5/22/24-6/19/24
It had been a month since the war ended and things were getting back to what they used to be.
Sonic, Shadow and Silver had become Super together to put it all back to what it all started as.
Sonic and Knuckles hadn't heard from Tails since and missed him but knew he could take care of himself.
Aleena, Sonia, Manic and Chuck had called asking if she was OK after hearing about the last war and were relieved when she said she was fine.
They both knew they wanted her back, but she swore not to go back until Eggman was gone.
Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Sonic was sleeping and having a nightmare right now.
The Citadel, on an islet encapsulated in the Void. Mangey whimpered and consoled Gnarly while Silver held Renegade's arm, Batten comforted Sails and the Roses held hands.
"It has been an honor, sisters." Rusty said.
Don't shed tears while Done-it snored, Deep gathered the two together and they started sobbing, while Babble giggled and clapped. Shadow firmly looked at Rebel, who looked at one of her gloves in misery.
"Not yet." she said determined, ran and jumped onto the other Shatter Drive in the lab.
"Sonic, what are you doing?" Nine asked.
"Giving you a sacrifice."
"You'd do that after everything I..."
"What are friends for?" she said and turned to Shadow and Renegade, who nodded in agreement. "If I do this, you must all promise to leave Nine alone! Let him live peacefully in his new home in the Grim."
"Sure, certainly. Invade? Us?" Eggman said and chuckled. "What do you mean?"
"Same goes for you, Nine. Promise that you won't cause any more trouble in the other Shatterspaces."
"How can we trust him again?" Renegade asked.
"You can trust me." Nine said.
"We have no choice. It all ends here if we don't." Rebel said and Nine smiled.
"You have my word."
"Hurry up already!" Done-It said angrily and banged his fist while Nine moved over to the keyboard and started typing.
"If I can extract the remaining Prism energy inside of him, I can use it to fully reform the Paradox Prism." Nine said and the screen showed energy depleting from a Rebel icon and a bar to the right of the Paradox Prism raised up to full.
"And then? Spit it out!" Deep said.
"And then the Prism will finally be fully stable. I can save everything."
"You heard him. We have a plan. Let's move this along." Sonic said.
"For once, I agree with the blue rat. Do it already!" Eggman said.
"There's a risk. If I remove the energy, she might fall apart." Nine said.
"What about me or Shadow?" Silver asked suspiciously.
"Shadow wasn't there for the shatter event during the war. I'm guessing he blipped into this reality like the Infinite war."
"And without the Prism energy binding either of you, I'm not sure you'll make it." Nine said.
"I'm ready." Sonic said shocking Nine by the response, and became agonized. "It's the only way, Nine." she said and looked at Renegade who nodded. "And, I've had enough fighting. I was a Freedom Fighter during the war with Robotnik when he had Mobotropolis, all the fights with him and you guys, the war with Infinite, the Metal Virus, the current war and now this. I'm not only the hero of Mobius, leader of Team Sonic, Sonic Heroes and Resistance." she said and took a deep breath. "I am Sonic the Hedgehog, daughter of Queen Aleena and heir to the throne." she said and they gasped. "But I've had enough, I want a life where I can relax and not lead anyone." she said and Nine nodded in misery, then types on the keyboard once again. "Do it." she said and he turned to her miserably, then pressed one last button on the keyboard.
The Shatter Drive started lighting up and started whirring. Rebel grunted as she struggled and floated. Her gloves and shoes sparkle with electricity. Waves of light pass over her as her arms were forced back while her shoes and gloves fluctuate into various looks from different Shatterspaces. The Paradox Prism started lighting up and shaking, the seam lines which showed where each Shard was located retracting to the center, disappearing. The monitor displayed Rebel's energy depleted to empty, having been transferred to the Prism. Her regulators detach, showing her plain gloves and shoes. The Prism burst a white light covering the screen. As soon as the light faded, Sonic appeared a pale grey with an light outline glowing around her and collapsed on the podium, with vapor rising around her while Shadow looked over in shock.
"Sonic, are you..." Nine started while Sonic panted and tried to get up.
"Me? Never better." Rebel said and knelt down.
"She's still alive. She didn't shatter!" Silver said relieved while she stood, but was affected by a strong spasm.
"Whoa." she said, collapsed and fell onto Renegade, who caught her and she twitched again.
"Her Prismatic energy has been extracted. The Prism is whole. His body is holding together, but I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before..." Nine said and became distracted as she twitched again, struggling.
"Easy, Sonic. I got ya." Renegade said worried.
"And we've got this!" Eggman said pointing to the Paradox Prism.
He, Eggforcers, and the rest of the Chaos Council stood in-front of the prism and display their combat poses in-front of Nine who growled and tried to run to the keyboard, but Babble grabbed Nine away from it and threatened him while Deep drew a sword and pointed it at Shadow.
"Stand down, Edge Lord. I don't trust one hedgehog, let alone two." Deep said.
"Dr. Don't! Triangulate whatever is left of New Yoke City." Eggman said.
"Once I calibrate to New Yoke City, we're outta here." Don't said typing on the keyboard.
Nine threatened and pointed his mechanical tails at the Council while Done-It also pointed his cane weapon towards him.
"Ah-ah-ah!" Done-It said while his weapon lit up. "Careful! Look at your friend. He's in no shape to fight."
"He's right. I'm gassed. But if Nine could barely handle the power of the Prism, you clowns have no hope." Rebel said with her arm around Renegade.
"Now, now. We must all accept when our time is over. But who knows? Perhaps when I wield the power of the Prism, I'll create a version of you that's more agreeable." Deep said.
"When you wield it?" Don't said and scoffed. "Wait until you see the VR world I've been planning. I'll call it the "Egg-a-verse.""
"In your dreams, you no good whippersnapper!" Done-It said.
"What's a whippersnapper?" Don't asked and Babble angrily muttered and flailed his arms.
"Oh, cram it with walnuts, ya big baby, or I'll give you a permanent timeout!" Done-It said pointing his weapon at Babble.
"Enough, you fools!" Eggman said and popped his head out of the cockpit. "We stand at the precipice of a new world, and you would ruin my moment?"
"Your moment? Why, you sanctimonious..." Deep said.
Babble yelled and banged his mace arm on the ground, causing the rest of the Council to brace themselves. A five-way screen appeared, with all five members of the Council becoming enraged. They open fire at each other and Done-It shoots at Babble's arm while Don't prepares his Eggforcers for combat.
"Yes! Eat that!" Don't said and the Eggforcers fire at Deep, but he blocked them with his swords.
"Hi-ya! Ya!" Deep said.
Done-It's seat hovered into Deep, who kicked the seat forward, but the Eggforcers dodge it. Deep dodged an Eggforcers charge, while the other one hit Done-It. Babble grabbed an Eggforcers and threw it towards Don't who dodged, causing it to crash into a wall. Shadow prepared to fight, but Silver held him back.
"Hold on, Shadow. Let's see how this plays out." Silver said.
"Stop! Stop, you morons!" Eggman said with weapon debris being thrown behind him.
Done-It smacked Don't on the head with his cane and Deep charged at Babble, who blocked it with his arm and slammed the ground.
"Arghh. Should we do something?" Dread asked.
"Not yet. This is like candy to me." Renegade said amused but worried about his best friend.
Babble threw Don't and Done-It pointed his weapon at Deep while Rebel and Nine looked at each other.
She winked, but twitched again, causing her to grunt and close both eyes. Nine smiled and nodded. He hid behind a wall, then made his way back to the keyboard and started typing. The Prism opened up a Portal to the Void. Deep charged at Babble, but was slapped by him as he crashed into Done-It as they flew through the portal.
"Babbles, no! Bad baby! Bad!" Eggman said and Babble muttered, slammed his fist and Eggman gasped. "That is it! You're getting a timeout!" he said angrily and shot at him, blocking the attacks with his arm.
Bullets fired at Denizen 1998, forcing him to duck.
"How about now?" Shadow asked.
"Knock yourself out." Silver said miserably and Shadow battle cried and spin jumped into Babble, knocking the screaming baby into the Void.
Renegade, Silver and Rusty joined in the fight against the Council.
"Okay, that's it. I'm out!" Don't said,warped into the portal and started playing his video game.
"Now we do something." Renegade said and the Rebels close in slowly on Eggman.
"No! This belongs to me! I'll defeat all of you! I'll..." Eggman said but was tag teamed by the Rebels and blasted into the void. "You haven't heard the last of us! You just wait! We will amass an even greater army and destroy..." he said as the portal whirred and disappeared.
"Good riddance." Nine said and smiled a little but heard Rebel groan as she twitched again. "Sonic?" he said as energy crackled, causing her to grunt.
"You were right, buddy." Rebel said softly and energy crackled, causing her to grunt. "Guess without the Prism energy..." she said and energy crackled, causing her to grunt. "I can't exist in the Shatterspaces." she said and he typed on the keyboard.
"With the Prism whole again, if I start the reformation process, theoretically, there's still a chance I can bring back Green Hill!" he said and her energy crackled, causing her to grunt.
"Green Hill?" she said and energy crackled, causing her to grunt again.
"Here goes." he said and stopped typing.
On the monitor the diagram showed the Prism on the left, pieces of the prism in the inset, and the portals on a grid to the right while the Paradox Prism itself glowed, whirled and shook. Renegade comforted Rebel as everyone flinched and braced themselves as the Prism burst a white light covering the screen. As soon as it faded, Silver looked up at the podium.
"Huh?" he said as the prism disappeared, with white vapor spewing out.
"The Prism! It be..." Batten said.
"Gone. And nothing has changed. Our attempt has failed." Rusty said.
"Look!" Nine said pointing up and ahead.
Rebel and her friends walked past a crack that had developed in the wall. Everyone gasped as they looked up to the purple sky with airborne rocks and portal gateways of different colors, which light up in their respective colors. Crystals from each colored gateway line up and merge together.
"The gateways... are reforming." Rebel said as the Blue Gateway completed its reformation.
"No Place!" Black said and the Green Gateway completes its reformation.
"The Boscage Maze!" Prim said as a separate colored group of crystals lined up close to the Green Gateway and Birdie squawked.
"I don't know what that is, Birdie." Thorn said and Shadow stared at it as the newly-formed gateway, glowed white.
