RP
The Monteiro Bros., Liam and Blade were walking through Station Square. Blade was being his usual emo self.

Blade: *sigh* I still haven't found anything I'm good at...

Liam: Don't worry, Blade. I'm sure we'll find something you're good at.

Blade: I hope so...

A black hedgehog was in a Cafe nearby the two brothers, sitting cross-armed. "Good god, how long does it take to get some Burgers here? It's been 15 minutes..." He sighed and leaned back on his chair. He took no notice of the brothers.

Liam: Feel like getting some burgers?

Blade: Yeah, I do feel a bit hungry...Maybe some food might make me feel better.

Liam nodded and the brothers sat down at a table near the black hedgehog. They then looked at the menu and then ordered. Blade ordered a triple cheeseburger with a lot of cheese and a vanilla milkshake. Liam ordered a hamburger with a lot of ketchup and a strawberry milkshake. The waiter nodded and he went to get the brothers' food.

Blade: Maybe we could try car repo?

Liam: Maybe. Maybe we could try ghost hunting.

Blade: Yeah.

The hedgehog turned his head to the side, noticing the brothers. He had a sense of deja vu from one of them but the other was a complete mystery. His ears flopped a bit as he thought, and got up to talk with them.

"Hey uh...mind if I sit here or...whatever?" He asked the two.

Blade: Sure, have a seat.

Liam: Yeah, pull up a chair. *inside his head* This guy looks familiar...

He pulled up a chair nearby and sat down. "I had a feeling I recognized one of you...but I think it's you that I don't know..." He pointed passively to Blade. "You guys might need to tell me your names again..."

Liam: I'm Liam Monteiro.

Blade: And I'm Benjamin Monteiro, but I prefer to be called Blade Eastwood. We're brothers. Liam's adopted, though.

Liam: Yeah. I'm fine with that, though. At least I now have a family.

"Huh..." The hedgehog seemed a bit confused. "Oddly, I had deja vu though I don't recall meeting both of you. Oh well. I'm Asonja, the poorest and the most boring person to talk to in Station Square by far..." He groaned a bit quietly. "Anyway, are you all here to eat or something?"

Liam: *inside his head* Asonja...What a familiar name... *to Asonja* Yeah, we're here to eat. We're hungry, plus, Blade needs something to eat his sorrow away. He's had a switch in dads and now he's emo all the time.

Liam proceeded to explain Blade's story when their food arrived. Liam paid for the food and the boys started to eat. As they ate, Liam continued explaining Blade's story.

"Hmm...interesting. Mine was somewhat similar to that and just as long. Blade and I are somewhat similar to each other." Asonja explained, barely eating his food. He did take a few bites of the burger but, occasionally left it alone.

Blade: Yeah...When Tails was my dad, I felt like I was on top of the world. After all, that's what I did, because my old dad was a fucking Freedom Fighter. But then, Cosmo stole my old dad...I traveled to the past to get Tails to change his mind, but he refused because he truly loved Cosmo. Then some old alien dude who called himself 'The Doctor came and he resolved the conflict by telling me that my mom, Zooey could have me with someone else. She did have me with someone else, and that someone was Dave Monteiro. But as a result, I lost one of my two tails I inherited from Tails and lost my ability to fly...I'm also no longer the son of a Freedom Fighter...I miss the days where I would one day succeed Tails...

Blade laid his head down on the table and started crying.

Liam: *pats Blade's back* It's okay, Blade. We'll find something you're good at eventually.

Blade: *sniff* No, we won't! I'm a useless little cunt! I'm only useful as a construction worker or a fast food worker...I'll never be like the big boys...

Liam: I'm sorry about Blade. His confidence level is really low since the Cosmo Incident.

Asonja nods. "I completely understand. I'm not good at anything either as I was born from purebred wolves along with a wolf brother. I was just 4 years old when my family got destroyed by that fat mustached man...I couldn't forgive him yet at the same time I couldn't do anything about it, as he told me. So I did what he said and lived by myself for the next 12 years. I could never find the power in me to get revenge on him." He sighed. He seemed more colorless and emotionless than Blade.

Liam: Man, I'm sorry to hear that.

Blade: Yeah, me too...

Liam: Anyways, let's think of good idea's about what Blade could do.

Liam, Blade and Asonja started thinking.

His ears flopped as he does so. "Let's see...does he like to fight and stuff similar to that?"

Liam: He liked to fight all the time, but not anymore. I've been trying to get him back into it, but no luck. But maybe you could help him with that.

"No way in hell am I training or sparing with him. I don't go well with fighting/training either these days..." He grumbled. "I shouldn't even be helping either, I'm not really that good at it. That was all I could think of anyway..." He added.

Liam: Okay. *gets an idea* I got it! Blade, maybe you could go try and work for the police.

Blade smiled at the idea. It's the first time Liam ever saw Blade smile, which surprised him.

Blade: Heh...That's a good idea. Let's go to the local police station.

Liam nodded.

Liam: Are you coming, Asonja?

"Uhhm...probably not. The Police and I...don't really get along very well..." He said awkwardly. "Oh, and you payed for the food right? I'm poor, like I said so I can't really pay for this."

Liam: Okay. We'll see you later then.

Liam and Blade got up and walked off for the nearest police station. They found it and entered it.

Blade: Excuse me, sir. I'd like to join the police.

Officer: Okay. Well, let's do a physical test.

Meanwhile, with Asonja...

He sighed, finishing up his burger. Luckily, the Waiter said that his food was payed for almost entirely by a mysterious person. He seem relieved but worried of this person but shrugged it off anyway. He said thank you and went back to his apartment which hasn't really changed. He collapsed on his couch and turned the TV on.

Back with Liam and Blade...

Blade has passed the physical test, now it was time for the psychological test.

Officer: So, Blade, tell me about your past.

Blade: My past...

Blade told about his past. However, he had an emotional breakdown because of it and failed the psychological test. Liam and Blade left the station and went to their apartment, which was next to Asonja's. Asonja could hear Blade's rather loud crying from his apartment.

He paused his show, as if he had gone crazy from hearing things. "Huh...that sounds like Blade crying...He's becoming a baby..." He sighs, gets up and opens his door to his apartment.

He went to his left to the next apartment where they were and knocked rather hesitantly. "H-hey uh...is everything okay in there?"

Liam opened the door.

Liam: Blade failed psychological test at the police corps and now he has totally lost his mind...He's inconsolable right now...

"Poor guy..." He mutters and sighs. He scratches his head for a minute. "He sounds like he needs to be comforted or something...but I'm not good with stuff like that. Perhaps let me know when he calms down?"

Liam: Will do.

Suddenly, Blade calmed down.

Blade: I'm useless...Mainly because of my mental health...

Asonja seemed to get a stern look. He politely moved Liam out of the way so he could walk in and get in front of Blade, still keeping the look. He knelt down and looked at him. "Blade, listen to me; You need to relax. Stop using the past as a horrible memory; it's getting in the way of your way of living."

Blade: If you say so...

"I KNOW so, Blade. I'm doing the same thing too. You're nowhere near where I'm at. You cannot change the past, but you can definitely change who you are in the future and now." Asonja was saying these things sternly and seriously like Blade was more important than himself.

Blade: Okay, then I will. Yeah, why would I worry about the past when I have a huge future ahead of me?! I'm gonna try to find something I'm good at. Maybe sing, maybe play piano, there's all kinds of opportunities. Thanks, Asonja.

He nods, only showing a sly smile. "No problem. If you need a hug I'm always here for ya, even Liam is. That's what brothers are...for." He looked a bit saddened himself for a second. "But yeah, if you need comforting or need someone to talk to when Liam isn't around, contact me. I'm next door." He pats his shoulder. "Now get out there and follow your dreams."

Blade: Will do.

Blade got up and walked out the door.

Liam smiled.

Liam: Asonja, that was really nice of you. I've never seen Blade this happy. If there's anything I can do to repay you, let me know.

"You don't have to." He stated, standing up. "But if you got any ideas I'm willing to hear it. I'll be going back to my apartment drinking my usual Root Beer mixed with a pinch of Vodka. I could really go for that right now. Anyway, have fun with Blade." He nods and walks out of the apartment to walk into his. He left the door unlocked.

Meanwhile, Blade was at a karaoke bar, and he was singing At Last by Etta James. Blade had a beautiful and powerful singing voice. The audience screamed and cheered.

With Asonja...

(I have returned!)

He went to his fridge while the TV was on commercial break. He got out a glass bottle of Root Beer, opened it, and poured a bit of Vodka in it. He shook it a bit with the best of his ability without the bottle splashing everywhere and drank when the fizzing stopped. "Not bad. Not bad at all..." He muttered to himself, before looking saddened.

"Man, those two brothers love each other pretty well...it's like they're stuck together. Man...if only my family were still alive..." He sighed and sat down on the couch, drinking away.

Back with Blade...

Blade has finished his song. He got a standing ovation from the crowd. Blade couldn't stop smiling.

Blade was brought home by the crowd. Asonja could hear the cheering people as they put Blade down at his doorstep. Liam opened his door and let Blade in.

Karaoke Bar Manager: Is this your brother?

Liam: Uh, yeah.

KBM: Have you ever heard him sing? He's really good.

Liam: Sweet!

KBM: You should sign him up for Mobius Got Talent. Anyway, see you.

The crowd left and Liam closed the door.

Liam: Can you let me hear your singing voice?

Blade: Sure.

Blade cleared his throat and started singing This Is A Man's World by James Brown. Asonja could hear Blade's singing voice next door.

He paused his show to listen. "Oh damn, that is...wow. Even I can't sing..." He grumbled, scratching his head. "I got no talent at all. At least...I don't think so." He turned the TV back on, but when commercials came up, he would mute the TV to listen to the singing.

Eventually, Blade finished singing. Liam was basically blown away by his big brother's talent.

Liam: Blade...I barely know what to say. You had SUCH a big hidden talent, and at last, it has been unveiled. We finally found something you're good at. That guy was right: We should sign you up for Mobius Got Talent.

Blade: Let's do it right now!

Liam: Okay.

Liam and Blade went to the computer and went to the Mobius Got Talent sign up page.

In Asonja's apartment...

"Hmm...Liam did say he would pay me back somehow...but I haven't heard anything from him..." He muttered to himself. "Maybe they're setting up for something big so I won't bother them. He drank the last of his Root Beer Vodka and threw the bottle somewhere behind the couch.

(Brb, I'm gonna go get ready to go to my school for my schedule. It's that time DX)

(I might not be here when you get back, so if I don't see you again, I'll see you tomorrow. Also, let's say we skip to a few months later, where Blade auditions for Mobius Got Talent? :3)

(I have returned! Oh, and sure)

A few months later...

Blade walks onto the stage of Mobius Got Talent with a mic in his left hand. The Judges, Simon Cowell, Rouge the Bat, Cream the Rabbit and Howie Mandel look at Blade with a worried look.

Rouge: *to Simon* I'm a bit worried about this.

Simon: Yeah, me too.

Rouge: Hello. Who are you?

Blade: I'm Blade, I'm 17 years old and I'm from Station Square.

Rouge: Okay. And what are you gonna do?

Blade: I'm gonna sing.

Rouge: Okay. And is singing important to you?

Blade: Yeah, because I lost a dad, and I've been bullied because I was an emo, and so I put everything into singing.

The screen cuts to an interview with Blade...

Blade: I'm Blade, I'm 17 years old, I'm from Station Square and my dream is to break through as a singer.

Vector (The host): What does singing mean to you?

Blade: Basically everything. When I'm happy, I sing, when I'm angry, I sing. Basically, all the time.

Vector: Okay, why are you angry sometimes?

Blade: Because of people criticizing me when I walk down the street.

Blade: I was bullied by people because I was different than others. At least, that's what I thought. *to Vector* When I was singing, I usually had to stop because of the neighbors. *to the camera* And because of that, I couldn't sing freely, because there was always police around the house.

Liam: Yeah, they were like: 'He can't sing anyway' and such.

Backstage, with Liam and Asonja...

Liam: You can do it, Blade. Don't listen to anything negative they say.

Liam: *to the camera* The neigbours have made it really hard for us, so at a certain moment I decided to move.

Blade: It was super sweet that Liam wanted to do that, because singing is my lust and my life.

Back on stage...

Rouge: What makes you different from other singers?

Blade: My really deep singing voice.

Rouge: I see...And I see you're gonna sing 'At Last' by Etta James.

Blade: Yeah.

Rouge: Ooooh, that IS Etta James. That's a bit of a daring choice. Are you ready?

Blade: I'm ready.

Rouge: Alright. *to Simon* When they sing At Last, then you know what time it is. But maybe it's really good.

Vector: Go, Blade!

The music starts playing...

Cream: *to Simon and Rouge* Be nice.

Blade starts singing, the crowd cheers loudly and Simon has a 'WTF' look on his face.

Eventually, Blade his finished singing. He gets a standing ovation from both the judges and the crowd.

Rouge: Oh, boy. Look, Blade. Such a big nose you're making to all those bullies now. You have something to bring, like: 'Hi, guys. Here I am, this is what I do.'

Simon: This is the type of sound you don't expect from a guy in a Terminator outfit. Well done.

Howie: Blade, I barely know what to say. You're SUCH a special person, SUCH a special performance.

Blade: Thank you.

Rouge: Cream!

Cream: I'm SO happy you're here.

Rouge: This is the first year I'm doing this, so I've never done this before, but they said that if I push this...

Rouge presses the Golden Buzzer...Golden confetti rains down on Blade...The crowd cheers loudly, Liam jumps and cheers happily...Rouge walks onto stage to congratulate Blade...She kisses Blade on the cheek...

Simon: Thank you, Blade.

Blade: See you in the liveshows!

Blade leaves the stage and walks back to Liam, Asonja and Vector...

Liam: Great job, Blade!

Vector: Congratulations!

Though Asonja stayed silent the entire time this was going on, he had a small 'envious' look on his face. It wasn't an angry glare, it was more of a 'Wanting that kind of skill' kind of glare. "That was quite the performance." He says normally to stop the silence from getting too awkward.

Vector: Do you realize you're in the semi-finals right now?

Blade: Yeah, I do. And I better get to practicing for my next performance.

Vector: Alright, we'll see you soon.

Liam, Blade and Asonja went to Liam and Blade's new house. Once there, Blade noticed Asonja was jealous.

Blade: What's the matter, Asonja? Are you jealous?

He made a noise that sounded like a worried groan as a sweat drop went down the side of his head. He looked away. "N-no. Why would I be jealous? That's absurd..."

Liam: Asonja, don't lie. I can tell you're lying.

"...Well maybe a little bit." He grumbled.

Blade: Well, not everyone has such singing skills. If everyone did, then the world would be a boring place.

"It's not that I'm jealous of you singing, it's just that I'm jealous that you have talents in general. I never really set out to find it, I just kind of ignored it." He states, seeming to point back to his apartment that was cluttered with bottles of Root Beer. Though there was a scent of Alcohol in the air too from the last time they could recall.

(Liam and Blade now live in a different neighborhood, by the way.) (I know, I fixed it.)

Liam: Maybe we can help you to find your talent too.

Blade: Yeah, everyone has a hidden talent.

"Perhaps...but you know me by now; I hate going out in public." He grumbles a bit.

Liam: Okay...Well, if you change your mind, let us know.

Blade: Yeah. We'll drop by your place some time. See you soon.

"See you." He waved a tiny bit and got up, stretching. He went out the front door with his hood up.

Blade went to his room to practice his singing for the semi-finals performance. Liam went to watch The Walking Dead on the tv.

Asonja arrived in his apartment, the familiar Alcoholic smell cluttering up the place. "Sheesh...perhaps I should clean this place up...later, anyway. My show will be on soon..." He muttered to himself when he sat down on the couch and played on his phone.

(I'm gonna take a nap because I'm really tired and stressed about my stupid group full of Christian assholes at daycare. See you soon.)

(Alright. I'll be here.)

(I have returned!)

Later, Liam had finished watching an episode of The Walking Dead.

Liam: Man, that was one thrilling episode. I wonder how Blade is doing.

Blade came out of his room.

Blade: Alright, I'm done for today.

Liam: Good.

(Let's say we skip to the Mobius Got Talent semi-final Blade is performing in? :3)

(Surez. Go ahead.)

(Okay. I'll watch a video first, then I'll type.)

In Mobius Got Talent Semi-Final 3...

Vector: He once again chose for a classic. With 'A Change Is Gonna Come' By Sam Cooke, here is Blade Eastwood.

The crowd cheered and Blade started singing, causing the crowd to cheer again.

After Blade is finished...

Vector: Well done, Blade. That change sure has come.

Blade: Yeah, I think so.

Vector: Rouge.

Rouge: You know, Blade, what's so emotional about you, apart from the fact that you can sing really, really good, is the fact that you're really easy to hurt, but at the same time, when you sing, you're really powerful, and that's something we don't see a lot. Keep on singing, because you'll keep pleasing crowds, and you're gonna be famous. I hope so with lots of sincerity.

Blade: Thank you.

Vector: Simon.

Simon: Blade, in my whole professional career as a talent scout, I have NEVER EVER seen someone who can unexpectedly sing this good. It was the right note every time, and really pure. Well done.

Vector: Howie.

Howie: Well, Blade, out of everyone here, you have the most pressure on you coming in here today, because our expectations were really high, and you just managed to go beyond it. Way beyond.

Vector: Cream.

Cream: Well, Mr. Blade, I think every mother, including yours, wants their child to be happy. I mean, you went through such a hard period in life, and whether you're gonna be a star or not is not really important to me. What matters more to me is: How are you feeling right now?

Blade: Right now, I'm feeling really good.

Cream: Well, I think that's what's really important, that you're feeling fine and happy, and I'm really proud to have you here on the show.

Simon: Indeed.

Vector: Well, Blade, you touched us all, including me. And maybe, you have earned a place in the finals. Ladies and gentlemen, Blade Eastwood!

Once Blade walked backstage, the judges started talking to each other.

Simon: In all Mobian talent shows, The Voice, Mobian Idol, I've seen them all, and I have never seen someone there who can sing as good as Blade.

With Asonja...

Asonja had watched the show on his tv...

He was drinking his Root Beer/Vodka mix as he watched, seeming to have a more angry jealousy face. "Damn...He didn't even bring effort into his singing and yet he's that good? Why can't I be like that..." He grumbled.

The next day...

Liam and Blade were visiting Asonja's apartment. Liam knocked on the door.

He opened the door, seeming to look worse than the last time they met. He looked more tired and, of course, his room smelled of a bit of Alcohol. "Oh, hey guys. I saw the performance yesterday. It was pretty good."

Blade: Thanks. But you totally look like ass, dude. What happened to you?

(Brb, toilet.)

(Kk) "That's...not really important now. I'm completely fine, just stayed up a bit too late, that's all." He looked like he stayed up all night as well as looking hungover.

Liam: Okay. Well, we decided to come help you clean up your apartment. Is that fine with you?

"Sure, I guess...just don't break anything or...drink anything that's left out." He warned as he moved out of the way to show his apartment. There were so many areas filled with Vodka and Root Beer bottles of many different brands. "Yeah, I'm a slob sometimes, who cares...?" He grumbled.

Blade: Dude, are you a fucking alcoholic?

"Just recently, I suppose you could say that. It seems to do its job well." He did a small hiccup. He's WAY too young to be drinking. (Since you're somewhere else, it's probably illegal to drink under 18. In the U.S it's illegal to drink under 21.)

(Yeah. In The Netherlands, the minimum age to drink alcohol is 18.)

Liam: How old are you, Asonja?

"Sixteen. I'm a year younger than Blade, I'm thinking..." He said. He sat down on the couch.

Liam: Dude, why are you drinking at age 16?!

"Hey, I can do what I want, alright? It says it drinks your problems away, so I go ahead and do just that!" He says. "I just put a small bit in my Root Beer and that's it. It hits me hard and it feels rather relaxing when it settles. But then the hangover hurts..."

Blade: Asonja, it's fucking illegal to drink under 21! For your own good, we're taking all your vodka away!

Liam and Blade went to get bags and cleaned all of the bottles of vodka and root beer from the apartment. After that, they got all the other vodka Asonja hoarded in his apartment. Afterwards, the three were standing in the cleaned up apartment.

Liam: This is better.

Blade: Way fucking better.

"Aw man..." He groaned. "Now I can't drink my favorite soda without the Vodka. It tastes way better with it too..." He scratched his head.

Liam: Also, while we were cleaning your apartment, we signed you up for an alcohol recovery class. It should help cure your addiction.

"You could've given me a therapist but that works too I guess..." He laid down on the couch. He made a small groan too.

Blade: Well, here's the address of the location you have to go for these classes. *hands Asonja the address* Well, Liam and I will be going. See you later.

Liam and Blade left the apartment and closed the door.

He looked at the address and then just dropped it on the floor, quietly groaning. "Well, this sucks."

(Time skip to the part where he goes to the class?)

(Was about to type that.)

Asonja later went to the class at the community theater.

Porter: Hello, I'm Porter, and I'm an alcohollic.

Everyone: Hello, Porter.

Porter: I first started drinking when I went through divorce. I drank at least 2 gallons of Rolling Rock a day. It costed me my contact with my children. The last time I spoke them was like...2 years ago or something? I still miss them to this day...Now I'm giving the word to newcomer Asonja...

"Hello, yes, that is my name." Asonja nodded. "I just recently started drinking out of depression much like Porter except for not the same reason. I started drinking because...well...seeing how many people have so much talent and love to show it off fills me with dread as I have never really claimed to have any talents during my years of lower education as well as a victim of bullying for my cowardice. I still have to deal with it today occasionally and I have no idea how to fix it other than drinking."

Porter: I see...Well, maybe we can help you with your problem here. I learned the hard way that drinking is not the answer. You should learn the same.

"Perhaps...but let's see how that will work. What're we going to be doing today?" He said rather calmly and emotionless like he sometimes is when he is put into places he doesn't want to be.

Porter: We're gonna try to get rid of our addiction by putting on shock systems. Every time you reach for a beer, you get shocked.

The people put a shock system on Asonja and put a bottle of vodka next to him. (I'm such a cruel individual. X3)

"Oh great...this reminds me of lie detectors." He sighed and looked at the bottle for a second, seeming to think.

(I'm going to bed now. See you tomorrow.) (kk cya)

Porter: You can resist this. I know you can.

"Cmon, could I at least try one little sip? I don't drink that much Vodka anyway.." He said, seeming to go for it.

Suddenly, Asonja got a shock.

He grunted and pulled back. "Ow, is that supposed to tingle my insides? Or at least...not that much?"

Porter put the shock system higher.

Porter: I put the shock system higher because you clearly think you can fight the shock system.

He seemed to sigh and look at the bottle again. "How...does this help exactly?" He questioned before reaching toward the bottle again this time rather hesitantly.

Asonja got a shock again. This time, the shock was higher and more painful.

Porter: It'll help you to stop drinking.

He groaned a bit more in pain, pulling away. "I understand but I'm guessing it's supposed to hurt..." He sounded like he was in small pain.

Porter: It is supposed to hurt. Pain usually helps alcoholics quit.

"Interesting..." He seemed to pause and hesitantly tried again, this time going slower than usual.

Eventually, Asonja got another shock.

He growled in pain, pulling away. He didn't seem to go for it that much anymore.

Porter: See, this really does help. Let me take off your shock system and then you're done for today.

Porter turned off the shock system and took it off of Asonja.

Porter: Same time next week, okay?

He nodded. "R-right. I'll be there.." He seemed to struggle to get up but he managed to do it himself. He soon went to his apartment and collapsed on his couch, still a little bit in pain.

Meanwhile, in Liam and Blade's home...

Liam was making his very first vlog to put on GooTube (Youtube).

Liam: Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to my very first vlog. My name is Liam Monteiro, and today, it's Tuesday. I decided to start making vlogs for GooTube because vloggers are really popular, apparently. Anyways, let's get this day started and I will see you soon.

The next morning, with Asonja...

He was drinking a regular Root Beer, seeming to be a disappointed by the missing Vodka taste in it. "Well...at least it's not giving me heartburn..." He sighed, tossing it to the floor again once he was done.

Liam knocked on Asonja's door.

He groaned quietly and got up. He opened the door, noticing Liam. "Oh hey. What's up?"

Liam: I decided to come by and see how you're doing. Also, would you like to be in my vlog?

"Uhhm...sure? What do you do in a...vlog?" He asked. Seems like he never watched them or ever participated in one.

Liam explained what a vlog is.

"...Ah. So it involves going outside and doing things. I suppose I'll give it a try, how bad could this be?" He shrugged, not seeming to smile that much.

Liam nodded and turned on his camera, then started recording.

Liam: I'm now at my friend Asonja's house. He lives in an apartment somewhere here in Station Square. Blade and I used to live next to him. Say hi to the viewers, Asonja.

He did a single wave. "Sup people in different locations."

Liam: Good, good. Well, I'm gonna hang with Asonja, and then I'll see you guys again.

Liam stopped recording and turned off the camera.

Liam: That went well.

"That was probably the weirdest experience in my life. Probably the last for a while." He shrugged. "Oh, and sorry if I'm a bit slow and sore; I went to that place thing you signed me up for..."

Liam: That's fine. What's important is that you're learning to quit drinking.

"I suppose that's true. Where'd Blade by the way?" He asked.

(I'm bored, so I'm gonna pack in for today. See you tomorrow.) (kk cya)

Liam: Blade is asleep. He was at Station Square Late Night last night to talk about his participation in Mobius Got Talent. I went with him. Wanna see?

