A/N: Well, here we go. This is the tenth episode of Sonic Chao Chronicles… and the episode where GUN steps up. I know this will seem rather mediocre.
GUN Fortress, Arizona Base- 10:02
Card Passer walked through his base- well, even if he was only in charge because the Commander put him in charge, it was his base- with two of his most trusted officers and the GUN pilot Sonic met some time before following him. "So Miss Stone," Passer spoke up, "I never bothered to truly ask you how your encounter with Sonic went."
"It was a complete failure," the agent- better known as Topaz Stone- replied. "I thought you read the file of my debriefing that Sonic defeated all of us and personally destroyed my plane's radio before any of us could call for back-up."
"I don't read about failures," Passer scowled. "However, this one failure peaks my interest… how is it possible that Sonic the Hedgehog defeated some of my best pilots and a professional black ops agent like you when he can't fly? The ability to destroy your radio is just as unlikely."
"He had an accomplice, sir," Topaz explained. "His ally, a fellow Mobian by the name 'Tails', was just as good of a pilot as me… if not better."
"You mean to tell me that these freaks are capable of managing and operating flight technology?" Passer scowled. "Okay, the thought is ridiculous, but it does peak my interest. However, how did Sonic destroy your radio?"
"Gunshot, sir," the agent replied. "He broke into my cockpit, stole my gun, and blew my radio to hell with it before disposing of my gun."
"…He had you at gunpoint and didn't do the smart thing?" Passer breathed. "Agent Stone, I'm suddenly having a harder time processing this bologna story you're feeding me. You're saying that Sonic had the opportunity to kill you- gun in his hand and everything- but didn't. Yet he knows how to use a firearm and has a Mobian friend who is a pilot. This means either you lied in your report or these freaks are more of this age than I gave them credit for."
"Sir," Topaz defended, "I'm not lying! I swear to God that I'm not!"
"Okay," Passer acknowledged, "let's assume, for the argument, your bull story is true. Well, as far as I can tell, the Mobians may have had advanced civilizations, but their physical technology was not of any flying machines or firearms. Yet these two Mobians- plus their latest addition that helped them escape the SSPD yet again- are pretty capable of piloting biplanes and shooting firearms. This means these monsters are somehow of a current age… and our latest prisoner can shed some light on this situation."
"What do you mean?" Topaz questioned.
"Yesterday morning," Passer explained, "when some of our men were sent to Station Square to secure what looks like a radiation poisoning victim, we found a blue Hedgehog Chao demonstrating Sonic the Hedgehog's traditional superhuman speed battling a female Honduran White Bat Chao that insists she's a Fruit Bat Chao. We have them both locked up and I have a small team watching the hedgehog Chao… and studying that strange gem and watch the two Chao were fighting over."
"I've been meaning to ask, but what of the girl?"
"I honestly don't care if the girl lives or dies," Passer replied. "It's not really my problem if she dies of radiation- we're only to study her, not make miracles. My main concerns today if we can find a relationship with the gem, the hedgehog Chao, the watch, and Sonic. I told the team that I want that Chao's DNA to see if we can make something to stop any more Mobians from popping up. Meanwhile, Miss Stone, I expect you to make up for your failure in killing Sonic by making sure nothing happens to our new gifts from Meteor Tech."
"Sir, that's a little heartless," a male GUN soldier spoke up. "The media expects us to do at least something to help her… we have to meet those expectations. Why would you let that girl die?"
Passer looked at the soldier with contempt. He casually walked over and slammed his fist into the soldier's stomach, sending him reeling to the ground, much to Topaz' shock. His two officers grabbed the soldier's arms and hoisted him up, holding him in place while Passer looked down at him. The next thing Topaz knew, Passer kicked the poor soldier so hard in the face she could swear she heard his jaw being fractured. As the soldier's teeth bled, Passer slammed a fist into the side of the man's face which would give him a black eye. The two officers cruelly released the soldier, letting him fall to the floor.
"I didn't ask for your goddamn opinion," the Colonel replied. "Question my authority again, and I will make this look like a slap on the wrists. Now get the hell out of my sight before I decide nobody will miss you, let alone find your body." Letting the soldier retreat in shame, he turned back to Topaz. "Miss Stone, I'm not for dirtying my hands, so be happy that after that report you gave me I didn't do that to you. However, should you disappoint me like that again I will see to it that you're dishonorably discharged from the military but not before I reduce you to a fine paste. I trusted you and your team to take down Sonic, but you dared come back here in failure… I don't tolerate it. So, the next time you see Sonic… either take him out or pray that he kills you because I wanted him dead weeks ago. We're done here… go see to the delivery. Oh, and don't question my authority again." Passer and his officers walked away, leaving Topaz alone… or so she thought.
