I like to imagine Tails just waking up and walking in on Sonic and accidentally scaring Sonic and Sonic accidentally destroyed something. Having a sort of orange cat vibe
No promises. The world is already a cruel place, the important thing is that you strive to put yourself out there & be as creative as you want to be for your audience (regardless of what people who hate you say.) That’s what true showmanship is all about.
WOW! That was intense! From Sonic nearly dying twice and making a deal with Dark Gia itself, to Eggman being roboticised by the Deadly Six and the Zeti nearly destroying the world and Lost Hex with the Dark Gia Energy… this part of the What If has been incredible! I sincerely hope you get to continue making these What Ifs, Scourge. They are all so well done and deserve the praise we give them.
With the Dark Pact sealed, and Sonic hosting BOTH the incarnations of light and darkness within himself, what may become of the hulking hedgehog? What impact will relics such as the Phantom Ruby and the powers locked away in Cyberspace have on our hero? But most of all, could Sonic perhaps become something more than his cursed state via this unknown power locked within him?
Honestly, I totally see Sonic doing that... sacrificing himself for Tails's safety... Also, Sonic now has two accessories: 1. Chip's Bracelet (Left arm) - this simple band represents Sonic's bond with Chip. 2. Dark Gaia's Shackle (Right arm) - this sinister cuff symbolizes the pact Sonic made to he bound to Dark Gaia forever, in exchange for the safety of Tails...
I was not expecting Robo Robotnik to get sorta referenced in this. Honestly makes a lot of sense and also love that design. Its like a perfect mix of his SATAM and game design in one.
Sonic has a rare opportunity in this What-If. He has the rare opportunity to bring back an even GREATER deity than of Dark and Light Gaia itself. He has the opportunity to bring back the Chaos Deity. The once unified soul of Dark and Light Gaia, and the now consciousness of the Master Emerald. The now inert husk of a planetoid teeming with life called “Earth” What once was the form of the Chaos Deity
Sonic is a perfect vessel and I assume all the time the beast spent with sonic it helped the monster evolve so in a way more dangerous than it was when it was a mindless raging beast I also assumed it learned a thing or two when it was with eggman
I legit let out a war cry the second I saw this notification popup on my screen. Welcome back, Scourge, I hope it's for the long term- but always remember that you can take a break whenever you feel like it.
This should be something you do because you want to, because it’s fun, because you feel the passion for it, not out of obligation, and especially not if it’s detrimental to your personal well-being. Please don’t force yourself to do what you don’t want to, you’re the one that matters most here, take care of yourself, and if that means not doing this, then so be it. I’m happy you’re back, if even only for this one time, but don’t force yourself. I’m certain everyone else feels the same, I’ve been watching you since you used to do theories, because I could tell how passionate you were about whatever it was that was being discussed. That passion is what brought us all to you, it just saddens me to know us being here has taken that passion from you, and replaced it with something far worse. Just do what you want to do, don’t worry about us. There are only so many reassurances one can hear before they all stop meaning anything, so instead I would like to say thank you for all you’ve done until now, and I hope things improve for you.
I'm just glad you were willing to post this at all. I hope you won't get discouraged and keep your creative fire alive. God bless you. I mean that cause your stories are absolutely amazing.
I'd like to see eventually tails get the were hog...or in this case,werefox treatment. to see how a technological mind like his would cope with a feral form.
