Only two new reviews since Chapter 2. A lot of story alerts though.

A while had passed before I could see our hang-out in the area come into view. It was a house that almost has the same blue color as the sky. It had a large basement that Tails had converted into a hidden laboratory where he worked on our plane - the Tornado, and other types of vehicles, machinery, and gadgets. My little twin-tailed buddy began to drop his altitudeas soon as we were a few inches from the roof and landed me safely on the front step under our door.

When he made sure that I was content sitting on the ground (even though the stone step felt cold), Tails let go of my hands and let his feet land next to me on the step while he stopped spinning his namesake. As soon as he did, he unlocked the door, turned the knob, and pushed the door open all the way. Then, he put my left arm around his shoulder giving me support to walk into the house and over to the sofa. Man, did my legs hurt! It was such a relief to finally rest them.

"Are you going to be okay, Sonic?" Tails asked me. "Do you need anything?"

"I'll be fine," I told him. "I just need to rest my legs for a while."

Tails walked out of the living room and went up the stairs to his bedroom. As soon as he was gone, I stared at the ceiling, thinking about Amy. If the Amy we came across was really a clone, what had happened to the real Amy? Was she okay? My head filled with worry from those thoughts. If Amy had been taken somewhere, I was going to find her.

I was so beat up that it was hard for me to stay awake. After all that had happened that night, I decided to rest my eyes for a little while. It was just too much of a struggle for me to keep them open.

(Knuckles)

What have I done? I'm such an idiot!

I couldn't get those thoughts out of my head. My guilt had completely taken over me. Fighting my tears was futile. I just couldn't control myself like when I attacked Amy earlier that night. I thought that Sonic was dead! How would I ever forgive myself for that?

"Quit the waterworks, echidna and START TALKING!"

The cold, angry voice of Shadow caused me to open my watery eyes and look once again at the jet black hedgehog still pointing his gun at me. The guilt of killing Sonic was eating me inside and Shadow was threatening to shoot me if I made any attempt to get free.

Things just can't get any worse!

That's what I thought until I heard the sound of a window smashing out in the hallway. Shadow and I both turned our attention to the door and saw a flash of a familiar green light blast the door open.

Oh no! Please don't let it be...

It was. The last person I wanted to see. Typhoon. His dark blue eyes were filled with anger as he turned them towards Shadow. The red-streaked hedgehog did the same thing like he was the echidna's reflection in a mirror.

"You!" They both said it at the same time.

"I thought you'd be dead by now!"

"I'm going to make sure you're dead hedgehog!"

Once they had finished speaking coldly to each other, the both of them had gone into attack mode. Shadow aimed his gun at Typhoon and fired at him. The dark gray echidna dodged the laser blast and returned fire by shooting a blast of green energy at his attacker. Shadow dodged the attack and tried to shoot at him again.

Both of them kept repeating the process like it was a practice routine. Shadow would shoot at Typhoon, Typhoon would dodge it, he would fire at Shadow, Shadow would dodge it, and they would do the same thing all over again. It was like that was all they could do. The two of them just kept shooting at each other like it was the only thing that mattered.

Did they forget that I was restrained to the surgical table and was unable to move? It was like they didn't even know that I was there! Neither of them couldn't have freed me or at least pushed me into the hallway so I wouldn't have been in their war zone?

Finally, Shadow put an end to the repetitive routine by crying out, "Chaos Control!" and vanishing from sight in a blinding white radiance. Typhoon didn't look surprised at all. His cobalt blue eyes had changed to the eerie green color of the energy he blasted me with. He took his left hand and I could see the bright green energy glowing in his now clenched fist.

"You're not pulling that same trick on me again hedgehog!"

What is he talking about? I thought. Has he seen Shadow do this before?

He must have because he knew that Shadow was going to appear behind him. When he did, Typhoon somehow released the energy in the form of a tornado behind him. The newly made green whirlwind sucked the red-streaked hedgehog into it and twirled him around the same way Sonic's did to me during our fight on the beach. Shadow was spun around the room until the whirlwind came to the wall, slamming him into it and causing him to fall to the floor. The hedgehog groaned as he tried to get up.

