So. That could have gone better!

With Mecha Sonic, Robo Knuckles, and Tails Doll defeated, you've successfully kept Chicago safe, and dealt a blow to Eggman's forces. Still, there's a lot that's left unexplained. Who was that mysterious voice? Why did these robots look so different from the ones you've seen before now? Why didn't Sonic and friends recognize them? There's no answers to your questions today, unfortunately.

You'll be escorted home by the trio after everyone's picked themselves up, healed off the damage, and had a moment to recover. Feel free to play out the immediate aftermath and/or the return to the base in this post!

Rest and regroup; you've earned a break.

[i look directly at vakama......]

I am, ja. I wasn't nearly as battered as most people seem to be.

[theoretically he also got hit by some rocks, but i'm not rolling to see so whatever.]

[He's still on the clock and mobile, smh don't look at him.]

Mm. It was... worse this time, in some ways. We've grown stronger, but it feels our enemy is matching us step for step.

[And with everyone so brutally exhausted, it does vividly remind him of that day in the Coliseum, good intention leading to nothing but hollow victory and scorn.

...]

I just hope the difficult victory doesn't dishearten our number. Especially the little ones.

[scythegun]

True. While I don't know exactly what that first fight was like for them, this one was certainly a step up from last week.

[At least for group A!! We got to kickflip and it was radical. But things were a lot more intense this week...]

I can only imagine it will get even tougher from here on out.

anyway]

Then we'll just need to match that progress, as best as we can.

What I would like to know is how it duplicated what we could do.

[scythegun]

[lol. lmao.]

It copied miss Dorothy's water powers, ja? Did it make use of anyone else's?

[He was a bit scattered during that fight because he's a mod character so he missed it...]

[crosswired]

Yes. My own of telekinesis, and one other besides.

[At least the trip back the way they came is relatively quiet, all things considered, though Vakama's gaze is a bit distracted as they go. No need to get comfortable just because they're chattering.]

I wish I could say it was just ones attacking it, but -- I had a hard enough time staying on my feet with everything that was happening, so I wouldn't be able to say for sure.

[If you are seeing the crush damage to his armor - no you aren't, shut up.]

[scythegun]

[looks at vakama's armor, looks away...]

How curious... It seems things really are going to be more difficult from here on out. Well, those of us trained to fight will do our best, I'm sure.

[Not like we've really got much of a choice here...]

[crosswired]

You've been around the block with that guild of yours, I take it? You seem to know your way around a weapon.

[Whatever that weapon is... really it seems that it's something different everything Vakama turns around. If they weren't in the middle of something important, his curiosity would be getting the better of him.]
