New Project!
You guessed what it is yet? Probably. Hopefully.
Once again, you can tell me what........ "clothes........" you want your chao to wear. Once again, it will have two....... "parts......," the second being the story-related one.
The story, you will find, is rather...... unexpected. You could say the mere shock would drive you...... bezerk. ........er, um.... well. Yeah.
From those clues, you can figure out what the story will be. Good luck.
DCAHall2 coming October 31st, 2008.

Dark Chao Adventures
A Retrospective
[cut to Shade carrying a video camera (you're seeing through the camera)]
Shade: Yeah, hello, I'm Shade, and this is the Dark Garden right here.
[yeah, he's in the Dark Garden]
Shade: Um... I'm here today to look over some of the coolest moments of my adventures.
[Dark is casually walking by; Shade runs to him]
Dark: Hey, Shade! ....what's that?
Shade: It's a video camera. I got it from EBGames. Now shut up! *a-hem* This... is Dark.
Dark: Hi.
Shade: He's my best pal in the whole, wide world, and he's super smart.
Dark: 2+2=4.
Shade: He never ceases to amaze me. We have the craziest adventures together!
Dark: Yeah. Like the time we travelled to the future?
[cut to a clip of all the chao in the future; Future Shade is shooting zombies with a shotgun]
ShadeF: Dark, don't look.
[BANG!]
[cut back to the documentary]
Shade: Yeah. That was awesome. And the time we went to that crazy city?
[cut to a clip of Dark in Chao Talk]
Dark: Bathroom's mine!
[Dark runs into a door]
[cut back to the documentary]
Dark: My head STILL hurts from that. So, am I gonna get paid royalties for this?
[Shade cuts the tape, and starts recording in the Chao Lobby, just outside the Dark Garden]
Shade: This is-- wait. Lemme just climb these stairs, here...
[Shade runs up the stairs]
Shade: THIS is the Chao Lobby! The world hub, as you may. There's the gate labeled "Kindergarten," which I go to every day.
Dark: Except most days!
Shade: Shut up! Where'd you come from?
Dark: The Dark Garden. And I wanna help with your dolphin canary (documentary)!
Shade: No! This is MY movie! ...FINE.
Dark: That's what I thought. Hey, I'm Dark. I'm the lead guitarist in our band, "Rubber Goose."
Shade: Which we will talk about LATER. For now, let's focus on...
[Shade points the camera at the Hero Garden's gate]
Shade: ...enemy territory. Dark, would you care to introduce it?
Dark: I don't care much for introduction stuff. I prefer the action.
Shade: Just do it!
Dark: Oh! Um... the Hero Garden is, uh... a really stupid place. Our rivals, the Hero chao, live there. They smell bad.
Shade: They're goody-goodies. Uh... Dark, maybe you should show our viewers what a Hero chao looks like?
Dark: Yes, of course! Here, I drew a picture.
[Dark holds a drawing of a toaster in front of the camera, then puts it back in his pocket. ...wait]
Dark: Actual size.
Shade: I bet they killed you for getting close enough to know what they look like, right?
Dark: No, they can't hand rail (handle) my awesome, Dark chao style!
Shade: Good call.
Dark: So, we gonna show our viewers some real live footage of a Hero chao in its natural habitat? Shade: ...sure. But, we're gonna have to do some planning first.
[Shade cuts the tape, and resumes recording in the Dark Garden]
[the camera is on a tombstone, facing all the Dark chao around a map of the Hero Garden; Shade is wearing an army cap]
Shade: All right, men! This session is most important, because it's gonna be on TV, and stuff! Shadow, don't mess with the camera.
Shadow: Sorry.
Shade: Let's have a role call! Dark!
Dark: Here! (positioned next to Shade)
Shade: Shadow!
Shadow: Right here! (next to Dark)
Shade: Red!
Red: Wassup? (other side of Shade)
Shade: Other Shade!
She-Shade: Present! (opposite Shade)
Shade: Third-party chao role call, starting with Dark-Hawk!
DH: Howzit going? (next to Shadow)
Shade: Phantom!
Ph: I'm here! (next to Dark-Hawk and SShade)
Shade: Sweet, I think that's it. Wait, Buddy!
Buddy: Can't believe you forgot me. (Next to SShade and Red)
Shade: I believe that is all. Now, on to business.
All: Yeah!
Shade: First order of business--Phantom, stop waving at the camera, will ya? Anyway, we've gotta take that camera into the Hero Garden... and show our viewers what a Hero chao looks like.
Dark: And how easily they get owned!
[they cheer]
Shade: Okay, okay, okay! So, the battle plan is for Alpha Squadron to go around the east pillars... DH+Ph: Got it!
Shade: ..while Bravo and Juliet teams go west and sock it to 'em!
SShade+Buddy+Shadow: Ready!
Shade: Now, Team Super Awesome...
Red: That's me!
Shade: You will go for your rival, Aqua.
Red: All right!
Shade: The Pirate Monkeys...
Dark: That's a awesome name.
Shade: You go for Hero.
Dark: Yes!
Shade: Finally, Crazy Wicked Super Duper Monster Mash Beating Hyper Man Making Magnificent Gold Team Stronger than Chuck Norris, Master Chief, Gordon Freeman, Super Mario, the Incredible Hulk, Batman, Superman, Viewtiful Joe, 02, Marx, Hitler, Bill Gates, Niko Bellic, Carl Johnson, Tommy Vercetti, that guy from GTA2, Cliff Hanger, Captain Falcon, Shoop Da Whoop, Super Saiyan 4, the Pink Panther, all the Avatars, 50 Cent, Zapp Brannigan, Phoenix Wright, Godot, Nintendo, Mortos Der Soulstealer, Cryptosporidium whatever number, the Tails Doll, Metal Sonic, Neo Metal Sonic, Neo, Chuck Norris, Willy Wonka, the fat guy from My Name is Earl, the announcer from Super Smash Bros.

All: OKAY!
Shade: Well, you get the picture. I'll be attacking Chao.
Dark: My name's still cooler.
Shade: Let's start the assault!
[Shade stops the tape, and resumes just outside the Hero Garden stairs]
Shade: You guys ready?
All: Yep.
Shade: Okay, let's go!
[they run up the stairs, and enter the garden]
Dark: What are your commands, sir Crazy Wicked Super Duper Monster Mash Beating Hyper Man Making Magnificent Gold Team?
Shade: ...
Dark: Sir, I can't remember the WHOLE name.
Shade: I've already given you your commands. Now, CHARGE!
[Shade takes the camera and runs to Chao while the others do their commands]
Chao: Shade? What's going on?
