4th wall - video/action-- ALL OVER JOHTO;

[waypastcool]

[What's this? A blue hedgehog with bright red sneakers? A really smug looking blue hedgehog?

Yep! It looks like Sonic's back to his good old hedgehog self, and he's definitely excited about it.]

Yo, Johto! Check this!

[ZOOM! There in a minute, gone in a flash! As Sonic takes off, there's a big cloud of dust. Once he's back on screen, he's grinning like mad.]

That's right, the hedgehog is back and ready to juice! Think you've seen fast? You've got another thing comin', 'cause I'm about to put the pedal to the medal and burn rubber! Bet I can do a lap around this whole place in a Sonic second! But go ahead, place your bets, 'cause I'm outta here!

[He'll go ahead and take the 'Gear back from his Sneasel and start revvin' it up! Look out, folks, 'cause Sonic will be everywhere. That's what happens when you give him his speed back.]

[Shadow was amused-- which meant he was going to get kicked in the butt at some point. The flame tornado was a brilliant sight, though short lived. Shadow, now a few feet away, began to dust himself off quite calmly.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[Well, Shadow. Have fun trying to detect him while he's beneath the ground! Just because he's digging doesn't mean he's going slow.

He's just waiting for the right time to strike.]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[After finishing his dusting, Shadow looks about.]

... Hmph. Ran away after all?

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

[Look out below, Shads, because Sonic's popping right up, still spinning.]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

Nh--! [That light tremor comes a little too late for Shadow to realize where the hedgehog went. He gasped, suddenly knocked into the air by the rolling ball of spines. It took a short moment for Shadow to get his bearings, forcing himself into a ball in order to escape further embarrassing injury.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

How's that for pathetic?

[Once he comes to a stop, Sonic's grinning like mad. Aw yeah, that was way past cool.]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[Landing on the ground, Shadow rights himself, wiping some leaves off his quills. Oh, he's not the least bit impressed.]

Using my lines, hm? You really are the fake hedgehog around here.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Fake? No way, man! You're lookin' at a true, blue hedgehog.

[Annnd... now he's just a little irritated. Way to go.]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

And yet there was a hedgehog here before that was nothing like you. [Tilts his head.] He was quite serious about there being only one of him. Perhaps you're his copy?

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Or maybe he's my copy.

[Eyeroll.]

Look, unless you're from planet Mobius, there's no way I'm a faker. There's only one hedgehog who's this good lookin' and always cookin' back home!

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

... What is Mobius? [Shadow had never heard of it before; he only knew of the Solar System's planets... and Earth. He'd never heard of "Mobius", though he knew what a Mobius Strip was.] I've never heard of that planet before.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Then you're missin' out, because it's one past cool planet.

[Even though a lot of it's polluted. Still, it's got neat places like the Great Unknown, the Great Jungle... and a lot of places with Great in their names.]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[That told him nothing... Then again, it WAS Sonic telling him, he shouldn't have expected an answer.]

Hmph. If you're from it, it can't be anything too amazing.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

You've got it all backwards! With a hedgehog this hot, the planet's gotta be sizzlin'! And Mobius has all kinds of neat places and mondo magic stuff.

You should've seen it before 'Buttnik took over!

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[Well, "hot" isn't the word Shadow would use to describe Sonic, but...]

...

"Buttnik"...? [Why does that nickname... bother him so much?]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Dr. Robotnik. He's big, he's round, and mondo ugly. And his nephew ain't much better lookin'.

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

[Shadow glared quite obviously, suddenly throwing forth a few bolts of Chaos Spear.] Hhaa!!

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Hey!

[He manages to sidestep the bolts, but just barely.]

That's just plain rude!

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you know all about that, blue hedgehog. [Using a way to describe the Professor like that...!? It was unheard of.]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Hey, Robuttnik deserves it. He's the one who took over Mobius and trashed the place!

[In other words, it's not that Professor guy. Go figure!]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

... [This wasn't adding up. But then again... There was also the Professor's grandson... Could he be talking about the Doctor?]

What is this man's full name?

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Julian.

[Blegh. What kinda name is Julian, anyway?]

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

...

[wh]

I don't know anyone by that name.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Well, you said you've never heard of Mobius, either. So somethin's definitely up...

[no1canbreakyou.livejournal.com]

... I knew a man named Professor Gerald Robotnik. He created a Space Colony called the ARK, which circled the Earth and conducted multiple research experiments for the betterment of mankind.

[Folds his arms.] But the people he wanted to help cared little for him. The government army invaded the ARK, killed everyone on board, even the Professor's granddaughter, but took the Professor alive so he could have a trial, and then be executed.

[Frowns. He was good at facts; anything else would be revealing too much about himself.]
