Shadow the Hedgehog

"I should think so. I still need to work out where the new arrivals will go." ----- "Exactly."

"I can imagine. Where's Miles?" "He's gone to prepare the next batch," said Zamy. ------- "Exactly. But against archers and catapults it's not so good."

"Exactly. You learnt quickly," smirked Shadow. ----- "Yeah, they were for use against cavalry. And I guess charging infantry too."

"Harmony's quite right. You only ever need to be fearful if I'm angry." ------- Hope headed inside. "Those pikes they used to use look pretty unwieldly."

"Good, that means I'm doing my job right." ----- Hope giggled. "Shall we head inside?"

"Relax, I was joking." ------ "It really does. Apparently this is where traitors were brought."

Shadow gave Skye the most sinister grin he could for a good 10 seconds, then took his normal expression with a slight laugh. ----- "Yeah, there really are. I guess it helps with the image as well."

"Would you prefer the term guinea pig?" ------ Hope took a few as well.

"It really is. Let's head inside after a few pictures." ----- "I've brought the test subjects," said Shadow in a sinister tone.

Shadow headed back to the pool. ---- "I think we've reached the tower."

"Thank you. I think it might help you if Glen came along." ------ "Hehe, we can always do that later," laughed Hope.

"Yes, you'll be split. I should warn you the process will be rather painful." ------ "I almost wish some idiot mugger will show up."

Shadow eventually found her and Glen. "Hello Ziona. Would you mind coming with me? Miles has found a way to get you back to normal again," he asked. ------ "Sometimes I don't even know how I do it. If one more person tries something like that here I swear I'm gonna tase them."

Shadow headed to where he had seen Ziona was on the tracker. ----- Hope quickly helped Melody get away from the onlookers, nearly getting hit by a cab as she tried crossing a road. "Even here you get idiots running red lights," she muttered.

"I see. To say your Zone sounds crazy would be a rather serious understatement. Anyway, we should get getting. I'll grab Ziona on the way back." ----- Hope hurried along the route, doing her best not to get knocked down by the hordes of people on the streets.

"Oh yes, sorry. I can see the route on the map. Let's go." ----- "Why did this Sasha enter him in the first place? What possible justification is there for taking over someone else's body when you have your own?"

"How could you not know? And more importantly, why didn't you try to leave when you realised?" ---- Zamy sighed. "Ok Miles. Don't be surprised if you find two dead bodies when you come back."

"If you mean the personality that's hijacked Skye, apparently it is safe for them. Miles would've been a lot quicker if he just focused on recovering the original personality." ----- "Will the two of you stop bickering like school children? I don't like having more people here anymore than you Dylan, but he's here and there's nothing we can do about it."

"This way, he's at the pool." ---- "Tower? We could visit that." ----- "Will you please stop whining. What you've been through is nothing."

"Hello. Miles has got something working that'll return you to normal." ------ "See anything you like?"

"Where to next?" asked Hope, holding out the map. ------ Zamy put the chip in. "Be glad you can tell what was really you and what wasn't Dylan." ----- Shadow found Skye's room and opened the door

"It's ok. I won't hold a grudge," laughed Hope. ----- "I'll get them," said Shadow, glancing at the tracker before setting off. Zamy went over to Dominic to put in a tracker. "I think the old one's still in Dylan."

"Yeah, yeah, you've made your point Melody." ---- "I hope so, I need Ziona back," said Zamy as Shadow arrived. "I see it was a success. Shall I retrieve the others for seperation?"

"Er, a minor hiccup at best." ---- Zamy turned to Harmony. "No, Miles made a cure, Dylan is his normal self again, and the personality that poasessed him gained a body." ----- "We may as well," said Shadow as he headed off.
