Pikatwig: Well minna, this is it, the last chapter of Arc 1!
KKD: Wow, this went by a lot faster than I ever expected.
Pikatwig: True, so, interesting chapter name right?
KKD: It's original, I will admit.
Pikatwig: So you ready for the last disclaimer for Arc 1?
KKD: As usual, Pika owns Tune & Strumm, while the rest belong to Sega, Archie, Capcom, their respective owners, and… well you get the idea.
Pikatwig: Oh and also, I plan for next Arc to have a different theme, but I'm not too sure, so, for what maybe the last time… actually you say it with me for once.
KKD: Okay then.
Pikatwig & KKD: Cue Supernova!

Sonic & Megaman: Adventures!
"So you guys are spending one more day here?" Roll asked in surprise.
"Yep," Sonic nodded.
"Thank goodness! So Sonic, are you gonna miss me and Rock?" Roll inquired.
"Do you really need to ask such a question?" Sonic responded.
"Maybe," Roll replied, still sorta curious.
"Well, to answer the question, of course I'll be missing you guys," Sonic answered.
"And we'll miss you too, Sonic," Roll smiled.
The duo then headed to their room and they fell asleep.
'I hope Sonic likes my surprise..' Roll thought to herself.
The next day, Tails and Tune were awake, and then…
"Hey Tune. I built something for you," Tails informed before surprising Tune with a robotic fox, which flew over to Tune with it's two tails, similar to how Tails flies.
"Aw… kawaii! It know just what to call you: Waltz," Tune smiled, as she then noticed Shadow near the door.
"Hey is something wrong?" Tune asked. Shadow.
"...No," Shadow responded, as he walked out.
"Shadow's a little stand-offish, but we like to think he leaves before it becomes too hard to say goodbye," Tails told Tune.
"Oh."
A little later, the team were all out, checking out Megaville, splitting off into smaller groups with the following members: group 1 having Sonia and Manic, group two consisting of Cream, Tails, and Knuckles, and Amy, Silver, and Shadow in the last. Each group was doing their own little sight-seeing adventures throughout the city.
"I'm gonna miss them," Cream said, but she was happy about finally being able to go back home.
"Yeah, we all will, but it's good to finally be going home," Knuckles replied.
"Sure is," Tails agreed.
With Amy, Silver, and Shadow on another end of the city…
"I'm so totally glad we're going home soon," Amy smiled.
"It'll be good to go back to Mobius," Shadow added in.
"Yep, I'll be glad to be home," Silver said.
"Hmph," Shadow simply said, hiding much of his emotion.
Over with Sonic's siblings…
"It'll be good to go back to shopping back on Mobius." Sonia added, and then she turned her mind to something else. "Plus… I'll get to see a certain special someone."
"Who would that be?" Manic asked.
"You'll see…" Sonia replied.
"Okay then…" Manic nodded.
Finally, we Sonic out for a little run.
'How should I tell them… goodbye…' Sonic thought as he ran, trying to find the right words of how to say goodbye to Rock and Roll; he felt it would be especially tough when it comes to telling Roll.
Meanwhile, Rock and Roll were busy setting up a farewell party for the Mobians.
"So sis, anything special you have planned for Sonic at this party?" Rock asked.
"Yeah, a special song," Roll informed, as she began to sing part of it. "Whatever lies beyond this morning, it's a little later on, regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all…"
"Very nice," Rock noted. "But why don't you wait until he's actually here?"
"It was only a little bit of practice goof," Roll replied, as she walked away.
"I know," Rock noted as the two couldn't help but laugh as Roll left the area and then Sonic walked in.
"Hi Sonic," Roll smiled. "You got back fast, as expected."
"Thanks. Did I miss anything?" Sonic asked.
"Oh nothing important Sonic," Roll said, as Sonic noticed the stage.
"Hey a stage, can um… I play a song later?" he asked.
"Uh… sure," Roll answered, finding this a tad bit unexpected.
Later, the party was underway, and everyone was having a grand old time.
"Hey everyone! Can I have your attention please?!" Sonic called out to everyone as he got on stage. "Thanks. Now, I've got this one song I wanted to sing for quite a while now."
With that, Sonic picked up the mike, and then he began to play the song, while his brother and sister played the music, the song was called "Dear My Friend".
"Good times and bad times," Sonic began, both Rock and Roll were amazed by his singing voice.
"I can count on being with you.
I thank you for staying so true
My life will go on a long time,
Have to catch up when I see you
And You are my reason I can make it through"
"I will give my word that I will come in time to rescue
My heart will always be with you
I'm so glad I met you being with me wherever,
We're made for each other forever" Sonic then glanced down to Roll when he sang that line.
