Multiversal Wasteland

Eggman didn't wasted a second and launched the wrecking ball of the Egg Beater against Opaline.

Opaline was sent backwards with a painful grunt, but she's been learning from her mistakes: Even if she rolled in the ground, she quickly stood on her fours and slid over the ground, before boosting herself against Eggman, levitating several crystals floating by and pointing the sharped tips against her enemy.

Eggman, however, only grinned inside of the Egg Beater, and then he twirled the wrecking ball around to make a shield that cut the crystals in million of pieces, and not a single one affected him nor his suit.

Next, Eggman launched the wrecking ball against Opaline again, but the fire Alicorn teleported in the last second and dodged it, before heading straight towards Eggman with her horn lightened up. This is what Eggman wanted, because just when she was some meters away of him, he brought the other arm and punched her.

Opaline groaned painfully, but then she still shot her beam against Eggman, and that took the evil genius off guard, so he had to protect himself with the same arm he used to punch her backwards.

After this, Opaline launched herself against the Egg Beater and tackled it down, then literally used her Prismatic Energy to make some claws grow from her hooves, and she started to move her hooves around to try and tear the machine apart, which made Eggman realize that he was in trouble.

"This is Egg Papa to Dad-a-bittle!" Eggman informed from a communicator he had inside the machine. "Do you copy?!"

"Here's Dad-a-bittle!" A male and bit raspy voice replied. "What's the matter, Egg Papa?!"

"I require reinforcements!" Eggman stated. "This Alicorn witch is gonna kill me, and I can't die without giving payback for my daughter's death, nor our daughters enslavement!"

"I can see you from my position." "Dad-a-bittle" replied. "Want me to take her from behind by surprise?"

"Even better: I'll sent her to you!" Eggman replied, then grinned and pressed the eject button, which caused the capsule of his Eggmobile to close.

After that, the Fire Alicorn and the evil doctor were sent in the air, until the Eggmobile crashed in some rubble and rolled ahead, while Opaline rolled in the ground and then slid to a stop.

She never noticed that four more shards fell off her bracelets, nor that Chip took them and teleported away.

She shook her head and felt a bit dizzy, her eyes moving around crazily. She attempted to recover her composure, but all she managed to do was feel even more dizzy, so she grabbed her head painfully and looked around, until she was suddenly hit with something metallic in her face.

Opaline groaned and placed a hoof over the zone that got hit... And then her eyes widened in panic, because when she looked at her hoof, it had some blood, meaning that whatever hit her made her bleed for real.

"...This is not possible..." Opaline muttered in panic. "I-It shouldn't be possible!"

And then, she got hit again and sent backwards, as she crashed on her back against some rubble. She groaned painfully and shook her head again, but when she looked ahead, all she saw was a metallic pipe hitting her face again, making her spit some blood, and then groan in anger as she looked ahead again.

Right in front of her, Eggman stood tall and menacing, holding the same metallic tube he used to hit her, as he had his suit a bit ripped apart, as well as some brushes. And yet, he was smirking sinisterly at Opaline.

"Let me lecture you about two things, Opaline..." Eggman started. "The first one: Never mess with someone that's not only unstoppable, but also unpredictable. That goes to me, and to that Blue Hedgehog that you were so sure you killed."

"And the second one?" Opaline asked in anger, as she lightened her horn up... Only to be blasted away with a magic blast.

"Never mess with a father and his daughter." Alphabittle added, since he was the "Dad-a-bittle" Eggman was talking with earlier, and he also wanted payback for all those years Opaline had Misty under her wing.

"And you, Arcana, made the mistake of messing with two daughters, and two fathers!" Eggman stated, slamming the tube on his palm with anger.

Opaline stood up and looked over at Eggman and Alphabittle with anger. "So you two are willing to die while I burn your skins down until nothing but ashes remain?!"

"We're willing to make you see what happens when you ruin three lives: One of a father that lost a daughter, one of a misguided child, and one of a father whom's child died on his arms." Alphabittle declared with anger.

"This old man and I never saw each other before, and he knows who I am..." Eggman added. "But we share one thing in common..."

"You ruined our lives by taking our daughters away!" Both Eggman and Alphabittle said in anger, then the former hit Opaline again with the pipe, while the latter levitated her and throw her away.

With this, a fight between Misty's two father figures and her former mother figure began, with the two males giving it all they've got against her. Eggman enjoyed every single time he hit her, getting his sweet revenge for Sage's death; while Alphabittle was excited to get some justice against the monster that fillynapped Misty.

However, as this happened, Sonic soon arrived to the destroyed Egg Beater, and realized that Eggman ejected off the machine, which made him start to look around with concern.

