Battle on Emerald Beach
The wind that rustled through his dreads felt so good.
Eyes closed with his stoic demeanor, he sat before that which he guarded. The Master Emerald shined its usual brilliance, while at the same time giving the echidna something to lay on. He said nothing, and only rested, as today was just another day. No noise came save for that of the passing by wind.
It would be boring had it not been so enjoyable.
Stretching out his arms, he let out a loud yawn. Another day... another day... Standing to his feet next, he began pondering what he should do next. Right now, he'd enjoy a little quest around Mushroom Hill, or probably, through the ruins of Marble Garden. Well, it was his island, he could go anywhere he pleased. A quick glide over here or there was all it took, and he knew all the secret passages, so it shouldn't take too long.
Throwing a few air jabs, he loosened his arms for the upcoming journey. Yeah, it was going to be grand. Then again, he heard Red Mountain was shaking lately...
With one step in front of the other, he started off for the great volcano top. But, he wasn't alone.
The air shifted in style and taste... someone was here with him. Purple eyes darted left and right, as they searched valiantly for the intruder. That's when he saw him. Leaning up against the Master Emerald, arms crossed.
What was this? A nightmare? The being before him looked extremely similar to Shadow. In fact, it looked like Shadow had fused himself with Metal Sonic. The mechanical being was similar in height and stature with Shadow, with the quills in the same way. But it lacked fur, as every inch of its body was mechanical, being silver in color. To add to that, the red streaks that were on Shadow, were blue on this creäture. The white of the eyes were black, just like Metal Sonic, its eyes were ember lights, just like Metal Sonic, and it lacked a mouth, just like Metal Sonic. But it had one thing different from Metal Sonic. Its left arm had been fused with what appeared to be some otherworldly gun. It was flat, but had two-gun barrels sticking out from it.
"What the!?" Knuckles said, surprised by the imposter.
The false Shadow looked at him with its cold merciless eyes. Uncrossing its arms, it started to make its way toward Knuckles. The echidna, feeling threatened, swiftly raised his arms.
"Hey!" he yelled, "Who are you!? And why do you look like Shadow!?"
The, Metal Shadow, must not have been in the mood for talking. Almost immediately, Metal Shadow lifted his gun, and fired. Like a machine gun, the twin barrels of its weapon fired, sending a hailstorm of bullets upon Knuckles' position. Being the ever so quick echidna he was, he leaped out-of-the-way with just enough time not to get rittled. The Metal Shadow wasn't finished though, and it continued to fire, its bullets following its opponent's every move. Knuckles ducked, leaped, juked left and right, all in an attempt to dodge the attack, before coming to a stop behind the Master Emerald Altar.
Knuckles shook his head. He wasn't expecting a fight today. Well, maybe from Rouge, but not from some mechanical version of Shadow. Where the hell did he come from anyway?
Suddenly, he felt a powerful strike streak across his jaw. Knuckles fell back, and landed with a crushing blow to the ground. Shaking his head, he glared up. The being before him, looked just like the Metal Shadow from before. The only difference was the colors of its streaks, and the weapon on its arms. Unlike Metal Shadow, this mechanical clone had green streaks, and a gun on the arm reminiscent of a rocket launcher.
Stepping forward with hands on its hips, it gazed dementedly toward Knuckles.
"Great," the echidna said, getting up, "there's two of them..."
The green Metal Shadow aimed forward its gun, and fired. Just as believed it fired a compact rocket, one that set the ground ablaze once it landed down. Knuckles leaped out-of-the-way in time to spare himself pain though. Once again raising his dukes, he glared to the green Metal Shadow. Like a monster, it stepped through the flames, as if they were nothing. Suddenly, bullets rang out from the first Metal Shadow, sending Knuckles running for cover. The blue Metal Shadow leaped beside its partner, and slowly started walking toward the echidna. Knuckles laid behind a fallen pillar and started to formulate a plan.
"Okay," he said, smiling, "guess its going to be a throw down!"
With extreme speeds, he leaped over his cover. But, when his purple eyes looked left and right, he saw nothing. Where did those Metal Shadow's go? Suddenly a powerful kick crossed his side. Stepping back from the strike, Knuckles shook in pain. Then, this time from behind, he felt another attack jab its way into his spine. Growling in pain, Knuckles countered with an attack, only to hit nothing. Where were they coming from, and where did they go? These androids were fast! He needed to stop them, and quick.
