Lights streamed through the blinds of Shadow's temporary home. Shadow squinted at the bright light before yawning and stretching. He got up and looked out the window. He slipped on some boxers and turned to see Amy. He smiled and hovered over her. He kissed both her cheeks before gently kissing her lips. Amy smiled as her eyes opened to meet his.
"Morning." He said as she smiled and kissed him.
"Good morning." She said as he sighed.
"It's not all good." He said as Amy frowned. Shadow sat on the bed with his head in his hands. Amy sat up and wrapped her arms around Shadow's shoulders and rested her head on them.
"Look at it this way. We get out of this town quicker." She said as Shadow put his hand over hers. He looked up at the clock before jumping up in alarm.
"We better get out now." Shadow said as he started throwing clothes at Amy. Ricky was waiting by the city limit impatiently. He was flanked by Scourge, who looked happy and Todd, who looked disappointed. Ricky checked his watch with a scowl.
"Search the town. Find him and bring him back to me." He said as he whipped out his pistol. Scourge smirked before walking off. Todd sighed as he went the other direction. Shadow was packing up all his things as Amy tried to help him. They started to hear banging at the door and Amy screamed.
"Open the fucking door!" They heard Scourge yell. Amy looked panicked as Shadow cursed. He pulled Amy out of the bedroom and into the living room. He looked around the room before grabbing a baseball bat on the ground. He ran into the kitchen and smashed the window above the sink. Scourge busted the door open as Shadow started to help Amy out of the window.
"Amy?!" Scourge yelled as Amy jumped back into the house. Amy pushed Shadow through the window and closed the blinds.
"Go Shadow!" Amy yelled as Shadow looked at her sadly through the blinds. "Go! She screamed as Shadow took off. Scourge pulled Amy's arm and made her face him.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" He growled as Amy glared at him. She ripped her arm out of his grip.
"I was here with Shadow. I love him!" She yelled before Scourge slapped her across the face.
"How dare you do this to me? You whore! You go and fuck a Black Arms!" Scourge yelled as Amy held her face with her hands.
"I love him!" She yelled again as Scourge knocked her to the ground. Scourge punched in the jaw before kicking her in the stomach.
"Don't ever say that shit again! If I ever see you with him again you're little love is going to be dead." Scourge said as Amy held her stomach in pain and nodded. "Get up. You're coming back home." Scourge said as Amy pushed herself up. Scourge grabbed Amy's arm and started dragging her out of Shadow's home. Reese was pacing the living room waiting for Todd to come back. Todd came back with his head hanging down as Reese looked at them anxiously.
"What happened?" Reese asked as Todd collapsed on the couch.
"Shadow barely got his ass out of here." Todd said as Reese sighed in relief. Todd suddenly jumped off the couched glaring at Reese. "What the fuck was Amy Rose, Scourge's little sister, doing at Shadow's fucking house!?" Todd yelled as Reese began to stutter. "Well?!" He yelled as Reese sighed.
"They've been seeing each other." Reese muttered quietly as Todd threw his arms in the air in frustration.
"What the fuck? What the fuck?! Did he lose his mind!? We were already walking a fucking thin ass line on this treaty. Did Shadow just fuck his sister for shits!? What the fuck was he thinking?!" Todd yelled as he paced around the living room. "I've been telling you guys from day one to stay the fuck away from those Freedom Fighters, but no…Shadow has to go and fuck the leader's sister and kill his second in command!" Todd yelled as Reese sat on the couch and listened. "When did this even happen?" Todd questioned.
"At the party." Reese said without hesitation.
"You guys went to Scourge's party!?" Todd yelled as Reese nodded. "What the fuck were you guys thinking? Do you know how much we've lost because of this?" Todd asked as he stopped pacing and looked at Reese. Reese sighed as Todd rolled his eyes. "I've lost two of my main members and the treaty is broken! We're probably going into a fucking war now!" Todd yelled as Reese pinched the bridge of his nose. "Cops will be on our asses all the fucking time now!" Todd yelled as Reese stood up.
"I fucking know! Ok?! I tried to stop him, but he was too 'in love' to fucking listen to me!!" Reese yelled as Midnight ran into the apartment in a panic.
"Todd! Reese! Scourge is on his way here with Spark and Silver!" Midnight said as Todd growled and ripped a drawer out of a table. He threw Reese a gun as he picked one up. They ran passed Midnight, but Todd stopped Reese.
"Where's Static? I bet he'll love to see his brother." Todd said sarcasticalley as Midnight pointed to the apartment across from the one she was standing in. Static came out loading a gun in his hand.
"Way ahead of you." Static said as he followed Todd and Reese. Amy was sitting in her room with her arms wrapped around her knees as she cried into her knees. Cream walked in and sat next to her friend.
