A/N: I could not resist. I really want to write the next chapter nyahhahah. I've done three of the main exams so far and a few more left this week and a week after. Both English exams were really easy in my opinion and now that's over and done with. The first science P1 exam we did was alright, the last question threw me off man xD At least P2 is easier. Circuits are like so easy to talk about and elctricity and all that. Did you know that 'Static electricity' is an oxymoron? It's just a build up of charge.

(In the anti world/moebius)
A very intimidate yet sturdy looking castle stood over the horizon. The sky was a gloomy colour of darkness making the castle seem much more haunting than usual sending chills down one's spine just by merely glancing at it. The grass around it were beyond their death as their decaying forms seemed to be warning any passerby. Inside the building, we zoom towards the throne room. There was only one throne however, it was adorned with the most expensive gold and it was sculpted in the most particular fashion. It didn't suit the demeaning appearance of the castle but it sure did have a modern touch. Almost badboy-ish.
A infamous hedgehog was quite comfortable and plopped on the throne leaning onto the side with one leg propped up over the other. His tan chest was etched with two gruesome looking scars and the only clothing he consisted was a leather jacket matched with black and green sneakers and gloves. His grassy green fur stood out like a neon light at night and his icy blue eyes were half lidded as he tossed a chaos emerald in the air over and over again. The other two were resting on his chest while he smirked contently.
"In no time, I will soon have the ultimate power and rule both this world and the real prime world." Scourge chuckled to himself and stopped tossing the chaos emerald for a moment and his eyes scanned the beauty of the gem. Devilish thoughts were scattered around his mind while he studied the jewel. Such small things yet they contain the ultimate power. It was quite easy for him to nab the first two in his world and the one in No Zone was as easy as a piece of cake.
"I only need four more, just FOUR more." The mere thought of power made him bite his bottom lip in glee. Once he gains all seven of the Prime Chaos Emeralds, he will combine its power with the chaos emeralds in the anti world in order to make him the most powerful thing ever. Oh, so much power! He could easily kick Zonic's ass for all those times he threw him in jail. He could officially defeat Sonic The Hedgehog without batting an eye! He doubts that the Sonic in the real Prime world would barely be a challenge.
"Hmmm...I wonder who else might enter this world as well?" He mused to himself and sat up.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
The doors of the throne room were burst open and a frail looking Mobian scurried towards the throne and bowed down.
"Sire, I have urgent news!" The guard spoke with a slight brittle accent. Scourge's ears perked up for a moment and stood up after quickly stuffing the emeralds in his quills.
"Proceed," A little glimmer of hope lit up in Scourge's mind. Has his Prime other been sighted yet? Is there a chaos emerald that he hasn't sensed but was stationary in this world? He folded his arms and itched the back of one of his ears in a Sonic fashion. They are like twins after all and some things and quirks aren't opposite. For example: Their speed, their cockiness- though Scourge is so much more arrogant and sarcastic, small habits and their abilities when they harness the power of the chaos emeralds in either worlds.
"A unnatural flash of light has been recorded just a few miles away South in the sky-"
"A-aaaaand whut? What's so interesting about lights you douche?" Scourge sneered and sat back down slightly slouching. His waterfall of questions stopped immediately and his hope was replaced with disappointment.
"S-Sire! Three hedgehogs has fallen from the sky!" The guard stuttered. Scourge cocked a brow as this started to get interesting.
"We've zoomed in with the cameras and identified the three as Sonic, Shadow and Silver. We suspect that they're the real Primes that you were waiting for and we received three energy signals from them." Scourge stood up again with a smirk etching to the side showing his sharp teeth.
"Yes, they are the Primes, for defo that's for sure! And those energy signals must be the chaos emeralds they've brought along with them." Scourge's teeth gleamed which was enough to let ladies swooning. Despite that, his smiled disappeared in an instant. Three hedgehogs has fallen which mean three chaos emeralds. There are seven chaos emeralds and both he and the trio have three emeralds each in their possession. Where's the seventh?
"Have you guys found any other signals? A lead? Anything at all to confirm that there's another chaos emerald here?" Scourge took a step forward with a glare. The guard visibly shivered and shook his head in denial. Scourge's face fell into a frown before twisting into a look of fury. "YOU PATHETIC PIECES OF CRAP! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING HERE FOR?" The green hedgehog lashed out as the guard jumped back trembling.
