Once Zalgo's conscience came back to reality, he immediately noticed that his Infinity Gauntlet had...badly supported the snap. It was burnt, scorched far from it's original glory, and the Stones were deactivated as well.
"What did you do?...", Meta Knight demanded, coldly.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!", Kris demanded, in a more explict and burning rage. Zalgo didn't give a reply; he just smiled, victoriously, as he used the Space Stone to teleport away, leaving the two swords that stabbed him to fall on the ground.
"Where'd he go?", Susie demanded as she came in with Ralsei, and no reply was given to her.
"Guys...", Sonic said, with a frown, as he held his right arm with alot of pain. "...where'd he go?"
"Sonic?", a voice said.
Sonic, Susie and Ralsei turned around to find Bismuth with a... No, the three almost thought together. Bismuth's right arm was being taken over by a black liquid, and before she could reach even near to Sonic, she stumbled on the ground. Sonic immediately rushed to analyze her; her colors got palid, near shades of black and white, and both her mouth and eyes were pure black, oozing black goo out of them. Sonic glanced at Susie, Ralsei, Kris and Meta Knight, who looked as shocked as him.
On the battlefield, the soldiers chatted with each other, celebrating their victory, only for the corruption to start spreading over them. Globox witness it with shock on his face.
"Up, Ly. Up!", Rayman said as he gently extended a hand to his fairy friend to help her back up. "This is no place to die.", he said, before getting the corruption himself, making Ly fall back again.
"Rayman?!", Ly cried.
"Tasukete, min'na...", Ib pleaded as she began to get corrupted herself.
"No...no. No, no, NO!", Cornet cried as she ran to hug Ib, but she was already taken over by the corruption. "Ib...no!..."
Amy cries over Peridot's gem before realizing, for her horror, that she's getting corrupted. She falls to the ground, dropping Peridot's gem on the grass. Lapis, struggling to get up, falls back to the ground again thanks to losing her consciousness to the corruption.
"Lapis!", Dipper cried as he, Pacifica and Mabel removed their armor's helmets to search for the blue gem, and Ly looked in horror over what was happening. "Lapis, where you at?!"
…
On the Zalgo Dimension, the other members of the Amazons of the Galaxy, along with the Multiverse Initiative, recover themselves from the battle. Steven and Cream help NiGHTS get back to her "feet" (or the closest to the ground she can ever touch), Pucca serves as a support for Kebako, and Liddell and Frisk get back to their feet on their own.
Something's happening..., Pucca thought to herself, right before the corruption caught her.
"...Kebako?", Liddell pitfully asked, as she saw her own arm getting infected. Soon, she got limp and felt to the ground, much to the Amazons of the Galaxy's leader's horror.
"Steady, Kebako.", NiGHTS said, trying to calm down her ally.
"Aw man...", Kebako whispered, sadly, as she soon got taken over by the corruption, much to NiGHTS and Steven's horror.
"NiGHTS...Steven...", the recently re-fused Garnet called both of them, who turned around to face her. "There was no other way.", she finished the sentence in a almost whisper, before getting the corruption as well.
"Oh god...oh god...", Amethyst reacted with fear.
"Ms. NiGHTS? Steven?", Cream caught the attention of both, who turned to face the shaky, scared rabbit girl. "...I-I don't feel so good."
"Y-you're okay...", NiGHTS said, trying to calm her down, but horror took over her face when she realized Cream's fingertips were getting corrupted. Steven probably had the same sensation, as he immediately rushed to hug her.
"She's right...you're ok.", Steven said.
"Guys, it hurts so much!", Cream said, the influence on her mind getting stronger as her arm got further corrupted. "Make it stop!...make it stop, please...please, make it stop...make it stop..."
Steven gently laid down Cream, and NiGHTS flied over to see her on the eyes.
"I'm sorry...", Cream said with a sad smile, as black, tar-like tears ran out of her eyes. Soon, they got black as pitch, and her mouth opened to reveal more goo, and her colors faded off almost entirely.
"He did it...", Frisk stated, with a completely sympathetic tone. She, Steven and NiGHTS laid next to the unconscious bodies of their allies, as NiGHTS suddenly pulled the mask from Reala she kept ever since Zalgo killed him, and inserted it as close to her mouth as she could.
She wanted to apologize to him, and to everybody eles, so much. So, so much. But now, she couldn't.
…
In the Glade of Dreams, some of the only heroes left that weren't corrupted by Zalgo's snap (Sonic the Hedgehog, Meta Knight, the Delta Warriors, the War Trio, Pearl, Star Butterfly and the other half of the Amazons of the Galaxy) were left mourning over their corrupted friends. Sonic just held Peridot's gem in shock. Then, unexpectedly, the bodies began to lift up, magically.
"W-what is this?!", Mabel cried. "Dipper! Sonic! What the heck is going on?!"
The corrupted heroes got teleported in a blue light to...somewhere.
"Oh god...", Sonic said, hopelessy.
Meanwhile, in a farther part of the Zalgo Dimension, in a mysterious glowy castle, Zalgo watched over the castle's balcony the equivalent of the sun on his world rise. He couldn't help but smile, in bittersweet victory.
