      How did the rest of the heroes and villains fight and deal with each other? Tails was still dealing with Fiona, Knuckles was dealing with Zavok, and Sally and Tikal were dealing with Scourge. The fox attacks the fox and he pushes her, kicking her in the stomach. The fox was pushed back and her back crashed against a stone pillar. She began to lie down and pretend that she was crying. — How could you? I'm a weak woman! — Uh. Sorry! I... — Tails wanted to apologize and help her get up, when she suddenly stood up and wanted to grab his hands, hoping to throw him over herself against the wall. However, Tails suspected that she might be faking it and would attack him like that. His fears were confirmed and he managed to dodge, jumping back. He extended his right index finger and twirled it. — Look, how cunning! Do you think I'm stupid? — I’ll tear you to pieces, you little red furball. — she hissed through her teeth and ran, trying to grab Tails. He jumped to the side, grabbed Fiona by the shoulders, spun like a top, holding her and threw her to the edge of the oil rig. Fiona almost fell into the water and managed to grab the edge. The fox slowly and menacingly, looking at Fiona, approached the fox and stopped. She could barely hold on to the edge and was almost afraid of it. At first, Tails wanted to help her get up immediately, but before that he decided to stand aside for a while and not help her. The fox was already afraid of this fox and thought that he would lift one of his legs, crush her hands with it and throw her off. Although she herself had almost little strength to hold on. Tails looked at her menacingly and even showed his teeth in a smile. — No! Please! Don't ruin me! I don't know how to swim. You won't throw me off, will you? Please, smail Tails! Have mercy! I will never hurt you again! — Fiona begged for mercy. — I do not trust you! I am not a naive fool, and you are an incorrigible villain who is unworthy of living. — the fox answers and removes his leg. The left hand failed to hold on first and slipped, falling down from the edge of the platform. Fiona could barely hold on to her right hand and began to slowly slide down. — Please help me! I don't want to die. — Fiona almost cried. — Sorry, but you deserve it! If you really were good and didn’t offend me, then I wouldn’t do this to you. — Tails explained, grinning. Of course, he didn’t actually wish her death at all, but spoke to himself, meaning her Tails from her world, where she came from. — It's not my fault! I’m not like that, but my life was like that. It was so hard for me to live and I tried to survive as best I could. I didn’t trust anyone at all in my world. And when Scourge appeared from another... Another world into mine, he was the only one I could trust. — You could be good and return kindness to those who tried to help you. But since you are so bad, then let you also receive evil for all your atrocities. Now you will know what it was like for those people and that Tails with whom you also mock. — the fox explained. — No! Please! You won't do this! You're won't leaving me! Help me! — still begged for mercy. The fox's fingers could not stand it and she began to fall into the water, emitting a heart-rending cry. The fox even closes her eyes out of fear and begins to pray. Then Tails himself, having counted on his fingers the required amount of time until she was almost at the water, jumped down after her. He manages to grab it before contact with the water and flies back to the top. The fox continued to keep her eyes closed and was still afraid to open them, thinking that she had died, and the fox with two tails, holding her in his arms, climbed back onto the platform and carefully laid it on the floor. When Fiona opened her eyes, looked around and looked at Tails himself, she asks: — You?... You... Saved... Me?... — Fiona pointed to herself, and Tails nodded. — But... Why?... I'm... Bad!... — Yes, you are bad, but you can still improve if you want to. Then maybe when you go back, you won't die fighting your Sonic in your world. Besides, you were in trouble, and I couldn’t leave you. — Tails explained, stood up and stepped aside. Before running to help his comrades, he looked at Fiona and added: — Think about everything you are doing, Fiona. Don't be like that, it's not you! — Who else should I be? — Fiona asked. — Don't know. The main thing is to no longer be a bastard who thinks only about herself and no one else but herself. — Tails advised. — What should I do then? There is no turning back now. It's too late to fix it. I will never be able to improve. — the fox explained and became confused within herself about which side she should be on. — Never say never, Fiona. It's never too late for each of us to stop being a bastard! — with this answer the fox leaves the fox and runs to the aid of his friends.

