A week had past and Sonic could only think of so many reasons why Amy wasn't answering her phone, Maria had called her every day only to get the answering machine, and even he called once or twice, he had gone down to her apartment to find she was gone to. Sonic paced around, and Tails came in, "I did it! I found a way for Maria to recover in a month! It's simple I hacked into the hospital and it turns out they extend the time so they can get more money but they don't teach the things right a way so the patient isn't really recovering until the third year where they actually start giving you the real treatment." Sonic grinned, "Good to hear. So have you been able to contact her?" Sonic shook his head, he walked into another room, Shadow was sitting next to Maria teaching her how to play Monopoly, the TV was flickering softly, Maria looked up at Sonic, "Hey Sonic is Amy okay?" "Yea, you should get to bed, Tails is going to help you walk again tomorrow." Maria smiled, "Okay!" She wheeled out of the room and they heard her go into her little bed that Sonic and Shadow had constructed, Sonic jumped and sat beside Shadow, who looked at him, "Sonic she isn't stupid she'll find out something's wrong." "Until then we have to let her believe we know everything we cant let her get upset, Amy would kill us." "I could kill her, she hasn't been around all week!" Suddenly the TV flashed red, Sonic eyed it, "Look a public announcement better turn it off mute, it probably is Eggman." The scene went to police cars and helicopters all around the museum. Sonic looked at the picture, "No Eggman not important." The TV hummed, "Two of the Greatest Masterminds have been captured stealing the Chaos Emerald, we now go to Chuck." "Thank you Sally we see here the two convicts, Rouge the Bat-" Shadow smirked, "Figures." "And her accomplice Amy Rose the pink hedgehog."

Sonic sat there shock and anger written all over his face, Shadow looked over at Sonic not sure whether to comfort him, or shrug. Tails who had walked in blinked a couple of times. They all sat in silence, Shadow saw Sonic get up, "Where are you going?" "To bail Amy and Rouge out of jail before Maria gets up, it would break her heart if she knew Amy was in jail." "Why?" Tails asked, "Maria looks up to you and Shadow what harm will it do to Maria?" "She says she wants to be just like Amy. Also because they are so close they are like this." Sonic put a magnet together, and Tails nodded, "How much do you think it will cost?" Shadow sighed, "A lot more then I, you or the Faker could provide. Since they have attempted to steal a Chaos Emerald, they have stolen many valuables, and not to mention precious artifacts." "Maybe we could sneak Amy and Rouge out of jail?" Tails suggested and Sonic looked at him questionably, "Never mind, I have been watching way to many movies." Sonic nodded, and felt sick, 'How could Amy do something that stupid and why?'

Amy grumbled Rouge's bad temper had rubbed off of her, 'How dare they actually think this will hold me! How dare they actually think that they will punish me? They are all idiots everything deserves to be mine and only mine. I want the money, the jewels and the glamour, no one else. And all I have to do is wait for Rouge to give me the signal and we both will be out.' She paced around, she looked over at Rouge who was doing her nails, "Hey Bat Girl what are you doing?" Amy snarled, "I'm waiting, you should be to Thorn." "Shut it." "Mad you were caught?" "ME! It was you bitch! You had to do your stupid routine." Rouge grinned, "Oh so young but so like me, you have learned a lot." "Stuff it." Rouge smirked, "It's almost time Amy then we will make the deal of the century."

Maria woke up, she felt two tears slide down her face, she climbed into a wheel chair, and wheeled outside quietly closing the door behind her, she watched the sun rise, and two more tears fell, 'Where are you Amy I miss you...'

Sirens were wailing, and men were scrambling everywhere they couldn't find Rouge or Amy. They were in pandemonium, and Rouge and Amy watched the sight from a mountain top, smirking, "Like they could keep us in there right Amy?" "Hell ya," Amy said, "So what's the deal of the century?" "Our contractor will be here soon to pick us up all we have to do is wait."

Maria fooled around with her locket, it shone in the morning light, 'Amy and Crystal and I made it together using some of that mineral stuff, and the pretty rocks, two pink and one white. I was white cuz I didn't like pink that much, still don't. Where is Amy-Chan? Amy! I'm worried very very much.' The sun was starting to rise, Maria heard Sonic falling out of his bed and she giggled, "Sonic, doesn't have much hand eye coordination does he?" she said to herself, "No he doesn't, neither do you."

