EPILOGUE: Angel Island:
A few hours later, Marine's spaceship finally landed on Angel Island. It was a beautiful, tropical landscape, complete with waterfalls, forestation, and a large mountain in the middle.
As the spaceship docked, everyone on board got off the spaceship and began to rest by the meadow of the island.
The last person to exit the spaceship was Void, he was excited to see SNT's world for the very first time.
Once Void arrived at the meadow where everyone was settling, he noticed Catney and Saki close by; and Vic lying down on a towel.
Surrounding them were the Axer Rangers who were giving the girls all the tools they needed to remove the bullet from Vic's leg and administer first aid.
As Courtney patched up Vic's leg with a bandage, Vic and the girls looked up to Void and smiled.
"Wow, looks like Vic will be resting comfortably under your care and hospitality, huh?" Void winked,
Catney nodded, "Yup. We're gonna take good care of him, and nurse him back to health before he can join you guys at the U.A.V."
"That's great to hear ladies. So… I'm guessing this is goodbye?" Void asked as his face suddenly shifted from happy to sad.
Courtney walked up to him and gave him a hug, "No Void… this isn't goodbye. It is only so long for now. Besides, I'm sure we'll see each other again soon. Right?"
"I really hope so too Courtney, I really hope so too." Void responded while hugging Catney back.
Once the hug was over, Void turned his attention to Saki.
"Saki… take good care of him… sock princess." Void smiled,
Saki smirked, "Ohh don't worry. I promise, if he does misbehave, I'll kick his a** for sure!"
Everyone giggled towards Saki's response.
The blue anti-virus then got down on one knee to have one last huddle with the girls.
"And ladies… Thank you for everything. I really do appreciate everything you have done for me and my fellow anti-viruses. And for that, I want to give you this." Void said as he handed over a USB key.
Courtney and Saki took the USB and looked closely at it, the USB stick read 'Void Ranger, A.I' written in cursive.
The girls were shocked to discover what he gave them.
"Are you giving us…!" Saki shouted.
"That's right ladies." Void interrupted. "Both of you now have a copy of my software, so if ever you need my help, I will always protect you." He then gave Courtney and Saki an emotional hug.
"Thank you, Void, we will never forget you." Saki smiled.
"Good luck to you… our new anti-virus." Catney chimed in.
When the hug was over, Void walked over to his old friends from elementary school.
He began to give each of them a handshake, followed by a hug.
"Axer Rangers, I want to thank you for staying by my side throughout this war. I appreciate your dedication, and I thank you all for your services."
"We're always happy to help Void, if you ever need anything from us, give us a call." Axer Blue responded.
He then pointed to his walkie talkie, prompting Void to contact them through his communicator.
"But of course." Void agreed. "I will definitely be needing your help in the near future."
"Don't worry Void, you can always count on us!" Axer White chimed in.
"Indeed. And remember, when the going gets tough, the tough gets rolling." Axer Crimson quoted.
"Billy Joel? Seriously?" Axer Lime looked at Axer Crimson unimpressed.
All of a sudden, Axer Magenta took a few steps back and ran into a nearby lake just behind Void.
"CANNONBALL!" Axer Magenta shouted as he jumped in the air and performed a cannonball in the water.
As the Axer Rangers followed Axer Magenta in the water, Anchor and Captain Cyber approached Void.
Surprisingly, not a single word was exchanged between the trio.
Cyber and Anchor simply stood in attention and gave the blue anti-virus a soldier salute.
Void nodded in agreement and followed suit with a soldier salute of his own.
"Congratulations mister Void, we are very proud of thee!" Cyber winked.
Void bowed before the pirates, "Thank you me hardies, I couldn't have done it without thee." Void winked back.
As Void continued to venture around Angel Island, Anchor walked over to his captain and whispered, "What a lucky b*****d!"
Eventually, Void came across Team 182 who were standing near a log cabin; gathering around SNT.
Maria Robotnik approached SNT and gave her a hug. "Well, SNT, I guess with everything that's been happening, we still haven't thanked you yet!"
SNT blushed, "No need to thank me! I'm thankful for all of you, more than anything you'll ever know."
"Personally. If it was me fighting Tarantula, I would have beaten him right on the spot. I'm too awesome to show weakness!" Never bragged.
Upon hearing those words, Order quickly ran up to Never and punched him in the face.
"Oww… err, I mean… but thanks for saving us anyways." Never groaned.
Subaru looked down at the black hedgehog and rolled her eyes, "Never… you're an idiot."
But all of a sudden, Nicole the cat approached Order and clenched her fists, "Oh hey! Are we picking on Never, Can I join!"
