Happy to help and good luck with it whenever you get to it.
...Believe me I know the issues of having a lot of things to do outside of writing and plenty of things to write as well.
Anything interesting happen over there?

Understandable.
From what I remember their king was insane and than got replaced by wveil wizard, they helped Robotnik rise to power and hated Robians.
...I've read a decent bit of those, but I don't remember them doing a particularly terrible job.
Course I could be missing some details.
They banned guns and made everyone use spears and bow and arrows
Ragging on Archie civilians/King Max happens fairly frequently.

Didn't the king grant Eggman a high position because of some weird yellow spring water or something?

The source of all, or as I like to call it, the Magic Piss of dubious morality.
It has a telepathic link to anyone who bathes in it and it deems worthy, and gives them advice about what's good for the kingdom, and the Acorn family follows it religiously, save eventually Sally who, while accepted by it, goes 'wait, this isn't for the good of the kingdom's people, just for the good of the kingdom specifically.' and rejected it. Then it got nuked.
And funny thing is, it isn't responsible for this bad decision for once: Max Acorn just decided to try and be a good person, by giving Robotnik a chance. So maybe the Magic Piss is better at decisions than him.
Magic piss: NO, NO, NO, NO! DO NOT! D O N O T! ... That's it, driving you senile for this.
Well, I gave y'all the better part of 24 hours. Omake time, this makes 25 out of 25.
Clove the Pronghorn was standing alone, looking at the door.
Clove had been off-base when it happened. It was some kind of widespread psychic attack that had been fended off. There were no casualties, but it was not without consequences. For most, they simply suffered headaches. The Doctor, on the other hand, had one of his other personalities emerge.
Doctor Eggman had been prepared for such a possibility. He would never let anyone else have control of the Eggman Empire, not even another version of himself. The other Eggman was immediately apprehended and locked away while Sage and Stone were running things for the moment.
Starline had checked and confirmed that this was temporary. The native, better Eggman would reassert himself by the end of the day. However, it wasn't just any Eggman who replaced him, as Conquering Storm had discovered when she brought him to the prepared cell.
… She was hesitating. Clove wanted to do this, she had to do this. To finally, fully close that dreadful chapter of hers and Cassia's lives. She steeled herself and entered the room, seeing him.
The Eggman she served before the Shattering barely gave her a glance from where he sat. "Come to gloat, Pronghorn? You didn't bring your sister, I see."
Clove took in the nearly empty room he was left in. Nothing but a chair, a table, an untouched sketchpad for blueprints, and a camera for Sage to ensure he didn't try anything before she could interfere. No other technology or tools for him to use.
"Like I'd expose her to a monster like you again. Haha, we spent years with you and you couldn't cure NIDS with your entire empire at your disposal. This version of you did it in months with a fraction of the resources," she sneered.
"Yes, yes, the gene therapy," Eggman responded in a flat tone. "I know."
"How does it feel knowing you're the lesser Eggman?" Clove couldn't help but grin. For a man as egotistical as him, that had to be humiliating. "Finally, we're-"
"Free? Hah, you always were a fool," Eggman scoffed.
"What are you talking about!?" He was calm, too calm. It was setting the Pronghorn on edge.
"I already told you that cyberization was never more than a stop-gap measure." Clove could tell that he was rolling his eyes at her, despite the glasses. "But did you really think that I couldn't fix your sister?"
The pronghorn stepped forward, fists clenched. "If it would have been so easy, you'd have done it," she hissed before forcing herself to continue in a more even tone. "We burned all our bridges, there was nowhere else we could go after we joined you. All you have now is talk to salvage your ego. You've been beaten completely and it didn't even take Sonic or the Freedom Fighters.
"Nanomachines," Eggman replied blandly as he began using the sketchpad to draw some kind of schematic.
"Nano-, what!?"
"There were any number of things I could have done, simpleton. I had nanomachines that would have overrode and substituted her immune system. The prototype for another project called the Metal Virus." Eggman finished his illustration and it slid across the table towards her. Against her better judgment, Clove approached to have a look but could barely make heads or tails of it. All she knew was that if he sketched that design so quickly, it couldn't have been made on the fly.
"Ask my other self or that AI if you're idiotic enough to doubt my intellect. So, if I had them, why didn't I use them? It's because you were so much more useful to me when you were desperate," the leader of another world's Eggman Empire answered his own question.
