A Hedgehog Of Chaldea

Babylonia (Part 4)


Chaos Emeralds Are Now Our Last Hope


Millions of life forms were now attacking the whole Singulairety as Sonic, Mash, Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, And Jaguar Warrior were now heading their way towards Uruk to talk with Gilgamesh about the Current Situation. On their way toward Gilgamesh. Thousands of people have already perished from the unknown creatures, killing them violently.


*Ziggurat*

Sonic, Mash, Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, and Jaguar Warrior arrive at Uruk using Chaos Control as everyone in Ziggurat is in a state of panic, minus Gilgamesh.

"Move the surviving citizens beyond the Northern Wall! We'll use Nippur as a temporary refugee base! Again, there's no need to recruit soldiers from the refugees. Only those who were born warriors need to stay in Uruk. At last, the day of destruction is upon us. We have two more days at most. That fool Merlin hastened the destruction I foresaw for Uruk by a full day! Those who wish to live head towards the Northern Wall. If you wish to fight, then die for Uruk's sake. You have until evening. Say your farewells to your friends and family." Gilgamesh shouted

"Gilgamesh! We need to figure out a plan to take these creatures down!" Sonic shouted

"Welcome back, Sonic, and the rest. It looks like you succeeded in defeating Gorgon. Without the emeralds. However, it's time for the Emeralds to come in full force. We're going to need them now or never!" Gilgamesh said

"That's what I've been thinking since we came running here. Even Merlin told us that Chaos Emeralds are our last hope!" Mash said

"Chaos Emeralds. Sonic, have you collected all seven that you needed?" Gilgamesh asks

"I have all seven of them now! With all seven combined, I can use Chaos Control to freeze time and stop the attacks currently happening right now!" Sonic replied

"Then don't just stand there! Stop this so we can settle down and figure out a way to stop this madness!" Gilgamesh said

"Come on, Senpai! We have no time left! Hurry!" Mash begged

"*Raises His Hand High In The Air As The Seven Chaos Emeralds Appear And Surround Him* Chaos Control! * *Chaos Emeralds All Emit Light As Time Complelety Freezes Soon After, Freezing All MonsteSoldiersders, Civilians, Minus Him, Gilgamesh, Mash, And The Others* With one emerald, freezing time can only happen for a certain amount of time. With all seven, it can go on for longer." Sonic said

"D-Didworkswork? No one is moving from their spots. And I don't hear any loud noises coming from outside." Ishtar said

"Si! It worked perfectly! Time has officially stopped around us, and nothing is moving from their places." Quetzalcoatl replied

"Now that everything has settled for the time being. Let's talk peacefully now. Tell me everything that happened at the Demonic Front." Gilgamesh said

"*Sonic And Mash Explain Everything To Gilgamesh*

"I see. So Merlin's dead. Undefeated in real life, he was crushed inside a dream. That's a fitting ending for him."

"He said that the Mage King summoned one of the Seven Evils of Humanity to this land. King Gilgamesh, what is an Evil of Humanity? And there are seven of them?" Mash asks

"I thought you'd find the answer to that in your journeys. As the name suggests, the Seven Evils of Humanity are Humanity's stigmas. A series of disasters that destroy Humanity. The more Humanity develops, the stronger they become, like a cancer-eating at society from within. You could call them stagnant pools within human history." Gilgamesh replied

"Do you mean those who seek revenge, like Gorgon? Beings who would destroy Humanity through animosity?" Da Vinci asks

"The opposite, beautiful one. The Evils of Humanity are not evils that destroy Humanity. They are evils that society destroys. I'll let the appropriate person explain when the time comes. Just know they are disasters that threaten human history. Humanity's self-destruct system and safeguard and the basis for Heroic Spirit summoning. The Seven Evils of Humanity manifest and exist as Spirit Origins. They are seven disasters created by Humanity's bestial nature. Thus, their class is Beast. This is what the Mage King has awoken. One of them, at any rate." Gilgamesh replied

"The primordial sea could only mean Mother. Are you saying the mother of gods didn't cause this abnormality by the Goddess Tiamat?" Ishtar said

"I'm telling you that Tiamat is one of the Beasts. Our foe is quite literally a primordial god."

"A Beast-class. The Seven Evils of Humanity. So that's our foe now?" Mash said

"It doesn't matter what class it is! I'm not letting some Beasts destroy Humanity!" Sonic shouted

"It's a name for all the Beasts of Disaster. The Beast in this land does not seem to have awakened completely. You have no readings on it, right, Chaldeans?" Gilgamesh said

"Yeah. King Gilgamesh is right. I don't see a Spirit Origin signature that terrible anywhere. As for possibilities, you know. I probably shouldn't have to tell you where it is." Da Vinci replied

"I bet it's inside that darkened Persian Gulf, yes. We could see it from the sky on our way to Uruk. There were so many strange things coming out of the black sea. What are those, Gilgamesh?" Quetzalcoatl said

"I have no idea! Thus, I'll turn to you instead! How about it, Romani Archaman of Chaldea?"

"We're short on time, so I'll get to the conclusion. They're made from what you'd call the base for the Mesopotamian world. Sand and soil of the Age of Gods. The Mud of Gods. These beings don't exist in our genealogical tree. Since there's no difference between males and females, we can assume they reproduce asexually instead of sexually. From their internal structure, it seems that they're currently in a larval state. Meaning they're going to change even more. They emit so much magical Energy because their Magical Circuits are those of beings from the Age of Gods. Think of them as mass-produced Enkidu's. So, I've named them Laḫmu. It was the name of Tiamat's first child and meant "mud."

"Humph. Laḫmu, eh? I was thinking the same thing. We're on the same page, Doctor. We shall now refer to these creatures from the sea of mud as Laḫmu! Side No, you, captain. Where's Siduri? Who cares? We must deal with the Laḫmu now before time freezes, thanks to the Emeralds. They spread across Mesopotamia and attacked many cities. They're not just slaughtering but kidnapping too. Our reports show that those kidnapped by the Laḫmu were taken to Eridu. The Laḫmu have taken advantage of Quetzalcoatl's absence to make a nest in the jungle." Gilgamesh said

"I can't believe they did so much in so little time," Sonic commented.

"The Demonic Beasts tended to sleep at night. Perhaps they're the same. Whatever the reason, that's their nest. But we can ignore that. Our target is that blackened sea. Sonic, the faith of this world now rests in your hands. You and the Chaos Emerald left must bring hope to everyone. I don't know what will happen if Tiamat wakes up and notices you." Gilgamesh said

"I'm not from this world. So she won't recognize me as one of her "children" I can use that to my advantage if Tiamat decides to wake up." Sonic replied

"You have to do this, Sonic. Master Of Chaldea. If Uruk falls, the Foundation of Humanity will ultimately collapse. Even the Singularity will burn to ash, and Chaldea will also disappear in flames." Gilgamesh said

"Like I'm ever going to let that happen! No matter who I face! I will surely take them down! No matter what! By the way, where's Siduri?" Sonic replied

"She attempted to protect the people from the Laḫmu and was captured. That's all." Gilgamesh said

"And you didn't even dare even to save her?! What's gotten into you? That's why I never liked people ruling over others. You know what, new plan! We're going to save Siduri!" Sonic said

"I cannot say no to the last savior of this world. Do what you must do." Gilgamesh replied


*?*

"Tch! For a second, I was frozen in time with everyone else. What the hell was that all about?" Kingu said

"So was I. However, I foresee such a powerful entity inside this Singularity, waiting to strike at the perfect moment. Something even I can't explain. But now that time moves. You may be wondering about your mother.—the seal. There's a seal over her, Kingu. She is bound, bound by that great sea. You elevated the stray Gorgon to godhood, and the chain summoning brought Quetzalcoatl. And then there was Ereshkigal, summoned by the Sacred Temple of Uruk. You got them all into a rivalry through an alliance, But it's not enough. Your Job isn't done, Kingu. Humanity is destroyed, but its history remains. Break the seal on Tiamat and wipe out all the life forms in Uruk. If that happens, even the Singularity itself will disappear. Human history will end there, in that era, even without my intervention."

"However, we still have that Blue Rodent on our way. He's been a burden to us for a long time." Kingu said

"Forget about him. He may have come from a different realm I don't know about. But he would also face the destruction with everyone else here."


*Eridu*

Using Chaos Control, Sonic and the group quickly arrive at Eridu in search of looking for Siduri, who was kidnapped from the Lahmus. The group all began running inside the city in search of Siduri.

"We've arrived at Eridu! I sense people! What's all this commotion?" Mash said

"I'm picking up signs of life! Five hundred, no, six hundred people! They're the ones who were kidnapped!" Romani replied

"They're being gathered in the Plaza! What about the Laḫmu?" Quetzalcoatl said

"They're there too, of course! Over two hundred of them! It's a fraction of their forces! Sonic, you know what to do!" Romani said,

"Leave it to me! We're breaking into the Plaza!" Sonic replied


*Plaza*

The five arrive at the Plaza and notice the captured people killing one another for their freedom from the Lahmus. Suddenly, the five pumped out, and all began attacking the Lahmus, guarding the kidnapped civilians. Who killed them either way soon after.

"Everyone, please run toward the jungle! We'll draw those monsters away!"

"These little bastards!" Queztzacoatls pissed

"*A Rain Of Arrows Come Down And Stops The Lahmus* Answer me, why do you do such pointless things!? And you call yourselves the children of the Primordial Mother, Tiamat!? It's all right to attack Uruk. It's all right to kill the enemy. But why kill without purpose? Those humans would never become a threat to us. Eventually, Tiamat would have killed them herself. They didn't matter! I will not allow such pointless behavior from the new humans! Your behavior is entirely foolish! You are all just defects. Even lower than Gorgon's Demonic Beasts!" Kingu said

"What is going on?!" Sonic confuse

"If you understand, then fall back. None of you is a match for any of these! You may be no better than trash, but you are Mother's children, my brothers. I can't stand by and let you die."

