Flowing Pedals Of Light- Above Who We See

By InuSonishaUnlimited

A story that I've been thinking about for the longest time, Sonic x Cosmo. I don't own any of the SEGA characters here and my fan characters will be identified in the story. Rated for sex and violence, along with language. Not a single flame will be accepted, but suggestions are welcomed. If you don't like the couple, don't read the damn story. We're nearing the home stretch of this story, so stay with me here. It ends now, so here you are, the final chapter of my story.

Chapter 24: The Final Judgment(probably heard something like this a billion times already but...)

In the skies above the city of Turg, Sonic was strung up like a puppet. His eyes were closed, he made no efforts to escape and the chains started to glow more insidiously. Across the general area that this whole story revolved around, people who came in contact with Sonic felt a presence and were drawn to the sight of the Final Judgment. In Station Square, Mizare felt the presence while training. "Huh? What's this?...There's no question...It's Sonic...He's in trouble!" she said, dashing out towards the city of Turg. Same city, same scenario with Rina. "That felt like Sonic. You, watch over the shop please. I've got to attend something important." she said, dashing out and leaving her store attendents to handle things. Sukimi alkso felt something and didn't waste anytime figuring out what it was. "He's in trouble, I know it!" she said, dashing as fast as she can.

They all arrive on the scene of the Final Judgment and were all equally frightened as to the sight before them. The booming voice of the heavens sounded off after what seemed like an hour of silence. "Sonic the Hedgehog, Omega Ranked Geosynthesizer. You stand before us charged with the offense of breaking the most sacred of taboos, you have sprayed blood using the Grand Blades of Geos. Do you deny this?" the voice said to Sonic, who opened his eyes slightly. "...No." he said, everyone gasping. "No, Sonic! Just lie!" Cosmo shouted to him, making him close his eyes again. "You realize the severity and crimes of the great taboos of Geosynthesis, do you not?" said the voice again. "Yes, the three Great Taboos of Geosynthesis: if you try to bring back what was lost of life, life shall be lost upon you by means of soul, if you deny the presence of Geos around you, your children will be cursed with the brand of Geos and never be capable of certain bodily functions and if you slay by means of the Grand Blades of Geos, your soul is sent to the Maze of Rugredia to wander endlessly until the Geoaura diminishes and life is lost forever...the Great Taboos of Geosynthesis..." Sonic recited with relative ease. "So those are the sacred "don't do this" of Geosynthesis..." Knuckles said. "I never knew they were so serious..." Shadow said. "I never knew how serious the punishments were..." Cosmo said. "So the last one is what Sonic did?" Tails said.

"Unfortunately so. Although at the moment, he was unaware of the taboo, Sonic did slay with the Grand Blades of Geos. As a result, he broke the sacred taboo." said the voice, making Sonic look away, although this was strange since the voice wasn't coming from any general direction. "But he didn't mean to do it!" Cosmo shouted but recieved little response. "I am aware of what I've done...and I am aware of the punishment that will befall me." Sonic said. "...Fuck you, Sonic..." said a low voice that attracted Sonic's attention. That was Shiorae who was shaking violently. "Couldn't even lie to save your own goddamn life, could ya?...Always gotta be concerned about others and not yourself, don't ya?! Well you know what!? Go to hell!!" Shiorae shouted, surprising everyone. "Shiorae...I'm sorry..." Sonic said lowly. "GO TO HELL!! GO TO FUCKING HELL!! BURN IN THAT HELLISH FLAME, WHY DON'T YA?!" Shiorae shouted loudly. "Shiorae, please stop..." Cosmo said. "YOU COULDN'T LIE TO SAVE YOUR GODDAMNED LIFE!! YOU COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT MUCH!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THIS!?" Shiorae continued to shout. "...Because...I don't want to be treated differently..." Sonic said. "What...what do you mean?" Cosmo asked him. "I know what I did wrong, it's been done by Geosynthesizers who found the swords and killed with them...if they met this fate...so should I..." Sonic said truthfully. "Sonic...you must be sure of your fate. You can be given a second chance..." said the voice. "A second chance...I don't think I've earned one..." he said, making everyone gasp once more.

