The Rescue
Amy ran as fast as her legs would carry her. What she wouldn't give to have sonics speed right now. She entered a forest hoping to lose the drones that were chasing her.
Her Piko Piko hammer in her left hand, with her right hand clung to her left arm in pain. Already being injured from the initial attack.
Flashback:
It had been a beautiful morning, which was great because today was the day that Amy and Cream had planned a picnic for the group.
The gang were told to arrive at 11am. Amy and Cream arrived half an hour early to set up the picnic table and to set up all the food and drink. The area they were in was a wide open green one with a single tree not too far away from their table.
Sonic and Tails were the first two to arrive which Cream was happy about to see Tails. Shortly after, Knuckles arrived and informed them that Rouge would be along later. Knuckles and Rouge had only recently announced they were a couple but it was obvious to everyone that they had been attracted too each other long before they realised themselves.
Sally arrived some time after Knuckles. She was glad to finally spend some time with her friends. It had been far too long since she could make it to a get together.
That meant everyone was accounted for. Amy had of course sent invitations to Shadow, Silver, and Blaze but even getting a reply from any of them was rare. Shadow more so than the other two, she couldn't remember the last time Shadow had been dragged (by Rouge) to one of their get togethers. She hoped she would see him again soon.
An hour had passed since Sally arrived and the picnic was in full swing. Everyone was having a great time. Sonic was showing Amy and Sally his new break dancing moves, Knuckles was laying on a branch with his eyes closed and hands behind his head, and Tails was sitting next to Cream as the two of them enjoyed some food.
That is when everything went wrong. Suddenly a force field appeared around Sonic "what the.." he started but then a strong electric current was sent through his body making him scream out in agony before he fainted.
"Sonic" Amy and Sally screamed in concern, getting everyone else's attention. Knuckles reacted quickly and jumped from the branch heading for sonic as fast as he could but a robot de-camouflaged, catching Knuckles off guard and in the blink of an eye he was trapped in a similar force field where electric knocked him out too.
The others were too stunned to move. The robot had a human shape to it, around eight feet tall, bulky, and had a silver colour to it with black patterns all around it. It raised one of it's hands and the two force fields moved onto it's back.
It turned to face the others and raised it's other arm. The arms metal shifted to allow countless ball shaped drones to fly out.
"Girls get back, we have to get to safety" Tails shouted as he shook off his shock.
However they were quickly surrounded and separated from each-other. Amy swung her hammer and destroyed one of the drones but another one quickly took it's place. They seemed endless.
She went to swing again but a burst of pain radiated from her left arm as a drone hit her with it's laser, causing her to shout out in pain.
A yellow blur zoomed past her and quickly moved her away from the battle "Amy you need to get out of here and go get help" Tails said before zooming off again, not giving her a chance to react.
Amy looked back and with all her will she wanted to go back and help her friends but she knew with the pain in her arm, she would be useless. She listened to Tail's words and took off knowing she needed to get help but feeling horrible for leaving her friends behind. She made a silent promise to them that she would save them.
End Flashback
Amy could hear the buzzing of the drones behind her as she sprinted through the woods, breathing heavy from exhaustion. She didn't know where she was or where she was going, all she knew was she had to keep going until she lost the drones.
She wished she could think straight but the pain in her arm was making it nearly impossible. She passed a boulder but as she did, one of the drone's lasers fired and blew the boulder up, sending Amy flying from the force of the blast.
She landed on her front with a thud. Her lungs were burning, her legs were weak, and her arm was in tremendous pain. Her head was starting to hurt too and she felt her whole body starting to lose strength.
'Come on Amy, get up' she thought to herself 'you have to save everyone' she slowly lifted her head slightly to see her hammer had landed just in front of her. She tried to reach for it with her good arm but her bodies movements was slow with pain and exhaustion.
The noise from the drones got louder until they were above her. She closed her eyes and sent a silent prayer for forgiveness from her friends for not making it far or being of any help.
Just as the drones were about to pick her up "chaos spear" a deep voice called out. The drones were destroyed a second later.
The sound of someone landing in front of her caused Amy to open her eyes, she saw a dark hedgehog standing in front of her "Rose? What happened?" he asked concerned.
"Shadow?" she asked weakly before her body and mind gave out, everything went black as she lost consciousness.
I'm not entirely sure if this is a one-shot or the start of a story. I recently got back into Sonic and this small idea wouldn't leave my head until I wrote it down.
Would love to hear from anyone on this and thanks for reading.
I in NO way, shape, or form own Sonic the Hedgehog
