"Looks like they're almost here. Took them long enough. Honestly. Was he just trying to waste my time?" Robotnik mumbled as I watched him from nearby. A small gulp getting caught in my throat. They were getting closer. This wasn't good.. Not one bit. I really hope my friends are able to find a way to get here at least. We need all the help we can get.

Robotnik stood himself up and moved to press some buttons on the computer. "Sleet. Dingo. Go show our guests the way in." His voice was eerily calm as he watched them take the bait. I just hoped they knew it was a trap. If they get caught, there isn't much I can do. There is my second device.. But it's too risky to reveal yet. I just hope they will manage ok.."

"What is taking so long! I feel like we've been out of the story for like.. Five chapters now. I get that your machines take a while to build, but this is ridiculous. What kind of person takes seven month's to move the story along?" I asked Egghead, rolling my eyes.

Of course that annoyed him, which amused me. "For your information. It has not been 7 months, it has only been a few days. Also, I'm finished. This device has locked onto tail's signature and will be able to bring us directly to the world he appeared in. However, we do have one issue. There needs to be a portal on the other side. Assuming this is the same way he got there, I can only deduct there may be another me that accidentally dragged him over."

"So another you from another dimension stole our friend?! What other Eggmans don't we know about! Who else is in on it?!" Yep. Sticks is getting worked up again, we should get going fast before something bad happens, here or where tails is.

I turned to Eggman, arms crossed. "And you are sure this will work. The last thing we need is to get fried while we're rescuing tails.

"Of course it works! Unlike your friend my machines have a much better chance of actually working as they are supposed to. While his always seem to go wrong." I hate to admit it, but he is right there. Easy to destroy, but when it comes to function he does have that down. More experience I guess.

"Alright then gang, let's roll." We watched as Eggman pulled the switch and all five of us.. And orbot and cubot went inside. Surprisingly, they've been quiet lately.. I couldn't help but wonder why .
