Disclaimer: I don't own the Sonic characters…but I do own Key, Melody, Jaymal and maybe a few others that will appear later.
Second chapter iz up! I'm going to work ahead on some of these so I can get a chapter up every week at least. In my last story my update times were a bit unpredictable…ranging from a few days to three weeks. Oh yeah…as I've said countless times, don't forget to review!

Jaymal snapped awake, slamming his hand down on the arm of his chair as he thought angrily, "You think you're so clever, Key, don't you, trying to haunt my dreams. But I know your main weakness…since your little girlfriend somehow survived…so I wouldn't get so cocky if I were you…" Smirking, he pushed himself from his chair, summoning two more of his guards. "I want you to seek out Melody take her prisoner. I want her alive."
They saluted and took off.

Amy excitedly chatted with Cream. "I just can't wait. Maybe this will be the thing we're looking for to help Shadow be happier!"
Cream grinned, helping Cheese decorate a cake she baked earlier that day. As she neatly drew petals on a flower with a small tube of blue frosting, she answered, "I hope so. But you deserve some happiness too, Amy. I can't wait until he or she is born."
Amy smiled, leaning against one of the counter's in the kitchen of Cream's house. She could always trust Cream to be so understanding and caring, a fact which encouraged her to confide almost anything in her. She glanced at the cake, marveling in Cream and Cheese's artistic abilities. The cake was three levels tall, each level reduced in size and slathered thickly and yet neatly with vanilla icing. Cream was decorating the sides with blue and pink flowers.
Cream finished with the blue frosting and proceeded with adding green vines in between the evenly spaced flowers as she asked, "Have you thought of any good names yet, Amy?"
Amy shook her head, "Not yet…but I'll think of some tonight. Maybe you can help me." She heard slight rustling outside the window, "I thought I heard something, did you?"
Cream nodded, "Maybe it was just the wind…"'
Amy shook her head, "I would have heard the wind chime you have outside…it wasn't just the wind…" She glanced around, taking a few deep breaths. "Maybe it's nothing…" she murmured. As she turned, movement caught her eye and the sound of the fluttering of wings met her ears. "Angels…" she said aloud.
"What?" Cream asked, following Amy's gaze to the starry lit sky and yet seeing nothing.
"Oh, remember when I went on that adventure to the Angel Realm?" Amy asked her, "I thought I heard an angel…but I don't know if it's a friend or foe…"
"I think it would be exciting to meet an angel." Cream answered, returning to her cake and adding the finishing touches. She squirted a little bit of frosting onto her finger, sampling the sweet mixture before adding, "Well, as long as it was a nice angel." Cheese agreed.
Amy sighed but managed a smile as she thought, "I'm not even sure I have any angel friends left. I never found out what happened to Melody or Key…"
Cream squirted a whole glob of the frosting in Cheese's mouth and he started bouncing around on a super sugar high. "CHAO CHAO CHAO!" he sang happily, flying straight into the window frame and falling into the bushes below.
"Cheese, are you alright?" Amy asked, looking down into the leaves. She screamed as someone shot upwards in a flutter of wings, knocking her backwards.
"HEY YOU IDIOT!" Amy screamed, falling flat on her back and leaping up, immediately regretting that swift motion as her stomach gave a sharp stab of pain in protest.
"Amy, are you alright?" Cream asked, a bit preoccupied with the angel that hovered near the window, watching them. "Wow…a real live angel…" she thought, picking up Cheese who lay dazed on the floor nearby.
"Calm down, calm down." The angel whispered soothingly, perching on the window sill and saying, "You may not recognize me; in fact, you probably won't recognize me unless you were psychic. But anyways, I want you to listen carefully to what I have to say. I don't have much time, I know for a fact that Jaymal has sent angels out to find you and the rest of your friends and I can only exist in the real world for only a little while longer." He paused, "That baby that's due in a while, believe it or not, may possess the power needed to save both your realm and the angel realm."
Amy's eyes widened.
"There isn't really a way to know for sure until it's born, but I'm willing to bet everything on it. So be careful, Jaymal might send someone to kidnap the kid." He continued, "But you're formidable enough with that hammer of yours so I have full confidence in you. But I have a favor to ask…" he trailed off.
Amy thought a moment, "What is it? I can see if I can help."
He hesitated for a moment, "Get the gang together again, including Melody, she's alive, in the angel realm. I don't know where, but I want you to get everyone to safety."
"Wait." Amy exclaimed as he turned to leave, "Who are you? And how do you know all this!"
He smiled at her, "A friend…you might know me as Key…" He vanished, leaving Amy staring at the open window in disbelief.
"Wow…" Cream finally whispered, breaking the silence, "I finally saw what an angel looked like." Cheese sat down on her lap, exhausted now.
"We have to find Shadow, Melody, and Lizzey…" Amy suddenly murmured, "They're needed…I can't believe that we'll play a part in the destiny of a whole realm of angels..."

A group of angels swooped down lower, analyzing the small street of a village, quickly finding the right house with their keen eyesight. The leader motioned for them to land on the roof and they stood a moment, spreading their wings slightly for balance, and searched for possible entrances.
A large, brown-winged angel motioned towards a window with his hand, nodding to the others. He leapt down, climbing through only to be greeted by the whistling of wind towards his head. The last thing he remembered was a pink hedgehog standing over him, hammer in her hand as if she had been anticipating his arrival.
The same fate awaited each and every other angel that tried to enter. As the last fell to the floor, Cream peeked out from her hiding place and asked, "Is it safe?" Cheese sat on her head anxiously.
Amy nodded with a small smile, already dragging them one by one out the door and into the dumpsters. "They'll have a shock when they wake up." She commented, slamming them shut and making sure that the next day was garbage day.
Cream giggled and asked, "Amy, when you go to the Angel Realm? Can I come?"
"Of course, Cream! I wouldn't dream of leaving you behind!" She exclaimed. "Nor Cheese either."
"Thanks…" she murmured in reply before suggesting, "Why don't we go inside and finish the cake…then we can all enjoy a slice."
