Chapter 40: "Finalie" Day 9 Station Square 4:56 P.M. Chaima and the others stood before Shalita seriously. "We'll have to use all our powers that a chao can produce to heal him." Shalita shook her head. "That could drain you of ALL your energy!" Chaima looked at Shalita. "If it'll heal Sonic, I'll take that risk!" Pucha, the fairy, stepped up. "I would too!" Rupicha the penguin walled up. "And me!" "So would I" Chahura the dragon said. "And me!" Rukicha the beetle said. "Me too!" Pitecha the jester girl said. "I'd do anything to save Sonic," Chalcon the hedgehog said. Shalita looked at the chao with tears in her eyes and nodded. "Okay." The chao gathered in a circle around Sonic and held their hands. They closed their eyes and concentrated. The ring started glowing brightly and their energy started pouring into Sonic. He too began to glow. After a few moments the light died away, and the chao had changed back to their orginal shape before they left Station Square. They waited for what seemed like an eternity, until Sonic's eyes fluttered open. "Hooray!!!!!" the others cheered. Everyone started hugging Sonic, glad he was okay. Suddenly the emeralds that Amy had jumped into Bane's hands. "Whoa! What happened?" Amy asked. "That emerald must be tied to him," Shalita said. "It is?" Bane asked. "Yeah. Only special people can keep the emeralds, as the emeralds are tied to both chao and the ones who can use it to help the chao." Shalita said. "But....I never raised a chao..." Bane said. "Now ya do!" Chalcon said, leaping at Bane. Bane caught him. "Whoa buddy!" he somewhat laughed. "If you suppose so!" "There you guys are!" a voice cried. Everyone looked up and saw Sierra and Chip running towards them. "Y'all okay?" "We're fine!" Aleena said. Suddenly the purple Chaos Emerald jumped into Sierra's hands. "Uh, what's that all about?" Sierra asked. "It means...we're partners!" Pitecha said, walking up to her. "Partners?! For what?" Sierra asked. The yellow emerald Tails hand jumped to Chip. "Whoa! Cooool!" Chip said. "Guess that's you and me," Rukicha said. "So....what does this mean?" Sonic asked. "Means something's up, and the chao have to do something," Shalita said. Everyone heard a gasping sound and looked down to find Justin pulling Kalita on shore. "Help me up, you idiot," Kalita gasped, trying to catch her breath. Her hair, which was blond, had washed away to reveal her white hair. As they looked up, they stared into the faces of the Sonic Adventurers. "Uh....sis...hiya..." Kalita half grinned in embarrassment. "Oh darn. I thought you would of drowned. Too bad," Shalita glared. "Amy?" "Allow me," Amy grinned wickedly, holding her Long Hammer. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Justin and Kalita screamed, running away so fast, they kicked up a smoke cloud from heat. The others looked at each other and laughed. Havin their arms over each other's shoulder, they walked away from the flooded ruins of Station Square. Day 10 Mystic Ruins 9:30 A.M. "It was a tearful time in Mystic Ruins. Everyone was parting ways to head home or do something else. "Sonic and Tails decided they wanted to take the Tonado 2 back to Robotropolis with them, and decided to fly it back themselves. "Shalita decided to take off with the chao to explore the world with them. She promised SOnic that she would someday return. "Bane needed time on his own to think. He was depressed that he was decieved by Kalita, and finally decided to hunt her and Justin down. "Manic, Sonia, Sir Charles, Bernadette, Sierra, Chip, Big and Froggy all decided to take the van back to Robotropolis. Big was curious about what Sierra did in the City. "Knux was reunited with the Station Square Freedom Fighters and after a long discussion, they decided to come with Knux back on the island with him. "Amy became the new Mayor of Station Square, and she appointed Pepper Johnson the head of the New Station Square Freedom Fighters. "I myself returned to my travels, keeping an eye on my children, and someday hoping that we will become the Council of Four once again, and stay together for good."
