(A/n: This will probably be kind of a long chapter, but It's nothing compared to the chapter from my other fanfic; it's like 10,000 words. It would have been much more if I hadn't dissected it a bit to a different chapter; without cutting it, it would have been 15,000 words and above... But I'm getting better at pacing a bit.)

The monstrous four-armed purple Hedgehog gazed at Sonic with its uncaring, dead eyes that held a smile that shouldn't fit at all.
And raised one hand and made a circular motion, creating a gray donut-shaped circle.
Sonic felt his fur standing up. Seeing the circle, he moved to the side as soon as it shot toward him, barely missing.
Sonic turned to the circle and saw that the circle kept moving ferociously at the millions upon trillions of stars and planets.
And everything was erased from existence, like blinking your eyes just to see that there all gone. Countless galaxy clusters had disappeared.
Sonic yelled out toward the clone with a confidence that was fatigued upon seeing all of those stars gone. "Hah!!! You missed!!!"
When he turned his head toward the direction of the purple Hedgehog, he wasn't there.
Before he was about to look around for Indra, Sonic bumped into something behind his back.
Sonic turned around and tried backhanding the purple Hedgehog, but (clone) Indra didn't even try to block it and let it land on his face.
The backhand didn't even make him budge. And grabbed Sonic's wrist off of his face and spoke,
A dark purple energy blasted toward the clone and engulfed him, creating a crystal-like aura; as soon as the crystal broke, what came after was still the same form as before, only wholly animated, and the true Indra spoke.
"I'm back!!! And it seems like my clone had found a problem... Screw it, I'll focus on the bitch later~." Sonic was still trying to get out of Indra's iron grip, as the entire time when the clone was talking, he'd been using his other limbs and hitting Indra, trying to make him let go.
Indra, who squinted his eyes in confusion, told Sonic, "Why don't you just use Chaos control?"
Sonic stopped completely and looked at Indra in embarrassment, "Oh, for personal reasons, and I just forgot about that till you said something about chaos control..."
Sonic's golden yellow aura glowed, and Sonic teleported ten meters away from Indra. Indra looked on with interest as he said, "Huh? You didn't have to yell out Chaos Control to do that... Is yelling that out just a way to look flashy??"
Sonic took a deep breath, like he was trying to control himself, and stated, "Pretty much... If you yell out chaos control one too many times, then you can easily do it as a mental command... It's as simple as breathing for me using these chaos emeralds, and I don't like relying on them."
Indra smiled, "Hoh~ Let's see how far I can push you~."
All four hands from Indra clasped together, and an enormous aura around Indra appeared, clad in a dark purple and pure white. With a broader smile, Indra said.
"You know~ let's play a game here, Sonic~ try to stop me from taking any more of humanities souls from every other parallel, transversal, perpendicular, horizontal, Vertical, curved, intersecting, and extraversal timelines expanding across all of the past, present, and future just in this universe~." Sonic paled at his words and immediately dashed at Indra faster than he ever had to as the insane Hedgehog powered up.
At this point of acceleration, Sonic forced himself to an entirely different level of speed where his view of everything around him was of a distorted reality.
But even with that, Sonic felt like this wasn't fast enough at all, as the aura around Indra was mockingly moving around even with Sonics view of the world being at a standstill.
Sonic gritted his teeth in frustration. As Sonic began to feel despair, a light navy blue light constricted Idra below even a zeptosecond, which gave Sonic a glimmer of hope. The light blasted through Indra's aura and tackled Indra down as a gold and purple light blasted away from Earth.
(A/n: A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second. That's a decimal point followed by 20 zeroes and a 1, and it looks like this: 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 001. The only unit of time shorter than a zeptosecond is a yoctosecond and Planck time. A yoctosecond (ys) is a septillionth of a second. And it's been known to be the shortest span of time)
A light yellow Hedgehog looked at the two figures flying across space as he was breathing heavily. ".... God... *COUGH* What..... Did I... Try to stop?!?!"
Silver exclaimed, not really realizing he had saved his timeline from being messed up even further.
When he finally got a breather, Silver followed along with the two that were flying across space.

~Beyond The Stars~
Sonic had already smashed Indra into a red planet and rolled away from Indra to take a breather; he looked at the crater where Indra was supposed to be.
Sonic started floating up to the sky to see that the purple Hedgehog wasn't there anymore, making Sonic's grim face even more gloomy.
