Shadow the Hedgehog

"What's that?" asked Hope.

"I should be OK Miles." -- "Apparently even my AI is confused about how this happened."

"I don't know . I'll have to ask them," replied Hope, heading over to her laptop.

"Yes. I think I better clean these cuts though," replied Zamy.

"I can imagine."

"Well maybe a little. But less than you think."

Zamy teleported them back to the lab. ---- "Yeah. Things are always weird around here "

"Do you want to head back Miles?" ----- "It was here before you arrived, trust me."

"It doesn't matter anyway." --- "What for? You didn't do this to me."

"I've no idea how." --- "Yeah, at the moment I'm not in great shape."

"Those aren't your real future versions. They're the old futures if that makes sense. I'm not sure how it's possible though." ---- "Yeah. Just a little bruised," she replied, changing out of her body armour

Hope teleported Melody back to the lab where Topaz was waiting. Zamy stayed with Miles.

"Same here. Let's head back now," said Hope.

Zamy decided to let Miles think it all over. "You girls OK?"

"Yes. I can help you along the way but you made the first step yourself."

"It's far easier to prevent someone being like that than to turn them back. And they have to really want it as well. It's why you-ve become who you are now."

"Because she knew what she was doing. She wasn't insane like Skye, she understood exactly the consequences of what she was doing. She just wanted to rule over people, she'd never listen to reason."

"She'd what? Stop being evil? I'm afraid people like that are too far gone, she couldn't even recognise what she was doing was wrong."

"Are you OK Miles?" asked Zamy.

"Well I'm glad that's over," said Hope.

"About time," muttered Zamy as she looked over her wounds.

Hope had the biggest smirk she'd ever had. "Not expecting that?"

"Come on, just a little more."

Hope threw a chair at her, with little else around to use.

"Tyrants are always the cowardly type."
