WEEK 4 EVENT






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!"

[ Or not, because Lark has a bigger HP pool and a 17 to pull an Oscar and try to get her out of the way of the explosion. He can cope with being slightly singed.]

( this is not helping the dokis, birdboy-

by which i mean, she's easy to pull and is mostly just. guilty? thankful? she's not sure. she's not sure why she's going to be sad when they have to separate, either. )


... T-thank you...

[ A slow thumbs up and an attempt at a reassuring smile. ]

You're welcome.

Will you be okay...?

...Well, I've been through worse.

[ Two older brothers are probably inexplicably sensing a disturbance in the force right now. ]

Ow. I mean, I know that, but better that than someone else having to learn it themselves, you know?

I- I am thankful you helped me. That you've been helping me. But- I don't... want you to get hurt, either, or to disregard it... please.

Mafuyu—!

[ This would be really cool if she could do like. A scissor-sword slice through explosion thing, but that's asking way too much of her. Ashley just tries to tackle Mafuyu out of the brunt of the explosion. Definitely going to be a little crispy from that! ]
