Amy took a small step backwards. With a deep breath she pulled out her hammer once again. She made an attempt to destroy it like the other one by hitting it sideways on the left. She missed by an inch and fell over. Eggman had obviously been well prepared for these battle conditions. She scrambled to her feet quickly as she could. "I will not cry, I will not cry, I will not cry." The rat opened its metallic mouth a let out a puff of smoke infecting the oxygen supply which was already dwindling. Amy wheezed covering her mouth and nose. The air was becoming highly toxic, but for now there was nothing Amy could do about that. The rodent swung its claw and Amy simultaneously swung her hammer. Both collided struggling to push the other away. Amy was rapidly losing strength but she knew what that rat wanted and she was not giving up the ruby emerald without a battle.
Amy then swiftly moved out of the way causing the rat to fall forward. The robotic rodent then whacked the ceiling with its tail causing several large boulders to fall. Amy prepared herself and precisely knocked each one out of the way with her gigantic mallet. Only one managed to knock her down momentarily. Amy took a few seconds to catch her breath. Then, with all the energy she had left she lifted her hammer and slammed it downward into the tunnel floor. The hit sent a powerful fissure right through the mechanical rat and it self destructed upon impact.
Amy's wheezing was now an incessant pattern. When she was finally breathing somewhat normally she noticed a faint glow near the pieces of scrap metal. She approached cautiously, praying that she would not be attacked again. Her prayer must have been answered for lying in the pile of metal junk was a yellow chaos emerald, the final one. When her mind registered what it was her heart wanted to sing. "YAY! Sonic's going to be so relieved that I found it!" Though she didn't have the energy to run she moved as swiftly as possible. When she thought she wasn't too far from where she left Sonic she began to feel light headed. She was nearly out of breath and once again was coughing violently.
Amy felt a sharp pain in her back and wailed in pain. She covered her mouth and whimpered, "No, now Sonic's going to come looking for me. I don't want to think I'm weak anymore." Poor Amy was nearly in sobs. She leaned against the wall taking baby steps. "Come on, just a little further."
Sonic did hear Amy's cries and for the first time he felt helpless to do anything. Sonic glanced at his wounded leg. It was still sore but all the blood had dried. He gripped the wall and pulled himself up. He stumbled a little but as soon as he gained enough balance he moved toward the distressed shouts.
Amy could take no more and sank to the floor (its fun to rhyme). A few seconds later she saw a figure in the distance and realized it was Sonic. At the same time however, Amy's vision was becoming dimmer and dimmer. As her eyes closed she moaned a little, the only thing she could see before passing out was a blue blur.
Will Amy be okay? When will I stop giving you cliffhangers? AHH!
