"Thanks you, Sonic." Nicole then turned to the Zero Point. "Shatter, you asked for it!"
The holo-lynx crushed the orbs together, causing a flash of mandalas to envelope her digitized body. Sage saw the flash in both awe (from power) and and horror (for incomprehensible nature of said power).
"Taikyoku, Aztiluth! Tenchi Kaibyaku!"/"Supreme, ultimate emanation! Big Bang of Creation!"/"太極、流出! 天地開闢!" Nicole changed. "Access, Aeon!"
"Let me fix you. Literally." Hirume approached Miles. "You are Mr. President?"
Her hands glowed in a radiant light, which scared the hell the brainwashed Miles out.
"Nonononono-" Miles panicked. "Eggforcers, please!"
"Shokou Mandala - Yaoyorozu!"/"曙光曼荼羅—八百万!" Hirume blasted Miles off with light of myriad dawn, all to undo the brainwashing.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Miles gets flashed by the Amaterasu. "CURSE YOU, THE DAWN!"
Both lights flashes out the Island, distracting the fiends that's just awakened. It was blinding for the while, briefly overwhelming both versions of Hope.
"Splendid entry, fellows." Mercurius clapped. "And as for that monstrous moon above... About time we suppress that?"
"Good observation, parasite." Satanael agreed. "Us Hegemony Gods are the most fitting to keep that powerful eldritch creature at bay."
The flash subdued, and Hirume is shown carrying an unconscious President.
"Mr. Robotnik, I got him." Hirume floated up like a Hegemony God, due to her being the Sensory of Dawn.
On the other area, Nicole is literally glowing with auras of gradient red, blue, purple, silver, cyan, gold, yellow, bronze and magenta. She appears to be in her overclocked form, except for the lack of Star Ring details and instead the mandalas as patterns on her outfits, all originating from the Hegemony Gods themselves. Her fur is also magenta as well.
"The power of Hegemony... I was far superior to her, but... she became... all-powerful..." Sage is in awe over the transformation. "She couldn't survive me outside her overclock... now I'm nothing to her right now."
Nicole has become a Hegemony God, caring the power of the Throne wielders, who just joined the unified.
"Another gods?" Hope rolled her eyes out. "I already busted The King of Olympus! The gods already moved out!"
"Gods? Wasn't they only in the mythology?" Society!Hope is baffled.
"Nicole, get those monsters to submit to the universal law!" Sonic then dashed out.
"Hegemony Nicole, go go go!" Boom!Sonic as well.
Team Superstars and Team Freedom are now all over the Island. Nicole floats up and...
"Tentsui."/"Fall off."/"転墜"
Suddenly, the fiends jerked out, with the emanation resistance going haywire due to the alignment-reversing wave. Nicole then did the Legion Reincarnation (軍勢変生) on the Team Superstars and Team Freedom, bestowing some of the Hegemony powers to them all.
"I'm glowing! I'm glowing!" Amy noticed the effect, and tried the benefits out by crushing a fiend with her Piko Piko Hammer.
The hammer struck the ground, not only crushing the fiend's body but also causing a big earthquake affecting the entire Island.
"Hah!" The cybernetic Merlina the Wizard summoned the forces of Underworld - aptly, the Knights of the Underworld - to destroy the hordes of fiends.
"For the Shatter-verse!" Nine and Dread echoed out, showing off the power of Legion Reincarnation.
"Taking back our multiverse! Sisters, go!" The Shatter-verse's Roses crushed dozens with each single swing.
The New Yoke army and No Place crew took down another horde, and with each member artificially granted godhood.
"Now..." Shatter's voice echoed across the entire Island. "You have done enough damage!"
"Acta est Fabula!" Nicole echoed.
Suddenly, the Phantom Ruby effect preemptively cancelled out the eternal recurrence. Cream tried to cancel out that by doing the Aztiluth, but the effect only repeated.
"FUCKKK! Metsujin Messo!" Cream furiously called for destruction.
The destructive wave went to the Zero Point, but because of the nexus orb's nature, the wave is infinitely spread out, making it powerless and useless.
"You think that would work?" Shatter scoffed. "Sequere naturam!"
"What." Mithra noticed.
"You are to follow the nature." THE END quoted.
Cue millions of meteors the style of the Seven coming down to the Island. Now-detrans- Shadow and his Prime counterpart, with the premonition from Antoine, held their hands as artificially-made gods.
"Chaos Control!"
The meteors all disappeared.
"Shahra! Let me strike this orb, so Shatter would get stunned!" Sonic suggested. "As for you..." *powers the Super state up* "Mega Man! Blaze!"
"Alright!" Mega Man then used the Double Gear and the Chaos Emeralds, overclocking the Super Armor.
