BGM-Sonic Adventure 2 OST-It Doesn't Matter (Instrumental)

Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog! We returned to New Vale to liberate it from Apocalypse, and the only way to do that is by finding the last Chaos Emerald that'll teleport us inside his tower. Spider-Man had the final emerald, which made him a target for his mind-controlled girlfriend, Yang, and had his arm broken during their lovers' spat. Luckily, Yang regained enough control to escape and leave us with the emerald. Don't worry, Pete, I promise we'll save her and stop Apocalypse from ruining your lives!

Act 11: The Path to Power

Command Center Platform, New Vale City

BGM-X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse OST- Radar Array Platforms (Action)

At Apocalypse's defense platforms placed along the coast of the city, a Sentinel almost blasts Knuckles into smithereens if the echidna didn't dodge in time. "Hey, what's the big idea?! I thought the Sentinels were supposed to be on our side saving people, not killing us!" Knuckles complained as he angrily destroys the Sentinel.

Knuckles is part of the team as Cyclops and Storm trying to disable the defense platforms so Sentinels could pick up New Vale refugees and take them to safety. Unfortunately, one of Apocalypse's enforcers took control of the Sentinels to turn them against the united heroes. Cyclops is firing his optic blasts at the android responsible for this conversion. A powerful human/Sentinel hybrid that goes by the name, Bastion.

"You can blame Bastion for taking control over them!" Cyclops responds to Knuckles' questions, as he fires more optic blasts that are blocked by Bastion's energy barrier.

"For too long you mutants have taken advantage of humanity's kindness. And for too long I've sat by and done nothing while you've schemed and plotted like cowardly assassins. But my time of silence is over. I must take action and destroy each and every one of your misbegotten kind!" Bastion reflects Cyclops' attacks right back at him, knocking him down while commanding his Sentinels to be a little more brutal against the likes of Knuckles, Storm, Sabretooth, and Rotor.

"That's quite enough, Bastion!" Rogue delivers a furious tackle onto the android while he wasn't looking and kicks him across the platform.

"AAAAH! Do not speak mutant! The mere sound of your voice causes me pain!" Bastion shakes off his little headache before blasting Rogue away.

"That's it! The pain you feel must be caused by some type of mind control. I'll bet Eggman has somehow affected you." Storm claims that he's under Eggman's control while she lightning-blasts a Sentinel to the ocean.

"I'm not under any type of control! I know what I'm doing! Mutants are an aberration. A mistake of nature. I've made it my life's work to correct this mistake and erase it forever. Your pestilence has threatened to choke off the flower of mankind long enough! With my help, humanity will once again flourish and grow on the broken husks of your bodies." Bastion retorts, refusing to believe he is under mind control, which he is.

"But, Bastion, we're here to help save humans!" Cyclops told him as he stands from the earlier attack.

"I'll hear no more of your lies, mutant. Let us end this battle so that I can put an end to you." Bastion scowled.

"Fine by me. I'm turnin' ya into scrap!" Rogue responds as she swiftly knocks away the cyborg with a dive kick.

Just as Cyclops finished helping Knuckles destroy another Sentinel, the one-eyed leader received an important call from Sonic, 'Yo, Cyke, how's it going over there? Did you save the refugees yet?'

"Almost. How 'bout you? Did you find the last Chaos Emerald?" Cyclops asks as he quickly joins the united assault against Bastion.

'Oh yeah! Sally wants us to rendezvous in the sewers near Apocalypse's tower. Hurry up or you'll be left out of the fun.' Sonic jokingly said, confirming his team collected the last Chaos Emerald from Spider-Man earlier.

Scott scoffs with a smile to his carefree attitude, "Don't worry, we'll be there." Knuckles throw a large piece of a Sentinel at Bastion's shield, hoping to disrupt it. With a powerful optic blast from Cyclops, and then a powerful lightning strike from Storm, the cyborg's shield was down, much to his shock. This left him open to a series of scratches from Sabretooth before ending with a double scratch that forms an X, launching him towards Rogue, who double axe handles him near the ocean.

"He's all yours, Rote!" Rogue shouted.

Spotting Bastion coming while underwater, Rotor spins around rapidly with his fists out, jumping out of the ocean while enveloped in a watery veil to deliver a powerful and fast punch at the falling Bastion back to the platform, shutting down his circuitry and his control over the Sentinels.

BGM End

'Good job.' Nicole happily informs the team of their success. 'I just received word from SHIELD that the airlift was a complete success. All the refugees were saved. None of it would have happened if you hadn't made the way safe for the Sentinels.' She said.

"We start off workin' with the Brotherhood and now we're helpin' Sentinels. Next, Senator Kelly will be invitin' us to lunch." Rogue joked.

"Yeah, that'll be the day." Cyclops quipped. "At least we're finished on the platforms. Let's rendezvous with everyone else. It's time we take the fight to Apocalypse." He stated, as it's time to head to his main base and liberate New Vale City from his corrupted control.

