Chapter 10- The Wedding

Luna was up on her feet and running about. She should be in bed, but, Luna is the kind of girl who can't stay down. She is so stubborn. This made Amy laugh. Luna was removing the curlers from Amy's hair, which made Amy wince.

"Ouch." She said. Luna laughed.

"Sorry Amy. But today is your wedding day. I want you to look absolutely beautiful." She said as she took the last of the curlers out and straightened out her hair. Amy's hair bounced up into a bunch of spiraling curls.

"You should be in bed Luna…" Amy said. Luna shook her head.

"You know me Amy. Nothing can keep this gal down." She said. Amy nodded.

"Alright, how is Iradisa?" She asked. Luna smiled.

"Beautiful as ever. She's with Vanilla." She said as she placed a butterfly barrette to bind her curly hair.

"That's good." Amy said nodding. They heard the door open. Luna turned to see whoever was standing at the door. Amy looked in the mirror, she saw Sonic standing there, looking very…Different.

"What the hell do you want?" Luna asked, baring her tiny fangs. Amy turned around in her seat to see Sonic huff. His fur was a darker shade of blue; He had dark circles under his eyes, which made his emerald eyes look dangerous.

"I'm here to see the lucky bride…" He said, his voice was dark…Sounding damaged. Amy got up and approached the hedgehog. He collapsed to his knees, holding his waist.

"Sonic…What's wrong?" She asked. He looked up with weak eyes.

"I…I don't…" He managed to speak. Amy glanced at him; He had a terrible scar on his waist, which was gushing out blood.

"Sonic!" Amy shouted, and then she looked back at Luna. "Get an ambulance!" Luna nodded as she whipped out her cell phone and began calling the hospital. Sonic then looked at her weakly.

"Amy…It's Lucky…She…" He said weakly. Amy placed a hand on his back.

"What about her?" She asked. He sighed.

"She went to Eggman…Then…They…Kidnapped…I-Ira…" He said before passing out. Amy heard the phone drop onto the floor. Turning, she found Luna heading for the door.

"That bitch! I have had it with her! That bitch is going to die!" She screamed before running out the door. Amy shook her head. Grabbing Luna's phone she dialed Arch. She told him what happened before she dialed Espio and told him the same thing. The ambulance collected Sonic and is on their way to the hospital.

Some things were meant to be left alone. This was one of them. Amy realized that being this was her fourth week. Her wedding day was on the fourth week of her unborn baby. She stood up slowly, feeling her baby kick, apparently not happy about the night's events.

"I know baby…I know…" She said as she rubbed her belly. Cream came in the room.

"Amy? Are you alright? I saw Luna run out the room." She said. Amy nodded.

"Yea…I know what I have to do. Is Tails here?" She asked as she took Cream's hand and marched out of the room.

"Yea, He is…But…Why?" She asked as she tried to keep up with the pace Amy was walking.

"Because, my baby says go save the day." She said, giving Cream a smirk.

Walking out of the hall, she found Tails sitting next to Rouge. Marching up to him Amy tapped him. He looked at her along with Rouge.

"Amy?" He asked in surprise. She smiled.

"It's time to stop Lucky and Eggman." She said as she referred to his Tornado. Tails smirked before leaping up. Rouge smiled as she followed after him. Cream nodded before leading Amy to the Tornado.

(Lucky's POV)

"The plan is going perfect." Lucky spoke to Eggman. Looking at the infant whom Vanilla was holding close to her, protecting her.

"Yes, who would've known you were so bad?" He said with a laugh. Lucky smiled as she traced her finger on the glass of the room Vanilla and the baby were kept in. Vanilla glared at Lucky.

"Sonic should have never left me. We could've had a child like that…" She said as turned her back to Eggman. She heard footsteps walk in the room, one of Eggman's robots, Metal Sonic. Lucky enjoyed him very well. He was a good boy toy.

"They're on the way." He said with a metallic voice so cold. A shiver of pleasure ran down Lucky's spine.

"Thank-you, Mecha." She said as she walked up to him and kissed him. He pulled away.

