Rebellious Girl

Chapter 9

Author's P.O.V

In the dining hall of the Dimension Prison, Mephiles and Scourge were sitting at a lunch table. Scourge was tied back with a highly advanced hand-cuff machine. The bars were metal and it was connected all by, what looked like a blue lightning chain. Scourge was laughing mechanically.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA So, let me get this straight. You, the great 'mEpHiLeS tHe DaRk', wants my help, to take over the world of Mobius? You must be desperate."

"Enough of the mocking." Scourge sticks his tongue at him.

"Why do you need my help?" Mephiles lifts his hand, only showing one finger.

"One) you hate Sonic more than me and would much rather have him burning in hell with the rest of his friends." Scourge looks at him with a little enthusiasm; Mephiles lifts another finger. "Two) I know you don't want to stay in here for the rest of your 10 years of your life." Scourge's ears fold down with irritation; he knows he hates it here. Mephiles lifts one last finger. "And Three) you want more than just being feared by the world, you want to concur it." Scourge grins.

"Well, you figured this all out on your own have you?" Mephiles drops his hand on his own lap.

"I have. I've spent 3 years 'figuring' this out." Scourge lifts his own hand and inspects it, like how a woman would look at her hands if she broke a nail.

"And… what exactly are your potentials of taking over Mobius?" Scourge looks at Mephiles calmly.

"Simple" Mephiles answers "I want those three pathetic hedgehogs dead." He finishes that last sentence seriously. Scourge laughs.

"Is that it?" Mephiles is a bit curious now. "Please, you might be more powerful than me; but the reasons for your actions are just, hilarious." Mephiles growls. "Don't blame me, 'dark hedgehog'. Maybe re-think your reasons." Scourge teases him. Mephiles jolts up from his chair and stands hovering over the table and leans just so close to Scourge's face; which had a big smile on it.

"You know…" he starts. "I could just leave this place now, with you, in chains with me. Or, you could enjoy having that smug look on your face being blown into a thousand pieces." Mephiles threatens him, making Scourge weigh his options. Scourge's smile slowly starts disappearing; turning it into a frown. Scourge slowly gets up from his seat; glaring at Mephiles while doing so. He makes their foreheads touch and starts pushing Mephiles back by his head; but Mephiles only pushes back.

"Listen here, Shadow imitator, you are only going to fail your mission; whether you succeed or not. Those bitches will still stop you, like they have before." Scourge sneers; showing his fangs. "You're nothing." Mephiles just stares at his component. He finally starts chuckling, making Scourge narrow his eyes.

"I know my plan will work. You want to know why, Scourge?" Scourge's focus starts to go normal and pays attention.

"Why?"

"Have you heard of what Amy Rose has done recently?" Scourge looks at him with confusion.

"…No. What did she do?"

"She has committed."

"To what? Sex?" Scourge and Mephiles back away from each other and Scourge starts grinning; thinking of what he has said. He was hoping she has committed to sex.

"No." Mephiles says sitting back in his seat. Scourge does as well, but flops down; being a little disappointed.

"To what then?"

"To a drug." Scourge sits there, looking at him with a sarcastic look.

"Drugs? really?"

"Not 'drugs' you twit; a drug."

"Like what?"

"Scourge, have you ever heard of the 'mind-wanderer' drug."

"No…"

"Well, it's known as the 'mind-wanderer' drug because it completely erases your mind with fear, and fills it with nothing but freedom." Scourge thinks for a minute; trying to think of the drug he was talking about.

"What does it look like?" Scourge asks

"It's a creamy white colour."

"Shot or powder?"

"Powder…" Mephiles was getting a bit irritated having to start a '20 questions' game with Scourge.

"Where, on the part of your body would you insert this drug?" Mephiles lifts his hand to his temples on his forehead.

"Either through the nose or stirred into a liquid." Mephiles answers irritated.

Scourge doesn't see this, and willingly answers the name of the drug.

"It's Crack!" Scourge stands on his chair and does a pose.

"…no, it's not Crack." Mephiles says in a calm voice. Scourge frowns and looks at Mephiles.

"How could it not be Crack?" Scourge asks sitting back down into his chair.

"Crack is a simple drug that lets people act crazy and knocked up."

"…Isn't that the same what you just explained?" Mephiles smacks his hand on his forehead. Scourge just looks at him confused.
"This drug is called 'Chaos Flees'." Mephiles says with a sigh.

