User:Sonicrox14/Echo the Hedgehog

Echo the Hedgehog (エコー・ザ・ヘッジホッグ,Ekoo za Hejjihoggu?) is a brown, female, anthropomorphic hedgehog with Sonokinetic abilities. She quietly bears the curse of her past and chooses to share it with none.

History
Not much is known about Echo's past, but it can be guessed she had an unhappy childhood, seeing as she dislikes talking about it. Although the subject is quite sensitive, most characters constantly asked her what had happened in her past to make her so miserable, to no avail. The character's background, next to her cold demeanor, is mostly what makes her so mysterious.

Meeting Sonic
This story tells of the day Sonic and Echo had met.

''I awoke to the sound of a bird's tweeting in my ears. I slowly opened my eyes a few moments to sunrise and sat up in my favorite tree. I reached into my jacket and pulled out my flute, which I have been playing for quite some time now. As I played A Person's Warmth, the sun rose faster, as if it was trying to listen to the song. My name is Echo. Echo the Hedgehog. I am alone, and have always been alone. I've never had a real friend. No one's ever cared about me. But that all changed that one fateful day...''

''When I finally stopped, I let out a sigh. "Just another day, I said. "Nothing special, nothing new." I leapt down from the tree and suddenly felt a strong breeze fly past me. It gave me a pleasant feeling, though I didn't know why. That's when I realize that the wind was so powerful it blew my instrument out of my hands. I chased after it to no avail, and just when I was about to give up hope, a white glove caught the flute with hardly any effort. A beautiful voice said to me, "Is this yours"? I looked down to find a blue hedgehog looking right at me, holding the flute between his fingers. For a moment I felt dizzy, then I regained my consiousness. I swiped the object from him, and simply replied, "Yes, it is." I then walked back to my tree and jumped directly on it's branch. He then looked at me, almost puzzled. "Is everything alright?", he asked me. Looking down at him, I then gave him the same look he gave me, for no one had ever cared for my well-being before. "Why would you care? You don't know me", I retorted. I put away my flute so the same incident wouldn't repeat. He then asked me something I did not expect: "Do I need a reason to care?" At first, I thought he was joking. I came down from my tree and looked directly into his eyes. They were a shining emerald green. "By the way, he added, "My name is Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog." Everything about him, even his name, was mysterious to me. He wasn't like everyone else I've met. He was different. Almost...nice. However, I knew that once he knew the person that I was, he would never want to see me again. I reached out my hand and said, "Echo." He proudly shook it and then turned to leave. "See you soon, Echo!", he let out as he sped off into the distance.''

''"Sonic the Hedgehog", I said to myself. We'll meet again. I know we will.''

Princess Jasmine
Jasmine is the Sonic and the Secret Rings version of Echo.

Guinevere
Guinevere is the Sonic and the Black Knight version of Echo. She is a travelling black knight.

Sonic X
In Sonic X, Echo's callous behaviour is even more present. Her and Sonic develop a friendship through racing. Usually, when dealing with Statyx, she uses sarcastic, sassy comments that often annoy him. In an episode of Season 4 (fanon), Amy goes wild looking for Sonic, and by the end, it is revealed that Echo challenged him to a race, and according to Sonic, "time got away from us".

Personality
Echo is what is described as a "quiet mouse" character. She is somewhat violent in nature, though she dosen't mean to show it. Echo is very apathetic and prefers to be away from everyone else. Charming, cynical and pessimistic, she shares a similar personality to Shadow, but far more stubborn and rude. Echo can be sarcastic at times, and also be very shy about her feelings about Sonic, going as far as to run away from him sometimes. These "feelings" may revolve around the one thing they both have in common: speed, however according to Echo, she believes love is a "mental illness". Despite her apparently emotioness demeanor, Echo is very easily discouraged. Echo is not completely heartless, and will help someone who really needs it. She refers to herself as a "drifter", or "Migratory Bird", and goes where the wind takes her, travelling from place to place. Echo is stoic, patient, and ignores her own feelings, sometimes going for days without food or rest until she passes out.

Echo, when she is not running, can be found napping in a tree, or playing her flute. It can be noted that Echo has Catoptrophobia. She likes to run mainly in deserts and canyons.

Abilities
Echo is a Sonokinetic, able to emit large sound waves that from her pores. She can run just as fast as Sonic can, often running so fast she appears to be teleporting from place to place, but really is just running faster than the naked eye can track. If she delivers a blow directly on the forehead, she could easily wipe anyone's memory of anything, though she rarely has to use it. For some reason, although Jezz has the ability to "learn the past of a person he sees", he cannot clearly see Echo's past for some reason. She can alter her voice to easily mimic another character's. If Echo lets out a shrill scream, she lets out even bigger soundwaves. Echo is also a self-taught flautist. She has the ability to control the volume of any sound or even completely mute it.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Echo's first friend in a long, Sonic and Echo have crossed paths often. Echo is quite fond on the hedgehog, eventually developing a crush on him (not one she's too willing to reveal), though she rarely treats him like she does to most people. Echo mostly refers to Sonic as "Molasses", due to their equal speeds. Sonic can sometimes show interest in her as well (although this may just be his personality).

Amy Rose
Amy refers Echo as a "witch" because of her attitude. Echo, in turn, has a dislike of Amy, usually ignoring her rather than talking to her. In Sonic: Equalized, she finds out about Echo's feelings for Sonic, and winds up losing her temper and fighting her.

Statyx the Hedgehog
Statyx and Echo have a sort of humourous relationship. Statyx tries to get Echo to open up and tell him what's bothering her, to no avail. He also knows of Echo's (constantly denied but true) feelings for Sonic, and has on occasion tried to blow the secret. Echo is not afraid to get into a fight with Statyx, especially when Sonic is brought into the conversation.

Shamia the Meerkat
Echo and Shamia have a strong bond. Shamia looks up to Echo and sees her as her mentor, while Echo sees Shamia as a little sister. Echo will often look out for Shamia, warning her to keep a safe distance when danger is nearby.

What would be another quote that describes Echo? I can advance forward and I won't get lost Behind all my lack of patience, I hold on to the hopes I haven't forgotten I savor the fair, gentle winds. From here, I advance towards the start of the future No tomorrow's no regret

Trivia

 * Shamia has a red bindi on her forehead; so does Raven.
 * Echo shares not only Raven's voice actress, but her voice.
 * Echo has Raven's cynical, stoic, sarcastic personality, and carries a dark past that she'd prefer not talk about, like Raven does.
 * Shamia is a Umbrakinetic, and Raven also has dark powers.

Echo's Journal (Blog)
Dear Journal...

Echo &amp; Fou (Role Play)

 * Fou: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I have a question! Why are you always so droopy?
 * Echo: It's who I am, Fou. -_-
 * Fou: Yeah, but what made you who you are?
 * Echo: Just some stuff in the past. Nothin' special...
 * Fou: Yeah, but what!? Whaat!?
 * Statyx: I knew this was a bad idea. When Fou's like this, he's like a starved dog: He won't give it up until you give him something to chew on.
 * Echo: Well, here's a tidbit for you, Fou: I'm a charming, cynical pessimist. Meaning I don't talk about past events.
 * Fou: Cynecal peesimahst? What does that mean!?
 * Statyx: Ai yai yai. Remember Echo, he may be a GUN agent, but he's still only 8, so try to avoid big words. Anyway Fou, do you remember what I was like before we met Sonic &amp; his friends?
 * Fou: And Blaze?
 * Statyx: Uh, ye-yes, that's right. Do you remember?
 * Fou:...Oh. I'll be right back! *Flies off*
 * Statyx: *groan* The things he'll do to satisfy his curiousity.
 * Echo: I don't even wanna know what he's gonna try...
 * Fou *flies back*: i found out who can help! He said he'll be here in a second!
 * Statyx: Let me guess, 3..2..1!
 * Sonic *runs up towards them*: Hey everyone!
 * Statyx: (Fou, you little idiot! You just don't know when to let it go!)
 * Echo: *blushing* Uh, S-Sonic!...er...hey, Molasses. (when I get my hands on that firebird, he's gonna be chicken stir-fry!!)
 * Statyx: (Whoa, that was a change in demeanor. Wait a minute...) Starts smiling (oh Fou you little monster you!)
 * Sonic: Fou told me you wanted to talk. Naturally, I was curious, since you never want to talk. So, what's on your mind?
 * Echo: (it's official: I hate birds!!) Eh, I was just...just-- (say something, stupid! SAY SOMETHING!) wondering if you wanted to race or something...?
 * Statyx: (ooooh, nice save)
 * Sonic: Hm, that's weird, Fou said you wanted to talk about your past. Now I'm confused.
 * Fou: Yeah yeah! I asked her about her past, but she didn't want to talk about it. Then Statyx reminded me that he didn't want to talk about his past before he met you and Blaze, so I thought you might be able to help Echo.
 * Statyx: (Fou, you continue to prove that ignorance is bliss)
 * Echo: [irritated] Aren't you late for a playdate with Cream right about now???
 * Fou: No. Why do you say that? So come on Sonic, help Echo talk about her past already!
 * Statyx: *chuckles* (Sorry Echo, you're dealing with an oblivious 8-year old. The usual tactics won't work on him. I just hope Fou doesn't hit a sore spot again.)
 * Echo: Fou, have you ever heard of the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"??? Because I feel it can really apply right here, right now! Now, if you'll excuse me... *jumps into a tree*
 * Statyx: Great. Now, I'm guessing that...
 * Fou: I'll go get her! *flies up into tree*
 * Statyx: Fou will go after her.
 * Sonic: Isn't Fou gonna have trouble keeping up with her?
 * Statyx: Actually, in perfect conditions, Fou's flight speed can surpass my running speed. And even without those conditions, Fou should be able to keep pace with her.
 * Sonic: Well, this'll be interesting.
 * Statyx: Yeah. (so long as Echo at least tries to keep it cool. If it comes to a fight, Fou's not the one we'll have to worry about.) Still, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on them.
 * Twister: GIRANIMO *lands on tree branch very panfully* AGH!!!!!!!! *falls off tree*
 * Echo: *litterally kicks Fou out of the tree* Go make your nest somewhere else, bird-brain.
 * Twister: Hey everyone, you must be Echo Im twister, one of Shelly's friends. ow ow ow man I hate painful landings.
 * Fou *catches himself in the air*: Hey, that hurt! What do I have to do to get an answer, fight you!?
 * Echo: No, I'm not gonna waste my energy on a little munchkin like you.
 * Fou: What did you call me!? *smoke comes out of his nostrils* That's it! You're going down! *charges at her, but stops in the air* Oh, wait. Statyx wouldn't like it if I fought you hear, so can we take this somewhere else?
 * Twister: Can someone treat MY PAIN HERE!!!!!!!!!!! (This is what I get for trying to introduce myself to Echo)
 * Echo: You're not worthy of a challenge for me, Fou. Come back 10 years later and the job's yours.
 * Twister: FOR PETES SAKE THIS HURTS HORRIBLY!!!!!!
 * Echo: *picks up Twister, then jumps back into the tree*
 * Twister: Thank goodness, yu know how to treat this pain? If not thanks for bringing me back to the tree.
 * Fou: That's it! *flies through the trees, catching up to and cutting off Echo*
 * Echo: What the-!?
 * Fou: Still think I'm too young!? Or are you just chicken?!
 * Twister: FOU YOU OVERSIZED TURKEY!!!! MY PAIN HURTS EVEN MORE. OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Twister: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TREAT THIS PAIN!?!
 * Echo: You've started something you don't wanna finish, hothead!! *homing attacks Fou*
 * Fou: *kicks Echo away* Ha! Remember who trained me? I know how to counter almost any speed ability!
 * Echo: *lands on her feet* Look, kid, I don't wanna have to hurt you, so why doncha just fly back to your nest and we'll call it a day? *makes eye of the tiger pose*
 * Fou: Hey, I'm stronger than I look!
 * Echo: I'm gonna go easy on you, since you're just a kid and don't know who you're up against.
 * ???: CHAOS CONTROL! *time freezes, a green hedgehog steps out, revealed to be Jezz* What's going on here? *to Echo* And who are you??
 * Fou: Oh great, the big-headed hedgehog is here! What do you want, Jezz?
 * Jezz: I was on my way home when I heard fighting noises, so I came to investigate.
 * Fou: Well, I was just about to put this droopy hedgehog in her place!
 * Echo: *jumps back into tree* I am going to bed.
 * Fou: *starts laughing*
 * Echo: What's so funny?
 * Fou: I can't wait to tell Statyx and Sonic that you were too scared to fight me!
 * Echo: *blasts Fou with a soundwave*
 * Fou: Oh, you want a sound battle? *Blasts Echo with Sonic screech*
 * Echo: *falls out of the tree* Oof! Not bad for a feathered mouse. *runs over to Fou, grabs him by the claws (feet) and holds him upside down*
 * (Claws?)
 * Fou: Really bad idea to bring a fire-user into close range! Fire Shot! *Blasts Echo with fireball*
 * Echo: (A fire-bender, huh...) *stands in front of the ocean* Hey, over here, you little flicky!
 * (Actually, he's a pyrokinetic, like Blaze. He just uses the fire differently)
 * Fou: Grrrrrrr! You think I'm stupid!!??
 * Echo: Wha-?
 * Fou: You think you can get me near the ocean so that you can cancel out my powers! Nice try bub! Sun Strike! *fires fireballs rapid-fire at Echo*
 * Echo: *dodges all except last one* *gets knocked into the ocean*
 * Fou: Haha! You're all wet!
 * Echo: *dosen't come back up and after a minute, bubbles appear*
 * Fou: *Flies over the ocean at a safe distance* Echo, I'm not an idiot. You can come up now.
 * Echo: *all that floats up is her jacket*
 * Fou:......Ahhhhh! Don't come up! Don't come up! *covers eyes* Okay, you can come up now.
 * Lucane:I have a question. Wat da FLIP is goin on here?!
 * Twister: Besides the fight I GOT A VERY PAINFUL LANDING ON A TREE BRANCH!!!!
 * Echo: *on the other side of the lake* Finally, I got away from that bird. *climbs up a nearby tree* ...I've really gotta get a new jacket...
 * Fou: *spots Echo* HEY!! I SEE YOU!!! *flies towards Echo at high speeds*
 * Twister: Step back fou *seen holding his eggpawn weapon* leave her alone,I followed her to this spot to get this pain gone and over. and you show up and make it worse, now you better run. *makes cocking weapon noise*

