Chapter 12: Lack of Discretion
Sonic got outside. He could only expect Amy to be headed to Robotnik's main cruiser. He ran as fast as he could to the coastline.
"I gotta find her." Sonic felt a determination like never before. The ocean was in sight. But as Sonic reached the beach, the unexpected happened. Robotnik launched his offensive assault. Dozens upon dozens of red mechanical sharks surfaced along the coastline, spanning over 6 miles. Sonic stopped in shock. Robotnik's prior attack was nothing more than a distraction to position his primary force along the coast unnoticed. Sonic took his fighting stance but quickly stood down as he watched a swarm of red mechanical vultures come from the seaside. As they passed over his head and circled around, Sonic watched the waves being broken. Packs of red miniature t-rex robots walked off the water and onto the beach.
Some of the sharks beached themselves on shore, others stayed back. Out of their backs, missiles began firing toward the mainland. The vultures flew over, dropping bombs as they past by. The t-rexes had flamethrowers in their mouths. Concrete shattered in every direction. Palm trees were catching fire. Sonic was surrounded, too many to fight off at once. Nevertheless, he sped off, smashing through every single machine he could reach.
"You won't stop me!" A series of bombs and missiles exploded all around him, trapping him in a ring of fire and smoke. A group of the t- rexes surrounded Sonic while the smoke was thick. Sonic rubbed his eyes, coughing from the smoke. The t-rexes positioned themselves to torch the helpless hedgehog. Just then, a series of beams came seemingly out of nowhere, hitting the robots and blasting them into pieces. The smoke cleared. Sonic saw Tails piloting the Tornado 2 in walker mode.
"Need a hand there?" Tails waved at a very relieved Sonic. Sonic smiled in thanks, but he didn't have time to stay still now.
Far offshore, Robotnik's carrier moves swiftly to the ongoing battle. Amy had 'borrowed' a speedboat and was reaching her target. She set the boat to full speed as the carrier was in sight. She set a collision course for the carrier and left the wheel, heading to the front of the boat. She stood firm, the carrier almost within grasp. Right before impact, Amy jumped. She went higher than ever before, clearing the hull and landing right on the deck. The speedboat crashed, bursting into flames.
"Eggman!" Amy brought out her hammer. A fury began taking her over. "Come out and fight me!" Sure enough, the only green platform on the carrier opened up. A large humanoid robot emerged from the inside of the ship. Where one would expect a head to be, rested Robotnik's standard Hover Egg, firmly attached to the main body.
"Well, well... Look who's come back to play." Robotnik laughed from his seat.
"This time I'm finishing it, Eggman." Amy gripped her hammer tighter.
"Looks like I will have my fun after all." Amy growled in anger, preparing her hammer with both hands. "Oh, is that how's it's going to be?"
"I won't let you get away with this Eggman!" Robotnik wiped the smile off his face and grabbed his controls.
"Fine then. Let's dance."
Amy roared as she charged for the robot. Eggman jumped high into the air, firing a single shell at Amy. Amy dashed to the side. The shell passed too close, grazing her skin across her left cheek. Amy turned, staring at Eggman's vile machine. Blood dripped down the side of her face. She charged again. Eggman jumped once more. This time Amy hurled her hammer into the air. It flew with incredible speed, smashing into the chest of the robot and embedding itself there. The impact threw the robot off balance, making it fall flat on its butt. Amy looked only of rage.
"What the...? How did you...?" Eggman grunted in disillusionment as he put the robot back on its feet. "Why, you little!" Amy held out her hand. Another hammer poofed into place.
"I will take you down." Amy couldn't bring herself to yell this time.
Eggman charged, the robot's fists ready. Amy tried jumping out of the way, but this time he was too quick. Amy got punched, sending her flying across the deck. She was only out for a second. While still in the air, Amy regained control, her face a true image of rage. She landed on her feet. Eggman chased after her. Amy held steady her hammer and ran to him as well. The two met. Amy swung her hammer sending Eggman's robot falling back. The robot was flat on its back as Amy jumped over the robot, her hammer ready to hit Eggman himself. The robot arms thrust its arms up. Amy's hammer and the fists collided. The hammer crushed the robot's right hand, but Amy was still flung upwards. Eggman rolled the robot out of the way as Amy fell back down. This landing wasn't a graceful one. Amy got the wind knocked out of her. Eggman was still struggling to get the robot back on its feet. Amy started coughing, trying to get some air. She coughed up some blood. Despite the pain, Amy got up, wiped her mouth, and took her hammer.
"How can you still fight? It makes no sense." Robotnik's voice carried traces of fear now. Amy took an evil grin, calmly walking towards him.
"I'm not done yet." Amy held up her hammer, determined to win this at all cost.
Eggman tried swinging another punch her way. Amy swung her hammer swiftly, sending the arm back violently. The elbow was damaged. The left arm hung limp. Amy spit out another load of blood. Eggman desperately kicked at Amy, crushing her left arm. Amy fell close by. Amy got up slowly, getting a new hammer from her right hand. Her left arm wouldn't move. The robot jumped high, attempting to crush Amy in one hit. She saw it coming. Amy pulled out, dodging Eggman's attack. The robot fell onto one knee. Before he could attack again, Amy lunged upward, swinging her hammer around and over her head, hitting the back of the Hover Egg. The robot was sent crashing into the deck. Sparks flew from the robots neck. Amy landed at the robot's feet. She spun around, breaking off the robot's right leg.
"I won't let you hurt anyone ever again." Her voice was soft. Amy walked over to the head, coughing out more blood. Robotnik was crawling out of the Hover Egg. Amy stood over him, holding up her hammer with her one good arm. Robotnik shivered in fear as he looked into Amy's eyes.
"Please, Amy. Spare me. I promise I won't harm anyone ever again. Just spare me." Amy looked at him. She couldn't do it. She couldn't kill in cold blood. Amy put down her hammer, holding onto it for balance. Immediately, Eggman's face changed to a malicious grin. He quickly pulled out a small handgun and fired at pointblank range. He got up and ran to the nearest escape pod.
Amy's face told only shock and terror. She stood, holding onto her hammer. A sharp vicious pain pierced her. She looked down. Blood ran from her abdomen. Amy fell to the floor, her eyes wide open. Breathing became more and more difficult as she lay helpless. Eggman had already gone below deck. A small pool of blood began forming around Amy as she waited. For what, even she didn't know.
