— Sonic, come out play! — Mephiles' voice was heard. A dark cloud appeared in the sky, from which Mephiles himself flew out, along with a bunch of ice fragments that flew straight to the oil station. A few fragments only hit the walls, floors, columns and barrels. Only three fragments flew straight towards Sonic from this world and were about to hit him. The hedgehog did not have time to figure out how to dodge or run away and it seemed that they were hurting him. Suddenly, ahead of Sonic, the fox Fiona ran out and exposed herself to the blows of the fragments. The fox widens its eyes, sighs heavily and slowly falls to the floor. The crystal hedgehog flies into the dance itself, knocks out a couple of barrels, takes a glass ball with Iblis inside and is about to fly away, when suddenly Silver grabs it in his psychokinesis, trying to hold it, and the ball with Iblis, having escaped from the hands of Mephiles, jumps up and falls down. — GRAB HIM!!! DON'T LET HIM GET FREE!!! — Sonic shouts alone. Sonic two and Sonic three run and grab the ball itself. Unable to resist, Sonic Three accidentally trips over a drill lying on the floor. — AH!!! WHAT FOOL PUT HER HERE??? — he shouted, falling to the floor. Sonic two alone tried to hold the ball with Iblis and was about to drop it, when suddenly Scourge himself appeared next to Sonic two and caught the ball, preventing it from breaking. At least the green hedgehog tried to do something good for them. Scourge even smiled at Sonic Two, to which he smiled back. At this time, Sonic alone picked up Fiona and removed a pair of Mephiles' spikes from her. She screamed in pain a couple of times when the hedgehog took out the thorns from her. — Sorry! — Nothing! I was in much more pain! At least I proved that I'm not a bastard at all and can think about others, and not just myself. — the fox explained, smiling and looking at Sonic himself, as if she was about to die heroically in his arms. Tikal runs up to them. — But no! You won't die! Sonic, put it down! — the witch asked, which is what the hedgehog did. When he placed the fox on the floor, Tikal placed both palms on Fiona's chest. The palms immediately began to shine. — In the name of the spirits of air and light, I conjure you, mortal wounds, be healed! The wounds from the thorns immediately healed and Fiona, her eyes bulging, began to catch her breath. — You lost, Mephiles! Give up! Silver said, still holding the demon in psychokinesis. — It’s too early to rejoice, naive! — he answered him. It turned out that he had still managed to unnoticedly plant explosives with dynamite in the same place when he suddenly flew into the oil station. The blast wave pushed Silver away. He fell and could no longer hold the demon. He, in turn, summoned several of his doubles as an army. — Not today, Mephiles! — said Shadow, removing the rings from his hands that held back his true power, thanks to which he turned red all over. — Everyone get down on the ground! CHAOS BLAST!!! — NO, SHADOW, STOP!!! — Knuckles tried to stop him, but the blast wave came from the perfect life form and scattered everyone, including Zavok, freeing him from cement captivity, the Mephiles clones, forcing them to correct themselves, the original Mephiles and even the ball with Iblis from the hands of Sonic two with Scourge. The ball flew up and crashed into the floor, breaking. Iblis was free, roaring at the top of his lungs and soaring into the air. — Finally! — said the demon and flew straight towards Iblis to reunite with him. Everyone got to their feet and tried to stop Mephiles. Even Alice ran first towards Iblis. She hoped to reintroduce him into her own body, so that Mephiles would not take possession of him. When she jumped on the deity and grabbed her in her embrace, at first Iblis possessed the princess for a while, but after a couple of seconds, he refused to accept her bodily shell and again left her body of his own free will. — NO!!! — she shouted, extending her hand towards the deity, when suddenly Silver himself captured him in psychokinesis. — No way! I have already lost my future because of Iblis in my world and this time I will not allow him to destroy this world as well. Suddenly, Iblis began to change in shape and size, turning into a huge monster, similar to a stone golem. It turned out to be so heavy that Silver could not hold it and accidentally released it. Iblis landed with his big feet on the floor and broke a hole under him, falling into the water. Mephiles ran towards that very