"A Lost Soul"

Chapter 1: A Dead Rose

On Eggman's flagship, a battle has occurred. In this battle, it was between Sonic and friends against Dr. Eggman and his robots. One after another, the robots were easily destroyed by our heroes as they put their powers together. Sonic used his spin dash attacks, Knuckles used his fists to punch them down, Tails used his laser gun, Rouge did some spinning kids, and Shadow unleashed his Chaos Spear attack. However, there was one heroine that didn't have any enemies to fight. That heroine is Amy Rose. Sure she decided to help her friends track down Eggman, but when it comes to battles, she can hardly knock down a robot or two. If she was strong, then she would be able to help all of her comrades and she wouldn't feel so weak.

All of the sudden, a huge gray robot came out of nowhere and landed in front of the pink hedgehog. She gasped as she took a few steps back in fear. Luckily, a certain black and red hedgehog noticed her in trouble after he defeated another weak robot. He gasped and then took off to save her life. This black hedgehog, Shadow, he had a huge crush on the pink hedgehog. He has helped her besides her friends a few times, but he has had an emotional feeling towards her and he could never shake it off. Still, he had to keep it as a secret so that way he wouldn't embarrass her or himself. Finally, he launched his special attack and defeated the robot. Amy opened her eyes in thinking that she about to face her own death. She gasped happily as her eyes caught on the black hedgehog. He looked at her with a small smile and tried not to blush.

"Thanks, Shadow", Amy smiled.

"No problem", Shadow nodded.

"INCOMING!" an orange fox named Tails gasped.

By the call of that warning, Amy gasped as Shadow turned around. Further in front of everyone, was their arch rival, Dr. Eggman, a fat and bold human being. He was sitting on top of a gigantic robot as a seat. He had his hands on the levers in order to fire at the six creatures. The blue hedgehog, Sonic, growled as he got into his fighting position.

"You're time has come, Sonic!" the evil doctor shouted. "This time…I WILL kill you!"

"That's what you think", Sonic snapped back.

"Seriously", a red echidna named Knuckles scoffed. "As if a dumb ass robot could get rid of us that easily."

"Really?" Eggman smirked evilly. "Fire!!" he pressed the buttons on top of the levers.

As small holes opened on the robot's front side, laser shots were fired almost everywhere. Everyone ducked down so they could avoid getting shot. Shadow lifts his head up a little in order to see if Amy was alright. She was on the ground too…but in a pile of blood. It has seemed that a laser blast has killed her before she had a split second to take cover. Her face was laid flat on the ground with her arms spread out open and her legs were closed. Blood was pouring out of her from her stomach area, her neck, and at her shoulders. After seeing all of that, Shadow began to have tears. But then, he narrowed his eyebrows with hatred as his fur suddenly turned dark red. His ruby eyes suddenly turned crimson as so did his streaks on his body. He was angry at the doctor, for killing an innocent soul that was blessed with love and friendship. Now that she was dead, he would never confess his feelings. He looked back as the robot continued firing its laser guns. Sonic and the others stayed down as they covered their heads.

Shadow vanished and then reappeared in front of the robot. Suddenly it seized its fire and looked down at him. Eggman looked down at him too, but with a confused and an unfriendly face. Sonic was the first one to lift his head up after he heard the silence. He widened his eyes in confusion because he had no idea what was going on. As Eggman continued to stare, Shadow's heart pounded twice like loud drums. He growled beastly as his sudden powers returned. It was all because he wanted to avenge his crush. Somehow, he remembered how he lost his old friend, Maria. This time, it was personal. Right now, he was going to avenge Amy Rose.

"What in the-?" Eggman cocked an eyebrow.

"I'll kill you", Shadow looked at Eggman viciously as his eyes turned crimson.

"Oh, my gosh", Sonic whispered to himself in fear.

Within a blink of an eye, Shadow totally knocked down the robot! Then he started pounding it down into pieces as he yelled and cursed wrathfully. Eggman crawled away from the angry hedgehog before his invention was knocked down before he knew it. During the whole event, Sonic couldn't shut his eyes. He was so shock to see one of his comrade's act like that. In fact, the look in Shadow's eyes looked extremely terrifying. Tails, Knuckles, and Rouge lift their heads up and watched the scene too. After Shadow got done beating the hell out of the robot, he looked around for Eggman. Apparently, he was anxious to kill him. The doctor got in his Egg-Mobile and took off to the sky. He growled again as he got into his position to take off in the air. Sonic gasped as he got up and ran to him. Before Shadow could've flown up in the air, a sudden hand grabbed his arm.

"Shadow, stop!" Sonic said.

"…?"

Shadow blinked a few times as he nursed his head. Magically, his eyes and streaks transformed back into their natural ruby red color. At that moment, Shadow shook his head. He somehow knew that he just went out of control. His other comrades got up and walked to him just to see if he was ok.

"Are you ok, Shadow?" Tails asked nicely.

"Yeah", Shadow snatched his arm away from Sonic slowly. "Must've gone outta control."

"Why is that?" Knuckles crossed his arms.

"Yeah", Rouge, the white bat said. "What made you go all crazy?"

Just then, Shadow widened his eyes a little. He turned around and scanned pass Knuckles and Rouge. He was paying attention to Amy, who was still on the ground in her own pile of blood. Holding back his tears, Shadow ran to her and the others followed. Once they reached to the large circle of blood, they all gasped.

"Oh, Amy", Rouge began to have tears.

"If only this didn't have to happen", Tails shook his head.

"Damn…Why?" Knuckles looked away with hot tears.

"No…" Sonic said to himself sadly.

The black hedgehog kept silent as he continued to stare at the pink hedgehog. She wasn't just a hedgehog. To him, she was like a beautiful rose that bloomed his air. Not just a rose, a beautiful rose from the above. Without her, he wouldn't really have anyone to talk to. He liked her a lot, actually loved her. Staring at her made him want to cry, but he didn't. He had to be brave and strong, even though it killed him inside. Sonic turned around and walked away a little as he sniffled with tears. Moments later, Rouge began to sob. Knuckles hugged her in his arms for comfort. Tails covered his face as he cried along with her. Shadow covered his eyes with his right palm and let his tears fall. Then his body began to shake a little because he felt like he couldn't hold it any longer. Sonic shook his head as his tears escaped from his eyes.

"No", he sobbed a little. "Why Amy? Why now? She was so innocent…" then he covered his face and sobbed so more.

"Amy", Shadow thought to himself bravely as he removed his hand from his eyes. "You were a very kind and beautiful girl. I never thought that you're life would end this way. It's so sad, because…I had feelings for you. I wanted to show them to you, but now…you're dead…I'll miss you…Amy Rose…"

Twenty five minutes after the heartbreaking scene, everyone clamed down, even though they couldn't hold back their tears. Tails got in his X-Tornado plane along with Knuckles and Shadow. Sonic and Rouge easily sat Amy in the back and fastened her seatbelt. After that, Rouge got in the further back behind Amy as Sonic only stood on the left wing. Nobody was happy right about now. Eggman got away and they lost a very good friend. Today, it was like a nightmare except that it came true. They only wished that she was still alive right now, giving them advices to never give up. Right now, they gave up hope for bringing her back to life. She was gone, and there was nothing else they could do. Finally, Tails sighed as he pressed a button to close the windows. After that, he got his plane in position and took off to the midnight sky.


Damn, I feel bad for her now. So yeah, at least I tried to make this chapter as a tragedy moment. If you guessed, the next chapter is about Amy's funeral. Stay tuned…
