It's the nice thing to do. :) The characters of Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Dr. Eggman, Knuckles, Rouge, and Amy, belong to SEGA. Well, these versions, anyway.

Author's Note: This is my first MiST containing such a note, but this is part of a larger continuity involving Nyperold, Sue, the bots, and others. Here is the continuity so far:

  1. Metamorphosis
  2. Descent
  3. Trapped
  4. Sonic Adventure 2 Soundtrack lyrics
  5. Lost


(Nyperold is showing the various characters the game and explaining it.)

Sonic: So, you've beaten the game on both sides and the Last Story. What's there left to do?
Nyperold: Well, there are these missions to go on. Mission 1 is whatever the goal for the level happens to be. Mission 2 is "Find 100 rings". Mission 3 is usually "Find the lost chao", although, for the two Route levels, it's "Don't hit any cars". Mission 4 is usually "Complete the level in a certain time limit", or in a reduced amount of time in Security Hall, but for the two Route levels, it's "Don't hit any walls". Mission 5 is Hard mode.
Sonic: And why do you want to put yourself through that?
Nyperold: See, there are some things that can be unlocked by completing other things, especially if completed with all A emblems.
Sonic: Ohhh...
(Everyone is silent for a while, watching. Then Sonic speaks...)
Sonic: Earlier, you mentioned other universes. What were you talking about?
Nyperold: Oh, there are many, although most are unofficial. The official universes are SegaSonic, which is, basically, the games--
Sonic: In other words, me.
Nyperold: Right, basically. There's SatAM, that is, the Saturday morning Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon; SU, or Sonic Underground; the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic; Fleetway also did one; AOSTH, or The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog; NAOSTH, or The new Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and maybe more. Then there's the unoffical, or fan universes, which sometimes combine elements from two or more, or add new elements, usually fanmade characters.
Knuckles: Like this "Eliza" you mentioned earlier.
Nyperold: Yep. Often, but not always, fanchars are related to or a girlfriend or boyfriend of a main or supporting character.
Tails: Can we see these other universes?
Nyperold: Well... I won't be able to provide you with that capability, but I can show you what some authors have written about them.
Shadow: Sounds fascinating. Let's do it!

(They all exit the rec room, including Sue, and sit down in the previous configuration (A/N: See the MiST of the Sonic Adventure 2 soundtrack.), but with Sue sitting in Nyperold's lap.)

Nyperold: (as Hank Williams Jr.) Are you ready for some MiSTing?
All: Yeah!

(Suddenly, a message appears on the screen.)

Computer: DIFFERENT ENCODING DETECTED. WILL AUTO-CORRECT.

(All shrug)

DISCLAIMER: We all know it... Espio,

Nyperold: As in Espio-nage. He's a chameleon, so he blends in well.

Vector, Mighty,

Sue: Robots, Mighty Vehicles, Go-Bots!
Nyperold: When did you see-- oh, right, I showed you yesterdayland.com the other day.

Charmy,

Amy: Tails, that's CHARMS.

LOST

By Kayleigh "Kiwi" Walpole

Knuckles: Remind me never to let her watch the Master Emerald.

The city of Minworth, on the Floating Island, was a large and fairly dangerous place to live.

Eggman: Thieves stole, assassins assassinated, and hustlers hustled. (gets looks) What? Even one such as I was had to take a break from plotting world domination to read...
Sonic: Heh. Well, Perfect Chaos is something like a dragon... only... water...

Nearly everyone knew that. Still, many people lived there, possibly because of the wide range of universities

Eggman: Seen and unseen alike.

and colleges. Mina and her husband, Ken, lived in the north of the city, where attacks were less frequent. They had two children, Espio and Emily. They were non-identical twins, and they were as different as anyone could imagine.

Espio was argumentative and boisterous, and often ended up hurting himself in one way or another. This had resulted in Mina forcing him to wear

Rouge: Pillows all over, with flashing lights strapped to him.

kneepads every time he went out. His sister, Emily, was quiet and fairly intelligent for her four years, and loved cute and cuddly things, particularly her "Booie".

Tiff: But how is a floating marker cuddly?
Nyperold: Not a buoy...

It had once been a cuddly toy rabbit, but its

Shadow: ...molecular composition had changed to that of a chocolate cake.
All except the bots: Mmmm... chocolate...
Tiff: I don't see why they get so blissed out over that stuff...

ears and arms fell off, so it ended being a weird triangular looking thing.

Also there was their guardian. Unknown to the family, Kiibi was prepared to

Eggman: ...perfection and served as the main course at... (gets more looks) ...what?

protect them with his life. A life that wouldn't exist now if Mina hadn't saved him five years before.

***

All: (singing) The second star to the right, shines with a light for you...

"Espio, watcha doin'?" Emily asked, hugging the Booie as tightly as she could.

"I'm goin' out," was her brother's calm response.

"Where are your kneepads?"

Sue: (as Emily) And your pillows and flashing lights?

Emily wanted to know.

