"...Aleena, I think you're forgetting the point of us looking for him." Metal sighed, before he glanced at Mogul. "...though she raises an interesting point; how did you finance this? I doubt that you could've attracted so many investors whilst being stuck in that rock."

He grabbed Aleena by her collar and put her on the floor, "The mind is such a feeble thing, especially on the buffoons who ran these establishments. They easily let their selves be open to hypnotism." "That makes sense. So there wasn't some secret Holoska bank account?" "Oh, there was. Secretly during the war, I had one of those hybrid-humans (disguising their animal features of course) start up a bank account in the 'human world'. In case of things we might need to acquire that simple stealing would be difficult or bring to much attention. Despite the world changing, my account was still available in their back-up database, with interest gathering up over the years, it did some assistance."

That didn't sound good. In fact, that made her uncomfortable. He really did set up fallback plans after over 4000 years ago. But she wondered...did he knew about the future? Was his real plans, back then, wasn't set on the Earth era, but the Mobius era? Was he really just setting up the playing field for the Mobius era? "Damn! That must had been some bank if it survived for 4000 years!" she awed.

"...I'll say." Metal hummed dryly. "So, that explains that... so now that we've gotten formalities out of the way, how about we get to business?"

"The building, maybe it was destroyed or rebuild, though its data was still stored." With his cane in his trunk, Mogul walk past the three through the doors, "As for business, well that's what I'm doing here, right?" "You seem to really getting the hang of it." Manic crosses his arms. "Indeed, I even had a sleeper agent start one of these fine casinos before I was flung into the future. Back in Little Planet, you have mentioned that the war is over and I have lost my 'edge'. Though of course, there are other means to rule the world, isn't there?" "So you're still at it, huh?" "Of course," Mogul turns back to the three, "I'm thinking of running for a political position. Maybe Mayor of this city, or even President if possible." He face-faulted.

Metal simply shrugged, and shook his head. "Please. The only villain I'd even consider taking charge as the president is currently deceased. You won't have my vote." Then, he folded his arms. "Besides, it'd be a lot more cathartic to see you beaten rather than seeing you issue orders to organizations like GUN."

"I wasn't really asking for any of your votes; One of you is dead, the other is a convicted felon while the last is a robot created by a terrorist." "So really, that's your big plan?" Manic shook his head, "By taking over the world by politics and money? That seems...pretty much mundane." "True, but contrast to Eggman who got his way to power by force and terrorism, my way is simply 'legal' is it not?"

"Yeah!" she grinned, coolly leaning on a red rope pole, used to lead to the portal. "Cuz you know Sonic will kick your butt if you tried the hard way."

"Even if you tried resorting to controlling Prower in some desperate move to save your skin." Metal mused dryly, as he leant against a different pole.

"Speaking of which, how are you going to explain to your 'voters' on trying to turn Tails into that Thing?" "I'm glad you've asked that." Snapping his fingers. ZIP! From down the hall, a weasel with a round head and the height of an average human wearing a salesman suit stood by Mogul. "Greetings, I am Wes Weasely, I here represent my client Mammoth Mogul here." The Mobian said, handing the three a card each. Manic looked at it and then glanced at Mogul, "You got yourself a lawyer?!" @wes@ "I'm also a certified salesman and have played in many movies. You might have seen me in such like 'Catman Begins' and 'Pirates of the Adabat'." The lawyer stood up and got out a book, flipping through the pages, "Now, I read from the Declaration of Mobian Independence, it states 'It is illegal to own sentient lifeforms such as Mobians or humans as pets, working animals or beast of burdens." "What does that have to do with Tails? He's clearly sentient and a Mobian!" @wes@ "Indeed he is, but this 'Titan' however is nothing but a large animal depending on instincts, is he not? I believe he has been described as not a true Mobian." Going through his pocket, he pulled out another piece of paper, "I also have here a pet license that certifies Mammoth Mogul here ownership of Tails' Titan form." Glaring at the paper and its signature, Manic's eye twitched. Oh, how he hates the law.

