The pros and Cons of little mermaid.

Before we start- if I had a problem with the cast of the new little mermaid that would make me a huge hypocrite. As I a kid and adult I find myself rewatching these movies for the nostaglia and because of how good they are. And to remind others kindly that Haile is not the first princess of colour.

Meet Rapunzel from Once upon a time, a show that was showing accurate portrayels of Merida/Mulan and yet Rapunzel here is not like her disney counterpart. And no one cared.

And Brandy Norwood did it first...

So my pros and cons of little mermaid and overall critic is more along the lines of Sonic the hedgehog the before and after of his looks- although I wouldn't change the cast of ariel I do have some issues.

If this movie came out hmm about 2015 ish or before I would have no problem.

The Writing is what I have an issue with.

How they handled pinochio, cruella, beauty and the beast is whats making me cringe and know this movie will be painful to watch. Even marvels phase four isn't looking too great as if all the writers dove ship.

So the Pros of Little mermaid-

we need more mermaid movies, the lack of mermaid movies as a whole and what you can do with them. The closest we've had was potc, so it's refreshing to see what they can do, the movement. Underwater etc.

The colour pallete.

Finally her clothes are going to match her, when it comes to Ariel she's the first where her 'commoner' clothes looks better than her dress up outfit. Something they fixed in the sequel by making her dress purple but giving Melody the pink outfit.

Ariel with her red hair and pink dress was a bit of a yikes, to the point where disney marketing tried to fix it- not because of the clashing colour combination but ALSO so ariel wouldn't compete with aurora another princess whose outfit changed between pink and blue- and the blue clashed with cinderlla. So decided that cinderella was blue. Aurora was Pink left Ariel with changing her outfit.

to green.

Now because of skin tone all of a sudden Ariels outfits minus that one pink disaster can FINALLY match ALL the outfits the colour combonation will finally be in harmony. [When it comes to disney I do find myself obsessed with the dresses ^^;]

Thanks to LadySharllin she drew Haile in all the iconic ariel outfits just to get a feel for what it'll look like for the big screen. [Artist]

Now overall she FINALLY suits the pink dress, and most of her other outfits look better too.

But here's the cons that I have of the little mermaid -_-

My critic goes to the producer, the one who is in change of scenary and the overall movement of a shot.

Just having ariel...sitting there singing? Is boring.

compared to its animated counterpart that has MOVEMENT of different shots

When behind the scenes the amount of effort to treat it like theatre, to use movement as a part of acting, the reason why little mermaid was so iconic WAS because of these shots,

God knows I don't WANT the little mermaid to be shot for shot the same, but to have it being similair or trying it's own unique apporach of making it theatrical- I can't help but think that the director was being lazy, that making Haile sit down and sing and no move even though she should be outreaching doesn't reflect well on the movie. It shows that such a well beloved scene of part of your world was treat like a "eh, who cares just sit there and look pretty," Makes you wonder what ELSE have they treat callously?

Pinochio itself has also chopped/ editied the movie to be a husk of what it once was- removing the message the awarness of the dangers of kids not going to school drinking beer/ smoking cigerettes was removed if they did something like that to pinochio what have the done to the little mermaid?

Is this movie going to be empty? Because they'll rely on the actors to lift it?

Next is the colour. It's so desaturated when we know it could look brighter. The most startling colour is the tail so our eyes are drawn down to that instead of her face, her hair should be brighter than that.

Others have issues with the water effects- I don't see the problem with that.

Personally If I could make changes?

I would remove the music all together, with Brandys cinderlla they had original songs if they had different music there wouldn't be a compariosn. My problem with beauty and the beast was when I watched the film the songs would get stuck in my head.

But it was the animated version in my mind, not the actual movie itself.

__________________________________________________________

Now thanks to TWITTER, not the movie itself. But twitter, is a bunch of hypocrites and with the crap they are saying comes across as deeply homophobic.

Little mermaid animation was made by howard ashman. Who died before Beauty and the beast was released, he tragically passed from aids.

Little mermaid itself is ALSO written as a metaphor of a man loving another man, trading away the tail could be seen as trans rep.

Given that the Little Mermaid is ACTUALLY a canon queer story. Means that ariel being a man/trans would be more accurate.

Given that it's twitter that draws lines in the sand on keeping rep seperate from one another. [My problem is with twitter being hypcocrtical- if it was the other way round and we had a movie with LGBT but it was meant as a poc story I would be upset too I do believe in equality if its YES for one group but NO for another thats hypocritcal and its bullshit]

Most believe if it was LGBT it would be more accepted.

