I thought that it was a door for prosperity... Sadly, it wasn't, and thanks for my luck... a door for my doom was opened back home.

19. Chapter18: confession, reunion, goodbye

*10:48 PM, Diamond hotel, Room 43, Rouge's POV*

So, Smith took us to spend the night at the most expensive hotel in the city, booked two five-star rooms, one for me and Sapphire and the twins, and the other one for them.

He paid for the rooms in gold coins! You should have seen the face of the receptionist when Smith gave him the gold coins as if it was a normal currency.

At first the receptionist refused to take it, but after a bit of persuasion from me, he finally gave in and took it as a payment.

Smith gave me the key for our room and he took the key for the other room. We took the elevator to the rooms. Once we reached our rooms we entered it, the twins were very tired and fell asleep quickly. That's good because that spared me to explain-

"Ah, ahhh, yeeeesss, moorree!"

That…

I heard all of it, it started with a drunken laughs while drinking. Then they started to kiss each other, then… this.

"Ahh! Ahh! Deeper! Right there! Oooh, I missed this soo much!"

Me and Sapphire shared the same bed, while the twins slept on the other one. While they were sleeping peacefully, me and Sapphire we're fully awake and listening to our mom being dominated by my superior.

"Yes! Slap my butt more! I'M YOURS!"

It has been almost an hour and they are still going.

"You know Rouge… I'm happy for mom… she didn't have fun since dad was gone, maybe she can finally get over it."

"Yes, you're right."

A brief silence took over for a while.

"Rouge…" Sapphire broke the silence. "I don't think I'm confused… about my feelings for General Ahmed."

"Why you think he has feelings to you? You start to look like Amy when she had that obsession with Sonic."

"The Imam said that Muslims can marry up to 4 women."

"To marry him you need to be a part of his religion. The most complex religion I have ever seen my life. I just saw a brief about it with Amy, they have rules and restrictions for everything."

"Everything?" Sapphire raised her eyebrows.

"Everything," I repeated it in a serious tone. "For example, no alcohol, no sex before marriage, there's a strict dress code for women, women must wear something covering and doesn't show their cleavage. That's only a scratch of the huge amount of stuff that religion holds."

"Wow… that's a lot actually." Sapphire said.

"Yes! Ahh yes! Cumming! CUMMMAHHHHH…"

Mom's Orgasmic sounds surprised us.

"Rouge?" Sapphire called me.

"Yes?"

"I'm… a bit horny… can you leave me for a bit?"

"Ok, I will take a walk," I stood up and put on my dress back. "Let me give you some 'inspiring' material."

I grabbed my phone and showed her some photos.

"W- what?" How?" Sapphire was surprised from what she saw.

A video of General Ahmed hugging Amy from behind, rubbing his crotch on her butt. His hand was roaming on her chest and was kissing Amy's neck. Amy was just there moaning.

"How?" Sapphire asked again.

"I just saw them from and took the opportunity," I said, before giving my sister a kiss on her forehead. "Have fun sweetie."

I went towards the door and got out of the room, once I closed the door behind me, Sapphire's moans have already started.

"*Giggles* If you weren't my sister… I would have done so many things with you."

*11:00 PM, 300 rooms palace, Royal Chamber, Ahmed's POV*

After we finished the 'round', me and Amy took a shower, we couldn't resist and had another quick sex there as well. Finally, we returned to bed, Amy laying her head on my chest.

After the hormones' effect faded away. Sense crept slowly over my head, and filled me with gilt. Due to a simple fact…

Amy doesn't love me, she loves the image she sees. Ahmed the hedgehog, what about the human Ahmed? What would she say about him.

Not even that, my mental condition, which is as shocking as the fact that I'm human and not a Mobian. What would she say about that?

I won't wait until she finds out from someone else, I will tell her, no matter the consequences are.

"Amy, you awake?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"There's… something that I need to tell you, about me."

"What?" She got up off my chest and looked at me.

"Before I tell you," I got up and sat next to her. "I need you to promise me, you won't change your view about me."

"Ahmed you're scaring me, what's going on?"

"Do you promise me?!"

"Of course I do," Amy grabbed my face and gave me quick kiss. "Just tell me what's wrong?"

I got up from the bed and stood in front of her.

"Amy, describe me, my physical features."

"You're a gold-furred hedgehog, with a thin brown stripes on your arms and your back quills, you have yellow eyes, and have a good muscles. Why?"

"Amy… t-… this isn't me… this isn't my true form."

"N- not your real form? So what, you still Ahmed."

"I'm not a Mobian at all."

"What!?"

"Let me show you."

I closed my eyes, focused my internal energy, the golden glow surrounded me.

*Trick*

Smoke filled the room.

"*Cough, Cough* What has happened?" Amy asked nervously.

"You will see now," I replied.

The smoke faded away, leaving no barrier between Amy and my stunning truth.

My human body.

A light brown skin, brown eyes, 185cm tall, big muscles, brown hair and brown eyes. For Amy, I was quite a giant.

"A- Ahmed… y- you're a human?!"

"Yes, I'm a human. All of my people are humans. We came in disguise so that we can get closer with the Mobians."

I didn't want to look at her eyes, I don't know what she thinks now. Does she think I'm bad, cheater, deceiver-

"Ahmed," I was too distracted in my own thoughts to realize that she got out of the bed and stood right in front of me. "Come down here."

I kneeled down to her level, face to face.

At once, she grabbed my face and kissed me.

As much as I wanted to keep on, I need to know for sure.

I parted our lips away, then I started to speak. "Amy, what's the meaning of this?"

"Let me tell you a little story, long time ago, all species of Mobians were Isolated from each other, they only traded with each other. And cross mating was totally forbidden. They thought that if two different species mated the result would be an ugly and mentally disabled hybrid. So they never tried to be romantically involved with each other. But someday, a man and a woman, first was a hedgehog, and the second was a fox. They both fell in love, but of course, the whole world was against their love. Nonetheless, their love was far stronger than all the obstacles their people placed between them. When the Foxes and the Hedgehogs had enough, they forced them to part away from each other. But both managed to escape their people and run away with their love, away from all people. Nine months later, they returned to their people, with a surprise that no one have expected. The female fox gave birth to three children, the first was a male hedgehog, the second was female fox, and the third was a male hybrid, but he wasn't ugly or disabled. He was as beautiful as the other two, he had foxy ears and long tail, but had quills like his father. Those two destroyed people's beliefs, they proved that cross mating is possible. Ever since then, different Mobians started to approach each other. This was the story of Romeo and Juliet, the first couple from different species."

"So let me get this straight, you just not okay with this, you think 'us' are a normal couple?"

Amy just gave me a wide smile on her face. "Love has no boundaries. If you want, I can move with you to Earth, and maybe you can turn me into a human?"

A quick image ran through my mind, an image of the face of a human Amy. White skin, pink hair, emerald green eyes. That almost gave me a nosebleed.

"W- We will think about that part later, what matters now that you know the truth, and not the lie."

"Thanks, for not keeping me in the dark." Amy replied.

I repeated the same steps to return into the Mobian form again. Then we both sat next on the bed.

"Amy, that wasn't the only thing I have to say for you."

"What is it?" Amy asked, giving me all of her attention.

"Remember when you asked me about my weird mood swings?"

"Yes, what about them?"

"These… aren't mood swings…"

"Huh?" Amy blinked at me. "I don't understand."

I got up from the bed and reached for my jacket, I searched its pockets until I found the pocket of Fluoxetine. I showed it to Amy.

"I have been taking this medicine for about 4 years now. It's for my mental condition."

"Y- your mental condition?" Amy started to get worried again.

"War… war has took a heavy toll on me, and the price was something I didn't expect…"

"What was the price?"

"In July 2025, I was diagnosed with a mental disorder, it's named 'multi personality disorder'. An incurable mental illness which makes the patient have two completely different personalities inside the mind. The two switch at random times, none of the characters realize the existence of the other one. I have two characters, the first is the good Ahmed, the friendly and smiling one, only picks up arms for the fight for the noble cases, he never hurt children or women or old people, he's the prime example for a good man… the other one, is the evil Ahmed, he's a sadistic maniac, kills for his own pleasure, the cries of the innocent is music to his ears, pure evil. These two, are here, in my head, fighting for dominance over my body."

"Ooh…" Amy didn't expect that, did she? Never expected a mentally disrupted husband.

Amy got closer, glued herself next to me, and rubbed my shoulder with her head. "I have never expected this, and I may never understand how you actually feel, but I'm here, by your side, and you have my support. You helped me once, it's about time I help you as well."

"Thanks, Amy," I placed my arm around her body. "This means a lot to me."

"But there's something I don't understand, I heard about your condition before, and from what I have heard, the patient cannot control his characters at all, but you know when to switch between the two, you control yourself. How is that possible?"

"Good question Amy, I will answer it. When I found out about my condition, I didn't give up, but I couldn't keep running the country and the army like that, I needed a solution. Do I hired 35 therapist to study my condition and find a cure no matter what the cost. Five months of research, five months of constant failure, as my mental health declined, the therapists achieved no progress, all they could do was to give me stabilizers to reduce the switches, but no real cure. I lost all hope… then out of nowhere, a miracle appeared to save me."

