      Good job, hedgehogs! They moved from one dimension to another, defeated the most dangerous enemies and found the last fragments of the legendary Chaos Slab! But that is not all! Let me remind you that we have a friend in trouble. What are you waiting for, heroes? Forward! Although Sonic obtained his fragment after the battle with the Hulk and the agreement with Eggman, he did not want to risk and give his fragment of the tablet into the hands of the villain. For now, he stood between two houses with the entrance to a dark alley where Watchguardian’s lair was hidden. Now there is the weasel Neg himself, who took Watchguardian himself prisoner. Sonic pondered and walked from wall to wall, thinking: — “Now what? You cannot give the fragment to Neg, but if he does not receive it, he will kill Watchguardian. Think, Sonic, think!”

***

      At this time, Neg walked with his almost complete tablet in his hands around Watchguardian and said to himself: — After years of banditry and robbery, shoot-outs and simple threats... I learned not just magic... I am almost omnipotent. I've never been so happy. — he said to himself, touching the tablet and pawing it. — I promise you that I will never sell you to anyone. You will forever be only mine and with your help I will conquer not only my world, but also all other worlds in the entire multiverse. The days when I was a pathetic loser and a common robber who no one took seriously are already in the past. Soon everyone will start to fear me and respect me. Yes, even at the mention of my name, Neg's Weasels will tremble with fear. I will take revenge on all my disgusting offenders who mocked me, ridiculed me and considered me a pathetic loser. I will prove to them all that they laughed at me in vain. I'll show them that I'm not to be trifled with. While he was talking to himself and with the tablet, a person similar to Sonic, Sonic the werewolf, Shadow and Silver appeared by teleportation. They brought their remaining fragments of the tablet, which were added to the tablet itself. Only the last piece remained, but it was gone. Weasel frowned and said: — One thing is missing! — Sonic! Where is Sonic? — asked a fan. — I'm here! — answered the beast. — Not you, I'm talking about someone else! — the man explained. — He is not here. Maybe he couldn't get his fragment? — suggested Silver. — “Or he got it, but doesn’t want to give it back, because he doesn’t care about Watchguardian’s life.” — Shadow answered gloomily, folding his arms over his chest. — Shadow, shut up! All you can do is insult him and be rude about him. I'm sure he's just a little late or is trying to come up with something so as not to give up the shard, but at the same time save Watchguardian himself without giving up the shard. — the man tells him. — “You know that I’m standing here and can hear everything, right?” — Neg asked. The man covered his mouth, realizing that he had blathered on this topic in vain. Weasel rolled his eyes and summoned two flying spiked disks. — I won't wait any longer. Sonic, I know that you are hiding here and can hear me. Where are you? I urgently need the complete tablet! Suddenly, Sonic comes running from somewhere like a bullet and tries to hit Nack on the head with an old rusty bucket, throwing it at him. However, Neg managed to react and grab the bucket with one hand. — Don’t whine that I don’t give you anything! — Regular Sonic said sternly, standing near the door. — Sonic! — four hedgehogs called his name at the same time, not expecting to see him at that very moment. The blue hedgehog runs to the keeper. Three throwing discs with blades flew towards him. Sonic hit one with his right foot, the second with his left hand, and the third with his left foot. All the throwing discs crashed into the walls and got stuck. Neg quickly pulled out his gun and fired an electric bullet that hit Sonic. Sonic didn't have time to dodge and received an electric shock, falling to the floor. Knack approaches the hedgehog with a sly grin and asks: — Did you really think, you naive hedgehog, that it was so easy to fool me? Do you think I look like a fool? — he asks, leaning his muzzle towards Sonic's muzzle. At that moment, Shadow realized to take the same rusty bucket in his hands, sneaked up behind Neg and wanted to hit him from behind. However, Neg sensed danger and turned sharply and hit the perfect life form in the face with his fist, throwing him back. Although Shadow did not save Sonic, he gave him time. While Nack was distracted by the ULF, Sonic managed to come to his senses and hit the weasel in the face with his own fragment of the slab, throwing him to the floor along with the tablet itself. Suddenly, the fragment in Sonic’s hands began to be attracted to the stove, like iron to a magnet, and the hedgehog, not understanding anything, got a little scared, trying to hold the fragment in his hands. — Oh no! Where are you going! Stop! This is not how I planned it. — The fragments are gathering into a slab! — the keeper barely said, explaining to Sonic why his fragment was reaching for the stove. — NO!!! NO!!! STOP!!! I