But thats a lie. LGBT in disney has LESS rep than POC.

For example,

And thats just Disney, not incluidng episode series like Cory in the white house, thats so raven etc. Or even dreamworks shows like home, prince of egyt movies like think like a man act like a women, name any movie with whoopi goldbirg, chris tucker and eddie murhpy.

BUT compare that to the question I will ask "How many Disney movies are there, where the main character is LGBTQ+"

... Zero.

There is none, so this narrative that LGBT are more accepted that people of colour- thats INLCUIDNG poc-LGBTQ+ is a lie.

Especially with movies where the characters where changed like Annie, the Craft, Charmed, all forgotten.

Even worse when theres an entire MONTH to changing canon characters to poc, because of a lack of representation which fair enough. No problem with that.

But when LGBT project onto characters like Luca and Encanto something that isnt new, we called elsa/merida/ and vanellope queer so we hadn't changed.

But when it comes to projecting onto fictional characters for lack of real rep you would think we would be in the same boat.

But nope, called racist and 'stealing' rep and how whenever black or POC media comes out "tHe LGBT HaS to mAke iT quEer!"

But seeing the reverse that a queer story is made POC, and even told that if it was the other way around we would get that rep?

Clearly not!

Its bordering on delusional that LGBT is told we're above POC that we get more rep when thats clearly not the case.

After Love,simon have we had ANY more movies like that? no.

Having a black little mermaid isn't a problem, hell I wish it luck and given that BRandy did it first and that hamilton and six the musical have a diverse cast- and loving these shows/movies is something I honestly don't have a problem with.

Just don't use LGBT as a weapon only when it suits you. To defend something that in twitters words is taking rep from another community. You guys said it not me HELL this wasn't even my thought process UNTIL I saw Twitter start saying

"Well little mermaid is about a queer man-"

Then in twitters words, thats stealing rep. And hypocritical.

This wasn't my thoughts, I just hate how hypocritical twitter is.

So if anyone gets mad at this, then next time lgbt project don't say they're stealing rep when in your words, little mermaid is stealing lgbt rep.

My point is, defend little mermaid, go watch it. Show support and if it does well then good. But DoN't use LGBT to defend this movie when there is no lgbt in it currently, unless disney will surprise us with making Eric a women and calling her erica then by all means.

I plan on making a whole Cruella analysis on why that movie sucks ALONG with Beauty and the beast, once ariel comes out I'll give a critic.

Lack of LGBT isn't on my radar, as only twiter made that a problem. All in all- with more pros' her tail is lovely and from bits I've seen her movements in water don't look too jank, if I made another post review of it, I won't include the LGBT comment as thats a problem I have with twitter [including ALL of twitter not just speicic groups]

So yeah I wish it well, and I hope to god that haile doll when it comes out doesn't look like a monstrosity like emma watsons did.

I don't think I can take it >.<

Hey Ty, I hope your day has been good so far. I would like headcanons of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles with a Bestfriend reader who is like a sheep in wolf’s clothing? If that makes sense? They look mean and scary but once you get to know them they are a literal sweet heart. The only reason why people are scared of them is because of their resting bitch face and the fact that they can’t communicate their emotions all that well. (Please make this G/N and platonic please! Thank you.)

Hey, my day has been great, thanks for asking! I love this idea! I can't communicate my emotions well either so I can totally relate-

Don't mind the lazy Tails banner, I had to speedrun making it due to school- its not here to stay 💀

Sonic is very open minded and wouldn't feel intimidated or threatened unless you're openly trying to attack or insult him. That being said, he would absolutely be nervous when he first meets you and wonders if he's somehow pissed off someone he's never met before with the way you're looking at him

However, after trying to talk to you to see what's up, he would soon realize you're just an oddball- in a good way! How you two met is something Sonic laughs about a lot

Sonic's an oddball himself, and he would probably be intrigued by you- after that weird first meeting he would stop by to say hi whenever he's in town!

If you stumble over words or have a hard time getting what you want to say out, he would be very patient when trying to talk with you.

Sonic will make sure he understands you clearly. Emotions can be hard for people, and Sonic wants to make sure to ask questions if he feels he got something wrong. Despite being impatient, Sonic cares about his friends a lot and will slow down for them if he needs to!

His mouth works faster than his brain, and he will end up joking about your appearance a lot. However, If you're uncomfortable with that, he would instantly stop and apologize! In this house, we have respectful hedgehogs only.