"Finally!" Blaze becomes Burning Blaze without using the still-stolen Sol Emeralds, thanks to the Legion Reincarnation.
"I found this too!" X in his Ultimate Armor, having caught a stray Smash Ball. "Must have been left after few weeks, brother?"
Mega Man took the Ball, absorbed it and fully ready. Sonic absorbed the cyber-corruption Sage stored all this time, becoming Super Sonic 2.
"You won't get it, but no!" Shatter denied. "There is NOTHING I cannot do. I am immortal! I AM A GOD! NOW WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? EVERYTHING'S OUT OF CONTROL!"
"Mega Legends!"/"ロックマンスペシャル!" Mega Man called the other robots of his multiverse involved, while activating his Final Smash.
The Blue Bomber shoots a Black Hole Bomb on the Zero point, causing a black hole to covers the entire Island and nearby surroundings, sucking THE END, and the rest of universe in. He, X, Volnutt, Proto Man, Bass, Axl and the spectral copies of , Star Force Mega Man, bad-boxart Mega Man and transformed Aki Light, all pointing their Mega Busters at the Zero Point with Sonic on the way. Sigma turned himself into that virus and entered the Busters at mr. X's behest.
"Burn bright with your colors, dear Wisps." Blaze set the Wisps (even the red ones) on fire with her powers.
Sonic is blessed by Shahra in order to Cycloop the Speed Break and Time Break with Speed Force, preparing the... Spin Dash Blast.
"Shatter, enough!" The teams screamed.
The Mega Man heroes and such fired the blast, pushing Sonic who Spin-Dashes with the burning Wisps flying focused alongside the blast, into one Speed Force-accelerated colossal ram. Blasting the nexus orb, causing a massive shockwave that shattered the universe of the original Reality Zero.
"Uh..." Hirume woke up in the In-Between that's now in literal ruins due to Shatter's actions.
"Why?" NiGHT flew out of place and had to return.
"Uhhh..." A bunch of Hunters got up.
"Crap!" Kado is shocked. "We pierced the Zero Point!"
"How did we... hey! Hey!" Vyse and Ryu-5 then searched all over the place.
Ariem came back and grouped all the unified army together, to the Final Destination platform, alongside an unconscious Miles.
"Thanks goodness none of us died. The Legion effect worked." Ariem is relieved "Thank you. Mr. Heydrich and Mr. Yatou."
"It's Ren Fuji. But then again..." Ren shrugged. "Marie, Shirou, Theresia, Sakurai, Ellie. I'm glad you and our friends are safe.
"Beatrice, where exactly are we?" Kei in Morei's body asked Beatrice. "This place is too... iridescent."
"This is the In-Between. Having travelled through time, I have seen this very sight." Kado revealed. "But this place's a mess now. Shards of Hypertime stuck in. Rubbish from several worlds flung through."
"The long-term aftermath of the Hyper Genesis Wave." The 12th Doctor commented. "Oh no. Looks like I recognize some... pieces."
"Unity Engines and RealWare techs." The 4th Doctor recognized these. "Broken and scrapped."
"My... my world..." Nimona is disgusted at the sight. "Shredded into pieces. And these..."
"Decaying corpses." Infinite commented. "Yes, I know. Because I killed people when I was..." *winks at the former Rookie*
"Bloodiest Crisis ever?" Captain Boomerang squinted.
"Yucks." Harley Quinn is disgusted.
"So kid-unfriendly." Billy Hatcher averted the view of the corpses.
"Ugh, beg us questions..." Renegade Knucks, while Gnarly growls.
"I'm struggling to scan it all - information overload. There's just so much!" Sage panicked. "Father! FATHER! Please help-"
"The Zero point connects and holds all existence together. This includes infinite realities." Kado added.
Hope is just standing around, speechless, as if catatonic. Her past self cowered behind, fearful and confused.
"This... is that... what Jones talked about..." Hope is horrified. "It's... it's..."
"So you heard it's true nature from Jones. John Jones. You know the infinite connections. Zero Point is that. CXA are protecting it partly because they are the only ones able to properly control it." Kado called Hope on. "Hope, right? We were on the same alliance. Fought against the Realitiers of the Order of the Pariah. You united your Underground with your old Society for the fight."
"Wha...? The Zero Point... it's Jones who... no...! How can I handle this shit!" Hope panicked. "And I don't even remember!"
"After the Realitiers were no more, I got back, took a time of mine again, thanks CXA, and traveled around. There, machine's working just fine." Kado recalled. "I saw the future you came from. I saw the Pandora Box in your time. And most importantly... I remember the alliance. We both did our parts. All of us."
"Wait... I..." Hope suddenly got an epiphany.
