"The end is near, doctor… I will make sure you try as hard as you normally do when facing her, I do not want this to be too easy."

Dr. Robotnik began moving forward, in a zombie-like way, the person speaking to him remained unseen…

THE FINAL STRETCH

[Scene Theme: Militant Missionary (Sonic Adventure)]

[*plays with six colors]

Pin began to shiver a little when she stepped into where Dr. Robotnik was supposed to be. "It almost feels as if someone is here… Someone besides the doctor, watching all of us." She then averted her gaze, thinking about it. "Is there someone pulling his strings, I wonder? It's the only logical conclusion."

The others weren't able to hear her mumbling, and didn't seem to think anything much of it at all. Everyone halted when they saw Dr. Robotnik…

Wearing a red pajama shirt that had white spots, green pants, a nightcap, some slippers, and carrying a pillow.

STAGE 15

Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik - He has been acting rather odd lately, and somehow anticipated Pin to show up…? He does not even seem to be doing anything evil related to Sonic or the Chaos Emeralds. What's going on? (Special Attack: "Death Egg" - All beans in the 6x8 oval lining are removed)

[Character Theme: Final of Puyo Puyo (Puyo Puyo / Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine)]

Pin: "Uh… Dr. Robotnik? Why are you wearing pajamas? Did you just wake up?"

Smiley: "Maybe he was about to go take a nap, before we stepped in?"

Grounder: "We're very sorry for interrupting your evil sleep, your nastiness!"

Dr. Robotnik: "You have arrived. This is perfect."

Arms: "Dr. R?… You sound different, do you have a cold?"

Penguinator: "That is certainly not his voice. Master Robotnik, were you anticipating Lady Pin's arrival?"

Pin: "The real question I have… Who are you, and what are you doing to everyone's favorite, fat doctor?!"

Dr. Robotnik: "Very clever of you to figure out that I'm using the doctor. I'm the one who brought you here, not him."

Grounder: "Why Dr. Robotnik! You let him go!"

Dr. Robotnik: "Shouldn't you be thanking me, for reactivating all of you? Not that I really care for any of the likes of you robotic cretins."

Penguinator: "Cretins?!"

Smiley: "It's not even a clever insult, which is how I know this ain't the real Robotnik talking to us."

Pin: "That's… One way of putting it."

Dr. Robotnik: "I do wish you would put your chatty partners to the side, so I can be the one to test your strength! I shall disable all of your Special Attacks!"

Penguinator: "B-but I barely got to use mine besides a few opponents!"

Arms: "Pin! You can do it, even without the Special Attacks! I know it!"

Pin: "It'll just be the same as always, then! Let's end this!"

THE FINAL STRETCH COMPLETE

[Scene Theme: Unbound (Sonic Adventure)]

[*if you don't play on the highest difficulty]

"Haha… You did well. But not good enough." Dr. Robotnik laughed. "Try a little harder next time… I shall leave you all with your doctor, but it looks like you won't have the satisfying feeling of getting to see me." The voice began fading, and soon, the doctor began stirring.

"What do you mean?! Just who are you?!" Pin shouted, in which she was met with Dr. Robotnik standing up.

"I'm Dr. Rrrrrrobotnik!" He replied, startling Pin. "Wait, I rrrremember you! What are you doing here?! Why are three of the robots I stored in the reject pile, two years ago, now awake?! And what is Smiley here for?!"

"Calm down, they were all worried about you, so I helped them! They all knew something was wrong with you, when they were all rebooted!" Pin snapped. "Also, don't go shutting them off ever again, or else… I'll come back to kick your butt while your half-asleep again! Now tell me, why am I here, and how do I get back to my world?! I can't travel back home in a dimension I'm unfamiliar with, ya know!"

Dr. Robotnik just stared at her. "You act as if I know how to help you on that! Can't you just do what you did last time? This sounds like a stupid excuse for you to not just try and go home instantly!"

"Even if I could do that, I wouldn't want to leave without making sure you weren't up to anything fishy." She then turned around, starting to leave. "Though, I guess I'll just have to make due with whatever is here… Until then, I won't get in your way." Pin sighed, walking out of the Final Egg. Slightly puzzled, Arms and Grounder began to follow her, followed by Penguinator.

"I have several questions right now…!" Robotnik groaned.

"Hey, I'm still here, I can answer 'em, doc." Smiley replied, chuckling.

BAD ENDING

[Scene Theme: Clown (Puyo Puyo~n)]

After a few days, Pin began exploring the Mystic Ruins, particularly, the unusual shrine that was near the Final Egg. Collecting various crystals, herbs, and other materials.

"Not good enough… I need to try harder? Whatever did that person mean? Was my magic power in that fight not enough, even when I didn't use Special Attacks?" Sliding inside of the shrine's depths, she investigated, splashing through a few puddles inside.

She stopped when she saw a small entrance. Getting on her knees and looking at it, Pin thought aloud. "It seems safe… What's in here?" Crawling through the hole, she was surprised to see several murals on the wall.

One was of a light-blue monster, attacking civilization. The one that caught Pin's attention however, was the mural of a person in a green cloak, holding up a staff in their right hand, and a book in the other.

Pin's eyes quickly laid on the stand below the mural, where a book lied. Carefully, she picked it up, afraid of any possible booby traps, then opened it. "An ancient sorcerer's book? Maybe this is what that person was talking about? I need to get stronger?… Ah, I don't recognize this language." Pin mumbled, closing the book and then taking it with her, thankful that nothing was triggered to assault her.

"I'll show whoever that person was then! I'm going to use this, and really become the best sorceress! When I get home, hopefully I can use this as an excuse to why I've been out of school for so long! Even if it takes me forever!"

From there on out… Pin began to distance herself, to learn the secrets of the magic of the book she found.

Just like the one controlling Dr. Robotnik would have wanted her to…

THE END…?

((The super attack carried over from Satan to Dr. Robotnik was changed, to remove any references to religion.

This is also the one time I use the stupid stage effects from YON, for this one battle, because it makes sense with the storyline going on.

Not that this story is logical at all, considering Pin seriously couldn't leave at any time…))
