After the 'Power Cloud' attacked the earth and three other worlds, Sonic, Mario & Megaman stayed there on a base in Venezuela during two months, this base was going to be temporally until they found what exactly happened to their respective worlds, but meanwhile on those two months, they were doing heroic stuff (like they usually do) and also answering questions to fans

However after the fight with 'Power Cloud' his omnipresence made not only Tokyo go to ruins but also other cities were covered in the same black mud and destroyed cities, though many people knew that this wasn't the heroes' fault there were still people mad and/or scared around the world. The heroes knew this because there was a reunion room in the base with a TV where a reporter was narrating

"There are still several missing persons and the death toll rises even after two months when the most beloved heroes from the videogames defended the capital of Japan from a mysterious threat, however many people doesn't see it that way, believing that there could be other ways that it could be stopped without too much disaster, some of them are-"

"Are you guys seriously watching this?" interrupted Shadow who was really mad against this news

"Why we shouldn't?" commented Amy "This means we're in trouble"

"Trouble?" continued Shadow "I fought that thing like three times, do you think we could've take him anywhere we want?! Is our fault that he came to this world?! That asshole was omnipresent! And now we're taking care for 2 months on this planet just being celebrities and stopping some robberies"

"And what do you want us to do?" added Roll "Honestly maybe there was other options we didn't considered when we fought it"

"How?" continued Shadow "You know this is stupid. If we weren't here that beast would have consumed the entire planet and their tanks and stuff were not gonna stop it" and with that he leaved the room

The only one who wasn't at that base by the time was Sonic, and holy coincidence but the US government arrived to the base, waiting for the heroes and everyone came out (everyone except for Sonic & Daisy who decide to stay inside)

"Hello heroes" said the US president

"What brings you here general…? You're the general right?" said Megaman who switched to Rock

"Well I guess it's pretty obvious, have you seen the news?"

"Yes we have" answered Tails with a suspicious look

And before the president could continue he was interrupted by Shadow

"I know what you're going to tell. Why we couldn't make the beast fight somewhere else far away from the lives of the innocent, now tell me general, exactly how could that have been made?"

"First, I am the president and Second, I personally don't think there was a way, but no I'm not here to tell you that, it's because… well some people are scared… and they want for you to stay away of the main cities"

"Huh, technically we're still trying to return to our main universes, but it's kinda hard" replied Light

"So two months ago we were stars and now people want us to stay away?" said Luigi confused

"It's kinda hard to explain, but…"

"I know why they're afraid" interrupted Shadow again "We saved a city trying to save this planet I still don't remember its name while the Power Cloud destroyed it, now people believe we did it when we are talking about an omnipresent creature, so a city was destroyed and they don't want that to happen again, and that if we leave that won't happen again, like if wars didn't already do that. I don't care what they think,iIf I could I would leave this planet if they do or not want it"

The president smiled and then said

"Give them a chance to be happy… That's the promise you made"

At this point Shadow shocked but also knew why he said that and without warning he punched the president like 10m away, making the soldiers target and shocking the rest

"Shadow! C'mon stop! You're not helping at all!" said Tails who quickly put himself between Shadow and the army

"And that's what I'm trying to do" Shadow then immediately teleported in thin air

"I guess now you know why are we here" said one of the soldiers

"C'mon we can fix this" said Rockman coming into scene

"Says the one who has a jerky brother?" continued the soldier "And you Tails, Shadow isn't the only one like that, your spikey friend also likes the freedom you know"

Tails and Megaman looked each other with a "they're right" look

"Let's not make this any longer" said the president standing up with some help "We came here to tell you that when a threat is coming, a real threat, you're going to fight only if we allow you, unless you manage to go back to your worlds"

"What?!" some of them shouted and even laughed

"Excuse me president but saving the world is what we do" said Tails "We cannot work for the government, also if you don't let us to go somewhere then that is your fault"

"You're not working for the government… Anyways if you disobey, you're gonna be in trouble. We'll call you, as for now just take care on robberies and assaults"

And with that the helicopters leaved, leaving everyone with something to discuss

"Where did Proto Man go?" asked Rock

"He leaved during the conversation" answered Roll

…

Before we go any further in the story I need to explain the base, otherwise you'll may get confused

It isn't a building but a sub terrain base they all went into a big platform in the middle that works like an elevator, this leads to four different rooms. The first room located in the top left corner was just a big room with –if they wanted or needed it- beds, chest and normal stuff you would find

The second room located in the top right corner was a small lab, made for Light and –sometimes- Tails

The third room located in the down left corner was the reunion room, with a not-so-big throne for Daisy, trying to match the main area of a castle, however a bit modernized 'cause it had a TV for all latest news

The fourth and last room located at the down corner was an techno room, this room along with screens that can help the lab and cameras –these located outside the mountain-

And finally once the elevator-platform reached the bottom of the base it made a track for the planes (technically it's only the Tornado but anyways) leaving the base out of the waterfall
