Disclaimer: Sonic isn't mine!!!!! _
Kita: alright, thanks for reviewing, by the way, I'm using Microsoft word, for those of you who wonder why my chapters seem so stretched out. Well, I'm using .html files to use certain things, but I dunno any other way of trying to shorten the distance between the spacing. Any help would be of use, too… Oh well…
I was never a good humorist with writing. I try, but I utterly fail sometimes. The only thing I'm good at with humoring is through doing little cartoons. My teachers and friends at school think I'm funnier with drawing humorous things than speaking/writing out humor. Ah well. ~_~ I feel a whoooooole lot special…
Blizzard: Aw… don't be so down in the dumps! You're doing great, just don't pay attention to stuff like that. At least the reviewer was nice enough to leave a good review at the end.
(a/n: I'd really like good feedback. I'm thinking of putting action earlier, but then again… * Shrugs *)

"Aw man, isn't there anything good on? I mean, seriously, I found myself watching more channels than this back then! Seriously." The whining voice of Blizzard rang throughout the house. The black and blue female hedgehog was sitting down comfortably on the couch, wielding the remote control to Amy's television set.
"I have cable, sheesh. You don't need to really complain, you know. The service told me there should be about over two-hundred channels," Sighed Amy, who had retreated back to her room, once again. Blizzard had absently-minded said that she should go put on something more casual instead of the black-red look. Almost too much like her older brother. Blizzard did apologize about that, after receiving a huge 'I'm going to freaking murder you'-glare from Shadow after he completely dried off a few hours ago.
Amy sat on her bed, and looked through more clothing she had bought, but not worn yet. Amy began to ponder if she really should stop acting so childish… because it wasn't getting her anywhere. Of course, for example… she always got herself into all kinds of trouble by being a childish little spoiled brat, being stubborn, and always annoying the heck out of Sonic with her constant fussing, and pestering…
"Should I really be acting like this? Sonic really doesn't seem to want to want me around very much. And I'm concerned… why should I still consider him to be my friend?"
She finally plucked out a lavender-looking shirt, sleeveless, too. It looked real nice with the black outlines, so she slipped it over her head, after having taken off her other apparel. She finally tugged the shirt completely over herself, until she got the same jean shorts back on. Maybe this was better, since she felt a little demoralized about Blizzard's comment… but she really didn't mean to. Amy brushed the shirt off, and hopped off her bed to go and put back her folded items back into her drawers.
Putting each item into their compartments, she shuts them, and heads back out into the living room.
"Aww…. Look at you! You look fabulous!"
That comment came straight from Blizzard's mouth. And Amy was about to turn two shades of red on her cheeks when Shadow looked at her, after his sister made a nicer comment than before. Shadow was not one for words, and he didn't say a thing. He turned his gaze away to look outside, which was lightly sprinkling in the air. The downpour ceased a while ago.
It was so boring in here, and it turned quiet, afterwards. Thinking, Amy looked at her purse, and gave that more thought. The idea just popped into her head like a light bulb turning on the very instant a light switch is flipped. Amy gave a smile, before she began to say, " Hey! I got an idea… why don't we go and take a walk? Maybe that a way, we can't be that bored… maybe we can even go to a Mall."
"Sounds good to me." Blizzard chimed in. She hardly knew what a Mall was, but she betted it sounded cool.
Only a gruff snort was heard from Shadow.
Meanwhile…"YOU IMBECILE! YOU MORON! YOU WORHTLESS PIECE OF SCRAP METAL AND FLESH!! I said bring the emerald back, not in pieces!!!"
Inferno flinched, having his ears being blasted by the sound of Robotnik's voice. Inferno did manage to bring back most of the pieces, but the others were with that blasted Echidna. None in doubt that he would go for help, or attempt to track down Inferno's whereabouts. This was not good.
"L-l-lord robotnik, it was not my fault! Ze Echidna attacked me, caused my arm to go 'aywire, and ze Emerald was shattered by my fist by pure accident! I never intended on breaking ze jewel!" Inferno pleaded Eggman to forgive him.
Sneering, Eggman curled his fingers around a smaller jewel. There were two of them, and he held his latest prize, glistening with an eerie aqua bluish hue.
"At least I am gathering more of the Chaos Emeralds. Soon, I'll have my third one once I head off to the new fort at the eastern coast of the United States. Oh how easy that will be… you are lucky I'm being lenient with you, you poor excuse of a moron."
