Sonic/Grand Order (Part 1)
*?*
"O, king. My king. Our temple is being invaded. That Rodent from another world came prepared and is causing this much Chaos. How can such a Rodent bypass such curses placed on him and still conquer us? We need to find a countermeasure immediately. At this rate, the throne's protection will be lost. The work of the king must be done in silence. However, we cannot hold back Rodent and his Heroic Spirits. My king. Allow us the use of the Third Noble Phantasm." Demon God Bael said
"It seems I completely underestimated that Rodent from the last time I met him. Now he's here to finish me off. *Makes A Fist And Slams It On The Hand Rest Of His Throne* That annoying bastard has done enough to piss me off! Heroic Spirits don't matter to me anymore. I now want to challenge that Rodent myself! Just him and I, a battle to the death. If he claims that he's defeated Gods before, I'll like to see it myself! You and others deal with his weak Heroic Spirits. I'll take care of that, Rodent." Solomon replied
"My King, do you understand who you are facing? This creature doesn't exist in this realm. None of us don't know where he came from and what power he possesses. All we can do is push him back like the past several hours." Demon God Bael said
"And you call yourselves the 72 Demon Gods and still can't defeat a Rodent, even when he is down? How pathetic." Solomon replied
*With Sonic And Mash*
After several hours of fighting nonstop, the 72 Demon Gods, Sonic and Mash, finally arrive at the throne to face off Solomon.
"So this is it, huh? Heh, it's going to be quite the reunion to see Solomon again." Sonic said
"Sonic, I don't know what else to tell you, but please! Please win this for Chaldea and Humanity! You fought your way to get to this point. Please don't fall here." Olga begged
"Trust me, Olga. This Solomon person is going down one way or another. Trust me. I got this." Sonic replied
"Before you go. I want to ask Romani something. The one who carried out the Incineration of Humanity, the one who waits at the temple as the Mage King Solomon. Is he real, or is he fake? Is he a Heroic Spirit, or is he something else?" Da Vinci asks
"Do you know what we are about to face?" Olga said
"Fine, I'll tell you. That Solomon is not an imposter. That fact became undeniable when we made contact with this Temple of Time. No one besides Solomon can control King Solomon's Magical Circuit. This means the possibility of a third person using his name has been eliminated. There's still the possibility of someone controlling him. Or else." Romani said
"Someone is controlling this guy? Seems familiar to me when I was being controlled by the Embodiment of Subspace a while ago." Sonic commented
"This will be the last transmission from Chaldea. Or last conversation. Mash. Do you have any regrets? Is this the outcome you hoped for?" Romani asks
"I have no regrets, even to the very end. I didn't come all of the ways here for nothing. All thanks to my best friend, Sonic the Hedgehog. Thank you, Docter, Directier, and Da Vinci." Mash replied
"Mash, I'll never forget you. You were one of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Please show me how much you have truly grown throughout the year. Sonic, please take good care of her." Olga said
"Don't worry. I'll always be on her side. No matter what." Sonic replied
"This is goodbye, Sonic. Please win this for everyone in this realm. The world is relying on you!" Romani said
Moments later, Sonic grabs onto Mash's throne as the two enter inside the throne, on their way towards Solomon's Throne using Sonic's speed.
*Solomon's Throne*
Eventually, Sonic and Mash arrive at Solomon's Throne, where Solomon notices the Blue Blur again and with a smile on his face.
"Fou!"