He paused for a moment but shook his head. "Nah, no thanks. I'm good. What're we going to do today anyway?"

Liam: How about we go to the arcade?

He seemed a little confused. "An Arcade? I don't think I have stepped foot in one before. Of course, my fear of being outside of my apartment for too long is still standing a little bit..."

Liam: I'll show you.

Liam took Asonja outside, locked the door of his apartment and then the two of them went to the arcade.

He seemed tense, looking inside the arcade. "There's uh...quite a bit of people in there. M-maybe we should go back home before it starts getting too full." He tried escaping.

Liam pulled him back in.

Liam: It is supposed be full. That's the whole point of an arcade. Wanna watch me play Pac-Man?

"S-sure..." He said nervously. (Sorry for my absence, a lot of stuff happened.)

(It's okay.)

Liam nodded and the two of them walked to the coin exchanger. Liam turned his 10 dollar bill into quarters and then they went to the Pac-Man machine. Liam put some quarters in and started playing.

Asonja watched, a bit confused at what he was looking at. "How old is this game? The graphics don't look that appealing..."

Liam got further and further into the game. Eventually, a crowd started gathering around Liam and Asonja.

Eventually, the arcade was filled as Liam got further and further into the game.

(I got it. This time, I'm hooking Sonic and Sally. I hooked Sonic and Amy before in our Private Roleplay. Plus, I got the idea of hooking Blade to Amy. Or is that creepy?)

(Perhaps it's fine, I dunno. I just got back from stuff anyway and I got some 20 minute homework to do)

Asonja got slightly worried with the arcade filling up and with Liam distracted he went outside of the arcade to relax.

(Okay. Well, I gotta go to bed now, so I'll see you this weekend, maybe?)

Eventually, Liam set a World Record, and everyone in the arcade cheered loudly. Liam was photographed with everyone in the arcade for the newspaper and the Mobius Book of World Records. Liam then went outside to talk to Asonja.

Liam: Hey, guess what? I set the world record for Pac-Man!

"Oh, really? That's...quite impressive." He said. His envious tone was a bit more obvious now, but he was still pretty happy for him since no one he knew set world records, but was still jealous either way.

Liam: I know. Wanna celebrate at your house?

"Sure, I suppose. What're we going to get?" He asked.

Liam: How about some pepperoni pizza?

"Sounds good. I prefer cheese though." He shrugs.

Liam: Okay, then we'll get cheese for you and pepperoni for me.

Meanwhile, with Blade...

Blade had woken up and was now taking a walk through the city.

Blade: It sure is a peaceful day today.

Suddenly, Blade saw Amy Rose crying at a café table. He went over to her and sat down at her table.

Blade: Hey, who are you?

Amy: I'm Amy...

Blade: I'm Blade.

Amy: O-Okay...

Blade: What's wrong?

Amy: I was in love with Sonic the Hedgehog, but he's with Sally Acorn, and he doesn't love me back...

Blade: That's a shame, because you're pretty cute.

Amy: Thank you...

Blade: Mind if I have a drink with you?

Amy: ...Not at all.

Blade: Good.

Back with Liam and Asonja...

Asonja sat in his apartment, waiting for the pizza to arrive. He couldn't stop with his "envious" look he sometimes had. He usually trailed off with the look too.

Liam came in with the pizza's.

Liam: Here I am with the pizza! Bon appetit!

Liam gave Asonja his pizza.

He blinked back to reality and looked at the pizza. He ate only one slice of the pizza.

Liam: Are you starving yourself out of depression?

"Uhhm...no?" He looked at him.

Liam was thinking.

Liam: *thinking* This mustn't register on an emotional level. First, exploit lies. Then gesture with pizza slice, Asonja denies his lies. Next, help Asonja eat more. Conclude with acknowledging compliment...

Liam: I know you're lying, Asonja. You're depressed because of your parents being murdered long ago, and now you're attempting suicide by starving yourself!

He seemed to jump back a bit, grunting. "W-what?! I told you I've been over that a long time ago it's not that anymore!"

Liam: Oh, sorry...I jump to conclusions too fast sometimes...

(I gtg, I'm going to a driving event for mentally disabled people tomorrow morning, so I have to go to bed early. See ya tomorrow.)

(I got no school tomorrow so I'll rp faster. Also, Initiate Phoenix Wright XD)

(Lawl. XD)

(WHY AM I STILL AWAKE AT 2 IN THE MORNING?! DX)

"It's fine...but it's somewhat on the lines of that, I guess you could say..." He mutters.

Liam: Yeah...You know, I know exactly how you feel about your parents...Because I lost my parents in a murder too...You know that guy called Joe Chill, from Batman? He murdered my parents when I was 5 years old, and because I was so young, I couldn't do anything...I was sent to an orphanage and got adopted when I was 8. That's how Blade and I met: His parents were looking to adopt a child because Blade's mom Zooey couldn't make any more children after Blade was born. Despite the death of my biological parents, I still make the most out of life. You should do the same.

"..." He groaned a little bit and looked away from him. "I just...can't. It's not that simple."

Liam: Why not?

"I don't know! It's like...I'm too scared to. I've done a lot of stupid things in my life and I refuse to make anymore mistakes by staying here in my apartment for the rest of my life, living off of Ramen and Root Beer that used to be with a tiny drop of Vodka..." He answered.

Liam: Dude, you're 16. You've got a whole life ahead of you. Get off your butt and do something with your life instead of sitting inside here all day.

Suddenly, Blade came in with Amy.

Blade: Hi, guys. This is my chick, Amy Rose.

Amy: Hi.

"Oh, hello." Asonja waved. His envious look in his eyes stayed going strong.

Blade: Amy, this is my little brother, Liam.

Liam: Hi.

Blade: And that's Asonja.

Amy: Nice to meet you two.

He nods. "Pleasure. Now, where were we Liam?"

Liam: As I was saying, do something with your life! Go paint, write songs or stories, find a hobby, do anything with your life!

"I am doing anything in life; staying at home and drink Root Beer" He shrugged.

Liam: *sigh* Anything but that...

"That's what you think. I'm not risking my life, time, and energy for something I won't even consider an achievement." He rolled his eyes.

Liam: You know what? Forget it, I give up. I tried, but he won't listen.

Liam angrily storms out of the apartment.

Blade: ...What the hell was that about?

"Liam is just wanting me to do something dumb or something outside my apartment." He groaned. "Nothing too special..."

Blade: Liam is right, Asonja. You should go outside your apartment and do something with your life. What happened to your parents is all in the past, and you should look towards the future.

Amy: Yeah, Blade is right.

(Sorry for my inactivity)

"I just...don't know exactly what to do. I don't know what my talents are, so why bother do something when you know you're bad at it or have no skill toward it?"

(It's fine.)

Blade: You could at least try.

"I don't know what to try, nor do I even want to..." He grumbled, sitting where he is still.

Blade: *sigh* Let's go, Amy. I can't help him either...

Amy and Blade left the apartment.

Late at night, in Asonja's apartment...

He was watching TV as usual with Root Beer. He seemed to look uncertain with what he's doing, but shakes it off and continues watching. "Stupid people and their born talents..."

Suddenly, the TV and the lights in the apartment turn off and the ghost of Donald Trump pops up in front of Asonja.

Trump: Asonja!

"GAH?!" He jumped behind his couch and peeked his head up. "Now I've seen everything..." He mutters and sits back down on the couch. "What do you want, Ghost Trump?"

Trump: I've come to warn you...You see these chains I'm wearing? These are my punishment for not having any love or sympathy for my people in life. 4 years ago, when I died, your chain was as long as mine, and with your pessimistic lifestyle you've only made it longer. But, there's one way to escape this fate. Tonight, three ghosts will come to you to help you change your ways. The first ghost will come when the clock strikes 1.

He was more confused than everything, but had the strange feeling to say a cliche phrase at this point. "Uhm...sure. I'm prepared for it at that time, I guess..." He says, highly uncertain.

Donald Trump: Good, because I'm out. I got my own fucking problems.

Trump's ghost then disappeared and the lights and tv went back on.

He blinks a few times, and continues to watch TV to try to forget what happened.

His phone vibrated at 1 AM. He turned the alarm off, confused as to why he set his alarm for 1 o'clock. "Huh...Nothing's happening." He says. "Ah well, back to my show."

Suddenly, a bright light started shining in the room, and from the light, Tommy Turtle, the Ghost of Hero's Past appeared. (If you don't know who he is, he's a deceased character from the Archie comics, Pre-Super Genesis Wave.)

(Never read the comics but thanks for telling me .3.)

He yelped and jumped back again. "Jesus Christ! A warning would've been great...so you're the ghost of my past, technically?"

(No problem. :3)

Tommy Turtle: Yes, I am. I'm going to show you your past to show you why you have become such a pessimist. You know it already, but I'm going to show it anyway. Hop on my back and we'll fly.

"Alright...that doesn't sound strange at all." He climbs onto his back, strange how it is perfectly solid.

Tommy then flies off to the past with Asonja on his back. Eventually they got there, landing on a school playground with a lot of little kids. Asonja recognized these kids as his old friends.

"Huh, I recognize them. They moved away a year after this.." He says, wanting to get off his back but was somewhat afraid of hurting himself, so he stayed on.

Tommy: Yes. Just so you know, these are shadows of your past, Asonja. They can't see you or hear you. Let's go inside.

Tommy walked into the school building with Asonja on his back. Asonja then saw his old teacher spanking his young self.

He was wincing every time. "I can still feel the pain and embarrassment..."

Tommy: You were always abused by your teacher, and was too scared to tell your parents because you were afraid your teacher would abuse you even more. Let's move on to the next shadow.

Tommy and Asonja then walked to the next shadow. It pictured Young Asonja and a young girl standing there.

Tommy: Do you remember that girl, Asonja?

"I think I do..." He narrowed his eyes toward her. "I can't remember her name though..." (Sorry for my absence)

(It's fine. Also, I'm a little pissed because of something that happened earlier tonight, just so you know.)

Tommy: That is Mary Kate, your first love interest. Let's see what happens.

Mary Kate: Asonja, I know you love me, but since the death of your parents, you've not been yourself. That's why I have decided to leave you. I'm sorry...Goodbye, Asonja...

Mary Kate then walked away from Young Asonja.

"Oh yeah...that's right," He says. "I remember feeling heartbroken because all I truly cared about was my parents. And now I feel helpless and pessimistic since I did nothing to prevent it." (Sorry to hear that. I won't ask about it.)

(Okay.)

Tommy: Do you regret paying less attention to your girlfriend now?

"Somewhat..." He muttered. "She was very sweet to me and all and I was too. Except when my parents died, it was all about me and how I couldn't do anything to stop it. She tried helping but I refused to accept it. That's when she left me. I wonder where she is now..."

Tommy: I don't know, because I'm a Ghost of the Past. Anyway, I think this is enough of the past. I'm sending you home. The next ghost will appear when the clock strikes 2.

Asonja then appeared back in his apartment. The clock then struck 2, and Comedy Chimp (From the Sonic Boom TV show. :3), the Ghost of the Present appeared.

Comedy Chimp: No time to relax. I'm the ghost of what's right now. I'm gonna show you what people think of you right now.

Comedy Chimp clapped his hands and suddenly, he and Asonja were in an alternate present. They were standing at the window of Liam and Blade's house. They then looked through the window.

(I'll type again after your turn.)

He was slightly confused at what was going on, but decided to follow along without protesting.

Blade was sitting on the couch, eating a pizza when two kids, a female hedgehog and a male fox jumped on the couch next to him.

Girl: Hey, daddy! When are we gonna go to Station Square Super Fun Park?

Boy: Yeah, we wanna go!

Blade: Well, kids, Uncle Liam is spending too much money on financially supporting Uncle Asonja, so I don't think we'll be going. In fact, we might not even have enough money to send you kids to school. (Yeah, I know, taken from an earlier RP, sue me.)

Both Kids: Nooo, daddy!

The kids start crying and Blade hugs them.

"What?!" He gets closer to the window. "Why is he financially supporting me?! He has kids to take care of!"

Comedy Chimp: Because you always refuse to work and don't earn any money yourself. Because of that, your surrogate niece and nephew hate you. But we're not done yet. Let's see how your ex-girlfriend Mary Kate is doing.

Comedy Chimp and Asonja then went to Mary Kate's house. She was playing a game of Monopoly with her new boyfriend and sons.

Mary Kate: You're doing really good, kids.

Son #1: Thanks, mom!

Son #2: I won!

New Boyfriend: Good job!

Everyone laughed.

He sighed, brokenheartedly. "She's so sweet...but now she's with a jock..." He groaned at that part. "Damn, why did I become so naive..."

CC: Well, it's your own fault for clinging to your dead parents.

Asonja then noticed something under Comedy Chimp's mantle. (Going to bed now. Bye.)

(Byebye.)

"They were the only ones that cared for me like a real person. And now I feel like I'm at fault for making my life worse..." He crossed his arms, seeming to look like he's in denial but was uncertain about it first.

Comedy Chimp then showed Asonja what was under his mantle: Two homeless children named Ignorance and Want.

He jumped back slightly, unnerved. "Uhh...who're they?"

Comedy Chimp: These are children who have it much worse than you. You're lucky you still have friends who financially support you.

Comedy Chimp then disappeared and Asonja was suddenly standing in a snowy Station Square, and next to him stood a tall, eerie spectre. This was Death, the Ghost of What's Yet to Come.

Death: ...

He stood just as quietly, but was more unnerved than anything. He backed up a bit, looking away from him. "Not now and not yet..." He mutters.

Death grabbed Asonja by the neck and carried him around the street. They walked past a group of people talking. They were about a recently deceased pessimist. Stuff from his apartment were being sold and it is really clear how the pessimist's death leaves the people cold.

Asonja just growled quietly, trying to get Death to loosen the grip on his neck. He thought, 'I thought nobody knew about me. Why're they selling all of my stuff?!'

Death: ...

They then walked to Liam and Blade's house and looked through the window. Blade was crying, because Amy and his kids had died from hunger. Amy and Liam tried to comfort him, but started crying too.

'He shouldn't have cared for me...I could've gotten a job, but it wasn't my fault they weren't meeting my standards...' He thought, rather guilty.

Finally, Death dropped Asonja to the ground at a graveyard. They were standing in front of a grave covered in snow.

Death: ... *points at grave*

He coughed a little bit, a bit unnerved still. He looked at the Grave, seeming to crouch in front of it. "I can't make it out. Who's grave is this?"

Suddenly, Trump's ghost appeared again.

Trump: Wipe off the snow and you'll see.

"Alright alright, chill. Build a wall around that impatience." He muttered the last part and began wiping off the snow little by little; he doesn't like snow very much since it's very cold. He finished with it eventually, seeing his own name on the grave. He stood up and looked away from it.

"Okay alright...this is freaking me the hell out right now. And you're telling me that I'm going to die in the near future, and this...stuff happens during so?" He was hiding a significant amount of fear.

(I see what you did there with the wall joke. :3)

Trump: If you do not change your ways, all of this will be true.

He groaned a bit. "Alright fine. I'll try something to fix this. I just don't know where to start really.."

Trump: You could start by apologizing to Liam and Blade. And afterwards, you can search for your hidden talent. Also, do not tell ANYBODY about what happened tonight, or else you'll end up being a ghost like me.

(Going to bed now. See you.)

(Kk. Bye.)

He nods. "Fine. I'll see what I can do for those things."

Trump nodded and he clapped his hands. Asonja was then back in his apartment, and no more ghosts will come.

"Phew...thank god that's over." He stood and stretched. "Now, where could those brothers be..."

Liam and Blade were both asleep at their house. Liam was dreaming about his favorite cartoon, Deep Sea Love as usual.

Blade was driving motorcycles and being badass in his dream.

Asonja peered into the window and quietly knocked on the window. He didn't notice he was standing in the same position the Ghost of the Present was showing him.

Liam woke up and walked groggily up to the window.

Liam: Huh...? Asonja...? But it's 3 AM...

He opened the window. "I know but listen to me; I've been...having some thoughts lately. I need your help along with Blade's help as I am going to find my hidden talent. With that, I can get a job so that you guys can stop financially supporting me."

Liam was confused at the last part, but dismissed it.

Liam: Alright then. Let's do that by morning, okay?

"I suppose." He nods. "I'll be going back to my apartment." He ran back.

The next morning, Liam and Blade were at Asonja's apartment.

Liam: Maybe we could try fashion designing.

Asonja groaned in the next room, as he was just waking up from his deep sleep. He rolled off the bed, making him fall to the floor.

Blade: You just woke up? Sorry about that. We'll just let you wake up and then we'll talk about it.

"It's fine...at least I'm up..." He grumbled and rubbed his eyes. "So, what have you guys come up with so far?"

Liam: We've come up with the following careers: Fashion designer, politician, talk show host, singer and a bunch of non celebrity careers which we'll go through later. Which celebrity career do you like the most?

"Well from the choices you have given me, they all don't sound worthy of pursuing..." He answers. "I am terrible with fashion, plus I'm not gay for that matter...maybe, but that's not the point right now. I am not going on stage to help fix the corruption Mobius is in right now, and I have a horrible singing voice."

Blade nodded and crossed all the celebrity careers off the list.

Blade: How about working for a big corporation?

(Sorry bout that.)

"I guess it depends? I dunno, I preferably work alone..."

Blade: I see. We'll think of something where you can work solo.

"Okay. Thanks guys." He nods and grabs something to eat in the fridge. They saw it was all Root beer and Ramen. Why would Ramen be in a fridge anyway?

Liam: Why the goat do you have Ramen in your fridge?

He opened his cabinets, showing the many Ramen packets and warm Root Beer in them already. "They'll last me for about a year."

Blade: Shouldn't you be eating more of variety?

"Well, that's the problem; I can't eat anything of variety because I have no money. And since Blade is paying my rent, from what I'm assuming, I have to care for myself now. And that's why I need a job."

Blade was confused, but decided not to question it.

Blade: I think I know the perfect job: Superhero. You know Batman? He prefers to work alone, but will take help whenever he needs it.

"That is a good idea, but I mean...I'm not really good at being a Superhero. Even if I haven't done it before, I know it will be hard. And I doubt I have done anything nice for the city here. I don't even have powers of the sort! I wish I did..." Asonja sighed and scratched his head.

Blade: Batman doesn't have any superpowers either, but he compensates by training himself to human perfection and also uses his massive wealth, superior intellect and advanced technology to fight his enemies. Liam and I can help you by providing you with gadgets.

"I guess that could do?" He sounded unsure. Since he's never done this before, he's more than likely to chicken out.

Blade: Tonight, I'll take you on a crime fighting trip. I got ski masks for both of us so people won't recognize us. My tactic of defeating enemies is to scare them. Feel free to come up with your tactics.

"O-okay...Uhh...I guess maybe tomorrow would be a better day? I'm not feeling like doing that right now..." He looked nervous.

Blade: Don't be nervous, Asonja. It'll be fun. You'll learn a thing or two about crime fighting.

"I'm a Pacifist, Blade. I'd never hurt a single soul, even if it's someone who's a criminal..." He sighs.

Donald Trump's ghost appeared again, and looked over Blade's shoulder and mouthed 'If you don't change, I'll fucking kill you.' at Asonja.

He sighed and scratched his head, highly uncertain. "But...what else do I have left to lose. Fine, I'll give it a shot..."

Blade: Sweet! Let's do it tonight then!

Trump's ghost disappeared again.

He nodded, so anxious that his hands were shaking a little. "Yeah. Sounds good."

That night...

Asonja and Blade were driving through the city on Blade's black motorcycle. They both wore black ski masks and were ready to ambush any criminals.

Asonja was slightly paler than last time before they got on the motorcycle. He was holding Blade rather tightly around his chest, groaning in what appears to be pain. "Uuugh, why did I agree to this...everything's spinning..."

Blade: Got motion sickness? No problem. I'll drive slowly.

Blade started driving slowly because of Asonja's motion sickness.

"It's not going to help that much but...thanks anyway..." He grumbled before dry-heaving to the side. "I told you riding a motorcycle wasn't the greatest..."

Blade suddenly stopped the motorcycle because he saw an old lady being robbed. Blade jumped off the bike, ran up to the thief and grabbed him by his shirt.

Blade: I'm going to tell you this friendly: Leave this lady alone or I'll hit you so hard, you're gonna see stars.

The thief gulped, gave the purse he stole back to the old lady and ran off.

Old Lady: Thank you, young man. I was really scared.

Blade: You're welcome, ma'am. Happy to help.

Blade got back on the bike and he and Asonja drove off.

Blade: I hope you learned something from what I just did.

"I wish I saw the whole thing; I almost blacked out from the Sudden G-force of you stopping the bike!" He says, turning back to green once the bike started moving again. It was also because he has low-blood sugar, which can be solved later.

Blade: It's fine. *inside his mind* What a failure...

Blade and Asonja then witnessed two guys standing on the road.

Thug #1: Stop the bike!

Blade stopped the bike gently so Asonja wouldn't black out.

Thug #2: Give us that bike!

Blade: No way! It's ours, so fuck off!

The first thug tried to grab Blade, but Blade knocked him out with a single punch. He then glared at the other thug, who fled in fear.

Blade: Did you see how I kicked his ass, Asonja?

"Yeah, I did..." He says. "Is that what you expect me to do?"

Blade: You only attack if the opponent attacks you first.

"Fair enough." He responds and stays silent through the entire trip, as well as trying not to puke.

The next morning, Asonja and Blade were sleeping in Asonja's apartment.

He was rolling around in bed, the blankets wrapping him like a burrito.

Blade was lying on the couch, snoring as if he was mowing down a forest.

Luckily, Asonja couldn't hear most of it, but several of it. The fan in the room helped muffle the sound.

Blade was dreaming about Amy.

Strangely, while Blade was dreaming, Asonja was awake. He seemed to be thinking to himself about why he feels so weak and powerless. "Why does everyone have powers but I don't?" He asked himself quietly. "It's like an affinity. But I don't have any of them."

Suddenly, Liam knocked on the door.

Liam: Asonja, you awake?

"Oh uh...yeah I'm still awake. You can come in." He answered, tiredly.

Liam entered the apartment.

Liam: So, how was your trip with Blade last night?

"It was fine. We stopped a few crimes from happening but it was mostly Blade doing everything. I was just sick the entire trip around town..." He sighed.

Liam: Gee, that's bad. Can we do something to cure your motion sickness?

"Motion sickness isn't curable, but it can be treated. I am not sure how." He responds.

Liam: Let me look it up on my tablet.

Liam got out his tablet and started looking up treatments for motion sickness.

Asonja sat down, looking around patiently.

Liam: Well, we could buy you some medicine to treat your motion sickness. Maybe Dramamine would be good for you.

"Perhaps that would be the best option." Asonja responds. He got out a Ti-84 Plus C Silver Edition calculator out and just started playing around with it.

(I was thinking of putting Emma in this. Or should we give Asonja a totally different girlfriend in this RP? Also, going to bed, I gotta take a blood test tomorrow.)

(You can go with whatever you see fit, Alex. Good luck tomorrow.)

(Thanks. Also, I was thinking we could make a Sonic version of your new gf Dominique. :3)

(That's up to you. I can give you a quick representation of what her character looks like; She's basically a Skunk/Fox hybrid.)

(Alright, let's do it then. You can play her. :3)

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Liam opened and a Skunk/Fox girl was standing there.

Liam: Hello. How can I help you?

(Just a quick note: She's a bit...manipulative towards me so it may be a complicated relationship.)

"Hi!" She smiles and waves for a moment. "Is Asonja here?" Her tail flicks as she looked around over Liam.

(I see. That's pretty...awkward.)

Liam: He's over here. *gets out of the doorway to let her in*

(I'm basically going to use her as what I WANTED her to be like)

She squeals and runs up to him, hugging him happily. Asonja smiled a bit and hugged back. "Hey! How was your trip?"

She looked up at him, smiling too. "It wasn't bad, though I was wishing you were with me. It got lonely REALLY quickly."

Asonja looked slightly surprised. "Oh really? Well I'm sorry I couldn't come with you. Anyway, I'm with Liam and Blade for a while as they're trying to help me become a better person, like getting a job and money and sorts so we can live a better life."

The skunk/fox hybrid squealed happily. "Oh boy! I can't wait!" Her tail was wagging a lot.

(Okay, sure. Btw, how's Dom doing? Just curious, 'cause you friendzoned her the other day.)

Liam smirked.

Liam: Oh, ho, ho, ho! You guys are dating?! That's so cool!

(She's fine, but I might give her another chance. She may be manipulative but she can be sweet sometimes.)

"Yeah, I thought I didn't want to tell you about it. It's kind of awkward to tell anyone about it." Asonja says while Dominique kissed him on the cheek once.

(Girls have their plus sides and minus sides. It's best to look at the plus sides. Do whatever you feel is right.)

Liam: That's so cute. <3

Blade then woke up and sat up.

Blade: *groggily* What's going on...? We got a visitor?

"Yeah. This is my girlfriend. I call her Domi." Asonja says. She waved to Blade in an energetic manner.

Blade: *waves back and yawns* Nice to meet you. I'm Blade, and this is my little brother Liam.

Liam: Hi.

"You guys look so adorable!" Domi says randomly. Asonja couldn't stop being so flustered.

Liam blushed and Blade rubbed his neck.

Liam: Thanks.

Blade: Yeah, you're pretty cool.

Domi giggled and continued to hug Asonja. "So, what's everyone been up to lately?" She asks.

Blade: I'm currently a finalist on Mobius' Got Talent.