"A miracle?"

"Yes, a miracle. In January 2026, an English doctor named Alfred Anderson published a research regarding multi personalities disorder, a theory to cure the disorder permanently. But due to the fact that his research was too new and different, his method was refused and he was forbid from trying to treat patients with his new theory because it was 'too risky'. But for me, it was my only chance to be normal again. I sent a team of 5 secret agents to kidnap him and his family for me. I gave him all what he needed for his treatment and ordered him to treat me."

"What was his treatment plan?"

"It was a three-stage plan, the first stage was to inject me with a special medicine he invented by himself, it was named 'Antithropine', one shot each week. The medicine's job was to force the mind to realize that there's two characters. So now I know that there's two characters inside my head, but I still have no control over them. The second stage was to train the mind how to discipline the two characters with the help of the Antithropine. The final stage was to gradually cut off the supply of the medicine while still controlling the two characters. If I managed to control the two on my own without any medical assistance, then I'm practically normal… it was a perfect plan… but of course, perfection doesn't exist in real life…"

"What happened?" Amy's worry was clear on her face.

"The whole treatment was a turmoil. At the first stage, his medicine was going to kill me, we learned that we needed a stabilizer, the only medicine worked with the Antithropine was Fluoxetine. The problem with Fluoxetine that taking it for too long has dangerous side effects, it forces me into deep depression and gives me suicidal thoughts sometimes. At the second stage we learned that I can't fully control my characters, yes, I can switch between the two freely at the ratio of 9 successful tries each 10 tries. But I also learned that there are triggers that can control me."

"Triggers?"

"Triggers, if I had the right trigger, I can switch from got from good to bad, or from bad to good. I can fight them off sometimes, but I can't stop it all the time."

"What are the triggers?"

"Anything and everything, there's nothing specific, but I counted several triggers. At the heat of the battle, between the killing and the deaths, I can be triggered from good to bad, if someone begged me hard enough, I can be triggered from bad to good, if someone made me very angry, I can be triggered from good to bad. If someone I care for is in danger I can be triggered from good to bad as well. And people who are close to me can be triggers."

"How so?"

"If they asked. And don't ask to see the second character, this isn't a game. He's dangerous."

"Will… will he harm me?"

"No! No of course not, he loves you, as much as I want. He's just… he's really different and terrifying."

"Oh, I see… what happened at the third stage of the treatment?"

"We canceled it, after all what happened at the previous two stages, I saw that it was no use from continuing the treatment plan,"

"Why? Why you didn't finish the treatment?"

"It was too dangerous at this point, and I was almost normal. I could live quite a normal life… not too normal, but I am content like that."

Silence took over for a few minutes.

"Ahmed?" Amy broke the silence.

"Yes?"

"I… I still want to see the other you, the evil one."

I was stunned by her request, none of the people around me asked for such thing. Not even my parents.

"You sure?"

Amy gave me a nod.

"Ok, your choice."

---

*Amy's POV*

Ahmed closed his eyes, and suddenly his entire body was trembling hard.

"A- Ahmed?" I called him, but I got no answer from him.

I already regret asking this from him.

His body stopped trembling at once suddenly. His eyes still closed, didn't talk, just dead silence.

His eyes flickered open, and stared at me, when I look at his eyes I feel safe, loved, like I'm the best thing ever. But now, it's the eyes of a psychopath ready to murder his victim, eyes that fills you with fear.

"Hello, my little innocent Rose."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I was so nervous that once he spoke, I jumped out the bed and ran into the wall of the room. His voice was deeper than his usual voice tone, like those villains from old movies.

"Why so scared? You wanted to see me in the first place, love." He laughed sarcastically. "But I like it, I like how others fear me… fear, that's what makes me happy, these cries of pain, shock, loss of loved ones, my soul feeds on them... Or the times when I look at people's eyes while my dagger is touching their necks. Eyes full of fear, begging me to spare their little pathetic lives. Oh yeah, that's something else."

Ahmed did warn me, I knew already what's ahead of me… but I never expected him to be that sick, so sick…

I slowly collapsed on the ground and crawled into a ball, I buried my head into my arms and found myself crying.

I'm not sad that I found out about him, I'm sad for him, he's two opposite guys shoved inside this body in front of me. I love him, but I can't live with this, I can't just live like that. I can't keep up with something like that…

While like that, I felt a hand patting on my head softly.

I removed my head from my arms to look at Ahmed. He tried to look normal as much as possible, only looked far more terrifying.

"Amy… I'm still Ahmed, I love you, and I will do anything for you. I will make unimaginable stuff just to ensure your safety…."

His voice was far normal this time, but he was still on the bad character.

His statement actually made me smile through my tears.

"It was you, wasn't it?"

"Me? Me what?"

"It was you who snapped at Sonic and almost shot him, it was also you who was going to snap his neck at the HQ when he tried to talk to me. The evil Ahmed, you are triggered when people you care for are in danger… I have a psychopath and a hero shoved inside one body, both ready to do anything for my safety… I… I don't know if I can keep up with you like that, but… you saved me once, so, I guess it's my turn to look after your crazy two characters." I let out a small laugh.

He sat next to me on the ground.

"I- I'm sorry you are stuck with a freak like me,"

"You are no freak, you're special."

"What's special to be a monster, to lust for blood, to enjoy harming others. What's special about that?"

"You are special to me, that's all what matters."

"So you want to live with me… like that?"

"Yes, why the hell not? To be honest, as long as you aren't talking about your lust for harming others, you aren't much different from each other, it's just you have a deeper voice tone and you look gives me the creeps."

"Thank you," Ahmed grabbed me to sit on his lap. "You're the only one who actually decided to accept me."

"You're welcome, Ahmed," I hugged him tightly, he gently hugged back.

"You know Amy… when I was young, I was disgusted when I see scenes when the hero shows affection to his girlfriend with hugs and kisses, I never understood why showing physical affection like that… until I met you. That's when I knew why… It's so addictive, I can never have enough of you… I want more of you."

Before I could speak, he rushed me with a deep and hot kiss. I couldn't think anymore, just gave in between his arms.

He kept hugging me harder, his kiss getting stronger. I needed air but he wouldn't let go. His grip was too strong.

Finally, he let go of me. I gasped for air quickly.

"Amy…" Ahmed voice changed. He was… sobbing. "You're so beautiful… I-… I don't want to lose you…" He hugged me again tightly. "You are one of the few good things that happened in my life… please don't leave me."

"I'm here, I won't leave you," I gently hugged him back. "Ahmed, what's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, *sniff," He got up from the ground and wiped his few tears. "Let's go to sleep."

"O- ok," I didn't understand what's wrong with him. But I was too tired to ask. I followed him to bed, he covered us with bed sheets and we cuddled.

"Amy, I want you to keep everything I told you secret. Ok?"

"Ok, I will tell no one."

"Very well. Good night, Amy."

"Good night, Ahmed."

When I woke up, I wasn't on the hospital bed… I was laying on clouds above the skies. Whatever was the direction I looked at, there were just clouds… only clouds.

Looks like I'm dead after all…

At least I can be with Maria now. And no power will part us away…

I hardly managed to stand up, my legs still feels really limp.

"Shadow," My ears twitched at the direction where the voice came from, I turned to see… Maria.

"Maria!" I was going to run to her. But instead, I fell on my face.

"Shadow!" Maria ran to help me. She took my hand and helped me to stand up.

Once I was barely standing I hugged Maria real hard. Crying on her clothes.

"Shadow…"

"I won't leave you again! I just want to be with you! L- let me stay with you Maria, please!"

"Shadow…" Maria's hands patted my quills gently.

"I- I'm sorry… *Sniff* I have become a bad person… I didn't do what you promised me to do, p- please forgive me Maria…"

"Shadow… I love you so much, little brother… remember when we were at the ark and we look at Mobius and imagine how Mobius would look like up close?"

"Y- yes, I do."

"We were so young back then… and much happier…"

"We will be happy again! I'm here! And I will never leave you!"

"Shadow… your time hasn't come yet, you still have a life to live-"

"NO! Not again! I won't. Let. You. Go. Again!" I clenched into her dress because I felt her slipping from me.

"Shadow…" Maria grabbed my head and looked at me. "You will return to Mobius, you have to… but this won't be our last meeting… we will be together soon, sooner than you think… okay?"

"WHY CAN'T I STAY WITH YOU!? LET ME STAY! PLEASE!"

A kiss on my forehead from Maria was more than enough to stop the rage inside me. I stopped screaming and calmed down.

"Shadow… find the right side... The side that fights for justice… fight for them and then… we can be together again… okay?"

"B- B- but how?... You are dead…"

"Just do it for me, Shadow… you will understand soon enough… now, it's time to say goodbye…"

I hugged her for one last time. "G- Goodbye, Maria…"

She hugged me back. "Goodbye, Shadow…"

With a huge amount of strong will and absolute bitterness… I finally let go of Maria. She started to walk away.