"Hid 'em from Mum,"

Tails: The salvias promised not to tell.
Nyperold: "Mum" is how they say "mom" in England, Tails. That's where Kiwi the author lives.
Sonic: So we should expect more of these?
Nyperold: I wouldn't be too surprised.

Espio replied. "They hurt more than any time I falleded over before."

"It's 'fell,' Espio," Emily corrected. "Mum won't be happy when she finds out."

"It's 'if', Emily,"

Sonic: (singing) Hold--
Amy: Sonic... it's too soon after it appeared in the last MiST.
Sonic: Aw nuts.

Espio said, imitating his sister.

"I'm gonna tell."

"You do and your Booie's goin' down the toilet," Espio threatened. He grabbed the Booie and somehow managed to pull it out of Emily's grip. "Got it?"

"MUUUUM!!" Emily screamed at the top of her voice. "MUM! ESPIO'S GOING OUT WITHOUT HIS KNEEPADS AND HE'S GONNA THROW MY BOOIE DOWN THE TOILET!!"

(All except the bots cover their ears while she yells. She finishes, and they bring their hands down.)
Box: OWW. Nyperold, I have feedback from that.
Tiff: Me, too.
Nyperold: Oh, okay... Eggman, a little help?
Eggman: You got it!
(They reinitialize the sound system, and eliminate the feedback)
Box and Tiff: Ahhhh.
Box: Much better.
Tiff: Yeah, thanks.
Nyperold: Good work. Now, let's get back to the story.

"Hey!" Espio complained. "If you're gonna yell, do it a little more

Tails: (as Espio) ...like Tarzan!

quietly, will you?"

"Espio, what are you doing?" Ken asked, entering the hallway.

"I'm not doin' nothing,"

Knuckles: So he's doing something. At least he's honest.

Espio replied. "Emily just started screaming, that's all. I dunno why, but it ain't my fault."

"Try giving her back her Booie," Ken suggested, noticing that Espio was holding the ragged toy behind his back. "Like, now, perhaps."

"Okay," Espio grumbled, handing the Booie back to Emily.

"And what's this I hear about you going out without your kneepads?"

Shadow: (as Ken) Or your pillows or your flashing lights?
Nyperold: (chuckling) See what you started, Rouge?

Ken inquired. "I don't seem to recall you asking to go out at all..."

"Well, no..." Espio mumbled, staring at the floor.

"And as for your kneepads, all I can say is good for you! Your mother is way too protective, you don't need them."

"But Mum said..." Emily began.

"I say you listen to your mum too much," Ken commented.

Nyperold: So where's the C, REM, {*...*}, /*, or //?
Box: I don't think it's that kind of comment.

"I'm gonna tell Mum you're bein' a bad infulience," Emily said, pouting.

Sue: (grinning) It's "influence", Emily.

She went into the living room.

"Espio, don't you think it strange how all sisters are annoying?

Nyperold: AHEM. You wanna rephrase that, Ken? Or would you like to be a good candidate for falsies?

They always spoil the fun..." Ken said to his son.

"You have a sister...?" Espio inquired.

"No, but my best friend did," was Ken's reply. "If I had a sister, you'd

Sonic: Die of excessive annoyance?
Nyperold: If you think that, Sonic, be glad you're not the Sonic Underground version. He has a sister and a brother. Well, at least one. As far as I know, the only other sisters you have are fanmade.

have an aunty. Now come on, it's time for tea. You can go out after. No need to tell Mum about your kneepads. You have special permission from me."

***

Nyperold: Those gold candles fix'd in heaven's air.

That night, long after Espio had returned and the twins had gone to bed, Kiibi was sat outside; he never entered the house. He was on the wall in front of the large terraced house, calmly swinging his legs and watching for anyone who could threaten the family inside.

Shadow: He was desperate, and good help was hard to come by.

His eyes narrowed as he

Tails: ...turned the handle on the vice.
All except Tails: EWWWW!
Nyperold: That's enough of that aqueous humor.
All except Nyperold: (groan)

noticed someone coming nearer to the building, but relaxed as the figure

Nyperold: ...muttered something about being offended and passed by.

entered another house in a seemingly legal manner - with a key.

Kiibi was a chaos spirit, more commonly known as a demon. He was now a thousand nine-hundred and ninety-nine years old. The reason he had lived for so long and appeared to still be quite young was the amount of different types of chaos energies he had in his body. Because a fair amount of demons had been possessed by a destructive form of chaos, all demons were believed to be evil, and this had a tendency to cause problems, particularly on the Floating Island, because the guardian could easily detect a chaos based life form. Kiibi was afraid that pretty soon the current guardian, Locke, would find

Amy: ...his treasure and "hunt" it from him.
Nyperold: I'm pretty sure that this isn't that Locke...

him.

"Speak of tha devil," he said, noticing an echidna coming towards him. "Ah hope that isn't tha guardien... if it is then ah'm in big trouble..." He vanished and reappeared floating above the echidna. "Aw,

Box: Guardien?
(Nyperold instinctively covers Sue's eyes.)

shit, it is!" he complained. Locke whirled around and gazed at the chameleonic chaos spirit floating a few inches above him.

