Tickled Pink
Chp 01: Desperation
Night Babylon
Sonic sat in a corner booth, the same place he had been for the past three months. It had been four months since the heroes had escaped the exploding ARK, the site of Endigo and Shine's final battle. They hadn't been seen since, and they were thought to be dead, but that wasn't why the blue hedgehog was moping.
The team had escaped in four separate escape pods. At the time, Sonic had been at the hospital after being attacked by the silver hedgehog. When the others went to the last pod, which had contained Amy, Lock, and Lecko, they found the lizard unconscious. The other two were nowhere to be seen. They had spent over a month trying to find the kidnapped Amy, but they never did.
As if all of this wasn't bad enough, it got worse. Cream, after witnessing Cheese's death, had gone into a deep depression. She didn't even have her best friend around to help. Also, even though they had tried their best, Rouge had already lost too much blood. She had died within the hour that she was brought in. When Shadow found out, he shed the first tears they had ever seen from him.
The only good news was that Eggman and Nack were behind bars. Sonic took a drink of the root beer in front of him. He was still under the legal drinking age, so this was as close as he got. All he could think about was how easy it had been before Gerald and his projects had shown up. Shadow and the Eclipse Cannon; Biolizard and its crash course; Emerl and the Double Egg Blaster; Endigo and Reverse Chaos Control; and last, but not least, Shine and the Chaos Eclipse. All of the death and destruction hadn't happened when it was just Egghead.
Suddenly, he heard a large explosion across the street. He ran outside and found that it had come from the abandoned Egg Shelter. He found the entrance blown open. He ran inside and found a woman in a dark black jumpsuit. She had long black hair that went halfway down her back and wore a pair of sunglasses. In her hand was what appeared to be a shard of the Master Emerald, except it was sapphire.
"What do you think you're doing?" she didn't reply to Sonic's question, but jumped at him. He fell to his knees and head butted her in the stomach. She flew into the wall and her glasses shattered. A rope ladder fell through the roof and she grabbed hold of it.
Sonic gasped as the moonlight shone over her face. Her eyes were unmistakable. It was her. It was Amy Rose.