I just rewatched all the parts to make sure I was ready for this one and this might be the best part so far when sonic made the deal I had to pause the video for a second the reveal of Dark Gaia’s shackle was perfect but I also really like that the ending isn’t all bad for sonic with chip possible return but even still I feel like this is going to be Sonic’s darkest point so far
Could never have imagined this being how Lost World would change because of the Werehog. Whether or not you find the resolve to continue here after this, I’m thankful for your great work all these years, and I hope you stay safe and happy, Scourge. 👍❤️
Considering the fact that after I saw your announcement videos, I recently went back and rewatched the entirety of this channel's output, both Sonic: What If AND The Sonic Theorist archives, I think I can say with 100% certainty that, should you be up for it, I'd love to see you get back to making content. Do not feel pressured into doing it if you don't want to, but I know I for one will absolutely be here to support you should you need it. You've got a community here who supports you, man. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I imagine that if it were shown gameplay wise, the bracelet and shackle would work as a Gaia meter, sort of like an indicator for when Sonic is in his normal form and if he can use the werehog. But that's just me nerding out. Very nice video overall and glad you're okay
Following this channel for as long as I’ve had when the “what if…” series came out I spent some long nights going over the playlists and hearing the countless creative stories there were which made me learn a lot more about Sonic and love this series even more then I used to 5 years ago
Wow. Just wow. That was everything I wanted and more, but the ending did NOT go in the direction I thought it was! I loved the emulation of Knuckles’ fighting style, it was right on par with Sonic’s character! I’m holding on hope that Chip will be able to help Sonic somehow. Maybe Shadow could try using Chaos Control with all seven emeralds. Even if it takes a while, I would really love to see you return for the next part! I know that it’s been really tough for you, dealing with all the hate and relationship turmoil, but never give up hope! I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
The way i screamed when i saw ur video. Im not joking yesterday i searched you up bc it had been ages since i watched you, so i thought id check up, i watched inscourgence and whatnot and was heartbroken to see you potentially leaving the platform, this has brought me so much joy, i love ur videos man and i really hope you do eventually come back, but do please take all the time you need, since this shit youve been dealing with is heavy I hope you are doing ok!
Phenomenal job. This What if? takes clever paths and refuses to give an immediately easy resolution. There's no doubt in my mind that you are a fantastic storyteller. I hope you are doing well, and thank you for gifting another part to us watchers. I wish you the best.
I just let put a silent screech of happiness, Scourge, you're a legend. I cannot describe how much I fell in love with this channel when I first found it. We all support you, no matter what it is that may trouble you! Edit: Zavok played so much Undertale Genocide that he now also knows how to dodge like Sans💀
Sega Scourge you once again have written an amazing story! I am so excited to learn what happens next and how Sonic's deal with Dark Gaia will impact his adventures going forward. This series means so much to me as I had discovered it back when I was just becoming a Sonic fan. Sonic Unleashed will forever be my favorite Sonic game and your Werehog What ifs have only strengthened my love for Unleashed and the Sonic series as a whole. Anyways, I hope things start to look up for you and just remember that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel :)
Honestly, I'm just happy you're doing...somewhat okay, despite all the shit that's gone one. The content is extensive and it dives into the characters well. That and it lets you express yourself. Also, dunno whether it's meant to be or not, but it kinda feels like Chip's bracelet returning is in a way meant to represent that Sonic had to balance or accept both, not just push one away and embrace one. Much like DG is needed for the world's balance, Sonic has to maintain a bond with Chip AND the eldritch monstrosity.
I absolutely LOVED the little Dark Sonic moment! Dark is one of my favorite concepts and to see it show up in one of your videos, AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH! An amazing entry into an amazing story. Thank you for all you've done and I hope there can be more. ❤
I am so happy to see the Sega Scourge has returned, and I am absolutely fine with waiting again for another upload. You just focus on your own mental health my man, no matter how long it takes!
please do continue scourge, these what if's are some of the most well written stories there are related to this franchise and i want to see what other stories you've got up your sleeve
I really appreciate that, dude. I definitely do have tales left to tell, and while I'd love to say "I will," I just can't right now. Just gotta stay hopeful.
@@segascourgeScourge, I understand what you went through in the Inscourgence Video. We all do. We will all be here waiting for you. Hopefully we can help renew your resolve.
I may not be the first to say it, but it needs to be said: Peak content, it was all worth the wait. I should put these on my mp3 player so I can listen to these in the car lol
When I saw this video in my notifications, I immediately went back through the Werehog playlist to catch up before watching this video! Fantastic work, Scourge!