Typhoon grabbed a key hanging by the destroyed doorway. (Wow! The blast didn't cause the key to fall down?) Then, he turned back towards me and walked over to the surgical table that I was restrained on. He fitted the key into each of the locks on the shackles, causing them to open and freeing me.

I stood up on the table and let my feet touch the floor. As soon as I was standing up straight again, Typhoon grabbed the wrist on my right arm.

"Come on! We have to go back to the island!"

Before I could ask him why, he ran out of the room, yanking me along. He led us through the hallway, down the stairs, and right out the front doorway of the building.

When he stopped, I asked him, "Typhoon, what is wrong with you? Why do we need to go back to the island? The sun's not coming up for another hour."

He replied, "Knuckles, we have to go back! Now!"

"You echidnas aren't going anywhere!"

The both of us turned our heads to see an angry Shadow down the hallway of the building, aiming his laser gun at us. The anger in his eyes and his finger on the trigger showed us that he had lost his patience and had resorted to killing us. Typhoon's eyes began to turn the eerie glowing green color of that strange energy that he was creating in his hands at that very moment. He raised both of them above his head and let the energy form into a ball of green fire that was gaining in size every second. An unearthly wind began blowing around him as if he was the eye of a hurricane.

What is he doing? I thought. Whatever he was doing was making me worry. It looked like he was building up his power for something destructive.

Just as Shadow was about to pull the trigger on his gun, Typhoon finally released the energy from his hands and sent it down the hallway of the building. We both watched the bright green cannon ball-sized energy shoot down the hallway and towards Shadow's feet. The jet black hedgehog jumped in the air, dodging the blast.

"You missed!" he said to his attacker.

"I wasn't aiming at you."

When Shadow heard that, he turned his head towards the green fireball just in time to see it hit a cylinder of gas. Typhoon grabbed my wrist again and dragged me out of the building before the gas cylinder exploded. When I looked back, I could see Shadow still inside, lying helplessly on the floor with the fire from the explosion not too far behind him.

Typhoon let my arm go and placed his hands on the ground with his eyes turning that eerie green color.

Oh no! Not again!

There was rumbling as the ground around the building started to shake and crumble like in an earthquake. I saw Shadow look up at the ceiling as it began to fall. Before he could say "Chaos Control!," the building had caved in, burying the fire and him along with it.

I couldn't believe my eyes! I just saw Shadow be buried alive under a building! Even though he had been threatening to kill me, I couldn't help feeling sorry for him. It's very disturbing to see somebody be crushed by a building before your very eyes.

Typhoon placed his hand on my wrist (again) and tried to take me back with him. But this time, his grip felt kind of loose and he looked like he had been drained of all his strength. Was he suffering from the same thing I was before I bit Amy earlier that night?

"What's wrong with you?" I asked him.

"Knuckles, I'm very weak. That blast and quake I did took a lot of energy out of me."

"You mean you can hardly move or attack anybody?"

"Yeah."

"Good! That's just what I wanted to know!" I jerked my arm free of Typhoon's grasp. Then, I took my fist and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. Now that he was lying helplessly there, I turned away from him and started to head back to Angel Island.

"Knuckles! You can't leave me here!" Typhoon called out to me with some sorrow in his voice.

"Sure I can!" I shouted back. "Why would I want to help a blood drinking murderer like you? You made me into a killer just like you and you killed people including some of my friends! I hate you and you deserve to die!" And with that, I started to glide back towards the island.

As soon as I was above some of the tallest buildings in the city, I looked back down at the surface and saw something very strange. It was a figure in a hooded cloak. What was really strange was that it looked like the figure I saw in the dream I had before I left the island that night.

When I reached the surface of the island, there were important questions buzzing around in my head. What was going on? Did the dreams mean something? Why was I always Typhoon in them? And who was the hooded figure I saw?

Sorry I took so long to update (again). I'm pretty sure all you SonAmy fans will like Chapter Seven.
