(I will begin.)
Tails the fox was the first to notice the quiet awakening of the strange white creature laying on the hospital bed. Doctor Quack had been discussing details of the female with a certain blue hedgehog, but at Tails's alert turned and watched the patient for signs of distress as she awoke with a small stretch, broken by a groan of pain as stiff muscles protested. Pupiless eyes opened quickly at the feeling of pain, then widened at her surroundings, emerald depths unnerving the group of Mobians present. "Oh, um....." With a flustered movement, the female sat up, staring in confusion at those present in her revovery room. Doctor Quack and a curious Sally Acorn wasted no time in voicing their questions. "Hello, young lady," The doctor stated gently, holding a clipboard that had a limited amount of information on the bed's occupant. "....Hi. Um, where am I, exactly?" the small white Mobian asked, eyes locked on Quack as she tried to remain calm. And who wouldn't be nervous?

The duck smiled gently, motioning to Sonic and Tails, who stepped forward in both curiosity and pride. "These two found you....incapacitated." When the white creature tilted her head in confusion, Sonic decided to give input. "You were buried in dirt, and had obviously fallen a long way down from the size of the crater you made." Large green irises looked concerned, and fingers gripped her bedsheet as the girl listened. Sally jumped in with a calming smile. "We thought you could help us figure out why you were injured, and where you came from." "And what you are, exactly." The blue hedgehog was elbowed by Tails for that remark, but the white female nodded in understanding. "Well, I'm a Chisei. C-H-I-S-E-I. You probably haven't heard of it, though." The visitors shook their heads in agreement, that they had never heard of such a thing. "Well, I'm sort of a mix of a cat, a deer," at this she wiggled her ears and pointed to her antlers. "and a dragon." With a big smile, the Chisei...

opened her mismatched wings with a snap, flexing them gently as pain moved through the tendons. Sonic, Tails, and everyone else present looked flabbergasted, the blue hero also slightly sus.pic.ious as he eyed the girl. Doctor Quack cleared his throat as if to keep from choking, writing information down. "Now, dear, if you could tell us your name, please." "Oh!" the white creature said, gently knocking herself in the forehead, "I'm sorry! My name is Jigsaw. Nice to meet you!" Her bubbliness seemed to be infectious, as Tails laughed gently, looking at her and Sonic. "We thought you were muttering about puzzles when we found you." The Chisei giggled as well, then turned to Sally as she spoke. (DS about to die, I'll finish in a minute. :P )

(Ooooo, I love your writing style and how you write Sam's demeanor. And yes, that's perfectly fine!! She's not anywhere near overpowering, she just has extra skills. And sorry about not continuing, my Wi-Fi went out, then it was my curfew, etc. And now it's school. :P I'll reply when I get home.)

(Why thank you! This RP is definitely going to be fun. :3 )
After answering many questions about how she had ended up underground, where she had come from (no one seemed to know where a floating city was, no matter how adament the female was about its existence), and many other things, the visitors had broken off into a seperate group, Sally, Tails, and Sonic speaking with Doctor Quack about when Jigsaw would be released and where she would stay, etc. The yellow fox was quick to invite the Chisei to the home he shared with his parents, but Sonic seemed put off by this. Pupiless eyes watched as the hedgehog pulled his fellow Freedom Fighters aside and spoke to them in hushed, but somewhat harsh, tones. It didn't take a genius to tell, even without hearing the hero's words, that Sonic was untrusting of Jigsaw. Shell-like ears, once perked in friendliness, pulled back as she watched the conversation. Doctor Quack looked on as well, and was ready to break up the heated debate....

....when Sally broke out of the secret circle, frustration coming off her in waves. "Sonic the hedgehog, you are completely out of your mind!" The remark was quickly returned by the blue hero, who pointed accusingly at Jigsaw, who's eyes widened as if the finger was a gun. "You're crazy to offer this creature we don't even know into the /castle/! She's probably one of Eggman's freaky expiriments sent here to mess us all up! She even had a Chaos Emerald!!" The room went silent for a moment, then the attention turned to the white Mobian, who sat up completely straight and still. Green eyes were clouded with emotions as thoughts ran through her mind. Fur rose on the back of her neck in anger, her gaze moving to Sonic. Her long tail, which had been hanging off the bed, thrashed as she stood up, throwing the sheets off of her body, hospital gown a matching white with her fur. With fists clenched, the Chisei looked up at the accusing blue hedgehog, hissing slightly....

....at him. Her words were calm, but her eyes and body language spoke of her hurt and fury. "What do you mean by that, exactly?!" Sonic didn't miss a beat, chest puffed out in defiance. "I'm saying that you're a mad scientist's faulty expiriment that can only cause damage, and stole a Chaos Emerald to take to him." (I made him kind of a jerk, sorry!) The break between accusations was heavy and thick, but was suddenly puntured by Jigsaw's tail shooting out and slamming into the wall inches from the blue blur's head. Jigsaw breathed raggedly as she tried to keep her rage down, then suddenly dropped her tail and spun around, instead facing Doctor Quack and the two others, whose faces were shocked at Sonic's blatantly vicious words. Her anger faltered a bit, and a sad smile replaced it before her eyes hardened and she stepped passed them and to the door, turning back only once. "Thanks for your help, Doctor Quack. I'll find a way to pay you back as soon as possible." With that, she left.

(Sorry it was so long: that was just the part I already had fleshed out, and needed to get down to give the plot foundation. NOW we can properly RP. XD )

As soon as the Chisei stepped out of the clinic, her muscles began to throb and ache. The female hissed, gaining the attention of passerby and reminding Jigsaw of her strange appearance, only amplified by the hospital gown hanging off her shoulders. She scrabbled away from the crowded street, finally falling to her knees when she found a quiet place to think. After the pain-induced nausea subsided, Jigsaw began to think, all that had happened jumbled, except for a single fact that stuck like a barb: the 'Chaos Emerald'. /Emerald? It was light blue..../ With that fact remembered, floods of senses and memories suddenly came from the last dozen hours. The white female's tail twitched in excitment, sitting up as she thought frantically. /The jewel! It brought me here! That's why no one knew about the floating city!/ With a pause, the Chisei realized another fact about the gem. Or lack of the gem. /Oh, no.../

With a jerk of her head, Jigsaw looked up to see a Mobian, a green lioness, standing in front of her. The Chisei stood, tugging gently at her gown, a blush of embaressment evident on her face. "Um, hello....who are you? I'm Jigsaw." Her tail gently swayed as she tried to stay calm and not run away from the shame. Who knows, the lioness might be able to help her. For some reason, the small female felt she could trust the emerald-colored stranger. /It seems I make all my friends this way. I need different friends./

(Totally fine! I'm the same exact way. :P )

Her blush fading slightly at the sight of real clothes, the Chisei smiled in gratitude. "Thank you, Sam. It's very nice to meet you! And nice to know I have a reputation...." When the lioness leapt into the tree, Jigsaw began pulling the clothing on: a deep blue tunic with multi-colored stitching that looked as if it was sewn by hand, and many leather accessories, including gloves and sandels. They fit the small Mobian perfectly, and she sighed in contentment at being presentable. Then she turned her attention to Sam's questions, also catalouging the remark about Sonic with a begrudging nod. "Well, I'm a Chisei. It's a species you don't have around here, I guess. A mix of many things. Wings fluttered behind her where they poked through the wide neck of the tunic. "Including dragon, which is really fun!" Her tail twitched happily, then thrashed as she came to the next questiom. "And, well....I'm not from here. It's really confusing, even to me.... (tbc)

....but I think one of the emeralds brought me here." Her ears pressed back against her head at the memory of how she had aquired it. Shame built up in her, and she tugged at her new shirt, childishly avoiding the lioness's gaze. "See, I have dragon-blood in me, and dragons tend to collect treasure....I ended up with the gem, then woke up at the hospital." Green eyes looked up tentatively, wings folding back behind her with a snap. There was a thick silence, and the Chisei's pelt itched as she thought of the Chaos Emerald out of her possession, probably locked up out of her reach. If Sonic didn't trust her like he said, he would make sure the stones were ALL kept far away from her. Her heart felt heavy, but she smiled kindly, if a bit weakly, at her new friend. She didn't want to trouble the lioness with the sus.pic.ions circling her. "Well, um, I guess I should go. Thank you so much for the clothes, and I hope I can repay you, Sam." /I need to figure out what I'm going to do./

(Goodness, I adore Sam's character! She's so well written, almost like a real person!! :D )
Jigsaw smiled and tilted her head in curiosity at the lioness's ramblings about her ancestors, catching the few quirks in her voice and manner. Then the young Chisei was taken aback by Sam's kindness, and with a sudden flick of her tail, she had her arms locked around the lioness in a hug. Her shoulders shook slightly as tears went down her face, and like a child she clung to the green female. (she's very....innocent and childish, and has rapidly changing emotions. :P ) "T-thank you....I'm s-scared and don't kn-know how to get h-home, and everyone i-is gonna hate m-me, and...." She shook her head, as she was too choked up to speak properly. After a few long moments, Jigsaw regained most of her composure, and released her grip on Sam, sitting back with a small sniffle and rubbing the tears out of her eyes, tail flicking.

The Chisei smiled up at Sam, gripping her tail in both hands as she looked up at her new friend. Her breathing was still uneven, and a sniff escaped her once in a while. "....thanks, Sam." With a smile, Jigsaw stood and brushed off her tunic, ears flicking in embaressment at her outburst. That embaressment only grew when a low growl emitted from her stomach. She gripped it tightly, tail thrashing. "Um, when did Sonic and Tails find me in that crater, because I feel like I haven't eaten for weeks."

Jigsaw's ears twitched at the lioness's choice of words and pause, but she only nodded and followed Sam down the street. Her tail thrashed in agitation as eyes immediately settled on both of them, and her green eyes stayed locked onto Sam to keep from panicking. Hence why she didn't see a certain blue hedgehog standing on the corner, eating his signature meal. She only noticed when she stepped too close, and her tail slammed into his legs, knocking him to the ground and sending the chili-dog directly into his face. (neither of them can get a break, can they?) The Chisei's eyes were massive with guilt and terror, fur rising on the back of her neck at the reality of what had occurred. Then she heard chuckling, and turned to look at a certain red equidna, who held a chili-dog as well. He laughed as Sonic got up, blue face red with anger and chili sauce. He glared at Knuckles, then even more so at Jigsaw, who choked out apologies and scuttled over to Sam, ears pressed against her head.

(Sam's so awesome.)

The small white Chisei was confused by Sam's laughter until she got a very good look at the blue hedgehog. A small giggle came forth from her lips, which quickly died when Sonic stalked over. She hid behind her lioness friend, listening to their conversation. A chill went down Jigsaw's spine at the roar only a lion could muster, and her eyes scre.wed shut in terror. With a shaky breath, Jigsaw calmed herself enough to hear the rest of their conversation, and her curiosity was immediately piqued. /Emerald? Last time?/ The clicking of Sam's rings as her tail thrashed echoed in the Chisei's ears as her thoughts swam in endless circles around Chaos Emeralds and these two Mobians. Pupiless eyes gazed past Sam to stare unblinking at Sonic, apology and curiosity in them. (You wanna write as Sonic as well? I can imagine you'd do it well.)

(It's fine! And I was thinking the same about Sonic)
Jigsaw followed behind her green friend with her tail flicking in irratation. "Yeah, I REALLY don't like him." She sniffed, partly from her earlier crying, partly in disdain at the blue hero that had stormed off. Mostly from the smell of food that swirled in the air from the shops where Sam had led her. She didn't even notice they had reached their destination until the lioness spoke, and the Chisei quickly hugged her friend in thanks before sniling. "Oh, I eat almost anything. Like a goat." She bleated like said animal, then dashed off in a hunger-induced frenzy. But she wasn't greddy, and only chose things that were inexpensive yet filling. When she was done and had chosen her food, Jigsaw sat in a booth by the window so she could look outside and think. /So, Sam hates Sonic, and he returns the feeling./ Her eyes glazed over as she thought of the two Mobians' confrontation. /He dislikes her and would like to be rid of her... (tbc)

....but he can't. She has some sort of leverage on his, or something he needs. She's beaten him before in a confrontation or fight of something, and she has a Chaos Emerald./ When her train of thought was broken by her food's tempting smell, the small female was just as clueless about her friend as before, only now, she had questions to ask and threads to pull at. Jigsaw waited for Sam impatiently, her ears flicking.

The Chisei sat up straighter when her lioness friend came over, smilng in excitment at the sight of cake. "Thank you, Sam!" Her tastebuds were quickly in utter joy as she chewed a piece of the cake. She hummed in heppiness, glancing at Sam, who sat across from her. "Cake is better than I thought it would be." Jigsaw smiled, then sighed as she remembered her questions. "Um, sorry if I'm prying, but why did Sonic call you a-hey, where is your necklace? The pretty one, with the pearls." She motioned to her friend, hands moving over an invisible necklace in her grasp as she forgot all about her previous questions.

The Chisei smiled widely at Sam, immediately accepting her explanation. She had expirience with people, and knew that eventually everything would get straigthened out, whether she was telling the truth now or not. Then she shook her head with a laugh. "Where would I go? I don't want to run into Mad Blue again anytime soon." She gazed off out the window for a minute, pupiless eyes locking onto a massive tree in the town square. "And I'm alright with sleeping outside. I'm kind of used to it. Where will you sleep, though?"

(You can do the same with Jiggy. Or any other characters from the comics, etc. Let it be a villian-fest if want to! XD )
With a nod, Jigsaw smiled at Sam. "Sounds wonderful. Thanks." With a deep breath, the small female popped another piece of cake in her mouth, humming in utter joy at the taste. /Life isn't so bad. I have a friend, and cake./ A giggle escaped her lips, and her tail swished happily. Her pupiless eyes gazed out the window, watching the Mobians walking past, marvelling at their unique colors and outfits. A few specific ones caught her attention, such as a bright green hedgehog that looked eerily similar to Sonic, only with a black leather jacket and red sunglasses (can you guess who that is?). Accompanying him was an old white equidina covered in black markings, addorned with golden spectacles and a ragged cape. /They seem....interesting./ With a chill, Jigsaw realized the white male had turned to stare right back at her, an intregued glint in his eyes.

(If you couldn't guess, those two are Scourge and Doctor Finterivus [sp?]. Maybe they can be the ones who kidnap one or more of the Freedom Fighters? I don't know, they're some of my favorite bad guys. :P )

(Totally fine; I was gone for a while anyways. And ScourgeXSam sounds epic!! I'm shipping it now. 's my OTP.)
In the rented room, Jigsaw bounced on the soft bed like a child, giggling maniacally. After a long time of playing and laughing, the Chisei flopped down to the matress, sighing in contentment. /Thank you, Sam./ She sent the thanks out to wherever the lioness was, even though she had hugged Sam in a death-grip repeatedly when the room was first purchased. Now she snuggled into the blankets, getting her first sensation of feathery down covers. Her breathing slowed as all her muscles relaxed. Then she started twitching, beginning at her tail and travelling all the way to her head. The soft blankets were much TOO soft and the place too new and different, and only a few minutes passed before the female sat up with a frustrated groan. This changed to a smile when she opened her window and let the cool night air rush in. Jigsaw slipped out with barely a sound, scurrying through....

