Purest Of Hearts
Chapter 3: Twice the Darkness
"…THREE!" The orange fox yelled loudly as he winded up his tails and slid his backpack on.
Sonic's ears perked up promptly from the shout behind him." Huh? Hey, what are you…-?"
But before he got the opportunity to turn completely around, Amy had quickly wrapped her arms around Sonic's neck firmly and gently placed her chin on his broad shoulder. She smiled sweetly as her giggles tickled his ear lightly causing his tan cheeks to turn a soft shade of red.
Good thing Sonic was facing the other way because Tails would've never let him live that down.
Tails had promptly made it inside the Pastry Shop with some money he "borrowed" from Sonic a while ago even though in the back of his mind was telling him he should've asked first. But, he thought he'd get Sonic back for taking his Tornado2 for a "test" drive and literally demolished it. (Geez, everyone is stealing stuff XP) The wonderful aroma of freshly prepared pastries filled the whole shop and made Tails' mouth water.
He gazed at all the beautifully decorated cakes and all the other scrumptious desserts. As he was caught in awe and slight hunger he finally managed to find the words to express his mood, "Woah…I think I'm in heaven…"
"It's even better the second time you come here!"
Tails' attention was brought upon two hedgehogs a couple feet away outside the shop. He walked up to the side of the glass window and took a little peak to see what's happened so far between his blue hero, Sonic, and close friend, Amy that he had abandoned temporarily. The sun's faint heat warmed the glass and a generous amount of sunshine shone lightly through the window making the curious fox's eyes glow a light blue and his fur glisten with a radiance of golden orange.
His cerulean eyes focused on a cobalt hedgehog and a slightly smaller pink one. Amy still had her arms tightly wrapped around Sonic's neck who was squirming around trying to get free of his rosy tormentor.
Tails laughed, "Aw, now that's a Kodak moment. Man, I should've packed my digital camera!" He shrugged," Oh well maybe next time…" Tails said as he casted one more glance back in Sonic and Amy's direction. His eyes widen slightly as a thought flashed in his mind.
"Holy crap! Did my eyes deceive me? Did I just see Sonic blush?"
It took Sonic a few moments to find his balance as he was pulled backwards by a pink hedgehog. He immediately recognized who the mysterious figure was from her innocent giggles and sweet scent of strawberries from her perfume. He felt Amy's cheek pressed to his nuzzling it softly.
The pink hedgehog whispered silently in his ear, "Long time no see, huh?"
Sonic broke free from her grasp and turned around to face her youthful face and bright green eyes. He looked around for his two-tailed backstabber and brushed Amy's question to the side. Man, Sonic was gonna kick Tails' ass when he got a hold of him.
"Why did he run off and leave me with HER." He thought.
Sonic soon gave up and lowered his gaze to the slightly shorter pink hedgehog. He tried to scare her off by putting up a bad temper.
" Eh, mind warning me before you pull a stunt like that? Geez, I nearly had a heart attack!" Sonic then narrowed his eyes at her and crossed his arms.
Amy reached for his hand and held it tight even though he tried to pull it free from her grip. She smiled warmly and giggled ignoring his bad mood, "Aw, if I did that then it wouldn't be exciting!" A teasing look settled on her face as she lightly nudged the blue hedgehog in the ribs, "Besiiiides, since when was Sonic the Hedgehog surprised? I thought you were always aware of things."
Sonic closed his eyes and grinned sheepishly, failing to keep the grudge. He managed to pull his hand loose of her grip and folded his arms behind his head, "Man, it's so hard to stay mad at this girl" He thought to himself.
"We'll Miss Rose, I wasn't really expecting to see you. " He shoved her lightly, " You keep popping up out of nowhere! Why don't you go find yourself something to do besides stalk me?"
Amy tilted her head a bit and examined the serious yet playful expression that formed on his face. She slowly walked up to him and hugged him gently and buried her face in his chest.
" Wow. I missed you too." She simply said in a muffled voice.
