"You know what's shocking?" Lakithunder stated as he was selling electricity at the Casino Park, rolling his arms about with a smile. "That it took me this long to formulate something this good!"
"What, charging up a theme park with an electricity outlet?" Rouge The Bat sarcastically remarked as she collected several gems.
"...not what I was going with." Lakithunder stated in disappointment as he glanced behind him, to see E-123 Omega blasting badniks trying to suck on the newly installed electricity.
"Must harness destructive urges, to blast fire!" Omega exclaimed while spinning his upper metal body around, his arm cannons constantly firing out lasers.
Lakithunder sighed as he placed his right hand on his forehead. "Yeesh... maybe I should just stick to my tropical stead in Seaside Hill."
It was then that Lakithunder's Power Plant exploded, causing him, Rouge, and Omega to go blasting off again in the dark starry sky above the Casino Park.
"This was not a thing I wanted to happen to me!" Lakithunder exclaimed while twirling around in the air. "I guess you could say I got shellshocked!"
"Oh shut up!' Rouge and Omega snapped as the three all crashed into a neon lit sign, which in turn fell down, heading further towards the city on the earth's ground, which given the distance was probably the Grand Metropolis zone.