"It's Green Hill." Silver said smiling.
"You did it, Nine." Rebel said and energy crackled, causing her to grunt. "I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to outrun this."
"Yes, you can, if you leave now." Nine said.
"Nine's right. You get to your home, we'll get to ours." Silver said to her firmly.
"Even if I wanted to, I can't. I'm outta juice." Rebel said.
"You're not doing it alone. Not when you got friends here to help." Renegade said and they looked at her confidently.
She smiled a little and Nine broke down and hugged her and Renegade who smiled and hugged back.
"Now hurry." Nine said and sniffled. "That Gateway won't be there forever." he said and they nodded in agreement and Thorn hopped onto Birdie's back.
"Need a ride?" she asked and Birdie squawked.
Sonic walked forward, but collapsed as she twitched again, with Dread holding her by the chest.
"Easy there, las. I got you." Dread said.
"Let me give you a... hand." Rusty said, picked Sonic up and put her onto Birdie's back.
"Thank you." Sonic said.
"You got no time for speeches, girlo. Fly! And know we'll be rooting for ya." Dread said.
"Right. Take care of each other, okay?"
"Hold tight, friend. Let's go, Birdie. Fly!" Thorn said and Birdie took off.
"Goodbye, Sonic!" Dread said.
"Farewell!" Black said and Shadow and Renegade cleared their throats at the Roses who turned back. "Oh, I suppose you need a ride too?" she said and Shadow looked away while Renegade nodded.
Meanwhile Sonic, Thorn and Birdie, continued their ascent.
"You got this, Birdie!" Thorn said and Birdie sped up along the Void, dodging rocks by swerving, and corkscrewing.
However, she squawked as she was hit by a rock, hurting her wing.
"Birdie, your wing!" Thorn said and Birdie squawked as her hurt wing remained in position, descending.
"It doesn't look good." Rebel said and struggled. "We're not gonna make it." she said and energy crackled, causing her to grunt as Birdie fell.
"No!"
Below, the Yolkomotive caught the injured Birdie on the deck.
"Black Rose?" Rebel said.
"Happy to lend a hand! Now hold on to your backsides. We're gonna pick up the pace!" Black said and the Yolkomotive's thrustered ignite and the vehicle sped up.
It hit a rock, causing Black to grunt in anger. Another rock hit the front of the ship and Rebel fell and collapsed to the ground, with Thorn checking on her.
"Hurry! He's not gonna make it!" Thorn said to Black who groaned.
"I'm doing me best! But this bucket of bolts is barely holding together!" Black said and Rusty extended her arm and made her way to a turret.
"Keep it steady. I will clear a path." she said, fired from the turret, shooting and clearing the rocks out of the way.
Sonic groaned as she twitches. The Yolkomotive was now running with one thruster when another rock hit that last thruster, causing the Yolkomotive to slow down.
"I'm losing speed!" Black said while Shadow caught a rock and threw it away, then kicked another one.
He looked around, determined then sighed and closed his eyes, while Black punched the deck in fury.
"Black Rose, you've brought us far enough. We'll take it from here." Shadow said and Black nodded.
Thorn helped Rebel up again, while Shadow and Renegade took her forward. They held their arms around each other as they slowly walked off as Black jumped onto the deck. Rebel looked back at the miserable looking Roses.
"Goodbye, Roses." she said and Shadow carried her off the Yolkomotive as they jumped from rock to rock while Renegade held his neck.
Rebel twitched as they land on a big rock and Shadow sped along the big rock's surface, with an aura glowing behind him.
"I never knew you were a hugger." Rebel said and energy crackled, causing her to grunt.
"Do you want me to save you or not?" Shadow asked while Renegade snickered.
Then energy crackled, causing Rebel to grunt so he sped to the end of a rock and leapt off the end of it towards the gateway. The frame froze as he lands his foot on another rock, powers up as Renegade transfer some of his strength to him and leaps again, carrying the incapacitated Rebel.
"Hang on, Sonic!" Shadow said and with a golden streak, tried to keep the momentum going as much as possible, and made it through the gateway with Rebel and Renegade. As soon as they go in, everything turned white.
Then she turned and saw when she was a Freedom Fighter.
Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all
"It'll take all your speed to get through that prototype shield Robotnik's puttin' up, sonny." Chuck said.
"No problemo, Uncle Chuck! "Fast" is my middle name." she said.
"Eh, can't argue there!" he said and chuckled. "But just remember: you can't let Robotnik seize ya! Keep your speed up!"
"Yeah, what's up with that, Unc? How come I have to be so careful?"
"Eh, because if he found out who was takin' out all his factories, he'd be huntin' you all the time! Whoa, come on boy! Jelly and jam time!"
Then she coughed.
"That's juice and jam, Unc."
"Oh." he said and they laughed. "Okay, girl. Be careful!" he said and pressed a button and let her out. "Good luck, Sonic!"
"Shield status!" Robotnik said.
"Shields ready, sir." a robot said.
"Good. Activate!" he said and the robot pulled a lever to raise the shield. "Now if the Resistance uses their secret weapon, they'll be in for a big surprise!" he said and bellowed with laughter.
"You don't have to do this, sonny." Chuck said.
"Got to, Uncle Chuck. If I don't bust through that force-field, Robuttnik'll put 'em around every factory. Not to worry, been practisin', Unc. Gotta do it to it!" she said and zoomed away. "See ya!"
"Prepare to lift off!" Robotnik said.
"Sir, motion sensors detect fast-approaching object.
"Radar?"
"Too low, sir."
"Ahhh, can't wait!"
"Just... a little... faster!" she said and strained.
"Almost there, sonny! Give it all you got!" Chuck said.
"Yaaaahhhh!" she said and penetrated the shield. "No way I'm stoppin'! Just a little... more!" she said and broke the shield down. "YEAH!"
"It destroyed my force-field! Nothing can be that fast! What is it?!" Robotnik said.
"Yes!"
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
Then she saw when she met Knuckles.
They gasped as the ground cracked open and they screamed.
"Huh?" they said and Knuckles burst out. "Aaarrgh!"
"What's happening? Whoa, dude! You nailed that landing. I give it a 10!" Manic said while Knuckles and Sonic looked at each other in shock.
"Knuckles?" Sonic said.
"Hedgehog thieves!" Knuckles said and she coughed.
"Not exactly the welcome mat we expected." she said and Sonia coughed.
"Look at this! You'd better have a real good dry-cleaners on this rock!" Sonia said.
"You came here to steal the Emerald, but I'll stop you!" Knuckles said.
"Chill, fella, we're not thieves!" Sonic said and looked at Manic. "Well, mostly we're not. Anyway..." she said and he growled. "Huh?" she said and fell back. "Oof! Nice to see you, too!"
"I hate thieves!"
"Sonic! Are you all right?" Sonia asked.
"Boy, that guy's good!" Manic said.
"What are you, nuts? 'Cos if you're thinking of starting a fan club, Manic... here comes your hero!" Sonic said.
Manic and Sonia gasped.
"Okay, knuckle-boy. If that's the way you wanna play it, let's get basic!"
"Sonic, wait! Maybe we can reason with him." Sonia said.
"Good idea, sis... NOT! Here's a taste of the Super Sonic Triple Spin, pal!" Sonic said and Sonia gasped while Knuckles looked at her confused.
"Whoooaa!" he said.
"Whoaa!"
"Ugh!"
"You guys can jump in here any time, y'know."
"Ah, we knew you had it covered." Manic said.
"This time, we're gonna reason with him! Where'd he go?" Sonia said.
"Guess Super Spin was a little too much for him." Sonic said.
'So he still likes to dig.' she thought amused.
"Huh?" they said.
"I would bet... not!" Manic said.
"Listen, echidna guy! We aren't here to steal anything! We're here to find Queen Aleena!" Sonia said.
"Whoa, maybe that worked!"
"Hey sis, what are your feelings telling you now?" Sonic asked.
"Er... that we'd better LEAVE!" Sonia said.
"Huh?"
"Huh?" Manic said.
"You're lying!" Knuckles said.
"I'll handle this." Sonic said.
"Sure! Why not? You've done such a superb job so far!" Sonia said.
Then Manic and Sonia both screamed.
Knuckles gasped and Sonic spun him round.
"Whooaa! Aaaagh!" he said.
"One more time!" Sonic said and he burrowed into the ground. "Come back and fight, Knuckles!"
"Lying hedgehogs! Thieves!"
"Huh?"
"Okay. I've had enough." Sonia said.
"Heh!" Knuckles yelled then cut a support rope and Manic and Sonia both screamed.
"Hang on, guys! Here I-" Sonic said and fell into a trap. "Whooaaa!" she said and grabbed the edge. "Yes!" she said then Knuckles arrived to drop her in. "No!" she said strained then fell and screamed
"Goodbye, hedgehogs!" Knuckles said.
"Ooh, ah, ooh! Ah..." she said, landed and was stuck. "Huh?" she said strained. "Hah! That's it. You're toast, Knucklehead! Outta here!"
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Meanwhile Knuckles was thinking about when Sonia kissed him after the Chaos Emerald fight.
"Athair, we brought you the Chaos Emerald for safekeeping." Knuckles said.
"The Emerald must be kept by you. On the floating island." Athair said.
"But you'll be coming with us won't you, to join the Resistance?" Sonia asked.
"Knuckles' duty lies on the floating island. Just as your duty lies with the Resistance."
"And finding mom!" Sonic said.
"But if you ever need a break from fighting Buttnik, there's always room on the Floating Island." Knuckles said.
"And you're welcome to sit in with a Band anytime!" Sonia said and kissed him.
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
Sonic was in her room writing something and wasn't sure what they would think.
When she was done she tapped it to her door and packed up.
Soon she was all set and ready.
"I have to do this. If he's not really gone, Chaos help us." she said, opened the window and jumped using a Sonic Spin.
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Then she saw the first time she saw Robotnik after she left.
A tent was set up with a flag on-top, depicting a globe in a hand-vice. It was very windy and Robotnik was addressing a large group of bots in attendance on a stage.
"I've called you all together because you're the worst assortment of lowlife mercenaries I've ever made! You're mean! You're malicious! You're my kind of rotten!" Robotnik said and the bots cheer with joy.
Meanwhile Sonic found the convention, listened in on Robotnik from outside and snuck a peak inside through a curtain.
