CHAPTER 2
"When will you wake, hedgehog?" a voice whispered in her ear urgently. "It is no longer safe here."
"Mm. Why not?" Amy mumbled, still mostly asleep. She shifted softly on the ground, trying to get comfortable despite the fact that Black Light was still trying to shake her awake.
"There are predators attracted to your stink." Black Light stated, his eyes scorching around them for clues to the intruders' location. "It appears your smell appeals to Pukas."
Amy was more awake by now. "Pukas?"
"Disgusting beasts. They like to play tricks on other beings."
"Meaning that they like to trick the Black Arms?"
"Sometimes."
Amy huffed. "Then why do you assume that I am attracting them?"
"You're the one who smells." Black Light sniffed. "We must leave now."
"If they only want to trick us, we're relatively safe. Let me sleep for a little while longer." Amy grumbled, curling back up on the ground.
"It's not the Pukas that I am worried about!" Black Light hissed, shaking Amy again. "It's the beasts that Pukas tend to attract!"
"…Are they dangerous?" Amy whispered.
Black Light only gave her a dark look, his third eye flashing. That was all it took for Amy to jump up and be ready to leave. Black Light led the way, quickly leaving the clearing behind. Amy's body was tense. Every little rustle made her shiver and every crack of a broken branch made her jump. The vampiric trees were really not helping to quell her fears. At least they stood a few feet away and not directly overhead.
Her eyes left the trees only to settle on Black Light. He walked on all four legs but Amy believed that he could walk on only his hind legs, too. He barely made a sound compared to Amy's loudly crunching footsteps.
'You know, from the back, Black Light could almost pass for a giant teddy bear.' Amy thought, then giggled. 'Too bad he's a giant killing machine instead.' Her eyes stared at the monstrous claws. Amy decided right then and there that she was lucky Black Light was nice. Well. Nice enough not to kill her right away.
"You won't find the other Black Arms as kind as me." Black Light said, just loud enough for her to hear.
Amy blinked. "Excuse me?"
Black Light stopped walking and looked behind him over at Amy. "My kind do not take kindly to other species. Especially ones from another planet. At best, they will see you as a slave."
Amy's face scrunched up in bitter disgust at that. "Are you serious? Then what will happen to me?"
"I will try to convince my father to allow you to be a slave. That will be the best for you."
"And if he doesn't allow it?"
"Then let us hope he won't kill you."
His words were void of emotion. Amy stared at him in disbelief as fear locked her body in place.
"You're leading me to my possible death? Enslavement?!" Amy's voice rose. "You said you wouldn't hurt me!"
"Yes." Black Light's voice was cautious now. "Because you are now a prisoner of the Black Arms race. You have intruded on our planet and until the king seals your fate on our planet, I am not allowed to harm you."
Amy's eyes watered in pain.
'There goes my only possible ally. Great! I'm doomed.' Amy thought. She summoned her hammer and took a battle stance. 'If I'm going to die, I'm going to die fighting. Stupid Black Arms race and stupid Sonic for not coming to my rescue. I don't care if I'm on a different planet! He's supposed to be a hero isn't he?!'
She swung her hammer desperately, letting it bullet through the air towards Black Light. It never hit its target. A blur of black and Amy was back to staring at that bloody third eye. It was dancing with mirth and excitement.
'Sheesh.' Amy thought. 'Black Arms sure are bloodthirsty.'
Those were her last thoughts until she blacked out from a single blow from one of Black Light's paws.

When Amy came to this time, she felt like she had a thunderstorm partying in her brain. It was a very unwelcome feeling. At least she remembered something important during her time in darkness. The Black Arms race. That was the same race that had tried to take over Earth or something a few years ago. And Shadow the Hedgehog was somehow connected to them. Or something like that.
That or she was knocked out really badly and it had messed with her head. She didn't think she could think straight right now.
"Ugh. If I have to faint every day for the rest of my life, just kill me now." Amy grumbled as she sat up and rubbed her head.
"Then this may be a splendid discussion." Someone rumbled darkly.
