Shadow the Hedgehog

"It's made you a kid, but when we were kids I never saw you shove someone, especially not over something as stupid as a colour. I don't think it's made you the old you, if that makes sense." "I think leaving might be best," said Zamy. ---- "Are you OK?" asked Hope K.

"You were arguing over a colour!? This has affected you worse than I thought Ziona," said Zunnie, clearly worried about her friend. ----- "It shouldn't do, it is healing after all. If it works you should get feeling in your legs again soon."

"You didn't hurt him, I think. But something's wrong. As kids you never did this. What were you fighting about anyway?" ---- "5 minutes or so. Maybe more."

"I know, how Ziona don't shove Skye around," scolded Zamy. Zunnie hurried over. "What the heck are you doing gal? This isn't you. Not even as a kid." ---- Hope R walked behind Melody and lifted her shirt slightly. With a quick motion she jabbed it into the small of her back and pressed the plunger down.

"Thanks Miles." ---- Shadow gave Melody a lift out of her chair and sat her on the table. Hope K came over with a reassuring smile. "I hope this doesn't hurt much, but it is a needle going into your back. Hopefully the cells will repair it all fast."

"Well I did have one that I couldn't sleep without," replied Zamy with a smile. "And that's a good point. Magic was normal for him." ---- "It'll just do nothing. There's little risk involved."

"Whatever happened to normal kid things," joked Zamy. ------ "Yes you will. I just need to lift the back of your shirt up an inch, jab this syringe into the right spot on your back and see what happens. It will hurt, but chances are you will be healed rather quickly."

"What are they planning exactly?" asked Zamy. ------ "I thought as much. Lift her out of the chair and turn her over. I'm going to need to inject the cells directly into the damaged area."

"Ok fair enough." ---- "Or I could just destroy them and leave."

"Any idea what time you want to head back?" asked Zamy. ----- "I see. Well normally I wouldn't want to waste the cells, but given what they can do this provides a good study for my research," said Hope R.

"I think I have reason to," said Zamy. ---- "To fix her back. At the moment she can't move her legs," said Shadow.

"I'm the mistress of bad timing apparently." ---- "Now what are you using this for?"

"Ok. At least it can't get worse." ---- "Of course, I know what I'm doing."

"I just hope it doesn't lose its effectiveness." ----- Hope R set to work, and after a while looked up. "It's done."

"I assume you wish for my to isolate and store them?" asked Hope R. "Yes, that's the plan," replied Shadow. ---- "She has to look at it." Zunnie waved to Ziona and pointed to the locket, hoping she'd see. "Agreed. I'm just glad today's gone relatively well so far," said Zamy.

"Perhaps. It could have done a number of things to me, many of them rather unpleasant." ------ "Oh it's not your fault hun, it's mine. I'm trying to keep Ziona an adult. A picture I gave her seemed to be working," said Zunnie. "I think Dylan's totally become a kid, so nice work keeping Ziona with us. I just hope I don't have to explain all of this to Glen. He'd.either have a breakdown or hit on me." Zamy shuddered.

"Yes. It seems immortality stems from being able to produce these cells naturally, which is far more of an enigma than the cells operation themselves. My serum was more of an educated guess that by luck my body didn't reject." ----- "That's good, and wait what? You're kidding me. That can't happen." Zunnie came over. "This is the last time I zone out."

Hope R looked at the blood and at her own writing on the paper. "A stable form of immortality would take days or weeks, but I can see the cells that alow regenertion, it's remarkable. If you were to introduce them into a normal body they would repair the most damaged sections as much as possible before expending themselves." ----- Zamy used the tracker to find the group in the gift shop. "HI Miles, how you doing?"

"Good to see I still inspire fear," said Hope R. "Whatever. You're here to analyse my blood for the purpose of isolating what makes me regenerate." Shadow motioned towards the microscope. ---- Zamy waved then teleported to the amusement park and began looking for Miles."

"I have faith in him. I'm going to check on him after this anyway." Zamy teleported off and reappeared with Hope Robotnik standing next to her, handcuffed and in her orange jumpsuit.

"I really think he's turned over a new leaf. He seemed to be enjoying the experience. Anyway, are you ready for your guest?"

"He's doing fine at the amusement park. I'm looking after him but I doubt he'd want me there 24/7 over his shoulder."

"I'm sure you could Melody," smiled Hope. After a short while there was a flash as Zamy appeared, back in her uniform. "The prisoner's ready."

"You never know, it could still happen," said Hope. "Zamy will do what she can to get the release," said Shadow.