Sonic is a very social extrovert and would try and help you with learning some social skills. You might be better off asking someone else for help though, learning social skills from a cocky blue hedgehog doesn't sound very productive...

Sonic would teach you how to be confident with yourself. So what if someone doesn't like how you look? That's their problem, not yours!

An extra perk of going into public with Sonic is a lot more people are willing to approach you. Sonic is famous for saving the world multiple times after all, so if someone is traveling with him that must mean they aren't so bad! He helps your reputation a lot, and that helps you make more friends and be more social!

He would go out of his way to defend you from rude comments and comfort you if the comments get to you. Anyone who insults his friends is in for a barrage of insults and challenges from Sonic!

Overall, I feel like he would be just an amazing friend no matter what you look like. He'll never comment on your appearance in a negative or non-joking way, even if he's upset. You're still better off asking someone else for help with expressing yourself better though!

Tails wouldn't be intimidated at all! He completely understands being bullied for physical appearance. He would love to talk to you and make a friend in a similar situation he was in before. He just has to pick up the courage to talk first!

With a lot of help from Tail's friends, he would eventually come up and try and talk to you- however, the first conversation was really awkward, and neither of you really knew what to say!

After a while of trying- congrats, you got yourself a little misfit friend, just like yourself. An intimidating person/animal walking around with a fluffy friendly fox is a rather odd sight.

Tails would have a hard time trying to decipher your emotions, tones, and what you actually mean- be patient with him, he's going to misunderstand a lot!

He's a bit of an introvert himself mostly due to nervousness, you two probably wouldn't hang out in public a lot. Tails prefers sharing interests and hobbies at home though, so that's fine with him!

He would be pretty helpful with teaching social skills, and would even offer to practice along with you! He needs to learn as well anyway, so may as well do it with a friend.

Tails would teach you how to be comfortable with yourself if you're insecure about your physical appearance. He found the courage to be comfortable with his, helping someone else with that problem is no big deal to him!

He would do everything he can to comfort you if insults get to you. He's not great at saying the right things or trying to help, but he is trying and that's what counts! Sometimes, hugging a fluffy fox is all you need.

Tails would defend you from insults as well, though he would do so in a more civilized manner than Sonic or Knuckles. He wouldn't insult or try to fight the person, just say that whatever insults they throw at you aren't true, and they should learn to respect people more and not judge based on appearance.

Overall, very helpful and sweet- you two fit together so well it's hard to imagine yourself not being friends!

I'm sorry, this knucklehead would think you're trying to start a fight with the way you're looking at him. This echidna isn't trusting unless you're manipulating him, or you prove you're trustworthy.

He would try to approach you and ask if you want to fight in an aggressive way- probably leaving you panicking and desperately trying to get out of this situation-

However, once he realizes you, in fact, just look scary and do NOT want to fight, he would calm down and try to understand the situation better

Knuckles would apologize and be rather embarrassed by his actions, and wouldn't leave you alone until you took his apology- he's a very honorable echidna, and would probably take you to get ice cream as an apology. He heard from Sonic that everyone likes ice cream! (Sorry if you have a sensitive mouth like me, you're not getting out of it!)

After that really rocky start, he would try to know you better, Knuckles also looks rather intimidating and is honestly relieved to find someone else in the same situation as him

More on "in the same situation"- no social skills buddies! This isolated echidna has trouble expressing his emotions well too and would be 0 help with social skills.

Look out here come the two intimidating buddies-

On the plus side, now you're not the only one embarrassing yourself in public, you have a friend to share your misery with!

Knuckles would take a *lot* of things you say the wrong way with your lack of emotion, and it's more of a hassle to clear up anything with Knuckles than you might think- don't hate him for it though, he's just trying to be helpful and showing that he cares for his friend!

He's the kind of "I take 0 bullshit" guy. Any insults result in a fight you have to break up, and Knuckles would eat his own arm if he ever insulted your physical appearance.

Knuckles is not very good with comforting either, he has a lot of bottled-up emotions himself. Not much help physically or verbally, but he'll still be there for you!

Overall, a very endearing friend, but a friend in the same boat. Intimidating on the outside- a great friend on the inside!

The Dark Prince: Chapter Four: Believe In Him

"So you what you are saying is that you came from the future because something happened in our time that causes your future's destruction?"

"Yes! That's exactly what I am saying!"

Amy and Shadow looked at each other and then at the white boy in front of them. Excitement on his to eyes to finally have found someone who took interest in his mission.

"Sorry to inform you boy, but you are a few days too late," Shadow confirmed.