...the empty streets, gazing at everything that was lit by the moonlight. She reached the large tree outside the resturant the duo had eaten at that day, and scaled it with almost no problem. "This is better. There's even a nook here!" Jigsaw spoke quietly to herself as she sat in the tree's embrace, watching the street as if looking for ghosts. Slowly she grew accustomed to her surroundings and drifted to sleep, clutching her tail tightly.
So she missed the two evil Mobians sneaking right past the town square and towards the Freedom Fighter base in the dead of night.
(Basically, they could have kidnapped one of the FFs, and all anyone would have seen were two creatures, one green, the other white [aka, Sam and Jigsaw's colors], and Jigsaw would have not been in her room, as a nosy maid or someone could easily attest to. That work for you? :3 )

(Hmm....now, who should get kidnapped? Sonic is the hero, and their main line of defense against evil, but Sally's the princess and super important to Sonic as well. But Tails would be easiest to kidnap, and very important to both Sally and Sonic, and would make them lash out. Your choice, I suppose!)
Just as the sun was turning the sky a blood red through the grey of twilight, Jigsaw awoke with a stretch, yawning contentedly. Scuttling and sliding down the massive oak, the Chisei made it back to her motel room relatively unseen, only those up to open their shops catching a glimpse of her, and paying almost no mind. /Well, not much happens this early in the morning, does it?/ Her window was opened as she left it the night before, and so with a small giggle, like a child getting away with a naughty deed, she climbed over the wide wooden sill. Her pupiless eyes went wide and her laugh died, however, when she spun around to see a group of people standing in the doorway-a maid, and guards.

(Wow! Just, wow. Your writing always amazes me, Dragon. And yay, Sally AND Tails! It's a 2 for 1 deal! XD )
Her eyes were wide with panic, and she had barely moved to go back out the window when the guards grabbed her by the collar of her tunic. Choking on the terror in her heart and the force by which she was yanked back, Jigsaw was unable to speak as the guards, large and brutal-looking, grabbed both of her arms and with a nod of thanks to the grim-faced maid, began to exit the motel, attracting a multitude of curious citizens. Gaining her breath back, if only to hyperventilate, the Chisei began to kick and shout, tail smacking the legs of her captors. "Lemme go!! I didn't do anything! You're hurting me!!" They set her down a short bit after that, but kept their grip on her arms as the leader of the two responded in an authoritive voice, "You, Jigsaw, are under arrest for aid in the abduction of Miles "Tails" Prower and Sally Acorn." Eyes were wide and shouts of outrage...

....rang through the otherwise quiet morning, alerting even more spectators to the scene. "I-I," Jigsaw couldn't speak, the shock too thick to swallow. Her mind raced in loops, scrabbling for any piece of information to cling to. Or a friend. "P-please, I didn't do a-anything!! Find m-my friend, S-Sam; she'll t-tell you the truth!!!" She had to shout to be heard over the mutterings and exclaimations of the Mobians around her. The guards response only hit her again. "The lioness Sam has also been detained for identical charges." Shock charged through her mind and body, then anger, and the Chisei fought back with venom and a rising panic, emerald eyes shining with tears. "Why?! We d-didn't d-do ANYTHING!!!" People stepped back as she fought, scratching and hissing and even blowing a few shots of flame at the guards. They only slammed her into the ground, stepping on her tail which had wrapped around their arms and almost snapped bone. "S-SAM!! He-help!!"

The Chisei was out of breath and in pain from being roughed up at the hands of the guards, but she ran anyways, trying not to stumble as they raced out of town, pushing past people and stands. Soon the packed dirt streets turned into grassy paths as they continued to run, tears blurring Jigsaw's vision. Suddenly, she realized that she was in front of Sam, pulling her along in a direction she had never been, but felt familiar to her. The tugging at the lioness stopped when they reached where Jigsaw had led them-the crater where Sonic and Tails had first found her. /Whoa....that must have hurt./ She rubbed a shoulder as if the pain could come back at any moment. Then a spark of memory hit, and the Chisei slid down the rocky slope, and began digging at the center. with the help of her tail, she burrowed past the layer she had lain in, and suddenly came upon a cavernous space below the dirt. Without knowing exactly what she was doing, Jigsae widened the hole and jumped down into...

....the hole, hitting solid ground a number of feet below. She glanced around, suddenly struck dumb by the fact that she knew this place existed, and how large it was, even having a few ancient scratches and pictures on the sandy walls. Off to the side sat a short pedestal, and with a start, Jigsaw knew wgat it was meant for, and why so many strange things had happened to her. "Hey, Sam!" she called, hearing it echo around tge chamber. "Come down! We can hide here!"

Jigsaw's eyes were wide with excitment as her mind ran into overdrive, putting pieces of the puzzle together she didn't even know existed up until that moment. The Chisei paced frantically, thrashing her tail and gensturing wildly, fire escaping with her words. "The Chaos Emerald! The blue one that brought me here! This is its home." She ran over to the short pedestal and tapped the top of it with a finger to indicate where the gem had once been. "Somehow it came to my world, and when I found it, somehow woke it up. It tried to come back to where it once rested." She cringed at the thought of the fall she had taken, pain shooting down her neck. "Apparently I wasn't the best shovel to get back underground. I was able to feel the cavern under me while laying there." She sat, energy leaving now that the mystery of how she had ended up on Mobius solved. "But, now I'm wondering what all....that this morning was about! Tails and Sally are gone?!" Concerned eyes were fixed on the dirt floor.

(Ooooh!!! That'd be awesome! We could have them all team up, because Sam and Jiggy are already considered criminals! The only help they'd get would be from bad guys! *geeking out*)
The Chisei shook her head as her lioness friend spoke, tears stinging the edges of her vision, but she bit her lip to keep them away. "I guess....we'll need food, though. I don't suppose you have any? We can't go back to town...." /I don't want to hide and rot here! I want to go home./ "I don't know where the emerald is....Sonic took it." Her voice was edged in bitterness and panic, eyes shut tightly. "I bet it's locked away somewhere where no one can get to it." She stopped talking as her throat began closing with emotion, and she only sighed.

(My OTP WILL come to happen! Even if Jiggy has to tie them up together!! *war cry*)
With wide eyes, Jigsaw took in the crusely-made shelter before a smile broke over her face, and she practically buzzed around with her wings, examining every knot and strip of cloth in childish excitment. "It's like a big fort!!" With a giggle, she glanced at Sam, and her smile fell into a frown at the lioness's dismal and guilty expression. The Chisei landed, tucking her wings vehind her as she glanced at her friend. "Hey, it's okay. I've slept in worse places-once even under a truck!" She smiled wide again, then realized that probably wasn't the issue. "Wh-what's wrong, Sam? We're okay...."

(My 3ds hates me right now, so I'll type here for a bit. The computer's better for writing, anyways.)
Though she adored the leafy fort, Jigsaw was completely unable to sleep that night. Maybe it was because she loved the fort so much, and wanted to explore, or maybe it was because of the past events that twisted and turned around in her head, replaying vividly the pain and panic of being dragged outside by the guards. This caused her to rub her arm, which ached from slamming into the ground. In fact, almost every muscle hurt, obviously not recovered enough from her massive fall to run around as she had been doing. With a hiss of frustration, the Chisei climbed out of her mass of blankets and scaled one of the support-trees, smiling a bit as a few leaves fell, landing on Sam's sleeping form. /She looks like a bush, with her green fur./ With a quiet chuckle, Jigsaw took a seat in the boughs of the tall tree, tail steadying herself. The stars blinked above her, and she watched them, noting wryly that they were completely different from those in her home. /Everything is different./ A heavy sigh escaped her, then she silenced as her ears twitched, picking up a very strange sound, like metal hitting metal. A glow appeared off in the woods for a moment, then faded, but not before the small female had locked onto its position. (tbc)

(I'll actually just leave it there. She pops off into the woods to see what the light is. It could be Scrouge and Fintivus, if you want. If not, it can be someone else.)

Pressing through the thick foliage of the forest was rewarding, for soon the young, white Chisei came upon the source of light. Standing in a clearing were the two strange Mobians Jigsaw had observed the day before in front of the resturaunt. The green hedgehog seemed to be talking rapidly, gesturing to emphasize his point while the white echidna simply looked bored of his companion. The hedgehog talked anyway. "Man, did you see Blue's face when he saw us sneaking around?" He laughed, taking off his red sunglasses to polish them with his jacket. "I was sure he was gonna snap. Looked at us like we'd kidnapped his little buddies." With a start, Jigsaw heard the male's words, and her tail snapped in sudden anger. The sound of twigs breaking from the motion attracted the immediate attention of the duo, the hedgehog suddenly looking very menacing. Before the Chisei could react with more than a yelp of surprise, the green male had knocked into her, grabbing her in a deadlock with....

....amazing speed. He let out a growl of frustration as she struggled, dragging her into the clearing where the strange albino echidna waited. At the sight of Jigsaw, the male smiled, showing unnaturally pointed teeth. "There you are; I've been looking for you since we 'met' yesterday." Both the Chisei and hedgehog looked confused at his words, but he paid little mind. "I picked up your unique energy, and have been trying to track you for a while. I have questions for you, as you have utterly intregued me." With a small widening of eyes, he bowed in apologies. "I believe we haven't been properly introduced. I am Doctor Finitivus, and my comrade Scourge. And you are?" With a small choking sound, Jigsaw gained enough air to speak, as she was still being held. With a smirk, her tail wrapped around Scourge's neck, tightening like a boa. He responded by twisting her arm painfully, and it became a silent game of uncle as both kept eye-contact with Finitivus. "Jigsaw, the Chisei."

(Go Sam!! *cheers* Kick some baddie bu.tt! XD )
Jigsaw was surprised by Sam's sudden attack, and she felt guilty when her tail tripped up the lioness. But she pushed that behind her and rubbed her neck gently, standing up. "I'm okay. I'd be more worried about Scourge, he had my tail choking him!" She turned to the dark duo and kept close to her friend as pupiless eyes gazed at Doctor Fintivus and Scourge. The echudna decided it would be a good time to explain their motives, as Sam was more of a threat than the Chisei. "We were merely stopping here for a tactical retreat. I think your little friend can attest to the fact that she approached us, not the other way around." He turned his gaze to Jigsaw at this, and lapsed back into scientific mode. "Do you have wings, Chisei?" She only blinked at his behavior changes, then felt black Chaos energy tugging her wings open, turning the apendages to and fro. The small female snapped her wings shut with an effort, looking at Sam for support....

...., then glanced at the two males. /How in the clouds does Sam know them? They're obviously no good./ Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she made her own statement. "I heard them talking about Sonic. And they mentioned Tails and Sally being kidnapped, but Scourge laughed about it. I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say they took them, and framed us." Scourge glared at her with a snarl, and Doctor Finitivus shook his head as if disappointed. The hedgehog spoke first. "We didn't take the freak and chipmunk, runt. It was just a coincidence. Besides," his frown turned into a smirk. "Do you SEE those two whimps here?"

Jigsaw had been focusing on Finitivus, who kept staring at her, then stepped forward and grasped her eyelid, pulling it back to reveal her entire retina. The Chisei looked helplessly at Sam, but the lioness was too busy throwing playful insults back and forth with Scourge. She was too scared of the albino echidna to say anything as he examined her with scientific interest. "Hmm....no pupils whatsoever, and yet your vision is not at all lacking. I assume Eggman is too dense to come anywhere near to creating anything other than artifical life." Jigsaw nodded meekly, sighing in relief when he released her, backing away before Sam turned to look at Jigsaw, asking her rapid questions. She sat down, pulling at her shirt at all the attention. "Oh, well, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to check out your fort, then I saw a flash of light." she paused, looking up at Scourge in confusion. "What WAS that light?" The hedgehog pointed to Finitivus...

....who in turn held up a ring, spinning it between his fingers. "It is more complex than you would be able to understand, but it is something called a Warp Ring." The Chisei huffed at his response, but continued. "I figured out where the light was coming from, and heard them talking. Then Scourge tackled me." She turned her gaze to the hedgehog, who co.cked his head slightly. "You're lucky I didn't hurt you worse, runt." She childishly stuck her tounge out at him, then returned her gaze to Sam with a small, conflicted smile. "Why didn't you tell me that you were a thief?" The statement was simple, but the discovery had been long-coming, put together after many hours of stringing facts together. It had only been reinforced by what Scourge had said, and the snippets she had heard. Her emerald eyes were wide with a curiosity, but also a sadness, as if the lioness had broken her trust.

(We hatesss trixey 3dsesssss. *recently watched LotR*)
Jigsaw kept rapt attention on Sam, her emerald eyes watching the lioness intently, noticing how her voice cracked with emotion. The Chisei stayed utterly still and emotionless, tail waving back and forth spasmodically. Inside, however, Jigsaw's thoughts were racing too fast as she tried to think and listen at the same time. /Sam's not a thief-well, she is, but she does it to help people. But it's still wrong./ Her stomach twisted at her memories: all the precious metals and stones she had taken, and not even for a greater cause. In fact, that's how she had gotten hold of the Chaos Emerald in the first place. /My other friends did bad things as well, and they were the best friends I ever had./ The female shook her head, a hand over her eyes in conflict, then stood up quickly, eyes holding nothing but care for her feline comrade. With a flick of her ears, Jigsaw pushed past Scourge forcefully and gripped Sam in a comforting hug....

....ignoring the sound of a certain hedgehog fake retching. "Sam, you are one of the best people I have ever met. You were selfless enough to help a freakishly different kid that no one else would even look at except to gawk." The Chisei pulled away quickly but gently, rubbing at her watery eyes before grinning widely. "Sure, you've made your bad choices, but so has everyone! How do you think I got that Chaos Emerald?" With a shaky laugh, she shook her head. "You are one of the best Mobians around." She nodded her head pointedly at the two males, laughing at Scrouge's growl in reply. With a sudden change in mood, the female smirked and spun to face the green hedgehog. "You're very irritating, you know that?" Then a giggle escaped her as she ducked behind Sam to escape the angry hedgehog, worries forgotten and friendships untainted.