"If you thought that if you did a good enough job, someday I might take pity on your sister. You would have gotten yourself killed for her, for me, if I demanded it. And in the throws of vengeance, I would have had your replacement in Cassia. Less capable, but a backup doesn't hurt." The monster grinned wide, causing Clove to take a step back with her eyes wide.
Clove wanted to scream. It wasn't supposed to turn out like this! She had- he didn't have any- it wasn't like back in her home world! Not even he should be able to design something like this! "You- YOU!"
Eggman leaned forward in his seat as she took another step back, all too aware of how small the room was. "Allow me to break this charade, Pronghorn. This softer derivative only fixed her because now it's his turn to be desperate. He's in a fragile position without the full might of the Eggman Empire and he knows it. So he's gambling that the permanent cure means that you and Cassia will stay with him instead of leaving the moment there's a better offer."
"… This Eggman is different. Even if you think you're just as smart, he's a better man than you could ever be. I've seen how he treats Belle and Sage and how he's saved the Darcsen, even when it doesn't benefit him directly. He's not the same monster that you are." Clove's voice gained strength as she spoke. It was true, her version of Doctor Eggman would never do anything like that. If you didn't have a use, you were less than worthless in his eyes!
"Do you think he's any less a monster, just because he thinks he knows love? If anything happens to those girls, he'll sink to the same depths I did, maybe even lower." The words hit her like a punch to the gut. Nobody talked about it, but they all noticed how subdued he was when there was that tension with Belle. And then how unfocused he was when Sage was 'grounded.'
"And even if nothing does…" Eggman continued, "You hated working for me, hated conquering in my name. He will use you to kill countless more, just because they're in his way. With me, you endured that hatred for the sake of your dear little sister. So, now that you finally got your precious wish, why are you still here? It's because he owns you. Mind, body, and soul."
"Are you-" Then it all clicked and Clove couldn't help but laugh for a moment. "You're trying to get me to leave, to sabotage this world's Eggman. If you couldn't succeed, he's not allowed to either! You really are jealous of him, that he might succeed where you failed!"
Clove expected many things from her former boss. She thought he might yell, might be angry. He was a prideful man, after all. What she didn't expect was for the puzzle pieces she'd been putting together to fall apart when he started to laugh.
"Ohohohoho! Maybe I would be if I weren't trapped in his skull. But I don't care because I was never truly defeated. If he dies a failure, that just means that his methods were useless." Eggman tapped his paper once again. "But if he succeeds, it will be because of my own genius. My technology will take his to greater heights and the soldiers I created will be his tools."
"Why are you-?" Clove backed up again, bumping against the wall.
"Because, Clove, I know why you didn't bring Cassia with you. You were arrogant enough to think you could face me to prove to yourself that you were free." Eggman stood up, his shadow cast over her "But even in this new world, you've burned every bridge but one. And where did that bring you? Back to me."
"You- you're just trying to hurt me!" The Egg Boss hated how shaky her voice was. "Because that's all the power you have left.
"I already have. I'm just showing you your scars. Now leave," he dismissed her with a careless wave.
Clove looked down at the ground, trying not to cry. "Y-yes Doctor."
A/N: So, I said this before, but on Discord one of our QMs (Ranger) asked if we could have any of our characters have a conversation with an Eggman, who would we pick. That prompted this idea, since I picked Clove and her Eggman. I don't have a whole lot to say on it, but I thought this was a fun idea.
Feel free to tell me what you thought!

Honestly I'm terrified. Good job. I hope he never shows up.

….our eggman needs to tell him reasons why he sucks.
And it would be glorious.
And it would be glorious.
Huh....even Post-reboot.....Archie Eggman is still pretty dangerous (even if Pre-Reboot Archie Eggman was nightmarish).
On another topic...I just had an idea of how SV Eggman (IE Us) can act. Anybody watch Tank Fish on Youtube? His Trenches video? Imagine if SV Eggman starts to order his Badniks like the Chaos Legion.
Another idea....In Eggman's headspace (mental Realm/Palace).....we see SV Eggman looming over Archie Eggman (either Pre or Post Reboot)....and laying out every reason why Archie Eggman is a fool at best, and a failure most of the time. Every. Reason. Why he sucks.

No idea who Tank fish is I'm afraid.
But I do like the idea of the what SV will cause when it actually bothers to focus on an Eggman. Primarily to show it's displeasure.
Here's one of his videos.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlnlLG3xP_Q
Oh yes....and the other Eggmen look on in concern/horror.
Heheh...hmm.
You know now that I'm reminded of this maybe we should write SV Eggman interacting with our heroes and the world more.
