Theme #58 - Enemies
Put simply, they were enemies, arch-rivals, foe, opponents, always going up against each other. Dr. Eggman would always set out to conquer the world with his latest brilliant plan, and it would be left up to Sonic to stop him. That's how it always happened, in a never-ending circle that could no longer be broken without the use of drastic measures.
Drastic situations, on the other hand, were a different story.
In the face of greater and far more pressing enemies, such as Perfect Chaos, Metal Sonic, and the Metarex, Sonic and Dr. Eggman found themselves on the same side, albeit unwillingly, to stop the imminent threat. For Sonic, it was just about saving the world and everyone around him, while Dr. Eggman simply doesn't like the senseless violence brought about. It could also be because if those enemies destroyed the world, there would be nothing left for him to conquer.
Once those threats were removed, though, the two went right back to being enemies themselves.
She had seen this feud firsthand, both from the sidelines and from inside the latest scheme, usually used as bait for Sonic after being kidnapped for the upteempth time, but it just never seemed to get old. It had been reduced to one of the normal, everyday things in their lives, yet still continued to possess an exciting flare that refused to go out.
Amy stood on the sidelines, mixed in with the broken concrete and singed metal that used to be her prison cell. Sonic was nearby, twisting and turning along the ground and in midair in an attempt to dodge the oncoming bullets and missiles from Eggman's latest creation. She knew that Tails and Knuckles would be showing up any minute now, the former there to escort her safely away from the present danger while the latter would join Sonic and dealing with that danger.
For now, though, she would stand here waiting, watching the battle that was the embodiment of everyday life and also the core of Sonic and Dr. Eggman's relationship.
