"Thanks goodness the rescue went well and they calmed me down. I got back to my sense and state, and realized what really happened to the worlds!" Mina recounted. "Those monsters... they have to be erased!"

"Volnutt managed to break the locks using his blaster and thus save us both... both, but then he fled for his own safety and concealment." Manic explained their escape himself. "I were going to unlock other cages and save everyone, but I figured I wasted enough time, and I noticed Ms. Mongoose mumbling."

"I was devastated. I became depressed. Prior, I became burned, forcibly deaf and blind all over in one moment." Mina sat down in a rock. "Then a quick moment later, I was-"

"Kidnapped by the corrupted robots, didn't you." Robotnik added.

Mina simply nod in relief, having finally calmed everyone down.

"Oh wow. We were... oh no. I'm two AIs in one! I really am! How didn't I remember the full sets!?" Nicole is surprised.

"Am I supposed to continue being robian, or get retroactively deroboticized?" Sally sighed.

"Y'all calmed down. Know we were kidnapped and sent to different captivities." Julie-Su pats her blaster.

"Finally... found you!" Nightmare Rose voiced the scene.

"I knew it... we might've been distracted here..." Infinite noticed. "Izanami... now!"

"Fine. I won't go ambushed." Rindou quickly loaded Longinuslanze onto her bow.

"Oh my god... we're spotted!" Scourge is frustrated.

"Tenma Fukumetsu!" *releases*

Nightmare Rose emerged, catching the arrow. "I knew it. You would all gather together and undermine us."

"You..." Team Sonic is disgusted.

"The Dreamweaver did nothing wrong!" X called the false Amy out.

Nightmare Rose whipped up her axe. "Oh, really?"

She swings the axe to create dozens of energy blades, made of the nightmares itself, to everyone.

"Dodge! These blades break us!" Habaki evaded.

Evade and fire!

"Hmph." Nightmare Rose crouched to the ground. "Take this!"

A massive roundabout sweep from the axe covering the grounds, forcing them all to jump.

"Here goes nothing! We Spin Dash!" Team New Yoke performed Spin Dash.

Nightmare Rose blocked them with the blunt side of the axe. Rindou thrusted to the false Amy, but the Dragon Quarter spinned out of the way... except because Longinuslanze never miss, the lance ended up pricking on the quill.

"Fire!" Habaki shoots compressed ki on the false Amy, followed by gunfire for Heroes of Tommorrow and the Robot Masters.

"Roll roll roll!" Billy Hatcher and friends rolls the Moon Mech.

The World Warrior coordinated combos on Nightmare Rose, but she shrugged the mostly human blows coming from the fighters. But Ryu-5 has other ideas.

"Odjn... She's nuts!" Cue Ryu-5 D-Diving.

-*cracks* Ryu-5 did a bone-breaking whack right on false Amy's head.

"Row ahead!" Sonic Spin-dashed on Nightmare Rose.

"Mega Buster!" Mega Man, Proto Man, X, Axl and some hunters with guns unloaded onto the Dragon Quarter.

"We kept her down. Now we run!" Eggman clapped before fleeing.

"Ok, go!" Julie-Su rushed out.

"Before she gets up!" Sonia ran for living.

The unified army and the co. fled to the Zero Point, taking advantage of the stun before the inevitable transformation.

"Watch out! The Zero Point isn't calibrated!" Prime!Shadow warned everyone. "Your existence will be literally shredded into beyond if you go straight onto it!"

"The more you learn." Sonic stopped just right before the orb. "Everyone, stop! We need to find some way around it."

"I think from our tenure with this Island..." Chun-Li caught on. "The Zero Point connects every-"

"Boo!" Nightmare Rose D-Dived, jumpscaring everyone.

"Gahhh!" Everyone except gods and Sonic stepped back.

"Dragon Quarter..." Gilius Thunderhead called false Amy out.

"A twisted mirror me, corrupted by outside forces." Amy scowls while holding her hammer. "We have enough."

"THAT'S IT!" Sonic boosted in place, thus forcibly tapping into the Speed Force.

Nightmare Rose blitzed to the army, but it was too late: Sonic managed to effectively stopped time around him and accelerated himself into lightspeed-level multiplier of speed... *smash* He struck her off with Spin Dash, to the point the area just glitched. The impact has enough energy and force to directly devastate an entire solar system... it directed right onto the dragon hedgehog, sending her meteor-speed down to the Zero Point.

The time blast by Spin Dash briefly flashed the entire landscape, due to the sheer amount of energy resulting from the speed itself.

"Ugh..." Ootake received the flash.

The area rumbled, shaking some mysterious torture system outright.

