Chapter 18 - Mission Objective#4: War to Take Back to the Planet Part 2

(Resistance's Airship – Passenger Bridge)

Everyone was gathered in the passenger bridge including Taiyo, Mario, Sonic, Alphonse, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Utopia Magus, Votus and Makaque.

"We have confirmed that Steve Eggman is in the underground and got locked up." Mario said.

All the Mobians were gasping in utter shock and worried.

"Oh, no." Silver gasped.

"This can't be." Amy said.

"But don't worry, our newest member, Zell Dincht was on the way to rescue our leader. He was with Sari and Shade." Sonic replied.

"I guess General Eggman is pretty well for his backup." Charmy murmured.

"I hope Omega is on his way to help us." Ray replied.

"Your absolutely right, Ray. The sooner we get there, we can bring more firepower." Mighty smiled.

"We've got less than an hour before Eggman's plan goes down." Knuckles said.

"There's no more time. We have to break into the fortress now." Shadow replied.

"Indeed, this is it. Our last opportunity to bring peace back into the world." Silver added.

"But... when the battle ends, we'll have to part with Sonic—I mean, this Sonic. Won't we?" Tails asked as Classic Sonic put wrapped his arms together.

"Yes, if the Phantom Ruby is gone, I guess he'll be returned to his dimension." Amy replied.

"We may spend time with Classic Sonic, hoped we see him again from the future." Makaque noted.

"Thank you for everything, Sonic. I'll never forget what you did for us." Tails replied as Classic Sonic nodded with a thumb up in response.

"Save the sentiments for later. This is not over yet. We still have the battle to fight." Espio said.

"Exactly. This is our last chance. Give it everything you've got!" Knuckles determined.

"Our battle is about to begin." Taiyo finished.

(Eggman Empire Fortress – Wasteland)

The Resistance and G.U.N.'s soldiers are facing the oncoming opposition from the Eggman Army which consisted of hundreds of Phantom Replicas of Zavok, Chaos, Metal Sonic, and Shadow all appeared in front of Taiyo who leads his team and Resistance alongside thousands of Eggman's robots and Heartless of Mini-Death Eggs, Shadows, Surveillance Robots, and Wyverns.

Knuckles and Sonic nod at each other. Knuckles then turns around and raises his arm.

"Let's go!"

Everyone let out cries of enthusiasm before they all sprinted forwards. Egg Pawns aimed their blaster arms at the Resistance and began to fire at them while Buzz Bombers flew overhead and dropped bombs on them, at the same time Egg Tanks fired several RPGs at them while the Egg Walkers continued to charge forwards, hoping to crush the soldiers. The Phantom Replicas then also entered into the fight as the Resistance's soldiers and G.U.N.'s troops began to fire back. Many of the members of G.U.N.'s firing the white Wispons at Egg Pawns and Egg Tanks.

Taiyo slashed many Shadows and Robot Surveillance, taking out the few of Phantom Replicas including Metal Sonic and Zavok.

Knuckles charged at a clone of Zavok and yelled out. "Take this!"

He jumped up and uppercut the Phantom Replica as Makaque sliced the couples of Egg Walker and Egg Tanks into halves at the same time.

Mighty curled into a ball before dashing through the Egg Tanks and pierced through all of them which engulfed into an explosion.

"Oh yeah!" Mighty hollered, giving the high-five with Ray.

Shadow used his rocket shoes to blast through a crowd of Phantom Replicas and periodically he'd jump up into the air and throw Chaos Spears at any enemies that were near him. Geno aided the black hedgehog by taking out the Egg Pawns and Mini-Death Eggs with his Borealis Blasts.

Mario dodged from Chaos' clone before he impacted him with the mighty punch and kick while Luigi summoned his Electro Blade to slash the clones of Metal Sonic and Wyverns.

Silver used his telekinesis to immobilizes three replicas that were in front of him up which the Chaotix members knock out shortly afterward, Amy smashed the immobilized Metal Sonic with her large Piko Hammer to destroy anything in her path, while Rouge used her strong legs to kick through the immobilized opponents.

Yoshi jumped up higher and cried out. "Geo-Smasher!" He stomped on the ground so hard as the large boulders floating around him and tossed over at the replicas and Shadows which crushed them.

Votus bashed the shield against many Egg Walkers and Wyverns. "I am really going to enjoy this."

The Resistance charges forward along with Taiyo and his teammates while the soldiers of G.U.N. blasting all the Badniks, easily tearing through the replicas as they advance. At the end of the first wave is Infinite, flying and looking onwards at the approaching rabble. Sonic rushes towards Infinite quickly.

"Hey, Infinite! Long time no see! Did you miss me?" Sonic asked as he joined by the rest of his friends to confront Infinite together.

"Why yes, I did. I've been looking forward to finishing you and your annoying friends." Infinite snarled, charged up his power which worrying Taiyo and others.

"That didn't look good." Yoshi concerned.

"Take cover!" Mario yelled.

Then Infinite unleashed a powerful wave of energy, knocking back the Resistance, Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus, and Utopia.

"He's too powerful!" Makaque shouted.

"I trust you're all ready for oblivion? If you're not... oh well." Infinite said.

Infinite is suddenly shot by the green laser and managed to deflect some of the lasers. Omega dropped down from the air along with Steve Eggman, Zell, Sari, and Shade.

"What!? Who dares!?" Infinite demanded.

Omega held his forearm with his double-barreled laser gun before it pulled back into his forearm.