Jigsaw listened to Sam's conversation with the male duo, but spent that time popping out from behind the lioness, making crazy faces at Scourge and Doctor Finitevus (that's how you spell it-I finally stopped being lazy and checked. XD ). The echidna looked perterbed, if slightly interested in her behavior, surely making a mental note about the 'sanity' of her species. Scourge simply looked like he wanted to put the young female in a chokehold again, but withheld his aggression in Sam's presence. At the mention of the kidnapping, however, Jigsaw stopped horsing around and paid attention once again, glancing at Finitevus with interest. The albino male looked between the three present Mobians, as if weighing his choices and probable outcomes of keeping of giving information. /Maybe it was this 'Eggman' guy I keep hearing about. He sounds in.sane, and evil. If he expirements with lifeforms,/ she shuddered slightly, ears swiveling back. /I hope he wasn't the one to take Tails and Sally./

(And you can decide who took them, or whether Finitevus even tells. I'm low on ideas for this bit. ^^' )

(That's perfect, Dragon!! Absolutely perfect! *fangirling* You write so fantastically!)
Jigsaw had yelped when an arrow shot past her friends ear, and before she could truly understand what was happening, the quartet was surrounded by guards, each armed to the teeth. The Chisei faintly heard the lioness speak, and nodded, already focusing on the pulsing of her blood. A soldier rushed at her, and her eyes snapped open, dark green slits floating in the normal emerald. Her senses were heightened to rival those of a dragon's, and with a quick jerk of her tail, the guard was being flipped over onto the ground. She had no time to marvel at this seemingly new ability certainly brought on by her magic, which consentrated on her dragon-esqe genes. (long story, but in her 'normal' world, she has some magic. Not very much though. So, she's not OP-ing.) With hisses of exertion and effort, the small female continued to battle the overwhelming amount of guards, trying not to injure them immensely...

....wincing at the crack of bones, though they were not her own. Soon after the brawl began, the Chisei was driven into the air to escape the slashing swords. Her white tail was her main weapon now, grabbing guards by the arms or throats and throwing them as far as possible for one so small. Jigsaw stopped in shock, however, when a massive roar reached her shell-like ears, and emerald eyes widened at the sight of her green lioness friend turned beastly, pouncing and tearing at guards ferally. /Whoa..../ Her train of thought was derailed by a tug on her tail, and the Chisei came crashing down to the ground. Her head hit hard, and her vision went fuzzy, leaving her to kick blindly at her attacker. When the spinning stopped and she forced herself to her feet, the amount of soldiers surrounding her was much smaller than before. With a surge of anger, Jigsaw realized it was because they needed reinforcements to take down Sam, which was slowly taking place without the lioness noticing. ...

The white female's movements became hurried and panicky as she fought to get to her friend, seeing with a small smile that Scourge and Doctor Finitevus were doing well, the echidna much calmer than the hedgehog. They either did not notice Sam's plight, or were ignoring it in hopes of being rid of the female. Jigsaw snsrled as she finally reached the throng of guards around Sam, and with a deep breath, blew a flame that cleared a sizable gap in their wall. Quickly she ran next to the lioness, turning to face the guards as her limbs burned from exertion. Still she fought, feeling Sam's movements becoming labored. With a hiss, Jigsaw felt another blow land on its mark, leaving another bruise on her already sore body, and in turn she broke the soldiers arm, eyes narrowed in fury. "We need to get away!" she huffed as she spoke, fear edging her voice like a sword, showing the childish Jigsaw underneath. She had never fought this much before, but thankfully she had survived on instinct.

(Eeheehee, the ship will live!! XD )
Jigsaw breathlessly follow the three older Mobians, stumbling once in a while as she tried to beat off the guards the were persuing them. The Chisei spouted flame, sometimes able to control where it hit, sending guards tumbling or imto trees, being that were still running through the forest. Jigsaw's eyes were watering from muscle strain and the pain radiating from every fiber of her being. Therefore she was grateful when Finitevus pulled a warp ring off his arm and tossed it into the air, a glow shining brightly. Without a moment's hesitation, each member leapt through, the portal closing seconds after Jigsaw's tail went through, preventing guards from following them. The Chisei was unable to focus on her new surrounding for a time, as her head felt as if it was spinning twelve different ways. She heard Finitevus swear, "Never will I let you choose the destination again, Scourge." To which the hedgehog laughed. The Chisei shook her head and...

opened her eyes, hearing laughter and shouting from a nearby source. The young female glanced up past her friend and the males, seeing what looked to be a resuraunt or motel, but with smoke rising out the windows. "Where are we?" "A place where the worst gather together." Her stomach dropped at the echidna's answer, ears pulled back. "Oh, great."

(Totally fine, Dragon. It is actually easier to write it on here, isn't it? Much easier, and it can be so much longer. :) I'll join you.)
Personally, the Chisei would have preferred getting soaked to walking into that building, obviously full of villains that would most likely not care for a scared young female in their midst. However, she followed her group as they all walked inside, liking the idea of being left outside in the dark even less. With eyes down at the floor, she scuttled onto the bar chair, mumbling. "Well, the fire thing....only happens when I'm in trouble." A small sigh of relief came from Jigsaw when the drink was only milk, and not alcohol, listening to her friend's strange nickname. With a small shiver tickling her spine, she felt eyes on the four strange partners, some whispering about herself in particular. Her eyes burned with tears; every one of Jigsaw's muscles ached and screamed, she was bleeding from multiple wounds from the fight, and she was exhausted. Hearing people talk about her 'different' appearance didn't help at all. With a ragged breath, she lay her head on her hands, which rested on the counter, shutting her eyes for a moment as her tail swayed to and fro, calming her down. Her ear twitched suddenly as fingers gripped it, and green orbs landed on Finitevus in irritation as he examined the Chisei with cold, scientific interest. "How is your hearing, then? Are you able to hear those idiots talking about you from across the room?" Something in his tone caught her, and she gazed up at him with a confused gaze. /Sounds like he....cares?/ With a small smile, she sat up straight, turning to look at the echidna. "Oh, yeah, but it doesn't matter." Her voice cracked slightly, and the male smirked crookedly. "Obviously your species is incapable of lying. Those imbeciles speaking of you are blatantly drunk, and otherwise unimportant." He was shocked into silence when Jigsaw grasped hi in a tight hug, sniffling for a minute before pulling away to keep Sam from getting worried and stopping her conversation with the bar tender, who seemed to be an old friend. She rubbed her eyes vigorously, grinning at Finitevus, who simply blinked, calculating what had just occurred. "Thanks, Fini." She whispered, turning back to her lioness friend, playing with the now-empty glass that sat on the table. (Sorry it's kind of random, but I wanted to establish a bit of a father-daughter relationship between Fini and Jiggy. :3 )

(I cannot get over how absolutely awesome Sam is!!!! She's so well created as a character, probably one of the best that I've ever seen! There's a deep reason for everything she does, which I adore.)
Trying to pull an excessively-large drink away from Scourge had only ended with him growling viciously at Jigsaw, so the Chisei instead watched Sam with worried eyes until she came back from her information gathering. Her nerves had been on end as the lioness dealt with the many tough, drunk Mobians hanging around the bar. With shock she learned that massive male lion was Sam's 'brother', but was somehow comforted by the idea that there was someone else on their side. /And someone to keep Sam from killing everyone./ She chuckled a bit at the thought, then began to follow the three older Mobians, walking behind a tipsy green hedgehog, ready to catch him, when suddenly the lioness with emerald fur threw a knife straight at those who had been gossiping about Jigsaw the entire night. The white female's eyes were wide with fear and shock, even thought the bladed object had only hit the wall. She shook her head at Sam's request, a small but tired smile pulling her lips upward. "It's okay, really. I just want to get somewhere quiet and safe to sleep and get clean." Her tail flicked gently as she watched the panicking drunks as they looked from the knife to their quartet, and then away from the lioness, fear in their eyes. The Chisei grinned sadly as the group continued towards the motel they were to spend the night in. "Besides, it was just words from people who don't know me at all. Friends are much more important to me." Her smile turned real at her words as she realized that the echidna, hedgehog, and lioness had indeed become her friends, at least in her eyes. With a hop, Jigsaw was next to Sam, leaving Finitevus to watch Scourge, seeming to be in a worse mood from his unfinished drink. The young white creature smiled up at the Mobian that had become like a big sister to her, and spoke, "Thank you for always being there for me, Sam." then walked with her in happy silence until they reached the motel. Getting their room (I imagine a large-ish room, maybe with two bedrooms off of it? It seems like the four would want to stay near each other, as they could be attacked at any moment.), Jigsaw scuttled into the bathroom, grabbing a rag and holding it under the sink, pressing it onto her wounds. She winced at the amount of red that stained the rag, but finally felt clean enough to actually sleep. A large yawn exposed the female's sharp teeth, and she collapsed onto her small bed gratefully. The males sat on their beds, not bothering to close the door, or do much. Scourge buried his face in a pillow, still moody and drunk, while Finitevus pulled a book from his robes, reading it by the dim light of a black flame of Chaos Energy. Jigsaw looked over to Sam to see her reaction to Scourge's antics, a giggle escaping her before another yawn took its place. With a stretch, she curled up, grabbing her tail for comfort as she usually did before she announced to the rest of the room's occupants. "Goodnight, Scourge. Night, Sam. Goodnight, Finitevus. Thank you all for being my friends." The green hedgehog, face still buried in his pillow, muttered something akin to: "Shut it and let me sleep, runt." while the albino echidna only looked at her from his book and raised a curious eyebrow at the Chisei. He sighed, however, when he saw her already asleep. There was a happy grin on her face as if she had already forgotten about the day’s events, and with a small, crooked smile obstructed by shadows, the mad scientist went back to his reading.

(Awwww, so she's one of your really special OCs, that's been with you since you were a kid. :3 That's wonderful!! And thanks, Jiggy is my little bubbly friend. They work perfectly together, don't they?)
With a contented yawn, Jigsaw awoke slowly, stretching her muscles until their screams of pain stopped her, wincing. Her ears twitched in frustration, which quickly went away when she glanced around the large, long room, at all her friends, who were passed out in some of the strangest places and poses. Scourge had twisted the blankets around himself, getting them caught in his quills, and now he fought against them once in a while in his sleep with a growl, muttering about how they would all bow to 'King Scourge'. Doctor Finitevus looked strangely calm and content, a small smile on his face, though the effect was destroyed by his sharp, filed teeth. She laughed slightly at the two, then glanced at Sam. The lioness was simply a tangle of green limbs and hair, yet the Chisei thought she looked beautiful with her hair down. However, Jigsaw saw the strange angle of her neck and arms, and could easily imagine that it was painful. With a gentle sigh, she lifted Sam with help from her strong tail, and gently dumped her on the only bed that had not been slept in, moving her hair out of her face. She stood back for a minute, smiling at all her friends with tenderness, then walked over in sudden curiosity to take Finitevus's spectacles and book from beside him. The glasses turned out to give the inquisitive Chisei kaleidoscope-vision, so her removed them, focusing instead on the simple black book. She sat down on the floor quietly, opening the pages, cocking her head to the side at the strange pictures and symbols on the paper. It looked handwritten, which piqued her interest even more, but she could make absolutely no sense of the apparently made-up language. /This is weirder than his glasses.../ With a sudden flash of brilliance, Jigsaw grabbed his spectacles once again and put them on, taking a quick breath of awe as the page now had actual words on it. She immediately started reading, eyes widening as she realized it was Finitevus's own records. She smiled at the newest one, which was about meeting Sam and the Chisei, and though it was written as a scientific observation (strangely and yet expected from the albino echidna), Jigsaw caught a few instances in which she was written about with a bit of emotional interest and almost tenderness. Sam was written about with grudging reverence, and the thought of that this was the way the cold scientist felt about them, Jigsaw giggled, a large smile on her face as she hugged the journal, spectacles slightly skewed on her face. With a final sigh, the Chisei replaced the book, taking off the glasses and polishing them before putting them on top of the tome. She leapt in fright as a certain green hedgehog chuckled behind her, and she spun around, eyes wide, caught in the act. "Well, the runt is sneakier than I thought." His blue eyes were filled with cruel mirth, and Jigsaw glanced down at her feet in shame. "Alright, runt, here's the deal. Just don't cross me, and I won't say a word to Doctor Finite Von Creepy." With a quick nod, she watched him go downstairs to find food in triumph at having blackmail on the Chisei, then retreated to her bed, ears back more than usual. Therefore, she was extremely excited when Sam came back, before the green hedgehog did, and she bounced around the lioness in excitement. "Hey, Sam, what're we going to do today? Can you show me how to do that thing you do with the Chaos Emerald? Or is it only you that can do it? Wanna see me do some magic?"

(Oh, Sam... XD )
Jigsaw giggled awkwardly as her taller friend continued to drift off even as she spoke. "Uh, Sam." she gently poked the lioness, but she was out cold, somehow still supporting herself. The Chisei's tail twictched in consentration as she tried to figure out how to move her. The first ti,e she had lifted Sam, it had taken her tail and herself to lift the lioness. Now she was standing, and any push would send her falling face-first to the ground. "What am I supposed to do? I can't leave you standing there." A hand lznded on her shoulder, and Jigsaw had to cover her mouth to stiffle a yelp. Finitevus chuckled dryly at the nervous female, then glanced at Sam. Black energy lifted the green thief effortlessly, dropping her onto the recently-exited bed with a bit more force than necessary. With a gape, Jigsaw turned to the echidna, excitment in her eyes. "How did you DO that?" Finitevus's grin dropped off his face as her spoke. "You've been reading my journal, so you..."

....should already know." Jigsaw blushed madly, shame in her eyes. "I-I only looked at the newest page, nothing else." She huffed in surprise as he grabbed her by her antlers, dragging her outside, Jigsaw too scared to make any sounds or moves to break out of his grip. In the courtyard of the motel, the echidna dropped the white female in the dirt, his eyes narrowed in a series of negative emotions. With a deep breath, he pinched the bridge of his nose, then gazed at her. "Alright, here. Watch." A black flame erupted from his fingers, and the Chisei watched in awe as he mumbled an ancient incantation.

(Eehee, I had to look up the Finitevus version of the Chaos Control-thingy. So I'll continue a bit. :3 )
"The servants are the seven Chaos. Chaos is power, controlled by my will, the servant exists to control the Chaos. Chaos Control." With that, a ring of black energy flared from the ground, surrounding Jigsaw, The Chisei glanced around her nervously, and then back the the albino echidna, who looked utterly terrifying as her played with the dark energy, the rings on his wrists glowing eerily. His red eyes stared at her in interest and what seemed to be repressed frustration for what she had done. "There. You try it; I want to see how much your species can handle. Being that you were guided here by one of the emeralds, I would imagine it's more than most." Jigsaw gazed at him for a moment longer, pupiless eyes wide with fear, then glanced to Scourge, who had appeared at some point, munching on an apple and watching intently. She sighed and closed her eyes, feeling the heat from the...

...flames of Chaos Energy around her. Her tail swaying in concentration, she began to recite what Finitevus had said, but the words seemed to twist her stomach. /Control the Chaos? Bend to my will? That doesn't sound good at all./ The image of the light blue gem she had found days before came to her mind. /I remember holding it, and feeling happiness, as if I had found a new friend. Like it was alive./ A smile flickered on her lips, and she began again, focusing on the idea that the Emeralds were indeed alive. "The companions are the seven Chaos. Chaos is energy, meant to be bonded. The companion exists to befriend the Chaos. Chaos Control." Her words were soft, as if asking a friend for a favor, but the black energy responded immediately, the color fading to a light blue, like the jewel that had brought the female there. The flames compressed into a small dragon-like figure, lifting off the ground with a rush and swirling before falling down like sparks as it broke apart. ...