"Well, you certainly haven't made it hard for me to find you," Locke noted.

Shadow: He should've taken a course on How Not To Be Seen.

"I knew there was a demon around here somewhere."

"Ah prefer the term chaos spirit if yeh don't mahnd," Kiibi grumbled, landing on the ground next to the echidna.

Eggman: (as Locke as Old Man) Ha! Semantic nonsense!
Sonic: (as Kiibi as, well, Locke) Thar's a BIG difference! (wags his finger)

"Whut are yeh doin' heah, anyway? Don't yeh got a son to be takin' care of?"

"I believe my wife is taking perfect care of that," Locke responded, coldly. "It's her job, after all."

"Keep that attitude up an' she won't be yer wife much longer," Kiibi stated. "Prejudice won't get you anywhere wi' people, y'know. So piss off

Nyperold: Aw man! How much longer is the story gonna make me cover her eyes?

and leave meh alone. This happens to be mah home, in case yeh hadn't noticed."

"I can't allow such a dangerous creature live around innocent people," Locke growled.

Rouge: If that "live" rhymes with "give", you'll want the word "to" just before it.

"CREATURE?" Kiibi cried. "Now that's goin' a bit too far. I ain't no 'creature,' and ah happen to have feelings, believe it or not. If yer gonna call meh anything, the name's Kiibi, so use it."

"Creature," Locke repeated.

Nyperold: Anyone else reminded of Michael Avariss's insistence on calling the furries "beasts"?
(All except Nyperold, Sue, and the bots shrug.)
Tiff: I don't think they've read the Gene Catlow online comic, Nyper.

"Such a being that has no reason to exist. One that thrives on chaos."

"If yeh mean chaos as in energy, then that's true. But if yeh mean chaos as in bein' destructive and stuff yeh couldn't be further from tha little thing we call

Knuckles: Locke's brain. Oops. Sorry, dad!
Eggman: ...Dad?
Knuckles: Guardianship is passed down through descendants. Espio's a child here, and he's one of the Chaotix, now, so it's probably a safe assumption that Locke is... (winces) my dad.

'truth'." Locke simply shrugged.

"That's not what I have learnt." He swung his fist at Kiibi, catching him

Tails: ... in a Safari Ball!

off guard and sending the chaos spirit flying into the wall.

"Owww..." Kiibi moaned. "That was uncalled for, echidna!"

"Just a warning," Locke hissed. "Either leave the island or die. Understood?" He went to throw another punch at the demon, but this time Kiibi was ready. He teleported just as Locke swung, causing the guardian to slam his bladed fist into the door.

"Be quiet or yeh'll wake everyone up!"

"Well if I do I'll know whose fault it is," Locke cried, trying to hit Kiibi again. Once more, he teleported just in time, and as he reappeared just behind the guardian, something that looked like a bladed staff made

Amy: ...of cheese!
Nyperold: Finally, I can uncover. (does so)

out of fire appeared in his hand.

"Well, ah didn't realleh wanna do this, but if ah have to defend mahself ah will!"

END OF PART 1

Nyperold: Just in time for the end of the part, thank you very much.

Did this look familiar to anyone? Yes, it's a rewrite of the first half of Guardian Demon. But it's not only gonna be that. It's also stuff like how Espio joined the Chaotix Crew, and... stuff. *shrugs* Oh well. R&R Please!

Socks:

Nyperold: Whoa! How'd they get Bill's cat to comment on this?

Woah... this made way way way more sense than the original...

Kiwi: I know! That's why I wrote it! My writing skills have improved over the last year, what do you expect?

Socks: Um...

Eggman: ...shoes?

Kiwi: And while you're at it, make a note of my birthday, on April 18. I want you to give me a great big Espio poster!

Socks: One problem... they don't sell Espio merchandise.

Kiwi: Well they SHOULD! *sits down and sulks*

Socks: Don't get all moody on me! 'Sides, you only like him cuz

(Nyperold instinctively covers her eyes again.)

he's nekkid.

Kiwi: He's a mobian!

Socks: *singing* Kiwi likes chameleon porn, Kiwi likes chameleon porn...

Kiwi: ...Um...yeah... believe that all you want, while I just back away veeeeery slowly...

Nyperold: Well... that was odd... Okay, since the author considered this a good place to stop, let's take a break ourselves, shall we?
(All concur. Nyperold adds blank lines to scroll the previous part off the screen, and all riffers leave for the rec room.)

(An hour or so later...)

Nyperold: There's something up here. I'm gonna go check it out. (He does, and returns.) Huh! Apparently, that's all there was.
Rouge: So what do we do now?
Nyperold: I'm getting another one. I'll be back when it's ready. In the meantime, enjoy yourselves!

The End... for now...

Next: Molten by Adrani

"I knew there was a demon around here somewhere."