Amy tapped her foot impatiently, "Rouge where the hell is this guy?" Rouge grinned, "He's a big contractor. Very big, keep your patience, otherwise I'll kill you." Amy shut up she knew Rouge would kill her, soon she heard a helicopter and it came down and a guy in a over coat came signaling to Rouge who nodded, "Let's go Aim's." Amy silently followed hating this guy even more and more as she went on the helicopter, Rouge sat down comfortably and smiled at the guy, he took off his coat revealing himself to be a robot.

Maria gave a shriek, she hadn't noticed anyone was behind her, she looked and saw Eggman, fear went in her eyes, "SONIC! SHADOW! TAILS!" she screamed, knowing she couldn't run, she wheeled back, "SHADOW!" she screamed louder, Eggman smirked and kicked her off her wheel chair, making her fall to the ground tears were coming down her face, "THAT HURT!" "Stop yelling you stupid child!" "LEAVE ME ALONE THEN!" Maria screamed, 'Where are Sonic and Shadow?' Eggman smirked "They can't hear you." "Why-why?" "Because I created a new type of gas, making the adversary-" "What's adversary mean?" "Your enemy now as I was saying this new gas enables me-" "What does enable mean?" "I am able to make my adversary fall into a deep sleep." "Isn't that like sleeping gas?" "NO!" "Then what is it?" Maria asked, 'Shadow, Sonic, Amy someone please help me!' Soon there was a blue blur, "Sonic!" she shouted joyfully, "Not quite you remember Metal Sonic?" Maria nodded, "DO you want to see him again?" Maria shook her head violently. "Too bad, Metal Sonic escort Maria to the base." "LEGGO!" Maria cried, but he had her, she struggled but couldn't get out, tears were sliding down her face, "Leggo! Leggo! Leggo!" "No." Was all Metal Sonic answered. Maria hit him with a rock he flinched but didn't let go, she got another rock and put it in the middle he tried to get it out, then he dropped her down trying to get the rock out, he activated his blast but nothing came, he tried again then he stomped hard on the ground causing the vibrations from his feet go to his stomach and the rock popped out unfortunately so did the beam it headed towards Maria, she screamed, "HELP!" she fell off the cliff, she knew she couldn't swim or land on her feet, she yelled out again, she was about to hit the water when she felt a hand grab her by the wrist then she looked up, 'No! No! No!' she squirmed, "Leggo!" "Stop saying that I'll drop you and I know you cant swim so you'd drown and die." Maria gulped, and shut up, she stayed still and Eggman dropped her on the ground, and blasted her wheel chair, it went into flame, Metal Sonic picked Maria up and ran off, Eggman folloing him.

Amy gulped, 'A robot? Does this mean Rouge and I will be working for...no Rouge wouldn't go that low...actually for money yes she would. Oh well hopefully the pay checks big.' "We are about to land, location Mystic Ruins." Amy felt a thump and got up as did Rouge and follow the Robot out.

Sonic woke up, "Huh? What happened?" Shadow got up shaking his head, "I just remember seeing that capsule, where's Tails?" "Over here! The capsule contained sleeping gas." "How do you know that?" "I woke up faster." "Oh." Sonic said nodding, Shadow however did not like the way he talked about it, 'It's as if he knew before hand, there's no way he could have woken up before us his body would have inhaled more and he's smaller he should have woken up last.' Sonic looked around, "Where's Maria?" Tail's face faulted, "I do not know." Sonic's eyes widened, "What do you mean you don't know! You were up before us why didn't you check on her?" Sonic shook him and Shadow heard little clangs, Sonic took his hands off Tails, "Dude you are cold, are you running a fever?" "I do not know." Sonic looked at him curiously, "Tails are you okay?" "I do not know." He stuttered a bit, and Shadow raised his eyes brow, "Tails what's my name?" "I do not know." "What's Sonic's name?" "I do not know." "What's that planes name?" "I do not know." Tails stuttered more and more for each question Sonic widened his eyes and Shadow threw Tails and threw him through the wall, "SHADOW YOU IDIOT TAILS IS PROBABLY HURT NOW!" "YOU IDIOT THAT ISNT TAILS! LOOK!" Sonic looked and his eyes widened, Tail's body was decapitated, his arms were on either side of him and his head was rolling around he saw the circuitry, Sonic looked out even more and saw something, "What's that behind the fake Tails?" Shadow stiffened, "Oh god." Shadow and Sonic ran over to see Maria's destroyed wheel chair, Shadow picked up the small pieces of what where left, "Maria no, not again..." Sonic looked at the Fake Tails and growled, "We can probably use the frequency to track Eggman down." Shadow nodded, "Or to save us time faker, we can just follow those footprints of your counterpart." Sonic nodded, "That works to."