"…Chaos what?"

"Chaos Flees."

"What the hell is that?"

"Is known for Mobian Crack."

"Ah… So, this drug, Amy took it?" Mephiles nods. "What does it do to her?"

"It simply makes her more rebellious. More adventurous and more… blood thirsty." Scourge grins

"Ok, now I see, you're going to influence Amy into doing something so dangerous, it turns her against her friends and she wreaks havoc over town. That's when you and I come in and 'save' her and then totally backstab those mother fuckers. Am I right?"

"…Half or so."

"…"

"Maybe even a quarter right." Mephiles says going through what Scourge said in his head again. Scourge sits there and glooms. He finally lifts his head after a while.

"Are you going to get me out of here or what?" Mephiles snickers a bit.

"Finally decided to join me?"

"Yep" Scourge grins "I'm interested to know how this will turn out."

Amy's P.O.V

Ok, just for starters, I do not like shadow… so, why am I leaning against him while we're sleeping beside each other? Well, why don't you tell me, because I don't know why I was. I open my eyes slowly, awakening from no dream, only to be forced to awake by my brain and body. I feel something…heavy on me. I slowly look up and see a black figure shielding me from the sun. I focus more closely… and realize it's my saviour from last night…Shadow. I immediately feel my cheeks warm up, and it's not from his breath going onto me. I turn my head the other way, avoiding his…handsome face. 'GAH! I did not just think that!' my face becomes warmer. 'I have to get out of this position fast…'I lift my arms and grab onto Shadow's head; lifting it slowly. I don't want to wake him. I slowly crawl away from Shadow's body; still holding onto his head. Once my body is safely away from Shadow's, I start lowering his head. I'm surprised he hasn't woke up yet. I gently put his head on the grass and crawl back a few inches. I couldn't help but blush more once I saw him resting there on the ground. Just to clarify again, I don't like Shadow. Even though he's handsome and all and it looked like I liked him from rescuing me, doesn't mean that I have feelings for him. Besides… he could have any girl in the world, why would he want me? An obsessed, drug addicted freak. I stand up now, letting my tears flow in my eyes. 'Who would ever love me…I'm just the one that helps make the relationships. Not the one that gets one of her own…' I wipe my eyes, turning my body around. I see a tunnel against the rock mountain. 'That must be the way out of this place.' I start walking quietly towards that tunnel, until I spot a bunch a Chao, gathering up around a certain bush. There must have been a Chao egg cracking or something. I'm curious to see what a baby Chao looks like once it's hatched. I start my way towards the Chao covered bush until I hear a grunting sound. I freeze instantly in my spot. I turn my head towards Shadow, 'Maybe it was him…'

"uuuugggghhhh" I turn my head to the bush quickly and then I realize. There isn't an egg hatching, there's another person behind that bush. I cover my own mouth, I don't want to see who it is, but I quickly walk to where Shadow was laying. When I'm almost there, he has already woken up. He sits up in his spot and stretches his arms out. I quickly fall onto all my fours right behind him and he turns his head towards me.

"…Amy?" I lift my finger over my mouth and make shushing noises to make him quiet. He raises his eyebrow.

"What Amy?" I do it again, but this time I cover his mouth with my own hand. He glares at me almost. Then I mouth the words quietly, but audio for him to hear and not the stalker that's behind the bush.

"Someone's here, behind that bush." Shadow's eyes immediately look directly at the Chao surrounded bush. He slowly gets up and I copy him. We both stare at the bush, waiting for something to happen. And our wish came true; we heard another grunting noise, but it was louder than the ones I've heard. I turn my head to Shadow and he lifts his finger to his mouth making the same shushing noise as I did, but a lot quieter. He starts walking towards the bush while I get ready to run to the tunnel if it's anyone dangerous. Once he reaches the bush he leans his head over it, just to check who it is; his fists clenched and raised. Then, he was still, not moving. He starts…snickering. 'Why is he laughing?' he covers his mouth with his hands, suppressing his laughs. He walks over to me and I have a confused look on my face. He's trying to really hard not to burst into laughter…

"What? Who's here?" Shadow tries to say something without laughing like he's a maniac.

