Obtaining Scourge's Time Stone, Mephiles caused Sonic to change into a Werehog, who's howl summoned Blaze and the Sol Emeralds. Finally merging with Iblis aswell as Sally's Core, Mephiles became the super-dimensional lifeform known as Solaris, which enveloped Mobius in a pure white light! After figuring out how to defeat Solaris, the group of Tails, Blaze, Lara-Su, Silver, Eggman, Amy and Shadow went in search of the Chaos Emeralds while TodStar and Scoruge stayed behind hold off Sonic.
Can our heroes (and Eggman) return with the Chaos Emeralds in time? Can the Emeralds restore Sonic to his true self? And what has become of Sally's Core and Iblis, now that they are part of Solaris? Find out in the next chapter of The Solaris Merger!

Chapter Fifthteen: Saving All of Time

Sonic now had both Scourge and TodStar tightly in his massive hands, before he decided to strangle them. Little did any of them know that some of the dark energy within Sonic had started to flow into Scourge, causing him to change... {3}
"Ngh... what?" Scourge asked himself before he started groaning from internal pains, which made Sonic stop strangling him and TodStar.
"Scourge... you right?" Asked TodStar, as Scourge's quills started getting furry and darker.
"I... don't need... your sympathy... echidna..." Scourge replied in a low, grumbling voice as he red sunglasses fell off his head. Suddenly, Scourge broke free from Sonic's grasp and revealed his new look: Basically the same as Sonic's current look, except he still had his black jacket on, his shoes had gained spikes, and his eyes were the same as before he changed, unlike Sonic. Seeing Scourge's new look, Sonic threw TodStar to the ground and engaged the green werehog. {4}
"Okaaay... I'd better let Scourge handle this one..." TodStar thought out loud as he crept back while watching Sonic and Scourge wail on each other!

After Scourge threw him away, Sonic ran back towards him on all fours, only for Scourge to grab Sonic's head to jump over him! This made Sonic quite angry, before he threw a punch at Scourge, who was still airborne. Scourge was ready however, and caught Sonic's fist with both of his hands, before throwing him over his head and down to the ground!
"Oh, yeah. That's right, baby." Scourge said with his new grumbly voice, before he picked Sonic up by his chest. Once he held Sonic up in the air, Scourge punched him to the other side of the area!
"Sonic!" Cried TodStar as Scourge roared. [*1]
"How do you like that, huh?!" He teased as Sonic got to his feet again. As he saw Sonic show his teeth at Scourge, TodStar stepped in between them.
"Scourge, what did I tell you mate?!" He angrily asked the green werehog.
"Hey, I'm only holding Blue off until the others get back. Chill out." Scourge replied before he and Scourge ran towards each other on all fours. Before they could jump at each other, everyone who left to collect the Chaos Emeralds had returned in between them!
"Quick, everyone hold Sonic down!" Shouted Silver as he used Psychokinesis to gather the Chaos Emeralds into a circle, before joining everyone except TodStar on top of Sonic. Soon, the Chaos Emeralds rose up from the ground and started to circle everyone, while Sonic was trying to move around. Eventually, the Chaos Emeralds disappeared, and four hedgehogs emerged from the pile with a gold aura around each of them. {5}

"*sigh* Man, I'm glad I'm outta that furry nightmare!" Said Sonic, after he noticed that his fur had returned to smooth and sharp quills, although they were a golden colour, aswell as pointing up, and his eyes were now red. [*2] {6}
"Too bad, cause I was havin' fun, kicking your butt for the greater good." Scourge said to him, as his spines had returned to the same style as Sonic's were at the moment, except they were purple. Scourge's jacket now had blue flames on it instead of red, and his sunglasses reappeared on his head, but they were also blue. Scourge's eyes were red like Sonic's, but he had black all around his irises.
"Yeah, I'll get you back for that later, Scourge..." Sonic told him. "*chuckle* Nice paint job, by the way." This made Scourge shrug.
"As good as it is to have you back Sonic, we need to focus on the task at hand..." Shadow pointed out as his coat disappeared, and his quills turned a lemony-gold colour.
"Yeah, where is that Mephiles jerk?" Asked Sonic, smacking his fist into his palm. "He's gonna pay for what he did to Sally..."
"Up there. He's merged with Sally's Core and Iblis." Silver replied, unaware that he too, underwent a change: His quills turned a white-gold as the qulls on the back of his head raised slightly, and his eyes turned red, aswell.
"Okay, then. We all gonna work together on this?" Sonic asked the other three hedgehogs, who nodded in response. "Then for Sally and Iblis... let's do it to it!" After saying that, Super Sonic, Super Scourge, Super Shadow and Super Silver all flew up towards the light above them, while everyone else down below looked up and mentally wished them all luck...

