Chapter 9: the ultimatum

Amy was still struggling to get out of clonix's cockpit event though they were in space already

Amy: where are you taking me?

Clonix: my orders are to take you to the space colony ARK, dr. eggman needs you to talk with the boss

Amy: boss?

Clonix: the hedgehog that created me, now please stop talking

once they arrived to the ARK he left amy in an empty room and locked her in

inside that empty room z-12 was there, waiting for her to arrive... he had orders to infect amy with the virus that was corrupting his body

z-12: welcome...

Amy: ...

Meanwhile on earth...

Hours passed, sonic and the others were slowly recovering, but they still needed some rest, sonic was still annoyed because he wanted to find that clone of his and get some answers and get amy back from whenever she was being held hostage

everyone were like that, when all of a sudden, the tv turned on, every Tv, every radio, and every computer stopped working to show a transmition...

z-12: people from earth!

Sonic: what the...

Tails: him?

z-12: sorry for interrupting your boring pointless lifes, but there are some things that i would like to discuss with you

all the people watching were confused and shocked at the same time

z-12: well, i've been trusted a very important task, get rid of sonic the hedgehog once and for all, and show all of you people that the person that should be followed is dr. eggman, well, i've made all the research and the tests i could and i have to say... you people dissapoint me, i think you all need a little "persuation" to see how wrong you are in seeing dr. eggman as a criminal...

all the people were in an uproar...

guy: what is he talking about?

woman: he's insane

even at G.U.N. headquarters everyone was speechless, no one imagined it was a trap and that z-12 let himself get captured with the purpose of re-activating the space colony

z-12: -moving a finger in negative way- no, no, no, ver poor behavior and judgement from you, its time for you to get some... punishment

he pressed a button and all of a sudden some kind of towers emerged from the ground, they were all gigantic, all of them formed an hexagon with a bigger tower in city's downtown, people started to panic

Sonic: what are those?

z-12: these are viral towers, they contain a special chemical that will allow me to modify and control the behavior of every single life form that gets infected with it, unfortunately, some people might not survive as this virus is extremely powerful, but you can avoid this fate

he pointed to a dark place next to him, from those shadows amy appeared, she had a blank look on her face, and she also had the same strange marks z-12 had on her body

z-12: unless you give into my demands, you will all suffer the same fate as this girl

President: what does he want...

the same question ran across all the people's minds

z-12: my demand is simple... hand sonic the hedgehog over to me at the space colony ARK... and if you refuse, you will suffer the consequences... you got 6 hours

the transmition then cut

Tails: what do we do?

Sonic: -grin- isnt it obvious? we have to go, after all i have a few business to solve with him

Tails: i guess you're right...

Sonic: besides, we can't leave amy there...

they all reached an agreement, it was time not only to rescue amy, but also save the entire city, and the world if possible

but sonic and his friends weren't the only ones who found out about the message, a certain black and red hedgehog saw it, and he used his chaos control to make his way to his old home...

unfortunately nobody imagine that something terrible would happen, something that not even sonic could stop...

to be continued...
