Task 5-3
"The Sealing Lamp"
With hours remaining before Sonic's life terminates, the heroes travel up the palace with all of the World Rings to present to Erazor Djinn. As the time ticks down to irreversible demise, the challenges presented becomes harder and harder, to the point where they seem inescapable. Sonic and Rainbow Dash are forced to leave the adults behind as they reached the height of the palace.
Facing off against Erazor Djinn is their final task before setting themselves free from the curse and the doomed city. But Erazor Djinn is a tricky man, and he's not the one who should be trusted. The decisive battle to determine the fate of the world is here, and one action could change everything.
[Beginning of Episode]
[Great Palace; 2 Hours, 45 Minutes Remaining]
Erazor Djinn watches from the ground level of the floating palace, watching as the surrounding area disappears into the void. Blazes shoot up from the ground, sending pillars of smoke up in the sky. The once great city of Atmeni is now nothing more than a pile of rubble, with only a few lucky buildings still standing in a useable state. As the hours tick down to the hour in which he was released, Erazor Djinn grins knowing that the people he tasked will get so close to bringing the World Rings to him.
"It's a beautiful storm of a crisis without end," Erazor Djinn stated. "This city will crumble under my influence. I see many lives lost in this turmoil and a crisis in the coming years. These rangers will realize that it's not just Sonic's life that is in jeopardy, but their own. Yes...yes! This is what I've been dreaming about in my revenge against those humans! Their world, destroyed in the hands of me!" He then manically laughs before heading back inside.
[Bottom Floors; 2 Hours, 45 Minutes Remaining]
The first flew floors brought little trouble for the heroes, at least until they encountered a Mythical Creature, one that happens to have a World Ring. The creature's name is Umbra, and he bears a resemblance to the previous Mythical Creature that was fought. While Solaris is colored in yellow and white, Umbra is colored purple and black. Instead of a red core, he has a blue core that they must target.
It seems that Umbra has heard about the mistakes that Solaris has made, as he now commands an army of soldiers serving the dark. some of which used to be soldiers of the light. They are relentless in stopping the rangers from touching Umbra.
Firefly shoots at the blue core alongside Bow, while Chuck, Miss Yearling, and Cliff are dealing with the soldiers of the dark. Aleena is at the front, shielding those behind her from the attacks.
"Man, these Mythical Creatures just won't give up, will they?" Firefly asked, beginning to sound exhausted and drained.
"That seems to be the case," Cliff replied. "These soldiers are not going to let Umbra fall!"
Miss Yearling watched as the blue core gets bombarded. She starts to notice a few cracks developing. "It's working!" she shouted. "Keep at it and this fight will be ours!"
Meanwhile, Sonic, Rainbow, and King Solomon are watching behind a pillar.
Sonic starts to feel dizzy again. He felt like the world is tilting to make him fall. He falls down exhausted from the Flame of Judgement, only to be caught by Rainbow before he can get to the floor. He snapped himself awake, trying to ignore how little life he has remaining. "How much time we have remaining?" he asked, breathing heavily. "I feel so close to collapsing and never waking up."
Rainbow checked her watch, still holding on to Sonic. "3:30 in the afternoon," she replied. "Two hours, thirty minutes remaining."
"That should be plenty of time," King Solomon remarked. Then he looks behind Umbra at the doorway on the opposite side of the room they're in. "If the path to reaching him is not this complicated."
Firefly makes one last shot at Umbra. She charges up her Delta Crossbow, firing off a blast that is the equivalent of several uncharged shots. The sheer power is enough to turn a few visible cracks on the blue core into cracks deep enough to cause it to shatter. Once the blue core is shattered, Umbra suddenly goes unstable. The army of soldiers disappears into the air.
"We did it!" Firefly cheered as Umbra crashes down. "We weakened it! Now, time for the sealing process!"
