-Last time, in chapter 9-

"Hey, do you know where Amy went to?" Hya asked. "I haven't seen her around for a while..."

"YES!" Sonic yelled, and everyone glared at him. "Sorry..."

"HEY! THERE SHE IS!" Tails yelled, pointing towards the bridge. A huge black hole appeared out of nowhere, and Evil Tikal was dragging Amy and herself into it.

"AMY!" Sonic yelled, as he ran dramatically towards them. Just as they were about to disappear, Sonic managed to grab onto Amy leg, and all three were gone.

"Great. Just great. First we find a stupid old capsule out here, then this bitch gets in the way, then Evil Tikal shows up, and now Amy and Sonic are gone," Leilani recalled.

"Wasn't the bitch who got in the way and Evil Tikal the same person? You said her twice," Rouge pointed out.

"No, the bitch I was talking about was you."

"Oh," Rouge said as she just stood there. Then she suddenly glared and aimed a kick at Leilani. "YOU ASSHOLE!"

The white hedgehog laughed and dodged the kick. She spun around and double-kicked Rouge, and a fight broke out again.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" Knuckles asked, sweatdropping.

"Nah. Let them have their fun," Tails said, as him and the others (which was now only Knuckles and Hyacinth) turned around and left.

-Now, for chapter 10-

"So...." Tails said, walking towards his workshop. "Where do you think they all went to? I mean, don't black holes normally only appear in space?"

"Apparently, not anymore," Hya replied. "Do you think they went to another dimension?"

"Maybe they went to see more hot, evil girls..." Knuckles said, drooling once again. A frying pan slammed him upside the head.

"KNUCKLES, I'M WARNING YOU!" Rouge yelled.

"Knuckles is the male version of a slut. No wonder why you two are going out," Leilani said with a laugh.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP, YOU BITCH?!"

"Nah. Hey, have you ever heard of anger management? I think you could use it."

The moment Leilani had finished her sentence, Rouge had her pinned to the ground and was punching her. Leilani kicked the bat in the stomach and got out from under her grip, then literally kicked her ass. The fight continued on.

Tails sweatdropped, then sighed. "Not again..."

(A/N: If you forgot what happened with Shadow & co., reread chapter 8.)

"Metal... I think we can go now..." Shiaza said as she dried her eyes.

"Are you sure? Alright... too bad we can't use Chaos Control like Shadow can..."

"Well... I have the next best thing..." she replied, snapping her fingers. They appeared in front of the Station Square train station.

"Wow," Metal said. "What the hell was that?"

"Let's just call it my snappy little escape trick," Shiaza replied with a grin.

"Okay... so, what do we do now?" Metal asked.

"I don't know..."

..................... crickets chirp ....................

"So... where do you think Shadow is?" Shiaza asked.

"Hmm... if he's going to kill Amy, then he's probably out looking for her..."

"If I were Amy, where would I go..." Shiaza wondered. "Well duh. That's obvious."

"Where, then?"

"Does 'Welcome to Twinkle Park' ring a bell?" she replied, mocking the ever-annoying voice that announces that every time you walk into the damn place.

The two walked towards Twinkle Park, just as they saw a black figure coming down the elevator. They quickly ran and hid behind the boat landing as Shadow began walking down the sidewalk. He passed them, and they eavesdropped in on a conversation he was having, talking into his communicator watch.

"We have the target," a female voice said from the other end.

"Good," Shadow replied.

"However, we had an interference. An unregistered blue hedgehog also went through the portal with us, and our destination was changed. We are in an unknown area, but we plan to get back to our base immediately. I will contact you once we reach there. What shall we do with the two hedgehogs, sir?"

"Keep Amy locked up. As for the blue rodent... make sure he never escapes. Watch him every second of your life, for he is very tricky to keep captive. I'll deal with him when you reach the base. Shadow out."

Shiaza and Metal looked at each other. This isn't good... Shiaza thought. Shadow... you can't do this! Kill Sonic all you want, but let Amy be. Of course... this means death to yourself... all because of... Eggman! We have to stop him, of all people!

"Metal..." Shiaza said. "We've got to destroy Eggman."

"But it never works! Sonic's always beating the crap out of him, but the fathead always comes back!" Metal explained.

"Well, I guess it's time to change that. It's Eggman's time to pay."

"Well, well, well..." a black echidna said, smirking, as she walked the hall of a cell room. She stopped in front of one with an innocent pink hedgehog held prisoner inside. "I'm guessing that you must be Amy Rose, am I right?"

"What's it to you?" Amy snapped back.

"Don't hate me, Amy. I am merely a, how you would say, delivery service."

"And what exactly does that mean, Evil Tikal?"

"I was forced to bring you here. I'm sorry, but it's time for a rose to die..."

"You're not sorry at all, you bitch! Wait... are you saying that I'm going to be killed?! What did I do?!"

"Calm down, Miss Rose. You have to die. It is Dr. Eggman's orders, and Shadow's duty," Evil Tikal said bluntly.

Amy's eyes widened. "Shadow? Shadow's duty? What do you mean?"

"The point, Amy, is that it is Dr. Eggman's orders for me to get you and for Shadow to kill you. None of us have a choice. What our master says, goes."

"Shadow would never hurt me! He has a heart! And he also has a brain; why is he doing this for Eggass?!"

"Like I said, we all have no choice... leave it at that, Amy... don't interfere any more... I must go check on Sonic now..." Evil Tikal said as she left the room.

"Sonic... Shadow... oh, I'm so confused! If I love Sonic, then why am I feeling something for Shadow, too...?" Amy sighed as she laid down in her cell. "Crap... this can't be happening..."