All Inferno did was bow, and walked away hastily, in silence. Metal Sonic watched from a darker corner, minding his own business as a robot, since it was his sole duty to serve Eggman. He wouldn't allow the nerve of incompetent morons, such as Inferno, to run around trampling on the name of Robotnik's loyal servers.
"Metal Sonic. Ah, will you do me the favor of having the blue idiot to come to my old base in Egypt? I would like to see the look on his face when his ex-girlfriend gets 'hurt'… as you will kidnap the Pink Hedgehog named Amy… you do remember her, don't you?" Eggman said, lining the tips of his fingers together slowly, and patiently, awaiting Metal Sonic's response.
"Yes… I do remember, sir." Metal coldly scowled. He didn't even have feelings for the little wretched pinkie. What a noisy little bitch she was, always crying when she was in danger. She might as well go back to some ridiculous home she came from, and go and cry there. Those blood-red eyes jerk at his master, then back at the approaching … Katai.
"You won't be alone, I will make sure you won't fail. Katai will be their end, and so will you. If you succeed, I will have no other problems taking over. Now, go. Seek out Amy, and capture her. Katai will do the rest, as he was instructed."
Metal takes one glance to the Red and Silver-striped Echidna, and then dismisses him as if he weren't even there. Solemnly, the robotic Sonic clone walked off, metallic feet clanking on the iron floor. He would kidnap the little pink hedgehog girl again, huh? Well, he would see who gets to hurt her first… because no one stops Metal Sonic when he wanted to hurt the bratty 'child' so much, he would also destroy Sonic and his little 'friends' in the process, and take all the glory… leaving none for the ridiculous Echidna.
Katai merely peered at Metal Sonic. Looks as if he never really wanted him to come along, but Katai must do as he is ordered. He will have to hurt the so-called pink hedgehog, and then attack the blue hedgehog known as Sonic. But he had been warned about a Sonic-look-alike. The Echidna knew little about this look-alike except that it was a 'she', so he would have to be careful. Turning to exit, he left, with a smirk on his face, indicating he will show those who oppose Dr. Robotnik suffering and pain like they've never experienced before.
Back in the U.S.
"Quit being such a downhill drag all of a sudden, it's just a mall," complained Blizzard, who had to constantly drag Shadow to make him keep up with Amy. Gee whiz, he was such a baby when it came to crowds of normal, everyday people. Now the police he wasn't scared of. Sighing heavily, Blizzard managed to shove him ahead of herself, in order to get Amy to ask him to keep up… or something. She was already starting to get bored with all this walking around, since her older brother was nothing but a dark idiot, but that was when Shadow decides to engage in the old-fashioned sibling-argument/war with their mental ability, with Blizzard constantly firing back hasty, harsh, and unwanted comments.
Amy looked back at the two, and blinked. She always wondered why they seem to contradict each other with just… staring. Made her wonder if they argue through staring wars, or something similar to that. Sighing a bit, she gave up hope on those two, and walked off slowly, with a few people watching the two glaring brother-sister hedgehogs in the middle of the walkway inside a huge mall.
An hour later, Amy comes back with a few things on the upper level of the two story mall… and became shocked to see they are still at it… with a bunch of people crowding them on the ground floor. Amy sweatdropped, and felt a little embarrassed they were still staring at each other as if they were each asking if the other wanted a death warrant, or a beating of some kind. She drew a deep breath into her lungs, but before she could shout something to make them stop, a definite sound of an explosion, followed by a little rumble of the ground confirmed that. Amy almost tripped herself with her tennis shoes, but caught her balance.
That evenly caught both Shadow and Blizzard off-guard, both of them looking around a bit dazed, but still alive and conscious of their surroundings. People began to rush almost the instant they heard the loud boom, almost running both sibling hedgehogs down below.
Amy was scared, again. What caused such a loud boom? She already found out what the first boom she heard was before, and that was a Volcano. Nasty little experience if it weren't for Shadow saving her… but all of a sudden, she felt a tapping of her shoulder. She began to think it was either Shadow or Blizzard, but as she turned around to the owner of the finger, which happened to look razor-sharp with a glistening tone… she gasped in horror… as she knew who that finger belonged to… from a way long ago…
"M-m-m-m-METAL SONIC!! AAAHHHHHHH---!!!!" She gave her loudest scream in fear, before the Metallic hedgehog clamped his hand over her mouth to silence her. Those cold-red eyes stared down on her, and in a coldly tone of voice, he seemingly smirked. "I'm so enthralled you remembered me, Pinkie. Now I'll make your pathetic life a living hell again, after I get away." The bluish robot quickly snared the pink hedgehog in a hold, before he jumped up onto the railing, gaining balance while holding his captive in arm. People shouted, and pointed at Metal Sonic, before a glare erupted from one person only. As if Metal could feel the glare, he searched around for its' source. He came across flashing ruby eyes the moment he knew it was those pair of eyes that belonged to a black and red hedgehog. He couldn't identify who it was, but that hedgehog looked like it was asking 'You're asking for your death, yes?' That same glaring creature began to force his way through the crowd, until jumping became a usable option. There seemed to be jet-like booster rockets at the bottom of his shoes as it used them to reach to this floor, but Metal didn't care. He had the girl to beat… all on his own.