The Mystic Ruins was calm and quiet accompanied by the sound of rushing rivers and animals all around. The loft trees shaded the jungle as the sunshine poked through the tiny spaces of the leaves leaving pure bits of light scattered on the lush tall grass and rocky ground. Wild flowers and berries grew on the bushes and delicate butterflies fluttered from flower to flower gathering nectar.
An insane laughter echoed throughout the deep jungle from an enormous base. It would almost seem abandonded since there was no lights on or any sign of life.
Or was there?
An extremely round scientist was working under a dim light with only the humming of the computers and his robotic assistant, Zeta to keep him company.
Zeta was similar to a swatbot except was way more intellectual and faster and accommodated far more deadly weapons than just a single laser. Silver and black armor covered his body with very detailed designs along with a symbol of Eggman's ridiculous face embed on his chest in dull gray. He also had the ability to express himself with feeling, which could be quite bothersome at times to the mischievous Doctor Eggman. Despite of all the snappy gadgets and advanced improvements than the other robots, he still lacked in strength and was a lot smaller than others.
"Finally, I'm almost complete with my greatest invention yet! The Earth and soon the universe will belong to me. And those pathetic peace-loving humans will all become my robotic slaves! But what would be an evilicous name for this diabolical machine…?"
An idea came to the robot's mind, "How about…Project Zeta, sir?" .
Eggman narrowed his eyes and raised an eyebrow, "Why would I name my most brilliant scientific invention of all time after such a pathetic excuse for robot?! You're nothing but a hunk of worthless metal! I should've disposed of you a long time ago!"
"Now, make yourself useful and keep thinking of some actual BETTER names."
" With your 300 IQ you'd think you'd be able to come up with something, genius." Zeta murmured silently to himself.
"Did you something, Zeta?"
"Uh, No sir." He quickly changed the subject before he dug himself into even more misfortune, "How about this name sir…Project: Dark Egg?"
"No, no, no that won't wor- I got it! How about Project: Dark Egg?! I can't believe I thought of it myself! Eggman said with pride as he jerked a thumb at himself, " Ha ha ha, I'm so creative!"
Zeta rolled his mechanical glowing green eyes and sighed in defeat, "Good job, Master Robotnik."
"Thank you, thank you!" Eggman said full of himself. He taped his foot impatiently waiting for his assistant to make a move.
The small robot looked at him a bit confused, "Is there a problem, sir?"
"We'll? What in world are you waiting for you hunk of junk?! Go over there and start up the Dark Egg!"
" You didn't even-Ah, forget it, damnit."
Zeta walked over to the massive machine. It flickered with many lights of different colors and millions of buttons, switches, and knobs with all the works. He punched in a code as the enormous machine rumbled causing tools and experiments to fall over on to the hard metal floors.
Eggman looked on with excitement as it seemed his invention was heading for success," It's finally about to happen! In a matter of minutes the world will belong to-WHAT?!?!"
The Dark Egg stopped rumbling and an error message appeared on the gigantic computer screen nearby.
"Not enough energy to proceed with procedure."
"Whelp, it was good while it lasted." Zeta said, and then eyed all the wires and plugs, "Wow, that looks like enough electricity to power up three cities.
Eggman fell to his scrawny knees a slammed his fist on the chilly metal floor, "AH! I can't believe this is happening! What did I do wrong? My calculations were correct and…and…all that time I spent on testing it…all…-. "His sadness turned to anger as his voice rose, "ALL FORF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!"
"We'll not really."
Zeta and Eggman looked around furiously trying to figure out where that unknown voice came from. They soon focused their eyes on some sort of dark magician who appeared from the shadows of the laboratory. He wore a long black cape that swayed after him from behind as he walked and he was slightly taller than the Great Dr. Robotnik was. There really wasn't much to describe about this creature because he was mainly just some sort of shadow with small red eyes.
Eggman was the first to speak, "What do you mean not really? And who do you think you are trespassing on my secret base?"
The dark figure laughed, "Calm down you old fool. I am Embryo from the under world and I've come here to help you out on your quest to rule the earth."
" I don't need your help! I have everything under control."
