Here’s the 12-paragraph start to this event or whatever you want to call it- I’ll have a summary up soon too in case you don’t want to read all of this!

“So, Ivo, do you want to show me your progress on the interstellar amusement park? We’re going to need to go up there either way.” Nega finally said, after being silent for a while. He had to admit, even if this wasn’t going the way he wanted it to, he was interested in what this space amusement park was going to be like. Eggman was brought out of his thoughts of what he wanted it to be like by Nega’s voice, looking at him and trying to process what he said. After a moment, he finally realize what he’d asked, and he gave a nod. “Why, of course, Nega! Actually, I have the elevator for it going already!”

An elevator. To space. This was likely a prototype of some sort, too. That didn’t comfort Nega much, but then again, Eggman had created an amusement park like this before, right? And he likely had some kind of elevator before, otherwise, why would he try this now? “Well, lead the way then, Ivo.” Eggman nodded, leading the way to the massive white tower with glass on all four sides. It stood behind one of his many bases, and it definitely stood out. With a press of the button, the doors of the huge elevator opened, and the two men stepped inside. Eggman pressed the up button on the elevator, and the elevator took them up fairly quickly, but it didn’t feel like it was ascending as fast as it really was.

When the doors opened, they were greeted by the beginnings of what was once the Tropical Resort from Eggman’s first park. Some of the neon lights and buildings were already up, but much of it was still under construction. Eggman stepped out to lead the way forward, and Nega followed him. Already, Nega was pretty impressed by what he saw. Eggman was pointing things out and describing what they were and what was going to be added, going on about his visions for this area alone. And there were going to be about five areas. But Nega was only half-listening. He was trying to take this all in, but just ahead of them, he spotted something that looked very out of place. A large, metal ‘P.’ It looked like it was forcefully embedded into the ground, as if it had skidded in. There was no reason for there to be a ‘P’ as far as Nega knew- it was Resort, not Paradise, right? Ivo’s name obviously didn’t start with that letter, and it didn’t look like anything Eggman had ever created to Nega.

Eggman had stopped going on and had spotted the metallic letter, seeming confused by its presence. The first thing that came to mind was that his robots were messing around on him, but even when they did that, the result didn’t often look like that. The doctor looked at Nega, giving a shrug, then he went ahead and approached the thing. Nega followed behind, but he kept a distance, just in case. As Eggman approached it to look at the damage it caused, there was a sudden flash and the front of the letter disappeared. When it did, Eggman didn’t get to have a great look because a small silver robot that was unlike his own hopped out and jumped up on him. “Chu!” The little thing squeaked. It didn’t appear to actually be trying to attack. Two taller, silver robots with red accents took a step out of the metal letter to look around. Again, these robots were nothing like Eggman’s own.

These robots were the only things Eggman had noticed. “Are you all okay? Where did you come from?” Nega approached his relative’s side to get a better look at these robots, but he spotted something behind the taller ones. It appeared to be a person, but he was curled up on the floor and facing the other way. Nega cleared his throat to get Eggman’s attention, then pointed at the person. As he did this, the small robot jumped off of Eggman to allow him to get a better look. The two taller robots stepped aside, and the person slowly turned over a little to see what was going on when their shadows weren’t cast over him anymore. He appeared to be a young man- a young man in some sort of pain. And he was confused. He didn’t know who these two were. They almost reminded him of someone he’d used before, but they also looked quite different from him at the same time.

His back and shoulders were in pain from having his robots smash against him a few times during the rough landing he’d endured. Not only that, when they decided to get back up, they used him to push up off of. He was clearly having a difficult time standing up, so Nega took a step forward and reached a hand down to him. Eggman did the same for him, and the young man took both of their hands. The two helped him stand back up, and before Eggman could ask him what happened, Nega spoke. “Nice of you to drop by. Who might you be?” For a while, the cloaked young man didn’t answer, not looking at either of them. “Well...” He began. “I don’t really know who you two are. But I might as well tell you anyways. They call me Purge. Genius Purge, if you will. But, I suppose you can simply call me Purge.” He looked at the two doctors. “Now, who are you?” Already, he was able to distract himself from the pain he was in just by focusing on these two.

