"You don't!?" Yumiko felt a little bit freaked out by this revelation that she was the only one that was hearing the strange music that felt like it was coming from a bad dub of an anime. Not helped by how the music quickly changed again to something more serious despite the fact that the only problems that the group were currently facing was the crowd of people trying to get Banjo and Kazooie's attention.



Kazooie however had managed to scare away the girl by cawing at her, causing her to run away crying...Only for her to vanish shortly after moving away from the group, something which Yumiko noticed and caused her eyes to widen. "That girl, she just vanished into thin air." Yumiko pointed out frightfully before turning back towards the three, where Volga had also managed to silence the crowd with his spear.



It was around this time that Yumiko had noticed a truck that was about to leave to a neighbourhood. She overheard two workers from the truck that was about to leave. "Why does Mr Throndyke want all of this food. It looks like he bought five store worth's in this truck!" One of the workers pointed out as the other explained.



"He did, he wants to drive to the poorest part of Station Square later so he can eat it in front of homeless people." He said, which disgusted Yumiko, but it had given her an idea regarding the truck, mainly that the group should go into it to reach the neighbourhood that the Boy and Spike were in. It helps that the workers, as they were heading towards the front part of the truck, had left the back of it open so anyone can enter it.

"Mr Throndyke? Like the Throndykes from my book about Sonic? Wait a minute...I might know who might have taken Spike." Yumiko thought.

"Shouldn't we close the back of the truck first?" One of the workers said pointing back to...The back of the truck.



"Meh, why should we care. That stupid rich man is getting what he want's right? As soon as we finish delivering all of this food then we can get the hell away from him and not deal with the Throndykes for awhile." He said as the two got into the truck and began to prepare to get away. Yumiko quickly turned back towards her team.

Unfortunately due to the fact that Volga had shown off his dragon spear, the crowd remained silent, for one second, before someone shouted out.

"He has a spear...A magical spear, which mean's he's special!" The crowd began to charge towards Volga, Banjo and Kazooie as Yumiko quickly yelled to the trio.



"Guys, that truck over there, we can hitch a ride with it to get to the neighbourhood! Even if it might be rude to hitch a free ride without the drivers noticing us." Yumiko pointed to the group as she quickly raced towards it.

"Trust me, if we take this truck then we can get to the neighbourhood. I have a hunch that it will. Besides we can use it to get away from the crowd." Yumiko said as she quickly got into the back of the truck. The two drivers didn't seem to notice her as she did, not that they would care anyway, the truck didn't have a side mirror to see the group anyway.

However the truck soon started to drive off, albeit slowly as Yumiko held her hand out for either Banjo or Volga to grab so she can pull one of them into the back of the truck. The one who didn't grab Yumiko's hand just had to get into the truck by himself.

Behind Yumiko there was a lot of boxes that had gallons of different kinds of food that was to be delivered to a rich man named Thorndyke.

"Quick grab my hand!" Yumiko yelled out again as the crowd continued to give chase towards Banjo, Kazooie and Volga.

[Deleted]

To Kazooie's apparent glee, her plan to scare away the child had succeeded. The girl ran off quickly, and Kazooie was so happy with herself that she didn't even notice when the girl seemed to vanish from view. Banjo, however, did notice, and became quite perplexed.

"Yeah, I saw that too." He said to Yumiko, who claimed to see the same thing.

It seemed as though their plan to take a ride on the bus became unnecessary, as two truck drivers nearby very openly chatted about taking some food to a man named Thorndyke. 

"Thorndyke, huh? Sounds like a real jerk." Banjo said.

It sounded like the man was the sort of cartoonish caricature of a spoiled rich man you'd see in a TV show or comic. He apparently wanted to take a bunch of food, only to eat it in front of the homeless. Who would even go through all that effort in order to do so? This whole world apparently ran on cartoon logic. if that was the case, this universe seemed to be a bad place to live. In any case, it seemed like they had a new way to move forward. They could hitch a ride in the back of the truck, which the two truck drivers didn't even close. How convenient.

"Uh oh." Banjo said, realizing the crowd was starting to move towards them. They didn't have time to be given such attention. Yumiko ran towards the back of the truck, and Banjo followed suit, moving as fast as his legs could carry him and grabbing onto Yumiko's hand. With that, the three were on the truck. Volga would probably have to float in or something.

"That was....interesting." Kazooie said. 