WILL NOT LET YOU GO!!! — the hedgehog shouts, still trying to hold the fragment in his hands. I even tried to run back and pull, but the fragment was stronger and itself pulled Sonic along with it. — SONIC, LET HIM GO!!! YOUR HANDS AND FINGERS MAY CUT!!! — the man shouted. Sonic took the advice and let go of the fragment. The fragment flew up to the others and the slab repaired itself. The Chaos Plate shone again with a green glow and enveloped the caress of Neg, who quickly woke up. He grinned evilly and began to literally grow and become a giant. — YES! I AM STRONGER THAN GOD! NOW I WILL BREAK THE LIMITS OF ALL YOUR UNIVERSE! — he said very loudly, in a terrible voice, getting to his feet and destroying the secret place where the seven of them were. Now they were in a gray space with dark clouds. — Oh no! What have I done? — regular Sonic grabbed his head. The man comes up to him and puts his hand on his shoulder. — You are not guilty of anything. You just wanted the best, but it didn’t turn out the way you planned. — But now he has become omnipotent. How do we stop him now? — asks the other Sonic, who is a werewolf. — Watchguardian! How are you? — Silver took the guardian in his arms. The old man raised his head and said: — Don't worry about me, hedgehogs! Look! — He points with his gaze at how Neg, moving his hands, transfers some objects and locations through the air, as if by telekinesis back and forth. — The fabric of the universe, it begins to unravel! — YES! — Neg also says loudly and terribly. — THE ENTIRE MULTIVERSE WILL CHANGE THE WAY I WANT! I WILL CONSUME ANY UNIVERSE, EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD WILL TURN INTO INNOTITY COMPARED TO ME! FROM NOW ON, EVERYONE WILL RESPECT AND WORSHIP... WEASEL NEG'S! — This is your last chance! — Watchguardian continues to say. — The walls of reality have been destroyed, and now I can call on your other doubles from other worlds to help you! Only together you can survive and protect not only this world, but the entire multiverse! While the guardian was shining his eyes through his blindfold, trying to summon the others as Sonic, Shadow and Silvers, Knack continued to speak and boast of himself: — I CONTROL REALITY! — Just don’t be arrogant! — the man answered angrily, looking sternly at the giant weasel and was the first to run into battle, despite the fact that he had no strength. But he was nevertheless not afraid and believed that he could also at least somehow help the hedgehogs defeat him. — GUY, WHERE ARE YOU GO??? — Shadow shouts at his back. The fan jumps from one island to another, managing to grab the edge of the ledge with his hands and then climb up, because he was excellent at stuntman acrobatics. Having climbed onto the shore, he runs further. Weasel clenches his fist and, sensing that someone is approaching him from behind, summons a portal and puts his hand through it. His fist immediately appears from another portal on the right side of the person. Knack tried to hit, but the guy somersaulted to the left and ran on. Neg creates a fireball in his hand and throws it at the fan, who hides behind an arch of bricks. The weasel summons the likeness of the sun and shines it around, trying to find whoever is approaching him. — I WILL FIND YOU! I WILL TEAR YOU SMALL BY SMALL! — Neg threatened. — Oh, shut up! — the man whispered and after waiting for his semblance of the sun to go out, he ran on and hid behind a military shelter in the form of sandbags. By this time, Neg had extinguished and created a semblance of the sun in his hand several times and tried to find it. Regular Sonic couldn't stand still and watch a man die. He ran straight into the light. — DONT TOUCH HIM!!! — Sonic shouted and picked up a stone from the ground and threw it right at Neg’s giant face. Only this very pebble was like a grain of sand for him, which did not cause any damage. Nek stood gloomy at this time and only asked: — AND THAT'S ALL YOU'RE CAPABLE OF, BABY? — HEY!!! DON'T MAKE A MAKED OF MY GROWTH, NAPOLEON!!! — Sonic shouted back to him. Neg did not appreciate this joke, reached out and grabbed Sonic with a kind of psychokinesis in the form of a red aura and lifted him towards him. — DO YOU THINK YOU CAN KIDDLE ME??? Suddenly Silver flew towards him and dragged a huge piece of a skyscraper behind him with his psychokinesis. Neg sensed the danger and with one blow of his fist destroyed the building that was flying towards him. Then he also grabbed Silver in his red psychokinesis and immobilized him. Despite this, the white hedgehog tried to mentally lift the rock and hit it with it. Neg, looking at the rock itself, stopped her with one glance. At the same time, he grabbed Sonic and Silver in both hands and held them tightly without letting go. Now the rock glowed with two auras, blue and red, and they could not agree among themselves where to carry the rock. Silver used his blue aura to push her towards Neg, and Neg used his red aura to push her away from himself. Nevertheless, in this way Silver distracted Neg and he could not do three things at once. While Neg was distracted by the