Two: Deadly Alliance

Amy Rose gasped as she sat up in her bed. Wait. Her bed? The pink hedgehog looked around. She wasn't surrounded by G.U.N corpses anymore, nor was Sonic charging straight for her, ready to kill her. Amy let out a sigh of relief. It was all a dream.

"Amy?" She heard someone whisper. Amy looked up and saw her blue hero peeking inside from the door. His emerald green eyes looked sleeply, but filled with worry. Amy immdiately examiined him. No midnight blue fur, no dark aura...it was him!

"Sonic!" Amy cried as she ran towards him to give him a hug."You're okay!"

"Ugh, Amy lighten up will ya?" Sonic the Hedgehog groaned as he tried to pry himself out of Amy's tight hug. "What the heck are you talking about?"

Amy blinked, realizing what had just come out of her mouth. She shook her head. "Nothing. It was just a...dream I had."

Sonic raised an eyeridge. "About me?"

"Uh...welll...no---uh...yeah..."

"So it was about me."

Amy looked down at her hands and nodded. Her head jolted up to face Sonic. "But it wasn't anything bad! It was just..." Her voice trailed off.

"Listen...Amy," Sonic sat on the side of the pink hedgehog's bed."I'm your friend. You can tell me anything. Even if it is about me."

Amy forced a smile, wishing that the blue hedgehog said something else than 'friend'."I'm okay, Sonikku. Honest. It's nothing bad."

Sonic let out a sigh."Okay. I believe you...but if you want to talk, don't hesitate to talk to me, kay?"

Amy nodded."Hai, arigato, Sonikku."

"You're welcome," Sonic stood up. "Now you better get some sleep. Good night, Amy."

"Good night," Sonic left. Amy laid back on her bed and let out a sigh.

What was that all about? Why was Sonic like that? Amy kept on asking herself those questions until she drifted back to sleep and back into the very same nightmare.

Sonic quietly shut the door to Amy's room. What could she have dreamt about? Sonic wondered as he headed towards his room. Know it was about me...but what happened? Could it be--- The blue hedgehog shook her head in doubt. No...she's forgotten about all of that shit that happened. He stopped in his tracks and looked up. Damn...if only none of that had happened...if only I had never consumed those fake Chaos Emeralds... He stared sadly at the ground. Maybe Amy would be okay...

"Sonic..."

The blue blur briskly turned around, but saw no one. "Who's there?" Sonic whispered. "Where are you?!"

"No where where can see me," The voice answered. "I'm inside you...just waiting to come out."

Sonic took a step back. "Who are you and how are you inside me?!"

The voice let out a dark laugh. "All in due time, my friend. I will reveal myself when the time is right...when I have enough power to break free from this cage. For now, it seems that you just have to wait, but don't worry...that day will come very soon..." There was a dead silence after.

"Are you sure this is the place, Mecha?" Dr."Eggman" Robotnik questioned his robot, Mecha Shadow. The two were in an underground tunnel searching for their destination.

"Are you doubting my calculations, Doctor?" Mecha Shadow asked as he checked his wrist computer for the millionth time."They're never wrong, you should know that." Eggman grunted remembering the numerous times his Shadow clone had led him over a cliff or into the traps of his nemisis, Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Just show the way Mecha!"

"Okay, Doctor..." He continued to travel to the tunnels, all while checking his wrist computer."Do you think this plan of yours will work? The last time you joined forces with him...your double-crossing got double-crossed." He attempted to hold back his laughter but that sensation soon dissappeared when he saw his master glare at him.

"I'm sure it will work this time, Mecha." Eggman grinned."It will be an offer so tempting, he will agree to it immediately!"

Mecha muttered something that sounded like,"Yeah right," but Eggman was too into his ideas to hear him.

After a few more minutes, Mecha Shadow stopped infront a huge door."This is it, Doctor. This must be the entrance to his lair."

"Well, don't just stand there, Mecha! Tear that door down!"

Mecha Shadow rolled his eyes, then lifted his right arm, aiming for the door. His hand was replaced by a cannon which shot down the door. Immediately when they entered, they heard a siren sound.

"Crap," Mecha Shadow said as he lifted his hands up."We've been caught."

"That's all part of the plan!" Eggman said as he flew further into the lair in his Egg Walker all while knocking any Black Chaoses in his way. They soon arrived at another door. This one was bigger than the recent one. He was about to blast it open when...

"Look who has the guts to barge into my lair." Someone said.

Eggman turned around and saw Kazu the Black Chaos with a group of Black Chaoses.

"Kazu!" Eggman said."I've been looking all over you! I have come with an offer that you will not be able to resist!"

"Should I signal an attack on him and that hunk of metal?" Senka the Black Chaos asked.

"Hey I---" Mecha Shadow started.

"I suppose," Kazu interrupted in a tone of boredom. He raised one of his arms to point at Eggman."Take them down."

"Waitwaitwait!" Eggman said frantically while waving his hands infront of him."You don't understand! I have a weapon that is strong enough to kill even that annoying blue hedgehog!"

Kazu paused for a bit, then lowered his arm."Sonic?" He repeated.

Eggman nodded."Yes. With my weapon and your magic, we'll be able to destroy Sonic and his comrades!"

Kazu stared at him."What's in it for me?"

"...the pride of knowing you were involved in the murder of Sonic the Hedgehog."

"Then I have no interest." Kazu raised his arm once again."Attac---"

"Okay! Okay! Whatever you want just help me kill that hedgehog!"

The Black Chaos lowered his arm once again."That's better. Now, where do we start?"

"First we find a guniea pig," Eggman started."and for this experiment, it will be...Sonic the Hedgehog."

Woo...Eggman and Kazu teaming up? That can't be good. And who was the voice that Sonic heard at night? All of these questions will be answered soon! (I hope...)
