An unknown time, Pandemoniun, Hell

The afterlife. Where all the dead go to after dying. The lands of the afterlife can all be divided between paradiso, purgatorio, and inferno. The trinity of realities where souls go to rest and be reincarnated in the future. In the realm of inferno lies the land of Hell. Once upon a time it was ruled by the god of the dead Hades until the era of Ragnarok. Where the old gods died and inferno was taken over by demons whom trap and torture sinners using them to both obtain a consistent energy source and to increase their numbers. As souls that fall into the darkness are transformed into demon recruits.

Pandemonium itself is the capital city of demon kind. A seemingly endless city carved from the walls of a giant chasm that leads to the deepest part of the realm. The frozen lake Cocytus where it is rumored that the demon god dwells. A land of stone, fire, and interconnected bridges that dot the massive fissure hundreds of miles long and deep. And masses of fleeing souls getting brutally beaten, maimed, and mauled by demonic horrors that swoop from above to torture the damned and blow up their stuff.

Among these fleeing souls is a girl with long black hair that has an iron mask bolted onto her. Who is fleeing the destruction on her own. Watching as other souls step over each other in the hopes of escape. As a series of floating speakers blared out propaganda.

"This is a trial brought about by your god. Your rage, pain, despair, and death will be your awakening. And your awakening will transform you into soldiers of god. Your lost stray souls shall be the fuel to empower your god. Submit to your god. Die for you god. Die, Die, Die, Die for Crimslord!"

"There's no God in this world!" The girl repeats as she escapes the hordes. Having survived in hell for ten years now the girl watches as people are once again butchered en masse. With flying demons blowing them up with fireballs. Giant elephantine demons stepping on people. And bestial demons with wolf traits and a preference for torturing children eat them. With one of them chewing on the severed halves of a kid like it was a human chew toy. With blood and guts spilling out of the fiends mouth.

As she flees she is caught by surprise and chucked inside a bunker by another resident of hell. An older man with disheveled white hair and bulging veins in his face. With his left arm being torn off some time ago. "Ver." The girl referred to the man who was at one time knows as Dr. Ver who alongside the girl looks at the ongoing chaos. "Seriously, you would think that a hero would get some respect. But instead its monsters, monsters, and the occasional massive firestorm for variety's sake." Ver remarks as the demons continue their rampage burning everything around them now that they've finished slaughtering everyone they could find. The duo lowered their guard as Ver remarked. "Well this is just great! If I knew this was going to happen, I would have stayed in the upper layers!" The girl reminds Ver that it was his idea to go to Pandemonium because there are rumors that there is a way to escape hell here. Much to the doctor's chagrin. And as he tries to come up with an excuse the shelter is smashed apart by demons and Ver is dragged off where he is mauled to within an inch of his life before being torn in half by two beast demons who grabbed each of Ver's ends and pulled until ripping him apart in a brutal manner. All the while the doctor screamed and begged for mercy. All while the girl watched the horrendous spectacle before the demons turned to her.

"This is a trial brought about by your god. Your rage, pain, despair, and death will be your awakening. And your awakening will transform you into soldiers of god. Your lost stray souls shall be the fuel to empower your god. Submit to your god. Die for you god. Die, Die, Die, Die for Crimslord!"

"In this world there is no god!" The girl thought as she prepared for death. But before the demons could get her. A mysterious blast from the sky kills them. And then more blasts annihilate the demonic horde all across Pandemonium. Until everything is left dead silent. Then the girl looks up and sees a white and gray Waltzer flying above. With shining green angel wings protruding from its back. This prototype waltzer was soaring in the sky like an avenging angel as the girl looks on in awe and worship.

Arc... Gattai... Systems designed to surpass Gods and devils. Originally the Arc system was meant to stand alone as the key to defeating the Great Calamity. But an act of betrayal made this impossible. instead. By combining using forms known as machines multiple drivers could evolve and become a more powerful giant. This traitor due to their actions has had their name stripped from history and speaking about them is a taboo topic around the populace. In order to compensate the art of Gattai was developed.

It is now the year 8932 of the second history. And thanks to this advancements made many years ago. The galaxy is heading towards a period of revolution. A new era has come. And what this new era entails will soon be made clear.

Chapter 29: Never turn back

Jul 11 s.h. 8932, Castle Blade, Planet TK:4201

Inside the mountain range that holds Castle Blade. There are numerous underground modules where Kagemusha performed his experiments. One of these modules is Module Zero. A place where the Reibai experimented in the forbidden art of time travel. All temporal research and their respective technologies were forbidden after the Magical girl war. With the only exceptions being the work performed by the Ichijin clan. Not only because of Project Elpis but as a reward for the family's loyalty and service during and after the war. To the point where the Reibai had a near exclusive monopoly on time travel. With anyone found guilty of doing forbidden research or having natural time manipulation powers being promptly executed by the state even to this day.

Inside the module Kagemusha and Lepard are talking about future plans as the masked man grants the kaijin a special belt buckle with a dragon's head. "This is?" "The Abaddon driver, Dandy. And now i'm entrusting you with it." Dandy looked at the device in awe remarking. "So it's finally time?" "Yes, I need you to watch over the time machine. Once I have completed the Pandora driver I will be traveling back to the past. And that time machine will be the only way to follow me." A doubtful Lepard wonders. "You make it sound like you want that girl to follow you." To which Kagemusha points out that yes he did. "Of course, but if they happen to die by your hands. I wouldn't mind either way. Besides you are the only one I can trust with this. Monika has fallen prey to love. And I don't trust Chikane to hold up her end of the bargain. Knowing her she will use this an excuse to take Himeko and run. So those two are a lost cause."

Dandy looks at the Abaddon driver and muses. "Is that the reason that Gamma was also revived?" Kagemusha remarks. "That and because I needed someone to keep an eye on Madoka." As the two continued discussing strategy it was announced by Gamma that his target has been kidnapped by something with a cycles cult signature. Kagemusha tells the robot to watch from a distance and wait for a chance to rescue the girl. Dandy wonders if it is finally time to which Kagemusha responds. "Indeed, once this over the Calamity will lose all sense of self. And I will be able to restore my full power. The last time was a failure. But I have learned from it. And will not repeat the same mistakes. This time the new world will be remade according to plan!" Kagemusha then leaves the room preparing to return to Mobius for the final battle. But the kaijin general cannot help but worry that things will fall apart at the final hour. After all Sonic the hedgehog IS there after all.

Early morning in the Iron capital

The remnants of GUN sent the completed Atlas force to defeat Shadow Arc. A group of four supplemented by ten of each GUN Belka, GUN Hazred, and GUN Aces all deployed from a trio of Epona class carriers. A carrier class designed to specialize in waltzer transport and supply. With a distinctive Trojan horse horse like profile. As planet based carriers designed and built by GUN they are essentially gigantic heavily armored hovercraft which can carry 16 waltzers in it's hangar bays and little general offensive capability aside from point defenses and missiles which has the nickname of the Mobian White Base since they are not too dissimilar to the famous Earth Federation carrier.

