Act 7: “Steel Core Combination Gran Botkaiser”

A certain port base on the outskirts of Casino Police...

The silence was torn apart by the images of three gigantic steel planes that flew in with a roar... When they combined at a point in the void with an earth-shaking sound, they were enveloped in a dazzling ball of light.

And the next moment...!

"'Steel Core Combination! Gran Botkaiser!'"

There, an invincible steel giant with a total height of 400 meters stood towering with determination, with the port and city in its back.

"According to the information, we have confirmed an ultra-high energy reaction!...The strength is unprecedented!"

With a nervous look on his face, he reported to the Steel Giant's right body part, ``Red Iron Orbot,'' which is in charge of attacks.

"It's okay. The evacuation of citizens has finished, so let's clean up as usual."

The one who replied to Noweki was the "Yellow Iron Cubot" whose left body part was in charge of defense.

"Understand the situation. G (Gran) Botkaiser, activate battle mode!"

The person who announced the start of the operation above the two of them was ``Gemerl of Black Iron'', who has a head and chest part and has full control authority.

Then, as if the three had completed their preparations, a gigantic body gradually rising from the sea was displayed on Gemerl's console monitor, accompanied by an alert sound.

A strange-looking giant robot equipped with cupronickel-colored steel spikes...is the ``enemy.''

At first glance, it seemed businesslike...but with determination, Gemerl calmly told his friends.

"Weapons fully open. Battle begins."

It was only recently that the ``enemy'' appeared from nowhere and began attacking this port base.

Orbot is a happy-go-lucky guy, Cubot is a laid-back guy, and Gemerl is a cool guy who doesn't talk much. Peace in the area is maintained by their G-Bot Kaiser blocking the ``enemy''.

At that time, an attack by an unprecedentedly powerful "enemy" occurred. G-Bot Kaiser was waiting for the ``enemy'' with maximum equipment without a limiter.

"Hey, Gemerl. I think what we need to fight together is communication." " That's right. Let's hang out for an oil bar after work~" " ..."

As the two chat with each other in front of their ``enemy,'' Gemerl answers silently.

"...Well, as usual, I'll leave the battle to Gemerl."

The "enemy" approaches slowly. The first eye shines eerily on the matte cupronickel colored body. And the steel spiked blade on its back reminded me of a certain animal. When the ``enemy'' got in range, he lowered his hips and heard a dark driving sound.

"It's as big as us... It's spiny, so why call it a mecha hedgehog?"

<< Zugon! >>

A shock attack that cuts Cubot's carefree talk to shreds! The ``enemy'''s rushing attack grazed right in front of me, knocking off part of my shoulder armor.

"It's so bad! What's going on now!?" "Just scratched me!? Is that the blade...!"

A different level of strength than before. Despite the two men's stiffness, the circling ``enemy'' approaches G-Bot Kaiser in terrifying pursuit.

"...Shockproof defense, 'Cue Shield' deployed!" "Okay! Leave me alone!"

<< Zudoooon! >>

At the moment of contact with the raised shield, the ``enemy'' is blown away by an unexpected large explosion, steps on the tatara, and falls to his knees...!

Cubot's ``explosion reaction shield'' was effective, reacting to the impact by exploding the surface of the shield to counterbalance and counterattack the force. Deals counter damage and has a great first move! That's what I want to say...

"What's this explosion!? Gemerl is terrible! His face will turn into popcorn!"

Cubot, whose face is embedded in the shield and gets caught up in the explosion, becomes battered and violently protests. Bringing a prototype with the strongest weapon backfired, but there's nothing we can do about it now...

Despite the protests, Gemerl attempts to pursue the ``enemy,'' who is still unable to get up.

"Piercing EMP weapon 'Oh Drill' fully released!" "Understood! I will avenge Cubot!"

<< Guyy! >>

Along with the ultra-hard drill with built-in Orbot, a spiral lightning bolt that burns out electronic circuits is fired at the enemy.

<< Gari Gari Gari...! >>

Although the drill itself was blocked by the "enemy", sparks ran through the joints of the arms and smoke erupted from various places...! Electromagnetic pulse attacks are certainly effective.

I can keep pushing through!

.....But then the rotation of the drill gradually weakened and finally stopped completely. Then the Orbot face at the base of the drill protested breathlessly.

"The electromagnetic pulse works here too...and I'm dizzy...I'm not from Gemerl!"

At this point, the self-inflicted damage and separation of allies...G-Bot Kaiser lost a valuable attack opportunity.

The "enemy" turns into a counterattack, curls up and spins at high speed...! The bristling blades of its ball-shaped body emit a dull light, and the next moment it attacks with an attack technique that combines offense and defense.

The only remaining armament is the special move "Ultimate Trinity" using Gemerl's chest cannon "G-End", but it doesn't respond when you press the fire button...!

Zimel shook his head as expected.

This is because this weapon has a safety device that says, ``You can't shoot unless the hearts of three people are united.'' And they had never been able to shoot it before.

It is no longer possible to avoid the attacks of the "enemy"...! Gemerl tried to attack Orbot and Cubot, but they were already at their limit due to severe damage.

"...Emergency measure. Take the bullet with your chest armor!"

Gemerl puts his chest, which is the most heavily armored, forward and tries to deflect the blow by adjusting the angle of reflection, but...

<< Gwashaa! >>

The impact was unstoppable, and it caused massive damage that penetrated the armor...! The giant body is blown away and sinks into the ground, and sparks run all over the giant body as it falls face down.

Gemerl's console monitor displayed a red pop-up informing him of the damage area and the image of the ``enemy'' entering the next attack motion.

"...I could have just disposed of us and protected myself." "To protect us..."

The Orbots see oil pouring out of their eyes as they see Zimel being more damaged than they are.

"...We have to work together! Let's all three defeat him together!"

Two people with shining eyes. Perhaps his uprising spirit was conveyed to Gimmel, who was on the verge of going down, but the light returned to his eyes and he tried to wake up G-Bot Kaiser, who had failed.

And that moment...

Gemerl looked around and saw a sign for an ice cream shop that was a tenant in the building.

"cream......?"

......cream. For some reason, just that word...

Even though he didn't know what it was, just saying the name made him feel a strange surge of strength. There's something behind me that I need to protect...something important.

Protect the cream. Even if this body ends. Driven by this inexplicable but certain feeling, G-Bot Kaiser stands up bravely.

Meanwhile, the Orbots also had their eyes glued to something written on the wall of the base.

A distinctive mark that shows the face of a smiling bearded man with an egghead.

...I will protect this base. That is an absolute command from the ``boss''... That mark instantly brings back the terrifying mission in their memory.

If we don't protect ourselves, we have no future...!

``For Cream!'' ` `I can't really remember, but it's all for the boss!'' ` `To avoid getting angry at the boss!''

There's something I want to protect.

G-Bot Kaiser is enveloped in a dazzling light as his separated feelings become one. The light gathers at the "G-end" of her chest.

"What's this reaction...? The Aegis circuit didn't say 'un' or 'sn'! "

The letter "G" shines on the console monitor. Gemerl nods silently... The three hearts have become one.

"'Hisatsu...Ultimate Trinity!!'"

<< Cool! >>

The ultimate discharge weapon made possible by the latest technology. This amazing plasma erupts in a roar of light that instantly reduces all matter to ashes.

Then, it pierced the center of the ``enemy'', increasing its power and range even further, splitting the ocean in front of it, gouging out the mountains... and eventually grazing the moon in the sky, changing part of its outline. did.

A few seconds after the roar stopped... The ``enemy'', which had become completely ventilated, exploded on the sea with a huge roar.

<< Doggoooon...! >>

The seawater that was blown up to the stratosphere froze at high altitude and reflected light, scattering in the form of a gigantic rainbow tombstone that illuminated several kilometers square.

......Total victory.

The ``enemy'' disappeared without a trace, leaving only G-Bot Kaiser standing there, smoke emitting from every part of his body, turning into an object of victory.

"Severe damage caused by recoil from using G-End"

The three of them can no longer even move, let alone uncombine. Gemerl calmly tells the Orbots.

"Well, since we defeated him, it's not good♪" "It's not good! You've destroyed a lot of things...What are you going to do now, Gemerl?"

"..."

After a long silence, Gemerl spoke in a businesslike manner, but with goodwill.

"Let's go to the oil bar."

...After an atmosphere of excitement...the two, and then the three of them, laugh heartily, forgetting that they can't even move.

Their hearts were united at this very moment, filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride in being able to protect what was important to them.

"After the fight..."

"Amazing! Hey, hey, did you see what you just saw?"

A little while after the "enemy" exploded and scattered...

A little away, on a small hill, Tails was very excited to see the majestic figure of G-Bot Kaiser standing on the battlefield, and Sonic was looking at him with a slightly sheepish smile.

"Tails... your love of mecha is still the same."

Tails, shy after receiving the point, begins to analyze his specialty with a serious expression. During the battle with Eggman's army before the ``incident'', this was indeed Eggman's base, and Gemerl and Orbot were supposed to be hostile to each other there. The fact that it changed into this form...

"I think...Eggman himself may not be able to control this incident."

After a pause, Tails continued.

"I think Eggman's plan was to create a different world that would be more convenient for Eggman. But this is completely different from that now, isn't it?" "Certainly, Eggman's minions, Orbots I don't understand why you're getting along so well with Gemerl.''

Sonic nods at Tails' point.

"Yes, but it's not just that. Shadow's live performance, Emmy and Blaze's fortune-telling and magic, my appearance... There are too many changes happening here and there that Eggman would never have thought of. Moreover, Let's keep the basic relationship intact, okay?" " ...Hey Tails. What do you mean?"

Tails, who was asked this after speaking in one breath, was a little at a loss for words and answered as follows.

"I can't say it well, but...the 'interpretation' of the world...is being overwritten here and there by someone other than Eggman..." " 'Interpretation'!? ...How? To whom?" "I don't know... But otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to explain why there are so many different incidents all over the world, each with its own chaotic concept. ......”

Although Tails tried to say that, he realized that it was such a far-fetched deduction, and his face turned red and he lowered his eyes.

"Sorry, I'm saying something a little strange..."

Tails shrugs, thinking that he hasn't analyzed anything after all. But Sonic grabbed him by the shoulders and said,

"What are you talking about, Tails? You're definitely getting closer to the answer , aren't you? " "...Huh? " If we investigate further to see if something unusual is happening, we'll find out who's behind it, right? We're taking a step forward, aren't we?"

Let's say something. Although she thought that it was just an ``interpretation,'' Tails felt a warm confidence return to her chest.

"Oh, that's right...! Thank you, Sonic!"

Sonic starts running, saying let's go, and Tails follows with a smile on his face. The two of them took one step forward, and then took a strong step toward the future, two or three steps ahead.

Yandere Acromantula w/ child reader

A.N. Okay, so, I should mention that I am not a Harry Potter fan in the slightest but I do find the creatures fascinating. Thus I wanted to write some stuff with each creature. If any Harry Potter character does appear in the writing, they will most likely be ooc because I didn't read any of the books past the first one. Apologies if that upset someone. Also there will be some triggering things when reading this. If something related to the yandere genre, do yourself a favor and don't read. P.S. this is all platonic.

"Hello?"

I called out, hoping to find my parents again.

My parents and I were on a trip to Borneo and we decided to take a tour of one of the jungles there. Sadly, my parents continued along their way while I was admiring a beautiful flower. I was trying to find somebody from my travel group but instead, I was just getting more and more lost. The sun started going down and the forest was getting darker and darker. Tears started to fill the corners of my eyes for my imagination was making shapes and creatures that weren't real.

"Mommy! Daddy! Where are you?!" I shouted, running away from the gruesome creatures of the shadows.

A root was slightly above the ground and snagged my foot. I tripped and spun around on the ground. Like Sonic The Hedgehog's spin attack. I got plenty of different scrapes and bruises but the worse was the fact that my ankle got twisted. I tried to get back up but I couldn't put any pressure on my foot to get anywhere.

'Time to start crawling. It would be better than nothing at all.'

I used my elbows to dig into the ground to start inching forward. Plenty of rocks were digging into my skin but I had to ignore the pain to actually get far away from anything. Eventually, I made it to an area that was covered with spider webs everywhere. The webs were quite large and the silk was extra sticky. You could see the drops on each string. I was doing my best to avoid the webs but I'm not the most careful person in the world.

My arm got stuck in one of the webs and I couldn't get loose from it. I really didn't want to be eaten by a giant spider today. I was wriggling as much as I could but I ended up getting more and more entangled in the web.

"You poor little child. Got stuck inside of my web it seems. What is something as small and weak as you doing in this dark forest?" A silky, woman's voice came in my ears.

I felt myself freeze for a few seconds before and uncontrollable shake started to take over my entire body. My breathing became irregular and shaky. My vision was starting to become blurry with the tears that were starting to form in my eyes. I then felt a presence behind me which made me turn around slightly. That proved to be a horrible decision.

A giant spider was only about two feet away from me. I thought that spiders couldn't talk or if they could, then humans were just not able to understand them. She was covered in black hair and was making a clicking noise that reminded me of my father's snapping. She then brought one of her legs up to brush my hair out of my face slightly.

The tears that were originally staying put started to flow freely down my face. All that I wanted now is my mother.

"M-mommy..." I whispered to myself, thinking that if I said her name that she would magically appear and save me from this situation. With her in mind, I could feel phantom hugs and kisses from her.

"Mommy?" The spider repeated, confusion filling her being, not used to being called mommy.

The acromantula then started to observe her prey and notice certain features that she originally didn't pay much attention before. The little child's sparkling eyes were filled with fear and sorrow but also had a few hidden sparks of curiosity. Their hair was beautifully styled and was fuller than the hair that covered her and her family's bodies. All of the bright red scrapes and blue/purple bruises that were covering their nicely colored skin.

After a detailed scan, the acromantula decided to speak again and try to comfort the crying child.

"You are quite the stunning creature, little one. Especially for a human. Normally, I don't care much for appearances but you, my dear, would be quite a shame to lose. Now, it's time for us to go and meet all of your new siblings. But, let us make sure that you don't accidentally hurt yourself anymore. My birth name is Reina but you can call me Mommy."

Reina plucked me out of her web and then proceeded to wrap a silk cocoon around me at a fast pace. My fight or flight kicked in and I had panic filling my veins.

"N-no! Wait, please!" I shouted, trying to struggle to prevent the cocoon from being made.

"Now, now. No squirming. You don't have to worry anymore. I'll take great care of you. How about to build some trust, you tell me your name since I already told you mine." Reina said, successfully getting silk all around my arms and legs, which also ended all of my struggling.

"(Y-Y/N)." I choked out, my throat tightening from all of the crying and the fact that my fate was sealed with a silk ribbon.

"(Y/N). What a unique name. I quite like that name. Well, I hope that you enjoy your new home with all of your new siblings."

After making sure that I secure on her back, Reina quickly climbed up a tree, revealing how large the webs truly were. She was moving at such blinding speed that I needed to close my eyes for most of it. I reopened my eyes when I felt the wind stop flowing my hair. We made it to what seemed to be a giant web. I could see the ground and I did not appreciate how far it was from me.

Something else that I noticed was all of the giant orbs that were littered around the web. They seemed to be the size of a beach ball but I had a feeling that they were actually beach balls. Reina then removed my cocoon from her back and stuck me to the web. She cut most of the web away from my body except from my back to make sure that I wouldn't tumble down to the ground below. She then took my twisted ankle and started to wrap it. It was an excellently made cast. I just wish it was a human who made it.

"There we go. Now, I want you to stay off that leg of yours. You wouldn't want to go and make your ankle worse. I'm gonna go and make sure that all of your unborn siblings are doing just fine."

So, that's what all of the beach balls things are. They're her eggs. While she seemed to be distracted, I started to observe the web that I was stuck on. It seemed that the webs actually climb down the trees. If I could crawl over there, I can climb all of the way down to the ground.

I started to struggle to try and get off of my back but I quickly realized that was a bad idea. I don't know how to move around the web without falling to my doom. The web on my back was the only thing that was keeping me from falling to my death.

"All of my babies are nice and healthy. Now, it's time to ensure that you won't be eaten the first time that I leave you alone in the web," Reina explained, petting my head lightly with one of her legs, "And then we can have some well needed parent child time together."

Reina picked me up once again and started rushing through the trees. I saw plenty of other large spiders on the way. They didn't seem all that pleased with my presence. I started to shake slightly. Their glares mixed with the deep seeded loneliness of being lost were making near impossible to breath normally. I tried to take deep breaths to regulate my heartbeat. It only worked slightly.

