As the Blue Typhoon emerged from the light it was revealed to have been transported to a distant deserted planet, on the command bridge Tails was still holding Cosmo tightly as he lnew last time everyone had been thrown around, luckily he'd managed to keep her from flying into a wall ,or worse, "Are you okay Cosmo?" he asked her, she nodded and soon after Knuckles and Sonic appeared on the bridge, "So, you're a metarex spy then." Knuckles said while advancing on the two, "I didn't know about it! I swear I would never help them willingly!" Cosmo defended, but Knuckles continued to advence on her.
As he advanced on her however, Tails took a defensive stance in front of her and said, "She's not lying, you didn't hear all of it so i'll tell you this, the metarex put a device in her head that allows them to hear and see everything she does." Knuckles stopped dead in his tracks, "Sorry kid, guess I overreacted huh?" he said, "Maybe we should check to see if there's any way of getting it out." Sonic suggested, Tails and Cosmo agreed even though Tails knew what the results would be, they went to the medical bay and Cosmo sat on a bed under a machine.
As Tails began to leave the room he was stopped when Cosmo asked, "Tails, what does this machine even do?" he turned around and said reassuringly, "It allows us to see inside of you, we'll be able to find that device and most likely find a way to get it out, but don't worry because it doesn't hurt, it's more of an x ray actually but it allows us to do many more things." Cosmo laid down on the bed as Tails left the room.
Tails, Sonic, and Knuckles all looked at the results carefully, Tails found the device first as he'd seen hte results before, "Right there." he said, as they zoomed in on the area Tails hoped he'd changed something that would allow them to get it out, but sadly it was the same, "Well the only way to get it out is through a surgery, she might never see or hear again but I say we go for it." Knuckles stated, "I've gotta agree with you on this one Knux mainly because the ship's safety is in danger, so then it's decided, let's get started." Sonic agreed, but Tails wouldn't hear it.
"Are you crazy! She could lose her sight and hearing if we do this!" he screamed so loud that Cosmo could hear him in the other room, "Tails, if we don't do this then the metarex will know all of our battle plans to take them down." Sonic said, trying to convince him, "We know you care about her and we respect that, but it has to be done." Knuckles agreed while beginning to grab tools for the surgery, "As captain I completely deny both of you access to the ship's medical tools!" Tails said, as Knuckles tried to open the drawer with the tools in it his hand was shocked by electricity.
"Tails! Give us back the access now!" Knuckles demanded, but he refused, "If she loses her sight and hearing, then how will I be able to tell her I love her? Answer that problem while you're trying to cut her open!" Tails screamed only the last part loud enough for Cosmo to hear, and she was terrified , "Tails, we didn't know you felt that strongly about her, but it still has to be done," Sonic said while walking over to him, "now give us back the access we need." Tails firmly shook his head and said, "No, I won't allow this on MY SHIP! Have you two forgotten I own this thing!?" Knuckles and Sonic were taken aback by his outburst and decided to give him some time alone with Cosmo to talk things over.
But Cosmo had heard enough and had buried herself in the bed's covers, scared that Tails would change his mind and approve of the surgery to be done, she heard the door open and a sound of one person's footsteps, they sat down on the bed with her, "Cosmo, please come out of there." Tails said, while gently tugging at the covers over her, "Please don't let them do this Tails, I don't want this to happen." he understood why Cosmo would think he'd approve the surgery, as captain of the Blue Typhoon he was the one in charge of all the desicions and approval of any medical surgery commenced on board, "Cosmo I won't let them do this, they won't be able to get anywhere near those tools or you, not while i'm in charge of the ship." Tails reassured her, Cosmo uncovered herself and cried into his shoulder for several minutes, after about half an hour her breathing steadied and she said, "T-Thank you Tails, you're always so kind to me." as they talked about different things however they were unaware of what Mark was plotting.
"I swear he will fail, but even without his soul I can still destroy anything in my way!" Mark screamed as his massive ship flew through a void of darkness, with thousands of cannons, rail guns, and missles, along with armor neraly ass strong as Mark's it was nearly impossible to destroy, several portals beside the ship led to different dimensions and time periods, but Mark wanted to appear when they least expected it, "There! Travel through that one!" he commanded, his crew pushed several buttons on several consoles and the ship began to slowly turn towards a portal that led to the galactic core where the final battle would take place, but the battle would this time not be against the metarex, instead it would be against his ship and there would be no escape for anyone.
The ship's hull was a combination of all five metarex commander's ships and Scarship's hulls, but it was pitch black with part of the underside on the stern cut out for a dock and launch area for many smaller cruisers, on the stern's side and top were five engines similar to Scarship's, the turrets were similar to the metarex ones but with four barrels and shot black gunshots that were ten times as powerful on the ones on the flagship, "Those metarex will scream in fear and die! With all of their souls I shall then unleash my full power!" Mark said as his ship came closer to the vortex, it went through and came face to face with the entire metarex fleet, the ship dwarfed even the flagship of the fleet by at least a thousand meters, Dark Oak saw the ship and immediatly recognized it as Mark's, he began to panic and said, "Fire all the weapons on all the ships!"
The metarex ships all fired with everything they had, but it was no use as Mark's ship fired back, the missles and gunshots destroyed half of the entire fleet instantly, Mark gave the order to finish them off, the ship fired all of it's weapons and destroyed the reamaining ships, but Dark Oak's flagship managed to limp away to safety, "Hah! And you call yourself evil!?" Mark taunted while absorbing all the souls that he'd freed from their bodies, he was ready to finish off his oldest enemy, the universe itself turned it's back on him and he wanted revenge, he would now have it as he pleased.