"What do mean?"

"G.U.N's Commander was found dead a few days ago. I was the one who found him."

"No, that's not possible. The Phamton Ruby sent me here on a specific time in which I can stop the tragedy. If he was dead, I would have been sent back to another time to try again...are you sure he is dead?"

"Are you calling me a liar?"

Amy felt Shadow's anger raise up as she found his voice more annoyed than usual. "Well, have you thought that maybe the dead of G.U.N's Commander is not really the cause of your future' destruction?", Amy jumped into the middle of the two boys to prevent anything else from happening.

"Well...it could be a possibility." Silver looked into the flames in front of him. Fire, the thing that reminded him the most about his future. Destruction, annihilation, fear. But this place wasn't like anything that reminded him of that.

"Silver...are you alright?"

"Yes... it's just that, this place is so quiet. It's been a long time."

"What happens in the future? , if I may ask."

"Everything was going well until a weird diseased began to spread. It was spread by touch, and whoever had it would become kinda like a zombie. They would only follow orders from the Superior."

"The Superior?" Shadow asked this time as he calmed down.

"Yes, he controls everyone but nobody knows how he or she looks like. He wears a mask whenever he shows up to do his "Public Speeches." Silver looked up to the stars above him and he wonders when was the last time he had seen a clear sky.

"How come you are the only one here then?"

"The Rebellion* of the future decided I was the best candidate to travel back in time... I am their last hope."

Shadow stood up from his place and walked around Silver's space. Silver knew what he was doing and so Amy. He was inspecting him as if to try and see if he was worthy.

"Really? You were their last hope?"

"You don't know what I am cable of", Silver reply as he stood up, he had gone through a lot of things and he wasn't gonna let anybody doubt him of his capabilities.

"One on one... just you and me on a fair fight."

Amy knew that Shadow wasn't the type to pick up fights just because. That was more like a thing Sonic would do but she knew that you can learn a lot from a person just by fighting with them. Shadow didn't want to know how strong he was, but if he was worthy of his trust.

Silver took a moment to look at Shadow, up and down and he just sighed as he went back to his seat next to Amy. "Sorry I don't fight with old people."

Shadow was ready to smack that kid on the head right then and there. But Amy's sudden comment interrupted his action.

"Oh, well technically Shadow is more 50 years old!"

"Amy!"

"That explains why he is so grumpy."

"I was time frozen! I didn't develop-mentally nor physically! I am still young!"

Amy has never seen Shadow fume so bad as to this moment. And to be honest it was actually kinda funny.

"That explains why you are so short then."

Ouch, that hurt.

Silver had won Amy's respect. She had to admit that he was pretty optimistic for someone whose future was destroyed. It must be horrible to live in a future where you see your friends being zombified and can't do anything about it.

Wait a second.

"Hey Silver...did the ones who have a diseased in your future... did they looked, I don't know... kinda metallic for you?" Amy interrupted the boys. Silver took a moment to look at her. "Yes... how did you know that?"

Click.

"Years ago, during the time of the Resistance, Dr. Eggman created a biological weapon. It was a disease that just by contact with it, the subject would be "zombified" on the moment. Their most stand out characteristic was their metallic fur."

"That's probably it then! I just have to find it the substance and destroy it!" Silver said with relieve in his voice as his course of the route was finally taken the right place.

"It's not as easy as that." Amy began. "We tried everything to destroy it, but nothing worked. We couldn't even find an antidote. So we decided to hide all the substance we found in a remote place. Somewhere no one knows about but...Tails."

"Tails? That fox boy?." Shadow said but he turned around to face a bush. He could swear he had heard something coming.

"Wait a moment. Tails? Fox? You are not talking about Tails Miles Prower right?" Silver looked at Amy then at Shadow who was still looking toward the woods.

"Yes, that one."

"I can't believe it, he is a legend! I would like to meet him very much!" Silver grabbed Amy's hand as to beg her, he looked like a small child which Amy found extremely cute.

"So as to right now, we should look for Tails and ask him where the substance is. I am almost sure that whoever wants to find it, is also somehow invoked with the death of the Commander, Amy."

"Wait, Amy?-" Silver wanted to continue but was terribly interrupted by an explosion on their bonfire.

Just like that, the three hedgehogs were surrounded by more than 15 G.U.N agents, all ready to take them out. Shadow was sure that he could recognize most of them if it wasn't that everyone was wearing something to cover their faces. Shadow was never really found to do that. All though if his supervisors would ask him to, due to safety reasons, he always denies it. But right now it wasn't the time to think about the past. If they decided to become his enemy, then he will fight like he always has.

