Also please review I need your opinions it's very important to me that I'm catching your attention so please R&R!
I do not own Sonic or his team...Sega does.
It was a dark day in the world of Mobius. After a long and harsh battle against Dr. Eggman, an old crazed doctor that wanted to take over the planet, had finally collected all seven chaos emeralds.
In the Doctor's lair a blue hedgehog, who was badly beaten stood silently and almost hopelessly in the shadow of the giant robot not knowing when it will launch its next attack.
"Haha! I have finally done it!" Eggman's voice echoed happily throughout the lab. His mouth formed into twisted smile as he watched the cobalt struggle before him and his mighty robot."Now...how does it feel...SONIC! How does it feel to finally lose!" He asked eagerly to the blue hedgehog struggling to keep himself conscious.
Sonic shook out of his dazed expression, he seemed to have awakened upon being asked that sort of question. He stood up tall even though his injuries hurt like hell. Despite how serious the situation is, he found a smirk creeping on his face. "It feels like a challenge." He laughed with a cocky voice as he looked up at the doctor's face.
"Why you!" Eggman grunted. He raised his giant hand in the air and slammed it onto the control pad in front of him. The robot responded and lunged forward at the injured hedgehog.
Sonic using the last bit of energy left dodged the Robot's attack. It was a little movement but he was already breathless. His footing staggered as he landed back onto the ground. The robot lunged at him again but this time succeeded it's attack and struck Sonic's chest.
The impact shook through Sonic's body in waves of pain, sending his body flying through the air and into the metal wall. He slid down against the wall, not determined to get up any time soon. He coughed harshly, blood dripping off the side of his mouth, he wiped it off leaving a scarlet stain in his gloves.
This sight made him think about his friends who currently aren't present right now...but he guessed that was his fault too. Sonic thought he could defeat Eggman by himself this time. Everyone protested and tried to talk some sense into the hero, especially a blond fox, but to no avail. The cobalt left the team outside the main fortress. Now he regrets it...but there's no turning back now.
Amused, Eggman stopped his robot from doing any more damage to the cobalt. "You still have quite a mouth on you even though you've been defeated." He said stroking his mustache.
He took out the emeralds from a compartment in the robot and got down from his control center. He walked slowly towards another machine surrounded by tubes and wires. Sonic, too weak to get up can only watch Eggman walk towards the machine, juggling the emeralds in his hands.
"Your probably wondering what this machine is." Eggman said placing the emeralds in one side of the machine.
Sonic turned his head to the machine and cocked his head to the side. He really couldn't figure out what it was...then again, he never knows what anything Eggman builds is, until he explains it to him.
Eggman walked back to his control pad with a small smile on his face. "I will tell you...before you die."
"Gosh Egghead I'm flattered." Sonic said sarcastically rolling his eyes. He knew that was coming.
Eggman ignored his comment and sat down in his chair. "This time its a particle accelerator that will transfer energy from one side, into another form on the other side of the machine." He chuckled evilly. "With this I'll have a new power source greater than the chaos emeralds!" He yelled now laughing like a maniac. He pulled the switch and sparks came flying out the machine.
Sonic tried to stand up, blocking out all the pain he was feeling and stood up tall and glared at the doctor. "Your not gonna get away with this."
"Oh, I think I just did...besides what are YOU gonna do about it? Your injured and all alone." He said with a twisted smile. He then activated his robot and charged it at the blue hero.
Sonic braced himself, ready to dodge the attack, when suddenly a red and black blur tackled the robot, sending it to the ground. The familiar blur then retreated back to his form, an ebony hedgehog with crimson eyes stood in front of a Sonic. It wasn't long until the rest of the team came rushing in only to see the machine in this active state.
Sonic's emerald eyes look towards his group of friends and gave them his signature smirk. "Hey guys what took ya so long?"
"I thought you said you can handle this faker." Shadow said keeping his guard up as the robot recuperated. Shadow is a very mysterious guy, he barley smiles or even talks but when he did it was mostly important.
"I guess, I underestimated this metal trash can a little too much." Sonic said scratching the back of his head, wincing when he touched one sensitive part of his head. At the corner of his eyes he caught a red figure stomping towards him. "Hey Knux."