"I know life can be tough on you time and time again
laughter maybe gone away
I will wipe away my tears to-morrow
Life must go on, that's the reason that you travel away"
"I will be there if you need me
And I know you'll do the same
I can see you, I can hear you in my heart
You will be here if I need you
I will never have to guess
cause we are very special friends" Sonic sang as he closed his eyes and walked around the stage
(Instrumental)
"Oh-Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah"
"So send me a letter,
let me know how you're doing.
You are my lifetime and true friend." Sonic then looked over at Rock.
"We'll never be forgotten,
having trust is all we may need
You are always with me in the life I lead"
"So far, far away from life I used to know
worries are too far, too
I will stop and close my eyes, remember
And at the rainbow I can take you,
I will catch it for you"
"Memories you can recall
With me any time of day
You can reach out
You can ask me in your soul
I will answer when you call me
I will come no matter how" tears then began to form in Rock and Roll's eyes.
"Cause we are very special friends"
"Just like a river that flows
Just like stars in the dark night" Sonic walked off the stage and continued.
"Lead me in the storm,
Lead me in the dark
You are the light of my life" He then arrived in front of Rock and Roll as he continued.
"Oh-Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah"
"I will be there if you need me
And I know you'll do the same
I can see you, I can hear you in my heart
You will be here if I need you
I will never have to guess
Cause we are very special friends" Sonic smiled at the two, trying not to cry.
"Memories you can recall
With me any time of day
You can reach out
you can ask me in your soul
I will answer when you call me
I will come no matter how
Cause we are very special friends" Sonic smiled as his sister continued with the piano.
"Oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah" Sonic then finished and hugged the two.
(Instrumental, fades to ending)
The others were surprised by the song choice, but they all applauded, impressed with Sonic's performance.
"Sonic, you're amazing!" Rock said amazed.
"I didn't know you could sing," Roll added in.
"Well, being a part of a band back home, I'm the lead singer. I have to know how to sing," Sonic countered Roll's comment.
"Alright Sonic, it's my turn to sing," Roll said, taking his head seat and walking up, and then Rock followed and took out a guitar. "Hello everyone, I've never sung up in front of others, but I'm not scared. Anyway, this song goes out to Sonic, and it's called Simple and Clean," Roll said as the song finally began.
"When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go" Roll then sung, Sonic was simply awestruck at her beautiful singing voice.
"You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need and more
You smiled at me and said,
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?" Roll continued, and Sonic could only assume she was looking for something that might've rhymed.
"When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple""
"When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go" Sonic then recalled hearing her sing the lyrics before.
"Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go"
"The daily things
like this and that and what is what
that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you" Roll continued as she started walking over to Sonic.
"But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple" Roll was now at eye-contact with Sonic, and then she turned around.
"When you walk away
You don't hear me say please" Sonic then understood he kinda made Roll feel like this.
"Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go"
"Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all" Roll turned around again, and smiled at Sonic.
"Nothing's like before"
"When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go" Roll then held out a hand for Sonic as they both danced as Roll continued to sing.
"Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before"
"Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before"
(Instrumental as the song fades out.)
"Roll… that was a beautiful song…" Sonic said.
"Thanks," Roll "blushed."
"That song… is it how I really made you feel, so… simple and clean?" Sonic asked.
"Yea… I guess you could say that," Roll answered.
"Oh… well, I don't really get this romance thing so well Roll… but I do know, that if there's anyone I would love, it would be you, Roll Light," Sonic told her.
"Well, I'd never love any boy more than I love you, Sonic Aleena," Roll replied.
The two just smiled before hugging and entering a very passionate kiss. The crowd simply awed at this, even Shadow. Rock could only give a smile at his sister, having found someone she truly cared about, something he one day hoped to have all the same.
Sonia and Manic smiled at their brother, happy he finally found someone he was truly passionate about.
"They look so cute together," Sonia smiled.
"Yeah, I really think mom and dad would be happy to see this moment…" Manic added.
"Yea…"
"Um guys… we should probably leave them for a moment," Tails suggested, making everyone nod, leaving Sonic and Roll in the room alone.
It takes a while before Sonic and Roll ended their moment, and thus join the others.
"Still… I can't believe we're leaving already," Silver noted.
"Well… activating the teleporter," Tails said, as he turned on a machine that looked like a warp ring between two red checkpoint poles, and it worked, a path right back to Spagonia opened up, and the Mobians looked at it.
"Guys, I don't know if we'll ever come back, so if anyone wants to say goodbye, now's the time," Tails added.
"I'm good," Shadow said, with a small wave, he walked through the portal.
The others however looked at their new found friends, and sighed.
"Hey Proto-Dude, thanks for being my friend," Knuckles said shaking Protoman's hand.
"No prob, Knuckle-head. If you can, I'd like it if you can drop by again," Protoman smiled.
