Bane then swoops in, back into battle, hitting both Quin and C.X. with a star!

...I don't trust this. The moment ANY form of trouble tries to come through that portal, I'm closing it.

---

Bane proceeds to sneak behind C.X. and hits him with one of his Green Shells.

Bane picks up a triple Green Shell, deciding to use it in a more defensive manner.

...Hmph.

Matt snaps his fingers, sending Null to a realm that causes him constant pain (without killing him).

I told him I would punish him if he causes trouble. And trouble he is causing, trying to re-open the Dead Zone portals. He's lucky I'm not going to find a way to erase him without taking the whole universe down with him.

...Meanwhile, on Angel Island...

...What do you MEAN there were only 29 shards!?
Sorry, Knuckles. I thought for sure this would be the last of them... Someone HAS to have the other 18...
Actually, make that 17... We have a piece right here!

CD-i Link gives Knuckles his piece of the Master Emerald! Suddenly, the sounds of a plane can be heard...

Guh-huh! Hey there, everyone! We saw that mean ol' Grunty had 5 of your emerald shards, so we stopped her plans and came here as fast as we could!
(You forgot to add the part where we didn't even know where to go first, so we had to go on some big collect-a-thon quest to find this place.)
(It was quite the adventure, huh, Kazooie? It's a real shame nobody will ever get to see it.)

Banjo and Kazooie drops off (previously) Gruntilda's 5 pieces and flies off to the distance.

Say, Kazooie. Do you think we'll become main characters in the Chaos Zone, now?
Gee, Banjo, I sincerely doubt it.

---

...Well, there's that. But what about the last 12?

...Oh, fine. I guess I'll have it another day...

Rogue appears, handing over the Emerald Shards she had.

You just couldn't resist, could you?
Hey, you can't blame a girl for trying, now can you?

Knuckles puts together the remaining pieces, finally completing the Master Emerald. Angel Island then begins to rise back to the skies!

---

Total: 100/100
Heroes: 100/100

The Master Emerald has been restored!

We did it! We won!
Alright! Way to go, tea-

Suddenly, as Sonic, Shadow, and Classic Sonic deforms, they suddenly collapse!

Wh-what the-!? What happened!?

Mega Man and Bass deforms as well.

This must be from using the Hyper Energy Crystals... I don't think they were supposed to be using those forms with them. They must've collapsed from the stress of the form.

Mega Man and Bass then looks over to the collapsed Sometal. The two then proceed to take Sometal's Master Emerald Shards and the Chaos Emerald.

...With Sonic, Shadow, and Classic Sonic down, how are we supposed to get them AND Somari out of here?
Allow us to help you with that.

Hotel Mario and CD-i Link approaches our heroes!

Where did you guys come from?
We've been here for quite some time.
Yeah! We've been fighting to keep SatAM Robotnik from interfering with the fight.
He even pricked me in the neck with his Metal Virus! I would've turned bad if it weren't for my trusty 1-Up Mushrooms!
Well, at least you came to help. Grab a pair of bodies and let's get out of here!

Hotel Mario grabs Sonic and Classic Sonic while CD-i Link grabs Shadow and Somari. Mega Man and Bass then grabs the two CD-i characters and warps out with them to Angel Island.

Now!

Super Sonic jumps into Super Mega Man's Charged Shot, combining the attack with his Light Speed Attack in order to strike at Super Sometal at blinding speed!

Sabata, what appears to be the matter?

---

Bane picks up his controller and selects Bowser.



(Also, Bane and Quin are also against CX as a second chance.)

Is everyone ready?
You bet, let's do it!

Super Shadow and Super Bass attacks Super Sometal with Chaos Spears and rapid-fire Buster Shots while Super Mega Man charges a Charged Shot, and Super Sonic charges a Light Speed Attack!

This guy is too strong for us. We have to find a way to counter this power!

Sonic stands firm, hiding the fact that he's extremely worried about the situation... Then something begins to glow in his... Pocket? Something like that.

Huh...? Hold on... These are...



(That's right... I took these from that other-universe Egghead... But why are they reacting to the Super Emerald...?)
Hey, Sonic! What's that you got there?
Well... These are known as Hyper Energy Crystals... I took these from another universe's Eggman and Wily...
...This energy... They feel like they're powered up Energy Elements! This may be just what we need to counter Super Sometal!
Great! It's a good thing I brought seven of them, then! Come on, let's power up and take this guy down! For Somari's sake!

Sonic uses his speed to give a Hyper Energy Crystal to Mega Man, Bass, Classic Sonic, Parallel Aeon, and Trimarc, keeping one for himself. He would've given one to Proto Man, too, but...

Huh? Shadow? Where did you come from?
Did you really think I'd miss out on this? Let's get this over with.

Mega Man and Bass use their super adaptors, while Sonic, Classic Sonic, and Shadow turns Super!

...!
Prepare yourself, you hunk of junk! This is the power of the Ultimate Lifeform!
...(There's something about that hedgehog that I really, really hate.)
(This power is incredible...! With this, we can win for sure!)
Alright, gang! Let's take him down!

Ow! I've been infected with something! It's a good thing I always carry some 1-up Mushrooms with me since the Weegee incident!

Fire Hotel Mario ate a 1-Up Mushroom, curing himself of the virus!

---

1-Up Mushroom- A powerful healing object that fully restores health, and cures the consumer of ALL status inflictions and viruses, regardless of what it is or how cureless or irreversible it normally is.

Suddenly, CD-i Link appears out of nowhere to block the Swatbot's attack with his shield!

No.

Hotel Mario proceeds to pull out a Fire Flower, turning into Fire Hotel Mario! Fire Hotel Mario proceeds to destroy all the Swatbot 3s with a powerful fire attack!

...As we wait for the inevitable big battle to begin, let's see how that party's going aside from the N64 Tournament, of which we are waiting for GammaGuardian to log on Quin to get ready.

(Man, this party has been great... But what are we even celebrating, anyways? ...I feel like me, Sergeant, and Ninja are the only ones who don't really get what's going on around here...)

Suddenly, Beta is approached by Beta Z.

Hey, there. If you're not too busy, there are some people I'd like to introduce you to.

Beta Man Z takes Beta Man to another area in the pizzeria...

---

...At said area, Sergeant Man, Sergeant Man Z, the other ASNs, and 6 more robots are seen in the same room...

...Well, here we are. Modern ASNs, meet your Classic counterparts from my old universe.

The name's Boulder Man, model ASN-03C. I can lift just about ANYTHING; And that isn't just because of my incredible strength, but ALSO because I have the power to decrease the weight of anything I carry!
ASN-04C... The name is Scissors Man! And my dimension-cutting scissor swords can pierce even the toughest of defenses!
I am ASN-05C, Tree Man! I can converse with animals, and have them help me in battle, using the blessings of Mother Nature herself to increase their strength and power!
I am Sun Man, ASN-06C. I am a follower of Sol, Constellation of the Sun, and have even learned a few lesser forms of his and even Sunstar's techniques.
I am Hour Man, ASN model 07C. I have already met quite a few of you... two of which I'm rather surprised they'd invite so easily.
And I am ASN-08C, Raft Man! My rubber body renders electrical attacks useless!

...Wow. ...They all kinda just look like other robot masters with small additions to their designs.
Y-yeah, well... I guess that means you can tell why they're the original, not the current.

@TheHighTower :

(Everyone but Classic Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Sorry, pal, but I'm keeping the Classic gang out of this side-adventure, and on the main focus.

Also, I think that the Anthem gang and A. Rock left before Duo could warp, so you're on your own with this.)
