Sonic and Tails flew through the atmosphere with victory and determination, touching the sky with succession in the X Tornado. Their flying machine broke through the clouds and slashed through the air. Sonic steered on the left, and Tails steered on the right. "We must be almost there," Tails said. He kept his eyes locked on ahead and looked with determination in his narrowed blue eyes. Sonic was determined twice as much as him. He caused this mess, and he knew he had to fix it. "I'm not stopping this plane until we find Amy!" he exclaimed. "So we better find that mountain range. Whatever's causing her trouble is gonna be torn apart by the time I get my hands on it!"
Tails glanced at Sonic with a look of surprise in his eyes. He's never seen his sidekick care for Amy so much, which startled him when he first did. "Sonic…" he began. "You like Amy…don't you?" Sonic's eyes grew wide as his heart began to accelerate. "No! O-of course not!" he stammered. "I…I just—"
"Miss her?" Tails finished him off. Sonic sighed and blinked. "I really don't know, buddy. All I know is that I have to find and save her." Tails nodded. "But I do NOT like her!" Sonic snapped. Tails chuckled and poked Sonic's side. "Yeah, right!" Sonic gripped the steering wheel tighter and growled in frustration.
Their handheld tracker device began to beep rapidly. The screen read, "APPROACHING DESTINATION". Tails grinned from ear to ear and crinkled his brows together in determination. "It's tracking down the Wizard's Mountain Range! We're about there!" he exclaimed with a squeal of happiness in his voice. "Great!" Sonic said. "We're reaching success, buddy!" They lowered the X Tornado closer towards the land and out of the ozone. Their eyes were locked on below. They saw just flat typical land streaking by below, and then in a few seconds they could see the land becoming steeper and more elevated. The device began to beep crazily as the screen read "REACHED DESTINATION". "Yes! We're here!" Sonic exclaimed. His eyes glistened at the thought of seeing Amy again.
Below them was a huge clutter of valleys and mountains that rose from the ground as high as sky scrapers. They desperately searched for the tallest one, where the device said that she was in. "There!" Tails shouted, pointing down at a high mountain that was just a few feet away from touching the X Tornado. Sonic unbuckled himself from his seat and jumped up. He grabbed the handle on the exit door in the front beside him and looked back at Tails. "Hold on, buddy," he said. "I'll be back in a sec. This won't take long. But if I don't get back out of the cave soon, well…come in there and look for me." Tails nodded. Sonic opened the door and was immediately blasted with a wind gust. His fur was blowing everywhere as the coldness of the wind gusts sent a chill down his body. He took a deep breath and jumped from the X Tornado. He fell through the air like a sky diver, feeling the wind whistle through his ears.
The tall mountain came closer to him below as he rolled into a ball and plunged his quills in every direction like a pinwheel. He straightened out his body again and plunged his feet towards the mountain in order to land vertically without breaking anything. In a split second he reached the cliff on the peak and landed perfectly. He threw his arms out straight from side to side to keep himself balanced. "Dude, that was awesome!" he exclaimed to himself. "I'm a pro when it comes to sky diving." His face turned serious when he saw the cave opening in the distance on the long cliff. "Alright, Amy," he said. "Here I come." He took a deep breath and zipped over to the side of the opening in only a split second. He pressed his back against the side of the cave door, holding his arms stiffly to his sides as a spy would do when sneaking around in a hideout. He turned his head to the side to barely peek inside, trying to keep in his stealth form. He managed to see a glimpse of inside, and his lips parted in shock. It looked different than from what he was expecting it to look like.
He glanced all around inside, but once he drifted his eyes over in the distance of the cave room, his heart began to pound hard in his chest. In the center of the room was the pink hedgehog, Amy. She was restrained in the cushioned chair which startled Sonic. He also saw a wolf towering over her, sticking a bottle of purple potion in her face, but Amy turned her head away. "No! That wolf must be holding her prisoner…" Sonic whispered. He slowly snuck inside, zipping over to a shelf against the wall. He hid behind it and peeked at the two. "Drink the potion, you stubborn little brat!" he heard the wolf threaten. "Never! Just let me go!" Amy said. Sonic looked around anxiously, planning of how to free her. Before he could think, his eyes widened and his head shot up when he heard her yelp. He saw Nyra grabbing her throat and opening her mouth with force. "You will drink it! Now open wide, my dear!" Sonic couldn't take it. He plunged himself out from behind the shelf and in the open in front of them. "Stop! Let her go!" he demanded. Amy's eyes brightened and she gasped in awe. "Sonic!"
Nyra made a fist and narrowed her eyes on him. "YOU! Wicked, wicked hedgehog…" she growled. She snarled and revealed her fangs, which sent a chill down his spine. "Who ARE you? Get out of my cave at once!" Sonic kept his eyes locked on her and prepared to fight. "Not on my life!" He stood his ground and kept firm. Amy stared in awe, but felt safe knowing Sonic is in the cave with her. Nyra snarled once again and looked at him with a smirk on her face. "Then so be it." He watched her carefully with his angry eyes. "Sonic! Behind you!" Amy cried out. He turned around quickly in shock. "Huh?" A net flew out of an opening on the wall behind him and bulleted towards him. Before he could act, the net grabbed him and closed like a tent with him trapped inside. "UGGH!" he grunted. "Let me go!" He stirred around in the floor trying to break free of the closed net. He froze as he heard the sound of Nyra's wicked laughter. "You thought you could save your little friend? Hahaha, I think not." Sonic gritted his teeth as she towered above him, peering down at him with her evil eyes. She pulled out her staff and pointed the orb at Sonic. He stared at it with scared eyes as it began to shake and hiss with power. Amy leaned forward in the chair and clinched her teeth. "Sonic, look out!" Nyra let out an evil laugh as the orb gleamed with a harsh white light that nearly blinded Sonic. He turned his head and shielded his face with his arm as the room was swallowed by the blinding white light. "ERRUGHH!"