Embryo pointed to the error message and smoke coming from the Dark Egg,"Not from what I see. Plus, I can put that massive machine to good use, "" A devilish grin formed on his face, " If you give me a chance. We could work together you know and of course, you'd be the actual ruler of the world, not me."
Eggman tugged lightly on his long mustache as he smiled menacingly, " Yeees, I like the way you think, Embryo."
Zeta tugged on his Master's sleeve a bit concerned, "Sir, I don't think this is such a good idea, I mean, look-"
"Quiet Zeta!" Eggman yelled as he shoved the little robot to the side and approached the tall shadow like figure.
"How are you planning on using my Dark Egg?"
"We'll…" Embryo started, " There's a certain energy that every human as well as anthropormorths has which is called "Pure Heart Energy". This energy is the powerfulest energy of all and is quite useful if you use it correctly. If we can find that one person or anthropormorth with that certain pure heart, then we could use it to power up your "Dark Egg" and turn that energy into darkness and take over the world and do as I please-Erm, I mean do as YOU please.
Zeta rapidly waved his arms around, " See?! Did you hear that, sir?! He said-"
"Damnit Zeta! One more word out of you and I'll turn you into a toaster!"
"But-but-(sigh)" He turned around and walked away to the entrance of the laboratory and leaned right on the doorway and crossed his mechanical arms.
"Fatass." Zeta mumbled to himself, " Just wait. You arrogance is going to catch up on you and you'll get what you deserve. It's just a matter of time…"
"So…Dr. Robotnik, "Embryo held out his pitch black hand and smiled wickedly, "Do we…have an agreement?"
It took Eggman a few moments to think about this little "deal" he was about to come to a close with Embryo. He wasn't totally sure if he should trust him but the plan that he cooked up sounded pretty damn good to him. He decided to brush off the warning his mind kept sending at him and held out his gloved hand toward his soon to be partner in crime.
"Yes. Let's get down to work!"
Embryo's eyes widen and glowed a more deadly red as he quickly took hold of Eggman's hand and squeezed it tight, "You're such a old fool, you know that?"
Eggman tried to pull free put the large shadow had a rely tight grasp of his hand, "What- What are you doing?! Let go of me! The deal is off!"
"I cannot allow that." Embryo said.
Thick dark smoke appeared around the demonic scientist as the truly evil magician moved in closer on his prey. All Eggman could remember feeling was a great amount of pain in his lower side as Embryo combined his body with his. The last thing he remembered seeing was pure darkness, not pure light.
Zeta could only stand and watch as his Master, the one who created him, was being engulfed by true darkness himself. Eggman might've been evil but even he doesn't deserve to die this way.
His neon green eyes gazed at the body on the floor, "Uhh..Master Robotnik Uhh…is t-that you?" He took a few steps closer.
Embryo spoke, " The scientist is no longer your Master, and he is gone for good! Mwhahaha!"
Zeta's eyes widen as eyes examined the new Eggman. His mustache had grew longer and instead of it being the old orangish brown color, it was completely black and so did his clothes. His body had gotten larger since Embryo and Eggman had joined bodies. But, he wasn't as round and fat like he usually was, instead he slightly more buffed.
Zeta did the first thing that came to his mind: Get the hell out of here! He headed straight for a nearby exit that lead out to the rest of the base. Even though it would take him a while to get outside the base and into the jungle of the Mystic Ruins, he hoped that he could get as far away as possible from this mad and inhuman creature.
Embryo rose into the air and glowed a bright purple. He lifted his strong hands and pointed them toward the exit and locked it shut using his telekinesis.
"Where do you think your going my little assistant?" Embryo said in a mix of his voice and the evil scientist, Dr. Eggman.
The little robot skid to a halt right before he was about to slam into the door and gulped, " Oh shit…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sonic and Amy both sat on a white bench in front of the Pastry Shop. Amy had already told him that Tails was inside and that they should wait for him. As Amy was enjoying her time with her blue hero a thought struck her like an arrow and she quickly jumped up from the bench.
"AH! I almost forgot! I was suppose to be getting some pastries for Chalulu!"
