Chapter 17-Aftermath

As promised, Shadow and Amy did everything together. They even found out about a certain government conspiracy, and exposed it to a few key people. Aside from all of the other crimes they had committed, they are now wanted in the United States for breaking a classified seal.

Ayame, also in trouble for lighting an Army officer on fire, is now wanted for stealing evidence that the President cheated in 2000 and 2004. Not much is known about the crime, except that Rotor the Walrus aided in her theft and escape. The Black Widows were incriminated soon after, and spread apart all over the world, denying they ever took part in any of the events that happened.

Sonic was assassinated after a press conference -- shot in the heart. Not much is known about that either, but some people think it was either Axel or Robotnik, while others have their eye on the President and the CIA. Until the investigation is over, no one will know what exactly happened at any of these events.

To the surprise of many, Rouge and Knuckles got engaged shortly before all of these events happened. They are scheduled to be married in January of next year.

Miles and Ayame went missing, and are believed to have become members of the USSR. No one knew Miles was still around after the Egg Fleet incident, in any case, since he was blown off target and is believed to have landed somewhere in Russia.

The Chaotix Detective Agency remained as is, with not much more to their name than a good work title and a few hundred dollars.

Robotnik continued his work against the government, and destroyed a missile silo in southern New Mexico. Shortly afterward, he was found with the President of the United States, having a conversation in a cafe in Virginia.

A saying: Conspiracy and death go hand inhand. And as it would seem, something is wrong with this picture.