"It's, pfffttt, E-pfft, Espio!" after that he starts laughing. His laugh is dark and deep toned. I look at the bush and walk towards it. I look behind it and, sure enough, it was Espio. I was a little concerned at first… but that was until I saw him. Just like Shadow, I covered my mouth to keep my laughter from screeching him awake. Espio, laying there in the ground, had Chao eggs surrounding his body. Chao were walking and flying around him, checking on their eggs. To make it even better, there was an actual flower nest on Espio's head, his horn stood out of the nest. His chest was rising and de-rising every second. I think he was tickled a few times, that's why he was grunting before. I try so hard not to laugh, I even try looking away… still didn't work. Finally, I start to calm down… I think Shadow has too, he wasn't making anymore noises. I look at Shadow and he looks at me, well, that certainly did us in. In an instant, Shadow and I were laughing our asses off.

"Huh Wha-?" we both hear Espio's cracked up voice. It takes him a minute to realize all the Chao eggs around him, and another minute to notice the nest on his head.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Espio's yell was enough to make the Chao grab their eggs and fly somewhere safe. That makes Shadow and I laugh even more. Espio stands behind the bush, looking at us, but I don't know his expression since I had my eyes closed and tried holding back my laughter. But…I think he was growling though…

"You guys done laughing yet…?" Espio asks us. I started calming down a bit…I'm not so sure about Shadow though. I finally clear my throat.

"Yes, we are done Espio." I finally get to see his expression more clearly. He seems to almost be pouting… arms crossed and all.

"Good." Shadow has managed to come to his senses now. He walks to Espio and sets his hand on his shoulder.

"So, helping the Chao hatch their eggs?" Shadow snorts.

"Screw you." Espio says back to him. Shadow smirks.

"Anyway, what are you doing here anyway?" Shadow and I both stare at Espio, waiting for his answer.

"It was a coincidence really...I came here to rest. Only because Vector wanted to-"Espio freezes his speech and just stands there. Shadow and I glance at each other then back at Espio.

"Oh…Shit. The guys!" Espio suddenly says. "I forgot all about those two." Espio leans back with his hand over his forehead. "I'm so dead." Espio grunts.

"Hey don't worry about it. I'm sure their fine." Shadow tries relaxing Espio. He just glares at Shadow.

"Do you have any idea how badly their direction skills are? They could be half way to Spagonia by now." Shadow sighs.

"I know… I know" He pats Espio's shoulder while Espio glooms.

"I'm sure their ok, Espio…" I try relaxing him a bit now. "They've gone through worse than this, haven't they?" Espio looks up at me.

"…I guess so." I smile.

"Then, there's nothing to worry about." I say in the calmest and happiest tone. Espio manages to smile.

"I guess you're right, Amy." I walk over to him and pat his other shoulder.

"I'm always right, Espio." After we had a few chuckles and laughs, we all eventually left the garden; saying good-bye to the Chao. I couldn't believe how small the tunnel was… I barely got out with only a few cuts here and there. The other side of the tunnel was just as beautiful as the garden. We only gazed at the surrounding trees and waterfall for only a few minutes. Espio says that we have to get back to Rouge's house, since it had a secret pathway to Rouge's special club. 'Club Rouge' was basically the safest place to hide from the cops. I wasn't all in the idea that I had to return to Central Square; or meeting Sonic again. But… if it meant having to stay safe and avoid being arrested and losing my name as 'A Mobian Hero' then…I guess it is the only other option. I wonder how everyone is doing… I mean, with me being a fugitive and all. I hope I didn't influence Cream… or maybe lost my respect from Blaze. Or maybe…

"Amy…?" I look up and I see Shadow snapping his fingers in my face. I get blinded by the bright sun coming from above. I must have been lost in thought… I don't ever remember walking out of the forest so fast… I shake my head to come back to the world.

"I'm ok." Then I hear screaming… not a girl's scream in particular…but a boy scream. It might have been a yelp. Shadow must have heard it too; he was looking in the direction it came from. Then, there it was, a blue streak. Only one person I know that is surrounded with a blue streak. 'Sonic…' but… something is wrong… Sonic is running from something. He never runs away unless it's real danger. Then, I see a bunch of rocks, no, not even rocks, boulders, flying towards Sonic. I step back, watching. Shadow steps in front of me and stretches out his arm, like… he was protecting me. 'Why would he-"my thoughts were cut off by Sonic's yelping again. I look behind Shadow's arm and see that Sonic has fallen down; must have fallen because of a boulder almost hitting him or something. Hold on… I see a figure… another person. I try focusing more on him, and then I recognize him as soon as he speaks.

