Chapter Five: Day With the Gentlemen

Meanwhile, Sonic was with Tails, Knuckles and Shadow at a bowling alley. The four of them were having a friendly game of bowling.

"Ah, what a great day to spend the time with you guys!" Knuckles exclaimed happily.

"No kidding! Couldn't have picked a better day!" Sonic added.

"Yeah, I mean now that everyone's happy, that makes the day even better." Tails stated, as he throws the ball, knocking down seven pins.

"Nice shot, Tails! And yeah, now with Amy being awake, Sonic has no reason being angry any more." Shadow says.

"Anything Tails can do, I can do better! Big fucking deal!" Knuckles jokingly stated. He throws the ball, and knocks over eight pins.

"Well, one pin better. But you know what I mean!" Knuckles chuckled. Everyone laughed at him.

"Hmph! Knuckle-Head! Not better than this shot, bitch!" Shadow calls. He throws the ball, and knocks down nine pins, with the last one still shaking. But then it stops, and stays up.

"Oh, COME ON! That's fucking BULLSHIT!" Shadow snaps, but playfully. Everyone just laughs.

"Right Sonic, it's your turn!" Tails calls. Sonic smiles.

"Right, here we go!" Sonic yells. Then he throws the ball, and gets a strike.

"You've got to be shitting me!" Shadow said in shock.

"Eh?!" Knuckles says.

"Nice throw, Sonic! You win this one!" Tails congratulated. Sonic gave a thumbs up.

"Ah, it was nothing! It's just all in the arms and wrist." Sonic stated. Then they all sat on their seats, and had random conversations.

"So Sonic, how've you been feeling since Amy came back?" Knuckles asked.

"I've been more happy than I ever have been. It makes it easier now there's no danger, and my body no longer has chaos energy." Sonic replied.

"Very odd how Eggman is now retired from world domination." Shadow thought.

"Well, I think he finally understood in the end. I knew there was good in him somewhere." Tails stated.

"Not wrong there, Tails." Sonic stated.

"Still though, it's amazing how us four and the girls became close friends, all because of the incident with Amy. I think that brought us closer together somehow." Tails mentioned. Everyone nodded.

"Yeah, I'll admit. I liked you as a friend, Tails. But I never liked Sonic THAT much." Knuckles admitted. Sonic was stunned.

"You never liked me?" Sonic thought.

"At first, yes. But now I see how caring you are, and seeing as Tails likes you so much, I like you now! And not even a hint of hatred crosses my mind." Knuckles chuckles, as he held his hand up for a high-five.

"Yeah, Knuckles!" Sonic exclaimed, as he high-fives Knuckles.

"And I never like any of you, when I met you three. But I did respect you all for your abilities. But now I remember my past, and thanks to Rouge's care and love, I now see you three guys as my best friends now!" Shadow exclaimed. Everyone cheers, and exchanges high-fives to one another.

"So anyway, Sonic? You mentioned that you've killed Scourge?" Shadow started.

"Yes. Why?" Sonic curiously asked.

"What actually happened? How did you kill him?" Shadow asked.

"Well, it was gruesome. But it happened like this..." Sonic started.

(Flashback)

Scourge took the gun out from his pocket again, and aimed it towards Sonic.

"You're history, Sonic! And this time, I won't miss!" Scourge said aggressively, and then he pulled the trigger. It hit Sonic, but it never hurt him. The black aura acted like a defence shield to protect him. Sonic turned to face Scourge, with so much rage.

"You just will never learn, will you?!" Sonic said, angrily. He then quickly changed into his Super Dark form, and walked towards Scourge. Amy was worried at this moment.

"Sonic?!" Amy called out, but Sonic never heard her. He was too angry with Scourge to notice.

Scourge pointed the gun at Sonic, but Sonic snatched the gun off Scourge. Scourge then held one hand up, to once again show that he surrenders, as he couldn't put both arms up with one broken.

"No, Sonic! You wouldn't!" Scourge pleaded. But Sonic cocked the gun, and aimed it at Scourge's forehead.

"You really think I would let you do that to me, or let you hurt Amy, again? Think again! Now, BURN IN HELL, MOTHER-FUCKER!" Sonic yelled.

"Sonic, NO!" Amy yelled. But Sonic then pulled the trigger and the bullet penetrated Scourge's head. Lots of blood splurged out of Scourge's head. And then after that, Scourge's lifeless body fell off the cliff, into the unknown.

(End of Flashback)

"And, that's how it happened." Sonic finishes. Everyone was in shock.

"You shot Scourge, Sonic?" Knuckles asked. Sonic nodded.

"And with the exact same gun he used to shoot Amy." Sonic answered.

"Well, at least there's nothing to worry about now. Scourge won't harm anyone any more." Tails said.

"But what about your dark form, Sonic?" Shadow asked. Sonic smiles.

"Don't worry, Shadow. My dark form will never be seen again. That unusual transformation erased the entire chaos energy within me." Sonic replied. Knuckles gasped in shock.

"So the legend is true after all! Love does over power anything!" Knuckles exclaimed. Everyone looked at Knuckles.

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked, in confusion.

"That super form you had that night. Pearl white fur, sapphire blue eyes. That happened because of your love for Amy. Knowing you still had this evil energy, the power of your love for each other helped fight the evil energy away." Knuckles explains.

"But how do you know about this, Knuckles?" Tails asked.

"I've heard a story many years ago, where this same transformation happened." Knuckles replied. Everyone smiles.

"Well, that explains it." Shadow stated.

"So, does this mean no more Super Dark Sonic?" Asked Tails. Sonic smiles.

"Yes. And I wouldn't have it any other way." Sonic replied.

After that, they all enjoyed the rest of their day together.