[Dragon Knight Volga]

Volga nodded as Yumiko pointed out the truck. Howver, the crowd decided to crowd him like they had Banjo and Kazooie. The Dragon Knight was less than thrilled at the idea of humans grabbing at him and he used his dragon wings to quickly take to the air. Volga swiftly flew into the back of the truck. He hoped they would be able to deal with this greedy child quickly.

[Deleted]

"I know right? I hate rich people like that, but unfortunately, were going to have to see him because I think he's related to Spike's whereabouts." Yumiko said to Banjo.



With Banjo and Kazooie joining her in the truck and Volga swiftly getting into it, the group quickly lost track of the crowd as the truck picked up speed and moved out of the alleyway that it was in and further into the city as the Crowd soon vanished and the group were hopefully be taken to the neighbourhood where Spike was taken too.

As the journey continued Yumiko looked at her team. "That was close. I'm not much of a fan of small spaces like that crowd was making, but anyway you might be wondering why I think this truck will take us to the rich neighbourhood. Besides the fact that the man that all of this food is being delivered too is a rich guy." Yumiko looked at the food that would unfortunately go to waste once Throndyke get's his hands on it. All of this food can be used to help with the famine back at the Life Sphere.



"Before you came to my apartment I read a book about this universe's Sonic's time in this city and how he hung out with a rich snobbish family known as the Throndyke's. Putting two and two together, I have a feeling that Thorndyke Sr. has a son who has taken Spike to his family's manor in the neighbourhood that all of this food will be taken too." Yumiko finished explaining as she continue to watch the truck drive through Station Square.

During which the group passed through numerous odd things along the way to their journey to the Rich Neighbourhood.



Such as a large stadium that was created for a special event known as the Station Square Olympia that was due to happen next year in this world.



Numerous stores already making merchandise of Banjo, Kazooie and Volga, but not Yumiko as she looked at the stores, unnerved by how quick they were in making merchandise of her teammates. "This city really likes odd things." Yumiko said as a truck passed by a news anchor who was currently in the middle of delivering a story.



"And this is Scarlet Garcia, reporting for you live at Station Square, about how the Station Square killer has claimed a tenth victim this week, leaving the man only as a pile of organs in an alleyway." Scarlet smiled.

"And cut."

Before sighing and taking out a cigarette and smoking it as hard as she could. Her cameraman was looking at her, feeling bad for Scarlet and her mundane life as a news reporter for Station Square news.



"Look at us Bob, we almost got that dream position in the next city over, we would of been on a professional news station instead of the run down one were already in. This city is a pig stain Bob. I'm glad Dad isn't alive right now to see what my life has taken me." Scarlet shook her head in sadness.



"The only thing keeping me happy in this city is my wonderful partner." She blew a puff of smoke as Bob looked down sadly.

"I'm sorry about your life Miss Garcia. It must of been hard when you were left an orphan at age 15. With no answers about the death of you're father and how your mother died saving countless orphans from that Yeti in the mountains outside this city." Scarlet looked back at Bob, like he just said something that made her angry.



"Oh, I knew what happened to my father now...And sometimes...Sometimes I wish I didn't." Scarlet walked away as she sighed.

As the truck kept on moving they passed by three kids standing by a nearby store. They looked bored, especially the blonde haired girl.



"Hey we know what we should do?" Frances said to her friend Danny and Helen, the former sighed.



"What Frances?" Danny rolled his eyes.



"We should go back into the woods again and make sure the water isn't polluted again!" Frances suggested an idea, that had already been done. Helen face palmed.



"Frances, we already done that..." Helen pointed out, as Frances looked down.



"Oh yeah...Is...Is this it until Highschool?" Frances wondered as Danny and Helen looked at her with confusion.



"You know, were just going to stand around and do nothing. Then when it's dark, we'll go home, eat, sleep, maybe watch TV or talk to our parents in between that and do it all again the day after that, then the day after that. Even if we have school we'll end up doing it after that, our lives feel like were on repeat until it will probably change once we get into high school..." Frances pointed out, the three remained quiet.

Until Helen broke it.



"Do you think, we'll split up and go our own ways once we do start High School?" Helen wondered, Danny answered for her.



"With the way things were going, and how he often acts. I'm afraid that's going to happen. With Sonic gone, things are just...Boring between us. We don't have the same interests, hobbies and other such stuff. Were going to find people that do in high school, but we'll hardly see each other, if ever once we do go to High School and graduate." Danny pointed out the sad truth.

Causing the three to remain silent over their bleak high school future...