Lucane:You aint gonna really shoot him. He's just a kid.
 * Twister: I won't (its just a way to keep him from echo) and this way it would help echo help with MY PAIN!!!! ow ow ow

Lucane:*sigh* get a heating pad or something!
 * Twister: Wrong pain, what I mean s what happened to sonic in the OVA movie
 * Lucane:OH! *turns around* sorry!
 * Echo: Of all the hedgehogs in the world, I had to be the one who got stuck babysitting...
 * Twister: Don't be angry, you should see me when I was four. Lien-Da loved me till I fainted. and do not ask how she loved me. She just did was all. Very much.
 * Lucane:i dont really remember if i was babysitted or if i ever....never mind. and you were babysitting him?!
 * Echo: Well, whaddya call him following me around forever like he's lost.(?) Speakin' o' lost, where'd Molasses go.(?)
 * Twister: *sees Lien-Da looking for him* Well, time for me to proellor dash quickly and split, atleast the pains gone!!! *zooms off by propellor dash*
 * Lucane:Molasses?
 * Twister: *seens caught in a bush* Ahh great now she's gonna catch me and kiss me to death yet again *gets caught by bullwhip* Well, this will be the end of me for now seeya! *gets pulled off*
 * Lucane:good ridance. *whispers to Echo* he aint comin back.
 * Lien-Da: *dragging Twister* This time you won't be getting away
 * Twister: Well a least this does mean I will be kissed to death. After 8 years of it. I get past into the present.
 * Echo: Well, he may be loud and annoying but at least he provided some entertainment before he left. Anyways where did Sonic speed off to, out of curiousity?
 * Lucane:so you were talking about Sonic? i dont know. he wasnt here when i got here.
 * Twister: I knew you'd say that I played the old switcheroo on Lien-Da *Twister dummy is seen in Lien-Da's bullwhip*
 * Fou: *Pops up behind Echo* HELLO!!
 * Twister: Okay that was awkward, except the time until now, now thats awkward
 * Echo: How did I wind up with this crew... Okay, you guys stay here and chat all you like. I'm going home. *starts walking off*
 * Fou: *keeps following Echo* Sooorryyy. I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me something. Believe me, I can keep a secret!
 * Twister: I better go too because sooner or later Lien-Da might notice I pulled the switcheroo on her
 * Lien-Da: *screaming from a distance* TWISTER!
 * Twister: Well thats my que to propellor dash out of the scene *propellor dashes off to echo's spot and throws Fou to other location with water* Gotta hide form Lien-Da, hope ya don't mind.
 * Echo: *catches Fou before he hits the water* Do you realize you could really hurt him if you tried that? *puts Fou down and keeps walking*
 * Twister: Well all I know is that now I'M CAUGHT IN MY SECOND TREE!! *gets caught in bullwhip once again* well I'm gone for good, see ya *gets dragged away*
 * Fou: *keeps following Echo*
 * Echo: Are you really gonna keep following me? I did save you from falling into the water.
 * Fou: *laughs* All you saved me from is getting wet. Water doesn't hurt me, and I know how to swim. All water does is mess up my fire-powers.
 * Twister: Fou, sorry for calling you an oversized turkey. Plus, I playd the old switcheroo again. Also, I was wondering. Echo, can you swim?
 * Echo: That's for me to know, and you to find out. And if you try your so-called "switcheroo" again, I think I'll tell Lara-Su where you really are.
 * Twister: Wrong echidna, I said Lien-Da and she hasn't found out as I am here, and not there
 * Fou: I know how to figure out if Echo can swim! *Pushes Echo into the water*
 * Twister: Are you nuts!? What if she can't swim!?
 * Fou: Then we go in after her.
 * Twister: I'm going in anyway *jumps into water* DONT WORRY ECHO I'M COMING!!!! *dives underwater*
 * Echo: *walks back to shore dragging Twister back by his tail* Just so you know, neither of you are in a position to make me any more angry. As it is, you already owe me a jacket. *drops Twister*
 * Fou: Okay then *takes off vest* Here ya go! You can use this for now.
 * Echo: Um, thank you?
 * Fou: No problem! But I'm gonna need it back soon. Fou says I'm sensitive to the weather, and the vest is made to do something with my body heat to keep me warm, but I don't get it.
 * Echo: *stops and thinks for a second, then winces* keep it. *throws it back to him* I have a spare at my place.
 * Twister: Good thing I'm alive. Sorry if I made ya angry Echo.
 * Echo: [sarcastically] No, of course not. Getting thrown into water a second time by the same person dosen't make me mad at all...*continues walking*
 * Twister: I know your sarcastic you are angry. Just don't rip me apart. And thanks for saving me.
 * Fou: *continues following Echo* Uh, wasn't I the one who pushed you in?
 * Twister: Yeah we all know, but I drowned trying to save her.
 * Echo: Correction: almost drowned. Lucky for you both, I can swim. Just be happy I'm not feeling vengeful, Fou. *walks around pond*
 * Fou: But, if you had just told us you could swim, I would never have had to push you in, right?
 * Twister: So close. Oh well, thanks for saving me. I was wondering if I could repay you.
 * Echo: Nah, you don't have to. As long as I find my jacket, you're paid in full.
 * Fou: *holds up soaked jacket* Oh, you mean this?
 * Echo: Uh, yes. *picks up soaked jacket* but I can't exacly use it, can I?
 * Fou: Oooh, I can take care of that! *Breathes hot steam at the jacket, drying it* There ya go!
 * Twister: Then what am I gonna do with my bacon and egg sandwich?
 * Echo: *puts on jacket* Simple: eat it.
 * Fou: *looks at soaked food* Uh, sorry. I can't heat wet food. It never comes out right.
 * Echo: He meant he was gonna give it to me as a peace offering...
 * Twister: Fou it was dry when I bought it and I got back from the place just now.
 * Echo: Fou, thanks, but I wasn't hungry anyways. *jumps into tree* *lays on it's branch*
 * Twister: Hope ya don't mind if I join in *hops into other tree branch* this way, I can stay here and eat my good sanwhich in peace *takes a bite*
 * Fou: Hey wait a minute! *Flies up after her* You still haven't told me anything about your past!
 * Echo: Forget it Fou.
 * Fou: Hmmmm...Wait, is that Sonic and Statyx down there?
 * Echo: Hmm? *looks down from the tree*
 * Twister: I do see statyx. but best for me to stay up here.
 * Fou: (Hmmm, didn't get the reaction I was looking for, but...) Haha! made ya look!
 * Echo: Ha-ha. Very funny.
 * Fou: Hey, isn't that Sonic behind you?
 * Echo: Not funny Fou.
 * Sonic: Hey Echo.
 * Twister: Can someone help me? *caught in bullwhip grasp again* Well goodbye!!!! *gets dragged off*
 * Echo: Oh. Hey, Molasses.
 * Twister:Good thing she fell for it AGAIN!!!! And hey Sonic.
 * Echo: (Okay that fox is seriously giving me a headache...)
 * Statyx: Finally! We found you guys! So what's been going on?
 * Fou: Mmm, I haven't been able to get her to say anything! I think it was easier when Sonic was helping. *Gets in Echo's face* Do you have a crush on Sonic?
 * Statyx: *facepalms* (Fou you little idiot!)
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Twister: Huge adventure I should say, and anyone wanna bite out of my bacon and egg sanwich?
 * Tawny:[hangs on a nearby tree, hand placed on her cheek, eyes half closed, watching with an 'oh brother' look]
 * Echo: *falls out of the tree* Oof! *blushes hard* Fou, t-that's preposterous!! What are the odds of me falling in love with anyone???
 * Twister: I wanted to see how everyones doing plus, has anyone seen the freedom fighters today? Besides when I broke in and saved them.
 * Tawny: Pretty high, from the look on your face. *hops down* Long time no see, Echo, and hey Fou, glad to see you alive and well.
 * Echo: ??? And you are...? You know what-- I don't wanna know. It's sunset already and I'm not asleep yet. *hops back into the tree*
 * Twister: Well I'm gonna finish my sanwhich.
 * Tawny: Aw come on! I'm Tawny the Rabbit, the sports champ!... still don't recognize me? Oh well, suppose this IS the first time. I don't think you're going to stay in that tree for long. With Fou around, nothing goes your way.
 * Twister: Tawny, have you seen any of the freedom fighters just now?
 * Echo: *ignores them and tries to go to sleep lay on the branch*
 * Tawny: No, and I don't really care. Right now, don't disturb Echo. (By all the Flickies above and below, PLEASE don't let Fou speak up)
 * Echo: (Finally, someone with common sense...!)
 * Twister: (Believe me, Lien-Da had no common sense when she was with me)
 * Fou: Hey Echo, why did you blush so hard when I asked you if you had a crush on Sonic? You fell out of the tree too! *gets in her face again* Do you have a crush on Sonic!?
 * Statyx: *chuckles* Great, he's gone from one subject to another. Have fun with this one Echo.
 * Fou: If you do...*grabs Statyx and brings him up* Statyx can help! He's a 'ro-man-tic' whatever that means. He can get you together with Sonic!
 * Statyx: ......(You just had to make me a part of this, didn't you?)
 * Echo: I don't need 'romance' in my life, Fou! And everyone likes Sonic, duh.
 * Twister:Well Amy does BTW Sonic she's right behind you
 * Fou: But that's not what Statyx says!
 * Statyx: *Pupils narrow, his lips pucker*
 * Echo: What?
 * Fou: Yeah, Statyx says that it's obvious you like Sonic! As obvious as the color of your fur, I think he said.
 * Statyx: (Oh, crud)
 * Tawny: *rolls eyes* Statyx, try taking Fou somewhere else
 * Echo: Well then, Statyx, allow me to offer this as a rebuttal. *blows him a few inches back with a soundwave*
 * Twister: I better go to my place, you know who might be searching *zooms off*
 * Statyx: Hey, excuse me for taking note of the obvious!
 * Echo: What was that?
 * Statyx: Please. Whenever Sonic is around, your face erupts into red, and you become almost like a shy schoolgirl! Heck, if Fou can take note of it, doesn't that say something?
 * Fou: Hey!
 * Lien-Da: *serching for twsiter* has anyone seen a 2 tailed fox yae tall 55 pounds, black hoodie, mine hat, black shoes around here?
 * Tawny: We don't care, echidna girl. Echo, Statyx is kinda right...
 * Echo: ...
 * Tawny:Er, I mean... you only turn scarlet because you don't want to lose to Sonic in a race, I bet... (please let this work!)
 * Statyx: What, no sharp-tongued ice-cold insult? Did I say something? Or, did I hit the bullseye? I am an expert marksman after all.
 * Lien-Da: Whatever, must be here somewhere *runs off to show Twister is in hur bullwhip's grasp*
 * Twister: Never knew what hit her.
 * Echo: ... *makes a fist* *Dragon Ball Z punches Statyx in the cheek*
 * Fou: Uh-oh. Now you're gonna get it.
 * Statyx: Owww. Oh, now it's on you pessimistic hedgehog! *charges hands with electricity* You say you're outta Fou's league, well let's see if you're in mine!
 * Echo: Well, it has been a slow day... *homing attacks Statyx then at the last minute kicks him*
 * Statyx: *blocks the kick*
 * Echo: What the?
 * Statyx: Sorry Echo, but..*grabs leg, and slams her into the ground* You'll have to do better than that!
 * Echo: Impressive. This oughta be fun! *trips Statyx*
 * Shiver:*takin a walk* hm? oh my, a fight? *grinds teeth together* (he really dislikes fighting)
 * Statyx: *lands on hands* Bad move Echo!
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: *starts spinning on his hands, whipping up a tornado* Because I have my own way of creating a twister!
 * Shiver:Excuse me. what's the point...*mumbles* nevermind
 * Echo: *leaps out of the way* *spindashes Statyx*
 * Shiver:*quietly* you guys gotta chill
 * Statyx: I don't think so! *jumps out of the way* Now try this! *Bounce attacks Echo*
 * Echo: *glides upwards* Is that all 'ya got?! *stomps on the ground and creats a shockwave*
 * Statyx: Whoa! *jumps up into the air, then hovers* That was close!
 * Echo: How are you-!?
 * Statyx: Flying? *Does a few air tricks* Just one of my many tricks.
 * Echo: Well, then... *aims soundwaves at a hovering Statyx with a shrill scream*
