With Light In My Heart, Entry 2: The Mural
Tumblr media
''Don't let this be your destined fate, you know I can't just sit and wait. That plentiful sigh, that beautiful lie, I won't deny how this broke you. I'll ask you once where this all ends, you won't just simply make amends. Unjustly profound, brought up to break down, your reverence was torn apart. How far will I go in spite of my cries? I know that I'll see it through! I'll look right up to the timely skyline! We will push until we go beyond your wildest dreams! We go beyond the ever-unknowing! Beyond, not without you! We go beyond that very endless blue! Well I know, wherever I go, I won't be alone! I haven't lost my pull to you! When, not until the end, not without my friends, push on into the beyond!''
– Beyond by Victor McKnight and Callie Rae (Sonic Frontiers)

''There is nothing better than having a well-balanced breakfast,'' Sonic said, stretching his arms as he gazed at the food on the table.
''You're eating chili dogs. You can hardly call that junk food 'well-balanced','' Shadow responded in a dry tone, sitting across the table and holding a cup of black coffee, with a pastry and coffee beans on the side.
''Says the guy who eats coffee beans raw,'' Sonic pointed out in a snarky tone, albeit with a smile on his lips.
''Tch.'' Shadow took a sip of his coffee, not responding to Sonic's question. He knew that his own taste on food was weird in comparison to other people, but he didn't care. Sonic chuckled softly, grabbing a chili dog and stuffing it into his mouth, enjoying it's savory taste.
The two hedgehogs were currently sitting at a café inside the Restoration HQ, with Sonic having dragged Shadow there to get some proper breakfast before they leave for their journey. Shadow went along with it, having been a little curious about the Restoration HQ as he didn't recall ever visiting it, not even before it got destroyed by it's own battleship during the Clean Sweepstakes Incident. He had to admit, it was impressive how everyone put so much hard work to build it, and later on rebuild it, and keep it operating. They were also well coordinated, rebuilding any damage across the Earth left by Dr. Eggman and other threats, as well as protecting citizens and reconstruction efforts. Since G.U.N. had been out of commission since the Eggman War, they were the only organization who could do anything on such a level.
Shadow noted how Sonic had a relationship with the Restoration similar to the one he used to have with G.U.N – neither hedgehogs were members of their respective organization, even though Shadow had been several times mistaken for a G.U.N. agent by those who didn't know the truth about his status. Instead, Sonic would help the Restoration out whenever he could, preferring to do his own thing and having the freedom to act on his own rather than having to listen to someone else. Shadow's own situation was a bit more complex, as he didn't particularly care about G.U.N., but he wasn't above becoming allies with them if their goals aligned. Otherwise, he stayed out of their way and Commander Abraham Tower didn't bother him unless necessary, since their relationship was still a little tense and the last thing G.U.N. needed was to get on Shadow's bad side. Shadow also doubted that Commander Tower forgot about him, Rouge and Omega breaking into a G.U.N. base to steal one of their rockets to travel to the ARK when he sensed Black Doom's return.
Shadow broke out of his thoughts, ignoring the noise in the background as people passed by, talking, doing tasks or just following their daily routines. He put down the coffee cup, glancing at Sonic, who was still busy finishing his plate with the chili dogs. ''Have you thought about where you'd want to go on this adventure or do you plan to go into this blindly?''
Sonic paused for a moment, thinking about it. ''I actually wanted to do a detour to Angel Island. I had promised Knuckles to check on the Master Emerald from time to time.''
''I'm surprised that the echidna was willing to leave it unprotected,'' Shadow commented.
''Knuckles agreed that the Master Emerald isn't really in danger of being taken since Eggman seemed to have lost interest in it. In fact, the last time it was in danger, it was because Neo Metal Sonic took it to power himself up and become Master Overlord, and I doubt that Metal Sonic would try that again,'' Sonic replied, with Shadow vividly remembering that event. ''Since then, Rouge was the only one who had tried to steal the Master Emerald, but considering how Knuckles brought her along, there doesn't seem to be anyone he has to worry about.''
''Hmph, I can only imagine how their treasure hunt will go,'' Shadow commented as he took another sip of coffee. He knew well that Rouge loved to mess with Knuckles, having a great fondness for the echidna, but whether it was because she genuinely liked him or because he was in the possession of the largest jewel she had set her eyes on, he couldn't tell. He assumed it was a little bit of both, but he wasn't going to speculate about their relationship since it was none of his business.
''I think they'll be fine,'' Sonic said, being more optimistic than his rival. He knew that Knuckles and Rouge weren't the best of friends, but at the same time, they could get along well and he was sure that they had fun on their treasure hunt.
''I assume that there is also a reason for why you're not guarding the Master Emerald full time,'' Shadow said, with Sonic giving him a sheepish smile.
''Actually, during the first few days when Knuckles was gone, I had gone to Angel Island and tried to see whether I could pull it off,'' Sonic admitted.
