As the oracle predicted, soon Eggman had taken over Rose Castle. He sat in the throne room with the prisoners he unexpectedly decided to keep alive tied before him. King and Queen Rose, Amy Rose, Cream, and Tails were the only ones left alive.

The demented ruler gives a devilish grin at Amy. "Amy Rose, stand up."

The aid of a spear point makes the sakura hedgehog stand. The evil king nods to one of his guards. "Remove her clothing. I want to see what my new sex slave has to offer me."

Everyone is horrified, and tears fall down Amy's face as a guard goes to remove the clothing from her body.

It's at this moment that the doors fly open and Sonic bolts in. "EGGMAN!"

Evil King Eggman's eyes widen as the oracle's warning echoes in his head. He signals the 8 guards in the room to attack the blue speedster, but Sonic wastes no time cutting them down with a sword he stole from the forge.

Still wearing his tattered blue robe, Sonic turns to the evil ruler. "This is between us Eggman. 17 years ago you had your messenger and guards kill my family and Miles' family. Now you're going to face the vengeance that's eluded you for so long."

Evil King Eggman gets a sword and attacks Sonic, but the speedster knocks the blade away. He counters with a heavy slash toward Eggman's left side, but this is also blocked, and Sonic is kicked across the floor. Eggman gives chase, but Sonic kicks him in the jaw. Blood erupts from the demented king's mouth as he is sent reeling to the other side of the room.

The prisoners had managed to get away to the left side of the room, and watched with shock in their eyes. The fight lasts for several minutes, each giving as good as they were getting.

Eggman finally kicks Sonic to the ground and stands over him. "So much for that oracle's prediction."

Eggman buries his sword point in the floor, but Sonic wasn't there. The flat of Sonic's sword knocks the evil ruler to the floor, unconscious.

Sonic unties everyone, and Amy tackles him. "SONIKKU!"

Sonic hits the floor as Amy covers his muzzle in kisses. "Easy Amy. I didn't come out of that fight untouched."

Amy nods and helps Queen Rose bandage up his cuts. King Rose stares at Sonic and Amy with fire in his blue eyes.

Sonic's emerald green eyes flash, but he kneels. "Sire."

The fire red hedgehog shakes his head. "Stand up Sonic."

The blue hedgehog stands, and King and Queen Rose kneel before him. "It's we who should be bowing to you."

Sonic chuckles, then Amy kisses him. "My prince."

Sonic kisses back and looks to the king and queen. "So, am I allowed back in the castle?"

King Rose stands and nods. "Yes. You've proven yourself to me, and have regained my trust that you'll be a good mate for Amy. Besides, you have a child on the way."

After Eggman's unconscious body was flung far away with one of his catapults, the king had the squire write something down, and then everyone went to bed.

-The next afternoon-

Rose Castle was alive with cheering townspeople. King and Queen Rose walk out onto their balcony, and King Rose speaks to the townspeople crowding the streets. "Good townspeople! Today is a wondrous day! As you all know, Sonic the Hedgehog has rescued us from Evil King Eggman! It is on this day that I wish to show my gratitude! Sonic, please come join me."

The cobalt speedster walks out to the balcony with Amy by his side. Sonic faces the fire red king, who nods. "Kneel before me Sonic."

Sonic kneels, and the king gets his sword. He lightly touches the flat of the sword blade on Sonic's left shoulder, and then his right shoulder. "I dub thee Sir Sonic, Knight of Rose Castle. Rise, Sir Sonic."

Sonic rises to the cheering of the townspeople. He smiles and speaks to them. "Thank you."

His deep voice is heard all over the area. "It is with great pride and thanks that I accept this knighting. I think I should also mention that Princess Amy is expecting a child, and I can't wait to be a father!"

Amy blushes, and Sonic pulls her to him, giving her a passionate kiss. The townspeople cheer loudly, then Queen Rose speaks. "Sir Sonic and Princess Amy have an announcement they'd like me to make. Once the child is born, Sonic and Amy are to be married!"

Loud cheering greets this announcement, making Princess Amy and Sir Sonic blush deeply.

-1 year later-

The priest, Sir Sonic, King and Queen Rose, the recently married Tails and Cream, and the newborn baby hedgehog baby Annabelle were on the balcony. Sally had decided not to let Sonic see his other child, but he was just fine with that.

Tails bangs a gong, and Princess Amy walks out to the balcony. Sonic adjusted his blue silk robe as the pink hedgehog princess walked in front of him. Her white linen dress showed off her womanly curves and made Sonic blush.

The priest nods and begins the wedding. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered in the sight of God to join Princess Amy Rose and Sir Sonic the Hedgehog in holy matrimony! If anyone feels that these two should not be wed, let them speak now or stay silent forever!"

No takers, so the priest continues. "Sonic the Hedgehog, take Amy's hands and repeat after me."

Sonic takes Amy's hands and repeats what the priest tells him. "I, Sir Sonic the Hedgehog, do take thee Princess Amy Rose, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

Amy gives a small sniffle. Never in her life did she think this day would come. The priest turns to Amy and has her repeat after him. "I, Princess Amy Rose, do take thee Sir Sonic the Hedgehog, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

The priest nods and addresses the townspeople. "Let it be known from here on that Sir Sonic and Princess Amy Rose are married! May they live long lives and bear more healthy children!"

Sonic and Amy share a kiss, and they go inside. Cream smiles as she holds Annabelle. "I'm so happy King Rose changed his mind and allowed this child to live."

Tails nods. "Me too Cream. She's adorable."

The pinkish baby hedgehog makes a cooing noise, and Amy takes her. "Thanks for holding her guys."

Cream hugs her. "I'm so happy for you and Sir Sonic."

Amy smiles. "Thank you Cream. I wasn't sure if this day would ever come. That, and I have a healthy child with my new husband."

Sonic was busy talking with King and Queen Rose. "Thank you for changing your minds."

The fire red and white hedgehogs smile, their eyes shining. King Rose speaks first. "I have to say that I had my doubts when you first arrived here and impregnated my daughter. That all changed after you defeated Evil King Eggman."

Sonic bows. "Thank you Sire."

Queen Rose smiles. "In a few years you and Amy will be king and queen, and you'll be in the same place we are now, watching your daughter get married to her true love."

Sonic blushes. "Thank you Your Highness."

Amy sidles over to her husband. "Oh Sonikku... We have our wedding chambers to go to."

Sonic grins. "Yes Ames, but what about Annabelle?"

Amy smiles. "I think Cream and Miles can watch her for our wedding night."

The royal blue hedgehog smiles at his rose-pink wife. "I think that's a good idea, if they don't mind."

Tails chuckles. "Not at all."

Amy winks at Sonic, and he follows her to their chambers.