WHELP, time to see what Yumiko and co are up too!



The truck soon arrived at the gates of a rich neighbourhood just as Yumiko predicted. "Here we are, this must be the rich neighbourhood." Yumiko looked from the side of the truck, before looking forward, where she saw Station Square from a far.

"It's outside the city too. Also I noticed that this gated neighbourhood doesn't have anyone looking after the gates. How are those drivers going to get in?" Yumiko wondered for her team, only for the gates to suddenly open and for the truck to drive into the neighbourhood anyway, the gates closed soon after as the truck containing the group entered the neighbourhood.

"Weird, anyway, this is our stop, we can locate the Thorndyke's manor by foot since we don't have to worry about anyone crowding around us...Unless it's a very populated neighbourhood." Yumiko proceeded to jump out of the truck. Since it had slow down enough for the group to safely jump out of it without falling over and hurting themselves.

"So where's Mr Throndyke's manor again?" The First driver asked to his partner.

"I don't know, they all look the same. Just keep driving." He shrugged as the truck continued to drive away further into the neighbourhood as Yumiko looked around.



There was no regular houses sans the one behind Yumiko, only manors, manors that were all up for sale and didn't have anyone living in them. They also looked just the same to Yumiko's surprise. "Look at these mansions, they all look the same. How are we going to find the one that the Throndyke's live in?" Yumiko wondered.





And that was when she noticed a mail box in front of a manor behind her which read "THORNDYKE" Along with another mailbox from the next residence over, which unlike the manors in this neighbourhood, was a normal looking house. It also had a mailbox also that one read "C. THRONDYKE (No relation to my stupid sons.)" These two houses definitely had people living in them. They were probably the only two houses that had people living in them in this neighbourhood.

"Which do you want to go in first?" Yumiko asked her team, hoping that one of the two houses has got to have Spike in it, she was prepared for what the Throndyke's had in store once they realised their presence. 

[Deleted]

In the back of the truck, away from the crowd, things began to wind down. The only thing they had to do was wait until they got to where they needed to go, wherever that was. 

"It's funny, Kazooie, but this place is totally like a cartoon. I mean, how are people already fawning over us?" Banjo asked rhetorically.

"You're not wrong, funnily enough. The only person who acted remotely normally towards us was that guy from the store."

"That's a good point, honestly. Also, did you see that girl disappear from view after you scared her off?" Banjo asked Kazooie.

"That brat? No." Kazooie stated bluntly.

"I'm just starting to think that this place really is sinister like Yumiko said. What do you think, Yumiko?" Banjo asked, turning towards the most normal of the group. He also turned towards Volga, who hadn't spoken much so far. "Do you have any opinion on this?" Banjo politely inquired.

"Please don't bother him. Just tell me when we get there." Kazooie said.

It took a while longer, but they had finally made it to outside of town. The obvious problem, however, was that every house looked the same. Every single one looked like it had been copy and pasted, save one. This immediately caught Kazooie's attention.

"That one." She said, pointing to the smaller, more modest house.

"Why that one?" Banjo asked, confused.

"The others aren't unique. They're exactly the same as one another. Thus, the one that stands out is the important one. I say we search that one first." She explained.

"Alright then. You make a good point." Banjo said, trusting Kazooie's judgement. Her Genre Savviness was hardly ever wrong.

[Dragon Knight Volga]

Volga remained silent as Yumiko spoke, until Banjo got his attention. He snorted at the bird before answering. "This place is peculiar, but it shouldn't interfere with our mission." The Dragon Knight stated simply. When the others left the truck, Volga followed.

[Deleted]

Yumiko looked back at Banjo and Kazooie when they asked her what she felt about the current world they were in while they were still in the truck. "Oh, I still felt dread when we came to this world, and now I have a sick feeling in my stomach about the Neighbourhood that were going to enter. Because something tells me it's going to get crazier once we actually do find Spike." Yumiko said as the truck soon arrived.

"Well you have a point, although to avoid the person in this house having an over the topic reaction with seeing you and Banjo again. I should go answer the door." Yumiko said to Kazooie as she walked towards the small house and proceeded to press the doorbell for it.

Where it gave off a strange ear grating tune...



Yumiko looked back at the group, confused with the doorbell, but regardless, nobody opened the door, and judging from how dark the windows in the house were, nobody was even in the house. It was abandoned just like all the manors in this neighbourhood sans the one beside this house, Yumiko looked back at the group.

