I changed the name of this story to 'Never Look Back'. It would certainly attract more readers, giving me more reviews! Also, since it's got more romance than Tragedy, I'm gonna make it romance/tragedy. By the way, I guess Knuckles and Rouge's kid looks like this: Mini Rouge clothing, little bat wings, the rest looks like a female Knuckles, aged back to 5. (It's been almost one year since Sonic and Amy were married. Everyone's now a year older.) Anyway, on with the Author's note! This is my second shot at a tragedy fic... My first one sucked like a vacuum cleaner. Well, this is it... the chapter... THE chapter... This is the chapter that made this fanfic tragic... Let's shed the tears! Chapter 4: Never Look Back!
Never Look Back
Chapter IV
Never Look Back
The rest of the 9 months went by quick. You could tell now more than ever that Amy was pregnant! It was June. Tomorrow would be their Anniversary. The day their baby was due. For some odd reason, the baby didn't come sooner than the doctors expected. (Which most of the cases end up being, a couple weeks early) It was around 9:30 PM...
"(yawn) Ya know what's weird Amy?"
"What's that?"
"I haven't seen Egghead since we were married."
"Hmm... Come to think of it, I haven't either..."
"I wonder what he's up to..."
"I don't know..."
"...Well, I'm gonna go for a run."
"Isn't it a little late?
"Yeah... But I just have the urge to go somewhere. I'll see ya when I'm back."
"Bye! (sigh) That man, always going on his adventures..." Amy was getting ready for bed. She walked in the hallway, when the living room wall exploded, in the smoke, revealing none other than... "Eggman!"
"Well, hello Amy! I was expecting to see Sonic! Gee, you've certainly put on the pounds, haven't you?"
"I'm pregnant, you moron!"
"Ooh! This makes it better!" Eggman reached out to grab Amy, but she didn't go down without a fight. He destroyed the table, sending splinters everywhere, and knocked over the t.v. He had finally caught her, walking off with her in the Egg Walker. (Tails' final boss on Sonic Adventure)
"Hey! I'm ba-"
Sonic came through the door, finding the living room a disaster! The wall was blown out, pieces strung all over the room. The couch that was against the wall was overturned. The table was crushed, sending splinters everywhere. The t.v. had exploded upon impact of the ground, wires strung across the living room. The entertainment center containing the t.v., was toppled over, covering up most of the dust left by the walls. "Eggman!" He ran out the door in search of Amy and Eggman.
Meanwhile... Eggman had carried Amy all the way to the casino area of Station Square. (Same boss, same area) He had put her down on the ground. "Now all we need to do is wait for your little blue-"
"EGGMAN! YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!"
"Sonic!"
"So, Sonic, I see you and Amy got it on one night!"
"She's my wife, you moron!"
"Ahh, That changes the whole subject!"
"Come here, you!" Eggman made improvements to his machine. He kicked a leg back and swung it forward, hitting Sonic high into the side of a building, falling to the ground, knocking him out.
"SONIC!"
"EGGMAN!" Tails came down the stairs leading to the train station. "Wha? This thing again? I defeated this thing years ago!"
"Yeah, but I upgraded it! Check it!" Eggman did the same with Tails, knocking him through the hotel and into the pool area, hitting a tree and knocking him out. "That was easy. Now for you." Eggman took out a laser pistol, aiming it directly at Amy's head. Sonic woke up, and looked to Eggman, who was aiming a pistol at Amy. (bang) "Amy! NOOOO!" Sonic ran to her, shoving her out of the way, the laser ripping through his stomach.
"SONIC! EGGMAN!"
"Amy!"
Tails woke up. "Sonic? Eggman! Amy!"
Meanwhile...
"Knuckles?"
"Shadow?"
"What's going on?"
"They're probably shooting off fire works."
"Yeah, and Amy's ass the cannon."
"What do you mean?"
"Listen..." Amy's voice could be heard, screaming.
"Heheh. You're probably right!"
Meanwhile... Amy took out her Piko Piko Hammer and beat the living crap out of Eggman. She was literally going to knock his head off his shoulders, if he hadn't escaped. "Sonic!" She dropped her hammer and ran to Sonic's side.
"A-Amy... I l-love you..."
