Fierce

Chapter 5: Triumph

"Nice, Amy!"

Sonic threw a fist up in the air as the pink hedgehog threw well coordinated punches at the newly patched punching bag. Nearly all of her punches hit, and while she still had a long way to go, Amy had managed to relax her body a lot more. Anger which previously fueled her actions was now replaced with drive.

Having fun, Sonic sped around her to check her stance. Noticing that her right arm was bent slightly awkwardly, he made an attempt to fix it by gently pushing her elbow up.

However, a chill went up her spine at his touch, surprising her. And well, Sonic was pretty surprised too. After all, it's not everyday a girl responds to a simple touch with a punch to the face.

Faster than Sonic himself, Amy had twisted around and delivered a sharp punch to his nose, which he now held in both hands as blood began to trickle out. Gasping, Amy immediately rushed to his aid, whispering her apologies.

"Oh my god, Sonic..."

"I didn't mean to...I just got surprised..." Amy sniffled, trying to hold in the cries that manifested within her throat. Sonic couldn't help but offer her a small smile at how much she clearly cared about him. It was always written all over her face.

"Don't sweat it, Amy." Sonic quickly regained his composure and jumped to his feet. Amy also stood up, now looking ashamed. She fixed her gaze on the ground, and a tear still threatened to fall.

Before anything else could be said though, a barely audible noise caused both hedgehog's ears to twitch in recognition. It was the voice of a person, and a very familiar one at that. Sonic nodded to Amy to signal her to follow him.

The two hedgehogs had been in Amy's small basement where she held all of the supplies she had bought for her training program, and they now emerged from the staircase onto her first floor. The shouts grew louder as Sonic's face held more and more agitation.

"I don't know why," he whispered, "but I can't hear where it's coming from."

Amy, though confused at first, swiftly realized the source of Sonic's annoyance. The voice seemed to be reverberating off of every wall of the house, sound converging only at the center of the room where the two hedgehogs stood, now cornered by walls of sound.

The shouts grew louder, and finally, Amy was able to make out the source.

"It's Tails!" Now panicking, Amy headed towards where she thought his cries originated from, before she actually realized what he was saying. Sonic, however, did not, most likely due to a lack of caring because he wanted to save his friend, and that he himself was traveling faster than Tails' words could reach him.

"It's a trap!"

"Don't come any closer!"

Too late.

Sonic was suddenly trapped by a steel cage that was placed all too conveniently. And as if on cue, Doctor Eggman made his appearance.

"Well what do we have here?" The evil doctor cackled. "A pet finally returned to his cage!" Eggman smirked as Sonic immediately began to spindash into the sides of the cell. This only egged the doctor on even further.

"Ha! As if you, a mere rodent, could get through solid granite bars!" As Eggman continued to bask in his own brilliant plan, laughing and rolling with glee, Sonic finally took notice of his fox friend. Tails was strapped down to a chair, struggling and squirming beneath the chains that constricted him. Sonic gritted his teeth in anger.

"Sonic!"

Oh no...

Without a second thought, Amy Rose finally made her appearance. She dashed into the room with extraordinary speed, surprising the old egg. He had only prepared two traps, not one for this pesky pink hedgehog!

"Amy!" Sonic shouted, worrying immensly. "You can't do this alone! Run away and get Knuckles!"

However, instead of caring for his concern of her well being, Amy grew annoyed. "Like hell I'll run away! I'm going to crack that egg wide open!" She readied her hammer in her trembling hands. "I'm not as weak as you think I am!"

'Silly girl,' Eggman mused, 'She's never actually been able to stand up to me. Why everytime she's tried-'

WHACK

The doctor was ripped from his thoughts to feel the blow of a giant hammer against the side of his small ship. Utterly confused, the doctor glared at the pink fiend. He was up so much higher than she, and usually in situations like this her blows failed to hit!

Amy didn't show any signs of wear from the ground; she heeded Sonic's advice, and managed to not use all of her strength in one blow.

"Now you let my husband go!"

Upon hearing her words though, Sonic was suddenly blushing and sweating. "Oh God, someone please get me out of here!" Panicking, Sonic began to smack against the sides of the cell to hide his own embarrassment. Sudden statements like that could easily fluster him.

Amy, meanwhile, swung at Eggman like he was a pinata, but the doctor still refused to release her friends. She smirked, expecting this.

"Well of course you wouldn't release them," she began, "so I will!~"

Eggman could only scoff at the girl's foolishness and laugh. "And how do you propose to break solid granite?" He knew he had her beat.

Until, that is, she produced a diamond saw from a tool belt laying nearby.

The doctor smacked himself on the top of his head: of course Tails had stuff like this laying around his workshop!

Before he could even get himself together, Amy had already sliced one of the bars keeping Sonic in captivity. Forgetting the embarrassment from earlier, Sonic was able to now slide through the cell and stand up tall to face his foe.

"Whaddya gonna do now, Eggy?" Sonic stuck out his tongue at Eggman while grinning madly.

Eggman simply stared. What was he going to do now? "Actually," he admitted, "I don't really know." He hadn't expected things to get this out of hand, and Amy's appearance was most certainly not warranted. The original plan was to capture Sonic and make a robot break his leg...or something.

"Well, next time I'll know exactly how to defeat you! And you..." Eggman's eyes narrowed at the fierce pink girl that beamed her hatred into his eyes. "I'll make sure to take extra care to make you suffer..."

And just like that, with the push of a button Eggman was gone.

Woah here it goes...Amy could be in trouble!

The central plot starts here hehehe.
