Heroes Epilogue
Sonic, Amy, Knuckles and the Freedom Trainees went to Tails' sky patrol to rest. Tails, with the help of Cream, had given them all hot chocolates to help them relax. Amy was the first to speak.
"What did Eclipse mean…? Calling me a "half-blood"..?" She asked, troubled.
"Ignore him, Amy. He's just messing with your head." Knuckles replied. Sonic slammed his hands on the table, and yelled.
"No! I can't do this anymore!" Everyone looked at him.
"Yo, Sonic, ya good man?" Knuckles asked.
"Is something wrong?" Tangle said.
"Yes! Something is wrong! … And it's my fault…"
"What do you mean, Sonic?" Amy asked.
"I'm sorry Amy… I should've told you sooner… I should've told someone, ANYONE sooner.."
"What are you talking about?" Amy started to get really concerned.
"Yeah, Sonic, what the hell are you going on about?" Knuckles added.
"That wasn't just to mess with your head… That comment Eclipse made about you Amy… It's true." Sonic confessed.
"...Wh-What…?" Amy muttered, scared.
"C'mon Sonic! You can't be saying dumb stuff like that!" Knuckles yelled.
"I'm sorry I kept it from you for so long…" Sonic replied flatly, walking off to his room. Knuckles, Tails, even Tangle and Lux went after him, trying to get him to come out, but Sonic refused.
Meanwhile, Whisper, Jewel and Cream stayed behind with Amy.
"What… what did he mean by that…? Am I one of them…? Am I… a monster?" Amy mumbled, crying.
"No, of course not!" Jewel assured her.
"You're just saying that to make me feel better…"
"No, I'm not! All that time when we were messaging each other… I never thought of you to possibly be a monster…" Jewel told her. Amy told a second to fully take in what she said, but she nodded.
"I guess you're right… Even if I'm genetically connected to those guys… I'm not one of them in my heart! My actions make it clear that I'm a true Mobian!"
"Way to go Miss Amy!" Cream cheered. Amy marched off to Sonic's room.
"Sonic? It's me, Amy..." Sonic sheepishly opened the door. "Look, I know you feel bad but… You decided to tell the truth now, and that's what's important, right?"
"Huh? What are you even talking about…? I lied to you, it's as simple as that… you were too young to remember, but even though I saved your life all those years ago, it doesn't give me the right to keep the fact that you're half Black Arms from you…" Sonic said, looking away from Amy.
"What I mean is… Who you are now is what's important, Sonic! Yeah, you screwed up by not telling me all that, but you changed today by telling me… and that change will stick with you, and replace that secret as something that defines you…"
"Well… If you put it that way…" Amy wrapped her arm around Sonic.
"C'mon Sonic, let's go get some more hot chocolate!"
"... Yeah. I like that idea…" Sonic smiled. "You even forgive me for brushing off how you started picking up the hivemind?"
"Eh… that one's gonna take some time, considering that if you addressed that truthfully, we might still have Shadow on our side…" Amy replied.
"Not like we can do anything about it now, though…" Sonic pointed out.
"Yeah." Amy nodded. "Anyway, what are we waiting for, let's go get that hot chocolates!"
"Oh yeah, of course!"
