The following is a bit of a take on Video Game Confessions which belongs to the comedic genius of Doug Walker of Channel Awesome. Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super belong to Akira Toriyama, Toei Animation, Funimation, and Fuji TV. Sonic X and the Sonic OVA belongs to Sega (who's basically Nintendo's bottom). Black Lagoon to Hiroe Rei. And to make this more fun to you the reader, I suggest putting on the theme from Video Game Confessions (/watch?v=tCrrZ1NnCuM )

A/N: Before you raise up about this, I'm dealing with two anime adaptations of the Sonic games.

Anime Confessions – Two Forgotten Characters

You're introduced to a young Saya-jin/Endurion male of African/Asian (we apologize for not informing you that he was Blasian) descent about 6'0" with a fighter's frame. His hair spiked and black with eyes of light gray and electrical blue ends on his hair. He wears a typical outfit of a bartender for a fancy restaurant.

"This is Ryo Nazo Blackthorn, a Time Patroller and younger brother to Jōshō. Ryo works in the seven-star restaurant known as the Tori Dragon Palace (which is two blocks away from the Pixel Palace). There, some of anime's most popular celebrities pop in to have a drink. Sometimes, they share stories, and even secrets. Because—as we all know—what the bartender hears is confidential... isn't it?"

Episode 23 – Topaz

So here I was tending the bar and in walks in a character I could barely remember, Topaz. Now she comes in, I ask what she'll have to drink and she asked for a Bloody Mary. Topaz…looked as if she's seen better days. I ask if she's all right, and she glares at me.

"No, but what do you expect when you're a one-off character for a failing anime?" Topaz asked me.

I couldn't argue with that.

"It's just after Season 2, the show was doing poorly in it's home country. While it did better in America, the distaste for the show went through the roof." Topaz remarked. "But I assumed it was all fine."

I asked what happened despite knowing already.

"The show was canceled, and some of us were all fired. Well, most of them. For some reason, Chris Thorndick got to stay, and I would find out why. There was a Season 3 being produced, and he got to secure himself on. I got the boot first, and later on, the rest of us." Topaz said bitterly.

"But when about your job at G.U.N?" I asked her.

"Fired as soon as Season 3 was over. Some of us were promised an integration into the games, but that was a straight up lie. So, I lost my job with them, yet I'm bound by SEGA through contract. I can't go work for another company…" Topaz said about to drink her Bloody Mary. "I can't even afford this drink with the state of things!"

I asked her how she expected to pay for that drink, and she's all sheepish about it.

"Well…I give really good head." She said weakly.

Firstly, even if I wanted, I'd still have to pay for her drinks. Secondly, this isn't a habit I'd want Dawn to take up. Then again…I looked over to Dawn who's blushing a storm. At least that assure she's not to flake to that.

"As much I as would, I have a loving fiancée. Secondly, you'd have to deal with getting the manager off, and trust me…you'll be limping for weeks." I said discretely.

Let's just say the manager is an example of how bigger isn't always better, but I digress. I open a tab for her, and after I get a regular beer, she continues.

"After show went onto Season 3, most of us didn't really find much work. Lindsey had her movie deals, and she cameoed in most of the Sonic games. Her husband and her father-in-law now help work in SEGA. Chuck nearly got fired for being involved with Sonic O'Shit." Topaz said nursing her drink. "Stewart does security for the company, but not all of us ended up drafted into the company."

Ella's apparently dead…from a heart attack after eating at Taco Bell. I'm not surprised.

Tanaka? He got into a bar fight with Mercenary Tao. What do you expect, him to live from that?

"I still miss him dearly." Topaz said teary-eyed. "I loved him deeply, and he was…the light for me through my unemployment. I was planning to propose."

I asked about the other kids, and I'm told they're all Mii Fighters now for the Smash tournaments.

"I, on the other hands, wasn't minor enough that I could join them, but I wasn't important enough to keep with the company. I had drifted from job to job as a crappy security guard. I had to guard low level celebs, mobs, pimps, hookers, drug peddlars, and I even had to guard a freaking gloryhole." Topaz said recounting her downward spiral.

"What's a gloryhole?" Dawn asked innocently.

I don't answer as I want her to keep whatever innocence she's got left. So much so that when one drunkard shoots off his mouth to explain, I shoot him with an energy blast. But I digress on assault charges.

It's always disheartened to see a character become forgotten and fall into the gutter. She didn't deserve the hand she was dealt.

"I'm actually here because I'm about to go on an interview for a new job. Assistant bartender at some bar called the Yellow Flag." Topaz said wistfully.

Oh. That isn't going end well.

"Well, I wish you luck then." I said hiding my concerned.

She nods and she leaves. Come the next day, she's in the obituary. Death by a stray bullet. What a waste.

You see a lot of strange things as a bartender, see a lot strange things at the Tori Dragon. So, I see a lot of strange things as a bartender at the Tori Dragon, and that isn't no lie. Swear to it!

(A/N: Anyone remember her? No, the dub made a joke out of her. The original sub…woof, she and Rouge were a true comedic duo. It's saddening to think that the fates of the Sonic X were not so pretty. But what about Cosmo, you ask?)
