Chapter 7: Sonic the Hedgehog
The Dinosaurs were so happy to see that Sonic was revived by the power of the Chaos Emeralds. They were very astonished by the emeralds' power. Even Pterano and the Claw Heads were astounded by the emeralds. Everyone then looked towards Iblis. Dark clouds covered the sky and some lightning flashed. The great monster roared into the sky once again. Sonic, now Super, glared at the great beast. The kids also glared at the fiery monster. It seemed that they were not so terrified of Iblis now. Sonic was getting ready to fight the ancient monster. But Littlefoot and the kids then thought of something. It sounded crazy, but they were thinking about helping Sonic. The dino kids pondered hard at the crazy thought. Suddenly, Littlefoot heard a small voice in his head. The voice sounded like… his mother. The voice then told Littlefoot what to do: "Go with him."
Littlefoot then agreed with the idea and walked towards Sonic. "Sonic, I wanna help you" said Littlefoot. Sonic then turned to look at Littlefoot with a very surprised expression. The other kids thought the same thing.
"Yeah, we wanna stop that big monster" Cera said with a brave expression.
"We all want to help you too Sonic. We do" added Ducky.
"Petrie wanna help too" said Petrie. Spike nodded in agreement. Sonic raised both eyebrows. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Even the parents were flabbergasted by their children's words.
"I don't think that would be a good idea guys" said Sonic.
"Sonic's right. It would be too dangerous" said Grandpa Longneck.
"Yeah, there's no way that you kids can fight that great monster" said Topps. The kids looked at the grownups with upset expressions.
"But Grandpa…" started Littlefoot.
"No, it's too dangerous. That monster is too powerful. Let Sonic handle this" said Grandpa Longneck. The Mobians were now thinking about it as well. Tails thought hard. But the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to agree with the kids' idea.
"Sorry guys but unless you had the power of the emeralds, you…" started Sonic. Sonic then froze at what he said as he thought of something. Sonic then looked at Tails. Tails then smiled and nodded.
"I say why not. Besides, the Great Valley is their home. It's time they take it back" said Tails. The other Mobians nodded in agreement.
"Let them fight too" Knuckles said with a smile. Sonic then smiled. The parents wondered what the Mobians meant.
"What are you all saying? Our children can't fight that monster" said Grandpa Longneck.
"That's true, not by themselves. But with the power of the emeralds, I think they can" Sonic said with a smile. The kids then went wide-eyed.
"We can use the emeralds too?" asked Littlefoot. Sonic nodded. The kids then smiled. The parents were still against the idea. Sonic then told the parents that the emeralds' power can protect them from Iblis's attacks and make them strong enough to face Iblis. The parents then looked at their children. The children had determined expressions. They were eager to help Sonic.
"Please, Grandpa. I think that we can help" said Littlefoot.
Tails then looked at the parents. "Besides, Iblis's strength has been enhanced by Silver and Blaze's powers. Sonic will need more help to defeat him."
"And I promise that I will protect them" added Sonic.
The parents then looked at each other as they pondered at the thought. They all sighed.
"Alright. You all may help Sonic. But be careful" said Grandpa Longneck.
"You better protect them Sonic" Topps said with a small frown.
Sonic nodded. "I will. I always keep my word."
"Be careful Sonic" said Amy. Sonic smiled and winked at Amy. Amy smiled back. The kids then smiled brightly. Sonic then looked at the kids.
"Alright, guys. Gather around me" said Sonic. The kids then circled around Sonic. He then told them to extend a hand. The kids extended one hand or front foot. Sonic then put up both hands and made open palms at the kids. He started to transfer the emeralds' great power.

Sonic's golden glow flashed brightly for a second. The kids then watched as gold energy started covering their bodies. Within seconds, they glowed golden like Sonic. They felt great strength coursing through their bodies. But then something unexpected happened to all the kids. Littlefoot's tail grew very long. Cera gained 2 extra horns on her forehead. Ducky felt water on her hands. Petrie felt wind around him. And Spike grew 2 large spikes on his tail and small spikes on his spine. Sonic raised both eyebrows as he saw the new powers of the kids. The kids smiled brightly and looked at their shiny selves.
"I… I feel so strong!" exclaimed Littlefoot.
"I feel powerful!" exclaimed Cera.
"I feel very strong too! Yep, yep, yep!" exclaimed Ducky.
"Me feel strong! Very strong!" exclaimed Petrie. Spike mumbled in agreement. The kids then saw the new changes that happened to them. They were quite astounded. Even the parents were surprised. Petrie flapped his wings and a gust of wind nearly blew Sonic away. Petrie felt surprised. Ducky wondered why her hands felt wet. She shot her hand forward and a stream of water came from her hand. Ducky raised both eyebrows as she looked at her hands. Littlefoot moved his very long tail. He tried to pull back his tail and it went back to its normal length. He then extended a foot. It stretched out long. Littlefoot then pulled his foot back. It went back to its normal length. The Chaos Emeralds had given the kids powers of their own. Petrie then gasped when he looked at his feet and the others. They were all hovering off the ground!
