Part #3: Questions, and a Savior.

Mimic: Stay back!!!

Shantae: Uncle Mimic!!! *Running towards the shadow she poofed out her Scimitar in a heroic way and stabbed the Shadow*

Shadow *Screeching as it spun around to see who stabbed it's back, only to fling Shantae off*

Shantae: *Landing on some broken furniture*

Alex & Rotty: *Both entering in to see they're friends all injured and wounded*

Alex: HEY!!! *Grabbing the Shadow's attention*

Shadow: *Turning around to look at Alex, it was provoked by him*

Alex: Pick on someone your own size!

Shadow: *Gunning towards Alex, it planned on tackling him*

Alex: *Realizing the last second, he pushed Rotty out of the way, taking the hit*

Shantae: Alex!!!

Rottytops: *Getting up, she ran outside to help Alex out*

Shantae: *Getting up, she too ran outside to the backyard to see Alex all alone, gooey scimitar in hand and on the ground, with Rotty attending to him* Is he okay?

Rottytops: He's unconscious... But where's the Shadow?

Shantae: He's long gone... Maybe scared off...

Rottytops: We have to be prepared just in case right?

Alex: *Groaning*

Shantae: Let's get him inside and help our friends get some rest...

Rottytops: Just the two of us?

Shantae: Yeah, how hard can it be?

Rottytops: Oh boy! I can see us now... Future maids...

Shantae: You were always the one with jokes weren't you?

Rottytops: Sure am! *Giving a joyful smile*

~Alex's Pov~

Alex: *Getting up, he found Shantae resting by his side* Hey... You awake?

Shantae: *Waking up, she looked at Alex and was filled with Joy* You're awake!

Alex: Yes... How are the others?

Shantae: All resting...

Alex: Including Rotty?

Shantae: She's practically groveling on the floor...

Alex: *Chuckling just a little*

Shantae: *Chuckling along*

Alex: What about Mimic?

Shantae: We gave him the crystal... Just some rest and he'll be fine.

Alex: That's great.

Shantae: So what's the plan?

Alex: I was hoping you had a plan...

Shantae: Well, maybe we could go on that date?

Alex: But what about the whole "Dark Magic" and games being corrupted?

Shantae: We haven't found any games that need saving so far...

Alex: But y'know...

Shantae: I thought you wanted to go on this date...

Alex: I do... I'm just worried...

Shantae: Worried about what...

Alex: That if we're off guard... That each game we worked hard on freeing will be lost...

Shantae: It'll be one date...

Alex: *Looking at Shantae's eyes*

Shantae: *Doing puppy eyes*

Alex: Alright... *Smiling*

Shantae: *Lighting up with glee*

Alex: You and your eyes...

Shantae: I did get them from your little brother

Alex: *Smiling*

Shantae: Anyway you should get some rest... You did take on a Shadow today.

Alex: Alright...

Shantae: Night!

Alex: Night Shantae.

~Miguel's Pov~

Risky: You not sleeping?

Miguel: Yeah...

Risky: After the beating you took?

Miguel: Yup... After the beating I took.

Risky: Somehow you act like me... in a way...

Miguel: I do?

Risky: Well, you're persistent and a whole lot of things.

Miguel: What are the "A whole lot of things"?

Risky: Some things I would describe myself.

Miguel: Like bad?

Risky: Besides that, anyway, why aren't you resting?

Miguel: I'm just wondering how our enemies found us...

Risky: That is something to wonder about...

Miguel: They found our friends in the hospital and now they found us here...

Risky: It does seem odd...

Miguel: I wonder if they could be tracking us somehow...

Risky: That's kind of absurd...

Miguel: Maybe Shantae's magic could be leading them here...

Risky: Could be that or...

Miguel: Or what?

Risky: Mimic?

Miguel: How?

Risky: Well wasn't he turned into a Shadow?

Miguel: Oh...

Risky: They could be trying to get him...

Miguel: Right but how did they find our friends in the hospital?

Risky: That I don't know...

Miguel: I might have an idea...

Risky: But let's just think about it in the morning... I'm tired...

Miguel: Yeah you're probably right...

Risky: *Opening the door* Ladies First...

Miguel: *Yawning as he entered* Thanks...

Risky: *Snickering*

Miguel: Hold on a minute...
