Chapter 41: All the worlds hope
Pandora has been achieved and the cosmos has been destroyed. All that is left is a large island floating in the abyss known as Spiral island. The survivors of the purge being hunted by an endless machine army under the Demon King Pandora. A land of Chaos were the remnants of the universe are merged together. Once all of the survivors are sacrificed to the Embryo. The new universe will be born, using the souls as fuel for a new big bang.
The end has come...
Castle calamity, Area X
The iron train has finally reached to one of the many ports around the perimeter of the castle. As Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Monika exit the train. Tails notices that there are many other trains of the same model and robots who head towards their train and begin working on it. Completely ignoring the Resistance while performing their duties of carrying cargo, repairing the trains, and refueling machinery. While Amy comments that the island has been practically destroyed. With everything but the castle being sent to the embryo above as a security barrier rises at the edge of the pit. Made to protect the workers in the castle. Then they hear a chiming noise as an announcement is played across the docks.
"Calamity castle is completing its lock down procedures. All personnel report to your assigned bunkers and remain on standby. Also we warmly welcome Sonic the hedgehog and company. In order to reach the demon king you must go straight thru Area X. The nearby lift will take you there."
"So they know were here." Knuckles bemoans to which Monika responds with. "Sempai wants a meeting with you, remember?" "So she wants to meet her hero before she blows up what's left of the universe? Seriously she's pretty much an evil Tails." Amy once more reprimanded Knuckles before Tails noted that he was completely right. Sonic simply took the lead stating. "Let's go everyone! After all our host is expecting us and we don't want to be rude." With the others agreeing as they head to the lift. With Monika briefly looking at the Sumeragi's all scrambling to safety as the castle finishes locking down with regret.
As the five-some went up the lift. They stood in front of a giant castle gate that opened in front of them. Sonic notices the giant castle asking about how Kagemusha got her hands on such a creepy castle considering the demon kings Eggman like love of machinery. Monika responds with. "This is Calamity castle. And it is or was the remains of the prison where the Calamity Homun was dumped in after the war. Much like I was she was dumped in the void in between galaxies. The darkest and most barren location in the universe. It was supposed to last until Pandora was activated wiping her away from reality itself. But Kyubey broke the seal with Touka's help. Or as we now learned they were both used as pawns by Center in their political games." "So this place is war plunder? Just like Eggman did with Green hills." Sonic bitterly bemoans as the group walks through the hallways as they reach Area X where they are met by an army as well as numerous traps and weapons.

Knuckles slams his fists together stating. "So, this is where the fun begins?" And then punches out a pair of Mantis badnik's that sprung out from the floor. "Watch out everyone! This floor is made of some sort of phasing matter alloy." Monika remarks as massive thorns erupt from the ground. "This is crazy! I thought that girl wanted to meet us?!" Knuckles asks as he kept punching the giant thorns alongside Amy who is dealing with more badniks all the while Tails who is flying up above avoiding turret fire notes. "She wants Sonic. The rest of us are fair game." "Oh really?" Sonic remarks as he uses the blue emerald's power to summon numerous doppelgangers to clear the passage allowing them to continue. "Nice!" Knuckles remarks as he uses the yellow emerald to slow down time allowing the group to pass thru the closing heavy blast doors. Finally catching a break the group wonders what is going on with all the plant life. Seeing as a canopy of massive beanstalks have taken over a large cavernous rooms with several that have pierced clean thru Suppressor and Barrel class ships with a giant tree right in the middle whose spiky roots cover the floor. "The green Chaos emerald." Monika notes with an aghast Knuckles replying. "You're kidding? No wonder Eggman wanted those things so bad." Sonic grimly adds. "To the point that he would use the ROCC to obtain their powers." "It's not your fault Sonic." Amy notes trying to comfort her friend with Tails adding. "Besides Eggman is dead. His corpse was pretty much ground meat thanks to Rouge Arc. And his empire was all destroyed. The Egg bosses and Metal Sonic are dead as well. And his empire was bombed straight to hell. It's over Sonic, It doesn't matter anymore. What we need to do is focus on stopping Kagemusha." Sonic breaths in and out for a moment before saying. "Thanks you guys." As they continue their trek.
In the throne room the revived Sumeragi generals alongside Kagemusha are watching the unfolding situation. "I see those fools are holding their own." Firewall noted. "Frankly i'm impressed considering how quickly their allies fell." A bitter Kickback then said. "Too bad that bug turned out traitor as well." Air Raid then comments. "So, I suppose it's time for a rematch? I've been itching for payback against those freaks. Especially against Sonic." "I don't care either way you guys. Get in, kill the furries, and get out." "So, your magnificence! Say the word so we can skin those beasts!" "And kill that traitor Monika. Isn't that right Air Raid?" Air Raid simply laughs in response to Kickback. Kagemusha thought was not amused. "You shall do no such thing! You three will remain on standby. And Kickback, try anything funny and you will face the same fate as Lepard." Kagemusha's throne detaches as it flies into the sky above as the roof opens up to show the embryo in all of its glory. A car sized golden glowing orb containing an entire universe inside it floating above and around a series of concentric and interconnected rings. With the still crucified Madoka and Homura at the sides waiting to be killed in order to restart the universe and bring about the revenge of the Reibai. And Kagemusha's personal revenge as well. Heading towards the crucified magical girls gleefully reverting her mask and looking at the duo. Sharing the same face as Homura Akemi she laughs at the crucified duo. "Oh Madoka, sparing Kyubey was the biggest mistake in your life. But now your mistakes shall finally be corrected by me, the true messiah. So sleep for now mother. For I will kill you soon enough."
Back in the hangar that has been turned into a greenhouse. With Team Sonic avoiding more thorns both as vines and fired off as shrapnel. Razor leaves and multiple leaf cyclones that surround the facility. Sonic uses the yellow emerald to aid in dodging. The aqua emerald allows Tails to turn into water and phase thru attacks. Knuckles uses the red emerald to fire off massive flames and charge forward. Amy uses the blue emeralds clones to hack thru the vines. And Monika uses the purple emerald to fire off homing shots as she locates and jumps from hidden platforms towards the tree. Readying her ax she thinks. "Hope I'm right about this." Charging up her ax which cuts down the giant tree, stopping the rest of the plant life. And finally ending the assault. As the other four head towards Monika she gets up and raises her hand showing the green chaos emerald much to everyone's surprise. "Ax beats tree sempai!" Tails notes that they now have six of the seven gems with the gray one being the only one left. Sonic trepidated considering his memories of the ROCC and its usage.
