Nega's Assault Series: Story No. 5, The Four Hero Army.

Chapter 1: Day of Disaster

It had been two weeks since Sonic got married to Amy, and the following weeks had been peaceful for everyone. It was a clear day (about 12:30) in Station Square that day, and everyone seemed to be going about their business, whatever it was. At Sonic's house, Amy wanted to relax at Emerald Coast, and she knew that Sonic wouldn't be interested, so she decided to go alone.

"Sonic, I'll be at Emerald Coast if you need me." Amy told her husband.

"Really?" Sonic asked. "Are you sure you don't want me to tag along?"

"I thought you wouldn't be interested." Amy told him. "So I decided to go alone. Besides, what could happen on a peaceful day like today?"

"You never know." Sonic replied. "Well, if you want to go alone, I won't stop you. Just be careful."

Sonic walked over to Amy and gave her a quick kiss before she left. Once the pink hedgehog was out the door, she looked around her. People were either walking to work or to a place for lunch. Amy and Sonic had theirs about 30 minutes ago, so she didn't need to worry. As she went on her way, she bumped into her older brother, Rector. Well, almost, but they managed to avoid that.

"And where do you think you're going, little sister?" Rector asked.

"Don't call me that, Rector." Amy said. "I'm just going to the beach for a little relaxation."

"And Sonic didn't come with you?"

"Nah. I knew he wouldn't be interested anyway. Besides, he knows where I'm going, so he won't need to worry."

"Well, as long as he knows. Well, I'm off to see Raine and Howl back at our headquarters. I'll see you later."

Rector and Amy then went their separate ways. It didn't take Amy long to arrive at the beach. Once she was there, she laid out a light-blue towel, sat down on it, put up an umbrella to shield herself from the sun, and finally put on some sunblock and some sunglasses before finally lying down. As she relaxed, she could hear the seagulls off in the distance. They were just flying in the air as usual, sometimes coming down to the water's edge to swipe up a fish or a piece of sandwich from an unlucky person. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

About 30 minutes later, Amy woke up, fully relaxed. She looked at her surroundings, only to find that nothing had changed. She was glad that things were okay, though she had no idea of the disaster that was about to strike. A few minutes later, a large black object appeared from out of nowhere and started blasting the city. The object was a large black flying battleship with a symbol on it. It looked like Eggman's symbol, except it was a light gray. That could only mean one thing: Eggman Nega had returned, and this time, he was making a direct assault.

Onboard the battle cruiser, Nega was giving out orders.

"Deploy the robot troopers! Activate the assault cannons!" Nega barked; his robot soldiers rushing to complete his orders. "I want as many people as possible dead!"

Amy was horrified. She could barely hear Nega's orders, and he was trying to kill as many people as he could. And knowing Nega's desire for the world to be destroyed, he would try to kill everyone.

"I have to warn Sonic and the others before it's too late!" Amy said to herself before bringing out her Piko-Piko Hammer and running off.

The assault had already begun by the time Amy set foot into the city. She couldn't believe the destruction that she saw. A lot of the buildings were either on fire, partially destroyed, or completely destroyed. She could see a lot of civilians dead, dying, or running away to try to escape death. But no matter where they ran, robots seemed to be chasing them every which way. She saw a little boy, about 8 years old, trying to run from a Nega-Pawn, the basic robot of Nega's army. But the little boy tripped and fell, and couldn't get up. During the brief time he had tripped, the pawn had already come upon him and raised its lance, ready to kill. The boy closed his eyes and waited for the deathblow…but it never came. He looked up to see the robot smashed into pieces. Amy had crushed it just in time.

"Amy?" The boy asked.

"Are you okay?" Amy asked.

"Thanks to you, I'm fine." The boy said.

"It's too dangerous out here." Amy told the boy. "Hide somewhere until the danger is over."

"Alright." The boy replied before running off to hide somewhere.

Amy continued further into the city. She hoped to find one of the heroes so she could help out. It wasn't long before she found the first two…dead. Knuckles was lying on the ground, having been shot, while Rouge was nearby, sitting up against the wall. Apparently she had died by being thrown into the wall, with the head being the first to slam into it.

"Knuckes…Rouge…they're dead?" Amy asked, shocked. "This isn't good."

Amy then headed further into the city, and when she reached the first intersection, she saw two dead, and one dying. The dead ones were Zeus and Hurricane, while Mintra was barely hanging on to his life.

"MINTRA!" Amy called out; Mintra turned his head to look at her.

"A…Amy…" Mintra tried to speak as Amy knelt beside him.

"What happened?" Amy asked.

"E…Explosion. It hit…us three." Mintra explained. "I managed to survive a bit, but…I don't think…I'll…live…much…longer…"

Mintra then fell over and didn't wake up. Amy knew he was dead. She had already seen five heroes dead. She looked over to the right, and saw four more heroes. Omega had been disabled and shut down, beyond repair or resurrection, and Team Chaotix were all scattered around, not moving. From the looks of it, a machine gun had killed them while Omega had been sabotaged. She turned towards Sonic's house, and halfway there, she saw a sight that made her stomach boil with rage. Tails was dead, and Cream had just been shot in the stomach. She fell over as the gun pawn walked off.