A harsh laughter can be heard throughout the planet. "Hm hm hm Heh heh heh heh AHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH."
As soon as the laughter died down, an amorphous purple energy began to flow around like water and moved around Sonic, and it shifted away just a few meters away from Sonic. Now, a four-armed purple Hedgehog and Sonic were staring down at each other, one with a grave expression and the other with a joyful smile.
At this point, Sonic wasn't trying to crack any jokes while assessing Indra as coldly as possible.
Lighting from the planet's atmosphere had started crashing down violently. Sonic, without any more words to say, thrust a straight punch making it look like a blur at Indra.
Indra blocked it and punched Sonic in the face with his first arm, which caused Sonic's head to bobble, and used his other hand to punch him in the gut, which caused Sonic to suck in some breath as his body was smashed down to the red planet
*HMPHF!!!*
*CRACKBOEINMWGH*
Sonic got up, albeit barely, and blasted back up into the sky toward Indra as another clash ensued, with Sonic slowly becoming more and more aggressive with each of his blows. His eyes had started to become red swirls, but he still tried to hold himself back.
A radiant light of gold and purple clashed all across the planet, creating so many different afterimages spanning all over, causing tremors to tear apart the surface of the red planet.
The violence and mayhem between The Blue Blur and The Directionless Chaos were starting to destroy parts of the dimensional reality as they fought.
One final clash obliterated the entire planet, blasting both Hedgehogs away from each other where a purple light went in one direction, and the other was blown away back to Earth.

(POV: Sonic The Hedgehog)
'My body feels so... Light? I almost felt so free... To the point where it scared me, I never wanted to use the Chaos emeralds as much as I do now, and nearly all of the opponents I've faced never caused me stress...
Except for Dr. Egghead but who caused a different type of stress for me at times, but for this guy that blew me away in this vacuum of space, I think he was about the only one other than Shadow to give me a feeling that I was at this edge survival. But unlike Shadow, though, this Indra guy is slowly burning away my s͓̊å͓n͓̊i͓̊t͓̊ẙ͓.'
The blue Hedgehog, with his eyes closed, slowly widened his smile to the point of showing off his sharp teeth when electricity had sparked around him just a bit.

(General POV)
Silver was flying toward where both Sonic and Indra flew to; Silver sighed to himself. "Haaah!! God!!! Why did the both of you have to fly so far away."
His frustration was evident on his face, but then he saw a gold light flying in his direction from afar.
Silver smiled, "I'll be damned Sonic!!! There you are!!! But... It looks like you're out of commission..."
Silver stopped Sonic's momentum with his telekinetic grip and pulled him close. 'It seems like you're still in your super form too... That's good; I don't want you dying in outer space of all places.'
As he pulled Sonic alongside him to return to Earth, Silver wanted to regroup with Shadow so that all three of them would fight together.
Silver called out to Sonic, "Hey, Sonic!! Are you awake, buddy?!?"
Sonic, who had his eyes closed, opened them while yawning and was surprised to see Silver. "*YAWN* ....Ohh!! Hey Silver!! I wasn't expecting to see you!! But you might have to fly faster if you want to retreat to Shadow. I'm not sure, but that Indra guy is probably flying toward us, perchance."
Silver, who was looking in front, then turned his head to Sonic, "By any chance, does this Indra guy look like a purple hedgehog?"
Sonic looked at Silver in a daze, "Uhhh... Yeah?? But with four arms and also has the appearance of a being of pure energy... When did you meet him?"
Silver thought for a bit, then said, "I guess a lot happened during your time-fighting... Me and Blaze fought a fake version of you, and that version of you looked like a literal hellspawn if you ask me, and then it got bored fighting the both of us and went after Cream, Vanilla, and Cheese, but some servant guy came to the rescue...
He tortured that fake you pretty badly. After he was finished, he walked toward Cream and the rest, and we tried rushing but were immediately frozen. Blaze, And I could not move at all...
Honestly, that was some voodoo bullshit stopping us, and then we couldn't really hear what the servant was talking about with Cream, but I know that he didn't seem to hold any malice toward them, and when he approached us, he went to Blaze first and was all like. 'Hmm, I'll put you on the list of candidates for this lord guy.' And she went bonkers, Sonic, you should have seen her!!!
She went on a tirade about not going into some marriage again-!!!" Sonic interrupted Silver.
"Umm, hey Silver, I would love to hear your story, but SILVER!!! PLEASE WOULD JUST FLY FASTER!!! HE'S COMING!!!"