Everyone was interrupted when the roof exploded as the pieces fall all over the hangar as a gray colored variant of the Suppressor class. The shimmering flying pyramid flies above them firing off a shower of beams into the ground below igniting the plants and starting a fire. Sonic retaliates by boosting onto the ship by using the walls and roof causing damage and pushing it back before being forced to bounce off. Then the Suppressor somehow boosts into Sonic. Rocketing across the room and into Sonic before slamming itself and both into the ground leaving everyone caught off guard. The other four silently nods as the team up to attack the enemy. Tails fires off numerous thunderballs, Knuckles lands a spinning drill knuckle, Amy fires off her cards like they were a Touhou spell card which explode on contact, and Monika strikes the pyramid's top with her gigant cleaver. Leading to both explosions and forcing the pyramid to let Sonic go as it sparks lightning all over its hull before firing off massive lightning bolts that tore thru all in their path. Forcing Sonic and company to flee as the Suppressor fires off exploding cards of its own. "What is going on?" Tails asks to which Monika replies. "It's the gray emerald I think. It copies moves I think." Air Raid's evil laugh could be heard all across the hangar as he boasts. "Indeed! The emeralds seem to have unique powers. With the gray one allowing the mimicry of abilities. Now be a good hedgehog and die!" Sonic merely snarks back. "Looks like I left a lasting impression on you Lame Air." "It's Air Raid you twat! Super Suppressor end their games forever!"
As if understanding the command. The Super Suppressor begins using all of it's absorbed attacks at once. Becoming a bouncing maelstrom of death that could only be defended against. In frustration Knuckles watches as the alien craft ricochets from and when it closes in Knuckles catches it and tries to stop it much to everyone's shock and horror. But the guardian is resolute as his friends either plead at him to stop or rush to his aid. And amidst Air Raid mocking insults he achieves it. Not only stopping what is essentially a thirty foot tall and 20 ton heavy assault drone but lifting it and slamming it into the floor over and over again until it explodes and dies while flaring up a glowing pink aura. Leaving both friend and foe watching utterly speechless at this feat. He then grabs the final emerald and taunts Air Raid to bring it. The enraged general simply cuts off the feed as the doors unlock. Allowing the resistance to continue their trek across the castle while the emergency sprinkler system deals with the flames.
With most of the major generals and bosses dealt with. The next floors were easy to deal with. With automated traps and assorted bio-monsters being the primary threat against the resistance as well as the very castles cavernous maze like insides which caused the team to wonder around lost while facing more dangers. As they continued they passed thru a forest area, an ocean full of islands, a giant cityscape, and a wasteland within a large labyrinth. "What the hell?" Amy comments as they move on, with Tails explaining "Pocket dimension decks. Just like how that hangar area could fit an entire forest full of deathtraps. This decks can fit entire ecosystems. Pretty much every large ship have these now." "I'm surprised Eggman never used tech like this." Sonic notes to Tails. "Unlikely, Eggman is considered a local problem after all. That's how he managed to avoid the mainland's forces. If he were to get too ambitious it would draw the attention of the Burial fleet who would just kill him." Sonic and Knuckles both bemoan the situation as they hear the news.
Heading towards a large door that after passing thru it they realize that they walked onto a large lift that swiftly heads upwards as more easily dealt badniks and later on a horde of Aerial types, then Scout types, Artillery types, and finally all of them at once leading to a major brawl that leads to the top. These Sumeragi's are tougher than usual, being revived robots with experience against our heroes in which the battle is finished by Sonic using a multi hit homing attack onto a wall which then explodes as the door opens and everyone leaves. Leaving behind a trail of broken robots behind.
The embryo
Team Sonic finally reached the center of calamity castle. As they pass thru the final passageway they are greeted by the preserved corpses of all the enemies Kagemusha has killed. Among the many victims are of course the many Puella Magi and incubators that were wiped out during the wars, the missing blights, Lepard Arache much to their shock, Geoffrey and Jacques St. John which surprises Tails as Jacques was the main sponsor of the Les terribles infantes academy and both were reported to have died from mysterious circumstances, and the body of a strange plant like alien. The body of the arch heretic of the Reibai, Tetsuya Dattaga. Frozen in some sort of amber like prisons designed to ensure that they will never be revived even after Pandora ended.
Entering thru the final door they find themselves in a completely transformed throne room. A massive field composed of numerous rings that reach to the heavens where a heavenly golden glow pours from before. As they try to go forward the three Sumeragi generals teleport into the chamber to hold them off at the pass. Attempting to be last line of defense with Kickback stating. "Stop right there!" Followed by Firewall who says. "We will not let you pass!" Then Air Raid chimes in with. "Besides, we've got a heaping helping of payback for you all. Especially you, Sonic." Air Raid added extra emphasis to the last part of the sentence as he pointed at the hedgehog from above before drawing his guns and missiles.
Ost: Exiled one Omega, Rockman Zero tracks Telos
"Stop!" A voice echoes as a large throne appears above and behind them all. "Stand down! They are mine!" Firewall and Kickback look towards the throne and state. "Understood!" "Yes, sir. Air Raid let's go." Kickback notes as the flying general maintains her weapons drawn. Only stopping when Firewall readies his cannon at Air Raid. Forcing him to stand down as the teleport away. After they leave the throne slowly spins towards Sonic and company revealing Kagemusha both unmasked in her original magical girl form. A black mourning robe with the purple parts changed to green and a mechanical left hand replacing the human one. Her hair was also much spikier looking more like bad bed hair with a pair of aviator shades covering her eyes. As Madoka and Homura are brought down behind Sonic and company afterwards and forcefully woken up via electrical shock. Meanwhile Kagemusha looks down on them all, literally and figuratively taking a slouching posture and evil smirk that shows her enjoyment over her superiority towards everyone else while Tails, Amy, and Monika work to free the two girls while Sonic and Knuckles stand by for battle.
Finally after Madoka and Homura were freed and taken care off. Kagemusha spoke. "So, Magnificent isn't it?" Kagemusha wills it that they are all teleported to the top where they witness the embryo. As they witness it they discover that inside there is a small star that outputs massive amounts of energy. "It can't be. Is that the Big bang?!" "Correct Tails, this is the culmination of Pandora. By consuming the cosmos and hyper compressing it. The event that created the very universe will occur. Utilizing both the towers, this castle, and the Pandora driver we can imprint the image of our previous universe into this new one. Of course the plan is to perform certain modifications. Mainly the erasure of the incubators and their legacy among others. This is Pandora! Just like the incubators unleashed all of the worlds evils! I shall unleash its new hope! Vengeance will be finally mine as I am praised as the savior of these foolish masses!"
"All of this for revenge?! You're insane!" Knuckles replied. Tails adds "Your actions could affect countless lives. Trillions if not more would be killed due to the aftermath." Sonic then states. "We won't let you kill any more people! We may have the same wish to save the world. But I will not allow your actions!" Madoka just looks ashamed of everything as Amy tries to comfort her while Homura hatefully glares at her opposite. Monika then walks forward and asks. "And then what?" Which leaves everyone stunned at the question. Kagemusha chuckles and responds. "Then I will die. As the modifications include that Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi were never born to begin with. Which would create a grandfather paradox that negates my existence. Why do you ask that? After all that's how I manage to secure the loyalties of the others. The dragonkin wanted their world back from the Mobians. The miko's wanted a world where they could freely love each other. The Reibai treated the conflict as a holy war. That it was by God's will that we eradicate the Puella Magi. The IFS wanted power, wealth, and glory. And you wanted to free your friends. The only ones who weren't swayed were the robot armies I built and Lepard. And I still plan to grant your wishes. It will simply require all of us to die to do so."
