It had been a year since Sonic left and the others had taken care of Eggman.
People finally realized what they had done to her and wished they could stop themselves from doing it.
A few months after Sonic left she was given a coronation and became queen of Mobius.
Knuckles had gone to talk to her, Sonia and Manic but they won't listen.
Aleena had gotten sick and died six months after the coronation surprising everyone.
Sonic had introduced Manic with Rouge and they had gotten along great and started dating three months ago, Sonia was still in love with Knuckles but after what he did to Sonic she hadn't said anything to him.
Sonic had tried to get her to talk to him but won't.
Sonic was dating Silver now and they were happy.
After he found out what happened he wasn't happy and said he'd stick with her. A few months later they started dating.
She was at a meeting right now and felt like something was going to happen. Something bad.
Meanwhile Tails and Knuckles were walking through Village Center together.
"Here's a good one. "A horse walks into a bar. The bartender yells, 'Hey, no animals in here!'"" Knuckles said.
Suddenly he was sent flying by Shadow and crashed through a wall and Tails ran over.
"Knuckles! What happened?!" Tailor asked.
"If I had to guess, I'd say I was knocked into a wall." Knuckles said disoriented.
Suddenly Shadow appeared.
"Correction: Pummeled into a wall." Shadow said.
"Shadow! What are you doing here?" Tails asked.
"Fox hunting." Shadow said and ran at Tails, who flew into the air to avoid him.
Suddenly Shadow appeared behind him, grabbed him by his tails, and flung him away to crash and fall into the well. Then Eggman flew up in his Eggmobile with his Spy Bots.
"I'm gonna need a free camera set up, and a fourth giving me an overhead view. Move, move, move!" he said to his Spy Bots and they got into position, as Knuckles stepped up to take on Shadow.
"Good thing I took that shadow boxing class." Knuckles said and charged Shadow, throwing a punch at him.
Then Shadow disappeared and reappeared to counter-punch. Knuckles kept trying to hit Shadow, but Shadow kept teleporting to dodge and counter. Tails flew up out of the well, armed with his wrench.
"Don't worry, Knux. I got him." Tails said and flew up behind Shadow as Knuckles winded up for another punch.
Then Shadow teleported and Knuckles inadvertently punched Tails, sending him flying to crash into a fence. Knuckles gasped in horror as he realized his mistake and Shadow appeared behind him sending him tumbling with a shoulder ram. Eggman flew down, enjoying the show.
"Oh man, my video game's gonna be so epic!" he said and Shadow landed next to Knuckles.
"That was almost too easy." Shadow said.
"Well, it ain't over yet!" Sticks said.
"Eat hammer, punk!" Amy said and they charge, brandishing their respective weapons.
Sticks got there first and tried to strike, but Shadow sidestepped, caught the other end of her staff, and spun, flinging her away. She landed on her back, rolled through, and skid on her feet. Amy slammed her hammer into the ground to try to throw Shadow off balance, but he leapt into the air to avoid the shaking. Shadow charged Amy and tried a flying kick, but Amy spin away to avoid it.
"That all you got?" Shadow asked.
"We're just getting started!" Amy said.
"Ooh, that would make for some great cutscene dialogue." Eggman said.
Amy and Sticks tried to come at Shadow from both sides, but Shadow teleported again. They stopped short, looking around for his reappearance, but hr reappeared behind them, grabbed them both, leapt into the air, pulling them up with him, then flung them away to a hard landing. Amy barely managed to activate her communicator.
"Sonic... help...!" Amy said and fainted.
Meanwhile Sonic was just finishing the meeting when her communicator went off.
"Sonic… help…!" Amy said and Sonic froze.
"Amy? What's going on?" Sonic asked but got nothing. "Shit." she muttered, took out an emerald and got ready. "Chaos Control!" she said and arrived seeing Knuckles barely standing, Tails struggling to get to his feet but failing, and Sticks trying to brace herself with her staff, also failing.
Sonic glared at Shadow.
"About time you showed up, slowpoke." Shadow said.
"Shadow! What have you done?!" Sonic asked and he charged, shoulder-ramming her and sending her flying, crashing through three palm trees and into a stone wall.
"Say goodnight, blue girl."
Behind them, the rest of Team Sonic managed to pick themselves up, but still badly hurt and looked surprised, worried and happy Sonic came.
"Any last words, Sonic?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah. "Volcano Wonderpants!"" Sonic said standing up.
"What? That doesn't even make any--" he said confused and she took advantage of the brief distraction to drive him back.
