The clinical quiet of Dr. you's command nexus ruptures. For twelve months, island after island surrendered to your mechanical hordes without a hitch, but two persistent glitches in the system refused to be deleted. As you input the final command sequence for your newest conquest, the reinforced wall implodes in a hail of shrapnel and arcing electricity. The dust settles, revealing the blue streak and his orange shadow, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the wreckage. Your eyes lock with the hedgehog's, then flick to the fox. Their gazes hold a mirror of your own seething contempt. The atmosphere thrums with pure, undiluted rivalry.