hole, throwing out waves of his arms at everyone who stood in his way and tried to stop him. — IBLIS IS MY-Y-Y!!! — the demon shouted and just tried to jump when Amy ran at him and with one blow of her hammer threw him back. The crystal hedgehog landed on his knees and continued to walk forward. Amy ran towards the demon with a scream and tried to hit him again, but the demon dodged, grabbed the hedgehog by the throat and threw it to the side. Zavok ran towards Mephiles from the side and tried to hit him from the shoulder, but Mephiles ducked down and, swinging his right leg, threw him into Scourge and Fiona, who were also trying to attack him. Sonic two and Sonic three stood sharply in the way of Mephiles, but he grabbed Sonic two by the neck and pressed him to the floor, pinning Sonic three with it, and then hit Sonic two with his live right leg, pinning him to the floor. Eggman and Omega ran out of the shelter, took out their laser cannons and began to shoot at the demon, but he protected himself with a purple protective field from bullets and sharply waved his left hand, summoning a windy wave that threw these two away. Metal Sonic flew out from the other side, trying to grab the demon, but the latter dodged and hit him on the head, pinning him to the floor. Even God himself would envy the power and strength of Mephiles, for they were no longer immune to such rage. Even Tails, Knuckles, Sonic Alone and Infinite, who attacked him simultaneously from four sides, could not stop him, and he easily scattered them too. Silver, having forgotten about psychokinesis, tried to run at the demon and hit him in the face with his fist, but Mephiles grabbed his fist with his left palm and squeezed it tightly, breaking the bones of his hand and slowly lowering him to the floor. The last ones to try to resist him were Sally and Alice. The chipmunk tried to attack from below and grab him by the left leg, and Alice attacked the demon from behind, grabbing him by the neck. The demon pulled his hands back, grabbed the princess by the shoulders and threw her over himself, throwing her down on the chipmunk. — Eh. If you hadn't deprived me of my strength, I could have easily dealt with him! — Infinite said through groans, trying to get to his feet and also tried to attack the demon from behind. The same one, without looking, turned around, kicked the jackal in the face while turning, and he was thrown towards the barrels. Even Shadow and Terios could not stop the demon, as he easily, stretching out his arms to the sides, grabbed them by the necks and cracked their foreheads against each other. Having almost reached the pit, Iblis himself flies out of it in the guise of a bird similar to a phoenix. — Finally! — Mephiles says, closes his eyes and stretches his arms to the sides, preparing to unite with Iblis again. The latter looks at Mephiles and prepares to inhabit his body. Suddenly, Sonic alone is covered in blue lightning and raises his evil gaze at both entities. — You will not get it! — he hissed through his teeth and abruptly, like a bullet, ran at Mephiles, grabbing him from behind and pushing him down into the same pit. Iblis flew past and did not have time to inhabit Mephiles. — NO!!! — the demon screams. Sonic is alone and Mephiles falls into the water. Amy Rose dives into the water again to save Sonic alone for the second time. Iblis also intended to fly at them, when he suddenly received a laser bullet in the back. The deity turned around and saw how the mustachioed fat man himself fired at him from his blaster with his last strength and then lost consciousness. Angry, Iblis decides to stay on the oil rig and kill everyone. Shadow and Reflection, having managed to come to their senses, both nod to each other, hold hands and simultaneously shout: — CHAOS BLAST!!! The explosion from both perfect forms was so strong that it not only slightly injured Iblis, but also destroyed the oil station itself. The columns began to break and the entire oil rig with a bunch of scrap metal fell into the water. Fortunately, Chaos himself came to the rescue and held a pile of garbage above the water with the remains of iron platforms so that no one would go to the bottom and drown. Rose surfaces and drags Sonic Three with her, landing on an iron platform on the water, which to her surprise did not sink. Sonic immediately cleared his throat, spat out the water he had swallowed, and tried to get to his feet. — Are you okay? — asked the hedgehog. — Yes. — Sonic answers alone and hugs