Chapter Six: Remembering The Past

Eggman was walking down the corridor in his base with two white fighter mechs and dragging Elise by her arm, very angry that he lost the chaos emerald to an unknown enemy. "Ow. Not so hard." Elise pleaded as Eggman squeeze her arm harder. "Quiet! I'm in a very bad mood and it would be very wise of you not to make me any angrier." Eggman said. Eggman stopped in front of a random door and opened it before throwing Elise inside. "You shall remain here until I can retrieve the chaos emerald. So please, enjoy your stay." Eggman said before slamming the door shut. "Guard the princess until I return." Eggman instructed the mechs. "Affirmative." The mechs replied. Eggman walked down the corridor and jumped into his Eggmobile and flew off into the town of Soleanna.

Meanwhile, Amy had secretly snuck into Eggman's base undetected, thanks to the invisibility feature of her suit. "Hmm...I can't help but feel that Sonic is around here somewhere." Amy said. Amy walked down the corridor until she found herself inside Eggman's computer room. "Maybe Eggman's computer can help me." Amy said as she walked over to the control console. The computer required a password, which Amy knew because she learned it from Kumori during their training sessions. "M-A-R-I-A. Maria." Amy said as she typed in the password. The computer accepted the password and revealed several secret files. There were files on the Flames of Disaster, the Scepter of Darkness, the Solaris Project and many more things that Amy didn't understand. "This still doesn't tell me what happened to Sonic." Amy grew impatient and banged her fists on the console. Lucky for her, her attack on the console accessed a recorded surveillance video that showed Sonic and the others being taken away by Eggman's machine. "Oh no, Sonic!" Amy cried. Another surveillance video showed Elise being put into a cell by Eggman. "Elise! I have to save her!" Amy exclaimed before she ran out.

Amy peeked around the corner and found the cell that Elise was being kept. The problem was that the cell was being guarded by two white fighter mech. Amy was about to use her speed and take out the mechs, but then Amy came up with a more amusing idea. Amy giggled for a moment before pressing a button on the wrist of her suit to activate its invisibility function. The mechs were patiently monitoring the area until one of the mechs felt something hit the side of its head. The mech turn it head towards the source and found only the other mech. The one mech slapped the other in the back of its head, who returned the slap with its own. Pretty soon both mechs were slapping the hell out of each other. It was a funny sight. They soon decided that enough was enough and fired their guns to blow each others heads off. "Eggman's robots get dumber every time." Amy chuckled as she reappeared again. "Hello? Who's out there?" Elise asked from inside the cell. Amy opened the door just as Elise was about to. "Amy!" Elise exclaimed. Just then, the alarm went off. "Prisoner has escaped from cell block C-17. All patrolling guards begin search immediately." The alarm sounded. "Let's get out of here!" Amy shouted before picking up Elise and used her super speed to escape the base.


Thanks to Amy's quick thinking and feet, Elise and the pink hedgehog was traveling safely through the town of Soleanna. "Thank you so much for rescuing me. I am grateful." Elise said. "No problem. I'm sure Sonic would have done the same." Amy said. Elise stopped suddenly after that. "Uhh, Amy...there's something I need to tell you. You see, Sonic was..." Elise trailed off, not wanting to upset Amy. "Its ok, I already know what happened to Sonic and the others." Amy said cheerfully, which surprised Elise. "You're not worried?" Elise asked. "Of course I am, but I have faith in Sonic. I know Sonic will find a way to come back." Amy said confidently. Elise was amazed by the endless faith Amy presented and smiled.

"You sure seem confident for someone who is worried." Elise said. "Yeah, but it's like Sonic always says: Nothing starts unless you take action. If you have time to worry, just run." Amy said. Elise giggled for a moment after that. "He really says that?" Elise chuckled. "Yeah, funny isn't it?" Amy started to laugh with Elise. "He really loves running doesn't he?" Elise asked. "More then anything. He always loved to run for as long as I've known him." Amy said. "When did you first meet Sonic?" Elise curiously asked. "Ahh, I'll never forget that day. It was the day he first saved me and the day I knew I was in love." Amy said dreamily as she remembered that day, three years ago.