I just finished bingeing the whole What If so far. It's really interesting and compelling. I wonder if the two bracelets now create a sort of balance within Sonic. Like how the world is balanced by Dark and Light Gaia, Sonic now has that balance within him. I can almost imagine him having the same two gauges that Shadow has in Shadow the Hedgehog, and which one is more full determines Sonic's form regardless of time of day. As for what happens next, next is... Forces, right? I might be missing a game or two, but, this presents an interesting situation. The Phantom Ruby is added to the equation now and in Part 5 you set up Classic Sonic having that Dark Gaia influence inside *him* now as well. So, could we get a Mania + Forces story where both Sonics are affected by the Phantom Ruby, and this in turn impacts how they handle Eggman's takeover of the planet? I'm not sure *how* they'd be affected exactly, since the Phantom Ruby seems to do whatever on Earth it wants, but there's a deep potential there.
That was amazing glad to see your back, for me you just made Zavok and the sinister six the coolest they’ve ever looked, interested in seeing how that dark pact unfolds maybe we see a possession, though with seemingly Chip making a return who knows what could happen, like I said glad to see you back can’t wait too see what you cook up next ❤🔥
This series meant an incredible amount to me. So glad it’s finally back, especially in this time in my life. Thank you for keeping it going, I know just how challenging that’s been recently.
Chat are we back?!?!?!? Edit: I didn't watch the video yet but judging from the comments it’s a momentary one, which even still I’m glad fo. I hope you’re doing well Scourge 👍
Amazing video! Loved every single second of it. Seeing Lost World rewritten into something much more compelling. I understand having trouble with creative drive and making videos. What ifs and shit are hard and managing a channel, especially with personal issues can lead to lack of motivation. I completely get it. Take as much time as you need. The people who matter will wait as long as necessary for new content. Never feel obligated to make a video. RUclips is for fun after all!
HES BAAAACCK!!! Speaking of I wanna see, what if the Nocturnus Clan invaded the Sonic Uinverse earlier? Let's sat at the events of Sonic Rush? We can say the 06 split and the dimensional slippage from Rush weakened the cages bounderies enough for this. If it happens before Sonic Battle and Shade sticks around, I so want to see her reaction to Emerl
When I saw the notification, I was jumping for joy! I ran outside of my apartment to the entrance of the complex and screamed "HE'S BACK!" like Agent Stone! I am glad that you shared this gem with us! I am sure the positivity will overshadow the unwanted negativity! We got your back SEGA Scourge! We're riding along with you down to the end my friend! You're the GOAT of the Sonic What Ifs! You're still the King! 💪🏾💯
I really hope all goes well mate. You're a great guy and content creator. You've got some of the best stories I've ever heard, and you strike a nice balance between a comedic and serious tone. I hope things don't continue being so horrible. But if you do step down from this, you'll always be remembered as a legend to me. Here's to a good future for us all
Scourge, it’s so good to see you again! Even if this is the last time I see you, I just want you to know I don’t believe any of the haters, I’m with you 100%. You do whatever you need to recover, whatever that is, whatever decision that ends up being, I understand. You do you man.
I started watching your channel a bit into the hiatus (like, a couple months in) and I am so glad to get more of the werehog what if, even if we don't get anymore. I absolutely love your content, it's some of the best constructed stories I've ever seen. I can never predict what will happen next and your storytelling is amazing! Even if you don't come back, this is an amazing send off. I have loved your stories and will continue on loving them till the day I die. I would absolutely love more what ifs, but if you don't want to come back, don't let anyone pressure you to do something you don't want to. If this is it, it's been a wild ride, and thank you so much for all you've done for me and this side of the fandom. Till next time, see ya later!
This had been another fantastic What If! I’m happy to see that you brought us at least one more episode and I can only hope that you’ll rediscover your drive and creative passion to continue! I’ll always keep an eye out for you! 💚💚💚
NOoOO Way!!!! When I got notification that a new video uploaded and it was a SONIC WHAT IF!! (my favorite one in the series btw) I couldn't believe my eyes. I was going through a rough day today but this just cheered me up. Thank you for taking the time to upload a Sonic What If and after watching your InScourgence video, please take all the break you need, even if it means you may not post a video in a long time or step down from making videos, for we appreciate and support the decision you make, have a great day everyone.
HE'S FINALLY BACK!! BRO I MISSED YOU SO MUCH MAN! Bro I was so upset at the moment, but when i saw your upload you just made my day! And I love the small changes in style! I hope to see more from you again!
