Failure

Everyone watched dumbstruck as Sonic embraced the enraged hedgehog, making her drop her hammer in the process.

"Sonic!" shouted Tails.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" yelled Rouge.

Sonic paid no attention all that mattered at that point was Amy. The said pink hedgehog was trying to push him off. Sonic only held on tighter.

"Amy," he whispered soothingly. "It's alright."

Amy only growled a writhed in his embrace.

"Amy, I want to help you."

"Sonic are you crazy?!" Knuckles roared.

"She's not the same anymore!" added Shadow.

"I want you back. I want the old Amy back," Sonic whispered gripping tighter. "Amy come back to us….to me."

Amy stopped struggling as she listened to Sonic's calm and loving words.

"I know you can break free. The Amy I know is strong and determined. She'd never let her mind be controlled by someone like Eggman."

"Give up Sonic, she can't hear you," boasted Dr. Robotnik.

Sonic ignored him and kept talking. "I know your still in there somewhere."

"Sonic," she answered a little above a whisper.

He immediately pulled back a little to see her eyes, which her bangs covered.

"Oh Sonic," she whispered.

"Amy," he gasped.

Amy smirked. "You're pathetic!"

With that, Amy roughly pushed Sonic to the ground.

"Amy?"

The said hedgehog laughed loud and cruelly. "You didn't think it was that easy, did you?"

"What's going on?" Knuckles shouted.

"Why didn't she change back?" Tails added.

Sonic growled, turning to the mad doctor. "Eggman!"

The mad doctor above laughed insanely. "It's too complicated for you all to understand, but I'll make it simple for you. That little device on Amy's head was not only there for me to control her, but also to alter her mind."

"NO!" Tail cried.

"Tails, what's goin' on? What's he mean?" Shadow asked.

"How simple are you simpletons? I or the device I humbly created brainwashed Amy…permanently! And now all she can think, feel, and breathe is hatred and evil…just like yours truly."

"Amy," Sonic whispered

"The 'Amy' you all knew and loved is now long gone. This new hedgehog only knows nothing, but evil and serves me. Face it; you've lost Sonic! Finally!"

"NO!" Rouge screamed.

"AMY!" yelled Knuckles.

"I don't know who or why you're screaming at me? But that'll end soon enough!" Amy charged.

Thus, the fight started all over again. Amy was swinging her hammer an anyone or moving thing. Everyone dashed out of the way as fast as they could, everyone except Sonic. He was still shocked and broken after hearing that the pink-happy-go-lucky hedgehog he adored was gone forever. Suddenly, a jolt of pain came and he found himself slammed to the ground.

"SONIC!" everyone cried.

Dr. Robotnik laughed hysterically. "Maybe you should watch where the bat's swinging Sonic. Or in this case the hammer! Hahaha!"

Amy sneered. "Get up and fight Sonic!"

Sonic staggered to his feet. "A-A-Amy…I don't-"

"Well if you won't attack," Amy charged. "Then I will!"

Amy charge directly towards the broken blue hero. Sonic managed to dodge out the way just before the hammer hit the wall. However, the full force of the hit cracked the wall, causing a chain reaction of quakes and shakes. The roof began to collapse in pieces, which smashing everything in its path.

"This place is coming down! Let's get outta here!" yelled Rouge heading towards the only exit.

"Damn!" cursed Robotnik. "Looks like the funs over. Amy to me!"

Obeying, Amy leaped from the ground onto Robotnik's flying pod.

"AMY!" called Sonic desperately.

"Sonic lets go!" Tails screamed flying out the door.

"We haveta go NOW!" Shadow grabbed his arm and raced out of the cave along with their friends.

A board the X Tornado, everyone watched as Eggman's new base crumbled to bits. The ride was silent all the way home. They began treating their wounds from battle. Knuckles and Shadow glanced at the distraught blue hedgehog, who sat motionlessly whilst Rouge cleaned his injuries.

At home

Tails landed the X Tornado as Vanilla, Cream, and Cheese ran out of the mansion.

"Mr. Sonic! Mr. Sonic!" Cream cried waving her arms.

"Chao! Chao!" Cheese squealed flying beside her.

"You all made it back safely," Vanilla smiled, but then gasped at the bandaged bunch. "Are you all alright?! What happened?"

"We're fine," answered Rouge head towards the ground.

"Eggman gave us a little greeting is all," Shadow hissed.

Cream glanced around, noticing one person not among them. "W-Where's Amy?"

Everyone looked away, not daring to look at the young rabbit. Sonic flinched at hearing the said name.

"Oh my, is she inside the X Tornado? Is she hurt badly?! I'll call an am-"

"She's gone," Knuckles interrupted.

"Gone?" Cream asked confused. ""H-How can that be?"

"Eggman changed her with a brainwashing device," Tails uttered. "It-it changed her…for good. She's on Dr. Robotnik's side now."

"No!" tears streamed down Cream's face. "No…A-Amy. NO!"

Cream burst into tears, running straight into her mom's arms. Vanilla embrace her tightly also looking distraught.

"Oh Amy," she whispered.

Without warning, Sonic let out an angered growl and punched the ground. Everyone turned to the blue hero.

"I-I couldn't save her," Sonic murmured gripping the grass and dirt. "I was right there!"

"Sonic-" Rouge confronted.

"I should've been there with her. It's all my fault!" Sonic bellowed eyes brimmed with tears.

"It's not your fault!" shouted Knuckles. "Robotnik took advantage of her feels-"

"And who put them there?!" Sonic countered glaring at the red echidna. "I failed. I failed Amy."

Shadow whisked up to Sonic and gave him a jab in the face.

"Shadow!" shrieked Rouge.

"Mr. Shadow!" cried Cream.

"Get up Sonic," he exclaimed standing over him. "If you wanna save Amy you better cut your wailing. Sitting around here moping isn't gonna make things better. Right now, we have to focus on getting Amy back. We all have to work together, including you. We need you to pull it together understand?"

Tails stood in front of Shadow. "Can't you see he's had enough?!"

"No, he's right bud."

"Huh?"

Sonic slowly stood on his feet, wiping his cheek. "Sitting around isn't helping anyone. I have to stay focused only on Amy. Let's get to work right away."

Sonic turned to his look-a-like and smiled. "Thanks for the punch."

Shadow scoffed, folding his arms. "Don't mention it…ever."

"Wow, Shad. I never knew you were so sentimental," Rouge commented.

Knuckles grinned. "Yeah, who would a thunk words of wisdom and kindness could come outta you."

Shadow shot the two a dirty look. "Mention this ever again and you'll regret it."

Everyone began to bicker and plan, while Sonic looked at the starry sky.

A/N: Cliffie!!!!! Will our heroes come up with a plan to save Amy? Who would have guessed Shadow could be affectionate?

Shadow: I heard that!