 * Statyx: Thunder Shield! *Shield blocks soundwave* Sorry Echo, but my Thunder Shield is the perfect counter!
 * Echo: How's that?
 * Statyx: You see, my shield vibrates air molecules to create a shield. Your soundwaves are mechanical waves. They require a medium to travel through. In other words, air. Because of my Shield, your soundwaves have nothing to travel through. Meaning that your soundwaves, useless!
 * Echo: Guess we're gonna do this the lazy man's way, then! *rapidly homing attacks Statyx until his shield breaks*
 * Statyx: I don't think so! *Axe Kicks Echo, sending her to the ground* Did I forget to mention that I can use every one of Sonic and Shadow's attacks?
 * Shiver:THIS IS GOING TOO FAR!!! *shoots ice shards out of his hand onto the ground and freezes it*. We dont want any serious injuries! (he did the freeze thing so that they would slip and lol you get get hurt from a fall!) ok i gots a question. look at my avatar. what do you see?-from Sunny
 * Echo: *standing still so she dosen't slip on the ice* Fou, if you would be so kind as to melt this ice rink...?
 * Statyx: Now, why would he do that? I can fly for almost as long as I want, while you're stuck slipping and stumbling.
 * Fou: He's right. I won't do it unless Statyx wants me to.
 * Echo: Fou, I'll never tell you why I'm so cranky if you don't melt this ice.
 * Fou: Okay then.
 * Echo: Wha-?
 * Fou: I didn't ask you why you're always so cranky, I asked why you're always so droopy!
 * Echo: *stares*
 * Statyx: *facepalms, shakes head*
 * Fou:....What?
 * Echo: Never mind. Guess we'll just have to do this the hard way. *smashes the ice with her fist, creates a shockwave that breaks the ice surrounding her* Now, where were we?
 * Statyx: *whistles* Looks like I'm gonna have some fun! *lands on the ground* Now, let's get going! *charges at Echo*.
 * Shiver:hey wait a second! *stands between Echo and Statyx* why are you two fighting anyway!? it's no way to solve a problem!!!
 * Statyx:.....Allow me *Chaos Controls Shiver* Now, shall we continue?
 * Shiver:*turns invisible and dodges it* *appears behind Statyx* sorry, that wont work. but why are you guys fighting?
 * Statyx: *evil grin* Because I brought up the fact that...ECHO LIKES SONIC! Hahahaha!
 * Shiver:*sigh* and your fighting....because she likes him? oh wow you guys are....wow.
 * Statyx: No, because she's embarrased about it, and I, well Fou, brought it up in front of none other than Sonic himself!
 * Shiver:*walks up to Echo* well theres no need to be emmbarassed. everyone likes someone at somepoint, am i right?
 * Echo: STATYX IS A LYING PIG!!! *blasts Statyx* You think you know everything about me, but you know nothing about me! *lets out mutiple soundwaves* You thinks it's amusing to mess with someone's emotions. I never said I liked Sonic. I never said I didn't like Sonic. That's for me to know and nobody to ever bring up again!! *blasts the ground, making Statyx lose balance*
 * Statyx: Whoa! Geez, I'm not messing with your emotions, I'm just saying what you're not willing to admit! If I have to fight you because of that, I'm more than happy to oblige! AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LYING PIG!!!??? At least I don't lie about my own emotions!!
 * Shiver:WHOA WAIT A SEC!!!!!!! you guys REALLY need to stay AWAY FROM EACHOTHER AND PRETEND THAT NOTHING HAPPENED!!! GOT IT!?
 * Echo: Sounds like a plan to me!! *runs away from Statyx*
 * Shiver:*looks at Statyx* please dont go after her.
 * Statyx: Oh man, Shiver! Don't you know psychology!? Geez, I thought I'd be able to get her to open up a bit! Well, looks like it's the high road for me! *Races off after Echo*
 * Shiver:grrr I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP!!!! WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO KEEP TO OURSELVES! WHAT IF I TRIED TO MAKE YOU TELL ME SOMETHING THAT WAS ONLY YOUR BUSINESS?!
 * Statyx: *running along mountain pathway* Geez, when I said high road, I didn't mean literally. Oh wait! *spots Echo running on the ground* There she is! *jumps down*
 * Statyx: Hey Echoo noo! Look out!
 * Echo: What the heck!?
 * Statyx/Echo: Oumph! *Statyx lands on top of Echo*
 * Statyx: *rubbing head* Ouch. Even with my luck, that hardly ever happens.
 * Echo: Ahem! *Gives him an angry stare* Do you mind!?
 * Statyx: Oh uh, right. *Gets off of Echo* Sorry about that.
 * Echo: You know what I don't get? Why you keep following me.
 * Statyx: Well, do I need a reason?
 * Echo: You're not my Shadow. That's a reason not to follow me.
 * Statyx: Well, we were fighting, you left, and I followed. Simple as that.
 * Echo: You know, Statyx, maybe I'd open up to you every now and then if your mouth weren't so big. "Ooh, you've got a huuuge crush on Sonic. I can tell cause your face is the color of a tomato!" Well, BUBBLES CAN'T HEAR YOU RIGHT NOW!
 * (isn't that seperate from this?)
 * Statyx: Hmph. Just because I want to get you to open up, doesn't mean I'm going to treat you differently from any of my other friends. Heck, I make jokes about Rouge and Knuckles every chance I get!
 * Echo: *starts to walk away*
 * Statyx: Man, what's your problem? Is it really so hard for you to have fun once in a while?
 * Echo: I think I've made my point.
 * Statyx: Well excuse me for being taught the mentallity that "If you can't get an answer, use that person's emotions to get one". I can't help it. *beeper goes off* Oh crud! I almost forgot! I have a bit of entertainment planned, and it's gonna start without me! *gets up and is about to run off, but stops* Wait, I have an idea. *Turns to Echo* You're the type who likes to see when people are driven nuts, right? Well then, why don't you come along? That is, if you can keep up.
 * Echo: I'd rather not...
 * Statyx: What, do you doubt your own speed? It's understandable I guess, but Sonic said you were never one to back down from a race.
 * Echo: *zooms past him*
 * Statyx: Huhhh, strong girl, smart too, but she just makes it too easy. Hey, wait up! You don't even know where the destination is! *zooms after Echo*
 * Statyx: *Catches up to Echo* Sorry Echo, but...*Turns around and starts running backwards* I'm just as fast as Sonic!
 * Echo: *Sees Tree coming up* (and just as oblivious)
 * Statyx: *As the tree comes up, Statyx splits into electricity as he hits the tree, then reforms, still running backwards* Sorry Echo, but I'm also not as oblivious as Sonic! *turns around, and Statyx blasts foward, leaving a sonicboom and an echo* Just try and keep up!
 * Echo: *spindashes until she is a brown blur* Is that all you've got?
 * Statyx: Heh. *Statyx starts glowing* Sorry but that isn't all I've got! Lightspeed Dash! *Statyx blasts foward in a blur of light*
 * Echo: *disappears from sight*
 * Statyx: Ha, not bad! But you're not the only one who can hit true speed! *Statyx disappears from sight as well*
 * Echo (invisible): *clears throat* *was standing on his head the whole time*
 * Statyx: You know, that's a really bad idea.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: This! *Comes to an instant stop, sending Echo flying* Sorry. Besides, we're here now.
 * Echo: *lands on her feet* Okay, where are we?
 * Statyx: Look down there.
 * Echo: Huh? *Sees Rouge and Knuckles walking towards the same spot, unaware of each other*....I think I see where this is going.
 * Statyx: Just sit back, enjoy, and watch a master at work. But be ready, cause I'm, gonna need your help.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: Can you throw your voice, and change it?
 * Echo: Yeah. (Please tell me if this is wrong, it just made sense with her sound abilities)
 * Statyx: Then just be prepared to have some fun.
 * Echo: I highly doubt that.
 * Statyx: Well, 3...2...1!
 * Knuckles: Rouge, what are you doing here!?
 * Rouge: Hey, I should be asking you that!
 * Statyx: *Rubs hands together* And now we begin.
 * Echo: This is another one of your sick tricks, isn't it...
 * Statyx: Sick: No. Romantic: Also a no. Funny: Oohhhh Yess!
 * Knuckles: I want an answer now! What the heck are you doing here!?
 * Rouge: Well if you must know, I got a message saying the Master Emerald was gonna be here.
 * Knuckles: Well, I got a message saying that a thief was gonna try and steal the Master Emerald, and I could catch them here.
 * Statyx: Alright Echo, this is where you come in.
 * Echo: This outght to be good. Alright, what do I need to do.
 * Statyx: *whispers something into Echo's ear* Got it?
 * Echo: Fine.
 * Knuckles: Geez, what the heck is going on here?
 * Rouge (Echo): Why don't you tell me, you knucklehead.
 * Knuckles: What did you call me!?
 * Rouge: That wasn't me!
 * Statyx: *whistles* That was a perfect imitation of her voice! I'm impressed.
 * Now, *whispers something else into Echo's ear*
 * Echo: Alright.
 * Knuckles (Echo): Well, at least I'm not some gem-crazed bat!
 * Rouge: What did you say!?
 * Knuckles: But I-, That wasn't-, I didn't say that!
 * Statyx: Ehh, that one, not so perfect.
 * Echo: Hmph. Well, excuse me. It's harder to imitate a male's voice for me than it is for female voices.
 * Statyx: But why is *looks at Echo* Oh, right.
 * Echo: Grrrrr.
 * Statyx: *Embaressed* Well, moving on. Now we just hold off for a bit, and let them take it from here...
 * Blaze (her voice behind them) Statyx, don't you remember the picnic we scheduled an hour ago?!
 * Twister: Well atleast I'm alive. and now I too have a date. see ya CHAOS CONTROL! *teleports off to find shade*
 * Statyx: *turns around* Well uh, you see I, uh, hey. Very funny Echo.
 * Echo: What goes around comes around, Sparx.
 * Statyx: Yeah yeah yeah. Alright, now say this: *whispers something into Echo's ear*
 * Echo: What? I'm not saying that.
 * Statyx: Exactly, they are. That's the whole point of this.
 * Echo: Fine.
 * Rouge: You knuckleheaded
 * Knuckles: What did you say!?
 * Rouge (Echo): I can't believe I have a crush on you!
 * Knuckles: What!?
 * Echo: Wouldn't you say we're going a little too far...
 * Statyx: Hmmmm, no, don't think so. Shall we continue?
 * Echo: Alright, but it's your grave your digging.
 * Statyx: I'm willing to take that risk. Anyway...*whispers something into Echo's ear* Got it?
 * Echo: Okay then.
 * Knuckles: Are you nuts!? What the heck are you saying!?
 * Rouge *blushing furiously*: But that, what I'm saying is-
 * Knuckles (Echo): I can't believe I like this bat girl!
 * Rouge: What!?
 * Knuckles *blushing furiously*: But I, that wasn't-
 * Statyx: Pfffffft HAHAHAHAHA, oh, this is rich!
 * Knuckles: What the?
 * Rouge: Wait a minute...
 * Knuxouge: STATYX!!!
 * Knuckles: And hey, isn't that that Echo girl Sonic told us about?
 * Echo: Uh-oh, busted.
 * Statyx: Oh, calm down. Those two are slow-pokes. We can just wait for them, and then bolt at the last second.
 * Knuckles: Gragghh!! *Punches mountain, causing it to shake*
 * Statyx: Whoa! Oh yeah, I forgot that while he's a slow-poke, he's also a power-house!
 * Echo: Then why aren't we running?
 * Rouge: Yeah, why aren't you?
 * Statyx: Well you see...uh-oh.
 * [Rouge is floating right in front of them]
 * Rouge: You two are in big trouble!
 * Echo: Not me. It was all him. I was just watching.
 * Statyx: *grins, holds up audio recorder*
 * Echo: *Stares at recorder*
 * Statyx: *starts recorder, revealing Echo's role in the prank*
 * Echo: I hate you.
 * Statyx: Get in line Echo. Now if excuse us Rouge, it would be 2-on-1 and *turns around, sees Knuckles snarling right in front of him* Uh, Echo, I think it's time we RUN!!
 * [Statyx and Echo blast off in a double sonic-boom]
 * Echo: Told ya.
 * Statyx: Ya ya, just keep running!

Tales from the Book of Shadows
This is a collection of different stories involving Echo the Hedgehog. Each week a new story is added.

Fairytales in Trance

 * This is the story of Princess Jasmine, Echo's Sonic and the Secret Rings alter ego.

The Knight of the Darkness

 * The tale of Dame Guinevere, the second Black Knight of Sonic and the Black Knight. She is Echo's Arthurian counterpart.


