Chapter 15 - Mission Objective#1

(Old Train Station – Outside)

Taiyo, Luigi, and Utopia are outside of the old Train Station with Sonic as Tails and others talked them through their hologram wrist communicators.

"Eggman said when the plan is completed, we'll all be wiped out!" Tails urged, worrying Taiyo, Sonic, Luigi, and Utopia.

"For real?!" Luigi asked.

"It is like something happening in the Equestria." Utopia concurred.

"I don't like the sound of that. Normally I'd just laugh at an Eggman plan, but he's already conquered most of the world so... What's this plan of his?" Knuckles asked.

"Hey, I hate to butt in on your important meeting, but we're under attack! Shadow is tearing through our troops! We need reinforcements!" Vector said.

"Shadow?" Taiyo asked.

"The last time I saw him he was fighting for Eggman." Sonic murmured.

"That doesn't make sense. Why would Shadow help the enemy?" Knuckles asked.

"Perhaps he's being controlled by that strange power?" Silver wondered.

"No, maybe not." Utopia said.

"And why is that?" Silver asked.

"Because we saw Infinite somehow bring the baddies into the glitch and turns out they are the copies, not ordinaries." Utopia answered.

"That means Shadow is still in our side." Tails replied.

"Well, that was a huge relief. Thanks for letting me know, Utopia." Knuckles said.

"At least Shadow still in our team, but we'll figure it out!" Sonic said before he speeded off into the City.

"Sonic, wait! We already figure it out!" Taiyo replied.

"Um, Taiyo. We still haven't figured it out about that ruby." Luigi said.

Taiyo felt dumbfounded and sighed. "Right."

Then Sonic zipped back to the others. "Sorry, were you saying?"

"What is our objective?" Taiyo asked.

Sonic sighed with a facepalmed. "We'll go to the Sunset Heights, I believe this 'fake Shadow' was there."

(Green Hill City – Sunset Heights)

Sunset Heights is a quaint downtown area in the Green Hill City that has since been besieged and destroyed by Dr. Eggman's robot armies, turning it into an all-out warzone. Sunset Heights is a deserted, Eggman Empire-besieged town area in the Green Hill City set during a partially clouded sunset that adds to the overall glum mood of the stage. The area's densely built buildings resemble those found in real-life cities like San Diego. Sunset Heights itself is built in a blocky hill landscape with layered soil in different shades of brown and green grass on top of the hills that favors Green Hill. There is also a long red bridge in the background that stretches across a large portion of Sunset Heights. Also depicted in the background is a coastal area with a green island landscape that is connected to Sunset Heights by small bridge pathways.

Taiyo, Luigi, Utopia, and Sonic were at the Sunset Heights which referred to in the downtown area; their jobs is to eliminate the Heartless and the Badniks.

"Alright, we're here. We better finished up the Heartless and the Badniks before finding Shadow." Sonic replied.

"Don't you mean 'fake Shadow'? You said it already." Luigi reminded.

"Oh yeah, I probably did. My mistake." Sonic shrugged in embarrassment as Utopia rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Taiyo sensed the laser orbs coming from behind them before he alerted them. "Get out of the way!

The three of them obeyed him as they jumped over to the debris as they saw the group of Heartless and Badniks, consisted of Egg Soldiers, Mini-Death Eggs, Buzz Bombers, and Egg Pawns.

"Look likes we have to take care of them, personally." Utopia replied.

"Got that right." Sonic admitted sarcastically.

"Charge!" Taiyo shouted.

Taiyo, Luigi, Utopia, and Sonic charged forward at the enemies.

Sonic used his Spin Dashes on some Badniks and Mini-Death Eggs which destroyed them and landed on the ground before striking his poses.

Taiyo blocked Buzz Bombers' firing rail detonators before he casts the Aeroga to blow them away and the huge curved wind still damaging them which caused to explode. The Egg Pawns were firing the laser beams at the adolescent boy before he rolled across the ground to dodge the beams and sliced through the robots in half, detonated the explosion in the process.

Luigi was corned by the Egg Soldiers and Buzz Bombers before they are ready to aim and fire their firepower blasts as he quickly placed his hands on the ground, creating the green wave of electricity to shock them all and disintegrated them.

"That's almost too easy." Luigi smirked as he rubbed his nostrils.

Yoshi jumped onto the Mini-Death Egg before rips out its head from its body, shutting it down before jumped on another one as he materialized his hands into stone and punching at its head, causing to fry the circuits into its body. The two Mini-Death Eggs are running towards the green dinosaur as Yoshi proceed to use his Stone Punches on them, sparking their systems before becoming outdated.