''Let me guess – you didn't even last an hour before getting bored and leaving,'' Shadow said, giving Sonic a smug smile as he imagined his rival going stir-crazy while standing on the altar.
''For your information, I did last more than an hour,'' Sonic replied, furrowing a brow. ''In fact, I lasted several hours.''
Shadow rose an eyebrow, clearly not too impressed. ''I still have my doubts.''
Sonic tried to keep a straight expression, but it was obvious that there was no way of convincing Shadow as the dark hedgehog saw through it. Sonic sighed, coming clean, ''Okay, I guess the only reason I lasted so long was because I decided to take a nap.''
Shadow snorted in amusement. ''I knew it. You don't have the patience to just stand in front of the Master Emerald when there is nothing going on.''
''Pffft, don't tell me that you could do it better,'' Sonic responded in a challenging tone, with Shadow immediately responding without even thinking.
''Of course I could do it better than you, and you know that. In fact, it wouldn't even be a challenge for me,'' Shadow said confidently.
''Hey, Sonic! Woah, you're also here, Shadow?!''
Before Sonic could respond to Shadow's taunt, they were interrupted by two familiar faces, those being Tangle and Whisper. Sonic greeted them, while Shadow just nodded politely in response.
''I didn't expect either of you to see here. What's up?'' Tangle asked.
''Shadow and I have been talking about going to Angel Island. What about you two?'' Sonic asked.
''We were about to have a girl's day out, since nothing is going on,'' Tangle replied, flashing a bright smile to Whisper, who smiled back warmly.
''Tangle wanted to spend some quality time,'' Whisper added in her trademark whisper, being just loud enough for Sonic and Shadow to pick up what she wanted to say. Tangle, shooting Whisper a playful grin.
''I think we've earned it after all the hard work.'' She then turned to the two hedgehogs. ''You two also have fun!''
''Don't worry, we will!'' Sonic replied, smiling brightly, while Shadow remained silent and less optimistic. He still wasn't sure what to make of the whole journey he agreed to go on, but he doubted that he would have much fun since he was certain that Sonic would keep annoying him. Once Tangle and Whisper left, Shadow turned to Sonic.
''How do you plan to get to Angel Island?'' he asked the cobalt hedgehog.
''We'll use the Tornado…'' Sonic trailed off for a moment when he realized something. He then chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head. ''Except, Tails took the Tornado when he left.''
''You don't have any alternative plan?'' Shadow asked, furrowing a brow, with Sonic's sheepish smile telling him everything. He sighed in exasperation. ''How did you even manage get on Angel Island previously?''
''Knuckles left before Tails did, so I could still use the Tornado to visit the island. I guess that's why my mind jumped straight to that,'' Sonic explained.
''That's just typical…'' Shadow muttered, taking another sip of coffee, placing the empty cup on the table and eating a coffee bean. ''I guess I'll have to look out for you, again.''
Sonic pouted. ''Oh, do you have a plan, Mr. Ultimate Lifeform?''
''I have a Chaos Emerald on me. Once we get close enough to the current location of Angel Island, I can use Chaos Control to get us there,'' Shadow replied, a smirk forming on his lips. Sonic quickly perked up, feeling a familiar rush of excitement.
''That's great! If you're done, we can leave as soon as possible,'' Sonic replied. Shadow nodded, placing another coffee bean in his mouth as he wondered how that visit would go.
xXx
There was a flash of cyan light when Sonic and Shadow suddenly appeared at the outer part of Angel Island, being surrounded by a jungle. Sonic had a rough idea of where they were, turning to Shadow with a curious look.
''If I remember this right, you know the way to the Master Emerald altar, but you haven't seen the rest of the island,'' Sonic said, with Shadow nodding. ''Lucky for you, I've been on Angel Island enough times to know what places to visit, even with Knuckles trying to kick me off the island most of those times.''
''I couldn't even imagine why he would do that,'' Shadow replied in a deadpan tone, his lips curving into a wry smile when Sonic gave him an exasperated look. He had figured that, if he was already going to tolerate Sonic teasing him, he would step up to the challenge with some teasing of his own. They were equals, after all.
''In any case, I was thinking that we could race to the altar,'' Sonic said, deciding to ignore Shadow's comment, not wanting to admit that he was well aware that he did give Knuckles a reason to kick him off the island a couple of times, but he was convinced that the other times the echidna got annoyed at him wasn't his fault. Besides, he and Knuckles were on much better terms now. He then flashed a cocky smile. ''Ready? GO!''
Sonic didn't even give Shadow the time to orient himself, vanishing in a flash of blue as he dashed towards the altar. Unfortunately for him, Shadow was already on his tail and catching up fast. Even with Sonic getting an early start, Shadow knew him well enough to be aware that the moment his rival mentioned a race, he'd have to be alert and match Sonic's energy. He could hear Sonic's laugh as they were head-to-head, dashing between the trees to find an optimal route to the altar, with the flora only serving as an obstacle course. Sonic actually wished that the race lasted a bit longer when they spotted the ruins and the bright green Master Emerald on top of it, with the two hedgehogs skidding to a halt right in front of the staircase that led to it.