Jigsaw waved at the energy childishly as it dissapaited, then stood, glancing at the two males, unsure of their reactions. Scourge looked at the sky, impressed, as actually controlling the energy of the emeralds outside his body was difficult for him, but Finitevus only grunted. "A weakened version of the Chaos spell. You could do better." The Chisei shrugged with a slight hiss, turning her attention to their room's window, wondering if Sam had awoken yet, wanting to impress the lioness as much as possible. /She's so strong, and I want to show her that I'm strong, too./

(Awwwww!!! Sam is so amazing, and I see some shipping going on there subtly. ^^ Adorable!!!)
Jigsaw shank away from Sam as she came out the motel's front door, fully lion and feral before quickly transforming back, but not before she had utterly terrified the young Chisei. She whimpered quietly, though she listened to what the lioness said with shock and appreciation. /I didn't know it was dark Chaos Energy!/ She shivered, remembering when one of her other friends from her home had begun using dark magic and had gone insane. Jigsaw shook her head sadly, turning her gaze back to Sam with apologetic eyes that watered slightly. "I'm so sorry, Sam. I made Finitevus show me how to. I-I didn't know it was bad...." She watched the hedgehog and lioness look at each other. Something was slightly different between the two, and it confused the white female. But she smiled gently at her friend, tail twitching in slight excitement. "Oh, I was just going to show you my magic!!! It's like Chaos Control at my home." Sticking her tounge out in concentration, the Chisei made a spark of fire appear on her tail fur, laughing in triumph as it didn't burn at all, and only felt a bit warm. "That's the first time it's Worked, actually. I've been burned a lot." She giggled again, the fire dying quickly. Then she shook her head. "I know it wears you out, Sam. You don't have to show me. And I'm not strong. I can't even kill anyone." (She was in a war, and couldn't bear to kill anyone, which almost got her killed. She sees it as weakness, morally.)

(Seriously, Sam is my absolute favorite OC that is not owned by me. Shhh, that's a secret, of course. But really, she is absolutely spectacular!!! I am geeking out. *fangirls*)
Jigsaw nodded nervously at Sam's words, feeling an imaginary itch go down her spine like the dark Chaos Energy had. /I better not go insane./ She hissed slightly under her breath, then giggled at her friend's reaction, surprised that their home didn't have magic as her world did. She would never be able to stand have an absense of magically pukse drumming underneath her fur like a living thing. Her attention suddenly returned to Sam as she told her about never killing another living thing, and a flare went off in her mind, making her believe everything the lioness said. A massive grin broke on her face as she suddenly saw her morals in a completely different light. Then she was awed by Sam's transformation, looking on with interest until te lioness reverted back. The Chisei clapped childishly, peering down at her friend to make sure she was alright, looking at the smiling faces (well, not angry, at least) of her male comrades. The world felt right for once, despite the situation they were in. Suddenly Jigsaw was handed the green emerald, and with reverance she held it, once more bresthing out the chant she had previously said. The glow this time was the color of the emerald, and lasted longer than before, if only slightly, the dragon-ish figure dipping and diving and twirling around the four Mobians, leaving sparks in its wake. Jigsaw kaughed happily, touching the energy as it passed by, her white fur on her fingers veing stained green as well. "Wow, this is amazing!!!!" She spun around quickly, sitting with a giggle of glee.

(Why would I be mad? Sam's so REAL. I adore it, and her quick changes between super strong and weak. It gives get a power that isn't overpowering, which is a very delicate balance. I hope I can do the same with Jiggy. And yay, Doctor and Jiggy time!! Weeeee!! And it's totally fine if you're busy: you don't have to reply right away. :3 I can be patient. Sometimes. XD)
Before Jigsaw could move to help her lioness friend, Scourge had already scooped her up, bridal style, glaring at her. But the Chisei saw something underneath his hard eyes, like compassion or tenderness. "Idiot." Was all he said as he carried the female of matching color up to their room. Jigsaw shook her head in confusion at the hedgehog's emotions, focusing instead on Finitevus, who stood over to the side in apathy, hilding Sam's gem which he had carried over using the Chaos Energy. Suddenly his eyes locked with hers, and she was picked up by a black force and set down on her feetat attention. "You, Chisei, need to choose between sides. I can't teach you otherwise." He lobbed both the emerald and ring at the female's head, and she barely caught the jewel in her hands, tail wrapping around the power ring. A small shock shot down her tail and up her spine as the dark power touched her skin, and she shivered despite the warm day. With large eyes, Jigsaw stared blankly at both objects, then up at the echidna, looking lost. He groaned in agitation, stalking up to the Chisei and bringing her head into contact with the items at the same time. Her eyes lit up, one a bright green if the light Chaos, one a black of the dark Chaos. The albino male sat in front of her, gazing intently at her trance-like state, observing her like an expiriment. "It seems that her species is very compatible with the different energies, though not as powerful as the echidnas and individuals like Scourge. Interesting." Thpse words didn't reach Jigsaw's ears, as the small white female was currently being backed into a corner of her mind by two different figures. One was a massive black and roiling dragon that seemed to he made out of electricity, eyes a blank white. The other was much smaller, though still large compared to the Chisei; a regal deer-like creature that was made of a shimmering blue energy that flowed smooth over its form. Both raced towards the scared female at a break-neck speed, clashing every dpzen or so steps, sparks flying and energy thudding. However, right before they collided with Jigsaw, they immediately stopped moving, floating to a stop only a foot from the youngster. "What...." As if to answer her, both creature opened their maws to release a horrid screeching sound, like metal sliding across concrete. The sound gradually faded, leaving a whimpering Chisei holding her delicate ears and tears falling down her face in terror. She suddenly felt a hand on each of her shoulders, and glanced up to see the figures, now the Mobian versions of their animals, glaring at one another as they pulled her to her feet. The deer glanced at her kindly, tugging her away from the dragon for a moment. "Hello, Jigsaw. It's nice to meet you in person!" Before the confused Chisei could reply, she was lifted by her other arm out of the deer's reach as the large dragon held her in the air, wanting to say his piece. "Kid, you said your spell to me first. That means we should bond." Jigsaw gaped in disbelief as the deer leapt up far higher than physically possible and landed on the dragon's shoulder, sitting cross-legged with its nose up at the dragon's statement. "Actually, Dark, she was tricked into speaking with you. I believe she would much rather bond with me. Isn't that correct?" The deer was smacked off the dragin's shoulder as it growked visiously. "You are weak, Light. If she is to survive and get what she needs back, she should bond with me." The Chisei blinked, then fought out of the giant creature's grip. It seemed ti not wish to hurt her, for its grip was firm but not tight. Her win

. It seemed ti not wish to hurt her, for its grip was firm but not tight. Her wings flared out as she slowed her desent to the ground, standing there in shock. "You two are the dark and light Chaos Energies! Does everyone get a weird dream when they choose?!" Both creatures laughed at her naivety, the deer's chuckle like the wind while the dragon's rumbled right through Jigsaw's skull. "Np, little one, but you are different. Everyone is, and we do what is best for them as an individual." The Chisei was unsure how to respond, so the two figures proceeded to bicker between themselves, motioning to her every once in a while. /What is this? I-I'm supposed to choose? Well, Dark looks much larger and stronger, but somehow I feel that he is showing all his strenghlth while Light isn't./ The gravitt of her situation began ti set in, and Jigsaw curled her tail around herself for comfort, gripping it in her hands. Both energies seemed to notice immediately, stepping to her side in concern. "Are you alright, Jigsaw?" Was spoken by Light the same moment Dark grumbled out. "Keep it together, Kid." Ti which the Chisei responded with a hiss and a few tears of frustration. "Get away from me!!! I can't think!!" The two staggered back at the force of the small female's words. They obviously weren't used to being sassed and orderdd around. As all this was taking place, Finitevus was sitting in front of Jigsaw, black static shooting from his all-seeing eye into the female's forehead. He was able to to hear the conversation going on, and was very dissatisfied with the results this far. With a wicked grin, a large jolt of black energy passed between the two, Dark suddenly becoming a bit more solid in Jigsaw's viaion. Light faded slightly with a muffled shout of fury, its voice becoming staticy. Jigsaw starsd at the deer with watery eyes, glancing distrustingly at the dragon as well. /What should I do?!?!/ (Whoa, that kind if wrote itself. And yet it's cliche. Sam could help, if she can recover slightly. Or she can be Jiggy's little vision, if you want. )

(I guss my reply got cut off. Sorry!!!!! And I love their memories!!! Squee!!!!!!)

(I'm so sorry, life got insa ely busy. It'll be shorter than I would like, hecause my computer's about to die. Ugh.)
Jigsaw sniffled, but cammed down as Sam entered her mind as well. Tbe lioness looked quite different, but her eyes and her voice were both familiar to the Chisei now, and sje didn't question why her friend was here. She wiped her eyes pitifully, then glanced back to the two energy creatures, who were held silent by Sam's piercing gaze. "I-I still d-don't know!" To keep from crying again, Jigsaw took a shaky but deep breath, tail curling around her tighter. "I-I don't w-want to be d-dark," the dragon snorted at this, brow creased in anger. The deer stepped forward excitedly, but still silent as to follow Sam's commands. "But I won't have anyone to teach me light energy like Fini could t-teach me d-dark." The deer faltered in its smile, and both glanced at each other, thinking. The Chisei looked at the lioness in front of her for support, looking like a lost child. "Wh-which should I-I pick? Please h-help m-me...."

(Your writing is simply lovely, Dragon. :D I cannot get over it!!!)
Jigsaw listened to Sam's words with growing relief and happiness, and grabbed the lioness into a tught hug. She sighed shakily, then looked up suddenly as something blue like the summer sky crashed down through the dark landscape in front if the two energy-filled figures. The Chisei stared in wonder as a light blue cat with an unnaturally long tail and flickering, feathered wings stood up, brushing non-existent dirt off its person. It turned with a bright smile, waving happily in greeting directed at Jigsaw. "Hello, Jiggy!!! Nice to see you in person, finally!" The young female blinked in confusion, tilting her head, as something was indeed familiar about the creature. It shook its head gently, snapping its fingers. "Sorry, you probably don't recognize me. See, I'm the Chaos Energy from the light blue emerald you, uh, collected," the Chisei blushed in shame, noting the creature's on 'collected'. "Anyways, I'm here because-" the feline was interrupted whn Dark picked it up by its wings. The dragon scowled in the cat's face. "Neutral, you should not be here. We were first!" The deer nodded in agreement with Dark, both surprised when Neutral laughed heartily. "Funny story about that." With a flutter of its wings, the light blue chaos creature was out if Dark's grip and on solid ground. With a bouncy step, the cat was next to Jigsaw, stepping passed Sam with a kind and respectful smile. "I was :he one who brought Jiggy here, to this planet! That means we were friends first, right?" Its eyes, with dark blue pupils, looked at the young Chisei with a ssmile. She nodded absently, listening to the figure's words as it rubbed its hands together seriously. "So, anyways, I'm different from these two. You see, unlike the energy the Mibians like Sam, Scourge, and Finitevus manipulate, the Chaos Energy in the Emeralds is originally neutral." The cat gestured to the duo of larger Chaos creatures with a smirk. "The mobians able to use the Emeralds change the energy inside them to what they normally use." Jigsaw listened in fascination and nodded enthusiastically. The feline took this as an invitation to put its arm around her shoulder in a friendly manner, being that it was a bit taller than her, only around Sam's size. "But you, Jiggy! You're different." It laughed lightly, seeming to remember things from when they had first 'met'. "You somehow were able to use the emeralds' energy as it normally is, neutral. That rarely happens, so I want you to bond with ME ' Light and Dark both began arguing with Neutral immediately, but the light bkue spirit shushed them with an upheld hand, irritated look on its face. "Hear me out! If she bonds with me, she bonds with akk of us!" That quieted them down even more and they looked at the spirit questioningly.

(Continuing)
the cat grinned at all the attention it was receiving, and continued, slightly serious for a moment. "Kay, Jiggy, here's the deal: if you bond with me, your Chaos Powers won't be as strong as they woukd be if you picked Light or Dark." A gkance was thrown the Chisei's way, as if to see how she tleas taking the news. She nodded for the cat to go on. "But, if you bond with me, you'll have a stronger connection to the emeralds, and you'll be able to use both Light and Dark's powers!" The two creatures mentioned looked at Neutral in confusion, yet both seemed to approve. Jigsaw looked at all three for a moment, then at Sam as if weighing the various points. without a word, she nodded once, shaking the hand that Neutral offered in excitment. Her green eyes were wide with nervous energy, which only increased when the feline morphed into his gem form, Dark and Light being sucked inside, dwirling around. Suddenly the jewel shot forward and smacked the Chisei in the forhead, knocking her back a few steps, rubbing her head with one hand whike the othee held the emerald in confusion and frustration. /Sorry about that/ a voice suddenly piped up from the stone, a small chuckle lacing the words. /I got a hit excited. Anyways, we're bonded now, yay! Now you should probably go back into your body before you lose the feeling in your toes. Not fun/ Jigsaw glanced up at Sam, slightly worried. "Um, I think Neutral's crazy. I better kot end ip like that because of a stupid choice." Suddenly, she blacked out, fainting oit of the trance with a hiss of discomfort before falljng asleep in exhaustion, a certak white echidna catching her with hsrd eyes. "The Chisei species is obviously physically weak." With those words he carried her upstairs, layong her on her bed withoit a large amount of care, going to his journal to write down these events. (Hey, I hope Jiggy isn't super OP. Her Chaos Energy controm won't be very strong, and her mahic is replaced by it. Sam can have some Neutral Chaos Energy as well, if that'll even out the power a bit. ^^')

(Not at all boring!!!!! That was amazingly written, and I can't wait to see where this goes next!!!!)
Thankfully, the Chisei was not plagued by dreams of Dark and Light, only hearing a voice that sh had come to recognize as that of Neutral. The creature spoke on and on, sometimes speaking of the Emeralds and the power they held hidden in their stones, sometimes just droning on and on about everything that went around its mind. At the beginning of its one-sided conversation about the evillness of carrots, Jigsaw began to wonder if it hadn't had a cinversation with anyone for a while. With a giggle, the young female sat cross-legged on the cold ground of her mind. /This is still so strange. I'm in my own mind, but I still have my mind in me, so I'm in my mind in my mind, with my mind..../ Jigsaw groaned in frustration, and opened her eyes at the sound of laughter. "Don't think about it too hard." She looked up at Neutral with a smile, the feline's bright eyes kind as it sat beside her, rocking back and forth gently, as if the act of staying still was too much. Jigsaw giggled again, shaking her head gently. "Alright, Neutral, let's think about something else. Let's think about Sam. You seemed to know her, at least a little." Neutral hummed at this, a frin on its face. "I don't know mich, only what she's done with the emerald she has. She's very nice, even though she goes about it the wrong way. She protects those she loves with a passion that will only die out when SHE dies." The Chisei nodded seriously. "That includes you and the green spiny thing, too. Which is so WEIRD, if you ask me." Jigsaw's eyes widened slightly as the creature gazed straight ahead in deep thought. "Sam likes Scourge?!" Her voice was squeaky with shock, to which the cat laughed, its wong going around her shoulder in a friendly manner. "I know, right? It's weird out there, Jiggy." The female nodded in response, eyes drooping slightly as a wave of exhaustion rolled over her. The figure on blue patted her shoulder gently as he and the landscape faded. "Later, Jigs. Feel free to talk to me anytime." Jigsaw sighed as she fell onto a deeper sleep, thonking happily about her friends, including the quirky energy creature. Her future seemed very bright, indeed.

