As the Years Go By

Amic's training in endurance had begun. He had a huge struggle with the fleet of bots surrounding him, considering that he hardly had any energy left. As he struggled on his own, he was able to find the willpower he needed to defeat them all.

His next lesson was balance. This required that he travel across the world and climb a mountain. When he got near the top, there was a huge pit with long bamboo poles sticking out from the pit. He had to survive sparring with Vector while on the bamboo poles. As they sparred Amic constantly lost his balance, but as he got used to his environment, his balancing became better and he was able to last for the entire time limit.

Another lesson he went through was sensing energy and life fore. As he continued across the world, he ended up in a very dark cave. Here Amic had to spar with Espio. He had to concentrate for a while to finally sense where and what Espio was doing. Learning to master this technique took quite a while.

A very important lesson he had to learn was how to control his energy. This was a VERY boring lesson to him. Espio, Vector and he had to meditate for long periods of time during the day. Amic fell asleep at times, but while sleeping he saw visions of someone, like he had another being living in his body.

Another important lesson (that he enjoyed for once) was learning how to fly. First he had to learn how to control his energy. Once he mastered that, he learned how to fly. It took him a while to control how and where to fly. Although he learned how to fly, he still had to travel on ground, and fly only when it was REALLY necessary.

The last lesson wasn't really a lesson. It was training. All three of them trained and sparred once their lessons were finished. They continued training up to this day.

It has been six years since Amic first met the Chaotix. Amic was driving in the mountains from Mobitropolis. He and Espio were bringing groceries to the home they lived in. A special broadcast came up on the radio.

"Mobitropolis has become under attack by Metal Lord's androids! They've just destroyed the city, and now they're on a joy ride terrorizing the survivors! This is just-"

"This is terrible, that's what! Darn those two! They're wreaking the entire planet! Everyone living in fear, wondering where they're gonna strike next. That's no way to live! There's got to be a way to stop them!"

"There is a way, Amic. But it requires a LOT more training and strength beyond our limits now."

Amic stopped the car. "Go on home without me."

Espio knew what was going through his mind. "You can't. N-O. I'm not letting you fight them before you're even ready. Amic, don't you DARE…"

Amic jumped out of the car and flew off.

"Damn you!" Espio yelled. "You better come back alive, kid. That's all I have to say," he thought to himself.

Amic reached the city he left not too long ago. The city was in ruins. He walked around and saw a child girl bunny lying on the ground, dead. He held her head up a bit. A tear rolled down his cheek. He then sensed energy heading towards him. It was Vector. He landed on top of a ruined building.

"Vector! Why are they doing this! Killing all of these innocent people!" Vector stared at him in surprise.

Amic, Vector, and Espio were sitting in the living room at their house.

"Amic, obviously you are suffering from the destruction caused by the androids. I think it's time you go a round with them."

"You mean, by myself!"

"Of course not!" Vector said. "I'll be there to fight them while you watch. If I need help you can help me."

"… When do we fight them?"

"Patience, Amic. We have to warm up for them. We'll have a training session tomorrow. You all will fight the androids the day after. Does everyone agree?"

"Agreed!" Amic and Vector said.

The next day, they were on a cliff near the ocean. Amic charged at Espio and threw a punch. He missed. Espio and Vector got on each side of Amic and started punching at him. He blocked with all of his might. When the time was right, Amic threw a kick at Espio, but missed. As he turned around Vector tail whipped in the face, sending him off of the cliff. Espio appeared above him and slammed him into the water. Amic resurfaced.

"cough, cough Espio, help me!"

"O.k! Make circles with your arms and kick real hard! HA HA!"

Amic finally swam to the beach and took a breather.

"Vector, I think he's ready. Make sure he has that Chaos Ring with him when you two go tomorrow."