Silver noticed how Amy made a hammer appeared out of thin air and he almost lost it. The inner fanboy in him took over.

"YOU ARE THAT AMY ROSE? YOU ARE THE LEADER OF LEADERS? GREAT HAMMER HOLDER AND EVIL SLAYER?! YOU ARE THE ONLY WHO WE ACTUALLY HAVE HISTORY RECORDS OF!"

And that when everyone attack.

"Wow the future really does like to blow out everything out of portions" that's what Amy wanted to say but was more worried about the G.U.N who was in front of him.

And then he wasn't.

He had flown out of the scene, landing on a three. Amy turned around to find Silver hold three soldiers on the air.

"WHAT KIND OF POWER IS THAT, ARE YOU CRAZY? PUT THEM DOWN!" Amy screamed at him as she rubbed towards him.

"Yes man!" Silver saluted Amy in a militia manner and as he did, he left all three soldiers land on each other, hurting themselves more than their target.

"We got no time for this!" Shadow grabbed Amy and picked her up. "Follow me!" He said to Silver and in a flash, Shadow was out of sight to him.

"WAIT I AM NOT AS FAST!!!" Silver used his psychokinesis on him to try and fly faster and although he could spot a black figure in the distance, it was still really hard to keep up, especially during night time.

If there was one thing Silver hated the most, was to be left behind.

"AAAHHHHH, FUC-"

Now what? They had ended up in somewhere that Shadow knew about. They had been running all night, for Shadow it wasn't a problem but he was starting to get worried as he hasn't seen any white figure following from behind. He stopped for a little to let Amy stretch her legs as well.

"Where are we heading to now?". Amy asked as she stretched.

"Pavlopetri. G.U.N's elite Mechanics team resides there. No doubt that fox boy is there."

Shadow then felt a presence coming. "Talking about boys." He turned around and there he was, Silver giving his last push to keep up with the black hedgehog.

"Don't ever. Do that. AGAIN." Silver threaten as he landed on his knees, he would kill for a cup of water and some food right now.

"If you can't keep up, then don't tag along. Don't worry we will save your future." Shadow walked away as he kept an eye on Amy who was helping Shadow to get up.

"No! I must do it myself!"

Silver stood by himself, refusing Amy's aid. Shadow had to admit that his boy reminded him of someone. He sighed, "We are 30 minutes away from Pavlopetri. If you still want the hero's job well...it waits for you over there."

Pavlopetri was one of the biggest city in Mobius. With more than 7 million in population, it was no wonder why G.U.N had decided to put one of their biggest team in the city. It was going to hard to get into the tower and the three hedgehogs knew that. Before going into the city they needed to make a plan. However, the best they could at the moment was to sit down on the outskirts of the city.

"I am going in," Shadow said as he stood up from the grass. The strong wind coming their way.

"But Shadow-"

"I am the only who knows how their system works. I am the best spy G.U.N has ever had. I am sure I can a couple of minutes to talk to Tails."

"But I want to meet him!", Silver whined. "Besides we are a team! We have to stick together."

"I run better solo." Shadow turned around and looked at Silver. At this point, Shadow wasn't playing any games.

"Well, I won't stay here and do nothing! I am coming with you whether you like it or not!" Silver stood up and smiled at Shadow, but what he got instead was a dark look.

"If complications happen, I might not be able to take care of you."

"I can take care of myself."

"I had many trained agents tell me those same words...must of them are dead now." Shadow looked at Silver's disappointed face and continued. "Your time to shine would come, don't pressure it."

"Its alright Silver, you can stay with me! Actually, I think I have an idea on how to keep us busy while Shadow is gone!", Amy said as she comforted him.

"So," Silver looked at Shadow one more time, "I have to stay and take care of Amy, uh?"

"No," Shadow gave him an empathetic look. "Amy is gonna stay here and take care of you."

"Wait, what?"

"Don't misunderstand the situation kid. I am not taking Amy with me because she is staying to take care of you."

Silver thought that that was more like it. Even if there was no clear record of what happened 200 years ago, the orphanage and the friends he made there would always talk about the Resistance Heros. Amy Rose, Resistance Captain, one the strongest. Rumors have it that her hammer is so powerful that her enemies would fear for their eyes whenever they encountered her. Of course, there were others like Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails Miles Prower, Knuckles the Edquina and Shadow the Hedgehog who later on would become the-

"Anyways, I should get going. I'll ask for information and leave as soon as I can. If I don't come back in two hours, then leave this place as soon as you can. Look for Rouge or Omega."

