Peach giggled. "Typical of Dimensional Island, right?"
"V...very well," Geno replied to Leila, still confused as to why she insisted on calling him by his true name. Was she...?
He looked up and found distraction in Peach as marveled her calm disposition as she instructed the doctors where to take them and what to do. He remembered her as the nurturing member of the party, not just the healer, but the maternal figure. Knowing what she chose as a side profession... it brought a nostalgic smile to his face.
When at last Sonic and Byzantine were taken into their rooms to rest and heal, the princess twirled back around and squealed, and then next thing he knew he was in another tight embrace.
"Omigosh-Geno-it's-been-forever-and-a-day!!" Peach rushed out in excitement, hugging him tightly.

Mario helped Peach organize the doctors, then turned back to Geno and Leila, who was still trying to convince the doctors she didn't require any help.
"I'm just fine," she said, "I was just asleep... for a very long time!" She turned to Geno, seeing him in another hug. Why was he so close to these people? He seemed closer to these humans than he was to his own kind. Was that what happened to a star spirit who stayed down on earth too long?
Deciding to use the name he had been given, she turned to Geno. "Excuse me, Guardian Geno... I think I'm missing a lot of information on where we are and what we're doing here... Do you think you could help to fill me in?"

"Y-yes.. it's.. good to see you too," Geno choked out in Peach's tight grip. "Can't breathe~!"
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Peach finally broke off, giving Geno a chance to catch his breath. He's warmer than I remember... I suppose that's what memory does~ She turned to Leila. "Hm?"
"A...(heave)... absolutely," Geno replied to her question, nodding to the other two. "I think we all have to catch each other up to speed."
----Some time later-----
(This is a good time for ryo and Marky to rejoin us. Let's assume Sonic and Byzantine were placed in the same room, opposite ends)

Sonic was tossing and turning in his sleep, sweating, breathing heavily. Normally he was never at conflict with his innermost darkside but... If that was the case, what was happening to him now?
From his dreams, he was in a ruined world, everything reverted to black and white. An enormous, three eyed, horned monster stood before him, red eyes breaking the black and white rulover. Sonic couldn't make out much of his words, but he did recognize the shape- and, worst of all, the current event he was reliving. A horrifying mist was tossed out and engulfed Sonic, slowly transforming him into his current, werehog form, but went much further than that.
Horns appeared in his head, his build was much more disgruntled and bulky, he looked almost... like a true demon. With a blood curtling howl, he quickly turned, eyeing the other members of his team- all of them blocked by silhoutes except one- his best Friend, Tails.
"Sonic," He was terrified. "Sonic, Don't you recognize me?!" but he didn't last. the horrendous figure hurled itself at Tails, Sonic himself trapped, unable to do anything to prevent it.
As if on cue, he finally awoke from his deep, nightmarish slumber. "Tails, NOOOO! I can't, I won't-!" It took him a minute to realize what just happened. He looked at his hands, not clawwed, still perfectly normal. No demon's horns, no exagerrated claws. He wasn't that... THING, that further influenced version of the Werehog... and he hoped he never would be...
...wait, did he even know where he was? He glanced around, viewing everything. Medicine, clean floors, Glass, nurses hurrying back and forth... They made it. They had gotten to the hospital, and that calmed his nerves a bit... Though he didn't pay attention to his current doctor. "Man, what a nightmare..." he sighed.

Byzantine awakes at the comfort of his hospital bed. You have to think that's the most comfortable place he's been, seeing since today, he's been popped out of a prison pod, walking in the desert, jumping high skies and in near exhaustion due to him mishandling his powers. At last, he had the comfort he wanted.
He looks down and noticed his robe is gone, and is replaced by a less majestic robe... with his posterior region hanging out for all to see.
"Oh, that's nice," was all Byzantine can think of saying at this moment. He woke up just enough to see the rodent clamor about tails. What kind of tail, he neither knows or cares, he's more surprised the rodent made it.
He lifts up his head enough to project his full voice, hoping that the doctors checking on him will not be an obstacle.
"Hey, blue guy, are you alright?"
Then, a voice between them spoke. "Oh, my head. How long have I been knocked out? Cylan... Cylan? You're not Cylan. You are entirely blue!"

Mario nodded, hearing Peach's explanation.
"Makes sense, makes sense. I really have been gone for a while, haven't I?" he joked, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. He was interrupted by shouting from the recently-occupied rooms. "Tails?" It must have been Sonic. He'd told Mario about Tails before. "Princess, I think we should go make sure he's all right," he suggested, already heading toward Sonic's room.
Leila on the other hand was finishing receiving a debriefing from Geno. "So you got an ancient treasure?" She tilted her head. "And then you warped here, along with me, and two others?" It sounded strange. She had no memory of that. Evidently the girl whose body she'd stolen was the one with those memories. She decided she should try to at least access them. It might help.

