"Hmm..." Sonic stated curiously; he and Silver were scouting the Hot Topic Krew at their new headquarters, being on a mountain somewhere towards the north. "These idiots haven't done anything recently..."
"Well... they could be plotting something." Silver remarked, noticing Shadow walking out of the HTK headquarters, blowing it up in a huge explosion that would make Michael Bay wet himself gleefully. "Holy shit!"
"I've had it being part of this edgy club! We don't even do anything important!" Shadow snapped as he folded his arms together, sighing.
Glancing at each other in disbelief, Silver and Sonic dashed down, confronting the black hedgehog.
"Shadow! What was that all about?" Sonic exclaimed upon moving his gloved hands around in an excited manner.
Shadow scoffed, folding his arms together. "I'm quitting the Hot Topic Krew. Those fuckers are circlejerking over shitty anime and manga. Plus, they won't shut up about that stupid Kill La Kill anime."
"...there's an anime called that?" Silver remarked, squinting his eyes.
Shadow nodded, shaking his head. "Yeah. Anyway, I'm officially out of the club. I'm going to be doing what I should have been doing..." He then pulled out a white cowboy hat and headed towards the west. "Be my own true self. Living life out on the edge and preparing to fight anything that comes my way... THIS IS WHO I AM."
Sonic and Silver were both shocked as they watched Shadow walk into the darkness, the two hedgehogs deciding to head back south, relieved that the Hot Topic Krew was slowly dismantling itself.
Fox McCloud was doing some training in his arwing as he was clearing up all the points in his training session, finishing up as he dusted his hands together.
"Heh! That's why they call me the experienced pilot!" Fox stated as he stretched his arms out, just for you big guy.
Star Fox McCloud: The Experienced Pilot
"...what the?" Fox gawked for he glanced around, with a traumatized Popo walking up to the anthropomorphic fox. "Huh? What's up, Popo?"
The blue robed Ice Climber glanced at Fox's arwing, then turned to Fox, his face paler than usual. "I really think about this every day. Every time I see a large male, every time I think about a plane, every time somebody mentions the CIA, every time somebody asks about a mask, every time I weigh on the scale, every time somebody mentions the want to be a Doctor, every time somebody says they're not their friends, every time somebody mentions loyalty, every time somebody mentions Batman." He then pointed at the arwing. "It all comes to me, just like that."
"...My arwing?" Fox responded in confusing because he couldn't understand what the boy Ice Climber was stating.
Popo placed his hands on his face, shaking his head in disbelief. "Holy shit. It's a part of me now. This scene is a big guy for me, and taking over my brain must have been a part of it's plan. Of course, Bravo Nolan you're a real human being and a true detective. I don't know what to do anymore. I wake up in the middle of the night and immediately yell..." He then grabbed Fox, screaming in his face, "FOR YOU!" He pulled away, placing his hands in his face as he began sobbing. "I...I j-just can't help it. Every dream I can remember for the past months has had to do with this fucking scene. Even if it's just the faintest sound of the plane. Oh my God. Please save me. Somebody. I can't take it. My life is crashing with no survivors."
Fox then watched in dismay as Popo collapsed on the ground, crying his ears out. Fox glanced around, bending down and patting Popo on the head, in a dumb attempt to comfort him.
"Uhh... sooth down there, eskimo boy?" Fox remarked, spotting Lucario walking by him. "Huh? What's up, Luke?"
Lucario turned to Fox for he moved his right hand around, holding a book in his left hand. "Master Hand left the mansion to find my other alternate self. He also went with his own alternate self."
"...alternate selves?" Fox pondered in confusion; he placed his hands on his hips, shaking his head in disbelief. "Is there something I missed?"
Lady Palutena farted loudly while she walked past the anthropomorphic mammals, a plate of pancakes in her hands.
"What? You didn't expect me to not show up in this fanfic?" Palutena remarked as she munched away on her fluffy pancakes while belting brassy butt blasts of gas.
Pinching his nose in disgust, Fox turned back to Lucario. "...Anyway, about this whole alternate self thing..."
"...I think it's best if I took you to the library." Lucario stated, with him and Fox dashing away from the training room as Popo continued crying on, not getting Baneposting out of his mind.
