On a distant mountain, a mountain which towered far above anything else surrounding it, an energetic storm brewed with such fierce power, dark lightning bolts rattling around every corner of the harrowing mass of cloud. It was unclear where this storm came from, or whether it had any intention of going anywhere else – onlookers from afar would claim that this storm had been ravaging the mountaintop for quite some time. Granted, it did not appear to be doing much, though citizenry had been warned not to go near the mountain, for fear and concern that any wayward lightning strike could send an avalanche down the side in a terrifying instant. Thus, none dared to go up to the mountain to explore, and thus, did the storm ravage on. Nobody could have guessed that, underneath the thick layer of electrically charged cumulonimbus, lay a sprawling base of operations for one of Terra’s most diabolical criminals. If one were to fly in close, they would bear witness to a chilling sight, a vision of murky, purple clouds, with vicious neon electrical discharges, seemingly protecting a gigantic amalgamation of pipes, metal, iron, and all other sorts of metals. Several enormous smokestacks pierced further into the heavens, the apparent source of the mass of cloud that encompassed the entire region. No matter where one would look, there were formations of lights, belonging to fleets of ships that kept watch over the entire region, flying about and encircling the premises to ensure that none dared brave the depths of that stormcloud smothering the top of the mountain. And deep within the base itself, the madman could be found plotting his next move. -- The control room was dark, only illuminated in places by the various monitors and screens located all around, displaying information, feeds, reports and other sources of footage without end. Large, towering computers stretched onwards for what seemed like forever, with tens upon tens of little robots hovering about, organizing and tying off important cables, soldering critical pieces of hardware to specific spots, moving objects around between towers, and even some that were upholding cleaning detail, equipped only with sponges and a seltzer bottle in some cases. Everything was busy with maintenance, while the one in charge was taking care of business of his own. At the main control panel sat the slouched figure of the mastermind behind it all, one Dr. Eggman Nega. The roboticist was talking loudly into a microphone, intensely watching the imagery of a noisy, messy battle that was unfolding before his eyes. He laughed aloud, his voice carrying throughout the echoey halls of his control room, as he leaned into the mic to add some dialogue to the mix. “Hahahahahah… You really are an utter, utter simpleton!” The monitor flickered, and communication had suddenly been lost. Nega reeled back in mock surprise, whistling through his mustache as he slowly allowed the grin to return to his face. He chuckled, before he suddenly cackled uproariously, pushing himself away from the panel and allowing his chair to go into a spin as he guffawed with such glee. The fool. That hedgehog… The utter fool. He was performing exactly as he had planned, like a puppet on a string. Calming down, his laughter finally settling into a cool giggle, Dr. Nega stood up from his chair with a stretch, before crossing his arms behind his back. He began to walk, idly watching his little worker bots continue their assignments as he made his way towards the exit. He had things to do, now that his master plan was finally underway. And there was naught a thing that Sonic, or that irritating feline, could do to put a stop to it. Not this time. Leaving the control room via a set of double doors, Eggman Nega strode into, by contrast, an absolutely vibrant corridor, the walls lined with gold-plated iron, a blood-red carpet laid out from end to end of the hallway, and chandeliers strung from the ceiling with every fifteen feet. Adjusting his glasses, Nega chose a direction, and began to walk once more. He snapped a finger, before his hands resumed their position behind his back, and spoke firmly towards the nearest speaker in the corridor, one of hundreds strewn about the base for this very purpose. “ Metal Blaze. If you please, I would like to speak with you, immediately.”

The doctor grinned as the chirping voice of his creation replied back in kind. Metal Blaze was one of his most prized inventions to date, even rivaling the A.I. present in his Gaian counterpart’s own robots. Nay… very well surpassing the A.I. present. The good Doctor of Sonic’s home dimension was certainly no pushover, but never in a million years would he ever come close to Nega’s own genius. He chuckled, these thoughts and more swimming around in his brain. “My dear… I would like for you to accompany me to the main vault. A little walk and talk, as they say. I am currently traversing through Hallway 2-KX, ‘Red Corridor’ – how soon may I expect you?”

The doctor simply smiled, and continued his walk down the corridor, eventually coming to a halt in front of an elevator. Pressing the switch on the panel next to the doorway, Nega called the elevator and waited patiently – by the time the elevator arrived, his greatest creation would likely have caught up to him. Thoughts of his plans swirled around in his brain, as he pondered the current route now presented to him with today’s events, as well as alternate paths to follow should any of them fail to pull through accordingly. He was a man who left no stone unturned when it came to proper planning. There was a reason he was feared all throughout the Kingdom – you never knew when Nega’s failure was merely an additional step in his master plan. Smiling to himself as he continued to ponder, Nega silently waited on the elevator.

