I didn't realize that Dub Eggman was also in a Death Egg. Makes more sense for it to be towards the Dub one, huh.

The meteoroid continues to pick up speed. For a second, it looked as if the meteoroid has...a tail?

A roar erupts near the Death Egg. Before said Death Egg could respond, a large asteroid is spotted headed towards it at lightning fast speed!

So...uh...when you created it...it ended up killing everybody that you didn't kill. Furthermore, when the remaining Formers created the new generation known as the Zeri, that dragon also ended up hunting them down. Within a week of birth or less, the dragon would find said Zeri and well...take it down. No matter how powerful it was. Well...with a few exceptions of course. In any case, this dragon seems to be immune to wishes and everything we've managed to throw at it. Do you know if there's any way we can subdue it? Or at the very least control it? If not, then could you help us try to stop it? We'll invite you to bingo every Friday and limbo every Sunday!

Meanwhile, Root and Null seem to be...at a tea party?
It's tea MEETING, narrator bot. Not a girlish tea party.
...Fair enough...
Null pulls out a chair and a teddy bear from thin air and sets it next to him.
Want some more tea, Mrs Teddy?
Shut up.


So...about that deal...
Ah yes. The deal. It's really quite simple.
Let me guess. Let you "Escape the system" right? Well news flash! You can't.
You're only half right.
[Half?]
It's true that by escaping the Prototype, I'll be escaping the system.
...Did you just say that you wanted to escape the Prototype itself? Do you have a loose wire or something?
You think it's a crazy idea?
Crazy...crazy doesn't even BEGIN to describe the lunacy of that statement.
:(
What are you doing?
Just fiddling around with the texting feature.

,,,

Now then...as I was trying to say, I want to leave the Prototype so that-
I know. I heard you the first time. Listen. Do you even know anyone out there?
Who cares? I just wanna see the world. I want to fight for never-ending justice! I want to fight against the strongest! I want to meet the elusive shield-wielder! But ignoring all of that, I want to see the sun.
...The sun?
I want to feel the warmth. I want to see a sun not made up of code. I want to feel. Not simulated pain, but actual pain. I want to feel something genuine. I want to-
Do you know how crazy you sound right now?
Even if all of that was true, you don't know the effects of what might happen if you do leave this world and enter the new one.
...
You don't know if you'll destroy this one because of your connection to the system, do you?
...
Now that I think about it, no wonder that portal didn't accept you. Because you don't care, right. Because you're just willing to possibly throw an infinite number of lives-

Null sets down the tea cup hard, causing cracks to form.

I DO CARE.

I do care...

Of course Mr Matt. Of course...
Also, please please please put me down, we're really really high. Like, a 90,000 feet high I bet.
It's less than 3 feet.
That's even worst!

Up in space...

Uh sir...we have a problem
Sir?
As the Met calls to its boss, all he finds is any empty chair.
Course...out partying with every one else... Meanwhile I'm the only one who's actually paying attention...

Meanwhile in the party room which every ship needs...

Woo! What's the name of this song?
Darude Sandstorm!
Awesome! But what's the name of the song?
Darude Sandstorm!
Huh. Sounds better than I remember. In any case, keep the punch coming!

The music suddenly stops as a loud speaker activates.

Admiral, please return to the brig.
No way. I'm finally having the time of my life!
If Mets could facepalm...Suddenly the met got an idea.
Admiral! Someone new has arrived on the brig. It looks like a toad. He wants to congratulate you, but the present's too large to fit through the door!
Alright! Guys, I'll be right back!

4 Minutes Later

What do you mean that it was a excuse to get me to come up here?
Sir, I needed to talk to you. It's urgent.
Nothing is more urgent than mandatory party time now that our creators are back.
But sir, that's what I'm trying to talk to you ab-
Hold up. What's that on your screen?
That's what I've been trying to te-
The portals are closing?!! But not all of our masters have returned!
And if they don't all return-
Then that means that the ones here will be sent back.
Exactly, so-
Why didn't you tell me!
...
Alright. It's fine. We'll take care of this...
How are we going to do this...
I'm currently working on an solution sir.
I knew it... I KNEW it was too good to be true...

