INTRO POST

Hi, hello, how do you do

Welcome to ask-the-shatterverse

"What is that?" You might ask well its a roleplay blog run by the @composer-of-chaos

Simply send questions to any of the lovely characters from the show Sonic Prime (except sonic, shadow, and the chaos council), and they'll be answered here

"Why aren't the Chaos Council askable?" You ask. I don't like them simple as that

🥚NEW YOKE🥚

I'll split the characters into groups based on shatterspace. If you ask them a question, assume this is where they'd be answering from

Rusty Rose & Birdie

Renegade Knucks

Rebel Rouge

Denizen 1998 & froggy

Chaos Sonic

Squad Commander Red

🌴BOSCAGE MAZE🌴

Mangey

Thorn Rose & Birdie

Gnarly Knuckles

Prim Rouge

Hangry Cat & froggy

🏴‍☠️NO PLACE🏴‍☠️

Sails

Black Rose

Knuckles the Dread

Baton Rouge

Catfish & froggy

Captain Jack

🌌THE GRIM🌌

Nine

Grim Sonic

Grim Amy

Grim Knuckles

Grim Rouge

Grim Birdie

Grim Big

Thats all

Also, a lot of this will be filled with headcanon and such to flesh out the worlds and characters

The Grims don't speak btw they can only really gesture

Please specify the muse, otherwise ill have to guess who you wanted

This blog is open to all kinds of interaction, but any hateful asks against real people or groups will be deleted.

(Here comes that crossover attempt we were talking about! Rusty, Chaos Sonic, whomever is welcome to intervene!)

Kaia of @refractory-facsimile

-There's a crash from a dumpster in New Yoke as I suddenly warp into the city. A strange topaz kind of gem falls in after me, conking me on the head.-

Owwwwwwww...

-Poking my head out, holding the Warp Topaz in my hand, I quickly climb out of there.-

Gross. What a bad entry point. Where did this thing even take me?

-It is at that point that I take in the dismal atmosphere of this city and step backwards out of fright...-

Where...a-am...I...?! S-somebody?!

*unlucky for Kaia she kinda backs into Renegade Knucks*

🥚 Huh sorry i- wait a minute, you ain't a mobian. Who are you? The Council's replacement for Rusty? A spy? Talk robot, before i get smashy.

*knucks backs kaia into a corner with his questioning*

[refractory-facsimiles]

(Previous)

-I nervously wave at the Grim Trooper before following behind it and Rusty.-

Alpha? Do you mean there's more?

-Surprisingly, this doesn't surprise me as much as anyone might expect. From what one of my old teammates told me once, this Trooper wouldn't be the first mass-produced Sonic robot I've known about.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 there was more, Nine had created an uncountable amount of Grim Troopers with the Paradox Prism to wage war on Sonic. It seems that number has most certainly dwelled since

*Grim Sonic stops before the Citadel walls and a hexagonal column lifts you all up to the entrance, inside Nine is tinkering on something*

[refractory-facsimiles]

The way you say that... There's more than just a Grim Sonic, isn't there? Does that mean we'll run into another alter of u—oop, hello.

-I glance between Rusty and Nine, getting the impression there's more to him, too, but...not quite at the right angle.-

My gosh...was he converted too?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🌌 i can hear you, y'know. And to answer your questions, yes i made more than just a Grim Sonic, and no i was not 'converted'. What are you here for. I'm busy.

[refractory-facsimiles]

O-oh. Okay. Um... Sorry for getting the wrong idea.

-I hold my hands behind my back nervously, the shine in my irises forming droplets as I sheepishly look at Nine.-

You're him, then? Nine? I'm...I'm Kaia, and I'm in need of some repairs, cleanup, polish... I'm new to the Shatterspaces and had a pretty rough...landing via dumpster dive in New Yoke. But if you're too busy, I understand...

-My optics dart towards Rusty as my anxiety grows. I find myself clutching the cyborg hedgehog's forearm for safety.-

[ask-the-classics]

*Rusty glares at Nine*

🌌... fine I guess I'm not that busy

*nine clears off his workbench*

🌌 most of the damage is cosmetic anyway, this won't take long

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I nod and let go of Rusty, climbing onto the workbench and lying down.-

So, how many different models have you worked on? I'm the fourth of six in my line so far, but my creator has branched out to other series too.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🌌 none but I've willed 6ish into existence

*nine begins repairs on kaia*

🌌 so um how did you get here

[lumencrest]

-I try to imagine what the others must look like...probably only getting about half or two thirds of the list correct at best.-

I literally just found this weird topaz-like gem while I was exploring some mountains and it dropped me off in New Yoke City. It basically just activated as soon as I touched it.

...Which probably doesn't surprise Rusty a bit considering I had to pick her up from that weird Void on the way here. It kind of did the same to her when I lent it for safekeeping. I'd have held onto it myself, but my own storage is kind of...full, and Chaos Sonic already tried swiping my stuff once.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🌌 Interesting, Grim Rose, polish

*the Amy model Alpha Grim hands Nine a rag and cleaning supplies*

🌌 so theres another stone capable of dimensional relocation *nine mutters under his breath*

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I smile up at Grim Rose. Though she and the other Grims do put on an apt presentation, so far, I have no huge reason to distrust them or their maker. They're taking good care of me.-

I thought there might be one of you. Nice to meetcha, other Amy-bot.