"Target reconfirmed. Extermination mode initiated. Payback INEVITABLE." Omega stated.

"Omega! You've joined us!? Awesome!" Rouge excited.

"Who would have thought of that?" Shadow asked with a smirk scoff.

"General Eggman! You're okay!" Alphonse replied, ran forward to see the leader.

"I should have told you that Omega had busted me out of the jail." Steve Eggman smiled.

"And he helped us out too." Sari replied.

"He managed to track with us when we barely tried to destroy the defense systems." Zell added.

"Is there no end to these annoying insects? I will burn your resistance to ashes, and you along with it!" Infinite shouted.

With a furious shout, Infinite shoots a beam up into the sky, creating a replica of the sun with his Phantom Ruby prototype, to everyone's shock and disbelief.

"Is that the sun?" A G.U.N.'s soldier asked, followed by the other members.

"Looks real." Snake Mobian said before murmuring from the Resistance's soldiers.

"Whoa, you've got to be kidding. That's just a special effect, right?" Knuckles asked.

"No, it's not! While we're under the Phantom Ruby's control, it's a part of our reality!" Tails noted.

"Unbelievable! What chance do we have against that?" Espio asked.

"We're done for!" Blaze alarmed.

Dr. Eggman comes by in his Egg Mobile and opened the dome windscreen.

"The sun will fall upon you all. BOOM! THE END! Your pathetic lives are over." Dr. Eggman replied, grinning viciously.

"Sir, should we fall back?" A second G.U.N.'s soldier asked Steve Eggman.

"Not at the moment." Steve Eggman answered.

Dr. Eggman flew closer to Steve. "Steve. You got yourself out of the jail. Didn't your mamma tell you not to come out of your room?"

"Leave my mamma out of this, you darn dirty science minor setback ape!" Steve annoyed, feeling offended before.

"Oh ho, ho, ho! Your impervious insults don't affect on me." Dr. Eggman smirked deviously before he and Steve Eggman were trash-talking each other.

Taiyo and the rest of the group except for Alphonse were dumbfounded at Eggman siblings before some of them are shaking their heads, palmed on their faces and sighing.

"This battle is getting really impatience." Votus sighed.

"You and me both." Makaque murmured.

"Their quarreling was so lame." Sonic grunted.

Alphonse was noticing at Phantom Ruby's prototype begins to react as it glows and Tails flies next to him.

"Look. It's reacting. Eggman said something about the Phantom Ruby prototypes. Let me see." Tails replied.

"Sure, here." Alphonse murmured, giving Tails the prototype ruby and it stops reacting.

"Whoa, it is." Tails amazed before giving it back to Alphonse as Taiyo and his group walked to them.

"What's going on over there?" Taiyo asked.

"He said that the Phantom Ruby prototypes only react to the person who has activated it. That must be you, buddy! Your courage and heroism are probably what triggered it." Tails explained.

"Really?" Alphonse asked, remembering his bravery action when he stands up to Infinite from Metropolis and given his determination look.

"That's right. His own actions were heroism when he faced Infinite." Geno replied.

"Just maybe, if you use this, it can make that sun disappear." Tails finished.

"I can save everyone with this." Alphonse replied.

"Can we have helped you?" Utopia asked.

"No, I will do this alone. I'm going to fly over there just about to get through into the sun. Help others." Alphonse replied.

Alphonse dashed away from the group and heading to Imperial Tower.

Utopia noticed Ghirahim, Midbus, and Ramthar are taking out every soldier.

"Guys, look over there!" Utopia urged.

The whole group turned to the battlefield, seeing the three evil subordinates.

"Not those three bad guys again." Votus retorted.

"We better to regroup." Taiyo said.

Taiyo and his companions ran off to the battlefield as Midbus spotted them and called out to Ghirahim and Ramthar.

"They are coming for us." Midbus replied.

"Good, it's payback time." Ramthar chuckled viciously.

"Indeed. We shall finish them off very quickly." Ghirahim smirked darkly.

They rushed forward to Taiyo and others.

"So, it's true. Your friends have infiltrated in the prison to free General Eggman." Ghirahim replied.

"It wasn't part of Dr. Eggman's plan that Steve shouldn't be used to surrender your resistance." Midbus replied.

"What are you talking about?" Taiyo asked.

"So instead, Infinite manipulated your reality to make the sun burned down the rest of them. Then it will ensure our victorious the better." Ghirahim said, licking his lips.

"That's too bad for you three to fail to come up with the strategy." Mario smirked.

"We'll see who's fail to save the world!" Ramthar snarled.

Ramthar draws out his Ultra Plasma Blaster before firing the blasts at Taiyo who deflected them with his summoned Keyblade and bounced back at the alien which knocked him down to the ground.

"Let's get them!" Luigi yelled.

Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus and Utopia rushed forward at Ghirahim, Ramthar, and Midbus to fight.

"We can help you too!" Makaque replied as he, Zell, Sari, and Shade are running to join Taiyo and his companions.

"Your mine!" Zell yelled as he jumped up to the air and punched straight at Midbus who quickly blocked with his arms.

Yoshi performed the Earth Dash and collided into Midbus which grunted in pain as he grabbed the tail before he slammed the green dinosaur into the ground a few times and tossed him aside.

Midbus snorting his nose in triumphant with the white handlebar mustache as Zell charged at him with the kick but Midbus caught his leg and holds him with his other hand as he punched him using his free hand several times until Yoshi used the new move, Sand Dust and summoned the ball of sand before threw it right into Midbus's eyes.

