      The last fragment of the tablet in this world was located somewhere in the base of Eggman himself, where Sonic the werewolf went. At least he was sure that the fragment was the last. The base itself, judging by the new vision given to Sonic by the Guardian, was located somewhere here. With the help of super jumping to incredible heights and stretching his arms, with which he grabbed the branches of some tall trees and rocks, he almost made it there. Although he was sure that if he had been in his previous form, and not in the guise of a werewolf, he would have gotten there much faster at supersonic speed. Suddenly he saw one of Eggman's badniks in the form of a mosquito flying in the sky and he was clearly returning to base. Reaching out with his right hand and grabbing the robot mosquito with it, he is drawn towards it, grabs it with both hands and holds on to it. Badnik didn’t even notice or feel Sonic under him, didn’t even try to throw him off, but flew on, returning to the base. The werewolf held on to him and waited for him to lead him to where he needed to go. They flew and flew, and the werewolf himself was thinking all the way: — "Great. Just great. I thought of dropping into Eggman’s base in this form and personally asking him for help. From my sworn enemy... And this is what I found.” — Having finished thinking, he noticed that he had almost arrived at the base. However, she was almost crushed, as if someone had already attacked her before him. The werewolf jumped, letting go of the flying badnik and landing on one of the gray roofs made of gray metal, where there was a hole with a path inside. Looking at the hole inside itself, before jumping in, he thinks: — “Something terrible happened. Or maybe Eggman has terrible taste in the design of his bases lately." He jumps inside and lands on the iron floor. He gets to his feet and walks down the corridor, looking carefully around him along the way with suspicion. He suspected in advance that something terrible and dangerous was happening. While he was walking, he suspected in advance and even felt the danger that he was heading straight towards. On the way, he noticed a certain purple haze that came from the wall, leaving a crack in it. Past her, a piece of translucent purple tentacle was lying on the floor. The werewolf, looking at this, was now completely convinced of this and at one time thought in his head with a hint of fear: — "Oh no! No no no. I already saw this once... This purple haze... These tentacles... This dark energy... Even now I feel it more and more strongly... It was because of it that I once became like this. .. And only at night...” — thinking about this, he looked around the corridor and saw a bunch more of the same darkness, as well as cut off fingers, and on the floor nearby lay the destroyed badnik mantis, inside of which the flick bird was still lying, which seemed I was too exhausted to fly away. Sonic, standing on alert and putting on a serious face, already knew in advance who he would meet. — “Only one being is capable of all this. Only one thing..." And suddenly, at that very moment, he heard a loud roar of the monster as a sign of confirmation. At that very second, he already pronounced the name of that creature out loud: — Dark Gaia! He even felt it from a very long distance and even sniffed it with his nose. The werewolf walks forward and looks around suspiciously. There was a purple haze everywhere because of the walls instead of blood, and only sirens and an alarm sounded on the loudspeakers. Still, a real catastrophe happened here, which both frightened and angered the hedgehog beast. Suddenly a woman's voice spoke through the loudspeaker: — Sample X-91 escaped from the cell. All Eggman robots urgently report to the prison floor! “In the entire history of bad premonitions, I have never had anything like this.” — the werewolf said roughly to himself and at the same time he heard terrible roars. — That's what I suspected. Sonic walked through a long corridor and came out into a large hall, where there were a bunch of destroyed robots and each one even sparkled. Among them, Metal, Boco and Deco were also destroyed. Although the four of them were not to blame for anything. — Chaos! Well, scrap metal! Horror! — he said to himself, looking at all this horror and jumped down to them, after which monsters similar to iguanas appeared from under the floor. They started growling and attacked Sonic. The furious werewolf became angry at the iguana-like creatures and began to beat each of them with his fists. When he was surrounded, Sonic stretched his hands forward and, clenching them into fists, sharply spun around in place in order to knock out in the face with one blow those who attacked him simultaneously and from all sides. Having knocked them all to the floor, they immediately disappeared as if they were not there. Then the wolf hedgehog heard the cry of his old acquaintance sworn enemy: — LEAVE ME ALONE!!! HELP!!! The plump, mustachioed doctor ran into one room and closed the iron doors behind him. More monsters came running after him and began to break down the door with their fists. — HOLD ON, DOCTOR!!! — Sonic shouted and ran to help. He grabbed one of the monsters by the shoulders from the back and, lifting it up, hit another on the head and threw it at the third. He then grabbed two more by the backs of their heads and smashed their