This time, Shadow looked at Amy. Wind blowing on through her quills, the lights of the city shining on her head. "Will you wait for me?"

"Always."

Shadow smiled and was about to take in for a run but stopped as soon as he felt Amy grabbed onto his arm. "Thank you, Mr. Angry."

"Don't thank me yet, Mrs. Angry.", Shadow smirked, and gently removed his arm out of her grasp.

"Um... am I interrupting something.?"

It had been ten minutes and Silver and Amy were only appreciating the fact that Shadow had left. "Well, I think we should start looking for some provisions, or something." Silver turned around and began to look at his surroundings.

"No, we are gonna do something better," Amy said.

"What do mean?"

"We are stealing a Chaos Emerald."

"Didn't your friend said to stay on the outskirts of the city?"

"If we get this Chaos Emerald, then it will be easier to travel around and for us to defend ourselves." Amy and Silver were currently on the air conducts of a top security area. Last time Amy checked, all seven Chaos Emeralds were placed in different locations around the world. One of them and the only one she knew its whereabouts was the green emerald that lied securely on the northern outskirts of the city of Pavlopetri. How did she know? During the time period of the war with Eggman when Sonic was presumed dead, Amy decided to embark on a solo adventure to find the Chaos Emeralds to help revive Sonic somehow. She found three and after the war, she gave them to G.U.N. to take care of them. As a thank you, G.U.N. gave her the location of them.

"I can't believe that the Chaos Emeralds are real. I would only hear stories about them when I was a kid." Silver added.

"How come you came back to the future if not by the Chaos Emeralds?" Amy asked as she tried to talk as low as she could.

"We used something my people called the Phantom Ruby... We inserted that into an old time machine, we didn't it was going to work. But it did and here I am."

Amy noticed a bright light coming from the end of the air conduct and headed towards it.

"Anyways, I don't see the point in getting the Chaos Emerald. Legend says that only descendants of the Dark King are able to control the power of Chaos. And of course Sonic the Hedgehog but he is just a children story."

Alright, Amy had to stop Silver on his tracks. " Does the future ever say anything accurate about the past?"

"Don't blame me! Before I was born, there was a period of time in which the Superior declared all history records as illegal and they were all burned into ashes. Teachers aren't even allowed to teach history." Silver whispered in hopes that Amy would be able to hear his voice.

"That sounds horrible...who ruled before the Superior took over?" Amy asked as she looked back to him. She was right in front of the ventilation door but waited for the last guard to leave the room.

"We don't know for sure. But people say that out the first ruler was The Dark King and after that, his descendants took over. Some say that the Superior killed all of his descendants during the Great War. But honestly, the only thing my people have ever know is as 'Leader' is The Superior."

Amy could see how Silver's voice had changed on perspective. She felt sorry for the boy, she held his hand to try and give him some type of comfort. "We will fix this Silver. I promise."

"You know," Silver began. "My people have the hope that one day, one of the descendants of the Dark King will come back and claim his rightful place as the King and with that, bring a new era of peace. I used to believe that when I was a kid, but eventually I lost hope on that ever happening. Instead, I wanted to become a hero and take the matter into my own hands."

"We won't fail."

Amy then opened the ventilation door with a kick. and landed softly thanks to Silver's psychokinesis.

"Oh, but by the way, "Amy added quickly as she walked towards the Chaos Emerald. You were right, Sonic the Hedgehog can use the power of the Chaos Emeralds. But so, can Shadow."

"WAIT A SECOND, ARE YOU SAYING THAT SONIC AND SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG ARE ACTUALLY REAL?!"

With that, the alarms went on. Amy didn't think much, as she was fast to break the glass in which the Green Chaos Emerald was inside of with her hammer.

"You really need to learn how to control yourself, you know that!"

Silver had to admit that she was right. But he couldn't control it, hearing that his childhood heroes were alive and actually real was too much for him to handle. He smiled as they both began to climb up the air conduct again.

What a great time to be alive.

It was pretty easy to enter the base. He had to admit that the lasers in the air conduit system was a nice touch but he honestly expected more of the 'elite' Mechanic Team. Maybe he was just getting too good on this.

But one thing Shadow couldn't do was to know where everything was. He knocked down one the G.U.N agents and took his uniform to go by unseen. After all, there was a lot of security cameras and if one of the officers were to see a black hedgehog with red stripes on the building, well... it will be pretty much end game for him.