-I sigh happily as Nine begins polishing my metal body.-

I have a feeling I'm going to have a big family of other me's...erm, other Amys by the time I'm done here, or something... The funny thing is I already feel closer to Grim Rose and Rusty than most of the other Eggman robots. Which, depending who you ask, is kind of amazing. Not that I dislike anyone outright.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*Grim Rose waves back*

🥚 thank you Kaia, i feel connected to you aswell

🌌 its probably because you all share a likeness.

[refractory-facsimiles]

It also helps she's the first one to stick up for me out here. No questions asked, even. Though...

-I look up at Nine curiously, question marks in my irises.-

Just how many Shatterspaces are there? Is there another version of you or us in every one? And if the Grim Troopers are your creations, what are the others like? Ooh! Is there one made after your—aaaaactually I can tell I'm kinda bombarding you at this point...

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🌌 5. Yes. Exactly the same as the ones you've met. No there isn't a grim Nine. It took you this long to notice?

*Nine wipes off his hands*

🌌 I'm done with repairs get off my table

[refractory-facsimiles]

To be fair, I've only met two, and I mistook one for somebody else... Sorry.

-I hop off the table immediately, not wanting to hold him up any longer. I still turn to Grim Rose and offer a hug.-

Let's hang out sometime, maybe? If you want. I dunno.

-I blink, turn to Rusty, and shrug.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*Grim Rose hugs Kaia and walks with Rusty and her back to the Shattercraft seeing her off*

🥚 i assume you wish to visit the other Shatterspaces?

[refractory-facsimiles]

Yeah, I'd love to! I feel like the more we travel together, the more I'm starting to calm down. Where should we go next? You know where to go from here, right?

-With that, I climb in and wave to Grim Rose once more.-

Exactly the same as the ones I met, huh, Nine? Somehow I wonder...

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 yes. I believe we should visit No Place next

*Rusty starts the craft and flies out*

[refractory-facsimiles]

So...Rusty. Which Shatterspace is your favorite? I can't imagine being too close to your creator...creators? I can't tell? I can't imagine it particularly enthralls you now, but then again, you do seem dedicated to keeping it a little safer...

-I sit back in my seat and think.-

Honestly, I kind of pine for the general location of my initial construction, but obviously not the bases my maker set up there. Though I'll admit, there's this lake with a smaller planet that occasionally appears over it which also holds some value to me. Maybe that's the shared data talking, but it's super pretty! And the less said about the manmade archipelago where I received upgrades, the better. Whole place is a deathtrap and all.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 i... do not have a 'favorite' Shatterspace it would be like choosing between my sisters.

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I smile over at the cyborg Rose.-

I like that answer. It really shows your heart.

It's funny...even our likeness has a lot of heart, even towards a 'bot like me. I wouldn't have blamed her if she was freaked out on sight, knowing there was more than just a Metal Sonic.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*rusty contemplates for a bit and then sighs as the craft nears the No Place gateway*

🥚you seem to hold a lot of respect for Amy Rose. It reminds me of how Sonic speaks of her

[refractory-facsimiles]

I just didn't really see the point in fighting her. Anyway, I probably should try to dial things back a little...

-I've really passed a lot of the time by talking. Maybe a little too much, I realize. I could have asked why our next destination was called No Place, but at this late stage I know I'll find out in a second. So, I relax and prepare for landing, letting my cyber-sis focus. I do, however, reach out a single digit to Birdie and gently pet the little Flicky on our way in.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*as the craft breaches the gateway kaia can see an infinite sea of water with a lone island to land on*

[lumencrest]

Oh. Yup. I get it now.

-Mumbling to myself, I look towards the island and can only wonder where exactly we'll find life here.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*the craft touches down and Rusty gets out of it*

🥚 it should be any second now

*as Rusty says that a large pirate ship comes into view*

[refractory-facsimiles]

What the...?!

-Amazed, I scramble out of the ship to stand beside Rusty and Birdie. If I had a jaw, it WOULD drop at the sight of the ship, but the parts of my face that CAN emote definitely reflect a sheer sense of awe.-

It's...huge... Is that them, cyber-sis? I-I MEAN Rusty?

-...Why did I rewind on that nickname? It was cute.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 this is the the Angel's Voyage, we are here to see the captain

*rusty uses her extendo legs to raise her torse up to deck pevel and wave the crew down. The Angel's Voyage anchors down and lets down a rope to climb up. Rusty drops back down to normal leg size*

🥚 after you

[refractory-facsimiles]

...That's some impressive limb length. You should see me with my hammer.

-I jump up and grab the rope, climbing up steadily.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*rusty follows Kaia up, when they both make it onto the ship they are greated by pirate versions of tails, big, and rouge, led by a Pirate amy*

🥚greetings Sister, it is good to see you once more

🏴‍☠️ Rusty Rose as i live and breath, 'ow've ya been lately

🥚 i have been adequate

[refractory-facsimiles]

Whoa... A whole pirate crew! So who's the captain here?

-I am completely unaware as I look around the ship and cheerfully wave to everyone.-

What a vessel...

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🏴‍☠️ this be the Angel's Voyage and i be it's Cap'n. Those around you be, Baten Rouge, Sails the Fox, and Catfish. Ya bare a striking resemblance to us don'cha, we "aven't missed a new Shatterspace openin' 'ave we?