(Yay, I'm actually on my 3ds! Wow.) Jigsaw was roughly shaken out of her deep sleep, all thoughts leaving her drowsy mind. She heard the two males calling her and saying she had training to do, which made her think about Neutral and their long conversation. /Whoa, wait...he said Sam likes Scourge!/ A giggle made her tail twitch in am.use.ment, and a goofy, slightly disturbing grin crawled up her face. Finitevus looked at the Chisei with concerned eyes. "Are you alright?" "Peachy." the young female replied, leaping out of bed and walking out the door, playfully punching the green hedgehog on her way past, leaving both males very confused. She decided to let her green lioness friend sleep a bit more, while she practiced her new tricks. (Lame, sorry!)

Jigsaw's concentration was sha.tter.ed by the sound of Sam whining, sleep clinging to the lioness's words. A trail of black Chaos Energy fell out of the air, dissapating around a frustrated Chisei and certain albino hedgehog that glared up at their room and the green female. "Would you silence her, student? I don't care how." The Chisei stared at him for a moment. /Not sure if he means k!ll her, or ask her to be quiet, or..../ Neutral chimed in with a hum of thoughtfulness. "I would just see what she wants. Maybe she can help you learn light Chaos as well. You're working quickly at dark Chaos." "Alright!" With a chirp of happiness, Jigsaw bounded up the stairs, her wings spreading out to give her extra thrust. She burst into their room, eyes scanning for Sam. "Hiya, Sammy!!"

(*hugs tight* Yeah, I'm fine! Thanks so much for asking. You're a wonderful friend. :3 )
Emerald, pupiless eyes switched between Scourge and Sam, a knowing and secretive smile on the girl's face. "Nothing!" With a flick of her tail, Jigsaw focused again on the lioness and not on a certain Chaos creature that was giggling and making jokes in her head. "Oh, you didn't interrupt anything important! And I'm glad you got some rest; you really wore yourself out with using the emerald so much." She grabbed the lioness's wrist with her hand and started tugging her down the stairs. "C'mon, Sammy! I wanna show you what Finitevus's taught me!" They reached the outside quickly, the Chisei taking a moment to revel in the sun's warmth, then raced over to the albino hedgehog, who was tapping his foot impatiently. "Can I show Sam the new technique you taught me, Finitevus?" Her rolled his eyes at her chipper tone, then nodded, giving her a Warp Ring that glowed with power. Jigsaw took it in both...

...hands. Her eyes snapped shut, and she mumbled an incantation under her breath. In her mind's eye, Neutral was standing beside her, guiding the power as she needed it to move. A hole, ringed with dark Chaos energy, formed a few feet in front of her, opening wide. In the room the Mobians shared, there was a sudden shout, and Scourge fell through the hole and onto the dusty ground, pillow following suite. The portal then closed with a snap, and Jigsaw giggled at the hedgehog's grumbles, then jumped away as he shot up with fury in his eyes. Her wings snapped open and lofted her into the air, out of Scourge's reach. He cussed at her, to which she only laughed impishly. "Don't be so mad, Scourgy! Sam wouldn't like it at all if you hurt me." Her eyes gazed at the two of them, and she giggled again, hearing Neutral join in as Scourge seemed to blush slightly before giving up and grabbing his pillow.

(Whoops, I called Fini a hedgehog. XD I meant echidna.)

The young Chisei dropped out of the air with a wide smile and excitment shining in her eyes. "Yes! Always!" Her tail thrashed in happiness. Neutral laughed in her mind. /You sound like a little kid./ "I am a kid, Ne." With a huff she answered him, ignoring the looks she got from those actually present.

Jigsaw watched Sam's display in awe, her heart soaring with the idea of being able to create such amazing things from pure energy. Her ecstatic expression fell into one of concentration as she was given the green Chaos Emerald. /Just do what Sam did. I'll be right here, Jiggy./ "Okay." The Chisei whispered, focusing on the stone's energy, feeling it pull from the emerald and rest in her left hand, hardening. One pupiless eye peeked open and saw a light green staff with a spearheaf, very simple in design, resting in her grip. It wavered from time to time, and sparks flew from the tip as Jigsaw held only some control on the weapon. With a nervous breath she let it go, and it shot into the sky, shifting into a small figure shaped like Neutral, the green color dissapating slowly into blue as it came back towards her. It seemed to smile, and with the last few shreds of its power, the energy figure tapped her forehead. Her eyes went blue for a moment, and she stiffened as 6 emeralds....

....flashed in her vision. Each was a different color, and in a completely different place than the others. Her head spun as they skipped between them, landing for a fleeting moment on the Acorn Castle, zooming in to see a vault, in which the blue emerald resided. And suddenly, the young female was back, taking a deep breath as if it was her first in many minutes. /Well, that was weird, wasn't it?/ Neutral's comment was unheard as the Chisei glanced at the concerned face of Sam. "I think I know where the blue Emerald is now." Jigsaw tried to laugh lightly, but she seemed pale, if that was possible. "In the castle. In their treasure vault."

Jigsaw smiled at Sam as if to say she was fine, then stiffened at the lioness's words. Too terrified to turn and look at the bountyhunter, she instead kept her eyes glued to Sam, fear radiating from the short female. With shaking knees, Jigsaw followed the lioness and Scourge, sensing Finitevus close behind her. "I don't want to get caught. I don't want to get caught." She breathed erratically, and suddenly she felt her foot catch on a rock. Her head swam from a mixture of fear and exersion of using her powers. She felt a hand grab her by the shirt and hoist her up onto her feet before she could fall and gently push her forward. Jigsaw huffed in relief and turned to smile at the albino echidna for a moment.

(Thanks. That was the only idea I had for that moment. XD )
Green eyes were wide as Sam grabbed the Chisei's hand, and she yelped in fear at the sight of 7 bountyhunters chasing them, the eighth still doubled over, but quickly recovering. /Don't look at the dog, just run!/ "I...don't need...your input, Ne!" Jigsaw snapped, yet did as the figure said and focused instead on Scourge, who was speeding ahead to make sure there were no other hunters waiting to ambush them. The female's lungs already burned from exertion and fright, but she couldn't trip or stop with a certain lioness tugging on her arm and Finitevus behind, shooting black spears at the Mobians. "I don't like this....anymore!" Jigsaw panted, a few tears in her eyes as the pain she still had from her arrival on Mobius making itself known again. Her tail curled around her own torso, to keep out of the echidna's way, and for security. /Do something, Jigs. You can help, remember?/ The Chisei nodded, brows furrowed...

....as she focused on the emerald Sam had in her possession. With a hiss, she sent a blast of energy at the bountyhunter closest to them-a hawk, with bl00d red feathers that flew above them. The bird screeched angrily, stopping in midair to avoid anymore attacks. Jigsaw shook her head, not enjoying hurting others, before she hit another Mobian the same way. They were obviously well-trained, however, as they paused for only moments, never giving the group enough time to escape. "We need to....do something to....get away!" she huffed, and then screamed as the hawk dropped from the sky, gripping her in his talons, ripping her away out of Sam's grip and wrentching her shoulder. The Chisei snarled in pain and anger, twisting and thrashing in his hold, wings snapping open to try and break free. She felt black bolts skim past them as Finitevus tried to hit the hunter, missing in fear for hitting the girl. Her tail wrapped around the hawk's throat then, tightening harshly. With a look of....

...surprise, the hawk released her, but she did not let go of him. Anger surged through her, amplified by her bleeding shoulders and pained muscles. Her tail tightened even more, and with a snap her wings closed, sending them hurtling to the ground. The Chisei made sure her opponent hit first, landing on him viciously. The hawk was unconcious from the impact, and Jigsaw released him, tears falling down her face as she realized what she had done. She kept running, however, catching up to Sam and holding her hand again as if nothing had happened. /Wow....that was..../ Neutral stuttered, to which she gave no reply, wiping her pupiless eyes.

(Sorry I was gone, exams and such.....Also, looks like I'm back to computer for a bit. :P )
Jigsaw nodded to her friend, impressed with the lioness's ability to fight and yet keep her cool. She was also impressed, if unhappy, by the resilience of those that hunted the rouge Mobians. The Chisei watched the three of her group protectively, making sure they were all okay. Scourge was a whirlwind of confidence and mocking laughter, and the hedgehog was taking out the hunters that the others had not defeated yet. Finitevus barely reacted as he was almost side-swiped by a massive lynx, and simply choked the Mobian out with his dark energy. Jigsaw grimaced at the feline's panicked face, and the young female was suddenly hit with guilt. /Don't even think about it, Jiggy. You're not-/ "Yes we are, Neutral!" The Chisei snapped, her conscience putting all the pieces together and forming a nasty picture. "WE are the bad guys! These Mobians are just trying to get some criminals off the street and keep others safe, and we're hurting them!" /But you're trying to get home and safe-/ "That doesn't excuse how many creatures we've injured." She gazed down at the bird she had run into the ground. He was being helped up by the final bounty-hunter, who held him up, holding his head to stop the bleeding. All her strength left her then, and Jigsaw's wings let her drop to the ground. She frantically glanced at her friends, noticing their injuries as well. "Stop." /Jiggy..../ The Chisei's eyes spilled tears as she smacked her tail against the ground harshly. "Quit it!!!!" Her shrill voice rang out across the clearing. "WE GIVE UP! I don't want anyone else hurt...."

(Whoa.....That was spectacularly written. So much emotion, I felt so much empathy for Sam. *tears*)
There had been a single hunter appointed to Jigsaw, and one on Finitevus as the others handled Sam and Scourge. The echidna hadn't made a sound since he had followed the Chisei in surrender, but his dark eyes stared at her unnervingly, ignoring the fierce battle going on, commanded by two, desperate, green Mobians. Jigsaw's eyes were terrified and yet held no regret in their cloudy depths, and the doctor took that as his answer, silent and stoic. Both their attentions turned back to Sam, who was screaming viciously as she fought. /Look at her, Jiggy. She's so terrified and desperate./ "I know, Ne." THe girl's heart was pounding painfully at her friends' plight, but strong in her position to no longer hurt anyone. "Hopefully they will give up soon." The guard watching her grunted in agreement, then backed away slightly as she hissed at him angrily, fur rising on the back of her neck. Thankfully, Scourge was soon bound and gagged to stifle his insults and cursing at both the guards and his two 'friends' standing there idly. The Chisei didn't acknowledge him, however, too focused on her lioness friend's quickly faulting fight. Suddenly, the green female reached for her stone, and Jigsaw's eyes widened in fear and realization. She turned to her guard. "That gem, get it before she transforms and kills your men." He nodded, slightly shocked at her information, but immediately acted, flying by to snatch the jewel away. Jigsaw smiled ruefully-not there wouldn't be more fighting and pain. When the hawk guard returned, lofting the gem, the Chisei allowed herself to be cuffed, tail being tied down with chains. She made no motions against it, only hissing lowly whenever something was pulled too tight. A few silent tears slipped down her face as she listened to the green lioness's crying and proclamations of broken trust. Finitevus placed a chained hand on her shoulder comfortingly as they began to walk. Soon they were in the town, being led like pets. The guards were loud and boisterous, poking fun at the small white creature until she bit one of them, bringing forth red liquid. She was smacked upside the head for her work, making her whimper quietly. The albino echidna growled at that, making a black fire light on the hunter's shirt. The Great Dane was brought back by the shouting, and he lifted the Chisei by her shirt collar. "Tell your friends to calm down, Shorty." She hissed, then looked at Finitevus and Scourge. "Don't fight back. Remember, n one gets hurt." "You BIT me!" One hunter exclaimed, then quieted down when she snapped her teeth in his direction. "Listen, sir," the Chisei said, her voice sounding small and childish and innocent. "Please don't put my friend in solitary." He only laughed at her viciously, but she continued. "You don't understand! Sam's just scared! She won't hurt anyone else, I promise." Her pupiless eyes continued to leak salty tears, and the Great Dane's grip softened on her collar slightly. "She's my friend, and I need her with me." The canine growled lowly at the Chisei's convincing speech. "Fine, kid. But if she does anything I don't like, you're BOTH going into solitary." "Thank you so much, sir." He grunted, then dropped her on the ground, stumbling as her tail couldn't balance her out covered in chains.
*Time skip brought to you by Jiggy's puppy-eyes*
The cell was dank and musty, and her green lioness friend looked anything but pleased to be put in the same place as Jigsaw. She glanced at her from time to time, but mainly the Chisei was thinking of an escape plan. /You're closer to the palace, so that's good. And they will be calmer now that you're all captured./ Jigsaw nodded in agreement.

(There'll be a lot of telepathic talking in this. Fini will be <>, Neutral in //, and Jiggy in ' '. And don't worry, Sammy, Jigs will get you out soon!)
/Are you sure something that simple will break us all out, Jiggy?/ <You underestimate the power of a simple but effective plan. And overestimate the intelligence of the guards.> Jigsaw chuckled at Finitevus's answer, then sighed as she looked at Sam once again. The green lioness hadn't moved since she had been shackled, and it concerned the Chisei. /Once we escape, she'll be alright. Right, Fini?/ <Don't call me that.> 'Alright, guys. Remember, we'll do this at the change of the guard. And please, don't hurt anyone too bad.' <Tell that to Scourge. He has been sharpening his quills for the past hour.> Jigsaw hissed, fists clenching slightly. 'I'll take care of him if necessary.' And with that, she cut the con.nec.tion, sighing deeply. /No offense, Jigs, but how are we going to break out, not to mention restrain Scourgy, with Sam....

