Tails was the first to wake up the next morning, he got cleaned up and dressed and headed down stairs upon him getting down stairs he noticed Amy asleep on his couch and suddenly remembered last night how she was upset about something but he couldn't really remember at the time because of the feel of emptiness in his stomach so he decided to slip quietly past her and head into the kitchen to make them some breakfast.

As he was cooking he could her small moans coming from the living room which signaled to him that Amy was waking up, she woke up and strolled into the kitchen because she could smell the food that Tails was cooking.

"Good Morning Amy hope you slept well last night." Tails greeted and said

"Not really cause what I told you last night would not leave my mind and it was difficult to sleep." Amy replied as she sat down at the table

"Come to think of it you might have to refresh my memory because I was half asleep when you were talking to me last night but I could tell that you were highly upset about something." Tails finished placing a plate of food in front of Amy.

Amy took a few bites of the meal placed in front of her and took a few sips of her orange juice before taking in a deep breath and relaxing her mind as Tails sat in front of her with his food and beverage starting to eat.

"I…Found…Sonic" Amy said slowly trying to choke back tears.

Tails stopped in his tracks off eating his breakfast and dropped his fork.

"What did you say?" Tails asked trying to be sure he heard right

"I Found Sonic". Amy repeated herself but much clearer this time around.

"Amy are you sure it was Sonic you found?" Tails asked

"Yes I found him and you wouldn't believe where and it's all my fault he is where he is right now and what's worse what's going to happen to him if we don't try to rescue him." Amy explained taking another sip of her orange juice.

"Oh you best believe we'll save him let me get everybody over here and you can explain yourself and maybe we can come up with a plan of rescue." Tails explained as he grabbed his phone and at speeds as fast as Sonic called everybody over to his place as there was a breakthrough of the missing Sonic case.

Eggman's Base

Eggman cackled within his base his evil laugh reverberating off the walls causing Scourge to awaken from his sleep.

"What the hell are you cackling about so early in the morning Eggman?" Scourge asked

"Because the machine is complete and up and running the Chaos Emeralds are in place and all systems are go we can finally go through with our plans now hurry and get changed we must threaten our nemesis's and give them at least a fighting chance to save their hero." Eggman replied and Scourge went and got cleaned up and changed.

"You see Eggy that's where you always mess up trying to give our enemies a chance to stop us why do we need to give them a chance let's just do it and get it over with the less they know the better." Scourge replied

"Well the reason I mentioned that Scourge is because they have been looking for their little blue friend for quite some time we should at least let them know where he is right?" Eggman replied and asked

"No we shouldn't besides I'm pretty sure they will be finding out shortly and coming to his aid all on their own accord." Scourge replied and mentioned

"What do you mean Scourge?" Eggman asked

"Well last night after I finished working on the machine a bit I decided to check the security footage in Sonic's cell to see if he was up to anything and you'll never believe what I found." Scourge explained

"Well what is it don't keep me in suspense." Eggman shouted

"Look here." Scourge stated as he brought up the video footage he mentioned it was Amy sitting in Sonic's cell talking to him and the footage continued on until Amy hugged him and ran away.

"Well if I know that pink hedgehog well enough she's probably gone off to get reinforcements to help rescue him and we will have a big surprise ready for them." Eggman finished as he pressed a button on the console that revealed an armada of robots ready for attack as both he and Scourge shared and evil laugh together before Scourge headed off to Sonic's cell

"Well loser today is the day where things will indeed change for you that is." Scourge finished as left the cell area continuing his evil laughter.

Tails House

After Tails called everybody and let them about the breakthrough with the Sonic disappearance they rushed over to his place as quickly as they all could get there and everybody got there as within a matter of minutes after the heard the news from Tails. Amy had went home to get changed and promised she would return as quick as she could for the meeting.

"Alright Tails we're here now tell us what you found out about Sonic and it better be good." Shadow replied

"Patience is a virtue Shadow we shall begin momentarily."Tails finished just as knock could be heard at his door he went to answer the door and it was Amy coming back from her house she walked into the room behind Tails with everybody surprised to even see her.

"What is she doing here I thought she didn't want anything to do with the search for Sonic." Shadow stated

"Yeah I mean she wouldn't even join you on your aerial search for the guy so why is she here now?"Knuckles asked

"Because you guys she is the one who found Sonic now quit making her feel bad about yesterday and give her chance to tell her story at least. Tails replied

"Amy you found Sonic?" Rouge asked as she nodded and her face suddenly fell from view and tears started to form in her eyes.

"Oh Amy please don't cry the guys were just being a bunch of jerks as they always are here come and sit down and explain yourself. Shade explained and offered as Amy walked over and sat down in the chair all eyes were then on her as took in a deep breath.

