CHAPTER 3
Amy was admiring her new decoration. She had just gone on one of those Mystic Ruins safaris. She was beginning to think that it was a total waste of time and money. She was about to turn around and get her money back, when something caught her eye. It was a deep red jewel, and it was very shiny. She quickly grabbed it and rejoined the group. It now sits on her coffee table. "Its so amazing," she thought. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. She went to answer it.
The figure at the door was a tall, sleek, gray echidna with short dreadlocks. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a white flower pinned to his vest. He was very handsome. "May I come in?" "If you're a salesperson, I don't want to buy anything." Amy replied. "No, I'm not a salesperson," Rex replied, "I am just a secret admirer, wanting to get to know you better." Amy was about to politely turn him down, when she suddenly got a very wicked idea. Not that she wanted anything SERIOUS with this guy, but she could use him to make Sonic JEALOUS, then Sonic would be HER'S, and they would get MARRIED, and live happily ever after! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
She quickly invited him in, and sat him on the couch. Rex looked at the Chaos emerald on the table in front of him. "Wow," he said, "That's a nice. . . emerald." Rex started to sweat. "Oh, you like it?" Amy said. She sat down right next to him. "I didn't know it was an emerald, though. Are you a jewel collector?"
"Uh. . . Sort of."
Amy pressed up next to Rex who had now soaked his tuxedo with sweat. "Oh, you're hot." Amy said.
"Ex. . . Excuse me?!?"
"Look at you, you're all sweaty."
Rex stammered. "Oh, yeah. I'm burning up. CAN I HAVE A DRINK, PLEASE?" He almost screamed.
"Sure, let me get you a cup of tea or something." Amy replied. She walked into the kitchen, leaving Rex alone with the Chaos emerald. "Ha! It worked!" Rex said. He grabbed the emerald and was about to pocket it when Amy came back into the room. She saw Rex trying to steal her emerald, and reacted. . . negatively.
Amy pulled out her Poki Poki hammer and pointed it at him. " Drop it, punk," she said, "Oh, please." Rex replied. "I am Dark Rex, the ultimate warrior!" He stuck his face out. "Give it your best shot."
WHAM!
Rex flew through Amy's wall and landed in the hallway. His jaw was dislocated, and his nose was broken. He set his jaw back into place and his nose regenerated naturally. "Ok, lady, I told myself that I wasn't gonna hurt you, but you leave me NO CHOICE!" Rex stomped back through Amy's doorway, but she was hiding next to the door, so when Rex came in. . .
WHAM!
Rex flew back into the hallway and slammed into the wall. Amy ran down the steps to the front door of the apartment building. Rex chased her down the steps, and smashed through the glass door. When Rex got out of the apartment building, he looked left just in time to see. . .
WHAM!
Rex flew into a street lamp pole from that attack, and when he got up, he yelled. "AMY! GIVE ME THE CHAOS EMERALD OR FEEL MY WRATH!" Amy looked down at her red jewel. "This is a Chaos Emerald?" she said to him. "Yes, now give it to me!" Rex growled. She turned away from him and said, "No! Its mine!" Rex had formed his katana blade and was about to attack when Sonic and Tails landed the Tornado about twenty feet away. They got out and ran up to Amy. "Sonic! I'm so happy to see you!" Amy said. "Quick, Amy. Give me the emerald!" Sonic yelled.
"No! Give it to us!"
Knuckles had yelled from the stairs leading to the Station Square train station, which Amy lived only a block from. Knuckles and Strider ran down the stairs and stopped a few feet from Rex. Sonic looked at Strider for a minute, then picked Tails up by the shoulders. "My sidekick's better," he teased. Strider looked down at Knuckles and said, "I'm not a sidekick, I'm your partner." Knuckles glared at Sonic and said, "Ignore him, Strider. He's an idiot."