Shade: I'm showing the world exactly how to defeat a Hero chao!
Chao: *sigh* I hope this goes better than the time we were on the news.
[cut to a clip of Shade and Chao on the Chao News; Shade is standing up]
NewsChao: Shade, we'll start with you, do you have ANYTHING you'd like to say?
Shade: Yes, I do. Attention all Chao! Lend me your ears! Stare into the center of the screen! Yes! Keep staring! MUAHAHAHHAHA! *nothing happens* ...... what happened? There was supposed to be a mind control device there!
[a crew chao whispers something to Shade]
Shade: ..... okay.....
Chao: What?
Shade: The special effects Chao had to go to the Chao Doctor.
[cut back to the documentary]
Shade: I'm sure it will, Chao! I'm sure it WILL! Nyah!
Chao: ...what?
Shade: I'm sorry.
Chao: Well, it's not the FIRST time you've been stupidly random...
[they stand there for a bit]
Chao: Or, maybe it IS. I can't remember.
Shade: ...I'm still gonna show the viewers how easily you get beat!
[Shade charges at Chao, who steps aside as Shade falls into the pool]
Shade: Oh, crap, I don't think this camera's waterproof--
[BBZZZZRT]
[the camera shuts off]
[pause]
[the recording resumes in a dark room; a poker table is visible]
?: Is this on?
?2: Yes, it's on. We're recording. ...go on!
?: Right, right.
[Metal Sonic steps into the screen]
MS: Greetings, America, and whoever else wants to watch this. I am Doctor Eggman's greatest creation, Hyper Metal Sonic.
[the Tails Doll floats into the screen]
TD: Wait. I thought Hyper Metal Sonic was when you got all the super emeralds.
[Mecha Knuckles walks in, too]
MK: And I thought it was Knuckles' final boss in Sonic 3.
MS: Watch the Sonic movie; my full name is "Hyper Metal Sonic." Now, get out of the view!
[the Tails Doll and Mecha get out of the screen]
MS: We are currently inside the giant Eggman statue in Stardust Speedway, Zone 2. We call it... the "Stardust Eggman."
MK: It sounds cool.
MS: As those who played Sonic R may know, Mecha Knuckles and the Tails Doll are referred to as...
All: "Metal Sonic's poker buddies."
MS: We took that all the way *Mecha giggles* and actually decided to play poker here, every Thursday night at 8 PM.
TD: It's always fun.
MS: Hell, a few months ago, this radio station, "Chao Chat," talked to us about getting our own show...
All: Every Thursday night at 8.
MS: It's called "Pokey Tourney '08."
MK: But don't turn on your radio!
MS: He's right. It's just... a fake thing. Plus, I doubt 200.1 FM is a real station.
TD: We've had a few others play as the fourth poker player.
MS: Yeah. First, we had this gray Tails clone called "Dark Tails," but he sucked, so we got rid of him.
MK: Plus, I think he was from Mega Man, or something.
MS: Possibly. Then, we had... uh.. who'd we have? Those stupid chao?
MK: I hate those guys.
MS: Yeah, still... currently, we're testing Zim. From the show, Invader ZIM. You know the one.
MK: He's pretty annoying, but... he's a regular poker face.
MS: Also, we have a nice name for our group. "The Poker Gang!"
[pause]
MS: ...just lettin' ya know.
[pause]
TD: PLAY THE CLIP!
[cut to the Poker Gang, and Dark Tails playing poker]
MS: Got any 3s?
TD: Go fish.
MK: Got any kings?
TD: Go fish.
DT: Got any 800s?
[MS and MK stare at DT]
TD: Here ya go....
[TD gives DT an 800]
MS&MK: 800s?
DT: Yeah, they were added to Go Fish in 1999, remember?
MS: Oh yeah.... let's play poker now.
DT: Okay.
MK: I'm up for that.
TD: My butt itches.
[the camera shuts off]
[it switches back on in a Space/Time Rip somewhere. A planet made of dooky is visible in the background]
?: Hello, hello, hello.... I am your beloved... Mephiles.
[walking in front of the screen is Mephiles the Dark, from Sonic the Hedgehog; he is in his Shadow form]
Mp: I am Mephiles. I HATE THOSE CHAO! So much...
[Mephiles pulls a computer into the screen]
Mp: So... I pretty much live here. It's cool. I have a working computer and internet connection. And Gears of War for PC.
[Mephiles clicks on some stuff, and the Gears of War title screen shows up]
Mp: In case you're interested, I beat the game on the hardest difficulty. I... I pwn.
[pause]
Mp: Oh, what? A clip? ...okay.
[Mephiles gets off GOW and opens Windows Media Player, and plays a clip]
[cut to the Dark Garden; the Dark chao are surrounding a patch of oil]
[all the Dark chao surround the oily water as it rises onto the ground, and morphs into... Shadow?]
Shade: SHADOW! HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT!?!?!?
MP: No, you fool! I am not Shadow! I am Mephiles. And, I have a proposition to make to you.
Dark: Um... mister Phyllis, sir? How can you MAKE a preposition? I mean... making under or over just sounds ridicu--
MP: A proposition, fool!
[the clip ends]
Mp: So... yeah. ...I say "fool" a lot.
[the camera cuts off]
[the camera turns back on at a concert in Station Square; the crowd is cheering]
[on the stage is Shade, Dark, and Red!]
[Dark is the lead guitarist, Shade is the drummer, and Red is bass]
Dark: (Ozzy Osbourne impression) Hello, Station Square! We're Rubber Goose, and I'm gonna eat the head off this bat!
[Red walks up to Dark, and whispers something to him]
Dark: Oh. Really? That sucks. (Ozzy impression) Well, there isn't a bat; so, we're just gonna play something for you! Yay!
[the crowd chants, "Free Bird!"]
Dark: Shade, Red? You wanna play some Free Bird for these folks?
Red: ...sure.
Shade: Why not?
Dark: ......... ALL RIGHT!
[just as they begin playing, the camera cuts off]
[it turns on back at the Dark Garden; Shade, Dark, and Red are in front of the camera]
Shade: Well, due to Lynyrd Skynyrd stuff, and copyrights, we can't show you us playing Free Bird.
Red: And because Dark did a stage dive, nobody catched him, and he got a concussion.
Dark: Elephants are bigger in person!
Shade: So, that's pretty much the whole tour. Hope you enjoyed it!
[pause]
Red: Wanna show 'em one more clip?
Shade: ...sure.
(NOTE: This next clip is a preview clip for Episodes 48, 49, and 50, and was shown before the season finale was made public, so... yeah)
[cut to a black screen]
Announcer: Coming soon to computers...
