Sonic X Season 4: Joys of the Mundane

Tower of Okiku pt 4. Finale

Cosmo breathed heavily clutching the Bo in her hand.

The spirit girl raised her hands and spheres of dark energy blasted their way to Cosmo.

Cosmo dodges the attacks and sprints towards the spirit.

Spirit girl: "Rahhhhhh!!!"

The girl attacks were getting more ferocious every second.

Cosmo gracefully moves close to the girl.

She jumps to the air and striking for an attack.

The spirit summoned a force field blocking the attack.

Cosmo : "What!!!"

The spirit looked at Cosmo with rage filled eyes.

A tendril of dark energy formed and hit Cosmo into the Wall nearby.

Cosmo: "OOF!!!"

Cosmo's arm was hurt, but she stood up ready for another attack .

Then, a laser hit the force field and the spirit looked up .

It was Tails flying in the air using a laser gun using power the gem he had.

Cosmo: "Tails!!"

Tails flew down to Cosmo worried about her.

Tails: "Cosmo! Your hurt!!"

As she leaned on him for support. And Cosmo smiled grateful for him being there.

Cosmo: "It's Ok. I'm glad you came. But we have problems~..."

Tails looked at the spirit. He was in shock seeing she was the same girl from the portrait.

Tails: "It's her . The girl from that portrait in the hallway..."

Cosmo: "She is human but, how did she get here without the Chaos Emeralds like Sonic or the Master emerald~..."

Tails: "I don't know but, she doesn't look like that is going to talk..."

The spirit raises her hands ready for another attack .

Tails puts himself in front protecting Cosmo .

??? : "Okiku, Enough!!"

The ghost girl immediately stops and looks up in complete shock.

Celica walks from the nearest hallway

Okiku: "Celica??"

Celica smiles softy.

Celica: "It's me Okiku. It's been a while sorry I could not see you as much~..."

The ghost floats over to the wolf girl.

Okiku has tears in her eyes.

Okiku : "Big Sis, is that really you..."

Celica: "Yes, I'm finally here~.."

Celica headpats the ghost as she slowly sheds tears

Celica: "You must have been very loney..."

Okiku: "sniff, sniff, Wahhhh!!!"

Tails looks over mildly confused.

Tails : "Celica, what is going on?"
Cosmoblooked at Celica confused too.

Cosmo: "Tails, who is that lady?

Tails looked to Cosmo.

Tails : "A woman who tend to my wounds after I was sent through the wall..."

Celica: "Looks like I should tell you the truth..."

Celica: "I came to this castle 5 years ago. To discover the mysterious rumors of the castle~..."

"I went here to see what the ruckus was about. As I was walking around I felt a presence following me..."

"Then, I discovered that was Okiku. Honestly, I did not know what she was. Her species does not exist on this planet~..."

"She looked afraid of being close to me but she warmed up to me. I learned about her story. And spend time with her and come here to find out where she came from~..."

"I slowly came to care deeply about her and I became her new big sister~..."

"I went to buy the castle so I could stay with her. However, due to the rumors the castle's price was extremely high. So, I had to do work to buy the castle~..."

Celica : "I'm sorry it took so long. But you should not captured those kids~..."

Okiku looked down sad.

Okiku: "I thought they were going to destroy the castle. With their scary dresses, I thought they were monsters~..."

"I will send them back~..."

She snapped her fingers and the kids were teleported back to their homes.

Celica smiled

Celica: "It's ok, everyone makes mistakes. Tails, thank you for understanding and sorry about this. Let fix your girlfriend's wounds~..."

Tails: "Thanks, Celica..."

Okiku floated to Cosmo looking guilty and bowing her head.

Okiku : "I'm.. I'm sorry ~..."

Cosmo smiled

Cosmo: "It's fine. Loneliness makes people do things they would not normally do. It's ok~..."

Okiku: "Will you visit me, some time..."

Cosmo smiled and patted her head which okiku nudged it.

Cosmo: "Of course, I will bring you new friends so won't be lonely~..."

Okiku smiled.

Okiku; "Thank you~..."

An hour later

Okiku and Celica waved goodbye

Okiku : "Bye Bye. Tails and Cosmo~..."

Cosmo and Tails: "Bye Celica, Good bye , Okiku~..."

Celica: "Tails, I will do more research on the castle see more of what I can find~..."

Tails : "Ok, see you soon..."

Tails and Cosmo were back into the town. Seeing kids reunite with their families with them crying that they are back.

Promising their parents not to go to the scary castle again.

Tails : "Let's go home. We have candy to eat..."

Cosmo : "Yeah, it's been a long night~..."

Tails and Cosmo went safely home.