"We're here." Reina said out of nowhere.

I looked behind my shoulder at another spider like Reina. Except he was a tad smaller then Reina. Reina took me off of her back before she started talking with the other spider. They started yelling at each other but I sort of tuned them out. I didn't need to know if I was going to be eaten or not by the male spider.

The male spider seemed to back down because Reina was getting really scary. He only nodded to her before going off on his own. Reina started to let out light clicks. They reminded me of the snapping that my dad would do to me when I was a baby to entertain me. Reina picked me up again and started to carry me back to her web. I was honestly getting really sick of being carried around like I'm some sort of doll for Reina. But I know better than to try and get out of this. Falling to my death isn't better.

We made it back and Reina stuck me on my back once again. She kept on clicking but she was adding more webs around my body. She stuck my hands and legs into a star fish position and I couldn't move at all. After she was pleased with what she done, Reina just laid down near me.

"There you go, all tucked in and safe. Now, let's bring your siblings over."

Reina then rolled all 100 eggs over to where I was stuck and next thing that I knew was that I was surrounded by all of the soft squishy eggs. Reina then crawled over the eggs carefully before lying down on top of me.

"There we go. Now, you won't freeze half way through the night."

Reina then closed her eyes and started click rhythmically. The clicks started to make me drift off to sleep as well. It was like some sort of lullaby.

I don't know how long I was out for. When I came to, Reina wasn't there but I was still surrounded by all of the eggs. The ones that were closest to me were actually tapping me which I found odd. It was like the baby spiders were trying to get close to me.

"Awwww, how adorable."

Reina' voice flooded my ears and freaked me out. I jolted my head towards her and saw her with an animal carcass.

"W-What's adorable?"

"That my babies are already growing close to you! I was worried that they were too far within their growing process to like someone other than their Mommy. But now my fears are fictional."

Reina placed the animal down before crawling over to me. My fear was renewed and I tried to struggle once again but the webs were still really strong. Reina laid down on me again and started clicking.

This became a sort of pattern for the next few weeks. I would wake up, my 'siblings' would be all around me, and Reina would come back with some sort of food for us. My ankle finally healed and Reina spent an entire week to teach me how to walk on the webs. It actually a lot of fun to crawl over each of the lines!

One day, when Reina was out and I finally worked up the courage to crawl down one of the trees, something started happening to the eggs. Cracks started to form all over the shells. Panic was starting to form in my stomach and made me kick my movements into high gear.

I was walking as quickly as I could around the web to reach one of the trunks but before I could reach it, I was tackled to the web by one of the newly hatched spiders.

"Sibling! Sibling! Sibling!" All of the new born spiders started chanting around me.

"H-he-hey! N-n-n-no. I'm not your sibling."

"Yes, you are! We recognize you!"

I kept trying to distract all of the young ones but eventually, I was being chased around the web in a weird version of tag. Thankfully, I ended up tiring a few of them out but in the end, I was the one who ended up losing all of their energy. The not tired spiders crawled on top of me once again while the more tired once crawled onto the dog pile.

I tried to squirm my way out from underneath all of the children but I couldn't move an inch. My vision started to fade. I guess that I was more tired than I originally guessed. I woke up to Reina's laughter. I felt her legs lightly stroking my head.

"This is such a welcoming scene to come back to. My babies hatched and to see them cuddling their older sibling. This is everything that I could have dreamed of when I took you in. The best part is that I can sense that you are not of wizard heritage. Which means that you can't use powers to get away from us, plus anybody who might try to look for you wouldn't know that we exist. What a perfect scenario."

My mind went blank at her words. Wizards are real. I shouldn't be too surprised considering I'm having a conversation with a spider right now. I heard a tiny yawn before a shout of "Mother!" was sounded.

All of the tiny spiders crawled off of me and started to crawl on Reina. I started to try and crawl backwards towards a tree trunk but Reina took notice of my movements and shot out of silk, sticking my leg to the web.

"Now, now, (Y/N). I know that you're as excited as I am but you must stay here for now. Now, my children, I'm hoping that your older siblings did a good job of entertaining and taking care of you while I was gone. Who's hungry though? I've got a lot of delicious food for all of us to feast upon." Reina spoke, successfully getting all of the young spiders crawling towards the food.

Reina watched over her children before turning her gaze towards me. I started shaking because now, I had no chance of escaping this web. Why couldn't the children have hatched tomorrow?!

"Come now, my child. We must feast as well."

Reina sliced through her web and held out her leg for me to grab. She was glaring at me, sort of taunting me to disobey her. I forced myself to grab her leg and I started walking to the food.

"That's my good child."

DAY 2: FLINCHING

-A part of another au where Sonic is secretly working for Mephiles(he was forced to). -( was inspired to write this by watching Enemies to Lovers TikTok compilations on YouTube)

-not really edited.

(Link above and same stuff below)

Sonic was heading to the kitchen of his house. He had just finished taking a shower and was hungry for some food.

Across the other side of the kitchen was Shadow. It wasn’t a normal thing where Shadow would show up at his house with his own mug. Their eyes locked and Sonic knew that something was going to be brought up this day.

“Hello Shadow.”, Sonic greeted politely. “How’s it going?

“I know that you’re up to something.”, Shadow said immediately, cutting through any friendly pretenses.

“What ever do you mean?”, Sonic grabbed a chilldog from inside the refrigerator. Shadow stared at the blue hedgehog’s hands. Sonic didn’t have his gloves on at the moment. They were left on the counter near the front door.

“I’m just eating a chili dog right now. Nothing suspicious about that.” The blue hedgehog said sarcastically, waving the chili dog to prove his point. His rival had the uncanny ability to know when he was going to do something dumb and life threatening to everyone(including himself). Sonic had almost gotten caught by Shadow because of that ability. But he wasn’t going to admit to anything right now. It just wasn’t time.

Shadow frown and put down his empty mug forcefully. It cracked open with a loud cracking sound, and Sonic had seen it all go down. The noise reminded the blue hedgehog of the punches Mephiles would throw at him when they fought against each other in a ‘Training session’.

Sonic had been on the verge of dying, had been on his very last legs before the demigod healed him up. The session would then repeat again multiple times until time was up. Needless to say, Sonic developed responses to certain things that involved Mephiles even if they didn’t.

Because those responses were now ingrained in Sonic’s head, he couldn’t help but flinch at the sound and immediately get into a defensive position to block a blow that he knew was not coming at all.

It wasn’t until the silent hit that Sonic realized what a mistake he made. He lowered his arms down and saw Shadow staring at him with what looked like to be concerned and anger. The black and red hedgehog made his way fast across the kitchen area and had Sonic backed up against the wall. 

”Who’s hurting you?”, Shadow demanded. He looked very upset and was incredibly close. 

”No one.”, Sonic lied. The blue hedgehog wasn’t ready or able to tell anybody about what he’s been up to in secret.

Don’t lie to me, Faker!” Shadow grabbed Sonic’s wrist and showed him his very visible bruises from a ‘training session’ with Mephiles. “You didn’t get those bruises from me, Eggman, or even from Amy’s hammer. 

‘Damn.’, the blue hedgehog thought. ‘I should have put my gloves back on before trying to get a snack real quick.’

”Get off of me right now, Shadow.”, Sonic said struggling against Shadow’s hold on him.

”It’s them isn’t it?”, the black and red hedgehog interrogated. 

“Who is them?”, Sonic asked confused. 

“You know who. Whoever the mysterious person you’re dating is. They are the one hurting you and keep you away from us.”, Shadow explained.

From the corner of his eye, Sonic saw Mephiles staring at them through the window.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Shads.”, Sonic laughed nervously. He kept glancing to the side. “I’m not dating anyone and I’m definitely not getting abused or something.”

“Your brother thinks you are and I have to agree. You’ve never acted this way before. Everyone is worried about you.”, The black and red hedgehog said concern. And under his breath he added,“I’m worried, Sonic.” Shadow slightly squeezed Sonic.

Sonic glance again at the window. Mephiles was still standing around his house. Shadow’s shadow copy was still waiting for him. That was never a good sign. He needed to get out of here quick and figure out what the demigod wanted.

”Why do you keep glancing at that window? Is there someone there?, Shadow asked looking back. Taking advantage of the distracted hedgehog, Sonic took this opportunity to pushed the other off.

Shadow stumbled back a bewildered. 

”I need to go.”, Sonic said as he dusted himself off of habit. 

” No. Not until you tell me what the hell is going on with you.”, Shadow demanded.

“Sorry, Shads but bye!”, Sonic yelled out as he raced out the door and into the forest.

Shadow quickly followed behind. Sonic wasn’t too concerned. While Shadow was almost as fast as him, he still wasn’t as familiar with the woods as him. So within minutes, Sonic managed to loose him in the dense green landscape.

The blue hedgehog caught his breath in a small clearing. “Well, that was interesting.”, Mephiles said teleporting in front of Sonic. “I have new orders for you.”

“What are they?”, Sonic asked, wasting no time on formalities. 

“Stealing Shadow’s Chaos Emerald.”

“What?!” Sonic exclaimed shocked. “Why?”

“You got three days.”, the demigod continued. “You are well aware of the consequences of failing,”, Mephiles transformed his hands into the same sharp crystal claws that threatened to kill Tails and the rest of his friends if he had refused to join him and the ones used to beat the living crap out of him while training. “Right?”

“Crystal.”, the blue hedgehog said while fidgeting with his gloves. 

“Good. Don’t disappoint me.”, Then Mephiles left Sonic alone on his own devices.

The blue hedgehog kicked a pebble out the way. “Fuck.”, he cursed. Sonic had no clue on how to get that emerald away from Shadow and he had a deadline. It was times like this where Sonic questioned where did he go wrong in life.

-Whenever you would try to cuddle him or sneak your hand in his, the hedgehog would bitterly pull away and huff from embarrassment, but he starts to reconsider his actions once he sees the hurt emotions on your face. He would never want to hurt you in any kind of way, nor convey the wrong attitude. As tough and cold as he is, he returns the favor with affection such as hugs and head pats as his way of saying sorry, you being able to catch the slightest of red tint on his cheeks.

-Prepare to catch him being extremely overprotective of you. When in battle with Dr. Eggman or any other such as a simple fight with a competitor, he wouldn't let them come near you or even touch you! He will remain right by your side the entire time, whether you try to move away on purpose or not, He.Won't.Leave.Your.Side. If whoever in battle with does come to end up placing a single finger on you, You can catch the Dark Hedgehog overreaching or seemingly ticked off. -Next Thing You Know, there will be no mercy saved for that person...- He also at times would try to hide you away from any trouble, even if it was a playful fight with Sonic or Silver, he doesn't want any of them to play too rough and harm you by accident.

-He.Gets.Jealous...Not only does he remain silent, but he plots on how to get your attention as you speak without noticing. You could be talking to anyone such as Sonic, Silver, Knuckles, Tails. Heck, even Espio, Vector, and/or Charmy and Shadow will behave like a menace verbally. His first tactic would be cutting the conversation off short with an excuse such as 'I remembered a mission that will be due soon with me and ______.' Or 'You'll have your time later, I need to talk to ______ for a moment.' And somehow get his way. If that doesn't work, his second tactic is to start a conversation with the person himself, so he could distractingly wrap his arm around you and give you `His` attention instead of wanting yours first. If both doesn't work, he would make it obvious by growling and crossing his arms, turning his back on you and the individual as a sign of jealousy and anger.

-He never wants you to show any signs of being concerned for him. If you affirm your worried thoughts to the Hedgehog, he would reassure you that he is in a completely sane state. You know exactly what he means by that statement, but he doesn't know that isn't what you mean. He mistakes it for physically, such as injuries or locations, but that's not all. Worried for him you are, but also for him mentally and emotionally. Just thinking about the way he acts and all that he went/goes through makes you emotional for him. Shadow tries his best to help you not think about it in the best way he can by giving you a gift of your liking or taking you to a place that he goes to himself to keep calm when in a state of worry or stress. He sits next to you and talks about his recent and past troubles so you wouldn't feel alone, then gives more secret signs of affection by mentioning that 'people worry for the ones they Love'.

-Shadow tends to listen to you talk, he thinks your voice is beautiful. If you were trying to say something (and Shadow noticed it) but somebody in the group kept cutting you off, The Ruby eyed Hedgehog would shut their mouth one way or another, whether it's by words or actions, and though he isn't fully ambitious about it, he still takes his time to find a way to only surround his hearing completely with your voice (Unless you can't talk, he would still bring his attention on you <3)

-Though Shadow doesn't need sleep, he only does so when you beg him to, or convince him that it's better to feel relaxation than keeping yourself up. Each opportunity you get him to, he would somehow get you into dozing off with him. If the hedgehog chooses to do it, usually his procedure is to sleep alone in peace, but because he knows that your bond with him is unbreakable, he allows you to join him sometimes. When the two of you are asleep, he would hug you tightly to him if a nightmare creeps in, and just by you hugging him back, he calms his mind and rests better thanks to you.

+He doesn't really eat or drink either and gets really grouchy if convinced to eat food he is unfamiliar with, but if he knows you made or cooked it, he'd be happy to enjoy it! (That's if you know how to make food) ^^

-He loves when you fiddle with his fur and ears! To him, your hands are very soft, and always dreamed of just holding them forever, which is another reason he let's you mess with his ears and fur. If you ask him to make his tail wag, he would sigh and simply turn his back on you, trying not to participate in any of it, but then because his back is facing you, you see his little hedgehog tail sway from side to side speedily, making it obvious to tell that he enjoys making you happy because it makes him happy. His ears twitch when he hears the simplest of a noise, even if he were to make the sound himself, and you find it so adorable!! You pet and cuddle him everyday, making the stubborn hedgehog in attempt to hide the blush on his face from embarrassment, or receive a groan from him, but you know he's just trying not to show his soft side.

-He loves you so much to the point that you guys argue on who loves each other more, which is unlike of him, but it surprises you to find out that he's actually serious about it...

-He drinks coffee, and though he keeps what he wants to himself, he shares with you. (SHADOW CAN'T HELP HIMSELF!! ❤❤❤)

A/n: Hi Guys! Thank you so much for reading this! I didn't expect myself to enjoy writing these so much! This whole thing overall took me an hour and a half, so I hope this is good for you guys. I'm feeling a bit tired, so I might take a break for just a little while. I hope you all have a wonderful day/night! Love you all! <3

Summary: Kuro sleeps in Mahiru’s room while the Greed Pair are staying with them. (KuroMahi)

“For once, I’m a little thankful that my uncle is away on a long business trip. We can tell him that you’re a cat that I adopted. I don’t know if he’ll believe I made friends with a famous pianist and his pet hedgehog though.” Mahiru whispered to Kuro so they wouldn’t wake Hyde and Licht sleeping in the room next to theirs. “I hope you don’t mind sharing a room with me, Kuro.”

After the chaos at the hotel where Hyde’s Jinn was released and Tsubaki escaped, C3 sent Hyde and Licht to a hospital they ran. They sneaked out of the hospital and arrived on Mahiru’s doorstep. They asked him if they could recover in his apartment rather than the hospital run by C3. Mahiru understood why they were distrustful of the organization and he agreed to let them stay.

His apartment only had two bedrooms though. Kuro would sleep in his uncle’s room previously but he thought it was better to give it to his brother and Licht. He was more injured than he was. He planned to sleep on the couch until Mahiru asked if he wanted to sleep in his room. Kuro didn’t know why he was disappointed when Mahiru brought out a futon for him to use.

“I’m surprised they’re so quiet. Usually, they’ll start fighting after five minutes of talking to each other. That fight with Higan must’ve made them too tired to argue. I don’t know how I should feel about that. It’s easier to sleep when they’re not yelling but I’m angry at Higan for hurting my brother.” The futon Kuro laid on was placed next to Mahiru’s bed and he saw him lean over the edge of the mattress. The only light in the room was the digital clock on the table and it washed his face in a blue hue. His brown eyes still shone in that dim light and stood out in the darkness.

“We haven’t spent a lot of time with Hyde and Licht but, from what I’ve seen, they do care about each other.” Mahiru stretched out his hand to Kuro and his fingers brushed over his cheek. He moved his hand down to grab the blanket and pull it over his body more. While his touch lingered on his skin for only a moment, his warmth remained. “I’m glad they’re not arguing so we can sleep. After everything that happened over the past two days, I’m exhausted. How are you feeling, Kuro?”

