Hey I just watched the final boss battle of Sonic Forces and I was thinking what it would be like if Sonic ending up dying because of his wounds shortly after the final fight. The world is taken back, Eggman is defeated and eveything would be the same accept Sonic wouldn't be there afterwards. Could you write a lil fic about this maybe?

Prompt:

After the final blow to the boss, the world started to fade back into reality,… all but for Modern Sonic.

Little Sonic and his Partner charged on, before looking back to see Modern Sonic, clutching his side.

"Heh," he faked a smile through a half closed eye, "Go on. They're all waiting for you. I'll catch up." He breathed the last part out lightly.

Without seeing anything truly wrong, as Sonic waved them on, "Go, go! The portal's closing!"

The two dashed forward with a homing attack and a jump, shooting forth a grapplehook and darting out.

Sonic felt his feet slowing down… the illusion overtaking him.

"…Be what I know you can be… partner…" his eyes drooped even more, his body finally falling to his knees as the phantom ruby's world crumbled… into nothing but light.

Upon exiting the null space world of the Phantom Ruby, the team celebrated for a moment until Tails and the Recruit looked back, waiting for Sonic…

But… there wasn't anything…

The Recruit's mouth dropped, turning fully around and lurching forward, his eyes unable to believe what his mind was suggesting…

"Where's… Where's our Sonic?" Tails looked to the Recruit, before back to Classic Sonic. "Didn't he exit with you?"

"He…" the Recruit took a big gulp, "The Death Egg Robot… it's lasers… but I thought rings could heal anything?" He looked to Classic Sonic. "Didn't he say he would catch up?"

Classic Sonic looked down, thinking about it…

He shook his head, unsure what to believe.

"I-I'm sure he's coming!" Amy stepped forward out of the crowd, "After all, he always was one to surprise us with a flashy entrance!"

The people around her nodded as she encouraged them to not lose hope.

Suddenly, the phantom space circled lights around the bottom of the platform Eggman had created, and where they recently had fought on.

"Look!" Someone called, as Knuckles's head rose up, having a moment to feel the returning grief that had once plagued him beforehand.

He dashed forward to the edge, "Sonic!" He called, overjoyed…

But Sonic was laying on his stomach… he wasn't moving.

"Sonic!" Tails flew over the edge, flying down to him.

So did the recruit.

So did Classic Sonic.

Rouge and a few others flew down to help when they didn't return back to them.

Knuckles… suddenly realized why.

He looked to Amy, before looking away and holding out a hand to her, about-facing to do so.

"W-what are you doing?" Amy felt him lightly pushing her back from the edge, turning his head away as he tried to not show his glossy eyes.

"Alright everyone… fall back." His voice almost cracked in sorrow.

Amy's eyes suddenly swelled up wide, tears threatening as she tried to fight against his force. "NOO! I don't believe you! Sonic!" she fought him but he kept his arm like a stiff pole, unyielding in her cries to see the man she loved… and had already lost once.

Her cries rang out to the forces, who looked to each other, murmuring.

"Is… Is he gone?"

"He can't be gone… we've won!"

"No… Not Sonic…"

Sonic was given a tall standing memorial as people mourned,.. The war won, they just needed to clean up the mess Eggman left.

Almost in respects, Eggman wasn't heard of since.

The recruit looked up to the statured monument, as Classic Sonic had returned home, hoping to change fate as he grew up, and not end up the same.

Tails approached the statue with a heavy heart, taking a deep breath before approaching him.

"…He really wasn't all that showy." Tails joked, tilting his head at the pose the statue had him in.

The Recruit smiled, his eyes still drooped back in admiration for his hero, before chuckling a minute and looking to Tails. "Yes, he was."

"You're right. But would he want people to remember him like that?" Tails smiled back to him, as the Recruit and him chuckled again.

"Probably."

"Yeah, probably."

They stared at the ground for a moment, as the recruit sniffed and wiped his nose, looking away.

"…So, uh… what are you planning to do now?" Tails looked up with sincere concern in his eyes for his friend.

"…Think I might run off on my own, actually." He looked back up at the statue. "He left a legacy behind him…"

"One that needs proper shoes to fit." Tails looked down at the recruit's shoes, the spitting image of Sonic's.

The recruit blushed, "Limited edition." He looked away, rubbing the back of his head in shy embarrassment. "I was kinda a fan."

"Kinda?" Tails threw an arm around him, shaking his shoulder. "I'd say you were a friend."

"Yeah… you think so?" He looked back at Tails, worried.

"Of course! Sonic praised you ever chance he got!" Tails removed the arm, "Kinda got me a little jealous…"

"Liar, he couldn't shut up about you."

"I guess we all had crushes on him."

The two men turned to see Amy Rose, standing as a pillar of strength, walking up to the statue with flowers.

"I'm obviously joking." She gave them a playful look before placing the flowers down, laying on her knees as she looked up at the statue, and tilted her head. "…Makes you wonder if he wanted people to remember him this way."

"…The statue does make him look rather… cocky, huh?" Tails once again brought, and the three shared a light chuckle again.

