"Count On Me"
Sonic hit the ground with a resounding thud, grunting as his head began throbbing with intense pain. He forced himself to stand up, even though every limb of his body, his legs especially, protested against any and all movements. He grinned despite the grimness of his current situation, and even though common sense told him to flee, he refused.
"Is that all ya got, Egghead?" Sonic asked, wiping away the trickle of blood that clung to his fur. He was surprised; usually he didn't get this injured, but Eggman was going all out, and Sonic, bless him, was only one person. Even he had his limits, and he was steadily reaching, he realized with a sense of dread.
"If you hand over those lovely G.U.N. blueprints, I'll leave you be. Otherwise..." And Eggman let the threat hang in the air, a smug smirk on his face. Sonic clutched said blueprints tighter in his hand, flashing a smirk of his own at the doctor.
"We both know that's not gonna happen!" Eggman merely grinned, shrugging his shoulders.
"Suit yourself. It's your funeral. Eggbots! Destroy that blue menace once and for all!" Sonic got back into his fighting stance, sluggish and in intense pain, but he ignored it. He wouldn't go down without a fight. Just as he was about to attack, a red and yellow blur zoomed by him and smashed into the first few Eggbots, causing them to blow up instantly.
Confused, both Sonic and Eggman looked around for the source of the attack, 'cause it sure as heck wasn't from them.
"Hey, Eggman! Over here!" Sonic froze, already knowing who it was without even looking. He turned around anyway and was greeted with the sight of one Amy Rose, her pink quills blowing in the wind, her hammer, and wow, that thing was huge, which meant she was ticked off, grasped firmly in her hand. How she could even support its weight so effortlessly was a mystery to them all.
Their gazes locked for a moment, before Amy shifted her attention back to Eggman, who was sweating bullets, he was so scared. An angry Amy was someone no one wanted to deal with, and Eggman was currently at the top of her hit-list, unfortunately. She stomped towards them, jade eyes narrowed dangerously, and Sonic almost felt sorry for ol' Egghead. The wrath of Amy Rose was nothing to be taken lightly.
"Sonic, I want you to back away. I don't need you getting injured further, and you clearly need a breather. I got this." She had this look in her eyes, a mixture of confidence and determination, that had him feeling flustered. This was girl who stayed getting under his skin, who chased him to the ends of the Earth, who wore her heart on her sleeves, who loved him endlessly, and who would protect him without hesitation.
"Take it away, Ames." And he dashed away, leaving Eggman to his well-deserved butt-kicking. That Amy Rose was one heck of a girl, and Sonic was lucky to have her in his world.
