"Marco and Amy has
been captured?" Sonic asked in the radar room.
"Yes,
they've been caught in a trap and they didn't escape," Sally
said.
"Do you know where they've been taken?"
"That's
unknown; Robotnik seems to be blocking our radars in a certain
area."
"Oh my stars," Bunnie said, "what are
we gonna do, Sally-girl?"
"That's what I'm afraid of, we
can't do anything."
"Why can't we?" Tails
asked.
"If I know Robotnik, he has Punishers swarming the
area, and if our luck really drops, Robotnik will be there too."
"So
all hope is lost?" Rotor asked.
"...Maybe."
Marco
was running...running from something. His muscles ached, his body
bled, begging for him to stop. But his adrenaline kept pumping, so he
pushed on. It seem like Marco has been running for days. Running in
darkness. He wasn't being chased...he was running...trying to avoid
being chased. He didn't stop for water, food, or rest. He just kept
running. A person was in front of him. He stopped to see the person
clearly. It was Maria. She was in her human form; she was Maria
Robotnik, 56 years ago.
"Maria," Marco
said.
"Marco...you're a mess," Maria said.
"I've
been running."
"Why are you running? You're the Mobian's
Savior?"
"He running because he's scared." Said a
voice.
It was Tails.
"You're scared of dying," Tails
said.
"I'm not-" he caught his lie, "Yes, I am."
"I
can't believe it." Said a voice.
It was Amy. She was
crying.
"You let me down," Amy said, "I'm dead
because of you."
"But..."
"You're Mobian's
Savior! You're not scared of anything!"
"Amy,
I-I..."
"You gave the Diamond of Destruction to
Robotnik!" Tails shouted.
"I only wanted to save
Maria!"
"Now only you didn't save me, Robotnik is now
invincible!" Maria shouted, "You didn't wanted to save
me...you wanted to save yourself from pain and suffering, so you did
whatever it took!"
"And now," Tails said,
unsheathing his swords "you must pay for it."
"Allow
me to do the job," said a voice.
It was Dr. Robotnik. Marco
shivered and was dead to his feet.
"No...leave me
alone."
Marco forced his feet to run, but he couldn't. His
muscles ached and they still bled.
"Goodbye, Mobian's
Savior!"
Maria, Robotnik, Tails and Amy all jumped and
attacked Marco.
Marco woke up from unconsciousness before they
attacked. He was in an electrical cell. Marco noticed there was a
blue-like, electrical wall and couldn't get out. The sidewalls were
made of cold, hard steel. The hallways of the room was relatively
long and more cells went down the path. Marco noticed where he
was.
"Prison Island," he said.
Prison Island is a
large one. It was heavily guarded in all regions with land, air, and
water patrols. Installations ran throughout the island with many
weapons caches and equipment storages. The weapons and equipment
could help the Freedom Fighters if Marco still had his jeep.
Marco
turned his body around and saw Amy. He got scared of her for the
moment, but he remembered it was the sweet, innocent Amy that almost
got killed by those Punishers. She was still out cold. Marco checked
her limbs for any broken bones. There were none, but that was the
least of his worries when he saw something worse. He looked at Amy's
stomach and he had to look away, because it was penetrated.
"This
can't be right... when I was looking at her before we were captured,
that wasn't there..." he thought.
Amy started to
bleed.
"No..." Marco said.
Marco ripped off some of
his fur; leaving his skin exposed on his arm, and wrapped the fur
around Amy stomach, where the bleeding was starting at. After a few
seconds, the fur turned red.
"It's not working," Marco
said.
Amy was losing blood quickly. She started to shiver.
"No,
no, no, no, no!" Marco said, seeing the blood running down
faster.
Marco tried drastic measures. He tried to ram the
electrical wall down, but every time he tried, it shocked him.
"Help! Someone get help down here!" Marco yelled, "My
friend is dying!"
No one listened, even if they did, they
would've ignored it. But Marco still tried.
"Doesn't anyone
care for what is happening to my friend!?"
Amy was shivering
even more; the floor was nearly consumed with blood.
Marco shouted
as loud as he could, "HELP!!!!"
He gasped for air, and
then ran to Amy and hugged her. "Don't die on me now, Amy,"
Marco said.
Marco felt hands on his back. Amy was hugging
back.
"Marco..." Amy said.
"Amy, don't try to
talk, save your strength."
"I'll die anyways."
"Amy, don't say that...I don't want you to die, I want you
to stay with me."
"You're finally opening up to me."
"Amy, I want you to stay with me always, don't die on me, I
love you."
"I love you too, Marco."