[a clip of Shade Junior walking through some dark hallways is shown]
Ann: The conclusion of an epic journey...
[a clip of the MILKMAN singing "Live and Learn" plays]
Ann: And the end...
[a clip of Shade driving on the highway, just by himself, listening to Jaret Reddick's "Endless Possibility"]
Ann: ..of the Beta Avengers.
["OBJEcTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver the hedgehog shouts it]
[cut to a courtroom; Silver is in the defense's bench]
Silver: This isn't the end yet! There's more to it than that!
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as someone else shouts it]
?: You seem mighty excited fer a hedgehog. Summin' wrong? Maybe it's the fact that me, yer prosecutor rival, is revealed in the season finale?
Silver: Why? Knowing you....
?: "Knowing me?" Y'all don't know me. 'Cause I, myself, am also a forgotten character. Not of this show, but... of SEGA.
[this character laughs as the screen fades to black]
Announcer: DCA Season 6 Finale... coming pretty damn soon.
[THE END. .....I know it wasn't that good. Bite me!]
Friday, August 22, 2008
I LITERALLY ramble now. I just keep talking and talking.
I gotta stop hinting! Damn! Well, this one's not so secret, so I'll just announce it.
DCA Season 6 5-Disc Box Set.
Yep. What could the fifth disc have to offer? Hell, what could the fourth disc have to offer? The fourth is usually the one with the bonuses.
Perhaps... DCARetro? "What's DCARetro?" I'll TELL you what it is.
Dark Chao Adventures.... a Retrospective.
It's like a mock-umentary. Sort of. We take a look back at some of the simpler moments of this story arc, and some of my favorite.
"Wait... 'this story arc'?"
Yes, "this story arc." The Beta Avengers will be done by the end of Season 6. ...pretty much. I'm still mulling it over. And the Season Finale, as you will see, will wrap most/every question(s) you have about the story so far. It'll even manage to somehow link the Beta Avengers.... to episode 1. How will it do that? You'll have to COMMENT to find out. Oh, sorry, I meant "wait." Or did I?
I'm also still considering putting DCARetro onto the site some time. Perhaps it should be Disc 5-exclusive? Don't worry if it is; Shady Cross Paths is "selling" everything for free. ...and with a shop like that, who needs DVDs? I'll tell you who needs DVDs. People who want to read DCA, but their internet connection is down! That's who needs DVDs/Text files!
I suppose I can tell you one thing Disc Four will have.
An exclusive short.
I'm not gonna tell you what it's called.
Or what it's about.
Anyway, on to more secrets I've been keeping all this time!
Ah, yes, the Making of DCA thingie-na-bobber.
"What? 'Making of DCA?'"
YES, "Making of DCA!" I made a small, horrible screen capture movie of me typing DCA Episode 49. Or, PART of it. I also show you every step I take when making your average JOE. ...of an episode.
"When's the release date?"
When #49 comes out.
"Any other projects you neglected to let us know of?"
...one I just made up right this second. When I've publically released Season 6, I'm gonna touch up the website a bit. Maybe make the rest of the character bios, and Memorials I didn't make. Possibly put up some more fan art. Maybe even make a page for all of MY art. Or, my slop I call "art."
"I see. Anything else?"
Sure, why not? I'm feeling generous today. I'll post the first chapter of episode 48.
DARK CHAO ADVENTURES
Season 6
Episode 48: The MILKMAN and Friends
[the story resumes in the remains of the Dark Garden]
Chapter 1: The Father, the Son, and the HOLY CRAP!
[Shade is slowly walking through the ashes]
Shade: The Beta Avengers destroyed my garden.... my home.... my kingdom. Worst of all... the MILKMAN is still alive.
[Shade reaches down to a pile of ashes, and grabs some of it]
[it slips through his hand]
Shade: JOE, ECHO, and TAGLIARE.... I managed to defeat them. But the MILKMAN.... he is still planning.
[Shade continues walking, and looks at the drained pool]
Shade: And worst of all... I'm all alone!
?: No, you're not, dad.
[Shade turns around, and sees Shade Junior by a tombstone]
Shade: Junior?
SJR: You're not alone.
[Shade thinks for a moment, before turning around, shrugging, and sitting down]
Shade: Great, you're here. Now we can die as family.
SJR: Who said anything about death? We can beat the MILKMAN.
Shade: How? We don't know where he is! We don't even know what he's planning...
SJR: Well... let's try to think it over. What have the Betas been doing so far?
Shade: Hmm.... let's see....
- They sent us to the Chao World, and ran Chao Talk to the ground.
- They sent me to Aperture Science so our gardens would be defenseless.
- While I was gone, they bombed our gardens.
- They ambushed us on the subway, so we wouldn't get to ZIM's house.
- I'm pretty sure they caused the resonance cascade at Black Mesa.
- Then, JOE dressed up as Marty to give us that time bomb.
- They sent some people to hijack CPAK, turn it into a nuclear weapons facility to house Metal Gear, and kidnap the faculty.
- They kidnapped us, and made us duke it out in a stadium, while their time bomb was set to go off.
- JOE managed to poison our water supply at the Station Square hotel.
- The MILKMAN hijacked Halo, and threatened to set it off.
- Finally, the MILKMAN managed to escape while sending me here.
SJR: Hmm... something doesn't add up here.
Shade: Really?
SJR: Yeah. I mean, the MILKMAN tried to make some video game events happen, right?
Shade: Right.
SJR: But, everything JOE did never happened in those corresponding games.
Shade: Huh?
- JOE dressed up as Marty and gave you that bomb, right? Since when did somebody do that in GTA?
- JOE's time bomb screwed up the events of Mario & Sonic.
- And I don't remember the water being poisonous in Sonic Adventure.
Shade: Yeah, you're right! But, what about the actual plan? It sounded more like they were trying to get rid of us.
SJR: Hmm... what were they REALLY doing? I think I have an idea.
- They sent you to these video game places... just so they could destroy the REAL world without you stopping them.
- Obviously the MILKMAN believes you are strong enough to stop him. ...I wonder why, though.
Shade: Hey, uh... why are we speaking in bulletins?
SJR: I dunno.
Shade: Also, I think I know why the MILKMAN believes I'm strong enough...
SJR: Really? What do you think?
Shade: ....it's the secret.
SJR: You mean... it's A secret.
Shade: No, it's THE secret. The secret that the MILKMAN told me long ago.
SJR: What is the secret?
Shade: I can't tell you; it's a secret!
SJR: Oh. Well, when will the readers learn it?
Shade: *sigh* It's been said before, but I'll say it again-- THE MILKMAN WILL TELL DARK AROUND THE END OF THIS SEASON.