"Oh my God," a young female officer with dirty blonde hair that was longer than Topaz' sandy blonde, ocean blue eyes, a pretty face with a beauty mark below her left eye but hidden behind a pair of green-rimmed glasses, and a rather buxom figure hidden underneath her purple CAT suit stated as she walked over from the shadows. She was only 17 years old, but she seemed to be a prodigy. "I can't believe Passer can do that and get away with it. Poor Johnny got brutalized."
"You really are an espionage agent," Topaz smiled. "So, what are you doing here, Maggie? I thought you were back in Station Square with your uncle after your investigation in Russia."
"Uncle Andy is busy with paperwork," the agent known as Maggie replied. "The incidents in Station Square are making things harder in the schools. Anyways, my main question is why are we tolerating the abuse that Colonel Passer is dealing out?"
"Because nobody has the guts to dare report anything to the Commander or the Generals," Topaz replied. "Not only do we all fear that his rank would make our stories invalid but he'd intercept any attempts to report to the top brass. He'd have us for insubordination. I'm just hoping to get reassigned to Air Force… being under Terra White is a hell of a lot better than this. What about you, rookie?"
"I'll stick to the espionage gig that my uncle's apart of," Maggie replied. "Also, why do you call me rookie, you flying old rock?"
"That's why I call you 'rookie'," Topaz scowled. "I hate being called old, and I know you hate being treated like the rookie we both know you are. So, stop it. The fact that we're training partners annoys me enough- it feels like I'm baby-sitting a kid."
"Oh screw you," Maggie scowled. "I'll be 18 soon enough… I'm graduating from high school this year, for god's sake!"
"Whatever," Topaz stated. "Anyways, we'll have to cut this conversation short- I have to oversee this new weapon system that GUN coughed up about 12,000,000 bucks for."
"Is that what Passer spent all of that on?" Maggie questioned. "I thought the Arms Race was over 40 years ago."
"It was," Topaz answered. "However, with the threat of Robotnik, we need bigger guns apparently. Anyways, I'll be seeing stuff explode. What are you going to be doing?"
"Doing what I do best- snoop around. The sooner we find something that we can slip by Passer to reveal just how much of a scumbag he is, the better it will be for us and all of the recruits sent here. Also, someone ought to see that the girl is taken care of, even if Passer doesn't care."
Maggie then walked away, leaving Topaz truly alone. Topaz groaned, "Now I know why I have to babysit her when she's far from Andy- she'll get herself killed by Passer. Why couldn't I be air force?"
Episode 10: Assault at GUN HQ! Swift's Tough Decision
Arizona Highway- 11:14
Tanaka drove the Lamborghini through the vast desert. He looked at the backseat where Karin, Danny, Ahaw Kin, Spike, and Miles sat- Miles sitting in Karin's lap while Spike sat in Ahaw Kin's. Speaking of Ahaw Kin, he was dressed in a red dress shirt, black tie (that Chris had to help him with), and black slacks, and looked rather uncomfortable. Danny was wearing a yellow dress shirt under a brown business jacket and brown slacks. Karin herself was wearing a tan dress shirt under her doctor's coat and a black skirt. Chris sat in the front wearing a blue dress shirt and black khakis, a determined look on his face.
"…Since nobody else seems to be in the mood to speak," Tanaka announced, "then I will. Master Chris, you have no idea how many last-minute strings your father pulled for you and your friends to be a part of this. The only reason our last direct experience with GUN ended with you, your grandfather, and Master Daniel being let go with a slap of the wrists was because of their fear of being cut off from your father. So, I expect you all to be on your best behavior… no fights or Morpher usage unless we need to do so. Otherwise, you will leave me with no choice but to tell your father of the incident and reveal to him your secret as Sonic. Do you understand, Master Chris?"
"Mr. Tanaka," Chris replied, "I don't have plans for getting into a fight. Frances has about a day and a half left if what we didn't drain with that incident in the hospital didn't buy us any more time. We went over this last night: we get Dr. Naka in, she finds Swift, the Morpher, and the Emerald, they find Frances, they heal her, and then we slip out with Swift and Frances in the back of dad's delivery truck."
