Shadow and Espio

By Streak The Chameleon

Chapter 17: It's Over

I do not own any of the Sonic characters. Sega does.

Well, this is it! The final chapter! The sequel will be out as soon as I find the time to do it. Enjoy the last chapter!

Streak walked down the hill away from the bonfire.

He tried his earpiece. Nothing but static.

Espio and Shadow were right behind him.

"Guess its over," Espio muttered.

"Guess so…" Streak walked faster.

Shadow noticed this and ran up.

"Hey… what did you do after the explosion?"

"Just needed to…" Streak clamped his jaw shut, knowing he just blew his cover.

"What?"

"Never mind."

Shadow stole a glance at Espio. Espio shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay then."

Streak started rubbing his bracelet.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing." Streak continued rubbing.

"What are you doing with your bracel-"

Shadow widened his eyes and threw himself at Streak.

"What the heck are you doing?" Streak yelled.

Shadow wrestled with him, trying to get his bracelet off.

Streak kicked him off, and ran away down the path.

Shadow got up and chased after him.

Streak looked back. "Oh-no…"

Shadow ran up and tripped Streak, and then tried to kick him while he was on the ground.

Streak rolled sideways, and flipped up.

Shadow threw a quick punch, and Streak parried it. He then followed up with a low kick that sent Shadow to the ground.

Streak looked at his bracelet for a quick moment, and disappeared.

"Dang it!" Shadow slammed his fist on the ground.

Espio walked up to him.

"Your brother is up to something."

Streak was walking on Angel Island. He wanted to meet Tikal again.

He pushed back some reeds and saw the cave that he had met Tikal at.

Tikal was sitting in the front of the entrance, over a fire.

Streak walked closer.

"Tikal… you're…"

"Alive?" Tikal smiled back up at him.

"How?"

"I came to the Master Emerald one day and it was gray."

"Gray?"

"Yes. That means that the Guardian of the Master Emerald has died."

Streak squirmed. He had killed Knuckles.

"Then what happened?"

"I-I touched the emerald and it turned green, and here I am. I suppose it has made me the guardian."

"That's great!"

"I guess so."

There was a pause for a moment. Then Streak said, "Hey Tikal, this is hard for me to say… but will… you marry me?" He pulled out a gleaming diamond ring.

Tikal blushed. "Well…I don't know what to say…"

Streak looked down. He had blew it. He had said it too fast.

Tikal looked up. "Yes! I will marry you!"

Streak smiled and put the ring on her finger.

"Ever since we met, I had feelings for you, Streak." Tikal said.

"I wanted to say the same thing, but I thought you would say no."

"You thought wrong!" Streak laughed.

They both looked out at the sunset. Then Tikal inched her hand into Streak's, and they kissed under the fiery sun.

2 weeks later…

Streak has been thinking about his "adventure" with GUN and realizes that he needs to be stronger in case something could happen again. He is now traveling down the road, vowing to come back one day.

Espio has moved into a apartment near the beach, and practices his ninja skills every day.

Shadow has returned to his apartment, thinking about what Streak did.

As for Sonic and Amy…

Sonic walked among the wreckage of GUN, with Amy close behind. Since GUN was destroyed, he couldn't get the money, and went to his normal life.

He was still searching for anything valuable in the remains.

He came across and huge metal plate in the ground. There was a button in the top left corner.

"What's this?"

He looked at Amy. She was searching away at something, not noticing what he was doing.

Sonic wondered if there could be anything worth something down there.

"Maybe it's a safe of some kind…"

Sonic lifted his finger…

And pressed the button.
