Eggman Archive: The Empire's New Era (Dr. Eggman x Blue Archive)

Eden Treaty 1 [WIP]

Prologue

In a dream...

Eggman-Sensei: "Huh?! Where am I?! This place... Is this a dream?"
???: "Hello, doctor. Or should I say, Sensei."
Eggman-Sensei: "Who are you?! Why are you in my dream?!"
???: "My apologies. Allow me to introduce myself."
Seia: "I am Yurizono Seia, the third member of Trinity's Student Council."
Eggman-Sensei: "Hmph. Why are you in my dream?"
Seia: "I am about to tell you about your upcoming "adventure". You will help us resolve the conflict between Trinity and Gehenna. But let me tell you... This won't be a heartwarming story."
Eggman-Sensei: "Go on."
Seia: "The Eden Treaty is a promise to put an end to hatred, so to speak. It's the pact to cease the long-standing rivalry between Trinity General School and Gehenna Academy. In other words, it's an effort to build trust in the place of hatret that would only continue to fester if left alone."
Eggman-Sensei: "(The school filled with students that has angel-like features has a rivalry with a school with students that has demon-like features? Who would've guessed?) So, a peace treaty?"
Seia: "Indeed it is. However, now that the General Student Council president has gone missing, the pact is worthless. Eden is the name of the paradise from ancient scriptures. It's beyond me why the General Student Council president chose it to begin with. Perhaps it was because she had a sick sense of humor. Are you aware of Kivotos' seven koans?"
Eggman-Sensei: "Would you be so kind to tell me about it, young lady?"
Seia: "I'll tell you the fifth one. The fifth one relates to paradise. "Can we prove that anyone has ever reached paradise?" Like each of the koans, this question's intent is vague, but it can be interpreted as referring to the inherent paradox in proving the existence of paradise. If paradise exists, then the ones who reach it will remain there for eternity, forever enveloped in joy and satisfaction. If someone does leave paradise, it's because they weren't fully satisfied, so it was never a paradise for them. Therefore, those who reach paradise cannot be found---and should not exist---outside of paradise. So, can you prove the truth of someone who does not exist? The purpose of this fifth koan is nigh unanswerable. Does truth that cannot be proven become worthless? What is the true question masked behind such cynicism? Eden is the Paradise from scripture. It exists nowhere and cannot be found. In other words, it's nothing but a sweet illusion conjured by dreamers. You see? Surely, this is the metaphor behind the treaty's name."
Eggman-Sensei: "..."
Seia: "Sensei. As I've said before, you may find the story that's about to unfold to be unpalatable. It's a story meant to make you uncomfortable, uneasy, and leave you unhappy. A cynical story that will make you doubt people and truth. Gloomy, sad, painful, and ultimately bitter. But entirely truthful. I ask that you not look away and see it through the end."
Eggman-Sensei: "Hmph. Nothing hurts me more than to see the plans I've crafted thoroughly crumble to pieces. Mark my words, I will make this story end the way I see fit. I promise you."
Seia: "I'd like to see you try. It is your responsibility, after all."

06:00
SCHALE Residence Area: The bedroom

*beep* *beep* *beep*
*groan*
Eggman-Sensei: "Eurgh... What a bizarre dream. If what she's saying is true, I must have business with Trinity today, then."
*door opens*
(Orbot enters the room with a tray of breakfast)
Orbot: "Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!"
Eggman-Sensei: "If you say that again I will dismantle you."
Orbot: "Hehe, okay okay. Here's your breakfast, boss!"
(As he gives the tray to his boss, he brings out the Shittim Chest.)
Orbot: "Oh right, boss! Our new little sister here says she has something to talk to you about!"
(He turns on the tablet, and Arona can be seen at the screen.)

Arona: "Good morning Sensei! Enjoying the breakfast?"
Eggman-Sensei: "Hoho! Good morning dear, and yes I am! What's on the agenda for today?"
Arona: "Ehehe! So recently, we got a letter from Trinity's Student Council, the Tea Party! The host would like to talk to you about some "important matters" she said. She said you must arrive there at 07:30. Let's try our best today, Sensei!"
Eggman-Sensei: "Heh. I got it. Thank you, Arona."
Arona: "Any time, Sensei!"
(Suddenly, Cubot jumps in front of Arona, startling Eggman.)
Eggman-Sensei: "AAH!"
Cubot: "Boo! Haha, did I get you good, boss?"
Eggman-Sensei: "Grr... Cubot just what are you doing there?! Get out this instant!"
Cubot: "Oh come on! I just wanted to give you a-"
Eggman-Sensei: "Get out before I get in there and take you out myself!"
Cubot: "Fine, fine!"
(Because Arona gave access to the Shittim Chest to Eggman-Sensei's robots, they were able to send their "consciousness" to the tablet. Just like how Eggman-Sensei can do it easily)
(Though, sometimes they use it to fool around.)
(But, Arona doesn't mind. She thinks it gets lonely there, and Eggman-Sensei is very busy and can't check up on her as often.)
