Shadow the Hedgehog

"I understand hun. It's tough." ---- "I do yes. Though maybe we could set a trap."

Agreed. That'd be the last thing I need.

I can feel something. I think they're coming back, but this will take a while.

"You remember now? I don't like being the spoilsport, but you needed to know." ---- "Exactly."

"Try to remember Ziona. The pool changed your body into a kid, but you aren't one. Same for you Dylan." ---- "That might be best."

*catches Emerald* Thank you.

"Ya'll both be adults again in less than a week." ---- "I don't like how easy this is," said Shadow.

"Just don't get used to it." --- Shadow pushed the tablet over using his shoe.

"Sorry but you still can't go on it. You're not tall enough for the restraints to work."

"Not on a ride going 50 miles an hour in the dark." ---- "That's good to know, speaking of which Shadow's got another one."

"Those 'silly grown up rules' are there to stop you getting hurt." ---- "Ok, that's fair enough." ----- Atop the ruins, Shadow found the next tablet and Chaos Controlled back to the lab. ----- Rouge found the cave entrance and headed inside, moving quickly to cover the distance.

Thank you, so do I.

"I just got off the biggest one, but you're not tall enough and the line's pretty long." ---- "Yeah. Is that all the tablets?"

"You're welcome." ---- "Yeah. Oh well we'll manage."

That's good to see.

Zunnie sighed. "Fine." ----- "Thanks." Rouge checked the map for the cave system outside the city and teleported off.

"Up to you Ziona." ---- "It's worth a shot," said Rouge as Hope handed her a backup teleporter.

"Wouldn't you prefer new clothes Ziona?" ---- "Joy." sighed Rouge as she started looking through Shadow's desk and pulled out an oversized laser pistol. "Shadow built this whem he realised Chaos Spears weren't accurate at range, then never used it when he realised he never did anything at range. I figure I might introduce our god friend to it and see what happems."

"Because I don't want to risk anything, and you'd have no clothes for when you become adult again." ------ "Where is it? I'll borrow Hope's teleporter," she replied, her weakness fading.

"You ain't going within ten paces of that Ziona." ----- "Agreed," replied Hope as Rouge walked in.

"It wouldn't have mattered, you got shrunk and turned into a kid, not the rest of your clothes. And I'm fine thanks." ---- "Yeah."

"It sure is nice, I know. And in that case I'll have to get you some for the duration of you being like that." ---- "No, but I know of a cave syst em a mile or 2 outside the city. Maybe it goes roght under it."

"Hi Ziona." Zunnie hugged back. "You're gonna need to wash these clothes unless you want them glued to you," she joked. ----- "Hopefully. We just need to find an entrance."

Zunnie followed Dylan. "You stay here Zark and give me a sign when you find Miles." ---- "That's Mobotropolis. It must be underneath it. I've no idea how to find something underneath a huge city."

"Thanks. We should find them." ------ Shadow walked into the ruins, seeing faded hieroglyphics on the pillars and on the floor.