"That's it!" he yelled, "You want a fight! I'll give you a beat down!"
Raising his fist, the echidna delivered an earth shattering punch to the ground. A shockwave traveled through the ground, causing both Metal Shadow's to appear from their quick speeds. Taken off guard by Knuckles attack, they had little time to dodge his oncoming flurry of fists.
The Master Emerald guardian struck the green Metal Shadow first, with a series of powerful punches. By the time the blue Metal Shadow recoiled from the attack, he had little time to dodge Knuckles. Unlike his green counter part, the blue Metal Shadow was struck by an explosive fist to the stomach. The strike was so strong, it sent the blue Metal Shadow flying away. It crashed into a pillar with so much force, it crushed the aged rock structure. The attack was so great, Knuckles was sure his foe was gone. The green one wasn't though.
In a blinding flash of light, the green Metal Shadow grabbed Knuckles in a full nelson. Knuckles looked at him and started to shake wildly in an attempt to break free. His muscles tightening, he was prepared to break free, but a sudden fist to his face stopped him. Knuckles looked forward and saw the blue Metal Shadow from before. It raised its gun, and struck Knuckles against the face. The blow would have surely crushed any normal being, but Knuckles is no normal being.
Shaking wildly, Knuckles lifted the green Metal Shadow off of its feet, turned him around, and threw him into his ally. Both fake robots crashed into the ground with a thud, as the echidna stood triumphant. For now, anyway...
Lifting his fist, he brought it down for another blow of pain. Before his attack could connect though, the two Metal Shadow's vanished. Head spinning around, the echidna searched for his foes, but they were gone. But they weren't, he knew better.
"Where are you!?" he yelled, "Show yourself you cowards!"
They must have heard him.
Almost immediately, the green Metal Shadow appeared. It aimed its rocket toward Knuckles, and fired. As the compact missile flew toward Knuckles he prepared to leap away. But, in the middle of the air, the rocket exploded. A sticky gooey substance flew out, and covered Knuckles from head to toe. His head jerked around, and he started to struggle, but it was all for not. He was stuck.
In a silver flash, the blue Metal Shadow appeared. Raising its gun hand once more, it brought it down with a crushing blow against Knuckles' head. And all that remained was silence.
In the sticky gloop, Knuckles fell back, eyes closed. No more battling.
The Metal Shadow's looked upon him, their robotic eyes scanning his vitals. His heart rate had slowed, but he was alive. Looking away, they shifted their attention to the Master Emerald.
"Good job, Metal Shadows!" a certain voice rang, "That annoying echidna is out! Procure the Master Emerald, and return to the Egg Carrier!"
Both robot's heads bobbed up and down with a nod. Slowly, the green Metal Shadow made its way toward the Master Emerald, the blue Metal Shadow remained behind. Aiming its gun toward Knuckles, it produced a red laser to appear. Instead of silencing the echidna though, it instead freed him from his sticky bonds. As the green Metal Shadow grabbed the Master Emerald from its altar, the blue Metal Shadow grabbed Knuckles. Their eyes moved skyward, and flying above, Dr. Robotnik's massive Egg Carrier. That's when they said their first words.
"Chaos Control..."
And, then they disappeared.
...
Shadow's cold ruby eyes gazed emotionlessly toward everyone else. There was silence in Tails' home as he delivered his cryptic message. As he just waited for their eventual questions, he looked away, eyes into the shadows. Boy... did it give him the creeps...
"What kind of danger?" Cream asked first, as her grip grew over Cheese.
"The kind that entails a certain Dr." he answered.
A loud groan echoed over the group, as they all became annoyed.
"Oh no, not Eggman!" Amy said.
"He just doesn't quit!" Tails said.
"Yeah... not now, not ever..." Sonic answered.
"I can't believe you ruined my date with Sonic over Eggman, Shadow!" Amy cried.
"This is different!" he said, shooting her a glare, so strong she froze up.
"It is," Sonic questioned, "and how?"
"The Dr... he's... different this time..."
"He's always different," Sonic said, walking up, "that doesn't exactly make him dangerous. What is he planning today? Hm? Another harebrained scheme to take over some country to build the Eggman Empire? Or, is there something else?"
"Dr. Robotnik laid a trap." Hope suddenly said.