Much love, Jaxon. I've missed you guys too. Glad you liked the tweaks to format, and double glad I perked you up! I’ll do what I can to drop a few more uploads and show off more of what was planned.
Welcome back, scourge! I would like say that you don't need to keep doing youtube if you don't want to. Your health is more important than our approval. Don't let your wants be caged by our demands. Take a break whenever you want or need to, we'll be here with any support and comfort you need.
I feel like I’ve gotta give it a shot. I’ll just take it slow and do what feels right. Really awesome having such understanding viewers like you, Noah.
Thank you @@segascourge. I hope you do take my advice if you want. And be sure to talk to someone if you want to. Remember, your health is more important than anything we want from you.
I'm excited to see what the final form's gonna be. Scourge teased it in the previous episode, and most definitely the intro here. I've always enjoyed the forms and designs he makes for these what-ifs.
I was working when this came out, I was like "No fucking way!" Filled with joy. This whole video put a smile on my face, I had to go back and refresh myself with the previous episodes of the Werehog story. I am so happy to see you, and to listen to such a recognizable voice. I have a few things. 1.) You should definitely try wearing a pair of green shades in future videos...but I wonder how that would work with the green screen. lol. 2.) I'm pretty sure you've gotten this specific story suggestion time and time again. "Sonic: What If? What if Shadow was created with Wisp DNA?" 3.) Keep doing what you love, man. Keep creating these wonderful stories. Now take these. 👉 🕶️👑
This. This is what I mean when I say I love the Sonic fandom. The story. The visuals. Your narration. Everything about this is why I love this channel and all of these stories. You took a game that people hate and despise for it's writing, and made something so out of left field for the franchise, but absolutely perfect for this story you have been concocting. I imagined every detail so clearly, and felt everything these characters felt. I am unbelievably astonished and slack-jawed at that ending. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL work man. I may have been a liiiiittle late writing this comment, but I can assure you that my words are genuine (I'm just a procrastinator LMAO). Whether you come back or not is completely up to you. But know that there are thousands of us that love you and this channel, and will for a very long time. Thank you for sharing yourself, and your creativity. We won't ever forget it Scourge 💜
Honestly, this is just brilliant, in every way. The nightmare six, the dark gaia pact and shackle. And chips apparently back? Or at least his energy is, part 7 is about to go so fucking hard. Also little idea you don't have to do this but maybe add a chaos emerald in the corner of the thumbnail for every episode of a series. Just thought that'd be a cool thing
"What if Sonic never lost the Werehog form?" *looks inside* *there's Sonic losing the Werehog form* All jokes aside, this is amazing stuff. I'm glad you were able to make more of this.
This was AWESOME. I see you haven't lost your touch with these what ifs. The effects of the werehog form that you described Sonic feeling at the start,really got to me. Not enjoying things he used to, not sleeping for long periods of time,and wanting distractions are all things that I've done and are still doing. Even if this turns out to be the last video you upload, I'm at least happy that i got to see one last story from you. When i first saw your channel,i would watch all your what if and theory videos on repeat,before i went to school in the morning and before i went to sleep at night. You always put such cool spins on the mainline story,and create interesting scenarios between characters that haven't interacted. I watched the inscourgence video and I'm unbelievably sorry for what happened. I seriously hope that you'll feel better about everything ASAP. I understand that you don't want this drama to be pouring over to your girlfriend. Believe me when i say that I KNOW how difficult things like this can be. Whatever decision you make about RUclips, it'll be a win for me. If you leave, I'll know that you're taking the time to yourself and getting your mind together. If you continue, I'll keep on watching videos from the best what if creator I've seen so far. Take care Scourge.
When I saw the notification I literally screamed “He’s BACK!!!” like Agent Stone did in Sonic 2, Good to see you again Scourge
Same
Same
OMG I DID THE SAME THING!!
I did it inwardly. But yeah, *HE'S BAAAAACK!*
SAME
Everyone: "Woah I, thought you were dead"
Scourge: "My death was, greatly exaggerated"
Long story short: sadly yes, but i lived
Just like Werehog vs Zavok
I like to imagine Tails just waking up and walking in on Sonic and accidentally scaring Sonic and Sonic accidentally destroyed something. Having a sort of orange cat vibe
No promises. The world is already a cruel place, the important thing is that you strive to put yourself out there & be as creative as you want to be for your audience (regardless of what people who hate you say.) That’s what true showmanship is all about.
