Slipping in and out of consciousness, she could barely piece together what happened. Finally gaining some semblance of sense Amy looked around the destroyed car around her.
Her car was in a ditch, mangled and twisted beyond repair. The storm had finally taken her car and almost took her, but she was still alive and was only a few streets away from her apartment complex, a few long streets, but a few streets nonetheless.
Looking around the car she reached for her hammer. After dislodging from the door she pulls it from the back seat. Opening the door she is immediately greeted by the water bullets that were in the rain.
Reaching back into the driver seat she grabs the cap and forces it onto her head." Guess I'm going by foot from here." She said to herself before running off into the streets of the destroyed Central City. The sound of thunder and gun fire echoed through the roads. Looking up she could see several Eggman fighter craft fighting what was left of the Restoration forces in the city. The battle was almost beautiful, the form of the aircraft countered by the cloudy sky and fire spewing for the engines. Looking back at the tarmac ahead of her Badniks opened fire into the city, many of them getting swept off their feet by the harsh bursts of wind that erupt from the world around them.
Running up to them Amy slams into the ground, the shockwave flinging the robots back. Continuing her sprint towards the apartment she sees what looks to be a tank. One of millions that Restoration had acquired from G.U.N before it disbanded. Seeing the tank About to get overrun by Badniks she runs towards the horde. Giving them the friendly greetings of an absurdly large hammer to the face, sending the group flying back.
" Thanks!" The commander said before diving back into the tank.
" No problem!" She replied, continuing her trek across the battlefield.
As she continued down the beaten bath she watched as the road got more and more unusual, rising from the ground and curving around buildings. In any other place this would be abnormal, not here. Following the curves and spins she eventually jumps off the road, landing roof edge. Grinding on the lip she jumps off and lands on the roof of a building nearby. The sound of jet engines roar closer, looking back she sees two Restoration jet fighters, zooming From behind being chased by dozens of Egg drones. As the jets fly above and ahead of her she could hear the drones firing their guns and missiles behind her.
" Thanks a lot guys." She said mockingly at the friendly jets, now long gone. Skidding to a stop. She gets ready to leap at them. Running forward she side steps the bullets using the Missiles to jump up to the drones. As she destroys the machines with a clumsy, but capable elegance. She grabs onto one of them. Using it to get back up to speed she slams onto the ground. With the threats dealt with she finally reaches the apartment. Smoke billowing from all sides and standing on threads and most of the base had been completely destroyed she needed to save Gemerl and Cream and she needed to do it as fast as possible.
Jumping on the side building she slides down the glass. Moving away from massive holes caused from the fighting. Reaching the ground she rushes towards the front entrance. Ziping through the door she immediately hops onto the rail located at the centre of the ground floor. Grinding upwards she could only watch as pieces of glass tumble from the glass roof. Covering her eyes she feels the bits of glass bouncing off her back. Finally reaching the floor of her room she jumps towards the walkways located near the rooms. Landing on them she rushes to her room only to be interrupted by Gemerl lying on the floor on meters ahead of her.
" Gemerl?" She yelled running up to them. The robot could only twitch in response, in his arms was Cream cradled up to his chest.
" What happened?"
" Missile." Is all the robot could say, his voice box was severely damaged. Amy didn't need to know more. They needed to exit the building as fast as possible. Grabbing both of them she slowly made her way to the stairs, it might take long, but there weren't any options. Her plan was interrupted by
By the growing sound of yet another jet. This time however it sounds far less elegant, as it grows closer the sound further devolved into the sound of metal careening towards the building.
Without a second thought she began sprinting towards the stairwell. Seconds later the sound of metal and brick colliding echoed through the building before being overshadowed by the erupting boon of a fury-full explosion. The sound of the explosion moving up behind them. Gemerl, looking back and seeing the flames run towards them like a wild beast uses some of his last energy reserves to activate his thruster. As the jet boomed to life it sent the three flinging towards the stairwell barely escaping the flames. Sliding uncontrollably, they skid towards the open elevator shaft. As Cream flings in she is barely caught by Amy, but now both of them are in the shaft. Reaching her hand out towards Gemerl he is barely able to catch them, not making the Same mistake as Amy he catches himself on the elevator corner, barely stopping himself from falling into the shaft.
They aren't in the clear however as the yellow and black Badnik had mostly disconnected his arm leaving Amy and Cream dangling on his loose arm that was only connected to his body by a few wires. Running out of options the robot tries to pull them out using his other arm, but movement only sends him closer to falling in. Swiftly grabbing the edge of the shaft again, but the sudden tension caused the arm to detach more. Now the only thing keeping them from cascading down was a single wire. A wire that was bound to break no matter what the robot could do.
A few silent seconds pass, while a war raged on outside those sounds were almost drowned out by the terror. As expected, the wire snapped sending Amy and Cream falling down. Gemerl felt something he never thought he ever would, dread, pure unadulterated dread. The one he swore to protect with life was currently tumbling down ten stores.
He looked over the edge expecting to see them falling, but was greeted by an odd sight. Amy and Cream were still in the air, not falling, their screams stopped as they were confused by what was happening. Their bodies glowed blue, looking up Gemerl could see a silver hedgehog, glowing from the floor above.
As he slowly pulled them up and gently threw them into the floor they were before tumbling into the shaft. As Gemerl embraces his little bunny friend, the hedgehog slowly moving down the shaft himself he lands on the ten floor. Amy looks up to see-
"Silver?" Amy was confused about why he came back in time.
" Listen-" Silver said reaching his hand out to Amy." I'll explain later, but right now we need to get out of here."