"Sonic!" Chip said suddenly, as he appeared to Sonic's side. "I have half of my power restored. Literally! But we still need the other 10 shards!"

"I know, but I can't see the real Opaline anywhere!" Sonic said with concern.

Then, Tails arrived at his side, just after blasting an Opaline clone away. "I think I saw them both flying away."

"I literally just saw Alphabittle and Eggman teaming up against her!" Hitch said out of nowhere, arriving right after using his vines to twirl an Opaline clone around and then launch her far away.

"I'm sorry, did you just said that Alpha-freaking-bittle was helping Eggman to beat the crap out of Opaline?" Knuckles asked in shock with wide eyes, arriving just after launching several Opaline clones towards a cliff. "And they didn't invited me?!"

"My dads are doing what to who?!" Misty asked in shock, as she arrived with them as well.

"Seems like your old mans are willing to make justice against Opaline for "taking care of you"." Sonic told her with a little smile, before frowning in concern. "But they're as mortal as any of us. Like it or not, they won't be enough against Opaline. We need something powerful to finally get those remaining shards from her."

"How powerful are we talking about?" Zipp asked, as she arrived along everyone else from the stablished Equestrian-Mobian group of this story.

"Powerful enough to knock Opaline down." Sonic stated. "More powerful than Super Sonic, more powerful than Cyber Energy... Heck, even more powerful than an Alicorn."

After Sonic clarified all of this, Knuckles' eyes widened, and then he smirked confidently. "Then why didn't you said anything sooner?! I know precisely what might help!"

"You do?" Sonic asked with a bored expression, but seeing that Knuckles was very confident, he realized that the echidna was talking serious. "Hang on, you really do?!"

"Yeah, but first things first: We need the Chaos Emeralds!" Knuckles declared, as he took out the Red Chaos Emerald.

Seeing what Knuckles did, the others didn't took long to act as well: Sunny took out the Silver Chaos Emerald, which made her Cutie Mark shine in a silver color, although no one noticed; Zipp took out the Light Blue Emerald; Shadow the Green one, Tails the Yellow one; and Izzy took out the Purple one.

"Oh you guys are the best!" Sonic said with a smile, but then he noticed something that confused him. "Wait... That's only six Emeralds. Where's the Blue one?"

"Well, we took the Emeralds after they left your body and landed in front of us, but the Blue Emerald is missing." Sunny explained.

"It didn't landed with the rest when you used that Chaos Blast." Shadow replied. "We have no idea what happened to it."

"Crap..." Sonic muttered with a frown, then he noticed that Boom Sonic was near by and approached him. "Hey, Sonic 2! Over here!"

"Huh?" Boom Sonic said confused, before punching and Opaline clone away and then approach Sonic. "What's the matter?"

"You can contact Twilight and anyone on the HQ, right?" Sonic asked hopefully.

"Well, not anyone. Only Twilight since she's the new leader, plus anyone that's close to the same are I am." Boom Sonic explained. "Why?"

"Knuckles might have something that can finally put Opaline to sleep, but we need the Chaos Emeralds, and we're missing the Blue one." Sonic explained. "It has to be somewhere around here. Can you please tell Twilight to tell everyone in the HQ that we need that last Emerald? It could literally be our savior from Opaline, and it also seems to be our last chance."

Boom Sonic was very aware of how dangerous and desperate the situation is. He literally just has to look around. However, seeing that Sonic was talking very seriously, he knew that he had to take this serious as well.

So, Boom Sonic looked at his dimensional watch and pressed a button. "Twilight. This is Sonic from Universe 081114. Sonic from 220822 seems to have a killer weapon for Opaline, but he needs a Blue Chaos Emerald that's spread across the wasteland."

Twilight was currently blasting several Opaline clones, even making others explode.

Yet when Boom Sonic called in and told her about Sonic having a plan, her eyes widened, but her hope also seemed to have increased. If Sonic had a plan to stop Opaline, then she had no other choice but to follow instructions. Besides, FS trusted him to succeed, so she needed to do the same.

"He wants us to find that Emerald and toss it to him." Boom Sonic added. "Should we help out, or...?"

"Oh, we're definitely helping out!" Twilight replied with a grin, then she pressed a button on her watch, and then she melted various clones of Opaline with a laser blast. "Listen up, every member of the Society. Sonic the Hedgehog from universe 220822, the very same universe this threatening Opaline comes from, needs our help. If any of you, or any of your back-up companions, see a Blue Chaos Emerald floating around, pass it to Sonic from universe 081114. This is a strict order!"

After Twilight shared her instructions, many members of the Society proceed to follow them.

