Alternate Ending: Sonic's Return
The Count lay weakened and had been defeated. Dracula smirked as he approached the fallen Mephiles. He grabbed the Count's throat and pulled him upright. "So, the mighty Vlad the Impalar falls. Now, you shall become one with me, and I shall rule forever."
Mephiles' eyes widened as a dark aura emitted from Dracula. Dracula smirked and began to absorb him, but as he did, he forgot about Tails and the others, loosing his hold on their minds. Silver looked up and gasped, then transformed into a wolf and pounced on Mephiles, tearing his throat out. Dracula roared in anger and attempted to control him and the others once again. As he did however, a sharp pain struck him, causing him to collapse to the ground clutching his head. He groaned in pain. His fur changed back to blue and his eyes turned green. Dracula stood up and gasped, then looked around. He felt his fangs and knew he was still a vampire.
"Tails?" He asked, looking around at the other vampires. "What...what happened?" Tails gasped, then began to cry as he threw himself forward into Sonic's arms. "Hey, buddy. How are you?"
Tails said nothing, just continued to sob. Suddenly, Sonic grabbed his head and transformed into Shadow.
Shadow was smiling as he hugged Tails. "The Sonic we know is back, Tails. He's back..." Tails just sobbed quietly, not even noticing that Shadow had taken Sonic's place. Shadow looked over Tails' head and nodded to Silver. "Thank you, Silver, you did what I couldn't, you saved Sonic."
Silver nodded. "You're welcome, Shads. You're still Sonic's split personality forever, then?"
Shadow smiled and nodded back. "Apparently. Now I'm going to talk to Sonic." He closed his eyes, communicating with Sonic telepathically. So Faker, welcome back.
Glad to be back, Shads, Sonic said telepathically. Looks like you're my split personality. So, what are we going to do now? We're still vampires, even though Mephiles is dead.
Shadow thought about it. Perhaps they could live in this time, the 1800s. Why don't we remain in this time? We could protect the humans in this and other villages from other evil vampires.
Sonic thought about it. That would be nice. Since we're immortal, we'd end up in modern times eventually.
Shadow smiled. Then that is what we'll do.
He transformed back into Sonic, who looked at the other vampires. "We will continue to live in this time," he said. "And we shall protect humanity from evil vampires. However, we will still kill some humans to feed."
Tails had let go of Sonic by now, and was smiling. "Alright Sonic."
Now Blaze approached Sonic. She smiled. "You will be even more pleased to hear that you will be a father in a few weeks."
Sonic gasped, and then kissed her lovingly. "I am?"
"Yes, you are."
Sonic smiled even more. "I can't wait, when will you give birth?"
"A few weeks from now," she said. "The baby will be an immortal vampire too."
Sonic smiled. "That's to be expected."
Blaze smiled. She leaned her head on Sonic's shoulder and kissed him. Sonic smiled and kissed her back, knowing that he was excited to be a father.
A few weeks passed, and Blaze was in the process of giving birth. Sonic was pacing outside the bedchamber, the screams of pain coming from within agitating him. A few minutes later, they stopped and Sonic walked in. Blaze was holding a baby boy.
"He looks amazing," Sonic said. "Have you come up with a name?"
Blaze nodded. "Yes, Aoi Kaze. It means 'Blue Wind' in Japanese." Blaze smiled and tickled their son's nose, causing him to giggle happily. "He takes after you in fur color, so it seems fitting."
Sonic smiled and nodded. "That is a good name," he said, holding his son and looking at him. Aoi Kaze looked at his father, giggling and showing his fangs. Blaze and Sonic both smiled.
"Welcome to the world, Aoi." Blaze purred. Sonic tickled his son's stomach, making him giggle again, albeit harder this time.
The other vampire looked at Blaze. "This will be wonderful. We have a son, and all the vampires here are going to be with us for eternity. Not to mention that we're going to stay in this time and help protect people from evil vamps."
Blaze smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Yes, this will be wonderful."
Sonic nodded. He finally was good again, and from now on, he and the other vampires would stay in the 1800s, protecting mankind from evil for all eternity. They would watch over mankind throughout time, guarding it from evil. This was Sonic's life now. He smiled, looking at his wife and son. Sonic was happy to be a vampire, even if it meant drinking the blood of others to stay alive, and his friends were as well. This castle and land was their home, and would be forever.