Cliff pulls out the genie lamp and points it at Umbra. "Hope you like living in this prison, Umbra," he said. "You're going to enjoy spending time with your twin." Umbra turns into purple dust that then gets sucked into the lamp. After Umbra was sucked up, the genie lamp shakes for a moment, as if something is happening inside the Sealed World.
The Purple World Ring forms where Umbra once hovered. It landed on the ground in front of their feet. Sonic walks up to the World Ring, with Rainbow and King Solomon behind him.
"There it is. The final World Ring," King Solomon said. "Now in our hands."
Sonic kneels down to pick it up. He feels an intense emotion flowing into him.
"How do you feel?" Rainbow asked.
Sonic lets a tear drop from his eyes. He wipes it off his face. "I feel as somber as before," he replied, sounding sad. "This ring really speaks to me. I hope that this will end, that the curse will be lifted and the people free from the turmoil." He then turns around, facing the doorway that they had entered. He can hear the cries of those who are suffering. "On this day, so many have suffered, and their sadness...I can feel it." He then stared at the Flame of Judgement as it saps away his remaining life. "I can't help but think about how you guys will feel when I'm gone forever, and the doom that this world will spiral into."
Rainbow had no idea how to comfort him, as she felt exactly how he felt. She clutches her chest, feeling the heartache that comes from seeing a best friend slowly succumbing to a terminating condition. She has no words for this.
Cliff walks up to Sonic, grabbing him by the shoulder. Sonic looks up to him. "Cheer up, Sonic," Cliff told him, knowing that he was a favorite of his. "Even though it might be your last few hours, we can make the most of it." He then looks ahead towards the next doorway. "And we can do that by finishing this for good. We just have to get up there."
Sonic stared at the upcoming doorway for a moment. He shakes the negative feeling from him, replacing it with a desire to complete what he has started. "You're right, Cliff," he said. "We must finish what we started. I can't let the Flame of Judgement slow me down."
Before anyone can make a single step, King Solomon gives them one last thing they should keep in mind. "One more thing before we can advance," he began. "Erazor Djinn has been trapped in that lamp for so long that he is now bound to it. He is now the genie of the lamp, and as the genie of the lamp, he must grant three wishes. No matter what you say, he has no choice but to make it happen. It might be good for sealing monsters away, but it's also good for making powerful deity-like beings into doing what you say. I know my ancestors did it the first time he sealed him away. So, what do you wish for?"
Sonic pondered for a moment. "I'll think about it," he replied.
Cliff then hands back the genie lamp to Sonic.
"Now, let us proceed," King Solomon said. "We've got plenty of time to get to the top of this palace. Make haste, however, as the margin for error is very small. Don't let your enemies slow you down."
[Middle Floors; 2 Hours Remaining]
How many times do they have to transform? Five? Six? Seven? They did this so many times in one day that it's a miracle that they were able to get their energy back so quickly. They've done so much work in a single day that even some of the best and most experienced ranger teams will feel jealous.
But now, they're about to transform yet again, because now they were faced with an army of dead soldiers.
"My goodness, we are doing this again?" Aleena complained.
"We've been transforming way too many times on just this day," Firefly groaned.
"Well, time to transform," Miss Yearling said. "Yet again."
The heroes got back into ranger form and got ready to fight.
Not even a single minute into this fight and already, they've figured out that they're being slowed down too much for them to make it in time.
"Ah! There's too many of them!" Bow screamed. "How can we make it in time?"
"Well, we can't have Sonic lounge around outside the battle," Chuck said. "He needs to separate from us."
"But he's so drained of his vitality!" Cliff pointed out. "How is he going to protect himself?"
"He doesn't have to go at it alone," King Solomon pointed out. "All he needs is a partner, and one partner only. Any more will slow him down."
Firefly kicked a soldier down. "You mean Rainbow?" she asked.
Rainbow grabs on to Sonic. They lock eyes with each other. "I'll be with you on the way to Erazor Djinn," she said. "You okay with that?"
