Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow and Rouge finished their drinks, the former then using chaos control to get them back to their room.

Crowley entered his room and went to sleep. Shadow and Rouge were still having their drinks in the shoreside bar.

"I believe it is that one," he replied, pointing to one room.

"Yes let's," said Crowley before teleporting them both back to the hotel.

"Yes that's true."

"Yes I suppose you're right Anna."

"Very well then. I'm sure Shadow will appreciate it, so long as there are no mishaps," replied Crowley to Anna.

"Perhaps. I wouldn't know unfortunately. Magic is not my fortė."

"You may have taken his colour palette but his core biology you did not. If you had you wouldn't have been knocked unconscious beforehand, among other things. As for reversing it, there's only one person who knows the ritual and they're imprisoned, for a far too short amount of time," said Crowley, muttering the last part under his breath so she didn't hear.

Just let people play how they want to.

"I have a feeling he does. It took what was unique to him and made it generic. Though I suppose he takes solace in the fact his biology is still his own: you will not have gained immortality through this ritual for example."

"Yes, though don't expect him to help you with those. There's more chance of the world spinning off its axis. And while I wouldn't go that far, it'd be foolish to see them as harmless. And as for calling this place 'home', well it shows you're settling in well."

"No I'll stay. The night might be picturesque but I still don't trust what lurks in the darkness. And we wouldn't want you disappearing because of a failed attempt at using your abilities."

"Indeed. Perhaps it's best to return to the hotel."

"Yes he didn't have much choice. Neither did prime Rouge to be fair. Oh well not much we can do about it now "

"Most likely a plan as well. And I don't think he did: Rouge practically dragged him away just now. Though I suppose they'd be heading off alone even if we weren't here."

"It appears we have been abandoned together. What a coincedence," said Crowley sarcastically.

Rouge took Shadow's arm and led him to a nearby bar. "I don't approve of all this scheming to somehow control my counterpart's personal life," he said to her before sipping the drink handed to him. "Relax handsome. For an 'anti-Shadow' he seems a lot like you, so he'll be just as stubborn if he catches wind of it. It's not likely he'll be played the fool," replied Rouge.

"Good luck with that," said Rouge.

"I don't think it would do much to help. But if you want to, then by all means do it."

"Nope. I don't know him so I can't help you much. She's already getting to help him pick out a car, that seems like enough for now," replied Rouge.

The trio just followed after Anna and Red.

Shadow, Rouge and Crowley stood up and headed for the door.

Thanks for keeping it safe. I'll take it back now.

"Nice idea. I'll get Hope on it."
