Sonic's Group in Heaven/Let Me Be Surprised and Returning to Life on Earth by Nayru, Din, and Farore's Blessing

*(Some colorful flashing lights emerged from Sonic's group's views as they flew through the air in a dark-looking cloud-made tunnel which then changed to a bright iridescent light coloration as they zipped through faster, for one minute they were on the docks punch-drunk, and the next thing they knew, they were suddenly flying through this, all sobered up again and surprised. Then, our view of Sonic's group got blocked by a wall of bright clouds, followed by the sound of loud tinkling from a crash. Then the clouds slowly dissipated, revealing Sonic's group now laying on a pile of blue diamonds near a golden pearly gate on a carpet lined hallway made of bright clouds. As they recovered, Sonic's group got confused as their surroundings after noticing the pocket watches Fat Cat gave them earlier are gone suddenly)*

Sonic: (Confused) Huh? Where are we?

Shaggy: (Confused) Like, what's going on?

*(Then three balls of light, one blue, one red, and one green, appeared before them and dispersed, revealing three female angel-like oracles. The first female angel-like oracle is a 31 year old woman with fair skin, elf-like ears, long blue knee-length hair, blue eyes, and wearing a gold necklace with a gold Triforce pendant, a gold headband, gold armbands with light blue frilly garters at each end, a turquoise sleeveless halter top, a light blue strapless dress, a gold waistband, blue sandals with light blue triangle patterns on the soles, large white feathery angel wings, and an iridescent pale yellow halo hovering above her head, and sometimes carried a dark blue, magenta, and gold harp. The second female angel-like oracle is a 30 year old woman with tan skin, elf-like ears, long red knee-length hair tied in a ponytail by a big, gold band, a gold necklace, a fuchsia sleeveless, knee-length jumpsuit with pink frills at the knees and purple triangles, gold hoops, and long red sashes on the sides, gold bracelets, red knee-high sandals, large white feathery angel wings, and an iridescent pale yellow halo hovering above her head. And the last female angel-like oracle is a 29 year old woman with Asian-like skin, elf-like ears, long green knee-length hair tied in two big buns by a pair of yellow hair scrunchies, a light green short-sleeved dress with poofy sleeves, a yellow waistband, a turquoise bodice with two yellow horizontal buttons, and turquoise triangular frills on the skirt of her dress, burgundy legging-like pants, turquoise frilly bracelets, brown ankle-length boots with lighter brown cuffs and soles, large white feathery angel wings, and an iridescent pale yellow halo hovering above her head, and sometimes carried a book about secrets)*

Female angel-like oracle 1: This is the Great Hall of Judgment.

Sonic’s group: (Dumbfounded) Judgment?

Knuckles: What does that mean?

Female angel-like oracle 2: (Helping Sonic’s group up to their feet) It's fine, boys. It means you're going to Heaven.

Female angel-like oracle 3: All good Mobians go to heaven because unlike evil ones, the good are usually good, loyal, and kind.

Tails: (Shrugs) Yeah, I guess it's true.

Fred: No shame in that.

Female angel-like oracle 1: And as we show you what your fate will be now that you're here....

Female angel-like oracle 2: We would love to show you around.

Sonic’s group: (Interested) Really?

Fred: Sounds great.

Sonic: Then show us.

*(Then he asked away, briefly stopping them)*

Sonic: Wait! What're your names?

Female angel-like oracle 1: I am Nayru, the Oracle of Ages and Assistant Head Angel of Heaven.

Female angel-like oracle 2: My name is Din, the Oracle of Seasons and Head Angel of Heaven.

Female angel-like oracle 3: And my name's Farore, and I'm the Second Assistant Head Angel of Heaven.

Sonic’s group: (Getting it) Okay.

Shaggy: Show us.

*(Then Nayru, Din, and Farore began to show Sonic’s group around as they all started singing. During all of this, Sonic’s group is entranced by the beauty of the area they're in)*

Nayru: **Welcome to doing whatever you wish**

Knuckles: Lovely place you got.

Din: **Eating whenever you please**

Nayru: Come.

Din: **To a constant different climate**

Farore: **We keep it 73 degrees**

Din: We're still in fahrenheit here.

Sonic: That's fine with us.

Sonic’s group except Sonic: Yeah.

*(Then they approached a huge book laying on a nearby table)*

Nayru: **Welcome to no more rat race**

Tails: Oh, boy.

Din and Farore: **To order and calm instead**

*(That confused Sonic’s group even more, snapping them out of their entranced state)*

Sonic’s group: (Confused) Huh?

Fred: (Feeling confused and unsure) Okay.

