Sonic wakes up around 9 AM, and finds a note in his bed where Amy normally would be. It reads: 'While you slept I kidnapped your wife and son, Sonic. The only way to save them is to find me. Might want to hurry though. Robot Alnilam.'

Sonic begins shaking with rage. Tearing through his house, he fails to find Amy and Dash. The blue hedgehog gets dressed in a blue shirt and matching shorts, gets his blue speed shoes, then bolts to Tails' workshop. He makes a mental note about the lock on the front door having been picked.

-Underground base, unknown location-

Amy wakes up, and finds Dash in her arms instead of Sonic. Looking around, Amy realizes something's wrong. The pink hedgehog also finds herself naked, just as she went to bed last night. She and Dash are wrapped in one of the blue silk sheets from Sonic's bed. A figure appears and turns on the lights, as well as a machine.

Amy covers herself as best she can and holds Dash to her. "Who are you?"

The figure steps into the light and Amy is shocked by who she sees. "Doctor Alnilam?"

The figure chuckles. "Yes and no. The real Doctor Alnilam is helping people. I'm a robot version of him left behind by Doctor Robotnik."

Amy's more than confused. "What do you mean?"

Robot Alnilam smiles. "Doctor Robotnik made a robot version of Doctor Alnilam in case something caused Robotnik to stop causing chaos. Alnilam was once Robotnik's physician, but stopped after accusations were made that Alnilam was providing funding for Robotnik's weapons. I'm not sure why it's taken so long to get the signal, but the time has come for me to pick up where Robotnik left off."

Amy's eyes flash. "Sonic is going to tear you apart."

The robot nods. "We'll see. Doctor Robotnik built me well. It's going to take at least Super Sonic to take me down."

Amy holds Dash closer to her. She knew Super Sonic was almost as strong as Sonic got. She looks down at the sleeping Dash, and smiled. He was sleeping through it all.

Robot Alnilam smiles and fiddles with the machine. "This machine is a motion activated laser. If you move, you die. You, and your son."

The pink hedgehog gasps. "B-But…"

The robot chuckles. "Sonic has 8 hours to find me and fight me for you. If he doesn't, the laser will fire, and you both will die."

Amy laughs. "Sonic will be here before then, and he'll easily take you down."

Robot Alnilam sighs. "Did I mention the fight was to the death?"

Amy's jade green eyes fill with tears, and Robot Alnilam nods. "You forget I was built by Doctor Robotnik with the sole purpose of taking Sonic down once and for all. If he defeats me, you'll all live happily ever after. If he fails, you and your son will be my slaves for the rest of your lives."

Amy lowers her head and quietly cries. Robot Alnilam leaves the room and waits for Sonic.

-Tails' Workshop-

A blue streak arrives at Tails' workshop and bangs on the door until the orange fox opens it.

"What's up Sonic?"

The blue hedgehog walks inside. "Amy and Dash have been kidnapped."

Tails goes to the Sonic Tracker. It's been modified to track Amy and Dash as well, should the need arise. Tails taps a few keys, and the machine begins searching for the missing hedgehogs.

-Three hours later-

The floor of Tails' workshop was starting to get a rut in it from Sonic pacing nonstop. The machine finally beeps, having found Amy and Dash.

Tails looks over the data. "No wonder it took so long. They're being held underground. Any idea who could be behind this, Sonic?"

The royal blue hero nods. "Robotnik's final attempt to get me to surrender."

The orange fox gives Sonic the information. "Go save your family."

Taking the data, Sonic rockets toward the underground base.

-1 hour later-

Sonic runs to the base and hears a loud humming noise. Getting a running start, Sonic runs into the door and sends it flying. Amy and Dash look at the doorway. They would go to Sonic, but the laser would fire.

Amy's relief is clear in her voice. "Sonikku! You're finally here!"

Sonic lands a hard Flying Kick to the machine, sending it aiming at another part of the room and then making it blow a decent sized hole in the wall.

Kneeling in front of Amy, Sonic wraps his rose-pink wife and bluish-purple son in a tight hug. "Are you two okay?"

Amy layers Sonic's face, neck, muzzle, and chest with loving nuzzles and kisses. "We are now, my love."

The sound of clapping makes the hedgehog family turn to the doorway. Sonic is confused by who he sees. "Doctor Alnilam?"

The robot smiles. "Your wife will do all the explaining."

Amy explains everything, then Sonic turns to the robot. "Did you have to kidnap Amy and Dash?"

Robot Alnilam shrugs. "It was extra incentive. I'm going to take your ruining of my laser as an acceptance of my challenge."

Sonic removes his blue shirt and gives it to Amy. "It's big enough to cover you up. Go home and wait for me there."

Nodding, Amy puts on Sonic's shirt and runs. The robot lets Amy and Dash go, his attention now focused on Sonic. "Shall we begin?"

Sonic growls. "Do your worst."

Robot Alnilam smiles. "Believe me, I will."

