The ring deposits you all safely outside the base and seals up afterwards. Neo Metal Sonic doesn't chase after you, which is something of a mercy.
What's significantly less of a mercy is the sky - it's gone dark and ominously stormy, though the clouds spark not with lightning, but with that same green Chaos Energy you've been facing this entire fight. Worse still, there are now far, far too many robotic planes filling the sky - the Egg Fleet seems to go on endlessly, as far as you can see. Though perhaps it would be more accurate to call it the Neo Metal Sonic Fleet.
Sonic and friends arrive shortly, looking pretty banged up but otherwise still healthy enough to make it here, though they stare up at the sky with obvious concern.
"O...kay, this is definitely not what any of us were expecting."
"We will have to take the fight to them, it seems."
"Easier said than done, I'm afraid... I'm not sure how to pinpoint their leader's exact location to send you all with a ring..."
A jolt of green lightning flashes across the sky and Neo Metal Sonic's voice rings out.
"I expect to see you onboard my fleet in one week's time. That includes you, my loathsome copy."
It seems you don't really have much of a choice. For now, tend to your wounds and try to regroup; you've earned a break after today.
We'll be just fine no matter where you guys end up, but you all are always welcome to come visit. Even if this place isn't home for you guys, I hope you all have at least kind of enjoyed your time here. Though it'll be much better once the world's back to running as usual without Eggman's... well, Neo's influence.
In truth, I certainly have. It's...even with the robots here, this has been more than anything I have experienced at home in the slightest. I found one of those shopping labyrinths the first week we came here, and seeing one of those was quite eyeopening, even when I got lost.
It's...really proof that humans can do amazing things, when they aren't under pressure, isn't it? It makes me wonder what other things this world has to offer, all be told. It's a little overwhelming...
And this is just one city in country full of really cool cities and places to see - not to mention the world at large! Sonic and I did a little traveling, but there's still so much I want to see... So you'll have to come visit so we can go sight-seeing together, Dorothy!