"Kisama!" Sonic screams as he leapt towards Kagemusha who makes no effort to defend herself as the hedgehog is intercepted by a large that slams into him before exploding causing Sonic to crash onto the ground as a giant gun lands on the floor. As in a eight foot tall Desert Eagle revolver that barks at the group while reloading. Kagemusha then stated. "And now the time for games is over. Shoot them." The Gun barks in acknowledgment as it somehow moves from side to side with swift speed even though it is a literal gun.
The Gun
The frenzied firearm
ost: Omega battle, Rockman Zero tracks Telos
"Is this for real?!" An incredulous Knuckles looks on as Sonic orders. "Amy! Take the girls to a safe place to recover. We'll deal with this!" Sonic and Knuckles are joined by Tails and Monika as Amy moves out of the way with her and Madoka helping a badly injured Homura. "What happened to her?" Amy asks as she looks at Homura. Madoka stares. "Homura-chan did this." "Okay, I heard of self harm. But this is too much." Gun meanwhile darted across the sky all the while firing exploding shots before lunging at the group with a series of pistol whip strikes which Sonic and Knuckles grabbing on the gun who flew up and shook him off all the while shooting off both and quickly firing at Tails and Monika who used her gravity to slow her down before firing more shots which were deflected by Sonic's blue tornado attack which tossed away the giant bullets.
As the brawl continued Tails and Knuckles look on at the chaos with the guardian asking. "Does that thing have a weakness?" As they look while Sonic and Monika beat on The Gun repeatedly to no avail. "Let's see... If we had something like sand or mud or something. We could clog up and break the gun. Tails and Knuckles look around only to find metal, stone and metal merged with stone around them. Which gives Tails the idea to grind the stone into sand which Knuckles hurries to do as The Gun switches from single explosive shots to a spray of shotgun fire that manages to hit Monika in the face. Wounding her right eye and revealing that her body was composed of a wire frame composed of white triangular panels. Sonic hurries to Monika as The Gun fires an armor piercing round which is blown up by Tails using a fully charged Thunderhand that also electrocutes the gun. Leaving it stunned as Sonic and Amy repeated their attacks only for the gun to quickly spin out knocking both of them off onto the floor. "Knuckles are you done?" Tails asks as he strafes the gun who shoots at the fox back. Knuckles meanwhile yells at him to wait as he grinds the massive slabs of stones he obtains from the surrounding area and is grinding down the stones into a large pile of grit and sand at the side. Looking at the pile Tails decides to screw it and baits The Gun to the mound of sand as they trade fire. Tails places himself behind the dust and yells. "Okay Thing! Eat macro fouling!" Then lets his tails rips bringing out a massive dust storm that swallows Gun as it swallows the dust until the dust flies away. Angry the gun readies to pull the trigger as Tails stands strong without moving. "Let's hope i'm right." Tails thought as the two are locked in a standoff with their weaponry. And after several moments of tension Gun fires on fail. Leaving his bullet caught in the firing chamber and trying to fire the bullet over and over. Tails meanwhile charges his Thunderhand to full power and aim it straight down a panicked Gun's gun-barrel. "It's not about the gun, it's how you use it." And after giving off that final one liner. Tails fires off a bolt off lightning that Gun eats. Heating the internals until the bullet inside violently explodes destroying the barrel and then the other bullets detonating. Ripping apart the handle and firing mechanism as the gun falls apart in a rain of scrap and dust.
Taking some time to congratulate each other and to make sure the others are safe. Team Sonic is interrupted by Kagemusha who teleports in this time without her throne. Amy boasts about how they've beaten his last underling to which an unaffected Kagemusha simply states. "Then I will simply revive them. As long as their souls are salvaged and placed in new bodies they will continue to revive. Stronger than before." Then a familiar roar that chills Sonic to the core is heard as Abaggon rises from the depths and flies above them. Circling the arena and keeping watch. "You see, this isn't random megalomania. This, is calculated megalomania." Abbagon once again transforms into the driver as everyone else tries to stop Kagemusha from transforming only to get a barrier to the face or an electrocution as a counterattack. Kagemusha then combines the Abaggon driver with the Driver magnum. Placing the shrunken down belt atop the gun while placing his personal driver key on the bottom of the Abaggon driver which causes it to roar
"Trigger Magnum! Abaggon driver! More and more and more!"
As the usual morph ring appears but this time with a crow and dragon surrounding Kagemusha as a trumpet fanfare can be heard followed by a dragon's roar. "No attacking while I transform! Drive in!" Firing the shot. The black raven land on top Kagemusha transforming her into Hacker while the dragon coils around her until transforming her into a new form. Similar to the normal transformation only with added golden highlights alongside the usual green across the armor, wing jets in the arms, legs, and back for a total of seven wings, a more armored and ornate chest plate possessing a dragon face alongside heat sinks with shoulder plates and a golden head crest that looks like two swept back dragon horns as fire and wind bursted out of the armor.
"Mahou driver, Ultimate Hacker. The true genius legacy brings forth salvation.
Mahou driver Ultimate Hacker
The Messiah of destruction
Ost: Cannonball, Rockman Zero tracks Telos
Everyone braces as an explosion of power erupts from Hacker as her seven wings are shown at full display. Showing spikes of green light as magic particles spew all over. After all that Homura who is done with all of this. Rushed towards Kagemusha accusing her future self that this isn't what Madoka wanted. To which Kagemusha replied. "Madoka was naive. She was a fool when she asked us to save her. A fool for sparing Kyubey. And a fool for letting you remember." "You're not me!" Homura replied. "I would never hurt Kaname-san." Kagemusha just erupted in laughter over the claim which left Homura more annoyed. Pouting her cheeks and demanding she get taken seriously. "(scoff) Are you all hearing this dumb bitch! (chuckles)" With the masked woman's mockery angering Homura more as Madoka tries to get her friend to safety. "Take me seriously dammit!" "Homura-chan please leave the apocalypse god alone!" "Oh trust me, I am your inevitable future. But, you have to worry about that. For you have outlived your usefulness." Kagemusha fires off a powerful beam which Madoka dodges by hitting the dirt alongside Homura. Kagemusha then prepares for another attack when he is stepped on by Knuckles Arc who assured that he crushed Hacker like a bug. "I wonder why Power Rangers never did this?" Only for Hacker to grow to a massive size. Causing Knuckles to fall off as the former grabs the latter by the legs and spin tosses him into the other end of the ring, crashing thru stone and metal, and outside it. Taking to the sky in order to follow as Knuckles struggles to take control. Madoka and Homura are once again taken to safety this time by Monika who carries away like a pair of rice barrels.