"This whole thing is my fault." Amy said as Cream wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Love is not a mistake. You can't blame your feelings." Cream said as Amy sobbed into her knees.
"We're in a fucking war Cream! It's all because of my feelings!" Amy yelled as Cream frowned sadly. "My guy isn't even here and my brother fucking beat me up. I feel like shit." Amy said as Cream rubbed her back comfortingly.
"I think I have a way to get you to Shadow." Cream whispered as Amy sniffled.
"Realley?" Amy asked as she wiped her nose with the back of her hand.
"Hun, use a tissue." Cream grimaced as she handed Amy a tissue. "I know a guy that's good with some chemical stuff. You can pretend to be dead and when after you can escape to Shadow." Cream said as Amy hugged her friend.
"Cream you're the best! When can we go see this friend?" Amy asked as Cream smiled.
"Today. Let's go." Cream said as she pulled Amy off the bed and out of the door. Scourge, Silver, and Spark were all in the alley between the Black Arms apartment complex about to break in when Todd, Reese, and Static dropped to the ground.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Todd growled as he glared at Scourge.
"To teach you a fucking lesson. No one gets near my sister! Especialley one of you faggots." Scourge growled as Static looked at Reese confused. Reese just motioned for him to continue to listen.
"Shadow just had a lapse in thought. He obviously couldn't tell what a whore you sister is." Todd said as Scourge growled at Todd. Static's eyes widened as Reese nodded at him.
"Shut the fuck up, Hedgehog! I'm coming the end your fucking life finalley." Scourge said as he walked towards Todd.
"Not without a fight." Todd said as Reese and Static charged Silver and Spark. Scourge charged Todd as Todd flipped over him landing on the other side.
"Little brother." Spark sneered as he looked at Static.
"There's a reason I changed my last name, bitch." Static growled as Spark glared at him. "I always knew it would come to this." Static said as Spark smirked.
"Yeah, me killing your ass." Spark said tackling Static. Silver threw Reese against the wall, but Reese quickly grabbed his arms and kneed him in the stomach. Silver stumbled backwards before Reese punched him in the face.
"You're going to pay for that Romaro." Silver gritted out as Reese glared at him.
"Bring it Hedgehog." Reese said as Silver charged Reese. Todd elbowed Scourge in the back making him fall to the floor. He slammed his foot on Scourge's back before he had a chance to get up.
"You actualley think you can beat me Scourge? I'm older. I'm wiser. I'm stronger. I know all your tricks and how to beat them. I'm in your head and you can't fuck me up." Todd said as Scourge growled and flipped over. He grabbed Todd's leg, but Todd quickly ripped it away and kicked Scourge across the face. Scourge managed to get back on his feet and started throwing punches at Todd. Todd dodged everyone before catching his right fist. He caught his left fist and bent both of them backwards as Scourge hissed in pain. Todd let go of one of his fists and quickly punched him in the jaw. Scourge spat his blood in Todd's face as Todd looked at him disgusted. Scourge took this chance and punched Todd across the face. Todd fumed and quickly tackled Scourge.
Reese smashed Silver's face against the brick wall and dragged it across scraping his face. Silver elbowed Reese in the stomach making Reese let go before punching him in the face. Reese growled at him before kicking him in the stomach and elbowing him in the face. Silver's nose started gushing out blood as Reese smirked in satisfaction. Silver glared at him as he wiped his nose and spat some blood out. He tackled Reese to the cold ground and started to punch him rapidly. Reese quickly caught one of his fists and punched him in the face. Reese knocked him off and quickly got up. He kicked Silver in the side over and over before Silver caught his foot and slammed him on the ground. Reese rolled over to his side before Silver could grab him. Silver and Reese got on their feet before charging towards each other.
Static was thrown into the wall as Spark charged him. Static rolled against the wall letting Spark collide with the wall. Spark growled before tackling his brother to the ground. Static kicked him off and jumped back onto his feet. Spark got on his feet as they circled each other. Spark lunged towards him, but Static dodged and kicked him in the back. He tackled him to the ground and started to smash his face into the ground. Spark whipped around and elbowed Static on the side of his head knocking him off. Spark grabbed Static and threw him out the alley away from the other two fights. He started punching him in the stomach before Static grabbed one of his fists and twisted it back. Spark hissed in pain before Static punched him in the face. Static dragged him to the ground and started to punch him in the face. Spark grabbed his fists and pushed him back. He whipped out a pocket knife and put it to Static's throat.
"You're going to listen to me and listen to me good." Spark growled as Static glared at him. Silver had Reese in a headlock, but Reese quickly elbowed him in the stomach. Reese grabbed Silver's head and started to repeatedly smash it into a dumpster until he went unconscious. He let Silver drop to the ground as he looked up at Todd's and Scourge's fight.