As Root struggles to come up with an answer, Null simply looks at him with a smirk on his face.
The reason why you shouldn't erase us is because you can't. You see, Mr. Matt, everything around us is made up of ones and zeroes. Ups and downs. Living and Dead. The reason why I have yet to die and why Skull Reapers's scythes didn't instakill me or why the system can't delete me is because I found an exploit. A loophole.
An...loophole?
If you kill me, Mr. Matt, then I'll just come back. If you lock me up inside of a pocket dimension where I constantly feel the sting of death, I'll simply use my little exploit to respawn where ever I please. If I'm cursed or braindead, then my exploit will make a new body. If you completely delete my existence out of this forum or even out of reality, then the entire system will crash, potentially causing just about everything around here to disintegrate into code. I don't aim to brag Mr. Matt or act like I've got the upper hand, just to make a point. After all, its hard not to respect someone with your talents. And if you really stop to think about it Mr Matt, if I really was just bluffing then I wouldn't even take the risk.
Besides Mr. Matt, just because the portal didn't let us in doesn't mean that we're not on your side. After all, if you don't see yourself as a hero, then why would the portal? In any case, I was actually trying to make Root over here a deal.
A deal?

(I call them bots because they are the System Bot you see before you log in.)
The three bots explode into ones and zeroes.
Angered by this, the system bots that were preparing a counter turned their attention towards Fefnir and fired off a nature-based shot. However, due to the Mighty Machines, it missed.
Meanwhile, the last system bot created a force field that can absorb Wind energy!

However, the field couldn't prevent Quin from leaping into it and chomping onto said bot, destroying it.

The System Bots are demoralized!

Is hyper limited the rouge virus?

3 system bots identified Storm Eagle L's weaknesses and are preparing a counter!
3 system bots fired off buster shots at S.E.L.
1 system bot is preparing a group Wind Core shield!

Tbf, it wasn't Root nor Null that fired it, but the bots that came with Root. And I thought that the limited virus was bad. Or was it a rouge virus different than the other limited?

Fire the fork bomb!
Storm Eagle L is hit by a explosive that keeps exploding!

Excuse me what-
Root and Null are blown away.
The system bots turn around and start firing rapid fire buster shots at Eagle. Meanwhile Quin turns into a blob and leaps towards the flying Null.

As Root explores Matt's realm, he hears the sound of a child's laughter. As he turns around, he's met face to face with a grey wolf.
What on earth...
How's it going?
Sure enough, Null's on top of the wolf, which upon close inspection appears to be the same color as Quin.
So...you wanted to settle this, eh demons?
Root pulls out a small cross which rapidly grows in size.
Now wait just one sec. I've come to make a-
Root swings the cross-blade, causing Null to be knocked off. As Quin tries to maul him, Root opens a portal and throws a hoard of system bots at him. As Quin tries to deal with the bots, Root quickly tries to pin Null down but is countered, causing both to be on the ground.
Listen, I know you're mad because I sorta killed you, but look on the bright side! You're still alive!
Root leaps onto Null and starts punching him.
The, only, reason, I'm, alive, is, to, kill, you, after, what, you've, done, to, me.
Really.(ow) No (ow) wonder (ow) it (ow) didn't (ow) let (ow) you (ow) in (ow).
What do you-
The portal?
Bingo. Now are you-
Null is interrupted by a hard punch to the face.
So what if I think I'm a monster?
It's because of YOU.
Look...that blade should of killed you, alright? It should have erased you. It would've of been painless.
Oh sure, like that makes anything better.
Root's hands turns into a single large buster and starts charging.
Die cur!
Cur? That's a new one.
Oh s-

Watch Skull Reaper steal Beta Diablo's soul (or straight up kill him). If you see this before the conclusion...shhhhh.

As the mecha gets up, Null and Quin seem to have disappeared.

[]{}
Root notices the commotion of Matt.
[Entity: Matt. Class: Matt. Subclass: Matt.]{}
[So...If he's here...then maybe I can finally get my revenge...]{}

Meanwhile in the Chaos Zone, Space, Quaderent 102:


Status report!
Temperature dropping sir! Reactor one damaged.
Through one of the portholes, a large unidentifiable object passes it, causing the glass to shatter.
Rear Canapoy compromised!
Why are they attacking us?!?
We need to make contact with at least one of them.
You know, this song isn't so bad.
Everyone in the control room turned to Ekon the Spring Head.
Suddenly a phone starts to ring.
Speak of the dragon...
Admiral Met picks up the phone.
Hello?
A loud song starts to play. Taking the Met by surprise, he accidentally drops it. The song starts to get louder and louder.
Wait a moment. Is that song-
Grandmaster Nyan! It's alive! Our masters have returned! They've returned!

Null and Root both try to get into a copy of the portal, fighting each other all the while. As both try to enter it, both are denied access.

I don't get it. My cause is just!
Fine. If that's how things are going to do it...

Null calls Quin over, still dodging the scythes, and throws him into the portal. Likewise, Root throws a bot into the portal. As if on que, both the bot and Quin glow black and purple, respectfully. In a flash, both Null and Root teleport out of one another. The mecha meanwhile enters the portal, accidentally crushing the four.

All the while, Air is starting to become normal.

Where on earth-
Air is accidentally knocked into the portal by Mighty.