She then lifted her head and performed a tornado kick to Never's face.
"Nicole! NOOOO!" Maria cried while holding Nicole back, "Be nice to him!"
Nicole looked at Maria and swatted her hands away from her shoulder, "Hey! I'm just playing!"
The purple cat then turned her attention towards SNT, "Anyway, thanks for saving us SNT."
As SNT nodded, Shade the echidna quickly tapped the chimera's shoulder with her hand, noticing what was happening, Daniela walked up to SNT on the opposite side of her shoulder.
"Are your friends always like this?" Shade asked.
"Only when we're in a good mood!" Daniela reassured the echidna.
Suddenly, Order slowly began to approach the chimera. "SNT… I just wanted to say… Even though I was blinded by rage, you cleared my sight of the one truly at fault for Alicia and Cream. And for that, I thank you… SNT. I am in your debt."
The flaming chao then bowed before the chimera, SNT was surprised. The chao that tried to kill her earlier is now showing gratitude towards her.
"Umm… I don't know how I did that, but no problem… Order." SNT responded.
Marine the raccoon then jumped in between the flaming chao and the chimera excited,
"Oi, Entee! Don'tcha remember? When you flattened that six-legged machine, Tahantula? Speaking of, how are y'a?!"
SNT began to wonder, "Ta-hand-tu-lah? That sounds familiar…"
Realizing what had happened, Team 182 gathered around SNT; looking very concerned.
"SNT… you don't remember?" Daniela asked worryingly.
SNT tried to think once again, but couldn't remember everything at once. "Sorry… my memory is still a bit fuzzy."
Shade looked at SNT with a stern look on her face, "…That's concerning."
The chimera quickly placed her hand on Shade's shoulder and smiled nervously, "H-hey, I'm sure I'll remember eventually. Besides, look at me! I'm perfectly fine!" She yelled as she struck a pose to her friends.
But Order wasn't buying it, he walked over to SNT and grabbed her hand. "As one amnesiac to another, try not to worry about it too much. Trace your steps, and you'll uh, remember something… and stuff…"
"Really profound, 'God of salvation.'" Nicole snarked.
Order then turned his attention to Nicole and crossed his arms, "Bah! Alicia was always better at this type of thing than me."
SNT laughed, "You're fine Order. I think I get it. All of my memories, even the ones that I've forgotten are dear to me. Even if I can't remember, that doesn't mean they're gone forever, I just need to rediscover them."
"You got all of that from Order's mess up?" Nicole laughed while giving an elbow to Order's shoulder.
Suddenly, Maria got between the purple cat and flaming chao and lifted her arms to separate them. "Oh, come on. Why do you always have to pick a fight with someone?!"
"HEY! I'm only speaking the truth!" Nicole argued.
As SNT watched Order and Nicole bicker with each other, Shade walked up to SNT and placed her hand on the chimera's shoulder. "You know SNT… even though she's different. That Maria certainly reminds me of her, huh?"
SNT giggled, "Yeah… that takes me back."
"So SNT… Are you sure you want to do this? And leave them all behind?" Shade asked with a stern look on her face.
The chimera turned around and gave an emotional sigh, "Begrudgingly… yeah."
Upon hearing Shade and SNT's conversation, Team 182 was in shock.
"What?! You're leaving?!" Daniela yelled.
SNT bowed her head in sorrow, "Yeah… Shade and I are heading back to my home."
Subaru began to panic. "You're going back?! But what about the broadcast?!"
"Yeah, won't all of your friends hate you now? Knowing that you're some kind of… Eggman creation?" Never asked nervously.
"Even if they believe that robot or not, the truth is that SNT is not a bad person. I'm sure they'll know that." Shade reassured the chimera's friends.
"Yeah, and even if they don't! We'll help spread the truth about you, whether they like it, or not!" Daniela winked.
SNT smiled, "Heh, thanks guys!"
But Never was still confused, "Okay… but why is Shade coming with you? Last I checked, she isn't from your dimension."
SNT looked at Shade but had a hard time answering, "Oh… that's…"
"I'm gonna help her make things right… for everyone!" Shade interjected.
"Yeah, plus I kinda owe her this." The chimera agreed.
"Yes, yes you do." The echidna nodded.
Suddenly, just behind Team 182 was the blue anti-virus who was trying to approach SNT.
When Void finally arrived to reunite with her, he noticed that she wasn't happy to see him.
"SNT? What's wrong?" The blue anti-virus asked,
He then looked at Shade who was preparing a boat that was docked near the lake.
Realizing what was happening, the blue robot looked at SNT and began to burst into tears. "SNT… where are you going?! Are you leaving?!"