Utopia blasted his magical beams at the Buzz Bombers and Egg Pawns, vaporizing them into nothingness. Then the Mini-Death Eggs projectile their arms and wrapped around his body, restraining him and electrocuting him which made him cried in anguish.

"Utopia, hold on!" Luigi urged before he dashed forward the Mini-Death Eggs before cutting the lines with his Electro Blade, setting Utopia free.

"Thanks!" Utopia replied before he shot each of them with his magical orbs from his horn.

Once all the enemies were gone, Sonic noticed Shadow who was walking towards him, Taiyo, Luigi, and Utopia.

"All right, Shadow! What's the deal?" Sonic doubted.

Shadow didn't give his response and charges toward Sonic and others not before knocking Taiyo, Luigi, and Utopia to the ground.

"Guys, you alright?" Sonic urged.

"That's one tough bad hedgehog." Utopia replied.

"Sonic, this is not a real Shadow. It's a clone." Taiyo said.

"How should I know that?" Sonic asked cynically.

Shadow dashed toward Sonic, who raised his hands to his face in defense. Shadow leaped and prepared to deliver the first blow on Sonic.

"Chaos Control!" A real Shadow yelled.

Everything was freeze in time as another Shadow jumped towards the fake Shadow before the roundhouse kicks the imposter away from sonic, defeating him as he is sent tumbling back up the ground, landing face-down on the cobblestones out cold, time goes back to normal. Taiyo, Luigi, Sonic, and Utopia watched in confusion.

"Another Shadow?!" Sonic surprised as the fake Shadow disappeared in the glitches. "He just disappeared.

"That was fake." Shadow answered.

"A fake? How?" Sonic asked.

Luigi grunted in annoyance before he gave a punch the blue hedgehog in the head.

"Ouch! What's that for?" Sonic cried.

"Haven't you been listening?! It was just the projection of Shadow!" Luigi shouted.

"Okay, okay, okay. You're getting the point. Sorry." Sonic retorted.

Luigi sighed cynically as Shadow turned to Taiyo.

"I take that as an introduction. I'm Shadow the Hedgehog." Shadow replied.

"I haven't met you before, Shadow. You're still helping Sonic and his friends?" Taiyo asked.

"Most of the time when the world needs." Shadow said.

"Shadow, can you fill us the details." Luigi replied.

"Infinite can create virtual reality projections. They have mass and form, but no heart and soul." Shadow explained.

"Virtual reality? So, all those familiar faces that were part of Eggman's army…" Sonic realized.

"Replicas. The problem is, they may not be real, but their powers are as formidable as the originals. According to Rouge, Infinite can create unlimited numbers of them." Shadow said.

"So, fight after fight, he can just keep cranking up counterfeits?" Sonic questioned.

"Exactly. As it stands, there's no way we can win this." Shadow replied.

"Of course, we can win this! We always do! We just haven't figured that part out, yet." Sonic gleamed.

"I guess we have to leave all up to Alphonse, Mario, and Geno. By the way, where are they?" Taiyo asked, peeving Sonic, Luigi, Utopia, and Shadow.

"They are heading to the Metropolis. Come on, more of the troops are still attacking the city." Sonic said.

Sonic then sped up out of the town area as Taiyo, Luigi, and Utopia are following him, leaving Shadow who dashed in the opposite direction.

(Mystic Jungle)

Alphonse was running through in the Mystic Jungle as Geno was flying in the air with the thrusters and holds Mario. Mario heard the beeping sounds coming from wrist communicator and turned it on as the screen pops up as he sees Knuckles, Espio, Silver, Charmy, Vector, and Tails were on the G.U.N's military cargo aircraft along with Resistance soldiers and G.U.N.'s swat team

"Knuckles, we are on our way to the Metropolis." Mario reported.

"Good! Now listen up! We just got word that Eggman's forces are undermanned at his headquarters in Metropolis." Knuckles replied.

"They're probably staging somewhere else as part of Eggman's plan. This could be our only chance to take the city." Espio deduced.

"Exactly! That's why we're focusing on a full-frontal assault on Metropolis! I'm calling it, 'Operation Big Wave'!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"Sounds legit to me, Knuckles." Mario remarked.

"Thank you." Knuckles smirked.

"Who cares what it's called? What's important is to have a well thought out strategy." Silver retorted.

