      While everyone was sleeping that night and even aliens from other worlds also fell asleep, only Tails, in collaboration with Eggman, as well as with light assistance from Omega and Metal Sonic, studied the essence inside Princess Alice, and also thought about how to remove this creature from her body. Yes, so that it does not accidentally break free and destroy everything here. Or it didn’t come out of her very painfully, which could also be possible. By morning, in the basement, in silence for everyone, they created a new device, more like a futuristic chair with a hairdressing machine. However, it was a machine for pumping the demon Iblis out of Alice's body. In addition to this, they studied the essences of Mephiles and Infinite. Having learned that one of them used to be a black slurry, similar to a puddle, and the other was an ordinary jackal, until it was filled with magical energy from a certain ruby of illusions, they came up with two new types of inventions for one and for them. At the same time, they were sure that both Mephiles and Iblis would not suffer at all. In theory. They take the finished chair with the device from the basement to the corridor, where all the guests from parallel universes have already woken up. — Princess! — Omega addresses the girl with red hair. She gets up from her chair and turns her head towards the robot. — Come to us! Please! Alice obediently approached and noticed that they had been up to something during the night. — What is this? — Something that will help you. You will be free and can even calmly release the emotions of sadness whenever you want, no longer fearing that it will affect the whole world. — Metal explains. — Sit down! — the doctor asks and the princess sits down in the chair, which turned out to be very comfortable and soft. Tails fastens the princess to a chair with an iron beam, in the center of which there was a circle-shaped glass flask without holes or entrances. And behind it was a glass tube, similar to a glass cup, which was directed towards the princess's chest. Around the glass ball above the beam was a circular mechanism with black squares. Eggman entered the command through a laptop connected to the machine and the machine began to hum quietly. At this moment, the circular mechanism, starting from the top light bulb, began to move clockwise. — When all the green lights light up, Iblis, who is inside you, will move here! — the doctor points to the glass circle. — He definitely won’t escape from here. I promise. Elice smiles in response: — Thank you. — There are two more left to help. — says Tails. — That's right, colleague. — Eggman answers. The scientist and the two-tailed mechanic each pick up one more device and each of them goes to his patients. The fox just before turned his gaze to the fox Fiona, who was sitting on the sofa and grumbling. The fox came up with a trick to play a little trick on her, so to speak. — “Since she treated me like this in her universe, what will she say when she sees herself through my eyes, realizing what she was like and what I felt then. Well, of course, not me in the literal sense, but I think the essence is clear.” — Tails thought as he opened the refrigerator and took out a chocolate candy. He lightly pushes his palm with the candy behind her head, above her right shoulder. — Leave me alone! — she answered grumpily, feeling his hand and not turning her gaze. Tails didn't move his hand away. — Leave me alone, I say! — Tails was restless, shaking his palm slightly, causing the candy to jump. Fiona even turned her head sharply and tried to bite his hand with her teeth, but the fox was quite quick to remove his hand with the candy at the last moment. — Fiona! — Tails turned to her with a malicious smile and again extended his palm with the candy. The evil fox with a single tail turned its gaze towards him and the candy in his palm. Her anger immediately changes first to surprise, and then to mercy. — This is for me? Tails just nodded silently, and Fiona smiled at him for such kindness and was about to lightly stretch her head to take the candy from his hand and eat it, when suddenly Tails abruptly takes his hand away. — Oops! — the mechanic says, quickly puts the candy in his mouth and eats it, without even letting Fiona try it. The latter bulges her eyes without expecting this. — Naive! — he calls her names and sticks his tongue out at her, after which he moves away. Fiona was very angry with the fox for this, she clenched her teeth and took a breath. She really wanted to break free from the chains, pounce on this teasing greedy and strangle him. But there is no way you can break the chains to escape. Yes, and nothing can be done about it. Accepting this as a fact, Fiona despairs and hangs her head down. — Don't despair, Fiona! — Scourge whispers in her ear. — When we finally break out of these