"S-sire!" The guard gulped before continuing while Scourge's icy blue eyes seemed to freeze his blood and change the atmosphere into a blizzering temperature. "R-Rosy ha-as been...spotted...too,"
The silence was so loud that the guard was not able to bare it. Scourge seemed like a statue in the room with his face hidden in the shadows. Everything in the room seemed to have disappeared and the only things standing were the two Mobians.
"Rosy? Little Rosy, eh?" Scourge smiled maniacally confusing the guard; this wasn't the type of reaction he was expecting but at least it's not anger and Scourge always vents his anger on weaklings like him.
"N-not so l...little. She seemed to have changed slightly both appearance wise and we think...mentally." The guard stood up straight. Scourge had one hand on his hip and the other towards his chin. It's been half a year since he last saw Rosy and he didn't realise this but he seemingly missed her. But then again, if you're a cocky bad boy hedgehog like Scourge who loves a challenge, wouldn't you start to miss a small and cute yet hellbent and psychopathic hedgehog like Rosy who loved him so much that it drove her to insanity?
He wanted to see her now. Not that he would admit it to anyone but he is really curious now. Another thought struck his head. Rosy has been sighted before but never outside the woods. Something must have have triggered her to come out.
"Was she alone?" Once again, the guard shook his head.
"She was with Amy Rose but before we could get any closer, they both ran off." Scourge had his eyes closed as the guard finished. The young teen waved his hand as if he was shooing the guard away (which the guard obeyed very eagerly I may add) Scourge furrowed his eyebrows and let out a small 'heh'. This should be fun- no scratch that, this will be fun of course. He eyes peered out of the window with a new motive.
"You can run, but you can't hide..."
(With Nicky, Shadow and Silver)
Silver looked up when he saw a blue blur come back towards them. His ears bent down slightly when he saw the distant look on Nicky's face.
"Saikin dou desuka?" His golden eyes were filled with worry but he hissed in pain from his leg. The wound that he received back in No Zone reopened while they were searching for their missing team mate making them stop for a bit. Shadow stayed with him while Nicky looked around for her but staying close by them at the same time.
"Kawari nai desu..." Nicky's eyes held no joy and seemed a little lifeless. His usual bright lime eyes were dimmed with worry and anxiousness. "How's your leg, Silver?"
Silver stood up and bit his tongue to stop himself from yelping. The wound was a lot deeper than he thought and that fall didn't help either. The bullets those assassins fired really were something.
"You're still hurt. And flying will take up more of your energy." Shadow spoke up. His crimson eyes were burning with irritation. How much longer would it take to find her? What are the chances that she's come across with Scourge already? Shadow tried so hard to ignore those pessimistic thoughts like Emi tried to teach him a while back. He would've believed that she would be fine if she wasn't injured already.
"Iyada! Wa-" Silver was immediately talked over by Nicky himself.
"You're injury is bad enough as it already is! What good would it do if you worsen it? Emi...Emi will be okay. Unless you want one of us to carry you if you're fine with that." Nicky folded his arms. He was right though, it'll be more of a burden if Silver worsens his injury than having to carry him.
"I'll carry him, you're slightly wounded as well." Shadow stated referring to the wound Nicky received during the fight in No Zone. Silver wasted no time in hopping on Shadow's back allowing the ebony hedgehog to carry him piggy back style. "It's better if you slow down a bit, we might accidently miss any clues or something." Nicky looked down and sighed. This is the first time he was this worried about the sakura hedgehog. Usually when Eggman abducts her or if she goes missing, he's not half as worried as he is right now because he always knows that she'll be okay and that Egghead wouldn't dare to lay a finger on her. Although, when he pointed a gun by her head, that was an exception and he felt the same anxiousness as he's feeling now. Heck, he was nearly close on confessing to her at that moment but for some reason, those words were locked in his throat.
"Can you sense her...like last time?" Silver asked timidly. He's never seen Nicky as stressed as he is now. Nicky closed his eyes and his ears pricked up. After all those times his friends were in danger, he trained himself to hear their heart beat from a long distance; Emi's in particular. It was his Emi radar. He supposes that's how Emi finds him all the time by listening out for his heart beat. That's how they're able to sense one another as easy as pie.
Ba-thump-Ba-thump-Ba-thump...
Nicky's eyes flickered open and a new ray of hope was placed before him. He wasn't able to hear her heartbeat before because of how far away she seemed to have been. Now, if he's able to hear it, that means she's moving closer. With a smile which widened to his typical grin, he darted off with a Sonic boom letting Shadow follow after him hastily.
