[h2]Eggman[/h2] "Damn that blue rat!" The scientist cursed, as the indicators on his newest creation were beeping red. The vast perspective of outer space was present to him, in all of its beauty. But his eyes were fixated in just one thing. Resplandescent emerald green of the mystical artifact, which steadily but surely was getting away from his grasp. He was done for. His plan was thwarthed. And he had yet to survive a reentry with a mecha savaged by the blue hedgehog, now turned in a golden comet of fury. It wasn't Eggman's best day to be honest. Just like many others. You almost were suceeding at the game of World Domination, and some kind of searingly-cute fast and vindictive blue critter ruined your day. Maybe he should have considering teaching instead of this. But, his gaze was momentarily averted, as something... else was in the cockpit. Squinting, he was taken aback by the suddeness of it all "Strange, I don't remember this mecha having a space-time anomal-GAAACK!" The next thing he saw as a dark room. "Nor I do remember a dark room. Hm." The rotund, almost spherical bald man with the foggy glasses and enormous, bushy moustache fell on his prominent butt, due to the sudden transfer, taking a second to adjust his glasses as his sight got used to his surroundings. [i]Where am I, exactly? Where's my trusted Egg Mobile? And more important, where is that damn BLUE RAT WITH THE MASTER EMERALD?[/i] Eggman mentally asked, as he took no small amount of time at looking, and inspecting his surroundings. Well he wasn't alone. There were others. Of all sizes, types and whatever species they all were. "Hm." He added as he got up, and begun to pace. There was one figure in the center of the room, who got his attention for the briefest of moments, going around a spiel about joining her in world domination. [i]Little girl wants to dominate the world. Sounds a little... too odd. And somehow familiar.[/i] Eggman twirled his moustache as he let the female go on with her spiel. It wasn't rude to interrupt, and she wasn't a blue hedgehog, so that had many points in Eggman's book. "Interesting..." He mused as she ended her speech. "...but I'll have to decline. I am busy in other projects, miss. Like working on a new line of extra-sized driving seats, egg-recipe books and of course, my own world domination schemes. Which, I think that would be pretty incompatible at this point, granted that you want to create a perfect world, possibly ruled by yourself..." He coughed, as his moustache twitched. "Although I must say, that space-time transition was certainly interesting. Was it the power of that mystical sword, or your own? Quite fascinating." He added as he walked some more around, a hand in his back. "Oh, and forgive my bluntness, miss, but I might suggest employing a different recruiting formula. I mean, I don't think people would accept such a deal blindly." Eggman added, before trailing off to examine the room, mumbling things like "fascinating", "I should take notes from this", and "I should kill that hedgehog".