At this point, Shiorae has lost it and is radiating with dark energy. "THAT DOES IT!! I'M GONNA FUCK YOU UP ONCE I GET YOU DOWN, SONIC!! RRRAAAAHHHHH!!!" Shiorae shouted as he blasted himself towards Sonic, brandishing two dark energy blades in his hands. As he neared Sonic, he came into contact with a very, very painful barrier. "SHIT!! FUCKING SHIT!! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY, YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!! ARRGGGHHH!!" Shiorae continued shouting with rage as he slashed against the barrier. "Damn, he's really upset...Cosmo, what're you...!?" Tails shouted as Cosmo jumped up and launched an assault against the barrier. "YOU!! GET OUT OF HERE!! THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!!" Shiorae shouted at her, yet she continued to hit the barrier. "You'd be wrong, Shiorae...this does concern me...he's my beloved..." she said, continuing her assault. "Cosmo...fine." he responded, attacking like crazy. "Let the Final Judgment commence." said the voice as the chains pulled Sonic higher into the air. "Sonic the Hedgehog, Omega Ranked Geosynthesizer and bearer of the Omega Force Gem, you stand charged with breaking the greatest of taboos in Geosynthesis and relay no desires of a second chance. As a result, you have been sentenced to having your soul sent to the Maze of Rugredia to wander endlessly. Have you any last words to be spoken?" said the voice.

"Actually, I have a lot to say before this goes down. You mind?" "Of course not, take as much time as necessary." "Very well, then. Tails, you're my best friend in the whole world and have always been there for me. Man, I remember our first meeting like it was only yesterday...and you've grown so much since then." "Sonic...man, this is too much..." Tails said. "Knuckles,, I never hated you. I've always know us to be rivals, if not good friends. Even when you caused stupid shit due to Eggman's tricks, I know you had good intentions. A mountainous warrior is all I could describe of you." "...Damn it, I can't say anything..." "Shadow, you are a good friend, if not just another of my rivals. You always gave good advice and got money from me through inane bets but...it was always in good fun." "Yeah, I guess so..." "Rina, our first meeting wasn't what I would call normal but the events that followed were an adventure that would give you the chance to change your life. I'm glad you made that fateful choice and that I was able to see the change." "I am as well, Sonic..." "Mizare, you beat the shit out of me that day we met and showed a true warrior spirit afterwards. I have faith that you'll be a master of the arts you possess." "Yeah...of course I will!" "Sukimi, you really did a good thing for me and I'll never forget it. Let that spirit that you possess bring you to new heights in the future." "Of course I will. Take care...oh, I can't say that..." A long silence later, Sonic made his last little speech.

"Cosmo...heh, there's a lot I could say, but I'm not gonna bore you with the things you already know. The day we met felt like fate to me and the affection was sincere. I could never love another as much as I do to you." "Sonic...I don't know what I'll be able to without you..." "Hey, come on. You've got a strong spirit, a good heart and plently of friends. Besides that..." "Huh?" "I'm not going anywhere. Remember? I'm always right here." Sonic said, pointing to the location of his heart. "Sounds cheesy but it's true. No matter what happens, I'm right there with you, okay?" "You sure you won't be able to pull off another miraculous escape...?" Cosmo asked him. "Heh, you know me...but I'm not too sure this time..." Sonic said as the chains pulled him higher. "Let's see...I guess all I have left to say to anyone I missed and everyone in general is...I love you all..." he said as his body started glowing and his soul was pulled out of his body by a chain going through his back, transparently of course. His soulless body dropped down to the ground slowly, Cosmo catching it upon impact. Her tears dropped onto the cold body of the blue hedgehog, his eyes shut as if was asleep. Shiorae looked high in the sky, shaking violently until he shouted to the heavens, "FUCK...YOU...SSSSOOOOONNNNIIIIICCCCC!!!!"