Knuckles is still being flung across the air forcing Tails to take over and regain control. Firing off his funnels to attack Hacker only for the funnels to have no effect as Kagemusha rockets past all of them and prepares to skewer Tails with her black bladed twin katanas. With certain death only being avoided by a last minute tag out with Sonic and Amy who block the strike and drives off the enemy. Leaving them to engage in a sword duel. With both parties caught in a blade lock until Sonic used a bluff before Sonic tries to power thru Kagemusha's sword multiple times which were easily blocked before getting slashed by an iajutsu strike before striking Sonic Arc in the back with the flat end causing Sonic to fall. "Fifty pound swords Sonic! These katana were meant to be able to stand on even ground to European broadswords but the design failed and was phased out with beam sabers. So Homura! Are you jealous of my peak performance?!"
Hacker then nonchalantly dodges a barrage of beam fire before using her time manipulator to return the attack back to Knuckles. "I miss Eggman!" Knuckles bemoans as the others tell him to shut up. Then Kagemusha appears behind them and fires off a massive beam that fires them upwards before reality distorts and all of them crash onto the rings in their separate forms. Kagemusha then appears shrunken down to normal size, looks at the trio of Monika, Madoka, and Homura and tells them. And you lot have outlived your usefulness. Die." Hacker then fires off a massive blast from her left hand that was only blocked by a quick use of the green emerald's ivy powers. As the AI girl used the aqua emerald's water form to flank her former master and launch onto her head using her powers to both crush and drown Kagemusha. "So, what do you think about my heavy water." Only for Monika to get electrocuted until she is forced off. Followed by a series of electrified punches to her water form and an electrical orb to the face forcing the AI to disengage as she is tossed to the side, flinching in pain.
Monika stands up as Kagemusha points a sword at her and telling her to stand down. "How?" "It's called Ultimate Hacker for a reason." Monika reverses gravity to force away Kagemusha onto another ring above where she is jumped by Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy at the same time. As the four fight the demon king who also throws hands. Dodging Sonic's rushes, Knuckles getting judo flipped as Tails and Amy wail on Kagemusha with their tails and hammer. Giving Sonic and Knuckles a change to power up their finisher using the light dash and burning knuckles. Kagemusha stops time and punches the ground firing a Messenkou which are giant laser beams from before as time is restarted sending Team Sonic into the air. Monika also joins the fight ax ready to drop the ax only for Kagemusha to counter with a Nova Strike an attack that covers Hacker in a golden glows as she flies around hurting things before going after the opposition. Ramming into the resistance one by one before crashing into and thru the ground slamming them into a lower floor before disengaging and heading back towards Madoka and Homura who are now fleeing for their lives as Kagemusha shoots fireballs from the sky purposefully missing by inches out of murderous sadism. "I can taste your fiend Homura! And it is delicious!" Which stops when the Rose sword crashes with Kagemusha and crashes into an energy field that serves as a wall. Switching forms into a gun blasts Kagemusha and herself into Tails Arc in which Amy becomes a magic staff. A long two handed staff with her head serving as the top. Tails lifts the staff and summons lightning, ice, and firestorms. All of whom brutally assault the demon king. Causing damage with their relentless assault. Finished by summoning a four mile long meteor from the sky and chucking it dead center towards Kagemusha. Overloading the barrier and creating multiple explosions. But even then Ultimate Hacker withstood everything even if she's hurt. Tails merely raises the Rose staff again and summons a seven mile long meteor. "So you survived it. But what will you do about the second one Hacker?" Tails tosses the meteor while Kagemusha charges up his hands as thunder strikes them before striking the meteor with a double palm strike which causes it to explode into millions of large shards which were time stopped and then launched at Tails with telekinesis. Skewering the fox with stone as he falls into the floor and reverts with all of them groaning in pain. Getting up and drawing their emeralds with Monika joining in as Hacker touched down.
The fight began with Knuckles slowing down time and Amy using giant vines as whips. Both side trades blows until Kagemusha dodges in a way that Knuckles and Amy hit each other as the demon king grabs Amy's head slamming her into the ground while the guardian continued with Monika striking with a gray emerald gravity drive which allows Knuckles to combo Kagemusha with crippling body blows and then a punch to the face that was dodged causing Knuckles to overextend gaining hind a karate chop to the back of his head. "You have the skill. But not the instinct." Kagemusha mushes as he avoids shots from Tails followed by a flurry of fire powered kicks by Sonic and retaliating with her own kicks until Amy bound Hacker's legs and Monika jumped from the sky, apologizing as she tried to cut off Hacker's leg from the thigh up only to have her ax shattered. In a panic Tails tried to drown her only to be out-sped and then used the Aqua emerald to liquefy in order to avoid the punch which does pass thru but Hacker uses his own Thunderhand to electrocute Tails and force him to his knees before switching to ice to freeze the fox boy before kicking the frozen fox out the way.
A furious Sonic readies a full power spin dash using the grey emerald boost to enhance the red flames, yellow time slow, blue clones, and purple lock-on. Firing it off towards Kagemusha and separating into thousands of boosted burning meteors traveling at both supersonic speed and heading from all over the battlefield at irregular angles with all strike at full power causing thousands of colossal explosions forcing everyone including a thawed Tails to flee for their lives.
Sonic comes out smiling but falling to his knees as he witnesses the massive smokescreen angrily bemoans. "You really won't die, will you?" To Kagemusha who has lost her Ultimate Hacker transformation and is also badly hurt as she walks out of the fire with Abbagon collapsing onto the ground and dies. Being tributed into the core above as particles of light which are consumed onto the embryo. Sonic begins taunting Kagemusha. "So, how does it feels to be kicked out off your golden throne?!" Monika begs Kagemusha to stop yelling. "Stop this! You don't have to destroy everything!" Kagemusha pulls out and puts on the Pandora driver stating. "No, I do. This world is broken, and I have to fix it. Unlike you all I will save the universe! And Madoka..." Kagemusha puts her helmet back on as she activates the Pandora driver as a giant clock appears beneath her and twelve pillars of fire erupt which turn into crows as a hard light Archeoptheryx which combine to create the Pandora armor.
"Open the eyes of god! Mahou driver Pandora! When the three realms collide. The ultimate god is born. I AM MESSIAH!"