"Aah! I'm blind, I'm blind, I'm blind!" Midbus yelped.

Zell was rapidly punched him in the stomach and gave a final punch which sent Midbus flying across the battlefield past between the replicas and badniks. Midbus flipped himself back to his feet and growled at them.

Ghirahim was blocking the attacks with his pair of Demon Blades from Mario, Luigi, Votus, and Makaque but he was struggling to keep defending as Makaque gained the upper hand by uppercut him and he staggered back.

Luigi surged his hands electrifying which turned them into the green electrical claws. "Electro Claws!"

Luigi dashed towards him as he slashed at Ghirahim who narrowly dodged from him but he got the scratched by Luigi's electrical claws and becomes paralyzed.

Votus held his shield as he rammed onto him, hitting Ghirahim a couple of times which he dropped to the ground. Votus tried to bash at him but Ghirahim teleported to evade from him out of thin air with the black and white diamonds. Having quickly recovered from paralysis, Ghirahim kicked him behind and slashed Votus multiple times which the golden yellow monkey kneed on the ground.

"Filthy monkey..." Ghirahim muttered.

Before he finished him off, Mario quickly used the Fire Dash to knock him away from Votus.

Ghirahim got up to his feet before he glared at the red and blue plumber.

"I'll never forget this." Ghirahim replied.

Mario posed his stance withholding the Ignition Flower.

Ramthar was dodging from Sari and Shade's combination of punches and kicks.

"Way too slow." Ramthar taunted before he grabbed Sari and using her to slam Shade.

Utopia blasted a magical beam behind him as Ramthar yelped in pain before glanced back at the Prince Alicorn.

"You stung me in the back!" Ramthar replied.

Taiyo charged at Ramthar as the young adult Keyblade wielder gave the horizontal slash but he dodges it and punched him in the face.

Geno gave a surprise attack by firing his arm cannons using the Radiance Beam, stunning him.

"I had enough of you!" Ramthar bellowed as he fired the Ultra Plasma Cannon to blast several lasers at him and Geno quickly defended himself.

"Sari, give me the boost!" Shade called out to her.

"On it!" Sari nodded.

Sari puts her arms down as Shade latched on them and Sari pushed her up to make Shade lunged through the air. Shade enveloped her fist with the purple aura.

"Chaos Chop!" Shade yelled.

Shade slammed her fist against Ramthar's face and sent him flying over the ground.

Ramthar was struggling to stand up as Taiyo swung at him with a barrage of quick slashes, left and right swings.

"Focus Blow!" Taiyo shouted as he unleashed his new finishing move and swung onto his stomach which blows him away and rolling across the ground.

Ghirahim threw the diamond knives at Mario who jumped around to dodge them as he kicked him in the gut and fall back to the ground.

"Let me do this." Makaque replied.

Ghirahim and Makaque charged forward each other, having a chance of them to finish the duel.

"Mighty Slash!" Makaque shouted as his Keyblade transformed into the glowing elongated blade

"Elegance Strike!" Ghirahim yelled.

Makaque narrowly evaded the glimmering energy-slash and swiftly diagonally slashed towards him. Ghirahim gasped in agony before he fell to the ground.

Yoshi and Zell doing the double kick onto Midbus which sent him flying towards the other two.

Taiyo walked towards along with his friends, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus, Makaque, Utopia, Sari, Shade, and Zell.

"Game over for you three!" Zell smirked.

Ghirahim weakly snapped his fingers to teleport himself, Midbus and Ramthar out of the battlefield in black and white diamond shapes.

All the enemies were eliminated on the battlefield but everyone was watching at the virtual sun that was about to burn them down in several seconds.

Infinite hovers above the Resistance, Taiyo and his team menacingly thanks to the glow cast upon him by his virtual sun.

"Make peace with your fate, because your lives are now over!" Infinite sneered.

"It's going to obliterate us any seconds!" Steve Eggman concerned.

Infinite flies away, while Eggman cackled madly as he prepares to watch Sonic's friends perish and seize ultimate victory.

"Mwa-hahaha! Three, two, one, zero!" Dr. Eggman counted down.

The whole army watched in breathless anticipation, even Taiyo and others. After several seconds, the sun is seen getting closer and closer, before it disappears from the sky completely, with only a red beam falling from it. Then everyone cheered at having been saved from total annihilation.

"The sun! It's gone!" Knuckles said.

"Oh, thank goodness." Steve Eggman sighed.

"Wh-What? What just happened?!" Dr. Eggman became shocked.

Dr. Eggman sees the red beam falling from the sky and follows it to investigate what ruined his near victory as Shadow smirked,

"Alright, guys. We will see what Alphonse had done something useful." Taiyo replied.

Taiyo used the teleport spell to cast him and his teammates before vanishing upon the flash except for Zell, Sari, Makaque, and Shade.

(Eggman Fortress Empire – Imperial Tower)

Alphonse was using the grappling hook to land on the tower but collapsed to the ground, the Phantom Ruby prototype breaks and dissolved, visibly weakened from the effort.

Dr. Eggman arrives and is in total flabbergasted disbelief when he discovers what happened.

"Impossible! I thought all the prototypes were destroyed!" Dr. Eggman shouted.

Tails fly beside Alphonse to pick him up as he groaned weakly. Not before Taiyo and his friends teleported next to them.

"A costly oversight, Doctor. That's why I always check and double-check as any good scientist would." Tails confirmed.

