"Whee-hee-hee!"

"Yahoo!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"

"Everyone's so happy," Albus noted fondly as the Wisps danced around. "Huh?"

"Wha?" the Wisps asked as they stopped.

It was now that the Wisps noticed the growing implosion that was approaching them and destroying the Amusement Park. The nine Wisps screamed and flew away as fast as they could, Albus leaving Sonic's body and following behind them.

As they fled, Orenji collided into the Egg Carrier, knocking Eggman back to consciousness. "Oh, my head," he complained in a daze. "Who turned out the lights?"

/Orenji!/ Albus yelled, helping him up. /Hurry up and get the others! I have an idea!/

They both fled.

"At Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park, you can feel comfortable knowing your safety is our number one priority," the loudspeaker announced as Eggman tried to regain his bearings.

"Oh, shut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!" Eggman yelled as he and the Carrier were sucked in.


The implosion of negative energy continued to grow in size, destroying the rest of the Amusement Park in the process. It was advancing across Terminal Velocity and was coming to suck Sonic in as well if he didn't move fast.

"This might not end well," he commented as he shrugged. He immediately broke into a run, hoping to head back for Earth in time, the negative energy hot on his trail.


/Hurryup!Hurryup!/ Shian yelled as he assembled all the Cyan Wisps.

/Move! Move! Move!/ Buru yelled as he assembled all the Blue Wisps.

/Come on!/ Reddo yelled as he assembled all the Red Wisps. /We gotta move fast!/

/All of you as well!/ Albus said as the White Wisps assembled. All of the untainted Wisps gained a white aura as they converged in the center of the implosion. Since it was composed of negative energy, Albus hoped that the Hyper-Go-On energy could counter it and destroy it.

A brilliant white light began to form from the surface of energy. The implosion stopped growing as the white light spread.

/Phew.../ he sighed.

/Cosmic news, Yacker!/ Gurin said as he floated over to him. /Sonic is alive!/

/What?/

Iero and a few other Wisps took him to Sonic. To Albus's relief, he was alive, just exhausted from all his running. /Let's get him back to Earth,/ the White Wisp instructed.

They picked up Sonic's body and carried him out of the area. He stirred a bit and attempted to get a look at his surroundings. After seeing the Wisps' relieved expressions, he dropped back off into a light sleep.


Awakening some time later, Sonic found that he was gently being carried down to the ground. He was back on Earth, the planet he had loved and lived in. The Wisps put him down and flew back into space. Still not fully recovered from the events that happened when Eggman tried to stop him, he took a few breaths before sending a thumbs up to the sky.

"Sonic! Are you okay?" Tails asked as he landed next to him, surprised and relieved. "Man, I can't believe you made it through that!"

The Blue Blur took a few more ragged breaths as he dusted himself off before saying: "Like you thought I wouldn't?"

"The only thing I was thinking about was getting pushed into an elevator," Tails replied, miming a pushing motion with his arms and hands.

"A hedgehog's gotta do what a hedgehog's gotta do," Sonic countered.

"Great job, Sonic!" Tails said as the two fist bumped each other.

"Thanks," he thanked. "But I had a little help during that last part."

The two of them looked up.


/All of you Nega-Wisps, thank you for your help,/ Albus thanked. /Now it's time for me to help you./

He spread a white smoke around the Nega-Wisps, turning them back to normal. They all followed the White Wisp and converged into the implosion. The implosion was soon blanketed by white light and the negative energy dispersed into space in a brief explosion.

Yacker and his seven friends floated back down to Earth. The other Wisps nodded when he looked at them. He left them and approached Sonic and Tails. With kindness shimmering in his pinkish-red eye, he expressed his thanks.

"Uh, he said 'Thank you for saving us,'" Tails translated as he read off the Miles Electric.

"You're welcome," Sonic replied as he bowed to the brave Wisp in the legend. "Thank you for saving us."

Yacker waved his tentacle in modesty. "He says 'You are welcome,'" Tails again translated.

"That thing's translating pretty good," Sonic noted.

"Yep, I finally got all the kinks out," Tails told him. "We can talk to them perfectly now."

/Yacker!/ his friends called. /Time to go home!/

Yacker looked up, and then waved goodbye to his two new friends.

"Oh, great," Tails moaned, a bit upset. "He says 'Goodbye, my friends, I have to go'. Just when I got this thing working..."

"Better late than never, buddy," Sonic assured him.

/Indeed,/ Albus agreed, raising his appendage.

"Right on!" Sonic exclaimed. He jumped and the two high-fived.

"Yeah!" Tails cheered as he and Yacker also high-fived. Yacker flew around the two briefly, and then left to join his friends. They all flew off. A few moments later, the planet visible in the sky above them disappeared.

If you could tell me how to lend a hand, I would try to understand.

No words could say how much I care.

Together we can take a stand,

Don't fall apart, to speak with your heart!

And always take it with you back to the start!
