First fanfic with this penname. I didn't remember my old one so I had to restart. Hopefully I'll stick with this story, unlike before. Just for copyright reasons, I do not own any of the Sonic Team characters. I do, however, claim the rights of my OCs, Seraphy, and the ones to come later in the story. Er…. ENJOY!

Summary- It's been two years since anyone has seen Eggman after Sonic stopped him from unleashing the power in the center of the Earth. But no one has seen Sonic since then either, and no one really remembers him. Sonic has been spending his time with Amy, building a strong relationship with her. But when he decides to take the next step in the relationship, something happens, and Amy is taken away from him. Now he has to get her back with the help of new friends from a different world, and break the curse.

Prologue

"Amy." His voice was barely audible, a mere whisper. Passionate, filled with years of love and care (and a little bit of annoyance in some times), Sonic spoke. Nothing could describe what he felt right then. There he stood with one arm casually around Amy's waist, in a vacant valley on a cool June night. There was a gentle breeze swaying the emerald green leaves on the trees, keeping the two hedgehogs cool. Crickets chirped their soft songs in the background, sounding like a melody made just for the couple that stood there.

It had been over two years since anyone (except Tails, Knuckles, and Amy) had seen this streak of blue lightning sprint around in town. No one knew where he had gone, and according to Amy, who drifted into town every so often to shop, Sonic had been forgotten. However, this information did not anger him, or even slightly bother him. Although it sounded selfish of him, he didn't want people to always be running to him for help with every little thing.

After days of thought following his last rendezvous with Eggman, Sonic had given up his life of chasing down Eggman (and being chased by Amy, for that matter) to devote himself to Amy. No one had been ready for such a choice, even Amy had been caught off guard, and Sonic offered no explanation for what he chose.

Now, Sonic did not leave his world unprotected. Ever since Sonic had defeated Eggman when he tried to summon the power of the center of the Earth, no one has seen the slightest trace of Eggman. And even if he did manage to come back, Shadow, the ultimate life-form, could handle the task of defeating him time and time again.

"Sonic." Amy breathed next to him, bringing the blue wonder back to his senses. The way she spoke, and how her voice practically shook when she said his name, made Sonic smile to himself. Amy admitted countless times that even after all these years; she still couldn't believe that Sonic was finally hers.

She didn't really know how serious he had become over the two years in their relationship. He was two years older now, but seemingly years older when it came to wisdom and maturity. The arm that wasn't wrapped around Amy's waist as they stared out at the valley at the fireflies was tucked behind his back, and in his hand he held a small box. Yes, as many clichés would tell you, in his hand he held an engagement ring. He was ready for this step. Hopefully, so was she.

However, before Sonic could "pop the question" he had to have the right time to do so. Tails and Knuckles had insisted on being there as well, so he had to wait for them. In near silence they stood right next to each other, just enjoying the physical closeness.

Then there was a soft pop. Both of the hedgehogs looked around, and suddenly, Amy gasped and pointed at the sky. Fireworks were raining down the black night sky, neon green in color. If there was a better time to propose to his dream girl, Sonic didn't know what it was. Knuckles and Tails needed to hurry, before the fireworks were over or before Sonic lost the patience and asked anyway.

"Sorry we're late, Sonic, Knuckles got lost." Tails voice rang out behind them, and the yellow three-tailed fox slid out from the shadows of the trees that lined the valley. His voice was no longer as high pitched as many would remember, but it still had that childish tone to it that everyone had come to know and love. No one but Tails wanted him to grow out of that voice.

Behind him, Knuckles appeared, his red dreadlocks hanging shaggily from his head. His large hands, usually balled into tight fists when he was angry, hung at his sides in a relaxed manner. There was a lingering sense of anticipation hanging in the air; everyone but Amy knew what was about to happen, and what Sonic was about to ask her.

Or so they thought they knew what was going to happen.

Amidst the sound of the fireworks popping and crackling in the dark sky, no one heard the soft, idling hum of a flying machine only a ways behind them. There Eggman floated, watching the scene before him, eyes glistening with triumph. This was the perfect opportunity to unleash the master plan he had in his mind, however, he waited for the perfect moment. His eyes shot down to the ground beneath him, and there stood a lone figure.

The figure was a human man, about twenty-one years of age, with fiery-red hair and blood red eyes to match. His lips were pulled into a menacing smile as he watched the same scene Eggman was watching with anticipation. Timing was key, however, so he waited patiently. His hands were in his pockets, and he had a casual look about him, but the dark circles under his eyes made him seem a little more angry and intimidating when one looked at him.

"Amy," Sonic murmured softly, unaware of the audience that lingered so closely behind him and his friends, "I want to ask you something…" Before Amy could even glance in his direction, he was assuming the proposal position, on one knee, with the box in his hand, directed toward Amy. She gasped, and tears of joy filled the corners of her eyes as Sonic opened his mouth to speak. "Will you…"

However, he was cut off. The red-headed figure emerged from the shadows behind them, chuckling sinisterly and rather loud. Everyone turned to look in his direction, and Sonic scrambled to stand, and took a defensive position in front of Amy, one arm stretched out to keep her behind him. She didn't move, but only stared, the tears or joy already disappearing into anger. The perfect moment, the best moment of her life, had just been ruined by someone she didn't even know.

"Who are you?" She said weakly, her voice and body shaking with anger. The figure said nothing, but chuckled again and looked over his shoulder toward Eggman, coaxing him to make introductions. Eggman pushed a button and his hover machine drifted to be level with the figure.

"Eggman!" Sonic exclaimed, and then growled softly to himself. What a time for him to finally show up. "Who the hell is he and what the hell are you doing here?" Amy glanced at him with a surprised look on her face, seeing as Sonic never swore in front of her or Tails.

"This is Seraphy; my new partner." He rasped, and then cleared his throat. The figure, now known as Seraphy, glared in his direction, and then looked back at the group in front of him.

"Not partner. That would infer we had the same level of power. More or less, I'm his leader. My name is in fact Seraphy, but feel free to call me Raph." His voice was smooth like velvet, and his tongue rolled around each syllable smoothly, making it almost dazzling the way he spoke. He let out another soft, sinister chuckle, like that of Lucifer as he left heaven. "I have a feeling you and I are going to be quite acquainted, Sonic."

"What do you mean? What do you want?" Sonic snarled, muscles tensing beneath his coarse blue fur. Everyone else was speechless, and it seemed like they weren't even there. Seraphy's attention never drifted from Sonic's form.

"I want nothing out of you. It's Eggman that decided we should target you. But I must say, by the looks of you and your friends, you aren't a bad choice." Seraphy never looked away as Eggman's hover machine rose slightly, and Eggman let out an evil cackle.

"Do it Raph!" He exclaimed as he laughed, and the sinister smile on Seraphy's face grew wider. He lifted a hand slowly, and Sonic tensed even more, getting ready to leap at him. Seraphy saw this change in body language and laughed as loud and sinister as Eggman, only his was still so velvety.

"Try and stop me, Sonic. I dare you." Seraphy said quietly, but his voice seemed to echo loud enough for all to hear it. But before Sonic could even leap, Seraphy snapped his fingers, and at the sound, a blinding white light blinded Sonic. He could hear Amy and the others screaming, but he couldn't move to save them.

Suddenly, Sonic's world went black.

Hmmm… it seems short to me… I don't know… Also, as of right now the title doesn't make much sense, but it'll start coming together in Chapter 1. But, if you liked it, let me know. Quid pro quo. You review, I add more chapters. Even without reviews, I'll write for the heck of it, but it'll be slower. Plus, come on people, I like to reply to reviews and talk to people! Give me something to do!
