*The Planet Else-neyre (near)*

Darkness, the only comfort she had now that Metal had encased in the tank just to keep her still breathing. Once she opened her eyes however, Amy realized how bright it was outside the crystal tank that was healing her.

'Just three more days, and I'm fully healed.' Amy thought to herself watching her vitals slowly but surely reach 100%. Looking around the room she was in, Amy noticed that at her head on the right was an overly large window that showed the outside world and the warm sunlight.

'Soon, I'll be able to lay in the grass and feel the suns warmth again.' While Amy's thoughts continued to wander, Metal entered the room to check on his encased queen.

"I see your finally awake." Metal commented watching Amy turn her head to him.

Over the years, both Metal and Amy drastically changed, adapting to their new homes environment. Instead of white and blue fur, Metal now had black fur with electric blue streaks with a strand laying lazily over his left eye, his muscles became more toned and he grew taller. He now had black converses with a blue lightening bolt on the side and on his wrists were Ruby rings. Amy also went through a change as well. So long was her girlish figure, now she had a shape that could rival Rouge's. Her legs grew longer and had shape, her face gained a mature yet innocent look, her body formed into a small hourglass and her fur changed from pink to a dark magenta, almost violet. Her quills now reached the middle of her back and they had violet streaks in them. She also adorned ruby earrings and a collar with Emeralds, and Sapphires on it with a Ruby in the middle.

"I'm almost completely healed Metal. I will be able to feel you hold me again."

"I know, I can't wait to feel your warm fur against mine. But there are other matters at hand." Metal said pacing around the room now.

"What is the problem love?" Amy watched him pace back and forth to the window until he turned and looked at her once more.

"Our guards picked up an intruder but he got away."

"Well, who was it that got away?"

"Shadow"

*Station Square*

"Wait a minute Shadow, are you telling us that Metal Sonic is now King of a planet and Amy is now also Queen?" Cream spoke up after the ruckus died down.

"That's what I said. I was nearly captured by their guards but I was able to get away."

In the background, all Sonic could think of was how he would get Amy away from Metal, and take his kingdom too.

'I know she still wants me so it shouldn't be so hard to take her away. After all, why be with a robot when you can have the real thing.' Sonic thought to himself as Shadow contiued to tell them about Metal and Amy's planet kingdom.

"So what are we going to do now, I mean we know where they are now and we just have to get clearance to land, maybe she'll still welcome us in open arms." Rouge finishes crossing her arms.

"I'm not sure about that, but we could try."

"So what's the plan?"

R&R, sorry it took so long. More roadblocks, plus I just became a mom ^.^ & I had to find way to get my writing engine revved back up some
