The Grand Finale

"What?!" Doctor Eggman couldn't help but exclaim when he saw that while his Brilliant Atomizer had left a huge crater where Central City once was, Sonic's best friend, Tails, had flown out with his propeller tails unscathed with many other people that were supposed to be in the blast radius also fine as well as they moved from the United Federation's now cloaked capital.
Sonic, having previously felt despair when he believed he failed to stop the Atomizer from firing, had then felt a return of hope seeing the people he sought to save still okay. Still, it left more questions than answers. "How could this happen?" He couldn't help but ask.
Just before more words could be said, a large explosion soon shook Eggman's headquarters in Metropolis, which the neighboring supercomputer both registered and analyzed.
"Warning: Brilliant Atomizer has self-destructed. Analysis: Atomizing effect sequenced to DNA of Sonic the Hedgehog and Ivo Robotnik."
"What?!" The two archfoes declared in alarm.
The supercomputer's image soon changed to a recording of Metal Sonic, who's robotic voice indicated a smug sense of triumph. "It appears that I win, my loathsome inspiration and pathetic creator. You will both perish."
With the transmission over, Sonic and Eggman glared at each other, both of them conveying through facial expressions that only one of them would be the one to escape the blast radius while the other was lost to history forevermore.
"Settle this on the way out as usual?" Sonic asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"You're on, Hedgehog!" Eggman replied as his command console soon took the form of an Egg Mobile.
The two archnemeses then began to race and battle each other as they made their own attempts to escape.

This is mostly just part of Archie Sonic #50 if it was adapted in the Sega games, but you can make of it what you will. Of course, I'd follow up with this as a story with Eggman either coming back on his own or being replaced temporarily or permanently by Classic Eggman who may or may not bring him back. Call it a weird fondness for the best that Archie could do with Sonic. Also I'm concluding this just so you all know.
By the way, sorry it took me a long while to get back to this. Writing about multiple fandoms isn't easy, that's for sure. Anyway, I just want you all to know that with this update as well as my others for Dragon Ball Alternate Paths, Fairy Tail Alternate Paths, and Possibilities for Sonic Chronicles, I'll be taking a long break from writing about one-shots and challenge stories, so that I can focus on longer story writing, regardless of the length. I'll also be posting my stuff on Ko-fi a month before I do so on FanfictionNet, DeviantArt, and Archive of Our Own, so if you want, you're more than welcome to be on the lookout.