 * Sonic: *resting in a tree* *thud* Hmm? "Yo, Molasses!" *looks down and sees Echo looking up at him* Echo! What's up?
 * Echo: You. Duh.
 * Sonic: No, I mean what do you need?
 * Echo: To return this book you forced upon--er, lent me. I couldn't make heads or tails out of it, so I just looked at the pictures.
 * Sonic: Uh-huh. And exactly what did you learn from this book?
 * Echo: That you're a terrible artist.
 * Sonic: I didn't draw tha--aw, forget it! *hops down from the tree* *takes book* Thanks. *book startsto vibrate* Huh? What the-- *book moves in all directions, Sonic never lets go* Whoa!
 * Echo: Uh, is that supposed to happen?
 * Sonic: Not that I know of! *drops book, book flies open, a light shines from the book* *both are blinded by the light and when it disappears, so does Sonic*
 * Echo: ...I guess that's not supposed to happen, either.
 * Sonic: aaaaaAAAA AAAAA AAAAAAAAH!!! *thud, gets his head stuck in the ground* *struggles to get his head out* Ugh, why does this feel so...*looks around* ...familiar? Aw, man, of all the books to lend her!
 * ???: Your highness!
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Percival, Gawain and Lancelot come running towards him*
 * Sonic: Oh, perfect.
 * Percival: Sonic, you have arrived at a most impeccable time! The kingdom is in danger once again!
 * Sonic: Is that the reason I got dragged back in here? *later on, at the castle*
 * Merlina: A new black knight has been terrorizing the nearby lands, stealing their goods and then leaving. He has not been caught yet, and we fear he may strike Camelot next.
 * Sonic: So if that's the case, *thumbs over to the Knights of the Round Table* why not have these clowns take 'im down?
 * Knights: HEY!
 * Merlina: I'm afraid he is much too fast to be caught. As a matter of fact, there are rumors going on that he may even rival you in speed.
 * Sonic: Rival, huh? Sounds like a challenge! I'll go after this new Black Knight for 'ya easy! *running out the door*
 * Merlina: Sonic, wait! You'll need this! *throws him a sword*
 * Sonic: *catches sword* Caliburn?
 * Caliburn: Who else? It warms my...well, I can't say heart, exactly.
 * Sonic: Ah, I know whatcha mean. Anyways, we got a knight to race! *blue blur*
 * Okay, so how do I get Sir Bors and/or Statyx into this?
 * I have a pretty good idea. [meanwhile, back in the real world]
 * Statyx: Yo, Echo!
 * Echo: Don'tbeStatyx Don'tbeStatyx ♪ Don't be Statyyyx ♪ *turns around* Yo Statyx.
 * Statyx: I haven't seen Sonic lately, have you?
 * Echo: Yup.
 * Statyx: ...okay. ...you gonna tell me where he is?
 * Echo: Yup.
 * Statyx 'kay... ...so...where is he?
 * Echo: *points to the book on the floor*


 * Statyx: *facepalms* Oh no, not that thing.
 * Echo: What is it?
 * Statyx: That's something more than just a book.
 * Echo: It is?
 * Statyx: Yup. It's a portal to a storybook universe set in Arthurian times.
 * Echo: Really? Wait, how do you know?
 * Statyx: I borrowed it once, and found out the hard way.
 * Echo: Then how come when I opened it, nothing happened to me?
 * Statyx: *shrugs* I dunno. All I do know is that Sonic probably isn't in much danger.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: Cause he's the king!
 * Echo: .....what?
 * [Statyx explains the events of SatBK to Echo, as well as his own experiences]
 * Echo: Wow, so Molasses is actually the king?
 * Statyx: Yup.
 * Echo: ... Statyx?
 * Statyx: Yes, Echo?
 * Echo: *bored look on her face, points to her face* Do you see this look on my face?
 * Statyx: Yeah..?
 * Echo: I am laughing.
 * Statyx: Oh, so you don't believe me?
 * Echo: No, I believe you. I just feel sorry for Camelot.
 * Statyx: Actually, you'd be surprised. He's actually quite popular there.
 * Echo: Whatever.
 * Statyx: *evil smile* Especially with the ladies.
 * Echo: *ear twitches* What?
 * Statyx: I mean, it is understandable. He did save their entire world, and is their king. Who knows, he might find someone special there.
 * And of course Statyx can't help subtly pushing Echo's buttons XD
 * Echo: ...I thought I mentioned the "love is a mental illness" theory already. Or is everything I say in your ears "wahp wahp wahp wahp, wahp wahp wahp wahp?"
 * Statyx: Hey hey hey, I didn't mention love. I'm just saying, you never know what could happen in there.
 * Echo: You just contradicted everything you said. Congrats.
 * [meanwhile, back in Camelot]
 * Sonic: *walking with Caliburn* I'm not seein' any Black Knights around here. Maybe he took off already?
 * Caliburn: I have my doubts about that.
 * Sonic: Heh heh. You pretty much doubt everything that I do.
 * Caliburn: Hmph! *black blur passes them*
 * Sonic: Whoo! Now we're talkin'!
 * [in the real world, the booms seems to vibrate on it's own accord]
 * Statyx: Whoa!
 * Echo: Interesting. *picks up book, it's vibrates in her hands*
 * Statyx: Don't just stand there, open it!
 * Echo: Don't tell me what to do! *opens book, it shows what's happening in Camelot*
 * Sonic: *chasing after the black blur* Yo!
 * Black Blur: *runs faster*
 * Sonic: So it's a race, eh? So be it! *goes faster, both are running at the same pace*
 * Echo: Who is that Molasses is after?
 * Statyx: I dunno, but whoever he is dosen't know who he's messing with!
 * Sonic: I'd like to keep this up, Speedy, but nobody messes with my kingdom! *homing attacks black blur, he dodges*
 * Black Knight with a helmet on: *female voice* Hmm. You are quite the fast one, are you not?
 * Sonic: I'd say the same to you, sister!
 * Black Knight: Let's see if your swordsmanship matches your agility!
 * Sonic: *draws Caliburn* You're on! *both charge, swords clanging*
 * Black Knight: Well, he's doing pretty good, I'll give him that.
 * Sonic: *knocks off Black Knight's helmet*
 * Black Knight: *raises head, reveals herself to look exactly like Echo*
 * Echo: What the...?!
 * Statyx: I shoulda seen that one comin'!
 * Sonic: Wha?! Echo...?
 * Lady Black Knight: Hmph. You are a better swordsman than I had anticipated, Knave. But it's time to end this.
 * Caliburn: Excuse me, madam, but I am the only one who calls him "Knave" around here!
 * Lady Black Knight: A speed demon with a over-sized, talking letter opener. How...quaint.
 * Sonic: *laughing* You pegged him on that one!
 * Caliburn: Fool! She is only trying to catch you off guard!
 * Lady Black Knight: *charges him* *both continue fighting*
 * Echo: Who IS that? Why does she look like me...?
 * Statyx: That would be your Arthurian counterpart, Echo.
 * Echo: Arthurian...counterpart?
 * Statyx: Yup. We each have one, all except Sonic, of course.
 * Lady Black Knight: Impressive.
 * Sonic: What did you expect from the Knight of the Wind?
 * Lady Black Knight: Wha?
 * Sonic: *knocks sword out of her hand, catches her* You heard of me, huh?
 * Lady Black Knight: You...you are the knight I have been searching for! True, I am a criminal in your kingdom, but I seek your assistance.
 * Sonic: *lets her up* What kind of "help" are you asking for?
 * Caliburn: HELP DIGGING YOUR GRAVE, THAT'S WHAT, KNAVE!! Can you not see she is only--
 * Sonic: *covers Caliburns mouth* You were saying?
 * Lady Black Knight: My kingdom, I'm afraid, is in famine. They have no money, and their monarch cannot feed them. They require me to go out and bring back as many food as I can for them to survive. You can imagine by now what that means.
 * Sonic: That you have to go around stealing as much as you can from other kingdoms...
 * Lady Black Knight: Precisely.
 * Sonic: Hm. Well, come back to Camelot with me, I can work something out with the Round Table.
 * Lady Black Knight: (to Caliburn) May I?
 * Caliburn: Please do.
 * Lady Black Knight: KNAVE! Do you not know you would be bringing back a criminal and we would both wind up on the guillotine? Besides, the only one that may associate with the Knights of the Round Table is--
 * Sonic: King Arthur? Well, you're lookin' at him.
 * Lady Black Knight: ...surely you jest.
 * Caliburn: He speaks the truth. I, Caliburn, also known as Excalibur, am living proof of that.
 * Lady Black Knight: ...I feel your kingdom's sorrow.
 * Statyx: Well how about that: you two both have the same opinion of Sonic.
 * Echo: Eh, she isn't so bad.
 * Sonic: Heh. I've got a friend like you back home. You two would get along juuust fine.
 * Lady Black Knight: Well then, shall we go?
 * Sonic: After you, Princess.
 * Lady Black Knight: I pray [wish]. *walks ahead of him*
 * Caliburn: I don't know about this...
 * Sonic: You're a cynical little butter knight, ain't ya?
 * Caliburn: *scoffs*
 * Sonic: *walks with the female Black Knight*
 * [Suddenly, a green blur blasts toward Sonic and the Lady Black Night]
 * Sonic: Look out!
 * [Sonic and the Lady Black Knight leap out of the way to avoid the blur, which causes an explosion]
 * Sonic: What the-!?
 * ???: I will not let you harm my kingdom!!
 * Sonic: Who the heck is that!?
 * [A green hedgehog clad in armor walks out of the smoke, towards the Lady Black Knight.]
 * Echo: Who is that?
 * Statyx: Ohh boy...
 * Echo: Don't tell me. You know him, don't you.
 * Statyx: You could say that.
 * Lady Black Knight: Halt! *reaches for her sword, Green Knight steps on it*
 * Green Knight: Your reign of thievery ends here, witch.
 * Sonic: What the...?!
 * Green Knight: *looks at Sonic* Whoever you are, leave now, and you shall not face the consequences for her actions!
 * Sonic: Yo! You've got it all wrong, she's-
 * Green Knight: Silence!!
 * Little somethin Shelly; Sir Bors never met Sonic, only Statyx hinself.
 * Echo: Man, who does he remind me of?
 * Green Knight: *draws his sword* Now, you shall pay for your actions against Camelot! *the Green Knight's sword is suddenly cloaked in electricity, and he swings it, sending out a powerful wave of electricity*
 * Echo: Wait a minute... *looks at Statyx* No way, that isn't...
 * Statyx: Yes, it is. That's Sir Bors, my Arthurian counterpart.
 * Echo: Wait, you know him?
 * Statyx: I told you, I found out the hard way what this book is.
 * Echo: That must have been interesting.
 * Statyx: To say the least.
 * Sonic: *dodges wave of electricity* Let her go!!
 * Green Knight: I take orders from no mere knave!
 * Sonic: Why does everyone call me a knave!? Is there some memo I didn't hear about!?
 * Lady Black Knight: *trips Green Knight, takes her sword* Now I'll show you a real fight, Green Knight!
 * Green Knight: *blocks her with his sword*
 * Shelly, Sir Bors doesn't know that Sonic is "King Arthur". As far as he knows, Sonic us just some knave. Please remember that.
 * Green Knight: You fool! I am Sir Bors, knight of the Round Table!! I will not allow you to further assault my kingdom!!
 * Echo: Well, I see he sings the same song as you.
 * Statyx: And that's a bad thing?
 * Sir Bors: *knocks away the Lady Black Knight* Prepare to die! *charges the Lady Black Knight, slashing*

