Things were looking up! Sonic was navigating the ARK, and Tails had successfully found and destroyed the generator powering the Eclipse Cannon. If they were lucky, they’d save the day with time to spare!
They weren’t lucky. While Tails was doing his job, Eggman came out of nowhere and ...

Have I mentioned yet that I wasn’t fond of adventure? I’m sure I have. Well I’ll say it again, I do not like adventure.
The last adventure nearly ended with me drowning on dry land because of a water monster named Chaos. While this whole thing with the ARK had been less p...

Down on Earth, the prevailing attitude was rather confusedly something like apathy.
There were some things that the human mind was just ill-equipped to handle. No one really understood what a million years meant, even as they stood in the museum and looked at dinosaur fossils. No...

Shadow stepped off the teleporter to let the others come in, and found himself gravitating towards the window overlooking Earth.

Heyu was sleeping, and Humi was bored. She was bored, but not anymore!

I might have made a mistake.
Not going after Humi, there wasn’t anything that could convince me not to do that. The mistake was that I’d been awake for, what… 22 hours at this point? I felt fine, and I was doing okay driving, but I knew that sooner or later I was going to experience c...

Shadow knew how to use the Chaos Emerald. It almost felt like the knowledge was built-in, it was so intuitive, but he’d also read the theory surrounding it, when he was younger. It had been part of his education.
But he had never done so before the Doctor freed him. And while it was int...

Some people can hold onto their anger for ages. They nurture it like a fire, and keep it fueled to burn indefinitely. Mine was a firework; my anger burned hot and fast, and fizzled out quickly. I just wasn’t able to hold onto it for very long. No matter how much the other guy deserved it.

Seeing Mecha Sonic again after their last encounter was a shock. Humi didn’t remember exactly how that fight ended, but she was told that Chaos knocked her and Amy out, so she’d assumed Mecha Sonic got destroyed. Not only was he not a pile of scrap, he seemed as good as new! That, plus the fa...
