The final chapter! Le finale! Whatever you want to call it, don't matter! Just read it!

Super Sonic just watched the expression on Shadow's face, laughing at the sight. No one could stop him now! He could see the others coming out of the rubble, damaged form the freak attack. Not like it mattered, they would die soon anyway! Sonic watched as Ciel ran up to Shadow.

"Lex! Shadow!" Ciel said once he reached his brother. "Are you okay? What happe-" Ciel froze at the sight of Shadow's arm.

"Notice my arm?" Shadow said. He couldn't hold on for much longer now. His head was spinning too fast, the pain in his body becoming too much. He slightly closed his eyes, wishing the pain would go away.

"Well Shadow, are you ready to beg yet?" Sonic asked. He was getting impatient. He wanted to blow up the ship now, not wait for Shadow and Ciel to shut up! Sonic began to charge up again, when he heard a voice.

"Sonic!" He turned around to see Amy.

"What do you want?" Sonic asked, "Want to yell at me some more? Or do you just want to die now?"

"Sonic," Amy said, tears beginning to fall, "I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
"You're just saying that so I won't kill you!"

"No, I mean it! I'm sorry! I didn't understand about you and Beau! You loved her, and it must have been hard finding out she died."

"Shut up!" Sonic yelled. "You don't know what she meant to me! You never will!" As he said this, the darkness began to blacken. The energy of his anger, combined with the darkness he had taken in, increased the power of the spell, asd well as his own.

"Sonic, please!" Amy cried. "Don't destroy them. But..." Amy kept her gaze fixed on Super Sonic's eyes, not letting him get out of her sight. "But even if you destroy me, them, and everyone else, I forgive you, and I still love you." The words pierced Sonic's heart like an arrow. Impossible, she had ditched him! How could she still manage to forgive him? The energy in his hand began to fade slightly, as a small tear fell down his face.

"N...no!" Sonic screamed. He was in control, he couldn't relinquesh it because of a few words! "No matter what you say, I will still destroy you!"

Scorge watched in terror at his father. This wasn't what his mom had wanted. Mom had always told Scorge that Sonic was a just and good person, never one who would kill. But he was acting the complete opposite of that. Had Mommy made a mistake?

Scorge felt something warm. He looked over at Eno, who was beginning to glow.

"Are you going to help Daddy now?" Scorge asked quietly.

"Yes," Eno said, his voice sounding as calm as ever. "But I need you to go help Amy, okay? Someone needs to help her catch Sonic."

"Okay," Scorge said, turning to run to Amy. Eno watched him go, as his own lifeforce slipped away to power the spell.

"Whatever happens," He whispered, "I do realize that I can never vanquish all darkness. There is no light without dark, no dark without light. But I can do my best to restore things. For Amy." Finally, it was ready. Eno released the energy, slowly fading away as the world was filled with light.

All of a sudden, all the darkness was gone. Pierced by a bright light, which surrounded everything. For a moment, there was nothing else. No movement, no thought, no sound. Just light. Then Amy heard a voice, calm and quiet as ever.

"Amy," It was Eno's voice, though she couldn't see him anywhere. "Remember this Amy. No matter how dark things get, there will always be a light. Do your best to never give up, okay? Sonic needs your light right now. Promise me you'll help him for me."

"Are you really leaving?" Amy asked silently. "But you still have a life to live! You can't die."

"I won't die. Even if my body doesn't make it, I'll always remain with you. Farewell, Amy Rose."

With that, the voice faded away, along with the light. Blue skies were revealed, though Amy could have sworn she felt a tear fall on her cheek. She looked up, as Sonic fell from the sky, the emralds scattering like they always did when unneeded. Amy caught her hero as he fell, Scorge running up to her.

"Is Daddy okay?" Scorge asked Amy. She wasn't sure, but a sudden gasp from Sonic assured her that he was alive.

"Wha...Amy?" Sonic managed to say, opening his eyes. "What happened? I remember the lights going out, and then-"

"Don't worry about it Sonic," Amy said.

"But you...left me." Sonic said.

"Only for a bit," Amy said. "I just needed to sort things out."

"Daddy! Daddy!" Scorge cried, "A shooting star! In the daytime!" Scorge began to jump up and down, flapping his little wings in an effort to fly.

"Hey, you're right," Sonic said happily. "It is a shooting star." Amy just watched in silence. Could that be? Amy wan't sure, just happy to see Sonic smile again. In fact, she was smiling too. It almost seemed everything was smiling. Amongst the happiness, she thought she heard a voice.

"You're welcome Amy"

"Can anyone tell me what that was all about?" Shadow asked, a little dazzled by the sudden burst of light. He looked over at Rouge and the others, who also seemed to have noticed the light.

"I don't know," Ciel said. "But it seems to have repaired your arm...mostly." Shadow looked down. Indeed, his arm had been mostly healed, bearing now only a large wound. But the parts weren't seperated anymore.

"I wonder what that light was," Rouge wondered out loud.

"All that matters is that it happened," Gemini said, as he began to walk away from the debris, limping slightly from a cut on his leg.

"Where are you off to already?" Shadow asked his brother.

"Even though the spell was dismantled, traces of the magic remain," Gemini said. "Maybe, if I can find enough of it, I can reactivate my powers. Besides," Gemini turned to Shadow. "I might even find an emerald while I'm at it."

"Count me in!" Shadow said, catching up to Gemini, despite his injuries. They walked on, followed by Ciel, who had paused just a moment as a shooting star flew across the sky.

And so the story ends. I haven't thought of a sequel yet, but I probably will. Meanwhile, please review the story and tell me what you think. Anyway, chao for now! (Wait, isn't it ciao? Nah.)