"Fou, when did you get here!? We left you at Chaldea for this mission!" Mash said
"Fou. Foufou. Us! (Sonic, don't think about me being here. I'm just here to see what happens.)." Fou said
"Glad you have VIP tickets to see the action!*Look's Up* Well, well, if it isn't my good buddy Solomon here. You look ugly as the last time we met before. But don't worry, after I give you a good Spin Dash at your face, you'll look better than before." Sonic said
"To think that a Rodent, slowed down by curses. He silences each section with his Heroic Spirits. Coming from another world has finally arrived. I completely underestimated you, Sonic The Hedgehog." Solomon said
"H.A.! No matter how many curses you place on me. That won't be enough to stop me from running and fighting back at all! That was nothing to me!" Sonic replied
"Is that so? Even your confidence grows more each time you speak. Only that fuels fury into me. Don't get me wrong, I hate humans, but I hate you even more, Rodent from another world. If I only knew where your own home was at, I would've incinerated it by now." Solomon said
"*Joking Around* You hate me a lot more? Oh, I'm flattered. You're not the only one who hates someone like me. You and Eggman have stuff in common when it comes to me. I'll tell you what. I'll make a reservation for you two when you are free." Sonic replied
"Senpai isn't afraid of Solomon at all. And Solomon hates that. He knows that Sonic likes confrontations like these and annoys the enemy." Mash thought
"Even keeping you away for so long. You still arrived when we finished the Virtual First Noble Phantasm, "Ars Nova." Solomon said
"First Noble Phantasm? Then that means?" Mash asks
"That is correct. I have three Noble Phantasms. The Virtual First Noble Phantasm just needs a matter of minutes to mature. The second Noble Phantasm is this space itself. "The Time of Coronation Hath Come, I Am the Beginning of Eternity: Ars Paulina." In other words, my Reality Marble, Solomon's Grand Temple of Time. A void space workshop, outside physical reality and isolated from time." Solomon said
"The second Noble Phantasm was this domain itself. Then the Third Noble Phantasm you mentioned must be the bands of light. According to Chaldea's measurements, the energy it would take to exceed the bands of light doesn't exist on Earth. That's what scorched the entire Earth, ended the human race, and incinerated humanity," Mash said
"It is true that these bands of light could burn the outer layer of this planet. But how would I benefit from that? Why do you think I would have gone to the trouble of incinerating your lot? You have it backward, Mash. Unfortunately, an energy source exceeding the bands of light doesn't exist on Earth. Hahahahahaha! Fool, that's exactly right! Because it is made of the people of this realm! The bands of light are made up of all the energy gathered from Earth! By destroying the Foundation of Humanity and reducing the strength of human history to zero, our gaze can set fire to all. Flames will engulf the surface, burn all life and civilization, and finally be extracted as residual Spiritrons. After all, there's only one Earth. The amount of heat obtained upon burning it doesn't amount to much. I made the Singularities, fractured history, and cut the connection between what came before and what followed! Reaching from the present into the past, I was able to wring out nearly limitless energy! The bands of light unify all of that. The heat you looked upon was this planet's passion." Solomon said
"Your aim wasn't to destroy the human race. It was just to use Humankind as fuel." Mash said
"We have no faith in you. If no one is going to achieve it, then I will. If no one can conquer death, then I will. And you will die miserably! And you, Sonic The Hedgehog! You will experience the most inducing pain and suffering anyone in this realm has ever experienced. You will never get to see your friends back home! Never, you will die as the weak Rodent you are! I cut off your Chaos Energy from your Servants. If you die, it's all over! All your so-called friends will vanish forever! Do you understand? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You will be regarded as the worst Master ever to roam this realm! Come, Sonic The Hedgehog! Hero! Face me!" Solomon shouted
"No! Senpai will show you he can stand up to someone like you! No matter how powerful you are. Senpai will continue to fight until you are defeated! He taught me to continue the fight, even when things seem impossible!" Mash shouted
"Heck yea! That's what I'm talking about, Mash! Are you ready to take down this guy?" Sonic said
"I'll crush Solomon with you, Senpai! Let's do this!" Mash replied
Sonic begins to run up the Stairs towards Solomon as he fires several windy shockwaves against him, but Sonic quickly dodges them by Quick-Stepping and running even faster. Mash also dodges the shockwaves, jumping over them and on the pillars surrounding the throne. A few seconds later, Sonic jumps right at Solomon, curls into a ball, and homing attacks him, but a force field around Solomon blocks Sonic's attack and pushes him back. Solomon then fires another shockwave towards Sonic, but he quickly moves out of the way and continues to Homing Attack around Solomon's force field to break it from him. Solomon fires even more shockwaves toward Sonic but misses all of them due to Sonic's dodging speed. As he continues Homing Attacking the Shield, the Drill Wisp appears and transforms Sonic into the Drill Wisp and forcefully drills himself towards the Force Field to destroy it. As he was preparing the force field, Mash arrived soon after and slammed her shield down onto the force field soon after. They managed to break it and stab Solomon in the chest while bleeding.