Green Hacker Pandora
The demon king Kagemusha
MUST DIE, Blazblue Central Fiction
Sonic stands confidently against his new foe, but his friends become apprehensive as Tails warns Sonic that Kagemusha is dangerous now. A warning Sonic ignores as he goes on the demon king. First giving a powerful kick to the head then to the neck. Then a homing attack followed by a blue tornado and an aerial kick flurry. Then finally getting hit by a drop dash, landing, and then firing off a spin dash followed by a barrage of shockwaves that continued until landing. Which did nothing with Kagemusha simply standing there and taking every blow. A frustrated Sonic then jumps back and asks if he can have some prep time to use the infinite mass spin attack, to which he is told to go ahead. Sonic begins doing laps around the ring they are on, gradually increasing his speed more and more. The others meanwhile are reduced to spectators as Tails explains the nature of the infinite mass spin attack. As Sonic essentially runs around the world until he has obtained enough momentum to strike someone with one punch. It's basically the same technique the Flash used to KO Superman. During that time Kagemusha was lounging in a chair and table drinking juice. "Once I rewrite the cosmos I'll get rid of that stupid black tea. Imagine Mami's face when all the Earl Grey in the universe is gone." When Sonic is finishing his charge up, Kagemusha simply gets up calmly noting. "I see he's finished." Taking on an unguarded stance as Sonic spin dashes into him with such force that the kinetic force creates a shockwave that causes the rings to finally fail as the ground cracks, debris erupt, and chunks drop down below causing more chaos. Unfortunately Hacker is unfazed as Sonic stops spinning and gets a karate chop to his skull for his troubles, bringing him to knees and almost stomped being stopped by the rest of the resistance using the emeralds to fire a rainbow colored series of beams that catch Kagemusha off-guard as Sonic is rescued while everyone jumps of the rings using Monika's gravity drive to stay afloat as the rings finally collapsed.
Kagemusha also flies off the rings as everyone watches in concern. Homura is clutching her head as she is bombarded by the memories of Madoka dying at her hands and a voice echoing in her head mocking her on how she will betray and kill Madoka, and how her becoming the demon king is inevitable. "That's not me... That's not me..." Madoka and Monika can only watch as the former wonders if something can done. Knuckles replies. "There is a way, isn't there?" Sonic nods as he goes Omen once more as he raises his right arm which summons the seven chaos emeralds as they begin spinning around him as a pillar of light blinding the group. The pillar dissipates revealing that Super Sonic now has a golden aura and red eyes as blue lightning surges thru his body. "Let's hope this lasts longer than fifty seconds." As he flies toward the demon king who taunts. "Don't worry, this time I will give you a chance." "Just come closer Kagemusha. So I can kill your ass." The duo then started circling each other in the skies. "Oh, so your balls finally dropped? If you had the guts for that we wouldn't be here you know." "You talk too much. Then again after I'm done with you, you'll be eating your words, your dirt, and your arms." The two begin clashing with their sheer speed allowing them to trade blows and dodge attacks with ease as they flash step all over the skies.
Suddenly Sonic found himself standing on a grassy plane. Only for a voice to scream. "ROAD ROLLER!" And crash a steamroller onto the hedgehog before punching said roller countless times. "MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA!" Before giving one final punch that causes the roller to explode as Kagemusha the one who caused it scream to the sky. "WRYYYYY!" Before Sonic gets up unharmed. "What the hell was that all about?!" As he stands up and throws an easily catched punch. "Is that all Sonic?" Who simply smiles and fires off a plume off golden fire that actually injure Kagemusha. "Not so invincible after all?" The battlefield then switches to the depths of the sea where both of them begin to sink with Sonic freaking out. Kagemusha simply states. "Chill..." As the entire ocean is turned into ice, freezing Sonic as Hacker just teleports away and appears in front of the rest of the resistance. Changing the battlefield into a forest.
"Sempai!" Monika asks in a panic. Tails steps forward to fight screams. "What did you do to to Sonic?!" Kagemusha simply looks at the fox and calmly states. "Sonic? Tuesday." Tails explodes in a fit of rage and rushes Tails attempting to fight hand to hand with Knuckles and Amy attempting to stop him. Only to be frozen in time being forced to watch the fight. As Tails is trying to punch out Kagemusha who simply summons a black rod to use as a staff. Blocking his homing attacks with ease before smacking the fox's head. "So what do you think of my jutsu, Henkou sekai? The power to transport thru worlds." "How is that even possible? The universe was eaten." Tails then gets punched in the gut causing him to fall to the ground and be imprisoned by black rods. "Because i'm me, that's why." Then releases Knuckles who holds back his anger and decides to dig underground to confuse his foe. Rising from the ground Knuckles and punching down trees and then digging away again over and over again. Forcing the masked man to dodge the fairly large and heavy trees before popping up right beneath her, punching what seems to be an illusion. Leaving Knuckles confused as rods appears around him. Which Knuckles snaps away with ease before punching the wind and hitting Kagemusha in the chest which does nothing. In the chaos Kagemusha summons a black katana with a large circular pommel and green accents which she uses to slash Knuckles as the sword is raised and glows as numerous driver keys being inserted on them.
"Deus-ex Calibur! All driver keys combine! Crow! Squirrel! Moth! Horse! Cuckoo! Cerberus! Dragon! Tyranno! Megalotherium! Ptera! Coelocanth! Duck! Swan! Sun! Moon! Archeopteryx! All the powers! I am the end!"
"I was planning on using this on Homura but..." Kagemusha presses the hilt trigger which causes the respective animal constructs to attack everyone as they are frozen in time. Followed by giant laser beams that annihilated the forest while brutally injuring the resistance as the time freeze is broken. The resistance is clearly broken and beaten, lying down in the burning lands. With Madoka and Homura being normal pre-cyborg humans almost dying due to the barrage. Madoka in particular had her left arm blown apart by the sun lasers and had a good chunk of her upper left body scorched. And Homura being cut and gouged by the beasts. With her right eye pecked out. Kagemusha gazes from above at the destruction and laughs. The laugh increasing until it could be heard across as it crescendo's into madness. "Do not worry. For a new, better life awaits you all. Except you two." Kagemusha points at the two magical girls as she prepares to destroy everyone while the resistance tries and fails to get up. Monika once again tries to reason with Kagemusha, begging her to stop to which the latter laughs at saying no. "Why should I? After all I will become the God of the North, South, East, West, and Center. I shall become SUPER KAMI! And I shall be the savior of all!" And as a massive sphere of energy grows. Amy tearfully yells. "Sonic!" As a glowing sphere appears in-between both sides from which Super Sonic rose up from and rose his hand up causing the orb to disappear. "Chaos Control?" Kagemusha replied to the confusion of the others. As Sonic shows another cocky grin as Sonic teleports all around hitting Hacker faster than she can react. Which is attacks done at relativistic speeds. Kagemusha later adapts as their speed mutually increases with Sonic being faster. With blue emerald clones rushing both with Kagemusha being forced to avoid them all the while fighting Sonic. Until clashing their fists whose impact causes such a powerful impact that causes a massive explosion that causes an enormous shockwave that blows away the others, destroy the pocket dimension, and creates a miniature sun in the middle of a new dimension composed of an endless void where the fight continues between Sonic and Hacker.