"See ya again," Knuckles said walking through the portal.
"Time Man, I think you're really cool, come by and visit if you can," Silver said.
"I may have to change my time tables, but I think I can arrange for a visit, see you again one day Silver," Time Man replied.
"Yea, see ya," Silver nodded, walking through the portal next.
"Well I guess this is goodbye," Amy said to Elec Man.
"Your personality volts amazingly, and I'm sure you'll get a good boyfriend in the future young Amy," Elec Man said.
"Thanks," Amy smiled before leaving.
"Well, I suppose this is goodbye Auto," Manic said.
"Yea, seems that way," Auto agreed. "Try not to steal anything and stay out of trouble, okay?"
"I make no promises," Manic said as he walked through the portal.
"Well… I suppose this is goodbye," Sonia said to Rush, giving him a little pet, as the dog gave her a small golden earing.
"Wow, thanks. Well, bye." Sonia said as she walked into the portal next.
"I hope we can see you again some time soon, Ms. Tune," Cream replied, Cheese hovering next to her.
"Yeah, I hope to see you again too one day Cream," Tune replied shaking her hand, as Cream and Cheese walked through the portal next, as Sonic and Roll walked into the room.
"Everyone else has gone back home, I'm gonna say goodbye to Dr. Light, and I'll see you back home Sonic, okay?" Tails asked.
"Okay Tails," Sonic nodded.
"Dr. Light… you are one of the most amazing people I've ever meet, I will miss you. You'll be able to make such amazing things like the Robot Masters, okay?" Tails said.
"Right Tails," Dr. Light chuckled, and thus the twin-tailed fox walked into the portal.
Seeing Tails leave, Sonic was about to walk through, but stopped before he reached it, and turned to look at Rock and Roll one last time.
"Good bye Rock… Good bye… Roll…" Sonic said, his eyes starting to water up. "...I'll miss you both…"
"I'll miss you too Sonic, but we'll see you again," Rock said.
"Sonikku, I'll love you even if we are worlds apart," Roll added.
Sonic nodded, still crying before waving a final goodbye.
"I promise I'll see you again, Roll-chan… farewell," Sonic sighed before walking through the portal, which, shortly after, caused the Chaos Emeralds to float out of the machine, into the portal, and back to the Special Zone, causing the portal to shut down.
"That's it… they're gone," Rock said.
"Yep…" Roll replied.
Back in Spagonia, the nine heroes returned in one piece. They looked around to see everything was okay when…
"HEY!" they all heard, turning to see the Chaotix running towards them, Charmy having been the one to do the yelling.
"Glad to see you guys are okay," Espio noted.
"What happened to you guys anyway?!" Vector asked as the nine turned to look at each other with a smile before turning to Vector.
"It's a long story," they all say, as all nine walked away, with Espio putting his hand on Cream's shoulder.
"Your mom hired us to find you, so if you don't mind, we'll escort you home, okay?" Espio asked.
"Okay, Mr. Espio," Cream nodded.
Later, Silver and Tails return to Eagle Town, Silver returning to the apartment that Espio checked on previously while Tails returned to his lab, he noticed the Tornado was already back, and then he got to work on some experiments. At around the same time, Shadow returned to the G.U.N. base in this world, meeting up with Rouge and a large bulky black and red robot named Omega. Knuckles came back to Angel Island, seeing Tikal as a full on Echidna. Sonia, Manic, the Chaotix, and Cream soon arrived back in Green Hill village where Cream, Cheese, and Vanilla reunited in a very happy reunion.
As for the Blue Blur himself, he was just running around in Green Hill Zone, thinking of his new best friend, and his girlfriend, wondering when they'd next see each other again. 'Rock, Roll, I'll see you again one day...'
Pikatwig: And that's the end of Arc 1 folks!
KKD: Thank goodness! I'm so glad that the worlds are back to normal, along with everyone in them and… hold up… what about Eggman and Wily?
Pikatwig: We'll see them soon… but anyway, what'd you think of this chapter?
KKD: Very nice way to wrap up the story, and it includes not one, not two, but THREE songs that I like a lot. Normally, I'd think insert songs sung by the characters are out of place, but here… it really fits the mood.
Pikatwig: What'd you think of Arc 1 as a whole?
KKD: Very impressive, I must say. But… are you gonna do Arc 2 as a separate story altogether?
Pikatwig: No. It'll continue on, and anyway, I loved how this story started, the story's beginning, is amazing, and now, we've got a second arc! Well… we'll hold off on that for another day. Well aibou, I hope you liked this, as do you my readers. Well, ending catphrase time.
KKD: Thanks for reading this folks. If you liked this story, please check out our other stories on my profile and if you don't know them… you will… Jaa ne!
Pikatwig: Just Live More!
