Chapter 21: Going Back Home

It's early morning in Hazel Island and Blitz was standing in the rock near the ocean again, waiting for the sun to come out. He's definitely looking forward to going back to Mystic Ruins to live life with his new friends, almost as if they're his new family. As he was thinking, he starts looking back on all the great things that have happened since he met Sonic and the others. It felt like they were a lot of fun to hang out with and he's looking forward to hanging out with them again and living with them.

Soon, he opened his eyes and looked back on all the trees and the sand in Hazel Island, knowing that he lived in the place very much that he will most likely miss everything there that was a lot of joy, fun and sometimes sorrow that occured in his early life. But, he soon realizes that he will make new memories on Mystic Ruins and that he will always come back to Hazel Island for a brief visit.

"So, taking a last look at this place?"

He looked behind and there was Knuckles and Sonic, standing behind them. He chuckled and said, "I'm sure gonna miss this place a lot."

"I see." Sonic said.

They both walked over to him and Knuckles told him, "It will be amazing to have you with us. I'm pretty sure that it will be a great experience for us."

"You know, I had a lot of fun getting to know you guys and it really made me feel like part of a family, regarding that I am pretty much amazing." Blitz said.

"Hey, as long as we're together, everything's amazing." Sonic said.

"That's pretty much what I was going for."

Knuckles, Sonic and Blitz kept looking at the ocean and Sonic kinda wanted to ask him something. Then he asked, "So, why do you like coming out here?"

"Just to think and stuff. I do that a lot, when I need some space or to get away from everything."

"That's sort of what Knuckles do most of the time."

Knuckles glared at Sonic and asked, "What does that supposed to mean?"

"Well, you always sort of wander around in Angel Island by yourself, getting your so-called 'Knuckles space', which takes hours and hours and all you do is look at the water all day long."

"Not all day long. I just take my time and also keep a close eye on the Master Emerald."

Sonic chuckled and told him, "That's true. I did forget that part."

"So, are you and Rouge an item or what?" asked Blitz.

Knuckles scoffed and asked, "What kind of a question is that?"

"Does she complete you?"

"No. She's disturbing to be around with and she gets on my nerves constantly."

"Well, actually, you get on her nerves as well." Sonic replied.

"I do not get on her nerves! She's the one that always starts it!"

"And then it always turns into a fight."

"For your information, Sonic....first of all, we both get on each other's nerves, secondly, there is nothing going on between me and her and lastly, I wouldn't call it fighting. More like disagreements and arguments and stating my opinions."

"And then you end up messing each other up." Blitz said.

"Who asked you?!"

"Hey, don't blame me. It was just a suggestion."

"Well, either way."

"SONIC!!!!!"

Then, Sonic turned around and saw Amy with her punk-rock jeans and an 'I heart Sonic' t-shirt, getting her eyes in him. Sonic looked disturbed and thought, 'Oh no. Will this never end?'

"Hey, Sonic. I've got the 'hearts' for you." Amy said.

Knuckles and Blitz looked at each other and Blitz asked, "What is her problem?"

"She's always like this. When she thinks, sees and/or falls for Sonic, she cannot put the brakes on her mouth. She's totally compulsively obsessed with him, like nobody can have him but her."

"How does he cope with it?"

"He deals with it...almost."

"So, basically you're saying she's a bit of a love-cuckoo?"

"She's love-drunk with no hangover."

"Who you calling love-drunk, sucker?!" Amy shouted.

"Look at you. Wearing an 'I Heart Sonic' T-shirt. What's up with that?"

"It'll make Sonic impressed."

Sonic chuckled nervously and started scratching his head and told her, "I don't think it impressed me that much."

"Why?!"

"Well, how do I put this--it kinda.... I would kindly say that it's distracting for me."

"How distracting?"

"For me."

"So, you're saying you don't like the shirt?!"

Sonic didn't know what to say and then, Amy shouted, "WELL?!"

Then, he blurted out, "Not really."

Amy galred at him and said, "You know, one of these days, you will have me, Sonic the Hedgehog. ONE DAY!!!"

Then, she storms off really steamed, leaving Blitz, Sonic and Knuckles totally confused. Blitz didn't know what to make of it and asked, "What was that about?"

"I really don't know. But, I think she seemed kinda upset about it."

"Think she'll get over it?" asked Knuckles.

"Who knows?"

Hours later, Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Tails, Rouge, Cream, Cheese, Blitz, Noah, Danny and Mark were in the beach with the other residents of Hazel Island, each saying their goodbyes to Blitz and the others. Oscar and Sharon looked at Blitz and gave him a hug. Blitz embraced it as well, knowing that he's been taken care of for several years.

"We're gonna miss you, Blitz." Sharon said.

"I'll miss you guys too."

"And thank you for saving us...again." Oscar said.

"No problem. I'd do anything for you."

"We really wish you didn't go."

"So do I."

Then, they all looked at Sonic and Oscar told him, "Keep him in good hands, please."

"Don't worry. I will."

Then, Oscar turned to Tails, who seemed like a second brother to him. He told him, "I heard that you've been a good friend to him. I've only known you for a day, but it feels like eternity at least. Keep the friendship alive."

Tails smiled and nodded his head, and told him, "I promise."

Then, the others turned their attention to Sonic and they all told him, "Thank you for saving our island. We are truly grateful to have you here."

Sonic chuckled and gave them a thumbs-up and a wink and told them, "You're welcome."

"It's the least we could do." Knuckles said.

Blitz took one last look at the others and he waved goodbye to them and they waved goodbye to them back and said, "I'll miss all of you."

Then, he turned around and walked with them and they stopped in this spot near the ocean, where they got around on a circle, held hands and then, teleported themselves out of Hazel Island, leaving only a blue and red beam of light flying out of Hazel Island.

Most of the residents walked off with emotion and Sharon smiled and said, "Our little Blitz has grown up."

Then, she walked off, leaving Oscar standing there and whispered his final words to Blitz, "I am very proud of you, Blitz. Very proud of you."

Then, he walked away with the others and felt a strong connection with Blitz's spirit and then, his voice echoed, "Thanks, Oscar."

That was sweet! The final chapter of the fic is coming! Thank goodness!
