POW.
Shadow winced from where he lay on the ground, still collecting the strength to put his feet under him. Sonic took the full brunt of Knuckles' fist to the face and careened through the air; the hedgehog smashed into–rather, through–a pillar before lodging in a wall.
And that, more than anything, spoke to the depths of the illness gripping the echidna; he wasn't taking any care whatsoever to avoid damaging the island and its ruins.
Shadow swore under his breath; even in his nonverbal, berserk state, Knuckles still retained the presence of mind to track Shadow's chaos energy signature, making surprise attacks virtually impossible.
"Heh. . ."
Shadow briefly took his eyes off Knuckles to glance over his shoulder. Unfazed–or at least undaunted, since he was sporting a new streak of crimson in his quills, courtesy of a bleeding head wound–Sonic leapt out of the wall. Though interspersed with the odd cough, he nonetheless laughed.
"Damn, Red!" He said. "I didn't think even you could hit that hard!"
Knuckles, as ever, didn't give any verbal response. The echidna groaned, swaying on his feet a moment before whipping his head from side to side, growling. A few of the verdant crystalline shards spreading over his body fell from his dreads.
Shadow watched Sonic's usual, confident smile slide away in real time; his eyes turned sad.
"Aw, buddy," he sighed. "You're really sick, aren't'cha?"
"Did you think I was exaggerating?" Shadow asked dryly.
Sonic shook his head, holding out a hand toward Shadow. Knuckles strafed slowly round them from a distance, shoulders and fists subtly moving all the time.
"Pass me one of your rings," Sonic said. "We'll go with your plan."
Shadow took the inhibitor ring off his right wrist and passed it over. He didn't know exactly how it would interact with Knuckles compared to his manufactured body, but it might at least suppress some of the excess energy he was bleeding off and calm him down.
They–and the island–couldn't handle a rampaging guardian indefinitely.
Sonic gripped the ring, his other hand bracing against the ground as he dropped his head and canted his weight forward; his legs flew into motion behind him like a revving engine, the pitch of the sound reaching higher and higher.
"I'll put him to sleep," he said. "You just make sure he wakes up later."
Shadow nodded, pushing onto his feet and steeling himself. He'd have to split his focus between accounting for the control of his chaos energy normally handled by the inhibitor ring and trying to somewhat keep pace. He wasn't sure how much help he'd be until Sonic secured the ring on Knuckles; he was still loathe to admit it aloud even after so many years, but he'd accepted that he couldn't move as fast as Sonic.
"Sorry, Knux." Sonic whispered.
Fft.
Sonic's knee slammed into Knuckles' jaw; the island guardian staggered in slow-motion.
Crack.
The thunderclap didn't come until a full second later.
The aftershock nearly took Shadow off his feet.
BOOM.

there's something so poetic about kipperlilly copperkettle—who hated one of her classmates for daring to be better than her and having a dead dad, who refused to improve herself and instead chose to be bitter and entitled, who was so obsessed with being Special and Important like she felt she deserved that she willingly worked with a rage god, betrayed her party, and killed her friend—getting killed by fucking. Hold Person. her fancy optimal build IMMEDIATELY folding in the face of riz's cleverness and experience and applied knowledge. she spends years fixated solely on racking up EXP and getting the Best Abilities, and then when she dies, she's killed not in glorious combat but by a clever, practical application of a 2nd level spell that she NEVER would have ever thought of using because she has no creativity or adventurers' spirit, cast by the same classmate she always hated with a watch his dead dad gave him.

This is death itself. This is the biggest and baddest thing in all of fairy tale, and you want to set it free.

imagine ur garthy o’brien, just trying to fuck this hot ranger you met at your brothel that you own, except her teenage kids/wards/bosses keep knocking on the door to your bedroom and interrupting you guys and THEN you learn that she’s actually in a committed relationship but didn’t tell you, so THAT sucks but THEN one of the teens comes and finds you in the middle of the night yelling about how his friend is gone and they can’t find him and he might be in danger, so you help him teleport to his friend, and then when they all get back, looking extremely upset and dejected, you apologize to the ranger’s daughter for making her feel uncomfortable by fucking her mother and in the process SHE reveals to you that her mom’s boyfriend is actually this really cool werewolf guy that you KNOW and have fucked on multiple occasions

When Schrodinger was talking about the cat in box that's both alive and dead, he was talking about Kalina. She's a goddess's familiar, she's a plague, she worked for Fantasy MI6, she died, she came back, she got rage stared, she snapped her own neck, she came back as the companion for a god borne from a Fantasy Mormon child's misplaced belief. She's alive and dead, good and evil. She worked tirelessly for 800 years towards one goal and then fucking abandoned it (maybe.) Her goddess thinks she can fix her. Her goddess's wife always hated her. She is everyone's problem at all times and holy shit is she a Problem. What a fucking legend.

brennan reintroducing the bad kids with genuine titles they hold in canon like “archdevil” “captain of the owlbears” & “risen saint” but adding “holder of the tin flower” to gorgug’s intro because of how gorgug offering his tin flower to fabian, even after they fought, so effectively represents the type of person gorgug is (a kind one).
