Shadow: just what the hell was that?

Maria: Shadow! there's no need for that kind of language!

Shadow: I'm sorry Maria, but how long has it been since squirrel boy updated?

Me *teleports in* excuse me?

Shadow: it's about time. . .

Chapter 3: Mind over master

Sonic's POV

I sat up and stretched, looking at the pleasant brightness of the morning sun through the window. I looked over to where Squidkiller102's bed stood, close to the window, just like mine, with a bookshelf on top of the headboard and a lamp sitting next to it.

"Heh, fastest thing alive my foot!" I whirled around to see my friend smiling as much as his blocky form would allow.

"You didn't have to chaos control all the way here!" I snapped, morning wasn't a good time to make jokes at my expense.

"I know, sorry man, I've got breakfast ready as soon as you're ready."

"Well what are we standing around here for? Let's eat!" I said, rushing downstairs to the kitchen, and almost slamming into a chicken that was standing on one of the chairs. "What the heck are you doing here chicken?" this earned me a death glare from the little guy, his beady black eyes felt like they were penetrating my soul.

"Dave, lay off him, he just got here yesterday." Squid said as he dropped in from the ceiling. The chicken clucked a reply and walked off, I just stood there for a moment, not sure what to think.

"I swear that Chicken wants my soul!" I shuddered.

"Oh, don't worry about Dave, he's like that with everybody who comes from the outside," my friend's voice dropped to a whisper. "just between you and me, a group of raiders killed his kid last month, so don't be too hard on him." I just looked off in the direction Dave had gone, I wondered what other interesting characters I might meet while was here.

"Sir Squid! Come quickly, it's an emergency!" the quirky voice of a villager carried up from the front door. Squid got up and I followed suit, we had already finished our breakfast. The door opened and a Farmer dashed inside.

"Jeff, I swear to Notch if your pet spider got loose again. . ." he just let the sentence trail off.

"no no, this is something completely different! It was like a piece of the moon fell off and landed just outside the gates!" my ears perked up, why did that sound familiar? I dashed outside to the gates, and I saw what the farmer was talking about right away: a huge crater held a large chunk of white rock, I could feel energy radiating from inside.

"jeez, I hope that's not part of 1.8, zombies and creepers, I can deal with, but the minute the sky starts falling apart I'm out!" I just gave him a what the heck are you on about? Look and started to walk outside.

"Sonic, this sky fragment is radiating high levels of energy, I would not advise-" I just ignored the iron golem and headed straight for the thing. As soon as I got close though, the rock started to vibrate, I heard someone shout "it's gonna blow!" just before a burst of light blinded me for a full minute. When I could finally see again, a young girl was laying on the ground where the meteor had been before, I recognized her immediately, this was Shadow's little sister, Maria Robotnik.
