Shadow the Hedgehog

"Ok, that should work. Glad to see you're all still alive." ---- "I know. And I don't think they were big on wheelchaor access back then. Do you know how much longer you'll be in it?"

"Yes, you should have. Now I get the joy of being slow cooked," said Zamy, managing to smile through the heat. ---- "I think ot's because they've just started work here. I'm sure they'll uncover something."

"If it's guards, I'll clobber them with... something. I don't have my baton antmore." ----- "A particularly ancient one that was recently discovered down south. They haven't evem found out who it's dedicated to, so something's off."

Zamy loudly exhaled. "This place is unbearable. That could be them, like you say. Let's head over," said Zamy as she started walking forwards, uncomfortably. --- "Well between you and me, I'm currently looking up information on a temple. This could be interesting."

I can imagine. If you can, tell them I'm still alive.

Zamy nodded and teleported them to Spark's zone. "You see them?" ---- "Sorry. I know you find it touching, but it would've involved destroying the universe. If Shadow does something rash for me by all means point out how crazy itbis."

"Ok, cast it when you're ready." --- "Well they both went to insane lengths to 'save' someone they cared about... in fact Skye was worse in his methods."

Very bad. I've been stuck here for what must be months. Very bad. I've been stuck here for what must be months.

"I can handle that. So long as we don't literally cook. Though I now wish I'd dressed lighter," said Zamy with a laugh. --- "I can't blame you, he hated his guts the other day. I just hope it all turns out okay," said Hope.

Naturally things just couldn't stay simple.

"I'm guessing a hazmat suit won't cut it?" --- "That's an unfortunate mishap. I suppose it could have been a lot worse. And Miles and Skye becoming friends is just crazy).

Yes, but ut's a close enough guess.

It was Mogul standing on a beach, so you're essentially right.

"Oh, that's right. They must've gone without you for some reason. At least we know where they are. Do you want a lift?" --- "Miles chose Zamy as a mother figure? I suppose if it makes him less crazy. And good to hear about you, not so much your sister. Does Skye make a habit of throwing curveballs like this?" joked Hope.

"He could have. But that doesn't explain why he's disappeared completely. Or told me about it." ---- "Miles? I thought he was going to Zone jail? But I'll let them know, thanks. What else has happened then?"

"But it's still there. He can't have done anything to it, could he?" --- Hope laughed. "No, just discssing something. I'm free to talk."

Zamy's face instantly turned to one of worry. "What!? Where could he have gone? He can't teleport or anything." --- "I'm not sure who the temple is dedicated to-" Hope was cut off by a loud bleeping. She picked up her phone and answered it. "Hello?"

No not that. You were right about the beach though.

Zamy waited up top for any of the others to return.

Yes, but what's on the beach?

Perhaps we should try again. Try and read my thoughts.

Zamy jumped when Skye spoke up. "Sorry, didn't see you there. Hmmm... he's not showing up nearby. He did say he needed to make some amulets with you. I assume he's gone to where you're using then already to start."

I'm not here to give you a biology lecture. And telepathy? Not a good sign. The Zone's getting more intricate in its methods.

I see..... I suppose that's less disturbing.

Your.... daughter!? How the heck did you end uo with one at your age?
