This is it. The final chapter of this story.
I won't keep you all waiting any longer. It's time to see how this story ends.
Chapter 30: Yet Another Happy Ending.
Sonic had just defeated Eggman Nega as Super Sonic, thanks to the help of most of the participants in the tournament. Using the Chaos Emeralds, Jet's crystal box, and the wish box, they weakened Nega's Grand Mecha to the point where Super Sonic could destroy it. Nega managed to open a portal back to his dimension before he could be killed, and he left while declaring that he would return.
The heroes returned to the coliseum, where Tails and Knuckles were watching over Amy's lifeless body. Sonic quickly ran up to them and crouched down near Amy's body.
"Amy, please come back. Please." Sonic pleaded, even though he knew it was no use. Galeon looked at the wish box, then he remembered what he was going to do. He walked up to Sonic.
"Sonic, I want you to make the wish." Galeon said.
Sonic was surprised at this.
"But you won. You deserve the wish." Sonic began to decline, but Galeon cut him off.
"Listen. A lot of people believe that there's nothing better than the life of a loved one. Most of us believe that. And if this wish box can revive Amy, I think you should be the one to do so." Galeon explained.
Sonic couldn't believe it. Galeon was giving up his wish so that Amy could return to the world of the living. He took the wish box and looked at Amy.
"I…wish to revive Amy." Sonic said to the wish box.
Council of Death's chamber, the gateway to heaven and hell…
The five members of the Council of Death were watching everything through a large spherical monitor. Amy looked on as well.
"Are they really going to revive me?" Amy asked.
"I would think so." Anubis, the Egyptian god of death, replied. "And who better to revive you than your own love."
"Anubis is right. You should be one lucky girl." The Japanese god of death, Yama, told her.
"I know. Thanks for allowing me to support Sonic during his battle." Amy told the Devil, the leader of the five.
"It was our pleasure. After all, we can't just stand by and allow a hero to be killed if someone here can give that hero encouragement." The Devil said.
At that point, a bright light surrounded Amy.
"They're doing it. Good bye." Amy told them.
"Live life to the fullest." Hades, the Greek god of death, told her.
Amy nodded as she disappeared, passing through the gateway from the chamber to the world.
"You know, I see great potential in that girl." Someone said. It was the Grim Reaper.
"So, you finally return?" Anubis asked.
"Yeah. Eggman Nega was not killed, just sent back to his dimension." The Grim Reaper replied.
"He'll die eventually. Then he'll pay for all of the evil he's done." The Devil said.
At the coliseum…
A light glowed around Amy's body as the emeralds supplied power to the wish box. When the light faded, Amy was standing upright as if she had never died. She quickly hugged Sonic.
"Sonic, thank you." Amy said.
Everyone in the coliseum cheered at the revival. Rector walked over to Sonic and Amy.
"Amy, do me a favor and don't ever do that again." Rector told her, but not in the way he would have talked to Sonic.
"I won't, Rector." Amy told him.
Amy then gave Rector a brother/sister hug, which Rector returned. After they broke, Rector backed away. Sonic turned to Amy.
"Amy, there's something I want to ask you."
"What is it, Sonic?" Amy asked.
"Amy, we've been through a lot together. I realized that we never would have gotten through it if we weren't there for each other." Sonic said. Amy didn't notice Sonic pulling out something from behind his back. Nor did she notice Sonic getting down on one knee. "Will you…marry me?"
That one question took Amy by shock. Sonic had actually proposed to her, the one thing she thought he would never do. Amy would have said yes right then and there, but she remembered Rector. Would he accept? She looked at her older brother, waiting for the obvious 'no' reply.
Rector just smiled and nodded. Smiling, she turned to Sonic.
"Yes. I will." Amy said as she kissed Sonic.
The whole crowd at the coliseum raised a louder cheer than before. A lot of the racers couldn't believe it. Not at Sonic proposing to Amy, but the fact that Rector had actually allowed such a thing.
"Wait a minute. You allowed this, Rector?" Armand asked.
"Yeah. Sonic asked me if he could ask Amy to marry him. At first, I said no, but then I remembered that it was Amy's dream, and I didn't want Amy's dream to be crushed, so I allowed it." Rector explained.
It was time for the award ceremony for the tournament.
"And now, let's hand out the trophies and medals. Medals go to the four racers that tried their hardest in the competition, and the trophies go to the top three. The medals will go to, from 7th to 4th, Armand, Emily, Mintra, and Rector." Gerald announced.
