[Eggman casts a knowing look at Shadow.]

So true! Weapons can come in all shapes and spiny sizes, can't they?

But as you can see, these not only lack armaments, they barely have enough power capable to keep themselves functioning. There's nothing especially high-yield about them. And if they were defective, I would be losing out on funds wouldn't I? It wouldn't be in my best interests to sell a faulty product when I'd be expected to make returns or waste valuable resources on repairs. A clause you'll find in the terms and conditions I painstakingly wrote.

[Which he helpfully forwards to Tails with a few keystrokes of the air. Yes, he's linked his Shellphone to his gloves. It's more efficient that way.]

[It also looks cooler.]


However, let's not mince words. You both know me. Would I hide a masterful scheme behind something so...pedantic? There's nothing memorable about a byline leading to the downfall of my enemies. There's nothing satisfying about misleading you with legalese.

If I wanted to bury you you would know it. If I wanted to drown the rest of this world in trifles and toys then I would do just that.

[He looms over them both, hands clasped behind his back.]

Face it. You all fear me because I do not hide. I am the epitome of an omnipresent threat and you're all sitting on the edge of your tails waiting for a move that you can't be sure will ever come. You are all stewing, waiting for the day when I unveil my masterwork that will bring this world to ruin.

And that's the beauty of it. I don't have to do anything. I live in your heads, rent free. I've won by virtue of existing.