SNT bowed her head, "Unfortunately yes. There's something I gotta do back home."
Desperate, Void held her hands and got down on his knees. "Please, take me with you! I can help you!"
But SNT slid his hands away from hers, "I'm sorry Void… not this time."
Void slowly returned to his feet. "But SNT… will I ever see you again?!"
"Honestly… I don't know." SNT confessed.
Seeing as this was probably gonna be the last time he'll ever see the chimera; Void ran to her, grabbed her by the waist and kissed her.
Once the kiss was over, Void looked deep into the chimera's eyes, "SNT… I'm going to miss you."
"Yeah… I'm gonna miss you too." She whispered.
Void then reached into his pocket and pulled out a picture of their school photo together. It was the only memory he ever had of SNT.
"Here you go SNT. I want you to have this picture of us. It was our first picture we took together when we were studying at the U.A.V academy long ago."
The chimera looked down on it for a moment before Void could hold her hands once again,
"And please SNT. For the love of Vindock, please! Don't ever forget about me!"
Both the robot and the chimera couldn't hold back their tears, they gave each other an emotional hug.
"Goodbye SNT… you will always be special to me!" Void whispered in her ear.
The pair then shared one final kiss before SNT turned around and hopped on the boat.
The chimera then looked at the robot's direction and waved her hand, "Goodbye… my little anti-virus."
Shade then grabbed the ores and began to paddle the boat into the water.
Both Void and SNT looked at each other in sadness, as the boat continued sailing along the lake, far away from each other.
Once SNT was gone, Void got down on his knees and began to cry his heart out.
"SNT! NOOOOOOOOO!" The poor robot yelled.
As he bawled his eyes out on the ground, the U.A.V ministers slowly approached the boy,
"No need to worry about her mister Void. I'm sure she will return." Norton reassured Void while placing his hand over the robot's shoulder.
Void stopped crying and looked up at the ministers,
"You really think so?" Void asked, wiping his tears.
ClamWin then approached the blue anti-virus and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Trust me Void, if she meant for it to be goodbye… she would have refused the picture." ClamWin reassured him.
Void looked up to the ministers and smiled. They then gathered around for a group hug.
When the hug was over, Void and all the ministers began to watch the sun set in the distance. As the sun went down, Sophos turned his attention to the anti-virus and reassured him,
"Void ranger… I'm sure you'll see her again." Sophos smiled.
"I hope so too, minister… I truly hope so." Void sighed.
Suddenly, Sophos noticed a flaming chao approach the ministers. He smirked; just as ClamWin stepped forward; presenting them with the antidote to cure Alicia and Cream. Sophos reached for the bottle and handed it over to Order.
"And as for you mister Order, the antidote for the OneHalf virus. As promised."
Order reached out and grabbed the antidote from Sophos' hand and inspected it.
Sophos then placed his hand over the flaming chao's shoulder, "Go on mister Order, your friends are waiting for you."
"Errr, thank you, anti-virus… for everything." Order nodded, he then turned around and ran off into the forest to find the chao garden where Alicia and Cream were located.
As the ministers watched Order run off into the woods, Void slowly waked towards a nearby mountain and began to climb it.
"Hey Void, where are you going?!" McAfee shouted as the ministers watched Void climb the mountain.
When he finally reached the summit, he simply looked up into the horizon and smiled, "Someday SNT, we will meet again… I promise."
Meanwhile; minutes later, Order had finally made it to the Chao Garden.
He saw Alicia the porcupine and Cream the rabbit still unconscious from the OneHalf virus.
A group of chao slowly gathered around in a circle to observe what was happening.
Order took the bottle and opened it up.
He then slowly poured the antidote into Alicia's mouth first, followed by Cream.
Once Order administered the antidote, he took a couple of steps back and began to wait.
Surprisingly, it took a couple of minutes for both Alicia and Cream to finally regain their consciousness.
Once both Alicia and Cream opened their eyes and looked around to see the chao cheering for them.
Cream turned around and saw Order smiling.
"Cream!" He shouted, he ran to her and patted her head.
"Order?" Another voice nearby asked,
The god of salvation turned around and saw Alicia slowly approaching him, she placed her hands on his cheek and placed her forehead in front of his.
All of a sudden, Cream, Cheese and all the chaos in the chao garden gathered around to give Order a big hug.
"Urk... I…" Order tried to say something but couldn't.
Instead, he took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.
"Void… SNT… Thank you for everything." The god of salvation smiled.
And so, Order was finally home. In the company of his therapist Alicia the porcupine, his best friend Cream, and all the chao in the garden.
And on that day on, both the computer world and Angel Island were finally at peace.
THE END
