Chapter 2: Na-na Na-na Na-na Na, I'm Gonna Start A Fight

Here we go again! Same intro, different chapter.

So, our story continues at the house of Sonic the-oh God, no, please! Actually, thankfully, we are saved from watching Sonic and Shadow getting it on - we do get this charming line from the Blue Blur, however.

-So I fuck your brains out giving you the best night of your life and you still call me faker? Sonic said.- (NOTE: Using lines for quote marks so you don't get confused and think our author is actually using them himself.)

Good lord, Sonic! I did not need that imagery! Furthermore, backing up a little, we get Shadow smiling lovingly at Sonic! This should not happen! Especially not in this context! I'm a Sonic fan, by the way. Oh, and then Sonic calls Shadow the woman of their relationship, if this was Canon!Shadow, Sonic would be some black mark on the floor by now. Instead, they play-fight and laugh.

Oh, God!

We return to Blaze and Amy's apartment - on that note, isn't Blaze either a princess from an alternate dimension with its own set of emeralds,or a girl from the future who came to help Silver kill Sonic to save their timeline? Why would she live in an apartment here at any point? Oh, right! These characters are pretty much in-name-only! Sorry, moving on - we return to their apartment to see Fiona and Rouge, uhm, doing things to Conor...while he's asleep. Naturally, Conor freaks the hell out and throws ALL FOUR GIRLS. AT ONCE. Stu Points: 3. So, he's really fast, immortal AND he has super strength. He just needs a cape, x-ray vision, and various other BS abilities and he'll be the Sonicverse equivalent of Superman!

Also, Amy and Blaze beat up Fiona and Rouge, Conor retaliates by beating Amy and Blaze up and saying they (Fiona and Rouge, not Blaze and Amy) are his slaves, even though, as the girls point out, they aren't his until his job is done. Also, guess how our beloved author writes dialouge when no action happens in context to it? Script format:

-Amy and Blaze: There ours until the jobs done.-

This guy...is unfucking believable! In any case, Conor reveals a plan: use Amy and Blaze to attract Sonic and annoy the ever-loving crap out of Shadow which, as Blaze notes, is not a good idea. Conor's response to her hesitation is...just...read:

-Well you anyways he said with a laugh I'll stop him don't worry. Ok make a date ask them to go to a restaurant with you and I'll come to make sure it's fancy ok make it look like your gona seduce Sonic be flirty got it Conor asked.-

I...how...I can't even read that first part! What does that even mean? Has this guy never heard of revising your work? Good god!

Back to this...'story', apparently Conor's plan isn't to do with kidnapping Sonic, oh no, instead it's to view how they act. What? This is his job, right? To do things like this? You'd think he'd have mastered, you know, observing people on his own, without some risky plan that could endanger both himself and his clients! Or maybe I'm being too anal about this, I don't know.

Back at Sonic's house, Shadow is...cooking. Sonic totally gets his homosexual groove on, causing Shadow to blush. I don't think I need to remind anyone that this is so very, very not like the Ultimate Life-Form. Sonic is about to suggest a romantic dinner out for later, when Amy calls and asks if they want to join her and Blaze. How very conveinient, right? And the name of the restaurant in question?

Mario and Luigi's

Mario...and Luigi's...for the love...of... God. Is nothing sacred to you, man? Christ...well, maybe it isn't what I think, maybe it will just be a random reference and the Mario Brothers will be left out of this. One can only hope and pray...

So, after that, we see Conor in a bar. And the Supression Squad from the Archie Comics, minus Scrouge. It goes from Evil!Tails (Miles) offering Conor drugs to a somewhat incoherent series of actions:

-Who are you! Alicia said in a scream.

Names Conor the Hedgehog remember me now he said.

Wait you're... Alicia said stuttering.

Yeah that's me still wanna fight? Conor asked.

But the explosion and Metal Son... Alicia began

Conor grabbed her by the throat.

You know too much to live he said venom in his voice.

Alicia grabbed her flick knife and stabbed him Conor looked down to see the knife lodged in his chest.

Conor calmly said you bitch now I'm gona get blood on this suit.

Conor grabbed Alicia's arm still holding the knife and made her push deeper into his chest until the knife went out the other side and so did her hand. Boomer vomited as Miles looked away in disgust.

Alicia trembled as Conor fell back her arm still in his stomach landed on top of him she lay there for a minute and then found the courage and strength to pull her arm out.

Conor lay there for a minute and then he moved his organs healed themselves and then he sat up and stood up.-

That was over quickly, but I think my brain...and my soul...died a little. He then goes towards Alicia with her knife, kisses her hand, and gives her back the knife. I'd almost say WhatAnIdiot but...Alicia just stares and does nothing. In any case, Conor leaves the bar.

Our chapter ends with Conor, Amy and Blaze heading out to the restaurant, although Conor tells Rouge and Fiona to stay awake, as he wants to talk to them after the night is through.

And our author leaves us a footnote again:

-So the trap is set. Conor seems to have a detailed past. Alicia seems to know a lot about him but will she tell anyone even a blue or black hero.-

Does he have a detailed past? Did I miss a paragraph explaining it? All I got was Alicia blubbering something about Metal Sonic. Also, Alicia seems to know him, yes, but she doesn't know he is after Sonic and Shadow so why would she tell them? And if they did know, wouldn't the Supression Squad want the two dead so they can try and take over Mobius? Hell, I don't know or care, join me next time for more of LOVE, BULLETS AND IMMORTALITY. You are already condemned for reading this, after all, so why not?

So, thus far, we have a blonde hedgehog with the same name as the author who basically can't die, acts like an asshole, and whose long-term plans include kidnapping the hero of a long-running franchise and being rewarded with two personal slaves....

So... someone remind me why we're supposed to sympathize with this guy again?

Anyway, yeah, the challenge with fics like this is that everyone's so ridiculously out of character that it doesn't really feel like a fanfic at all, which wouldn't be a problem if... you know, it was actually good.

Yes, well, this is what happens. By 'fics like this', I assume you mean fanfiction that takes place in a setting that is very different in tone compared to the source material? Yeah, it is very hard to have characters react normally in a completely different style or setting.

Oh, the kicker of this story? It has 66 reviews on fanfiction.net. Most of the ones I read were positive. Positive!

Well, the setting difference isn't much of a problem, really, Alternate Universe things can still work, but I'll preemptively identify this as a "wish fullfillment canonrape" fic, where everything in the setting is warped to make the life of the main character, stand-in for the author that he/she is, as awesome as humanly possible. My own little fanfic liveblogging project, "Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami" has the very same problem.

Also, on topic of the reviews, it's an unfortunate side-effect of Mary Sue/Marty Stu-laden works, since they revolve around a character that, in addition to being generically tormented and awesome and liked by everyone, is so mindcrushingly bland that pretty much anyone can identify with him or her, something that gives the fic an illusion of being a good story while it, by all even halfway objective standards, is not.

That's a lot of words for a comment, but oh well.