"If that means spending my last few moments with you, them I'm in," Sonic replied. He then looked at the adults. "Also, it's my only option since we've barely gotten into battles and the adults are getting tired of fighting."
Chuck struggles to hold off against a soldier who is locking his sword against his. "Well, if you say so," he said, looking at the children. "Good luck out there, you two. I hope you end this before it's too late."
Aleena blocked off another attack. She nearly dropped her shield. "Don't worry about us," she told the children. "We can hold them off for just a little longer."
Sonic and Rainbow then hold on to each other's hands. "Ready?" Rianobw asked. Sonic nodded. "Let's go!" The two then sprinted off into the next doorway, knocking away some of the soldiers along the way.
"Oh, what are relief!" Cliff said. "They knocked some of them out."
[Upper Levels; 1 Hour Remaining]
Rainbow continued to run around the floors and going up stairs, taking Sonic along by the arm. She tries to make it up as fast as she can, but Sonic's exhaustion slowed her down. Sonic soon slipped and fell down to the floor.
Rainbow turned around and saw Sonic lying on the floor. "Sonic!" she cried. She ran up to him to help him get back up. "Come on, Sonic. Just hold on for a little longer. We're almost there! Just a little further! We can't fail now, not at this moment."
Sonic lifted himself up with the assistance of Rainbow, though he is gasping for air. "This Flame of Judgement..." he wheezed. "My life energy is nearly drained. I feel like I can't go on anymore...I have so little time left." He looks up only to find more soldiers blocking their way, much to his dismay. "Oh come on...so close to the finish line and he throws this at us? I don't think I have enough vitality to fight them anymore."
Rainbow patted on Sonic's back to assure him. "Don't give up, Sonic," she said. "I'm sure that as long as we're together, there's nothing that will stop us. Not even the threat of death!"
"But you're just one person who's able to deal with this!" Sonic complained. "I'm useless right now! I have so little life force remaining that I can't afford to risk my life."
Rainbow grabs on to Sonic's arm, lifting it to her. They lock eyes, with Rainbow putting on an asserting look. "Trust me. We've been through situations like this," she told him. I'm sure that we'll make it through. Don't lose confidence in yourself, Sonic. We're on our own from here on out. If anything happens to us, we'll have to defend ourselves, even when our life is on the line." She then glared back at the army that is approaching them. "Come on. Let's transform together."
Facing the army standing in their way, Sonic and Rainbow used the Gem Morphers and began to charge right through the army. Rainbow plows through the majority of the soldiers, while Sonic deals with the remaining few who are still standing. Sonic makes sure that he isn't hit, as his little remaining life makes the margin of error tiny.
Rainbow made it through to the other side, standing in front of a doorway. "We're through!" she announced as Sonic came in stumbling and gasping. "See? I knew that you can make it without getting hit."
Sonic felt his heart stop several times after plowing through that army. He couldn't believe that he has made it unscathed. "I feel like I'm at the edge of my life!" he shouted.
Rainbow looked behind them and saw the army slowly approaching them. She then looked ahead to the upcoming stairs. "Keep going!" she said. "We're almost there! We can't fail now! We're so close to failure!"
The two then sprinted off up the stairs, continuing the assent.
[Ground Levels; 30 Minutes Remaining]
Bursting out of a door, Sonic and Rainbow stumbled upon what seemed to be entrance room. There are chunks of the building on the ground.
Rainbow scanned the area, feeling a wave of familarity as she looks around. "Hmm...I recognize this place when we first got here," she said. "Even with all the debris that's lying around."
Sonic noticed a doorway leading outside. He saw a trashed garden with the plants tipped over. There's something about the floor they're in that makes them feel that htheir destinationn is close. "Are we at the ground floor?" Sonic asked.
"This must be the entrance to the palace," Rainbow concluded. "We must be at the ground floor. That means that the throne room is also close to us."
"Thank goodness!" Sonic sighed in relief. "I was so worried that I might make it before time runs out. Speaking of which..." He chekced his watch, only for his worry to come back to him. "Thirty minutes?!"
