The hedgehog slowly climbed to his feet, his eyes still closed.
"Murder, what's going on?"
Killer was badly startled by the hedgehog and hurriedly drew her dagger, ready to fight.
"Hurry up and fuse again! None of us can beat that Horror Sonic alone!!!"
"No need."
Murder wasn't nervous at all.
"Take a closer look at that hedgehog's eyes."
The hedgehog slowly opened his eyes-he had returned to normal!
Normal whites, emerald-green pupils.
It seemed there was no need to fight anymore.
"...Thank you so much for this...visitors from another world..."
Sonic's voice drifted out slowly. This time, it was genuinely pleasant to hear.
Killer recalled the sound the hedgehog had made before. It had been like scrubbing a tire with a toothbrush.
It had sounded like absolute S.h.i.t.
After that, the entire world gradually returned to peace.
All that deliberately manufactured horror vanished too.
Even the little animals that had been killed came back to life, almost making the three think they were trapped in an illusion.
Sonic invited the three to stay in his world, where they would be treated as the heroes who had saved it.
But all three refused.
After a brief farewell, Killer swiped some of this world's specialty, Gold Rings.
Then they left this Multiverse.
The spacetime corridor.
"Killer, what's that you've got?"
Insanity was a little curious. A scent unlike anything she had ever smelled was wafting from the thing in Killer's hand.
It was rather tempting to her.
"A specialty I took from Sonic the Hedgehog's world."
Killer sniffed the ring-shaped object in her hand too.
"An edible Gold Ring."
"Seriously?"
Standing beside her, Murder felt a little mentally overloaded upon hearing that.
"...Are you serious? That feels like metal, and now you're going to eat metal?"
"Perfectly normal, pal."