"Brothers?"

"As much as I hate to admit it. They are just soldiers that were simplified and mass-produced based on me. And I am the one and only child of Tiamat that was created as a commander. So it's only natural I'm different from them." Kingu replied

"Why are you doing this?! What's the point of all this?!" Sonic said

"You are not one of Tiamat's children. Tiamat may have created you, but you were not born from her. You said your body was made using Enkidu as a template. But that is not the case. Your body is Enkidu's actual deceased body. A synthetic Demonic Beast made from Enkidu's corpse. You are not a "new human"... You were probably created to awaken Tiamat." Mash replied

"Nonsense. Even if that were true, what's wrong with that!? Even if I weren't born from Mother, she still gave me life. I am her son—this body. I don't know a thing about Enkidu. They're nothing to me. I don't even have a record of their past! And what's wrong with that? All I need to exist is my purpose in serving Mother. Any other notions or extraneous sentiments are useless. I'm just a puppet who works for Tiamat. That is me. Kingu is just a puppet made for that purpose." Kingu replied

"Shahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Lahmus laughing

"What's so funny?!"

"Obvious. Because. Watching. You. Funny. Because. This. Is. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. Killing. Humans. Really. Fun!"

"Mother. Order. Us. Go. Learn. As. New. Humans. How. To. Be. Human. Concept. Of. Humans. Become. More. Like. Humans. This. Is. The. Result."

"To. Act. Like. Humans. Amazing. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun! Killing. Humans. Very. Fun!"

"You. Are. Very. Boring."

"So those things can talk as well, huh?" Sonic said

"The Holy Grail...! I'm detecting the Holy Grail's signal inside Kingu!" Mash said

"Really?!"

"So Kingu was the one storing the Holy Grail! Gorgon was receiving the power of the Grail through him! But why would the Laḫmu steal that!? And by ambushing Kingu!?"

"Jaguar!"

"You're not going anywhere!"

"*Misses The Lahmu* You. No. Need. Anymore. We. Will. Take. This. It. Is ours. Job. To wake. Mother. Kingu, you are obsolete. Now die here. *Transforms*"

"The Laḫmu has swallowed the Holy Grail and transformed! Those are wings. It's no use, Senpai! That thing is specialized in flying! It'll escape!"

The group attempted to catch the Lahmu until it starts to fly away from them.

"The transformed Laḫmu has fled into the sky...! They're going to get away!"

"Are you trying to outrace me!? Bring it on! *Flies Off And Chases After The Lahmu.*." Ishtar said

"Come on, Mash! Get on! Jaguar! Evacuate and protect the civilians, and report to the king!" Quetzalcoatl commanded

"Wait, Kingu is still there! With that injury, he won't be able to escape the Laḫmu!"

"It's too late. Forget him. We're at max capacity. This is all we can do. Kingu's life is in his own hands now. We have to go after that, Laḫmu! Its destination is probably the ocean; if we lose it, everything ends!"

"Let's catch that! Eagle! *Transform Into The Eagle Wisp Form As Him, Mash, And Quetzalcoatl Fly Off.*."


*At The Sky*

"*Flying As Fast As He Can* Come on! We need to reach that creature! I can't hold any longer in this form!" Sonic said

"Don't worry. We'll catch up! We got them in sight! Blast that Laḫmu with a plancha at max speed! (Flies Faster Toward's the Lahmu And Slams It With Her Weapon Falling*."

"Yes! We got it! It's falling to the shore! Let's go finish it off!" Sonic said

"Wait, what is this Spirit Origin reading!? Quetzalcoatl, what's going on!?" Romani said


*Kingu*

"*Running While Covered In Blood* This wasn't supposed to be! Mother created me to be the first of the new human race! That was why I destroyed Mesopotamia! That was why I did everything. Even without experience, memory, or love in this body, I believed Mother had hopes for me!"

"Gyaha! Gyahaha! Gyahahahahaha! Over. There! He. Ran. Over. There! Corner him. Capture him! Break him. Break. The. Defect!"

"There was nothing. This land had nothing! I was expendable from the start! I was just a fake from the beginning! No future, no hopes, no will...not even friends...I had nothing. The only thing I had was that I was Tiamat's only child. And that was the only thing I could cling to."

"Aha. Found. You."

"So this is where it ends, just like the old humans. I can't believe it. I guess I wasn't anything special. Just like anything else, I can be hurt and broken. Ah, if only I'd known. I wish I'd gone to see him one last time."

"*Suddenly Heard Noises Of Slashing And Liquid Falling On Floor* W-What? Y-You saved me?"

"Run. Now. Enkidu. Although. You. May. Not. Be. Long. Either. Find. Happiness. Please. Find. Your. Happiness. Dearest. Friend. Enki...du. We. People of Uruk. Will. Never. Forget. Our gratitude. For. You. You. Gave. The. Lone. King. A life. You. Led. Him. To the. Path. Towards. A. Great king. There. Was. No. One. Who. Did. Not. Grieve yours. Death. No. One. Forgot yours. Death. I too. I too. Was. So sad. That. Is. Why. Find happiness. Enkidu. Beautiful one. Of. Green. So glad. Thank. You. I was. Able to. Tell you."

"I didn't even know you. How come I know your name and face, though? Are you thanking me? Urgguuuuugh...! Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh...!"


*Back With Sonic And The Others*

The three continued to chase after the flying Lahmu as fast as they could. Quetzalcoatl stops chasing after the Lahu and flies straight down towards Sonic, catches him, and puts him behind as the three land on the ground safely. Quetzalcoatl notices Sonic struggling to keep up his Eagle Wisp Form. Suddenly, Sonic transforms back into his normal state as he begins to fall straight down to Earth.


*Later*

"Sonic! Chaldeans! What happened? Tell me everything!" Gilgamesh said

"What's going on over there? Everything's in Chaos here! Those Laḫmu attacked again! But this time, amazingly, we're kind of holding them off! His Majesty rolled out those big bows on the castle walls! Three hundred and sixty of them!" Jaguar Warrior said

"Obviously. I prepared enough to repel an attack from any direction. They can hold off the Lahmus for an hour or so. The soldiers won't last any longer than that! Nor will my magical Energy! That's all I have to report! Now, what about you?" Gilgamesh asks

"This may come as a suprise, but I may have accidentally failed to stop Tiamat from grabbing hold of the Grail," Sonic replied

"Sonic?! What?! What happened?!" Gilgamesh shock

"Don't worry. Don't worry. We still have the Chaos Emeralds on our sides right now." Sonic said

"Stop blaming it on yourself, Master! Gilgamesh! Listen, Kingu's heart was the Grail! Tiamat was using the Grail as a power source to control what was left of Enkidu! Then a Laḫmu took the Grail and threw it into the center of the Persian Gulf, where we are now!" Quetzalcoatl said

"I see. We still have a chance as long as the Chaos Emerald is in our hands. But before we get into that, First! We got the results from the water analysis. The black seawater is Tiamat's Authority itself! It infects those who touch it, and Tiamat's Authority is copied into their cells and makes them into her slaves. The Laḫmu was born from the mud of Tiamat. They probably aren't affected by it. But anyone else, Servant or human, that touches that Tiamat will absorb black mud! What about Sonic? I don't know if it'll work on him but don't even risk it." Gilgamesh explained

"I see! So don't touch it! And if you have to touch it, touch as little as possible to protect yourself, meow!" Jaguar Warrior said

"Tiamat's Authority includes self-modification, multiplication, and bio-fusion. But her most powerful one is the "Amino Geas," or cell compulsion. Once they're inside that mud, it will Darken any Servant." Ishtar said

"Ishtar! You're here!" Mash said

"Yes, I'm sorry I'm late. But I got Eridu back on its feet. The people are evacuated to the basement of Eridu's Ziggurat instead of heading to Uruk. They can hole up in there for a day. Even Laḫmu can't break in there easily." Ishtar explained

"I'm glad you were helping the people find safety for a little," Sonic said

"A Darkening mud, you say? I've never seen it, but what an annoying concept to deal with. Second! The observation post recorded not only the water quality but also the height of the water and waves! They observed an unusual water level. The moment the Grail was stolen from you, the water started to rise by the minute! By my calculations, the observation post will be swallowed in three hours, and the black sea will overflow onto land. What we're going to see is something even worse than the great flood that once destroyed Mesopotamia. It'll be a black sea of mud that turns all life it touches into monsters!" Gilgamesh said

"If that happens, Uruk, and all of human history, is finished! If Mesopotamia, the great civilization and basis for urban society, is turned into a world of monsters, the Foundation of Humanity will collapse!" Romani said

"How many times do I have to say it? We are going to stop Tiamat! I don't care how long it takes. We will stop her!" Sonic said

"What Sonic said, Docter! No matter what, we are going to stop this!" Mash said

"S-Sorry! I got a little carried away. I know you will stop her, which is because I found something. I just observed a Spirit Origin signature at the center of the Persian Gulf! It's a Holy Grail, with an ultra-ultra-ultra-class Magical Reactor Core with more than seven times the magical Energy of a Grail. There's no doubt that this is the primordial Demonic Beast who birthed the world of Mesopotamia! The Spirit Origin belongs to Tiamat! Just as Sonic said, you need to defeat her! I don't care how. Just defeat her!" Romani said

"I figured this atmospheric shaking was the aftereffect of Mother coming to the surface," Ishtar said

