[Merlina, now transformed as the Dark Queen, is sitting on a throne.]

Dark Queen: I've been expecting you.

Sonic: Just one question before we settle this. Why'd you do it?

Rei: Weren't we trying to save this kingdom from the underworld?

Dark Queen: This kingdom will fail one way or another. Such is its fate.

Sonic: Huh?

Dark Queen: Do you know what is to become of this kingdom?

Sonic: Beats me.

[The Dark Queen starts to walk forward]

Dark Queen: Lancelot and Gawain's rift shall doom the Round Table. Arthur is struck down by his son Mordred, and departs for Avalon.

Sonic: …

Dracovish: You serious?

Dark Queen: This was to be our ideal world. But it will not last... King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table will end in ruin. The King Arthur my grandfather Merlin created led to nothing but mistakes... But I can succeed with the power of the scabbard. Creating a kingdom that never ends. [Uses a small portal to summon a flower.]

Pikachu: That flower feels so familiar.

[A flashback of the "To the Blacksmith" scene with Merlina picking up the same flower. Sonic finally realizes what her plans are.]

Grookey: So, that was your plan all along!

Sonic: What good is a world that goes on forever!?

Dark Queen: My sorrow at its ruin runs deeper than the depths of the underworld. Do you not understand?

Rei: No! And we don't want to!

[Charges at the Dark Queen but she uses a force field to repel Sonic.]

Dark Queen: Your efforts are futile.

Akari: Try again.

Sonic: Raaaaaahhh!!!

[Sonic charges at the Dark Queen again but with a series of rapid slashes, he is repelled once again.]

Sonic: No way!

Pikachu: Is she invincible?

[The Dark Queen's shadow manifests in the shape of King Arthur with many tentacles behind her. The creature will try to hit Sonic with one of its tentacles.]

Caliburn: Sonic! [Raises Sonic's hand and guards him]

Sonic: Caliburn!

Caliburn: You fool! A knight must always be on his guard!

[The Dark Queen commands her shadow and slashes Caliburn in half]

Caliburn: No!

Hisuian Samurott: Oh no! Caliburn!

Sonic: Noooooooooo!!!

[Charges at the Dark Queen, but is hit. Charges once again and is hit back]

Dark Queen: It is time to end this. [The Dark Queen's shadow extends its tentacles longer.]

Sonic: Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!

[Sonic is rapidly thrashed by the shadow. Nimue, Percival, Lancelot, and Gawian are watching from a reflecting pool above.]

Percival: Sir Sonic! You've done enough!

Aegislash: Yes, you've done quite enough.

[Sonic grabs Caliburn and gets back up.]