shackles, we will teach them all a cruel lesson. They will pay us dearly for these humiliations and bullying of us. — You know that I can hear your conversation, right? — Terios asks them, sitting next to them. — Just don’t try to blab to anyone! — Scourge threatened him. — But the fact that? What will you do to me? Bound in shackles, will you pounce on me and strangle me? Yeah! Now! — Terios grinned. And at that time Eggman glued, as if with Velcro, a circular device on the forehead of Infinite’s helmet, on which there was exactly the same timer made of green lights. Having glued it to the forehead of the helmet, the doctor presses the button in the center and turns it on. The first light on top lights up. — Don’t take it off until it goes clockwise! — Okay. — the jackal answers and turns away, looking through the window at the city of Green Hills. — Such a small city, but so much energy. I'm shocked. — Are you used to this universe? — Wath one is? It's not the same energy here. She's kind of bitter... And... Not the same... It's like I'm a stranger here. — We are all strangers here. Each of us. — Eggman answers and goes to Tails, who was already approaching Mephiles. The crystal hedgehog noticed that they were approaching him. — What do you want? Did I do something wrong? — Don't worry! We found a way to fix you. — Tails explains. — Really? — the demon raises his lower eyelids before his eyes. — And how? Tails silently responded by showing in his hand a device that looked like a glass or flask, equipped with magnets and other electrified devices. The demon widened his eyes, and the fox began to persuade him: — Don't be afraid! It won't hurt. We have studied your habits and your body structure. According to reports, you were a black puddle in the past. Harmless and unharmed. However, you absorbed someone's shadow and as a result you became like this. Perhaps this is why Sonic in your world will kill you. But if you remain the puddle you were before, then your Sonic from your world will not kill you. — Trust us, Mephiles! We know what we're doing. — Eggman adds, and Tails then continued. — Just as an example, stick your hand into this flask and I will start the car. But Mephiles did not want to do this. He was afraid to do such a thing. However, you can’t argue with them and I had to listen. The demon, turning his sad gaze to the side, slowly raises his clawed palm and pulls it forward. The fox substitutes his device and waits for Mephiles to stick his hand there. A little more and we could start. However, Mephiles immediately made his gaze angry, abruptly grabbed Tails' device, tore it from his hands and broke it, smashing it against the wall. Of course, the scientist and mechanic did not expect this from him. Even the other guests from other worlds, as well as Mad Carl and Sonic, widened their eyes at what Mephiles did. — Did you think I was naive enough to trust you? — the demon said in a terrible voice. — Mephiles? — all that Silver could say, not understanding what he was doing. — What did you do? — Tails asked. — What I had to do so that you wouldn’t kill me. — Mephiles explained to them. — No. — Eggman extended his hands. — On the contrary, we wanted to help you. — You're lying! When I was a black puddle, I felt nothing but heartache. I suffered like this almost forever, being in the scepter, until I was finally freed and given this appearance, and you want to return me to my previous state so that I can continue to suffer. I won't let you change me like that. — What are you talking about? — Sonic did not understand, and Mephiles continued his conversation: — Will the dark beginning disappear? Couldn't you even think that I wouldn't bother you? I’ll let you take everything away from me, simply because you are blind and don’t see what true power gives. He explains, pointing his finger at Sonic. The latter narrowed his eyes and replied: — What are you talking about? — Sonic did not understand, and Mephiles continued his conversation: — Will the dark beginning disappear? Couldn't you even think that I wouldn't bother you? I’ll let you take everything away from me, simply because you are blind and don’t see what true power gives. — he explains, pointing his finger at Sonic. The latter narrowed his eyes and replied: — You don't know me well. — Really? — the demon asked sarcastically. — It's you don't know me well. I am a demon! The dark essence of the deity of Solaris. I know everything about each of you. Like, for example, the fact that you, doctor, in your world have always been an enemy for Sonic and even pretended to be his friend in the fight against the Mitarex, so that later you could again become enemies with your Sonic and kill him. Or the fact that, for example, Shadow, will try hard to save the world so that all humanity sees him as a hero, but in reality you won’t even realize that