"Lookie! We all Flyers!" exclaimed Petrie. The other kids saw that they were indeed flying. They all smiled. They all looked at Sonic.
"What happened to us?" Littlefoot asked with excitement.
Sonic simply smiled. "It's the power of the emeralds. Remember when I told you that the emeralds can unlock hidden abilities?"
The kids then nodded. Sonic then told them that their new powers are based on what they are. Littlefoot, as a Longneck, can stretch any limb long. Cera, as a Three-Horn, now has 3 horns and greater strength. Ducky, as a Swimmer, has the power of water. Petrie, as a Flyer, has the power of wind. Spike, as a Spiketail, now has spikes on his tail and spine, and also great strength. The kids smiled brightly. They were starting to enjoy their new powers. They flew around a little and then landed. They were ready to help Sonic. The battle was about to begin! Sonic and the kids turned to face Iblis. The great monster walked through the lava wasteland. Sonic then got into a racing stance.
"Time to take down that monster! Ready guys?" exclaimed Sonic.
"We're ready! Let's do it!" exclaimed Littlefoot.
"Yeah!" exclaimed the other kids.
"Okay! Here we… GO!" shouted Sonic. Sonic and the kids then zoomed off after Iblis. They flew like bright comets. The parents then watched them with heavy hearts. The Mobians also watched with brave expressions. The Rainbow Faces watched with a smile.
"Go get him everyone!" exclaimed Tails.
"Show Iblis what you guys can do!" shouted Knuckles.
"Yeah!" added the Claw Heads.
"Good luck everyone" said Grandpa Longneck.
"Be careful children" said Pterano.
"Please be safe" said Ducky's mother.
"Be strong" added Topps. Sonic and the kids had heroic expressions as they flew closer to the mighty Iblis.
Battle Theme: 'What I'm Made Of' from Sonic Heroes
Sonic and the kids then stopped a few feet away from Iblis. Sonic then looked at the kids.
"Alright, guys. We're gonna have to work together to defeat him" said Sonic. The kids simply nodded. Sonic then reminded them that this will not be an easy fight and that may be difficult to take down Iblis. The kids felt uneasy but they were determined to help Sonic and save the Great Valley.
"We're with you Sonic" said Littlefoot.
"Yeah, let's get that big bully" Cera said with a grin.
"Let's save the Great Valley together. Yep, yep, yep" said Ducky.
"Yeah, together" said Petrie. Spike nodded. Sonic nodded as well.
The heroes then zoomed after Iblis. The fiery beast then saw the heroes coming. Iblis roared greatly and then raised a claw at them. The heroes scattered as the claw came down and missed. The heroes then flew around the great beast. Sonic zoomed and hit Iblis a few times with powerful Homing Attacks. Littlefoot came in and, with a long tail, used a big tail whip. Iblis roared a little in pain. Cera came in by hitting Iblis with her horns. Ducky shot water at Iblis's back while Petrie shot wind blasts at Iblis's side. Spike then tried using his spikes to hit Iblis too. The heroes kept up their attacks. Iblis then roared in anger. The beast raised both claws to the sky and 2 large fiery tornadoes started to form. The 2 fire twisters started to circle around Iblis. Sonic and the kids got hit by the twisters. But thanks to the emeralds' power, they were not harmed. But they got blown away by the twisters. Sonic and the kids then straightened themselves. They flew back towards Iblis. They tried to avoid the 2 twisters and hit Iblis again with their powers. Littlefoot used more tail whips. Sonic and Cera bashed back and forth at Iblis. Spike then hit Iblis's head. Ducky and Petrie used their powers while flying around Iblis. Iblis then growled greatly. He tried swiping at the heroes. The heroes flew fast to avoid Iblis's claws. But Iblis managed to hit Cera and Spike. Both kids were sent flying. Iblis then saw Sonic and Littlefoot. Littlefoot tried to use another big tail whip, but Iblis smacked Littlefoot's tail away. Iblis then opened his jaws and shot a big stream of lava. Sonic and Littlefoot flew to avoid the lava stream. Both Sonic and Littlefoot could feel the very hot heat from the stream. Iblis then stopped his lava stream when he spotted Ducky by his head. Ducky felt afraid at seeing the green glaring eyes of Iblis. The monster then tired to swipe at Ducky. Ducky dodged and flew another way, and then Petrie came in to help. Petrie started to summon his own giant twister while flapping his wings fast. He shot it at Iblis. But the great monster was barely fazed by Petrie's wind attack but it managed to stop the fiery twisters. Iblis then shot giant fireballs at Petrie. The little Flyer tried to avoid them but a fireball was able to hit Petrie. Petrie was sent flying by the great force of the fireball but he was not burned. The little Flyer shook his head to clear his senses and