 Pre-CMD

Mobius-113 is universe within the Sonic Multiverse, where Phaton formed from the Phantom Ruby after arriving to this Mobius, after leaving Mobius-61. This version of Sonic aims to use the Phantom ruby to murder Sonic, and all his friends, in the hope to watch Mobius fall.

## History of Mobius-113 (Sonic.EXE Phantom Nightmare)

### Past

Phaton was a Sonic from another Mobius, who ended up coming across the Phantom Ruby one day as he wandered through Angel Island. However, upon grabbing it, he was thrusted into a dark void and stripped of all his free will, becoming a puppet to the game's true main antagonist, Talrareth. He is ordered to take over the dimension of the present-day Sonic the Hedgehog in Mobius-113, take on his form and begin to transform the dimension into his own personal playground.

### Sonic.EXE Phantom Beginning ACT 1

A little bit later, Tails arrived at Angel Island, where the Black Phantom is laid at. Tails had found it earlier on and visited Splash Hill to inform Sonic about it. After the two arrived at the island after a brief scuffle with Eggman, Sonic finds the Black Phantom, but gets sealed inside it by Phaton.

Soon after, he ambushes Tails within Angel Island's jungle, trapping him in a small cave while he transforms the island into a grayscale variant with soulless Flickies laid on the ground. Phaton then catches Tails following his discovery of one of the Chaos Emeralds, sending him to Dark Marble Zone. After Tails finds another Chaos Emerald, he bumps into Phaton, and the two have a short fight, which sends Tails off to Phantom Hill Zone. The young fox finds another Chaos Emerald before coming across Phaton again, disguised as Sonic. Making his intentions known, the Phantom Hedgehog begins chasing Tails through the landscape, eventually catching him and knocking him to the ground. Before he could finish Tails off, though, the ground crumbled, sending Tails down to a cavern which led him away from Phaton. But he had to get past Phaton's clones and pyrokinetic powers to truly escape through a warp ring.

Meanwhile, Knuckles had entered Metropolis Zone in search of something that could get the Master Emerald's power going again following recent events. He began searching, and eventually found a Chaos Emerald, but ended up falling into a warp ring created by Phaton, which led right to Mystic Cave Zone. Knuckles, uneasily, went through the cavern, collecting another Chaos Emerald on the way. He then came across Sonic, who was actually Phaton in disguise. After being sent to Ice Cap Zone, Knuckles pursued Phaton and defeated him in combat, escaping through a warp ring like Tails did.

Dr. Eggman had retreated back to his base in Metallic Madness Zone with a Chaos Emerald in tow. He proceeded to reactivate Metal Sonic and head onwards to search for the Master Emerald. After finding a suitable Egg Mobile and taking off into the skies, he was confronted by Phaton, the doctor immediately realising that it wasn't Sonic in front of him. Before he could attack, though, Phaton sent Eggman into a few illusions, monologuing about Eggman's constant failures to defeat Sonic and revealing his maniacal goals, but he is taken by surprise when Eggman shoots right at him. Phaton retaliates by warping Eggman to the Death Egg without his Egg Mobile. Knowing what to do, Eggman got his newest Death Egg Robot ready and took Phaton on in combat, defeating the Phantom Hedgehog. Knowing the threat is worse than he imagined, Eggman contacts Metal Sonic to prepare an army of Badniks at Marble Zone, before dropping down into the Hidden Palace.

Metal Sonic headed through Marble Zone to activate a Badnik army, collecting a Chaos Emerald on the way, but unsurprisingly, Phaton had beaten him there, and what's more, he had reprogrammed all of Marble Zone's Badniks. But Metal Sonic fought his way through them and deactivated them all, catching Phaton by surprise and setting off for the Hidden Palace.

The two heroes and two villains met up at the Master Emerald Shrine, where they all revealed the Chaos Emeralds they collected, but Tails doubted the odds of their success, recalling all of Phaton's powers, which Phaton himself caught the group by surprise.

