[BBS] dead people aren't dead yet.

[espio]

Given that Time Compression is how it is, I have a question for you. When someone's supposed to be dead, and you already tried to fix it and it didn't work, what do you actually do with them? Do you tell them, or just settle for your relationship (whatever it is) being awkward as hell for as long as they stay here?

And don't give me "just be happy they're alive." That doesn't work. They're still gonna go back eventually, and they're still gonna die.

No.

And honestly, I don't think it'd've worked out as bad if he was involved. He wants to rule the universe, not destroy it. [BACKSPACE why did he even type that?!]

[cigardog]

What?! How does that make any sense? He makes everything worse!

[You might need to type that again anyway Espio, because Furor thinks you've lost it.]

[espio]

Sidewinder's interested in power - he wants to rule the universe. But his sanity is obviously going downhill, along with his competency as a villain. He's going to get himself killed, not that it'd be much of a loss. Even Lightmare came to us for help so that he wouldn't kill himself going after Super Sonic.

So, take someone much younger, comparitively saner, who already has power, and is more interested in destruction than ruling anything. They're easily the bigger threat, the state Sidewinder's in now.

[cigardog]

And just what does someone with that much power decide to "sanely" do with it?

[espio]

Blow stuff up. Competently. And without annoucing their intentions to everyone within range. Kind of like what Sidewinder used to do before he went completely off the deep end, but on a larger scale because this guy didn't want any people left around.

[He's having a hard time explaining this without outright saying "he made the universe implode, and everyone in the Special Zone is dead."]

[cigardog]

Anyone?

Just to prove he could?

What did he blow up?

[espio]

The whole Special Zone.

[TESTING YOUR REACTION. He can always say he was exaggerating if this goes super bad. Or something.]

[cigardog]

No, really.

[Sorry, he just thinks that's you know... impossible.]

[espio]

Really.

[cigardog]

That's impossible.

[espio]

There's no such thing.

[cigardog]

Are you really serious?

Who was this punk?

MONTH LATE TAG IS A MONTH LATE

[espio]

Well, okay. It wasn't the whole Special Zone, but a considerable chunk of it. A chunk of it I happened to be in at the time. I'm not actually sure how much of it was destroyed.

[...actually somewhat true, but Espio hasn't got a whole lot of hope there.]

His name's Shadow. He has some allies, the Syndicate, but I have no idea who they are.

He can control Chaos Energy. Turns out, the Special Zone is made of the stuff.

XDDD Well you know what they say better late than never

[cigardog]

And what, he just decided it was in the way?

<.<

[espio]

From what I gathered, he saw an opportunity and took it. Basically, he did it because he could - no other reason.

[cigardog]

I see.

[Except he doesn't.]

How many?

[espio]

How many what?

[cigardog]

People dead.