SJR: Okay. No need to yell...
Shade: Now that we have done all the re-capping, and reuniting... let the episode resume!
[lights flash, sparkle, and shine, and the episode resumes]
SJR: How'd you do that?
Shade: It's a secret.
Hope you've enjoyed this talk. See you later.

Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Eppy 50 is officially done.
It's certainly epic.
It's a little bit of everything DCA.
And, it's a rather..... randomly funny episode.
....but, I cannot reveal any info about it. No "clips," no nothing.
All I can do is tell you........ you'll like it.
So, comment on stuff n' stuff! So I can post #48! 'Cause right now, I feel like... posting it. But I'm not COMPLETELY finished with #50. Remember the FULL Textual Commentary I mentioned earlier? It's not done yet. If I finish it, as well as any other bonus features, or anything in Season 6, then BAM. #48's up automatically.
....seriously, though. COMMENT!
Monday, August 18, 2008
Well, well, well...
I can't wait until I get some... feedback.
That's gonna be awesome.
The feedback stopped at Episode 41.
I've made seven episodes since then.
Technically nine.
Working on #50 now. It's gonna be good. Yessireee.
...I feel like posting #48, but I promised myself I wouldn't make it public until somebody gives some feedback somewhere.
Man, I wanna post that episode.
No, Jordan. Hold back. The deadline is the end of September! .....damn, that's far from now.
Okay! I'm changing the deadline.
Deadline is now When I completely make Episode 50, completely make sure I have EVERYTHING together, and when I am absolutely satisfied with how the first fifty episodes of DCA ended up.
Weird-ass deadline, huh? Not to worry, though. It's sooner than it sounds.
Have a nice August!

Silver: Ace Attorney (Episode 1 part three)
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: ....*slams hands on desk* Your honor, the witness' testimony is clearly faulty!
Bowser: It is? I don't see anything faulty.
Silver: Oh, uh... you don't?
Bowser: Nope. Objection overruled, grayhog!
[SFX: explosion, part of the player's health bar goes down]
Silver: Aw, man.
Shade: Remember, Silver... you have to find a way to link the pictures to this trio of vases.
Silver: Of course! *points finger* Your honor! Give me another chance!
Bowser: Rrrr..... fine.
Silver: The link is here...
COURT RECORD
Evidence:
Attorney's Badge: Silver's own personal badge. He needs this.
Autopsy Report: Victim died in between 2 and 2:30 AM by two bullets to the chest.
Bullets: Retrieved from victim's chest.
Pistol: The murder weapon. Two bullets were fired. Bears the defendant's fingerprints.
Picture 1: Shows someone standing over someone with a pistol.
Picture 2: Shows Shadow standing over Bob with a pistol, and the vase has moved.
Profiles:
Silver: That's me. I'm weird like that.
Shade: That's the female Shade, my partner in law.
Shadow: Shadow the Hedgehog is the suspect.
Robert: Soldier Bob. The first soldier you see in Westopolis of Shadow the Hedgehog. The one who dies. He's the victim.
Tails: A cowardly prosecutor who is really nervous, and also teaches chao in pre-school.
Bowser: The "honorable" Judge Bowser. What he's doing in the Sonic universe is beyond me.
Crub: A crab badnik that witnessed the crime.
[Silver selects "Picture 2"]
Silver: *grin* Mister Prower.
Tails: Urk.
Silver: You claim these pictures have nothing to do with the vases.
Tails: S...so?
Silver: Well, you obviously forgot about.... THIS! *shows picture*
Tails: *cringe* ...AIEEEE!!
Bowser: Silver! What is the defense's claim?
Silver: Your honor, the prosecution is claiming that these pictures are unrelated to the vases.
Bowser: Uh-huh.
Silver: Well, then... why does one picture have a vase, and the other NOT?
Bowser: You're... that's a good point! Prosecution! What is your argument?
Tails: Um... well... uh........
Bowser: The prosecution is speechless, I see. Son of a 'troopa, I think the defense actually got something.
Silver: Really? Wow. Uh... Shade, what was I saying?
Shade: You mean you don't remember...? I think you were trying to link the pictures with the vases.
Silver: Oh! Right. *a-hem* Crub.
Crub: Yo.
Silver: When I questioned you earlier, you said something about having taken one more picture.
Crub: Y...yes.
Silver: May we see this picture?
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Tails shouts it]
Tails: Your honor, this is crazy!
Bowser: Overruled. I'm curious about this last picture, as well. So sit your two-tailed butt down and listen.
Crub: I... I have the picture right here....
[everyone stares at the picture, in disbelief]
[Picture 3: clear as day, Shadow is throwing a vase at the camera (Crub)]
Bowser: HOLY ****..............
[Silver is stressed, and Tails is smirking, arms crossed]
Tails: Now do you see why I didn't want you to see it? We had enough evidence against him. This is just the last nail in the coffin.
Silver: Tell me about it...
Bowser: Well, this seems like decisive evidence. Shadow did it.
Shade: Hey, Silver...
Silver: Yeah?
Shade: There's... something... odd about this picture.
Silver: Really? Where?
Shade: ..never mind, it doesn't matter.
Silver: All right. But, what should I do? We're gonna lose this case!
Shade: ......Crub, you didn't testify about this earlier.
Tails: Say what?
Shade: This isn't decisive. It's just adding a bunch more myst in the swamp.
Crub: Uh... um... I, um...
Tails: The witness was obviously knocked out, and couldn't remember.
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: Right. He was knocked out? Pfft. Robots don't get knocked out, Mister Prower. You should know that.
Tails: Um... well, he just couldn't remember!
Silver: Oh, really? Robots only lose memory if they are reset. If this robot was reset, he wouldn't remember the crime at all.
Crub: ...
Bowser: Hm? Witness, do you want to say something?
Crub: I... I wa--
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Tails shouts it]
Tails: The witness... he's not, uh...!
Bowser: ****ing over-****ing-ruled. He wants to say something, LET him.
Crub: I... I WAS reset.
[the jury starts chatting]
[Bowser bangs his gavel]
Bowser: Order! Order in the court! Witness! Are you telling the truth?
Crub: Yes.
Silver: But... that would mean you were lying to us during the whole testimony!
Crub: .......that's right. Besides the photos, everything I said today was a lie.
Silver: Besides the photos?
Crub: Hey, I DID take those photos. They're the truth.
Silver: But... but that would mean Shadow really threw that vase at you, resetting you.
Crub: Y.....uh.... yeah.
Shade: ?
Silver: What's wrong, Shade?
Shade: That was a pretty suspicious pause there.
Silver: Hmm... yeah, it WAS.