''Ha! Sonic the Hedgehog once again proves that he is The Fastest Thing Alive!'' Sonic boasted, pumping his fists as he struck a victory pose.
''Tch, you call that fast? I was clearly ahead of you,'' Shadow told him, scoffing as he folded his arms across the chest.
''No way, dude! I totally won this one!'' Sonic replied, trying not to look at the skid marks left on the ground proving that their race was a tie. Frankly, he didn't really care about winning or losing the race, he just wanted to banter with Shadow and he was happy that his rival was responding in a positive way rather than keeping quiet. It made things between them much more interesting and he really enjoyed it, sincerely hoping that Shadow enjoyed their rivalry just as much.
Their banter died down soon, with both looking at the Master Emerald on top of the altar, keeping Angel Island safely afloat. There was something awe-inspiring about this powerful gem of unknown origins and the reason for many battles over it. Sonic was well aware of the origins of the Chaos Emeralds, thanks to his adventure on the Starfall Islands, but the Master Emerald remained a mystery.
''Looks like everything's fine with the Master Emerald,'' Sonic commented, with Shadow's ruby eyes shifting to the side as he glanced at the cobalt hedgehog, arms folded across his chest.
''I suppose the fact that the island wasn't stuck in the ocean was the first sign that the Master Emerald was still where it belongs,'' he remarked in a dry tone. Sonic just chuckled lightly at the remark, then took note of a couple of Chao playing nearby the altar.
''At least these guys are having fun,'' Sonic commented, then beckoned Shadow to follow him. ''Com'n! I did say I'd take you on a tour, didn't I? I hope you can keep up with me!''
''Don't underestimate me, Hedgehog!'' Shadow responded, quickly following Sonic.
xXx
''Welcome to Hidden Palace!'' Sonic said as he and Shadow reached the next area, having left just Lava Reef or, as Sonic described it, the ''more scenic route''. Shadow disagreed, having had to pull Sonic away from stream of lava that suddenly burst through a wall after Sonic got too close to it. The enthusiastic hedgehog was too busy telling Shadow everything about his own first time visiting Angel Island too notice the more hazardous spots, but, as usual, he didn't really care that much about the danger he found himself in, but he thanked Shadow for the save.
Shadow followed Sonic to Hidden Palace, taking note of how it was a massive subterranean cavern populated by plateau-like formations of crystalline rock that line the floor and ceiling for as far as the eye can see, followed by an architecture adorned with pillar walls and a multitude of bright neon colours. Having already seen several other Zones, like Marble Garden, Carnival Night (with Sonic briefly getting annoyed at a particular Spinning Wheel), Sandopolis, Azure Lake and so on, he had to admit that he didn't expect the island to have such a variety of places. In fact, he realized that he knew very little about Angel Island besides it being the location of the Master Emerald and Knuckles' ancestral home, noting how Rouge probably knew her way better around the island than him given all the times she came here to annoy Knuckles.
''If we go over there, we'll reach Sky Sanctuary, which Knuckles had told me was a sacred territory only he could visit. He still allowed me and Tails to go there because we were all chasing after Eggman to get back the Master Emerald,'' Sonic explained, pointing at the path ahead. Shadow rose an eyebrow.
''If it's a sacred place, are we even allowed to go there without the echidna's knowledge?'' Shadow asked, with Sonic pausing for a moment. He knew that Knuckles had trusted him with watching the Master Emerald in his absence, but the echidna never said anything about keeping an eye on the other Zones. ''Ehhh, I guess he wouldn't mind since he agreed to let me keep an eye on the Master Emerald. We'll just do a quick peek. Besides, if you enjoyed seeing the previous Zones, then you have to see this one! The sight is amazing!''
''You're the tour guide,'' Shadow stated in a matter-of-fact tone, shrugging. So far, Sonic's tour didn't disappoint and he found himself interested in listening to Sonic's tale about his past adventures. Admittedly, Sonic was far from ideal, since his own descriptions were based on either what he had experienced or what Knuckles had told him, but he managed to keep Shadow's attention.
The dark hedgehog suddenly stopped as they came across peculiar room, his jaw dropping slightly as he stared in stunned silence at what was depicted on the stitched mural on the wall. Sonic took note of Shadow not following him and turned around, following Shadow's gaze and grinning as he realized what distracted his rival.
''Right, I forgot this was here,'' Sonic said.
''Is that…?'' Shadow trailed off, glancing at Sonic, who just nodded in response. Their attention then turned back to the mural, which was an abstract depiction of Dr. Eggman being inside a large robot and holding the Master Emerald while confronted by Super Sonic.
''You know, I was also surprised when I saw this. I had actually asked Knuckles later about it, but he said that the mural was ancient and that he had no idea who made it. He even speculated that it may have been thousands of years old,'' Sonic explained.
