Sonic glanced around warily before seeing Shadow. His eyes widened slightly, seeing the pure hatred in his eyes.
“Oh no, he’s definitely messed up or something, look his eyes aren't even the right colour, does he have pupils?” Cass called.
“Shadow, what’s going on!?” Sonic called out.
Shadow quietly ran towards them, glitching slightly.
“Chaos control!” A voice was heard. Then everything slowed down and another Shadow appeared, roundhouse kicking the one that was charging at them. The other one fell back, glitching out.
“A-Another Shadow!” Sonic gasped out.
Shadow looked back, normal pupils. “That was a fake.”
“See, thats a Silvester if I’ve seen one, no wait, is it Sonia? Anyways.” Cass suddenly grew angry. “WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALLAH DO YOU-”
“Calm down.” Shadow snapped, looking around. Sonic stared at him, almost caught in a trance. “Sonic, what’s wrong?”
“WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, SONIA-” Cass was still flared up.
“I-I’m fine!” Sonic quickly said. “Just thinking is all.”
Shadow decided to pry about that later, instead looking to Cass. “Infinite can created virtual realities. As many as he wants without getting tired.”
“Isn’t that stretch for physics- oh wait.” Cass thought. “Well, at least we know what Kilroy does.”
“Kilroy?” Shadow looked to Sonic.
“Don’t ask.” Sonic sighed. He then found himself slightly hopeful as he looked to Shadow. “So… does this mean that the wedding’s back on?”
“Was it ever off?” Shadow tilted his head curiously.
Before Shadow knew it, he was being hugged tightly by Sonic.
“Alright, now that’s over with, don’t we have more crap to do.” Cass shouted over.
Sonic blushed slightly in embarrassment. “Oh, yeah.”
Meanwhile, Knuckles was standing in front of the group. “Alright, Eggman’s forces have moved away from Metropolis. We should be able to take the city! That’s why I’m proposing a full frontal attack! I’m calling it Operation: Big Wave!”
“Who cares what it’s called! What’s important is to have a well thought out strategy!” Silver’s voice cracked somewhere during that sentence.
“About that… I came up with this strategy in about 3 seconds.” Knuckles replied.
“Oh joy.” Marklin hissed.
“Actually, a full frontal attack might not be bad!” Tails interjected. “Plus, we have Sonic- I mean the other Sonic- so I’m sure that we can do this!”
“Alright, then let’s move out!” Knuckles shouted, pointing at the exit.
Marklin took a huge breath and started towards the exit.
Once everyone was near Metropolis, Knuckles quickly gave out orders, separating certain groups to go certain places. Of course, Marklin and Gadget were put together.
“Oh wow, me and the m- sorry- me and the wolf boy at it again, doing stupid crap.” Marklin called, kicking a rock.
Gadget seemed slightly offended, but just showed it by looking down. Knuckles rolled his eyes. “You two make a good team. Besides, this is vital to ending Eggman’s reign.”
“OF COURSE!” Marklin said, he then snapped his arms at his sides and stormed on further. “Can’t catch a break in any time, place, or quantum multiverse.”
Gadget frowned as he followed Marklin. Knuckles rolled his eyes, muttering, “You’re not the only one….”
“Alright, so what now, fighting a egyption god!” Marklin grumbled, summoning his staff we have not elaborated on.
Gadget noticed Infinite flying quickly into the city out of the corner of his eye and gulped. Silver laughed slightly. “I mean, we have fought actual gods on multiple occasions before.”
“Oh of cooooore- you know what why does this surprise me anymore, it’s been over 20 years, and to be fair this isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever dealt with.” Marklin gulped in a breath, “Let’s go murder some idiots I want to be home by the time Basil burns down the house or finish that novel but to be fair he’ll be dead by the time he finishes a single chapter.”
Knuckles quickly gave the signal to charge, and just like that, the Big Wave had started. Gadget made sure to destroy any enemy he came across, heading further to the heart of the city. Marklin followed Gadget helping to smash robots. They both came upon a spring, Gadget instantly grabbing Marklin’s arm and using it, making them go really high up in the air.
“OH OF COURSE!” Marklin yelled. “Damn now I have to make a tee shirt.”
Gadget ignored him for the time being as he was more distracted by Infinite flying up beside them, staring at him, almost in recognition. It was quick to subside, though, as Eggman shouted an order. “Infinite! Make them wish they’d never been born!” and then the gravity shifted, and the two found themselves upside down with long neck, disturbing Infinites surrounding the area. Gadget looked around uncomfortably.
“OH HELL NO!” Marklin screamed, he started to hyperventilate.
“Calm down!” Knuckles shouted through his communicator. “What you’re seeing isn’t real!”
“It’s no use! Our troops have scattered in the confusion!” A soldier yelled through his communicator.
“CoNfUsIoN! COnFUsIOn! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!” Marklin screamed as he tried very hard not to throw up and continue his job.
Gadget swallowed before continuing to run, Infinite messing with the reality whenever he actually got use to it. From the communicator, he could hear many of the other groups retreating, but he refused to do the same.
“Oh what’s next, we’re gonna have to fight this thing!” Marklin yelled, doing his best as he was flung across the city violently multiple times.
“We have to regroup!” Knuckles yelled through the communicator. “Fall back everyone!”
“You’re not gonna fall back are you.” Marklin said calmly to Gadget suddenly.
Gadget simply shook his head, running further into the city. He could almost feel Infinite’s presence watching them. Marklin took a gulp of air and followed.
“I’m gonna need a new inhaler and lunch after this.” Marklin snapped as he followed the idiot.
