Between the mysteries of last weekend, the increasing number of visions and unexplained phenomena, and the attack on Vakama yesterday, everyone is likely on edge. When Tails calls you into his lab around noon, you all are likely already aware of how this is going to go.
Once again, a surge of Chaos Energy in the city is what draws you in, though this time it is a much larger burst than before. Sonic and Knuckles are here with you as usual, with Tails remaining behind to look after Vakama and the base. Unlike before, you aren't met with robots or destruction. In fact, this city block looks remarkably peaceful, aside from where Eggman's chroma has overtaken most of the buildings.
"So good of you all to finally arrive."
The voice comes from up above. You recognize it as the one you heard last week, through that gemstone the Tails Doll had. Perched on one of the buildings is a... fox? No, he's larger than Tails, and wearing a large silver mask that obscures most of his features. In one hand he holds Vakama's missing mask; his other is extended with six gemstones floating around it, a soft teal glow from beneath his black glove marking the seventh. There's a different gemstone on the center of his chest as well, though it doesn't look like the fake Chaos Emeralds you've seen before.
"You all have the pleasure of fighting me, Infinite. I am the Doctor's trusted ally... and I have been watching you all. Your struggles with my nightmares and illusions were so... delicious. You have my thanks for the show."
He kicks off the building, floating towards you all and the ground, though stopping high enough up, still out of reach. And for those of you getting any bright ideas, a deep red begins to fill your vision, tinting the corners of it as the very world itself begins to warp around you - this isn't exactly Chicago anymore, you see. The buildings still exist, wrapped in white chroma, though they bend and twist in ways they shouldn't, making it hard to tell what's real and what isn't.
"I'll snuff out your lives here and now for the Doctor's ambitions! Let's see what you're made of!"
[The sun crashes down. The world around you fades to red.
...
You don't die. You aren't in pain.
When you blink, the world around you now stands in its usual bright color, the glitchy, red world replaced by the Chicago you've all grown familiar with.
It's far too soon to celebrate, however, given that Infinite is still here, now firmly in the grasp of an unfamiliar man. He's a tall, thin, dangerous-looking human with a bristling mustache and googles on his head, wearing a jet black coat lined with glowing, green energy.
He seems far more concerned with Infinite than with the rest of you, given that he has the jackal by the throat in one hand.]
Doctor—
Infinite, Infinite, Infinite. My dearest, darling little peon. I believe I gave you exactly one little order to follow, didn't I?
You... You aren't— You can't be—
[Eggman's grip tightens on Infinite's neck, choking the words out of the jackal. Bright green energy crackles around his hand.]
I don't recall asking for your response. I told you to kill all of them but that blithering blue rodent, and what do you do? You blatantly ignore my one order.
[His second hand comes up, gripping that gemstone on Infinite's chest - the Phantom Ruby. With a surge of that green energy, Eggman crushes it in his bare hand. Infinite makes a strangled noise of pain.]
I don't tolerate failures. I don't tolerate losers. And you, Infinite? Why, you might just be the greatest loser I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with!
[A jolt of green energy tears itself open beside Eggman, ripping a hole into the fabric of reality and forming shortly into a dark portal, not entirely unlike that of the rings. Instead of the familiar gold light, all you can see is sparking green energy surrounding a dark void present within.]
So I think it's time I handed you your termination slip. Starting today, at this exact point in time, you are officially, permanently terminated.
[Eggman flings Infinite aside with incredible ease, and as the jackal falls into the portal, the rest of his fake Chaos Emeralds are snatched up by the Doctor at remarkable speeds. All of them are crushed in hand as the portal closes.]
This is why free will is worthless. I should have entrusted this to a machine.

1/? cw: choking

You don't die. You aren't in pain.
When you blink, the world around you now stands in its usual bright color, the glitchy, red world replaced by the Chicago you've all grown familiar with.
It's far too soon to celebrate, however, given that Infinite is still here, now firmly in the grasp of an unfamiliar man. He's a tall, thin, dangerous-looking human with a bristling mustache and googles on his head, wearing a jet black coat lined with glowing, green energy.