Rainbow grabbed Sonic by the collar. "Stop fretting about the time," she told him. "Let's head to the throne room!" She then ran off, taking Sonic along.
[Throne Room Entrance; 25 Minutes Remaining]
Sonic and Rainbow stand before a large door. On the door is a picture depicting seven rings. The rest of the image is not important to focus on.
"This must be the entrance to the throne room," Rainbow said. She pushes on it, and it doesn't budge. "Seems to be locked, though." She then tried pulling on the door knob. Nothing happens still.
Sonic focus on the seven circular shapes on the door. He can't help but feel that he has the key to the door. "This door...it has seven rings on it," he said.
Rainbow looks at the ring pictures on the door. "Oh," she said in a deadpan tone. "I wonder what we are going to use to unlock that?"
"Yeah," Sonic replies as he reaches into his jacket pocket. "I wonder."
Taking out the World Rings, he presents it before the door. The seven rings then glowed on the door, which opened up to the throne room. There, they find Erazor Djinn sitting on the throne with his elbow sitting on an armrest, supporting his head as he leans on it.
"Here it comes," Rainbow said. "Our final trial." They then entered the throne room, with the doors closing behind them.
"Well, well, well," Erazor Djinn greeted. "If it isn't the boy that I cursed one day ago. And look, he's even brought along a partner along for the ride. Tell me, have you gotten all the World Rings like I told you?"
"Why'd you asked?" Sonic asked, shrugging. "That door won't budge unless all the World Rings are presented. How else will I have gotten to here?"
"I'm just delaying the moment before your doom," Erazor Djinn chuckled. "And now that you have brought me all of the World Rings, time for you to hand them to me!"
Sonic took out the World Rings to hand them to Erazor Djinn,, only to get distracted by the Flame of Judgement. "Hey, what are you going to do about this thing?" he asked, pointing to the flame on his chest.
"Shut up about it and hand me the World Rings!" Erazor Djinn shouted.
The World Rings were then forcefully yanked out of Sonic's hand. They float around Erazor Djinn.
"There's just one more question that bothers me," Rainbow spoke. "Why do you want the World Rings so badly? All I know about them is that they contain an intense emotion and that's it. How powerful could they possibly be?"
"Rainbow...remember what I said about the potential dangers of gathering all of the World Rings and using them?" Sonic asked. Rainbow then looked at Sonic.
The World Rings floated around Erazor Djinn in an arc. The order they're in from their left to their right is exactly the same as the order in which they got them. "Hope. Pleasure. Hatred. Rage. Joy. Wishes. Sadness," Erazor Djinn said. "These are the seven hearts that make up the stories. The seven core emotions that you humans go through. The World Rings are not called that name for no reason. They are the heart and soul of the world. They have the power to change one's emotions, change the world around the holder, and grant the user with immeasurable power.
"What?" Sonic gasped.
"So that's what you've been fearing?" Rainbow asked.
Sonic did not answer. He'd always trembled every time he collected a World Ring, and he doesn't know why until now.
"However, in order to gain full access to this power, someone has to be sacrificed," Erazor Djinn mentioned.
Erazor Djinn then pulled the Flame of Judgement out of Sonic's chest, much to their confusion. "Wha-?" Sonic gasped. On the plus side, he is no longer having his life force drained. On the downside...
"Sonic, this Flame of Judgement has burned away your life force," Erazor Djinn said. "How about I use it to exterminate what little life force you have remaining?" He then throws it at Sonic, intending to finish him off.
Sonic watched at the Flame of Judgement was thrown at him again. Since this deals damage and he only has a tiny amount of his own life force remaining, this is lethal. He braces himself for the moment of his demise, shutting his eyes at the last moment. The Flame of Judgement made an impact sound. To his surprise, he wasn't finished. He doesn't know how he survived. He doesn't remember any pain. Then he opens his eyes, and to his surprise, Rainbow is standing in his way. She has thrown herself into the life of fire at the last moment and took the hit herself. Sonic was stunned for a moment. He was about to ask her why, but then she collapses ight before his eyes.