Damien handed out the medals to the four racers that had just been called. Then he picked up the bronze trophy.
"The bronze trophy, for third place, goes to Amy Rose."
Damien picked up the bronze trophy and handed it to Amy. She was happy. Not only did she win a trophy; she also was engaged to Sonic.
"The silver trophy, for finishing in second, will go to Jet the Hawk."
Damien handed the silver trophy to Jet, who accepted it, much to the surprise of Sonic. Jet usually wouldn't settle for anything but first place. Jet had told Sonic that as long as there are future tournaments, he didn't care. He also told Sonic that if he (Jet) won, he wouldn't have anything to look forward to in the next one.
"And the gold trophy, for surpassing the competition and winning the final race, goes to Galeon the Blue Jay."
Damien handed the gold trophy to Galeon, who held it up in the air with pride as everyone cheered. Galeon, Jet, and Amy jumped down from the podium and rejoined their friends.
About 1 hour later…
It was time for everyone to go their separate ways.
"Do you guys really have to go?" Jet asked Galeon.
"Yeah. Besides, we're not ones to hang around long. We just came because we had heard about this tournament." Galeon explained.
"Alright." Jet said, then turned to Cloud. "You be careful out there, Cloud."
"I will. I also have Shaun and Angie to help me." Cloud replied.
Team Music then left, along with Rampage and Nightscream, but Galeon stayed a bit longer.
"Hey, before I go, I want to say something." Galeon said to Jet.
"What is it?"
"Good luck with Wave."
Jet nodded, then Galeon caught up to the rest of Team Dynamic.
"Hey, guys, wait up!" Galeon called as he followed them.
Teams Velocity and Star were about to leave.
"Emily, are you really staying?" Alan asked.
"Yes. But don't worry, we'll see each other again." Emily told her friends.
"Good luck to you and Armand." Vash said.
"Thanks."
Vash and Alan then left, leaving Team Velocity with Team Berserker.
"You guys put up a good race." Velocity said.
"Thanks. Sorry your team didn't make it to the main tournament." Basil replied.
Velocity just smiled. Knuckles, over to the side, noticed.
"I guess we better be leaving." Inertia told her friends.
"Right. We'll see you all later."
Velocity and her team left on their boards. Basil just looked at Velocity as she left. There was something about the way she smiled that just…reached out to him. Knuckles noticed, however.
"I think Basil may have a crush on Velocity." Knuckles started.
"What? I…I do not." Basil protested while blushing a little.
"Sensors indicate Basil's temperature is rising. Are you okay, Basil?" Omega asked.
Armand walked over to them, seeing what was going on. He had turned his attention away for a few seconds.
"Alright, knock it off. Basil, don't worry. If you like her, that's okay. I was the same way with Emily." Armand told his friend.
"Thanks, buddy."
Sonic called everyone over.
"So, what do we do now?" Sonic asked.
"I guess we return to Station Square." Tails replied.
"Hold on, guys." Someone said from behind them. It was Alexander.
"I want to apologize for everything Eggman Nega did while posing as me. He had knocked me out and scanned my body to create that body he used. I really was planning on entering, but I had no idea it would turn out this way." Alexander said to everyone who was around.
"Hey, it's okay. It's not your fault." Raine told him.
"Just keep your guard up next time." Storm said.
"I will." Alexander said, then he, Domino, and Charlie left on their boards.
"Storm gave someone advice? That's new." Knuckles said.
"You want to go at it, red mutt?" Storm challenged.
"Did you say RED MUTT!?"
Knuckles and Storm were about to go at it, when Sonic and Jet intervened.
"We don't need a fight at a time like this." Jet told them both.
"And you two need to control your anger." Sonic added.
Both of them calmed down, but it was obvious that Knuckles wouldn't let that little comment about him slide.
"Now, let's go home." Sonic said.
Everyone hopped on their boards and left the coliseum. The future looked bright as the sun started to go down in the horizon.
End of Story.
The tournament is over, with Galeon as the victor. Sonic proposed to Amy, which she accepted after Rector surprisingly allowed it. And the future looked bright for our heroes.
Where's the wedding? That's not happening yet. That's a plot point for Sonic Rush Adventure. You'll have to wait to find out.
YES! This story is finally completed. After a long time, I can't believe it!
