Epilogue: A new Age

It had been a few months since Robotnik's escape, brining the time I spent here to three years. Much of the rebuilding was already underway, and thanks to a file we had found in the mainframe, we where able to construct a de-robotosizer, thanks to Nack's know-how. The first two to be put under the process where, first Trance, as she could fix any faults in it, and then Sonic, who will help coronate the rebuilding of the world. Afterwards came Jeremy, who was currently under a state of depression thanks to what he was forced to do. Jet and Ebon helped him through it, and so the list went on. Though Sonic would help coordinate it, with aide from Shadow, it was Bark we all agreed who would lead as the new president afterwards. He was the best to lead in a state of piece. Amy and Espio agreed to work for him as military leaders, just in case anything else arose. Nite unfortunately was still very much in a deep coma, though his body had recovered fully. When Trance wasn't working she was at his side. Everyone else just pitched in to help out in what ever way they could. It would take a while, but everyone had high hopes about getting everything fixed. And there I stood; ready to go through the vortex… Nack and Trance had been secretly working on it in order to get me back home, to help against Robotnik. Wouldn't my Sonic be surprised to see me?

"So ready to go?" asked Trance

"Almost" I replied, as I placed the rest of my disguise on. It was pretty simple really. A brown cape that covered the majority of my body, the cut from White Knight had formed into a scar, and I had died part of my spikes red, just like Shadow's where naturally.

As I placed the last piece on, shades to cover my red eyes I said "Ready"

Trance nodded. She motioned to Shade to come over to her and placed a small black box around her upper arm.

"What's that?"

"A return device, when you two capture Robotnik, put that on him and push the button. He will end up back here where we will be waiting to de-robotosize him. Unfortunately I could only make one so Shade will be stuck there"

I nodded solemnly. I was still surprised at Shade's reaction earlier when I told her about the rebuilt vortex. She threatened to kill me if I didn't let her go with me. I decided to let her; after all, I needed someone to help me convince Sonic. I don't know why, but I knew that green glow had done something that had kept him alive, and he might need some convincing. Besides I liked her company.

"Well this is goodbye then" said this worlds Sonic to me

"Indeed"

"I guess I should say good luck"

"Would you want to be wished good luck in my shoes?" I grinned

"Heh guess not, we don't really need it do we?"

"Not a bit, good luck to the rest of you though. Capturing Robotnik is a walk in the park compared to rebuilding a fallen world"

"Got that right" agreed Shadow.

"Take care of Nite for me. We wouldn't have made it if it weren't for him"

Trance nodded. "No Problem" she pressed a few buttons on the control panel "It's ready.

"Are you?" I asked Shade. She nodded.

"Are you?" I nodded. With that I saluted, and jumped in to be followed by Shade.

XOXOX

When we landed we where in an old base of Eggman's. I recognised it immediately. It was the Death Egg, not the space station, but the battleship made when Emerl was around. But it wasn't for the size, shape and design I recognised it by. It was by the small shape I saw in front of me. One I never though I would of seen again

"Emerl…"

And that is the end of my story… for now…

But remember, new days always bring new adventures

And for now, rest easy heroes, be you dark, or light
