Shadow the Hedgehog

"Ok. Come on Miles, let's head back."

"If you say so. Right Ziona, you need any help here?"

"That would require getting inside them, which is difficult to say the least. And I think that's a bit of an exagerration Harmony. It's steel, very good steel by the looks of it, but it's not going to cleave through a tank."

"Come on Harmony. You wanted to be treated like the children. And as grim as it is, none of the weapons any of you carried would be effective if Eggman's robots showed up out of the blue."

"It's her knife I think. I believe she has one."

"So far so good."

"Well if it all goes horribly wrong we know who to blame," said Zamy jokingly.

"I see. Well it's better than the alternative. Thanks for doing it."

"Mostly? What do you mean?" asked Zamy with a hint of irritation.

"Hello. Let's get this over with."

"Yeah. Let's hope no one falls in either."

"No, they haven't. I hope Miles did exactly as I asked."

Zamy was waiting by the pool to make sure no more disasters occurred.

"Ok. Where are you locking them up?"

Zamy found the room and carefully picked up the scabbard with the sword in it before returning to the kitchen. ---- "Thanks Hope, I appreciate it. If there's anything I can do to pay you back, just say."   "Oh I'll think of something, don't worry," laughed Hope.

"I will be," replied Zamy, quickly heading off. ----- "I was wondeirng if you could make me one of those teleporters you have, it could really come in handy."   Hope thought for a moment. "I probably could, I've got rid of most of the kinks in the prototype by now. I'll do my best and let you know."

Zamy took the kunai.   "Thank you. And I can go get it from your room while you have breakfast if that's easier Stacey."

"Yes, you can use them to train."

"Then just hand over the weapons. Like I said, we're not going to destroy them. Don't make this hard on yourself."

"Yes, there is always that third option. And it's not like we're going to melt them into scrap, they'll all be safely here."

"It doesn't matter! The law is clear. Whatever customs you had back in your Zone are completely irrelevant here. You can't have it both ways, if you want to be allowed to stay here, rhen you have to adopt the way of life here."

Zamy came into the kitchen.   "It's really simple. Either you hand them over, or you'll get arrested by cops who won't be as understanding as us the second you try and walk into that store. Children don't carry weapons here."

"Yeah. Might make it quicker for the rest of us."

"Think that'll be enough to stop her?"

"Agreed, could be worse I guess. Ok let's get this show on the road."