Some strange combination between confusion and Elderitch horror.
...Actually thanks to El Gran Gordo (plus whatever trait SV would provide) We could actually pull off an Elderitch abombination impression pretty well.
Indeed.
Yeah. With some characters, we could come off as knowing WAY too much about a given character's life. With our underlings, we could come off as friendly (or not)....but unnerving (I'm reminded of the Winnower from Destiny). To our enemies, we could become more tense....more hostile. And in some cases, sinister, malevolent, eager to engage in psychological warfare.
Imagine if we (SV Eggman) begin to talk with the likes of Naugus, Mammoth Mogul, or Snively.
I'm glad.
I didn't want it to seem like Clove folded too easily, but I wanted Post SGW Archie to still be intimidating, so I'm relieved I managed that part at least. And the inevitable will only wait for so long...I find it interesting that Post-SGW Eggman wasn't spiteful enough to deny his SV counterpart.
"Eh, I am not getting out of here. Might as well leave some blueprints of mine in his brain, see where it goes."
That and it makes you wonder if he wasn't intentionally playing up his asshollery (not that he's in short supply) to make Clove further loyal to us. He's certainly manipulative enough to do so.

Well got into writting mood.
Egg family reunion: A mother duty.
''I suppose there is nothing I can do then to change your mind'' he said in front of the robot, stated on a neutral tone.
''Sadly no, it is a call I simply cannot refuse and I really hope you understand this Doctor, I am grateful for everything you have done for me these last months, but it is time I go back to my search, especially since I now have a solid lead on where to find them'' the robot said in a sad tone, something that honestly still surprised the old man on how a robot could be programmed with such human like emotions.
Yes Mombot has been a mystery for Doctor Z ever since his grandkids found the robot in a state of disrepair.
To say the shattering has been more than a headache would putting it lightly.
A lot of his and the Alpha Gang plans were just thrown out of the window when the thing happened.
While he still had his dinosaur army and everyone he knew at hand reach, a lot of the cards apparently were lost when the event happened meaning no pun intended some of those could become wild cards if someone with at least a lick of brain came across them.
Not helped by the fact some of the new neighbours were a pain in the neck to deal with.
He was starting to miss the times where those meddling kids were the most of his worries.
Yet this was the hand he was dealt with and he played it, there was nothing else to do really to continue his plans.
The routine was the same really, search for the missing cards and anything else of value, while making sure his new neighbours didn't get funny ideas.
So when his grandkids found the seemingly shut down robot during a recon across their territory they got curious about it, Rod especially was interesed on how advanced the thing was by all acounts.
So one day he decided to make himself some free time and help his grandkid repair the thing.
He is honestly is still not sure if he should have done that.
The robot known as Mombot for sure opened an entire floodgate of new problems in his opinion.
Even if he admits that the circuitry and programming was far beyond his own comprehension, he was a paleonthologist and biologist first rather than a roboticist.
At the end Mombot had become another part of their lives in this new world.
While the Alpha Trio wouldn't admit it out loud, they for sure enjoyed the company from time to time and the motherly care she gave.
Seth and himself didn't mind it a lot, they were far beyond those things in this day and age, especially with the situation at hand, even though they will admit the homemade meals were a very good change of pace.
But Rod and Laura? they had come to love the robot like a 2nd mother to them.
A loving and caring mother.
But of course the mystery of who had created such a robot still standed up in the air.
Whenever they tried to ask Mombot she would just go on saying that her family made her and that she was still looking for them.
She had tried more than once to search for said family on the borders to not good results, the neighbours making it difficult for someone like her to really approach without raising alarms.
They though she would stay a little longer, but then, she got a transmission.
It was during a day when she was making breakfast, the always diligent Mombot just stood there, with the food almost burning.
No one knew what was happening, they though she had suffered a malfucntion or something.
But when she came back to be herself she just said words that made it clear things were coming to an end.
''Hah, so you finally decided to call your mother back, with a surprise on top of that''
He remembers those words, he knew very well that the transmission must have been from his creator.
From the family she was so desesperately looking for.
'' So I suppose this is the goodbye then'' He said in still a neutral tone.
He didn't like this one bit, for someone to just go away like that, especially after knowing their territory for months now was a huge risk he was taking.
He had talked with Seth over this desicion, his logical part said that he should just scrap the robot and to avoid any future headaches.
But his emotional part had others things to say.
He may not be as attached to the robot, but his grandkids? that was an entirely different matter.
He still remembers peeking when Mombot told them both that she was going away for a time.