"What is Ahaw Kin's alibi?" Tanaka questioned.
"Apparently," Ahaw Kin spoke up, "I am a foreign exchange student from Guatemala who is a part of Sonic's crush's 'Western Civilizations' class." As Chris blushed, Ahaw Kin continued, "Sonic is… 'hanging out' with me and Spike, welcoming us to America. I've already had a passport from a few times I've traveled into Guatemala."
"Okay," Karin announced, "that's something you and Spike are going to have to work on before we get in there… you guys calling Chris or Swift 'Sonic' is not a good idea in one of GUN's strongholds… we need to do this with some stealth, so you guys have to make sure that I don't get caught illegally entering the compound."
"Okay," Chris promised. "You know, this is the one time I'm glad my dad has been working on something so dangerous… hopefully, GUN will be busy playing with the Big Foot that they don't spot you."
"What exactly is GUN, anyways?" Spike spoke up with a question mark over his head. "You're not talking about a firearm, I'm assuming." Miles had a swirl over his head.
"I can't believe I know two individuals who don't know about the Guardian Units of Nations," the fox Chao groaned. "Well, let's make this quick… how much do you know about world history, you guys?"
"Not too much," Ahaw Kin replied. "What I do know is up to the late 1800s, I guess."
"Well, GUN popped up post-World War II," Chris explained. "After the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan surrendered to the Allied Forces. However, the scars of nuclear warfare ran deep throughout the world, as well as other potential acts of terrorism. In order to prevent this, a portion the U.S. military decided to adopt a policy to counteract any form of terror in the world and starting policing the world. This is GUN- the Guardian Units of Nations. They were most active during the Cold War, crippling anything that could be harmful to not just America, but to other countries as well. However, GUN eventually became so successful that they practically became America's military. You can't be a soldier in America anymore without being somehow involved with GUN. However, it's obvious some of the higher-ups in GUN are corrupt… there have been reports of supposed cover-ups, bribery, unauthorized missions, and unauthorized weaponry."
"And we're going up against them," Danny stated. "The leader of the outpost we're heading to has changed since we were here during flight test number twelve, so I have no idea who he or she is or what they are capable of. However, I think they were the one who sent those pilots on the day I became Tails."
"Alright," Chris acknowledged. "Let's not draw too much attention to ourselves, today. As far as dad knows, we're helping him… don't mention Frances."
"…We're going to die this time, aren't we?" Miles spoke up with a swirl over his head.
"Way to be the vote of confidence," Chris muttered. "If we stick to just small talk and nothing big, and Dr. Naka sneaks in, finds Swift and saves Frances, we'll get out of here intact."
"I have strong doubts things will work out that easily," Miles pointed out, "as they have Swift. Who knows what they're doing to him."
GUN Fortress- Swift's Cell- 11:21
Swift's head was lifted out of the water bucket, where he spat out quite a bit of water. "Where did you guys even get this old pail?" the Chao demanded, a swirl above his head- or rather, below it as he was being held upside down.
"We'll be asking the questions, here, Chao," the female soldier holding him answered before dropping him on the bed that was provided. "Just tell us what we want, and we'll guarantee your safety."
"…You honestly think I'm going to believe that, don't you?" Swift stated. "What do you want, anyways?"
"…Alright, smartass Chao," the soldier sighed, "I'll play your game. What we want is to answer our questions. When we captured you, you seemed to be after that bat Chao."
"Hey, she stole some things for me. If you guys are playing police, you can ask her, and she'd tell you that she kicked me first and stole from me!"
"You did strike back, though," the soldier commented. "However, I was told not to care about why you were fighting. What we care about… is what you were fighting over."
"Speaking of which, I'm going to want those back."
"Depending on what you tell us," the soldier responded, "you may get them back. Why on earth was it so important that you went after that bat Chao for a gem and a watch?"
"The gem belongs to my owner," Swift explained. "It's… a gift for his girlfriend." 'Okay,'Swift admitted to himself, 'not the coolest lie- using Helen to save face right there- but it wouldn't be smart to tell them why it's important.'
"And you're going to tell me that the watch was custom designed?" the soldier assumed.
"My owner's a billionaire," Swift shrugged. "It's natural for them to get flashy crap like that. He asked me to get it back, so I did. That's when your guys shot me with a tranquilizer, and I keep getting dunked in an old metal bucket."