foreheads together. The three were distracted by him, turned around and ran to attack, and Sonic spun in place and at the same time hit them in the faces. One of those who woke up, whom Sonic had knocked out before, attacked the hedgehog from behind and grabbed him. The werewolf gained more rage when a whole crowd surrounded him and attacked him, he suddenly stood up and raised his hands, roaring into the sky, scattering all the monsters on both sides against the walls. Grabbing the last one in front of the door, Sonic threw him over himself and punched him in the stomach five times. The monsters were defeated and Sonic, taking a breath, tried to calm down. Eggman, not wanting to feel his anger, opened the doors for him, allowing him to enter. When Sonic entered the doctor's room, Eggman stood in front of the next door, and the werewolf hedgehog began to speak in a rough voice: — Would you like to explain to me what is happening here? — Dark Gaia! — the mustachioed man explained fearfully and briefly. — Yeah! Now everything is clear! — Dark Gaia! - that huge monster, contained sample X-91, personal identifier. He ran away while I was investigating him. I managed to hide from him, but the monsters he recreated destroyed all my robots and my egg planes. Now I can't escape from here. Some of the robots he destroyed... Came to life... Like zombies. — This is impossible! He had never been able to wield such power before. And how could he end up here on Mobius if the last time you awakened him was on another planet? Didn't Chip and I beat him back then? — I know. But when the planet was restored, a little dark energy remained from it, which I managed to collect. With her help, I managed to create his clone here. — Now everything is clear! I hope it's not because of the magic shard that appeared here? If you know what I mean? — Yes. I also found him here at the base. I don't even know where he came from. But he emitted some kind of energy that was more powerful and better than the energy from the Chaos Emeralds. — Where is he? — I decided to conduct a couple of experiments on this fragment and even crossed its energy with the energy of Dark Gaia. It was thanks to that very fragment that his clone was recreated from the energy of Dark Gaia. So I created him, and he began to rampage and take over my base. — You idiot fat walrus! — Sonic snapped at Eggman. — It was a dangerous test! When I crossed the two energies together, the instrument readings went so high that they almost broke. This was even cooler than the resurrection of a cousin in the guise of a hedgehog with the help of the master emerald. Sonic frowned and sighed heavily. — Just. Open. Up. Door... — he said menacingly, pointing his finger at the very door next to which Eggman stood. The doctor did not argue with the werewolf and opened the door for him. Before Sonic went any further, Eggman addressed him: — Wait!...Are you going to him? Do you want to get his energy? For what? — Because it’s bad to mock nature and try to master its power, Eggman. But you will never understand this yourself. — With these words he moves on. Eggman closed the doors behind him and Sonic moved on. When suddenly I saw the same Dark Guy who absorbed Bokkun’s energy, depriving him of his head. With its mouth, the monster sucked out electricity with lightning and absorbed it. — HEY, YOU!!! — Sonic shouted at Gaia and the latter turned to the hedgehog with a roar. Suddenly another door opened and a three-dimensional robot with a flamethrower came out of it, approached Gaia and spoke in a scary metallic voice: — I see a carrier of dark matter. Destroy! The robot took out flamethrowers and fired a bunch of fire at Dark Gaia. The monster was frightened by the fire and, throwing away Bokkun’s corpse, retreated, hiding in the sewer. — "Wow! Are we really the same thing as Eggman’s robots?” — flashed through the werewolf’s head, but he rejoiced early. The robot paid attention to him and said the same thing: — I see a carrier of dark matter. Destroy! The robot approached Sonic and opened fire on him. Fortunately, the werewolf who was unexpectedly surprised managed to jump over him and cursed the Guardian himself in his thoughts: — “Damn you, Watchguardian! Why the hell did you make me a werewolf? Now, because of you, this robot wants to kill me too, because I have part of the energy of Dark Gaia and he thinks that I am one of his monsters! I swear, if you hear me, and if I suddenly survive, and then you are saved, then I will kill you myself! Can you hear me! I’ll kill you!” — “Stop whining already!” — Waatchguardian was angry in Sonic's head while he fought with that robot and broke it into pieces. — “I made you like this so that it would be easier for everyone to distinguish you from another Sonic from another universe. I did this on purpose because the script told me to. There’s no way you can go against the plot invented by the fans!” — What scenario? What plot? What kind of fans? What nonsense are you talking about? I will definitely kill you! — the werewolf said angrily out loud in an angry voice. Watchguardian sighed heavily in Sonic's head and said: — "Fine! Fine! Enough! Agreed. I promise you that when all this is over, I will return you to your previous appearance and you will never be a werewolf again!” — I will kill you if you don't keep your promise! - Sonic threatened the Watchguardian out loud and moved on.

