Finally, it's the very last chapter of Sonic the Hedgehog: Test of Survival!

Anyway, before I start the story, I've got to do the disclaimer...again...

I DO NOT OWN SONIC, TAILS OR ROBOTNIK IN ANY WAY. THEY ARE ALL THE PROPERTY OF SEGA AND SONIC TEAM. I DON'T OWN ANYTHING. IF I DID I WOULD'VE TAKEN OVER THE WORLD BY NOW! BUT I DON'T OWN THEM AND I DON'T RULE THE WORLD...YET.

Later that night...

I lay on my back, staring at the pitch black sky, unable to get any sleep. I try to shut out memories of the incident at Knothole. I try to shut out the memories of the ghost town, Addlesey. I try to shut out the memories of watching my father and Tails' mother dying. I try to shut out my thoughts of Manic and Sonia. Are they alive? Where are they? I just don't know.

I roll onto my side, closing my eyes again. I've never felt so alone in my life. I only have Tails and whatever that thing following us is. No-one I can really talk to. What I wouldn't give for someone else to be alongside me right now...

Then I hear it. And feel it. The ground starts shaking, a loud clanking noise ringing in my ears. I scoop up Tails, and look around. And then I see it. It's in the distance, but I know what it is. It's the unmistakeable shape of the Octo-Bot. Terror wells up inside me. I try to sneak off, but it's too late. He's seen me. We stare at each other for a full five seconds before either one of us makes a move.

"So, you're the one who's been messing with my army!" Robotnik Roared. "I'll make you pay for what you've done!"

"Attack!" he shouts towards his robots. They charge towards me and I run for it. "HEY, WHAT THE-" Eggman bellows, unable to believe at the speeds I'm producing. "No Matter" he says, and somehow the Octo-Bot jumps. It only lands a few feet behind me. I keep on running, just constantly speeding up. The Octo-Bot tries again, but it just produces the same results.

"Fire Missile!" the Egg-Head screamed. The missile couldn't keep up with my running speeds and crashes into the ground behind me.

We kept on like this for about 10 minutes.

I narrowly avoid another Laser Blast by leaping over it. I hear Eggman crying out in frustration. He just can't believe that he's unable to land a single hit on me. "Grrr...I'll get you this time, Hedgehog!" he screams out. "Just you try it, Ro-Fart-Nik!" I shout back.

I've managed to find some confidence in myself at last.

Ro-Butt-Nik loads up another missile while I continue to run. "Fire!" he screams for like, the 40th time. I leap over some robots and the missile hits them instead. "What's the matter? Is it that you're so ashamed of your own creations that you're wiping them out?" I yell, a smirk on my face. I notice yet more robots ahead of me. Where do they just pop out from? Oh, who cares?

I spindash my through them as though they are just pieces of fluff in my way. I've spent a deal of the past training for this moment as I knew that our luck was going to run out eventually. And what do you know? This is no way near as hard as I thought it would be.

I'm pushing my feet (and the rest of my body) to the limit, then I skid to a stop Damn. I've into a canyon. A dead end. Nowhere else to run. I turn around. I'm totally surrounded by robots, and Eggman lets out his laugh. "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Did you really think that you could outrun me forever?" he laughed again as my new-found confidence vanished instantly on the spot.

I closed my eyes, truly believing that this is the end. Then it came. A loud crash, and he sounds of robots being torn into pieces. I opened my eyes. Apart from the Octo-Bot, all of the robots are now just scrap metal. Eggman looks around, unable to believe what just took place.

I see my chance. And I take it.

I leap up into the air and perform a devastating spin attack right at the cockpit of the Octo-Bot. By the time Eggman sees me, it's too late. The attack goes right through the hideous creation. There's a loud explosion behind me. I look down into my arms, but Tails is miraculously unhurt.

I see Eggman fleeing in his mini hovercraft. "I'll get you for this, Spine-Ball!" he screams. "Hah! I'll take you on anytime, anywhere." I shout back.

I look out into the open, thinking about the thing that's been following us. The thing that just saved both of our lives. Two words raise themselves to my lips.

"Thank you"

I then take off into the distance, knowing that there definitely is hope for planet Mobius.

Yes, it's over. But! Remember that I said that another Sonic Fan-Fic is in the works? Well, Prepare yourself for Ninpuu Sentai: Sonicanger!
