed another chunk of snow she heard movement, not from carpet but from the building. Standing up she grab Gem and ran to the cliff edge to get away form the building, but when she look back she saw the window, instead she took gem in her arms and timed her spot. The building rolled over them.

The tower rolled off the cliff, Rouge and Gem were in the spot where the window was pressed against the snow, they survived. Gem fainted from the crazy plan. The carpet was free.

" Back to Arabia!" Rouge commanded as she and Gem got on the carpet and flew out of the cold area.

" Dance Sultan, dance" Kragok produced a small bundle of fire cracker, the Sultan was dressed as a harlequin. Kragok lit the firecrackers and threw them at the sultan's feet, the Sultan picked his feet up to avoid being burnt.

Lien-Da had redecorated the throne room to her liking, red pillars, the throne was in the shape of a feline head and roaring at any one, two torches lit on each side of the throne.

and next to the throne, chained to his knees wearing nothing but red pants was Shadow, his hands were cuffed behind his back and was forced to stay on his knees. he also had a collar around his neck and a chain leash to attached to Lien-Da's staff

" Father!" he called " Lien-Da enough!"

The female Echidna chuckled at her brother amusement but she held her hand out to stop him.

Shadow was pulled by the chain making him looking up at the wicked woman " my dear prince" she started " look at you on your knees begging, it so pathetic.. and yet" she turned the chain and collar around his neck into a crown " every Queen needs a companion" she held the crown to him.

" What do you say love" she batted her eyes " want to be my king?"

Shadow glared at the vial woman, instead he spit in her face. " ARGH!" she cried out. she glared at him " HOW DARE YOU!" she gave him a sharp slap across the face. he winched as his face stung from her assault but he wasn't going to let her get away with mockery of him.

Her anger faded for she had an idea " no.. The Genie" she looked over to Tikal she was cowering in a corner.

" I've made my third wish" she announced " I wash for Prince Shadow to fall desperately in love with me!"

The hedgehog couldn't imagine him falling in love with her! It was disgusting, He growled at the echidna woman for even suggesting such a revolting idea.

He prayed the echidna genie wouldn't grant the wicked woman's wish!

BEHOLD! SHIRTLESS SHADOW ACTION!

The moment you all waited for... The shirtless Shadow!