The sound would reach Nega's ears long before he caught sight of its source - the unmistakable sound of robotic feet clanging against the floor. But unlike that of a normal stride, each step seemed to have a distinct hop to them. As the lilac burmese modeled metallix rounded a corner, it became all too clear as she walked with a small spring in her step, and indeed, seemed to carry an overall spirited posture. She stopped at Nega's side and purred merrily. "Hi Papa!"

Nega chuckled, placing a gloved hand upon her forehead for a short, loving rub. “Ahh, greetings, my dear. You seem quite chipper today. That’s good – I wouldn’t have programmed you to act otherwise!” He chuckled, impressed by his own genius. “We have many things to talk about. In particular… your role, in the coming weeks. It would seem that my latest and greatest plan has kicked off without a hitch.” The elevator arrived, heralded by a soft ‘ding’. As the doors opened, Nega bowed and waved a hand towards the open door. “After you, my dear.” Assuming she stepped in, he followed after her, pressing a switch and standing idly as the doors closed, the elevator beginning its slow descent into the lower levels. Clearing his throat, he gazed down towards his creation with a smile. “As I expected, the fools have retrieved the Sol Emerald from my robot, and it is very possible those birdbrained Kuku fools will get their hands on another one very soon.” He stroked his mustache. “Everything is moving along as I have said it would.”

"That's great!" Maze beamed, waving her tail. "Like, what about the other emeralds then?"

The doctor grinned his sickly little grin as he pulled his gaze down towards the robot by his side, and from behind his back he seemed to magically procure one of the seven Sol Emeralds – this one emitting a most dazzling shade of green. “Currently, they are still within my possession. Granted, they soon won’t be, which is the idea, of course, but…” He chuckled, his mind filling with particularly grim thoughts as he brought the emerald up to his face, examining every facet of the stone through his tinted glasses. “We can’t just send them all in at once. Such actions would only serve to hasten the dimensional tears in such a way that they cannot be slowed or controlled by me, which would be… quite disastrous! Their arrival must be staggered out. I want to destabilize the worlds, I don’t want to destroy them. Well… Ho ho, maybe not yet, but… you get what I mean.” Clearing his throat, he passed the emerald over to Maze, giving her the option to take it from his hand then and there. “That being said, it is just about time to send another two, or… perhaps even three emeralds to our loving neighbors. By this time, G.U.N. is likely preparing to send out extraction teams to seek out and locate more emeralds, and that hedgehog is very likely going to get together his own little crew of friendlies to go hunting on his own terms. Additionally…” He adjusted his glasses, the smile never leaving his face, and perhaps even growing wider over time. “My dear old… ehrm… counterpart, I should say… is likely being fed some of the good news through his little blue lackey, Metal Sonic. Such a good boy, whose loyalty never wavers. … Well. Ha ha ha… Except for that one time, but, alas, nobody’s perfect.” His eyebrows raised, his toothy grin practically beaming down as he turned to Maze to pat her on the head. “… Nobody, save for those who were created by me, of course!” The elevator doors opened, and he stepped out, beckoning Maze to do the same.

Accepting the glowing gemstone, Maze stared with wonder into its sparkling center. She could detect the immense power radiating from it, and it was positively electrifying. Listening as Nega carried on explaining his plan, the feline metallix continued to purr, rubbing her head against her creator's hand as she was patted. "Brizzy's going to be, like, so mad," Maze snickered, continuing to follow alongside Nega. As she walked she continued to keep her eyes locked on the emerald in her claws. "So when do I get to play?"

