Sonic: Are you sure this looks good? I feel kind of wierd. *Looks at his slightly blue purple mix coloured quills that get more purplish as they reach the edge and more blue the more they reach him* It looks kind of-
Blaze: What are you babbling about? It matches with all four of us and it's not like you worse than before, I would say it kind of matches.
Amy: A eye looks kind of bland,lets try silvery teal. *Picks up the ruby and calls for infinite to change things.* A little more gilttery anddd. Good.
Sonic is currently getting a makeover by his wifes and Infinite has become the tool, They changed his quill and eye colour to match with Amy and blaze, gave him a reddish shirt with black jacket to match with Shadow, His sneakers are now enchanted by Sonica and it's colour looks like mix of light blue with grey and strips of dark blue on them.
Sonic: Is all that really necessary? *Looks at Sonic° to the side which looks like be suffering under sally just like him* We look different enough already.
Sonic° still has his blue quill colour but his eyes have been turned to orange, the pointy edges of his quills have a deep shade of Saffron colour and his wrist rings have been changed with a sci-fi wrist band of white colour that monitors his location and sends it to sally.
The semi-finals were ended yesterday but Sonic is still participating as nizo and the reveal will be done in finals, vector and his companions found some clues but didn't have full evidence so they decided to ramp up their efforts.
The finalists were Sonic, Sonic°, Shadow, Rouge°, silver, blaze, Amy, Amy°, Knuckles, Jet, Storm, Jet°, Egg man, Augus, Tails°, Shade, Honey, Tangle, whisper and surprisingly Lupin.
The Table knights like Gawain, Gallard (Which Sonic has not personally met yet), Lancelot, Garith and others were given the duty by blaze to guard the sol emeralds alongside other important things in the Avalon castle.
Sonic: Forget about those things for a min.. Did you guys finish the preparations? *Stands up and looks at the mirror* 'Somewhat decent' We need to be ready for it.
Sonic°: we sure did. Most of your Soldiers already got in position and Knuckles have have already moved the angel islands to Right outside the city alongside Robotnik's airships. What even are we fighting?
Sonic: heh.. A entire army of over a million. *Picks up a can of soda from nearby* At the minimum.
The others stare at him in bafflement and quickly left, Amy went to contact gun while blaze decided to ask Gallard and Lancelot to come to the event instead, Sonic° laughs in excitement as he bids farewell and leaves for Egg corps to get himself a weapon that Sonic suggested while Sonic himself was just left in the room alongside The ever poker face Shade.
Sonic: Um. Should we go? I still need some practice with Construct and We need you familirized with the new emeralds.
Shade nods silently before grabbing Sonic's hand and warped to the training grounds together.
-8 hours later-
Announcer: Welcome everyone to the final race of the Grand prix, today is the day we see the winner and new owner of... *Pulls a cloth to Reveals a glowing item on a glass case sealed with magic* The Spark of Cosmos.
One by one every racer arrived at the field with their gears in hand, they wave at each other while Something gathers a lot of attention.
Announcer: I can't believe my eyes.. is that two Sonics? *Takes a chit from the person to the side* Breaking news everyone, I just recieved a message from the sponsers, King Sonic and The blue hero Sonic are not the same person but rather two people.
The crowd grows silent at the unexpected news and seriously begins thinking about who they should cheer for but the racers didn't stop for them.
The riders get on their gears and the countdown starts, 3.2.1 and every rider ramped the speed to the max. The Sonic twins take the top spots followed by Shadow.
Meanwhile on top of a building slightly away from the track, a single platypus with Black bleeding eyes look at the announcement booth with a satisfied expression.
Starline: There it is, master's power and my gift to my saviour who brought me back from dead.*looks to the bunch standing behind him* I expect a success even if it costs you your life, understood?
The Destructix members which includes Fiona, Lightning, Flying and dragon nod with blank eyes while lamenting the decision to meet Starline. They dispersed and begins their mission.
A small black spirling mass of darkness opens behind Starline and Delargte walks out of it with scourge's body, he stares at Starline and asks.
Delargte: Preparations done?
Starline: *kneels* Yes milord.. could ask something master?
Delargte: What is it? *Stares at the masses of people below and turns back to Starline.*
Starline: With your power, you could have just taken it by force but why the long run?
Delargte: *laughs in evil* You underestimate the one among them, I sense presence, his presence. Authority the boundless, Even if he has lost most of his divinity i wouldn't be able to defeat him without the spark.
Starline: I.. I will get you the spark my lord.
Delargte nods and leaves back into a spiraling portal after throwing Starline something akin to a black thorn the size of a dagger.
Starline jumps up and falls down straight into the darkness of the sewer system of the city, as he makes his way, he sends a signal to Surge to start her mission.

Sonic: You won't catch up with that. *Activates the gear and quickly drifts into a tunnel, tunnel closes behind him*
Sonic°: I don't need such shortcuts. *Grabs the gear and begins running across the track at high speed and bounces on the spring pads* I am speed.
Shadow is meanwhile just focusing on collecting rings and dodging many projectiles the Amy duo is spamming at him and Shade quickly overtakes them all through a booster tunnel while taunting with a salute.
Amy: This won't work.. we should ignore shadow, focus on her.
Amy°: That's right, we ain't letting another girl overtake us.
Knuckles meanwhile is ramming into Egg man and augus like a psycho as he blasts through a field of rocks.