🥚 you have not, this is Kaia she is from Sonic's world, she requested i help her meet other Rose's

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I smile at Black Rose cheerfully.-

It's nice to meet you! Yeah, I was what my maker calls a Metal Amy. Now I do my own thing, and as it so happens, doing that led me to Rusty. Wwwwwwith an asterisk, but nevermind that.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🏴‍☠️ That be mighty interesting my friend. Are ye staying long, in the No Place?

[refractory-facsimiles]

I think we have...one more place to visit after this? It's no huge rush, though. Besides, these Shatterspaces are so different I have LOADS of questions! Have you gone on any cool quests? Maybe a treasure hunt?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🏴‍☠️ i see, ye be a jabberjaw, well then. I don't mind telling a tale or two.

*black rose spends the next few hours sharing stories about the crews exploits, but i don't much feel like thinking up those stories so please use your imagination*

[refractory-facsimiles]

Woooooow... You guys are amazing! The stories about how you crushed the Council were my favorites. I hope the old captain is alright wherever he is.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🏴‍☠️ why thank ya Sister, we hope to se ya again, whenever that might be

🥚 shall we go now then Kaia?

[refractory-facsimiles]

Maybe we can adventure together! But for now, yeah, we should probably get going. Nice to meet you, Cap'n Rose!♡ Take care!

-I giggle as I turn to Rusty.-

Where does this take us next?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 the jungle

*rusty hops into the shattercraft*

[refractory-facsimiles]

The jungle, huh?

-I take my seat next to her and wink.-

Just any old jungle?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 specifically? We are headed tothe Boscage Maze

*Rusty powers on the Shattercraft and returns to the Void*

🥚 i hope you don't mind your paint being scratched *rusty tries her hand at light humor*

[refractory-facsimiles]

Hehe, I could do worse. We've been going all over today... It's kind of amazing. I hardly feel winded!

[ask-the-classics]

*as the craft breaches the Gateway they both can see an endless sprall of trees*

[ask-the-shatterverse]

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 get outta my head jerkhog, the only sonic here is me, and it's Chaos Sonic 🥚

[ask-cyber-sonic-verse]

Geez, calm down!

Wait, Chaos Sonic? I’ve heard that name before…

Anyways. *sigh* I can’t just go without knowing where I am and what kind of device I’m in. So if you want to help with that, I’d be very grateful.

Okayyyy… at least I now know what kind of device you exactly are..! But still not how to get out. …

-There's a crash from a dumpster in New Yoke as I suddenly warp into the city. A strange topaz kind of gem falls in after me, conking me on the head.-

Owwwwwwww...

-Poking my head out, holding the Warp Topaz in my hand, I quickly climb out of there.-

Gross. What a bad entry point. Where did this thing even take me?

-It is at that point that I take in the dismal atmosphere of this city and step backwards out of fright...-

Where...a-am...I...?! S-somebody?!

*unlucky for Kaia she kinda backs into Renegade Knucks*

🥚 Huh sorry i- wait a minute, you ain't a mobian. Who are you? The Council's replacement for Rusty? A spy? Talk robot, before i get smashy.

*knucks backs kaia into a corner with his questioning*

[refractory-facsimiles]

(Previous)

-I nervously wave at the Grim Trooper before following behind it and Rusty.-

Alpha? Do you mean there's more?

-Surprisingly, this doesn't surprise me as much as anyone might expect. From what one of my old teammates told me once, this Trooper wouldn't be the first mass-produced Sonic robot I've known about.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 there was more, Nine had created an uncountable amount of Grim Troopers with the Paradox Prism to wage war on Sonic. It seems that number has most certainly dwelled since

*Grim Sonic stops before the Citadel walls and a hexagonal column lifts you all up to the entrance, inside Nine is tinkering on something*

[refractory-facsimiles]

The way you say that... There's more than just a Grim Sonic, isn't there? Does that mean we'll run into another alter of u—oop, hello.

-I glance between Rusty and Nine, getting the impression there's more to him, too, but...not quite at the right angle.-

My gosh...was he converted too?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🌌 i can hear you, y'know. And to answer your questions, yes i made more than just a Grim Sonic, and no i was not 'converted'. What are you here for. I'm busy.

[refractory-facsimiles]

O-oh. Okay. Um... Sorry for getting the wrong idea.

-I hold my hands behind my back nervously, the shine in my irises forming droplets as I sheepishly look at Nine.-

You're him, then? Nine? I'm...I'm Kaia, and I'm in need of some repairs, cleanup, polish... I'm new to the Shatterspaces and had a pretty rough...landing via dumpster dive in New Yoke. But if you're too busy, I understand...

-My optics dart towards Rusty as my anxiety grows. I find myself clutching the cyborg hedgehog's forearm for safety.-

[ask-the-classics]

*Rusty glares at Nine*

🌌... fine I guess I'm not that busy

*nine clears off his workbench*

🌌 most of the damage is cosmetic anyway, this won't take long

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I nod and let go of Rusty, climbing onto the workbench and lying down.-

So, how many different models have you worked on? I'm the fourth of six in my line so far, but my creator has branched out to other series too.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🌌 none but I've willed 6ish into existence

*nine begins repairs on kaia*

🌌 so um how did you get here

[lumencrest]

-I try to imagine what the others must look like...probably only getting about half or two thirds of the list correct at best.-

I literally just found this weird topaz-like gem while I was exploring some mountains and it dropped me off in New Yoke City. It basically just activated as soon as I touched it.