Nanairo Meido was leading the charge with her Atlas painted pink and white. With Carlos Cotorra being on the bridge of one of the three Epona carriers the Thundercat while Oriko and Snively were in the Silverhawk. Nanairo was having a blast pushing the new Waltzer to the limit. Something that was noticed by the Thundecat's bridge crew leading to Carlos embarrassment. Screaming at the young girl to get back in formation.

"Say Carlos." Snively asked. "Are you sure that its a good idea to just throw grunts at the enemy? After all we are dealing with Team Dark and an alien terrorist that has kidnapped and enslaved tens of thousands singlehandedly." Carlos confidently replied. "There's no worry. Whatever forces Hime may have obtained are no match for Nanairo." "You seem quite confident about a young child." Snively bit back. Doubtful of their chances. But Carlos merely stated that even if the Waltzer's were to fail. Nanairo is a ranker. One of the 100 strongest fighters in all of the IFS. While Team Dark are just local forces. They may be powerful for being in the Preservation sector but Capital forces are far superior to anything the cycles cult could hope to have. Snively remarks. "How confident. Too confident." And then quietly sneaks away from the bridge. All the while Carlos thinks to himself. "For better or worse I have to keep confident. I may be marching to my death but I really do have faith in Nanairo, no my daughter."

Carlos remembers the day when Mami Tomoe ordered him to deal with Nanairo. And how he was almost killed if it wasn't because of Mami's sheer power. And even then a small child gave the Strongest magical girl in space a hell of a fight. The one woman army whose mere presence has kept the capital and the government safe for millennia. Only one man had managed to wound her worse. And that was Kagemusha the former number 1. The previous strongest man in space around twenty years ago.

Finally reaching their destination the army surrounds Hime who has stolen the Deathgleamer and Shadow Arc who is still standing silently waiting for orders. As everyone was ready for a standoff raising their weapons at Shadow Arc. Carlos readies his ultimatum while Oriko uses then opportunity to also sneak off from the bridge. "Testing. Testing. One. Two. Three." Carlos remarks as he begins reading the official IFS terms of surrender document in an utterly deadpan tone.. "Hey there you filthy terrorist savage. Get ready to spread your legs as I shove my giant police baton up your stupid injun ass. You will beg for mercy and get none of it. As I blow inside you my hot loads until you are a worn out broken piece of shit and you will be begging to call me master." After several moments of awkward horrified silence from everyone involved. Including Hime who has an expression of sheer disgust after hearing the proclamation. And leading Carlos to react with. "Who the hell wrote this crap?!"

The scene then cuts to Barragan Natch at the time when he was writing the proclamation in a thoughtful and pensive mood before stating. "I wonder if I can get away with saying Ni-"

The scene then shifts back to the current time as Hime says in a tranquil yet furious tone. "Mind slave. Fuck the police." Shadow Arc then pulls out his scythe and goes to town on the waltzers. Blitzing all around the battlefield and ripping apart twenty waltzers in ten seconds. Killing all of the pilots of the Belka and Hazred variants and then going after the Aces who begin firing at Shadow only for him to dodge all of the shots as he systematically destroys the ten Aces. Cutting one of them while using the second as a shield that gets shots to pieces and explodes. Carlos in a panic orders the Epona's to unload at the Deathgleamer firing hundreds of missiles at the ship whose shield just shrugs off everything before counterattacking using its four heavy particle cannons to obliterate the third Epona the Oceanshark causing it to crash with the Silverhawk as the two are bombarded while in an act of desperation. Carlos grabs the controls of the Thundercat and attempts to ran the Deathgleamer as the rest of the crew rushed to save themselves.

Snively meanwhile is trying to escape where he is met by Oriko. Snively merely looks back and states. "So you're running away? Typical politician. Or are you trying to surrender to the aliens." Oriko merely smirks and explains. "The cycles cults is dying." Oriko's statement catches Snively's attention. "Soon the Calamity will be dead. And my revenge on her will be complete." Oriko transforms into her Oracle form revealing the truth to Snively. "You..." "Yes, I was a spy for the aliens all along. I became a respected senator and worked my way up the ranks. And when Barragan killed the senate I knew it was my time to strike. For 20 years i've been a double agent. Helping to revive Homura Akemi so I can kill her myself all for my Oriko's sake." Snively remarks. "So what? If you really are a spy then why don't you get that Hime girl to call off his big black guy from slaughtering the policemen?" After a mutual chuckle followed by an explosion and the announcement that the Oceanshark has been destroyed. Oriko continued her explanation. "No, I have plans. Big plans. To take over the cult and rule over all. I've read up on you Colin. You're a power hungry, backstabbing, megalomaniac. The kind of madman that could find glory and power as part of the space mafia." Snively opens up the escape pod and gives his hand to Oriko remarking. "An ambitious girl. I'm sure we can get along great." Oriko returns to her human form and grabs Snively's hand as the duo escapes leaving the crew of the Silverhawk to their gruesome deaths.

Going to back to Shadow Arc he had finished off the Aces and now the four remaining Atlas were fighting using their beam sabers to clash with Shadow Arc. With the four using a wolf pack formation using hit and fade tactics which combined with the pilots superior skills actually managed to give Shadow Arc a challenge. At least until Shadow Arc split apart and reformed into Omega Arc who took to the skies and overwhelming Nanairo's teammates before shifting into Rogue Arc using her agility to slaughter the trio by striking with her drill in irregular angles while using her sonic disruption to scramble their cameras and sensors. Blinding the group with only Nanairo avoiding and parrying the strikes before finally beginning a one on one duel with them as their weapons clashed.

At that point the Silverhawk and Oceanshark were destroyed as Hime turned her attention to the Thundercat as Carlos engaged in a final stand. Peppering the Deathgleamer with the point defense weapons and actually managing to cause its shielding to drop as the crew trampled each other to escape. With the remaining crew members trying and failing to enter the bridge and execute the spymaster. With the group simply deciding to blow up the door with a pair of panzerfausts when a combination of both Carlos speeding up and an explosion that wrecked the hovercraft's stabilizers caused the rocket wielding duo to trip up, slip, and fall. Firing their rockets at the roof and causing the deck to collapse on itself crushing the group.