---Flashback---

A twelve year-old Sonic was making his usual run until he accidentally ran into object that suddenly jumped in his path. "Ow." Sonic said as he sat up and rubbed his aching head. "That hurt." A female voice could be heard. Sonic looked forward to see that the object was actually a nine year-old pink hedgehog wear a green sleeveless shirt and an orange skirt. The girl was actually a younger Amy Rose. Amy then noticed Sonic and let out a girlish shriek, which scared the hell out of Sonic. "What? What's happening?" Sonic asked as he quickly jumped to his feet. "Ahh, your Sonic the Hedgehog! I've heard so much about you! I am a huge fan!" Amy shrieked in a fan-girlish manner. "Oh boy." Sonic sweat dropped. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was just so excited that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Amy Rose." Amy introduced herself. "Hello Amy." Sonic said. "He said my name!" Amy shouted excitedly. "This girl is weird." Sonic thought.

Sonic decided to walk the rest of the way and allowed Amy to tag along with him. "So, where are you going, Sonic?" Amy asked. "To Never Lake." Sonic answered. "Why Never Lake?" Amy asked. "Ever heard of the Little Planet?" Sonic asked. "Isn't that the tiny world that orbits around the Earth? The one with the special stones that alter time and change everything around them? I heard that the planet's full of places that are completely ignored by the Passage of time!" Amy said. "Yeah. On the last month of every year, the Little Planet appears over Never Lake. It's that time now, and I'm going to check it out. I bet space travel will be exciting!" Sonic exclaimed. "With all those Time Stones, I bet you'll try to outrun time itself." Amy said. Sonic didn't answer, but held a devious smile on his face.

Sonic and Amy were now walking through a forest that led to the destination Sonic was headed. But as he entered the forest, Sonic could hear Amy screaming from behind. "Amy!" Sonic yelled in a panic before he turned around. When Sonic turned around, he was not prepared for what he saw. Sonic gazed upon a blue robot with extensions on its head that acted as quills, a yellow chamber in its stomach with an engine in the back, razor sharp metal claws, and red metal shoes for feet. In other words, he was staring at a robotic version of himself. Sonic took notice that the robot held Amy captive. "Who are you?" Sonic questioned. "I am Metal Sonic and soon, the real Sonic." Metal said before he charged at Sonic and elbowed him in his gut. The blow sent Sonic flying through several trees and knocked him out cold. "Pathetic life form." Metal said before he vanished into thin air with Amy in hand.

Amy had just telling the first part of her story to Elise as the continued to walk through the town. "Metal Sonic? Wow, you must have been pretty scared." Elise said. "You wouldn't believe how scared. I was going completely out of my mind" Amy said as she pretend to pull her hair out, giving her a crazy look. Elise laughed at Amy's antics. "So what happened next?" Elise asked. Amy was about to answer until the heard a few loud thuds from behind them. The two girls looked back to see five white fighter mechs pointing their guns at Amy. "I think I should get rid of these guys before I continue." Amy said as she pulled out her famous Piko-Piko hammer. "I'll be waiting." Elise said confidently as she quickly ran to find a place to hide.

The mechs opened fire on the pink hedgehog, but she was too fast when she used her speed. Amy reappeared behind one of the mechs and bashed her hammer at its back to completely trash it. Two of the mechs took their place on each side of Amy and fired their guns at her. Amy merely smirked as she took a step back and watched the bullets pass her and destroyed the mechs on each side. "I can't believe how easy this is!" Amy cheered. The cheering quickly stopped when Amy felt to guns on the side of her head. "Uhh...can we talk?" Amy said nervously. Seeing that Amy was in trouble, Elise decided it was her turn to take action. Elise grabbed a nearby chair and bashed it across the back of the two mechs head. The mechs turned around to face Elise, which gave Amy a chance to strike back. Amy grabbed her hammer and spun around to knock the mechs heads off and destroyed them.

"Whew, now that's what I call a work out." Amy said. "Are you all right, Amy?" Elise asked. "Yeah, thanks to you." Amy said. "Your welcome. I have a questioned about Metal Sonic." Elise said. "What is it?" Amy asked. "Where did he come from?" Elise asked. "Oh that. Well, I was confused at first, but that was before that fake brought me to Eggman's base of the Little Planet." Amy said as she remembered how she first met the evil madman.