"Dammit Sonic!" A red enchina fumed, his amethyst eyes glaring at the blue hedgehog. "You should have told us you freakin needed help!" Knuckles waved his fist in the air before a yellow fox with two twin tails, stopped it with his hand.
"That's why I gave him a wrist communicator, so he could call us if he did." The young fox stated walking towards the hero. His baby blue eyes scanned the cobalt's body which had cuts and bruises on his back and chest. "Sonic, you look like hell." Tails said wincing a bit at the sight.
"Yeah, feel like it too." Sonic said with a smirk. He pushed himself off the wall and walked forward with a slight limp in his step, it only took a second for his adrenaline to flow through his veins."Sorry for not calling bud." He smiled as he ruffled his brother's hair.
"Not to ruin the moment or anything but...do you guys see that the machine is on?" A white bat said flying down and pointing at the machine. "What is that thing?"
"A particle accelerator, capable of transferring energy. At this rate, once the energy is drained from the emeralds...chaos knows what will happen, since the energy doesn't have a host or anything to transfer into." Tails answered with a serious tone. "This place could even explode!"
Tails' words lingered in the air as the team realized what kind of situation they were in. "Then, what the hell are we waiting for?" Knuckles voice boomed charging his way towards the robot. Shadow shrugged and followed behind quickly loading his gun along the way. Tails stood back from the fight while Rouge took flight hovering above and watched how Sonic ran back into the battle field.
"Oh, back for more I see!" Eggman laughed as the trio made their way towards the robot.
"We sure are, Eggbreath! And this time we will take you down!" Sonic said with his cocky voice again, having a smirk on his face while looking back at Shadow and Knuckles. He felt his adrenalin pumping through his veins as they closed in.
"Damn right!" Knuckles said with the same positive energy. Shadow just rolled his eyes but added a small but faint smile agreeing with the two.
"We'll see about that!" Eggman yelled back slamming onto the control pad, activating the robot once again. It' s arm then formed into a giant gun, it aimed and fired at trio.
The group immediately went into separate directions as they dodged the oncoming lasers. Knuckles charged at it's side and hit the joint in its arm dismembering it completely. Shadow made his move, now that he saw its weak points, he used his own spin dash and aimed at it's leg joint, also dismembering it so that it was unable to move.
"All on you Sonic!" Knuckles announced proudly, turning back slightly to see the cobalt jump towards them.
"Leave it to me!" Sonic said curling himself into ball. He spin himself faster and faster in the air until he performed his infamous spin dash right into the robots chest. It deactivated quickly as the three of the reassemble in front of Eggman who still had a smile on his face.
"Game over Eggman! Any last words before we toss you back to prison?" Sonic said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Actually I do...DING! It's almost finished!" Eggman shouted while laughing.
"Oh crap! Sonic, the machine!" Tails pointed out. The machine began to radiate light brighter every second.
Sonic reacted quickly running up at the machine, since there was no time to disable it from functioning, he performed his spin dash again destroying all its mechanical tubes quickly. The machine's glow disappeared instantly.
Knuckles smashed Eggman's control pad leaving nothing left but scrap metal. Eggman flew with his Eggcarrier and escaped from his lair through it's roof. "This is not over yet Sonic! I will be back to get that power source!"
"Yeah right." Sonic said rolling his eyes looking at the blue sky though the roof.
"I've found them!" Rouge yelled calling out the team. They all crowded around her to see the emeralds surrounded by metal scrapes.
The emeralds were a dark color and had only a faint light within them. The light was still detectable so not all of the energy had been sucked out. Everyone looked at them with round eyes surprised that the energy had not returned into the emeralds.
"So..." Shadow started his eyes narrowing on the emeralds.
"What now...?" Knuckles questioned.
"I don't know. Tails, have any ideas?" Sonic asked.
"I'm not even sure myself, maybe the energy will come back after a while?" Tails stated cocking an eyebrow as he examined an emerald closely. "We could ask Tikal for help, she knows more about the chaos emeralds than us."
"Sounds like the best option." Shadow as he faced everyone.
"Then let's start heading back everyone, I'm starting to get hungry." Knuckles said holding his stomach to contain its calls.
"Of course you are, what else is new?" Rouge said playfully as she walked beside the scarlet echidna.
"Bite me, bat." Knuckles snapped back as he began to walk out the lair.
"Would you mind if I do?"
