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.
[ Void Archives does notice he has said nothing on their other words, but the man does seem pleased that he has lent a hand. ]
Not many will necessarily manage as much, so do continue to at least be proud of that.
Among other things, of course.
[ They flash a little knowing smirk, to indicate that their own words were true, though also as further hint that more of that usual part of them has seemingly returned to the surface, but will seem to leave it at that. This is ultimately a moment for them to have obtained some sense of recovery in the midst of what happened - one of which Turo has leant an undeniably pivotal hand in that, which he has taken to heart.

So, naturally, they'll take that as a victory. ]

[Turo smiles. He...actually is proud of that much!]
