Chromatic Terras

I have to agree with you Tamu :D . It feels a little mainstream to like Knuckles out of all of them, but it's mostly just the fact that he's the one everything focuses around because of his childhood and being the last guardian (and now possible the only echidna) left. I also really like his role in the story as a whole also. He's not always there, and it's kind of like he leads his own team so he's on the same level as Sonic, rather than being looked at as the 2nd or 3rd strongest. On the DL side, I like(d) Dimitri. He was basically that guy to take our every single time, and he still fights on, being nothing but a head.

Ah, if only I could recall my dreams longer than 3 hours after they happen. I have some fun ones with all the anime I watch. i'm typically fighting something or just running around with the main cast.

(ooc: its cuase most of my classes are in the morning, then imma work, go to track, maybe anime club after which would go all night. by the end of it all, i'd only get short bursts to post unless i wanna wake up at like 7am lol) "So what are you two going to do now?" Knuckles asks Gamma ponders for a moment "The best course of action would be to learn about your worlds Robotnik. The schismatics to his robotic clones should be the same as my worlds in the base of it all." I should probably train some more. everything you've been doing doesn't exactly mean I can. Do some robo control out here with some chaos powers and then stop using it once I get a feel on the enemies tactics. I could even bring back some spare parts for you Gamma. "Affirmative." "In that case, I should go with you. I got nothing else much to do since my fathers watching the master emerald and relaxing every day isn't exactly my favorite option." Let's get ourselves some badniks then.

(OOC: Ugh this college life is gonna screw me over. I'm only gonna be here in the afternoons again so for you guys that's already late at night. I may go off on my own again to stay in the RP.) Knuckles, Gamma, and Ikiryo leave the hotel and start walking down the street. "That was truly relaxing." Gamma starts. "However, even though the time won't matter, I would like to return to my own world. It is not my place here, and they need me." Knuckles looks to him and smiles. "I understand completely. Leave to Skye and them. They'll find a way to get the dimensional watch fixed and then you can leave when you're ready. I think I may go with him Knux. "What!? Why?" Well I've been putting some thought into it. Although I've always been a part of your subconscious, I was born there. I may not have had a body, however I had my own mind. It gave me the information I know now. It's only right that I return with Gamma. "But what if something happens to you out there?" Gamma does a quick brain scan. "The inter-dimensional reaction should not be able to reach you Knuckles. You may get a sense of him, however you are no longer connected. He is his own being." "That doesn't mean I'm not concerned about his well being! Both of you! Everyone we met!" All the more reason I should go to help keep them safe. A pause rolls through as Knuckles stops. The three of them stare blankly into the distance as the realization kicks in. Ikiryo puts his hand on Knuckles shoulder. Don't worry, we'll fix everything. And we'll come back to visit someday too. I promise. Knuckles looks at him and smiles. "You better."

(ooc: I have returned! And my new apartment is great.) Knuckles sits in a sauna meditating. Ikiryo and Gamma laid in the pool area. "This oil hot tub they prepared for me is quite sufficient." Gamma says neck deep in And this massage is simply amazing. Excuse me miss? Could you get a bit lower on my back? "Why does your body require damage to feel relaxed?" It's not damage Gamma...it's the relaxation. Hey do you have any professionals for my robotic friend? *5 minutes later* "This buffer is peaking my exterior senses." Gamma says in a vibrating voice. I told you it's amazing.

Gamma looks to all of them and lowers his head. "Thank you guys. I don't know how to repay you." Knuckles walks up to him. "You got me back home. It's only fair we get you back." So I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty tired. Is there a hotel we can crash at for a bit? "There's bound to be one somewhere. Gamma you in?" "Affirmative. I will need to do a full systems check." "Ok cool. We'll catch up to you guys in a bit." (ooc: Move in day for college. Gotta pack, drive, and unpack, so I'll be back tomorrow.)

(ooc: evening sir gutsman. I believe I've seen you once before.) "Oddly enough. I'm not sure when I got it. when I awoke in Gamma world, it was already on me." "That is an inter-dimensional device which is able to acquire the location of hidden zones." Gamma says as he walks up to Knuckles and Dylan. "Shadow had sent me the data on the information he gathered from it while building the warp. During it's activation, it tends to pick up things from passing dimensions, hence why Knuckles and the katana he woke up with were taken to my world. Ikiryo is a phenomenon caused by my world, however his new existence may be a direct result from the overload of energy that had taken place to send Knuckles back. If my data is correct, that device is the only thing that can return me to my world." Knuckles looks to Gamma. "According to them, I've only been gone for half a day, where as in your world I spent almost 3 months with you guys." "Interesting. It may be a result of my world being one of the hidden zones. Because time and space isn't normally accessible, that means when transferring between them, you are only shot through at the time in which you are destined to enter." So does that mean Gamma can stay here as long as he wanted, and then when he went back, he would get sent at the same time no matter what? "Precisely." Gamma says raising his hand to where his chin would be. "Also Knuckles, when did you become familiar with inter-dimensional science?" "I don't know....the energy from that warp though rocked me pretty hard though. It may have done something."

Knuckles hands the watch to Skye. "I think this watch is the only reason I found that world in the first place. It must have connected to me somehow during its own warp and brought me to Gamma world. I'd have to look into it once it at least turns on again." Ikiryo and Gamma walk into the bar. Alright alright, I got it this time! So an Echidna and a robot walk into- "This joke cannot mathematically end funny." Gamma interrupts. .......you guys suck.

