Author's Note: Ello! Cupcake here I updated so quickly OMG I AM THE UPDATE QUEEN KNEEL BEFORE YOUR RULER!
Sonic: Can we just get on with the story?
How do you keep getting in here?!
The battle was not over, it was never over "Sonic go left!" Chance yelled. Every time he thought that he could leave this god forsaken war he was thrust right back into hell. "Liz look out!" Sonic called as he flew down just in time to push her out of harms way. This war had caused so many deaths, and so much sorrow, "Chance get out of there!" There was only one reason Sonic still fought after 3 years of bloodshed, to keep this evil from ever reaching the innocents, and most importantly the people he loved.
Chance a brown and gold hedgehog who Sonic had become quite fond of managed to land a hit on Peculiar, yes the demon entity called herself Peculiar, even with her stupid name she was the most powerful enemy Sonic had ever faced. Just as Chance landed a hit on the demon she shifted, and Sonic could do nothing but watch in horror as the demon grew spikes on all parts of her body impaling Chance again, and again, and again, until finally he stopped glowing as he was detached from his super form and crumbled lifelessly to the ground. A pink Echidna let a strangled cry escape from her throat as the love of her life had just been struck down, and began firing her guns recklessly, managing to stun the demon. This was their chance, Sonic flew at the beast and performed his homing attack knocking her back towards the unstable ground that led to the dark chasm below.
Liz unstrapped her canon from her back and shot a powerful shot taking out the demon's legs. Sonic then did a tired smile, "It's time to go home" and with that he performed a final spin dash knocking Peculiar down into the deep dark abyss below, "It's over, it's finally over" Sonic said as he returned to his normal crawled over to Chance and began to sob gut wrenching cries of agony. The three year long war Sonic had been facing against this ancient evil was finally over. He could go back home to his family, his old life. "Go Sonic" said Liz. He slowly turned to look at Liz "You have people waiting for you, you've kept them waiting long enough" she said with a sad smile. Sonic placed and affectionate hand on her head and bid his comrade of three years farewell, because he knew he would never see her again. Then began to sprint as fast as he could his long quills trailing behind him as his jacket flapped in the breeze. He ran for two days straight never stopping for anything, the only thing that kept him going was the thought that all of the ones he loved would soon be right in front of him.
On his third day of travel he finally made it he was on the outskirts of his small town, but then he hesitated. "What will I do it's been three years, I couldn't tell anyone where I was going how will they react?" Sonic then balled up his fists and decided that he didn't care if they rejected him just seeing their faces again would be enough.
Sonic already knew where he needed to go first, he began running at breakneck speed to Tail's Workshop. When he reached his destination he was amazed by how different it looked. The one story shack was no more, in its place stood a three story masterpiece with a landing strip on the roof for what Sonic knew had to be Tail's plane. "How did he manage to do all of this?" Sonic said with a smile as he admired his best friend's new lab. As soon Sonic walked through the door he knew he was being watched. He looked across the room and saw a handsome fox in his early teens wearing a tool belt, cargo shorts, and an oil stained shirt looking back at him in amazement as his two tails swished behind him. "S-Sonic?" Tails said in his voice radiating happiness. "Hey Tails long time no see" Sonic said warmly. They immediately crossed the room and embraced "I can't believe it, you've been gone for three years none of us thought that you would ever come back man." Choked out Tails who was trying to hold back tears, but to no avail. "I know I'm sorry I had to, to protect the world and all of you." Sonic explained. As they finally pulled apart from there embrace neither of them could help smiling "So what have I missed" Sonic asked trying to lighten the mood.
