Epilogue

Sally sat back in her chair and stretched. It was now over two months since they had defeated Snively and things were starting to make sense. The restoration of Mobotropolis hadn't been the only strange thing to happen. Knothole, the Wolf Pack area and many other areas affected by Robotnik and Snively had returned to as they had been before the coo all those years ago. The recent months had been quite busy. Rotor had been able to work out, with the help of Nicole, what that shockwave like thing had been. According to him it had been a reverse polarity Chaos Emerald field created by Super Sonic when he destroyed the cannon. The field being reverse energy had therefore restored everything rather than destroying it. Not only that but the freedom fighters and managed to salvage information on how Snively had rescued Naugus from the Void. They had tried it again and it had worked allowing Sonic to rescue Sally's father. Her father had been amazed at the feat they had all accomplished and was happy to be reunited with his daughter.

Although the past months had been a time of joy it had also been one of sorrow. They had finally arranged a proper funeral for Antoine and Bunnie had cried for several days after it.

Elsewhere things were going quite well. Knuckles and Espio had returned to the Floating Island. Sonic and herself had been appointed the next rulers of Mobius when Sally's father passed on and Tails and Amy had been having a good time together.

That reminded her, Rotor had been able to scavenge together enough parts to create a derobotisiser again with the help of Sonic's Uncle Chuck. Rotor had been hard at work de-robotisising people and today it was Tails turn. She got up off her seat and winced slightly. The wound Naugus had given her was still a bit painful. She slowly walked over to Sonic who was sitting at the chilli dog stand chatting to the owner.

"And then we…." he was saying.

"Sonic." said Sally.

"…..oh hi Sal. What's up?" he said taking a bite of his chilli dog.

"Don't you ever stop eating those?"

"Nope."

"Well Sonic, if you haven't remembered, today is the day Tails is set for his appointment with the de-robotisiser."

"Oh yeah!" said Sonic, finishing his chilli dog, "Guess we better motor."

He grabbed Sally's arm and sped off in the direction of Knothole.

-----------------------------------------

Many people had taken up permanent residence there since it had been restored including Bunnie, Rotor, Tails and Amy.

Sonic and Sally sped into Knothole and screeched to a halt in the centre of the village. Bunnie was sitting there waiting for them.

"Your late Sugah hog." she said.

"Well I'm sorry!" said Sonic sarcastically.

"Tails has been waiting. He said he wouldn't go in until you were here. The little sugah fox."

"Ok let's go Sal."

Sonic and Sally left and walked the short distance to Rotors workshop. As they approached a crowd of people had gathered. The crowd started to murmur as they approached and separated to let them through. Sonic pushed open the door and he and Sally entered. Inside Tails, Amy and Rotor were waiting.

"Hey Sonic!" said Tails happily, "Glad you could make it. Ok Rotor I'm ready."

Tails stepped up onto the platform and the capsule came down around him. He sighed and then gave Rotor the thumbs up. Rotor hit a switch and the machine started. As the glowing rings descended around him, Tails closed his eyes. He hoped this worked, he hated his tails. All sharp and pointy and covered in razor blades. It was awful trying to sleep, never mind anything else. The sound of the capsule rising made him open his eyes. He couldn't look around, he wouldn't be able to bear it if he saw metal there again. The group in front of him looked behind him and smiled. Tails face lit up and he turned to look over his shoulder. There they were, his own tails! He swung them round his sides, touching them together in front of him. He couldn't keep it in any longer.

"ALRIGHT!" he cried and leaped down off the platform. Amy rushed to his side and hugged him.

"Well look at that." Sally said quietly to Sonic as Tails and Amy hugged.

"Yeah cute." replied Sonic.

-----------------------------------------

A little later the group left Rotor's hut to the cheers of the crowd.

"So what do we do now Sal." asked Sonic.

"Well I was thinking of….." she whispered in Sonic ear.

"Oh right. Well I guess we better motor." said Sonic grabbing Sally's arm and tore off into the sunset.