"Remember Shadow… the right side, choose the right side…"

"I promise you… I will find it… and I will fight for justice…"

With that… Maria disappeared between the clouds. And I found myself forced to close my eyes and I fell unconscious…

I'm… I'm alive! I can feel it… I feel blood bumping into my vines, I feel the beats of my heart, and… sheer cold? Usually the hospital isn't that cold, but rather warm, unless…

I opened my eyes to look around me, just like how I expected it…

I'm in a goddamn Mortuary.

They must have thought that I'm dead, and placed me in some sort of a body bag. The guy who placed me inside the body bag didn't zip it to the end leaving my head exposed, that helped me to open the bag and get out of it.

I busted the door open, that wasn't too hard for me since I'm the ultimate lifeform. I slipped out of the mortuary, I fell on the ground as my muscles were very limp.

I got up supporting myself with the wall, I need to find my belongings.

While resting on the wall, I slowly moved to the small vaults where they keep the belongings of dead people. Once I reached it I, there was a desk next to the vault. I found the records book of the vaults on that desk, I opened it and searched for my name.

Num. 4865, name: Project Shadow, vault number : 36, pass code : 8766.

Once I got the information I needed, I returned the book back to its original place. I searched for the vault, once I found it I inserted the pass code.

*Tic, tic, tic, tic. BEEP!*

The vault was open, I grabbed its handle and busted the vault's door wide open.

My stuff was indeed there.

My gun, my ID card, my portable radio, my phone, my clothes, and most importantly… my Chaos energy battery.

I grabbed the battery first. "Please have some charge, please have some charge," I whispered to myself like a little kid who wanted to win the lottery. But in my situation, this was a matter of life or death…

I checked the charging, its charge was 50%. Great! I can use it for about more five times.

I raised it to the air like how I do with the Chaos Emerald, and cried. "Chaos heal!"

Within seconds, the Chaos energy was all over my body, and healed me completely.

"O' God, if you exist. Thank you!"

With me being fully healed, I can actually do the Chaos control without an emerald, one of the special things that makes me truly the ultimate lifeform.

Quickly and quietly, I grabbed my clothes and wore them 'which were white shirt and blue jeans, they weren't exactly my clothes, but it was far better from running around naked', grabbed the gun, the phone, the radio, and the ID card.

Once I got everything a thought struck me like a lightning. Why did Ahmed spare my life? Like why? What will he earn if he kept his worst enemy alive?

Could he be… the right side? Possible, he didn't really try to harm us 'expect he has poisoned Rouge, but he stopped before anything serious happened and cured her from any poisons', he treated us like guests of honor, he was… really good with even the moment where we were about to kill him, he tried to bring us on his side, he didn't curse and yell at us… he was willing to spare me if I didn't dash at him. Could it be?...

There's only one way to find out…

"Chaos Control!"

*Flash!*

---

*4:30 AM, Ahmed's POV*

I woke up, Amy was still sleeping. I slowly crept out of the bed. I used the toilet and brushed my teeth. When I got out of the bathroom Amy was still sleeping. I kneeled down next to her and started shaking her a bit.

"Hey, Amy, time to wake up."

"Just five more minutes," Amy said in her sleep.

"We don't have five minutes. Come on, don't be lazy."

"*yawns* Ok… I'm up," Amy woke up and started rubbing her eyes. "What is it?"

"It's time to officially register you into the army before I leave."

"Yes, I forgot," she threw the blanket off her and stood up. "I need my uniform, where is it?"

"Uhhh, it's still at the City Hall I think?"

"Can you go and get it for me?"

"Sure, I'm gonna wear my clothes and will get it." I picked up the suit of the ground and wore it. I took out the Chaos Emerald and cried. "Chaos Control!"

*flash*

---

*a moment later, Emerald City's city hall*

I teleported to the middle of the city hall where a Mobian militia soldier was sitting on a chair and sleeping. I quietly moved to the room where Amy and Rouge were staying at. Once I entered it I found Amy's uniform hung up next to the mirror and the weapon belt was next to it. I picked up both and teleported back to Amy.

*flash*

---

*A moment later, the 300 rooms Palace, the Royal Chamber*

Once I returned I found that Amy was roaming in the cupboard.

"What are you doing there, Amy?"

She turned me holding a suit with a lot of medals on it.

"That what King Max used to wear, that thing is a treasure!"

She moved it around and an envelop fell of it.

"What is this?" I picked it up and read the words on it.

"To the only good thing I done in my life, My Sally.

King Maximillian Acorn"

"This letter is addressed to Sally Acorn, Amy." I said. "I'm not even sure that is a letter,"

I Shacked the envelop, the was something metallic inside for sure. Maybe a Flash USB drive.

"What are we going to do with it?" Amy asked.

"I'm going to give it to Princess Sally of course," I said. "Get dressed, we gonna leave together."

As Amy wore the army uniform, I changed the suit into my own uniform.

"Ready Amy?"

"Ready Ahmed."

I pulled out the Chaos Emerald. "Chaos Control!"

*flash*

---

*4:50 PM, Knothole, Freedom Fighters' HQ*

I teleported in front of the HQ's building. The road was quiet, there was no one in the streets, lights are out. Quietness of the night.

"Hello everyone," Blaze said from behind. We turned around to see her and Silver, wearing a long purple coat above her normal clothing and a purple big hat with a purple small gem on it. Silver wore a formal black suit with a black coat on the top of it.

"Princess Blaze, Mr. Silver," I bowed down my head to them. "What brings you here?"

"We should ask the same thing for you," Silver said.

"As for me, I found something that will surely interests Princess Sally. What about you?"

"Blaze is traveling back to her home dimension, I'm going to accompany her," Silver said.

"I heard the radio today, there were reports of fights in Emerald City, but no clear info. How did it go?" Blaze asked.

"I have eliminated an superior army 20 times bigger than my force." I was with a smirk.

Both were dumbfounded.

"H- How?" Blaze asked. Still over shocked with the news

"I did it more times than I can remember, nothing special," I said. "I don't know who is the ruler, but give him my regards, and I will try and meet him soon."

"I will surely send your regards to my Father, although the Emperor doesn't like strangers, it took me ages to convince him to let me become an ambassador here in Mobius on behalf of the Sol Empire."

"Thank you, Princess."

"So how's things going between you two?" Silver asked.

"You want to know?" I asked him, he nodded. "I married Amy yesterday."

Their jaws hung in the air like an old sign.

"It… it was only five days… you knew each other for only five days! How!? Why?!" Blaze didn't believe us apparently.

"There's no how or why in love."

Then she turned her attention to Silver. "We are together for over a year and you didn't even propose!" She clenched her fists and aimed for Silver's head.

He covered his head with both of his arms "I will! I will! I promise! Just Chill out!"

She calmed down after that. "Sorry Silver, I shouldn't have lost control for such trivial reason."

"N- no, it's okay," Silver said. "It's not like you lose control 100 times a day."

"What did you say?"

"I said, shouldn't we leave now?" Silver collected the situation.

"Oh, right," Blaze turned her attention to us. "We need to leave now, need anything else?"

"No, Princess Blaze, have a safe trip."

"Bye, General."

*Flash*

A purple aura swallowed them and they disappeared.

"Ok, time to see Princess Sally." I said to Amy.

We both headed into the entrance, but were stopped by the guards.

"What do you want?" The guard said harshly.

"I would like to meet Princess Sally Acorn, if that was possible."

"I'll take your weapons before you enter." He said.

"Sure," I gave him the rifle and the pistol, Amy did the same.

The guards backed down and cleared the way.

"Don't take wrong turns,"

"Sure, sir."

We entered the place and headed directly to the office, I was going to knock the door but some unusual sounds stopped me.

"Ah, yes! Harder! Just like that!"

"What is that?" Amy whispered.

"Who's my whore princess?"

"Ahh! I'm! I'm your whore princess! AHH! FASTER! FASTER! I'M ALMOST THERE!"

It was clear, Sonic and Sally were at it.

I took Amy's hand and backed away from the door until we rested our backs on the wall at the opposite side of the door.

"Let's pretend that they aren't doing anything until they are over," I whispered to Amy, Amy nodded in understatement.

"AHH! I… I just came, Sonic."

"I'm almost there too. Where do you want my milk, Sally?"

"I want it deep into my rear hole! I want to feel it!"

"As you wish, here, it… COMES!"

"Ahhhhhh!..."

Their loud moaning and bitching was finally over.

"Looks like Sally and Sonic are into anal," Amy whispered nervously. "You won't ask for anal someday, will you?"

"No worries, I think it's disgusting and I don't want to try it. And it's forbidden in Islam anyway." I whispered back.

"Oh, that's a relief… just curious, you have any idea why?"

"I didn't think about it much, bug I think because that the chances to get STDs that way is much higher," I said. "Now, let's knock on them."

I approached the door and knocked.

"W- who is it?" Sally asked nervously.

"I'm General Ahmed, can I come in?"

"J- just one minute please."

I could hear the sound of them putting on their clothes.

"Come in!"

I opened the door and Amy followed me.

