Epilog
A broken fox walked though the broken halls of the ship he had built. Chris had been looking for him for quite a while now. With Dark Oak destroyed and the galaxy saved, everyone was waiting for their captain's orders, even Eggman, whose own ship was now merged and entangled with the Blue Typhoon. When Chris finally caught up with the twin-tailed fox, he immediately called to him.
"Tails!"
Tails turned to look at the human boy who had called his name. He looked at Chris as if it was the first time he had ever seen him.
"Tails!" Chris called again, "Are you alright? Everyone's waiting for you on the bridge."
Tails just sighed and shook his head, "You take the bridge Chris," he said quietly.
"What!? Me!?" Chris was surprised by Tails' answer. "But you're the captain! This is your ship!"
"Take us home Chris," Tails continued "and let me know when we're close". With that, Tails turned around and continued his walk back to his room.
"Sure Tails" Chris promised him "I'll do that." As he watched the ship's captain walk away, Chris wondered what he would tell the others. Their victory had come with a heavy price, and this was NOT going to help boost morale. He continued to think about this as he made his way to the bridge, thus beginning their long journey home.
Author's Note: This is the prolog to my story and the Epilog to Sonic X, season 3. Just in case anyone besides me is actually reading this, I'll try to have a new chapter (and much longer ones, for that matter) up every day. The story is actually mostly complete, I'm just re-reading and editing. I'm just uploading this for fun, really, so if you like the story, great. Feel free to leave a review even, but keep in mind I'm not likely to change anything about the story unless someone gives me a killer idea or they point out a REALLY big flaw. Well, anyhow, hope you enjoy it!
