*Epilogue*
The lights are turned on in the room where the blue hedgehog is sitting with handcuffs. His gloves are stained with blood, and he has blood on his body and spikes. He looks up at the detectives who are Vector and Espio with the man sitting in front of the silent hedgehog. It's been a week since the tragic night of what the blue hero did. But, what did he do that was so bad? He doesn't remember what happened until he found the bodies right before him. All dead.
"Sonic, we're going to make this easy for you. Just tell us the truth, and you are free to go." The man said.
"...I'm telling you, I didn't do it..." Sonic said in a choke voice. "...I didn't do it... Somebody who controlled me did it. It...made me do it... I don't remember that I did it, but...it controlled me to do it!"
"What made you do it?" Espio asked by coming by the detective. "Tell us from the beginning. We have all day for this." Sonic tries not to cry for this. His fingers were shaking as he remembered what happened that day. He shuts his eyes. Espio sighed a little. "I know it was hard for you to talk about it, but you must tell us what happened. We may possibly believe you, Sonic."
"You have to believe it, but if you don't...it will...come after you." Sonic said. "It won't stop."
"What is this 'it' you speak of?" Vector asked with his arms crossed. "Who is 'it'?" Sonic swallowed hard. He didn't want to speak of it. And it doesn't have a real name either. But, all Sonic knows is that it has a name that terrorizes him and his friends.
"...It's name was..." Sonic started, taking a breath. "...EXE" Silent filled in the room. The man stares at the blue hedgehog.
"Who is EXE?"
"...I don't know." Sonic said. "But...there is was once a legend of it..."
"A legend?" Espio asked "Can you tell us about it if you know it?" Sonic let out a sigh that shakes. "Who is EXE?"
"...Knuckles was telling me and Tails about it when we're camping weeks ago. We were laughing because...we thought it was just a story." Sonic said. "EXE was a legendary demon who can choose a form to fool anyone, and..." Sonic trails off.
"And it chose you." Espio said, figuring it out. "So, this demon from a legendary tale chose you, and you don't remember what you did when it possesses you?" Sonic shook his head. Vector sat next to the man and the chameleon.
"Okay. Let's talk about the very beginning." He said. "We have another witness next door. She can also tell us the story of what happened."
"...Who?" Sonic asked.
"It's Amy, remember?" The man said. "She's in the next room next to ours. We're going to ask her questions after this."
"Why can't we handle our friend here, detective?" Vector asked. "You talk to Amy. We got this guy right here."
"Okay." The man walked out of the room to get to the next room where the pink hedgehog is waiting. Sonic rests his head on the table.
"God help me..." He murmured.
Amy was sitting on the table with a tissue box next to her on the table as the detective sat across from her. The pink hedgehog had been crying, but she will have to do this for her own sake. She couldn't bare to see Sonic. She's afraid him, and never trust of what he is now.
"You're safe, Amy." The man said.
"We're never safe from that thing..." Amy said. "Sonic...is a monster."
"We're talking to him. He's fine, but...scared." The man said. "Now, the Chaotix team are in there with Sonic to hear the story from him. So, I want to hear the story from you." The pink hedgehog crosses her arms. "We need to know what happened. Tell me what happened that day. After everything's all cleared up, we will decide Sonic's fate."
"His fate?"
"Either he goes to jail plain guilty, or he will be in the chair..." The man said. Amy gasped in shock, forming tears.
"But, he can't die! He's a hero!"
"Amy, I wish we have other choices, but we don't." The man said. "Please, Amy, tell me what happened. Do not leave anything out. We have to know." The pink dries her tears. She cleared her throat before speaking to the detective who listens.
"All of us are...in the woods..." She began. "We're celebrating a victory of defeating Eggman..."