...Which probably doesn't surprise Rusty a bit considering I had to pick her up from that weird Void on the way here. It kind of did the same to her when I lent it for safekeeping. I'd have held onto it myself, but my own storage is kind of...full, and Chaos Sonic already tried swiping my stuff once.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🌌 Interesting, Grim Rose, polish

*the Amy model Alpha Grim hands Nine a rag and cleaning supplies*

🌌 so theres another stone capable of dimensional relocation *nine mutters under his breath*

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I smile up at Grim Rose. Though she and the other Grims do put on an apt presentation, so far, I have no huge reason to distrust them or their maker. They're taking good care of me.-

I thought there might be one of you. Nice to meetcha, other Amy-bot.

-I sigh happily as Nine begins polishing my metal body.-

I have a feeling I'm going to have a big family of other me's...erm, other Amys by the time I'm done here, or something... The funny thing is I already feel closer to Grim Rose and Rusty than most of the other Eggman robots. Which, depending who you ask, is kind of amazing. Not that I dislike anyone outright.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*Grim Rose waves back*

🥚 thank you Kaia, i feel connected to you aswell

🌌 its probably because you all share a likeness.

[refractory-facsimiles]

It also helps she's the first one to stick up for me out here. No questions asked, even. Though...

-I look up at Nine curiously, question marks in my irises.-

Just how many Shatterspaces are there? Is there another version of you or us in every one? And if the Grim Troopers are your creations, what are the others like? Ooh! Is there one made after your—aaaaactually I can tell I'm kinda bombarding you at this point...

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🌌 5. Yes. Exactly the same as the ones you've met. No there isn't a grim Nine. It took you this long to notice?

*Nine wipes off his hands*

🌌 I'm done with repairs get off my table

[refractory-facsimiles]

To be fair, I've only met two, and I mistook one for somebody else... Sorry.

-I hop off the table immediately, not wanting to hold him up any longer. I still turn to Grim Rose and offer a hug.-

Let's hang out sometime, maybe? If you want. I dunno.

-I blink, turn to Rusty, and shrug.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*Grim Rose hugs Kaia and walks with Rusty and her back to the Shattercraft seeing her off*

🥚 i assume you wish to visit the other Shatterspaces?

[refractory-facsimiles]

Yeah, I'd love to! I feel like the more we travel together, the more I'm starting to calm down. Where should we go next? You know where to go from here, right?

-With that, I climb in and wave to Grim Rose once more.-

Exactly the same as the ones I met, huh, Nine? Somehow I wonder...

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 yes. I believe we should visit No Place next

*Rusty starts the craft and flies out*

[refractory-facsimiles]

So...Rusty. Which Shatterspace is your favorite? I can't imagine being too close to your creator...creators? I can't tell? I can't imagine it particularly enthralls you now, but then again, you do seem dedicated to keeping it a little safer...

-I sit back in my seat and think.-

Honestly, I kind of pine for the general location of my initial construction, but obviously not the bases my maker set up there. Though I'll admit, there's this lake with a smaller planet that occasionally appears over it which also holds some value to me. Maybe that's the shared data talking, but it's super pretty! And the less said about the manmade archipelago where I received upgrades, the better. Whole place is a deathtrap and all.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 i... do not have a 'favorite' Shatterspace it would be like choosing between my sisters.

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I smile over at the cyborg Rose.-

I like that answer. It really shows your heart.

It's funny...even our likeness has a lot of heart, even towards a 'bot like me. I wouldn't have blamed her if she was freaked out on sight, knowing there was more than just a Metal Sonic.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*rusty contemplates for a bit and then sighs as the craft nears the No Place gateway*

🥚you seem to hold a lot of respect for Amy Rose. It reminds me of how Sonic speaks of her

[refractory-facsimiles]

I just didn't really see the point in fighting her. Anyway, I probably should try to dial things back a little...

-I've really passed a lot of the time by talking. Maybe a little too much, I realize. I could have asked why our next destination was called No Place, but at this late stage I know I'll find out in a second. So, I relax and prepare for landing, letting my cyber-sis focus. I do, however, reach out a single digit to Birdie and gently pet the little Flicky on our way in.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*as the craft breaches the gateway kaia can see an infinite sea of water with a lone island to land on*

[lumencrest]

Oh. Yup. I get it now.

-Mumbling to myself, I look towards the island and can only wonder where exactly we'll find life here.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*the craft touches down and Rusty gets out of it*

🥚 it should be any second now

*as Rusty says that a large pirate ship comes into view*

[refractory-facsimiles]

What the...?!

-Amazed, I scramble out of the ship to stand beside Rusty and Birdie. If I had a jaw, it WOULD drop at the sight of the ship, but the parts of my face that CAN emote definitely reflect a sheer sense of awe.-

It's...huge... Is that them, cyber-sis? I-I MEAN Rusty?

-...Why did I rewind on that nickname? It was cute.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 this is the the Angel's Voyage, we are here to see the captain

*rusty uses her extendo legs to raise her torse up to deck pevel and wave the crew down. The Angel's Voyage anchors down and lets down a rope to climb up. Rusty drops back down to normal leg size*

🥚 after you

[refractory-facsimiles]

...That's some impressive limb length. You should see me with my hammer.

