A/N: Sorry for the super long wait!
Success
In a flash of blinding light, Amy appeared with Vanilla still flatted against her back. Screeching to a halt, the pink hedgehog blinked several times while stroking her eyes and forehead, trying to get rid of her double vision and the pounding headache; the loud ringing in her ears didn't help.
When she felt a hand tug her wrist to the right, she saw Vanilla facing forward, her brown eyes wide with amazement.
Facing forward, her mouth dropped when she saw that they were both inside what appeared to be a humongous space station. The big windows were crystal clear, so she can see that this space station was currently floating in, well space. I've never been to space before! Man, I can see planet Earth!
Amy and Vanilla jumped the instant they regained their hearing, the two turning around to see a golden comet delivering powerful blows to a robot with arms that would elongate every now and then, in an attempt to capture it. A reddish hue laser beam was released from the robot's eyes, striking the golden comet, sending it spiraling out of control. However, instead of falling down and crashing into the Earth, possibly causing irreparable damage to it, the comet managed to… stop itself? But how? Is it alive?
Amy did a double-take, her jade eyes broadening when she noticed that it is alive! And it looks like a hedgehog… inspecting the hedgehog further, she froze. S-Sonic? B-but he's gold and his quills all upturned and weird! And that Robot's face, I can recognize that ugly mug anywhere!
"That's crazy! He's fighting the robot in space! How can he breathe out there! Doesn't he need to breathe? Many things are different here…wait… Oh my God, we actually traveled Universes! I can't wait to study everything here!" Vanilla shrieked with excitement, rambling on about new theories and whatnot t.
"V, doesn't that hedgehog look like Sonic?"
Squinting in order to get a better look, she wrinkled her nose thoughtfully. "Sort of, but I got a question of my own. Does that robot look like Robotnik?"
"Yep."
"But we are going to ignore it, right?"
"Hmmm sure."
"Because we did only come her for Time Stones…right?"
"Yeah…the Time Stones."
Vanilla pursed her lips in annoyance. "You want a crack at him don't you?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"Amy…remember our mission. We don't need to interfere with anything else here. We just need the Time Stones and then we can go."
Gazing at each other intensely, the rabbit's logical thinking overcame the hedgehog's stubbornness.
"Fine! Let's find a way to get off this space ship thing so that we can start searching."
Vanilla's heartwarming smile caused Amy to roll her eyes playful.
"Okay, so we need to find the control room to navigate this ship back to Earth."
"Well if I happened to create this space station, which I could totally do, I'd put it on the first floor of the ship!"
"Do you think you can drive this thing?"
"Come on Ames, it's me! I'll figure out how to drive this in no time!"
A giddy laugh burst from the rabbit's lips as she scurried across the long hallway and headed downstairs.
"Slow down! I'm still injured!"
She paused.
"Slow down? I never tell people to slow down."
Arriving at the first floor, Vanilla had been correct with the location of the control room, however, the same couldn't be said for what they didn't discuss and instead inwardly assumed; if there was anyone else on the ship.
Unfortunately, there was.
"Eggman is giving Sonic some trouble!" Cream said, the nine-year-old rabbit looking on with worry.
"don't worry, Sonic's got this," Amy Rose said carelessly, popping a bubble gum as her eyes remained glued to her smartphone. Unlike the rabbit, the pink hedgehog wasn't concerned for Sonic…like at all because she knew he'd win and he'd do it for her. Besides, she had other things to worry about, like this fabulous photoshoot she was scheduled to do tomorrow.
Sitting behind the spaceship's control panel, Tails's forehead creased with concern, his fingers drumming on the console anxiously. At first, he'd admit, he thought that this was going to be some pushover battle with Eggman, however, as the time came and went, he wasn't so sure that was the case any longer. Out of everyone here, he's the one that has known Sonic the longest, so he knew better than anyone else when Sonic was reaching his limit.