"And your scientific odds were the lower chance to claim your victorious." Taiyo added.

(Eggman Fortress Empire – Wasteland)

"My best partner had done it! Yay" Makaque cheered.

"This is the turning point, guys! Time to press our advantage and kick major butt!" Knuckles said.

The Resistance let out a cry in agreement as Steve Eggman held his right fist into the grip in triumphant.

(Eggman Fortress Empire – Imperial Tower)

Dr. Eggman growled at this. "I have my secret weapon that you can't possibly beat me!"

He flew away from the group.

"What was he talking about the secret weapon?" Taiyo asked.

"Never mind. We are going to find Infinite and defeated him." Alphonse replied.

"It's Morphin Time!" Taiyo phrased.

Taiyo pressed the crystal on his armlet, changing into the Sun Keyblade Morpher before he used the key to insert in it. He transformed into the Keyblade Sun Ranger.

Taiyo tossed the Keyblade before it changed into Keyblade Sun Glider as he hopped in along with Mario and Luigi. Geno holds Yoshi and Utopia magically lifted Votus.

"Let's go right down there!" Taiyo said.

Taiyo and others are heading down to the lower level of the tower, followed by Alphonse who was using the wire grappling hook by swinging.

At the bottom part of the Imperial Tower, they saw Sonic spun around wildly when Infinite tossed the sphere of red cubes shot at him which he dodged it. Then Infinite throws another sphere at Sonic as he quickly grabbed it and threw it up at Infinite, preventing him from shooting the sphere at Sonic. Infinite didn't have time to react to the incoming sphere so he was hit by it and he was blasted onto the ground, groaning in pain.

Taiyo, Mario, and Luigi got off the glider as it changed back into the Keyblade form, Geno descended with his thrusters letting go of Yoshi and Utopia flew down next to them with Votus.

"Did you get him?" Geno asked.

"Yeah." Sonic answered.

Suddenly, the Phantom Ruby began to glow and hum slightly. Infinite floated up into the air and glared down at Sonic.

"You're done for, Sonic. The Phantom Ruby's energy is recharged." Infinite replied.

Infinite let a pulse out of the Phantom Ruby and Taiyo, Sonic and others tried to push against the pulse's shockwave. But that only caused them to skid across the ground slightly.

"Perish, along with your useless friends!" Infinite snarled.

Suddenly, a metal wire passed Infinite's face. A hook attached to the metal pathway and Infinite looked over to the source of the wire, only for the bottom of a foot to hit the side of his face. The masked jackal saw, out of the corner of his eye, Alphonse landed on the ground next to Sonic, Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Utopia, and Votus.

Infinite seethed with absolute anger. "You!"

He grabbed onto the front of his mask and moved it back into place violently. Sonic grinned as he walked over to Alphonse.

"My friends got me this far and together we're gonna win!" Sonic said.

"Your dark side is over, Infinite!" Votus replied.

"You tell him that." Alphonse murmured.

Infinite clenched his fists and began to float away from them.

"Friends are nothing but a fleeting illusion. You can count on nobody but yourself!" Infinite grimaced.

Sonic shook his head. "Your mask can't hide how sad and lonely you are! That Phantom Ruby Virtual Reality of yours is the real illusion!"

Infinite glared down at the two of them before creating two spheres of energy in his hands. He threw them at Sonic and Alphonse, but the two of them jumped out of their way.

"Let's see how your hallucination powers worked against us!" Taiyo shouted.

Taiyo quickly jumped over at him to slash him with the downward slash, making Infinite grunted in pain.

Yoshi pulled out his long tongue to wrap Infinite before slamming against the ground until he vanished into the red and black cube-like particles and Infinite reappeared behind him before kicking him.

Votus and Geno were quickly charged at him before Infinite created the tendrils of red cubes and made them swipe at the two of them which knocked them down to the ground. Votus quickly gets up before tossing his adamantium shield at Infinite and hits him hard enough to falls into the ground before skidding slightly.

Alphonse turned to Mario and Luigi. "Alright, you two. Combination Attack time!"

Mario is ready to cast the fire magic. "Triple Firaga!"

Luigi concentrated his electricity powers. "Thunder Super Shot!"

Sonic and Alphonse ran together before spun themselves into the balls and rammed into him as Mario and Luigi unleashed the two powerful elemental moves that directed to Infinite and he got blasted before he dropped his single knee to the ground and held his mask while glaring at them.

"Curse you all!" Infinite growled.

The Phantom Ruby suddenly went off and it created an illusion form of Infinite. The real Infinite then commanded the fake one speed off towards Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Alphonse similar to Metal Sonic's V. Maximum Overdrive. Four of them jumped out of the speeding Jackal's way before Luigi jumped towards him with a kick at the same time. This made annoyance to Infinite with the green overall man. He made the Phantom Ruby go off again, and this time a wall of red cubes appeared behind Taiyo and his friends including Sonic and Alphonse, and that wall chased after them as they ran. Infinite then suddenly made that wall of cubes surrounded all of them like the walls of a colosseum, he then activated the Phantom Ruby to go off again, and this time, it transformed him into a much larger version of himself.

He slammed onto the ground and he attempted to punch Taiyo with his fist glowing red as he did, but the smaller Hedgehog and Phoenix quickly jumped out of the fist's way, and Alphonse quickly threw his sharp feathers at Infinite's side.

