"So, what you're saying is that I become the newest robotic soldier of Eggman later on in my life," Rocket asked.
"That's pretty much it. After you, Scourge, Fiona, and Frost leave, all of you get captured by SWAT Bots who then take you to Eggman's base. Fiona, Scourge, and Frost are made prisoners while you get brought up to the big man himself. You become his newest Robian and you take out most of the team: Knuckles, Vector, Shadow, Silver, Aero, Aqua, Flame, Terra, Sonic, and Frost. Sally gets hospitalized after your mecha persona self-destructs and everyone gives up the fight against you because of what you did to everyone else. Eggman claims victory before Sally invades his HQ and roboticizes herself to fight you. She wins and both of you are turned back to normal. You feel guilty about what you did as Mecha Rocket, run off, and live by yourself. That's pretty much what Mom told me. Now you know why I didn't wanna tell you about your own roboticization," Josh said.
"Dang. I do all that while I'm Mecha Rocket?"
"Pretty much. I'm seriously glad I ain't you, dad."
"So, are Sean, Belle, Jacque, and Lara your only friends," Frost asked.
"No. There's Shade, Marcus, Salma, Rutan, and Dominic as well. I got pictures of them on my cell," Josh answered before getting out his cell. He went to his gallery and searched for pictures of his other friends. He stopped when he got to a picture of what seemed like a hedgehog with black fur, black and white quills, black and white shoes, a black shirt with a skull, black jeans, red eyes, two red lines running down his arms, and bat wings.
"Why would a hedgehog have bat wings?"
"Because he ain't a hedgehog at all. He's a hedgebat. Y'see, Shade's the son of Shadow and Rouge."
"That would explain the bat wings," Frost said.
"It does," Josh said before looking through his gallery. He stopped on a picture of a chameleon with long black hair that was braided on a few sides, a neon pink sleeveless belly-top, a pink belt, a pair of purple shorts, shoes that were a darker shade of purple, gray and white gloves, and a beaded necklace.
"Salma's the daughter of Espio. Of course you could tell she is from her chameleon appearance." Josh then continued looking through the gallery until coming to a picture of a red furred echidna with white tips at the ends of his dreadlocks, peach-colored skin, purple eyes, a grey vest, and blue boots with grey toes at the end.
"Rutan, the son of Lien-Da and the boyfriend of Salma," Josh said.
"Where did you even get these," Rocket asked.
"Just used my invisibility to hide in plain sight and took the shot."
"Invisibility? Where'd you get that power?"
"From you. You get that power and many more later on," Josh answered before scrolling through his gallery again. He stopped on a picture of a fox with green fur, two tails, blue eyes, and blue and white shoes.
"There's Marcus, son of Tails and Cosmo."
"Hold on. He's Tails' son," Frost asked.
"Yeah. He's pretty good at creating stuff. Why," Josh asked back.
"Because we got here because of Tails."
"And you need someone related to Tails to get back."
"That's right. Think you can find this guy," Frost asked.
"Sure. Shouldn't be too hard. Marcus only goes to three places during the day: school, the hardware store to pick up tools, and back home. That's pretty much his whole routine," Josh said.
"Definitely too easy. Let's go." Frost and Josh then walked outside and over to Josh's car.
"Strap yourself in so you don't fall out."
"Right. Thanks for the heads up," Frost said before grabbing his seatbelt and strapping himself in. Josh switched the gears from park to reverse then to drive and drove off towards Marcus' house.
"So, is there anyone from my legacy?"
"You mean like a son or a daughter," Josh asked back.
"Yeah," Frost answered.
"One daughter: Crystal. She has both your power and your wife's. She's a hedgehog with blue fur and yellow eyes. And before you ask, we're just friends."
"Cool. Wait. Who's my wife in this timeline?"
"Leaf. You two were dating in the past-present. At least, that's what Dad told me when he was telling me all about the adventures he and the rest of the team had," Josh answered.
"I do end up with Leaf in the future. Nice," Frost said.
"I'm sure that's the main reason you came here in the first place. I figured that when you asked about whether your legacy carried on or not."
"Perceptive."
"I have to be. I'm currently the top of my class in school," Josh said.
"And I'm sure Sean's at the bottom," Frost said.
"Totally true." Frost and Josh kept talking all the way to the Prower residence.
