Uhmm, hi? Hi! Okay, before I start the chapter, I have a qustion (and I will not be flamed for this, right?) Okay, Sonic X got cancelled from 4kidsTV (yeah, I'm a Sonic X fan) Does this mean they're cancelled permanetly, or is it on another channel? If anyone knows, please tell me! I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO SHADOW! Anyway, here's your chapter.

So far, so good. Amy had managed to sneak away undetected. The only problem now was finding the portal again. There was so much space to cover, that it would take hours before she found it. Amy shook her head to snap herself out of it. She would find Sonic's memories, and nothing would stop her.

"Where are you going?" Amy turned around to see Aurum behind her.

"I don't need to tell you," Amy said, hoping to avoid confrontation. She began to walk away, when Aurum grabbed her by the arm.

"I know you're up to something," the gold hedgie said. "There would be no reason for you to be leaving otherwise."

"Just leave me alone!" Amy yelled, managing to wrench her arm out of Aurum's grasp. Amy began to run, the direction didn't matter. Soon, Amy saw a portal ahead. Was that it? Before Aurum could catch up, Amy threw herself inside.

It was not the memory area she ended up in. Aurum had shown her the place earlier. This area served as the "control room" of Sonic's body. It was the part of the brain that controlled his functions and movements. To Amy, it seemed like a giant computer room. Every area of Sonic's mind could adjust to look like something that was understandable. Aurum had explained that everything really looked a lot different, but it was uncomprehensible to most people's mind. Amy hadn't really understood the whole thing too well, but she got the basic idea. In the middle of the room was a gigantic machine, a lot like the computers at Eggman's base, or the kind the GUN military used. If she hit the right buttons, our heroine could kill Sonic in one instant. Of course, she did not want to do that, so she began to walk out.

"Found you," Aurum jumped out of the portal. "Now come on, just come with me."

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Amy yelled, not wanting to be followed by him. Since she didn't have a hammer to defend herslef with, she put up her fists.

"I am not going to hurt you," Aurum said calmly. "I just want to make sure you don't do anything you are not supposed to." Amy let her fists drop a little, but still wasn't going to go with him.

"I would never want to hurt Sonic," Amy replied. "I just needed to know something."

"His memories," Aurum muttered. "That's it, isn't it? You want to know everything about your hero, so you decided you'd go in there."

"Well, yeah," Dang it, he knew! Amy let out a sigh, wondering how he could have figured out.

"I won't tell Sonic," Aurum said. "Come on, let's get out of here before-" Aurum was interrupted as flashes of pain began to erupt in both of thier bodies. Though not as bad as the gunshots, Amy knew it wasn't good.

"What now?" Amy asked after it subsided.

"Take a guess," Aurum said, walking over to the machine in charge of Sonic's motions. he tapped a few keys, which pulled up a screen. It was like watching a camera screen, and the camera was Sonic's eyes.

"He got in a fight with the boys," Amy said. On screen, it showed a fight between Shadow, Gemini, and Knuckles. Sonic seemd to be lying on the ground, from the direction he was facing.

"He probably got knocked to the ground, and hasn't gotten back up due to his wounds," Aurum muttered. "From what I've seen, those three fight a lot."

"Yeah, they do," Amy said. "Well, at least Knuckles and Gemini do." The two just watched the screen, wondering what to do now.

Sonic wasn't hurt too bad, at least in his opinion. Sure, he had a few gunshots in him, but it didn't hurt that bad. He was just winded. Sonic chuckled to himself as he watched Shadow and Gemini attacking Knuckles. Obviously, his comment on "Gerald's freak creations" hadn't really gone too well. Sonic began getting up, looking around to see where the girls were. Unlike the boys, Rouge and Blaze had wasted no time to begin their emerald search.

"Find it yet?" Sonic called out to them.

"Not yet," Blaze answered back. "It's nearby, but we can't pinpoint it's exact location."

"Okay then, I'll be there in a bit," Sonic called back. Sonic stayed there for a few minutes, watching the fight in front of him.

"Take it back!"

"Never!"

"I'll make you eat those words, molebrain!"

"That all you got? Lame!"

At one point, one of Knuckles shovel claws got thrown off towards Sonic. It landed on the ground with a "clunk," as if it had hit something. Sonic moved the claw out of the way to reveal the yellow chaos emerald.

"Hey, I found it!" Sonic exclaimed, trying to pull it out. This got everyone's attention, including the boys.

"My shovel claw!" Knuckles exclaimed, limping over to Sonic. "Here, let me help with that." The echidna slipped on his shovel claw, quickly digging it into the soft earth below. He easily pulled out the emerald, handing it to Sonic.

"You okay Sonic?" Sonic heard Amy ask in his head.

"Fine Amy," Sonic answered her, "and I'm one step closer to getting you out."

I have nothing to say, except REVIEW PLEASE! I didn't think this story would do too well. Hey, people like it, I'm happy. Happy people, happy!