''Whoever made it, they had to have some kind of insight into the future to depict you in your Super Form fighting against the Doctor,'' Shadow said, not really sure what to think about what he saw. Clearly, whoever created this mural deemed this battle important enough to be etched into the wall.
''I guess… Oh, wait!'' Sonic snapped his fingers. ''There is another mural I could show you, but it's at Mystic Ruins. There is a really exciting story tied to that one, and we could also crash for the night at Tails workshop.''
''I suppose I could Chaos Control both of us to Mystic Ruins,'' Shadow said, then followed Sonic as the cobalt hedgehog rushed forward to where Sky Sanctuary was, deciding they would go the first before their detour.
At Sky Sanctuary, Shadow had to admit that Sonic was correct in describing the Zone as ''amazing'', and he also understood why only Knuckles, as the Guardian, was allowed to go here. It felt as if he had entered a different world, the Zone being an ancient, aerial temple located high up in the sky above the clouds. There were many ancient ruins scattered across it, made up of white, mossy stone that floated in the sky; as well as of dark blue glass with a technological pattern. He noticed that it also appeared to serve as the home for Chao, with a few of them flying past them, and two Chao who have been playing where they were standing getting curious about the two hedgehogs.
''Angel Island really does have some interesting locations. I can see why Knuckles protects not only the Master Emerald, but the whole island,'' Shadow said. Sonic whistled.
''Wow, you should tell Knuckles that,'' he said, grinning. Shadow didn't respond, instead just gazing ahead, with Sonic knowing that his rival wasn't the type to just compliment people unless he had a really good reason for that. ''Should we go to Mystic Ruins? I know I didn't show you all of Angel Island, but you can always return here by yourself to explore it.''
''I'm fine with leaving,'' Shadow replied, reaching for the green Chaos Emerald in his quills and holding it up. ''Chaos Control!''
There was a bright flash of light, with the two hedgehogs suddenly vanishing, along with the Chao.
xXx
Sonic grinned when he found himself on the familiar grounds of Mystic Ruins, beckoning to Shadow to follow him to a shrine, neither of them noticing the Chao who had followed them. ''Over here!''
Shadow was genuinely curious about what Sonic wanted to show him, aware that the Mystic Ruins did hold a lot of significance, even if he was unware of their full story. They eventually reached the shrine, finding a mural that shocked Shadow even more than the one at Hidden Palace.
''The BioLizard?'' he muttered the first thing that came to his mind, his eyes wide, only to notice Sonic giving him a surprised look. He then shook his head, immediately realizing his mistake. ''I… Forget about what I said.''
''Well, it does kinda look similar to the BioLizard at first glance, but it's not the BioLizard,'' Sonic said in an understanding tone, glancing back at the mural of a blue, lizard-like being destroying a town. ''That's Perfect Chaos.''
Feeling a little relieved that Sonic didn't tease him for his mistake, Shadow turned his attention back to the mural, figuring that Sonic would soon launch into an explanation in regards to who Perfect Chaos was.
''This was during an adventure that happened before I met you. It's a bit of a long story, though,'' Sonic started.
''Go ahead. I've been listening to all of your previous stories, and I don't mind hearing more,'' Shadow replied in a rather matter-of-fact tone. He actually meant it, having noted that Sonic wasn't as obnoxious as he could be and he was curious about the story behind Perfect Chaos. Sonic grinned at the encouragement, having actually been a little worried that Shadow might lose interest. He turned to the mural, only for both of them to see the two Chao flying up to it, staring at the mural in curiosity, recognizing the being depicted on it, but unsure what to make of it.
''You guys know who that is,'' Sonic stated, with the Chao turning around and flying up to the two, with one Chao settling down on the top of Sonic's head, while the other preffered holding onto Shadow's shoulder, both eager to listen to Sonic's story.
''So, everything began when I ran into this water being at Station Square and battled him, only to learn from Eggman he was the God of Destruction, Chaos. Eggman and Chaos disappeared, but the next day, when Tails was testing a Chaos Emerald at his place, we got ambushed by Eggman who stole the Chaos Emerald, giving it to Chaos, who then transformed. As it turned out, Eggman wanted to gather all the Chaos Emeralds to make Chaos stronger, so Tails and I made the decision to stop him. That didn't really go well for us, because he had managed to steal the two Chaos Emeralds we recovered, and we ran later on into Knuckles, who thought that I stole some of the Master Emerald shards,'' Sonic explained.
''Why would he believe that?'' Shadow gave Sonic a questioning look.