“I would say that I’m tired too but that’s my usual state of mind.” He shrugged. His answer made Mahiru laugh softly and Kuro could easily picture the smile he had at that moment. They mumbled goodnight to each other and he listened to Mahiru’s breathing only a few feet from him. Kuro was tired yet he couldn’t fall asleep with so many things on his mind.

He thought of everything that happened over the past few days. Kuro had decided to face Tsubaki and stop the war without anyone being hurt further. However, he knew C3 would make that more complicated if they inserted themselves into the war. He didn’t know their motivation and he could only pray they’ll help his brothers after they lost their Jinn.

No matter what happened in the future, he would protect the people important to him.

Kuro turned onto his side and he stared at Mahiru’s hand hanging over the bed. He wanted to trace his finger over his palm but he stopped himself. When he locked himself in the black orb, he didn’t think Mahiru would follow him to his inner world. Even more unexpectedly, he still accepted him after he witnessed his greatest regret. Mahiru’s words resonated in his heart.

He fell in love with Mahiru long ago and the past two days had only made him more important to him. Kuro wanted to continue to hold his hand but he didn’t know whether Mahiru returned his feelings. He decided to confess to him once the war was over and he could give him the simple life he always spoke of. He turned away from him and then settled himself under the blanket.

Kuro heard the mattress springs creak behind him and he thought Mahiru had woken. He was facing away from Mahiru but he knew the moment he had slipped into his futon. He laid mere inches from him but he could feel his warmth against his back like the sun. Mahiru’s breath brushed over his neck as he asked, “Were you hurt, Kuro?”

“Aside from a few scratches, I’m fine. Those things heal quickly since I’m a vampire so you don’t need to worry about me.” Kuro told him but he was able to hear a deeper concern in his voice.

“I couldn’t see the fight between you and Tsubaki because there was so much Jinn.” He stared at the glint of the chain holding the bell he gave Kuro. Wearing a necklace while he slept was uncomfortable but Kuro wore it to keep it close to him. Mahiru leaned his forehead against his back and sighed. “That entire time, I was scared that you were going to be hurt and I wouldn’t find you in time. I called your name but you probably didn’t hear me.”

“I heard your voice.” He said. Mahiru’s hand on his back relaxed and he let out the breath he was holding. Unconsciously, he closed the small space between them and nestled against his strong back. He didn’t know whether he heard his voice over the chaos due to the contract or something deeper. He only knew that he was happy when Kuro told him that.

Mahiru flew above the treetops on his broom and he evaded the large beast who clawed at the air. He couldn’t believe that the beast was Kuro. They were sent to London to search for a power that could help them stop Tsubaki. At first, Kuro was reluctant to free Sloth from the rose because it would endanger Mahiru. Unfortunately, they didn’t have time to find another method they could use. Tsubaki had the souls of Tokyo hostage and he would destroy the city in a few short days.

Thinking simply, the answer is us. Mahiru had spoken those words to Kuro when they made their contract. Yesterday, Kuro had repeated those words to him. Those six simple words had given them both clarity in a chaotic moment and it reminded Mahiru he didn’t need to face the future alone. He had Kuro. He could face anything as long as they were together. Most people would call him lazy but Mahiru knew he was dependable.

They agreed to have Kuro fight Sloth while they had a few precautions to keep Mahiru safe. He looked down at him and he recognized Kuro’s red eyes. The beast couldn’t communicate yet Mahiru was able to understand it. His eyes held a mixture of fear, desperation and determination. Kuro was fighting Sloth within his inner world and Mahiru needed to do his best to survive the night as well. Kuro would blame himself if anything happened to him and he didn’t want him to have regrets.

He fought against the urge to call out to him. He felt afraid that it would distract him or draw Sloth’s attention to him. While he trusted Kuro’s strength, Mahiru wished that he could help him fight within his mind. He had always protected him and he wanted to do the same for him.

The beast lowered its head to the ground for a moment and it stopped moving. Mahiru thought that Kuro had managed to defeat Sloth. He couldn’t be certain and he cautiously lowered his broom so he could face the broom. Mahiru reasoned that he could fly away quickly as long as he kept his distance. He flew towards the beast but the movement of his Lead was strange. His brows furrowed and he immediately knew that something was wrong. He tried to lift his broom higher again.

“I gave you this power and I can take it away.” His heart dropped when he heard Sloth’s voice behind him. Cold hands reached around him and wrapped themselves around Mahiru’s. “Don’t scream, I’ll catch you when you fall.”

His broom vanished and became shadows, leaving Mahiru suspended in the air for a few moments. He realized that the beast had stopped moving because Sloth left its body to take his Lead. Sloth had sensed his presence when he flew closer to him and he created a plan to force Mahiru to fall into its fangs. Mahiru barely finished the thought before he started to fall.

The air rushed around him yet he felt as if he was falling slowly compared to how his mind was racing. He tried to summon his broom again. Mahiru only managed to turn himself in the air and he faced the ground rapidly approaching him. In the corner of his eyes, he saw Gear and Youtarou run to save him. The beast pushed them aside and stood beneath him.

Mahiru didn’t know if Kuro or Sloth currently had control of the beast. He closed his eyes and called his name. “Kuro!”

A hurricane of Jinn suddenly erupted before him and it slowed his fall. He opened his eyes and he was in the middle of the storm. Mahiru could barely see in front of him and he didn’t know where the others were. He recalled when Hyde lost his Jinn and the hotel room had become completely white. He yelled Kuro’s name again and he reached out his hand.

A hand reached through the thick clouds and Mahiru didn’t recognize it at first due to the claws. He recognized the warmth though. He grabbed his hand and he was pulled forward. Kuro flew in front of him and kept him falling with an arm around his waist. He was no longer the large beast and he now had a more demonic form. He wore demon horns and large wings.

Mahiru threw himself forward to hug Kuro and wrap his legs around him. He wasn’t worried that he would drop him and his only thought was to be close to him. “You heard my voice.”

I’ll always hear your voice, Kuro thought to himself. When Mahiru called his name, he found the strength to take control of Sloth’s power to save him. “Let’s go home, Mahiru. I want to take a long nap.”

Sonic Heroes: Sweet or Shite? - Part 1: SILVER

There are some heroes I like. And there are some heroes I don’t like. But why do I feel about them the way I do? That’s where this comes in.

This is a series in which I go into slightly more detail about my thoughts on the heroes in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and why I think they either work well, or fall flat (or somewhere in-between). I’ll be giving my stance on their designs, their personalities, and what they had to show for themselves over the course of time. Two things to keep in mind:

1. These reviews will be focusing mainly on game portrayals. Though alternate media will occasionally be mentioned, it'll be for the sake of adding onto a point if a portrayal is similar enough, or to compare and contrast if a portrayal is different enough.

2. These are just my own personal thoughts. Whether you agree or disagree, feel free to share your own thoughts and opinions! I don’t bite. :>

Anyhow, for today’s installment, I decided to challenge myself by starting off with a complicated one. Born from the future, and never content to stay put in said future, it's the saviour whose debut came from the most unfortunate game... Silver the Hedgehog.

The Gist: Once upon a time, in the distant future, there was an idealistic young hedgehog named Silver, gifted with the power of telekinesis for reasons unknown. With his amazing potential, he was truly destined for a wonderful, prosperous li-just kidding, it was shit.

“All two of us.”

For as long as he knew, the world was forever plagued by Iblis, the terrible Flames of Disaster. Cities stood in ruin, flames stood high, the floor was lava... it was a bitter life to be certain, all thanks to Iblis. Not even defeating the titular creature did much good, since it would simply come back to be a shitty boss fight another day. What was he - and his friend, Blaze, a character we definitely never saw before and definitely didn't have a completely different backstory before - to do?

Trust the first person he sees, of course. Even if they look like they might be related to the same Flames of Disaster that he fights so constantly.

If he had eyelids, he'd be winking at the camera.

This mysterious fellow, Mephiles the Dark, informed Silver that if he were to wipe out Iblis for real, he would need to take a trip into the past, and eliminate the root of the problem... Sonic the Hedgehog? That was what Mephiles claimed, yes. What was his proof? There was no proof.

That was good enough for Silver.

Oh look, it's Fleetway Sonic.

After an elaborate series of events, which should sound exciting but really isn't because it was just Silver going “Iblis Trigger grrr” in varying tones of voice, he was finally able to corner the blue hedgehog... twice! And despite having less fighting know-how than the hero who saved the world plenty of times, he effortlessly came close to killing the blue hedgehog... twice!

This looks like a jobbing for...

Why twice? The first time was halted by Sonic's friend Amy Rose, who Silver had met beforehand after she mistook him for Sonic, an understandable mistake that even the keenest of eyes would be forgiven for making.

The second time was also interrupted, this time by Shadow the Hedgehog. There's only room for one controversial non-blue male hedgehog in this franchise, sonny boy. Actually, his reasons were more benevolent than that: he wanted to show Silver the truth about what was going on, by time travelling to the incident that gave birth to Iblis. Why was one able to to this, so long as more than one Chaos Emerald was present? No one knew.

That was good enough for Silver.

“I challenge you to a dumb-off.”

As it turned out, Iblis was one half of a sun god called Solaris, the other half being the aforementioned Mephiles. The Duke of Soleanna wanted to reunite with his late wife by harnessing Solaris' power, which succeeded from a certain point of view since he's dead now too. The resulting blunder split Solaris into two halves. One half was all brawn, with little capacity for intelligence. The other half was Iblis.

Understanding the error of his ways, and after making peace with Sonic, Silver went back to the future to try something different, which consisted of doing the same thing he always did. Luckily for him, the script decided it would work this time, albeit at the cost of Blaze sacrificing herself... Maybe? Sort of? It’s not entirely clear what happened to her, and it’s not like this was the last we ever saw of her.

~La laaaaaa, la laaaaaa, la laaaaaa, heading to a better game, la laaaaaa~

But ohhhhh nooooo, turns out THAT didn't solve anything either! In the present, Sonic was killed by Mephiles, after the latter realised he should probably do that already if he wanted to make any progress at all with his plan. This incident led to Iblis being brought into the present, and they fused to become the omnipotent Solaris once more. Such power... such divinity... such devastation...

Actually, he was really easy. The antlion from Underground Zone was harder.

Manchild robots - 1, god of time - 0.

With their super forms in tow, Silver, Shadow, and the revived Sonic joined forces to defeat Solaris, with Sonic in particular going the extra step in retconning Solaris out of existence entirely. Since time itself reset, meaning Iblis was no longer a memory, Silver's timeline was given a second chance. What was he to look forward to in this new, promising future?

Shit.

The Design: Let's take a closer look at Silver's appearance, shall we?

Or rather, a certain thing that's wrong with it.

He's holding up fifteen fingers.

Yes, you all know what I'm pointing to: the hairstyle. Let it be known that I'm very aware of the intention behind this design choice. It's supposed to be based on the Japanese Red Maple Leaf, which holds a lot of relevant symbolism for Silver's character. This is a fine idea in theory, and I can respect the intent and the creativity.

But here's the thing: If it looks like a ganja leaf, people are going to say it looks like a ganja leaf. I know some fans will gnash their teeth at me saying this, but the fact of the matter is that intentions and ideas, no matter how good they may be on paper, don't always translate well into the final product. Unleashed Secret Rings Black Knight Sonic '06 in general is certainly no stranger to showcasing examples of that, and Silver's hairstyle is no exception. There are ways to incorporate symbolism in a character’s design without making them look like meme bait in the process, and no amount of “umm ackshually” will change that, I'm afraid.

That said, there's another reason why I'm staying clean of Silver marijuana: it doesn't work for a hedgehog character. With the other hedgehogs, their hairstyles are simple and get the point across: Sonic's goes without saying, Shadow's is more angular to befit a slightly rougher hero, and Amy's is a cute bob cut of sorts. But Silver? Even without the ganja, you've still got the two tentacles making up the back of his head.

I'd rather not be reminded of hentai quills, thanks.

“I thought Crusher-san would like it :’(”

I do find it hilarious that they went through numerous designs for Silver, and this was what they chose to go with. Some of his prototype designs may have fared better had any of them been used instead... but we didn't end up with any of those ones. We ended up with this one, therefore I'm judging this one.

But don’t worry, it’s not all bad with Silver...

The Personality: As far as actual character goes, Silver's personality is as straightfoward as most characters in the series, yet it's no less interesting, because it took a while for it to fully evolve to what it currently is. The seeds of his character - a good-natured yet awkward and rather insecure kind of guy, who doesn't fully understand how the present time works - have always been there, but it was often downplayed in earlier titles due to him being hungry for Iblis Trigger blood... or being an arsehole for no reason.

Although to be fair, everyone in Rivals is an arsehole for no reason.

Eventually though, after the writers gave him a Snickers, these traits got more opportunity to shine. Mostly in side media admittedly, but it's been noted in the games as well. With no Iblis to angst over, he's proven to be a surprisingly bubbly chap, who just wants to know how you're all doing, fellow anthro kids. And whereas his naivety was previously used for intended tragedy to benefit the evil plan of a guy who thought taking the -istoph- out of Mephistopheles would make him inconspicuous, now it's been used for a bunch of low-key contexts that do a much better job at endearing him to the player.

Finally, something I can relate to.

Hell, he even seems to have learned from the Mephiles incident, as he was quick to make it clear to the next shadowy deep-voiced anthro with demonic eyes he met that he wasn't gonna fall for any of them fibs no more, ya hear?

“YouTube and Twitter don’t count.”

All in all, it works well enough, in my opinion. His personality does pave the way for some funny and wholesome moments, and since they’re no longer trying to build him up like he’s Shadow 2.0, he's nowhere near as much of a tool as he was before. So I guess you could say... I like it?

Does this mean I can say that I like the character as a whole then, design and '06-induced idiocy aside?

Well, not quite...

The Execution: This is where the complication part comes into play. We know now that I like his personality, not so much his design, but that's only the half of it. It would be more accurate to say that I like his personality... and dislike everything else.

Aside from that, obviously.

For starters, the creation process for his character and story was summed up with, in their own words, “Think Trunks from Dragon Ball Z”. So he comes off as rather lazy and uninspired. Now I'm not expecting my Sonic characters to be 100% unique, there's always going to be similarities to other franchises no matter what you do, even if subconsciously or by complete coincidence. Taking inspiration in itself is no big deal at all.

But... was that it? Copying a DBZ character to such a blatant extent? Was there no other thought put into it?

Naturally, this ties into an overarching problem: the franchise's mid-00's habit of trying way too hard to be the anthro Dragon Ball Z. Sonic has had DBZ influences since the early days, with the Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic, but it didn't assimilate itself into every waking aspect of his universe. It was merely an additional flavor that added to the complete package, in the same way that a Death Star with a moustache didn't mean the franchise was suddenly Star Wars the Hedgehog.

But come the turn of the millenium, nearly every main title in the series ended with Super Sonic and/or Super Shadow saving the day, while everyone else either stood around being useless, or only helping in ways that no one actually cares about. Including the in-universe President apparently, since only Sonic and Shadow were featured in the photo on his desk.

Amy smiled. “I guess the rest of us can go fuck ourselves, huh?”

This reached its peak with - of course - Sonic '06, with Silver in particular being an obvious result of this then-ongoing trend. And yes, it would be unfair to use him as a scapegoat, considering it was already a problem long before he turned up. But moreso than even Shadow, it's an era that Silver is forever a relic of, for better or for worse.

But it doesn't stop there. Since Silver is considered a mainstay character, his gimmick of being from the future also creates problems of its own, because in order for him to make further appearances, he keeps turning up for little explained reason, and thus he suffers the Deadly Six problem of being shoved into places where he doesn't belong, for fanservice's own sake. Take Sonic Colours DS for example, where he went back in time JUST to check out Eggman's theme park... Okay...?

On one hand, I’d visit it too, since it's made by Eggman. On the other hand, I’d stay clear of it, since it's made by Eggman.

And when there IS a justification with more weight to it? It's just recycling the '06 routine of trying to avert his ruined future, which isn't much better. The cause may differ depending on the story, but if his future is a permanent shitehole for one reason or another, he might as well cut out the middle man and stay in the present altogether, since that's where his friends are anyway. But they seem intent on not doing that, despite the future schtick being a noose around his neck at this point.

In hindsight, maybe this was a hint to how the rest of the arc would turn out.

And then there's his dynamic with a certain purple cat... No, not Big. The other one.

“I’m here, by the way.”

Simply put: I don't like this dynamic. At all. Or rather, I don't like how they keep milking it. Blaze's backstory was radically changed to justify her presence in Silver's future, and it really shows, since she barely even shows up half the time, as if the developers themselves forgot she was in the game. But her backstory has since been restored to her original alternate dimension interpretation, so hanging around with the grey hedgehog is all good now, right?

