A young hedgehog was lying motionless on the cold grass, her rose coloured dress smudged in dirt. The moon shone on her pale face, a blue hedgehog was sitting next to her, anger rushing through him.
She risked everything to save me He thought.
"Eggman!" He shouted with rage. He turned and stared into the night sky. Letting his legs hang over the edge of the cliff, moving slightly only when the wind blew. The hedgehog stood. It's not worth living without Amy He thought as a single tear fell down his cheek, and jumped over the edge and into the darkness.
...
Sonic sat up straight in his bed. Sweat drops sliding down his face.
It was just a dream he thought just a dream.He looked through his window, it was morning. He slowly got out of his bed, that was the third time he'd had that dream this week.
What did it mean? It seemed so...real.
His thoughts were interupted by a knock on his door.
"What?" Sonic called.
The door creaked as it opened and Tails poked his head through.
"Hi Tails" Said Sonic, relieved it wasn't Amy coming to give him what she called "A morning hug"
"Hi."
"What's the news?"
"Nothing, yet."
They were both fell silent, thinking hard. A while later the silence was broken by an ear splitting scream.
"Amy?" Tails said with surprise.
"Come on!" Sonic said, rushing towards Amy's room.
While Sonic was running through the empty hallway a giant metal hand smashed through the wall. Sonic managed to jump out of the way, bearly missing being chopped in half by its sharp claws. He heard laughing coming from above them. Sonic looked up as another hand was ripping through the celling.
"Eggman!" Sonic shouted.
His whole body was filled with anger and adrenaline. He wanted to fight Eggman so badly, he wanted him to suffer but knew that he had to find Amy.
"Amy!" Sonic shouted running around the smashed contents of the house. "Amy where are you?"
He heard a muffled sound from under a pile of rubble. Sonic ran over desperately trying to uncover Amy, hoping she wasn't hurt in any way. It seemed like forever but he finally saw her pink hair, from under a sheet of glass. he smashed it easily with a punch and hauled Amy out. She had minor cuts, no serious injuries. Her eyes were closed and her breath came in low rasps.
"Amy?" Sonic asked in a worried tone.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled "Help!" Sonic turned and saw that Eggman's robot had grabbed Tails around the waist pinning his arms to his sides, and was walking away, fast.
Sonic looked between Amy and Tails. Amy, or little adopted brother?... Little adopted brother He quickly decided.
"I'll be back" He whispered to Amy then ran over to help Tails.
"Hey, Eggface!" Sonic yelled at the top of his lungs "Over here!"
Eggman spun the robot around and laughed "Theres nothing you can do, Sonic the hedgehog" He snarled angrily.
Amy stirred where she lay. "Sonic?" She said slowly sitting up.
Amy looked around, wondering what had happened. The she spotted Sonic and the giant robot holding Tails. She lifted her body off the grit stained floor and ran to help.
Sonic used spindash on the robot, it spun around dizzily and lost its grip on Tails. The robot fell over in a heap, Amy heard Eggman cursing under his breath. Eggman jumped out the emergency exit and ran.
"This isn't over!" He shouted over his shoulder as he ran.
Tails ran over to Sonic.
"Where's Amy?" He asked, searching the wreakage.
Sonic looked around wildly.
"Over here" She called racing towards them.
"Amy!" Sonic and Tails said at the same time. They looked at each other than burst out laughing.
"Hey guys" Amy replied with a wide grin on her face.
Amy was surprised when Sonic opened his arms and gestured for a hug, still laughing a little. What happened to him? She thought. The rose hedghog just smiled even wider and wrapped her arms around Sonic, she just wanted time to freeze so she could stay in his arms forever. Never having to face any problems or anything ever again.
After what seemed like hours Sonic finally pulled away smiling again.
"Where's mine?" Tails asked with a grin on his furry face.
"I could never forget you" She said ruffling his fur as she went to hug him.
...
Rouge walked around what used to be the home of Tails, Amy and Sonic. She sighed as she remembered all the memeries she'd had in this very place as a kid.
"Strange, isn't it?" Asked a voice Rouge knew only too well.
She looked around trying to find the dark hedgehog.
He stepped out of a dark shadow revealing himself to the the female bat.
"What do you want?" She asked curiously.
"It's been a long time since we've talked" Said the hedgehog in a low voice.
"Hows Espio? I presume you haven't killed him, yet."
"He's trying to keep me out of trouble, like always." Replied the male hedgehog with a slight smile on his face.
"Shadow, what are you doing here?" Asked Rouge pointlessly.
"Easy, just came for a visit."
Rouge looked at Shadow. "What are you planning to do?"
"I'm here to fight the one they call 'Sonic the hedgehog" Shadow replied.
"Why?" Rouge asked worried.
"Because that's what I was created for. I'm sure of it now."
"That's not true" Said a new female voice.
Rouge looked around wildly "Shae?" she asked with a tremble in her voice.
"What?" Shadow asked suprised by the up bring of the name.
"Yes" She said walking around a crumbled wall and into their view of vision.
Shae, a dark female fox with a fiesty attitude and a great intrest in sarcasim. Her dark red fringe shaping perfectly around her head while her dark black hair hung effortlessly down her back, her tail swishing in the wind.
Shadow immediatly stared at the ground. Shae looked at him, sighing.
"Long time no see, Shadow"
A shiver went down his spine when she said his name.
"What brings you here?" He asked.
"Nothing, just come to stay for a while."
"Well it's nice to have you back too" Rouge said with a grin pasted on her face. "It's been a long time since we last talked"
Shadow looked into her deep grey eyes, remembering the pain he had caused in her.