The larger Jackal growled in pain as fires hit his side. He quickly spun around and hit Alphonse away with the side of his large, and bushy tail. Alphonse was sent flying towards the wall of red cubes, but he was able to quickly use his grappling hook to stop his momentum. He landed on the ground as Yoshi stands next to him and gestured himself.

"Dynamic Stone Punch!" Yoshi roared.

Yoshi transformed his hands into the big sculpture fists before launching at Infinite who quickly caught them before struggling to push against Yoshi.

Utopia ignited his Unicornus Horn Blade as he trotted at Infinite from behind before jumping higher and slashed on his back which made the Jackal cringed in hurt. Yoshi had the chance before smashed him in the gut a few times like four.

Taiyo then jumped at him before gave five swipes followed by vertical and horizontal slashes, making Infinite grunted in pain.

Sonic boosted off towards Infinite's legs, the large Jackal tried to stomp on Sonic, but he quickly slid under his boot and once he came to a stop behind Infinite, Sonic jumped up into the air and Homing Attacked his back. Infinite fell onto his face and Sonic quickly jumped back up into the air before using the power of his boost to slam into Infinite's back, which caused him to let out a yell of pain.

Infinite made the Phantom Ruby go off again and this time the cube wall returned to normal and Sonic was blasted over to the others. Infinite then floated up off of the ground before he unleashed the giant sphere of red and dark purple cubes and threw it at the group.

"Stand back!" Geno told the others as his hands transformed into the futuristic big cannon and charging his power.

"Holy Cannon!" He cried out as the cannon fired a majestic light stream and pushed against the huge orb of cubes.

Infinite was holding against his attack. "Imbeciles! You can't match my power! I am near powerful!"

Utopia then unleashed his magical beam against the same sphere. "We have to concentrate to penetrate it!"

Then the two beams broke through the sphere which it dissipated and shocked Infinite before it enveloped him. Infinite fell down on the ground, only for his right knee.

"He's down! Now our chance!" Alphonse said.

"Care to do the honors, Sonic?" Mario asked.

"You betcha, Mario." Sonic replied

Sonic and Alphonse both began to run forwards and as they did, Sonic looked over to the Phoenix.

"Here goes partner!" Sonic smiled as he grabbed Alphonse's hand.

"When we join forces, the sky's the limit!" Alphonse commented.

They both began to speed up, getting faster and faster, until they both yelled out "Double! BOOST!"

They rocketed off into the air and Infinite weakly attempted to make tendrils of red cubes smack them. But they just burst right through the tendrils, Infinite's one visible eye went wide as he tried desperately to do anything to stop the two of them. He fired lasers at them, he threw sphere of dark energy at them, he tried to make that wall of cubes get faster, but they were always out of reach, he even tried to make more tendrils smack into them, but nothing was working. That's when Infinite saw Sonic and Alphonse getting dangerously close to himself, he seethed with absolute anger as he curled up into a ball and placed his arms over his face in an attempt at blocking the incoming attack. Sonic and Alphonse jumped up into the air and Double Boosted right into the larger than normal Infinite, they instantly blasted right through him and forced him out of his enlarged state.

Sonic and Alphonse skid to a halt as Infinite tumbled down on the ground, they were all on. Once Infinite himself skid to a stop he groaned as he attempted to stand up as he did his aura began to flicker strangely, but he hadn't noticed, because he was too busy saying.

"Impossible, I cannot be defeated."

His form distorted for a second right before Sonic waved a finger at Infinite.

"Wrong, loser! The things that can't be defeated are heart, soul, and the bonds of friendship."

He walked over to Alphonse and patted him on his back.

"That's three things you and your counterfeit cronies lack!" Alphonse added.

Taiyo and his friends joined on their side, suggesting that friends weren't alone to defeat the evil such as Infinite.

"You got to let go of everything from the past that you experienced pain and sorrow. I sensed there is the darkness in you, become good what you are." Geno replied.

Infinite punched his fist against the ground in anger before attempting to stand back up again. As he tried, he suddenly froze in place as his form began to distort heavily, to the point he was almost invisible every so often.

"N- No! Wait! I can still fight!"

Infinite floated up from the ground before being forcefully turned into a glowing trail of energy that flew towards the Imperial Tower, which stood directly behind Alphonse, Sonic, and others. The group looked at each other in confusion and slight disbelief, right before Dr. Eggman approached them in his Egg Mobile as the cockpit hatch in the path in front of them opened up and a screen came out of it, the screen turned on.

"You never fail to surprise me Sonic. I didn't believe Infinite could lose... Heh, Victory will be so much sweeter when I defeat you." Dr. Eggman said.

"So, whatever the plan you defeat Sonic and his team, we won't let you." Luigi firmed.

Dr. Eggman then shook his head before saying. "Don't think this is over yet, you blue nuisance! My plan just went into overtime!"

"We see about that, Egghead!" Sonic said.

The evil scientist hovered away from them.

"That's that." Utopia murmured.

The beeping sound coming from the wrist communicator from Sonic's wrist and he turned it on.

"Sonic, guys. What is your status?" Tails asked.

"We took care of Infinite; he was suddenly forced back to the Imperial Tower." Sonic answered.

"And with him got beaten, he is not going to fight us again." Taiyo added.

"That's great." Tails nodded.

"Anything you like to tell us?" Luigi asked.

"The Phantom Ruby signal is moving underground! Eggman is up to something again!" Tails affirmed.

Then Shadow's voice spoked from Mario's wrist communicator. "The Doctor hasn't given up. Don't let your guard down yet."

