Episode 1: The Eggstar

The Story starts with Sonic and his pals as they make for an all-out offensive towards the

Death Egg XII...

"Eggman! You won't get away!" He grabbed a few rings as he headed through a gravity pulling device.

Amy and Cream take the far left-side and find a path leading to the bridge room.

"Sonic, I'll Hack into the system's main programing unit to stall for more time! We still don't know all the way what Eggman is exactly up to."

Tails then began uploading a link towards Dr. Eggman's computer networking systems.

At the Bridge, Eggman could hear crackling coming from a nearby machine. The Echidna tore a hole through it and jumped out before turning to Eggman with his spiky fists pointing right at his face.

Amy and Cream came in from the room on the far left corner using an air duct from the cieling of the room. Within a few more short moments, Sonic the hedgehog himself had also arrived at the scene.

"Ho ho ho! So you think you've got me into a corner? My plan is far from finished."

"Tails! Do it now!" Cream called from the radio. "Got it. Launch Berserker mode."

Eggman tries to push a few buttons but then gets an error message, "Warning! No entry without Authorization. Please input Passowrd." It repeats this and while Eggman is distracted, Amy turns to Sonic and wraps her arms around his right-arm, "Sonic, I know this isn't the time or place but...I was thinking after this is all done, Maybe we could settle down and..."

Sonic turned to Cream, "Cream, Take Amy and get out of here. Tails, Set the Self-destruct Sequence for this place, We're out of here."

Eggman slammed his fist on the conrtol panel, "Why isn't it working? Argh, Piece of junk. No matter! I always have a Plan B. Shadow! Come forth!"

Shadow came up using an Elevator shaft from the next room. "What is it, Doctor?"

"Take care of these pests! Remember our deal we made."

"Of course.. Hmph." Shadow brung out all 7 Chaos Emeraulds.

Amy finally couldn't take anymore of being ignored, pushed aside and left behind. She took otu her hammer and swung it as hard as she could at Sonic, "Why don't you just admit it?"

Sonic got up, Charged a spindash at Amy and pinned her down to the ground,

"I shouldn't have to admit to anything, Amy. You want to know how I honestly feel about you? Alright, I'll tell you that I...I Hate you. You annoy me Everyday with the same question since we first met about how you've always fantisized dating me or even marriage, But I don't have time for those things or even You. Everytime we meet, You either end up getting captured by Eggman over there, Or the situation becomes worse than it already was before, I Hate you, Alright? You are the most annoying girl I have met on the face of mobius and I wouldn't want to be with you if you were the last girl on Mobius! That's exactly how I feel."

He got up and turned to Cream, "Cream, What are you waiting for, Take Amy and get out of here, Now!" Cream was hesitant but said nothing for a moment until as she was helping Amy up, "You did not really have to say it all like that, Mr. Sonic..." She bit her lip but Sonic turned to Eggman with his mind focused once again on his Back up plan.

Shadow chuckled, "You have a lot of ways for doing things, Sonic the hedgehog."

"Nevermind it, Just hand over the Chaos Emeraulds Shadow, and there won't be any problems."

"Eggman has granted me the power to surpass you. Rouge, Bring up the Master Emerauld and place it in the Console, On the roof of the Death Egg."

"Copy that, Shadow. I have just arrived from Angel Island. It seems that ignorant Echina wasn't gaurding it today."

Sonic and Knuckles turn to eachother and head for the roof of the Death Egg but the back way is blocked off by Eggman's Security bypass. "Well Sonic, I believe I should say this to you, If my ship goes down, I'm taking you and all of your friends with it. Shadow, Launch the Eggstar!"

"As you wish." Shadow warps to the seven console altars on the top of the ship.

Placing the 7 Chaos Emeraulds into the consoles setup on the small altar-like machines, a slight spark began to generate. Rouge had used a crane from one of 's machines and placed the Master Emerauld down at the center, inside a bigger console.