"Oh my Mobius you've missed so much "Tails laughed, as Sonic plopped down on the couch in the common area. "Fill me in then you wise old fox" Sonic chuckled "I will but first you need to let everyone know that your back, it wouldn't be fair to the others for you to be here without them knowing" Tails stated. Sonic then hopped back off of the couch and started to go out the door "Hey" called Tails "Your coming back right? Your not gonna dissappear again? " He said softly." Sonic gave a soft smile "Wouldn't dream of it" and then ran out of the door. As Sonic was walking around outside he was surprised not to find anyone, it was one o' clock where the heck was everybody? Then suddenly Sonic began to hear the wonderful sound of a piano, it played a sweet beautiful melody he began to follow it because he knew that someone had to be playing it. When he finally reached the source of the music he stood in the doorway of a small studio, and watched in awe as a beautiful small rabbit in her early teens ran her fingers skillfully across the keys. When the song ended Sonic began to clap which turned out to be a huge mistake, because the young rabbit girl became startled, pulled out a bow and arrow and the last thing Sonic saw before black was the glint of recognition in the rabbit's eyes.
When Sonic awoke, he was met with Tail's blue eyes looking at him quizzically. "You really thought sneaking up on her was a good idea?" Tails chuckled. Sonic sat up feeling groggy "Since when does Cream have a bow and arrow, and how am I not dead she shot me right in the face" Sonic whined. Tails began to laugh "She hit you with a stun arrow, your first day back and you've already taken an arrow to the face by Cream" Tails laughter started to increase in volume when suddenly the door bursted open to reveal Cream standing there with tears in her eyes. She then ran and jumped on Sonic strangling him in a hug "I'm so sorry Mr. Sonic! I didn't know it was you! And you've been gone for so long where have you been!" Cream sobbed into Sonic's chest. Sonic then patted Cream's head "I know I've been gone Cream I had something really important to take care of I'm so sorry that I left, I'm never leaving you guys again." "Damn right you're not" said a deeper voice. Startled that the voice came from Cream he stopped patting her head, at that moment Knuckles, Rogue, and Shadow entered Tail's room. "Knocking would have been nice" laughed tails as Shadow ruffled his hair, and Rogue pried Cream off of Sonic. "Long time no see" said the Red Echidna with his arms crossed, he was more muscular and wore black gloves with black pants. "Knuckles I-"Sonic started "Knuckles put up a hand "No need heroes do what they gotta do right?" He stated with a sideways grin. Sonic beamed and then slyly said "Well since that doesn't matter, where's your shirt Old Spice?" Knuckle's smile faltered as Rogue, and Tails laughed, and Shadow who was visibly taller and wore a red shirt with black pants smirked.
"WAIT" Sonic said leaping off the bed and standing right in front of Shadow. "DID YOU JUST SMILE?!" Sonic said flabbergasted. Shadow did a small chuckle "Nice to see you too faker." "Ok first smiling now laughing what the hell happened while I was gone?!" Sonic screamed. Rogue began to waggle her eyebrows at Shadow "Don't Rogue you'll freak him out he won't get it." Warned Tails. Sonic then noticed that Rogue was now the same height as knuckles, her hair was down to her shoulders, and she wore a simple purple dress, "Wow everyone's changed so much, and I wasn't around for any of it" Sonic thought sadly. "Hey Sonic" said Tails snapping him out of his thoughts. "Some of our friends didn't see you get shot in the face by Cream, and don't know that you're here yet" Tails said with a smile. "Right!" Sonic said making a dash for the door "I'll see you guys in a bit!" He called form outside. "Let's pray that he doesn't go to Amy's house" Rogue sighed. "We should've just had Cream shoot him again" chuckled Knuckles. "I said it was an accident" Cream said rolling her eyes, while trying to hide a smile.
