Chapter 9: Day of Reckoning

In the Last Year of Peace, something happened that none of Sonic's friends had ever suspected; Sonic proposed to Amy. Sonic, realizing that time was precious, thought that waiting too long would only lead to breaking Amy's heart. So, in March of that year, he proposed. Naturally, she accepted, and they were married in the same month.

Now, on November 7th, 2017, Sonic was relaxing in his apartment, not even thinking of the vision he had or of the evil on the horizon. By that time, Amy was 7 months pregnant, and Sonic was most concerned about what to name their child. However, on this day, the peace they had enjoyed would be shattered.

At 12:00 pm, a mysterious note was slid under Sonic's front door. When Amy opened the door, however, nobody was there. Concerned, she ran upstairs to find Sonic.

"Sonic!" she yelled.

"Amy, what's wrong?" Sonic asked. "You look scared; are you alright?"

"Sonic, I found this note slid under the front door. I went to check the door, but no one was there. I think this note is from Eggman, but I can't be sure."

"What? Why would Eggman send me a note?"

Amy then handed Sonic the note. Oddly enough, the handwriting on the note looked a lot like his. On the note, it said;

Sonic the Hedgehog,

I regret to inform you that today is the day you will die. Unless you want to see all of Mobius destroyed, meet us in the Green Hill Zone at 3:00 pm. Also, you should bring some friends; you're going to need them if you want even a chance to survive.

Ciao,

Blur the Hedgehog

At that point, Sonic knew what had happened; Eggman had used his blood to clone him. Seeing no other alternative, he decided to seek out the clones.

"Amy, wait here for me, okay?" Sonic said with concern. "If anything happens, call me."

"But, what about the others?" Amy asked. "You can't just charge into battle alone!"

Then, Sonic embraced Amy in a hug. "Don't worry, Amy. I promise you I'll come home, one way or another."

With one last kiss, Sonic rushed off to fight the clones alone. However, for once in his life, Sonic was truly afraid.
