Across The Multiverse
9. A Happy Day in Hell (Part 2)

Pentagram City
Entertainment District
It would've been nice if Twilight had told her that it was going to be sooo hot.
Starlight couldn't help but wipe the sweat from beneath her horn, letting out an exhausted exhale as they traversed the rooftops in the Entertainment District. From what they gathered as they observed the populace, the two Equestrians came to two conclusions.
One was that everyone here was vile and disgusting.
Two was that everyone was enchanted with those television devices.
Personally Starlight couldn't wait to get out of here, she had seen more sex here in one day than her entire life. Seriously if she walked into two demons having sexual intercourse in an alleyway one more time she would scream. She already made a mental note in her head to find any form of bleach and then proceed to place said bleach into her eyes.
She looked to Twilight, who seemed to look disturbed at something going on in the streets below.
Peering over the edge of the rooftop, Starlight watched as multiple demons tore each other apart in some form of gang war. Blood filled the streets, limbs flew through the air, and explosions tore the streets apart. And in the middle of it all were two demons going at it.
That did it!
The unicorn galloped away from the ledge and proceeded to throw up her lunch, with Twilight rubbing her back with a look of sympathy on her face. But to be frank, she too, was struggling to hold in her lunch.
This was too much.
But she had a job to do, they all did.
One thing was for sure though, after this adventure was done, Twilight would immediately place both her and Starlight into therapy. Just as Starlight was finishing up, a dismembered arm landed right next to them, and thus, the throw up session resumed.
Cannibal Town
A town filled with cannibals, that was a first for Tony. It wasn't the fact that they were cannibals - granted that unnerved him beyond belief - that was unsettling, no, it was the fact that they were all so nice. As he and Mario traversed the surprisingly docile town, the two heroes received friendly waves and were greeted kindly.
Despite the fact that they were surrounded by blood thirsty cannibals with soulless, black eyes and razor sharp teeth, the duo surprisingly felt safe. They got lucky that they got stuck in one of the nicest places in all of the Pentagram.
"Never thought that a place called Cannibal Town would be so friendly." Mario commented, watching in awe as a group of kids ran past them, their laughter filling the air around them. He looked around at the antique structures that made up the district in wonder and amazement. "Also surprised that we aren't being eyed like a large bowl of spaghetti."
"Well, it's not like they'd be able to chew through my suit." Tony said confidently, causing Mario to frown, looking at him with an expression that said 'What about me?' "I'm sure you'd be fine." He reassured with a dismissive hand wave.
"Yeah, thanks." The plumber thanked sarcastically. As they both continued walking through the streets, Mario couldn't help but ask, "So, how the heck are we supposed to find this Spear of Destiny in time. I mean we have a lot of ground to cover."
"You're not wrong." Tony agreed, glancing down at the plumber. "We're already behind, so we've gotta move fast if we have any chance of finding that spear before the Legion." His movement was halted when a spleen landed on his neck, dripping with blood. He stood there frozen while Mario looked horrified at the display. "Mario?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"Is there a human spleen on my neck?"
"Y-Yeah..."
Industrial District
Batman moved through the shadows, eyeing the state of the streets and the filth that occupied said streets. Filled to the brim with scum, sexual deviants, criminals, he hated how much it reminded him of Gotham, he hated that his home could possibly be Hell on Earth.
But something awakened within the dark hero when he realized that the only thing keeping Gotham from the brink was him and his crusade. Because without him, his city, his domain, would be reduced to nothingness and would simply be a cesspool of chaos and destruction.
Just like this... Pentagram City.
He frowned, no, rather scowled at the sight of a demon butchering another with nearby bystanders simply walking as if nothing was happening. Bruce couldn't help but clench his fists and bare his teeth at the disgusting display before him, normally he wouldn't let this stand, but this was Hell, it was kind of the standard here.
Rising from his crouched position, Batman watched intently at the smog filled sky, the pollution evident in the Industrial District. He wasn't surprised that corrupt business people had made it down here, The Penguin would fit right in, he couldn't help but think.
A gust of wind was felt behind him, Sonic had returned.
"This place.... is disgusting!!!" Sonic whined as he shook his head a super speed, getting the droplets of blood out of his quills. "From the air, to the people, to the heat, to the mountains of intercourse, don't even get me started on that!" He involuntarily shivered before approaching his... friend? Sonic wasn't really sure at the moment, but he approached anyway. "I'm pretty sure I trotted on someone's ear back there."