"I thought up this strategy in about a minute and a half. We're going in hard and fast and we're not going to stop till Eggman's army's destroyed. Sonic is busy fighting Shadow, but the rest of us can do this! We've got the strength and the spirit to win. There's no finer group that I'd want to fight with." Knuckles spoked.

"Ha! Great speech! Let's give Eggman an old-fashioned beat down!" Vector agreed.

"They have more in sheer numbers, so the idea of a quick, focused attack isn't bad. We also have Sonic- I mean, the other Sonic- so I have no doubt we can do this! Also, if we can destroy the Phantom Ruby, we should be able to send the other Sonic home! At least I hope so... this is all new territory for me..." Tails explained.

"Okay, let's head straight for Eggman's HQ! Time to save the world, people!" Knuckles determined.

"But you also forgot about me." A familiar girl's voice spoke.

Knuckles, Tails, Vector, Silver, and Espio turned to Sari which caused them completely shocked, even Mario and Geno.

"Look who's there." Geno hides his smirking when his face is blushing.

"You gotta be kidding me." Vector muttered.

"Sari?! What are you doing here?!" Knuckles demanded.

"You are not supposed to go with us!" Charmy responded.

"What am I doing here? I am here to help." Sari retorted.

"But General Eggman was not allowed you to join us. You defied his order." Silver replied.

"I know I'm going to say about this situation." Sari said.

"Listen, kid. This is not like the trip, it is classified." Vector firmed.

"I am saying that my Dad changed his mind to let me go with you." Sari replied.

"What?!" Knuckles, Espio, Silver, Charmy, and Vector shouted in shock.

"You heard me. He just said that friends counting on us, especially with handsome android." Sari said with a smitten look when she glanced at Geno.

"Then Decoe and Bocoe were agreed to him. That's all you need to know." Sari finished.

Knuckles sighed reluctantly before he shrugged. "What have I do to deserve? Suit yourself."

Then the echidna Mobian walked away from her, only Charmy came up to her with his blank expression.

"Hm, spoiled bot." Charmy teased before he flew away from her.

"Anyways, see you there." Tails said as the mini screen turned off.

Alphonse called them. "Mario! Geno! We're almost there to the Metropolis!"

"Yeah, I can see up ahead over there. It's not that far." Mario said.

They advanced even quicker to get to Dr. Eggman's city as much as they get.

(Metropolis)

Metropolis is Dr. Eggman's capital city where he held his central headquarters and the most heavily fortified of Eggman's fortresses. Metropolis has a futuristic and pristine but sterile capital with skyscrapers, see-through walkways, and orb-shaped sentries.

Alphonse had left from Mario and Geno, doing the head start on the highway, taking all the Egg-Pawns down. Mario and Geno are running through the buildings, hitting the Nebulas and Buzz Bombers along the way. They stopped in the central area of the capital city called the Traffic Roadway as the Mini-Death Eggs, Nebulas, and Sandworms (appeared out from the hatches) surrounded them.

"They got in our way." Geno replied.

"Not if we can help it." Mario added.

Mario smashed the Mini-Death Eggs into pieces with his Keyblade and destroyed the tons of the Sandworm.

Geno blasted the Nebulas with his Photon Handcannons, vaporizing the bots.

Once the enemies were gone, the tall stretchy clone version of Infinite slithered from the buildings and confronted them.

"Whoa! It's so tall and stretchy!" Mario admired.

Infinite's stretchy clone attacked them with its long arms, but Sari jumped down with her Photon Mallet and bashed them as the clone recoiled back.

"Sari, just in time." Geno smiled.

"I got your back, Geno." Sari said as she winked at him attractively.

The clone then shoots the red glitchy energy projectiles at Mario, Geno, and Sari who were jumping away to avoid the blasts as Sari extends the Cyber Blades and activated her Azusa Skates and Micron Boosters before she dashed into Infinite's copy and slashed everywhere on its body. The Infinite's clone groaned in pain as it tried to grab Sari and clutching her.

"Help me!" Sari yelled.

"I'm coming, Sari!" Geno urged as he activated his boosters to flew straight at it before firing his Light Vision at Infinite's monstrous clone which weakened it.

Then it dropped Sari to the ground as Geno caught her with his arms and Sari was surprised that he was holding her but quickly turned her infatuated expression as Geno descended on the ground.

The Infinite's copy roared at them before shooting the red lasers from its eyes at them before they dodged out of the way. Mario casts the Fission Firaga as the large fireball launched into the monstrous Infinite and it laid down on the ground.

"Quickly! Let finished it off while it's down!" Mario urged.