Sally was sitting on a chair at her desk and Sonic was standing next to her.

"General Ahmed!" Sally gave me a welcoming smile, but I was smart enough to know that was fake. She doesn't like me, I can see it deep through her eyes. "Why do we own the pleasure of your visit?"

"Your majesty," I bowed a little down to her, Japanese style. "First, I would like to thank you again for selling me the 300 Rooms Palace. It was perfect."

"You didn't come here for thanking me for giving you a scarp house, didn't you?" Sally said, keeping her fake smile on her face.

"No, of course not," I took out an envelop. "I found this envelop hidden inside your father's clothes. It's for you." I showed her the envelop.

Sally leaned closer to read what's written on the envelop.

"That's actually from my father!" Sally grabbed it off my hands and opened it. She took out an USB flash drive.

"A flash drive?" Sally looked at it, examining it carefully. Then quickly grabbed a laptop from inside the desk and turned it on, then she inserted the flash drive into it. We all stood behind it to see what are the contents.

Contents:

My_Message_to_ Sally, created 04/05/2021.

The video was the only thing on the drive.

"The date was one day before his disappearance with my mom," Sally raised her eyebrows. "What could that mean?"

"Only one way to find out." Sonic said. "Play it," Sally nodded and clicked on the video.

*video plays*

The video started with King Maximillian sitting on an expensive chair, probably that's the throne.

The king was in a red robe, under it was a white shirt with a red bow tie. He was drinking a red liquid, probably wine, he was drinking it in a glass. Once the glace was empty he placed it on the table next to him.

Finally, he leaned in and looked into the camera's lenses.

"H- Hi, Sally… how are you?" He spoke nervously. "I… I really hope that you are alive and watching this, and it's not just a scavenger was roaming in the leftovers of the Palace."

He rubbed his eyes, he seems really tired.

"Today… is the 4th of May of the year 2021… there's a plot going on for some time… and I have found out too late… they are going to overthrow me and your mom and kill all of the Acorn dynasty, you are far away in Knothole so you are safe, they won't bother with a kid… lucky me… but to be honest, I don't blame them… you might remember me, you were 15 then… you always looked up to me, I was a high example to you… you saw me as a sign of justice and equality… all of this… isn't true…"

The King started to tear up, he wiped his tears and continued.

"I… I can't tell you now, not in this video… in my palace in Metropolis, there's another flash drive… you will find the truth about me in it… you will find the flash drive at the same place you found this one before… I heard that they won't kill me, but they will banish me into another dimension, but I don't know which one… so I might be alive at the point you are seeing this… come and look for me, but you have to find the other flash drive first, that's an order… I almost forgot… General Abraham Towers and G.U.N are the ones who did this, don't trust them. Not at all… avenge me, Sally… come here Alicia,"

From behind the camera, Queen Alicia appeared and stood next to him. Then spoke

"We love you Sally, you are the best thing that ever happened in our life… we hope… we hope that you do better than what we were on before… Bye Sally, May lord Chao be always on your side."

*Video ends*

I was no blind, Sally was about to burst in tears. I needed to leave and give her some private time.

"We… we are going to leave now," Me and Amy headed for the door and were about to leave.

"W- wait…" Sally called me, me and Amy stopped and turned to face her, she was hardly keeping herself from crying. But she stood up and kept a stone face.

"You're… you're probably the only person I can trust right now, you being in war with G.U.N and such, as the last living member of the Acorn dynasty, I will grant you half of South Island and the half of Central Island, if you brought me Abraham Towers to kill him myself."

"Half of South Island and half of Central Island?!" I took a minute processing her offer in my head. "You're literally offering me half of your empire!"

"Correction: What used to be my empire," Sally corrected me. "It's all gone now, only some states under my control, with a few noble lords who managed to survive."

Sally dropped herself on the chair.

"Look around me, what do you see? I want your honest opinion."

The honest opinion is a harsh reality, I don't know if she wants to hear it. But I will say it anyway.

"… I see… a failed state… that's what I see. I saved it from a deadly fate 5 days ago, I think I only bought it a couple of months before that happens again. I see dysfunctional government, non-existing services, it's so rare that I couldn't find hospital to treat Amy's wounds, and when I sat up a medical tent on day one, people were rushing to get treatment. I see, a weak army, a leader, who may have strong character, but lacks the power and support to do anything. Even if you managed to defeat Robotnik some day you will never retrieve the old glory of your ancestors… that's what I see, Princess Sally."

Sally smiled, and began to laugh, to laugh hysterically.

"Finally… someone who sees the reality, not his imagination… you know, you're the first one to call me 'Princess' since the Acorn Kingdom collapsed, you reminded me of the good old days… I will never be able to bring these old days back…"

Sally then stood up, and with slow steps, she walked towards me. Until she stopped right in front of me.

"I want you to be my ally, help me avenge my father, help me take down Robotnik, and all these lands, will. Be. Yours. In your name, not your country. Can you help me then?"

Her offer was tempting… but I'm not in the best fit to do such thing, and if I wanted to do such thing, that means… humans will eventually find out, I can't hide big operation like that… and I'm not sure letting the world know about them will be the best idea.

"Princess Sally… I rule a vast empire, the United Federal Islamic States, very big… but right now, it's facing probably its last days… rebellions, unrest, a war against the entire world… I can't say if I can actually help you. But, give me a month then you will have an answer… until then, the weapons' shipments and the gold will be given to you as scheduled. Hold the line until then."

As I finished my words, I took couple of steps back. And raised my fists in the air.

"Long live Queen Sally! True ruler of Mobius!"

"W- what are you doing?"

"Praising the Queen, what else I would do?"

"B- but-"

"Here's an advise from me: reform the Acorn Kingdom, it will restore people's faith in you and in your cause. And form a cabinet, you need a government to help you, you can't do everything by yourself."

"O- Ok General Ahmed," Sally finally took hold of herself. "I will take your advise in account."

"Ok, I'm done here… I will leave now."

As me and Amy were about to leave, Sally called us again.

"Wait,"

"Yes?" I turned to her again.

Sally returned to her desk, began typing on the laptop, then the printer started printing. Once the paper was out Sally grabbed it and signed it, then opened a drawer and pulled out a sealed, and stamped the paper with it.

"Here," Sally handed me the paper. "Now our deal is official."

"Thanks," I took the paper from her. "If you excuse me then."

Me and Amy got out of the office and closed the door behind us.

We quietly moved back to the front door and retrieved our guns. Then we walked away from the HQ building.

"Well, my relation with Sally changed from untrusted partner to the only trustworthy person for her. Could this get any weirder?" I said to Amy while laughing.

"Oh, it can get way weirder..."

---

*Shadow's POV*

Both of them turned at me and aimed their guns at me.

I knew that would happen anyway.

"Why using guns, General. I'm only here to talk," I said as I raised my arms in the air.

Surprisingly, Ahmed lowered his rifle while Amy kept it pointed at me.

"My ears are wide open, what do you want?"

"Give me a reason to accept your offer." I said it, blunt and clear.

"So I guess you aren't on a mission to kill me, the drug I gave to you makes it look like you're dead while you aren't. They think you are a goner. But returning to our main topic, you want a reason? Ok, let me ask you something. Do you love Rouge, Shadow?"

I didn't answer his question, just kept staring at him in the eyes.

"Ok, you love her, it's clear in your eyes, plus Rouge already told me about your relationship. Now, I didn't bring Rouge here to work under my wing and brought her family because of my goody good heart… there's another reason actually, it's the fact that this's all business. I brought her family here, she views me as a hero who saved her beloved ones from the tyranny of G.U.N, so I automatically have her to do anything I want, she's a great secret agent, you know. So if the reason is simple, if you want to be with her and become one and all that lovely stuff. You need to join me, Shadow."

He only sees her… ONLY BUSINESS! Sick bastard!

"So it's all business to you? Not doing what's right?!"

"Who said it's only business, it's business and doing what's right, mixed together. Something that I learned over time, business and the right thing can work together, just not as profitable as focusing on business only. You need to know something, Shadow. I could have made her work for me without getting myself into such trouble getting her family and dodging G.U.N at Station Square."

"And what could that thing be?"

"Brainwash, Shadow, brainwash."

"B- brainwash? Huh, that's only in the movies, no one managed to develop such thing."

"I did, I made my own Technique. Trust me when I say that I could have made Rouge a mindless slave of mine in a matter of 21 days, just a body that does what she is told do by her master. But I didn't, you know why? Because it was wrong, that's the moral reason, and for business, she would have been far more efficient if we brought her family here, and Amy begged me to do so."

Ahmed took a couple of steps closer to me. "See Shadow, it's not just business… So, I'm leaving today to my home dimension, so last chance, are you with me or not?"

It's hard to choose… I can't tell if he is the right side or not… he's complicated and weird… God, why this is so hard?

"I will let you see Rouge, how about that?"

That took me off Guard. "W- what?"

"See her, I'm sure she will clear the damn storm running into your head about if I'm the good guy or not. So, you're in or not?"

Can I trust this guy?... Fuck it, I got nothing to lose, and I got my freedom to earn.