....listless and unresponsive, and the gem gone? We don't even have rings. And you and Fini aren't exactly the strongest Mobians around without your Chaos Manipulation./ 'I know, and I have everything covered. I discovered another way to channel energy. It'll hurt, but we need to do it to get out of here and into the castle.' The sound of a metal door scrapping on its hinges broke the Chisei's focus, and she smiled as the guard, a vicious-looking hound, left his place to be taken by a slightly smaller feline holding a ferocious weapon. The Chisei's smile grew slightly as she stood. Approaching the lioness, Jigsaw crouched down, gripping the shackles that held her friend. "Alright, Sam, let's get going. We have some stealing to do." Her bare hands gripped the chains, and a pale blue energy shone from her palms. A hiss of pain escaped the Chisei, and Neutral gasped slightly. /How're you doing that?!/ "Painfully." With a snap, the chains broke in half, and Jigsaw pulled Sam's arm...

...over her shoulder, supporting her weight. As she turned, the door was ripped off its casing, and Scourge stood there with a cruel smile. His jacket was gone, exposing his scars, his chest heaving angrily. "Let's bust some heads, kid!" "No, no no. We're going to get out, then get the Chaos Emerald." Before he could respond in fury, she held his aloft with blue energy. She walked passed him into the open before setting him down, placing Sam in his arms. "Take care of Sam before you go on a rampage. Try to get her back to her senses." Grudgingly, the hedgehog nodded, zooming up the stairs to recover their garments and get the lioness to a safer place. With a sigh, Jigsaw returned her pupiless gaze to the fight going on around her. There were more guards than the Chisei had anti.cip.ated, but a few were already down from Scourge's intial attack and a pipe in Finitevus's hands. The others were massing together in the corridor, rushing at the two Mobians. With a gasp of pain, a wall....

...of blue power surged from Jigsaw's small figure, hitting those who attacked her and the echidna away. Finitevus looked at her in surprise. "How are you doing that? You are not skilked enough to create your own Chaos power. She giggled slightly, flinching in pain at the movement. "My body contains enough life energy to take these guards down." She huffed, smacking one of the soldiers with her tail. "It hurts, though." The albino male stared at her until he was once again attacked by a guard. Jigsaw huffed, out of breath from the physical strain, before fighting once again, waiting for Scourge-and by some miracle, Sam-to come to their rescue. 'I just want to go home.'

Spots dazzling in front of Jigsaw's vision was her signal to stop using Chaos power from her own life force. With a huff, she switched to her tail to continue driving the guards into empty cells, as the two white Mobians had planned. 'Where is Fini?' The Chisei's emerald eyes quickly spotted Finitevus; the echidna was almost done with his opponents, the assembled soldiers all contained, either awake or unconscious. /He is surprisingly strong with hand-to-hand combat./ Jigsaw nodded in agreement, focusing on her situation as she was knocked aside, hit with the blunt edge of a sword. "Yer lucky I hit ya wit that end, squirt." The old guard laughed harshly, and she hissed in reply. It was difficult to fight in such a small space, even with many of their enemies already taken care of. Thankfully, it was also nearly impossible to swing a sword, as the elderly gopher soon discovered. The Chisei's tail made quick work of him, tripping him and grabbing his sword. He was smacked by his own weapon and sent skittering into a cell, Jigsaw shutting it quickly. She breathed raggedly, bending over the handled weapon in utter exhaustion. Too soon she felt a hand on her shoulder. "I think we're done here. Let's get to the castle." She nodded in response to Finitevus's command and followed him. When they turned the corner, however, they were met with the sight of Sam relentlessly beating the reinforcements that had come. "Sam! Sam, stop!" The Chisei forgot all about her lack of energy and instead rushed at the lioness, frantic as she saw blood on the floor. The sword clattered behind her as she gripped her friend's hand. "Sam, c'mon. We need to get to the castle before more guards come, and more people get hurt." Her pupiless eyes shone brightly with panic and pain at everything the group had been through in such a short time. Then she heard footsteps at the door. At the one entrance to the prison stood Sonic the hedgehog, murder in his eyes which were locked onto the two girls and the echidna. /Who's he?/ "The hero of Mobius, and someone who's lost his friends. And will go through anyone to get them back." Her breath hitched as her own words sunk in. (Sorry it's pretty lame... ^^)

(Totally fine. And are you alright? I saw the vent art.... I want you to be okay. *hug*)
Jigsaw hissed at Sonic in panicked fury as he attacked Sam relentlessly, racing around the rest of the group in blind anger as he continually came back at the green lioness. The Chisei felt tears on her face as blood dripped onto the floor. "SONIC! Stop it!" She rushed at him the next time he came by, taking a hit and breathing raggedly, wrapping her tail around his chest for a grip as he tried to shake her off. Her bare hands gripped at his quills, trying to hold on and stop him from beating her friends. "Sonic...." She breathed deeply as they took sharp corners, her stomach threatening to spill. "Sonic, please! We didn't hurt Tails and Sally!" Her tail tightened around him, and she felt his breathing weaken and his speed begin to falter. "We looked everywhere for them! All while being relentlessly hunted by guards!" Anger surged through her, and the appendage tightened even more around the blue hero. Suddenly, he tripped from lack of oxygen, and both Mobians tumbled to the ground. She was landed on more than once, and something in her arm made a dangerous crunch. Pain shot through her, and Jigsaw lay there with watering eyes as Sonic simply got up and spit curses of anger and fury in her direction before turning to her friends again. "You're a freak and a lair. I want my friends back." The Chisei let out strangled growl that quickly turned into a roar, licks of flame coming out of her mouth. She sat up with a grimace, eyes full of frustration and desperation. "We DIDN'T hurt them!!! I'm just trying to get HOME!!!" And with that, a blue glow appeared around Mobius's hero and slammed into the wall. Repeatedly. "You've hurt my friends for no reason! You've been mean! You've hated me for no reason!" She stopped at his grunt of surprise-not so much pain, as he'd experienced much worse- dropping him to the ground with a gasp of pain from using her life force, tightening her limbs into fetal position as the blue hedgehog stood back up, eyes dark.

(That's perfectly fine, Dragon! Take your time, there's no rush. And do whatever you want with the plot-I adore all your brilliant story-writing skills!! Though I just remembered that the group needs to rescue-or help rescue-Tails and Sally. Haha. And I am so glad you're now on summer break! :3 )
Jigsaw looked up at Finitevus with blank eyes, and made no sounds as he lifted her up from her fetal position on the floor. She clung to his arm desperately, tears obstructing her vision almost completely. All the Chisei could see was the basic forms of the room's occupants; Sam hanging back, unsure and utterly drained, and Scourge grabbing Sonic into a stranglehold while the blue hedgehog was still dazed. Both hedgehogs struggled viciously against each other, but the green male gained the upper hand. Perhaps it was because he had more to protect at that moment. Jigsaw felt the emotions the green male had for the lioness, and despite her pain and exhaustion, she smiled. Finitevus noticed, looking at the young Mobian. "What?" "I-I'm just thinking that we'll able to get the e-emerald soon." The echidna grunted, seeing through Jigsaw's words, but ignored it in favor of looking at Sam in concern. "Are you well enough to finish the plan?"

(I did as well: I only remembered them because I read some Sonic comics. XD )
Jigsaw forgot all about the fight that had just happened, about her pain and weakness, about everything, and flung herself at Sam with a childish giggle. The Chisei hugged the lioness tightly, her tail tightening around both their shoulders before Jigsaw pulled herself away, looking suddenly sullen. "I-I'm sorry about h-having us brought here, S-Sam." She sniffled, staring down at her feet. "It was the o-only thing I could think of t-to keep more people from getting seriously injured, and get us closer to the em-emerald." Her white tail twitched, and she gripped it in her hands, which still were absent of her gloves. Her green eyes suddenly flared with determination. "Now, w-we need to go get the emerald before the king realizes that we're free, and then we need to save Tails and Sally." /Then you can go home....right?/ Neutral's voice startled her for a moment, then Jigsaw breathed and nodded. 'Yeah, I think so...' A niggling feeling had started to work in her chest whenever the Chisei thought of leaving for home, and it had begun to scare and confuse her. But for the moment, she pushed it back and focused on getting to the castle with her friends. (Sorry, it's pretty weak. ^^' )

Jigsaw's jaw slackened at Scourge's words, and her eyes shown excitedly. "You're a king? Really?" Thoughts raced through her mind of the violent green hedgehog reigning over a group of people and an army, and her excitement steadily died. Her thoughts of King Scourge began to bring upon a feeling of dread, so the Chisei turned to Sam instead, a mischievous light shining in her bright green irises. "Do we have any matches? 'Cause fireworks sound very fun." With a giggle, she raced out of the prison doors, blinking in the evening sunlight. Her tail flicked in anticipation, and with a bound she went running for the castle, making sure to stay out of sight of most of the citizens. She only stopped when she almost ran into what she assumed were the palace gates. With a determined smile, she ducked behind a nearby tree, waiting for her friends with a flick of her tail. /Yay, Jiggy! You're plan is actually working!/ "Yep, don't be so surprised. I'm smart.' /Sure, Jigs./ The Chisei huffed, then laughed quietly, not able to stay upset with anyone.

Jigsaw found great amusement in the conversation between the two green Mobians, what little of it she could hear through Neural's ramblings that is. When Sam passed her the flares, The Chisei held them in her hands, slightly confused. "Light them? What are they, and why would I have to light them?" After a moment of staring at them in curiosity, she shrugged and let a small lick of flame ride over the tops. Neutral laughed at Jigsaw's startled reaction when they came alight, and she quickly handed them back the the older feline, tail whipping in surprise and fear. /They light up in sparks, Jigs./ "Thanks for telling me, Ne." The comment was sarcastic, and she stared at the objects with an untrusting and abused expression, as if they were living beings. "What use do they have for our plan, Sam?"

With a gaping mouth, Jigsaw watched her friend remove the large gates as if they were a stack of blocks, and utterly confuse the guards. The Chisei was in awe at Sam's strategic thinking, and simply nodded dumbly at the lioness's instructions until Neutral's mental prodding moved her on. Her tail flicked in anticipation, but the lioness's mention of leaving for home settled into her stomach like a stone. Feeling Finitevus push her back lightly reminded the Chisei exactly where she was, and she focused again on going through the smoke and up into a low-hanging window. Jigsaw's breath was taken away by the interior of the castle, and the shining relics made her fingers itch. /No stealing. I know that you like to hoard shiny things./ She nodded begrudgingly at Neutral's words, staring instead at the intricate wallpaper, stepping as softly as possible. She was the first to see a small group of soldiers, seeing their shadows on the wall, and just as quickly had sent a burst of Chaos Energy their way, grimacing at the smack their heads made against the floor and walls. 'We're too close to be sensitive.' The Chisei was distracted by the wonder of exactly HOW close they were to the emerald, and almost rammed into Sam, being stopped only by Finitevus's hand, which Jigsaw realized had been on her shoulder the entire time. With a glance back, she saw his kind smile and beamed back at him, flashing a thumbs-up. The smile faded, though when a thought struck from nowhere. 'I....don't want to leave. They're my friends.' /But the ones you left on your world, they're your friends too./ An image of her companion Teapot flashed in her mind, and the Chisei almost broke down right there in the maze-like hall. 'I want to stay, but have all my friends here! Why is it so hard?' Neutral only hummed in reply, bringing the female's attention back to a certain echidna, his dark eyes slightly worried. "Just tired." Her voice fell flat and was hoarse, but she cheered up slightly when she felt a prick at her mind. "The emerald's in the treasure room. Two lefts from here."

(That's perfect. I love action. It helps me to write more dynamically and balance my characters' abilities.)
Head smacking against the floor harshly, Jigsaw was detached from reality for a few precious moments, pain ringing through her skull. Slowly, Sam's words drained through the aching, and the Chisei looked up in curiosity and worry. The lioness sounded shocked, and the two males had made their own sounds of astonishment. However, she almost immediately regretted it, as her vision swam and distorted, causing another wave of pain. "Wh-who is it?! What's wr-wrong?!" The laughter of the unknown creature was decidedly male, and its sound was dark and terrifying. The female shivered, rubbing her eyes frantically to restore her vision.
(I have no idea who it is, or who it should be. Who do you want it to be?)

(Wow....that writing made me squeal out loud. I just-how are you so spectacular at writing so many different characters at once, and incorporating action, emotion, and the senses?! I cannot handle it. *dies*)
Jigsaw had to rub her foggy eyes again at the sight of a hedgehog-shaped creature lacking a mouth. Only when she was sure the male was real did her emotions kick in, and the Chisei's tail wrapped around her in protection, breaking her fall as she rocked on her heels too far in shock. "W-what? What are you?" She looked to Sam for answers, but the lioness was being restrained by a metal creature. The lioness's eyes were wide with panic and fury, locked on the dark hedgehog. Jigsaw immediately read Sam's facial message: "he's bad news. Don't get mixed up with him." However, the creature, Mephilis, as Sam had titled him, seemed to be getting impatient, and the Chisei loathed to think what he could do when he got bored waiting. "Uh, J-Jigsaw, s-sir." /He asked if you wanted to go home. Said he could send you himself. I wouldn't take up his offer./ Jigsaw nodded once to show she had heard Neutral's advice, and planned on taking it. But first, she wanted to see what he had in store for her friends, for whom he had shown disdain. 'Besides, he's the one other Mobian I've seen so....different. Closer to me than anyone else here. He's interesting.' /Jiggy..../ 'I'll be safe, I promise.' "Wh-what's going to happen to them if I leave? You s-said something about Robotnic? Who is h-he, exactly?" Her tail had gradually untangled itself from around her, and was now flicking defensively, ready to strike the mysterious figure if her so much as touched any of her companions. Her ears twitched at the feeling of fierce loyalty coupled with a protective desire that flooded her system. These Mobians had become some of her closest friends, and she wasn't planning on letting them suffer anytime soon. (I hope that was alright; I don't want to ruin your plan that I know will be spectacular. Feel free to change anything that didn't fit it. :3 )

Ears twitched frantically at the strange sounding tones of the hedgehog's voice. Her hearing had always been good, but as she listened, the voice seemed to dull her senses, and with a quiet nod her defenses began to drop. Now sitting on the floor, she heard every word with growing calm, until suddenly, the male's voice distorted back to normal, and with a blink, she was standing back up. A hiss came out of her throat, and her tail thrashed in anger. "I don't trust people who trick me." With a calming breath, she looked up at the scientist standing behind her friends, all held captive. His smile was absolutely unnerving, and her ears pressed flat against her head. /Don't trust him./ 'I know, and I also know that-' "I don't want to go home." Jigsaw'a emerald eyes were wide as if shocked by her own statement, but it was true. "These are my friends, my best friends. They've done everything to protect me, and I can't leave them." She smiled at each of the three Mobians with a happiness she hadn't shown before. "And would a person trying to take people to a better place REALLY use violence? Because that's not how it is on my planet." Her smile faded into a defiant look at the human scientist. "Now, sir, let them go. And Tails and Sally, if you have them." /Wouldn't be surprising./
(Again, I really hope that's alright. If I totally screwed it up, feel free to change it! This is wonderful!!!!)

