The next morning, the phone had rang, waking both me and Amy from our slumbers. "Ngah~Damn phone." I groaned. I reached over and answered it. "Hello?" My voice was weak. I tapped my throat to fix it.

"Umm, you guys might want to get down here...fast. Bring Amy." It was Tails. He sounded worried about something. "Meet us in the middle of town square. And hurry!" The phone hung up.

"Ugh. I don't wanna' wake up yet." Amy groaned throwing the pillow over her face.

"Sorry, Amy. We have to get going." I said. I knelt down beside her. "It's an urgent matter that needs to be done." My point was proven when a giant explosion could be heard outside. We rushed to the door and opened it. We gazed upon the large pillar of smoke coming from Station Square.

"Holy..." Amy cursed under her breath. "Alright, fine. Let's get going." She grabbed her power rings and headed for the door in front of me. She turned to me, "Hurry up, you slow-poke." She continued to run. I ran behind her.

We had reached Station Square only to see the majority of our team unconsious. The only ones still standing included Sonic, Tails, and Rouge. All three of them were badly injured. In front of them stood a dark figure that had the appearence of Amy. Its red eyes shined through the dark, black aura that surrounded its body. The 'Amy' clone even had the same hammer as the real Amy, and its eyes were set straight on us.

"What the hell is that?" I said.

"It looks like me...b-but that isn't me...right?" Amy stuttered. She was more scared than I was. She took steps backwards as the figure pierced her soul with its eyes. Amy was white with fear. "N-no...I-I can't do this...I-..." I grabbed her shoulders and faced her towards me.

"Listen to me. You can do this, Amy. No one knows how to beat you but you. No doubt you can at least keep it busy while I tend to everyone's wounds. After that, we get out of here. Ok?" I said. My eyes were locked onto her's. "You don't have to win. All you have to do is keep it busy. Can you do that?"

Amy went silent. She stuttered more and more. Her words didn't seem to come out correctly. "I-I can't do this. I-I just can't." She tried to escape my grip, but I kept her close.

"Look, its ok if you're scared. I am too. Tell you what, you tend to everyone's wounds and I'll worry about the doppleganger...ok?" I assured. Her fear went away slowly and her breathing calmed. She nodded. "Ok, now go." I said. She rushed over to everyone's rescue, whilst I stood as a barrier between them and the 'Shadow Amy'. It immediately charged at me with its hammer and attempted to smash it down on my head. I simply caught the hammer and threw her along with the hammer into the air. The figure skillfully landed on its feet using flips. This time, I charged at her, and faked a punch. When she tried to dodge it, I quickly moved my fist in the direction she was dodging. Unfortunatly, my punch went right through her face as if it was air. The figure struck me with her hammer in my back by spinning behind me. I was sent rolling to the ground and finally on my face. "D-Dammit." I heard Tails scream.

"Physical attacks won't work like that. Only ranged damage will, but none of us could land a bullet on her." Tails said.

"Hmm." I remembered when Tails said that my body can turn into any type of machinery that I can think of. I had a brilliant idea. "Heh." I charged at the figure again, predicting that she would attempt to strike me. Just before her hammer met my face, I ducked and rolled back where I was. Her hammer met the wall and became wedged in between the solid bricks. She couldn't move. "Gotcha' Bitch!" I thought of a more 'lethal' weapon to use. Actually, multiple weapons. My hands transformed into two pistols and I immediately let out a barrage of bullets upon her. She fell to her knees, attempting to survive the storm of bullets falling upon her. I spiced it up a bit and switched from pistols to machine guns, then from machine guns to a minigun. Finally, the Shadow Amy fell down to the ground in defeat. Her body squirmed around like a fish out of the water. Now was a good time to finish it off. I formed my right arm into a shotgun, stood over the Shadow Amy, and aimed straight for her head. "You know, you aren't exactly the first person I'd expect to kill...but to hell with it." Suddenly, I felt something grab my ankle. I looked down to see the aura that surrounded Shadow Amy wrapped around my leg. It jerked my leg backwards, sending me to my face. "Ow!" The shadow lifted me in the air, hanging me upside down.

The Shadow Amy used the same aura to repair her wounds and bullet holes. She lifted herself into the air with me, and grabbed my face. The Shadow Amy's face took the form of the real Amy's face. The Shadow Amy then forced me into a kiss. I couldn't fight. The shadow had my arms locked down. I felt my very soul being forced out of my mouth. My breath was literally being taken away from my lungs. I tried and struggled to get free, but to no avail. My right arm, however, struggled free. I quickly formed it into a small dagger and stabbed the Shadow Amy in the chest. I, then used my electrical energy to heat the blade. The Shadow Amy's body suddenly caught flames. We fell back to the ground together. She was rolling around on the ground, trying to put out the flames. I was too busy trying to catch my breath.

