#if you'd like to see my script and I haven't already shown it to you just DM me

[tamelee]

hiii tamelee <3 you said you were writing a script for sns, right? could you give us the vaguest idea what it's about or do you want it to be a surprise? i love your art btw its so pretty

Hiii! 💕 oh yes I'd love to!! Tysm for liking my art and your interest in it! Ah, yes! The script was pretty much finished and I planned on drawing it already... but I felt like I had to research something Kishimoto used as reference a bit better and then... I fell into the student/research rabbit-hole.. >.< I had to make a change and it's taking me a bit of time, but I'm getting there 🥹 ((I'm also not too sure about Kakashi as Hokage around that time, I can't really find much and I refuse to read more novels or watch that terrible movie -.- does anyone know?)) Hmm'~ It's an SNS-story, but the plot isn't focussed on romance. Doesn't mean there won't be any though...... ((Maybe unpopular opinion but I don't think either are ready to accept it at that point in their lives despite VotE2. Acknowledgement is one thing. Acceptance another. But taking the next vulnerable step when both are (secretly) terrified of loss and rejection? Oh man. Anyway, there'll be no (immediate) hand holding or skipping over happy rainbows, I'll say that much 👀)) There are things I want to say, but in essays my words fall short and so, I wanted to create a story with that purpose ^^ The plot isn't spread over a long time at all and starts around 2 years after the war when they're 19y- blank period. I may have to switch it to 18-20y because I'm not too sure about Kishimoto's timeline and I weaved in background info through the original. It may not be perfectly aligned, but I did my best >.< And so, the story itself starts much earlier- there are a few flash-backs. I entirely made up the conflict of course, but it is focussed around.... hm, I guess problems that we expected were going to be solved during that time but clearly never were? I'm not 'fixing' the future that is shown in the sequel, but I'm challenging the possibility of that outcome and consequences in my story anyway. Fair warning, there is quite a bit of satire.. Naruto and Sasuke not excluded 😬🤷🏻‍♀️ (It has purpose, I promise.) If anyone saw the design of an OC (I made changes already xD), then you probably saw that Amegakure will play a role as well. I guess you could see the story as some sort of filler-arc made by a dedicated fan, because those also have some characters you'd only see during that arc and then never again :') That's kinda how I approached it anyway. I asked myself 'If I could fill in the timeline here after Sasuke left Konoha and having the future in mind, how would I do that? 🤔' I tried thinking about things I can reveal already or things that will happen, but I feel like it's better to keep it as a surprise!!! 🫢 I haven't written a blurb either. (Why did no one tell us how hard it is to do that? Props to all authors, honestly.) I'll probably post some sketches soon, there are still a few things I have to design as well ^^ aaannndd... it will also come with cw/tw's... it definitely isn't suited for everyone but I can't wait to start the journey~

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: Action Prologue

"Let's do things differently this time around. Like, MUCH different to what you'd predict."

We pan to a shot of OMT!Tails and OMT!Mina (formerly OPG!Mina; for "Our Penultimate Game"), or rather a picture that would be later tucked into a drum kit.

OPG!Mina: His name is Miles "Tails" Prower. He gained his own super-speed, and he's not the only one.

Shots of their fated meeting at Bumper High School are shown in advance, then we see Mina getting her own super-speed in her universe.

OPG!Mina: He hasn't always had it easy...

A flash-forward to Uma being carried in OMT!Tails's arms to the hospital is shown...

OPG!Mina: And he's not the only one...

...alongside her staying out of the sight of her Ash Mongoose, who was on the hunt for her.

OPG!Mina: I'm scared that he may be on his own for good someday...

The goodbye on the two's end...

OPG!Mina: And he might not be the only one...

...a show of Mina disappearing from her friends in the Sally.exe Discovery events.

OPG!Mina: You may think you know all the rest. You don't... I thought I knew all the rest, but I didn't.

Flashes of a frightening future at the background drums get more and more intense.

OPG!Mina: I didn't want him getting hurt, but he still got hurt anyway... and he's not the only one...

???: Mina? Mina! Hey!

Flash back to her present day at the time of this prologue, with her fellow Forget-Me-Knots bandmates around her concerned.