Amy looked up to find herself staring at Black Doom and all his evil glory. There were black crystals surrounding him like a throne but without a place to sit and silver weaved like spider webs in a strangely beautiful design that reached across to every little crevice in the black room. There were no windows, only guards. No place to escape.
"Let me guess. You're going to kill me if I don't accept whatever disgusting deal you came up with." Amy said; her voice unwavering and fearless. However, on the inside, Amy's brain screamed at her to start crying and begging for mercy. Stupid brain.
"Correct! But perhaps I will just kill you for your insolence, little hedgehog." Black Doom started to float closer to her.
"Soooorrrrryyyy." Amy drawled, not sounding sorry at all. "I just woke up from getting knocked out mere hours after fainting. I think my brain lost the capacity of thinking respectfully. Besides! It's not like it would help me any way. You already made up your mind, didn't you!" Her finger traitorously pointed at Black Doom.
'I am so dead.' Amy's brain cried.
'Yeah, well. I think I died the moment we magically transported here.' Amy thought back to her distressed brain. 'I'm already nuts. I'm talking to my own brain for goodness sakes!'
Black Doom laughed. "You. You are quite funny."
"Huh?" Amy's jaw dropped. She just made the king of an evil alien race laugh. Man, this was a crazy day.
"I might keep you around for a little while longer, Pink." He chuckled again at his brilliantly thought-up nickname for his new pet.
Amy threw up her hands in defeat. "Did I miss something here?" she demanded. "What the heck happened when I blacked out?"
"Not much. You might be suffering from going some time without breathing though." Black Light's familiar (when the heck did his voice become familiar to her?) voice spoke up from among the many guards stationed along the walls.
"Repeat?" She squeaked.
"It was faster this way. After I knocked you out, I just took you and ran straight through the forest to get here. Your pathetic lungs were unable to get the oxygen it needed for you to breathe properly." Black Light stated calmly as if didn't risk her life in order to do exactly that.
"Well, no wonder I can't think straight! I was lacking oxygen for god knows how long!" Amy spat furiously in his direction.
"You seem perfectly fine to me." Black Light pointed out. "You're fine enough to throw a childish tantrum."
"It's not a childish tantrum! It's—It's a very manly tantrum!" Amy shouted, curling her hands into fists and stomping her foot on the ground—exactly like a pouting child.
"Yes. It is very manly to stomp your foot and pout."
Amy glared heatedly at him.
Black Doom laughed again. "Yes, I shall keep you as my pet, Pink."
"My name is Amy. "she grumbled, shooting Black Doom a glare, too.
"I like Pink better."
Amy opened her mouth to complain but then stopped. Black Doom was an evil king, the ruler of the Black Arms race. And he had just spared her life in a very odd way. Was it really smart to make him change his mind? Of course, not! Better keep her mouth closed.
Amy sighed in relief. "Thank goodness I'm starting to think smart, again."
"Didn't know you could." Black Light couldn't help but say.
Amy glared at him again. "Don't you start." She growled menacingly.
Black Doom waved a hand and a servant appeared.
"Take my new pet to one of Black Light's rooms. Set her up in there." He ordered.
"Yes, my king."
"Father!" Black Light protested. "Why one of mine? Wouldn't it be better to have her closer to your personal quarters?"
"Nah. I have a way to hear everything that goes on in your rooms. It will be much more interesting to keep her close to you." Black Doom smirked and left the room.
Black Light stared in disbelief and annoyance at the closed door. "Stupid old fool." He muttered.
Amy blinked unimpressed. At least she knew she didn't have a perverted 'master'. She found that single fact a great relief. That and the fact that she wasn't a slave.
She was Black Doom's pet.
Eh. Slave or pet? Was being a pet better than being a slave?
"Hey. Which is better? Slave or pet?" Amy asked.
Black Light huffed in annoyance. "You tell me."
Amy thought about it for a moment. "What do I have to do as a pet?"
"Apparently, it is to annoy me for the next few decades or so."
Amy grinned. "Then I say being a pet is better."
"Of course you do." Black Light muttered darkly. Sulking, he crept away from the throne room—as Amy had come to call it.
yEAH... so...