everyone will only fear, hate and push you away. Shadow himself at that time was still on the porch outside the door, but he heard everything clearly even to himself and became thoughtful again. Crazy Karl quietly moved away from the entire crowd and ran into the basement. Mephiles continued at this time: — I am the evil that you will never change into good. For example, someone can invent harmless chocolates and give them to children, and someone can create an atomic bomb and destroy the whole world. Nobody changes that easily, Sonic. All your hard work trying to change us all for the better and trying to fix us was in vain. Because villains will never change, no matter how much good you do for them. The entire multiverse had a chance to become better and change for the better, heading towards heaven. But unfortunately, she will never achieve this. And since this does not happen, it means that our entire multiverse is not ideal. It should never have existed since there is evil, chaos and destruction everywhere. That is why I planned everything in advance to ensure that Iblis left the body of princess Alice so that I could reunite with him in Solaris. Silver turned his gaze to Alice, who was listening to all this in shock, sitting in Eggman’s chair. Her device has almost reached the end clockwise. — And then you, being Solaris, will destroy all living things? — he asked the demon, to which he replied: — Exactly, Silver. You have always been naive and too trusting of everyone around you, not even realizing that you could be manipulated. After all, you only listened to your partner Blaze in everything, from whom you adopted all the high moral principles. And who ultimately paid with her life. Silver at first bulged his eyes at what he heard, realizing that Mephiles, due to Silver’s naivety, would kill his partner. He gets angry, clenching his hands into fists and preparing to attack the demon. — Why are you telling all of this to all of us on purpose? — Sonic asked, to which Mephiles grinned: — For why? That you all understand! We don't need rescues or help from good people. We do not need to be treated, because we are already healthy. We don't need to be corrected. Our abilities are not a curse at all, but gifts. Shadow enters the house, shocked by everything he heard. — No, Mephiles! — he says. — Don't bark, you're a boastful form of showing off! — the demon snapped in response to the black-scarlet one. — You don't know what you're talking about. — Sonic tried to convince Mephiles, but the latter remained his own: — You're wrong, Sonic! I watched you from the depths. Through the cowardly eyes of a weakening demon. You would have immediately sent me to my death if I had not pretended and lied that this world was weakening me. Poor, naive, blue little hedgehog in the body of an adult hedgehog, he believes so much in fairy tales where good always triumphs over evil... And he tries so hard to sit on two chairs, and your life puts you before a choice... But gods like me don’t have to elections. The gods do not ask anyone's permission. The gods take everything at once, even without millet. Well, yes. I was deliberately stalling for time with my chatter. — the demon pointed his finger at Princess Alice, whose device had already completed the process. Suddenly the princess felt as if something sharp was stabbing her inside, that she sharply stretched her stomach forward, closed her eyes and screamed in pain. At that very moment, the essence of Iblis came out of her and moved into the glass ball. Mephiles was already preparing to fly into the glass ball to grab Iblis, but Silver managed to grab him with psychokinesis. The white hedgehog looked at the demon very menacingly through clenched teeth. — YOU KILLED BLAZE!!! - he shouted at him and threw the demon into the kitchen. Infinite took Mephiles' words literally seriously and, without waiting for his device on the forehead of his helmet to reach the activation process, grabs it and pulls it out of the helmet. The Jackal was determined to stay with his abilities. Even Scourge and Fiona, using the strength of the tree, stretched their arms to the sides, breaking the chains that held them back. With one blow from his right foot, the green hedgehog threw the blue hedgehog through the window onto the street. Shadow ran outside, trying to pick up Sonic, while Omega and Metal tried to hold off Scourge and Fiona. Only Chaos and Infinite chose to simply run away. Hedgehog Reflection chose to attack Silver to help Mephiles. He prepared to summon a Chaos spear, but Tails attacked him from behind and prevented him from doing so. — Princess, get up! — Knuckles says, unfastening it from the chair. Eggman takes out a glass ball from the device with Iblis inside and chooses to run away. Shadow managed to grab Sonic before he hit the ground. Looking around, the black-scarlet