Cappy- Well ladies and gentleman, boys and girls of all ages, step right up, don't be shy just step right up for…you guessed it…Chapter 5!!

Ok, well…once again I bring you another lovely chapter of my views and imagination on the Sonic (Sega) universe, a tale of the power of emotions and more to the point, of Love. Yes I know its sappy, but if my story makes one person just feel warm in their heart from reading it, then I've achieved victory and can rest easy knowing I can affect some people like other fics have affected me. However, I do this more to let the demon known as inspiration out of my mind ^_^

Well, as they say, on with the show, here's hoping its another good one!

Once again Disclaimer stuff- I do not own Sonic or anything else, this all belongs to Sega and Sonic Team.

Tails Workshop

Mystic Ruins

A few hours later.

Tails looked longingly over at his creation the Hurricane, it seemed as though he wouldn't get the chance to work on her today as he had planned. Today he would be working on fixing the rogue Eggbot that had saved Amy and Sonic from being blasted, An arduous task by any means, Eggman had reason to call himself a genius though not the worlds greatest one.

Tails sighed as he flipped his safety goggles back over his eyes and began to continue to poke around the inside of the broken bot. It seemed to him as though Gamma had suffered major damage in a battle some years ago, but it seemed to have functioned decently enough when he had showed up at Amy's apartment in the city.

Amy was of course sitting in the workshop waiting anxiously for Tails to finish what he was doing, She wanted to talk more with Gamma to find out what just had happened to him and to thank him for saving both her and Sonics life. Though she knew Sonic would never say thanks to a Eggbot for saving him, Though that didn't surprise her , she thought, Knuckles was hanging around and he didn't want to look weak in front of the echidnas gaze.

Knuckles and Big were still at it outside of the workshop, she could hear the yells of Knuckles as Big messed up one move or another that Knuckles was trying to teach him. She giggled slightly at the thought of seeing Big like a martial artist. Smiling she turned her gaze over to where Sonic lay down.

He was watching TV with his usual bored look when he wasn't running or doing something important. She smiled slightly, despite his objections to having anything to do with one of Eggmans former minions, he was still helping Tails whenever he needed it. She sighed, even now she couldn't tell what was going through Sonics mind, was he doing it for her or what?.

"It doesn't matter…tonight I'm going to find out for sure, I'll ask Sonikku when were both alone and then I'll find out for sure just what he thinks of me!".

Her thoughts didn't finish as a yelled curse came from the garage of the Workshop. Both Amy and Sonic turned quickly to see Tails laying on the floor, small wisps of smoke coming from his slightly singed fur as sparks continued to fly from the inside of Gammas body. Amy and Sonic both ran to Tails who was in the process of sitting up.

"Tails what happened bro?" Sonic asked Tails as Amy helped him sit up, Tails only shook his head and didn't speak for a few seconds as he recovered from the shock he had received.

"I've figured out what is wrong with Gamma, that's what happened Sonic…" Tails stood up, helped once again by Amy and began to brush at his fur.

"Well, can you fix him Tails?" A concerned Amy asked, she looked from the still form of Gamma back to Tails as she spoke. "He isn't working for Eggman anymore, and I'd like to find out more about what happened to him".

Tails did his best to put on a hurt expression on his face. "What!? Of course I can fix him…do my friends have such little faith in my skills?"

Sonic began to laugh at his buddy's face as Amy stuck her tongue out at Tails. "You know what I mean Tails, can you at least tell us what went wrong with him?"

Tails nodded as he went over the hatch in Gammas back and peaked inside once again just to make sure he was correct in his guessing before turning back around to face his friends.

"Well, as I see it, Gamma has lost his main power supply!"

"You mean…one of those little animals that Eggman puts in all his bots?" Amy said a bit sadly, she wanted Gamma back but she didn't want to have to trap some poor animal to use as a power source for him.

"Yes however, given the right tools and parts I think I can create a substitute generator, using one of the fake chaos emerald left over from our adventure last year, it might take a day or two but I really do think I could rig up something!"

"Oh thank you so much Tails!" Amy said as she rushed forward and gave her friend a nice hug, "Do you need any help getting the parts?"

Tails smiled as Amy hugged him. "No no I should be able to get them myself, I'll take the train to Station Square and I'll be back before noon…" Tails turned to go to his bathroom. "Though I need to clean myself up first, you guys are welcome to stay here as long as you like you know"

"And maybe there's a chance I can run into that girl…I bet she lives in Station Square too…I'll ask the parts dealer if he's seen anyone like me…" Tails thought as he headed towards his bathroom for a shower.

Amy watched Tails before he disappeared into his bathroom door, she turned to Sonic who had resumed his lazy position on the couch in front of the TV. "Well Sonic, what should we do till he gets done fixing Gamma?"