When I saw the Werehog, I couldn't help but click super fast.
The Werehog is my favorite form. It's so underrated
Sameeee omfggggg
To quote agent stone.
He’s back…
HE’S BAAAAACK!!!
Sonic taking a page out of Knuckles' book is actually really cool
I just let out a scream just like Sonic did when he lost his werehog form to Dark Gaia.
As did I
Same lmaoo
Yep, however I didn’t scream. It’s way too late for that so I screamed in my head
WOW! That was intense! From Sonic nearly dying twice and making a deal with Dark Gia itself, to Eggman being roboticised by the Deadly Six and the Zeti nearly destroying the world and Lost Hex with the Dark Gia Energy… this part of the What If has been incredible!
I sincerely hope you get to continue making these What Ifs, Scourge. They are all so well done and deserve the praise we give them.

What impact will relics such as the Phantom Ruby and the powers locked away in Cyberspace have on our hero? But most of all, could Sonic perhaps become something more than his cursed state via this unknown power locked within him?
In the words of your namesake...
_"All hail the king, baby!"_
**Dabs eyes** That opening notification... I wish you only the best of luck.
Honestly, I totally see Sonic doing that... sacrificing himself for Tails's safety...
Also, Sonic now has two accessories:
1. Chip's Bracelet (Left arm) - this simple band represents Sonic's bond with Chip.
2. Dark Gaia's Shackle (Right arm) - this sinister cuff symbolizes the pact Sonic made to he bound to Dark Gaia forever, in exchange for the safety of Tails...
Best means of making a proper Sonic rpg.
When the World needed him the most he finally returned
I was not expecting Robo Robotnik to get sorta referenced in this. Honestly makes a lot of sense and also love that design. Its like a perfect mix of his SATAM and game design in one.
Sonic and dark Gaia are like spider man and the symbiotic situation in spectacular spider man nature vs nurture
HE'S BAAACK(momentarily)
Sonic has a rare opportunity in this What-If.
He has the rare opportunity to bring back an even GREATER deity than of Dark and Light Gaia itself.
He has the opportunity to bring back the Chaos Deity.
The once unified soul of Dark and Light Gaia, and the now consciousness of the Master Emerald.
The now inert husk of a planetoid teeming with life called “Earth”
What once was the form of the Chaos Deity
I like how dark Gia actually isn’t a beast and how you made it knowledgeable and how it prefers sonic over the deadly six
Sonic is a perfect vessel and I assume all the time the beast spent with sonic it helped the monster evolve so in a way more dangerous than it was when it was a mindless raging beast I also assumed it learned a thing or two when it was with eggman
To be fair literally everyone in the world prefers Sonic over the Deadly Six.
@ yea but idw Zavok was kinda good

Indeed, that intro was sick! Man, did it feel so good to hear that tune in a new episode of Sonic What If?
Glad you caught the Advance 3 nod 😌 obrigado por estar aqui!
@@segascourge sem problemas
Glad to see you again and whatever you choose we will respect your decision. Missed your awesome creative content.
My Brain Has Exploded You Are The Reason I Was Interested In What Ifs Thank You So Much Sega Scourge
Words cannot describe how happy I am to see you return and I am truly sorry to hear of the damage to your motivation
I just discovered the series and watched every episode beside this one
I really enjoyed every episode
Please continue this amazing what if!
Phenomenal job. This What if? takes clever paths and refuses to give an immediately easy resolution. There's no doubt in my mind that you are a fantastic storyteller. I hope you are doing well, and thank you for gifting another part to us watchers. I wish you the best.
I screamed so loud when I got the notification of a new video. I can’t wait for more. Scourge please do more.
I just let put a silent screech of happiness, Scourge, you're a legend. I cannot describe how much I fell in love with this channel when I first found it.
We all support you, no matter what it is that may trouble you!