The two continue their lightspeed clash as they begin to faster than light. Two comets, one gold, one green smashed against each other until finally landing on a planet with a massive impact that caused volcanoes to erupt and the sky to cloud up as dinosaurs flee from the continuing battle. Sonic attempts a diving kick, only to be caught and chucked into a mountain utterly destroying it as Kagemusha follows while Sonic shoots golden fireballs which burn down the forests which Kagemusha dodges until tackling Sonic who responds with surges of lightning and fire that cause even more explosion as both fly away and across the sea all the while kicking each other in the shins until touching down in a desert. And both fire off fire attacks. Gold fire which is an erupting pillar of flames against Onibi which is a mouth spewed trail of black flames which collide leaving the sand across them glassed. "Hotaru!" Kagemusha summons many small orbs of fire around her which are then launched as bits towards Sonic who summons a wall of golden water which he then manipulates like a waterbender into becoming a pressurized stream. "Golden shower!" "Seriously?" The current destroys most of the bits, but some connect as Kagemusha is washed away before getting up and firing off black rods around Sonic which guide currents of black lightning into the area creating multiple explosions that injure Sonic over and over again. At least until Sonic creates a massive forest of tree roots out of nowhere that all convalesce in the heavens. "Wood release?! How?!" Sonic stands atop the roots and states. "Green for ivy, Aqua for water, Yellow to manipulate time, and gray to boost the power. And of course plenty of sun." He then manipulates the roots and trees to create a giant piloted construct that looked like a crudely drawn Sonic Arc with one thousand arms growing out of it. "So what do you think now?" Kagemusha simply laughs back and once again grows giant to the point he becomes far larger and the battlefield changed into a 2D plane as a giant Kagemusha appears in the background. "Didn't I tell you Sonic? Evolution requires sacrifice." Then fires off laser beams from his eyes which tear apart and burn down the wood construct and forces Sonic to flee. "Oh, great! First Oma Zi-O, then Madara, then Omega, and now Sigma. Pick a style and stick with it! Wait, could it be? This might be it..." Sonic then flies off with Kagemusha in hot pursuit.
The chase then begins as Sonic is forced to evade lasers, plasma orbs, missiles, anvils chucked at high speeds, and giant disembodied punching hands that shoot even more lasers, plasma shots, and missiles. Which Sonic maneuvers around before kicking them away into Giant Hacker's face. With the cycle continuing until walls of fire erupted from both left and right sides which hurt Sonic as he tried to get closer to Hacker.. Forcing Sonic to go up as the fire followed him and the giant continued to attack with beams and missiles, as well as manipulating the terrain to hinder and crush Sonic. The hedgehog weaves thru it all until reaching the top as he uses Chaos control to vanish, leaving Kagemusha stunned and confused with Sonic staying away from view bringing out the seven chaos emeralds and focusing all of their powers into one spot while adding his powers until reaching critical mass and fires a colossal Chaos cannon which blasts the giant Kagemusha damaging her to the point that the Pandora armor cracks and shatters. Countering with a blast of his own as the fight reaches a beam struggle with both parties clashing as their bodies, the emeralds, and the Pandora driver begin to crack as the fight continued. "Hey Hacker!" Sonic screams as he puts on even more power and begins to break the armor. "Taste the rainbow motherfucker!" And launches a final burst that overwhelms the demon king. Destroying the Pandora driver completely, annihilating the armor and killing Kagemusha in the process as the reality dissipates and everyone is sent back to the floor of the throne room.
"Is it over?" Knuckles as everyone gets their bearings together. With Sonic and Madoka heading to the broken and burnt corpse of the demon king with the emeralds all falling over the ground. Madoka herself comes closer to check the body only for Kagemusha to come back to life with her wounds healed. "That sucked... And what's worse is that i'm still alive." Knuckles heads over and asks. "You know if you wanted to die. Why go thru all this?" "Knuckles!" "It's the truth Amy." To which Kagemusha replies. "If I could do it. Wouldn't you think I would do it?! I'm still immortal even now! How would all of you feel if all of your friends got old and died while you stayed the same! Over and over, until the end of time! That's why I agreed to do it. Because the only way that Madoka can be safe is if Kyubey and me were never born! Now do it. After all i've done i'm sure you all want revenge now. The only thing I have left is my immortality and time manipulation powers. So i'm sure you'll enjoy beating me up for days!" Finishing her speech with a bitter but resigned tone. "Fine by me!" Knuckles replies with Homura smiling in expectation. And as Knuckles readied his punch Madoka gets in the way and Sonic and Tails grab his arms. Later Madoka hugs Kagemusha who alongside Glasses Homura are downright incredulous of what is happening. "That's enough all of you! And Homura-chan, both Homura-chans I know you both care a lot for me. But I don't want a world built on sacrifices!" Homura replies with a passionate. "She's not me Madoka! She needs to die and if you won't do it I will!" Madoka simply exhales and calmly states. "If you do that. If you take the path of a killer. Then you will become the Demon king Kagemusha." Those words manage to diffuse the conflict and as Madoka let's go. Monika takes her place hugging Kagemusha while crying which leads to the latter to hug her back.
"So we diffused the tykebomb, now what?" Knuckles asks as Sonic responds. "We finish this." Which led to everyone taking notice. "You see with the seven chaos emeralds I can use Chaos control to restore our universe again. It'll be like nothing ever happened." In that moment time stopped allowing Sonic to witness the Chaos emeralds getting stolen and Madoka and Homura being rended into chunks of bloodied meat before time started. Everyone is caught in the split second as Amy screams at the carnage, the ground begins shaking as bells toll, and Super Sonic is forced to revert back to normal collapsing from exhausting as a wicked laugh is heard echoing across the chamber. As an all to familiar hovercraft being piloted by a certain egg shaped scientist descends holding the emeralds around him. "Hey Sonic, long time no see!" A shocked Sonic screams. "How?! How are you still alive?!" "It's quite simple rodent. I knew when to jump ship. Sure I had to sacrifice my entire empire. But eggs, omelets, excetera." A horrified Tails asks if he sent all of his minions to die to which he happily acknowledged. "But now with the emeralds and the embryo I will become the, no, I shall be God, period! A Robotnik Empire that covers all time and all space and more." "Robotnik empire? I thought you learned from the whole Robuttnik fiasco." "Oh I did Sonic." Eggman then takes off his glasses as his voice deepens all the while showing black eyes with red sclera. "I did rodent." Every survivor looked at Eggman and were stunned. To the point where Kagemusha asked. "Julian Robotnik? But how?" Tails then explains. "It can't be! That Dr. Robotnik?" A terrified Knuckles then adds. "I read about him but I thought they were fairy tales. A warlord who conquered Mobius and turned into an industrial hellscape who was erased from existence itself." "The one and the same Knuckles. As for why i'm here. Well you should thank your wonderful big sister Homura-chan. After all she planted the idea in your head to cause a Genesis wave which led to my reincarnation. And while at first I planned to use the chaos emeralds to bind Mobius to my will using the ROCC. You achieved something so much greater. Something i'm going to take." Reality then broke like glass as the complete Egg Omega appeared. Devouring the emeralds as it stood upright in combat mode as it heads to the embryo and consumes it withing its lower bulbous frame. Causing its Time eater limbs to grow and bulk up and the entire frame began spewing purple ooze known as malice. "Time to die hedgehog."