''I dunno. I guess Knux had been getting tricked by Eggman, again,'' Sonic replied with a shrug. ''We did end up battling Chaos again after he absorbed another Chaos Emerald, but he and Eggman then retreated, and when we tried to pursue them, the Tornado got shot down, and I found myself at Station Square again in the aftermath. There, I ran into Amy, who wanted me to protect a Flicky, Birdie. I wasn't really in the mood to deal with her, but that didn't matter because she and Birdie ended up kidnapped by one of Eggman's robots, so I had to chase after them,'' Sonic added in a sheepish tone. While he certainly cared a lot about Amy, he didn't look back fondly on her clinginess and relentless pursuit. ''Luckily, Tails found me with the Tornado 2, and we got onto Eggman's ship, where we found Amy, Birdie, Eggman and one of Eggman's robots. I fought against the robot at first, but Amy got in-between us and said that he was her friend and that he had helped her.'' Sonic hummed in thought as he recalled the memory. ''I think his name was Gamma. He kinda looked like Omega, only taller.''
''If he looked like Omega, it is possible that he was part of the same E-100 Series robot line. Omega was the last one to be created,'' Shadow said, tilting his head. ''I suppose he'd be happy to hear that he wasn't the only one to rebel against Eggman.''
''Heh, yeah. Anyways, I told Tails and Amy to leave because the ship was losing altitude, while I went to pursue Eggman. I eventually found him with Chaos, who had absorbed six Chaos Emeralds, and Big,'' Sonic continued, with Shadow giving him a look of surprise. He still remembered his own meeting with the purple cat in the White Space, having been displaced from time and space, but nonetheless being good company. ''Turns out, Chaos absorbed Froggy, so we had to fish him out first before we could continue. Luckily, we defeated him, and when I went after Eggman again, only to find myself here, at Mystic Ruins. That's when I saw this orb of light, who guided me to this shrine and showed me the mural.''
''What was that light?'' Shadow asked.
''Her name was Tikal, and she was an echidna who lived thousands of years ago. She had shown me what happened in the past, with the full story being that the echidnas back then raided the altar where the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds were, hurting many Chao in the process. Tikal tried to stop them, but their destructive behavior only enraged Chaos, who was the protector of the Chao, causing him to turn into Perfect Chaos. Since Perfect Chaos had the power to destroy the world, Tikal had no other choice but to seal him and herself into the Master Emerald,'' Sonic explained.
''Cha-chao…''
Both hedgehogs turned to the Chao who were with them, taking note of their sadness. The story of what had happened was quite traumatizing, even if it was so long ago, showing just how destructive greed and rage could be.
''I know that it's not something you guys want to hear, but it was key information that we needed to understand Chaos,'' Sonic said in a sympathetic tone, with Shadow glancing at him curiously, his expression hiding what was on his mind. Sonic continued the story, not even noticing Shadow's gaze, ''In the end, we confronted Chaos once more at Station Square after he became Perfect Chaos by absorbing the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds and flooding the city. Tikal wanted to seal Perfect Chaos again into the Master Emerald, but I refused, since that wouldn't be right. Considering how Perfect Chaos' heart was filled with rage and anguish, it wouldn't have changed his feelings even if he got resealed. After all, if he got unleashed again, he would've gone on another rampage, and I wanted to stop that from happening for good.'' Sonic then shot Shadow a grin. ''So, I used the positive energy of the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and defeated him and calmed him down, with Tikal and Chaos then disappearing. However, that wasn't the last time I fought him.''
''Really?'' Shadow tilted his head, both him and the Chao being surprised to hear that.
''Yeah. Remember the Time Eater?'' Sonic asked, with Shadow nodding, having an idea where this was going. ''I was sent to a version of Station Square that had been attacked by Perfect Chaos, but this time I had managed to defeat him without the Chaos Emeralds. That's impressive, right?''
Shadow knew well that Sonic was just fishing for a compliment, so he decided to tease him a little. ''I suppose it shows your growth between the two events. Unfortunately, growth in strength doesn't indicate a growth in maturity.''
''Ouch,'' Sonic grumbled, noting the smirk on Shadow's lips. ''Are you even able to talk to people directly without making backhanded compliments?''
''I'm merely pointing out the obvious. For all the saving you did, you also made a lot of reckless decisions that endangered our world,'' Shadow responded in a matter-of-fact tone. Sonic rolled his eyes, placing his hands on his hips as he furrowed a brow, not backing away from this argument.
''Fine. Name one event where it was completely my fault that the world was in danger,'' Sonic said.
Shadow gave him a hard stare, responding, ''Two words – Paradox Prism.''
Sonic's eyes suddenly widened when he recalled that particular event. His ears drooped as he felt a sudden rush of anxiety, followed by the sound of shattering and the image of a void filled with gates to other places; remains of his own world. He suddenly turned around, a nervous look forming on his expression as the rubbed the back of his head and avoided Shadow's stare, with the Chao on his head giving him a worried look.
''I… I guess that was my fault,'' he muttered, only to give Shadow a questioning look. ''Hey, what did you even do with the Paradox Prism?''
''I made sure to hide it somewhere where neither the Doctor nor you can find it and shatter it again,'' Shadow told him in a sharp tone, with Sonic wincing.
''That sounds right…'' Sonic said, falling silent for a moment, then sighed. ''Not gonna lie, I actually thought that the event you'd mention would be the Metal Virus.''