"Sonic, this is Tiamat that we are talking about. She's different from the Demon Gods you've fought before. How will you handle her?" Gilgamesh asks

"Tiamat is the embodiment of Chaos. She may be the mother of all things but still wishes to destroy Humanity. So are the Seven Chaos Emeralds with negative Energy. I have seen what Negative Energy can do to someone. These two are capable of causing massive destruction if given enough negative Energy into them. However, currently, *The Seven Chaos Emeralds Appear In Front Of The Group* The Chaos Emeralds are powered with positive Energy. Suppose we can all tap into the Emeralds' Positive Energy during the fight. The results will be staggering and can overpower Tiamat's negative Energy." Sonic explained

"Are you saying that our fight must not be fought with hatred? But something positive in mind?" Ishtar said

"That's correct! We can't let our hatred cause our downfall against Tiamat. Quetzalcoatl, your goal was to destroy Humanity in the first place, but if you can think of a positive future where Humans and Gods lived together peacefully. Then Chaos Emeralds will detect and fuel its power with said positive Energy." Sonic said

"Got it! I must see a future where Humans and Gods live in harmony! Where everyone smiles, laughs, enjoys!" Quetzalcoatl said

"Ishtar. That goes for you as well! You have to think of something positive to increase the Emeralds Energy!" Sonic said

"U-Understood. Although I have nothing, I can think of. I'll find a way sooner." Ishtar replied

"Mash. You can also help the Chaos Emeralds. Think of all the joyous times we had during our journey through all the Sigualrites and the smaller ones we have been through. Helping people out, laughing, making friends, all sorts of positive things. Suppose you can focus your mind on those. Chaos Emeralds will detect them and have enough Energy for their Job to work. Understood?" Sonic asks

"I-I don't know how to tap into the Emeralds. But I will try my best just for you, Senpai! Don't worry. You can count on me as well!" Mash replied

"That's what I like to hear from you! *Both Gave Each Other High Fives. Suddenly, The Chaos Emeralds Begin To Emit Light And Glow A Little More* It Looks like the Emeralds detected our positive Energy." Sonic said

"So that's how it works, huh? Now I understand! This should be a piece of cake!" Quetzacoatl said

"Interesting. Suppose these Chaos Emeralds powered with Positive Energy can match Tiamat's negative Energy. Then you must tap into it and let it sense your positive mind. Our world may be in danger, but don't let it affect your minds to tap into the Emeralds. Fight with positive minds! Then it's settled, and now we know what to do during the fight." Gilgamesh said

"You'll have to use the combat tactic Jaguar Warrior suggested. Put up a magical energy barrier on your feet and fight atop the water." Romani said

"An experienced Servant can do that easily. What about you, Mash? Have you ever done that?" Gilgamesh asks

"I haven't, but I'll do my best! If there's any trick to it, please let me know!" Mash replied

"Fwahaha! There's no time, fool. But the king must aid such courage in a time of need! I thought this might happen, so I hid a water-repelling talisman in that observation post. I call it a water strider. If it's just you, it should keep the water away so you won't fall in. Now then, Sonic The Hedgehog, Mash, and the survivors of the Three Stooge Goddess Alliance! Your enemy is the primordial creature called Tiamat. The one who births the Laḫmu, the very source of Demonic Beasts!" Gilgamesh said

"Does Chaos Emerald absorb that positive energy from him?" Ishtar said

"No. It needs to be an actual positive mindset." Sonic replied


"Blackened Sea*

"Abnormal Spirit Origin confirmed! It's here! Two hundred meters from contact! You should be able to see it! The source of this abnormality is at the ocean's surface!" Romani said

"*Sounds Of Someone Singing Echoed* Ahhhh."

"*Looks And Notices A Giant Two-Horned Woman With Long Light Blue Hair* Is that who we are facing?" Sonic said

"That's Tiamat? So beautiful and melancholy. She doesn't seem anything like the Mother of Demonic Beasts." Mash said

"I've never seen her before, but those big horns symbolize land, and her eyes reflect the stars of the inner sea. That is the Goddess of Creation, Tiamat. Her womb was the soil of life itself; then, it was cast away after fulfilling its purpose of creation. In myths, they say the gods killed her, but in reality, things were slightly different. She was abandoned. She was abandoned by the entire world, by all the children she brought forth. After the planet's environment settled and life was established, she was deemed unnecessary and exiled. She wasn't sent to the old world that lies underneath, but to the Reverse Side. The lifeless World of the Void." Ishtar explained

"That's enough to change the Emeralds Energy from Positive to Negative!" Sonic said

"The fear was the foundation built with great pains would get mixed with the next world's foundation."

"So they sealed her off. Infinitely. And now, she has returned. Whether the Mage King pulled her out of the World of the Void or if it was Humanity itself that called her forth." Ishtar said

"We can't kill her. We need to place her back where she belongs. In a deep slumber." Sonic said

"It doesn't look like she's noticed us, so maybe we can just take her down while she's bound?" Quetzalcoatl said

"I have visual confirmation of Tiamat here, too! This is your chance. Her limbs are still immobile! She's completely sealed! Only her torso and head are free!" Romani said

"We have to send her back where she came from!" Sonic said

"Ahhhh. Ahhhh, Aaaaaa, aaaaaaa!" Tiamat sung

"The magical Energy within Tiamat is surging! No, something's happening! She's putting out as much Energy as a hydrogen bomb! If she fires, Uruk will get blasted even from that distance! Don't let her shoot, Sonic! Defeat her before she makes her move!"

"Ahhhh, Aaaaaa, aaaaaaa!" Tiamat sung

"Alright, now our plan commences!" Sonic said

Sonic, Mash, Ishtar, and Quetzalcoatl were ready to battle Tiamat. Tiamat notices the four flying down towards her as she just stands there, analyzing Sonic. Something she has never seen before. Sonic and Tiamat stared at each other as she slowly raised her arm towards him. Sonic was confused until he turned around and realized she was staring at the Seven Chaos Emeralds.

"She must realize about the Chaos Emeralds! Something she has never seen before." Sonic said

Tiamat sings and fires a shockwave toward the four, trying to push back them back, but the Chaos Emeralds form a shield around them and block the shockwave from hitting them. Tiamat stared at the Emeralds, trying to understand such things were blocking her attacks.

"Chaos Emeralds saved us! Could it mean that positive and Negative Energy is fighting one another?" Mash said

"If I have to guess, Tiamat only sees darkness and void. She notices the Colors coming from the Seven Emeralds and decides to attack them. But she doesn't understand the Emeralds' powers and is attacking without thinking about it. These two are in their early stages. So it's understandable that Chaos Emeralds will block Negative Energy." Sonic replied

Ishtar powers up with Chaos Energy as she opens a massive portal above Tiamat, and a giant planet emerges. The Earth shrinks into small glowing Energy as Ishtar aims an oversized Arrow filled with Chaos Energy straight down to Tiamat and fires it soon after. The Arrows hit Tiamat as a massive explosion erupts around her soon after. Seconds later, the smoke cleared out of the way as Tiamat was nowhere to be found.

"Confirming collapse of Tiamat's Spirit Origin! The Magical Reactor has also stopped! Your attacks defeated Tiamat, mud and all! Now just wait for the ocean to return to normal, retrieve the Grail, and mission accomplished!" Romani excited

"Senpai! We did it! We did it- *Notices Sonic Starring Down At The Water* S-Senpai?" Mash said

"That was too easy to defeat her. She's coming back..." Sonic replied

"WHAT?!" All three shouted

"Confirming reconstruction of Spirit Origin. No, transformation into a mega-structure post-dispersion, increasing scale. Impossible. Can there be such a creature? This is no longer a living being. This, this is! Water levels of the Persian Gulf are rising again! The first wave reached the coast in 5, 4, 3— Observation post submerged! The tidal wave was directed, and it's heading farther onto land! This is deliberate! It's planning to head straight to Uruk and swallow it all up! We just made a huge mistake! What we defeated was just its brain! Everyone, leave that airspace immediately! The real thing is surfacing from below!"

The four flew out of the way as Tiamat appeared again, this time deadlier than last time.

"What the?!"

"Truly a monster. A mobile creature factory. She has enough magical Energy to travel between stars. She has ample life origins stored within her body. Humanity needs a few more centuries to reach this divine ark... This is...this is the Tiamat's true form!"

"She's glaring straight ahead towards Uruk. It looks like we're being spared now, but what should we do!? Quetzalcoatl, what do you think?" Ishtar shock

"Sonic, what about the Chaos Emeralds?!" Quetzacoatl said

"Tiamat's negative Energy continues to rise. Chaos Emeralds, They are still charging up! We need more Positive Energy! Now it's time for us to charge it up! It's now or never!" Sonic replied


*Uruk*

"Currently, there are 306 citizens left in Uruk. Of those, 212 are soldiers, and the rest are civilians. Initially, the citizens refused to evacuate, but after the king spoke to them, they agreed to evacuate to the Northern Wall. Of the citizens who escaped to the Northern Wall, there are 157 survivors. After this afternoon's Laḫmu attack, there are now 38 surviving soldiers. Altogether, there are five hundred humans left alive in Sumer."

"No way! That's impossible!" Sonic said

"Between the two Laḫmu attacks and the sea encroachment, the first dynasty of Uruk has fallen. The kingdom cannot be maintained even if we make it through this predicament. It would only go into decline. As for the Laḫmu, they have split into two groups. One group stops on the spot and turns into a sphere as soon as the sun sets. The other flies back to Tiamat and guards her surroundings. How are the Chaos Emeralds doing?" Gilgamesh said

"They are slowly charging up, but they need to go faster. We need more positive Energy!" Sonic replied

"Only the Emeralds are matched against her! We need to speed up the process! I order everyone to smile and hope for a great outcome! *Smiles* That is why I trust in Emeralds more than anything now." Gilgamesh said

"*The Seven Chaos Emeralds Behind The Five Glows Brighter Now* Gilgamesh, they read your thoughts. They knew what you said was true and charged up again!" Mash said

"It's impossible for any of us to challenge against her empty-handed. But Chaos Emeralds and Tiamat are like brother and sister. One is fighting for what's good, while the other is fighting for destruction. They are as equally matched if you think about it." Gilgamesh replied

"Senpai?"