"Ever since I launched my ingenious plan to conquer the planet Mobius, three trouble-making teenagers have made me tear every hair from my beautiful head!" Robotnik said and took out a remote, pressing a button that moved a curtain behind him, showing a large photo of Sonic Underground and the audience booed. "You took the words right out of my mouth! I hate those hedgehogs!" he said and showed his teeth. "They ruin my schemes." he said and the audience continued to boo as Sonic found a free seat in the middle of the audience and listened in but nobody noticed her and she booed to fit in. "They escape my traps!" he said as they booed again and somebody threw a tomato at Sonic Underground's picture, narrowly missing Robotnik's head. "They help nice people." he said and they booed again, with Sonic standing in his seat booing as well. "But no more! No more! I am hereby declaring Sonic Underground as Mobius' most wanted fugitive." he said and the words 'WANTED' appeared over Sonic Underground's photo. "To ensure his immediate capture, I am offering you the biggest reward in bounty hunter history..." he said, pressed his remote again and the phrase: 'REWARD 1,000,000,000 !' came up. "One billion Mobiums! Alive or otherwise!"
"Question from the crowd." Sonic said and he looked at the audience in anger and annoyance.
"What is it?!" he asked and the bots in the audience looked at Sonic in surprise, then anger.
"We're worth way more than that!" she said and his head turned red as he saw her.
"There one is! Get her! I want that hedgehog!"
"Whoa!" she said as the two bots beside Sonic stood up and tried to beat her up in a flurry of smoke cover, but they failed as she escaped with a Triple Spin, then dropkicks Robotnik to the ground, grabbed his moustache and tapped her foot on the ground. "I'm waiting." she said, pulled the moustache and let go, causing him great pain.
She smiled triumphantly while he started crying and the crowd started running at the stage.
"Get her! Get her!" he said.
'But where are the other two?' he thought while the crowd continued at the stage.
"We got her! We got her!" the crowd said and Sonic charged up and dashed away.
Robotnik tried to grab her before she left the stage, but he couldn't grab her in time. She dashed through the crowd, going underneath their legs and tripping various bots then stopped at a large green bot and held her hand up at it while pointing elsewhere.
"I'm over there." she said and the bot looked over as she ran away.
The bot scratched its head in confusion and the crowd ran at Sonic, knocking over the green bot, leaving it as a mess of mechanical parts.
Then Sonic ran through a dessert and passed by a forest with a small group of the bots still in pursuit. She stopped, with Dragon Breath leading the group.
"Split up and surround 'em!" Dragon Breath said and a few of the bots enter an arc of trees and stopped as Sonic arrived in carnival gear with a small tent.
"Step right up! Step right up! Don't crowd, don't push! You'll all get a chance to see the greatest show on Mobius, and remember, for all bounty hunters, admission is free!" Sonic said pointing at the entrance to the tent, opening it and the bots ran in and ended up on the edge and fell down. "Guess you guys won't be staying for a second show!" she said and they crash, making the ground shake.
Then she dashed off to take care of the other bots. Two bots were walking along the forest as she dashed and stopped in front of them. She handed them handles attached to a rope.
"Don't let go!" she said and dashed off, with the other end of the ropes tied to his body, pulling the bots with him.
She jumped over a large rock, weaved between trees and went through a hollow log. The bots ended up slamming into the rock, the trees and dragged through the log, leaving it in a tangled mess. Using her speed, Sonic dashed over a river, forcing the bots to water ski. They hit a buoy and sunk, but were still holding onto the ropes, so were dragged underwater until they made it back to the surface. They exit the water and approach a large rock wall. Sonic stopped and immediately changed direction at the wall. The bots screamed in fear as they approach and slam into it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Told ya not to let go!" Sonic said and sighed. "Ya know, I sure have fun."
"The fun's over, hedgehog." Dragon Breath said and she gasped as he stood over her with a wooden club.
"Is he serious?" she said, dashed off and stopped at a tree, wearing Robin Hood gear. "Ya ever play William Tell?" she said and put an apple on top of her head as Dragon Breath got mad.
He threw the club at her as she whistled, waiting. As the club approached, she dashed off at fast speed, leaving the apple in midair. The club hit the apple and crashed into the tree. Sonic ran back and grabbed the apple, which split in half and ran off as the tree started falling down from the club impact. Dragon Breath screamed as he saw the tree falling. It crashed into him and Sonic watched from a small hill.
"I knew he was still alive. Now I can end him myself." she said and at that apple.
Meanwhile Robotnik was far away on his Egg-o-Matic watching on with binoculars.
"Miserable hedgehog... Okay, so I had a small setback. The battle has just begun!" Robotnik said and flew back to his fortress.
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
Then she woke up, gasped, looked around and panicked.
"Hey, hey, hey!" someone said and she turned to see Knuckles. "Relax, it's OK. We're at home in bed." he said gently and she nodded. "What happened?"
"Nightmare." she said and he nodded.
"What was it?"
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
"Just all the times I fought Robotnik, when I left and all that shit." she said and he nodded and gave her a kiss.
"It's OK. I'm right here." he said and held her close.
"I miss Tails." she said and he sighed.
"I miss him too."
Chest now, he takes off her
Then they looked at each other and kissed.
Dress now, let me go
Knuckles started taking Sonic's shirt off her and she started taking his pants off him.
And I just can't look, it's killing me
Then they started having sex and Sonic grabbed his neck and kissed him and he kissed her back.
They're taking control
While they had sex they thought about how the Infinite War started.
"Eggman is attacking! Eggman is attacking!" Rookie said.
"Nobody panic! We've been preparing for this! Everyone take your positions!" Vector said.
"Take your unit to the main gate." Espio said.
"Yeah!" Charmy said. "Time to show Eggman what we can do!"
"Hey rookie! Get down here and help shore up the defenses!" Vector said so Rookie slid down.
"Hrrrngh!" Rookie said.
"If you can't do it, say something!" Vector said. "We don't have time to waste!"
"You don't look busy. Here..." Espio said and handed Rookie a Wispon.
Rookie smiled and held the Wispon then hit Charmy with it.
"Yow!" Charmy said holding his stinger.
Then Charmy and Espio ran with Espio holding the Wispon.
"It's coming down!" someone said.
"Looks like it's time to earn our pay, boys!" Vector said.
"Roger!" Espio said.
"My stinger stings..." Charmy said but they got to work while Rookie hid.
"I'm a failure. A coward. A fraidy coward. A..."
"Somebody launch the bombs!" Vector said. "The robots haven't gotten to the artillery cannon yet! Somebody bring down that battleship!" he said while Rookie was hiding.
Then he ran, got on the machine and shot at Eggman.
"What?! A direct hit to the launch bay?! You may have stopped my invasion, but i'll be back with more! Much more!" Eggman said.
"It's over... For now..." Espio said.
"Good job Chaotix. Take five then let's work on organizing an evacuation." Vector said.
Then the rookie got back to the ground.
"I shot at Dr. Eggman. I shot at Dr. Eggman and lived! I..." Rookie said.
"Hey! You!" Vector said and he looked at him. "Way to go buddy! That shot was one in a million!" he said and patted the Rookie on the back.
"An excellent tactical choice!" Espio said.
"Yeah! You were cool! So cool I'll forgive you for burning my butt!" Charmy said and shook hands.
"Th-thanks! Sorry about that..." Rookie said.
"Okay-break's over!" Vector said. "Let's get these villagers somewhere safe!" he said and they left.
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Knuckles kissed her neck and she groaned.
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
"I love you." Knuckles said and Sonic looked at him surprised.
"I thought you loved Sonia?"
"I used to but after knowing and working with you for so long I started loving you." he said and she smiled.
"Well, I love you to."
"Does this make us a couple?" he asked and she nodded.
"Yes." she said and he smiled and gave her a kiss.
But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Then Sonic saw all the times Sonic Underground fought Robonik.
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Then she thought about when she met Tails.
Tails was in a forest being bullied and one bully was holding him back, while two others were looking at an invention he had made.
"No! No, please don't! Leave it alone, you guys!" Tails said and one of the bullies raised a large stick. "Aah! No! Keep away!" he said but the bully broke the invention anyway.
Later Tails was carrying the broken invention and saw Sonic stop nearby, look around, then took off again.
"Whoa, that guy's cool! I wonder where she's going?" Tails said and followed her
Soon he was at a beach, discovered the Tornado parked there and climbed inside the cockpit.
"Wow, this plane looks pretty fast! But I bet I can make it even faster." he said, started tweaking the Tornado and repainting it.
Meanwhile Sonic was standing behind him.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked and he turned around.
"Sorry, but when I see a machine, I can't help myself. I hope you don't mind I changed the engine to make it faster."
"Hm. I like what you did with the color, too." she said and he chuckled.
"Come and see what else I did."
"So... You've been following me around all morning just to check out my airplane? Or is there something else you want?"
"Well, you see, I like to build and repair stuff. So they all make fun of me. You looked cool, so I followed you, and when I found your plane, I figured I could fix it up and we could be friends! ...If you want to."
"Well, what's your name, pal?"
"Miles Prower, uhh, but my friends call me Tails."
"My name's Sonic. Nice job, Tails. I could use a mechanic and a friend."
"You mean that?" he asked and she winked and gave him him a thumbs-up.
"You bet!"
I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
People was hustling and bustling with traffic and pretty much another normal day. In the sewers under the city, the water started to ripple and soon to form into waves that had the troughs between them become deeper and deeper. Above, no one was aware of what's happening. Back in the sewers, water started to flood the tunnels, while above ground, manhole covers started to be blown clean into the air as water erupted from them, causing panic as cars screech to a halt to avoid hitting the geysers, the streets started cracking and fissure, and water started to blast out of buildings, shattering windows and flooding the streets before a huge tsunami roared over the buildings. When it was all over, the city was a flooded wasteland. Several windows on one wrecked building continue to blow out before a huge rush of water burst out before reforming into the head of . The beast let out a loud roar before zooming in on its eye as it opened to look around with its reptilian pupil.
"If I wasn't just dreaming, that monster is a real menace!" Sonic said realizing how vicious Chaos really is then spotted the from the corner of her left eye.
Eggman then attempted to engage Perfect Chaos in combat.