Shadow's eyes widened, as he was genuinely stunned to hear Sonic bring that up. He lowered his gaze, recalling the frustration and anger he felt when he confronted Sonic, putting all the blame for Mr. Tinker becoming Dr. Eggman solely on his shoulders. He felt a sting of guilt, having had enough time to reflect on what happened to understand that he had been too harsh on Sonic. After all, Sonic wasn't the only one who saw that Mr. Tinker was different from Dr. Eggman, having lost all of his memories, as the Chaotix Detectives, Rouge and Shadow himself had also been there, all of them agreeing with the decision to leave him in that village. Not to mention his own reckless decision of refusing to back off from the fight against the Zombots, his pride and belief of having immunity to the virus as the Ultimate Lifeform getting to his head. In the end, he payed the ultimate price for his own arrogance and jerkass behavior.
''I… I regret what I said during the Metal Virus incident,'' Shadow muttered, turning on his heel as he left a stunned Sonic, walking away. ''We should bring the Chao back to Angel Island.''
''H-Hey, wait!'' Sonic joined the dark hedgehog, who did his best to ignore the cobalt hedgehog, as well as the uneasy look the Chao on his shoulder gave him. It didn't work, as he felt Sonic grabbing his arm. ''Shadow, wait.''
Shadow stopped, glancing at Sonic, who gave him a sympathetic smile. ''I don't think we really had an in-depth talk about all the stuff that had happened, but if you're okay with it, I would like to talk to you more openly.'' Sonic let go off his arm, lowering his gaze. ''I know that I'm not the best at talking about my feelings and that kind of stuff, and you aren't comfortable with it either, but I feel like some of those conversations are long overdue.''
There was silence, with Sonic wondering if he overdid it. Then, Shadow nodded.
''This is something I can agree on,'' he replied, his response filling Sonic with relief. He smiled, glad to see that Shadow would be staying instead of avoiding him. He had figured that it wasn't necessary to talk now, since they had time. Instead, he stepped in front of Shadow, with a challenging smirk.
''Then, I assume you would also agree on a race around Angel Island? And by that, I mean the whole island. You already saw the race track,'' Sonic said, noting how Shadow perked up. If there was anything they felt comfortable with, it was their rivalry, and they were going to take full advantage of that bond.
''Are you that desperate to lose?'' Shadow asked, taking out the green Chaos Emerald.
''Pffft, I will run loops around you,'' Sonic replied, him and Shadow glancing at the Chao, who cheered for them both. They couldn't help but smile at them, feeling a bit more at ease.

You squirm on the couch as you watch Marcus on screen.  His beautiful back is to the camera, a view you didn’t get to see that night, all firm muscle and golden skin.  You admire, as you do every time, how his broad shoulders taper to his trim waste.  Below is still covered by his jeans.
He’s eating you out, pulling wanton noises from your mouth as he thoroughly takes you apart.  Heat pools low in your belly as you vividly remember how it felt to have him between your legs.  You watch, breathing heavily, as you come apart under Marcus’s legendary ministrations.
The urge to relieve some of the pressure building in your center is almost too much to bear, but you know it will be so much better if you can just hold off a little longer.
You hear the door to the apartment open and close, followed by the thud of a bag of groceries landing on the kitchen table.
Your eyes never leave the screen.
“Again?” Marcus asks with a chuckle, walking into the room, completely unfazed by the sight of himself, now naked and having his cock sucked, on screen.
“You were gone all day!” you whine, writhing on the couch with the effort of not touching yourself.
Marcus shrugs off his jacket and steps out of his shoes.  “Can I help?”
You nod and scootch forward on the couch, leaving just enough space for him to snuggle in behind you.  It takes a bit of effort with how broad he is, but it’s so worth it when you sink back into his warm chest, and he wraps his arms around you.
“Hi, baby,” he whispers in your ear before placing a sweet kiss on your cheek.  You chase his mouth, but he pulls away.  “No, no.  Keep watching.”
You turn back to the recording.  Video Marcus is lining up his beautiful cock to fuck you senseless.
Couch Marcus slips his hand down your pants.
Your hips buck into his hand with the first contact, you’re so worked up already.
“So wet, baby, just from watching.  We do look good together,” Marcus rasps.
You moan in response, unable to form words as his talented fingers circle your aching clit.  On screen you climax again and Marcus dives into your pussy to eat you out while you come.  It’s your favorite moment of the video and you can’t help falling over the edge with Marcus whispering how good you feel in your ear.
As you come down from your high, you turn to snuggle face first into Marcus’s chest, pressing pause on the remote.  “You don’t want another?” he teases you.
“I do, but not right now.”  You kiss his soft lips and smile.  “How was your audition?”
“It went well, I think I got it,” he smiles bashfully, pink tinging the tips of his ears.
“Marcus!  That’s great!”
Marcus has a thriving porn career, but the reality is that it has a time limit.  So, he decided to diversify and has been trying to get more acting roles.
