I do not own Sonic or any other related titles, blah de blah de blah… Big update this time! But this does end what I had written, so reviews may or may not come quicker. Depends on wha my Muse says… Hopefully some music will get me writing! Whoop! As usual, rebuttals at the bottom…
Part III for Files
Memories of Haze and Clarity
-Two weeks later-
Unable to find Amy and Shadow, the trio were forced to leave, encountered by overwhelming odds. In Tails' workshop, the two tailed fox had run a scan on himself on Sonic, revealing a chip in both their heads. Using a machine made by the fox, the chips were removed. We now rejoin the two, deep in conversation.
"What could have happened to them? Do you think they were killed?" Sonic wondered, sitting down, a worried look on his face.
"I don't think so. They're both to valuable to G.U.N. They may still be being held prisoner," Tails answered. The two discussed some more, wondering what to do.
-Five Years Later-
Slowly, and grudgingly, the memories of Shadow and Amy began to fade slightly from everyone's mind. Sure, "eyewitnesses" reported seeing one or the other, or sometimes both now and then, but never any good evidence. Eggman had tried taking over the world, and he was stopped yet again by the blue blur. The only strange thing was that the two Chaos Emeralds the two hedgehogs had held unto seemed to disappear. Not even the other Emeralds could find them.
Sonic, now in his mid twenties was restless. He had tried getting jobs, but nothing seemed to suit his attitude. Eggman attempted world takeovers/kill Sonic plans even less know, and the blue hedgehog was beginning to think the scientist was giving up, perhaps deciding to do good. Sonic laughed at thought, the image of Eggman handing out presents to little kids amused him.
Tails, now in his elder teens, had amazing secured a job at an invention company, and was quickly moving upwards, turning out invention after invention. His fake Chaos Emeralds, tuned down in power and amazingly complex, were quickly becoming the world's power supply. Rumor was that cars running on one would be available within the year, and that mini Emeralds would be coming out soon, replacing things such as batteries in children toys, remotes, and so on. Sonic personally thought it a wonder that Tails hadn't been promoted to at least Vice President in charge yet.
Sonic, still keeping in contact with Tails at least weekly, already knew that the mini Chaos Emeralds were out, as he had a new cell phone run by one. Always on the go, it was great for him, since he would never have to recharge it.
Knuckles, growing more and more restless, began leaving Chaos and Tikal in charge of the Master Emerald quite a bit. He visited the world know and then, and kept usual monthly contact with Sonic and Tails. Knuckles had stopped a quiet takeover plan by Eggman once by himself, with the plan to take the Master Emerald and basically turn off the world. However Knuckles was getting much better in fighting, and the robots stood no chance.
Rouge, also visiting the world, rarely said anything to the trio. She was still attempting to gather precious gems, and had a Chaos Emerald herself. The bat had given up trying to steal the Master Emerald, but Knuckles let her see it now and then, as it always seemed to inspire her.
Cream the Rabbit was becoming better and better at raising Chao, and was rumored to have more then anyone in the world. She always held first place in Chao events, and she kept contact with the others on a regular basis. She had dropped hints that she was breeding Chao for them, to fit their personalities.
-G.U.N. Headquarters-
Shadow and Amy destroyed the practice robot with ease. They landed gracefully on the ground.
"Bravo you two. I believe you're ready for your first, and possibly only mission, should this work," the head of G.U.N. clapped, walking up to the two hedgehogs.
"And what is that?" the older Amy asked. She had gotten taller, and now wore basic jeans and shirt, and had been given Air Shoes. Shadow however, looked basically the same.
"I want you two to hold the President hostage in the President's house, until that is, the world hands over control to G.U.N.," the woman said simply. (So you know, I'm pretending that it's a world nation.)
"Is that all? I expected something harder, after five years of training," Shadow sighed.
"It is going to be hard. Security is very tight. Now if you find yourselves in a bad fix, abandon the plan, and get back here as quickly as possible. Your safety above the mission," the leader said. The hedgehogs nodded. For the first time in five nears, they would be stepping outside.
As soon as they were out, the two took a deep breath of fresh air. They smiled, then they both whispered the words, "Chaos Control."
-Capital City-
Sonic screeched to a stop. Something was going to happen. He looked down at his blue Chaos Emerald. It seemed to move. That meant a Chaos Emerald was nearby. Following the Emerald, he came to the President's house. The Chaos Emerald was telling him to continue.
"Hello Sonic!" a guard by the gate shouted. Sonic walked over to him.
"What brings you around these parts?" another guard asked the hedgehog hero.
