Merry Christmas!

"Merry Christmas, everyone!"

"We hope you are all enjoying your holiday!"

Be sure to spread kindness to people wherever you go!"

"Enjoy some quality time with your friends and family!"

"Reconnect with family you haven't seen in a while."

"And make some new friends along the way, too!"

"We hope the gifts you received made you smile!"

"And we hope that the gifts you gave to other made them smile as well!"

"No matter where you are in the world, we hope your Christmas or holiday equivalent to it has been wonderful!"

"Thank you... All of you... For being with us for another Christmas. We appreciate each and every one of you, and we hope you'll join us for another year to come."

Hey, everyone. I know this year my activity levels have been back and forth due to how busy I can be IRL, but I'm so glad I could spend another Christmas with old friends, as well as with the new friends I made. Whether it's celebrating the birth of the Lord Jesus, being kind and sharing good will, or spending time with your friends and family, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I Know I sure had one...

With that said... I admit being a bit drained, so I hope you don't mind that I save the Christmas Gift Meme for later, whether it's some time tonight, or after Christmas. I still hope you'll still send some in regardless because I love being able to do these kinds of activities with you guys. I wanted to make sure at the very least that I could wish you all a Merry Christmas. It is my favorite holiday, after all. I'll get to the gift memes as soon as I can, but until then, Merry Christmas, keep up the good work, stay awesome, and God bless all of you.

In Paradox Rodea's dimension...

"This was a great idea, Rodea. Since Dr. Starline took over my lab in my dimension, I can use the lab here for resources and materials..."

"Yeah... I'm glad this lab can be put to good use after..."

Rodea looks down, clearly saddened.

"...I'm really sorry about your Mr. Tinker, Rodea..."

"It's fine... He died saving this dimension... He was a hero...

"Anyway, we better continue bringing resources to SciLab."

With the help of Emerl, Gamma, and Terios, Mr. Tinker and Rodea began moving the materials and resources to Mr. Tinker's lab. In the middle of it, they heard something in the sky.

"UNIDENTIFIED FLYING FORTRESS DETECTED."

"Hey! It's Vanilla's Flying Bakery!"

"Did you say 'Vanilla's Flying Bakery?!'"

Up in the flying house, Vanilla's voice could be heard on the intercom.

"Greetings, everyone! We have a new, special treat for you today. My daughter made strawberry and cream pie. I hope you enjoy it!"

"Strawberry and cream pie? That sounds awesome... Really wish I could eat so I can try some."

"I knew Cream and her mother were great cooks, but I never imagined they'd have a flying fortress to sell their baked goods."

"Funny enough, the Mr. Tinker of this dimension built it for them... And Vanilla doesn't actually sell them. She goes around looking for poor and homeless people who could use a meal..."

"That sounds like Cream and Vanilla, alright. Those two are like purity incarnate."

"INTENTIONS REGISTERED AS GOOD. HOWEVER, ERROR IN LOGIC DETECTED. THEIR BUSINESS CAN'T CONTINUE IF THEY RUN OUT OF RESOURCES."

"You have a point there, Gamma. Rodea, is anyone funding their flying bakery?"

"Oh, gosh... You're right... The Mr. Tinker of my dimension was originally funding them, as well as making sure to give the flying fortress a check up every so often... But with him gone..."

"That shouldn't be a problem! We could have Welch fund them. She loves helping people, and she has plenty of resources to spare. Plus, with her help, Cream and Vanilla can help people in need both here AND the rest of the Multiverse. It's a win-win!"

"Terios, my boy, that's an ingenious idea! You make your father so proud!"

"This also means we'll have Cream and Vanilla as part of the crew, too!"

And so, Rodea flew up to the flying bakery to explain the plan to them. Both grateful to him, as well as happy to see Rodea again after so long, the Rabbit residence accepted the offer and they met up with Welch, who was also on board with the idea. And soon enough...

"There! All done! Everything is set, so you can continue giving out food to the poor all across the Multiverse with no issue! I'll gladly provide any resources you need, Mr. Tinker and the other scientist will give your flying bakery maintenance whenever needed, and Emerl here will serve as bodyguard whenever you go out so you'll stay safe out there! Plus, my employees in the food department will provide extra help for you whenever you need it."

"Thank you so much, Miss Vineyard! We really appreciate it!"

"My pleasure! Glad to have you as part of the team!"

(Cream. Cheese, Vanilla, and Chocola have joined the party!)

New Friends from Christmas

"Yay! It's the Christmas Season again! I'm so excited!"

"So am I, Terios. I do enjoy the smiles on peoples faces when they receive the gifts I give them..."

"I enjoy how much kinder people become during the season."

"I like that, too, Mr. Klonoa. I also love making new friends on the Holidays. Emerl said he plans to introduce me to Miss Milla real soon. Speaking of which, I met a new friend recently while Miss Goober went through one of those portal things again."

"Aw, you did? Leave it to Cream to make a new friend! Where are they?"

"Oh, he's nearby. He's just a little shy is all. Go ahead! Say hi. They won't hurt you, I promise!"

Stepping out of the shadows was none other than...

"Hey... Isn't that...?!"

"Hello... Everyone..."

Wait, what?! Infinite?! How did he get here?! Stay tuned to find out.

"The coolest wildcat is back! The coolest wildcat is back!"

[sentient-rift]

"Did you all see the Sonic 3 trailer?! It was awesome! Shadow was awesome! I'm so excited!"

"I agree with you, Terios. That ending, though... I was not expecting that...

"But I was expecting not to expect something, so it doesn't count."

About Terios the Shadow Android

Name: Terios (Formerly just known as "Shadow Android."

Robot Type: Shadow Android

Gender: A.I. Male.

Abilities: Super Speed, Chaos Control, Chaos Blast, Chaos Spear, Style Change (Blue Machine, Green Grenade, Purple Machine, Orange Grenade)

Background: One of the Shadow Androids Dr. Eggman built. When RiFT brought one of them to Bass' dimension, Mr. Tinker modified and reprogrammed him to not only be the ultimate Shadow Android, but to also be his own person. As a result, this robot has a slightly different personality compared to the real Shadow. To further give him his own identity, Nana gave him the name "Terios."

Terios, unlike Shadow, started out with a timid personality upon awakening and tends to get nervous around those he's not used to, even going as far as hiding behind Mr. Tinker like a scared child. However, as he began to get used to the new friends around him, Terios developed the personality of an excited, yet still naive child who loves to see things he perceives as cool. Despite his childlike personality, Terios has incredible power that can rival the real Shadow.

One of the modifications Mr. Tinker gave Terios is the ability to change forms. Taking on a more robotic appearance and having an arm cannon. He has for forms; Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple, and has two types of arm cannons; Machine Gun and Grenade Launcher. He also has access to Chaos Control, but it's not as powerful as the original.

Terios seems to have a younger brother relationship with Emerl and Gamma, and sees Mr. Tinker as a father. They seem to be the group he's most comfortable around.

Klonoa seems to like Terios' company. His appearance reminds him of his friend and rival, Gantz, especially since he uses firearms like him. However, their personalities couldn't be anymore different.

Something about Bass inspires Terios. He doesn't really understand what it is, but he wants to learn from him. He assumes it's because he thinks Bass is cool, but he also feels like it's more than that.
