Epilogue: The End or the Beginning?

If Tails knew what happened, he didn't question any of them. Amy and Cream made up, and Sonic knew that there were a few days when Tails went traveling that the two girls would picnic near the little sapling.

All in all, Sonic felt that everything was going to be fine, and they just all had to adjust to what Knuckles called their "new normal."

That worked for four months.

There were hundreds maybe even thousands of these creatures attacking the human troops throughout the city. A sickly rust colored dust filled the air with a sour decay. He didn't know what they were but he knew deep within him they were evil.

Then he saw the leader taller than the others with a pair of curved horns, and three piercing sickly blood colored eyes. There was something both repulsive and compulsive about this being. It felt like the kind of evil that could spread like wildfire corrupting all it came in contact with. He looked up, and knew he beheld a being of such intense power that a part of you instantly wanted for some unknown reason to submit to it.

"Find the seven Chaos Emeralds and bring them to me as promised."

Sonic! SONIC! WAKE UP NOW!

Sonic bolted up in his bed, and tried desperately to control his heart beat and breathing. What the hell kind of dream…

Sonic! Cosmo's mind voice cut across his thoughts like a knife. Sonic, you have to go to the human world and save Shadow now!

Still half asleep Sonic tried to make sense of what Cosmo was saying. "Huh? What? Shadow?"

You have to go save him! Cosmo insisted again. Or else Black Doom will corrupt him, and turn him into a servant of darkness.

Sonic still wasn't sure how she knew, but he trusted Cosmo, and he knew one thing. If they didn't save Shadow, one of the most powerful beings in two worlds would become evil. "Okay Cosmo," he said still trying to catch his breath. "How do we do this?"
