Shadow the Hedgehog

"You know I really should charge you for this." said Shadow as he put his hand on Gamma's core, emitting his chaos energy.

"Very well, Knuckles. Let's go." (OOC But Skye isn't a STRANGE being, he's a (fairly) normal kid. :P *Shadow breaks down at his words* )

Shadow was lurking behind a rock, and when he saw Knuckles run by alone, grabbed him and pulled him into the shadows. "What the hell is that thing? Bringing strange beings from another dimension here is a very good way to mess with our world in unimaginable ways."

Shadow had seen the 2 Knuckles enter on his way to the restroom and chaos controlled out of the bar. "What was that thing?" he asked himself.

"So Glen. What do you plan on doing once this little holiday is over?" asked Shadow. Meanwhile Rouge was now walking along the beach back to the hotel, contemplating what Shadow meant by other priorities. And why did she need to tell the Zone Cops if he had to leave early?

Japanese war cry. I think it means 'Ten Thousand Years of the Emperor' or something similar to that.

If you replace the word "Locke' with 'Shadow' in your sentence, you'd be correct.

While you all waste your time with a silly cheerleading contest, I'll take the lead.

"No. Something's up. I'll be right back." Shadow ran to intercept Rouge. "What're you doing here? Is something wrong?" Rouge was panting from her run. "Back in the UF... there's been a.... string of deaths... at HQ. I thought I'd warn you, they could call us back to investigate any time." "Just great. So much for time off. Anyone in particular die?" "I don't know Shadow, that wouldn't be told to the press. It's probably just some munitions detonating but chances are we'll still be called back." "I've got other priorities when we get back. Think you can handle this one?" "Of course. Now go enjoy your drink. I'll tell you if anything happens." "Ok, just make sure to tell the Zone Cops if I do have to leave." Shadow then walked back to the others at the table. "Sorry about that, turns out I might have to leave any time this week. Work commitments."

Rouge continued to sprint along the beach towards the bar, while Shadow enjoyed his drink. "This is nice, I can't remember the last time I had a drink with other people."

"Fine." Shadow and Crowley leaned in so they would be in the picture, still clutching their drinks.

Shadow returned with their drinks. "Nothing too strong don't worry. I fully intend to walk out of here." After Rouge saw the report she jumped up and sprinted out of her room and down to the beach, then tried to remember where the bar was.

Eventually the group reached the bar. "Alright what do you guys want?" asked Shadow. In her room Rouge was flicking through the channels until she reached the news, which was showing an updated report on the story she saw in the paper.

"You're welcome!" called back Rouge. "Ok guys, I'm going to relax. Don't be long Shadow." Rouge walked into the elevator and tben into her room. She then pulled off her boots and flung herself onto the bed, before turning on the TV. "Come on guys, let's get to that bar." said Shadow.

That's a pretty strange one Locke. Especially that Apocalypse Now reenactment. One of my strangest dreams involved me running through a forest with everyone from my old school trying to kill me except my best friend, who was waiting with a truck. After dispatching some of my pursuers I was killed when one guy through a bundle of grenades at me. I then spent the rest of the dream as basically a floating camera and saw my friend drive off with a solemn look on his face as film credits began to roll. That was an interesting experience.

Well I certainly enjoyed this issue. I expected high seas action and wasn't disappointed. The naval battle was well executed (and drawn for that matter, as was the comic as a whole). It was great to see Bean again in all his insane glory. For me he was the highlight of this issue, closely followed by Marine and her constant belittling of the crew. I found it amusing that Cream was the one to suggest ramming, and hope we'll be seeing more of the robot crew. All in all I'm looking forward to seeing how this arc goes.

"He better not have left. Where are you lot going anyway?" asked Rouge, all the while glancing at Shadow. "We're just going to a bar." he replied. "Fine. Just be back within a couple of hours Shadow." He gave her a nod.

"Nothing wrong with brainstorming ide-" Rouge was then hit in the face by a newspaper. She read the front page "Oh great. I think I'll leave that investigation to Shadow." she said, discarding the paper. "As I was saying, nothing wrong with brainstorming ideas for your future out loud."

"I don't think so. As far as I know you have to be an echidna to be made a Guardian. But they could make an exception if someone proved themselves I suppose. You'd need to talk to them about that, I'm not part of that particular club."

"Heh I know what you mean. But I hope it doesn't rub off on you TOO much."

"Sounds like you've moved into the nuthouse. Well at least they're the eccentric type of crazy. It's the best kind."

"What the..? Now THAT is crazy. Who came up with that bright idea? Hopefully not Locke."

"That would be pretty problematic. He'd probably get thrown into an asylum."

"Haha I guess it would Melody."