"Affirmative." Mario told him.

"We have to find the entrance to the Imperial Tower and stop Eggman!" Tails told them.

"We are at the front of the Imperial Tower, but we don't know the way to get in." Sonic replied.

"Why don't we find the secret passage to the tower?" Yoshi asked.

Then Classic Sonic zapped right into Taiyo and others.

"Classic Sonic, did you find it?" Sonic asked.

Classic Sonic nodded before he pointed down at the bridge that connected to the tower on the right side.

"There is it! Thanks, Classic Sonic!" Taiyo said.

Taiyo and others were hurried down all the way to the bridge.

Once the group was on the front of the bridge as the Shadow Heartless appeared behind them and surrounded them.

"Not those black creeps again!" Sonic replied.

Classic Sonic came up with his determination expression before rocketed away from them and performing the Homing Attack on them.

"Let our buddy handle this. He will buy us some time." Votus replied.

"Come on!" Alphonse called out.

Taiyo and his friends are running towards the Imperial Tower.

(Imperial Tower – Lobby Area)

The Lobby Area of the Imperial Tower has the big sized elevator with the green glowing lines in the middle of the area.

"We made it." Utopia replied.

They are about to enter the big-sized elevator as it is taking them down to the very deep level down through the shaft.

(Imperial Tower – Reactor)

On the bottom of the shaft lies a purple and green room that holds the reactor. The reactor itself is incorporated into the base of the shaft's pillar, which narrows in around the reactor. In the center of the reactor lies a structure resembling a nucleic acid double helix, which is covered by metal plates. This structure is surrounded by a circular platform, which has three tubes, each one containing Phantom Ruby prototypes, on it.

Taiyo and others saw three tubes that hovered in the air.

"The prototypes. Let's smashed them all." Mario said.

Before they are going to destroy the tubes, the Mini-Death Eggs and Robot Surveillances appeared around them.

"We'll hold them off. You guys destroyed the tubes quickly!" Alphonse replied.

Sonic and Alphonse were taking out the Heartless as Mario slashed against the first tube with his Keyblade, Luigi hits it with his hammer and Taiyo was swinging at it with his Warrior Key which makes the Phantom Ruby destroyed.

Votus was bashing the second tube with his shield and Utopia was blasting the magic shots at it until it exploded into smithereens.

Geno and Yoshi are punching and kicking as the tube destroyed and the Phantom Ruby fell on the ground as Yoshi stomped on it, smashed into pieces.

Sonic and Alphonse were finished the rest of them

All of a sudden, the reactor began to crumble and will be explode in any seconds.

"The reactor is about to explode!" Votus said.

"Surrounded me, quick!" Taiyo shouted.

Sonic, Alphonse, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus, and Utopia Magus are surrounding him before Taiyo performed the Teleport spell as the light flashes them out of the tower.

(Eggman Fortress Empire - Cliff)

Taiyo and others reappeared on the large cliff that faced the Imperial Tower and the same time as Tails who was carrying Classic Sonic landed in front of them. Sonic and Alphonse both waved to them before Classic Sonic jumped out from Tails' hands and landed on the ground, the little blue hedgehog stretched out his arms like he just did a perfect acrobatic landing.

Sonic then said. "We did it! Eggman's army is officially butt-kicked. We won!"

"We kinda ditched him out, huh?" Yoshi asked.

"Yep, that's right." Utopia smiled.

Sonic and Alphonse attempt to fist bump but they are interrupted by a small earthquake. Alphonse quickly gritted his teeth and scowled as they look around for the source of the interruption, unaware of a massive mech with eight arms rising out of the crater behind them.

"Oh, come on! Now what? Can't we ever just win and have that be the end of it?" Sonic asked.

"Look!" Tails pointed at it.

It had a small dome-shaped head that could open up like an eye. It also had three spike-like appendages on top of it similar to a crown, a rounded body with a red energy core in the middle, four tentacles with three-clawed hands at the end of each one on its back, large shoulder pads with silver on its upper and lower arms and large fist with four fingers on both arms, and a very serpent-like lower body.

"Impossible!" Geno exclaimed.

"Gotcha! The fortress reactor was just a decoy. A true winner always keeps his trump card hidden until the end." Dr. Eggman smirked.

"And that's mean you still got the real Phantom Ruby in your robot mech!" Taiyo realized.

"That's right! These prototypes were much like failure test subjects!" Dr. Eggman cackled.

Tails had overheard Vector's voice from his radio and took it out.

"Sonic, what's going on? There aren't less enemies! There's MORE!"

"What?!" Tails asked.

"How could there be so many?" Amy horrified.

"Confirmed sightings indicate Shadow, Metal Sonic, Zavok, Chaos, Infinite... Thousands of them!" Rouge said.

"That's not possible! My army is not large enough to hold them off!" Steve Eggman urged over Tails' radio.

"We got to keep fighting!" Zell grunted.

"What have you done!?" Sonic demanded as he clenched his fists.

"Mwa-hahaha! I merely incorporated the Phantom Ruby into this robot which I have named the Egg Imperium!" Dr. Eggman said.

"The one you took from Infinite? Is he alive?" Alphonse asked.

"Precisely. I mistook him as the loyal general of my army and no longer needed him." Dr. Eggman affirmed.

"But that means the Phantom Ruby no longer has a vulnerable energy supply. It's an invulnerable ruby?" Tails stared up at him in fear.