A little bit later

      Dark Gaia crawled back into his cell and planted his feet there, as if he had planted roots in the ground. He slowly stood up to regenerate and restore himself and roared very loudly into the sky. His scream was so loud that it could be heard very clearly throughout and around Eggman's base. Even Sonic himself, in the guise of a werewolf, who managed to get out of the base and killed on the way another huge army of zombified Dark Gaia robots and huge robots with flamethrowers, who fought with each other and got in his way, slowly stood with his arms outstretched to the sides for maintain balance, walk over the crane pile onto the pit, as if on a tightrope, and say out loud: — I will stop you at any cost, Dark Gaia! Even at the cost of his life. Moving to the next island, the werewolf encountered more robots with flamethrowers, which were already firing back at the usual Dark Gaia monsters, which looked like huge lizards. He decided to ignore them, since they did not pay attention to him and did not interfere. Then Sonic ran inside the next building of the base, and inside there was a hangar with destroyed aircraft. There, flamethrowers again stood on the way, infected with zombie robots and ordinary monsters. They had already turned their attention to Sonic and the werewolf had to fight in rage against a whole crowd. He killed and destroyed them all with his bare hands in a rage, and then looked around and saw a stone sticking out of the ceiling. Then it was destroyed and three more monsters fell through holes in the ceiling, who, noticing Sonic, growled at him. — So. There is good news — I think I figured out how to get out. He grabbed the first one with his outstretched hand and threw him against sharp thorns, he jumped on the second one and bit off his head, and then spat it out. The third grabbed him from the back, and the werewolf grabbed the monster by the shoulders and threw him over himself to the floor, after which he crushed his face with his right chic sole on his sneakers, raising his right foot and stepping on the monster’s face. Having dealt with them, the werewolf extended his hands to the hole in the ceiling and reached up, after which he found himself in the ventilation. Having passed through a ventilation system that was a little tight for his current size and afraid of getting stuck in it, Sonic overcame the ventilation system and ended up in one of the laboratories, where he was attacked by two zombie robots. Sonic tore off the head of one of them, and grabbed the other by the leg and hit him several times on the floor, throwing him here and there. Then he breaks the iron doors, knocking them off his feet and says in a terrible voice: — Here-e’s So-oni-ic! On the way there were cages and chambers where other Gaia monsters were kept and they had already broken out. Seeing the werewolf, they growled and ran into battle. Sonic, in a rage, also scattered them all in a fight with a scream and ran on. Finding himself on the street again, he was on the roof and saw that helicopters and military planes were flying here. — "Here you go! They have finally arrived!” — thought the hedgehog, realizing that these were G.U.N. soldiers. Suddenly, one of the planes was attacked by flying Gaia monsters and it exploded and flew down, straight towards Sonic. The werewolf frowned at what he saw. - Oh no! Getting down on all fours, Sonic ran as best he could, because due to his werewolf form, he could no longer run at the speed of light. During the accident, the fireball from the aircraft was flying behind it and was about to fall and crash. The burning ship is already very close, but Sonic manages to run to the large antenna, climbs onto it and, once at the very top, jumps over the burning ship and remains alive. Looking around, he saw a bio-dome where the rest of the planes and helicopters were flying. Without hesitation, Sonic jumped onto the