Ehehe, sorry. I get it now though!
 * Sonic: *jumps in the way, blocks Bors' slashes* Grrah...!
 * Lady Black Knight: No, Knight! Please, run!
 * Sonic: NO! I'm not moving!
 * Lady Black Knight: You'll be destroyed if you don't move!
 * Sonic: I'll take that chance!
 * Sir Bors: *leaps back* Hmm, you Knave, show great honor and chivalry. You would have made an excellent knight, but now... *dashes foward, holding out his sword* You die!!
 * Lady Black Knight: *runs in front of Sonic* EQUALIZE!! *pushes back Bors, he lands on his back*
 * Echo: She really is me...
 * Statyx: Yeah, except nicer. Well, as nice as you could get.
 * Echo: *dosen't take her eyes off the book, kicks Statyx somewhere with her heel*
 * Statyx: HOI!! GAH...! *face turns light blue, lands on his knees* That was...very...cruel.
 * Echo: And as nice as I can get right now.
 * Statyx: At least, you weren't... wearing... heels.
 * Echo: I look like a cowgirl to you?
 * Sonic: Nice!
 * Lady Black Knight: Well, it was truly faster than you could react, you barrel of...Molasses!
 * Sonic: Sheesh! Some things will never change.
 * Lady Black Knight: *draws her sword* I shall end this for my kingdom. Slow One, either you help me or deliver the goods to my kingdom post-haste.
 * Sonic: I'm not leaving you here!
 * Lady Black Knight: Then only two of us will escape here alive. Someone's not going to be so lucky.
 * Sir Bors: Wrong. Only one of us shall leave here *gets up* And I shall not allow you near my kingdom!! *charges*
 * Caliburn: Enough of this foolishness!!!
 * [Everyone freezes, then look at Caliburn]
 * Sonic: Whoa, Caliburn.
 * Caliburn: Well, *ahem* it's just that all this fighting is completely worthless.
 * Sir Bors: Wait... Caliburn? *walks towards Sonic* As in, the sacred sword? *runs right up to Sonic* What are you doing with the legendary sword, weilded solely by my king!?!?
 * Caliburn: Simple, he is your king.
 * Sir Bors: .....Wh-what? *looks at Sonic*
 * Sonic: Uhh, yup.
 * Sir Bors: *stabs his sword in the ground and kneels before Sonic* My lord, I apologize! If I had known... the things I said!
 * Lady Black Knight: You weren't the only one baffled, Sparky One. I'm just wondering how long his kingdom will be standing. Hopefully, up until--
 * Sonic: Yeah yeah, I know! Your kingdom gets it's food, I'm working on that! We'd have been there already if not for this guy!
 * Sir Bors: Once again, I apologize My lord. If I had known that this lady was your mistress-
 * Both: *blushing hard* MISTRESS?!
 * Lady Black Knight: I am NO man's mistress!
 * Sonic: Yeah, you've got the wrong idea! I was just helping her and her kingdom out.
 * Lady Black Knight: Speaking of which, should we not head for Camelot?
 * Sonic: Yeah, that's right! Hey Greenie, you comin' with us?
 * Echo: *reading book, eyebrow twitching*
 * Statyx: *gets up, taking deep breaths* Okay, okay, I think I'm good.
 * Echo: *still looking at book, kicks Statyx again*
 * Statyx: AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!! *falls back over. High-pitched voice* What did I do that time!?!?!?
 * Echo: Nothing. I just did it because I couldn't kick this guy.
 * Sir Bors: Of course, anything for my king.
 * Sonic: Please, just call me Sonic, would ya?
 * Lady Black Knight: I'd sooner call you Molasses.
 * Sir Bors: One question though, your majesty: if you truly are the king, why do you allow her to insult you so?
 * Sonic: Let's just say she reminds me of a friend back home.
 * Sir Bors: Who in Camelot mistreats you, your majesty?
 * Sonic: Not Camelot! I'll explain on the way.
 * Lady Black Knight: Besides, he's not my king.
 * Sir Bors: Well, do you have special feelings for this friend?
 * Sonic: *acting just a tad bit nervous* What? No pfffffft, please! She's just a friend, really!
 * Echo: *sad look on her face*
 * Sir Bors: Well, does this friend have special feelings for you?
 * Echo: *blushes hard*
 * Sonic: *turns around* Alright, bub, that's enough. Honestly, you remind a lot of... remove your faceplate!
 * Sir Bors: What?
 * Sonic: You heard me, remove the faceplate!
 * Sir Bors: *puts up his faceplate, revealing a face identical to Statyx's*
 * Sonic: *chuckles* That explains so much right now.
 * Sir Bors: I don't understand?
 * Sonic: Tell me, have you ever met someone named Statyx?
 * Sir Bors: What? Yes, I have! Wait, if you know him, that must leave no doubt, you are the king! *bows before Sonic*
 * Sonic: Wait, you weren't sure I was the king?
 * Sir Bors: *looks up at Sonic* Forgive me my lord, but you don't exactly act like the traditional king.
 * Lady Black Knight: Told you.
 * Sonic: Ah, shut up Echo.
 * Lady Black Knight: Pardon?
 * Sonic: Eh...sorry. She's that friend I was talkin' about.
 * Lady Black Knight: And how possibly could you mistake me for your lady-friend?
 * Sonic: Alright, cut it out! She's just a friend, nothing more.
 * Echo: ...
 * Sonic: Anyways, let's get going, shall we?
 * Both: *nod, all three of them head for Camelot*
 * Statyx: *chuckles* Ouch.
 * Echo: *looks down at Statyx, who is laying on the ground, smiling*
 * Statyx: Now that was cold.
 * Echo: *looks back at the book* What would you know?
 * Statyx: Only that if you don't act at some point, "just a friend" is all you'll be for the rest of your lives.
 * Echo: ... ...I don't care.
 * Statyx: Yeah, that's why your face changed when he--
 * Echo: *steps on him*
 * Statyx: *lets out a squeak*
 * Echo: Any more questions?
 * Statyx: No, ma'am.
 * Echo: *turns the page*
 * Sonic: So you see, all the Black Knight needs is food for her kingdom.
 * Gawain: Lies! Do you not remember the Black Knight that was here in the past?
 * Lancelot: He nearly destroyed the kingdom, and that's what this Black Knight is secretly plotting as well!
 * Percival: How do we know we can trust this knight?
 * Sonic: But what if she's telling the truth? Besides, that was Camelot's Black Knight. This Black Knight is from a whole different kingdom! Right? Uh...
 * Lady Black Knight: Guinevere.
 * Caliburn: *alarmed* GUINEVERE?! The Guinevere?!
 * Guinevere: Is there not one Guinevere?
 * Sonic: You heard of her?
 * Caliburn: According to the legend, Guievere is...the king fiancee!
 * All: WHAT?!
 * Echo: WHAT?!
 * Statyx: *bursts into laughter* As if I weren't in enough pain! WA AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!! Echo, HAHA! Please, don't kick me again, it may prove lethal!!
 * Echo: I HOPE SO!!!
 * Guinevere: *takes a few steps back* Sure you Jest.
 * Sonic: Are you saying she's my wife?!
 * Caliburn: I'm saying she's your future wife. And I don't joke, my queen.
 * Guinevere: *twich* I only want to feed my people! When did I agree to this?!
 * Sir Bors: *chuckles* It seems my assumption that she was your mistress was more accurate than any of us thought.
 * Guinevere: I AM NO MAN'S MISTRESS!!
 * Sir Bors: Exactly, you're just his future wife.
 * Guinevere: *blushing hardly* But I- he is- ....graaahhhhh!! *stomps off*
 * Statyx: *breathing heavily* Tough luck Echo.
 * Echo: What do you mean?
 * Statyx: I mean, it looks like Sonic is spoken for! *bursts into further laughter*
 * Echo: Aw, shut your toothbox! if he dosen't like me, what makes you think he'd be into the idea of getting married to a SWORDSWOMAN?!
 * Statyx: What would that have to do with anything?
 * Echo: *turns back to the book* ...unbelievable...
 * Lancelot: So it's settled: the king will help Lady Guinevere's kingdom, and the two wed in a month.
 * Sonic: Whoa whoa whoa! Marrige? I met her, like, 2 hours ago!
 * Guinevere: And I have no intention of becoming a queen! *turns to Sonic* Your Highness, I'm sorry, but all I really need is for my home to be happy. I do not require a husband right now.
 * Sonic: I see we're singing the same song here. Plus, once business is finished, I'm outta here!
 * Caliburn: But--
 * Sonic: Merlina's been makeshift ruler since I left, right? Why can't she do that now?
 * Caliburn: Having a queen is one thing, but a temporary queen is not enough! Eventually, someone will have to take the throne, and who rather to do it than his own King Arthur?
 * Sonic: But back home, I have a life, and friends, and a world to protect! I mean *looks around, then at Sir Bors* Why can't he be the substitute King Arthur! He could do the marriage!
 * [Sir Bors and Percival jump at the statement]
 * Sir Bors & Percival: NO!!!!!
 * [Everyone suddenly looks at Percival]
 * Percival: *blushing, gaze darting around nervously* Well erm, that is to say... *looks at the ground, fidgeting a bit*
 * Guinevere: Whatever the case, I cannot be queen.
 * Sonic: And I can't be king.
 * Caliburn: I'm afraid there is only one solution...
 * Sonic: What's that?
 * Caliburn: We must find the heir to the throne.
 * Sonic: There's an heir?
 * Caliburn: Yes. The one called Amir.
 * Sonic: Amir?
 * Caliburn: The Princess of Camelot. It is unknown who conceived her, but she is the rightful heir.
 * Sonic: So then why not just go find this Amir?
 * Merlina: Because she was captured by the dragon that attacked before your arrival. That's why you were summoned here when we heard the Black Knigh was on her way. We need a protector.
 * Gawain: Sir Tom A'Lincoln has already gone after the beast, but we are worried he may not make it back.
 * Sonic: So, what if he does? I'm sorry, really, but I'm afraid that Amir and Tom are gonna have to take over.
 * Percival: Even if they do come back, the kingdom wouldn't be able to stand another attack before.
 * Sonic: Whoa whoa whoa! One thing at a time! This kingdom just needs someone to follow, and right now Merlina and the kights can handle that. But Guinevere's kingdom is starving! We need to get them some food first!
 * Guinevere: *looks at Sonic with a hint of admiration* Th-thank you Sonic.
 * Sonic: *thumbs up* Don't mention it, Gwen.
 * Guinvere: ...G-Gwen?
 * Sonic: You don't mind, do you?
 * Gwen: *blushes* N...no. Gwen sounds... nice.
 * Sonic: Alright, we've got some food to deliver! *later on, crates of food are staked into a cart, and villagers whip their horses into action*
 * Sonic: You should be able to lead them to your kingdom, right?
 * Gwen: Yes, thanks to you. *gives Sonic a kiss on the cheek, Sonic blushes hard* Thank you, Knight of the Wind...*runs off, horses follow*
 * Sonic: ...didn't see that comin'. *waves goodbye to Gwen*
 * Echo: *still reading* ...
 * Caliburn: Now, we just need to worry about the safety of Sir Tom and Princess Amir.
 * Sonic: I could go check on them if you want--
 * Merlina: Look! *see Sir Tom (Jezz) riding back on his horse with Amir (Shelly)*
 * Sonic: Never mind. Well, my work here is done.
 * Merlina: *casts a spell, a portal opens up, with Sonic jumps through*
 * Echo: *the book begins to vibrate in her hands*
 * Statyx: *pulls her back* Watch it!
 * Echo: Whah! *drops book, Sonic jumps out*
 * Sonic: Ya miss me?
 * Statyx: Welcome back, Sonic.
 * Echo: *turns her back*
 * Sonic: ...what?
 * Statyx: Heh. She saw what happened back there.
 * Sonic: Really? Then I guess you noticed Gwen, huh?
 * Echo: *remains silent, starts walking off*
 * Sonic Echo? What's wrong? *catches up with her* Echo? Echo? What did I do?

Dang, I had an idea of some big thing happening, and before Sonic left, "Gwen" would show up in the typical princess/queen attire, and then... well I didn't think of anything specific after that except that Statyx would laugh his head off. Ah well, maybe another time.
 * Statyx: Uh, Sonic?
 * Sonic: *turns around* What?
 * Statyx: *points to his cheek*
 * Sonic: Huh? *wipes his cheek, looks at his hand* Gwen didn't have anything on her lips?
 * Statyx: *groans, facepalms*

Couple Troubles

 * Statyx blows the big secret, and Sonic and Echo start to work things out. But with Echo's temper, who knows who's going to get hurt?


