“This pony was spreading anti-Tambelon propaganda, your excellency,” said one of the guards, “His name is Stygian.” Grogar leaned back into his throne.
“Stygian. What a most unusual name. It seems you have a lot to learn about how I run things.”
“You are a false emperor!” screamed Stygian, “Everything here is nothing but an illusion!”
“If this were an illusion, it would have been created by the Phantom Ruby,” retorted Grogar, “This is clearly the real life. Not a fantasy. I worked so unbelievably hard to create this perfect world, and the first thing that happens is you, of all ponies, spreading lies.”
“So you admit to this world being fake.” Grogar thought for a moment.
“You aren’t entirely wrong,” Grogar responded, “This isn’t the real world, yes, but it isn’t fake. But since you know too much…” Grogar pressed a yellow button that popped up on his throne. “You will not be allowed to go back outside.” The bewitching bell appeared on Grogar’s neck. Grogar raised the bell. A blue magic aura appeared on Stygian’s horn, but soon disappeared into the Bewitching Bell. “Goodbye.” The floor beneath Stygian’s hooves opened, and he fell into the depths beneath. Stygian screamed all the way down. Dark liquid splashed up onto the floor.
"Was that entirely necessary, my emperor?" asked one of the guards.
"Completely. I will not allow Twilight Sparkle and friends to succeed once more." Grogar pressed another button on his throne. A video feed of Cain popped up.
"What do you need, old friend?" asked Cain.
"Send Metal Sonic. Capture Rainbow Dash. Feel free to do whatever else with her, I don't care."
Location: S.T.A.R. Labs, Central City, Earth-Prime, Spearpoint Timeline
Cain appeared inside the Time Vault, behind Eobard Thawne, who was viewing something through Gideon. Eobard closed what he was looking at before Cain had the time to see what it was.
"Well hello," Eobard greeted Cain, "Wasn't expecting you for another five minutes."
"Guess I'm a little early then. You know the thing about Sonic?"
"That's your job now."
"I have a different thing I need to do, and I was wondering if you could help me out. I capture Rainbow Dash, you get Sonic, and we're done."
"Send Metal Sonic. He'll do both."
"Okay? I guess I'll send Metal Sonic."
Location: Cult of Cain Fortress, Sonic's World, Spearpoint Timeline
Cain returned back to the headquarters of the Eggman Empire, now the Cult of Cain. Walking down the halls, he passed a few cells marked with names. He placed his palm on one door without a name. Blue energy wrote the name "Rainbow Dash" on the door. He skipped past two more doors, and arrived at the one marked with "Doctor Eggman". He breathed in, and opened the door. A flash of white light and a light red static enveloped Cain.
Cain and Eggman stood side by side, watching the sun crash down on the Resistance.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" asked Cain.
"Such a perfect way for those pesky rodents to go," replied Eggman.
"Very."
"You know, I've learned something over the time that I've fought this war." Eggman turned to face Cain. "This world isn't real."
Cain pulled out a Neuralyzer, and wiped the doctor's memory.
Cain stood in front of Metal Sonic's sitting form. "This is it. We're at the end. Keeping an empire stable takes a long time. Tambelon must stand." He activated Metal Sonic, and the robotic hedgehog stood up. Cain held his hand up, and a portal opened in front of it. "She's fighting Sombra's shadow demon army right now. Either wait until Dash is defeated or all of the shadow demons are." Metal Sonic nodded, and hopped through the portal.

"Dear little Thorax. How the mighty has fallen." Chrysalis laughed. "My child, have you forgotten who rules who?"
"I'm not scared of you."
"You came home only to overthrow me. I was hoping for something a little... nicer from my son." Thorax charged. Chrysalis sidestepped, and Thorax crashed into the wall. Chrysalis morphed her leg into a glowing baseball bat, and knocked Thorax unconscious. A hole opened in the wall, revealing three changelings. Two were the normal black and blue, but the one in the middle had the unmistakable purple eyes and wings of Pharynx. "Make sure your traitorous brother is secure this time." Chrysalis flew through the opening, just as it closed.
Pharynx picked up Thorax's unconscious body. "What an idiot," Pharynx muttered to himself. Pharynx flew Thorax through the holes in the wall, into a containment cell, with an uncountable amount of tally marks on the wall. "Don't be stupid this time."
Location: Kaossandra's Castle, Skylands-1, Spearpoint Timeline
Strykore wandered back and forth in the inner room where he once was held captive. He stopped in front of Kaossandra's spell book. The dark warlock placed his hand on the page of the containment spell. The dark cloud that once held him appeared once again.
"Kaossandra. Tell me again how you feel about this new predicament."
"The Skylanders will stop you."
"And where are they? Most of them have been locked in the dungeons beneath my feet. All except for Spyro. He left just before the spear activated. When he returns, however, Malefor will be waiting. And so will he." The portal cloud closed. Strykore stepped out of the room, immediately greeted by Kaos.
"Behold, not-father!" exclaimed Kaos way too cheerfully. An image of a purple dragon and a bearded man in a blue robe projected from Kaos's head. "Another world, where both Spyro, and Eon, are searching for something. I don't know what it is right now, but, if we find whatever it is, we can rule the Skylands, together!"
"Good. Now have fun at the bottom of the ocean again." Strykore snapped his fingers.
"Wait-" started Kaos, but it was too late. Kaos disappeared in a red and black flash.
Strykore walked back into the room. He flipped open the book, searching for something. He stopped on a page with dragons. The words on the page glowed gold, and shadow rose from the book.
"Good luck."
Location: Metropolis, Fandom Fights Alternate Reality
Time: Before Superman vs Homelander
A blue and green portal opened in the middle of Metropolis. Magical Douchebag and Predator appeared in the middle of the street.
"Phew." Magical Douchebag stopped for a moment, before being pushed onto the sidewalk by Predator. A car raced right over where Magical Douchebag was standing a split second ago.
"You're welcome," growled Predator. Magical Douchebag tossed a dog treat to Predator, who gobbled it up like a ravenous wolf. The spines on Predator's back glowed blue for a moment. The two stepped into an empty alleyway.
"Portalo!" shouted Magical Douchebag, "Envisio Voidium Relaes!" A purple vortex portal to the Endless Void opened. Purple lightning crackled around the portal. A purple spine shot through the portal, then another, and another. The two spines retracted back into the portal, before a purple spinning sawblade burst through the portal. The sawblade emitted a flash of purple light, and the light cleared to reveal Void Creature, taking a quick look around.
"This isn't the real world," noted Void Creature. He turned back to Magical Douchebag and Predator. "Where am I?"
"Well, we're in NightFlame's other reality," explained Magical Douchebag, "The one where he wants to be able to have a bit of peace from all the crazy stuff that happened. I don't have enough power to bring you all the way to the real world."
"We'll stay here for a while, wreak havoc on NightFlame's world," added Predator.
"Let's start with... Homelander."
Author's Note
Huh. I guess another timeline was created when the Spear of Destiny was used?
Anyway the next chapter focuses more on the heroes, and then it ends right there.