"I'm in, let me see her."

"Good choice," He shoved his hand into his pocket and took out handcuffs. "Better safe than sorry."

"Why do you have handcuffs?"

"To restrain captured enemies and civilians who were unlucky enough to be in a warzone," He explained. "Now, enough talking."

He approached me, Amy still aiming for my head. He first frisked me, he found the pistol and took it with him.

"I think I will keep it with me, as a souvenir,"

After that, he cuffed my hands, nice and tight.

"Now, it's time,"

He took out a Chaos Emerald and raised it in the air.

"Chaos Control!"

*Flash*

---

*5:20 AM, eastern checkpoint to enter Emerald City, Ahmed's POV.*

I teleported about 100 meters away of the checkpoint, I chose to teleport here because it has a lot of soldiers and I can pick few troops with me.

Sun was just about to rise in the sky, ready to unleash its light on the lands.

As much I want to stand and watch, I have a living weapon in custody, I need to focus on him now.

"Move," I gave him a small push forward.

"No need to be so pushy," He said in his usual cold voice tone as he started to move.

As we moved closer to the checkpoint, there was a bus and next to it there were its passengers getting identity checks by the soldiers.

A male and a female were grabbed from the crowd. The first was an orange hedgehog wearing white casual suit, the second was a purple fox wearing t-shirt and blue jeans.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?!" The hedgehog tired to break free from the grip of the soldiers.

"Mr. Matt Regan," The lieutenant started talking. "You're wanted for 10 rape crimes. So you are under arrest. Maybe the leadership has changed, but that doesn't mean all of your crimes are canceled."

The officer forced him to the ground and started to cuff him.

"This is the part where I say your rights, but this is the military police, so we don't really give a dime for your rights."

He grabbed him and forced him to stand up again, then other soldiers took him away.

"Hey, what did I do?! He's a criminal but I'm not!" The purple fox protested as soldiers grabbed her.

"You're a G.U.N citizen," The lieutenant said. "Honestly, I don't know how you thought that coming to Emerald City was a good idea?"

"My boyfriend is here in the city! I just came here to see him, I swear that's all! Let me in!"

"The only place that I will let you inside is the zone where we keep war prisoners!"

The men took her away as she was crying and begging them to stop.

After the show was over, I walked to the lieutenant. Once he saw me he did the military salute and cried. "General Ahmed is here!"

Everyone turned to face me and saluted. I saluted back. "At ease,"

Everyone returned to their duties.

"Identity yourself, officer." I ordered him.

"Lieutenant Okimoto Unkei, at your service sir!"

"How many men in this checkpoint?"

"About 700 man here sir."

"I want 50 men to come with me now,"

"Right away!" He then turned to his men. "I want 50 men to bring themselves here!"

In a few seconds, 50 men stood in five lines formation, each line has 10 men.

"You now with General Ahmed, you do as he say until he dismiss you, and when he does, I want you to return to this checkpoint. Understand?!"

"Sir yes Sir!"

The lieutenant turned back to face me. "May I ask a question sir?"

"You may,"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Haven't you notice the prisoner I hold?"

"I was really focusing on you sir, who's the guy?"

I grabbed Shadow's shoulder and made him stand next to me. All the soldiers almost jumped off their skins.

"Sh- Shadow?!" One of the soldiers said. "That's the guy who tried to kill you today!"

"Yes, that's Shadow. That guy alone has the strength of an army, if any of you lowered his guard, just for a little moment... He will be dead in a blink of an eye."

I was talking about Shadow like if he was an African tribesman from the 1800's. That made me feel like I am Racist, so I stopped talking.

"Enough talking men, 10 men on the front of us and 40 on our back!"

Quickly and professionally, they did as I asked.

"Soldiers! Forward, March!"

The little foot escort I just made started moving, we walked through the big checkpoint which was around 250 meters in width. Men and women trying to get in, looking worried, maybe worried about their beloved ones who live here.

Once I crossed it, I looked at a couple of female rabbits that I feel like that I know them.

"Hey Ahmed, those two are Vanilla and Cream!" Amy exclaimed happily.

But they looked different when they aren't in a nurse uniform.

The mother, Mrs. Vanilla, wore a big and wide lavender dress, with a crimson vest on top of it, crimson shoes, orange ascot, and finally, white gloves with a golden buckle.

The daughter, Cream, wore a simpler, much teenage-like clothes, an orange sleeveless dress that reached right above her knees. With the Identical white gloves with that golden buckle.

The duo were talking to one of the soldiers, as if they were having trouble.

As I got closer to them I signaled to the men to stop, then I heard the conversation.

"We need to leave now, sir," Vanilla said. "We already had our identity checks, why do you keep us from leaving the checkpoint?"

"I can't let you, no one will leave before 6 AM and that's final!" He angrily cried at them.

I finally declared my presence. "Soldier!"

The corporal turned to face me and gave the military salute. "Sir! Corporal Hamada Hussein at your service!"

"At ease," I said.

"Look what we got here, the good man who got me out of there, General Ahmed himself,"

Wow, for the lady that I just stunned her with electricity, she's way too calm.

"Mrs. Vanilla, Cream! Good morning," Amy waved at them.

Looks like they didn't recognize her.

"Do I know you?" Vanilla asked, confused by her action.

"Mom, that's Amy!" Cream said.

"Oh, forgive me. I didn't recognize you while…" Mrs. Vanilla eyed her uniform. "While you are dressed like that. What happened to you lately?"

"Oh, it's a long story, let's leave it for another occasion." Amy said.

"Now, enough of that," I said. "What's going on?"

"The lady and her daughter wants to leave the checkpoint, and no civilian can leave it before the curfew is lifted at 6 AM, which is 40 minutes from now." The soldier explained.

"I see…" I scratched my chin, thinking. "Mrs. Vanilla, where do you live?"

"Me? I own a fancy apartment in midtown, few blocks away from Diamond hotel."

"Diamond hotel you say? Hmm… I'm going to that hotel, maybe you can go with my little foot escort. Consider it as an apology for… what happened yesterday, there was so many things happening at the same time and I had no time to convince you leaving with Cream or convincing Cream to leave without you. It had to be done,"

"No, no, it's okay. We all were nervous, stuff like that happens,"

"Thanks for understanding, Mrs. Vanilla."

"You're welcome-" She suddenly stopped talking and looked behind me. "Isn't that Shadow?"

"Yes, that's him. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, let me see him."

Without waiting for my reply, Vanilla walked past me and headed for Shadow, none of the soldiers tried to stop her. She really looks like a mother who seeks her son, well, she's already a mother.

"Shadow, are you alright?!" Vanilla asked while she wiped some dirt off his face with a handkerchief.

"I- I'm fine, Mrs. Vanilla, this is not necessary, really,"

"What happened to you? Why are you cuffed?"

"I… I turned myself in,"

"Did they hurt you?"

"No, please stop Mrs. Vanilla, this is feeling awkward," He turned his face away from her, blushing a bit.

"Mrs. Vanilla. Please step away from him, Now!" I yelled at her.

"Alright, no need to get so angry, young man," Vanilla stepped away from Shadow. "What did Shadow do?"

"Tried to kill me, twice," I said. "Now, Mrs. Vanilla, shall we move?"

"Ok General,"

I look at the men. "Soldiers! Forward, March!"

With that, we started to move again. Amy and Mrs. Vanilla on my right, and Cream.

I put my hand in my pocket and brought a chocolate bar, I ripped it open and started eating it.

I noticed that Cream was looking at me while I was eating. I figured she might want some.

I took out another bar and offered it to her. "Here you go, kid."

"N- no, thanks, I don't want to," Cream declined politely.

"Chao cho chi Chao," Muffled voice could be heard from Cream's backpack.

"What was that?" I asked, hands on my gun.

"Oh, that's just my pet, Cheese. Could you please open the backpack so that he can get out?"

"Sure," I grabbed the zipper, quite curious to see what would her pet look like.

Once I opened it, I found a sky-blue… thing.

I have no idea what that is, just two balls which were the head and the other was the body, it had hands and legs which ends with a ball-like shape, it had wings on its back, and a heart-shape on its head, wearing only a read bow tie.

The creature flew out of the backpack and almost hitting my face, then he landed on Cream's head.

"Chao Chao!" The creature waved his hand to me, I waved back at him.

I gotta admit, this is cute.

"Hello there, you cute little blue guy. What's your name?"

"Cheese!" The blue creature said.

"So Cheese, do you like Chocolate?"

"Chao chao!" He nodded.

"Ok, here you go." I gave him the chocolate bar and he ate it fast.

"Look at him guys!" I called at the soldiers, everyone started giving "Aoww" and "So cute" at him.

"Wow, Cheese doesn't really like strangers that fast." Cream said.

"Chao Chao cho chi chao." The blue guy started saying weird words.

Cream laughed at him, as if she understands what he says.

"Do you understand what he says?" I asked.

"Yes, he said that he likes you because you gave him chocolate." Cream explained.

"So, what kind of creature Cheese is?" I asked.