noticed that Zavok was not here. Apparently he also ran away. Knuckles, Eggman and Alice run out of the house. — Shadow! — the doctor calls the ultimate life form and hands him a glass ball with Iblis. — Take Iblis and run away from here as quickly as possible. The main thing is to make sure that the ball does not break and Iblis himself does not break out. And if you see Mephiles, don’t let him get close to Iblis! — Understood. — Shadow answers, takes the ball with Iblis and runs away from this place as quickly as possible. Sonic had already come to his senses and ran back into the house. Inside, at this time, Mephiles fought off Silver, pressing him against the wall, starting to choke him by the throat. — What have you done? — Metal Sonic asked Fiona, and she looked at him sarcastically, taking out a can of black graffiti paint, painting his eyes. — You were better before reprogramming. — she answers him, lies on her back and kicks her iron stomach, throwing the blue robotic hedgehog against the wall into the barn with animals. Then the red fox stood up, cut the cable near the chair with a knife and stuck the cut end of the cable into the butt of the other robot. Omega began to receive electric shocks until Sonic realized in time to run to the outlet and remove the cable from the chair from him. Omega stopped being shocked, but he temporarily passed out and fell on his back. Now Sonic began to think, either stop Scourge and Fiona, or help Silver against Mephiles, and also help Tails, whom Terios pressed against the wall and began to hit him in the face with his fists. — Choose, squeaky! Either pursue and stop us, or save your friends! Scourge says grinning as he places Fiona on his back. — Emotions and awareness of signs of sympathy, unlike me, have always made you weak. We'll kill you sometime next time. — the green hedgehog finishes and runs away from the house like a bullet with the fox. Without hesitation, Sonic, screaming, attacked Terios first, when he heard him and managed to shout: — CHAOS CONTROL!!! Before Sonic could reach Reflection, he disappeared from sight as if in a flash and Sonic only crashed his fist into the wall. Now Reflection stood behind him, holding Tails with his right arm around his neck, holding a kitchen knife in his left and threatening to kill the little fox. He didn’t even suspect that Mad Carl was hiding behind the chair with a shovel in his hands. Quietly, the old man snuck up behind the blue impostor and hit him over the head with a shovel, knocking him out. Thus, he saved his friend for one thing. — Thank you, Karl. — Sonic thanked him and ran to help Silver. — I don’t need you anymore, because you fulfilled your purpose for me long ago. — says the demon to the psychokineticist, who has already lost strength and hope of freeing himself, preparing to die from lack of oxygen. When suddenly Sonic ran up to the demon behind him and with one blow from his left fist, charged with lightning, threw him up, breaking a hole in the roof. Silver fell to the floor and tried to catch his breath, clutching his neck with his right hand. Sonic helped the white hedgehog get up. — Run away from here! Quicker! — the blue hedgehog asked him and the psychokineticist runs away, as he said. Sonic turned to Therios, who showed his Chaos Emerald. — I'm tired of you, faker. Get out of my sight. — he answers and disappears from sight, saying. — Chaos control! At that moment, Mephiles returned and grabbed Sonicaz's neck, lifting him off the ground. CinemaSins: Villains love to grab heroes by the throats so that their legs dangle above the ground. AntiSins: Well, how can he show that he is the strongest and most powerful? And in general. Cliché is not a sin. At this time, Major Bennington and his army of soldiers, walking around the base, noticed that a small water wave floated past them through the forest and floated away, which was strange. Although, logically, if it was a flood, they would sooner be flooded and the water would not go anywhere. Hearing someone's evil laughter, they looked into the sky and saw a jackal flying above them with translucent red cubes. — OPEN FIRE!!! — the major commands and the soldiers begin to shoot. Infinite covered himself from the bullets with one of the cubes, like a shield, and flew on, trying to ignore them. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge red bull ran out and ran into another thicket, knocking down a couple of soldiers along the road. — GET OUT OF THE ROAD, YOU BOOTS!!! — he shouted to them and hid in another part of the forest. — First that blue hedgehog, then a two-tailed fox, a dog, three more psychotic hedgehogs, and now a wolf and a dinosaur. — the major was indignant. CinemaSins: Where do you think Zavok looks like a dinosaur? AntiSins: So it was such a joke. He kind of insulted him. You shouldn’t take all words at face value!