flew back. Cera and Spike flew back to Iblis as well. Iblis then tried to swipe at Sonic but was stopped by Littlefoot grabbing Iblis's arm with a long tail. Iblis then glared at Littlefoot. Littlefoot glared back and shot out a long foot at Iblis. The foot hit Iblis's head and Iblis roared a little. Iblis then pulled his arm back hard and Littlefoot got pulled with him. Littlefoot then gasped as Iblis swiped Littlefoot away with his other claw. Sonic watched Littlefoot go flying and then glared at Iblis. Sonic then zoomed and hit Iblis a few times again. Littlefoot regained himself and flew back. Cera and Spike then charged at Iblis but the great monster saw them coming. The monster grabbed Cera and Spike in each of his hands. He started to close his hands on them, trying to crush them. Cera and Spike tried to hold back Iblis's claws but the monster started to overpower them. Sonic and the 3 other kids saw Iblis close both hands on Cera and Spike. Sonic and the others gasped. But then suddenly, Iblis's fists started to shake. Iblis's left claw exploded while his right claw opened up. Iblis backed up a little while growling in pain. Sonic and the others saw that Cera was covered with fire while Spike's spikes on his spine extended long and sharp. It seemed that Cera also had the power of fire as well, thanks to her fiery temper. Spike could also extend his spikes. Both kids glared at Iblis.
"Now I'm mad!" shouted Cera. Spike groaned in anger.
Both kids zoomed at Iblis. They kept bashing Iblis with their abilities. Sonic and the others smiled brightly and rejoined the fight.
Meanwhile, the Mobians and the Dinosaurs watched in great astonishment. It was quite an intense battle. They all then cheered at Sonic and the children.
The battle continued as Sonic and the kids kept fighting. Iblis then raised his claws to the sky again. But this time, a huge number of fireballs rose from the lava all around them. The fireballs then stopped in the sky. Iblis then brought his hands down and the large fireballs came crashing down. Instead of avoiding the fireballs, the heroes tried to fight back. They all started to destroy the fireballs by zooming or by punching and kicking. They destroyed a few fireballs, but Littlefoot and Ducky got hit by some fireballs. Littlefoot and Ducky got sent flying down to the lava. Sonic saw this and zoomed to rescue them. He caught them and brought them back. Littlefoot and Ducky started to clear their heads. They both thanked Sonic. Sonic nodded. Iblis then put his hands together and summoned large fire waves. They managed to avoid some of them but a few of the waves managed to send them flying. The heroes regained themselves and flew back. Iblis then roared into the sky. His 3 eyes flashed for a second. Suddenly, 3 giant fire worms appeared from the lava by Iblis. Their mouths opened in 3 ways and they growled. More minions appeared as well. 15 fire bats appeared from the lava as well and screeched. The fire bats had gargoyle like appearances. The heroes then started to fight the fire minions. Sonic, Littlefoot, and Cera fought the worms while the other kids fought the bats. Ducky shot water that dried up some fire bats while Petrie blew away some bats with a mighty gust of wind. Spike then hit some fire bats with a spiky roll attack. Sonic, Littlefoot, and Cera then took down the worms with their abilities. Sonic used a big Homing Attack, Littlefoot used a big tail whip, and Cera used her great strength. The worms groaned and fell back into the lava. The other kids almost defeated the bats but then suddenly, Iblis's eyes flashed again. He summoned a larger number of worms and bats. Sonic and the kids fought hard but now the fire minions were starting to overwhelm them. The minions kept fighting with fireballs. Ducky then saw the minions close in all around them. She then got very angry.
"You leave my friends alone!" exclaimed Ducky. The powerful Swimmer then created a large orb of water and shot it into the sky. When the water orb hit the clouds, a big clap of thunder was heard. Suddenly, rain started to fall fast. The orb created a rainstorm. Sonic and the others were surprised by this new ability. Even Ducky felt surprised. The heroes then watched as the rain started to dry up the fire minions. The minions growled and shook in pain. Within seconds, their fiery bodies started to turn into hardened rock. All the minions then froze in place and collapsed into the lava. Iblis roared in pain as the rainstorm hit him. The heroes took advantage of the rainstorm and attacked. Littlefoot, Cera, and Spike hit Iblis with their abilities. Ducky shot a large stream of water. And Sonic and Petrie started to circle around Iblis, creating a large tornado. Iblis roared in pain as he tried to escape their attacks. Iblis started to dry up as well.
