(Saul) "Roger."
Saul roller-skates back to Sonic's location at double speed.

Tails was sat in his lab, tapping away at a keyboard linked to an entire network of computers, he looked at the screen and frowned tightly, his fingers a blur. On the counter behind him, the toaster stood with a small hammer beside it, the panels beaten out. It had served so well, that he felt it deserved a worthy repair. There was already masking tape on the side, preparing it to be painted with a red 'go-faster' stripe.

Sonic dozed off, waiting for Saul to make it back to his hideout. He hated sitting still for so long. As he fell into a deep sleep he cursed the name "Talon. You caused me boredom... Im gonna make you regret that!"

My past. It has been a long time since I discovered the secrets hidden within. Still, secrets escape me even now, and more questions are raised. My thoughts were interrupted when the radio broadcast told me something. "Maria." Could it be true that Sonic was responsible for Maria's death? It was a conclusion I was willing and yet refusing to accept. If Sonic truly had been the source of her death, then he would pay with intrest. All this time I would have been a fool. But the fact that a crowd of ingorant humans lies before me is daunting. They too seek the blue hedgehog. I can't let them find him before I do. I must have my questions answered, and then, I must avenge Maria.Shadow jumps into the air delivering a few kicks to people's heads. Some of them fall and start scooting away. "Out of the way, worthless humans. The hedgehog is mine." If he's here... The mob disperses back to their homes, leaving Shadow kneeling in a pose.

Sonic woke to the sound of Saul's moaning and jumped up. He said, "Cool! Let's get going!!"

Saul leads Sonic out to the clearing.
"The coast seems to be clear. Let's go get Tails."

(Saul) Hm, I haven't heard that one before... I'll make a note of it. "Okay then!"
Saul leads Sonic across the clearing to Tails' lab.

Tails looked up from spraypainting the toaster, pulling a mask down off his face as they entered. "Hey guys, I'm just finishing up here. I've got good news and bad news, which do you want first?"

"So I don't inhale the paint fumes ..." Tails gave him a bit of an odd look, indicating the aerosol can he was still holding.

Tails grinned and held up the repaired toaster, keeping his hands away from the still wet paint. "This! I call it the Toaster Cannon!"

As I walk my lonely road in search of Sonic, I come across a shrubbery in the likeness of my head. I stand silent for a moment contemplating the meaning. The turning my eyes away, I see a small building on a hill. What is its meaning? I've been searching so long for answers and now, right as they appear to me everything changes again. As images dance in my head I am filled with questions. "What if Maria...is still alive." The thought seems beautiful to me but at the same times escapes as the wind blows and the shape of the shrubbery shifts out of place. Just like myself I feel out of place in this world. I turn towards the small cottage on the hill and skate up towards it. There are two figures outside conversing.
"Hey. I am here for answers!" I call, oblivious if they are friend or foe. What answers lie in store for me here is a mystery. But I am the ultimate lifeform, and I will always prevail.

Tails pricked his ears and looked around, leaning out the window. "Shadow?"

(Saul) Shadow? Isn't he the hedgehog from that ARK incident? "Well, someone yelled out. Something about wanting answers."

"I'm here in regards to the blue-" Oh....that gold fox-boy again of ALL places. But he seems to be holding a toaster. New memories start spilling into my head, but I do not know if they are real. I stare silently at the toaster one second, and then the next I feels as if I am once again aboard the ark. FLASHBACK: Someone is here in this room with me. I turn around, and there is a girl in a blue dress leaning over a counter. She turns toards me with a cheery smile and says "Shadow, will you grab the jelly over there?" Yes, I remember now. It was a morning like any other. Maria waited patiently for the toasted bread to pop out of the machine and I was asked to retrieve the fruit concentrate for her. But when I turn to get it, the counter is too high for me to reach. I feel stuck in a flux of statuses, where I am both worried and afraid. I cannot reach the jelly, and Maria is awaiting it. What will happen if I am unable to get it. The memories haunted me to this day, and now I am forced once again to relive them. "Maria....I can't reach..."

((Wow, if Shadow is so afraid of THAT, either he's a real wimp or he's... oh never mind.))
After a short silence, Saul gets an idea. He leans over and whispers something in Tails' ear.
"Quick, Tails, go fetch some blue paint. Same color blue as Sonic. I've got an idea."

Tails looked doubtful and put the toaster down to dry. "Alright, but keep him busy talking." He headed to the box he kept his paints in and pushed up the lid, rooting through his blues and discarding a few before picking up one that was close enough to Sonic's shade.

Shadow awakes at the sound of the rummaging and looks at the window. "I'm looking for that blue hedgehog. I have answers I need."

Saul turns to face Shadow.
"Say, I know this is a little out of the blue, but have you ever been in a situation where it feels like you just can't go on, but you have to? Where you know it's not the end of the world, but you can't stop yourself from feeling like it is?"
((Call it what you want. I call it distracting Shadow by calling up another memory.))

"Yes...and I'm at that moment right now. Faced off in my search for answers that only Sonic would know. If you've not seen him, then I'd rather not waste my time here."

(Saul) Hm... Better keep talking. "Don't go away just yet. I might be able to answer a few of your questions. Just what is it you want to know?"

Tails slipped the paint to Saul, then handed him the cloth mask for his nose and mouth, piping up. "In fact, we're just waiting for him, Shadow. He should be here any moment."

Shadow looks around at the horizon scanning foir the hedgehog. It's blue...like space. Like the atmosphere, I know I've seen it. But I can't place my finger on...when. Shadow gazes silently off into the distance in thought.

(Saul) "Yes, that's right. He'll be- OH! HERE HE COMES NOW!"
Sonic isn't really coming their way, but Saul is pretty convincing in pretending that he is.

"I honestly can't say exactly, I forgot to activate his tracker chip before he went out. But he'll be here soon, I'm sure." Tails winced internally, he hadn't meant to say anything sarcastic. Shadow was not stupid enough not to notice.

I found my brow narrowing as I turned to face the other two. I'd been waiting so long for answers, and now that everything had changed I wasn't willing to sit still for this. "Empty promises of 'he'll be back soon' then. All my life has been full of empty promise, so I know it when I see it. And why exactly are both of you repeating the same thing, I'm not deaf. Where is Sonic! I must know if he killed Maria! I must know if he is responsible for every pain in my life!" Shadow glares at the two, but it's not quite clicked yet...it's about to, but not yet.
