I'm going back to my roots! This story is based on the idea of how people think Amy could be compatible with a lot of different characters (Knuckles, Espio, Big, Silver, Sonic, ect) It takes place five years after Sonic Adventure 2. Eggman has somehow become the ruler of the world, I figure, hey, the guy had to succeed one of these times. I'll try to include hintings to many different AmyxWhoever pairings, this fanfic might have a final pairing, or it may not. Please Enjoy!

I looked up at the beautiful Master Emerald, with him on my mind again. I sat in front of the jewel, and all its brilliance. Angel Island was the only place that hadn't been touched due to Knuckles and Eggman's alliance. Eggman would leave Angel Island and anyone that was there alone as long as Knuckles sent him any resources he could. I could tell that it pained Knuckles to alliance with such an evil man, but he understood what had to be done to protect the Master Emerald.

"Hey Amy, I finished my dinner, you should go eat, I'll take the watch."

I looked up to see Knuckles looming over me. I nodded to him silently and got up, walking towards a long picnic table. Seated at the table were Cream, Big, Tails and Vanilla.

"Hello Amy, you look tired. Would you like something to eat?"

"Yes please." I said, nodding my tired head.

Vanilla poured some sort of fruit mix into a bowl. It was mashed up, and looked rather disgusting, but it wasn't bad after five years of eating the same thing. I took a seat next to Cream. Live was repetitive, but I know it was a lot better than living in the Eggman Empire.

"Where the hell is that woman?!"

None other than Eggman was seated atop his throne inside a brilliant castle. This castle was constructed out of scrap metal and assorted thrown out parts, and now stood as the tallest building in the Eggman Empire. A white bat approached the thrown of the Emperor.

"You were talking about me?"

"Rouge! Have you prepared the troops?"

"Of course. We're all ready to go."

"Great, let's get going right away."

I sat awake, in front of the Master Emerald and again, Knuckles came to my side.

"Amy, you should go to bed now."

"I'm not tired." I stated, turning away from him

Knuckles sat down beside me, and spoke again.

"He's never coming back is he?" I said, with tears in my eyes. "What if he's dead?"

"Amy, don't talk like that. Don't talk like there isn't any hope." Knuckles replied, laying my head on his shoulder. "Sonic is out there, and he will destroy Eggman, someday. He always did."

"Knuckles, I'm not a kid anymore. I'm 18 years old, it's been five years. He's either dead, or doesn't give a damn. You know that, and I know that, so stop treating me like a child." I said with sniffles damaging my speech

"You're right." Knuckles said "I'm sorry; I'm just used to treating you like a kid sister."

"Its fine, I understand."

Without warning, I heard the sound of an aircraft in the distance. Knuckles must have heard it too, because he takes my hand and leads me to the edge of the Island. Outstretching as far as we can see, there's orange crafts coming our way, with the Eggman logo imprinted onto it.

"Shit!" Knuckles said "Amy go warn the others."

"What about the pact?" I yelled

"I'm assuming its void." He replied.

I ran as fast as I could to the assembled tents, and shook them as hard as I could. When my four friends came out, I told them what was happening, and I quickly lead them to the underground hideaway that Knuckles had dug out incase. I then ran back to find Knuckles. When I found him at the Master Emerald (Where I thought he would be, of course.) he seemed surprised.

"Amy? Why are you here?"

"To protect the Master Emerald!" I yelled, taking out my signature hammer

"Stupid girl." He replied as the Eggman fleets landed around us.

The ship that had landed right in front of us opened its door, and a plank ejected out of the bottom, sprawling onto the ground. Out stepped the one and only Eggman.

"What of our pact?" Knuckles asked, with distaste in his voice

"I just broke it didn't I?" Eggman said "You haven't been sending me enough resources anyway. Give me the Master Emerald, or else I'll rip you and the other inhabitants up."

"With you're bare hands?" I asked "It doesn't seem like you'd get your hands dirty, doctor."

"Don't be ridiculous!" He said, laughing "This whole entire fleet of ships is armed with thousands of robots. They'd rip you to shreads."

Knuckles looked discouraged. I knew what I had to do; it was the only way to protect The Master Emerald from an evil man like Eggman.

"Take me instead." I said

"Amy!" Knuckles said "You can't do that."

"Yes I can!" I yelled back "I can do whatever I want, stop treating me like a child!"

"Hmm, with you, maybe, just maybe, I can draw out Sonic…."

Eggman thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Alright, I'll take Amy, and I'll take the rest of this island. All the inhabitants and the Master Emerald have until dusk tomorrow to evacuate and go hide wherever else you people hide. I'll be back for this island then.

He then grabbed my arm, and jerked me away from Knuckles.

"Amy, I'll rescue you! I swear."
