CONCLUSION
Name: Vector
Fights: Knuckles [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Balrog [Street Fighter 2]
Intended Execution: Hanging [Detective Executed Like Criminal]
Aftermath: Vector had to receive a substantial amount of blood and have his face and chest stitched. His two bottom teeth grew back.
After Sonic and Sally married, her father became ill and was unfit to rule. Her mother took care of him, leaving the kingdom's responsibility to Queen Sally and King Sonic. He promoted Vector in the Mobian Police Force to First Class Chief Detective, sending the aged former owner of the title to a paid retirement. With Vector as the detective commander, crime rings had a new name to fear. Just three months later, he married the love of his life Vanilla.
Name: Espio
Fights: Shadow [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Eiji / Jin Fuha [Art of Fighting Series]
Intended Execution: Slit Throat [Assassin's Technique]
Aftermath: Espio did not work for the next two weeks to recover from his concussion. He had multiple chiropractic treatments for his back and had his left shoulder stitched.
All he knows is staying under the radar. Espio continued working along with Charmy under Vector's command, until he joined the police force. From then, he was often sent out on missions by command of either King Sonic, Vector, and even Shadow. They both got over their fight. Espio never married. With his profession, he could not even if he wanted to. Perhaps that was best to carry out his full potential as an undercover agent.
Name: Sally
Fights: Tails [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Blue Mary / Ralf Jones [KOF 2002]
Intended Execution: Forced Firearm Suicide [Handgun Experience]
Aftermath: Sally needed a full month to recover from such a severe concussion. She additionally needed to rest from the fractures in her legs. The nail punctures needed only mild treatment.
Her disappearance from Mobius had caused a national emergency. With that experience in mind, her father proposed new laws toughening sentences for crime. Princess Sally married Sonic that same year. When her father stepped down, King Sonic and Queen Sally were Mobius' leaders. With much the same mind as her father, Queen Sally had little to change. Sonic and her had two children, Prince Manik and Princess Sonia.
Name: Ash
Fights: Mina [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Takuma Sakazaki [KOF 2002]
Intended Execution: Steel Headphones [Music Manager]
Aftermath: The torn muscles in his arms healed over time, but he needed surgery for his dislocated elbows. His shoulders and back recovered in just a week.
He and Mina made it up to each other after their brutal fight. However, when Mina gained international fame, Ash refused to leave Mobius. They decided it was best to let go. They decided to break up, and Ash landed a job with Overburn Records. Mina and Ash remain good friends to the present. Since then, he fell in love with another mongoose he met at a sports bar and they have been dating for months.
Name: Rouge
Fights: Mighty [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Terry Bogard [KOF 2002]
Intended Execution: Falling Master Emerald [Jewel Thief]
Aftermath: Her left elbow was able to be repositioned, but she required surgery for her right wrist and a torn tendon.
Rouge continued her career in crime even after the events. Years later, she finally managed to win Knuckles' heart. They married rather quickly and are raising a son, Claws. When Sonic became king, he gave her two choices: return all she had stolen or face prison time. For returning the Master Emerald to Knuckles, he paid off the debt. Rouge now runs a jewelry shop full time and has not touched stolen property since.
Name: Sticks
Fights: Amy [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Jade [Mortal Kombat 11]
Intended Execution: Lethal Injection [American Execution]
Aftermath: She needed a few sessions with an ophthalmologist and a surgery on her right eye to see correctly. Her concussion faded quickly after a week of rest.
Sticks has always been crazy. She never let anyone confuse that for unintelligence. She enrolled in Central Mobius University and graduated with a degree in Environmental Science. Sticks surprisingly made a career as an environmentalist speaker. Her proudest accomplishment was preventing her native jungle from being torn down for buildings. She also never married, never having wanted to either.
Name: Silver
Fights: Blaze [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Fujin [Mortal Kombat 11]
Intended Execution: Electrocution [Energy]
Aftermath: Silver was left with numerous scars across his back from Blaze's claws. All other cuts he had healed properly given a few weeks. He had a few burns that were successfully treated, and he had no lasting respiratory damage.
Silver traveled to the Sol Dimension with Blaze, deciding that was better than returning to his future. Eggman's death had helped substantially to correct the future. In the years that followed, Blaze noticed that Silver had matured, more so when he asked to marry her. Her mother, despite being on the brink of death, approved. A week after they married, she passed on, leaving the Sol Kingdom to King Silver and Queen Blaze. Relations between them and Mobius improved significantly.