(Alright, I know I always say this, and I always mean it, but that piece was beyond astounding. It made me cry, Dragon. That takes an insane amount of writing skill, and you use that skill spectacularly. I am blown away, and I have no clue how to keep up with you. Yes, I'd adore another RP with you, if you're up for it! Whatever you would want it to be about. :3 )
The Chisei's heart physically stopped for a few precious moments at Mephilis's words. She shuddered and gasped at the male's tight grip on her, and the evil energy simply radiating off him in waves. Tears streaked down her face as she fought against him, tail striking him harshly in the torso. It seemed to only tighten his grip, and Jigsaw gasped aloud at the slow scraping of metal as the robots began strangling her friends, their cries of pain magnifying her own agony. "P-please!!! Please, n-n-no!!" The female's voice was a grating, panicked sound, and her eyes were dark with terror. "L-l-let th-them go!!!" 'I just decided to stay, and now they'll be taken away from me!!!' Her whole body shook with a gasping sob, and at the thought of Scourge, Finitevus, and Sam lifeless in front of her, something in the Chisei's soul cracked. With a final desperate sob, Jigsaw went completely limp. Her eyes strained up in their sockets to look at Mephilis as best they could, pleading and raw. "D-don't hurt t-th-them!!! I'll do w-whatever you w-w-want, just let them g-go!!!!" /Why do they want you, Jiggy? What does HE want?/ Neutral's words brought forth another gasping sound, and her tail curled up in engulfing hopelessness. Jigsaw's eyes roved to Sam, where they locked onto her, the Chaos Creature's questions mixing with her silent pleas for help and forgiveness. Seeing her friends so full of torment ripped the Chisei's heart to shreds and brought forth more begging through labored breathing. "M-Mephilis!!!! P-Please, sto-op, please!!!" 'Why?! Why my friends?! Why?!' Everything in Jigsaw willed her to do anything she could to save her companions no matter the cost. And fighting against this powerful creature wasn't an option that would get them all out alive.
(Sorry, it's pretty weak, but I want to follow your idea as much as possible. :D )

(You're so sweet. *hug* Thanks so much for being a friend of mine, Dragon. You're spectacular.)
When Mephilis had released her from his grip, the Chisei had immediately dropped to the floor and curled up tightly, bare hands grabbing her knees and pulling them to her chin. Her tail had wrapped around her protectively, but at the sound of Sonic's voice it flicked, and she spun around to look at them, to make sure they weren't figments of her imagination. A smile broke on her face, and a few more tears came from her eyes. The yellow fox looked at her kindly, turning his gaze to Mephilis and letting it harden again, matching that of his 'big brother'. With a flick of her ears and a burst of confidence, Jigsaw scrambled up and rushed past the evil hedgehog, dragging both Finitevus and Scourge, who were moaning in pain and barely conscious, over to the nearest wall. Robotnic only stared at the three Mobians standing in the doorway, completely stupefied. Jigsaw glared at the doctor, then stood near them, eyeing Sam, trying to find a moment to get her away from the wicked creature. Her emerald eyes them moved over Mephilis, and rested on the three newly-reunited Freedom Fighters. "How did you all get here? I thought Mephilis and Robotnic kidnapped you!" The question came out both confused and overjoyed, and the Chisei smiled again.

Fur lifted on the back of Jigsaw's neck at the evil hedgehog's menacing tone. With dark eyes, she walked towards him, standing face-to-face with him. /....What are you doing, exactly, Jigs?/ The Chisei barely heard, her anger rising above her fear and common sense at the sight of Mephilis's ugly claws next to Sam's neck. "Wh-what is your GOAL torturing us?! Why do you want m-me, anyways?" her words came out as a hissing whisper, and her tail thrashed wildly in fury. "Leave us alone! I'm nothing special, and I just want to be with my friends!!" Her gaze flicked to Robotnic as well, and he flinched slightly at her dark gaze, as if expecting something powerful to come from her. That simply confounded the female, and her anger subsided a bit as she looked back to Mephilis. "What's so important about me? Why are you so intent on taking me?!" In a flash, her rage returned as she remembered how he had hurt Scourge and Finitevus simply to make a point. Her tail wrapped tightly around the hedgehog's arm, pulling it away from Sam's throat, and tugging him closer to her, away from the Mobians. "Tell me. Then leave. Us. Alone."
(It's mostly fluff. I wanna see where you're going with this; it's making me geek out! I expect that Sam'll have to save the angry and thick-headed Jiggy soon, haha. XD )

Jigsaw hissed at Mephilis's laughter, fingers curled into fists and tail thrashing. Her anger grew at the evil hedgehog's words, and she felt a strange energy radiating from her, triggered by her strong emotions. /Jiggy, calm down. You heard Sam, you're going to-/ "No!!" Flames swirled out of her mouth at the words, and her mismatched wings flared out, casting shadows on the Chisei's face. "You think you can control me?! The only thing you'll be able to do without getting severely injured is running away and leaving everyone alone!!!!" Jigsaw's eyes were dark, and they grew even darker and more furious as the evil hedgehog simply laughed off her threats as one would a child. She hissed angrily at him, then felt a hand on her shoulder. The female turned around to see Tails, a gentle smile on his muzzle, Sally standing just behind him. "C'mon, Jigsaw. Calm down." "I don't WANT to calm down!" She shrugged off his hand with a glare and pushed both Freedom Fighters back with her tail, not particularly gently. "YOU didn't see what he tried to do to MY friends!!!" Her emerald eyes shone with wetness, and she snarled at Mephilis again with sharp teeth, standing rigidly, ready to attack him if he so much as stepped forward.

For a moment, at the sight of Sam swooning over Mephilis, every one of Jigsaw's emotions drained from her body, leaving only a numb shock. Her gaze looked from the dark pair back to Scourge laying against the wall, his eyes finally open, locked on Sam. He looked broken and as if he had given up completely, too exhausted to move or speak. With a snarl, the Chisei locked her gaze with Sam, and in an instant launched herself at her 'friend'. The lioness was ripped out of Mephilis's grip, and slammed against the floor, Jigsaw landing on top of her. "No! No, you're supposed to be GOOD! You're supposed to love Scourge, and be my friend, and go on adventures with us, and save me because I'm not strong enough to stay out of trouble, and be the Sam I met!!!!" Her tail held the lioness down against the floor as she thrashed, the appendage wrapping around the green female's arms to keep her from hitting the younger female. "Did you ever even care?!" "Of course she didn't, child." Mephilis's voice grated against the Chisei's sensitive ears, and with a roar she launched a blast of Chaos Energy his way, not caring that he simply stepped out of its path. She turned her attention back to Sam, her emerald eyes clouded over with fury and pain until she gazed at her friend's golden irises. In the wet orbs, she saw a spark of the Sam she had come to know over the past few days, looking angry and desperate. With a deep breath, she rocked back on her heels, realization hitting her like a train. 'She was right, Mephilis really can control people that are blinded by their anger.....' She looked down a her older friend in lingering confusion. "Sam?" was the only thing that came out of her mouth in surprise, thought the green lioness only continued to fight against the Chisei's grip. /What should we do with her, Jigs?/ Jigsaw shook her head, not knowing, still gripping Sam with her strong tail. /Well, at least try to stay calm./ "Right." she breathed, standing up and running a hand through the tuft of fur on the top of her head in a calming manner. Her white tail held Sam, still under Mephilis's control, above the ground as the Chisei turned to look at the evil hedgehog, a serious-but not angry-look in her eyes. "Okay, Mephilis, let my friends go unharmed-all of them-and leave. Now, please." A blue flame erupted in her hand at her words, swirling around in circles above her palm. Her emerald eyes reflected the light, and her sharp teeth shone as she smiled at the hedgehog dangerously.

(*cannot breathe* I just-wow. Wow, wow, wow! Such a climax, and so gorgeously written!! *panicking* I don't know how to end it!!! How will Jigsaw pull through, and release Sam?!?! Because I can't imagine Jigsaw living without Sam!!! You'll have to help me out, here. I cannot do it on my own without breaking physics in the process.... ^^' )
A hiss of surprise graced Jigsaw's muzzle as Sam broke from her tail's grip, moving more fluidly than she had thought possible. Time was brilliantly quick for the Chisei. With a fast swipe, the lioness had let a prominent mark on her young friend's face, but Jigsaw barely registered the injury. No, she was too focused on what the green female had passed her in the blink of an eye. The emerald was heavy in her palm, and it carried the finality and power that was rivaled only by Sam's small smile and wink. Those gestures held volumes in them, and Jigsaw understood perfectly that Sam was letting go, and allowing the small female to do what had to be done. /Go. Now./ As if she had done it all her life, Jigsaw pulled a spark of energy from the Chaos Emerald, and it magnified into a massive beam, slamming her controlled companion into the farthest wall. Jigsaw felt eyes on her as she revealed the power of the gem, her tail gripping it safely, energy coursing up her spine. A warm, buzzing sensation filled her, and all the strength she had lost using her own life as power came flooding back, yet her mind was detached from what she was doing. With an open mind she was listening to her heart and Neutral. /What will we do to Sam? She's in his control almost completely./ 'We're not going to let her go.' The Chisei ducked away from another attack by the lioness, rolling with a hit as it came her way. Though she felt the pain and snarled in response, anger did not pulse through her as it usually did, the girl retaliating with a shock of Chaos power. Maybe it was because of the circumstances; or maybe she was beginning to understand that anger only made you weaker. As she fought Sam, the Chisei watched the lioness's moves, starting to pattern out possible defenses and attacks. Being slammed into a wall and lifted by her neck, Jigsaw pushed up against the stone wall with her feet and broke out of the grip. Blood ran down her collar bone from the lioness's lethal claws. /Mephilis is focusing on strength in fighting./ 'Sam's built for agility.' Her Chaos-charged punch connected with her opponent's hand, causing both to be thrown backwards. Sam got up first, obviously not feeling any of the bleeding wounds she had received as Jigsaw was. However, the lioness's kicks and jabs were becoming slightly weaker, and with a start, the Chisei realized her friend's body was breaking down. 'She can't handle much more of this. We need to get her back!' A blow to her stomach was just barely avoided, and she heard Robotnic shouting curses at her, cheering Sam on while Mephilis freely commented on the Chisei's weakness. 'Have they been doing that the whole time?' /Yes. Now, I think there's a way we could save Sam./ 'Tell me.' Jigsaw replied, and was bombarded with (roughly hand-drawn by Neutral) images of what she needed to do. Her emerald eyes grew wide; they became even wider when she felt a powerful kick to the stomach, fire coming from her mouth in a huff of breathlessness. Blind, the Chisei grabbed Sam;s leg and slammed her against the floor. "Ya know.....I'm starting to.....think you're not....worth it...." the words were quiet, and not at all serious as Jigsaw threw Sam across the long hall, bending over on her knees to regain much-needed air. /You'll need to distract Mephilis for a second or two, Jiggy./ 'I know.' With that thought, the young female turned to face said evil hedgehog, eyes dark. 'He'll kill me now for sure.' A massive surge of Chaos erupted from Jigsaw's hands, hitting Mephilis and Robotnic, who had decided to watch the fight next to his comrade. That proved to be a mistake, as the fat doctor landed

That proved to be a mistake, as the fat doctor landed directly on top of the hedgehog, dazed. /Now! Do it now, Jigs!!!!/ A quick nod was the girl's answer to the creature's order, and with a snap of her wings she shot into the air. 'Alright...' "The companions are the seven Chaos...." A muffled voice was heard from underneath Robotnic, and the scientist looked up at Jigsaw in fury and shock. "....Chaos is energy, meant to be bonded....." With a roar, the pudgy doctor was heaved across the room, Mephilis standing up and motioning to Sam, who was racing down the long corridor at an amazing speed. ".....the companion exists to befriend the Chaos. Chaos Control!!!!" A spark of energy, minute in size, emerged from Jigsaw, fluttering in place in the air. With a blink of her eyes, the Chisei saw how very close Sam was to her face, claws outstretched as if ready to kill. However, the lioness was grabbed by the tiny spark, which had begun to glow in a pulsing rhythm, shining a bright blue, changing from green to black, then back to blue. Jigsaw smiled slightly, lowering herself to the ground as exhaustion hit her and her wings cramped up. The spark, and a struggling Sam followed, being held a few inches from the floor. "WHAT IS THIS?!" The small Chisei turned to look at Mephilis when he shouted, an untouchable anger in his dead eyes. "Chaos Energy, when you ask it nicely for a miracle." At her reply, the kindling of power rushed at the green lioness it held in its invisible grasp, passing through her without effort. As it left her body, Sam relaxed, a sigh escaping her as if she was aware of being released from Mephilis's control. The wicked hedgehog was certainly aware, and no sooner had the spark lowered Sam to the ground, was he walking up to the battle-worn Chisei, menace in his eyes as his clawed hand went around her throat. She thrashed slightly, then was still as he spoke. "No, you cannot be allowed to win!!! Your friends will not survive; I will NOT BE-" his screaming ended abruptly as the spark of energy, glowing brighter than ever, floated through Jigsaw and touched him on the forehead gently. In an instant the creature was brought to his knees as he was sucked into the microscopic point of pure Chaos Force. With a final screech, Mephilis vanished, and from the spark came the three Chaos figures, standing tall and shining. "Well, that was easier than I expected." Neutral rolled his eyes at Light's words, looking to Dark instead, who shook its head. "Not THAT easy. Especially for Sam and Jiggy and the others." With a moment of remembrance, the small Chisei looked back at the Mobians still in the ruined castle. Sonic had been the first to move, taking Robotnic prisoner with his signature speed. Tails and Sally had also decided to act, and had assisted Finitevus and Scourge to stand. They all watched the three beings talk among themselves for a moment, awe coming from the Mobians. However, Scourge had suddenly broken away from Sally and stumbled over to Sam, picking her up bridal-style with a familiar mumble of: "idiot...". Jigsaw beamed at the green pair, then felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright, Jigs?" With a quick once-over, the Chisei noticed she was on her knees, hands steadying herself against the floor. Neutral took that as an answer, and hefted her to her feet. She wobbled for a moment as Dark and Light joined Neutral in holding Jigsaw steady. "You're very.....grey, kid." She only looked down at her feet in response to Dark's comment, a feeling of growing dread filling her. "J-just, go make sure S-S-Sam's okay." She giggled tiredly. "I-I beat her up p-pretty good." Dark laughed at that, tugging Light over to the lioness, having to battle their way through Scourge to even get near to Sam. That left Neutral with Jigsaw, as everyone else was beginning to feel the effects of such a stressful few hours and were in their own worlds. The Chaos creature gazed at Jigsaw with sad eyes, lowering both itself and

The Chaos creature gazed at Jigsaw with sad eyes, lowering both itself and her into sitting positions. "Are you in pain, Jiggy?" The Chisei shook her head a bit, wincing slightly at the dizzying motion. "Not r-really...just tired." "You're tougher than I thought." He chuckled, then sobered again, glancing back at Dark and Light, who were fighting over who got to help Sam first. Neutral felt bad for the lioness. "As tough as those two are dumb." "Y-yeah, I thought they were part o-of you? Then why don't they know....?" Neutral shrugged. "I thought you probably wouldn't want to worry anyone yet. Not want them to be sad, ya know? And they're blabber-mouths. Would probably tell your friends, and then-" The figure was taken back slightly by Jigsaw's childishly clingy hug, but in an instant he was embracing her back, feeling her skin getting slightly chilled. (Wow, I am so cliche and depressing. Um, so yeah, something's not quite right with Jigs, if I wasn't being as stupidly obvious as I thought I was. So......yeah. Remember Prism, my other little Chisei that was friends with your dragon OC Lily? Remember Prism's mom, and what happened to her when she became SUPER weak? Hint, hint. I am evil, by the way.)