Some decided to focus on the fight to open the path for those who were going to focus on the task of looking after the Chaos Emerald and give it to Boom Sonic so he can give it to Sonic.

However, Sunset's eyes widened when Twilight mentioned the Emerald, then she opened her left wing and took out of it the same Blue Chaos Emerald that Sonic was looking for. Said Emerald landed right in front of her by accident after Sonic used his Chaos Blast, and she took care of it in case it was important.

Sunset did the right thing, it seems, and so, she looked at her dimensional watch. "Um... Twi? I, uh, I have the Emerald Sonic's looking for... It sort of found me instead of me finding it, just in case."

"Then what are you waiting for?! Give it to 081114 Sonic!" Twilight instructed from the watch.

"Right... Right!" Sunset said loudly with wide eyes, then she took fly and started to move towards him.

However, in the way there, several Opaline clones launched themselves against her, probably because even if they're clones they still think like Opaline, so they're gonna stop anyone that tries to stop the original one.

"Ugh... This is... Gonna be complicated..." Sunset groaned annoyed, but she still managed to get a hoof free from the clones, and she saw that Firefly was fighting against a clone not so far. "Firefly! Catch!"

Sunset tossed the Emerald to her, and right after Firefly heard Sunset, she defeated the Opaline clone while also noticing the Blue Emerald, so she flew up and caught the jewel, but then noticed that several clones were heading towards her, so she tossed the Emerald away.

This time, Tails X caught the Emerald with his mecha, and he blasted against several clones that stood on his way, destroying them all in the process. Next, he tossed the Emerald to Dr. Hooves.

The Earth Pony immediately started to move away as fast as he could right after getting the jewel on his hooves, but when an Opaline Clone launched over him, he accidentally let the Emerald go. Fortunately, Blue Buffon was passing by, and after using his guitar to sent a bunch of clones away, he grabbed the Emerald.

Next, he boosted away and and jumped over several crystals and rubble, not to dodge clones or anything, but simply because it was fun to do for him. And then, he tossed the Emerald to Young Sonic.

"I've got it, I've got it!" Young Sonic exclaimed, and once he grabbed the Emerald, he almost fell backwards, but instead choose to roll in the ground and then run away towards Boom Sonic.

He started to jump over several clones, allies, and even passed below Sunset's Sunny to avoid crashing against her, until he saw ahead that he was going to crash against some rubble, so he barely stopped himself, then curled into a ball and boosted upwards, where he got a better view of the battlefield.

But as much as he'd like to enjoy the view, he choose to focus again, and fortunately, he saw Boom Sonic in the distance, waving his hands so Young Sonic could see him and toss the Emerald to him.

"Oh, there you are!" Young Sonic said with a smile, and so, he tossed the Emerald far away towards Boom Sonic.

The older hedgehog jumped in the air and caught the jewel, looked at it with a smile, and the started to run away. He jumped over several Opaline clones, had to fight against some in order to keep going, but then was suddenly surrounded by several of them, so he frowned and snapped his tongue.

"Seems like I have to do it old-school style!" Boom Sonic declared, then he charged a Spin Dash on his place, and then he boosted upwards, before seeing Sonic in the distance and then toss the Emerald to him.

Sonic jumped to the air as well, then caught the Chaos Emerald, and then barely landed on his feet, almost loosing his balance, but when he managed to stand still, he looked at the Emerald with a smile.

"Well, that's seven Emeralds down!" Sonic declared with a smirk, then he boosted back with his friends, as they all hid behind some rubble to avoid being spotted by the real Opaline or her clones, as he put the Emerald down along the other seven. "Okay, Knux. We have them all, what now?"

"Now, we use this!" Knuckles stated, reaching out to his quills and pulling out a fragment of the Master Emerald.

"A fragment of the Master Emerald?" Amy asked confused.

"You broke it again?!" Rouge asked in rage, as she flew to Knuckles and grabbed hims from his arms, while glaring daggers at him.

"No. I just took this before leaving Angel Island a few days ago." Knuckles replied with a smirk.

Universe 220822 - A few days ago...

Knuckles, Izzy and Hitch were leaving Angel Island to head towards Tails' workshop.

However, before doing so, the echidna quickly went back and looked for an area in specific of the giant Emerald. Despite the fact that Knuckles has destroyed it and repaired it several times in the past, there was this one part of the Emerald that never assembled again, no matter how hard he tried to do it.

That specific zone is what he was looking for, and once he found it and separated it from the Emerald, he smiled, put the fragment on his quills, and then left the Altar of Emerald along Izzy and Hitch.

Multiversal Wasteland - Present

Back in reality, everyone looked surprised at Knuckles, while he just smiled.