Crub: Shadow threw the vase at me. It's true.
[Bowser bangs his gavel]
Bowser: I see no reason to further prolong this trial! This court finds the defendant, Shadow the hedgehog...
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: Your honor, I just figured something out!
Bowser: The fact that you're a dumb rascal who can't keep his mouth shut?
Silver: No, your honor. I figured out that the witness is STILL LYING!
All: WHAT?!
Shade: Silver, how'd you figure THAT out?
Silver: I have no idea; it just came to me. I had this URGE to shout it out.
Shade: *facepalm* We're doomed.
Bowser: Very well. If the defense can come up with DECISIVE PROOF that the witness is lying, please present it!
Silver: Psst... Shade.
Shade: Yeah?
Silver: What was that odd thing about the third picture you noticed?
Shade: Oh, that? It's nothing... it's just...
Silver: Just what?
Shade: Soldier Bob isn't in the photo.
Silver: *checks photo* ...hey, yeah, you're right. What's up with that?
Shade: Wait, I just noticed something else. Shadow's gun is gone!
Silver: Holy crap, you're right! Just what is going on here?
Bowser: Defense? Do you have your claim/proof?
Silver: Just a second.
Shade: Okay, Silver... let's think this through. If Shadow didn't do it... and Bob didn't commit suicide...
Silver: Crub must have. And that would mean he wasn't knocked out, but perhaps knocked Shadow out, instead.
Shade: It's possible. But, there's not much support to these claims. Like the photos. He took the photos, didn't he?
Silver: Hmmm... did he?
Shade: What do you mean?
Silver: I think I've got it.

Silver the Hedgehog: Ace Attorney (Episode 1 part 2)
Silver: OBJECTION OBJECTION OBJECTION OBJECTION.... *deep inhale* (extra loud) OOOOBBBBJEEEECCCCTTTTIOOOONNNNN!!!!
[silence]
Bowser: We heard you the first time. Imma gunna holdja in contempt o' court, you moron.
[SFX: explosion; Silver's life bar goes down a bit]
Shade: Maybe you should reconsider the evidence...
Silver: Right.
[the evidence appears on the bottom screen]
Silver: The contradiction is here....
COURT RECORD
Evidence:
Attorney's Badge: Silver's own personal badge. He needs this.
Autopsy Report: Victim died in between 2 and 2:30 AM by two bullets to the chest.
Bullets: Retrieved from victim's chest.
Pistol: The murder weapon. Two bullets were fired. Bears the defendant's fingerprints.
Profiles:
Silver: That's me. I'm weird like that.
Shade: That's the female Shade, my partner in law.
Shadow: Shadow the Hedgehog is the suspect.
Robert: Soldier Bob. The first soldier you see in Westopolis of Shadow the Hedgehog. The one who dies. He's the victim.
Tails: A cowardly prosecutor who is really nervous, and also teaches chao in pre-school.
Bowser: The "honorable" Judge Bowser. What he's doing in the Sonic universe is beyond me.
Crub: A crab badnik that witnessed the crime.
[Silver selects "Autopsy Report"]
["TAKE THAT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: Crub. You testified to the court that you heard a gunshot, m i Wright?
Crub: o u Wright.
Silver: Well, according to this Autopsy Report... there were TWO gunshots!
Crub: *shock* No wai--
Silver: Yea wai, you sunnuva-Coca-Cola bottle!
Bowser: *bangs gavel* Will the defense please stop these playground shenanigans?
Silver: Sorry, your honor. But my point still stands!
Tails: N-no!
Crub: Eah...
Bowser: Hmm... pretty good deduction skills there, Mr. White.
Silver: Uh... it's.. Silver. Just... Silver.
Bowser: Oh.
Shade: Don't get so cocky now, Silver.
Silver: What do you mean?
Shade: Look at the Prosecution's face.
[Tails is grinning]
Silver: ****!
Bowser: HEY! Do that again, and I really WILL hold you in contempt of court.
Silver: Sorry.
Tails: Yes, the witness heard a gunshot.... but... what does it matter?
Silver: ...
Tails: The witness clearly stated that he turned the lights on and saw the DEFENDANT STANDING OVER THE VICTIM. ...with a gun.
Silver: .....
Tails: Well? I'm expecting you to start crying, rookie.
Silver: Oh, the rookie in this room will start crying.... Mister Prower.
Tails: Huh?
Silver: I know the witness said that. But, he LIED about the second gunshot. We can't completely trust him--
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Crub shouts it]
Crub: Now, hold on there a little bit! Just 'cause I didn't MENTION the damn thing...
Silver: Well, then, explain it to us! Explain this mystery.
Crub: Okay. If you're so giddy about it, I'll humor you. But, I'm telling you... you're gonna wish you never asked.
Silver: Try me.
Crub's Testimony (The Second Gunshot)
See, I never explained what I did AFTER seeing them, did I?
I stood there, amazed, for a little bit.
Then, I saw the dead guy move! I freaked out, and ran off.
I suddenly heard another gunshot, and looked back.
There it was-- a giant vase falling onto the bad guy's head.
After that, I just left.
[everyone is staring in shock]
Bowser: You witnessed the murder itself!? Why didn't you mention that before?!
Crub: You didn't ask.
Shade: The judge doesn't seem to notice that obvious potential evidence, did he?
Silver: Don't worry; I'll show them the evidence.
Bowser: Defense, do your little cross-examination thing.
Cross Examination (The Second Gunshot)
(Words in parenthesis are the actual testimony, while all else is the examination)
(See, I never explained what I did AFTER seeing them, did I?)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: Really, why didn't you tell us about this?
Crub: Like I said, you didn't ask.
Silver: Grr...
Tails: What'd you do after seeing them, then?
(I stood there, amazed, for a little bit.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: ......
Bowser: Hey. Hedgehog. What's wrong?
Silver: I just don't like this guy. Sorry. Continue, witness.
(Then, I saw the dead guy move! I freaked out, and ran off.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: T...the victim... MOVED? After being shot?
Crub: Hey, I saw what I saw.
Silver: What did the defendant do?
Crub: Say what?
Silver: The defendant. Shadow. What did he do after seeing the victim move?
Crub: Um... uh... well, I ran off, didn't I? Yeah, yeah. I couldn't see him.
[two options appear in the touch screen, "Press Harder" and "Leave it;" Silver chooses the first one]
Silver: *slams hands on desk* You saw him, didn't you?
Crub: Well, uh... kinda--
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Tails shouts it]
Tails: Your honor! The defense is badgering the witness!
Bowser: Really? I mean, I thought we were finally gettin' somewhere, y'know?
Tails: But! But...
Bowser: But nothing! I wanna hear the witness!
