Dr. Eggman's laboratory.]

[The scene shows Dr. Eggman walking across a platform. The scene cuts to Cubot cleaning some capsules. Eggman is seen walking down the aisle behind Cubot as he vents his frustrations over his constant defeats by his sworn arch-nemesis.] Dr. Eggman: Sonic. How I hate him.[stops walking and looks at a pixelated screenshot of his new weapon.] And all of that loathing has been focused into this invincible instrument of destruction.[Cuts to Orbot typing onto a terminal, and Cubot wiping one of the capsules. The camera pans, revealing a strange masked figure within.] Every defeat. Every humiliation at the Hedgehog's hands will be returned a thousand fold by my unstoppable creation. [Dr. Eggman walks up to the capsule, and pushes Cubot out of the way, who cries out in surprise. The camera cuts to a close-up of the figure's body. The finalized Phantom Ruby prototype lies on the figure's chest.] This is my dream come true. With this invention, I can expand the Eggman Empire across the globe, and conquer the world! Mwa-ha-ha-ha! [Orbot peers out from behind the terminal as Cubot hangs upside-down from it. Both sound very uneasy regarding what Eggman just said.] Orbot: The boss means business this time! Cubot: Mm hm. [Cuts to one of the strange capsules, with the strange masked figure looking at the camera with his large yellow eye from behind his mask.]