"One single fragment contains the same amount of power than the whole Emerald put together." Knuckles explained. "Hence why I'm always so over-protective with it. Besides, I thought it could be useful eventually!"

"Well, it's cool that one fragment has as much power, but what are we going to use it for?!" Pipp asked confused.

However, Sonic and Tails seemed to be the only ones that immediately understood what did Knuckles wanted to do. "The Super Emeralds!"

"The Super what now?" Hitch asked confused as well.

"When the power of the Master Emerald is combined with the Chaos Emeralds' power, the Super Emeralds are born!" Sonic explained with a smile. "We could never use them again because Knuckles refused to let the Master Emerald get out of the island, as well as to use just a fragment like back when we first met! What changed?" He turned to Knuckles.

"Our entire existence is at stake here." Knuckles pointed out with a frown. "Saving our butts is a thousand times more important than a stupid bow I made of protecting that damn piece of rock."

After saying this, he extended the fragment of the Master Emerald to Sonic, who grabbed it with a smirk.

"And the Super Emeralds can turn me back into Hyper Sonic..." Sonic declared with a smile. "But I know for a fact that I cannot do this alone. So..." He turned around and looked at Sunny, extending the fragment to her with his hand open.

"Wha–– Me?!" Sunny asked confused with wide eyes, while Sonic just nodded with a smile. "B-But I don't... I can't... I-I could barely handle one Emerald's power, remember?"

"Yeah, about that... There's something I haven't told you, Sunny." Sonic confessed with a sheepish smile.

After that, he grabbed the Green Chaos Emerald and hold it close to Sunny, which made the Emerald glow and vibrate a bit. This surprised Sunny, but then she looked over at her Cutie Mark, since she feel it vibrating as well, and she noticed that it was glowing on the same color green.

At first, she panicked, because she immediately remembered when she got infected with the Chaos Pocks, but then she looked at herself, at her body, and felt a bit confused when she saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"I... I don't understand..." Sunny said confused.

"Your Chaos Pocks seems to have awakened a connection between the Chaos Emeralds and you, Sunny." Sonic explained. "I noticed that your Cutie Mark and the Emeralds always reacted together whenever you were close to one. I figured that, after what happened with the Chaos Pocks, now you had a connection with the Emeralds as well."

"I actually noticed that too." Shadow confessed. "And considering we were training you to resist their power, I think that you might be ready now. Well, that, and our lives are at stake, but eh. Details."

"W-Wait! H-Hold on a second..." Sunny said, as she shook and held her head in shock, then she looked at Sonic. "So you're saying that I... That I can use Chaos Energy? That I.... That I can used the Chaos Emeralds? Like you do?!"

"In a little bit of a slump? Yes! Yes, you can." Sonic said with a smile.

"Wow..." Sunny said with a chuckle, and then she smiled a bit awkwardly. "I... I don't know what to say... Is just that... Why me? Why would you want me to fight at your side when you're the one that's been through a lot worse than I during this whole journey across the multiverse?"

Sonic smiled after hearing that, and then, he reached for something that was on Sunny's saddlebag. Soon, he took out the ruby heart necklace that one breezie gave to her, and he put it on her neck again.

Confused, Sunny looked down at the necklace, and then at Sonic. "We are "the ones", remember? You're the hopeful pony that breezie talked about. Maybe is time we fulfill that purpose the breezie gave us." He explained with a smile.

Sunny was still doubtful at first, but then she looked around at her friends for guidance. They all seemed to agree with Sonic's words, and that made her smile. She then looked down at the necklace, thought about it for a moment, then took a deep breath, and then looked at Sonic with a determinate look.

"Let's do this, Sonic!" Sunny declared confidently. "I just hope I won't turn into a strange lizard again..."

"Oh, trust me, Sunny." Knuckles interfered this time with a smirk and his arms crossed. "You'll turn into something much cooler, and it won't affect your pony form!"

With that confirmation, Sunny actually smiled, then she looked at Sonic and nodded. Sonic nodded back, then he extended the Master Emerald shard with his palm open again, while Sunny touched the shard with her hoof.

"At the count of three, we're shouting "Master Control", okay?" Sonic instructed.

"Okay!" Sunny nodded.

"One... two... three!" Sonic counted down.

"Master Control!" Both Sonic and Sunny shouted.

After saying this out loud, the 7 Chaos Emeralds suddenly elevated in the air, while the shard of the Master Emerald did the same. Soon, it's power fused with the Emeralds', and then, the 7 jewels shone brightly, and they all got bigger in size, until they were just as big as the Master Emerald.

