[In Eggman's Base, a unknown figure slowly opens their eyes, his was was blurred for a moment, but as he blinks and looks around, it became more clear. The figure, revealed to be Infinite, looks up to see Doctor Starline]

Infinite: What the?!

[Infinite tries to fire a laser, but can't, as the Ruby is no longer with him.]

Doctor Starline: Relax, I'm no enemy, Infinite. I am Doctor Starline, Dr. Eggman's newest apprentice, I have brought you back here because Eggman wanted me to give you a proposition.

Infinite: A..A proposition? What...

[Infinite suddenly gasps as he remembers his last few moments]

[Flashback]

[Infinite was in a glitch-like state on the ground before Sonic and Gadget after having been dealt a powerful defeat by them]

Infinite: Impossible. I cannot be defeated.

Sonic: Wrong, loser! The things that can't be defeated are heart, soul, and the bonds of friendship. Three things you and your counterfeit cronies lack!

[Infinite pounded his fist on the ground in frustration at Sonic's truth, before finding himself being lifted into the air against his will]

Infinite: [Struggles to stand up] No, wait! I can still fight!

[After a couple more strained gasps as he continued to struggle against the force working against him, Infinite faded away and the Phantom Ruby was dragged off to an unknown location]

[End of Flashback]

Infinite: No. No! That stupid IDIOT! I HAD SONIC AND THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS’ LAPDOG RIGHT WHERE I WANTED THEM! I COULD’VE TAKEN THEM DOWN, I COULD’VE-!

Doctor Starline: Relax. That is why Eggman wanted you back here.

[Starline holds the Ruby out to Infinite]

Doctor Starline: The Doctor conquered Mobius for a short time, thanks to you. If you weren't involved, he would have never made it as far as he did. You defeated Sonic. And what did Eggman do when you were defeated? He betrayed you. He decided to destroy Sonic himself and stole the Ruby back, and threw you away like a piece of trash. Because of this, he failed.

Infinite: So..Sonic took back the planet?

Doctor Starline: Indeed, but we've also ended up in another reality since he last saw you. The good news is though, for the time being. We have the resources, and we have the power. The Freedom Fighters will have their guard down.

[Starline puts a hand out]

Doctor Starline: With you back in the frontlines, Eggman should have a chance, and don't worry about your powers, the Ruby has been Overclocked. With it, you will be even more powerful than before.

[The Ruby hums louder, glowing.]

Infinite: [grins sinisterly, taking the Ruby. His eye glows as he laughs maniacally] Where do we start?

[Meanwhile, at the Castle of Friendship]

Trixie Lulamoon: Come on, come on! Turn into a teacup!

[magic zap]

Trixie Lulamoon: No! Teacup!

[magic zap]

Trixie Lulamoon: No! Teacup!

[magic zap]

Trixie Lulamoon: [screeching] No! [normally] Oh, Starlight! I can't put a trick that's not working into my act! How come it's not working?

Starlight Glimmer: It could be because you're just yelling "teacup!" and not picturing it in your mind.

Trixie Lulamoon: Oh. Yeah, that could be it.

Starlight Glimmer: What does your teacup look like? What shape is it? What color?

Trixie Lulamoon: [inhales]

[magic zaps]

Trixie Lulamoon: Whoo! Starlight, I did it!

[splurt]

Trixie Lulamoon: Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! I did it, I did it, I did it! Woo-hoo-hoo!

Starlight Glimmer: Hey!

Trixie Lulamoon: Teacup! [giggles] Teacup! Teacup, teacup, teacup! Tea-cup! Teacup, teacup, tea-cup! You know what you need? A teacup!

[splat]

[teacup poodle yapping]

Starlight Glimmer: [groans]

Trixie Lulamoon: Whoops! I guess I pictured a teacup poodle? Heh.

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie! You ruined my teacakes!

Trixie Lulamoon: I just got excited! This is the first time I did a transfiguration spell! Real magic! Come on! Be impressed by me! [as Starlight Glimmer] "Yay, Trixie! You're so great at magic and having good hair!"

Starlight Glimmer: [chuckles] Good job, Trix. But I was baking these to give to Twilight and the girls for their friendship retreat. Pinkie Pie gave me a recipe and everything.

Trixie Lulamoon: Oh! You need some snacks to give to Twilight? I've got you covered. [humming to herself]

[splat]

Trixie Lulamoon: Problem solved.

[magic rumbling]

Starlight Glimmer: [exhales] Not exactly.
