*meanwhile, in a glitchy void, filled with raw elements of mobius, broken of reality as of its like its old husk, chaotix, cuffed in chains yet he being free, is floating in the limbo unconscious, flashes of the memories start to appear in his mind, meeting wacky, joining MPA, fighting Pcx, getting some of his energy stolen by Zs'Skayr, the underground, then new unknown ones came, the swirling eye of what is to be vox, a silhouette of..sonic? Then he woke up only to see the void, he looked around in confusion and panic as he was worried about the others, trying to connect back, he then sees the remains of what is to be the gift that he was going to give her on her birthday in the underground...a broken braclet, he then hears a voice*

???: ***それで...ついにエキドナを起こしたんだ...***(translation: so..you finally wake echidna)

*chaotix looks around to see where the voice came from*

chaotix: ..w-whos there...

*suddenly white strings wrap around his arms and they restrain him, he struggles a bit as he tries to get into his beast form but it..doesnt work, then the mysterious figure emerges from the shadows*

ptd NMI: ..dont fret...your in my realm...

chaotix: ..what are you trying to do keeping me here...makoto...

ptd NMI: dont call me that...and your needed in here...someone in gold told me so...in promise of freedom..

chaotix: so you seek freedom to take away mine?!

ptd NMI: its....morely complicated..i had sought freedom for decades..serving the lacuna for...who knows how long...i may be on a leash now...but ill soon be free from any grasp...and ill go from great lenghs to accomplish that...

chaotix: ..didnt fatal already told you, "if you want purpose to become purpose"?

ptd NMI: ...i thought so too...but i later realized i was only served to be a puppet until they let me go...

chaotix: ...you know that wasnt true...you were free beforehand when you GOT here...you WERE FREE...

ptd NMI: ...i was...the fresh air..the green grass....the many lifeforms...the environment compared to this...*nihility*...its...breath taking....if only i ever had a purpose down here...and now i do...

*he then takes his leave as his body fades into the darkness, chaotix shouts to him*

chaotix: makoto, come back, MAKOTO! ...dammit...

*he then looked around again, only to see a still working computer with "fatal error" written all over it, he hesitantly takes his hand on the screen*

chaotix: ...ok....lets see if i can-

*he then slips right through the screen, flashes of blue, red, black, and white show all over him, like a trance, he then winds up in a dark place, filed with red texts with what is to be links, he then floats to them*

chaotix: ...what...is this?

*he then looks up, to see "TOP SECRET: SMM", he then then looked back at the red text, showing names of each and every member*

chaotix: ...[*deep breath*]...theres only one way out of here...and i could warn the others..

*he then touches one of the links, sucking him in*

***he now remains searching, for what is to be the MPAs one and only downfall, either enticipated or not, it isnt going to be good***
