And with that last word, Omega lashed out at Sonic with his claws, missing the hedgehog, but only just. Another slash, and another miss… Omega was getting frustrated. Suddenly, something became subtly, somehow, wrong… Omega could sense something trying to sneak up on him. Movement, behind him! He dodged to the left, and the downward stroke of a huge mallet missed him by inches. Spinning, he saw that the hammer was being swung by another hedgehog… a pink one, in a pink dress. This was getting ridiculous… "Amy, what are you doing? Get out of here; it's dangerous! Omega…" Sonic started.
Amy shook her head. "This cat's trying to kill you, Sonic! I can't just sit idle as he attacks you!"
"Brave hedgehog. Stupid, but brave. I don't have a quarrel with you, whoever you are. It's this brutal dictator I'm trying to destroy!" Omega shouted, and grabbed the chain at his side, wrapping it around his hand so that the sharp edges wouldn't cut him.
He swung the chain at Sonic, in a brutal swing that not even he could dodge… but Amy leapt into its path. Omega tried to pull his swing so as to not hurt her, but was too late. The tip of the chain sliced across her belly, making a large, probably non-fatal gash. Amy screamed in pain, falling back into Sonic's arms. Omega used the remaining momentum of the swing to wrap the rest of the chain around his hand. He walked over to Amy as Sonic fussed over her, trying to stop the bleeding. "Stop that…" he told Sonic, holding out his robotic arm.
A compartment opened, revealing a small syringe, a needle and thread, and a roll of gauze. Omega handed the gauze to Sonic as he readied the needle and thread and syringe. "Hold this," he said, as he handed it to him, and injected the anesthetic into Amy's wound.
Sonic, totally confused, held Amy as she screamed again. Omega sighed, and began to sew her up with the needle and thread. As he finished, both his hands were bloody. "Gauze," he said to Sonic, holding out his hand for it.
Sonic handed it to him, looking quite concerned for Amy. As Omega wrapped her wound with the clean gauze, Sonic asked, "Why?"
Omega paused. "Why what?"
"Why help her? I thought you wanted to destroy me…"
"I do. But I didn't want anyone else to get hurt."
"And why do you want to destroy me?"
"Dr. Robotnik tells me you're a brutal dictator… I'm starting to doubt his words, however…"
"Robotnik? I knew it! That madman sent you after me…"
"He told me you almost killed me, and that he saved me by changing me to this shape…"
"What? How long ago was this?" Sonic asked as Omega finished up the wrappings.
"Around 3 months ago."
"That would be around the time that Eggman nearly finished me off. He would have, if it weren't for… wait a minute! You're him, aren't you? The cat that bit Eggman and saved me!"
"I… wouldn't know… I don't remember…" Omega said, severely shaken.
If what Sonic said was true… Robotnik had changed him because one small black and white cat had ruined his plans… "Dr. Robotnik… what is he like? Why does he want to kill you, really?" he asked.
Sonic stood up. "Later. It's not safe here… catch up when you can; I'll be at the big mansion, this way," he said, taking Amy in his arms and running off.