"What he said was correct. Remember when Tiamat looked at the emeralds when we faced her? Noticing such colors she hasn't seen in a long time. All she saw was despair and hatred, wanting to attack them, but Chaos Emeralds, sensing her hatred, booked it with the shield they created around us. It was leveled but needed more, but we're making progress. By the way, why's that gain leady bests heading towards this specific city anyway?" Sonic asks

"Because this city and Gilgamesh are the symbols of Sumerian civilization. To her, humans and the land are all a single life form. Tiamat is after Uruk, the heart of this land, driven by her primordial instincts." Quetzalcoatl replied

"So that's why she's ignoring my temple. Even if Mt. Ebih disappears, civilization will carry on. But if Uruk and this golden dummy are annihilated here, Mesopotamian civilization itself will vanish." Ishtar said

"I just thought about something. Tiamat's inborn nature is never to experience death. No matter what she does, death will never find her. And with the amount of information I gathered throughout the year analyzing the Chaos Emeralds. They don't want to kill her but ease her and realize her mistakes." Romani said

"Sounds similar to my fight against Dark Gaia. That's why I remember my adventure with Chip of defeating Dark Gaia. I still miss you, buddy." Sonic thought

"Tiamat is the mother of all life in existence. Chaos Emeralds were created before life was created back in Sonic's world as long as life and Energy continue to exist for these. These two will never die. They are the beginning and the end. Without Sonic and the Emeralds. I would've unfortunately said that she was invincible." Romani said

"So the Gods of Sonic's world were the ones who created such Emeralds. To think we are holding such possession by them. It makes me dizzy..." Ishtar said

"Not only that but to ensure her defeat. She has to be the last thing in the world to die." Romani said

"Ereshkigal! Ereshkigal! Ereshkigal, are you there!?"

"*Appears* Hmph. Be more respectful when you're trying to call a goddess! Oh, hey, Sonic. Ereshkigal, Goddess of the Underworld, is in all of her splendor. Do you have business with me, king of Uruk?"

"I called you here to ask for an extra factor for Sonic. Currently, Tiamat is heading for Uruk. She will arrive in two days. If we don't defeat her, Mesopotamia will fall. I want you to attend to Tiamat. That way, Chaos Emeraldas can surely take care of Tiamat and untimely defeat her. In the Underworld, wouldn't she be the last living thing?" Gilgamesh asks

"Summon Mother to my Underworld?" Ereshkigal said

"Open the gate of the Underworld across all of Uruk and bind the Beast of Disaster that calls itself Tiamat down in the Earth's bowels! That is your role after wreaking havoc with the Three Goddess Alliance! Consider that to be your atonement!" Gilgamesh said

"How do you expect me to do something so ridiculous!? Ugh! I guess I have no choice! Don't worry; I heard everything about your pretty Gems, Sonic. They are something I'll tell you."

"If we can manage to drop Tiamat into the Underworld, then defeating her will be guaranteed. But what are we going to do about the time issue? Tiamat will arrive here in Uruk in two days. Ereshkigal needs three days to prepare the gate to the Underworld. If we defeat Tiamat after Uruk falls, we won't be able to repair the collapse of the Foundation of Humanity."

"Chaos Emeralds! I can distract her as much as possible with them with the help of Ishtar!" Sonic replied

"W-What? Me?"

"Yes, you. At the same time, Tiamat's distracted by the emeralds. You call on Gugalanna." Gilgamesh said

"Huh?"

"Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven, who serves Ishtar! It's said to be as big as a mountain and Sumer's greatest Holy Beast!" Mash said

"I heard about that from the people of Ur, yes! They all say Ishtar's Servant Gugalanna is a Holy Beast to be feared! They praised you too, Ishtar, yes! A Holy Beast that none of the other gods could tame, but I hear that you managed to bring it to heel first by being strict, then by being more strict!" Quetzalcoatl said

"I think you're making too big of a deal. Gugalanna isn't that great like Chaos Emeralds. B-Because I don't have Gugalanna. I don't have it! I lost it! I lost it somewhere! I think it was in the north, but I couldn't find it anywhere! I even searched through Babylon, but I just can't find the hide nor hair of Gugalanna!" Ishtar said

"..."

"Alright, let's not get into heated arguments at this rate. We still have Chaos Emeralds in hand. But gathering enough Positive Energy in them will take a while." Sonic said

"No need to worry, I have an idea," Gilgamesh said


That night, a Party was held for Sonic as all the remaining Civilians began to eat, dance, laugh, and shake hands with Sonic for bringing them peace soon to their land. Gilgamesh told the remaining people that a feast would happen tonight to celebrate Sonic's upcoming victory against Tiamat. During the dinner, the Chaos Emeralds gathered all the positive Energy from the people as they continued to glow brighter. As the party went on, so has the Energy of the Chaos Emeralds. Eventually, the Chaos Emeralds were now filled with tons of Positive Energy and are now ready to be used.


*Someplace Else With Ishtar And Mash*

"Ishtar? You aren't at the party right now?" Mash asks

"I should be asking you the same question. Why aren't you with Sonic?" Ishtar said

"Senpai is still busy with the Chaos Emeralds. I heard it's almost completely ready to be used." Mash replied

"I always wondered. How are those Gems going to be useful against Tiamat? We don't know what it does or what power it holds." Ishtar said

"I don't know either. But whatever it is, it guarantees us the win. To think that Senpai is doing all of this for us, even, " Mash replied

"He believes it is just an average day for him. It's funny if you think about it. You have been through a lot with him. It must always be sad to say goodbye to your friends that you met throughout, right?" Ishtar said

"For the past year, yes. But Sonic always tells me. "This won't be the last time you'll see them." With a smile on his face. I learned so much from him and all the Servants we know now. Including the ones that he summoned. Their past experiences and what it felt like during those adventures. All the emotions felt throughout the adventure. Everything. It was like I was there with him, protecting him from danger." Mash said

"I see. You sure did learn a lot from everyone. So that's why your name is Chaldea, huh? Chaldea isn't the name of a country. It's an observatory, right? This body knew about it. You're observing the planet, just like the light of the stars in the night sky. There you can see the life of another person who shined in the distant past, separated by thousands of years. A story of the stars in the sky and of this land. Weaving those together is what you, what Chaldea does. I'm sure that wish is why I felt that I could work with you. If the youngest generation who "lives in the now" comes asking for help, no elder could refuse."

"A story of the stars. The true meaning of the name Chaldea."


*?*

"I've lost everything. I should just shut down. My creator abandoned me, and I never even had a place to return to. I'm just a fake, after all." Kingu said

"What are you doing? Why don't you stand, fool? I can't believe this. Just how busy can it get tonight? I thought I could finally rest, but now I stumble on you. I will forgive you for dripping blood everywhere and falling to your knees. But I won't allow you to put your corpse on display here. Get up, and begone. If you go, I will ignore your crimes." Gilgamesh said

"Aahhh..."

"What's wrong? Can't you stand? Weren't you supposed to be the gods' most incredible creation? I don't know what happened, but you've got a huge hole in your chest. Talk about letting your guard down. Come to think of it. This thing's still been sitting around. I missed the chance to use it. And it feels silly just to throw it away. You can have it. Humph. I know you were using the Grail as a heart before. The Great Grail of Uruk will work just as well."

"Why are you doing this!? I'm your enemy! Tiamat made me! I'm not your Enkidu...! I'm just a doll, with a different heart inside..."

"That's right. You're not Enkidu. You're someone else using a stolen body. But even so, you are still worthy of my protection. No, my friend. Do I have to spell it out, you hopeless fool!? Even if your heart and soul are different, that body of yours is the only Chain of the Heavens on Earth! Once, someone insisted they were a weapon to the very end. But if I had taken them at their word, it's only natural for me to care for you. After all, you're the successor to the weapon I trusted most! What's wrong with me favoring you? Farewell, Kingu. It's the end of the world. Do as you will."

"W-Why?!"

"I'm telling you that, no matter who your mother is or how you were born, you simply do the things you want to do. Like we once did. You said you lost everything? That's laughable. You still have your freedom. You can shut down your heart later."

"I never had a goal I could strive for. I never had a will of my own to choose freedom."


*It All Comes Down To This*

"Are the Chaos Emeralds ready to be used now?" Gilgamesh asks

"They certainly are. Now we just have to wait for an opportunity to unleash them." Sonic replied

"Perfect. The plan worked tremendously. Then, I shall brief you all on last night's survey results! Look here! *Shows A Diagram*."

"This is a diagram of Tiamat's true form? This is made well. How'd you do it?" Quetzalcoatl asks

"It's a collaboration between Uruk's priests and me! Based on their information, I polished it up!" Romani replied

"Last night til dawn, we received several reports from the surviving academic facilities near the coast. "Tiamat is walking on water's surface." "It doesn't look like she can control her weight." "We hypothesize that those legs may be too thin to support that giant body. We should assume Tiamat can only walk on water." If we get rid of the ocean around her, we can stop her movement. Therefore, our objective combat shifts from Tiamat to that black mud. We will remove it entirely!" Gilgamesh said

"Chaldea has named that black mud "Encroaching Ocean: Chaos Tide." They're feverishly analyzing a way to revert it to normal seawater." Romani said

"King Gilgamesh! A report from the south observation post! Tiamat has resumed her advance! Three hours till she reaches the ruins of Girsu City! We estimate eight more hours until she reaches Uruk City!"