"Rainbow!" Sonic cried. He goes down to her body and shakes her. "Oh, Rainbow. Are you alright? Please, respond to me! Rainbow?" He shakes her multiple times in hopes of getting a response. He gets nothing. He checks her pulse and it seems that she is still alive. However, her condition is critical and he started to fear that she might perish before his eyes, just like how she feared that he would perish. Upon realizing this, Sonic teared up and cried over her body.
Erazor Djinn grunted towards the action this girl has taken. "So, it looks like someone is loyal to a friend, even if that friend has only minutes left in his life," he remarked. Suddenly, the World Rings began to come towards him. "What the-?" he gasped. He absorbs the power of one World Ring. "Ugh!" He felt pain as the World Ring enters his body. "Hey, I did not command you to come to me! Halt this-" He is cut off when all of the World Rings come into him at once against his will.
The area starts to shake as if an intense earthquake has happened. Erazor Djinn transformed from a human looking genie into a monstrous form. He has six arms each with a ring on the wrist, as well as one more on the neck.
"I am Perfect Erazor Djinn," the monster claimed, his voice reverberated in the air. "I will erase this world and replace it with my own! I'll remake this reality into my own vision! There will be no stopping this. You cannot get back what has been erased."
Dark aura emits from Sonic's hand as he continues to cry. Just then, three of the World Rings eject out of Perfect Erazor Djinn. The Rings of Sadness, Hatred, and Rage. Sonic absorbs their powers as he lifts his head out of Rainbow's body. "You...you...you!" he yelled. "You monster!"
Sonic transformed into his dark form, fueled by anger, rage, and sadness. The three World Rings intensified his emotions and granted him powers beyond his imagination.
"Rainbow...I will avenge you!" Dark Sonic yelled. "I will avenge this world! This fight is for you!" He then takes out his Chaos Sword and charges towards Perfect Erazor Djinn.
As the adults make their way through the palace to catch up with the children, they face several waves of soldiers. They fought and fought, getting them out of their way to the top. Suddenly, the entire palace started to shake, this time it felt like they're in the middle of an earthquake, with the potential to flatten entire cities.
"Oh no!" Miss Yearling gasped. "Are we too late?"
Cliff looked around as the shaking continues. "I can't tell," he said. "I don't know what's going on outside."
Chuck continues to fight the army, slashing them away with his sword. Suddenly, they began to disappear, which brings satisfaction to him. Then he turns to face another, only for it to disappear before he could even touch them. "What the-?" he gasped. "Huh? They're disappearing?"
Firefly looked around and saw several soldiers disappear before her eyes, many of whom she did not land a hit on. "Okay, this is getting weird," she said. "Why are they disappearing?"
They then hear someone scream loudly from far away. It seems that the sound is coming from above them.
"Oh, I hope our children make it!" Aleena whimpered. "That scream...it shivers me."
"We've got to catch up with them," Bow told them. "Who knows what monster they're facing now."
The parents runs forward to catch up with their children, while Cliff and Miss Yearling stayed behind. They look at the ceiling, knowing that Sonic and Rainbow are above them.
"Sonic, Rainbow. I know you can do it," Miss Yearling said, putting trust in them. "You've been through this many times. You can make it, I trust in you!"
"Don't fail us, you two," Cliff said. "You're so close. You can't afford to lose this!"
Dark Sonic clashed against Perfect Erazor Djinn. He slashes away at his body, only for his opponent to send several powerful blasts in his direction. Dark Sonic dodges out of the way of the attacks. Perfect Erazor Djinn then responded by taking out several swords, all using them against Sonic. The two had a sword fight in the throne room, sometimes going up in the air.