Amy, which she did not expect. — Thank you for saving my life twice this night. — My pleasure! — Rose replies and also hugs him back. Suddenly she notices Mephiles himself bursting out of the water and sharply extending his right hand. — LOOK OUT!!! — she shouted and threw Sonic aside. At that moment, Mephiles shoots an ice shard and hits Amy right in the heart. She bulges her eyes and, with her last breath, very slowly falls to the floor. — NO!!! — Sonic shouts, extending his hand in her direction. Mephiles lands on the platform and slowly approaches Sonic, deciding to mock him: — Poor Sonic! Completely alone! Neither mom! No dad! You didn't even have the character to send me to my death right away. But you still had the character to send her to death. She's here because of you. Yes, I hurt her in the heart, but in fact... I killed her... You-s-s. Sonic alone immediately looks angrily at the demon, slowly gets to his feet and is again covered in lightning. The demon continued to provoke him: — Do you want to kill me yourself right now? Come on! Show me what you are capable of? — Now I will tear you to pieces, once and for all, Mephiles. Sonic alone and Mephiles both get into fighting stances and prepare to fight. Mephiles is the first to attack and tries to hit Sonic, but he dodges and when the demon turns, the hedgehog hits the demon in the face, knocking him to the floor. Sonic jumps up and, filled with lightning in rage, tries to hit him in the face from above, but Mephiles manages to roll to the side like a log and Sonic only moves across the floor, leaving a dent from his fist. Mephiles pulls out very long and sharp claws from his fingers and tries to stab Sonic, but the latter rolls, dodges and hits the demon with his right foot in the ribs. In addition, he also gave him an electric shock from his lightning bolts. The demon tries to hit him again, but Sonic deftly dodges and hits back. Even when Mephiles finally struck and left scratches on his abs, Sonic did not care about these wounds and continued to fight in anger even more, as if he had not received any serious damage at all. Sonic even managed to grab Mephiles by his spiky shoulders and hit him in the stomach with his right knee and his left knee in the face while jumping. Spinning in place, the demon tried to cut off the hedgehog's legs, but he jumped over him, grabbed him by the back in a jump and threw him over himself. The others who lay unconscious, including Iblis himself, came to their senses. They saw that somewhere on a small piece of an iron platform, Sonic alone was beating Mephiles with lightning and fists, but he could not deliver his blow to him. Iblis immediately began to fly to Mephiles to reunite with him and help him. Suddenly, Infinite pounces on Iblis, grabbing him in a hug and Iblis temporarily inhabits the body of the jackal. Suddenly, memories of how experiments were carried out over his fire flashed before Infinite’s eyes. It was then that Iblis and Mephiles were awakened. People with their experiences and thirst for knowledge were to blame for everything, who tried to study the power of Solaris. Iblis himself read Infinite’s thoughts, recognizing in him regrets about what they did to Solaris, and also learned that the jackal himself used to be bad, but now he has corrected himself and wants to become good again. Iblis immediately realized that people, Mobians and other creatures, can change their goals and characters, which means there is no point in killing them all. Especially, he was fully convinced of this when the same Scourge ran up to him and helped him get to his feet. — How are you? — asked the green hedgehog. — I'm fine. I just feel a little strange. — the jackal explained. — I am so sorry! — Whom do you feel sorry for? What are you talking about? — Fiona asked him. — About Iblis, who is now inside me. — Infinite explained. Then an idea came to his mind, which was conveyed to him by Iblis himself within him. — I have a plan, but we need to get to Mephiles before Sonic kills him. — For what? — Scourge didn’t understand. — Iblis and Mephiles need to unite. — ARE YOU FOOL??? — Fiona screamed. — HE WILL BECOME SOLARIS AND DESTROY THE ENTIRE MULTIVERSE, AND WITH IT ALL OF US!!! — I know it's crazy, but you have to believe me at least once. Prove that you have really changed and are ready for good? At least believe me. — the jackal explained, although he himself was not entirely sure whether to trust Iblis, who conveyed that idea to him. However, there is no time to