Everyone's eyes immediately locked to her. Wilting a bit, she gained a blush from embarrassment. She was never the kind of person to talk to a group of others, unless that group happened to be her fellow G.U.N. agents.
"Say," Sonic said, moving to her, "I can't say we've met before... who are you?"
Hope crossed her arms, showing a defensive stance. Nevertheless, she would tell him.
"I'm Hope Kintobor," she answered, "Shadow's... ally, from G.U.N."
"So you're a G.U.N. agent?" Tails said, "Makes sense, since you're with Shadow, but... where's Omega and Rouge?"
"I asked the same thing!" Cream cried, "Where is Miss Rouge and Mr. Omega?"
Once more, their eyes shifted away, this time to Shadow. His face wasn't seen by them, as he was looking away. And of course, Sonic was the first to speak.
"Hey, Shadow," he said, his voice near comforting, "where is Rouge and Omega?"
"Dr. Robotnik kidnapped them," Hope said, "that was the trap he laid out..." they looked to her, "He apparently laid a trap out for you, but... we sprung it, by accident. Dr. Robotnik, he... kidnapped Rouge and Omega aboard the Egg Carrier, and they... went away..."
"Away, where?" Tails asked.
"We don't know," Shadow answered, "that's why we came to you. If the trap was made for you, we were sure he would try to attack you all again. Once he did, we would attack him, and rescue our allies."
"So you're using us as bait?" Amy said, catching on.
"You can say that," Shadow said with raised shoulders, "but I prefer the term, fodder..."
"What did you say!?" she said, withdrawing her coveted hammer.
But Sonic raised his hand. Looking to Shadow, he laid his hands on his hips and said,
"So when do you think old Eggbut will attack?"
"Whenever he pleases," Shadow answered, "which means, soon..."
"Well," Sonic grew a grin, "I've defeated him one hundred times before, one hundred and one more time, can't hurt."
"Let's pray your words hold meaning..." Shadow answered, "C'mon Hope..."
"Wait, where are we going?" She asked.
"The Dr. doesn't know we are here, let's just wait..."
Hope froze up though. Just alone, with him, for a little while. What... what about their kiss? Will he bring it up while they wait, or will he ignore it like he had been doing? She both wanted to know, and didn't want to know. It was eating her up inside.
"Hope," he said, looking at her, "you dazed off again... hurry up..."
Nodding, she stepped forward toward him. But, before they left, she gave a friendly wave toward everyone else. And then, the door shut tight.
Silence...
"I don't like her." Amy said, arms crossed.
"Is it because of the date again?" Sonic questioned with a shaking head.
"No! I just don't like her... she reminds me of Rouge... with those... clothes..."
"How about you Tails? What do you think of Shadow's friend?"
But the fox was in deep thought. Hope... Kintobor... that last name weirded him out. Of course his friends didn't think about it, but he did. Kintobor... Kintobor... he needed some paper...
"Tails?" Cream squeaked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah Cream," he answered, "just give me a second..."
Tails spinning around, he flew off down the hall he came from. Now in his lab, he quickly found himself a piece of paper and pencil. Taking it to the paper, he started writing.
Hope Kintobor... Kintobor... Kintobor...
K-I-N-T-O-B-O-R...
His eyes widened. That was weird, the words suddenly became familiar.
K-I-N-T-O-B-O-R
He shook his head. No, no, this seemed way too familiar.
K-I-N-T-O-B-O-R
He leaned back, and his hands, they started moving on their own.
Robotnik...
No, no, no! This had to be a joke? Hope Robotnik? No, he must have spelled the name wrong, there was no way that blonde teen was related to Robotnik. He was jumping to conclusions, he had to be. But... it fit in so well... and now that he paid attention to it... she looked very similar to...
Maria...
"Tails!" Sonic said dashing down, "Everything okay?"
"Yeah," he answered, "I was just... checking something out..."
"Well, let's get up there, I'm pretty sure Eggbut will attack soon..."
"I'm coming!"
Dashing up the stairs, Sonic disappeared. But Tails remained, for a little while, at least. Kintobor... Robotnik...
He was going to keep this a secret, for now. Obviously, he was working to hard. This was just his mind playing tricks on him.
...
