Chapter 3: Never Again
					.........
	Back at the ruins I found that Gold left to get some supplies. Then I 
found a new cave that wasn't around before. When I looked in the cave it was 
brighter than I thought it was. Then I went in to investigate. The opening 
closed on me! Then I felt as if the cave was being lifted. I tried to get out 
but I heard a voice like it was on a PA I saw that it was one of Egg man's 
traps.
	"Don't try to get out if you don't want to fall! Ha ha ha ha!" 
It was a trap. No one could get me out of this one. Hearing a sound that 
reminded me of a dome closing. Egg man was taking me into space! The black 
tornado was partially finished. I knew that I would be trapped until Egg man 
threatens to destroy me.
				............
Back on Earth.
	"Ruby! Ruby! Oh man this is the first time she is late for a battle,"
	"She isn't even on Earth,"
That was Egg man. He found how to hack into our communicators. 
	"Alright then tell me where she is then!"
Sonic was getting upset because I promised a battle that evening.
	"Why would I say? It's more fun watching you figure it out yourself!"
	"Tails, Egg man has Ruby!"
	"I could find her easily using the tracking device that is in our 
communicators,"
				............
At the space colony ARK.
	"Alright Egg man, what are you doing with me?"
	"Ha ha ha ha! I might as well tell you the plan I have,"
	The plan was to build a robot that used me for a source of energy instead 
of his usual, animals. The Robot would be unstoppable.
	"You're never going to get away with this!"
I tried to get out of the ropes but they were too tightly wrapped around me.
Crash!
	"What was that? Hmmm. looks like we have some company. I'll take care of 
this. Shadow, watch her and make sure she doesn't get away!"
I turned to see a black hedgehog that looked like Sonic come in.
				............
At the black tornado.
	"Oh man! Why did we bring Knuckles along?"
	"He has the exact location of the colony,"
	"Let's stop talking and lets find my sister!"
				................
At the prison. 
	"What are you doing working for Egg man? He is why my pichu is crying and 
my friends are hurt, Shadow,"
	"I do this because of what they did to Maria,"
	"Well, you're not the only one riding the boat. I was taken away from my 
brother, Gold,"
	"Shadow, fire the ray at once!"
I thought he was going to put me in a robot to fuel it so it could be an 
unstoppable robot.
	"I might as well tell you the real plan,"
				...............
	*"Egg man! All right! Tell us where Ruby is!"
	"Bwa ha ha ha! Even if I do, it'll be too late to help her! Shadow! Ruby! 
Come take care of these pests!"
At that time Shadow and I came in.
	"Eggman, are you trying to pull my leg? Ruby won't hurt us!"
Sonic ducked just in time to dodge an attack.
	"I forgot to mention that she is temporarily brainwashed? Temporary 
because she will get so much done for me, that when she's back to herself, she 
can't do a thing!"
	"Then we'll stop her!"
	"I got five chaos emeralds then add the diamond and the emerald she has 
then you got my plan more than half-way done!"
	"Let's get out of here!"
	"Bwa ha ha ha! We finally sent Sonic running! Ruby, Shadow, go find the 
last emerald!"
				.............
At the black tornado.
	"Let's hope they don't find us here,"
	"Too late for that!"
Tails pointed to Ruby and Shadow coming for them. They escaped with Knuckles 
finding a paper.
	"What's this?"
	"It looks like a, I don't know what it is,"
	"Well read it Knuckles!"
	"It says, to Ruby, we have hidden you here. An animal helped us hide you 
where you were found. You will find who you really are and a power that is close 
to unstoppable with all seven emeralds and a diamond. If you find this, we hope 
you're safe. If you find your brother, be sure to be his friend. The Prowers, 
your family,"
	"Egg man must have turned them into robots,"
	"Oh, no. They're, they're, my parents," 
	Tails looked upset.
	"Well, isn't that romantic?"
	It was Shadow and Ruby.
	"Hand over the Emeralds. Now!"
	"Fine, here, have them,"
	"Sonic are you nuts?"
	"They need them," He winked away from Shadow and Ruby.
	"Ha ha ha ha! With the Emeralds and the Diamond, I'm unstoppable!"
There was a flash. The Diamond disappeared. There was a fast streak. Not even 
Sonic could see what it was.
	**"Come on, Egg man, is that the best you got?"
	"What the? You're a fox like Tails! Well that means I have a hedgehog,"
	"Ahem! What about me!"
	"Fine then! Two hedgehogs, an echidna, and two foxes! That means I have 
more to mess with!"
	"Make that three hedgehogs!"
It was Shadow; he's standing up to Egg man! After a few seconds to recover from 
the fact that I wasn't Ruby Gemlosenie, but Ruby Prower, I got up to get Egg man 
for what he did. It felt a whole different fighting now than before.
	"Wow, I never thought, that, I was,"
	"It's okay Ruby. We never thought that this would happen either,"
	"Well at least you still have us for friends,"
It was good I have Sonic, Gold, Silver, Knuckles, Shadow, Paprika, and Tails as 
friends. At the end, we fixed everything.
	"Well, Ruby, I would like a Poke'mon of my own, if it's okay,"
	"Sure thing Tails! You'll make a great trainer. How about we stop in 
Station Square's Poke'moncenter?"
			...............
That night I decided to leave for Jotho. Gold was on his way to Pallet Town.
"Paprika, do you think that the animal mentioned in the letter is a Poke'mon?"
"Pichu, pi pi,"
"Well if we do let's thank it,"