"Nicky! Chotto matte!" Shadow yelled and with a boost, he finally caught up with the azure speed demon. With his teeth clenched he spoke again: "I told you to SLOW down! What the hell do you think you're doi-"
"Shadow! I can sense her! I can sense her heartbeat!" Like a kid on their birthday, Nicky-Kun babbled. His voice was upbeat and full of joy that you wouldn't suspect that he was down just a minute ago. Shadow's mouth dropped slightly and Silver grinned. Their Nicky was back.
"Why are you slowing down? Hurry up," Nicky gave a sly smirk before adding "Kusojijii," He sped up matching his signature speed.
"Kisama..." Shadow growled and skated faster. A mere meter gap was between the two rivals indicating that they were at the same speed. "Kusogaki!" Nicky laughed cockily at the petty insult and his eyes shone with eagerness. He didn't realise Shadow wasn't as angry as he would be but instead, he was smiling a genuine smile. His rare smile. Not even Silver who was on his back noticed it.
'Rozu, we're coming,' Shadow breathed out.
'You will fine Emi, I know it!' Silver squinted his eyes.
'Hold on Emi, I'm coming for you! Stay where you are,' Nicky prayed silently hoping that the higher power would grant all of their wishes on Emi's safety.
(With Emi, Amy and Rosy)
After walking deeper and deeper into the forest, the candyfloss coloured hedgehogs arrived at a clearing. Rosy looked to the left then to the right and around her in order to see if they were followed. Once she confirmed the coast was clear, She walked towards a crooked tree and bent down one of the branches. The tree opened like a door making the sane duo gasp in astonishment. They sure weren't expecting that.
"Come on, one at a time. You guys go first." Rosy hissed. Amy nodded and was about to go but felt a hand grip her arm. It was none other than Emi who had a disturbed look on her face.
"Hey, what's with that look?" Amy shook Emi's hand off gently. The foreign girl bit her bottom lip and looked at Rosy. She wasn't sure whether to trust that girl any more. This was getting as weird as it already is. "Hold onto my hand, we'll go together." Emi nodded and they both walked towards the tree. Emi looked at Rosy one last time to see her give a small smile.
"Go on," Rosy's voice was much more gentle this time erasing all of Emi's previous doubts. Her eyes held a slight softness towards her. A common trait that all her counterparts shared other than their love for Sonic/Nicky's counterpart.
The trio jumped in at the same time thanks to their petite size and extremely thin bodies leaving the 'tree' to close itself looking as normal as ever.
"Weeeeeeeeeeee!" Amy whooped as they slid down the tree tunnel slide. Emi gawked in surprise as she realised they were all sliding down. It was like a slide but slightly more rough and much more longer. Her hand covered the wound on the waist just so it doesn't reopen by accident. She tried so hard to convince Nicky and Shadow that she'll be fine though Zonic did most of the work within a few sentences. She looked around as they were moving at a fast pace to see more tree tunnel slides around. Some other Mobians and humans were sliding down as well. Each of them had a unique pair of clothes on or shoes for some that preferred to remain unclothed.
They finally reached the bottom and Amy jumped with a little cheer. When she spotted Emi's awestruck face, she looked at her direction only to have the same look plastered on her face.
"This is the Rebel camp and refugee area." Rosy flipped her bangs to the side and started to walk with the two girls quickly following after. The camp was underground but it felt like it was a small city at night. There were probably thousands and thousands of people inhabiting it. "Most of us are rebels like me and will snatch the kingdom out of Scourge's hands. We will make plants grow again. We will make the sun shine again. Most of all, we will teach how to love again." A slither of emotion was present on Rosy's eyes but she ducked her head down and led the girls towards a huge base that looked similar to the Freedom Fighter's HQ that Eggman blew up.
"You know, she's nothing like you all described her as." Emi whispered for Amy's ears only. The sakura hedgehog looked at Rosy curiously .
"She's changed, I hope she'll tell us everything." Amy answered "She seems a lot like Shadow now, our opposite in personality wise." What she said rang the truth. Rosy seems to be the pessimist while Amy and Emi were the optimists.
Rosy pulled the door open of the base to reveal a reception of some kind. Most of the Mobians and people here wore rough clothing of some sort and were equipped with different sorts of weapons other than a gun. Rosy paid no attention to them and walked towards a door that had 'Dr Kintobor' written on the door. Without knocking, she entered dragging her two counterparts in.
"Oho? R-Rosy! How many times have I told you to knock? And you brought...Amy? Two Amys? Wha-" A tall and thin looking human with long reddish brown mustache was hushed by the pink devil herself.
