Shadow Fire

"...trigger a Chaos Control..." Shadow gasped, reaching a hand towards the Master Emerald. Before he could take a step however, his world went dark, and he dropped to the ground, out like a light. The chameleon looked concerned. "Their bond... it must be so great... that great distances can cause pain..."

OFF TOPIC: Haphazard posting is fun. Wheeeeeeee! Meanwhile, Tohma was telling Ryuichi about the bands that he was recently supporting, explaining that the first gig would be at the Zepp Tokyo Clubhouse that night. Ryuichi was of course invited, to which the brunet was gleefully excited. "Tohma!" he cheered. "Can Mr. Bear come too?" The short-haired blond gave a grin, before nodding. "Yes..." he said with a chuckle. "Mr. Bear is invited too. We should go. They are due to start in only a couple hours." The pop-sensation began huggling his stuffed animal close.

Shadow let go of Sheko, glancing over at Espio, wondering what could possibly be meant. He didn't notice that Sheko was now moving towards the Master Emerald, until he saw the chameleon's eyes widen. "Sheko, wait! Don't touch it! You could-..." There was suddenly a bright flash from the Master Emerald.

Several hours later, Ryuichi had landed. Waiting at the airport, Tohma Seguchi suddenly blinked as he noticed a familiar face. The two stared at each other before Ryuichi suddenly rushed at him, clinging to him and laughing. K shook his head. "He is the same as ever..." the longer haired blond chuckled. "He snoozed the entire way over." Tohma smiled at K. "Thank you..." he said. "...for taking care of Ryuichi."

Shadow smiled, walking next to Sheko, putting his arms around the former Chao. "So..." he mumbled. "What did you hear? You said something about a voice."

Ryuichi yawned again, relaxing in his seat. Mr Bear sat buckled up in the seat next to him. The plane was already in the air, the pop idol closing his eyes to catch up on some well needed rest. I hope I get the chance to sing again in Japan.

Espio's cheeks reddened at Charmy's affections, causing Shadow to smirk wider. "You said something about me, Espio?" he teased. "You're one to talk." Espio gave a goofy grin, before bringing his own arms around the bee, before staring over at Sheko. "Shadow called you Sheko-chan. I heard you were a Chao... I see you are different, but that doesn't matter. Don't be afraid of Charmy. He won't hurt you."

Link gave a wide grin, before moving closer, bringing his arms around the older male. "After this dungeon..." he purred. "...again... I want... again..." The blush on his cheeks said enough of what he wanted.

Shadow winced, forgetting that Sheko hadn't actually been around while he used the guns he'd gathered. He glanced to the side in guilt. "I'm sorry, Sheko-chan..." he whimpered. "Well, this guy's Espio... someone I worked with during the invasion by Black Doom." Espio snorted. "At least let me introduce myself. But regardless, Knuckles left me here to guard his emerald, offering to pay me for my services. But then again, with the bonus that we were given from the government, we don't need money now. So, I'm doing this as a friendly gesture."

Link poked his tongue out playfully, before passing the bow to Diggs. "Here..." he said softly. "You're a much better shot than I am."

Before Sheko could reach the emerald, something took hold of his arm. "What do you think you're doing?" Before Sheko could even move, Shadow had drawn his gun, and fired, smirking as a loud yelp was heard, Espio appearing out of thin air. "Damn it, Shadow. You could have killed me!" Shadow's smirk widened. "I doubt it..." he snickered. "I knew it was you, and I knew where you would be. I could sense you. Now, please get your hands off my boyfriend, before I get mad." Espio let Sheko go immediately, eyes bogging out. "Your... BOYFRIEND?! Eh... didn't think you were the shota type, Shadow..."

Link gave a grin, holding the bow in his hands in front of him. "Yeah..." he said. "I recall hearing that... I think the Gorons said it before. Heheh."

Link blushed, before leaning closer. "Maybe..." he murmured. "But I couldn't have done it without you." With those words, Link pressed his lips to the older male's, pulling away a moment later.

The hedgehog nodded, but continued towards the emerald shrine. Putting Sheko on the ground, he began looking for any traps that Knuckles could have set.

Leaving his gloves off, Shadow gave a soft murr, before setting off for the Mystic Ruins. That big emerald... The Master Emerald...

Link sweatdropped as the Goron spoke to him of the treasure, admitting his haste was unnecessary. You need to get beaten by us to understand that? Still, to be guarding something... I can't fault you for that. The lava suddenly rose, stopping as the platform was raised to its original position. The Goron hit a strange pattern on the wall with his fist, the doors unlocking.