She just scoffed. "Ha!! When you get that?! Back in the day? They didn't have that law back in the Earth-era, and nobody on Mobius knows about Titan."

"...so basically, unless you're ready to commit outright kidnapping, which I'm sure there's more than one law against, those papers amount to nothing." Metal scoffed in a similar tone.

Flipping the gem on his cane, there was a button. Mogul pressed it. This caused a painting to slide away and revealing a screen and displayed the events of the battle on Little Planet. Though namely Mogul commanding Titan, other parts of the video wasn't shown such as Tails' transformation or who Titan was fighting. "I believe recorded images can do just fine. Though don't try and mistake me for trying to kidnap the boy, I 'm stating I claim owner ship of his other form should it 'return'."

Scowling, for that actually broke her upbeat facade. "You don't own 'Tails', which frankly, you're not easily going to be seeing Titan!" But this was bad, as the public now knows about Tails' secret.
From a room in another place, a certain woman watched the conversation through one of the security cameras. But she kind of wasn't spying. How could she when she was invited by the big elephant?

For the briefest of moments, Metal's eyes flashed red, even in his guise. "...see if you feel brave enough to try something like that, Mogul. I'll end you in one strike." And he he drew his thumb across his throat; meaning that as a very serious threat.

Mogul chuckled, while his lawyer quivered. The mammoth leaned closed and gaze back at Metal's red eyes, "I'm immortal, I can't die so easily. So just ask Aleena." "Doesn't mean we can kick your ass." Manic cracked his knuckles. "Perhaps. Though if things go right, maybe there is a way we can both be 'happy'." Mogul laughed. "Excuse me sir," Slash-Heart knocked at the door, wearing the top of part of a tuxedo. He bit his tongue to not growl at Aleena, "But your guest as arrived." "Ah, excellent." Turning to the three, "Shall we continue this another time? Feel free to enjoy yourselves till closing time if you choice to stay." He said, walking through a large pair of doors, which Slash-Heart closes behind.

Both be happy...? That could only be one thing. He wouldn't...?
The royal woman layed on a red sofa, rather impatiently tapping her staff.

With Mogul gone, Metal turned to Aleena with a narrowed look. "...what do you think he meant by that? And would that impede the measures we took to keep Prower from falling to his control?" he whispered; just in case someone was listening in.

Right now his fur was getting darker, and Manic was taking some deep breaths to fight it off. He's so not in the mood for gambling anymore.
The doors open and Mogul walked in, and before he sat down he bowed to the woman, "I apologize for my tardiness, I simply had an old companion visit me. Though I am grateful you have accepted my invitation."

"I am a very busy woman." she scoffed, taking a sip of wine from a glass. "So please make it quick. What does this have to do with the fox boy?"
"...if it's what I think it is, then he can have Titan. But at the same time, he can't have Titan. He's too powerful, and I had trouble fighting him back in the day."

Metal blinked. "...wait, wait, hold up... he can have Titan, but yet he can't have Titan? What is this, a zen riddle? Does it mean that he can't control Titan, or something?"

"You wouldn't know by just looking at him, but the truth is that child is over 4000 years old." Mogul sat down on the chair, he waved his hand bringing up two images of Tails in both of his incarnations. The one of the right is the boy you are familiar with, but the one he had become after his mutation is the one of the left. A savage and mighty unstoppable beast. The image was enlarged and it showed various clips of the past of Titan destroying armies, wrecking cities, facing against an onslaught of projectiles and creatures as he plows right through them.

"Hmmm..." That would be something her master Nega would love to have. "And?"
Sighing, she shook her head. "Look, we need to figure out how to protect Tails. Law and stuff is beyond my expertise..." And I was once a queen...

"...well, the potion and necklace we got from the Nameless Zone should work as a temporary solution, right? That form of combination would simply prevent Mogul from forcing Prower to revert to his Titan-stage..." Then, he rubbed his chin. "...now I'm curious, but... you wouldn't happen to know someone who was more familiar with Titan, other than Mogul?"