Knuckles: Now this is Pod racing, See ya latter slo- ****
As soon as the gear ends he eats a bunch of bombs and mines and gets left behind again, jet even does a hop on his head and sends him wriggling into the nearby tunnel.
Much to knuckles's bad luck, the tunnel was not a booster tunnel but a minefield shortcut and he had just used his gear, he had to sacrifice most of his Gp to activate Zero gravity and escape with a hair's breath.
After over 20 mins of racing the group finally reached the final lap and Sonic full sended his speed and gp. He crossed the speed of 600 and left everyone far behind but now was the time for the plan to begin.
Sonic: Everyone. Start the reversal. *Jumps out of the gear and brings out Excalibur and the ruby* Reality bend: space shift
The audiance were quickly teleported out of the city itself and straight onto a evaluation point outside the city, the racers also jumped out and bought out their own weapons as Sonic looks Delargte who is just staring at him from far away.
Delargte: So you knew.. I guess I could stop this game of pretend now. Army of Corruption.
Thousands of swirling portal appear in the sky and begins spewing out disfigured beings one by one, humans, animaloids, citrons and even half birds and dragons. The buildings and track was crushed under the flood of enemies.
Sonic: I was waiting for you.. TRAITOR *brings out the ruby* Amplify the pink emerald.
A circular pulse spread out from the ruby and ever being was protected from the power of corruption by the emerald's aura. Sonic flashs past the raining enemies and headed straight for Delargte who fought back by corrupting the space between them itself.
Sonic°: Now that's some crazy power, I can't let him have all the fun alone. *cracks his knuckles and enters his super form* I was getting bored of such slow race anyway.
Sonic and Sonic° together dashes towards Delargte through the corrupted space with Sonic and excalibur acting as the spear head while Sonic° acts as the booster.
-Somewhere near the announcer-
Fiona: where is it where is it. Just where the hell did they stuff it in?
???: Fiona the fox, a criminal and member of Destructix.
From the door, a armored Green hedgehog clad in heavy armor walks in while reading a list in his hand, he looks at the others and seems to mark something on the list before throwing it away.
Garith: I was waiting for you, Time to send you back to prison *grasps his lance and points at the squad of Destructix staring at him with hostility* Come.
Lighting was the first to attack, Garith raises the lance and swipes with it as he dodges a kick a for lighting and clashed with Dragon, Flying comes from the side and tries to disarm Garith as his hand turns into a black blade of darkness and his eyes turns black.
Lighting is stopped by Lancelot who teleported in and parries a kick from him while himself delivering a kick straight to the chest that sends lightning out of announcement room.
Galahad: You deal with that lynx, I got the frog *pulls flying towards him mid attack and grabs him by the face* You deal with big guy garith. *Smashes through the wall using Flying as a shield*
Garith: with pleasure. I have getting bored since the abyssals lost and the king disappeared.
Fiona meanwhile is running away but just as she was out of the stadium she gets intercepted, percieval comes and kicks her straight into the wall of nearby building.
Percieval: She looks smarter than the other three, we have to get serious. Flaming soul
A figure of blaze appears behind her, blaze looks at her as she fires a massive jet of flames towards Fiona whose arm quickly turns into a massive black shield.
Fiona: This b****, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
Fiona raises her hands which then turns into two pair of claws as her skin blackens like charcoal and forms a full body armor. She charges at percieval who blocks one of the claws with a sword grabs the other mid attack, blaze(blaze is controlling the flame clone) creates multiple whips of flames and circles them around Fiona before swinging her like yo-yo, fiona cuts the whips with her claws and stares at them angerly from a distance.
***
Starline: Are you sure you want to do this?
Starline looks at the Amy duo who seems hellbent on crushing him into bits under their hammers, they swing them around as they wish and are swiftly demolishing one part of the sewer after another.
Amy: Why don't you stop dodging for once eh? Just shorten the time of this game of chase for us.
Amy°: We will get you sooner or later anyway.
Starline: Brainless simplitons *the ground and walls wither under his hand and crumble to dust, using the dust as camoflage he closes in* Mindless berserks like you have no value except being slaves.
Amy: Oh really? *Appears behind him* Eat this then.
Starline gets hit straight in the back with a hammer that weight tons and got sent flying towards Amy° who hits him back at Amy. He quickly spins mid-air as he comes to his senses and avoids a pulverising downward smash by Amy and grabs her arm.
Starline: I will be taking this, and your soul as well.
Amy's arm starts turning wrinkled but she just raised her other arm and hit him away, the Ruby's pulse again spreads and her arm and soul returns to normal under it's influence. Starline spits at the ground as he stands up, his body repairs itself under the power of the fallen as a crazy expression comes on his face.
Starline: Good good, i must commend you efforts for pushing me this far. But i am no fighter. *A creepy smile forms on his face as the ground begins shaking*
Amy and Amy° bash their way out of the sewers and watches as a massive robotic arm pops out of the ground followed by the rest of the robot, starline stands on its Shoulder and looks the duo before turning around and leaving.
Amy°: come back here you co- *Amy stops her and the massive fist of the robot hits at where she was ruining at* Thanks.
Amy: Deal with this thing first. The others are not idling around anyway.
The disfigured monsters close in on them from all sides as the duo smiles. They lunge at them, swinging their hammers with full freedom.