Sonic's soul passed through a passage of blinding light until he reached a dark place with multiple passages and clear skeletons. "...So, this is the Maze of Rugredia. I was sort of expecting a nice wallpaper design or something. Well, whatever, I guess...huh?" Sonic looked behind himself and saw the two figures I mentioned earlier descending from the sky. "Sonic...so you ended up here after all..." said the female one. "How have you been, boy?" said the male one. "Wait...those voices...from the...grave!? Mother!? Father!?" Sonic said, rushing to embrace the female one that turned out to be his mother. "We've missed you so much." she said, returning the hug and releasing Sonic to hug his old man. "Oh Sonic, it's been so long!" he said, grabbing Sonic and hugging him. Sonic did the same, except his face was turning purple. "Uh...Dad...can't...breathe..." "Oh, sorry. So, we've heard what has occured. You know that it is certain secondary death walking through this maze. I say secondary because the loss of your soul is one thing to die from but your soul itself can also die in here." his father said. "Gee, thanks for the encouragement. So now what?" Sonic asked. "The Grand Master Geos wishes for you to have a second chance, Sonic. That is why he sent us here to see you and deliver this." his mother said, holding up a glowing flower.

"A...a flower? That's my second chance? Pretty vague if you ask me." "Behold, Sonic." his father said, unleashing a strong blast of air from his mouth, blowing the pedals outward. "The pedals are glowing...is this what I think it is?" Sonic asked, with his parents smiling. "Indeed. Follow the flowing pedals of light, Sonic. They will lead you to the exit...and to Grand Master Geos." his mother said. "What about you? Will you remain here?" Sonic asked them. "Silly boy. We aren't going anywhere. We'll be right here..." his father said, pointing to Sonic's heart. "Heh, like father, like son. Better get going sweetie." his mother said, embracing Sonic after his father did the same. "Okay, catch you later, I guess!" Sonic said, dashing along the pedals at light speed, his parents waving him off. "Good luck and godspeed, Sonic." they both said, watching him go off. In no time, Sonic stood before the Grand Master Geos. "You made it." he said, a large cloaked dragon with ten silver wings. "Yeah, thanks to you. And my parents for delivering the message and gift. You sure about this?" he asked. "Of course. You deserve it. Now go on. Follow the path of light to the world below." Geos said. "Okay. I''ll do my best this time! I promise!" Sonic said, giving a thumbs up. Surprisingly, Geos did the same thing. "Godspeed, Sonic. Godspeed." said Geos, who grabbed Sonic and threw him through the path of light toward his body. "Heh, definitely your son." he told his parents who arrived on the scene. "Yes, considering it took him less time to clear the maze than you, dear." his mother said. "Heh, well he had help. It took me a good couple of weeks!" his father said, making everyone laugh. "Let's see how everything develops, huh?" Geos said, with large doors closing behind them. "What of the swords?" "Ahh, let him keep them. He earned them, after all."

A large column of light cover where Cosmo was sitting with Sonic's body. Suddenly, a very fast moving sphere of blue energy was moving towards Sonic's body and entered it, making his body float in the air. Everyone saw his arms moving and his eyes open and soon, before them all, was the same hedgehog. "Heh...guess I did earn a second chance." he said, waving to everyone. Suddenly, Shiorae appeared and conked him over the head very hard. "You do that shit again and I'll hit you even harder, you get that!?" he said. "Uhh..yeah, sure thing, Shiorae." Sonic said, rubbing his head. "I don't think you heard me!" he yelled. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." Sonic responded. "That's more like it. Now then.." he said, stretching out his hand and taking his remaining power from Sonic. "Now I have my whole body. Thanks for keeping it safe." Shiorae said. "No problem." Sonic responded, the ache in his head finally subsiding. Everyone got their fare shares of affectionate responses, hugs, handshakes, exclaims, all that good stuff. When everyone had their fun, they watched and awaited as Sonic and Cosmo ran to each other and embraced. With one last and passionate kiss, she held him tightly as their lips remained together saying only this...

"Welcome back, my beloved..."

-And there you have it. To all those who were against this couple, I praise you for surviving the story and your opinions were taken in stride. For everyone who responded, thanks a lot. And for the people who hated it, I appreciate your wasted time all the same. All done, so pat yourself on the back and...well, I guess that's it. Thanks a lot!! Be sure to be on the lookout for my new story "Fight of the Hellish", which will bring a new twist to the Sonic world.
