A/N:
Sorry about the last chapter people. I don't think I saved before I posted it. Sorry! Well I tried (and tried and tried and tried) to open the file on the disk again, but it won't pop up, which really ticked me off to say the least. I don't really remember what I put so I'll just type something under this as the ending. Okay? I'm putting in some of what was posted, I know but…(The disclaimer is on the first chapter if you REALLY want to go and see that…)

ENDING OF 'THE NEW EMERALD'
(Rouge's POV)
I'm freaked out.
No, scratch that. I'm petrified.
I know what Knuckles is seeing in my eyes…
Terror.
"Let's get out of here," I say to him quickly, my voice trembling. He nods slowly, and even though I know he's confused, he leads me out to the parking lot.
I'm still trembling.
"What the heck happened to you in there?" he hissed at me.
"I… I don't know," I whispered back, fighting the pricks of tears at the corners of my eyes.
"Rouge," he says, but in a softer tone than the last.
"I don't know," I repeat, and I feel the cold piercing the water on my cheeks even before I realize that I'm crying. Knuckles bites his lips and sighs. I stare up at him with wide eyes and shake my head slowly. I try to speak, but nothing comes out.
"I'll take you home," Knuckles mutters.
"Th…thanks," I stutter, partly because of the cold. He picks me up and glides quickly to my apartment complex.
When we are finally in my apartment, I am no longer afraid. I feel safe now. And I'm going tell Knuckles all that I remembered about today. Everything.
I just hope he understands it better than I do.

Amy's POV

LOVE KILLS
CHAPTER 3 – ROBOTICIZOR
I slowly flutter my eyelids open. The room ranges in and out of focus, taking on a blurry view. A figure is standing over me.
"Hey hun," a gentle voice says, and the creature kneels next to me. I try and say something, but I can't. "It's okay," the creature tells me, "Just wait a moment. You'll be okay then."
The creature was right. In a minute or so my vision sharpened and my throat cleared up. I looked over to the creature to get a closer view.
The creature was a hot pink hedgehog with a hairdo like mine, only without the headband. She was wearing a white spagetti-strap tank top, ripped and dirty blue jeans, and high-heeled black boots. She had sky blue eyes and was very gifted in the chest area, if you know what I mean. The hedgehog was wearing white gloves too, only they weren't big like mine, they were really thin. (A/N: Think Peach's gloves).
"I'm Sara," the hedgehog said, and extended a hand to me. I took it and she pulled me off of the cement floor.
"I'm Amy," I reply, and then take a look around the surroundings.
We were in a cell. Black bars, rusting, surrounded part of the cell, the rest of the walls were just gray cement like the floor. There were 2 shelve-like things sticking out from two of the walls. I wondered why they would put counters into a place like this, but then realized the metal 'counters' were our beds! There was a door to the right of the large cell, and I guessed it was the bathroom.
"Welcome to Holiday Inn," Sara said sarcastically as she plunked down on one of the beds. I sat down on the other one. "So…" Sara said as she swung her legs back and forth and stared at me intently, "What are you here for?"
"I…" I paused for a second to collect my thoughts, "was kidnapped by one of Eggman's robots."
"Mmm…" Sara said as she pondered on it.
"What about you?" I asked Sara.
"Well…" she paused and took a deep breath, "A lot of the robots, the ones I think you were talking about, came to my city. They kidnapped everyone they could and when they couldn't get anymore," her voice trembled, but she continued, "They killed the rest and destroyed the city."
"That's terrible," Amy whispered.
"Yeah…well," Sara muttered, stood up and crossed her hands over her chest. "That was 5 years ago."
We were quiet for a while, and then I sighed.
"Is there any way out of here?" I finally asked.
Sara turned to me and a little grin played across her face. "You don't mind getting down and dirty?" she asked me, which angered me. I was not a total prissy girl.
"Not when my life depends on it," I retorted. Sara grinned at me and pointed above us. There was a tiny vent 10 feet above my head.
"How?" I asked.
"Go stand on that bed," she said, and I did. "Now, can you lift me up a little?"
"Yeah," I said, and laced my fingers near my knee as a step. Sara placed her feet there and I struggled and lifted my hands to my shoulders. "I can't go any higher," I said to her. She nodded and fixed her gaze to the vent.
"2 seconds," she muttered, and then jumped off my hands. I slipped backward, not expecting the sudden pressure, but she had already leapt off my hands.
Sara reached forward as she flew across the room and grabbed the vent. The sudden weight ripped off the cover and Sara went tumbling to the ground and the cover clattered to on the cement.
"Now how do we get up there?" I asked impatiently.
She considered this. "Here," she muttered and stood directly under the vent and crouched down. I caught her train of thought and placed my feet on either of her shoulders. She balanced my weight, grasped my ankles so I wouldn't fall, and slowly stood up. I was about 5 feet away from the vent.
"Now what?" I shouted down to her.
"Just wait," she murmured, and closed her eyes, seemly concentrating.
There was a loud snapping noise as the roof began to lower.
"WOAH!" I shouted, "How'd you do that?"
The vent was now within my reach.
"Go," she grunted. I nodded and hauled myself into the tube. It cut to the left immediately, so I was level. I reached my hand down to her and she took it. I braced my legs against the metal sides and pulled.
Finally, Sara was in the tube with me. We crawled along for several minutes until she crawled past another vent cover. She slowly ripped it off and caught it before it could slam into the ground. I gasped and looked down at the room.
It was quite large and there was about 50 tubes in it, each filled with green liquid. In each tube there was a hedgehog or echidna. Sara tensed up. There was about 20 eggbots walking through the room, checking things on the computers near each tube. With relief, I noted that those were just regular wimpy eggbots, not like the ones that captured me.
"C'mon!" Sara said finally, and squeezed through the small hole and dropped to the floor below. I stared at her as she landed gracefully, but sighed and pushed myself down. Needless to say, I had a lot less graceful landing than Sara. The eggbots suddenly turned at our presence and started to transform. Into what, we had no clue.
Until the first one transformed into the type of robot that almost put a bullet in Sonic's head. Sara jumped and then got into a fighting stance. I simply trembled.
"BROKEN HEART…" she shouted. A large heart her size appeared in front of her. It was broken into two and black energy beams emitted from them and they appeared to stun the robots. "…HEAL!" The two halves slammed together and a red heart-shaped beam of light destroyed all of the robots in front of her.
"Woohoo!" I cheered, and pulled out my Pico Pico Hammer and bashed the 10 other remaining eggbots. Sara grinned and gave me a high-five, but her smile diminished as she looked at the animals in the tubes.
I gasped and stared at one of them. It was a lavender echidna. Hers arm suddenly started to configure and it became a robotic arm! I heard Sara gasp behind me. I acted quickly. I pulled out my hammer again and slammed it into the tube, shattering the glass. Then I quickly removed the wires attaching her.
"What was that?" Sara asked in a panicky voice.
"A roboticizer," I whispered, staring down at the unconscious echidna. "It turns people and animals into robots."
Sara trembled, but then she composed herself and pulled out a hammer like mine.
"I'll take the right half," she said, and began smashing the tubes and pulling off the wires off of the innocent animals.
"Do you know these people?" I asked as I smashed the tube of a black echidna.
"Yes," Sara replied. "They were the people who were kidnapped in my town." Sara sat down and stared at the unconscious townspeople. I continued smashing my last tube. A black hedgehog tumbled out and I was realived to see that he wasn't roboticized at all yet. That's when I noticed the red streaks on his spikes.
That's when I found Shadow the Hedgehog.