It was like having 7 Master Emeralds, but instead, they were the Super Emeralds. And to prove this point even further, the Emeralds floated over Sonic and Sunny, before uniting as one right over them.

Then, a massive blast of energy was sent in one straight line that only hit Sonic and Sunny, because everyone else stepped back to ensure none of them would get accidentally transformed or affected in any way by the Super Emeralds, especially since not all of them could resist their immense power.

Meanwhile, Opaline was busy launching Eggman and Alphabittle backwards. They both had brushes, some cuts, and were bleeding a bit, but they still choose to keep fighting.

Opaline only growled. She also had brushes, was bleeding even more, and her mane was a mess, because it wasn't tied anymore. However, just when she prepared to launch a blast against Eggman and Alphabittle, the energy blast of the Super Emeralds called her attention, so she took flight and looked ahead.

Eggman and Alphabittle noticed this, so they moved ahead as well, noticing the blast of energy was slowly shrinking. Well, everyone in the Wasteland noticed this, since the massive energy blast called their attention.

Soon, the blast of energy dissipated, now showing Sonic and Sunny, both floating in the air, but with noticeable changes: In Sonic's case, he had purple eyes and multicolored fur that constantly changed colors, while Sunny had silver hooves, white fur, multicolored mane and tail that also constantly changed colors, and purple eyes.

Sunny also got silver wings and a silver horn... But here's the thing: They were solid and not ethereal.

They turned into Hyper Sonic and Hyper Sunny, both looking at Opaline with frowns, while Opaline growled again and made all her clones disappear, since she was willing to focus all her magic on her enemies.

Noticing this, Eggman grinned and chuckled. "About damn time, Hedgehog and Starscout!"

"I'm tired of your games. Let's finish this once and for all!" Opaline declared with rage.

Sonic and Sunny only limited themselves to look at each other, then they nodded and looked back at Opaline.

Don't look down! (Don't look down!)
Don't look down! (Don't look down!)

Both Sonic and Sunny boosted against Opaline, and so did the Fire Alicorn against the hero siblings.

I've been here waiting for the longest time
I can't believe it's real

However, once Sonic and Sunny were close to Opaline, they split up, with Sunny going for the right and kicking Opaline on said side, while Sonic waited for her to approach, then grabbed the Fire Alicorn from her tail and twirled her around, before launching her against some rubble.

You lose the battles that you never fight
Can't hide from what you feel

But instead of crashing, though, Opaline stomped said rubble with her hooves and impulsed herself backwards, pushing Sonic a bit backwards... Yet that made her fail from seeing Sunny kicking her away again.

Opaline recovered quickly, though, and then she launched herself against Sunny, as the two Alicorns started to have a 1v1 brawl in the air, but while Opaline tried to hit Sunny and failed with an enraged and maniac expression, Sunny remained serene and calmed, yet frowning and showing a more serious side of her.

(Come on!) No more compromise, this is do or die
And now you've crossed the line
You'll wake the beast inside

Soon, Sunny teleported away, while Sonic suddenly appeared and hit her face hard enough to sent her against a crystal, but Opaline impulsed herself towards the Blue Blur and moved her hooves crazily.

She attempted to hit Sonic, but the Fastest Thing Alive dodged her attacks with no problem, almost taunting her even. It was just a tactic to provoke her even more than she already was, a tactic to ensure that she'll be so blurred by rage she would never think carefully on her next moves.

No more compromise, this is do or die
I'll warn you one last time
You'll wake the beast inside

And the plan worked so well, that when Sonic teleported away again, Opaline did crashed on her face against a massive portion of earth that was floating by, burring her face on it.

But this only enraged her as well, because she soon surrounded said portion of earth with her magic, then transformed it into a massive hammer that she moved against Sunny and Sonic. But the Hyper siblings just teleported away behind her, and together, they twirled and kicked her downwards.

She crashed against some rubble, loosing three shards more of the Paradox Prism. Noticing this, Chip quickly teleported, absorbed the shards' power, and then teleported away.

Don't look down! (Don't look down!)
Don't look down! (Don't look down!)

Opaline roared in rage, then launched herself upwards and surrounded several pieces of rubble with her magic, then crushed down Sonic and Sunny with them with a sinister grin... A grin that faded away when the rubble cracked and then exploded, because Sunny used her now solid horn to blow the rubble away.

So break through it all, and don't look down
You won't fade out, 'cause the fire in you never dies

Opaline growled for the millionth time today, then she launched herself against Sonic and Sunny, with Sunny teleporting away, while Sonic simply placed his hand in front of him to stop Opaline.

Then, he only snorted and pushed her backwards with no effort, but to Opaline, it felt the opposite, because she traversed several portions of earth, then crashed against some crystals, and finally hit some rubble that made her groan in pain and in effort, yet she wasn't going to give up anytime soon.

