So here we are chapter 6. Sorry it took so long but I've been doing an article for Summer of Sonic too. And if you're here from Summer of Sonic, Welcome I hope you're enjoying the fic.

This'll be updated by chapter on fanfiction dot net every time I do a chapter. My username is Masterhunter though there's a link in the credits section. Both versions will get the exact same file, so will have the exact same start.

For you ff dot net people who haven't been to Summer of Sonic (dot com, all one word), I suggest you take a look. It's been an awesome celebration so far and as I write this a couple of things I've done still need to go up.

Though my card message is up. I'm on number 51.

For you SoS people the link in Credits sends you to my ff dot net profile. Though I also have a blog as Masterhunter dot Blogspot dot com and more importantly a DeviantART account (username is Master-hunter-Joz). Yeah I need to merge all three into one site really.

Well enough talk here's chapter 6 or the 2nd set of chapters if you're a SoS person.

NB ff dot net blanks out any links you make that's why I've said the links phonetically.

Chapter 6 - The Green Nemesis

The sun was setting at Station Square. The Young Pink Hedgehog Amy Rose wanders down one of the cities many streets carrying a bag of groceries. Life was again a dull routine, not like when she was with Sonic.

Amy sighed as she remembered her adventure with Sonic on the Little Planet. She was an intern at a newspaper at the time though her account of Sonic's battle with Metal Sonic became a best seller. She doesn't worry about money anymore. The Only thing she feels passionately about is Sonic.

She never felt more alive than when she was on the Little Planet. She was sent to do a quick report on the planet as it only appears above Never Lake once every few months or so. Oddly the Planet was chained to the Earth at the time and the whole thing reeked off Dr. Robotnik.

Sonic of course wasted no time in attempting to free the planet and stop the doctor and when she saw him it was love at first sight. He was even more impressive in person. Amy followed Sonic to the Neon City Collision Chaos where she was kidnapped by Metal Sonic.

Her heart melted when she saw Sonic race Metal Sonic through Stardust Speedway just to rescue her (well that's the way she likes to think of it). As Eggman's base collapsed Sonic grabbed her and raced to safety. With the power of the time stones he defeated Eggman, Metal Sonic and freed the Little Planet.

But before she could thank him Sonic ran off. Life since then has been nowhere near as exciting.

Suddenly a dark shadow consumed her from above. A massive Battleship blocked the falling sun. Amy looked up and dropped her groceries as the sight made her freeze in horror. The Doctor was back.

Then she smiled as she knew where the Doctor was so was Sonic.

"So that's why he was in the city. Sonic must be here somewhere", said Amy to herself.

Suddenly a Sky Blue Flicky smashed into Amy's Head. The force knocked Amy onto her Backside. She quickly got back up ready to shoot expletives at the bird. She stopped in her tracks when she noticed the Flicky was hurt.

"Oh poor thing. I'll look after you", said Amy as she cupped the flicky.

The Flicky managed to fly out of Amy's hands, fighting with every flap of its wings. A giant Green Robot smashed into the ground behind them.

"The bird please", said the Green Robot

"No way! You are one of Eggman's goons", said Amy, "Don't worry I'll protect you".

The Green Robot moved in closer.

"I am Zero. I have been programmed to capture those who Doctor Robotnik wishes to be captured. You will come with me", said the Green Robot.

Amy grasped her hammer. She had decided to defend herself after what happened on Little Planet but she was no hero. Her legs started to shake and she couldn't figure out how to hit Zero. Zero tried to grab the bird though Amy grabbed the Flicky and began to run away from Zero.

"Let's find Sonic, he'll know what to do", said Amy.

Sonic crashed into the Emerald Coast beach. The Doctor had beaten him for now and he didn't like it. The Laser Cannon was extremely powerful and he stupidly underestimated the Doctor's intelligence, particularly with weapons.

He needed to find Tails again. He wasn't going to give up but like it or not he couldn't fly. Plus he needed to know his best friend was OK. Sonic shook off the pain and realised if Tails would go anywhere it would be his Workshop in Mystic Ruins.