Liam: I might start a singing career together with Blade.

"That sounds great!" Domi says, putting her hands together happily. "I hope you both do well! Now, Asonja and I are going to need some...alone time for a while..." She smiled lustfully at Asonja who seemed to blush a bit more. "So if you two wouldn't mind if I stayed here for the night?"

Liam: Sure, you can stay here for the night.

Blade: Yeah, we have a house of our own anyway.

"Thanks~!" Dominique says, about to walk Asonja to his room but stops and turns back to them. "Oh uh, one more thing real quick! I saw you last night." She casually points at Blade. "I saw you with him last night and I'm guessing you were trying to cheer him up a bit with his...depression problem?" She asked. It was as if Dominique knew about Asonja's depression.

Blade: Pretty much. Well, Liam and I will be taking our leave now. See you tomorrow!

Liam and Blade grabbed their stuff and walked back to their house.

"Bye bye~!" She waved goodbye to them, as well as pushing the unprepared Asonja lightly into his room, locking the door as well.

A day passes, in the early afternoon. Asonja was supposed to be up at this time, but he was still sleeping.

(I bet they were banging. >:3) (They probably were >3>)

Blade knocked on the door.

Blade: Asonja, you awake?

After a few minutes, Asonja opened the door, Domi in the bed. Her tail was hung off the side of his bed, as if the tail was checking to see if he was there. "Yeah, I'm here." He yawned without giving off his morning breath. "What's up...?"

Blade: I decided to check on you. Liam is back in 2036 visiting our parents and I'm alone today. That's why I decided to come over here. What have you and Domi been up to yesterday?

He blushed in response, looking back at Domi. "We uh...we were just hanging out and chatting, that's all. She also asked if she could sleep over and such." He answered. "Will we be going out again in the streets?"

Blade: Yep. Also, next week is the Mobius Got Talent finale. Will you and Domi be there?

(Also, how's the real Domi?) (A friend of mine, the ex girlfriend that I've had for a week xD) (Alright.)

"Domi will probably be there, I'm not sure if I could go." He scratched his head. "But if I get the chance, I'll come there. So, off to the streets then?"

Blade: Yep. Let's go.

Blade and Asonja got onto Blade's motorcycle and drove off.

Blade: Do you have medicine for your motion sickness yet?

"Should be here by tomorrow or so..." He groaned, nauseated.

Blade started driving slower so that Asonja wouldn't be as nauseated.

Blade: This better?

"It's a bit better..." He says. "Did you find anyone yet?"

Blade: Not yet.

Suddenly, Blade heard a scream. He saw a burglar running away.

Lady: Help! That guy stole my wallet!

Blade drove over to the guy, but someone else got over there first. A blur homing attacked the burglar, knocking him out. The blur stopped to grab the purse, and it turns out he looks like Sonic the Hedgehog.

Blade: What the? Uncle Sonic?

???: Here's your purse, ma'am.

Lady: Oh, thank you. I wish there were more people like you.

The lady gave the hedgehog some rings and walked off.

Blade: Who are you?

???: Me? I'm Tank. Tank Acorn, a descendant of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Asonja just blinked a few times, slightly confused at what's going on. The late reaction of Blade's quick 180 degree turn and high speed increase soon smacked Asonja in the face as he fell to the side of the motorcycle, almost about to puke.

Tank: Uh, what's up with your friend?

Blade: He's motion sick. Anyways, I'm Blade Eastwood and this is Asonja.

Tank: Alright. Say, are you guys hungry? I know a place that sells good Chili Dogs.

Blade: Sure. Lead the way.

Tank nodded and he ran off, but slow enough for Blade and Asonja to keep up with him.

Blade: I like this guy, Asonja. If he's a descendant of Uncle Sonic, then he must be awesome.

He groggily got back on the motorcycle. "He is." He responded. "I can tell by his features, attitude, and his appearance. He has Sonic's eyes, attitude, and speed abilities. He obviously is one of Sonic's."

Blade nodded. Eventually, Blade, Asonja and Tank found a chili dog truck. Tank paid for the chili dogs and the boys were eating.

Tank: So, what were you guys doing?

Blade: We were looking for justice to serve.

Tank: I feel ya. My dear old papa taught me everything about justice, and I've been serving justice ever since I was a teen. I'm currently Prince of Mobius in my timeline, and as first born male, I'm heir to the throne.

Blade: That's really cool.

Asonja hasn't seemed to touch his chili dog at all. It was still warm and freshly cooked. He also seemed quiet and out of the conversation as he just listened more than talking.

Tank: I know, it's really cool. *notices Asonja hasn't eaten at all* Hey, Asonja, why are you so quiet and not eating your chili dog?

Blade: I'll explain.

Blade then explained Asonja's tragic past to Tank.

Tank: Ah, I see. That sucks.

Blade: I know.

Tank: Asonja, I know you miss your parents, but you got a whole life ahead of you. Try to live life to the fullest in the time you have. My ancestor Sonic said that too.

"I understand that, by God I do." He responds. "But the thing is, that I am not comfortable going out to the world at this current moment. I cannot withstand the misfortune or the judgmental comments about myself 24/7..." He shakes his head a little bit. "What I'm saying is; I'm too afraid and weak to do so."

Tank: Alright, it's your choice.

"Well, what else can I do? You and Sonic have your 'special powers' and I get stuck in the dirt because I don't do jack-shit." He responds, probably a bit too hastily. "I'm not strong, I'm not fast, nor do I have any powers in general so all I do is hide from the mistakes I've made from the past because I can't. Change it." He poked his finger on the table during the pause at the end. "Yet everyone expects me to and it's getting on my nerves. All I want to do is stay home and just watch Television. Because it's all I'm worth." He sits back with his arms crossed, seeming to be final with his hasty choice he said. He wasn't expecting anyone to talk back, nor agree with him.

(I gtg, my dad asked me to go to bed. I won't be on tomorrow night, because I'll be watching The Voice of Holland then. I'll be free this weekend. See ya!) (Later bud.)

Blade: Asonja, you won't change because you won't even try! If you don't try, you can't do jack-shit! You helped me when I was doubting my abilities, and now I'm gonna do the same with you, and Tank is gonna help!

Tank: Blade is right. Let's go train your abilities!

A training montage then started while 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor played.

During one of the montages, Asonja was seen struggling to do pushups and collapsed. His score was a measly 5. On another montage, he didn't last even 30 seconds on a treadmill on speed 5 as well as not even CLOSE to bench-pressing the single bar itself. This was going to be a longer montage than anyone had ever asked for.

Blade and Tank often gave Asonja something to eat and to drink, and gave him lightweight dumbbells to train with.

It was slightly easier for him to follow, but he still had signs of very low stamina and other attributes that cause him to slow down and soon dissipate from the exercises.

Tank: Okay, that should be enough for now. Be sure to train regularly to get in shape.

Blade: Yeah, this should keep you going for a while.

(I'm going to bed soon, so we can RP this weekend if you're free then.) (Mkay)

"If I'm...dedicated enough for it, maybe..." Asonja panted and rolled onto his back. "We'll see..."

Blade: Okay then.

Tank: Well, I'll see you guys soon! Catch you on the flip flop!

Tank then ran off.

(Let's skip to the Mobius Got Talent finale? :3) (Oh, yeah, sure! Sorry, I was busy doing real life things.)

The next week, at the Mobius Got Talent finale...

Vector: He's an old soul in a young man's body, and he can sing really good. For the finale, he chose the song 'This Is A Man's World' by James Brown. This is Blade Eastwood.

Blade was standing on the stage in a black tuxedo. In the background of the stage, spinning fans were being projected. Blade started singing and blew everyone away. After he was done, the crowd cheered and Vector walked up to him.

Vector: Seriously, I'm making such a deep bow for you right now, how you're standing here and all. Great job, son. Alright, Rouge.

Rouge: Look, Blade, we've heard this number time and time again from many singers, but I've never heard it as good as from you. Adding to that, you're a very special kid, and this show has basically brought you everything you could ever dream of, I mean, you've been viewed millions of times on GooTube, and that brought you everything you could ever dream of, and yet I hope you win tonight.

Blade: Thank you.

Vector: Alright, Simon.

Simon: Yes, Blade. Nice outfit, by the way. Look, you've got a really old soul inside of you, I mean, you sing like you're way older than you actually are, I mean, you're only 17 but you have the experience of an age 30's person. Never in this talent show have I met someone, whom we will hear A LOT from in the future.

Rouge: I hope so!

Howie: Yes, Blade, in all the privileges I've had working on Got Talent whether it's in Empire City or here in Station Square, you might be my favorite candidate. And whether you win or lose, it doesn't really matter, because everybody's gonna know you, and we're gonna be hearing a lot from you, no doubt.

Vector: Last, but not least, Cream.

Cream: Mr. Blade, you're such a great singer. I'm gonna close down all exits of Station Square, because you can't leave us. You're ours. But on a serious note, like Mr. Simon said, you sing way older than you actually are, and the only thing you can do about it is maintain and train it, but something I really give you credit for is how relaxed you're standing here after everything you've been through, like a real performer, because you indeed look really good like this, and you owe all that to yourself.

Vector: Well, it's time to go backstage and prepare for the final round.

Sometime later, Blade, along with 8 other finale acts was standing on the stage in spotlights.

Vector: Okay, all 9 of you acts have made it to the finale. I will now name acts that will be eliminated. If you're eliminated, your spotlight will go out and you'll have to leave the stage. This will go on until 3 acts remain. Now, the first act to be eliminated is: The Karate Girls. The second act to be eliminated: Quatrobar. The third act to be eliminated: B-Boy Lil Justy. The fourth act to be eliminated: The Fresh All-Stars. The fifth act to be eliminated: Unbreakable. The sixth act to be eliminated: Doris.

All eliminated acts left the stage. Blade and two other singers remained on the stage.

Vector: It's now between you 3 gentlemen. I want to ask all the viewers at home to vote for the winner.

Once the voting was done, Vector started speaking again.

Vector: Okay, the voting is closed, and we're gonna announce the person who finished third: Bob Bulleé.

Bob was escorted off the stage, because he is blind and can't see where he's going himself.

Vector: Blade, Mart, it's between you two now.

Blade and Mart held each other, really nervous.

Vector: The winner of Mobius Got Talent 2016 is...

Liam: ...

Tank: ...

Vector: ...BLADE EASTWOOD!

Blade jumped up and down in happiness as Mart clapped for him and the crowd cheered loudly. Vector gave Blade a check of 25.000 rings as Liam and Tank jumped onto the stage to congratulate Blade. The eliminated acts came onto the stage to congratulate Blade as well.

(Are Asonja and Domi there too?) (I think Domi is at Asonja's apartment at this time, so no.)

Asonja just nodded somewhere in the crowd secretly applauding himself. "Of course he wins. That kid's got nothing on anyone else." He said to himself WAY under the cheering crowd.

Later, Asonja, Liam, Blade and Tank were at Liam and Blade's house.

Blade: I'm so happy! I can't believe I won!

Tank: You did a good job, homie.

Liam: You sure did! You deserved it!

"I'll admit, it was quite the performance." Asonja replied somewhere else in the area.

Blade: I know! Let's celebrate with some delicious pizza!

"Sure, I'm up for it." Asonja said casually. "Small, All Cheese please, if you don't mind."

Blade ordered pizza for everyone. Later, they were eating their pizza's.

Tank: Hey, Asonja. Do you have a girlfriend? If so, have you thought about kids?

"I do have one, yes." Asonja answered. "But I do not plan on having children though." He barely touched his pizza.

Liam: Asonja, you have to eat something.

Tank: Yeah, don't starve yourself, because you're skinny as Shaggy Rogers from Scooby-Doo.

"I...I know, it's just that I'm not hungry currently." Asonja answers. "That's why I asked for a small cheese pizza." Usually when he doesn't eat, something negative is going through his brain currently.

Liam could notice this.

Liam: Is something negative going through your brain right now, Asonja?

"Uhh....not..really?" Asonja answered uncertainly. "What's it to you...?"

Liam: I think whenever you don't eat, something negative is going through your brain.

"Okay...uhm...I suppose you could say that." Asonja said, looking down a bit.

Blade: Hey, it's fine. You can talk to us about it.

Tank: Yeah, we'll be fine with it.

Liam: Exactly.

"I guess. I was just looking back on the mistakes I made in the past. Nothing too big of a deal." Clearly it was, since he's been thinking about it for a long time now.

Liam: It appears that it is a big deal, because you've been thinking about it for a long time now.

"Look, I'll talk about it another time, okay?!" Asonja distressed. "I can't talk about it right now, I'm sorry!"

Liam: ...If you say so. But then you actually have to tell us, alright?

"I might, I don't know." Asonja relaxed slightly. "But I just can't talk about it right now."

Liam: Okay.

Liam, Blade, Asonja and Tank spent the entire night watching Smosh and drinking Coca Cola. The next morning, they woke up in the living room.

Liam: Woo, that was quite a party.

Blade: You know it. I enjoyed it.

Tank: I know. Well, I gotta go. My dad might freak out if I stay away from the 22nd century for too long. Bye guys!

Tank left the house.

Blade: Asonja, you there?

He was still asleep, rather very asleep as he hasn't moved from the moment he took a nap.

Blade: He's asleep. Let's move him onto the couch.

Liam nodded and he and Blade moved Asonja onto the couch and gave him a blanket to sleep under.

Liam and Blade both noticed how extremely light Asonja was. It was either their immense strength or Asonja's dangerously low weight.

Liam: Man, Asonja is extremely light.

Blade: Yeah, he really needs to eat more.

Liam: Let's let him sleep first.

Blade: Okay.

Liam and Blade went to the tv room upstairs.

Asonja awoke 2 hours later in the middle of the afternoon. He groaned and rolled off the couch, but continued to lay there on the floor. "Don't even feel like moving today..." He grumbled.

Liam and Blade came downstairs and saw Asonja on the floor.

Blade: Looks like you finally woke up. By the way, you're as light as a fly.

"Thanks for telling me; I've been aware of that for quite some time..." Asonja grumbled as his face was to the floor.

Blade: What's the matter?

Asonja picked his head off the ground. "'What's the matter' is the most relevant question. Well, Domi and I had to break up for some reason so...I'm alone again."

Blade was shocked.

Blade: Are you serious?!

"Yuuuup." Asonja said, now laying on his back. "First girlfriend lost under a whole week. Think of the chance of that."

Liam: That's a shame, man...Want to have a drink?

(Maybe we could put Emma in this now?) (Maybe. I'm not exactly sure yet, and I do apologize for my absence; I went to watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It was pretty good) (It's okay.)

"Drink of Vodka or Scotch?" Asonja asked, looking at the two of them with his vision upside down.

Liam: Something non-alcoholic, please...

"Oh. Uhhhm...Vodka-infused Root Beer! No wait, Cherry Vodka. That's a good one. Really hits the brain quickly." Asonja adds.

Liam sighed.

Liam: Fine, I'll get you some...

Liam went to get Cherry Vodka for Asonja.

Blade: *inside his head* Alcoholic bowl of depression...

Liam then came back with the Cherry Vodka.

Liam: Here's your stupid Cherry Vodka, you alcoholic piece of poop...

"Thanks mate." He takes the bottle, opens it and drinks probably about a cup of it. He 'aah'ed afterward. "Alright, I'm good to go now."

Blade: Good. See you later.

Blade then opened the front door to let Asonja out.

Asonja gets up, taking the bottle with him out the door. "So, what's next on our list of things to do?"

Blade: I don't know. I'll call you when we're ready.

"Sure. I'll take the Metro back to my apartment. Thanks for the party. Call me tonight if you want to go out and...do whatever we used to do during late nights or something." Asonja says and walks to the subway station.

Later that night...

Asonja and Blade were driving through Station Square in Blade's Blademobile.

Blade: So, how do you like my Blademobile? I made it in my spare time.

"It's...pretty unique I'll give you that." Asonja said, rather impressed. "The gyroscope was a nice touch; I hardly feel motion sick."

Blade: No problem. Now let's catch some thugs.

Suddenly, Blade spotted Trevor Phillips from GTA V harassing someone.

Blade: It's that murderous psychopath Trevor Phillips. I'll handle this, Asonja. This guy's too dangerous for you.

Asonja grumbled and crossed his arms. He stayed in the car.

Blade got out of the car, ran up to Trevor and proceeded to beat him down. Trevor tried reaching for a gun or a knife, but Blade managed to handcuff Trevor. He then called the police.

Later, the police arrived and they arrested Trevor. The police thanked Blade and they left with Trevor. Blade got back in the car.

Blade: Okay, I'm back. Let's continue our journey.

"Mhm." Asonja nods. "Let's go."

Blade started the car and they drove off. After driving for a while, Blade saw a pink echidna (Emma. :3) being held at gunpoint by a thug wearing a black ski mask. He stopped the car and handed Asonja a Pump Shotgun.

Blade: This one's all yours. Good luck. You'll need it.

(You're welcome to control her for a bit if you want x3)

"Uh EHH" Asonja fumbled with the shotgun for a moment because he lost his grip. He managed to grip the gun and looked at Blade in concern.

"Are...you sure I can do this? I mean...I never held a gun or used a gun before...!" Asonja blinked a few times, obviously worried.

Blade: If you believe, you can do everything! Now go and save that girl!

Thug: Give me your purse, lass!

Emma: N-Never! I need this money to buy medicine for my autistic brother!

Thug: I don't care! Give me your purse, for Chaos' sake!

Emma: S-Someone, help me!

Asonja shivered a bit, but growled and held the gun tightly. He got out of the mobile and cocked the gun at the Thug. "Oi! Get out of here or I'll blow your brains out!" Asonja shouted, except there was a bit of fear in his voice as he tried masking out his fear with intimidation.

The thug turned around.

Thug: What are you gonna do about it? You're so scrawny, you can barely lift that gun!

Asonja narrowed his eyes and shot the gun. He purposely made the gun miss so that the bullets whizzed past the Thug's face and completely away from the Echidna.

"You think I'm playing around? I won't miss next time..." Asonja cocked the gun again, and made his way toward the thug. Blade could've sworn Asonja was glowing purple for a moment as Asonja's fear was completely gone from his eyes, and all that was left was the complete intention on getting rid of the Thug.

The thug gulped, put Emma's purse in her hands and ran away.

Emma: Thanks. You saved me.

Asonja put the gun on his shoulders like he was carrying two buckets on each end. "No problem, miss. It's not safe out here, obviously. My friend and I would be more than welcome to drive you home if you wish."

Emma: Sure, I'd really like you to.

"Alright. Follow me." Asonja says and motioned her to Blade's car. Asonja placed Emma in the front of the car and placed himself in the back. Possibly a sign of his loyalty? Who knows.

Blade: Where to, ma'am?

Emma: Ohmigosh! You're Blade Eastwood! I saw you win on Mobius Got Talent last night! Congratulations!

Blade: Thank you. I'm pretty happy about it myself. Anyways, where to?

Emma: The 24/7 pharmacy. I need to buy medicine for my autistic brother.

Blade: Very well.

Blade started the car and drove off to the 24/7 pharmacy. Once there, Emma got out of the car and returned once she had bought the medicine.

Emma: Okay, I got the medicine. Can you bring me home now?

Blade: Sure, if you could give me directions.

Emma: Okay.

Emma gave Blade directions to her house. Once there, she gave Asonja her phone number.

Emma: Here, Mr. Hero. This is my phone number so you can call me. I'm Emma Capulet, by the way.

Asonja took her number, seeming to lightly smile. "T-thank you, Emma. I'll be sure to call you when I get to my apartment. My name is Asonja Masenko. Call me whatever you wish."

Emma: Okay, but I'll need your number first.

"Oh yes, of course!" Asonja got out a small slip of paper and put his number in. He then handed his number to her. "There you go, Emma. If you ever want to meet, I'm in the apartment by 27th Street, 3rd floor, room 331."

Emma: Okay, see you soon, Asonja!

Emma got out the car and walked up to her house. Blade started the car and drove off.

Blade: Looks like you're scoring with the ladies, huh, Asonja?

"I suppose so. I can't get anymore than one anyway." He says, moving himself to the front of the car.

Blade: Well, we did good for tonight. I'll drop you off at your apartment and then I'm heading home.

Blade dropped Asonja off at his apartment.

Blade: Good night, Asonja!

"Good night Blade. Thanks for the ride home." He shuts the door to the car and walked to his apartment.

Blade smiled and drove back to Liam and his house. Once there, he parked the Blademobile in their garage and walked inside.

Liam: Hi, Blade. How did it go with Asonja?

Blade: It went well. We got a few evildoers and Asonja scored with a lady.

Liam: Ooooh, interesting! So, what do you feel like doing now?

Blade: I feel like going to bed.

Liam: Me too. Good night, Blade.

Blade: Good night, Liam.

The next morning, at Asonja's apartment...

Tank knocked on Asonja's door.

Asonja groaned and crawled his way to the door. "Hold on, Hold on...I'm still tryin' ta recover from last night..." He grumbled and used the door to help him up. He opened the door and saw Tank. "Oh hey...uh...you. I forgot your name already..."

Tank: I'm Tank, Sonic's descendant. I came here because I wanted to ask you something: 'Would you like to take a trip to the future with me?'

He blinked a few times. "A trip to the future you say...? How far are we talking?" He asked.

Tank: The year 2109, where I'm from.

"That seems pretty far...alright. As long as I'm back here in one piece, I'll be coming along." He replied.

Tank: Okay, let's do it then!

Tank stepped inside, locked the door of Asonja's apartment and opened a time portal. He then took Asonja through the time portal and they were standing in the courtyard of Castle Mobius, 2109. Tank closed the time portal.

Tank: Welcome to 2109!

Asonja adjusted his glasses for a moment to get a slightly better view. "Wow...this place did change in the course of a hundred years...Impressive."

Tank: It sure has. I'll lead you around the city of Portal, Angel Island.

Tank took Asonja through town and explained to him where everything was. Once they did that, Tank took Asonja for breakfast at the local café. Tank had a sandwich with cooked egg and cheese.

Asonja just seemed to have whole milk. He doesn't eat much anyway. "It's interesting how machines here go against the laws of physics from what I'm hearing from people. Creating milk out of thin air? I find that to make sense in a way." He drank from the glass. "And it's completely organic too..."

Tank: I know. But the technology in your time is pretty impressive too. (Going to bed now, cya later!)

(Later)

"True...but not as good as this. I mean, if you think about it, we've always lived on the Laws of Conservations. They state; 'Mass, Energy, Momentum, and Electricity can neither be created nor destroyed, they can only change forms.' This technology probably still applies these laws but at a much thinner and more incredible scale. I can only assume that it takes elements from the outside world and converts it into something else. It's entirely possible, and this proves its existence."

Tank: Yep. I live in an incredible world with incredible features. It's really nice.

Suddenly, a yellow fox, a light blue rhino and a white elephant entered the building.

???: Hi, Tank!

Tank: Hey, Lloyd! Hey, Ronnie! Hey, Charlie! I brought a visitor from the past.

The three boys looked at Asonja.

Lloyd: He looks cool!

Tank: Asonja, these are my friends. This yellow fox is Lloyd Prower, a descendant of Tails and Cosmo.

Lloyd: Hi.

Tank: This light blue rhino is Ronnie Rafferty. He comes from a country musician family.

Ronnie: Howdy.

Tank: And this white elephant is Charlie Davis. His parents are rich business people.

Charlie: Yo.

"Pleasure to meet the three of you." Asonja replied normally.

(I changed it, because there's three guys.) (Whoopsies)

Tank: So, what are you guys here for?

Ronnie: We wanted to go ride on our Extreme Gear. Wanna join us?

Tank: Sure! You up for it too, Asonja?

He looked pale for a minute. "Extreme...gear? You mean those hoverboards? I uh...don't do well on those actually..."

Tank: That's a shame. Well, you could always watch from the ground then. Let's get going!

Tank and his friends went to get their Extreme Gear, and once they got it, they went to an open spot to race.

Tank: Okay, Asonja, you can stay here if you like.

He nodded and sat down. Like normal people, he would be having more breakfast but he just sat there with his small empty glass of milk next to him.

Tank and his friends backed up a bit, ran, jumped onto their Extreme Gear and sped off. Suddenly, Asonja saw a huge castle flying high in the sky.

He looked up at it, rather surprised. "What the heck is that...?"

Suddenly, rays of light started shining at Asonja, and he was teleported to the castle.

"GAH?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" He was freaked out a bit, doing a strange kung-fu stance thing.

A young Angelfox was standing in front of Asonja. He had angel wings on his back.

???: Welcome. You must be the Chosen One.

"Chosen...One?" He asked, verifying. He got out of his strange pose. "For what?"

???: Our Angelbian prophecies have foretold that one day, a black hedgehog in a trench coat would be summoned to Angel's Temple to defeat the evil monster named Kholes. For hundreds of years we have waited. And at last, that day has come. My name is Francis, I'm an Angelfox living here at Angel's Temple. Angelbians help people on Mobius with certain problems, like finding true love or building up a reputation. Anyways, let me take you to the training courtyard.

Francis took Asonja's hand and they walked over to the training courtyard. Once there, Francis gave Asonja an old training sword.

Francis: I'll tutor you in swordsmanship. We keep monsters at Angel's Temple to train young Angelbians in the arts of various weapons. Bring out the Slimes! (From Dragon Quest. :3)

Suddenly, a group of Slimes hopped into the courtyard. They were innocent looking, but were still hostile. (If you wanna know what a Slime looks like, go to the link down here.)

