"Mind telling me why there's a robot Sonic with a G.U.N logo on it?" Shadow asked

"I wished to be free of G.U.N so I fled while taking incredible amounts of damage so I escaped here." Mecha Sonic said, "I am Mecha Sonic."

He offered a hand but Shadow ignored it while Eri hesitantly took it

"So we're just gonna let him stay?" Shadow asked

"Yes because we have bigger fish to fry." Stone said as he pulled up some G.U.N files

One of which was labelled Operation Reclaim

"What's operation reclaim?" Eri asked

"Operation Reclaim is a mass abduction of all alien life forms on earth." Stone said

"Isn't it just us and the hedgehog and his family?" Shadow asked

"That's what I thought too but there's more." Stone said before pulling up some images

A purple cat with a fishing rod

A crocodile, a chameleon and a bee in comically large trench coats pretending to be human

A rabbit girl and her mother

An unknown being made of water

And of course Sonic, tails, and knuckles

With files of project shadow next to them

"They are going to use metal sonic drones made using blueprints stolen from the doctor." Stone said, "Luckily and unluckily they don't have metal Sonic's AI."

He pulled out a flash drive

"This is the only flash drive with metal Sonic's AI." Stone said, "I'm going to have to update with new parameters but it will work if we want one on our side."

"What's unlucky about this?" Shadow asked

"It means they're going to build an AI from the ground up meaning I can't access admin commands and reprogram them." Stone explained "And this flash drive will only work once."

"Why are you doing this? I thought you despised the blue hedgehog." Shadow said

"I do in the doctor's place but there are innocents and G.U.N is corrupt." Stone said

"If we want to pick a fight with G.U.N we will need more firepower." Shadow said, "As of Now it's just me and Mecha Sonic."

"Luckily for us...I know where to get more." Stone said

Inside Sonic's house UNIT was watering plants

"Plant watering nearing completion!" UNIT said

"Hello there." Stone said

UNIT looked to agent stone

"You are Dr. Robotnik's assistant." UNIT said

"Activate command 12302003." Stone said

Suddenly UNIT shut down and its AI was put on a flash drive

"Perfect." Stone said, "After some modifications, you will be very helpful."

"What is that?" Shadow asked pointing at a robot as Stone was changing UNIT's directives

"That's our new ally." Stone said, "E-123 Omega they were built by the doctor he just needs An AI."

He finished the modifications

"Done. Now his protocol is to destroy rogue robots." Stone said, "Let's begin the upload."

After a few short minutes, the upload was completed

"UNIT E-123 OMEGA ONLINE." Omega said, "WHERE ARE THE ROGUE ROBOTS?"

"They're not here yet." Stone said, "We must prepare."

"LAME." Omega said

"How should we prepare?" Shadow asked

"We should wait until the metal sonics are finished first but we can get their attention while we wait." Stone said

"How can we do that?" Shadow asked

"Welcome to the mean bean what will your order be today?" Shadow asked while in his barista outfit

"Uh, can I get a coffee two milk one sweetener?" The woman asked "And a donut for my son."

"You look like Sonic!" The boy said

Shadow didn't respond to him

"Cash or credit?" Shadow asked

Wade Whipple decided to get his coffee at the Mean Bean because he felt bad for stone

(He definitely knew something was up between the doctor and him)

But he wasn't expecting this

Two robots and two Hedgehogs working at the Mean bean

And stone of course

"Hello sir welcome to the mean bean." Stone said to Wade

"Can I get a coffee? 2 Sugar?" Wade asked

"Right away." Stone said, "Also please don't tell Sonic about..."

He gestured two shadows and Mecha sonic

"Okay...?" Wade said as he paid for his coffee

Naturally, with the newcomers working at the Mean Bean this gathered lots of attention online

@yourmom98

I asked them to send their cutest delivery boy and this showed up

(image Omega in a barista outfit holding a coffee and a bag of donuts)

@Cuteypatooey

He's trying his best!

@Solver

They did exactly what you asked them to why are you mad?

@Engineergaming

If I worked at a coffee shop I'd be lowkey tempted to do this too tho (Why does he sound like Keanu?)

(image of shadow popping coffee beans in his mouth.)

@KillerQueen

@Iamtheboy

Emo hedgehog is a feminist?

@KillerQueen

@rainbowride

this place is getting better and better

@TealNeal

so aliens are just vibing at cafes now?

@Baboom

Not even just that I'm like a good 95% sure the detectives in my town are an alligator a bee and a chameleon

@TealNeal

Now I've seen everything

@Mamasgirl

So I got lost in the woods and I ended up finding this house in the woods so I decided to knock and see if anyone was home and then a rabbit lady opened the door and invited me for tea before telling me how to get back to town all the while her daughter was asking me questions about the city

@TealNeal

NOW I've seen everything

@Twofortwo

Are we sure aliens are Evil? Because this says otherwise

@Froggyfishin

I literally found a humanoid cat with a pet frog named "Froggy" like I can't This is too pure

@Itsme

The evil aliens better be the devil from the bible in order to balance this out

"Commander Rockwell." An agent said, "We found Project Shadow!"

"Well go grab it!" Commander Rockwell said

"We can't. not only are they in Green Hills but people on the internet are finding out about them." The agent said "And they seem to be fond of them."

"Damn it!" Commander Rockwell said, "Is project metal nearing completion?"

"Yes." The agent said

"The night they are complete we are sending them out." Commander Rockwell said, "Operation Reclaim must work!"

"Should I have the scientists begin the Neo upgrade on one of the completed head drones?" The agent asked

"Yes do it on one of the weaker ones." Commander Rockwell said, "I want the Kai upgrade on the strongest."

"Yes ma'am." The agent said

Commander Rockwell then walked to one of the cells

"This better work or you're dead." The commander said

"Oh it will..." the voice inside

Little did the commander know...

An Eggman plan always goes sideways

But the doctor will use that to his advantage

Oh boy

Also Eri is still not smiling even when she's enjoying something

I wonder who will be the one to make her smile