"This new project we are working on is killing me." Shadow heard an employee say as he walked onto the employees' dining room. Firstly, to get information about the whereabouts of the yellow fox and secondly, to get a small cup of coffee.

"Tell me about it. I don't know what Mr.Prower is thinking to do what that travel machine." Said the employee to his coworker who was eating as well.

Shadow grabbed a plastic cup from the dispenser and waited for his black coffee to come out of the machine.

"You gotta admire him tho, spending all day on the F-5 must be a pain in the butt. I mean come on, he is the Mechanic's Team main director! You have a nice office on F-7, use it!"

Sometimes Shadow thought that his job was way too easy.

The black coffee came out of the machine successfully and he didn't hesitate even a second to take a big gulp out of the still boiling liquid. Just how he liked it.

He was about to walk out of the room but the two friends caught his attention. "Hey, you!"

Shadow turned around, hoping that he was covered enough to not show any indication that he was Shadow the Hedgehog.

"This is the dining room for the Mechanic's Team members ONLY... Agents are on F-2"

Shadow took a moment to look at the black wolf in front of him. His attire similar to the one Tails was so known for. Googles, boots, a belt around his waist that contained every key possible and of course that dirty look.

"I am sorry I just got transferred, I'll leave now." Shadow turned around to face the door just to once again to be interrupted on the act. "Transfer from where?"

"Capital Mobius."

"You are from the Capital? Oh, have you met Shadow the Hedgehog? I heard he is located there, he was the top spy until he switched sides and helped that pink hedgehog kill G.U.N

He wanted to just nod and keep going on his day. However, it had been a while since he had heard any news about G.U.N's current stance. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a little bit of conversation about the topic.

"I saw him a couple of times, he was always busy so I never talked to him."

"Maybe it was better that way, I always thought he was too edgy. Now it turns out he is crazy too...Don't surprise me too much actually."

This was going to be a long talk.

And it was.

Strangely enough, Shadow had made two friends that day. And he learned two important things. G.U.N had ordered all intelligence theme to work on a new project, a Time Machine and experiment a new-found rock, which they did not know anything about.

Also that Amy and he were now topping the list of the most wanted criminals by G.U.N.

But he already knew that.

Shadow jumped into the elevator and pressed F-5. While the elevator was going up, he thought of the first thing he would say to Tails. He knew that they didn't have the best relationship.

Right now, the best bet he could get is that the Rabbit girl had told him about their situation already. With that, earn his trust enough so he tells Shadow the information he needed.

He stepped out of the elevator and walked himself around the hallway. He looked left to right, trying to spot behind the glass doors the famous two tail boy. Weirdly enough, there were no other workers passing by the hallway. Shadow didn't give too much thought about and kept looking. A few minutes passed and finally, he found what was looking for.

Tails was looking diligently on something that Shadow couldn't tell what it was. Moving back and forth, reading papers, screwing nails again and again just to unscrew them and start again. He didn't notice Shadow's presence until he made himself known.

"We need to talk."

"I already have enough trouble as it is... now you are asking me to give the location of a biological weapon that doesn't exist?"

Tails closed with the key the door to the lab and went back to his seat, where he began writing again on a piece of paper.

"I know it's too much to ask, but you have to believe me when I say this is all for Amy." Shadow placed both of his hands down on the table, mask down to his chin to show that he was being serious about all of it.

"Your worst mistake has always been underestimating your enemy."

Tails then pointed at his ears and that when Shadow knew it. It was already odd enough that they didn't have security cameras around the room nor the halls, but one thing they had for sure was mini microphones, hidden in all over the building probably.

"I think I know how far I can go." Shadow tried playing it cool, as he saw Tails passing down the paper he was previously writing on before. A clear note was written on it:

"I pressed the button that's under the table to call G.U.N agents to come to this floor already. You have less than 2 minutes to get out. Sorry that I am not able to help you directly, but they have Cream, and I must finish this time machine as soon as possible so they can release her. If you really with Amy then tell her this:

"There's nothing we can do but watch"

Shadow looked up to Tails to let him known that he had understood. He folded the paper and made his personal mission to deliver it to Amy as soon as possible.

The only thing now was to get out of that place as soon as possible.

Piece of cake.

Shadow looked around and panicked as he didn't see a clue of Amy and Silver. Just where were they? He was close to starting screaming their names but soon approaching footsteps followed.

"Shadow! You are back!"

Amy run towards him and wanted to hug him but decided that right now it wasn't the time. They were being followed by G.U.N for stealing the Chaos Emerald and she still didn't know how to tell Shadow without him getting angry.