☀http://dragon-quest.org/wiki/File:DQ_Slime.png

"Aww..." Asonja muttered a bit. "But it looks so cute, I can hardly swing my sword because of it's adorableness."

Francis: Hmmm...Maybe something a bit more threatening should help. Slimes, return to your places!

The Slimes hopped back out of the courtyard.

Francis: Bring out the Knights of the Underworld!

A bunch of Dark Knights marched into the courtyard and they pointed their swords at Asonja.

"WHOA SHIT!" He jumped back and brought his sword up. But his strength was very low so he had to use two hands to hold the sword, even if it's for one hand. "Okay, that's a bit more threatening..."

Francis: Don't worry, they will go easy on you, because you're in training. I will show you how to thrust and parry. (I don't know sh** about swordfighting, and frankly, I don't care either. I only use swords in RPG games.)

Francis took out his sword and showed Asonja how to swordfight by sparring with one of the knights. Once that was done, Francis walked back to Asonja.

Francis: Okay, did you get all that?

He nodded, but still looked worried. "S-sure...let's go with that..." (Apologies for my absence. Spent Christmas for a while.) (It's fine.)

Francis: Okay, time for you to spar with one of these guys.

A Dark Knight walked up to Asonja.

Dark Knight: Good luck, you'll need it.

"I will need all I can get, sir..." Asonja replied back as he tightened his grip on his sword. He was visibly shaking, but was trying to control it as he went in for a swipe.

The knight parried to defend himself from Asonja's attack. He then thrusted his sword at Asonja.

Francis: Now! Parry to defend yourself from the incoming attack!

Asonja did so, but was at a highly uncomfortable position. This caused him to lose his balance from the impact, which made him stumble back a bit and grimace.

The knight then showed an open spot for Asonja to attack. (How come you're still awake at this hour? XD)

(I'm an Insomniac, I'm telling you >~<) Asonja noticed it and swung at the open spot. Obviously, the sword was a bit too heavy for him without the proper training, and just by the way he looked, anyone can tell that he wasn't a fan of working out.

(Damn, that must be tough. o.o)

The knight was hit in the open spot, but still continued fighting. He thrusted his sword at Asonja again.

Asonja stepped back, narrowly dodging the sword. He attempted to swipe back, but couldn't exactly aim right since the sword to so heavy for him, though any beginning warrior could easily pick up the sword.

Francis noticed Asonja had trouble handling the sword due to his lack of muscle.

Francis: Looks like your lack of muscle is giving you trouble. Let me help you.

Francis used his Angelbian magic on Asonja to pump up his strength. Asonja's muscles grew a lot more stronger, making it easier for him to hold the sword.

He was surprised by this sudden change, as he went back to holding one sword. With this, he kept up with the Black Knight, parrying, dodging, and countering flawlessly. This was a massive change.

Francis was happy his power boost helped Asonja. His improved fighting caused the Dark Knight to get tired.

Francis: Okay, time out! That was great, Chosen One!

Asonja stopped his fighting, and brought the sword back. "I am surprised that muscle was all I needed to fight...and some bits of courage too. I lacked both things." He said before turning to Francis, and lowered his sword. "So, now what's on our list of things to do?"

Francis: I will now take you to my mentor, Noah. Dark Knights, you can rest.

The Dark Knights went back to their bedrooms as Francis guided Asonja to one of the higher levels of Angel's Temple, where Francis' mentor, Noah was waiting.

Francis: Master, the Chosen One has arrived!

Noah turned around to look at Francis and Asonja. Noah was a middle aged Angelbat, who had angel wings instead of bat wings and wore a toga.

Noah: So...Has he trained yet?

Francis: Yes, he has.

Noah: Good, good. So...Asonja, you're the Chosen One of Angel's Temple. Our prophecies have foretold that you will defeat the evil dwarf king named Kholes. We can get you ready for your journey here at Angel's Temple. I will send Francis along with you on your journey. But first, we must give you enough items so you'll stay toasted during your travels.

Noah gave Asonja a backpack.

Noah: This backpack is small on the outside, but it has much more room on the inside. Also, have 1000 rings. Now go shopping around Angel's Temple to buy the stuff you need, then come back here.

Asonja nods, takes the backpack and went around the place. He bought mainly food and camping supplies, but it took him a long time because he kept getting lost every 5 minutes; his sense of direction wasn't the best somehow, though he wasn't like this before.

Once he got everything, seeing how his backpack could lift just about any huge object and no overflow, he found his way back to Noah and the others.

"I have returned with all of the supplies, with about 15 rings left to spare." He stated.

Noah: Good. Now, before you go, take this.

A white sword appeared in Noah's left hand. He gave it to Asonja.

Noah: This is a Heavenly Sword. You're gonna need it to defeat any hostile monsters during your journey. Now, I wish you good luck, and may you fulfill your destiny as the Chosen One. Francis will be going with you, so turn to him if you need any advice. On your way now, Hero!

Asonja's heart was beating faster than he had ever imagined; he would never think that he would be any kind of hero in general, but yet he was treated like one even before his journey. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly before looking up at Noah again to ask one final question:

"If, by any chance, if I could use two swords?" He asked. "I kind of like using two swords for mobility and technique. It's alright if I can't, I'm just wondering."

Noah: Of course you can.

Another Heavenly Sword appeared in Noah's hand. He gave it to Asonja as well.

Noah: Francis, here are your supplies.

Noah gave Francis a bag with supplies. Francis tied it around his waist.

Noah: Good luck, you two. May you save Mobius from Kholes.

Francis nodded.

Francis: Well, Asonja. Let's go down to Mobius.

Asonja nods and sheathes his two swords. "The sooner, the better."

(I wish Asonja could be like this in a canon roleplay. XD)

Francis used his Angelfox magic to beam himself and Asonja down to Mobius. They spawned about 30 miles away from Angel Island.

Francis: I have a map that leads to Kholes' hideout. It's east of Angel Island. Let's go!

Asonja nodded again and followed Francis to the location. He's been rather silent through the whole thing, but he looked like he was contemplating over using a third sword to fight. The only question was, how could he use that third sword? He decided to think on that further.

Suddenly, Asonja and Francis were ambushed by agressive tigers.

Francis: Look! It's some agressive tigers! Let's show them what we're made of!

Francis got out his rapier and waited for Asonja to get his swords ready.

He got his swords out, and seemed to say something in a different language as he got in a stance. "Nitōryū ... Nanajūni Pondo Hō!" (Two-Sword Style: 72 Pound Cannon). With this, he slashed the air quickly, and the tigers were blasted away as if Asonja had blasted an invisible cannon from the swords. He stood there, confused at what he just did and said.

Francis' jaw dropped at what Asonja just did.

Francis: Whoa...Dude, what did you just do?

Asonja was just as shocked. "I...don't know. It just came into my head, I said it, and boom that happened."

Francis: Well, whatever it was, it was amazing! Let's continue our journey!

Francis walked off towards Kholes' hideout.

Asonja followed, seeming to look at his swords. "They don't damage me, but yet they can do huge amounts of damage to enemies. Incredible."

Meanwhile, Tank and his friends were racing on their Extreme Gear. Suddenly, Tank saw Asonja and Francis.

Tank: Hey, what's Asonja doing down there with that dude? Let's go look.

Tank and his friends then rode down to Asonja and Francis.

Tank: Yo, Asonja! Whatcha doing?

He then noticed Asonja was physically stronger.

Tank: Hey, did you hit the gym really quickly?

"It's a long story, Tank." Asonja stated, his swords sheathed at his sides. "Francis here can explain it more than I can."

Francis: Yes, I can.

Francis then started explaining it to Tank and his friends. They listened with a lot of interest.

Francis: And now we're on our way to Kholes' lair to defeat him.

Tank: Can my friends and I come along?

Francis: That depends on what Asonja wants. So, do you want them to join, Asonja?

"I mean, if they really want to." He answers.

Tank: Okay, thanks, Asonja!

Tank and his friends then put their weapons on their back. Tank had an axe, Lloyd had a laser gun, Ronnie had a staff and Charlie had two katana's.

Tank: Lead the way.

Francis: Okay, let's go.

Francis walked onwards, with everyone following him.

While taking this time, Asonja still contemplated on having a third sword. He was getting some ideas too, but then decided it was a good idea to contemplate on two-sword style moves. He wanted to figure out how he knew how to speak Japanese and make a move such as making a Cannon by slashing his swords.

Eventually, after a long journey, Asonja and co. made it to Kholes' hideout. A group of dwarfs was guarding the entrance.

Dwarf #1: Look! It's a bunch of losers!

Dwarf #2: Let's get them!

Tank and his friends used their weapons on the dwarfs until there were two left.

Tank: These are all yours, Asonja.

He nods and gets in position to bring out his swords, but he seemed to rush ahead of the dwarves and appeared behind them. They then noticed they couldn't move, and their armor was just sliced in half. They were unharmed, but they couldn't seem to move.

Dwarf #1: Hey, we can't move!

Dwarf #2: How is that possible?

Asonja smirked and suddenly, slash wounds appeared on the dwarves' chests, knocking them back. "Perhaps it was because I went so fast, your bodies didn't even notice that they got slashed. You're welcome." He looked to the rest of the team. "I believe the way is clear."

Ronnie: Okay. Lead the way, Mr. Francis.

Francis: Okay.

Francis entered the lair and the rest of the team followed. Eventually, they were standing in front of Kholes, the evil dwarf king.

Kholes: So...The Chosen One and his team have arrived...I didn't think you'd come...But now you will taste despair...Prepare to get crushed!

Kholes got out his magic staff and started fighting the group. Francis, Tank and his friends started weakening Kholes enough for Asonja to defeat him.

Asonja had stayed back upon this, as he had studied what he could do. Once he figured out what to do, he got in position and said, "Nitōryū: Nanajūni Pondo Hō!" as he slashed with his two swords, creating a swirled slash that hit the Dwarf King directly.

Kholes was knocked back by the attack.

Kholes: Oof...Now, that's an attack that packs a punch...But it's not enough to defeat me!

Kholes got up and used his staff to create a lightning bolt that struck Asonja.

With this attack, he got blasted back to a wall. He stuck there for a minute before falling to the ground, and shaking a bit from the electricity. Soon, he became pretty limp afterwards.

Tank: Grrr...You hurt Asonja...Prepare to get crushed!

Tank jumped and smacked Kholes with his axe, which did a great amount of damage.

Kholes: OW!

Tank then ran over to Asonja.

Tank: Are you alright, buddy?

He coughed and his arms shook as he tried to get himself up. "Y-yeah...I'm fine...though I'm going to be here to recover...do you think you could buy me some time?"

Tank: Of course we can. Stay here.

Tank then smacked his axe on Kholes as Francis swung his blade. Tank's friends then helped too.

Asonja got up slowly, picking up his swords again. "Come on body...don't fail on me..."

Francis, Tank and his friends then got out of the way so Asonja could attack Kholes.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes shined purple. His body exploded with purple aura as he dashed toward Kholes quicker than he ever has before with both swords drawn. He jumped higher than about 10 feet and swiped the swords down. Even though the swords were all the way up in the air, two slices were made on his shoulders making deep cuts.

Kholes screamed in pain.

Kholes: Impossible...Unthinkable...I cannot be defeated by lesser beings such as these...I cannot...I must not...

Kholes' eyes then closed as he blew out his last breath. Kholes was lying on the ground, dead.

Francis: Asonja, you did it! You defeated the evil dwarf king and fulfilled your destiny as the Chosen One!

He landed on his feet, his aura disappearing. He panted and withdrew his swords. "Yeah...quite the adventure, I should say."

Tank had a huge smile on his face.

Tank: I'm proud of you, Asonja! When I first met you, you were a weak pessimist who always doubted himself, and look at you now! You're now a hero!

He looked at his hands for a moment and looked back up. "Yeah. I am. Who knew that I just needed a push and I'd be all for it."

Francis: Let's go back to Angel's Temple to celebrate.

Francis then beamed himself, Asonja, Tank and his friends up to Angel's Temple. Later, a ceremony was held to honor Asonja.

Noah: Noble Asonja, we give you our thanks from the bottom of our hearts for defeating that foul dwarf king Kholes. I want to thank your friends as well for helping you in your task, and for that, I present you all with these Angelbian Medals.

Noah then put medals around the necks of Asonja, Francis, Tank and his friends. Rays of light then shined down on them as Angelbians cheered.

Asonja looked down at his medal, and held it to get a better look at it. "I don't think I have ever seen a reward before."

Noah: Let's celebrate now!

After that, Asonja, Tank, his friends, Francis and the rest of the Angelbians had a big party. They ate big plates of fruit and there were all sorts of things you would expect to see at a party.

Later, after the party...

Francis: Well, Asonja, it's time for you and your friends to go home.

He nodded. "Yeah...after a party like that, I don't think I could even eat for another day. I had a hunch that we were overstaying our welcome."

Francis: The heavenly swords are yours to keep. After all, a hero like you is worthy of possessing such swords. Make sure you visit sometimes. Bye for now!

Francis then beamed Asonja, Tank and the gang back down to Mobius.

Tank: Well, I suppose it's time for you to go back to 2016.

"Yeah." Asonja says and nods. "It's New Years Eve there too if I remember correctly, so it'll soon be 2017. I also got someone to call too. It was nice meeting you, Tank. I'm sure you made your parents proud."

Tank: Yeah, I bet. Well, good luck! I'll come by some time!

Tank then opened a time portal so Asonja could go back to 2016.

He waved and jumped through the portal, only to appear at his apartment at 11:00 PM, December 31st 2016. He looked around for his phone and the number he was given by Emma. "Dang it, where did I put it..." He muttered.

The time portal closed and Asonja heard someone knocking on his door.

"Oh." Asonja jumped a bit. "That's probably her." He says to himself as he opened the door.

(Sorry if I'm responding frequently. I'm writing a rap battle.)

Liam, Blade, Amy and Emma were all at the door.

Everyone: Hi, Asonja!

"Oh hey, guys!" he replies and moves so everyone would come in. Turns out that Asonja had forgotten about his muscles and his swords.

Liam: We came to celebrate New Year's Eve with you.

Blade noticed Asonja's muscles and swords.

Blade: Whoa, what's up with the muscles and swords?!

"Oh yeah." Asonja looked at himself and then back up. "It's too long of a story..."

Emma: Please tell us! We want to hear it!

Amy: Yeah!

"Well I suppose. I went 100 years into the future, met some Angelfoxes, I think, and they deemed me as the Chosen One to kill this demon Dwarf King. I killed him along with Blade, Tank, and Liam, we partied, I got this medal," He showed it to them while talking, "and I came back here."

Liam: We were never with you on that adventure, but that's still epic!

Amy: Yeah, you're amazing!

Emma: *hugs Asonja* You're a hero!

Blade: Yeah, you sure are. *inside his head* I'll never be as lucky as him...

Asonja chuckled a bit and hugged Emma back. "Thank you guys. Thank you."

Liam: Well, let's turn on the tv.

Liam closed the door and walked over to the tv to turn it on. Everyone except Blade sat down on the couch. Blade was sitting in Asonja's bedroom, looking out the window with a depressed look in his eyes.

Asonja had went to his room to get something, but saw Blade. "Oi, what's up with you? You tryin' to impersonate me or something?"

Blade: Huh, what? Oh, no, it's nothing...

Blade obviously sound like he was depressed.

Asonja looked a tad bit concerned and sat down a little bit to him. "Dude, it's okay for me to be the depressed one around here, but it'd definitely not okay for you to be depressed. What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Blade: ...Well, it's just that I'll never be on your level...I mean, I'm just a soul singer while you're the Chosen One of an angelic race...I'll never top that...

"Well, I'll tell you this." Asonja crossed his legs and arms. "You just keep doing what you're doing now, if it makes you happy. I know you're concerned about me and your other friends, I appreciate that but, sometimes, you just need to worry about yourself. We got a new year ahead of us, so now would be the time to come up with a resolution, and act on it. I could go back to 100 years in the future to where I became the Chosen One, and maybe, I can negotiate with the angelic race there so they could give you jobs to fight off strong enough. Hell, maybe we can become partners in crime again in future. What do you think?"

Blade: I suppose I could come up with a New Year's Resolution and work on it...Okay, I'll do it. Thanks, Asonja. I'll do my best.

"And you better work your ass off with it because I want to see some improvement at the end of 2017." He pats Blade's back and gets out. "Come on, everyone's waiting on you to see the ball drop."

Blade nodded and he walked out the bedroom and stood with Liam, Amy and Emma. They count down until the clock struck midnight. Amy and Blade kissed and Liam and Blade hugged. Emma kissed Asonja.

Asonja had blushed and actually returned the kiss back to Emma. Soon, they partied with Tortilla chips with salsa and a variety of sodas and pizzas. The thing was, how did Asonja get all of these snacks and drinks all in a split second?

Liam, Amy and Blade wondered that but ate their pizza and drank their soda anyway.

Liam: My New Year's Resolution is to work on my ambitions.

Blade: My New Year's Resolution is to work on my hero career.

Amy: My New Year's Resolution is to spend more time with my friends Cream and Big.

Emma: My New Year's Resolution is not to fight with my brother too often. What about you, Asonja? What's your New Year's Resolution?

"Hmm..." He thought about it for a moment. "To be a brave warrior? That sounds like a good one, I wasn't given much time to think about it." He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.

Emma: That sounds like a pretty good resolution.

Liam: Yeah.

Blade: Say, Amy, feel like having some fun at my house?

Amy: Sure, Blade. Well, we'll get going. Bye, everyone!

Emma: Bye!

Liam: I'll stay with Asonja for the night if that's fine with him.

He shrugged. "Sure. I don't mind it. You two have fun now."

Blade nodded and he and Amy left.

Liam: So, what do you guys feel like doing now?

Emma: I don't know. I'll leave it up to Asonja.

"Well, I was thinking that we could either drink/eat some more and then plot into bed. You're welcome to stay over night, Liam, if you want. The couch is all yours."

Liam: Sure thing. I don't want to disturb Amy and Blade, so I'll sleep here for the night.

Liam then ate some more pizza.

He smiled lightly and then patted Emma's head. "Want anything else before we head into bed?"

Emma: Yes, I'd like a fruit smoothie.

He nods and gets up. He was about to go into the cabinet to get the ingredients, but there was nothing there. He closed the cabinet for a moment before opening it again, and a strawberry smoothie materialized.

"Uhh...okay? That's odd..." He muttered to himself as he picked the glass up. It had a rather sandy texture to it at first, but then it felt like actual glass. He shrugged and gave it to Emma. "Here ya go."

Emma: Thanks, Asonja.

Emma drank the smoothie and then watched a little more tv.

Asonja was thinking about how, in a logical sense, the smoothie materialized in an empty cabinet, particularly where it's filled with dust. (If you look in Asonja's page, you'll find out why :3)

(Is it because of him being a Hybrid?)

Liam finished his cheese pizza.

Liam: Man, cheese and onion pizza is my favorite.

Emma: I don't really like onion on my pizza, but yeah, cheese pizza is nice.

After a while, Emma decided to go to bed.

Emma: Well, I'll go to the bathroom and then I'm going to bed. You coming, Asonja?

Asonja nods and smiles a bit. "Of course. I'm getting a bit tired too."

(That's part of it. Identities have the ability to shapeshift and create anything with these things called Nanites. The guides can explain them much better than I can.)

(Okay. After this edit, I'm packing in for the day.)

Once Emma went to the bathroom, she got into Asonja's bed.

He had joined in with Emma, but forgot to close the door. He was about to get up to close it, but the door shut itself the minute Asonja held up his hand to get it. He sighed a bit and shook his head, basically saying he'll look into this another time before laying down to sleep.

Emma was already asleep and took no notice of Asonja's ability. Liam was asleep on the couch, dreaming about pretty babes.

The next morning arrived and Asonja still slept. He sleeps until the afternoon.

Liam and Emma were already awake, and they were watching a reality show called Wade + Eight (A parody of some sh***y reality show called Kate + 8) on CLC (A parody of TLC).

Liam: How can anyone like a reality show about a single father raising 8 kids is beyond me.

Emma: It has some kind of charm to it, in my opinion.

Liam: If you say so...

Once the afternoon rolled in, Asonja had woken up. Once he got out of bed, his skin started to manipulate clothing on him like sand was crawling on every inch of his body and then turn into silken cloth. It turns out Asonja didn't notice this as he got out of his room to see Emma and Liam.

"Morning you two..." He said tiredly and yawned. His trench coat was still materializing by the sand-like particles.

Liam: Uh, why the heck are your clothes materializing onto you?

He looked down at his developing trench coat, and it finished materializing. He looked back up at the two. "Well, I thought it over yesterday. Turns out my parents were Identities, a special kind of species that can do these kinds of things. Also, turns out that if I don't get exercise or anything important for my core, I can die. Anytime."

Liam: In that case you should keep exercising if you want to stay alive.

Emma: Yeah, I'll help you train.

Asonja looked at his already-pretty-big muscles and said, "I think I already have enough muscle for one thing..."

Emma: Okay, but be sure to get stuff for your core so you won't die.

"That'd be a tragic story to tell," Asonja says as he goes to the fridge. He looked around in the fridge, though everyone knows that it's empty. Asonja then pulled out a root beer that wasn't there before and drank from it. "Perhaps I'll walk to the cafe, get something to eat, and that'll be my exercise for the day."

Emma: Okay. Have fun.

"You two have fun as well. Lova ya, Emma." He walks out of his apartment, and the sound of a hoverboard being used was heard until it faded away.

Emma: So, Liam, what do you feel like doing?

Liam: I don't know. Maybe visit a sports game?

Emma: Sure. I really like indoor volleyball. Can we go there?

Liam: Sure.

Liam got his bottomless wallet and he and Emma left. Liam had written a note and put it on the door. He locked the door and put the key under the doormat.

Time passed, and Asonja had just gotten back from the cafe. He had ordered take-out and he went inside. He actually used his finger as the key, as his finger gained spikes on it like the key under the doormat. Once he opens the door, his finger went back to normal, turned all the lights on, and got comfortable. Of course, leaving the door open to let some cool air in.

Liam and Emma went to an indoor volleyball game and enjoyed themselves. Liam took a selfie of him at the volleyball game and posted it onto his Chaobook (Facebook) account.

"Sounds like you two had fun, huh?" Asonja asked to himself, as he was looking over his own account. He liked the picture and went to eat.

Suddenly, Amy and Blade walked in.

Amy: Hey, Asonja.

Blade: How's it going?

"Pretty well. Anyone wants Burgers and Fries? I went to the Cafe for a small exercise routine. There should be plenty left for you two."

Amy: Sure, I'd love some.

Blade: Yeah, me too.

Amy and Blade sat down and ate some burgers and fries.

Blade: Should we tell him, Amy?

Amy: If you really want to.

Blade: Well, you wanna know why Amy and I went home last night? Well, we banged.

Blade had a naughty smile on his face.

Asonja just had a light smile. "Good on ya." He says. It could be that Asonja wasn't a sexual person, but more on the lines of a romantic.

Amy: I know right? Blade is so good in bed. *sighs happily as hearts come off her*

Asonja just chuckled a bit. "Glad you two are doing great together. Emma and I are doing well together as well. She's with Liam at a volleyball game.

Amy: Nice. I hope they're having fun.

Blade: So, did anything interesting happen while we were away?

"Not really, no." Asonja said, though he already looked he was hiding something. Blade can always see Asonja lying, even if Asonja does not look phased.

Blade: Don't lie to me, Asonja. You're hiding something, and we wanna know.

"Look, if I were to tell you, you'd flip the heck out. Trust me, you don't wanna know." Asonja kept scrolling the TV, seeming to stand his ground.

Blade: You can tell me anything. I won't tell anyone.

"You sure? I mean, several people already know but not in much detail." He sighed and turned off the TV. "Fine. Have you ever heard of the 'Identity' race?"

Blade: Not really.

"Well, they're basically artificial beings." Asonja said normally, not looking at Blade for a moment. "I know an Identity but she's doing her own thing right now. She could explain it better than I can. Well, the thing is, I'm a Hybrid Identity, meaning that I am part Identity."

Blade: So you're some type of robot?

"Nonono, not a robot. Identities have skin like sand, but not actually sand. They're called Nanites or something. They can shapeshift and create stuff, I think. Like I said, I cannot explain it very well for you to understand, so how about I just do this." He took a knife and cut off his left hand. Then, sand particles from his arm began to fill in the gap, creating a new hand like nothing happened. "See?"

Blade: Wow, that's pretty impressive.

Amy: Yeah. To be honest, I kinda freaked out when you cut off your hand, but I'm glad you're okay.

"Luckily I have a high pain tolerance, which is a perk for Identities. But, to my guess, I stay as the original form of the father, while I have the perks of the Identity mother." His arms turned into black blades, and formed normal. "Freaky"

Amy: Okay, Asonja, you're starting to creep me out.

Blade: Well, feel like going out crimefighting with me again tonight?

"Sure." Asonja's arms turned back to normal and stood up. "Also, sorry Amy for creeping you out. I'm rather bored anyway so I do things to cure my boredom. Such as going crimefighting."

Blade: Okay, I'll see you tonight then.

Amy: Well I'm gonna go home now. I'll see you boys later.

Amy hugged Blade and then left.

Blade: So, what do you feel like doing right now?

"Hmm..." Asonja thought for a moment before he held out his hand to form a rather cool looking guitar. It looked like an acoustic guitar but the casing around it was obsidian color, and the wood looked to be from maple. "Why not play a little song to get our hype up for tonight?"

