The sound of birds fleeing away from the complex could be heard by everyone inside. SNT's eyes widened and her left foot instinctively stepped back. The creature was completely stunned by what she just heard. Even SPD's expression hardened, fully expecting such a reaction from the creature.

"What?" SNT gasped. "I'm... exiled?" She turned towards the Village Vice Chief, only for the darker purple cat to close her eyes and nod. SNT just stood there dumbfounded. A smile cracked within her shocked muzzle.

"Heh heh... no..." she denied while turning back towards Chief Percival. "No no no no no no, There has to be some kind of mistake!" the angel pleaded. Percival let out a deep sigh, as she looked up towards the dark blue ceiling.

"I'm afraid not, Lady SNT. Once you leave this place, you will no longer be allowed to step foot in my village, tis non-negotiable," the village chief explained. SNT shook her head, she couldn't believe what she heard. None of it made sense to her.

"What are you saying? This is backwards, this is... you can't do this! Nicole back me up!" she attempted to argue. The Village Vice Chief let out a sigh before she stepped forward.

"Sorry SNT, but I agree with my Chief here. Our top priority is the safety of the village, and you're way too dangerous to keep around our people," she claimed.

"Dangerous?" SNT echoed in pure disbelief. After everything she's done for this village, they decide to treat her like a criminal?

"W...why? Didn't I save the village? Didn't I beat Coldsteel?" she continued to argue as a somber feeling plagued her soul.
Am I really going to be alone again? She feared. Percival's eyes shifted towards the person hailed as the village's guardian angel. Her eyes displayed nothing but heartache, something the chief knew all too well.

"Tis I hadde not forgotten," she earnestly claimed. SNT's eyes hardened as the bedridden knight shifted her gaze upon the heavily damaged armor she wore during the battle. An aquatic light reflected on the armor, bringing Percival's eyes to the large light-blue ring on the table. Memories of failure resurfaced within her mind until she took a deep breath.

"Listen, fair angel. I greatly empathize with your vexation. I wish it did not have to come to this predicament, however, with what we have learned from the pink automaton, I'm afraid we had no other option," the still-recovering knight claimed.

Pink Automaton? SNT questioned. There was only one person that matched that description in her mind. Suddenly, the angel remembered seeing a person within the metal body.

"You're talking about that Robo-Amy, aren't you?" she asked. "What exactly did you learn from that thing?"

"I can answer this one, my chief," SPD spoke dutifully. Percival glanced at the vice chief and nodded for her to proceed.

"Our best engineers have been analyzing Robo-Amy, and they've found that she was not only a roboticized mobian, but she had also recorded her battle against us and sent that footage to Mobius Kingdom, no doubt as an SOS message to the Emperor," SPD explained. SNT's eyes widened upon hearing that word yet again.

"Emperor?" SNT questioned. The mere utterance of that word caused both SPD and Percival to suddenly glare daggers at the lone angel. Such a reaction only fed SNT's curiosity more and more. From the moment she had awakened in this world, SNT noticed something strange about this village; there were medieval knights and blacksmiths roaming around, yet hoverboards and holographic AIs seemed to be common as well. From one moment she met a young raccoon with a pirate accent, only to then suddenly meet a futuristic echidna warrior ripped straight out of a sci-fi movie.