"You showed confidence, Rodent. But it isn't over yet. It's time for the main event! That Blow and drill reached the core of this body!" Solomon said
"I'm getting an abnormal reading on King Solomon's Spirit Origin! The rings! Only the one on his left middle finger is different...? True, that's the only one that doesn't match the rest of the rings!" Mash said
"What's going on?! What's happening?" Sonic looking around
"*Pillars Appear Around Sonic And Mash As The Throne Changes* I praise you for putting up a good fight and grant you the honor of witnessing my proper form! Sonic The Hedgehog, unleash your good form if you wish to defeat me! Show me! Hero from an unknown world! I am the King of Mages' avatar and the system he created. I am the first familiar he created that became the foundation for your mages. I ruled a nation with Solomon and was left behind as a primordial curse when he died. I used Solomon's body as a nest and achieved incarnation through a summoning spell.*Transform Into Something Much More Sinister* Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Sonic watches as Solomon transforms into something more potent and deadlier, realizing that he has just woken a beast he had never seen before. Sonic stood his ground as he got into a fighting stance and was ready to fight whoever this Beast was.
"Well, I will rid myself of the title "King of Mages." There's no more need for deception. I had no name, but if you want to call me something, call me this: I am the one who shall attain true wisdom, as was desired of me. I am the one who shall devour you to reach a new height and create a new planet. I am the one who shall gather 72 curses and set flame to all of history. I am the Ritual for the Incineration of Humanity. I am Goetia, the King of Demon Gods." Goetia said
"Goetia..." Sonic whispers
"Goetia, the name of the 72 Demon Gods combined. This Spirit Origin signature I'm seeing doesn't even belong to a Caster anymore. That is no longer King Solomon's body. It's one of the seven Evils of Humanity: Beast I, a Beast of Disaster." Mash said
"Yea, I can see he's a beast, alright. An ugly beast that will soon regret meeting a Hedgehog like me." Sonic replied
"Thanks to your incompetence, Sonic The Hedgehog. You revealed who I was. I am a higher-dimension being that no longer requires flesh and blood. I was granted more extraordinary powers than humans and once lived to serve them. We have seen enough and will see no more. Even the gods can meet no end on this planet except through annihilation. This planet was a mistake. It was madness, predicated on life with a fixed duration. I shall go 4.6 billion years into the past and bear witness to the moment when this celestial body was born. I shall absorb all its energy. And make me into a new planet to remake this world. I shall rewrite the book of Genesis and create a world without the concept of death. That shall be our grand deed. We did not destroy humanity out of Hatred. We needed the energy to venture into the past. We needed it to perform the infinite, instantaneous tuning necessary to control the birth of a planet. And so, by turning all of human history from 1000 B.C. to A.D. 2018 into magical energy, we would have acquired the necessary amount to journey to the beginning of this planet. Humans are just fuel for a propulsion device that could launch us to the very beginning." Goetia said
"You sound exactly like Egghead when creating his dumb Eggman land plan. What you are doing is far more terrible than you think. You are hurting more than helping others. I saw it with my own eyes in the past year I was here. All of this is terrible! And that is why I am here to stop you, Eye Ball Belly!" Sonic replied
"No, Senpai. I see now. I was born for this exact moment." Mash said
"*Looks At Mash* Mash, what are you talking about? Snap out of it. All of this is a lie!" Sonic said
"Now, Sonic The Hedgehog. You are the biggest threat to all of Humankind. We had enough of you for ruining our plans for a more fantastic and better future where no sadness and pain ever existed. It's time to vanish out of existence!" Goetia said
"Quite the talk for someone like you who's just standing there and doing nothing but forming such a boring speech to listen. You may have put a curse on me, but even that didn't stop me! Don't worry. I'll get the fun started for you. They don't call me Sonic for nothing!" Sonic replied
"We need to defeat him somehow before he uses his Noble Phantasm! Senpai, let's do this!" Mash shouted