"Self-Destruct Sequence has been engaged. Ten Minutes until Self-destruction of Death Egg XII." The Computer began the countdown. Amy got up and limped over towards Eggman. She typed in a code and reset the data that was in fact an access code used by Tails. "Security alert canceled. Resuming auto-networking." The Computer's code turned back to Blue.

Tails bit his lip before staring Amy down, "Amy, Why? We were so close!"

Cream turned to the Air duct, "Mr. Sonic, There is an air duct open from here. I bet it can take you to the skydecks of the ship, near the roof."

"Way to go, Cream! Alright. Tails, Eggman's all yours. Knuckles, I'm assuming you've got Rouge so I'll leave her to you, But you leave Shadow to me."

"Doctor, The Eggstar needs a little time to Charge. Once the energy from the Chaos Emeraulds and the Master Emerauld are completely absorbed, You should get a massive energy reading from your power level meter on your computer. When it is ready, Give the word."

"But the Fire button is where I am at, Shadow. I've got something new in addition to this."

Dr. Eggman turns to Amy and helps her up, "Hehehe, It looks like Sonic still won't accept you. Why don't you join me. You can have Shadow if you want."

Amy didn't even bother looking towards Sonic as she took Eggman's hand, "Hold me hostage and don't let me out. I'm all yours. I will not resist." She drops her hammer to the floor.

Tails' mouth dropped open, "Amy! What are you doing?"

"Something I should've just done a long time ago. Sonic has opened my eyes today. I am nothing more than a thorn at his side. I know what he said was harsh but, I can accept that. More importantly...Now that my eyes are open..."

*Bleep, Bleep, Bleep, Bleep, Bl~~~~~p* Eggman checks the Power level on the energy reading from the computer, "Hohoho! Shadow, This is it. I'm ready. Charge up the laser and Aim it at the earth!"

Tails could no longer watch this and decided to intervien. Amy turned immediately to Tails and stopped him. "Out of the way, Amy! You know, You shouldn't let Sonic talk you down like that. You forget one thing strong about Sonic: His attitude. If you want him, You should try talking him down like he does you. It sounds like you are joining with Eggman, But you wouldn't do that even if he did hurt your feelings."

"My feelings don't matter to him, Tails. It is as I said before, My eyes are finally open, I was once blind, That Amy is no more. Now I see. But If I can't have Sonic, No one will!"

She shoves Tails back and a hot laser wall shoots up from the ground. "Darn it...Great, That's just great. Now I can't get through!"

Amy turns to Dr. Eggman, "Dr. Eggman, Let me fire the Eggstar. Aim it right at Mobius."

Dr. Eggman raised an eye, "I normally don't take orders from Anybody, But...Hmmm, Yes, very well, veerry well. Give it a try, Amy."

He gets up out of his Chair, which is so tall, Amy had to literally stand on top of the chair in order to press the fire button.

"Shadow! This is Amy!"

"What? What's going on?"

"I pressed the Fire button. Don't worry, I'm on yourside now. Sonic and Knuckles are heading your way. Expect them to try to foil the Doctor's plan once again."

"Hmph, So even you would turn on that hedgehog. Everyone already knows that you love him."

"That love is blind. I realise...There is another way to win Sonic's heart and it isn't by force."

"Stop reading magazines! They don't make sense anymore."

"I don't read magazines, I read this new book I baught yesterday afternoon. It is at home but, It is called "Paths of Love". I realised that after the book didn't work and, Sonic only grew to hate me more, I decided this time, I would go with my own intuition."

Rouge snatches the radio away and shuts it off, "Shadow, don't mind Amy. Sonic and Knuckles are here."

Conclusion: uh oh, Sonic and Knuckles have been expected by both Amy and Rouge. Is this really betrayal on Amy's Part? Or is there a little more to her intuition than just the way it sounds? And How will Sonic and Knuckles stop the Energy from the Eggstar that is about to Fire and Obliterate all of mobius? Find out next time in the next exciting episode of Project: ZETA.

Well, What do you think about it so far? I'll be making the Chapters/Episodes a little longer sometime. Anyways, please R&R and tell me what you think, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for reading...
