"Okay this is bad on every level," Twilight said. "Zavok has gone giant and blasting fireballs, and threw up the Zombots leaving nowhere to run!"

"Sonic, better have a plan or I'm so going to haunt you!" Knuckles said as he punched Zombot Shadow. "We need them away from the Master Emerald and others, so get moving!"

"You heard the man! Silver? Rainbow?" Sonic took off.

"Right behind you!" As Silver and Rainbow were behind him.

"Hey Metal! We need you as well!" Rainbow called him.

"It's the only way to save me!" Eggman said. "Activate your defensive measures and do as he says!"

Metal Sonic lifts Sonic in the air while Silver flies alongside them with the Chaos Emeralds. Giant Zavok sees the trio and mockingly asks if this is all they can muster as their last line of resistance. Although his means of creating more Metal Virus has been destroyed, he still commands the Zombots; he announces that he will use them to infect every last inch of the world, determined to see it grow sick and perish. As he says this, Giant Zavok throws another handful of Zombots at the trio, which Metal Sonic narrowly dodges with swift flying maneuvers. Sonic then tells the robot to head straight for the Chaos Emerald on Giant Zavok's chest.

Giant Zavok shoots out another fireball at Sonic and Metal Sonic. It appears to engulf the duo in flames, much to Silver's dismay; after the smoke clears, it is revealed that Metal Sonic had actually activated his Black Shield to protect the both of them. Sonic remarks that he is glad that he and Tails did not deactivate him when they had the chance. Giant Zavok reaches out and tries to grab Sonic and Metal Sonic, only for Silver to put place a barrier between the duo and the Zeti's hand. As Metal Sonic deactivates his shield, Sonic thanks Silver for his help and tells him not to drop the Chaos Emeralds; Silver tells him to just focus on getting the last Emerald. With the Emerald in sight, Sonic tells Metal Sonic to fly him in close; before they can do anything, Zavok exhales a mighty breath to blow the duo straight into the ground below.

As Sonic sits up, he meets Orbot and Cubot. The former suggests that Sonic should start running, but the hedgehog admits that his infection has overcome his speed. Orbot clarifies that he was suggesting Sonic run from the Zombots surrounding him. As Sonic readies himself for a fight, he asks his friends to give him a little bit longer. On the island, Tails desperately tries to fly away from Cheese and Chocola but cannot shake them; Knuckles suffers a strike from Shadow; Whisper is approached by Tangle but struggles to fight against her; Espio dodges attacks from both Vector and Charmy; Eggman finds himself crawling away from Big as he slowly approaches him.

Amy jumps in and hits Big with her hammer, only to see that it did not do anything. Suddenly, she is kicked into the cat by Eggman, thanking her for slowing Big down for him. As Amy is infected, Eggman continues his escape, planning to get to the Rescue Shuttle and leave for himself. Unfortunately for him, he slips on a Zombot Froggy, who jumps high into the air to land on the terrified doctor. Knuckles continues to pummel Shadow into the earth, despite being almost fully engulfed by his infection, but the Zombot hedgehog finally stops the assault by grabbing his fist. The echidna completely succumbs to the Metal Virus shortly afterward, turning to Tails who is fearfully asking Sonic for help as Cheese and Chocola pin his tails down to infect him.

Down below, Sonic and Rainbow Dash try to escape the clutches of several Zombots who are piling up on him; Metal Sonic arrives to hit the infected off of the hedgehog. Sonic then asks for Metal Sonic to take him back up to Zavok. The Zeti tells them to accept their fate, saying that he has lost and all machines were his to control. With this, Giant Zavok forcibly takes control of Metal Sonic and flings him backward, forcing them to run up his body. As they pull the Chaos Emerald out from Giant Zavok's chest, he yells for Silver to initiate their plan. Both of them fall with the Emerald as Sonic's infection nears its completion, prompting Silver to fly towards them with the rest of the Emeralds. As Sonic closes his eyes and Silver, Rainbow and Twilight approach him, Giant Zavok attempts to clasp his hands around the three of them.

In a white flash, Super Sonic, Super Silver, Rainbowifed Twilight, and Rainbow Dash appear unharmed.

"Alright dudes, ready to save the world?" Rainbow asked.

"Give me one second to take care of him," Sonic said.

"I shall crush you where you stand you---!" Zavok said but got interrupted Super Sonic delivers a flurry of blows that send him flying back into the debris of the Faceship, reduced to his normal size.

"That seems anticlimactic," Sliver said.

"No time for fancy especially since the Warp Topaz doesn't look like it's handling all this power too well."

"Me and Sonic we'll handle the warp portal, you and Silver handled the rest!" Rainbow said.

"Got it!" Sliver replied. "Ready. Twilight!"

"Reday," Twilight exclaimed then startred to chat. "Guyte shtati kevils art toy!"

Sliver and Twilight extracted the Metal Virus from every turning them back to normal.

"They did it!" Tails cheer as he held Cheese and Chocola

"Hooray!" Amy hugged Big.

"Amy?" Big asked being confused.

The Chaotix Crusders hummerd their jingle, while the villans sigh in relived.

"Holy shit, I can't belive the chat worked. Where are you sending it?" Twilight asked.

"Dumping where it can't hurt anyone ever again!" Sonic open a portal and toss the Metal Virus into the hot sun. "Now hang on, it's for Super Sonic Speed!"

Super Sonic, Silver and Rainbow Colored Ponies decide to speed things up by flying over the entire planet several times at supersonic speed.

"How were looking?" Rainbow asked.

"We're good, I can't dectet a drop of it!" Sliver said. "Oh Crap, the Wrap Topaz can't handle it!"

"Well time to get of thing that casue our problems!" Twilight said as a large explosion occurs that thrusts Silver and Rainbow, now back to normal, back onto Angel Island which Amy, Kuckles, Pinkie, Rairty, Starlight and Applejack to run toward them.

"Silver? Rainbow? Are you two okay?" Applejack

"We're fine, i been through a lot worse," Rainbow said. "But it's finally, the Metal Virus is destroyed but the Starline was right about the stone could't take it."

"And where Sonic and Twilight?" Starlight asked.

"They tried to ditch in a portal but..." Silver explained as fear the thought that Twilight and Sonic are gone.