"NO! CREAM!" Amy yelled as she rushed towards her best friend. Cream didn't respond; her eyes were closed. Amy felt for a pulse, but didn't find one. When the shot hit the rabbit, the velocity of the shot had killed her instantly. She then turned to the robot, who was still walking off. "HEY, YOU!"

The robot turned to see a very angry Amy staring at it. The robot turned and ran, immediately frightened, but Amy was too quick, and brought her hammer down on the robot, smashing it to bits. She then crushed the head, which was still in one piece. She looked over to the left to find about five GUN soldiers battling five gunner pawns. Four of the GUN soldiers died quickly, but the fifth soldier pressed a button on his submachine gun, revealing a cannon, which he promptly fired. The cannon blast hit all five gunner pawns, destroying them. The soldier then walked over to the side of the building and took a watch position. Amy ran up to him.

"Whoa! The way you took out those pawns was amazing!" Amy told the soldier.

"Thanks." The soldier replied. "I'm with the G.U.N gun-cannon squad. Our guns can expand to include a small cannon for added firepower. I'll cover this area. You go on ahead, and be careful."

"Alright. And thanks." Amy said before moving on.

Amy continued on her way, smashing the occasional pawn while GUN soldiers scattered throughout the area battled various robots. She had to get to Sonic's house and make sure he was okay. About halfway there, she saw two kids, an 11-year old girl and a 9-year old boy, about to be stabbed by a spear pawn. She rushed over to them and used her hammer to slam the spear out of the robot's hands before slamming it across the street into a wall, breaking it in the process.

"Thanks, Amy." The 11-year old said. "You saved me and my little brother."

"Glad to help." Amy said before running off. "Find somewhere to hide."

They did so while Amy continued on. Along the way, she saw Axel and Basil battling a large black robot wielding a sharp lance. Basil brought up a water shield while Axel brought up some rock spikes and launched them.

"We have to find Armand!" Axel said.

"I know, Axel, but we can't do that until we're past this guy!" Basil told him.

The robot blocked the spikes, then thrust its lance at them, breaking the shield and impaling both of them. It then retracted its lance, letting the two heroes fall to the ground, dead. Amy couldn't believe it. She knew that Armand would be furious when he learned this. But she couldn't go and find him right now.

She finally reached Sonic's house, which had been nearly destroyed. She went in…only to find Sonic lying on the ground, barely alive. He had been shot by a laser prior to being stabbed in the stomach. Amy ran over to Sonic's side, feeling for a pulse. It was there, but weak.

"Sonic! Sonic! Wake up!" Amy pleaded. Sonic coughed up a bit of blood before waking up to see Amy.

"A-Amy. I…I'm glad you're okay." Sonic said. "Nega…he came down here personally…and shot me, then stabbed me."

"Sonic, is there anything I can do?" Amy asked. "Maybe there's a way to save you."

"I'm…sorry…Amy." Sonic told her. "But…there's no way…to save me."

Tears welled up in Amy's eyes. Her husband was about to die, and there was nothing she could do.

"I…know this…isn't like me…to give up…like this." Sonic told her. "I wish…there was something…you could do."

"Sonic, no." Amy said, nearly in tears. "You can't die."

"I'm sorry…to leave you." Sonic said, almost in tears himself. "I know it's been…only two weeks…since we got married. I'm sorry it…has to be…this way."

"Oh, Sonic…" Amy tried to say something.

"Amy…you must…defeat Nega. For me." Sonic said. "I…love…you…"

Sonic then let out his last breath and died. Amy couldn't hold herself back. She let herself cry. Sonic had died, and he wanted her to do nothing more than defeat Nega and avenge him. She slowly stopped crying, and started looking around for anything that may help her. She saw Gerald, Sonic's brother, dead on the staircase. Shadow was sitting nearby, also dead. In his hand was a pistol. Amy walked over to the ebony hedgehog and looked at the gun. She was about to take it, when she stopped herself.

"No! I won't use a weapon other than my hammer! I won't!" Amy thought to herself. "If I were to use one of those, Sonic would never…"

Thinking about Sonic hurt Amy. Sonic would never forgive her if she were to use a gun. Then again, she was determined to avenge Sonic. She picked up the gun, and checked the ammo clip. She had seen Shadow do that, and learned from watching him. The ammo clip was full, which meant Shadow had died just after a reload. She picked up the holster and clipped it onto her dress, then put the pistol in it.

"I'll only use it if I have to." Amy said to herself. "Sonic, I hope you will forgive me once this is over."

Amy then walked out the door, determined to avenge all of her friends, and hoping to find more survivors. The battle had begun.

End of Chapter 1.
