Summary

 * Previous Part

As most of the heroes are spent, Sigma-3 while surrounded by a red aura proceeds to gloat, asking what Super Sonic and Super Mega Man can do to stop him, especially when he commands the power of worlds and was at the cusp of becoming a god. Super Sonic then retorts that it's going to hurt even worse when they knock Sigma off his high horse, with Super Mega Man declaring that his evil ends here and now. Super Sonic attempts to hit Sigma-3 with a Spin Dash while Mega Man fires a charged shot from his Mega Buster, but Sigma-3 proceeded to deflect both with his right and left hand, respectively. Zero then angrily laments that they're sitting in the sidelines when they should be doing something. Mega Man X then stated that they at least have Mega Man and Sonic fighting Sigma-3, which is better than nothing. However, Sally Acorn then states that their efforts may not be enough, with Nicole explaining to them what she just told Sally that she had scanned the background radiation spectrum and discovered that Sigma's abuse of the Genesis Portals is causing reality to be shredded, meaning even if Sigma is stopped, it may be too late due to the damage potentially being too severe to repair. X then realizes that it means they aren't on the sidelines yet and gathers the heroes they gathered with the order to rally to their homeworlds, as they'll need to evacuate.

Meanwhile, Dr. Wily, Dr. Eggman, and Xander Payne managed to find the Master Engine, with Wily and Eggman declaring they have found the answer to their problems. Xander then inquires if they can gain control of the device and stop Sigma, which Wily and Eggman confirm, although it becomes very clear that they're more concerned with rewriting reality to match their desires than actually trying to stop Sigma and save the world, despite the readings that reality has catastrophic damage. Xander, however was unhappy with this, realizing full well this meant what he had feared would happen with advanced technology would come to pass. He also realized he has a missing piece to the puzzle, knowing he was supposed to save the world as predicted, but wasn't sure what it was.
