TWO TRIBES
BY MASTER HUNTER
EPILOGUE
As soon as the group arrived at Tails Workshop, Tails immediately started work on Sephie. He told the rest of the group that it would probably take some time, days maybe weeks. He slammed the door shut and began work. Suddenly Amy noticed that all but Manic of GASH had disappeared.
"Hey where are the rest of GASH Manic?" asked Amy
"Ruby led the others back to HQ. I told them I'd let them know what happens", said Manic.
"They didn't even say goodbye, not even Grandma. That sucks", said Amy
"That's just their way. Anyway I'm going to find a cool beach and hit the waves for a while. See ya later", said Manic.
"Ok Brov, take care", said Amy.
Manic left heading towards the station. Big placed his hand on the shoulders of Amy and Cream.
"Don't you girls want to be with your family?" asked Big
"Nah, as far as I'm concerned the Petals are my family", said Amy
"Aw! That's so sweet Amy", said Cream hugging Amy, "I'm happy being with you two too"
"What about you Espio? Do you want to be with your grandmother?" asked Charmy
"It's nice to know I have somewhere else to go to but no. I'd rather be with you guys waiting for a case to come our way", said Espio.
"Speaking of which I think it's time to go back to ta office to see if anything's come up", said Vector suddenly getting louder, "Guys, its bin fun but we have a business to get back ta. See ya later, let us know what happens alright"
The rest of the guys nodded/waved as the Chaotix detectives left.
"Hey Shadow, where's Rouge?" asked Knuckles.
"She said she was going after her other great passion", said Shadow
"Other great passion?... Oh no the Master Emerald, she wouldn't. Dammit I have to get back, see ya all later", said Knuckles before running out towards the Angel Island shrine.
Shadow and Omega laughed for a while before Shadow placed his hand on Omega's shoulder.
"Well no point us staying here either. We'll pop in to see how she's doing. Just make sure next time Sephie doesn't get to that point again", said Shadow, "CHAOS CONTROL!"
Before the brotherhood could even respond, Shadow and Omega warped back to Rouge's Mansion. Then Sonic came out from Tails' lab into the main hall. Sonic mumbled something quietly to himself angrily.
"So what did he say now he's had a chance to examine her?" asked Raine
"He kicked me out, ME! Urgh! He still doesn't know how long it's going to take or even if he can fix her yet", said Sonic.
"Well we're not leaving until we have an answer", said Nite, "Oh wait, she's going to need new clothes and we're going to need our things too. Someone has to go back to the base"
"Well it aint going to be me", said Angel Storm.
"Nor me", said Raine.
"You should go Angel, after all you are the only other girl", said Nite
"He makes a good point. I'm sure Sephie would rather you went through her things that us", said Raine.
"Huh?...But you….oh crap I guess you're right. Fine I'll go but you owe me", said Angel Storm leaving angrily.
Meanwhile Amy grabbed Sonic round his waist.
"So Sonic are you going to stay and keep me company", said Sonic.
"Huh?...No way….I'm outta here. Later guys", said Sonic racing off towards the mountains.
"There's no way I'm letting you go that easily", said Amy following Sonic.
"I guess something's never change", said Big. Cream giggled.
"Perhaps we should head back to the hut as well. I could do with a nice long bath", said Cream.
Big nodded and waved goodbye to the brotherhood with Cream. The two left for the Beach hut.
What seemed like an Age passed for the Brotherhood but one day they heard a familiar scream and a loud slapping noise. Investigating the scream the brotherhood kicked down the door to Tails' lab and saw Sephie covering up her 'nudity'. Tails lay on the floor rubbing his cheek.
"Get away from me you pervert! And what the hell have you done to my hair and clothes", screamed Sephie.
"Yeah thanks. All that backbreaking labour was worth it to get slapped across the face", said Tails
Angel Storm handed Sephie a change of clothes that she took and got changed into to.
"Don't you remember anything Sephie?" asked Raine
"Yeah besides you're a robot, you don't have…er….those sort of things", said Nite.
"That's not the point Nite", replied Angel Storm.
"Remember what exactly?" asked Sephie confused.
"You morphing into a super powerful Goddess that wanted to destroy everything? Me slicing you in two with that batgirl's sword? You generally going nuts? Ring any bells", said Raine.
Sephie shook her head.
"You don't remember anything about being Goddess 18a?" asked Tails
"Goddess 18a….nope nothing. The last thing I remember was seeing Sonic and Shadow finish off the Egg Giant Mark II", said Sephie.
"Well it's a long story and I'll think we'll leave it until we get home to tell it", said Raine.
"We can't thank you enough Tails. If you see Sonic or Shadow tell them there's always a place for them with the Brotherhood", said Nite
The brotherhood waved goodbye and left for their base. Tails fell onto a chair exhausted.
Meanwhile back at GASH HQ. Ruby had called Manic into the main control room. There stood Ruby, Emerald and Diamond waiting for him.
"Manic Rose, your actions have caused us to fail for the first time ever. You not only let our prime target escape 3 times but you disobeyed countless direct orders from myself", said Ruby
"Normally this would call for an immediate dismissal", said Diamond.
"However your actions have taught us a valuable lesson. I find it pleasing that even at our age we can still learn things from our new members", said Emerald
"You have reminded us that we are still people and that being an Assassin doesn't mean we can't listen to reason. You have taught us that honour should be our guide not our objectives. And so we the most senior members of GASH present you with this", said Ruby, "My hammer"
Ruby handed Manic her hammer. Manic swung it around a couple of times before placing it on the ground and bowing to the gems.
"I am so grateful for this honour. Thank you very much", said Manic.
"You've earned it. Ok you are dismissed, do what you wish", said Ruby
Manic left the room with a big grin on his face. Ruby was also smiling. She had seen her grandson develop into a fine young man and probably the best new bounty hunter she had even seen.
Now then, let's see if the Brotherhood want a rematch?
A new day brings new adventure but for now rest easy heroes
THE END
