Everyone walked back towards Pride Rock, happy to be united as one. Stella was following the Pride slowly as she looked back sadly, knowing that Virus was still missing.

She lowered her ears and continued to follow everyone. Stella sat by Sonic and Bliss sadly. They noticed this and got worried.

"Stella? Is everything ok sweetie?" Sonic asked.

"I don't know Dad. I'm afraid something horrible has happened to Virus. He still hasn't come back." Stella started to form tears.

Sonic and Bliss felt bad and gave each other a group hug. Stella was crying softly in her parents comfort. Bliss lifted her head and gasped as she tapped Sonic.

Sonic lifted his head and widened his eyes. He smiled and whispered to Stella gently.

"Stella. Someone is here to see you." Stella turned her head slowly and widened her eyes.

Virus was slowly walking towards her but soon stops walking and smiles at her gently.

"Virus!" She ran towards him and hugged him. Virus hugged back, smiling with his eyes closed.

"I thought you were gone forever."

"I took care of it. I'm here now."

"What happened to Scourge?"

"Let's just say you don't have to worry about him anymore."

"Oh Virus. I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry about it. You're all I need."

Stella smiled at him as Bliss and Sonic walked towards them.

"Virus? Where were you?" Bliss asked.

Virus sighed and looked at Stella. She nodded slowly and then Virus looked at Sonic.

"Sonic? I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Virus told him everything about what happened which made Sonic and Bliss shocked.

"I am so so sorry. But I really did change and I was wondering if I would get your permission to be with your daughter?" Virus looked at Sonic nervously.

"Hmm..."

"Please Dad?" Stella asked.

Bliss looked at Sonic as he thought for moment. Sonic walked towards him, giving him a blank stare. Virus sighed.

"It's ok. I understand if you don't trust me. I don't deserve any of this anyway. I can just go."

Sonic placed his paw on his shoulder, which made him look at him. Sonic gave him a smile and said,

"Take good care of her for me and we'll be good."

Virus smiled at him and said,

"I will sir."

Stella smiled and hugged Sonic.

"Thank you Dad!"

"You're welcome sweetheart."

Bliss smiled and hugged them as well.

Virus walked towards Simba and told him everything.

"Don't worry Virus. We're all good now. You gotta put the past behind ya. Am I right?" Simba smiled.

Virus smiled back and nodded. They all walked towards the circle and sat down.

"I love moments like this."

"Love! Not like! Love!" Timon and Pumbaa started crying in happiness.

Soon, the royals stood up and walked towards the edge of Pride Rock as the lionesses bowed one by one. Sonic and the others did the same with a smile.

Once they arrived, they roared loudly as the rest of the animals watched. The lionesses roared as well, along with Virus, Sonic and his family.

The animals cheered as Simba looked at the sky. He heard his father's voice from the clouds.

"Well done my son."

Simba smiled and felt the wind blow around him.

"We are one."

Later, Simba and Nala walked towards Sonic and Bliss.

"So what's gonna happen now?" Sonic asked.

"Well me and Nala are gonna give our place to Kiara and Kovu soon and we'll probably just be on our way."

"It's a little sad to see you leave your place but at least Kiara will be a great Queen." Bliss said.

"I'm sure she will." Simba said.

"So what's gonna happen with you guys?" Nala asked.

"We're gonna have to wait and see if our friend from home will get the portal back so we can return home."

Stella and Virus were talking to Kiara and Kovu.

"Looks like you got to be King after all." Virus said as Kovu chuckled.

"Looks like it."

"We had a great adventure with you two." Kiara said.

"I agree. Stella said."

Suddenly, the portal opened and it showed Tails' lab.

"The portal is open guys!" Tails said.

"Thanks Tails!" Sonic said.

"Hope to see you again soon." Kiara said.

"I'll miss you Kiara." Stella said as they hugged each other gently.

Everyone gave each other a hug and said goodbye. Virus, Sonic and his family went through the portal as it closed the portal. Simba and the others smiled and went to do their thing.

Sonic and the others arrived home, back into their Mobian form.

"Come on Virus!" Stella grabbed his hand and ran off as Virus chuckled.

"Who's that and what happened?" Tails asked.

"You have a lot to hear about buddy." Sonic said as Bliss giggled.

That's the end of story! I hope you enjoy it!
