Scootaloo blinked as she woke up. She thought that she has died, unless there is an afterlife. The memories of what happened was leaving her mind as she looked around. The surrounding area was a wonderbolt arena, but everything was purple with red transparent cubes littering the sky. She didn't think the afterlife would be so... purple. Then again she didn't know what she thought the afterlife would look like. But this wasn't it.

But as she was thinking she felt bored. "Ugh, not even a minute inside this afterlife and I'm now bored, is there anything to do?" Scootaloo questioned to herself. She thought of racing some wonderbolts and imagined it. Spitfire in the lead with sorin behind her. She giggled at herself as immediately after her death she would think of the wonderbolts. However as she opened her eyes she could only stare in amazement.

In the arena was a red transparent spitfire, followed by a red transparent sorin. It was exactly as she imagined it to be. She couldn't believe though, until it struck her.

She could create anything she could want with her imagination. She giggled at that as that a power any filly or colt would love.

But right now, she's going to use this power to entertain herself.

But before she could do anything, she felt a shift, as if her entire soul moved. She waited as gor whatever this was to leave. The feeling of her soul moving was disorienting. And getting a hood of this power of creation, the willed a window into whatever was happening so she could get a grip on what was happening.

Sonic was shocked. Eggman had dug up a ruby, and with it in his grasp, he took his super form away with ease. And sonic new that this time, eggman wasn't playing around.

It was around 2 years since sonic first stopped eggman, and this was the first time he was caught of gaurd.

From what sonic knew, the only way for him to lose the super form was if he ran out of rings.

Meanwihle sonic was lost in his mind eggman took the chaos emeralds and using the phantom ruby, spread them in pocket dimensions all over the island, and then teleported to a different location. An island rising from the sea, creating a flying island.

Looking at the island, sonic considered that he might lose. But despite hid doubts we went to his trusty plane he found, it had helped him reach hard to reach places.

However as he reached the location of his plane, he found a young fox tinkering with the plane.

"Hey, who are you, and what are you doing?" Sonic asked the fox, as he walked up to the young person.

"O-oh it's n-nothing, i-i just t-thought that the plane n-needed fixing." Said the stuttering fox.

"Well thank you, but I must ask again, who are you?" Sonic asked the fox again.

"O-oh, my n-name is miles, but y-you can call me tails." Said the now introduced tails.

"Well little buddy hop on, we're going on an adventure." Sonic said, as he knew tails was good(1).

"R-really? Why?" Asked tails.

"Well, I need a pilot and I'm bad at flying this plane." Answered sonic as he patted tails head.

Eggman laughed as he had found a power GREATER than the chaos emeralds! With the power of the phantom ruby, he can create the best theme park ANYONE will ever see in there ENTIRE life. All he needed to do was use the power given to him by the ruby.

As eggman laughed more. Entire attractions rose into being from thin air, troops of armored badnicks guarding them as his new base constructed itself under his feet, a throne made of solid light materializing infront of himself.

He put the ruby in the slot created for it specifically, as eggman sat in his throne, he felt everything in his new eggman theme park.

Sonic and tails ran though green hill zone, intent on finding the hidden emerald. Tails holding a device monitoring the local area for the energy of the chaos emeralds.

It was silent until. "Over there, I am getting a huge spike of chaos energy in that direction." Tails said as his device made a beebing sound.

"OK little guy, stay here." Sonic said as he wanted to keep tails safe as he was still 7 years old.

Sonic ran through green hill as it started to warp and change. The unrestricted power of the emerald bleeding into the reality around it.

The portal was up ahead, it leading into a pocket dimension of chaos.

The surroundings were quickly devolving into nonsense as he continued to the portal, gravity shifting from up down and somehow inside out.

But as thing where becoming nothing but chaos, sonic entered the portal.

Sonic was inside a flat plain of reality, as he was somehow looking at himself inside the flat plain, but sonic decided not to question the weirdness of it as he could explain it of as the emeralds not having any control.

Sonic quickly understood what to do. He needed to move the reality around his body to move himself to the goal, having to destroy barriers in his track.

Sonic was disoriented at first once he completed the course, but once he got up he spotted tails.

"Hey tails, anything happen while I was gone?" Asked sonic as he started walking with him again.

"No, but you do now have the first emerald correct?" Tails asked, sonic replied by taking the emerald out(2). "Good, no all we need is the 6 others, there should be a second one nearby. Let's go." Sonic followed, surprised on how tails stopped stuttering as he got into his role.

However, as tails and sonic found where the second emerald was, a machine stopped them in there path.

It looked like a robotic version of eggman in his iconic hover machine.

"Muwahahaha, you really thought I wouldn't notice you gathering the chaos emeralds? Well I new the moment you walked into the first chaos dimension. I am the gaurdian of green hill zone, and you will NOT survive!" Eggmachine said.

Scootaloo watched the duo fight the machine in awe. Even though she was fifteen didn't mean she lost her live for action. She didn't care that this eggman apparently has this super powerful artifact. She just watched as the blue blur destroy the machine and gather the emerald. She was a huge fan girl, so she decided to change her look, as she had already died, might as well treat it as a new beginning.

Her body morphed, hooves turning into feet and arms (with shoes and white gloves). The shoes was a shade of purple with red stripes. Her gloves had a red gem in the middle. Her body was the same color of orange, and her wings where now made of phantom energy. Her face was now a mask, the mask had 2 big shards of gems for eyes and a bronze metallic look on it.

But now, she needed a cool name. She thought until a name found itself in her mind. Aleph(3).

(1) sonic trusted tails as he noticed how skilled tails was at fixing the tornado.

(2) the chaos emeralds are very powerful, and also it would be way to easy to steal them if they just float around, so the get stored in a pocket dimension tied to sonic or to whoever took the emerald.

(3) aleph numbers are a sequence of numbers used to represent the cardinality (or size) of infinite sets that can be well-ordered. So it's a very big number. And a fancy way of saying infinite.

Author's Note

The phantom ruby worked a but differently than normally. It's imagination and will based like the green lanterns. Except illusion based and reality warping property's.
