'Amy's House'

'…and that is why I am coming to get you! From, Eggman!' "That's all it says Sonic. So what do you say Sonic, we going after him or not?"

Sonic with a new attitude said, "I-I can't believe that Egghead is alive. Alright, we're gonna kick some Eggman - "

Before Sonic could even finish his sentence, Shadow said "Whoa, you're attitude has changed dramatically. Maybe I shouldn't have told you that Eggman is back.

"Shouldn't have told me, you must be kidding!" he glances over at Amy, "Sorry Ames, but I have to save Station Square, again. You understand right?"

"Of course I understand, but I wonder, can I come with you to help fight?"

"A-Amy no," Sonic looked confused and continued, "it's way to dangerous, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you."

Amy was staring at Sonic with dreamy eyes and Shadow, well he had always been disgusted, but this was just too much for him. 'He is such a love sick loser!' "Hey Faker, are you done being Romeo and ready to go after Eggman?!"

"Yes Shadow." He sighed and thought, 'It's great that I have action in my life again, but now I'll have to leave Amy for awhile. These last few months with her have been great. Every minute I've spent with her is a blessing. I may have to separate from her for awhile, but it shouldn't be too long. I mean it's only Eggman that were fighting, not someone like Itachi Uchiha. How do I know that name?!'

"Hey Sonic! Stop daydreaming, did you hear me?!" Sonic shook his head. "Apparently not, I said we have to stop by the apartment so that I can retrieve my AK-47."

"Oh, okay." 'What is it with Shadow and violence, always with the guns and that thing he says, Death to all who oppose me!'

The duo leaves Amy's house and heads for their, when they get there Shadow says, "Alright, you wait here while I get my 'weapon'."

'Eggman's Base'

"Excuse me doctor, you said in your letter that you were coming for Sonic & Shadow, but my sensors indicate that they are on their way over here. What should we do, ambush them or wait for them to come to us?"

"Uh, well this isn't exactly what I was expecting. To answer your question, let them come to us, no sense in ambushing them when they can run into a trap here."

"Yes sir, I'll go get your 'machine' ready. Is there anything else that you would like me to do?"

Eggman gave a sarcastic look and said, "Well, if it isn't any trouble, I want you to participate in this fight!"

Metal Sonic looked scared, "Uh, yeah sure. Look, if you don't know this already, I don't fight; I'm just the robotic servant that gets pushed around!" He looked into Eggman's face to find any chance of sympathy at all, but found just an evil glare.

"Bah, forget it! Can you at least alert me to when Sonic and Shadow get here, can you do that?!"

"Yeah, sure." Metal Sonic leaves to go prepare the machine, and then remembers, 'Hey, we never named the 'machine' yet. Then again, I don't think it deserves a name.' He began to laugh out loud rolling on the floor.

'Sonic's & Shadow's Apartment'

"Ugh, where the fuck is it!!!" Sonic could hear Shadow practically ripping up the apartment to find his gun. "Huh, oh there it is. Phew, I thought I lost this thing!" Shadow walks back and sees Sonic is frightened by noise. "Uh, sorry, I couldn't find my gun for awhile, but I did!!!" Shadow said with a 'check me out' expression his face.

"Okay well now that you found it, let's go." A blur of black and cobalt fur could be seen as the two hedgehogs dashed through Station Square. Several minutes later that arrived the Eggbase. "Well then, it's about time we got here." Sonic said with a laugh.

"Whatever, we didn't come to joke around. What we came here for is to stop Eggman before he launches another one of his psychotic plans to take over the world.

"Yeah, I know that Shadow, now let's find him." Metal Sonic was listening and watching them, 'It's about time they got here, Eggman better be ready for them.'

'Eggbase - Eggman's Location'

"Ah, Metal Sonic there are you. Any news about my blue friend.?"

Metal Sonic stared at Eggman in his machine and started snickering, "Yes doctor, Sonic and Shadow are on their over here and one of them has a gun."

"Oh really, well it lacks in comparison to my machine. Metal Sonic, what are you going to be doing if you're not fighting?!"

"I'll be on the sidelines with the other badniks cheering you on. We made you a banner and - "

"I don't care! You're worthless than the badniks. Before Sonic killed me, at least you helped fight with me."

'Ugh, does he have no brain!' "That's because you freakin' brainwashed me and that is why I am not helping you. Also, I just persuaded the badniks to not fight with you."

"Whatever, I'm going to the center of the base to ambush Sonic. You and the other badniks can go play mutiny somewhere else."

