EXE was having his victims' hearts as his snack. The organs were still bloody and still beating like it's still alive. Every time he takes a bite of it, he can hear his victims screaming in agony in the dungeons. He enjoys hearing them scream to death.

"Hehehe.....their screams are like music to me" EXE chuckled evilly. He then ate the heart up and a victim dies, "Mortals are so weak and pathetic. Just like that pink girl with a hideous look" He said and looked at Amy EXE's eyeball, "You were once my queen but you were such a drama queen at everything" He glared at it.

He got up from his chair to have a view over his world, "The world should know I'm their god! But they refuse to worship me! Well I'll make them see the real me. Not like that goddess of love that imprisoned me for centuries! Glad she's gone from this world and I will not be imprisoned again!"

He raised his fist in the red sky to cause blood rain, "I'll be ready for you Sonic, you're gonna look good on my mantle"

-

At the hideout, the gang noticed that it's raining blood, "Okay, this is just weird that your world's weather is raining blood. It's like the sky is bleeding in a weird way" Amy said.

"Can't do anything about that. The god of nature would have done it better" Amy EXE said.

"So EXE can control mother nature? Why can't you guys do it too?" Amy asked.

"He took everyone's powers and we are too weak and useless. He controls everything in this world before and now again" Amy EXE said.

"Powers is not always important. If we defeat him by shoving the gem by the pure good one he might shatter and your powers may be restored" Sonic said.

"Ain't gonna be easy. I was the strongest around here" Knuckles EXE said.

"Like Hercules?" Tails said.

"Pretty much" Knuckles EXE said.

"What was this world like when EXE was imprisoned?" Sonic asked.

"Just like your world and we were just like normal beings. No bloody eyes or any of those scary features. But since EXE is free, he made this world like he owns it and we became this again" Tails EXE said.

"But there is always hope. And once we defeat him your world is back" Sonic said.

"Why do you sound so confident?" Shadow EXE asked.

"Because in our world my team and I often win against the villains" Sonic said, "Though I have also been beaten a few times. But one thing is that I never give up and so do my friends" Sonic continued.

"And that's why we need to know how to beat EXE and save your world. Do you know where the goddess of love is?" Amy asked.

"Thousands of years ago, the goddess of love imprisoned EXE in the black heart gem and she vanished into this world to join with the other gods from above" Tails EXE said.

"But there is a cupid that can undo everything but the only problem is that if we cross the bridge of doom, there's no turning back. EXE designed his traps to keep intruders away" Amy EXE said.

"Alright. Then we make up a plan to get past them without getting killed" Sonic said, pacing back and forth.

"It's not as easy. Some have been killed by EXE's monsters. They can sense heartbeats through their eyes" Sticks EXE said.

"Then we try outsmart them, if necessary tear their eyes out and squish them" Sticks said.

"Good idea but they got healing factors so we have to be quick" Tails EXE said.

"Killing is not my style. I just knock enemies out cold with my hammer" Amy said.

"Alright then. Now we better get going" Sonic said.

"You're gonna need weapons too. Since we attack with our finger claws and razor teeth, you guys don't have these types of weapons" Sticks EXE said.

"I got my hammer but a double blade ax would do" Amy said.

"You know those are dangerous" Sonic said.

"Right" Amy said.

"And I might need some armor" Knuckles said.

"I don't use weapons to battle. My signature move is my spin dash" Sonic crossed his arms.

"You're fast so why not use a whip?" Shadow EXE said.

"If I'm close to the beasts" Sonic took the whip.

"That's more like it. I'll use this sword" Shadow EXE took out a katana sword.

"Whoa, dude! Are you like a ninja or samurai?" Sonic was surprised.

"In a manner of speaking" Shadow EXE said

"You are the dangerous weapon" Shadow chuckled at his counterpart.

"That's right" Shadow EXE said.

-

Soon the regular team and the EXE are heading to the bridge. It showed a lot dead skeletons of those that tried to succeed but failed and died, "Damn, it's got a lot of death written all over it" Shadow said.

"But it's our only chance. I unleashed a monster and I'm gonna defeat it!" Sonic said.

"Are you forgetting that this written death has booby traps?" Sticks asked.

"Either that or death" Sonic points at EXE's temple that's miles away.

Sticks sees the temple of EXE and gulps in fear, "Then the bridge we go"

"Be close but don't look down" Sonic said.

"The fear in my head always makes me nervous whenever I look down" Amy gulped.

"Don't worry Ames. You'll be always a Rose that never wilts" Sonic said. Amy gave an approving thumbs up, "I hope you're right when we cross the bridge"

They start to cross the bridge.

-

"Hahahaha, come to me my prey. Prepare to face my pets" EXE saw them through a looking glass.

-

At the bridge, scorpion creatures and spider creatures appeared, "Damn it! It's always bugs isn't it?!" Amy EXE growled.

"I hate to say it but this bridge bugs me" Knuckles said.

"Quit joking around, Knux! This is a serious battle!" Sonic said.

"ATTACK!!!" Both Sticks and her counterpart charges at the monsters.

"Man, I hate spiders with so many legs! What's wrong with us having two legs?!" Tails shrieked as he tries to whack the spiders.

"Tell me about it. Webbings are too icky!" Tails EXE said.

The spider creatures spins out large webbings at the heroes but Shadow EXE slices through it like it was made of paper.

"Whoa! You saved our lives!" Tails said.

"Yeah but less talk more fight!" Shadow EXE said and sliced off a spider's front legs.

"*SCREEEEEEECH*" The spider screeched in pain and dies.

"TAKE THIS!!!" Amy smashed a scorpion creature's stinger causing it to explode.

"Amy! LOOK OUT!" Sonic saw the other scorpion about to sting her from behind, he quickly tackled her down and tumbled with her, ending up on top of her.

"Ehehe, thanks" Amy blushed.

"You're welcome" Sonic helps her up and they both attacked the scorpion.

Sonic spindashed through it to create a hole into it and used his whip to slice them in half. 

Amy then smashed a spider and a scorpion at the same time.

"Keep coming! I can do this all day!" Amy taunts them.

"EAT STONES!" Knuckles shoved a boulder into a scorpion's mouth and elbows it on the head. Then Kunckles lifts up a spider and threw it into the abyss, "YAAAAAGH!!!" Knuckles strikes a larva like monster in the maw.

"There's too many of them! If we keep this up we're gonna get tired!" Amy said.

"We must get through them!" Shadow EXE said.

"Allow me! CHAOS BLAST!!!" Shadow fires a chaos blast.

The blast was large enough to give the heroes enough space on the bridge. The remaining one the heroes defeated together to get to the other side, others they dodged.

"Whooo! We're still alive!" Sonic smirked.

"YES! WE MADE IT!!!" Sticks and her counterpart hugged each other.

"Okay, weird. It's like hugging your mirror reflection or something" Shadow rolled his eyes.

"Really?" Both Sticks asked.

"No time for jokes let's keep moving!" Sonic said.
