Warning for this chapter, there's actually a bit of a song... It's "I'm The Bad Guy" from Wander Over Yander, with the edit of a part of Just Gold. So... Yeah, disclaimer for that...

Disclaimer: I don't own the song that's sorta-kinda used in this chapter.


Sonic's head quickly turned to the pink hedgehog named Amy Rose, that was standing in the way of the Blue Blur's target, and the blinding white ball of energy that was between his peach-colored hands. He never realized that when he went into his Super Dark form, that his gloves tore except for the cuff of where they folded around his wrists.

"A-Amy...?" Sonic realized that he was distracted from his target, and an angry look crossed over the azure male's face. "Amy! Get out of the way! I'm going to end her! And make her feel what Knuckles felt like! I'm going to make her pay! So get out of my way or I'll blast you too!"

"Sonic... We both know you won't do that..." Amy tried to reason with him, but without knowing, she was giving Darkflame time to make a new plan.

Shadow kicked Sonic in the back of the head and smirked, jumping away.

"Hahahaha! Your blue hero can't save you now..."

"GET READY ROSE!"

Darkflame threw the box from before at Amy, and before it could hit her, she put her arms up waiting for something to happen. Instead of it trapping Amy Rose, it trapped Sonic inside of a cage-like box. The blue blur struggled to get out. While he hated the fact he was in a cage, he didn't regret taking it instead of letting it happen to Amy. The rose-pink hedgehog stared at Sonic, as his power was temporarily drained, and his midnight blue pelt turned back to the normal azure of the blue hero's original color. She took out her Piko hammer and hit the box as hard as she could, and with each hit, a crack formed, but quickly disappeared before the next impact. Over and over the rose hedgehog tried to break the Blue Blur out of his cage. Darkflame and Shadow watched, both smiling with satisfaction. Tails, Cream, Blaze, Silver, Vanilla, and the Chaotix ran onto the scene, and all watched in pity for a moment before turning to look at the dark duo that caused the hero to be caged.

Before anyone said a thing, Sonic spoke up in a weak voice.

"You... Dirty... Bastard... Shadow... H-how could you do this? I th-thought we were finally... f-fr-friends... And you..." Sonic pointed at Darkflame with an accusing finger, and hate cascading from him in an aura, trying to go back to his Dark form, but failing miserably. "You're the reason... That Shadow is like this... Aren't you?!" Sonic growled and bared his teeth for the living fireball to see his hatred for her.

Darkflame just laughed and smiled, kneeling in front of him on the other side of the cage.

"No you moron... I'm not at fault for Shadow being evil... He's at fault for me being this way... And to say the least? I'm glad that he and that distracted doctor found me. Before you did... Because I've been waiting ever since I left my home to find somewhere to be the villain... Instead of the damned damsel in distress... It feels good..." Darkflame softly held the blue blur's face in her hands before letting go and walking to the other side of the cage, standing beside Shadow.

"Besides... Even if I was on your side... I wouldn't stay there... Because I'd just wind up being the damsel in distress again. Being a princess is more stressful than you might think. The girl that every prince wants to save, that every woman despises because of their jealousy that I get more attention than them unless they try to kill me..." She moved her wrist in a circular motion. "So on... You get the idea, right? Or are you that stupid?"

"Just... Wh-who the hell do... You th-think you are..?!" Sonic hissed at the girl, who was acting very confident in her plan, and her achievement of defeating the blue blur for a temporary time.

"I'm not the damsel in distress. I'm not your girlfriend or the frightened princess..." She appeared in front of him, and circled around him inside the cage. "I'm not the little bird who needs your help to fly... Nope! Heheh, I'm the bad guy! Those former villains that you knew... Most have trembled on their knees, and knelt before me!"

Sonic growled and rolled his eyes.

"I'm not your friend, or your partner... What am I?!" Her tail swayed under his chin as she looked at Shadow, Tails and Silver.

"She's the bad guy!" Shadow said it more enthusiastically, while Tails and Silver said it sadly.

"Hahaha! It's magic to watch a planet die... Oh it's thrillin'! To be a villain! I destroy their lives... And watch them cry!" Darkflame smirked and appeared on top of the cage, and flipped to the ground. "'Cause I'm the bad guy!"

Shadow appeared behind Amy, scaring her quickly. "I used to not be that bad of a guy, I'm just a bit surprising. It's not worth losing hope, it's not worth a thing actually. There used to be a time ago, where I used to be like you... But now I'm actually a really bad guy..."

"Isn't it amazing...?! I see something... I BLAST IT! Like I did your friend..." When saying "I Blast it", Darkflame shot a fireball at a very expensive-looking vase that shattered into pieces. Amy shrieked.

"You know, I've always had a weakness for darkness and bleakness... See, I find this business rather fun... I'll destroy your planet and bid you bye-bye! Why?! Come on... GUESS!" Darkflame turned into her Demon's Dark form, her dark form, but more demonic, with wings,

Silver, Tails, Amy, and the others flinched back at Darkflame's devilish form.

"'Cause your th-the bad guy?!"


Darkflame laughed maniacally as she turned back to normal, and wrapped her arms around Shadow's neck and tilted her head back. "Well, girl. Hahahaha!"

Shadow smiled as he put his arms around her waist and kissed her. Both faces flushed with a deep pink before the pairs of ruby orbs looked at each other with a dazed feel. The green-aura extended from the flame-colored girl to her ebony partner in crime. Darkflame pushed him away quickly and a green light came from her hand and the cage that held Sonic shrunk in size, and a wall of black surrounded the others.

Before they knew it, Amy, Silver, Blaze, Tails, The Chaotix, Cream, and her mother Vanilla were in the middle of a wheat field, but instead of the light brown plant surrounding everything, it was burning, and badniks, robots, and hundreds of thousands other of Eggman's robotic creations surrounded them. They looked up and saw Rouge, Darkflame and Shadow in the Eggmobile, but it wasn't the eggmobile, it was something ten times more sinister, fitting the driver and passengers.


Surrounded by badniks, and other robots of Eggman's creation with the Blue Blur to only watch, will Amy and the rest of Sonic's friends make it out alive? Find out, in Chapter 5 of Ammunition, Survival.