"This is urgent Dr." Rosy scowled before helping herself a cup of water by the filter. "'Snot's' little possies seem to be after Emi, " Rosy pointed to the hedgehog with the wrist device on (which is slightly damaged after the fall) "And for some reason Amy is here and they owe us an explanation for coming while we're getting ready for our attack."
Dr. Kintobor adjusted his glasses and gave a warm smile to Amy and Emi. Rosy just sat there on a chair munching on a piece of fruit (not in a ladylike manner I may add)
"Hello girls, Amy, you already know me; I know that for sure," He began while Amy delivered a sweet smile "I'm Dr. Kintobor, Eggman's counterpart."
"Oh! I see now. Nice to meet you Dr! You seem like a certain professor I know in planet Gaia." Emi chirped and gave a small bow.
"Ooh, Japanese culture a presume, eh? You must be the true primes that everyone's talking about."
"Japa-whut?" Rosy cocked a brow while speaking with her mouthful. She rolled her eyes and carried on eating. She hasn't eaten anything for almost two nights and her stomach is really taking its toll.
"Eheh~" The Japanese hedgehog giggled. Kintobor beckoned the girls to take a seat as he took a seat himself.
"Now, do you mind elaborating on what's going on?"
"I-I'll explain," Emi cleared her throat. "During an experiment by Tails in my world, I was accidently chaos controlled here. I could've gone back through the chaos emeralds of Amy's world but..."
"Well carry on then!" Rosy huffed. She was getting kind of impatient here.
"Alright! Sheesh!" Emi glared at Rosy. Her counterpart was downright rude. "As I was saying, the Sonic in my world; who we refer to as Nicky, and Shadow and Silver chaos controlled here as well through the same machine to get me back but as a result, the chaos emeralds in my world ended up warping as well."
"Blimey," Kintobor commented. His eyes widened and it was visible through his glasses. Rosy's jaw dropped and she shook her head. Emi had three hedgehogs go after her?
"Is this some kind of harem or something? Do all three love you that badly?" Rosy shouted out. Consequently, Emi's face flushed brightly and Amy burst out laughing.
"R-Rosy! Apologise this instant!" Kintobor scolded like a father.
"N-n-no! Well not Shadow and Silver! Shadow is like a big brother and Silver is like my brother too. We're really close in the Sonic Team so it's not surprising to everyone else back home." Emi crossed her arms and looked away in embarrassment. Rosy shrugged her shoulders and glanced at her wanting Emi to carry on.
"We've collected four of the chaos emeralds so far. Three were in Amy's world and one was in No Zone. The last three are in this world and Scourge seems to have had his hands on all them. He recently warped in No Zone and stole one the chaos emeralds." Emi finished and was met with Kintobor's and Rosy's face paling. "What's wrong?"
All of a sudden, Rosy jumped up in the air and yelling: "WE NEED TO STOP THAT GRINCH RIGHT AWAY!" Kintobor held the hyper hedgehog down and put a finger to his lips with a huge:
"SSSSSSShhhhhh! She-is-not-finished!"
Rosy peered at Emi to see her biting her bottom lip and a fiery aura out of her small frame. The little punk took a seat down and cleared her throat.
"We were supposed to have ended up together when we chaos controlled here but for some reason, we were split up." Emi took a sip of water that Kintobor kindly offered to the parched hedgehog.
"You were split up too? So was I and Sonic!" Amy related. "I think the reason we were all split up was because of the people we were thinking of. I was thinking of Rosy and Sonic was thinking of Scourge thus we were all split up during the chaos control."
"I was thinking of you during the chaos control so maybe the rest were thinking of Sonic! It makes sense now." Emi bumped a fist against her hand.
"Okay okay, now you know what has happened and all that stuff, now can we go and smash Scourge?" Rosy pleaded. Her urge to feel his body crumple against her deadly hammer grew huge. "He needs to bow down before me! I-I mean us! I mean..ur..." Kintobor patted her on the head and shook his head. She's lost control, again.
"Settle down Rosy, remember what I taught you in those therapy lessons? Calm down and don't think of him." Rosy took a deep breath and closed her eyes in order to relieve herself. "You know that if you come across him, all those months of getting yourself sane again will go to waste."
This answered both of Amy's and Emi's question about Rosy. So Kintobor has been giving her therapy lessons to get rid of her insanity and live a normal life? That's actually really good now that they don't have to deal with a raging psychopath. Rosy may be a 'little' rude and blunt but at least she's on their side.
