"Arle, watch out!"
Suzuran District. Quaking at a rate and severity far beyond the Tohoku disaster in 2011. It was caused by rifts shattered, crumbling dimensions down. Ringo Andou (安藤りんご) and friends were blocked by the falling debris. Arle Nadja, a magical friend, got injured trying to navigate.
"Arle! This... this-this-this-is-is-is!" Ringo panicked. "Nonononono-"
"Urgh...!" Arle resisted the wound, but... "Carby!"/"カーくんーーー!"
"Guu-guuu!"/"ぐーぐぅ!"/"Aaargh!" Carbuncle got caught by some... brute consuming some magical toxic chemical.
"What!?" Arle looked on that brute.
"Who?" The friends spotted the brute.
"What is this silly creature that wanders off in front of the voice of the Wasteland?" The brute threw Carbuncle to Arle. "That weakling. You afraid? Very nice. I am-"
"Who in the logarithm are you!?" Ringo have no idea who he is.
"Call me Megalo Don. The voice of the Wasteland." The brute revealed. "What is this now falling place?"
"You mean... the mandalas?" Ringo looked up.
"Carby..."/"カーくん..." Arle hugged Carbuncle. "Ringo, please save us!"
"Do you fear me?" Megalo Don scoffed. "Do you?" *breathes*
"Amitie! Where are you!?" Ringo looked around.
The cracks slowly widens, showing off the distorted mandalas all over the place. Echoes of googols upon googols of screaming voices from across existence. At first, Megalo Don enjoyed it. But as the echoes went on, he felt... disturbed.
"What really is this?" Megalo Don is creeped out.
"Help us!" The residents called for help.
"Fine. If only to keep you in line." Megalo Don then carried Arle up, with Carbuncle on her side.
"Thank you..." Arle cheesed while she's being moved out.
"Mr. Don, please get to the gateway..." Ringo stepped out carefully, avoiding wide cracks and approaching a dimensional gateway.
Meanwhile...
"Oh no!" Super Mario rushing out of the now-destroyed Mushroom Kingdom, evacuating a few dozens of Toads.
A colossal crack on the sky, revealing distorted mandalas. Mario looked up in fear, while the grounds fall down in cracking.
"MAMMA-MIAAAAA!"
Meanwhile...
"Beat him down! Beat that monster up!" Hope then took control of the Dragonturtle.
"Fine." Reala scoffed. "Can't let that monster have his way."
"Nicole, stay Hegemony. You burn him down." Knuckles suggested. "The Shatter-residents will attack whatever the connection is-"
"You mean the... Zero Point tendril stuck into the Throne?" Hope noticed the tendrils all over the place, pulsing. "Yo."
"Seriously? Are we supposed to break the mysterious lines that pulses and pulses towards... an eldritch creature?" Society!Hope questioned.
The rebel justs hit the gas and turned around. Cue the Dragonturtle flying away.
"Everyone, he's going down!" Sonic screamed.
The remainder of the unified army attacked the evil hedgehog turned eldritch abomination, except for the Hegemony Gods who are still holding the Dream Orbs, seeing as these are receiving the multiversal powers of these gods.
"It's time I make up for my folly." Nine pierced through one tendril.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Now scram!" Kogoro assaults Shatter while the latter's in stasis.
The Shatter-verse's residents jacked the tendrils, and Hope brought her past self to the stuck mothership. The rest of the army minus the gods are combo-ing Shatter to knock him down continuously.
"The powers... omniversal power of existential creation..." Nine have a few tails left, and briefly fired Shatter with. "No. That will only power him up faster."
Nine was able to contain some of the pulses and thus an ample amount of Zero Point energy, thanks to his mechanical tails. Ditto Rusty Rose, 'cause she's a cyborg. The other Shatter-verse peoples however, not so much, as they're slowly being overpowered...
"No... I'm literally..." Thorn Rose saw her hands cracking.
"Wanna some help?" Ren Fujii loaded the time armor, effecting the Shatter-people.
The cracks got set back and slowed down, with comfortable results.
"Thanks, ye gods!" Dread then laughed. "Off we go!"
"This is Zero Point. The time armor can only keep it out for so long..." Ren growled in fear.
"Metsujin Messo." Hajun targeted the tendrils.
Cue the pulses disrupted, slowing down the power delivery.
"Nope." Shatter phased everyone.
"Everyone, watch out!" Yacker yelled.
"No!" Everyone halted in shock.
Cue a massive shockwave pushing the army away, and the tendrils went violently charged. It was sign of accelerated power delivery.
"What the...!" Magsarion still has his Dream Orb.
"No!" Yoshiya planted down to stop any further momentum.
"Yikes!" The 11th Doctor is knocked off.
"Where's my edits!?" Kasuga then noticed the edits missing.
"Zero Build." Kado turned to. "Here." *gives hand* "Get up, man."
The Wisps circled around, with the green ones carrying what's left that Shatter originally used to cause the Hyper Genesis Wave in the first place.
