〈...I think we should focus on finding a way for the two of us to get back to our world before Prof. Gio can carry out his plans.〉
〈...Unfortunately, that won't be possible. After I used the Agates to restore the world, they spread out across my world like they normally do. And we haven't quite got the chance to seek them out since then.〉







〈Seems to be worth a shot... But where could this "Sonic" be?〉
Well, this is it. This is where the most activity from Eggman's robots can be located... This HAS to be where his lair is.
(Strange... This place is so familiar to me...)
Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Sonic! I don't know why that mean ol' robot was after me**, but...
Hey, don't sweat it! No matter what that Egghead has planned, we'll always be there to scramble them!
It'd be about time we investigated this, anyways. The last time we encountered Eggman was when he tried to take the Chaos Emeralds from us while we were preparing for Regulus***... So it's clear that he is up to something.
I BELIEVE I AM UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS "REGULUS" YOU SPEAK OF.
Ah, don't worry about it; That guy's old news, anyways. Now... Let's go give that doctor a visit!
(...Hang on. I remember now...!)
Hey, guys! Wait up a second!
...Well, well. About time they got here. Here I thought they'd NEVER show!
〈Waaait a moment. Isn't there something we should address, first?〉









〈Why did you say that so nonchalantly?〉











〈My name is Eevtai.〉
〈And my name is Pikason... The fastest 'chu around!〉



...
〈Something wrong, Pikason?〉
〈...I didn't want to say anything, but something's up with those two. The fact that they were eavesdropping on us, and "conveniently" know what these "Chaos Emeralds" are...?〉
〈...You may be right... Maybe there's something more to them than what there appears to be.〉
〈...But surely, you don't think they're up to no good, do you?〉
〈...I don't know. But I'm going to keep an eye on them, just in case.〉
...
What in the name of those from the past is wrong with you?
Huh... never noticed the resemblance until now.
Drgh... it's about time.
Temper tantrum, huh? You really are the real deal.
Your attempts to lead fate astray are as insipid as the people you sought to protect.
How moronic you are to sacrifice your very own well-being. It is after trampling you which my infinite power shall skyrocket.
Don't count your edgelord chicks before they hatch.
...!?
Now you can't hurt anyone else. It's over. You've lost.
Hmph... lackluster timespaces cannot contain me. Now, no one shall save you from your own demise.
It matters not where. It matters not who.





...
You, who is Walter's shame incarnate... can never defeat me, the one chosen to embody god's wrath.
...Done monologuing yet? In case you haven't noticed, I don't care what you have to say. All I see in front of me...
...is a
stain that needs permanent wiping.
chord, i assume you would like learn where we are heading..
as you may know, right now we are in the hgdsfk conglomerate's campaign corpus. There are several corpuses in the conglomerate, all dedicated to a specific task, holding up the entire conglomerate's infrastructure like pillars.
there is the campaign corpus - the one we are right now. After that goes the data management corpus, the place where grunts sort various documents, in order to keep everything in check and order.
the marketing corpus is deeply interconnected with the data management corpus. It's function is seeking out new members to employ and manage submission forms and resumes.
after a hard day of work, each one of us goes to the living quarters. Or living corpus, if you prefer. Each approved worker is given a settlement there, have they nowhere to stay.
though right now, we are heading to the industrial corpus. In it, various materials are put to use to forge building materials, various apparatus to manage the inner workings of the conglomerate, though most important to us - equipment and replacement parts can be bought there from all of the different stores scattered throughout.
It was there. Only for a second, but that brown-red blip was there. That means MKII was present in this world.
(So, then... what do we do!?)
First things first, we gotta let your Pops know. I'm not one to interject, but I'd bet he'd DEFINITELY want to be aware of this!
The Prototype guy, eh...? Yeah. That's probably for the best.
We've got no time to waste. Contact as many people as you can. We may need as much helping hands as we can get.
What about the President?
We'll cross that bridge later. For now, the first person we contact is...
So we beat him up. And now he's gone.
Everything you just said sounds insanely dumb. It sounds like something only a poor failure of an adult man would come up with in a story.
...But you're probably not lying either, so...
Cohorts. One minute.
Done talking to your sidek--
!!!
....Something just came up. I gotta go.
...That's a pretty strange shift in tone. You wanna tell me 'bout what happened in between that little transmission? Hmmm?
Putting it bluntly, it's none of you're business. I'll see you when I see you.
...
...You're not getting off the hook so easily, buster wolf.
Oh now this is getting bothersome...
Huh. That's a pretty big establishment. I may need one of those settlements, actually. What are they like, some sorta apartments in giant buildings or something? It'd fit with the brutalist shtick you have going on in this train station.
Guard... an animal being sold?
...Very well. When does the mission begin?
ah.. I'm glad you asked, sir!
you'll understand this better once you'll be there, but for lower-ranking employees, we provide quarters in apartments over on multi-layered streets.
they've got a bit of brutalism to them, but the conglomerate tries it's best to make your living spaces be as inviting as possible!
meanwhile, higher ranking members, like me, get their own, more luxurious places of stay.
i'm afraid you will have to stay at my mansion for a while until you've been approved for work... If that is fine with you.
although, do not worry, it's quite spacious!
uhhh
Panny: An obviously organic war strategist. Was forgotten about as a character and almost ceased to exist as a result.
Could you not? Last I heard they were in some place called Snowdin.
Jevil: Some lunatic
Tiny: Best ally of the Commander, trained hand to hand combat. With himself. In the void.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Why!? Why did he have to show his ugly mug again... why now!? We were in peace!
It's not fair. I won't let Soul do this again! I'll help him whether he likes it or not!!
I'll go help him. I don't know where he is, but I have something which should let me spot him faster. You should let Scale know what's going on. Guess us forgetting to block him came in handy...
...
...Hey, are you--?
--I...
...I'm not worried. My brother is the strongest. If anyone can win, it's him. There's never been a fight where he hasn't got back up.
I won't try to stop you, but it's because he values us that he did this. I can only make peace with that. You should, too.
...Be careful, little man.
(And the same goes for you...)
He was the last documented person to confront him. Coupled with his enormous power, he would be a tremendous asset.
We've been trying to. But we've been getting no response signal.
(Could this be related to MKII's return?)
Perhaps. Truth be told, I don't know much about your friend, but we can't rule out the possibility. Either way, we need to contact as many people as possible...
wait. there's something wrong here. there's no guard guy for me to sacrifice within the office according to my random plot convenience watch. could this mean he escaped somehow? impossible considering how many plot barriers i set up. unless he did it by sheer brute force and flames of pure bullshit.
but who am i kidding. there's almost no chance that it could be burned twice considering what countermeasures i set up in case of escape and attempted burning of this building.
Oh, hey, big buddy!
How friend Donkey doing?
"Blade"...Wait, you mean Bladesmatter??
What happened?!
And more importantly, bonehead, why aren't you listening to a word he's saying about this?!
*sigh*
(It's been days and I haven't found a trace of anything regarding this "Otto" within the galaxy in either* dimension...)
(But there are helpless people inside that facility. Even if I fear we can't approach them, Kanako won't accept such a statement if I can't at least locate-)