"…Well, after checking your files, I would be inclined to believe you," the soldier commented. "It says here you are adopted by Christopher James Thorndyke."
"I've been meaning to ask him why his middle name is James," Swift verbally commented. "Just sounds odd for some reason."
"However, your fancy custom watch has a major contradiction," the soldier stated. "I've looked at the damn thing for the past two hours before interrogating you. It doesn't tell time… which means it's useless as a watch."
'…Note to self,' Swift groaned in his head. 'Next time we build a device that can alter human DNA and combine it with Mobian DNA through Chao that is conveniently disguised as a watch… actually install some sort of clockwork or digital watch as a cover!' After thinking that and the woman left him, he then remembered what caused them to build the Morpher in the first place.
Flashback- 4 Months Ago at Swift and Miles' Hut
"So," the hedgehog Chao asked as he finished a decent work bench for Miles, "how's your studying coming?"
"Well," Miles commented, "whoever owned these blueprints and this house before us… I'm going to put in the 'mad scientist' or 'failed genius' category. I have to say, whoever designed this thing really had plans for it, but never got to do so."
"…Whoever designed that thing had plans for a watch?" Swift asked with a question mark over his head.
"This is more than just a watch," the fox Chao answered. "According to the blueprints, it's a Chaos Energy Powered Human-Chao Spiritual Unity Morpher, which- if this thing existed and worked- would allow a human and a Chao to become some sort of hybrid… almost like the Mobians of the old world."
"…Okay, how about we just take out all of that junk in the middle, and call it a 'Chaos Morpher'?" Swift suggested. "So, in short, this thing could bring about Mobian superheroes."
"Mobian superheroes?" Miles questioned. "Have you been reading comic books again?"
"That's kind of what the Mobians could have been to Chao had they not been wiped out," the hedgehog Chao argued. "They had super strength, speed, some could fly, others could breathe underwater, etcetera, etcetera. Had they not died out, we probably would have them as the dominant species instead of centuries with humans."
"Many Mobian tribes have a history of being ruthless savages, Swift," Miles scowled. "So let's not fancy the possibility."
"So what else did you get from the blueprints?" Swift asked. Miles actually looked at Swift, an exclamation point over his head.
"…Who are you and what you done with my best friend?" Miles asked. Swift blinked. "The Swift I know would never be interested in stuff like this. Why now?"
"Because if what we've found out here is right," Swift insisted, "then we can use this to help people. You're super smart and I'm super fast; together we can figure this thing out and make this device to help people and Chao alike." Miles instantly turned away from the blueprints, fear on his face.
"Are you nuts!" the fox Chao yelled. "We can't do this! No way, no how, Swift! It's too dangerous!"
"And why the hell can't we pull this off?" the hedgehog Chao shrugged.
"Have you ever considered what the DCS would do to us if this thing turns out to be a dangerous weapon and they catch us building it? Being euthanized would be a blessing compared to what they'd do!"
"Have you considered the fact that I don't give a damn about my standings with those old fogies who sit on their rumps halfway across the world and judge Chao's freedom in the pettiest ways imaginable?" Swift scowled. "I don't! And they shouldn't care if two Chao are building something. We have rights, too, on this planet."
"Yeah," Miles scowled. "But you're ignoring the fact that thing could be dangerous in the wrong hands. For argument's sake, we go through with this and it works. However, it ends up being taken from us and used as a device to cause harm. More often than not in your comics do those with powers use them in destructive ways, Swift! This thing can cause just as much harm as good. What's to say someone won't do so?"
"We won't let them," Swift answered. "Not while we're alive and keeping an eye out."
"This is still a risky idea," Miles scowled. "If this messes up, we'll go down in history as two Chao terrorists! I'd rather not be remembered as a criminal!"
"We were criminals the day we broke out of that Panamanian Chao Garden!" Swift declared. "You know the old saying, Miles: you can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. Sacrifice is necessary."
"I know," Miles stated, "but we shouldn't take the risk without thinking this through. The point of this is if it works, we won't be able to have full say in what happens."
"I'll make sure that it will alright," Swift answered. "With this we can really help people. We'll be able to bring about a better future."
"Swift," Miles realized, "this whole thing seems way too important to you. Why have you always been so bent on helping others when it's not your problem? You helped me escape when you could have been gone on your own."