Knuckles cheeks developed a slight hue of red as the bat winked at him flirtatiously. "Would you leave me alone!" He said starting to walk faster in order to escape, but Rouge kept teasing him as she caught up.
"They're at it again." Tails sighed following after the two. Shadow could only shake his head with a "Hmph." as he walked towards the exit.
Sonic trailed behind the group laughing at Knuckles and Rouge's bickering in the distance, until another sound reached his ear. He stopped and turned around to look for it's source among the metal pieces of the machine. Tails turned around to see his brother staring behind him. "Sonic, what's wrong?" the fox questioned.
"Nothin Tails, go on without me I'll catch up!" He said running back into the metal debris.
Tails shrugged as he saw his brother disappeared from his sight.
"Wanna fight bat!" Knuckles growled.
"Bring it on hothead, I'll win anyway! Rouge snapped.
"Tails! I need some help here!" Shadow said holding Knuckles back with his arm.
"Ah! Y-yeah I'm coming hold on!" Tails said running outside the lab to assist Shadow.
Sonic walked through the ruins that were once Eggman's machine and robot. The area was lighted by the open ceiling as rays from the sun reached the ground in streaks. Large metallic tubes were on the steel floor and wires stretched the walls. Even old robot parts and screws were scattered around the lair, the gang could do this much damage. Sonic walked through the mess still listening for the voice that caught his ears.'I could have sworn I heard someone.' he thought to himself as he looked over and under large pieces of metal.
His patience was running thin after a while of searching. At this point he probably thought it was his wound to the head causing him to hear stuff but he was really certain someone was here. 'Oh well' he thought as he turned to leave, tails as well as the gang were probably wondering where he was and planning a mini party to celebrate yet another victory against the Eggy Doctor.
"*hic *hic" A voice echoed across the room. It was a very soft whimper but Sonic's sharp ears perked up to the voice. The sound continued to grow into fluent sobs one after another. Sonic feeling relieved that he wasn't imagining things, followed the sound deeper into the lair.
Sonic had finally made it through the maze of metallic parts he came to an opening. He went inside and noticed a small dark figure, it looked like it was curled in a ball in the shade. Soft whimpers reached Sonic's ears as he came closer to the figure.
"Hello ar-."
Before he could finish his sentence the figure jumped up in fear and retreated deeper in the darkness. 'Why is a person here in the first place?'Sonic wondered. Eggman didn't mention anybody here let alone use them as a hostage. His emerald eyes shifted back towards the figure seeing it tremble at the sight of him. Poor thing, it's terrified.
"Hey, I'm not gonna hurt ya." Sonic placed a warm smile on his face light radiated of his blue fur making him presentable to the creature. "My name's Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog, I'm here to help ya."
The figure's trembling subsided a little as it saw Sonic was no threat. It came a little closer from the shade and stood up properly. "Are you sure your not going to?" A voice said walking closer. "Hurt me...that is."
Judging by the high yet soft voice, it's a girl. What's a girl doing here?
"Course not...I'm a good guy." The cobalt's cocky voice came out a little as he pointed his thumb at his tan chest. "So, are you coming out now?" He said using his friendly voice.
The girl stood there for a while as if examining Sonic. After she felt secure enough she stepped slowly out of the shady area, revealing herself to Sonic.
The first thing that hit Sonic's eyes was the strong color of pink. She was a pink hedgehog that looked around the age of 16, a year younger than Sonic, who is 17. Her quills were shoulder length curling slightly at their ends giving her a 'refreshing' look. She wore a light white dress that fade to the color pink at the bottom, it showed off her femine curves gracefully as she walked in her white shoes. The last thing that Sonic noticed was her large, glassy eyes, their the color of a deep jade green. She stood in front of him, patting off invisible dust that may have travel with her from the ground.
"Uh..h-hello" she started twisting one of her stray quills. She then made eye contact with Sonic. "I'm Amy Rose."
Sonic was kinda out of it for a sec when he saw Amy. She was a very beautiful hedgehog, though it didn't look like it when she was in the dark. Her eyes stared into his leafy greens ones, piercing into them. He quickly shook off his thoughts and placed a hand behind his head.
"So, Amy how did a girl like you, end up in a place like this?" Sonic asked motioning his hands around the lair.
"Umm I don't know. I...sorta just...woke up here." Amy said with her head tilted to the side." Then I started crying because I was alone here and...that's it." She said shrugging her shoulders.
