First off, thank you so much for all the reviews so far!
And...
Sorry guys! I had writer's block and I couldn't figure how I should write Dr. Eggman's last attack in this story…the end of the story is coming soon, after all! Enjoy~
val: I'm so sorry for not updating sooner. Haha.
ShadowsAngel1: Thank you^^ Your review means a lot too me!
TailsLovesCream: Haha. I'm glad the story is getting better! It's definitely getting crazier!
BlackPetals23: I'm sighing with you^^ Lol. I love shadamy scenes.
Amy roxs1: Yep! It's about time, too!
Gloomy Shadows: Cream really is odd in this story. But so are a lot of others... c'est la vie!
ballandcup: Don't worry! I wouldn't leave the girls permanently like that. Although…there might be a few side effects…
(Amy Rose)
It was odd really. Maybe Rouge had been right when she said that Dr. Eggman went mental. The evidence was obviously in his latest inventions pranking around the city. Pranking? Yes. Pranking. Not trying to set buildings on fire, not stealing anything from any store or house, and certainly not hurting anyone. Well…Amy took the last part back. Eggman's robots were hurting people, but not in a way you would think they would, considering that they were supposedly death-machines created by an evil villain. This goes back to that first word Amy thought about earlier: pranking.
Dr. Eggman's robots were pranking the citizens.
Large, completely evil-looking robots with spikes and missiles ran around tugging people's hair, ringing doorbells only to run away as soon as they did so, jumping out of bushes to scare little children, and anything else you could possibly do to play a trick. The whole scene was completely ridiculous! She turned to Shadow to tell him so but all she could express was a speechless/annoyed strangling sound that was like a cat jumping out of the water only to land in a dump.
Shadow glanced at her without turning his head and raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"This screws up everything! How am I supposed to get my perfect revenge when my enemy isn't sane enough to feel the pain?!" Amy screamed.
"Just do what Rouge is doing." He replied.
The two hedgehogs looked at their batty friend to see her going around sticking 'Kick Me!' signs on the robots' backs, whole-heartedly joining in the badly timed April Fool's Day.
"…They should be 'Shoot Me!' signs." Amy grumbled.
Without another word, she brought out her trusty hammer.
Shadow raised both of his eyebrows. "You're going to shoot them with a hammer?"
Amy grinned, curling her lips up in a feral way that got Shadow uncontrollably lusting after her again. The object of his desire leapt away before he could wrap his arms around her and suggest a different activity to toy with for the next two or three hours. The pink hedgehog dove after robot after robot, slamming her hammer down on their heads as if she was playing a larger version of Whack-A-Mole. Shadow felt a bit bitter for not moving fast enough. However, he was compromised with the spectacular view of Amy Rose in her battle mode. The complete abandonment of rules got his tail wagging slightly.
'And she's all mine…' he thought to himself. 'I won't be handing her over to anyone.'
Sadly for Shadow, Amy's battle cries did nothing to keep their location a secret to the other males in Amy's spell. The moment he caught wind of the biggest pest, he was off to establish his claim, joining in the chaos building up in the city.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ (Meanwhile)
Amy was having a blast. The robots barely fought back and there were millions of them so to her, it was like being in the arcade and playing all of the available games at once. And the best part was, she could not lose. On the other hand, she desperately wished Eggspoil would show his face already so that she could scramble it. She wasn't feeling too friendly at the moment.
As if the skies heard her wish, Dr. Eggman decided to descend in his large ship.
"Hey, Eggman!" Amy shouted at the large mechanism. "Come here so I turn you into MY BREAKFAST!"
A loud speaker tuning up was heard and then, "Testing. 1. 2. 3. Testing. Is this working?"
Amy lowered her hammer in disbelief. 'Was he always this stupid?'
"Amy Rose!" Dr. Eggman's voice boomed over the city. "How is my latest lab rat?"
"If you're talking about that stupid ray beam thing, it didn't work!" Amy huffed, wanting to go to more interesting things—like cracking Eggman, for example.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Eggman crowed. "It seems it worked perfectly!"
Amy's head tilted in confusion until she followed Dr. Eggman's gaze to see the hoard of zombies Shadow was struggling to keep back.
"You're the one who made me run around a haunted house?!" Amy screeched.
'Oh. It's on!' she thought, glaring.
She pushed off from the ground only to get her ankles ensnarled by none other than… Sonic the Hedgehog. Amy crashed onto the pavement ungracefully. For a moment, the world froze: There was Dr. Eggman, cracking up at Amy's dilemma. There was Sonic, who was wild with happiness at having finnaly caught his pink angel. There was Shadow, who had just let his guard down in shocked annoyance at having allowed Sonic through. There was the group of zombies, getting past Shadow, finally. And then there was Rouge, knowing full well what Amy was thinking at the moment.
'Sssooonniiiiiicc!' Amy screamed in her head.
(Rouge the Bat)
Rouge flinched at Amy's anger. Her pink friend's face may be kissing the pavement, but if you couldn't taste the bitter fury storming off Amy, you needed to see a doctor. However, when one was blinded by love/lust, one was not sane. The males rushed at Amy and began to flood her with gifts and proclamations of love, both innocent and not so innocent.
Amy slowly got up from the ground. Her clothes were tattered and dirtied, but she didn't seem to notice.
Rouge saw it coming.
As soon as the first guy reached out his hand to stroke her arm in order to get her attention, Amy snapped and her anger was physically released. Her hand shot out to clamp down on the intruding hand. The guy's eyes widened with hope.