This time, Eggman was the first to speak. “They call me Dr. Eggman, but my actual name is Robotnik. Dr. Ivo Robotnik. You can call me any of those names, I don’t mind!” Purge raised an eyebrow at that name- Eggman. But, he supposed the man was a bit egg-shaped. A little unfortunate. He wasn’t sure why he’d let people call him that, but he wasn’t about to make a comment about it. Nega put a hand on his chest. “And they call me Dr. Eggman Nega. However, I prefer to drop that ‘Eggman’ name. I’d be fine just being called Dr. Nega, or just Nega. A pleasure to meet you, Purge.” Now this, Purge could understand. While he had a quite similar appearance to this ‘Eggman,’ it would make sense to not want to be called such a name.

Purge gave a nod. “It’s a pleasure to meet you two, too...” Just now, he started to have a look around the place. Some kind of...space amusement park in the works? Or was it just some fancy ideal vacation area? While he was pondering where he was, Nega watched him. Was this kid just what he needed to help turn Ivo back to his ways of trying to rule the world? It might’ve been a bit too early to judge for sure, but this kid seemed to at least share an interest in robots. If Nega could sway this kid into helping him, things could turn out the way he wanted.

Both were brought out of their thoughts by Eggman speaking. “So, do you like the place so far, Purge? It’s a work in progress, obviously, but one day, this great amusement park will bring happiness to everyone on the planet, I hope!” Purge looked at the doctor, then took a look around the place again. So far, it was pretty nice, but he felt like he sensed that this ‘Eggman’ wasn’t happy himself. Again, he looked at the doctor. “Why, I do like it, Robotnik. However, is it going to make you truly happy? It’s not right to sacrifice your happiness for everyone else’s. After all, I tried something a bit similar. I wanted my entire galaxy to be happy, but I wasn’t sacrificing my own happiness for it. I may have failed to make them happy, but that was because they were fools who didn’t realize how unhappy they were.” He gave a small shrug. Now wasn’t the time to rant about what had happened to him. “Is there some sort of deeper desire? Something you want to accomplish before you set out to finish this and make the planet happy?”

Eggman was surprised by what the young man had said, by what he was asking. Before he could get a word in, Nega looked at Eggman. “Yes, uniting the world, perhaps? That would contribute to their happiness, Ivo- world peace. The amusement park would be the cherry on top, but the most important part is having you bring everyone together, isn’t it?” Purge was pretty sure that he knew what Nega actually meant by ‘uniting the world,’ and he wasn’t too sure why he didn’t just say ‘taking over the world.’ If he was trying to censor his actual meaning to Purge, he’d need to, at some point, explain that it wasn’t necessary. But Eggman had looked down slightly, reaching up and rubbing the edge of his mustache with one hand. “That...would be nice...” Deep down, he knew what Nega actually meant, too, but it was a much nicer way of saying ‘taking over the world,’ and right now, that’s what he preferred to hear- ‘uniting’ the world.

Purge simply shrugged, laughing a little. “Well, I could help you! Maybe I can help this galaxy be happy! Together, we could achieve exactly what we want!” He would need to get to know these doctors better, but if this little space park was their doing, if these robots hurrying around to construct the place were their creations, he could use their technology and recreate his Ballistic Groove Gun. He’d achieve what he tried to over there right here! He would need to recreate a few of his other creations as well to simply get around the place, but it wouldn’t be too difficult. With the help of his own robots (who were simply watching the three converse at the moment) and the technology of these two, he was definitely going to be able to rebuild everything he’d need.

Eggman nodded. “I would be glad to have your help, Purge...” Nega nodded as well. “Quite thrilled, really.” He just needed to get closer to this kid. Possibly closer than Ivo would get to him. That would be the best way to go about trying to get things to go his way. By the end of all of this, hopefully, Ivo would be back to normal. Yes, this kid seemed to be exactly��what he needed...