As the two of them stepped out of the elevator, Nega placed both hands behind his back once again. The hallway this time was far more barren than their previous location. Rather than the vibrant reds and golds that would have been expected, the corridor was dark, cold, and incredibly narrow. Rectangular fluorescent lights periodically dotted the ceiling along the way, of which was composed almost entirely of metal pipes, rods of iron and steel intertwining up above with no end in sight. The floors were incredibly reflective, a hollow, empty sound reverberating off of the thick, metallic walls with every step that Nega and Maze took. An occasional window allowed a glimpse into the outside world - a view of the tumultuous, chaotic storm that surrounded their mountain hideout. It appeared they had been transported to the top-most floor of the entire base. And the end of this ominous hallway, was a door to another room. Smiling, the doctor punched in a complex numerical code into the adjacent panel installed by the entrance. After confirming the input, the heavily armoured frame separated down the middle and disappeared into either side of the doorway with a noisy hissss. Stepping through, Eggman Nega beckoned Maze to follow. The room they entered was relatively small, but there was a lot going on, to be sure. Monitors, dials, switches and levers of all shapes, sizes and colours were scattered all over the place, covering most surfaces of the room. In the center of the room was a simple pill-shaped glass pod, connected to all manner of cords, cables and tubes. Big enough to easily fit the height of two Eggmen, it emanated a dim, haunting glow from within, as if it were simply idling by, waiting for some sort of command to be issued. Parading towards a chair at the other end of the room, Nega spun in place before throwing himself backwards into the seat, sliding backwards a little from the momentum of his movement. Proudly, his hands gestured towards the pod in the center of the control room. “ Behold, my dear! It is my latest creation – the very thing that will send you directly to the Dimension of Gaia!” He gently adjusted his glasses as his smile grew wide. “I call it the… … Well. That’s a secret, I’m afraid.” He chuckled, and spun in his chair briefly, before coming to a halt in front of the panel that was against the wall. “This took me quite some time to figure out. Granted… it wasn’t as though I didn’t know to do it already. But, to do so in such a way that it didn’t fracture the dimension carelessly – that, my dear, could only have been achieved through ingeniously careful hands, a feat that separates the Eggmice from the Eggmen!” He began pressing some of the switches upon the panel, and the room began to hum, as if it were slowly revving an engine of a car. And then, grasping the blood red handle of a heavy-duty lever on the control panel, Dr. Eggman Nega vigorously threw it down with a resounding CRANK. There was an explosion of sound and colour as the pod roared to life, covering the room with an immense light that illuminated everything in its surroundings. Nega glanced back towards the pod with a knowing grin as another explosive noise rocked the control room, before everything suddenly fell quiet, only the soft sound of that familiar hum remaining. From within, a swirling vortex of dark blues and purple hues pulsated behind the glass, with the occasional flicker of electricity that shot out from the core at random. “This… will send you to a random point within Gaia. It’s so wonderfully unpredictable – even I have no idea where exactly you’ll turn up.” He smiled to Maze, crossing his arms as he furrowed his brow. “You’ll be able to take that Emerald with you when you enter the portal. As for the others… One is currently powering this very device, and, well… ultimately, I’ll have to send that one, just like the rest, but this is why I also have it currently stockpiling extra energy into a nearby reactor on the side! That way, I’ll be able to use a burst of energy to open this portal for one last time in order to chuck the final Emerald into the next dimension! And, after that… well.” An ominous glint reflected off the frames of his glasses as he lowered his gaze ever so slightly. “Then it gets fun.”

Heavy footfalls sent metallic ringing out through the lab as soon as Nega finished his little speech. “I still say it’s a waste. The Sol emeralds can do plenty an’ you just wanna toss ‘em around that other world.” There was a flicker, a burst of grey cubic particles streaming from atop the machine Nega had been so proudly displaying down to the sleek floor panelling. In the blink of an eye the form of a green hedgehog in a black leather vest appeared, a smug toothy grin plastered across his face. “Whatever though, not my problem. &%$# that other world, long as I get mine.”

It was at that point that Scourge would find the wind getting crushed out of his lungs. "HIIII PUDDSY~" Maze sang as she squeezed the hedgehog in her mechanical arms. "Don't you worry about a thing, Neggy knows exactly what he's doing~"

Scourge felt the vice grip entrap his arms against his body, the pressure on his chest, forcing a panicked gasp from him as his breath was stolen away. He felt his feet leave the ground as the demented metallix bear hugged him. His legs spun about in blind furious attempts to escape as the green hedgehog snarled over his shoulder. “What the hell?! Let go of me you psychotic friggin’ can opener!” Any sense of intimidation utterly evaporated as his voice was a high pitched wheeze, struggling for air. The grey cubic particles began to emanate from Scourge again as he tried to “Glitch” his way free. Q8EMMe2y

pJS1Bqrgp_With the space around her arms now empty and her distribution of weight now shifting as a result, the robo-feline's footing slipped out from under her and she toppled to the ground with a loud clang. Her eyes flickered and she looked up at Scourge with a pout. "Aww, that was mean!"

“Play nice, kiddies – I can only repair one of you, after all. The other, well… I could certainly try, at the very least, but I don’t think you would really like that, ho ho ho…” Capping the statement off with a sick grin beneath his snow-white mustache, Nega turned back around to the nearby control panel, and began entering additional input into the multi-coloured console. Without checking to see if Scourge was even paying attention, the doctor continued to speak. “To answer your previous statement, my dear boy… You are right - I could do this, or I could do that… I could opt for what is obviously the clear-cut, ham-fisted solution… However, there are reasons for everything, you know… You just aren’t grasping the bigger picture in this situation! But, it’s nothing against you, you know – your own brain matter is simply not… ahrm. … up to task as mine is. But, not to fret - the understanding only needs to be done by me, after all, and nothing more than that will be required. Just follow my little instructions, my valuable blueprints and How-To’s, and everything will end precisely how I say it will.” There was the sound of a compartment hatch opening as Nega seemed to procure something from within, before he spun around once more to face Scourge and chuck a Yellow Sol Emerald in his general direction. He once again flashed that ominous smile as he adjusted his glasses upon his face. “Just dot your I’s, and cross your T’s… But take great care not to cross me. I… am certain that you understand, yes?”