Blade: Sure. I know a song by Ed Sheeran. Hit it, Asonja.

He brought out a metronome and set it to the tempo of the song. He let it tick 4 times before Blade would play.

Blade then started playing The A Team by Ed Sheeran. He started singing while he played the guitar Asonja gave him.

The guitar that he played was glorious. It sounded perfectly crisp, the strings automatically toned themselves to the scale that Blade played, making it sound even better. What Blade didn't know is that this guitar was learning the song that Blade was playing, so the next time Blade wanted to play the song again on that guitar, it would play itself by his recorded strokes.

Blade then finished playing.

Blade: That was nice to sing. Want me to play something else?

"Play to your heart's content, Blade. Or, play until your voice goes numb." Asonja shrugs. "That guitar's all yours."

Blade nodded and played a few more songs on the guitar. He did this until he got bored.

Blade: Okay, that's enough. It was fun to do.

Suddenly, Asonja could see a silver hedgehog (Not Silver) leaning against the building in front of his apartment with his head down.

"Eh? What's he doing here?" Asonja asked. "Was he listening to your music?"

Blade looked at the hedgehog.

Blade: I don't know. Hey, you!

The hedgehog raised his head.

???: *depressed tone* What is it...?

Blade: What are you doing here?

???: *depressed tone* Does that really matter to you...? *sigh* Fine...I'm just hanging around this block a bit, because I'm depressed...

Blade: Okay? Well, come up here so you can tell us.

???: Okay...

The hedgehog walked up to Asonja's apartment and entered.

???: Who are you two anyway...?

Blade: I'm Blade Eastwood and this is Asonja Masenko.

"Take a seat here and tell us what's up." The hedgehog noticed a stray seat had just appeared between Blade and Asonja. It was a mahogany chair with a black cushion with royal purple lining.

The hedgehog was confused, but sat down anyway.

???: Well, I'm Spark the Merhog, and I'm Prince of Mertopia...I was originally the son of Sonic the Hedgehog and Merna the Merhog, but when Sonic got together with Sally Acorn, I traveled back to this timeline to get Sonic to change his mind, but he refused because he loved Sally...Then some old alien dude called 'The Doctor' came and he tried to resolve the conflict by giving me 6 months to find a new father or I would be erased from existence...I'm not sure who would make a good dad, though...

"Hmm....this is quite the problem." Asonja said. "You got any ideas, Blade?"

Blade: *thinking* Hmmm...Maybe my little brother Liam could be a good dad. He might be half your mother's age, but I'm sure he'll be a nice dad. One thing, you'll probably look a bit different.

Spark: Okay then...Where's that little brother of yours...?

Blade: I don't know. Where's Liam, Asonja?

"I thought he was at the volleyball game with Emma."

Blade: Okay.

Suddenly, Liam and Emma walked in.

Liam: Hi, guys! We're back!

Emma: Yeah, the volleyball game was really fun!

Blade: Great timing, Liam. We've got a visitor who could be your future son.

Liam: Really?

Blade: Yeah. This is Spark, and he's the Prince of Mertopia. He needs a father to be with his mother, Merna.

Liam: Merna? It's funny you should mention that, because I've been dreaming about a girl called Merna for a while.

Blade: Okay. Maybe Spark can take you to see Merna?

Spark: Of course I can. I'll take Liam to the underwater city of Mertopia. Let's go.

Liam nodded and he followed Spark out the door.

Emma: So, what should we do now?

Blade: I don't know. I'll leave it up to Asonja.

"Well, I've been tired a lot lately. It might be something to do with my system, so I'll be taking a nap real quick in my room. Emma, you wanna join me?" He was walking to his room.

Emma: Sure.

Emma walked into Asonja's room. Blade sat down on the couch and started watching tv.

Later, after Asonja's nap...

He had opened the door in his new clothing, which, did not look as different as his old ones. "Alright, so, what's on the list for today?"

Blade: Well, we could go fight store robbers. Let's get to the Blademobile!

When Blade blinked, Asonja was gone. Then, the sound of the Blademobile's horn sounded. Seems like Asonja has found a better way to get around places.

Blade: Sounds like he got it. Well, I'm going. See you soon, Emma.

Emma: Okay, I'll look after the apartment. Be careful.

Blade: I will.

Blade then walked out the door and got into the Blademobile. He drove off. Soon, they were driving through Station Square.

Blade: Those Identity powers of yours are pretty damn cool.

"I figured so." Asonja laid back against the seat. "Now I can be even lazier, but it'll come with a cost, though." He didn't seem to validate exactly what that meant, though.

Blade: Okay? How come?

"Well, from what I have learned previously, Identities contain a life-force known as the Core." Asonja tried explaining, in much detail. "Basically, if I don't power up my Core, I could die in any moment's notice. And since my core is corrupted from my emotional issues, my demise will be even more depressing."

Blade: Christ, in that case you should keep powering up your core. We want you around longer.

"Perhaps I have a few years left in me, a few months at the least." Asonja leaned back as far as the seat would let him. Suddenly his eyes shined a purple color before going back to normal. "Turn left at this intersection."

Blade nodded and turned left.

Blade: And now?

"Just look up ahead." Asonja pointed calmly. Up ahead seemed to be people screaming and running away as a black lizard had a flamethrower and it blasting it at everybody.

Blade: This one's mine!

Blade drove at the lizard, stopped the car, got out of it and aimed his Grenade Launcher at the lizard.

Blade: Freeze!

The lizard stopped its barrage of flames and just looked at Blade. Asonja stayed in the car, seeming to be calm at a situation such as this. "Good luck, you're gonna need it..." Asonja mutters.

Blade: If you do not comply, I will be forced to fire on you.

The lizard continued to stand there and look at Blade.

Blade: You leave me no choice, sir.

Blade then fired a grenade at the lizard.

The lizard set fire to the grenade, which caused it to explode early before impact. The explosion and smoke created a diversion for him to escape. "Hmm..." Asonja grumbled a bit. "He's smarter than he looks apparently. This'll be a tough one."

Blade: We gotta find him.

Blade got back in the Blademobile and drove off to find the lizard.

He actually got away fairly well, and he was no where to be seen. "Shoot, even I can't find him. He's too damn good."

Blade: We'll find him eventually.

Blade drove further. As they drove, something came into Asonja's mind: Blade always talked about his old father Tails, but never about his new father Dave. Maybe he should ask him about him?

He shrugged at the thought, giving it a shot. "Hey uh, I know this is rather personal, but how come you don't talk about your...other dad?"

Blade: You mean Dave? *sigh* To be honest, I don't really like him...I only let him become my dad so I could be alive...I don't really love him like a true father, and that makes Liam rather sad...But it is how it is...In fact, I even ceased contact with my new dad ever since Liam and I settled in this timeline...

"Jeez...having parents must be cruel." Asonja said normally. Of course, he was naturally born with parents, but he can't exactly remember his parents, nor know who they were. He just knows he has a brother somewhere in the world.

Blade: Well, everyone's got their opinion on one of their parents...And I don't really like my new dad...

Blade continued driving.

(Sometimes, people whose parents are divorced cease contact with one of their parents. For example, a Dutch vlogger named Enzo Knol has divorced parents and now he doesn't want to talk to his dad anymore. And to be fair, I respect their choice, yet it also makes me emotional. I don't know why.)

(Ah. I never met the guy so I wouldn't exactly know how you would feel.) (I don't know him personally, but that stuff is on the internet, so that's how I know it.)

Asonja continued to look around for the lizard. Then, he says, "Take a sharp right, and then a left at that intersection. Cut right through, he's in that area."

Blade nodded and sped off in the directions Asonja gave him.

Sure enough, the lizard approached. Suddenly, Asonja got out and stood on the hood of Blade's mobile. "How about I give it a shot this time?"

Blade: *reluctantly* Sure...

"I'll try not to wreck your car." He jumped off from the mobile, and stood feet away from the lizard. The lizard shot fire at him, but Asonja quickly dodged out of the way, only to be seen in the air. He seemed to go into position as if he were to kick the lizard, as he was now doing super quick front-flips.

"Collier Shoot!" He shouts and kicks the lizard in the neck, and it shoots off into an empty building. The front flips were for him to gain momentum for a stronger kick.

Blade: *inside his mind* I'll never be as good as him...

Asonja teleported next to Blade. "I can teach you how to do that, if you want."

Blade: Can you read my mind or something?!

"Well, no." Asonja shrugged. "I just assumed that you're still jealous of me, and I'd be willing to teach you my style of fighting that I'm...suddenly good at."

Blade: Okay then. Let's go to my special training field outside the city.

Blade drove the Blademobile to his special training field. Once there, he got out of the car and got ready.

He got out and stood in front of Blade. "Alright...this style of fighting is hard to do, but once you get the hang of it, your legs would be steel. Just because we're friends, doesn't mean I'll be going easy on your training. I don't want to hear any complaining or whining. Understood?"

Blade: Got it.

"Now..." Asonja got some sand and it formed a dense punching bag. "Keep kicking this with both of your legs. No punching, no breaks."

Blade nodded and started kicking the punching bag with both his legs.

"Pretend it's like your worst enemy. Kick it even if your legs start to hurt. I don't want any back-talk, understood!" Asonja kept pestering Blade for him to go faster and hit harder.

Blade pretended the punching bag was Cosmo and kept kicking until he knocked it off it's chain. He panted.

Asonja nodded. "Nice, nice. You're getting it. I believe your legs have increased their durability, speed, and strength by now." He examined them just by standing there. "It appears that way. Now, how about a little Physics lesson to help your attacks? I'll try to make it easy for you to understand, and it'll make sense. I did it earlier with the lizard." He turned the punching bag into a chalk board, and a student desk. The chair scooped Blade up and placed him behind the desk.

"Are you ready? No math is required, so, that's a good thing." Asonja shrugged.

Blade: Sure, let's get to it.

"Alright. So, as you could recall from earlier, you saw me spin very quickly and kicked my opponent at a building a block away. Well, there's a thing called momentum. Momentum is conserved all the time, meaning that if I were to punch you at my hardest, you would feel how much force I gave you exactly. The more momentum, the more force will be applied, meaning the stronger your attacks will be. Physics will be your best friend in fighting."

Blade nodded.

Blade: Interesting. That should help me become stronger.

"Exactly. Once you become a projectile, or make yourself one, use gravity as your speed and the mass of your foot as your power. Now, tell me, how much do you weigh?"

Blade: 50 lbs. (Idk how much that is in kgs, because I don't live in America. XD) (You can tell me in kgs, that totally works.) (I'll stick to lbs.) (kk)

"Hmm...alright." Asonja started to mutter to himself, doing math of the chalk board. Just the sight of formulas left and right would crack anyone's brain. A few minutes later, he finishes and circled an answer, 1,125 N. He made the chalkboard vanish along with the desk and chair, yet Blade didn't fall over.

"Now then, let us take a break, shall we?"

Blade: Yep. Let's get a burger. Can you teleport to the nearest fast food joint and get me a burger with no pickles and extra onions and ketchup?

He nods, vanishes, and a minute later returns with a bag. "Gotcha covered."

Blade smiled and got his burger. He sat down in the Blademobile and started eating. After he finished his burger, he started looking on his Chaobook profile. Blade's profile said the following things:

Blade Eastwood

Job: Independent Crime Fighter

Relationship Status: Taken

Blade then looked at the posts made on his page so far. One of his friends, Sonia the Hedgehog (Yes, Sonic's sister.) posted: 'Where have you been hiding, player? My bro Manic says you still owe him 10 rings from last April.'

Blade: Man, I totally forgot about paying Manic back those rings!

"I'll give you time to give him those. We can start training again tomorrow."

Blade: Okay, thank you. Can you get home by yourself?

"Yup." He snapped his fingers, and teleported to his apartment.

Blade closed the door of the Blademobile and drove off to Sonia and Manic's apartment with 10 rings he had in his pocket.

Asonja was probably wondering how he became friends with Sonia and Manic.

He was, but had to sit down on his couch for it. "Huh...I didn't even know that Sonic even had siblings..."

Emma: Hey, sweetie. How was your trip with Blade?

"Hey hun." Asonja smiled. "It was alright. Though, I'm quite tired and hungry." Asonja puts his arm around her.

Emma: Good to hear. I'm making some Chili Dogs right now. I also cleaned the apartment while you were gone.

He looked around to notice. "Oh! It looks very nice! I'll clean it up next time so you don't have to, alright? Thank you for doing all that for me."

Emma nodded.

Emma: Okay!

She went to check on the Chili Dogs. She got the sausages ready, put them in the buns and put the chili on them.

Emma: They're ready!

"Coming!" Asonja turned off the TV and went to Emma to look at the Chili Dogs. "I've had Hot Dogs before, but I've never had Chili Dogs though. I bet it tastes delicious."

Emma: It's the favorite food of Sonic the Hedgehog, he said this in an interview. That's why I decided to make them.

Emma took one of the Chili Dogs and ate it.

Emma: Mm, spicy but delicious.

"Interesting..." Asonja took a Chili Dog and took a small bite. "Hmm...this is actually really good. I love the flavor and the spice."

Emma: Glad you like it, sweetie. ^u^

He smiled and chuckled as he ate the rest of it. "I always love your cooking, ya know."

Emma: That's so nice of you to say! ^u^

Asonja nods and gave her a kiss on the cheek before sitting back down on the couch and turning on the TV. He patted the seat next to him for her.

Emma sat down next to Asonja.

"What do you want to watch, sweets? Control's all yours."

Emma: I want to watch...Hotel Impossible. (It's one of my favorite tv shows right now. It's on Travel Channel and features hotel expert Anthony Melchiorri, who runs a hotel himself.)

Emma then turned the channel to Travel Channel so they could watch Hotel Impossible.

(Ah, interesting. I usually watch Ghost Hunters or shows resembling to those on the Travel Channel. I'll look into it later) (One of the downs of Hotel Impossible is that after Anthony leaves, the owners sometimes still do the stupid things they did when Anthony arrived. But most of the time, they follow Anthony's advice.)

Asonja sat there and watched the show with his arm wrapped around Emma's shoulders, his hand drooping at the side.

Eventually, the episode finished.

Emma: That was a fun episode. It's a shame the owners didn't follow Anthony's advice, though...

"Yeah...I was hoping for that." He patted her left shoulder. "Now then, I do believe a nap time is in order tonight." Asonja says as he gets up and stretches.

Emma: Yeah, let's do that tonight. I mean, it's daytime right now, and usually, I don't sleep during the day. So, what do you wanna do until then?

"Whatever's on your mind. I'll do anything that suits your needs to be as comfortable as possible."

Emma: Maybe we could go swimming?

"Hmm...perhaps something that doesn't involve me drowning. I, don't recall learning how to swim and I don't want to make a fool out of myself..."

Emma nodded.

Emma: Hmmm...Then how about we go to a movie?

"Sure. What movie?" Asonja checked his wallet, of course, not having anything in it.

Emma: Let's go to Astro Wars.

Asonja shrugs, agreeing. "Alright. I'm up for it."

Emma nodded. She then grabbed her purse and walked out the door.

Asonja tagged along with her, not bothering to bring his empty wallet. He closed and locked the door before heading out.

Eventually, they made it to the cinema.

Emma: Hello, two tickets for Astro Wars, please.

Ticket Stand Worker: Sure thing, ma'am.

The worker gave Emma the tickets as Emma gave him the money. She and Asonja then went inside, ordered popcorn and something to drink and went into the movie room. The movie then started.

Asonja hasn't said anything during all of this. He just drank his soda and shared his popcorn.

After the movie was finished, Emma and Asonja walked outside.

Emma: That was awesome!

"I was surprised myself." Asonja stated. "I don't usually go out of my apartment. That was, like, the first time I stepped into that theater too."

Emma: Well, there's a first time for everything. Well, how about we go take that nap?

Asonja nods, shrugging at her true statement. "After all that popcorn and soda, I can feel the caffeine drop."

Emma: Alright, let's go home then.

Emma then walked to Asonja's apartment.

Asonja took off his trench coat, leaving just his tanktop and shorts. "Come along now, the bed won't sleep itself. And I surely can't sleep alone."

Emma nodded and took off her pants, leaving just her t-shirt.

Emma: Have a good nap.

Emma got in bed and fell asleep.

Asonja had fallen asleep, not knowing what position he had taken while he was unconscious. He had woken up in the early morning due to small bits of stress and had went to make some coffee.

Liam knocked on Asonja's door.

Liam: Helloooo? Liam here!

Asonja opened the door while he stood at the kitchen drinking his coffee. A pile of sand lazily drooped at the front of the door into the carpet. "Morning, Liam. Where's Blade?"

Liam: He's having a Baby Shower at Amy's house. He got Amy pregnant, so yeah, they're having a baby.

Liam sounded really happy.

Asonja raised his eyes a bit, nodding. "Interesting. Rather quick, too. I expected at least months for the news to come out." He drank from his coffee mug again. It smelled very strong, even from 7 feet away. "But, whatever. I'm not a biologist and I just woke up, so...not in the mood to think about life."

Liam nodded.

Liam: I agree. Anyway, Spark took me to Merna in Mertopia. She was even more beautiful in real life.

Liam sighed happily.

"Oh yeah, I heard about that place." Asonja said tiredly, regardless of caffeine in his system. "Mermobians, if I'm not mistaken."

Liam: They actually call themselves Merbians. There's various types of them: Merhogs, Merfoxes, Merchidna's, Mercats, Mermunks, Merrabbits, Merbats, all kinds. Their Queen is a Merhog, and Merna is her daughter. Like I said, she's beautiful. At first, I thought Merbians were just a myth, but thanks to Spark, I now know they're real.

"Interesting. Guess I don't know much about the world." Asonja drank the remaining coffee and tossed the mug in the sink. "So, what's the plan today? I've already done so much and the week hasn't even ended..."

Liam: *shrugs* I don't know. Maybe I could show you guys Mertopia.

"Sure. But I'm not really much of a fan of water. I hate swimming."

Liam: That's why Merna gave me some things to help you swim. Maybe Emma's interested in coming too?

"She's asleep as of right now. Her energy is completely gone as was mine, but I still woke up rather early. I didn't even know who she was for a minute I was that tired."

Liam: Darn, your core must be powering down really fast. We should power it up today.

"Eh...maybe later..." Asonja sighed, trying to drink from his mug, though he had forgotten that he didn't have the mug in his hand. "Oh. I guess it is the time of the week. When coffee fails, that's not good. Did I also mention that if my core continues to drain I'd most likely die?"

Liam: Fill your core then.

"I'm too lazy." Asonja shrugged.

Liam: ... *sigh* Fine, if you don't want to do anything to your core, die then...But it's your own fault when you die...

Liam then left.

Asonja closed the door after he left. He sat down on the couch, sighing. He hesitated to grab the remote but groaned, picked up the remote and turned the TV on.

A little while later, Emma woke up and came out of the bedroom. She sat down next to Asonja.

Emma: Good morning, sweetie. Did anyone come by while I was asleep?

"Yeah, Liam came just a while ago." Asonja scooted a bit closer to her. "He was just worried about something of mine, but I told him not to worry about it. He also mentioned about the Merbians. They're like mermaids but mobians. I thought that was pretty cool."

Emma: I totally agree. I've actually always wanted to be a Merchidna. It's something I've wanted since I was a little girl. Do you think Liam could help me with becoming one?

"I believe so. You're more than welcome to go along with him. As for me...well...I'm kind of afraid of the deep ocean. More or less, the ocean itself."

Emma: Okay. I'll bring you a souvenir from the ocean. I'm going to find Liam now.

Emma got up and went to Liam and Blade's house.

"Good luck and be safe, Emma." Asonja called out before returning to his show.

Emma made it to Liam and Blade's house. She rang the doorbell. Liam opened.

Liam: Oh, hey, Emma.

Emma: Hey, Liam. Asonja told me that you have connections with Merbians, and I want to be one too. Could you help me with that?

Liam: Sure. I've got some shark tooth necklaces and we can go out now.

Emma: Cool! Let's go!

Liam nodded, locked the door and went to the beach with Emma. Liam gave Emma her necklace. Emma took off her clothes so they wouldn't get wet in the water. Liam and Emma then walked into the water and Liam put on his necklace. His legs turned into a light blue fishtail.

Liam: Okay, your turn.

Emma: Okay.

Emma put on her necklace. Her legs turned into a purple fishtail with waistband, along with a bra to match.

(You can voice Emma now if you like. :3)

(Sure)

"Sweet! It totally matches!" Emma said in joy. "It's my dream come true~!"

Liam: Not only that, but you look really beautiful as a Merchidna. Let's have a look at the Merbians' underwater world.

Liam dove under the water and swam off.

Emma swam after him, spinning around and doing flips in the water. She was just so excited that she was finally in a real land of dreams. She soon stopped and swam beside Liam.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so excited! I feel so free! If only Asonja was here to witness and feel this freedom..."

Liam: Yeah, he doesn't know what he's missing out on. *sees Mertopia* We're here!

Liam and Emma arrived in Mertopia, an underwater city. A lot of Merbians were swimming around.

Liam: I bet you've never seen anything like this before.

"No I haven't...it's gorgeous!" She exclaimed and swam further along. "It's everything I've dreamed of! I'm sorry, I keep saying that so many times."

Liam: It's okay. And look, Merna and her mother are up on the balcony of the palace!

Merna: Hi, Liam!

Liam: Hey, Merna!

Queen: Greetings, I am the Queen of Mertopia. Who is this visitor you brought with you, Liam?

Liam: *to Emma* Why don't you introduce yourself?

She nods to Liam and looks to the Queen. "My name is Emma, your majesty." She made a courtesy bow, fore women especially. It would've been better if she had actual legs instead of a tail as her lower-half, but still showed quite a bit of respect for royalty. "It's an honor to meet you."

Queen: Same here. I hope you'll enjoy your time in Mertopia. Merna will be going with you.

Merna: Yes, Liam and I will be your guide down here. So, what do you feel like doing first, Emma?

"Hmm..." Emma thought of the first thing that came into mind. "Oh, how about shopping? I would love to see what kind of stuff is in your malls!"

Merna: Sure. Let me get some money.

Merna quickly swam into the palace and returned quickly with her wallet.

Merna: Okay, let's go.

Liam and Merna took Emma to one of the malls in Mertopia. It had a lot of fashion tails and such.

Emma was looking around, squealing at every tail that shined, glittered, or just look pretty. She tried them on and asked Merna what she thought. This one particular one had black scales and she returned to Merna with it. "Do you think I should give this to my boyfriend after he gets over his fear of the ocean? I think he would love this!"

Merna: Sure. I'm sure it would look nice on him.

"Sweet! We'll get this one along with this sparkly tail that matches mine!" She held up a glittered-scale tail that matched her tail color.

Merna nodded and went to pay for the tails. Once Emma and Merna were outside the store, Merna gave Emma another shark tooth necklace.

Merna: This is for your boyfriend. Teach him in full detail about this necklace and it's magical powers.

She nods. "I will. Thank you very much for showing me around. It's amazing."

Merna: I know.

Liam then came swimming in.

Liam: Girls, girls! I found something in the Mertopian Library! You GOT to see this!

Liam then took Emma and Merna to the Mertopian Library. He showed them a book he found. A picture of Blade was in it.

Merna: Is that your brother in that book?

Liam: Yeah, it appears so.

Emma took it, completely surprised. "What's he doing in the history books?"

Liam: According to the book, elderly Merbians predicted that one day, a yellow Merfox who called himself Blade Eastwood would come to Mertopia to save the underwater world from an old evil. What this old evil is, is unknown, but that Blade would defeat it. So I guess Blade is some kind of Chosen One down here.

"That sounds awesome! Maybe Asonja could come along and help out?" Emma suggested.

Liam nodded.

Liam: Let's get Asonja and Blade. Merna, you're staying here.

Merna: Okay.

Liam: Let's go, Emma.

Liam swam back to the beach.

Emma followed, and when she reached the surface she took off the necklace, resulting in her legs coming back. She followed the way back to Asonja's apartment, who didn't realize that Asonja was already out in the streets. They eventually met him and Emma came up to him.

"Asonja, Asonja!" Emma came and hugged him for a moment before quickly backing away. "Liam is going to get Blade for a really important mission in the ocean and you must help out!"

"...Me? Help out in the bottomless ocean?" Asonja said. "There's no way I'm helping...you know I'm scared of the ocean."

"I know, but check this out." Emma handed Asonja the shark tooth necklace. "This necklace has a special power that turns you into a real Mermaid! I'm sure that this is Blade's only chance to become a hero, and you've seen him upset about your previous success, correct?"

"...That is true..." Asonja said, looking at the necklace before gripping it, sighing, and smirking. "Alright, fine. Only because you asked me and because Blade requires assistance."

Emma squealed, hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, Asonja! I knew you would help! Oh, take these with you, I bought them in the mall for you! I know how much you like black, so this'll match your outfit!" She handed Asonja a black mermaid tail.

"Oh...uh...thanks, Emma." Asonja nervously smiled a bit before taking it. "I'll see what I can do. I'll be at the beach waiting for Blade to arrive. With that, take these keys and head into the apartment. Feel free to call room service to get some dinner. I will arrive home soon."

Asonja gave her the keys to his apartment and she gladly took them and ran to the apartment. Asonja made his way to the beach later, waiting for Blade to show up.

Liam then came to the beach with Blade.

Liam: Okay, so here's my necklace. You're gonna need it.

Blade: This better be worth leaving Amy's baby shower...

Liam: Trust me, it is. Good luck!

Blade looked at Asonja.

