Chapter 5 The Realisation

"The next few days were very sad days for everyone. Amy and Cream cried a lot, mostly Amy. Knuckles being the tough one stayed quite strong on the outside, but on the inside he did feel real sadness for what had happened. He didn't like Sonic that much compared to his friends thoughts on the blue blur, but now that he was gone he felt terrible about what he would say to Sonic when he was being childish. Tails, like Knuckles tried to stay strong on the outside, but failed miserable. He cried a lot, mostly when he was alone. His best friend, his big brother was gone, there was no chaos emeralds to save him this time, no chance of doctors saving him, no hope, Sonic was gone. Shadow's thoughts were mixed about the situation. He did hate Sonic in a lot of ways, but he also saw him as a rival to him, a challenge that no one else could give him. The main thing Shadow respected in Sonic was his never back down attitude, and ability to always do what was right, no matter the cost.

"Eggman at first was happy, I mean really really happy. He didn't even yell at orbot or cubot for the first two days. As the third day progressed however, Eggman begin to think about what had really happened. Sonic was a pain in his life, and he hated him, but he was a hero to the world. Was this really how it should end, sure he wanted victory, but this? This wasn't what Sonic deserved. This was one of the worst deaths he had ever witnessed, and Eggmam reads a lot about torture methods. Sonic was the greatest hero on the planet, and he left the world in what is probably the worst way imaginable. No, it wasn't right, and Eggman knew this deep within his heart. Sonic didn't deserve this kinda pain, no matter how much the doctor wanted it, he had some sense of mercy buried somewhere in his evil heart.

"The rest of Sonic's friends had very similar reactions as Knuckles,Tails,Cream and Amy. Blaze in particular was heart broken. You would think this of just Amy, but Blaze also felt this because she remembered how Sonic helped her become the nicer girl she is now, rather then the cold hearted girl she once was.

"Sonic's funeral had taken place on the night of the second day. It had a small turnout because only Sonic's friends were allowed to attend because of the numbers otherwise. Eggman did see the funeral with his binoculars and a sound recorder placed behind the tombstone allowed him to hear it. The news channels were all about Sonic. Lots of people made speeches about his heroic accomplishments in life. Knuckles and Vector gave a speech themselves. The others refused to, or weren't asked.

"Sonic's death happened seven days before Halloween started, but considering his death, it won't be as joyful as last year.

"How could something designed to brainwash do something so horrible, is the question that is in Eggman's mind as of the last few days.

"The truth of the matter was, the realisation of what had just happened hit them all around the sixth day. Sonic was dead, and he wasn't coming back, ever.