It seemed that Carlos had the checkmate with even Hime being panicked. "You wretched monster! I will never allow your kind to rampage again! You damn magical girl! Your era is over and so are you!" "Oh no the Great Hime beaten by a filthy anim?! How ironic! Nah.." As soon as the carrier came into range. Hime reactivated the shields. The whole thing being a bluff to catch the spymaster off guard which worked beautifully as the darkness enhanced shield slices thru the Epona's armor essentially bisecting it in half before creating an explosion that destroyed the rear half and caused the front half to collapse mere inches from the Deathgleamer's bridge. With the ship's main guns doing the rest. Causing an explosion that wipes out what's left as fire and slag rain down in the aftermath. Seemingly killing Carlos as Nanairo suddenly had a psychic flash that made her realize what happened causing the young girl to have a freak out. With Rogue Arc using the distraction to use her drill at full power and punch clean thru the Atlas' chest. Destroying the generator and causing a chain reaction that blows up the last Waltzer with Nanairo being consumed by the blast.

Returning to the Shadow Arc form. Team Dark once again shuts down. Their mind being suppressed by the brainwashing as Hime looks on at the destruction and her victory. Ordering her remaining Skullraisers to gather up the bodies and survivors. As she plans on how to make an example of them.

Jul 12 s.h. 8932, Castle Acorn's throne room

In the castle's throne room, King Nigel is explaining the situation to the surviving members of the Resistance. Not only that Madoka was captured by the Calamity Homun. An ancient alien threat that seems to precede known history. But that Hime was found alongside Shadow Arc in the ruins of the Iron Dominion. As if waiting for the inevitable final confrontation with the heroes.

"Unfortunately." King Nigel continued. "Thanks to the kidnapping of Miss Kaname we will have to split apart our forces into two. One to fight Hime and one to track down the kidnapper."

Princess Sally then took over the explanation. "As for the teams. Team 1 has Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Who are in charge of subduing Shadow Arc and trying to find a way to free them from their brainwashing. Normally the only way to stop a Skullraiser would be to kill them but the new vaccine program should be able to break the mind control." Sonic asks. "Do we still have to beat Shadow up?" Tails confirms that yes they are going to have to fight and beat the gestalt composed of the members of Team Dark. To which Knuckles complains about. "Just great! I don't suppose that we can't just use the Skypatrol to beat them up?" Nicole reports. "Sadly while the Skypatrol has been pulled upright and can fly. With Bunnie dead and Antoine missing. We are unable to use Mobius-Oh. And conventional Waltzers would be quickly smacked down. Just ask GUN about that." Sally continued with "Amy and Shorty will be dealing with Hime. Be careful we don't know what she can do in a fight." Shortfuse simply slapped his stomach and boasted. :It doesn't matter what that bitch has up her sleeve. I'll tank everything she's got, and hit her back for double!" Amy pats the squirrel in the back silently agreeing with his statement. "Khan and Gemerl will help with tracking down Madoka. Mighty and Ray are already chasing Omochao. Or whatever is inside him. Meet up with them and help them track them down." Gemerl high fives the monkey king stating. "Good to work with you. Still are you sure you want to get involved?" Khan merely says. "Yes, those beasts enslaved and killed my comrades in the temple. And used Porker as a disposable pawn. I cannot go back without at least trying to avenge their pain."

"Nicole and I will stay behind to both coordinate efforts and to maintain a defensive perimeter with the Royal guard." Sally stated as she continues her explanation. "Silver will be aiding in the defense as well alongside the remaining GUN forces of the local garrison." Nicole added "Sonic's team will be warping immediately using the castle's emergency starpost in the basement. While Khan and Gemerl will be warped after Mighty and Ray report on the location." King Nigel finished with. "I wish you all good luck." And as he stands up from his throne summons his lightsword and lightshield stating as he rises his sword. "Steel yourself soldiers. For we now face one of our darkest hour! I will also join in the castle's defense. For we need as many people as necessary!"

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!" A girls voice screamed across the room as Ahiru and Fakir enter the room alongside a still wounded and limping Monika. "We need to talk to you guys about something!" The duckgirl yells as the trio entered the throne room with armed guards following them. Both King and Princess ordered the guards to stand down as the unlikely group spoke their turn. With Nicole recognizing Monika and asking how the hell did she end up like that.

"You know her?" Nigel asks to which Nicole explains. "She is Tsurugi Kagemusha's assistant and my former superior. No, not just mine. Every tower guardian answers directly to her. Not just in this world. But in every world that towers are active." "Kagemusha?!" Nigel screams in shock. "Does that mean you know that man?! Does that mean you know why he killed my father. And warned Sir Charles about Eggman and the roboticizer?!" Monika looks down in shame while Knuckles asks. "Wait, there are seven guardians?!" "Nine actually. But the only ones who are still guarding their respective towers are the guardians of the sun and moon. A pair of young girls wearing masks. One black haired swords woman and a blond musician. Everyone else including myself just left to do their own things. The other six left a long time ago. And then you found me Princess."

Nicole was referring to the time where Sally and her father entered the green tower during an excavation shortly after the great war ended. It was one of King Nigel's first visits as the newly crowned king. And the princess was roughly four years old then. Sally snuck off and got lost in the caverns where she stumbled into the computer where Nicole was sealed away. After activating it the two managed to find their way back. Where Sally got severely scolded by the worried king afterwards.

"Still... Why was I put in charge of the tower?" Nicole muses to herself. "And the princess, how did she find me? And why does it feel that i've always known her? Could it be like Sonic said and we are all reincarnations from a previous era?" Sally snaps Nicole out of her funk as the AI notices that everyone is leaving to their positions. Leaving them with Monika and her companions who are just standing there with no idea what to do. "And what are you three still doing here?" Nicole asks when Monika hands over the thief bag that holds the seven chaos emeralds. Leaving the royals in shock. "Where did you get this?" King Nigel asked the trio with Sally, Ahiru, and Fakir just looking confused. With the duck breaking the tension by asking. "Are those gems really important? I mean they are very pretty so I guess that they are extremely valuable?"

Nigel explains about the Chaos Emeralds and how they are seven legendary gems containing unlimited power that can grant wishes And the same gems that Eggman has been waging a war and razing Mobius for years now. With Ahiru comparing them to the seven dragonballs. Which Fakir calls her out on remarking that such things don't exist. And that they are not characters in some convoluted magical girl anime. Ahiru counters the argument with a simple. "You mean like what happened to us three years ago with Drosselmyer?" Which causes the brooding bad boy to have a small mental breakdown on site.

Crater beach zone, Green tower island

The island where the green tower is located on. Crater beach got its name for the large circular coast and shallow waters surrounding it. Which are rumored to be because something crashed in the beach long ago leaving an impact crater that became the beach we see now. The coastline is also full of abandoned dig sites and equipment left behind after the end of the great war. With mines all around the tower created in the hopes of locating lost technology. The Satoshi has landed next to the beach as the space marines of the IFS lick their wounds after barely escaping their last battle. And have spent the past few days hiding here as they try to contact any allies. Being completely unaware of the current situation within GUN and the IFS.

