Bonus Chapter: Sonic's Gift. (Surprise song belongs to its respective owners and it's lyrics have been changed a bit to keep to the story's kid-friendly nature.)

Sonic was heading into the living room, where Sonia and Manic were watching a movie, carrying something behind his back. It was something for his siblings. Earlier that morning, Aleena suggested that Sonic spend some time with Sonia and Manic while she went on a trip to see King Max. Sonic thought of something perfect to do. For the past few weeks, Sonia and Manic had been saying that they wanted to try a song that would put the Sonic Underground's skills to the ultimate test. Now, Sonic felt he finally had the thing that would do just that. As Sonia and Manic laughed at a funny moment in The Nutty Professor, Sonic came in.

"Hey, Bro, Sis." the blue hedgehog said.

Sonia looked at him, "What's up, Sonic?" she asked.

"I have a surprise for you two." Sonic said as he revealed his surprise, making his siblings gasp in surprise before they ran over and knocked Sonic to the ground in a tight hug. Later, the three were in the garage, practicing some music, but Manic missed a few certain drum notes.

"Keep practicing, Manic. You'll get it." Sonic encouraged as they started the song over. They were almost done, when Sonia accidentally messed up a few solos with her keyboard.

"Don't give up, Sonia. You're only going to get better." Sonic said. The more the three siblings practiced, the better at the song instrumentals they got. By the time Aleena returned, they had mastered the song and were standing on a stage in front of hundreds of screaming fans.

"This is for all our fans worldwide and to celebrate our freedom!" Manic yelled.

"We hope you enjoy!" Sonia called.

"One, two, one, two, three,four!" Sonic said before they started a really fast guitar solo and began the lyrics.

(Sonic) On a cold winter morning
In the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign
We ride towards the fight

(Sonia) When the darkness has fallen down
And the times are tough alright
The sound of evil laughter falls
Around the world tonight

(Manic) Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the pain
Bodies wasted on the shores

(Sonia) On the blackest plains in evil's domain
We watch them as they go
Through the fire and pain and once again we know

(All) So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness
Our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown
Far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

(Sonic) As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes

(Manic) Running back through the mid morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars

(Sonia) In your darkest dreams see to believe
Our destiny is time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

(All) And on the wings of a dream
So far beyond reality
All alone in desperation
Now the time has gone
Lost inside you'll never find
Lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
Woah, woah, whoah
Woah, woah, whoah

(Sonic) Now here we stand with their blood on our hands

(Manic) We fought so hard, now can we understand

(Sonia) I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can

(All) For freedom of every man
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

"YEAH!" the three hedgehogs shouted as they finished the song, earning thunderous applause. Sonia then walked over to Sonic, hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you so much, Sonic, for both allowing us to do this and for helping us master the song." she said.

Sonic smiled and gave her a thumbs-up before Manic hugged him and patted him on the back, "You're the best, dude!" he said.

Sonic smiled, "Nothing but the best for my awesome siblings!" he said before all three of them joined hands and took a bow.