They cried a river of tears, Rod holding Mombot metallic apron begging her to not to go, while Laura outright tried to use her powers to keep Mombot from going away.
It broke him to see his grandkids like that.
Yet despite everything, Mombot did everything in her programming to calm them down, to reassure them that this was not a permanent goodbye.
His grandkids had really come to see that robot as a 2nd mother.
Before he could even intervene Mombot had already calmed the both of them, told them she will still be in contact with them and that maybe they could even visit her family.
''They say you cannot choose your family, I say that is a load of hot air, I was made and programmed to be a mother kids, I can be my family mother while also being yours, what we had these last months will never be erased from my core processor that much I secure you, besides more than a permanent stay with them, it is mostly a good old unnanounced visit, my boys are already grown up, but well checking every once and then on them is a mother's duty, without counting my son has been quite busy and added some new members to the family if the transmission I got is to go by, let me tell you two, you will see me again when you less expect it''
Mombot was truly a master at being well a mother as both kids agreeded making the promise they would see each other again.
He knew whatever complain he had would be outweighted by the sadness of his grandkids should he even raise a finger againts Mombot.
''Now, now Doctor, we know this is just a temporal goodbye, I will make sure to come back for a visit to Rod and Laura whenever I can'' Mombot said in a pleasant tone.
He just looked her at her blue eyes and said '' I will hold you to that, I have given the order to Ed to accompany you to the borders after that you will be on your own''
''Thanks Doctor, I will miss this place and I hope you take care of yourself, Rod and Laura really worry about you sometimes'' Mombot said as she walked to the door giving some last words to the doctor before she went out.
''... I will'' He said in a honest tone, when she was finally gone, he will not admit it outloud, but he will miss her for the time, having someone actively caring for you was a nice change of pace by the end of the day.
Before he could continue with his train of thoughs for this month schelude Seth came into the room.
''Sir are you sure it is a good idea to just let her go like that?'' Seth asked actively questioning the choice.
'' No, it is not a good idea, but sadly any benefit of trying to intervene will result in a fallout with my grandkids if I touch even one cog from Mombot'' he said in a defeated tone.
'' I suppose that is true, but I feel there is something else to this isn't it?'' Seth asked the doctor.
'' Heh, knew you can always see the bigger picture Seth, apart from the wishes from my grandkids, there is also the matter of Mombot itself, we still barely were able to get a glimpse at the technology she was made from, but both Rod and Ed were impressed by whoever made her, I may not be a roboticist, but it actively takes someone equal to them to impress those two when it comes to technology and whatever glimpse we got at said technology from both Rod and Ed words it would take us months to even recreate at least both the circuitry and the AI on a lower end scale'' the Doctor started his train of though.
''So by letting her go and reaching her destination you feel we could get in contact not only with her creator who is obviously on par or maybe a superior to Rod and Ed when it comes to technology, but also possibly gain a powerful ally'' Seth finished the train of though.
'' Indeed, for as much as I feel proud of my dinosaur army, this world is a strange one and starting to make connections with people that may hold more information is a lot more important, whenever said contact is good or bad, eh we will cross that bridge when we get there, but it is obvious we won't be able to relly forever on our old tactics so we need to adapt, information is power after all Seth, besides I wouldn't mind meeting new faces, better than that Goji guy asking me to buy out my dinosaurs at least'' The doctor finished.
The great Doctor Z may be the king of the dinosaurs, but he knows that may not be enough at future, so maybe just maybe letting Mombot go to get to said family may net him something in return.
All he can do now is wait and see if his gamble pays off.
AN: well here is my contribution for the Egg family, honestly the old dinasaur coot makes the most sense that mombot would get along, mostly due to his grandkids Rod and Laura, also to give someone the perspective of how truly advanced even Boom Eggman manufacturing and AI developing is, Mombot was programmed to well act as someone mom and that is something Eggman got out of the park on Boom, for all their differences Morpho and Eggman did care a lot about Mombot.

Whenever they tried to ask Mombot she would just go on saying that her family made her and that she was still looking for them.
She had tried more than once to search for said family on the borders to not good results, the neighbours making it difficult for someone like her to really approach without raising alarms.
They though she would stay a little longer, but then, she got a transmission.
It was during a day when she was making breakfast, the always diligent Mombot just stood there, with the food almost burning.
No one knew what was happening, they though she had suffered a malfucntion or something.
But when she came back to be herself she just said words that made it clear things were coming to an end.
''Hah, so you finally decided to call your mother back, with a surprise on top of that''
He remembers those words, he knew very well that the transmission must have been from his creator.