Sonic knows that he's outnumbered in terms of number of rings, with three compared to Perfect Erazor Djinn who has four. However, his emotions amplified the powers of his attacks, which he hoped would be enough to overcome the difference in ring count.
Perfect Erazor Djinn launched a huge ball towards Dark Sonic. Dark Sonic catches the ball and resisted it's path. Using the powers granted to him, he grabbed the ball and flings it back towards Perfect Erazor Djinn, stunning him for a while. Dark Sonic then rushes in towards the chest, slashing away at where the heart is. Afterwards, he gets launched far back towards the roof of the palace.
Perfect Erazor Djinn then tries another tactic: using his swords to slash at Dark Sonic from a distance. He slashes a sword, sending out a wave of flames towards Dark Sonic. As he was not anticipating this, Dark Sonic gets himself hit a few times. He focuses on the sword slashes and moved to accordingly. That didn't work. He still finds himself being hit. Once he realizes that there is a delay between the sword slashing and the flame wave reaching him, he focuses more on the approaching him than the sword slashes that are making them. He makes quick progress towards Perfect Erazor Djinn.
Once Perfect Erazor Djinn notices that Dark Sonic is getting close, he launches another ball at Dark Sonic. Dark Sonic gets pushes back a little bit before resisting it. Once he did that, he launches it back towards Perfect Erazor Djinn, stunning him for a moment. Dark Sonic uses this opportunity to slash away at the chest once again.
Perfect Erazor Djinn is not done yet, however. Though nearly defeated, he fights back strong. His last act of attacking is a fury of sword swings at Dark Sonic. Dark Sonic reacts to this and parries all the sword swings as rapidly as he can. Dark Sonic ended up knocking one of the swords out, which has Perfect Erazor Djinn stop for a moment as he tries to regain his sword. A moment is long enough for Dark Sonic, as he rushes in to slash at the chest one final time. He screams with all the fury as he slashes away, before finishing it off with a sword thrust to the chest.
"Impossible..." Perfect Erazor Djinn mutter. "How...how could you do this?"
Perfect Erazor Djinn then disappears into a cloud of smoke turning back to Erazor Djinn. The sky then clears up, revealing the beautiful sky once again. The sun is seen going down towards the horizon. In addition, much of the surronding area is restored, though the structures retained their ruined state.
Sounds of crowds cheering can be heard from down below. In addition, the palace begins to go back to its original place.
Erazor Djinn lays on the floor of the throne room, with a scabbard of a sword in front of him. Dark Sonic is seeen desending down, transforming back into his regular form. Sonic stands in front of the throne, with Erazor Djinn in his sights.
Erazor Djinn crawled towards the scabbard, picking it up. "I shall not be defeated," he declared, "not at the hands of you. If you defeat me, I will return to fight you, again and again. I am immoral! I cannot be vanquished!" He then lets out an evil laugh.
Sonic shakes his head, disagreeing with the oppoent. "Erazor Djinn, if you think that this fight is in your favor simply because I have an inch of my life remaining, then you're mistaken!" he said. He then pulled out the genie lamp.
Erazor Djinn had his eyes widened when he saw the genie lamp. "What the-? The genie lamp?" he gasped. "But...how could it?"
Sonic rubs on the genie lamp. "It's just a scratch," he said. "The functionality isn't compromised." He then used the Monster Analyzer on Erazor Djinn. "And it looks like your claims seem to hold up, because you're a Mythical Creature! The genie of the lamp. You're supposed to grant three wishes from me, remember?"
"I will never grant any wishes from the likes of you!" Erazor Djinn claimed.
Sonic walked up to sit on the throne. "Well, I hope you like my three wishes," he said.
After thinking about it for a moment, and considering the state that the genie is in, Sonic decided that he would wish for the following three things to happen.
"My first wish," Sonic began. "Restore the life force of me and Rainbow Dash!" He then fired off a golden beam at Erazor Djinn.
