At Glitched Hill, Silver the Hedgehog found Merlina the Wizard, Chip/Light Gaia, Trip the Sungazer, a version of Sonic who wears a scarf, and a version of Rouge the Bat who's wearing full suit.

"Where am I?" Said the other Sonic. "Hello? Tails? Knuckles? Amy? Sticks? Guys? Where are you?"

"Sir Sonic... you look different again." Merlina noticed this other Sonic.

"Sonic? You're wearing a scarf now?" Silver is confused.

Trip looked in confusion, while Chip examined the body.

"WHO ARE YOU ALL!?" This Sonic is shocked. "I'm Sonic, but not from your world!"

"What!?" The others except Rouge(?) whipped out.

"Tails? Knuckles? Amy? Even Sticks?" Turns out, it's from the Sonic Boom/Sonic Toon world. This Sonic had his own Team Sonic in his world's Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose and Sticks.

"Oh, Sonic. You look... so different now." Rouge(?) appeared in front of Boom!Sonic. "Scarf. Wears. Kinda messy."

"I am Silver the Hedgehog. Nice to meet you... Sonic?" Silver is confused. "Like, why do you look so messy?"

"My name is Merlina. Merlina the Wizard." Merlina introduced herself. "Granddaughter of the great Merlin. Pleased to meet you... again."

"It's Chip! Don't you remember me?" Chip had no idea this Sonic comes from another world. "Sonic?"

"Not the same Sonic you know." Boom!Sonic refuted. "I know there's more than one universe, but to see too many all at once... I'm scared. Even worse... my friends disappeared."

"The name's Rouge. Rouge the Bat." Rouge(?) introduced herself. "You may not like how, but I get the job done. How may I help you?"

"Where are we?" Silver asked.

Trip shrugged. No idea what Glitched Hill is. However, the Resistance members came by, carrying a comatose Infinite. The Avatar waved their hand... and then found the lot.

"Hey, Resistance! You're still going strong!" Silver laughed in relief. "Thanks goodness! Oh, and you're carrying... Infinite?"

The rest of the lot is confused about the Resistance, but Avatar greeted them as a friendly fellow, even though they've not known about any of the lot except Silver.

"We found Infinite. He's not conscious." Another member reported. "Wait... who are they?"

"Oh, Trip, I wish everyone could directly understand what you're trying to say." Merlina patted Trip, but is pricked by her armor. "Ouch!"

"You wizard, you know this creature?" Silver noticed.

"I met her and the team, including some sort of small Sonic I know..." Merlina explained that she met Classic Sonic.

"What!? Sonic!?" Silver is shocked. "Firstly, that Sonic, and now this kind of... Sonic!?"

"We know a lot about Sonic himself. We even worked with him to stop Infinite and Eggman." Another member of the Resistance explained. "The Phantom Ruby was the key."

"Hmmm... Phantom Ruby..." Silver heard it.

"What?" Merlina never heard of it.

"I kinda know the Phantom Ruby, because Silver and Sonic told me about." Chip wondered. "But I don't know how exactly it works..."

"We nearly forgot to tell you, Mr. Light Gaia." Another member of the Resistance explained. "Basically, the Phantom Ruby create and manipulate illusions to affect reality to one's own mind. But lately, it not only started to directly overwrite reality itself, but also brought in... foreign things from worlds beyond."

"Oh, that's why I woke up so suddenly, allowing me to reunite with Sonic." Chip got it.

"Thanks, I got it." Merlina thanked. "I am the dark Queen, or so the scabbard turned me out as. Because I wanted to use its to give immorality so I could save my kingdom and make it eternal. My grandfather's mistake, I was to end it. Then Sonic stopped me as the real King Arthur, and then taught me to instead enjoy what's left of the time."

"Sonic was a knight? He was the real King Arthur?" Silver then realized he was Sir Galahad in the world of Camelot. "Wait... I am... Sir Galahad!? What!? How did I remember now!?"

The hedgehog appeared as a projection. "So you've remembered something from one of your other self. Interesting."

"How!?" Silver realized something's wrong. "What? You're like Sonic... but evil..."

"I think your Phantom Ruby has to do with all this." The Resistance called the hedgehog out. "Who are you, then?"

"You are... Sir Sonic?" Merlina mistook the hedgehog, again. "Or what?"

"I look and sound like Sonic, but I am NOT Sonic." The hedgehog dismissed. "Oh, so you are the Dark Queen. You threw away the chance to save your kingdom. You basically sacrificed it and let Sonic win."