The crashing waves of Emerald Beach was such a pretty sight. Hope had little choice but to marvel at them. With the red and orange skies above, and the shimmering blue and white crash of waves below, there was little anyone could do but go, 'wow'. But Shadow didn't. Though his ruby eyes were locked onto the oncoming seas, he showed no emotion. Hope hated that. She sat beside him, her arms around her knees, as she pondered what was going on through his mind. She wanted to know, but she was too scared to ask. But she needed to. She needed to know if that kiss happened or not. If it were real, or if it were all in her imagination.
"... Shadow?" she whispered.
"Why?" he asked, though he didn't look at her.
His words were so sudden, she nearly missed them, but the power was all the same. She locked up.
"Hope?" he questioned.
"Why... what?" she asked back.
"Why did you do what you did?" he said, a bit forcefully.
So... the kiss did happen. She felt sick to her stomach. If only she could disappear, like Shadow could do. She would run away, and give herself time to think. Just not now...
But it was now... Now... or never...
"I don't know why." she answered, "Shadow... I... I..."
"It was... just the spur of the moment." he said, his voice a question.
"A what?"
"The spur of the moment... You kissed me because I saved you... Rouge has done it a lot..."
"She... has?"
"Well, never on the lips," he murmured, "always on the cheek... but it was always in thanks..." he looked to her, "that's why you kissed me... as a way of thanks?"
No! That wasn't the reason why she kissed him! She... she... she liked him... maybe even... l-o-v-e-d... him... maybe... She needed to tell him now. Now, or never. This was the prefect time.
"Shadow, I-"
The earth started rumbling. The pebbles and sands on the beach started to shake and shake, up and down. The waves grew in intensity, and started to crash down with great power and rage. Before Hope knew it, she was in Shadow's arms. After a quick leap, they were on the beach's summit, safely away from the crashing waves.
"I think that's my calling card." Shadow said to her.
Ruby eyes locking back to the beach, he dashed off, leaving her alone.
"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" Hope yelled, saying the first explicit she can, remember, ever saying.
"I think this is our calling card." Sonic said, smiling behind her, "Hey Tails, can you take Hope back with you back to your lab? I think things about to heat up."
Hope looked around. Amy, Tails, and Cream were behind her.
"Hey!" Hope said, "I can take care of myself!"
"Sure..."
Far out in the ocean, a great mechanical behemoth appeared. It was silver and red, with tinges of colbat in it.
"Emerald Beach!" a certain voice called, "I beckon to you! Prepare to meet my mighteous sea creation yet! The EGGMARINE!"
Why was he being so loud and rambunctious? Of course... he was trying to call out Sonic...
Mechanical flaps on the top half of the Eggmarine opened up. From these flaps, a series of high-flying rockets. All of them, with Eggman's insidious insignia. The rockets flew skyward, before pinpointing their deadly a trajectory onto the defenseless town. Shadow counted each one. 44... a lot, but too little... for him, anyway.
Closing his eyes, he quickly entered his Chaos Boost mood. With a red aura flowing around him Shadow leaped up. He was like a shimmering red star in the sky. Streaking around with the speeds of a thunder bolt, he began striking rocket after rocket after rocket. They exploded in the air with great power, showing it could have easily decimated the small town.
Free falling now, Shadow aimed his way toward another rocket. Throwing forth a Chaos Javelin, it exploded before him. But he didn't predict how close the explosion would be. The force of the blast knocked him away, and he crashed into the ocean below. That mistake could cost lives, he needed to hurry up. Jumping back out of the ocean, he started off for another rocket. But before he could make his way to it, a blue blur dashed by, striking it in midair. The rocket lost its aim, and flew directly into another rocket. Both blew up with a fantastic explosion.
"Learn to aim next time!" Sonic said as he fell through the air.
"Stop being so cocky!" Shadow said.
"Yeah, yeah..."
Spinning back into a ball, the blue hero began dashing around, striking each and every rocket that came his way. Shadow, on the other hand, focused on striking rockets down with his Chaos Spears. Together, they were a team of immeasurable power. The only thing that could stop them, was a force of equal or greater value.
The air was filled with the smoke and debris of destroyed rockets. Using his Air Shoes, Shadow flew through the air, while his hand held onto Sonic's. The Eggmarine had grown so quiet after the attack. That was odd. There had to be something more.
And there was more...
"Hey, Shadow," Sonic said, pointing forward, "do you see that?"