When the four super-powered hedgehogs approached their target, they were greeted by a laser fired from a beast that Scourge had seen before... {7}
"Yeah, that's Solaris, all right..." He told the other three, after they all dodged the attack.
"Whoa, that's not a nice welcome!" Exclaimed Sonic.
"Focus, Sonic." Shadow told him before pointing at certain areas of Solaris. "Something tells me that we need to target those shells on his arms and chest."
"I'll go in first." Said Silver as he flew closer to Solaris.
"All right boys, let's give Silver some cover!" Sonic told Shadow and Scourge.
"Okay."
"Whatever."

"This is the end. Prepare to meet your doom!" Silver shouted at Solaris, before the beast produced orbs that fired black spiked balls at him. Silver used his powered-up Psychokinesis to grab every last ball thrown at him, then threw them back at its left arm, but they didn't seem to have any effect... "Darn it! Sonic, think you could leave a dent in that armor?"
"Sure. Just wait 'til I give you the word!" Sonic replied as he soared towards the same arm Silver attacked, while the formerly silver hedgehog continued to catch what Solaris threw at him. Sonic then smacked his fist into one of Solaris' arms, leaving a big crack. "And there's the chink in your armor. Now, Silver!" Having saved a great deal of what was thrown at him, Silver threw every last ball into Solaris' left arm, destroying its shell!
"Okay Shadow, you're up!" Silver pointed out as he and Sonic flew out of range, allowing Shadow to step in as red orbs of Chaos Energy appeared in his hands.
"A super-dimensional being? Hmph... this might even be a fair fight!" He said before throwing about twenty Chaos Spears at Solaris' right arm. But like Silver's counter-attack, it had no effect. "Dammit. Scourge, can you back me up?"
"Yeah, I'm on it." Scourge replied as he flew towards the same arm at a high speed, while Shadow charged up Chaos Energy again. "I'm comin' for ya, Mephiles!" Scourge roared as he charged into Solaris' arm, but he flew away before Shadow's Chaos Spears could destroy the shell.
"It's up to you, Sonic!" Shadow told his biological son as he flew away, allowing Sonic to fly into the action.

"Whaddya say, Scourge? A little tag-team action?" He asked his clone.
"Fine. But only cause I'm callin' dibs on Mephiles when we're done." Scourge replied, before he and Sonic started circling around Solaris.
"All right Solaris, get ready to deal with twice the super-sonic-speed!" Said Sonic, before Scourge impacted Solaris' chest shell at a high speed, causing a large crack to appear.
"Oh, you are so mine, Mephiles!" He said before Sonic did the same attack, shattering the shield.
"We gotta save Sally and Iblis first, dude." Sonic told Scourge, but the formerly green hedgehog didn't listen.
"Not if I beat you to the punch!" He replied as he charged towards the red light in the center of the chest.
"Scourge, stop!" Shouted Sonic as he tried to dive down at his clone, but Scourge had already hit his mark, causing Solaris to fall into the abyss below. {8}
"Is it over?" Asked Silver, as he and Shadow joined Sonic.
"C'mon, that's gotta be it!" Shouted Scourge as he joined the other three. "I totally dealt that creep a serious blow!"
"No... it's not over yet..." Shadow pointed out, before they all saw Solaris rise up to their level, except it appear to have wings instead of a sun symbol behind it.
"I guess it's not gonna be that easy, after all..." Added Sonic, before frowning at Scourge. "You got lucky, Green."

"Looks to me like you boys could use a hand..." Said a familiar voice from behind the four hedgehogs. When they all turned around, they saw Blaze, but her fur had turned pink, and her clothes were now red instead of purple.
"Blaze..." Exclaimed Shadow, as Silver had her confused with someone else, while Scourge wolf-whistled at her.
"Sure, Blaze." Sonic replied, giving her the thumbs-up. "The more, the merrier." {9}
"If you say so..." Muttered Scourge, before Solaris fired another laser attack at them.
"I can feel it... Iblis is in great pain..." Blaze pointed out.
"Okay, I got a plan..." Sonic said as the five of them gathered again. "Silver, you block whatever comes our way. Shadow, you and Blaze cover me and Scourge while we go on the offensive." All four of them nod in agreement.

Silver attempted to catch whatever Solaris threw at him, but there were plenty more orbs firing balls at him now.
"Grr... Mephiles' hold on Iblis must be getting stronger..." He thought out loud, while Shadow fired Chaos Spears at what balls Silver couldn't catch, and Blaze did the same with her fireballs.
"Dammit... it's no good, Sonic." Shadow said to the former blue hedgehog.
"His attacks are too constant." Added Blaze.
"I'm not giving up that easily!" Scourge said as he and Sonic charged for the center of Solaris. Their attack was stopped when Solaris fired a laser at both of them.
"Shoot!" Shouted Sonic as he punched the air in front of him, while Scourge looked at him with his hands on his hips.
"What now, fearless leader?" He sarcastically asked, before Silver suddenly thought of something...
"I've got an idea, but we all need to work together." He said to everyone as they all gathered. "Here's what we're gonna do..."