Sonic ran up to one story pink house, it was the one thing that seemed to have stayed the same. "What did I say to her while I was under the emerald's influence?" thought Sonic. He then shook his head "It'll be fine I can't have said anything that bad, I'll tell her I was manipulated by the emerald's power and things will be okay…" He assured himself. He knocked on the door, and waited, but was surprised when instead of Amy answering the door a pretty light tan hedgehog with short yellow hair, and blue eyes appeared in the doorway instead. "Can I help you? Are you one of Shadow's friends or something?" she asked sweetly. "Um, I'm sorry I thought someone else lived here her names Amy do you know where she is?" Sonic asked genuinely confused. The hedgehog gave Sonic a quizzical look "You must not be from around here, please state your business, and leave." she said while reaching into one of the pockets of her dress, all kidness leaving voice."N-no I mean no harm I'm a friend I promise I just talked with Shadow, Rogue, and Knux, you have nothing to be afraid of Ms..." Sonic then realized that he didn't know the girls name. "Oh I'm sorry how rude of me" exclaimed the hedgehog her sweet voice returning, causing Sonic to sigh in relief. "my name is-""Maria who's at the door?"A voice Sonic had been longing to here for three long years called from down the hallway, and then there she was, standing in the doorway her emerald green eyes boring into his.
This was far worse than anything Sonic could've hoped to happen when he finally saw Amy again, he was prepared for her to hit, cry, scream, but not just stand there and look at him as if he were some guy she saw on the corner of the street. "Hello Sonic" she stated very nonchalantly turning her head to the side as she did so her quills, which were now down to her lower back all swayed in one beautiful motion. "H-Hi Amy" Sonic said shifting nervously from foot to foot. "Wait this is Sonic?" Maria asked her sweet smiled once again starting to fade. "Wait." Sonic then thought "Maria?" He knew that name from somewhere, then Shadow smiling and laughing actually made sense "Wait how are you-""I'm sure Tails will explain it to you some other time" Amy stated pointedly. She then shifted her weight so that she was now leaning on the doorframe. Sonic couldn't help but notice beautiful she was, she wore denim shorts and a plain white T-shirt her long quills blowing carelessly in the breeze not tamed by a headband. "Take a picture it'll last longer" Amy spat. Sonic immediately snapped out of his dreamlike state. "S-sorry, I-I think I'm going to go back to Tail's workshop it was nice seeing you Amy!" Sonic then turned around and ran as fast as he could. Maria went back in the house but Amy stayed there leaning on the doorframe her eyes no longer holding anger just sadness.
"Alright so let me get this straight, when the Robotnick family was supposed to be eliminated they didn't kill Professor Robotnick so he took Maria's DNA and made her an ultimate life form?" asked Sonic. "Right" said Tails, "and you managed to find the location of the slumbering life form and teleport it to you lab." Sonic stated. "Exactly, it blows though because I broke my teleportation device in the process, but now we have Maria so I'm cool!" said Tails happily. "Tails that's incredible! "Exclaimed Sonic "Everything is amazing here there seems to be no strife whatsoever." Tail's face immediately darkened "Trust me Sonic Mobius is no paradise after you left Eggman decided that killing people would become his new hobby." "Wait what?" questioned Sonic. "Didn't you notice that the town looked kind of empty? We evacuated everyone only people who are capable of fighting off Egg man's attacks live here now." Tails stated sadly. Just then a tall attractive bumblebee walked in wearing an orange hoodie and, and cargo shorts, with a tired expression plastered to his face.
"Hey Charmy" said Sonic. Charmy's eyes regained their light as he sat down next to Sonic and said his greetings. "Wait Tails I don't understand why is it only you guys left aren't there more people capable of fighting Eggman? And why is Cream fighting?" Sonic asked getting more and more confused. "Charmy is the only surviving member of Team Chaotix they were all gunned down at one of Eggman's bases Chanrmy managed to escape because he could fly" Tails paused when he saw the horrified expression on Sonic's face. " Vanilla died saving Cream from a building that Eggman had set on fire, causing Cream to swear revenge, we can't stop her from fighting, plus she's become pretty damn good at it. " Sonic put his head in his hands "I wasn't here to protect them"he thought "maybe if I hadn't left, Cream would still have a mother, and Charmy would still have his family. " I'm sorry to interrupt your homecoming Sonic, but Eggman has set up a bomb in the main Town Square, if it detonates it will knock out the radios we built to communicate with the town that we sent the non fighters to we need to stop this now. " On it " said Tails as he jumped up and pressed a button on the coffee table. Both Charmy and Sonic ran outside behind Tails while the others quickly joined. Sonic noticed that Amy had taken out her hammer, he was about to ask Tails if she still shifted her hammer into her bow and arrow when the hammer warped and became a hoverboard that Amy jumped onto and rode skillfully. " How? " Sonic started " Amy became a complete and total bad ass after you left" chuckled Tails. "She's mastered changing her hammer into 6 different forms." She's amazing" Sonic said this time talking more so to himself.
