Hidden Mystic Ruins Base
Next day.
"Damn that Amy Rose!" Exclaimed a more then slightly angry Eggman, who was looking over the remains of one of his finest creations.
The previous day, Eggmans recovery bots had brought in a non-functioning Metal Sonic, its body battered, its limbs looked as though it had been torn off. Massive oil leaks and power loss had rendered Metal Sonic nothing more then scrap, but this did not deter the worlds foremost scientist in the lest. Metal Sonic could be rebuilt quite easily and in any case it did need a upgrade, as could be seen by its total thrashing by Amy.
"But how?" Mused Eggman all to himself as he began to read the diagnostics of the total damage done to Metal Sonic. "Even as…outdated as Metal Sonic was, she shouldn't have been able to trash it like that!"
Dr. Ivo Robotnik Eggman, greatest genius that the earth had ever seen was for once unable to answer one of his own questions. Nothing pointed to a major malfunction in Metal Sonics system that would allow someone as weak as Amy destroy him like that. Eggman shook his head as he turned in his chair, staring off into space, trying to figure out why and what had happened.
All of a sudden an idea stuck him, he mentally cursed himself for forgetting the one object that could solve this riddle of his. "Computer, show me the recordings from Recordobot2000 has made in the last few hours!"
Eggman watched fascinated as the destruction of Metal Sonic began to play out on the monitors in front of his eyes. The pure hatred and anger Amy had felt stunned even him; he had gravely miscalculated the power that she could wield under extreme duress such as Sonic or perhaps her friends dieing.
"Hmmm, perhaps I've been going about his all wrong, maybe I need to modify my plans a bit. Its apparent that the power of anger and hate shouldn't be underestimated…but how to use this…" Eggman leaned back in his chair as he continued to think over this new variable that had just been introduced into his little plan.
"That's it!" With an evil laugh Robotnik reached over to his main console and began to create a program for one of his newer creations. It was going to be his secret weapon, a modification that would be tested out before he used it on the upgraded and rebuilt Metal Sonic. If this worked out as he thought it would, his new creation and its brother would be twice as deadly.
"Amy Rose you foolish girl, you've just helped me make you and that blue fools demise even easier!" The mad doctor continued to create the complex program even as he laughed and planned the demise of his lifelong rival.
Metal Sonics frame was being rebuilt piece by piece as its counterparts core programming was being changed in just the same way. Slowly the two creations of Eggman would be built to his tastes, tastes that could spell doom for the true blue hero of the world and his friends. The sounds of machines slaving away and the dreams of one man being borne continued thought out the day, echoing into the steamy and deep jungle.

Tails Workshop
Mystic Ruins
One hour after the battle with Metal Sonic~
Miles "Tails" Prower morning wasn't going out just as he had planed it to be. The parts he had gotten from the store the other day had been the right ones and the all the correct sizes; the only problem was the size of the object he was working on.
The Hurricane, a new watercraft that promised to be extremely fast and could convert to a land vehicle much faster then his mech the Cyclone on land and it could convert into a low flying helicopter. The idea of converting from a watercraft to a land vehicle to a helicopter had been in his head for quite awhile and with Eggman seemingly taking a break, Tails decided to complete that idea.
Problem was that Tails, who stood only two foot six inches tall and barely weighed fifty pounds didn't have the strength to lift the frame and engine of his newest creation around like his plans called for. The problem had stumped Tails until he had come up with a good solution, he may not have had the strength or height but a good friend of his did.
His solution had become part of his current problem. Big the cat, who disliked anything modern, continued to fidget and his nervousness was getting to Tails. His intricate calculations and thoughts kept being interrupted by Big who's only wish was to exit the clanking and machine made noise filled workshop.
"Tails? How long are you going to need my help?" Big stated as he looked around for Froggy who seemed to have gotten himself lost somewhere in the workshop.
Tails sighed as he answered Big. "Not much longer Big…I just need you to move something for me and then you can…grab yourself something to eat and wait outside until I need your help again".
Big's ears perked up as he heard the word food. The only thing bigger then the Big himself was his appetite, Big figured he could wait around in this uncomfortable place for a bit longer since his friend Tails was offering a free meal.
Tails gave a smile, satisfied that everything was in complete order for once and prepared to get this show on the road. "Ok Big, you see that big metal frame over there?" Tails pointed to a large boat looking steel frame that lie on the workshop floor where Tails had welded it the pervious week. " I want you to lift it up and hook it onto those chains there!"