"I think there's a Chaos Emerald somewhere in there," Sonic answered the guards.
"Maybe it's the fake one that powers the house and such," One guard suggested.
"No. If that was true, this would be bugging me all the time then," Sonic answered, holding up the blue jewel.
"Hmmm…I suppose we could let Sonic the Hedgehog in," the first guard mused.
"I'll check the list," the guard said, peering over a list showing the names of people given clearance. Sure enough, Sonic was on it. The blue hedgehog stepped through the gate, went through some more clearance, and finally made it in. He followed his Emerald, heading over to a wall. Suddenly it shifted, and he could have sworn he saw a flash of green light.
"We're in trouble," Sonic sighed. He ran over to the guards. With the past experience with Shadow, he did not want to be blamed for whatever was going to happen. He reported it to the guards, then ran to the house, following his Emerald. He entered the house, being let in by a guard. People bustled back and forth.
Continuing the trailing, a scream, then a thud was heard. Sonic ran, throwing open a door. Two hedgehogs stood there, and several guards were down.
"Amy? Shadow?" Sonic asked, wide eyed.
-Invention Corp.-
Tails sighed. He was due to a meeting about the mini fake Chaos Emeralds in fifteen minutes. He sometimes wished he had never gotten this job, and just continued to tinker in his workshop. When that happened though, he looked outside. Cities were starting to be powered on clean energy, the skies were becoming cleaner, and everyone was having more time to spend with their friends and family. Heck, even Robotnik was acting up even less. The two tailed fox gathered up a disk for his presentation, then headed to the conference room. He knew this would sell. Sure, if this got popular, battery factories would be out of the job, but you needed some man power to make these. Perhaps he could convince the board to buy the factories, and have the former employees building the mini Chaos Emeralds.
Before Tails entered the room, he bent down to turn off his cell phone. It rang suddenly. He opened it and saw it was Sonic. Since Sonic knew not to call him then, it must be something important.
"Sonic? What's wrong?" Tails asked.
"Shadow, Amy. I've found them! They're at the President's house! Hurry!" Sonic yelled, he then hang up.
Tails slowly closed the cell phone and placed it in his pocket.
The fox ran into the conference room, and handed the disk to his assistant.
"Something very urgent has just come up! Play this disk for everyone. It's automated so don't worry about anything! I'll get back when I can!" Tails shouted. He then turned and flew out of the room, something he had not down for a long time. He burst out an open window in his office, still flying, and quickly headed for his workshop. The Tornado II might be needed.
-President's house-
Sonic had acted without thinking, pulling out his phone and calling Tails. He placed the phone back, and was surprised as he was suddenly thrown out of the room.
"We're sorry Sonic, but we can't have you interfering," Amy growled. The blue hedgehog got up, looking at the two.
"What are you two doing!" Sonic demanded.
"We're carrying out G.U.N.'s orders," Shadow sighed.
"Why!" Sonic asked. Why would Shadow be with G.U.N.?
"Because if we don't, G.U.N. will kill you, Tails, Cream, Knuckles, everyone we consider a friend," Amy answered. Sonic gaped slightly.
"Then I'll have to take you out," Sonic growled. He held up his Chaos Emerald.
All of a sudden, Amy disappeared, and Sonic was thrown into the wall. His blue Chaos Emerald thudded to the ground. Amy picked it up, and absorbed it into herself.
"My head," Sonic mumbled, getting up.
Amy began to disappear and reappear in different places, not giving off the tell tale flash of light.
"Sonic. I'd suggest you just leave. We don't want to hurt you," Shadow suggested, getting into a fight position, "We've developed a style of attacking that can't be avoided. Do you really want to be the first living guinea pig?"
"Bring it on!" Sonic shouted. Suddenly he was assaulted at all sides, Shadow ran forward at Sonic. Sonic dodged to avoid, but was suddenly back where he was. Every time he tried, he kept reappearing back to the one spot. Shadow curled up into a ball and hit Sonic full on, sending the hedgehog into the wall again. Sonic slumped down, defeated.
Amy reappeared by Shadow.
"We have three Chaos Emeralds now," Amy said. Shadow grinned and nodded.
"Four more," Shadow laughed. They then proceed through the President's house.
-Somewhere outside Capitol City-
Tails was flying the Tornado II for the first time in nearly three years. It may be old but it was still good. The two tailed fox had been meaning to build a new version, but had never found the time. Perhaps he could make a new model later, but for now, his life was to busy. Part of his mind was urging him to get his Emerald Scanner. He flicked it open, increased the power to filter out the fakes all around the world, and saw with surprise. Three Chaos Emeralds, right in the President's house. Either Rouge and Knuckles were there with Sonic, or someone's had returned.