That was when Silver also felt an immense energy level from far away approaching both. With Silver's fight-or-flight instinct, he flew off back to earth while yelling to himself.
"OH FUCKITY FUCK FUCK!!!!! SHIT SHIT SHIIT SHIIIIIT!!!! HE'S ALREADY GETTING CLOSER SONIC!!!!" And now it was Sonic's turn to yell at Silver.
"CALM DOWN SILVER!!! TRY TO IMAGINE WHO YOU WANT TO RUN AWAY FROM THE MOST AND PUT THAT MENTAL IMAGE IN THE CHAOS EMERALDS!!! IT WILL INCREASE YOUR SPEED!!!" Silver had calmed down a bit and started imagining a demonic-looking purple cat.
And put that mental image in the Chaos emeralds, and his own body glowed brightly, giving Silver a more significant increase in speed. Sonic yelled out excitedly.
"That's right, Silver!!! Don't limit yourself when using the emeralds and just fly!! I think Shadows is close to done charging up his energy!!!"
Silver took a deep breath and started to lock in while a looming threat was slowly gaining momentum toward the two hedgehogs.
(A/n: Sonic EXE chase scene... 👹)
Silver had finally reached the earth's atmosphere and the location of Shadow. Both Sonic and Silver felt something not too far away: the sight of a four-armed hedgehog indifferently flying behind them with a demonic, toothless smile.
That sight had brought chills to them both, but those feelings fell short as a golden light flew past both Sonic and Silver and stopped point-blank in front of the purple hedgehog and yelled out with both hands.
[CHAOS BLAAAAST!!!!!!]
An enormous energy that was bigger than the Earth was shot point-blank at Indra.
And was seemingly swallowed by the blast alongside the many stars that the energy could reach. Indra was now temporarily far away enough to catch a breather. All of them were floating in the sky.
Shadow turned around and saw the both of them and spoke, "Sigh... I guess all three of us are now here... Fuck it, was there anyone else with you, Silver, or was it just you??"
Silver immediately let go of Sonic from his telekinetic grip, which almost made Sonic fall out of the sky, but Sonic was able to float.
"WATCH IT YOU DUMBASS!!!" Sonic yelled at Silver, but Silver was more focused on Shadow's question.
"Well, there was also Blaze with me, but she's with Tails and the others..." Shadow closed his eyes and looked at Sonic.
"So... Sonic... Are you still in fighting condition?" Sonic was still miffed about almost being dropped from the sky, said while grumbling.
"Yeah, sure, I'm fine, Shadow... I sure am ready to be beaten down again here... Are you?? Wait!!! Shadow, why not let Silver test the waters first!!! It should be his turn first!!"
Silver, confused by Sonic's words, asked, "Wait!? What are you guys talking about?"
Silver was ignored.
Shadow put on his thinking cap and said to Sonic, "Hmm... I don't think we should do that at this point, and Silver will feel the same pain as we have, so we could take our time."
Silver furrowed his eyes while listening to the both of them acting like he doesn't exist, then said, "Why don't we bring the fight to Angel Island!!! Knuckles is also there, and he could help us out!!"
Now, both Sonic and Shadow turned their heads toward Silver; Sonic looked at Silver in surprise while Shadow was in his thinking mode.
"Huh... That's so dumb... And yet, a great idea... But, Silver, Knuckles will want to beat you to death if he hears you're the one who brought up the plan..." Said Sonic and Shadow said.
"No... Hold on, Sonic, he's cooking something here... It doesn't matter what happens to Silver here... All that matters is that we've got another plan... And Silvers a sacrifice..."
Silver had already started to grind his teeth and yelled out, "FUCK YOU TWO!!! CAN'T I GET A BIT OF RESPECT HERE!!!!"
Sonic laughed, "Psheee HAH!!! Oh... I mean, sure, Silver, thanks for your input... It-it was really... Needed..."
Sonic was desperately trying to hold back his laughter, and SIlver looked away and toward the direction of where he blasted Indra, now wholly focused on the enemy, while Silver was becoming enraged.
Shadow said, "So... Are all of you ready to face our son."
Sonic stopped laughing immediately and said to Shadow while looking up into space, ".... Sure...."
Silver, who was bombed by that fact, yelled out, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S MY SON!?!?!?!"
Shadow ignored him, "Yep... He's ready too..."
A looming purple aura was descending upon the earth, making all three Hedgehogs ready for the fight of their lives.
