Shadow Fire

Espio sighed softly. "It won't be easy, koi. He and I... he made it clear that I wasn't to return here. At least until I was 'cured'. I would rather face execution than to stop loving you."

Eyes blinking, Espio glanced at his beloved honey bee. "Hmmm? What is it, Charmy?"

Link nodded, looking around as if wondering where to go.

A frown came to the hedgehog's face. Gently laying the jester on the bed, Sonic glanced at him, looking for injuries. "Take things easy..."

At least it wasn't the PS2 version of Sonic Riders, Zeth... heheheh... (inside, Sonic Retro joke) I can't believe I've neglected posting my recent pickups... Okay... starting with what I picked up after Final Fantasy XIII-2: N7 Collector's Edition, no less. Picked up on March 8, Australian release date. Game of the Year Edition, which comes with the four DLC packs. Yeah, I finally got it. =P

*snicker* Actually, he's much easier, because although it doesn't seem it, he has a set fighting pattern, whereas Sephiroth can be totally random.I think you should try one of the Sonic modifications for the Mega Drive (or Genesis, if you are so inclined), such as Sonic 2 Retro Remix, or The S Factor: Sonia and Silver. I'd have said Sonic Megamix, but that was modified to become a Mega CD title. Still, I recommend it, if you know how to get the Mega CD part of the emulator working.

Espio glanced over at the young bee, nodding. "Yeah... Valdez... was kinda like a brother to me. Taught me everything I knew, and I loved him... more than I meant to. But when he became that monstrosity, I had to destroy him... but with all the damage that had been done... I let him back in, despite his having been turned into a killer robot. Many people died, because of my love for Valdez." The chameleon gave a slight smile, resting his forehead against his love's. "He seemed content when I destroyed him... released him from his pain. To be honest, before I met you, I heard his voice. I think... he guided me to you."

Umbra smirked, turning his attention back to his beloved, having successfully made Midna embarrassed. "Do you remember... when this forest was new... and we were last here?" The younger male gave a wider smirk, his eyes gleaming mischievously, not letting his love respond. "Let me remind you..." With a soft purr, he nipped at the prince's neck, flicking his tongue out over the flesh.

His eyes gleaming, Umbra moved his face to Dusk's neck, pressing gentle kisses to the flesh. "You worry too much about her. Her cycle has ended. It's us now... and we will always be. Now..." With a smirk, he playfully nipped at his love's neck. "...you said something about never being able to have an intimate time with me... let's change that..." He suddenly glanced over at Midna, grinning at her form. "It's time... only this time, it's us... you'll need to get some distance... I have been told... I make a lot of noise."

Oh... I knew there was something I forgot to import. I'll get onto those... Done.

New Skin! For those of you who prefer lighter skins, I have installed (and slightly modified) the skin from which the default originated. It is labelled Current (Light). I also fixed a few things in the darker variant.

The dark hedgehog gave a slight smirk, in spite of the pain he was still feeling in his abdomen. "My dear Sheko..." he purred. "I am the ultimate lifeform." With a soft chuckle, he pressed his lips to the hedgefox's. ----- Meanwhile, Espio was cuddled closely to Charmy, softly telling the young bee about his past. "...and that's why. I had no choice... I had to kill him. But it was my feelings for him that caused the trouble in the first place, which is why my people have this law about love."

Umbra grinned wider, draping his own arms around his love's form. "You heard it all, my love?"

Welcome, one and all, back to The GCN! I apologise for the time it took to get back online, but this upgrade was quite extensive, plus there was the fact that Zeth wanted me to modify the skin that we have by default.Now, the changes are: Full website intergration.

Please bear in mind that I am still making some slight edits to this skin, so please be patient. I know it's not perfectly colour co-ordinated for the moment, but I am working on rectifying that. Avatars/Photos, as well as profile information and signatures have been reverted. You will need to reset them. This is due to the new system's way of parsing.
