Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow knocked Locke out and moved over to Rouge, as the dream began to collapse on itself. "You got a new plan? Because suddenly I feel a lot more awake than I did before," she asked urgently. "Yes I do. But it's cutting it close," he replied before knocking her out. He noticed a large rockface up ahead and began running towards it, hoping to make it before he was caught in the implosion. In the real world, Rouge woke up and hurriedly changed into her normal attire before leaving her room and going over to Hope and Shadow. "Who's going to wake Shadow up?" asked Hope. "I think he's doing it himself hon," she replied with a sigh.

Shadow swiftly knocked Tikal out before going over to Melody. "My sincerest apologues for this," he said to her as he used the sleeper hold.

Crowley put his arm around her, unwilling to speak for fear of affecting Melody and Skye's future any further. "You all go first. Rouge can knock me out when the time comes, and by the looks of it she'll be unconscious soon as well, so it'll be fine," said Shadow. "Yeah I'd say that's about right," responded Rouge.

Crowley noticed the shaking and put his other hand on hers. "Truly that is a tragedy. But you're free now," he said, turning to face her. In his mind, he honestly felt sorry for her, though he was still somewhat uncomfortable with having to toy with her as a distraction. He knew he was potentially setting her up for a nasty fall.

"That must have been horrible for you. I was quite fortunate in that I got free time on occasion."

"Exactly. It's beautiful. I can't remember the last time I was able to do this on Moebius." "Who wants to go next?" asked Shadow.

Crowley took her hand and led her out to the balcony. "It's a lovely view of the sea out here," he said. Shadow walked over to Skye. "Ok, just relax Skye. This'll hurt a bit, but it'll be over quickly." He then performed the sleeper hold as soon as he finished his sentence, hoping to get it over with as fast as possible for Skye.

"Ah yes. I haven't seen her either. No matter, I'm sure she's fine. She can handle herself. Would you care to join me on the balcony?"

Shadow performed the sleeper hold on Crowley. It felt odd, as he was essentially knocking himself out in a manner. Hope let out a small yelp when she heard the door slide open on the floor below her, but then heard another door open and someone step out. Crowley appeared and waved to her before swiftly and quietly going downstairs, spotting Mina. "Hello my dear. Is there something I can help you with?" he asked as he approached her.

And I say "nope". I'm winning.

Shadow gently set Hope down and walked up to Mina. "Somehow I reckon you'd want the other Shadow to do this," he said, pointing to Crowley. He swiftly performed tbe sleeper hold on Mina, wondering where she would awaken.

Shadow slowly walked over to them. "I do, unfortunately." "Just make it quick," said Hope as she gulped. Shadow positioned his left arm in around her neck and gently put his right hand on the back of her head. "I will. Don't struggle, it'll be quicker thst way. I'm sorry it's come to this," he said. "Don't worry. Ok do it." Shadow instantly applied the grip, and Hope quickly went unconscious, Shadow cradling her head. In the real world, Hope woke up and quickly went outside of her room and over to Shadow, prodding him in the arm. In the dream, he immediately felt this. "She's free!" he announced happily.

"I'm sure. Logically speaking it's the most likely escape roite. And I know if it does go wrong you'll get me out." Shadow walked over to her and put his arm around. "If you're sure about this, good luck Hope." She responded by giving him a smile and a hug. "I'll be fine," she said to reassure him, before going over to Melody.

"I'll go," said Hope, surprisingly certain in her tone.

"So we need to fall asleep? It's worth a shot."

"Then please share it with us all," said Rouge, lifting her head up slightly.

Shadow yawned. "Maybe he's just going to wait until we all go insane from boredom." he muttered.

Having finally done all the Special Stages, I can confirm that Super Sonic returns in game. You have to get 50 rings, then you just touch the Chaos Emeralds icon on the bottom screen and Sonic goes super.

"I'm perfectly capable of altering it to suit my plans. What it was designed for is irrelevant. It's what can be done with it that's important."

"I have far grander plans for it than personal use."

"Just a quick note for when we get out. Whatever you do, don't destroy the machine! I need it intact. If there's so much as a dent on it, bam, zoom, straight to the moon!" said Hope.

(OOC Super Eggman?)

"I suppose it's as good a plan as any," said Shadow.

i'm good thanks.