Sonic ignored him and turned to Amy. "Give me the emerald, Amy. Please?" Sonic said. Knuckles screamed. "Give ME the Emerald! As guardian, it rightfully belongs to me!" He said. Sonic got up in Knuckles' face. "It'll be safer with me!" Sonic yelled. "No it won't! It'll be safer with ME!" Knuckles replied. The two got into a screaming competition, which was suddenly interrupted when Amy screamed. Sonic and the rest turned to see Rex holding Amy up by the back of her dress. "I will take the Chaos emerald," he said. Amy was kicking wildly, and decided to that there was only one way to get out of the situation. She quickly brought her foot back and hit Dark Rex where you should never, ever, EVER hit a man. It's the un- written rule. Rex let go of Amy and doubled over in pain, giving Amy a chance to run for it. Rex tried to run after her, Sonic and friends blocked his way. "So, you wanna fight?" he said. "Go ahead. Fight. Heh heh heh." He produced four black balls that flew out of his hand and hovered above each of the characters. The balls emitted a red light over each of them, then went back to Rex, where they circled him. Suddenly each of them exploded, revealing a gray hedgehog, a gray fox, a gray hawk, and a gray echidna. Rex laughed. "Fools!" He said. "Have fun fighting your doubles!" Rex flew up and over the heroes and after Amy. The doubles attacked Sonic and the others quickly. Clone Sonic landed a homing attack on Sonic, Clone Knuckles punched Knuckles in the gut, Clone Tails tried to tail-attack Tails but missed, and Clone Strider landed a flying kick on Strider's face. Sonic countered with his own homing attack, but Clone Sonic spin dashed out of the way. Knuckles punched his double in the gut, and Clone Knuckles countered with a cross to the face. Strider and Clone Strider were going blow for blow, attacking each other with a flurry of kicks and punches. Meanwhile, Tails and his counterpart were engaged in an incredible test of wits and intelligence.
"You're stupid!"
"No, YOU'RE stupid!"
"Well, you're stupider!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"

Amy fled down the street with Dark Rex right behind her. After running for a short while, she came upon a dead end, where Dark Rex cornered her. He pulled out his katana blade. "Ok, girlie," he said, "Give me the Chaos emerald, and no-one gets hurt. . . Much." Amy held the Emerald away from Rex and stuck her tongue out at him. " Rex clenched his teeth and said, "So that's how it's gonna be, huh?" He began to walk slowly towards her.
@@@@@@@@
Sonic and friends were having a tough time fighting their doubles. They were too much alike to gain the advantage. Sonic and Knuckles were both knocked into a building by their doubles, and they landed next to each other. Knuckles slowly turned to Sonic and said, "Hey, Sonic." Sonic looked over at Knuckles and said, "What?"
"I think we would stand a better chance fighting each other's clones."
"Not bad, Knuckle-head."
They both stood up and rushed each other's counterpart. Sonic's spin dash hit was a direct hit on Clone Knuckles, and Knuckles rushed Clone Sonic with a dash punch, which knocked a couple of teeth out. Tails and his evil clone were now locked in THE STARING CONTEST OF TOTAL DEVASTATION. Strider jumped up in the air and went to roundhouse kick his opponent, but Clone Strider grabbed his leg and squeezed, sending sharp, stinging pains up the left side of Strider's body. Strider knew that there was only one way that he would win his fight.
He broke the un-written rule.
Clone Strider knelt over and yelled loudly, and when he did, Strider grabbed his head and smashed his knee into it, causing a slight crunching sound. Clone Strider fell on his face, a black puddle of tar forming around his fractured skull. Tails eyes were really starting to hurt, and he was about to give in, when an innovative thought came to him. "Maybe I should HIT HIM," Tails thought. He threw a wild haymaker punch at Clone Tails, catching him in the eye. Clone Tails stared in disbelief for a second, then started to cry. Clone Tails wiped his tears, pointed at Tails, and said, "You're gonna PAY!" He charged at Tails full force, arms swinging, He was about to reach his target, when Strider came out of nowhere and punched Clone Tails in the side of the head. The punch was so strong that it tore Clone Tails' head clean off, sending it into a building, where it exploded into tar. The body twitched for a second, then fell to the ground.
Knuckles and Sonic were doing well fighting each other's clones. Sonic grabbed Clone Knuckles and Knuckles took Clone Sonic. The heroes slammed each other's enemies into each other, taking what used to be two proud, evil clones and turning them into one proud, evil mess of tar. Sonic dusted off his hands and said, "Well, that takes care of business." "No it doesn't," Knuckles replied. "Where's Amy?"
Rex flew over the heroes, holding the Chaos Emerald. He smiled, and took off. Knuckles punched a building. "Damn! He got it!" Knuckles said. Sonic ran to go find Amy. He found her locked in an empty Dumpster, but relatively unhurt. "Sonic, you saved me!" Amy said, as Sonic pulled her out of the Dumpster. She threw her arms around him, but he shoved her off. The heroes regrouped at Amy's apartment and discussed the problem. "Ok," Sonic said, "Let's go over what we know about Rex. One, He's very powerful. Two, He can't die. Three, every Emerald he gets makes him stronger, and he's got two. We have none."
Strider stood up. "Actually," he said, "We have one." Everyone looked over at him as he reached into his vest and pulled out a Chaos Emerald.