As OOT3D approaches release, several countries have already put together an exclusive preorder bundle, which differs depending on country. This cannot be said about the USA, which as yet, has no preorder bundle. However, here are a couple bundles, the top ones provided by Australia (who'dve thunk it?) and Greece: Australia <img src="http://content.ebgames.com.au/website/images/detail/153997_detail.jpg" width="280" height="204" alt="OOT3D Australian Ocarina Edition" title="OOT3D Australian Ocarina Edition"> You get the game, plus an ocarina, some sheet music, and it all comes wrapped in a nice gold box. Only at EB Games in Australia, all for the cost of 68 AUD. Greece <img src="http://www.zeldauniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ootgreece11.jpg" width="280" height="204" alt="OOT3D Greek Deku Seeds" title="OOT3D Greek Deku Seeds"> <img src="http://www.zeldauniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ootgreece5.jpg" width="280" height="204" alt="OOT3D Greek Keychain" title="OOT3D Greek Keychain"> <img src="http://www.zeldauniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ootgreece4.jpg" width="280" height="204" alt="OOT3D Greek Hat" title="OOT3D Greek Hat"> <img src="http://www.zeldauniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ootgreece3.jpg" width="280" height="204" alt="OOT3D Greek Ocarina" title="OOT3D Greek Ocarina"> You get the game, plus a can of Deku Seeds (lol), a keychain, a hat, and an ocarina (not as good as the AU one though). Not sure of the price, but these are limited availability, VERY limited for the seeds. But yeah... other countries may be doing their own preorder bonuses, but Australia has (surprisingly) come out on top this time around.

Link gave a triumphant grin as the Goron came back for more. After a few attacks, he defeated the Goron, who quickly held up his hands in defence.

At the airport, Ryuichi yawned cutely. The 24 year old suddenly gave an excited squeak when his flight was called for boarding. "I wonder what Tohma wants?" he asked. "Must be exciting! Hold on, Mr Bear... It's gonna be a long ride in the air."

Watching as the Goron's armor shattered, Link took his chance to attack, before throwing the Goron into the lava.

Shadow smiled, nuzzling his beloved affectionately. "Okay..." he murred. "Let's go."

Yes, another yaoi. I really love them. Okay, now this one, which Jia and I will be doing, is a Gravitation RP, which will be kinda different from how the official series goes. In Sleepless Dream (A merge of the song titles "Sleepless Beauty" and "Glaring Dream"), Shuichi Shindou does not meet and fall in love with Eiri "Yuki" Uesagi, instead maintaining his idolisation of the pop-star, Ryuichi Sakuma (who for the sake of this RP, I'm going to reduce his age a little). The two will encounter each other much like in the anime, when Shuichi gets stage fright and Ryuichi helps the pink-haired boy out. Love will blossom, but only time can tell how things will pan out. Let us... begin. ***** "ima mo todokanu hikari no yukue azayaka ni mau omoi wo egakou michibiku kotoba ga koborete shimawanu you ni utsuru toki wo osorenaide umarekawari no anata yo hitori hohoemanaide hitomi wo irodoru nozonda sekai ga totsuzen hai ni natte mo kiseki wa mada megurikuru todokanu hikari no yukue azayaka ni mau omoi wo egakou michibiku kotoba ga koborete shimawanu you ni utsuru toki wo osorenaide..." Finishing up the song, the brunet reverted back to his child-like personality, drawing in his scrapbook. "Sparkly!" he laughed out, grabbing crayons. "Sparkly sparkly!" His manager, K, shook his head at the pop-star's antics. "Ryuichi..." he chuckled. "We'll be leaving soon, heading back to Japan. Are you ready?" Bright-eyed, Ryuichi Sakuma nodded, before picking up his things, and Mr. Bear, before heading towards the door.

Sonic gave Tails' hand a gentle squeeze, accompanying the kitsune to Eggman's base. ----- Back inside, Shadow gave a soft sigh as he went in to see Sheko, clambering into bed next to the hedgefox. "Sheko..." he murmured. "It's okay... but I think we will need to go out sometime... I need to find out why these emeralds are misaligned. Did you want to go and see everywhere?"

I'll try and take time off work.

"And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath that same big sky Somewhere out there If love can see us through Then we will be together Somewhere out there Out where dreams come true..." The larger Totodile let out a soft whimper, tears stinging his eyes. "Ethan..." Silver whispered. "I need you..."