Later at the New Vale Sewers…

BGM-X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse OST-Apocalypse's Tower (Quiet)

"Ugh. Did we really have to meet in the sewers?" Amy complains, as everyone meets up in the underground sewers that's near their destination.

"It's the best way traveling through the city undetected. And we're not going to use Chaos Control at the mansion, otherwise Apocalypse might detect the location of our camp." Sally said, giving a good reason why the heroes are meeting in the sewers.

"Let's get this started, people. The entire city. The entire world is counting on us to defeat Apocalypse. Our mission is clear. A team led by Beast will infiltrate the Tower Control Room to shut down the tower, while Sally's team will free the prisoners held in the Pens before they are subjugated to harmful DNA scans. While all of that is happening, the rest of us will take the fight to Apocalypse and Eggman! Let's not waste any more time." Cyclops preps his friends and allies for what might be the final battle.

Sally turns to Sonic, who is casually playing around with the purple Chaos Emerald he received from Spider-Man. "Sonic, you ready?" She asked him if he's ready to teleport everyone inside Apocalypse's tower.

Sonic tosses the emerald up one more time before swiftly grabbing it with a grin, "You bet! It's time to party with the apocalypse!" He raises the emerald as high as he could into the air and shouts the mystical words that'll bring them to their destination, "Chaos Control!" A powerful light emits from the emerald as the X-Men, the Freedom Fighters, the Brotherhood, and Raven are teleported through time and space into Apocalypse's stronghold.

BGM End

Apocalypse's Tower

BGM-Sonic X OST-Battle Theme

The moment the heroes were teleported inside the gigantic tower, they were immediately surrounded by an army of Infinites and Badniks that fire everything they have upon them. Phoenix and her cosmic powers protects everyone with a fiery telekinetic barrier that blocks the entire onslaught, and once they were finished, she expanded the barrier to explode and wipe out the whole welcoming committee.

"Remember your missions! Go, go!" Cyclops shouts, as everyone rushes through the tower to complete their respective mission.

Fighting and explosions happen throughout the tower as the heroes push through Apocalypse's frightening forces in a final attempt to save the city. Amidst all the fighting, Beast was able to lead Team Rose and Raven into the Tower Control Room to finally shutdown the tower's security.

"Cover me for just a minute as I begin the shutdown of any defensive systems Apocalypse might have!" Beast shouts to his teammates as he starts hacking into the tower's defensives.

"We got you covered, Beast!" Amy replies as she slams her hammer on an Infinite striker. Big wallops on the clone soliders with his massive strength while Cream and Cheese make for the perfect duo to destroy a squadron of Badniks. Raven shows no mercy as she decimates a small army with lightning-fast slashes, just as Beast finished shutting down the tower.

"The defense systems are down! I repeat, the defense systems are down!" Beast tells everyone his group completed their part of the mission.

With Sally's group…

Sally leads a squad consisting of herself, Antoine, Rotor, Wolverine, Magneto, and among others to the Pens where numerous Humans, Faunus, Mobians and Mutants are being held captive against their will. Sally's group breaks into the prison area, where the prisoners are delighted to see the heroes come to their rescue.

"It's the Freedom Fighters!" One civilian shouted in happiness.

"And the X-Men!" Another civilian cried out in joy they are being saved.

Wolverine snarls and roars as he decimates his enemies with a Berserker Barrage while Antoine assists him with his Spin Blade Ball Attack. Sally slashes down several robots before commanding Kitty, "Shadowcat, disable the security system!"

"You got it!" Shadowcat runs towards the terminal that controls the cells, phasing through every gunfire and goon before phasing through the terminal and disabling it. With the security system disabled, the cells are open and dozens of civilians are set free as they are escorted to safety by Nightcrawler.

"I'm tempted to leave the humans to rot in their cells." Magneto coldly said, expressing his hatred for humanity as usual.

"And ah tempted to ask Apocalypse to throw you into a plastic one." Bunnie retorts with a scowl.

With Sonic's group…

Meanwhile, Team Sonic, Cyclops, Psylocke, Storm, Juggernaut, and Pyro are the team assigned to personally drive Apocalypse out of town and rampage through his tower to find him. Sonic boosts alongside Juggernaut ramming through everything with his indestructible head to clear the path for their allies, as they destroy what's left as they continue trashing their way into Eggman's lab. After breaking in, the heroes noticed the Horseman, Rose Reaper standing ominously on top of a teleporter.

"Ruby?" Sonic remarked.

The brainwashed Huntress doesn't say a word. She just disappears as she gets teleported somewhere else in the tower, possibly goading them to a trap. "She went into that teleporter!" Tails pointed out.

"After her, but be ready for anything!" Cyclops orders, sensing a trap as the heroes bravely use the teleporter to follow Ruby.