Marco and
Amy kissed each other. Amy always wanted that. Her head hanged over
and her arms fell to the ground. She was dead.
"No...no...Amy!"
Marco shouted.
He cried, "Wake up, you can't be dead!"
Marco
remembered that habit. The habit of him being the only survivor. The
habit of him always escaping death but his loved ones always died. He
let himself drop his guard again. To be more open to Amy. To love her
even more. He always wondered why that happened. Marco stared at
Amy's lifeless body. He cried even more. How much pain and suffering
will he have to endure before he can die? Why was he even put with
this curse? Marco thought of those questions. His train of thought
was broken when footsteps was heard. A figure appeared in front of
him.
"Hello Marco Thompson."
It was the last person
Marco wanted to see. He backed away from him and onto a wall. He was
scared to death. He was scared of him in his dreams, but he was
entirely scared of him in the flesh.
"W-what are you doing
here?" Marco asked with a scared voice.
"Don't tell me
you're scared, I thought you was more of a man than that,"
Robotnik said.
"You're not a man yourself...you're a
monster."
"Why you say that?"
"Look at what
you did to Amy!" Marco started to get alittle bit
braver.
Robotnik stared at Amy, "So, this is a war, and war
lose lives."
"No, your war loses machines! Our war loses
lives!"
Marco remember how Maria died. He gathered his
courage.
"You're nothing more than a cold hearted monster!
You killed my first love and now this one!"
Robotnik used an
irritated voice this time, "Well, now it's time to know how it
feels, when your race is dominated by another!"
"Huh?"
"I
first started this war between you furry animals because you became
stronger, faster, and smarter than us humans!" he went on, "it
is time to take back what is ours and destroy you Mobians, once and
for all!"
Marco now understood Robotnik. One thousand years
ago, it was told that the Mobians somehow has became just like
humans. They started to build their own houses and cities. They
wanted more land, so they destroyed human cities and rebuilt their
own. Robotnik must of wanted to give them an own taste of their
medicine. But why wait so long?
"Robotnik, peace was made a
long time ago, the Mobians and humans live together in peace
now."
"WRONG! Peace was never made, humans has always
been dominated by Mobians! They hardly have ten cities to this day!
Survival is our only key, and we lost that key a long time ago, so
now we use weapons! That is our renewed key for survival and now we
will make the Mobians extinct!" Robotnik calmed down, "That
is, except for you, of course."
"What do you mean?"
"I
want you to join my domination."
"What?"
"Join
me, and become my superior, we will both dominate Mobius and begin a
new legacy, we will both put our name down in his-"
"Hell
no!" Marco interrupted Robotnik, "I will never join you!
You can put that question, and shove it!"
Robotnik thought
for a moment, "Okay, I'll make you a deal then."
"I'll
revive Amy there, but you'll have to join me before I do, if you try
to trick me in any way possible, I will kill her."
Marco eyes
widened. He didn't want to do it, but making Amy live again would be
the greatest thing that will happen to him.
"Okay, I'll do
it."
Tails walked out the kitchen after he ate dinner and
he walked back to the radar room. There, Rotor and Sally was hard a
work trying to pinpoint Marco and Amy's location.
"You find
it yet?" Tails asked.
"No, were still trying though,"
Sally replied.
"I got a different story," Rotor
said.
"You found them?" Sally asked.
"Yup, I'll
put it on screen."
Rotor transmitted his computer's screen to
the big screen. The screen zoomed in to where Marco and Amy
is.
"Prison Island?" Tails said, "That's the worst
place to be at."
"Show the energy readings," Sally
ordered.
After a few seconds, the map screened showed a blue dot
in the middle that represented Marco, and red dots all over the
island. A black dot was there with Marco.
"Dr. Robotnik is
there too," Sally said.
Sonic ran in, "What about
Buttnik?"
Sally and the others stared at him, and then they
got back to their discussion.
"That's weird," Sally
said.
"What's weird?" Sonic asked.
"I can't pick
up Amy's energy reading...Rotor, scan the area again."
Rotor
scanned the area again, after a few minutes, the screen stayed the
same.
"There's still no reading of Amy's energy...could she
be...dead?" Sally asked.
Tails didn't want to think that,
"Rotor, can you scan the whole world?"
"I'm on it,"
Rotor said.
It took about fifteen minutes for Rotor to finish. He
spun his chair around and said, "Still no reading."
"So
she is...dead," Sonic said.
Sally got down to her knees,
"This is my fault, I should've never sent Amy on that mission
with Marco, I wanted to help her and Marco's problems out...now Amy
is dead and there's no telling what Marco is doing."
"Hopefully,
not something stupid," Sonic said.