*(Then Nayru, Din, and Farore went to the table and approached the book)*

Nayru, Din, and Farore: **Welcome to being dead**

*(As soon as they heard what Nayru, Din, and Farore said, Sonic’s group got shocked as Nayru opened the book, revealing it to be a History Lifebook of Records with each member of Sonic’s group's lifestory when they were alive, for it turned out, the car in the last chapter has, indeed, killed Sonic’s group, and they are now in Heaven, as spirits in the afterlife)*

Sonic’s group: What?!

Sonic: Wait, whoa, you mean we're...?

Nayru: (Scouring the book with Din and Farore) Stone cold, we're afraid.

Din: (Scouring the book with Nayru and Farore) Just be patient.

Farore: (Scouring the book with Nayru and Din): We're checking for your fate.

*(Sonic’s group's shock turned to anger)*

Sonic: Unbelievable!

Fred: That means we've been murdered!

Knuckles: By Fat Cat, out of all rotten people!

Shaggy: Along with his goons!

Tails: Split the partnership, my rear!

Fred: Ripoff artist!

Sonic: "Ripoff artist" is right, Fred!

Nayru: So we can tell from your angry reactions.

Din: We're getting close to your moment of death.

Farore: And it’s not even 10:00. Not a bad night, huh?

*(Then Sonic’s group started singing)*

Sonic: **We don't wanna die**

Shaggy: Like....

*(Then Shaggy sings again)*

**You got the wrong guys**

*(Then they floated around in the air as the song continued and Nayru, Din, and Farore flew with them, still scouring the book)*

Tails: **We were double-crossed by five dirty rats**

Sonic: **Actually, these four other rats are two cats, a lizard, and mole**

Knuckles: **And their car ran us down**

Tails: **We just blew out of jail**

Fred: **We just got back to town**

Sonic: (While Nayru briefly taps on his shoulder to get his attention) Hey!

*(Then he resumed singing)*

Sonic: **This is hard to explain**

**May I speak to you superiors?**

Sonic’s group: **Because we don't wanna die**

Nayru: (While still scouring the book with Din and Farore) **Welcome to doing whatever you wish**

Sonic’s group: **You got the wrong guys**

Din and Farore: (While still scouring the book with Nayru) **Laughing and singing all day**

*(Then the song ends while they talked some more)*

Sonic: Well, just to let you know, our time ain't supposed to be up!

*(Hearing him upon finishing scouring the book, Nayru, Din, and Farore nods in agreement)*

Nayru: What you say is completely true.

Din: In fact, we know everything, especially who's ready or not ready.

Farore: They’re right, you know.

*(Interested, Sonic’s group floated with the three higher into more of Heaven's bright clouds)*

Sonic: Wow, one minute we were murdered in the prime of our life....

Shaggy: And the next thing we hear....

Knuckles: You say we're not ready.

Fred: Is that good?

Din: It depends if you choose.

Farore: For we're not completely in Heaven yet.

Nayru: This is the afterlife, after all.

Sonic's group: Well, we choose to live again!

*(Then Sonic mumbled to himself angrily)*

Sonic: (Mumbling to himself) Stupid Fat Cat, he'll pay for this.

*(Then they finished floating upon entering a bright cloudy chamber filled with floating watches, with some still active watches that are actually still ticking, others lifeless and not ticking)*

Fred: What's with these watches?

Sonic: What's this Watch Department?

Nayru: This is the Watch of Life Chamber.

*(Farore then grabbed five Watches of Life, in the form of five gold pocket watches each on blue pendants)*

Farore: And these are your own Watches of Life, engraved with your names on them.

Din: And since you're dead, their ticking stopped.

*(Sonic's group accepted their own Watches of Life from Farore, who gave them to them)*

Sonic: So, our guess; We just wind them up and we go back to life again?

Farore: Yes.

Nayru: But before we do....

*(She, Din, and Farore shows the book to Sonic’s group)*

Nayru: Read this.

Knuckles: And this book is...?

Nayru: The History Lifebook of Records.

Din: Infinite pages all in there.

Farore: (Shows Sonic’s group their section) And this is your lives in here.

Din: Which, according to this book, you five had great full potential of making innocent people and animals' lives better in the future.

Farore: Regardless of your gambling business ways.

Sonic’s group: (Amazed) Wow....

Sonic: (Impressed with his gang) You *are* good at knowing us.

Tails: So, there's no point in surprises?

Nayru: Afraid not.

Din: Sorry.

Farore: Like we said, we know everything that happens.

Fred: Yet no surprises.

Farore: And, since you five choose to return to life, Nayru, Din, and I, under the blessings of ourselves, God, and our angels, will regrant you a chance to live your lives again with your Watches of Life.

