untitled poem #22

strangers

losing each other in the dark,

only the beating of my heart

knows how long we’ve been apart.

don’t know when it’s gonna end

by these messages you send

and i want to be your friend,

but i don’t think i know how to.

i don’t know where i stand with you.

thinking too much, what should i do?

and we can talk and be the same,

we can laugh and play your game.

an empty void replaced the pain

and something big has changed.

i remember everything you said

after you got inside my head

whether or not you meant.

this game is getting old.

my smile’s getting cold.

love is getting sold.

i can be in your life,

a story being told.

don’t disappear,

i want to hear,

i’ll be here.

i miss you, stranger.

They reference the margerine scene from the SatAM cartoon!!

Huh, the Babylon Rogues from the Sonic Riders games were also a part of the Armada. I love how Ian Flynn's writing connects characters and affiliates together. It makes this feel like a whole connected world instead of separate settings and stuff like in the different games.

For dramatic reasons, obviously.

Ah, we get the first appearance of *Deep breath* Battle Kukku the Fifteenth, Battle Lord of the Armada. He was the final boss of Tails Adventure, but here he's like the overarching villain.

They even kept his weird high heel-looking feet!

Tails did you just knock your dog robot off the cliff in mid-waking up??

Ah, this is worth mentioning! This arc is the payoff for the build-up over the Battle Bird Armada, a thing that both Bean and Predator Hawk have hinted at being a part of in the past.

Bunnie and Antoine are planning a prison break inside the birds' base.

And the key card has the same initials as this Sonic Universe #18!
