"OMFG, Sonic! Stop being such a pervert!" Amy slapped Sonic, leaving a big, red hand mark.

"Look! I can't help it if azngirlchibi likes Inuyasha!" retorted Sonic.

Suddenly, Ash Ketchum from Pokemon stepped in. "OMG! A pokemon! Must… catch…!" He threw a Poke-ball at Sonic, only to have Sonic escape the ball. "Aww! And it was so close too!" read the typing that appeared out of nowhere.

"WTF?" Sonic got pissed, and spin-dashed Ash. The typing changed to, "It's super-effective!" Ash fainted.

"Oh, Sonic! You saved me!" cried Amy, running towards Sonic with tears of joy in her eyes.

"Wha-a?" was all he got out of him before Amy gave him a kiss.

'I gotta save her more often…' Sonic thought to himself.

April Fools! Now on with the story! Oh, and I got the pokemon idea from I-PWN-AT-BASS. Read his story, "Computer Apocalypse!"

Metal Sonic barely looked up as a bright light appeared in the middle of the huge room he was in.

A figure emerged from the light - his arch-rival, and enemy, Sonic the hedgehog. He didn't bother standing up either when the hedgehog collapsed.

"S-Sonic!" cried a frightened voice.

Metal glanced briefly over at the pink hedgehog, who was frantically trying to shake Sonic awake.

"He won't wake up…" he said, in a mechanical, emotionless voice.

Amy jerked her head up. Her lips formed his name, and a frightened, scared look stole over her face.

The robot barely managed to surpass a smirk. He might as well toy with her… until Dr. Robotnik came back.

"What have you done with Sonic?" shouted Amy, trying to sound braver… way braver than she felt.

"Oh? You mean that piece of trash?" he asked lightly. "I didn't done anything… he went willingly."

Amy bit her lip, and shook her head. 'He's just toying with me. Sonic wouldn't do this… he wouldn't…'

Metal Sonic laughed, then seemingly appeared right beside the unconscious hedgehog.

"This… inferior thing… doesn't deserve to live," he sneered. He gave a mighty kick, and Sonic's body flew across the room.

Amy gasped, watching Sonic's body, frozen to the spot.

"Face it, he's a cold, cruel jerk," said Metal, giving Sonic another kick.

Amy trembled. 'Ya… he is…'

"He couldn't care less about you," he continued, punching his face.

'No… no he wouldn't…'

"You should've given up long ago, before you lost the chance!" He pinned Sonic by the throat onto the wall.

'Yes… I should've… before I…'

"He…"

'…before I…'

"…doesn't love you…"

'…BEFORE I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM!'

Wiping his hands on the wall, he turned around to face the trembling pink hedgehog. 'Why does the air… suddenly seem so cold…?'

Before the robot could react, a huge, storming whirlwind threw him high into the air.

'Damn! I was caught off-guard!' he thought angrily to himself, as his rocket boosters set him gently onto the ground.

Amy was standing in front of Sonic protectively, her hammer out. Her head was down, her bangs shadowing her eyes. Her voice came out as a low, carrying whisper. So low, even Metal had to strain his ears to catch it.

"Don't you dare… come near Sonic…"

Mechanical laughter filled the chamber. "An empty threat," chuckled the robot. Then, as if to prove his point, he charged towards Amy, who made no move to stop him.

'Just as I thought,' smirked Metal confidently. He threw a punch towards Amy.

Amy caught it.

Metal nearly gasped in surprise at the strength she had. He felt his hand being bent backwards, and wires ripping in his wrist. "I said," she whispered, "STAY AWAY!" With all her might, she swung her hammer at Metal Sonic. Hard.

Metal Sonic picked himself painfully up from the hole that he created in the wall. "Why are you protecting that piece of crap?" he asked. From his tone of voice, you would've thought that nothing had happened.

Amy's eyes flashed. "When you love someone… when your love for that person is so deep that it hurts… you would protect that person, no matter what."

"It's a useless emotion," snarled Metal Sonic. He flew towards the girl. "You're a fool!" He bent down and delivered a sweeping kick.

Amy didn't move, but instead brought down her hammer. "Tornado Hammer!" she cried out.

The huge tornado appeared again, and Metal Sonic was sent flying up, the tornado causing rips to appear in his armor. He landed flat on his back, and he wasn't prepared for Amy to come flying out of nowhere and hitting him with a spin-dash.

Amy felt like she was on fire. She was enraged… enraged that this robot spoke of Sonic like he was nothing, enraged that he tried to toy with her mind, enraged that he would toy with Sonic's. Without stopping, she shouted, "Storming Heart!" She jumped back as waves of energy started pounding Metal Sonic deeper and deeper into the ground.

She was about to deliver the finishing blow. "Amy Fla-" but she felt something suddenly course through her, setting every nerve over the edge. Fireworks started appearing in front of her eyes… and then, she fell beside Sonic.

'Sonic…' her dimly lit mind breathed. 'I'm sorry… I wasn't strong enough…' she tried to reach out towards Sonic, then cried in pain as someone stepped on her hand.

"You… you're as useless as that meddling hedgehog," sneered Robotnik. Amy looked up to see him holding some sort of gun in his hands.

"You…" she croaked out. Then, her vision blurred, and she her mind blacked out.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

"Knuckles…" said Cream weakly. "That's not going to save Amy…or Sonic…"

Knuckles stopped punching the wall long enough to retort back. "Well, sitting there isn't going to help either!" He resumed punching the wall.

"Look Knuckles," said a calm Shadow. "I want to get them both back too…"

"Yeah, right!" growled Knuckles. "You could be on Robotnik's side, for all we know!"

Shadow's blood red eyes flashed dangerously. "Care to repeat that?"

"Boys!" intervened Rouge, before Knuckles could take a step towards him. "This isn't the time!"

"She's right," put in Tails. "We need to figure out a way to help, not fight each other!"

For a second, it looked like Knuckles was about to refuse, but then he sighed and sat down beside Rouge. "It's just so… frustrating!"

Shadow nodded slowly… but it didn't seem that he was agreeing to Knuckles. "When did Sonic start to disappear again?"

"4 days ago," replied Tails, looking curious.

"Hmm…" he muttered, his voice trailing off. "I think… just maybe…"

"Spit it out!" shouted an already-strained Knuckles.

"Maybe… the Chaos Emerald is reacting to Sonic…"

There was a silence. Then, suddenly, Knuckles jumped up. "Of course! That would explain why Sonic stole the Master Emerald!"

Cream was looking confused. Knuckles must've saw her face, because he continued, "Say someone wanted to control him using the Chaos Emeralds… they would have to have Sonic only absorb their negative energy, but since Sonic already knows how to absorb their positive energy, he would need something to negate that positive energy… something like…"

"The Master Emerald!" finished Tails for Knuckles.

"Right," he nodded. "But for the Chaos Emeralds, that's not natural. They have to have a good balance of both negative and positive energy. The other Chaos Emeralds must've sense the imbalance, and started reacting to the amount of negative energy coming off of Sonic that he absorbed. But what I don't get is…" he hesitated.

"What is it?" asked Rouge.

"How did he get controlled in the first place? They would need to steal the Master Emerald first… but Sonic stole it after he went under someone's control… besides, trying to negate all the positive energy in the Emeralds is a huge risk in the first place."

"Well…" said Rouge. "There's only one person who hates him enough to risk it, isn't there?"

"Eggman!" spat out Tails.

A/N: Oooh... my fingers... (looks at casts around fingers) Poor fingers... They hurt from typing...

I hope this was worth your time!
