My fault
(A/N: This is a look into Sonic's thoughts about Sally's fate and how he feels about it.)
It's all my fault.
Completely my fault!
I should have done something! I'm the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy! I should have done something to save you, Sally! I should have tried to destroy that Roboticizer with my own power but I didn't! I saved you from death but I couldn't save you from… this. I should have paid more attention! I should have been faster! I should have tried harder! I… I…
Nicole told me what happened that day and what you did! You were amazing, Sally, my love; so brave and selfless, like me! You saved everyone on Mobius and Coruscant! Had it not been for you, the galaxy would have fallen to the hands of Robotnik and his fellow Sith. The machines of GUN, Bunnie, Dad and Nicole would have been destroyed. Robotnik was even planning to betray his own Dark Egg Legion, which is just sick but not really surprising; he's betrayed even his own alternate counterparts in the past. Nicole told me that there was no time to stop the machine and that the only thing you could do was to invert it all to your point. You knew the circumstances and you knew what it would do to you but you did it anyway, regardless. You saved everyone, Sally. You were amazing. You're a true hero. Like me...
Still, why did it have to be this? Why? If only I'd done something to help; to save you as well. Now, Robotnik has you and is probably planning to use you against me and your friends. And all because I couldn't save you, even as you saved everyone. I'm not disregarding your sacrifice but I only wish you didn't have to end like up this. I should have foreseen this happening. No doubt Robotnik may have developed of preventing me from intefering but if only I'd at least tried to do something to help…
I promised you that I'd always look out for you; make sure you were safe and no harm came to you. I couldn't keep that promise. Some boyfriend I am. This is the third time you've been roboticized ever and once again because of my inadequacy. Please forgive me, Sally my love…
'Sonic, where were you when the brains were handed out?'
That old nightmare... my worst fear. I never thought it would happen again. Never...
I will get you for this, Robotnik! When I find you, I'm going to tear you limb from limb until you return Sally! I will roast you with lightning! I will tear your skin off. I will pull out your moustache, one hair at a time and I will strangle you with it! I will blast you into oblivion. I will… What am I thinking?
If I seek revenge and do horrible things to Robotnik, I'm no better than he is. I'd be a monster. I'm giving in to my dark side again and I swore to myself I wouldn't make that mistake again. Sally, you wouldn't want that. You wouldn't. I just feel so ashamed that I let this happen to you once again. Who knows what Buttnik is planning with you, Sally?
I will save you, Sally. I won't let you down again! No matter what, I will save you and I won't ever let you fall again.
From now on, no more playing games; no more Mr Nice Guy! This time, it's personal! I will bring justice to the galaxy and rid it of Robotnik and his evil once and for all! I'll do it for you, Sally! I won't let Robotnik put your sacrifice in vain. I won't! We shall be together again! I promise… for you!
What happened between us some time ago is forgotten now. It's all in the past! I've forgiven you now. I'm ready to be your husband now... to be your king...
I love you, Sally Acorn!
A/N: While I admire Sally for her sacrifice, I still feel upset for what happened to her. I only hope that she is rescued soon. Sonic will see to that… if he doesn't give in to darkness first. Sometimes, Mecha Sally scares me. I hate Roboticization!