"It happened yesterday after I dropped Luke off in the area where he lived he didn't want to show me where he lived for some reason so being myself I followed him to where he lived just cause I was curious." Amy started

"Why didn't he want you to know where he lived?" Cream asked

"Shut up and quit interrupting." Knuckles stated making Cream cry in which Shade responded and bopped Knuckles upside the head.

"Ow, what was that for?"Knuckles asked

"For making Cream cry now don't tell her to shut up anymore she was only being curious." Shade finished as she nodded for Amy to continue.

He didn't want me to know cause he lived in the bad part of town and well I took my hammer with just in case for protection, I followed him down an old alley way that was dimly lit with a flickering light there he pressed a sequence of bricks on the wall and the walls parted slowly as he entered into the area it was lucky for me that the walls closed slow enough for me to make it through them. I then followed him into an area that looked like a lab and there I heard his voice it was Eggman.

"EGGMAN!" everybody shouted in unison which made Amy stop only for a brief moment.

"Yeah it was Eggman and he was talking to somebody named Scourge I was curious as to who Scourge was and looked out from behind the machine I was hiding behind and that's when I saw him Luke is actually some guy named Scourge my heart fell flat at that moment as I continued to listen to their conversation I heard them mention a prisoner they had and Scourge giving the guy some kind of beating or otherwise, it was then that Scourge left and went to make their prisoner something to eat." Amy continued

"Why did your heart fall Amy?" Rouge asked

"Cause I thought that Luke or Scourge as I now Know was going to be different and because I smacked Sonic for accusing him of being Scourge don't you remember Rouge I told you what happened between mw and Sonic that night when I should have listened to him now I feel absolutely foolish cause after I found I remembered you guys told me that Sonic went missing I then decided to check the area out a little more that's when I came to an area that looked like a prison I could light groans and moans and a small shuffling sound as I came close to a cell with iron door and electrical field around it." "Knowing Eggman the cell was easy to get into I walked inside and started talking to the person inside." Amy stopped slowly starting to cry again.

"The person inside the cell was Sonic wasn't it Amy?" Shadow asked

"Yes, I didn't know it first until he gave me a hint and I figured it out it turns out he turned himself over to Eggman as a way…as a way of." Amy stopped again burying her face in her hands and crying hysterically and slipping out of the chair onto the floor.

"As a way of what tell us right now" Knuckles stated picking Amy up by her shoulders and shaking her when Shadow punched him in the jaw causing him to drop Amy safely back into the chair.

"Stop it can't you see this is hard for her and it isn't hard to realize Knucklehead he turned himself over to Eggman as a way of protecting her cause Eggman obviously threatened Sonic that if he didn't he would make Luke or Scourge hurt her." Shadow explained

"Amy is that true what Shadow just said?" Tails asked with Amy nodding still crying tears flowing down her face at a rapid pace.

"Please forgive me you guys this is all my fault we have to help him please if anyone can help you guys can please I'm begging you." Amy finished wiping away her tears as all the girls then hugged her tight.

"You can bet we will save him Amy you can count on it all you have to do is lead the way." Shadow stated placing a hand on Amy's shoulder she looked up at him and simply nodded.

It was then that they began to formulate a plan of attack and rescue to save their best friend from the captivity of Eggman and Scourge.

Eggman's Base

Eggman was busy programming the machine when Eggman returned with Sonic hooked to the chain and was resisting with all his might trying to get away from Scourge as best he could but the more he struggled the more the collar around his neck shocked making him grow weaker and weaker by the minute.

Scourge the strapped Sonic to a table with arms shackled by two shackles and his legs by one it was at this moment that Scourge attached two small devices to Sonic's arms that when he pulled it tight something pierced Sonic's arms and a headband on his head that had wires hooked up to it.

"Now that he's all set up now we merely wait for his friends to be captured." Eggman stated from up in the computer chair as the platform that Sonic was strapped to rose from the ground to same level as Eggman.

"Soon you little blue pimple you will be out of my way for good and no one will ever stand in my way of world domination ever again." Eggman replied in a teasing tone

"E-Eggman, S-Scourge is going to be-." Sonic started only to pass out from all his pain.

Tails House

"Alright Amy did you get a good look at the sequence he used to get into the base?" Shadow asked

"No I'm sorry I couldn't cause the place was dimly lit." Amy replied

"It's alright a few well placed bombs could us inside." Tails suggested

"Upon entrance we'll go on the attack cause if I know Eggman he has an armada of robots waiting for us." "Everybody keep your guards up we know that Eggman fights dirty and if we must we too will fight dirty." "Amy while we take out Eggman's robots sense you know where Sonic is locked up at you head there and free him." Shadow suggested as they all nodded understanding the plan and hopping into Shadow truck with all the supplies they could possibly need when Tails spoke.

"Hey, Shadow let's run by Sonic's place and get the Chaos Emeralds." Tails suggested as they headed to Sonic's place.