OPG!Mina: Is the song over? It seems over, doesn't it?

Max Monkey: Are you okay?

Sharps Chicken: Yeah, man... You've barely been hanging out, and you've not had time to talk...

OPG!Mina: I haven't solely been getting involved in the band to talk about my feelings-.

Mach Rabbit: Well, I did.

OPG!Mina: I've solely been a part of it to hit my feelings hard with the drums!

She hit the drums as Sharps muted the cymbal with his wing.

Max: If you don't tell somebody what's going on, you're gonna end up snapping...

OPG!Mina (lying): I'm fine.

OPG!Sally: That's really not how somebody who's fine would say that, though, Mina.

Max: Yeah... Wouldn't they say "I'm great, thanks! How are you?"?

OPG!Mina: I'm great! THANKS!

She knocked the drum kit over...

OPG!Mina: How are you?!

...before storming off-stage.

Sharps: F-Fine...?

Mach: Mina, come on!

OPG!Sally: You haven't been the same since... you know.

OPG!Mina: Yeah, you're right.

She slammed through the double doors in upset, leaving them in silence for a few seconds.

Mach: I mean, I play drums too.

Dimension NS-2021 - Station Square Outdoors

Mina is walking outside against the foot-traffic in her world.

OPG!Mina: I always wanted to be in a band. Guess I just never found the right one. After all, in this line of work... you often wind up a solo act. Before the Tails I knew, there was the Sonic and Tails from my world...

Flashback - Station Square Chao Garden

A simpler time, a more posh haircut. Mina scrolled through photos that her friends took.

OPG!Mina: How many of these did you take?

OPG!Sonic: I think you look cool!

OPG!Tails: Yeah. And heroes are good guys in situations like this.

OPG!Ash: Why run like the wind when you've got nothing to hide?

OPG!Amy: Hey, no rough opinions here, please.

OPG!Mina: Heh, thanks, Amy.

OPG!Mina: But they didn't really know me. And... I didn't really know how my life would go.

Cut to OPG!Mina standing up for OPG!Tails and keeping bullies away from him.

OPG!Mina: Don't even think about touching him again!

OPG!Tails: T-Thanks, Mina.

And then a cut to a monster tearing Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik and Amy apart.

OPG!Mina: ...until it was too late...

Flashback - Amy.OMT's Dimension

Cut to the big battle against Amy.OMT on OPG!Mina's part.

Amy.OMT: It will never bring them back. Your efforts are all for nothing.

OPG!Mina (furious): Shut up already and just DIE!

She fired one last hit to kill the monster, though with her friends gone, she felt like it really was all for nothing.

OPG!Mina: I never really made another friend after that...

Back to the present of the time...

She left a subway, heading back to an apartment area in the city.

OPG!Mina: ...except for one in the Amy I knew. But she's not here. And there's no way to get there.

Later, in the apartment, she came up to where her version of Rosemary Prower was.

OPG!Rosemary: How did the band go?

OPG/OMT!Mina: Uh, yeah, great. I quit. So, y'know, thumbs up.

She hid in her room as Rosemary tried to keep the conversation afloat.

OPG!Rosemary: Still torn up about Tails, huh?

OMT!Mina: Yeah...

OPG!Rosemary: I've been doing my best to file a court case against the murder accusations, Mina. I just wish we could be doing better for it...

OMT!Mina: Me too...

She was packing up her clothes, feeling like she was almost done with this universe.

OPG!Rosemary: You still too much in a bad mood to give me a-?

Mina hugged her mother-in-law tight. A bit of an over hug, because... what if it's the last one? Rosemary comfortingly rubbed Mina's back during the hug, soon before they each heard the stolen G.U.N. radio start up.

G.U.N. Dispatcher: All units, possible supervillain event at the art museum! Suspect is Snively Robotnik.

Madonna: 49-20 on scene! We're gonna need all the help we can get. It's a real mess down there!

Mina, knowing what she needed to do, kicked open the drum in her room. A picture of her friends from her prior crossover event was visible inside; if only they were here so she'd have another friend to talk to... But for now, it was time for her to get her combat clothes on and go to help save the day.

