Shadow the Hedgehog

"I've no idea. There's about 100 cells." --- "Yeah that looks pretty complicated."

"A charger." Zamy pulled out another box full of power cells. "These are for my pistol. You put the cell in like this, press that button, and when the light is green the cell is charged and you move onto the next one," she continued, demonstrating it. "You're going to charge the rest of them.' --- "Having the more critical areas less accessible," she explained, stepping inside.

"Thankfully I don't have to deal with that from now on," replied Zamy, getting out a large cylindrical device that she plugged in. There was a small opening in the front. ---- "Ah ok. That makes a bitmore sense," she said as she opened the door.

"All their hyperbole about being ninjas is at least obvious given their reactions. Not exactly calm and collected." ----- Topaz headed to the TV room. "This place is laid out more like a hotel than a base."

"That chameleon sure sounded like one back there. And I still vividly remember Miss 'I don't take orders from hedgehogs'." ---- "I'm ok, I've already eaten."

"Nobody died or even got serioudly hurt. A couple of those cocky brats just had their pride hurt." --- Topaz shook her hand. "I'm sure we'll meet again. Where to now Melody?"

"You were all equally to blame. Not just you." ---- "Not at all. It was nice meeting you."

"Miles, I'm not here to pull teeth. Don't you think you're overreacting just a little?" --- "In time you'll move on completely."

"That little brat back there's given me a headache," she muttered to herself, before kneeling fown in front of Miles. "Miles, please look at me," she said softly. ----- "There's nothing wrong with that. Whatever you did wherever you're from, you don't have to anymore."

Zamy teleported back to the apartment. "I really hate that place sometimes." ---- "Any time off is still a nice thing."

Zamy started punching in the coordinates. ---- "Well I have used a bit here and there."

Zamy checked her watch, clearly wanting to be out of Haven. ----- "I might be able to get a month or two more likely."

"I hope so." ---- "Luckily I can."

Zamy turned to Ziona. "You sure we shouldn't let HQ process them?" ---- "Once the good Doctor is in our hands I'll probably take a vacation somewhere."

"Alright." ---- "I've never really been out of the UF except on missions."

"No buts. It'll do you some good." ---- "Yes. Friend and colleague. I'm a soldier at GUN, if the uniform didn't give that away."

Zamy sighed. "All because of that pool starting the ball rolling. Miles, you're coming back with me. You won't be coming here for a day or 2." ---- "Good to know."

""They're fine apparently. For all their posturing about being 'warriors' they're not exactly very tolerant to pain. For 2 boy geniuses the fact neither of you could foresee what happened is quite alarming." ----- "As long as you can manage here."

Zamy headed to the TV room. ---- "It sounds like sanity is the exceptuin to the rule."

"Shall we do this in another room then?" ---- "So I heard," smiled Topaz.

"That's up.to you." ---- "Ah yes. One of the many new arrivals. Surprising the people who run this place let anyone in here honestly."

"I get pulled from a molehunt for this?" thought Zamy. "Ok Ziona. I'll have a talk with Miles and Skye," ahe said aloud. ---- "Thanks Melody." "So, what do you do here Anna?" asked Topaz.

"I see. Very well, I'm coming now." She put on her teleported and teleported to Ziona's location. ---- Hope shuddered. "That'd be a fate worse than death."

"It was fun until the werewolves! Though once again it was my brilliant technology that saved us all.... along with whoever invented metallic cartridges. But mostly me!" laughed Hope. ---- Zamy reached for her radio and switched it on. "Hello, what is it Ziona?"

Hope shook her head. "We were heading to the Kingdom of Acorn when they was a sudden surge near the Master Emerald. Sent us to another Zone."
