After 6 months of gruelling and stealthy work Lisa managed to make a copy of the phantom ruby and fuse it with zero
"so zero how do you feel?" Lisa asked
"I am no longer zero... I am infinite!" Infinite said before using the copy phantom ruby to build Lisa a massive robot suit
"wonderful!" Lisa said
suddenly they heard an alarm
metal had noticed them and began to sound an alarm
soon all of the louds showed up
"Lisa what is this?!" Rita asked
"my revenge!" Lisa said as infinite opened a wormhole and everyone got sucked inside
meanwhile
sonic and his friends were visiting Lincoln and the others in the rebuilt the village
"man did these guys really a number on this place? because right now it looks good as new." Sonic said
"well everyone pitched in and helped return this place to its former glory." Lincoln said
suddenly they heard a loud "Boom" before noticing a portal had opened up in the centre of town
"oh that can't be good." Lincoln said
then a jackal in a mask with a gem in their chest and a massive robot dropped
along side 11 other things that dropped behind them
"hello Lincoln." Lisa's voice rang over the robot's intercom "you've taken away my ability to conduct experiments now I shall take away everything from you."
"Lincoln I'm here for revenge for the humiliation you've caused me." Infinite said
"lisa. And zero." Lincoln said "well zero did you get lost in a hot topic?"
"MY NAME IS INFINITE NOW DIE!" Infinite yelled before firing a blast
Lincoln dodged out of the way and met up with Lily and sonic
"sonic you and your friends distract the robot." Lincoln said "Lily you distract infinite while I get the people out of the way."
"I think someone is already distracting the robot." Sonic said
they looked and saw a robotic sonic attacking the robot
"well go help!" Lincoln said as the others got to distracting the two
Lincoln teleported behind the robot and saw some familiar faces cowering in fear
while his old face was unconscious
"hey ya." Lincoln said
"Lincoln?" Lynn sr asked
"in the steel." Lincoln said to which luan laughed at "I'm gonna get you guys out of here."
just then lily (with the phantom ruby in control) slammed into infinite
"that's your cue get to somewhere safe." Lincoln said as the louds ran to safety
"let's finish this." Lincoln said as flew next to lily
but then infinite flew towards them knocked Lincoln out of the way...
and ripped the phantom ruby out of lily before firing a blast before she could recover it
"LILY!!!!" Lincoln (and the louds) yelled
"with this gem reality is ours." Infinite said
"Yes! We got her!" Lisa said
(although she didn't feel that accomplished)
infinite threw the phantom ruby to Lisa however it was intercepted by shadow
"Lincoln catch!" Shadow yelled before throwing the gem to Lincoln
Lincoln caught it
"THIS PLACE SHALL BE YOUR GRAVE!!!!" Lincoln yelled before absorbing the phantom ruby before sending out a massive shockwave
meanwhile
as shockwave rang out spark's and Lily's old body began to shake before being turned into a robotic hedgehog and fox
"ah robot body how I've missed you." Spark said
"Finally metal tails returns!" Metal tails said "no more being a baby!"
both then flew out of the safe area to fight Lisa's robot
with Lincoln
Lincoln had transformed into a massive metal beast
M E T A L
O V E R L O R D
"DIE DIE DIE!!!" Lincoln yelled before shooting crystals at infinite
"you may have the phantom ruby but I am still superior to you in every way!" Infinite yelled
"CHAOS CONTROL! PUT TIME TO A HALT!!!" Lincoln yelled as time froze
and Lincoln began to enact his plan
when time resumed infinite was surrounded by crystals
"pitiful." Infinite said as he teleported out of danger before charging at Lincoln
however the moment he touched Lincoln, Lincoln's body turned into a plethora of cubes
"a fake." Infinite said
then a magenta light began to shine behind the clouds
"CORE BREAKER!!!!" Lincoln yelled as his normal form went flying through the clouds as he slammed into infinite
lincoln's body began to crack
"you're at your limit!!" Infinite yelled before teleporting away causing Lincoln to hit the ground
when the smoke cleared lincoln's broken body was sparking and electricity crackled
"quite the gambit." Infinite said "I respect you for it. Any final words?"
Lincoln's voice was distorted and glitchy
"as the man said what doesn't kill you..." Lincoln began
suddenly a hand ripped the phantom ruby out of Lincoln before tearing him into two
the being who did this was an orange quilled hedgehog his head quills were pointing upwards and his eyes were purple
"...just makes me stronger." The hedgehog finshed
"Lincoln?!" Infinite asked
"in the flesh. I poured all of my tricks into this new body." Lincoln said as he quills went black and his pupils vanished "now you're screwed."
Lincoln kicked infinite into the air before slamming him back into the ground
he picked him up by the leg before slamming him around
then once he was done he threw infinite into Lisa's robot right on the part where Lisa was controlling from within
Lincoln flew in the air before spin dashing into infinite slowly cutting into him
"DIE!" Lincoln yelled as he cut through infinite before cutting through the metal into Lisa's cockpit
"hi sis." Lincoln said before punching a hole through her "bye sis."
Lincoln cut his way through the metal on the other end before the copy phantom ruby exploded knocking down
Lincoln powered down before the phantom ruby beg to glow
Lincoln looked to it
"Lincoln thank you for showing me kindness." The phantom ruby said "now I shall give myself to repair the damage done."
the phantom ruby flew into the air before exploding sending out a massive shockwave reversing some of the damage done
Spark and metal tails were returned to organic form but metal tails's body was aged up to 4 to be capable of speech
"thank goodness." Metal tails said
then in a burst of light a purple hedgehog with orange eyes fell from above
"Lily?" Lincoln asked before he caught the hedgehog
"I'm Lily. Who are you?" Lily asked
"oh right new body." Lincoln said "it's me Lincoln."
"Lincoln!?" Lily said "You're soft and warm not metal and cold!"
"yup." Lincoln said before hearing a groan
Lincoln turned and saw Lisa barely standing the phantom ruby having turned the wound he inflicted into a scar
"one more loose end." Lincoln said as he walked over
"Lincoln wait!" His family yelled
Lincoln turned to them
"we know lisa has done a lot of bad things." Lori said
"to you and Lily." Leni added
"but look at you! you're basically a super hero!" Luna said
"doesn't that deserve a bit of mercy?" Rita asked
Lincoln sighed and turned to Lisa
"listen here second chances are hard to come by third chances are even harder but fourth chances are almost impossible." Lincoln said "don't make me regret it."
Lisa nodded weakly
then a magenta portal opened
"well that's your way home." Lincoln said "I'll figure out a way to contact you."
"you aren't coming?" Lana asked
Lincoln gestured to his appearance and Lana realized what he meant
"oh." Lana said
"don't worry I think i can come up with something." Tails said
"thank you." Lynn sr said "and Lincoln take care of yourself and make us proud."
"I'm glad you understand." Lincoln said "and i will."