To be brutally honest, I probably wouldn't care for this dynamic regardless. But I would be more willing to tolerate it, and I'd refrain from groaning every time they're seen together... if they weren't intent on playing it up so much in spite of '06 being wiped out, sometimes with a bit of commentary involving their thoughts and memories, which only succeeds at making things more confusing. If Blaze is around, Silver will be nearby, and if he's not at first, he will be soon enough. This franchise does have a problem in general with restricting who's allowed to interact with who (I personally believe Sonic Heroes may have led to this, or at least it accelerated it), but I'd argue it's at its most insufferable here, with Blaze's potential and her entire world taking a backseat to being the sidekick of Ganja Man.

And you might say “Well, it's part of the franchise now, so you'll just have to accept it”. To which I ask: Have you accepted Two Worlds? Have you accepted Solo Sonica? Have you accepted Sonic's friends not doing much as of late?

Yeah. That's what I thought. “It’s just how it is” doesn’t mean you can’t criticise it.

Meanwhile, Marine is lucky enough to get so much as a shout out.

So yeah, I have quite an extensive list of grievances involving poor Silver. But... very little of it has to do with him, right? They're all indirect problems that he just so happens to be linked to, as opposed to someone like Chris Thorndyke, who is genuinely a shit character through and through. This is more comparable to Tails being bitchy in Lost World, or Amy being manipulative in Chronicles, or Sonic being a smug dumbass in IDW, or Shadow not wearing a Hawaiian shirt in Boom. Frustrating, regrettable, but not really the character's own fault.

Yet even after all that, there's one last kick in the teeth... How do you fix all this? And how do you fix it when he's since gained a sizable fandom, many of whom like him for these very attributes? If you leave it as it is, you're stuck with this big, awkward mess that everyone pretends to ignore. If you try to do something about it, you'll get complaints about disrespecting the True Silver Spirit, and you’ll get questions about why you didn't create a new character instead... And if you did use a new character for the sake of a clean slate, THEN you'd get complaints about not using Silver.

It's a tough call to be sure, and it's such a shame because like I said, I do appreciate his personality, so I can't say he's bad outright. But with all this... clutter, I can only put him in the average category. So, in he goes.

Crusher Gives Silver a: Thumbs Sideways!

Well, I'm glad this one's out of the way. Putting my thoughts into words with Silver was harder than it should have been. I do slightly regret starting this series off on a rather downer note, but rest assured, it's a lot more positive from this point onwards, since while I have higher praise for some heroes more than others, the hero characters as a whole fare a lot better than the majority of villains not named Eggman.

I guess you could say that I hope to show why Sonic's friends aren't as shitty as the haters would suggest. ;)

Shadamy oneshot| Free me of myself

Trigger Warning: see end notes.

The warmth of heavy breaths against a thick, wide and curved, cold window briefly stuck on the glass. The repeating cycle of condense licking the glass like soot to the window pane of a wood stove to evaporate as quickly as it had appeared was mesmerizing in a strange way. Then again: this entire scenery was.

From the sharp contrast of the cool metal floors and walls with their blue and greenish tones to the warmth and fierce illumination from the sun onto the planets. From the horrifying atmosphere inside with haunting memories clinging to his throat to the breath-taking spectacle outside.

Both aspects took his breath away and both endeavoured swallowing him inside their mighty-strong vibes, consuming him and lift him out of his body. Although their tones couldn’t be further away from one another, either of them had a traction so strong it reminded him of an approaching tsunami. One that’s still building up its’ devastating fortitude before it’d curl over him and swill away everything on its’ path.

This place was one of the very few things capable of leaving him frozen. Every time he came here it happened. And yet he kept coming back. He had to. Felt obligated to. Wanted to. Yes, a part of him longed to be swallowed entirely by the darkness and relive the events that haunted him to this very day. The feeling grew on him particularly around this time of the year.

Overcome by a returning urge to pay off his debts and right his mistakes, being plagued by this gruesome guilt felt like it needed to be done. It was the only darn thing he could do; be here and endure all of it; the depression, agony, indignance, failure, grief and self-loath. It was a bitter pill to swallow.

If only it were useful. If only it could bring you back.

But it wasn’t and it would never change being like this, for she was gone- forever. It left Shadow to be standing lifeless on the ARK. His open palms pressed against the glass while all he could do was breathe in and out again, eyeing the condense on the window. The sensation of the cold glass against his hands was the only thing keeping him grounded by now.

Every year when he paid this cursed place a visit it he heard her voice just when he was on the edge of giving in to the menacing shadows that tainted his past. As bright, gentle and hopeful as no other, the sweetness of her voice invited him to step out of the shadows, into a shower of light. With a single effort she freed him of the relentlessness he felt towards himself, blaming himself for her death.

But not this year.

There only was the mundane silence that was usual for this place. An insecure frown curved his brow and he squinted his eyes when he shifted his glance towards the light of the sun. The view on the planet of fire, when seen from the colony, was accompanied by many halo’s, each of them reflecting the constantly changing spectrum of colours upon the rays of light. They seemed capable of catching you and dragging you into space if you stared into them for too long.

With a dull glance in his crimson orbs, Shadow gazed out the very window Maria and he frequently had watched the blue planet, always dreaming of the day they’d set foot on it together. A renewed sadness whirled inside him, churning his stomach to the point where it nauseated him and clenched his open palms into fists.

He hoped to feel her presence here. He desperately longed for it; the one that always changed the hurricane whirling inside him on the day of her death into a much gentler breeze. Every year since he had awakened he came here and every year he’d felt something of her, something that allowed him to carry on. On an unconscious note his friend, while having passed a long time ago, still had the capacities to change his mind. There were only few he could give credit to when it came to that.

Have you… forsaken me, Maria?

Shadow’s pulse accelerated to a crazy high pace, even for the ultimate lifeform and he sank down to his knees. While his heart thumped against the insides of his chest so fast it felt like it would burst through, he cried. The thought of his first friend rejecting him even after she passed literally just hurt so bad! The pain cramped his chest together and he struggled to breath.

Sudden acoustics, her voice without doubt, called out to him on the abandoned colony, a whisper with the impact of a scream.

‘Shadow, it’s time for you to let go of me.’

“You’re wrong! I will always keep remembering you! It’s the only thing I can do…”

He pictured her bright blue eyes and friendly smile in front of him. Tightening every muscle in his body he forcefully attempted to transfer image of her into a physical presence, into reality. The line between his messed up mind, memories, wishes, dreams and reality grew thinner by the minute. He was almost certain she was here, almost able to see her. Almost.  If only he tried a little harder.

‘It’s time you stop blaming yourself, Shadow. I don’t want to see you like this. Please, let go of the past for there’s others who need your help now. You will only imprison yourself if you keep looking for me and my sacrifice will be left in vain. Remember why you were created Shadow. It’s the key to your freedom.’

The voice slowly extinguished, dying out into the darkness to be replaced by a suppressed, wheezy howl. Shadows’ cries were abruptly disturbed by an extremely loud bang elsewhere on the colony, a crash that shook the ARK in a rough way. Normally the alarm would have sound, but Shadow had turned off the electricity. He did that sometimes when he felt gloomy, feeling it added to his mood.

After wiping his tearstained face he rose and turned towards the elevator, prepared for anything and nothing all at once. He was NOT in the mood to fight. Still, there were a lot of strong, negative emotions to fuel his strength. Even so, his mentally unstable state of mind switched between the urge to conquer any opponent and the thought of willingly getting killed. They battled for precedence inside him and he was unsure which one would win.

“Sweet Chaos! Shadow!?!”

The black and red striped hedgehog couldn’t decide which of their faces looked more awestruck when they regarded each other; Amy’s or his own. He flinched and stiffened up when she took a few steps towards him, the sound of the heals of her boots clanking on the metal floors. She noticed and didn’t pursue, trying to lock her eyes with him, but his gaze went right through her. Eventually he turned around walked up to the window again, wishing to escape both her presence around and gaze upon him. Amy followed his lead and joined his stargazing.

Ever since Shadow and she became more acquainted with one another, they discovered they were quite compatible as friends and hung out more often. The two hedgehogs appreciated the other’s pureness, call it a rawness if you will. He respected her and accepted her for who she was; the good, bad and the ugly. Amy’s assertiveness, strength and straight-forward attitude were highly valued by Shadow. Even though his confidence barely ever seemed to be shaken, it was clear that was the occasion tonight. Shadow heaved a sigh.

“Tell me how you got here.” He finally said.

“Hey, if Knuckles can fly a rocket here, I figured I could too. So, I broke into one of Eggman’s old bases and took the liberty of borrowing one.”

Shadow rolled his eyes on her.

“You’re crazy, you know that? You could’ve gotten hurt with no one around to save you.”

“I made it, all right?! I’m more concerned about you right now.”

His bloodshot, red eyes met her emerald ones for a moment and then the moment was gone.

“I’m fine. Just wished you hadn’t come up here.”

“Shadow, I’m worried about you! I know what today is…”

“I said I didn’t wanna hang out tonight. HECK, I EXPLICITLY told you I wanted to be alone tonight. And yet here you are, forcing yourself on me when I asked you not to. Ever heard of boundaries?”

“Fine, I’ll leave if you want me to.”

“No, you’re staying now. I can’t have peace of mind when I know your safety might be compromised when flying a rocket back to the planet on your own.”

“You’re saying you had peace of mind before I came here? I’m not stupid, okay?”

“I wasn’t. That’s why I wanted to be alone. This doesn’t concern you.”

“Well it does now, since you’re making me stay.”

He shrugged and shifted his gaze back to the countless stars in the never-ending shades of different blue’s that coloured the heavens. Shutting himself off from Amy and the ARK, his heart ached for a hint of Maria out there. Even if it were a last goodbye, but the closest thing he could find was the disapproval his childhood friend would’ve had regarding his rude attitude towards his friend now.

“Does her presence still linger around this place?” Amy dared ask after a long silence.

“It used to, at least on this day.”

“It doesn’t anymore?”

“She… told me to move on, let go of her. Or at least that’s what entered my mind when I sought her.”

 Normally Shadow would have hesitated to tell anyone about any of this, feeling it didn’t go with his down-to-earth attitude. Amy was the exception on this to him. She strongly believed in a connection between the visible and the invisible so he need not to fear being laughed at. He figured she’d be able to understand the visions he’d had of Maria and how he’d heard her voice.

“Anything else?” She asked like it was any other ordinary topic.

“That I should stop blaming myself. I don’t know if I can. I don’t know if I want to. It’s the last thing I have of her.”

“What is?”

“The guilt I can cast upon myself.”

“Shadow…”

Amy’s eyed filled with a compassionate sadness. She reached out to him to rest a hand on his shoulder. When he did not protest, she stepped in and carefully enclosed him from behind in a warm embrace.

It puzzled her that Shadow usually wasn’t fond of physical contact and yet this was the second time she hugged him like this. The first time was on Prison Island, when silly 12-year old her had mistaken him for Sonic. He never showed a sign of discomfort or tried to shake her off. They stood there for a while, his arms hanging limp along his numb body.

“Maria’s right.” Amy said. “It’s long time for you to let go of that guilt. You’re not to blame for anything that happened here.”

“I’m the reason why they flew up here to shut down the facility. I’m the reason she’s dead.”

“No, G.U.N. is. They’re the ones who conducted these crimes. Their terrible policy and way of handling the situation is the reason she’s dead. There’s no excuse for the way they misinterpreted and poorly handled the situation. There’s no excuse, no explanation good enough for killing the people up here the way they did. And…”

Amy bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment.

“I don’t know if you’ll agree with me, but Maria chose to free you. She might’ve been able to save both of you or herself instead.”

“Are you saying it’s her fault for getting shot?” Shadow sneered at her.

“I’m not. Just saying she did what she did and with that she left you no choice. You can’t be guilty for something you had no hold on. It was out of your control. She freed you because she knew the reason behind your creation. She knew your potential, Shadow. It was her choice, not yours. There’s no point in punishing yourself now.”

She hugged him tighter and rested her head on his shoulder. With Amy’s words still echoing on in his head, a vague, translucent image was drawn before his eyes. Maria. Shadow wondered if it was a figment of his imagination and whether Amy was able to see her too. The blonde girl smiled a serene smile of hope and reached out to him, covering his hands in hers. A pleasant tingling radiated from them, reassuring him that his pink friend was right.

Maria regarded Amy for a second and gave her a warm smile. Then the blue of her eyes and the dress she always wore faded into the darker blue of the starry skies, leaving them behind. It was just Shadow and Amy now. She still held him and he let her.

“Did you see…?”

“I did. I saw her too.”

Shadow now freed himself of her embrace to face her. The storm clouds that were reflected in his eyes before had vanished. With a new peace of mind, the kind he’d never experienced before, he cleared his throat.

“Bless you for being such a stubborn, persistent soul, Amy Rose.”

“No biggie, we’re friends. I got your back and I’m sure you’ve got mine.”

He gave her a single, yet assuring nod.

“Let’s leave this place. Whadd’ya say?”

“I wanna fly the rocket. I think I really got the hang of it!”

“You seriously expect me to believe that after the ever-so-graceful landing you performed here earlier?”

 “Hey- …I!- That was a rough patch, okay?!”

 “Understatement! You almost shook the ARK out of its’ orbit. I bet you wrecked the place.”

Shadow cocked a brow at her before giving her a playful push. She snorted when she eyed him. Amusement sparkled in his eyes at the thought what the heck of a ride it must have been on that rocket, giving her awful piloting skills. It was another ridiculous outcome of her impulsive nature. The two burst into laughter, their cackling echoing on throughout the colony.

With Amy already in his arms to warp them back home Chaos Control-style, he glanced back at the window. The translucent vision of his childhood friend respawned again. He felt this was their final parting and for the first time, he’d made his peace with that. She waved them goodbye before dissolving into the background, sending off millions of stars into a meteor shower. Her calm, gentle voice resounded throughout the universe for the last time:

 Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog.

Notes

I wanted to do a short story on Shadow’s and Amy’s friendship and how she’ll help him cope with the loss of Maria. I believe that Amy’s headstrong, yet endearing sweet personality allows her to change Shadow’s mind sometimes like we have seen in SA2 before.