When the team arrived at the town Square, Eggman had an army waiting for them. Maria pulled two double edged boomerangs out of het dress, and began decapitating every robot that she came in contact with. Rogue and Charmy battled the robots in the skys,while Cream never missed a shot from below. Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles were on the front lines destroying any robot they came in contact with . Tails finally found the location of the bomb, and tossed Amy a tablet showing the weapon's interior. Sonic watched in awe as Amy's hoverboard shifted into twin daggers, and she dropped onto a large mechs back cutting its head clean off. She then sommersaulted off of the corpse, and dived down the manhole leading to the sewer where the bomb was located. Sonic followed her thinking that she might need his help. "Sonic wait!" Called Tails, but he had already jumped down the hole after Amy.
As Amy ran towards the bomb she began to hear footsteps behind her. If Sonic had dodged a second later he would have been impaled by one of her daggers. " Sonic what are you doing here!" Amy said her face distorted in fury " You're getting in my way! " " Amy you can't just go charging into battle alone! That's dangerous. "Sonic said "Shutup Sonic! I need to concentrate"said Amy as she began diffusing the bomb. " Look Amy I know that your mad at me right now but I just want to say that I'm sorry. " " Sonic now is really not the time for this! " Amy said beginning to panic as there were only twenty seconds left until the bomb detonated. " Ok ok let me help you " said sonic. "Don't touch it! " Shrieked Amy, as soon as Sonic touched the wire the timer stopped. " Hey I did it! " Sonic said beaming happily. " No the bomb is supposed to disintegrate after being deactivated " stated Amy with a look of horror on her face. " Without a word Sonic scooped Amy up, and began to run as fast as he could. " Sonic this is not good! This is not good! " Amy kept yelling. When Sonic jumped out of the manhole the bomb detonated. The force of the explosion ripped Amy from Sonic's arms, and sent them both flying in two different directions. Sonic was thrown twenty feet into the air ,and then crashed into the wall of a building. " Somethings definitely broken" he winced when he tried to stand up. Sonic hadn't realized how large the bomb was until now. The ground was literally blown apart as his friends tried to escape the fiery deaths that awaited them if they fell. Charmy managed to grab Cream just before the ground collapsed beneath her. Tails, and Rogue flew the others to the roofs of buildings praying that they wouldn't collapse. " Sonic! " Screamed Tails snapping him from his daze like state " Where the hell is Amy? !"
Amy knew she was screwed as soon as she grazed the top of a building. " I can't fly " she thought, " I'm to weak to summon anything, damn this landing is gonna hurt ", and it did. Amy crashed into the pavement causing all of the muscles in her body to scream in protest, as black spots began to cloud her vision. She felt completely detached from herself, she hardly felt any pain anymore, the only thing that snapped her back into reality was the sound of a familiar voice screaming her name. " Well at least he's ok. " Amy thought as tears began to silently stream down her face. " How come no matter how hard I try I can't stop caring about you"she thought sadly. Then the ground shook, and Amy's ears began to ring. " Wow two explosions, Eggman's getting creative, hey I didn't know cars could fly. " she thought as a car flew about thirty feet in the air. Amy thought that it looked like a bird, a majestic and beautiful bird, until it decided to land on top of her.