Geno morphed his hands together into one big futuristic cannon, Mario charged his fireball while posing his hands together at chest level facing the same direction and Sari formed her hands forward and charges a cyan-blue energy sphere.

"Holy Flare!" Geno shouted.

"Chili Gun!" Mario yelled, firing the pale crimson energy beam of fiery.

"High-Pressure Blast!" Sari bellowed, firing the sphere in the form of an energy wave.

The three powerful energy beams collided into one and pierced through a clone of Infinite's chest, distinguishing into the red pixels before dissipating.

"That one's pretty tough than I thought." Mario replied.

"I concur." Geno concurred.

Sari cheered before she hugged Geno tightly. "Geno, I couldn't do without you."

"Well, I am appreciated to you. Thank you." Geno replied, feeling grateful to her and puts his arms around her.

"Come on, you two. We better to regroup with Alphonse." Mario said.

Sari pulled away from Geno as the three of them ran into the highway.

(Metropolis – Bridge)

Infinite was overlooking the city from the top bridge.

Infinite: More ants to crush. I wonder if this world can offer me a real challenge.

Alphonse paces by, only to notice Infinite, causing him to freeze in fear as Infinite took notice of him.

"And as if to answer, the world sends me a trembling child." Infinite replied.

Alphonse starts to back away in fear, only for Infinite to warp up next to the phoenix, shocking the avian and paralyze him in utter terror.

"Are you going to fight and die here? Or, run away in fear again?" Infinite mocked.

Alphonse was backing away from Infinite uneasily, completely scared out of their mind, but then begins remembering Sonic's words.

"Hey, don't be scared! This is your moment to shine! Keep going. Don't let your fear own you!"

Alphonse clenches his fist, replaced his fear with renewed confidence and a determined look on their face, steps up to Infinite and raises his fist against him as if to say 'Bring it'.

"I will never run away, and I can't let that fear happen again!" Alphonse firmed.

"Fine. I will teach you fear, then pain, and then... well, at least the fear and pain will end." Infinite scorned.

Mario, Geno, and Sari arrived in time to see Alphonse was facing Infinite.

"it's Alphonse!" Sari called.

"Look likes he's about to fight Infinite." Geno affirmed.

"Let's go help him, together." Mario replied as they advanced forward to Alphonse and beside him before facing Infinite.

"Well, look who's the brats dragged in? Mario, Geno, and Sari." Infinite said with a displeasure tone.

"Infinite. Just what I want is the rematch." Mario firmed.

"Hm. Very well then. I shall make easy defeat for you as well." Infinite chuckled before he floated in midair.

Mario and Alphonse were rushed forward at Infinite before they jumped to attack him as Infinite projecting the homing shots of red cube-like particles to negate their attacks and hurts them in the process. Geno and Sari then quickly firing the blasts at him which stunned Infinite not before he was inflicted at a rapid rate and conjuring himself in the pixel barrier.

"Imbeciles! Take that!" Infinite yelled, send a red energy wave of virtual reality that inflicted Geno and Sari to the ground.

Infinite then summoned the two cannons made of virtual reality as he shot the missiles at Mario, Geno, Alphonse, and Sari. Giving them to act before avoided from them as Alphonse gave his advantage on Infinite.

"Sharp Feathers!" Alphonse yelled, shot the blade of feathers at Infinite who managed to summon the pixel blocks to defend against the feathers.

Infinite warped himself in the split second before he appeared behind Alphonse and kicked him in the back.

"Here's the one for you!" Mario replied as he swung his Keyblade on Infinite and inflicted him in agony.

Infinite grunted as he conjured the orbs of red pixels before throwing a couple of energy balls at the heroes, but Sari activated the Vibraboom Shield and protecting herself and others from Infinite's energy balls.

"Resistance against my power is not an option than you think." Infinite replied.

Infinite then thrust his hands to summon the wall of cube-like particles to destroy the half part of the highway bridge before conjured another wall of cubes and tried to push them to the far end of it.

"I can't hold it!" Sari alerted.

"Stopza!" Mario cried, freezing Infinite in time.

Mario, Geno, and Alphonse jumped over the Vibraboom Shield and ran forward to Infinite.

"Double Firebrand!" Mario yelled before he shot the two fireballs from the tip of his Ignition Flower and hits Infinite.

"Faith!" Geno replied as he blasted the sphere of light from his hand cannon and struck the jackal Mobian with it.

Alphonse hopped in the air before the Chaos Energy burst around him in the flaming aura.

"Chaos Phoenix Charge!" Alphonse shouted.