'Eggbase - Sonic's & Shadow's Location'

"Ugh, Shadow we've been running around this base for what seems like hours, when are we gonna find him? Are we there yet?!" whined Sonic, he was bored out of his mind.

"Sonic shut up! We got here like a minute ago, I'm sure that we'll find him soon. Hey now this is a bigger area than the rest of the base. I think we're gonna find him here Sonic." They run into a large, metallic, empty room known to Eggman as the center of the base.

"Well if it isn't Sonic and Shadow." Eggman said as he came out in his 'machine'.

Shadow began to burst out laughing when he saw this machine. "What on Earth is that thing?!"

Eggman looked extremely embarrassed because what he sat in was a gigantic metal rabbit. "Uh, if you must know Shadow, it is the Eggeasterbunny."

(A/N: There you have it, he has an Easter Rabbit for his 'weapon'!")

Now Sonic howled out in laughter too. "Ya' know Eggman, I wouldn't expect you of all people to love bunnies."

"I wouldn't be making fun of this rabbit if I were you, 'cause this one is loaded and it will take you out."

"Loaded with what, jelly beans?!" Shadow at this point was now rolling on the floor bursting with laughter. 'This battle is going to be interesting; maybe he has rabid rabbits in that machine of his!'

"So you both think that I'm playin' do you? Well I'll show you that I'm not playin' with ya'll!" Eggman pushed as many buttons as he could and launched a missile at Shadow, whom was still on the floor laughing.

"Heh, missiles 'eh? I guess you aren't playing with us for once." While Shadow's getting up, Sonic's charging at Eggman with all of his power.

"So Sonic, you wanna play too?! Then bring it on to the Eggman!" Eggman pushes a bunch of buttons again and launches a punch like at Sonic sending him flying into a wall. "I told you not to mess with this thang, now you see what happened!"

A thin line of blood streamed out of Sonic's mouth. "So, I see you're not a wimp anymore, Eggrabbit." Shadow began bursting out with laughing again.

"Huh, so you still want some more?!" Sonic and Shadow got up and went to attack again. "So Shadow, you still it's funny that my machine is a bunny. Look, that rhymed. Anyways, you won't think it's very funny when I take it out on your little friend over there.

"Taking anger out on - " Shadow stopped with his sarcastic talk because Eggman had already taken action by clutching Sonic's throat with the...er...Easter Rabbit's hand. "Sonic! Let him go Eggman!"

"This is what you get for ticking me off Shadow, and now it's to say your final goodbyes to him before I mutilate him." Sonic was thinking, 'Great, I can't get free, I've failed Shadow and Station Square, and I also may never get the chance Amy's beautiful face again.' "Heh, goodbye forever Sonic the Hedgehog." Eggman's machine, which is ten times bigger than Sonic, began to crush him, squeezing the life out of him. The last thing they heard from Sonic, was a scream made out of the pain he had received. After it looked like he had done a pretty bad job to Sonic, he threw him towards the wall again, this time knocking him unconscious. It appeared to Shadow and Eggman though, that he was dead.

"SONIC!" Shadow ran over to him, but so did Eggman, and Eggman got there first. When he got there he kicked Sonic in confirmation that he was dead. "Hey, stop! That is no way to treat a fallen enemy."

"Finally, he's dead! I never thought I would see this day come!" Metal Sonic witnessed the whole thing and thought, 'Ya' know what, an Easter Rabbit was a really stupid idea. I don't even know why I helped him build.'

"Eggman, this is also another day I thought I would never see either, the day you die as well!" Shadow took out his gun and killed Eggman in one shot. "That's what you deserve, you monster!" Shadow then drifted off into his thoughts, 'Hey, maybe Eggman didn't kill him and he's just hopefully unconscious!' He walked over to Sonic and checked for any sign of life, 'See, I just had to reassure myself.' Shadow found a very shallow breath escaping Sonic. "Well there's no sense in staying here any longer, wasting precious time." He pulls out a green chaos emerald from no where because he's loaded with them and shouted, "Chaos Control!"

'Three Days Later - Sonic's Room'

Three days have passed and Sonic is still unconscious. When Shadow got back home with Sonic, he put Sonic in his room and immediately called Amy. For some reason, Shadow thought that Amy would at least know how to treat his wounds, luckily he was right. Sonic had gotten pretty beat up. He had several scars on his left arm, a fractured rib, and a small gash on the right side of his face. Sonic was lucky that Eggman hadn't fought with Metal Sonic, because then it would have been over for him. Shadow was still going over what happened that day when the phone rang. "Oh, hi Tails."

"Hi Shadow, how did you know it was me?"

"I have magical powers that can detect when your calling, it's called caller ID."

