He knows he shouldn't be surprised, to come across a world like this; One that's been dominated and controlled. He was bound to come across one eventually with a whole multiverse to potentially explore.
Still. He can't help but let his curiosity get the better of him, and look around.
Dust found himself wandering through the streets of what was apparently called New Robotropilis. What he didn't expect was how people treated him so... normally. That, and there were some others who had also been Robotizised; Some with just limbs replaced, others changed entirely.
Part of him found it comforting. To be treated like a regular person, despite the circumstances this world seemed to be in.
He soon spots a large Garden however, and although he saw the only way in required payment, he could see the statue from the outside; It was of Sonic and Eggman, together. ...And seeing the name of said Garden over the entrance certainly helped put two and two together. It was a memorial.
It only left him with one question though; Who was in control, then? If neither Eggman or Sonic were around? Course, he was going to get an answer sooner rather then later.
The Phantom Ruby within his chest was emitting quite the unique energy signal. That and it's sudden appearance within the city had most likely attracted some attention, unbeknownst to Dust.
The Phantom Ruby... A gem thought to have been lost to his grasp. Or so Neo had thought. The moment the sensors within his capital registered the gems unique energy signature, was the moment he began his search for it. On its own it wasn't much, however, if he had it, it would make for a powerful weapon.
It was most certainly a surprise to see that the Ruby was embedded within an unfamiliar entity. At first he had assumed it was Infinite, who had disappeared shortly after the False Sonic beat him. He had assumed the gem was still embedded within the Jackal's chest, yet it was within a complete unknown. He hates unknowns.
Thus, the Overlord kept a close eye on Dust. Shapeshifting every now and again to look like one of many of his loyal subjects. Only stopping to reveal himself once the unknown made their way into the garden.
The metal overlord reforms himself from a silver puddle a few meters away from dust. He pauses for a moment, before speaking. "Beautiful, isn't it?"