Sonic looked up at her since he was sitting and raised an eyebrow slightly confused, " Chalulu?
"Yes she's my chao! She's probably worried why I'm gone so long! I don't really leave her alone by herself much…." Her bright green eyes became watery as a few hot tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Hey there, No tears. You know I don't like seeing people cry." Sonic stood up and gently wiped the tears from her face and offered her a smiled.
Right on cue, Tails walked out of the Pastry Shop with two bags full of scrumptious donuts and cookies. He quickly saw that Amy was crying and ran up to the two hedgehogs.
"Geez, Sonic, What you do this time?" Tails said a bit annoyed.
"I didn't do anything I just-"
"I'm worried about my chao I left alone in my apartment. I was suppose to be coming down here and buying some pastries for Chalulu but I saw you guys and got a little bit distracted… I know it sounds stupid to cry over something like this but-"
Tails put his hand on her shoulder gently and smiled sympathetically, "Hey, don't worry. Here, you can have this other bag full of treats I bought from the Pastry Shop. I wasn't going to eat it all anyway!"He handed it to her as Amy embraced him with a sisterly hug.
Sonic eyed the two bags suspiciously and looked at Tails, "Hey Tails…Where'd you get the money to buy those?"
The little fox started sweating bullets furiously, " Uhh..I..I..it was a gift."
Amy giggled as Sonic crossed his arms and narrowed his green eyes down at his little buddy, "Geez Tails, first my food, now my money?" he shook his fist in the air, "Doesn't people ask to BORROW things anymore?"
"Like you did to my Tornado 2? Hm?" Tails tapped his foot.
"We'll uhh…Fine I guess were both kinda even with each other…"
Amy quickly hugged them both, "You guys are so silly! Hey I was wondering if you guys wanna come by my place and watch movies with me!"
Sonic rolled his eyes and grinned, "Are these…romance movies? Cause if they are, I already know your game, Amy Rose.
Amy's cheek reddened at his statement and shoved him, "Oh darn! You know me to well!"
"Yeah we'll.." Sonic started as he turned around the opposite way of Amy's apartment direction and walked, "Sorry but I don't think we could. Me and Tails gotta head over to the workshop and-"
"We'd LOVE to watch movies with you! ^^" Tails interrupted
Sonic face faulted.
Amy's eyes brightened with joy as she jumped up and down, " YAY! We'll what are we waiting for let's get going!"
And with that said Tails grabbed his backpack and joined the less than thrilled Sonic, and cheerful Amy on the way to her cozy apartments a few blocks away.
When they reached her apartment door Amy reached into her pocket on the side of her red dress and dug it out. Sonic waited impatiently for her to find her house key on her key chain and finally couldn't stand to wait anymore.
"Damn Amy, just take all day with those keys why don't ya."
Amyturned her head and glared at Sonic, "We'll sorry Mr. Impatient. I'm trying to find it as fast as I can!"
"We'll hurry up!"
As Sonic and Amy argued Tails was steadily munching on a chocolate donut and gazing at the beautiful wallpaper on the hallway. Suddenly, his cerulean eyes caught the sight of something small and shadow-like zooming out from under Amy's apartment door and down the long hallway. It faded when it went around the corner. He blinked and looked over to the two hedgehogs, "Did you guys see that?"
"See what?" Sonic responded
Tails pointed down the hallway, "There was this shadow thing and-"
"FOUND THE KEY!" Amy said cheerfully as she slipped the key through the lock and twisted it till she heard a click sound. The rattling sound of the keys echoed down the hallway.
"About time! Let's go in already!" Sonic sighed
The pink female turned the knob and opened the door to her apartment and…
Sorry I took so long with this chapter. The AC broke and I can't think when it's scorching hot x.x (It STILL is broken right now) I'll be working on chapter 4 on my dad's lab top in the living room since it's the only place that's cool due the fans and stuff =/ So enjoy what I have so far!
Chapter 3: Twice the Darkness
"…THREE!" The orange fox yelled loudly as he winded up his tails and slid his backpack on.
Sonic's ears perked up promptly from the shout behind him." Huh? Hey, what are you…-?"