"Ugh, she is an early riser for such a massive creature. If so, we must destroy those legs! General, take fifty elites from the wall! We will ride to battle!" Gilgamesh said

"There's no need for that, Gilgamesh. I will be the one to remove that black mud... No, the Chaos Tide. I can't do an entire ocean's worth, but my Noble Phantasm is enough to clear a perimeter around Tiamat once she gets ashore. I will use my Sun's Pilgrimage: Piedra del Sol to vaporize the mud right out from under her, yes! Once that is set and done, Chaos Emeralds come into play." Quetzalcoatl said

"Can you do it, Quetzalcoatl? Can I trust you with this?"

"Si. But it's still dangerous. Piedra del Sol uses a lot of stamina. So, I need to have Sonic take me right up to Tiamat. And supply me with Chaos Energy while I use my Noble Phantasm."

"So, you're saying we need to somehow deal with the Laḫmu flying around, get right under Mother's legs and then stay there the entire time Quetzalcoatl is deploying her Noble Phantasm!?"

"I have no problem with that! Let's do this!" Sonic said

"Now go Sonic The Hedgehog. Save Humanity! The faith of the world rests in your hands!' Gilgamesh shouted


*Outside*

"I declare to all remaining citizens of Uruk. I commend you for surviving to this day. First and foremost, I am delighted at our success! Over six months ago, when the Demonic Front was set up, I told all of you: No matter what we do, Uruk will fall. I will not determine for you how you should meet that end. You can flee. You can drown in pleasures. You can throw yourselves down to the Underworld in despair. However, you all said you would fight. Despite knowing the end was coming, you were determined to resist. Truly...Uruk was a fortunate city. Its history, its life, its people— Myself included. The protection of gods is no longer needed in the world of man. As proof, I built a fortress, and you all answered my call. I know now, with certainty, that it was no mistake! And now, this final trial will test it, and us, to the utmost. Now is the time to deny the primordial god and begin the age of man! Mind yourselves, my elite warriors! This is the battle for actual separation from the gods! Give your lives to me, the king! Pass on the glory that is Uruk to generations to come, to the last man!" Gilgamesh said for all of Man inside Uruk

"Sonic, Mash, Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, and Jaguar Warrior! We're at the point of no return for this battle. You'll all be pushed to your absolute limits. Are you prepared?" Romani asks

"This is for everyone, Chaldea, Da Vinci, the Servants, and Most Importantly... Olga Marie Animusphere." Sonic replied

"Yes! Do this for the Director! Today shall be the day she sees the light again! We are all counting you, Sonic!" Romani shouted


*Blackened Sea*

The five arrived at the Blackened Sea as they all began fighting the Lahmus surrounding Tiamat. Ishtar fired arrows at the Lahmus, flying towards her and keeping the others safe. Quetzalcoatl punches and smashes Lahmus together, using Lucha Libre's moves to take them down one by one. Sonic homing attacked the Lahmus flying down towards him, Mash, and the Chaos Emeralds. I pushed them away as Jaguar Warrior attacked them andddroppedds them deep into the mud.

"Increase in the number of Laḫmu and transformed Laḫmu! The potency of the Chaos Tide is also rising!"

"It seems the closer we get to Tiamat, the stronger the corruption gets! It will be much worse by her feet if it's this bad so far away!"

"Now's not the time for this! We need to continue pushing further. The Chaos Emeralds are waiting for their powers to be unleashed. I can hear them calling me!" Sonic replied

"Jaguar! Run interference! Show me your speed! It looks like other humans are fighting out there! We'll try to save as many of them as possible!"

"Okay, leave it to me! As the beautiful Beast of the wasteland, Jaguar Warrior, I'd run thousands of miles to help you, Kuku! This is going to hurt quite a bit, but I'm going to go crazy and get the attention of those Laḫmu! Sonic, take care of Kuku! She gets outraged and scared when things get bad! *Dashes Away To Fight The Lahmus And Distract Them*."

"Thank you, Jaguar Warrior. I promise I'll meet you again soon." Sonic said

"*Continues To Fire At The Incoming Lahmus* Sonic! Can the emeralds be helpful in this scenario?" Ishtar said

"Certainly. *Raises Arm Up High As The Emeralds Begin To Emit Light. Causing The Lahmus To Screech In Pain* They are bothered by the light. Now's your chance!" Sonic said

Quetzalcoatl and Ishtar soon began taking down the Lahumus, distracted by the light of the Chaos Emeralds.

"Hurry up! Tiamat's still speeding up! She's going to reach the Fangs of Napishtim soon! If it's destroyed, the Chaos Tide will flood into Uruk!" Romani shouted

"Time for the Serpents to go a little faster. *Each serpent Begins To Fly Even Faster Now* That's better." Sonic said

"500 hundred meters until we reach Tiamat! Will catch up to Tiamat in no time." Mash said

"Master, continue using the Emeralds light to distract the Lahmus! Will get there faster soon enough!" Quetzalcoatl shouted

"Got it!"

Using the Chaos Emerald light as a distinction, the group manages to escape from the hoard of Lahmus that were there to kill them and were far enough to where they couldn't see the group anymore.

"We did it! We've caught up to Tiamat! Our plan is a go, Master!" Mash said

"We did it, Sonic! Is it time to use the Chaos Emerald now?" Ishtar said

"You bet y'all!" Sonic replied

"Quetzalcoatl, you ready?"

"Of course. Ready to go! Everyone, after I fly off, move away from Tiamat. If you stay too close, you'll burn up along with everything. Te Amo, Sonic! I'll see you back at Chaldea! *Flies Towards Tiamat As She Unleashes Chaos Energy* All right then, I'm going to burn off the face of the Earth...just a little! Tiamat. The Primordial Sea that wove the base for all life. See that you, of all beings, seek to destroy Humanity and create a new world... My heart breaks for you, Tiamat... However... This world belongs to humans! Without reason, without a will, without a soul... You elect to consume and destroy your children in blind hatred! This, I cannot allow. South America's Goddess lives with the forest and beasts! The sun blesses life and creation, not destruction! The past is here! The present is here. The future is here! Come winds, come lightning! When the morning star shines, let all know the sun's light reaches every corner of the Earth! Piedra Del Sol!"

Moments later, Quetzalcoatl lunges toward Tiamat with her right arm on fire and throws a massive punch towards Tiamat, causing an enormous explosion much more potent than a nuke and a gigantic shockwave erupting. Mash blocks the shockwave for her and Sonic as the Black Mud disappears underneath the two.

"Incredible," Sonic said

"She is the principal Deity of South America! That's one heck of a trump card she's got! If she'd used this on Uruk, it would've burned to cinders in a-"

"Tiamat! The Chaos Tide is flowing out from under Tiamat's feet! Quetzalcoatl's Noble Phantasm has reappeared! She's deploying it again!" Mash shock

"Quetzalcoatl...! Are you going to burn yourself up...!?"

"*Fight The Lahmus And Being Heavily Injured, But Chaos Energy Heals Her Soon After* Stretching into needles and pulling an aerial move... What are you, missiles!? They went through my shoulders, stomach, and thighs so quickly! Yet, I didn't feel a thing. But still, I won't stop! No matter the cost, I'll keep...this...burning! Come on, Ereshkigal, hurry! I'm in this until you're done, or they tear me to pieces! Hee...it's a mud wrestling match! I'll...draw this out...all day if I— What the!?"

"She's lifting her horns? She's gathering the magical Energy that held her body above the mud into her horns...almost like wings. Oh no. This thing's going to fly!"

"*Returns With The Group* Hi, I'm back! Tiamat. No, who cares what it's called now? That thing is stupid tough and a cheater!" Quetzalcoatl replied

"We've burned away the mud from the sea, but if the black mud comes from Mother, that doesn't matter," Ishtar said

"There's no point in going back now. If we don't stop Tiamat, all the work being done in Uruk as we speak will be for nothing." Quetzalcoatl replied

"*Notices Tiamat Flying* Now this is your third level, huh? Heh. How cute." Sonic commented

"Before you use the Emeralds. Allow me to hit it again. *Kisses Sonic In The Cheek* Master, we shall meet very soon. *Chaos Energy Aura Surrounds Her And Jumps Back, Unleashing Her Noble Phantasm Again* The weapons of Mesopotamia cannot hurt it... I was the one who said that. However! I am not a weapon of this world, but a Divinity of a distant mystic land! The primordial god of Mesopotamia, you are nothing to me! Here I go... Witness the power of our Underworld, Xibalba, and the explosive impact that annihilated countless lives! I shall burn everything away and become the comet that killed the Earth! Ultimo Tope Patada! Burning fighting spirit, Xiuhcoatl!"

Quetzalcoatl lunges into the air, leaves the atmosphere, and flies back down in hypersonic speed as she slams her foot down onto Tiamat, but the shields covering Tiamat block her. However, she easily breaks through the protection due to Chaos Energy. Unleashing her full power, seconds later, a massive explosion erupts around Tiamta as Sonic, Mash, and Ishtar are pushed back from a powerful shockwave. Once the shockwave passed, the three noticed that Tiamat was now heavily injured but still standing.

"Quetzalcoatl's final Noble Phantasm did massive damage, but its still not enough," Ishtar said

"Aaaaaahhh AaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

"Detecting a magical energy surge emanating from Beast II's back! A massive expansion of the dorsal skeletal structure... She's going to fly!"

