Sonic raced along Green Hills without a care. It had been too long. He couldn't wait to see the players faces when they learned SA2 was a remake of the first Sonic The Hedgehog for genesis. They had start with Green Hills, his stomping grounds. It had been too long. To run over the rushing water on the familiar logged bridges, with one spin attack take down the Bee-Bomber Badnicks here on his birth place of South Island. It had indeed been too long.
For once in his life, Sonic actually showed down to enjoy the view. The smell of grass and water filling his nostrils. This was where his entire fight against Robotnic had started. Had it already been ten years? He certainly looked it. He had grown a head taller, his quills much longer, his encounter with the Master Emerald during Sonic & Knuckles had left his brown eyes green. And to celebrate things he had bought himself a new pair of shoes, the retailer said they were called 'grinders'. He still hadn't figured out what he meant yet. Sonic's pride prevented him from asking. Maybe when this was all over. He should go visit Tails and Amy, as much as he hated to admit it, it just wasn't fun anymore without some one along. At first he had liked no one weighting him down in Sonic One and Sonic CD. But now, it didn't feel so much like weight, but an honor to share an adventure with close friends. Sure he had cleared the immediate area of badnicks, the hedgehog laid on his back talking in the sun. The blue hedgehog dozed off in the blissful warmth, yea, this was the life.
A bellow from a load speaker awoke the hero from his slumber. "This is the Military Police! Put your hands in the air and freeze!" This was NOT how the game was sopposed to go.

Amy stayed over that night. Tails pulled out the extra cot he used when Sonic visited. Tails went into a long discussion on how the Tornado III/Cyclone I worked. Amy understood less than half of what he said, but she didn't mind, she just liked hearing his voice. She fell asleep listening to him speak.
Amy woke up the next morning feeling more alive than she had in weeks. While Tails prepared breakfast Amy flipped on the radio hoping to catch something she liked. She instead got a news lady with a British accent, Amy would of turned the dial if not for the word the woman on the radio said just as Amy's white gloved touched the knob.
"Sonic The Hedgehog was successfully recaptured last night by GUN unit Spider Troop after yesterday's in flight escape from cousity. The military police would only comment the Hedgehog had, the day before, deliberately caused damaged to military installations. After his escape the renowned hero broke into San Francisco's first national bank. Strangely, the only object discovered missing was the Green Chaos Emerald. Sonic's place of interment was not divulged."

Tails almost burned himself on the stove as his arms had gone limb. Time seemed frozen, neither paid the radio any more mind. Amy's twin brass bracelets shined in the morning light. Time started again. Tails was on his computer in a flash. Pushing his computer skills to their limit over the next two hours he hacked into the military police's system using a satellite bounce to keep himself from being traced, he found out where Sonic was being shipped to. The idea of Sonic having actually done what the radio had said never crossed either of their minds.
"Got it!" Exclaimed Tails. After memorizing the location Tails jumped up from the computer and raced towards the door. Amy tried to follow. Tails realized this and faced her.
"Amy, I can't risk you going there. This isn't like Eggman's screwy Egg Carrier. This is a base of the Guard of the United Nation's I'll be breaking into. And this is the first time I'll be using the Tornado III in battle. Stay here please!" Amy had barely nodded when Tails ran out the door.
Amy waited until she saw the Tornado in biplane form take off. She looked at the map on Tails computer.
Amy didn't know much about computers. But she did know how to read a map. And this thing also showed the weather. And Tails was going to have to make a major detour to avoid a storm that was coming. Amy wondered if he noticed it. What if he wasn't prepared for a storm? There was no telling what could happen to Sonic in the mean time. (Amy had no delusions about the kindness of the 'good guys' to prisoners.)
What if Tails didn't get there? She had to go. Starting then stopping, then grabbing some cash from Tails' table Amy ran out of the cabin down the ladder on the side of the hanger towards the wood dock underneath the train station. To Amy's relief it wasn't the wood row boat she usual saw waiting on the water, but a speed boat like the concrete pier in station square had. Giving the money to the dock owner for the rent of the boat Amy jumped in and sped off. If her experience with Sonic R had given her anything, it was how to drive on both land and water.

After what Amy had gathered, she was surprised she didn't drive the boat right over a mine when she saw the island come into being over the horizon. Or get a dozen machine gun argamented G.U.N. hover/camera pods floating above her. She saw activity going on the island's floating Weapon's Bed, she had no idea what, but she figured it was distracting the personelle from noticing a one hedgehog speed boat. Amy also had a chilling feeling . . . her foresight might of had something to do with it. Amy had never talked about it to anyone, (now she was beginning to wish she had talked about it with Tails) it had started happening after her first encounter with Sonic on Little Planet, the second moon, which phased into existence once per month for an predict amount of time, then phased back out of the time stream. It was never mentioned in the game, and only hinted at in the manuals. But for Amy it was very real. Contrary to what the nine hundred number people tell you, you can't use ESP to know the next lottery number. In fact it was impossible to tell what she was going to have for breakfast. It wasn't something Amy could call on, it came to her of it's own choosing. For over a year it had remained completely dormant, and Amy hoped it was gone. But she felt the feeling again, of someone else directing her hands as she in turn guided the boat. She never knew that her self written course led her right though a blind spot in G.U.N. sonar net.

When Amy got to the floating Weapon's Bed, she was surprised not to see any security, that was when she noticed the blown apart robots (they weren't Badnicks). Getting out of the boat, she looked out on the deck of the noon day sun. That was when she saw a hedgehog shaped mass in the glare of the sun.
Running up she grabbed hold of what she though for sure was her hero.
"Sonic! I'm so glad your alright." That was when the hedgehog turned his head glaring at her. That's when reality clicked in Amy's head. She saw the red and black fur and crimson eyes and the star burst quill style that reminded her of super Sonic.
It was like she was looking at Sonic's evil twin (she vaguely thought of Ashura, a green glitch Sonic who had popped up when she was out of the loop in Sonic 2, but that one had been green . . . . ) "Your not Sonic! Who are you?" She exclaimed in alarm.
"I'm the one who should be asking that question." Said a voice she knew all too well. The heavy walker Amy had taken for just another piece of machinery turned 180 degrees to reveal a fat man in a red coat with a red mustache and glasses with goggles.
"Dr. Eggman?" Amy said, talking a step back letting go of the impostor Sonic. She noticed a white furred bat in a skin tight black and pink outfit that gross exaggerated her chest features, Amy noticed the clawed arm length gloves. Nails . . . she had heard just before Sega severed ties from her. This had to be the same bat. [i] Stop looking you idiot! They're going to kill you! [/i] Scream the voice of Amy's own thoughts.
Amy had destroyed E-100 'Zero' one on one, but her reason won out against taking on Eggman in one of his killing machines and two unknown fighters all at once.
So she ran for her speedboat, screaming to lead them into a false sense of victory while she escaped. But Eggman seemed to see right through it as he motioned the phony Sonic and 'Nails' to go about their business and leave him deal with her and started chasing Amy in his bi-ped walking version of his Egg-o-Matic! Amy was about to jump for her speedboat when she saw...it wasn't there! She must've forgotten to tie it...
Eggman taunted, "Give up, Amy!" If Amy didn't believe in a god before, she did in the next five second when Tails landed in the Cyclone form of his fighter in-between her and the mad doctor! Amy exclaimed, "Tails, you made it!"
But Tails, ignoring the statement, said Protectively "Stand back, Amy!," . Tails gripped the control stick hard, if Robotnic wanted to fight him fine, but if Eggman wanted Amy the lunatic was going to have to go though the him first!
[i] I love you Amy. [/i]
