Chapter 13: Passion
Tails moved on to attack the sharks. Sonic couldn't get Amy off his mind.
"Amy, please be alright." On top of his own inner turmoil, Sonic couldn't get a second of rest from the incoming onslaught. Their numbers were too many. Sonic ran only to have a wall of explosions blast right in front of him. Behind him came a flock of the vultures aiming for a kamikaze strike. Sonic couldn't see. He heard another close blast, though of a different type. Once he opened his eyes he saw Knuckles in front of him and the vultures blown in pieces.
"Can't leave you alone, can I?" Knuckles stood firm, smashing anything that came his way. Sonic was getting increasingly worried.
"I have to get to her." He said to himself. Sonic tried getting to Tails. He knew the Tornado 2 could get him across the ocean. Bombs bursting all around wouldn't let Sonic reach Tails. He tried going around but he ran into another pack of the t-rexes. Just then, a t-rex was sent flying, colliding with the others and destroying them in domino effect. Sonic looked left, Rouge was there, her leg still in the air from the kick. The four fought their way to each other. They met back to back, doing what they could to hold off the overwhelming force.
"Guys! I have to get to Amy," Sonic shout above the roaring bombs and screaming missiles.
"I persuaded the President to let me keep this." Rouge said as she pulled out a Chaos Emerald.
"I had these stored away in the Tornado 2." Tail took out two Chaos Emeralds from below his dashboard.
"I think you'll need these to go with them." Knuckles brought out the four Chaos Emeralds he was carrying. Sonic was pleasantly shocked at the situation. A barrage of missiles and bombs coming from all sides approached them rapidly.
The seven Chaos Emeralds surrounded Sonic. In a flash of light Sonic's blue tone changed into a glowing gold. His eyes were now an intense red. The explosives hit. A cloud of smoke covered the area. The heroes completely out of sight.
As the smoke cleared, Sonic was seen floating in the air. His friends were completely unharmed. An invisible field covered them all.
"Sonic, you'd better go find Amy," said Rouge.
"We'll take care of things here," Tails said strongly. Sonic looked at all of them with thanks.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go!" Knuckles said firmly. Sonic smiled and blasted off.
Sonic rushed past the water until the carrier was in sight. He flew quickly until he saw Amy. He stopped, seeing her in a pool of her own blood. Sonic was kneeling at her side in a flash.
"Amy." Sonic was horrified at the scene. Amy turned her head towards him. Sonic quickly was holding her in his arms. His breathing became fast. "Amy, what happened?" Amy blinked her eyes.
"I guess...I was wrong." Amy spoke in the softest voice. Sonic held her close, being stained with her blood. Amy closed her eyes. Sonic drew her closer, and then he heard the most terrifying sound: Amy's last breath. He began with a whimper, holding Amy close to his chest. No heartbeat on her. A tear rolled down his cheek, landing on Amy's face.
"Amy...I'm sorry." His whimper changed to an intense sobbing. Tears covered his face. Sonic had never known such a feeling of despair. "I can't...lose you." He held her head next to his.
Back on shore, things weren't getting better. The Tornado 2 had taken heavy damage. Knuckles was about to take one too many hits. Rouge couldn't fly from the sheer exhaustion of the intense battle.
On the carrier, Robotnik was already in another Hover Egg. He was retreating to his hidden base, leaving the robots to finish their tasks. The carrier itself, armed with several powerful weapons, was on autopilot for the coast.
Sonic roared into the sky out of despair. The carrier shook. He fell back to Amy. His tears washed the blood from her face. Sonic was shining brighter than before. He had lost all hope. Tails, Knuckles, and Rouge were surrounded, having no place to take refuge.
Sonic stopped his sobbing instantly when he heard an unfamiliar sound. He backed away and looked at Amy. She was gasping for her first breath. Her eyes opened. He looked at her in astonishment. There wasn't a single bruise on her. Every injury was like it was never there. Only the trails of blood could denounce that a wound had ever existed. Amy looked into Sonic's eyes. She smiled. All of a sudden, Sonic's tears of sorrow became tears of joy. He picked her up, floating in the air again. Amy rested her head on his chest, holding onto him. She drifted into a quiet sleep, as if simply tired. The sound of her heartbeat was the most beautiful sound he could imagine at the moment. She rested calmly in his arms. Sonic flew higher, looking down on the carrier. A golden sphere surrounded them both. While Amy still slept, Sonic crashed though the hull of the carrier, emerging on the other end, both of them untouched.
The others had backed themselves up almost into submission when all of a sudden every machine began to power down. Without the carrier's onboard computer, the elaborate attack could not be orchestrated. The three watched in wonder as the sharks sunk back into the water, the vultures fell out of the sky, and the t-rexes stopped dead in their tracks.
People all around started cheering as Sonic flew above them, Amy in his arms. Sonic flew all the way to Amy's block. The cheers of the people were clearly heard despite the distance. Sonic landed in front of her building entrance. As his feet touched the ground, the gold glow dissipated, returning him to his natural blue. Amy still slept in his arms. He walked her gently all the way to her apartment. He struggled a little to get the door open without letting her go, but he managed. Soon enough, Sonic lay Amy down on her bed. She looked so peaceful. Sonic sat at her bedside as she rested.