 * Sonic: OW! *gets hit with a soundwave*
 * Echo: And don't you forget it, Sonic!
 * Sonic: *sits up* WHAT DID I DO?!
 * Statyx: Heellooo?
 * Sonic: What!?
 * Statyx: What just happened a few moments ago?
 * Sonic: Uhhh, Gwen left, and that happy couple, which looked alot like Jezz and Shelly, came riding in, and now here I am!
 * Statyx: *facepalms, shakes his head* Honestly, you are faster than a jet, but as thick as a castle wall!
 * Sonic: What are you talking about!?
 * Statyx: THE KISS!!
 * Sonic: OH!!! ...what about it. *leaps out of the way just in time to avoid another soundwave, this time a bigger one* It's official: Echo scares me more than Amy!
 * Statyx: Ehh, big hammer still beats soundwaves in my book, but that's not why we're here. Now think about it, who did that kiss come from?
 * Sonic: Uh, Guinevere...
 * Statyx: And who, or what, is Guinevere?
 * Sonic: She's Echo's Arthurian counterpart! I still can't tell where you're going with this, Statyx.
 * Statyx: Hmmm, *looks to see if Echo is out of earshot* Alright, now this is where it gets complicated. Now, you saw that my Arthurian counterpart, and Blaze's Arthurian counterpart like each other, right?
 * Sonic: Yeah, I caught that.
 * Statyx: *rolls eyes* Miraculously. Now, if Echo's Arthurian counterpart likes you, what does that tell you about Echo?
 * Sonic: ...uh...*scratches head* ...*tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, DING!* *shocked face, long silence, bursts into laughter* HAHAHAHAHA! WHOO HOO HOOOO! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
 * Statyx: *serious but calm look on face* I'm not kidding Sonic.
 * Sonic: *laughter gradually stops* rr--*clears throat* Really...? But-- but you don't mean...that's CRAZY! Echo hates me!
 * Statyx: Maybe now, she does.
 * Sonic: A-and she heard what I said about being friends, and the kiss, and the king and queen thing?
 * Statyx: *nods*
 * Sonic: But...*stops, stares at Statyx with an angry expression*
 * Statyx: ...what're you looking at me for?
 * Sonic: *runs over to Statyx and grabs him by the shoulders* And just HOW LONG did you know about this?!
 * Statyx: 'Bout as long as I've known Echo.
 * Sonic: And why didn't you say anything before!?
 * Statyx: Because whenever I tried to, Echo was around. Remember all those times Echo blasted me as I was about to say something?
 * Sonic: So...you mean this whole...and the--the date at Texas Motor Speedw--
 * Statyx: Yes, yes, and yes. Everyone knew this, Sonic. Even Fou knows.
 * Sonic: ...so how could I have not noticed?
 * Statyx: *smirks* 'Cause she's embarrassed about it.
 * Sonic: What?
 * Statyx: She's embarrassed that she's fallen completely in love with you, you idiot! She goes to every length she can to hide it!
 * Sonic: ...*chuckles* Wow, even my racing buddy has fallen head-over-heels for me. So...what do I do?
 * Statyx: Well, the first thing you should do is apologize.
 * Sonic: *shrugs* Sounds easy.
 * Statyx: *raises eyebrow* This is Echo we're talking about. First you'll have to survive long enough to get a word in edge-wise!
 * Sonic: *gulps* Oh yeah... that ain't gonna be too easy.
 * Statyx: Yeah. Oh, and could you do me a favor?
 * Sonic: What?
 * Statyx: Not mention that I told you.
 * Sonic: Why?
 * Statyx: She hates it enough that I tease her about it and try and bring it up; if she found out I actually told you, she'd obliterate me!!
 * Sonic: Good point. *runs off in the direction Echo went*
 * Statyx: ...heh, I can only pray for him now.
 * Sonic: *spots Echo* Hey Echo! Echo!!
 * Echo: *walking, hears Sonic, ignores him completely* Go away, Sonic.
 * Sonic: (Wow, no "Molasses". Now I know I'm in trouble) *runs up to Echo* Echo, hold on. I just wanna talk.
 * Echo: *still walking* There's nothing to talk about.
 * Sonic: *puts his hand firmly on Echo's shoulder* Yes, there is.
 * Echo: *shakes his hand off her shouldler, continues walking*
 * Sonic: *runs in front of her* Echo. Just listen, would 'ya?
 * Echo: Nope. *passes by him*
 * Sonic: *grabs Echo arm*
 * Echo: Paws off, Princess.
 * Sonic: Heh, "Princess"? That's a new one. What happened to "Molasses"?
 * Echo: I repeat: Let me go.
 * Sonic: Echo...I just wanna--
 * Echo: Want to what, rub it in my face that you're a king? That you're the "Knight of the Wind"? That you and my Arthurian counterpart are not man and wife?
 * Sonic: ...is that what's bugging you?
 * Echo: You're so clueless, you know that?
 * Sonic: I just want to apoligize, Echo.
 * Echo: ...
 * Sonic: Echo, do you.... like me?
 * Echo: *pupils shrink* ...(Statyx...!) *heartbeat sounds* ...no, I don't. ...Why?
 * Sonic: Call it a hunch. Now Echo *looks Echo right in the eyes* Do you like me?
 * Echo: *heartbeat sounds again, this time faster and louder* ...*eyes cross, Echo turns completely white and faints*

Hey Shelly, is Echo faking, or did the stress of telling Sonic how he felt prove just too much for her? Oh, and what about our other roleplay?

Nobody turns white on purpose. The love of her life is confronting her and she just coudln't take it. So lights out XD and I'm still waiting for you to add something over there, Kagimizu!!

Okay okay! Sheesh, I'm glad I didn't bring up the songs.
 * Sonic: *catches Echo* Whoa! Hey Echo, you alright?
 * Echo: *pupil-less eyes, out cold*
 * Sonic: *worried tone, shaking Echo* Hey Echo, you can quit faking now. Echo? Come on Echo, it ain't funny! Echo!!
 * Echo: *still out, nosebleed*

What does the nosebleed mean?
 * It means she's out cold. Duh.
 * Sonic: Oh man! *picks up Echo, starts running back towards Statyx* Statyx!!
 * Echo: *stiff as a board*
 * Statyx: Hm? *looks to see Sonic running towards him, carrying Echo* Whoa, what's up Sonic?
 * Sonic: It's Echo! I apologized, then brought the fact that she- and then I- and then she just-
 * Statyx: Okay okay, I understand. Just put her down.
 * Sonic: *gently lays Echo down*
 * Statyx: *examines Echo* Hmm, did you bring up her crush on you?
 * Sonic: Yeah?
 * Statyx: *chuckles* Then here's your proof.
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Statyx: The person she's completely head-over-heels in love with confronts her about her crush, and it all just becomes too much too fast for her to handle.
 * Sonic: Echo...?
 * Statyx: *picks up her hand, listens* I'm getting a pulse. She's still alive.
 * Sonic: *relieved sigh* I thought I had knocked the wind out of her for good...
 * Statyx: Again, this is Echo the Hedgehog we're talking about. She's too strong for her own good.
 * Sonic: Yeah...
 * Statyx: What you should be worried about is when she wakes up.
 * Sonic: Huh?
 * Statyx: Yeah, because you're gonna have to talk to her about it again.
 * Sonic: ......*gulps*
 * Echo: *groans, eyes slowly opens* Wha...?
 * Sonic: Echo?
 * Echo: *drowsy for a second, then furious* *grabs Statyx by the face, sizzling sound*  STATYX!!!  *offscreen, pounding sounds*
 * Statyx: *severly beaten* I thought I asked you not to tell her!?
 * Sonic: I didn't!
 * Echo: YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I KNOW WHO'S STUPID ENOUGH TO BLOW THE SECRET!! Do you NOT remember the you tried that stupid stunt?! *still beating him*
 * Statyx: But I was just trying to help!!
 * Echo: HOW DOES THAT HELP!?!?!?
 * Statyx: One of my friends was in pain, and another friend wanted to help, but that friend didn't know how to, because he didn't know the problem! I told that friend the problem, so he could find a solution and help the first friend!!
 * Echo: NOSY INSENSITIVE JERK! *explosion*
 * Statyx: *getting chased by Echo*
 * Echo: WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU YOU'LL BE NOTHING MORE THAN A GREASE STAIN!!
 * Sonic: *gets in between Statyx and Echo* Hold it Echo! We seriously need to talk
 * Echo: I don't wanna hear it, bub! I'm busy trying to rearrange Circuit City's face!!
 * Statyx: Ouch! Circuit City?
 * Sonic: Alright, first we talk, then you can murder Statyx.
 * Statyx: *clinging to a tree branch* TRAITOR!!
 * Echo: Mm...deal.
 * Sonic: Good. Now, let's just sit down and talk. *sits down*
 * Echo: *about to sit* *throws a soundwave at Statyx, then sits* Ready.
 * Statyx: *lets go of branch, falling to the ground and avoiding the soundave* Oof!
 * Sonic: Alright, now you promise you won't faint on me again?
 * Echo: No promises, dude.
 * Sonic: *sighs* Alright then, let's start it off simple. Echo, do you like me?
 * Echo: No. That is the single most disgusting thing I have ever heard -- and I used to get my 3 square meals from a dumpster.
 * Sonic: Don't lie to me, Echo.
 * Statyx: Eh, sounds like the truth to me.
 * Echo: *soundwave*
 * Statyx: *blocks with Thunder Shield*
 * Sonic: Echo, your earlier reactions say that you aren't telling me the truth here and now.
 * Echo: You wanna know why that happened? Then just sit still and listen. [silence]
 * Sonic: Echo--
 * Echo: Shh. [more silence, rumbling]
 * Sonic: Was that your stomach?
 * Echo: Precisely. I havent eaten in two weeks.
 * Sonic: Echo, you can only go up to ONE week without food.
 * Echo: Not me. I'm used to going longer. Why else would I faint?
 * Sonic: At the exact time I asked you if you liked me?
 * Echo: ...yup. Any more questions?
 * Statyx: Hey, I know how you can get the truth!
 * Sonic: Okay, let's hear it.
 * Statyx: KISS HER!! LAND A BIG LONG WET ONE RIGHT ON THE LIPS!!
 * Echo: *turns completely red in the face*
 * Statyx: *waves his hand towards Echo* And there's your proof.
 * Sonic: *looks at Echo* Would you like to re-submit your answer?
 * Echo: NO. *gets up* I'll come back after Statyx has been electrocuted.
 * Statyx: Echo, tell the truth or not only will I make you tell the truth, I'll make you go into the middle of town at rush-hour, and yell at the top of your lungs "I AM IN LOVE WITH SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!". Besides, he already knows the truth, so you might as well have the dignity to admit it.
 * Echo: Oh, I will. *evil, sadistic look in her eyes* I just have one little thing to take care of before then. Statyx...*reaches into her coat*
 * Statyx: *rolls eyes* Alright, if it will get you to finally admit it, then get it out of your system.
 * Echo: Good. Now close your eyes, think of the Bahamas, and hope for the best. *pounding sounds, Statyx screaming* [one hour later] *still going on*
 * Sonic: Alright, that does it! *runs over and grabs Echo's arm* What're you tryin' to do, KILL him?!
 * Echo: Ooh, good idea.
 * Sonic: *grabs both of Echo's arms* No--STOP THAT! I swear Echo, sometimes you can be a real--
 * Echo: *places her finger on his mouth* alright...I've got it out of my system. Now, what was that question you keep asking me...?
 * Sonic: Echo, do you like me?
 * Echo: Yes.
 * Sonic: STOP LYIN--wha?
 * Echo: Yes, I do.
 * Statyx: Wow. I nevew wat (thought) I'd shee da day dat Echo admit her feewings.
 * Sonic: Okay, now let's continue. When did you start liking me?
 * Echo: I dunno. Everyone likes you.
 * Sonic: ECHO!!
 * Echo: Alright, alright. I guess it was... *flashbacks to the day they met, Echo was lay asleep in a tree, and Sonic jumped in*
 * Echo: Huh...what the. *notices Sonic, goes back to sleep*
 * Sonic: Sorry.
 * Amy: *running with her hammer* *pant, pant* I can't believe Sonic missed our date AGAIN! *hits the ground with her hammer, causes an earthquake, and an apple falls out of the tree*
 * Amy: Ow!! Grr! *hits the tree*
 * Echo: Shut up, I'm tryin' to sleep.
 * Amy: Hey! Have you seen a blue hedgehog around here?!
 * Echo: Yup. *picks her foot up*
 * Sonic: No no, NO NO!
 * Echo: *kicks Sonic out of the tree, chaos happens below* Love. It's such a mental illness. *goes back to sleep* *flashback ends*
 * Sonic: That was you?
 * Echo: Yup. But it definetly didn't happen way back then.
 * Sonic: So...when?
 * Echo: Remember the girl who's flute you recovered?
 * Sonic: That was you too?
 * Echo: You've got a worse memory than I do.
 * Sonic: Well, I live a fast-paced life. It's hard to keep track.
 * Statyx: Keep tellin ya dude. You gotta slow down or you're gonna miss some real big stuff.
 * Echo: *steps on Statyx, he squeals* You gonna keep quiet now?
 * Statyx: *silent*
 * Echo: Good boy. Now then, you found out the truth, you found out how long ago it was. Anything else you need to know here and now?
 * Sonic: Well, why do you like me?
 * Echo: What?
 * Sonic: Well, you've put up that act for so long, I can't help but ask what you find attractive about me.
 * Echo: ...it's...because...
 * Sonic: Yes?
 * Echo: it's just...you're like, my best friend, Sonic. When you're around, I don't feel like I'm just a weapon to be used and discarded...to tell you the truth...you...you make me...happy...
 * Statyx: Aw...
 * Echo: If you talk to me you're gonna get punched in the face.
 * Statyx: Again?
 * Echo: Yes.
 * Statyx: Can I at least say that I can relate?
 * Echo: You can at "least" give us a moment.
 * Statyx: *smiles* By all means.
 * Echo: Then hurry up before I Equalize you out.
 * Statyx: No no, by all means, take your time.

P.S. Congrats on a solid 7,000 edits Shelly!!
 * Thanks!! :D *hi-5's Kagi* I'm a bit surprised myself!
 * Echo: O-U-T STATYX!

