The Creature from Space

Chapter 3

Tails had been sitting at his computer for most of the night, he feel asleep a few times, but he when he woke up he got right back to work. Morning had soon rose, and the fox had just made himself and Sonic their breakfast, he then decided to take a little break by switching the TV on. He Let out a yawn, as he sat down on a stool and drank some coffee, "I got to stop pulling all nigthters or at least give it a break for a while," he mumbled to himself.

His ears perked up at the sound of his brother coming in from the stairs "morning Sonic." He greeted.

Sonic rubbed his eyes as he stopped before the fox, "morning buddy, any luck with that signal?"

"Nah, nothing yet. It's so strange. It's just disappeared, it's been really frustrating me." Tails frowned as he let out a groan.

Sonic shrugged patting the foxes shoulder, "we'll find it, bud."

Tails nodded "yeah I guess. I've made breakfast by the way."

Sonic grinned gratefully the smell was making him hungry "thanks bud." Sonic gave him a thumb's up and went to sit and eat, but he paused on his way when the news suddenly flashed up on the screen interrupting the programme that Tails was watching. This caught both Sonic's and Tails attention. This didn't happen often.

"We interrupt this programme, to bring you a special live news broadcast from right here in downtown Station Square!" The news reporter inside a studio appeared on the screen for one second then change to outside in the city where a human woman with red hair, now appeared on camera.

"This is Scarlet Garcia bringing you a special live news report, from downtown Station Square where moments ago a strange lighting storm struck the city, causing the residents to flee certain areas. It was then revealed that a hedgehog, was the cause of this at first, we thought it was Sonic the Hedgehog the hero of our fair city, but upon closer inspection it certainly isn't him…..Oh, thank you for telling me." Scarlet had paused when someone whispered to her.

"This just in it seems the situation is being handled by none other than Amy Rose, who is a friend and hero along with Sonic, let's get to the situation now, do we have camera there?" Scarlett asked to a man off camera.

Both Sonic and Tails eyes widened at the screen as it changes, Amy was fighting the hedgehog she'd been hit a few times. Sonic eyes widened further in worry, "Ammy?!" Without waiting another minute, the blue hedgehog rushed out of the workshop and head straight for the city.

Amy huffed out breath and winced at her injuries, this was bad she wasn't sure she would be able to beat this guy. The hedgehog paused a moment and observed Amy, "hm, you're quite strong for another worldly creature, but your growing weak. I can clearly see that one more hit, might wipe you off the face of the earth," The dark hedgehog chuckled as he glowed a bright green colour.

Amy growled at that statement, "you really shouldn't underestimate people!"

The hedgehog smirked, "hand over Orco and I will spare you."

Amy shook her head and gripped her hammer tight, "no way!"

Orco worriedly poked his head out of her hat, he couldn't let Amy get hurt any further, he closed his eyes tight and Amy could hear him mumble strange words, she'd never heard off. She prepared herself as the dark hedgehog advanced on her. Lifting her hammer high in the air she prepared to strike, "Huh…?!" She yelped as a vail of purple light in cased her.

"NOOooooOOOOO!" The dark hedgehog growled out as he skidded to a halt in his tracks.

As the vail covered herself Amy's ears perked up at a familiar voice calling her name "Amy…..?!" She only managed to briefly look behind her when she suddenly vanished.

Sonic eyes widened in shock as he skidded to a halt just before the space where Amy disappeared. "Amy," he whispered in concern as his eyes never left the spot, his ears perked up when he heard a low growl.

"So, her name is Amy. She dared to try and stop me. She will perish, when I have captured that wretched creature." The dark hedgehog mumbled when he saw Sonic.

Sonic frowned at the dark one, "who are you?!"

The dark hedgehog looked at the blue hedgehog before, "not that it is any of your concern blue hedgehog, but since I am feeling rather humours today I will educate you. I am Zark the soon to be overload ruler of the planet Oren and perhaps this pathetic planet as well. Do not even think about getting in my way," Zark chuckled evilly as he raised both his hands and the aura surrounding him lit up more intensely and he then disappeared.

Sonic growled his fist clenched, "great another Eggman….." Sonic mumbled in annoyance, but his gaze drifted back to the spot that Amy had disappeared from. "What happened to you Ames," Sonic said out loud he soon realised that cameras were coming towards him, so he took the opportunity to zoom out of the area before he was bombarded with questions.

…..

Amy slowly opened her eyes as she landed on the ground "uhhhh what happened?" She questioned as she looked around rubbing some of her sore bits on her arms as she winced a little.

'I'm sorry Amy I had to transport us, I didn't want you get hurt any further, he's really powerful.' Orco sighed.

Amy smiled but nodded as she removed the hat and Orco flew out of it, "it's okay Orco I appreciate it, he might have been too strong for me, and Sonic showed up at the last minute he could have handle him…...oh well, now I just have to figure out where we are." Amy said as she looked around. She frowned as she gazed over the grassy field she stood in. "Looks like we have a problem, I'm not sure where we are." Amy sighed in disappointment.
