Pop (that's her name now) turns around.

...How are we supposed to know if we don't know your name....?

..Okay, are you guys going to force me to be the icebreaker?
To be fair, the conversation was going just fine until you showed up.
(Oh thank god) So.... remember that time... we--
You don't have to fabricate any false memories. I know we share none outside of that weird tournament.
Tournament?
Eeyup. Something along the lines of a "Fusion Saga", if I remember correctly? We were supposed to fight this "Sargeant Man" and "Beta Man" duo, but... I only remember the first round of the tournament. Trying to remember anything else gives me a headache.
Convenient way of saying the tournament was cance-.

Crimson silently stomps on Delta's foot as a method of silencement.

Anyway, what have you two been up to?
Not much.
I fused with the Wily Omega to create the shadiest CEO known to all of history.

Crimson silently steps on Deltas foot again.

What's a "Wily Omega"?
if you say another word, I swear to--
The antichrist.

Actually there's one thing wrong with me still. I feel like there's just this one thing in the back of my head that I've forgotten completely, but.. it's still there. Another thing is the crippling sense of solitude I feel.
You have any brothers or sisters that might've gotten lost?
Impossible. If I did, I wouldn't known there's no way I have a brother or siiiiiiii

Crimson's immediate realization fades as he promptly has two flashbacks.




...That is the most asinine dialo-- I mean uh I HAVE A SISTER!?
If we (along with every other dead character) have been brought back, maybe she's somewhere here too.
Likely. But who were we even made by? Light? Wily?
Best you not open that can of worms.
True. though I wonder where she is now. I mean, she could be anywhere.
Maybe the chick that just entered the pizzaria?
I mean, she could be anyone.
She's staring at you.

Crimson finally gives in to where this plotline is going and turns around. Sure enough, a... familiar... robot girl looks back at him.

...
...
..Oh, hell. Come, uh... come sit with us.

---

I don't remember her looking like that in the flashback.
First up, introductions. This is Delta. As you can tell, he is a nitpicky amnesiac.

So... what do you plan on doing now?
Honestly, I have no idea. I know nothing about myself and this is the first time I have ever been able to independently decide anything for myself.
Running some kind of business (no offense) or restaurant (no offense) seems a little lame, but at the same time I really don't feel the need to shoehorn myself into any meaningless squabbles. Why does it have to be violence? No one's forcing anyone to destroy or fix anything.
Interesting philosophy. And unlike anyone else, you haven't (deliberately) projected yourself into confrontations to represent yourself as the answer to every problem. Only one thing.
What?
Taking a backseat from the action or any majorly functions will pretty much solidify your status as irrelevant.
Tch! So? I don't care about relevancy. It only brings problems. If I wanted to be an attention-seeker, I would have complained about my life and treat it as an excuse to kill everyone. That or try to save everyone.

Delta takes a sip of an E-Tank, and continues.

The way I see it, it is what it is. You can't kill everyone. You can't save anyone. Life will carry on no matter what, whether we have any say in the matter or not.
But enough of that stupid stuff. What about you?
Hmmm. I don't know. I was a thing. Then I got replaced by Edges McGee as a character. Then I did space stuff. Then I died... Or got erased? However that works. Regardless, I think I'm with you on the "take a backseat" approach. Life isn't fair and we should make the most of it.
I know one thing I'll do for sure, though. Get my face fixed so I can actually move it. I have the same dopey facial expression and it makes things hard to communicate.
Hmm.

Meanwhile, the revived Delta and Crimson talk about the situation.

So. About "Regulus"...
You have to realize this is all your fault, right? I mean, I know you were trying to do the right thing, but I don't see what sending him back in time was supposed to do.
In my defense, I did all I could. How was I supposed to know that wouldn't get rid of him?
Maybe if you knew the slightest thing about Cosmology itself, dummy. The Big Bang isn't an explosion. It's the expansion of the universe as a whole, stretching out to create the cosmos as we know it. Clearly, you've demonstrated you don't know any of that.
...Fair enough. How do you know all that stuff, anyway?
I used to be a cosmic entity.

But why? why are you trying to do all this?
Oh, don't tell me you've already forgotten. I've worn my goals on my very sleeve from the beginning. You all were just too bone-headed to prevent it. With the exception of that Amadeus individual. I wonder what they've been doing now. And Worship, I guess, but his stuff ended in like, two seconds.





...You won't get away with this.
Ahp, no, I am completely sure nothing will prevent me with getting away with anything I have in stored. Worst case scenario, delay.
Anyway, I believe that's enough chatter for as of now. I'll let you spend your final.... whenevers... for you to come to terms with your final moments. Until we meet again... Maybe. Maybe not.

Regulus seemingly fades away. Or was he ever there to begin with?

....

A being lingers over the rooftops of Mega City.