''You're welcome! I have to be honest and say I'm not surprosed in the least.''
 * Statyx: One problem.
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: How am I supposed to get out of sight with your foot on top of me!?
 * Echo: ...Ohh. *gets off of Statyx* Well, just remember that next time you want to get into my personal life.
 * Statyx: And just remember this the next time I get involved.
 * Echo: Uh-huh. *kicks Statyx* Get along, lil' doggie. Git along...
 * Statyx: *growls* .....fine. Oh, but you might want this. *tosses Echo a book*
 * Echo: What's this?
 * Statyx: *grins* Your journal. I suggest you put that in a better hiding place next time. *chaos controls away*
 * Echo: *picks it up* Uh...
 * Sonic: *looking at her*
 * Echo: This isn't mines I'm just holding it for a friend.
 * Sonic: Uh-huh. Don't worry, I won't read one page.
 * Echo: Scumbag Statyx, on the other hand.
 * Sonic: Echo, he's not a scumbag.
 * Echo: You're right...that's an understatement.
 * Sonic: ...
 * Echo: Mean and OWN it.
 * Sonic: Yeah *puts hand on Echo's shoulder* But I know you've got a soft side, and so does he. He just... tries a bit more to get you to show it.
 * Echo: Isn't that the truth...oh, and before I forget...*kisses Sonic, places her hand on his forehead* I'm not gonna forget this. You, on the other hand...*releases painful soundwaves*
 * Sonic: *screaming, passes out*
 * Echo: *shakes head* Another day, hedgehog. *soundwaves her journal, burning it* Another day... *walks off* Now to find Sparky. *cracks knuckles, runs off*
 * Statyx: *looks from behind a nearby tree, sighs* Echo, when are you gonna learn? *picks up her journal, puts out the flames* You can't keep trying to forget your past. None of us can, no matter how badly we want to. *looks over to Sonic* Well, better wake up the sleeping prince. *zaps Sonic's forehead*
 * Sonic: I'm up I'm up! Whoa *holds head* What happened?
 * Statyx: Echo tried to erase your memories, again.
 * Sonic: Again?
 * Statyx: Long story. Point is, Echo isn't ready to truly share her feelings, so until then, you'll have to act oblivious.
 * Sonic: Uhhh, okay? Don't know how I'll do it though.
 * Statyx: Just act the way you did before you found out.
 * Sonic: *shrugs* I can do that.
 * Statyx: Good. *puts journal under arm* Now I have to go, before me goose is cooked! *chaos controls away*
 * Echo: *earthshattering screech*   STATYX THE HEDGEHOG, WHEN I FIND YOU, I WILL SEND YOU TO THE MUTED DIMENSION 200 YEARS IN THE FUTURE!!   
 * Statyx: *looks to the sky* Looks like Echo's still on my tail. Now, is it possible for me to get some salt and pepper with that rice?
 * [Statyx is revealed to be in rural China]

XD Well, it looks that about wrapped up the roleplay. What now?
 * Yeah, too bad it isn't really canon. Sonic knowing how Echo really feels, Statyx having her journal; that could be really juicy stuff. As for "what no?", I guess I might as well ask about song results *sheilds self*

* opens purse, pulls out a bazooka* Certainly you didn't think I was about to let you get away with that. And why would I make that sort of stuff canon? It'd cancel Equalized, remember?
 * First, in all seriousness, have you been able to find anything? Second, how would that happen?
 * ) Haven't had the time (OR memory) to look. It'll take time to find a good one, I should have one soon enough.
 * &lt;spoiler&gt;
 * He dosen't find out until about her feelings 'till near the end of the game.
 * &lt;/spoiler&gt;
 * 1)Alright then. If that's the case, then just tell me so.
 * 2)I didn't know that one. And since that wouldn't work, then the journal wouldn't either.
 * 2)I didn't know that one. And since that wouldn't work, then the journal wouldn't either.

Sure wouldn't. (she really dosen't keep one, though. "Echo's Journal" was just a way for people to get to know Echo)
 * 'Kay then.

The Gleaming Stars in the Sky

 * In this next chapter, Echo befriends a celebrity who is targeted by Dr. Eggman


 * Echo: *gliding off rooftops* *stops on a rooftop* 3...2...1. *silence* *hops 3 rooftops over* 3...2...1. *more silence* This is Central City. Something must have happened by now.
 * woman's scream*
 * Echo: That's more like it.
 * [a tall, blonde woman in her 20's being chased by two Egg Pawns runs into the nearest alley]
 * Blonde: *panting*
 * Egg Pawn #1: DETECTING HUMAN LIFE FORM. *both find the girl hiding in the alley*
 * Echo: EQUALIZE! *jumps from the building and hits Egg Pawn #1 with a soundwave* *3 more Egg Pawns rush over*
 * Echo: *lands on Egg Pawn, one Pawn shoots at Echo, misses, and destroys the other one* HMPH! *kicks away Egg Pawns*
 * Egg Pawns: *lay smashed to bits on the floor*
 * Eggman: *over loudspeaker* Ah, well done Echo! You've managed to fend off my Egg Pawns. But don't think I'm through yet, I'll be back! *flies off*
 * Echo: Egghead. Now then... *turns around and girl is gone* *looks to her left and sees girl running off* (more coming soon)

Alone the world

 * This is the story of Echo's unhappy childhood and what made her what she is today. This story is coming soon to Forum:Sonic: Equalized

Between a rock and a hard place

 * In this story, Statyx pulls a prank that ruin's Echo's trust in him. But will one little mistake ruin their friendship?


 * Sharna: *hugging Sonic, squeezing him*
 * Sonic: *choking* Okay, Sharna, I think that's enough for one day. (or the rest of my life!)
 * Statyx: Aw, boy. Poor Sonic. I'm sure glad Echo isn't here to see this.
 * Fou: I'll go get her! *flies out the door*
 * Statyx: Nono, Fou! I said "glad", not "sad"--ohh!
 * Fou: *dragging a yelling and screaming Echo behind him* Hey, everybody! Look who I found hiding in a tree!
 * Echo: I was napping!!! Lemme go!!
 * Statyx: *facepalms* Oh Fou what am I gonna do with you?
 * Echo: You have until the count of three, Fou, or I will due something so bad to you it will be considered illegal.
 * Statyx: Don't bother Echo, he's oblivious. Just skip to zero so you can get your butt handed to you by an 8-year-old.
 * Echo: *takes off jacket so Fou can't drag her anymore*
 * Fou: AAH! Don't get up!! *covers eyes* Okay. You can get up now.
 * Echo: *gets up, snatches jacket* Hmph.
 * Statyx: Aiaiai, are you guys gonna fight or what?
 * Fou: Ooh, fight! Fight! Fight!!
 * Statyx: Looks like Fou is all for it.
 * Echo: *slips jacket on* I don't have time to spar with Shorty. *heads for the door*
 * Fou: .........*smiles*
 * [As Echo is walking towards the door, a Bawk noise is heard]
 * Echo: What?
 * Fou: Bawk bawk! Bawk bawk bawk baaawwwwk! *Fou walks and jumps around, flapping his arms like chicken wings*
 * Echo: What is he doing?
 * Statyx: *chuckles* It's his infamous "chicken routine"; it never fails to start a fight.
 * Fou: *lands in front of Echo, raises his butt, and (literally) shakes his tail-feathers at Echo* Bawk bawk!
 * Echo: *embarrased/disgusted/angry look on her face* Grrrah! *kicks at Fou*
 * [When Echo opens her eyes, she sees Fou standing on her leg, clucking and pecking at her leg]
 * Echo: Grrrr! *swings at Fou, who jumps and avoids it, causing Echo to stumble*
 * Fou: *flutters to the ground, clucking and bawking*
 * Statyx: It's also his most famous comedy routine. Never fails to start a fight, never fails to get some laughs.
 * Echo: Well, I'm not laughing!!
 * Statyx: Because, you're the one he's tring to get mad.
 * Echo: *grabs Fou's tailfeathers in the middle of his taunts* I'm going to go easy on you because you're a kid and have no idea what you're doing. Keep provoking me and you'll wake up breathing through a tube.
 * Sharna:Who's the Brown Chick? Where'd Sonic Go? O Darn! SONIC! Stay away from that Drum Set!
 * Amy:*Jumps from behind Drum Set* I got You now!
 * Sharna:Stay away from meh BoyFriend*Ko's Amy*
 * Sonic:THAT was random.
 * Fou: Hey Echo.
 * Echo: Hm?
 * Fou: Koo-coo, koo-coo.
 * Statyx: *bursts into laughter*
 * Echo: Wait a minute...since when does Sonic have a girlfriend?
 * Sharna:Since last month. That's when Silver left. I've been dating him since. Why'd you ask?
 * Statyx: I can answer that. It's because she li-
 * Echo: *sends soundwave at Statyx*
 * Statyx: *uses thunder shield to block* As I was saying....*takes deep breath* ECHO LIKES SONIC!!
 * Echo: *shocked face, her background shatters*
 * Sharna:*Look totally furious at Echo* Three words: He, is, mine! Yo got that? U GAWT THAT?!?!?
 * Echo: *looks at Sharna, then at Statx for a long time, then runs out the door*
 * Amy: NO ONE'S GOING NEAR MY SONIC!!!!!!
 * Statyx: *facepalms* Oh great, here comes the guilt.
 * Sonic: Uhhhh, don't I get a say in this?
 * Amy & Sharna:  NO !!!!!!
 * Statyx: I wish I could enjoy this, but first I have to go find Echo *turns around and heads for door* which will be real hard with one foot in my mouth!
 * Fou: Can I come?
 * Statyx: Sorry Fou, not this time. I have to make up for this one, and if you came, well, you might not come back. *heads out door* I don't know if I'm even coming back this time.
 * Statyx: *runs along, spots Echo sitting on cliffside, hides behind tree* Okay, how do I do this without getting killed or having to fight Echo?
 * Echo: *doesn't turn around* I see you.
 * Statyx: *freezes up* Okay, she sounds calm *peeks around tree*
 * [Echo sends a soundwave that narrowly misses Statyx and destroys a nearby tree]
 * Statyx: Okay, so much for that! *runs up tree he was hiding behind as Echo destroys it with soundaves, backflipping upon reaching the top, lands on the ground* Geez Echo, I was-!
 * Echo: *tears welling*
 * Statyx: Oh just perfect! How can I even defend myself when my opponent is crying, and I caused it!?
 * Echo: Just--*throws soundwave* leave--*soundwave* me-- *soundwave* be!! *throwing multiple soundwaves*
 * Statyx: But--*dodges soundwave* it was--*dodges* a joke! *dodges soundwaves*
 * Echo: *crying* YOU THINK IT WAS FUNY TO HUMILIATE ME LIKE THAT!!!??? *sends out a massive soundave*
 * Statyx: *takes defensive stance* *takes soundwave head on, skids backwards*
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: You're right, it wasn't funny. It was nasty, uncalled for, and wrong.
 * Echo: *clenches teeth* THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT!!?? *sends another powerful blast*
 * Statyx: *takes soundwave directly, skids farther back**heavily breathing* I... don't... know!
 * Echo: Well, I'll beat some sense into you until you know!! *charges at him, headbutts him in the stomach*
 * Statyx: Urk! *grabs Echo's shoulders, hammer throws her away* Echo, I don't wanna fight you!
 * Echo: *still crying* Too bad!! Because I really wanna hurt you!!
 * Statyx: Don't you mean fight?
 * Echo: *sends out a super powerful soundwave, blasting Statyx backwards* No, hurt!! *homing attacks Statyx* I will never forgive you for what you have done, Statyx the Hedgehog!
 * Statyx: *dodges attack* And you have every right to wanna kill me!
 * Echo: Believe me, I want to!
 * Statyx: I just came here to try and apologize!
 * Echo: Too late!! *spindashes Statyx, misses* You humiliated me in front of everyone!! How can you fix that!?
 * Statyx: Hey, that gives me an idea! *Echo spindashes at Statyx, who catches her* Echo wait, I have an idea! I can fix this! *deflects her*
 * Echo: Yeah, like I'm gonna listen to you!! *sends several soundwaves*
 * Statyx: *uses Thunder Shield to block* Will you just listen!?
 * Echo: *charges at Statyx* NO!!! *charges a soundwave in her fist* You announced to the entire room of what was NONE of your business! You're no friend of mine!!
 * Statyx: Well, what about that power of yours!? *jumps to the side*
 * Echo: What do you mean?
 * Statyx: Those blue soundwaves that you used to oh I don't know, try and wipe my mind!!
 * Echo: Is that what you think this is about? I'm well aware that I could erase everyone's mind of that memory, including yours! I couldn't care less that Sonic now knows my feelings. This has nothing to do with him!! *runs up to Statyx and punches him in the mouth*
 * Statyx: *on the ground, coughs up a little blood* Damn, I thought this was just about being embarrassed, but this is way worse. You actually trusted me, and I broke that trust.
 * Echo: W-what!? I never trusted you!
 * Statyx: *smirks* Yeah, that's why you're trying to kill me while crying.
 * Echo: *touches cheek, notices tears*
 * Statyx: I did the one thing I swore I'd never do to my friends. You trusted me, and I ruined that. *stands up straight* Okay, go ahead.
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: *thumbs to cheek* If all I've just said is true, then take your best shot. Hit me with your strongest punch. Then, if that's not enough, just keep going. I owe you that much.
 * Echo: ...okay, you're right. I did trust you. You were one of the few people I had ever trusted in a long time...but no matter how many times I may hit you, even if it comes down to killing you, that won't make me feel any better. Worse, actually. ...Why...why does history have to repeat itself for me...*turns her back to him* you can say you're 'sorry' as many times as you feel. Because even though I may forgive you, I can't trust you anymore... *runs off*
 * Statyx: Echo! *dashes after her*
 * Echo: Leave me alone!
 * Statyx: *Chaos Controls in front of her* Hold it!
 * Echo: No!! *turns around*
 * Statyx: *grabs her arm* You're gonna listen, wether you want to or not.
 * Echo: *tears welling, pulls at her arm, falls to her knees*
 * Statyx: Listen Echo, people make mistakes. It's just a natural part of life.
 * Echo: *pulls her arm out of Statyx's grip* You have no right to say that to me! You have no idea what my "mistakes" have cost me, and others! My "mistakes" have cost people their lives!
 * Statyx: *looks at his open hand* ..... *flashback. A red hedgehog is seen on the ground, walls and roofts crumbling, holding out his hand. "P-please, h-help me."* ....You aren't the only one...
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: You aren't the only one.... who's made mistakes.... who've cost people their lives.
 * Echo: ... ... ... ...j-just... *stands up* ...
 * [begins to rain]
 * Echo: ... *starts walking back to the direction of the cabin*
 * Statyx: ....Echo....
 * Sonic: *leaning on a tree next to the cabin* (I wonder if Echo's okay...*flashback* *Echo running after Sonic, Sonic running for his life* *shudders* Then again, maybe I should be worried about Statyx.
 * Echo: *head down, walking up to the cabin*
 * Sonic: Huh? Hey, Echo! *walks up to her* Are you okay? Where's Statyx?
 * Echo: *lifts her hand, places it on Sonic's forehead, lets out soundwave*
 * Sonic: *screaming* *on his knees, holding his head* Ugh, what'd you do that...for...ugh...*pass out*
 * Sharna: NOBODY HURT MY SONIC!!! *running towards Echo*
 * Echo: *steps to the side, blasts Sharna unconsious* Hmph. Two down. *walks into the cabin, looks around* Come on out, Phoenix. You want a fight? Get ready!
 * Fou: *comes out of kitchen* Hey Echo! Are we gonna start-*stares at Echo for a few seconds, walks up to her* Echo, wy are you sad?
 * Echo: W-what? I'm not sad!
 * Fou: Yes you are. I can see it.
 * Echo: Oh yeah, how?
 * Fou: *irises glowing slightly* I don't know, I just can. You're sad about something. What is it?
 * Echo: None of your business!
 * Fou: But Echo, I can't fight you when you're sad.
 * Echo: Really, why?
 * Fou: Because if I hurt you, then I'll just be adding to the hurt, and I don't like that.
 * Echo: Fine. Then I'll just skip to the end. *puts her hand on Fou's forehead* Hold still, and I'll try not to make it hurt.
 * Fou: Try and make what not hurt? What are you gonna do?
 * Echo: You don't want to know.
 * Fou: .....Okay!
 * Echo: W-what?
 * Fou: You're my friend, and I trust you. So, go ahead and do, whatever it is you want to do.
 * Echo: .....
 * Fou: Well Echo, go ahead!
 * Echo: *hand starts shaking*
 * Fou: Huh? You're hand's shaking.
 * Echo: *tears welling* .....Why?
 * Fou: Her, let me help! *leans foward, putting Echo's hand directly on his forehead*
 * Echo: Why? Why..... does he trust me so completely?
 * Fou: Well, weren't you gonna do something?
 * Echo: Why? Why does he trust me!?
 * They see something falling out of the sky*
 * ???AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I'M GONNA!!!!!!!!! KILL YOU SHADOOOOWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * I deleted the conversation so we could continue. Don't know what you're gonna do with the Kimberly bit though. Anyway, you're up to bat Shelly.
 * Echo: *hand continues to shake* (...I have to stop hesitating...but...I just don't understand...why he would just trust me like this...) ...(...no...)... *takes hand off Fou's forehead* *on her knees, sobbing*
 * Fou: *puts hand on Echo's shoulder*
 * Echo: *looks at Fou's hand, then Fou*
 * Fou: *tilts head* What's wrong Echo?
 * Echo: ...Fou... *wipes away her tears* ...I...I...I don't...know who to trust anymore...I thought I could trust Statyx, but...
 * Fou: Hey! Don't talk about Statyx like that!
 * Echo: *surprised* Huh?
 * Fou: Statyx has taken care of me for years! He's saved my life too many times to count! Sure, Statyx isn't perfect, and he can make mistakes, but if I had to put my life in anyone's hands, Statyx would be my first choice!
 * Echo: .......
 * Fou: And if not Statyx, you would be one of the first people I would choose.
 * Echo: ...
 * Fou: ...
 * Echo: *stands up* ... *walks out the door*
 * Fou: Echo, where are you going?
 * Echo: To clear my head. *passes by a *
 * Statyx: *leaning back on a tree, looking up*
 * Echo: *spots Statyx, stops*
 * Statyx: *notices Echo, looks at the ground*
 * Echo: .....Why are you out here?
 * Statyx: Huh?
 * Echo: *looks away* It's cold and raining. Shouldn't you be inside?
 * Statyx: *looks up* Nah, I actually like the rain.
 * Echo: Why?
 * Statyx: *holds up his open hand, looks at it. lets small sparks out* Eh, I just like the feel of it.
 * Echo: Huh?
 * Statyx: You see, with my powers, I can't go into bodies of water. The rain at least lets me feel what water is like.
 * Echo: ... *continues walking, passes by Statyx* ...
 * Statyx: Echo I.... I'm sorry alright? I know that it doesn't mean much, but I thought I should at least tell you.
 * Echo: *still walking* ...it's fine.
 * Statyx: It doesn't sound like it's alright.
 * Echo: It's a stupid rumor. It dosen't mean I'll never speak to you again.
 * Twister: Your tellin me, I got a bunch of rebuilt robots on my tail, SEE YA1 *zooms off as a horde of SWATbots chase Twister*
 * 6k.
 * Statyx: That's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about, is if you'll ever trust me again.