"Agh!" I groaned. "D-Dammit. That was not what I expected of a first kiss." I joked, regarding my physical pain. "Alright, time to put an end to this shit." I stuggled to get up. I stumbled to Shadow Amy's body, which was no longer on fire. I loaded my arm with a shotgun once again, and fired a single shell directly into her skull. She exploded with a purple fog. "Ugh! What the hell!? It smells piss and dead possum!" I stumbled out of the fog and to the ground, catching my breath. "Damn...and I thought the real Amy was a tough nut."

Amy managed to help everyone to their feet. Shadow was the only one to reject Amy's help. "I don't need your pity." He said. He stood up, holding his side in pain. He glared at me. "I could've handled that damn thing on my own."

"Yeah. Thanks for saying 'Thanks'." I said sarcastically.

"Thanks, Zach." Rouge said.

"Yeah, no problem. That was some fight, though. What the hell was that?" I asked. Tails coughed.

"I don't know, but it gave us quite a beating." He said.

"Meh. We had worse." Sonic remarked. He was hurt, but not badly hurt. He accepted Amy's help, but never even looked at her. "Thanks, Zach. You saved our tails."

"Once again, no problem." I replied, helping myself to my own feet. "It seems those things are flammable."

"Yeah. That part, I enjoyed." Knuckles said. "Thanks Amy and Zach. We're glad we called you two."

"Speaking of me," Amy said. "Why did that thing look like me?"

"So many questions, such little time." I said. I dusted off my arms and body. "We have nothing to worry about now. We're fine."

"Gah!" Blaze the Cat was bleeding badly from her shoulder. I rushed over to her side.

"Tails, do me a favor and hand a set of that plant by that door right there." I pointed at the strange, green cactus by the automatic door that led into the train station.

"Here." He said, handing me the flora. I broke the flora in half and squeezed the liquid onto her wound.

"W-What are you-?' I cut Blaze off.

"Shh. You need to stay calm or the bleeding will get worse. This plant is a medical plant used specifically to stop bleeding or infection to open wounds. At least, that's what my database says. It should stop your bleeding and give you enough time to heal. How does it feel?" I asked.

"It feels...soothing." She said. I taken a peice of my shirt and wrapped her wound with it.

"There. That should do it." I said. Blaze sighed with relief and looked at me, smiling.

"Thank you." She paused. "Hey, wait. I remember you. You're the one who bought me that ice cream."

"Hmm." I scanned her eyes. "Blaze the Cat. You're a princess from an alternate universe simliar to this one. You hold the ability to use and control the physical element of fire and the last place I met you was at Frostie's Ice Cream Parlor. I remember you too."

"How did you know all of that?" She asked.

"Tails saved my life by replacing the majority of me with robotic parts. I can do all kinds of cool stuff now." I said. "I just pulled off any information I know about you."

'That explains how he never mentioned the Sol Emeralds or Silver.' Blaze mumbled to herself. She must have figured that I couldn't hear her. "Well, thank you."

"No problem." I replied. "Now, what do we do about that?" I said, pointing to the pile of goop emitting black smoke.

Tails approached the pile, and scooped up a bit of it in a small vial. "I'll take this back to my lab to study it. In the meantime, you guys better rest and celebrate."

"Right. That party is tomorrow." I said. "We still up for it?" I asked Rouge. It was being held at her house. She was also the hostess.

"Sure, sweetie. You can count on it." She smiled.

"Great." I replied. I looked over at Amy. Her face was paralyzed with fear. She jumped when I touched her shoulder. "It's alright, Amy. Whatever that thing was is gone now. You can relax." I assured. She placed her hand over mine and smiled, letting me know that she had calmed down. Deep down, though, something told me that 'Shadow Amy' might give Amy some nightmares...or me; some nightmares.

Ok. So, here's the run-down. Amy's crazy mind has created a physical form of herself. The physical form, Shadow Amy, is made of the mixture of the hate for Sonic and the love for Sonic at the same time. 'But why did it just kiss Zach?' You may be asking...well, i'll let you figure that part out on your own. All i can say is this, 'There can only be one of them. The rest are on their own.' I know it sounds...cryptic. But i promise you, it'll be B.A.D.A.S.S...unless you wanna hate me.