      Zavok ran away in anger and wanted to flatten the echidna, hitting him with his shoulder and pressing him to the wall. Knuckles manages to jump over him and the red bull falls into a concrete mixer, which is immediately launched. The echidna accelerated the movement of the concrete mixer and Zavoka began to circle so quickly that his head began to spin. — Stotototototototototototop do-o-o-o-o-o-oi-i-i-i-i-i-i-ing tha-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-at! I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm a-a-a-a-a-a-a-abo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ou-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-ut tototototototototototototo gegegegegegegegegegegeget spu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-un! — almost stuttering, he asked to stop while he was spinning inside. When Knuckles turned off the cement mixer, it leaned down and poured out the cement inside with the bull itself. He stood up in rage and wanted to attack Knuckles, but the cement quickly froze and Zavok was stuck in place, frozen, like a statue. — HELP!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!! — ENOUGH, ZAVOK!!! — Knuckles hit the bull in the face and shouted: — STOP ACTING LIKE THIS, IT'S NOT YOU!!! — Who should I be then? Maybe you can advise? — Zavok asked. — I don't know. — the echidna answered honestly. — But the main thing is not to be a freak anymore, not to attack everyone, not to beat anyone to death, not to rob or destroy anything. — But I can’t help but do all this... — Zavok explained. — This is all part of my life. Even the meaning of my life. I can't give it all up. It's too late to give this up, Knuckles. There is no way you can fix me, no matter how hard you try to fix me. — You’re wrong, Zavok. I was also a freak just like you. If only you knew what kind of trouble I messed up in the past! Without even knowing it, I helped another freak like him and, through my fault, he almost took over the whole world. — Knuckles explained. — What kind of freak? — the bull didn’t understand. — He's talking about me! — Eggman intervened in the conversation. Of course not them, but from another world. Knuckles and Zavok turned their attention to him. He smiled and said: — But I’ll tell you one thing. I wasn't always a freak. I, too, can sometimes stop being one and help my friends. But you will probably never understand this, since you love ugly things so much. You never had your own friends. — And here I have friends! — Zavok denied. — YeAH? And who are they? Have they done anything good for you? What about you for them? — the echidna looked slyly at the bull, and he fell silent, his eyes bulging, not even knowing how to answer this question. — That’s it! Unlike us, you don’t have friends who would love you for who you are and accept you as such. That's why you continue to act like a freak. For me, this behavior almost hurt me because I almost lost the new world, which had become a home for me, and also almost lost my future brothers. With these words, Knuckles steps aside, along with Eggman, and Zavok remains in the same place, in the frozen cement, and begins to think. Knuckles escorted that Eggman to Sonic Two, who at that moment finished hugging Shadow. Sonic two turned around and saw the doctor himself: — Eggman? — Sonic? — Eggman also asked him, not recognizing him at first. However, his voice and the appearance of his needle-shaped eyes remained the same, despite the fact that he had matured a little. The doctor smiled, as he was glad to see him. — Glad to meet you, my boy! — I’m so glad, Eggman! — Sonic two said so that he almost cried. It was as if he had met not the sworn enemy with whom he had been fighting for a long time, but an old and good friend. — You have become quite an adult! How are you doing? Sonic two was distracted somewhere to the side for a couple of seconds, not knowing what to answer and said: — As usual, I fight with you and save the world.