"YOU'RE DEAD SONIC!" Silver yells lifting up a boulder and hovers it over Sonic. Shadow acts instantly and runs over to where Sonic is; grabbing him before the boulder crushes him. Sonic and Shadow are breathing heavily, staring at the boulder. Silver walks over to the two and lifts Sonic with his psychokinesis powers. Shadow grabs Silver's arm, trying to make him drop Sonic. I run over to where they are. Sonic notices me first.

"Amy! Thank-god you're ok." I roll my eyes.

"Don't get any closer Amy, I am about to make Sonic into a pancake." Silver threatens me to stay back. I stop in my footing, now Silver is trying to get Shadow to back away as well. Until

"SILVER!" I look behind Silver and Shadow and I see Blaze, running from behind the hill. Knuckles following her.

"SILVER! STOP, LET HIM GO!" I assume she means Silver to let go of Sonic. "STOP SILVER! IT WASN'T HIS FAULT!" '… 'wasn't his fault'? What did Sonic do?' Silver glares at Sonic and growls. Blaze finally catches up to Silver and grabs onto his arm.

"Silver, let Sonic go, it wasn't his fault."
"Really, 'cause Knuckles says it was all Sonic's fault."

"No, no, no, I agreed to it." Knuckles walks up from behind Blaze, breathing hard.

"Actually" Knuckles starts panting a bit and lifting up an arm. "He persuaded you into doing it." Silver goes wide-eyed and turns to Sonic. Sonic I can say… looks like he's about to shit his pants. With a swing of Silver's arm, Sonic went flying right passed me and right into the trees behind me. I stood there frozen.

"Amy?" Blaze says, realizing I was standing there. She runs up to me and wraps her arms around me, giving me a tight hug. I gasp.

"AMY! I'm so glad you're ok!" she steps back, smiling at me; I smile back.

"I'm glad to see you too, Blaze."

"Can, either you or Knuckles enlighten me on why silver is pissed at Sonic?" Shadow says walking up to Blaze.

"…Uh…" Blaze starts…blushing? 'Why is Blaze blushing? Does she like Shadow?' Knuckles comes up to Shadow and places his hand on his shoulder.

"Well, to tell ya the truth Shadow. Last night, while you and everyone else were looking for Amy; Sonic, Blaze and I stayed at Rouge's house and waited to see if Amy would come back to the house." Knuckles continue. "So, I decided to take a little nap, since it was late and I was tired." Shadow nods. "And, I awake just for a second, because I heard some noise. And…Sonic was leaning over Blaze, kissing her." I look at Blaze, who, in fact, was blushing. 'Oh…That's why she was blushing' I look at Shadow, who has narrowed his eyes. 'Uh oh…'

"He… was kissing Blaze?" Shadow asks Knuckles with a dark tone of voice.

"Yep." Shadow starts walking to Sonic. I watch him.

"This doesn't look good…"

"No, it doesn't." Blaze replies. I see Shadow hovering over Sonic's body and stretching out his arm. I think he wants to help Sonic up. Sonic smiles and grabs Shadow's hand. I see his mouth moving… maybe he's saying 'thank-you'. Then Shadow clutches Sonic's wrist and Sonic's eyes widen. Shadow turns his head to us and yells

"SILVER! GO LONG!" Shadow immediately grabs Sonic's arm with both his hands and spins him around. I turn to look at Silver, who stands, ready to run. I turn my head as soon as I hear Sonic's screaming. Shadow has flung Sonic towards us, but was high in the air. Silver lifts up a boulder with his powers and holds it sideways. Silver starts running back a bit, with the boulder following him. Sonic starts losing altitude. Silver moves the boulder back a bit and as soon as Sonic is low enough to the ground, Silver pushes the boulder forward, hitting Sonic directly. The force pushes Sonic so far into the forest; I lost sight of him as soon as I turned my head around. I can't hear Sonic's scream anymore… Blaze sighs and does a face-plant with her hand. Shadow comes rushing up to Silver and gives him a high-five.

"Nice hit!" Shadow congratulates Silver

"Nice throw!" both Shadow and Silver laugh, while Blaze glooms.

"Blaze…?" I'll try talking with her.

"Yeah?" she looks up at me.