Inside the Black Phantom, Sonic unintentionally saw Phaton's origins for himself, frightened at the thought of the Phantom Hedgehog dying. He vows to redeem Phaton, but is still stuck inside the Black Phantom. Back at the Hidden Palace, Phaton deliberately accuses Tails of leading his own best friend to his "inevitable demise", but Knuckles butts in on his mocking. Phaton then transformed into his alternate form, Hellsin, and directly received orders from Talrareth to finish the group off, with Knuckles showing visible confusion, due to the ghost being nowhere in visible sight, however, before Phaton could do so, the Chaos Emeralds nullified his powers, so he sent phantom clones of Tails, Knuckles and Eggman to deal with the group, but each character succeeded in defeating their phantom counterparts, much to Phaton's anger. He then proceeded to send Tails and Knuckles to Phantom Reverie, a world created by Phaton where all natural laws are extinct, but is ultimately defeated and forced to retreat.

### Sonic.EXE Phantom Beginning ACT 2

After Tails and Knuckles returned to Green Hill Zone, the Chaos Emeralds had scattered across the area. The two began their search for the Emeralds, but Phaton ambushed them and put them through another test of trials, as a direct act of revenge for his defeat from before. But, Although, sending the two to Aquatic Ruin Zone after a failed attempt to break their courage, Platon is defeated in a direct fight, sending Tails and Knuckles right to his lair in his fury.

Meanwhile, Eggman and Metal Sonic ended up in a hidden hangar, where they headed out to try and find Tails and Knuckles. They went through a darker version of Scrap Brain Zone, where Phaton caught them and tried to destroy them, eventually deciding he was done with games and sending them to his lair as well.

The group met up again, where Phaton appeared once more and explained his anarchical goals to the group, he revealed that he is from another timeline, where he was Sonic at one point. He was never the hero of Mobius, instead, he ruined it. before challenging them all in combat. Tails, believing that Phaton had to be saved for any hopes of bringing Sonic back, refused to directly wound Phaton, avoiding the phantom's attack and leaving him hanging on the edge of the arena. Tails then reached out for Phaton's hand, hoping to save him. However, Phaton slapped Tails' hand back, refusing to be saved and accepting his fate with an insane smile, falling down into the lava below. The group then leave the lair in order to fix the damage caused by Phaton.

### Sonic.EXE Phantom Midpoint

After Tails, Knuckles, Eggman and Metal Sonic left Phaton's lair, Talrareth resurrected the phantom, saying "Do not fail me again..."

### Travelling to other Dimensions

#### Mobius-13 (Exetior's universe)

Phaton secretly enter Mobius-13 while he is having a meeting with his servants and Negagen, the former two being unseen as they discuss about the arch-demon. Phaton says that they don't need Exetior's help, considering his goals and the fact that he's already got a lot of help. At this point, he's all set to proceed with his revenge on the heroes that defeated him last time.

Shortly after, Phaton is caught by Exetior before he can leave, and is thrusted into a fight with the arch-demon. Regardless of the outcome, Exetior offers him a place in his ranks following events that happened in the past, and Phaton takes that into consideration, but doesn't immediately accept. With this, he leaves to the next Mobius.

#### Mobius-166 (Jina's Demonised Mobius)

Planton visits Mobius-166, where he watches a battle between a Gap Demon, and the Demon Slayer Core. He irrupts their fight by possessing Jina, however Planton is pushed out by her pure-strength. This causes him retreat back to another Mobius.

#### Mobius-28 (Friendship...)

Planton visits Mobius-28, where he is greeted by a mist of nothingness. He wanders Emerald Hill Zone to find Sonic's biplane, along with the body of Miles 'Tails' Prower. A cold feeling washes over the hedgehog. Planton returns back from his already open warp ring, approaching the next Mobius.

