Disclaimer: Sega owns Sonic. I own Sega… heh… I wish…
It took an hour or so for Amy to stop crying.
Now her eyes blazed with fire.
With hatred.
Well, perhaps not hatred.
She could never truly hate Sonic.
But she wanted revenge.
Sweet revenge.
Oh, so badly she wanted it.
Something that would make him notice her full potential.
She wasn't just an extra bag of luggage.
She was a living hedgehog.
An affectionate one at that.
Couldn't Sonic just accept that?
She needed someone to love, and love her in return.
It warmed her life up.
Or at least let her ignore the cold.
But she couldn't ignore it any more.
She was cold.
And lonely.
And scared.
Of course, she didn't want to do anything to harm Sonic.
Just make him see that she was a living thing…
Her train of thought crashed when realisation struck her.
How could she use someone if she didn't know who she was using?
She didn't know who this 'idiot' was, or what they looked like.
And how would he react to her?
Harshly?
Openly?
Nicely?
It hurt her head just thinking about it.
Sonic was out of the question, so she'd ask Tails.
He was with Sonic.
As she began to head for the Mystic Ruins, her mind wandered.
It was strange.
Tails had helped Sonic save the world.
Yet Sonic was the one who got all the credit.
Hardly anyone had heard of Tails.
Yet there was probably no one who hadn't heard of Sonic.
It seemed pretty unfair to her.
As much as she still loved Sonic, it was unfair.
She clambered onto the train for Mystic Ruins.
Paradise.
Only one was allowed there.
The angels shunned everyone else.
Stopped them from entering.
Stopped him from seeing them.
Were only angels allowed?
Was he an angel?
Was he dead?
He wasn't sure.
Wasn't sure about anything, really.
He didn't know who he was, or what his purpose was.
Well…
He had to protect the Master.
As the Master was the only thing that could calm the Children of Chaos.
The Children of Chaos…
He hadn't seen them since he had given them back to the hedgehog he had taken them from.
When he had first met people.
What that Dr. had… tricked him.
Tricked him into attacking the sole being who could use the Children of Chaos' full potential.
He had mentally scolded himself many times after that.
And so had the Master.
From that he could conclude that he was no angel.
More like a devil for attacking the hero.
But why was he still here?
He had failed.
Both the hedgehog and the Dr. had challenged him and beaten him.
He was supposed to be invincible.
Guardians didn't have weak spots.
Yet he had many of them.
And the people he had seen exploited them.
What if everyone did?
What if they could do more than electrocution, and fighting?
What if they found his mental weakness?
The thought scared him.
For once in his life, he admitted to himself that he was scared.
"Thanks Tails!" Amy said as she left the workshop in the Mystic Ruins.
"Any time, Amy. Good luck in finding him." Tails stepped onto the porch and waved as Amy departed for her quest.
It was lucky that Tails took photos of Sonic's enemies, so he could warn Sonic if they were ever causing trouble.
For a four year old, Tails was extremely smart.
Amy looked at the photo.
It showed a red echidna, with large gloved hands, with two strange spikes sticking out of them. He had small purple eyes, and he looked quite surprised in the photo.
Amy frowned.
This one photo clashed with her understanding of history.
Echidnas had died 3000 years ago.
All echidnas.
Maybe not… perhaps this one had survived.
But he would have died of old age ages ago…
And he looked very young.
Maybe she could ask him.
But first she had to find the Island in the Sky.
Angel Island.
It sounded so romantic.
Maybe after Sonic realised that he loved her they could enjoy the sunset there.
And one thing that stood in between Amy and goal, was the mysterious echidna…
And she'd use him for all that he's worth.
Then…
Then Sonic would realise what good Amy could be.
Then she'd be warm…
But this time, it would be true warmth, not ignoring the cold.
I hope you liked it. This may not make sense if you read the old version and not the new updated version...