While Holly and Momoe were enjoying the beach and splashing around in the ocean in color coded bikinis. Tomio was being chewed out by Kyoko for his screw ups and failures, all the while taking care of Sayaka who wasn't feeling all too well. The duo of Kyoko and Tomio, concerned about their teammate were discussing the situation while Sayaka was asleep. "So Miki has no memory of her past?" Tomio asked to which Kyoko corrected. "Not lost. More like her memories changed." "Isn't that a good thing sir? I have heard stories about the war and honestly I can't help but think that not remembering that mess is a good thing."

As the two leaders were discussing matters inside the Satoshi. The two younger girls were enjoying themselves in the beach with Holly enjoying swimming on the sea while Momoe heads to the shore to go to the nearby bathrooms. Another facility that was abandoned by the kingdom of Acorn. With Momoe showing annoyance and complaining about the dirt, rust, and ruins. Unbeknownst to the duo a mysterious and familiar dark shadow was lurking in the ocean like a man eating shark.

Ost: Jaws theme, Jaws

The shadow prowled across the surface of the water stalking the girl before striking. Revealing a black human skull with spider lillies which lunges from the bottom of the ocean and bites off her legs. Causing Holly to freak out and panic as the monster ate her alive in a frenzy similar to the movie Jaws. Leaving nothing but blood in the waters that drifted all the way to the shore. Momoe left the toilet still fuming at the fact that she cannot use the bathrooms in the Satoshi.

"Seriously! Why can't those old ladies just get their shit together?!" Momoe fumes as she enters the bloody waters. Completely unaware that her partner is dead and there is a horrifying monster stalling her as well. "Holly! Holly! Where are you?! Don't tell me you left me as well..." Momoe breaks down over what has happened and crouches down into the blood. Finally noticing that the ocean is full of blood and guts causing the typically glamorous and aloof girl to panic as she tries to flee onto the shore before being skewered by bones and ground to a bloody pulp by golden gears and springs which crush and skewer alive in a very painful manner as Omochao rises from the carnage and goes of on its merry way.

Meanwhile in the skies above the water. Ray the flying squirrel watched the entire debacle and in a panic flew back to the hovercraft he and Mighty used to follow the Calamity Homun to report the situation.

After Ray left the area. Kyoko and Tomio came out of the ship to gather their teammates with Tomio stating that he has made the chunky salsa that the girls love so much. Only to stop and look in horror as they see an oceanfront full of blood and guts. Kyoko remarked. "When you said chunky salsa. I was not expecting this." "Be serious for a moment sir. We need to find the girls." As the duo searched the beach while Omochao snuck into the Satoshi where he began shooting it up in a rampage as he wandered the halls of the spacecraft. Something that is noticed by Kyoko and Tomio as smoke and fire begins to pour out of the large mechanical whale.

What's left of the Iron Dominion, Chu-Nan

Team Sonic walk out of the portal created by the starpost as they witness that the capital has been completely wrecked and abandoned. Everyone is on edge as they look around with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles being especially wary of what is going on. Tails is also concerned since there is no security. And the anti-warp field has been disabled with the prodigy remarking that Hime truly wanted them there.

"I wonder what kind of sick game that woman is planning now?" Knuckles asks remembering what Hime and her goons did to Angel Island which has been reduced to a bombed out ruin that may never support life again. And Amy and Shortfuse splitting off to look for their target with a determined Sonic blasting forward looking for a fight. "This ends now Calamity Homun! You've done enough to my friends so i'm taking you down." Sonic ponders with a brand new determination. Fueled not just by recent events but by his recovered memories the blue blur speeds towards the upper levels with Tails and Knuckles barely able to keep up. Until the trio reaches the rooftop of the Iron palace overseen by a transformed Shadow Arc who is in front of Team Dark's Deathgleamer where Hime is watching over the carnage mocking the heroes with glee. With the corpses of the dead Waltzer pilots being strung up across the ship's bow like trophies. "Well, well, well! Sonic the hedgehog! You used to be a big deal! Whatever happened to you?! And I don't see little Madoka with you! Did she chicken out, again?!" Sonic silently fumes as he shows off his driver which surprises Hime. Followed by Tails and Knuckles doing a similar feat. After a moment of surprise the cat monster composes herself as she point the Deathgleamers cannons at the three. "Well it doesn't matter. Because soon I will that girl and become the one and only Madoka Kaname!" Hime fires the cannons obliterating the Iron palace as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles combine to form Sonic Arc which is intercepted by Shadow as the two begin to brawl.

While all that happened Amy and Shorty snuck aboard the Deathgleamer and began searching for their target only to be stopped by hordes of armed Skullraisers with rifles and sickles at the ready.

Sonic and Shadow are trading blows in the skies of the Iron capital as Sonic tries to talk some sense about the situation. "Shadow wake up! Are you really going to let some alien control your mind?!" Only for the black hedgehog to remain dead silent as he brought out his scythe and began slicing the city around him. With Sonic blocking him with his tomahawks. The two warriors kept going until Shadow goes wide and launches a powerful sweeping swing which Sonic Arc avoids by splitting apart and reforming into Knuckles Arc and begins to punch Shadow before he splits apart and reforms into Omega Arc and engaging in a contest of sheer power. As both gattai's clash leading to a deadlock. Tails uses the deadlock to install the antivirus on Omega causing the robot to break away as electricity surges around his body causing Omega's consciousness to briefly return before he splits apart into Rouge Arc.

"It's working!" Tails remarks as he takes over and becomes Tails Arc launching his funnels at Rouge and while the latter manages to tear apart the funnels with her drill and her swift aerial movements. She is blasted repeatedly in the process and left open for attack as Tails opens up his shield to reveal a large railgun which hits Rouge directly causing her to fall down. And Tails to charge another attack. "Lightning hold!" Firing off an electrical storm at Rouge Arc causing significant damage until she splits and an angry Shadow blitzes Tails. Beating him senseless before switching into Omega who fires an alpha strike that obliterates most of the capital and leaves Tails injured forcing Sonic to take over.

Ost: Bloodlines: Getter Robo Arc op

Sonic takes out his tomahawks again and launches them. "Sonic Tomahawk!" But they are stopped by Omega who after a few moments of sparks and hesitation crushes them with his bare hands as the fight continues. With Knuckles Arc then fighting Shadow Arc. With the former's power and technique manages to stalemate the latter's incredible speed. Leading Shadow to use his scythe like a spear. Thrusting it at the guardian at supersonic speeds with each thrust leaving a sonic boom. Knuckles counters by adopting a boxing stance and dodging the blows while closing in and landing a group of punches before Shadow leaps away and fires off a barrage of chaos spears that leave massive explosions and cause a massive fire across the battlefield. Knuckles puts out the fire by slamming his fists into the ground with the shock wave choking out the flames and giant spikes to erupt and surround Shadow Arc leaving him trapped. "Now Sonic!" The echidna screams as the trio shifts again with Sonic stating. "Let's end this!" As Sonic Arc's entire body begins to glow and emit a green aura that transforms into a golden glow as he clasps his hands and raises them both forward. Causing gusts of wind to gather around them and forming a condensed mass of green energy that then changes into a golden coloration. Before firing a massive golden orb straight at Shadow Arc.