"He's a Chao, that's the name of his kind. You can find them next to the lakes, they form something we can call 'Chao garden'. These guys are very intelligent and can understand our language, even though that they can't talk it."

"So how do you understand what he says?"

"I 'just' understand what he says, he's with me since I was 4 years old, we created mutual understanding over time."

"Okay, I get it," I said, then I decided to change the subject. "How is it between you and Miles?"

"Tails? We are really good friend since the very first beginning of our childhood, my parents and his parents were good friends. We would gather at the park in Metropolis and we would play together to our hearts content."

"Where are his parents now? I didn't see them until now? And where's your father?"

Again… another open wound that I stumbled upon without realizing it.

"Tails lost his parents and I lost my father at the same day, the day Metropolis fell…" Cream's tears started to fall.

"I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Oh, you have nothing to apologize for," She wiped the tears off her face. "I still remember it, like if it was yesterday… The Robots have overwhelmed the City's garrison, everyone was at panic… we were running, trying to get out of the city… we were running on the main road that leads outside the city, we were about to leave… robots blocked our way, they were only three, the kind specialized in capturing Mobians for Robotization… they… *Sniff* they took Tails' Parents and my father. No one can imagine how me and Tails were feeling… we won't see them again, we screamed out of our lungs… we were about to go after them. But thanks to my mom, she managed to grabbed both us and run away… ever since, Tails has isolated himself, he refused to talk to anyone or do anything. Until he met Sonic… he have met him and some reason, Tails was immediately attached to him, he was like the big brother Tails never got, Sonic helped him to realize his genius and love of mechanical engineering, Sonic gave him the workshop in Knothole which he works at… Sonic even became Tails' Guardian when Sonic turned 18 so that he can be with him all the time…"

Cream took a deep breath and let it out.

"So now Mr. Ahmed, you know our story…"

"… someday… you will see your father again… not today, not tomorrow… but you will… I know that… I will make that happen…"

"Thanks, General Ahmed. But I think that's not possible."

"It is possible, you will see your father again, trust me…"

We stayed silent until we reached the apartment building that Mrs. Vanilla lives at.

"Thank you sir for helping us, I don't know how can I ever repay you."

"You don't need to, we are here to serve. Peace Mrs. Vanilla."

"Bye, General Ahmed,"

And I turned to Cream and her pet, Cheese. "See you later."

"Chao chao." He waved goodbye to us.

After they entered the building, we continued to our destination, the Diamond hotel…

---

*5:48 AM, Diamond hotel, hotel's restaurant, Rouge's POV*

I was on the counter of the bar, eating breakfast, just egg omelet and a glass of milk. It was only me and the bartender at the place as I ate my food.

"This war is going to be our doom," the bartender guy mattered under his teeth.

"You think so? Why is that?" I asked.

"Everything that this city consumes comes from G.U.N. So unless that Ahmed guy has enough supply for us or can somehow makes this place start producing its own food, we going to starve in a matter of weeks."

"Oh, don't worry about that. General Ahmed will make a plan, he always makes a plan for everything."

"Let's just hope this isn't cheap Propaganda."

The bartender returned to clean his glasses. That's when Smith entered the restaurant, he took a seat next to me on the counter. "Good morning Rouge,"

"Good morning, Colonel Smith,"

"Rouge, as long I'm not on duty, John would do just fine."

I shrugged. "Whatever you say,"

The bartender came to him. "Good morning sir, what can I get to you?"

"I want a peanut butter and jam sandwich," Smith said.

"Right away," And the bartender left to get him his order. In a minute the bartender returned with his order and left us. Smith started eating his sandwich.

It was only the sound of us chewing our food for a minute, until Smith decided to start the talk

"So…" Smith began. "… regarding our relationship since I'm with your mom, I just want to point out two things. First, I don't things to be weird between me and you and your sister and the younger twins, I won't take your father's place or something like that, I'm not really good at that anyway. So view me as a new member of your family. Second thing, Since we will see each other a lot at duty, I need to tell you that you can't expect to help you at anything at all, or making things easier for you at anything. General Ahmed views that as a type of corruption and we both would be punished if that happened."

"As for the first one, you're right, don't expect us to call you 'Dad' at all, maybe if you played your cards right with the boys they would call you so. As for the second one, I don't like to ask for help from you or anyone. And certainly I don't want to anger the General, I don't want his knife on my neck again." I put my hand on the area of the cut. Feeling it a bit.

"He did this to you?"

"Yes, he made a small cut on my neck and sucked some blood off me. He's kinda crazy sometimes,"

"Well, can't argue with that."

Suddenly, the doors of the restaurant were busted open, the receptionist came out of it, running and terrified.

"Miss Rouge, there's an army at the reception, and General Ahmed is with them. They are asking for you!"

Smith gave me the 'what the hell did you do' kind of look.

"Don't look at me like that, let's see what he wants." I said.

We followed the receptionist to the reception where about 50 man was waiting for us, General Ahmed standing in front of them.

We both gave him the military salute. "Sir!"

"Colonel Smith, Elite agent Rouge, at ease." He ordered. He lowered our hands as he said. "We all are busy so I will get straight to the point," he looked at his men. "Get him here."

The men in the front cleared the way, two men grabbed a certain black hedgehog with red stripes on his back quills and arms…

"Shadow!" I ran to him and hugged him, I realized that he was cuffed. I cupped his head in my hand. "Are you alright!? How did they get you?!"

"I came here by myself, Rouge. I came here for you."

"F- for me?"

"Rouge, I will ask a simple question. And I need a clear answer from you, ok?"

"O- Ok,"

"If I decided to be here, to join them, with you... Will it be worth it?"

"I-… I… I don't know, Shadow, I don't know… but we will make it worth, you and me, Shadow, we can be together, we can be free at last. Wasn't that what we always wanted Shadow?"

"I… I have seen Maria, in my sleep, she asked me to fight for justice… will I fight for justice here?"

"… I don't know, Shadow… he sounds like a good guy, and Amy trusts him with her life… but there've never been a good side nowadays… just join them dammit, he will kill you if you didn't."

"It's settled then…" Me and Shadow parted away, then he faced Ahmed. "I, Project Shadow, hereby, I ask you to join your ranks. As one of you."

"Shadow, I'm General Ahmed Atrees, and I accept your request." General walked to him and removed the handcuffs. "Welcome, as one of us."

"T- that's it?" Shadow couldn't hide his surprised face gesture.

"Well, we still need to get you a uniform and dog-tag and a small enlisting ceremony. But other than that, you're good to go. Come on guys, say hello to the enemy of yesterday and the friend of today and tomorrow."

The soldiers' face expression suddenly changed from the angry to being smiling. "Hello, comrade Shadow."

"Comrade! Are you serious?! I was ready to kill you 5 minutes ago."

"Well, if we kept the stone face then we'll only make you want to kill us more. And just because you're a lab creation that doesn't mean that you are different," One of the soldiers said, then they all gathered around him and gave him shake hands and hugs. Even the super emo Shadow couldn't resist the wholesome environment and smiled a bit.

"Now listen up, Mr. Shadow, we all are brothers in arms here. And you will be a one of us whether you liked it or not, you hear me?! Emos aren't allowed to be here. You understand me Mr. Ultimate lifeform?"

"Ok, I will give it a try, but don't expect too much from me." Shadow said.

Another one asked. "So, you're the ultimate lifeform, what can you do better than the normal us?"

"Well, I'm quite a bullet proof, that's for start. If you want to hurt me then you need to get to me, close and personal, and give me some good knife stabs in the chest, like how General Ahmed did. I can run at the speed of sound with the help of my rocket shoes, I can stand for an army on my own, and my creator told me that I'm immortal, as long as no one gave me a fetal hit, I'm good. And that's all, I guess."

"That's… if that's real, then it's like these super soldier projects the Americans tried to do in the cold war, right General?"

"Damn right you are," General Ahmed said, then he put his hand on Shadow's shoulder. "I think you will be much useful in the army department rather then the secret services, so I will ask you something. Do you want to be an officer or a soldier?"

Shadow paused for a minute, then stared talking. "I had enough taking orders to be honest, I will take the officer position."

"Ok, you will get a one month course and after that you will be deployed with me, at Division Zero. The elite of the elite, the Division that I personally lead."

"That's fine with me, as long as I will kick some G.U.N asses."

"And I want your total discipline that you usually show around."

"Ok. Anything else sir?" Shadow asked.

"You got yourselves one hour, catch up with each other. Then meet us at the city hall. See you,"

With these final words, General Ahmed and all the troops left us, only me, Shadow, Colonel Smith were at the reception.

"Ok, you two love birds, have fun. I'm going to return to my room and say goodbye to Sofia and leave as well, bye." Smith left us as well and headed for the elevator.

We were all alone at the corridor, Shadow grabbed me and pinned me on the wall, and started kissing me hard and forcing his tongue inside my mouth, tasting each inch of my month's walls. Both of his hands squeezing my butt cheeks. Damn you Shadow, you make me melt in your arms all the time.

He parted away, thin lines of Saliva between our mouths.

"Rouge… God knows how much I missed you."