OPG!Ash: This's Ash Mongoose, I'm five out. Need you guys to look alive. There's a good chance our girl shows up.

Mina turned off the radio.

OPG!Rosemary: Good luck, honey.

OMT!Mina smiled one more time to her before leaping out and web-swinging over to her destination.

Dimension NS-2021 - Art Museum, Station Square

OMT!Mina watched as numerous G.U.N. agents gathered around the art museum after a sudden break-in. Madonna (one of said agents) passed OPG!Ash a clipboard with what Snively looks like. At least, what he's supposed to.

OPG!Ash: Madonna, explain to me how a guy with a pointy nose and green suit just waltzed into the museum unnoticed?

Madonna: It's Station Square. Everyone has their gimmick-.

An explosion erupted from the building as Snively's voice boomed from the entrance.

OPG!Ash: You know what he wants?

Madonna: Do you speak Italian?

OPG!Ash: Nah, I'm an American guy.

Madonna: Maybe tell him you like pasta.

The two readied themselves.

OPG!Ash: Everybody on my signal! Look out for signs of Mina Mongoose!

As he said that, various GUN agents, including him and Madonna, were quickly tied up by webbing.

OPG!Ash: Hey!

His mouth was hit by one of said webs, too.

OMT!Mina: How's the manhunt for me going?

OPG!Ash (muffled by the web): YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!

OMT!Mina: Good to know!

Mina leapt into the building to investigate, only seeing signs of wreckage about the area.

OMT!Mina: Snively! ... Huh. Yelling their name usually works.

She was quickly hit by a speeding hover vehicle, crashing through a glass exhibit with numerous basketballs inside. Maniacal laughter was heard as this happened.

OMT!Mina: G-Guess that worked.

She looked above her to see the Snively that was terrorising the museum.

Snively: I am Snively! The pinnacle of Robotropolis's genius!

OMT!Mina: You're not my Snively. Who are you?

Snively: Better question; what kind of world have I been dragged into?!

He suddenly glitched, making incoherent babbling as it happened, which Mina could relate to.

OMT!Mina: Ah, glitching, huh? Been there.

Snively fired several spiky ice balls at her as she examined him, quickly picking up on where he was from after her past outing with SatAM Sally. She somersaulted on top of his Egg Mobile as it flew around.

OMT!Mina: Let me guess. You were in some celluloid world fighting the Freedom Fighters before some weird portal opened and brought you here.

A flashback is shown with this exactly happening, a portal suddenly opening behind Snively and flinging him out into the museum. He reeled back in shock at some of the more strange art on display.

OMT!Mina: Am I warm?

Snively: Yes, that's pretty much it!

They steered around the building, several exhibits getting damaged by Snively's Egg Mobile.

OMT!Mina: Hey, uh, mind if you calm down? 'Cause you're kinda ruining the art museum!

Snively: You call this art?

He pointed to a huge balloon dog sculpture on one floor.

OMT!Mina: Hey, everyone's got their own opinion. Even though modern art is kinda ridiculous, people like to express themselves, money wasted or not!

One of Snively's drills knocked the sculpture's head off, revealing lots of normal-sized balloon dog sculptures inside.

Museum-Goer: Oh, that's cool!

She quickly steered Snively's Egg Mobile upwards to keep innocents safe, right as he threw her onto one of the higher floors, where a cell-shaded picture was.

OMT!Mina: Oh, look! It's your cousin!

Snively growled, having had enough of her quips.

Snively: Here's fire in your eye!

He fired numerous fireballs from cannons at her, which she appropriately dodged.

OMT!Mina: Oh, if I just had some paint thinner-.

Snively summoned one of the arms from the Big Arms mech, prompting pinning her to the wall.

Snively: Say goodbye, hero! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

He raised another arm with sharp claws for the final blow.

OMT!Mina: Oh no...

Just then, numerous blue energy beams held that arm back as a portal formed overhead. And out of that portal came a huge red fireball that knocked Snively away from OMT!Mina into the rubble on lower ground. She hopped down to investigate, seeing a Sonic with modified SOAP shoes and sporting two sets of wrist gear; a modified enerbeam bracelet from Dimension BOOM-2014 on one wrist, and an interdimensional watch on the other. Though, the attempt to make the reveal dramatic was undercut by OMT!Mina asking a question to him.