"Tiamat is flying...! She's going to head towards Uruk—No, something is wrong! Something is coming from the Chaos Tide... That's"

"Aaaaahhh AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! *Several Snakes Appear From The Black Mud Underneath Them As They All Attacked Tiamat*."

"Several large snakes have appeared and have coiled around Tiamat!" Mash shock

"They're beating Mother with sheer strength...!? What's going on!? Where did they come from!?" Ishtar said

"*Notices Gorgon Appearing From The Mud* Gorgon..." Sonic said

"I will have my vengeance against Tiamat for myself, not for you. Do not interfere, Sonic. Not even those Gems of yours." Gorgon said

"I'm not leaving here. I will stand and fight for as long as I need." Sonic replied

"Hmph. As expected from a Rodent like you. You aren't afraid of me. *Smiles And Looks Back At Tiamat* You... I will send you to the bone! This is what we both deserve! I will be the Great Snake and bring the Earth Dragon down! Composite Deity, united threshold! Melt everything! Pandemonium, Cetus!"

Sonic, Mash, and Ishtar Grogon unleash her Noble Phantasm toward Tiamat. A powerful beam engulfs Tiamat and destroys the right horn of Tiamat.

"Aaaaaahhh AAAAaaaaahhh."

"Tiamat's right horn has been destroyed. I can–I have visual confirmation that Gorgon is dead. But... Tiamat is... She's still going..."

"Hehe. *Stands Up From The Serpent And Jumps Off From It As The Seven Chaos Emeralds Followed Him Down*."

"SENPAI!"

"SONIC!"

"Go without me! I got this!" Sonic shouted

"SENPAI!" Mash shouted

"Trust me! Go back to Uruk! I'll meet you there!" Sonic said as he continued to fall straight down

"What does goes inside that Hedgehog's Mind?" Ishtar said

Mash and Ishtar began to fly away as Mash looked and saw the lights continue falling with Sonic. Tiamat overlooked Sonic as she continued to make her way toward Uruk.

"Heh, you are quite the Goddess, aren't yall? But allow me to show you what Chaos Emeralds can do for a Hedgehog like me. *Chaos Emeralds Begin To Glow Brighter* Time to show you how I deal with gods like you!" Sonic said

"Aaaaaahhh AAAAaaaaahhh."


*With Gilgamesh*

"You're back? Where the hell is Sonic? Don't tell me..." Gilgamesh said

"Sonic stayed back at the Blackened Sea. I don't know why but that's what he wanted to do." Mash replied

"I see. Whatever he is doing, It is better understood than just willy Milly. Anyway, Take a look. This is Uruk in its entirety. One more step and it will be wiped off the land. The end of the world. Something even Sonic wouldn't process such disaster." Gilgamesh said

"Terrible. I took my anger out on Uruk in various ways before. Does Mother hate humans that much?"

"The voice of that Beast does not seem to reach us. First off, does that thing even have a mind of its own? It's a mechanism that only exists to destroy the world. The moment it turned into an Evil of Humanity, I assume it ceased to be the Tiamat you knew through your father." Gilgamesh said

Seconds later, Tiamat appears from the sky, standing on top of Uruk. Mash's eyes widen, and she realizes that Sonic is nowhere in sight. I thought that Tiamat killed Sonic.

"*Tears Rolling* S-Senpai..."

"Sonic said that the fight must continue if he ever goes down! Ishtar, take to the sky! You can fly, so there is no reason to remain on Celestial Hill! Stand by in the sky! Hover above those dark clouds, directly under the sun! I'll issue instructions when ready!" Gilgamesh said

"Gilgamesh, take care of Mash! *Flies Off And Leaves The Two*" Ishtar said

"Mash, Don't stand there looking so smug. Be careful and watch closely. This is Uruk's last stand against Tiamat! *The Dingers All Fired Towards Tiamat At Fast As They Can* All 360 Dingirs mounted on the walls were made by MY hand, infused with MY magical energy, and controlled by ME! If I work this body to death, I can control them like this!" Gilgamesh said

"Mash, I'm trying to locate Sonic's coordinates, but he doesn't appear here! Don't think that he's dead just yet! I know he's doing well and understands the current situation!" Romani said

"I-I understand. I know he's still alive! He wouldn't just abandon us like that! He has a plan!" Mash replied

Suddenly, Tiamat looks at the sky and notices something. She roars as she fires a beam towards it. Confused, Gilgamesh and Mash turn to see what Tiamat is aiming at, but nothing is in sight. Suddenly, a yellow beam appeared from the sky as it headed straight toward Tiamat and pierced her through the chest, causing her to roar in pain.

"Where did that beam come from? W-What was she aiming for?" Mash said

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That rodent is always full of surprises. *Continues To Fire The Dingers At Tiamat* Look alive, Mash! Sonic is still with us and is on his way to stop Tiamat." Gilgamesh said

"Tiamat has reached Uruk! Three more minutes until she resembles the ziggurat! On top of that, we've confirmed a considerable discharge of Laḫmu! A Laḫmu horde is coming ahead of Tiamat. There are over 8,000 of them! Escape into the ziggurat! There's nothing else that can be done!" Roman said


*With Ishtar*

"Come on, Sonic. Wherever you are, you better hurry up! We need you! *Suddenly Notices Hundreds Of Chains Destroying The Lahmu's Surrounding Her* Kingu!?"

"2,000 Laḫmus left. A pittance. Humph. Didn't I tell you? As long as I have a heart, you creatures are no match against me. Having trouble against this mass-produced trash shows how useless Hedgehog was. They couldn't do anything alone for all their show of confidence, and they knew it. But they survived to the end. Heh-heh. I can do anything alone, huh? The moment I thought that proved that I was imperfect. I haven't sided with humans. I am a new type of human entirely. I am Kingu, the one and only member of the new humanity. However, Forget about my Mother or my origins. Do something I genuinely want to do, huh? That's not what I am. That's not who I was. That wasn't me, Gil. When I think about it, there is one thing. I wanted to see you. I wanted to talk to you—about all the memories left in this heart and my impressions of them. I wanted to share them with you, as your friend. But that can't happen. That wish wasn't mine. It belonged to the machine called Enkidu. And my wish is the same as it's always been. It has nothing to do with new humanity or old humanity. I was born into this world to preserve it." Kingu said

"AAAAAAaahhhhhh! Kinnnnnguuuu." Tiamat said

"Farewell, Mother. You chose the wrong child. This body remembers what it's supposed to do. Great Grail of Uruk, lend me your power. Kingu, son of Tiamat, will show you the power of the Chain of the Heavens! Mother's fury is a thing of the past. Now I will awaken the breath of stars Enuma Elish! Humans, let us bind the gods!"

Moments later, Kingu unleashes her Noble Phantasm toward Tiamat, summoning hundreds of chains and forcing Tiamat to be trapped by the Chains.

"Those are chains or something like chains binding Tiamat. And how much time has passed? Mash asks

"As you can see, Tiamat is right at our doorstep. Just a few more steps over here will reduce this ziggurat to ashes. Hah. But it's frustrating her. With those chains, even a single step is so difficult. It was only a momentary restraint but a mind-numbing eternity for her. Goodbye, a celestial orphan. This feat, here, was equal to any in your life before. The Chain of the Heavens held back the physical strength of a god of creation." Gilgamesh said

"Aaaaaa— AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"King Gilgamesh, can you hear me!? This is Ereshkigal of the Underworld! The phase transition between underground Uruk and the underworld is done! We just need to dig a hole!" Ereshkigal said

"Got it. Did you hear that, Ishtar?"

"Of course. I've been ready and waiting for an hour. I've been watching you make faces I've never seen before. But are you sure about this? Do you have no regrets?" Ishtar asks

"Of course not. What is there to be sad about? I sent my friend off twice. The first time I was mourning. But this time is different. His proud, bold figure is burned into my memory for eternity."

"Come on. That's not what I am talking about, dummy. Even till the end, you don't think of me? Well, that doesn't matter to me now. Perhaps it'd be a bit annoying if I was ONLY Ishtar. All right! That's enough melodramatic speechifying from me! Here I go, Goldie, Fujimaru! As requested, I will punch through the ground beneath your feet with no mercy! *Unleashes Noble Phantasm*" Ishtar said

"*Looks Back At Sky And Notices A Golden Light Appearing From The Dark Clouds* Sonic The Hedgehog. Master of Chaldea. The time has come. I am leaving everything in your hands now. Now, I'll leave the rest to you, defeat Tiamat!" Gilgamesh said

"Beast II is right before us! She's stomping towards us! King Gilgamesh, take cover!" Mash shouted

"Nonsense. I am the last lure. Come, Tiamat! Crush me! This is your grave—No, this is where we'll drag you down to hell!"

"*A Voice Echoed Through The Sky* Mash! Get ready; I'm coming!"

"S-Senpai!"

"Crouch down and anchor yourself to the ground! Ishtar's Noble Phantasm is going to hit the base of the ziggurat! Prepare for impact!"


*Underworld*

"*Falling With Fou* I can't see what's below us! At this rate, we'll fall to our deaths before Tiamat!" Mash said

"Fooou!"

