"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" Elise's voice jumpscared Sonic and Mega Man.

"Who are you!?" Maria pulled out her literal hand cannon.

"Elise the Third! I repeat: you're being possessed by Solaris!" Shadow warned Elise.

"Solaris? Elise? Who?" Both figures are confused.

"Wait... Maria Robotnik!?" Elise found out. "And two of our guinea pigs..."

"Sorry, Solaris, but you messed with the wrong... expedition!" Sonic mocked Solaris inside Elise.

Elise groaned, and the voice disappeared.

"Are you gods?" Sonic asked. "Who are you?"

"You got to be kidding me, Maria. Why release two strangers would could kill us?" Shadow is exasperated. "The listing on the tubes said they're... Transcendent Gods. How can we stop them if they..."

"They're heroes. They protects their own world, just like you do these days, Shadow." Maria explained. "And with my illness behind me now, I can finally help them get back to their world, as well as help you save all existence."

"Habaki? Rindou? Are these your names?" Mega Man asked. "I am Mega Man, and this blue guy is Sonic the Hedgehog. Nice to meet you, please don't kill us."

"Yeah, what Rock says." Sonic agreed. "Welcome to our unified army!"

"I am Shadow the Hedgehog. The ultimate lifeform!" Shadow introduced himself.

"Yes, we saved our multiverse and unleashed the Seventh Heaven." The male replied.

"We led the Eastern Expedition. You're basically saying that you have your expedition as well?" The female noted.

"Who are you? Why even your casual fit seem so... eldritch?" Maria asked.

"Habaki Sakagami."/"坂上 覇吐"

"Rindou Suzuka Koga."/"久雅 竜胆 鈴鹿"

The two's introduction only alienated the co., but...

"Us Taikyoku and our Eastern Expidition embarked to defeat Tenma Yato and the Yatsukahagi... only for that to unleash Hajun and nearly destroy our multiverse." Rindou explained. "We used Shokou - the Yaoyorozu - a.k.a. Dawn Mandala, to end the Sixth Heaven. We healed our homeworlds and resided in the Seventh Heaven."

An Eggforcer ambushed Habaki, but he simply turned his Sakagami Heirloom - a multi-mode sword with shapeshifting - to slash it down.

"Ha!" Sonic scoffed. "Let's get going!"

The gang then went to the rest of the unified army, intending for Maria and the two to join. At the dusk comes, the army are now in front of the way to the sixth floor, where the main engineering took place. Sonic phased in, and authorized.

"Hello." Habaki greeted the unified army.

The unified army arrived at the sixth floor, with the Deadly Six and Nicole ready to hijack and take over the main engineer sites which are currently used to mass-produce mooks such as the (corrupted) Eggforcers and animal friends-powered Roboticized Masters. Cue the siren alarm.

"Oh my god." Silver facepalmed.

"We're gods!" Habaki corrected Silver.

The robots from the site confronts the unified army, and they're easily dispatched thanks to the much more powerful arsenal from Habaki and Rindou, with the help of Sonic and Mega Man. This also left the rest of the army, including Maria, to ambush the rest of those serving on this floor. By the night, the sixth floor are taken over.

"It's far easier now that you've joined us!" Sonic hi-fives with Habaki.

"Nicole, you helped us!" Sage noticed the holo-lynx. "How are you able to bypass the dream and hack this floor?"

"The dream serum works on me too. And then I was able to hack a Star Ring, and become overclocked." Turns out, it was Overclocked Nicole. "Then I was able to bypass the dream and work on the sixth floor you're currently in."

"Wait... Sally touched a Star Ring?" Boom!Sonic heard it. "And how?"

"Thanks to Sally, I was able to overclock myself!" Nicole exclaimed. "She took advantage of her roboticization, and extended her arm to collect a Star Ring from Orbot and Cubot! Those two seems to be... coverted."

"What!?" Sonic is shocked.

"Orbot... Cubot..." Eggman panicked. "They're... corrupted!"

"Quick thinking, Sally." Sage shrugged.

"See you in Cyber Dream." Nicole then phased out.

The unified army had a dinner together on the sixth floor, before going to sleep. Once again, they're in the Cyber Dream.

"Everyone!" Prime!Shadow called the army. "Listen to me!"

"Hello, Shadow." Prime!Rouge called.

"Wait... where are we?" Habaki looked around. "Rindou, this place... huh?"

It was a recreation of Ashihara no Nakatsukuni (葦原中国), a.k.a. the Shinshuu, the two's original homeworld.

"This is our home. But... why?" Rindou replied.

"This is so... ancient Chun-nan..." Sonic shrugged.

"You meant Japan." Nightmare Rose commented.

"What? Who are you!?" Rindou heard it.

