Author's Note: New Story! Well, it's just an experiment. I had this idea rolling around my head for quite some time and I'm going to see how it fends itself in the world. haha. The story will be written as Sonic as the narrator :) Yay! I will try for this story to not be too long.

Disclaimer: I don't own SEGA related characters or quotes written in the chapters.

Chapter 1

"The rose speaks off love silently, in a language known only to the heart"

Here we go again. It seems like his plans are the same each time. Create a new machine, plan on creating the new Eggman Empire, and kidnap Amy Rose. You would think he would realize why we beat him each time. It was pouring out, the water stung my eyes, but I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. No one will know when I'm in pain. I pick up my speed, and kept alert to my footing, the grass is getting slippery. Off in the distance was one of Eggman's latest creations, a metallic beast so vile, it needed a thunderstorm just to show its evil. I grin, a new battle begins. I catch her in the corner of my eye. She was dangling off of what would be one of the many claws this beast had. Eggman seriously needs to take art classes, his inventions are never one for the eye candy. Faster, faster and faster. My legs pumped harder as the beast was no longer off in the distance, but within reasonable yards from me. I could hear her yell my name. Miss Amy Rose, the sweet and dangerous damsel in distress. She was drenched in rain water as she hung high in the air. I hope she doesn't get sick from being cold and wet. The beast screeched its horrid vocal chords as it sent its missiles towards me.

Dodge.

Dodge.

Dodge.

Is there ever anything new with Eggman's inventions? I chucked hard to myself. The propeller of Tails' plane fills my ears. He too was calling my name. Tails and Knuckles watched from above. Here comes the fourth missile. I use this missile to propel me in the air, and dart left to right on its followers. I could hear Amy louder and louder, I'm getting closer, just hold on. Here it was the hull of the machine. I forced myself with immense speed to run up the beast and defy gravity once more. Within a few seconds I couldn't defy gravity anymore so I jumped onto the arm hoisting Amy in the air. "Sonic!" She had tears flowing freely from her eyes.

"Don't worry Ames, you're safe now." I said with a huge grin. I balled my hand into a fist and smashed through the claw clamping her tight and pulled her into my arms. She buried her head into my fur and I calmed her down for a quick second. "It's not over yet." I picked her up into my arms and jumped off of the arm before the machine could react. I shot myself off like a rocket away from the beast. I held her tight for her assurance. I won't let them hurt her. She tightened her grip around my neck. When we landed on the ground, I set her down. "I want you to run as far as you can from here, okay Ames?"

"B-But, What about you?" She whispered. I rubbed her tear stained cheeks.

"Heh, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. I can deal with this and besides, I can catch up to you no matter how far you run." I said with a smile. Her eyes only spoke of worry more before she nodded. I turned around and shot off again with blasting speed. The machine launched missiles again. To think there would be some sort of surprise with the attacks. I repeated my last attempt on climbing the beast. Why trying to hop on the next missile I could feel the loss of my footing. Crap. The rain made everything so slippery. I fixed myself by propelling myself in the air. Once airborne I curled myself into defense and launched myself at the machine. Success. So easy. I ripped through the machine, injuring it fatally. The machine roared with immense decibels. My ears felt like death. I uncoiled myself to land and turned around. Direct hit. Sparks and small explosions spontaneously engulfed Eggman's creation. I picked my legs up and ran back towards the machine, jumping onto what would be the shoulder. My heart shattered as I felt my knees grow weak.

No. Amy didn't leave and this machine was going to explode. I jumped off and darted from corners of the machine to catch up to her. "Amy!" I yelled. How could she go against my wishes? I'll just have to give her a good talk when this is over. Once hitting the ground I burst into full speed to grab her. I could feel the heat sweat my back, the machine exploded. It was a race against fire. My legs pumped harder until the ground could no longer be felt. They were going numb. I can't give in to my legs; I forced them to obey me. Amy's expression of the blaze behind me hurt me. She should've ran when I told her to! I opened my arms to grab her. Success, right on target. I swooped her off her feet and kept running. I hear another explosion behind me. With all my knowledge on this, I knew the blaze behind me was stronger. Can I out run it? I shouldn't risk it. I forced myself to the dirt and used my body to shield Amy. I could hear her cries in my ear. "Don't worry." I whisper. There it was, the scorch across my back. The heat burned hard. The blaze passed us and left only heat. But it wasn't over. Debris was still flying. I picked off some of my body weight to give Amy some air. She forced her body up to see what was going on. Wrong move. I yelled her name as I sat up and slammed her onto the cold, hard ground. "What's wrong with you?!" I lecture. She screamed my name as she pointed out to the explosion. I turned to catch a quick glimpse of a stray sheet of metal whistling through the air, aimed at me.

Then I heard it. A gruesome crack, then nothing, just black...

As I woke back into consciousness, I hear her whimpers. As my body continues to regain its original alertness I could feel her breathing. Was she holding me? Her fingers held tightly on my head and brushed my ear as she rubbed her cheek on the top of my head. I attempted to move, but she stopped me. Then the pain. Oh if words could describe it. I felt my brain screaming. I groaned as my body grew limp. It was sheer, crisp pain. I pushed Amy away to tend to the source. My fingers twitched in fear as it scaled around a large piece of metal jutting out of my left eye. "Sonic, don't touch it!" I hear her say. Don't touch it? It doesn't belong there! But no, I can't frighten her. I crawled over and away. My lungs were filled with smoke, so I coughed hard. I opened my right eye to watch the blood spew around me from the black side of my vision. The taste filled my mouth and I wiped my lips. Blood everywhere. Amy ran over to me and pulled me to sit up. As she sat me up, I felt brave. I grabbed the sheet of metal etched into my skull and with all my force, ripped out of my face. I hollered in pain as I crashed my top half into the ground. Amy's arms snaked around me and tried to get me up but I pushed her away, hard. I could feel her body hitting the ground. I don't want to hurt her, but I can't have her smothering me like this.

I had to admit, I was a mess. I covered my left eye with my hand and turned to see if Amy was okay. I felt my heart sink into my stomach when I looked into her eyes. She was destroyed. She knew what she did. I don't want her to blame herself. She was soaked in my blood. How long was I out? Her hands covered her mouth as her tears mixed with the rain. No...

I forced myself to my feet. I could feel my legs beg for rest but I can't. I can't show her I'm hurt, she will destroy herself. I walked over to her and collapsed. Real smooth huh? I couldn't help it. My brain was yelling at me, my legs were swearing at me, and my heart was crying. No, I have to look strong, for her sake. I didn't make it better. I forced my head up to hers and smiled. "I'll be okay." I whispered. She shook her head 'no' before embracing me. Tails' plane filled my eardrums, he was near. Oh boy, how do I explain this?

I lost my left eye.

So yeah...Tell me what you think. Should this continue? Review please.