His ruby eyes trained forward. Two silver figures were standing on the Eggmarine's head. What were they?
Before he could assess this new information, the two figures disappeared. In a silver flash, one of them struck both Shadow and Sonic. The force was so great, in knocked the duo back down to Emerald Beach. They crashed into the sands with pain, before returning to their feet at break neck speeds.
"You two must have a death wish!" Robotnik's voice called, "You can defeat me!"
"We've done it before, we'll do it again!" Sonic barked back.
"Keep that cocky attitude, hedgehog!" Dr. Robotnik yelled, "It will be your downfall!"
Two silver streaks appeared on the sands, before stopping in front of Sonic and Shadow. Shadow's eyes widened, while a smirk appeared on Sonic's muzzle.
"Well, looky here," he remarked, "Metal Shadows!" he looked over to his dark counterpart, "Welcome to the family!"
Shadow would have punched him, but he was too intrigued by these figures before him. They looked just like him, from head to two. Instead of black fur, they had silver metallic skin. The streaks on their bodies were different too. One was orange, the other was red. Both of these Metal Shadow's had strange weapons sticking from their arms. The orange one had a wierd futuristic cannon, while the red one had a morphed machine gun of kinds.
"Stupid copies," Shadow said, "I thought the Dr. only had one."
"There's never, just one..." Sonic said, "In my lifetime, I've foughten three, count'em, three Metal Sonics!"
"It doesn't matter, they'll be dismantled soon enough."
"Ooooh! I call the red one! He reminds me of a certain, hedgehog I know..."
Shadow merely scoffed.
Slowly, the hedgehogs took battling positions. The Metal Shadows, however, remained motionless. For a while, the only noise in the air was of the crashing waves, and the stirring winds. Night had come so soon... Shadow hadn't even noticed it.
All around them, Egg Pawns and Gunbots fell, coming from the far off Eggmarine. They'd need to be dealt with... and soon.
"Get away from my town!" Amy yelled.
Though they didn't see her, they heard many mechanical clanks as her hammer struck against them. Good... Amy, Tails, Cream, and Hope would deal with the lower machines. That just left Sonic and Shadow to deal with the Metals. And yet, despite everything, they never moved.
This battle's about to explode!
FIGHT!
In a sudden flash, the combatants dashed at one another. Shadow's fist clashed with the fist of the orange Metal Shadow, while Sonic's foot struck up against the red Metal Shadow's gun. With great agility and finesse, the red Metal Shadow countered with its own back kick. The attack threw Sonic back, but didn't do much damage. In fact, it egged him own. Rolling into a ball, Sonic dashed back. His Spin Dash connected, and threw the red Metal Shadow back.
Meanwhile, Shadow was battling his orange counterpart. With each attack he threw, the metal copycat would deflect it. Withdrawing his pistol, Shadow quickly fired. His metal counterpart quickly dodged it via silver streaks. When he reformed, he was behind Shadow. The dark hedgehog quickly threw back a roundhouse kick, but the Metal Shadow blocked the kick. Shadow leaped back, yellow energy in hand, and threw forth a Chaos Spear. It glided through the air, and struck the orange Metal Shadow square in the chest. It knocked the fake hedgehog back, and sent it into the ground with a metal clank.
Sonic's fist clashed against the red Metal Shadow's face. He was so used to fighting robots, punching them did nothing to him. His blow hurt so bad, it sent the red Metal Shadow's eyes dazed. But the robot was quick to recoil. Aiming its gun, it fired a series of bullets upon Sonic. The blue hero leaped back, and started to dodge the bullets with a sort of sonic weave. To explain it, he was moving so fast, the bullets passed through him. The tactic caught the red Metal Shadow off guard. Sonic smirked, dashed forward, and once again spun dashed into the robot's chest. The attack knocked the red Metal Shadow onto its back. Sonic dashed up, rubbed his nose, and said,
"Ya'know, for a clone, you're nowhere as fast as the real thing!"
Oh hell no...
The red Metal Shadow's eyes gleamed, and he dashed forward, boosters erupting from its shoes. It tackled Sonic, lifted him up, and drove him down onto the ground.