"Super Emeralds! Sol Emeralds! World Rings!" Sonic and his original friends as Team Sonic, all noticed.
"Oh! Finally! That mean he no longer need them anymore!" Tails then approached the system that activated the Wave. "Let me take them all off..."
Merlina turned around and approached stuffs, but Shatter used one tendril to trip her down and pull her to death.
"Get over here." Shatter pulled Merlina out.
"No!" Sonic blitzed in, and slashed the tendril off.
"Sir Sonic! Now!" Merlina recovered, freed and rushed.
"Hey! My video self and friends, go go go!" Movie!Sonic rushed to the setup.
"All right. We're freed the McGuffins." Tails took out.
"Shahra, Merlina... Shadow? President Miles!?" Sonic saw the body of the president.
"Uhhh..." Miles woke up.
"President!" Everyone nearby.
"So the brainwashed president is free and awake. Hold on... Hold on..." Mercurius caresses his Dream Orb.
"Come on!" Nicole growled. "Miles? President Miles?"
"What... No..." Miles finally remembered. "No no nonononono-"
"Calm down, President!" NiGHTs get cheesy and almost campy.
"What have I been..." Miles is horrified. "And where..."
"You were brainwashed, just like us. Serving for that monster of a hedgehog." Soujirou revealed. "It's so complicated. But what about something secret?"
"What about... Project Shadic?" Shadow dropped a bombshell.
"Wait... didn't it... fail?" Miles remembered.
"We can try that again. And besides..." Shadow then realized he doesn't remember some... threat before. "What kind of... hedgehog in some..."
"You mean Nazo?" Boom!Sonic dropped a bombshell.
"Nazo... Shadic used to be the end of that foolish lifeform. Thanks goodness he never existed in my timeline." Miles noted. "But Shadic is none anymore now. I don't have any successful candidate left. Shatter killed them all."
"President, what is Shadic?" Amy Rose genuinely and kindly.
"The fusion of my late friend, Sonic... and the ultimate lifeform, Shadow." Miles revealed. "Stop me if you've heard that from the internet."
"Hey, Sonic!" Captain Boomerang called Sonic. "It's about to fusion time. Drop the gauntlet!"
Shadow dropped the Inhibitor Rings, and silently urged Sonic to listen to Harkness and do it.
"Why?" Sonic asked bluntly.
"Because it's fusion time! You can use the gauntlet later after the fusion!" Both of them in unison.
"Boomerang is probably right, even though it's funny you would give up the Speed Force after relying on it for nearly your while adventure up until this point!" Harley Quinn cringed.
"Fine!" Sonic stored the Excalibur and removed the gauntlet. "Now no more mixing Chaos and Wisps. Man!"
"Give it to me!" Nimona shifted into... Bernadette Hedgehog.
"Mom!?" Sonic and his Archie counterpart are shocked.
"Oh no, fine, take this." Sonic shaked, and then gave the gauntlet to Nimona.
Nimona takes the gauntlet, wears it and shifts into the Flash.
"As a good monster, I can handle this magic." Nimona stretched and flexed out. "What can I do with this Speed Force?"
"Find whoever work with Shatter. That guy must the hedgehog's benefactor." Knuckles suggested. "Sonic, get more Super, and then go Hyper!"
"Sure thing!" Nimona then ran away, escaping the In-Between and phased out.
"Let's do this, Shadow!" Sonic locked in Super-2 form, complete with cyber corruption.
"It's Chaos Time!" Shadow boosted his Super phase with Doom Powers. "And remember, I'm the ultimate lifeform."
Team Freedom, not just Antoine, actually received some vision: all of existence literally falling down into pieces, remaining only some... eldritch phenomenon that is Shatter.
"Ze existence... to be shattered." Antoine realized.
"That's the true endgame of his." Sally realized.
"He's almost fully charged!" Nicole noticed.
The tendrils is set aflame by the sheer power transfer, as the Zero Point is forcibly drained of its energy. The mandalas became more distorted. Cue Nicole jerking off in pain.
"Nicole!" The rest of the Team Freedom rushed to her.
"The reality's collapsing!" The Loopers in Spawn Islands all panicked.
"God help us..." The emotions inside the mind prayed.
"Fuck NOOOOO!" Porky woke up in fear.
The Absolutely Safe Capsule malfunctioned in response to the existential destruction of all realities.
"Heheheheheh..." Shatter chuckles.
"He's... almost ready..." Nicole reverted back.
"My... base... no... corrupt..." Sage freaked out.
"No! Sage! Nonononono-" Eggman panicked.
"Naraka... No." Mithra then looked at her Dream Orb. "How do we use this?"
Shatter breaks the tendrils by sheer power, cruelty and egoism. He's fully charged, and now he's ready to end it all.
"Finally..." Shatter relished. "The infinite power..."
"The second Hyper Genesis Wave..." Miles realized. "Fuck no! Shatter! What have you done!?"