Sonic waved his hand as he continued to watch the TV. "Nothing really, I guess we could go search for what was left of Metal Sonic but I'd place bets that Eggman has that metal can again, and since we've no idea where his base is we have to let him make the first move."

Amy sighed and sat down beside Sonic. "I guess you're right Sonic, maybe Gamma will some info on his base? I know Gammas been out for a couple of years but I'm sure he might be able to point us in the right direction!"

Sonic shrugged at her statement. "Perhaps, its not like Eggmans going to attack us again today or anything…"

----------------------------------

Mystic Ruins, Jungle

Doctor Eggmans hidden base

Same time as events above.

"Arise my creation and be borne into the greatest empire that this earth has ever known!"

Doctor Ivo Robotnik Eggman's voice echoed and boomed around in his private research and development lab. It was here that his greatest creations were completed by his hand and his hand only, only the masters touch that he himself could use would make this unmoving hunk of metal take the form of life.

The lights were dim and the air heavy as Eggman waited for his latest and greatest creation to rise up and salute its father and master. His plan to defeat Sonic by using Amy would hinge on being able to harm Amy while both of them battled against his minions. Despite Metal Sonics losses against the original Sonic, he had proved himself to be Eggmans best chance at defeating that damnable hedgehog.

Thus if harming Amy was the key and defeating Sonic, then not even Metal Sonic could do both. No the solution had called for a new variable to be added into the equation. The only thing changed from his original plan was the programming he had installed in his latest creation. The new emotional matrix would make her far more deadly ,if his theory was right, then she would have been before.

Yes it stood to reason that if Metal Sonic stood the best chance of defeating Sonic, then Amy's defeat would be much easier if she faced her own foe. A foe much like her, a foe who eyes even now lit up as it's master commanded it to rise up.

"Mecha Amy, I am you're…father… Doctor Eggman, I've created you for the purpose to help me in completing my empire, to assist me in defeating my age old foes."

The mechanized version of Amy Rose stood to her full height, and its optical lights blinked on and off as its programming ran by its protocols for the very first time. "Father?" was all the pink hued machine said as it fixed its gaze on Eggman.

Eggman smiled as he opened his arms up wide and embraced his creation as a real father would his own daughter. "Yes that is correct, I've created you and you are my daughter, the first robot I've created with the such emotions, you are my latest and finest work Mecha Amy!"

Mecha Amy only stared at the wall past her as she began to processes all the information, instead of just going through procession, her logic circuits consulted the emotional matrix that Eggman had implanted in her, thus she soon uttered the proper response and reaction.

Hugging Eggman back the machine then spoke back. "Yes I understand father, all that you've programmed into me now makes sense, I understand my purpose and like a good daughter I will obey you"

Close to tears Eggman paused to wipe his face before clearing his throat and turning his back to Mecha Amy and began to pace. "Good, I see that you are as much of a success as I have dreamed, you my darling daughter are the cornerstone of my plan to rid myself of my most hated foes…Sonic and Amy Rose!"

At the mention of Amy Rose, Mecha Amy created a sound that could only be described as a mechanical hiss. "Father…I wish to fulfill my purpose right away, please allow me to depart to massacre that worthless sack of flesh and quills!"

Eggmans turned once more to wipe at his eyes before turning back to his creation. "You will in due time my child, but first I must show you what that vile creature did to you're…only brother…Come, follow me"

Obediently, Mecha Amy followed her father and master though the halls of the base, her footsteps echoing in the halls along side those of Eggmans. Her optical sensors now and then trained on lesser machines. "These other creations…they barely have a purpose other then their assigned jobs…father has given me something special and he has given me a mission of great importance, I can ask for nothing more of him…".

Mecha Amy's thoughts ground to a halt as it came upon a most horrifying scene. Normally, a robot of Robotniks would show no emotion to another robots mangled body slowly being rebuilt. A normal android of Eggman's creation would look indifferently at the wires that spilled from Metals Sonics insides. A typical creation of his would care not about the smashed in optical sensors that even still leaked oil onto the floor.

However, Mecha Amy was special, she had been programmed to be special. Her own programming could barely restrain the pure rage and hatred that poured itself into her data stream. She had been programmed to (rightfully) believe that Eggman was like her father and that Metal Sonic was like her brother. The only emotions allowed to her by her matrix were hatred, rage, insane anger and a fierce and unwavering loyalty to her "family".

The sight of seeing her "brother" mangled and twisted, broken and battered and in a sense dead had the effect that Eggman desired. Mecha Amy's eyes flashed a deep and disturbing blood red as her emotional matrix intertwined with her core programming. Eggman stepped back and watched, taking notes on the reactions of his "daughter".