#### Mobius-4 (The Eggman Empire wins)

Planton arrived in Mobius-4, where he appeared in a laboratory with many test pods everywhere. These test pods had the dead remains of the heroes, who have fallen. Planton stares at the one of them, and pressed his hand against it. Suddenly, A stranger shot a tranquilliser at him, it was Dr. Ivo Eggman. He fell to the ground, unconscious. The Doctor ordered Metal Sonic put him on the table, where he started his tests on him. The Doctor spent several days experiment on the hedgehog, and he made the greatest discovery of all time, the Multiverse. Suddenly, Planton woke up, he felt a bit drowsy, nonetheless, the hedgehog rushed out of room. Eggman demanded Metal Sonic to get his hands on that rodent. Metal Sonic attempted to catch Planton, but, he destroyed Metal Sonic with ease, to the shock of Eggman. Luckily, the ring was still on ground, where he fell, Planton grabbed the ring and travelled to the next Mobius.

#### Mobius-88 (Nuclear Apocalypse)

Planton arrived in Mobius-88, this mobius was a wasteland avoided of life. This confused the hedgehog, he wandered the wastelands, but since there was nothing here, Planton returned through the Giant ring, travelling to the next mobius.

#### Mobius-77710 (Ultraprime)

Planton arrived in Mobius-77710, where he appeared on a table, the people around stood back in shock. Planton introduced himself to the group of Mobians, however they didn't return the his greeting. The All-For Nothing Squad attack him altogether, and a fight breaks out. The whole base falls apart causing the battle take place outside, however Sepia puts an end to Planton's attack. Diamond used her Mobius power to cover him, and return him through the Warp Ring, where he returned to Mobius-113.

### Sally.EXE Phantom Discovery Prequel

Before proceeding with his revenge scheme, Phaton goes around Mobius, capturing several other Mobians, he even fought Chronos, Charlotte, Gyro, and may others, who have suffered, imprisoning them in his new base on the undefined island. Out of these characters, Shadow is the only one who breaks out early on.

### Sally.EXE Phantom Discovery Part 1

Phaton begins with pursuing Amy, posing as Sonic himself and getting her to follow him across Beach Coast Zone. He soon warped her into Marble Night Zone, where she collects a black variant of the iconic rings and escapes Phaton's pyrokinetic trap, similar to Tails from before. Phaton catches her by surprise, but gets knocked backwards. He introduces himself and reveals what really happened to Sonic, before attempting to kill Amy after his failed offer for her to join him as his second-in-command. But Knuckles arrives just in time and rescues her. Amy and Knuckles then proceed through Marble Garden Zone, coming across the Black Phantom. Against Knuckles' warning not to, Amy attacked the crystal, getting herself sent to another dimension.

Cream the Rabbit, meanwhile, had visited Studiopolis Zone for a small location with Tails, but after a bit of exploring, the two wonder right into Phaton's trap, the phantom being in his Hellsin form. Tails attempted to attack Phaton, but was easily defeated. Unsure what to do, Cream's confidence immediately surged up and, angered by Phaton insulting her by calling her "tubby", easily defeats Phaton, forcing him to retreat once again. After helping Tails up, Cream gives her friend a hug before heading inside the Flying Battery Airship, which Eggman had been using as a base ever since Phaton returned. After talking to the doctor, Tails and Cream set off for Press Garden Zone with hang-gliders, where the Black Phantom was. They both attacked it, but only Cream was sent off to another dimension. Tails and Knuckles met up and went back to the Flying Battery, where Eggman sent Metal Sonic out to search for Sally Acorn and ensure her safety.

Sally had been busy searching Chemical Plant Zone to figure out where her friends disappeared to, eventually unintentionally entering Phaton's new lair, the Ruby Factory. She entered a small arena where Metal Sonic was waiting, but they ended up fighting each other out of misunderstanding. Metal Sonic was defeated, and Phaton arrived to explain what happened to Amy and Cream. She questions who Phaton is and what he did with Sonic, which annoys Phaton, as apparently, he already heard the same "flipping hog-wash" so many times. He tries to kill Sally, but Metal Sonic is reawakened from the power of a Chaos Emerald Sally found earlier. He defeats Phaton and escapes back to the Flying Battery, with Phaton banishing Sally to another world himself.

