Uhmm...I have no comment...so here's Chapter 16 (sixteen's my favorite number! Woot!).

"GRAAAAARGH!" The Egg Aqua let out another mighty roar, this time catching everyone's attention. The creature was now quite large, still boasting a large amount of weaponry. The six emeralds were glowing inside it, but what really caught everyone's attention was the furries that were stuck inside.

"Crud," Sonic muttered. "It got Tails!" Sonic had stopped swirling around in order to get a better look at the beast.

"It's got Eno too!" Amy cried in Sonic's head. "as well as the Chaos Emeralds."

"Not all of them," Aurum noted. "The red one is still not in it's possesion. It'd be best to get that one before it does."

"Problem is, where is it?" Sonic asked. He turned his head around, furiously searching for whoever was in possesion of the emerald. The Egg Aqua was too, as was everyone else.

"Dr. Eggman!" All heads turned to see Eggman's delivery boy, Bokkun. "I found the emerald, Doctor! Someone musta' dropped it while the clones were out. Hey, where are you Eggman?" The confused little robot looked around, until his eyes rested upon the Egg Aqua, in which Eggman was attempting to nab a Chaos Emerald. Seeing as this was probably not the best place to be, Bokkun turned tail, and began to fly away.

"Well, isn't that fortunate?" Sonic murmmered under his breath. "Hey Amy, Aurum, any ideas?" Inside Sonic's head, Amy smiled.

"I have just the one," Amy replied. "Sonic, I need to use the hammer." Warily, Sonic relinquished control of his arms, as Amy held the hammer out in front. In one quick motion, she thrust it as hard as she could onto the ground, using the force of the swing to propel into the air.

"I didn't know you could do that with a hammer," Aurum said, whistling under his breath.

"There's a lot of things you can do with hammers," Amy answered. Soon, she had caught up to Bokkun.

"Gah! How'd you get up here Sonic?" Bokkun asked, flailing around as Sonic grabbed him.

"I have my ways," Sonic replied, smirking in his usual way. "Now, let me have the emerald, buddy, and I'll leave you alone."

"And if I don't?" Bokkun asked, looking at the hedgehog on top of him.

"Well, I'm sure there won't be much to do once we hit the ground." Both of them looked down, for they were indeed falling. Even though Bokkun had a rocket booster, it couldn't handle his and Sonic's weight at the same time. They were falling faster, and would soon hit the cold steel below.

"Oh fine then, take it!" Bokkun cried. "I don't want to die!" Bokkun thrust the emerald into Sonic's hands, leaving Sonic to fall down on his own.

"Why, you're too kind," Sonic said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Okay, now how am I supposed to get the other emeralds?"

"Sonic! Look out!" A watery tentacle thrust outward, grabbing the blue blur by his leg. He was quickly pulled in, soon stuck within the Egg Aqua's liquid form.

"Crud..." Sonic thought. "It's so...wet."

"Don't worry Sonic," Amy said to him, "You've fought Chaos before, right? This is basically the same thing."

"In case you forgot, I ran from him," Sonic answered. "Aurum's technically the one who fought him. See, whenever you see 'Super Sonic,' it's really Aurum doing all the work, since it's the only time he gets out. Of course, he's stronger that way, because he's also full of energy from the chaos emeralds"

"Oh, I see," Amy replied.

"I think we can swim to the Chaos Emeralds," Aurum noted. "Seeing as Eggman is attempting it, I think we could too." The three hedgie's gaze landed on the aforementioned scinetist, the cybernetic echidna furiously trying to reach the yellow emerald. But due to the fact that his robotic limbs didn't work nearly as well in the water, he was doing more flailing than swimming. Suddenly, something snapped in Amy's head.

"I forgot Mic!" Amy nearly cried out. In her excitement to get out of Sonic, she had accidentally left the poor chao behind. Remembering how scared he had been of the void inside Sonic's head, Amy felt guilty for her mistake. "I have to go after him."

"What? Right now?" Sonic asked. "There's no telling where he ended up! If you get lost when I have the emeralds, there's no way you're getting out!"

"Sorry Sonic," Amy replied, "But I don't leave friends behind. I promised him that he could come out with me, and I'm not breaking my promise."

"But Amy, I need you here," Her hero pleaded. "You know I can't swim! I don't know how to get through here, and I-" As much as Sonic wouldn't admit it, he didn't want to lose Amy. He didn't want to make any of the same mistakes with her that he had with Aurum or Beau. Amy could tell by the sound of his voice.

"Sorry Sonic," Finally, her hero was begging her to do something, and now she wasn't going to. "Look, I'll be back as soon as I grab Mic."

"No need," Aurum said. "Sonic, you know very well that I can swim, right? I'll help you with that. Amy, just stay in the black part of Sonic when you grab Mic. I'll meet you there once I give Sonic a hand, alright?"

"Alright then," Amy replied happily. "Good luck Sonic!" With that, Amy quickly left for the void.

"Stubborn girl," Sonic muttered.

"That's why you love her," Aurum replied. "That's why you wanted her to stay, is because you love her."

"Are you sure?" Sonic asked nervously.

"I can read you like an open book," Aurum sighed. "Okay, enough stalling. We've got work to do."

I'd say, only about two or three chapters to go until the end. Sorry if this chapter wasn't as good, but the next one will be better! Promise! Anyway, I'll see you Monday.