"Because I don't want to be like my dad," Swift answered. "You know I'm an orphan just like you, Miles. However, I did at least have my mom- not to rub it in your face or anything, but the point here is I had my mom. Not my dad, though. He just left her with an Egg to go on some damn journey of his, only with the Chaos Ring Bracelet around my wrist for her to remember him bye. I don't even know if the bastard's alive; all I know is that he abandoned my mom for reasons unknown, and she died thinking that he'd come back. He never did, even long after my mother was gone.
"I know I'm not the first case of abandonment- look at soldiers, children in bad families, orphans, hell, your own history, Miles. I want to find a way to make sure what I went through and what you went through doesn't have to happen to anyone else. We may even prioritize world peace by building this! And if this… 'Chaos Morpher' can bond Chao and Humans in a tighter way and save lives at the cost of going down a notorious terrorist, then Chaos damn my soul to hell right now." Miles looked at Swift, and sighed. He looked at the blueprints, and smiled.
"Well Chaos damn my soul with you," the fox Chao said in defeat. "As much as I may regret this, I'll do it."
"Really?" Swift gasped with an exclamation point over his head.
"One condition," Miles answered. "If we build this, we do this on my terms. If we have to acquire parts, it better not be anything too dangerous. The moment this thing becomes a super weapon, we scrap it and never build it again. We also burn the blueprints to this thing never sees the light of day."
"Deal," Swift replied. "Who knows where this will lead. Maybe it will have the opposite effect and instead of being terrorists, we'll go down as international heroes."
"You and your dreams, Swift," Miles commented. "Well, I'm honestly surprised, though- you didn't pull out a 'you owe me your life' card."
"It wasn't like they were going to kill us," Swift answered, "so I'd have to be an ass to do that to you. Now, let's get started on this."
"Hold it, Speedy Gonzales," the fox Chao replied. "This little hut may be far from civilization to keep a low profile, but this keeps us from nearby cities we can get the materials. We'll have to work for some time. Not to mention if we're going to be staying in this home, we'll need food. I'm not asking you to outright get a job or something… but we'll have to be careful when feeding ourselves."
"I haven't been caught yet," Swift smirked.
Present- Prison Block C- 11:48
Swift soon found himself in his shared cell with Ruby. Swift noticed the Chaos Energy coming in from the walls of the cell. While many people would think this would give Swift enough power to break out, it had a similar effect to the Dummy Rings Miles designed- because of the Chaos Energy from the walls. Swift's Chaos Energy levels were so over-stimulated that using his speed would be a bit much for him.
Once they closed the cell door, the bat Chao turned to the hedgehog Chao. "…So," Ruby asked, "What did they peg you with, sweetheart?"
"Nothing that'll interest you, bat girl," Swift scowled with a swirl above his head. "The sooner I get out of here, the better."
"Not with GUN taking such an interest in you," Ruby replied. "They really have a thing for mutant Chao like you."
"And you're not?" Swift asked as the swirl faded.
"Do I look like a mutant Chao?" the bat Chao questioned. "You see, unlike you, I have a comfortable Chaos Energy level of 52 percent. You, though, have Chaos Energy coming out of your ears."
"And I'm proud of it," Swift commented. Turning from Ruby, he spotted the door. "So, bat girl… do you have any ideas on how to break that door?"
"Why would I do something like that?" Ruby asked in an innocent tone, a question mark over her head. "I don't want to be a bad girl…."
"This seriously coming from a thief?" Swift questioned the sarcasm obvious. "Come on, you have to have a plan for escape for when you get caught."
"Yeah," Ruby smiled as her question mark faded. "It's called, 'not getting caught thanks to a Chao that doesn't know when to quit."
"…I hate it when you're right," the hedgehog Chao scowled, a swirl over his head. Soon, the two heard footsteps coming their way.
"But, in case I ever do get caught," Ruby announced, "I have at least one back-up plan." Soon, the cell opened, and in walked Maggie.
"Alright, Ruby," Maggie said in a somewhat annoyed tone. "Come on… let's hide you before GUN finds out."
"Thank you very much, Maggie dearest," Ruby smiled as she jumped off the bed she was sitting on, a heart above her head.
"'Maggie'?" Swift asked as a question mark over his head. Ruby smiled as she was picked up by Maggie. Swift quickly connected the two dots in his head as to how the two knew each other. "Wait, your owner is a GUN agent? THAT'S how you've found out about all of those gemstones you've gone around the world stealing, and why GUN hasn't caught you, yet?"
