...So, any particular reason for why we're back in the Void?
Because if you really think about it, the Void's the perfect training spot. Lots of sparring room, quiet and empty... And since there's no perception of time in here- in addition to expanding across all space and time- we basically have all the time we need to train here.
Oh, cool! Should we share this spot with anyone else?
HA! Letting others use this plane of non-existence to train! What a thought, ha ha ha!
Ha... No. Their minds would eventually snap like twigs. Only beings like us can handle being in the Void for extensive periods of time.
Huh. Explains why Orchestra didn't come... Where is he going to train, though?
Oh, he's smart enough to figure that out on his own.
Ah, by the way, I decided to invite some old friends of mine to join us.
Old friends? Who do you mean by-
Master Missingno.! We came as per your request!
Oh, yeah. Those guys. I was wondering where they were, actually.
...Actually, what happened to them when you died?**
Beats the hell outta me.
...So, wait. What exactly are we doing here?
...With Beta Devil gaining this new form of his... We'll need to make sure we have all cards on the table. And because of that... I need a certain something from here.
It was the BEST! I think I almost died but then Demyx pulled out his sitar, and there was water everywhere, and-
Okay, I think we get the picture.
...I assume Reverse Man's talking about you?
Yep. Just don't ask for a Q&A*, I don't have the time for that.
Konngara told me about idiots like you†!
Like, come on, getting squished because someone screamed like a cowboy too loud? Finding all that fancy shiny stuff just to die‡? I don't even think you're the real Sonic!
It's not about which one of us came first, Mack. It's about which one of us deserves the title.
So you're just proving I'm right, then?
Oh yeah, this guy... He was meant to be the Jazz of the original Discorded Adventures, right?
Yes, he was... But since there was already a Jazz in that universe*, I had to give him a new name...
...Computer. Activate Project: Synth.
PROJECT SYNTH: ONLINE.
...Good evening, Master Phantom.
...Huh. For a robot meant to be a successor to Jazz, I didn't think he'd be so... Polite.
Well, I did convert him into more of a service robot back when Legacy was a thing.
...Don't let such a factor fool you, though; Due to how... busy we became since then, I was never able to remove his combat features. He's still a capable fighter.
Capable of taking on Beta Devil?
...
...I don't know. But I'm willing to give it a shot.








You are attempting to invade Shadaloo territory. Leave at once of be restrained.
Who's the champ? I'm the champ. Who's the champ? I'm the cha--
I'm not taking autographs. Get lost.
Oh, no, we just saw you win that battle royale! That was... a strange win.
What happened there, by the way? I thought you were... normal.
Funny perception of 'normal', kid. I got lucky is all. Perhaps they were all having a bad day.
All other 19 competitors at once?
Of course! After all... They had to face me.
Now, If you'll kindly screw off, I've gotta dodge the paparazzi. Until then.
Hmm! (You won't stop the Boss's master plan! Once you see it, you'll be in for a rude awakening like never before!)
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
(I can't believe it! How could I go out like this? I can't die! I don't wanna!)
Huh? What the heck kinda trinket is this?
...Greedy? What are you callin' greedy? I'm as humble as can be!
WAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT NO I TAKE IT BACK I TAKE IT BA--
...
...Huh.
You would be incorrect in your assumptions. The one known as Ken Masters is long gone to complete a task of his...
All you have done is waste time of yours and ours. And as the CEO of S.I.N... This is something I cannot tolertate.
Are you sure this was a good idea? We could of used them for at least another week.
I assure you, if the entire universe were to know about this, the very Earth itself would be at risk. We did the right thing.
And how are those scientists doing?
They've got three days left. I'm sure they've figured out something.
In any case, we have another problem.
What's that?
...Well...it's nothing much really...it's...
I haven't got all day. Spit it out!
...People see you as a bad guy.
WHAT!
We go to their homes and-
Do they like being enslaved?! Are they incompetent?! America is the perfect example of the perfect government! How on Earth can anyone not see that-
It's not like that. It's-
It's that their ungrateful little snipes. I gave up my life along with over 80 million for a future we would never see! I gave up paradise so that I could supervise the betterment of humanity as well as other species! And I'm the enemy!
Just settle down. It's...clearly because those nazis and communists have warped the minds of the common folk.
Oh. That actually makes sense. But what can be done to fix this?
It's simple: You want the people to love you, then you need to portray yourself as the hero.
Would this work?
...That could work...Alternatively, we could hire someone skilled with marketing.
Okay, who?
I've got a list of people who could potentially do the job. I'm sure I'll find someone in at least...
So how's it going so far?
Absolutely terrible. I'm going to be honest; I probably should of worked on this list more.
Well who did you call?
Who didn't I call? I called U.Air, the head of WWE, the head of UWE, Sears, Blockbuster. Somehow, I even called that one run down fast food place called Rax. Let's just say that wasn't a very...pleasant phone call.
Well don't give up now; how many are still on that list of yours?
One.
Only one left?
...
Well don't give up now. Better waste this one person's time than to waste your time debating with yourself about it.
Hmph... Knowing what sort of trouble you are in only multiplies the parameters of your stupidity.
You have eyes, but cannot see. You have ears, but do not hear. You fail to see the grave danger you are in.
I have nothing to say to something so unworthy of my time. Begone, by the might of the Tandem Engine.
...
Broken-down nobody speaking.
...
...
...I am through with working for you.
Oh, come now. We've had a history together, didn't we?
You promised me power, then twisted my mind.
Your mind was twisted a long time ago.
...Why even resist? Why turn against me? After all...
...I'm the only one who understands you. Right?
...
Hi! This is Primetime Genemi, correct? This is the UKR calling. If you willing, we have a business proposal that might make you millions! Or at the very least billions. We need a PR man and personally believe that due to your experience that you could be of great value. In any rate, we are aware of your...recent misfounture and believe...well I personally believe that this could be a major opportunity for you. If your willing, we could send further details.
Meta Knight...us soldiers have been thinking and we realized that chances are that the UKR won't exactly be waiting with welcome arms. As such, I would like to make a proposal: Since you along with others have helped us, we would like to work as members of your crew. The way we see it, it would still help our goal of making the universe a better place. If not, we completely understand.