Shadow's chop struck against the orange Metal Shadow's gun. When his silver doppelgänger tried to counter, he quickly lifted his foot and struck him in the chest. The orange Metal Shadow stepped back in pain, before grabbing ahold of its own cannon. Pressing a few buttons on it, it started firing out napalm blasts. When they connected with the ground, the sands ignited into flames. Since Shadow couldn't walk through flames, the robot took the time to fire a series of rockets at him. They glided through the fire, pinpointed onto Shadow's position, and exploded. But Shadow was safely in the air by this time, something his orange foe counted on. Leaping up, the orange Metal Shadow spun into a ball, and struck its foe. Shadow felt the pain course up his chest, but he wasn't finished so soon. Grabbing the Metal Shadow by the neck, he took the upper hand. Spinning in the air to gain momentum, he threw his fake into the ground, causing it to uproot great amounts of sand.
"Is that your best!" Shadow taunted, "You're a pathetic excuse for my fake!"
Through the sand, the orange Metal Shadow fired rockets. But Shadow was finished. Using his Chaos Boost mode, he deflected the attack like it was nothing. Instead, he pointed forth his hands, and started firing Chaos Javelins.
A series of explosions rittled the ground as the Chaos Javelins detonated against their foe. Anything under it would have been evaporated, but the Metal Shadow had a trick up its mechanical sleeve.
Once the dust settled, it revealed something awful to Shadow. It stood up from the carnage, with an orange aura around its body.
"So..." Shadow murmured to himself, "They know Chaos Boost too..."
Another explosive amount of energy echoed elsewhere. Shadow looked to it, and locked his eyes onto the red Metal Shadow Sonic was fighting. Its body was surrounded in a red aura.
"Wow!" Sonic said, fists raised, "This is new!"
"Sonic get out of here!" Shadow warned.
"Why would I do that!?" he yelled back.
His eyes looked back to his red foe. The aura around its body began expanding... Uh-oh...
"Chaos... BLAST!" the fake hedgehogs roared.
...
Hope sat in the lab as her eyes gazed around. Boy, this fox kid sure knew his stuff! After all of this was finished, they should trade notes. She stood alone in Tails' lab, after she was forced inside. Her eyes were moving left and right as she took in everything. The fighting outside... she could hear it... She hated it! She just wanted Shadow to come back so they could talk... about everything...
A great earthquake echoed in the ground, followed by a loud sound. What caused that? Oh... she prayed Shadow was okay... Moving around the room, she noticed a piece of paper. All of the papers she saw so far had so much information on it about nonsense. Tails was smart... but... wait, what was this?
Grabbing the paper she read it. On it, her name over and over again... What... was Tails doing? Then she read the last line.
Hope... Robotnik...
No! How did he find out! This had to have been some trick! No one knew... no one... Hope... Kintobor... that's her name... But... how did Tails figure it out? He was a genius, that was the only way.
Taking the paper, she tore it up. No one would know, no one...
"Hope?" Shadow's voice called.
"Shadow?" she called back.
Good, they needed to talk. Right now... the battle must have been over.
She heard his footsteps come down the hallway. Sooner or later...
"Shadow?"
He stepped out the hall... but it wasn't Shadow. He looked exactly like him, but there was one grave difference... the streaks that were red on Shadow, were gold on this being.
"Shadow Android..." Hope murmured.
"Ah, you remember me." Android Shadow said, stepping forward, "When was the last we met? Egg City, maybe?"
"What do you want!?"
"The Dr. needs your expertise, Hope." Android Shadow said.
He got closer.
"No! Get away!" she yelled.
"I don't want to hurt you, Hope." Android Shadow said, "So please, come with me..."
"Get away from me!"
He grabbed her.
"That's not an option..."
His grip grew and grew.
"LET GO!" she yelled.
He started glowing.
"Chaos Control..."
He whispered.
In a brilliant flash of light, they vanished.
Trivia Time!
I swear, I think I'm spoiling my followers and favoriters(?). I think I've been updating like everyday, but... whatever...
Any who, the Metal Shadows. In my eyes, Android Shadow, you know, the Shadow clone with golden streaks, in my imagination, he's like the perfect clone. The Metal Shadows, on the other hand, are different in every way. More like Metal Sonic, they are silent and deadly, created only for destruction. The Metal Shadows are those Shadow clones in Shadow the Hedgehog's two player. I used to play it all the time with my sister and cousin...
Oh well, that's enough for now, I think I'm going to go eat something...
By the by, did you catch the Capcom vs SNK reference? Its super blatant!