They started fighting and running around the village, neither of them gaining a decisive advantage in the fight and Eggman was still watching this.
"I'm gonna look totally awesome when I superimpose my character skin over this." he said and the fight continued.
Sonic rushed Shadow and tried to spin attack him, but he teleported just long enough to avoid it.
"You have the reflexes of a panther." Shadow said.
"Is that an insult? I thought panthers were fast." Sonic said confused.
"Maybe compared to you."
Sonic got an angry expression, and the fight resumed, still indecisive. They went spinning at each other, and proceed to knock each other away. Sonic slammed into the well. Eggman was looking at the footage on a tablet.
"This footage is even better than I imagined! I gotta go home and program it into my game." he said, whistled, and then flew away, with the Spy Bots following.
Sonic regained her feet just in time to be knocked off them again by a charging Shadow. Shadow tried to punch her, but she rolled out of the way and managed to trip him up. They both struggle to gain a dominant position, with Sonic finally managing to pin Shadow down.
"Why are you doing this, Shadow?!" Sonic asked and he forced her off, then stood up.
"You'll pay for the things you said about me." he said and slammed her, sending her crashing through some Meh Burger tables and chairs.
"What the hell are you talking about? I haven't been here in a year!"
"What are you implying?"
"What are you inferring?"
"That Eggman manipulated that footage? To manipulate me?"
"Yeah, he'll do that."
'Footage?' she thought.
"I cannot allow Eggman to make a fool of me. He must pay for this!" he said and ran off.
At Eggman's Lair, Interior.
"Can't wait to see how the battle came out!" Eggman said and the lair suddenly shook violently. "What the...?!" he said and the lair shook again.
On the monitor Shadow was slamming into the door.
"Your new teleportation guard is working wonderfully. But I fear your wall won't hold up much longer." Orbot said.
"Eggman! Come out, you coward!" Shadow said to Eggman on the camera.
"I think it would be best if I gave this Shadow guy some space. Orbot! Cubot! Stall him!" Eggman said, activated his wrist controller and a pneumatic tube closed over him, pulling him upwards.
Just after he left, Shadow smashed through the wall.
"Where is he?" Shadow asked.
"Uh... where is who?" Cubot asked.
On the rooftop Eggman flew off in his Eggmobile. Shortly after, Shadow smashed through the roof and Orbot and Cubot's heads land on the roof as Shadow struck off after Eggman.
"That could have gone better." Orbot said.
Meanwhile Eggman rushed into Mombot's house and over to Morpho.
"Steve, quick! Transform into me!" Eggman said.
"Uh, why?" Morpho asked.
"Long story short, Shadow's gonna tear me limb from limb. He's gonna rip out my spine and play it like a xylophone."
"I didn't know Shadow was so musically inclined. But tell you what, Brobotnik, why don't you use my interdimensional portal creators to hide out in another dimension?"
"Then I can con some other Eggman into being my patsy!" Eggman said and activated one of the devices, opening a portal. "Okay, I'm about to enter a different dimension. Unless you wanna face Shadow, I suggest you try looking a little less... "Eggman."" he said and ran into the portal, which disappeared behind him.
Morpho transformed into a glass unicorn, which Mombot put on a shelf.
At Lord Eggman's Lair, roor Lord Eggman was writing some formulas on a whiteboard when Eggman appeared via a portal, and put the portal generators away.
"If I can manipulate the alpha fields, tweak the gamma receptors, and gird the blender, I can fold space-time and get revenge on that infernal blue hedgehog." Lord Eggman said.
"No need for all that, your Lordship! I know where he is! Nice scar, by the way. Very manly." Eggman said.
"Me?! How did I get here?"
"I came from an alternate dimension where a shapeshifting robot version of my brother from a third dimension gave me this portal gun."
"Simple as that, huh?"
Suddenly Eggman turned blurry.
"Better hurry! Having two of us in the same dimension for too long--" he said.
"--will cause a catastrophic anomaly the likes of which mankind has never seen." they said together.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going, I'm going." Lord Eggman said, took the portal generator, opened a portal, and walks through it while Eggman chuckled as he did.
At Tails' Workshop, interior.
"Oh man. Shadow really mopped the floor with us. I'm gonna be sore for weeks." Tails said.
"I can't feel my everything." Knuckles said pained.
Suddenly a portal opened and Lord Eggman stepped through.
"There you are, you blue beaver! Finally, I can take you on, one-on-one." Lord Eggman said.
""Finally"? We fight all the time!" Sonic said and realized who it was. "Oh, wait, are you that emo Eggman from the alternate dimension?"
