Editing The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog (section)

===Train Escape and Conclusion===
Barry awakens back in the Dining Car, whose lights are now also glowing red. Sonic finds them and notes the severity of the situation. The duo decide to look around, and note the yellow glow coming from the monitors in the car. At that moment, Eggman's logo appears on the monitors, and the screen switches to a video call from the mad doctor. Eggman is intrigued that Sonic had finally boarded one of his trains, though he has no idea who Barry is, and reveals that he converted some cargo trains into passenger trains to use in future schemes, such as another Death Egg. Sonic demands to know where the others are, and Eggman reveals to him that they were trapped in the cars they were stationed in, except Tails and Amy, who were trapped in the Conductors Car. Eggman remarks that he's actually just getting caught up on Sonic's predicament, as he had created the train to be self-sufficient. He then remarks that he needed to make more motivation than just programming it in, so he enlisted a bounty on Sonic: Whoever captures him first will be granted a reward. Eggman mentions that a basic Badnik would ask for something simple like an autograph, but the highly intelligent train might desire something bigger. Eggman taunts Sonic before signing off.

Barry begins to doubt themself for ignoring Sonic's condition at the start of the mystery, but the blue hedgehog reassures them to keep moving forward no matter what happens. Feeling more confident, Barry asks Sonic what he would do; the hedgehog replies that he will speed through head on and rescue his friends. Sonic is able to break the door down with a Spin Dash, and he and Barry make their way to the Conductor Car, freeing everyone along the way. Reaching the Conductors car, Eggman reappears on the monitor, telling the train to hurry with delivering the group to his base. The train replies that it will not fail, desiring the "wish" Eggman promised. The train itself combats Sonic, eventually taking control of the Conductor to operate the train as a weapon. Through the battle, the train reveals its wish is for the conductor to stay with it forever, believing itself betrayed by the Conductors retirement. Nevertheless, Sonic powers through everything the train sends at him, eventually revealing the Flicky powering the whole thing. Espio saves the Flicky, while Amy smashes the front of the train with her hammer, destroying it. The explosion launches her into the air, but Sonic is able to carry her to safety. Now back in control, the conductor stops at the nearest station. Before he gets off, the now-damaged train appears and apologizes for the trouble it caused before it shuts down. The conductor says farewell to his old friend as well, promising that he will always remember it.

At the station, Sonic and friends celebrate their victory over the train. The conductors meets up with his wife and looks forward to his trip to Spagonia, though he does not tell her what happened as he felt she would never believe him; instead, he just states that he is looking forward to his retirement more than ever now. Espio apologizes for all the trouble, but Amy tells him not to be worried as he was just doing what he thought was the game. The group notices that in the ruckus, they never ate and now are hungry, so Sonic runs to a bakery and buys a birthday cake for Amy. Sonic and the others celebrate the fun memories they had and head out to eat the cake. Meanwhile, Eggman, seeing that the train has disconnected, angrily orders Orbot and Cubot to fix a bath up for him.

In an epilogue cutscene, Barry states that once cities learned Eggman was in control of the train system, they pulled it from his grasp, and everything is now back to normal. As for Barry, it is up to the player to determine what happens next: they either keep their new job or resign; either practice their singing or win the lottery; and either go to space or run a local supermarket.