-I jump up and grab the rope, climbing up steadily.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*rusty follows Kaia up, when they both make it onto the ship they are greated by pirate versions of tails, big, and rouge, led by a Pirate amy*

🥚greetings Sister, it is good to see you once more

🏴‍☠️ Rusty Rose as i live and breath, 'ow've ya been lately

🥚 i have been adequate

[refractory-facsimiles]

Whoa... A whole pirate crew! So who's the captain here?

-I am completely unaware as I look around the ship and cheerfully wave to everyone.-

What a vessel...

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🏴‍☠️ this be the Angel's Voyage and i be it's Cap'n. Those around you be, Baten Rouge, Sails the Fox, and Catfish. Ya bare a striking resemblance to us don'cha, we "aven't missed a new Shatterspace openin' 'ave we?

🥚 you have not, this is Kaia she is from Sonic's world, she requested i help her meet other Rose's

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I smile at Black Rose cheerfully.-

It's nice to meet you! Yeah, I was what my maker calls a Metal Amy. Now I do my own thing, and as it so happens, doing that led me to Rusty. Wwwwwwith an asterisk, but nevermind that.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🏴‍☠️ That be mighty interesting my friend. Are ye staying long, in the No Place?

[refractory-facsimiles]

I think we have...one more place to visit after this? It's no huge rush, though. Besides, these Shatterspaces are so different I have LOADS of questions! Have you gone on any cool quests? Maybe a treasure hunt?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🏴‍☠️ i see, ye be a jabberjaw, well then. I don't mind telling a tale or two.

*black rose spends the next few hours sharing stories about the crews exploits, but i don't much feel like thinking up those stories so please use your imagination*

[refractory-facsimiles]

Woooooow... You guys are amazing! The stories about how you crushed the Council were my favorites. I hope the old captain is alright wherever he is.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🏴‍☠️ why thank ya Sister, we hope to se ya again, whenever that might be

🥚 shall we go now then Kaia?

[refractory-facsimiles]

Maybe we can adventure together! But for now, yeah, we should probably get going. Nice to meet you, Cap'n Rose!♡ Take care!

-I giggle as I turn to Rusty.-

Where does this take us next?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 the jungle

*rusty hops into the shattercraft*

[ask-the-shatterverse]

(Here comes that crossover attempt we were talking about! Rusty, Chaos Sonic, whomever is welcome to intervene!)

Kaia of @refractory-facsimile

-There's a crash from a dumpster in New Yoke as I suddenly warp into the city. A strange topaz kind of gem falls in after me, conking me on the head.-

Owwwwwwww...

-Poking my head out, holding the Warp Topaz in my hand, I quickly climb out of there.-

Gross. What a bad entry point. Where did this thing even take me?

-It is at that point that I take in the dismal atmosphere of this city and step backwards out of fright...-

Where...a-am...I...?! S-somebody?!

*unlucky for Kaia she kinda backs into Renegade Knucks*

🥚 Huh sorry i- wait a minute, you ain't a mobian. Who are you? The Council's replacement for Rusty? A spy? Talk robot, before i get smashy.

*knucks backs kaia into a corner with his questioning*

[refractory-facsimiles]

Rusty? My big brother? What?

-Droplets in my irises and a very worried expression overtaking me, I hold up my hands defensively (one of them still holding the topaz).-

I don't even know where I am! I just fell in that dumpster thanks to this weird gem I found! Who is this Council?

-Smartly, I refrain from asking him by his assumed name...-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*Renegade halts a bit*

🥚 Wait wait wait, what Rusty are you talkin' 'bout? And why ain't you fighting back, you ain't a very good killer robot

[refractory-facsimiles]

I'm not a killer robot though! I don't wanna fight someone I just met. That's crazy!

-I resist the urge to press my panic bow, pretty darn certain it won't reach anyone here.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 Yeah sure, I'm gonna trust the word of some bot who came outta nowhere

*maybe if kaia was lucky, she wouldve found Knucks at a time when Rebel was at his side, without Rebel there Knucks has a tendency to just see red*

[refractory-facsimiles]

Yes, sure, I get it. I'm a stranger. But I'm not... I-I ran away from my creator. I'm not your enemy!

-I cower in fear, hunching down in my corner of the alleyway.-

Don't hurt...me...

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 now i get it, those eggheads programmed you with a sappy backstory. Nice try knockoff, but ain't pullin' one on Renegade Knucks

[refractory-facsimiles]

Eek! No!

-I can't hold it back anymore. Absolute panic kicks in and I press the button on my bow, sending out a distress signal to...gosh knows who. I do it without thinking at all, and it takes a moment before I realize what I just did.-

-...And I begin to shake in fear of whatever comes next.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*the sound of metal steps approaching echoes as the ever egotistical Chaos Sonic slides into the alley.*

🥚 H-HEY KNUCKLEHEAD

🥚 Not this jackass-

*before Knucks can even finish his sentence Chaos lnocks him out with a punch to the jaw at lightspeed, sending the echidna far away*

🥚 I-I take it that distress call came from you- Rusty?

[refractory-facsimiles]

Who is Rusty here?! Who are YOU?! Eggman never told me about you!!

-I spinjump to my feet and morph one arm into a hammer for self-defense, starting my engines, exclamation marks in my irises.-

Great. Just great! I'd have preferred if the distress signal didn't attract anyone.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 C-c-cool it why don't ya. If you aren't Rusty than you must be someone new. Nice to meetcha I'm Ch-chaos Sonic, the greatest hero this world's ever known.

