"Well..." He crossed his arms and tilted his head a little. This was going to be a bit of a doozy. "I don't know what's causing the nightmares, but I do know that from a bit of research, we can't wake up. I assume that means all the nightmares have to be ended somehow before we can all get out of here. If we can find Nephenee and 'beat' her nightmare, we can go back to mine and see if we can win it.
"See, my nightmare's a memory too - the memory of the fight against Dr. Robotnik to restore the other Sonic into existence. Except this time, for some reason, the people that came with me didn't come and I had to go face him alone. Which I probably wouldn't have done under normal circumstances..." He paused. "He's aimed a laser at the Earth, similar to what he used on the ARK, but of course this Robotnik was before that so he doesn't remember. But there was a countdown going before he fired it and I had to get there to stop him before he could. He came out to face me in the Death Egg's core room, and had a bunch of rocket launchers and laser things aimed at me. Realizing I had no way out I braced for him killing me... except he didn't. I was thrust out of the nightmare with time paused before the weapons could hit me."
He looked back over at the two. "Which means I suppose nightmares can't be 'failed' - I have to bring in friends to fight with me since the ones I had before aren't in the memory for some reason. Which brings us back to you all. If we could find Nephenee, all four of us could win against Robotnik easily. It wouldn't solve what happened in the past, but it would cause my nightmare to vanish as well."