“Remind me what this one was again?”
“Well, it’s a 6-episode arc on a crime procedural.  I would play an FBI agent in the art crimes division—”
“Just like in your videos!” you interrupt excitedly.  Marcus often plays an FBI agent in his softcore movies.
He laughs.  “Kind of.  I would be the love interest of one of the main characters, but in the end, she chooses the other guy.”
“No one is going to believe that,” you laugh.  “You’re too handsome and charming.  Is your character a weirdo or something?”
Marcus laughs, “Not in what I’ve seen so far.  A little intense maybe.”
“Good luck to the writers explaining that away then.  I’m so proud of you!”  You kiss him deeply, melting into his plush lips and warm chest.
“Do you want to watch the rest of the video?”  He asks between kisses.
“Nah, I’d rather have the live show.  Let’s go to bed, Marcus.  I need to congratulate you properly.”

I'm kind of reworking how I do things here - not putting so much pressure on myself to put things out and be present and read every single thing I can. I have a life and it's a busy one and I can't spend all my time here (unfortunately) but that doesn't mean I have to leave completely. I'll still do these... weekly-ish. Love y'all

Happy Reading!

Which Arrested Development character is most likely to become vampire?
Really, any of them anon.
The question, of course, is how.
I'll stick with Lindsay and Tobias before this post gets ungodly long.
Lindsay
Lindsay meets a very hot guy in a bar. He has a little bit of a weird skin condition, alright, and maybe he's a bit pale, but he's so attractive and better yet is very into Lindsay. Finally, she can have the open relationship she's been trying to have for years.
The vampire in question just wanted to eat her but this is getting weird/somewhat interesting.
Our singleton vampire is without a mate or a coven. Here's a human woman who seems very very into him and not even slightly alarmed as most women are (Lindsay is, but she's working with this and stopping all warning signs).
Add to that that Lindsay clearly wants to get laid and is attractive.
"Alright, I can work with this," our vampire says and decides to give it a go.
Lindsay wakes up three days later profoundly upset at being knocked out, subjected to bizarre plastic surgery, and injected with whatever the hell he put in her system.
Lindsay dumps his ass and goes home.
And proceeds to accidentally eat someone.
Arrested Development somehow continues as normal except there's a running gag of Lindsay eating someone every once in a while and somehow never eating Tobias despite all likelihood that she should.
Tobias
Tobias joins a method acting group in Italy put together by a lovely woman named Heidi that Tobias is most certainly attracted to! (No amount of any of the other travelers explaining to Tobias that this is a sweepstakes vacation gets through to him, even Heidi is very confused, as the Nigerian Prince email she sent him was about a sweepstake.
"I see you're not breaking character!" Tobias informs her with a bright grin.
Lindsay and Maeby did not join him as both realized this was some kind of Nigerian Prince scheme that will end poorly. It doesn't occur to them that Tobias is actually going to get eaten as a part of this.
Well, the day of the big debut happens and they're taken to a citadel in a place called Volterra where they're putting on their performance with an Italian theater troup local to Volterra.
Tobias gets distracted by impressing the secretaries (who he is very attracted to!) and fails to get eaten with the rest of his party. Upon being redirected to the eating room, the Volturi find themselves witness to this strange little man who starts insincerely screaming "oh, the humanity!" at the sight of the dead bodies (thinking these are very genuine props).
They watch in numb amazement as Tobias (realizing he's supposed to be a vampire) starts trying to eat the bodies.
He goes all in.
He also keeps making homosexual Freudian slips as he's "never had his balls so deep inside a man before"
Aro touches the man's hand and to his amazement Tobias genuinely has no idea that they're vampires. He thinks they're method acting.
Aro can't help himself.
This man must become their jester.
He's just too interesting (and this has to be a gift, this must be a gift, Caius look at him, this isn't normal).
Aro quickly regrets this as the turned Tobias says alarming things like "I'd like to bury my face between his crystal ass cheeks if you know what I mean" with little to no context.
Tobias never realizes he's a vampire even when he starts eating people.
He thinks he's that good at acting.

Love Letter Request:
(Technically addressed to Mango Cookie, platonic)
“To… Whomever gets this, I’m not quite sure who will.
I have received an abundance of candy from a sweepstakes, unfortunately I cannot eat all such candy for a variety of reasons. As such, I will be sending out the remainder of this candy that I don’t plan to eat to a random address somewhere in the world.
I hope it finds you well.
Sincerely, somebody.”
Provided, of course is the candy mentioned in the letter. Mainly chocolates.
Tumblr media
[On a little raft, a letter arrives with some mangos. The envelope is a big soggy, yet it is still a vibrant orange. The letter inside is a golden yellow.]
To whoever sent me these chocolates,
Thank you for sending me these chocolates, friend! They're very sweet, and it's sad to hear that you won't be able to enjoy them, so I'll be sure to enjoy them for you.
