Recently, Angelgust5 Weekly had an interview with Sonic and Shadow to find out how much of the Sonic the Hedgehog series of games were accurate to their lives. The interview went as follows:

Angelgust5: Thanks for sitting down with me for this.

Shadow: Anytime.

AG5: So how much of the series is accurate?

Sonic: To put it bluntly, it's about as accurate as the fact I could shove a doorknob up my nose without hurting myself…

AG5: Really?

Shadow: Well, first off, Sonic and I are brothers. We don't really fight or anything. No real sibling rivalry at all.

AG5: Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Sonic: He's the older one, by one year. I'm sixteen, he's seventeen. And tails is actually fifteen.

Shadow:Tails and Amy are together, and Amy's more intelligent and more like tails was in the game.

Sonic: Knuckles and Rouge are dating and working together, both archaeologists. Go figure, right? Knuckles does protect the master emerald, but there's never really been a problem with that.

Shadow: And Dr. Robotnik is nowhere near evil. He's rich, kind, and sort of a gaurdian for us. He keeps us in line, and we all live in his mansion.

AG5: And what about Maria? And Tikal?

Sonic: Maria only existed in the game. As for Tikal, well, she lives an town and… (Sonic nudged Shadow)

Shadow: Shut up, sonic.

AG5: well, it was a pleasure talking to you guys.

Sonic: No problem.

Shadow, Sonic, and company present…

The Real Life of Sonic And Shadow

Episode one: halloween havoc.

"This is it."sonic said. "The final fight." Said Shadow. They stood on either end of Dr. Robotnik's sutdy. "There can be only one winner, You realize." "One wrong move and it's over for you." "You Ready?" "Yep." Sonic Yelled, "Rock, Paper, scissors—damn! I guess we have to do your costume pick this year. What is it anyway?" "I go as Jimmy Page and you go as Jeff Beck. What were yours?" "Indiana Jones and James bond."

"BOO!"

"JESUS CHRIST!" Sonic screamed. "Oh, it's just you tails. What the hell are you supposed to be, and what's with all the blood?" "I'm going as Vlad Dracul, the Impaler. Have you guys seen Amy?" "Nope." Sonic and Shadow head into the attic to find stuff for their costumes. They found Amy dressed up as Trinity from the matrix. She had even dyed her hair black. She looked so hot in the leather sonic and shadow couldn't help but stare as she walked past the and down the stairs. After a few moments of shocked silence, the two got busy with their costumes. Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik was busy in the basement. He kept the massive amounts of candy he owned locked in a safe so that no one would steal it. he filled a couple crates with candy, and headed up to get ready for the first trick or treaters.

Soon everyone congregated in the dining room. Knuckles and rouge didn't have any costumes, but were going anyway. As they headed out, Robotnik said, "Just do me a favor and be back before midnight this year." They hit the first house. Tikal answered the door, dressed as an aztec princess, just like in sonic adventure. "hey friends," she said, "mind if I join you?" shadow spoke quickly and rather awkwardly. "sure, of course you can." "Okay. Here's the candy bowl. Let's divide it up evenly." They ran over to the next house. Big was sittingg on the porch. He gave them one piece of candy each and gave them all pencils. "Every freaking year. Stupid freaking pencils." Tails complained. After about 10 houses. They came up to the graveyard. "There's some good houses on the other side of the Cemetery. Let's cut through." Knuckles said. About halfway through, they came across some smashed gravestones. "That's odd." Said Tikal, "I was in here yesterday. These weren't smashed." Shadow said, "And look, there appear to be claw marks in the rock. And look at this! A trail… of blood…" They followed it up and over the hill where the dead oak stood, standing guard over every grave. At the base of the hill, they found a gory scene. Blood was splattered everywere. There were five bodies. One was missing its head, another's innards had been torn out. Two others had had their throats ripped out and the fifth-the fifth was still alive! He had propped himself up against a grave. He was bleeding from his chest, from a slash from some sort of vicious creature. Sonic ran over to him. "No need to help me," the victim moaned, "I already called an ambulance with my cell phone. I'll be fine." "Is there anything we can do?" "Find Dr. Linily. Tell him Irving gave you this, and that Project Gannon has been released. Tell him Vincent is still alive!" He gave Sonic a Record that he pulled out of a bag. "Now all of you get the Hell out of here! If that creature sees you here, he'll kill all of you and come back to finish me off! GO!" they got to the west gate of the Cemetery, where they had been heading to. They all decided that they would track down the man the Victim had referred to as Dr. Linily tomorrow. They went to about 15 houses when they saw the anbulance whiz by. At the 26th house, a tall thin man with long slick black hair and deep green eyes opened the door. He was wearing a long white lab coat, black jeans, and an olive green t-shirt. "let's see. What do we have here. You're tails, right? I want to go with Vlad Dracul for your costume. And Amy, you're supposed to be Trinity, I assume. Sonic is Jeff Beck, and Shadow is Jimmy Page, a Yardbirds theme, and tikal, you're an Aztec Princess, maybe?"He said. They all stared at him. "You all live up at Robotnik's. He's a close friend of mine. Well, in terms of treats, all I have are soup cans. Take them, but come back here after you're done, and I'll give you guys some candy." They took the soup cans and left. They managed to get in 60 houses in under two hours. (author's note: I believe that's world record) they came back to the man's house. He gave them each a bucketful of candy. As they were heading down the driveway, he yelled to them, "Tell Robotnik that Josef Linily says hi."