As soon as you both are ready. The creature has taken off already so your time is short. Once you both get your bearings...that reminds me.
Shram! ты дал им нашу голокарту?(Did you give them our holomap?)
...Of course.
Here are two кибер-карты(cyber maps). Use them to locate the teleporter station when you get your bearings.
Make sure you don't have anything organic on you when you enter.
(What...what?!)
(This...just like before...damn it. How is he still this strong, even when we're both using the same form?)
(...I get it now! It only increases the raw attack power of the user. Which means...)
I just need to do what it takes to crack that monster's armor all in one blow.)
Whatever it is, it can't stop me, not at a drop of this height. He's mine! He's mine! He's mi-

Must you continue to be a thorn in my side?
...How are you standing? This power... it only buffs attack right?
I suppose your does, yes.

I am more than the renegade police machine you fought so long ago. That power you poss-
You're the same arrogant fool, constantly trying to escape justice! But don't you know that Madam Justice is watching over our battle, do, do you? I may of been trapped in darkness, but she's-she's not blind!
Blind. *hmph* Then where is she now? If you are so keen on the idea that you're fighting for her, where is she now? Do you hear the flapping of wings? The dragging of her sword? The clanging of golden scales? No. No you do not.
...She is with me, in heart, in soul, in spirit,
In death?
Justice and those who deliver it will never die!
Then perish.
What? You *cough*...you want me to beg? I'm stronger tha-
I don't care if you beg, I don't care about your strength, your self-acclaimed justice, none of it. And I don't care about you. The only reason why I remember your kind is because of what you took from me.
You...you did that to yourself.
...Perhaps I did. Perhaps I did.
But...she...she didn't deserve that. You, it was you that dealt the blow. It was you that saw a non-combatant and fired away.
...That girl was-
Her name was Vanessa. She was the shining light in my world.
And you knew that. You KNEW THAT.
I knew *gasp* nothing, save she was a *gasp* lost cause and you could of saved her if you would of just simply had thrown her into the pit like you did with the others!
...!
The dark deposit! I could-
It's the only way.
...The one with the roses in between the tulips?
...It's...it's okay. I'll take you there.
Hey, just relax. It's going to be fine. ...It's going to be fine...
What? Has it finally occurred to you how you failed her? How you failed all of them?
...
...
...
(What is he doing?)
Tonight, the memory of what you...what we did will trouble me no more.
...You, you can't escape from your past R! Vanessa's dead! You can't *cough* escape from me! Are you listening? I will hunt you down! The Justicators will live on! You*cough* You hear me!
...Death to the Justicators! Death to Fake Man R! Death to the PAST!