The phoenix Mobian charged towards him before giving the impact on Infinite and creating a massive explosion as Infinite is sending flying back to the ground.

"What was that?" Mario asked as he, Sari, and Geno walked to him.

"It is one of my moves, Chaos Phoenix Charge. Steve Eggman extracted the Chaos Emerald's energies into me and modified my Chaos Energy's manipulation abilities." Alphonse answered.

"Not bad." Sari commented.

"Did we get him?" Geno asked before they glanced at Infinite, rises to his feet, feeling intact.

"Why didn't he back down? I used my last resort power to finish him." Alphonse grunted.

Infinite chuckled slowly and sinisterly. "You've put up quite a fight. I underestimated just how desperately the feeble cling to life."

"Well, that is mess up for yourself." Mario glared.

Infinite shook his head before he lifted himself to the air before throwing three energy red spheres at Alphonse, Mario, Geno, and Sari, but they dodged them. In the process, Alphonse dropped his Phantom Ruby prototype and gazed up at him angrily.

"I remember you. You ran from me before." Infinite replied.

Alphonse picked up the Phantom Ruby prototype, never takes his angry eyes off from Infinite.

"You took away my troops but doesn't mean I cannot flee from fear and survive from the cause of destruction you brought!" Alphonse shouted

"You survived then, but you throw it all away now. Curious." Infinite smirked as he manifested several cannons aimed at Alphonse, Mario, Geno, and Sari.

"Oh no, we're sitting targets now." Sari worried.

"This will be goodbye." Infinite said.

The cannons fire at the four heroes as they shielded their face and braces for the impact and explosion, but Alphonse's Phantom Ruby prototype glints, however, causing the projectiles to pass through him and others and explode harmlessly, having temporarily reversed the virtual reality for a split-second. Mario, Geno, Alphonse, and Sari takes notice of what happened before scowling at Infinite again as Infinite is stunned by what just happened himself.

"What!? How is this possible? It can't be... How did you?" Infinite asked.

Infinite fires the cannons again. Mario, Alphonse, Geno, and Sari jumped out of the way of the projectiles this time, but Infinite flies up to Alphonse and releases an energy burst into his torso at point-blank range. Alphonse landed down on the ground on their chest in defeat.

"Alphonse! Are you alright?" Sari concerned, helping him to lift off from the ground.

Alphonse looked at Infinite weakly, even others gazed at him as Infinite speaks, restoring things back to normal reality.

"No matter. They have only two days left. Let them contemplate the inevitable until I end this once and for all. Yes, I won't forget about the fight with Mario and Taiyo." Infinite replied.

Infinite flies away, leaving Alphonse to watch him depart with a weakened look on his face.

"Come on, let's go back to HQ." Geno suggested.

(Resistance HQ)

Having brought Mario, Geno, Sari, Alphonse, and other Resistance back with cargo helicopter, they returned to the headquarters as well reporting to Steve Eggman about Infinite has foiled their plan to attack the Metropolis.

"Things were going well with Operation Big Wave, but then everything fizzled out when that Phantom Ruby kicked in." Knuckles replied.

"I see. Infinite overpowered any of you and foiled the oncoming attack plan as part of Operation Big Wave." Steve murmured.

"Yes, General Eggman. There has to be a way to take Infinite out." Mario replied.

"That fake Shadow was created using the Phantom Ruby's power, right? Even if it's a virtual reality projection, it's as strong as the real Shadow." Silver replied.

"So that explains how Infinite create the copies from the villains and matching their strengths." Steve said.

"Rouge, have you found the intel I was looking for?" Shadow asked.

"No, not yet. But I have reported that Eggman's database is located at the Chemical Plant. If we can check that out, we might find something there." Rouge replied.

Sonic, Taiyo, Luigi, and Utopia entered the room, joined in the conversation along with Tails, Votus, Classic Sonic, and Yoshi

"That sounds like a promising lead. We have to figure out the secret behind Infinite's power and virtual reality. Tails, can you handle this?" Sonic said and asked Tails.

"Got it. I'll take Sonic—I mean, the other Sonic— with me, Votus, and Yoshi and head to the Chemical Plant." Tails replied.

"That we need the information about the Phantom Ruby." Yoshi replied.

"Come on, get moving." Votus added.

(Northern Isle - Chemical Plant)

Votus was riding on Yoshi as the dinosaur and Classic Sonic was running towards through many traps including the Mega Mack rising above the floor ground which prompting Tails to tell Classic Sonic, Yoshi, and Votus to stay sharp. Upon reaching the giant chemical mixing machinery with the large computer monitor.