They got there in a mere 10 minutes Tails and Shadow got out the truck and headed inside of Sonic's apartment complex with landlord speaking.

"Hey Tails guess who came home yesterday after so long?" The landlord asked

"Who?" Tails asked

"Sonic yeah that's right Sonic and when you see him when you get up there tell him I dig what he's done with his fur." The landlord replied

"What has he done to his fur?" Shadow asked

"He died his fur green and that is pretty decent for a change if you ask me well tell him I said hi anyway." The landlord finished as Tails and Shadow looked at each other and instantly panicked and instead of taking the elevator the ran up the stairs as fast as they could Tails flew ahead and got the keys and quickly opened the door upon them entering they found they place completely trashed. Tails headed over to the secret wall panel he built and found the Emeralds were gone they then rushed back down to the truck and jumped in and told everybody that Scourge had stole the Emeralds.

"How did he get his hands on the Emeralds or better yet how did he find out where they were?" Tails asked

When Amy remembered her night at the restaurant with Luke and remembered she accidently let it slip where the Emeralds were to Scourge. She then started to cry again.

"Oh God I am the worst person in the world I accidently told him where they were, you guys should just throw me out of the car right now cause I may have caused great destruction." Amy stated as she tried to get out of the truck when everybody pulled her back into the truck door and yelled at her in unison.

"Stop being stupid Amy we're not giving up yet." The yelled as she sat back down in her seat and continued their journey to Eggman's base with them arriving shortly.

Amy then showed them the way to the area as Tails placed the bombs on the wall and set them to explode in 30 seconds they ran around the corner as the bombs exploded and revealed the entrance.

They headed inside just as the alarms started to blare announcing their presence in the base as a fleet of robots went instantly on the attack with everybody keeping up their guards while Amy went to the cell block area to get her part of the mission complete.

The robots attacked at a furious rate they then started coming by the hundreds backing everybody into the corners of the base and smothering them with a barrage of attacks causing them to fall in defeat and be carried off toward where Eggman was located.

Amy made it to the cell block and instantly made her way back to his cell she quickly opened the door and went inside she couldn't see Sonic anymore neither his eyes but she could hear small sounds from within the cell. She reached out into the darkness and was grabbed by somebody.

"Sonic is that you come on let's go we're here to get you out of here now let's go." Amy stated as she tried to pull away but was pulled back with her arm being forced behind her back.

"You're not going anywhere." The voice stated as Any turned around to try and see who had her, she turned around and looked as the expression on her face changed from brave to completely horrified at who had her restrained it wasn't Sonic it was Scourge. She was then forced out of the cell and forced to walk all the way back to the main lab where Eggman was as she forced to her knees by Scourge with her arms cuffed behind her when the robots bought all her friends in beaten and barely conscious.

"Well, well if it isn't the triumphant heroes coming to save their little friend but, as you can plainly see you are all too late but, not too late however to witness the end of all my problems with the hedgehog as the platform that Sonic was attached turned around where he could be seen by his friends.

"SONIC!" The all looked up and shouted in unison at the same time as Sonic brought his head up with the little strength he had left and managed to look hid friends in the eyes.

"Behold you worthless fools The EGGSTRACTOR a machine powered by the Chaos Emeralds in which I will use their power to drain Sonic of his speed making him a slow regular hedgehog just like the pitiful Amy rose down there now witness the end of the fastest thing alive." Eggman finished as he activated the machine, Sonic mouthed three final words to Amy which was I Love You as he started to scream in pain as he indeed felt something being drawn from his body. He continued to scream at the top his lungs as all his friends looked on as then the platform he was attached to started to spin and be enveloped by a white light similar to that of Chaos Control but Eggman didn't know anything about this phase of the machine.

"Scourge what have you done to the machine that wasn't supposed to happen." Eggman stated

"I know I made it happen and thanks for helping me build my machine now my plans for world domination shall come to fruition and you were nothing but my patsy in all this thank you Eggy." Scourge finished as he clapped his hands and made one of Eggman's robots grab him and shackle him like Sonic's friends as the machine continued to spin and Sonic's screams soon went unheard as the machine spun faster and faster until the machine exploded sending everybody flying back from the force of the explosion.

After the explosion was over and the smoke started to clear they stood up with explosion breaking their handcuffs and shackles.

They got up and walked over to where the machine once stood and saw Scourge standing there with another hedgehog. They walked closer to Scourge only to be blown away by a small burst of energy. The smoke cleared to reveal Scourge holding up his hand and Sonic standing next to him.

"Sonic is that you?" Amy asked

"Oh he's Sonic alright but, just not the Sonic you know isn't that right my now evil brother?" Scourge stated and asked

"Indeed you are correct Scourge." Sonic stated as he smiled an evil smile with his friends in total shock.
