Ask Stories: The Right Way
Ask Lucy Labrador
Shadow here. So Author, what do you have to say for yourself? It doesn't matter what you say, I'm going to put you through exactly what you did to me… and perhaps a little more. But remember, I won't hurt her, I'm not that cruel.
Shadow had tied both of Lucy's hands and feet together so that she couldn't run away. She was sitting on her bed, a worried look on her face. "Please don't hurt me Shadow… I didn't think…"
"What, didn't think I would find you?" Shadow snapped, waiting for the reviews to come through. "Anyway, I'm not going to hurt you… physically." he said sinisterly.
"What if my family get home and find me like this? They could be home any minute." the worried teen said.
"I can use chaos control to slow down time. After all, I have all of the chaos emeralds thanks to all of your reviewers… I could go on forever, by the time they're home I'll be long gone and they'll never believe anything you tell them."
Lucy gulped, shaking in fear. "So, how do I find the reviews on this thing?" Shadow said, standing at the desk which was right by the bed.
"Well, you need to go into internet explorer." Lucy started to explain. Shadow was clueless. "The big blue e on the screen!" she exclaimed, her Welsh (British) accent apparent as she got irritated.
"Ah… umm, what's Face book?" Shadow asked as it went to the homepage that had been set as the social network.
"That doesn't matter, just get off of there. Give it here!" Lucy exclaimed. Shadow freed her hands temporarily so that she could reach over and get Shadow to get where he wanted to go.
"Hmph… there are all of those questions that was sent to me… none for you yet… looks like we'll have to wait." Shadow said, folded his arms and began to wait.
"Shadow… please don't keep me here like this until I get a review… it could take hours." Lucy begged.
"If it takes hours then so be it." Shadow said.
"But… I can't wait hours…" Lucy said under her breath.
"Wait for what?" Shadow said, Lucy gave a squeak of fear, she didn't think he would hear.
"I need the toilet…" she said and blushed. A huge malicious smile crept upon Shadow's face,
"How the tables have turned." he said in a malevolent delight.
"I'm not kidding Shadow… I need it." she complained.
"So did I, many times throughout your stories… what is it? Do you find it funny, or do you just like to see me suffer in an unusual way?" Shadow hissed, getting up her in her face. There was no answer, just a look of shame and embarrassment. "Ahh… the first review…" he said. "Any last words before we begin? No turning back now."
The author shook her head nervously. "Chaos Control!" Shadow exclaimed, he went no where but neither did time. "We'll still receive reviews just because it's Fanfiction and I can." he said smugly. Shadow read over the review, giving a triumphant and malevolent laugh. "This is just precious." he said and read it out. "Dear Lucy,
I sent a box to you. I suggest you open it, and then continue reading this letter.
I bet you are angry right now. Anyway, I was a little suspicious. Inside, you found a metal cube. That cube restrains you from leaving the area until all letters have been answered and mailed. If you try to escape, you will be electrocuted with 100,000 volts of, not electricity, but harmful chaos energy that you can't absorb or drain in anyway. So, happy answering.
Here are some questions:
1. How was your experience of torturing Shadow?
2. I bet you learned a lesson from all this. And what is that exactly?
P.S. I made it rain 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 rings outside. Everyone, including the entire Sonic Team, is outside in the ring fest. You and Shadow go enjoy yourselves for that limited time being. This is the only time Lucy won't be restrained.
From FanOfGames16."
Lucy looked completely terrified and anxious. "Hmph… I guess now I can release you from these ropes." Shadow said and untied her, attaching the metal cube to her watch. "I've set it so that you can't leave this room."
Lucy crossed her legs and bit her lip. "Set it to the whole house so I can go please." she begged.
"No, time to answer some questions." Shadow said. "So, question one." he said, pointing to it one the screen.
"Good I suppose, while it lasted, while I was in control. I could make Shadow do anything, but since Shadow took my object of awesome power, I.e., my net book that I use for writing Fanfictions, I'm helpless for this short and strange interview… I would say that it was worth it." she sighed looking sad.
"You make me sick… making me suffer all of the time… you're possibly the worse than villain I've encountered."