"Right, anyways, how is he?" Shadow thought for a second, 'Oh he's fine, and running at top speed while he's unconscious.'

"How do you think he is you mofo?! He falls unconscious, had the crap beat out of him by Eggman, and he still won't wake up, so yeah, he's absolutely fine." Realizing that Tails had gone through enough with Sonic, he continued, "I'm sorry Tails, I didn't mean to yell at you. If you want to see him, you can."

"Your apology is accepted and I will be over there soon, bye." Tails put the phone back down and prepared to board the Tornado, when two familiar people followed him into the plane.

After placing the phone back down, Shadow went back to Sonic's bedside. 'Huh, he looks like he might be finally waking up. Ah, he is!' Sonic's ear twitched a little while his eyes were slowly opening. "Hey, how do you feel?" Shadow asked in a soft voice.

As things began to slowly come into focus, he saw Shadow standing over him with a worried look on his face. "Shadow..." Sonic tried to talk, but it came out choked.

"Don't talk, it probably hurts. I'll be right back." Sonic watched Shadow leave and then began to look at himself. 'Whatever Eggman and his Easter Rabbit did to me, it must've been bad. My head is throbbing, it hurts to breathe, and I can't move my left arm. Some fight this turned out to be, I never even injured him!'

"Sonic, I'm so glad you're alright, I was so worried about you." Amy came running into the room, and instead of embracing him, squeezed his hand.

"Amy...why were...you worried?"

"Why, when Shadow told me what happened, I thought you weren't going to make it. You've also been out of it for three days. Shadow's going to tell you your injuries, okay."

"Amy, can you go to the front and wait for Tails while I tell him." She understood and left. "Alright Faker, what happened to you is..."

And Eggman...is he dead?" Sonic didn't really care about how many injuries he had, he just cared if that mental Egghead was dead or not.

"Yeah, I killed him. I was so angry, because at the time it appeared that Eggman had killed you."

"Shadow," Amy yelled, "Tails is here and he brought some friends with him!"

What?! Sonic, I'll be right back, try not to move." Shadow went to go see what was going on and not only did he see Tails, but he also saw Knuckles and Rouge. "Tails what are they doing here?! I wanted to limit the amount of people so that we don't stress out Sonic!"

"I'm sorry Shadow, Knuckles and Rouge followed me." Tails looked hurt, Knuckles and Rouge looked guilty, and Amy was outraged.

"Shadow, that is no way to treat our guests! Now take them to see Sonic!" Shadow grumbled and took them to Sonic in fear that Amy would go medieval on all of them.

"Hey Sonic, I have a few of your friends that want to see you. Sonic, what's wrong, SONIC?!" Shadow turned to face the others, "Uh, I'm just going to see if Sonic's ready to see you guys." They all knew something was wrong when Shadow went in and closed the door. Sonic was sitting up in his bed with fear in his eyes, and blood dripping form his mouth. "Sonic what's wrong?"

"Shadow...make it...go away." Sonic choked as he continued to cough up blood.

"What Sonic, make what go away?" Shadow asked softly.

"The p-perpetual...pain." Sonic finally gave into the pain and nearly fainted.

"SONIC!" Shadow went to go get help and found the trio of visitors were still standing outside the door. "Go get Amy and tell her to bring medicine, fast!" They all went at the same time while Shadow went back into the room. He took Sonic's body and laid on the floor so that Amy could give Sonic the medicine easily.

"Hey Shadow what's wrong, whoa, what happened to Sonic!"

"Amy...I need...you to do...something for me."

"What Sonic, what do you need?" She kneeled down to him and put her hand on his forehead.

"I need you to...maim me or kill me...anything to make this pain go away."

Shadow took out his gun and started to aim at Sonic. "Alright, you heard Faker, step aside Amy."

"Please Shadow…if you're going to…then get it over with now."

A shot was fired, but Amy stopped it with her Piko Piko hammer just in time. Fear and anger filled her face at the same time while she turned to Shadow. "Shadow put that away, NOW! Sonic you're being ridiculous, all you need is some medicine to make the pain go away, not death."

'Two Days Later - Sonic's Room

"How are you feeling today Sonic?" Amy chimed as she walked in with his breakfast which consisted of a single slice of toast.

"Much better now that you're here Ames."

She sat next to him and started stroking his quills. "Well I'm glad to hear that! Hey Sonic, if you could wish for something, what would it be?"

"My only wish is that I'd met you sooner as the hedgehog you are now."

Shadow with his supersonic hearing, heard this. 'And for the last time, LOVE SICK LOSER!!!'