But before he got the opportunity to turn completely around, Amy had quickly wrapped her arms around Sonic's neck firmly and gently placed her chin on his broad shoulder. She smiled sweetly as her giggles tickled his ear lightly causing his tan cheeks to turn a soft shade of red.
Good thing Sonic was facing the other way because Tails would've never let him live that down.
Tails had promptly made it inside the Pastry Shop with some money he "borrowed" from Sonic a while ago even though in the back of his mind was telling him he should've asked first. But, he thought he'd get Sonic back for taking his Tornado2 for a "test" drive and literally demolished it. (Geez, everyone is stealing stuff XP) The wonderful aroma of freshly prepared pastries filled the whole shop and made Tails' mouth water.
He gazed at all the beautifully decorated cakes and all the other scrumptious desserts. As he was caught in awe and slight hunger he finally managed to find the words to express his mood, "Woah…I think I'm in heaven…"
"It's even better the second time you come here!"
Tails' attention was brought upon two hedgehogs a couple feet away outside the shop. He walked up to the side of the glass window and took a little peak to see what's happened so far between his blue hero, Sonic, and close friend, Amy that he had abandoned temporarily. The sun's faint heat warmed the glass and a generous amount of sunshine shone lightly through the window making the curious fox's eyes glow a light blue and his fur glisten with a radiance of golden orange.
His cerulean eyes focused on a cobalt hedgehog and a slightly smaller pink one. Amy still had her arms tightly wrapped around Sonic's neck who was squirming around trying to get free of his rosy tormentor.
Tails laughed, "Aw, now that's a Kodak moment. Man, I should've packed my digital camera!" He shrugged," Oh well maybe next time…" Tails said as he casted one more glance back in Sonic and Amy's direction. His eyes widen slightly as a thought flashed in his mind.
"Holy crap! Did my eyes deceive me? Did I just see Sonic blush?"
It took Sonic a few moments to find his balance as he was pulled backwards by a pink hedgehog. He immediately recognized who the mysterious figure was from her innocent giggles and sweet scent of strawberries from her perfume. He felt Amy's cheek pressed to his nuzzling it softly.
The pink hedgehog whispered silently in his ear, "Long time no see, huh?"
Sonic broke free from her grasp and turned around to face her youthful face and bright green eyes. He looked around for his two-tailed backstabber and brushed Amy's question to the side. Man, Sonic was gonna kick Tails' ass when he got a hold of him.
"Why did he run off and leave me with HER." He thought.
Sonic soon gave up and lowered his gaze to the slightly shorter pink hedgehog. He tried to scare her off by putting up a bad temper.
" Eh, mind warning me before you pull a stunt like that? Geez, I nearly had a heart attack!" Sonic then narrowed his eyes at her and crossed his arms.
Amy reached for his hand and held it tight even though he tried to pull it free from her grip. She smiled warmly and giggled ignoring his bad mood, "Aw, if I did that then it wouldn't be exciting!" A teasing look settled on her face as she lightly nudged the blue hedgehog in the ribs, "Besiiiides, since when was Sonic the Hedgehog surprised? I thought you were always aware of things."
Sonic closed his eyes and grinned sheepishly, failing to keep the grudge. He managed to pull his hand loose of her grip and folded his arms behind his head, "Man, it's so hard to stay mad at this girl" He thought to himself.
"We'll Miss Rose, I wasn't really expecting to see you. " He shoved her lightly, " You keep popping up out of nowhere! Why don't you go find yourself something to do besides stalk me?"

Amy giggled as Sonic crossed his arms and narrowed his green eyes down at his little buddy, "Geez Tails, first my food, now my money?" he shook his fist in the air, "Doesn't people ask to BORROW things anymore?"
"Like you did to my Tornado 2? Hm?" Tails tapped his foot.

Sorry I took so long with this chapter. The AC broke and I can't think when it's scorching hot x.x (It STILL is broken right now) I'll be working on chapter 4 on my dad's lab top in the living room since it's the only place that's cool due the fans and stuff =/ So enjoy what I have so far!