[refractory-facsimiles]

Chaos Sonic...

-Even I can tell he's full of it. I slowly nod, deadpan...and scan him immediately. Something isn't right here, and I emulate my source's idle pose, which is a convenient way for me to hide the Warp Topaz in my free hand.-

Uh...huh. I'm Kaia. No offense, but right now I'd appreciate it if I could please get some info on what this place is or what's going on here. The other guy was pretty on-edge, and I don't blame him, but...you know. I'm scared too.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*your scanners nearly overload just reading Chaos Sonic, being a construct of the Paradox Prism he's baked in it's energy and now that you're scanning, you notice the ground beneath you also seems to have energy running off it*

🥚 w-well Kaia, you in New Yoke City, ain't it nice

[refractory-facsimiles]

...The word I was gonna use was "dreary," to be honest. Oppressive, even.

-I look off in the direction Knucks was sent.-

Probably the work of this "Council" that Kn—the red guy accused me of being part of.

-...The way Chaos Sonic talks isn't doing any favors either, I realize. Could he be part of them? Not to mention the scans... Wait, maybe I could direct the conversation to that. I don't think it has to do with either artifact I have on me. Or at least, presumably have on me. The Topaz is still here, I'm sure the Emerald is intact.-

What's this weird energy all around us? Do you feel it too?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 awhh you think there's something between us? Sorry Not-Rusty but our glorious Chaos Council wants me to remain a b-bachelor.

[refractory-facsimiles]

Uh...no. And my NAME is KAIA.

-I huff, letting out steam. I'm not surprised at the connection; I knew that from a mile off. But now he's getting on my nerves.-

Anyway, it's been nice talking to you but I've gotta find a way back home. Have a nice day!

-I quickly jet off to go find Knucks.-

Shouldn't have engaged in the first place, "hero" my shiny metal tail. I hope that alternate Knuckles is okay.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 L-leaving so soon? And you haven't introduced me to those fancy r-rocks you have on you.

*Chaos joins your side while running backwards*

🥚 Stay awhile why don't ya, it's not like you c-can outrace me

[refractory-facsimiles]

Go away!

-I quickly accelerate to speeds that put me on par with Sonic's...but this proves difficult as a counter against a robot of Sonic! Worse yet, he knows about the gems! Thinking quickly, I swing my hammer hard at Chaos Sonic to knock him back!-

SOMEBODY HEEEEELP!!

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*chaos dodges the swing with a last second duck, it didn't need to be last second, he's just playing around*

🥚 ooh i like this game, heh, missed me, now ya gotta k-kiss me. To bad i d-don't have any lips,

*Chaos speeds far infront of Kaia and then runs directly into her with a headbutt into her dome*

🥚 W-will a head suffice? HAHAHA

[refractory-facsimiles]

OWW!

-The attack connects, causing my vision to glitch for a moment, not to mention the fresh dents in my bangs. In the recoil, my panic button is pressed again. I don't realize this, too busy setting up an electric barrier around myself to deter any further contact.-

Get away from me, you creep!

-I hurry off in the other direction again, desperately trying to shake him off. I never thought this would be what has me reconsidering how I approach the real Sonic if we ever meet again.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 C-come on baby, don't block me out, we c-could be a real power couple

*chaos zips alongside Kaia, begining to run circles around her which begins to create a harsh tornado*

🥚 we c-can at least take this relationship out for a spin, maybe take a ride on the cyclone

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I try to resist the currents, blindly firing lasers into the afterimages from Chaos Sonic's zipping and zooming in the vain hope of hitting him. My shoes begin to slide on the pavement as I lose my footing.-

NonononononononoNO—

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 I've been told i i have that affect on ladies, the effect that lets me sweep them off their fee-

*luckily for Kaia, a certain pink cyborg punches Chaos in the face with an extendo arm, making him spin out into a wall*

🥚 Greetings, are you okay?

[refractory-facsimiles]

-This thankfully keeps me from blowing away, and I look onward at the fresh hole in the wall in amazement and relief. Sighing gratefully, I turn to the cyborg...and find myself looking up at her in awe. She's so tall...-

You...you saved me. Thank you... Are you another version of my source?

...Who are you?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 your source? You must be from Sonic's world, i am Rusty Rose. And you are?

[refractory-facsimiles]

K...Kaia. Kaia the Metal Amy.

-Instantly I feel a little safer around her than anyone else here that I've met. A little patience does do wonders for that.-

I get it... You're who Chaos Sonic and the other Knuckles were talking about this whole time. I didn't think I'd run into another robot like me. Or, well, I guess you aren't fully robotic...

Hey, on the off chance you know more than that clod in the other corner that was trying to flirt with me... Do you know what's up with the strange energy signatures all around us? I can feel it in the ground...in him, unfortunately... I almost wouldn't be surprised if it was coming off of you as well. I know it doesn't have anything to do with what I have on me.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 that is most likely the result of the Paradox Prism, this world and it's inhabitants were all made by it. Along with all the other Shatterspaces.

*Rusty looks around for Knucks and hoists him over her shoulder*

🥚 I apologize if Renegade gave you trouble

[refractory-facsimiles]

Shatterspaces...? Plural? Hehe, well, I guess either way, I can't really go by "twin" anymore. More like...well...however...many...alters there...are?

