Liz:
Light...
All she could see was a bright light...
The lizard reached up and started to rub her scaly head. It was aching, just like the rest of her. What happened? She had trouble remembering anything, but that probably had something to do with the fact that she felt like she had been hit by an 18-wheeler...
Realizing that racking her brains wasn't going to get her anywhere, she instead decided to focus her vision on something, so as to see if she could figure out where the heck she was. The light from above was still blinding, but she managed to crain her head to the left and saw...
... An IV.
She was in a hospital.
Suddenly, it all hit her at once. All her memories from the previous day came flooding back to her. With this new found realization, she did what any other girl would've done if they suddenly recalled why they were in a hospital...
She screamed.

" Hu-ZuuuuuUUUUUAAAAA AAHHHHHHH!!!" A wall in the room exploded. Smoke covered the room. A heroic figure stood within.  "HARK! The cries of terror reached me! I have answered, fair innocence! Do not advance any further, evil beings!" The armadillo elderly marched out the smoke, with a strong look that could make anyone tremble...at least that's what he thinks. But he's a short guy with a big mustache that masked most of his face. "Or you will face...." "THE MIGHTY BLOCKHEAD BIIIIIILL!!!" Cue the thunder. |

Liz:
The lizard's eye twitched for a moment. A random armadillo had just crashed into her hospital room and was threatening some non-existant enemies. Granted, considering what she had just remembered, he would've probably been a little more helpful before she wound up here, but...
"Dear Chaos..." she muttered, glancing back at the IV, "What do the doctors have me on?"
She returned her eyes to the armadillo.
"Uh... 'Bill'..." she adressed, recalling the name he gave himself, "I don't think there are any bad guys here... It's a hospital..."

And then a very irate nurse stepped through the hole in the wall, glaring at the senile old armadillo.
"Now look here sir! We appreciate your chivalry, but right now this building is under a structual crisis! We would all greatly appreciate it if you do not put any more holes into the hospital; it might just end up collapsing on us all!" the nurse scolded.
Because even though the nurses didn't look nervous about it, the patients forgetful, and visitors ignoring it, the top half of the building had just been kamakazied by a giant airship of unknown origions.
Then the nurse, figuring that she no longer needed to scold anyone else, left the two on their own.

"....Oh! Uh...sorry about that, medical female aid. I seem to lost my touch on telling the differnce between a cry from danger from a cry from the needle." The old hero scanned the room, and remembered the words of the nurse. "So, this building has suffered horror, did it not? A deed a villainy if I ever heard of one! Tell me of the tale, young medical person!" |

Liz:
While the presence of the armadillo was sort of explained... The whole situation was still confusing the heck out of the lizard. Why was she in a hospital? What's this talk about "structual damage"? Was this Bill guy completely off his rocker?
However, there was one question that was haunting her much, much more than the rest: What happened to her friends?
"Um... Excuse me?" the lizard interrupted, "But could someone mind telling me what the heck is going on here!?"

And the nurse paused on her way out. Did one of her associates forget to infrorm these poor people about what was going on? In all possibilities, it was likely. She stepped back in, giving a comforting look to the lizard girl in the bed,
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise no one had told you what has happened yet. You see, about an hour or so ago, a giant aircraft crashed into the upper levels of this hospital. We managed to get at least some of the patients out before the fire trucks came..." she paused and sniffed, "Well, anyways, needless to say the hospital is in pretty bad shape, although lower levels like this one don't seem to be too damaged. This place seems to be better built than those Gemini Towers that went a few years ago."
Deciding that she might as well be the one to take care of these patients, she began to check Liz for bruises, broken bones, and normal things like blood pressure, eyes, reflexes, etc.

Liz:
"Thanks..." the lizard mumbled as she was poked and prodded for any abnormallies, "My name's Liz... You wouldn't happen to know how I ended up here, do you? The last thing I remember was... Losing really badly to a bunch of robots..."
Bringing up the robots suddenly caused Liz to remember something else: her friends.
"Ah!" she gasped, panic suddenly rising in her voice, "Are my friends here!? Are they alright!? Please... Tell me they're okay!"