Edit: Zavok played so much Undertale Genocide that he now also knows how to dodge like Sans💀
What’s the greatest thing I’ve heard oh absolutely love that. I absolutely love that idea. AHAH HE BECAME. I LOVE BECAME.SANSSS
Time to watch another episode of a peak what if.

DUDE, I WAS THINKING ON DOING A MARATHON OF THIS SERIES FOR HALLOWEEN, I CAN'T BELIE YOU GIFTED US WITH THIS
What a return!
It had been so long that it took me a bit to get back into your style. But I can honestly say that this is as good as ever.
I absolutely LOVED the little Dark Sonic moment! Dark is one of my favorite concepts and to see it show up in one of your videos, AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH! An amazing entry into an amazing story. Thank you for all you've done and I hope there can be more. ❤
I missed these. Truly.
This may be a test, but you aced it. Top marks, like all the others.
Thank you so much for the Halloween treat!
I am so happy to see the Sega Scourge has returned, and I am absolutely fine with waiting again for another upload. You just focus on your own mental health my man, no matter how long it takes!

I hope you can continue but take the time you need to rest and heal
It caught me off guard to see you post not only another what if, but a continuation to Sonic the Werehog. This is great and I'm only 0:28 in
When I saw this video in my notifications, I immediately went back through the Werehog playlist to catch up before watching this video! Fantastic work, Scourge!
Same actually
I just finished bingeing the whole What If so far. It's really interesting and compelling. I wonder if the two bracelets now create a sort of balance within Sonic. Like how the world is balanced by Dark and Light Gaia, Sonic now has that balance within him. I can almost imagine him having the same two gauges that Shadow has in Shadow the Hedgehog, and which one is more full determines Sonic's form regardless of time of day.
As for what happens next, next is... Forces, right? I might be missing a game or two, but, this presents an interesting situation. The Phantom Ruby is added to the equation now and in Part 5 you set up Classic Sonic having that Dark Gaia influence inside *him* now as well. So, could we get a Mania + Forces story where both Sonics are affected by the Phantom Ruby, and this in turn impacts how they handle Eggman's takeover of the planet? I'm not sure *how* they'd be affected exactly, since the Phantom Ruby seems to do whatever on Earth it wants, but there's a deep potential there.
That was amazing glad to see your back, for me you just made Zavok and the sinister six the coolest they’ve ever looked, interested in seeing how that dark pact unfolds maybe we see a possession, though with seemingly Chip making a return who knows what could happen, like I said glad to see you back can’t wait too see what you cook up next ❤🔥
Oh my gosh, I’m so hyped it can’t even be put to words.
Take your time caring about yourself is important too
Thanks-I'm notoriously bad at that, but I'll make a big effort for you guys and move at my own pace.
@@segascourge What if Shadow the hedgehog and Tails were brothers and both ulitmate life form?
@@segascourgeWhat if Maria was Ulitmate life form?
This series meant an incredible amount to me. So glad it’s finally back, especially in this time in my life. Thank you for keeping it going, I know just how challenging that’s been recently.
Chat are we back?!?!?!?
Edit: I didn't watch the video yet but judging from the comments it’s a momentary one, which even still I’m glad fo. I hope you’re doing well Scourge 👍
Amazing video! Loved every single second of it. Seeing Lost World rewritten into something much more compelling. I understand having trouble with creative drive and making videos. What ifs and shit are hard and managing a channel, especially with personal issues can lead to lack of motivation. I completely get it. Take as much time as you need. The people who matter will wait as long as necessary for new content. Never feel obligated to make a video. RUclips is for fun after all!
HES BAAAACCK!!!
Speaking of I wanna see, what if the Nocturnus Clan invaded the Sonic Uinverse earlier? Let's sat at the events of Sonic Rush?
We can say the 06 split and the dimensional slippage from Rush weakened the cages bounderies enough for this. If it happens before Sonic Battle and Shade sticks around, I so want to see her reaction to Emerl
For no particular reason, I'd recommend checking out my _"What If Emerl Survived?"_ playlist...