"Final move! Finish it splendidly! Arc! Shine! Shockwave!" The blast strikes at Shadow Arc causing a massive explosion that consumes the fusion and a good chunk of the capital. With Tails questioning if they finally did it. Only to find that a beam of darkness coming from the Deathgleamer which is rising into the heavens above bathed Shadow Arc. Restoring his power and restoring Hime's control. The latter of whom proceeds to hijack the comms to gloat about it. "Nyahahahahahahahahahaaaa! Did you really think I would let you take away such a valuable pawn?! Think again you stupid bitches! Do you honestly think a bunch of filthy animals can hope to beat a human being?! Don't make me laugh! Now once my toy is done killing you all! I'm gonna take my time basting you with barbecue sauce as I deep fry your corpses and eat them!"

"Jamaiiiiiisssss!" A shrill french voice screamed as all of a sudden Hime found herself skewered. With a saber stabbed in the back courtesy of Antoine. And causing the villain to scream in pain and cough up blood before screaming. "How?" Antoine merely states. "You killed my wife!" Only to be shot in retaliation by a furious Hime who screams. "Do you have ANY idea how little that narrows it down?!" Before punching Antoine in the head repeatedly. Hitting his enough to make his face bleed and only stopped by another explosion as Amy and Shortfuse barge their way in and break the fight up by virtue of Shortfuse gunning down Hime with a hail of gunfire until Amy manages to crush her skull like a grape with her hammer. Splattering the remains across the nearby wall.

Amy helps Antoine get up as the trio looks at the splattered mess with Antoine asking. "Is she dead yet?" As the remains of Hime get up and pulls out Antoine's sword and begins using it at the trio. With Amy using her hammer to parry Hime's blows while the goo that was her head bursts into a horde of laser firing tentacles which causes Amy and Antoine to hide behind Shortfuse whose armor repels all of the laser blasts and when her body tries to slice apart Shortfuse the squirrel's armor causes the blade to snap causing the tip to bounce into the ship's controls causing the ship to short out and explode. Triggering the Gleamers self destruct mechanism as the ship falls into the ground taking several buildings with them.

The trio tries to escape but are held back by the rampaging Hime. With even all of Shortfuse's considerable firepower the body and tentacles continue to rage until Antoine tackles and pushes away Hime screaming "Run!" And Amy refusing to leave Antoine until he tells her. "It's fine, If it means stopping Bunnie's killer I am willing to sacrifice myself. Also tell your majesty I am sorry." Shortfuse is forced to drag out Amy from the ship as Antoine grabbed the saber tip and shoved it into Hime's stomach all the while the tentacles skewer Antoine as the bridge begins to catch on fire. With a quiet. "Bunnie, Ma'chere." Antoine and Hime kill each other as the bridge explodes alongside the rest of the Deathgleamer. And Shortfuse is forced to blow up several walls and fly away with Amy as the Deathgleamer explodes with Shortfuse going full throttle to avoid the fireball explosion that consumed the ship. Crash landing in the streets below with Shorty using his armor to protect Amy from major harm. But the duo are busted up a fair bit.

As the duo gets up they look on at the destruction with the pair saluting the fallen Antoine in a moment of silence.

Back inside the Satoshi

Omochao is still going berserk as he enters the medical bay finding a sleeping Sayaka. All the while Kyoko and Tomio are trying to stop him. Transforming into it's monster form he fights Kyoko and Tomio at the same time. With the giant lizardman using a pair of gauntlets called the Octo knuckles tries to crush Omochao only for him to spin his upper body like a top at such speeds that Tomio is eventually forced to let go when struggle ends up dislocating his left shoulder and causing him to crash back first into a wall. Kyoko then tries to swarm the robot with her Rosso Phantasma technique. Which is basically magical girl shadow clones. The group of 20 then try to skewer Omochao gang piling him as they try to shove spears into it. Until Omochao creates an explosion that knocks off the clones and tears the robotic shell apart revealing a humanoid shadow that grabbed the twenty spears, pulled them out and started using their whip modes to take down the clones and browbeat the real Kyoko and then Tomio as he rushed to defend her.

The calamity then tries to move in for the kill using her stolen spears when a gale of wind stops her cold and tears apart the spears and a golden light crashes next to the calamity and punches it so hard that it's sent flying. Much to the shock of the IFS agents. These two figures Gemerl and Monkey Khan are joined by Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the flying squirrel with the latter two trying to help the agents. Mighty using his strength to lift up the pair and Ray using magic to heal the two. "Are you two alright?" Mighty asks only for Kyoko to freak out and rush to Sayaka's side screaming her name with Ray in hot pursuit as a series of explosions separate the group and force Mighty, Khan, and Gemerl to retreat with Tomio in tow as the Satoshi is destroyed by the Calamity Homun which rises up to the sky having regained her original human form. A pale skinned young girl with long black hair wearing a black suit and tie with a fedora. In a manner not unlike Hazama from Blazblue. And sprouting a pair of bone wings with black feathers hanging off them.

"Yes! Yes! I live again!" The calamity screams as Madoka's anguished head bursts out of her chest pleading her to stop. Only for the calamity to force her back in as everyone watched from below. "Yes... Do not look away. You witness a god's revival... And the birth of her new world!" The calamity cackles as a third eye shaped like the diamond eye of her faction symbol opens in her forehead and dark energy known as malice erupts from her body bringing to life a plethora of monsters which surround the heroes.

Homura Akemi

The great calamity reborn

Theme of Homura

Nui Harime's theme, Kill la Kill

The monsters which are a medley of not only standard Skullraisers but also Skullraiser Lords, Skullraiser calamity types which are Homura's personal guard that wear cloaks that leave their upper head exposed and dual wielding large skull sickles which are four feet long each. and Skullfighters. Which are all sent to fight the resistance members. With Mighty and Khan going against the ground forces. Gemerl taking on the flying enemies and Tomio trying to heal himself as the beach becomes a war zone.

