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!
They are not entirely certain if Jasper saw them staring out into the distance because they didn't see where the man got attacked again because of the nightmare, but even if they feel their pride twitch at being entrapped so thoroughly, the concern is quite appreciated.
So, instead of tensing up, they sigh a little; they watch as he pulls himself up but watch in case he needs any steadying. ]
...Ah, yes. Unfortunately, I was for a time uncertain what was happening on the other end due to that wretched enemy seeing fit to drag myself into one of those unfortunate nightmarescapes.
[ And then they saw everyone looking lifeless...fun. ]
I do hope you were able to get some proper usage of the ability despite all of that. And that the healing has adequately soothed your wounds.
Of course whoever that was had to get one last one in before we were done. There are those out there who really have no idea when to quit...
[like you, jasper]
And yes, fortunately I did. I look forward to using it at some other point where we are less likely to be interrupted by something of that sort--assuming you are not busy with your highly effective healing, that is.
Tsk, tsk...you are quite right about that - as it is a pity when someone does not realize the true futility behind their struggles, hm?
[ Such tenacity isn't always so bad. But at that time a few moments ago?? Absolutely. ]
...Naturally, I shall also certainly accept the compliment where it's due. Well-due praise will truly get you everywhere. [ They look entirely too pleased to hear it, hairflip and all. ] However, I too look forward to the opportunity myself. I hadn't the chance to see how well you could have done with it the first time. Next time, I shall not miss it. And, the enemy will truly hardly know what hit them.
I see no point in denying our enemy's tenacity is something that makes our presence a necessity.
[ Void Archives manages a chuckle - more or less at what Jasper manages to say next. Somewhere between good humor, but also...they seem to consider something, smiling widening just a little. ]
Though, I'm afraid I have already come to appreciate well your quick thinking, Sir Jasper. I observed a good deal of that in the initial fight...although, to be able to observe it once again shall truly be to our combined benefit. After all, I was already quite elated when you had the ingenuity to approach myself for our combination. I shall not be surprised to witness it again, in whatever capacity that may be.
...That being said, I was thinking about something - should we not come up with a name of some kind for the attack? Just for some fun? Ah, something like "Shadow Apocalypse", or perhaps "Twilight of the Fleeting Shade", or maybe somethin else entirely.
[ ...Jasper, what have you just wrought, exactly? Well, if he's not going to do anything but encourage this level of cringe, so naturally they won't stop.
(Yes, they are going to be the full cringe. It's happening.) ]
'Shadow Flash'...
I am not entirely too fussed over the naming, so in the end I shall have to agree. Not only is there a benefit to it being straight to the point, but it sounds straight out of one of those animations.
[ Where everyone is calling out their attacks and all that. Anyway, guess their attack has a name now... ]

[he gives a bit of a shrug...]
Well, I am certain it looked quite impressive, so you will be able to appreciate my quick thinking and enhanced agility sooner rather than later.
[it's fun to be obnoxiously self-aggrandizing, really.]