Meanwhile, Eggman started to wake up by a mountain. He rubbed his head while groaning. He then heard Iblis's roars. He quickly then used his hover vehicle again and flew up. He then saw Iblis fighting Super Sonic and the super kids. He couldn't believe that Sonic was alive again. He pounded his vehicle in anger as he watched the battle.
The heroes kept up their attacks again. Iblis then roared in anger. The beast had enough of these annoying little pests. He raised his head to the sky and let out a deafening roar. His body then glowed and let out a huge, powerful shockwave. The wave silenced the rainstorm and blasted the heroes away. They were all sent flying a few feet away but then they regained themselves. They got ready to fight again. But Iblis tried a new tactic. Iblis put out open palms at the heroes. The heroes then stopped and saw some energy balls appearing. When they grew to the size of small rock, they exploded into a large blast. The heroes flew around to avoid the energy bombs. They closed in on Iblis and fought again. Iblis then tried another tactic. He put his hands near his head and his 3 eyes started to glow brightly. The heroes then stopped in midair and grabbed their heads. They all screamed in pain at the high pitched ringing that boomed in their ears. Sonic then saw Iblis's eyes glowing. It seemed that the monster, thanks to Silver's powers, had the power to use a telepathic sound attack.
"My ears hurt!" Ducky shouted as she covered her ears.
"Mine too!" shouted Petrie. Sonic then tried to fly up to Iblis. But the closer he got, the louder the ringing got. Sonic couldn't get any closer. Iblis then growled. The kids couldn't think straight because of the loud sound. Cera then glared at Iblis. She had enough. She started to burn with fire. She then let out an angry cry and charged at Iblis. It seemed that the sound didn't affect her this time. She zoomed fast and rammed into Iblis's 3rd eye on his forehead. Iblis roared greatly in pain. He staggered backwards as he held his head. The loud sound instantly stopped. Everyone sighed with relief. Cera's fire started to vanish. Sonic then saw that Iblis felt more pain at his head then the other parts of his body. Sonic then saw what Iblis's weakness was when Iblis uncovered his head: The 3rd eye. Sonic then told the kids what Iblis's weak spot is. They zoomed after Iblis again. The fiery beast then growled in great anger. Iblis then raised his hands above his head. He summoned a whole bunch of lava rocks and fireballs. They started combining together and started to grow in size. The heroes then saw that Iblis was creating an enormous fireball. It was about half the size of Iblis. The heroes went wide-eyed. Iblis then roared and launched the huge fireball. The kids looked at the fireball with frightened expressions. Sonic felt a little worried but then seized the courage. Sonic then zoomed towards the fireball. He grunted as he tried to push it back but his strength wasn't enough. The fireball slowed down only a tiny bit and kept going. The kids then saw what Sonic was doing. The kids then had brave expressions and zoomed to help. The kids then started to push the fireball as well. The huge fireball started to slow down.
The parents and Eggman were astounded by the huge fireball that Iblis created. They watched as the heroes tried to stop the powerful attack.
The huge fireball almost stopped in midair. The heroes all grunted as they started to push back harder. The fireball started to go back towards Iblis. The great monster growled in surprise as he watched the huge fireball starting to change direction. Iblis then growled as he caught the giant fireball with his hands and tried to push back. The heroes and Iblis were at a standstill. Neither one could push farther. Suddenly, the heroes' glow shined brightly for a second and pushed even harder. They started to overpower the fiery beast. Iblis couldn't hold back the fireball any longer. The giant fireball hit Iblis and made a big explosion. Iblis roared in pain as he held his head. The heroes then decided to use their own powerful attack. They zoomed at Iblis. Sonic then used his Homing Attack. The kids followed by rolling like Sonic. Being close together, they formed a huge Homing Attack. The attack hit and made a golden explosion.
Finish Theme: 'Solaris Phase 2' from Sonic 2006
Iblis roared greatly and staggered back from the powerful Homing Attack. Sonic and the kids smiled. Iblis felt dazed from the attack. The fiery beast looked weakened. Bits of molten rock started falling off Iblis's body. The heroes were about to beat the monster.
"We almost got him! Let's finish him off!" exclaimed Sonic.
"Yeah!" exclaimed the dino kids.
Sonic then made open palms at Iblis. The kids then put one hand or foot near Sonic's hands. A gold orb started to form. The orb slowly grew to the size of a large rock. They were about to unleash the most powerful attack of the Chaos Emeralds.
"All together guys!" exclaimed Sonic.
"Right!" exclaimed the dino kids. They all focused on Iblis. The fiery beast then looked at the heroes with wide eyes.
