You hop through the ring portals, barely escaping Eggman's forces and making it through (mostly) unscathed. On the plus side, you're all here - in fact, you'll find Tails and Vakama nearby, with the fox having brought your pal here too.
But unfortunately, "here" is not exactly the best place to be.
"Back here again...? Sheesh, I really can't catch a break.
"What is this place, Sonic?"
"This is the space between worlds. The void, I guess you could call it."
Everywhere you look there's a whole lot of nothing. Gemstone-like shards litter this reality in all sorts of shapes and sizes, serving as obstacles or platforms; they're sturdy enough to walk and stand on, but this world's rules are a little different from what you're used to. For one, gravity doesn't really work properly - you may find yourself floating or walking upside-down on a shard you didn't mean to end up on, and it's going to take some getting used to.
There's not really much to do or see here either - at least, not for now. You're welcome to explore this strange place, but you won't find anything particularly interesting... with one notable exception as seen in the comment below.
No matter where you go, no matter what you do, you'll feel like you're being watched.
It is not yet impossible. If I could be defeated, so can he.
[His hands paused for just a second as he thought, before he kept working with concentration written on his face.]
...It may have been Jayce that truly stopped me, but there was someone else who bought him the time. Someone with an imposible power that matched my own and caused an explosive chain reaction.
And now y'have a choice to be makin', yeah? Fuck off on your own, an' end up in a bad situation again, or join up with us. Can't be an ass here, mind, but I know which one I'd pick.
[ mafuyu's probably drowning in coats by now but she's now getting a scarf and gloves courtesy of sunday, because girl that frostbite is kind of some cause for alarm especially on the extremities, but: ]
[He was busy dodging Arven's knife, so he didn't quite see if Mafuyu killed her own illusion and broke down in the aftermath, or if someone else took it out for her. Either way, though - Turo wasn't strong enough to do it at all.]
[So he can't do much for her in the way of offering repairs... he can't even offer her any snacks for whatever soul-healing that would be able to do. But. She went hard for everyone, she's a fucking mess (they're all a fucking mess-)...
And her heart's out.
That, at least, he can maybe do a little bit about.]
Lady Dorothy, if it isn't too forward a'me to offer-
[He's already shrugged off his jacket, so he holds it out to her. One sleeve is barely hanging on, and it's so much bloodier than he'd like an offering like this to be, but... it's not like he can do any better right now.]
Seems t'me like it might be a mite uncomfortable t'have your chest open like that. Can't do anything t'help fix it, me, but...
[Turo's upset by what happened and honestly a bit afraid of Infinite as a result, even knowing that his powers are gone. But...the way that Dr. Robotnik spoke to him...Professor Turo never would have said those things. He took himself too seriously to have behaved quite that clownishly. But the tone. He recognized that tone. Eventually, he wanders over to Infinite.
It's a bad idea, really. He doesn't even know how to talk to people who are friendly towards him.]
...how did you meet him?
[He was made for such a circumstance. But of course a person would not have been.]