"My life force!" Erazor screamed as he got struck. He collasped down once again. Two streams then comes out of Erazor Djinn, one of which goes to Sonic, which revitalizes him. "How dare you steal my life force?"
The second stream is directed towards Rainbow, and she wakes up. She got off the floor, checking herself.
"Did...did you just revive her?" Erazor Djinn asked.
"It sure seems like it," Rainbow concluded. "I feel alive again!"
Erazor Djinn was stunned, but this wasn't the last of his troubles.
"Oh, I'm not done yet!" Sonic shouted. "My second wish: Return all of the stolen text!" He fired off another beam.
Erazor Djinn was struck again, and this time streams of text began to escape his body. Erazor Djinn could feel his body getting weaker with every escaping line. "My body..." he moaned. "I swear...I cannot...be vanquished..." He then looks back at Sonic, whimpering and begging. "Sonic...please, have-"
"My third wish," Sonic continued, not letting Erazor Djinn have a chance. "Erazor Djinn! You shall be sentence to an eternity inside your lamp, just like you were in the days of old!" He then pointed the lamp right at Erazor Djinn.
Unexpectedly, the genie lamp tranformed into a golden handgun with a bulge located above the trigger.
Rainbow was stunned when she saw this happen. "Did you just-?"
Sonic fired off the gun at Erazor Djinn, sending an arching orb that soon transforms into a hand. It grabs onto Erazor Djinn.
"What?" Erazor Djinn gasped as soon as he was grabbed. Then he felt himself getting pulled towards Sonic. "Ah! Hey! Let go of me!"
Sonic holds onto the gun as it sucks up Erazor Djinn. Then, he felt something pushing him. It must be Erazor Djinn. "Ah! It's too strong!" he cried. "I can't resist!"
Rainbow ran up to Sonic, grabbing his wrists. "Hold on, Sonic!" she shouted. "I'll help you!" Together, they resisted the push and fought to seal Erazor Djinn away.
As Erazor Djinn felt more of his body going away, he reaches out to Sonic to beg. "Please, Sonic!" he cried. Have mercy on me! I promise, I'll grant you whatever you wish you. I will eliminate the very people that are after you. I promise, I will do good this time."
"Says the genie who tries to kill everyone he meets," Rainbow said, denying him of mercy,
"Face it, Erazor Djinn," Sonic said. "There's no redeeming yourself. For your crimes against humanity, I sentence you to an eternity in this prison. Good bye."
Erazor Djinn lets out one final cry of anger. "Ahh!" he screamed. "I cannot be defeated by a human! Not again! Why?" Erazor Djinn is then fully sucked into the gun.
After Erazor Djinn has been sealed away, he felt the gun in his hand shaking. It first shakes vigoriously, then a little less, then to slight. After those three shakes, nothing else happened, meaning that Erazor Djinn is finally sealed away for good.
"And that's...over," Sonic announced.
The adults entered the entrance hall in its battered state. They look around trying to find the children.
"Where's the children?" King Solomon asked.
"They must be around here somewhere," Cliff replied.
"What happened?" Aleena asked. "Did it end? Have we succeeded?"
There's a feeling of worry as the adults searched for the children. They fear that something has happened to them, and it's not pretty. Fortunately, one voice is all it takes to send a wave of happiness to them.
"Hey guys!" they heard someone said. "Glad that you've caught up with us."
The adults turn their attention to the source of the voice, and they spotted Sonic and Rainbow standing there to greet them.
Aleena had tears running out her eyes. She could not believe. "Sonic!" she cried as she runs up to him. The other parents run up to reunite with their children. Aleena gave Sonic a big hug. "You're okay!"
Sonic felt the warm embrace coming from his mom. "Uh, thanks," he said.
Aleena then let go of Sonic, noticing his tattered look. "Are you alright?" she asked, wondering if something happened to him. "You look battered, but you seem alright." She also looked at his chest and saw something missing. "The Flame of Judgement! It's gone!"