Sonic’s group: (Happily) Yes!

*(Then Nayru stopped them gently)*

Nayru: If...!

Sonic’s group: (Confused) "If" what?

*(She resumed her explanation with Din and Farore)*

Nayru: If you pass a special test upon your return.

Sonic’s group: (Interested) A special test?

Fred: Name it.

Nayru: Even if you five are revived with your Watches of Life, you are not completely alive yet.

Tails: What's that supposed to mean?

Nayru: It means this special test will help you earn back your mortality.

Din: And it's going to be difficult.

Farore: But we're sure you can do it.

Knuckles: Tell us what we need to do to become alive again.

Sonic’s group except Knuckles: Yeah, tell us.

Farore: You five, in order to become completely alive and mortal again, must perform one special good deed.

Nayru: And if you pass, you're completely alive and mortal again.

*(Interested in this chance, Sonic’s group shook their hands with Nayru, Din, and Farore in agreement)*

Sonic’s group: We'll take it.

Nayru: All right.

Din: And we need to leave the clouds so it can be easy for you to rewind your watches.

Sonic’s group: Okay.

Sonic: Then take us there.

*(Then they floated together through the air to leave the bright clouds for an open area)*

Farore: And normally, there's no surprises in Heaven....

Nayru: But while we work on rewinding your watches....

*(Getting it, Sonic’s group agreed)*

Sonic’s group: Ah, okay.

Tails: Maybe we can make each other surprised.

Nayru: Yes.

Din: That’s right.

Farore: Exactly.

*(Then the singing resumed as they continued to fly)*

Sonic: **We need Brazil**

Fred: **The throb, the thrill**

Knuckles: **We've never been there**

**But someday we will**

Tails: **Adventure and danger**

Shaggy: **Love from a stranger**

Sonic’s group: **Let me be surprised**

*(They hummed a bit and then they, Nayru, Din, and Farore, who vocalized a bit with them, seated on a cloud platform, which then lifted them up higher like an elevator)*

Sonic: **Today there's sun**

Fred: **They said there'd be snow**

Knuckles: **When all's said and done**

**It's fun not to know**

Tails: (While Nayru, Din, and Farore hummed a bit) **What keeps our hearts humming**

Shaggy: **Is guessing what's coming**

Sonic’s group: **Let me be surprised**

*(Then they arrived on a bigger cloud platform and walked across it, watching some shooting stars zip by)*

Shaggy: **Oh, ain't it great?**

Nayru, Din, and Farore: **Ain't it great?**

Fred: **When fate makes you wait?**

Nayru, Din, and Farore: **La, la, la, la, la, la**

Tails: **The world seems mirthless**

Knuckles: **And you feel worthless**

Sonic: **And suddenly**

**There's a big banquet on your plate**

(Then they flew some more, almost out of the clouds)

Nayru: **Oh, Sonic’s group**

**Please heed this advice at heart**

Din: **If you fail**

Farore: **By dying again**

Nayru, Din, and Farore: **Then your souls will be**

**Condemned for eternity**

Sonic’s group: (While Nayru, Din, and Farore hummed a bit with their singing) **Then we'll heed that advice**

Sonic and Fred: **We'll definitely try not to die twice**

Knuckles: **We see to it we will succeed**

Tails and Shaggy: **And this will be really neat**

*(Then Nayru, Din, and Farore revealed they are now in the clear away from the clouds above New Orleans)*

Nayru: **And in about three seconds....**

Sonic’s group and Nayru: (With Sonic’s group pulling their Watches of Life out) **We (You) will be revived**

*(After Din and Farore vocalized a bit, they and Nayru then kissed each member of Sonic's group on their own foreheads)*

Sonic’s group: **And we're all gonna be....**

Nayru: Rewind your watches....

Din: Now.

Farore: Go ahead.

*(Doing what Nayru, Din, and Farore said, Sonic’s group rewound their Watches of Life)*

Sonic’s group: (Letting Din and Farore put their Watches of Life on their own necks) **Wait'll we'll see....**

Din: Remember, if you die again, you'll never come back or return.

Nayru: Do not forget.

Farore: Remember that.

Sonic’s group: (Nods at Nayru, Din, and Farore's advice, giving a thumb's up) **We're gonna be....**

Nayru, Din, and Farore: We'll watch over you.

Sonic's group: **Surprised**

*(The song over, Nayru, Din, and Farore, upon floating back, calls out to Sonic’s group as the five started to slowly float down towards New Orleans while their Watches of Life started to each glow a golden light)*

Nayru, Din, and Farore: GOOD LUCK!!!!