"No it won't Dr! Despite that, you know we'll come across him sooner or later." Kintobor frowned at Rosy's comment. Now that Emi's here and the rest of her team, there's a higher chance that Rosy will come across Scourge, after all, this is what Scourge was waiting for. A chance to beat the real prime Sonic.
"We'll make sure Scourge doesn't see Rosy." Amy piped up. She may not exactly be close to Rosy but the least she could do is help since Rosy saved their butts from before when she was sane and insane.
"Pfft! I don't need your help Pinky. I can handle myself."
"That would be excellent Miss Rose," Kintobor clasped his hands together "I'll apologise on her behalf in advanced since I know she'll create trouble for you guys."
"Hey!"
"I bet you girls are going to be off later to look for your friends right? Take care of yourselves and I'm sorry for not being able to send any more people with you lot to ensure your safety. Just like Rosy mentioned, we're getting prepared to attack Scourge and his minions."
"We'll be fine! They have me along anyways." Rosy muttered. She sent a death glare to Kintobor. Although he may restrict her from doing many things, he's like a guardian she never had. No one has looked after her as much as he did. No one has care about her as much as he did. She owes him her life and the only thing he asks for return is for her to behave and look after herself. They're practically family.
"Don't forget we have hammers too." Emi whipped out her piko piko hammer that was a whopping size making Kintobor flinch a little. It's always a wonder how the Amys get their hammers out, out of nowhere.
"Looks like we'll be fine Doc." Rosy winked and started to walk towards the door but Kintobor stopped her. "Whut?"
"Change your clothes into something less revealing, please. If you do come across Scourge, he will lose control of his lust and...we don't want that to happen do we?" He had a point. Even Rosy realised how grave the situation would be if she went out like this. Kintobor rushed to his draw of spare clothes for small Mobians and brought out a pair of khaki shorts, black tank top and combat boots.
"Go to your room and quickly slip these on. Amy and Emi will wait here for you while I give them a few necessary supplies, okay?" Rosy nodded and stomped off out of the room and closed the door with a SLAM!
"Oh...she grew up so fast...literally!" The doctor humoured himself. "Now lets see, would you girls mind carrying a small rucksack around?"
"Not at all," The duo chorused.
"Wonderful, I have spare first aid and emergency supply rucksacks which should come in handy." He handed them both a yellow rucksack each which was lighter than it looked. Much lighter indeed.
After about ten-fifteen minutes, Rosy came back in the room slightly more presentable and less revealing. She grabbed her rucksack and the three hedgehogs bid farewell to the doctor and made their way out of the HQ through a different way just to avoid any of Scourge's spies or minions.
"Can you use your so called 'Sonic radar' to track him down?" Rosy nudged both Amys with a scoff.
"We-well," Amy frowned at Rosy "Half the time I'm wrong," This resulted in Rosy to guffaw and clutch her stomach. "It's not that funny! Cut it out!"
"Erm...Rosy...I suppose these guys aren't on our side?" Emi pointed to the flock of Mobians surrounding the trio all armed with dangerously looking weapons.
"H-How?" Rosy stuttered but then she looked around and face palmed herself. They walked right out of the dead woods bang in the middle of danger without realising. How could they've been so oblivious.
"The King orders for you three to come with us! If you obey without resistance, we won't harm you!" A gorilla spoke up in its gruff tone sending chills down the small girls. What those idiots didn't even realise is that they should never underestimate the trio of rascals. The tree of them had a crooked smile placed on their muzzles and with a flick of their wrists, their signature hammers appeared. With a battle cry, they all leapt up in the air and swung their hammers around them like a mini tornado.
The armed Mobians took a step back but before they could run for it, the triplets' hammers made in contact with their bodies flinging them into different areas and pounding them with agonizing pain and maybe a broken bone. A few of the braver henchmen tried to counter back and swung their weapons at the hedgehogs but only for it to end in vain. Rosy tripped them over by scratching the front of their legs with the tip of her sharp hammer, Amy used her strength to toss the the remaining henchmen in the air with her hammer leaving Emi to bash them back down on the ground with hers.
Scourge's minions were left on the ground howling and whimpering in pain. Some of them even ran away to escape the girls' wrath. As soon as they confirmed that there was no danger left, the trio high fived each other and gave a little cheer.
"That was easy! Dr. Kintobor should've not doubted the power of us three in the first place teehee~" Amy twirled. The power of teamwork was truly amazing. "If only Sonic were to see us in action, he'd be begging for a date in no time hmmm," Rosy could be seen in the background sweat dropping before rolling her eyes and then taking a deep breath.
