Chapter two.

Amy woke with a sore head, groaning, she sat up and mentally checked herself for any broken bones. Finding none, she went to take off her boots only to find them gone. On her feet were a pair of tacky leg-warmers.

"Wha--? W-where's my..Oh my gosh! Where are my clothes!?" Jumping up, she looked down at herself, all she was dressed in was a grey jumpsuit." My clothes?!"

" Hey there, cutie." Said an oddly familiar voice.

"Huh?"

" I hope you don't mind the wardrobe change, Miss Rose. But you see, it's all part of my plan to rid myself of Sonic the Hedgehog. We don't want him getting confused now, do we?" Eggman and his guest walked into the Brig, Amy gasped and covered her mouth. "I know, I know..shocking is it? I have surpassed myself this time. In a matter of days, that pendent you stole from me will be mine. With it, I will bring back the ultimate creature.. and then he will be my slave!"

" You..you don't mean..."

" Uh-huh, " He shivered with delight, " Oohh, I just tingle all over."

"Sonic won't fall for your plan, you..you..crum-bum!"

"Oh perfect, perfect ! My dear?"

There was a moment of static and then," Sonic is to fall for plan, Sonic is a crum-bum."

Eggman giggled with glee, Amy just hung her head.

Mystic Ruins--Tails' Workshop. (Above ground.)

Uncle Chuck twiddled with the knobs on the radio transmitter, " C'mon, c'mon... Oh there!.. No ! C'mon, Chuck, pull yourself together.." He worked out a kink in his neck, strapped on his headphones and twiddled the knobs and switches again.

Tails poked his head in, "How's it coming?"

The elderly hedgehog sighed, " Something is blocking the signal. Everytime I get a little closer, a power surge causes the spy cameras to shut down." He turned in his seat, " How's Sonnie-boy doin'?"

Tails rubbed the back of his neck, " Well..."

------------

Training Rooms 1 2 ( Below ground.)

"Okay, Carla. Listen carefully now, do that swift kick again, but this time keep that other arm in tighter against your body." Knuckles righted the dummy and nodded to Carla to take her turn.

"Okay, Knuckles." She took a running start, twisted her lower body and flicked her leg out, connecting with the dummy's stomach. " Hi-yah!" She screamed as she landed an almighty punch to the dummy's chest. A little too almighty, " Uh- oh!"

The dummy broke off its stand, flew across the room, through the small window that divided the rooms, into the next room where Sonic was training. " AAAaaahhh--AAGGHH!" There came a crash--bang--wallop! as Sonic fell from the climbing wall and landed with a bump, " Oomphh!"

The walls shook as Sonic stormed around to their section, he kicked the door in, Carla's dummy drapped over his shoulder. " Hey! Who's the wise guy?"

Knuckles hid behind some spare mats, while Carla stepped forward happily waving her hand, " It's mine, Uncle Sonic ! Knuckles has been helping me improve my kickboxing skills. Are you impressed?"

"Well...Carla, " Sonic dropped the dummy onto the floor, " Do me a favour, eh? Next time, do your kickboxing someplace else or I'm gonna give you a box 'round the ears! Understand!?" He stormed out again, slamming the door behind him.

Knuckles crawled out of his hiding place, "Whew! That was a close one, Carla. Okay, lets try that move again, but this time on a moving target. I'll pretend to come at you and you knock me back. Take a running start like before, Okay?"

She nodded, "Gotcha!"

As she walked to the other side, Knuckles noticed his shoe was untied, " Aw nuts! Hang on, Carla..Don't go--"

" Go? Okay, here I come!"

"No Carla, wait!!" He dived out the way as Carla came at him at full speed. She soared over his head, through the small window and smack into Sonic." Uh, Ca--Carla?"

"AAGGGHHH!!" Sonic's screamed rocked both training room walls, " Caz, I love you to bits, but right now,you are really starting to tick--me--off !!" Carla scrambled back into her training room, narrowly avoiding Sonic's shoe that was aimed at her head. " And stay out!!"

----------------------------

They gathered around the big table,Tails and Carla on one side, Sonic and Knuckles on the other, with Chuck at the head. Sonic tapped his fingers on the wooden surface, bored .

" Sonnie, I have it. I know how you can get inside Eggman's base without setting off too many alarms."

Sonic brightened, " Cool! Let's have it, Unc. My feet are just itching to hit that ol' dirt road."

Chuck sniggered," You won't be going by road, boy. But by air!" He laid out the blue-prints of the base, " According to the blue-prints, the electrical interferences start here- at level twelve, and stop here at level sixteen. Tails will drop you into here, this airvent at level fourteen." Pointing at a tiny x on the paper, he drew his finger along to another x at the middle of the base, " I've worked out that the prison cells are here. If anywhere, that's where Eggman is keeping Amy."