"You ok?" she nods her head.

"Yeah, I'm ok. I'm just…disappointed."

"About what?" I try talking over Shadow and Silver's celebration

"In Silver; he should know that I'm not that naïve to fall for another man." Blaze gasps and covers her mouth. I think she was blushing too… "Forget I said that." I chuckle

"It's ok, you're secret's safe with me." She smiles. I turn my head as soon as I feel some weight on my shoulder.

"So, who found you?" Silver asks. I point my finger to Shadow. "Oh, shadow found you." Silver grins and turns his head to Shadow. "So… if you found her, why didn't you take her back to the house?"

"Wasn't going to risk getting caught by the cops." Shadow replies.

"Dude… you have Chaos Control, you could of teleported to the house. Or… you're just saying that because you wanted to spend some 'alone time' with Amy." Silver says with a grin. I immediately feel my cheeks warm up and get butterflies in my stomach. Shadow blushes a little pink.

"N-no, I didn't do that."

"Sure, right Shadow. Of course it wouldn't be that hard. I mean, she is cute you have to admit." Silver looks at me. I blush even more and look down. Silver chuckles and Blaze growls.

"What about me, Silver?" Blaze asks.

"Blaze, Amy is cute, but you're beautiful." I see Shadow roll his eyes and Blaze blush.

"Are we going to stand here and talk about how beautiful and cute girls are… or are we going to find Sonic?" Espio comes out of nowhere. I actually forgot he was here.

"Nah, I'm sure Sonic's fine." Shadow tells Espio.

"Still, it might be a good idea to look for him. He did go pretty far…"

"Alright, alright. We'll go look for him." Shadow starts walking towards the forest with all of us following him. Silver runs up beside Shadow.

"Seriously though, you two didn't get close last night?" this time, I think Shadow was irritated this time. He thrusts his arm towards Silver, punching him in the face. I make a face and mouth 'ouch'.

"Ask me that question again weed-head and I'll beat you up so hard that Blaze won't even think twice before getting too close to you." Silver gets up weakly and raises his hands.

"Ok, ok, I'll stop." Knuckles and Espio chuckle while Blaze sighs. As soon as we enter the forest, something stops Blaze. I look behind me and I see Knuckles has grabbed onto her shoulders.

"Knuckles? What's wrong?" Blaze asks him, trying to get out of Knuckles' grasp. He doesn't move nor speak; he just stands there… looking forward and pale. Shadow and Silver come on each side of me.

"Knuckles buddy, what's up?" Shadow asks. Again, Knuckles doesn't reply. All five of us look at each other, then to Knuckles. He becomes paler, more wide-eyed; he starts to scare me. Knuckles opens his mouth… and let's go of Blaze. Blaze rushes to Silver's side, staying away from Knuckles.

"The island…" he finally says. We all glance at each other.

"What Knuckles?" I ask.

"The island… Tikal, she's… in danger." My eyes go wide.

"Ti-Tikal! What's wrong!" I ask.

"She…was attacked. She…sent me an S.O.S." we all stare at him. I think he panics now. "SHIT! GUYS! We have to get to Angel Island now! We'll worry about Sonic later, but this is an emergency!" I was right. Knuckles panicked. Espio tries calming Knuckles down by shaking him from the shoulders.

"Calm down Knuckles! If it's really urgent we'll go get the Tornado XI!" I think Knuckles was on board with that plan. He grabbed Espio's arm and started running to Tails and Sonic's house.

"COME ON YOU GUYS! TIKAL COULD BE HURT!" he calls back at us. Shadow sighs and grabs my arm. He whispers to me to grab Silver's arm. I do so. Silver must know what Shadow is going to do, so he grabs Blaze's arm. With all of us connected, Shadow yells "CHAOS CONTROL!" in a green flash, we all arrive at Tails' workshop.

"You guys stay here while I go get Espio and Knucklehead." After that Shadow was gone. I turn my head at the little workshop Tails had. 'Was Tikal really in danger? Maybe…it was…'I shake my head. 'No, no, no, Scourge could never escape a facility and walk all the way from Prison Island to come get Tikal…would he?'

OK, just so you guys dont get confused... Shadow never really mentioned where he put Scourge when they caught him. So, only Shadow, Tikal and Eggman knew where Shadow actually put him. . So, everyone assumed he put scourge on Prison Island.