OMT!Mina: I'm sorry, who exactly are you supposed to be?

LM!Sonic: It's classified.

OMT!Mina: Oh! You're Batman Sonic? LM!Sonic: No. OMT!Mina: Shadow Sonic. LM!Sonic: No, I'm-. OMT!Mina: Shadic? LM!Sonic: No-. Please stop that. OMT!Mina: Macho Libre!

LM!Sonic: I'm from another dimension.

OMT!Mina: Ooooooooh. (sarcastic) Well, that's shocking.

A cool intro started up.

"I am Sonic the Hedgehog from Dimension SS-2001. I am part of an elite strike force dedicated to the protection of the multiverse-."

OMT!Mina: Actually, forget it.

...and immediately ended.

OMT!Mina: So you can go anywhere you want with that watch?

LM!Sonic: It's much cooler than your everyday watch. Or even a smart watch.

OMT!Mina: Okay, heh. Sensitive. So, uh, there's a little evil green man from a celluloid world I have to bring to justice, so, if you don't mind...

LM!Sonic: The one from CSA-2013, huh? It's alright, kid. I'll take it from here.

As he said that, OMT!Mina noticed Snively rising up from the rubble in a still-intact Egg Mobile with a smile.

OMT!Mina: Okay, knock yourself out.

LM!Sonic (genuinely confused): Wait, why are you saying it like that?

And on cue, Snively charged right into him as OMT!Mina dodged and followed them.

LM!Sonic: YOU'RE NOT FUNNY!

OMT!Mina: Eh, I dunno. Hehe!

The G.U.N. agents managed to get inside, catching sight of the scuffle in the air and working to get museum-goers out.

LM!Sonic: It's been really fun being part of cleaning up your little mess, by the way.

OMT!Mina: What mess?

LM!Sonic: Hellsin's Ruby Reactor!

Snively: What in the world are you two talking about?!

OMT!Mina: None of your business! Nosy! LM!Sonic: You shut up! Callate!* (* "Be quiet!")

OMT!Mina: We saved the multiverse!

LM!Sonic: You left a hole wide enough for guys like him to randomly get thrown into the wrong dimensions.

Snively barrelled through the ceiling displays as OPG!Ash barely avoided being flattened by a giant lobster statue. In the process, OMT!Mina and LM!Sonic worked to get the civilians away from the crashing debris and out of exits safely.

LM!Sonic: Now I'm stuck trying to get everybody back where they belong before all of time and space collapses. And don't get me started on those childish alternates of me from Dimensions NEX-2023 and SRB-1998!

As they ran by after Snively, OMT!Mina restrained OPG!Ash to the wall again.

OMT!Mina: Sorry, Ash!

OPG!Ash: Hey, HEY!

Snively: Look out below! HAHAHAHA!

He fired lots of missiles at the two heroes.

OMT!Mina: So, you want me to handle this, or...?

In response, LM!Sonic leapt up, using the red Chaos Emerald to blaze through many of the missiles and blow them up.

OMT!Mina: Huh, okay.

She got to dealing with any missiles that slipped past whilst LM!Sonic tore a whole section of Snively's Egg Mobile armour clean off. However, Snively was just as quick to create a NEW set out of nowhere.

LM!Sonic: Aw, god damn it! He's got hammerspace*!

[*Hammerspace: an infinite extra-dimensional storage area for cartoon hammers and the like. -MCStudio]

LM!Sonic fell into the rubble below, whilst OMT!Mina was knocked aside by the Egg Mobile's head spikes.

LM!Sonic: Oh... Elise! Could you please...? You know...

E-21's Elise state appeared in hologram form.

E-21: Nah, you gotta say it first.

LM!Sonic: *sigh* Call for backup. E-21 (teasing): What? LM!Sonic: Call for backup. E-21: C'mon~! LM!Sonic: Please just call for-!

E-21: Yeah, I've already called them.