"I missed you two, Shady,"

"Thank you… for convincing Ahmed to spare my life. Without you, I'd have been dead by now."

"You're so welcome…"

"Is your room free?"

"No, my sister and the twins are still sleeping. Why you ask?"

"Well, I think I will fuck you at the storage room then."

"What?! Wai-" Before I could protest, he kissed me again, making me forget about protesting.

"So," Shadow pulled away from the kiss. "What were you saying?"

"… Damn you Shadow, you hornyhog… okay, have it your way, just finish quickly this time."

"I can't guarantee that part, but I can guarantee a big load inside you."

With that, Shadow held me bridal style and took me inside the nearest storage room.

"I love you Rouge."

"I love you too, Shadow… my sexy black hedgehog…"

*7:00 AM, Emerald City, the City hall, the garden, Ahmed's POV*

Right now, 10,000 soldier stand here, all are Japanese, they are here to witness the official enlisting of Shadow and Amy. I never felt so excited before, I don't know why, but I don't really care. That's the best thing happened in these series of horrible, right after the wedding.

The entire force was standing ahead of me, in front of them, were Amy and Shadow, wearing formal non-combat officer uniform. I was standing on the other side and behind me the rest of the army officers, 5 Generals, 260 Colonels, 460 Captains, 1000 lieutenants.

"In the name of God, the entirely Merciful, the especially Merciful. Today, we witness two new members of the M.L.A! The liberator of all people!"

"The liberator of all people! The liberator of all people! The liberator of all people!" The soldiers cried in unison.

"The first member is my new wife, Mrs. Amal Ahmed, name at birth is Amelia Rosan. She showed unmatched bravery at tank warfare, despite lacking the experience and training needed to command a tank, she managed to destroy 11 enemy tanks yesterday and killed around 300 troops with her tank only!"

Everyone clapped for her.

"Mrs. Amal!"

"Yes sir!"

"Please come here!"

"Right away!" Amy walked fast and stood right in front of me, keeping a couple of feet of distance between us.

"Please raise your right hand and say the oath of the M.L.A out loud."

Amy raised her right hand and started to say the oath. "I, Amal Ahmed, swear by God to serve the M.L.A and follow its leader, General Ahmed Atrees, and I won't let him down, and I won't escape the battlefield, and I will always follow the army's orders and respect its laws. And that's a commitment I keep to death."

"Amal Ahmed, I assign you to one-month-course at tank warfare, and promote you to the rank of a first lieutenant."

One soldier came holding a fancy wooden box, he opened it to reveal 4 golden starts, two to be placed on each shoulder. Next to it were two medals. The first was a gold star medal, the second medal was an image of a heavy tank in a golden circular frame.

I carefully placed each star of the 4, two at each shoulder.

"Also, for your bravery you and all the other soldiers who participated in the battle of Emerald City, I give you, the medal of honor, first class," I took the medal and hanged it on her chest. "And for your extraordinary skills at tank warfare that I have never seen something like before, I give you the tank master's medal, first class." I hanged the second medal next to the first one.

"Lieutenant Amal, you're dismissed!"

"Sir!" Amy did the military salute one last time and returned to her spot next to Shadow.

"Secondly and lastly, Shadow. Shadow is an ex G.U.N agent, but for personal reasons, he switched sides and decided to join our forces. Mr. Shadow!"

"Yes sir!"

"Please come here!"

"Right away!" Shadow came and stood at the same spot Amy stood at before.

"Please raise your right hand and say the oath."

Shadow raised his right hand and started to say the oath. "I, Shadow the hedgehog, swear by God to serve the M.L.A and follow its leader, General Ahmed Atrees, and I won't let him down, and I won't escape the battlefield, and I will always follow the army's orders and respect its laws. And that's a commitment I keep to death."

"Shadow, I assign you to one-month-course of officer's training and promote you to the rank of a second lieutenant."

The same soldier returned again with another box, he opened it to reveal two golden stars. I took each one and placed it on each shoulder.

"Lieutenant Shadow, you're dismissed!"

"Sir!" Shadow did the military salute and returned to his earlier position.

"My men, soldiers and officers of the M.L.A, our two new members aren't normal or usual. They are Mobian natives, so we must treat them well and with respect. So they go to their families, friends, and tell them how good we are. Like that, people will trust us and see that we are here for peace and prosperity, just like we did in Palestine, when we drove away the Jews from it and freed it for its people. And in Syria, when we ended the civil war and reunified the country. And in Burma, when we saved the Muslims from the endless massacre that's been going for over a century. At India, where the Muslims were being oppressed there and we saved them. At East Turkestan, when the Chinese government were forcing the Uighur Muslims into their so called 'rehabilitation camps' which was only a prison made to brainwash the Muslims and make them leave Islam. We saved all of these people. Now, it's time for these people like how we helped ours, there's a maniac named Ivo Robotnik, he's been terrorizing the realm of Mobius for over 20 years, he captured over 4 billion Mobian and turned them into robots. And he thinks he can capture the rest. Now, you tell me. Will we stop him?"

"Of course we will!" All men cried at once.

"I can't hear you!"

"OF COURSE WE WILL!"

"Just like that, you're the monsters of this army, you have put fear deep into your previous enemies, and you will do the same here! Understand!?"

"SIR YES SIR!"

"Soldiers! Aim your rifles towards the sky!"

Everyone aimed the rifles towards the sky. I took my gun out of its holster and raised it in the air as well.

"Shoot 4 rounds to welcome them!"

*BANG!... BANG!... BANG!... BANG!*

"again!"

*BANG!... BANG!... BANG!... BANG!*

"AGAIN!"

*BANG!... BANG!... BANG!... BANG!*

"AGAIN!"

*BANG!... BANG!... BANG!... BANG!*

"First Lieutenant Amal Ahmed, second Lieutenant Shadow, Welcome to the M.L.A, The liberator of all people!"

*7:45 AM, 1 Km outside Emerald City, Ahmed's POV*

"We have arrived sir," Colonel Smith declared as he stopped the Humvee. "Don't rush, take your time saying your goodbye, I'm not going anywhere."

"Thank you, Smith, I really appreciate it. Let's go Amy,"

"Right behind you,"

We both got out of the car and moved into the woods, holding each other's hands.

We just went deeper into the forest, going real slow, both of us don't want this moment to end. But like I have a choice.

"Ok," I said, stopping at place. "This is far enough."

I slowly took Amy's other hand and looked at her eyes. She's about to cry, her eyes were already full of tears, just waiting for a reason to fall. Even though, she's keeping her wonderful smile… why does it have to be so hard…

"Amy… I'm not the best at saying goodbye, and… it's not like that… that I won't return or something, it's only a couple of months-"

Amy couldn't bear it anymore, she exploded in tears and loud crying. She dropped herself on my chest.

"Amy…" I gently rubbed her back quills to calm her down.

Now… I actually understand how my parents felt like when I left them to form the M.L.A, I understand why they were against it in the first place… the feeling that your beloved one is in danger, you can't see him… you can't check on him… you expect the news of his death at any moment… I really didn't want it to be like this, but emotions overwhelmed both of us.

"Th- thank you, Ahmed… y- you are tr- truly my s- s- savior, and m- my hero…"

"I'm no hero, I just did what I had to do. No need to glorify me."

"Yo- you kn- know… we d- didn't have breakfast y- yet…" Amy parted away a couple of feet, and put down her backpack on the ground and searched through it. "I- I got s- some f- food, f- for us, from the military r- rations. S- some biscuits a- and toast b- bread with b- blueberry jam… let's sit and h- have some food t- to… together… o- okay?"

"That's fine by me," I sat on the grass next to her. "Do your magic."

Amy let out a small laugh despite still crying a bit.

Amy slowly took out the food from her backpack and started making sandwiches, too slow… she wants me to stay next to her as much as she can… she still trying to keep her smile, even though she's sad, even though she's still crying a bit… her smile is the best thing in the world.

"H- here," Amy handed me the sandwich, I took it and started to eat slowly.

Amy didn't make anything for herself, she just kept looking at me, feeling my body very often. She's making sure she will remember every single thing she can get about me.

Just as I finished the sandwich, Amy assaulted me with another one. "Here, h- have this as well."

"You need to eat as well Amy, you eat it for me, I won't go anywhere."

"O- ok," Amy took the sandwich and ate it instead of me.

I kept looking at her, watching how she chews her food, how she gulps it, how she tries to keep her smile intact and not to explode in tears…

As Amy finished her own sandwich she slowly crept towards me and claimed on top of me. "Ahmed."

"Yes?"

"Make love to me,"

"What?"

"Please, it doesn't have to be long, just a quickie before you leave, please Ahmed."

"We are in a forest, Amy…"

Amy's emerald eyes looked at me, begging me to do what she asked for. I couldn't really resist, and I didn't want to leave her sadder than she is already.

"Ok, I will do it for you, but it will be fast and you must keep your voice down."

"Ok, I promise."

---

*Warning, adult scene*

---

I took hold of Amy's head and started to kiss her, I inserted my tongue inside her mouth and we French kissed.

