Cream awoken to see two figures surrounding her unconscious mother. It was none other than Goldust and the one with him, who also exploded the church, was...

'Queen Blaze...!?', Cream though as indeed it was Blaze. However, she was completely different than when Cream met her. Of course, it was a long time ago when they met, but the Mage Bunny had a sharp memory.

However, she obviously doesn't know who Goldust was. She thought she could fight, but something told her not to. Part of it was fear, but there was also reality; the reality that her powee wouldn't stop that hedgehog. He was way too strong and she could feel it.

Not to mention there was Blaze. She was definitely strong and dangerous. Especially with her being broken. She was now a pure elite soldier for the Seelkadoom Syndacite.

Due to all of this, Cream had no choice but to run. She shed tears while she ran as she didn't want to leave her mother, but what can she do? She was still in training and her powers were weak.

Blaze was about to go after her when Goldust said, "No need. We got what we were here for. Let's get back to the boss." She quietly nodded as the two entered a shadow portal with the unconscious Vanilla.

Deep within Tradewind Palace a chubby Mouse Science with glasses and a lab coat was working on the a machine that would help Madam Petal reach her goal.

"So, it's almost done right?"

The Mouse turned around and saw the said Queen looking at the high technology around the room. He nodded and said, "Yes Madam, it's 97% complete. We just have two problems..."

"Go on..."

The Lab Mouse sigh as he didn't want to tell her this, but he needed to make it super clear; "You see my lady, We need a lot of power for this to work. However, the sacrifice that is our city is not enough. It's like... 15% of power. Of course, forcing your daughter could work... but even her power may not be enough. Then there's the issue with the true host not being found. Without the host, you won't be able to become the true Goddess you want."

Petal sigh and said, "Well, we could finally invade the Acorn Kingdom..."

"Please... didn't you hear what the young Mouse said?"

The two turn to see Lien-Da walking outta a shadow portal into the room. Petal eyes widened and said, "What does your Boss want? If it's part of the deal, I'll do it."

The Echidna smirk as she knew the Cat would do anything to get what she wants. Two years ago, the Syndacite had team up with Petal to control the world in exchange for what she wanted. However, over time she became too unhinged.

Not to mention her goal was getting in the away of their own goal.

"Well, the good news is we found your host and can provide you with our power. However, you need to kill the host's protector."

Lien-Da's words were music to Petal's ears; "Explain further please." The Echidna giggle at the Cat's response and said, "His name is Sonic. He's a Blue Hedgehog and he's with a Pink one named Amy. She basically your target. Once you kill him, we can finally give you want you want."

"Okay... but may I ask how exactly?", the Mouse chimed in. Lien-Da summon her Cube of Madness and explained her plan;

"For starters, we need to keep the other members of his team away. Also, the White Claw would basically come crawling out, so let's keep them at bay. Once Sonic dies in your own hands, your dream will come true."

Petal nodded and said, "Ohh.. it's easy.. I'll get my Elit..."

"That's another issue... You're Elites have betrayed you."

Petal froze all the way in pure horror as the Echidna not only show where they were, but also the past two days.

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

Petal scream in rage and madness as she unleashed some of her extremely deadly powers. The Mouse quickly summoned a forcefield and Lien-Da was unaffected. "I SWEAR TO KILL THEM! NINTEN! SUMMON THE ROBOTS! IT'S TIME FOR MY GODHOOD TO START!"

The Mouse, Ninten, nodded and started programming. The Echidna also explained how close Sonic's Team was. So, one group of robots would grabbed Amy while the others will go to the White Claws and destroy them.

Petal walked outta the lab, getting ready for her most important battle. However, once she disappeared, Ninten turn off the robots that were targeting the White Claw. The Mouse then turned around and said, "Alright... You're up to something. Why have Petal go off like that."

Lien-Da smirk and said, "Because she's in my master's way. Plus, we need to see how strong Sonic is. Now, why did you off those robots? Just curious." Ninten sigh and said, "Petal hasn't been treating me well and haven't payed me for my work. Granted, her Elite gave me some comfort, however payment is due. Plus, I don't really care about who's fighting who. I'm just a roaming scientist who'll join sides for a high price... and if that price is paid."

The Echidna chuckles as he reminds her of herself. "Well, what if I told you I have a job for you and you'll be paid royalty." The Mouse eyes raise as Lien-Da continue; "I wasn't lying about the White Claw becoming a bit trouble some. So, can you trap them in the mountains?"

"Honestly, I do have something."

Ninten then activate one of his deadly contractions; "This is 5X-CAV-9p-Rain. It may now be much, but in miles it creates a storm round it, both the city and the mountains with be hit with a storm that last 5 hours at max."

"Nice, not only will the White Claws be trapped in the mountains, but Petal will have the low grounds here. You really don't care who wins don't you?"

Ninten nodded and said, "I don't care unless it important to me. Honestly, I'm just a complete outcast who doesn't care. Now, what's the real job here?"

"Ooohh, you're such a treat. The real request is just as easy. I need a you to build a machine that reprograms Cybrogs."

The Mouse nodded and Lien-Da smile evily. This was about to get very interesting. Especially since she's able to pay the mouse.

Sonic awoken to a big boom of thunder as he realized he tooken a nap. Amy was asleep as well and Knuckles was staring at the mountains.

"What's up Knuckles?", the Hedgehog asked. The Echidna sigh and said, "Miles disappeared..."

"WHAT!", Sonic yelp in shock. Knuckles nodded and said, "Yep, but don't worry about it. I'm going to after him before he gets himself kill. Just stay here."

The Echidna then began to go to the mountains and Sonic look back at the sky. Something was extremely wrong.

"What do you mean that we're about to get with a storm made by Petal!?", Libolt shouted in rage. Flourish smile nervously while Gelid was deeply serious; both were in panic.

"You see... you're crappy mom hire a scientist and he's chaos neutral and..." The Brown Cat started and Sky Blue Cat sigh; "Say no more... WAIT! Didn't you say anything about Sonic was near the Kingdom?"

Before Libolt could say anything, a ninja appear and shouted, "We have intruder outside."

"Let me take care of it. Gelid stay here!"

"What!?"

Before Geild could protest, Flourish quickly ran out. Libolt sigh and turn towards Echo, "Get Hickory involved. This is his time for revenge. It's time for all of our revenges. It's time for the White Claw to fight back."