-I smile...super awkwardly, before coming closer.-

...I still have so many questions. I've never even heard of this Paradox Prism. Everything here is so new! Heck, I wasn't even expecting you knew Sonic! ...Then again, Chaos Sonic exists...

Nevermind! Do you mind if I follow you? I wanna learn more, and I could use somewhere to get the dents and everything sorted out. And just...a change of scenery from the dismal surroundings here.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 Nine should be able to patch you up, come with me, we'll need to get a Shattercraft from Headquarters

*rusty leads you through a pipe to Resistance HQ, where she drops Knucks off in a chair*

[refractory-facsimiles]

Is there anywhere I can put any...particularly volatile luggage, Rusty?

-I hold up the Warp Topaz in my hand.-

I'd stash this in my frame, but I'd have to swap out the gem that's currently in my frame. I certainly can't imagine you have the space for it. And Chaos Sonic was interested in both.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 i see that could be an issue, i have room within my own chest storage if you'd like me to hold onto it

*rusty opens her frame up and Birdie flies out before landing on her finger*

[refractory-facsimiles]

You had a Flicky in you the whole time...?!

-I blink incredulously before handing the Warp Topaz off to Rusty.-

Just be careful with it. This thing's super powerful. I mean, not that my Chaos Emerald isn't, but this brought me here! I don't want anything happening to you after we just met.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 this is Birdie, she used to power my systems, but now she and i are on better terms

*Rusty inserts the Topaz into her chest cavity, and then seemingly disintegrates into thin air, leaving Kaia and Birdie alone witht he Shattercraft*

*meanwhile in the Void between Shatterspaces*

🥚 i sense i have made an error

[refractory-facsimiles]

I can't believe they—OMIGOSH!

-I stifle any further outbursts as I jump in fright. She's gone already!-

Wh... Are you kidding me...? Rusty...?!

-I reach out where she once was, scared out of my mind.-

[composter-of-chaos]

*birdie lands on your shoulder and pecks repeatedly trying to snap Kaia out of her fear quickly*

[refractory-facsimiles]

-I glance at Birdie worriedly.-

She'll...she'll figure it out, right? You guys have experience in hopping between these spaces...right? Ugh, maybe I should've given her the Chaos Emerald...

-And then I look down at the KO'd echidna.-

And of course he'll be a while. That flirtatious jerk really did a number on him.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*Birdie leads kaia to to the Shattercraft with incessant pecking and circling*

🥚 tweet tweet

*meanwhile in the void with our aimlessly floating cyborg*

🥚 i have definitely made an error

[refractory-facsimiles]

A-alright! You're right, maybe we can find her! I just hope you know how to work this thing...

-Hopping into the Shattercraft, I nervously sit down at the controls...and sigh in relief.-

Oh wow. Actually, this looks pretty easy. I was told the Eggmobile wasn't hard to pilot, but if I can handle this, then...that'd be child's play! Let's go, Birdie!♡

-I start the ship and take off to go find Rusty between Shatterspaces.-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*as you enter The Void, Rusty spots you and makes her way over using rocks as leverage to fling over. She smacks into the side of the Shattercraft*

🥚 greetings, may i enter?

[refractory-facsimiles]

Ohthankgoodness—Uhh, yeah, hop in!

-I quickly open the ship for Rusty.-

I'm sorry. I did warn you it was volatile, but I didn't think this would happen so fast... Are you okay? I almost thought we'd lost you.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*rusty hops into the craft*

🥚 You need not apologize, it was foolish of me to place a foreign object into my chest cavity without scanning it first. On the upside, it seems to have dwelled its volatility

*she points out The Grim gateway in the distance*

🥚 That is where we are headed Nine has kept permanent residence in the The Grim

[refractory-facsimiles]

How foreboding...but if you trust him, then I will to.

-We slowly begin to close in, and I glance at you compassionately.-

Hey, Rusty? This might be too sensitive, but...about your conversion. And technically Birdie's, going off what you said earlier. How did it all come to that? Was that all because of this Chaos Council that the other robot kept hyping up? I'm...hardly from the kindest of origins myself.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 i am afraid i cannot tell you much anything about my life before Roboticization. My memory from before was wiped. But i know the Council was at fault, the Council is responsible for everything about how New Yoke City is now.

*Rusty looks back to Kaia*

🥚 i am sorry you have.. unsavory origins.. would you like to talk about them?

[refractory-facsimiles]

Well, for starters...

-I sigh deeply.-

As I said, I am a Metal Amy. A robot copy of the real deal. Part of a line of Metal Fighters created with the biodata and DNA of their sources, meant to defeat and replace them. Easier said than done, of course, especially when fresh out of simulations you're like me and happen to be touched by a surprisingly kind reception from your template.

After being outright forced to fight and failing that, I was reworked into this near-perfect replica form as a decoy. My revised job would be to lure Sonic into a trap for my master, and I was trained more aggressively on my samples to achieve this.

Still didn't work out. I found one of our world's seven Chaos Emeralds with my best friend...and that one little gem changed everything.

-I press the middle button of my blouse, opening my chest compartment.-

As you can see...I still keep it with me. Ever since I ran away from my maker, it's been my main source of power, and has even helped me learn some new abilities to help others like me.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 that is rather unfortunate...