"Put her down, unless you want to be torn and hoisted into the scrap heap, metal head." A demand from that very same hedgehog didn't affect Metal one bit.
"You are not to tell me, Metal Sonic, what to do. I go by my master's orders. Farewell, moron." Metal did a birdie with his free metal hand, and leapt off the railing, into a rushing crowd of humans, who dispersed at his arrival. Then the jet system that allowed Metal to be as fast as Sonic kicked in. He had purposely blown a hole at the exit/entrance of the mall as the robot ran faster and faster, almost to Sonic's maximum speed. Amy wanted to cry aloud, to beg for help, but she was helpless against a robot as Metal Sonic. Tears flew from her eyes, as they passed through the blown wall, followed by a pair of hedgehogs in pursuit.
"Hey you, put her down right now!" That one came from the female hedgehog that looked like Sonic; he even almost mistook her for Sonic if it weren't for her features and discolorations of her quills.
Shadow kept on skating ahead, gritting his teeth as he tried to skate at his maximum speed, and keeping up with the Metal Hedgehog that had taken Amy. He was going to use the Chaos Spear to take down the robot and fucking kill it by tearing it to pieces with his own hands, but he remembers that Amy would get injured in the process, and he never wanted that to ever happen, ever. Continuing the pursuit, he caught a flash out of the corner of his right eye. It was bright enough for Shadow to close his eyes, and shield them with his hands at the glaring flash of light.
"What the…??? I can't see!" Blizzard screeched to a stop the second she was blinded by this sudden light. She, too, shielded her eyes in an attempt to block it out.
"Kuso!"
"Shadow? You can't see either?!"
"I cannot! Where is it coming from?"
Growling, the light seemed to die down the moment they let their hands down. Blinking in confusion, both shadow and Blizzard found that… Metal Sonic was nowhere to be in sight. Shadow fumed angrily, closing his eyes shut for one moment. He… he let that piece of machinery take Amy from him… Snapping his eyes open, he caught the sight of something atop of a rooftop. The shadowy-like figure was shaped like an Echidna, and those hands… or whatever, were shining a little bit… that must have been from him, as now the shadowy-like Echidna vanished within a split second before a stone with a aper almost hit Blizzard right behind Shadow. Shadow screamed out of pure anger, and that was when Blizzard became aware she shouldn't do anything right now… because one false move and he'd let her have it… seriously…
"Shadow, we can still catch those kidnapping bastards. Right now we need to find help, and quick… but first, I want to see what that thing threw at me…" She plucked the rock with the tied paper from the asphalt road, and broke the string to it with a simple twist of a finger beneath it. She took the paper and dropped the rock. Straightening it out, she clearly began to read it, eyes darting back and forth in quick motions, as a sign that she was reading it thoroughly.
"Oh… oh my god… Sh-shadow… That blue robotic fucker says this…" She read the letter aloud.
Dear Idiots,
If you wish to see this 'precious' little pink hedgehog of yours ever again, you will come to the Pyramid Base in Egypt. She will not be harmed in any way, if you value her life, that is.
Metal Sonic
"I'm going to kill it. I'm going to fucking kill it until its' been ground into little pieces of glittering dust…" Hissed Shadow, in a dangerously angry voice, as if he would kill anything in his path that dares to harm someone he wouldn't allow any physical harm to come to. Clenching his fist, he stormed away. Blizzard became a little worried that Shadow would actually kill someone in the process if he kept this anger streak up.
"Brother, I'm going to go find Sonic. I know where they went. Just please stay calm for my sake! We'll get her back!" She said as she backed away, and took off to go enlist the aid of Sonic and Tails. Surely those two wouldn't be too thrilled about this Metal sonic taking Amy, and she was sure those two might know things about the metallic hedgehog. The Echidna-shaped shadowy figure she would have to ponder about later…

Kita: sorry for the delay. I've been sick for the past few days… with migraines. It's a seasonal thing so don't worry about me. Ah well. ^_^