"…I just can't believe he's really gone." She lightly touched the stone. "…Little Sonic said… he'd do everything in his power to prevent this future from happening… wouldn't that mean… that everything would have changed by now?" she looked worriedly up to Tails.

He shrugged, "I don't know, Amy. Timelines are kinda a tough matter to pinpoint with exactness." He admitted. "We know the existence of dimensions. We just hope Little Sonic's future is more… well…" he scratched the back of his head, before the Recruit shook his own.

"No." He looked to Sonic's statue. "I think he had a pretty extraordinary life in this time… in this world… no matter what happens, he was just glad he lived and knew all of us."

The two of them smiled up to the recruit.

"You sound just like him." Amy blushed and looked away.

"Yeah… makes a guy wonder."

The three turned to see Knuckles striding up, smiling with a light wave. "Hi."

The three nodded in return.

Knuckles fist pumped the recruit, "Looking well."

"Well enough." The recruit kindly replied, "We've been working hard on the south and northern sections, but the east and west need strengthening."

"Woah, woah. Hold your horses, kiddo. I'm not here on business." Knuckles waved out his hand, looking to the statue. "I've come to pay my respects." He bowed his head a bit to the statue, before folding his arms and looking back to him.

"However… I was wondering… as Sonic's prodigy… you may still have a long life of hero'ing ahead of ya."

This talk suddenly drew the ears of Amy and Tails, as Amy rose up from her offering.

"You mean…" The recruit looked a little stunned.

Knuckles sighed, his eyes growing kinder to him. "Look… No one can replace all that Sonic is… and was in our hearts but…" he looked to the statue. "People still need hope… they need someone to turn to and believe in. They need a hero." He nodded, "I know Sonic wanted this. I can feel it. We all knew him well enough to know he'd want you and Tails to take his place if ever something were to happen." He looked back to see Tails grow startled, stepping back.

"M…Me?" His eyes began to water, leaning forward and placing a hand on his chest. "You think Sonic would want me to work with him too?"

"Of course! Come on, Tails! You were his righthand man! It's only natural that Sonic would want you to watch over his successor." Knuckles gestured happily to the recruit, who was still flabbergasted by this request, but was tackled immediately by Amy.

"Oh! I have that same feeling too!"

He looked down with a nervous blush as Amy wrapped her arms around his neck. "I just know he'll make a great hero, someday!" she beamed, as his muzzle grew red and he could only chuckle awkwardly.

"Eh…heh…"

"Yeah, that settles it!" Tails also jumped up to fly in the air a moment, raising his fist high. "I can feel it in my gut too! This is Sonic's last wish! Are you up for it? Partner?" He extended his hand.

Amy moved away, allowing him to reach up… hesitantly… before taking it with a nod of certainty.

"I will do my best." He narrowed his eyes a bit. "To continue all he lived for. And… hopefully, make the world a better place to be in."

The three nodded, before Amy turned to kiss her hand, and send the kiss up to the statue.

"No matter what… I know he's proud of us."

The three stared long and hard at his smirking face.

"…Yeah… When all we've got left is hope… a real hero never fails us."

The three looked to the recruit, eyes beaming with pride for a happier future, a sense of duty to fulfill, and an absolute love for his true inspiration…

"Hey, don't be scared! This is your moment to shine!"

The recruit closed his eyes… Tails… Amy… Knuckles… everything faded except Sonic's statue… his words ringing in the confides of his mind.

"Keep going. Don't let your fear own you!"

With eyes blaring to life as he shot them open, he did exactly as he did back when Infinite stood before him.

He clenched his fist.

Stepped forward.

And fist-bumped the imaginary image of Sonic standing before him.

"You got this, buddy." Sonic nodded.

The recruit nodded, turning in firm resolution.

And thus… the new dimension of a brand new hero was born. With all the values Sonic left behind held tightly to his heart… he took friendship-

Tails smiled as he turned to him, both beside each other as Tails flew next to him as he ran along a grassy path.

Heart-

Amy was now with him, smashing up the remaining badniks and robotic goons Eggman left behind, still no one hearing anything from him. It was if Eggman didn't want to fight if it wasn't against Sonic… so he kept quiet, and no ever really heard too much about him after that, only that he still built robots for the forces to destroy at their leisure.

Amy beamed to the Recruit, offering a fist pump as he returned it, and nodded.

He pulled her close by her waist, surprising her a moment, but making her giggle as he shot out his grapplehook and took off with her holding tightly onto him.

And Soul-

The Recruit sat with Knuckles, who was in a large building that showed the interior was cut to reveal all the working passageways and stairs. This displayed the large organization that still kept the peace, still fought the long war, and were breeding heroes that joyfully followed the recruit's light of hope that radiated from him.

The two looked to each other, laughing hardly, before Knuckles patted him on the back and he flung a little forward, almost falling off the open platform, mimicking their first encounter before Knuckles pulled him back to stability.

Awkwardly, the recruit scratched the back of his head.

He looked forward, a silent gleam in his eye revealed the light of hope still alive, and Sonic looking back through his eyes.
