Casinopolis: An Unexpected Guest

[Alien-Child]

In his office, Mogul sat in his chair, watching through cameras. Several was a news report about Westside Island flying, others were the security cameras of the casino, people gambling like crazy, perhaps believing the end of the world was at foot. Though, there were some believing this'll pass once Sonic gets involved. Well Zachary, lets see how you hold up. Though of course, the worlds has to be stable to progress any further.


"Uh... sir?" Slash-Heart staggered into the room, his suit tattered and his fur torn, "You're appointment is here."


"You'll have to reschedule it." Looking up from the screen, he realized how beaten Slash-Heart was.


"I'll think you'll reconsider..." He groaned, collapsing on the floor.

[YolkaEd]

"...really, now. You could afford him a suit, but not actual training, Mogul?"



Stepping in after the saber-tooth tiger, this fox gace Mogul a fairly condescending look. "...I thought I knew you better."

[Alien-Child]

"I decided not to bother." Mogul studied the boy, it looked like Tails, namely of course... the tails, but his personality seemed, off from he has heard of the boy.

[YolkaEd]

"...well, that's more true to your character." he hummed, as he glanced around him. "Though a foolish mistake, if I do say so myself..."

[Alien-Child]

The boy acts like he has a previous relation with him, which is true but the only way he remembers is if-"Titan..."

[YolkaEd]

"...please don't call me by that name anymore." he droned, as he shook his head. "I cast that name aside when I was pulled from being such a mindless beast. You can call me Miles; it's what my parents named me." Then, he gave the mammoth a narrowed look. "You know, the pair of loving parents that you deceived?"

[Alien-Child]

Drummed his fingers on his stomach, "Not fully, I did promise you would become a full Anthro, or Mobian, and here you are. Granted, it took some time. Perhaps they should have made a deal with Zachary instead, right?"

[YolkaEd]

"It took 4000 years; their great-great-great-great-great grandchildren would be dead at this point." Miles scoffed. "Oh, wait; did I even have any brothers or sisters so they could have grandchildren?" Then, he closed his eyes. "...you've taken a lot from me, Mogul... and apparently, including my very freedom."

[Alien-Child]

"Hmm, in a way I did." Mogul replied, uncaring. "Though you were a savage beast, a weapon anyone seek to control; Me, Granite... even Fiona." He tossed out a cigar, "Which is why your parents didn't want you to be used anymore. Course, they didn't seem to be aware I would survive to this era. Though honestly, while your strength could have been used against the Meterex, I wonder if you would have fall against them just like Aleena."

[YolkaEd]

"...that's an irrelevant thought, Mogul, and you know it." Miles huffed. "For 4000 years, you kept me locked away in that time-warped cage... and when I finally broke free... hmph. It wasn't even me that broke free that day."

[Alien-Child]

"Really?" Mogul pulled out a bottle of wine and poured himself a glass. He'd offer Miles one, but while he's 4000 years old, he still looks like a minor, "I would admit, that spell to cast you into the Special Zone was to use its energy to evolve you correctly. I never expected to make an alter-ego out of you."

[YolkaEd]

"...it wasn't even an alter-ego." Miles huffed. "It was more of a... ideal image of myself."



"A sensitive and caring individual, with an IQ that surpasses just about anyone else that look his age. Overly friendly, and never about to say anything ill about anyone surrounding him; even his worst enemies..."



"...in other words, the perfect little scout ranger." Miles scoffed. "...as if any child would really be like him."

[Alien-Child]

"Hmm..." Rubs his trunk, "I can't recall if I put those characteristics part of the spell or not. I can understand you seeking revenge for being used, cast into a void for millenniums, and having no more living relatives... cept perhaps your other self. Though, you seem to hold resentment for being that boy."

[YolkaEd]

"...I never was that child. He lived his own life, blissfully unaware of my very existence..." Miles murmured. "...no... it was the maddening thought that I was awake, but unable to control what was mine by right... that child is nothing but a magic construct..."

Then, he narrowed his eyes further. "...and the first time I can recall that I was freed... who else would show up to try and usurp control over me again? You."

[Alien-Child]

While he drank his wine, trying to keep a cold face "From what my scouts have told me, you have regain your 'Titan form' one time before we were reunited, sometime during that battle against Eggman. I believe it was related to some time deity, correct?"

[YolkaEd]

"I don't recall much of that." Miles huffed. "That mirror image somehow regained control before I could get used to what was going on; hence why I more vividly recall my second emergence... and of course, those fools tried sealing me away; as if I was some kind of abomination that needed to be kept away for all time..."

[Alien-Child]

"Funny that?" Mogul replied, "Just as Scourge, they believe because something is a threat, their own lives has to be sacrifice and be sealed away, ain't it? Some heroes they are. Though, I don't think that resentment out weights your hatred against me or the others who have tried to control you, does it?"

[YolkaEd]

"Oh, not by a long shot." Miles scoffed. "...well... maybe save for one other, but... that doesn't matter now." Then, he narrowed his eyes. "What matters is that Granite is dead, Zachary is about to feel the wrath of far too many people to count... and that leaves old Mammoth Mogul all on his own. Funny how that works, isn't it?"

[Alien-Child]

The mammoth chuckled, "Granite isn't truly dead... but he's far out of reach. Zachary, true he shall face his defeat. Though if what I hear is right, then you might have a 'fourth' to have your revenge, but that is moot too." He leans back on his chair, "Though in all honesty Miles, if you recall, I am immortal. You are free to attack me all you want, however... while I won't fight back, that little assault would be in my advantage."

[YolkaEd]

"Oh, I know that, already." Miles scoffed, before he actually smirked. "Do you honestly think that I don't remember the crushing defeat I suffered at your hands? I would be a fool to try and engage you in physical combat again..." Then, he shook his head. "No, Mogul, I'm not here to fight... I'm simply here to collect."

[Alien-Child]

He raised a brow.

[YolkaEd]

"...it is a marvel, what you've managed to build up in the short amount of time you've stayed here." Miles mused. "But most of it came from deceiving those who fought under your banner, way back in the day..." Then, he shook his head. "...practically everyone who would even want a slice of the cake you baked have long since passed away..." Then, he returned a narrowed glare at Mogul. "...but I'm still here. And I demand that you pay back everything you've stolen from me... counting inflation, of course."

[Alien-Child]

Put down his bottle, "Like what, with money?"

[YolkaEd]

"That's a start." Miles hummed, as he glanced up at the ceiling. "You stole away my chance of living a normal life... you robbed me of my parents... you tried controlling me... I wouldn't be surprised if you've signed a warrant to make me your pet." Then, he looked back at Mogul. "I'd say that, by those terms, you'd practically owe me your entire gambling estate... but I'm all ears; try giving me a better deal. You are a business tycoon, aren't you, Mogul? This is your chance to do some actual bargaining."

[Alien-Child]

Damn, he didn't expect this! Sure, they can settle this in court, but with his plans, something this trivial will just hinder it. "You really drive a hard bargain, don't you." Mogul stands up, and walks to look out the window, "... I'll give you property over Little Planet, ownership of half of the casinos I intend to own... and once I'll become President you shall become... Vice-President..." Damn, he's really pulling out of his ass right now. "Also, 50% of the profits of this casino."
