Chapter 14: Unexpected survival
Everything was silent for a few minutes, until there was a creaking noise. A piece of metal was bending on the remains of Y-25's back, then stopped, and out of it emerged Simy, who was now back to normal, but very weak. He carefully got off Y-25, looked at it and said, 'Up...yours...' and started walking towards Sonic and the groups bodies. But when he got to where they were, they were gone, which made Simy fear they were burnt or blown up during his battle. He turned and bolted at Y-25's remains, screaming, and punched straight into what looked like the front, and started sobbing. While hitting it and still weeping, Simy said, 'You...stupid...ugly...life...wasting...piece...of...shit...' and he slowly went on his hands and knees, tears pouring off his face. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, but he nudged it off, saying through his tears, 'Get lost! Can't you see i'm mourning here...' Then a familiar voice behind him said, 'I thought you hated Eggman and Y-25, I didn't think it was that important to you, but I guess it makes sense, since I heard you saying it took you years to make this. I'll just leave you...' but then Simy's eyes opened widely, he stood up looked round, and saw Amy walking away. Simy calls out, 'Hey, Amy, wait...' and she turned round while Simy approached her, asking, 'How are you still alive?' Amy answers, 'Well, it's kind of a weird story, I should let Sonic explain it...' Surprised, Simy replies, 'Sonic's alive as well?'
Just as he said it, Sonic, who was now back to normal, appeared from Simy's right and said, 'Way to go in beating that thing.' Then Simy says, 'But...i saw you dead in front of me...and the Chaos Emeralds were gone now,' then Sonic says, 'Well, the Chaos Emeralds weren't quite gone. Let me explain. You see, when Y-25 blasted us, we were only knocked out for a short while. When I woke up, I still had a little of my Super Form left, but you probably couldn't see it because I lost the glow, and I was covered in that much dust, you couldn't see I still had a hint of gold fur. But when I woke up, I used the remaining of my power to heal everyone...' then Simy interrupted, saying, 'Everyone? Then that means...' then he saw Tails and Knuckles come out of the workshop, who he greeted, saying, 'Hey guys, your OK.' Tails replied, 'Yeah, we're fine. We saw the whole battle from here. We were awake and healed just before those 1st 10 missiles were launched, so we went inside to watch. But I was a little scared of what happened to you with that more evil look...but anyway, someone's wanting to see you...' and Tails pointed at the door. Simy looked to see Talulah walking out, who looked and saw him and smiled. Simy walked towards her and they embraced in a tight hug, then Simy said, 'I'm so glad to see you again,' and Talulah replied, 'I'm not going to die on you either.'
Amy stood next to Sonic, saying, 'Isn't that beautiful Sonic?' as she goes to hold Sonic's hand, but he moved his arm away, saying, 'Nice try, Amy,' while Simy and Talulah then shared a kiss. Simy then says, 'Well, I think i'm going to go now.' But Knuckles replies, 'Wait, you can't go, you're a great fighter you should stay,' then Simy responds, 'Nah, it's a tempting offer, but I want to go somewhere and just settle down,' looking at Talulah, who just giggled. Sonic then says to Simy, 'Well, we won't try to stop you. It's been a blast, Simy. We ain't forgetting you anytime soon,' and Simy replied, 'Likewise, Sonic. You've all been great friends, even if it was just a week, I feel like I've known you all my life,' and Sonic and Simy bump fists, and Simy high-fives Tails and Knuckles, and Amy gave him a kiss on the cheek, then says to Talulah, 'You kissed my man on the cheek, so I've kissed your man on the cheek.' Simy whistled innocently, while Sonic and Talulah rolled their eyes. Simy then picks up Talulah, turns to everyone and says, 'I hope we maybe see each other again,' and Sonic replied, 'Same, it'll be great to see you again,' and Simy dashed to the East with Talulah, while Sonic and the rest waved, with Sonic saying, 'Bye,' Amy saying, 'See you later,' Tails saying, 'Come back soon,' and Knuckles saying, 'We're gonna miss ya,' then Simy turned and started running backwards, when he and Talulah both say, 'So long.' But then Sonic shouts, 'LOOK OUT!' But Simy still faced backwards and smirked as he jumped and back-flipped over a boulder, then faced forward and continued running, at which point, Talulah said with a shaky tone, 'Please don't do that again, i'm fine with the speed, but be careful with the stunts,' and Simy just chuckled. Sonic smiles and shouts, 'SHOW OFF,' as everyone went into Tails' workshop.
Meanwhile, back in the base, Eggman was furious, shouting, 'I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT BLOODY HEDGEHOG BEAT Y-25, EVEN WITH THE MODIFICATION I MADE! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!' Then a small robot popped from Eggman's control panel and said, 'What will you do now, Doctor?' Eggman slumped into his seat, sighed and said, 'I don't know, I lost my greatest invention, I lost my apprentice, what do I do n...wait...what's that?' Eggman spotted a book lying on the ground, which he picked up and read, then saying to himself, 'This is my grandfathers diary, I forgot I had this. As he read through it, an evil smirk appears on his face. He then chortles and says, 'Oh I know now what i'm going to do next, I think I'll go on a little trip and search for 'Project Shadow...' and Eggman laughs evilly, which echoes throughout his base.
The End