"He took it out of my chest," Sonic explained, "then used it to try to finish me off."
Aleena and Chuck gave Sonic a shocked look. "Oh," they said.
"Only to get me instead because I threw myself in the way," Rainbow added as she felt herself getting hugged.
Bow and Firefly heard this and let go of Rainbow, gasping at her. "Rainbow..." they gasped.
Sonic dusted off his clothing. "Well, that's besides the point," he said. "Point is that Erazor Djinn is gone for good and this curse is lifted from me. That's it. No more. We are done!"
"What about the damages?" King Solomon asked. "Aren't you going to address that?"
Sonic looked around, noting the ruined state of the palace. "Crud..." he realized. "I forgot about that." He shakes the feeling off to replace it with an explanation. "Well, that genie was probably weakened during that battle, so there was no chance that he'll restore Atmeni back into the state it was before this happened. Sorry if I didn't wish for that."
"Speaking of Erazor Djinn, did you sealed him back into his proper place, his genie lamp?" Cliff asked.
Sonic nodded, confirming that Erazor Djinn is now sealed away. "Yes I did," he said, beginning to reach into his coat pocket. "But not before it transformed into this."
The adults jump when they saw that Sonic has a gun. "Whoa!" Miss Yearling gasped in shock. "Since when did you get a sidearm?"
Sonic rubs on the bulge of the handgun. "I have a strange feeling that it transformed to better suit its main job: sealing monsters away," he explained. "Combined that with the Monster Analyzer..." He then took out the Monster Analyzer to show them both. Upon close inspection, he notices that both look very similar. "Whoa! These two are made in the same style! I have myself a set for sealing away Mythical Creatures."
They stared at Sonic for a moment, taking a closer look at the two items he is holding.
Cliff turned towards King Solomon. "Can we keep it?" he asked. "I'm sure that it'll be of use to us when we encounter more Mythical Creatures."
King Solomon pondered for a moment, thinking about the recent events that have happened in the nearby nations. "Hmm...come to think of it, there still is more of those Mythical Creatures that are roaming around," he said. "I think it might be wise if we address this and seal them away. You may keep the set. I do not expect that to come back in my hands anytime soon."
As soon as he heard that the sealing device will now be in their hands, Sonic starts cheering.
"Thanks, King Solomon," Miss Yearling said.
King Solomon shook his head, believing that the thanks is sent by the wrong person. "No, thank you," he corrected. "Thank you for saving this capital city from total destruction. We may have a long recovery ahead of us, but we will recover from that crisis. Farewell. May we see each other again."
Walking out the capitol palace, they expose themselves to the sky that has been hidden from them the previous day cycle. There are still some pillars of smoke to be found, but at least the crisis is over. Civilians are seen behind the gates, cheering in celebration that the day of ordeal is over.
Sonic looked at the sealing device, getting ideas as he inspected it. "Now that I think about it, calling this a genie lamp is a bit of an artifact since it's no longer a lamp and isn't just used to house a genie," he said. "I think this needs a much more suiting name."
"Sounds like a brilliant idea," Cliff remarked. "What shall you rename this Precious to?"
Almost immediately, Sonic came up with a new name for the item he is holding. "I call this one, the Sealing Gun," he answered. "The legendary sidearm that sends Mythical Creatures into the Sealed World."

From the Author:
New tool? New tool, of course. The heroes have gotten themselves a new tool that specializes in getting rid of Mythical Creatures. Why does it take on the appearance of a handgun? Don't ask.
Just like in the original source material, Sonic seals away Erazor Djinn. How ironic. The person cursed and tasked with finding the World Rings is the one who finishes it off. Good choice, Erazor Djinn. As for the whereabouts of the World Rings, they are likely sealed away to someplace else. Where are they now? Nobody knows, since after the fight between Sonic (in his dark form) and Erazor Djinn, they vanished.
As for the ones who started this, they are likely someplace else, plotting their next plan of attack against their enemies.