"CHAOS… SPEAR!" shouted the heroes. The large orb instantly charged towards Iblis. It looked like a large powerful comet flying at Iblis. The orb then struck and made a huge explosion. When the smoke cleared, Iblis then roared greatly in pain. The monster lifted its head towards the sky and roared again. The monster felt dazed and worn out. The monster then fell into the lava and disappeared, making a huge splash of lava. The heroes then cheered with great happiness. They claimed victory!
"Yes! Alright!" exclaimed Sonic.
"Yay! We did it!" exclaimed Littlefoot.
"We really showed that monster!" exclaimed Cera.
"We did! Yep, yep, yep!" exclaimed Ducky.
"We save Great Valley!" exclaimed Petrie. Spike mumbled in happiness.
But their joy was cut short when they saw an enormous burst of fire that appeared from the lava. A large orb of fire then formed. It was Iblis in his purest form. The heroes were very surprised.
"He's still alive?" said Littlefoot.
"But how can that be? We hit him hard! We cannot beat him?!" exclaimed Cera.
"He might be too strong. He might" said Ducky.
"What we do now?"Petrie said while feeling nervous. The kids felt a little nervous and afraid too. But Sonic wasn't afraid at all. Sonic then thought hard. It seemed that Iblis cannot be killed. There had to be some way to get rid of Iblis. Sonic then thought of something. He then looked at the Stone of Cold Fire. He then looked at the kids.
"We may not be able to defeat him, but we can seal him away" said Sonic. The kids looked at Sonic in confusion. Sonic then told them to follow him. The kids listened. They flew over to where the special stone was. Sonic and the kids then carried the stone over to the fiery orb. Sonic then told the kids to hold up the special meteor. The kids did as they were told. Sonic then concentrated and used the power of the emeralds on the orb of Iblis. The fiery orb then turned into a stream of flames as it flew into the meteor. Sonic then grabbed the stone and told the kids to let go. Streaks of fire circled around the meteor. The kids nodded and let go. Sonic then looked at the kids.
"I'll be back guys" said Sonic. The kids felt confused at what Sonic said. Sonic then focused again and used another technique of the Chaos Emeralds.
"Chaos Control!" yelled Sonic. Suddenly, Sonic and the meteor were covered in a bright light and then vanished. The dino kids went wide-eyed. They all looked around for Sonic. Sonic then appeared near the edge of space. He then flew towards space while holding the stone.
"Sayonara, Iblis!" Sonic yelled as he shoved the meteor into outer space with great force. The meteor started to fly far away from the planet. Iblis was gone. Sonic then felt the cold of space starting to choke him. He quickly then shouted, "Chaos Control!" Sonic then vanished in a flash of bright light.
The kids waited for Sonic to return. They all started to feel upset that Sonic could be in trouble. But then suddenly, they saw a bright flash of light. Sonic returned unharmed. The kids smiled and flew over to Sonic, and hugged him. Sonic hugged back.
"You didn't think I was gonna leave you guys alone, did you?" Sonic said with a smile. Sonic and the kids then flew back to the group. The kids asked about the 'Chaos Control' ability. Sonic explained that it can be used to control time and to teleport away fast. The kids felt very surprised. The Mobians and the Dinosaurs were happy to see that Sonic and the kids were okay. The parents embraced their children while Tails and Amy embraced Sonic. Knuckles and Shadow nodded with a smile. Tails and Sonic then high-fived.
"You did it Sonic!" exclaimed Tails.
"That was awesome!" exclaimed Knuckles.
"Nobody can take down my Sonic" stated Amy. Sonic chuckled a little. The parents then praised their children.
"You all saved the day children!" exclaimed Grandpa Longneck.
"You all took down that monster!" exclaimed Topps.
"You saved our home and all of us" said Grandma Longneck.
"We're all proud of you" said Ducky's mother. The kids felt very happy.
"Yeah. Did you see how strong we were? That monster didn't stand a chance" Cera said with pride.
"That monster was very strong but we were stronger. We were. We were" said Ducky.
"We beat that big monster" said Petrie. Spike added with "Uh huh."
"Yeah, but we couldn't have done it without Sonic" Littlefoot said with a smile. The other kids agreed. Sonic smiled and nodded at their words. Sonic and the kids then turned back to normal. Their powers and golden colors vanished. The 7 Chaos Emeralds appeared in the air. The Mobians then focused on the emeralds' power to restore the valley. The emeralds started rotating in a circle in a fast way while glowing brightly. The world started to repair itself. The land started to come back together and the lava started to disappear. The dark clouds also vanished. Silver and Blaze got their powers back as well. They both got up and thanked Sonic and the kids. They all nodded. Within a few moments, the Great Valley was restored. Everything was back to normal again. Suddenly, a bright light appeared and covered Sonic and Littlefoot. They both closed their eyes because of the bright light.