Well that's weird. Sonic could swear something was odd. If Eggman had nothing to do with it then, where did this girl come from? Sonic held his chin with his hand and looked back at Amy, still playing with her quill.
"Do you remember anything else before you ended up here?" Sonic asked
Amy took a moment to think to herself. She only saw fuzzy images in her head and then a bright white flash. She felt tears developing in her eyes but quickly wiped them away with her gloved hand. " It's all fuzzy to me right now...I can't remember anything... but my name of course " She frowned as she looked down at the ground.
Sonic felt a slight twinge in his chest seeing her sad. Who could blame her, loseing your memories is a scary thing, it's no wonder he found her crying alone. Sonic didn't want to leave a girl, in such a state, alone to wonder by herself. Maybe with some luck, Tails could help ring any bells in her head. Rouge, Cream, and Blaze could also keep her company when doing so. Sonic smirked at the thought and snapped his fingers. Amy quickly raised her head to the sound, her quills bounced lightly.
"Hey, enough with the grieving! I said I was gonna help ya." Sonic started, his smirk stronger than ever. "I'll help you find your memories, until then, you can stay with me and my team. How's that sound?"
Amy's eyes widened at his offer. At first she was confused on why a person like Sonic would help her without any motive. Maybe he was trying to trick her by being what they are called 'two faced'. But she saw Sonic as what he called himself a 'good guy', she felt she could trust him with her life. She smiled warmly brightening the features of her face. "It sounds great."
Sonic smiled in return happy to see her smile and gave her a wink. "Great so we should head back now, the te- *growl~ growls~*" Sonic was interrupted by gurgling sounds coming his stomach along with another sound from Amy.
The two hedgehogs slightly chuckled when the sounds stopped. Amy blushed and placed her hand on her stomach while Sonic scratched behind his ear. Thinking back Sonic didn't even have anything to eat since Eggman decided to attack around lunchtime in the afternoon. The cobalt sighed.
"Well, let's leave the details for later, while we're running." Sonic started. He swiftly picked up Amy bridal style, catching her off guard, and held her tightly in his arms. Amy let out a little squeal by his actions and looked up at his face.
"I can run just fine by myself! Besides...your injured!" She said examining his arms and ragged gloves. Slight bruises were visible on his shoulders and forearms yet, he is still holding her up. A slight blush formed on her cheeks when she thought of how she looked right now
"Don't worry, this is nothing. I've been through much worse before and plus, you won't be able to keep up." Sonic said with a smirk and a light chuckle masking the pain in his arm since the adrenaline was starting to run out. He had to get home quickly before his body shuts down on him. "Hold on tight, ok."
Amy was confused on why she had to hold onto him tightly, but she did so, gripping onto his chest and leaning her head against it. Sonic got into his stance and pushed of zooming through the metal debris and then out side of the lair.
The rosy hedgehog gasp at the sudden rush of wind over her body. Now she knew why she had to hold on tight. She turned her head slightly to see where they were going and saw a bunch of brightly color blurs. Her eyes widen in wonder at the sight as wind blew endless in her quills. She smiled as she began to feel energized.
"It's beautiful." She said lowly, still gazing into the colors.
Sonic heard her clearly through the wind and smiled warmly. At first he thought she wouldn't like it and scream all the whole way but he was content seeing her happy with something that he loves himself: running. He sped up a little faster, gripping the rose hedgehog tighter.
Back inside Eggman's destroyed lair
Clank! Clank!
A figure emerged from the darkness. His blue eyes glowed in the shadows as he maneuvered his way, around metal pieces, into the light of the ceiling. His green quills spiked as the warm of the sun hit them. He yawned and dusted off his black leather jacket.
His ears then twitched to a sound. It was a females then a males voice that echoed through the lair. The figured rushed quickly to the opening but stayed hidden just enough so that they couldn't see him. He saw the back of the blue hedgehog's back and saw he was carrying someone else.
"Hold on tight" The cobalt said readying his stance for takeoff.
In that moment he saw the beautiful pink hedgehog he was carrying and gasp. He was about to call out to stop them but Sonic quickly vanished from his sight, leaving the figure with only a blue fading streak. The green hedgehog cursed to himself as he sucked his teeth.
"Amy...I will have you.." He whispered as he took off after the two.
