Shadow Fire

The blue hedgehog gave a grin, before walking forwards and opening the door. "Well, would you like to see inside the house, or shall we stand here admiring the exterior?"

Sonic gave a soft chuckle at the reactions of the other two. "Yeah... it is a bit on the extravagant side. I used to live here with my brother, sister and mother... Now, it's just me that lives here... so, I try to take as much care of the place as possible."

With a smile, Sonic gently placed a hand on Light's shoulder. "Here goes... Chaos Control!" A flash of light later, and they were gone, reappearing before a beautiful cottage.

Sonic shook his head and forced a smile. "Anyway... w-would you like to... come over to my house... for a while?"

Sonic's expression changed to one of concern, the blue male letting out a soft sigh. "Something terrible must have happened to cause that. I went through the same thing a few years ago." Like when he left me...

Welcome to the herd... I mean, welcome to The GCN. >.>

The green-clad boy showed Kaze and Navi the letter he had, puzzling over it in his mind.

The blue hedgehog extended a hand and smiled. "My name's Sonic. It's very nice to meet you, Shade."

We're Back!First of all, I would like to apologise for the inconvenience of the past couple of days. The host had performed maintenance on the servers, which made a slight shift in the file structure. As a result, it caused a multitude of issues. It was so bad that I was forced to reinstall the site, and restore from a backup. In doing so, there may still be bugs around the site. In this case, I ask that you post in the Bug Tracker. I am still working on fixing up the few bugs that may still be lurking around, so please be patient. That said, you will also notice a new look with the community. Yes, I decided it was time for a change. Working together with Branden, the site's logo has been modified, and I am currently working on some new imagery of my own that will be fitted to the site in the near future. I have also added a new skin (The Twilight Network), but don't fret. If you don't like the look of this skin (which I am working on anyway), you can use The Dark Network, or The Deviant Network (formerly known as Deviant 3). You will also notice that some features have been removed, as they weren't used as often anymore. Primarily, the Battle system and the Arcade are no more. However, I am going to be checking around for any cool features that may be good to add to the community.

I'm not bleeding at all, and I should probably clarify, it is my TV that is broken. My computer, and its monitor, are unharmed.

Sonic watched the exchange between the siblings and smiled. "She's adorable, Light."

Opening the bottle, Link tipped it up, the letter falling into his hands, before reading it. Inside... Lord Jabu-Jabu? I wonder what that could be...

If Charles Martinet is at the EB Games Expo again this year, I'll definitely try to get video footage of him, ask a question and request a voice sample, but yeah... He's soooooooooo awesome. I chuckled at his response to your question, Branden.

Okay, so I'm not happy at the moment. I was playing Final Fantasy XIV on my PS3, and was experiencing some server lag. At the same time, I was using my PC. Because of my Hauppauge, I need my PC on to play my games. >.> Anyway, my PC suddenly froze, and I couldn't unfreeze it, so I turned it off, before moving to turn off my PS3. Suddenly, I tripped over my PC tower, my head smacking into my TV screen, completely fucking it up. So now, I can't play any games on my PS3/360. FUCK.

Reaching a hand up, the blue hedgehog placed it on the other boy's shoulder. "It took me ages to learn... but now..." A smile coming to his face, the emerald-eyed male removed his gentle grip from Light's shoulder, glancing around to survey his surroundings. They were already at their destination, Sonic having used his own special Chaos Control to bring them there. "Light... you're special... you really are." Reaching up again, this time cupping the other hedgehog's cheek, Sonic's face was once more a shade of red. Eyes locked on the other's, he was about to place a soft kiss on his cheek, when there was a loud ringing. Well, school's out for the munchkins...

Without warning, Link jumped into the water and began swimming back towards the portal, before diving underwater. Taking the item into his hand, he returned to the surface, and held the item up. It was a bottle. What? There's something inside it!

I bow to nobody. Remember that well, while enjoying your stay with us. Translation: Welcome to The GCN, man. I am controlling your brain...

In spite of himself, Sonic gave a soft chuckle. "It's okay... I know you used Chaos Control. How do I know about that, you wonder?" Stopping, Sonic returned his gaze to Light's eyes locking on one another's. "I can use it too..."

Link nodded down at the Zora, signalling that he would keep an eye out. The Zora saluted in return, before diving back under the waves in his search. As the blond glanced around the lake, he suddenly noticed a sparkling near the portal to Zora's Domain. There's something underwater over there.

"You're welcome, Light... It's not often you meet someone who can also use Chaos Control." His gaze shied away, a faraway look on his face.

The Zora glanced over at Link, who also shook his head. He then gave a soft sigh. "Very well..." he said. "I will continue my search. Hopefully, she left a clue around. She must have taken the Spiritual Stone of Water with her when she went out to play..." This piqued Link's interest.

It's an Invader Zim reference. It has no real bearing on this topic, except to bring humour on my statement of your excuse making. ...though, granted... I understand completely. Vegas Pro is a total bitch.

Sonic also smiled and continued walking in silence, until... "You were awesome in dodgeball, today... I was impressed at your skill."

Giving a nod, Link made a soft sound of affirmation, before glancing around some more. A sudden nearby splash got his attention, a swimming Zora the source. "Hey!" the Zora called out. "You haven't seen a pretty Zora girl around, have you?"