"This is the worst of humanity." Batman pointed out, sparing the hedgehog a sideways glance. "This is what I have to fight everyday, vile, villainous, scum who think that this form of behavior is acceptable." He glanced down at his hand before he clenched it, closing his eyes solemnly, "This is the kind of scum that took my parents away from me. I made a promise that I would never let Gotham fall further than it already has. Seeing this is a good reminder of what I'm fighting to prevent."
As Batman spoke, the hedgehog beside him couldn't help but look at him with a twinge of sympathy, sometimes he forgot all the darkness and evil Bruce has to fight night to night. The Dark Knight's world is a lot darker than his own, while he'd just stop Eggman and go home, Batman has to continuously fight vile and disgraceful individuals that wish harm upon the innocent.
With what he has to fight, no wonder Batman doesn't trust anyone completely.
With what he knows about him, could Sonic really blame him for creating contingency plans just in case they ever went rogue? He couldn't help but see the worst in people, even his friends, which sucked, but he couldn't really blame him, could he?
Sure he should've told them about the plans, but does he blame him for creating them in the first place?
Sonic wasn't sure what to think.
But he was sure when a sudden explosion went off in the distance, a very big explosion that caught everyone's attention, including the roaming demons. Explosions may have been common in Hell, but the two Guardians couldn't help but investigate.
Carmilla's Warehouse
There was a violent clash.
Metal against steel.
Sparks raised into the air before falling to the ground as Metal Sonic ducked under his opponents kick, the metallic hedgehog grabbing her leg before throwing her behind him. He clenched his fist tightly as the Overlord landed graciously, her form spelling excellence.
The office was in chaos, windows shattered and her desk flipped and destroyed, Carmilla Carmine was less than pleased. One moment she was filling out paperwork for the next meeting of the Overlords, the next she's being attacked by this robotic hedgehog.
Certainly not how she thought her day would turn out.
Carmilla Carmine was a tall demoness with an hourglass build, light grey-magenta skin, and long, thick white hair with black streaks. Her hair was kept into a pair of large beehive-like horns by thin, ballerina-like black ribbons. She had a marking colored in a darker shade of her skin tone resembling a mask that enveloped her eyes, which themselves had white irises, red sclera and slit-like pupils. Her arms and hands were colored white from her deltoids down, with her hands being rather large in proportion to her body with black nails. She also had bridged wrists, instead of the alignment of her arms narrowing at the wrists like most people or demons. Carmilla wore an attire similar to a ballerina, which consisted of an off-the-shoulder black dress with white buttons and white stripes located down the front and at the rim of the spiked skirt, which included magenta lining. She also wore black, waist-length stockings covered by white ballerina shoelaces.

She performed a pirouette before blitzing forward at high speeds, darting from left to right, dragging her Angelic Steel slippers across the floor, sparks igniting behind her, before launching into the air and boosting down towards Metal Sonic.
The metallic menace raised his arms in a cross-like formation and blocked the strike, his chest lighting up before Carmilla's eyes, causing them to widen before she was blasted out of her office. As she soared through the air, Carmilla straightened herself to dart back into the office, but was caught off guard when Metal Sonic flew forward and slammed her down to the ground.
Carmine snarled as she swiped the dust from the air with her large hand, glaring up at the metallic hedgehog hovering above her. It was then that she finally took in her surroundings, several egg shaped robots were carrying crates of her product out of her warehouse.
That's what all of this was about!
Somebody was robbing her for her Angelic Steel.
She was brought back into the heat of the battle when Metal Sonic boosted down with his claws bare, the Overlord ducking under the attack before kicking the robot in the back, sending him flying into the building behind her. She glared at the hole in the building, Metal's eyes glowing through the cloud of dust, and readied herself for his attack.
But the sound of galloping from her left caught her demonic ears.
She let out a small gasp as she was rammed in the side by Lord Tirek, the centaur letting out a growling laugh as she flew through the air. Carmilla bounced off of the smoldering hot ground as Tirek and Metal Sonic slowly approached her fallen form.
"This... is the supposed leader of the Overlords of Hell?" Tirek asked with a mocking laugh. "Mwahahahaha! How pitiful! I expected more of a challenge from you, Miss Carmine, but alas, you are as weak as those useless ponies. How disappointing."
"Whoever you are.... You will regret your actions this day..." The arms dealer promised as she slowly rose to her feet. "You creatures have made a powerful enemy today."