It comes around to light the flame
They'll know your name, burned into their memory

But before she could launch herself again, Sunny suddenly appeared at her side, then surrounded her with her magic, and then started to twirl her around while hitting her against more rubble and crystals.

Her serene and calmed look with a frown remained the entire time she twirled Opaline around, until she finally let her go towards Sonic, who simply snapped his fingers once Opaline was close enough. Once this happened, a massive laser came out of nowhere and hit Opaline, making her groan in pain again.

(So break through it all)
Don't stop we're on a mission
Overdriving over all the competition
Counting up the damage when it's done

This laser stunned her and made her loose other three fragments, which made Chip quickly teleport again and grab them all, absorb their power, and then leave again to leave the battle for Sonic and Sunny.

Now Opaline only had four remaining shards, one of each color of a Prism fragment. Sonic and Sunny knew what to do, so they charged up some Chaos Energy before going 2v1 with Opaline. Still stunned in the air, Opaline never noticed when Sonic and Sunny arrived.

The siblings started to move at the speed of light to hit Opaline in her weakest spots: Hooves, head, nose, face, stomach, crotch, and even her throat to ensure she'll be very stunned.

(So break through it all)
We can't pretend to listen
Sorry if it puts you in an imposition
We won't stop until the battle's won

Opaline groaned and teleported away, then united several pieces of rubble and launched them over Sunny and Sonic like if it was a shower of meteorites against them. Yet this was nothing for the Hyper siblings, because they flew thought the rubble with no trouble, and then they double punched Opaline.

What goes around comes back around again

But this seemed to be a small mistake, because Opaline quickly recovered and punched them both backwards, making them groan in pain as they crashed against some rubble.

And if we don't come down, we'll be lost in the wind

They shook their heads painfully, but then they saw that Opaline launched a massive portion of earth over them, which could have crushed them and kill them... But then, a white blast passed through it, and then it revealed to be the Hyper siblings, who simply combined their strength to escape together.

(What goes around comes back around again)
(I know that we) I know that we will find our way
(We'll do whatever) We'll do whatever it will take

Opaline frowned in rage, then she charged a massive blast of energy against Sonic and Sunny. Sunny shot a laser back to counter Opaline's attack, and even though she was stronger now, she was struggling a bit.

(And if we don't come down, we'll be lost in the wind)
(And if we) And if we never reach the crown
(We'll take) We'll take the whole thing down

Thankfully, she wasn't alone, because Sonic soon shared some energy as well to make the blast stronger than Opaline's. Yet, when the Fire Alicorn noticed this, she frowned in rage and shoot a bit more of energy, which made the blasts to cause an explosion that sent the three of them backwards.

They all shook their heads, and then looked ahead with frowns. However, Sonic was running out of patience now, so he touched Sunny's shoulder, calling her attention.

"You keep her busy. I have something in mind that might finally stun her." Sonic instructed.

Sunny nodded, then boosted towards Opaline, while Sonic teleported away without saying anything else.

(So break through it all)
Don't stop we're on a mission (What goes around)
Overdriving over all the competition (Comes back around again)
Counting up the damage when it's done

Opaline boosted against Sunny as well, as the two Alicorns started another brawl. This time, however, Sunny made absolutely sure that she was hitting Opaline. She didn't wanted to miss a single punch on her face, and she's been waiting for doing it anyways, so she was also enjoying it a lot.

(So break through it all)
We can't pretend to listen (And if we don't come down)
Sorry if it puts you in an imposition (We'll be lost in the wind)
We won't stop until the battle's won

Now, Sunny multiplied herself and launched several blasts against Opaline, and then returned to be the only one once again to hit Opaline right on her nose, stunning her for quite a bit once more.

No more compromise, this is do or die
And now you've crossed the line
You'll wake the beast inside

Sonic teleported right over the stunned Opaline, and then smirked, before he extended his arms and opened his hands, now absorbing Chaos Energy from all across the multiverse over his hands. Two massive spheres of Chaos Energy were being created as this happened, while Sonic just stared down at Opaline with anger.

Everyone in the multiverse watched this amazed, but they also did it with smiles, smirks, or determined looks, because they all know that Opaline was so finished if Sonic was willing to got all-out on her again.

No more compromise, this is do or die
I'll warn you one last time
You'll wake the beast inside

Then, Sonic closed his hands, still charged with Chaos Energy, then placed them together and on his right side, slowly opening them to show how big the sphere of energy was now. And, as Opaline was recovering her senses, Sonic teleported behind her, then released the attack over her.

