Sonic Forces: Illusions and Cold Hard Truths

Slumber

The Resistance, led by the Guardian of the Master Emerald, charged at the copies of a water god in its basic form, a red muscular Zeti, a robot carved in the shape of a blue metallic hedgehog and a hedgehog had who once sworn revenge on the world.

The red echidna pulled a couple of punches, the black and red hedgehog flew toward and bumped into some clones and the silver hedgehog froze a few clones in their tracks, allowing a green crocodile, a magenta chameleon and a bee to take them out.

With the help of the hedgehog's psychic powers, a pink hedgehog hits a clone with her hammer and a white bat lifts herself off the ground and kicks a few clones down. The blue hedgehog (along with a yellow twin-tailed fox and a younger blue hedgehog) and his team of heroes rush through the countless numbers of clones, eventually reaching a masked creature of some kind.

This creature had black gloves and matching boots, and a metallic mask. He also had a glowing red and black gem attached to his chest, allowing him to use his powers at will. The azure hero sped towards the masked animal, leaving his team behind before skidding to a halt. He was the first to open his mouth to speak.

"Hey, Infinite. Long time no see! Did you miss me?" he spoke, as if talking to a long-lost friend.

"Why yes, I did." Infinite replied. "I've been looking forward to finishing you and your annoying friends!" In a flash of red, he knocked the group of heroes back with a powerful force.

"But first..." Summoning the gem's power, Infinite conjures four red orbs and pushes them into the ground. A red ring each surrounds Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow and Tails. Before anyone could react, the red rings emit a bright glow before summoning powerful streaks of red lightning that suck the energy out of them, knocking each of them down and out.

The remaining teammates call out to the unconscious four, unsuccessfully trying to shake them awake. The masked marauder chuckles to himself. "Let us see you four fools squirm and suffer in your slumber."