While Knuckles silently watched Sonic get peppered with laser blasts, Rouge gave the fox a sideways glance. What does he see that we don't…hmmm…
Feeling eyes on him, Tails spoke as he had an idea what was on the minds of the others.
"Eggman had this planned all along. He knew he couldn't beat Sonic under normal circumstances, so he manipulated Sonic into using the Chaos Emeralds, so he could lure him into battle in space. This isn't usually an issue, but that robot he created had absorbed a lot of the Master Emerald's energy and because of that, it is now able to generate enough power to form a barrier that even Super Sonic is struggling to break. If Sonic can't break that barrier soon, the emeralds will lose their power and well, you know what that spells for Sonic."
Knuckles grunted when he felt a slap upside his head. "Hey! What you do that, batgirl!?"
Rouge frowned. "Because you had to bring that stupid jewel with you!"
"You all asked me to come in case I was needed and I did! I told all of you that I wasn't going to leave the Master Emerald by itself." The echidna said, crossing his arms under the cress on his chest. "Besides, the Master Emerald is back in safe hands." He took out the large jewel, which was in its shrunken form, and caressed it lovingly, whispering sweet nothings to it.
The bat rolled her eyes.
"Don't be mad at him Miss Rouge. He was only trying to help." The rabbit's eyes then when downcast. "If anything, everyone should be mad at me. I'm the one that got kidnapped by Eggman."
Rouge smiled warmly as she petted Cream's head lovingly. When the rabbit lost her mother three years ago, the poor girl had nowhere to stay, so she reluctantly decided to take her in because she appeared to be the only one that could. Amy was still a young teenager and much too self-centered to the point that she'd neglect the rabbit for days, at least that's what she was told by Cream (the kid has a way with words). Sonic and Tails, while adults, were most definitely not fit to take care of a child, much less Knuckles; she was pretty sure the girl wouldn't like to live on a shrine with one of the most boring people in the world.
Now three years later, here she was, comforting the girl like she was her daughter...which she totally wasn't. Also, that cute smile of hers did not move her.
"Nah, that's his thing. He loves kidnapping people." When Cream beamed at her, she felt warmer inside. Okay, I lied...she's too adorable!
A sudden noise traveled through her ears, causing her and everyone else to turn.
Rouge's mouth dropped.
"Va-Vanilla?!"
"Rouge!"
"Whoa…"
"M-mom…?"
"Mini-me-" The older rabbit shook her head in shock. "D-did you call me m-mom?!"
Her lips trembling, Cream dashed from Rouge before she could stop her, and tackled the older rabbit, knocking the both of them down.
"I've-I've missed-wha-how you are alive!?" Cream asked, practically choking Vanilla, who was desperately trying to peel her off of her. Not only does she not know this girl who claimed that she was her mother, but she also wasn't the most affectionate person…well that was until her huge hopefully brown orbs pulled at her soul.
"Ohmygosh, you are so freaking cuuute!" Vanilla squealed in a babyish voice, reeling the little rabbit into a tight hug. Cream had no problem returning the hug, as she had missed her mother for so long! It was a miracle!
Too bad some miracles don't last very long.
Cream turned a little green and removed herself from her 'mom' when an unpleasant scent wafted into her nose. "Eww, mom! You smell like Tails when he doesn't come out of his shop for days!"
"Hey!"
Vanilla blushed, knowing that she did have a bad habit of doing that. Looking down at her white tank-top, she made a face when she saw black oily smudges smeared on the white fabric. She was pretty filthy from spending hours making the Multiverse watch.
"Well, I had been cooped up in my shop for days now, working on a project."
"Guy's, I think she's the one." The two-tailed fox whispered to Amy and Knuckles, his eyes comically turning into pink hearts.
Knuckles shook his head while Amy ignored him, deciding that scrolling through her old pictures was better than watching whatever drama is happening right now.