"Hmmm...I see." So that tragic that already came...he was too late to stop it. He always hated when things like this happens when he's not around. Bill thought of leaving, but the young girl seemed to be concerned for her friends. He might as well listen, incase if they are hurt, or captured by villains. |

Liz:
The nurse didn't seem to make any response. Maybe she was so absorbed in doing her medical duties that she had no time to answer her. Maybe she still thought Liz was still a little loopy from being knocked out and ignored her. Whatever the case, Liz still continued her pleading. At the very least, this Blockhead Bill guy seemed interested.
"Please... My friends... Check your patients list... They're Matt the Wolf, Nate the Ferret, and Shaun the Deer... We were all attacked by those robots on the road from Emerald Town... They gotta be here, they have to be..."

The nurse looked up from her duties, giving another symathetic look to Liz, "I'm sorry dear, but I know just about as little as you do. Though if what you say is true, and your friends got injured as well, it's likely that they're in the hospital somehwhere." she explained.
"However, I wouldn't go wandering about until your wounds heal some more. You'll likely aggrevate them, and perhaps reopen any that have closed." She finished putting fresh bandages on where needed, and checked Liz's temperature, "Although, you are recovering quite nicely I must say."

Liz:
Liz looked down at her bandages and let out a sad sigh. She knew the nurse was trying to be sympathetic, but she couldn't shake the feeling that her friends weren't there. After all, they were attacked by robots, which (usually) screamed the work of that Dr. Eggman guy. Didn't he like to take people prisoner?
"Look, I appreciate your help..." Liz began, "But I have to see if my friends are alright. How long until these wounds heal?"
Then, she remembered something else: Last time she checked, Matt was the one who was carrying the group's money. If he wasn't here...
"And... Uh... How much is this hospital stay gonna cost?"

"That was what I was thinking, too..." Liz replied. This Blockhead Bill character may have been a little... excentric, but he sounded like a nice guy.
"I hope you're right and that everyone's here at the hospital," Liz continued, addressing the nurse, "but I just can't shake the feeling that my friends are being held prisoner somewhere and I'm stuck here trying to recover!"

The nurse blinked at the surname "Nega", but otherwise said nothing. She turned back to Liz.
"Well, hopefully they're safe and sound- your friends. As for your wounds, I'd say a day or two and you should be able to check out dear." And then she smiled, but this time her grin held a bit of a mischevious look, "Due to Station Square's... nature, I suppose, of being bombed, blown up, torn up, flooded, burned, invaded, and other such things," she explained, tipping off her fingers for each thing that happened to the city, "City Hall has given the hospital here plenty of funds to help us take care of the injured. Only those with serious injury or prolonged stay have to pay, and even then it's not much." her smile became just regularly happy then, "You're fine dear. You don't have to pay even a single ring."

Liz:
The lizard let out a huge sigh. At the very least, she wouldn't be in immediate debt as soon as she recovered. Still, she'd have to find a job pretty soon if Matt had indeed gone MIA... Which she certainly hoped wasn't the case.
In the meantime... Liz let out a huge yawn. Funny; she had just woken up, and now she was tired again! Must've been the meds.
"Well... Thank you," she replied, shifting her position in the bed to get comfortable again, "I appreciate all you've done. Oh, and Bill..."
She turned to the armadillo.
"... Would you mind doing something for me? Could you check around the hospital and see if my friends are anywhere? I... I just really want to make sure they're alright."

Stepping closer to her bed, the old hero nodded, "There is no feat big or small for I, young one. Very well! I shall seek your young comrades, or my name isn't... (A mighty pose) THE MIGHTY BLOCKHEAD BIIIILLLL!!!" (Cue the thunder.) And he was off, racing out the room to action! "Uh..." he poked backed in the room. "What do they look like?" You could probably picture Katie walking in, muttering, "Blockhead..." |

Liz:
Liz groaned. This Bill guy was definately a few rings short of a 1-Up, but at least he had good intentions.
"Well..." she began, thinking about her companions, "There's Nate. He's a ferret: somewhat tall, semi-muscular build, and has very light-brown fur. Talks with a bit of an Australian accent, too. Then, there's Shaun. He's a deer who's about your height if you include his antlers and has dark brown fur. He's a bit of a nerd, too. And Matt... Sigh... He's a hansome young wolf who..."
Liz suddently stopped and began blushing tremendously (which was pretty impressive, considering she was a cold-blooded animal). She was doing it again: Talking about Matt like he was her boyfriend! And to a (almost) complete stranger, too! Talk about embarassing!
"I mean... Uh... He's a grey wolf about my height. Yeah... Please, you have to find them!"