Blade: So...We'll be doing this together?

"Yup." Asonja says, putting on the necklace and getting his mermaid tail and his black one fitted. "You're the main hero and I'll be your sidekick. Sound fair?"

Blade had a huge grin on his face.

Blade: That sounds great!

Blade quickly took off his Terminator outfit, ran into the ocean and put on the necklace. His legs became a white glimmering fishtail.

Blade: This is pretty damn cool! Let's go!

Liam: Before you go, Mertopia is all the way straight down!

Blade: Okay, thanks, Liam! Let's go, Asonja!

Asonja gulped at the depths of the ocean, slowly inching his way over. "Y-yeah...right behind you, Captain Blade."

Blade swam over to Mertopia in the direction Liam instructed him. Once they got to Mertopia, Merna was waiting for them.

Merna: Hello, boys. You're Blade, correct?

Blade: Yep, that's me. This is Asonja.

Merna: Cool. *to Asonja* Your girlfriend Emma told me about you.

"I am aware..." Asonja whispered nervously. He was as pale as a seashell. "She tells everyone about me like it's a big deal...I don't understand why"

Merna: I see...Well, let's go to the Mertopian Library so I can explain everything.

Merna grabbed Blade's hand, who in turn grabbed Asonja's hand. The three of them then swam off to the Mertopian Library.

"Dang...lots of books here." Asonja pointed out. "Guessing it has some History books?"

Merna grabbed a history book and showed it to Asonja and Blade.

Merna: Your brother Liam showed this to me. Apparently, elderly Merbians predicted that one day, you would come to Mertopia to save the underwater world.

Blade couldn't believe what he just heard.

Blade: So I'm basically the Chosen One down here?!

Merna: Sure sounds like it.

Blade: Wow...

Merna: I'll take you to my mother, the Queen of Mertopia. She might know more about this.

Blade nodded and he followed Merna to the palace.

"See?" Asonja looked to Blade. "You're the hero this time instead of me! How does that make you feel?"

Blade: I just can't describe how I feel right now. My heart is beating 10 times faster than normal.

Merna and the boys made it to the palace.

Merna: Mom, we have visitors!

Queen: Coming!

The queen then swam to the balcony and saw Blade.

Queen: *gasp* Are you Blade Eastwood, the Chosen One?!

Blade: Yes, I am. At your service. *bows* Also, this is my sidekick Asonja.

"Hello." Asonja waved. "I am the Robin of this Batman Quest."

Queen: Well, it's great to finally meet the Chosen One. Let me explain everything.

A flashback then started.

Queen: Long ago, the Merbians were attacked by an evil sea wizard named Merfin. The king of Mertopia at the time managed to defeat Merfin, but not before Merfin claimed he would one day return to wreak havoc upon the underwater world. That was when the elderly Merbians predicted that one day, a yellow Merfox who called himself Blade Eastwood would come to Mertopia to save everybody from Merfin's dark magic. And as you can obviously tell, that Merfox is you, Blade. You're our only hope to save Mertopia and the rest of the underwater world.

Blade's heart was beating really fast. He never thought he would be the Chosen One anywhere.

Blade: I will do my very best, Your Highness.

Queen: You're gonna need this.

The Queen said a few magic words and a Maracite Katana appeared in her hand. She gave it to Blade.

Blade: Sweet! This katana is awesome!

Queen: You'll need to train first.

Blade: Fine by me.

Queen: Merna, can you keep Asonja occupied while Blade takes his training?

Merna: On it, mom.

Merna then took Asonja in her arms and swam off with him.

Asonja swam along with her, though he was worried about what was soon to come. He was more of worried of dying suddenly by some unknown force, mainly.

Merna: I'll take care of you while Blade is training. Let's go to Mertopia Springs.

Merna took Asonja to Mertopia Springs, Mertopia's spa resort.

Merna: Ladies, can you give this visitor a treatment?

Two turquoise tailed Merhogs swam over to Asonja.

April the Merhog: Sure thing, Princess Merna.

Amethyst the Merhog: So, what's your name, you sexy young Merhog? *winks at Asonja*

Asonja blushed, and replied, "Asonja..."

Amethyst: Such a nice name. My twin sister April and I will spoil you with the finest Mertopian wellness methods. Allow us to guide you.

April and Amethyst took Asonja by the arms and put him on a massage table. They then started to massage him. Merna laid down next to him, getting a massage from two male orange tailed Merhogs.

Merna: This is the life, right, Asonja?

Asonja was actually so relaxed, he couldn't say anything. He's never felt so tranquilized, mainly because he's never been to a spa.

Merna: *giggles* He's so zen that he can't say a word.

Meanwhile, Blade was training his katana skills. He had used it on training dummies and was now sparring with some Mertopian Guards. The Queen was observing this process.

Queen: *thinking* He certainly is a quick learner...He'll do well against Merfin and his minions with this level of skill...

Blade continued sparring with the guards. Eventually, he finished.

Blade: I think that's enough.

Queen: I agree. Let's find Merna and Asonja and then you're good to go.

Blade nodded and he and the Queen left to find Asonja and Merna. They found them at Mertopia Springs. Merna was sitting in a sauna while Asonja was in a hot tub.

Blade: Here you are! *smirks* Looks like Merna got you all spoiled and everything.

Asonja looked at Blade with his head upside down. "Yup. I've never been to a spa, especially these kinds. I should come to these more often. I think I actually might be used to the undersea lives."

Blade: Maybe you could convince Emma to move down to Mertopia. Anyways, let's get to work.

"Sure. In, like, 5 minutes. I'm too relaxed." Asonja says, leaning back on the hot tub some more. "This is the pure definition of lazy, positively lazy."

Suddenly, a male red tailed Merhog came swimming in.

???: Mom! There's a bunch of bad guys entering Mertopia!

Queen: Thanks for the warning, Triton. Blade, you know what to do.

Blade nodded.

Triton: I'll help you, Blade.

Blade nodded and got his katana ready. Triton got out a Maracite cutlass and the two swam out of the spa and saw a bunch of Shadow Soldiers attacking Mertopia. Triton and Blade immediately entered battle.

Meanwhile, with Emma...

She was just sitting around, waiting for Asonja. She looked at the shark necklace she was given, but just decided to stay as Asonja told her to.

Liam knocked on the door.

Liam: Emma, are you here?

"Yes! Come in!" She called, slapping one of Asonja's grey shirts on; it was actually a perfect size for her. "Is that you Liam?"

Liam: Yes, it's me.

Liam then came in.

Liam: So, what were you doing?

She just shrugs. "Just sitting around waiting for Asonja to return. What's he up to?"

Liam: *shrugs* I don't know. I gave Blade my necklace so I didn't go with them. Hey, if you're looking for an interesting time in the bathtub, try taking a bath while in Merbian form. I tried it yesterday and it went well.

(Packing in for today, I gotta go to work tomorrow.)

(kk)

"Well, what do you mean by interesting time? Like, comfortable or just...plain interesting in general?" She crossed his arms, with her necklace in her hand.

Liam: Well, it's a different way of taking a bath. Only this time, you don't feel your legs because you have a fishtail, obviously.

"Hmm...I might try that. But, of course, not with you around because...well...you might know why without me telling you." She blushed slightly, but it went away quickly. "Want me to make you something to eat Liam?

Liam: Sure, I'd like a sandwich with ham, cheese and egg.

She prepared it pretty quickly, in just under 2 minutes. She gave him the plate. "Here you go! It's my first time making a sandwich like this, but I hope you like it!"

Liam took a bite.

Liam: This is really nice. It tastes really good.

She gave him a little huge. "Thank you!" She let go and went to clean the kitchen up before stepping into the bathroom. She poked her head out from the bathroom to say, "Make sure when you're done, clean up the plate and put it in the dishwasher alright? I'm going to go try that bath-thing."

Liam: Will do.

She puts on her necklace once the bathtub was filled and she went in it. "Oh. This really is interesting. Oddly relaxing too..."

Suddenly, Emma heard some sound, and the floor of the bathtub started moving. If Emma looked down the hole, she could see a whole underwater world in the bathtub.

"...Whaaaa-?" Emma sounded confused, and she decided to go down the hole. Her curiosity was increasing the further down she went. "This doesn't quite make sense...but it must be magical since it doesn't."

Soon, Emma was in an underwater world with a pipe in the middle. There was a sign that said 'To Mertopia' on the pipe.

"Huh...neat! A cool shortcut!" Emma says as she went through the pipe. She could've sworn the pipe looked green for a minute, but thought it was her imagination.

Emma then ended up in Mertopia and saw the Shadow Soldiers attacking. She could also see Triton and Blade fighting them off.

"Whoa! What's happening?!" Emma swam over to the 3, really quickly. "Blade? What's happening here?! Where's Asonja? Isn't he supposed to be helping?!"

Blade: These bad guys are attacking Mertopia. As for Asonja, he's slacking off in a spa. Also, how did you get here, Emma?

"I put on this necklace in my bathtub and practically found a shortcut here. It was strange. Anywho, do you want me to get Asonja to help? You look like you need it."

Blade: Okay. And sure, go get Asonja.

She nods and swam away quickly to the Spa to fetch him.

Triton: That girl sure is beautiful. I think I like her.

Blade: Sadly, she's already taken. She's with Asonja.

Triton: What a shame...

Blade: You could always give it a try, Triton. (Lel, gg.)

Triton: Alright, but first let's get rid of these bad guys.

Blade nodded and the boys continued fighting the Shadow Soldiers.

"Asonja!?" Emma called. Eventually, she found him in the Spa relaxing in the Hot Springs. "Well, that's the first time I've ever seen you relaxed like that." Emma joked. Asonja rolled his eyes and smirked a little bit. "It sure won't be the last when I'm here. So, what do you need me for?"

Emma explained about Blade and another individual, Triton, is fighting off Shadow Soldiers and she advises him to follow her. Asonja looked a bit uneasy, since he wasn't much of a fighter, but nodded anyway. "Sure, just let me get my...clothes on. I forgot that we don't technically have clothing. Ah well, makes rushing a lot easier." He gets out and swims, following Emma.

Triton handed Asonja a Maracite Katana as soon as he and Emma got to him and Blade.

Triton: Quick, help us get rid of these guys!

"Kinda early to step in but I'll give this a try..." Asonja stood there for a moment, going into a stance. "This is hard to do with no legs..." Asonja muttered before muttering something else, and swishing his blade forward. He caused a force in the water than blew away a mass of soldiers, but not too much; that was for Blade's sake, so he could have more of a spotlight.

Blade continued battling the Shadow Soldiers until there were none left. Blade panted.

Blade: Man...That was quite a fight...

"Yeah. And look, you didn't even need my help!" Asonja stated "I stayed back a little bit to let you do the fighting, and look at that. The water makes you more agile and quicker so you could dodge faster. Heck, you might be the savior of the water and I could be the savior of land."

Blade smiled.

Blade: That would be amazing.

Liam: Hey, guys!

Liam was in his Merfox form and he swam over to Asonja, Emma, Triton and Blade.

Emma had been sitting back and watching, clapping her hands. "That was awesome! You totally missed their fight, Liam!"

Liam: That's a shame. Oh well.

Merna and the Queen came swimming in as well.

Queen: Great job at defeating those Shadow Soldiers. I'm afraid that wasn't the last of them, though. I suggest finding Merfin's hideout outside Mertopia. Good luck.

Blade nodded.

Blade: Let's go, guys.

Blade swam off. Triton and Liam followed.

Asonja stayed for a moment, seeming to think to himself for a while as well, before Emma and Asonja swam back to the city on the surface.

When Asonja and Emma got to Asonja's apartment, they found out Liam locked it from the inside. But since Asonja has Identity powers, this shouldn't be a problem.

With this, Asonja had created a copy-key, originally made from the Nanite sand-like particles from his body into solid metal. He opened the door and walked inside, closing the door behind Emma, and the copy key vanishing.

Meanwhile, underwater...

Liam, Blade and Triton were swimming through the ocean, trying to find Merfin's hideout. They found it after following a group of Shadow Soldiers.

Liam: *whispering* This is the place, Blade...

Blade: *whispering* Yeah...Let's do this...

The boys got out their weapons and went inside.

During this, Asonja was so tired and decided to take a nap in his room. Emma just agrees because, well, she wants to be with him.

Back with Blade and the gang, they found Merfin inside his hideout.

Merfin: Bwa ha ha, I'm going to destroy Mertopia with my dark magic, and no one can stop me!

Blade: *whispering* What will we do...?

Liam: *whispering* Show him who's boss!

Blade: *whispering* Okay.

Blade then got out of cover and pointed his katana at Merfin.

Blade: You're not going anywhere!

Merfin: What?! The Chosen One?! He actually exists?!

Blade: Yes, I do.

Merfin: Time to launch my evil plan!

Merfin quickly left his hideout, with Blade and the gang following him. They saw Merfin creating a large missile and it fired at Mertopia.

Liam, Triton and Blade: Nooooo!

The missile didn't detonate, instead it made a large thud.

Merfin: God damn it! The missile didn't even detonate! Looks like I'll have to detonate it manually!

Merfin then swam off.

Blade: This is my adventure, my mission. I can do this myself!

Liam: Good luck, Blade. The fate of Mertopia is in your hands.

Triton: Yeah, save us all!

Blade nodded and quickly sped off after Merfin.

As he swam, there seemed to be a hidden force watching him from nearby. It wasn't a dark power or a good power. Just somewhere in the middle. Whatever this entity was, it was quite massive, and quietly followed Blade.

Blade managed to beat Merfin to the missile, and he disarmed it.

Blade: I did it! I saved Mertopia from the missile!

Blade then swam to a square in Mertopia, where Merfin ambushed him and a group of Merbians.

Merfin: So you beat me to the missile, you little pest...

Blade: ...

Merfin: I'll make you all pay for this...

Merfin then used his dark magic to increase size, and he grew really large. The Merbians then swam for cover.

Merfin: You fool...Away, before I make mincemeat out of you...

Blade: You can't beat me, you bastard...I'm the Chosen One!

Blade got out his Maracite Katana and engaged in battle with Merfin.

Suddenly, a growl was heard behind Merfin, as a larger beast was looming over him. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a Merwyvern, a dragon.

Merfin: Sweet...mother of s**t...

Blade: *thinking* If that thing kills Merfin, I'll slice my own head off with my katana...

This Merwyvern attacked Merfin and brought him to the ground. It didn't do anything, but it looked at Blade as if it were waiting for something. Then, Blade heard a female's voice in his head. "Well? What're you waiting for? Take off his head!"

Blade raised his shoulders and decapitated Merfin with his katana. He then looked at the Merwyvern.

Blade: Who are you?

''"Well, for starters, I am a Mythological beast in Mertopia that only the Queen knows of my existence. And since you're the Chosen One the prophecies have foretold..." ''The dragon shrank down to about his size, a bit bigger for him to ride on, and bows her head. "I consider this kill yours. You have successfully saved the nation, Mr. Blade." Her mouth did not move as she spoke, and no one else could hear her except Blade.

Blade: Thank you.

Blade smiled at the Merwyvern, then turned around to see the Merbians applauding at him.

Female Mercat: Great job!

Female Merhorse: You really saved the day!

Blade: Yeah...I finally proved myself as a hero...I finally did it!

Blade's heart was beating faster than ever before. Liam and Triton swam over to Blade as Liam hugged Blade.

Liam: You did it, Blade! You saved Mertopia!

Triton: You're truly a hero!

Merna: Yes, you're worthy of your title, The Chosen One.

Queen: Yes, you are. We will honor you for generations. I think you have to go home now.

Blade: Yeah. I mean, I have a girlfriend waiting for me.

Queen: Good luck, Blade. We will see you soon, hopefully.

Blade: I'll definitely come back.

Triton: Do you mind if I come with you?

Blade: Sure, Triton.

Triton: Okay!

Triton grabbed his magic jeans and he, along with Liam and Blade got onto the Merwyvern.

She looked at Blade, giving a subtle smile, before flying to the surface of the water. They burst through the water and land on the empty beach As the Wyvern landed, she looked to be a normal Western Dragon. She crouched down a bit to tell the passengers it is time to get off.

"Is it partying time, Mr. Blade?" She asked him.

Blade: Pretty much.

Liam and Blade took off their necklaces and turned back into Mobian foxes. They then hopped off the Dragon. Triton slapped his magic jeans onto his tail, and they magically slipped on, causing Triton to gain legs. He hopped off the Dragon too.

Blade: Thank you for helping me. I'll be sure to repay the favor someday.

"''No need for that." ''The dragon replied. ''"If you ever need me to help for something, use this whistle." ''She handed him a white whistle, as it seemed to match her scales. ''"I'll be on the run, ripping out whoever's intestines threaten you~!" ''She grinned after saying that so blatantly. What people can hear is the groaning of the dragon, like a dog wanting to bark but couldn't.

Blade nodded.

Blade: Okay, thank you.

Blade waved at the dragon and he, Liam and Triton walked to Liam and Blade's house.

The dragon made a human-like salute, standing on two legs and doing the salute motion, before jumping back into the water.

Liam: Wow, Blade. You and that dragon can really communicate with each other.

Blade: Yeah. She speaks through telepathy.

Liam: Okay. I can't hear that, though. Since you're the Chosen One, apparently only you can hear her speak.

Triton: Let's head to Asonja and Emma's place soon. I want to tell Emma something.

Blade: Sure. But first, let's party.

Liam and Triton nodded and the three arrived at Liam and Blade's house. They all raised a glass of Coca Cola.

Meanwhile, with Asonja and Emma...

They weren't doing much of anything. Emma was asleep and Asonja was watching TV in the Apartment

Liam, Blade and Triton just hung at Liam and Blade's house for a few hours, drinking Coca Cola and playing poker.

Triton: The land is pretty nice. I might divide my time between land and sea, much like Emma does.

Liam: Alright. Sounds great.

Blade: Yes. That would be great.

Triton: Should we go to Asonja and Emma's place now?

Blade: Okay.

Liam, Triton and Blade then left for Asonja and Emma's apartment. Blade knocked.

Blade: Asonja, it's us, Liam and Blade. We brought Triton from Mertopia too.

He opened the door just from sitting down on the couch. "Sure thing," he says. "Be quiet though; Emma's taking a nap in my room."

The boys nodded and they entered. They then took a seat.

Triton looked at Asonja, a bit nervous.

Triton: *whispering to Blade* Should I tell him...?

Blade: *whispering back* Well...I guess so. Honesty is king.

Triton nodded and looked back to Asonja.

Triton: A-Asonja...I have to tell you something...I...like Emma too...

He didn't seem shocked or anything. "I'm glad you think she's beautiful too, but she's with me. Sorry. If she wasn't with me, I would definitely recommend you to her. She's as sweet as a button, but can fight back tenfold. Hell, even she can beat me some times. But, I'm sure there is someone else out there just like her that you might come across. Who knows?"

Triton: Okay...

Triton got up and left the apartment.

Liam: Poor Triton...I think his heart is broken...

Blade looked guilty.

"I know...I didn't intend on that." Asonja said. "Don't get me wrong, if I wasn't with her, I'd let him have her...but that chance was already taken by me because I saved her along with Blade, so...I feel bad for him too. I sure hope he gets lucky."

Blade: I'll go talk to him...Liam, stay here.

Liam nodded and Blade went after Triton. Triton was sitting on the roof of Asonja's apartment. Blade climbed onto it and sat down next to Triton.

Blade: Hey, Triton...Are you okay...?

Triton: Not at all...I can't believe she's already taken...

Blade: I told you, and this is something you could've expect. But don't worry, because just like Asonja said, you'll probably find another girl just like Emma. Just give it some time, and everything will be fine.

Triton: Alright...I'll do that then.

Blade: Let's get back inside and order some pizza.

Triton: Alright.

Triton and Blade got off the roof and got back inside.

Blade: Let's have some pizza to celebrate me becoming a hero.

Asonja snapped his fingers, and his sand-like particles spewed from his hand to create the pizza, sodas, and everything that was necessary for this party. "Enjoy yourselves. Don't party too hard, now."

Triton was confused at how Asonja spawned the pizza and drinks.

Triton: Wha-? Wh-? How...?

"It's a very long story, I'll explain in a moment." Asonja stated calmly.

Once everyone was situated except Triton and Asonja, he looked at him normally. "Listen to me carefully," he stated. "I'm not repeating myself after this. But I am a certain race called an Identity. I have the form of my mother because I am a half-breed Identity, but, still. We Identity have a specific life-force in our body called 'the Core'. With this, we're able to do anything we could need. Also, my skin is not actually real skin, though it feel real. These particles that make up my skin are called Nanites. These Nanites take the form of anything I desire, with the right amount on Nanites can create anything with the same mass." He spawned a perfect metallic iron cube from his hand, the sand-like Nanites forming it. Once Triton felt it, it had a grainy texture at first, but then it felt like smooth, polished iron.

Triton: Whoa, that's cool!

"It's confusing at first, but once you understand it all, it'll make loads of sense. Now go have fun, big guy." The cube vanished back into Nanites and into his hand before patting his shoulder. "Go on."

Triton nodded and started eating pizza. Liam and Blade started eating too.

Asonja continued to sit down, sometimes getting up to eat a pizza and get a cup of Cheerwine.

Blade: Oh, s**t! I just remembered I have to get back to Amy's house! See you soon, guys!

Blade ran out the door to get his clothes from the beach, because he left them there. He then went to Amy's house.

Triton: Well, guess I'm stuck here with you guys.

"It's alright," Asonja stated. "You're more than welcome to leave at anytime if necessary, Triton. You won't hurt my feelings."

Triton: Alright.

Suddenly, a blue echidna who looked to be 14 walked into the apartment. Judging by the look in his eyes, he appears to be autistic.

???: Hey. Are you Asonja?

"Uh, yeah...?" Asonja answered. Even he didn't look at the echidna. "What's up?"

???: I'm Tim Capulet, Emma's autistic brother. My parents sent me here because they were going to a meeting in Empire City and wanted Emma to babysit me while they are gone. Is it okay if I crash down here for a few days?

(What a coincidence, I was just playing Sonic Generations Unleash Project and I was on that level XD)

"Sure. Go right ahead. Emma's sleeping in the other room." Asonja pointed in front of him to the door on the left.

(Lawl. XD)

Tim nodded and walked into the bedroom and woke Emma up.

Tim: Hey, sis! It's me, Tim!

She groaned a bit, and smiled a little bit. "Heya Tim. How's my baby brother doing?" She gave him a playful and tired noggie on his head.

Tim: I'm doing fine. Listen, mom and dad are off to Empire City for a few days so I'm staying here for a few days because mom and dad wanted you to babysit me.

"Ah, I see." Emma says, and she gets up out of bed, the covers wrapped around her. "Why not wait out in the kitchen and I'll make you something to eat. And maybe socialize with my boyfriend for a bit, alright?" She gave him another quick hug.

Tim: Sure.

Tim walked back to the living room to sit down between Asonja and Triton on the couch.

Tim: So, how did you end up here in Station Square, Asonja?

"It's a very long story, kiddo." Asonja replies. "I don't want to explain it to you; it might scar you."

Tim: Oh, okay. Also, I think I saw Emma this morning as a mermaid. Is that true?

"Yup." Asonja said, picking up his sharktooth necklace. He puts it on, and his black scaled mermaid tail showed up. "Even I have it."

Tim: Can I have one too?

Liam: Sure. I have plenty of them.

Liam gave Tim a shark tooth necklace, and instructed him how to use it.

Tim: Okay. I'm gonna ask Emma if she wants to swim with me as Merbians. That would be the best sibling activity ever!

"Go right ahead." Asonja motioned to the door, as Emma came out from the door, wearing Asonja's clothing.

Tim: Hey, sis. Wanna swim as Merbians together? Asonja's fox friend gave me a magic necklace so I can become one too.

"Sure! I'd love to." Emma responded. She kissed Asonja goodbye, and even kissed Liam's forehead, before leaving with Tim to the beach.

Liam blushed.

Once Emma and Tim got to the beach, Tim took off his clothes so they wouldn't get wet. He walked into the water and put on his necklace. He grew a silver fishtail.

Tim: This is awesome!

Emma giggled as she joined in along with him. "Follow me. I'll show you something awesome." She takes his hands and swims under the surface.

Tim: This in incredible! Just look at all those sea creatures!

"Mhm!" Emma nodded. "They have everything, it's so amazing. Like, there's everything you could ever imagine there."

Tim: What I also find interesting is that I can breathe underwater as a Merchidna. It's just like a dream.

"I said the same exact thing, Tim." She said, smiling a bit. Once they got to the city grounds, she gave him some of the currency. "Go ahead and buy yourself some stuff Tim and meet me back here."

Tim was shocked at the sight of Mertopia but nodded at Emma and then swam off to buy a few things.

Merna: Hey, Emma!

"Merna! Hi!" She gave her a warm hug. "How's everything? I just brought my little brother down here to spend some time with for a while. Our parents are out of town."

Merna: That's great, and everything is fine down here. Blade saved us all not too long ago. He is worthy of his title, The Chosen One.

Emma nodded. "It's like Blade and Asonja are saviors of their own regions, you know? Blade is the savior of water, Asonja is the savior and land, and now we need a savior of the air. Who would you think that would be?"

Merna thought about it.

Merna: Either you or Liam.

"Me?" She blinked a few times. "No way! It does sound cool though, but I think Liam is a much better choice, to be honest."

Merna: Okay.

Tim then came back with a few Mertopian souvenirs.

Tim: I'm back, and I got some souvenirs.