"...oh! I think you're right!" Peach agreed, hustling herself into the room. Sure enough, Sonic was upright and distraught, though seemed to have gotten a gauge on his surroundings fairly quickly, calming down. The other patient seemed to be awakening too, and though both were moaning groggily like a couple of zombies, Peach greeted them with bright smiles.
"Well, rise and shine, you two!"
-----------------
The doll nodded. "That's correct."
The whole situation was... baffling. He didn't know anything about this girl or her behaviors and quirks and the like, but he was still getting the feeling that she wasn't acting like herself. Like how a high-school girl should. Not to mention the fact that she knew his true identity practically right off the bat.
Still... it felt strange and rude to ask her directly about her oft behaviour. So he humored her and explained the situation. And now, he felt it was fair enough to politely ask for the same in return.
"So... how about you? What's the story behind you and the other guy we brought here? What were you two doing out in the middle of the desert?"

(for basic reference, let's say it's still daylight.)
Sonic looked up at Peach, the apparent doctor of he and his room-mate. He gave himself a quick look-over- bandages all over, but no pain. Atleast that was taken care of, he couldn't stand being bloody all over. "Well, good morning to you, lady," he began, working his way out of bed. "or afternoon, I just know the sun's still in the sky, at least."
Getting out of bed, he softly stretched, only cringing slightly. Then, politely, offered his leather gloved hand to the head doctor in front of him. "My name's Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog."

"And my name's Byzantine, ma'am," he says as he lets out a big moan.
Despite the moan, he felt okay. He is no longer fatigued. The only thing he is worried about is the loss of his robes, shoes, and gloves, replaced by what seems to be hospital garments, or so he believes. At least he's not naked.
The light is still blinding, as his blurred vision sees the blue rodent getting up to great the doctor.
"Oh, I see you are alright," Byzantine mumbled. "I'm doing fine, too, thanks for asking... you blue... monstrosity," he finishes saying as discreetly as he can.
He assumes that he is in a normal state, and during his exhaustion and resting period, he did not split into three. That's a good thing, because the last thing anyone needs to find out is that he can do that, well, among other things.
He gets out of bed slowly, taking his right hand to his neck, and quickly snaps his neck. Routinely, forgetting that he's not in full gear, he touches his toes.

Mario nodded, glad the two patients were in good health. He let Peach to her work, remaining with her only for moral support. He knew firsthand how capable she could be when she set her mind to something, and knew better than to interfere.
----------
Leila frowned. "Out in the desert...?" She closed her eyes. The girl she had been seemed to have some phantom memory of a desert. Her previous situation. A desert, a temple of some kind... and a man. Very vague images, flashing across her consciousness too fast to fully process.
"I honestly don't know, and was hoping you could shed some light on it," she said, still staring at Geno with a respect-induced look. If one didn't know any better, one would say that Geno could well order Leila to cause irreparable harm to herself, and all she would ask was, "Where?"

"Oh!" Peach seemed surprised as the two of them already started to rise up. "Oh, my, don't push yourselves, you still might be hurt," she urged, though calmed down slightly when they didn't seem to be causing themselves much pain.
"Ahhhh... very well then! It's good to meet you, Byzantine..." She turned a fond smile to the hedgehog. "...and Sonic. It's been too long since the tournament! How have you been?"
----------------
Geno could only stare for a moment, then rubbed where his temple would be. Well, this was getting nowhere fast.
"Well... I didn't meet you until you collapsed in front of the Sun Temple out West, so I'm afraid I can't help you in that department," he sighed. "Almost as if you were... a different person before you lost consciousness. Do you remember, at all, who you are?"

Sonic moved a hand toward his ear and scratched his head. "Tournament? And how do you know my name, lady?" This was more than a little confusing...
Wait. Thinking about it, he came across an old memory... "...Oooh, I get it, you must've met one of my others. Those guys from the other universes! Man, it's been a few years since i messed around with those guys..." Then he remembered- now wasn't the time to remeness. "Oh, right. Sorry, ma'am, I'm sure you'd know me, that being the case, but I don't think I know who you are..."

"Hmm. There's more than one talking rodent in this place. I suppose that's understandable, seeing tha there's a place where this one lives," muttered Byzantine, as he realized there's a draft comming from his back. The second he got up from his stretch, he checked the robe and noticed that there a little separation.
"Oh dear..." He said as he let out a blush and a sigh of frustration.
"Where are my robes? Where are my gloves? Where's the... little girl? Rhea? Rhea?"

Mario tilted his head at Sonic. An alternate universe Sonic? He'd been looking forward to catching up with him, but it looked like he wouldn't have any clue what he was talking about. The other one was up, asking about his clothes, which brought a light chuckle to Mario. If he were in that situation that'd be a pretty big concern of his too.
------
"Who I am?" Leila looked down at herself. She sure didn't feel like herself. Was she someone else?
Rhea? Rhea?
She shook her head, the name bringing back a phantom memory. Nothing, surely. Couldn't be. Could it?
"I honestly don't know anymore."

"They will be returned to you once you recover!" Peach insisted, sitting Byzantine back on the bed. "Please! The less you push yourself, the less time it will take!"
Sighing, she nodded to Sonic. "I see... well, then!" She curtsied. "I am Princess Peach Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom! And this is my dear friend, Mario!"
--------
Geno frowned. Completely clean memory. That definitely wasn't good.
"...well..." He was sort of stuck. What was he supposed to do now? He couldn't just dump an amnesia-ridden child somewhere... but the journey he was on was dangerous.