"A good deduction, Tails. This Egg Imperium has... No, I have surpassed Infinite to become the complete and ultimate form. You will be crushed by this Egg Imperium powered by the Phantom Ruby." Dr. Eggman replied.

"We cannot surrender to you and your empire, Eggman!" Luigi replied.

The Sonics, Alphonse, Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus, and Utopia get into the battle stances.

"And in the end, everything will still be just as I planned!" Dr. Eggman finished before he burst out into a burst of maniacal laughter as the Egg Imperium released the Phantom Ruby pulse. Everyone skidded backward as they were pushed back by the wave and regained their balances.

"We will defeat you and our world will be freed." Alphonse determined.

"Your plan will end like all your plans do; with you sitting in a pile of busted robot parts wondering how you failed so badly!" Sonic replied.

"Let's get him." Mario said.

Sonic, Classic Sonic, Alphonse, Taiyo, and his team travelers charge at Egg Imperium.

"I even had something for your friends." Dr. Eggman called from his mech.

The Egg Imperium shot the red energy blast which expanded the portal and gave off the vacuum in it.

"Oh, not again!" Sonic annoyed before he saw Taiyo and his friends were caught by the powerful force, not him, Alphonse, and Classic Sonic.

"Taiyo! Mario! Luigi! Yoshi! Guys!" Alphonse shouted with utter horror.

Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, and Geno are sucking through into the portal.

Votus cleaved his shield on the ground to hold himself on and Utopia was struggling to flew away from the portal.

"Help us!" Utopia yelled.

"Utopia! Votus! Hang on!" Tails said as he defended from being sucked.

But the ground cracked that shield can't hold on much longer as it shattered and Votus and Utopia are sent flying into the portal as it disappeared after the group was trapped in there.

"NO!" Sonic yelled out.

Dr. Eggman cackled loudly before he said. "Poor hedgehog! None of your friends can't get out of the Null Space. Not even your resistance will never stop me!"

Sonic clenched his fists firmly as he glared at him even Alphonse and Classic Sonic joined him with their angry faces, ready to defeat Dr. Eggman and his Egg Imperium.

(Null Space)

Taiyo and others were laying on the platform that made of purple cubes before they waked up and seeing their surroundings. The Null Space is a purple dimensional void with floating cubes and net-like grids above and below that extend into infinity.

"Where are we?" Votus asked.

"We are in the Null Space. I guess Eggman sends us into this endless place, we gotta find the way out of this." Taiyo said.

"He said we can't get out of the Null Space, we need to find something else that can get us back to the real world." Luigi replied.

"There is no something else, we have to hurry up." Geno replied.

"There is the way..." A male voice spoke.

This attracts their attention at the only defeated Infinite whose mask got chipped and his left visor was cracked, revealing a yellow eye.

"Infinite?!" Utopia exclaimed before he and others posed their battle positions.

"Stop! I had no intention of harming you. I am trying to help you and your friends will get out of this realm." Infinite said calmly.

"Why should we believe you?" Votus asked scornfully.

"Very well, I can give you the few details before Eggman operated his ultimate mech. I was sent back across to the Imperial Tower, Dr. Eggman had disgraced me of my defeat and discharge me from his empire army. He also took away my ruby and using it to corporate his Egg Imperium to surpass over me. How could I always be so weak? I was proving myself to be the strongest being in this world and I have failed." Infinite said before clasping his hands and loosen them for few seconds as he looked away in shame.

Taiyo and others changed their suspicious expressions into calm and interpretation as Mario walked forward to the Jackal.

"Look, Steve Eggman told me that you are leading your Jackal mercenaries for the greatest pride and you have beaten by Shadow. I am sorry for what happened about your life, it doesn't mean you can't be an enemy. Only a weakling like you could save everyone's lives so you earned your redemption and freedom." Mario replied.

Infinite turned to Mario, he heard such reasoning words that make his heart gently pumped with warmed feeling before removed his mask and revealed his face that has a light smile.

"I am glad I never heard such compassion words from you, Mario. I shall be thanking you." Infinite affirmed.

"So, are you going to help us?" Taiyo asked.

"Of course, I would. Without the Phantom Ruby in this place, we cannot escape. However, I had a little power from the ruby, it wasn't enough for us to get us out." Infinite said.

"Then how did we find the power source?" Yoshi asked.

Before Infinite said something, the big floating platform has shaken heavily which startled them as the Heartless appeared from above and landed on the ground, it was Cyber Phantom

Cyber Phantom had the resemblance of Infinite's mask but replaced by Heartless Emblem on its head, two dark glowing yellow eyes, pair of long diagonal antennas, jagged metal jaw, ripped cloaked cover its body with glowing purple circuitry, elongated four clawed-fingers and a sharp long tail with the blade. It has three shattered Phantom Ruby which fused with the broken tubes on its back.

"The Heartless is here as well?!" Luigi shouted.

"I guess the Darkness influenced by Dr. Eggman's nefarious heart." Geno replied.

Taiyo noticed the three broken tubes contained the shattered Phantom Rubies on the Heartless' back.

"Those same rubies that we destroyed from the Imperial Tower when we realized the reactor is the decoy and the decoy turned into Heartless." Taiyo replied.

"We got to take all three of them out if we defeat it." Infinite stated, throwing his mask away.

Cyber Phantom then charged at Taiyo and others which they ducked away from it. Cyber Phantom formed the ball in its jaw before firing a dark purple beam at Yoshi and Votus from the ball as they managed to dodge it, kept firing the several beams at Taiyo and others.