"They look great Tim." She says and smiles. "You're welcome to stay a bit longer here. You should try out the spa area."

Tim nodded and then saw Merna.

Tim: Whoa, who's this sexy Merhog?!

Merna: *blushes* I-I'm Merna, Princess of Mertopia.

Tim: Hello, princess. *bows*

Merna: Hello.

Emma giggled a bit and gave Tim a small noogie. "He's adorable, isn't he?"

Merna: He certainly is. I know a good club here in Mertopia. Wanna go there?

Tim: Sure. What about you, Emma?

She shrugs, but with a smile. "Sure! I've never been to a club, but I've always wanted to go."

Merna: Okay, let's go then!

Merna took Tim by the hand, making him blush. They then swam to the Vanilla Merclub.

Emma followed along, being the first to step in.

A lot of young Merbian boys and girls were in the club. Tim was so happy that he did a few flips. He thought he was dreaming and didn't want to get up.

Merna: So, what drink do you guys want?

Tim: I'll have a cola.

Merna: Okay. And you, Emma?

"I'll just have some Red Wine. I've always wanted to try some" She responds.

Merna nodded and swam to the bar and ordered a cola for Tim, Red Wine for Emma and Rum for herself. She swam back to Emma and Tim and handed them their drinks. Tim started drinking his cola.

Tim: Man, even under the sea this stuff tastes good.

Emma had a sip of the Red Wine. "Huh. It's not bad, it actually tastes pretty good. How's your Rum, Merna?"

Merna: It tastes nice.

"Sweet." Emma says before drinking some more. They partied casually and mainly talked and spent time chatting.

Asonja, however, was still doing his own thing in his apartment, watching his shows and eating Ramen Noodles. He was on his 2nd pack of it, pouring all the flavoring contents in it.

Liam and Triton were still with Asonja in the apartment. They watched Asonja's shows with him. Triton looked at Asonja's Ramen Noodles.

Triton: Is that all you eat all day?

"Yup." Asonja stated, slurping up more noodles. "I'm poor, and I have no job because I don't want one for my own reasons."

Triton: *to Liam* Is he always like this?

Liam: *sighs* Yep, and we can't seem to do anything about it, because he's too stubborn...

"It's more on the lines of too scared and stubborn." Asonja says, despite not being able to hear them in the first place. "Trauma happened in my youth that enabled me to be scared of the public, to avoid discrimination against my family and my species. Thus, I refuse to get anywhere in public."

Liam: You need to get over that trauma, because it's getting in the way of your life. It has happened, and you can't do anything about it. Take it from me, your life will be a lot easier if you get over that trauma.

"Pfft. How could I get over something that no one can avoid?" Asonja says, showing his back to the group in the kitchen.

Suddenly, Donald Trump's ghost came back, and this time, Liam and Triton could see him too.

Donald: Asonja, I'm sick of your bulls**t! You promised you'd change, but you ain't applying s**t! Do you want to die?!

"...Oh, I forgot about you. No joke." Asonja replied. "I honestly forgot. But, in all honesty, I'm REALLY trying. But I keep reverting back to where I'm comfortable at, is admitting my weakness...even if I did defeat someone previously."

Donald: You gotta get out of your comfort zone and get to work. *aims pistol at Asonja* I've got a loaded pistol, which I will use if you don't get out of your comfort zone.

"Jeez, don't get to hasty there, Mr. President." Asonja says with his hands up for a moment. "I said that I would try."

Donald: You better do it soon, or else I will kill you without warning.

Donald then vanished. Liam and Triton were confused at what just happened.

Liam: What the heck was that about?

"Well, let's just say that I have a serious problem of attracting negative attention to the point of murder."

Liam: That's scary...

Triton: Yeah, I know.

"I didn't even vote for the guy, unfortunately." Asonja rubbed the back of his head, and then claps both of his hands together. "Alright, enough politics for one day. How about we go do something that doesn't involve me getting a bullet in my head?"

Triton: Sure. You know anything, Liam?

Liam: How about we go to the Station Square Central Café? The Chatter Hour For Men is about to begin.

Triton: Sure. What about you, Asonja?

He shrugged. "As long as a Caesar Salad and pizza is there, I'm up for it." This is the first time he said anything about salads.

Liam: Yes, they got that stuff. Let's go.

Liam took Asonja and Triton to the Station Square Central Café.

Meanwhile, with Emma, Merna and Tim...

An orange female Merchidna was looking at Tim in a dreamy way.

Orange Merchidna: *sigh* That blue Merchidna boy is so sexy...I really want him...

Black Merbat: Then go talk to him.

Orange Merchidna: Very well.

The orange Merchidna swam over to Tim, Emma and Merna.

Orange Merchidna: Hey, you sexy young Merchidna. What's your name?

Tim: *blushes* I-I'm Tim...

Emma was a bit nervous from this happening, but she sat there and went with it. "And I'm his sister, Emma. Nice to meet you. What's your name?"

Merchidna: I'm Lori. I kinda like your brother. Is it okay if I have a little date with him some time?

"If he wants to, that's up with him. I'm up for it anytime myself." She replies.

Tim: Uh, s-sure.

Tim always gets flustered around girls, which is something his autism causes.

Lori: Great. Do you feel like doing something right now?

Tim: Sure. What do you want to do?

Lori: How about we go to a movie?

Tim: Sure. What about you, Emma?

"Sure," she responds. "I'll pay for the tickets for the two of you and concessions."

Lori: Thank you.

Merna: You three have fun. I'm staying here.

Tim: Alright, Merna. See you later!

Lori and Tim then swam to the cinema and waited for Emma at the ticket stand.

She pays for the tickets, some popcorn and drinks for them. "Alright, go right ahead in you two! Have fun!"

Lori and Tim nodded and they went inside. They went to see the movie Kiss and Tell (No, this is not a Big Time Rush reference, in case you're wondering. XD) (Never seen it, so I wouldn't know for sure x3)

Emma went back to Merna. "Want to go back to the mall?"

Merna: Alright, let's go!

Merna sped off towards the mall.

Once they got there, they saw the shrunken version of the dragon that helped Blade previously. It was going around Merna and Emma in a welcoming manner.

Merna: Why, hello. Good to see you again.

It licked Merna's face a few times like a happy dog before doing the same to Emma, who giggled and pet his head.

(Is Blade the only one who can communicate with the dragon?) (Yeah) (Okay.)

Merna: *giggles* You sure are playful today.

The dragon nodded, and seemed to want to stay with them for the trip around the mall. The way the dragon asked was to sit and beg like a dog.

Merna: Of course you can come with us.

Merna then swam into a store that sold jewelry. She picked a pearl tiara and two golden bracelets for Emma.

Merna: Here, you should try these on.

Emma put them on and squealed happily. "They're gorgeous! We should totally get these!" The dragon nodded in agreement.

Merna: I'll pay for them then.

Merna took them to the cashier and paid for them. Once they were outside the shop, she gave them back to Emma.

Merna: Feel like getting a snack? This mall has a nice restaurant.

"Sure! I am pretty hungry myself." The dragon nodded too, salivating at the thought of food.

Merna nodded and swam to the restaurant she was talking about. It was a fast food joint called McMertopia (Lel, Merbian version of McDonalds, gg.). She waited for Emma and the dragon to arrive.

The dragon had grown slightly to transport Emma there. She leaned a bit so Emma could get off before shrinking back to large dog size. "So, what're you getting Merna?" Emma asks.

Merna: I'm getting a McKelpburger. And you?

"I'm just getting the Kelp Salad." Emma states. The dragon pointed to the GrandKelp. Emma was surprised. "You sure you're gonna eat all of that by yourself?" She asked her. The dragon nods, looking confident. "Well, alright."

Merna nodded and ordered the food. Once it was done, she took it all and sat down at a table with Emma and the dragon. Merna started eating her burger.

The dragon had destroyed her burger, burping and rubbing his stomach. Emma giggled, as she hasn't finished 1/4 of it. She was drinking her soda more than eating.

A bunch of Merboys in the restaurant were looking at Emma eating and drinking. They were hypnotized by her beauty.

Green Merhog: I wish I was that meal she's having...

Purple Mercat: That Merchidna is so beautiful...

Red Merskunk: I'm gonna buy her a drink.

Green Merhog: No, I'm gonna do that!

Purple Mercat: Incorrect, I'll do it!

The Merboys then started arguing over Emma.

Merna: *giggles* You know what they say, Emma: A man's weakness is a woman.

She giggled as well and then came up with an idea. "Oh boys~" She wooed their attention to her. "If you would be so kind and get me another drink, please~?"

The boys quickly swam over to the soda machine to get Emma a drink. They then brought the drinks to Emma.

Red Merskunk: Here you go, babe!

Purple Mercat: Enjoy, sweetheart!

Green Merhog: I'll do anything for you!

"Thank you boys, you all are so kind~." Emma leans forward on the table, basically looking like she was seducing them. "I'll remember to pay you all back~."

Green Merhog: *whispers to his friends* We're gonna get laid.

The purple Mercat and red Merskunk nodded and the boys went to sit back down at their table.

Merna: *whispers to Emma* You sure know how to take advantage of boys. I like naughty girls.

She giggled in response. "I do it all the time. But I already know that it's wrong to cheat on my one and only." She whispers to make sure the others didn't hear her. "But, hey, least we got free drinks."

Merna nodded and she began to drink one.

Meanwhile, with Asonja, Liam and Triton...

The boys were sitting in the Station Square Central Café for the Chatter Hour For Men. Liam had ordered strawberry cake and a cup of coffee. Triton had ordered a croissant and a coffee.

Triton: Merna is the sweetest sister I could've wished for. She knows exactly what videogames I like.

Liam: Blade is just like that. He once bought me a Rick Grimes sherriff uniform for Halloween. Do you have any brothers or sisters, Asonja?

"Well, I do have a twin brother, not exactly a twin but we were born at the same time. His name is Zoralth, and he's a dragon himself."

Liam: That's cool!

Triton: Yeah. Where is he?

Asonja shrugged. "Dunno. He's working at the current moment, but I'm sure he's coming to visit later this week."

Liam: Alright.

The boys then thought of more subjects to discuss.

(You can now think of a subject. :3)

Asonja sat there for a moment, not really the best with small-talk or starting a subject. Usually when it does, it would end in arguments or something similar. He was shown thinking. "Hmm...how about the chances of getting another villain who wants to destroy the world and possible one of the last ones because I REALLY need to take a break from being a hero."

Liam: If you need to take a break from the hero stuff, you could always ask Blade to fill in for you. If he can save Mertopia, then he can do anything.

Triton: Yeah, Blade can handle any villain.

"True, true...I can text him about it after this meal."

Liam and Triton nodded and continued eating and drinking.

Meanwhile, with Blade...

Blade was at Amy's house for her baby shower.

John (Amy's father): Blade, I think you're gonna be an amazing father for my grandchild. You're also the only boy I trust my daughter with. After what that bastard Sonic did to her, I didn't think I'd trust another man with my daughter, but you proved me wrong.

Blade: I'll do my best, Mr. Rose.

Beth (Amy's mother): That's good to hear. You and Amy are so cute together, it reminds me of me and John when we were your age.

Blade blushed at that comment and John rubbed his neck sheepishly.

Suddenly, Blade gets a text from Asonja; "Yo, you got a second?"

Blade texted back: 'Sure.'

'Listen, I'm getting a bit tired from all of this hero stuff for a while and I feel like taking a break. Do you mind taking over some of the villain-beat-ups in case some come and only contact me if you need help and what not?'

'Sure, I'd love to.' Blade texted back.

'Cool. I'll let you know if anything happens.' Asonja texted back, and eventually went offline.

Blade then put his phone away and continued the party.

Back with Emma and Merna...

Merna had finished her meal.

Merna: So, what should we do now?

Emma shrugged. "I'm already pretty hyper and full from the sodas those boys gave me. And so is our dragon buddy." She giggled as the Merwyvern was spinning around in circles trying to catch her tail.

Merna: *giggles too* How about we go hang at the palace?

"Sure." Emma nods and looked at the Merwyvern, who had caught her tail somehow. "Come on along, we're heading to the palace." She says, and the dragon nods. "Oh, before I go..." Emma went back to the group of boys and each gave them kisses on the cheeks. "Thanks for the drinks~!" She says before walking out.

The Merboys blushed madly.

Green Merhog: Oh my God, she just kissed me!

Purple Mercat: She kissed me too!

Red Merskunk: And me too!

Merna swam after Emma.

Merna: If Asonja saw this, he'd be so jealous. That would be so cute!

She giggled. "It's my intention! To see his blushing face." Emma giggled and the Merwyvern had caught up with Merna and Emma after taking a quick snack from one of the boy's trays; she had stolen about 5 fries.

Emma, Merna and the Merwyvern made it to the palace and proceeded to enter it. They sat down in Merna's room.

Merna: If you're interested, Em, I can pimp your hair a bit. I've got a lot of cool stuff for it.

"Sure! I'm up for it!" Emma nods. "Although, what about Miss Merwyvern over here?" She pets her.

Merna: I'll give her a makeover too.

She yipped in happiness and licked Merna a few times in the face before she goes back to Emma, who was laughing.

Merna giggled and then put a pink bow on the Merwyvern's head. She then pointed at the mirror.

Merna: Go check it out!

The Merwyvern went to that mirror and seemed to make a laughing noise out of yips. She appears to love it.

Merna smiled and then went to get some stuff for Emma. She then returned and proceeded to hang white roses on Emma's dreadlocks.

Merna: So, what do you think, Emma?

She looked at them and smiled a bit. "I love it. I look great! What's Asonja going to think when he sees this?"

Merna: He'll probably think you're beautiful like this.

She blushed and giggled. "Sweet~! Alright, where's Tim?"

Merna: I don't know. Probably still at the cinema.

"Just making sure." Emma says calmly. "I hope Asonja's doing fine without me. He's probably still at his apartment, being his usual depressed self. I wish I could something to help him.."

Merna: I sure hope so. It must suck to be depressed.

Back with Asonja, Liam and Triton...

The boys were now walking through Station Square, trying to think of something to do.

Triton: So, what should we do now?

Liam: I don't know. I'll leave that up to Asonja.

"Don't leave me to conclusions like these." He responds, he crosses his arms. "We'll just get bored again, for I know."

Liam: Fine, then I'll think of something. *thinks* Hmmm...I know! Let's go to the local theater to watch a comedy show!

Triton: Yeah, fun!

(I'm going now, I got a tv show in a few minutes.)

Asonja looked in no way interested. He scratched behind his ear for a moment. "You guys can do that. I'll go find something to do in my own time, I'm afraid." He muttered to himself, "I just hope I don't get into a situation where I'm forced to fight or..whatever."

Liam: Whatever, go enjoy yourself with whatever you're gonna do, you stubborn train wreck...

Liam and Triton then walked off towards the theater.

"...He finally said it.." Asonja muttered a little bit. "Thank goodness he said it. I've been waiting for someone to say that. And now I feel better now that he said it."

(Is Asonja masochistic because he likes being insulted?) (No, it's because he's been insulted for so long in his life, he doesn't expect people to be nice to him, so he tries everything he can to get people he meets to insult him, mainly because he got comfortable with it. That's how long.) (Damn, that's not very healthy.)

Suddenly, Asonja heard something move under a manhole cover.

He had stopped moving for a moment and inched over the cover. "Hello...?" He muttered quietly.

Suddenly, one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Michaelangelo appeared.

Mikey: Hi! I'm Michaelangelo! Just call me Mikey! Who are you?!

He jumped back a bit, slightly confused. "Uhhh...a hedgehog? I guess? Uhh...what're you doing here?"

Mikey: I live down here! Can't talk to you up here, too many people watching! Let's go!

Mikey grabbed Asonja by the arm and pulled him down the manhole. He then put the cover back on it.

Asonja was pretty small compared to the Turtles since he was a hedgehog, who was about half the size of a person. "Uh, alright, I guess I'm being taken hostage by a Turtle. That's fine."

Mikey: I'm not taking you hostage. I'm just taking you down here because I can't be seen by Mobians. But you look like a Mobian I can trust. I'll take you to my brothers!

Mikey then put Asonja on his back and jumped onto his skateboard. He then sped off for the Sewer Lair.

Mikey: Cowabunga!

Asonja was screaming slightly, but stopped as soon as it started. "W-where are we going exactly?"

Mikey: To the Sewer Lair!

(I'm gonna shower, I'll be back ASAP.) (I won't be back probably because I plan on going somewhere for a few hours and I might not be back when you get back. Fair warning) (That's okay, I was going to do some grocery shopping anyway.)

Asonja nods, and follows along on his back. "Right...I'll be here..."

Mikey then arrived in the Sewer Lair and dropped Asonja off his back.

Mikey: Hey, guys! I brought a visitor!

The other Turtles looked at Asonja.

Leonardo: Mikey, what did I tell you about taking Mobians with you?!

Mikey: You said only when they look trustworthy.

Leonardo: I didn't say anything like that! I said 'Don't take Mobians with you!'

Donatello: Leo, lay off of him. He doesn't look dangerous at all.

Raphael: I don't trust him one bit. He's probably a Foot Soldier without it's costume on.

Asonja just stood there, not exactly knowing what to say. He scratched the back of his head. "Well, to my prior knowledge you can't let anyone know you exist and I've known that for a long time. But I'm not sure why, out of other people, would you want to choose me. I mean, I can be powerful but...I don't really quite fight that much anymore."

(This'll be my last for a while. See ya soon.)

Leo: I never asked you to be here, but Mikey took you with him despite me saying no.

Mikey: Come on, Leo! He's awesome! Please let him hang around!

Leo looked at Asonja, then back at Mikey and sighed.

Leo: Fine, he can stay... *to Asonja* But don't touch anything unless I say so.

His hands went up above his chest. They turned into sand and fell to the ground. "If you say so."

Leo: You didn't have to make your hands disappear.

"Well, I need to be sure so I don't get killed for any reason." Asonja stated. "You want to trust me, don't you? I must show that I am reliable."

Leo: By making your hands disappear?

"So I don't touch anything." He adds.

Leo: ...Alright.

Suddenly, the Turtles' sensei, Splinter, who is an anthropomorphic rat, came in.

Splinter: (Japanese accent) Boys, what's going on?

Leo: Mikey brought a Mobian with him, who apparently can make his hands disappear.

Splinter looked at Asonja.

Splinter: Who are you, sonny?

sand-like particles fixed his hands and he brought his arms back down. "Asonja, sir." He answers normally.

Splinter: Alright. *studies Asonja* You look like you'd be good at Kung Fu. Would you like me to teach you the art of Kung Fu?

Asonja shrugged. "I don't see why not. I'm up for it."

Splinter: Okay, come with me.

Splinter walked to the Kung Fu dojo.

Asonja followed along, occasionally walking around in confusion, hidden awe, and sometimes visible neutrality.

They then got to the dojo.

Splinter: Okay, Asonja-san, let's begin your training. First, copy my movements. I'm gonna perform The White Lotus.

Splinter then proceeded to perform the Kung Fu technique The White Lotus.

Asonja copied as much as he could, a bit sketchy with balance and strength. He didn't ask if he was doing it right, but instead just watched and copied as he was told.

Splinter: Not bad, but it could use a little more work. Let's work on it over the next few days.

"I suppose." Asonja said, going back to his original stance. "I'm not entirely that strong to begin with, but I can develop with some time."

Splinter: Let's continue the training then.

Splinter then continued training Asonja.

With Blade...

Amy and Blade were now driving Blade's motorcycle around Station Square, because they got bored from hanging at Amy's house.

(You can temporarily play Amy, so it's a little more fair.)

Amy was holding onto Blade from behind as they traveled the streets and intersections. "I haven't heard from that hedgehog friend of yours lately. What's he been up to? Emma hasn't said anything about his whereabouts either."

Blade: Last time I saw him he was in his apartment before I left to go back to your baby shower. What he has been up to, I don't know.

"Aren't you a bit worried about him?" Amy asks. "I mean, sure, he can be a jerk sometimes, but don't you think something could've happened to him? We should at least check back at the apartment or find Liam about it."

Blade: Yeah, I am a bit worried about him...Let's check his apartment.

Blade then drove towards the apartment. Once they got there, Blade looked through the window. No one was there.

Blade: Hm, he's not home. I'll call Liam.

Blade then phoned Liam.

Liam was at a comedy show with Triton. They were watching Dr. Eggman perform a stand up show. Suddenly, Liam's phone rang. He picked up.

Liam: Hello? *looks at everyone* I gotta take this one.

Liam walked into the hallway.

Liam: Hey, Blade. What's up?

Blade: Have you seen Asonja? Amy and I are worried about him.

Liam: Last time I saw him, I offered him to come to a comedy show with me and Triton. He refused, I insulted him and left with Triton.

Blade: You left him all alone in the streets?! What kind of friend are you to do that?!

Liam: I'm sorry! I'll help you find him! Where are you guys?

Blade: At Asonja's apartment.

Liam: Okay, we're coming.

Liam hung up and went to Triton.

Liam: Triton, we gotta go. We gotta find Asonja.

Triton: Okay.

Liam and Triton left.

Blade: Okay, Liam and Triton are coming to help us find Asonja.

"That's good..." Amy says, a bit relieved. "I know that Asonja needs to get insulted sometimes, but I think Liam needs a bit more patience with him. Asonja will get better eventually, and we should all know that by now. He needs a bit more faith in himself, to me."

Blade nodded in agreement.

Blade: I agree. Asonja will eventually get better if he believes in himself. Now let's just wait for the guys.

Sometime later, Liam and Triton arrived.

Triton: Okay, we're here. Let's look for him.

Amy had a concerned face for a moment. "I would smack you two with my hammer if I could for leaving him like that, but I won't do that because this is the first time this happened. Now, with that out of the way, where do you guys think he could've gone?"

Liam: Maybe he's down in the ocean to check on Emma. He might've been worried about her so he went looking for her.

Blade: That's a good theory. Let's check down in the ocean.

The group went over to the beach. Blade took off his clothes, ran into the ocean and put on his necklace. His white tail appeared. Liam gave Amy a shark tooth necklace too.

Liam: Put this on after getting into the water and you'll turn into a Merhog. Don't ever take it off underwater or you'll drown.

"Got it." She puts it on once she got to the water and swam off with Liam.

Triton, who turned back into a Merhog after taking off his magic jeans and Blade followed them. Blade smiled as he looked at Amy's Merhog form. She had a pink fishtail and a red bra.

Blade: *thinking* Man, Amy's such a pretty little Merhog. Whether she's a Merhog or hedgehog, she's as cute as a bunch of newborn puppies and kittens together in a basket.

They then got to Mertopia. The Queen saw them arrive.

Queen: Hey, Liam, Blade, Triton. If you're looking for Emma, she's here in the palace. Also, who are you, young Merhog? *points to Amy*

"Amy, your highness." She bowed a bit in respect.

Queen: Okay. Right this way.

She then led the group to Merna's room.

Blade: Hey, Emma.

"Oh, Blade! Great to see you!" She swam over, not giving anyone dirty looks not even to Amy. Infact, they hugged each other as a greeting. "What's up? Why're you guys here without any notice?"

Blade: Have you seen Asonja? He got into a fight with Liam and we can't find him. He's not in his apartment.

"What..?" She looked a bit worried, and fumed a little bit. "Tell me what happened, and in detail. I knew I shouldn't have been gone for too long..."

Blade: I think Liam can tell that the best. *glares at him*

Liam: Well...

Liam told everything to Emma in detail.

"...I see." She lightly smacked the top of his head. "Don't do that again, alright? Lose patience like that and something drastic could happen to Asonja. You need to keep a closer eye on him next time, okay?"

Liam: Okay...

Blade: Let's go look for Asonja back in Station Square.

Merna: Yeah, go ahead and do that. I'll take care of Tim once he gets back from the cinema.

"And I'll be staying here as well, despite me wishing to find him too." Emma says. "I'll be going alone with Merna to find Tim, and when Tim is found, I'll come along at a later time. Sound good?"

Blade: Sure, let's go.

The group then swam off to find Asonja.

(I gtg, it's bedtime. Cya.)

(Bye. I'll continue later when I come back tomorrow after school.)

(Okay.)

Though, there were no signs of Asonja around Mertopia, nor in the surface. On the beach, there was a black-scaled dragon, reading a book. He was levitating with crossed legs, and reading his book with reading glasses. He seemed to be expecting someone.

When Blade's group arrived at the beach and took off their necklaces, they saw the dragon.

Blade: Whoa, it's a dragon! Who are you?

"Oh, hello there." The dragon closes the book, and takes off his glasses. He stood on his two legs, seeming to be about 6 feet tall. "My name is Zoralth. Who might you all be?"

Liam: Hey, you're Asonja's twin brother! Well, I'm Liam Monteiro, this is my older step-brother Blade, his girlfriend Amy Rose, and our friend Triton.

Blade: Yeah. We're looking for Asonja, because we can't find him.

"Ah. I see." He stretched a little bit, his total wing span creating a 20 foot across. His wings eventually folded after stretching. "He tells everyone about me, like I'm some sort of God or something. Not sure why, but, anyway, he's missing? Where have you checked?"

Blade: At his apartment and down in the ocean. He's not at either of those places.

"...Have you checked the sewers?"

Blade: ...Not sure why we would do that, but okay. Let's go, gang.

They nodded and Blade and the gang went to the nearest manhole cover. Blade opened it and they went down the manhole.

Zoralth didn't follow. He stayed there on the beach.

Meanwhile, with Tim...