Egg Omega
The god of malice
Ost: Dr. Robotnik's theme, Sonic SatAM
Charging up a beam similar to the one Super Sonic used on Kagemusha below only larger and more powerful. Where the Resistance was too tired and injured to do anything about it but try and struggle. The beam is fired, thundering downwards as Sonic and company braced for impact. Only for one soul to take the full brunt of the destruction as everyone is forced to watch as Kagemusha tries to stop the beam. Succeeding at the cost of her life. Being consumed by the Egg Omega. Eggman erupts in laughter. Not just because his power can even kill immortals now. But happy to torture everyone as he summons an army of all the previous villains who circle Sonic and company. Who all swarm the heroes, leaving Sonic alone to suffer as his friends are picked off one by one. First Knuckles taking numerous lethal blows doing so. A distraught and unfocused Monika being torn in half by monsters, Amy being decapitated as a Raiser pins down her hammer with a sickle while a Sumeragi cuts her head with a sword. And finally Tails, who was overwhelmed, pushed and pinned down, and finally being stabbed to death all while Sonic watched and with Eggman laughing all the way. With their particles being swallowed up as Eggman orders his minions to finish the hedgehog.
Now alone, Eggman descends to taunt Sonic. "Do not worry. After all you will robotized like everyone else. And now I am the messiah." Then the Egg Omega begins to tremble and quake as metal and malice distorts and falls off and then the seven emeralds explode from the Eggman faced bulb and return to Sonic who in a split second tears apart the time eater limbs, wrecking and forcing the Egg Omega to return to it's flying mech form and unleashing its arms looking for his nemesis. Before firing off a buster shot which is swatted away by Super Sonic who is now fully restored and pissed. Before flash stepping into Omega's chest who punches the machine countless times with incredible strength then rise up to the Egg capsule and starts punching away. Until shattering the cockpit door before punching Eggman numerous times in the face. Before punching him in the face so hard that Eggman and his giant robot is sent flying into the walls. His head swelled up and mouth bleeding, Eggman fires off an array of numerous giant plasma blasts which Sonic kicks away only for Eggman to use it as a feint and grab him with the left grappler claw and attempts to crush Sonic. "Just fucking die already!" Eggman screams. "I've won! I've won! I fucking won! All of my work, all of my plans have reached their zenith! And I will not be stopped!" Eggman tries to crush Sonic with all its might and power only for the machine to spark and leak. Destroying itself due to sheer stress while Sonic was unharmed. Malice then explodes around the two as Eggman tries to skewer Sonic with the malice spikes with Sonic using an ignite boost which burns up the malice while avoids the Egg Omega's cannon arm that blast the walls of the room. Causing the Calamity castle to be torn apart as the two continue their fight. Malice spikes also erupt, commanded by Eggman to attack Sonic. Raging at the hedgehog as his eyes glow crimson as Sonic boosts at the speed of light as he crashes onto the Egg Omega who fires off barrages of missiles which are diverted by Sonic using his wind powers which explode on top of the machine leaving Eggman in a panic and going front and back between his Julian Robotnik voice and Eggman's voice and persona. "Curse you Sonic! Curse you!" "Eggman! I will stop you once and for all!" Eggman simply readies his buster arm and prepares to fire. "Are you really going to kill me? A superhero like you doesn't kill. And you've never had what it takes! Sonic the hedgehog!" Sonic grimly resigns himself by muttering. "I know that... But, I can't allow this continue." Egg Omega's buster charge maxes out and prepares to fire only for Sonic to vanish with a sonic boom. In an instant the buster arm is ripped apart followed by a power surge that tore apart and destroyed the Egg Omega in a colossal manner only for another vessel to escape from the explosion. A golden colored four armed torso shaped craft with four wing thrusters. With the four arms holding the embryo which is now a smaller sphere with Eggman waist deep on the top of the machine connected by large power cables with a chiseled golden body. The craft escapes firing off golden lasers which finish destroying Calamity Castle as Sonic chases after it.
Eggman Embryo
The adversary
Going full throttle Super Sonic flew towards the Eggman Embryo who launched malice mines on Sonic which explode in proximity. "I don't need to beat you Sonic! All I need is to corrupt the embryo and run out the clock." "Not if I get there first Eggman!" Sonic then boosts towards the craft only to get swatted by the four arms. Firing off golden ivy vines to tangle one of the arms Sonic then used clones to bombard the weak points which caused the arm to explode only to quickly regenerate. "It's no use Sonic!" Eggman boasts as he summons meteors which Sonic avoid, only for them to turn around then scatter in an attempt to trap Sonic. The blue blur dodges as best he can but soon the meteors surround him and prepare to slowly crush him when they are all destroyed by an unlikely figure. "Knuckles, how?" "I'm not so sure myself. This girl that looks like Madoka's older sister did this." "Older sister?" "Yeah, long hair, gold eyes white robes, breasts. And i'm not the only one." Both notice that the Eggman Embryo is being struck by lightning causing it to slow down. Said lightning being sent down by Tails himself who simply waves back. Followed by a revived Momonga machine which heads of to their left and fires multiple lasers at the arms successfully breaking them while another warrior drops from above and cuts the other two arms which after a moment are severed. "I have once again cut a worthless object." An unmasked Kagemusha comments as Momonga machine turns back into Monika. With Amy coming in from below and stealing the embryo, taking it away and giving Eggman the stink eye as well. Eggman is then caught by a net as Sticks who is screaming like a maniac, holds on from dear life. Bonking the doctor with his boomerang before he breaks free and tries to strangle the badger only for his body to stop as Touka secures the Embryo and lifts up Sticks complaining. "The law of cycles truly is a busybody." Everyone then gathers around Sonic who is overjoyed and relieved at seeing everyone. An annoyed Sticks remarks. "Who is that girl with the black hair?" "Nobody, I'm here simply to pay back a debt." A slightly confused Sticks remarks. "Well, nice to meet you Nobody! I'm Sticks." Monika chuckles a bit in the background being the first time she was genuinely happy in a good long while.
Eggman breaks down in frustration. "If I can't get the universe I want. Then I will kill every single one of you!" Eggman turns around and fires all of his weapons which blast the whole group. "So what's the plan?" Knuckles asks to which Sonic answers. "Beats me, activating the embryo won't be easy when you have a maniac shooting everything." At that moment a missile barrage explodes leading to more injuries. Touka then secretly lights a match while muttering. "Pennen Nonde, I sacrifice my life to create a miracle." A field of light spreads across the stars as her body twitched and sparked as a bird monster with matchstick wings appears behind her and dissipates. "Only four left... Everyone! Use access code!" Everyone's drivers begin to glow as they get ready. "Access code!" With Touka finishing with. "Super Arc!" As the light blinds Eggman as the blasts and missiles are consumed by light. And all of the others becomes shooting stars.
"Memorize! The time has come! Body! Mind! Heart! Love! Will! Friendship! Duty! Loyalty! Arc, Arc, Arc, Super Arc!"
With Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles merging into Sonic Arc with his arms retracting and limbs based off Momonga machine and Karasu machine are inserted in the right and left arms with the left arm having a bird head for a hand Touka and Sticks become the legs. Connecting as boot like parts with Sticks being on the right and Touka in the left. With Sticks boomerang serving as a retractable foot blade and wing thrusters on the heels. The entire body begins to glow gold as a chest medal appears on the chest and Sonic's quill spike upwards with two cape tassels serving as wings. Finishing with a streamlined Rose sword taking the shape of a broadsword which Sonic grabs with his right hand and points it forward in the Yuusha robo pose.
Super Sonic Arc
The strongest miracle
Ost: Future guardian, Kamen Rider Zi-O
Dr. Eggman looks on in horror as the golden giant rose and then resolves himself as its components regenerate and the two start fighting each other. Going up close they begins punching each other before firing off another blast that is conquered by a roundhouse that creates an explosion driving both off before clashing again with Sonic drawing his sword to counter the iron nails in the Embryo's hands. With another energy blast between them. With Sonic going to the left and unleashing his right arm which held a double Gatling gun. Forcing Eggman to take distance before sucker punching Sonic Arc in the gut. Sonic draws out a scythe which Eggman flips over the attack before launching razor wires which tangle up the left arm and then shocks it in the process. Summoning a Rose trigger Sonic shoots off the wires and then Knuckles asks. "Why can't we switch?!" "Sorry the Super Arc can't switch forms. But in exchange it can use their powers." Tails and Knuckles nod in unison as funnels deploy from the Arc and shoot the Embryo while both arms transform into the ones from Knuckles Arc. "Burning Knuckle!" "Fox Firing!" With both abilities being fired off at the same time. Followed by a blade extended upward kick that gouges the machines front who fires off a shotgun scatter blast to cause it to fly off as Sonic bounces back as releases the left arm blade which allows it to speed thru and deliver multiple sword slashes. And switching over to a tomahawk to strike the arm joints which is fought up and given a punch to the face. Both of them backing off by firing off all their beams causing massive destruction as well as having the sky light up the night skies. "Pesky little hedgehog. At this rate the effects of the ROCC will end. It's now or never so get a load of this!" Eggman fumes, having reverted to his Eggman self. Eggman then detaches from the embryo leaving Sonic Arc confused before firing the lower half, sending it on an explosive crash course that wrecked most of the Arc now having lost its legs, left arm, a good chunk of the body and left it dead in the sky as it plummeted into the ground. With Tails piloting skills being what prevents anything worse. Touka comments. "Congratulations Tails. You finally landed a plane safely." Tails chuckles in embarrassment as Sonic detaches from the combination. Amy asks what is he doing to which Sonic states that he is finishing the fight and to ready the embryo. As if on cue a Golden Eggman appears with a chiseled body devoid of a shirt, his mustache spiked upward and wild flowing hair with the doctor regenerating his glasses. Everyone but Sonic is shocked at the sight of Super Eggman with Knuckles commenting. "Holy crap, he's hot!" To which the others called him out.
"Eggman." Sonic." The duo stared down each other before going back up after transferring the emeralds while reverting back to Super Sonic Omen to the now headless Arc.. With Tails guiding the others in repairing the Arc. As they go upwards Eggman begins to talk. "So, let's hear it. The usual taunts and insults. The same ridicule that got me stuck with my name." Sonic simply flies upward. Silent and determined. Which actually unnerves Eggman for a bit. "Oh come on! Do you really think you can kill me? You need me! Without me you wouldn't exist. You're just another of my creations like Metal and Sage. Or do you really plan to go back to a peaceful life?" Sonic curtly responds with. "Metal is dead. He was annihilated by the same monsters that destroyed your empire." Eggman nonchalantly responds with. "Meh, I've already replaced him twice. So who cares?" Sonic simply looks at Eggman once more. Silent, furious, and judgmental. Until finally reaching their destination. Where the two charged up their fists and swung. Only for Eggman to purposefully miss and take the blow as a sphere of darkness rose to the heavens erupting into a black hole. Shocked Sonic demands to know what he did to which Eggman replied. "I call it Operation Rage Quit. If I can't become god. NO ONE WILL!" Sonic tries to fight but is sucked up alongside Eggman who continue their battle while trying to outrun the black hole. With both parties keeping up with each other while beating each other up.
The battered Arc is also being pulled up by the black hole alongside what is essentially ruins and rock with Kagemusha complaining about it. "Seriously? Why is it always black holes?" Monika responds with. "At least you can live through it. The rest of us are hosed." Sticks retorts with. "You're making that up right?" Touka states that Kagemusha really did go through a black hole which the badger refusing to believe. Tails cuts in by saying that he is done. And somehow not only does the wrecked Arc starts flying. But the head of Super Sonic Arc is replaced by Tails own, popping out like a turtle's head who begins to fly towards the hole. "What now?" Amy asks. "Get ready to bail on mark everyone." As the fight continued between Sonic and Eggman the two are engaged in a wrestling lock as they are being sucked into oblivion. "Face it Sonic. We are two sides of the same coin. Without me, you're nothing!" Sonic senses the Arc and simply says no before breaking away to Eggman's shock. Being caught unaware by the giant robot belly flopping into him as the rest of Team Sonic and company flee, carrying the chaos emeralds and the embryo to avoid the hole. Meanwhile Eggman can only scream as both him and the Arc are swallowed up by the black hole which then collapses on itself and explodes for good measure. With Sonic finishing his sentence. "Unlike you Eggman, I have friends. People who care about me. So I can move on from you. Sayonara, Dr. Robotnik." As everyone falls a bright light consumes what left of Spiral mountain. And then there is silence.
The in-between
Sonic finds himself in an empty white void questioning where everyone else is. Then a woman's voice calls out to the hedgehog. "Thank you Sonic. And I apologize." "Who are you?" The figure of an older Madoka Kaname with white robes, angel wings, and golden eyes who smiles at the hedgehog with a warm but melancholic manner. "As you can see i'm Madoka. Once upon a time I used to be a goddess and watched over all magic. But then I was betrayed. For countless millennia I slept. Sealed away for my mistakes and later forced to see all the destruction I caused." "You know it's all right. You just did what you thought was right. Never forget kid. You don't need a reason to do the right thing." Madoka cheers up and comments. "No wonder Homura-chan looks up to you." Sonic simply puts his hands in the back of his head and laughs. "Anyways, it's time." Madoka vanishes as the seven chaos emerald rotate around him turning him into Super Sonic followed by the embryo. Closing his eyes to focus he then yells. "Chaos control!" As power bursts from the embryo which explodes causing a big bang that re-creates the universe.
A younger Madoka and Homura are then seen in Mikitihara with their friends following suit. Now living all together in a world without incubators, magical girls, or witches as the sun sets in the horizon.
To be concluded
Knuckles comments about an evil Tails are a reference to both Nine and Miles Prower. Two of the more notable evil alternate versions of Tails alongside several fan depictions of an evil Tails from a website I do not remember that also had a brainwashed evil Sonic comic.
And yeah, Eggman is dead. Even with his super form his body would be torn apart by the gravity well. After all Kagemusha only survived her trip thru a black hole via preparation for such a situation.
