“What happened around here?” I said, following Tails.
“Well, so far we've figured out that many different worlds got smashed together about three weeks ago. However many of those worlds were very different from each other in terms of population size and what species. I can't say when exactly we started having problems, but I it definitely started a week after Metudo told barred people from leaving on their own. The people that could go out on scouting missions seem to still be handling things well enough, but the regular citizenry has become very divided. The humans, the demons, the Mobians, and the Shinigami have become the main groups. Most of the hate mongering comes from the humans, but it has begun to affect everyone.”
“So I take it that one girl, Ukyo, is a fighter?”
“Yes, she's not one of our top, but she is pretty formidable with that spatula. I heard she managed to knock Zoro out once. Though people are calling that a lucky hit.” Rather than question him further I let him ramble for a while.
“And here we are, center of technology.” The outside of the room was unnoticeable, much like everywhere else in this place, but just inside was a maze of lights and machinery.
“Ah Tails, back already? I thought you were going out with the next scouting group for some more copper wires.” A young man was working at a bench in the back, he never looked up.
“Yeah, but a new friend popped up, and he's been out spying on the enemy.”
“Oh, new information?”
“Yep, he even got it on a flash drive.” Now the young man turned, lifting his goggles to get a better look.
“Here, let me see.” He took the drive and pulled back the sleeve of his coat. I saw cold steel where his arm should be, but he just inserted the drive without a second thought. “Interesting.”
“What?”
“Well this confirms my theory that someone is actually reconstructing this planet to their own design. But more interesting is the false sky above us. I had been wondering why despite the planet becoming larger we still had regular twenty-four hour days. In fact more regular than normal. Huh, also some form of climate control.”
“He also saw Eggman working with the enemy.”
“Not surprising, after the merging, many demons in particular joined the other side. Probably not helping our own demonic allies with their prejudice thing.” Tails sighed.
“You know that's a really big problem. Everyone's fighting each other, and we've got really big issues on our hands.”
“It's just the civilians fighting each other. It'll calm down once they can spread out and claim their own turf.” Tails just shook his head and motioned to me.
“Come on, I'll take you to the Mobian quarters. We can get you a room.”