Meanwhile in the wreckage of the Satoshi. Kyoko is still trying to wake up Sayaka much to Ray's chagrin. Ignoring things like survival, oxygen levels, and the fact that Kyoko has lost most of her left arm due to one of the explosions and has shrapnel embedded in her stomach. "I hate to ask, but why is that girl important? I mean is she your girlfriend or something?" Kyoko bites back with a defensive. "She is not! She is a friend! Whom just so happens to cook, clean, and take care of me since we were teenagers now. And we live together in the same house, raise children, and sleep in the same bed and even gone all the way. We are friends, that's it!" Ray snarks back with. "So she's your wife then?" To which Kyoko bops Ray in the head stating. "Do you want me to hurt you twerp?!" When a warp portal opened next to them and a certain robot tank walked out of said portal. To which Kyoko demanded to know who he was since he was a Sumeragi type robot.

"Firewall, general of the artillery type Sumeragi forces." The robot stated. "And I see that you two managed to survive. Well mostly." Firewall muses as she looks at Sayaka only for Kyoko to protect her. But Firewall merely looks away and to the collapsed ruin saying. "It doesn't matter. Not only has the capital cut you guys off. But Sayaka will soon remember her past life." Kyoko actually looks happy at hearing that which is ruined by what came next. "Sayaka Miki lost, no she sealed away her memories so she could be with you Kyoko. Once she remembers everything the delusion that has sustained will break and Sayaka will die." Kyoko furious at hearing that screams at Firewall while barely being held back by Ray. Firewall merely ignores Kyoko and her barrage of curses and swear words as he charges up his main shoulder cannon and points it at an angle and firing. Managing to create a path to freedom which he takes. Kyoko left fuming stays with Sayaka. Refusing to leave her as Ray follows the path outside.

Outside the battle continues with Homura's forces swarming the Resistance even as the trio fight off horde after horde with the great calamity looking on. As an injured Kuro still holding her danmaku pillow of Homura which is in far betr condition than her owner teleports to her side to report. "Great calamity! Your loyal servant has come to your side. Unfortunately Castle Calamity has been destroyed, Touka and her blights have all been defeated, and Kyubey and Oriko seem to have deserted. But I the great Damocles will continue to serve you." "That won't be necessary. After all now that I have Madoka none of you are needed." Homura casually remarks to the shock of Kuro who replies with. "But Akemi-san I have been your most loyal ally. Your only loyal ally. Everyone else was either using you, afraid of you, or waiting to stab you in the back. I... I love you Akemi-san, I have always loved you." Homura blasted Kuro, piercing her heart and forcing her to her knees while holding her chest and coughing out blood. As she spoke with a bitter icy coldness in her tone of voice. "You have served your purpose. But now that I have Madoka. I can finally move on to my plan. To kill everyone and destroy everything. Until there is only Madoka and me." Showing off a crazed slasher smile as Kuro rotted away until dying. Leaving nothing but a puddle of bile on the ground which is absorbed by the fallen body pillow leaving it with a dark crimson coloration. As a massive energy blast bursts from the wreckage of the Satoshi behind them.

Meanwhile Mighty and Monkey Khan are being overwhelmed only for the injured Tomio to get up and join in the fight and using his size and might to ragdoll the cult forces with ease. At least until the calamity skullraisers skewer Tomio. Piercing his toughened bullet proof hide and piercing his stomach, heart, lungs and had his arms and legs slashed up. But even then he kept fighting much to the amazement of Mighty and even Khan. "Locals." Tomio said only for Mighty to state. "Mighty, my name is Mighty." Only for Tomio to ignore the armadillo and continue. "Please, save my commanders. The capital will attempt to destroy Mobius now that the rebels have all gathered here. They will kill everyone just to make sure that the oligarchy can maintain its power. Just like they destroyed the planet Reibai." Khan shocked at the revelation yelled. "I heard the story. That terrorists blew up the entire world." "Yes, but the reason that they succeeded was because they were betrayed by their sworn brothers the people of Earth." A horde of Skullraisers then open up their blasters and shoot at the Alzak's open wounds causing the giant to be boiled and vaporized from the inside out. Causing Tomio Gordon to finally collapse and die to the horror of Mighty and Khan. Gemerl who was shooting down Skullfighters also saw what happened and tried to help. Only to be shot by blasters and missiles and with a Skullfighter going kamikaze and crashing into Gemerl. Smashing the Gizoid into the ground and exploding. With the horde moving in to finish off the exhausted remnants only for a massive barrage of missiles pepper the battlefield. Taking out the remaining Fighters as a a speeding wheeled robot speeds forward using his arm cannons to shoot out and blow up the gunners. As a flying robot also follows firing off more rockets.

"Tora! Tora! Tora! Air Raid and his amazing friends are here to help!" The jovial general screams out as he fires off another barrage of missiles. "Let's go! Itano circus!" The fired missiles all weave around in patterns before landing on top of every remaining monster all at once. A feat that Kickback merely shrugs off as the two robots are joined by another combatant. Professor Kagemusha who flies down confidently to once again face off against his nemesis. And managing to unnerve Homura. "Mighty, Monkey, head to where the energy beam came from. As Ray and the others are there." Mighty simply ran off while Ken commented. "And what about you?" Kagemusha simply stated. "The Calamity Homun has always been my problem to solve. But do not worry. The war ends today. I will make sure of it."

Ost: The Touch, Transformers the movie

Homura confidently boasted. "You failed to defeat me ten thousand years before. And now I have become even more powerful than ever! Now that I have obtained Madoka I will obliterate reality. And create a world just for the two of us!" Kagemusha countered with. "Even after all this time you still cling to your obsessions! If we really wish to protect the universe from the incubators. Then we must stop relying on the past. We must free ourselves from the gods influence and created a world for man by man!" The duo then fly to each other and begin fighting in the air. Tossing flurries of punches at each other. "Fool! Once i'm done with all of you! I will break Madoka! Her mind and her ass!" Homura then summons a barrage of rocket launchers that he fires at Mighty who is running towards a hole in the ground only for the rockets to be shot down by Firewall alongside Ray whom states. "Do not worry I will protect the organics!" And then Kickback and Air raid double team Homura smacking her down from above and below her and forcing her into the beach. Air Raid remarks. "Calamity Homun, a loser like you will never win because we have justice on our side!" Kickback simply remarks. "How chatty..." As he points his guns at Homura while Kagemusha draws out his gun in blade form and goes on the attack as the duo goes deeper into the island with the three generals following suit.

Kagemusha and Homura continue to clash. With both fists and words. With the occasional magic missile barrage that obliterates the landscape when it misses their intended target as both fighters fly at hypersonic speeds across the island with utter ease. "Why? Why does everyone get in my way?!" Homura screams in frustration. "I only want... I only... What did I want?" Kagemusha then realizes. "I see, so you too have lost your original identity. Yes you are not Homura Akemi. She's dead and I killed her!" Homura begins to panic as she launches several dozen LGM-30 Minuteman III ICBM's she summoned from hyperspace. To which a freaked out Kagemusha responds. "Shit! I forgot about those!" As the great calamity fired them all straight at her opponent only to fly off in different directions in the far distance much to both of their surprise. Kagemusha snarked. "And with that, we just started World War 27." Before throttling up and smacking around Homura with such speeds that she had to resort to time stop to stop him. Kagemusha then breaks out of time stop as the fight continues in frozen time. With Homura receiving a flurry of Jo Jo-esque high speed punches for a good minute or so for her troubles.