*(As soon as Nayru, Din, and Farore finished shouting that, Sonic group's Watches of Life vibrated powerfully by the golden lights and then the golden lights exploded all around Sonic’s group's bodies, and then they shot down towards Earth to the very spot where they died in the last chapter. As they did that, Nayru, Din, and Farore's ethereal call reached out to them)*

Nayru: (Voice-over) Remember, boys....

Din and Farore: (Voice-over) If you fail....

Nayru, Din, and Farore: (Voice-over) You will never go back again.

*(Back at the docks, everyone that were there are all gone, for they have apparently left already. The only one still there is a stray cat, eating some fish meat scraps from a nearby fishbone. Suddenly, it heard five loud splash-like crashes in the river that it dropped its fishbone meal and then looked around in confusion and suspicion. Then the cat approached the edge of the dock cautiously, having heard the noises coming from there. Suddenly, five figures popped up from the water, climbing onto the dock, coughing powerfully, scaring the bejeepers out of the cat that it yowled a bit in a panic and then ran away. The figures are Sonic’s group, pale-fleshed and partly alive again, soaking wet, and wearing their own Watches of Life, as well as losing the original pocket watches Fat Cat gave them earlier. Then as soon as they climbed onto the dock, they collapsed on their own stomachs as their coughing finished and they gasped a bit, and lost consciousness. Suddenly, their Watches of Life activated, ticking again, and on cue from that, Sonic’s group’s blue fur, gold yellow fur, red fur, and flesh colored skin colorations returned to normal and they woke up with their own gasp, followed by their calm panting. Then they looked at their Watches of Life and got happily amazed)*

Fred: What do you know?

Tails: It worked!

Shaggy: Does what mean we're alive again?

Sonic: Well, we're just partially alive again, but....

Knuckles: (While Sonic shook his wet spiky quills a bit, shaking some water off) I know, I know.

Fred: Perform one special good deed and we're living mortals again.

*(Then they heard Nayru, Din, and Farore's ethereal contact within their Watches of Life)*

Nayru: (Voice-over) We can tell you made it to the land of the living again.

Sonic: (Shrugs) Well, yeah.

Din: (Voice-over) Let us hope that you will find a special good deed to perform.

Sonic: We definitely will, Nayru, Din, and Farore.

Fred: And thanks.

Tails: You're both lifesavers for angel-like oracles.

Knuckles: Yeah, good girls.

Shaggy: And beautiful to be exact.

Farore: (Voice-over) Yes, but we're not that vain.

Sonic’s group: We know.

Nayru: (Voice-over) And you do know what we meant by condemned, right?

*(Sonic’s group, knowing what she's talking about, nodded)*

Sonic’s group: Yeah.

Sonic: If we die again, our souls will be condemned to Hell.

Nayru: (Voice-over) And never go back to Earth or Heaven again.

Fred: That would be a problem if we died again.

Nayru: (Voice-over) Indeed.

Shaggy: And when you said "Partly alive" before...?

Din: (Voice-over) It means you're immortal for now.

Nayru: (Voice-over) And the second death will definitely be caused by any of your Watches of Life dying down.

Farore: (Voice-over) In other words, if your Watches of Life die down again from any damage, then you'll die with them to Hell.

*(Comprehending silently in a brief way, Sonic’s group gave a reassuring shrug)*

Sonic’s group: Not to worry.

Knuckles: We'll be fine.

Tails: We're certain of it.

Nayru: (Voice-over) Good boys.

Din and Farore: (Voice-over) Good luck.

Nayru, Din, and Farore: (Voice-over) And God bless you.

Sonic’s group: (Nods) God bless you back at you.

*(Then Nayru, Din, and Farore's contact having ended on their Watches of Life, Sonic’s group closed up their still ticking Watches of Life, tucked them in their own shirts, or underneath their fur on their own neck and chest areas for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles’ case, got up, and then ran off to the direction of their junkyard home to meet up with the Fearsome Four first before they can take action to find their special good deed to carry out)*

***Coming up: After reuniting with the Fearsome Four, Sonic's group, with Nayru, Din, and Farore's contact's help, prove to them that they're alive again, and after that, they bring the four up to speed of their mission, and, despite being reluctant due to what Fat Cat and his goons did to Sonic's group, the Fearsome Four agrees to help. Then after the four briefed Sonic's group in on Fat Cat's "Monster" they heard about earlier, Sonic's group and the Fearsome Four decide to investigate. And en route, they recruit an unlikely new ally, who will also be shocked and surprised, and then happy to learn of Sonic's group being alive again. And then, Sonic's full group will soon find out who the "Monster" actually is and why Fat Cat and his goons have it.***