Sonic then dashes toward Goetia and performs a backward roundhouse kick towards Goetia but is blocked by his Arm. Goetia then grabs Sonic's leg and throws him at a pillar, hitting it and falling soon after. Sonic quickly gets back up as he dashes toward Goetia, curls into a ball, and performs multiple Homing attacks around Goetia, but they do not affect him. Goetia punches Sonic and sends him flying towards the throne, hitting it and falling face-first onto the ground. Goetia then lunges toward Mash and unleashes a series of punches towards her, but Mash blocks the attacks with her but is being pushed back with each point. Goetia then throws another punch at Mash and sends her flying around a few feet away, rolling on the ground and slowly getting back up. Goetia then fires several projectiles at Mash, but Sonic grabs her as he runs, dodges the shots behind him, and explodes. Goetia then dashes toward Sonic as he punches him directly in the face, sending him flying several feet away and hitting a pillar behind soon after. Sonic then spits out blood as he looks up and notices Goetia in front of him and attempts to throw a punch at him, but Sonic dashes away as Goetia instead punches the pillar behind Sonic. Sonic appears behind Goetia, performs his signature boost move behind him, and skids him a couple of feet away. Sonic then dashes toward Goetia and punches him in the eye on his chest. Still, Goetia grabs' Sonic's Arm and punches Sonic in the stomach, causing him to spit out blood and send him flying straight into the air. Goetia jumps at Sonic and hits him straight down onto the ground, causing a crater underneath Sonic, who was heavily injured from the attacks/ Goetia dives down straight towards Sonic to slam on top of him. Still, Mash blocks Goetia and pushes him away from Sonic and her. Goetia lunges towards Mash as he grabs her shield and punches her in the stomach, sending her flying back several feet. He grabs Sonic soon after and throws him towards Mash, hitting her as the two are lying on the ground, heavily injured and barely causing any damage to Goetia. The two then slowly get back up while Goetia watches them.
"How foolish, Heroes. Your efforts were meaningless to me. You cannot avoid what is to come next. Your failure comes now, Sonic The Hedgehog. This is the end of all life on this Earth." Goetia said
"...Deployment of Goetia's Third Noble Phantasm confirmed. It... It can't be stopped... Can it, Master?" Mash said
"*Heavily Injured* Don't give up on me, bud! We can still beat him if we try harder! W-We need to be more efficient with our attacks than go in!" Sonic replied
"Why must you continue to fight and resist? Can you not understand me? We both know how utterly meaningless life truly is. Humanity is worthless. Why fight for such a world where people would never care for the sacrifices you made for them? We want someone, just a single person, to understand us. We can be completely certain in our plan if we have even that much. Mash Kyrielight is a life made by man and one about to disappear." Goetia asks
"Anything that you say is all lies! None of this isn't a waste of a precious life like mine! For the time I was given to be alive, I've been to experience so many feelings and emotions, met so many great people, and explored many places! That is something that I hold onto myself and never undo!" Mash replied
"Then please listen to me, join us! Join us in rejecting all of human history. Tell us that we are correct. Together, we can get rid of such a place where death exists. With life only, we experience everything that humanity you and I know of has to offer! What is it that you do not understand?!" Goetia said
"What you just said. That's right. You've been asking me the same thing all along... It's true that if death is inevitable, then life is meaningless. I cannot deny that. But if it wasn't for death, can we call us people alive? Without end, can we understand what life is about? My time on a peaceful planet may be over, but I don't regret everything I went through and experienced! Because of the life I was given, I truly understood what it means to be alive! But most importantly... It was because of this one life beside me who I can for. Someone who smiles enjoys life and protects. Never would I ever take his life for granted, knowing I would meet my hero like Sonic." Mash replied
"I'm glad I got to meet you and spend time with you as Mash. Let's go, partner, let's show this freak what happens when he messes with partners like us!" Sonic replied
"Such a shame. Then burn to ash together, along with this era. Third Noble Phantasm deployment complete. I shall herald the end of humanity with the fire that scorches the world. Farewell Sonic The Hedgehog. Farewell, Mash journey ends here!" Goetia shouted
"Don't you dare hurt my friend! Mash Kyrielight, engaging the enemy! Is far from over, Master! I'll raise my shield for you like I always have! *Runs Off To Face Goetia*" Mash said
"*Notices Mash Running Without* W-Wait! Mash!" Sonic shouted