"Eggman! Looks like he's after Chaos, too!"
"This Egg Carrier 2 was made because something like this could happen. You have defied your master, stupid beast. Now you must be destroyed at all costs!" Eggman said and open fired on Perfect Chaos, but Perfect Chaos demolished the Egg Carrier 2 with a massive beam of energy.
Eggman was flung away in his Egg Mobile after the Egg Carrier 2 crashed and exploded in a ball of fire.
"Aaaaahhhhh!" Eggman yelled.
"I've had enough! Who do you think you are, anyway?" Sonic said then Tikal arrived. "Oh, it's you! The one... who sealed Chaos... in the Master Emerald! Tikal!"
Tikal took physical form.
"My heart has always been in the Master Emerald, along with Chaos'. Now he's filled with anger and sadness. And If it goes on, he'll eventually destroy the world, like he did before!" she said and Perfect Chaos let forth a terrifying roar and discarded the now powerless Chaos Emeralds. "Look! he's absorbed the Emerald's power! He must be sealed in the Master Emerald, NOW!"
"How can that help? It won't change how he feels inside, will it? His heart will still remain in turmoil and his anger just won't vanish! He'll just be trapped forever!"
"What choice do we have?"
"Hey, Sonic!" Amy said.
"Amy!" Sonic said.
"Here, take this!" she said and handed out a Chaos Emerald.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Chaos only used the of the Emeralds. Sonic, you should be able to harness their real power!" Tails said.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I think Tails is right about this!" Knuckles said.
"Negative forces aren't the only way to empower the Chaos Emeralds. Our positive feelings toward each other can make them work. Our hearts together form awesome power."
Sonic closed her eyes and used the positive feelings of her friends and the citizens of Station Square to restore the Chaos Emeralds power and into . Then she flew off to engage Perfect Chaos in battle.
When she was done Chaos was his normal form. Then he spotted several of his organic kind, the Chao, and knew of their peacefulness.
"Chaos has changed again. This time for the better." Knuckles said.
"Yeah! Sonic must have neutralized it, so it's nice again." Tails said and Tikal arrived before Chaos.
"These are the chao you were protecting. They stayed alive for generations and now live peacefully with humans." she said. "The fighting's over. Harmony's restored, and life goes on." she said then turned to Sonic and company. "Thank you so much!"
Then she and Chaos levitate into the air and disappeared in a flash of light. Sonic noticed Eggman flying away.
"All's well that ends well, right? Sonic?" Tails said.
Then Sonic jumped between the flooded buildings.
Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all
Sonic and Knuckles reached the platform, and saw a hole in the center for the Master Emerald to be inserted. Knuckles took out the Master Emerald, and put it in.
"The servers are, the seven Chaos. Chaos is power; power is enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos. Only you can do this; stop the Chaos Emeralds!" he said and it spun rapidly and emitted a green aura.
Several mixed energies dashed around, and the Biolizard screeched. After shrieking again, it used Chaos Control to warp away.
"Is it gone?"
Then Shadow jumped onto the shrine platform.
"Is that what... Chaos Control is?" he asked.
Then the vibrations throughout the Colony intensify.
"Since we stopped the Chaos Emeralds, why is the Space Colony still on a crash course to earth?!" Knuckles asked.
"The Prototype is still alive! He's controlling the Space Colony as it is falling to earth! He has become one with the Space Colony, and is determined to keep it on its collision course!" Eggman said on speakers.
Then Sonic looked to Shadow.
"Sonic!" Knuckles said and she looked at him, then back at Shadow; who also looked at her.
Then Sonic and Shadow raised their hands in the air and the seven Chaos Emeralds encircled them. They closed their eyes and focused, making the Emeralds spin rapidly around them. Opening their eyes, they absorbed the powers; transforming into their Super forms.
The ARK was plunging down to earth, wrapped in fire. Super Sonic and Super Shadow sped to it, enveloped in a golden light.
"No way that's getting through!" Super Sonic said. "Now, Shadow!" she and they opposed each other and flew faster to the ARK.
"Chaos Control!" they said and rammed into the ARK, engulfing it in the light.
Having worn out his Super form, Shadow was falling down to the earth, with an purple-ish light under him.
"Maria... this is what you wanted, right? This is my promise I made to you..." he said and fell into the purple glow, blinking out.
The ARK reappeared farther away; motionless.
Sonic came in through the door.
"Where is Shadow?" Rouge asked and Sonic looked down then handed her one of Shadow's bracelets. "Do you really think... that the professor created him, Shadow, to carry out the revenge on all those who live here, on earth?"
"He was what he was. A brave and heroic hedgehog, who gave his life to save this planet. Shadow the Hedgehog..."
"I guess you're right..."
"As a child, I looked up to my grandfather because of all the great things he accomplished in his life. He was my hero, and I wanted to be a great scientist like him. But... did he really mean to destroy us?" Eggman said.
"I don't know. But what I do know is; we all did it together!" Tails said.
"You're right."
"So what's next for you, Rouge? Off again to find those jewels you love so much?" Knuckles asked.
"Nah, I think I'm gonna give up this line of work. Too much work, for too little pay. Anyway... I've got something better than jewels that I'm thinking about right now... ...It'll all work out, you'll see." Rouge said.
"If you say so."
"Created... the Ultimate Life Form." Sonic said.
"What's the matter, Sonic?" Amy asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. Come on! Let's go home! To the planet as cool and blue as me!" Sonic said and everyone left the room, but she stopped at the door, and turned back to the windows along the wall. "Sayonara, Shadow, the Hedgehog." she said and left as well.
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
A vast thunderstorm was raging in Eggman's fleet. Team Sonic, Team Dark and Team Rose converged on Neo Metal Sonic, who was standing at the top of a tower.
"Hmmhmmhmmhmm... All living things kneel before your master!" Neo Metal Sonic said creating an electrifying plume of light from his palm which blew up the tower. " Neo Metal Sonic sad.
Team Chaotix joined the others just in time to witness him undergo a transformation, and the teams watched on in horror. In a vortex of bright light and smoke, Neo Metal Sonic attached parts of the destroyed tower to himself and transformed into an immense metallic beast known as Metal Madness. Metal Madness let out a deafening roar.
"Metal Sonic has finally transformed!" Eggman said.
Then an enormous horde of panicked Egg Pawns made a hasty retreat to escape Metal Madness.
"So that's Metal Sonic?!" Sonic said.
"It's useless! Metal Sonic has combined your data with the power of Chaos and is super strong! We can't defeat it! Aargh... if only we had the seven Chaos Emeralds!" Eggman said.
Then Cream pulled out the yellow Emerald and showed it to him, and the others followed. Big had the purple one, Rouge had the white one, Omega had the green one, Sonic had the blue one, Espio had the red one and Charmy had the cyan one. Eggman was stunned at the sight of them.
"What's this? But how? Even with the Emeralds' power, our chances for victory are slim. It would take a miracle!" he said.
"Just leave that to me, Doc..." Sonic said.
"Sonic, no!" Amy said.
"I'm going with you, too!" Tails said.
"Tails..." Sonic said.
"You can count me in, too." Knuckles said.
"Knuckles..."
"Okay guys, we'll buy you some time. That way you can use your super powers." Shadow said.
Team Dark, Team Rose and the Chaotix non-verbally affirmed that they'll fight in the upcoming battle. Tails and Knuckles stood by Sonic's side, who turned in a circle to address all his comrades at once.
"Okay then, let's get ready to do this. We'll show that creep the real super power of TEAM WORK!" Sonic said.
Having taken considerable damage, the furious Metal Madness flailed about and roared. Suddenly, his fingers burst off and were replaced by long, slender blades which resembled wings, making him airborne. He had transformed into Metal Overlord. With a flap of his wings, the metallic brute shot off into the skies. Team Sonic was ready for the next stage and nodded in agreement. As they placed their hands together, the Chaos Emeralds whirled rapidly around their heads. Sonic crossed his arms, closed his eyes and transformed into Super Sonic. Tails and Knuckles found themselves encased in a protective shield, levitate upwards and joined Sonic's side. Then they zoomed forward to finish Metal Overlord once and for all.
The defeated Neo Metal Sonic was crouched on the ground in hopelessness as Team Sonic rushed over to him. His body glowed white and he reverted back to ordinary Metal Sonic.
"It's no use... but why can't I defeat you?" Metal Sonic said.
"Heh. Because... we're Sonic Heroes!" Sonic said.
Then the other three teams arrived.
"Sonic!" Amy said.
"Anytime you want a rematch, just let me know. I'll be waiting." Sonic said and zipped away with Tails and Amy running after him.
"Hey Sonic, wait up!" Tails said.
"Sorry to leave like this, but I can't let my Sonic get away!" Amy said.
"Good luck, Amy!" Cream said.
"Bye-bye!" Big said.
"Chao Chao!" Cheese said.
You'll always find your way back home
"Sonic sure hasher hands full." Knuckles said.
"I guess I'm outta here, too. I think I'll go hunt for someone else's treasure." Rouge said and strut away contentedly.
"She never gives up, does she?" he said and charged after her as she quickened her pace. "Oh no, you don't! Wait!"
"Guess that's it for this case." Vector said.
"Guess so." Espio said.
"But what about our money?" Charmy asked.
"Man, I almost forgot!" Vector said and Eggman was surreptitiously sneaking away, but the Chaotix saw him and gave chase. "That SLIME BALL!"
Omega was holding Metal Sonic in his arms. Shadow and Omega looked at each other in confusion.
Later Team Sonic was running through Seaside Hill.
"Alright! Our next adventure awaits us, so there's no time to waste! Yeah! We're SONIC HEROES!" Sonic said and his pals jumped and struck an ending pose.
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
In Babylon Garden, Eggman was in front of a huge door covered with markings.
"Where are you, Eggman?!" Sonic said and got off her board.
As she walked closer to Eggman, he reached into a bush and pulled out Amy.
"Haha! Look before you move!" Eggman said.
"Damnit!" Sonic said when Jet came into view.
"Hohohoho! Now then... just be a good hedgehog and stay still." Eggman said and smirked.
Then he started to raise Jet's control box up to the door.
"Now!" Sonic said and charged up the thrusters on her board, taking off into the air, leaving a whirlwind in her wake while Eggman shield his eyes. "Can you catch the wind?"
