Casino Park was always festive and full of excitement, but what made people really happy was that a new hotel was opening up, just right near the Pinball Highway racecourse to the east. How were people able to reach up here?

Well duh, by using air taxis.

"Looks like this place is going to become more of a tourist attraction than it already is!" Knuckles laughed as he moved his hands about.

Silver nodded his head in agreement as he placed his hands on his hips, being curious. "Yeah... I wonder who actually bothered to set up a hotel here when people literally come and go."

It was then that Eggman Nega popped up, shocking both Knuckles and Silver, who immediately got into fighting positions.

"You!" Silver and Knuckles exclaimed in unison, glaring at the mad scientist from another dimension. "What are you doing here!?"

Eggman Nega chuckled as he placed each of his hands on the two mammals' shoulders. "Heh heh heh. Now just calm down, you two. There's no need to be upset or start something." He calmly stated as his sunglasses shone brightly, the old evil scientist revealing his bright, white teeth.

"No need to start something!?" Knuckles angrily exclaimed as he slapped Eggman Nega's right hand away from him. "Do you know how much turmoil you put us through!?"

"Not enough, it seems." Nega chuckled as he began twisting his grayish mustache. "Anyway, I built this place because like my idiotic counterpart of this dimension, I need funding for my machines."

"But why? Can't you just get money from your dimension?" Silver asked as he rolled his hands around.

Eggman Nega smirked as he looked down at Silver. "Cute. You still don't hold down the concept that I can't just use foreign money from an alternative dimension. I hope you two decide to go to college and take business class." Patting them on the head, Eggman Nega chuckled as he walked back into the hotel, to welcome guests in.

Silver and Knuckles looked at each other oddly having found out that Eggman Nega was the man who owned the newly constructed hotel, not sure of what to make of the situation.