As I did that, I slid my hand into her pants to rub her clit, it was already dripping wet. I started doing it slowly, Amy started to make muffled moans as I dominated her mouth.

She didn't stay still, her hands headed for my pants and unhooked the belt, then she freed my throbbing erection. She took it in her hands and stroked it gently. Her touch were like electricity, electricity full of pleasure.

We stopped our kissing for air. "Hey Amy, let's play a game."

"I'm all for it, what's the game?"

"Who makes the other cum wins, the winner will be on top in the main course, what do you say?"

"Ummm… can I do whatever it takes to make you cum?"

"Yes, and I can do it as well, so be careful."

She giggled. "Ok, we start now."

Amy stroked me again as I rubbed her clit as well, each of us rubbing the other as hard as we can, and panting from pleasure

"Nothing yet?" Amy asked sarcastically.

"No, not close yet," I said calmly, then I inserted a finger into her womanhood, causing her to yelp from the surprise. "How about you? You are very sensitive anyways, it won't take me much work to finish you off, and off course…" I went for her ears, licking the first and rubbing the other one with my hand. "I know your weakness point."

"Ughhh, I-, mmm…, I won't let you win that simple."

Despite what Amy says, her moans were getting louder by the minute.

"What are these cute sounds, Amy? Are you cumming soon?" I whispered through her ears as I gave it a gentle bite.

"N- no.. Mmnnm, not before I make you cum first, uhhhhhh..."

"Heh, good luck with that."

Despite what I was saying, I was close. Her hands were talented and soft, and she would lube my member with her saliva occasionally making it feels really pleasurable and intense, but I was too good hiding it. I need to to make her climax first, and I know how to do so.

I inserted extra finger into her womanhood, roaming around her walls. Her moans were almost the same. We kept like this for a few minutes, getting to the edge with each passing moment…

Until I found her G-spot.

"AHHH!" Amy cried from the intense pleasure.

"What's that?" I said with a smirk. "Looks like it's your G-spot."

Amy didn't reply, only began whining and moaning loudly. She even let go of my member and stopped stroking it.

"Why did you stop? You will lose like that," My smirk grew wider.

"I don't care! Just make me CUM!" Amy cried loudly.

"Gladly," I kept stimulating her G-spot as I returned to French kiss her again. Amy moaning in my mouth.

It didn't take me over a minute to bring her into orgasm.

"I- I can't hold anymore! CummiAHHH!..."

Amy's womanhood shot all of its juices on my hand, and I kept stimulating her to give her as much pleasure as I can.

Amy collapsed on my chest, panting heavily.

"W- why men don't have a G-spot? This is so unfair!" Amy frowned angrily, but she ended up being far cuter that way.

"Sorry, but that's life, you can't get everything," I gave her a kiss on her forehead. "And I got a prize to claim."

"Uh, fine… How do you want to do it?"

"I want to take you from behind. Get on all fours."

"Ok, have it your way."

Amy went to the nearest tree for support, then she got on her hands and knees, and waving her butt left and right. "Come here stud, take your prize."

"Gladly," I kneeled behind her, unbuttoned her top, then I pulled down her bra to free her breasts. I grabbed each one and started playing with them and kissing Amy's neck, getting quiet moans from her.

"I'm ready now, do it." Amy said quietly.

"With pleasure," I grabbed her face and kissed her while I guided myself into her womanhood, going in slowly until my whole shaft was in.

"Well, that was far easier this time," I chuckled.

"Just move,"

"Ok, as you wish."

I went in and out slowly, Amy moaning at each move I do, and my mind slips away from reality to our little heaven of love.

Moving was a bit easier this time since the hymen was gone, just sending pleasure into her walls, and her walls pleasure me back.

"Mmm… this so good, go faster a bit." Amy said with moans.

I grabbed her hips and gradually picked up speed, and giving a bit of attention to her G-spot.

"Ahh yes! Hit it again!" Amy cried from pleasure.

"Here!" I did it harder than before.

"YES! THAT'S SO GOOD!"

I went really fast at last, hugging Amy from behind as I did so. Her walls tightening on my member, she's about to climax, and I'm about to as well.

"I love you, Ameddo!" Amy said in her moans.

"And I love you to, Ames. My beautiful innocent pink angel," I said as I pinched her nipples with my hands.

"I- I'm gonna cum!"

"Me too, I want to release inside, you are on the pill, right?"

"Yes! Just fucking do it!"

Amy's moans were getting too loud, so I grabbed her face and French kissed her.

Finally… she did it.

"Mmmm!..."

Amy's walls have released all of its juices on my member, that was the final straw for me.

*Splurt!*

...

...

...

With one last push, I planted my entire length into her and shot 8 loads into her womb.

Amy moaned into my mouth while I kept kissing her to prevent her from making the entire forest from hearing us.

Finally, I let go off her mouth, both of us panting. We collapsed on the grass, me hugging Amy from behind, and my member still into her.

"Ameddo… I love you so much,"

"Love is Mutual, Ames," I hugged her tighter.

Finally, my member returned to its normal size. I pulled out and a steady flow of semen came out of her womanhood, I used a tissue to clean her then hugged her again after we pulled up our pants.

---

*End of the adult scene, you can continue reading now*

---

We cuddled afterwards for a few more minutes. Sense crept over my mind again, reminding me that I need to go.

"Amy… it's time for me to leave."

"Not just yet, Ahmed. Just… few more minutes," Amy grabbed my hand and tightened on it.

"Amy… I need to leave, you already made me eat breakfast with you, and we had sex. You can't just make me stay anymore," I got up from the grass, Amy followed me and stood up as well.

"Ahmed," Amy hugged me for one last time. "Take care, and stay safe."

"I'll, stay safe for me as well, ok?"

"O- ok."

Amy leaned in and kissed me, she inserted her tongue into my mouth unlike the usual, where she would let me dominate her mouth. I just let her do what she wants, tasting each inch of my wall… kissing passionately… not wanting to let go… not wanting to stop… trying to stop tears to fall… but they do anyway… trying to keep on… but running out of Oxygen…

Finally, Amy would let go off me.

"I know it's only a couple of months, but it would feel like the entirety for me. Because I don't live it with you,"

Amy let out a small giggle. "Quite a poet you are, aren't you?"

"I can surprise you,"

Suddenly, the Nano-dust was flying around us. Finally, Alexandra's form appeared next to me.

"Thank God sir, I thought I was too late." Alexandra wiped a digital drop of sweat off her forehead.

"Hello Alexandra, what brings you here?"

"I spent the entire night trying to see what happened to me… there are some protocols into my system that are blocked from being accessed or used, I tried to unlock it but I failed to do so. These protocols were triggered yesterday

"That's strange… I thought that was a glitch, but an unused protocol that is blocked from being used or accessed? That requires from us to ask some questions to Miles… but I have no time," I was scratching my chin, thinking for a quick solution.

"Actually sir, that's not why I came here."

"Really? Then what's the reason?"

"I want to come with you… to earth."

"Earth? You want go to earth with me?" I don't know if I can-"

"I know that people on earth are humans, and I have a solution for my 'unhuman' form that might attract unwanted attention."

Suddenly, Alexandra dissolved into Nano-dust and rebuilt herself into a human form.

"Ta Da! What do you think sir?"

"Well, it's good and everything, but…"

Alexandra the A.I copied herself to look like…

Alexandra Romanov, the daughter of Nicolas II Romanov, the last emperor of the second Russian Empire.

"Is it because I copied Alexandra Romanov, who has been killed savagely along side her family by the Bolsheviks?"

"Exactly, although I'm not sure if she was really killed or not, the historians aren't sure about that part. But returning to our main topic, I don't mind you coming like that. I think you will be very useful for us."

"Thank you sir, I won't let you down."

"Ahmed," Amy called me.

"Yes?"

"Let me take a selfie for us together, as a memory for us."

"Sure thing,"

Amy took out her phone from her pocket and opened the camera,

"Smile!"

*Click*

Amy took the selfie she desired so much. I took a few steps away from her, I closed my eyes, and started to focus my inner energy. The energy began to flow through me, when I was focused enough.

*Trick*

*Boom!*

The smoke didn't blind the place since I was out in the open, I returned to my human form.

"And finally,"

*Trick*

The portal between our worlds was opened, it was 3 meters in width and 3 meters in height.

"Amy… time to go,"

"O- ok," Amy began to sob slightly again.

I walked with heavy steps towards the portal, I stopped right in front of it. I felt like a part of my heart is going to be ribbed off me…

"Amy,"

"Yes?"

I opened my arms wide open. "Come here and give me a hug,"

Amy ran into me and hugged me, I kneeled so that I can hug her as well, Amy crying as hard as she can on my chest.

"Amy… every night, you go to the communication center, at 9 PM, I will call you from earth. You wait for me, Ok?"

"O- ok," Amy nodded.

We let go off each other, I finally walked through the portal with the human-looking Alexandra. After taking a couple of steps, I turned to look at Amy for the last time…

You're the light in my night

You're the reason for my life

You're the ruler over my might

Stay close to my sight

"P- peace… Amy,"

"P- peace… Ahmed,"

*Flash!*
