Chapter 1- Do you love me?

Sonic and his friends were once again battling Robotnik, or as they refered to him, Eggman and his seemingly endless army of robots. The red and black coulored Egg-pawns advanced onto Sonic and dispite their comined efforts, the robots were breaking through their defences...

"Gah! We can't keep them off forever, we gotta think of something else!" Knuckels shouted, while hurling his spiked fist at yet another one of the round and somewhat clumsy robots.

"Got any bright ideas Knucklehead?" Rouge asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. However, she was forced to pry her attention of the debate with Knuckels to demolish an attackin Egg-pawn with a swift kick of her steel-enforced boot.

"Muhahahaha! This time, victory will be mine! Not even you pesky rodents can keep up with a never-ending army. How ironic, that my weakest creations would be your downfall." Eggman chuckeled, while hovering at a safe distance from the furious battlegrounds. He pushed a series of different buttons on the control panel of his odd-looking Egg-mobile and yet another wave of Egg-pawns emerged from the tiny portable robotfactory, that he had placed in his base.

"Don't celebrate just yet doctor." Shadow glared at Eggman and at the same time, searching for an opening to attack him. But without his chaos emerald, he was stuck on the ground as the others.

"We've got to destroy that robot-maker before it drowns us in Eggies!" Tails shouted, as he patheticly tried to pry a heavy piece of metal of himself. "Sonic, can you manage?"

"Said and done Tails!" And with that, Sonic darted off towards the minifactory, but unknownst to him, things were about to take an ugly and unwanted turn...

"Sonic!" Amy came running as fast as she could, her hammer swinging wildly from side to side, destroying two or three robots at a time.

"Amy!" But as Sonic looked away, an Egg-pawn came rushing at him and using it's sheer bodyweight it knocked him to the ground. He quickly got back up and taking a path right through the robot, sped over to Amy.

"Amy, you promised me to stay at Tails workshop!" Sonic said with a hint of concern in his voice. He couldn't endanger Amy, not again...

"I can fight too, you know. Why can't I fight alongside my hero?" She looked at him with a dissapointed face and she did have a point, over the years she had become a much better fighter.

"I know you can fight, it's just that you might get hurt and..." He stopped in mid-sentence realizing what he was about to say. Without waiting for an answer, he took path towards the Robo-maker once more and this time he reached his target. With a burst of energy he released his attack Sonic Wind and completly oblitirated the mechanic contraption. The moment the factory exploded, the Egg-pawns were shutdown and stopped dead in their tracks.

"Argh! Curse you hedgehog! I'll get you yet!" Eggman howled as he made his escape.

"Way to go Sonic!" Tails cheered as he made his way to his blue friend

"Another of Eggbreaths metal toys on the scrapheap" Knuckels said, while smacking his fists together. Just as everybody was about to leave Amy spoke up and she was angry.

"Wait a minute, Sonic, why did you leave me at the workshop, why couldn't I come along?"

There was a long painful silence and Sonic looked at he others nearvously, as if they had the proper answers. But everybody was staring at him, waiting for an explanation.

"Uh, I... err..." He stuttered, desperatly trying to find the words.

"Sonic, you always do this, you are always leaving me behind, am I that much in the way, huh? Why are you protecting me!" Amy practically screamed.

"Because I love you, damnit!" Sonic shouted at the top of his lungs. His angry mood was quickly replaced by fear when he realized what he just said. Amy just stood dumbfounded, not beliving her own two ears and everybody else were in total and complete shock. The akward silence seemed to last for hours until Knuckels broke it.

"You... you're kidding, right? Sonic, you've been running away from Amy for several years!"

Sonic didn't answer, he just focused on Amy and only her.

"Amy, just let me know, do you love me as Sonic the person, not he hero? All these years you've been chasing me, would you have done that if I wasn't a hero, if I only was an ordinary hedgehog?" The question struck Amy like a ton of bricks, she couldn't think of an answer. When looking at the facts, she didn't really know him as a person, the only thing she knew was the hero.

The expression on her face gave away her answer before her voice got the chance and Sonic instantly understood, she only loved the flawless, invincable hero. His heart sunk in his chest and it felt like his insides were torn at by invisible claws, tearing pieces out of his very soul. He looked at the others, were they the same? their eyes said what he feared most, that was all they thought of him? A robot destroyer shaped like a hedgehog? Slowly and painfully he started to realize, he was only a tool to them, a posession, nothing more.

"And I thought you were my friends..."
