Chapter Seven! my favorite number! lmao sorry im a dork. So im kinda wondering whether or not I should include Silver and Blaze later on in the story. I think they'd make a great addition, I'm just wondering how to tie them into the plot. If they do make an appearance, I might do a Silvaze pairing, not a huge romance or anything but probably just minor suggestion similar to Knucouge. Tell me what you think of that!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog or any of its characters.


'Recap'

"Watch out!" Shadow shouted and everyone turned to see Metal Sonic had recovered and was attempting to attack Tails from behind. Shadow ran and grabbed Tails before Metal Sonic could attack.

"Thanks Shadow." Tails said politely. Shadow simply nodded.

"Hmph. Looks like the metal creep hasn't had enough yet!" Knuckles exclaimed clenching his fists, ready for another fight.

"Alright then. Let's let him have it!" said Sonic and they all got into a fighting stance.

To be continued...

'End of Recap'

Sonic was the first one Metal Sonic targeted. He jumped over Sonic and attempted a homing attack from above, but Sonic was two steps ahead of him. Sonic jumped up and kicked him from below, sending him crashing straight into the ceiling. Shadow seized the opportunity to deliver his own attack.

"CHAOS SPEAR!" Shadow shouted as a large stream of energy came shooting out from his hands straight into Metal Sonic's body, sending him to the adjacent wall and then crashing to the floor below. Sparks flew all the way across the room from the damage. Metal Sonic shot up and ran for Rouge, who swiftly kicked him in the face before he got too close. She delivered a series of attacks and finished with a powerful grind attack from above, creating more sparks.

As Rouge landed next to him, Metal Sonic grabbed her by the ankle and spun her in circles. After a few twirls, he released her, throwing her into Knuckles where they both collapsed from the impact. Tails ran over to them to ensure they were alright as Sonic and Shadow continued to fight Metal Sonic.

"You two okay?" Tails asked.

"Ow... no not really." replied Rouge while rubbing her head.

"This wasn't a good idea, splitting off alone like that. We should've considered safety in numbers." Knuckles stated as he stood up.

"Oh I see. So now you're worried about me being alone huh?" Rouge teased. Knuckles simply scowled.

"Umm guys can we settle this later? Right now we got company." said Tails and they nodded. As they turned back to the fight, they saw Shadow being thrown towards them and they had to quickly jump aside to avoid being hit as Shadow crashed into the wall behind them. He quickly stood up and growled as he rubbed his eye where Metal Sonic hit him, then immediately ran back toward Metal Sonic in anger.

"I've had enough!" Shadow shouted angrily. "CHAOS...BLA-"

"Wait, Shadow! You can't! We can't risk setting off any alarms!" Rouge interrupted.

"If you use Chaos Blast in a room like this, you'd be doing more damage to the room than you would to Metal Sonic. So why don't you just cool it hot shot!" Knuckles exclaimed. Shadow shot an angry glare at the both of them before lowering his hands, ceasing the Chaos Blast.

"Hmph!" Shadow scoffed as he ran back to attack Metal Sonic the more traditional way. He ran behind Metal Sonic and used a somersault to trip him. Metal Sonic fell on his back, and Shadow used the spin dash to grind him into the ground causing great amounts of damage. Metal Sonic jumped up in attempt to retaliate, but Shadow used a homing attack which threw him tumbling to the ground again.

Within minutes, they were all on him. Tails shot his Arm Cannon, Rouge kicked, Knuckles punched, Sonic used Spin Dash, and Shadow used Chaos Spear.

"I'm going to finish this!" Sonic exclaimed as he backed up to the very edge of the room preparing to charge.

"This is the end of you!" said Shadow as he too prepared to charge for Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic glanced in both directions. Sonic came running at him from one side, and Shadow from the other. Rather than running from the oncoming danger, Metal Sonic waited until they got closer. As soon as they were both upon him, Metal Sonic jumped up in the air and hovered.

Now, instead of running into Metal Sonic, both Sonic and Shadow ran straight into each other full force. They were both sent crashing into the opposite walls before falling face down onto the floor. Knuckles burst into fits of laughter at the scene while Rouge simply slapped herself on the forehead in embarrasment.

"Ouch... hey watch what you're doing faker!" Shadow yelled angrily to Sonic.

"Me? What about you?!" Sonic retorted.

"Whose bright idea was it to charge him at the same time anyway?!" Shadow asked irritatedly.

"Guys! We're supposed to be fighting Metal, not each other!" Tails shouted.

"He's right. We'll need to work together if we wanna settle this." Sonic said. Shadow sighed in annoyance, then nodded in agreement. Without another word, they all began attacking in sequence. Tails jumped and flew up to where Metal Sonic was hovering then charged his Arm Cannon. In just two seconds, the ball of energy had grown larger than normal. He fired, and Metal Sonic was once again sent flying through the air, and the shock from the large ball of energy was causing large amounts of sparks to fly out of Metal Sonic's circuits.

Just before Metal Sonic could make contact with the wall, Sonic jumped up and used a homing attack which sent him flying in the opposite direction. Then Knuckles jumped up and attempted to punch him in the air, but instead Metal Sonic turned his body mid-air and planted his foot on Knuckles' head with large force, sending Knuckles crashing into the floor. Metal Sonic began hovering again and charged towards Sonic. He fired missile after missile from his torso at Sonic, who simply dashed side to side to dodge the attacks. One missile managed to strike Sonic's right shoulder, making him stumble to the ground in pain.

Sonic quickly recuperated and used the spin dash against Metal Sonic. As Sonic grinded into Metal Sonic's battered frame, more sparks flew everywhere from the damage Metal Sonic was taking. Sonic bounced off and finished with another homing attack, sending Metal Sonic towards Shadow.

