Chapter 11: Forgive or Not

Sonic sat at the table thinking of what will happen when he gets to the Freedom HQ. Sonic waited patiently for Lien-Da as she was in the bathroom doing something in particular like maybe putting on some make up or perfume. Lien-Da got on her shoes and walk over to the kitchen where her husband is. She plants a kiss on his head and massaging his shoulders.

"Are you ok honey?" Lien-Da asked

"I don't know, I don't know what's going to happen" Sonic responded

"I know… I have that feeling too but I'm going to be by your side and I love you"

"I know and I love you too Lien-Da"

Lien-Da smiled and plant a kiss on Sonic's cheek.

"So… Are you ready to go?" Lien-Da asked

"Yes… Let's go" Sonic responded

Lien-Da nodded and the married couple left the house. Sonic and Lien-Da head over to the Freedom HQ within minutes. By the time when they arrive, they see Sally, the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix too. Even there was a big sign as it says: We're Sorry Sonic.

"You guys did all of this for me?" Sonic asked

"Yes we did Sonic, we want to show you how sorry we are" Sally responded

Sonic and Lien-Da look at each other puzzled and Sonic turn to Sally.

"Ok, what is the occasion?" Sonic asked

"Well… We want to start off and say we're sorry for hurting you and breaking your heart. We were so wrong to hurt you like that and I know it hurt your heart very deep to the core" Sally responded

"Yeah sugah-hog, we also want to apologized for giving you that bad excuse that day when you and Lien-Da were getting married" Bunnie added

"I don't know… I don't know if I can forgive you guys or not, I don't know what to do. My mind is all in pieces and I'm puzzled with if I can forgive you guys or not, trust you or not, give my respect to you guys or not" Sonic responded

"Sonic… We want to set things right again, we don't want to hurt you anymore. We don't want to lose a great friend who always make us happy and make everyone smile" Tails said sincerely

"So… What are you saying, I'm confused and I'm puzzled in words?"

"We want our friend back and our hero who always been there for everyone to the end and keeping everyone save" Rotor said

"I see… Ok, I understand now"

"So… Will you forgive us?" Knuckles asked

"I don't know, before I say anything. I want to hear a good explanation of why you still think Lien-Da here my wife is the enemy still?"

"Well…" Sally stuttered

"Well what, is there something wrong?"

"Sonic… We don't… We don't have nothing to say to Lien-Da"

"What do you mean, I already told you. Lien-Da has changed over a new leaf and she's a changed woman. Why can't you guys just see it and accept her?"

"Sonic… I know my sister, she's still a bad girl no matter what you say. She's a grandmaster of the Dark Legion and always will be" Julie-Su exclaimed

"That's right Sonic, everyone agrees with Julie-Su but we can't accept Lien-Da" Sally added

"I should've known, you guys are just some got damn assholes" Sonic insulted

"SONIC!"

"Don't Sonic me Sally, if you can't accept Lien-Da then fine. I'm sick of all of you who just won't accept what I got and never believed me. For now on, I'm quitting the Freedom Fighters and have my own life now"

"WHAT!" Everyone cried in shock

"Sonic… We need you, you can't do this" Tails said surprised

"My mind is all made up, since you all won't accept Lien-Da then so be it. Have fun getting to the action and the adventure like all I care and I will not forgive all of you about all of this and how much you all hurted me that day and hurt and broke my heart. Good bye" Sonic responded

Sonic took Lien-Da's hand and the married couple left out the Freedom HQ. The Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix were completely devastated of what had just happen. They lost a great friend and their hero.

"What… Have we done?" Tails asked before crying in tears

Meanwhile…

Sonic was outside the residence looking at the ocean and the sun was setting. Sonic felt a soft breeze blowing towards him and trying to blow some steam. He was soon joined by Lien-Da as she came behind Sonic and hugging him.

"Are you ok sweetie?" Lien-Da asked

"I guess… They could not accept you and believe me that you've changed. That's their last draw, I'm done with them. They can save the world all by themselves without my help. I've had enough of them" Sonic responded

"I understand… Anyway, let's get back inside honey. Dinner is almost ready"

"You go ahead, I'll join with you in a second"

"Ok honey"

Lien-Da plant a kiss on Sonic's cheek and went back inside the residence. Sonic closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I am done with the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix, they just hurt me too much this time" Sonic said before returning back to the residence
