One Year Later…
The way things worked out, Sonic was actually alright. When Knuckles found him, he called the ambulance. He had to stay in the hospital for a couple days, but he was alright. Luckily, no important part of his brain was damaged. Just Mathematics. Here's my interpretation of someone giving him a math problem:
"Hey Sonic, what's three plus five?
"Chilidog. Why?"
"Oh, just wondering."
No one ever bother's Knuckles when he goes into a gym, anymore. In fact, they gave him a private room in the gym. You wouldn't guess who his assistants are: The Three Muscular Echidnas
And for Eclipse and Rippal? Well, they got pretty happy, together. Something like this happened…
"The fireworks are amazing, aren't they, Rippal?" It was the fifth of July, on a Saturday. It was celebrating Independence Day one day late. "Yeah…they do." Eclipse and Rippal looked eye to eye for one moment, and they both smiled. "Hey, Eclipse, I'm happy you bought us that Camaro. You know that I wanted it."
"Anytime. The fireworks look beautiful, don't you think?"
"Yeah. Is there anything else you see here that looks beautiful?"
"I just see the fireworks. Why, is there something that you see that I don't?" She looked at him, and said, "Yeah, kinda. You can see it, too."
"Well, what is it?"
"I'm not telling you until you figure it out."
"Oh, come on!"
"You're clueless." They were both silent for a few moments. "I wanted you to say I was beautiful."
"Oh. Well, you are. You're one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I love you, Rippal. There isn't anyone I wouldn't rather be with. Speaking of being with people, I have something to show you. I Think you'll like it."
He reached into his pocket. "Close Your eyes." He brought out a box holding a ring and put it in front of her. "Open your eyes, now." She opened her eyes, and gasped.
"You don't even have to ask. I say yes."
And that's how Rippal And Eclipse are doing these days. They seem pretty happy, don't they? Yeah, I haven't seen a better couple. Of course, you'd probably expect me to say that. This chapter is dedicated to that one special reader. You know who you are.
Well, I know you are wondering about Shadow, aren't you? I'll answer that. His soul went into a clone of Eclipse. Eggman has no idea. Soon, there will be a killer formed in his ship. But he's not going to come until the third story (hint hint). The next story, which is currently in development, is a prologue to this one. It will involve how Rippal and Eclipse met before they got their powers, on Anti-Mobius. The theme is the growing of Darkness, how it was come to be, what powerful force created it. I hope you enjoyed my story, for there is more to come. Next time: Eclipse: The Odyssey
The End