"What?!" Merlina is horrified. "Is saving my kingdom forever worth it?"

"If it wasn't for the scabbard, your kingdom will fall in one way or the another." The hedgehog explained the kingdom's eventual downfall. "So you had Sonic defeat the false King Arthur, the Black Knight, and got the scabbard. Make your kingdom eternal, did you? You nearly succeeded, yet your defeat got better of you, and you gave up any hope for the kingdom. You let it fall. How sad."

Merlina is even more horrified, shocking everyone else. The hedgehog took his free time to torment her about it, but Trip took out her spear and stanced to defend Merlina.

"Hmph. A sungazer on my way. As for the Dark Queen..." The hedgehog refuted. "You think immortality will destroy your kingdom?"

"Yes, I think so, now that i have been happier living with the beauty of my kingdom while it lasted... Now you torment me... over my... mistake..." Merlina cowered in horror. "Yes... Sonic taught me to live to the fullest... I've been better off since. But you... you mock me..."

"Sonic? He taught you to give up? Sad." The hedgehog didn't give a damn to Merlina's redemption. "Your kingdom falling down deeper that the depths of the underworld of yours. And you stopped caring once Sonic gave you a goddamn flower. What a shame."

"Enough of your rude behaviors!" Silver screamed.

"Unless you want to be crushed by my Colssus, stop pissing us off." Chip defended Merlina.

"Mr. Light Gaia is right." The Resistance agreed. "If you don't stop with your bullshit and reveal yourself, we will-"

"SILENCE! Your resistance, no pun intended, will not cut it against me!" The hedgehog vented out. "With the overclocked Phantom Ruby and the Paradox Prism, you cannot escape! I AM A GOD!"

"Paradox Prism?" Rouge(?) heard it. "Hold on..."

Everyone except Merlina looked at Rouge(?) in curiosity.

"I know the Prism, but not the specifics." Rouge(?) added. "My Sonic was going to tell me, but something attacked and we fought... and then suddenly, I ended up here."

"I examined the sign with my team, but then I got seperated and brought to this wasteland." Boom!Sonic added. "Oh, Rouge, where are you from?"

"And you look different. Your chest is smaller, and you're wearing a full-body suit." Silver noticed. "You can't be our Rouge."

"I come from a world that has been dubbed as Prime by Sonic while fighting. I got involved into the Paradox Prism." Rouge is revealed. "Sonic was about to crash into the Prism. He instead hugged Eggman. My Eggman."

"Sonic actually did crash the Prism and created the Shatterspaces." The hedgehog added. "And in the process, he created ME."

"What?" Prime!Rouge heard it.

"Dude, no way!" Everyone else except Merlina and Trip are shocked.

"Once Sonic crashed, he shattered the Prism... thus shattering the universe by accident and mistake. He ended up at New Yoke City, and travelled between Boscage Maze, No Place, and the Grim." The hedgehog confirmed. "It's a long story, which you should've heard... oh well, my liberation screwed up the prime world! Oops."

This enraged Prime!Rouge, but Boom!Sonic stopped her from dashing to the projection.

"Wait! We can work together!" Said the 'scarf' hedgehog. "And calm down!"

The Resistance looked back to the hedgehog. "We ain't giving up!"

"You will." The hedgehog refuted.

Sonics and co. arrived, and saw the mess.

"Infinite? And... Merlina!?" Sonic is surprised.

"Isn't it you, the blue hedgehog again." The hedgehog noticed. "The 'Boom' blue and Prime-bat saw me, as a god. As for the Dark Queen..."

Sonic then looked at Merlina, who's sobbing and tears.

"What have you done to her!?" Sonic called the hedgehog out.

"Calling the Dark Queen out." The hedgehog bluntly responded. "All it took is you giving her a beating and a flower for her to give up on saving her own sad kingdom. She threw her chance away, and I was reminding her about that."

"Sir Sonic... that illusion is tormenting me..." Merlina told Sonic what's up.

"Let's me sort this out for now." Sonic told everyone. "Hey, doppelganger! The kingdom would've eternally rot if she succeeded in using that scabbard! I beat her up to her sense, and I redeemed her! The kingdom's supposed to be living at the fullest, and embrace the end with hope!

"Oh, and also, would Infinite approve of you?" The Resistance questioned.

"Chip, Silver, guys! Glad you're safe and sound!" Sonic turned to back. "And... another version of me? Rouge?"

"Sonic!" Prime!Rouge hugged Sonic, mistaking him for his Prime counterpart. "You're-"

"I barely knew about the Paradox Prism, and I've just learned about it!" Sonic pushed Prime!Rouge away. "And no offense, but I thought your... chest is larger than this. And you're wearing a bit more."

