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.
I see, I see. Rapid implementation going at top speeds, I assume?
[So, improvising. Got it.

I'm just glad you and yours were not hurt, my friend. Hopefully you've had better chance to test the braking without the need for another drastic measure?

Provable, ahhh, that is the reason you do not want me to believe outside opinion. I see, I see.
Maybe I will see what Ashley thinks when I can get myself up off the ground.

Oh, please -- please, we can save that sort of comparison for that monster of a doctor.
Besides, incomprehensible does not mean infallible. Perhaps an immortal still needs to learn to use his brakes.
[He's just teasing at this point. But it feels nice, to have someone to do so with.]

[Like, he's made of metal too, man! Your argument only holds so much!]

...Sometimes those plans make themselves with approximately a half-second of execution time, but that is no less a plan for its rapid implementation.
['I figured, fuck it might as well.']
