Chapter IV
Much earlier...
Amy Rose was blowing off some steam by playing the arcade games when she saw something out of the corner of her eye.
"Hello? Tails is that you?" Tails was a notorious prankster having learned it from Sonic. Amy thought it might be him and went to investigate. "Not funny you guys!"
The next thing she knew she was grabbed around her middle by something big. It spoke to her. "Stop struggling my dear, it will all be over soon." it pressed a dampened weird-smelling cloth against her face until it felt her go limp.
*~*~*~*~*
"Excuse me? Ma-am? Uh, Miss?"
Rouge woke with a start in one of the display beds in a local furniture store. Why they decided to stay there was a mystery to her. She heard someone calling her and jumped when she saw about five people standing around her. Mostly store managers and customers.
"What the...?" she asked and then her gaze focused. "ACK!" she was so surprised she fell out of the bed. "I'm sorry! Uh, bye!"
She quickly ran out of the store only to meet up with...
"Rouge!"
The white-furred bat nearly jumped out of her skin. "Tails! What the heck is going on here?" she asked. "Where's Sonic and Knuckles, and Amy?"
They young fox shushed her. "Quiet! He'll hear us!" he hissed. And put on a worried look on his usual cheerful face.
"Who's 'he'?" she asked not sure she wanted to know.
"Ok, come this way..." said Tails and led her behind an alcove near the bathrooms. "Ok this is how it is... Sonic found another letter and..."
*flashback*
"Hey Tails! It's another one." said Sonic upon the discovery of a second letter.
"This is so weird..." said Tails and added enthused. "Let's read it!"
Sonic ripped it open and quickly read it over with a frown he handed it to Tails. "Someone's looking for us..." he said darkly.
Tails read the letter and his eyes widened.
Dear ones known as Sonic or... 'Tails.'
My research has brought me to you unique life-forms. Do not try to resist. You will be found, starting with your little pink one. I wish to know how your species function. Of course there is no need for a messy battle come quietly or your little pink friend is done for...
Signed Dr. Stryker.
"Amy.." Sonic growled. "I have to see if she's ok!" with that he sped off into the mall.
*end flashback*
"How do we know this isn't some kinda joke?" asked Rouge rubbing her eye, she was still a bit tired from her rude awakening earlier.
"Well that depends on if Sonic finds her..." said Tails.
"And who's 'he'?" Rouge asked again.
Tails flipped the letter over. And showed it to Rouge. It read
P.S. Watch out for my 'friends'. You'll recognize them when you see them.
"And you've seen one?" asked Rouge.
"Yeah... one of them is over there... and for some reason the people don't even notice!" said Tails frustratingly.
"Uh.. Tails...? I think it heard you..." said Rouge who voice shaking a little.
Te creature looked like a grotesque version of a human. It moaned and growled when it saw the two. It broke into a run, the two braced themselves when they saw a blue blur speed by and the creature was subdued.
"Sonic!" said Tails. "Did you find her?"
Sonic growled and kicked the air. "No... he must have got her! Damnit! I knew this would happen!" he was so angry when another letter floated by.
Knuckles showed up a bit later with a serious look on his face. "I didn't find her either." he picked up the third letter.
"What's it say?" asked Sonic moodily.
See now look what you've done? One of my children has been hurt. I told you there was no need for rebellion. But if you must know where I've taken the pink one go to the edge of town, you'll find an abandoned house. Do not tell the police unless you want her to live.
"Let's go." said Sonic simply.
"I'm coming too." said Rouge. "I might be useful."
"No." said Knuckles firmly. "You must wait here. he might take you too."
"I can't just sit around and do nothing..." she said defiantly.
"If Amy comes back, you gotta be there for her." he said and stroked her cheek. "Ok? Besides, if anything happened to BOTH of you I'd never forgive myself."
Rouge nodded defeated. "Ok, later."
"So you've seen them?"
"Shadow!" said Sonic surprised to see the black hedgehog. "What's up?"
"I wish to accompany you." Shadow said simply.
"Uh, ok." said Sonic. "You sure?"
"Of course, now let's go."
Tails had brought the Tornado soon after, Knuckles rode in the seat behind Tails and Shadow and Sonic both held onto a wing.
"Ready?" asked Tails pulling down his goggles.
"Ready!" was the response from everyone.
*~*~*~*~*
"Hello? Miss Rose?"
Amy slowly opened her eyes to a surprisingly kind voice. "Mmm...?" she groaned and tried to sit up but she couldn't move her limbs. "Ahh!" she screamed.
"No, it's ok! Well technically in your situation it isn't but be quiet!" the voice commanded.
Amy stopped and focused on who said that. "Who are you?" she asked.
The figure flicked on a light. Amy squeezed her eyes shut at the bright whiteness of the room. When she opened them it seemed like she was being held, in a laboratory, strapped down to a bed.
"Oh, Mindy Mouse. I'd shake your hand but... yeah." she was a white mouse girl wearing a crisp white nurse's uniform with a vibrant red cross on the front.
"Wha... what am I doing here?" asked Amy noticing she wasn't wearing her favorite red dress anymore but a green hospital gown. "Where are my clothes?!"
"The doctor requested you being dressed in that, you are here for his research... your clothes are over there." she pointed to a cubby-hole where Amy's clothes lay neatly folded.
Now Amy was afraid, research? She was even afraid to ask. "What sort of reseach?" she asked timidly.
"Oh, nothing big. We're just going to see if you're pregnant or not." said Mindy who had just pulled a syringe out of her coat.
"What?!" Amy tried to struggle out of the vice-like grip but it was useless. "Is it gonna hurt?" she finally asked.
"Not at all, a tiny prick and it's done!" Nurse Mindy readied the needle and drew some blood from Amy.
She flinched and wished she could rub the place where the needle had pierced it.
"Now what?" she asked.
"Now, it's microscope time." answered Mindy who dropped a little of it on the slide and slip it under the microscope to look at it. "Hmm... hmm!"
"What? What is it?" Amy asked and tried to lean over to see.
"It says... Yes!" answered Mindy happily. "Oh wait 'till the Doctor hears the good news!" with that she untied Amy and ran out of there securely locking the door.
"Oh god..." was all Amy could say. "Oh god! Sonic please come save me!" she yelled into the silence of the lab. Little did she know, they were already on their way.
A/N: There! I put Shadow in, happy? ^-^ Ok, please review!
