Sonic adventure 2: A shadow's memory

Epilogue.

Rouge and Big entered GUN's main office of Prison Island. They were given their rewards. Big got Froggy back and Rouge got her Jewels. They were thanked but they both said the same thing, "We'll never work for you again". They left, Rouge returned to her Family mansion while Big returned to his Jungle home. Big returned to his easy lifestyle, doing nothing but fishing and sleeping with his pal Froggy

Rouge never felt more alone, her thoughts turned to Knuckles, the red haired echidna hunter who saved her life. Meanwhile Knuckles placed the Master Emerald in the shrine and the island rose once more.

"Phew! What a hassle", Said Knuckles sitting down in front of the Emerald. It wasn't long before his thoughts turned to Rouge. Knuckles had always been a loner but he never minded, it was part of the job of being a guardian. Now though he felt more alone than ever.

Dr. Eggman had already started his next plot to take over the world. But even he was saddened by the death of Shadow. I doubt we'll ever see him in the same light again as for once seemed human rather than a monster.

Tails began repairs on his cyclone, and other machines in his workshop. It seems like nothing has changed for the two tailed fox sidekick. As for Amy, well nothing changed of her either as she celebrated saving the world with a shopping spree. She remains determined that one day Sonic will be hers.

Speaking of Sonic he spend the night looking at the stars. He probably changed the most from the adventure. Beneath his cool exterior lies an urge to find out where he came from. Shadow has opened up doors to this. Why did he look so alike? How come they could use the same techniques? If Gerald created Shadow perhaps Gerald created him as well? These answers may be answered in the future but he'll never forget what shadow said before he died, about how his past shouldn't define him, rather his feelings should. Well that is how he had lived his life up until now. Perhaps nothing will change after all.

So that's the story of the Ultimate lifeform. There are plenty of questions still left unanswered but perhaps it's better that way. I mean when you look at it, it was uncovering the secrets of the past that almost destroyed us all. I started this story talking about power and corruption. Well that will always be here, it's a part of life. And where there is power and corruption there will be new adventures to be had. Shadow was a reminder that as long as there is love and hope we will all be safe.

A new day brings new adventure, but for now, rest easy heroes

THE END.
