It Has To Be Black Knight - Sonic & The Black Knight vs Metal Gear Rising

It is the end of 2015, & what better way to end it than with another Sonic & The Black Knight mashup, mixed with the final boss theme from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance! However, I couldn't decide whether to use "Knight Of The Wind" or "With Me", so ultimately I used both & extended "It Has To Be This Way" to mash them up!

The Sonic vocals may sound quieter this time around, but this was done to match the original vocals of "It Has To Be This Way".
This was mostly inspired by RandomTBush's "It Has To Be Unknown from M.E. (Knuxstrong's Theme)" mashup ( • It Has to Be Unknown f... )!
Have a happy New Year everyone!

Merlina: You're right...about me I mean. I knew something was off. After King Arthur went into exile, I thought I could follow my grandfather’s steps and bring a bright future to the kingdom...but here I am, surrounded by darkness, arguing philosophy with an aspiring knight. I told myself this was about preventing the fall of the kingdom...but I was wrong. Sonic: "Then you admit it?" Merlina: I learned young that manipulating magic felt good. Real good. In Camelot, the knights of the grail…the lady of the lake...they helped me seeing the good in this world...but who am I kidding? Everything is BOUND TO ROT! The bit about my plan, that "bringing an eternal kingdom" stuff? I guess I needed something to keep the queen in check when I was knee-deep in dark magic... Sonic: "You..." Merlina: But your naivety...the kingdom’s future...is a wake-up call to what I really believe...what I really am." Sonic: "What are you saying!? Merlina: *I’m saying…the Dark Queen is here.*

[@christopherbravo1813]

you know what's ironic? I'm sure y'all have heard this a thousand times before, but in Japanese myth (or maybe it was Chinese, I don't recall) the Wind and Thunder Dragons were enemies. and here you have Raiden and Sonic, embodying lightning and wind respectively, who especially in these games are virtually polar opposites to one another in many respects-dishonorable ninja vs chivalrous knight, bloodthirsty killer vs merciful protector, just to name a couple examples. and yet, in the end, they're more similar than you'd think. they're both free spirited heroes who fight to protect others from those who would harm or exploit them.