"I love you too Sonic." Amy was trying to hold back the tears. One hand supported his head, while the other covered the wound, staining her glove. Sonic pulled her head down with his left hand, and gave her a passionate kiss, which lasted for minutes, as his other was around the side of her hip.
"SONIC!" Tails screamed as he flew over the crowd. As Tails called his name, Sonic broke the kiss and turned away from Amy, coughing and sputtering up blood, pouring down the side of his muzzle.
"T-Tails..."
"Sonic..." Tails fell to his knees.
"T-Tails... I'll miss ya... (cough cough) buddy. Keep m-m-makin'... those machines of yours, and take care of... Amy for me... will ya?" Sonic turned towards Amy. "Amy... Don't be sad Amy... remember this... 'I'll never look back... I've got no regrets... 'cause time doesn't wait for me... I choose to go my own way...' I love you Amy... Never forget that." This time, Amy pulled Sonic up for a kiss. They kept it for as long as he could, but he grew weaker by the second. He couldn't hold up any longer. He had to break the kiss. "A-Amy..." he choked, as his hands slowly drifted to the ground, his head falling limp in Amy's hand, his emerald green eyes staring blankly into the starry night sky, as Amy's looked over her husband.
"Sonic..."
"..." Amy closed his half-open eyes the rest of the way, and pulled him close to her, putting his head on her shoulder, rocking back and forth.
"Eggman! We'd better go check it out Shadow!"
"Right!" They went through the hotel and to the Casino, being stopped by a large crowd. "I can't see!" Shadow complained. Knuckles glided to a nearby building, and climbed until he saw...
"Oh no..." He jumped down off the building and looked pale towards Shadow.
"What? What happened? Did somebody die?" He joked. Knuckles grabbed him by the neck and tossed him over the crowd. "WAAHH! Oof! OW! WHA- Sonic?" Knuckles glided over the crowd, landing on top of Shadow, shoving his face into the pavement. "Ow..."
"(sniff) Sonic..." Amy was quietly sobbing.
Shadow managed to get out from under Knuckles' foot, eying the crowd. "What are you all looking at! Give us some privacy! Leave, NOW!" Everybody did so, at Shadow's command.
"!" Amy's stomach was hurting, she could feel the baby kicking. "AAAAAHHH!"
"Her baby's coming. I'll take her to the hospital."
"SONIC!" Amy screamed.
"You take care of Sonic and Tails."
"Alright." Shadow ran to a nearby pay phone and called the ambulance, taking Sonic's body away.
"C'mon Tails, were going to the hospital." Shadow dragged Tails along the ground, Tails looking at the pool of blood in front of the Casino.
"Sonic..."
At the hospital...
"You shouldn't have waited so long to take her to the hospital." The doctor stated.
"It was a pain trying to get her here. One of my best friends was her husband and..." his voice trailed off...
"...I heard... I heard all about it..."
"C'mon! We gotta go faster, or else we'll miss the baby!" Shadow yelled, still dragging, Tails as he ran into the hospital.
"Hello sir. What can we do for you?"
"Amy Hedgehog, please."
"Down this hall, last door before the first aisle." The lady pointed to her right (Shadow's left).
"Thanks."
"Mm-hmm." Shadow ran to the room, finding Amy holding the baby.
"... I guess we're too late."
"Not one minute after we got here did she have the baby." Knuckles stated.
"Dang... That's fast..." Shadow took his seat next to Knuckles, tossing Tails into the seat to his right.
"...He looks just like him..." Amy whispered.
"Sonic..." Tails droned.
"...?" Knuckles looked at Tails.
"He's been like that since the casino." Knuckles nodded.
Two days after Sonic's passing... At the funeral...
Amy had the baby in her arm, sleeping, as she walked up to the coffin, putting her hand on Sonic's. He looked like a lifeless doll with all that make-up on, covering up the wounds. (That's what my cousin looked like at her funeral in her coffin. Like a lifeless doll... She died in a car wreck.) She walked back over to Tails, who was silently sobbing. "I still can't believe he's gone..." He choked. Knuckles and Shadow were standing silently in front of the coffin. "I never really cared for the faker, but I never wanted him to die..."
"...He was a good friend."
They stood there until the funeral procession started, then taking their seats.
...Sad huh? The next chapter... Text ya later! And now, it's time to push 'the button.'
