'Tikal, get Cream and Cosmo out of here!' Tails exclaimed.
Tikal did as she was told after she was snapped out of her horrified trance by Silver and Shadow who led the three girls away to the lounge room, too distraught and/or shocked to watch the scene unfold before them any longer. Sonic remained kneeling on the floor by Amy's bed, gripping her hand in both of his as Rouge and Blaze stood behind him, holding their tears back and forcing themselves to think positively.
'We have to try and extract the toxins.' Doctor Cooper said, before gesturing for Knuckles to pass him a syringe.
'Won't that will extract the medicine as well?!' He asked, passing the large needle over.
'No, anything that even remotely made it into her system shouldn't have left her stomach yet.'
'Tails, pass me another syringe.' Doctor Wolowitz exclaimed.
'She's flat lining, hurry!' Doctor Sweeny screeched.
'Don't leave us, Amy! You can't leave me!' Sonic yelled at the unconscious rosy hedgehog.
The two doctors tried their hardest to extract as much of the toxins as they could from the young girl's body whilst still watching the monitors, hoping it would take away some of the abnormal cells as well. It was no use, the cancer had taken over her too far and fast. The familiar beep of the flat lining monitor sounded before the doctors put down the syringes slowly and stepped away…
They shut off the heart rate monitor, cutting off the piercing, beeping sound before Doctor Fowler placed a comforting hand on Tails' shoulder. He instructed his doctors to quickly pack up their minor equipment and head out straight away, which they did so calmly and quietly.
'I'm sorry, Son.' Doctor Fowler said to Tails.
'No. She isn't?' Tails stammered.
'She's not in pain anymore.' Doctor Sweeny said as her and the others stood up with their gear.
'No, no? There has to be something you can do?' Rouge stuttered as her and Blaze turned to the doctors.
'We are so sorry, ladies. We offer our deepest condolences, and if there is anything else you might need-'
'I've got something.' Sonic cut Doctor Wolowitz off as he stood up from Amy's bedside.
'Sonic?' Tails questioned.
'I want that syringe filled with the cancerous toxins.'
'What on earth for?!' Doctor Cooper asked.
'Because I'm going to kill him.'
After Amy passed away, her blue hero turned dark. His fur began to flame and his fur turned a midnight blue, causing the doctors to bid Tails a quick goodbye and run, taking the syringes with them and planning to dispose of them. Tails and Knuckles tried to calm their best friend down with words of comfort and wisdom, but it was no use…
The blue hedgehog turned around and looked at his pink love's body, her limp, lifeless body, before letting out a piercing roar and bolting out of the garage at supersonic speed. Blaze and Rouge were holding back their sobs, but unable to hide their tears, knowing where Sonic was headed but still trying to process the fact their closest friend had died before their eyes.
'He really will kill him!' Blaze sobbed.
'We have to go after him, I'll go and get the others. We leave now!' Knuckles exclaimed, forcing himself to run upstairs to find Tikal huddled into Shadow's arms and Cream cuddled up into Cosmo who was being comforted by Silver. At the sight of the red echidna, they all leapt to their feet, praying he had the news they all wanted to hear. As Knuckles was about to speak, he felt a though all the oxygen in his being had been stolen, hitching his breath and stopping him from saying even the smallest of words.
'Is she?' Silver asked.
'She's… she's gone.' Knuckles winced, allowing a tear to roll down his cheek.
Shadow quickly brought Tikal into his chest, holding her until her sobs subsided even in the slightest. Cream and Cosmo began to cry hysterically into each other before their brother figure, Silver, brought them into a tight squeeze. Knuckles gave them a few seconds to process, still forcing himself to stay strong, for the others and for Amy.
'Sonic's gone after Eggman.' Knuckles stammered.
'What?' Cream asked.
'He turned dark faster than I've ever seen him before. He's going to kill him, we have to go now.' Knuckles said before heading downstairs.
The others immediately follow the red echidna down to the garage where Rouge, Blaze and Tails already have the Tornado ready to go. Everyone took their place before speeding out of the garage and headed towards where they last encountered the obese doctor. The ruins of his old base…
'You sick piece of shit!' Sonic exclaimed as he kicked Eggman in the stomach.
'S-Sonic, I swear, I-I'm-'
'No! Don't you dare try and apologise!' Sonic cut the doctor off with another swift kick before lifting him up and throwing him against the nearest wall.
After the gang destroyed Eggman's base, he was shockingly able to rebuild the majority of it thanks to new pieces of machinery that he had stored away for this sort of predicament. Which unfortunately for him, backfired and worked in Sonic's favour post Amy's death. Sonic arrived at the 'new' base within seconds before barging down the door to find Eggman going about his evil ways in the control room.