BGM End

Tower Apex

BGM-X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse OST-Apocalypse's Tower (Action)

Sonic's group have been teleported to the roof of the menacing tower carefully looking at their surroundings for any sign of Ruby or a trap. "This is quite turning into a family reunion, isn't it?" Rose Reaper grabs their attention as she stands on a bigger teleporter in the center of the roof next to her two masters, Eggman and Apocalypse himself.

"Ruby, Eggman, and…" Sonic glared at his enemies.

"Apocalypse." Cyclops scowled at the sight of the X-Men's eternal adversary.

Apocalypse laughs with his arms crossed as he speaks, "Well done, my servant. You have not only brought me the final Chaos Emerald; you have delivered my enemies. This pleases me greatly."

"For that I am proud, my master." Ruby formally responded.

"Sorry, baldy, but you ain't getting your hands on this emerald. Not unless you free our friends from your control." Sonic grins coolly while speaking with Apocalypse.

"Shall I retrieve the emerald?" Ruby asked her master.

"Ignore these fools, Rose Reaper, and leave that task to Eggman's enforcer. Let us leave so we may complete the final leg of our journey." Apocalypse said.

"You imbeciles don't stand a chance against my new-and-improved Metal Sonic, upgraded with Celestial technology! Show them your newfound power and collect our prize!" Eggman commands Metal Sonic, as the villains are teleported to an unknown location and leaves Metal Sonic in their stead. The upgraded Metal Sonic doesn't look that different from before just with neo blue lines streaming down his head and an electrified blue aura surrounding his body.

BGM End

BGM-Sonic Mania OST-Metal Sonic Boss

Sonic's group confronted the newly-upgraded Metal Sonic as he ominously floats in the air, glaring at them silently for their epic showdown. Sonic scoffs at Metal's upgrades while coolly wiping his nose believing he can handle him no problem. "Scrap ya before, Metal, and I'll do it again!" He quickly revs up his speed and circles around his rival, who hasn't bothered making a move yet, "Let's see what you've-!" But suddenly, Metal vanished from sight surprising the blue blur, "Got?" Metal catches the hedgehog by surprise by appearing behind him with a powerful kick that blasts him straight into the air near the sky. Metal chases him and the two rivals duke it out while falling down to the roof. Sonic manages to land a hit, which Metal easily shrugs off and slams him to his own crater on the roof.

Sonic is wounded and tries to get up while Metal Sonic flies down for the finishing blow, but then Knuckles surprises the robot with a powerful punch to the face that sends him flying to Juggernaut. "C'mere, you little-!" The big guy tries to grab Metal but he vanished again with his incredible speed, reappearing to violently tackle Juggernaut down with an electrifying V. Maximum Overdrive Attack. "AAAH! How could this little bot stop the Juggernaut?!" He shouted in pain.

"That's Celestial technology for you. We got to hit him with a powerful attack while his guard is down." Tails suggested a plan of attack.

"Storm, standby while we get him into position!" Cyclops commanded.

While Storm hangs around waiting for the right moment to strike, the others rush to assault the upgraded Super Badnik. Sonic uses his speed to create a strong tornado that temporarily encases Metal, distracting him long enough to receive a double spin attack from Tails and Knuckles that pins him down. Metal unleashes a powerful energy shockwave that blasts away the mobians, and then uses his Black Shield to protect himself from Pyro's flames. "Burn, metalbot!" The pyrokinetic mutant taunted.

Metal Sonic discharges a blast of electricity to knock back Pyro but was too late to defend himself from Cyclops' optic blasts. Psylocke throws an explosive psychic knife into his torso that temporarily stuns him and slashes him several times with her psychic sword. Metal quickly regains his composure and grabs her next slash before blasting her away. The Super Badnik then flies high into the air and creates a large, electrified energy ball that he throws down on the roof, forcing the heroes to take cover before they are caught in the massive explosion.

The heroes survived the explosion with some scratches, but nothing they can't shrug off. "Sonic!" Tails tosses his pal a Power Ring to boost his strength.

"Got it!" Sonic caught it and draws on its power to make himself more powerful and hopefully even the odds against Metal. The hedgehog curls himself into a powerful spinball, just as Metal Sonic noticed his trick and charges up his aura to power up his spinball as well. The two rivals clash their unstoppable Spin Attacks repeatedly, causing much damage and destroying pieces of the roof. Metal once again overpowers Sonic and slams him, and even deflects Knuckles' attempt to punch him again. Luckily, he didn't expect Tails to smack him with his namesakes towards Juggernaut, who finally gets a hit in and unleashes a devastating uppercut that smacks him straight into the air.

"Now, Storm, while he's vulnerable!" Cyclops shouts for her to finish Metal Sonic.