---Flashback---

"Let me go!" Amy shouted to the metal copy that was carrying her to the Little Planet. "Quiet or you shall suffer the consequences, Amy Rose." Metal said. "How did you know my name?" Amy asked in surprise. "All shall be revealed momentarily." Metal answered. But as the two approached the planet, several bug-like robots jumped from the planet and started to attack them. "Scanning enemies." Metal said as his red eyes began to glow brightly. "Enemies identified. Subject known as Badniks. Threat level: zero. Initiating attack program." Metal stated. Metal Sonic activated the engine on his back and ran past the Badniks with blinding speed, destroying them in his wake. Metal crouched down for a moment before jumping all the way up to the Little Planet.

Inside his secret base, Eggman, (or Dr. Robotnik in this time, whichever you prefer) watched as a blue blur ran past his Badniks and destroyed them. "It must be that blasted Sonic again. If he thinks he can stop my plans again, he's got another thing coming." Eggman said. "I couldn't agree with you more." Eggman turned around and found Metal Sonic had invaded his base without setting off the alarm. "Who are you?" Eggman questioned. "I am Metal Sonic, a mech created 200 years in the future by your descended, Eggman Nega." Metal answered. Eggman and Amy were both surprised to hear that this robot actually came from the future. "What are you doing here in this time?" Eggman questioned. "My creator sent me back in time to assure that Sonic the Hedgehog is eliminated and out of your way so that you may begin the creation of your empire." Metal answered. "Sounds convincing, but what you need her for?" Eggman asked as he pointed to the captive Amy in Metal's arms. "Research shows that this hedgehog is a valuable ally to Sonic. We use her as bait to draw him into our trap." Metal explained. "This is perfect! Soon we'll be rid of that pesky hedgehog, once and for all!" Eggman shouted with a wicked laugh.

Later, Sonic had managed to defeat all the Badniks that Eggman sent and rescued Amy before the Little Planet disappeared into the sky. "Oh, Sonic, you came to rescue me!" Amy cheered as she hugged him. "Hey, calm down!" Sonic exclaimed. Just then, Metal Sonic jumped down from the sky and confronted Sonic. "We meet again, hedgehog." Metal said. "So, you must be Metal Sonic, huh?" Sonic said. "Yes, now prepare for your final destruction." Metal said before he charged at Sonic and attempted to swipe him with his claws. Sonic was lucky enough to jump back and avoid the attack. "Too slow. Here, take this!" Sonic shouted as he jumped into the air. Sonic curled into his ball form and used his homing attack on his robotic copy. But Metal just reeled back his fist and punched the ball away. Sonic landed on the ground painfully as he felt the full force of Metal's attack "You cannot defeat me. I know every move you know." Metal said. "Oh yeah. How about this once." Sonic said as he curled into a ball again and started spinning in place. "What is this?!" Metal questioned. "This is a new move I like to call spin dash." Sonic answered before he launched himself at the copy. Metal tried to block, but the blue ball was moving to fast and crash through Metal's body. When it was over all that was left of Metal was his head.

Eggman showed up after the battle was over and picked up the remains of Metal Sonic. "You may have won this time, Sonic, but I'll be back!" Eggman shouted as he flew away in his Eggmobile. "I'll be waiting, Ro-butt-nik." Sonic said. Sonic was about to leave until Amy suddenly trapped him in her signature bone-breaking hug. "Whoa! What's wrong, Amy?" Sonic asked. "Nothing. I'm just so happy you saved me. now we can be together forever." Amy said. "WHAT!" Sonic shouted. "I love you, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Amy shouted, which greatly scared Sonic. Sonic had managed to break himself free of Amy's hold and stared to run away, but noticed that Amy was somehow still following him. This was going to be a long day.

---End Flashback---


Amy was just about to finish telling her story to Elise as they made their way towards the palace of Soleanna. "And I've followed him ever since. It was the power of love that kept me going." Amy finish. Elise was impressed by Amy's determination and her inability to give up. Elise wondered what it would be like is she lived her life the way Amy, free and always following her heart. As the two girls made their way to the palace doors, they soon found themselves surrounded by an army of white and red fighter mechs. Even with all the training she received from Kumori, Amy knew she couldn't take on all these mechs by herself. "Finally, I've been waiting so patiently for your return, princess." Eggman said as he floated down next to them in his Eggmobile. Eggman also took notice of Amy's presence as well. "Well, if it isn't Amy Rose. This day just gets better. Now come with me before I have to take drastic measures." Eggman threatened. Realizing that they had no choice, Amy and Elise gave in and willingly allowed themselves to be taken away by Eggman.
