Chapter 111: Home
"Leaving so soon?" Eggman said as the dome came down. "You haven't even visited the gift shop yet."
"I'm not the type to buy cheap stuff that'll sit on my shelf for months," Sonic said.
"Then let me at least stamp you hand so you can come back," Eggman said clenching his fist.
Sonic sighed and said, "You know this whole amusement park pun thing was lame the first time. Just saying you're going to destroy us would've been a lot better from the beginning."
After Eggman grumbled he said, "No matter. I will destroy you and I will be invincible!"
"Oh, yeah? With what?" Sonic said sarcastically.
"This robot is powered by the little friends you tried to save earlier," Eggman said as the robot he sat in roared menacingly. "Now considering how much power you experienced with just one Wisp, you can imagine how powerful this robot truly is."
"What's the plan, Sonic?" Tails asked, standing close to the doors of the space elevator which were open.
Sonic paused and then he said, "Take care of Sonny's friend for me."
In an instant, Sonic pushed Tails into the space elevator which closed shut and then Sonic pressed the button for it to go down to Mobius.
"See you on the ground, buddy!" Sonic said as the space elevator sped down toward the planet below. Then he turned to Eggman and said, "As for you, Eggman, you're going down!"
"Bring it on, hedgehog boy!" Eggman retorted.
As Eggman piloted the robot onto the ring that surrounded the space elevator track, Sonic followed. At first, Eggman tried shooting lasers at Sonic while occasionally throwing purple blocks in his path, but Sonic dodged all of them and rammed into the robot's engines with his Homing Attack. This in turn caused the robot's serpentine heads to cough up a couple of normal Wisps each time Sonic hit it. When this happened, the robot's Wisp-based powers dwindled. So Sonic used the Wisps he gained to deal heavier damage to the robot until every single type of Wisp was flying alongside him including the purple one.
While Eggman's robot floundered along the path barely able to stay afloat, the seven Wisps flew in front of Sonic forming a rainbow-colored window that showed the dome with Eggman's nervous face inside it. Smirking, Sonic curled up into a ball and using the energy boost that the Wisps' energy gave him he rammed right into the dome which caused it to crack and Eggman to lose control of his own robot which crashed onto the ring's track and fell apart into several broken pieces. Then just when Sonic was about to run towards Eggman inside his Egg Mobile, a large purple sphere appeared above them which started sucking everything into it including the Tropical Resort, the Wisp Planets, and even the upper part of the space elevator track.
"Uh oh, not this again," Sonic muttered and took off down the space elevator toward Mobius.
He managed to dodge all the incoming pieces of the track that were flying up toward the purple sphere as it grew bigger each second, and even jumped over the large gaping holes in the track. However, an explosion behind Sonic caused him to lose his footing and he found himself flying toward the purple sphere when a piece of debris hit his head and knocked him out cold.

When Sonny came to, he found himself being carried down to Mobius by the seven Wisps who aided Sonic during his battle with Eggman. The combined energy they let off created a multi-colored bubble around Sonny that protected him from the vacuum of space which quickly went away as the Wisps entered Mobius' atmosphere and came in a grassy field that was several miles away from the space elevator which collapsed as dozens of civilians were being escorted away by G. U. N. soldiers. Meanwhile, Sonny was lowered down by the Wisps as he unsteadily touched the ground and fell to his knees.
"Sonny!" Miles said running towards him. "What happened? Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Sonny said as he shakily stood up causing Miles to help him to his feet. "Sonic beat Eggman with help from these Wisps, and then this purple sphere appeared causing everything to get sucked into it."
"Sounds like a black-hole," Miles said looking at the seven Wisps as they flew up toward a bright spherical light that was partially visible in the sky above. "I hope it doesn't absorb Mobius."
As Sonny watched the debris of the space elevator raining down from space, he noticed flashes of red, pink, white, purple, and black followed by the debris being completely destroyed.
"I'm guessing that's Team Dark and Neo at work," Sonny said wearily.
"Most likely," Miles said. "Once the satellites were placed into orbit, I imagine G. U. N. was able to see what was going on and responded to it immediately by sending soldiers to rescue the civilians from being hit by the falling debris while its agents are busy preventing the debris from harming the civilians."
"Makes sense." Then Sonny saw a blue light fly down from the sphere in the sky and it was none other than Yacker.
"Hey, where have you been?" Miles said gladly and took out his PAD as Yacker started talking.
"What's he saying?" Sonny asked.
"He says that he's sorry for leaving us and thanks us for saving his race once more," Miles replied.
"Well, all is forgiven and Sonic's the real hero he should be thanking, not me," Sonny said.
Yacker shook his head and made several gestures.
"Yacker disagrees," Miles said and smiled as he read the incoming numbers on his PAD. "Since we were willing to risk our lives to save his kind, he considers us to be heroes too."
"Suits me fine," Sonny smirked and noticed Yacker's eye look wearisome as he made more noises. "What is he saying now, Miles?"
"He's saying he has to get going as the black-hole is taking his race and their planets back to their original place in the galaxy, and wishes us good luck on our future adventures," Miles said as his eyes started to get teary.
"Oh, well it was fun while it lasted," Sonny said and jumped up giving Yacker a high five in the process. "See you around!"
"Have a safe trip!" Miles said as he gave Yacker a high five as well.
Then Yacker flew around their heads before taking off into the sky where the sphere of light blinked for a second and then vanished.
