In the finale, the Chaos Council seized the Shatter Drive after capturing Nine. The Shatter Drive aimed to conquer the entire Shatterverse. But Nine plead them. He convinced them to keep Sonic alive as he could travel across the Shatterverse, and they agreed. Meanwhile, Sonic and the pirates tried to fight against Rusty Rose, but their attempt was unsuccessful in No Place. As for Rusty, she prepared to destroy Sonic and the pirates, but after seeing her Pirate counterpart, she left without saying a word. But their problems didn’t end there. The ship then continued to sink. So Sonic convinced the runaway Dread to rethink his decision.
After Sonic’s words, he resumed his command, and the crew used buoyancy material to keep their ship afloat. As for Sonic, he used his super speed and newfound power to help them reach the shore. With Sonic’s help, they came to Devils’ Lighthouse at full speed. While Sonic and the crew defeated and captured Rusty, Dread met with a dark fate as his obsession to get the Shard captured by Badniks and later knocked off the mountain. But Sonic saved him and disappeared into the Void after touching the Shard. Soon Shadow appeared and revealed their original universe no longer existed because of Sonic’s actions.
