Crossworlds has been taking over my mind, so let's cope imagining my OCs in there β Part 2, Episode Zelio
Silver: Excited for your first Grand Prix? And your first time driving too? Try to not make things too easy.
Zelio: You bet I am, I will make things look very dirty for you when you lose to the newbie.
Zelio: I'm finally getting to know to your friends from the past better, please don't be jealous when they gravitate towards me instead.
Silver: Looks like somebody is growing really confident... So I think you don't mind if I leave you here when I go back home.
Zelio: Silver told me a lot about you, let's see if you are really a skilled ninja as he claimed.
Espio: He didn't talk a thing about you, let's see if you are at least close to Knuckles level.
Espio: So you are the descendant of Knuckles... Let's see if you carry the same spirit and honor as him!
Zelio: And you are the ninja chameleon who helped Silver to defeat the all mighty Ifrit and Metal Sonic... Let's see if he didn't carry you all the fight after all.
Zelio: Silver told me a lot about you, I wonder if I could learn something or two with you, guardian of the Sol Emeralds.
Blaze: You're Silver's friend from the future, right? I like your eagerness and discipline.
Blaze: I'm rather curious on how the echidna's techniques evolved across 200 years, show me!
Zelio: That's a fiery attitude, princess, let's bring out our best in this race!
Metal Sonic: _Robot Noises_
Zelio: You carry too much anger for a replica of the always carefree Sonic the Hedgehog, maybe that's why you're always behind him.
Zelio: I fought with one like you before, but he was black and yellow... Guess you are the obsolete version.
Metal Sonic: _Robot Noises_
Zelio: You're so cute looking from here, I almost feel bad for the likes you I have destroyed.
Zelio: Seeing you in a friendly race makes me think you're not as bad as the other badniks, maybe you could change your ways.
Knuckles: Let's see in this race how much you have improved, if you are still fit to the role of guarding the Master Emerald.
Zelio: I'm just as fit as you, not that I mind proving myself to the elders as many times as needed.
Zelio: It's a pleasure to compete against you, Knuckles, after this race can we have a sparring match?
Knuckles: I like the spirit, kid, don't expect me to go easy. You as an echidna warrior must be able to face any foe head-on!
Sonic: So Dodon Pa called another guardian of the Master Emerald? Fine, as long as you're not as gullible as Knucklehead.
Zelio: You may be the greatest hero in history, but I won't tolerate any offense to my ancestors from anybody.
Zelio: You are a legendary hero in the future, nobody would believe if I said I defeated you... But I would know that my training is effective if I managed to defeat you.
Sonic: So you want a sparring match when it's over? Bring it on, I'm always open to new challenges.
Tails: You seem more open minded than Knuckles, would you let me study the Master Emerald a bit?
Zelio: Sorry, Fox Boy, my grandpa's very last wish was to not let it happen and I sure don't want one more ancestor's ghost bothering me.
Zelio: You sure tunned up your vehicle... Guess I'll have to content with the second place.
Tails: Selling yourself short already? Thought an echidna warrior would be more persistent and determined.
Amy: Hi there Knuckles, good to see you are here! *giggles*
Zelio: Be honest, Amy, you do that to mess with us by this point, don't you?
Zelio: Your hammer seems to be rather light, what's your secret to destroy all those robots?
Amy: The secret is within the strength and finesse of the weapon's user and I will be glad to showcase that in a sparring match later!
Omega: *ERROR* My scanners detect the life form in front of me as "Echidna", but my database confirms the species is completely extinct.
Zelio: Hahaha, very funny, Silver didn't tell me you had sense of humor.
Zelio: One of Eggman's masterpieces, huh... The most advanced E-100 series model... Too bad even you are obsolete in my time.
Omega: Oponent of D-Rank level of threat seems to require the approach of A-Rank. This sounds like a logical and effective course.
Crystal: Hey Zelio, I finally found you! Let's settle once and for all who is the best guardian driver.
Zelio: Too hasty, calm down, Crys, you're spending too much time with Shadow.
Zelio: Guess we are not working together on this, Crys... May the best win!
Crystal: Yes, either way, it's a honor to race against a guardian buddy.
Shadow: The echidna jr. came to race? If you at least present a challenge unlike your ancestor, it's fine by me.
Zelio: I will remember this attitude next time you come to me looking like a wet puppy asking for help, Shadow.
Zelio: So is that true you are half alien? You look like a very ordinary hedgehog to me.
Shadow: There's nothing ordinary in the Ultimate Life Form and make no mistake, that's thanks to Professor Gerald's work rather than the Black Arms' DNA!
