Listening to the ocean's echoes, I heard a third Robotnik surface, different from you or your "Eye-vo" counterpart.
But not only that; he could be more than just a Robotnik!
And if he isn't stopped, we could be in DEEP nuclear waste!
So do you or Amitie know anything about this?
That's gotta be our guy!
For certain!
But he's dangerous enough on his own; how are the seven of us going to take on him plus 12 other robots?
Hey, I could take them on myself!
No you couldn't.
Fine...but who are we going to look for?
Did someone call?
Wh-how did you know to come here?!
Doppler told us 'bout the commotion!
Wait, you were at the Weapons Manufacture?
Well...yeah. We just didn't wanna interrupt while you were talking with Doppler about the Life Virus.
In any case, if it's a bigger team you're looking for, you've come to the PERFECT people!
...isn't it more that you came to us?
Specifics don't matter.
SUBJECT "AOSTH ROBOTNIK" OBJECTIVE: MAKE SUBPLOT CONCLUSION HUMOROUSLY ANTICLIMATIC. SUBJECT "METAL SONIC": A DANGER TO SUBPLOT'S INTENDED PROGRESSION. SOLUTION...
...FORCE SUBJECT TO LEAVE... ORTERMINATE.

Sometimes I wonder if my job has been rendered obsolete.
So ecstatic that you could make it.
On the other hand, your appreciation is not mutually assured.
I am aware of what I am. A construct made entirely out of your one thoughts. Or rather...ours.
Then you know what needs to change.
I am quite conscious of what does. Your refusal to seek out our true destiny. Our fate.
Untrue. You, "MKII", are but an item of the past. A nightmare undone. A concept fated to never seek fruition. I am my own person. And I have made the world my empire from the shadows. I have manipulated the child into seeking refuge under business. unlike you, I have done all that I have desired, and succeeded.
And yet, able as you are, you have sought not a trace of despair!? You have done more to protect this land than you have to destroy it. You have forsaken our very essence with the one thing we are supposed to be devoid of- compassion. I believe it was because of the soul unification method that you have take these traits.
For your sake, you had better not lose your temper... Because if you do. I will take control. And nothing will be safe from the wrath of the Wily Omega.
One sec, guys, I gotta take this...
Oh, hey Rika. How's it going?
...
Wait, Rika, rewind a sec. HOW many robots did you just say there were?!
...
They're headed to Gensokyo!
We've got no time to lose!!!
Are you sure about this?
Trust me, if there's anyone here who knows about engineering, barrages of attacks, AND being forgotten, it's this girl.
Oh, another world to take over, but first.....i'm gonna help mega man and his pals.
Not so fast! creepy!
So, yeah. I don't expect you to build stuff for 4 or 5 more folks, but for as much as we beat this new Robotnik imposter and his minions in quantity, he's probably still got the upper hand in quality.
Quality over quantity, huh?
Well, you guys are in luck. In the two decades I've spent laying low, I've been making sure I hone the quality of my past creations as much as possible.
Wait, aren't you in like your early or mid teens?
Mhm.
...so is two decades rounding up, or-
No, I was in my early-mid teens back in 199X.
...I'm not going to bother asking how that works.
Yeah, I stopped questioning it around the time of that "Vampire Incident".
So, does anyone else live here?
Indeed. The place is particularly surrounded by youkai.
Youkai, huh? I'm not much of an expert on that Japanese mythology, but I'm not gonna let one of them catch me by-
Surprise!
EVERYBODY!!! WE'RE BEING INVADED BY THE ARCH DEMON!!!!!
Oh, you're calling for help? that's so weak! and you're WAY worse than sark!
Damn you... I have claimed the world as mine from the shadows, and you still persist to undermine my work!? No. I will not let the steps I have made be for naught.
So... what now?
OH, FOR-- HOW STRONG IS HE!?
Hey! what are you-a-doing next to the-a-Master Emerald?