Yashahime News - The Seven Colored Rainbow Pearls! - Theories and Analysis

https://youtu.be/4yxJ_sm_qck

On September 11th we saw the Sunrise Music Festival Livestream. They said that Souta will play a bigger role in Yashahime and that they wanted to create something that the Fans that grew up with InuYasha and that have became adults - Can enjoy. I did make the post about it, so you may have already seen what I said about it when the Sunrise Music Festival happened on September 11th. I will just say that my wife was not very happy about me staring at a screen for four hours. But hey we also got to see Towa's voice actor, all she really said was the synopsis. But still, fun. I think I completely dissosicated from that because of how long we were watching it alongside my group chat friends. Alot of them passed out directly after because we were exhausted from staying up just to watch this whole thing for more possible information. So we're crazy dedicated to this. The voices for Adult Kohaku, Hisui and Takechiyo have been announced - Ryohei Kimura will be the role of Kohaku Takehiro Urao will be Hisui Ai Fairouz will be Takechiyo [I apologize if I said those names wrong in the video] Here is the translation for Yashahime Keyword number 13 #13 Shikabane [Dead Body Shop] It is a bounty shop that trades heads and the remains of youkai. The owner of the shop, Jyubei, hires Moroha and Takechiyo. Moroha works with Takechiyo, like it had said in Moroha's early translations that she does work for the Shop. It even mentions Jyubei in that translation! So this would be the second time we hear about Jyubei. There's definitely going to be some Bounty Hunter and Demon Slayer conflict. Which is probably why we see Moroha and Setsuna fighting in the trailer. It would make sense for them to have competition because of their jobs. An idea of what could go down for that fight - Setsuna: This is my job to exterminate this demon. We need the parts for our armor and weapons. Moroha: It's MY prey! We sell the parts! The demon slayers could buy the parts from the Corpse Shop for their armor, maybe at some point they can agree and collaborate. But I think it would be nice to see them being competitive with one another at first, and then come to some sort of an agreement. The Corpse Parts shop can supply the Demon Slayers with the material they need for their weapons and armor! They could have some nice sort of trade going on for parts, armor and weapons. So, Jyubei. Who is this guy?- Well, I think it's possible that Jyubei is the new character we see in the poster. I say that because their clothes are tattered like Moroha's. Which gives me the feeling that it's gotta be a signature Bounty Hunter look for the Corpse Shop. That's saying if it's not Shippou or another character that we can think of. What do you guys think? I think it's possible that character is Jyubei. I mean, it also could just be some other character that is a traveler based on the attire. I previously stated that I theorized that there could multiple colored pearls because of the name being rainbow, and because of what was shown to us on the Yashahime Website We have confirmation that there is multiple colored pearls for the rainbow pearls. It was stated in the Yashahime keyword #14 Rainbow Colored Pearls A jewel that enhances the magical power of youkai. It is said that there are seven-colored pearls, as the rainbow-colored name suggests. I know what you're thinking - It's like Dragon Ball or Sonic the Hedgehog. Well Dragon Ball was also actually inspired by Hakken-Den which was a famous Edo-Era Japanese novel, Akira Toriyama said that was his inspiration in Dragon Ball Bouken Special. In Hakken-Den there was eight and he didn't want them to be the same exact number - So he had changed it to seven. If you look at the image, they all sparkle the same as Setsuna's eye does from the trailer. The Shikon jewel sparkles in the same way, as these clearly look a lot like the Shikon Jewel as well. Let's hope that we didn't have seven priests or priestess have to make these...I'm Kidding! I previously talked about how Moroha also has a red pearl on/or in her shell and that it could hold memories or someone is trapped there such as InuYasha, Kagome any of the others. As we know that pearls have to do with memories and portals. However, it's unknown if certain abilities are only exclusive to certain colored pearls and it's something that I'm looking forward to finding out about. So we can also take that possibility into consideration that the different colored pearls may do different things as well. Now we can speculate more on all of the colors that could be related to the characters. We know that there are seven colored pearls based on the Yashahime Keyword but on the site there also is an 8th one that is a Black Pearl. If we want to see about linking these pearls with the characters - We can base the pearls on color palette and also speculate by using the InuYasha Cafe Pictures though some of them are different colored we can still use this as our map. InuYasha Cafe was created to celebrate and promote Yashahime so we can use this as a possible idea for speculation on what the colors could represent. I'll put Miroku inbetween Sango and Shippou, as his colors are in the middle. However, it's more likely that Miroku would be tied with Sango. As we can also speculate if two characters can relate to one pearl as well. We can swap some of these around based on the various artworks, or even the characters color palettes. Such as InuYasha as red - Kagome wore green for a lot of the times, Sango wears pink in her demon slayer armor, Kirara for yellow, Shippou as blue, and Miroku as purple. Maybe Sesshoumaru in the middle. I think it's also a good idea to use The Final Act's Opening as reference as well. - InuYasha would be green - Kagome would be red - Miroku would be yellow - Sango would be blue - and Shippou would be Pink Any of these could be right or wrong. [InuYasha-Red,Kagome-Pink,Sango-Blue,Kirara-Orange,Sesshoumaru-Yellow,Rin-White/Grey] Now, what's interesting is that the Official Yashahime website still has an unclickable pearl. It also reminds me like how Setsuna is missing her memories. Gotta wait on that update for us. We can even speculate using the first Yashahime poster - since Moroha has a red pearl, she is represented by red, that Setsuna is represented by Purple and that Towa would be Blue. The thing is, the pearl that is currently still unclickable on the website may be the purple or pink pearl. If it's supposed to be purple - which would be like Setsuna's color palette suggests on the first Yashahime poster. Though, it could just be a pink pearl. We still don't know if Moroha's pearl is a special pearl, or just for decoration. It's up for speculation as of now. Of course these character colors may have nothing to do with the pearls, but I will say that it's ironic that Moroha does have a red pearl, InuYasha's color palette being red does match the InuYasha Cafe art, and well he is most known for wearing the red robe of the fire rat. While Moroha's color palette on the poster is also red. We also can speculate that each pearl may simply be a fraction of memories that are missing. These memories may be related to the characters or unrelated to the characters. There's a chance that these Pearls could be the other characters memories besides Setsuna. Could these pearls even hold their souls? More hidden places in these pearls? We do know that Setsuna needs a Rainbow Pearl to recover her memories, it could be that she just needs one or multiple as each could represent a fraction of her memory. We're getting closer to the air date. LET THE ANXIETY CONTNUE. Or, you could be excited. Or BOTH! Hosenki's son said it would take him 100 years to create a Black pearl, it could be that Hosenki himself made these. Unless these are newly made experimental pearls that his son made. I wonder how old these could actually be. Hosenki's son did say that his father used all of the pearls before he passed away. But, you never know if there was some secrets none of them knew about. It's possible Jaken's staff could help them find these pearls, besides just the black one. The Black Pearl being the 8th hidden pearl could lead us to InuYasha or of course the Inu no Taishou's grave. It could be that these pearls were not made by either Hosenki or his son, there's always the possiblity of these being made by another Oyster Demon. As there could be others that we don't know about. Their origins are such a mystery, and I can't wait to find out what their history is. I'm guessing the pearl in the middle will be called the white or grey pearl. I'm just saying this based on the website because it shows the darkest color pearl at the bottom, which we can assume is the Black Pearl. Unless they decide to call this middle pearl, a black pearl as well. But as we know from the information given to us, they will recover Setsuna's memories for sure. These pearls make demons stronger and I like that they took the idea for the Black Pearl and made them multicolored. As obtainable items that increase power, similiar to what we had seen with the Shikon Jewel. I've previously talked about that - There's a possibility when all of the colored pearls are collected that they can combine and create one whole rainbow pearl. If the characters are sent to different dimensions in each pearl, I wonder if time passes differently inside of them. It could be that the others would be sealed and perhaps not even age. Someone wanted to know how long I think Yashahime will be? Well as a season I guess would be 24-26 episodes. There's a lot of times that we have anime that run on 12 episodes, but since I think Yashahime will do well - Around 24-26 atleast. I also don't think that they will reveal who the mother is of Towa and Setsuna right away. I think it will be revealed later on, as they want to keep our attention on watching the series. I think it would be very quick for them to finish Yashahime in one season, especially with the idea of collecting seven pearls - so I think that they should do more than one season. Here's to hoping that it will be more than one season, but I still will be content with one season that wraps up well - Because this is an InuYasha Sequel we are talking about. It is a big deal to me. I know it's a big deal to a lot of people. What do you guys think? Are you guys excited or what? October 3rd is coming up fast!

.

It was one of those easy days for Sonic. After the long run, he softly made his way through the Resistance HQ's. The automatic doors opened and as he took some steps forward, he was bombarded with the liveliness of the place. The Resistance was a rusty place, it definitely needed remodeling but to the blue hedgehog, it gave a comfy atmosphere. It smelled like wet soil, one of Sonic's favorite smell, he even ran to places that were raining just to smell it and have the pleasure of it. He expected to be greeted by the other agents but it seemed like they were too busy to care that he was here. They ran to what it seemed to the Resistance's main room. As Sonic made his way through the halls, the agents bumped into him. They always apologized to him but they made sure to keep their eyes on the location.

Sonic had finally reached the Main Room where it got complicated to get in. The agents all pushed each other, standing on their tippy-toes to try and get a look at the immense computer that was placed right in the middle of the room.

"What is all of this fuzz about?"

Sonic looked at the Mobian next to him, a green wolf boy with glasses who seemed way too excited to be here.

"Captain has gone to a mission for the first time!" the green wolf's stayed stuck on the computer's screen, not noticing that the one next to him was no other than Sonic the Hedgehog. "I've only heard stories about how great of a fighter Ms.Rose was! I can't wait to see her in action-"

The green boy finally turned to look at the blue hedgehog and he gasps at the realization. One of his idols was standing right in front of him, the blue hedgehog was one of the reasons why he joined the Resistance, in the hope that he would see him one day.

And that day was today.

"Amy for sure is a skilled fighter but," Sonic said, he smiled at the green wolf. Although he didn't care for fame, it was fun to see other's reactions to him and it lowkey raised his ego. "What is she doing out there in the field? I thought she was always too busy to take on missions."

"Captain Rose said that this mission was too dangerous for any of us to take," the wolf boy said, looking around the room nervously. "And she couldn't contact anyone from Team Dark nor Silver and Blaze and you weren't here nor Knuckles so she decided to go by herself."

Sonic knew that Amy was strong and she could perfectly take care of herself. Nonetheless, there was always this feeling of uncertainty, he cares too much for her to give a blind eye on the situation. His eyes were now glued to the enormous computer screen. For now, it was only blue and the screen had the words 'connecting...' as if it was waiting for a transmission to start. The agents still pushed each other to try and get as many people inside as possible. However, all chatter and movement were stopped the moment they saw that the computer screen no longer showed the previous words. Now it was showing live footage.

"How are we seeing this?" Sonic asked again as he could perfectly see the pink hedgehog he missed so much showing up on the screen.

"Mr.Miles sent a small android to accompany Ms.Rose, it's recording live," the wolf, although he was very excited to see his idol, he also wanted to see the heroine in peace. Mentally he wished Sonic stopped asking questions and instead just enjoy the show along with him.

The blue hedgehog didn't know what was going on and actually, he didn't need it. The flying android allowed everyone to see live the adventure of Amy Rose through the gigantic computer screen displayed in the middle of the room.

With no further actions, Sonic just lay back and relaxed, waiting for Amy to display her abilities.

The screen showed the pink hedgehog walk towards an army of egg bots. Probably around 50 of them or so Sonic thought, maybe even more.

"I don't want to hurt any of you but ..." Amy's voice had deepened and her stance was strong. To Sonic this was unknown, he had never seen Amy look so ... strong. "But if you don't give me my friend back in three minutes ... I won't have an option."

The Eggbots didn't think about it for a second and they were fast to throw a metallic spear at Amy.

Sonic flinched instinctively, and he shook aa little. However, he was relieved and surprised to see that Amy very calmly only moved her head to the side to dodge the spear.

"Is that all you got?" Amy said. Instantly the agents in the Main Room all stare at the computer screen in awe.

"Come on! Shadow's Chaos Spears are better than that!"

Sonic didn't know what to be more surprised at. That there was a possibility that Shadow had thrown a Chaos Spear at Amy or that Amy thought that Shadow's Chaos Spears were weak.

As if to answer her question, all 50 robots threw metallic spears at the pink hedgehog at the same time. Amy was quick to pull out her hammer and with it, she ricocheted the spears back at the Eggbots one by one.

The Main Room of the Resistance was filled with excited screaming, cheers and applause as they watched their captain being a total badass. Sonic meanwhile, was remembering the day Amy let him carry her hammer. The famous Piko-Pink hammer wasn't heavy ... it was impossible to pick up. Sonic could only lift it a few centimeters of the ground once and that was it. Watching Amy move it so easily and with such a fast technique made Sonic ... sightly impressed, he had to admit that much.

He continued to watch the screen as saw Amy ran at full speed towards the Eggbots. She was fierce and fast, using the strength of her hammer she would destroy each robot that dared to stand in her way.

Amy threw her hammer and it landed directly in the Eggbot that was guarding Eggman's entrance to his base. She did a backflip as to dodge the spear attack of one the Eggbots and finished, she landed a kick that went right through the Eggbot's metallic inside.

Amy snapped her fingers and quick her hammer appeared in her hand again. The pink hedgehog destroyed everything in her way. She had such a unique technique and stance that he had only seen been accomplished by a very well trained black hedgehog.

The green wolf looked at with excitement at the computer screen in front of him and he controls the need to fanboy his platonic crush. He looked next to him and found something rather amusing. Sonic the Hedgehog was utterly impressed and he could tell by the way his green eyes opened more as each second passed by.

Sonic had always known that Amy was an extremely gifted fighter ... But holy Chaos she was utterly strong. He knew for sure that the pink hedgehog had done some training in the six months that he was gone running around the world. Her fighting style reminded him of Shadow and Sonic wonder if they had spent some time training together while he was gone.

He would be lying if he said that the thought alone didn't bother him. Sonic trusted the love Amy had for him but he also knew that the pink hedgehog could bring the best out of people ... and a certain black hedgehog may have liked that about her.

However, a certain sense of proudness filled the blue hedgehog's soul. Watching the Resistance's agents fanboy and fangirl about his favorite pink hedgehog, made his heart smile. He wanted to face them, point at the computer screen and tell everyone, 'Look at her! Isn't she so cool! That's my Amy Rose!"

Although he was too shy to ever say something like that out loud.

The android that Tails made to follow Amy had suddenly stopped as the pink hedgehog entered Eggman's base. As if they were watching a movie, the agents and Sonic were waiting for their Captain to come out victorious of her mission. However, panic began to overtake them as the computer screen showed Eggman's base lit up on fire, bombs after bombs were detonated. Sonic held his breath in as to stop himself from running and finding her.

"Come on Amy ... Get out."

A few more seconds passed until finally, the pink hedgehog came out of Eggman's base victorious. Carrying in her back, a very well known red echidna.

The Resistance exploded in cheering and screaming, clapping. Sonic couldn't stop feeling a great sense of peace and especially, happiness. He began to cheer as well, even if Amy wasn't able to hear him. Sonic went as far as to give the green wolf next to him a small hug, which took him by surprise.

That was Amy ... his Amy.

.

When Amy came back to the Resistance, she was greeted by cheers and applause from the other agents. Although she wasn't badly hurt, there were some cuts and wounds that she needed to take off. She was in the infirmary, where Knuckles was sleeping in his bed peacefully. He had gone to Eggman's base to retrieve one of the Chaos Emerald but he had run into trouble and Eggman captured him.

So, of course, she had to go and save his butt again.

Not like she minds.

She was putting a bandage around her right arm when suddenly, someone entered the infirmary.

It was her favorite blue hedgehog.

"Sonic! I wasn't expecting you to come here today," Amy said, still seating on the edge of her bed.

Sonic smiled as she walked towards her and took a seat next to her. "Yeah, I was passing by ... So, how are you?"

"I am good, I definitely had worse," Amy was still trying to tie a bandage around her arm and seeing her struggle, Sonic took over her task. She blushed a little seeing act so kindly towards her.

"I saw you on your mission today," Sonic said concentrating his sight into treating Amy's bandages.

The pink one looked at him, her blush getting redder by the second.

Sonic looked at Amy as he finished tying her bandage. "It was dangerous."

Amy felt a sense of guilt wash over her and disappointment came with it too. The last thing she wanted was to make Sonic worry about her-

"But it was really cool, too!"

As Sonic smiled, Amy's heart skipped a bit. "The way you use your hammer was so cool! The punches and kicks! The way you moved your way towards the entrance of Eggman's base was out of this world-"

For a second, Amy thought that she had died in that mission and she was now in heaven. The love of her life was not only taking care of her, but he was praising her as well. Like an excited child in a candy store, Sonic was listing all the thing he loved about Amy without realizing.

"You were so cool, amazing, fantastic and-"

"For Chaos ..."

Their moment was interrupted as they turned their attention to the red hurt echidna in front of them.

"Would you two just kiss already?"

Scars You Can’t See - Chapter 3

Chapter Title: Under the Radar

Word count: about 2400 words (sorry it’s short)

(I’ve made one minor word choice change)

Note: I’m renaming brands so that the story flow works better- Chatter is this universe’s version of Twitter.

First | Previous | Next

Rouge had gone out undercover early in the morning, finding disguises for the team. Shadow hadn’t accompanied her and instead elected to sleep in, feeling ridiculously exhausted after the events of the last two days. He’d slept so well last night, and he refused to let it go now. So he had mumbled a drowsy “okay” as Rouge left, before falling back into bed and passing out for another hour.

He jolted awake to the sound of the door slamming open and a voice calling, “I brought breakfast!”

The smell of baked goods quickly filled the air, pulling Shadow out of bed. He snatched a glazed donut out of the box she’d set on the table, muttering a quick “Thanks, Rouge,” before he ate it in two bites. He wasn’t a heathen who spoke with food in his mouth, after all. Unlike a certain blue hedgehog.

“So, what did you find?” he asked curiously, noticing that she had multiple bags weighing her down. 

“Well...I’m glad you asked. I got us disguises!” she replied, pulling out three cans of paint. “Omega, you’re getting a paint job.”

Omega immediately unplugged himself and shuffled rapidly to the other side of the room. “Negative. That is not an appropriate action.”

Rouge rolled her eyes. “Tails has a schematic saved for you in his lab, complete with a color palette. You’ll be alright.” She held up the cans- dark blue, white, and gold. “They’re not even that bad, see?”

“I suppose….fine. Why is this even necessary?” Omega asked, peeved.