What could only be described as a electronic screech, Mecha Amy swung her fist into the nearby wall. A muffled thump and a few second later, the very ground shook and a immensely huge carter appeared in the titanium wall just as the wall spider webbed with cracks. Mecha Amy's hand looked nearly shattered and was beginning to spark but the robotic creation took no notice of the damage.

"Father…you must allow me to kill Amy Rose! Please father you must allow me to make her death as slow and painful as my brothers must have been!" The mad machine turned it's eyes to its creator and father. The flashing blood red color was gone replaced by a dull fiery red that seemed to belay the total rage that Mecha Amy possessed at the moment.

Eggman grinned evilly, he loved it when his creations begged him for the chance to kill his foes. "Of course my dear daughter, I shall allow to face the wretch that has hurt us on many occasions…be assured however I am rebuilding your brother with the same programming as you…when he is rebuilt you will be an unstoppable team of siblings!"

Mecha Amy nodded at her creators words before looking down to stare at her damaged hand. "Father…?"

"Worry not Mecha…I'll fix you're hand for you…after all…that's what fathers are for". Eggman said before turning to leave. "Return to my lab and I'll have it fixed properly within an hour"

Mecha Amy bowed her head at her fathers words, she was becoming more and more used to the emotions that flowed through her. Though she was not programmed to feel such things, but she thought could sense a twinge of kindness that came from Eggmans words. She knew now that no matter what the cost she would make her fathers dream of a world wide empire come true.

And all it would take would be the death of two hedgehogs…

Eggman continued to walk down the halls of his hidden base, his twisted mind already scheming ahead for the battle that was soon to come. His aim had been more then accomplished, Mecha Amy had successfully integrated with the emotional matrix that he had implanted within her.

Pride swelled within Doctor Robotnik, Mecha Amy had not only proved his theory but she had shown an overwhelming desire to defeat the accursed hedgehogs, he could only dream of the power Metal Sonic would have. The thought caused Eggman to laugh out loud, his dreams were so close to becoming reality once again and he could taste victory. This time no one would stop his plans.

Station Square

Shopping District

45 minutes later

Miles "Tails" Prower walked down the streets of what was called the shopping district of Station Square, he knew which shop he would be visiting. It was a shop built by inventors for inventors and had become Tail's favorite place to be when he wasn't at home or doing something with his friends.

The shops name was Rocco, why it was named that Tails never did figure out but he never really cared that much in the first place. What mattered to him was the proprietors, three brothers who had at one time been considered among the greatest inventors who had ever touched a wrench. Tails had learned a lot over the years from the three siblings and they all had in fact become friends with the brilliant young fox.

Andy, Doug, and James Boyd had run Rocco shop for the past few years and had over said years acquired many loyal costumers as well as strange parts and inventions contributed from their friends who visited the shop. Tail's smiled as he thought of the parts shop and the brothers fondly, as cool and fun as his friends where and as much as he loved them, they just didn't have the same fondness and passion for machines as the brothers did.

Tails shook his head of the thoughts as he finally reached his destination, for some reason Tails had a funny feeling when he put his hand to open the door to the shop, a sense of dread that while not very intense seemed to grab his attention. "Hmmm…It might be nothing but for some reason I've got this strange feeling…"

Tail's eyes widened as he opened the shop door….

---------------------------------

Station Square

Rocco shop rooftop

Same Time as above events.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to those in the shop, something plotted the possible deaths of everyone in the general area, though it only thirsted for one life to be extinguished in particular.

Mecha Amy stood silently and waited, her bio sensors had told her that the bait had finally arrived and that soon she would put into action her plan that would result in Amy Roses bloody and most painful death. The thought of seeing Amy Rose on the ground laying in a pool of her own blood created a small shock of pleasure to run through Mecha's emotional matrix. She hadn't been programmed with such emotions but that didn't worry her at the minute. All she cared about was making sure her plan went unhitched.

Her plan was simple and thus would prove to most likely work, She knew (thanks to her fathers spy cams that still followed Sonic and Amy around) that their freakish friend Tails would be showing up at Rocco's to try and fix the traitors bot, she knew if she could use Tails and the innocent people around the area as bait then Amy would surely come and force Sonic not to make a move to help. Mecha had almost sprung the trap to soon when her sensors informed her that a life form slightly like Tails had entred the shop but ten minutes ago.

"Still" Mecha Amy thought "It doesn't matter, the bomb I planted is still there and Tail's is here now…only a few more minutes until I start the whole thing and you begin you're trip to hell Amy Rose"

Mecha's eyes shone with a bright energy as she prepared herself to do as her father instructed and as she so desperately wanted to do.

Kill Amy Rose.
