## Plot

Act 3 of the crossover begins with GX Cream looking at a picture of GX Tails and crying. An Angel Chao, GX Cheese, lands on her head and GX Cream remembers an event from three years prior: GX Team Hooligan are about ready to attack her, when GX Tails hops out of nowhere with an energy cannon and knocks out the trio. GX Tails asks GX Cream if she’s okay and while blushing, GX Cream confirms she’s fine. GX Tails got the police to arrest both the guys that hired GX Team Hooligan and GX Team Hooligan themselves when he knocked them out and GX Tails leads GX Cream to safety. Upon getting close to GX Tails’ face by accident, her ears accidentally knock GX Tails out in fear. Back in the present, GX Cream wonders if she’s making the same mistakes GX Amy did with GX Sonic and worries she’ll be alone. She starts to move off in the direction of the Thorndyke Mansion, unaware of the shadowy presence there.

In the basement of the Thorndyke Mansion, Cream is praying that her friends will be alright and Chuck gives her reassurance. Sonic breaks said reassurance as some shadows slam him into a wall. Sally wonders what’s happening when Vincent shows up. GX Sonic realizes Vincent tricked them and Celeborn tries to dispel Vincent with a magic arrow, only for him to absorb it and summon shadow snakes that surround the heroes. He’s about ready to turn GX Sally into a demon as revenge for seemingly killing him, when suddenly, Shadow bursts into the room by shooting a Chaos Spear at Vincent, Team Dimension tailing behind him. Sonic asks how Shadow managed to get there, to which the black blur responses he sensed Maria in distress. Maria scolds Shadow for strong language usage and Vincent remarks that the four of them are quite powerful. Shadow admits Vincent has no strength over those who don’t believe and he proves this by not even flinching once when Vincent uses his claw on him and he doesn’t have wounds, either. GX Sonic realizes the snakes are holographic and they vanish before his eyes. Hope scrambles up at the realization and Silver tells the others to stop believing the snakes are real to stop the snakes and Vincent attacking. They do so and Shadow explains that Vincent put a piece of his soul in the darkness and Blaze explains that without his body, Vincent only has the power of mind manipulation. Just then, Infinite makes himself known to the group and removes the roof of the mansion as a giant before shrinking to normal size. He punches Shadow hard enough to create a sonic boom and Shadow’s arm comes off. Silver is horrified as he knew the Phantom Ruby doesn’t have that kind of power according to his grandfather, but, Infinite affirms that different worlds have different rules and he broke Silver’s legs. Enraged, Shadow rushes forward with all his Inhibitor Rings off and rams into Infinite with full force. Both hedgehog and jackal fly away into the air away from the mansion and NICOLE informs Sally that they’ll need Hyper Forms as Infinite is a Speed/Power/Fly/Elemental/Balance and has an Affinity for all the Basic Affinities and Reality. GX Manic is confused, but, Sonia tells him it doesn’t matter at this stage. GX Sonic then turns into his Hyper Form and shares the power with GX Sonia and GX Manic while Tails takes Silver to Maria to heal him from his injury. While GX Sonia and GX Manic go out to find Infinite and Shadow, GX Sonic quickly comes back to lend some of his power to Sonic, but, much to his surprise, Sonia and Manic turn Hyper as well without him being close to them and GX Sally kisses GX Sonic for luck. GX Sonic is even more surprised to find out that Sally can turn Hyper, too, and the hedgehogs and Sally all rush out to save Shadow, as Maria informs them his Chaos Form can’t be kept up for too long.

Shadow’s breath gets more labored as he performs a Chaos Blast on Infinite and the jackal is unfazed by his attacks. Sonic leaps in just in time to punch Infinite back, and Shadow steps back to let the “true ultimate lifeforms” face off against Infinite as he puts his Inhibitor Rings back on. Sonia attacks with a Hyper Sonia Screw, which has a spiral of Chaos Energy on her normal attack. Same thing had applied with Manic’s Hyper Wind Fist. Infinite then performs a Hyper Earth Fist to cancel the attack and Sonic and Sally perform a Double Spin Dash which only hurts Infinite a little bit. Hope realizes the powers are off the scales and GX Tails spots GX Cream approaching him in surprise and she mentions she came out of the portal. GX Tails leads GX Cream into the house to safety, just as GX Sonic uses a Hyper Sonic Wind on Infinite. He dodges unfortunately and then summons a Elemental Meteor Storm which is energy bullets of all his various Affinities. Mina tries to protect the Thorndyke Mansion with a Song Wall, and while this lasts for a bit, her voice gives out. Ray throws a dart into Infinite’s eye to blind him and he Chaos Controls himself and the Hyper Mobians to a wasteland. He restores his eye and Sally realizes they needed a Hyper Combo to stop Infinite once and for all, with all of them attacking together. GX Sonic warps the group to space and uses a meteor with his wind powers to send a meteor into Infinite’s eye. His mask comes off and the group realize Infinite doesn’t have a face and they all charge at Infinite at the same time with a Hyper Boost. He starts to disintegrate as GX Sonic removes the Phantom Ruby from his chest and shatters his skull as act three ends.