“Well….you won’t be going into stores much- you’re too recognizable- but we should still probably disguise you so people don’t realize who you are at a distance.”

“What will you be doing?” he said sharply.

“I’m glad you asked!” she replied, pulling out a box of red fur dye. “I thought it was about time I looked a little more like you both, so….”

She produced a classic Team Dark outfit- all black and red, combat boots, and some golden punk earrings. 

“Time to be edgy, it seems.” Rouge mused.

“And….what will I do?” Shadow asked nervously.

He didn’t really want to know what was in that bag, but knew he couldn’t look like himself either.

Rouge had another box of dye on the bed now- the same shade as his fur. 

“That’s not going to be helpful…” he said flatly. 

The bat smirked. “It will be on your stripes.”

Shadow grasped one of his quills instinctively. “Don’t you dare!”

“Oh, I do dare.” Rouge replied, advancing on him.

The makeover session began. 

Rouge agreed to start with herself, since Omega was still hidden in a corner and Shadow looked absolutely horrified. She rubbed the dye all over her white fur- at least the parts that could be seen- and put on her clothing once it had set. The whole process took her about two hours, and when it was done, she looked like a completely new person. “And...some grey contacts for a final touch,” she added, putting in the contacts.

Even Shadow would’ve found it difficult to convince someone that the person in front of him was Rouge. He admitted that the disguises were useful, but that didn’t mean he had to like them.

“Alright, Shadow, you next.” she said firmly. “You’ll need some time to let your quills settle, so I’ll work on Omega then.”

They headed into the bathroom, and she put two bottles on the counter next to him. 

“...what does that other one do?”

Rouge sat down and looked at him. “I’ll tell you everything I’m going to do right now, okay? I’m dying your stripes black, and that includes the ones on your arms and legs.”

Shadow sighed reluctantly. “What else?”

“I have some brown contacts here for you, a pair of fake glasses, and some new clothes. I got you some different boots too- don’t worry, I’ll cut the soles out and put them over your skates. You still need to wear those.”

“Good.” the hybrid said shortly.

“Now for the hard part…” She held up the second bottle. “I’m sorry, Shadow, this is going to burn a little. It’s a relaxer. All it means is that your quills won’t stick up at the back anymore.”

“Forever?!” Shadow gasped, baring his teeth in an unconscious snarl.

Rouge shook her head quickly. “No! No, once we’re all done with this, you can trim your quills and they’ll slowly start to get back to normal.”

He shook his head. “Is all this really necessary?”

“Shadow, we don’t know how long it’s going to take for G.U.N. to react once we’ve got the videos. It could be weeks, even months before the process starts. We need to be safe.”

Shadow winced. “Fine.”

Once Rouge had put in the different chemicals, she had him sit down and relax while she painted Omega. It burned, though, so he mostly spent his time trying very hard not to touch his quills.

Setting up an old piece of cloth she’d bought at a secondhand store, she began to paint over Omega’s logo with dark blue. Red gave way to gold, and yellow was replaced by white. She painted a small golden theta symbol on his front strip of metal, finalizing his new name. 

Shadow got up after she’d finished and washed the products out of his quills, refusing to look in the mirror until he was done. Cringing as he shut the water off, he glanced up.

Oh, chaos.

He looked like Sonic.

His quills hung down his back, their signature red stripes completely gone. Shadow stared at his reflection weakly, shocked by the difference a couple of chemicals could make. Though he supposed he shouldn’t be- Professor Gerald had taught him a lot when he was younger, and he still remembered some of it. Thankfully.

He took the rest of his disguise into the bathroom, refusing to look at Rouge. With his new clothing on, his glasses, and some eyeliner to cover his red eye markings, he looked like a completely different person. 

Shadow hadn’t put in the contacts yet, and he looked into his own eyes sadly. It was such a silly thing to be upset about, and yet….

Rouge came in, looking worried. “It’s only for a little while, Shadow.” she reminded him. “Soon, you’ll be back to looking like yourself again. I promise.”

He put the contacts in and looked at the stranger in the mirror. Shadow grimaced. “I look like an idiot- here, let me see that hair tie.”

Pulling his straightened quills back into a ponytail, he looked at his reflection again. He narrowed his eyes. Tested out a smirk. Pulled up his hood. “It’s….a little like trying new clothes on, I suppose.” he remarked. “I can handle it, for now.” 

Shadow turned to walk out the door. “Let’s see how long Omega can stand still and watch his paint dry before he tries to launch a missile at the window.” 

Rouge laughed loudly. “Haha! I bet he’ll do two.”

…

The team decided to test out their new identities in the afternoon and see if anyone would recognize them. Omega was still going to stay in the car- sulking, since he wanted to see inside the strip mall they’d stopped at- while Rouge and Shadow shopped around a little. 

Nobody seemed to realize who they were at all. The two of them walked into a convenience store and grabbed some food, wandering through the aisles, but nobody said “Hey, look, isn’t that Rouge?” or “That looks like Shadow the Hedgehog!” or anything like that.

If anything, it was pretty interesting to see how normal, non-heroes went about their daily lives. As well as how much special treatment they’d been afforded before.

The cashiers, instead of looking interested, mostly seemed bored or tired. No one in the stores seemed to give them a second glance- except for suspicious looks at the sight of two teenagers hanging around for a long time. Rouge in particular got some looks that seemed to say don’t you dare try anything here. Shadow felt a little defensive, but was convinced (by Rouge) not to snap at the people making assumptions about them.

Rouge was lingering in the makeup aisle while Shadow stood around, making his way down from the adrenaline high of the last couple days. The hoodie he wore felt heavy on his body, and he blinked tiredly- the store’s overly powerful heating system gave him a warm, lazy feeling. Shadow stifled a yawn, smirking at some of the snarkier greeting cards on the shelves.

“We should probably go- that woman keeps glaring at me.” he muttered as Rouge came over to him, feeling a little annoyed.

“Sounds good to me, but could you help me decide on a lipstick color?” she said quietly. “I keep on thinking my fur is white still, and red won’t work on red.”

Shadow frowned critically, looking her outfit up and down. Tapping the golden shimmery one, he said, “You’re not wearing a lot of that. It’ll work with your color scheme.”

He’d discovered color coordination and planning outfits early on with Rouge as a friend. Shadow had never needed to worry about such things on the ARK, but here he knew more than he’d ever expected to learn about the color wheel, matching clothing, and accents...among other things.

They looked in a couple of the other stores, mainly clothing shops, but Rouge let Shadow spend a while in a little bookstore as well. He looked at one book in particular: one on a human who’d leaked an incredible amount of inside information to the press about the government and some of its agencies. 

He frowned, reading about how the man had to flee the country as a result of his actions- even though he’d done the right thing. The hybrid didn’t like the idea of having to live the rest of his life in hiding…..but he supposed it was better than the alternative…...

Rouge took the book out of his hands suddenly, prompting a quick growl from him. “I was reading that, you know.”

“No, you weren’t. You were staring off into space and looking depressed again.” the bat retorted. “And as your friend, I refuse to let that happen.”

Shadow sighed. “Fine. Is there any place else to go, or are we heading back to the motel?”

“Well….I did have one more place in mind, but it’s a ways away.” Rouge said. “You up for a drive?”

…

An hour and a half later, they were at a library in a moderately sized city. Rouge and Shadow had gone inside, and together they sat down at a computer. 

“Let’s check the news….” Shadow said, his voice monotone. He typed in team dark gun and bit his lip, the only motion betraying his thoughts.

G.U.N. Declares Team Dark Fugitives

Shadow the Hedgehog: Antihero or Anti-government?

Former Heroes Flee As G.U.N. Accuse Sabotage

Rouge bared her fangs. “While the publicity should be helpful later, it looks like our former employer doesn’t exactly value honesty.” she hissed. “Ignore these reporters. They know nothing.”

Shadow felt a little nervous- his friend looked positively deadly. “Let’s see what’s going on in Chatter.” he replied.

Most people were condemning the team or denying any ties to them- which was to be expected. However, there was one particularly high-profile post made by….of course. 

@sanicthehedgehog.

just saying i don’t believe any of this. team dark are good people!! they’d never do smth like this without a reason. i know that!

It appeared that Tails and Knuckles had publicly defended Sonic as well, but mainly after the haters started pouring in. Shadow wasn’t sure whether this was a tactic or not, but he felt so much better knowing that he, Rouge and Omega weren’t alone. 

Shadow tapped his earpiece. “Omega, we’re on Chatter and I know you haven’t had a chance to say anything much yet. Do you want to dictate a post and I’ll write it? I won’t change anything, I promise.”

He told Omega about the current news situation, and the robot had some very strong words for the public, specifically on a subthread of Sonic’s post where Tails had replied to some angry statements.

@milestailsprower: I agree with Sonic! I’m good friends with all of them, and they would’ve thought something like this through before doing it. 

Omega wanted to respond to his friend on Team Sonic, so Shadow logged in as him and typed what he heard.

@e123Ω: THANK YOU, TAILS. YOU ARE CORRECT. WE HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH, AND HAVE GOOD REASONS FOR DOING IT. EXPECT MORE INFORMATION IN A FEW DAYS.

Shadow hit post- interestingly enough, he hadn’t even been able to type in anything other than all caps. It seemed that having a genius as your close friend had some interesting benefits.

Immediately, the two fled the library and rushed back to their motel, not waiting to see what the response was. It was only once they were safely inside their room, with the door locked, that Shadow began to relax.

“Alright, now that we’ve had that little adventure, let’s just try and have a calm evening.” Rouge said, after a moment.

The group played lots of board games- Omega had an excellent holographic projector built in from Tails’s experiments- and tried their best to remain relaxed and have some….not necessarily fun, but decent time before their next major move.

This (occasionally agonizing) wait continued for the next two days, and they only ventured into a different library once after that, just to see the response to Omega’s post.

Chatter had exploded.

There were theory threads stretching for hundreds of posts, angry responses on both sides, agitators, a formal G.U.N. rejection of the post, and much more.

But the only one that mattered was Tails’s response. 

I’m glad you’re okay, Omega. I miss working in the lab with you.

Omega was very quiet after that, but pleased that none of Team Sonic had let on that they knew the real reason behind their disappearance. After another painful afternoon of waiting, they all looked at each other and knew without saying anything what it meant.

It was time to invade G.U.N.’s facility.

HERE WE…GOOO!!!!🦔💨

Sorry for not posting this sooner, I had some problems with scanning and lighting but I’m glad that is finally done. Here are some doodles of Sonic/Zootopia crossover from my 2 favourite movies. Those two movies are complimenting each other. Remember when I told you how Tom👦 and Maddie👩🏾 (these are names of those characters from Sonic movie) remind me a lot of Nick🦊 and Judy🐰? Well, after I watched the movie (10 times in cinema, 15 times at home after pandemy, don’t judge me!), it turns out that they have lot in common indeed that I thought. Those are my favourite moments from movie with Nick and Judy as Tom and Maddie and so does other characters from Zootopia (I really enjoy also that scene akward conversation about shooting Sonic with tranq-gun, that is hilarious for me). Wish I could include more but unfortunately after I drew I realized that my paper is not big enough, dang it! Thankfully I was able for example including at least 3 important moments like Sonic looking at happy couple behind window wishing been part of company, because of fear of him all alone forever, which it saddening him (😢 „sniff“ can someone please give that kid a hug?!😭), Ozzy licking Sonic’s face (awwwwww :3) and of course “THE FINAL BATTLE WITH ROBOTNIK” (at least the confrontation). The only thing I didn’t include was Longclaw and echidna tribe, since they had small screen and I small space (dang it!). Which is bummer because I really like Longclaw, she is really interesting character and wish we could see more. There were only two scenes of her, the one from begging of the movie and the deleted where she end up in earth with Sonic for some time but died from s-sicknes-ss “sniff”😢 (I’m sorry for that but this moment always makes cry every-time I watching it😭, it’s just really personal for me for certain reasons.). I guess you questioning the Ozzy licking Sonic’s face scene considering there are no domestic animal, including dogs and Zootopia is world of anthromorphic mammals, so I thought I would use Yoshi as Ozzy as a cameo from Mario (you know because of friendly rivalry between Sonic and Mario) and also as a gift for Yoshifan, especially after seen many pictures of Nick and Yoshi who’s calling him “Mama Nick” and I found it pretty funny. After I started drawing I realized there are some obstacles that would be problem like (aside from Ozzy) raccoons, bear-head from Piston Pit, chilli-dogs (considering what meat they put on these things if, IF it is a meat), the Sonic’s shoes (the old and new ones) and of course Robotnik himself considering I don’t want to change him into some mammal. Like I said before Robotnik works better as human and he doesn’t need to change to an animal considering he put animals from Sonic’s world, anthromorphic and normal, always in danger or abuse (like making them into badniks, or robotized them). So, how are gonna fix it you ask? Well I have some idea. Like I said before for Ozzy I choose Yoshi for that role (and honestly I don’t have any other options, heheh. BUT you must admit that it is adorable 🥰), raccoons were a challenge so I came multiple ideas for example:

Instead of raccoons we use gerbil jerks from Zistopia concept art

Raccoons will be anthromorphic teens who like mess with Nick while eating from trashcans (like Mr. Big said, evolved but deep down still animals)

Since mammals are sentient how about use non-mammal “trash pandas”(lol, I like that nickname) like birds as ravens, crows or pigeons (pigeons are also known as “flying rats” – thank you Spies in Disguise)

Those are mine options, if you have other in mind I’m listening.

Then there’s taxidermy bear-head. Considering that pouching would classified as not just illegal but also as psycho (still not get over that taxidermy Moose-head from Sly 2. Yeah I know that was part of mission to blend in to not rise a suspicion but seriously, WHY those Moose have that head, did they just-…you know what let’s not think about it😖) I came up with idea instead of taxidermy bear-head how about some mask of unusual mascot like the manticore from Onward, eh eehh? (Or it can some dino but I rather prefer manticore). As for those motorbike gang at first I want to suggest those Ranger Scouts. That would be delightful punishing them that way (evil chuckle😈). But then I remembered the trash gang from Zootopia comic “A hard day’s work” and to be honest those characters are ideal for those roles: wildebeest could the black cowboy, elephant as the belly guy (oh come on, like you didn’t think same nickname after seen Sonic sprung out of his belly) and hyena with green Mohawk as of course the Bear-head jerk. But if you want combine them be my guest.😁

As for chilli-dogs since are Sonic’s favourite we cannot left them behind. Thankfully I was watching on YouTube where there mentioned Tails been vegetarian and one comment that said “Chilli-dog: Am I joke to you?” that made conversation about mobians been vegetarians. So in that case since Zootopia is filled birds (and sometimes bugs), and synthetic meat, proteins, probably tofu, we can assume that there are Chilli-dogs made especially in Zootopia universe (and honestly we do not really know, what exactly hot-dogs are truly made of).🌭

👟The shoes were honestly a very hard obstacle for me considering mammals don’t wear shoes since they are still animals, like our directors said, BUT that doesn’t mean they don’t exist in Zootopia.

Evidence 1: Gazelle – she’s wearing high heels from Preyda

Evidence 2: Poster of (parody) movie Cinderellephant, with elephant-size glass slipper

Evidence 3: Judy Hopps – she wears half-sockets in her police uniform (that still does count as a foot-wear)

So I came with headcanon that only celebrities and patients with sensitive feet wear shoes as a luxury or medical protection (I mean we have a lot of animals that can’t live on different area with their conditions, come on have someone of you seen a polar bear live in Sahara Square?) and in this case it’s the latter (plus there is in this story a human character that needs his own footwear) since Sonic is wearing his running shoes considering that his speed is high enough to burn his feet (ouch🤕).

And finally with Robotnik, we use that orphan idea and certain headcanon from Sonic X about planets that once were one until they divided and made their own time and space alterations, prof. Gerald Robotnik (Eggman’s grand-father) could study Mobius for finding cure for Maria, creating Shadow, G.U.N. etc. It could be three worlds (Sonic’s world/Mobius, Robotnik’s world/our world, and Zootopian’s world) or just two (Mobius and Zootopia), what works better.

As you can see there are some characters I included in in certain scene (aside from Yoshi), I present to you Judy’s niece named Cotton and one of Judy’s (many) sisters Violet Hopps. No, those are not an OC from any fandom, those are official characters from Zootopia universe. You already actually know Cotton but for those who don’t know who is Violet, she was introduced in Zootopia Graphic Novel in comic named “Brothers & Sisters” and considering how she is very overprotective of Judy (like any other Hopps) I thought she would fit perfectly for Rachel role (I don’t think she’s Cotton’s mother so don’t ask), and also she’s the only official Hopps sibling with name we know. I wanted also include another characters into this doodles but I like I said before I didn’t have enough space on one paper. So here are my character ideas: Clawhauser as Wade, Bogo as Major Bennington, Mayor Lionheart as Commander Walters (no surprise). For others like Crazy Carl and Agent Stone I had some problems.