Somewhere in a mysterious place…
After a few seconds, Sonic and Littlefoot then opened their eyes. They were in some kind of void. There was some faint blue light around them. They both had no idea where they were. Littlefoot then saw a familiar creature that walked towards them. Littlefoot then recognized the old Clubtail.
"Rooter?" said Littlefoot.
The old Clubtail smiled. "Hello kid. You and your friend did great."
Littlefoot then hugged Rooter. Sonic didn't know much about Rooter but he was happy that Littlefoot was friends with him. Rooter then said that someone else wants to see him too. Littlefoot then looked forward as he saw another familiar face. A Longneck adult then came over. Sonic thought who could be. Littlefoot went wide-eyed as he realized who the Longneck was.
"Mother?" said Littlefoot.
Littlefoot's mother smiled. "Yes. It's me, dear Littlefoot."
Littlefoot ran over to his mother. His mother lowered her head to Littlefoot. They both nuzzled each other. Littlefoot hugged his mother. Sonic then walked over. Littlefoot's mother then smiled at Sonic. Sonic rubbed the back of his head in shyness.
"Uh, hi" Sonic said with a smile. Littlefoot's mother then nuzzled Sonic. Sonic then chuckled lightly.
"So you're Littlefoot's mother" said Sonic. Littlefoot's mother nodded.
Littlefoot's eyes got watery. "I've missed you so much, mother."
"I know my Littlefoot. But we don't get to choose how much time we have in the world. That's why we should be thankful for what time we do have" said Littlefoot's mother.
"I wished that you didn't have to leave so soon" Littlefoot said as a tear went down his face.
Littlefoot's mother smiled gently. "Oh, my sweet Littlefoot. I never left you even when I left the world. I told you that I will always be with you. And I'm so proud of you. Of what you've become and how you changed many things. (Looks at Sonic) And how you've made good friends. Even ones who are from another world."
Littlefoot then looked at Sonic with a smile. Sonic smiled back. Littlefoot's mother then looked at Sonic with a smile.
"Thank you for being there for my Littlefoot, Sonic. Thank you for being his friend when he needed it most. I want you to always be there for him and the others" said Littlefoot's mother.
Sonic nodded. "You're welcome. And I will. I always keep my word."
Littlefoot's mother said that it was time for her and Rooter to leave. Littlefoot's mother then said that she loves her son very much. The Longneck nuzzled Sonic and her son one last time. Littlefoot had a couple of tears go down his face but he smiled. A thought then came to Sonic's head and he asked about what happened to Littlefoot's father. Littlefoot's mother replied, "You'll find out soon enough." Sonic and Littlefoot looked at each other in surprise. Littlefoot and Sonic said their Good-Byes as Littlefoot's mother and Rooter then walked towards a bright white light and vanished. A bright light then covered Sonic and Littlefoot again.
Back in the Valley…
Sonic and Littlefoot were back with the others. It looked like nobody saw what Sonic and Littlefoot saw. They both decided to keep the vision a secret. Though, Sonic wondered how he and Littlefoot got to see Littlefoot's mother. Sonic then asked Littlefoot about Rooter. Littlefoot explained that Rooter comforted him by saying that his mother will always live on in his heart and by the things his mother taught him. Sonic then smiled.
Meanwhile, Eggman found what was left of Metal Sonic and flew back to his ship. He called back his dino servants as they started to wake up. Inside his base, Eggman then saw Nega appear on screen. The evil genius heard Nega say that he didn't want to work with Eggman anymore since Eggman didn't keep his end of the bargain. Eggman tried to apologize but Nega ended the conversation and the screen went black. Eggman got upset but he paid little mind to it. He was starting to think about his next plan to attack Sonic's home. So Eggman activated his ship and went back to his world.
Back in the meeting area, the dino parents were deciding the punishments for Pterano and the Claw Heads. The grownups gave mean looks to Pterano and the Claw Heads. Grandpa Longneck looked at Pterano and the Claw Heads.
"Quite frankly, your behaviors have been inexcusable" said Grandpa Longneck. The 3 guilty dinos felt very upset. The elder Longneck then told the 3 dinos of the bad things they did. How Pterano kidnapped Ducky and for being deceitful. And how Ozzy and Strut helped Eggman to try harming Sonic, the kids, and the Great Valley.
"But because the 3 of you helped Sonic and the kids when Eggman attacked again, your punishments will be reduced" said Grandpa Longneck. The 3 dinos cheered up a little and smiled lightly.
"They will?" said Pterano.
"Really?" added Strut.
"Yes. We have decided that the 3 of you should be banished to the Mysterious Beyond until 5 of the cold times have passed (5 years)" said Grandpa Longneck. Pterano and the Claw Heads raised both eyebrows and then had sad expressions. Petrie was very surprised at what he heard about his uncle's punishment.
"5 cold times? That so long!" Petrie said with an upset expression.