As Eggman opened his eyes, he saw that she was gone.
"What?! Where are you?!" he said.
"I'm here!" Sonic said and crashed straight down from above, sending him and Amy into another tornado.
Then she caught the control box as it flew from Eggman's grip.
"Hey, catch!" she said and tossed it to Jet; who caught it.
"Wh-what?!" he said as she landed in front of him; Tails and Knuckles next to her. "Hmph! I lost. So don't play games with me. I don't want your pity, nor do I need it!" he said and handed the control box out to her.
"Wha-? Are you crazy?" Wave said as she and Storm walked in. "If they don't want it, then let's take it. Treasure is treasure."
Jet looked down, but followed them.
"Ah, I think it's time to leave now. Tails?" Sonic said.
"Yeah." Tails said and he, Sonic and Knuckles turned to leave.
"So-NIIIC?!" Amy said and Sonic looked more than a bit scared.
"Amy...?" Sonic said.
"How could you dive into Eggman knowing I was there!?" Amy said looking at the ground.
"Well, Amy... I thought... it'd be... okay... with you, and, uh..."
Amy looked up, glaring at her then started chasing her with her hammer.
"Sonic! Come back HERE! AHHH! Sonic! I won't forgive you this time!" Amy said and chased Sonic back to Tails and Knuckles, and kept running around in circles.
Later Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Jet, Wave and Storm were all looked out at Babylon Garden from down below.
"So, you're leaving this place?" Sonic said.
"Yeah. The back of the carpet has more words of wisdom. It says, "This was invented to allow Babylonians to travel all over the world to gather treasure." Some things never change, huh? But enough of this friendly banter, Sonic. You better make sure you're ready when we meet face to face once again." Jet said.
"You bet!"
"Come on, Jet. It's time to split." Wave said and Storm hit her on the back.
"Hey, I wanted to say that..." he said.
Jet sighed.
"We should split, too. Right?" Tails said.
"Yeah." Sonic said.
Then Jet and Sonic tossed their boards in the air; leaping onto them, they move directly opposite each other. Curving back around, they jumped through the sky, passing each other; their boards' engines' exhaust creating an "X". They looked back at each other one last time, smirking. Wave and Storm dashed on ahead with Jet following.
"You may be the fastest, for now... but I'll be back, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Jet said and darted in between Storm and Wave, jumping off an arch in the sand.
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
Mephiles was flying the air with the seven Chaos Emeralds supplying him with power. Iblis' flames enveloped him and they remerged, re-creating . In , Tails, Knuckles and Amy were walking through the populated streets when suddenly the white light from Solaris envelops and the surrounding areas.
Solaris shined a bright light in the black void and Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Silver, Shadow, Rouge, Omega and Eggman found themselves on a floating fragment of Soleanna.
"What is this?" Tails said.
"Where are we? What's going on?" Amy said.
"Is this because of that light?" Knuckles said.
"The Chaos Emerald has disappeared..." Silver said.
"Silver?" Amy said.
"What are doing here? This is all so confusing..."
"It's all because of Solaris." Rouge said.
"It seems we were all caught by the spatial distortion. Iblis' seal has been broken. Due to Mephiles manipulation." Eggman said.
Then they saw Elise cradling Sonic nearby.
"Sonic?" Amy said.
"No... You don't think..." Tails said.
"Sonic!" Knuckles said.
Amy collapsed and began crying while everyone else was emotionally struck by Sonic's death.
"Mephiles played us all for fools! His plan all along was to cause the Princess to be consumed with despair that she'd cry." Eggman said.
"So that's why he wanted me to kill Sonic before..." Silver said.
Shadow turned away while closing his eyes and crossing his arms.
Meanwhile, Solaris began giving off strange, loud sounds.
"Solaris!" Silver said.
"This creature will consume all existing timelines. And time itself will collapse and disappear into nothingness." Eggman said.
"The instability of time caused this time-space rift." Shadow said.
"It won't remain for much longer."
"We've no time to waste. We've got to defeat it now!" Knuckles said.
"No, it is a transcendent life form that exists in the past, present and future. Defeating it here, now, would do nothing."
"No, I won't give up. There has to be a way. If you say it exists in the past, present and future, I'll destroy them all at once!" Silver said.
"Certainly, it might have been possible, if she was still alive." Shadow said.
"Sonic! Sonic!" Amy said.
While Amy cried and everyone else mourned, a blue wind blew by which Elise felt.
"Sonic..." she said.
"What's the matter?" Silver said.
"I feel... Sonic's presence in the wind. I don't think she's dead yet! I'm sure of it. It's not too late!"
Shadow was shocked but could tell something was different about her.
"Of course! Let's call him back with power of the Chaos Emeralds! Focus your thoughts on using its power to perform this miracle..." he said. "You can do it, Princess!" he said and walked over to her.
"I can?"
"You were the vessel that was used to seal Iblis. You should be able to use the gems' power to rescue Sonic's soul!"
"I'll...Do it!" she said and nodded.
"Solaris flung the Chaos Emeralds to the distant corners of this distorted world." Eggman said and adjusted his glasses into a radar.
"To collect them all in time, we'll have to split up!" Tails said.
"I'll go, too! Because it's for Sonic! So Elise... Watch over her!" Amy said.
Then Shadow, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Silver, Rouge and Omega left in separate directions, leaving Elise with Sonic.
When they found them all they went back to Elise and Sonic lied lifelessly in the center with the seven Chaos Emeralds surrounding her. Shadow, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Silver, Rouge, Omega and Eggman stood on the sidelines while Elise prayed to the Chaos Emeralds.
"Oh Chaos Emeralds, gems of miracles. Please heed my call." she said. "I wish to save this world. I wish to cleanse my father's sin. And, I wish to talk to Sonic... once again!" she said and the Chaos Emeralds started glowing brighter. "You have given me so many things. Now it is my time to return the favor. I care not what happens to me. But please heed my voice. Sonic, come back! To me... To us!" she said and the Chaos Emeralds and still lifeless Sonic started levitating into the air.
Then she kissed her and a bright light whited out the screen. When the light died down, Sonic stood before everyone, revived as Super Sonic. Elise fell into Sonic's arms from exhaustion.
"Thank you, Elise." Super Sonic said.
Everyone was happy at her return. After getting Elise back up, past Super Sonic turned to Shadow and Silver and transformed them into and . The trio of then flew up to combat Solaris.
"We got this guys, we're some of the strongest people here. It's four against one." future Super Sonic said.
They nodded and started.
Super Shadow, Super Silver and Super Sonic tried to go through it.
When they were done Solaris' light orb was giving off bursts of light and everyone was celebrating their victory. As a bright light enveloped everything, a white flame formed in a black void.
Sonic and Elise were floating in a black void.
"Did you destroy it?" Elise asked and a white light appeared.
"...No. That is the true Solaris." Super Sonic said and they moved into the light approaching Solaris' casing.
"This is where everything began. Who knew such a tiny flame could bring such devastation?" Elise said and took out Solaris and its candleholder. "If we put out this flame, Solaris will never exist, And then we'll never have to worry about the Flames of Disaster, right? But our encounter... You and I will never meet. It will never have happened. I... To tell the truth, I don't care what happens to the world!" she said and cried.
"Elise. Just smile." Sonic said and Elise smiled and Sonic assured all will be fine.
Then Elise softly blew out Solaris.
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
At Crimson Tower Team Sonic and Amy were riding in a desert toward the crater.
"Hm?" Sonic said.
Then the Babylon Rouges were seen standing at the base of the Crimson Tower.
"Heh, it took you long enough." Jet said.
"Where's Eggman?" Sonic asked and they hopped off of their Extreme Gears.
Jet pointed at the Crimson Tower behind him.
"They call it the Crimson Tower. It's the MeteoTech's signal tower. Commands sent out here relay through facilities across the world to control the robots. In other words, you're looking at MeteoTech's brain!" Wave said.
"That fink Eggman nabbed the Arks of the Cosmos we'd got and ran in there..." Storm said.
"What's he after this time?" Sonic asked.
"He's probably planning to use the stones' power to issue an order to all the worlds' robots from this tower. Sooner or later, he was planning to set the robots rampaging." Tails said.
"That was probably his reason for forming the MeteoTech in the first place." Amy said.
"The Eggman Land project again, huh? He never gives up, does he?" Sonic said and got on her Extreme Gear. "Well... Looks like we gotta storm the place." she said and started riding toward the Crimson Tower but suddenly Jet got in her way.
"Hold it." he said.
"Huh?"
"You think I was sitting around here twiddling my thumbs? Sonic the Hedgehog?"
"I follow you. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"First one to nab Eggman gets all of the Arks of the Cosmos!" he said and pointed at the Crimson Tower. "And the title of fastest creature in the universe!" he said surprising Wave and Storm.
"Heh, sounds like fun to me!"
"Let's get started!" he said and everyone rode on the main path leading towards the tower.
At Crimson Tower Eggman was in the mother computer's room. A container for the Arks of the Cosmos came out of the ceiling. Then he started putting Arks in it, when the door to the room opened and Sonic and Jet came in, followed by Tails, Knuckles, Storm and Wave. The wind of Sonic and Jet's Extreme Gears sent Eggman backwards and dropped the Arks of the Cosmos he was holding, which Sonic and Jet grabbed. Then he fell on the computer and got an electric shock. The master unit for the Arks of the Cosmos was rejected which Wave grabbed.
"So this is the master unit." she said.
"System error detected. All commands canceled." Mother computer said.
"My Eggman land plans are in ruins, after all these years!" Eggman said.
"Deal with it, Eggman! You're through!" Sonic said.
Then the ground started shaking. Knuckles walked up to Eggman and threatened him.
"A trap?! What have you done, Eggman?!" Knuckles said.
"Look!" Tails said.
"Babylon Garden..." Sonic said.
Then the Babylon Garden was seen outside the Crimson Tower.
"The resonance from all 5 power units must have called it down." Wave said.
"Then the legends were right..." Jet said and he and Sonic and Jet looked at their Arks of the Cosmos.
"Here..." Sonic said and threw her Arks of the Cosmos to him.
"H-Hey! We haven't settled anything yet!" Jet said and she got ready to go. "Turning tail and running away, Sonic the Hedgehog?"