"This house is empty, nobody isn't answ---HEY!" Called out an older man as a figure in a motorcycle soon rode up from the group who smelled like alcohol, and took off a helmet to reveal an elderly looking man on the motorcycle. Yumiko walked towards the man as he looked at the group.



"Judging from your appearances, i'm guessing you're trapped in this world and from another universe?" The man said as Yumiko shook her head.

"Actually, were not trapped since we have our own gateway back to our world. We came here to look for someone." Yumiko explained as the Man shrugged.



"Please don't tell me your looking for my annoying Grandson Chris? He's probably back in his room doing weird stuff like he always does." The Man put the helmet he was wearing on the motorcycle.

"On the contrary, were looking for an animal...A realistic animal. A hedgehog named Spike. Does this Chris have Spike?" Yumiko asked the man before looking at the mailbox.



"C. Thro---It's Chuck, just call me Chuck." He smiled at the group as Yumiko smiled.

"Well Chuck, i'm Shirasagi Yumiko." Yumiko decided to let her team introduce themselves.



"Well Yumiko, yes. I did see Chris holding what looked like a hedgehog earlier, presumably Spike. He said he was taking him into his room in the manor beside my house." Chuck pointed to the manor that the group didn't investigate yet.



"It's no use just going through the front door. You'll be stopped by my idiot son and his aloof wife and their going to bombard you with questions, I can however get you into the back so you can either enter through the backdoor, or you can climb to Chris balcony. Since he's rich he has a balcony." Chuck explained, Yumiko rolled her eyes.

"Who would of guessed." She said. She decided to wait to see if the group would want to climb to Chris Balcony to rescue Spike or sneak in through the back door in the manor kitchen.

"By the way, I noticed that you're son's manor has two door less sheds for some reason, why is that? Don't you need to put stuff in there?" Yumiko asked while Chuck frowned.



"Ugh my idiot son made those two sheds on purpose to mess with our employers. His twisted mind caused them all to quit sans our butler and maid, but that's because he doesn't care much about them. Poor guys, I would hire them if I could, but my son stole all of my credit card accounts after he admitted me into an asylum when he turned ten with his soulless adopted parents and so i'm forced to rely on him." Chuck revealed.



"And this is after my wife died around that time." Chuck finished, Yumiko just looked at him in shock and gave him a pat on the back, before looking at everyone.

"We should be quick in rescuing Spike once we decide on how were going to sneak into the manor." Yumiko suggested, not wanting to meet Chuck's son...Or any of his son's family.

[Deleted]

Kazooie was half right. Though Spike wasn't being kept in the smaller house, it was still quite important. The man who lived there, Chuck, was sympathetic to their cause, it seemed.

"Thanks for being nonchalant." Kazooie said, glad they didn't have to make a big deal about the situation.

"Yeah, same here. I'm Banjo. That's Kazooie." Banjo said to the old man.

The larger mansion would be their next destination. Unfortunately, they'ed have to sneak in, either climbing up onto the balcony or sneaking through the back door. Banjo and Kazooie pondered which would be their best bet. 

"If Chris is a spoiled brat, he probably doesn't have his room on the ground floor. Let's climb up the balcony. It'll be faster." Kazooie suggested. Banjo gave a thumbs up in approval.

As they planned their approach, Yumiko and Chuck continued speaking. Suddenly, Chuck decided to give them some rather depressing details regarding him and his grandson. His grandson was a total jerk, stealing his grandfather's wealth before sending him to an asylum. Banjo had a large frown on his face, while Kazooie seemed to be holding back laughter. When Chuck mentioned his wife dying, Kazooie covered her beak with her wings, trying to keep herself from bursting into laughter. Banjo, mortified, backed away from the group to speak to Kazooie.

"What are you doing?" Banjo said, a hint of disgust in his voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kazooie said, snickering. "It's just so damn grim. It's so exaggeratedly tragic and mean-spirited, it's like-"

"A cartoon?" Banjo said, interrupting.

"Exactly!" Kazooie exclaimed.

"...Not funny." Banjo muttered, returning to the group. "So sorry about that. No hard feelings, and we're sorry for what you've been through, Chuck."

"Of course we are. Now, how about we climb up to the balcony?" Kazooie said, backpedaling from her previous insensitive behavior.

[Dragon Knight Volga]

Volga waited with Banjo and Kazooie until an old man rode up on a motorbike. He, along with the rest of the group, introduced himself. "I am Volga." The Dragon Knight said plainly. Volga couldn't help but growl a little in the direction of the mansion at Chuck's sad tale.