Storm's eyes glow pure white as she calls upon a mighty storm above the tower. The dark clouds open a huge hole in the sky above the stunned Metal Sonic as he's about to face the full force of the elements. "I call upon the power of Nature herself! Unleash your mighty thunderstorm!" Storm unleashes the biggest lightning bolt from the heavens down upon Metal Sonic, violently electrifying him to the point his body starts blowing up and is put in instant shutdown mode.

BGM End

Metal Sonic's devastated body falls dozens of feet down from the air and crashes onto the rooftop in front of his victorious enemies. "And this is why you should never mess with nature." Sonic grins cockily, wagging his finger in front of his defeated double.

Soon after Metal Sonic's defeat, the rest of the united heroes regrouped with Sonic's group on the roof after completing their respective tasks. "Mission accomplished. The tower has been disabled and the prisoners have been freed. We have successfully liberated New Vale City from Apocalypse." Beast informs the team of the good news.

"Where IS Apocalypse? Did you beat him?" Sally asks Sonic.

"Nope. He and Eggman escaped through that teleporter and sic Metal Sonic on us." Sonic points her to the big teleporter on the roof.

"Then what're we standin' around here for? Let's go find the coward and take him down!" Wolverine said, expressing his desire to finish Apocalypse by smashing his fists together.

"Professor, we're headed through that teleporter and chase after Apocalypse." Cyclops speaks to his telepathic teacher.

'Go on. But be sure to contact us once you're through. Me and Sir Charles will meet you in the Sky Patrol.' Xavier replied.

"Your little game against humanity is over, Apocalypse. Wherever you're hiding, we're coming to crash it and end you for good!" Sonic declares, as the united heroes activate the giant teleporter and have it teleport them to Apocalypse's secret base, where the final showdown will be decided.

Apocalypse's Pyramid in Giza, Egyptia

BGM-Sonic Unleashed OST-Project Dark Gaia

Back where it all began. Apocalypse's pyramid. His Egyptian home where Eggman accidently awoken the eternal one from his slumber. In the deepest section of the pyramid, the mad doctor is constructing a large machine that mysteriously resembles the Altar of the Emeralds from Angel Island but looking more futuristic thanks to be crafted with Celestial technology. Six of the seven Chaos Emeralds are already placed on columns surrounding the shrine. Eggman is still working on the central platform within the shrine while be guarded by the Horsemen of Apocalypse.

While she was standing vigilant for any sign of trouble, Shadow Donna was approached by Orbot and Cubot as the former has a new mask for her to replace the one that was broken during her fight with the heroes earlier at London. "Here you go, Shadow Donna. One new mask created from lightweight Adamantium that should be quite unbreakable." Orbot hands her the new mask.

"Thanks." The brainwashed Blake accepts the mask and wastes no time replacing it.

"You're an X-Man, right? Can you tell us what it's like being a X-Man? Eggman never tells us any good bedtime stories." Cubot asked the mind-controlled X-Man.

"As usual." Orbot sassily remarked, which annoys the doctor who can easily hear them nearby.

Being reminded she is an X-Man suddenly gives Blake a strange headache as she tries to fight off the brainwashing, "I…am…WAS…an X-Man." She claims as Apocalypse quickly regains control over her mind, just as the high one suddenly emerges from the shadows confronting his Horsemen and Eggman.

"Having second thoughts, Shadow Donna?" Apocalypse hauntingly asks his Faunus slave.

"No, no. Not at all." Blake replied.

"What of the Nexus, Eggman? How soon until it is functional?" Apocalypse then asks his human lackey. as he ominously walks around him staring at the six Chaos Emeralds on the columns while Eggman continues his work on the shrine.

Eggman explains, "Even without the final Chaos Emerald, synching six emeralds is no small feat. They share a single harmonic frequency, and the energy generated by supercharging them with Celestial technology is FAR greater than had been guessed…perhaps even more than you could cope with."

"YOU underestimate ME, Eggman." Apocalypse retorts with an irritated expression as he approaches the scared doctor. "Once I wield the power of the Seven, I will be invincible. NONE will stand in my way and I will see to it the X-Men, the Freedom Fighters, and the Brotherhood are utterly annihilated! HA HA HA HAAAAAA!" Apocalypse laughed maniacally, as his ultimate plan is to supercharge the Chaos Emeralds with his Nexus to gain the powers of a god that'll bring the entire world to his knees.

KFX Here: We're nearing the end. We're finally learning about Apocalypse's true goal with the Chaos Emeralds: To become invincible and rule the world. Pretty standard stuff, but imagine an extremely powerful guy like Apocalypse with a Super Form? No one would be able to stop him.

Guest (Chapter 12): Anime in general, including Dragon Ball, is WAY too complicated for me to write into this series.

Next time: Final Battle against the Horsemen of Apocalypse!

Question of the Chapter: Any thoughts on Apocalypse's ultimate goal?