"I did also have to repair my plane's engine a few days before that." She tapped her chin thoughtfully. "But it's weird; I could have sworn I showered yesterday."
"I think I'm in love, guys."
"Ew, gross…" Amy mumbled, disgusted at both the rabbit and fox's comments.
"Or you did shower, but wore the same shirt like you have in the past." A new voice added.
Amy stopped hearting her own picture when she heard the newcomer. That voice. She knew that voice. She knew it better than anyone because she hears it on her social media pages all the time. She sees millions of 'likes' coming from fans (her own 'likes' included) and sometimes 'dislikes' (those are obviously just trolls and haters). It was her voice and…God its sounds ruined. It sounded a little rough and much too cocky.
Lifting her head to properly see her offender to give her a piece of her mind, her beautiful voice left her high and dry.
"Me?"
"Me?"
Cautiously walking towards one another so that they can get a better look of each other, they proceeded the examination once they felt they were close enough.
The bratty teen traced the figure of her offensive doppelganger with her eyes, hating everything she was seeing. She hated her Sonic-like spiked hair. She hated that hideous green shirt on her and that ugly orange skirt; and those shoes, God her shoes! Who wears white and purple shoes with red laces?! That combination is an abomination! This shouldn't exist! Hell, she shouldn't exist or at least this should be illegal so that she could be locked up forever! She's so absolutely disgusting that I can't stop staring at her.
The other Amy, the one that isn't supposed to 'exist', appeared just as disgusted as her counterpart. First, she did not like how her hair was combed down. No one would catch her dead wearing that hairstyle. Second, she did not like how her copy wore a tight grey button-up shirt, which was unbuttoned on the top to reveal a bit of her cleavage. Thirdly, she did not like how she wore a red skirt that was shorter than hers. Lastly, she did not like that she wore long white stocking which went past her knees. Her black shoes weren't that bad though. She could totally rock those, provided she had the correct outfit. Overall, she had the appearance of a preppy schoolgirl skank. I am never going to were a skirt again when this is all over!
"Yuck!" They said simultaneously.
"Your outfit is awful!" the conceited hedgehog hissed.
"So is yours!"
"Me? I know how to dress and match! You obviously don't! Who wears green, orange, and purple together!?"
"What about you? You look like a total slut!"
The other Amy gasped her hand flying to her mouth in dramatic astonishment.
"What!? How dare you!"
Seemingly out of nowhere, a wooden mallet materialized from thin air and into the self-centered Amy's hand. Without a second thought, as this imposter needed to be removed from her sight or maybe the world, she struck with her hammer, the weapon slammer on the ship's metal surface. Lifting her mallet with ease, she scanned around for her opponent but found out that she was nowhere to be seen.
The preppy hedgehog jolted in surprise when she felt a tap behind her shoulder. She quickly pivoted around and side waved her hammer horizontally, but again, the pink hedgehog wasn't there.
"Where the hell did that bitch go!?"
"Uhh, she's here…"
Tails pointed to the seat next to him, dumbfounded.
"That's some hammer you got there, have a name for it?" the pink blur chirped, her jaded eyes twinkling with mirth.
"It's my Piko-Piko Hammer! I am so going to knock you out once I catch-"
"You're not going to be able to catch her," Vanilla said, putting distance between herself and Cream. Cream had remained by her side, despite the unpleasant odor coming from her body.
"Yeah, she's as fast as Sonic!" Knuckles said.
"Wait, Sonic has super speed here?!"
"What do you mean here?" Throughout this whole altercation with the two Amys, Tails was toying with the thought that maybe they are who they say they are. I mean this can't be fake and just one of Eggman's schemes. I mean what would he get out of making a super speed version of Amy and a super-hot version of Cream's mom? Well, I guess they could be used to seduce us!
Raising his head, he saw Knuckles and Rouge face-palming, Amy glued back to her phone, Cream staring at everyone, completely lost and Vanilla cheeks burning bright red as she embarrassingly faced the spaceship's floor.