"Does not compute." He said. Lucky sighed in frustration, turning to Eggman. "You didn't fix him yet?" She asked glaring.

"I…Um…Was distracted." He replied. Lucky rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. Just get to it. I really would like to enjoy my victory." She said as she walked over to the window to see a plane approaching.

(Espio's POV)

He never saw Arch so angry before. Well, if he were in his shoes, he would be furious. Arch landed the plane nearby, he tied his sword to his belt followed by his dagger as well.

"Espio, go stealth and get past the defenses. Take down anyone who gets in your way." He said. Espio nodded as he got out and camouflaged with the environment. Moving with stealth, he managed to slip by some security bots.

Approaching a small camp of security bots, they surrounded a power station, seeing that he had to shut down the defenses around the base. He had to get over to the power station. On his way, he managed to take down about six robots. Stopping, he looked around. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he rushed over and slipped inside of the power station.

Walking up to the controls he pulled down a lever. He heard the power whirred and shut down. He pushed several other buttons to take down the defenses. He stepped outside and saw that Arch was hacking the robots up. He shook his head.

They heard a bunch of shouting further back. Espio saw that Luna was taking down the robots as they came, hacking them down with a katana.

"Fuckers!" She screamed as she kicked one down and sliced it into two. She ran up to them and glared over to the base. "Let's slaughter that bitch, no mercy this time." She hissed between her teeth. Arch nodded and ran off to the base. Espio was about to go til' he saw Tails' plane land. He saw Tails, Rouge, Cream, and Amy get out.

"Dammit…" He muttered as he approached them.

(Amy's POV)

She held her tummy as she got out, rubbing it. Cream pointed off into the distance.

"The defenses are shut down." She said. Amy nodded.

"Espio's work, God I love that chameleon." She said as she began to walk off. Rouge flew off to the base to see what was happening. Tails went after her to find where they hid Iradisa, leaving Cream and Amy alone walking towards the base.

Amy saw Espio running towards them. She smiled in content. Espio stopped about a few feet away from her. They both looked at each other. He was dressed in a black tank top and brown baggy camo pants. She was still dressed in her wedding dress. She chuckled.

"Guess this was a bad time to have a fashion show." She said. He smiled.

"Guess so. We have to get going." He said grabbing her hand and they both sprinted off. Cream just placed her hand on her waist, waiting for any guard robots to pass by.

Espio held onto Amy as they leapt up the building. She held onto him tightly so that she wouldn't fall. They saw Tails hovering above them.

"Iradisa is on the top floor…It is not going well." He said to them. Espio nodded and then he leapt faster until they hit the top. Espio broke through the window.

Amy looked at the scene, Arch was battling Metal Sonic, and Luna was battling Lucky. Luna looked very tired as did Arch. Espio put Amy down and charged towards Metal Sonic, pulling out his katana from the back sheath.

Amy looked and felt defenseless. She saw Lucky kick Luna in the chest and she fell back and hit the glass wall, causing it to shatter. Lucky looked over to Amy, smiling. She pulled a dagger out and pointed it towards Amy.

"You took my Sonic away…He loved you…You took him away!" She exclaimed as she swung the blade, Amy dodged it. She then heard Espio, "Amy! Catch!" She turned and caught his dagger, blocking the swing Lucky attempted. It gave off a spark.

"You hurt him, you bitch!" Amy shouted at her as she continued blocking the blade. Lucky laughed.

"Me? Hurt him? I had my mecha take care of him." She said. Amy thrusted the dagger forward, stabbing Lucky in her stomach. She dropped her blade. Blood began oozing from her wounds. Luna stood up and staggered towards to Lucky before slamming the blade into her stomach fully, causing her to fall down.

Amy and Luna watched as Lucky writhed with pain, blood beginning to pool around her. Luna sighed in relief as she ran over to Vanilla and her baby. Amy smiled at the scene. Amy then felt a sharp pain to the back of her head. Everything turned all black…Then…Nothing…

(Espio's POV)

Espio watched Amy collapse after Metal Sonic's hit to her skull. Feeling enraged, Espio charged with the katana at hand, he made a direct hit to Metal Sonic's arm. It was hacked off. Arch went for the kill, swinging his sword; he lopped off the head of Metal Sonic. It rolled into the wall, the body collapsing with a BANG! With that Espio ran towards Amy, whom Luna was trying to wake up. Lifting her head slightly, he felt something wet. As he pulled his hand out from beneath her head, it was blood.