Knuckles pulls out the dimensional watch. "This is the only thing that has data on his world, and it apparently takes forever to charge. We can probably speed up the process, however I don't think it will be active any time soon. Ikiryo knocks Gamma in the shoulder, staggering him a bit. Come on, let's head back into the bar. I'm sure they'd like to get to know us better. Gamma nods and watches Ikiryo run off. He turns around again and looks into the sky. "I will come back for everyone." He then follows after him.

Knuckles looks confused for a bit, then it all makes sense now. "I see. So it seems like dimensional travel drops you off only at the time you need to be. Well to put it in short terms, I was thrown into a world that's on the verge of defeat. Gamma, Shadow, and that silhouette of me had helped me survive the time I was there. Of course, the silhouette was apart of my subconscious at the time. In any case, Shadow managed to find a way to send me back here, but not before the base we were in got attacked. I don't know the details behind it, but now Gammas in our world, and my 2nd subconscious is now running freely. I can only imagine Gamma wants to return to his own world, however I don't know how we'll be able to do it." Ikiryo runs over to Gamma as he starts off in the distance. If robots had changing faces, I'd say you look pretty troubled. "Shadow saved my life by sending me with you and knuckles." Gamma begins. "I don't even know if he's still alive....I can't stay here long. Who knows how many days or even years will go by while I waste my time here." Even still, you have to relax a bit. We can't just through things back to how they were with the flick of a button. "I am a robot. I do not have emotions." But you have a soul and that gives you thought. The same way you helped Knuckles get back to his world, Him and his friends will do what they can to help you.

Gamma looks around for a moment and then processes. "This is not my world." Ikiryos walks up to him and pats his shoulder. And I'm a close friend of yours. Gamma looks for a moment and then comes to the realization. "You are Knuckles under-sense. But how?" We're unsure of that ourselves. But right now, we've found Knuckles......."family?"....and we'll find a way to get you back to your world. Gamma nods and looks to Shadow for a moment. "I am sorry for the trouble I have caused." He then looks to Skye and Melody who seemed a little on edge. "I will my leave for the moment to consider the circumstances." I'll come with you. Also, I got by Ikiryo now. Knuckles watches them head out and sits down. "So can someone get me a drink? I've had a rough few months."

Knuckles and Ikiryos are confused as ever as gamma suddenly springs back to life. He jumps in the air and knocks them over just as the picture gets taken. Once Gamma pulls it together, he looks around at his surroundings and notices Shadow. He quickly grabs him and picks him up. "Thank god you're safe! What happen to the facility!? Where are the clones!?......Where's your lab coat?" Gamma says as he tries to make sense of the situation. Gamma, calm down man. We have a lot to tell you. "A new form of clone! Prepare yourself, you will not take us out so easily!" Knuckles gets back up and stands in from of Gammas blaster "Gamma wait, this isn't a clone! Just relax real quick.....and ease up, you're starting to choke Shadow." Gamma looks over to his other hand to see it gripped tightly on Shadow. He immediately drops him and lowers his blaster. "Whoops."

Knuckles runs back into the bar to meet Ikiryo. "How is he?" Still as dead as ever. I managed to open his power core though. It was hidden pretty well. "Ok good. Shadow, try releasing some chaos energy onto his core. Once he starts up, he should be able to run on his own."

(ooc: First plan in only plan Skye, that's how knuckleheads work) "It wasn't my choice Shadow, but right now we need your help. Gamma runs off of chaos shards just like metal sonic and shard. We need you to give him some juice to power him back up." Ikiryo drags Gamma into the bar and then topples over. Good god he's heavier than he looks. What does Eggman build these guys out of?

Knuckles caught a glimpse of Shadow just before he teleported out. "Crap he's on the move. Quick Ikiryo, grab Gamma and bring him to the front of the bar. I'll try to find Shadow On it. The two run back outside and split up.

"Ah right. Umm, as you can see he looks a bit different from me. His name is Ikiryo. He used to be a part of my subconscious, but due to a recent dimension I was in, now he's out and about." Hey there pops. Do you know where we can find Shadow? We need him to help out Gamma.

Knuckles and Ikiryo walk in. Ok ok I got one. So two Echidnas walk into a bar..... "Oh please dont..." Ah, killjoy....oh is that our dad over there? "Yeah, it doesn't look like Shadows with him however....did you just call him our dad?" Well I mean I'm somewhat you so wouldn't that be correct? "Oh, right." *walks up to Locke* "Hey father. It's been a while."

(ooc: haha, it looks like you guys either know what that name means or looked it up like I did. Don't worry though, it's not as bad as you think.) Knuckles and Ikiryo run through the forest as they approach a town. They set down Gamma and scope out the place. "It feels like my fathers presence may be nearby. He might know where Shadow is. That's our best bet of getting enough chaos energy to reboot Gamma." Let's check the bar over there. We could get a drink as well. It's been a while. "Indeed, but with what money? We've been away for a while now." I'm sure there's a bar brawl or two we can jump in on to have someone pay for us.

The Echidna throws both the Stalker and the Porcupine away. There, now I win.

Oh we will see about that.

Not if I throw you out, like I've thrown Finitevus off my island multiple times.

While you're changing, I'll take the lead again.