Don't stop we're on a mission (What goes around)
(I know that we will find our way)
Overdriving over all the competition (Comes back around again)
Counting up the damage when it's done (We'll do whatever it will take)

The attack sent Opaline several meters back, and at the same time, it gave Sonic and Sunny the perfect chance to move at the speed of light again and launch her against a rock passing by.

(So break through it all)
We can't pretend to listen (And if we don't come down)
(And if we never reach the crown)
Sorry if it puts you in an imposition (We'll be lost in the wind)
We won't stop until the battle's won (We'll take the whole thing down)

Opaline painfully stood on her fours over that rock, looking upwards at the Hyper siblings with rage, but then she noticed that they had combined their energy once more, with Sonic preparing to hit her with a foot, while Sunny was ready to hit the Fire Alicorn with her forelegs.

Opaline tried to launch a fire blast, but Sonic and Sunny's combined attack passed through it, and then, the Hyper siblings hit Opaline, causing a massive explosion of Chaos Energy across the Wasteland.

Everyone else had to cover themselves from the explosion, while Chip simply looked at it with a smile. If I had to bet, he probably knows who won the battle already. Still, he quickly approached the place where Sonic and Sunny crashed against Opaline and caused the explosion.

Once said explosion dissipated, Sonic and Sunny's friends quickly approached as well, and soon, various allies of all across the multiverse joined them, while others stood behind and waited to see who won.

Near the place the explosion happened, the three creatures that fought lay on the ground unconscious. Opaline lay on one side, Sunny over her stomach with her mane not tied anymore, and Sonic lay over his back. The Chaos Emeralds, Master Emerald shard, and remaining shards of the Paradox Prism also lay in the ground.

As Sonic and Sunny's friends approached, Pipp and Hitch quickly rushed to their lovers, with Pipp kneeling down to Sonic and gently shaking him, while Hitch sat down and grabbed Sunny, placing her on his knees.

However, before any of them could worry, the two siblings soon started to open their eyes, with Sonic also groaning a bit in pain. But as soon as he saw Pipp at his side, he smiled and chuckled a bit. Sunny also opened her eyes entirely, and when she found herself on Hitch's hooves, she smiled, and the Sheriff smiled back.

"Ugh... Man..." Sonic groaned. "Does anyone has an ibuprofen? If Opaline didn't killed me, my body sure will..."

"Ugh... I'm with Sonic on this one..." Sunny said with a chuckle and a groan. "Everything hurts..."

This made some in the group laugh, and some others just shook their heads.

"And here I thought you two would get killed." Eggman said with a mocking grin, as he also arrived. "Oh well. I guess I'll just deal with you two still being around."

"You know you can't get rid of me, Egghead." Sonic said mockingly, as he stood up with help of Pipp and Tails, while Izzy and Hitch helped Sunny to do the same.

Pipp even kissed Sonic's cheek lovely, which definitely got a reaction out of some Pipps from the multiverse, specially Sunset's Pipp, who's blush could already tell she didn't expected to see that.

Meanwhile, Chip grabbed the four remaining shards of the Paradox Prism and absorbed their power. This made his eyes shine brightly in white, and soon, his entire body was covered in a white flashlight.

When the light was gone, Chip left too, and instead, what remained behind was a Phoenix bird, which spread majestically its wings, both burning down in fire. Soon, said Phoenix bird started to fly across the Wasteland for a while to feel free once more, before landing in front of Sonic and company.

"...Chip?" Sonic asked confused and in shock.

"I'm afraid I don't possess such a name, Sonic." Chip replied. "I kind of lied to you on our first encounter: I do have an original form and a name. What you see right now is who I truly am. And, my name is Dandelion."

"Well, this crap escalated quickly." Knuckles pointed out.

"I've been guarding over every reality for as long as I can remember... But I'm afraid that getting rid of my power in the Paradox Prism wasn't the smartest choice." Dandelion said with concern. "Is because of my decision that Opaline did what she did. Now, it'll be me who restores the multiverse to it's old glory."

After saying this, Dandelion spread his wings once again, and then moved ahead to start the restoration of the multiverse. First, he flew by empty spots where universes used to be, and soon, said universes were restored.

Then, he returned all the stolen magic from the universes where Opaline stole it, both the worlds that glitched and disappeared, and the worlds that didn't. Finally, Dandelion cleaned all the rubble and portions of earth floating by, as well as closed the X portals to ensure no other universe would collapse.

Once the job was done, he flew back with the group of Universe 220822 and looked down at Sonic and Sunny, who now could stand on their own again.