"I'm not a villain, this is my hobby, writing. 'Once Upon a time Shadow was happy and had a fun time only to make his life become even better' isn't exactly a gripping read." Lucy said, sounding as if she was getting angry.
"Hmph… that's no excuse… moving on. Question 2." he said.
"A lesson? If you need to go, just go before you get kidnapped by vengeful fictional characters." she groaned. "Can we do that ring thing now… so I can get out of here?" she asked.
"I think I'll pass… let's see the next review." Shadow said and he refreshed the page to see many more reviews had arrived. "To: Lucy:
First of all, I just wanted to say, I called it.
So, how does it feel like being controlled by Shadow?
I totally called it,
~VGCats-Rocks."
"Called what? I don't understand…" she sounded confused. "This doesn't feel good at all. I suppose it's not too bad because it's Shadow…"
"Flattery won't work." Shadow said, looking down on her ominously.
"I hate this! When are we going to take a break? I need one soon." She whined.
"I must say… I'm enjoying this… thoroughly." Shadow said, looking at her evilly. Lucy gave a pleading and nervous look, still sitting on her bed, looking up at Shadow. "Next question.
Dear Lucy,
Do you like Mpreg?
Also do you think Silver is Shadows son?
From RALF."
"I don't mind Mpreg if it's Sonadow." Lucy said. Shadow gave a look of hatred, this made her feel nervous. "I've even put Mpreg in one of my stories. 'My Immortal: The Doom.'" she explained regardless of Shadow's death stare. "To answer the second question, no I don't think Silver is Shadow's son. If you remember, earlier on in the story, Shadow explained that Silver is an ancestor of Shadow… read 'What A Long Hard Life' and 'What A Long Hard Life: Bless' Story' to see my theory of where Silver came from and how he's related to Shadow and Amy."
"I'm tired of your advertisements to your other stories which are filled with my suffering." Shadow said viciously.
"Let me go to the toilet and maybe I'll stop." she tried to bargain.
"Ha, no way. I'm not falling for that. I want you to suffer Author… the same way you made me suffer." he said in a grim and sinister voice. "Next question!" Shadow announced. Lucy groaned, looking down at her knees, this would take a long time.
One hour later, they had gotten through many questions. Now Lucy was complaining about something else. "I'm hungry Shadow… you got to eat during your questions… I need something during mine." She complained.
"No… you're not getting any food… you can have a drink though." he teased.
"I don't think I can take any more water…" Lucy protested in a low voice.
"Oh come on… I'll be gone before it get's to the other side…" Shadow said and gave her a glass of water that came out of thin air, into his hand.
"Shadow… I have to say… you're not a good writer… objects don't just come out of nowhere." Lucy complained, cringing at the dreadfulness of his writing skills.
"Like you can do any better." Shadow said and gave the glass of water to her.
"Yeah, how about you actually go downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water." Lucy said irritably and drank some of the water.
"You're a fool, did you know that?" he said while she drank it.
"You haven't done anything to this, have you?" she said, worriedly.
"No… just taking into consideration how much you've been complaining, you're a fool to accept the water." Shadow said.
"I really don't care Shadow." she sighed. "You'll be gone by the time I gets worse, there aren't many more reviews."
"Sadly… maybe I should ask you some extra questions… to make this experience just a little more longer and uncomfortable." Shadow teased.
"I shouldn't have worn these jeans today." Lucy said under her breath, noticing that they were getting tight around her waist.
"Hmph." Shadow said with a smirk.
"Come on Shadow… I'll be two minutes, not even that!"
"No, you're staying here; it's time to answer the next few questions. There aren't many more but like I said… I can ask a few of my own to pass the time… I'm not letting you go any time soon."
There was a look of urgency on Lucy's face. "But Shadow… don't I remind you of Maria?" Lucy said, trying an escape plan.
"Not in any way." Shadow said smugly.
"Damn you…" she rasped, holding herself.
Shadow looked at the next review and smirked. "Now Lucy, why in the world did you do that to Shadow and Rouge for, along with later on Sonic? I mean, it was getting ridiculous.
