Chapter 10: A Path Of No Return
The party carried on throughout the night, giving Amy a perfect opportunity to slip away and get to her meeting. She knew that if she was followed it would be the end for her little paradise, so she took precautions each time she went to meet 'her'. Amy saw Lex walking down the path that led to the town which was good for her.
She jogged to the forest and started slipping past all the trees with ease. When she was younger, Sally used to show her all the short cuts around Mobius. Amy dusted off the memory as she was getting close to her destination. She got to a clearing and there her robotic friend was, Sally Acorn.
"Hay Sally, sorry I'm late. Got caught up in a party, but you already know that don't you?" Amy greeted whilst the robot turned its head towards Amy. Amy felt sad for her friend; she had practically thrown her life away to save the people of Mobius. Amy had hated beforehand but after that moment in time no-one who knew Sally had no mercy for .
"Your phone is easy to hack with my monitors in place. I have informed you before to give your devices to Tails so I can have a challenge but I know there is only a 20% chance of you doing so." Sally replied with her mechanical voice of hers. To Amy she kind of sounded like Nicole in her early stages. Amy had commented on this before but got no reply so she changed the subject.
"Amy, you're getting too connected to Sonic. I am close to tuning the machine to perfection and then all I have to do is find a sufficient power source." Sally continued, "Remember our agreement Amy." All Amy could do is nod, she knew she made a deal and she kept her deals. The two friends just stared at each other sadly. This is what war had done to them. This is what had done to them. This is what he had done to all of Mobius.
"Sally how long do you think it will take for you to get the machine working?" Amy asked trying to look for a positive in her situation; she didn't have to have the intelligence of a robot to recognise that her days with Sonic were slimming down. Sally scanned her files and proceeded to say "The maximum amount of time should be a month and minim should be two weeks. My results are 87% accurate. Probability of failure is 6%, fine tuning is still needed."
Amy's emotions were all over the place. She was happy for Sally and that this ordeal will be over... But she also knew it could cause a disruption with the group and that Sonic would never trust her again. She wished she could back out of this whole thing but she knew it wasn't that easy. Amy would never back out of helping her friends and only now she realised this would be her down fall.
Amy wouldn't let her emotions get to her now, her friend needed her help and she had to follow through with this. "Well let's start the search up again!" Amy exclaimed with a fake optimism that hided her shadows of sadness. Amy and Sally started walking through the forest as Amy thought of all her other friends, her family and even Sonic. She didn't want to be on this path but she couldn't get away from it. It was the path of no return…