" Cool. When do we go?"

Carla raised her hurt hand, " What 'bout those robots I told you about? What if Uncle Sonic runs into them?"

"They won't be a problem, if Sonic's not a problem. I'm working on a programme with Glory that should de-roboticize them." He looked sad for some reason, " I never should've invented that infernal mechine!" He sat down with a thump.

"Unc?"

" It's all my fault, Sonnie. In my world, I invented the Roboticizer as a way of helping older people live longer. But Robotnik--my Robotnik-- stole the plans before he took over. When I stumbled into this world through the space-time rift, Eggman captured me thinking I was you in disguise. He scanned my brain, and--and..."

Sonic raced form his chair to comfort his uncle, " It's ok..it's ok..you couldn't help it.." He gave him a hug, after a while Chuck nodded and took off his glasses to wipe his eyes, " Carla ? Will you take Unc to the kitchens for some hot chocolate?" Carla nodded and led Chuck away, one arm wrapped around his shoulders, rubbing his back. Sonic turned to his buddies," Alright team. Knuckles, you stay here, give Carla computer back-up. Tails, you're with me.

They nodded. Tails and Sonic went to the hanger where Tails' plane- The Tornado- was waiting. Knuckles stayed up top, ready to give them the green light for the drop. They had a damsel to save.

-----------------------

Sitting in her cell on the bench, Amy sang softly to herself, " Born free, 'til somebody caught me..." Suddenly there came a soft thump nearby, and then...

" Pst, Amy? Amy where are you?"

" Sonic?" She ran to the bars,a big smile on her face, it fell as Sonic walked into view. " Oh ,you shouldn't have come for me! Eggman's bound to find you, just leave me here,save yourself."

"What? No way!" He took out a credit card form his back-pack ,slipped it into the reader by the door that bleeped its acceptence. The door opened, he held his hand out to her, " We leave together."

With tears in her eyes, she hugged him once she was free in a bone-crushing hug. " But how do we get out?" She pulled away and smoothed down her red jumper and matching camouflage trousers. Sonic gave her a quick once over, " Something wrong?"

"What? No! It's just..I've never seen that outfit before..is it new?"

She blushed, " You only saw my head in the screens--" She stopped and looked around her cell, " Oh, Oh! That no goodnik! He's stole my backpack, it had all my things in it, I bet he's destroyed now!" She patted her hands together, her face paled, her eyes filled with worry, " Oh...noo !" She wailed, " I can't feel my hammers anymore!"

Sonic folded his arms across his chest, " I bet Eggman did something to you, but don't worry, Amy. He did it before and you remembered how to call them. You'll get the hang of it again."

She sighed deeply, " I hope so..."

------------------

Bursting out of the base, Sonic ,with Amy in his arms, dodged the flying Mechs hovering around the ware-houses. They entered an empty building and Sonic peeked through the broken window. Seeing two of the robots come their way, he yelped and fell to the floor, dropping Amy by accident,who hit her head on the wall behind her.

"It's cool," He said after a while, " they've gone. Hey, are you ok?"

Amy rubbed the back of her head, giving him a pained smile, she nodded. " I'm fine, really.." She cozied up to him and kissed his cheek, " Thank you for coming to my rescue, Sonic. It was very brave of you."

" Erm..n-no problem..r-really. Uh, Amy?" He tried to edge away, but Amy held on fast. "Erm..." She started rubbing his arms softly,tilting her head to one side, she gave him a flirty smile. Now, is not the time, you need to get out of here! " Erm..A-Amy..?"

She shivered, suddenly she looked scared, she dropped his arm as if was a digusting thing. " I don't like here, can we go home now? Please?"

Sonic grinned and stood, taking her into his arms, he waited for her to settle and said, " Sonic Express at your serivce ma'am. Next stop--Mystic Ruins." He revved up and they took off, Amy screamed and hung on, burying her head against his shoulder, scared out of her wits. They left a cloud of dust in their wake.

------------

Back in his base, Eggman sat back in his chair with a smile on his face. " That's it , Sonic.. Run home with your sweetheart. You might've broken the video-link, but that shouldn't be a big problem." He pressed a button on the consoles, " Sliver Shadow, ready The Scrambler, if my cousin is as smart as me--which I highly doubt-- we should prepare to slip away undetected to The ARK at a moments notice." He gazed at one of the many screens showing the different areas of his base, upon finding the right one, he giggled madly. " Aaahh, true love, you gotta love it!! AAHH-HHAA-HA!"