Lori and Tim had gotten out of the cinema. Tim's face was covered in lipstick stains because Lori apparently gave him some sugar.

Lori: Now how about we go find your sister?

Tim: Sure, let's go.

Lori and Tim then tried finding Emma.

She was swimming around, and looking around, enjoying the scenery.

Lori and Tm then found Emma.

Tim: Hey, sis! You're looking good!

"Thanks Tim!" She giggled a bit at his appearance. "Seems you had some fun, very glad you did. Anyway, Liam and the others went to search for Asonja in the surface. It appears he has gone missing after a little fight."

Tim: Bummer mejores. Let's go look for him then.

Lori: Before you go, here's my shell phone (Lel, gg) number.

Lori then gave her shell phone number to Tim.

Tim: And here's my number.

He gave Lori his number too.

Tim: Okay, let's go, Emma. I'll see you later, Lori.

Lori: Okay, bye, Tim! Bye, Emma!

'Tim waved and then swam off to the beach.

Emma had followed along. Zoralth was there, in which he waved to Emma. She waved back, smiling a bit. "You must be Zoralth I have heard about, right?"

He nods. "Mhm. One and only, ma'am. I believe that is your little brother Tim. Pleasure to meet ya kiddo, I'm Zoralth, Asonja's twin brother."

Tim had taken off his necklace so his legs would come back.

Tim: How do you know my name?

He shrugs. "It's a mystery~" He chuckled a little bit. It wasn't an evil chuckle, but a friendly one. His appearance, however, made it slightly hard to tell if it was evil or not.

Tim: Okay. Do you know where Asonja could've went?

He shrugs. "I don't know, but I have several hunches. Liam and the gang already showed up and I told them to check the sewers. I feel that if he is not in the surface or in the underwater palace, he must be between or in the air, which is impossible. Therefore..." He points down. "In the sewers."

Tim: Alright.

Meanwhile, with Asonja...

Master Splinter was still teaching Asonja Kung Fu.

Splinter: You're doinig well, Asonja-san.

"I'm surprised I'm even keeping up with you." Asonja stated. "I feel rather strong; stronger than ever, actually."

The training was interrupted when they heard the Turtles shout.

Raphael: INTRUDERS!

The Turtles grabbed their weapons and pointed them at Blade and the gang who had stumbled upon the Sewer Lair.

Leonardo: Did Shredder send you to destroy us?

Blade: Listen here, I don't know who the hell you are and what the hell you're talking about.

Raphael: Don't play games with us!

Leonardo: Raph, calm down.

Splinter and Asonja walked in.

Splinter: Boys, what's going on?

Donnie: Some people came into the Sewer Lair.

Liam: Asonja!

"Oh, of course." Asonja crosses his arms. "You guys again. You came back to spread more insults or to apologize?"

Liam: Asonja, I'm sorry for calling you a stubborn train wreck. I didn't mean it, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

"...That was unnecessarily cheesy, you know that?" Asonja asked. "I'd forgive you flatly, not in...that way, yuck. It does not sound good...yeah, but why bring everyone else here?"

Blade: Amy and I were worried about you. Right, Amy?

Amy nods, agreeing with Blade.

"Why would you be worried about me? I have my own life to attend to, surely you guys should've just forgotten about me and I'd be on my merry way with..these guys." He points behind him to the turtles and Splinter. "They're actually taking care of me pretty well."

Blade: Emma is worried about you too! She cares about you the same way these guys, whoever they are do.

Liam and Triton nodded in agreement.

"...True...but I don't think that I am right for her. I'm a hassle to be with, obviously." He looked down and away for a moment, just looking around for a moment.

Blade: ...If you feel about it that way, then you do so. Goodbye, Asonja...

Blade turned around and left. A tear rolled down his cheek as he walked away.

Liam: Your negative attitude disgusts me...

Liam left too.

Triton: I thought you were a nice guy, but I guess you've proven me wrong...

Triton left too.

Asonja just shakes his head. "Quit guilt-tripping me..." He mutters as he walked away, seeming to just walk at the side of the sewer.

Blade: Amy, are you coming...?

"Oh...yeah." She climbed up to the surface. When they all got to the top, Zoralth had appeared, but way bigger than usual. His whole arm fit into the sewers, grabbed Asonja and fished him out of the sewers. "Alright, Mr Negative Nancy, time to get out of your hiding spot." He says, as Asonja was now fully out and dropped to the ground. Zoralth then shrunk to his normal size, cleaning off his arm. "Never though I would go in there..."

Suddenly, the Turtles hopped out the manhole. They had their weapons equipped.

Mikey: What are you doing to my friend?!

"Chillax, he's my twin brother." Zoralth says. "I do not wish to fight you, but I suggest you please get back down before you are seen. Only a suggestion, though. Asonja will be fine up here in the surface for a little while. He will visit, I promise."

Donnie: Yeah, Mikey. He won't be gone forever.

Mikey: Okay then. Let's get back down there quickly and inform Master Splinter on what happened.

The rest of the Turtles nodded and they hopped down the sewer, but not before Raph closed it.

"Right, I do believe this little quarrel is done and over with." Zoralth crossed his arms and looked at Asonja for a moment, who was looking away. "Look at me when I'm talking to you, hedgehog."

Asonja snapped to Zoralth's attention, and he continued to speak. "Now...I know you're comfortable being alone for the rest of your life, I am too, but you have to get out of your comfort zone. You can't live in this tight space that you call a comfort zone anymore, I know I wouldn't. What is making you stay like this?"

Asonja said nothing. Instead, Zoralth answered for him with another question. "Is it the thought of failure? Embarrassment? Shame? That was the past, Asonja. The more you constrict to the past, the more you'll isolate yourself. If you continue to do this, you may not even afford to survive in this period. You know you could've died without my assistance decades ago. I couldn't afford to lose you, my brother, the same bloodline. And you're not thankful of me saving you?"

"N-no, it's not that..." Asonja replied, obviously not wishing to talk with Zoralth pushing him to an emotional breakdown.

"What is it then, Asonja?!" Zoralth rose his voice some more. "What is causing you to be like this?! The only one damaging yourself, is you! Not Eggman, not the school children. Those were only placeholders for your mental set to build up from the very THOUGHT that you were born as a failure,and you will forever think that until you came up with a solution to your OWN problem. No one's going to babysit you anymore, Asonja. Not even me. I won't be around all that much, but look around! You have Liam, Blade, Amy, and even Emma! Even Emma you're turning down, the girl you saved moons ago. You SAVED someone's life, and you STILL think negatively! What the hell, Asonja!? What the hell?!"

Asonja had collapsed on his knees, clutching his head and tearing up waterfalls, but still wasn't saying a word. Asonja had finally reached his emotional breakdown with Zoralth's words, in which he stood there with his arms crossed, and giving him a glare with his purple slit-pupils.

Liam: Uh, Zoralth, I think something's wrong with Asonja.

"It's natural, Liam." Zoralth answers. "This is insight, a realization. All Asonja's trying to do is to comprehend it and learn from it."

Liam: Ah, I see.

After a while, Asonja just laid there, sobbing silently. '"Even Emma you're turning down, the girl you saved moons ago." 'Zoralth's words rang inside his head for a considerable amount of time before Asonja gets up and wipes his eyes. "As much as I hate to admit it Zoralth, but you seem to be right...I have been stuck in the past, haven't I...? After all those years of hard work, trying to fit in that school was an absolute pain."

"Yes, it was, Asonja." Zoralth nods, and approached Asonja. "Don't forget what I said. You have me, these guys, and Emma. Don't even think about being alone for the rest of your life, because now, you fit in with them. You're with them, and there's no way your turning back now. Right?"

"R-...Right." Asonja looked uncomfortable, since he hasn't interacted with a group of people for a long time, so he wasn't quite used to it.

"Good. Now, get out there and gain a good reputation." Zoralth's wings sprouted and he blasted off into the air, disappearing into the sky, not giving any hints on what he meant.

Triton: Zoralth is right, Asonja. You have Emma, you have Zoralth, you have us. We'll help you get back on track.

Blade: Yeah, we're always there for you.

Liam: So don't quit now!

"...He is right, I will say that, but the only problem is that I don't know HOW I'm going to readjust." Asonja states nervously.

Blade: How about you get a job, for starters?

"What kind of job...?" Asonja asked.

Blade: Well, I heard your local neighborhood supermarket is now hiring cashiers. You could try that.

"...Perhaps I am more on the lines of a construction worker, carpenter, or something with 'creation' involved." Asonja scratched his ear for a moment. "Not art, though, I can't do art. I need a high paying job that I know I am comfortable and good in, like those I said previously and maybe some Chemical Engineering or Programming."

Liam: I might know someone who can help you with that.

Liam got out his phone and called a friend.

Liam: Hello, Sam? Yeah, it's Liam. I'm calling because a friend needs a job. Really? He can come over to apply now? Thanks, Sam! Okay, see you there!

Liam then hung up.

Liam: I have a friend who works at a Chemical Engineering Place and you can come over to apply now. Let's go!

Liam took Asonja there.

Asonja was quite surprised because he could've sworn the last time he went job hunting weeks ago, nothing of that name popped up on the wanted list.

Meanwhile, Amy, Triton and Blade found Emma and Tim.

Blade: We found Asonja. He was in the sewers with some mutated turtles. Liam is now taking him out to a job application.

"Great! I'm glad he's okay." She replied. "I'm also glad they're getting back together again. I missed him."

Triton: *nods* Zoralth had to convince him, but it worked. Zoralth then launched himself into the air and went to who-knows-where.

Blade: Asonja's lucky to have a brother who cares for him.

"Yeah. But I wonder where their parents are..." Emma wondered.

Blade: Well, I have Psychokinesis, and using that, I learned they're in a better place"...

"Aww...poor guys." Emma said synpathically. "They must be so lonely."

Blade: Yeah, I suggest not telling Asonja about it.

"I'm sure Asonja would be fine if I were to ask him." Emma says, her curiousity getting the best of her.

Blade: Alright. Nice tiara, flowers and bracelets by the way.

"Oh! Thank you!" Emma giggled a bit.

Blade then looked at Tim.

Blade: And who are you?

Tim: I'm Tim, Emma's autistic brother.

Blade: Ah, yes. Asonja and I rescued your sister one night while she was out to buy you medicine.

Tim: Thanks for saving her.

Blade: No problem, kid. What's up with your face, by the way?

Tim: Uh...Well, you see...Uh...Um...

Tim got as red as a fire truck.

"We can answer that at a later time." Emma quickly broke the awkwardness. "The only important thing we have now is to fix up Asonja as best as we can."

Triton: Yeah. Say, feel lke hanging at Asonja's apartment?

Blade: Sure. What about you, Tim?

Tim: Okay. And you, Emma?

"I'll always follow you Tim."

Tim: Okay, let's go then.

The four then went to Asonja's apartment.

With Liam and Asonja...

Liam had taken Asonja to KEM-A-KAL, the facility where Sam works.

Sam: So, this is your friend, Liam?

Liam: Yes, this is Asonja Masenko, Tell Sam something about yourself, Asonja.

"...I like science?" Asonja replied, not very good at telling everyone about himself.

Sam: Hm, alright. So, how old are you and do you have any experience with science?

"I am around 17 years old, and I have taken advanced placement classes of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. All online."

Sam: Well, that's good enough. You're hired, you can start tomorrow.

"Sweet." Asonja stated, seeming to not have a change of normal emotion. "I might need to remember this place so I can come tomorrow."

Liam: I'll get you here tomorrow, and I'll put the place's address in your apartment so you'll remember.

Sam: Okay. See you tomorrow, Asonja.

"Likewise." Asonja states as he traverses his way back to the apartment complex.

Liam followed Asonja. Meanwhile, Tim, Emma, Triton and Blade were at Asonja's apartment watching tv. Triton had his arm around Emma.

She didn't really mind it, and she wanted to tell him that she was already taken, but didn't want to hurt his feelings anyway, so she decided to let this one slide.

Blade: *thinking* He knows she's taken, yet tries to hit on her anyway...He really likes her...

Emma was thinking of the same thing, and she knows that Blade knows. But does he know that she knows? Crap, the narrator turned this into a paradox just continue before this goes too far...

(@.@ I'm confused now...) (That's the point, it's Psychology just continue @_@)

Triton: So...Emma...Would you like anything to drink?

"Oh uh...sure, Triton. That'd be great, thank you." She replies.

Triton got up and went to the kitchen. He started pouring Emma some orange juice. Tim was getting angry, but tried controlling his rage. Emma could notice this.

Emma lightly tapped Tim and whispered to him. "I know what he's up to, but please let it slide...I don't want to hurt his feelings by denying him, alright?"

Tim: *whispers back* Fine...

Emma patted his head and continued watching TV.

Triton handed Emma the orange juice.

Triton: Here you go, babe. *winks at Emma and sits back down*

(Okay, going to bed now. Bye!) (Bye bye)

She blushed a bit and took the juice. "T-thank you, Triton."

Tim got even angrier, so he got up, punched a wall and then angrily walked outside.

"Tim!" Emma called for a moment before quietly excusing herself from the group and put the juice on the counter to go after him.

Tim walked down the street, quietly spouting profanity as he angrily walked through the city.

Tim: That damn son of a b***h, trying to steal Emma from Asonja...Stupid motherf**ker...

"Tim!" Emma ran up to him, panting a bit from running down the stairs and into the street. "What's gotten into you?" She asked with a raised voice.

Tim: What's gotten into me?! That f**king prick is trying to seduce you while you already have a boyfriend! That's horses**t!

"Calm down, Tim!" Emma pleaded. "I know I have a boyfriend, I would never replace Asonja for Triton, you know this too! I don't want to hurt Triton's feelings by just upright denying him! I might friendzone him though if it goes too far, but please, calm down!"

Tim: *takes a deep breath to calm down* ...Fine...

Tim then returned to the apartment and sat down.

Emma eventually sat back down as well with the cup of juice in her hand. She took small sips occasionally.

Triton: This sure is a nice show, right, Emma?

"Yes, it is." Emma agrees. "I might watch another episode tonight."

Triton: Now how about we have a little sugar?

Triton then got close to Emma to kiss her. Before he could do so, Tim hooked him in the face.

Tim: Keep your lips off my sister, you prick!

Triton groaned in pain.

"Tim!" Emma jumped a bit. "You didn't have to do that!"

Tim: Sorry, sis. It's just my instinct jumping in.

Suddenly, Liam and Asonja came in.

Liam: We're home! *sees Triton on the floor* What the heck happened to Triton?

"He tried to kiss me." Emma stated. Asonja just had his arms crossed for a moment, and he says, "I see..." in a very vague tone.

Triton: *groans* I'm sorry, Asonja...I just love her so much...I couldn't help myself...

"I understand, but she's already taken. I'm sorry." He responds.

Triton started crying, got up and ran out of the apartment.

Blade: Man, Triton's that type of guy who just can't get a girl...

Tim: ...I regret punching him now...

"You should've let me taken care of it, Tim." Emma says, but she patted his head. "But I do thank you for protecting me while Asonja was gone. It was brave of you." Even Asonja agreed by nodding. Without saying anything else, he kissed Emma for a moment before leaving to find Triton.

Triton was sitting on a bench somewhere in Station Square, crying.

Triton: *sniff* I'll never find someone like Emma...I'll die alone with no wife and no kids...

Asonja stood there, behind him. He didn't bother sitting down, but just hung his arms over the end of the bench. "The more you get desperate, the less of a chance you'll get one. There's plenty of women out there for you to get; just got to least expect it."

Triton: Okay...

Triton then got up.

Triton: I'm gonna go back to Mertopia. Mom's probably worried about me. Bye, Asonja, and thanks for the advice.

Triton then ran to the beach.

He waved goodbye and vanished into sand when he arrived back at the apartment. "Now I don't have to walk."

Blade: So, what did you tell Triton?

(Final edit for today, because I'm going to bed because I'm tired and I don't want to wait for jacks**t any longer.)

(Alright then.)

"I told him he shouldn't be so desperate for love, but to forget about it until he least expects it; he'll get a girlfriend when he least expects it for that reason."

Blade smiled and nodded.

Blade: Yep. That's the way it goes.

Liam: Yeah. He'll find his girl eventually.

Tim: *nods* Also, how did you appear here out of nowhere, Asonja?

"My Nanites." Asonja responds. "It's the system that gives me my body. I can turn into anything, move anywhere, etc." His body turned into a sand-like substance again, and traveled across the room before turning back into his form. He suddenly smirked and came up with an idea. "I got a good idea for a prank to pull on Triton."

Blade: Go ahead. I'm sure he can take a joke.

He formed into sand, and basically turned into a female version of himself. "I'll come down to Mertopia looking like this, and maybe he'll take an interest in me. And after he's completely unaware, I'll jump in and say, 'Hey, I'm glad you like my new look!'." He chuckled.

Liam: Isn't that a little cruel, considering he just had his heart broken a second time?

"That part I'm just joking on. I'll occasionally turn myself into the female whenever he needs me. He won't know." He says. "This is my way of helping him prepare for a Merbian girlfriend of his own."

Liam: That's really nice of you, Asonja.

Blade: Yeah. Your heart is bigger then most people would say.

"I know, I don't know why people say that.." Asonja said, but Emma came up and gave him a bear hug. She says, "That's what makes you special~." Asonja blushed in response.

Tim: Yeah. Now go ahead and encourage that lonesome Merhog!

Asonja nodded, gave Emma a hug and a kiss on the lips before turning into sand particles to transport himself to the beach. He reformed once he got there, put on the necklace, and dove into the water toward Mertopia.

Triton had informed his mother he was back and was now at the Mertopian Arcade, playing the Simpsons Arcade Game.

Asonja arrived in the arcade, and formed into his female form. He even changed his voice to sound like a female. At this point, Asonja went over to a random game and played on it.

Triton then lost the game and had no more coins to continue it. He then looked at Asonja.

Triton: Man, that Mergirl is cute. I wonder if she's single...

Triton swam over to Asonja.

Triton: Hey there. I'm Prince Triton. Who are you?

"Hm? Oh!" Asonja staggered back a little bit, a bit surprised to see Triton. His voice was unrecognizable, and a females. "You can call me...Tiana. And what's the Prince doing here?"

Triton: To have a little fun, just like everyone here. What about you?

Asonja shrugs. "Oh, I like to have a little fun here myself. Here, have a few more tokens to beat that game." He handed over a few of his, about half.

Triton: Thanks, Tiana.

Triton swam back to the game and inserted the tokens to continue playing.

He leaned on the machine, watching him play. "Oh, you need to go that way, not there. There's less enemies in this direction."

Triton nodded and did as he said.

(I'm having homesickness to an old website of mine. The Super Mario Wiki, and more specifically, their forum the Super Mario Boards. I got permabanned there in early 2015 due to a three way altercation with a British girl and an Australian boy. Every beg and plea to come back has been rendered useless, and even something as simple as a friendly conversation won't do. I just want to return to the forum, but alas, it'll never happen...)

(I'm very sorry. I get nostalgic too sometimes, but I learned to get over the losses. All I can really say is; shit happens.)

Soon enough, Triton beat the game. "See? How easy is that once you get that trick?"

(I know...Life is unfair...)

Triton: Thanks, Tiana. That's something I needed. Say, feel like getting a drink?

"Sure. Take me anywhere you please for a drink." He responds.

Triton: Okay.

Triton took Asonja to the Vanilla Merclub and ordered two glasses of cola. He handed one to Asonja.

Triton: Here you go.

He takes it and takes a sip of it (Actually, this is ironic because I have a cola with me right now. Cheers! *spills it everywhere*) "Thank you, Triton. How'd you know Coke was my favorite?"

(Lawl. XD)

Triton: It's a coincidence, I guess.

Triton drank his coke too.

He drank from it too, keeping the female form up pretty well. He puts the coke down after drinking the whole glass. "I suppose it is."

Triton nodded.

Triton: So, where are you from?

"I actually recently moved into this city." He answers, not giving anything specific.

Triton nodded.

Triton:I understand. Gotta get away from your old hometown, huh? Well, that's good, because Mertopia's one of the best cities in the ocean. I hope you'll enjoy your time here.

"Thank you." He held Triton's hand, smirking a bit. "Times have been pretty rough where I've been, but it's nice to see that a prince can understand a peasant."

Triton: It sure is. Let me guide you through the city.

Triton then swam off with Asonja, showing him where everything was.

Even though Asonja knew fully well where everything was, he pretended like he was new. His Tiana disguise was working perfectly.

Triton: So, what do you feel like doing?

He shrugged. "Anything in particular, really. I got a lot of time to kill."

Triton nodded and took Asonja to Mertopia Springs. A male green tailed Merhog was sitting at the desk.

???: Ah, hello, Prince Triton. How can I help you today?

Triton: Me and my friend Tiana want a treatment.

???: Got it. Fufu, Jeb, we got customers!

A male purple tailed Merhog and a female purple tailed Merhog swam over. Apparently they're man and wife.

Jeb: Good to know, Mr. DeVito.

Fufu: I'll take care of Prince Triton.

Jeb: Then I'l take care of his friend.

Triton and Asonja were taken to the massage room. They both got a massage from Fufu and Jeb.

He laid there, pretty relaxed. "Whoa, that's pretty good..."

(Okay, I'm about to faint from sleep deprivation in a second so, I apologize if I don't come back after a while. I'll be coming back as late as 2:00 PM my time)

(Okay, have a good snooze.)

Triton: I love this spa...

"I can see why..." Asonja responds, trying not to fall asleep from how good it feels.

Jeb: Mr. DeVito uses the best wellness methods in the sea to treat his customers like kings and queens. And he pays well.

Fufu: Yes. My husband Jeb and I have started up this business together with Mr. DeVito, and we wanted to do the massages.

Triton: You're doing a great job at it...

"Yeah, I can't argue with that." Asonja states. "You deserve every penny." Asonja has never complimented anyone other than Emma, but he wanted to make sure to avoid his compliment-less nature in front of Triton.

20 minutes later...

Triton paid for the treatments and then took Asonja to another club, this time an entertainment club. A musician named K.K. Slider (He's from Animal Crossing, by the way.) was performing there.

K.K. Slider: Welcome to the show, everybody. Glad you could make it. Are you all ready like Freddy?

Everyone: Yeah!

K.K. Slider: Alright. I'm taking request, if you got an itch for an old favorite. You can either name the song you want to hear or tell me how you're feeling. It's all cool with me.

Triton: Hey, Tiana, how about you ask him for a song?

"Uhh..." Asonja rubbed the back of his head. "I don't know any good songs in mind. You go ahead and ask."

Triton: Alright.

He then swam over to K.K.

Triton: Yo, K.K.. I'd like to hear Surfin' K.K., please.

K.K.: You got it, Prince Triton. I'll keep on playing 'til my head goes swaying. You're no square, so I'll play you fair. Pull up a chair.

Triton sat down next to Asonja.

K.K. got his guitar ready and then started speaking.

K.K.: This one was requested by our beloved Prince Triton, it's Surfin' K.K., people.

The audience clapped and K.K. started playing.

(This is how the live version of the song sounds.)

Asonja quietly listened, his hands to his lap. He wasn't much of a music person, but he still listened and quite enjoyed it.

(Also, which big American city do you live near? I need to know so I can calculate our timezone differences.)

Eventually, K.K. finished and everyone clapped.

K.K.: Thank you, thank you. Who wants to hear another song?

Everyone: Me!

K.K.: Anyone else want to request something?

Audience: We'll let you pick!

K.K.: Okay. How about Go K.K. Rider?

Everyone cheered as K.K. got his guitar ready and started playing.

(Charlotte) (I'll look it up.)

Asonja continued to listen.

Later, Triton and Asonja left the club.

Triton: Thanks for the fun night, Tiana.

He then handed Asonja his shellphone number.

Triton: Here's my number. Call me sometimes.

He nods. "I will. Thank you." He even gave him a kiss on the cheek for more realism. He swam up to the surface, taking off the necklace and forming back into his regular form. "Well, now I can say I've kissed a guy...I feel no shame" He walked back to his apartment.

(Which state is it?)

Liam, Amy and Blade were all back to their homes. Emma and Tim were still there, obviously.

Tim: So, how did it go, player?

(North Carolina)

"He knows nothing." Asonja responds. "And it was my first time I had kissed a guy." After Asonja says this, Emma giggles a bit.

(I think we have a 6 to 7 hour timezone difference.)

Tim laughed.

Tim: Good to hear. Well, I'm going to bed, so I'll see you two tomorrow.

Tim then went to bed.

"I'm going to bed too. Goodnight, Asonja." She says, kissing him goodnight before walking to bed too. Asonja slept on the couch.

The next morning, Liam came to Asonja's apartment to guide him to his work. Liam knocked on the door.

Asonja groggily opened the door, his hair all over the place. "Eh? Oh, hey Liam. Just woke up, like, 10 seconds ago."

Liam: I'm here to guide you to your work. But I guess I'll let you get ready first.

Liam walked inside and sat down on the couch to watch tv.

Asonja did less than getting ready: he cooked ramen to eat, and combed his hair. He didn't shower, or change his clothes. "Alright, ready."

Liam: Okay.

Liam took Asonja to KEM-A-KAL.

Meanwhile, Blade was in Mertopia, swimming around in his Merfox form.

Blade: This is so nice. I love swimming down here.

(You can play Merna for a while if you want to).

Merna nods. "Me too. It's beautiful."

Blade: Hey, where'd you come from all of a sudden?

"I'm a sneaky one, that's for sure~." Merna giggled.

Blade chuckled.

Blade: So, what do you think of Liam so far?
