Chapter IV: Confrontation
---------------------------------
Shadow grinned. This was much easier than he expected, they had already taken four of the Chaos Emeralds. One question still lingered in his mind, though..
"Sigma," Shadow said, turning to his friend. He continued, "why is it we're collecting the Chaos Emeralds? You never mentioned why.." The emerald hedgehog seemed uncomfortable with this question. He bit his lower lip, pondering his answer.
"It is.. hard to explain. The answer will be clear once we have them all," he said, hoping that that would satisfy the ebony hedgehog's curiosity. But it didn't. Shadow was going to continue the conversation, but decided against it. There was one thing he was sure about that caused him to agree to this plan.. a certain cobalt hedgehog had a certain Chaos Emerald. That meant a sure encounter. Shadow's rage started up again at the thought of that hedgehog.. Son- no. He wouldn't even THINK his name. The thought of once being comrades made him sick. He forced the thought from his mind and focused on their next target.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The phone rang. Sonic mindlessly and picked up the receiver. The doctors were going to inform him that Knuckles and Tails weren't doing any better, he knew it-
"Are they doing any better?" he half-asked, already knowing the answer, but the voice that responded brought him to his senses..
"Huh? Sonic, are you okay? It was a female voice. A young female voice. A recognizable voice..
"Amy?" Sonic almost yelled. He thought for sure it'd be the doctors..
"Yep! I was just calling to ask if you'd about what's going on lately." Before he could even respond, she added, "pretty creepy, huh?" Sonic half-laughed.
"Yeah, I wonder-" Again, Amy cut him off.
"I better put my emerald somewhere safe, then. It looks like they're after the Chaos Emeralds," she said. Sonic didn't catch more than two words, because the mention of her having an emerald made his blood run cold. He almost dropped the phone. The blue hedgehog merely stood there in silence for a few minutes before Amy asked, "Sonic?" He half came back to his senses.
"Amy," he said firmly. "I want you to come over to my house as fast as you can. With your Emerald, okay?" He could hear the young hedgehog's squeal of delight.
"REALLY!?" she exclaimed. "I'll be over as soon as I can! 'K, bye!" And she hung up. He only prayed that she wouldn't be too late..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tellers were screaming. Everyone but two tellers were now under the Obsidian Emerald's spell, and Sigma had the black emerald pointed at them.
"I want you to give us the Chaos Emerald now, if you don't wish to join them," he said, glaring into her eyes. Shadow walked over to her, taking the white emerald from her. The teller stuttered,
"C-can we.. g-go n-now?" Shadow looked to Sigma, amused.
"Well, what do you say? Can they go?" Shadow asked, grinning.
"Oh, I don't know.. all that screaming may have attracted some attention. However, I am feeling generous.." Sigma said, trailing off. A nervous grin crossed the teller's face. "Oh well." And the two tellers were sent out of consciousness.
Police were arriving. If they saw them, things would get bad. The hedgehogs both knew their next target so they nodded at each other, each grabbing an emerald. With a flash of green light and a ripple in time and space, they were gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somebody knocked at the door. Sonic let out a sigh of relief, opening it. Amy stepped in, and, to his relief, she was carrying the aquamarine emerald. She was beaming a mile a minute, overflowing with joy of actually being INVITED to Sonic's house. He was joyed to see her, too, but not for the same reason. Amy walked inside.
"Why did you have me bring my emerald, Sonic?" Sonic tried to think of an excuse. Was he actually worried about her? He dismissed the thought with a mental laugh. 'Yeah, right,' he thought.
"Well.. you said you wanted your emerald in a safe place, so what's a safer place than with the world's fastest supersonic hedgehog?!" He hurried along his answer, not letting her think of anything else for a minute. Amy giggled, plopping down on the sofa.
Sonic noticed something. The young pink hedgehog was actually dressed up for the occasion, if you could call it that. Instead of her wild red skirt, she wore a flashy neon-green blouse with flower designs on it, and she was wearing perfume, which, wasn't unusual, because that was her newest phase. 'Does she think this is a..a..date?' he thought, mentally laughing again.