Topps then frowned. "Yes. And some of us think it should be a lot longer. (Looks at Ozzy and Strut) Especially, for those 2 guys."
Ozzy sighed in sadness. Strut then looked at his brother. "Well, we have been to the Mysterious Beyond before. Maybe it's not so bad" said Strut. Ozzy frowned lightly but cheered up a little.
Pterano felt a little more upset about the punishment. Pterano then told the grownups that he'll be alone and defenseless in the Mysterious Beyond.
"Is that really fair?" asked Pterano.
All the grownups simply replied with a loud "Yes!"
Pterano then sighed in defeat. Petrie then begged the grownups to let Pterano stay and that Pterano was very sorry. Petrie's mother then said that Pterano may be remorseful for his actions but he must still take responsibility for what he did. Same goes to Ozzy and Strut.
"But…" started Petrie. Pterano then came in.
"Petrie, she's right" said Pterano. Petrie then looked at his uncle with sad eyes.
"We must all be accountable for our actions. I'll be fine" said Pterano.
"He's right. And we'll be fine too" said Strut.
Ozzy smiled lightly. "Besides, Pterano won't be alone."
"Because we'll be by his side" said Strut
Pterano felt surprised at what he heard as he looked at the Claw Heads. Ozzy and Strut smiled lightly. Pterano smiled back. Pterano then looked back at his nephew with a smile. Petrie felt pretty sad. Petrie said that he will miss him. Pterano then said that he will miss his nephew too. They both hugged each other. Pterano then said that maybe someday, he, Ozzy, and Strut can prove that they can be trustworthy. Sonic walked over to the Claw Heads.
"Maybe you guys aren't so bad after all. I hope you learned that Eggman isn't someone you can trust" said Sonic. Littlefoot then came over.
"Yeah, thank you for helping us to stop Eggman and for protecting us" said Littlefoot. Ozzy and Strut nodded.
"I guess I was wrong about being an enemy to you and the children, Sonic. You really are a hero" said Ozzy. Sonic smiled and nodded.
Topps now frowned at Pterano. "Now, go on you. Scoot! Go on, scoot!" said Topps. The tough Three-Horn then tried to charge at Pterano. The Flyer then took to the sky and flew off. Topps then looked at the Claw Heads.
"You guys too! Go on!" exclaimed Topps. The Claw Heads nodded a few times nervously and ran off. They both waved Good-Bye as they ran off to the Mysterious Beyond. The kids then thought of something. They asked Sonic what happened to Iblis and the stone. Sonic simply told them that he made it so that Iblis will never bother them again. Sonic then introduced Amy, Shadow, Blaze, and Silver to the herd. The parents and the Far Walkers were very surprised to hear that Silver and Blaze are from the far future. They were also surprised to hear that Shadow was just as fast and strong as Sonic. Sonic's face got a little red when Amy told the herd that she was Sonic's girlfriend. That earned some chuckles from the herd. Sonic sighed. Amy then hugged Sonic's arm. Sonic rolled his eyes. The kids laughed a little. Sonic then decided to show his Mobian friends around the Great Valley.
Later that night…
The Mobians got ready to head back to their world. Sonic and Littlefoot walked over to the Rainbow Faces who were on a small hill. They all watched as the Far Walkers were on the move to another journey. Sonic then looked at the Rainbow Faces.
"You guys leaving too?" asked Sonic.
The Rainbow Faces looked up at the night sky. A shooting star went by. The Rainbow Faces looked back at Sonic and Littlefoot.
"Anytime now" said Zena. Orion nodded.
"Hey, thanks for helping us back at the mountain and for finding the emeralds. I don't know how you did it but thanks" Sonic said with a smile. The Rainbow Faces nodded with a smile.
"You're welcome Sonic" said Orion.
"So the stone was magic after all" said Littlefoot.
"Yes, but you see, the stone and its power never really mattered" said Orion. Sonic and Littlefoot felt a little confused.
"It didn't?" said Littlefoot.
"No, it's what you did to discover the truth. That's what was important" said Orion. Sonic and Littlefoot raised an eyebrow. The Rainbow Faces were getting ready to leave. But Littlefoot walked quickly over to them. He asked why the Rainbow Faces knew so much about many things, and about where Sonic was from, and how could they know about the Chaos Emeralds. Littlefoot looked back and forth at the Rainbow Faces. Sonic then walked over to Littlefoot.
"Who ARE you guys?" asked Littlefoot.
"Yeah, are you guys from another world too?" asked Sonic.
"You might say that Sonic, but we can't tell you everything" said Zena.
"You have a sharp mind Littlefoot for someone so young and of course, you have a great mind and heart, Sonic" Orion said as he looked at Littlefoot and Sonic.
"Oh, thanks" said Littlefoot.