[Deleted]

"You seem distant, you're probably the nicest one." Chuck said to Volga and how quiet he was.



Chuck and Yumiko looked at Kazooie when she tried to hold in her laughter over Chuck's over the top backstory, comparing it to a cartoon. Yumiko gave Kazooie a silent disapproval look as Chuck wanted to yell at her, but he knew it was no use, she was right. His backstory was over the top.



"She's right you know. My life prior to moving to this neighbourhood was over the top, and it was all thanks to my stupid sons. My second son didn't even care that I got sent to the asylum, in fact, he invested all of my stolen money to make his own service that nobody uses. It's about to go bankrupt." Chuck revealed as Yumiko patted him.

"Let's just go to the balcony and rescue Spike, before anyone else notices that were here." It seems it was decided that the group were going to break into Chris room on the balcony. Yumiko followed Chuck to the back of the manor where they quickly reached the bottom of where the balcony was as Chuck pointed up to it.





"That's it, that's my grandson's balcony, unfortunately I don't have the key to it. Chris took all the keys to do something related to Sonic." He revealed as Yumiko looked up to the balcony.



"Don't worry." Yumiko boosted herself up to the balcony with magarudyne, landing on it before looking down at everyone.

"We'll find a way in. We don't need a rope as well." Yumiko said before looking at the door to Chris room. It was dark...But there was a spotlight shining down on something in the dark room...

Or should I say someone.


(He's doing this to let everyone know he's ok.)

It was Spike, he was trapped in a glass dome, confused as to where he is, Yumiko gasped.

"There's Spike, Chris really did took him, and that dome doesn't even have air holes. He could suffocate if were not quick enough." Yumiko tried to open the glass balcony door into Chris room, but unfortunately, her hopes that Chris may of left it unlocked was dashed when she realised that it was locked.



"And it's locked." She moved away from the door, sighing in response. She didn't approval breaking into someone's house, but it was to save someone and from the looks of it, there was only one way to get into Chris room to save Spike.

"Should we, break this door open?" Yumiko asked the group, a bit hesitant since everyone was on private property.

Well except for Chuck, who was related to the Throndykes and he probably wouldn't mind if they broke through the door. 



"Woah, I didn't know that girl was magical. I thought she had weapons or something?" Chuck was surprised by Yumiko's abilities more then the fact that Volga was a warrior or that Banjo and Kazooie were talking animals.

[Deleted]

To Banjo's relief, Chuck didn't seem to mind Kazooie making fun of his sad backstory. He seemed to be well aware of how crappy his life was. That was a relief, all things considered.

"Alright, let's do this..." Banjo said, standing below the balcony. It was pretty high up, but not impossible to get to or anything. Banjo just jumped high, and let Kazooie's flight close the distance. Once it was close enough, Banjo grabbed the balcony's ledge and climbed up. A bit harder than simply casting a spell, but not too hard.

Now that they were on the balcony, they could see inside the room through a glass door. Inside was dark, but thanks to a little light, they could see...Spike! He was in plain view, right in front of them. He also seemed to be doing something interesting with one of his paws...

"Nice." Kazooie said to herself.

They might've been able to retrieve him easily, except for the fact that the door was locked. Banjo and Kazooie didn't have anything on them to pick locks, and chances are, nobody in the group did. They'ed most likely have to break it open.

"Think you can use some of your magic to help with this door? Maybe a fire spell to melt it?" Banjo suggested.

"You do realize we have Volga with us, right? He's the only one of us here with an actual weapon." Kazooie pointed out.  

"True, true." Banjo said. He didn't want to force anyone's hand, but it was still for the best that they hurry. 

[Dragon Knight Volga]

"I simply have a code of honor." Volga told the old man. He followed the group and Chuck around the back and looked up at the balcony. The Dragon Knight wasted no time in flying up after Banjo and Kazooie with the use of the wings that grew out of his back. Volga glanced at the bear and bird before attempting to jimmy the door open with his Dragon Spear.

[Deleted]

"I'm not sure if it's wise to use my powers, since I could accidentally burn and destroy this mansion." Yumiko explained, fortunately Volga provided the group with a way in by trying to open the door with his spear.



Unfortunately for the door, due to how weak it was it ended up fallen back into the room as soon as Volga put his spear on it, surprising Yumiko. "Oh, I guess we could of just touched the door a few times to get in." Yumiko shrugged as she walked into the dark room and towards Spike, but it was so hard to navigate through the room she didn't know what she was tripping over.