"Not torture again..." Ootake broke free. "Death, O glorious, final death! Savior of man! My heart, drowned in venom, ravaged by time, may beat its last within your embrace. May spear's wound, may venom's bane, all perish at your coming."

"What the!?" Enerjak could feel it.

"Aye, behold! This festering void gnawing at my soul... This life-blood, its crimson pearls feeding the earth; this malice, ever coursing my veins―behold!" The Machina shifts to his mechanical arms. "Clasp your blade, draw your steel! And plunge deep, deep till the hilt!"

"Amy! What's going on!?" Enerjak noticed.

"Hark, brave knights, and know this: As the sinner finds his last refuge, his anguish done. So shall divine light be shower'd from the heavens above." The fists become the absolute end, as the monster go... "Briah - Midgardr Völsunga Saga!"

The torture system crumbled and dissipated, freeing all of the Tai-Aztiluth. Enerjak accessed the area, donning the armored attired associated with the true Enerjak, but it was too late. The demons have freed themselves again, and this time, they knew what really transpired.

"Who created this ass system!?" Sukuna wised up. "How many time have you ruined us!?"

"No... Not again!" Enerjak channel his Chaos and went to suppress the Tai-Aztiluth altogether. "Know your place!"

"Acetaminophen, Argatroban, Aleviatin, Abilify Cravit, Klaricid Glucobay. Zyroric, Jzoloft, Cefzon, Theodur, Tegafur, Tegretol. Depas, Depakine Toledomin Nu-lotan Norvasc." Sukuna attempts to counter the Chaos force. "Lendormin Lipitor Rheumatrex Erythematodes. Fulminant, hepatitis, Pulmonary fibrosis Autoimmune-"

Sukuna took too long to chant, and so were blasted by the brainwashed Knuckles.

"You're not quick!" Numahime knew.

"Do you even know how long the chanting takes?" Enerjak spread the Chaos, trying to overwhelm the team.

"随神相!" Oootake summoned a Cerberus-like demon, trying to kill Enerjak from there on out.

None accounted to the power of the Phantom Ruby, which Enerjak is 'blessed' on top of his innate Chaos energy. The Chaos demi-god simply tore the demon.

"Child's play. Normal gods would die to that pup." Enerjak choked Ootake. "But we are built different. The overclocked Phantom Ruby rejects all oppositions. You are nothing to us. Mich-"

Cue Enerjak getting shot by Sukuna.

"Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome." Sukuna picked up back from where he left. "Taikyoku - Malignant Tumor Apoptasis!"

"AAAAARGH!" Enerjak in pain as the Chaos energy is finally countered, bypassing the Phantom Ruby.

"Get out!" Momiji fled the scene.

The team escaped the torture area, now with the most understanding of the torture they underwent for the days past. Enerjak's back at the waking world, jerking and wriggling due to the counter inflicted by Sukuna.

"Knuckles!" The hedgehog found Enerjak. "What's happened!?"

"They've escaped again... this time, they..." Enerjak passed out.

"Sonic!" Tails got Sonic up. "You speed out the Force!"

"I did... is she gone?" Sonic shaked his head.

"For now. We have to get out." Julie-Su then realized. "Wait, I didn't tell you about my friend! My dear Saffron! She disappeared as I was brought to the cell!"

The unified army was to go out and wake up, but a bright rift cracking the atmosphere appeared. It brought the Tai-Aztiluth.

"We finally knew what has been happening to us!" Numahime revealed what happened. "The evil ones tortured us, keeping our bodies in a big, strange cage!"

"What!?" The army is clearly thrown out the loop.

"Also, that Knuckles guy just attacked us because we freed ourselves. We put him down, and got out." Sukuna looked around. "Wait... where are we now?"

"A dream recreation of Reality Zero, though... where are your bodies?" Silver cut to the chase.

"The cage? Ok, so it is from the 20th floor, where all kinds of systems and stuffs started. This may have included whatever device used to create the Hyper Genesis Wave." Tokoyo recalled. "If you may ask, please note that from the 16th floor onward will be twice as tall and just over half the first 15 which serves as base."

"How did you know about all the upcoming floors?" Sage wondered.

"We found a blueprint of the actual castle right here in the dream world, showing the dimensions." Tokoyo revealed a blueprint of the castle. "Here, take this."

Meanwhile...

"Ugh... thanks godnness it's literally just a dream..." Nightmare Rose feels like she's drunk, due to recreation of the Zero point effects. "Knuckles?"

"They have escaped again, and this time, they got us!" Enerjak realized. "Now, we must take them over and riff them! Tails, get to the 20th floor!"

"What's going on?" Miles came to the loop.

The two then told the brainwashed president what happened within the Cyber Dream.

"Alright, I got the vampire cracking." The hedgehog clapped.