The small group regather their thoughts once more, with Metal Sonic explaining what happened. He then feeds the coordinates for Phaton's lair into the Flying Battery's computer. Tails, initially mad at Phaton, is thrust through his mind into the Black Phantom, where Sonic encourages him and tells him not to give up. But while Tails was in a daze, Phaton had damaged the Flying Battery, sending it falling down and exploding. Tails woke up in time to find that out, and escaped with the others out to the island. They regrouped again and set off to the Ruby Factory through the skies once more.

### Sally.EXE Phantom Discovery Part 1.5 / Phaton's Time Trouble

Sometime after the events of the original Freedom Planet event, Phaton goes to the planet Avalice and begins corrupting it, capturing Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, Milla Basset, Commander Torque, and finally Lord Brevon. He also silences Sonic when he attempts to reason with him.

### Sally.EXE Phantom Discovery Part 2

Phaton orders many Sonic.EXEs to go out and wreak as much havoc as they please, before turning to a group of lookalikes in one of the rooms.

Amy first ends up within the dimension of Exegod, where she escapes with the Sonic of that timeline from the demon and Phaton, but this Sonic is unaware of her presence. She then ends up within the dimension of Exruby, and after a bit of a race through the demon's Virtual Reality, she meets up with the Tails of that world, who is actually aware of her presence, and they both defeat Exruby before Amy is warped back home. Inside the heart of Phaton's lair, he explains to Lilac about his twisted and insane plans, hoping to turn her into his a Phantomite, a mindless killing being that is directly based on a real person, but with a darker skin tone. He then reveals her captured friends, and refuses to let her go upon Lilac's threat, intensifying the electric barrier she is trapped in. Meanwhile, Shadow seems to be the only one that broke free of Phaton's grasp, and leads Tails, Knuckles, Eggman and Metal Sonic on their way to free the other captured prisoners.

Cream ends up in the timeline of the demon Dexelebeur, where she is unseen by the demon as he pursues his Eggman and Metal Sonic. After helping them escape through the Death Egg's control system, she escapes into a creepier area. She dashes through Dark Forest in her fear, managing to escape to a fight against Executior.

Phaton is soon distracted by Lilac.EXE, who had killed his predecessor, ExHeller, a while ago. This gives Prince Dail and Spade an opening to free the Avalician prisoners, with Torque slightly damaging the Black Phantom, and the Mobian group releasing their friends before fleeing the inside of the base. After Phaton returns from defeating Lilac.EXE, he finds that all the prisoners had escaped, and gets mad at Antitior and Exruby for failing to catch Amy, telling them to get back to their work. As if his day couldn't get any more haywire, the Black Phantom ends up shattering the heart of Phaton's base, flinging him out to the Ruby Factory, where he is met by Executor, ordered to bring Sally right into his hands, alive.

Sally escapes from Executor's repeated assaults, and fleeing from the ghost. The three girls finally return back home before Eggman faces Phaton off personally, defeating him with tricks that prove he doesn't have to sit in a flying car to fight. The phantom flees in anger, ready for his final assault.

### Sonic the Hedgehog : Phantom Finale

Following Phaton's defeat against Eggman, Sonic finally manages to get free of the Phantom Ruby, ending up inside Phaton's lair, where the phantom is having a meeting with the EXEs he allied with. He explains how disappointed he is with their failures, acknowledging Exetior's current state and convincing them to work together more, even causing most of them to panic after he threatens to kick them out of his army permanently. When Executior rudely silences Exrath, Phaton takes it seriously and warns Executior to keep focused and mind his language, reminding him of the type of dimension they're trying to conquer. This leads to an argument, while Exrath and Executor make a joke about Executior right behind his back, making him even more annoyed. After sending the other EXEs away, he annihilates Executior, banishing him away for disobeying his orders before leaving.