"What's wrong?" Prime!Rouge is confused.

"Now that I see it more... you can't be my Rouge." Shadow sighed.

"Then I'm not from your world." Prime!Rouge shrugged. "But still, you can trust me like you do to your Rouge."

"Oh, hello, cleaner me!" Boom!Sonic greeted his main counterpart. "And little?"

The Sonics two responded back friendly, while the mysterious hedgehog looks in disdain.

"Three... Sonics?" Merlina stopped, and looked around.

"There's more than two Sonics?" Silver looked around.

"Shadow, you don't look the same." Boom!Sonic looked around. "Wait, almost none of you are! I'm not so familar to these designs of yours! I only recognize Orbot and Cubot!"

"What!?" The Eggmen are shocked.

"This version of Sonic isn't in my database." Sage confirmed.

"Now there's not one, not two, but... three alternative Sonics!" Prime!Rouge figured it out.

"That makes it four in total. Your Sonic is missing, but I don't care." The hedgehog confirmed. "If you all want to get back home, all you need to do is go to the checkpoint."

"I... I can still fight..." Infinite finally came back to consciousness. "Huh...?"

"Infinite woke up!" A member of the Resistance noticed.

Infinite the jackal bounced back up, confused by everything.

"...what?" Infinite is confused and suspicious. "Where is it?"

"You weakling again." Shadow recognized Infinite. "Welcome to Glitched Hill. We're all stuck here."

"What!?" Infinite is shocked.

"The sadistic jackal wakes up again." The hedgehog focused on Infinite. "Hey, Infinite the Jackal!"

"Give it to me." Infinite thought the Phantom Ruby is stolen, not knowing that his Phantom Ruby isn't used by the hedgehog himself.

"Not yet. You'll need a refresher." The hedgehog responded, much to Eggman's embarassment.

This reminded both Infinite and Eggman of "No, wait! I can still fight!" moment. Infinite groans.

"No... I've had my fill with the... overbearing genius mastermind types..." Infinite recalled. "... didn't work out too well last time and I'm not really in the mood to be double-crossed again... so I'd appreciate it if you'd just hand over the Ruby."

"That's because your sadist tendencies and lack of pragmatism costed us the world!" Eggman called Infinite out. "I practically conquered my world thanks to you, and yet you still-"

"Arrogant genius, you are just as responsible. Infinite may be at fault, but you eventually betrayed him before he could keep trying." The hedgehog called the doctor out. "As for you, jackal..."

"Fuck you, Eggman." Infinite pisses Eggman off.

Eggman is about to rage, but is calmed down by Sage.

"The Phantom Ruby is out in your timeline, but there's an alternate timeline where the Ruby never returned to the 'Classic' era." The hedgehog began his explanation. "Metal Sonic of that timeline found the Ruby in request of said timeline's Eggman. Once the copy touched, he turned into Neo Metal Sonic, that originally took matters into his own hands. He overclocked the Ruby, and let you be... overclocked."

"What? I was..." Infinite have no idea.

"That version of you worked with that Neo Metal to end that timeline's Sonic, but is ultimately stopped by him and the Resistance. Now, neither any of them nor that egghead is necessary anymore, now that the Ruby tuned the Paradox Prism... and freed me." The hedgehog explained. "As for the Paradox Prism, after Prime Sonic started trying to fix the mess he inadvertently created, there's Tails Nine from New Yoke. He stolen the shards, and tuned the Grim at the cost of the Shatterspaces itself. That reality was nearly erased, but was restored once the Prism's done. And then, that Shadow did Chaos Control, found the Ruby, and the rest is history."

"So you're going to shatter the entire multiverse!?" Robotnik called the hedgehog out.

"Yes. With the two crystals, there's nothing I can't do." The hedgehog proclaimed. "No matter how fast or powerful you are, you cannot escape me. I am a god, and I will make you pay for rejecting my existence."

The hedgehog disappeared, and the party immediately went to the checkpoint. Elise is still spying.

"What about the Chaos Emeralds?" Elise asked the hedgehog. "Thanks goodness they're not in their possession."

"Don't worry, I've consificated all of them." The hedgehog reassured. "I am supreme. Let THE END guard the Emeralds. To me, THE END is just a rookie, a pawn. I reign supreme, and you obey."

"Yes, my lord." Elise left the scene. "I will-"

"Get back to the Grim. Your next command will be announced there." The hedgehog commanded.