"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAAAAAA!"

Time resumes after this. With both parties being sent to the base of the Green Tower as they power up even further. With Kagemusha putting on the Pandora driver and Homura transforming into her witch form Homulily. A horrifying giant skeleton wreathed in sand, darkness, and military artillery.

Iron mountains, Iron dominion

As the sun sets across the mountains the battle between Sonic Arc and Shadow Arc rages on as the two has left the city and have continued into the mountains as the duo collide with each other in the skies. With the duo colliding mid air and Sonic joking. "You may claim to know everything I do! But I know everything you're gonna do as well! Strange isn't it?!" Shadow Arc split itself again and it's components transformed into Omega Arc who opens all of his compartments revealing massive Gatling and railguns, numerous missile pods, and pulse lasers from his eyes which all fire at Sonic below nuking the entire iron mountain range. Obliterating the mountains and crumbling them to rubble. And even after switching to Tails Arc and using the full power of the kitsune shield to generate a powerful barrier. The blast still damages the gattai causing it to fall on its knees. Omega Arc looking for a finisher dumps its weapons and switches to a massive drill to finish his opponent off. Only for the beam of darkness to dissipate and Omega Arc to weaken as the antivirus once again takes effect.

Sonic Arc's theme

Ost: Dragon: New Getter Robo

"Sonic, look!" Tails states as both evolutions shift into Sonic and Shadow Arc respectively. As the two prepare for the final battle going into a full on bare knuckled slug fest as they exchange punches and kicks for a good while before braking off and engaging in a mutual charge. Clashing once more as Sonic tried to talk some sense to Shadow. "Snap out of it Faker! Are you really going to let that freak control you?" Shadow begins to struggle screaming. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" To which Sonic replies with. "I won't shut up! I won't let you end up like Porker! A disposable pawn to evil!" Sonic's eyes changed from green to red after mentioning that and began emitting a golden aura. Which allowed Sonic to overpower Shadow and outspeed him as well. Leading to swift and potent takedown until Sonic slammed Shadow into the ground creating a fissure in the earth itself. And as Sonic Arc loses his amp. Shadow Arc is completely paralyzed as sparks and energy surge around him with all three members of the fusion screaming in pain and agony.

Team Sonic looks on as Sonic decides to finish it. "Tails, let's end this!" As the antidote program surges and focuses on the legs as Sonic rockets up into the sky before flipping into a loop de loop maneuver and plummeting feet first into the ground. "Final move! Arc infinity!" And slams into Shadow Arc's shell causing a massive explosion that breaks apart the transformation and tosses away the components as the antidote surges across Team Dark as they are rag dolled across the ground. All three of them are banged up but still alive. As Sonic Arc splits apart as well as they go on to find and gather the survivors that are left. As Amy and Shortfuse rendezvous with them.

Nanairo had finally regained consciousness and managed to barely get out of her wrecked mech. Coughing as she tries to hold her balance and holding back a bleeding wound from her forehead while getting down from the wreckage. "Carlos... Carlos..." As Nanairo struggles to stand up unaware that she was shot in the back with a spell that turned her into a crystal statue as Oracle and Snively came out of the shadows. "So, why are we capturing this child now?" Snively asked to which Oracle returning to her Oriko form merely explains. "Well I heard about this thing called robotomy. And I want to try it on her." Snively smirked as Oriko opened a warp portal to take them away.

"So this is all the survivors huh?" Shortfuse moaned as he looked on at the devastation wreaked by the last battle. Sonic asks. "And what about Antoine?" Amy sadly commented. "Sorry, there isn't enough left to bury." As Amy holds the guards remains with one hand. A burnt piece of coal that is disintegrating thanks to the wind. Shadow, Rouge, and Omega are then regaining their consciousness with the trio looking upset and annoyed at all that happened. "Are you alright?" Sonic asks to which Shadow remarks. "Fantastic... I can't believe I got brainwashed... For the third time!" "Third time?" Rouge asks in confusion which also confuses everyone else. Sonic merely explains. "I'll explain everything once we get back. Trust me it's such a mess." Nicole then patches in with a legitimate concern in her voice. "Is everyone alright?!" Tails asks what is going on to which Nicole replies. "Team B found Madoka. Unfortunately things didn't go to plan and they need backup." The conversation is interrupted when Monika comes out of a portal carrying the chaos emeralds with her. "I'll take them there Nicole. The team is in Green tower island right?" "Yes it is. But can you take everyone back to the castle first. After all we have injured." "Understood, let's go everyone."

As everyone retreated back to safety Omega was fuming something that Rouge confronted him on. "I can't believe that Eggman is dead..." Rouge at first shows concern before Omega breaks into a tantrum. "I should have killed him! It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not fair!" Causing the angry bat girl to kick Omega in the shins and drag him into the portal as it is sealed up.

Green tower island at night

Sonic alongside Monika speed towards Green Tower island only to find utter annihilation in his wake. With countless corpses strewn around the bombed out battlefield leading a horrified Sonic to search for his friends. Finding them alongside a still unconscious Sayaka and a Kyoko that was forcefully dragged out of the hole as well as the body of the recently deceased Tomio Gordon and a badly injured Gemerl who lost both his legs after dragging himself out of the wrecked Skullfighters. All of them gathered around a small campfire in the middle of a full moon night.

"Are you alright?" Sonic asked with great concern. Gemerl reassures Sonic by stating. "Could be better. I can always be rebuilt. But those girls." Gemerl remarks looking at Sayaka and Kyoko and the body of the deceased Tomio. Mighty and Ray are also beaten up which causes Sonic to ask Monika to open a portal so they can get everyone back. Something that Monika complies with as the two begin to move everyone back to Castle Acorn and asking for both medical assistance and for Tails to fix up Gemerl again.

After they finish with their teleportation. Sonic and Monika are left on their own as they look towards the inside of the island. Which has been obliterated with several fires dotting the area as explosions can be heard at a distance. Monika tries to fly off but the thief bag breaks as the Chaos emeralds float away and gather around Sonic. "These are..." Sonic mentions as the emeralds enter inside of him and more of Sonic memories are regained as well as another memory. One of Dr. Eggman in the distant past as he gazed at the blue chaos emerald.