"Running away? Who do you think I am? I'll be waiting... See you at the World Grand Prix."
Babylon Garden was floating next to the Crimson Tower and the inside of the mother computer room.
"Here..." Sonic said and threw her Arks of the Cosmos to Jet.
"H-Hey! We haven't settled anything yet!" Jet said and Team Sonic kept going.
Sonic waved him off getting him upset.
"Jet, we have other things to take care of. Let's hurry to Babylon Garden." Wave said.
Jet gave her the Arks of the Cosmos who put them in a suitcase. Then they looked at Team Sonic.
"I suppose we should head home, too." Sonic said.
"Hey, Sonic. Why do you think the ancient Babylonians sealed away that power unit in the Gigan Rocks?" Tails asked.
"Beats me."
"Something's not right..." he said and the painting of Babylon Garden in Gigan Rocks was shown. "The lightless black that assaulted the divine wings..." he said and the painting vanished into a black spiral then a picture of SCR-HD exploding, with its Ark of the Cosmos in its center. "And how that robot chasing Amy just exploded... Oh! We can't let those meteorites get near Babylon Garden!"
Everybody looked at him then an earthquake occurred. SCR-HD broke through a window and started looking for the Arks of the Cosmos. SCR-HD found them in Wave's suitcase and knocked her away to take it. SCR-HD took off and flew towards Babylon Garden. Sonic looked out the broken window.
"How is that thing still flying?! ...Eggman!" she said.
"I don't know!" Eggman said.
"Whaaat!?" she said confused.
"All I can say is that something nearby is generating a massive electromagnetic pulse. That may have forcibly engaged the program in the robot's buffer!"
Tails, Jet, Knuckles and Storm were standing behind Wave and Tails and Jet helped sit up.
"Sonic, the Babylonians weren't able to control the power of those meteorites!" Tails said confusing everyone.
Sonic turned to him and the others.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I figured out how they can change gravitational polarity! It's a black hole!" Tails said and the Babylon Garden was shown with light emerging from it. "The meteorites amplify gravity to form black holes-that's the lightless black that attacked the divine wings!"
Every part of the Crimson Tower was shaking.
"The power units are resonating together, forming a giant black hole!" Eggman said.
Everybody was surprised so Jet ran to Sonic and both of them looked outside.
Blue rays of light came out of the Babylon Garden and enveloped the island in a blue light sphere while its stone structure fell apart. Suddenly, Babylon Garden's light exploded creating a colossal shockwave that swept over the landscape. The Crimson Tower's windows were broken and a lot of dust came in. As Team Sonic braced themselves the shards of the windows started floating.
"Wh-what the...?" Sonic said.
Babylon Garden, now Astral Babylon, was sucking everything as a black hole. The Babylon Rouges were surprised. Crimson Tower was gradually pulled apart. Team Sonic was pulled towards the black hole, but they grabbed a hold of the surroundings. A lot of tornadoes were formed outside with one hitting a part of the Crimson Tower. The Babylon Rouges also grabbed a hold of something.
"At this rate, the whole planet will be sucked into the black hole!" Tails said and lost his grip and was pulled toward the black hole, but Sonic caught him.
"Hah!" she said.
"Thanks, Sonic!"
"The world is doomed!" Eggman said and pressed a button and his chair retracted into the floor with him on it.
"Wave! How can we stop this storm?" Jet asked.
"The core unit in the engine room powers the Babylon Garden. If we can disconnect it, that should do the trick." Wave said.
Then Jet turned to Team Sonic on their Extreme Gears.
"I'll go on ahead!" Sonic said and they flew out of the window toward the Babylon Garden and the Babylon Rouges followed them on their Extreme Gear.
Back in Monopole, Team Sonic and Amy's car was heading down a tube, with Tails at the wheel, Sonic next to him, and Knuckles and Amy on the back seats.
"Hmm... I wonder what those meteors really were..." Amy said.
"They had some programming that made them try to gather up the other units." Tails said.
"Yeah?"
"It activated when Eggman found the first piece and put it in the mother computer. All the robots went berserk because they were all connected to the network. At least, I think that's what happened."
"But who made that program?" Sonic asked.
"I have no idea. Maybe those ancient Babylonians... Or maybe someone even more ancient... Maybe it was a warning, for people to stay away from power beyond control."
"But the people of Babylon..." Knuckles said.
"I can't believe they were the descendants of aliens..." Amy said.
Then there was a circular explosion in space and Astral Babylon emerged from the hole and headed towards earth.
"They crash landed on this planet in ancient past..." Tails said and the Arks of the Cosmos were rejected from Astral Babylon. "They disconnected the unit..."
"And left it in orbit, hoping that someday, it would fall back down to the surface." Amy said and Astral Babylon was shown in the night sky and a shooting star passed. "Every time they saw a shooting star..."
Then it was back to the present and Sonic pointed to sky.
"I bet they'd wished they could get back to their home planet." she said.
Something was chasing Team Sonic and Amy's car.
"Maybe that's why people started wishing on shooting stars." Amy said and the pursuer was getting closer to the car.
"Sonic!" Jet said.
"Hm?" Sonic said and looked behind ten saw Jet chasing them.
Jet came near the car and looked at her as he passing. She smiled and got on her Extreme Gear and started racing him through the road tube and among the cars. After a few seconds, Jet passed by a section in the tube, with Sonic right behind him.
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
One of the Time Eater's arms disappeared into a Time Hole. Both Sonics jumped and tried to attack the Time Eater, but got knocked away. Before they could recover, the disappeared arm reappeared and smashed them into the ground.
"That was just to soften you up. Now it's time to meet your doom." Modern Eggman said and the Time Eater got ready to strike.
"You can do it, Sonic!" Amy said.
"Come on, Sonic. Smack him!" Knuckles said.
"Ugh. not you!" Modern Eggman said.
Shadow was standing and looking as Rouge flew down next to him.
"You got this, Sonic!" Shadow said.
"You can win, Sonic!" Rouge said.
"Who are they?!" Classic Eggman asked.
"They are insignificant!" Modern Eggman said.
Then Vector and Espio ran up and Charmy flew in.
"You got the power, Sonic!" Vector said.
"Focus your spirit!" Espio said.
"We're with you guys!
Cream and Cheese were looking on while Blaze ran up and Silver flew in.
"I believe in you, Sonic!" Cream said.
"Don't give in, Sonic!" Blaze said.
"I know you can do it, Sonic!" Silver said.
"You can win, Sonic!" Classic Tails said.
"You always do!" Modern Tails said.
The Chaos Emeralds suddenly appeared, swirl around both Classic and Modern Sonic, and lift them into the air. Regaining consciousness, Modern Sonic clenched her fist as the Emeralds power her up.
"Time to scramble some Eggmen, SUPER SONIC STYLE!" Modern Sonic said and they transformed into their Super, then flew towards the Time Eater.
In Modern Sonic's meadow Sonic's chili dog dropped from the sky and into her hand. Sonic then smelled it and took another bite out of it.
"Yeah, I thought so."
Modern Sonic: Still warm." she said then laughed and threw the chili dog into the air, then caught it. "Time travel!"
Then Classic Sonic ran up to Modern Sonic. Suddenly, a mysterious sound was heard and they looked as all their friends appeared. Everyone cheered in relief at their victory.
"I'll admit. You weren't half bad Sonic." Knuckles sad.
"Half bad? Are you kidding?" Amy said flabbergasted. "She was all great!" she said and smacked him into a tree.
Knuckles was stunned.
Then Classic and Modern Tails walked up to the party while talking to each other.
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
"He collects how many? Wow, where does somebody put all those gold rings?" Classic Tails asked.
"You know what? I don't know. I keep forgetting to ask." Modern Tails said.
Later Espio talked with Vector and Charmy, Knuckles talked with Rouge, Silver, Blaze, and Shadow talked with each other, and Amy, Cream, and Cheese talked to both Modern and Classic Tails, while Modern Sonic talked with her past self.
Modern Sonic: It was great teaming up with you. Hope you learned a few tricks that will help you out in the future. I mean the past. You know what I mean." Modern Sonic said.
Classic Sonic nodded and pointed at herself pompously. Then she ran and jumped, trying to do an Air Boost, but only for a split second. She stood in mid air and then fell down, landing on her head.
"Dude, sweet! And you're only going to get better." Modern said and Classic ran up to her while she talked, and then Modern and Classic Tails walked up.
"There's our ride!" Classic Tails said.
A Time Hole was seen leading to Green Hill. Classic and Modern Sonic and Tails high five and ten each other. Classic Sonic and Tails ran to the portal. Amy, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Cream and Cheese, Blaze, and Silver looked watched. Espio, Vector, Charmy and Knuckles waved goodbye, followed by Cream and Cheese, Amy, Rouge, Blaze and Silver while Shadow just looked.
"Hey Sonic! Enjoy your future. It's gonna be great!" Modern Sonic said.
Sit back and say to myself.
Classic Sonic gave a thumbs up as she and Classic Tails jumped into the portal and it disappeared, as Modern Tails and the rest still waved, while Sonic just looked on.
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
The trio individually perform fighting stances and take off to face Sonic.
Sonic attempted to call Amy and Knuckles on the Miles Electric but fails.
"Amy? Knuckles? Anybody?" Sonic said and sighed.
Sonic met up with Zeena, Zor, and Zavok and groaned.
"I'm getting tired of you guys." she said.
"Don't be so whiny, man. That's MY deal." Zor said.
"Give up now and join your friend." Zavok said and Tails flew in, having seemingly been converted into a mindless cyborg.
"Tails! Oh, man, when I get my hands on you guys..." Sonic said.
"We promise, you will be happy in our service." Zeena said.
"I'll never serve you."
"I was hoping you'd say that. Destroy Sonic." Zavok said.
Then Tails pointed his gun at Sonic, but then quickly turned and started shooting at the Deadly Six.
"NEVER!" he said.
"What!?" Zavok said.
Then he, Zeena and Zor jumped away.
"Good to have you back, Tails! I'll take it from here!" Sonic said.
After the fight.
"Nice work. Now it's time to do my job and shut this baby down." Tails said.
"It IS off! Who could have done that?" Sonic said.
Then Eggman appeared in a giant mech.