'Maybe I might have turned out like them if Scourge wasn't like he is right now. But then again, I...I...' The punk shook her head to get rid of her thoughts 'I don't love him...I DON'T!' She bit her bottom lip and took deep breaths. For so long, she wanted to be sane, to live like a normal girl and the only obstacle standing in her way is none other than Scourge.
A little hiss was heard grabbing both Amy's and Rosy's attention.
"Emi! Oh no!" Amy rushed towards her counterpart who was holding onto her waist with a look full of pain. "When did you get that wound?" Emi looked down and her ears bent in sorrow and slight agony.
"You must've got it from the time you were in No Zone didn't ya?" Rosy mumbled and unfastened her rucksack only to get out the first aid kit. Emi moved her hand to reveal that the wound reopened and blood seeping through the bandage. "Come lets get you wrapped up E-"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
All three of the bubblegum coloured hedgehogs dropped to the floor to reveal one of Scourge's minion with a mallet. He knocked them all out cold with the very weapon. He got out his chaos emerald detector and waved it over the three unconscious bodies only to receive a signal from Emi's body. With a smirk, he picked Emi up potato sack style and darted off towards the direction of the castle. Looks like somebody's master is going to be very pleased with this very deed.
(With Nicky and the others)
"Watch out!"
"Aaargh!"
"DOKE!"
"OH SH-"
CRASH!
BUMP!
BASH!
*SLIP*
"Eugh..." Nicky sat up dizzily and he could've swore he saw stars flying around his head. He shook his quills but that only made him feel even more dizzy causing him to fall back on the floor. He looked to the side and his eyes widened. "Sonic?" Sonic got up on all fours and rubbed his head before giving a cocky smirk.
"Yo! Long time no see," He got up but not without staggering for a few steps "Dammit, I think we hit our heads too hard." He tried to help Nicky up but that caused them both to topple back down onto the ground.
"Stupid blue pineapples..." Shadow lifted the cerulean hedgehogs up bu their arms till they were able to stand up only for them to notice the new insult they just received.
"Blue..." Nicky started.
"Pineapple?" Sonic ended and cocked his head to the side. "No...just no."
"Well you guys sure do look like pineapples if you think about it heh," Silver chuckled but his amusement was cut short by Nicky's assassin look.
"Urusai!"
"Hai hai!"
Nicky noticed a missing presence making him look around.
"A-are...where's Amy?"
Sonic put his hands on his hips and sighed.
"I can't find her. We got split up. I suppose the same is with your Emi am I right?" Nicky nodded and his ears struck up straight once more only to feel his blood freeze. "Yo? What's happened to you-"
"Shadow! Her heart beat has gone fainter! She's moving away at a fast pace; we've to hurry." Nicky's attempt to dash off was halted by his counterpart.
"Which way?" Sonic looked at him straight in the eyes. A certain method he uses when he wants people to listen to him when he's serious. It works on Shadow at his world at times so it would be very effective to Nicky.
"That way." Nicky pointed towards a long pathway which led to none other than:
"Scourge's castle...Emi's in trouble..." Sonic gawked. He turned around to face the Triple S "I know a shortcut! Follow me and hope that Scourge hasn't done anything to Emi or Amy yet."
"I swear if he lays a finger on her I'll-"
"We'll kill him," Shadow finished Nicky's sentence off.
"Guys, calm down, getting all angry about this isn't gonna help." Silver who now started to fly to catch up spoke in order to calm the riled up hedgehogs. He was right, if they all fought with anger blinding their eyes then they're less likely to win. After all, Scourge has the chaos emeralds of the anti world and some of the chaos emeralds of their world which puts them at a huge disadvantage.
As they got about halfway towards their destination passing a dead looking area of trees and forestry, two pink bodies came in their view causing them all to skid to a halt. Sonic's breath got hitched in his throat and his heart started to thump faster.
"AMY!" He hollered and ran towards her. He put his ear on her chest to hear a heart beat and by luck, she was still alive. He sighed out in relief and noticed another person by her. "Rosy? She looks...different?" Sonic's attention was brought back to Amy when he felt her stir. He tapped on her cheek trying to wake her up. "Get up, Amy! Get up!"
Amy's eyes fluttered open and a groan escaped out of her mouth. She clutched her head but felt a hand underneath it instead. Her vision was cleared making her able to see her surroundings properly.
