TV and the news were bustling with reports about the attack on the city and the Heroes. Some thanked them for their help and believe they did good. Others think the whole ordeal was their fault in the first place.
"Superheroes? In this city? Give me a break!" An old man exclaimed to a reporter.
On another screen, a senator was giving a speech. "These so-called "heroes" have to be held responsible for the destruction done to the city. This was their fight. Where are they now?"
Somewhere else, another Mobian was reacting to the questions and statements of other people. "What? That this was somehow their fault? Amy Rose saved my life. Wherever she is, wherever any of them are, I just wanna say thank you."

Meanwhile, the Heroes were walking with Knuckles and Starline, the latter being handcuffed and even muzzled, to a blocked area. Knuckles gave his team some handshakes, albeit very painful ones.
Tails opened up a case holding the Master Emerald before giving it to Knuckles, who took it with gratitude. Starline reluctantly took it as well, the emerald transpiring them back to Angel Island.
The group began to splinter off one by one. Tails joined Sonic and Amy as they walked off. Espio returned to base with Rouge and Blaze. Everyone said their goodbyes and parted, at least for now.

Once again, Vector was facing the council once more, who weren't very pleased.
"Where are the Heroes?" Jewel sternly questioned the crocodile.
"I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts," Vector reported calmly. "I'd say they've earned a leave of absence."
"And the Master Emerald?"
"The Master Emerald is where it belongs: out of our reach."
"That's not your call," the Commander seethed.
"I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with the echidna that did."
"So you let him take it and the war criminal, Starline, who should be answering for his crimes?"
"Oh, I think he will be," Vector said with the smallest smirk.
"I don't think you understand what you've started," said the Commander. "Letting the Heroes loose on this world. They're dangerous."
Vector nodded. "They surely are. And the whole world knows it. Every world knows it."
"Was that the point of all this? A statement?" Jewel asked, more out of curiosity.
"A promise," Vector responded before leaving the briefing room, out towards the bridge where he met up with Blaze.
"Sir, how does it work now?" The cat questioned. "They've gone their separate ways, some pretty extremely far. We get into a situation like this again, what happens then?"
"They'll come back." He said rather confidently.
"You really sure about that?"
"I am."
"Why?"
"Because we'll need them to."
Blaze stayed silent after that, taking his response with her as she nodded slightly and walked away. Vector looks out, smiling.

Back at Prower Tower, Tails unveiled a new design to Amy and Sonic who looked excited about it. On the outside, the towers name showed an H, and new modifications being made for the future and whatever it holds.