"Me, of course. I needed some "alone time" to supercharge my mech after you got me past the Zeti. Faking my death was the perfect way. And now my ultimate weapon is complete! Finally, with the energy I took from the Extractor, I can rule the world! Pity about the damage done down there, but there's still enough left there for me to conquer." he said.
"The only thing that's gonna get conquered is your face, Eggman!" Sonic said.
Later Tails was typing on a computer.
"You know you never needed Eggman, right? I could have turned this thing off myself." he said.
"Sorry about that, Tails. I'll never doubt you again." Sonic said.
"It's cool. Oh, and here's something that even Eggman couldn't do. I just reprogrammed this machine to return our world's stolen energy. In your face, Eggman.""
"I'll be back, Sonic. I'll find another conch, and the Zeti will be mine once again. Only next time, I'll make them stronger." Eggman said and jumped off a cliff and froze in midair. "Hm...funny. Why isn't my jetpack working?"
"Maybe because I borrowed the exhaust hose?" Sonic said and pulled out the exhaust pipe for Eggman's jetpack.
"Sonnnnnnnnnniccccccc...!" he said as he fell.
Orbot waved good bye as he and Cubot saw Eggman fall.
"Here's your energy back, world. Bon appétit." Tails said and pulled a switch and all of the world's missing energy was brought back.
Later Amy and Knuckles were celebrating and then Sonic and Tails came.
"Hey, Amy. Looks like springtime's come early." Sonic said.
"Thanks to you and Tails." Amy said.
"I would have wrapped this up sooner, but whuddayagunnado?" Knuckles asked.
"Y'know, after a day like today I could enjoy a nap on some fresh green grass." she said and laid then down and shut her eyes as Amy, Knuckles, and Tails walked up to her.
Chest now, he takes off her
Sonic grabbed Knuckles' back and he groaned then did the same to Sonic who groaned back.
Dress now, let me go
At the Eggman Empire Fortress the Resistance was facing the oncoming opposition from the Eggman Army. Knuckles and Sonic nodded at each other and Sonic turned around and raised her arm. A large group, possibly a battalion of Resistance infantry at least, stood behind her, Knuckles and all their friends.
"Let's go!" Sonic said and they charged forward, yelling and shouting, and started fighting their way through the army.
Gunfire flies everywhere as the Resistance troops unleashed various Wispon firepower on the approaching replicas. Knuckles knocked out a Zavok replica.
"Take this!" Knuckles said.
Meanwhile Shadow knocked out a number of replicas, Silver psycho-kinetically immobilized three replicas, which the Chaotix members knocked out shortly afterwards, Amy smashed a Metal Sonic replica Silver immobilized with her Piko Piko Hammer, and Rouge kicked out some more immobilized replicas. The Resistance charged forward, easily tearing through the replicas as they advanced. At the end of the first wave was Infinite, flying and looking onwards at the approaching rabble. Sonic rushed towards him quickly.
"Hey, Infinite! Long time no see! Did you miss me?" Sonic said.
"Why yes, I did. I've been looking forward to finishing you and your annoying friends." Infinite said as she was joined by rest of her friends to confront Infinite together. "I trust you're all ready for oblivion? If you're not... oh well." he said and unleashed a powerful wave of energy, knocking back the Resistance.
Suddenly he was shot at, and managed to deflect some of the shots. Omega dropped down from the air, appearing before everyone, fully repaired and operational.
"What!? Who dares!?" Infinite asked.
"Target reconfirmed. Extermination mode initiated. Payback INEVITABLE." Omega said.
"Omega! You've joined us!? Awesome!" Rouge said.
"Is there no end to these annoying insects? I will burn your resistance to ashes, and you along with it!" Infinite said and with a furious shout, shot a beam up into the sky, creating a replica of the sun with his Phantom Ruby prototype, to everyone's shock and disbelief.
"Whoa, you've got to be kidding. That's just a special effect, right?" Knuckles said.
"No, it's not! While we're under the Phantom Ruby's control, it's a part of our reality!" Tails said.
"Unbelievable! What chance do we have against that?" Espio said as Eggman came by in his Egg Mobile.
"The sun will fall upon you all. BOOM! THE END! Your pathetic lives are over." Eggman said and grinned viciously then the Avatar overlooked the battlefield.
Then Tails flew in beside them. The Avatar's Phantom Ruby prototype started to react.
"Look. It's reacting. Eggman said something about the Phantom Ruby prototypes. Let me see." Tails said and and the Avatar gave him the prototype getting it to stops reacting. "Whoa, it is." he said and gave it back. "He said that the Phantom Ruby prototypes only react to the person who has activated it. That must be you, buddy! Your courage and heroism are probably what triggered it. Just maybe, if you use this, it can make that sun disappear."
The Avatar looked downward at the prototype and then onward again towards the sun.
The Avatar looked downward at the prototype and then onward again towards the sun.
Meanwhile Infinite hovered above the Resistance menacingly thanks to the glow cast upon him by his virtual sun.
"Make peace with your fate, because your lives are now over!" Infinite said and the Avatar's Phantom Ruby prototype reacted again, and the Avatar tightened their grip on it as a look of fresh confidence scowls on their face as they made up their mind to stop Infinite.
Infinite flew away, while Eggman cackled madly as he prepared to watch Sonic's friends perish and seize ultimate victory.
"Mwa-hahaha! Three," Eggman said and The Avatar headed towards the sun. "two, one, zero!" he said and The Avatar dashed into the sun, prototype in hand.
Meanwhile Tails watched while flying.
"Buddy?" he said and The Resistance watched in breathless anticipation.
After several seconds, the sun was seen getting closer and closer, before it disappeared from the sky completely, with only a red beam falling from it. They cheered at having been saved from total annihilation.
"The sun! It's gone!" Knuckles said.
"Wh-What? What just happened!?" Eggman asked and saw the red beam falling from the sky and followed it to investigate what ruined his near victory.
Shadow smirked. The red beam was actually the Avatar with the Phantom Ruby prototype. Upon landing with their grappling hook, the prototype broke and dissolved, and the Avatar collapsed to the ground, visibly weakened from the effort. Eggman arrived in total flabbergasted disbelief when he discovered what happened.
Eggman pointed at the Avatar.
"Impossible! I thought all the prototypes were destroyed!" he said and Tails flew beside the Avatar to pick them up as the Avatar groaned weakly.
"A costly oversight, Doctor. That's why I always check and double check as any good scientist would." Tails said.
Back at the battlefield.
"This is the turning point, guys! Time to press our advantage and kick major butt!" Knuckles said and The Resistance forces cheer in agreement.
They all knew Sonic and Knuckles made a great team when they worked together and were happy they did.
At Eggman Empire Fortress Sonic was facing Infinite as the latter hovered in the air over the edge of a ramp before the Central Tower of the fortress.
"Pathetic little hedgehog. Even with the Phantom Ruby weakened, I still have enough power to smash you into blue jelly. I'll show you how outclassed you really are!" Infinite said.
"I'm in a class all my own. Time to put-up or shut up," Sonic said and pointed at him. "Infinite!" she said and ran up and leapt at him.
Infinite fully charged up his Phantom Ruby prototype back to full strength.
"You're done for, Sonic. The Phantom Ruby's energy is recharged." he said and performed a powerful energy wave. "Perish, along with your useless friends!"
Then the Avatar intervened in the battle, shooting out their grappling hook at Infinite who dodged and glared at the Avatar, who scowled right back.
"You!" he said and The Avatar landed beside Sonic and both train their angry glares at Infinite.
"My friends got me this far, and together we're gonna win!" Sonic said.
A few minutes later Infinite was in a glitch-like state on the ground before Sonic and the Avatar after having been dealt a powerful defeat by them.
"Impossible. I cannot be defeated." Infinite said.
"Wrong, loser! The things that can't be defeated are heart, soul, and the bonds of friendship. Three things you and your counterfeit cronies lack!" Sonic said and he pounded his fist on the ground in frustration at her truth, before finding himself being lifted into the air against his will.
"No, wait! I can still fight!" he said and struggled to stand up.
After a couple more strained gasps as he continued to struggle against the force working against him, Then he faded away and his Phantom Ruby prototype was dragged off to an unknown location. Sonic and the Avatar looked at each other, puzzled, The Avatar shrugged in confusion before they turned their attention forward as Eggman approached them in his Egg Mobile.
"You never fail to surprise me, Sonic. I didn't believe Infinite could lose. Victory will be so much sweeter when I defeat you. Don't think this is over yet, you blue nuisance. My plan just went into overtime!" Eggman said.
Then Sonic and the Avatar landed on the ground after leaping out of the Central Tower following destroying the Phantom Ruby reactor. They waved to the incoming Tails and Classic Sonic.
"We did it! Eggman's army's is officially butt-kicked! We won!" Sonic said and tried to fist bump the Avatar, but they were interrupted by a small earthquake.
The Avatar quickly grits their teeth and scowls as they look around for the source of the interruption, unaware of a large, inhuman mech rising out of the crater behind them.
"Oh, come on! Now what? Can't we ever just win and have that be the end of it?" Sonic said.
"Look!" Tails said and Eggman emerged with a giant Death Egg Robot.
"Gotcha! The fortress reactor was just a decoy. A true winner always keeps his trump card hidden until the end." Eggman said.
"Sonic, what's going on? There aren't less enemies! There's MORE!" Vector said over the radio.
"What?" Tails asked.
"How could there be so many?" Amy said over the radio.
"Confirmed sightings indicate Shadow, Metal Sonic, Zavok, Chaos, Infinite... Thousands of them!" Rouge said over the radio.
"What have you done!?" Sonic asked and Classic Sonic gritted her teeth in anger.
"Mwa-hahaha! I merely incorporated the Phantom Ruby into this Death Egg Robot." Eggman said.
"But that means the Phantom Ruby no longer has a vulnerable energy supply. It's an invulnerable ruby?" Tails said.
"A good deduction, Tails. This Death Egg Robot has... No, I have surpassed Infinite to become the complete and ultimate form. You will be crushed by this Death Egg Robot powered by the Phantom Ruby," Eggman said and the Sonics and the Avatar got into battle stances. "and in the end everything will still be just as I planned!" he said and cackled maniacally and sent out a powerful energy wave at his adversaries, nearly knocking them off-balance.
Then Sonic stepped forward.