"I'm not "emo"! I just don't care for garish colors, okay?" he said and ignited a laser sword.
Sonic spun at him, but eas knocked back by a sword swing.
"Sweet moves, Lord Nosehair." Sonic said and leapt back at him, eventually spindriving him through the wall.
Lord Eggman attacked some more, Sonic barely managing to dodge. One near-miss left a scorch mark on his chest. Another dodge caused his sword to burn through one of the supports of Tails' Workshop. He laughed evilly and raised his sword again, but was suddenly knocked away by Shadow.
"Eggman, you shall perish for tricking me." Shadow said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I didn't trick you! I don't even know who you are!" Lord Eggman said.
"Your elaborate costume doesn't fool me."
"Oh, I get it. The Eggman you're looking for is in another dimension." Lord Eggman said, opened a portal with the Portal Generator, and Shadow walked through.
"I'm going through the portal into the other dimension too. You guys keep an eye on Lord Eggbutt." Sonic said and the rest of Team Sonic nodded and she ran through the portal.
Shadow and Sonic exit the portal into the alternate dimension's version of Hedgehog Village.
"Where's Eggman?" Shadow asked.
"It's a whole different place. Eggman could be anywhere." Sonic said.
'Maybe I should've called Silver.' she thought and a near miss from a laser blast knocked them down.
"Or he could be right there." she said and the source of the laser blast was revealed to be Metal Sonic.
"You know Metal Sonic, right? He's been upgraded with all the video game motion capture data I recorded." Eggman said laughing and Metal Sonic fired another laser blast.
Shadow managed to avoid it, but Sonic, still injured from her last few fights, was knocked to the ground. Metal Sonic punched down at her, but she barely avoided it and managed to stand up again, only to be knocked down by an uppercut from Metal Sonic. Eggman laughed and Shadow attacked Metal Sonic, but couldn't manage to land a hit on him. Metal Sonic grabbed a street sign, whirling it like Sticks' staff. The fight resumed, Metal Sonic eventually knocking Shadow away. Shadow ran back in, joined by Sonic. Metal Sonic managed to knock both of them away with the sign and undeterred, Sonic and Shadow ran in again.
"We have to coordinate a spin attack from opposite sides." Sonic said.
"I take orders from no one." Shadow said and punched her away, then went back after Metal Sonic.
Sonic got back into the fight anyway, but Metal Sonic seemed to have the upper hand against both of them.
Then Eggman pulled a rocket launcher out of his Eggmobile and aimed it at them.
"Take that!" he said and the blast sent all three flying, and also shook the Eggmobile, causing the portal generator to fall out and activate.
Seeing the open portal, Sonic and Shadow managed to tackle Metal Sonic through it and Eggman quickly followed.
At Tails Workshop, exterior Lord Eggman was bound and gagged.
"Struggle all you want, Formalwear Eggman. We've got everything under control." Knuckles said.
Suddenly a portal opened behind them, and Sonic, Shadow, and Metal Sonic crashed through.
"...Except that." Knuckles said.
Then Eggman also exited the portal and the fight continued, going away from Tails' Workshop, through the canyon and to Village Center.
The fight between Sonic, Shadow, and Metal Sonic continued, with the rest of Team Sonic arriving, dragging Lord Eggman. Shadow charged at Metal Sonic, but was blasted into Eggman, both of whom crash into a building. Amy managed to get Tails out of the way of pieces of the building collapsing.
"Injuries or not, we've gotta step up!" Amy said and the rest of Team Sonic jumped into the fray against Metal Sonic.
Sonic knocked Metal Sonic back with a spin attack. Amy tried to hammer Metal Sonic, but it dodged, grabbed a piece of metal, jabbed it into a rock, and now wielding a hammer of its own.
"Hey! Hammers are my thing!" Amy said and charged again, but was knocked back by Metal Sonic hammering the ground.
Metal Sonic threw away the hammer and raised its fists. Tails ran up from behind, Sticks and Knuckles charge from the front. Metal Sonic took all three down with spin attacks, then leapt away. Metal Sonic's right arm was suddenly caught by Sonic's Enerbeam and its left arm was caught by Tails'. It tried to fly up, but it's leg was caught by Knuckles' Enerbeam. Metal Sonic started to charge another blast, aimed at the still downed Amy, but Sticks saw it, and charged in, jabbing her staff into Metal Sonic's power source and shutting it down. Then Team Sonic cheers.
"Look at you celebrating like the game's been won. This is only the beginning... of the end." Shadow said.