"Let me show you the end of human history and your journey. Deploying Third Noble Phantasm. "The Time of birth hald come. I am the remedy of eternity." Now born like the garbage you are! ARS ALMADEL SALOMONIS!" Goetia shouted
"That which heals all wounds and grudges, our glorious homeland. Manifest yourself, LORD CAMELOT! *Slams Shield Down, Creating A Massive Barrier, Blocking Goetia's Noble Phantasm* AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Mash cried
"MASH! *Rushes After Mash* WAIT, MASH! I'M COMING!" Sonic shouted
"*Stop Sonic From Getting Closer* STOP SONIC! *Pushing The Blast With All Her Strength* Sonic, it's going to be okay! Fight back against him! Just like you fought throughout your journey! I'll still cherish the day you saved me in the command room and gave me purpose... *Look's Back At Sonic With A Smile And Tears Rolling Down Her Face* Now, it's my chance to pay you for everything you did..." Mash said
"What are you talking about, Mash?! You never had to pay me back at all! Come on, let's work together like we always have!" Sonic replied
"Even though you helped me, I still couldn't keep up with you... But don't worry. In the end, I was still able to be helpful to you, Sonic... Thank you... Thank you so much for being m first true friend. I'll never forget the memories we made together. I love you... Sonic. *Get's Engulfed By The Light Of Gioetia's Noble Phantasm*" Mash saying goodbye
"MAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sonic cried out
Sonic stops in his track and notices that Mash is gone, and her shield is the only thing left behind. Sonic stares with his eyes wide and mouth open, speechless as tears roll down his eyes.
"*Drops To His Knees, Tears Dropping Onto The Ground And Slams The Ground In A Fit Of Rage* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sonic cried out
"A genuine pity... She chose to give up her life to a Blue rodent. Such a shamHatredetia said
"*Looks At Up At Goetia With An Angry Expression* YOU TOOK WHAT I CARED THE MOST FOR! DAMN YOU! DAMN IT ALL! DAMN YOU GOETIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *A Large Dark Aura Engulfs Sonic, Ground Shaking Violently With The Pupils In His Eyes Vanishing* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sonic cried
The Servants of each throne heard the cries of their Master, watching the Black Aura in the sky. Shock by this sudden and unknown feeling of Hatred and sorrow. What they once believed was an Innocent life who smiled when in the toughest of situations. He can become a Monster with Hate and has the Bloodlust to kill anything he sees fit. This wasn't the happy Sonic The Hedgehog anymore. This was a Monster now standing in front of a God who killed his true dear friend. The cries of pain were also heard in Chaldea as everyone heard Sonic's cries, and his rage powers him up. Olga, Da Vinci, Romani, And The Staff all heard Sonic's cries. Some were shocked, while others were speechless.
"What the?! *Watching The Dark Aura Explode And Sonic Standing In Front Of Goetia, Fur Completely Black, His Pupils Gone, Eyes Shing Bright, And Command Seal Changing From Red To Black* What is this form?" Goetia confuse
"Shut up, you! You wanted me to show my true form to you?! Well, here you go! You go on and on about this life and death that... Why don't I show you just how death is? That will make you shut up for good about it...!" Dark Sonic said
Dark Sonic vanishes away as Goetia is in a state of shock and trying to find Sonic. Moments later, Dark Sonic appears and throws a powerful punch at Goetia's eye and gets sent back a few feet. Shock by the sudden appearance of Sonic, Dark Sonic appears behind Goetia and kicks him with his feet, droppingArmto doesn't like the ground. Goetia stands back up, charges up a ball of energy, and fires a beam at Dark Sonic, but it is already gone by that point. Dark Sonic appears behind Goetia soon after and unleashes a barrage of powerful punches on him, dealing tons of damage to Goetia before finishing it off by firing a beam towards Goetia and sending him back several feet soon after.
"Impossible! How can such a rodent have this power?!" Goetia said
"*Folds Arm* What's the matter? Can't keep up with a Rodent like me? Aren't you portrayed as some powerful Beast of Humanity? What a joke from you." Dark Sonic replied
Dark Sonic vanishes once again as a dark Tornado builds up around Goetia. Dark Sonic unleashes a barrage of Punches and kicks from different angles, finishing it by throwing a massive punch toward Goetia's face and pushing him back a few feet. Dark Sonic dashes towards Goetia but gets grabbed by Goetia in the leg and tosses him away. He then fires hundred of fast-paced energy projectiles, which Sonic catches himself and dodges all the projectiles. He then charges to his feet, dashes toward Goetia, kicks him in the Gut, and punches His large eye again.
