Final Trial.

[legionofmods]

[Eventually, after enough searching, a door seemingly appears from nowhere - leading out to a large circular room. There’s a handful of chairs, but not enough for all of you, meaning some of you might have to walk around for a bit. Which is more than fine - this place seems to be filled up to the brim with knick-knacks. Most specifically the clone pods adorning the wall here as well, as well as some fairly innocent lab equipment and scrap metal. Someone used to work here.

Once you’ve all gathered, a voice calls out to you. From within the area.]

DISCUSS WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND. ONCE YOU BEGIN TO GAIN A SEMBLANCE OF WHY YOU ARE HERE, WE WILL DISCUSS YOUR FUTURE.

[tedioustrivium]

[One or two goes straight through him for sure and he doesn't even blink. Mostly because he can't. He just sort of wobbles his hand.]

Golly, that smarts. I mean- oh how painful for an actual Demon of Ignorance and the personification of laziness.

Really now.

[legionofmods]

[...okay. Fly over and try to deck him.]

[tedioustrivium]

[The hit lands and he just gets fucking slammed into a wall.

Okay that did actually hurt quite a bit but he's not gonna show it.]

My good man, I can waste your time all year.

[legionofmods]

THEN DO IT!

[Another punch.]

[tedioustrivium]

[Okay that's. A dent in his torso now. That's... that's something.]

I am! By god, I was born to waste your time!

[legionofmods]

AND YOU’LL DIE DOING IT TOO!

[Oof. Here’s a big one!]

[tedioustrivium]

Well, you should die doing what you lo-

[And that's.

A fist right through his chest into the wall.

There's a big ol' hole in him now.]

O-oh.

[legionofmods]

[He just. Keeps going. That hole is lookin really spacious.]

[tedioustrivium]

[Huh.

This... hurts. He's never really hurt before. He's never really felt most things before. He just did his job and that was that. But he's had to think a lot since he arrived here.

Its been kind of... exciting. Learning things for once.

He does his best to grip onto Mecha's arm, aiming to waste the robot's time as much as possible. After all this trouble, its... important. That more time gets wasted.

He slumps.]

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[So, while this is going on, Liv is going to painfully limp-crawl towards the nearest approximation of shelter and start searching through those blueprints, looking for the robot design that seems closest to Mecha Sonic.]

[He might not be a creation of this dimension's Eggman, but there's clearly a similar line of thought being followed.]

[legionofmods]

[There is indeed a Metal Sonic in here! He is much smaller and cuter but seems to be a decent match.]

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[Ballin'.]

[Any exploitable points or failsafe devices?]

[legionofmods]

[No failsafe - the Doctor was bad at designing those. But it seems that a lot of his wiring is focused around the head area - to the point where removing that would be fatal.]

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[Dammit Eggman.]

[Still though, at least his design is shitty in multiple ways.]

[Liv peeks over whatever the hell she's hiding behind- shouting a plan is probably a bad idea a this point, but Mecha Sonic is occupied with Trivium...]

[So she's just going to try waving and catching someone's attention. Erik would be good, he's already done this once today, apparently, but she'll take whoever's paying attention.]

[If she manages to catch anyone's eye, she'll jerk a thumb towards Mecga Sonic and then mime shooting herself in the head. And repeat as necessary until they seem to get it.]

[umslay]

[The Magician holds up a screwdriver and points it at Mecha Sonic. Then he holds up a hammer. Then he picks up a few nails and hides them in his pocket.

He'll need a quick way to get onto the robot, though.]

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[Thumbs up, science bro.]

[Might need someone else to yeet him at the robot though, her tentacles aren't working great at the moment.]

[neednoaccuser]

[Are we yeeting people? Erik glances over at Ales and makes like a "can I pick you up and throw you" motion. It's fine. We're all doing fine.]

[umslay]

[He walks backwards, towards Erik. Do it.]

[neednoaccuser]

[This might be a little overwhelming, Ales, because Erik's basically seen no point in using the powers eating thing Heart-Shaped Herb gives him up until this point. The motion he makes to pick up Ales, lift him, and then yeet him directly at Mecha Sonic is absolutely superhuman and happens in a matter of seconds.

You know, also his aim is pretty good anyway so Ales is headed directly toward Mecha Sonic.]

[umslay]

[HE DID NOT EXPECT A HUMAN TO BE THIS STRONG.]

Waugh!

[He holds out his hands to brace himself for impact, and he hits Mecha Sonic's head with a thunk, his hat and wig flying off, but his tools are still on him. He's going to flip off Erik sometime later, but for now, one hand is holding onto a spike and the other jams the end of the screwdriver into one of the seams in Mecha Sonic's head.]

[legionofmods]

!

The screwdriver is successfully lodged, and you’ve got his attention as he turns the chain gun onto Ales, about to fire off.]

OFF OF ME, INSECT!

[umslay]

I'm a Teensie!

[He shoves his arm against the handle to pry off the panel.]

[legionofmods]

[Okay, you’ve got it off! Frustrated that his chain gun isn’t working, Mecha Sonic thrusts out his palm in a forceful strike, attempting to shove him off.]

[umslay]

Haha!

[He holds his screwdriver in triumph! Their victory is certain--]

OOF.

[And Mecha Sonic slaps him onto the floor, sending the screws and nails in his pockets all over.]

[conditionally]

[ Yomiel catches the movement that Olivia is doing. He doesn't do anything for a moment, but straightens up when the panel gets ripped off Metal Sonic and Ales goes flying.

He turns to whoever's nearby and clearly has a weapon: ] Hey, I need to you do me a favor.