Big nodded as he stooped low and grabbed the sides of the frame. Without any great effort Big lifted the frame and slowly and carefully carried it over to the chains that hung from Tails reinforced ceiling. Quickly hooking the chains as Tails directed, Big gave a satisfied grunt as the frame hung securely, suspended in air for Tails to work on.
A loud croak sounded from somewhere in the room, cutting off Tails thanks at the superhuman effort his friend just preformed with ease. Big looked around before setting his gaze on Tails and soon the big cat began to laugh. Tails looked around trying to see what was so funny to Big, another croak that sounded like it came from above caused tails to look up.
"Hey…how did you get up there?" Froggy had somehow perched himself on top of Tail's head without him knowing. The green amphibian seemed to have no reason to want to move either.
The good natured laughing of Big soon got to Tails who, despite the stress so far, couldn't resist joining in. Soon the workshop was filled with laughter of two friends and the excited croaking of Froggy. Tails was the first to stop laughing as he gazed at the frameworks of his newest creation.
"You know Big…if this idea works out like I planned. I'll be able to say I can go anywhere, anyplace, anytime…The hurricane should be able to handle the roughest seas and be able to match speeds with even the fastest car on the road and even fly in the worst turbulence, all without a bit of trouble" Tails eyes continued to stare at his soon to be creation. "Maybe people will realize just how great an inventor I am you know?"
Big nodded slowly at his two-tailed friend. "If anyone can become a better inventor then Doc. Eggman then its you Tails".
Once again Tails reply was cut short at the sound of a loud knocking at the workshop door. Curious as to how it could be, Tails grabbed Froggy and handed him to Big before heading over to his door to answer whomever it was.
"Hold on, give me a minute ok!" Tails mumbled something under his breath as he nearly tripped over a pile of parts he had left out the pervious night. Checking himself to make sure his fur wasn't totally covered in Oil like the last time some one had come over to visit he slowly opened the door.
"Hey Tails, It's been awhile" The unmistakable deep voice of Knuckles called out from the doorway, causing Big's ears to perk up and Froggy to give an inquisitive croak.
The red echidna known as the guardian of the Master Emerald and protector of Angel Island Knuckles, stood in the doorway with a large backpack beside him and a pair of sunglasses on as though he was ready for a day at the beach. His usual serious and no nonsense nature seemed to have vanished since the last time they had meet during the ARK incident.
"Knuckles, what are you doing here?" Tails blinked twice, Knuckles only left the Master Emerald unless the world was in some major danger or the Master Emerald had been broken and he was searching for the shards.
Knuckles gave a grin as he prepared to answer the question he was sure to get from all his other friends. "Well, can I at lest come in and have a seat before I tell you why I'm here?"
Tails moved aside to allow Knuckles into his home and workshop. Knuckles saw Big and nodded towards him. "How you doing Big, long time no see huh?"
Big smiled as he nodded back at the echidna. He had met Knuckles briefly during the Chaos incident a few years back, he had taken an instant likening to the echidna who also seemed to shun anything modern and enjoyed his simple lifestyle. Knuckles on the other hand liked Big because of his immense strength, it had been the first time Knuckles had meet someone stronger then himself.
Placing his bad down by the wall, Knuckles flopped down on Tails's couch before decide ding to explain his reasons for leaving the Master Emerald unguarded. "Tails you remember abroad the Ark how all that energy was released from the seven chaos emeralds when Eggman fired the eclipse cannon and when the Ark changed its course towards earth?"
Tails nodded as he sat down in his favorite chair, Big only sat down on the floor with Froggy beside him. Tails and Sonic and even Amy had told him all about the battle that went on above him in space. "Yeah I remember Knuckles, the energy that was released from all the use of the chaos emeralds must have been beyond calculation!"
"Right, and some of that energy had to have remained unused, it went somewhere but wherever it went, it seemed to have brought back both Tikal and Chaos." Knuckles leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes as he continued. "Both of them are as alive as can be, and they both showed up at Angel Island about two months ago. They decided that I could use a little break from guarding the Master Emerald and so here I am!"
Tails nodded slowly, trying to take all that information in, Chaos and Tikal had been presumed gone forever after Chaos's fight with Super Sonic. Tikal had only been a spirit trapped inside the Master Emerald along with Chaos. Seeing as how the seven chaos emeralds and the Master Emerald were so closely linked it made sense that they could have had the power to bring back both Tikal and Chaos.
"Also, no need to worry about what happened to the chaos emeralds either" Knuckles reached over and reached around in his bag for a few seconds before producing the green chaos emerald. "Tikal and Chaos both showed up with all seven of them and decided to give them to me, I think you should hold on to a few Tails… you know for that science stuff you do."