"Tails, we have found the database and located on the computer." Votus replied to Tails on the communicator.

"That's great. Hang on, I'm on my way!" Tails said.

Suddenly, Tails fell out of a vent in the ceiling and thudded on the ground in front of Classic Sonic, Yoshi, and Votus.

"Huh, clumsy." Yoshi joked.

Classic Sonic helped Tails up onto his feet and argued to Yoshi. "That's not funny, Yoshi."

"Really not to laugh some jokes." Votus agreed.

The three of them began to step towards a large computer as Tails then began to type away on the computer's keyboard.

"Hold on a sec, while I access the data from this computer…" Tails murmured.

Classic Sonic, Yoshi, and Votus watched as Tails pulled up a screen and began to read what it all meant.

"Okay... Failed battle plans… Old robot designs… Wow, he's got like ten terabytes of selfies... so, where does he keep the…" Tails then pulled up a different screen "Found it! Virtual Reality weapon, the Phantom Ruby."

"There is?" Votus asked.

Tails nodded "Yeah."

He then continued to read the Phantom Ruby's description. "A weapon that takes control of people's visual and depth perception to feed false information to the brain, creating a new reality for them! Like a dream so real, if you bump yourself in it, your sleeping self-will bruise? It's hard to believe."

"Well, according to Classic Sonic; he mentioned the alternate version of Phantom Ruby didn't create a fake world." Yoshi told as Classic Sonic nodded in agreement.

Tails then opened up a new screen and said.

"Eggman experimented with lots of prototypes, like one that was designed to explode if it came into contact with something it wasn't designed to interact with. Once he created the final version, he incorporated it into Infinite. If I'm reading this data correctly, then there might be a weakness."

Yoshi looked over to Tails. "And what is it?"

But Tails wasn't really paying any attention to Yoshi. "This is huge! Let's get this information back to the others!"

Tails then took out a small USB device from his small bag and began to download the Phantom Ruby's data onto the device.

Before they leave the building, Ramthar jumped out of the hole that he blasted with the Ultra Blaster and landed on the floor in front of them.

"You are not going anyway, punks." Ramthar replied.

"Just who do you think and how did you manage to follow us here?" Tails compressed.

"It's Ramthar, he is an alien bounty hunter from Turo System which means he doesn't live around here in your world." Votus answered.

"Yes, I am here to hand over that flash drive to me." Ramthar replied.

"I am not handing it over to you. Just leave us alone." Tails firmed as Classic Sonic agreed to him.

"Fine then. I have no choice but to take all of you down permanently." Ramthar threatened, utterly summoned the Heartless in response.

The Heartless consisted of Surveillance Robots and Egg-Soldiers as the dark creatures attacked Yoshi, Votus, and Tails.

"Tails, are you ready to join us for the fair fight?" Yoshi asked.

"Yes, I'm ready." Tails remarked, took out his futuristic laser gun that embedded with Steve Eggman's head symbol.

Yoshi was jumped on Surveillance Robots and managed to grab on, which forced it to fire the laser beams at other Surveillance Robots and destroyed them in the split second. Then Yoshi struck it with his Rocking Head to finish the Heartless off.

Classic Sonic was zip-zap dashing around some Egg-Soldiers and Surveillance Robots before using the Spin Dash to pounce on them and distinguish into the puff of ashes. Classic Sonic posed himself in victory.

Tails were firing at the Egg-Soldiers which obliterates them into the mass of smokes but one of them shot him in the left arm and fell to the ground, gripped on his arm.

Votus noticed Tails was in trouble as he dashed towards at them before bashed each one of them and threw his shield at the last one of the Egg-Soldiers.

"How bad is your arm?" Votus asked.

"It's fine but feeling a little numb." Tails replied.

Ramthar pulled out his Ultra Plasma Blaster to blast the lasers at them as Votus quickly shielded himself, Tails, and Yoshi and the lasers deflected everywhere. Votus took the advantage as he bounced the laser at Ramthar and knocked him to the ground. Votus rushed over to Ramthar as he bashed him on the face, multiple times until the tentacles-beard alien grabbed it and took a wide spin which dizzying Votus. Ramthar then threw a fist onto Votus to the ground and admired at the adamantium shield.

"So, your shield is made of adamantium alloy? I thought Zenrai 2 is destroyed so many years ago." Ramthar said.

Classic Sonic and Tails were completely confused.

"What is he talking about? What's Zenrai 2?" Tails asked.

