There was a bright flash, and suddenly you weren't in a dark room. Taking in your surroundings, you realised you were back where you had been before disappearing into the so called 'Null Space.' Eggman's tower shone brightly in the sunlight, the white building almost blinding you.
Once your eyes were adjusted you smiled. You had made it back! Sonic smiled as well and squeezed your hand,
"Thanks (Y/N), that was a great idea."
You nodded and grabbed your wispon, looking around once again.
Eggman, two of his robots and Infinite were standing not too far away, overlooking the Eggman Fleet. The red robot was the first to notice the you both and began frantically tapping on Eggman's shoulder.
"Excuse me? Boss." It said in a robotic voice.
The mad doctor turned around, knocking the robot away, once his gaze connected with yours, "What!? It can't be! It's impossible to get out of the Phantom Ruby's null space!"
Infinite glanced at Sonic with an annoyed grunt, sending a glare your way. You growled slightly, standing in a fighting stance. The blue hedgehog let out a chuckle, rubbing his nose.
"Maybe by myself, but I had a little help from my friend. Something you wouldn't understand, since you don't have any friends!"
Your cheeks heated a little as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders. The doctor looked mad, his face turning a darker pigment as Sonic mockingly waved him off.
"This changes nothing! Dr. Eggman will still have the last laugh!" The villain yelled, before flying away in his too small flying machine. The dark jackal gave you two one last glance, before following him, and the two robots struggled to keep up.
"Maybe he'd have more friends if he didn't talk about himself in the third person." Sonic chuckled more. You smiled and gave him the thumbs up just as Tails ran over.
"Sonic! You made it back!" The yellow kitsune hugged his older brother, and you took a step back. Sonic smiled and ruffled the fur on his head.
"You bet I did! What did we miss while we were gone?"
"Not much, it had only been a few seconds. Eggman was heading off to finish his plan!" Tails gave a worried look, "He didn't say anything, he really is being cautious this time. We need a plan and we need to think about it quickly!"
"Thankfully speed is my middle name." Sonic said, before glancing at you, "Hey (Y/N), you've come up with a good idea before, have you got anything this time?"
You frowned slightly, rubbing your chin. That's when you felt a throb in the back pocket of your pants. The Phantom Ruby! Pulling it from your pocket you held it up. It glowed in your hand, the air around it wavering with power.
"The prototype! Maybe we could use it?" Tails tilted his head, "But how..."
"Didn't you say Eggman had all of those destroyed?" Sonic raised a brow, before grabbing the gem from your hand, "There was a reason for that right?"
"Yeah, to make sure no one else could harness it's power and..." The fox stopped, blinking, "(Y/N)! You need to use the prototype to stop whatever Eggman is planning!"
You tilted your head, "Wha..?"
"The power from this will be enough to interrupt the other ruby, like when you have bad connection due to a building. This gem is the bad connection, you have to find a way to make it interfere with whatever it is Eggman will do!"
"Tails, remember not all of us are as smart as you." Sonic said, handing the gem back to you.
"But I did my best to explain it in a simple way.."

"(Y/N) still looks confused."
You raised your hand, shaking your head, "The gem's power... Interferes with the other... Find a way to do that..."
"Yep!" The fox smiled, his twin tails wagging, "I'll stay and help, okay?"
You nodded.
"And Sonic, go help the others. I think Eggman might be attacking them soon, and with Infinite's powers and all those clones, they might need your help."
"Right." Sonic nodded, "I'll go now then."
But he turned to you and offered a smile, "Now you stay safe okay? We can't lose anyone in this battle. Especially you."
You blinked, tilting your head.
"The world is depending on you (Y/N), all I can do, all anyone can do right now is help and distract Eggman. But you need to be the one to stop him." He took your hands, "Stay as safe as you can, we believe in you."
You smiled and nodded again, and the blue hedgehog nodded back, before giving you both the thumbs up.
"Good luck guys!"
"You too Sonic!" Tails waved as he ran off, before giggling a little. You turned to him and tilted your head, he only smiled,
"He likes you."
~Sonic's P.O.V~
-Just stay safe (Y/N)...-
I huffed and shook my head. No. I have other things to focus on right now. As I said that, I came to a cliff, looking down at the fight my eyes widened. There stood the Resistance, with everyone that had been helping fight back, and standing in front of them was Infinite, surrounded by his many fakes and clones.
Too many.
"We won't lose..." I mumbled to myself, jumping down and sliding down the dirt cliff, "Not if (Y/N) can help it..."
Doing my best to keep my mind blank and stay focused, I ran to the others, stopping next to Knuckles who stood in front, glaring at Infinite. He looked over, smirked and gave me a nod. I nodded back, and he turned to the team behind us, punching his large fist in the air.
"Let's go!" He yelled.
The Resistance let out a large battle cry, before they started running at Infinite and his team of goons. I smirked and stayed back, waiting for Infinite to send his own attack. The jackal was quick to retaliate, and sending his own clones to fight my team.
I noticed they weren't as strong, the clones were easy to destroy, and I frowned. Was it because Infinite's power was stretched just to create this many clones, or has he got something bigger planned.
Something didn't feel right.
I shook my head and snickered. The Resistance needed a hero, not a doubter.
Turning back to the jackal, I jumped and spin-dashed into him, taking him off guard.
"Hey Infinite! Long time no see! Did you miss me?" I smirked, now having his gaze.
Infinite only scoffed, facing me, "Why yes, I did. I've been looking forward to finishing you and your annoying friends."
He threw a powerful wave of energy, knocking back my team, "I trust you're all ready for oblivion? If you're not... oh well."
Just as he was about to throw another wave, he was suddenly shot at. He deflected some attacks but snarled in pain as the first few struck his mask. Out of nowhere, a familiar black, red and white robot dropped from the sky.
"What!? Who dares!?" The jackal yelled, glaring at Omega as the robot aimed his weapons at him.
"Target reconfirmed. Extermination mode initiated. Payback INEVITABLE." He stated in a robotic voice, sounding almost angry.
Rouge flew over with a smiled, "Omega! You've joined us!? Awesome!"
"Is there no end to these annoying insects? I will burn your resistance to ashes, and you along with it!" He yelled, before raising his hands to the sky. Suddenly the sky started to ripple, and I frowned, taking a step back.
The sun appeared, or something similar. It was floating in the sky, looking about ready to crash into Mobius. Knuckles let out a gasp.
"Whoa, you've got to be kidding! That's just a special effect, right?!" He took a step back, his fists raised.
"No, it's not!" Tail said over the ear pieces, I was glad he wasn't here, "While we're under the Phantom Ruby's control, it's a part of our reality!"
"Unbelievable! What chance do we have against that?" Espio asked, a look of defeat in his eyes. I growled and turned back to the sun. So it was real?
-Come on (Y/N)... Any minute now...-
Suddenly Dr. Eggman flew over in his Egg Mobile, laughing his annoying evil laugh, "The sun will fall upon you all. BOOM! THE END! Your pathetic lives are over."
I'm sorry I suck at Sonic's P.O.V ;^; It's just so serious I didn't know what else to do but go into descriptive mode...
