Between the mysteries of last weekend, the increasing number of visions and unexplained phenomena, and the attack on Vakama yesterday, everyone is likely on edge. When Tails calls you into his lab around noon, you all are likely already aware of how this is going to go.
Once again, a surge of Chaos Energy in the city is what draws you in, though this time it is a much larger burst than before. Sonic and Knuckles are here with you as usual, with Tails remaining behind to look after Vakama and the base. Unlike before, you aren't met with robots or destruction. In fact, this city block looks remarkably peaceful, aside from where Eggman's chroma has overtaken most of the buildings.
"So good of you all to finally arrive."
The voice comes from up above. You recognize it as the one you heard last week, through that gemstone the Tails Doll had. Perched on one of the buildings is a... fox? No, he's larger than Tails, and wearing a large silver mask that obscures most of his features. In one hand he holds Vakama's missing mask; his other is extended with six gemstones floating around it, a soft teal glow from beneath his black glove marking the seventh. There's a different gemstone on the center of his chest as well, though it doesn't look like the fake Chaos Emeralds you've seen before.
"You all have the pleasure of fighting me, Infinite. I am the Doctor's trusted ally... and I have been watching you all. Your struggles with my nightmares and illusions were so... delicious. You have my thanks for the show."
He kicks off the building, floating towards you all and the ground, though stopping high enough up, still out of reach. And for those of you getting any bright ideas, a deep red begins to fill your vision, tinting the corners of it as the very world itself begins to warp around you - this isn't exactly Chicago anymore, you see. The buildings still exist, wrapped in white chroma, though they bend and twist in ways they shouldn't, making it hard to tell what's real and what isn't.
"I'll snuff out your lives here and now for the Doctor's ambitions! Let's see what you're made of!"
Who do you think was controlling the robots during our last encounter? I could have brought an entire army - but I have no need of all of that to crush you.
[this adds exactly nothing to the fight but he sure is here. yapping.]
[Well. Raven talked shit and now he's getting hit (3). The rock hits him dangerously close to a sensitive area in his chest and he immediately goes down to his knees.]
[Rio neatly dodges the rocks (17) and, seeing Viktor take aim at it, tries firing off an especially concentrated laser at Zavok in hopes that perhaps enough firepower can disrupt the thing enough to give them all some reprieve.]
[ Lark gets freed from time stop only to be greeted by flying concrete, and he decides not today, asshole.
He ducks with almost uncanny timing (20), and immediately fires blasts from his gem at Shadow and Chaos, with the energy for someone internally going stop these time shenanigans on people I care for and fuck off from my big bro.]
[ fortunately for everyone (and for wolfwood), he manages to dodge out of the way of the rocks. a small blessing from hanging out in the background and playing it safe—which cannot be said the same for everyone else. it might be a little awkward and he's going to try to do this before drawing attention from infinite or shadow OR REALLY OF THE OTHERS....
but get healed more, basilio, and joker (moderate). please guys... your rolls ]
[Turo's also down, his chest dented oddly and his clothing starting to smoke, but he's doing better - he'll try to help her up, or at least pull her back.]
