Chapter 18: Race to The End

New Megaopolis

Dr. Eggman and the Syndicates were all in the upgraded Death Egg Mark III, laughing evilly, while overlooking their newly developed Doomsday Machine. Their happy moment was short lived when an alarm rang, and they looked up on a monitor to see a blue streak heading for them, followed by several more multicolored streaks, with one that is a rainbow.

They looked through a camera and zoomed in on the colored streaks, to reveal them to be none other than the heroes. Instantly, the Syndicates all called in every of their forces, and ordered them all to attack the heroes.

Several Changelings buzzed their wings as they charged at the heroes as green flaming comets. Not wasting a second, Rainbow Dash cracked her hooves as she was the first to charge in towards the Changelings and fought them off.

One of the Changelings tried to bite Rainbow Dash, but the she was too quick for it and punched it away, following with a swift kick as another dived down on her.

The Changelings that haven't got into close combat with Rainbow Dash all shot green slimes at the cyan pegasus, only for them to be repelled by a magic shield produced by Twilight.

"Thanks Twi," Rainbow Dash called out.

"No problem," Twilight replied, before they both resumed galloping through the Syndicate army with the rest of the heroes.

More robots were deployed, along with several cannons and guns being aimed in the heroes' directions. With that, the leaders on board the Death Egg all shouted, "FIRE!"

On command, all fires were opened as the heroes fought their way through the shots.

Mario and Luigi, riding on Yoshi, with Polterpup running by their side, all brought out their hammers and knocked all bob-ombs and bullet bills away, as if they were multiple baseballs. One of the Bullet Bills was launched right back into the cannon it was fired from and exploded upon impact.

Yoshi quickly saw a random Koopa and snatched it with his tongue, before swallowing and producing an egg which he used to hurl at all of the Syndicate troops.

Sonic jumped on a Koopa and used its shell as a skateboard, with Tails flying close behind. A Buzz Bomber swooped in and tried to shoot Sonic, but Tails quickly shoot it down with his arm cannon. Sonic continued surfing through the battle on the Koopa, and knocking out Koopas, Goombas, Changelings, and robots along the way before he jumped off and resumed running through the battle, kicking and spin dashing though the army of robots.

Many flying Syndicate troops all tried to surround Tails, but the cunning fox kid was quick to reach into his handbag and threw a flash grenade, blinding the troops, before he striking them all down with his Magic Hand device. One lone Changeling tried to tackle Tails from behind, but was stopped by Spyro, who dive bombed on the creature, and together they fell to the ground as flaming comets and landed in a great burst of fire.

The Spyro stood over the Changeling, knocked out, before battling several more monsters that were coming at him. A troll fired a homing missile from his bazooka at the dragon, but Spyro quickly dodged the firearm and shot a giant fireball, which exploded upon impact with the troll. Spyro started charging headfirst into the battle, while igniting a fiery aura on his horn, before it takes the shape of an Ibex's horn. All of the enemies caught in the dragon's path were all smoldered and blackened.

"All right Spyro!" Sparx cheered.

Twilight galloped through the horde, blasting away enemies from every corner with her magic, while using her book, having enchanted it, as a shield. She was stopped in her track when a Magikoopa appeared before her and with a wave of its wand, sent a magic fireball flying towards her. Twilight retaliated with her own magic fireball. Both magics clashed and exploded into bright multicolored sparkles.

Soon enough, Twilight found herself surrounded by more Magikoopas who all shot several magic fireballs at her, which she countered with her own magic. One magic fireball got through and singed Twilight's mane, and a lightning bolt shot by one of the Magickoopas struck her spell book, knocking it out of her telepathic grip.

Eventually, the wizard koopas all overwhelmed the unicorn. Luckily, Rainbow Dash saw this and came to the rescue with Spike.

Spike recovered the book and used it as a shield against the Magikoopas and their spells, while Rainbow Dash quickly bashed them all away.

"Thanks you guys," Twilight panted as she got up.

"No problem, Twi," Rainbow Dash smiled, patting her friend's back with her wing. "LOOK OUT!"

Rainbow Dash quickly shoved Twilight out of the way, just as a Spiny Egg landed and unrolled itself into a Spiny.

Soon enough, Lakitus are seen flying towards the heroes, together with some more enemies.

A Koopatrol poked its head out from one of the Lakitu's cloud with a cannon, shooting a Red Bullet Bill towards the heroes. A Hammer Bro from another Lakitu's cloud threw some hammers, and another Koopatrol threw several more Bob-Ombs from another cloud.