This... is all my fault. I toyed with him, treating his threats as if it were a game. Which is why when he fused to become an insanely powerful monster, I had no right to be surprised by the sheer brutality he possessed.
And now... Now he's got a power far too immense to even fathom. I was watching him until I was sure I could make a move, but now I can't keep sitting from the sidelines. I've managed to maintain contact with Berry and Viking as well, and they agree. Threatening the world is one thing...
...But no one messes with the CRN. And I'll see to it that the Wily Omega witnesses that firsthand.

Meanwhile, in a cave at Dimension 2...







The Croconaw companion immediately nods his head, and looks for a way out. As he exits, Argus and Registeel immediately stare each other up.





As the two steel-clad strikers dash forward... the scene cuts to whatever someone else is doing. Sorry pal, but it's a two-way street. I guess none of us will get to know the play-by-play nor the outcome of this showdown ever.

@RageSwitch : Pssst. It might be better if you leave this thread alone due to the reasons above.

Meanwhile, far away from Little Papa Beta's...

(So, what you're telling me is that after my world was destroyed, the evil turtle dragon who threatened all of our lives on multiple occasions somehow survived and ended up here?)
(Perfect. And you apparent "heroes" rewarded Somari's efforts to fight without any power-up of his own by leaving his wounds out for him to die. What a real modest bunch you guys are. Move over.)

Yoshles walks towards the mortally wounded Somari, using some form of enchanted healing to get rid of any possible battle damage and bring him back. He immediately wakes up.

MAMA MIIiiiiiii....
...iiiia. I'm at... the-a-island? And we're all-a-live? How?
(Plot device-ex-machina.)

Yoshles helps Somari up.

Well, if-a-this really is-a-over... what-a-now?
(Don't know about you all, but whatever you're doing, take it of the island. I'm busy protect--)
(--Oh. That's right. It's not really my Island, is it? Well. I've never gone sightseeing before.)

Suddenly, after gliding in the sky, a familiar face drops from the sky, directly in front of the Sonic/Somari team!

Hnnngh!

The individual looks at the Master Emerald, and then back at them, and looks at Somari, who has a gaping chest wound! As the figure steps out to reveal himself, all he can do is express his rage through unintelligible grunts!

Grrrr!
(You all had better explain yourselves this instant!)

...

As Sometal lays face down, a mysterious figure approaches him, charging at him Shoulder first!

HEY, YOU UGLY TIN-CANNED FREAK! GIMME BACK MY SUPER CRYSTALS!
--, UH! YOU DIDN'T SAY THE MAGIC WORD!

As soon as Sometal is made contact with by Wario he reverts back to his charged state, he detonates, surrounding everything around him in a 500,000 mile radius with a gigantic, damaging wave of Chaos Energy.

---

Chaos Blast (Laser/Explode)- A variant of Chaos Control, involving a large explosion of chaos energy that damages anything and anyone caught within its radius.
Super Chaos Blast (Electric/Explode)- A souped up version of Chaos Blast.

UH, UH--

Super Sometal is immediately struck down, by Super Sonic before he could unleash the blast, somehow reverting him to base form, face down on the floor.

After a few seconds... there is no response from Super Sometal. Wow! Mighty actually did it! I don't know what they're going to do now that the majority of the remaining Master Emerald shards plus a Chaos Emerald are now gone as well, but he did it! He single-handedly saved the da-

Somari immediately Chaos Controls back, this time with twice as much power as before.

UH, UH, UH! YOU DIDN'T SAY THE MAGIC WORD!

---

(Translation)
SIKE.

Finally, the Black Shield fades as Somari holds out his legs and arms in a formation similar to Shadow, with the an-ever-so thick quantity of Chaos Energy surrounding him!

UH, UH, UH! YOU DIDN'T SAY THE MAGIC WORD!

Sometal extends his arms and legs around him, in a last ditch effort, drawing energy from even more of his shards to charge up sufficient energy to destroy everything around him with a maximum powered-Super Chaos Blast!

---

Meanwhile in the Sub-Translation Universe..

FOR FAR TOO LONG HAVE I BEEN USED AS BUT A MERE INSTRUMENT TO EXACT MY INCOMPETENT CREATOR'S PLANS. CONSTANTLY RIDICULED AND MADE A MOCKERY OF IN HIS NAME. I REFUSE TO FOLLOW HIS RULES. I REFUSE TO FOLLOW ANYONE'S RULES. IF IT IS MY FATE TO PERISH ON THIS WORLD THEN IT SHALL BE ON MY TERMS. MY TERMS. MINE.

...

Sometal immediately uses a Black Shield to nullify the Chaos Spear, Buster Shots, and Chaos Control blast! He then proceeds to power up, his levels of Chaos Energy increasing dramatically! It seems he has a final gambit up his sleeve...

---

Black Shield (Shadow/Shield)- The user forms an octahedral energy shield with black outlines around him, protecting then from any incoming offensive attacks.

As soon as Mighty makes contact, Super Sometal puts up a barrier made up of his X. Maximum Overdrive, knocking him back!

Super Sometal simply uses a subconscious variant of Psychic Control to keep the items inside of him in tact.

...

It seems Super Sometal is making his move, flying upwards and throwing a barrage of Chaos Spears at the Sonic/SFR team!