"You have to know the right people on the inside, sweetheart," Ruby giggled. "See you later, hedgehog."
"Wait," Swift gasped with an exclamation point over his head, "you're not taking me with you?"
"It's your fault we got caught," Ruby replied with a shrug as Maggie grabbed the cell door. "So, I'm leaving you in here. This really should make us even."
SLAM!
Swift found himself alone in the cell as Ruby and Maggie walked away. "…I really, REALLY hate her." Swift commented.
GUN Fortress Exterior- 12:00
"Hey, Chris!" Nelson Thorndyke greeted his son as he and his friends exited the car. Chris smiled at his dad as he approached. Father and son embraced in a casual hug, while Tanaka smiled at the two of them.
"It's good to see you again, Master Nelson," Tanaka began with a polite bow. "I trust you're in good health?"
"I've been taking care of myself, Eddie," Nelson chuckled. Looking at Ahaw Kin, he asked, "Aren't you that tour guide from that Mayan city?"
"He's a foreign exchange student in Helen's Western Civilization class," Chris quickly filled in. "Allow me to formally introduce my new friend, Ahaw Kin."
"It is an honor to meet you again, Mr. Thorndyke," Ahaw Kin smiled as he extended his hand and shook Nelson's.
"Well," Nelson chuckled, "the same to you, Mr. Kin." Turning to the others, he smiled, "Follow me." As the group walked, Nelson asked, "How's my dad doing, Chris?"
"Grandpa's fine for now," Chris replied. "However, with his work stacking up, he's rather busy today."
"That's a shame," Nelson sighed. "It would be better if all three of us Thorndyke men were here to witness the Big Foot tests, but if his work's stacking up… though that's strange. He's always taken pride in being immersed in his work. Not like my dad to be distracted like that."
"Mr. Thorndyke," Karin questioned, changing the subject, "about the Big Foot… what's it supposed to do, anyways?"
"That's highly classified, ma'am," a feminine voice Chris was rather familiar with. He turned to see a light brown haired woman wearing a GUN uniform approaching them. "As a matter of fact, miss, only those affiliated with Mr. Nelson Thorndyke are permitted on the grounds right now. His son and his butler I understand, but I don't know about you and the other two kids. I'm afraid for your safety and that of GUN's secrets I'm going to have to ask you and the kids to leave-"
"Dr. Naka here is Master Chris' personal Chao doctor," Tanaka explained, pointing to Miles and Spike on the ground, the former awkwardly waving and the latter crossing his arms. "And Master Daniel and Master Ahaw Kin are Master Chris' guests. I promise on my honor that they will give you no trouble, Miss…"
"Stone," the woman answered. "Topaz Stone." Looking at Karin, she asked, "I take it you're from Station Square, Dr. Naka?"
"Yes," Karin answered. "Why? What does that have to do with the Big Foot?"
"So, you're directly aware of Sonic the Hedgehog and his band of vigilantes that have been operating in Station Square," Topaz continued. "Believe it or not, Colonel Passer and several individuals within GUN have deemed Team Sonic as a domestic terrorist. I myself have had a close encounter with Sonic myself. I almost died in my chase because I was careless. I can't afford to let myself lose to Sonic again."
"Well, that doesn't answer my question," Karin commented.
"I suppose I'll have to be blunt," Topaz sighed. "Wherever Sonic the Hedgehog is, usually the true terrorist Dr. Robotnik is, too. And the Big Foot- a fully armored combat walker- will be able to deal with both Sonic and Robotnik." This caused Chris, Danny, and Karin to stop dead in their tracks as the others walked.
"…Wait, what?" Chris questioned.

Kingdom Rider92's Notes: Okay… I've finally finished this. Sorry for the delay, but… you know, real life sucks at times and I have other projects. Also, just thought I'd let you know that starting as of today, Sonic Chao Chronicles will also be on my deviantART page, "BladeSquall". Also, thank you for 150 comments!
Unfortunately Edge is sick right now, and Swift's still in a cell. However, Edge has told me that he will get back to your reviews next year, and he'll drag Topaz into the booth whether she likes it or not. Happy New Year's, everybody! Here's hoping 2012 doesn't result in the end of the world! Kingdom Rider92 out!