roof of the bio-dome. — "So. What do we have here? — he thought, finding the only passage from above. — "OU. It's better not to catch their eye! Be careful...” — he poked his head in lightly and saw inside a large hall with a huge cocoon made from the roots of Dark Gaia, with himself inside. Around him were eight exactly the same robots with flamethrowers, which were currently burning monsters and zombie robots who were trying to protect their god from enemies. — “Okay, now I’ll guess... Probably you need to break the giant egg in the center of the room.” — Sonic! Sonic! If you're listening, it's Agent Rouge from G.U.N.! — the werewolf heard a familiar female voice through the loudspeaker: — We sent new workers here, armed with flamethrowers. — Now they consider you their ally. The werewolf grinned at what he heard: — Oh, wow! I now have my own robot assistants! I'll call this one Lee. — If you can hear me, help our robots. Try to contain all these monsters while they burn Dark Gaia! — Rouge says through the loudspeaker. — I understand. I'm coming to help! — says the werewolf and goes downstairs. These robots really considered Sonic their ally and did not attack him, despite the fact that he also had the energy of Dark Gaia. — I see Sonic the werehog. Don't engage in battle! — says each robot, seeing a hedgehog who began to fight monsters and protect them. The robots turned around and began to pour fire on the huge cocoon. — Destroy! Destroy! Sonic at this time fought off zombie robots and Gaia monsters, protecting robots with flamethrowers. He hit each enemy in the face, grabbed them by the necks and threw them at other enemies, crushed them with his fists from above, squashed them into pancakes upon impact, trampled them with spiked sneakers, cut them with his claws and even tore them to pieces. While Sonic easily fought monsters and zombie robots, flamethrower robots burned the entire huge cocoon of Gaia to the ground. Gaia's scream was heard from the cocoon and the cocoon was torn into pieces by the fire. - The cocoon is destroyed, Sonic! Rouge says through the loudspeaker. — “Perhaps this is my chance!” — he thought and shouted: — ROUGE, CAN YOU ORDER THE ROBOTS SO THAT THEY CONTINUE TO FIGHT THE MONSTERS??? I WANT TO DEAL WITH DARK GAIA MYSELF!!! — Understood! — Rouge answers. The flamethrowers themselves continued to fight off the rest of the monsters and zombies, and Sonic jumped high with his fists raised and, grabbing Gaius' head, began hitting him in the head and eyes. It hits one eye, the second, third, fourth, fifth and the rest. Dark Gaia did not have time to find his bearings and was unable to throw the werewolf off his face. The huge monster just slowly raises his hands. He could not move from his place, since he was rooted to the floor with the roots of his legs. Then Sonic, like a cockroach, crawled back along his neck and, wrapping his arms around his neck, pulled it towards himself and down with all his might. He pulled and pulled, his neck began to crack and the monster screamed even louder in pain. In the end, Sonic tore off Gaia's head and she fell into the corner. The giant's body fell to the floor like a stemless flower, and all the monsters disappeared. The zombie robots switched off again and fell to the floor one by one, one by one. — All forms of Dark Gaia have been destroyed! Mission accomplished! — says one of the flamethrowers. Sonic at this time slowly and threateningly approached the severed head of Gaius, who at that time was burning a little and screaming in pain. But at the same time, he was slowly dying. — Oh, cool, turkey! You're still alive huh! In response, only a roar of pain was heard from the monster and ultimately he died. The last fragment of the tablet immediately came out of his head. — And it seemed to me that you liked being in lava! Guilty. — Sonic said jokingly and took the fragment in his left hand. — And don’t cool down!
