The future of hydrocity then changed for the better... Duo somehow gets warped into the good future... Duo: Ugh...again? Woah! Look at everything! Its so colorful... filled with water... and some chipper music is playing as well...neat. The music is from the game locoroco... trust me it's sort of charming.

[Satam Robotnik: Lucky for me... I won't tell how I managed to pull the whole, "badniks and robot generators on angel island", solution.]{mystery} Duo then found the source of the signal... a silver machine with bolts of electricity comnig out... creating... badniks! Duo: This machine shouldn't be here! Duo then broke the robot generator! Causing any and all hidden badniks destroyed in the process... [Satam Robotnik: Grr... I should have known!]{mystery}

(OOC: Oh... whoops.)
Duo then wandered present hydrocity zone... until he saw another past sign... Duo: Oh this isn't good... Duo then walked up to the sign... PAST Duo went into the ancient past for hydrocity... Duo: Oh not again...huh? Duo then found... a signal from a machine? He then followed the signal to where it leads... a hidden camera then watches Duo follow that signal... [Satam Robotnik: So he's slowly figuring out the reason for this bad future existing, eh? No matter... I still have loopholes and such to exploit...]{mystery} Wait... how did he pull this off?

(OOC: Well lets just say I have a... plot in mind, during Duo's journey to the alter. Also everyone walked into a bad future version of hydrocity zone, so... yeah. That.)

Duo then got curious... he touched the sign and... PAST Duo then got thrown into the present Hydrocity zone, complete with water! Duo: Oh my head... huh?! Where did I go?! Duo then noticed that the sign was gone... and that the water was back. Duo: Whats happening? The Reapers Trance ended... and Duo looked like his current self again...

When Duo entered hydrocity... the water was... gone? Duo: What the... what happened here? He then saw a strange sign that said, "past" Duo: Hightower... could you give an explanation for what happened, and why this strange sign is here? Hightower: No idea dude. So your on your own...

Duo's team then went searching for a proper enterance for hydrocity zone for a quick route... Duo: This should bring back plenty of memories, right you three?

Duo: Alright... altar finding time... Duo's team then went a jouney to find the master emerald alter... also space core did NOT meet with the other shard holders... so yeah... they'll be on a hunt for him soon.

Duo: On it my good man. Duo then warped everyone in both his and anthems team minus moronicule and Shadow Mewtwo to angel island. (Hopefully Shadow Free.) Justice Warp: Allows any host of hightower to warp anywhere once per. Arc.

Duo: Oh, we're just keeping our shards safe from this, "moronicule". So I guess we're just doing fine.
Meanwhile with space core: Space Core: Hey, hey Wheatly... guess what...? These lil rock things came from SPACE!

Then a ringtone in Duo's helmet goes off. Duo: Hello, Duo speaking, I currently have 20 shards in my teams possesion, and unless your an ally, go away. Duo has a slight echoe in his voice when using Reapers Trance.

SPoIIOIOIOIIIIIiIiiiiIIIIIIiiIIIiiiin.

[Satam Robotnik: Well heres the thing... most shard holders are like those horrid freedom fighters! And only a few who we can consider allies... your nemesis has a few of these shards as well... meaning, if he fnds out about you... he could potentially harm your precious child...do you WANT him to harm your child? No. You wouldn't. And I shall try and make a promise to not harm your son after that...little incident... do we have an agreement?]{mystery}

Satam Robotnik then spoke through Sonmetal! [Satam Robotnik: Hello Von Koopastein... you might be wondering why I am here watching you... simple you possible simp! I am interested in these... master emerald shards... so I'll cut to the chase... if you make an alliance with me... i'll give you access to a third of my currently in-production sawtbot 3's... and a half the world of your choice, what do you say?]{mystery} Satam Robotnik is proposing an alliance to Koopastien!

Dub Eggman: Ugh... 42 get us out... Metallix 42: On it. The two then left him and Cluck behind... [???: Oh it figures... luckly for me...]{mystery} The pod teleported out of there! [???: I have methods of control...]{mystery} Then a camera hidden very well in Sonmetal's head turns on!

[???: Oh your clever! Just like me as well! But I am almost always one... step...ahead...]{mystery} Then all the koopa's eyes turned red... holding all 3 at gunpoint... with artillery not even Koopa Kid's father could make! [???: Its such a shame too... I would have LOVED to work with you... letting you do things your father wouldn't let you! Allowing you to play and buy as many games as you want! But it appears I have to use a new prototype weapon against you...]{mystery}