From the family she was so desesperately looking for.
'' So I suppose this is the goodbye then'' He said in still a neutral tone.
He didn't like this one bit, for someone to just go away like that, especially after knowing their territory for months now was a huge risk he was taking.
He had talked with Seth over this desicion, his logical part said that he should just scrap the robot and to avoid any future headaches.
But his emotional part had others things to say.
He may not be as attached to the robot, but his grandkids? that was an entirely different matter.
He still remembers peeking when Mombot told them both that she was going away for a time.
They cried a river of tears, Rod holding Mombot metallic apron begging her to not to go, while Laura outright tried to use her powers to keep Mombot from going away.
It broke him to see his grandkids like that.
Yet despite everything, Mombot did everything in her programming to calm them down, to reassure them that this was not a permanent goodbye.
His grandkids had really come to see that robot as a 2nd mother.
Before he could even intervene Mombot had already calmed the both of them, told them she will still be in contact with them and that maybe they could even visit her family.
''They say you cannot choose your family, I say that is a load of hot air, I was made and programmed to be a mother kids, I can be my family mother while also being yours, what we had these last months will never be erased from my core processor that much I secure you, besides more than a permanent stay with them, it is mostly a good old unnanounced visit, my boys are already grown up, but well checking every once and then on them is a mother's duty, without counting my son has been quite busy and added some new members to the family if the transmission I got is to go by, let me tell you two, you will see me again when you less expect it''
Mombot was truly a master at being well a mother as both kids agreeded making the promise they would see each other again.
He knew whatever complain he had would be outweighted by the sadness of his grandkids should he even raise a finger againts Mombot.
''Now, now Doctor, we know this is just a temporal goodbye, I will make sure to come back for a visit to Rod and Laura whenever I can'' Mombot said in a pleasant tone.
He just looked her at her blue eyes and said '' I will hold you to that, I have given the order to Ed to accompany you to the borders after that you will be on your own''
''Thanks Doctor, I will miss this place and I hope you take care of yourself, Rod and Laura really worry about you sometimes'' Mombot said as she walked to the door giving some last words to the doctor before she went out.
''... I will'' He said in a honest tone, when she was finally gone, he will not admit it outloud, but he will miss her for the time, having someone actively caring for you was a nice change of pace by the end of the day.
Before he could continue with his train of thoughs for this month schelude Seth came into the room.
''Sir are you sure it is a good idea to just let her go like that?'' Seth asked actively questioning the choice.
'' No, it is not a good idea, but sadly any benefit of trying to intervene will result in a fallout with my grandkids if I touch even one cog from Mombot'' he said in a defeated tone.
'' I suppose that is true, but I feel there is something else to this isn't it?'' Seth asked the doctor.
'' Heh, knew you can always see the bigger picture Seth, apart from the wishes from my grandkids, there is also the matter of Mombot itself, we still barely were able to get a glimpse at the technology she was made from, but both Rod and Ed were impressed by whoever made her, I may not be a roboticist, but it actively takes someone equal to them to impress those two when it comes to technology and whatever glimpse we got at said technology from both Rod and Ed words it would take us months to even recreate at least both the circuitry and the AI on a lower end scale'' the Doctor started his train of though.
''So by letting her go and reaching her destination you feel we could get in contact not only with her creator who is obviously on par or maybe a superior to Rod and Ed when it comes to technology, but also possibly gain a powerful ally'' Seth finished the train of though.
'' Indeed, for as much as I feel proud of my dinosaur army, this world is a strange one and starting to make connections with people that may hold more information is a lot more important, whenever said contact is good or bad, eh we will cross that bridge when we get there, but it is obvious we won't be able to relly forever on our old tactics so we need to adapt, information is power after all Seth, besides I wouldn't mind meeting new faces, better than that Goji guy asking me to buy out my dinosaurs at least'' The doctor finished.
The great Doctor Z may be the king of the dinosaurs, but he knows that may not be enough at future, so maybe just maybe letting Mombot go to get to said family may net him something in return.
All he can do now is wait and see if his gamble pays off.
AN: well here is my contribution for the Egg family, honestly the old dinasaur coot makes the most sense that mombot would get along, mostly due to his grandkids Rod and Laura, also to give someone the perspective of how truly advanced even Boom Eggman manufacturing and AI developing is, Mombot was programmed to well act as someone mom and that is something Eggman got out of the park on Boom, for all their differences Morpho and Eggman did care a lot about Mombot.