"Tails... Damn... Another betrayal..." Shatter is disappointed. "But no, it won't make a difference anymore. I'm infinite. Truly infinite."
"You absorbed the Zero Point powers just for... more Hyper Genesis Wave!?" Kado called Shatter out.
"Precisely. It's over. You cannot do anything. I am the end. This is The End." Shatter floats up alongside the overcharged Throne. "For I am the finale... death, destroyer of worlds."
"Super Emeralds!" Sonic clapped. "Merlina, Magdalena, Kado, go bring back all of me!"
"Ok!" The three gathered and had clocked the Creative device to bring out more Sonics.
"Super Emerald. Now." The Classic members went super, except Robotnik who covered Maria.
"Yaaaarrrgh!" Sonic and Shadow together screamed.
The Super Emeralds glowed, giving the two great powers. All the rings were also prepared earlier.
"Project Shadic begins!" Elise prepared.
"Nope." Shatter scoffed.
Cue a massively bright flash, reflecting through the twisted mandalas. It was Hyper Sonic and Hyper Shadow, together side-by-side, in front of Shatter.
"It's time we fuse together. And no time to waste!" Hyper Sonic called, his voice echoing through the In-Between. "Get the me going, and I fuse with Shadow-"
"Great. Now!" Deadshot commanded.
"Let's count down from 5. And as for you, Shatter..." Shadow echoed as well. "It's time we kill you. For real. You'll never be able to threaten even the Shatterspaces again, let alone any other worlds or timelines."
"5..." Elise blew raspberries.
"Nothing." Shatter dismissed.
"There's only one way to go, right?" King Shark approved.
"4." Mercurius called.
"Do it!" Miles cheered for the two.
"3!" The unified army cheered back.
"Hedgehog, don't fail!" Eggman yelled.
"2!" Team Freedom called.
"You can do it!" Sonia and Manic cheered them.
"1." Shahra smirked.
"Behold the ultimate power!" Infinite declared.
"Chaos Control!" Both Hedgehogs yelled.
Cue an even more massive, so seriously colossal flash of light, rainbow-flashing and reflecting everywhere within the mandalas, even glowing all the places cracked by the effects the Shatter did.
"Oh god..." Saint Advent of Happiness saw the flash.
"What the!?" MaSTAR is caught off-guard by witnessing the footage of the fusion.
"Jimmy, look!" Some crew called MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) about the cracks flashing.
"No. No. You cannot!" Shatter denied the fusion. "How? Your will... rejecting my effects and resisting everything!"
The result is a seriously spiky hedgehog, body mixed with Shadow's red accents, and he wearing the fused pairs of shoes (air shoes?). The unified in the zone saw the fused hedgehog in awe.
"Wow. That is a whole new unknown." Mercurius is impressed.
"Shadic..." Habaki witnessed the whole thing. "Now it is done. He has arrived."
"No... you're...!" Shatter is shocked.
"SHADIC!" The fused hedgehog cut to the chase.
Shatter then chuckles at the reveal. "You can pull any trick you like... but it'll only delay the inevitable."
"Because we're connected to the Throne..." Satanael added. "Now we know of your past. Your full past."
Flashback to creation of Shatter, the death of the Chaos Council, and later mayhems and rampages: him absorbing Nazo completely to gain more power, him slipping through time and getting the blueprints, him invading the world of President Miles by replacing the late Sonic, him plucking an alternative-timeline Amy Rose who would become Nightmare Rose,... eventually, to the original Hyper Genesis Wave.
"Crap! You've beaten me to those records!" Shatter is frustrated. "But that's ok. Because there's NOTHING I can't do!"
"Ok ok ok-" Captain Boomerang then suddenly exploded into ludicrous gibs, leaving only his Speed Force gauntlet.
"Boomer! No!" Harley Quinn panicked.
The rest of the Suicide Squad exploded, killed by Shatter's own new nature and leaving behind only their arsenals. Shadic quickly picked the gauntlet up.
"What a dick move, but at least I get the Speed Force again." Shadic then blitzed out.
"The Rings are now!" Infinite took the World Rings. "That one, you ready?"
The former rookie nodded, and raised the Dynamic Wispon. Shadic planted the Excalibur on the ground, and they pointed at that sword. As if commanding the Wisps to get the sword. Blaze took the Sol Emeralds and became Burning.
"No you don't!" Shatter tried to destroy the unified army by using his egoism to propagate unstable Zero Point energy.
"World fix!" Infinite hacked the World Rings using his Phantom Ruby. "Help with this mess!"
The Rosei and Ariem lend their effects, allowing Infinite to stall the effect Shatter is casting.
"Taikyoku!"/"太極" The emanators except the Hegemony Gods locked in. "Everyone, now!"
And boy, hoo boy, they attacked Shatter, doing the work of a teamwork. The Wisps listened to the rookie, and then entered the Excalibur. All the Wisps went to the holy sword, and it's going to charge it to the brim...
To be continued...
