Simone: Welp, it's not the best life. But I saved the world!

Simone Robotnik was sitting in a prison cell by herself. It had been a few months since she had turned herself in and life wasn't very good. Bad good, small room, she hadn't showered in a while, but she was still content. She was still happy to finally eat things, she wasn't going to be picky.

Normally, she didn't get too many visitors. But today would be different.

Sally: Excuse me? Robotnik?

Simone jumps a little, turning to see who was there.

Simone: Oh, hello there princess!

The Mobian nervously stood there for a second before speaking again.

Sally: Umm... Sorry, just a little nervous. Umm... I just... I guess I'm just... confused?

Simone: About...?

Sally: Why...? I mean, don't get me wrong! I love the whole "not fighting for our lives" thing, but... I still don't understand why you did all of this! Why... Let me go?

Simone: Princess, I already told you guys. I just don't want to waist my possibly eternal life hurting people!

Sally: But you'll waist your life down here?

Simone: Better than hurting people.

Sally:... Well...

She nervously taps her foot.

Sally:... I-I just...

Sonic: Hey, Sally!

The voice echoed from down the hall, making the squirl jump a little.

Sally: O-Oh, hey Sonic!

Simone: Heya Sonic!

Sonic walks over to the cell, leaning on the bars.

Sonic: So. Simone, was it?

Simone: That's right! Thanks for remembering!

She says happily.

Sonic: Just coming to check on ya. Y'know, to make sure you're still here.

Simone: Well, you have nothing to worry about! I'm not going anywhere!

Sonic:... Hmm...

He gave the woman a puzzled look.

Sonic: Well, honestly I'm glad to see the change!... I just hope it's real and not another trick.

Simone: It is not.

She said calmly.

Sonic: Heh, alright Eggman!... Eggwoman? Egggirl? Egglady? Eggma'am? Eggette? Egggal? Lady Egg? Omelet? Eh, I'll think of something eventually.

He says with a smile on his face.

Sally: Sonic...

Sonic: Hey Sal, it's gonna be okay. It's over now...

He smirks, looking back to Simone.

Sonic: Well, at least I hope!

Simone: I can't control the actions of others, though I gave my command of a complete ceasefire so there shouldn't be any more conflict. Well, Y'know. Unless some other malicious force rears its ugly head.

Sonic: Heh, good!

He pats Sally on her shoulder.

Sonic: Cmon Sal, let's get back to the reconstruction!

Sally:...

She looks back at Simone one last time before nodding, following sonic as they walk away.

Meanwhile—

Surge:...

We see the green Mobian overlooking a group of badniks cleaning up rubble, replacing roads and rebuilding buildings. Her foot couldn't stop tapping as she carefully watched each one, just looking for an excuse to start ripping the robots apart.

Kit: Hey, Surge!

She spun to face the voice.

Kit: How're you doing? Isn't this great!?

Surge: I- Uhh... Yeah, whatever.

She says, looking back to the robots.

Kit:... I don't trust it either...

Surge: Good, then keep an eye on these gizmos with me, they could flip at any moment.

She looks back to see the robots, still gardening and cleaning as they were programed to do.

Shadow: You can feel it too then.

Kit jumps in surprise, Surge unfazed as they both turn to see the hedgehog standing there. Behind him was Omega, an angry glit in his optical sensor. 

Shadow: Everyone else has been blinded by the possibility of and end to the fighting, but we all know Eggman isn't just giving up. We're pulling together a few others, gonna finally squash this roach. Are you with us?

Surge: Hell yeah!

She says, clenching her fist. Shadow then looks to Kit.

Kit: I-I'll do it if you think it's a good idea Surge!

Shadow: Good. Meet us behind the castle tonight. 

She turns and walks away, Omega silently following with.