Rainbow Dash barely dodged from the Spiny Eggs, while avoiding a Bob-Omb that exploded next to her. Suddenly, a Bullet Bill came unnoticed and clipped her wing.

Rainbow Dash dropped at an alarming rate and just as she was about to hit the ground, Spyro, Tails, and Spike were able to catch her.

Before the flying enemies could attack again, Twilight quickly projected a magic bubble around the heroes, shielding them from the attacks.

A Lakitu was about to hurl another Spiny Egg, when Sparx flew into its eyes, blinding it, causing it to fire in the wrong direction and accidentally lodging the egg into a cannon in another Lakitu's cloud, causing it to explode. This set off a chain reaction as the flaming debris fell into the other clouds, some containing Bob-Ombs, causing them all to explode.

"Way to go, Sparx!" Spyro cheered as he and the dragonfly both share a high five.

Several burned debris rained down on the heroes, bouncing off the bubble.

"Hey Luigi!" Mario cried, walking out of the bubble and picking up a Spiny's shell. "Free helmet!"

"Oh yeah," Luigi agreed, as the two plumbers both put on empty shells of Spinies on their heads like helmets.

Meanwhile, Twilight was busy wrapping some bandages around Rainbow Dash's wounded wing.

"Hold still, Rainbow Dash," Twilight said, before she used some healing magics. "You'll feel better after this."

"Forget it, Twi. Just go without me," Rainbow hissed. "I'm not much good now that I'm grounded."

"No way, Dash!" Twilight exclaimed. "We didn't came all this way to leave you behind! We're all in this together!"

"Listen," Spike began. "As much as I hate to ruin this touching moment, but.... THE DEATH EGG IS LEAVING THE GROUND!"

The heroes turned to see billows of smoke flying out from the Death Egg's rocket engines, as the giant ship ascends into the sky.

"C'mon!" Sonic exclaimed. "Let's juice it!"

With that, all heroes ran after the speedy hedgehog as they boarded onto the Death Egg just in time.

"That was way too close for comfort!" Tails panted. "C'mon, let's go stop the Syndicates."

With that, the heroes made their way towards the bridge, battling more enemies along the way, and dodging some of the Death Egg's traps, until at last, they made it, to see Dr. Eggman and the other villains inside several capsules, attached to a globe-like device.

"Sorry it took too long for you, Eggman," Tails said. "But it ends here!"

"This is it, Egghead!" Sonic added. "We're here to stop your Doomsday Machine."

"And once we've stopped your evil plans," Rainbow Dash growled. "Then, I'm gonna have so much fun, kicking your plots repeatedly. Starting with you, Chrysalis!"

"And you'll be taking a one-way trip to the moon," Spike added.

Dr. Eggman cackled. "You heroes are persistence, I'll give you that! But perhaps you'll all change your minds, sooner or later, once we give you a demonstration of our combined powers together with the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald."

Dr. Eggman instantly pressed a button, and a voice was heard saying, "Universal Doomsday Super Genesis Wave countdown innitiated. Mobius destruction will commence in 5 minutes and counting. Have a nice day."

"Oh no, not again!" Sonic groaned, as he remembered what had happen the last time Dr. Eggman fired a Super Genesis Wave.

"Oh yes, again!" Dr. Eggman replied. "Once started, it can't be stopped, you see? I never got around to finishing the override switch," With that, he broke out into another fit of evil laughter.

"Are you crazy?" Spyro shouted. "You'll destroy yourselves too!"

"HA!" Kaos shouted. "That's where you are WRONG again, FOOL! As you can see, each of us are protected, within our very own Evil Special Protective Anti-Universal Super Genesis Wave Capsules OF DOOOOOOOOM!! HA HA HA HA HA! So technically speaking! We are safe, and you're not! Therefore, victory is at HANDS!! HA HA HA HA!"

Soon after, it was Bowser's turn to laugh, as he roared, "Give up, Mario! Not even the stars can save you now!"

"Oh no!" Luigi cried.

"Come on, a-Luigi!" Mario said. "We didn't a-come a-here to cry in a-defeat! We've a-got to a-disable that a-Doomsday a-Machine!"

"What kind of foals do you think we are?" Queen Chrysalis asked.

"That's right!" Dr. Eggman chortled. "We've come too far to be denied by you meddlers. Now then," Dr. Eggman slammed his fist on a button and a voice was heard saying, "Activating, Doomsday Defense System."

"Come on you guys!" Sonic cried as the heroes all got into their battle stances. "Remember everything we've been through! It all comes down to this!"

With that, the battle that determines the fate of worlds has begun.