"Not as powerful as us, I assure you." A boisterous voice rebutted from up above. The Overlord looked up to see a rotund man standing in what appeared to be an aircraft of sorts. This was Dr. Eggman standing in his Egg Mobile, hands behind his back and a cocky smile on his face. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Carmilla Carmine! I am Dr. Ivo Robotnik, the greatest scientific mind you will ever meet."
Carmine's eyes shot open in surprise. "A human?!" This was an impossible development, a human in the realm of Hell? It shouldn't be possible, and yet, there was this human hovering above her with a grand grin on his face, clear as day. Just how was this possible?
"An obvious deduction." Eggman said condescendingly, adjusting his spectacles with his fingers. "From what we have gathered from our research, you are the top weapons dealer in all of Pentagram City, and on top of that, the only one with Angelic Steel in your arsenal. We hope you don't mind if we help ourselves to your entire stock."
Carmilla clenched her fists, glaring dangerously at the human, "I most certainly do mind. I do not know how you came to be here, human, but rest assured you will never return to the land of the living ever again!" She readied herself to launch at Eggman, but stopped when the human wagged his finger.
"I wouldn't do that, if I were you."
"MOTHER!"
Carmilla turned around and gasped in horror at the sight of her daughters; Clara and Odette.
Clara was a female demon with puce skin, curly cream hair tied up in a ponytail, black lips, eyes with red sclera and white irises, and small black horns atop her head. She wore a sleeveless black crop-top turtleneck, gray jean-shorts with a black belt, black fingerless gloves, white over-the-knee stockings and ballet shoes like her mother.

Odette was a female demon of tall and thin stature. She had white skin, light blonde hair tied up in a short ponytail, eyes with red sclera and white irises, and small black horns atop her head. She wore a pair of circular-rimmed glasses with red tinted lenses, a long white buttoned lab coat over a black turtleneck, long black gloves, black tights and a pair of silver pointé shoes resembling her mother's.

And both of her daughters were currently being held hostage by Bowser and Loki, the former grasping Clara by the neck, threatening to break it, and the latter holding an angelic dagger to Odette's neck, prepared to slit it if the Overlord dared try anything.
"It would seem that you have found yourself in a perilous situation." Loki pointed out with a sadistic smile, pressing the dagger deeper into Odette's neck, drawing a trickle of blood. "I believe it would be in your daughter's best interest if you surrendered, less of course you have no qualms with her blood lining these streets."
Carmilla was snarling, baring her fangs, but her face softened upon the fearful looks. Her daughters were petrified and there was nothing that she could do to help ease their pain. She had failed in doing the one thing she was destined to do the moment her girls were born.
Protect them.
First with the Exterminator and now this.
She turned her sights to Loki and snarled, "Release my daughters and I'll let you live, human."
Loki proceeded to laugh in her face, "Oh, my dear, I am anything but human. And I don't think you fully grasp the situation you find yourself in. With one swift motion, your daughter's life will meet an abrupt end, and by your own product no less. Tsk, tsk, how irresponsible of you, Miss Carmine."
"As you can see the odds are stacked against you." Eggman pointed out, regaining Carmilla's attention. "So, stand down and your daughters will live. Failure to comply will result in their untimely demise." When he saw Carmine look down in begrudging defeat, Eggman couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He looked to his right when Metal Sonic flew up to receive new orders from his creator. "Take the Angelic Steel to our temporary base of operations. Once you're done with that keep an eye on our potential allies, take note of their defenses, I want to know everything before we make an offer." Metal Sonic nodded and flew away to carry out his orders. The mad doctor floated down as he stroked his moustache. "Ah, a whole warehouse of Angelic Steel! We'll harness its power and once we do, nothing will stop us from claiming the piece of the Spear of Destiny! I know I say that every time, but this time nothing will stop us!"
"WHO YOU CALLING NOTHING?!"

At the sudden declaration, the Legion of Doom turn around to see two figures glaring down at them from a nearby rooftop. It was Sonic and Batman, having followed them into this dimension. The former wasted no time in boosting across the air, bouncing off of Eggman's Egg Mobile, causing it to spin around at high speeds, before striking Tirek in the face with a Homing Attack.
While the hedgehog blitzed through the air, Batman leapt down and threw two Batarangs at Loki and Bowser, the resulting explosions stunning them long enough for them to relinquish their grips of Odette and Clara, the two demons rushing into their mother's awaiting arms.
