Skye Prower

"No, he just turned Dylan onto a were-hog and set him on the rest of us, Dad. That's bad enough" said Melody. "And I hope he gets locked up too. At least until he learns to leave Anna alone. She's already confused enough between her two lives with him popping up as a constant kidnapping reminder."

"Yeah, I guess that's the difference. Skye's sorry. Fa... Miles isn't." ---------- "Not at the moment, but I'll wake him," said Anna, relieved that someone was here to help. She smiled appreciatively and turned to Miles. "Miles? It's time to wake up. There's someone to talk to you," said Anna, shaking him gently. Slowly, he stirred and opened his eyes. "Mina?" he asked in amazement, surprised at the situation he found himself in. "Please... tell me that was just a bad dream..." Anna averted her eyes, which was all the answer Miles needed.

"I suppose you're right, it won't happen for a while. But you don't seem to harbor any hatred to Skye despite the fact he also tried to kill you... and everyone else for that matter," said Melody. ---------- Ziona nodded to Glen then turned back to Zouge. "Yes, that's her. Let's see... Best cover everything. You might want to sit down. To begin, Anna in there, formally Mina..." Anna glanced away... "also had a breakdown, and as a result decided to stay here in the Prime Zone. Miles assumed she was under some from of control, and attempt to have Hope Robotnik break said control. Only for him to learn that she had been under no control at all, and he'd let Hope out of jail for no reason. On top of that..." Ziona began counting down from her fingers. "he's learned his crush doesn't love him, that his future was destined to go horribly wrong, he has only just started regaining memories of a family he'd forgotten, he's spent several days without food or sleep by the looks of things, and Hope... she injected him with something that..." Ziona took a deep breath. "You know he's an alternate of Tails. Well, now his missing something important," said Ziona in an understated way as she pointed out the detached tail. "Did miss anything?" she asked Zamy.

"Do you know anything of Miles' case before I go on? I don't want to retread known ground unless you want me too," said Ziona. "We've gotta get a picture of you with you're other alts here," called Anna to Zouge.

Skye shifts his flight style in midair, turning into a mini-tornado. With the sword still outstretched and whirling dangerously he slams into Layose repeatedly.

"Him," replied Ziona jabbing a thumb towards Miles cell. "The other half of the jail break. But I doubt he'll be doing any jail breaking for a while. He..." Ziona shook her head. "Your choice Glen," said Ziona, sounding businesslike. Anna looked up with the commotion outside, and seeing Zouge, unintentionally started giggling slightly. Miles was still sleeping. Those unaware of his reputation may have described the current situation as 'cute'.

"I always worry about you Glen," replied Ziona quietly, holding one hand over the radio's receiver. "And while Zouge is here we better not indicate that we're..."

"I think you may be able to join the team we currently have on hold," Ziona suggested. "They can still pick up our other prisoner." "And the sooner the better," she muttered under her breath.

"At last," Ziona muttered inaudibly. "Hello, this is Officer Ziona, assignment number PZ1062543698/C... I think... We've what should have been a standard arrest here that's turned into a major physiological issue. Do you have a free window to assist?"

"I really think you should leave rnow Glen. Her comments seem to be getting to you," said Ziona. "Hmm, though I think it might be fitting to make sure her cell has this Darn on-hold music piped through her cell 24/7."

"Must be wanting to spread her wisdom to her alternate," said Ziona. "I can't believe they have such obnoxious music on official channels."

"Do you want me to take the radio for a bit?" offered Ziona. "And you might want to check that Hope didn't just toss you a leaking capsule with bio-toxin in it or some-such." she added in a whisper. Inside the cell, Anna began very very softly and quietly singing a lullaby to the sleeping Miles.

Spinning his tails, Skye flew after Spark. ------------ 'Hmm, Hope could probably get her to talk,' thought Anna to herself as she continued to hold Miles. Then she became conscious that the fox had fallen back asleep a while back. Every now and then he gave a slight whimper.

"Seems like I'm getting too close to the truth then," commented Anna as she went back to comforting Miles, wondering if Hope would take the bait.

"I'll stick with regular flames then," said Skye. He spoke a few arcane words under his breath and fire gathered around his right hand then molding itself into the shape of a sword. ------------ "The thing is, I didn't really hate Dad. I mostly... just didn't care. It was Mother I... and yet, I just can't see her and Anna as the same person. Yet when it comes to Miles and Father," Melody said to Dylan. ------------ "So you see yourself as a benefactor, raising up those who in your view deserve it?" asked Anna

"Hey! I'm red!" Skye yelled back. "Are you colour blind?" He turned grinning to Spark. "Just about yeah, this guy vulnerable to fire too?" ---------- "Yeah, I remember. Which is kinda odd given the circumstances," replied Melody. "But...is it right to hate someone for something they haven't done...?"

"Then let start with that!" grinned Skye as he unleashed the magic he'd been gathering as a massive blast of light. "Hmm, hope I didn't overdo it there..." -------- Anna almost immediately reverted to her previous close to tearful state. "You don't wish to rule, you don't wish to be among the elite... So do you aim to bring about equality?" she asked.

"Then consider yourself lucky. I was looking for a way to disperse this excess magical energy I'd absorbed from the Syphon," said Skye with a slightly maniacal grin as he began charging energy between his hands. "Anything this guy is vulnerable to?" ----------- "Hmm, I am comparing him to my Father. Maybe right now he's not quite as capable," pondered Melody as she took another bite of her waffles. ----------- "Aww, not even any hints?" said Anna. She doubted putting on the act would accomplish anything, but if something slipped out it'd be worth it.

"I suppose it was time I was pulled into someones else head rather than dragging people into mine," muttered Skye looking around. "So, uh, what are the limits in here? Rules change from person's head to head... And I can't believe I'm saying that in such a matter-of-fact tone," commented Skye dryly. (ooc: In short, is this a 'you can do anything' dream fight or a 'you can do whatever you normally do' fight or a 'no superpowers, sorry' fight? And what does the inside of Spark's head look like?)

"Ooooh, this is either gonna go well or really, really badly," says Skye as he braces himself and grabs Spark's hand.

"Uh..." Skye hesitated, not sure what to do. "C'mon Spark, you can hear me. Open your eyes. Wake up!" he shouted, hoping it would do some good. -------------- "I would like to think that, but you never know with him," said Melody with a sigh. ------------- Ziona, looking worried, placed a hand on Glen's shoulder. "I think you should go now," she said gently. Anna was silent, studying Hope as she and Glen argued. "I know how to kill you," she spoke softly under her breath, confirming her idea to herself.

For a moment Anna's head started to lower, then she raised it and stared back at Hope, though her eyes were tear-filled. "I haven't forgotten about my past. And I never claimed to be more moral than you. A monster can still recoginse another monster. The difference is I'm trying to be something better, while you revel in it, twisting yourself even more with each experiment."

"Spark, can you hear me? There's more than sadness. Whatever is in there, fight it and wake up," Skye shouted

Skye returned to the kitchen and saw Spark in agony. "Spark? What's wrong? Tikal, did you see what happened?" ------------ Melody munched happily into her pancakes, then paused. "I though the prisoners would be gone in 5 minutes... Anna's been gone a lot long than that. Has something happened. Miles hasn't escaped again has he?" ------------ "I've lost everything," Anna managed to hear Miles say. "Everything that made me who I am is gone." "That's not true Miles," replied Anna, trying to sound comforting. She looked up at Hope. "Tell me, what make me a leech when I get powers as payment for work I do, and you're not when you steal powers after twiddling with a microscope?"

"Isn't radiation the normal accelerant in cases like these?" muttered Ziona dryly.