@@segascourge
More so if Emerl is around as they invaded Mobius, I still think it'll be cool to see how she affects future events
When I saw the notification, I was jumping for joy! I ran outside of my apartment to the entrance of the complex and screamed "HE'S BACK!" like Agent Stone! I am glad that you shared this gem with us! I am sure the positivity will overshadow the unwanted negativity! We got your back SEGA Scourge! We're riding along with you down to the end my friend! You're the GOAT of the Sonic What Ifs! You're still the King! 💪🏾💯
I wanna see a part 7 in the future, I love this series
I really hope all goes well mate. You're a great guy and content creator. You've got some of the best stories I've ever heard, and you strike a nice balance between a comedic and serious tone. I hope things don't continue being so horrible. But if you do step down from this, you'll always be remembered as a legend to me. Here's to a good future for us all
WELCOME BACK SCOURGE SAN!!!
This is fun!
So good to see you back Scourge, even if not yet permanent.
Though you're looking rather skinny here. Hope that's not something serious.
It's probably just my new camera lens messing with the perspective. Thanks for looking out for me tho, Dave.
@@segascourge
Okay, good to know.
@@segascourge What if Maria survived?
@@segascourgeWhat if Shadow the hedgehog and Tails were best friends?
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS GET UPLOADED! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE STORY ENTAILS
So glad to see the return! Hope there’s more positive feedback than negative feedback!
hellO?! YOU'RE BACK,
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
edit: nevermind, got way too excited... but this is still very nice to see
Hey, thanks for being excited tho-even if I’m not fully "back" per se!
Scourge, it’s so good to see you again! Even if this is the last time I see you, I just want you to know I don’t believe any of the haters, I’m with you 100%. You do whatever you need to recover, whatever that is, whatever decision that ends up being, I understand. You do you man.
@@mahasinalislam2781 you have your opinion, I have mine
You're a real one, Pun Master. Thank you so much for that.
@@segascourge Your welcome man, get well. Sorting out your personal life and mental health are most important
@@segascourge Same here! You know that I and the rest of your fans in your channel have your back until the end!💚
Yo i did NOT expect this series to return, glad you're back!!!!!!
hes back sweet
I started watching your channel a bit into the hiatus (like, a couple months in) and I am so glad to get more of the werehog what if, even if we don't get anymore. I absolutely love your content, it's some of the best constructed stories I've ever seen. I can never predict what will happen next and your storytelling is amazing! Even if you don't come back, this is an amazing send off. I have loved your stories and will continue on loving them till the day I die. I would absolutely love more what ifs, but if you don't want to come back, don't let anyone pressure you to do something you don't want to. If this is it, it's been a wild ride, and thank you so much for all you've done for me and this side of the fandom. Till next time, see ya later!
We love Faustian bargains
To quote agent stone in Sonic 2, "HE'S BACK!"
This had been another fantastic What If! I’m happy to see that you brought us at least one more episode and I can only hope that you’ll rediscover your drive and creative passion to continue! I’ll always keep an eye out for you! 💚💚💚
DUDE I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER, oh my god thank you dude.
Glad your back, we miss ya🎉❤
NOoOO Way!!!! When I got notification that a new video uploaded and it was a SONIC WHAT IF!! (my favorite one in the series btw) I couldn't believe my eyes. I was going through a rough day today but this just cheered me up. Thank you for taking the time to upload a Sonic What If and after watching your InScourgence video, please take all the break you need, even if it means you may not post a video in a long time or step down from making videos, for we appreciate and support the decision you make, have a great day everyone.
The biggest takeaway from this is knowing my video helped turn your day around. Love that. Take care out there. 🤟
That was amazing with the New Wearhog bracelet and the reveal he can Regenerate and the iconic narration.
Sonic would literally die for tails, what a legend
HE'S FINALLY BACK!! BRO I MISSED YOU SO MUCH MAN!
Bro I was so upset at the moment, but when i saw your upload you just made my day! And I love the small changes in style! I hope to see more from you again!
Much love, Jaxon. I've missed you guys too. Glad you liked the tweaks to format, and double glad I perked you up! I’ll do what I can to drop a few more uploads and show off more of what was planned.
Welcome back Sega Scourge
Welcome back, scourge! I would like say that you don't need to keep doing youtube if you don't want to. Your health is more important than our approval. Don't let your wants be caged by our demands. Take a break whenever you want or need to, we'll be here with any support and comfort you need.