Rouge flew down and grabbed Amy.

"I'm taking her to the Tornado. Tails is already there. You guys get going." She said as she took off flying. Espio nodded, he sprinted off. Arch, Luna, and Vanilla holding Iradisa was hot on his heels.

He kept running towards the town. Everyone else took the plane. He was beginning to feel scared…Fearing the worse for his beloved…

Espio was waiting in the waiting room. Pacing back and forth for what seemed to be the hundredth time. Cream and Luna were crying, Vanilla and Rouge just remained quiet, Arch was home with Iradisa. Espio was here worrying about Amy.

He went through so much with her. So much…He couldn't bear to lose her now…A nurse came out and walked towards him.

"Come with me please." She said as she walked off. He followed after her.

The room seemed quiet. Amy laid there, looking tired. She opened her eyes and smiled at Espio. He ran up to her.

"Are you going to be okay?" He asked, worried. Amy nodded slowly.

"Yea…I am. That hit was rather…Hard." She said smiling. He smiled too.

"It was…" He said with a sigh of relief.

"Doctors say that I should stay off my feet for about a week." She said. He nodded.

"You have to." He said. Amy placed a finger on his lips to shush him.

"I had them call up everybody; we are going to get married tomorrow." She said with a smile. He smiled widely.

"Why not now?" He asked. She smiled, before looking at the doctor who was crying at the scene.

"Call them back up and get their tails over here. Oh…And get Luna in here." She said. The doctor nodded before barking commands at the nurses. They were jumping around at a fast pace doing what the doctor had ordered.

About an hour later, everyone was there. Luna was smiling, dressed up as a priestess. She took part time marrying people when the pastors could not make it. So, she was a total pastor at the moment. This made Espio smile. She sat in a wheelchair as Espio stood at her side.

Luna was going through the whole marriage speech. Espio held onto Amy's hand, smiling. He is finally marrying this beautiful hedgehog he's been so longing to marry for a very long time. Through all the times he's been with her, it strengthened his love every single moment.

As Luna said, "Espio, do you promise to love Amy through sickness and in life?" Espio's heart bounded several feet. Of course, nothing would make him happier to marry Amy. Looking at Amy, into the beautiful shining emerald eyes of hers.

"I promise to love her through the end of eternity, and the eternities after that. Amy Rose, you are my life now…," He said. He saw that her eyes sparkled with happiness. "I do." He said. Luna smiled.

"Amy Rose, do you promise to love Espio through sickness and in life?" She asked turning to Amy. He watched as Amy nodded before smiling.

"Espio, you don't realize how happy I am. I still remember the day when you confessed your love for me. I was and still am grateful to you. If I remained with Sonic, I swear I would have lost my mind. But you Espio…You let me be myself, you allow me to be the real Amy Rose. I don't have to pretend to be anyone else but the Rose you love," She smiled. "I do."

Luna smiled warmly. As she said, "Does anyone object to this ceremony? Speak now or forever hold your peace." They waited a moment or two. Then the door opened, there Sonic stood. Everyone looked at him. He stood there, bandaged around the waist. He smiled.

Espio knew he was going to object. He still loved Amy, but…Why did he not move on? He hurt her, why can't he realize that?

"Ames, as much as I want to object and say this isn't right for you. But I'm not. I finally came to terms to you and Espio. I want you two to be together, Amy…You are much better off with him." He said, leaning against the doorframe, that trademark grin on his face. Amy smiled.

"Good move hedgehog," Luna said smiling. She closed the bible she held in her hand. "Now I pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." She said as she took a side step to the side. Espio bent to kiss Amy firmly. She kissed back. She always tasted like strawberries…Her lips were always soft against his. There was no way in hell nothing could break them apart…