The Dark Knight looked to Carmine and said, "Get out of here while you can!"
The Overlord looked at the human curiously, wanting answers to what was going on, but decided against it as to protect her daughters. She eyed the Batman curiously before nodding gratefully at him before leaving the area with her daughters.
Behind the Dark Knight, Sonic was zooming around an angry Tirek, who swiped and clawed at the annoying hedgehog to try and get him to cease his actions. The centaur growled when Sonic suddenly appeared on his shoulder, "You're not very good at this are you?" Was all he said before kicking Tirek in the face, using the momentum to soar through the air and land next to Batman.
The two Guardians looked around to see that they were surrounded by the Legion of Doom, who didn't look very happy at all.
While Batman pressed a button on his gauntlet, sending an unknown signal, Sonic simply smirked up at his arch nemesis and said, "Yo, Eggman! Thanks for that little massage the other day!" He thanked sarcastically, referring to almost being crushed by the Gravitational Field.
The Man with a Master Plan slammed his fist on the console angrily, "I SHOULD'VE KNOWN YOU'D SURVIVE THAT, YOU STUBBORN LITTLE HEDGEHOG!"
"You're done here, Eggman!" Sonic declared, not allowing Eggman's plans to continue any further. "You and your little 'Legion of Doom' aren't getting that piece of the Spear of Destiny! So just pack up and head home!"
"WHAT!!!" Eggman exclaimed in shock, surprised that his arch enemy knows of his plans.
Meanwhile Loki simply looked at the hedgehog in confusion, "'Legion of Doom'?" He repeated, not really liking the name for their temporary alliance. "That's what you're calling us?"
"I actually kinda like it." Tirek commented with a smirk.
"You would."
"Grrrr... I don't know how you figured out our plans, but it doesn't matter!" Eggman dismissed, not worried in the slightest. "We beat you all once before and we'll do it again! Our alliance is unstoppable!"
"You all have a lot to answer for!" Batman declared, stepping forward with a stern look on his face. "Who is the evil speedster? Why did he bring you together in the first place?"
"Why would we tell you that? From where we are standing, you appear to be at the disadvantage." Tirek smiled, cracking his neck as he slowly advances on the two heroes. "You see there are four of us and only two of you. You have no feasible way of defeating us alone."
"Good thing they aren't alone, Horns McGee!"
"What?" Was all Tirek said before he got blasted in the face by a missile, causing him to topple over as his assailant flew overhead and landed next to his fellow Guardians. Tirek snarled as he slowly got back up, only to be stomped on the head by Mario, sending him face first back onto the ground.
When the centaur got back up to his hooves, he saw his most hated nemesis appear in a flash of light, standing next to that new unicorn and the other Guardians with her wings flared aggressively. Now the appearance of the other unicorn surprised Tirek somewhat, whomever she was, she must've been important enough to be brought along for this adventure. He hated not knowing things of vital importance, so he vowed to learn as much as he could about this stranger when he got the chance.
"Whatever scheme you were planning is over!" Twilight shouted, her eyes shining bright with magical rage, still rightfully angry with the Legion for their attempts to kill them. "This is your only chance, return to your universes peacefully or we shall make you by force!"
"I'm afraid that isn't going to happen, Princess Twilight." Loki shut her down with a smirk, his scepter lighting up brightly. "We don't like how our stories end, so we're going to do a little rewrite. Unfortunately you will not be alive long enough to see the finished product."
Sonic couldn't help but chuckle mirthlessly at his arch nemesis, "This is the second time you've pulled this trick, Eggman! Reality wasn't meant to be warped by jerks like you! Haven't you learned from the last time you tried this?! Aren't you worried about breaking reality?!"
"Oh, our world is so bent out of shape that it is bound to snap!" Eggman replied with a grin. "But all of that is moot! When I only had the Foundation of all Dimensions, I could only bend the rules of reality, cheat them, and so on. I had to follow its rules lest I risk destroying it like that fool Exiled! Like the Foundation, the Spear of Destiny has no limits, except any damage that will be done will be erased when we reshape everything else!"
"Like we're gonna let that happen, fat boy!" Mario frowned, clenching his fists as he faced down Bowser, who had fire spurting out of his maw. "Whatever that speedster promised you, he won't deliver on it!"
"Let us deal with that, plumber boy!" Bowser smirked knowingly. "You made a big mistake following us here, Mario! Cause you're never leaving!"