They all evaded from the beam attacks as Infinite used the power to convert the beam into the virtual reality and absorbed it before blasted at it with the beam of red pixels and collided it into the Heartless, hurting it.

Cyber Phantom took a swing of its tail to slam Infinite across the ground.

Taiyo tossed his Warrior Key to Cyber Phantom and got damaged as it counterattacked him by throwing the conjurable red orb which he blocked it, used his strength to deflect it away over to the opposite direction which exploded.

Votus ran over to the Heartless before hurling his disc-shaped shield at it and hits it as it is coming back to him as the Cyber Phantom tried to crush him but he jumped away from it.

Geno was firing the series of Borealis Blast at the Heartless which stunned it.

"Firebrand!" Mario hollered before he blasted an enlarged fiery orb at the Cyber Phantom and engulfed it into the explosion.

Luigi and Yoshi were running towards the Heartless before climbing on its back and bashing the first tube together which broke the Phantom Ruby out and fell to the ground. Infinite absorbed the ruby and strengthen his capabilities before the jewel shattered apart.

Cyber Phantom enraged at Infinite for stealing the Phantom Ruby as it empowered in the dark purple aura before the purple pixels surrounded the Heartless and send the projectiles-like cubes at the Jackal.

Infinite quickly to learn to fly in the air before dodging some of them so fast.

"I'll distract those pixels! Get the rubies!" Infinite said.

"On it!" Utopia affirmed.

Utopia flew right at the Cyber Phantom as it swiped at the Alicorn with its claws but he evaded them before teleported himself. The Cyber Phantom was surprised as Alicorn appeared behind the Heartless before he unleashed the mystical energy beam at the second fused tube and disintegrated it except for the Phantom Ruby that fell to the ground as Votus quickly catches it in his hands.

"Nice catch, Votus!" Utopia called out to him.

The Cyber Phantom was feeling weak due to the effect of the two Phantom Rubies as it screeched violently which forced Taiyo and his companions to cover their ears.

"That screeching is too loud!" Mario yelled out.

"Man, my ears are bleeding!" Yoshi complained.

The final tube has sucked inside the Heartless body and embedded on its chest as Cyber Phantom gave out a scowl roar as a form of laughter and its eyes turned red, learning to control the power of the Phantom Ruby.

"That boss is getting stronger after gained the power of the Phantom Ruby." Luigi replied.

Then the Cyber Phantom conjured the massive size of the dark red pixels-like ball from its claws.

"I think it is going to charge up its attack!" Taiyo called out the others.

"Here!" Votus replied as he tossed the second shattered Phantom Ruby to Infinite who caught it.

Infinite has absorbed the second one before regaining his power and speed as he glowed in red with pixels that changed greyish red color.

Cyber Phantom then tossed the giant dark energy ball right at them just before Infinite flew up in front of the Heartless and conjured the big wall made up of greyish red cubes, shielding Taiyo and others. Infinite was grunting as the wall is trembling that the enormous ball is slightly breaking through it.

"It's not enough power! I can't manage to hold it!" Infinite said.

"Just keep doing, I will finish that Heartless!" Taiyo replied before he teleported from the group.

Cyber Phantom growled slightly but in satisfaction for finishing them off. However, Taiyo reappeared in front of it before quickly sliced on its head which canceled its attack as the ball dissipated into nothingness and the Heartless got stunned before fell to the platform's ground.

"Good work, Taiyo!" Infinite said, putting his pixels barrier down.

Taiyo was ready to use the Limit Break when his Limit Trance's blue has been enveloped in his armor and called out.

"By the name of the Golden Goddesses, give me the Courage! Farore's Courage, unleashed!"

Taiyo was summoning the spiritual original form of Link (The Child Timeline from Ocarina of Time) and glowed in a white and golden aura.

"Alright, let's do this!" Taiyo bellowed.

Taiyo and the Mirage Link are charging at the Cyber Phantom before he is striking with couple slashes in left and right directions, followed by the upper and downward slashes repeatedly while the Mirage Link was swiftly slashing at the Heartless with his Master Sword and thrust it heavily.

Cyber Phantom bellowed in pain as Taiyo unleashed his finishing move.

"Incarnations of Time!"

Taiyo is summoning the Hero of Time's incarnations which consisted of Links before he and all of the incarnated swordsmen charged towards the Heartless. They are slashed each time to another rapidly and massively damaged on the Cyber Phantom as Taiyo jumped up in the air along with Link's incarnations before they conjured together to form the massive green energy blade with the symbol of the Triforce engraved on its blade and they swing it together at the Heartless which it roared in demise.

"Goodbye to you all, Links!" Taiyo said, farewelled to the Hero of Time's incarnations and they disappeared into the light green sparkles.

The Cyber Phantom has been defeated as it disappeared within the flash of light and the heart is floating in the air before vanishing into the Kingdom Hearts as well as the last shattered Phantom Ruby rolled across to Infinite.

"This is only left for me." Infinite replied before he absorbed the ruby and finally brought his power back.

"So you can get us out of here?" Votus asked.

"Yes, allowed me to make an entrance." Infinite replied before he held out his left hand to summon the portal with greyish red pixels that shown the Wasteland where the Resistance fought the replicas of Phantom Ruby.

"Let's make a hurry!" Taiyo shouted.

They all jumped through the portal followed by Infinite and it disappeared after they are gone.