"Let's see how much pain you can take when I rip this stupid, disgusting eye off you! Experience what a normal human feels!" Dark Sonic said
"Fool, no matter how much you fight. You cannot kill me. Your struggles are meaningless to us. *Grabs Sonic And Throws very Far Towards A Pillar And Which He Grabs Himself*" Goetia said
"Does it look like I care if you're immortal? That means I can beat the hell out of you as much as I want to! I'll kill you before you can unleash your stupid Noble Phantasm! *Rushes Towards Goetia At High Speed* HAHAHAHAHA!" Dark Sonic laughed
"*Engulfs His Right Hand With The Dark Color Command Seal With Dark Aura As He Light Speeds Down Towards Goetia* GO TO HELL BIT-" Dark Sonic shouted.
"NO! SONIC! STOP!" Romani shouted
"*Stops Charging TowaHatredetia And Lands Back Onto The Ground* Roman? *Notices The Docter Walking Up To Him* W-What's wrong?" Dark Sonic asks
"Look at you, Sonic. Is this really how you want things to end? Destroying Mash's sacrifice and her memory? I under that you have every right to be upset. But this isn't how you should react. Mash wouldn't want to see her best friend into such a monster." Romani said
"..."
"Please calm down, Sonic. Don't let your anger and Hatred control your body. Don't erase everything you did up to this point. Don't let Mash's death be something that defeats you. Everyone is worried about you. Let go of that anger of yours." Romani said
"Roman... *Drops Down As His Anger Slowly Dies Down And Sadness Washes Over Him* Mash... *Reverts To His Normal State* I failed... Roman... I failed to save my best friend. She trusted me, and yet... I failed..." Sonic said
"You didn't fail her at all. You are the only one that loved and cared about you. Her dearest friend. I know she had no regrets about saving you. Now, you have to go and fight for her. Save the world she lived in. *Removes The Glove Of His Left Hand And Shows Sonic A Ring He Had On* But to make that work, you will need a friend to help you." Romani replied
"*Looks At The Ring And Romani Soon After, Smiling Moments Later* Yeah, you're right, buddy. I can't call myself her best friend if I don't finish this fight." Sonic said
"That's King Solomon's tenth ring. Impossible. You can't be! No, no, no! This is all wrong! It's all wrong! You can't be him!" Goetia shock
"*Smiles* Sonic, allow me to make things easier for you here. More like thanks for helping me get here at the end of humanity. During this entire Grand Order, there was never a time you weren't there to help me. I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to you and Mash, Beastuld reach this moment." Romani thanking Sonic
"Hehe! Anything for you, Romani Archaman." Sonic said
"You as well, Sonic The Hedgehog *An Aura Begins To Flow Around Romani Soon After And Transforms Into Solomon* I am Solomon, King of Mages. Goetia, it is I who shall read you your last rites. Life always comes to an end. Life is a pilgrimage of suffering. But it is not a story of death and separation. Goetia, the embodiment of all my sins, Beast born from my corpse. I shall pass judgment on your evil with my own hands." Solomon replied
"*Slowly Standing Up Next To Solomon* It's been an honor working with you, Solomon," Sonic said
"Hahahahahahahahaha! This was so unexpected, I didn't know how to react at first, but yes, this is so like you! Now that it's over, humanity's greatest fool, this worthless king, makes an appearance! How like Solomon, to come and try to erase his shame! You are no match against us as a mere Heroic Spirit! The only one who could stop me was the real, living you! Only King Solomon and his momentous undertaking could have stopped me! What power do you have after death!? I'll blast that empty head of yours into oblivion!" Goetia said
Goetia lunges toward Solomon and throws punches at him and Sonic but gets blocked by a force field in front of them. Goetia continues to throw punches toward Solomon but keeps getting clogged. Solomon look's back at Sonic and smiles.
"My own Noble Phantasm will destroy me. It will be the end of King Solomon. Goetia, let me teach you the final magecraft. You knew Solomon had one last Noble Phantasm, but you could never learn its True Name. No, it was never possible for you to do so. You possess nine rings, and I possess the tenth. And now, with all the rings here, I can recreate that moment. I can recreate Solomon's true first Noble Phantasm. I can recreate the one "human" heroic legend about me." Solomon said
"*Continues Throwing Punches At Solomon But Were Blocked* Stop. Stop, stop, stop... STOP! These rings, the omnipotent seals, are no longer yours alone!"