I've decided to send you some mangos in hopes that you can eat them! Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Your mango-loving friend
[+you gained a handful of mangos]

Johnny Rockets Allegiant Movie Menu
Food AND Drink
Type of Funny Food: Tie-In Product
Introduced: March 2016
Location: Johnny Rockets
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To promote the box office bomb Allegiant of the Divergent trilogy-turned-quadrilogy, restaurant Johnny Rockets worked with studio Lionsgate to add a few themed items to their menu for a limited time in 2016. The menu release also coincided with a Johnny Rockets Allegiant sweepstakes whose grand prize flew winners out to Hollywood for the movie premiere.
For food, they offered:
Tumblr media
The Defiant Smoked Gouda Burger, a toasted brioche bun burger with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, smoked gouda cheese, and peppered steak sauce,
Tumblr media
The Bleu Bacon Allegiant Burger, a toasted brioche bun burger with bacon, tomato, mesclun, mayonnaise, and bleu cheese crumbles,
Tumblr media
And the Cheddar and Bacon Chicken Rebellion, a toasted brioche bun chicken sandwich with smoked cheddar cheese, garlic aioli, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
They also had a singular drink option, the Dauntless Brownie Brittle Shake, a vanilla shake with fudge, chocolate, and whipped cream, as well as a whole brownie on top.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's hoping the tie-in menu options did better than the film.
-
I came across this one in real life completely by accident. There was a Johnny Rockets at the mall food court I frequented and I happened to sit down and eat there while this was going on. I'm not a burger person, so I just had the shake, which I remember being decent. Even then, I thought it was an odd choice for a themed menu, but I don't work at Lionsgate, so what do I know?

And fall he shall forgot. Nor would never been toss’d down the first a nations.    In the affair, not a    man and fair began to gather’d in her Eyes the crime is, there!

Our Reason for Existence Trenyol's Amazing User Reviews!😂
Trendyol is one of Turkey's largest online shopping sites. Thanks to the variety of stores, effortless ordering, customer satisfaction oriented, fast shipping, and wide price scale, each of us has turned into a shopping monster.👽 If I don't get at least two shipments a week, I have nervous breakdowns😂😂🤓 The application is also very popular with the experiences of internet phenomena, sweepstakes, grocery, and fast food orders.
But that's not our topic today. We are here today to examine the comments made by Trendyol's wonderful customer base on its products.
If you are ready, we start;
Tumblr media
The lady ordered eyeliner. She uses Trndyol as a diary to make comments and product reviews;
“I applied eyeliner in the morning and went out. I didn't have much expectations. But because my day was bad, I cried like three times. but the eyeliner is not damaged as if I had never cried. Great product, highly recommend.''
Tumblr media
Our sister became aggressive because of the high price;
''I liked. But the prices piss me off.”
Tumblr media
I think this lady bought a teddy bear too. She also reveals her love for her husband;
“First of all, I am very satisfied. My husband plays lol until morning and doesn't come to bed. I am a contact addict and have trouble sleeping. So instead of my husband, I hug this bear. It's both soft and big. My cats loved it too. Thanks.''
Tumblr media
It's hard to be widowed of course...
''I bought it for 450 TL but it shows my body. My colleague Mr. Cafer told me. The men in the office might be uncomfortable. Since I am a widow, there is no one to warn me. I am 37 years old and it suited me very well because my body is very beautiful...”
Tumblr media
Brothers are there to sacrifice themselves by wearing their sister's crop tops. This friend of ours is trying the crop top he bought on his 82 kg brother.
Tumblr media
The lady bought a doormat for her ex and still remembers her ex with love...
"I bought it at my ex's house. But there was no need because my ex is himself a doormat.”
Tumblr media
Honestly, this isn't funny, but I still want to share it. Once again, we see what a mistake it is to marry the beyond polite Turkish men;
“Bought for my wife and guaranteed to have a heart attack. We tried and approved. If you have a wife with a slim waist and perfect physique, get this bustier. Otherwise, you'll just cry like me."
Disgusting. Shameful, Disrespectfully. Shame. If you don't like it, you can divorce your wife, but you can't talk like that.
Tumblr media
“Cellulite shows. Lönk😂 But it's so beautiful. I will not return it because I am at peace with myself. The fault isn't in the pants, it's me.''
Tumblr media
This seriously funny.😂 
“I returned it without trying it because I didn't need it. I don't know why I bought it. But the product is nice, I think you can buy it...''
Tumblr media
The interest in the mannequins and the meaningful questions asked to the seller;
"Does Uncle Haji also come with the product?"
Tumblr media
And the mind-blowing answers given by the sellers to the questions asked;😂 
Q: ''In pita with roasted cheddar, cheddar cheese is thrown on the meat. But here, the meat is thrown on the cheddar cheese (he is saying the meat is less) The pita dough was thick and uncooked.''
A: ''The price of meat is 240 TL. You dream of eating 25 TL worth of pita and seeing meat on it.''
WTF! 😂😨