LM!Sonic growled in frustration. On cue, another portal opened as OMT!Mina watched, with 5 more heroes leaping out. The first thing Snively was met with was a green motorbike crashing right into him, followed by Tekno, its rider, using the green Chaos Emerald to pull him in with vines and knock him into the tire, right before Zonic flew down to attack further. Tekno finally made her landing, with Stella the Cat and Bunnie Rabbot making a landing before Mina's eyes too.

Stella: Stella Hoshine!

Bunnie: Bunnie Rabbot, sugah-girl!

Tekno: And Tekno!

OMT!Mina: Heh, and I'm Mina.

She looked at Stella's belly.

OMT!Mina: Are you, uh...?

She was 6 weeks pregnant at the time.

Stella: Oh, this? Well, we don't know the sex yet. My boyfriend wanted it to be a surprise. He's quite unfeeling about things, but he's still very sweet deep down, heh!

OMT!Mina: Will you adopt me?

Stella: Nani*? (*Japanese for "What?")

OMT!Mina: What? What?

EV!Sonic: Hey, guys! Let's focus our attention on Snievely over here, then we'll do introductions!

Snively: It's Snively!

Bunnie: Comin' right over, sugah-hog!

Tekno: Let's go!

The seven heroes banded together to take on Snively, utilising the environment to their full advantage, alongside the individual Chaos Emeralds. During the battle, Stella and LM!Sonic were running at the same wall, the former being least crazy about her stunts to save her energy.

Stella: What about her?

LM!Sonic: No.

Stella: We could definitely use her service!

LM!Sonic: No.

Stella: Is it because she called you "Shadic"?

LM!Sonic: No...

Stella: Do you say anything OTHER than "no"?

LM!Sonic: No- ...yes.

Stella: Naze damedesu ka?* (*Japanese for "Why not?")

LM!Sonic: You know why...

During the battle, EV!Sonic passed the silver Emerald to Mina to make use of, whilst he, Zonic and LM!Sonic leapt after Snively.

Snively: Don’t celebrate too soon!

They got onto the Egg Mobile.

Snively: The forecast calls for showers. Hope you brought your umbrellas! LRZ Missiles!

He launched a missile into the air to break the glass ceiling, as OMT!Mina and Bunnie moved in to save civilians from the falling glass.

Zonic: Don't let him escape! He'll cause more trouble if he gets too far!

He rocketed upwards as the three hedgehogs blew his armour off, LM!Sonic going in and holding Snively's head off to the side, which let him see the vast view of Station Square from above.

Snively: Such a wonderful beauty...

LM!Sonic: You get used to it.

LM!Sonic showed a slasher smile as he prepared to knock Snively to sleep, only for a helicopter flashlight to interrupt him.

G.U.N. Pilot: Get on the ground!

LM!Sonic: Oh, will you just get out of here?!

G.U.N. Pilot: We have you surrounded!

EV!Sonic: Stop the assault, please! We're good guys!

G.U.N. Pilot: You don't look like good guys!

Zonic: You're just gonna have to trust us!

Snively: So long, suckers!

Snively shot two lasers at the helicopter to knock it out of the sky as he laughed.

EV!Sonic: NO!

Snively: Gotcha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!

Though, his gloating didn't last very long, since it crashed into him and knocked him to the ground outside. Witnessing this, OMT!Mina honed her focus to the beat of drums... before leaping upwards with the silver Chaos Emerald, which enhanced her web-summoning skills to form a huge web to catch the helicopter with, before she went and pulled the pilots out safely.

OMT!Mina: You ready?

LM!Sonic: Coming up!

LM!Sonic leapt up and got the two pilots to safe ground, whilst Mina moved her focus to slowing the chopper's descent to save the city. The rest of their teammates joined in, getting to other buildings and using their Chaos Emeralds to enhance their enerbeam bracelets and catch the chopper. They held on with all their might, and just in time, the helicopter landed gently onto the web.

Civilian: Yeah, I think it's a Banksy.

With that, LM!Sonic picked up the now-unconscious Snively.

LM!Sonic: That's what I was gonna do.

