Whatever! What one of these EXEs are, I don't care! The strongest, most handsome man on the planet has no room for chumps in his schedule!
Hasta la vista, suckers!
Oh, I forgot I had this.
Wait, if this is a Master Emerald shard, we could have a problem. I should probably find Knuckles and give him this.
Ugh... where am I?
I don't think this is the Quint Repairs Center.
Yeah. Either everything that happens forward is a figment of one of our imaginations or...
..We got lucky.
You're welcome, by the way. Had it not been for this, the two of you wouldn't have made it out so easily. Or at all.
Okay, but what is it?
Just a piece of an over 4 millennia old ancient artifact which can act as a potentially unlimited power source to whosoever bears it..
Iiiiinteresting. Mech, I think I know what we're going to do today!
Please tell me this is going to be an average gem heist...
....So, no hard feelings about what I di-
Agh! You know what? Forget this. I've done my part. It's time I return.
Sorry I was late. I did happen to find these, though.
They're these strange glowing rocks... Perhaps we should hold on to them.
Why? I'm pretty sure it's none of our business what they are.
I personally think we should do it for the lolz.
(Yeah, maybe we should hold on to these. If they turn out to be important and they're taken in by the wrong hands, then...)
Then it's settled 3-1. We'll take these for safe keepings. Now that that's settled, let's get back to HQ.
Fine. But let it be known that should something happen to one of us due to our meddling, I will not hold back on any "I told you so"'s.
Alright, Spider-Man. Your job is to deliver these 10 green crystals...
...To THIS red echidna.
If you think THIS place is cool, then just wait until you see my Modern counterpart's! I'd bet he has a lot MORE cool gadgets!
So, what brings you two here, anyway?
I see... Well, lucky for us, I've got a few for myself!
With my 4, this makes our total amount to be 20! I'll call up our Knuckles to see if he'll help us find more!
...Wait. Our Knuckles doesn't HAVE a phone.
So, where do we start?
How about we contact Du-
Naaaaaah. He's probably busy. We'll look for the others ourselves.
No problem! Consider these crystals delivered, Mr. Beta Shadow! Catch ya later!
It's pi-- Oh, well, I guess now it's gem time..
Pfft, I bet that loser wishes he had a real ride like mine!
(Then again... He came from the Restaurant, which I was nearby when I found those glowing stones. Perhaps getting the jump on this spandexed loser will help make me even more rich!)
(Spider-Sense is acting up again... someone must be after me. I'd better keep an eye out for any trouble...)
...I ain't gonna let it get to me, I'm just gonna creep! Down in Pumpkin Hill, I got to find my lost piece!
Is singing the song really that necessary, Knuckles?
Oh, come on. It's a classic!
Do do, dodo do dodo dodo, do do...
See? THAT guy gets it! ...Wait, what the-!?
Man, I can't wait to have all these weed crystals to myself!
Hey, you! Handsome as you may look, you'd better hand those over before I punch you 'till you're ugly!
Uh-oh.
H-hey! Knuckles, wait!
...And off they go, I guess.
...Huh? What's that place over there...?
...This appears to be a base of sorts... We should be careful. Who knows what lies on the other side.
Out of the way, you blue dolt! Let ME handle this!
Bass, wait!
Oh my gosh! I'm VERY sorry about that! I was just practicing with my new strength when I fired that shot... Please forgive me in that regard!
Don't worry, Mr... Actually, who are you, anyways?
OH! Sorry, I failed to introduce myself, haven't I...?
My name is Techno... But you can just refer to me as Techno +.
Techno... +?
Well, well... If it isn't the Blue Bomber himself, and his little friends... Please, do come in...
...And make yourselves at home.
Yeah, right, Egghead! As if we'd give the Emerald pieces to you!
...How DARE they not invite ME to their party? ...I mean, I wouldn't have gone anyways, I HATE social activity, but it's the thought that-
...You're seriously STILL here!?
You're darn right I am! and I won't be going ANYWHERE until you make me a NEW Anti-Omni Meme!
...A NEW Anti-Omni Meme? What happened to the OLD one?
...*Sigh* Well, alright. I know what it is you seek, and due to my status in the hierarchy, I cannot guarantee to give you EXACTLY what it is you want, but I will do what I can.
Come along, K. Rool... Let us get to work.
Hey, uh, boss? I found these green crystals laying around...
Good. I don't care. Just take them to the ship and put it with the rest of the treasury!
Yes, boss. Right away.
I've got an Idea!
What?
How about we go to the Dark Fortress to have some sort of Emerald Radar made? That way we could find any other faster!
...Did you just come up with a good idea?
's what I do.
Perfect. We'll join you.
Honestly we have nothing else important to do so...
And if your base really is capable of producing radars for these shards, then it could prove of use to us.
....
Heh! All right, then! Let's get a move on!
...For 20 years, I have waited for that perfect day... Of a new sequel's release, of which never came!
And now I've grown tired of waiting, the promise has been broken... And now, I shall unleash upon my foes evil unspoken!
My skin has regrown, and with these 5 green jewels in hand...
...I will destroy that bird and bear, and their merry band!
Sorry, boys. As a fellow treasure hunter, I truly do respect you, really... But no jewel- especially the likes of THESE- can escape the eyes...
...Of Rogue the Bat, the greatest Treasure Hunter in the world!