-President's House
Blackness, engulfing him, filling his eyesight, increasing his terror. Sonic twitched in his slumber. Had he been betrayed, did Shadow and Amy move to the other side? These thoughts sped through the unconscious hedgehog's head. He did not know that guards stormed past him, not heeding the blue form. He was not noticed until Tails was finally able to make it on the scene, where he discovered his defeated friend.
-G.U.N. Headquarters.-
The mission was a failure, as G.U.N. underestimated what forces protected the President. The woman in charge was sure Shadow and Amy could have taken care of that problem. Had they still kept their moral? Did the training prove ineffective?
Amy and Shadow walked down the hallways of the headquarters. Both knew what was on the others mind. How would they get the final four Chaos Emeralds?
Their plan was a wild shot, considering both knew very little about the legend behind the Chaos Emeralds. But at the very least they could possibly free themselves with the Emeralds power.
"Maybe we could get out with just three. Have you use all three at the same time," Shadow suggested to Amy. It was something that was going through the pink hedgehog's mind as well.
"I can try," Amy said. Shadow held out his hand and Amy grasped it. She closed her eyes as the Chaos Energy flowed through her, it's power increasing due to her genetic engineering. She saw, in a gasp, both her and Shadow's minds. She dove deeper, first into Shadows, and found a chip implanted in his head. A burst of Chaos Energy took it out. A small falter, and Amy was whisked back to reality. Shadow had let go of Amy, his head was hurting.
"One down," Amy smiled. Shadow gave a sort of small smile, and grabbed Amy's hand again. The hedgehog concentrated, and she saw her mind now. The chip. She came forward, and destroyed. Once more she was brought back to reality, and her own head hurt.
"We'll have to move quickly. I think they'll know when the chips are destroyed," Shadow said. Still grasping hands, they dumped any Chaos Power they had within them, fighting more against the anti-chaos control machine in the G.U.N. facility. The Chaos Energy flickered about the hedgehogs, growing more and more powerful. Finally, they both shouted, "Chaos Control!" and disappeared in a flash of light.
-Capitol City Hospital-
Sonic awoke, finding himself in a white bed with sheets on him, and surrounded by his friends. He was surprised to see a robotic bird there.
"What's the bird for?" he asked before the others could bombard him with questions.
"It's from Eggman. There's a message," Knuckles answered. The robot birds beak opened, and Eggman's voice issued out.
"You be more careful Sonic! You can't be killed until I get you!" the voice of Eggman said. The bird closed it's robotic beak, then flew out the window.
"Nice to know even your most hated enemy cares," Sonic grinned.
"You said something about Shadow and Amy on the phone," Tails said quickly. Sonic sighed.
"They were at the President's house, they said they were working for G.U.N. and that they would kill everyone if they didn't comply with G.U.N.'s rules. They got my Chaos…" Sonic began, but trailed off. Amy and Shadow and just appeared right behind him. As Sonic's eyes turned into dinner plates, Tails was the first one to turn around and look.
"Oi!" Tails shouted, taking a step back.
"Hello," Amy and Shadow said.
"What are you two doing here?" Knuckles demanded.
"For two reasons. One, we're all in danger. Two, we need the Chaos Emeralds," Shadow answered, looking at them.
"Why?" Rouge asked, her bat wings folding over herself.
"So we can get rid of G.U.N. once and for all…" Amy said, a glint in her eyes.
Terrence-R, Ahhhh, yes. Damn that G.U.N… Makes a good enemy besides Robottnik, he's gotten to predictable… Anyhow, thanks for adding this to Fave's!
k0m0d0-342, Hey, you can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Personally this wouldn't be a Sonic/Amy for a few reasons. One, I grew up with the comic and the video games on the computer and one on my old Sega Genesis… This would be Shadow/Amy for a few reasons. One, they've been together for five years now. I don't know about you but with G.U.N. wanting a child from them and hormones…well, you know. Besides, I don't plan on much mushy stuff. Heck, I don't have a plan for any mushy stuff…But hey, I can't see the future…I know the end but how to get there?
Interesting, Glad you liked it. Shadow/Amy thing is explained in the previous rebuttal. Thanks for your compliment on my writing skills. But warn me should I get cocky, k? Cause it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way…yah…hehe…
Things to look out for in the future parts. -WARNING! Non of these may come in later parts, but the first two are most likely going to happen in Part IV, which I shall go write…
Explosions
Super Amy
Perfect Chaos
Robottnik…on the good side!
Fish, and lots of it…
