Shadow the Hedgehog

"I'm fine thank you. I've got a drink and it looks like most of my things are packed. Are you OK? Being kidnapped can't have been pleasant." --- Crowley made his way over to the balcony. "Hello Red," he said plainly.

"It's fine. You think you're the first person to do that? Well you're not, and you certainly won't be the last. All in all things could have gone a lot worse. You're ok, and I'll be better in a day or 2, so it's ok." --- "Very well then," replied Crowley as he finished his drink and stood up, heading out of his room.

Rouge stayed still, knowing it would hurt to move, but looked to Anna as she took some painkillers. "Actually I'd say it's Miles' fault hon. If he'd have gone down like a good boy I'd be fine. Heck, considering no one noticed his disguise we could all be to blame," weakly replied Rouge. ---- "Knowing what Miles has done, the mere of thought of it sickens me to my stomach. How she could grow feelings for him I'll never know, he's never been a decent person. And the fact she tried to protect him after he nearly killed some of us makes it all the worse. Though I suppose you are right, I'll talk to her when she's more composed," said Crowley.

Shadow looked at Rouge who was beginning to stir. "It seems like she's waking up right now," he said as he moved over to her, painkillers in hand. ---- "Hate her? No I don't hate her. I'm just shocked, I thought I knew her, but now I don't know what to believe."

Shadow put down the clothes and opened the door. "Sure thing Anna." --- Crowley looked up from his drink. "Hello Melody."

Shadow looked up to the door then continued his packing. "Who is it?" --- Hope leaned back in her chair as Miles set off, a smile on her face. Once this fox had fulfilled his end of the deal, she would dispose of him promptly, and she had the perfect way of doing it already in mind.

"I see. I'll need some syringes and these chemicals." Hope then told them to Miles. "And I'll need some magnesium and something to light it with."

"Alright then. I suppose we have an accord. So how do you propose we leave?"

"Sneaking into a military base is far too risky. Preferably I'll just lure them to a location and keep them there somehow. Physical tests, as the name implies, requires someone to physically be there. Not something that can be done stealthily. And this way their magnificence won't be marred by foreign chemicals in their systrms."

Shadow nodded and chaos controlled back to the hotel, bringing the children, Hope and Red with him. He immediately went to his room and put Rouge on the bed, then opened the wardrobe and began to pack her clothes into her suitcase.

Shadow waited for everyone, anxious to leave. --- "Knowing their biology would help, but is not possible without capturing them. It's like capturing anything else, things like weight need to be known beforehand. Not an easy task by any means."

"Let's give them a minute then." --- Hope inwardly laughed. This boy was even more pathetic than he looked. Though he would prove useful. "Personality transplant? That's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard. Conditioning or perhaps an honest change of personality are far more likely. But no matter, I can wipe her memory. Getting her to 'love' you? Laughable, but easy enough with some mental conditioning. As for putting the ultimate lifeforms to sleep, that requires specific doses. Not too much, not too little."

"Good idea Melody," replied Shadow as he walked over to Skye, hoping he could take everyone back with him in one sweep. "Dylan, your teleporter still good to go?" --- Hope thought for a moment. This did sound too good to be true. "Two ultimate lifeforms? That is an enticing offer, but I fail to see how you could possibly subdue them. And what would you want in return?"

"Well it seems to have worked for most of them," said Shadow. ---- Hope Robotnik looked up from her meal and cast an eye over Miles; she was unimpressed. "Such a pathetic specimen. Why should I listen to you?"

"Sure it's worth a shot. If that doesn't work I'll flash my badge and tell them there's nothing to see here."

Crowley appeared in his room and exhaled before grabbing a drink from his mini fridge. Red's revelatiin was something he could have done without.

Crowley let go of Red and walked away before teleporting back to his room. He wanted no further part of this. Shadow glared at Red, but still waited for the girls' response.

"Good riddance," thought Shadow as he picked up Rouge. "Do you want a lift back to the hotel or are you waiting here a while?" he asked Melody and Anna.

"If you left you'd be giving yourself a death sentence. Besides, you have a family, a life here. The spanner in the works was Miles, and he's subdued and soon to be arrested. Things got a lot worse, so that means they should be getting better now."

"Best I can tell she tazed Miles but he somehow sent the electricity back to her, and because of the ensuing muscle spasms she couldn't take her finger off the trigger. She should be OK with some r&r, there aren't any burns thankfully. Still, it's my fault. I sent her after him. I should've just let her crack him in the head with her boot. But Red convinced me to try and bring him in less... physically damaged. Last time I ever take her advice," bitterly replied Shadow.

Crowley turned to Anna before turning back to Miles. "At least she's OK now," he thought to himself, glad the siruation seemed to be moving towards a conclusion. He practically had a heart attack when Red mentioned her feelings for Miles. How anyone could feel affection for Miles was beyond him.

"So long as you can guarantee he'll spend a long time in a cell, he's all yours my dear," said Crowley to Ziona, though he still maintained his grip.

Crowley looked over to Melody "You aren't hurt are you?" he asked, still maintaining his grip on Miles. -- Shadow gently put Rouge down as Hope scanned over her with her watch. "She should be fine. A few days rest will do her some good, and we'll need to treat that wound on her shoulder," she told him.

Crowley rushed over to Miles and brought his boot down on his ankle with all the force he could muster and grabbed his tails.

(OOC That's probably not the best course of action for her to take).