Todd was rapidly punching Scourge's stomach before Scourge rolled away and got back up on his feet. Scourge pulled Todd into a headlock, but Todd quickly elbowed him in the stomach and punched him in the face. Scourge growled as he charged Todd. Todd slid to the side and grabbed Scourge around the chest. He swung him into the dumpster making him hit his head against the rim. Scourge held his head in pain as Todd stood over him. Scourge growled and tackled Todd to the ground. Todd kicked him off, but not before Scourge grabbed his gun. Scourge pointed Todd's gun at him as Todd put his hands of defensively.
"How does it feel to be on the other end of your own gun?" Scourge sneered as Reese's eyes widened. He started to run towards Scourge, but Scourge whipped his gun out and pointed it at Reese. "I wouldn't do that fox-boy." Scourge growled as Reese skidded to a halt and put his hands up. "You were so confident that you were going to beat me." Scourge said before laughing. Todd glared at Scourge before he Scourge stopped laughing. "Say hi to Lucifer for me." Scourge said as Todd shut his eyes. He heard a gunshot ring through his ears, but felt no pain. He opened his eyes confused to see Scourge fall forward with a single gunshot to his back. Todd looked up to see Spark with a gun in his hands. Todd smirked as he let his hands drop.
"Nice job Spark." Todd said as Spark twirled the gun around his finger.
"No problem boss." He said as he handed the gun back to his brother.
"What?!" Reese exclaimed as Todd shook Spark's hand.
"You see Spark and Static had been sort of my protégées when they were young. I wanted to get into Scourge's mind and see what he was exactly planning. So I had Spark become an undercover member." Todd said as Reese gaped at him.
"Don't worry man, I didn't find out until now." Static said as Spark smiled sheepishly.
"Who the fuck is going to lead the gang now?" Reese asked looking at Scourge's dead body.
"Well…Sonic was second in line." Static said as Spark smirked.
"I was third in line." Spark said with a smirk as Todd chuckled.
"Well…that's work greatly in our favor." Todd said as Reese looked at Silver.
"What about him?" Reese asked as Static shot Silver in the head.
"Not a problem." He said as Reese shook his head. He followed the rest of the group when he remembered something.
'Amy can go and be with Shadow!' He exclaimed his mind. He didn't say anything to the others because Todd was pissed enough with Shadow and this whole thing and the others wouldn't understand. He followed them into the apartment before going to his room and jumping out his window. 'I need to get to Mystic Ruins and fast!' Reese thought as he ran towards the train station. Amy walked with Cream to a warehouse she had never noticed. They walked in to hear hard rock music blaring through speakers as someone legs stuck out from under a car.
"Tails!" Cream yelled, but there was no response. She rolled her eyes as she moved towards the car. She pulled the legs of the guy out as his whole body came out. "Tails!" Cream yelled in the foxes face as the fox grimaced. He grabbed a remote and shut off the music as he stood up.
"What are you here for Cream?" Tails asked as he wiped the grease off his hands.
"I need a drug." Cream said as Tails raised his eyebrow.
"Not really into the whole drug-dealing shit." Tails said as he leaned on his work bench and stared at the rabbit.
"Not those kind of drugs!" Cream said slapping his arm as Tails chuckled. "I need something to make my friend seem like she is dead." Cream said as Tails looked at Amy.
"So…you need a serum to make her pulse and any other signs of life to stop?" Tails asked as Cream nodded. "Well, you're in luck ladies. I have just the thing." Tails said as he walked over to the other side of the warehouse. He pulled out an old first-aid kit from a drawer and pulled out a vile. "When do you need it exactly?" He asked as he shook the liquid inside the vile.
"Today." Amy said quickly as Cream just nodded.
"Well…just lay down on this table." Tails said as Amy hesitantly did what he said. Tails pulled out a syringe as he filled it with the foreign liquid.
"This is all clean right? I won't AIDs or anything right?" Amy asked as Tails chuckled.
"I'm nothing, but professional. You'll be fine." Tails said as he put the needle into her arm and injected the serum. "The serum should take action by midnight. So…you have about five hours." Tails said as he removed the gloves Amy hadn't notice he put on and disposed of the needle.
"Thanks Tails!" Cream said as she hugged him. Tails cleared his throat as Cream rolled her eyes and kissed him on the lips. "I'll see you later." She said before dragging Amy out of the warehouse.
"Who was that exactly?" Amy asked as she raised an eyebrow. Cream blushed and rubbed the side of her arm.
"My friend…he has all the special serums and shit." Cream said as Amy smirked.
"Seems more like a boyfriend." Amy said as Cream nudged her.
"Shut up." Cream said as Amy laughed. "You're going to be with yours soon." Cream said as Amy smiled softly to herself.
"Yeah…" She said trailing off thinking about Shadow happily.
