I'm finally back! Took me a bit longer than I expected to get back to my computer, since I got back at 11:45 p.m. If the chapter seems weird, blame lack of sleep. -Eye twitches- But anyway, here's the new chapter, and it's hopefully worth the wait!

"Well, look at what we have here," Sonic muttered. In fromt of him was Eggman's Mother Computer, just where Sonic thought it would be. Nearby were the six emeralds, each one in a glass case. At least, it seemed like glass, but it felt harder than steel when Sonic tried to break it.

"I'll bet that you need to use the computer to unlock it," Aurum said to his brother. "Knowing your skills with computers, you're screwed."

"Gee thanks bro," Sonic mumbled. "Hmm, maybe if I broke the computer, it would open. Works for Shadow."

"Need I remind you that that trick only worked once or twice?" Aurum asked. "Wishful thinking isn't going to solve this, Sonic."

"If only Tails was here," Amy said. "He could probably do it."

"Too bad Tails isn't here," Sonic muttered out loud.

"So you think!" Sonic whipped his head around to see the kitsune behind him.

"Isn't that conveniant?" Amy asked. Sonic nodded, looking at his little buddy.

"Perfect timing Tails," Sonic said. "Look, I think that these emeralds are kept in those cases by the computer. Think you can hack in and release them?"

"Sure Sonic," Tails replied. "I actually have an emerald right here. You want it?"

"Of course buddy," Sonic replied. "If I have all the emeralds, I can get Amy back."

"Oh really?" Tails walked up to Sonic. Amy watched through Sonic's eyes, and she was pretty sure she saw something behind Tails back. Something that was a shining grey.

"Sonic, don't-" Amy was cut off as Tails whipped out a metal dagger, spinning around Sonic as he literally stabbed the blue hedgehog's back. Blood began to pour out of the wound, as Sonic fell to the ground. He looked up at the fox looming over him, who was wearing a look of malicious pleasure on his face.

"Tails?" Sonic managed to say, "What did you do that for?"

"Oh, I'm not Tails," The kitsune peeled away a piece of "skin" on his neck, revealing the code CT-004. "I am a simple robot, created by the Supirior Entity, Dr. Eggman."

"Heh, I see that Eggman gave you a sense of humor, but the joke's not funny," Sonic managed to say. Frankly, he didn't know what to do. His back really hurt, but it thankfully was not bleeding much. The robot was in control of the situation, and Sonic's mind was beginning to go fuzzy.

"Don't worry, you won't die," The bot said. "I hit you with a pysche-dagger. It simply renders your mind unable to do anything for a while. Soon, you'll be unconcious, and my master can do whatever he pleases with you." Suddenly, there was a crash, and a nearby window burst open. In came the real Tails, as well as Eno.

"Don't move, robot," Tails stated, "Or you'll get something worse than deactivation."

"Bold words," the robot replied. "Don't worry, you won't have to do that. Initiate self-destruct."

"Crud..." Sonic was unable to see what happened next, for he blacked out.

"Sonic?" You alright?" The eyes of Sonic the Hedgehog fluttered open, but he didn't realize it. Inside his mind, everything had blacked out, but now, Amy had woken up. For now, she was the only thing concious in the hero's head.

"I'm okay Tails," Amy muttered. Thankfully, the words came out in Sonic's voice. Amy realized that now, she was in control. She was in control of Sonic's body. And since he wasn't here to stop her...it was like she was in her own body again. The notion of this lifted Amy's spirits.

"Okay, that's good." Tails gave a hand to help the hero up, which Amy gladly took.

"What happened?" Amy asked. "I remember that robot, and then..."

"Don't worry, we took care of him," the kitsune explained. "It seems that Shadow and the guys followed you out, and they arrived in time to take it out. Also, Eno's trying to hack into the computer. One of the fortunate things about being a cyborg, is the fact that he knows all of Eggman's access codes."

"There's bad news, isn't there?" Tails nodded.

"Well, it seems that the cyborg that attacked you isn't the only one. Remember the Shadow Clones Eggman made a few years ago?"

"During the Black Arm incident?" Amy asked. "I remember." How could she forget?

"Well, now he's made clones of all of us," Tails said. "It seems he's working on them before we fought the Egg-Aqua. Anyway, the girls, Eno, Ciel, and I, heard that you and the boys got captured, so we tried to break you out. Eggman found out, and he's sending his clones after us. Everyone except You, me, and Eno, are off fighting them. Speaking of which..." Tails turned his head towards the cyborg-hedgehog at the computer. "Eno, how goes it?"

"Just about done," Eno replied. He turned to look at Tails and "Sonic." "So Sonic, you really know where Amy is?" Amy didn't know how to answer this question. She was Amy! Should she lie? What if the emeralds really couldn't get her out? They'd need help then, and maybe...

"Incoming!" All heads turned as Knuckles was thrown into the room, a Rouge Clone and a Blaze Clone following behind him.

"That's it!" Amy yelled. She could figure out what to do later, but she decided that now was the time to fight. Without any concerns about what everyone else thought, she concentrated, summoning her trademark hammer. Even though she was in Sonic's body, she could still use it just as skillfully. She pounded the hammer at the Rouge Clone, sending it crashing into the wall.

"Sonic, what are you doing with Amy's hammer?" Eno asked, bewildered.

"Let's just say, it's a little gift from Amy," the words came out of Sonic's mouth, Amy deciding that she woiuld keep his secret...for now.

So, how was that? And in case you think Sonic can't use a hammer, check out Sonic Advance 3. Pair him (or anyone else) with Amy, and Sonic (or the other character) uses a hammer attack. Anyway, Chapter 15 up Thursday, so be there with your tents! Hehehe...