"Ok, let us explain... First I found out that the Phantom Ruby and the Paradox Prism are used together to compress my timeline in my world. I got to reunite with past allies and even the Eggmen, and then we were told by President Miles to recruit the Shatterspaces. Then after the explosion of the spaces, Hyper Genesis Wave happened, and shadow saved us using Chaos Control. Two weeks later, I got back, re-gathered again, and then went to kill some corrupted Thorndyke. Then we joined this unified army thanks to Mega Man." Sonic explained. "The following day, which is today, Delphinus blasted the wall, and us army entered the castle. We got into this merged Cyber Space and Dream world for the first time, meeting princess Sally Acorn, the A.I. Nicole, and that Julie-Su. Volnutt with Scourge's help sprinkled the dream serum nightmare Rose designed, allowing the army to communicate through daydreams! We got back, destroyed Grim Tails, revisited Spin Dash Blast, freed you both and Maria, and finally take over the sixth floor!"

After some more context revealed to the two, Habaki and Rindou finally understood what's going on.

"Our multiverse, affected by the Wave..." Rindou realized. "That must mean the Throne... is in danger."

"Let's travel!" Habaki clapped. "From west to east!"

The destination is Edo... or a recreation thereof. However, as the unified army walks, the duo found out some inconsistencies, starting with the freezing of Awaumi Sea.

"Huh? It's frozen!" Habaki gets suspicious.

No sign of Tenma Awaumi at all. The unified army then arrived at Fuwa-no-Seki. It's now fused with the Chemical Plant.

"What!?" Rindou is baffled. "What are these?"

"Platform time!" The rest of the unified army then split up to do their ways across.

"Hey! Wait for us!" Habaki leapt through alongside Rindou.

The leaping however caused great momentum, leading both to a pace as fast as Sonic himself. A few leaps followed afterwards out of travel, and they crossed at the same time as Sonic did.

"Wow. You're fast!" Sonic is surprised.

"Huh." Habaki looked around.

The unified army followed, and it's on the village of Kinasa. It's different too, now serving as a twisted grave to every single threats Sonic has faced until the moment the Phantom Ruby affected the Paradox Prism.

"Dark Gaia!?" Chip is shocked, but then his small body itched. "Ugh! It hurts!"

"What's happening? Amy took notice.

"Guys... be careful!" Prime!Shadow warned the army.

"Eh, who is... what?" Habaki spotted a statue of Eggman.

"What!?" Eggman is shocked.

"My... statue..." Robotnik is flabbergasted.

"Ivo..." Maria sighed.

"What...?" Eggman gets embarassed.

"Maria?" Sage is confused.

"Chaos..." Boom!Sticks gazes at an apparition of Perfect Chaos.

The army moved on to Hakone, which has become the Eggmanland, Eggpolis, Ego City and various versions of Eggman's paradises (excluding the Chaos Council's New Yoke) merged together. Eggman is immediately ecstatic, and declared that once the mysterious hedgehog is defeated for good and the multiverses are saved, he will defeat Sonic himself and rule over his world once and for all. However, Rindou slapped the doctor.

"Hey! These are traps in dreams!" Rindou warned Eggman.

Strolling the paradise, the army arrived at Mount Fuji, which "thankfully" appear normal, even the cave itself.

"Phew! This place is normal for us!" Habaki then entered the cave.

The unified army entered, only to find out that the ruins of the Ancients' civilization are mixed with that of Gladsheimr. Team Superstars members facepalmed, except Sage.

"The Ancients' stuffs, now appear to lies in Gladsheimr." Sage commented. "Still no sign of direct threats."

"We don't see any of the Tenmas. What's up?" Rindou looked around.

The army went to Sado Suwahara, a.k.a. the Suwahara City. This place surprisingly appears to be in its former glory.

"Tenma Yato's old place." Habaki commented. "It look... almost pristine."

"Huh." Merlina looked around.

The army went to Tsukinosawa High, the high school in the city. It's littered with the remains of the original Grim Robots.

"My creations!" Nine gasped. "Oh my gosh..."

"That 'gosh' was close." Rindou shrugged.

A little girl with pink hair with black eyes with red scleras, and is wearing a small Nazi-like outfit.

"Tenma... Numahime!" Habaki and Rindou recognized her face.

"Kikei! Fukumetsu! Get into the school! Now!" The little girl, Tenma Numahime?

Anyways, the girl crouched down into her own shadow and blitzed. The army followed, and...

"Crap!" Tenma Sukuna(?) witnessed something horrific. "Fujii!"

"Huh?" Sonic arrived at the scene.

"Sonic! Look! The Metal Virus has... so long!" Prime!Shadow called. "I'm gonna call the Watcher!"

"Who are these... gods?" Sonic have no idea.

"The Hegemony Gods. They have been infected." Tenma Ootake(?) groaned.

"Why the Yatsukahagi... horrified?" Habaki is confused.

"Nightmare Rose..." Tenma Morei(?) cursed that. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?"