"We had no clues. Let's just get that shield." Yoshi dismissed before he stomped the ground and utterly summoned the precipices to struck him.

Ramthar grunted in pain as he dropped the shield as Votus jumped toward to grab the shield and sweep his kick to knock him down again.

Then Classic Sonic doing the dash attacks on Ramthar in random directions until the small blue hedgehog punched him in the back and the tentacles-beard alien staggered in agony.

"My turn! Ground Roll!" Yoshi replied before he rolled himself with the stones and rocks and turning into the giant ball.

Yoshi rolled towards Ramthar who quickly gets up and holding against the ball, struggling to push it.

"I cannot lose again!" Ramthar growled.

Votus had the chance as he hopped on the ball of rocks and bashed him in the head which stunned Ramthar as Yoshi pushed him off the edge before ejected himself out from the boulder and the alien fell towards into the Mega Mack's pool followed by the big boulder ball which splashed around the lower floor.

"That's done the trick on him." Yoshi smirked.

"We better hurry and get out of here! We have no time." Tails urged.

All four of them are leaving from the Chemical Plant, unaware that Ramthar has risen from the pool that he resisted the poison from the Mega Mack.

"You'll all be sorry for this!" Ramthar scorned.

(Chemical Plant – Outside)

Tails, Classic Sonic, Votus, and Yoshi were heading towards the original aircraft called Tornado that was parked outside, out of the sight of Eggman's security cameras.

(Resistance HQ)

Back to Resistance Headquarters, Knuckles was sitting on the bench implied there's nothing to do while Taiyo and others will wait for Tails, Classic Sonic, Yoshi, and Votus.

"I don't like sitting on the bench, but there's nothing to do till Tails gets back with the others." Knuckles responded.

"I agreed with him." Blaze added.

"I'm sure Tails had the information of the Phantom Ruby." Steve replied.

"Way to jinx it! Metal Sonic has been spotted in the city!" Amy asked.

"Is it another fake?" Shadow asked.

"Could be. I believe Infinite sends the copy of Metal Sonic." Mario deduced.

"Why would they bother making a fake-out of something that already isn't real? Couldn't they just build more? Either way, it's getting wrecked! Let's go, partner!" Sonic said and called out to Alphonse.

"Right behind you, Sonic!" Alphonse agreed before he and Sonic left the briefing room.

"So, how's it going with you two?" Luigi asked Mighty and Ray.

"We took care of the Badniks at Angel Island, making sure the people were safe." Mighty replied.

"Then Steve send some Goodniks to look after them until they regrouped back in our troops." Ray added.

Then they heard the beeping sound coming from the monitor as Sari brings the screen up to see Chaos was destroying Steve's robots at Seaport in Green Hill City as Decoe and Bocoe were showed up to see everyone.

Decoe and Bocoe were the servants of General Steve Eggman and Sari's caretakers. Decoe was a tall robot, his color is straw, coffee, and black and his eyes were purple. Bocoe was the short robot with silver, slate grey, and black colors and his eyes were blue.

"Decoe and Bocoe, reporting!" Decoe and Bocoe said in unison.

"What is your status?" Steve asked.

"We have unexpected enemy, Chaos. It must be created by Infinite and now it is gonna get us!" Decoe shouted in alarm.

"We better to get the heck out of here before that thing was about to kill us!" Bocoe panicked as the screen turned off.

Blaze sighed in frustration. "I should have told them to stay our hideout."

"Decoe and Bocoe were in trouble! Taiyo, you and your companions will go and save them. Sari, take good care of them and be careful." Steve determined.

"Roger that, sir!" Taiyo affirmed before he turned to the others. "Come on, guys!"

Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Geno, Votus, Utopia, and Sari ran out of the briefing room.

(Green Hill City – Seaport)

Decoe and Bocoe were huddling together against the wall and shivered in fear when Chaos stepped towards them slowly.

"Is the end for us?" Bocoe worried.

"We will be toast!" Decoe cried.

Before Chaos strikes them with its three fingers claw, the ball of thunderstruck him back and directed at Taiyo and his team along with Sari.

"Leave my uncles alone!" Sari demanded.

Decoe and Bocoe were getting away from Chaos before they went behind them.

"Do the best you could beat that liquify monster." Bocoe cheered.

"Be careful all of you, Chaos was stronger as the original." Decoe replied before he and Bocoe ran off.

"Let's put that water freak dried up on the beach." Yoshi firmed.

Chaos stretched its arms to smash them, but Taiyo and his team jumped backward before Sari brought her mallet down on it as the liquid was splashed everywhere. The water condensed back into its form as Chaos motioned its arms to bring the water from the sea which the wave swept them.