They all froze in their tracks. Amy stammered, "D-Dr. Linily?" "No one has called me that in five years." Sonic pulled out the record (for those of you who don't know what a record is, go ask someone who was alive before the eighties. They'll know.) that the victim had given him. "Irving told me to give this to you. He said to tell you, 'Project Gannon has been released. Tell him Vincent is still alive!'" "Joshua Irving said that? where is he? Is he okay?" "He was badly hurt, in the graveyard. He called an ambulance for himself." "I think that all of you best come inside, for things have been set in motion that should have been stopped half a decade ago." Josef invited them into his living room. He went over to the stereo system in the corner of the room. There was a record player perched on top. He put the record on and lowered the needle into the groove. The voice of the man from the graveyard came through the speakers loud and clear.

"Josef, I hope to hell you get this before Vincent does. Damnit, that devil is smart. He's been picking off the members of Project Gannon cleverly. Each time any of them travel in groups, he slaughters them in a violent fashion, more like his velociraptor predecessors than his usual nature, so as to make them think the Raptors escaped and not him. But I was in several of the ambushes, and managed to survive each one. Look in the Record sleeve. I found out how to get him, Josef! I figured out the one chemical that destroys the violent gene in him! You and I know well that when we created him, we accidentally created a gene in him that makes him incredibly violent. I wrote down the formula of the chemical that destroys only that gene! We can study him, even treat him as equal! You can lace a bullet with the chemical, and fire it into him. It's the only way to get the chemical in. his fur, skin, and bones have hardened tenfold, and he can heal any wound he receives. Josef, I know you can do this. For god's sake, Linily, we must save him. Otherwise a helpless soul will rot in hell-hell-hell-hell-" The needle started skipping. Josef walked over and raised the needle, then shut off the stereo.

"I guess I should explain. Five years ago, I was working in a laboratory in NY state, on an experiment called Project Gannon. We had brought Velociraptors back to life, and crossed their DNA with a human's and injected it into a weasel. The results shocked us. A violent change happened. The weasel grew to seven feet in length. His intelligence soared aboove even most human's I.Q.'s, up to about 350. He could speak english, latin, and german fluently. His fur skin and bones all hardened to steel, and he grew long powerful claws. But the worst we were yet to discover. When we had crossed the DNA, we had accidentally created a gene that made him unimaginably violent. He at first was able to restrain himself, he even acted like a human. I was heading the project, and I named him Vincent. Soon, he became incredibly violent. We eventually sealed him underground with the raptors. That was Five years ago. Now he's back, and with a taste for revenge." Tails looked at the formula. "This would be easy to replicate. I could make this out of stuff laying around your house. Do you have a can of Coca Cola, two boxes of baking soda, gunpowder, and a microwave?" "Yes."

Josef led Tails to the kitchen. Tails grabbed the two soup cans from his bag of treats, and dropped them in a big metal bowl. He then opened the can of coke and poured it in. he put in the two unopened containers of baking soda, then sprinkled the gunpowder on top, and put it in the microwave for fifteen minutes. When he pulled it out.it was only a soup can. "How did you do that?" tails went on to open the can. The contents was a green slime. He dipped a clip of bullets in it, then put the clip in a handgun. As the two walked back into the living room, the creature tore through the window. Tails dropped the gun and it skidded across the floor to Amy's feet. Before the creature could react, she calmly picked up the gun, and fired three rounds dead center into its chest.

Everyone stared at her. She had picked up the gun and shot him without the slightest bit of hesitation, with perfect accuaracy. She had been, for that moment, an entirely different person. Shadow was the first to break the silence. "Dr. Linily, are you alright?" he tried to say something, but it was too muffled to hear. "what was that?" "I'M FINE! GET HIM OFF OF ME!" They heaved the limp figure of Vincent off of Josef. They dragged him up the stairs and into a guest bedroom. They left him on the bed, and said goodbye to Dr. Linily. As they were heading home, everyone was carrying on their own conversation. "Amy, what happened back there? I've never seen anything like that! That was amazing." Tails said. "Tails, I'd rather not talk about it." "Why?" "Just let it go." "Um, okay." Shadow Asked Tikal, "Um…would you like to…you know…uh, go out sometime?" "sure." "How about Tuesday?" "Okay." Tikal went home, and the rest went back up to the mansion. "Well, how was it?" Dr. Robotnik asked. "Same old, same old." Said Shadow, looking sadly out the window in the direction of the graveyard. "Oh, and Josef Linily says hi." "How's he doing?" He asked Sonic. "Pretty good." Shadow said nothing. He looked at the Oak on the hill. It was lit up by the moonlight. Shadow looked up in time to see a Dragon-like shadow pass over the moon. Shadow felt very sad, and tired, as he walked down the hall to his room.