About a minute later, Sonic and Scourge flew towards Solaris again.
"All right. Remember the plan, Scourge?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah yeah, just don't get in my way." Scourge replied, before they split up to start circling Solaris, causing it to concentrate its attack on those two hedgehogs. Little did Solaris know that Shadow, Silver and Blaze were waiting for their moment...
"Are you ready, Shadow?" Asked Silver, as the Ultimate Lifeform was allowing Chaos Energy to build up inside of him.
"All set." He replied, before looking at Blaze behind them. "What about you, Blaze?"
"I'm ready." Was all she said before Silver managed to grab hold of Solaris using his Super Psychokinesis.
"CHAOS... CONTROL!!" Shadow screamed as he threw an orb of Chaos Energy at Solaris, stopping time from advancing around the being. "Now, Blaze!"
"It's time, Iblis..." She said as she presented herself. "Come back to me..." Soon, a flame emerged from Solaris and snaked its way back into Blaze's body. "*sigh* It's good to have you back inside me, Iblis..." {10}

As the time-flow returned to normal, Mephiles was forced to revert back to his crystalline form... and he was furious.
"NO!!" He screamed in total anger. "YOU CANNOT SEPERATE ME FROM IBLIS!!"
"That's funny... cause I think we just did." Sonic replied before extending his hand out to Mephiles. "Now gimme Sally's Core."
"NEVER!!" Shouted Mephiles as he allowed an orb of dark energy to appear above his head. "YOU FOOLS CANNOT DENY ME MY DESTINY!! I AM TIME AND SPACE!!" Before Mephiles could attack Sonic, Scourge Spin Dashed into his back, before turning him around and repeatedly punched him in the face!
"Ohh yeah, it's payback time, 'Master!'" He teased as he continued to pummel at Mephiles' face, while Sonic was building up energy...
"This is for you, Sal..." Sonic softly said before he blasted towards Mephiles at a speed he had only acheived one other time. In mere seconds, Sonic's right hand went right through Mephiles' chest, and came out the other end with Sally's Core in hand!
"And for the grand finale..." Said Scourge, before revealing a large black jewel that terrified Mephiles as he started to melt...
"Th-the Ancient Onyx?!" Mephiles asked in horror as he continued to melt. "Where did you get that?!"
"Oh, I could tell everyone that story..." Scourge replied before he held it up to Mephiles, who had begun to unintentionally fly into the jewel.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!" Screamed Mephiles until he was completely sealed within the Ancient Onyx.
"But you'll never know." Scourge said with a smirk on his face, before holding the jewel up to Blaze. "Care to do the honors?"
"With pleasure." Blaze replied as he threw a large fireball at the Ancient Onyx, shattering it into unbelievably tiny pieces in the process.

After the Ancient Onyx was destroyed with Mephiles inside it, the five super-powered Mobians returned to where everyone else was below. It was then that Super Sonic knelt down to Sally's unconscious body with her Core in hand. {11}
"Please, Chaos... let this work..." He said as tears began to fill his eyes, and dropped her Core back into her chest. Eventually Sally groaned, making everyone who gathered gasp.
"...Sonic?" She weakly asked after she had slowly opened her eyes.
"Oh, Sally!" Exclaimed Sonic as he hugged her while hiding his tears. Just then, Amy approached the two.
"Sonic... Sally..." She said to get their attention. "I've been wanting to say this for a while, but... I'm sorry for the way I acted around you, Sally. And Sonic, I am happy that you've found someone." [*3] Both Sonic and Sally were shocked to hear these words coming out of Amy's mouth. "Can you two ever forgive me?"
"Sure." Sally replied as she smiled at the pink hedgehog. "I forgive you."
"C'mon Amy, I can't stay mad at you..." Sonic told her. "You're one of my best friends." Amy was so overcome with joy that she not started crying, but she hugged Sonic tighter than ever before, but since he was still Super, he didn't feel any pain. When Sonic hugged her back, a familiar ring had returned around Amy's finger. [*4] At that moment, Shadow put his hand on Sonic's shoulder.
"C'mon Sonic, we need you for this." He told him.
"Right." Sonic replied before all four super-powered hedgehogs floated above the group.
"Chaos... CONTROL!!" They all shouted, creating an orb of light similar to the one that sent them all to that place...