***

      Sonic hits Mephiles in the face with his right fist, and he in response hits him with the same hand in his face, so hard that he pushes the hedgehog to the wall of the house, knocking out a hole in it. After falling to the ground, the hedgehog gets up and accelerates into a ball, hitting the demon in the stomach and pushing him towards another wall. Mephiles, in an attempt to grab Sonic by the shoulders, did not expect that the hedgehog would bend back and knock the demon over himself onto the floor. Then the blue hedgehog began to get up and run away, but the demon grabbed him by the right leg and also threw him across the refrigerator. While the exhausted blue hedgehog lay, the demon rose to his feet and gloated: — The strong always take everything, but the weak get nothing. — he said and wanted to grab the hedgehog when he got to his feet, but he manages to bend over and, hitting the stomach with both legs, pushes the demon away from him towards the same wall. Sonic then rushes on top of Mephiles, wrapping his legs around his neck and punching him very quickly with all his might, right in the face. Any mortal person would have been hurt by such blows, but the demon didn’t care so much about it that he simply laughed in response to such blows. Even when the fists began to spark like lightning. While Sonic continued to hit Mephiles on the head with supersonic blows, he moved away from the wall, grabbed the hedgehog by the waist and threw him to the floor, and then threw him up, hitting the ceiling. — My God, what a weakling you are! — the demon continued to gloat, catching his breath. — Do you want to know what your weakness is, Sonic?... In high morality. She's suffocating you. Crazy Carl, armed with a shovel, tried to sneak behind the demon and hit him on the head to help the Blue Devil. However, Mephiles foresaw this. The old man just swung his hand and prepared to strike, when suddenly the demon raised his right hand and an icy, sharp spike flew out from under the floor, which knocked the shovel out of the old man’s hands. Then the demon turned sharply and extended his left hand. Another equally sharp thorn appeared on the side of Mephiles, which crashed straight into the heart of Mad Karl. The latter widened his eyes, exhaled heavily and slowly fell onto his back. Sonic just screamed at what he saw: — NO-O-O!!! — Yes! — the demon whispered and turned his gaze to the hedgehog. — This happens to everyone who naively believes in moral values and refuses to accept himself as he is. You tried to fix me, Sonic, and now I'll fix you. The demon summoned a bunch of ice spikes and aimed them at the hedgehog, preparing to kill him. At the last moment, Sonic managed to get the only ring left with him and threw it forward. The portal opened and the spikes flew through it into the open sea, where there was no one. Then the portal closed. — Naive fool, any good is always punished. When you finally realize this, you will thank me later. After that, purple smoke began to emanate from the demon, like the one with which it was covered the day before yesterday, when Sonic first saw him in this world. Then, in the form of a dark cloud, it knocks out the roof and flies away. The house itself is falling to pieces and all that remains is a pile of boards. Luckily, Sonic survived thanks to the lightning flashes from his rage. Breaking out of the pile of rubble, he searched the remaining rubble of the house for Mad Carl, but found only his corpse. Sighing heavily and trying to catch his breath, the hedgehog begins to get nervous and blame himself for the fact that he died. In part, he really died through his fault. He would have continued to live if he had not brought all those villains from other worlds to his home. — Here he is! He killed a man! — one of the soldiers shouted and they opened fire once. Fortunately, Sonic, thanks to his super speed, stopped time and the movement of bullets around him, and then ran away, without even stopping or bullying the soldiers. The bullets flew past and only hit trees. — Here you go! He ran away again! The soldiers ran up to the old man in the rubble of the house and examined him. — My God!... He is mortally wounded! Call an ambulance! Shadow himself watched from the shelter with a fearful face and changed the direction of his gaze in the direction where the blue hedgehog had fled. The moment immediately reminded him of the same one, when Maria died due to the fault of the soldiers, and he did not have time to do anything. Only this time, Mad Carl died at the hands of a demon, and Sonic did not have time to save him, while the soldiers, on the contrary, are trying to help Carl, but think that Sonic is responsible for his death. — Sonic! — ULF pronounces in a half-whisper. Sonic himself at this time was all in tears and blaming himself for the death of Karl, he ran far into the forest and took refuge there to be alone.