"I wanna thank you two, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sunny Starscout." Dandelion smiled. "If not for you, all these realities would've died at the hooves of that monster." He pointed a wing to Opaline, who still remained unconscious. "From the deepest sincerity of my heart, thank you."

Dandelion kneeled in sign of respect, but even thought that already was a bit too much for both Sunny and Sonic, they found themselves surprised when they turned around and saw that not only their friends repeated Dandelion's action, but the entire multiverse was doing the same. Heck, even Eggman himself kneeled, and he hesitated at first!

They were all thankful with the two siblings. If not for them, their realities would've fallen on Opaline's hooves, just like Dandelion said. They all will forever thank them both for their courage against Opaline. And despite still feeling the kneeling was too much, Sonic and Sunny still smiled at everyone they saved from Opaline.

Speaking of her, she finally made a grunt noice, meaning that she was waking up. Noticing that the Emeralds and the Master Emerald shard were still in the ground, Sonic quickly went to grab the shard.

Meanwhile, Shadow and Tails went to grab the Chaos Emeralds and put them aside, while Sonic and Sunny approached Opaline, who slowly tried to stand up again, just to fail and lay on the ground again. However, as soon as she looked upwards at Sonic and Sunny, she felt more panic than anger.

"S-Sunny! S-Sonic!" Opaline said with wide eyes and an awkward chuckle. "U-Um, perhaps I got a bit too carried away with my new powers and all that stuff. Ah, how about we forget this and just move on while laughing about it, huh?"

"How stupid you think we are to let you walk this off just like that, Opaline?" Sonic asked with anger.

"There isn't a punishment worthy of all you've done!" Sunny added with anger as well.

"Agreed." Dandelion said, as he appeared right behind the siblings, and that just made Opaline's eyes widen in pure and genuine fear, something that Sonic and Sunny found strange, but they were not complaining. "Now, what kind of punishment would fit a little piece of $&@# like you?" Dandelion asked, although the third to last word was censored with a bip and the word "SEGA" covering his mouth.

Opaline attempted to stand up and at least run away, or even use her magic. However, both plans failed.

The first one failed because Eggman arrived and stepped over her back, looking down at her with a grin. The second one failed because she had no strength left to use magic, so she was getting punished all the same.

Suddenly, an idea crossed Sunny's mind, so she smiled, and then she came over to Sonic and whispered something on his ear. "Hmm..." Sonic muttered as he listened. "Uh-huh..." He added, then his eyes widened. "Whoa!" He exclaimed, and once Sunny was done, he looked at her unbelieving. "Sunny, are you sure you're not a maniac in secret?"

"What? What did she said?" Dandelion asked confused, and Sonic made a sign to him so he would approach and whisper what Sunny said to his ear, and once he did, his eyes also widened. "Girl, you scare me... But what you suggest might be the perfect punishment for her."

With that being said, Dandelion opened his mouth and charged a laser, which Eggman took as a sign to move out of the way, while Dandelion shoot the laser to Opaline, making the Fire Alicorn scream in fear and pain... But soon, nothing was coming out of her mouth, and then, Dandelion stopped.

When the laser was gone, Opaline was still there... But with a twist: She had no horn, she had no wings, she had not even a Cutie Mark, and she was looking around like a confused horse... Then she neighed like one.

This seemed to confuse the rest. "Uh... What happened exactly?" Tails asked first.

"Opaline's punishment is up!" Sonic replied with a smile.

"Well, yeah, we can see that, but... What is her punishment?" Zipp asked, still confused.

"I have trapped Opaline in her own body. With no magic to use, and no Cutie Mark either, Opaline's nothing but a regular horse." Dandelion explained. "Her body might act like an actual horse, but in reality, she's screaming her lungs out inside of that body, because her brain is still the same."

"...That actually is a very fitting ending for that damn Alicorn." Eggman said with a grin. "If there's something the ones like Opaline deserve more than dying, is to live and see themselves be the butt of the joke."

"It's still a pretty hardcore way to go, but is the least she deserves." Shadow said with his arms crossed.

"Yeah..." Sonic said with a smile, then he turned around and looked at all the multiverse, before taking a deep breath and then shout his lungs out. "WE WOOOOOOON!!!"

After shouting this, the entire multiverse began to cheer out loudly for their victory, as some hugged each other, some couples kissed, and Sonic just sighed in relief. This was a very tiring battle, and he knows that some lives were lost along the way... But it was worth it in the end.

Finally, Opaline was defeated, the multiverse was safe... It was over.

Author's Note

Welp... Just one chapter left.

Guys, I cannot believe that we're done with the saga... I seriously can't. I'll be more emotional on Thursday, but I'm still getting emotional right now.

Thank you all for reading, and I'll see you in two days with the end. Bye!
