Rob and Scootaloo were already in the abandoned city block now.

"Dang, this block is fairly close to the UNA's HQ." Rob said.

"That's probably why they have that proximity alert." Scootaloo noted. "So, what's with you calling this guy Dr. Krono?" she asked.

"It's out of respect. The guy wants to get a doctor's degree in studing something. He's only targeted areas with either no living person around the area for miles, or is a place slated for deconstruction. He says he wants to revamp a space for what he wants to work on." Rob said.

"Wait, that's what he wants to do?! Seriously? If that's all he wants to do, he can just ask for funding from some review board." General Hightop said. "Heck, I'd greenlight it if I was a scientist." He added.

"That's the other thing...Dr. Krono wants to study Chao in a more in-depth lens." Rob said.

"...You mean those things from the Sonic Adventure Duology? He wants to study those things? I suppose everyone has to have a hobby." Aaron said.

"...I guess there are mysteries about those things that do need explaining. I'm guessing the review board of scientists don't get it then." General Hightop said.

"I told him that he could get in front of a review board for proper funding and negotiate for land, but he told me and I quote 'That process will take too long for my liking. I wish to achieve my life dream before I die, so I don't have time to wait for some review board meeting.'" Rob said.

"Okay, I get that the process takes too long, but can't you just convince him to be patient?" Jester asked.

"That's why I wanted to tackle this on my own terms. If I can get Dr. Krono to listen to reason without a bunch of soldiers pointing guns at him, then maybe he'll actually listen to me." Rob said.

"...Okay, that actually makes a whole lot of sense, I'm not going to lie. For a Metahuman, you can sure think like any normal human can. Common sense like this is missing in much of society today." General Hightop said. "If nothing else, the UNA might be able to part with a patch of land we really have no use for and give it to this Krono fellow for basically for free." He said.

"That's DOCTOR Krono. And I'll be sure to mention it to him." Rob said.

"...Geez, picky much? That's the second time Rob's gotten on the General like that." Jester said.

"To be fair, he also got on my case for leaving out the doctor part." Expert said.

"...Yeah I should've remembered that." General Hightop said.

Rob and Scootaloo soon came across a man in machine. This man looked like your typical scientist with that obviously worn out labcoat. "...Dr. Krono I presume?" Scootaloo asked.

"Interesting...I didn't know that universe had video games attached to it." The man in the machine said.

"Dr. Krono, please listen to me: I've come to try and convince you to give up on forcibly bulldozing land for your project. Maybe if you'll just be patient with the review board--" Rob was saying.

"I can't! It'll take too long to get proper funding and land from those jerks." Dr. Krono interuptted.

"Wait! The UNA has some land they said they could give to you for free. Can't you work from there?" Scootaloo asked.

"I still need the funding though. And even getting a proper loan will take--" Dr. Krono suddenly started coughing. He covered his mouth when he did so. But suddenly, shortly after, he looked at the palm of his hand. He looked pale suddenly too. "...Damn it...damn it damn it damn it..." Dr. Krono said. "I'm running out of time..." He said.

"Running out of time? What does--"

"I got no other choice! Come forth, Biolazard!" Dr. Krono said. Out of nowhere, a giant lizard monstrocity showed up.

"Isn't that the Biolazard from Sonic Adventure 2?!" General Hightop exclaimed.

"Biolazard...I want you to raze this entire city block. Do that, and then find a way to buy me some addtional time, and we can consider my whole reviving of you even." Dr. Krono said.

"Why's he suddenly so desperate that he'd call on the Biolizard of all things? Let alone revive the thing?!" Expert exclaimed.

"Your asking us?!" General Hightop was just as confused about the whole situation.

Revived Prototype of the Ultimate Lifeform
The Biolizard

Rob and Scootaloo had to do their best to dodge the new and improved Biolizard as Dr. Krono had given the prototype a lot of upgrades. Now in addtion to the attacks it was known for, it was now capable of just firing lazers in this more base state from it's body.

"Dr. Krono obviously tricked out this prototype. He must have wanted to make sure it could get the job done no matter what." Zapper said.

"Yikes!" Scootaloo said, suddenly dodging a laser heading for her. The attacks were very fast too.

"Right, time to see what this can do." Rob said, suddenly taking out a green gem.

"Wha--that's a--!" Dr. Krono noticed it.

Suddenly, for both Rob and Scootaloo, the world around them seemed to slow to a crawl. "What the...what is this?!" Scootaloo said.

"I don't know, but let's not look a gift horse in the mouth!" Rob said before using the slowed down time to attack Biolizard. However, after a series of sword slashes from Rob, time suddenly resumed and Biolizard threw Rob off.

"What the...what just happened? How did Rob get on top of Biolizard so fast?!" Expert exclaimed.

"You mean he's never used this power before?!" Aaron exclaimed.

"I...don't think that was Rob's doing. He's got some kind of gemstone." General Hightop said.

"Rob, try using the gemstone again!" Scootaloo said once she heard that.

"Right." Rob said, using the stone again. Just like before, the world around him and Scootaloo slowed to a crawl, allowing Rob to repeat the process from before.

"I think that mysterious gemstone has the power to control time. I think it's power is allowing Rob to move faster than we can perceive." Expert said.

"What kind of gemstone has the power to do that?" General Hightop asked.

"Who cares right now? I'll take the welcome advantage against this thing." Rob said. "Even with my Mimic Magic powers, this would've been hard to do, but now the fight is much more fair. Gotta give him credit, Dr. Krono wanted to make sure the Biolizard could do whatever he wanted." He added.

After one more cycle, the protype was destroyed. "NO! NO NO NO! Damn it! I'm running out of time. Gotta think of something else. Quickly!" Dr. Krono said before he fled in his little machine.

"Seriously, what does he mean he's running out of time? He's far too young to be dying now, right?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yeah, true. So then why is he so admant about him just not having enough time?" Rob asked.
