SL4SH, Fatal-Error, Requital, and Majin Sonic were just about to recruit you into their faction. But before you can even process the offer, a violent swirl tears open behind them—a dimensional rift summoned by Xeno himself. Without hesitation, the quartet steps through, dragging you with them into the corrupted domain

[Xenophyte] “The quartet! Of FOOLS! YOU… Are in MY domain now!”

SL4SH disappeared in a column of black smoke and reappeared just behind Xenophyte

[SL4SH] “Xenophyte! We are here for one reason, and one reason only”

Requital advanced, twirling his sickles chained together

[Requital] “To see to it that you fall lifeless”

Majin Sonic stretched carelessly

[Majin Sonic] “My body is ready! This isn't my first throwdown hoedown ballroom powwow with your type”

Xenophyte looked away, his frown meeting Fatal Error's imperturbable figure. The two faced each other, the air between them vibrating with visceral hatred

[Xenophyte] “Something about your guise… irks me so”

[Fatal Error] “I'll spare not a word for you, invader”

In that Xeno remembers the event of: "Fatal Invasion", the confrontation where both fought to claim BF's soul, interrupting the other's conquest in a chaotic three-way fight, BF ended up defeating them

[Xenophyte] “So you are that one. Hahaha! What poesy that you are the one to invade now”

[Requital] “Ugh, shut up already and fight me, crystals!”

Without further warning, the quartet launches into the attack, Xenophyte levitated above all of you, dodging as he teleported. Sharp crystals emerged from the void around him, shooting towards his enemies. Then, with a gesture, he set the sky ablaze. A rain of crimson fire fell upon them all

The battle raged like a contained hell. When the pressure finally fell on Xenophyte, SL4SH cast a quick glance at the group

[SL4SH] “We must take him as one—now, while we have the chance!”

Xenophyte grunts and then laughs, his twisted mouth revealing a perverse delight

[Xenophyte] “Haha… at last, a challenge to savor. Hmhmhm… occupy them, my souls, while I reassess my stratagem”

With a snap of his claws, he vanished in a burst of static. From the shadows, three decaying figures emerged—dragged forward like lifeless puppets: Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman

[Requital] “Coward! Only a weakling has others fight in their stead!”

[Fatal Error] “Our fight is not with you. Move aside, puppets”

[Tails, Knuckles, Eggman](in unison) “Our will… is not our own”

The corrupted trio attacked as one, and the quartet engaged them in a brutal confrontation. In the midst of it all, Xenophyte returned and took advantage of the distraction, distorting reality and transporting everyone, including you, into a bottomless, ceilingless underwater abyss

[Xenophyte] “DROWN!”

The crushing depths engulfed them. The pressure increased. But Majin Sonic suddenly pulled out a Warp-Ring and threw it into the water. One by one, the team fought their way out and reappeared behind Xenophyte, striking him with perfect coordination. Xenophyte growled, stumbling. For the first time, Majin Sonic crossed his arms, visibly annoyed

[Majin Sonic] “I'm all for games, Xenophyte, but even I've grown tired of watching your pitifully miserable existence of subjugation and masochism”

[SL4SH] “Your false reign was folly from the start! And now, we seek the coup de grâce!”

Xeno, enraged, stomps his feet. Reality trembles. Fire emerges from the cracks, floating structures deform

[Xenophyte] “This is MY world! It's MY art! You are nobody, you annoying little-"

Xenophyte begins to rise, his arms open, power bursting from every line of his body

[Xenophyte] “This can't be how it ends! I… am a GOD!… and a god does NOT FEAR DEATH!”

The quartet standing next to you prepare to face him one last time

[SL4SH] “What is a god with none to praise it?”

[Fatal] “Naught but a hollow shell that bleeds”

[Requital] “The red painted across the canvas of the world”

[Majin] “And though you may be no god…”

[SL4SH, Fatal, Requital, Majin] “We have walked the path… TO DEICIDE!”