      That leaves only Sally and Tikal against Scourge. It's getting worse with them. The green hedgehog, despite the huge difference in superiority and strength, was able to defeat both girls, grabbed them by the throats, with each hand, pressed them to the wall and lifted them above the floor, so that their legs began to dangle. At the same time, Sally and Tikal grabbed Scourge's hands and tried to free themselves, but he held them tightly. There was almost no oxygen left to breathe. — You’re trying in vain, you damn feminists. You still can't defeat me! Your gender is weak by merit and your place is only in the kitchen. When will you finally come to terms with the fact that we men are always cooler, stronger and smarter than all of you. Yes, you would be helpless without us, not to mention you wouldn’t be able to give birth to children. Being or wanting to be a strong and independent woman causes only one negative thing for everyone. Even other women who are well aware of this, unlike you, are pathetic nonentities. — while Scourge was chatting, he not only didn’t notice, he didn’t even feel that someone snuck up behind him and hit him very hard on the head with an iron stick. Having received a blow and a concussion, the hedgehog loosens its grip, releasing Sally together Tikal and falls. The one who hit Scourge behind his back was princess Elice herself, who looked menacingly at the green hedgehog. — Next time, you impudent one, you will respect women! — she said, holding the iron stick in her hands like a pole. She looked up at the chipmunk with the malicious witch and asked them: — How are you? — Thanks for the help. — Sally thanked her, holding her throat and catching her breath. — Who are you? — O! Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. — the princess threw the stick aside. — Princess Elice the Third. Daughter of King Duke of Solean. Elice extends her hand and Sally shakes her hand cordially, also introducing herself: — I'm a princess too. Name is Sally Acorn, but to me friends I just goes by Sally. — Nice to meet you. — Wait! How did you get here? — Tikal asked. — They helped me! — Elice pointed to Omega and Metal, who stood aside, did not interfere and waved their iron hands welcomingly. At that moment, Scourge came to his senses and grabbed his head, rubbing the bruised back of his head. Before he could stand up, Sally and Tikal grabbed his arm from both sides. — Let me go! I still won’t give up on you so easily! Elice, Metal and Omega walked around Scourge to stand in front of his face. — Why are you doing all this? — Elice asked the green hedgehog himself. He looked at her questioningly. — It's not you! — You don’t know anything about me! I'm Sonic's evil doppelgänger. I'm from the Anti-Mobius universe. I and all my inhabitants in that universe have always been like this and I do not need correction. — Scourge explained. — And no one cares about it. You are in another universe, where everything is the opposite, unlike your world. — Omega explained. — And don’t forget! If you remain bad and return to your world, then you may immediately die at the hands of your Sonic. Is this really what you want? — Metal added. — I wouldn’t want to go back to being as bad and trying to kill Sonic as I was before. Because I want to live and live my life with dignity. — Metal is right. Even I was fixated on killing Eggman at first. However, the Sonic of this world, in trying to correct each and every one of us, also helped me myself to understand that you can’t be too focused on your main goal. And it matters who you think you are. And no one can stand in your way, only you. — Omega pointed an iron finger at Scourge's chest. — Who do you think I should be? — Good, of course. Help people, do good and return only good for good to everyone. It's good when you do something good, but if you do something bad, it's terrible. — Elice explained. — It's already late! You can't fix me. I have always been like this and will always remain like this. It’s just more pleasant for me to do evil than your good that no one needs, and I absolutely don’t care about your opinion. — So you leave us no other choice! — Metal made it look like he was trying to breathe heavily out of despair. — Ladies! — He asked in one word to let Scourge go and abruptly with his feet, threw the green hedgehog towards the boiler room. Then he quickly flew up to him and began to beat him very quickly and brutally. Scourge screamed heart-rendingly in pain, and Metal kept hitting him and hitting him at the speed of a bullet. He hit me in the face, kicked me between my legs, it was almost too painful. Having almost beaten the hedgehog to death, he was covered in bruises and fell to the floor. Exhausted, he tried to get up and almost groaned in pain. Metal leaned over: — Scourge, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it right away. However, I won't do that. I want you to finally understand what it’s like when you hurt someone with your evil. You can still stand your ground, but then I’ll have to completely rip your head off your body. Do you want it? Want? Of course, Scourge wanted to live more than anything, and the fact that he himself was almost beaten to death was enough for him. He lies down on his side and, catching his breath, says through groans: — I give up! Metal gets up and steps aside. Alice stands in his place and says: — I know that you have always been bad. But if you give free rein to the other you, you will be able to show a different, better side of yourself. Then you will not only live longer, but I also guarantee you that good will be much more pleasant than evil. And it won’t hurt the same way you felt now. She also gets up and leaves, leaving Scourge lying on the floor next to the boiler room. Sonics, Sally, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Tikal, Eggman, Omega, Metal, Silver, Terios, Shadow, Infinite and Alice stood in a circle, greeting each other together. — Wait! — Sonic alone widened his eyes. — Where are Mephiles and Iblis? — You don’t have to be afraid for Iblis. It's hidden behind the barrels over there! — Shadow answered, pointing to a pile of barrels, behind which a glass ball was hidden, along with Iblis inside. — WHAT??? — Sonic-one shouted and suddenly the voice of Mephilas himself was heard: — Sonic, come out play!
