President Obama is back, baby! Back for a third term, Obama isn't alone. Joining him is the new Vice President, Shadow the Hedgehog! With their hands on the seven Chaos Emeralds, not even the secret services can stop them from decimating the competition. They're fit to win another election with their sources about Presidents and the beautiful U.S.A! And no president is without backup; they also get with them numerous songs about secret agents. Now then, my fellow Americans, G.U.N. out.

Tommy: Oh Hi [error_error_]

[!!TOTEM BATTLE!!] ITS NOT TRUE! I DID NOT INTRUDE DIMENSIONAL CRISIS! I DID NOT!

The Outlaw isn't exactly a talkative one, is he? I don't really mind, honestly it's loud enough in here as is, but I've read his file, and... damn, is this guy okay?? Watched his family die, dragged into a life of crime, trained to become one of the best gunslingers in the west just to have a chance to survive? Why does everyone here have some fucked up backstory?

...I guess I can't talk much, can I? I'm living through effectively a zombie apocalypse. This whole thing fucking sucks. I guess I can understand why he'd be so eager to help, though. Given he's been the villain for so long, I would want a second shot at life too. Still, I'm worried. I want to talk to him, see if I can help him feel more comfortable, but I'd hate to overstep on things, and- oh goddamnit hold on, of COURSE Modeus is all over him-

-

You'd best watch your step there, partner. The Outlaw is here and ready to take on the wilds! Once a simple farm hand, this gunslinger got himself into a spot of trouble and ended up on the wrong side of the law. Now one of the quickest shots in the wild west, this cowboy is stepping up to take on the future. Ready... draw!

Lyrics ///
Funny how it all works out
Yet I fear I'ma let you down
Over and over again, I'm a mess
No, I wouldn't do that, I swear on my grave

Oh, give it up
We're 6 feet below
I put a smile
But that shit's just for show

Pale as a ghost
Cold as a corpse
I think I found myself
The perfect girl

I remember tryina hit you on your phone
I was picturing the perfect world
She said I love u, truth is I loved you back
But I don't got the confidence to act like that

The perfect girl