OMT!Mina, on her end, was proud to get a nod from her female teammates. Now exhausted, she sat down on the grass just outside of town. But her super-sense (via her hair) wouldn't let her rest, because OPG!Ash was right behind her! She quickly tried to yank his weapon out of his hand, but she had run out of web fluid.

OPG!Ash: HANDS IN THE AIR!

OMT!Mina: Ash, come on...

OPG!Ash: Suspect is armed.

OMT!Mina: With what? I'm out of webs now.

OPG!Ash: Get down on the ground!

OMT!Mina (trying to joke): So, which is it? Hands in the air, or get down on the ground?

OPG!Ash: You're under arrest-.

OMT!Mina: I just saved Station Square!

OPG!Ash: -for the murder of Sonic and Miles Prower.

OMT!Mina: Ash, come on, I-!

OPG!Ash: You have the right to remain silent! Anything you say-!

OMT!Mina: You don't understand!

She yelped as Ash fired a warning shot in the air.

OPG!Ash: You don't understand.

She got up, looking him in the eye.

OMT!Mina: I didn't murder Sonic and Tails, Ash. That monster wearing Amy's flesh did so, and I got rid of it a week ago.

OPG!Ash: How much longer are you going to keep up lying to me?

OMT!Mina: Can you just NOT be a G.U.N. officer for a second and listen to me? Do you really think I'm a murderer? ... You're in this to help people, right? Well, so am I. And the way to help right now is to just listen to me. Please... I want to fill the gap between us...

OPG!Ash: ... ...You have the right to remain silent.

OMT!Mina: What?

OPG!Ash (angered): Anything you say can and WILL be used against you in a court of law!

OMT!Mina: Are you really this spiteful of me?!

OPG!Ash: You have the right to an attorney!

OMT!Mina (genuinely scared): Ash! Stop!

OPG!Ash: Do NOT come any closer!

She held her arm out towards him as he readied his weapon.

Bunnie: Sugah-Mina!

EV!Sonic: That's enough!

Before OMT!Ash could attack OMT!Mina, EV!Sonic leapt in and got in his way, pushing him back.

OMT!Mina: What the-?

EV!Sonic stood in front of her, glaring at OMT!Ash.

EV!Sonic: That was attempted murder!

OPG!Ash: That was defence for this world. Her weapons were adapted from alien technology, a ship that fell here ten years ago.

EV!Sonic: But she was trying to reason with you!

OPG!Ash: Your original counterpart said it himself. The Seedrians would go back to the stars and tell others about this planet. I'm sorry, Sonic, but you're not on these islands all the time. He came and went. It happened three weeks ago! The Sonic and Tails of this dimension were murdered! They died in front of me where Mina was! Therefore, I had to take action on behalf of the Guardian Units.

EV!Sonic (sarcastically): The city's "golden age".

OPG!Ash: It comes with a price.

EV!Sonic: They were given the wrong warning. If I got into this universe sooner, I should've told them to run, as fast as they can, run and hide from people like you. Because the monsters are coming. Not just the Metarex, but this universe's human race.

OPG!Ash: Those are the people my approach represents! I did it on their behalf!

EV!Sonic: Then I should've intervened MUCH sooner.

OPG!Ash: What does that make you, Sonic? Another anomaly threat like that creature and Mina?

EV!Sonic walked right up to him, glaring angrily at him for that.

EV!Sonic: Don't challenge me, Ash Mongoose, because I am a completely new hedgehog. I could bring down your petty revenge with a single word if I wanted to.

OPG!Ash: Sonic, you're one of the most remarkable people I've ever met. But I don't think you're quite capable of that.

EV!Sonic: No, you're right. Not a SINGLE word. Just six.

OPG!Ash: I don't think so.

EV!Sonic: Six words.

OPG!Ash: Stop it!

EV!Sonic: Six.

He walked up to one of the G.U.N. guards behind Ash, taking down his earpiece for a moment.

EV!Sonic: Don't you think he looks tired?

The guard nodded as they stood down.

OPG!Ash: What the-?! We're close to the brink of salvation! You can't back down now!

G.U.N. Agent: Sorry, sir, but this is wearing you out more than it should be.