"So.. what do you want to do, Sonic?" Amy asked, still grinning wide. Sonic thought for a minute and blurted out,
"How about dinner? I still have some chinese from a while ago!" Sonic couldn't believe what he said. He dismissed his silly thought with the idea that that was from the thousands of times he'd babysat her. But still..
Amy squealed with delight, clapping her hands together.
"YEAH! That sounds great!" she said, obviously thrilled by this whole thing.
The two went through dinner, Monopoly, card games, and TV among several other things, which was enough to keep Amy occupied, so Sonic was relieved by that fact. He couldn't help but look back at her several times. She idid/i look cute, if you could call it that.. Sonic was loathe to admit it, but, glancing at the clock, he knew that Amy was going to have to spend the night. Whoever was taking the emeralds could catch her easily if she was home during the night.. He swallowed hard, and said,
"Amy, this may sound weird, but I really think you should stay here tonight, and go home tomorrow morning."
Amy stared at him with tired, yet wide eyes. Was she hearing things? Did the hedgehog of her dreams actually just ask her to stay the night?
"Okay! That sounds nice!" She exclaimed, but 'nice' couldn't describe how she was feeling. The two of them prepared for bed. Amy took Sonic's bed, so without a choice (without a logical choice), he slept on the sofa. He was out like a light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They arrived in Amy's apartment with a shock. The door was literally knocked off the hinges. Everything was a mess, the bed was broken, as was mostly everything. The room was a disaster area of scattered items. Somebody had been looking for the emerald. Sonic's suspicions were correct. The two stepped into the apartment. Amy was gaping at the damage done.
"What happened here?!" The normally obnoxiously ecstatic hedgehog was shocked and nearly speechless. The responding voice almost made her scream.
"Somebody was missing," said a mysterious dark emerald-colored hedgehog as he stepped into the apartment. Amy and Sonic stood there, staring at him. They couldn't yell, run, or speak. The green hedgehog had a black emerald in his hand, pointed directly at Sonic. Finally, Sonic was able to speak.
"Who are you!?" he demanded, pointing at the intruder.
The dark green hedgehog chuckled.
"I am Sigma the hedgehog," he said, not shifting his position the slightest bit. Seeing as how nobody could say anything, he continued. "If you are wondering, this emerald can send you soaring out of consciousness until I want it to stop. Of course, if you destroy it, there will be no way to bring you-or anyone else-back. Got it? Good. Now I want you to give me the emerald and I'll let you go with your good health," he said, grinning at his plan.
"No, Amy, don't!" Sonic shouted to the young hedgehog, as she had made a move towards Sigma. The emerald hedgehog sighed.
"You don't seem to understand, Sonic," Sigma said with a tone of disappointment. "If you don't give me the emerald, I'm going to have to use the emerald on you," he continued.
Sonic narrowed his eyes, glaring silently at Sigma. After a few mute minutes, Sigma's patience snapped.
"FINE THEN! If you won't hand over the emerald, then I'll TAKE it from you!" he snapped, the Obsidian Emerald beginning to glow. Sonic ran at Sigma and tackled him. But he missed. He ended up tackling midair and falling face-first onto the cluttered ground. Sigma was now standing by Amy, who he had pinned to the wall.
Sonic was about to get up and attack, but another figure stepped into the apartment. Another hedgehog. Sonic froze. Identical to Sonic, but black with spiked quills that had red highlights. Shadow. Sonic tried to speak, but syllables came out instead of words.
"Greetings, blue hedgehog. If you want back the girl, then come to the forest to the north of town at noon tomorrow with your Chaos Emerald. You wouldn't want anything BAD to happen to Miss Rose, now would you?" Before Sonic could respond, Shadow's figure was doused in a green light and had vanished. Immediately, Sonic turned back to Sigma and Amy, and was about to make a move if it weren't for the black emerald that Sigma held. Sigma laughed.
"Looks like there'll be a party at our place tonight.." he said, causing a scream from Amy, but it was muffled by her sobbing. In a flood of green light, the both of them were gone.
He had lost. Again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow.. poor Amy ;P Did I say that? Anyways, I think Obsidian is going to become partly a romance fic, as I feared. Just to warn ya. Oh yeah, nothing above PG-13 though, except a lil suggestive dialogue. Naughty Sigma XP
Anyways.. prepare for our next action-packed chapter: Sonic vs. Shadow!