"Your plan will end like all your plans do: with you sitting in a pile of busted robot parts wondering how you failed so badly. Let's get him." she said and she, Classic Sonic and the Avatar charged at the Death Egg Robot.
As the shattered shard of the destroyed core of the Death Egg Robot rain down around the battlefield, the Eggman Army replicas started to disappear as the Resistance continued blasting away as many as they can. Soon, they were all gone, leaving the Resistance forces standing alone and victorious.
"All right! We won!" Knuckles said and they started celebrating. "I knew we'd do it!" he said and The Chaotix nodded in agreement.
"Piece of cake." Rouge said and Shadow looked back at her and smirked.
"Yeah!" Silver said and Amy gave him a thumbs up.
"We did it!" Amy said.
A dog Resistance trooper helped pick up a wolf Resistance trooper.
"Are you okay?" the male dog asked.
"Thanks. Woohoo. We did it!" the male wolf said.
"Alright!" the male bear said.
"Yes!" a female cat Resistance trooper said and the entire Resistance cheered for a job well done and ultimate victory over the Eggman Empire.
The core Resistance members were gathered, facing Classic Sonic who started to fade.
"I guess this is good-bye. Get home safely, Sonic," Tails said and Classic Sonic and Tails shook hands. "and thanks for everything!" he said and she gave him a thumbs up and a smile.
Then she looked at the others, who also bid her farewell. Before leaving, she extended her arm to fist bump Tails and faded away smiling and waving. Tails weakly tried to grab her before she left but was too late. Sonic walked up and put her hand on his shoulder. The Avatar joined them.
"Cheer up, Tails, I'm sure we'll run into him again." she said and turned around to face the others. "Alright, guys! It's time we cleaned up the mess Eggman left this world in, and I'm not talking about those illusions he dreamed up for us! We need to fix the real world we all live in." she said and they nodded showing signs of agreement.
"True dat!" Tails said and The Avatar nodded.
"C'mon, let's go!" she said and The Resistance members cheered.
Later the main Resistance members were at HQ sitting around, talking to each other and The Avatar watched for a while. Then Sonic entered the room.
"Finally, an end to this endless battle. Everyone can go back home and relax. There's no need for the Resistance." Sonic said and Silver hopped down from the crate he was sitting on.
"Hold on, there's still a lot we need to do. We're just getting started." Silver said, Sonic nodded and The Avatar turned around to her and spoke their mind.
"What? You're leaving us? There are others who need your help? But OK, I'm not gonna stop you."
"Man, the first time I saw you stumbling around, I had no idea you could pull this thing together and see it to the end." Vector said and patted the Avatar's back. "I've changed my mind about you." he said and The Avatar scratched their head in embarrassment and laughed a bit over Vector's remark.
"I knew you'd come through, rookie. Well, I guess you're not a rookie anymore!" Knuckles said.
"You two did good out there. It's not like you just waited till the last minute to come in and act all cool saving the day." Rouge said pushing him to the other side.
Realizing she was talking about him and Sonic, Omega extended his hand outwards in her direction while she winked at him. Shadow, leaning against a few crates, raised his head slightly and grunted.
"Our battle is done and our resistance has come to a conclusion, but we'll be friends forever. A single person cannot restore the entire world. We have to work together and make a diligent effort!" Tails said and The Resistance nodded.
"Yeah!" they said in agreement.
Later Sonic was overlooking the City while the Avatar approached her and stood by her side, looking out at the sunset together.
"Hey, you're taking off, too? I was thinking the same thing. You gonna keep moving forward? No matter what, yeah? Heh, you and I aren't so different." Sonic said and the Avatar nodded in agreement. "See ya later, buddy!" she said and they grinned before fist bumping.
Then Sonic ran off while giving the Avatar a thumbs up. The Avatar waved back and set off in the other direction with their grappling hook, in search of another adventure.
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
"Good riddance." Nine said and smiled a little but heard Rebel groan as she twitched again. "Sonic?" he said as energy crackled, causing her to grunt.
"You were right, buddy." Rebel said softly and energy crackled, causing her to grunt. "Guess without the Prism energy..." she said and energy crackled, causing her to grunt. "I can't exist in the Shatterspaces." she said and he typed on the keyboard.
"With the Prism whole again, if I start the reformation process, theoretically, there's still a chance I can bring back Green Hill!" he said and her energy crackled, causing her to grunt.
"Green Hill?" she said and energy crackled, causing her to grunt again.
"Here goes." he said and stopped typing.
On the monitor the diagram showed the Prism on the left, pieces of the prism in the inset, and the portals on a grid to the right while the Paradox Prism itself glowed, whirled and shook. Renegade comforted Rebel as everyone flinched and braced themselves as the Prism burst a white light covering the screen. As soon as it faded, Silver looked up at the podium.
"Huh?" he said as the prism disappeared, with white vapor spewing out.
"The Prism! It be..." Batten said.
"Gone. And nothing has changed. Our attempt has failed." Rusty said.
"Look!" Nine said pointing up and ahead.
Rebel and her friends walked past a crack that had developed in the wall. Everyone gasped as they looked up to the purple sky with airborne rocks and portal gateways of different colors, which light up in their respective colors. Crystals from each colored gateway line up and merge together.
"The gateways... are reforming." Rebel said as the Blue Gateway completed its reformation.
"No Place!" Black said and the Green Gateway completes its reformation.
"The Boscage Maze!" Prim said as a separate colored group of crystals lined up close to the Green Gateway and Birdie squawked.
"I don't know what that is, Birdie." Thorn said and Shadow stared at it as the newly-formed gateway, glowed white.
"It's Green Hill." Silver said smiling.
"You did it, Nine." Rebel said and energy crackled, causing her to grunt. "I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to outrun this."
"Yes, you can, if you leave now." Nine said.
"Nine's right. You get to your home, we'll get to ours." Silver said to her firmly.
"Even if I wanted to, I can't. I'm outta juice." Rebel said.
"You're not doing it alone. Not when you got friends here to help." Renegade said and they looked at her confidently.
She smiled a little and Nine broke down and hugged her and Renegade who smiled and hugged back.
They're taking control
Sonic and Knuckles were on Angel Island.
"Sonic! Knuckles!" someone said and they turned to see Silver. "Oh good! You are here!"
"Silver?" Knuckles said covering his eyes from the sun.
"What's wrong?" Sonic asked.
"We've got big trouble! Eggman-" Silver started but was cut off.
"How can you be here? I thought you returned to the future?" Knuckles asked and thought. "Oh wait- I must be dreaming!"
"What? No! I've come back with a dire warning from the future!"
"Dire?" Sonic said.
"Well if this isn't a dream, then how do you explain that?!" Knuckles asked.
"What the-?!" Silver said in shock. "Where did Angel Island go?"
"This is Pachacamac's village... From the past..." Knuckles said and grabbed Silver's cheek. "Did you time-travel us into the past?!"
"Knuckles!" Sonic said.
"N-no! I just came back to your time! I don't know what's going on!" Silver said. "I came to warn you that-" he said and pointed at something. "Something's behind you!"
"Ha! You came all this way just for that?" Knuckles said pointing at Chaos. "That's just Chaos. He's the peaceful guardian of the Chao. He's harmless." he said and Chaos punched him.
"Knuckles! Are you OK?" Sonic asked worried and he nodded.
""Harmless," huh?" Silver said and helped him up.
"I forgot he's got a bad temper - but, i know how to put him in his place!" Knuckles said and punched Chaos but was hit back.
"Silver-" Sonic started.
"I've got this!" Silver said and used his powers. "Gotcha!" he said and was slapped in the face. "Augh!"
"That's a new trick. We're going to have to work together on this." Knuckles said.
"Right. What do you need me to do?" Silver asked and got up.
"Just get me a clear shot at his brain." Knuckles said and got ready. "Now!" he said so Silver used his powers and Knuckles punched Chaos hard and Chaos disappeared. "Where did Chaos go? What happened to the village? What's going on?!" he asked scratching his head.
"This all has to tie into the calamity that's about to befall us!"
"Excuse me?" Sonic said.
"Come again?" Knuckles asked with his arms crossed.
"Something happens in this time that brings the world to ruin! But the historical records are sparse or make no sense. I came back to hopefully head off whatever's about to happen and save the future."
"And you came to us. We wouldn't have known about anything on the surface until it was too late. Our involvement must be crucial to saving the world..." Knuckles said and thought. "...So We're going to be very involved! Whatever's going on I'll lead the Resistance against it!"
"No." Sonic said and looked at him. "I'll do it. I lead Team Sonic, Freedom Fighters and Resistance with Robotnik, I got this one." Sonic said and he nodded.
"I-I don't know if all that's necessary but I'm glad to have your help." Silver said.
"Let's go!" Knuckles said, grabbed Sonic and they flew or glided away.
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Then they looked at each other panting and sweating.
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
"I didn't know you were that good at this." Knuckles said.
"You don't know until you learn." Sonic said and he kissed her again.
But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Sonic was running through the desert when Tails and Knuckles came flying by in the .
"Hey look! It's Sonic!" Tails said and lowered the plane to greet Sonic.
"Yo Tails! Long time no see!" Sonic said.
"Sonic! Check this out!" he said and held out a letter from Eggman.
Sonic jumped and grabbed it, then started reading it. The message was
"Muhahahaha! Guess what, Sonic Heroes... I've finally developed the ultimate weapon! In three days, I'll conquer the world. Think you can stop me? Ahahahaha!" holographic Eggman said.
"Hmm... sounds like an invitation to party!" Sonic said.
"What are we gonna do, Sonic..." Tails asked.
"No worries, we've got this one." Knuckles said.
"Heh, think I'd miss this?! Time to crack that Eggman wide open... Yeah, let's party!" Sonic said and Tails and Knuckles jumped off the plane and followed Sonic through the desert.
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Then they stopped, looked at each other panting and smiling.
I never...
"I love you." Knuckles said.
"I love you to." Sonic said and they held each other close.
I never...
"Don't leave me." she whispered.
"Never." he said and gave her a kiss.
I never...
Then they lay down and relaxed holding each other close.
I never...
While Sonic fell asleep Knuckles stayed quiet while rubbing her back.
'Tails may be gone but I won't leave you. I'll be there until the end.' he thought and fell asleep.