"S...Sonic?" The last thing she could remember was fighting Scourge's henchmen. How did she get in Sonic's arms? Not that she minded really.
"Thank chaos you're okay," Sonic held her close to his body and stroke the back of her head making sure there's no bump on it. Amy snapped out of daze and noticed Rosy still unconscious.
"Sonic, is Rosy okay?" Sonic pulled away from Amy, just a few centimeters away so he's able to see her face tainted with worry. Silver tapped Rosy on the shoulder and shook her slightly.
Her eyes opened instantly and she sat up quickly making her feel nauseous. She lied back down again rubbing her head.
"What happened?" Nicky looked around and still no signs if Emi. Her heartbeat was getting fainter and fainter meaning she's further and further away than they think.
"What happened...? Wait!" Rosy jumped up and looked around with her pupils dilated "Oh no! They took her!" Panic rose in Nicky's chest and a familiar feeling of dread filled up his small body. This can't be good at all.
"Did Scourge take Emi?" Shadow clenched his fist and unclenched them. He can't stop but think the worst is going to happen to Emi.
"I don't think so...must be one of his henchman!" Rosy looked towards the castle and growled "Most like is! Follow me, we're going to find her!"
"Why is she helping us?" Sonic whispered to Amy's ears. He picked her up on her feet and then held her bridal style so it's easier for him to carry her.
"She's on our side, I'll explain later." Sonic nodded. All of them followed Rosy as she ran towards the castle avoiding small traps and natural crooks and turns.
(In Scourge's castle)
"Well hello, little Rose," Scourge purred out at the sight before him. Emi's hands were tied up with extra thick ropes double knotted and a guard stood by her. "You can go away for a while, I need to have a little chat with her," The guard nodded and walked out of the throne room leaving Emi all by herself in the realms of the devil.
Emi's heart thumped against her chest as Scourge's icy blue eyes pierced through her soul. They were nothing like Nicky's warm lime eyes which would make her heart flutter every time he glanced at her. Scourge's sharp teeth intimidated her since they looked as sharp as those that belonged to a sharks. Nothing like Nicky's gleaming white teeth when he flashed her a grin or bit his bottom lip in embarrassment. Overall, she doesn't like Scourge from first glance.
"Well aren't ya gonna say 'hi' toots? Eh?" Scourge rested his cheek on his hand while seated on the throne. This is, well, unexpected for him. The Amy he knows would scream and shout and threaten him but this chic, she's quite mysterious. Almost like she's waiting for the right move. Her jade eyes seemed to be reading him like an open book.
"You're a King..." Emi finally spoke. The first words she exchanged with Scourge. She didn't say it in an awestruck or astonished way but more like a bland, flavourless manner. This irritated him big time but he wasn't going to show it.
"You don't look surprised but then again, I bet the others told ya 'bout lil' old me, hmm?" He got up from his throne and took a few steps towards Emi. "I'll get straight to the point cutie, just hand over the chaos emerald and I'll think about letting you go. Sound good?" Wow, this guy was sure as cocky as Emi's Nicky-Kun. Maybe even more but the young girl isn't going to give up. Not a chance.
"Why do you even want it?" Scourge stopped advancing for a moment. Did she just ask why? Is she stalling? This should be fun for him heh.
"The answer is simple cutie, I want ultimate power." Emi rolled her eyes in annoyance. Typical greedy idiot. He has it all yet he wants more?
"But you're a king. You don't need all this power." Emi tried to reason with him. Scourge raised an eyebrow at her before realisation dawned on him and a crooked smile crept up his face.
"Why...you're just a naive little girl," He was only inches away from her "Who lives in a 'bwaby wikkle wowrld wid wikkle wainbows and unicorwns' awwww," He pinched her cheeks harshly. Emi kicked him in the place where the sun doesn't shine as he let out a grunt of pain. Never underestimate those high heeled boots.
"Heh, I'll admit, you're super cute," Scourge chuckled but then grabbed the collar of her dress "But you're wasting my time so give me the damn emerald!" Emi smirked and her hands slipped out of the double knot she has been undoing while stalling Scourge. Her piko piko hammer materialised and she succeeded in delivering a solid blow towards Scourge's chest sending him towards the wall leaving a crack. He got up quickly and with a dangerous grin, he shot towards her his fists curled.