"Tails gave me this, he said you would know by reading this."

He handed over the letter to Amy and he gave a look to Silver. Who shakes nervously at the sight of him staring.

"I can't believe it! They have Cream!."

"We have to hurry up and decider who's behind all of this if you want her free. So remember, what did the fox boy meant by "There's nothing we can do but watch."

Amy handed over the paper to Silver who began reading while Amy was in deep thought. It was one of these days that he wished he had paid attention to ancient literature. Although he could understand Amy and her black friend, the writing system and grammar were a bit different from the one in the future. He thankfully could understand the message within.

"I got it!"

Silver and Shadow turned to face Amy as they waited for an answer.

"Tails told me that the first time I saw him after Sonic 'died'. It must be there somewhere."

"Where?"

"Well I don't remember exactly, it's been a long time but we have the Chaos Emerald! That should work right?"

"You have what?" Shadow said surprised.

"I'll explain later, we have to leave. I'll think of the place on my mind, Shadow you conduct the Chaos Control."

Amy could have sworn that she heard Silver's neck break in two at how hard he looked at Shadow.

"WAIT! HE'S THE SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG?"

"All right, everyone grab into me," Shadow said as Amy handed him the green Chaos Emerald. Amy held his hand and Silver's as well.

"ARE YOU JUST TWO GOING TO IGNORE ME?"

"Chaos Control!"

The place was dusty and rusty, just liked Amy remember but older. The three hedgehogs successfully tele-transported to the place Amy was thinking of.

"This was Tails' first laboratory after we thought Sonic was dead, I came here to see how he was doing. Eggman had begun his attack on us and Tails just told me "There's nothing we can do but watch."

Shadow walked towards the big containers. And saw them carefully being stored and labeled as "extremely dangerous."

"So you began the resistance?" Silver asked still admiring the pink hedgehog. "Well, me and a red echidna I know."

"I found it, track Communication system, I'll be waiting."

Amy and Silver looked at each other then at Shadow, confused.

"Shadow, to who are you talking to?"

Amy's voice began to break, she didn't want to believe what her eyes were seeing.

"I think it is obvious enough...Chaos Control!"

Amy and Silver had lost track of time. The last thing they can remember was being knocked out by Shadow's Chaos Control.

Amy saw blurry at first, and let a few seconds pass to let her eyes adjust to the present darkness. Everything was just like before, but Shadow who was looking at the now tied up couple in front of them.

"So everything was a lie?"

Amy turned her head to look at Shadow, still not believing that the black hedgehog had indeed betrayed her.

"G.U.N needed the location of this forgotten biological weapon. We were aware that Tails was the only one who had that information, but we couldn't falsely accuse a G.U.N member of good reputation of murder. People would lose faith in us. So we trusted that in the right circumstances, Tails would eventually speak up about the location to someone he trusted...that's when you come into place."

Shadow then laid his back on the coldness of the metal wall, very close to the containers that had that very dangerous liquid inside of them.

"So, everything...from the very beginning...you wanting to help me, your kindness, everything was a lie?"

"I had a mission to complete, I am just doing my job."

"So, even the murder of the G.U.N's Commander...you planned everything,"

"Absolutely, all of that was fake...he is actually on his way over here to claim the containers."

Amy felt her throat going dry as all the tears were begging to let out. But right now it wasn't the time, she looked at Silver and checked if he had any serious injuries. He was breathing, his head down, at least the fact that he was alright made her feel calm.

"If you start crying, I'll end you."

Amy looked one more time at Shadow, she breathed and maybe right now it wasn't the perfect time to say it, but she did.

"I like you Shadow."

Shadow's eyes widen in surprise at the sudden confession. He waited for Amy to continue and she did.

"You kind acts, the way you worry about others, the way you make me feel when I am around you...All of that made me fall in love with you...but everything was a lie. And so, my love for you as well."

Shadow relaxed his hands and very confidently began to walk towards the pink hedgehog. For the first time in her life, Amy was afraid of Shadow.

He bent down in one knee and forcefully grabbed Amy's cheeks, making her look directly at his eyes. Her skin shivered by the contact, and Amy really thought that Shadow was about to steal a kiss from him. She closed her eyes waiting for it to happen...but it never did.

Instead, a dash of blue flew across the room. Amy could recognize those green eyes anywhere, and if looks could kill, Shadow would be dead by now.

There he was, the known world hero, the old blue friend...

Sonic the Hedgehog.