As OPG!Ash argued with the surrendering agents, EV!Sonic returned to where OMT!Mina was standing.

EV!Sonic: You okay?

OMT!Mina: I d-don't feel safe here anymore...

EV!Sonic: I've got a plan. Come on!

He grabbed her hand before leaping through the portal he came through with her.

OPG!Ash: Stop her!

But too late to do anything, the portal closed. Before he could give further orders, LM!Sonic promptly disarmed him and trapped him in an energy field.

LM!Sonic: Elise, scan the perimeter.

E-21: No other villains have slipped through, thankfully.

LM!Sonic lobbed the unconscious Snively into a portal before going to regroup with the other Quill Society members.

Dimension TNL-2015 - Quill Society HQ, Gust Planet

The team emerged out into the docking station, modelled after that of Marina Madness.

Zonic: I'm gonna go take this eyesore to temporary containment until we can send him back to his dimension.

Snively (angrily flailing around): I HATE YOU! I hate you, GAHAHAHAHAHAHAOW!

Zonic departed with Snively in tow.

OMT!Mina: Sonic...? What...?

EV!Sonic: How are you holding up? That... must've been awful for you.

OMT!Mina: It has... I... I was the only one who made it out of that, really... Amy... that thing took control of her...

EV!Sonic: Yeah. I heard what happened. I'm… sorry about what happened to your Sonic and Tails, Mina.

OMT!Mina: It's alright... I couldn't have done anything about it...

She started shedding tears as the others looked on, feeling really sorry for her.

Tekno: Oh, Mina...

EV!Sonic stepped forward, putting his hand on her shoulder as condolence.

EV!Sonic: You did your best, alright? Honestly, that's all I could ask for.

OMT!Mina: T-Thanks...

Stella went up to her and hugged her close.

Stella: Hey hey hey. C'mon, just breathe, imōto*. We got you. (*Japanese for "little sister")

Bunnie: We can't just send 'er back to her dimension. She's been doin' this all on her own...

OMT!Mina: I don't know how to fix this anymore...

LM!Sonic looked on, and a small instinct to do right kicked in, at least barely.

LM!Sonic: Alright, then. You're welcome to join the club.

OMT!Mina: You mean... I'm allowed to stay here?

EV!Sonic: Of course! I feel you deserve it right now.

EV!Sonic passed her her own interdimensional watch as she took it in. A way to finally escape from a harsh society, to be understood.

Tekno: There's only eight of us right now, but we're hoping to expand our group further to get more universes involved.

OMT!Mina: T-That's nice...

EV!Sonic: I'm gonna get you to our therapist for a cool-off, Mina. Let's go.

They headed off.

Stella: Should we continue our recruit search?

Tekno: Mhm. That's a good plan. Right, where to start first... What about with a couple of those from EV's dimension?

Bunnie: Which ones, sugah?

Tekno: Amy Rouge and Nicky. Two good companions of him.

Bunnie: Well, sure thing, pardner!

The two girls headed off to arrange this as LM!Sonic watched. Back in Dimension NS-2021, Ash had been arrested by the G.U.N. and his privileges stripped for abusing the army just for framing an innocent girl.

OPG!Ash: You don't get it! I'M the innocent one here!

G.U.N. Commander: Don't tell US that, sir. Tell it to the judge.

OPG!Rosemary and EV!Sonic watched themselves.

OPG!Rosemary: Thanks for helping save the city, by the way.

EV!Sonic: You're welcome. That Snively wasn't from this dimension, so we needed to do something about it. Besides, Mina said... she'd rather not come back to this universe anymore after all that happened.

OPG!Rosemary: Yeah... I understand. I was hoping to move out of this place as well. It's honestly as good as gone with barely anyone to protect it.

EV!Sonic: You sure? We're still in the middle of perfecting multiversal travel, and I really don't want someone like you suffering from glitching until we've got it all nailed down.

OPG!Rosemary: I'm sure. I'll try and work it out, but in the meantime, please take good care of Mina for me, okay?

EV!Sonic: Don't worry, Mrs. Prower, we will.

They smiled softly to each other before EV!Sonic made his leave, and Rosemary made hers.
