Resolution

As the rest of the gang celebrated, Thystan and the Aussies discussed their short time in knowing each other.

"Yeah, too bad though. I didn't even put any bullets in her. Or, not many…" Hawk shrugged. "Oh well, it was fun. You don't see things like that on Earth." Thystan sighed.

"Yeah, well it's almost weekly here." Chase jumped.

"REALLY? Ay, Hawkster! I think I'm gonna like this place!" Hawk nodded in agreement as he puffed his cigar. Then they sighed.

"Ay, but, I think it's time we part…." Chase nodded.

"Yeah mate, we've got some things to get straight here. This planet and all it's funny creatures are sorta getting to me, and I'd like to get to know the commonplace." Thystan nodded.

"Yeah… I have some things to figure out myself…" Hawk took the cigar out of his mouth.

"Ay, what you got to find, Thys?" Thystan looked over.

"I've got to find… who I am…" Chase was confused.

"Who you are? You're Thystan, for one, and also a hell of a guy. Awfully weird breed, but… OK!" Him, Chase, and Thystan laughed. Then Thystan spoke again.

"Yea, I don't remember anything of my past…" Hawk dropped the cigar.

"WHAT? Dude, that sucks!" Chase looked at Hawk.

"Yeah, that would be, like, being born at 20 years old!" Hawk nodded.

"Yeah, like, suicide…" They all looked and stared at each other for a long time, when they decided to part; Thystan was just going into the house to take a shower. Not a huge fan of parties. Sonic noticed them each going different ways, and yelled after Thystan.

"Hey Thystan! Where ya going?" Thystan turned and looked at him. He then shouted.

"I'm just going to take a shower! I'll be in here playing Dynasty Warriors!" Sonic nodded.

'Great guy.' He thought to himself. At this moment, Alexi Septimus could be seen flying through the air. 'What in the hell is wrong with that guy? (This is a joke between me and my friends.) He then looked towards Manic, who had guarded the Master Emerald, like he always did when he saw Knux was gone. That is, if he actually came outside. Manic had moved a long time ago to the outskirts of Metropolis, and Sonic barely ever saw him. Lately, though, he had been out quite a bit. He walked up to Sonic and handed him his old necklace.

"Here, bro. Your necklace... never could figure out how to play guitar… I'll just stick to the drums. Sonic laughed and turned to Amy, who had come to annoy him, as usual. She started bothering him about going on a ferry ride, but he, as usual, rejected. Knuckles, Tikal, Sora, and Rouge were also talking.

"Yeah… so, see ya later, Rouge. And happy hunting." Rouge smiled.

"That's not what you'll say when I finally get the Master Emerald." Knuckles laughed.

"Tikal, get back to the valley." Tikal shook her head.

"No… I'll stay with Sora." Knuckles got mad.

"No! You can't bother us! We've got to guard our stones!" Rouge laughed and flew off. Sora grabbed Tikal.

"It's ok. She can come." They were off. Knuckles looked on. He could faintly here Ynaffit and Kari singing.

'So… I guess this is it… Damn, what a ride.' He looked up at the skies and saw a shooting star.

'And, here's to us… and everyone on Nyrsina…' He nodded and slowly walked back to his throne on Emerald Island.

"Hey, Knux! Where ya going so early?" He turned to see Sonic.

"I'm going home, where else?" Sonic laughed.

"You're not much of a party guy, huh, Knucklehead?" Knuckles kept a straight face and continued on.

"No, Sonic, I'm not." Sonic looked on as Artail, Squire, and Madrix flew by him with Jimmy Pop Colas in their hands. He continued to stare at Knuckles. He then shook his head and turned and went back to the beach, where the party raged on for the gang… and seemed like it was never going to stop. Ynaffit and Kari were singing 'The End' by Bullet for My Valentine.

"Your head reminds me, of a time when we once were…" Everyone gathered around the fire as they sang. It was a moment to remember those who had passed in the fight… "Your scent reminds me, of a place we used to go… the kisses placed upon my neck show signs of… no return…" everybody just listened in silence. "The taste of you inside my mouth remains, but still I'm hearing…." Espio, who had the best voice of the men, joined in. "And now the end is here… there's no more pills to swallow… the bitter taste I feel won't lead me to tomorrow!" Sonic, Frynic, Vector, and everyone else who knew the chorus sang along as Sonic and Manic played their instruments to the chorus.

"Cries for anger! Lies for power! Fighting for nothing, is what you were born for! Cries for anger! Lies for power! Fighting for nothing, is what you were born for…"

Meanwhile, in the house, Thystan was sitting on the couch, in the dark.

'Shadow… what does he have to do with me? And why?' He thought over and over in is head. Finally, Kari walked in.

"Hey, Thystan." Thystan looked at her, surprised.

"Kari? Why aren't you partying?" Kari looked at him and sat down.

"Because. I've got some things to go over with you." Thystan looked at her, confused. Then, she kissed him, and they fell back on the couch.

"I love you Thystan." He said the same, and then continued to make out. Ahh, the heroes life…
