Eggman's robot stands unmoving just outside of the city limits. It has caused a lot of destruction in its wake, and the area where it has come to rest has been warped by Eggman's trademark chroma. Worse still, the various robots composing Eggman's army are concentrated here, meaning that trying to find a way in is going to be exceptionally difficult.
Your colorful allies tell you as much, but Sonic doesn't seem worried in the slightest.
"The three of us will keep 'em distracted. Egghead wants a piece of me, so the three of us will fight the robots."
"We'll send you guys in with a ring to hopefully catch him off-guard. If what we've theorized is correct, you should be able to literally knock the Master Emerald out of him, and once you have that, he shouldn't be much of a threat."
"Best of luck, warriors."
The plan is straightforward and simple enough, and your friends take off once everyone's ready to go. They've left you with two rings - one to get in, and one to get out. When you're all prepared, step inside.
Welcome to Eggman's control room. Bathed in black and green light, the inside of the robot's head is composed of three sections: a smooth circular outer wall that is sloped and would be difficult (but not impossible) to stand on, a circular platform in the center (far larger than the picture for the purposes of this fight), and an alcove built into the wall that houses a man and several high-tech devices. The man does not look up from the screens he's watching as you enter.
Eggman, on the other hand, is already aware of your presence.
"Here come the would-be heroes. Did you really think marching in here was a bright idea? In case you've forgotten, I hold all the power here."
Green lightning-like energy sparks around him and to him as he speaks, and Eggman kicks off the platform to move to float in the air - high enough up that it would be a pain to try to reach him without hoverboards. Of course, you do still have those...
"You all aren't who I'm after. Stone, take care of them."
He flicks a finger in the direction of the other human present in the control room who jolts a bit in response before furiously tapping away at the keyboard on the control panel in front of him. Eggman simply turns his attention away from you all, to focus back on Sonic and friends who are currently in the process of wrecking his robots. Occasionally he does something and the entire robot shifts - moving to punch or aim attacks at Sonic and friends with said robot which will cause the whole of the robot to move - mind your footing!
[ LOOKS INTO THE MIRROR ABOUT THEIR NIGHTMARE FROM WK 3.
you keep telling yourself that & actually because of nothing coming from dorothy's call to arms at the moment—wolfwood's going to use sock them in the face thanks to the bit of help from turo trapping them in place. ]
Ya really wanna follow this asshole? I got a list of better assholes if you need someone new to tell ya want to do.
[ They can't do anything about getting hit in the face so they don't bother to try turning their head away. They seem somehow as amused about the action as they would normally...
Except, something in their gaze is just not right. ]
Who else but he would I follow? Do you really think you can have me abandon my purpose with such meaningless words?
[ it's never a good time when someone looks at you the way that they do. wolfwood has had plenty experiences with people looking at him like this while he's been here and it's getting old. ]
Yeah, actually. I betcha could abandon him for a far less—maybe for somethin' like a corn chip.
[ look, i had to make the joke, but also given what he also remembers of that particular person... ]
[ wolfwood won't ask for thanks and he also won't rub it into their face. if anything it's just something he's going to file away and keep in mind with how things are going to play on out. ]
Yer tellin' me. Can't believe that ya let that happened.

It's probably fine. Nothing is wrong.

Or, at least, someone better to look at.
1/2
[ There's a moment of pause and they look between Turo and then Wolfwood. ]
2/2
Maybe it's being weighed down and then hit and something completely illogical. But it jostles the programming just enough... ]
...ridiculous...
[ They don't laugh, though. It's hard to do exactly that for many reasons. But, they are back to normal thanks to two people here. ]