For Crazy Carl I first thought about who would fit perfectly and I came up with a lot of ideas: first I thought about Duke Weaselton, since he has face for that crazyness but then I declined since he doesn’t fit on the character, then I thought about Pop-Pop Hopps but that was questionable considering in movie he had a huge aversion of foxes (red as devil) and comic he’s not biased but then I thought who could describe Crazy Carl better than well-known concept crazy theorist Honey Badger am I right?

As for agent Stone I had no idea what to do with him. I could let him stay as but that would make questions of humans and I didn’t want to put Bellwether into this position. If she was unhappy of been unappreciated and humiliated by predators then I don’t think she would really want to work with someone who is full of himself more than her and only see humanity as an excuse of stupidity and “herd of useless sheep (get it?)” and only relay on machines. And characters from Zootopia Crimes was not an option and Jack Savage was out of question no in my point. Not saying that Jack Savage could be a great option but I don’t think fans would appreciate another bad guy role for Jack and I already have something different for him in my mind. Then it came another that would fit for Stone and that is a certain platypus Dr. Starline from Sonic The Hedgehog IDW comics. He admires Eggman and his evil genius (questionable) and in comics he’s working as partner/assistant for him. But since he is mobian as Sonic we could use idea that government knows about it (partially) but does not tell and he thinks that he is an unusual zootopian platypus (after all he does wear clothes and looks “more” normal unlike Sonic) and we could do the same with Robotnik considering his past about grand-father and project Shadow if Jeff Fowler would follow some headcanons (I wouldn’t surprised if some government keeping some secrets even from employers). But then again we could use also Tony, a bunny from Zootopia Crime Files since he is shady and bland at once and already wear a suit, like agent Stone (great, now I don’t know which one to choose again).

You know what, I’ll give you an option who would fit for role of Agent Stone:

1. Dr. Starline, a platypus from Sonic The Hedgehog IDW comics

2. Tony, a bunny from Zootopia Crime Files

3. Jack Savage, a jackrabbit from Zootopia concept art/Savage Seas (you don’t have to take that third one too seriously, but just in case)

DONE (pass out from exhaustion). Haahhh so much work, editing fixing hands, oohh boyyy. You have no idea how hard this was for me to finally made it. I wish I could do more. But for now I’m so glad that I was able to draw at least some of my favourite moments because I feel they’re important for storytelling: first the introduction of main characters, their struggles, interactions and how they greatly compliment to each other (both Sonic and Zootopia). I mean you can’t just see Judy call Nick and Sonic cute and not imagine that, or there was also moment where Sonic dry like dog so his fur and quills(?) go puffy and Nick would look mesmerized by fluffiness. Come to think of it Sonic has lot in common with Nick and Judy that he would actually fit for the role as their son. You’re not believe? Well here are some examples.

Similarities between Sonic and-

-Judy🐰:

1. heroes in blue (get it?)🌀

2. pretty fast (Sonic more faster than Judy but still…)

3. impatient😤

4. first act then think (always put themselves into danger)

5. thing for get into trouble

6. sense for justice

7. never give up

8. preys but not rodents (that’s right hedgehogs are not rodents)

9. became a friend with fox (their natural predator, that was bullied in past, huh strange, just as strange as hedgehog be taken care of by owl that is also his natural predator)

-Nick🦊:

1. sly smile😏

2. mischievous trickster

3. green eyes

4. omnivores (hedgehogs eat melons, watermelons(what’s the difference?), berries (blueberries headcanon!) and insects, snails, frogs snakes🤢- uhhh I think chilli-dogs works better thank you)

5. cringy sense of humor😒

6. thing for nicknames (by Nick: Carrots, Buffalo Butt, Yakity yak, Flash Hundred Yard Dash, by Sonic: Donut Lord, Pretzel Lady, Eggman, Knucklehead, Super Observant Carl)

7. loyalty (they never left their friends behind)

8. never let them see they get to you (despite suffering a lot of emotional damage, thanks a lot SEGA)

9. smooth talker with heart of gold

-both🐰 🦊:

1. traumatic past

2. sacrifices for others

3. fight for what is right

See they had a lot in common. Anyway I am still glad I was finally able to finish this. It wasn’t easy but it was worth it.

But I guess, that I made it hard for you with those moments so how about this we use the final moments like in your fanfic Carcass Bride: FINAL BOSS BATTLE SONIC VS. ROBOTNIK because honestly this moment is epic (wish I could make it bigger), it would start Sonic running from Robotnik, like we’ve seen in beginning of the movie, get shot retelling in short whole story, like in movie only less detailed and faster the confrontation between Nick and Robotnik (Sonic would unconscious but still hear them and had a self-doubt like Naruto in first chapter/episode if you what mean until he hear the important words that’ll give him boost), the final battle and then epilogue (Sonic with his new family) with open ending (you know the Eggman in Mushroom planet and then Tails’s introuction). As for what kind of universe all of them would be I have another suggestions:

1. Sonic movie universe in Zootopia (but still happening in Green Hills only Zootopia would be San Francisco and Transamerica could be Palm Hotel like in Zistopia storyboard) and Night Howler Case never happened.

2. Night Howler case happened Nick and Judy are still cops, but later decided to live in Green Hills

3. Night Howler case happened but was solved instead of Judy and Nick by Jack and Skye who later became agents and don’t like Robotnik for his ego:

a) Nick come from Green Hills (Wachowskis live as police in GH for 50 years), but suffered from Ranger Scouts move to Zootopia became “shifty fox” until he’s saved by childhood friend Judy from Bunnyburrow (from wrong decision and targeting to become savage) and the return to Green Hills become sheriff along with his new wife.

b) Both Nick and Judy just heard about it in Green Hills.

I guess the first and third are more interesting.

Okaayy now I realized that this became more ambitious that I planned but I guess that happens when you try balancing two franchises so it can make sense (enough for headcanons). But I’m not saying that I’m proud of myself. So I’ll leave you the rest (the options and writing) so I can’t wait for one-shot fanfic good luck. And also (even though it’s late but still better than never) Happy birthday Sonic, this is for you! GOTTA GO FAST!🐰🦊🦔💨

a list of favourite encounters with people I’m unlikely to ever meet again

just a list of interesting people I’ve met/been friends with :) I was thinking of a few of them today and thought it probably would be interesting to write them down.

I had a friend in our children’s choir called Elise(?) who had silky blonde hair, very cool glasses (can’t remember the shape or colour but I remember thinking they were cool), and who smelled very distinctly like grape juice. We smiled at each other during rehearsal once (we were both new!), sidled up to each other, and she asked me if I wanted a Starburst. I said yes please. Instant friends. Never saw her again :(

brisk, stressed-looking lady at our favourite noodle shop; ALWAYS looked stressed so my dad always made a point of telling her that the food was very good

one of my church’s youth leaders (who moved away a long time ago). He was one of the few people who took me seriously in middle school, and actually talked to me about books. He had the cutest little girl with the curliest brown hair, and would often raise his eyebrows wryly when people commented on his bald head. I remember asking him about The Girl Who Could Fly and whether or not The Golden Compass was worth reading, and he answered my questions very seriously.

another one of my former youth leaders, this twenty-something German student called Linnea. I thought she was one of the prettiest people I’d seen. She was very friendly, very outspoken, and talked to me about choosing to follow Jesus one youth night. I really liked her, and I also really liked that she told us we could talk to her about anything. She left before I had the bravery to open my mouth, though.

I had a childhood friend called Lucy and we shared a secret hideout. It was very exciting. Once she came over to give me this gigantic rock that had a plant growing in a little hole. She moved away before I could say goodbye, and before I moved out of that neighbourhood, I used to drop by our secret hideout to make sure it was still there.

speaking of childhood friends: one was called Lisa. She had gorgeous black hair (very long) and always came to church in the prettiest dresses. She was very good at art and once showed us tiny flowers she’d sculpted out of clay. She could speak fluent Chinese (she was part of the Chinese service) and I really liked her. Unfortunately when I last visited my hometown, she didn’t remember me at all. It was a very awkward conversation.

my third grade teacher was the BEST. She was a comfortable looking woman with black hair and blue eyes, and reminded me of both Marilla and Mrs. Lynde. We had mandatory knitting hour every day and went for runs in the forest every week. She had a little wooden book cabinet with glass doors, and I would borrow books from them every once in a while. She chose Because of Winn-Dixie and The Tale of Despereaux for our novel study unit, and read both of them out loud to us. (She read the whole of Winn-Dixie in a very convincing Southern accent.) Every single one of us had our own set of knitting needles, ball of yarn, and knitting bag (she and another elementary school teacher made knitting bags with drawstrings for each and every one of us). She was the only teacher I had in that school who could calm down the restless kids, and who showed the ADHD/ADD kids compassion. When she gave you That Look you knew you had to settle down and behave. I went to visit her many years ago and found out that she’d gone in for chemotherapy - I heard later on that she’d fully recovered. I hope she’s doing well.

my fourth grade teacher (part 1). I can’t remember his name, but I remember he was VERY tall, Caucasian, and wore a sweater and a name tag on his first day. The first thing he did with us was sit down on a desk and ask us our name and something interesting about ourselves. I told him that I really liked books. He asked me which ones. I said Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Narnia. He asked me about my opinion on other Roald Dahl books. He listened to ALL of us very intently, and we warmed up to him very quickly. At the end of our introductions he went around and repeated all our names and our interesting facts. I had never felt so understood before.

my fourth grade teacher (part 2). The first one switched schools after one or two weeks, and we had Miss Payson come in. She was also comfortable-looking, with short brown hair and purple glasses. She had a purple knitted hedgehog, and spoke very kindly to all of us. We had a mandatory creative writing session every week, where we would go to the computer lab and type for around an hour. I asked her permission once to write a story about her hedgehog, and she said yes. (I was VERY happy for the rest of the day.)

my fifth grade teacher (part 1). The first was an Italian lady with black hair to her shoulders and a matter-of-fact approach. The restless kids who liked to talk back got her riled up on several occasions, but most of the time she was very calm and practical. She taught us to write comparison essays (I did one on wild vs. farmed salmon and it was a horrible essay.) She told us she was going to get married in the summer. Are you going to invite us? asked one of the boys. No, she said, and laughed. Once, a boy in my class took Jesus’s name in vain (she told us right off the bat that she was Catholic) and a steely look entered in her eye. She told him very quietly that she didn’t want to hear any such language in class, and he apologised to her immediately, rather chastened. I did some creative writing with her, and she was the first teacher to tell me that she looked forward to seeing my name on a bookstore shelf one day. I will never forget that.

my fifth grade teacher (part 2). The second was a lady from Ghana who had two children she loved telling us about, and had a very bubbly and passionate personality. She read to us in class, was VERY good at math, and often directed a certain look at us I now call an ironic glance. 

this wisp of a girl with long brown hair and a slight nervous look called Valentina. She always looked nervous and a little unhappy, and I never got the chance to ask her why.

a friend from middle school with short red hair (very wild! very beautiful!) and freckles. We were both into The Hobbit when it came out, and collaborated on a novel for NaNoWriMo in 2013(?). It was a bit messy and we never really finished it, but I remember how insistent she was that we help the main character realise that the world was still a beautiful place. (I loved her for that.)

my old band teacher in elementary school, back when I could actually play clarinet. He was British, wore the same black earrings every class, was very tall, very thin, and very kind. He never once yelled at us for playing badly, or for getting distracted. Band was so much fun with him. I can’t tell you how many times we practiced King Arthur’s March, but I can tell you that it was a LOT.

someone I saw when I got off the train one day. I was on the way home, the train doors opened, and I saw the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen. I don’t remember his face at all (I don’t recall any other features of his) but I do remember that it was late afternoon, and the sun struck his brown eyes. I could see the gold in them. It was an enchanting experience.

a whole GROUP of people I dearly wanted to be friends with: this boy who I thought must be some sort of fairy: rectangular wire glasses, very floppy dirty blond hair, angelic smile, insisted on wearing a pageboy cap and clunky boots, played violin like it was as natural to him as breathing. He was a very friendly person. His sister, who also had short hair and glasses - the kind of person whose enthusiasm is contagious. (When she talks to you, you can’t help but smile.) Also another of his possible relatives (I don’t know... they were both blonde, tall, and had similar hair): this slender, elf-like girl with a pixie cut who had black combat boots, and an endless supply of flannel shirts and dangly earrings. She was into Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who (I was always at the edge of my seat, wishing I could chime in with an “I love them too!” but I was never quite brave enough). Another girl was always dressed in black (with matching purple lipstick and ALSO black combat boots), and talked about the books she liked and didn’t like (Brave New World wasn’t worth reading, she said one day). A younger girl with bouncy blonde hair and these GORGEOUS blue-green eyes. I didn’t know that people’s eyes could actually sparkle until I saw her. She was the life of the party, and was incredibly charming because she didn’t seem to be aware at all how charming she was. OH and a girl who looked like she’d walked right out of the 1940s: red lipstick, curly ginger hair, beauty mark, with an incredible singing voice. She was in love with La La Land and Phantom of the Opera (very valid) and was the darling of the group (you could definitely tell why: she was well-spoken, bright-eyed, generous). And a very tall, very quiet boy with dark curly hair who was very talented at any kind of art. Very fluent in French (French was part of the vernacular in this friend group... they sometimes slipped in and out of it and I would just sit and smile, somewhat confused). Also very kind. I remember he once asked to look at my sketchbook (I was vibrating with nervousness the whole time. You know when you’re in middle school, and want validation SO much? Or maybe that was just my social anxiety) and when he finally handed it back, he said something nice and smiled. I instantly felt more at ease. He was also a friendly person, the kind of person you could sit with for a long time in silent companionship. Also very, very kind - and more of an action person than a talking person.

#it occurred to me that I've met a LOT of very interesting people #i miss them all in a way #it's strange how our lives brush with other people's lives #i hope they're all doing well..... i hope that they're happy

Sonic the Hedgehog is full of thrills, friendship, and lots of high-speed action, but as it dashes through its rapid-fire plot, it does stumble on occasion. Do the highs outweigh the lows? Hold on tight as we run through the five best and five worst things about Sonic the Hedgehog.

Despite not having any kids of his own, Tom can't help but radiate some major dad vibes, thanks not in small part to some truly cringeworthy puns. At one point, when Sonic laments that he has to leave Earth to go live on a planet made up entirely of giant mushrooms, Tom quips, "at least you won't be the only fun guy!" Between his bad jokes, his tendency to play out full conversations with his donuts, and his fatherly protectiveness of Sonic, Tom really is the best friend an alien hedgehog could wish for, and he brings a refreshing, nurturing energy to the film. Watch the video to see the 5 best and 5 worst things in Sonic the Hedgehog!

#Sonic #SonicTheHedgehog

Read full article: https://www.looper.com/188762/best-wo...

I have been meaning to post something to express my thought on the Sonic movie and when I saw this video I thought this would be useful for explaining what worked and didn’t work in my opinion.

Best: Tom's dad vibe | 0:15

Every movie needs heart.  No complaints here.

Worst: Maddie's weirdly hostile sister | 1:18

I agree with the video commentary that this is strange.  If you are going to introduce a subplot gives us a reason why the sister has valid concerns, explain this to us, give us a reason to care or be afraid that the relationship is in jeopardy and therefore Sonic getting a happily ever after is in danger.

Best: Sonic's Quicksilver moments | 2:21

The video lists this as a positive, but I actually see it as a negative.  I feel like this makes Sonic too over powered.  And if one character is all powerful and cannot be stopped or countered all the stakes go out the the window.  The conflict is no longer compelling because we know unquestionably who is going to prevail.  I mean we all know Sonic is going to win in the end, but there has to be a believable chance that he could lose and Robotnik could prevail.

Worst: Hipster discrimination | 3:10

This also does seem strange...the bar fight in general seems arbitrary, but I don’t feel like it’s that big of a deal.  Maybe they went with this because saying anything else like “liberal“ “city slicker“ or remarking on Sonic’s appearance would go too far and offend someone.  “These people are racists / xenophobic, etc.“

Best: Sonic's new shoes | 4:16

Ok, watching this video I am wondering if there is a continuity error, because it looks like in some of the earlier parts of the movie he has his signature red and white shoes?  Or are the clips featured in the video earlier promo material and not from the finished cut of the movie?