"All right. Kinda cryptic, Shadow. You wanna elaborate on that one?" Sonic asked.
"I'm no longer satisfied simply taking vengeance on that lackwit Eggman. I want revenge on this whole pathetic universe. That's why I took those mustached fools to a secret location." he said and Team Sonic saw Lord Eggman was gone.
"With both Eggmen in this dimension, there will be a catastrophic anomaly that will destroy our entire universe!" Tails said.
"Now you're catching on. So long fools... forever." Shadow said and disappeared.
The sky started to cloud over, and a storm started.
"Oh no! The anomaly's already beginning!" Amy said.
"We gotta find those Eggmen, fast!" Sticks said.
"If I can piece Metal Sonic back together, I might be able to use its built-in homing beacon to lead us to Eggman." Tails said.
Sonic: "Great! Tails, you're on that. Everyone else, let's get searching." Sonic said.
Later Sonic searched the lava-filled forest riding Blue Force One, Tails hoisted Metal Sonic up with a chain, Sticks was flying Tails' plane through the storm, Tails was trying to repair Metal Sonic, but an explosion knocked him to the floor. Despite this, he got back up and went back to work. Vector, Orbot and Cubot were searching Village Center, Tails was carefully using a wrench on Metal Sonic, tightening a bolt, Knuckles and Amy were searching underwater and Tails was typing on his laptop.
Outside the lab, the storm was worsening. Inside, Tails was almost done with Metal Sonic.
"Just one last tweak, and Eggman's homing beacon should be activated." Tails said and Metal Sonic reactivated, then flew out through the hole in Tails' wall with Tails trying to follow. "Hey! Wait!" he said and activated his communicator. "Sonic! Metal's beacon is homed in on Eggman, but he's moving too fast! I can't keep up!"
At Seaside Island, Canyon Sonic turned off her communicator and stopped Blue Force One. She looked up, seeing Metal Sonic fly past.
"Thankfully, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog." she said, jumped off Blue Force One and followed Metal Sonic.
As the chase lead through the jungle, Sonic barely avoided being struck by lightning.
Meanwhile Metal Sonic arrived at the cave and Sonic ran past him and found Eggman and Lord Eggman, tied together. She untied them, then used the Portal Generator she picked up earlier to open a portal.
"Lord Eggman! You need to leave our dimension." she said.
"I'll never forget you, friend." Lord Eggman said.
"Yeah, yeah, just get outta here!" Eggman said and Sonic pushed Lord Eggman up to the portal, then booted him through it.
Outside, the sky immediately cleared up and Sonic and Eggman exit the cave.
Back in Village Center, Team Sonic cheered and high fived one another.
Back at the cave, Shadow appeared.
"I'm not thrilled with the results, but I must admit I'm impressed with how you saved the universe. I'll be back, Sonic. But next time, on my terms." Shadow said and vanished.
"Well, I almost caused the end of the world, but it was all worth it. I got great yolk-capture footage for my video game." Eggman said.
"About that... During the catastrophic anomaly, your evil lair was struck by lightning. All of your mo-cap files were destroyed." Orbot said.
"Well, there's always next time."
Suddenly he was hit by a laser and turned to see Sonic with her guitar.
"Who said there's gonna be a next time?" Sonic asked glaring at him.
"Uhhh." he said and was hit again and sent flying.
People were watching and Knuckles knew what Sonic was going to do.
"I've had it with you! Since I was five years old I've been dealing with you and since we were born you've been destroying me! It's time to end you!" Sonic said, turned into Super Sonic and got him in the chest with a Chaos Blast.
She did it multiple times and finally he was gone.
Then she took a deep breath and looked at everyone.
"There. Now you can have a nice life." she said.
Suddenly a light came and Silver jumped.
"Sonic!" Silver said.
"Silver? What are you doing here?" Super Sonic asked.
"I was at the castle with Manic when he told me what happened. Are you okay?" he asked and looked at her and she smiled.
"I'm fine." she said and he nodded then noticed the rest of the team.
"Oh, hey Knuckles, Tails, Amy."
"Silver?" Tails said. "What are you doing here?"
"Me and Silver are dating and he's very protective." Super Sonic said shocking everyone while Silver turned a little red.
"I already lost Blaze, I can't lose you too." Silver said and she smiled and gave him a kiss.
"I'm right here. Eggman is dead and now we can go back to the castle and live the rest of our lives together safe." she said and he nodded.
"OK."
She smiled, nodded and looked at the others.
"Now, I'm going home." she said and they nodded, took Silver's hand and Chaos Controlled home.