(Sorry,I know it was horribly done and Jigsaw was totally overpowered. Blah, it was the only thing I could think of... *sits in writing corner of shame*Also, my space bar isn't working correctly, so some words may run together. ^^')
Jigsaw only broke out of her hug with Neutral when she felt a familiarly clawed hand on her shoulder. With a quiet sniff, the Chisei smiled, breathing a sigh of relief that her green friend was alright. She looked up at Sam with watery eyes, her grin shaking as she saw all of the lioness's wounds. "I-I-I'm so so-sorry!!" With a sudden whimper, Jigsaw pulled Sam down into a gentle but desperate hug, her tail making slow sweeps over the ruined floor. Her heart beat was erratic and yet sluggish, and her mind raced with so many things to say to everyone. "I-I'm so sorry...." was the only thing that came out of her mouth. "I didn't m-mean to hu-hurt you, Sam. A-and I'm gl-glad you're ok-okay." With a tired sigh, the Chisei leaned back, out of the embrace of her older friend and against Neutral's side, eyes only leaving Sam to gaze at her other companions. "Does Scourge feel the same way about you?" the question came suddenly, and with a glance in her friend's yellow eyes, her own emerald orbs narrowed. "Tell him, Sam! You've got to. You were made for each other! You're even both green!!" The Chisei could feel Neutral's rumbling laughter at her childish reasoning, then he stood up with a quick ruffle of Jigsaw's head, leaving the two females alone. Jigsaw looked down at her feet, suddenly unable to meet Sam's gaze. She shivered once as her skin grew colder, and the girl hissed angrily. 'I don't want to go yet! We were going to adventure together, and always stick together, all four of us....' "There was someplace I wanted to go in this world, that I heard about at the pub. Adventure Land Zone, I think. I've never been to an amusement park before, but it sounded fun." She giggled slightly in excitement at the thought, then was quiet. Her tail felt heavy, and the fur covering it was no longer white, but a stony grey that seemed almost like actual granite. 'Some Chiseis get to be trees, or rivers or animals. I won't even get to be a breathing thing.'

(Excuse me, you're the one making me smile like an idiot and bawl at the same time. That takes skill, and I want YOU to keep writing your brilliant responses. The many feels of RPing.)
There was a heavy silence, and Jigsaw could feel confused gazes on her and Sam. And there was Neutral's glance as well, one that held no confusion, only sadness. /Will you tell them?/ The Chisei shook her head, a small river of tears being pulled out of her eyes as the Chaos creature spoke on her behalf. "Jiggy's told me a lot these past few days..." the figure sighed deeply, eyes staying on Jigsaw as if to keep her there, unharmed. Its voice was almost unfamiliar to the Chisei, as she had never before heard Neutral so serious. "Jigs's species is unique, naturally containing a small trace of magic that helps them communicate with the world around them. This bit of magic also prevents them from dying, as you would think of dying." There were some mumbles of confusion, and then Dark spoke up. "So the kid's fine, then? Why're you so sad if she's fine?" Finitevus answered for the blue entity. "I believe Neutral is saying that though they don't DIE, they change. Suspended animation, perhaps?" Jigsaw looked up at the echidna with a small grin. "You're really smart. But, it's different. W-we change into something n-new that h-h-helps the world. My great aunt turned into a tree; some turn into butterf-flies or little animals, or even rivers or st-stars!" She looked excited at the thought of becoming a star,even though it could never happen. Her eyes were suddenly full of bitterness and sadness as she grabbed her tail, its tip stiff and rocky and grey, the color moving farther down the appendage, towards her spine, and eventually to the rest of her. "I'm tur-rning into a stupid r-rock." Tears dripped down her muzzle as her anger grew, and though the Chisei only whispered, everyone was quiet enough to hear her words. "Was I not g-g-good enough? Did I d-do something wr-wrong, and this i-is my p-punishment?!" With a hiccuping sob, she dropped her tail, wincing as she heard a snap, and knew part of the tip had broken off. Jigsaw pulled her knees to her chest and rocked in a calming manner, hearing everyone's different reactions to the news. 'And now they're all sad. I didn't want to make them sad.' with that thought she looked at Sam, afraid to see her expression.

(I'm seriously sobbing. Your writing is so powerful, and so heartrending. I don't know how to respond to even half of what was written. Just, wow. I really do think we work well together, and I know that RPing with you is one of my favorite things to do. :3 )
It seemed that as soon as she confessed what was happening, the stone began racing up her skin, leaving her chilled and numb. However, she clung to Sam with the little movement she retained, and could feel the tears that the lioness shed onto her shoulders. The Chisei's emerald eyes were wide and watery as she looked around at her friends from this world, and she was able to smile gently. A small laugh came out of Jigsaw through her hiccups at Scourge's words."Y-you know I c-c-can't make decisions. I'd b-be a horrible ruler." Her attention was suddenly turned to Finitevus as he gripped her small shoulders. His dark and menacing eyes were softer than she had ever seen them, and much sadder than Jigsaw had remembered. "..." The echidna opened his mouth once, then shut it, just staring at her, his words coming through his gaze. "Y-you know," Jigsaw was the one to speak first, her words barely a whisper. "You were t-the closest th-thing to a da-dad I ever had....and the b-best I could h-have." The doctor finally gained the ability to speak. "I am not one for emotion....I would be honored to be your father figure." He pulled away after that, leaving the young female to rub her eyes to clear the new wave of tears as Sam once again came near to the Chisei. Jigsaw smiled once more at the lioness, and at that moment the other girl cried, cursing the world's choices and slipping her last ring onto Jigsaw's wrist. The Chisei glanced at it with a mixture of thankfulness and desperate sadness, and she fingered it gently, noticing numbly that her fingers were taking on an ashy pigment. (I hate Pandora Radio....it's playing Fix You by Coldplay and I'm out of skips and I'm crying....such a mess) She heard Sam's shaky words through stiff ears, the sound becoming echoed and distant, but still she listened, eyes locked on the Mobian that in such a short time had become her best friend. Her heart beat thrummed hollowly against her chest as her fingers gripped around the blue gem that had started the happiest and most exciting few days of her life. She felt the energy surging in the jewel, trying to reach her through the rock that had once been her fur. A small spark made contact with a patch of breathing skin that remained, and she savored it, keeping the contact as long as possible, feeling small pulses of pure Chaos running to her heart. The only other sensation she had was of a green lioness pressed against her in a desperate hug. With a small shift, Jigsaw was on her knees as well, clutching the gem with both hands, but completely absorbed in the hug. "You g-guys be good, ok-okay? K-keep being heroes." Her eyes were dark now, and yet she could sense everyone around her, and that they all heard her words, spoken with one last breath before she was still and cold. Her tail was coiled around her one arm loosely, tip missing; the blue gem was gripped in her arms and her blank eyes staring ahead. Somehow, she still had a tiny smile on her face, as if she could still feel her friends around her.
(Okay, this is going to seem weird, but I have an idea. If you could have everyone leave in a while, after everything, (Or it could just be time-skipped) I can go through with the plan. Because I'm not a heartless monster.)

(I'd love to hear the alternate ending!!! I'll end this in a few more replies, I think. It's been fantastic. *hug*)
Darkness was the only thing Jigsaw felt for a long, long time, if she could feel at all. It was like a dream, where the Chisei couldn't tell how long she had been gone,or if she had ever really been there at all. However, she noticed the small spark of blue that floated in her vision lazily, as if weakened or shrouded by something. The more she focused on the spark, the more it moved. Soon it dipped out of her vision, to which the young female felt a inkling of disappointment. But then, she FELT the spark go into her heart, and suddenly a golden ring was in her vision in place of the kindling of energy. The ring flashed once, then began to spin slowly, accompanied by a few lines of the familiar blue color. All disappeared again, and again she felt the strange jump of where her heart used to be. The pulses didn't stop, though, and the feeling tugged at the Chisei's memory. 'It's a heartbeat....' The statement seemed to come from something outside of herself, as her mind was not capable of holding onto thoughts from long ago. Then the jump of her stone heart happened again and Jigsaw was set into life as the grey stone around her now-beating heart simply vanished. A chain reaction began around her entire body, and the stony grey faded into a bright white, the stiffness leaving her all at once. She was left on the ground, her heart beating loudly in her chest. Her first thought was loud in her mind: 'You're alive.' The next one was urgent: 'Breathe." The sensation of doing so was old and yet new, and she choked before her lungs took in real air. Then she saw the floor as the grey left her vision, and on the floor lay the blue emerald. Slowly, as if relearning how to move, the young Chisei stretched out a hand to grab the gem. A jiggling sound stopped her, and her eyes scanned her arm until she saw the golden ring hanging loosely on her wrist.It felt cold, and with the other hand, she touched it. 'Sam?' Everything came back at that moment, and she was left breathless again, emerald eyes wide as she found her feet. Unsteady, Jigsaw picked up the blue emerald close to her chest, then turned to where she knew the door had once been in the hall. With tentative fingers she pulled open the wooden barrier, and blinked in the bright sun. When Jigsaw finally opened them again, she noticed that everything was almost the way her friends had left it. Except the gate was being repaired. 'How long was I gone?' She shook her head, focusing on the faces she had seen before darkness had taken her. 'Where are they?' Like in a dream, the Chisei stepped lightly passed the gate through one of the holes and into town, looking around at the stores she vaguely knew. Mobians stared at her as she passed, but she only looked for the three-well, six-people she really knew.

Jigsaw had finally given up her search for her friends after a long time, and now she sat in the large tree where she had spent her first night on Mobius. Her tail gently swayed, hanging off the branch, the very tip still stone and part of it missing. That, and her weak limbs, was the only way the Chisei knew it hadn't been a weird dream. And her wounds, of course, which were sticky with dust. Her emerald eyes were tired from looking around the town, and her heart was becoming increasingly heavy. 'Did they leave? How long have I been gone, exactly?' A sigh came from her mouth, along with a tiny burst of flame when she saw two figures running through the streets, their shapes familiar. Her heart leapt into her throat, and with a jump she was out of the tree's hold, wings opening to catch her quick fall. The Mobians came closer, and Jigsaw ran towards them as well, jewel still held in her arms and a giant grin on her face."Sam!! Sally!!"

(OOOOOOOOOH, I like that idea very much! That's a wonderful movie, and the characters are awesome. :3 )
Jigsaw's lungs were partially crushed by Sam's tight embrace, but that was the farthest thing from her mind at the moment. She giggled happily as she was spun around, and she immediately hugged her older friend back, her tail thrashing excitedly. "Of course I'm alive." she felt tears running down her face, and was simply glad to feel things. "I still want to go to the amusement park!" After what felt like a very long time, she gently pulled away, looking the lioness up and down, noticing her wounds beginning to heal, feeling her own aching and itching. "So....how long was I gone?" A small, mischievous smile took over her face, eyes glittering. "Are you and Scourgy married yet?" Her tail twitched in amusement, the stone tip hitting her leg, making her flinch, but her smile never fading.

(I think it's perfect to end there!! It's perfect, and sweet and gah, I'm dying. By the way, this RP has been going for almost 2 months!!!!! By far the longest one I've ever done!! And I'd love to do whatever your idea is for the Narnia RP. Whichever works best for you, though I think it'd be fun to be a Narnian. :3 OH, and I would adore reading your alternate ending!!! I mean, only if you want to write it..... X3 )

(Eeeeeeeeeee!!!!! That was simply amazing!!! I adored that so very, very much! He seems like a perfect friend, and I can imagine he'd have all Scourge and Sam's best features. I'm overloaded on feels and adorableness for today. ^^' Gosh, now I want to see more of Simon! He sounds like a cutie! *hugs him* And that's fine, I was actually just looking through the Narnian creatures Wiki page as a refresher. Um, which do you think would work better, a talking rabbit, or a dragon that was once a human (it said in one book that a human can become a dragon if he/she sleeps on a dragon's treasure.) Whichever one would work for your plot better. :3 A rabbit could fit in a satchel, of course.....that'd be fun!)

(All those ideas are fantastic, and completely fine with me. I may just have one, being that I cannot multi-task to save my life. XD Would it be alright if I just stayed with the rabbit? The rabbit is caaaaaaaalling meeeeee. I want you to take the reigns for this RP, being that I'm not an expert on Narnia and all its workings-though I adore the movies! I'm really excited, if you couldn't tell. XD )

(I'd love to do a morphling!!!! Omigosh, that'd be my DREAM! A rabbit that can be a human, with a fuzzy tail or tufts of fur on his-her ears!!! That'd be perfect, and you are so sweet and kind! Don't be afraid to push me around, because we're buddies! I'm shovable!!! *falls over* I'm also a bit hyper and excited. :3 )

(Ehehehehe, I'm excited too! I think I've said that before, but it's true! Yes, I shall paint a portrait of her as best I can (it may be a bit disjointed, so beware!) : She, as a full rabbit, is a reddish/brown furred critter with a few points of cream and off-white on the tips of her ears and paws, with a small circle of it above her left eye. Her eyes are forest green with prominently dark pupils. She is obviously very humanized, and can stand on her hind legs easily. She has a thick, dark red, leather belt with matching pouch in which she's stores a secret knife and a few snacks/herbs. Sometimes she will wear a white cotton hat her mother gave her, otherwise it will be kept safe in the pouch at her side. As a (mostly) human, she has hair that matches her fur, a messy group of waves and half-curls that she will often tie back in frustration. She retains her tail (which is more like a hare's tail than a cotton puff), and small tufts of fur on her elbows and ears. When very stressed or unable to focus (which is frequently), she will actually have long rabbit ears. She is spunky and sassy,but also very kind and caring about people, and tomboyish. (I hope that's alright, I have to go to bed. :p )

(That is BEYOND perfect, Dragon!!! I probably won't make a profile picture either, but I'll see how things go. I'll most likely not. I'm so, so excited for this RP!! We can start it whenever you want to. *cracks neck* I'm ready!! >:D Jazz sounds awesome, and I think he and (yet unnamed character) will have a blast together. Ummmm, maybe Hazel? Or Sunny, short for Sunflower? XD I don't know, I need suggestions! Names are NOT my strong point.)

(Ooooo, that sounds awesome! He sounds very skilled. I await your marvelous drawing so that we may begin, but take your time. :3)