Eggman chuckled as he pressed one of the yellow buttons on his jacket, and when he did, the sound of jet engines could be heard from behind Carmine's warehouse. When Sonic and the Guardians turned around they saw a massive mech rise into the air. It was a grey, rotund mech, very similar to his Egg Pawns but without the head, with the Eggman Empire emblem in the middle of it.

Eggman flew his Egg Mobile into the open hatch on top of the Egg Devil, enclosing himself within it as it came online, the red lights shining menacingly. "LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU LAST AGAINST THIS ONE, RODENT!" Eggman taunted within the mech, the right hand shooting forward, attached to the mech with a black energy chain, crackling with red electricity. Before Sonic could react, he was grabbed by the mech's massive hand, and was swung around in the air before being flung right through the warehouse, landing on the other side of it in a crumpled heap.
"Ugh... I know I can curl into a ball.... but that doesn't mean that you can treat me like one!" Sonic quipped as he got to his feet. He looked up in the air to see the Egg Devil flying overhead, Eggman's taunting laughter echoing from the mech. "You wanna chase, Egghead? You got one!" He quickly stretched before taking off after Eggman, knowing that his friends could handle themselves when it came to fighting the other members of the Legion of Doom.
Meanwhile
"Hi, there! Can I interest you in taking a moment to talk about--"
"GO FUCK YOURSELF!"
Charlie shut right up as the rude demon budged past her, causing not only for Vaggie to glare daggers at the demon, but Alastor as well.
The Radio Demon decided to accompany Charlie and Vaggie on their stroll, passing out fliers for the new and improved Hazbin Hotel. He had nothing better to do since he had humiliated Vox and the other Vees, so he to occupy himself somehow.
His shadows swirled beneath his feet as he slowly summoned tentacles to teach the demon respect. "Didn't your mother teach you how to treat a lady?" He said with a growl before being stopped by Charlie, who zipped in front of him and pleaded with him to stop.
"Al! Please!" She begged, using those adorable eyes of hers to reach the demon's black heart. "Just let it go."
...He hated when she did that. He relented, dismissing his shadows and stamping his microphone on the ground. "Very well. I'll just kill him later."
That was the best she was going to get out of him.
"We'd probably have more willing tenants if someone hadn't pissed off the Vees!" Vaggie looked pointedly at Alastor, who glared back with his permanent smile.
"Oh, the Exorcist has some fight in her! How fun!" Alastor laughed, causing Vaggie to snarl, her wings flaring out from her back. "At least I didn't lie to the person I supposedly love! Charlie knows who I am, she only found out about you a month ago! So, my dear, who's worse, hmmm?"
"SCREW YOU AND YOUR SHIT EATING GRIN, ASSHOLE!"
"Guys please, can we not do this today?" Charlie pleaded, standing between the two of them before this could escalate any further. "Look, let's just keep going and passing out fliers! Please don't fight!"
The two looked at the Princess of Hell and, begrudgingly in Alastor's case, relented and turned away from one another bitterly. It was safe to say that Vaggie still held a considerable dislike for the Radio Demon, even after everything they've been through.
There's also the fact that she's annoyed at how close he's grown to Charlie.
That bothered her greatly.
Alastor simply found annoying Vaggie a source of great entertainment.
That was all.
Charlie sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration. Even after beating Adam and rebuilding the hotel they still cannot get along to save their lives. Why Charlie puts up with it? Cause she loved them both. No, she didn't love Alastor like that, get your mind out of the gutter.
"Alright, now that that's been settled, why don't you two apologize to one another?" Charlie suggested, implementing a lesson of redemption into this situation.
"No way!"
"I shall do no such thing!"
Charlie groaned again, but before she could berate the two for their immaturity, a very large explosion went off behind her, causing the Princess of Hell to turn around and gaze with a wide eyed stare as the Egg Devil flew through the street while a blue blur chased after it, dodging multiple explosions.
As the three Hazbins stared at the retreating mech and blur, they could only say three words as they processed the very odd display.
"What." Alastor.
"The." Charlie.
"Fuck." Vaggie.
That was certainly something. Sure there were daily turf wars in Hell, but that level of destruction was only seen on Extermination Day. And that blur was definitely something Charlie had never seen before. And that robot was definitely too advanced to be Vox's. So Charlie, ever the curious demoness, dropped her fliers and rushed after them, following the trail of destruction left behind, much to Vaggie's worry.