Emi waited for this and because of all that training she had with Nicky, she was able to dodge Scourge's punch and use the end of the handle of the hammer to walk him down with huge force. She jumped up with her hammer held high and ducked down aiming for Scourge's fallen body. One second he was there and the next he was gone. Emi lost concentration and landed on her hands. She tried to spring herself up but that resulted in twisiting one of her wrists causing her to fall on the ground. The wound on her waist started to bleed again. She looked up to see Scourge standing above her with her hammer in his hands.
Was this the end for her? Is she going to be killed by the counterpart of the boy who she loved with all her heart? There was so many things she wanted to do. So many places she wanted to visit. So many weddings she mentally arranged for her friends like Tails and Cream or Knuckles and Rouge or even her and Nicky.
"Don't worry toots, I ain't gonna kill ya. You're far too cute and fun to get rid off, hmm?" Scourge stooped down to her level and put her head on his lap. "Your lips look very soft today...real prime Amy...I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I'm the first to taste them right?" He teased but that ignited the fire in Emi's eyes. She punched him really hard in the face and staggered out of his lap using the wall for balance.
"My lips belongs to Nicky-Kun and NICKY ONLY!" Emi admonished. Scourge rubbed his sore cheek but his smirk never left his face. How dare he advance Emi like that? "Stay away from me you dirty womanizer!" Emi covered her lips.
"Hey I'll have you know I'm still virgin." Emi cocked her head to the side. What does virgin even mean? She heard Rouge mention it before and it left Knuckles all flustered but they never told her what it meant. She even confronted Nicky about it but he just blushed and told her she'll find out when she's older. Nicky even forbid Tails to know anything about it and being a good brother he is, Tails followed Nicky like the law.
"I bet you don't even know what that mean huh?" Scourge rubbed the temples on the side of his head. Not even Amy or Rosy were as innocent as her. Jeez, how did he even come into this situation? He just wants the chaos emerald. "I have an idea, since I'm such a nice guy and you're all beaten up already by the looks of it," he pointed at Emi's wound "Give me the emerald and I won't kiss you. Simple." Emi shook her head. She needs the emerald so she and the others can get home but she's not going to let the 'snot' kiss her either.
"I need the emeralds to go home! Stick with your stuff!"
She really is stubborn, Scourge mentally noted that down.
"Well then, a kiss it is." Scourge rammed into Emi making them fall onto the ground with his body hovering over hers. His hands pinned down her thin wrists and his legs pressed down on hers.
"Let go of me! Hentai! Stay away!" Emi protested and kept her face to the side. She tried to move out from underneath him but the hedgehog wouldn't budge. "You're freaking heavy! You're not going to kiss me! I won't let you." Scourge put both her wrists in one of his hands and with the other, he grabbed her chin forcing her to look at him.
"Emerald? Or kiss? One last chance toots before I give you a smooch of a life time," He licked his lips but Emi remained stubborn with her decision. "Very well then, you're lips are mi-"
REEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV!
CRASSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!
"Don't...you...dare...touch HER!" Nicky's arms were spread in front of Emi and his back was facing Scourge's bewildered body. Nicky just spin dashed through Scourge's door and knocked Scourge off of Emi in such high speed? How dare someone ruin his fun?
"Well, well, well, you must be the real prime Sonic...A-K-A...'Nicky-Kun'," Scourge wiped the blood off of his bottom lip. The fight hasn't even started and Nicky has already caused damage.
"Shut up," Nicky snarled with such hatred and his body turned to face Scourge properly. Ice blue orbs met fiery emerald orbs.
"Someone's a little defensive about cutie-pie here,"
"You have no rights to even look at her." Nicky stated darkly. Emi gasped at the amount of possessiveness he was showing. This was not jealousy for definite. More like disgust and rage.
"Coming from you? I don't see your name on her." At that moment, Scourge regretted his words when he saw Nicky flash his teeth. Before Scourge could move, Nicky was already behind Emi.
"N-Nicky?" Emi whimpered. She didn't like the situation one bit.
"Gomen ne Emi, but this is for your own good." With these last words, Nicky bent down one of her ears and sank his teeth into it while clamping her mouth with his other hand so she doesn't scream. Tears weld up in her eyes and rage was written on Scourge's eyes. Nicky looked up glaring daggers at his anti and stood up shielding Emi from 'Green's' sight.
"You little..." Scourge was left wordless. This was the first time someone has bested him in something other than fighting. Nicky has claimed Emi as his and there was nothing Scourge could do about it. Emi clutched on her ear but she didn't feel pain anymore. No, what she felt was warmth spreading across it. That was no ordinary bite and there was hardly any blood coming out. What's going on?
