Love at Second Sight

Amic and Shadow were standing in front of the entrance to the gravity room.

"I thought Metal killed you. Or, at least, that's what my mom told me."

"Alright. Here's the truth since the ARK incident. I am not the Shadow that helped Sonic defeat Metal Overlord. THAT Shadow was merely a clone of me. And it was that Shadow that was killed by Metal. Now, before Metal Overlord, an incident that involved the ARK crashing into Earth occurred. When your father and I used Chaos Control, I was left behind with hardly any energy left. Fortunately, the small amount of energy left in me helped me survive falling onto Earth. After a few days, I regained my conscience, and Chaos Controlled back onto ARK with that small bit of energy still in me. Since then, I lived in the ARK, making inventions and changing the horrible abandoned ARK into a scientific home. I have been watching the Earth from here since then, and even saw the events including Metal. I made this room for me to train in so I could defeat Metal myself. But then my Chaos radar went off. It sensed Chaos Emerald energy in you when you transformed."

"So basically, that was the first time in 18 years that you left this place?"

"Exactly. And now that I know that someone with Chaos energy is alive (you), I can train YOU to defeat Metal. Heck, you could train by yourself and be able to defeat him."

"Isn't the energy that was in you still with you?" Amic asked in confusion.

"No. When I Chaos Controlled back to the ARK, all of the energy disappeared."

"Then how were you able to Chaos Control to Earth to see me!" Now Amic was REALLY confused.

"Well, a friend of your father created a fake emerald when they came to ARK. I simply read a LOT of research on the emeralds and learned how to create one myself." Shadow pulled out a turquoise emerald from out of his pocket.

"Your father was able to use Chaos Control with a fake emerald. So if he could do it, I could too." He put the fake emerald back in his pocket. Shadow pressed a button and the door opened. The room was completely empty.

"What! There's nothing in here! How did you survive in this place without any food or water?"

"I'm the ultimate life form. I don't NEED anything to live." They stepped in. Amic was in awe.

"Are you ready to witness a new method of becoming powerful?"

Amic gave a smirk. "Of course."

And so, Amic training began in the gravity room. Although Shadow didn't need food and water to live, Amic did. So, Amic would take trips to and from Earth for necessities, thanks to Shadow for teaching him the Chaos Control ability. A year went by during this process. And it stayed the same. Until one day...

Silvia was walking out of the mall when suddenly a building blew up. Out of the smoke walked a huge robot the size of the building.

"Destruction must continue until Amic the Hedgehog is found." It talked in a monotone. It then saw Silvia.

"Hedgehog genes have been scanned. Must terminate." It quickly grabbed her and put her to its face. Its eyes started lighting up.

"AHHHH! Let go of me you big jerk! If you weren't holding me so tight I'd kick your rusty metal ass!"

Suddenly, the robot's arm fell off. It landed on the ground. Silvia had hurt her head from the fall.

"OWW! What the heck was that!"

She saw a figure kicking the robot in the chin, and then flinging its other arm off. She saw as the robot got torn up from the mysterious figure. All of its huge remains were lying around her.

"Automatic self-destruction in 5...4...3..."

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Silva screamed. Before she knew it, she was out of the city. She turned around and saw an explosion destroy it all. She then turned back around.

"Thank you..." She then saw Amic's face.

"You're...you're...that boy..."

"Long time no see Silvia."

"Ah, Amic. It's...YOU." She quickly held Amic tight.

"Oh Amic I'm so sorry! I had only left the house for a minute and when I came back it was destroyed and your mom died! I'm SO SORRY!"

Amic was surprised to hear this. "You lived with my mom?"

"Yes, I'm SOOOO sorry!" Silvia was in tears.

"It's o.k. It's not your fault. Besides, I already avenged her death. Well, not entirely, but you know what I mean."

Silvia looked up in a smile. "So... how have you been all these years?"

Amic felt VERY happy to see Silvia smile, even just seeing her. He enjoyed seeing her beautiful blue eyes. He enjoyed HER, and knew he had feelings for her since many years ago.

"It's been great. But I have to go back home to train more. I was about to get groceries from the city, until that robot of course. Well I have to go now."

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

"...Can I come?"

And so Amic took Silvia with him to ARK. Although Shadow didn't like the idea of Silvia living with them, he allowed it.

Amic was looking through the window at Earth, enjoying the wonderful view of it he had. Silvia walked in.

"Hi there."

"What's up?"

"Nothing much. Wow, this is a cool view."

"I know."

"Umm, I wanted to... thank you for saving me. Again."

"No problem. I can't let Metal destroy all of the beautiful hedgehogs on the planet."

Silvia smiled at him. He smiled back. As they looked at each other in silence, they both went in for a kiss.

"Yes!" Amic thought to himself as they kissed.

Shadow was watching from the door. The site disgusted him.

"Eww. How can he get any stronger when he's busy hitting on girls?"

Shadow then hesitated.

"Although, it COULD help bring in reinforcement..."

When he thought of this, Shadow gave a smile.