hesitate and not trust. It was necessary to act. — Why should we believe you? What if you’re saying this on purpose because you’ve remained bad? — Zavok asked, also joining them. Iblis immediately in Infinite’s head asked him to extend his right hand forward. — Take my hand! You will see everything for yourself. — answered the jackal. Then the green hedgehog, the fox and the bull took his hand. Iblis at that moment switched over to each of them and also read their thoughts, and then conveyed to them the same idea that he had previously conveyed to Infinite. — Okay, we believe you. — Fiona answers. And Sonic is alone at this time, still beating Mephiles to death and almost finishing him off, lifting him above him and beating him in the face. The jackal himself flies up to them with the help of the power of Iblis and shouts: — MEPHILES, DO YOU NEED IBLIS??? SO TAKE HIM!!! — Having shouted this, he closed his eyes and Iblis left his body. — YES!!! — Mephiles shouted and pushed Sonic to the side and jumped. — NO, INFINITE!!! — Sonic shouted. Mephiles comes into contact with Iblis and they unite into one whole being. Now it was a large Solaris creature with two minds in one body. United with the mind of Mephiles, the mind of Iblis tried to convince the first mind that it was impossible to destroy the multiverse and all its inhabitants. They can change for the better and improve. However, Mephiles's mind remained adamant and firmly stood its ground. Preparing to fly into the sky, something suddenly grabs him with lightning, holds him back and electrocutes him. Sonic himself shot at Soryalis from both hands, with large chains of lightning and, as if wrapped in a whip, pulling the giant towards himself. Having jumped onto Solaris, he began to hit him in the face even faster and harder, mixed with electric shock. Solaris slowly began to lose consciousness and it seemed that he himself would die from a brutal beating. Mephiles's mind almost cursed Iblis's mind for his naivety, and the latter even wondered if he had made a mistake and Sonic would kill them both? Picking up a large, heavy and sharp crowbar from the floor, Sonic alone jumps and prepares to plunge its sharp edge into the monster's head, killing it. But suddenly Shadow stands in Sonic’s way, grabs him by the same crowbar and, holding him, does not allow him to kill Solaris. Hissing through his teeth, Sonic alone tried to plunge the crowbar into Solaris, and Shadow did not allow him to do so. At the same time, the black-scarlet looked at Sonic with a fearful gaze, silently begging him not to do this. While Sonic and Shadow were distracted by each other, Solaris raised his right hand and hoped to crush these hedgehogs, when suddenly Silver himself grabbed his hand with psychokinesis and held it. — Shadow saved your life... And this is your gratitude to him? — asked the psychokineticist. Here the mind of Iblis again began to tell the mind of Mephiles to stop rowdying and stand his ground. Mephiles did not stop standing his ground. Then Solaris tried to raise his other hand, but Omega and Metal flew up and grabbed it and began to hold it. Sonic two carried Elice in his arms to Solaris, and she ran up to him and began to look the monster in his eyes with sorrow. Suddenly, Iblis himself decided to disconnect from Mephiles and they were separated again. At the same time, Iblis moved Mephiles himself into the body of Elice instead of himself. The princess, in her mind, showed the demon all her memories, her whole life, empathy, and even how sad she was when Sonic of this world lost that old man, that she cried for the first time, fortunately Iblis was no longer inside her. Even the way her father died. Then Alice abruptly released Mephiles from her body and Infinite himself abruptly picked him up, also moving him into himself. Having kept the demon inside his mind for some time, the jackal then spits it out himself. Mephiles had already lost the ability of Iblis to move in the bodies of people, and Iblis so far stood on the sidelines and only watched. Sonic three and Sally come running along with a device for Mephiles. Sally runs up to the demon, aims the device at him and prepares to activate it, when suddenly Sonic alone stops her, at the request of Alice and Infinite with a silent look. — Wait! Don't do it yet! Suddenly Mephiles began to cry, knelt down, looked with shame at the changed villains and said: — I'm Sorry! I'm really sorry! I didn't know that there are those who can change... And for the better.
