While they looked at them go up in the sky everyone started clapping and Sonic, Tails and Knuckles turned around and looked at everyone strong like they used to.

Then they looked at each other again.

"So, thanks for the help. You guys can get back to your jobs and maybe bump into each other from time to time again and hang out for a while. And if you need help or a break from guarding the Master Emerald I'll come help you at Angel Island." Sonic said.

Tails and Knuckles looked at each other thinking then nodded.

"We're not leaving you again. Team Sonic is staying together." Knuckles said.

Tails nodded.

"Yeah, we're gonna stick together like before. We shouldn't have done that. Every time you fought him at home I would watch and be worried, think about go help you but most of me would say no and would win." Tails said.

"And after visiting home to see you limping, bruised, cuts and such I would feel a little guilty about leaving you." Knuckles said.

Sonic smiled.

"Thanks guys."

Then they turned around and headed to Sonic's house to celebrate their first victory in ten years.
