RELAAAAAAAX

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

[And here's a Shadow...chilling on a beach on the simulated South Island with a nice cold drink and an umbrella over a beach chair. Because that's totally what Shadow would do in a situation where he's been taken from his world.




Wait, what?]

[Shadow had been spending the previous hours exploring multiple zones; it was interesting... Most of them he'd never even seen before. He stops on the beach, dusting himself off and feeling the breeze--]

Hm?

[... is that... him?]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

[And from where he sits, he sees...himself?

He waves.]

Yo.

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[Narrows his eyes. "Yo"? What?]

Who are you? And why do you look like me?

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

Name's Sonic.

[Slurrrrrrp]

And I should ask the same thing!

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

... [Shadow stared, wide eyed. "Sonic"?]

That's impossible. You're not supposed to look like me, blue hedgehog.

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about? I've looked like this for years.

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[Narrows his eyes once more.]

No you haven't. You've never looked like me. Have you really stooped so low as to try and copy me?

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

T[And now his eyes narrow.]

The hell I have. I don't even know who 'you' are!

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

I'm Shadow the Hedgehog, the one and only ultimate life form... [His right hand begins to glow, honestly insulted by Sonic's new look.] There's no time for games... Disappear! [Chucks a Chaos Spear at him.]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

Oh please.

[He dashes quickly to the side.]

I've heard that same song before. Lemme guess, you're also gonna take over the universe and try and take over Earth too, right?

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[Watches Sonic, whipping another Spear at him. He doesn't humor him with an answer, using his efforts instead to attack the fake. He leaps up into the air, throwing himself into a homing attack.] Hhup!

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

[In response, Sonic charges his own homing attack. Geronimooooo!]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[The two hit each other at a high velocity, sending them both back from the recoil. Shadow unrolls and lands on his feet, fists clenched. This makes no sense; the expressions on Sonic's face were unfitting on Shadow's... It greatly disturbed him.]

If you know that about me, then how do you recognize me where you're from?

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

[Sonic slides as he unrolls, hopping back up with an annoyed glare.]

Because you took my look, that's why!

And I didn't know that about you, it just happens to be what every bad guy wants.

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

You were wrong about one detail. I have no intention of taking over the Earth.

[Grins. It's unlike Sonic's; much more malicious.]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

[...WELL THEN.]

Yeah, I'm not letting you blow it up either, sorry.

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

There's nothing you can do about it.

Everything's already been set in motion.

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

That's what every megalomaniac says about their plans.

[He bends down, ready to launch an offense.]

Don't you types ever learn?

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[Stands his ground, arms folded.]

You don't seem to get it.

I killed you. [Sonic should have been immobilized as the Doctor placed every emerald into the control console-- even if Sonic had regained consciousness, he'd be dead along with everyone else. The good... and the bad.]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

...Nooooo you didn't.

[Unless this guy changed from being an echidna with a sniper rifle since then. Which he sort of doubted. Not that he was going to tell this guy someone actually did kill him once. Actually...that was how his fur changed--]

Nice try, though. You'll have to do better than that.

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

I killed a version of you... One that didn't copy me. [Shrugs.] At least, not intentionally.

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

I didn't copy you! If anything you're copying me.

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

That's hardly likely.

[Gestures at him.] You're a mere kid compared to me.

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

I'm no kid!

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

How old are you, hedgehog?

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

I'm 25!

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[Shadow furrows his brow somewhat. This Sonic was a tad older than the one he knew previously. Still, his answer didn't have to change in that right.]

I was created fifty years ago.

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

Not old enough to call me a kid, bud.

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

Older than you. Which means you're made in my image.

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

Not a chance!!

[Unless...no. No, he's the only one! He wasn't made in this guy's image!]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

Prove me wrong!

[Spreads his arms.]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

...Fine!!

[And this he flings his hand out and...points at Shadow?]

What's your phima form look like?

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

... [wh]

My what?

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

Oh come on! If I'm really just copied off of you you should know what a phima is!

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

Why don't you enlighten me? [Shadow frowns.]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

Why should I?

If I'm based on you, you wouldn't be asking!

[Smuggggg.]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

Based on is one thing, exact duplicate is another. You look like me, but that doesn't make us the same.

Honestly.

[awesomehog.livejournal.com]

[Dude, is this South Island?

He takes a moment to scope out the area at top speed. Palm trees, giant flowers, it's all there.

That black hedgehog has the right idea! This is the perfect time to relax, so Sonic's gonna rush over to the shoreline and kick back. He might not like swimming, but the breeze sure is nice.]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

[Yessssss. Hey, that's...that's what he used to look like...]

Yooo!

[awesomehog.livejournal.com]

[Blinkblink.

Why does he sound so...? Nah, he must be imagining things.

But he'll go ahead and wave at his double. 'sup?]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

[Slurrrrrp.]

Want some fruit drink, me?

[awesomehog.livejournal.com]

[Nod, nod! That sounds great.]

[imsonicnoreally.livejournal.com]

[Tangerine and lemon smoothie comin' up!]

[awesomehog.livejournal.com]

[Sweet! Once it's ready, he'll give it a slurp. Nothing like a smoothie on a warm, summer day.]
