As Sonic and Miles were going through Atlas, it was some pretty heavy weather and they were trying to keep themselves warm, Sonic noticing Miles's gadgets after they rented a room in a hotel to keep warm.
"Where'd you get all these cool gadgets?" Sonic asks
"I invented them, it's kinda my thing." Miles responds, rubbing his neck. "That's kinda my thing."
Sonic brushed the snow off.
"Remember that night at the tennis field? Yoru energy blast reached all the way to my home island! I saw you save your entire village from that craazy mustache guy!" Miles responds
"Wait, so you been watching me this whole time? Even in the shower?" Sonic questions
"Ha, that's a trick question, Sonic Speed Hedgehog prefers bubble baths." Miles responds
"Man, you're good." Sonic comments
"When I learned Knuckles was on your trail, I knew I couldn't just sit back and watch anymore." Miles states. "I had to get Longclaw's approval to find you and then warn you."
Then, Sonic's scroll went off.
"Oop, Doughnut Lord's checking in." Sonic comments,checking his scroll
What he and Jaune didn't know was Knuckles, Stone, and Robotnik were observing the convo somehow with their tech.
"Just chillin. Watching TV." Knuckles read as the dot dot dot message from Jaune pops up, showing he's typing. "Dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot..."
Stone leans to Robotnik adn whispers, "Doctor, why are we working with this imbecile?"
"because that simple minded scarlet red Faunus is the key to something extraordinary." Robotnik stated. "The emerald he seeks could power my wildest designs. My genius shouldn't just be recognized on Remnant, I wanna spread it far to every corner of the galaxy, allowing me to harness all the negative forces of the universe and commune with darkness itself."
"Wow...that sounds big." Stone says
"It's been on my vision board for years." Robotnik responds. "Just the law of attraction. Kablooey!"
Then, another message popped up.
"'Just another boring night at home' THE FAUNUS HAS RETURNED HOME!" Knuckles comments
Robotnik looks back at Knuckles.
"Nefas. Which is latin for...wrong!" Robotnik says, pulling up a few holograms. "According to my worldwide network cell tower triangulation, he's lying. All the way in the majestic hitterlands of Western Atlas. He's a long distance LIAR!"
Robotnik began flicking a small hologram of Sonic.
"There's more where that came from!" Robotnik comments
Knuckles smashed it and said, "Let's just begin our quest."
As they walked towards the door, Knuckles rose an eyebrow.
"What about your minion? The goatmilker?" Knuckles asks
Stone was sweeping up the glass pieces from where knuckles slammed down his fist.
"There's no room on the ship for Stone. I say we ditch him, ghost him, blow him off!" Robotnik stated as he opens the door
"Dishonor!" Knuckles retorted
"Dis...is how I roll." Robotnik comments, stepping out