Sonic comes across his friends, as well as the Freedom Planet members, with Tails initially mistaking him for Phaton in disguise. But Sonic proves who he is before Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, Metal Sonic and Amy are ambushed. Sonic takes this as an opportunity to try and convince Phaton to let go of his twisted ways. This caused him to go into panic and send everyone away to many different areas. He tries to calm down, and convinces his original self to help him, of which the latter finally agrees and fuses with him, therefore granting the former his memories and feelings of remorse. When Phaton attempts to kill himself, Sonic stops him, finally convincing him that there's a chance to fix everything.

Sonic and Phaton soon find the group in a minor daze, and once they're all back on their feet, Knuckles explains that the Master Emerald may be the only way to stop Talrareth, but Phaton brings about worrying news; Talrareth already took it away. Once they all reach the top, Talrareth ambushes the group and transforms the Master Emerald into the Phantom Emerald, in turn shattering Phaton's free will and giving him unlimited power. A long fight ensues at this point, with the heroes eventually emerging victorious as Phaton falls down to possible death. Sonic mourns his failure to save Phaton as the being falls with a smile on his face. However, he hears cruel, mocking voices hating him for who he is. His free will comes flowing back as he begins to cry for the first time in ages, finally falling into a cave underneath Phantom Hill. He confronts SoniKiller, but is completely frightened of him. Before he dies, though, Nitro rescues him, leading him out of the cave into a factory where Talrareth is experimenting on Exesume, a virus that refused all offers for help. Before Phaton and Nitro could directly confront the ghost, Talrareth creates the Phantom Ultimatanium, corrupting the majority of Mobius in the process. Before Talrareth could attempt to finish the two hedgehogs off, though, Sonic races along and rescues them, taking them right back to Green Hill before engaging in an unnecessary argument with his student. It's only Amy's intervention that stops the argument and calms both hedgehogs down.

Following this, Phaton restores all of Avalice's occupants and transports all the surviving Mobians there, where he admits to his crimes and apologises to the Magister for what he did, resolving to help with stopping Talrareth's plan.

Every surviving Mobian prepares for the direct assault on the Phantom Ultimatanium, Chronos breaks the Phantom Emerald, leading to the end of the exes, but after Sonic and Phaton directly confront Talrareth, they are soon defeated, flung right back down to Earth. Talrareth uses this as an opportunity to annihilate all of the survivors, as well as all three of the humans. Phaton, through Finn's mind, saves him from being killed by Talrareth and gives him a fighting chance to save everyone.

After Phaton wakes up back on Mobius, he carries Sonic all the way to the Hidden Palace Zone, with aid from long lost human souls, and transforms himself into Phantom Phaton, fighting alongside Super Sonic in their final conflict against Talrareth. Before Phaton finishes Talrareth off, he witnesses the ghost's past, and is initially hesitant to destroy Talrareth, but the ghost's words and expression said it all.

After Talrareth died, Phaton reverted back to how he was before the events of the Phantom Saga, looking identical to the real Sonic, but with purple-ish fur, lighter skin and darker eyes, as if he was older than Sonic. After the human souls return home to Earth, Phaton has a bit of a giggle at Sonic's joke towards Eggman, who is planning on forgetting what happened and continuing his evil schemes.

### Returning to Normal

Suddenly, A Warp ring appears behind the heroes, they lay their eyes upon the golden ring, until someone steps out of it. Zmes appears, and states that Mobius-61 Sonic the Hedgehog is under arrest for violating rule six of the Multiversal Law Manuscript, and has seven accounts of Multiversal Breaches. The heroes get into a fighting stance, however Zmes isn't bothered by this, and uses a memory bang, which disorientates them. The Pink hedgehog grabs Phanton and returns him to Mobius-61.