"And revealing too much all at once and too quickly would... overwhelm you." Kado tsk-tsk. "I'm telling you about a lot, so be patient and listen. Can't risk negligence or ignorance in missions like this. Also, you want to know what the infinite and/or ultimate power feels like? Be safe."
"I'm helping you with exposition." Sage approached. "Get known about everything thus far."
Kado and Sage took both their time together explaining Hope and Society!Hope about everything, what happened to multiverses and related, and tidbits regarding all that transpired, as far as the whole unified army has known.
"Oh. Oh. Oh..." Hope finally got it. "So this... everything has..."
"My world..." Society!Hope cried.
"I couldn't find Jones. The last time I met him was clearly before the Hyper Genesis Wave happened." Kado shaked out in disappointment. "And right after I processed the effect... Shatter and the empire caught me. They stole my machine."
"You're all... the other gods?" Hope glanced at the emanators, including the Hegemony Gods.
"Welcome to unified army-ja!" Hirume yipped. "Please... we can't defeat the creature by us alone!"
"Oh... hi." Hope feels nervous.
"Ms. Hope, may I break the fourth wall please?" Cream, still a cyberpsycho, but asked politely.
"Uh... the fourth wall?" Hope then slapped her past self. "Hey, we have a quest to do. Something Jones wanted to get out of."
"Huh? Underground self, what do we do?" Society!Hope still confused.
"Cut to the chase, rabbit. This isn't very glowing of a behavior..." Amakasu waved off.
"Rabbit, can you tell us about what's up?" Hope asked out.
"He took the Throne." Cream straight to the point.
"Wha?" The Observers, baffled.
"How did he...!" Satanael got suspicious. "This... has been his endgame all along?"
"I'm sorry for messing with the Shards. Had I been far more careful and willingness to listen earlier... Shatter would've never been inspired to get revenge on us all." Nine bowed down. "I unwittingly traumatized him so much that he started wanting to exist again. Letting that be denied by the extraction and prime Sonic returning home... broke Shatter. Which means I broke him... without even knowing he existed."
"What!?" Rebel Rouge, Thorn, both versions of Sticks, Prime!Shadow and the Eggmen are shocked.
"Are you kidding us!?" Tangle is baffled. "You... did it!? You let him be unleashed!?"
"I made him evil by using the Paradox Prism as Paradise making, which ended up nearly destroying the Shatter-verse!" Nine sobs. "The Shards had essences of Shatter's original components! My Sonic... Some other Sonics..."
"The blacksmith... no, which blacksmith?" Merlina wanted to ask Nine, but couldn't because she tried to avoid mistaking between different Tailses.
"Tails Nine." Tails pointed it out.
Merlina thanked, and decided to address Nine as Blacksmith the Ninth. "Mr. Ninth, what's wrong?"
Mangey looked around, and quickly scared Satanael's suspicions.
"Have I really... my Foreknowledge!" Mercurius realized something's really wrong.
"I zink so too..." Antoine shared this sentiment. "I... I have some vision... ze Throne!"
The revived World Warriors, the Heroes of Tomorrow and the Blue Rouges looked around to check any sign of the Throne.
"What is this joke!?" Harley Quinn is confused.
"Can we survive this?" King Shark still sitting there, not yet knowing what else to do. "Are we waiting for..."
"Me!" A massive laughter came after.
"Shatter! You're not going to win this at the end!" The Classic members screamed. "Chaos time!" *goes Super*
"Might as well give everyone a bunch of rings." Riza smiled in response. "Momiji, get the rings ready."
Cue the undead army tossing the rings to Team Superstars.
"Alright. Yip yip!" Super Sonic called the Wisps.
"Did you think it'll make any meaningful difference to me!" Shatter scoffed behind. "I have transcended. There truly is nothing that I cannot do. EVER."
"How dare you..." Hajun cursed out of spite. "How the fuck did you steal and mess with our territory...!"
"Shatter the Hedgehog! We will kill ya!" Robotnik declared.
"Your resistance sure is massive. However..." Shatter smirked. "There is no way you can hurt me anymore. I am immortal now. I am the strongest now. All 7 plus 2 editions of your, now rest in my rage!"
"You stole our properties. Unacceptable." Mithra barely exposed her fury, due to her Commandment. She made it clear she's pissed off though.
"What are you doing with that transcendent device that I cannot possibly comprehend in details?" Infinite questioned. "That one," *glances at the former Rookie* "Agreed?"
They simply nodded to Infinite.
"You'll regret this, as I did." Nine declared. "Shatter. You've become an anomaly unto itself. Not yourself... itself."
"Oh, really?" Shatter pssst. "You know what? Get ready for... shattering."
Suddenly, rainbow-multi-colored hue set in the surroundings, and distorted mandalas spread throughout.
To be continued...