The moment she finished, Bill already ran to action, charging through the hospital halls and running through those in his path. "HU-ZUUUUAAAAHHH!!!" |

As soon as the armadillo made his exit (again, using less than pratical means), Liz let out another long, sad, sigh, rested her head on the pillow, and went to sleep.
Shaun... Nate... Matt... She had to find them.

(Timeskip) A couple of hours later, after the warrior rampaged around the hospital, Bill crashed back into Liz's room. "Hu-ZUH, young one!" he shouted, standing on the rubble of the wall he plowed through. "I have found your comrade!" |

Liz:
Liz was never one who woke up easily (as her mom probably could've attested to on school mornings), and the effects of her medicine would've probably made her even more drowsy. However, upon hearing about her friends (and the fact that someone had just crashed through yet another wall), she immediately was awake and at full alertness.
"Really!? You found them!?" she gasped, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
She then realized that Blockhead Bill had said "comrade". Singular. He had only found one...
"Who is it!?" she pleaded, sadness once again returning to her voice, "Is he alright!? Where is he!?"

Liz:
The deer... Shaun! So Shaun was alright! She wanted to see for herself, but she remembered that the nurse said she should stay in bed and let her wounds heal.
She glanced down at her bandages and then up at her IV, which was the portable kind that could be rolled around. To heck with what the nurse said; she had to see Shaun.
Slowly and carefully, Liz got out of bed and, using the IV stand for support, walked over to Blockhead Bill.
"Please... Take me to him... And don't blow down any more walls in the process. I don't think this IV could get through the rubble all that well."

The old armadillo hesitantly look at all those...wires that were in the girl. "Uh...I do not think that would be wise, young one. Your young body still needs to settle from it injuries." |

"...Very well then," rushing under her, Bill scooped her over his shoulders and dashed off through the halls. "We are off !" |

Liz:
While Liz was prepared to make her way to wherever Shaun was, she was not expecting to be hoisted over the armadillo's shoulders and carried through the halls at high speed. Thankfully, she managed to keep a grip on her IV stand, so at least that wasn't going to go flying down the hallway anytime soon. Her lunch, on the other hand...
"Gah! Bill!" she shrieked, "You better not try to crash through any walls like this, or I am gonna be bedridden again!"

"Nonsense young one! I never crash through public property!" yet Liz hasn't taken note that Bill sort of has bad eyesight. She could yelp for every time they nearly crash into people, or folks in stretchers. After charging downstairs as frightening as roller coasters, zig zagging through crowded halls, they arrived at a room, where there was someone lying under the covers. Only antlers poked out of them. "We are here!" |

Liz:
The lizard's face paled considerably as she looked at the motionless body before her. The antlers poking out from underneath the covers left no room for doubt: It was Shaun.
"Shaun..." she whisptered horsely before quickly running into the room (while inadvertantly dragging her IV haphazardly behind her), "SHAUN!!!"
She pulled the covers aside, fearing the worst, and revealed...
Shaun, fast asleep, drooling, and snoring loudly.
Liz let out a huge sigh of relief. For a second there, she thought Shaun was really dead, considering his body was covered with a sheet. Looking at the base of his bed, she noticed a clipboard hanging from the footboard. She picked it up and began reading it; it was the doctor's diagnosis.
Patient was found lying unconcious on the road outside Station Square. Wounds suggest that he was the victim of a robot attack, most likely Dr. Eggman's. Although we have treated his injuries, he still remains unresponsive. It is unknown if or when he will regain conciousness.
Liz put the clipboard back and shook her head sadly. Shaun was safe... but that was only a relative term. As for Nate and Matt... They were still missing. For all intents and purposes, she was still alone (not to mention still broke, but her mind was on more important things than that right now).
"Oh, Shaun..." she sobbed, "What am I going to do?..."
