Spike the Hedgehog walked down to the Restoration workshop, fully expecting to find her friend down there. She wasn't a traditional woman by any means, long eschewing the usual pants and shirt most female Islanders wore in favor of a bare look, but she couldn't resist the fine leather jacket she currently had on. It fit well with her punk aesthetic and attitude. "Ah, there you are!"
"-Spike.-" Cyber replied, flatly acknowledging her friend while working on a new charging holster for Jack's energy sword. A local girl, a wooden robot named Belle, was happy to assist, though even she seemed put off by Cyber's new demeanor. Spike quietly asked the puppet girl for some privacy, to which she obliged. "I heard about what happened, Cyber. I'm sorry."
"-Sorry isn't going to fix anything.-" Cyber said. Spike crossed her arms. "So, some of the fellas upstairs said Tails' files on the Chaos Emeralds got raided. No idea who did it, obviously, but they DID mention that it seemed to be by someone familiar with his stuff..." Spike absent-mindedly picked up a grip Cyber and Belle had completed for the sword earlier. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would ya?"
"-Not a single thing.-" Cyber answered, coldly, as she yanked the grip out of Spike's hands and placed it on the sword before loading both into the new holster, powering it up with a hum.
"Cyber, I know what you're trying to do."
"-Then don't try to stop me.-" Cyber said, hooking the harness and Jack's Wispon onto her back and trying to walk out of the workshop. Spike held her hand out. "Cyber, wait! You can't do this!"
"-So what? He can just get away again to hurt more people? No, I'm ending it now! ENDING HIM.-"
"Look, I was with Jack not long after he lost Sarah. I know how far he went into that abyss. You just BARELY managed to pull him out of it!"
"-AND NOW HE'S GONE!-" Cyber shouted. "-Now...They're BOTH gone. Everything I've ever known has been taken from me, replaced only by this...this burning emptiness, right down to my core!-" Cyber held a hand to her heart, emphatically. "-Don't you understand? THIS is all I have left!-"
"MURDER is all you have left? Is that what you're saying?" Spike interjected, shocked by what she was hearing. "That doesn't sound like anything the Cyber they knew and loved would say!"
"-Yeah, well...-" Cyber said, pushing past the hedgehog. "-Maybe THAT Cyber died along with them.-"
Sullenly, Spike looked over at Lady Chao, Raccoon's beloved plush backpack, just sitting on a nearby desk. She picked it up and held it close. "Oh, Jackie...What have you left your girl to?"
