Chapter 3

Amy rolls out of the way of Silver's oncoming tackle. Silver pulls to a stop and turns around heads for Amy again. Amy jumps and kicks but Silver grabs her leg and swings her around until a tornado forms. Amy's eyes glow pink again.

"AMY FLASH!" Silver stops in suspended animation and so does the tornado. Amy works her way onto Silver's back. When he moves again, his tornado disperses and he tries to reach for his back.

"Stopping time ain't fair but no biggie. I can win regardless, punk!" Amy spins Silver out of control and forces him towards the ground only to have him reverse it into a slam at the last minute.

"Uh!" Silver jumps incredibly high only to hit his head hard on the ceiling.

"Ouch!" Amy flips to her feet and charges up a pink aura around her body. Silver recovers and lands. "C'mon!" Amy, to Silver's surprise, flies to him with a drop kick. Silver, unaffected, back-fists her hard, reeling her backward. "Is that all you got?" Amy recovers quickly and vanishes in a purple flash. Silver looks around and sees no sign of her. "Hiding huh?"

"Nope, above you." Silver easily dodges Amy's kick from above which leaves a footprint on the concrete floor.

"So slow..."

"Storming Heart!" Silver is hit with a barrage of energy hearts at close range, again, he seems unaffected by the attack. Silver spin dashes in place while charging up energy. "STORMING HEART!" Amy unleashes her signature attack again but this time Silver gets pelted with bigger and purple hearts. Silver continues to build up energy while spin dashing. Amy's aura glows wildly. Silver then releases his spin dash at Amy and jumps.

"WIND SLASH!" Silver spins hard and a vertically long gust of wind slashes the middle of Amy's body perfectly.

"AAAAH!" shouts Amy as she falls to her back.

"Hm?" Amy flies up to the ceiling and dashes around the hangar at unnatural speeds then heads towards Silver and starts bashing him with ultra fast punches to his stomach then to his face and finishes off with an uppercut. "Oof!" Silver lands on his back, his right eye damaged badly. Amy breathes in a bit then runs to Silver and grabs him by the collar of his shirt.

"Aww, looks like I damaged your eye; I'm not finished with you yet." Amy hurls Silver into the air and flies to meet up with him and begins pummeling him with ultra fast kicking combo moves and finishes him off with a heel kick that explodes with pink fire, engulfing Silver's body. Silver spins the fire off but still lands hard on the ground and creates a cloud of debris. Amy takes her finger and runs it down the center of her body from her head to her lower stomach along the wound. "This wound isn't as fatal as I thought."

"GALE FIST BLAST!" A gray wind in the shape of a fist clears the debris cloud to reveal Silver in an uppercut pose and rushes at the airborne hedgehog. Amy gasps in shock as the attack hits her and creates a mighty blast of wind that covers the entire hangar. When all the wind dies down Amy is shielding herself from the attack by placing her arms over her face. Her aura fades out then she falls to the ground and lands on one knee. "Oh right. I forgot, no one can beat me at full strength. You're a newbie but I do have to admit, you're pathetically slow but your attacks will prove some use to the Eggman Empire. You're definitely one of us!"

"…ugh…how can I lose…? This is sickening." Amy sits on her behind.

"Welcome aboard. You may not be able to beat me but hey, we aren't enemies, the weak rebels are."

"WHY WOULD I WANT TO FIGHT SOMEONE THAT'S WEAK!" asks Amy furiously.

"Relax. It's 'cause they're more fun to play with."

"Ah!" Amy grin evilly. "Heh, alright."

"Get up, pinky, I'm sure you healed by now." Amy gets to her feet as if she has a new burst of energy.

"So what do we do now?"

"We head off to find the rebels."

"Alright!"

"First, there's something I wanna know."

"What?"

"You fight like you have a reason."

"What?"

"You know, like you have a purpose or something."

"I do, I remember promising someone I'd learn how fight."

"Oh really, who? Is it Eggs?"

"I don't clearly remember his name…I think it was Sonny or Summer…"

FLASH!

Sonic and Amy are in a park, walking.

"Sonny, why don't you at least let me stay with you? Or go with you places?" Amy asks him.

"Listen, you get captured all the time. No one want to spend all their life protecting someone." the hedgehog replied.

"But Summer-"

"Maybe if you learn to fight and become a lot more better with that hammer, then maybe we'll talk."

"But-"

"That's all I'm asking, check ya later!" the hedgehog speeds off leaving a dust trail.

"...but..."

End flashback!

"Or something like that." said Amy.

"Mk." said Silver.

"But then the greatest event of my life happened…as far back as I can remember…"

10 years ago, Station Square Park.

Amy is in the middle of the park, bashing balloons with Eggman's face with her hammer.