"CHARLIE, WAIT!" Vaggie cried out, sprouting out her wings and taking after her girlfriend.
Alastor simply grinned and disappeared into a swirl of shadows, really glad he decided to go for this outing today.

With Sonic
"OH HO HO HO HO HO!!!" Eggman bellowed as the Egg Devil flexed its hands, crackling with red electricity, focused on the blue hedgehog currently chasing after him. "Good luck against this one, Sonic! Even you aren't fast enough to stop me this time!"
"I wouldn't put money on that, Egghead!" Sonic snarked, smirking at the mech as it readied for battle.
The Egg Devil spun its upper body around in a circular motion before uncoupling its right hand and swinging it around above its head. "TAKE THIS!" Eggman brought the mech's hand down on the street, intent on crushing Sonic where he ran. But the hedgehog moved out of the way as the makeshift wrecking ball made impact with the ground.
Quickly recalling the hand, Eggman spun it around again before swinging at the Blue Blur, wanting to smash him from the side. But the blue nuisance jumped over the attack, so he brought the hand back again, once more, Sonic having jumped over the attack.
When he went to swing again, Sonic jumped and curled, dashing into the fist with a Homing Attack which sent the Egg Devil's hand right back into its face, damaging it slightly. To add insult to injury, Sonic zoomed forward at impossible velocity and proceeded to hit the mech's left leg with a Homing Attack, bouncing off of it so that he could get close and personal with the Egg Devil.
It was then sent launching through a nearby building with a Homing Attack, destroying it completely as Sonic blitzed through the wreckage. "You were saying, Eggman?" Sonic taunted, trying to get under his enemy's skin.
"Don't get cocky!" Eggman reminded with a smirk. "Fight's just getting started!"
The Egg Devil then slowly began raising its enclosed fists into the air, red electricity crackling around them, before bringing them down onto the scorching street, sending a wave of red energy down towards Sonic. The hedgehog jumped over the continuous waves with ease, sticking his tongue out at his enemy, causing him great anger.
"You mischievous little...."
The Egg Devil raised its hands again, except they were open this time, and several buildings on the sidewalk were torn from the pavement and now hovered in front of the mech. "GRAH!!!" Eggman exclaimed as he threw the buildings forward to try and crush the little hedgehog.
Sonic's eyes widened before getting into action. He boosted forward and leapt into the air, air dashing through a broken window, bouncing off of some furniture, and dashing into the next building and doing the same thing. He repeated this process before smashing through the final window and hitting the face of the mech with a Homing Attack, sending it flying backwards.
"YARGGGHHH!!! NO!" Eggman exclaimed as he flew back at high speeds.
As the fight progressed, it was starting to gain a lot of attention from the various bystanders in Hell. This was due to the fact that unbeknownst to them, this fight was actually being recorded by a small surveillance drone created by VoxTech. This meant that it was being streamed to every television in all of Hell.
It garnered the attention of several Overlords, Sinners, Demons, Imps, even the Seven Deadly Sins were watching this epic battle. But the one who was interested the most was Vox, who was basically vibrating in his seat at the sight of advanced tech. Tech that he didn't own! As soon as he found out who made that mech, he would exploit them and create his own version.
That would show Alastor!
Back with the fight, Eggman fired a red, energy blast from the logo of the Egg Devil, decimating the street and everything it contained. Sonic, thinking quickly on his feet quickly made a sharp right and entered another street to avoid being destroyed.
Once the blast stopped firing, Eggman leaned forward in his Egg Mobile and searched for the remains of his nemesis. "Where'd you go, rodent?" He darted his head left and right to see if there was any sign of the blue pest.
He looked everywhere.
Except behind him.
"RIGHT HERE!"
"WHAT?!"
The Egg Devil turned around and was struck in the chest by a Homing Attack, sending it tumbling down the street, digging its hand into the ground to stop its movement. Eggman growled as Sonic boosted forward, launching the mechs hand forward in retaliation.
Sonic slid under the limb before getting back up and smirking cockily at Eggman.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!" Eggman snarled as he brought back the mechs hand, quickly grabbing Sonic from behind before he could do anything to stop it. He laughed, swinging the hedgehog around in a circle before tossing him right through multiple windows before crashing through a brick wall, landing in front of a white and yellow building that looked out of place in Hell.
The Heaven Embassy.
Sonic slowly got to his feet as the Egg Devil burst through the building, demolishing it completely. The robot stood menacingly over the blue hedgehog, its lights shining brightly while Sonic simply clenched his fist and his teeth.