"Now Shadow!" Sonic shouted. Shadow nodded.

"CHAOS SPEAR!" Shadow yelled as he sent the powerful Chaos Spear straight into Metal Sonic's face, sending him bouncing off the wall and the ceiling before finally crashing to the floor with more sparks than ever spewing out of him. A small crater in the floor had formed where Metal Sonic landed. They all ran to Metal Sonic. His eyes were black and his motor was off while little spurts of sparks continued flying out of his body. They all knew he wouldn't be getting up anytime soon. Metal Sonic was defeated. They all let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew! He really put up quite the fight huh?" said Knuckles, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"I wonder why Metal Sonic is here in the first place." Tails said thoughtfully. "It's amazing that we could cause such a ruckus by fighting him without the alarms going off."

"Nah. There aren't any lasers here so we weren't at risk of that." said Rouge.

"Still, it's kinda weird that he's here but Eggman isn't." Sonic said.

"Yeah. Why isn't Eggman here and why doesn't he have better protection of this place?" Knuckles inquired.

"It's all the more reason to be on guard. We could be walking into a trap." said Shadow.

"Yeah, we better be more careful from now on." said Tails.

"I suggest we continue the search as a group this time." Knuckles said.

"Alright. Now then." Rouge sighed. "Has anyone else found anything of interest?"

"Yeah. I found some stairs that lead to the lower levels of this base, but there are no lights down there and it's too dark to see." said Sonic. "Maybe we should check it out and see if we can find a light switch. It's possible something's down there."

"Sounds like a plan. Let's go." said Shadow.

"But there's no light. What good would it do to go down there searching for a switch if we can't even see?" Knuckles asked.

"That's what I'm here for." Rouge said raising her hand. "You forget that I'm a bat and I can see in the dark."

"That's right! We can have Rouge find the switch." said Sonic.

"Oh yeah... well whatever." Knuckles said defensively.

"Hehe. You're cute when you're confused Knucklehead." Rouge teased as she elbowed Knuckles in the shoulder. Knuckles blushed at her comment.

"Married couple." Shadow whispered, and Sonic and Tails chuckled. Knuckles shot Shadow another cold glare.

"Anyways, let's show them the way to the lower levels Sonic." said Tails.

"Right. This way!" Sonic said and they all followed him to the lower levels.


"Think, Amy. Think!"Amy said as she continuously pounded her head on her kitchen table. She grew frustrated as her memory of the past day and a half wouldn't return to her.

"Urgh. Why can't I remember? It's only been a day!" Amy complained. "I know! Maybe if I retrace my steps." She jumped up and ran outside her apartment building to the street. She turned to the alleyway that led to the back of the building and ran down it until she was brought to the very place she had woken up earlier that day. She then began searching for clues.

"So... I woke up here, then ran out to the street. Then I saw Sonic and..." Amy said to herself as she walked slowly in the direction of the street. "Oooh, this is pointless!" she yelled in annoyance. Then something caught her foot. She tripped and fell to the ground.

"Ooof! Geez, people gotta learn they shouldn't litter!" Amy said angrily. Then she caught sight of the object that tripped her. "Wait a minute. What is that?" she said as she examined it more closely. She picked it up off the ground to get a better look at it. It was hard and metallic, certainly not practical. The jagged edge revealed that this must be a smaller metal piece to something that broke off.

"This doesn't look like trash." Amy said thoughtfully. "It looks more like a piece of..." she flipped it over and gasped. On the underside was Dr. Eggman's indistinguishable logo.

"It is! It's part of one of Eggman's robots! But what's it doing out here?" Amy wondered. Suddenly, she felt intense pain in her head.

"Aahhh!" she yelped as she stumbled to the ground, dropping the object in her hand. Her head felt like it was pounding, as if someone was filling it with rocks. She looked around to see what was causing that horrible feeling, but there was nothing and no one.

"Where is this coming from?!" Amy said fearfully. Then the pounding feeling became more powerful, making her head feel heavier. She was overwhelmed and began rolling on the ground with her hands on her head in a vain attempt to reduce her pain.

"Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!" she yelled as the pain gradually grew even more unbearable. She started hearing a loud ringing noise in her ears that completely drowned out every other sound. The ringing eventually stopped, but she still couldn't hear anything besides a clicking sound in her head. She became numb and unable to move and was quickly losing conciousness. She leaned her head in the direction of the street in attempt to call for help. She saw two figures walking toward her from a distance.

"Help..." she said weakly before everything faded to black.


"Amy... please wake up." said a desperate voice. Amy slowly opened her eyes, but everything was still hazy. Once she finally regained focus, she saw Cream hovering over her with a worried expression.

"Amy! You're awake! Are you okay?" the young rabbit asked, holding Amy's hand. Amy slowly sat up and realized she was back in her apartment with Cream, Cheese, and Vanilla accomanying her in the living room.

"What's going on?" Amy asked.

"We were coming over to see you when we heard you screaming from the alley." Vanilla replied solemnly, her face full of concern. "We rushed over and found you on the ground."

"Yeah, so we carried you up here and have been waiting for you to wake up!" Cream exclaimed. "You really scared us!"

"Chao chao!" said Cheese.

"How're you feeling now dear? Should we take you to see a doctor?" Vanilla inquired urgently. Amy shook her head.

"I don't think that's necessary. I feel fine. I..." Amy stopped mid-sentence and her eyes became wide.

"What's wrong?" Cream asked.

"I remember now!" Amy replied in an astonished tone. "I remember everything."