I feel like I’ve gotta give it a shot. I’ll just take it slow and do what feels right. Really awesome having such understanding viewers like you, Noah.
Thank you @@segascourge. I hope you do take my advice if you want. And be sure to talk to someone if you want to. Remember, your health is more important than anything we want from you.
Yes! Oh man, i love this series. It's a great day to be a Sega Scourge fan! WHOO!
Welcome back, Sega Scourge! Even if its only for a little while longer, its great to see your what-ifs again!
Wishing the best!
The Return of the King
I'm glad to see another part to this scenario, hopefully everything starts to get back to some semblance of "better" soon
I'm excited to see what the final form's gonna be. Scourge teased it in the previous episode, and most definitely the intro here. I've always enjoyed the forms and designs he makes for these what-ifs.
I was working when this came out, I was like "No fucking way!" Filled with joy.
This whole video put a smile on my face, I had to go back and refresh myself with the previous episodes of the Werehog story. I am so happy to see you, and to listen to such a recognizable voice.
I have a few things.
1.) You should definitely try wearing a pair of green shades in future videos...but I wonder how that would work with the green screen. lol.
2.) I'm pretty sure you've gotten this specific story suggestion time and time again.
"Sonic: What If? What if Shadow was created with Wisp DNA?"
3.) Keep doing what you love, man. Keep creating these wonderful stories.
Now take these. 👉 🕶️👑
I always have loved the concept of Sonic having his werehog form, seeing him have it permanently is awesome
This. This is what I mean when I say I love the Sonic fandom.
The story. The visuals. Your narration. Everything about this is why I love this channel and all of these stories. You took a game that people hate and despise for it's writing, and made something so out of left field for the franchise, but absolutely perfect for this story you have been concocting. I imagined every detail so clearly, and felt everything these characters felt. I am unbelievably astonished and slack-jawed at that ending. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL work man.
I may have been a liiiiittle late writing this comment, but I can assure you that my words are genuine (I'm just a procrastinator LMAO).
Whether you come back or not is completely up to you. But know that there are thousands of us that love you and this channel, and will for a very long time.
Thank you for sharing yourself, and your creativity. We won't ever forget it Scourge 💜
Glad you're doing this. We're all happy to wait if you still need more time for yourself.
Honestly, this is just brilliant, in every way. The nightmare six, the dark gaia pact and shackle. And chips apparently back? Or at least his energy is, part 7 is about to go so fucking hard. Also little idea you don't have to do this but maybe add a chaos emerald in the corner of the thumbnail for every episode of a series. Just thought that'd be a cool thing
I reallyhope ya do manage to come back, but either way, you live your best life.
"What if Sonic never lost the Werehog form?"
*looks inside*
*there's Sonic losing the Werehog form*
All jokes aside, this is amazing stuff. I'm glad you were able to make more of this.
This was AWESOME. I see you haven't lost your touch with these what ifs. The effects of the werehog form that you described Sonic feeling at the start,really got to me. Not enjoying things he used to, not sleeping for long periods of time,and wanting distractions are all things that I've done and are still doing. Even if this turns out to be the last video you upload, I'm at least happy that i got to see one last story from you. When i first saw your channel,i would watch all your what if and theory videos on repeat,before i went to school in the morning and before i went to sleep at night. You always put such cool spins on the mainline story,and create interesting scenarios between characters that haven't interacted. I watched the inscourgence video and I'm unbelievably sorry for what happened. I seriously hope that you'll feel better about everything ASAP. I understand that you don't want this drama to be pouring over to your girlfriend. Believe me when i say that I KNOW how difficult things like this can be. Whatever decision you make about RUclips, it'll be a win for me. If you leave, I'll know that you're taking the time to yourself and getting your mind together. If you continue, I'll keep on watching videos from the best what if creator I've seen so far. Take care Scourge.
Even if it's just to show off what you 'were' working on, I'm always happy to see an upload ^_^
It’s been nice to share it. And thanks; that means a lot, Emerald.
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK! I MISSED THESE SO MUCH! 😭