Crub: I, uh... sorta... saw the defendant dude... knock something over, and then he fell onto the ground.
Silver: ...
Bowser: Yeah, dude? You look like you're dying to say something.
Silver: I'll save it for later.
Bowser: Mmkay. Whatever floats your boat. Crabbot thing, did anything happen while you were running away?
(I suddenly heard another gunshot, and looked back.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: See? A second gunshot!
Crub: Yeah. Whoopee. Now, can I continue?
(There it was-- a giant vase falling onto the bad guy's head.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: A giant vase, you say?
Crub: Yes, I say.
Bowser: Are you going somewhere with this?
Silver: You bet I am. Your honor, I believe this vase is crucial to this case!
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Tails shouts it]
Tails: Your honor! It's just a piece of pottery-- EAHH!!
Silver: I believe you now see why I believe this.
Bowser: Uh... I don't follow.
Silver: (Jeez, your honor, get a clue!) Around the start of the witness' testimony, he said he heard some "pottery crash."
Bowser: Yeah, so wha--AAAAAAHHHHH!!!
Silver: Exactly. This vase is crucial to this case!
Bowser: Witness! Tell us more about this vase!
Crub: Um... okay...
(I sorta saw the vase smack the defendant on the head, and he, uh... didn't get up.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: See? Now, how can Shadow have killed Bob if he was unconscious?
Tails: M-maybe the victim was already dead? I mean, he claims he heard another gunshot before he saw the vase...
Silver: Yes, but, at the same time, he claims the defendant knocked something over, and then FELL over, prior to the second gunshot!
Bowser: Wait, wait, WAIT. Could somebody explain to me what the **** is going on?
Silver: Allow me.
The witness claims that he was exploring around 2 AM, and heard some pottery crash. He checked its source, heard some voices,
and a gunshot. He shouted, turned on the light, and saw the defendant pointing a pistol at the victim. He then saw the victim
move, and the defendant freak out. The defendant then knocked something over before falling over, himself. The witness then
ran off, and heard another gunshot. Turning around, he saw a vase falling onto the defendant's head and knock him unconscious!
Silver: As you can see, there are plenty of inconsistencies in--
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Crub shouts it]
Crub: I'm telling you, that's what I saw! And I have PROOF!
Bowser: Impossible! Continue.
Crub: I... am a camera bot. I took two pictures-- one of when I first looked inside, and one when I turned on the lights.
Bowser: Hot damn, some REAL evidence! Gimme gimme gimme gimme!
PICTURE 1:
It's incredibly dark, but you can just about see someone standing over someone else while holding a pistol. There's also a vase on a stand behind them.
PICTURE 2:
It's so clear, it hurts. And it's shocking, too! Shadow is standing over Bob, holding a pistol. There is a vase stand with
nothing on top to their left. Also, there's absolutely no blood anywhere.
[everyone is staring]
Bowser: Dude..... DUDE.... I got goosebumps now. Did that vase stand... MOVE!? And where'd the vase go?!
Silver: I think the witness took the second shot at a different angle, which explains the moving stand.
Shade: Psst. Silver. That doesn't make sense... the two people didn't move...
Silver: I'm just trying to wing it, okay? We'll figure it out as we go along.
[Silver clears his throat]
Silver: Your honor, there is something else bothering me. In fact, it has been bothering me for a while now.
Bowser: Shoot.
Silver: According to the witness, there should be at least THREE vases!
Bowser: Say WHAT?!
Silver: He says he heard pottery crash before checking the house.
Bowser: That's one.
Silver: Then, he says the defendant knocked "something" over... which should be a vase.
Bowser: That's two.
Silver: Finally, he claims a vase knocked the defendant unconscious!
Bowser: Three. Freaky.
Tails: I have a theory. Perhaps the defendant knocked the thing over, and it then knocked him unconsciou--
Silver: Impossible.
Tails: Huh?
Silver: Think it over a little.
Tails: Hmm.. the defendant knocked it over, then fell over... the witness ran away, heard a gunshot, turned around, THEN saw........ oh CRAP.
Silver: Yes. Too much time for a simple vase to fall to the ground.
Bowser: DAMN, what is WITH this case?! It's like the first case of Apollo Justice, except without poker!
Silver: Witness, did you take any other pictures?
Crub: Y--
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Tails shouts it]
Tails: Your honor, this picture business is not related to the testimony!
Bowser: As much as I hate to admit it... you're right. Silver, hurry up.
Silver: (Damn! It's like he doesn't want Crub to say any more.... suspicious...)
(After that, I just left.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: You... left?
Crub: Left the neighborhood, yeah.
Silver: You didn't do anything else?
Crub: Nope.
Silver: Not even take any pictures?
Tails: Rookie, now you're just BEGGING to be kicked out of the court. Stay on-topic!
Silver: (I can't even ask a simple question?)
Silver: Shade, it seems like Tails doesn't want me to ask Crub about any more pictures.
Shade: You're right. And I don't think we can spot any inconsistencies in this testimony.
Silver: Argh... what should I do?
Shade: Try to find a way to link the pictures to this trio of vases.
Silver: Man, that'll be tough.
Shade: But you can do it. I know.
Silver: You really think so?
Shade: Yes. In fact, I get the feeling that you should try to explain what happened to the missing vase in the second picture.
Silver: Hmm... I got it.

I'm Just Gonna Ramble (DJtendo DS 3)
DJtendo Developer's Secrets #3
So, what's gonna happen when Shade comes face-to-face with DA MILKMAN!? Who knows? As a matter of fact, there are exactly three people who know (that I know of). Me, BlackPhoenix (friend, owner of Quartz), and Multichao ("Espio," owner of Phantom). Multichao... he "won" the episode randomly. BP's my friend, and I always have a little "table reading" with him whenever the newest episode is made. And me... it's obvious how I know.
Just for fun, I'mma gunna describe what a "table reading" is. I got the phrase from Family Guy, which definitely is now my favorite show (it replaced Doctor Who, so I know this is serious). In Family Guy, when the writers finish an episode's script, everyone involved in the episode gets together around a table, and the corresponding voice actors read the script. Personally, I'm very interested in these. They seem like a ton of fun. Of course, when BP and I do this, it's on a phone. And the only "table" I'm reading from is my computer desk.
Now, enough boring you. You wantz some spoilaz, don'tcha? Yeah, I know what you want.
Possible spoilers! The MILKMAN's name is... wait, no, I can't just tell you it. That's stupid. I mean, since the site's up, you can look up who the name I give you is, and you'll understand a plot element I am hoping to keep secret. There's your spoiler. The MILKMAN's real name is somewhere on the DCA site. It's not in an episode.
