FINAL CONFRONTATION
Throughout this week, you all have been hard at work preparing for your final confrontation with the person behind all of this - Neo Metal Sonic. His fleet of ships has taken over the skies, and Tails has been working on a means to get you safely onto the correct one. Given that you've all been called into the workshop today, it seems like it's finally time.
"I've got the correct coordinates and we're ready to go. We'll all be joining you in this fight."
Sonic nods and continues, "Let's avoid a repeat of last time, yeah? I'm still going to try to keep his attention on me since the plan is still the same - you guys have gotta knock the Master Emerald outta him!"
"You all have had some practice with your powers and with what the Master Emerald can do, so you should be better prepared for this fight. Still, remain on guard!"
Tails flicks the device to life and a portal opens. Unlike the rings, this one doesn't show where exactly you'll be going. "Everyone ready? Let's put an end to this."
You arrive in the interior of one of those ships - the long hallway you're in is made of thick, dark silver steel, with absolutely nothing in the way of dΓ©cor. The way behind you leads to a door - gated shut, with seemingly no way to open it from this side - while the path ahead of you leads up a small flight of stairs to what can only be described as a throne. It is simplistic in design and still made of that dark, practical steel without any adornments or embellishments, but it provides Neo Metal Sonic a height advantage to loom over you, something he couldn't really manage on most of you without taking to floating.
He sits in the chair now, red eyes fixed on all of you. One elbow is propped on the arm of the chair and his chin leans against his hand, giving off the air of "bored monarch" that he's probably going for.
"So you've arrived. You've kept me waiting."
He gets up then, rising to float as he had before, sparks of that familiar green Chaos Energy flaring to life around him. "Let's not waste any more time. I'll destroy you all here and now. And you," his eyes flick to Sonic, "will trouble me no further."
"Does it even really count when I'm not the version of Sonic you've fought before...?"
"Silence." Sonic shrugs and Neo Metal Sonic dismisses him, turning his attention back to you all. "You all have caused enough problems for me. Once I've crushed you all, nothing will be able to stop me."

[He is Looking, Oscar.]

You're almost makin' that sound like you don't believe me.
[It's teasing, though.]
no subject
[He's calling you out, bb!!]
no subject
But he goes quiet for a moment, his grin getting a little softer.]
... thanks. For helpin' me protect everyone here. An' for...
[... well. He trails off when he gets to that part because what is actually verbalizing one's own emotions? He's still working on that part.]
no subject
Couldn' 'ave done it without you.
[He means it. There were way too many times that someone - either of them, sure, but worse someone else probably wouldn't have made it without one or both of them stepping in. It was a team effort!
But that trailing off... Yeah, we're still not great at verbalizing our own emotions here, either, so he'll just. Take Oscar's hand instead.]
no subject
He gives that hand a squeeze... and then just tugs Basilio in for a kiss, capturing him there by sliding his other hand up to run it through that soft hair. He may not be able to SAY what he's feeling right now, but he can sure demonstrate it in a way that leaves absolutely no room for any sort of misinterpretation.]