Name: Zooey
Fights: Sonic [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Lenny Creston [Art of Fighting 3]
Intended Execution: Falling [Previous Near Death]
Aftermath: Her only injury was a concussion, yet it proved to be life-threatening. Having Tails with her during the second and last month of recovery actually sped it up.
Zooey appreciated Tails spending hours with her as she was still in recovery. He forgave Sonic for what he did. Tails and Zooey continued dating for years, but they became more distant as they got older. Finally, when Zooey completed her nursing degree, she got an immediate high salary job opportunity three hours away. She told Tails, and they decided to let go, but still remain good friends. Zooey is now engaged to another mechanic who loves her just as much.
Name: Knuckles
Fights: Vector - Shadow [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Heavy D [KOF 98 AE]
Intended Execution: Beating [Boxer]
Aftermath: Knuckles had a broken nose, dislocated jaw, and severe concussion in addition to facial bruising. His jaw was repositioned, his nose and impaled chest healed after surgery, and two weeks of rest aided his concussion in addition to the other healing.
Knuckles is known only for one thing: his strength. Through continual training, he became a professional boxer. While both were in their early 20s, he married his gorgeous wife Rouge. In his career's final fight, he challenged Shadow, who accepted. Despite being a friendly match, Knuckles nearly beat him to death. After that, Knuckles competed in many bodybuilder competitions. Living quietly just wasn't for him. He trains his son, Claws, in hopes that he will become a boxer one day.
Name: Mina
Fights: Ash - Tails [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Athena Asamiya / Ryuji Yamazaki [KOF 2002]
Intended Execution: Short Fuse Performance Fireworks [Used on Stage]
Aftermath: She received chiropractic treatments for her neck while in the hospital to recover from her fractured legs. The nail wounds healed quickly. She had slight pain in her head and jaw that didn't last long.
Even after the fights, Mina's singing remained good as ever. She gained international fame within years, having an opportunity to perform worldwide. As Ash refused to leave Mobius, they broke up, but are still on good terms. While in Japan, she ran into someone she did not expect: Tails. To her surprise, he asked her out. She accepted, and continued the relationship until she returned to Mobius. They became engaged and were married years later. Turns out Eggman isn't always wrong. She continues singing, supported by her loving husband Tails, and their two children, Melody and Skye Prower.
Name: Mighty
Fights: Rouge - Amy [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Lee [Street Fighter] / Blue Mary [KOF 2002]
Intended Execution: Broken Neck [Forbidden Sambo Technique]
Aftermath: His shell was repaired only after extensive surgery. His neck was healed through chiropractic care, and his concussion died down over time. His face wasn't scarred and his jaw was fine. His broken hand also required surgery.
Not many people knew Mighty. He had previously worked for Team Chaotix. Despite declaring himself a pacifist, he fought valiantly. On their request, Mighty left for the Sol Dimension with Silver and Blaze, to work as a bodyguard. They convinced him that if they were harmed, much more violence would ensue. Working for 'the man' didn't suit him. He joined Vector, Shadow, and Espio to form a new Team Chaotix, called the International Secret Service. They recruited agents worldwide for the security of their leaders.
Name: Blaze
Fights: Silver - Sonic [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Iori Yagami [KOF 2002]
Intended Execution: Burning [Pyrokinesis]
Aftermath: Her burned neck and severe concussion had to be treated medically. She got a false tooth to replace the lost one, and received extensive chiropractic treatment for her back. Her bruised face healed over a week.
Blaze was next in line to the Sol throne. Her mother always pushed for her to marry a strong man, considering he would one day be king. Every time, her mind reverted to Silver. She thought him to be honorable, but not very mature. After the fight, she noticed Silver taking his duties more seriously. She was slightly shocked when he asked to marry her, but she agreed. When her mother died, they took the throne. With Silver's knowledge of the future and her leadership background, they ruled Sol to perfection.
Name: Tails
Fights: Sally - Mina - Shadow [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Rody Birts [Art of Fighting 3]
Intended Execution: Roundsaw Decapitation [Tools]
Aftermath: He ended up with a range of bruising in multiple places, especially across his back. Wounds from the nails healed quickly as well. His neck needed chiropractic treatment. He also needed a weeks' rest to recover from a mild concussion.
