A speed boat can be seen at the dock of Soleanna. As the gang approached the town, they saw King Infinite board the boat. He looked upset. The gang sneaked onto the boat as it drove away. It was heading away from the island and into the ocean. Infinite was at the wheel, alone with his thoughts. He lost his crew to the resistance many years ago. Then he got some new friends. Now those friends are gone. He knew that his time would come soon. He was going to die and finally he'll be at peace. But for now, he will carry this guilt for his entire reign. Infinite sighed.
Sonic saw a vision of someone falling off the boat and the ocean turned red with blood. He shook off his thoughts.
Infinite put the boat on autopilot and walked out of the dock. Sonic and the gang gasp.
Infinite stood in front of the deck. He was devastated due to losing his friends to Death. He knew that he was next. However, he didn't know that Jet survived his death but he knew that his turn was up. He was stuck with two choices: stay alive and get killed later in his reign. Or die right now and get it over with. He didn't care about who would die after him. Especially not with all this guilt of losing his friends. Sitting near the wheel was a stress ball. As the boat drove, the ball rolled off the deck and to where Infinite was standing.
Sonic and the others approached Infinite. He turned to face them.
"What are you guys doing here?" Infinite asked.
"We came to warn you about your death," Jet said.
"Jet? How are you alive?" Infinite asked.
" Wave saved me when I was about to get hit by a train. She died in the process and Death skipped over me." Jet said. "Now it's your turn to die."
"You say that like I'm scared" Infinite said. "I'm not afraid. Death can come take me for all I care. I lost everything. Including my friends. Come at me Death. Come at me" He took a step back and stepped on a stress ball. He tripped and fell over. The ball flew across the air. Sonic and the gang ducked but Shadow wasn't so lucky as he got a stress ball to the face. Infinite fell off the railing and down to the bottom deck. The fall alone could've killed him but miraculously, Infinite stands up.
"I'm alive?" Infinite asked.
"Wait, then that means.." Tails said. They suddenly hear something splash into the water, followed by the sound of the boat crushing something. The water turned an eerie red.
"SHADOW" Sonic cried out. A body flies out of the water and lands near everyone's feet. The mangled body of Shadow. And in his mouth, a stress ball. Everyone screamed. Sonic begins to cry out for his dead boyfriend.
Time skips to the very next day, again with more alka sensors because what else do you drink after witnessing a death?
With Jet and Infinite still alive, the cast discussed how they were going to save Rouge and Omega from being the next person on the deathbed.
"In my vision, Omega was the one with killed Shadow and Rouge before getting himself killed. But Shadow sacrificed himself to save Infinite who Death skipped over and immediately killed Shadow. Because the stress ball hit Shadow and caused him to fall overboard, it's like Death is using a Rube Goldberg method. Everything is connected somehow. We need to be aware of our surroundings" Sonic said. Saying this, he waved his hand around, knocking over his glass of alka sensor. The liquid spilled on the ground. In Sonic's kitchen, the knife board was slowly being pushed at the edge of the table by Death's wind.
"Sonic's right. We have to check for and Rube Goldbergs. But first I'm going to get more water" Rouge said, walking to the kitchen. Sonic noticed the liquid of the floor.
"WAIT ROUGE LOOK OUT" Sonic yelled. Rouge slips and falls onto the ground. The force of the fall caused the knife board to fall, on top of Rouge. She screamed before a knife lodged into a chest, silencing her. Everyone screamed again. Jet threw up.