About this time Big spoke up. "So how long are you going to be staying down on earth Knuckles?"
Knuckles shrugged, this was to be his first real vacation from Angel Island and the burden of the constant guarding of the Master Emerald. Tikal had urged him to take as much time as he wished, she had said she would be more then happy to take up her old role as guardian while Knuckles tried to relax with what few friends he did have.
The sound of the Train coming in from Station Square cut though their conversation for a few moments before the sound faded away to nothing as the train stopped itself. The three friends turned themselves back to the conversation but it had barely begun when another knocking came from the door.
Big got up and went to answer the door while Knuckles and Tails continued their conversation, Big had begun to left out of the conversation anyway. As he slowly opened the door, something blue and something very fast had already appeared beside Tails, who used to Sonics speed didn't even blink when the blue blur appeared right in front of him.
"Hey Tails, Hey Big, Hey Knuckles…. Wait Knuckles?" Sonic turned around to see the red echidna waving at him grinning as though he had totally forgotten that he wasn't guarding the master emerald. "What are you doing here?".
Tails sighed as he shook his head. "It's a long and kinda short story at the same time Sonic, can we ask what your in such a rush for?"
"Oh right almost forgot, Tails can the Tornado carry heavy loads?" Sonic tapped his foot impatiently, all he needed now was the police seeing all the destruction and the unmoving Eggbot and throwing Amy in jail or something.
"Yes it can, why do you need the Tornado, why not ask Big to help?" Tails didn't understand the need to bring the Tornado out just to pick up something.
"Look bro I need to get this thing fast before it creates to much attention, if Amy gets arrested I'll never hear the end of it!" Sonic stated a bit crossly, he knew the teasing that was going to come when Knuckles and Tails found out he had stayed the night at Amy's.
"Why…oh never mind, just give me thirty minutes Sonic and the Tornado will be ready" Tails sighed once more, it seemed as though he never would get even get started on the Hurricane today.

Station Square
Outside Amy Rose's apartment~
The confused look on Amy's face didn't take long to turn into worry; she had finally cleaned all the oil out of her fur and spikes and had changed into another of her dresses. She had come back out onto the street to check to see if anyone had tried messing with the remains of Metal Sonic or with the broken Gamma.
She never expected Metal Sonic to have vanished without a trace, the thought that he might somehow still be working despite the damage she did and the blast from Gamma that had blown its head to bits. She looked around quickly to make sure the mechanical monstrosity wasn't just about to leap out at her.
"Oh Sonikku…hurry back…" Amy felt nervous and a little alone without Sonic, once again even though he had done it for her; he had run off leavening her alone once again.
Amy turned to look at the robot that had saved them both from being scattered hedgehog bits on the street. She knew this robot was different then the last time they had meet, she couldn't put her finger on it but for some reason he seemed so much less cold. He had surprised her when he had threatened Sonic, thinking that he was harming her.
Her thoughts turned back to the blue hedgehog who seemed to have changed as well. She knew, without a doubt, that he did care for her. After last night she couldn't help but think that, but how strongly and how far he was willing to let her know she had no idea. She wanted desperately for him to love her as much as she loved him and she was determined to find out one way or another.
She sighed as she looked longingly towards the sky, she had an idea that Sonic would get Tails to come help and she knew that they would bring the Tornado or another one of Tails's inventions. She turned to look at the unmoving form of Gamma, whatever was wrong with him she knew that Tails's could fix it easily.
As Amy walked over to sit by Gamma to make sure no one would try to steal him, though that was a silly idea, who could steal a two-ton robot out in open daylight without being noticed? She couldn't help but giggle at the thought though her giggle soon turned into a sigh.
The days of just simply chasing her Sonikku were fast coming to a close, things could only get complicated between the two now. But she knew everything would have to come out into the open soon. She had to know how he felt about her for real, how far he was willing to go, if he did love her or if he didn't.
She shook her head as she lie back against Gammas still form. No matter what, she wouldn't give up, she had made a promise to herself that he would respect her and by then it would be too late, he would be all hers. She remembered her promise and somehow felt that she was close to fulfilling it. Things she thought once again would never be the same.

Mystic Ruins
Tails Workshop
30 mins later.
"Come on Tails, lets get going already!" Sonic impatiently stood on the tail of the Tornado like always, the sooner they got there the sooner this whole mess with that Eggbot could be cleared up.
"Hold on Sonic!" Tails shouted back. Tails turned back to Knuckles and Big who had been listing to Sonic's tale about what had happened, hardly believing some of it at all.