When he arrived, the doctor's two sidebots and childish messenger were there before disappearing in a cowardly manner at the mere sight of the angry hedgehog. Instinctively, Eggman grew cocky, wanting to know what the surprise visit was for. He soon grew less enthused once Sonic told him Amy was dead, thanks to Gama-Change. After a few brief sentences, Sonic charged and began his violent attack on Doctor Eggman…
'Ask yourself, Sonic… In all the years we've been enemies, have I ever really tried to kill you or the others?' Eggman panted, struggling to his feet.
'What does that have to do with anything?!' Sonic snapped.
'Then surely you know this was not my intentions. I can show you my plans for Gama-Change, Amy was never meant to be injected with-'
'I couldn't give two shits about what was meant to happen, Eggman! Amy is dead because of you!' Sonic said before spin dashing the doctor into the same wall.
'Sonic, please. I beg for mercy.'
'No, now you pay the price.' Sonic said darkly as he sauntered towards the doctor.
He gripped his enemy's trench coat and lift him up to his own eye level, staring deep into his weak and cowardly soul before rapidly turning him around and wrapping one arm around the grossly obese man's neck as he place the other hand on the side of his head, ready make his kill.
'Sonic, stop!' Silver exclaimed from the door.
'Don't do this, Blue!' Rouge added.
Sonic looked up to find his team members and closest friends standing at the entrance to the base, watching him turn into to something he wasn't, something he swore he'd never be and something he swore to protect others from. Tails looked at his brotherly figure horrified, watching him prepare to kill their enemy for real after the death of their friend. Shadow and Knuckles took a few steps forward, trying to ease their way towards the furious hedgehog.
'Killing Eggman won't bring her back.' Shadow stated calmly.
'It will make things right, even.' Sonic protested.
'That's not true and you know it, Sonic. What would Amy say if she saw you like this?' Knuckles said, causing Sonic to loosen his grip slightly.
'Please, help me.' Eggman begged.
'Shut up, or I swear to Chaos-'
'Don't stoop to his level, Sonic.' Cosmo cut him off as she walked forward.
'He isn't worth our time anymore, not that his plans ever were.' Blaze added.
'This isn't how we're going to remember Amy Rose! She isn't going to die in vain.' Tikal said shakily.
'Now, let go of Doctor Eggman and come home, Sonic. Please…' Cream said as she walked towards the blue blur and outstretched her hand.
Sonic thought about this for a few seconds, still tempted to take out his enemy once and for all and make him pay for what he did to Amy. He eventually released his grip completely and pushed Eggman to the ground, allowing him to hit the ground harshly, before walking over to his friends. His dark blue glow faded back to his natural, cerulean colour as he walked passed them and out the door for the last time…
It had been almost a week since Amy's passing and since Sonic came home after almost killing Eggman. When they returned home, Sonic took Amy's body back to her own home where he changed her dress and lay her down in her own bed. Sonic then lay on the bed with her, resting his head on her chest and interlocking his fingers with hers, unable to accept the fact she was really gone.
He hadn't left her room, let alone her house since he got there. He hadn't eaten, slept, showered or even run in all that time. He just lay there motionless and quiet, waiting to fade away into nothing himself. Tails tried to bring him home once or twice but was viciously shut down each time, deciding to leave it a little longer before trying again.
'He's still there?' Cream asked as she sipped her tea.
'It's been nearly a week. He just lies there next to her, like he's either waiting for her to wake up or for him to die with her.' Tails said sadly as he took a drink of his soda.
'Do the others know?' Cream arched her eyebrow.
'They do. I think Knuckles and Rouge even tried to get him to leave at one point, but he just turned vicious again.'
'That's so sad, Tails. I wish we could help him.'
'I've tried, Cream, but he's so sad and angry it's just no use yet.'
'I miss her.' Cream admitted, a tear rolling down her cheek.
'So do I, Cream. So do I.'
After Cream left Tails' garage after a quick visit, she made her way slowly down the dirt path that headed towards her cottage home. She couldn't help but think about Sonic, and how he just lay with Amy day in and day out. They were all just as devastated as he was, but he clearly wasn't taking it as well.
The gang knew for sure now he either admitted to her his true feelings or admitted it to himself. After it came up in a conversation one night a few days ago, Blaze was forced to spill his secret. She knew it wouldn't bother him anymore, plus it allowed everyone to understand why he was acting the way he was. Cream decided she couldn't take it anymore, she was going to Amy's house and she was going to help him.
Sonic was clearly past the stage of needing help, but if anyone could do it, she could. She ran the rest of the way to where Amy's cottage home still remained before she opened the front door, thanking Chaos Sonic was too tired to get out of bed and lock it. She stepped inside the living room, looking around to find it was dusty and dark. It made her feel so sad and empty…
'Sonic? Sonic, where are you?'
