"Chaos is Power. Aura is Life. Power is Enriched by the Heart. Life Enriches the Chaos.
Chaos is the Power.
Aura is the Heart."
HGTSV: The following is an insert from Section 16-B: Aura Energy.
"Chaos Energy and Aura Energy work hand in hand to create the foundations of the all universes. The main difference that separates Aura Energy from its Chaos counterpart is that while Chaos Energy creates all of physical reality, Aura Energy creates the souls of everything in the universe. Aura Energy is what allows objects of being to physically exist in the world made of Chaos.
"When an object of being ends its life, the aura leaves the body and absorbs itself into the universe. Usually the aura separates itself and absorbs itself into the entire universe, becoming a small part of every object of being. But occasionally, the aura will stay together and fully absorb itself into an unborn object of being, basically becoming the base of the theory of reincarnation.
"When an aura is artificially separated before the life of the object of being ends, the aura does everything in its power to re-unite with itself. If a part of the aura has just recently been Chaos Controlled, the aura would, rather than using its own power, use the residue Chaos Energy to Chaos Control back, which can then be neutralized. The main danger of artificial aura separation is that if there's a glitch in the system, or if an excess amount of neutralizing Chaos Energy is used, then the aura may get damaged and permanently separated from the rest of the aura. When the rest of aura senses that a part of itself has 'died', it immediately breaks up as a defense mechanism to prevent further damage. This basically causes the object of being to cease to be, as if they never existed."
HGTSV: By reading this, you can clearly see how dangerous artificial aura separation really is, and you can clearly see why Decoe and Bocoe were so wary about being the first test subjects. To be truthful, though, Decoe wasn't the first test subject. Eggman tested it beforehand with small objects and obviously made sure the aura separation process would work before testing it with a large object. The main purpose of Eggman's test with Decoe was both to laugh at the reactions of the robots and to test the guidance system of the machine.
Quite obviously, as you will soon see, the guidance system didn't quite work.
Universe: SatAM
Location: Dr. Robotnik's base in Robotropolis
Date: 5:15 pm, December 21, 2014.
Only a few seconds after Eggman was unceremoniously thrown to the floor of this mysterious factory-like building by Chaos Control, his brain began to work overtime to logically speculate on where he transported to. Looking around the environment, along with remembering that the space-time guidance system wasn't working correctly, suggested to Eggman that he was probably warped to another dimension, perhaps Nega's.
Then he realized that the leprechaun was speaking to him.
"Who are you? But more importantly, what are you doing in the base of Dr. Robotnik?!"
"Yup.", Eggman thought, "It's a parallel dimension, one in which I already seem to exist."
Eggman cleared his throat. "I am Dr. Robotnik. I have recently completed a device that allows me to travel through time and space, an effect known as Chaos Control. I was accidentally trapped in the machine and was transported to an alternate dimension, namely, here."
Eggman barely kept a straight face as he watched the little green man's face become the physical manifestation of the phrase "WTF!".
"GUARDS! Take away this impostor and throw him in the dungeon!" the little man screamed.
"Yes Snively sir." the SWATbots droned.
Eggman looked up to see huge metal monstrosities walk into the room. Each robot had dark blue Darth Vader – like armor with guns infused onto its arms. Each also had an intimidating red visor where its eyes should be; eyes which were glowing and flashing as if they were scanning the room for the "intruder".
Needless to say, Eggman was quite terrified.
After his initial fear at the sight of these robots, Eggman began to think, as the SWATbots grabbed a hold of him, how utterly stupid he was. But to his surprise, the SWATbots let go of him as soon as they touched him.
"ERROR. Chest-mounted laser sensors indicate that prisoner is identified by databanks as 'Master Robotnik' Cannot imprison Master. Cannot compute."
"Compute it then!" Snively yelled annoyed.
"Yes Snively sir. Processor standing-by as artificial intelligence CPU attempts to find loophole. Non-essential systems shutting down for maximum efficiency. Stand-by mode activates in 5 seconds. 4..."
"NO! That's not what I meant you deadbolts!" Snively screamed, banging on the metal chest-plate of the lead SWATbot. (A/N: Personally, I believe that Snively has just as big of a temper as the SatAM Robotnik)
"2... 1... Shut down has commenced."
On cue, all the SWATbots shut down their artificial bodies, rerouting their power supply to their CPU. Then they began their attempt to use their lacking brain functions to find a loophole in the built-in programming that kept them from imprisoning "Master Robotnik".
Also on cue, Eggman could restrain himself no longer and broke into laughter because of the total stupidity of the situation.
Snively, on the other hand, appeared completely dumbfounded.
After regaining his composure, Dr. Eggman started talking to Snively again.
"Anyway, as I was saying, I believe that I am your Dr. Robotnik from another dimension. In any case, I seem to have complete control here whether you like it or not. So, you should probably start listening to me."
Snively stared into Eggman's eyes for about a minute as he thought about the situation he was in, and the consequences of any decisions he might make. While never truly proven, The Council of Four believe that Snively's inner monolougue went something like this:
"Can I trust this man? Yes, he certainly does look similar to Robotnik, almost like a younger version of him. They both have those infamously large and ugly mustaches, uggh. They both wear slighty similar red clothing, and they're both ridiculously fat. But, can I trust him?
...
No, I can't trust him. But what should I do? Should I just lull him into a false sense of security, then try to take over? Yes, that's the best plan. Yes, that is what I will do. Something I've been wanting to do for a long time..."
Noticing that Eggman was starting to get impatient, Snively finally responded.
"Okay, for the sake of this conversation, let's say that you were from another dimension. But that doesn't explain why my Dr. Robotnik suddenly disappeared from plain sight if it was you that was teleporting through space and time."
This actually stumped Eggman too, since it really didn't make sense why the Chaos Energy would teleport his counterpart since he made sure that all the energy was contained. Nevertheless, Eggman attempted to answer the question with his best theory about what happened.
"Well,", Eggman explained, "I was working with a mixture of both Chaos and Aura Energy, I'd say my best guess is that if an aura of a person enters a universe that contains a person that has the same aura, then they will conflict with each other.
The person that had just been Chaos Controlled probably has some residue Chaos Energy surrounding them, anchoring them in the new dimension. So instead the real resident of the dimension probably gets transported somewhere else so that there's no confliction. It's kind of like trying to stick two magnets of the same pole together."
"..."
"..."
"... What's a Chaos Control?"
Eggman sighed. "Whatever, just take my word for it."
Snively didn't respond.
Eggman continued, "Yeah, anyway, as long as I'm stuck here, this world would be a perfect place to make my empire. I don't really care where I make it, as long as I do!"
Snively turned to face him. "You already have an empire here."
"I do?"
"Yes, you do."
"A world-wide empire?"
"Yes."
"And I'm the sole Emperor?"
"Yes." Snively was starting to get annoyed.
"Are there any enemies to my empire?"
"Actually, yes there are. There's the so-called 'Freedom Fighters' to deal with"
"Ah, a good new challenge! Where does your Dr. Robonik do most of his planning?"
"His study, the door behind you."
"Good, good..." Eggman said evilly as he turned around and walked towards the study.
Only a few seconds after the door closed, the SWATbots finally woke out of their stand-by phase.
"Snively Sir. Search turned up positive results. Loophole found in programming. Awaiting instructions."
"Good, good..."
A/N: Personally, I don't like this chapter that much... but anyway, Aura Energy is going to play a larger part in this story near the end, so please, at least attempt to read through those beginning paragraphs. They will be important later.