"You annoying demon pests, the Yatsukahagi... the Longinus Dreizen Orden dumbasses... I put those so-called gods in their real place." Nightmare Rose revealed.

"Isn't that... the Metal Virus!?" Boom!Sonic pointed it out. "That's why their skins and their shits are metallized and polished! They're falling victim to-"

"Guys... avenge us... save... everything..." Ren Fuji, the Moment, Tenma Yato, has spoken. "Tell the outsiders... Zarathustra... lost mouth... must scream..."

"Fujii!"/"Yato!"

"Oh my goodness... how did the mysterious hedgehog use the Metal Virus!?" Sonic looked up to the voice.

"They're resisting it. Using their powers to fend off the enhanced Metal Virus. It could turn multiversal gods into zombified machines... Zombots!" Nightmare Rose revealed. "Oh, and I also trapped the pests in the dream so I could-"

"Yeah yeah yeah, torture them like hell." Sonic scoffed. "You did enough to Ariem. You're doing the same thing to the goddamn... demonic Yatsukahagi guys, yeah? Boo!"

"All those bullcraps normally would cost us existence. But we outwitted them. Hijacked the Throne, and infect them with Metal Virus so gods could scream!" Nightmare Rose laughed, while the scene refreshed back to normal. "With the Phantom Ruby and the Paradox Prism blessing us... there's nothing we cannot do."

"Everyone! Run! It must be a trap!" Sonic screamed.

Cue the unified army and the Yatsukahagi(?) running away from the now-exploding Tsukinosawa High. Cue a resulting nuke which decimates the whole city... phased off from all by Nicole herself.

"Ugh..." Sukuna got up.

Everyone got up, and in front of Nicole, Sally and Julie-Su.

"Who... are you...?" Numahime have no idea who they are.

"Wait... aren't these..." Sally squinted her eyes. "The Yatsukahagi? Or the LDO?"

"What?" The Yatsukahagi are confused.

"Hey, strange ones." Habaki waved on Sally.

"My name is Sally Acorn. Now-robian, princess tactician." Sally introduced herself. "This is Nicole, my A.I. friend, and Julie-Su, a cyber-survivor. We are here partly because we consumed a serum Nightmare Rose designed."

"Do you have any spare serum after Volnutt gave us?" Mega Man asked.

"Sure. The serum is actually made of Dreamweave code. It reprograms dream to allow for daydream communication." Sally gave the serum to the newcomers.

"Thanks." Tenma Tokoyo(?) thanked.

"What's your names?" Amy asked.

"If we were to speak the real names, our location would be exposed, whether it's waking world or the dream world." Sukuna shrugged. "Here, take this sketch."

The paper sketch has the face of each members scribbled, and tagged with their demon names, their titles and their real names in it.

"Do this paper even..." Sonic shrugged.

Sage simply captured and downloaded the sketch.

"Good." Tenma Akuro(?) took back the paper.

Suddenly, a ghost appeared behind the Yatsukahagi, but Rindou was able to turn the Longinus into an arrow. The duo drew the bow quick, and...

"Tenma Fukumetsu!"/"天魔覆滅!"

Cue the arrow instantly striking Nightmare Rose as she was blitzing. The frustrated false Amy pulled it out, reverted it and threw it back to Numahime.

"Yikes!" Numahime screamed, evading the lance.

"Wait... this lance sear out those not chosen!" Rindou realized something about Nightmare Rose. "She is..."

"Oh, what? You're saying we're bypassing that bullshit with the blessings from the Ruby?" Nightmare Rose laughed.

"What!? Overclocked Phantom Ruby can even handle Taikyoku, distortions and emanations!?" Boom!Sticks is baffled.

"How did you know... Did these demons tell you!?" Nightmare Rose immediately D-Dived, and targeted the Yatsukahagi.

Habaki simply blocked the false Amy, and grinned.

"Ye do good! Yaaarrr!" Black Rose exclaimed.

"Retainer of Rindou Koga... the supreme commander of the holy land's Eastern Expedition... Habaki Sakagami!" Habaki declared, before knocking Nightmare Rose off. "If it isn't Nightmare Rose of the so-called Team Shatter..."

"It's time... to go jan-ken-poooooooon!" Alex Kidd enlarged his fist.

The unified army charged to the false Amy for a dramatic brawl in the Cyber Dream, and the Dragon Quarter responded by go clash with all of them, all at once, and take the dream with.

"In your fucking DREAMS!" Nightmare Rose ended up clashing to the point of shaking the space.

The emanation and the mania meets the nightmare and Dragon Quarter in one package, and its shocked all the physical bodies involved, and caused some noise on the dream world itself. The collective crash shook the minds connected to Dreamweave, and it disrupted the process... and for the first time, it's...

"Sonic... friends... you... you came to... rescue me... Please... please... save Reverie... save... the dreams... save... all... of... us..."

To be continued...