"In every experiment, in every scenario, there is the factor of chance. The unpredictable - the variant or mutation for which you cannot prepare. That hiccup on the quantum level that throws everything off. I'm talking about chaos, Snively. And who has been exposed to more Chaos Energy than Sonic? Don't you see? That's why I can't beat him! That's why I can't plan for him! Sonic is the embodiment of chaos! He is patently unpredictable! He is the constant inconsistency!"

Then as Eggman puts down his drink he presses a big red button as the world is consumed by a flash of light,

"It's time to remake this world in my image..."

A frazzled Sonic is jolted back to reality as he is hit by a sudden sense of dread. "Lady! We need to go, NOW!" As the odd duo heads to the site of the battle. In said site Kagemusha was actually beating Homulilly with contemptible ease. As the berserking witch was casually dismantled by the robots calculated strikes. To the point of even throwing shade at his opponent. "Witches may be stronger than Puella magi. But they are also mindless brutes only driven by basic instinct. No that would be an insult to wild animals as even flies but up more of a challenging fight than you do." In a rage Homulily lunges at Kagemusha in the hopes of biting his head off. Only for the latter to slice off the witches head. "Pulling a Charlotte? Really?" Kagemusha comments in contempt as the witch starts to dissolve. With Kagemusha using the Pandora driver to consume her form and power. Leaving an unconscious and slimed Madoka Kaname behind. As Sonic and Monika finally caught up.

"You, actually did it?" Monika asked Kagemusha in horror. All the while Sonic headed to Madoka to check if she's alright. "At least she's fine. Still I don't see why you're so worried lady. I mean this Homura was the leader of the invaders so if she's gone then that means the war is over? Right?" Kagemusha looks at the two and states. "You're right Sonic. The war is now over. And thank you for protecting Madoka up until now. But your services are no longer needed." The atmosphere grows cold as Kagemusha finishes installing the Pandora driver as a surge of power envelops the masked man as his body boils and begins to change. His robotic left arm falls off as a human one replaces it. A pair of black wings sprout from his back and his body begins to develop feminine features complete with his mask breaking apart revealing a face and figure that is exactly like Homura Akemi's. Much to Sonic and Monika's shock. And then Madoka wakes up and says. "Homura-chan... That girl... Is Homura-chan..." "WHAT?!" Sonic and Monika scream in unison when Sonic then asks if Monika knew to which she responds. "No! All this time I thought he was a man!"

"Ah after 10,000 years i'm finally complete! Now it's time to destroy Earth!" Kagemusha reacted as she saw how her broken body has at long last been healed before laughing like a maniac. Madoka asked. "What do you mean destroy Earth?!" Monika answered the question. "Senpai wants to go to the past and destroy both Incubaa and Earth. In the hopes of changing history so that Magical girls never existed. And neither he or Madoka were ever born." "You make it sound like that is a bad thing Monika." Kagemusha replied as he used the Pandora driver on Madoka destroying her driver and causing the girl great pain as both she and Sonic are blasted back. "After all now that I have the full power of the law of cycles under my control I can finally create the utopia we have always wanted. No war, no poverty, no disease, and most of all no incubators. All the people we hurt all the people we lost will come back. No, all the bloodstained history of hate and greed. It will have never happened to begin with! Monika will have never gone mad and been sealed away! Sonic will never have to fight Eggman ever again! And you Madoka. You will have never existed in the first place!" "Never!" Sonic screams as he tries to spin attack Kagemusha in half. Only for her to casually dodge every single one of Sonic's attacks. He then goes on to try every single one of his moves only for Kagemusha to dodge them with ease before backhanding Sonic into the ground. "Predictable. I am programmed with not only your memories and abilities. But I have been constantly training and fighting for over ten millennia! I have fought your predecessors during the great war and kicked all of their asses!" Kagemusha continues to boast as he counters everything Sonic throws at him. Constantly tripping him off and sending him to the proverbial math. Monika then tries to bind Kagemusha with a gravity drive seemingly stopping her. "Now Sonic! Finish him off!" "Oh, so you finally grew a pair Monika?" "Give me a minute to get going!" Sonic remarks as he runs off at maximum speed. Going around the circumference of the world thousands of times in under a minute. Pushing his speed to the limit in order to pull off an infinite mass punch. Which manages to connect hitting Kagemusha between the eyes and causing dozens of shock waves that rocked the entirety of Mobius. Only for Kagemusha to not suffer any damage. Casually break out of the gravity drive. Grab Sonic by the throat, slam him into the ground and then tossing him at Monika. Taking both down.

Kagemusha laughs again overjoyed at finally achieving such power. "This is great! Now I will never need to rely on others ever again! Not with this power!" Madoka finally standing up tries to stop Kagemusha by screaming. "Please stop Homura-chan! I know I must have made you suffer but this isn't right!" Kagemusha merely calls down a bolt of lightning to electrocute Madoka before stating. "My name is Professor Tsurugi Kagemusha! Homura Akemi is dead! I killed her and now I will fulfill the purpose from which I was resurrected. Project Elpis, the birth of a new god. A god of man that will save everyone! I won't allow you to die Madoka! Because I want to watch how everything you worked for! Everything you bled, cried, and struggle for! Is pointless!"

Kagemusha clutches her face as flames erupt from her eyes which become a mix of purple on the left and gold on the right. And slams the activation button on the Pandora driver before saying. "Hen... SHIN!" As a pillar of hell fire erupts from beneath her that transforms into a burning clock as a flaming black Archeopteryx flies from each of the hours of the clock and swarm the skies before merging into the central flame as an explosion seems to cover the entirety of Mobius consuming it in a flash of light.

"Open the eyes of god! Mahou driver Pandora! When the three realms collide. The ultimate god is born. I AM MESSIAH!"

To be continued.

That's it for this chapter, if you like what you see. Feel free to subscribe, comment, and interact. We enjoy hearing from you the reader!

Yes this Dr. Ver is a cameo of John Wayne Vercingentorix from Symphogear. As for why he is in hell when he had supposedly "reformed" at the end of GX? Well, even if he did one good thing in his life. It was still done for selfish reasons and the man was unrepentant to the end. So it makes sense that he would end up in hell alongside Adam. Since they are the only two dead villains from the original anime timeline which remained evil until the bitter end. With Fudou joining them once he expires.

More character deaths. Considering that this is the beginning of the season finale and an upcoming massive shift in the status quo we need to make room for the new merchandise. Especially since many plot points that were originally planned for these characters fell thru. Even the henshin hero aspect of the series is being phased out in favor of giant robot action.

Hime's rant about eating Team Sonic is a reference to Animorphs. Mainly the bad future where Tobias gets eaten by the villains and was tough and gamey until being slathered with sauce.

Kyoko and Sayaka are in a relationship. Even if Kyoko is still a tsundere about their relationship roughly 10,000 years since the events of Madoka Magica. And Sayaka is unable to recall the details of how they originally met.
