The War Control Room, Robo-Robotnik's Headquarters, Robotropolis, Robo-Robotnik's Native Zone

In a different universe from Mobius Prime, several monitors showed the victorious conqueror of the local Planet Mobius of the Cyborg Sonic traveling the Cosmic Interstate alongside a version of himself and a partially roboticized rabbit girl while all three were guided by the handheld computer in the completely organic Sonic's right hand. In front of those monitors, an Overlander, whose organic body had since been replaced with a dark blue and black metallic version of his former appearance, sat with a satisfied sneer of anticipation.

When the monitors previously depicted several worlds, including Mobius Prime, they each showed varying environments, but the Mobius Cyborg Sonic was native to fit the picture of "environmentally wrecked and socially unjust," from the industrial pollution on a global scale to the remaining living beings experiencing a bleak, terrible time before they finally met their ends. However, to Robo-Robotnik, his planet was finally perfect as he wanted it to be.

And soon, he will be ready to share that perfection, not only with other planets in his dimension, but across the whole multiverse itself.

"How in character of you, my old enemy," the fully roboticized dictator remarked in light of his Sonic acquiring help from the Prime Zone. Logically, though, he knew that Sonic Prime and the unknown cyborg would be potential threats to him claiming Giant Borg for his own, but that did not stop him from releasing an amused chuckle. "Fortunately, I know the age-old expression of fighting fire with fire."

Swirling his command chair to face a teleportation device in the works, Robo-Robotnik gestured for his Shadow SWATbots, a newer model of enforcers that shared his cosmetic look despite lacking a needed power boost, to surround the piece of machinery as it summoned his target from the world referred to as Anti-Mobius. In a flash, the despot saw a variant of Sonic the Hedgehog, who wore a black leather jacket, black boots, and vintage-styled shades, appear before him with an understandably confused expression.

"Hey," Anti-Sonic snapped as he looked over his surroundings. "Where am I?!"

Robo-Robotnik laughed at the situation brewing, which got Anti-Sonic's attention on him, before he then answered, "You're in my world now, not yours, my friend! But have no fear. I have an offer for how to best utilize your evil talents."

Soon enough, Anti-Sonic recognized Robo-Robotnik's general look and showed a fiendish smirk. "Ah, I getcha now. You're one of the bad Julian Kintobors in the multiverse. Doctor Ivo Robotnik, right? Or in your case, you went the extra mile with the whole robot thing."

Despite the evil Sonic's rough summarization of his nature, Robo-Robotnik let out an amused laugh in response, followed by introducing himself properly with a mock bow no less. "I prefer Robo-Robotnik as of now, my renegade associate. And while I should be pleased that at least one person in every zone discovers the Cosmic Interstate and the endless possibilities beyond, I prefer not to waste time while we have two goody-goodies with your likeness to destroy."

Anti-Sonic's evil grin grew wider at the news, prompting him to say, "I'm listening, Robo."

Gesturing the destructive hedgehog to the nearby monitors, Robo-Robotnik showed him their targets, explaining, "There's a particular artifact that my Sonic as well as his allies from Mobius Prime, including the same Sonic that left you in the captivity of that weak excuse of myself your world is home to, are hoping to obtain before I do. In my possession, however, the fate of all universes would be mine to command."

"And you want me to surprise attack those chumps while you get that weapon," Anti-Sonic surmised with a rather knowing smile that Robo-Robotnik surely recognized. The blue hedgehog who fought against freedom wanted power, even though he already expected a betrayal. Letting out a sigh, the Anti-Freedom Fighter then said, while showing a dirty look at the rabbit girl traveling with his counterparts, "I'm not against settling old grudges, or roughing up new people, but if you want my help, I want something in advance."

Failing to restrain a frown, Robo-Robotnik ultimately asked, "Such as what, most evil of all Sonics?"

Showing a grin in his direction, Anti-Sonic answered, "The plans for whatever doohickey that converts someone like me into a one hundred percent robot like what you are now."