Worst: Disproportionate conflict | 5:20

In general, Robotnik’s methods are over kill and run the risk of drawing too much attention from the civilian population.

You don’t need all this high tech gadgetry.  A tranquilizer dart was enough to render Sonic unconscious and defenseless.  Of course part of the problem is catching him or slowing him down enough to get a good shot.

On the other hand this is the kind of person Robotnik is--machines can fix everything.

I think something that could have partially fixed this is clarifying Robotnik’s motivation by putting it in conflict with the US government.  Robotnik captures Sonic and wants to study him because of realizing the implications of Sonic’s power as applied to his machines.  The US government wants Sonic dead or wants Sonic moved to a secure scientific research facility beyond Robotnik’s reach.

Robotnik disagrees with the government.  The government snaps back that they own him, they tell him what to do, or something similar.  At this point Robotnik could rebel against the government or he could just be shown planning or thinking about it.

Meanwhile Sonic’s friends manage to stage a rescue while Robotnik is distracted...and the chase continues. 

Best: Jim Carrey | 6:31

I was grade school aged when The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura were playing in theaters.  And I remember his role in Liar Liar. 

Seeing Jim Carrey again on the big screen again is like seeing a friend in a very long time.

He’s charming and a joy to watch....but at other times there are aspects of his performance that are cringe inducing.

Worst: Also Jim Carrey | 7:48

I’m not sure if it’s Jim Carrey’s lines of dialogue that are off...

If the over the top exaggeration and physicality of his acting doesn’t entirely fit with the character and story...but something about his performance doesn’t work for me at times.

I think an example of this is when Robotnik is menacing Tom in his home and threatening him.  Sonic appears in the room to save Tom and Jim Carrey as Robotnik screams in shock.  A certain amount of shock is understandable, but the intensity of his reaction seems unwarranted.

The reference to breastfeeding and Robotnik being an orphan is also weird.

Maybe part of the problem is that in isolation Jim Carrey’s lines are funny because of how random and over the top they are, but beyond that there’s not much too it.  The lines are not particularly clever and don’t give us character development, world building, or flush out the relationship between Robotnik and Stone for example.

Best: Finding family | 8:56

I am fond of movies with a found / chosen family theme, so no complaints here.

Worst: Nonsensical ending | 9:59  

Arguably, the movie leaves a number of loose ends unaddressed.

The government is unconcerned that Robotnik is missing in action?

What about all the people who saw the fight between Robotnik and Sonic?  How is the government going to explain this away?  A campaign of memory erasure like the Men In Black?

I don’t remember the exact details of what the government agents said to Tom.  If they just waved away the whole labeling him a terrorist thing like it’s nothing. 

Other Honorable Mentions:

- Worst: Product placement.

- Worst: Why did Robotnik shave his head?  From a character standpoint why did Robotnik feel compelled to shave his head when he is trapped in the mushroom world?  This does bring him closer in line with how we are used to seeing him, but I feel like we need more explanation than Robotnik is losing his sanity.  Maybe we will get some sort of answer when and if there is a sequel?

- Worst: I know this movie is geared toward kids as well as the adults that grew up with Sonic...but I feel like the movie went to unnecessary lengths to emphasize how Robotnik is the evil villain of the story.

Robotnik having a private moment when he’s dancing to Evil Grows is one of the top highlights of the movie.  And parts of the song reminds me of music from the Sonic games.  At the same time I feel like this was too on the nose having the evil doer of the story dancing around to a song called Evil Grows.

- Worst:  Tom the terrorist.  Was it really the best strategy putting Tom’s face on the TV and branding him a terrorist?  Doesn’t the government want to keep this under the radar and be as discreet as possible?

A Pair of Handcuffs

Villian Deku X Hero Shouto

This is my first Tododeku fic... I think..?? Nonetheless, ENJOY!!

Warnings: Cussing, suggestive language

---------------------------------

Midoriya raced through the streets with his newly acquired handcuffs. He rushed pass children, students, and adults, scarcely registering them due to the adrenaline pumping through his veins.

At first glance, this could have been due to police officers on his tail. Or the fact that he was running like a certain blue hedgehog- but greener. But, it was entirely because of his pure excitement.

Midoirya took a sharp left into an alley and wall jumped up onto the roof. As he landed, Midoriya brushed off the excess dust. He then tucked then tucked the handcuffs away into his pocket.

"Tch. Stealing is unlike you, Midoriya."

The green-haired boy quickly looked up, his expression pulled into a sneer. But, it was immediately replaced with a maniacal grin, as Midoriya recognized the hero.

"Good evening, Shouto!" He slurred. "Didn't noticed you there! Did you like my little suprise this morning?"

Todoroki frowne, confused. He remembered waking up this morning, cold. The person who was supposed to be by his side, had left hours earlier, only leaving a small note behind. Unfortunately, Todoroki deemed the note unnecessary and threw it away without having a chance to read it.

"Little surprise?"

Midoriya leaped to the edge of the building and began to walk slowly, his hands outstretch to keep him balanced.

"Yeah! I left a yellow note on the kitchen counter this morning, right next to your coffee!" Midoriya said, enthusiastically. "Did you not read it?"

Todoroki's breath hitched and immediately turned his gaze elsewhere.

Ohhhhhh shiiiiit. That note was important???

The hero could feel Midoriya's piercing eyes scrutinize him. Observing Todoroki for any signs of weakness or reason as to why the hero decided to avoid his gaze.

He coughed. "None the less, that is no reason to steal items." Todoroki crossed his arms, smug that he was able to direct the conversation away from his mistake.

Midoriya stopped midway through his steps and turned around, facing the hero. The green haired individual placed a finger on his chin and tapped it several times.

"I believe that I only stole an item, Shouto."

"Tch. Even stealing one of anything, is considered theft, Deku."

Midoriya frowned at the nickname. It reminded him of the past that tore his life into pieces. The one where the ex-hero had lost absolutely everything.

"I thought I told you not to call me that."

Todoroki opened his mouth to reply, but was immediately cut off by the sound of a helicopter flying above.

"Villian! Return the stolen item and turn yourself in! Or we will be forced to use our military against you!"

Even small mistakes, such as stealing, were used against famous and deadly villians. They were simple triggers that everyone hastily pulled in an attempt to capture them.

Midoriya sighed at the lost of his wonderful adrenaline. He boredly looked around at the surrounding hero's, the police, civilians, and the military. It was all so extra.

"Well, I suppose we should continue this conversation another day..." Midoriya trailed off.

Todoroki looked at the green-haired villain in confusion, but was immediately replaced with horror.

Midoriya faced crowd and tilted his head back, directing his eyes towards Todoroki's. "These," he held up the handcuffs, "Are for tonight. I'll be waiting for your return, Shouto~" Blowing a kiss, Midoriya jumped.

Todoroki stood in terror, his mouth hung open and eyes wide. The hero rushed towards the green-haired boy and before he could grab him, the boy had dissapeared into a black hole.

Todoroki cursed. He was soooooo dead tonight.

- Time Skip -

Midoriya lit the last candle and turned around, gazing proudly at the scene. He had decorated the large appartment with rose petals and romantically lit candles. The dinner table had several cuisines on it, ranging from a simple appetizer to a meal that fed gods.

Of course, Midoriya planned for the dessert to be a special course, featured in the bedroom.

The green-haired individual sighed gently and walked out towards the balcony, grabbing a half-white-half-red rose along the way. He leaned against the railing, basking in the heat from the setting sun.

Midoriya tucked the rose into the pocket of his black vest, which he wore over a white button up shirt.

Tonight, the former hero wasn't going to let his prey out of his sight. Instead, he was going to savor the hunt and fully force the prey into submission.

The front door creaked open and Midoriya turned around, a blood-chilling grin on his face. His dear Shouto was going to need a butt cushion after this.

Summary: Licht is angry when Hyde leaves the hotel without waking him. (LawLicht, Chapter 106)

“I’ll be back soon, Lichtan. Don’t sleepwalk into trouble while I’m gone.” Hyde whispered to a sleeping Licht as he carried him to the bed. As he watched him sleep, Hyde couldn’t help but be reminded that he was human. He was the strongest person he knew but there were moments he was vulnerable. He wanted to stay with him so he could protect him but his brother also needed him. “Can you watch over Licht while I’m gone, Gil? Knowing him, he’ll be angry when he wakes up without his new angel pet in his arms. He might try to go out and search for him.”

His voice sounded far away to Licht due to the haze of sleep clouding his mind and he couldn’t make out his words. However, he was distinctly aware of Hyde’s warmth around him and he turned his face into his chest. He laid him on the bed and he pulled the blanket over him. Licht expected to feel Hyde lay in the spot next to him. Instead, Hyde took his hand back and the sound of the door closing followed.

Licht opened his eyes and he sat up. He searched the dark room for Hyde but he found himself alone. The most logical explanation was that Hyde and Gil merely went to the lobby to talk. They were vampires and they didn’t need to sleep like he did. Yet, he instinctively knew that Hyde had left the hotel. He couldn’t say whether the strange feeling was caused by their contract or something else.

He walked to the window and he peered into the darkness. His eyes narrowed when he saw Hyde leap from rooftop to rooftop. He stood out against the starry sky with his blond hair and his scarf billowed behind him like black wings. He almost appeared to be flying. Licht knew that he was jumping rather than flying because Hyde needed to drink his blood to be able to fly properly.

“Someone’s going to see you, Stupid Hedgehog. You’re going to cause a panic if they realize you’re a demon.” He muttered the curse to Hyde even though he couldn’t hear him miles away. Licht picked up his sweater to change and follow him. “I can’t believe that hedgehog. He spent an hour telling me I can’t leave the hotel but he sneaks out the moment I fall asleep. Those demon children—”

Licht realized the reason Hyde travelled through the city using the rooftops despite the risk of a human seeing him. He dashed out of the hotel room and he crashed into Guildenstern in the hallway. With a hand on the wall, he quickly regained his balance. He tried to walk past him and he was confused when he took his arm to stop him. “The Shit Rat left the hotel and I’m going after him.”

“He told me to keep you from leaving the hotel.” Gil no longer wore his large whale costume and he couldn’t block the hallway as effectively as before. He placed his hands on Licht’s shoulder and he hoped he wouldn’t try to fight him. He knew he wouldn’t simply return to his room from the glare he wore. Licht slapped aside his hand and he walked around him.

Gil had to question why the Eves Hyde fell in love with were the stubbornly independent type. He had been his subclass for centuries and he saw the effect Licht had on him. He could only imagine how Hyde would react if anything happened to him while he was searching for his brother. Gil didn’t want to see his Servamp lose someone important to him again.

“Hyde plans to stay within your distance limit but that requires you to stay in the hotel.” He walked next to him and he thought of what he could tell Licht to make him understand how dangerous it was to leave. Gil thought of Hyde’s words before he left. “Did you hear Hyde say he is going to search for Cappuccino and Illdio? You want to hug cute animals like Uribo-san? Hyde will return with them soon so there’s no need for you to run into danger.”

“How do you expect that hedgehog to see anything when he’s stuck on the rooftop?” Licht threw the retort over his shoulder to him. He marched down the hall and left Gil to walk beside him. From his steel blue eyes, he knew that it would be difficult to change his mind. “He never thinks things through and I have to go rescue him from himself.”

Gil decided to purposely anger Licht to distract him from leaving. “You don’t have the right to lecture Hyde when you’re planning to leave the hotel. You’re being reckless, Licht. The city is filled with those Red Children who will take your soul. They ignore vampires but we don’t know whether Eves and sorcerers are safe from them.”

“Those demon kids are the reason I have to go after Hyde!” Licht turned on his heel to face Gil. “They already took Kranz and I won’t let them do the same to my demon. They can’t fly so he should be safe as long as he stays on the roof. But, what if he falls or—”

Licht bit his lip and his eyes fell to the ground. As much as he would fight with Hyde and be irritated by his behaviour, he couldn’t stand the thought of losing him. He slowly grew to care for him and he didn’t know when those feelings became so intense. He was angry when he learned that the Red Children took his friend but he couldn’t describe the mixture of emotions he had for Hyde at the moment.

“This isn’t me being reckless. I’m an angel and I don’t need you to bodyguard me. Hyde is the one who needs help. I’m going after him.” A part of Licht wondered if his demand was selfish. The reason Hyde left was to find his brother and it was a family issue. He was his Eve but he wondered if he would want him involved. He couldn’t ignore how concerned he was for Hyde. Licht wanted to be beside Hyde and support him.

“I know you want to help Hyde and the best thing you could do is to stay here.” Gil’s voice softened once he understood Licht’s feelings. “You’re important to him too.”

“Too?” Licht repeated and the reasons behind his emotions suddenly became clear. “I need to go, Gil.”

“To be found by someone… To have them change your life…” Hyde went through what he could say to his brother to make him see sense. He couldn’t be certain if what Ildio saw was the truth but there was a chance Niccolo made a mistake. No matter which it was, he thought it was best to make his brother speak with his Eve again so they could come to an understanding.

Licht’s face appeared in his mind. “Don’t let them go.”

Each time Hyde made a new contract, he thought it was pointless to become attached to them. Humans died and they left little impact on the world. Licht made him see that he was wrong. He knew there would never be someone as brilliant and confident as his angel. His angel had changed his world. He would often call him a demon but Hyde liked to think that he had made him a better person.

Hyde was distracted by his thoughts as he jumped towards the next rooftop. He didn’t measure the distance properly and he started to descend a short distance from the building. He cursed beneath his breath and he searched for a way to save himself. Without drinking blood, his ability to fly was weaker and he couldn’t change the direction of his fall. Behind him, he heard someone scream his name.

He turned himself in the air so he could see the person behind him. Hyde wasn’t able to see the person as they crashed into his chest. However, he didn’t need to see the person to know that it was Licht. With Licht’s momentum, it allowed them to reach the building but he couldn’t control their fall. Hyde wrapped his arms around Licht and protected him from the impact.

They hit the rooftop and he kept him safe in his arms. After a few rolls, they came to a stop with Hyde laying on his back and Licht on top of him. His body felt sore from the fall but he immediately sat up to see if Licht was hurt. He ran his fingers through his black hair and he was relieved that he couldn’t find blood or a bump. His fingers stopped over the white streaks in his bangs.

“You’re one crazy angel, Lichtan.” Licht was pressed against his body and he could feel Hyde breathe a sigh of relief. “Why are you here? I thought I told Gil to stop you from leaving the hotel. Didn’t he tell you that I would’ve come back soon?”

“My parents taught me that, if there’s something I want, I should go after it.” His answer confused Hyde. He tried to look into his eyes for a hint of his feelings but Licht wouldn’t look up at him. He followed his gaze and he saw that he was staring at the nametag he wore. Licht touched the warm metal and he looked up at him. Licht hooked his finger around the chain and he pulled him down.

At the hotel, he was afraid Hyde would be hurt while they were apart and it made him realize how important he was to him. He loved him. The entire time he searched the city for him, he thought of the moment he would tell him. He didn’t expect to feel so nervous and flustered now that Hyde was sitting in front of him. He had always been vocal with the things he wanted.

“I want to protect you so don’t leave me behind, Hyde.” He rarely used his name and it made his heart jump in excitement. Licht could feel it beneath his hand. “I—”

He was interrupted by the horn of a car and it drew Licht’s attention back to the city. His heart sank when he was reminded of the situation that they were in. As much as he wanted to confess to Hyde, they were in a war and it wasn’t the right time. Licht promised himself that he would tell Hyde how he felt once they freed the people in the lanterns and stopped Tsubaki.

“I’m not going back to the hotel so don’t bother trying to argue with me. You’ll lose.” Licht stood and he brushed the dirt from his pants. He walked to the edge of the rooftop and he looked down to see the best route to take. “Hedgehogs can track people like dogs. What way did Niccolo or Uribo-san go?”

“What did you plan to say before?” Instead of answering Licht, he asked a question of his own. He turned back to Hyde who hadn’t moved from the spot. He gave him a nervous smile and said, “If it was a confession, I would tell you ‘All my heart is yours, Sir. It belongs to you, and with you it would remain were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever’.”

“You went from quoting Shakespeare to Jane Eyre. I thought I kicked that half hearted behaviour out of you, Shit Rat. You need to say what you want clearly, in your own words.” Licht walked back to him and he took his scarf into his hands. He pulled him closer until their lips met in a light touch. “Say ‘I love you’ to me if that’s what you want.”

“I love you, Licht.”