"Uh, yeah. Thanks" added Sonic. Zena then said that they must remember that there is more to the Circle of Life and everything else than they could imagine.
"In the Mysterious Beyond?" asked Littlefoot.
"No. As we told Topps, BEYOND the Mysterious Beyond" said Orion. Orion then tried to tell Sonic and Littlefoot what stars really are, but Zena interrupted by clearing her throat.
"Well, that we would be telling, wouldn't it? But remember, when you think that you've reached the end of your journey, it's only the beginning" said Orion.
"And you may find that you'll have friends somewhere far beyond this world" said Zena. Sonic and Littlefoot smiled.
"Yep. When one adventure ends, another begins" said Sonic. The Rainbow Faces nodded.
"Oh, would you look at that!" Orion said as he pointed somewhere behind Sonic and Littlefoot.
"Look at what?" asked Sonic. Both Sonic and Littlefoot looked behind themselves but saw nothing. While they were distracted, the Rainbow Faces disappeared as a pillar of blue light took them away. Sonic and Littlefoot saw a comet moving fast in the sky and then vanished. The Rainbow Faces were really alien dinosaurs. Sonic and Littlefoot had both eyebrows raised in great surprise. But then they both smiled.
"Their secret is safe with us" said Sonic. Littlefoot then replied "Yeah."
The other kids then walked over to Sonic and Littlefoot. They saw some kind of light that got their attention.
"What's going on guys?" asked Cera.
"Sorry, can't tell you that" said Sonic.
"Why not?" Cera said in surprise.
Littlefoot smiled. "That would be telling, wouldn't it?"
"Telling what?" asked Ducky.
"Yeah, what you guys know that we no know?" said Petrie. Littlefoot then said that there is very much that they don't know, but the fun part is how much they still have to learn. Sonic nodded in agreement. The other kids then said that they know a lot. Petrie then said that he knows more than his uncle. Sonic then laughed lightly.
Sonic and the other Mobians said their Good-Byes as they used the emeralds to head back home. The kids hugged Sonic one last time. Sonic promised that he'll be back soon. The kids nodded. The kids also hugged Tails and Knuckles. Both Mobians laughed a little. The dinosaurs said Good-Bye as well. The emeralds created a time portal to send them back home. The Mobians walked through the portal and vanished.
A few months later…
Littlefoot and the kids were having fun on a beautiful sunny day. 2 members joined the group. One was their old friend Chomper, the friendly Sharptooth, and the other was Ruby, the Fast Runner. The dino kids really missed Sonic since he was gone for a while. Suddenly, the kids saw a streak of blue wind go by. It stopped close by. It was Sonic, standing before them. The kids smiled brightly. The kids ran over and hugged Sonic. Ruby knew about Sonic thanks to Littlefoot and the others telling her about Sonic's adventures with them.
The kids told Sonic about some of their adventures and introduced Ruby. (The events of: The Big Freeze, Journey to Big Water, The Great Longneck Migration, Invasion of the Tinysauruses, The Great Day of Flyers, and the Wisdom of Friends.)
Sonic also told them some of his adventures. (The events of: Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 2006, Unleashed, Colors, and Generations.) Sonic was only a little surprised of the kids' adventures because he has seen many other wondrous things on his journey. However, the kids were very surprised by Sonic's adventures. How Sonic fought the Black Arms with Shadow, fought Iblis again and Solaris, helped the Wisp aliens, and meeting a past version of himself.
Sonic then asked if they want to race. But Cera then said that they're not as fast as him and it would be unfair. But then Sonic said that he could change that. The kids felt confused. Sonic then closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly, the 7 Chaos Emeralds appeared. The kids then smiled. They knew what Sonic was thinking.
Sonic and the kids then raced in the sky. Thanks to the emeralds, the kids were flying fast like Sonic. They zoomed through the sky. The grownups watched them go with smiles. The kids and Sonic laughed and had fun while flying pretty fast.
"Alright! Race you guys to the Mysterious Beyond and back to the Valley!" shouted Sonic.
"You got it!" exclaimed Littlefoot.
"I'm gonna win this race!" exclaimed Cera.
"We'll see about that Cera!" exclaimed Ducky.
"Yeah!" exclaimed Petrie.
"Maybe I could win" said Chomper.
"Maybe me too" said Ruby. Everyone then raced to the Mysterious Beyond. Sonic then looked at the 'screen' and winked. Super Sonic then zoomed off with the super kids.
And so, Sonic and the dino children went on more adventures. Along with their new members, Chomper and Ruby. They will face old and new challenges. Along with their foes: Dr. Eggman and Red Claw. But they will also face a new enemy. Someone who is from another world. And soon, the dino kids will get to see Sonic's world.
But that's… another story.
The End
Sonic's adventures will continue soon…