"I said that out loud didn't I…" the fox was just as red as his new crush
"See V! I told you you were smoking hot! I mean this fox has it bad for you!"
"Stop it!" her friend said, the rabbit hiding her face with her hands.
"Too bad we can't take him back home!" Amy gave the fox a sly look. "Do you want to come with us?"
Seeing her peak out of her hands cutely, he was going to agree but stopped when he mentally repeated the last thing this Amy said.
"What do you mean by home?" Tails said, narrowing his eyes in suspicion. "It almost sounds like you're not from here…like this Universe."
As soon as Vanilla stiffened, the pink blur knew their cover was blown.
Damn it
"I'm correct, aren't I?"
Vanilla nodded. There was no point lying. They couldn't escape since they were stuck in outer space. If they at least were on Earth soil, they could have made a break for it, however even if they did, where would they go? They can't go back to their Universe because not only has the metal virus consumed the planet, but her PMS watch was depleted of Chaos energy…and blinking? Why is it blinking red? I never programmed it to do th-
Just then the door slid open, revealing an exhausted Sonic.
A/N: Hands down, I love the way I wrote the interactions between the two Amys ^_^;
Universe 7 Character Bio
Sonic the Hedgehog
1. Age 23
2. The fastest thing alive in U7
3. Confident, caring, and doesn't have much trouble opening up to others...that is if he wants to; otherwise, he mostly keeps his emotions to himself.
Tails 'Miles" Prower
1. Age: 20
2. Arguably one of the smartest people on the planet; is an excellent engineer and is well knowing of Universal travel, even though he hasn't been able to do it.
3. Is Sonic's best friend and is consider Sonic's older brother even though the hedgehog is older than him (his bro disagrees). Tails is one of the most kind-hearted people known, wearing his heart on his sleeves. Unfortunately, his kindness comes at a price; he can't keep a relationship to save his life. Girls tend to leave him because he has a nasty habit of showering them with love because he falls in love with them too quickly. Thankfully, his bro is always there to cheer him up.
Amy Rose
1. Age 15
2. The most popular person in her entire school. She is also the star cheerleader in school and pretty famous on all social media platforms.
3. She's a perfectionist and a total self-centered brat (some say bitch fits her better). She doesn't hesitate to berate those she considers beneath her (which is almost everyone except her group of friends). However, a lot of this is a front, an image she has to hold for the public eyes. She does have a soft spot for the 'Sonic gang' and has helped them all when things get tough, especially when dealing with Eggman and his minions.
Cream the Rabbit
1. Age 9
2. Possibly one of the most adorable, sweetest yet sassiest girl known.
3. She is typically a happy girl, but when her mother is brought up, who had died 3 years ago for unknown reasons, the liveliness in her eyes disappears for days on end. Because of this, those close to her avoid the subject like the plague; carrots tend to make her feel better faster.
Knuckles the Echidna
1. Age 25
2. Is the guardian of the Master Emerald in U7
3. Is pretty dense and sometimes considered dumb amongst those outside of his circle of friends. However, he is a lot smarter than people give him credit and he uses this to his advantage in battles to outwit his opponents; Rouge is apparently his best friend, but everyone knows there must be something going on there.
Rouge the Bat
1. Age 23
2. Agile, a master at sneaking in and out of highly secure places undetected.
3. She has a sassy and mischievous personality. Her weakness? Using her loved ones against her, especially Cream; In her teenage years, she had a fling with Sonic; She used to be a kleptomaniac.
A/N 2: I noticed that I had a weak start in the first chapter, so that's why I combined the prologue chapter with the first one. However, I fear the damage has been either done or people just generally don't like the idea of this fanfic, which is a shame since I really like it.
Anyway, the next chapter should be put up much sooner than this one. This continuation of this story all depends on you guys. For those that have reviewed and added and followed, thanks!