"Huh? What did you do?" The three noticed.

"Get to the top floor." The hedgehog rushed to the place.

A man gagged in bandages is horrified. A circular machine with a literal clock for a receiver, and powered by dimensional stuffs.

"This is a time machine." The hedgehog removed the bandage.

"You horrible monsters... I didn't do anything wrong!" A vampire by the name: Kado Thorne.

"Apparently, this machine operate on rifts, to access Hypertime and travel to other timelines, any time." The hedgehog explained. "This one is so good. We can use it however we want."

"I'm setting this machine, just tell me the time period." Miles working on the time machine. "Which time do you want?"

The unified army arrived at the 16th floor. It was the top end of a base, with a slender tower on the center. A panoramic view of the desolated unified world.

"This world gets uglier the more we look." X commented.

"Yeah, and it's... really like an upgrade to Nine's Grim place.." Sonic looked around. "And look! This world is decaying!"

"Yeah, that's not how Paradox Prism should be used." Nine agreed.

"Ok, I'm daydreaming." Volnutt called the army. "Uh... we gotta go, because they found out about us."

"Meet us at the 20th floor." Sage called.

"Got it! Wait... who are you again, little girl?" Manic replied.

"Sage." Eggman then entered the tower.

The army entered the tower comprising the 16th floor and above.

"Danger! Danger!" Dozens of Roboticized Masters caught on.

They're quite easily dispatched.

"Go go go!" Luke just punched a Tails Man.

The army quickly cleared out those and some Eggforcers, and the gateways just shut off. Sonic phased through...

"Too bad, Speed Force turns me into speed ghost." Sonic struck down the guard which closed the gate: A copy of Gemerl. "Gemerl!?"

The gate then author-red and opened.

"Wait... The robot...!" Shadow noticed.

"Is this... Gemerl!?" Sonic is shocked. "As for the biometrics... Nicole ran out of Star Rings so I can't tell her to overclock and overcome."

"No. Not your Gemerl." Volnutt deconfirmed. "These bots are only based on Gemerl. They're killing machines. The real Gemerl has been scrapped because its combat abilities posed a threat to the empire!"

"Huh... Hah!" Big the Cat sobs.

"Gemerl... destroyed?" Sonic is horrified.

"I'm afraid... it's most likely the case. They must have tried to destroy Gemerl. It's scrapped. They succeeded in at least taking it out of the equation." Volnutt sighed.

"No! Cream will be horrified about this then! No!" Charmy threw out.

"The rabbit girl is already traumatized! She's being used to lure the Dreamweaver!" Volnutt revealed. "It's how Nightmare Rose were able to locate her!"

"Evil ones... we'll kill them all!" Eggman rushed to the 17th floor.

Meanwhile, four Genesis Portals, showing different incarnations, has been fired.

"Oh, cool. If the Zero connects all worlds... We've having a field day about this." The hedgehog grinned.

"No! It's mine! MINE!" Thorne wailed.

A fifth Genesis Portal fired, showing a whole new incarnation. This one, with both the underworld and Mount Olympus placed in it.

"The Island is mine! It's mine!" Thorne at the mercy of Enerjak.

"Silence!" Enerjak slammed the vampire down with Chaos force.

"Good good good..." Miles gave a thumb-up. "It's so awesome! None will oppose us again, when we are done."

"Oh, it can even access any metaphysical toys from across existence. Just tune in." The hedgehog laughed.

"You evil scums! I am the one and only man-" Thorne is then punched down.

"Kado Thorne. Thank you for adding this to our collection." The hedgehog stepped off, and prepared a spin.

A Spin Dash filled with rainbow-colored blades of glitches, propagated through the powers of illusion.

"STOP!" A voice interrupted all.

"What?" The hedgehog stopped the spin.

"Thanks goodness... the CXA!" Thorne recalled.

"Tampering with the center of all existence? That's a new low, even for you!" The voice called the team out. "And abusing divine properties, trying to mess with all existence? Wow, that's Complete Monster level of excessive villainy!"

"GET. OUT." The hedgehog threatened.

"We'll find you directly. You will regret all this." The voice threatened back.

"You cannot catch me." The hedgehog countered.

The voice disappeared, just in time Nightmare Rose came back.

"Firstly, what did I miss?" Nightmare Rose came by. "And secondly... I thought I found them, but... Oh no!"

"They've escaped!?" Enerjak freed Kado Thorne by mistake, distracted by the voice and then false Amy.

The vampire just ran off.

"Sonic! Catch him!" Nightmare Rose noticed.

"Lords and a lady, we've found a way-" Circler and Cubester came back, but saw Thorne scrambling around.

"Oh no!" Thorne saw the escape's blocked. "That's it!"

Then he ran to the time machine...