Definite spoilers! JOE's name is... well, if you've read most of these posts, you'll already know what I want you to know his name is. It's "Therjak." A character I made up. You won't know a single thing about him, except that it's pronounced, "Tear-yak." I also made up that pronunciation, of course. As far as I know, there is no word in any language like that. Hang on... let me look it up. Nope. Not pronounced "Tear-yak." I think. There are some German things, and some forum-y RPG-I think things, but nothing that would spoil you. Here are some more spoilers. Is that really JOE's name? Or... is the season finale bigger than it seems?
Possible spoilers! Echo's name... is "Echo." Yeah, that's right. You'll learn everything about him in Eppy 48.
Possible spoilers! Tagliare's name is "Tagliare." Same as above.
So, as you can see, the MILKMAN and JOE are the only two who are mysterious, apparently. And even then, JOE seems the most mysterious.
Let me just put it this way-- I'm trying to get rid of any robots/animals I make up except chao. Dark Tails died somehow in Professor Shade-on, and I might investigate that sooner. The Beta Avengers' times are almost up. Echo can become a chao, so he's probably fine, but what about the other three?
Did you like part one of "Silver Turnabout?" Wait until I post part two. That'll reveal some shocking info about the case.
Holy crap, we're nearly at Episode 50. Isn't that amazing? I'm thinking of drawing a picture of all the chao gathered around a large "50," and I'll put it on the front page of the site. Wouldn't that be neat? And I'll probably make it and post it when I make #50 public.
Speaking of Episode 50, how much have I revealed about that episode? Other than the fact that I'm currently working on it. That's right, I've already started Season 7. I really have too much time on my hands, don't I?
So, let me reveal something about "702." (50) It'll be the first episode to take advantage of "FULL Textual Commentary." What is "FULL Textual Commentary?" It's basically... commentary. Throughout the episode. Of course, there'll be the regular version without commentary, but I think I could make FTC work. If I make it right. Oh, and one more thing... I put quotes around "702" for a reason.
Damn, I have been hinting too much. I gotta cut back on that. Especially since this hint, I have OVERDOSED on. Hell, if you haven't already figured out what I mean, you might be Dark.
Note: "You might be Dark" wasn't hinting; it was insulting. Just making sure you knew. And I'm sorry for insulting; I haven't really felt myself recently.
Next on the list: Shady Cross Paths. The Dark Chao Adventures "store." I've realized... I'm not one for the marketing business. Sorry, everyone at Chao Talk, but I'm closing up shop. Or, rather.... I'm relocating. Where to? Where d'ya think? The site. And there, it won't be "the shop," but the "Download section." ..."disguised as a shop." Sorry for any inconvenience. Oh, and I can also tell you when Shady Cross Paths will be opening: When the season finale is up.
Speaking of the site, in case you didn't read the bulletin ON the site, there is now a secret page somewhere on the site. Super secret. No links to it. You have to just... guess the URL. And I ain't givin' it out to ANYBODY. Only I, and BP, know. How do you think I showed him #48? Oh, and, I took #48 down, so don't bother looking for the secret page, expecting to read it. It has been replaced with something of equal value, though.
I have got to stop hinting.
Season 7 info! The chao will be back in their gardens, doing what they're good at: NOTHING. Hardy hardy har. In fact, I've got some good ideas for some episodes! Here's one-- Rubber Goose (Dark's band) has their first concert, and while Shade, Dark, and Red are out, the female Shade has to 'babysit' Shade Junior, and Shadow the chao. Or something close to that. You get the picture, don't you? Doesn't it sound... casual? Like Season 1?
What's next to be revealed in my Developer's Secrets? DCA08. It's half-hiatus, you could say. It's not ON hiatus, but then again, it's not my top priority, either. BUT, it'll be over before 2009, of course. Definitely. You could even say it's a year-long season, but I don't want to take until December to finish the chao's chronicles in secretcity.
Well, I can't think of anything else to say. So, I'll turn on the radio! *bzzzrt* Oh, nothing's on. I'll try again later.
....I'll try again now. *bzzzz..........*
Announcer: This is 200.1 FM, Chao Chat. All A-Life.... all YOUR life.
Shade: Hello, and welcome back to The Dark Show! Uh... this is Shade, here with special guest, Mephiles the Dark!
[audience claps]
Mp: Yo.
[audience cheers]
Shade: So, Mephula.
Mp: Uh-huh?
Shade: I hear you're gonna be in a new movie soon.
Mp: Oh! That's right. Um... it's called, Dances With Your Mother.
Dark: You got burned, Shade!
[SFX: flame sizzle]
Shade: *chuckle* No, seriously, what's it called?
Mp: Okay, it's called, Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
[audience boo]
Shade: You serious?
Mp: No. *laugh* I'm not gonna be in any new movies!
Shade: ....really?
Mp: Heh... yeah!
Shade: Okay, then you can get off the show, then.
Mp: Wh...what?
Shade: .......kidding!
Dark: You just got DARK'D, DORK!
[SFX: fart]
Mp: Ahhhhh!
Shade: All right, now we just got a caller from the Hero Garden, uh... her name is "Honey." Hello, caller, and you're on the Dark Show.
Honey: (phone; static) ...hello?
Mp: Hey, Honey-buns.
Honey: Mephiles? Ohmyherochaos, I'm speaking to the Mephiles?
Mp: The one and only.
Honey: OmiherochaoomiherochaosomiHEROCHAOS! Okay! Okay! Um... are you working on anything? Like, um... are you gonna be on TV?
Mp: Well, now that you mention it, I will be in a commercial for Geico.
Honey: Really?
Mp: Yeah, I'll be an evil demon that stands on some guy's shoulder. Like in the cartoons.
Shade: Sweet, really? Could you give us a sample?
Mp: Okay. *a-hem* (sinister) Don't listen to the angel; auto insurance is for saps! Just go out there in the open road, and drive like a wild boar! *pause* Oh, really, tough guy? You wanna come over to my face and say that, you goody-two-shoes little punk? *pause* ...seriously? You'll save that much money? Wow, forget this job, I'm gonna call Geico! *finish*
[audience cheer]
Shade: Thank you, Mephiles, for that great performance, and thank you, Honey, for getting him to do it.
Honey: You're welcome. *hang up*
Shade: And it's time for a word from our sponsors! The Dark Show will be back in a bit.
[random tampon commercial; radio turns off]
And that's it. Hope you enjoyed all this stuff! Also, Mephiles will not be starring in a Geico commercial, you idiot.

Silver: Shade!
(note: we'll call her Shade instead of SShade for this series)
Shade: I'm ready to help you out again.
