Epilogue
"What's going on here?" Amy wondered.
"How did this even happen?" Sonic thought.
"The Chaos Emeralds were supposed to be gone by now, weren't they?" Rouge asked.
"That's what usually happens." Shadow responded.
"The people are alive however." Cream stated.
"What was that all about? The Emeralds were still here, and that chant you did?" Tails asked.
"Well, let's go back to the castle on Angel Island, and I'll explain everything." Tikal responded.
"Home sounds good to me. You guys should spend the night with us. There's plenty of room." Knuckles stated.
Everyone agreed, and then Tikal raised up both hands, and magically teleported everyone back to the castle on Angel Island. Everyone was at the altar next to the Master Emerald.
"Now to answer the question, the Emeralds were still here, because it was used for negativity, then positivity. But it was our love towards one another that caused the Chaos Emeralds to stay where they were, so we can make one last request." Tikal explained.
"So because us guys have love towards our women, the Emeralds stayed put so Tikal could perform a chant to clean up all the chaos that's been caused since Sonic was possessed by the darkness inside him." Knuckles finished.
Tikal placed a hand on the Master Emerald, so she can show the same city where the event took place. Every building and every people were alive and well, and it continued on like nothing bad ever happened to them.
"But, if those people are alive, if they find me, they'll be after me, won't they? Because I wreaked havoc all over Mobius." Sonic sounded worried, but Tikal chuckles.
"Don't worry about that, Sonic. The chant caused those people to suffer a short term memory loss. So whatever happened before you attacked, they will not remember anything that happened." Tikal stated.
Sonic slowly walked towards Tikal, looked at her in the eyes, and then he gave her a warm hug in relief. Tikal returns the hug.
"Thank you for saving my life, Tikal." Sonic thanked, as a happy tear fell from his eye.
Everyone then huddled up in a group hug.
"It's great to have you back, Sonic!" everyone called out.
After they break the hug, Amy stretched and yawned.
"Well, it's getting late, everyone. I'm gonna go to bed." Amy stated.
But as she was about to walk to one of the spare rooms, Sonic grabbed a hold of Amy's hand. Amy gasped, and turned to face Sonic.
"You're the one who needs to be thanked. Without you always believing in me, I don't think I would ever fight away the darkness that took control of me. Your love for me is what really saved the world." Sonic smiles.
Everyone else smiled, because they know themselves that this was indeed true. Amy smiles back, and happy tears fell from her eyes.
"I'm just returning the favour. You've saved my life many times, so I wanted to save yours." Amy told him.
Sonic raised his wrist to show Amy the seashell bracelet she made for him. Amy gasped in surprise.
"Your lucky charm really did bring me good luck after all." Sonic stated.
Sonic and Amy then held one another's hands, and looked into one another's eyes. Shadow did the same thing to Rouge, Tails did the same thing to Cream, and Knuckles only held one hand, as his hand was also on Tikal's abs, feeling their baby kicking.

(Sonic singing)
I know that it's late, and I know you're weary
(Shadow singing)
I know you've got plans that will include me
(Tails singing)
Now here we are, we are not lonely
(Knuckles singing)
We've longed for shelter against all we can see
.
(Sonic singing)
We shouldn't worry, because no one will care, girl
Look at those stars now, that's so far away
.
Amy, Cream, Tikal and Rouge all looked outside towards the stars, and saw the stars into the shape of a love heart.
.
(Males singing)
We've got tonight
Don't need tomorrow
We've got tonight, babe
So why don't you stay?
.
"Well, there are happy endings after all." Cream stated.
"Always for me, when you're with me." Tails told her.
" I love you, Tails." Cream said.
"I love you too, Cream." Tails replied.
.
(Amy singing)
Deep inside my soul, I was so lonely
(Rouge singing)
All my dreams and hopes, have faded away
(Cream singing)
I need your love, just like my young self does
(Tikal singing)
And I have kept searching, until today
.
(Males singing)
Now here it is, girl
We have it all now
(Females singing)
Now here we are, babe
What will you say?
.
Tikal sheds happy tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong, Tikal?" Knuckles asked, as he wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I'm just happy that you're still alive, Knuckles. Because our baby will get to meet their daddy after all." Tikal replied. Knuckles smiles warmly.
"I'll always be alive to protect you, and our baby. For as long as I live, none of you will be in danger, I promise you that." Knuckles stated. Tikal smiles.
"I love you, Knuckles." Tikal told him.
"I love you too, Tikal."
.
(Everyone singing)
We've got tonight
Don't need tomorrow
We've got tonight, babe
So why don't we stay?
.
(Males singing)
I know that it's late, and I know you're weary
I know you've got plans that don't include me
(Females singing)
Yet here we are
(Everyone singing)
We are both lonely
Us two are lonely
.
"Things will be wonderful now, Shadow." Rouge told him.
"Although I am feeling a little tense." Shadow mentioned.
"Tense, are you? Well, how about I help you relieve some stress, once we get in the bedroom?" Rouge winks in a naughty manner. Shadow chuckles.
"I'm all for that." Shadow responded.
"But more importantly, I love you, Shadow." Rouge told him.
"And I love you, Rouge." Shadow replied.
.
(Males singing)
We've got tonight
(Females singing)
Won't need tomorrow
(Males singing)
Let's make this last
(Females singing)
We'll find a way
(Males singing)
Turn off the lights
(Females singing)
Please take my hand now
.
(Everyone singing)
We've got tonight, babe
So why don't we stay?
.
Sonic looks directly into Amy's eyes.
"Did I really save your life?" Amy asked.
"100% accurate. Because you've said it yourself." Sonic smiles.
"What was it I said again?" Amy wondered.
"The Darkness may have taken over my body, but not my mind, my soul, or my heart. And you were the key to my heart being released from the curse, you were the cure to everything that makes me." Sonic replied. Amy sheds happy tears in her eyes.
"I love you so much, Sonikku." Amy told him. Sonic also sheds happy tears.
"And I love you too, Ames." Sonic replied.
.
(Everyone singing)
We've got tonight, babe
So why don't we stay?
.
After that, the guys leaned their heads towards their women, and placed a loving passionate kiss on their lips. Once they break the kiss, they all went to their rooms, and went to sleep.
Now the only thing left on their minds is their happy future together, without darkness, or evil getting in the way. Together they are strong, and will always do what it takes to protect their people, or one another, for they are the Heroes of Mobius.
The End
