Chapter 6: Battle with Eggman

"Amy?" Sonic said as he knocked on the door of her house, "Amy I know you're in there," he tried opening the door, it was unlocked, so he let himself in, "Amy?" Sonic then noticed that the furnature had been thrown everywhere, papers were on the floor, things were smashed. There was a struggle here. "Amy?" Sonic was beggining to sound more frantic, "Amy!?" He then came across a note in the back room. He picked it up and started to read:

Dear rodent,

As you might have guessed, it is I, Doctor Eggman who has kidnapped Amy Rose. Come to Mt. Mobius before 6:00pm, three days from today. If you fail to show up by this time, your girlfriend will be executed, I decieve you not. It ends here. 6:00pm, hedgehog.

~Doctor Eggman~

Sonic began to shake with rage. The paper crumpled in his hand as it closed to a fist. What time is it? Sonic noticed a clock on the floor 5:36, it read, and the letter was dated three days ago. There was still time. He could get the others.

---------------

They were all gathered, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Axel, Blaze and Silver infront of Mt. Mobius. Axel and Silver were exchanging dirty looks. "What time is it Tails?" Sonic asked.

"5:51" Tails replied quickly.

"Shadow, can you teleport us up there?" Sonic pointed to the top of the mountain.

Shadow nodded, then raised his hand, he had Axel's chaos emerald from Tails' dimensional travel machine, "Chaos... control!"

In a green flash of light they all stood before Eggman, he was in the machine that he used to kidnap Amy before. Amy was tied up inside the cockpit with him. "I'd say its good tto see you hedgehog, but i wouldn't want to lie..." the booming voice blasted from the machine, "I have six of the seven chaos emeralds, more than enough to stop you and your friends."

"You're gonna pay this time Eggman!" Sonic super spinned straight into the cockpit, but bounced off harmlessley. "Hohohoho! You're feeble attacks cant stop me!" The robot moved infront of Sonic at near light speed, and punched him straight and the face, sending him plummiting to the ground. "Sonic!!!" Amy's voice was audible from the cockpit, Sonic could hear her weeping but was too hurt to move. Knuckles and Shadow were next, again they went for the cockpit, but the missiles that came out of the back of the robot were too quick. However Shadow had one last ditch attempt to destroy the robot. "Chaos..."

"Shadow! Stop Amy's in there!" Tails cried.

"Blast!!!" A giant red explosion engulfed the machine, and eventually the dust settled, Shadow had fainted from exhaustion, but the explosion had not so much as damaged the robot's paintwork. "We've got no chance!" Tails shouted to the conscoius members of the group, "We need to take the others and leave!"

"And leave Amy for dead?" Axel shouted, "I have a pla- AH!" the robot had just taken Blaze out for the count.

"BLAZE!!!" Axel and Silver screamed. Then looked at each other.

"I knew it!" Silver picked Axel up telekinetically "You bastard!"

"Hohoooh!" Eggman laughed, entertained by the show before him.

"Put him down Silver." Sonic had summoned the strength to stand up.

"But I could... I could!" Silver stuttered, part of him wanted to kill Axel.

"This is no time to fight each other Silver!" Although injured, Sonic's voice was still firm and demanding. "Put - him - down." Silver obeyed hesitantly. "Now Axel, you said you had a plan."

"I'm already on it!" Axel grinned and grabbed his chaos emerald. I hope this works. "Chaos control!" A flash of white light appeared before them, and the other chaos emeralds circled Axel. "It worked!" Axel beamed.

"Of course!" Tails was amazed, "Since the emeralds attract each other, with chaos control they can be transported to each other in short range!"

"Good job, Axel, I can take it from here." said Sonic, as the seven emeralds began to circle around him.

"Wha-!" Eggman stared at the place where the chaos emeralds were in disbelief, "NO!"

An explosion of light erupted from Sonic. Axel, Tails and Silver had had to cover thier eyes, the light faded, and before them stood Super Sonic, a yellow aura of energy burst from him with the occasional blue spark erupted from him.

"It ends here Eggman." his red eyes connected with the evil madman's goggles.

"You've got that right hedgehog!" Eggman threw a switch and another missile came from behind the robot. But Super Sonic just put his hand forward and it bounced of him harmlessley. Then, with a yell and a burst of energy he blasted straight through the machine's belly.

"Sonic!" Tails pointed at the cockpit, "If the pressure builds up in that cockpit it'll explode!"

But Super Sonic already had it covered. In a light speed action Amy was in his arms and the robot had been kicked miles away.

"Axel, Tails, Silver, take the others home, I need some time with Amy."

They did as instructed, Silver hesitantley let Axel carry Blaze.

Sonic put Amy down, still in his super form. Amy smiled at him, "Thanks for saving me..."

"Hey, its what i do." Sonic returned her warm smile, then cleared his throat. "Amy, I... I...err.."

"Tell me." Amy's voice was soothing, and assured Sonic that what he was about to say was true.

"I love you."

"You love me?"

"Yes!"

Then Amy kissed him, Sonic kissed as back his eyes slowly closed and he leaned forward, trying to get a good feel for it. He could tell that Amy was crying. Her arms wrapped around his neck and he put his arms around her back.

They parted slowly. Each felt comforted and secure in each others arms, and they gazed into each others eyes.

"I love you too, Sonic the Hedgehog."

Sonic finally ran out of rings, and returned to his normal form, yet the warm aura was still there.

Sonic walked Amy home, walked back to his house, and sat on his bed...

"YES!!!"