"*Stops Mash From Falling* Seems like your Master pulled out in the last second. I'm only joking. I permit you to float in the underworld. Gather magical energy in your feet and imagine the ground. That way, you should be able to hover a bit. I'm glad you could make it. But pleasantries will have to wait. Behold!" Ereshkigal said

"*Looks* Tiamat!? Then we were successful in leading her to the underworld!?" Mash said

"Yes, look up. You can see Uruk. Ishtar destroyed the foundations of Uruk, bringing it all down here." Ereshkigal replied

"The distance to the surface is over 2,000 meters... Impressive, so this is the underworld of the Age of Gods. I'm almost not sure what I'm looking at. Is it deep, or...? But more importantly, what's that!? Ishtar's Noble Phantasm set Tiamat ablaze, and it doesn't seem to be going out!" Romani shock

"Oh, that's one of the underworld's security features. This happens to those who come without my permission. The world itself laid down this law. Nothing can survive once it's set off, not even Tiamat. So where's Sonic? Isn't he the final one to stand against Tiamat?" Ereshkigal said

"He is, but I don't know where he is. But we must continue the fight even if it's just us!" Mash replied

"All right? Then I'm going to begin! Leave it to me. I'll be the one that will save this place! I'll finish her off for you...! Hear me, gallû spirits, the spears of rotting flesh and death! Feel the wrath of the iron hammer of Kur! Everyone, attack!"

Suddenly, Ereshkigal unleashes her Noble Phantasm down onto Tiamat and fires hundreds of arrows down at her, piercing through her body. The Noble Phantasm lasted a few more seconds until the arrows stopped falling.

"Well? That's about it. Here in Kur, even Tiamat is just another god. The all-out attack from me and the gallû spirits was enough to dispatch—to...diaspora- *Notices Tiamat Covering Herself In Mud*."

"The Chaos Tide is corrupting the underworld! This is bad! It...it'll take over the whole underworld if it keeps spreading! That's not all... What is this reading!? Beast II's Spirit Origin is... It's growing! Reversion to the Age of Gods has reached the Jurassic Age! It's no longer just a Servant possessing Divinity. This is an actual deity!" Romani shouted

"H-h-huh!? Wh-wh-wh-what's happening!? Did I do something!?"

"Spirit Origin inflation has halted, and the Magical Reactor Core is rebooting too! The wounds she sustained in the fall to the underworld are healing, too! But the injury from that unknown beam won't heal! However, It's coming! That! That's the true form of Beast II!" Romani shouted

"Aaaaaaa, AAAAAAAAAA— LaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—"

"Tiamat is birthing more Laḫmu! They're spreading throughout the underworld!" Mash said

"Impossible! We can't possibly do this! We can't beat all of those by ourselves! I mean, the wave's coming! It'll take over the underworld!" Ereshkigal shock

"Quit whining, you dumb-dumb! And you call yourself the goddess of the land of death, meow!? *Slashes The Lahmu* Yes! It's a bird! It's a balloon! No, it's an optical illusion! I'm the tiger that races through the underworld. People call me Jaguar Warrior! Where the hell is Sonic? Did he leaves us to deal with this?!'" Jaguar Warrior said

"Tiger! A tiger has come to the underworld! I don't believe it! Is that a legit tiger!?" Ereshkigal shock

"Read them and weep, little girl! Now stop complaining and continue with that paw-some attack!"

"B-but it wasn't having any effect...! And Kur's output is dropping as a whole!"

"Even if it isn't practical, we have no other choice! You may not believe it, but Tiamat is at her weakest right meow! But if we don't do something right here, never mind the end of humanity! It'll be the end of everything! Just see what happens if she makes it back to the surface! She'd cover the whole world in that mud in less than a day!"

"It's true! As we speak, the Chaos Tide has already consumed most of the underworld! You can't let it get to the surface! You have to get rid of it here at all costs! Luckily, the Chaos Tide and the Laḫmu are all part of Tiamat. They don't count as "other life!"

Suddenly, the Chaos Tide began to bloom flowers under Tiamat. And draining Tiamat's power.

"No need to be alarmed. I just needed to talk with someone before I arrived here. Before a question, I am the real deal, the genuine Merlin. I just popped over from Avalon!" Merlin appearing

"Yes! We've been waiting for you, Merlin! We are thrilled to see you again!"

"*Notices Wings Appearing Behind Tiamat's Back* Beast II has deployed horned wings from its back now! Look, I think Merlin pissed it off! He may have stopped the mud from encroaching on the underworld, but not Beast II itself! It's trying to fly back up to the surface of Uruk!" Romani said

"Hmmm. Goddesses trying to ground her, a pitfall into the underworld with Uruk as bait, the Chain of the Heavens binding her, the punishment of the underworld, and my beautiful flowers. They are our last hope, aren't they? They come from different realms, but I'm suprise they overpower Heroic Spirits." Merlin said

"What are you talking about, Merlin?" Mash asks

"Everyone! Look up at the sky, primordial sea! Look up, goddess of life, and know the true power of the Chaos Emeralds." Merlin said

"Looks like that Beast lady needs to be taught a lesson!" A Voice said

Tiamat and the others look up and notice someone floating in the sky and looking down at Tiamat. Mash stares at the sky for a few moments and realizes who it is, causing her eyes to widen. His Blue fur changed to Golden Yellow, his green pupils turned red, his peach skin gained a slightly golden hue, and the quills on his head pointed upwards. It was none other than Sonic himself in a different form.

"Time to settle this, Tiamat! Super Sonic Style!" Super Sonic said

"*Eyes Widen* Aaaaaaaahhhh AaAa, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Tiamat responded

"S-Senpai..."

"I-Is that Sonic? What happened to him?! Why is Golden instead of Blue all of a sudden?!" Ishtar shock

"What the hell is happening?! I can feel such high energy just by staring at him!" Ereshkigal shock

"Woohoo! Welcome back, Sonic! I knew you wouldn't ditch us!" Jaguar Warrior said

Moments later, Tiamat fires a beam toward Super Sonic with her eyes. Super Sonic moves out the way quickly as the beam flies past him, missing him. Tiamat fires beams toward Super Sonic as he moves out of the way of each beam fired at him, quickly and effortlessly.

"He dodged those beams like it was nothing!" Ishtar said

"Just who exactly is this creature?!" Ereshkigal said

"He's our savior," Mash replied

Super Sonic smiles as he revs up and dashes toward Tiamat, piercing Tiamat's right eye and coming out from behind her. Tiamat roars in pain as she looks at Super Sonic with his arms folded with a smile. Tiamat summons hundreds of Lahmus using the Chaos Tide as they all charge toward Super Sonic. Super Sonic smiles as he holds up his right fist as a golden aura surrounds it.

"Sonic Wind! *Massive Tornado Surrouns The Hundreds Of Lahmus, The Power Wind Blades Slashing And Slicing The Lahmus Down Like It Was Nothing* Is that all you got? *Look At The Group Who Were Watching Him Fight* Come on, team! Time to take Tiamat back where she came from!" Super Sonic said

"You heard him! We have to take down Tiamat!" Mash shouted

"Let's finish her!"

Moments later, Ishtar flies toward Tiamat and fires arrows around her body, and Ereshkigal fires mighty arrows toward Tiamat. The arrows punctured Tiamat all exploded around her, causing her to roar in pain. Tiamat summons more Lahmus with the Chaos Tide as the creatures all begin to surround the group and attack them. Merlin and Mash were fighting off the Lahmus that were trying to attack them, pushing them away as much as they can but more and more Lahmus all attacked them. Tiamat look's toward Merlin and Mash as she fires multiple deadly beams Toward them. Merlin and Mash notice the oncoming beams and were about to block them until Super Sonic appears in front of them and blocks the beams from attacking Merlin and Mash. Moments later, the beams were blocked as Super Sonic looks back at Mash and Merlin.

"Hey there, Mash. Sorry for making you worry so much about me. I needed to take care of the Lahmus around me but they were easy to handle." Super Sonic said

"Senpai! That transformation... It's absolutely beautiful. I-I don't know what to say about it. It's beautiful!" Mash said

"Truly spectacular, isn't it?"

"I wish I can have a secret transformation like that." Jagua Warrior said

Super Sonic hears Tiamat's roars, staring at him ready to fire more beams at him. Super Sonic then gives some energy to Mash, with a yellow aura surrounding her as she begins to float. Sonic hols onto Mash's hand gently as the two began to fly towards Tiamat. Merlin and Jaguar Warrior continue to fight the last remaining Kahmus around as Mash and Super Sonic head towards Tiamat. Tiamat notices the two heading towards them as she fires a powerful beam toward them, both of them dodging the beam as Mash flies toward's Tiamat's face and throws a powerful shield swing at her, knocking her head back and causing her to roar in pain. A few moments later, Super Sonic then dashes toward Tiamat as she fires an even stronger beam towards him, Super Sonic places his arm in front of him and blocks the beam as he continues to fly towards Tiamat. Sonic continues to block the beam from hitting as he curls into a ball and performs a power homing attack directly onto Tiamat's hand and knocks her up. Ereshkigal and Ishtar continue to fire arrows toward Tiamat, disrupting her by attacking Super Sonic or Mash as Ishtar aims an arrow toward Tiamat's head and fires it, causing an explosion that disrupts Tiamat. Mash, Ishtar, and Ereshkigal continue to injure Tiamat around her body, damaging her as much as they can until Ereshkigal stops Tiamat by blocking her with large boulders unable to make her move an inch. Ereshkigal and Super Sonic both nodded at each as Super Sonic flies out of the underworld, back to the surface

"All you need Tiamat. After years of hatred. Betrayalcurled into a ball, and dashed toward Tiamat at high speed. Tiamat looks up as Super Sonic directly hits her in the head and everything begins to glow around the two. Everyone all watches as Tiamat roars in extreme pain as a bright yellow light erupts around Tiamat and Super Sonic.


*?*

Sonic finds himself inside a white void and notices Tiamat standing in front of him, standing still and not moving an inch. Super Sonic stood still and watch Tiamat stare at him.

