The Mobian team arrives at Angel Island, narrowly avoiding total annihilation. Shadow, having completed his task, transforms back into form, and the Chaos Emeralds scatter again.

Tails: We did it... We really did it!

Amy: And the best part is that everyone is alive and well.

Eggman: ...Almost everyone.

Shadow also arrives at the others, going to the two unconscious warriors.

Shadow: Still knocked out Huh? Are you lazy bounch ever going to get up?

Amy: Hey, they usually come to their senses at times like this, something like this has happened before-

Tails: Then why do I have such a bad feeling?

Shadow: Their bodies lost a lot of energy very suddenly, becoming unstable. It could be a defensive reaction to stay alive. It could even be a coma.

Tails: K-coma? But the time is uncertain, and how-

Amy gently pulls the fox closer, trying to calm him down. Although her voice is filled with concern.

Amy: Tails, I'm sure they'll get through this too...like always.

Tails: Y-right. Thanks Amy.

Tails checks his radar for the Tornado's remaining pieces, but to his dismay, he finds nothing. He knows what that means.

Tails: Guys, I think the Starfall Islands...are completely gone.

Amy: Oh...Then the Cubes too...No...

He gets sad when he puts them together, wondering what might have happened to them. He's about to sit down in despair when he feels a push at her feet.

Amy: Huh? Tails are thoese-

Amy: W-what? How did you guys get here?

Amy: W-what? How did you guys get here?

Tails: The only thing that's possible...Shadow?

Shadow: When we teleported, I used everyone's chaos energy to measure you. So they also have a minimal connection to Chaos, so they were included in the scope. Lucky.

Amy: Oh, that's good. Hey, I have an idea. They need a new home anyway, and Knux needs some new company on the island. Kill two birds with one stone.

Tails: Too bad we couldn't save the old one.

Shadow: Not only that...

He heads towards Eggman, who looks sadly at the blue ocean and sky, thinking about the adventure.

Shadow: Doctor?

Eggman: Hmm...But it all started with me wanting the ancient technology of the island for myself. Then I spent more and more time with him outside of the plan. The more I was with him, the more he reminded me of him... my cousin... And now I've lost him too. Am I cursed?