How did you even get all of these letters turned from Digital Questions to paper and get it sent to his house? And to add to it, Why did you not 'delete' any of the questions that was going to give Shadow information? You handled this very amateurish.
To Shadow, if he's there, Good job, glad I was able to assist the Ultimate Life form, as you have been one of my Role Models. May your days be blessed. Same to you Rouge. Sonic...eh, I'm neutral with you. No blessings or curses to you.
Insane Leader."
Lucy sat there looking ashamed. "Umm… I didn't turn them from digital questions to paper… all of this happened through the power of Fanfiction. I was in control of everything that happened… until I let the reviewers in… I feel like such an idiot." she said in discomfort. "I didn't want to delete anything because I thought that it was unfair on the reviewer to just delete half of what they're saying from the story… I wanted it to be fair. Anything that wasn't a troll or overly ridiculous, was kept."
"You're more of a fool than I thought." Shadow said and turned back to the reviews while Lucy squirmed where she was sitting. "You're not going to have an accident, are you?" Shadow asked. She shook her head silently. "Good… moving on…
Dear Lucy
Kick Shadow's ass and show him girl power and that girls and women should not be messed with.
Bleach102."
Shadow gave a mocking laugh. "Let's see you try Lucy… you're nothing but a pathetic human, you can't hurt me." Shadow said, standing tall and proud. He then saw Lucy make a run for the door, it was only a small room, he only had to make one step before he could grab her. He dragged her over to the bed where her watch was. "Though you were going to be smart were you?" Shadow said while pushing towards the bed, keeping a hold of her arms. The watch was where Shadow had put the device, while Lucy wasn't wearing it she could escape.
She tried to get out of Shadow's grip but it was no use, he was too strong. "You're wasting your energy." Shadow said casually, as if keeping her in his hands was effortless. "Like you said earlier, your power is in your writing skills, stop it!" Shadow said and pushed her onto the bed.
Shadow took the cube off of the watch and clipped it onto the sleeve of her T shirt. "You won't be taking that off now, will you?" Shadow said confidently. "So… you're not going to be able to take the reviewer's request." he said to Lucy teasingly. "It's not because she's a girl but it's because she's human, all humans are weak compared to me." he directed to the reviewer.
Lucy held herself between the legs and bit her lip. "Such a shame… there are no more reviews…" Shadow sighed.
"I usually get more over night-" Lucy started but went quiet, her eyes widened. "Please don't make me wait that long!" she cried out.
"I won't. I'm going to leave it here-" Shadow started, Lucy looked delighted. "- for the fan's questions." Lucy groaned, Shadow was going to ask some of his own, but then she remembered something,
"You should refresh the page." she suggested. Shadow did that and one more review had arrived. "Hmm…" he smirked, looking at her. "To Lucy,
How come you were giving Shadow a hard time?
Plus, who's your favourite villain of the Sonic series?
Sincerely, Twilight."
"I said earlier… writing a story about Shadow being happy all of the time isn't a fascinating read. The angst genre is my strong point until lately I ran out of ideas and moved onto the comedy genre slightly. Shadow is my favourite character so I used him.
My favourite villain is Black Doom. I didn't like how SEGA just killed him off after he said in the game how he was so strong and was the 'most powerful being in the universe.' it didn't make sense, I brought him back in a few of my stories. To me he's the most badass villain in the Sonic series, Eggman is nothing compared to him. Mephiles comes as a close second."
Shadow was looking at Lucy with hatred again. "I think you deserve another drink." he said threateningly.
"That… won't be necessary…" she shook, crossing her legs tightly and groaning. "Can you end this now?"
"No, I want to know if you're going to do this to me again." Shadow said.
"You mean, am I going to write more? Yes, of course. I always get story ideas." Lucy said.
"I'll be back then…" Shadow said and released Lucy by taking the device off of her she got up to run but Shadow got in her way.
"Shadow, please… it's really desperate now." Lucy moaned, trying to get past him.
"Hmph… I'm leaving… but remember, write too much about me again, and I will return." Shadow said. "Chaos control!" he yelled, time continued and he disappeared leaving the author alone.