sry kag my hi-bye moment occured
 * Echo: Like I said, it's fine...
 * Statyx: Hmph. Even when she forgives me, it still feels like she hates me. *walks toward Echo* Well Echo, if you've forgiven me, what brought about the sudden change in attitude?
 * Echo: Just the fact that no one will remember any of this.
 * Statyx: And why, or how, is that?
 * Echo: *emits soundwaves from her hands to show him what she did*
 * Statyx: I see. Well, I assume that you especially made sure to take care of Sonic and Sharna, but what about Fou?
 * Echo: *stops, makes fist* Err...he put up too good a fight.
 * Statyx: *smirks* He got to ya, didn't he?
 * Echo: Err, what, makes you say that?
 * Statyx: Several things. For one, while Fou is powerful, I don't think he'd beat you. Even then, if the fight had gotten serious, that cabin over there wouldn't be standing. What's more, if Fou felt like he wouldn't be able to win the fight, he would've flown right to me. Also, I deffinately know how Fou fights, so if he had been too much for you, it would deffinately. Oh and finally, if there's one thing I know about you, it's that you would never admit that someone put up too much of a fight for you.

I can't believe you misspelled "cabin" -.-|
 * Echo: WHADDYA WANT FROM ME?!

Sue me for making a mistake.
 * Statyx: Whoa! What has you so riled up?
 * Echo: *panting, calms down, walks away*
 * Statyx: Alright, that's it! *runs in front of Echo* You've been all over the emotional map today, so what gives?
 * Echo: Read my lips. It. Is. Fine. Now quit following me all day like you're lost.
 * Statyx: No, it's not. If you've got something to say, say it.
 * Echo: I don't have anything to say.
 * Statyx: Echo, you've been off the wall today! You keep this bottled up, it will drive you insane!
 * Echo: It's fi--*Statyx covers Echo's mouth* Mmm! Hmm?!
 * Stayx: ....You know what Echo, I just don't get you. There are people who've suffered just as much as you, who've seen just as much horrible sights as you, and they don't have the luxury of being able to talk to someone. But people want nothing more than to help you with your hurt, and you push them away. Why?
 * Echo: ... ... ... ...because the last time someone ever said they wanted to "help" me, they wound up doing the opposite of just that.
 * Statyx: Yeah, well that doesn't mean that everyone you meet is gonna betray you.
 * Echo: *sigh* I knew you wouldn't understand...you're just like everyone else. You just love to exploit other peoples weaknesses, don't you.
 * Statyx: What? Echo, that's not true!
 * Echo: I don't want to hear any more of your lies, Statyx the Hedgehog. *walks past him, nudges him*
 * Statyx: .....*whips around and grabs Echo's arm* You know what, I've had enough of you Echo!
 * Echo: Let me go!
 * Statyx: You think you're the only one who's had their fair share of trouble? You think you're the only one who's seen the worst the world has to offer? Well news flash, you're not!
 * Echo: Oh yeah? Then who else!?
 * Statyx: Me!
 * Echo: What?
 * Statyx: *lets go of Echo's arm* I have seen men, women, and children die right in front of me, and not be able to do a thing about it. I've seen great people reduced to nothing by their own ambitions. I've had to fight for my life more times than I can count! I've even killed people who did the right thing rather than follow orders! But unlike you, I don't have anyone to open up to.
 * Echo: *confused look* What?
 * Statyx: *turns around* I always have to be strong. Fou, Blaze, Shadow, Silver; I have to be strong for so many people, for so many reasons. I can't afford to show any signs of weakness. I can't spill my heart out to anyone, I can't relieve this burden... *clenches fist* grrraaaggghhh!!! *slams tree with fist, blasting a hole through it*
 * Echo: *steps back* ......
 * Statyx: *looks at Echo* That's why I don't get you. People are willing to let you show weakness, they're willing to share your burden with you, and you just push them away. But you know what?
 * Echo: W-what?
 * Statyx: I'd give anything for a chance to let my guard down. To be able to show my weakness, and not have it used against me. To be seen as a person, with my own troubles, and my own scars... *looks down at the ground* ...and not as a weapon. Not as a warrior, not as.... *looks up at the still raining sky* "The Ultimate Guardian".
 * Echo: ... ... ...
 * Statyx: ... ... ...
 * Echo: ...*clenches fist*
 * Fou: *flies over* Guys, what's going on out here?!
 * Echo: ...
 * Statyx: ...
 * Fou: *notices blasted tree* Whoa! Hey, are you guys gonna fight?
 * Both: *keeping quiet*
 * Fou: Uhhhh, guys?
 * Statyx: *lets out deep breath* Go home Fou

Fou: But-!
 * Statyx: *serious tone* Fou, go home.
 * Fou: *looks at Statyx and Echo* .....okay. *flies off*
 * Echo: *flashback* Sure, Statyx isn't perfect, and he can make mistakes, but if I had to put my life in anyone's hands, Statyx would be my first choice. *flashback ends* Could that be what he means, about always having to be strong for others?
 * Echo: ...I.. can't have anyone close to me...not like you, Statyx...you have friends that will be at your side for eternity. For my own reasons, I can't. No matter what happens, if I bring anyone close, anyone at all...*teardrop* ...then...
 * ???: *looking at Echo and Statyx from a tree* Oh, these two look so...sad....should I try to help, or should I just stay away...so many questions

(yeah, do you guys mind if i join in?) Eh, go nuts.
 * Statyx: Then what?
 * Echo: *starts crying*
 * Statyx: *sighs, turns around* You have to have more faith in people Echo. True friends will stand by you, no matter what. No matter what your mistakes you've made, no matter what scars you have, friends will stand by you. Sure, they'll make mistakes, but when the chips are down, they'll come through. Friends allow you to live, to laugh, to love. But most of all *puts hand on Echo's shoulder* they remind you that you're a person, and that you don't have to be alone in this world. Believe me Echo, I've lived this, and learned it.

Eh, her character, her character page, her choice.


 * ???:Maybe I'll just act normal, so they dont know that i'm going to help them *jumps down from tree quietly, walks behind it, and walks casually towards Echo and Statyx* Um...excuse me...Sir and Ma'am...can you help me? i'm lost and i really need to get home.


 * Echo: Can't help 'ya there, sister.


 * ???:Oh, well I guess i'm stuck here, do you mind if i tag along? i swear i wont interfere too much


 * Statyx: Sorry miss, but this is a rather personal discussion.
 * ???: Ohh, couples trouble?
 * [Echo and Statyx stare at her for a while, then look at Statyx's hand on Echo's shoulder. Both of them jump away frantically]
 * Statyx: Whoa whoa lady, I'm called for!
 * ???: And what about you miss?
 * Echo: *blushing, gaze darting about* I uh, well...
 * Statyx: There's someone she's interested in.
 * Echo: Looks at Statyx, eyes wide*
 * Statyx: *smirks slightly* But, that's her business.
 * Echo: *lets out a deep sigh of relief*
 * Remember? That's what started this whole thing! ^_^
 * Kalone: Oh, well haha, dont worry! I'm not going to force you to tell me anything about you! It's nice ta meet ya, I'm Kalone!
 * Echo: *sniffs the air* Good, you could use some.
 * Statyx: This coming from the girl who lives in some tree most of the time.

''er, thats not how her name is pronounced. it sounds like Kal-on-ee, short a, short o, and long e''

Kalone:great, another one who pronounces my name wrong Er, anyway, so, what has been bothering you, well, like i said you don't have to tell me. I'm just curious
 * Sharna:*groan* I am awake. I am at full power. I am peeved off.
 * Echo: And I am leaving. *turns around, puts hands in pockets, walks off casually*
 * Statyx: But Echo...graagghh. *facepalms* Damnit! So close! I was so close to getting through to her!.
 * Echo: *walking, stops at Sonic, still lay on the floor*
 * Sonic: *coming consious* Ugh, what happened...?
 * Echo: Have a nice nap, Molasses?
 * Sonic: Echo? Boy, do you look happy.
 * Echo: *helps him up* Do you know how you look?
 * Sonic: What?
 * Echo: *zoom* Slow!
 * Sonic: Why you..! *races after her*
 * Statyx: *watches Sonic and Echo run off* I just hope you take my words to heart Echo. I really do.
 * Sharna:Why'd Kimberly pull me away????
 * Kimberly:For the love of mobian kind,I did it to annoy you.

&lt;/nowiki&gt;