"Ugh, I can't see properly in this room. Where's the switch." Yumiko quickly found the light switch and switched on the lights in Chris room...




And she regretted it when it turned out that the room was filled with pictures of Sonic, and the things she tripped up on the floor were of pages of different genres of fan fictions starring Sonic as she looked down at them in horror. "What...What's with this kid's obsession with Sonic?" Yumiko gasped as she got to Spike.

"Either way let's just get Spike and get back to the Vanity Store." Yumiko told the group as she managed to open the dome to where Spike was trapped in and quickly got him out.

"Gotta go fast." The door to Chris room soon opened...And that's when he entered.



"Sonic Junior. I got some blue paint that definitely won't suffocate you. It's time to co---But before Chris could finish, he quickly saw the group, with Spike in Yumiko's hands, causing Chris to tear up and drop the blue paint.

As the blue paint opened and spread through the floor. Yumiko gulped at what might happen next.



"Your trying to take Sonic Junior away. He's mine, i'm looking after him so Sonic. His father will come back, give him back you thieves!" Chris yelled loudly as Yumiko was quick to tell him off.

"I'm sorry, but he belongs to a school somewhere else and were here to collect him. You should be happy though, you found Spike, the hedgehog who's not related to Sonic. Even if you were going to try and kill him just now with that suffocating blue paint."



"His name is Sonic Junior and he's Sonic's son! And that paint doesn't kill people."

"There is literally a warning label on that canister that said's not to put it on people as it will suffocate them." Yumiko pointed to the warning canister, only for Chris to charge towards Yumiko regardless.





"You and you're friends will be sorry. Give Sonic Junior back!" He tearfully yelled as Yumiko yelped and moved away from Chris, causing him to crash into the wall in his room as Yumiko looked on, followed by a cartoon sound effect, but Yumiko was in shock over how painful the crash to the wall was for Chris.

She grew tired of the damn music that was still playing.

"Whoever's playing that music stop!" Yumiko yelled...And the music did, much to her relief as Chris recovered from his attack that backfired on his face...Literally.

[Deleted]

Unsurprisingly, Volga's spear managed to get the door open. Walking inside the dark room, the group didn't immediately realize what was in the room. When the room lit up, however, they realized just how messed up the situation was.

"Wow. Talk about an obsession." Banjo said, looking at the many, many framed photos of Sonic. There were also actual, literal fan fictions littered across the floor, something that didn't go unnoticed. 

"Look at all these Sonic fanfics. Poorly written ones, no doubt." Kazooie snarked.

"I know the people in this world are attracted to strange stuff, but this seems like a bridge too far." Banjo pointed out. This was an actual obsession with a (sort of) fictional character.

They were going to get Spike out of there, but before they could...

"Oh no." Banjo said, seeing Chris enter the room. The boy was not only obsessed, but also seemed a bit unhinged. He was obsessed with this random hedgehog, and also apparently couldn't notice obvious details such as warning labels. The kid actually charged Yumiko, who managed to dodge out of the way. Banjo watched as the kid collided with the wall. Kazooie, however, decided to take initiative as quickly as she could. 

"Alright, then. Banjo, restrain him. I'll open up Spike's dome." Kazooie commanded, climbing out of Banjo's backpack. Banjo reluctantly obliged, walking up to the kid and grabbing him.

"C'mon, kid. There's no need to get violent." He said, attempting to grapple him so he wouldn't try charging them again.

Kazooie made her way to Spike's dome, planning to find a way to open it up. If there wasn't a way to open it, she would just have to shatter it with a hard peck. As she examined the dome, she stopped, as if she had just realized something.

"Hey, Banjo. You know what's funny?"

"What is it?" Banjo asked.

"I'm just thinking about how this kid made up an identity for Spike, and said that he's Sonic's son or whatever." She explained.

"Yeah, I noticed that. Why?"

"In other words, we're stealing his Original Character."

[Dragon Knight Volga]

Volga was surprised at how weak the door was. He would have thought these people would have used their stolen money to repair this door. When Yumiko turned on the light, the Dragon Knight was surprised by this boy's obsession with Sonic. However, Volga didn't have much time to think much on it as Chris himself burst into the room. As the distraught child made a failed attempt to get Spike from Yumiko, he moved in between her and Chris, who was now being grappled by Banjo.