Sonic ran to the Train Station but was shocked to find the Trains were down and the workers were on strike. It was the only way to Mystic Ruins besides crossing the ocean, and Sonic did not like Water, not one bit.

"Shoot! There must be another way to Mystic Ruins", said Sonic out loud before frantically searching Station Square.

How could things get any worse? Thought Sonic before hearing the worst sound imaginable.

"SONIC!" screamed the voice of an annoying fan girl.

Sonic turned to realise his worst fears, she had found him again and this time there was a massive crowd between them.

"Oh! Amy….er how are you doing? You….er…haven't seen Tails anywhere or know how to get to the Mystic Ruins?" asked Sonic

"Sorry Sonic I don't know but look we have more important things to take care of. This bird is hurt", said Amy presenting the Flicky to Sonic.

"A bird is hurt? You think that's more important than finding my best friends", said Sonic.

"Well Eggman is after it", said Amy.

"Now you're talking. Where is the Egghead?" asked Sonic.

Zero burst through the doors next to them and tried to grab the bird. Amy pulled the Flicky away.

"Scanning subject. Entry found. Blue Hedgehog identified as Sonic the Hedgehog. Priority one capture", said Zero.

"Alright something to smash", said Sonic, "Just leave this thing to me".

"OH MY GOD! TWINKLE PARK IS LETTING CUTE COUPLES IN FOR FREE. SONIC WE HAVE TO GO", said Amy running towards the entrance to Twinkle Park.

"AMY! WAIT! Damn that girl, does she go looking for trouble or what?" said Sonic to himself.

Sonic and Amy reached the entrance to Twinkle Park and got through the main gate. Zero soon followed. Sonic turned to face the Robot but realised there were too many civilians around and someone could get hurt.

"Amy run. I'll distract him", said Sonic, "GO!"

Amy reluctantly ran off in the opposite direction. Sonic noticed the Twinkle Cart Bumper Cars.

"Let's see if you can follow me in there big guy", said Sonic.

ACTION STAGE: TWINKLE PARK (SONIC / AMY)

Sonic grabbed one of the bumper cars and sped into the road ahead of the pit. Zero followed in but wouldn't catch Sonic in a million years. The cars were just faster and he wouldn't fit. Zero turned away realising Sonic the Hedgehog was now unobtainable.

Sure Sonic could've ran through the Road but he felt the cars were more fun. After all he was in a theme park he was going to enjoy himself.

Meanwhile Amy and the Flicky were sure they had reached a safe distance from Zero. Zero wasn't going to find them where they were. Unfortunately the Pink Hedgehog has underestimated her nemesis. Zero appeared behind her determined to capture the bird.

Amy ran away as fast as she could, which was pretty fast considering she wished to keep up with Sonic so much she trained every day. Amy tried to hide in the Castle though Zero following her inside.

Sonic meanwhile had reached the end of the track and now found himself on the theme park's rollercoaster. He looked down to find Zero chasing Amy into the Castle. Zero welded the doors shut behind him, Amy was on her own.

When the rollercoaster stopped Sonic raced around the castle as fast as he could, trying to find another way in. He even climbed up the Castle but it was no use. Then he saw Amy burst out from the Castle closely followed by Zero. Amy grabbed onto a large balloon that let them fly to safety.

"Oh good's she's safe. But now where is she going?" asked Sonic.

The Balloon carried Amy out of the park and into the heart of the city. Sonic jumped out off the castle rooftops in an attempt to follow her. Sonic found himself on a long stretch of Road.

"I'm coming Amy!" shouted Sonic.

ACTION STAGE: SPEED HIGHWAY (SONIC)

Sonic blasted through the highway, much of which was still under construction. He even hitched a ride of a helicopter to get passed a huge gap. Somehow he ended up running down the side of a skyscraper managing to land safely at the bottom. Sonic was now in the city centre but could not find Amy anywhere.

