Chapter Seventeen: What Have I Done?
Sonic looked at the city and saw blood, and destroyed cars and buildings. There were loads of dead bodies laying on the ground too. Sonic collapsed to his knees.
"What have I done?" Sonic stated.
His eyes were flowing with tears. The gang were gathered behind him, and looked onwards. Amy walked closer to him.
"Sonic, it wasn't your fault." Amy tried placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I've killed these people, Amy! I couldn't control my dark side soon enough! And now it's too late for me to save anyone!" Sonic sobbed.
"Sonic, it was an accident! You had no control over what you were doing. Don't beat yourself up about it." Cream told him.
"Exactly, Sonic. We know you would never do this. We're not holding any grudges against you." Tails added.
"Scourge is gone now, Sonic." Shadow mentioned.
"He won't trouble us ever again." Rouge stated.
"We'll make everything alright." Knuckles said.
"We promise." Tikal smiled.
Sonic still with tears in his eyes.
"Why was I ever the hero of Mobius? I've failed my mission in life. I was supposed to protect these people, and I've murdered half of the public." Sonic sobbed.
He stood up, and walked towards the gas station.
"Sonic?" Amy called out.
But Sonic didn't respond. He then fell to his knees again, and cried uncontrollably.
"Why did I let this happen?! I'm meant to save them, now I'm a murderer! And I'm most likely going to put you lot in danger, if this ever happens again! I wished I turned a different corner as a kid, then I would never of met any of you, and put you in danger like this, and our history. I can't live with myself, knowing I've destroyed the lives of the people who look up to me!" Sonic cried uncontrollably still.
Everyone watching also shed sad tears.
"Poor Sonic." Cream mentioned.
"I'd hate to be in his shoes right now." Tails responded.
"Baby-Blue loved his people dearly." Rouge stated.
"He was loyal to them all." Shadow said.
"Even if it was not his fault, I can't even imagine how tough this is for him." Amy sadly said.
Sonic looked up at the stars, tears filling his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Uncle Chuck. I never meant for this to happen. You died when I was a child, and always told me to be strong, and protect others. But now look what I've become, and what I've done. How am I supposed to make you proud of me now? Send me a sign, Uncle Chuck! I can't do this without you!" Sonic cries uncontrollably.

(Sonic singing)
I said love is a magical thing
I said love would keep me from pain
And I've been there
And I've been there
I have promised her all of my life
Although to lose her it would cut like a knife
Now I won't dare
No, I won't dare
.
Because I never came close in all of my years
She is the only one who'll stop my tears
Now I am scared
I am scared
.
So, so scared
.
Bring me back in time
And then I could forget
I'll turn a different corner
Then we would've never met
Would she care?
Oh, I just do not get it
With her it's a breeze
Little by little
She brings me to my knees
Does she care?
.
Because I never came close in all of my years
She is the only one who'll stop my tears
Now I am scared of our love
.
But if all that there is
Is my fear of being used
I shall return to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear
.
Oh, oh, oh
I swear
.
Ooh ah ah ah ah
I swear
.
If I could, I would, I swear
.
Sonic then fell to all fours, and continued to cry uncontrollably. Amy couldn't bare to watch this any more, so she moved towards Sonic, knelt down next to him, lifted his head up, and wrapped her arms around his head warmly and lovingly. Sonic returned the embrace.
"Sonic, your Uncle Chuck would understand why this has happened. You haven't let him down, and you haven't let us down. What should matter now is not that you've unintentionally murdered these people, but that we're back together again. Your Uncle Chuck loves you, your friends love you, and I love you." Amy told him.
Sonic looked up at Amy with tears in his eyes. Amy used her thumb to wipe away the tears from Sonic's eyes.
"I love you too, Amy." Sonic replied.
After that, Sonic and Amy leaned their heads towards one another, and kissed each other on the lips passionately.
Suddenly, Knuckles and Tikal realized they have one trick left up their sleeves. They both closed their eyes, and held one another's hand.
"The servers are the seven Chaos Emeralds. Chaos is power. Power is enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos. Only you can do this, make all the bad events here that has happened be gone!" Tikal prayed.
The Chaos Emeralds then started to float, and everyone looked on to see what was happening. And even Sonic and Amy was looking onwards. They all gasped in surprise.
An aura came from the skies, and the magic within it was repairing the damaged buildings, and cars, and it even resurrected the deceased.
"What the hell?!" Sonic wondered.