The emerald landed in Scourge’s hand as he glared over the rim of his sunglasses at the doctor. “You callin’ me stupid for pointing out the obvious, Doc? Yeah I can’t see the Biiiiig picture.” the green hedgehog wiggled his fingers, putting on an overly boisterous mocking tone, “Maybe cause you like to keep your plans to yourself.” He began idly tossing the emerald in his hand into the air and catching it again as Nega not so subtly threatened him, prompting a sharp-toothed grin. “Yeah, yeah...Just so long as you keep yer end of the bargain.” Truthfully Nega did unsettle him. He knew the white haired scientist couldn’t be trusted but...he had the power to give Scourge what he wanted; revenge and a place on top of the heap. As long as he got those, he didn’t care what happened.

"Neggy knows what he's doing," Maze asserted with a confident bob of her head. "Too many cooks spoil the broth, we just need to stick to our areas of the kitchen" the feline metallix's bright eyes settled back on Nega with a purr. "Right Neggy?"

"Ha ha.. Right you are, my dear..!" A white gloved hand rubbed the robot's sleek forehead as its creator commended its commentary. "You see, Scourge - this one gets it. Alas, such familiarity only comes with time, but... I daresay, you play your part, then you'll soon fit right in and truly understand how everything works around here. I'm certain you'll get the hang of it in time..." Not usually one to shy away from an opportunity to continue a condescending conversation, the doctor realized that there were currently other priorities that needed his attention. Enough time had passed - to wait much longer would be foolish, and unnecessary. He swiveled his chair to face the sprawling control panel behind him once more, and got back to work. "Now, I would love to continue our little discussion all day, but, I am afraid break time is over – We’ve got work to do, children.” CRACK.It was as if a wayward bolt of lightning had crashed into the room. A multicolored light was bursting from within the pill-shaped pod at the center, its glassy doorway opening slowly after a short wait. A gentle fog poured out from the opening, and Nega turned to face his underlings with a widening grin upon his features. The light reflected off of his frames as he turned his head toward the menacing-looking pod. “Originally, my blueprints dictated only one transport at a time, but…” There was a terrible little glint in those glasses as he looked back toward Maze and Scourge. “I think it would be a little more fun to try two at a time instead. It should work! Seeing if it does, though, would still be exciting enough on its own. Wouldn’t you say?”

The green hedgehog did a double-take at the grinning scientist’s suggestion. He knew Nega was twisted but how blatantly callous he was, was somewhat chilling. Scourge scoffed and stepped up behind Maze, winding his foot back to attempt to kick her into the pod. “Yeah, *&%$ that! Send her through first. I’m a hedgehog, not a guinea pig.” aq|fDjbH

aH5xEAXxp_"YEEP!" was the only sound Maze made as the hedgehog's foot connected to her backside. Tettering forward into the pod, she twisted around, attempting to wrap her tail around Scourge's leg and drag him inside with her. p_·

1P7gbmum“WHAT THE F-“ Scourge cried out in panic as he too was dragged into the rainbow colored mist. His hands desperately grabbing at the rim of the glassy tube’s entrance for purchase and failing. The pair vanished into the capsule with Scourge’s terrified screams flooding out into Nega’s lab.

Dr. Eggman Nega watched with a transfixed fascination behind his blue-tinted glasses, the rims glistening in reflection of the multi-coloured light show going on as his subordinates hurled into the depths of his dimensional transporter. Static and noise filled the room as the device flashed with one more explosion of colour before suddenly growing dim, the once-vibrant portal eventually shrinking down to the size of a simple coin, until it finally popped out of existence once more. The pod, once the noisiest machine in the room, now lay still, and quiet, a final hum permeating the room until it lowered down to but a whisper. The doctor silently stood up from his seat, and gave himself a hearty golfer’s clap, that infamous grin stretching from ear to ear beneath that snowy mustache. “ Ahhh what a show, what a show! My.. they just don’t make them like these anymore… How fortunate for me that I am capable of such magic.” A hearty laugh bellowed out from within, as he began to make his exit. … The door shut firmly behind him as he strolled back out into the dismal hallway from whence they had originally came, and Nega took a deep breath as he began to plot out the next course of action. “In any case… The next phase will begin shortly. I’ll need to get back to my main station so I can monitor whenever those two brave soldiers make their inevitable landing…” Raising his hand towards his face, the doctor gazed upon his wrist, eying what appeared to be a little watch, ticking away with little graphs and bars that seemed to display the current ‘HEALTH’ status of his Gaia-bound employees… “Or, you know… their inevitable demise. We’ll see soon enough, I suppose! That’s part of the fun, after all.” With that, the doctor began his trek back down the hallway to the main elevator. Sooner or later… the next phase would kick into gear, and then… Everything will suddenly become very entertaining.