Sonic found himself in the casino area again when he heard a familiar scream. Heading through the tunnel to Mystic Ruins was Zero carrying Amy. Amy struggled to get free but it was no use. Sonic raced towards the Train Station and burst through the locked doors to follow Zero down the tunnel.

On the Egg Carrier Dr. Robotnik was preparing his E-Series robots for their next mission. The Doctor was infamous for making big parades to introduce himself and this time was no different. The Doctor walked onto a stage with bright spotlights and trumpets playing a Fanfare tune.

"You are the Elite Egg Carrier Crew, My E-Series. E-102 Gamma, E-103 Delta, E-104 Epsilon and E-105 Zeta. I have a special task for you", boomed Dr. Robotnik's voice from the main stage.

The screen behind the Doctor displayed a large picture of a green frog with a long tail.

"This Frog has swollen a Chaos Emerald as well as merging with Chaos Tail. It is vital in my plans I must have it. I want you all to split up and find this frog", said Dr. Robotnik.

Gamma took a moment to register the screen in his memory banks before descending towards Station Square.

Knuckles had spent the best part of a day searching the jungle for the two statues to put on the pedestals on the pyramid temple. He eventually found them and placed them in their rightful position. The Floor beneath him started to shake and he fell down a large pit.

Knuckles closed his eyes as he saw the ground coming in fast with no way of stopping. When Knuckles did wake up he was in some sort of forgotten world. He was inside the temple yet this seemed even larger than it did from the outside.

Knuckles shook off the pain and felt a tingle in his feet. Some Emerald shards were here and he was going to find them.

ACTION STAGE: LOST WORLD (KNUCKLES)

After an exhausting search Knuckles found the remaining shards and headed back to the Master Emerald Shrine.

Big has followed Froggy back to Station Square. The Giant Green Robot and the Blue Hedgehog passed them in the tunnel. While it seemed odd Big didn't really have the time to think about it. In fact he didn't want to think period. He just wanted his Frog pal back again.

He had no idea why Froggy kept running away from him. But he was going to do everything he could to get him back.

Big followed Froggy through the Hotel into Emerald Coast.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile as Gamma was searching Station Square he saw a Frog fitting the description the Doctor gave him head towards Emerald Coast. A large purple Cat followed the Frog. Gamma scanned the Cat and found any threat would be minimal. Gamma proceeded to Emerald Coast too to capture the Frog.

ACTION STAGE: EMERALD COAST (GAMMA / BIG)

After a fairly long search Big found and caught Froggy as Gamma watched from a distance. The robot observed the Cat and rated his fishing skills as expert level. When he saw the Frog in Big's arms he immediately raced towards the big Cat and snatched Froggy off him.

"Frog Capture Complete. New Objective, hand frog over to Dr. Robotnik", said Gamma.

"Hey wait a minute. Where are you going with my friend? Hey come back here", said Big, "Aw come on!"

Big chased Gamma as Gamma headed back to Dr. Robotnik's base

"HEY! COME BACK HERE YOUR CREEP", shouted Sonic down the tunnel.

Sonic had closed the gap between them considerably but it was no use. Zero got too much of a head start. Sonic saw the light at the end of the tunnel; they were back in Mystic Ruins.

Zero descended from the Train Platform into the open area. Sonic looked above and saw the Egg Carrier waiting for them.

"Zero reporting to Dr. Robotnik. I have captured target Flicky and Amy Rose", said Zero

"Hey let go of me you creep", screamed Amy, "SONIC!"

"I'm coming Amy. It won't take me long to turn this thing into scrap metal", said Sonic, "Let her go now bolt brain before I squash ya!"

A large beam of light dropped onto Zero as Zero began to float into the air. Using the beam of light Zero ascended into the Egg Carrier.

"Oh no your don't Eggman. I will save Amy", said Sonic.

The Egg Carrier flew over the mountains and Sonic raced towards it as fast as he could.

I will not fail