"Nowhere to run, Sonic." Eggman taunted, taking a step closer to his greatest enemy. "Now you're going to be destroyed in front of all these filthy sinners. Fitting that you die here, for your sins against the glorious Eggman Empire!"
Sonic yawned.
Eggman blinked.
He placed a hand on his hip and tilted his head to the side, "Ya done?"
"....Yes." Eggman grumbled before raising the Egg Devil's arms into the air. But before he could bring them down, a loud and familiar roar was heard by everyone. Before he could turn around, both him and his mech were slammed in the back by Lord Tirek, who was soaring through the air, crashing through multiple buildings before landing directly into Eggman.
Meanwhile at Vee Tower
"HOLY SHIT!!!" Vox stood up from his seat, popcorn spilling all over the floor as he twitched at the sheer power of the Egg Devil, watching through one of the many monitors in his surveillance room. After the little debacle with Alastor and the tower, Vox got an alert from one of the many drones he had surveying the pentagram, specifically one roaming the Industrial District.
To his surprise someone was attacking Carmilla Carmine directly.
He came to two conclusions.
1). Whoever was attacking was either very desperate or very stupid - most likely the latter.
And 2). If they did succeed - which was unlikely - There'd be less competition.
But what really got his attention was the fact that there was a human in Hell, alive and well, with robots at his command. And he wasn't alone as well, no, there was a massive centaur-like creature by his side, another human wearing some type of regal attire with a golden horned helmet, and a massive turtle-dragon thing, Vox didn't know.
So naturally he continued watching, wanting to see where this was all going, and he wasn't disappointed.
But he was even more confused.
There was now a man dressed as a bat and a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog on the scene, and judging by the way that they were conversing and glaring at one another, Vox could tell that there was history. He was even more curious when they mentioned a Spear of Destiny.
He had no clue what the fuck that was, so he quickly ran a search.
There was nothing.
So what the hell were they talking about?
Now there were unicorns, short plumbers, and an armored human on the scene.
"What the fuck is happening?" Vox couldn't help but ask. His face started vibrating; Velvette was calling him. "Ugh, ignore." He swiped the call away, leaning forward to focus on what was happening. He was glad that he did, since he proceeded to lose his shit when the Egg Devil appeared.
Now that was some tech, and that human had built it.
He was better than Sir Pentious, that's for sure.
Maybe he could use him? Force him to help him in his fight against Alastor? His attention was brought back to the fight when both the Egg Devil and the blue hedgehog took off at high speeds. Leaning forward intently he watched, practically standing on his seat when he saw the power displayed by the Egg Devil.
"Want. Want! Want! SO MUCH WANT!" Vox fanboyed over the robot, actually rooting for it.
And now that the centaur had arrived on the scene, things were getting interesting, and he wanted to know everything.
And when he did, he would-
When did the unicorns get there?
Back at the Embassy
Tirek brought his fist down onto the shield, trying to break it apart so that he could get to Twilight, but she proved her worth by fighting back. As Tirek growled angrily at the alicorn, he failed to notice Starlight Glimmer fly around him in a magical bubble until she fired a blast of magic directly into his face, causing him to roar in annoyance as he tried to block his face with his hand.
Twilight smirked, atta girl, before firing a massive blast that sent Tirek flying across the street, landing on a condemned building.
Right beside Charlie Morningstar, who just arrived on the scene with Vaggie landing beside her.
Vaggie moved Charlie out of the way as Tirek got to his hooves, clenching his fists, before galloping forward and firing a blast of magic from his horns.
"What the fuck is happening?" Vaggie asked, wondering what was going on.
Charlie could only stare in silence at the ensuing carnage, not noticing Alastor appearing behind them with his usual grin on his face.
They all stood together and watched in stunned awe, Iron Man flying over their heads firing a blast at a hovering Loki, who was using his scepter to fly around the city to try and gain some distance from the Armored Avenger. The watched as Iron Man fired a Repulsor Ray at Loki, but it just phased right through him.
An illusion.
No, the real Loki was busy fighting Batman on a nearby rooftop, swiping at the Caped Crusader's head with the sharp edge of his scepter. Batman ducked underneath the attack and went for Loki's legs, but the God of Mischief teleported away, reappearing behind the Batman with a group of clones by his side.
