The Light of Hope
Sonic, Tails, Sunset and Twilight met with the other primary Resistance members on top of a large canyon overseeing Eggman's empire. There, the sky was now entirely blue.
"Whew, it's sure been a wild ride." Sonic stated.
"After all of this, it's over for real. We've saved the day..no, the world." Sunset blissfully said.
"Hate to rain on everyone's parade but it it isn't over entirely. We may have beaten Eggman, but he still the left the world in a huge mess." Tails pointed out. "Unfortunately, that wasn't an illusion like the others.
"You're right about that. Considering how vast that is, we have our hands full." Twilight agreed.
"I wonder how long that could take." Silver muttered.
"Man, I was hoping for things to get back to normal so quickly." Rainbow Dash complained.
While the Resistance was lamenting their task, Knuckles suddenly thought of an idea.
"Maybe there's an easier way for us to fix this." He brought up, which made him everyone's attention.
"Oooooooh, can I guess, can I guess?!" Pinkie wondered. "It's time travel, isn't it?! Am I right?! Am I right?!"
"Not exactly." Knuckless said. "But we can use the Chaos Emeralds to get rid of this mess."
"But didn't they stop working during since our fight against Eggman started?" Amy brought up.
"Yeah. But since he's beaten, they could work. Something he had must have been nullifying their power." The Resistance commander suggested.
"The Phantom Ruby! Of course!" Tails realized. "Explains why Eggman ignored them and Master Emerald."
"Speaking of which, I'll get that too so we can use it to boost the emeralds power." Knuckles said.
"That sounds like a plan." Rarity agreed. "If I can feast my eyes on that hunk of a gem..."
Rarity's comment made Knuckles formed a confused look. Sonic stepped forward.
"That's a really good idea, Knucklehead. Guess being the Resistance commander gave you a couple of brains." The Blue Blur joked, which made his friendly rival roll his eyes. "Come on everyone, let's do it."
In the Hidden Palace Zone of Angel Island, the Resistance was there with Knuckles standing on top of Master Emerald, which Rouge and Rarity eyed with delight. The 7 emeralds were held by Sonic, Tails, Amy, Shadow, Manic, Silver and Vector respectively. They then released them up and each of them landed on 7 platforms surrounding the Master Emerald. Chaos electricity began to emerge from the emeralds and then they suddenly grew in size, as same as the Master Emerald. This surprised everyone while Rarity nearly fainted with Rouge being awestruck. This made Fluttershy give them slightly worried looks. The Chaos Emeralds were now Super Emeralds.
"Ok. I'm going to need some help with this." The Master Emerald's guardian requested.
"Got you covered, KnuckleHead." Sonic responded
Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Silver and Manic each stood on an emerald, circling Knuckles. The former closed his eyes and placed his hands above. The Master and Super Emeralds began to glow. As they did, the glow extended to the six users. This caused them to enter their super forms. Sonic, Manic, Silver and Shadow' hair and clothes turned golden. For the first three, their hair spiked up. Knuckle's clothes and hair turned hot pink while Tails body was surrounded in a golden aura and small yellow birds circled him. Everyone else was amazed by what they were witnessing.
"Pretty!" Pinkie stated.
"Ok, time to fix our world!" Sonic announced.
The 6 super beings raised their hands and channeled the energy of the emeralds. This caused a giant white sphere with rainbow outlines emerging between them. The sphere was then released as an enormous wave, which was beginning to spread globally around the world.
In the Resistance base, the main members looked on using a virtual screen to check the state of the world. Everything appeared to be headed back to normal as signs of Eggman's rule started to vanish. This raised up everyone's hopes
"It's workin!" AppleJack noticed. "Everythin's bein' fixed. I can't believe it's really happenin'."
"This is great. We've really saved the world this time." Amy muttered. "All of this fighting was worth it in the end."
"At last, the battle is over. We can all go back and resume our lives." Espio commented.
"It's about time. I for one could use a long relaxing break." Rarity said. "The beach is sounding really nice now."
"Well, I guess we don't need this resistance anymore then." Manic said, which made Pinkie looked disappointed.
"Awwww. I know we came together in a bad time, but I really like being here with everyone." Pinkie said. "This is the best saving the world party ever!"
"You're right about that!" Charmy agreed." Even though it's the only saving the world party I've been to."
"Hold on. Pinkie sort of has a point. Yeah, our task at stopping Eggman is complete, but that doesn't mean there aren't any other threats out there." Silver brought up. "If you ask me, this group is just getting started."
"I agree. We need to be on the watch to kick some evil butt!" Rainbow Dash declared.
"You two aren't wrong." Knuckles admitted. "Maybe it's best if we keep this base here, to keep in touch."
"Sounds like a plan." Vector agreed before he turned to Fluttershy. "I admit, when I saw some people here, I wasn't sure if we could pull this through. Glad I was proven wrong."
Vector then gave her the thumbs up, which made her beam.
"That's very nice of you." She praised. "I probably never want to go through anything like this again, but if it's with all of you...then it won't be so bad."
"Another benefit of this is we'll know where everyone is." Rouge added. "So they can't run off on their own to try and look cool."
Rouge looked back to Shadow, who was in the far corner of the room. He then turned away and remained silent. She then looked at Omega.
"I only do this because I know that I am efficient enough for extermination." He simply said, which made Rouge roll her eyes.
"Tails and I can start working making communicators." Twilight offered while holding Spike. "We'll make sure everyone will be able to access the headquarters."
"All of you, thanks for this." Tails said with gratitude as he came in the center. " I'll always remember what we've done with each other. This resistance is going to be even "
The Resistance was moved by Tails's words and everyone cheered. Sunset let out a smile as well. Then, she noticed that amongst the team, someone was missing.
On the outskirts of the city, Sonic was looking out at the sunset.
"Any reason why you're out here?" Sunset asked, which made him turn to see her.
"I'm just looking for myself at all the good we've done." Sonic answered." Besides, I figure even though we fixed things, it's gonna take a while for everything to go back to the same exactly. I was thinking of heading out until then. I haven't had a relaxing run in a while."
"Not surprised to hear that. You're always on the move, huh?" Sunset responded.
"It's who I am." Sonic said before he turned to Sunset. "You did great out there, Sunset."
"Only because I had some good friends at my side. And you." Sunset replied, which made Sonic smirk.
"Heh. Likewise. But you were pretty cool on your own. Don't forget that off" Sonic said as the both of them fist bumped. " See ya later, Sunset. Take care"
Sunset then watched the blue hero take off, leaving behind a blue trail that made her hair blow. Her face broke out in a smile once more. She then turned her back and went to rejoin the others.
