Epilogue: A Never-Ending Story: Part the First
Far out in space, the remains of the Black Comet scatter randomly throughout space. The threat of the Black Arms was ended, and the earth was safe once again. It seemed as though all was perfect, and that life would go back to normal. Little did anyone know that the Black Arms were only the begining,,,
One of the remaining pieces of the Black Comet, seemingly still active, started moving twoards the moon. The piece, seemingly having a mind of it's own, directed itself skillfuly twoards the middle of the portion of the moon that had been destroyed (See: Sonic Adventure 2) untill it finaly crashed into it. Dust and debris scattered all around from the impact, which concealed the comet peice temporarily.
As soon as the debris had cleared, large stone tentacles, simmilar to the ones that had connected the comet to the earth, burst from the comet and wrapped around it. The tentacled then solidified and made the piece larger. More tentacles then appeared from the newly enlarged chunck and repeated the process. This continued until the small chunk had finally grown to replace the entire missing section of the moon.
Inside of this newly-formed 'Black Moon,' parts of the very stone that made it up began to move around, creating corridors and large rooms. Each room then somehow began to spawn all kinds of Black Aliens from out of nowhere. Needless to say that it defied all logic to the point where it could be a plot hole (Just to let you know, it's not a plot hole. This will all be explained soon).
In a room down in the center of the moon, a certain alien leader watched the earth on a large hologram monitor. "Damn it all!" exclaimed a very pissed Black Doom. "I almost had it, I almost opened the gate! If it had not been for that traitor, Shadow, I would be ruling the planet next to the Master!" He was so mad that he shot a meteor at the hologram generator, destroying it.
"That's what you get for trying to do things your way." said a mysterious voice. Black Doom turned around to see a figure approach him. It was female, obviously an anthro due to her size, build and purple & black fur. She wore slightly-revealing black armor (not to the point where stuff was showing, but their was a lot more fur then armor showing), and her facial featured were hid behind the hood of a cloak that she wore.
"Black Rose, what are you doing here?" demanded Black Doom.
"I am here with a message from the Master," said the woman who's name has been revealed as Black Rose, "he is very displeased with you."
"Why is he displeased with me? I was only a few minutes away from reviving him..."
"...With only one tenth of his power."
"It would have still been more than enough for him to conquer this world!"
"But it wouldn't be enough for him to conquer others."
"What do you mean 'others'?"
"Let's just say that the Master cannot complete his goal unless he is revived with his full power."
"...Very well, I shall do things your way from now on."
"No, not my way, the Master's way."
"We may have some problems, seeing as how Shadow has discovered his Chaos Form."
"You mean the so-called 'Ultimate Life Form?' Bah! He is not our main worry, the guardian of the Master Emerald is.
"You mean that knuckle-headed red echidna? He doesn't seem so tough, merely a thorn in our side, one that can be very easily dealt with."
"Do not underestimate him. He can control the power of the Master Emerald, a feat that only a select few can do. I don't think that I need remind you of what can happen if he brings out it's true potential..."
Black Doom clenched his fist in anger. He knew she was right, and he hated it. She was nothing more than a filthy Impure, one who is not born of darkness and evil. He still remembered how she was taken under the Master's wing, because of the great power that she posessed, and how she rose up the ranks so fast that, in less than a century, her power and control both equaled and surpassed that of his own. He despised her so much, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Very well," He said, "but even though he is our main target, Shadow takes some priority because of the fact that he managed to defeat me so quickly, and that he was the first of this planet's heroes to reveal their Chaos Form."
"Agreed," Said Black Rose, "now let us head to the chamber so that we may plan."
And with that said, they both disappeared in a flash of Chaos Control, to go and plan for their future scheme.
Fic has passed Epilogue! New Story Unlocked: 'Knuckles Quest'
And with that, I conclude my adaptation of STH: Last Story. I want to thank everyone who reviewed this up to just before this chapter, in the order that they reviewed.
Thanks to: CSOmega (first reviewer), Devastation, Waggy99 (Though I wasn't sure if he was complimenting me or insulting me), Warrior of Virtue (Whom read and reviewed every chapter since I started this), CodeLyoko (Who beta-read chapter 4 for me), and Super J.
Special thanks to: CSOmega, Warrior of Virtue and CodeLyoko for the reasons stated above.
Now that this is done, I am going to start Knuckles Quest again. You may want to keep an eye on the first chapter, as I am going to edit it so that it will contain a fight scene, as well as modify it a bit to add some things that were left out that I needed to have in the first chapter.
Until next story, I say to you all; Later days!