rock, the werewolf put Shadow on his back and they also ran to the attack. Like a cockroach, Sonic the werewolf climbed up his right leg onto his torso, and from there onto his head. Werehog and ultimate life form stood before the eyes of the giant and each of them, holding his huge eyelids with his hands, hit the weasel in the eyes with his dirty soles. Neg cried out in pain, closing his eyes. At that moment, a rock hit him in the face and from this blow he let go of Sonic and Silver. ULF and werehog flew off to the sides and crashed into the walls. Silver flew to the werewolf Sonic, trying to help him, while regular Sonic was helping Shadow at that time. Each of them grabbed their hedgehog in their arms and carefully lowered it to the floor. The beast and the braggart woke up and looked around. Even Shadow was shocked when he looked at Sonic. — Hey!... Did you save me? — At least I would say thank you! — Sonic frowned a little, folded his hands on his chest and turned away. Shadow rose to his feet in response and only then answered: — Thank you. Sonic's eyes widened and he did not expect that he would hear such an answer from the boastful grumbler. Shadow then hugs Sonic, much to his surprise. Then Sonic himself hugs him back. At this time, the werewolf thanks him in the same way with a hug from the psychokineticist. — I'm suffocating, Sonic! You'll strangle me! — Silver says, a little hoarsely and smiling. — Oh! Sorry! — the dark blue hedgehog let go of the white one. Then Neg himself woke up and grabbed all four hedgehogs with his red psychokinesis, lifting them to his muzzle. — ENOUGH, COCKROACHES! I AM GOD, YOU POOR FOUR! YOU ARE JUST RELICS FROM REMOTE WORLDS! Neither the four hedgehogs nor Neg himself suspected that the man at that time reached the dilapidated building, slowly and silently climbed the fire escape to the roof, took a long chain with two hooks and decided to use it together with the rapidly moving engines from the flying machine nearby. He threw one end of the hook on the chain like a losso and hooked it on the weasel’s forehead. He quickly threw the other end into the engine and it quickly pulled Neg towards him in two seconds. Weasel didn’t have time to think or do anything before he immediately crashed his head into the roof and destroyed the building even more. And then the hook tore a piece of skin from his forehead. The man began to fall with his arms and legs raised to the top. Silver managed to fly in at the last moment and grab him with his psychokinesis. They then landed next to the remains of a building. — YOU ARE BOTHERING ME! — the weasel got angry and, stretching out both hands, created an army of monsters in the shape of purple rubber bands. They growled at the hedgehogs and the man and ran to attack. Regular Sonic, Shadow and Silver fought and fought them off until the werewolf picked up the man and took him away from the battlefield. — Please stay here for now! We will deal with him ourselves, but your life is still dear to you. — he said and ran back to help his friends fight back. The werehog has returned to his friends and is helping them by stretching his arms and beating up the enemies around him. One of the monsters managed to jump behind the back of regular Sonic and bites the needles on his head, biting them off. — HEY, I JUST WENT TO THE HAIRDRESSER!!! — the hedgehog shouted and kicked, sharply raising it towards his head. The monster fell from the blow. Silver used psychokinesis to lift large stones and throw them at other monsters. At this time, Shadow not only kicked, but also used the power of Chaos. Blast, Control and Spear. The giant weasel Neg, folding his arms across his chest, frowned at the battle of the hedgehogs against the army that he himself had made for them. — YOU ARE BOTHERING ME! — he says and he automatically destroyed his monsters, and then again grabbed the four hedgehogs in his red psychokinesis. And then, with one touch of his index finger and thumb, he began to compare the necks of the hedgehogs. — I... Am... Suffocating! — Normal Sonic says hoarsely. — I... Can... T... Lose! — the werewolf also says hoarsely. — Let go... Us!... — Shadow demands hoarsely. — Neg... Stop... This... Madness!... — Silver begged hoarsely. — NEVER! I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL. BUT FIRST YOU WILL SUFFER! — says Neg. At this time, a man found a tank nearby, quickly got into it, aimed a cannon at the weasel's head and shot at it. The explosion was powerful and the weasel was pushed away. At this time, the hedgehogs landed on their knees on the ground and began to catch their breath. Neg came to his senses and looked around, after which he shouted: — I WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS! A red aura enveloped the tank and he picked it up and threw it far away from here. It’s good that the man managed to leave the tank and hide behind a fallen tree. Suddenly, a white light shone in the sky and other doubles of Sonic, Shadow and Silver began to appear from there. Weasel saw them along with the light from above and, with his eyes bulging, shouted: — WHAT???