Utopia fires the beam of magic energy at Chaos, but only went through its water body and ended up blasting on the wall.

"No way!" Utopia shouted.

"Chaos is indestructible, made of liquid Chaos energy. Nothing can harm it." Sari replied.

Mario and Geno are running forward at Chaos before it stretched its both arms to quickly grabbed them and slammed them repeatedly.

Taiyo ran towards the water lifeform before rapidly slashing at it; with the right, left, upper, downward and diagonal directions as the water dissipated and reconstruct itself. Then Chaos grabbed him in the neck, choking Taiyo who was struggling to hold back while kicking his legs in midair and stretched his arm to crash through the big crates.

Mario quickly lunged to the air before slicing the right arm to free Taiyo who landed on the ground and the arm splashed down on the ground before the liquid was coming back to Chaos.

Chaos sprayed the water at Mario from its claws and the short man in red and blue overall stumbled back to the ground. Chaos dashed forward to attack Taiyo but Votus blocked it and smacked it back with his shield.

"Lightning Wave!" Luigi yelled, directing his wave of lightning at Chaos and electrified the water creature as it roared in pain.

Utopia saw Chaos was struck by lightning and realized it is vulnerable to electricity before he spotted the sparking wire on the ground.

"Guys, that water creature is a weakness against the electricity. You got to stall it while I get that wire." Utopia said to the others.

"Okay." Sari murmured.

"I'm with you." Votus responded.

"You got it." Taiyo agreed.

"We are on your plan." Luigi replied as Mario nodded in agreement.

Geno protracted his twin Photon Blades before ran towards and striking at Chaos which it dodged them and counterattacked him with spraying water. Mario threw the fireballs at Chaos, only for extinguishing the fireballs on its liquid body. Sari swung his Photon Mallet at Chaos but it caught the hammer and tossed it aside from the ground as Sari dashed towards it, punching and kicking while Chaos blocking them with its arms before headbutted her to the ground. Taiyo is sliding across the ground and slicing against it but Chaos liquified into the water before punching him in the face which he stumbled to the ground. Geno was firing the light blasts at Chaos which doesn't bother it and walked towards him.

Utopia magically lifts the sparking wire and stand behind of Chaos before trotting to it as plunged the wire into its bodily water form, electrocuting it.

Chaos let out a shriek in pain that shattered the windows as Luigi had a chance to finish it off.

"Electro Blade!" Luigi replied, igniting his blade of lightning before running forward to Chaos.

Luigi stabbed into its chest as it caused the chain reaction of the electrical explosion which destroyed Chaos completely and the shockwave sends Luigi flying as he fell to the ground as Taiyo and his companions did.

They are all getting up from the ground as they saw what happened over there, only to be seen that Chaos was phased out of red virtual glitchy and disappeared.

"We did it." Geno smiled in triumphant.

The communicator was beeping on Mario's wrist as he turned on and sees Sonic and Classic Sonic on the screen.

"Guys, we got rid of that copycat version of Metal Sonic at the Red Gate Bridge. How are things over there?" Sonic responded.

"We got rid of Chaos; it's gone." Mario answered.

"Excellent work out there. Good news, we already eliminate the Death Egg robots. The Green Hill City is finally cleansed of the Eggman Empire's forces." Sonic said.

"With that, the city is now liberated by the Resistance and the G.U.N." Mario replied as Makaque appeared next to Sonic's screen.

"Makaque, what's the catch?" Sonic asked.

"I have found the fourth Star Spirit and I returned it to the HQ when I get back." Makaque smiled.

"Great job. We see you there!" Sonic said as the communicator turned off.

"Let's head back to HQ." Votus replied.

Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Geno, Sari, and Utopia left from the seaport, making them without noticing Midbus and Ghirahim.

"Makaque has the Star Spirit. We are totally losing in the war." Midbus grunted.

"Not yet, I'm afraid. However, we must act in Dr. Eggman's plan for the final phrase." Ghirahim said before he and Midbus leave out of sight.


Author Notes: I apologized for posting this chapter too long but I promised to write some chapters a little quick for exchange. Taiyo and his team were on the assignments separately. Alphonse is no longer shown fear of Infinite and protected his friends. They have two days awaiting for Eggman Empire to wipe out the world and the Resistance and G.U.N. devised the plan of how to stop the evil scientist, Infinite, Ghirahim, Midbus, and Ramthar. Don't forget to review after reading this!
