It's very obvious I don't own the Sega characters… keep in mind this story is not a sequel of Love has Second Chances. It is a completely different story. Anyway…enjoy and I'll try to make this story longer.
"Hey Tails, you pick up something on radar?" Sonic fidgeted in his seat on the X-Tornado. Normally he would prefer to ride on top, however the weather was not in his favor today and the rain continued to pour down like a waterfall. Sonic and Tails currently have six chaos emeralds, they were on a hunt for the last one. Tails started to feel a strong vibration from the plane engine (No, not just because it was moving). The last chaos emerald was not far.
Sitting behind Sonic was Amy. She'd grown into quite a young lady, now eighteen years old. Her quills were still pink as bubblegum, instead now they reached her shoulders. Her quills were not like other hedgehog quills. They were not sharp or rough and they didn't hurt to touch. No, they were soft like velvet. Smooth as the finest silk. Her face was simply beaming with energy. She tried to peer at the radar but couldn't see in front of Tails. Amy could feel her heart pounding with excitement. She would no longer allow herself to rely on her friends to rescue her. Today she would do anything she could to help. More than anything she was determined to prove that she could be worth more than just a hostage. As Tails lowered the plane they appeared to be nearing some kind of abandoned mining field. The ground was a blanket of ash and soot. One by one they stepped off of the plane. First Sonic of course, then Chris, followed by Knuckles, then Amy and Tails got off last taking a single chaos emerald out of the power generator. Tails held the green emerald up high in his palm. It glistened in the sunlight. As they made their way across the barren field their feet left a trail of footprints as if they were walking in the snow. Tails watched the emerald closely waiting and hoping for some kind of sign. It was like they were playing a game of hot and cold. "The last emerald has to be around here somewhere," said Tails optimistically. Sonic in hesitantly replied, "Don't worry, we'll find it!" The team's moral was high. "Yeah!" Amy shouted desperately trying to make it seem like she was apart of the team.
All of sudden the ground shook violently and behind them appeared a tall cactus shaped robot with a marigold color (guess who?). All eyes concentrated on it. There was a dead silence. Nobody moved for what seemed like an eternity. "Well? What are you waiting for hedgehog? Why don't you attack?" Eggman sneered with an obvious deceptive tone. Sonic's eyes only narrowed and he stood poised ready to dodge any hit that came. Finally Eggman could wait no longer, "Enough of this game! Attack Cactoron!" (I know the name is really original, tehehe sarcasm is fun) One of the needles on the robot launched like a rocket aiming for Sonic. He effortlessly dodged it. To confuse the cactus plant robot Sonic started jumping from one needle to the next. He soon became nearly invisible he was moving so rapidly. What happened next caught Sonic off guard. One of the needle like missiles launched, but instead of aiming towards him it suddenly jolted to the right. Amy now stood in the missile's line of fire. For a brief moment she stood there blankly, but then thought to herself, "Come on! Don't just stand there! Remember girl, you're not going to be Eggman's back up plan anymore. With only seconds to spare she pulled out her hammer and leaped out of the way. While in the air she threw her hammer like a boomerang toward the missile destroying it. She landed on the ground gracefully doing a little twirl. A proud smile displayed on her face. The victory was short lived. There were now dozens of missiles being aimed toward her all at once. Her hammer was ready again. She knocked each one down as it came near like she was in a batting cage. By now Sonic was at her side helping fight away as many as he could. Knuckles had now joined in too. Tails and Chris continued taking baby steps to see if the emeralds reaction increased, they had no doubt in their minds that the others could handle the overgrown cactus plant. When it seemed all missiles had been launched Amy paused from her swinging. Sonic was panting like a dog (no offense to dogs, I love dogs). While they were catching their breath they suddenly realized there was a single missile that they had missed. It blew to pieces in midair. Now exposed was an entrance to a dark underground mine that was most likely abandoned years ago.