"Look, Knuckles you and Big can stay here if you want, I might need your help again Big so I really wish you would" Big only nodded at Tails request, this time he really didn't feel like being left out of his friends adventures again and this sounded like the start of yet another one.
Tails turned around to board the Tornado and see this so called good Eggbot for himself, it would be interesting he thought to see how and why it had broken its programming to fight against Doc Eggman. As he climbed into the cockpit and began warming the engine up he continued to mull over the question.
Suddenly he remembered back to that day on the EggCarrier, how Amy had prevented Sonic and a certain robot from fighting each other to the death, That robot had followed Amy's request almost like an order, something had to have happened between the two of them before he and Sonic had crash landed abroad the EggCarrier.
That robot had to been the same one that Sonic had been telling them about, Tails knew for sure that was the truth, though he had never given that certain robot another second thought after the battle with Chaos, but it was the only reasonable explanation why out of the blue a older type robot that seemed to be hostile towards Eggman would find and help Sonic and Amy.
Tails continued his thoughts even as he taxied the plane out onto his homebuilt runway; landing near Amy's street wouldn't be difficult at all. After the EggCarrier landing, Tails had installed jump jets into the jet transformation mode on the Tornado. Using the winch connected to the bottom of the plane and the jump jets, he could pick up both Amy and the bot with ease.
Once airborne Tails quickly set his navigational equipment to Amy's apartment. For some reason the problem nagged at Tails, what could Amy do that would break the programming codes created by Eggman himself. So busy was Tails that he didn't see the incoming air traffic.
"Whoa bro look out!" Yelled Sonic as Tails jerked his head up and the plans yoke in time to avoid a mid air collision with the other plane.
"Who the hell flies like that?" Tails jerked his head around to see who the pilot who seemed to love to play mid air chicken with other pilots could possibly be.
Tails nearly gasped as he got a good look at the other pilot; it was the last thing he had expected to see this far up and away in the clouds. The other daredevil pilot was a female fox who had the same yellowish orange fur as Tails had, she had a sweet smile on her face as she
grinned at Tails. The thing that caught his attention most however was the fact that his grinning antagonist had the same twin tails as himself. As if by chance the other pilot noticed the same thing on Tail's, her cheeky grin was replaced by a look of amazement and curiosity at Tails.
Her plane looked a bit similar to Tails's own plane but less worked over, on the side pained in large orange letters was the name Lily, like his own plane her plane was adorned with a two-tailed symbol. Tails couldn't' believe it, another fox who was just like him, and a pretty girl to boot. His quite morning working on the Hurricane had turned out to have held a lot of surprises.
All of this happened in what seemed the blink of an eye, before Tails knew it her plane was becoming a speck on the horizon. "Wow…who was that girl, she looked as though she had twin tails like me…she was so pretty too…" Tails shook his head as he realized that had been the girl that nearly killed him and Sonic. "She's crazy! No one should fly that recklessly…but still…"
Tails looked back as if he could will the girl back by just by wishing it. Tails had always hoped he might meet another like him one day, someone who understood what it had been like to be considered a freak by others because of this twin tails. He shook his head as he turned back to flying, he had a distinct feeling he would meet this girl again somewhere.
The sun rose in the sky as the day began; people of the world had begun their day and were living their own lives as they always did. This day promised the beginning of something new for a band of heroes who had long since become used to adventure and danger being thrust into their lives. This time, this adventure, promise to be different then the others, something major was brewing with in the group, something new that promised to change the way things had been forever.
Our heroes went on, hoping and wishing that things could remain as calm as they had been in recent times, but the plotting of one genius madman promised them an alternative. Sonic and Amy would learn the truth about themselves and would fight once more with the aid of their friends to save the world from the evil that Doctor. Ivo Robotnik Eggman planned.

Cappy- Well…chapter four, I've got a few things to say at the end of this.
I have to apologize to my angels, (fellow writes sweetlilamyrose, baby Amy, my friend Samantha, my lil sis Naomi Chan and my newest fan Laurie (please tell me I spelled it right)
Because I promised this out a lot sooner but I couldn't keep up with demands.
The idea for the other pilot who shall, (though I'm sure you can take a good guess at her name) remain nameless until I bring her in again. She was drawn by my lil sis at a request and she feel in love with the fox girl. So me being the nice guy I am and a fan of Tails, have taken in the arduous task of creating a character…if you wish to see the picture I'll try to get her put up somewhere and I'll post the link.
Well, until next time sports fans, keep reading ^_^