Grabbing Sonic by the neck, the robot ignites the rockets built into his shoes. Lifting Sonic over his head, Robot Alnilam uses the cerulean speedster to break through the ground and get to the city streets.

-Eight hours later-

Amy sits at home with the sleeping Dash, waiting for Sonic to return. She hadn't heard or seen anything of her husband since she ran home eight hours ago. A knock on her door makes Amy nearly rip the door from the hinges when she opens it. However, it's not Sonic she sees. Instead she sees Tails, Chief Parkinson, and Doctor Alnilam.

The orange fox speaks first. "Sonic's in the hospital Amy. I'm here to watch Dash so you can go see him."

Amy's eyes fill with tears. "W-What happened?"

Doctor Alnilam speaks now. "First, I apologize for what's happened to Sonic. I had no idea Robotnik built a robot version of me. Back to the point, though. Sonic was still in surgery when I left the hospital an hour ago. He'd been there for four hours."

The tears begin to fall more rapidly as Chief Parkinson speaks now. "He did a number on that robot, but nearly died in defeating it."

Amy falls to her knees, crying heavily now. "Can-Can I go s-see him?"

Tails smiles. "That's why I'm here. The others will visit on another day. Get going."

Nodding, Amy gets into Chief Parkinson's car. Doctor Alnilam joins them, and Chief Parkinson drives them to the hospital.

-Station Square Hospital, 30 minutes later-

The police car barely has time to stop moving before Amy's feet hit the ground. Amy's a blur of pink fur and a purple sundress as she darts into the hospital.

Running up to the desk, Amy pants her request. "Where's Sonic?"

The secretary taps a few keys on her keyboard. "He's in ICU Room 4."

Amy bolts to the door. The sign outside the door says "Sonic the Hedgehog". Slowly opening the door, Amy gasps and runs to her husband's side. Collapsing onto Sonic's limp body, Amy's body heaves as she cries, her voice broken by her sobbing. "Oh, Sonikku… Please speak to me… Please… Sonic I need you…."

There's no response, and Amy keeps crying. Suddenly the machine monitoring Sonic's heartbeat flat lined.

Amy nearly tears the door off its hinges when she opens it. "I need a doctor! Sonic's flat lining!" Two doctors enter with a defibrillator. Cranking up the machine, the doctors put the paddles on Sonic's chest. "Clear!"

Sonic's body jumps as the electricity shoots through his body. No change. The doctors repeat the process, and Sonic's heartbeat returns…. for 10 seconds. Amy walks to Sonic, a thoughtful look on her face.

The doctors give Amy a sympathetic look, and she looks back at them. "You may have given up, but I haven't."

Putting her hands gently on Sonic's chest, the sakura speaks to her cobalt husband. "Sonikku, over two years ago you saved my life with a kiss. It's time for me to return the favor."

Taking a breath, Amy gently presses her velvet lips to Sonic's lips. It takes a few seconds, but the machine does eventually start beeping again.

Beep….

Beep….

Beep….

The doctors watching would later swear they saw a yellowish glow where Amy's hands were touching Sonic's chest. The kiss breaks and Amy looks at the machine.

She smiles when she sees a heartbeat registering, and then she turns to the doctors. "Sonic will be fine."

Nodding, the two doctors leave the room. Once they do, Amy sends a text message to Tails. 'Tails, I'm staying with Sonic at the hospital tonight.'

The twin-tailed fox replies a few seconds later. 'Thanks for the update. Also, turn on the news. They're showing what happened.'

Amy nods and sends another message. 'Thank you very much for watching Dash. Sonic will live, but he'll be recovering for a long time.'

Tails replies: 'I'm very relieved. See you soon.'

Amy smiles and turns on the TV in Sonic's room. Sure enough, the news was showing what footage they could get their hands on.

The anchorwoman was relating the story. "From what we could gather, Robot Alnilam was left behind by Doctor Robotnik when he died. The robot was to carry on with attempting to achieve world domination in Robotnik's place."

Amy sighs, realizing Sonic was right. He'd had a bad feeling something was off, and now he'd been proven right. The anchorwoman turns to a firefighter at the scene and asked what happened.

The firefighter sighs. "Based on all the destruction, it was one hell of a fight. The robot and Sonic gave as good as they got. Sonic was glowing a yellow color and landing plenty of good hits. They fought so long that Sonic wound up returning to his normal blue color."

The anchorwoman nodded. "Can you tell us anything else?"

Shaking his head, the fireman went back to work. A bomb squad technician walks up and was interviewed.

"The robot had a self-destruct program in it. Since the battle was essentially a stalemate, the robot waited until Super Sonic became normal Sonic, the activated the self-destruct. Sonic was close enough that he bore the majority of the massive explosion."

The anchorwoman turns back to the camera. "There's no word as to whether or not Sonic survived. We'll keep you updated as we get more details."

Amy turns off the TV, turns off the lights, and climbs onto Sonic's bed. Giving Sonic a gentle kiss, Amy wraps herself in Sonic's arms. "Wake up soon, my love."

Soon Amy falls asleep, dreaming of Sonic and Dash.