Silver: Great!
Shade: So, what's in the Court Record so far?

Silver: Are you sure? They say you shot Bob twice in the chest, you know.
Shadow: I really didn't! Please tell them I didn't do it!
Shade: Uncle Shadow, are you POSITIVE you're innocent?
Shadow: Yes!
Shade: Silver, do you believe him?
Silver: Yes.
Shade: Then I'm sure you'll be able to do this.
Silver: Thanks. ....oh, it's time to start the trial! Let's go, Shade.
"April 6, 10:00 AM,
District Court
Courtroom no.5"
[the jury is chattering]
[the judge bangs his gavel]
[THE HONORABLE JUDGE BOWSER IS SPEAKING]
Bowser: All right, all right, be quiet, will ya? Show a little respect. Court is now in session!
[THE NERVOUS PROSECUTOR MILES PROWER IS TRYING TO PROVE THAT SHADOW KILLED BOB]
Tails: The prosecution is ready, your honor.
[THE RATHER NEW ATTORNEY SILVER THE HEDGEHOG IS TRYING TO PROVE THAT SHADOW DID NOT KILL BOB]
Silver: Um, uh...
Bowser: Is the defense ready?
Silver: Uh... yes, your honor. The defense is ready.
Bowser: Okay, then. Now let's get this show on the road! Mister Prower, your opening statement, if ya please.
Tails: *a-hem* A few nights ago, Robert, a GUN soldier and veteran of the Black Arms/Humans war of '05, was shot twice in the chest.
Bowser: Gruesome. Awesome.
Tails: We have evidence that shows that Shadow the Hedgehog is responsible for this murder.
Bowser: I see. And, uh... might I ask, what IS this "evidence?"
Tails: (pistol shows up in top-right corner) Here is the pistol that was used.
[Bowser grunts]
Tails: Research shows that, uh, two bullets WERE fired. And fingerprints came up as the suspect's.
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Bowser: Yeah, dude? You got a problem?
Silver: I thought the victim's name was "Bob," not, "Robert!"
[awkward silence]
Bowser: Bob is SHORT for "Robert," you slack-jawed nitwit! Another dumb outburst like that, and that'll be yer head!
Silver: Sorry.....
Shade: I recommend you think before your next objection, Silver.
Tails: Moving on, we have a witness that claims to have seen the crime taking place.
Bowser: Now we're talking! Bring the lucky jerk in!
[a small, crab-shaped robot enters and gets to the witness stand]
[Bowser's pupils are wide]
Tails: Is something wrong, your honor?
Bowser: **** yeah, something's wrong; what the bloody **** IS he?
Tails: He is a badnik. Simply put, he is a robot. His name is "Crub."
Bowser: Crub? More like, "crap," if you ask me. Just give us your testimony, will you?
Crub: Sure thing.
Crub's Testimony (Witness' Account)
So there I was, right? I was returning home to the Egg Base when suddenly, I heard this CRASH.
I checked the house it came from, and the door was open!
Then, I heard voices, and a gunshot.
I shouted, "HEY! What's going on in there?" and turned on the lights.
I saw that hedgehog guy standing over that soldier guy, with a pistol.
Bowser: DAMN, man! That **** is VAGUE! Can't you be ANY more specific?! *groan* Start your cross-examination, defense.
Cross Examination (Witness' Account)
(Words in parenthesis are the actual testimony, while all else is the examination)
(So there I was, right? I was returning home to the Egg Base when suddenly, I heard this CRASH.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: You were up pretty late, weren't you? It must have been at least 2 AM!
Crub: So what? Bite me!
Silver: I was just saying!
Crub: I'm a robot, whaddya EXPECT?
Silver: Sorry!
Crub: Eh, whatever.
Silver: Well, what did the crash sound like?
Crub: Like pottery, or whatever.
Bowser: That's pretty important, you sunnuvagun! Add it to your testimony before I call you guilty of something!
Crub: Fine! Sheesh.
(The crash sounded like pottery falling over.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: Are you sure?
["OBJECTION!!!" appears on-screen as Tails shouts it]
Tails: Your honor, Silver is badgering my witness!
Silver: What? No, I'm not!
Bowser: He's right. Shut the **** up. Witness, did you check the source of the sound?
(I checked the house it came from, and the door was open! Then, I heard voices, and a gunshot.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: You're positive that's what you heard?
Crub: As true as blue, man. I seen stuff, y'know? Like... in my mind. I seen some ghosts... and some wars, and stuff.
Silver: ...what are you talking about?
Crub: I dunno.
Silver: Still, you heard voices.... and a gunshot?
Crub: I dunno, I mean.... I guess so.
Silver: Uh-huh. *grin* Just what I was hoping you'd say. Please continue.
(I shouted, "HEY! What's going on in there?" and turned on the lights. I saw that hedgehog guy standing over that soldier guy, with a pistol.)
["HOLD IT!!!" appears on-screen as Silver shouts it]
Silver: *slams hands on stand* Crub, what you're saying could determine the life of someone! ARE YOU SURE THAT'S WHAT YOU SAW?
Crub: If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have told you.
Silver: I see.
Silver: His testimony is pretty accurate...
Shade: Not quite.
Silver: What do you mean?
Shade: Something he said doesn't match up with the evidence!
Silver: Really?
Shade: Check for yourself.
(NOTE: at the end of each Cross-Examination, you must figure out what contradiction there is)

War of the Gardens is officially OFF Hiatus!
Also wanna let you know that, although I won't show episode 48 for a while, I'll still keep you up-to-date on the other things, like DCAWG!
In fact, I am now confident with DCAWG enough to reveal its plot synapsis.
DARK CHAO ADVENTURES
War of the Gardens
For many a year, a war between the Hero chao and the Dark chao has been going on. You are _____, otherwise known as the Chronicler. It is your duty to pick a side, and end this war for once and for all. Of course, not if Mephiles has anything to say about it.
Sound interesting yet? Betcha didn't expect the "Mephiles" part, did you? Don't worry, there's still some parts of the story I haven't revealed.

A Tiny Break.
Sure, I finished the next episode before I made Metal Gear Shade, but the next one's THE FREAKING CONCLUSION TO SEASON 6. So, I'm waiting until some more people "wake up."
And I have come to the conclusion that people will post in Half-August, or September.
Long time to wait, huh? Don't worry, if nobody posts, I'll still show you the next one by the end of the month.

Hey, kids! Didja like season 4, and DCA08?

That! That's me, by the way. I'll be making quite a few things there, but among them, is a video series which basically boringly shows the secretcity series. I'm sure I'll die there. A lot.
So, uh... en...joy?