"All Sonic wants me to do is learn to fight and then he'll love me and we'll get married for sure!" Amy thinks to herself. She runs around the park, bashing balloons that are on the ground and in trees. After she destroys the last balloon she rests against a tree. "WHEW! I think I did enough for today." Suddenly a mass crowd is fleeing pass her in multitudes. In confusion, she turns to see what's going on and sees massive amounts of robots in the sky. "Whoa! Eggman's up to no good again but I'm sure Sonic will stop him." Upon closer look, the robots are unarmed Egg Robos. They start swooping down and grabbing people indiscriminately. Amy jumps up and takes off running. She watches in fear as robots begin quickly picking up people one by one and flying off. One Egg Robo gains on her rapidly but it's then locked on to and blasted with a missile. Tails flies next to her in his Tornado 2.

"Hop on, Amy, it's dangerous here." he steers the plane near her. Amy jumps on the wing then Tails pulls to the air.

"Tails, what's Eggman up to this time?"

"Looks like he's capturing civilians but I can't figure out what he would want with humans. Even if he plans on using them in his robots, this isn't his MO. There's no time to waste, those Egg Robos are following us." Looking back, Amy spots a whole army of Egg Robos following them. Amy smiles.

"Tails, this is my chance to prove it to Sonic that I can fight!"

"What? That's crazy I can't let you get you caught!"

"If I don't fight, these things will catch me anyway." Egg Robos began closing in on them. "HAAA!" She smashes the head off the robot. "Tails, do you have any idea where Sonic is?"

"He's at the Station Square hotel; that's where we're headed."

"Set me down then."

"What? No!" Amy bashes a few more oncoming Egg Robos.

"Fine, I'll jump."

"At this height!? No way."

"Then set me down, now!" Tails sighs and dives towards the ground.

"I hope you know what you're doing. Be careful, Amy." Amy nods and jumps off the plane. All the Egg Robos begin capturing more people on the ground level. Fighter jets storm onto the scene blasting robots in the air with missiles and machine guns. Amy gets ready to bat any ones coming her way. Three of them head towards her at full speed. Amy swings upward, crashing the first one into the second. The third one dodges the wrecked first two and circles around her.

"Come and get me! HEEYAAA! She does her spinning hammer attack and whacks the robot to a commercial van, breaking all of its body parts and denting the van. More Egg Robos surrounded her in massive numbers. "...no…way." Amy closes her eyes then inhales deeply and opens them again. "I'm doing this for Sonic. Let's do this!" All the Egg Robos charged her at once and the view fades out.

Amy then wakes up later in the evening, still in the street with piles of broken robot parts surrounding her. The wrckage indicates she used a 360-degree attack. She gets up to see the city half deserted, the populated half being police cars speeding around or Egg Robos patrolling the streets and firing at the cars. Amy runs into a nearby building for shelter. "I beat those robots by myself! Ooh, I can't wait 'til I tell Sonic about this!"

"You won't need to." said someone from behind. Amy turns around to see Tommy (T) aiming a police shotgun at her.

"P-put that thing down!"

"Let me touch you to see if you're organic." T pokes Amy's arm with his finger then punches it.

"Ow! Hey!" T lowers the shotgun.

"Sorry. I had to make sure you're not a robot. I'm agent T, I was sent here to investigate Dr. Eggman's activities in Station Square but it's gone too far than anyone could imagine. Don't bother giving me your name, I know you're Amy Rose from downtown."

"So uh, what are you, FBI, governme-?"

"That's classified."

"Oh. So what did you mean when you told me 'I won't need to'?"

"You can't tell Sonic anything because he died a few hours ago. He was killed a few hours ago by a robot that looked very similar to him." Amy gasps with both hands over her mouth.

"No, you're lying!"

"I wish I were. The only thing we can do now is take action ourselves. It seems our president is unreachable for now, we haven't received any news from him." Amy goes on the floor getting ready to cry. "Listen, save the sappy crap for later. We're gonna ahve to still our emotions until this is over. That's how I see it. I lost my sister out there but I won't shed a tear until Eggman is finished." Amy stood looking at the ground. "Whine and weep, it won't change a damn thing."

"I don't believe you." Annoyed, T takes her hand and lead her to a room where police officers, SWAT team members and a couple of people wearing the same suit as T. He cuts on a small television.

"It's been on the news all day. See for yourself, it's not like there's anything else to watch."

"It's been a tragic and devastating day today in Station Square." said the news reporter sadly. He is reporting live in front of the Cyber-Net building. "Our world's well-known hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, has been killed by one of the notorious Dr. Eggman's robots." The screen switches to Metal Sonic, still in his super form, delivering the last blast and the ashes leftover. Amy falls down crying. "Eggman has taken over all of Station Square and no reports from the president are known at this time." The view switches over to the city where jets are battling robots but are getting destroyed quickly in numbers. "The N.W. Air Force offered assistance in the crisis but were overwhelmed by the large number of robots and were forced to retreat. We've received no word on why the N.W. Army and Marines weren't sent in." The view switches back to the reporter. "Viewers are advised to lock themselves in their homes until further instructions are given. Some believe that it's possible that our president has betrayed us but for now we can only hope for the best."