A mechanic since he was 6, Tails had his career lined up for him. As both he and Zooey graduated high school, they became more distant, eventually deciding to break up. They still remain good friends. On a trip to Japan, he met someone from a not too distant past: Mina. After hearing that she and Ash broke up, he asked her out. They continued their relationship and were engaged and married in Mobius. Now, they have 2 kids, Melody and Skye.
Name: Amy
Fights: Sticks - Mighty - Sonic [Defeat]
Character Inspiration: Shao Kahn [Mortal Kombat 11]
Intended Execution: Stabbed in Back by Sonic [Through the Heart]
Aftermath: Amy had significant torn skin in her arms and back, requiring weeks and many bandages to heal. She needed surgery for the hole through her shoulder. Her left eye bruise healed itself but she needed treatment for her dislocated left elbow. She needed chiropractic treatment for her neck and back. She needed only a week to heal a mild concussion.
Just like her hammer skill, Amy was also well known for her persistent crush on Sonic. Her heart broke when she saw Sonic leave her behind, or so she thought. Shadow had stopped just for her. That gained her respect, which quickly turned to love. Shadow had felt the same, and they both started dating. They married six years later. Sonic and Sally gave her a position as caregiver for the royal children, which she gladly accepted. When her assistance was no longer needed, Amy and Shadow started a family. They are raising two children, Shion and Aurora. Amy is now a housewife, and sometimes babysits Claws and the Prower children.
Name: Shadow
Fights: Espio - Knuckles - Tails - Sonic [Defeat?]
Character Inspiration: Ryuji Yamazaki [KOF 2002]
Intended Execution: Acid Dissolving [Cannot Die]
Aftermath: Shadow heals at an unnaturally quick rate. The only damage that needed medical treatment were a severe concussion, fractured skull, wounds from dozens of nails, and the explosion burns on his chest. All healed in under a month with no problems.
After being cleared of murder by King Sonic, Shadow was forced to put his life as an assassin away. But due to his skill, he was given an opportunity to redeem himself as a personal bodyguard for King Sonic and Queen Sally. Despite working at such a high level, he managed to find time for Amy. Her position as royal caretaker made that much easier. Outside his professional life, he and Amy dated for years, until they finally married. Ten years later, when the royal children matured, Amy's help was no longer required. The two of them started a family, having two children, Shion and Aurora. Shadow has since regained Sonic's trust.
Name: Sonic
Fights: Zooey - Blaze - Amy - Shadow
Character Inspiration: Jhun Hoon [KOF 2000]
Intended Execution: Drowning / Boiled Alive [Hates Water]
Aftermath: Sonic was left with a concussion, broken nose and foot, burns under the arms, on the hips, and his right leg, whip marks, bruised right eye, dislocated hip, and misaligned spine. It was a miracle he managed to stand at all. All were professionally medically treated while he was put under an induced coma. He didn't feel any pain.
Sonic lives to run. So it came as a challenge when he was expected to run Mobius. He and Sally had continued dating and married. Her father had vacated the throne due to serious illness. After hiring some of his old friends for positions he knew they were qualified for, Sonic and Sally worked quickly to ensure Mobius held its honorable status as a land of justice and order. Their alliance with the Sol kingdom aided in finishing its wars. Once the most pressing work had been taken care of, King Sonic and Queen Sally started a family. They have two children, Prince Manik and Princess Sonia. A man fit to be king if ever there was one.
Name: Eggman
The mastermind behind it all, Eggman had proved himself irreparably corrupt. Forcing all of his enemies to fight and sparing the one who won was his final scheme. Determining that he was incapable of any good, Shadow resolved to kill him. He accomplished his goal, although running Eggman through his own devices was a slow, cruel, and torturous method. Eggman did not survive.
Name: Metal Sonic
The villainous counterpart to Sonic himself, Metal Sonic has been Eggman's second in command ever since Orbot and Cubot were destroyed. Knowing only his evil master's commands, Shadow shot him and Metal Sonic is gone forever.
Name: Cyrax - Sektor - Smoke. [Characters by Midway]
Coming from the universe of Mortal Kombat, the three Cyber Lin Kuei are a serious threat. That is why Eggman reprogrammed them to serve him. Not knowing how to reprogram them and their deadly weapon usage is why they were all destroyed.