And then he was flung high.
Everyone watched his body crash onto the lowest part of Eggman's ship and then proceed to slide down. He was ok.
That made Amy angry.
"AUGH! YOU STUPID EGGJERK, MAKING STUPID ZOMBIES TRY TO EAT ME AND SCARING ME TO DEATH!" Amy screamed as she flung the said 'zombies' one by one at Eggman's ship. "COME DOWN HERE SO I CAN KILL YOU , YOU ROTTEN TIMEBOMB!"
Eggman laughed. "Funny that you mentioned timebombs!" he said with glee. "If you haven't noticed, you're surrounded by my timebombs! Thank you so much for luring half of the entire country's male population to this specific city. All according to plan! MUHAHAHA!"
Rouge's eyes went wide and she quickly surveyed their surroundings and sure enough there they were. The timebombs were encoded within every inch of the robots that were pranking around. It didn't help that most of them were in pieces scattered throughout the city, thanks to Amy and her hammer.
'Guess Dr. Eggman didn't go mad…' Rouge thought. 'If anything… he got a little smarter…'
The first bomb went off with a loud explosion and a tower collapsed a few meters away. Rouge's eyes grew even wider.
-A t.v. nearby Knuckles fizzled on: "LATEST NEWS: THE CITY IS GOING TO BLOW UP!"
"No duh!" Knuckles yelled at it.-
"Miss Amy!" Rouge screamed. "Do something! Dr. Eggman is going to blow us all up!"
Amy hissed. "What do want me to do?!"
Shadow took over. "Sonic! We've got to try and get rid of the bombs!"
Sonic snapped out of his reverie and nodded towards Shadow. The city was soon streaked with black, red, and blue. Unfortunately, the bombs went off almost as fast as the two hedgehogs. Rogue bombs were left to explode and crumble skyscrapers. Then, one exploded the building closest to Rouge.
"Rouge!" Amy shouted.
Rouge didn't stop and turn around. She ran as fast as she could towards Amy. A shadow cast over her and she panicked even more. She wasn't going to make it! She shut her eyes and willed her legs to go faster. Faster. Almost there. Just a few more feet? Just when she thought she was safe, a powerful force slammed against her.
Rouge didn't dare open her eyes.
"Rouge?"
Rouge shut her eyes tighter. There was no way she was alive now.
"Rouge. It's ok. You're safe."
Rouge peeked open one eye and saw Knuckles' amethyst eyes. "K-Knuckles? You saved me?"
"Of course I did!" Knuckles sighed in relief.
"But I thought you were under Amy's spell!" Rouge breathed.
"Uh. Yeah, sorry about that." Knuckles said apologetically. "I snapped out of it though!"
Rouge smiled happily.
Knuckles smiled back but then realized something. "Hey! You just called me 'Knuckles' without the 'Mister' part!"
Rouge blinked and then blushed. "Ahh… Um… S-Sorry…"
No, it's ok! I prefer it that way!" Knuckles grinned. "You know, I've never seen you blush like this before. Maybe this whole personality switch thing was for the better."
"No! It is not!" a new voice shouted. "Chaos needs to end now!"
It was Tails.
(Cream the Rabbit)
Tails pointed a shaky finger first at Rouge then Amy. "You two need to come back to my lab so we can switch your personalities back! You hear me? I can't take everyone acting crazy anymore!"
Everyone just blinked slowly at Tails.
"Um. Kind of end the middle of a battle right now, Tails!" Amy pointed out. "Let me get my revenge first."
"There's no time for that!"
"One always has time for revenge!"
Dr. Eggman just continued to watch the amusing scene safely up in his ship. The Sonic team fighting each other… this day just couldn't get any better! Who cares if he didn't successfully destroy the entire city? This was much more amusing!
Then suddenly, an alarm went up.
"WARNING! WARNING! SYSTEMS DOWN!"
"What? W-What happened?!" Dr. Eggman screamed as he frantically pushed a series of buttons and checked all his screens. That was when he caught sight of a camera screen. From it, Cream the Rabbit was smiling sweetly at Dr. Eggman and waving. Dr. Eggman screamed like a little girl as his ship crashed down into the city.
Tails and Amy stopped arguing just in time to see Dr. Eggman crawl out from the remains of his ship. After shaking his head free of dust, Cream flew down from nowhere and stood on his head.
"Are we done here now?" Cream asked. "I don't like making Tails angry for long periods of time." Then she blew a kiss to Tails and smiled lovingly.
Tails blinked and gave a small smile back. He lifted his hand in a small wave of thanks.
Cream clutched her hands to her heart and swooned. Grabbing Eggman's collar, Cream shook him as she squealed. "You saw that? Did you see that? Sigh. I hope I'm still in love with him after everything goes back to 'normal'!"
'I hope so too,' Tails thought.
Amy, Rouge, and Shadow stared in disbelief. Not Knuckles, since he already knew.
"Tails. Did you just say Amy and Rouge switched personalities?" Shadow demanded.
"And Cream." Knuckles said.
"Will they have any memories of their times with the different personalities?"
"Um. I'm not sure." Tails answered.
Shadow's face shut down as his eyes flared with dark emotions. Tails swallowed nervously.
Haha. Sorry about the really short Cream part. But the next chapter will be the last and it will have a larger Cream the Rabbit part. I wrote a lot for this chapter! I'm quite proud and I hope you enjoyed it!
