Hey folks! I've got a few more chapters of this to go, and then we'll be done. Also, I completely re-did my profile! It has more information on Ciel, Gemini, Eno, and even me! Please check it out, and tell me what you think! In other news, we've reached fifteen chapters, rivaling the length of my current longest story, You Never Know, meaning that this will be my longest story yet by the time we're done! Yay!
Amy was filled with a sense of almost overwhelming joy. She was free. She had a body, she could do what she wanted. She would never have to go back into that horrible blackness, the place devoid of senses. Amy was so happy, she fought even harder against the clones, literally smashing off the Blaze Clone's head.
She looked over at the faces of the others in the room. Eno was staring at her, wondering how the heck Sonic had Amy's hammer, and what exactly had happened with Amy in the first place. Tails had his mouth wide open, for he had never even imagined Sonic even touching Amy's hammer. Knuckles was also dumbfounded, but he was also freaked. It was a good thing "Sonic" didn't mind the real Blaze, as the echidna's head was filled with unrealistic images of his favorite kitty's head being smashed to bits. Of course, Sonic would never do that, but Knuckles did have an overly active imagination, since he had nothing better to do when guarding his Master Emerald.
"Okay guys," Amy said, her voice once again coming out as Sonic's, "Tails, you and Eno finish hacking into the computer. Knuckles, you're coming with me. We've got some bots to bust." She dragged Knuckles outside with her, into the fray of hundreds of clones. There were clones of almost everyone, except for, suprisingly, Sonic and Amy. Amy didn't take much notice in these, though, for she was busy smashing clones to bits. Once, she actually hit an actual person, who began to yell words that would be innapropriate to mention (of course, this person happened to be Gemini). Amy gave a quick apology before knocking the head off another Tails clone.
"Amy, is that you?" Amy heard Sonic say. He was waking up, and she was pretty sure she heard Aurum too.
"Yeah Sonic, it's me." Amy felt her grip on the hammer lessening, it was becoming harder to keep control of Sonic's body when he was aware of it.
"Uhmm, I see you've busted up quite a few bots," Sonic noted, giving an impressed whistle. "Okay Amy, I can take over from here."
"No Sonic! I can handle it!" Amy thought-screamed. She did not want to go back to feeling nothing. She was sick of it.
"Amy, please," Sonic pleaded. "Don't worry, I promise you'll be out soon enough."
"I don't care! I don't want to go back!" Overwhelmed by her desire to stay in control, Amy kept moving the hammer as Sonic tried to control his body again.
"Dangit Amy, give it up!" Sonic orderd. "Aurum, give me a hand here, will ya'?" Amy knew that Aurum had agreed, as she felt the hammer being tugged away. She pulled back, while Aurum and Sonic pulled away from Amy. The result was Sonic's body, hammer extended, began slowly spinning like a top. It began to spin faster and faster, until it was like a miniature blue tornado, anhialating anything in it's path. Left and right, the clones were whisked into the air, while everyone else ran for shelter from this sudden attack.
"Why is Sonic using a hammer all of a sudden?" Rouge asked, being cramped in a corner with Shadow.
"I think he's been able to communicate with Amy somehow," Shadow replied, "but he doesn't want others to know about it. For some reason, he's trying to do it all by himself."
"Well, he's doing a pretty good job of it," Rouge noted. "Anyone stupid enough to go out there is either scrap metal or mince meat. Hopefully, there will be none of the latter."
"Which makes me wonder," Shadow said, "where's Eggman?"
"Woah," was all Tails could say, as he looked out the window to see his hero fighting. "I never knew Sonic was so good with a hammer."
"He's not," Eno replied, his robotic fingers flying over the keys on the computer. "Whenever he's used Amy's hammer before, he makes a fool out of himself. So somehow, I think Amy's doing it."
"But how?" Tails asked.
"I'm not sure," Eno looked down solemnly at the keys. "I can almost sense her, as if she's here, but she's not. I've been worried about her." The cyborg tapped a few more keys.
"Access confirmed," The computer beebed. "Unlocking Chaos Emeralds."
"Finally!" Tails cheered. "Now, we just need to get this to Sonic, and-"
"Not so fast!" Out of nowhere, a large, watery tentacle thrust itself into the room, grabbing the emeralds from where they lay. The two boys looked over to see the Egg-Aqua, with Eggman atop his head. Eggman had his arm-cannon aimed at them, preparing to fire. "Sorry, but these emeralds are rightfully mine."
"You stole them!" Tails yelled.
"Yes I did," Eggman replied, "How nice of you to notice. Now, show me where the last emerald is, and no one gets hurt. Besides those I choose to hurt, that is."
"No deal," the kitsune pointed outside. "See, Sonic's already taken out your army of clones, and I wouldn't advise going out there at the moment." The mad scientist looked at the blue blur, who was literally that. All that could be seen outside was a blue tornado, spinning around in circles.
"My Egg-Aqua can deal with that," The madman boasted. "But for now, we'll just take care of you. Egg Aqua, ATTACK!" The monster, suprisingly, did not comply. Instead, it absorbed not only the six Chaos Emeralds in that room, but also Eggman, Eno, and Tails.
"GRRAAAAAARGH!" The watery beast roared, sounding like a partly-roboticized Chaos. There was only one more emerald it needed, and that was outside. The beast began to make it's way out the room, slithering it's watery form outside. The only difficulty was getting the metal parts and the absorbed animals through the small space, but it didn't matter. It was free.
Uh oh, this spells trouble. How are our hedgies going to deal with this? You'll soon find out!