"My third Noble Phantasm... The Time of Birth Hath Come, I Am the Remedy of Eternity: Ars Almadel Salomonis. My second Noble Phantasm... The Time of Coronation Hath Come, I Am the Beginning of Eternity: Ars Paulina ...And now, O Heavenly Father, I return your blessings. Omnipotence is too much for humans to handle. My work shall be done within the liD. of humanity. Recreating the first Noble Phantasm... The Time of Parting Hath Come, I Am He Who Surrenders the World: Ars Nova." Solomon said
Sonic and Goetia watch as the ten rings float above Solomon and begin to fire beams at Goetia. The Beams hit Goetia and throw him back to his throne, where he gets stuck and can't move.
"Amazing," Sonic said
"Ohhhhhh... Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...! How could you make such a choice? How could you D.O. such a thing!? Why? Why... Why are you even capable of making that decision? You... the very incarnation of all laziness and compromise in this world! Oh, oooh... Oooooohhh...!" Goetia was shocked.
"Yeah, it's strange. We saw the same things, sat on the same throne, and spent the same time together. But you and Solomon reached completely antithetical conclusions. If there were a difference between us, it would be... Simply put, I didn't have the freedom to get mad. That may be the thing that most separated us."
"What..."
"*Looks At His Command Seal, Feeling Chaos Energy Return To Him* Roman. I mean, Solomon. Is this goodbye?" Sonic asks
"*Begins To Glow* So it seems. I'm afraid this is a bit of a suicide attack. I've entirely cast aside my position as a Heroic Spirit. That doesn't mean I will die. But, from here on, Solomon will disappear from the Throne of Heroes. The agent of God will disappear from human history. The world shall be ruled by the laws of physics, by human knowledge. It was scary and sad, but it was something only I could do. And since that's the case, I have to do it, no matter how painful. Now all the seals are gone. Goetia, your immortality is no more. You were a spell woven to watch over humanity and, in turn, chose to destroy its future. You have turned away from your duty. And now it's time to pay the price." Romani said
"Are you saying I, as an omnipotent collective, have a duty to watch over humanity!? Do you think being forced to watch the lives of humans is an exciting task worthy of me!? I'm sick of it! No matter what happens, they just disappear, and only fear remains! Every human's life is a story of hate and despair! It is a terrible thing to watch!" Goetia said
"That's what you fail to understand, Goetia. Of course, nothing is eternal, and pain awaits us all in the end. But that doesn't make life a story of despair. Not at all. It's a fight agaiHedgehogh and separation in what precious little time one is given. It's a repetition of meeting and parting, despite knowing there's an end. Humans' stories are dazzling, brief journeys, like the twinkling of the stars. They are stories of love and hope." Romani said
"Utter nonsense. Your deception willBeastsway us. I will kill you, kill Sonic and his Heroic Spirits!" Goetia shouted
"Sonic, remember what you said months ago? How what kind of Hedgehog would you be if you abandoned us? Does it still stand?" Romani asks
"Yes, it does! I'll Hedgehog to take care of this creep and save humanity! For you, Olga, Humanity, and most all, Mash!" Sonic replied
"That is what I like to hear. You defeated Solomon, King of Mages. Now you must defeat that Beast calling himself the King of Mages. Thank you for everything, Sonic! Goodbye. *Vanishes Soon After*."
"Goodbye, Romani. I'll never forget you. *Looks Back At Goetia And Slowly Walks Towards Him*."
"Do you believe me you can defeat me, Hedgehog? My immortality may be gone, but I can still destroy you and your Servants!" Goetia said
"Heh! My speed isn't the only thing I have to care for someone like you. *Raises Hand High In The Air As The Chaos Emeralds Begin To Surround Him* Time to down a creep like you, Super Sonic Style!" Sonic said
"Super Sonic? Do you believe those gemstones of yours will save you?"
"You'll regret ever taking me! *Starts Concentrating, Feeling The Energy And Power Of The Emerald Flowing Throughout His Body. Soon A Large Pillar Of Light Erupts From Him*."