As the God of Mischief and the Bat of Gotham fought, Mario jumped from rooftop to rooftop in pursuit of Bowser, who was launching fireball after fireball at the illusive plumber, perched atop the Heaven Embassy in a King Kong-like fashion. "HOLD STILL, MOUSTACHE!"
And where were Sonic and Eggman?
They were brawling in the street, causing insurmountable damage to the surrounding area.
Tirek backhanded Twilight right towards the trio of Hazbins, and she would've crashed right into them had Alastor not produced a shadow shield that batted the alicorn away into a nearby car, the Radio Demon snickering at the poor mare.
Back with Tirek, he set his sights on Starlight Glimmer and grinned, "I don't believe we've been properly acquainted, my dear. I am Lord Tirek, soon to be ruler of Equestria, and whom might you be? A friend of Princess Twilight, perhaps?"
Starlight felt threatened, but stood her ground, "I am Starlight Glimmer! Student of Friendship!"
"Interesting." Tirek hummed before charging up his horns, "Very interesting, indeed."
He fired a blast from his horns, knowing that Starlight would teleport to safety. From what he observed of her, she appeared to be nearly on par with Princess Twilight in terms of magical prowess. But there was also some form of guilt in her eyes.
Tirek was perceptive, and he caught onto that in the first few moments of meeting her.
He grinned, he would need to know more about this mare if he were to make use of this. But onto the matter at hand, he backhanded an orb of magic from Princess Twilight before punching her to the ground, raising his front legs to crush her. She quickly teleported out of sight as Tirek brought his hoof down.
He snarled as he charged forward, sights set on Starlight Glimmer.
With Sonic and Eggman, the blue hero had sent forward multiple Sonic Wind attacks to try and stagger the mech, all the while darting around it at high speeds to confuse it. "SLOW DOWN, YOU PEST!" Eggman demanded, unable to keep track of his movements.
He was suddenly struck from behind, staggering forward before being hit in the front, sending the mech onto its back. As he tried to get back up, he was held down by a Unibeam blast, thanks to Iron Man. "You look tense, Eggman, lay down and relax." He quipped as Sonic rushed up the Heavenly Embassy and struck Bowser in the back, sending him falling to the ground, landing right on top of Tirek, creating an explosion of dust that shook the area.
The explosion distracted Loki long enough for Batman to throw multiple Batarangs, most of the phasing through the illusions and striking the real one in the chest, causing Loki to stumble back. Gotcha! Batman rushed forward and punched Loki directly in the nose, sending him flying off the building and landing on a car.
Delivering the Coup De Grace, Iron Man fired multiple missiles at the fallen Egg Devil while Twilight and Starlight fired beams of magic, destroying it upon impact, sending Eggman flying out of the mech in a cartoonish fashion.
When Twilight turned around to face the other members of the Legion, the rest of the Guardians gathered behind her, glaring intently at their adversaries. They were ready to continue the fight, and the Legion got up, with Tirek snarling, charging up his horns with magic.
He would've unleashed it too, had it not been for Loki, who teleported in front of them and held up his arm. "As much as I would like to destroy them here and now, we haven't the time for this." When Bowser went to protest, Loki sent him a look that shut him up, but that didn't stop him from pouting. He set his sights on the Guardians and said, "You may have won this battle, but rest assured you will not win the war. This is far from over."
With a stamp of his scepter, the Legion of Doom teleported away, escaping the Guardians so that they could continue their search for the piece of the spear.
But they had to find out where Eggman landed first.
"They got away!" Sonic exclaimed, frustrated that they evaded capture.
"Now what the hell do we do?" Iron Man directed his query to Twilight, who too, looked frustrated that the Legion got away.
She sighed, "I don't know. But we can't give up yet!" She smiled at her friends and said, "So we keep searching for that spear piece before the Legion can get their hands on it."
"Well, isn't this interesting!"
At the sound of the static voice, Twilight and the other Guardians turned to the sound of the voice and came face to face with the Radio Demon, the Princess of Hell, and her girlfriend, all with differing looks on their faces. Vaggie looked at them with distrust, hovering protectively around Charlie. Alastor was smiling, that was all he did. And Charlie looked uncertain, locking eyes with Twilight.
The two princesses stared at each other for what seemed like years.
In a lot of ways they were very similar, both saw the best in people, they were shining lights in their respective universes.
And now they were meeting for the very first time.
Whatever was said next would be ingrained in their minds forever.
So Charlie, ever the elegant princess, said, "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!!!"