"You defeated me. You defeated me without the intention to kill me. Unknown Child. You showed me what true love really means." Tiamat said

"*Eyes Widen* Y-You can talk?!" Sonic shock

"That final hit. I experienced all of the happiness of life. All of the smiles, laughs, tears, everything that makes my children smile. I never wanted this to happen. But all the time of hatred and despair has gotten over me. But thanks to you, *Smiles* You gave me a second chance. I now realize what true love means. *Picks Up Sonic And Brings Him Closer To Her* Thank you. Thank you so much for realizing my mistakes." Tiamat said

"Don't worry, Tiamat. That was my first intention to begin with. All you needed... Was a friend to understand. I understood everything when I heard about your past. My heart aches for your troubles That's why I needed to do what I had to do. That's why I needed to save you from there." Sonic replied

"*Hugs Sonic* A friend. That would be nice, my child. Please, allow me to thank you for all of this. Let me ask you something. Let me be with you forever. You are the one who gave me a second chance. You saved me. You were the one I want to help you. I don't ever want to leave your side. Let me fight for what's good instead of bad. *Tears Rolling Down Her Face.*" Tiamat said

"You are welcome to join me, Tiamat. I'll accept you anytime! Once Humanity is saved from all this mess. You know where to find me. After that, will spend our time together forever and I'll help you understand more goods of the world." Sonic replied

"*Teas Continue To Roll Down* Thank you. Thank you so much. This is the first time in a while where I felt accepted. Someone who cares about me dearly. I love you, my child." Tiamat said

"There, there, just let out everything. No need to hide it anymore." Sonic commented


*The Surface*

Finally, after so much trouble fighting the Lahmus, Demonic Beasts, Beasts. Tiamat was finally put back into her slumber as the group returned back to the surface. Sonic returns to his normal blue state as the emeralds return to their original working selves.

"And so, peace has finally returned," Sonic said

"I've confirmed that Beast II has finally been defeated. And Singularity's cause is vanishing. Now things should slowly return to normal in Mesopotamia, to the original history." Romani said

"And when I opened my eyes in Uruk, the Holy Grail was in my hands, Senpai. We managed to retrieve it!" Mash said

"*Stretching His Arms* And thus, our journey through the Singularities are over. We came a long way, Mash. Haven't we?" Sonic said

"We sure did, Sonic. *Gives Sonic A Fist Bump*"

"Why, hello there. I'm glad you're doing well, Merlin. Do you remember? I promised you payback, yes!" Quetzalcoatl said

"Quetzalcoatl?!" Sonic shock

"No way! It's Quetzalcoatl!?" Merlin shock

"I'm not letting you get away, no! I'm going to muuurder you, yesss! *Hits Merlin Over And Over*."

"Ahhhhhhhh?! What the hell, it hurts! Why does it hurt!? I'm an incubus, but it really hurts! I know every pain, chill, and itch one can feel, but this is...Quetzalcoatl, what IS this?!" Merlin said

"The essence of Lucha, a joint lock! You call this a Cobra Twist in other places, yes!"

"Owwwww! What kind of horrible monster are you!? And why are you still around?! Didn't you pull some big self-sacrifice thing to kill Tiamat, to zero effect?" Merlin in pain

"That's because I saved her! You see, there was this space debris streaking through the stratosphere, like a falling star! So I said, "Oh, that's Kuku," ok? So I'm like, "Arrrrrrgh—"! And I ran above the mud, and caught her at the last second like a BOSS! She was so hot and fiery, my fur was burning. And thanks to the slippery mud, we were on a non-stop slip-and-slide course to the port. I managed to make it to the forest, meow, and buried Kuku in the ground, and just when I got back to Uruk.I saw that big hole and I was like, "Better go help Sonic," so I jumped down to fight, but I felt more dead than alive in there, meow!" Jaguar Warrior said

"We appreciate you for the help, Jaguar Warrior!" Sonic replied

"Those words are paw-positively enough for me! All right, I'm pumped up now! I'm going to Chaldea, too!"

"Whew. I think that's enough punishment! After all, Merlin's knavish ways are what helped us out!" Quetzalcoatl said

"Hm? What's up with the sparkles? I feel so purrty, but I'm disappearing from my feet up?"

"Am I finally gaining another star as a Divine Spirit?"

"Of course not. You're just leaving, Jaguar. It's the Earth's way of saying that our job here is done. It was an unnatural summoning, to begin with. A Divine Summon, only possible because the Mother Goddess Tiamat was here. But thanks to Sonic, I'm already one of his Servants. Bye-bye, My little Master! I'll see you back at Chaldea!" Quetzalcoatl said before teleporting to Chaldea as well as Jaguar Warrior vanishing away

"She was quite the boisterous goddess till the end. Though I guess I shouldn't be talking." Ishtar said

"Hey there, Ishtar!" Sonic said

"Ishtar! You're safe! And it doesn't look like you're fading away. Are you going to stay in this era?"

"Yes. But don't worry, the Servant version of me has been transported to Chaldea. And besides, I did receive 40 percent of the gems in Babylon's treasury. It'd be a waste not to enjoy them." Ishtar said

"Wait, where's Ereshkigal?" Sonic asks


*?*

"Ereshkigal! What did you just do!? The goddess of the underworld, helping the living for free! And not just any living creature, a human! Don't you know the repercussions of a goddess breaking two such taboos!?" Ishtar said

"I'm the mistress of the underworld. I simply used the method most likely to succeed in protecting it." Ereshkigal replied

"What's with that smug look? Your knees are shaking! It's not too late. Remove the Blessing of Kur! You finally found someone you can talk to, right!? What good will it be if you disappear now!? Even if you do get another chance, it won't be the same you. You might not have the same personality you have now. You won't meet people like you did this time!" Ishtar said

"Maybe I'll meet someone next time in an even more dramatic fashion."

"You won't be summoned in the first place! If it's not the current you, none of your connections or memories will remain!"

"I see. Yeah, you're right. But I'm okay with that. It's not like I like the current "me" or anything. As long as Sonic doesn't change his positive attitude. That's good. As long as he remembers me, we shall see each other soon. I know that, so that's why I can give up everything here." Ereshkigal said


*Present*

"Sonic. When I saw you in such a form. I knew you wouldn't need my help. I knew you would've defeated her. And here you are, you conquered another beast. Now then, I must go. Return to Chaldea, sing the song of your victory, and praise your name for all to hear. Hold on a second. I forgot to ask something. How was Uruk? You've been here for a while." Gilgamesh asks

"*Smiiles* One hundred stars outta 10. Would rest here again." Sonic replied

"I see. One more thing, as a matter of kingly dignity. If travelers are able to leave with a smile, then a good country should send them off with a souvenir. Oh, now that I mention it, I do have a little something. A specialty of Uruk, some wheat ale. Take it with you. *Gives It To Sonic.* Our battle was a truly gratifying victory! With your return, I declare operations at the Demonic Front concluded! Do not fail to prevent the Incineration of Humanity! *Vanish*" Gilgamesh said

"*Looks At The Bottle* I think Francis Drake would enjoy this more then me." Sonic commented

"*Notices Herself And Sonic Glowing* It seems we're being forced out as well. Doctor, no problems there, right?" Mash said

"Yep, we're ready to receive you. Sonic, you have the Chaos Emeralds ready for the Director?" Romani asks

"I'm ready as always! Let's get going and save her!" Sonic replied

"Well, I guess it really is time to bid my farewell. Well, since I can't die, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be watching over your fight." Merlin said

"It was great meeting you the real Merlin," Sonic replied

"You as well, King Arthur from another world. Your actions are something that only I can truly appreciate. In any event, I'll be taking my leave, Sonic. I honor your battles. The Emeralds are expecting one more battle at the end of Humanity. Have a good journey until the end. I pray for clear skies at the end of your travels." Merlin said


*Chaldea*

"And we are back, Senpai. Are the Chaos Emeralds ready for the Director?" Mash asks

"Yes, they are! No time to waste, let's get going-"

"Red alert. Emergency. Red alert. Emergency. Chaldea external reactive theory units seven through three have been destroyed. Proof of non-existence, failing. Detecting fluctuations in the strength of pseudo-Spiritrons comprising the facility. We're being drawn towards the Quantum Time Lock. T-minus 4368 hours until Chaldea exterior settles on 2018. T-minus ■■■ hours until inner-Chaldea settles on 12/31/2018."

"What the?! What's going on?!" Sonic said

"Doctor! Someone is hacking us remotely!"

"The time has finally come, Sonic. Solomon is interfering... No, we're being drawn in, I imagine. We've analyzed the Holy Grail from the Seventh Singularity. The result we've found the coordinates for a Singularity that doesn't exist in human history. Confirmed, it's Solomon's–the Mage King's–Singularity! But the reverse is true, too. The second we learned those coordinates, Solomon learned the coordinates of Chaldea. In other words, Chaldea is trying to merge with the Mage King's Singularity." Romani said

"So this is it, huh?" Sonic asks

"If we continue to be drawn in like this, this place is going to be destroyed, like a star being sucked into a black hole." Da Vinci said

"Right. We'll just have to defeat Solomon before then. We know the coordinates of their Singularity. We can Rayshift at any time. It looks like that's not going to happen. We don't have any time, and neither does humanity. Solomon's goal. The band of light. What exactly is the Incineration of Humanity? This operation will see all those questions answered. Sonic, gather all the Servants now and prepare for our final battle." Romani said

"But what about Olga Marie?!" Sonic said

"You must save her right now! We have one day for all of us to prepare. After that, We will head towards Solomon's Singularity. The Final Singularity, The Grand Temple of Time: Solomon!"

"Don't worry, I'll get everyone ready and save Olga!" Sonic dashing away


Enkidu, Medusa (Lancer), Merlin, Gilgamesh (Caster), Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, Ereshkigal, And Gorgon Have Joined The Resistances


The Beast Will Have To Wait
