Change of Plans

M.K and Doll were destroying ruined building for fun before they went home. As they took to the skies, a light flashed from a distance. Suddenly, Amic appeared and punched M.K in the face. As M.K flew from the pressure, Doll caught him.

"ARGH! I'm getting sick and tired of these sucker hits!" M.K took a look at Amic. Two of Amic's quills were bent up, very similar to Super Sonic's, but two other quills were lying over his shoulders. His eyes were turquoise.

"Who the hell are you!"

"My scanner says that this is Amic…Amic! You're that stupid boy who spat on my face!"

"You killed my mom…now I'm going to kill YOU."

"M.K, why is he glowing? What's with the golden changes!"

"I don't know. I DO know this kid. You're dead! You hear me! We're going to kill you like we killed Espio."

"I am NOT Espio. I am…the effect of your cause! You killed my mom, I become this!"

They all landed on the ground.

"I'll take him first, M.K. I want him dead, so I DON'T plan on holding back!" Doll charged at Amic. With one swing of his arm, Amic smacked Doll into the building next to him.

"I'll kill him Doll! You're not strong enough!" Doll crawled out of the rubble.

M.K started to charge towards Amic, but before he knew it Amic put his fist straight through M.K's stomach. M.K quickly stumbled back in surprise and pain.

"You, you're not a kid… you're a monster!"

Amic quickly flew towards M.K. M.K quickly put his arms up in defence. Amic threw punch after punch, each one tearing M.K's arms apart, bit-by-bit. When Amic finally stopped, M.K's arms were very torn up. Amic went for him again, but when M.K put his arms up again, Amic punched him straight into a building. As M.K flew out from the other end, barely able to move, Amic appeared above him. He quickly moved his arms, and prepared himself for the Confusion Cannon.

"This one's for Mama!" Amic shot the beam, destroying M.K for good. He looked at Doll.

"You know, it's not too late to change. Become good, stop obeying Metal. He's certainly going to turn his back against you sooner or later. It's never too late to do good."

"Shut up!" Doll threw a blast, hitting Amic. When the smoke cleared, Amic was still there, not harmed from it.

"You think you're strong! Well here I come you son-of-a" Amic suddenly appeared behind Doll.

"Son of Sonic!" Amic grabbed Doll's head and pulled it off of Doll's body. He kicked the body into the air.

Amic put energy into Doll's head. "Tell M.K I said hi, when you see him in hell!" Amic threw Doll's head towards his body in the sky. His head and his body blew up.

Amic gave a sigh. "Now for Metal." Amic started to leave.

"No! You can't!" It was the voice in Amic's head.

"I've heard you before! Who are you! What are you doing in my head!"

"You have become VERY powerful. But you are not strong enough to destroy Metal. Trust me, I know."

"Answer me! Who are you!"

"I am a very close friend of your father Sonic AND Espio." Amic became surprised when he heard this.

"I… am Knuckles. Oh, and don't worry. Only YOU can hear me."

And so, an hour went by with Amic talking to Knuckles, who was in his head. This made Amic feel strange, not only because there was someone in his head, but because he felt like he was talking to himself.

"So, all of the events that happened, besides Vector's, Espio's, and my mom's death, was supposed to happen? Even me going super?"

"Hyper, actually. Because of your wielding of Chaos Ring energy, when you transformed, you skipped the super form and went hyper. That's why I wanted Espio to train you. Now you are as strong as your father was when he defeated Metal years ago."

"Well, if this was how strong father was when he defeated Metal a few years before I was born, then why can't I defeat him now! It doesn't make any sense!"

"It's simple, Amic. Metal absorbed the chaos emeralds from your father. Now the emeralds are a part of him. The emeralds AND everyone's data he had, including Chaos himself, give him the power he has. BUT, what he doesn't have is the Master Emerald, and all of its power lies in you, with me. The Master Emerald is the reason why you can transform."

"I understand clearly now…. So, what can we do? Never mind, I see where this is going. More intense training."

"Right. But you need rest. Revert back to your normal form and get some rest."

"Will I still be able to hear you?"

"No. Every time you transform to your hyper form, I am awake. But when in your normal state, I am asleep. Don't worry about me. Just get some sleep."

Amic reverted and lied down in one of the buildings. "Well, I made yet ANOTHER friend. At least this one can't die." He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

When Amic woke up, a shadowy figure stood outside the window. Amic got very concerned about this, thinking it was Metal. When Amic stood outside, a huge light appeared in front of him. When it disappeared, a black hedgehog stood in front of him.

"Who are you?"

The hedgehog took out a radar and aimed it at Amic. "Yeah, you're the one alright. Come with me!"

The hedgehog grabbed Amic's hand.

"Chaos Control!"

Suddenly, they appeared in a very huge and mechanical room.

"Wh, where are we!" Amic saw a window and looked out. But he was VERY shocked to see all of space and Earth outside of the window.

"The space colony ARK. I've reconstructed the entire ARK. There is a VERY reliable gravity room I made to train in. You can train in there until you have defeated Metal Sonic."

"Wait a second… my mom told me about ARK. And she also told me of that batgirl, and of the black hedgehog. So… that must make you!"

"That's right. I'm Shadow the Hedgehog."