"Wipe your tears, the situation looks grim but I'm sure it's only because we depended on Sonic too much." Amy slowed down on her crying. "Right now we're devising a plan to stop Dr. Eggman but are waiting for our men to get into position." He begins speaking on a radio. "N, how is the situation?"

"It's much worst than I expected. I knew it'll be bad but this is worst than I imagined." said N.

"What's your position?"

"Me and my men are in front of the Cyber-Net building. It's... too eerie in there."

"Where are SWAT teams Bravo and Charlie?"

"They're on the rooftops awaiting back up."

"Alright, we'll make our move now. Over and out." He puts the device away. "Let's go, men." All the others get up and leave.

"It ain't gonna do ya no good just sittin' there." An officer tells Amy. "Come on." He takes her by the hand.

In front of the Cyber Net building.

T and the other members line up outside the door with their weapons ready. T looks around to see SWAT team snipers at a distance on the rooftops and gives them a thumbs-up in acknowledgement.

"We're inside now. We'll move when your men storm in. " whispers N over the radio.

"You won't have to wait long. Over and out." T sits the device down. "Ready men? Blow the door down and throw in the tear gas." T and the other FBI units put on their gas masks since the SWAT teams already were wearing theirs. T kneels to Amy. "Wait out here. Sonic's death won't be in vain and we'll give him the proper memorial but first we have to take out Dr. Eggman. It won't be a pretty scene for you to see so stay here, alright?"

"Yes." Amy replies. T stands up and signals one of the members to continue..

"Stand back everyone!" said the SWAT member as he placed a C-4 on the door. Amy and the rest run from the door as it explodes. "LET'S MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" T and the others storm into the building after the tear gas is thrown and almost immediately after thousands of shots erupted inside. Though Amy kept her distance, she felt bizarrely happy with the event.

"I can't believe I'm hoping someone dies, I never felt like this before so why do I feel like this now? Well, I guess it's better than being scared."

"AARGH! AAAAAH! WHAAA! AH! AAAAAAH!" screams came from inside the building. Water flows from the door, carrying some members of the FBI outside, dead. A sudden tingle flows through Amy's spine; she freezes in fear.

"THIS CAN'T BE, THERE ARE ONLY TWO OF THEM! THEY'RE ONLY HEDGEHOGS!" you hear T cry out. More shots erupt but the painful screams continue.

"PULL OUT! PULL OUT! WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE!" you hear a SWAT member scream. Some men rush out the door but you hear someone cry out "FREEZE BLAST!" and a hard pulse of icy air hits them hard enough to fly into the wall of another building and shatter them. Amy, close to fainting at the sight, only gets to her knees. T manages to escape.

"Amy!" he runs to her. "We have to get out of here! There are two tremendously powered hedgehogs in there. They were expecting us!" More members run out. One tosses a grenade inside but a gust of wind returns it and it explodes on him. WOOOSH! Suddenly, the wall around the entrance door breaks off because of a big tornado. SWAT members and FBI agents are flying helplessly around the tornado. Debris from the wall are caught in the blast. "Let's go!" T reaches for Amy's hand but then WHACK! he's smacked with a chuck of marble and knocked out cold. Amy looks at T but doesn't know how to react. The tornado disperses and all the people in it land hard on the ground and die instantly. Amy remains still. She can feel her heart beating real hard. After several minutes Amy stands up and looks around at the corpses. Out of curiosity, she checks the building but the instant she entered a water tentacle grabs her. Amy is flung directly in front of someone, she looks up to see D.R. aiming his Magnum at her. She quickly cringes.

"Please don't shoot me! P-PLEASE!" she shrieks in fear. D.R. smirks.

"Who's alive outside?" he asks.

"N-no one that I know of."

"Sweet." D.R. puts his gun back in its holster. He turns Amy around so that she's on all fours and her rear is facing him. "You're mine!"

"What are you-AHHHH!"

Back to the present.

Silver is hysterically laughing.

"HAHAHA! D.R. GOT YOU IN THE ASS HUH? AHAHAHAHA!" he cries while laughing.

"I knew I should've left that part out. Shut up Silver." growls Amy.

"So, uh, you still like Sonic?" Silver asked after he finished laughing.

"Oh right, that was his name. Sonic... Nah, I'd kill him for playing with my heart for all those years. Too bad he's dead already."

"No, I can confirm that he's still alive."

"What? Oh!?" She grabs Silver by the collar. "Where is he?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know? He did knock me out ya know!"

"We have to find him! I think I know where!"

"Wait!"

"Heart Warp!" Amy and Silver vanish.

The sewers.

D.R. is walking extremely slowly and creeping around the sewers with an AK-47 with a flashlight attached to the front.

"I can catch all the rebels at once if I sneak up on them, just as long as I don't get seen first. Wait, I'll just deform into water and sneak up on them as they walk. It's a plan too brilliant that I'm surprised that I thought of it!"