*the craft goes through the gateway landing in front of Nine's Citadel*

🥚 we have arrived

[lumencrest]

Oh? Oh! Great! Wow, this didn't take long at all.

-Hopping out of the ship, I take a look around.-

You can feel the loneliness in the air. Your friend Nine lives here? I guess it gives them plenty of space to work...judging from this huge base.

-Would anyone be out there to greet them?-

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 I would not exactly call us 'friends', but yes, Nine lives here

*in the distance a silhouette of Chaos Sonic can be seen approaching, but it's not him, it's Nine's Alpha Grim Sonic*

🥚 that appears to be the welcoming committee

[refractory-facsimiles]

EEP! HIM again?!

-Initially, I jump behind Rusty. Nervously peeking out, I zoom in...and that's when I notice something different about "Chaos Sonic".-

Wait, that's not the same model. What's going on here? Is...is he friendly? I can't tell.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 this is the Alpha Grim Sonic Trooper. If it were still hostile it would have attacked already

*the Grim tilts its head and peaks around rusty, curious about the new face*

*rusty steps in front of the grim sonic's vision*

🥚 We are here to see Nine

*the grim nods and begins to lead Kaia and Rusty towards the Citadel*

[ask-the-shatterverse]

(How's Skylanders?)

*A skeleton wearing navy blue armor falls from some portal in the sky to the ground of New Yoke. Right in front of Rebel Rouge, he seemed to not be built by the Chaos Council. But he did seem to be robotic in some way.*

@the-skeleton-of-steel

🥚 what the? Not again. *she sighs* Get up skeleton, what's your story

[the-skeleton-of-steel]

*The skeleton slowly got up. Then you see it wields a sword and a spiked shield. But he begins to speak in a frightening, but calm manor. He seemed to be a warrior.*

"Ah…Where in Skylands am I? And who are you?"

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 Skylands?.. is that some new Shatterspace? And i could ask you the same Boney. I'm Rebel, who are you

[the-skeleton-of-steel]

*He stood on his feet, standing tall.*

"Hmm. I must be in a new dimension entirely. Anyway, I am Chop Chop, last Elite Arkeyan Warrior, and a member of the Skylanders."

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 That's a whole lotta words Chop Chop, so, how do you feel about totalitarian governments

[the-skeleton-of-steel]

*His voice got serious.*

"I'm familiar in them…familiar in fighting tyrants too. Why do you ask?"

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 I needed to make sure we could be allies, and given that reaction i believe we will get along swimmingly

[the-skeleton-of-steel]

"Wonderful. So who is the tyrant that needs to taste steel?"

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 that would be the Chaos Council *Rebel points to the giant egg*

[the-skeleton-of-steel]

*He turns to look at the giant egg. He's quiet for a while. Before speaking again.*

"Who else is part of the rebellion? Or are you all that's left?"

*He seemed ready to help…ready to fight the Chaos Council…no matter what.*

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 oh no theres more of us, we just mostly stick underground, come on I'll introduce you

*Rebel leads Chop Chop through a pipe*

[the-skeleton-of-steel]

*He follows, seeming to keep an eye behind then... like he's making sure no one attacks them from behind.*

"How long has the Chaos Council had control of your world?"

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 honestly? Not long, but they have a scary impressive turnaround on industrial building and deforestation

*Rebel steps into the Rebellion base and steps aside so Chop can also enter*

🥚 we had them beatand gone for a bit, but they're like cockroaches

[the-skeleton-of-steel]

"You can't truly remove them, so they use robotic troops, far less worry about a betrayal."

*In his mind, he's glad they're doing this tyranny correctly. Won't stop Chop Chop from slicing them to pieces but still.*

*He carefully walks into the rebel base.*

[ask-the-shatterverse]

🥚 welcome to the resistance Chop Chop. I'd like to introduce you to Renegade Knucks and Comander Red

🥚 how ya doin'

🥚 we trust this guy boss?

[ask-the-shatterverse]

Are crossover rps allowed?

It really depends on the crossover. What i do or dont allow mostly depends on how much i care for the franchise or if sonic already crosses over with it

But your welcome to send in anything

[ask-the-shatterverse]

soooooo how's it going ever since sonic left? good? awesome? terrible?

🥚eh, it's been goin' alright. The council hasn't been super active since Sonic left, but we still miss him, y'know. Don't tell him i said that

"...At least the water's breathable here. Though, I wish you all would stop tele-"

"Wait... is that a pirate ship??"

Aw, shucks.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*Black Rose notices blaze and turns the voyage in her direction. Upon reaching her, a ladder descends into the water for Blaze to climb*

"A...my? No, this is definitely some sort of alternate version of her."

"Ahem, um, yes. Some help would be great."

Okay actually going up a ladder with only your arms in kinda difficult... she manages, though.

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*When Blaze nears the top, Black Rose takes her hand to help her onto the deck*

[set-it-all-ablaze]

"I... um, got lost." Well great, now she just looked stupid to this other Amy...

"...My name is Blaze. Do you think you could you tell me about... where I am? What is this place?"

[ask-the-shatterverse]

*Rose was starting to trail off as she spoke but caught herself*

🏴‍☠️ahem, sorry, would ya like a Sea Dog?

*she holds up a platter of sea dogs to blaze*

[dweetling]

Send " ❗❗❗ " for your muse to suddenly and unexpectedly kiss mine.

[ask-the-shatterverse]
