Chapter 6: It's you...
That day Sonic was in his room, pondering about the clues that could lead him to Amy, surprisingly Shadow was also in his room. He too was thinking about this little dilemma, they both thought for hours and hours but neither of them could find anyway to pinpoint where Angels 4 Hell was. Sonic finally sighed; he glanced at the clock above his bedroom door, 1:30am it read, both he and Shadow had been thinking about this all day. He glanced at Shadow, who was leaning against the wall opposite him with his eyes closed, he couldn't tell if Shadow was either asleep in his current position or was still thinking about the situation at hand. But that was when Shadow's stomach growled, he opened his eyes to find Sonic staring at him.
"What are you looking at faker?" he said to Sonic.
"Nothing Shadow, I was just wondering if you have come up with something to help us find Amy." He said while putting his hands behind his head. Shadow sadly shook his head.
"Even though my mind is far more intellect then yours faker, I can't find a solution." He said looking to one side as if he was ashamed. Sonic headed towards the door while Shadow followed, both of them we're heading towards the kitchen since they had Amy on both of their minds they hadn't eaten even once yet. Shadow fixed himself a sandwich while Sonic went to the fridge and ate whatever he could find. They ate in silence, Sonic had never seen Shadow eat until now but of course not even The Ultimate Life Form can withstand hunger. When they had finished eating, Sonic was about to go back to his room so he could finally rest but then his communicator went off.
"Sonic, could you help us with an experiment we're doing?" came a voice of one of the policeman that Sonic had worked with.
"Sure, what is it?" Sonic replied.
"Well, we have another jewel that the robbers might steal but we have replaced it with a fake, therefore we need you to protect it as if it was real. We have also placed mini cameras around the place so we have a chance of getting footage at this robbery." The policeman said while Sonic listened to every word. Shadow had superior hearing being that he was an Ultimate Life Form and all and so he heard every word. Sonic had finished his conversation and was about to head out to the jewel store but Shadow had headed out to the jewel store first as if he wanted to come along. Sonic had a questioned look but nevertheless he took off after Shadow.
The Jewel Store
Shadow had reached the store first and had Chaos Controlled his way inside, while Sonic was looking at Shadow as if he wanted him to let him in. Shadow chuckled at Sonic; he started to walk away as if he was tormenting Sonic by leaving him outside, Sonic was now pounding on the door, wanting someone to let him in before he missed the robbery. Shadow once again chuckled at Sonic before letting him in.
"Shadow what the big idea leaving me outside like that?!" he said almost acting like a certain red echidna
"Careful 'Knuckles' you might do yourself an injury" he said taking an advantage of this situation to insult the blue hedgehog. Sonic glared at Shadow first but then he placed an arm behind his head and laughed nervously.
"Heh, looks like I kind of lost it then..." He said before he went to the fake jewel that he was had to protect. Shadow followed; tell me why I'm with faker again He asked himself unsure why he was with faker for this incredible amount of time, but then he received his answer. Amy. When they arrived at the fake jewel, Sonic stood in front of it (the security was set to a minimum so Sonic and Shadow could get to it with ease). Sonic and Shadow waited for what seemed like forever, Shadow was about to lose his patience (now that's saying something) but then he heard a slight screeching noise. Sonic's ears also heard this as Shadow saw his ears twitching. They both looked for the source of the noise but failed instead they found two figures on the opposite side that Sonic and Shadow were standing. Sonic got to his fighting stance ready to take on the robbers, when he noticed something; the robbers were wearing a similar material to Starlight. Both robbers had black clothing and both had a large hooded top concealing their faces.
Shadow watched the robbers closely not wanting to create an opening that these robbers could use to their advantage. Just then one of the robbers looked as if he was taken back. While the other stood in a similar position as was Shadow, both looking very confident. Shadow was first to make a move and charged at the confident looking robber, the robber seemed too chuckled and he too made a charged at Shadow. Sonic was momentarily frozen as he knew that these people were from Angels 4 Hell but he soon regained his composure and using his speed as he planned to make a surprise attack, but the robber was one step ahead and got out a hammer???? He swung the hammer which hit Sonic with full force and was sent flying to an opposite wall. Sonic was stunned for a couple of seconds but he snapped out of his dazed to find himself shocked. The impact of the swing had made the robber's hood slip off and so he saw that the robber who had just sent him flying was a girl!! But not any ordinary girl, it was in fact the one girl that had ever loved him. Amy. She was just like he had remembered her, beautiful face, fantastic figure and sparkling eye- he paused from his train of thought now that he gazed closely he saw that her eyes were very different, the sparkle that was once in her eyes was now replaced by sadness and no other emotions. He dropped his fighting stance, refusing to fight one of his best friends. But Amy didn't show this mercy as she charged at him with a fast speed that Sonic had ever seen and delivered another swung to his gut, Sonic doubled over, Amy then gave him a load of punches to the face and the gut this continued until Sonic had stopped her, he had grabbed her arm that was about to punch his face and kept a firm grip on it. Amy was about to punch him with her other arm but Sonic had gotten a hold of the other as well. She looked into his eyes as he looked as hers; they stared at each other, lost with each others eyes.
Shadow on the other hand was far from lost, he and the other robber was sending each other punches and kicks. Every now and then he would try to find the face of the robber but the hood he wore was too big and thus he couldn't find anything but darkness, but he had to admit his skills was very good, he couldn't find any chance that he could use to take an advantage and thus they both were still delivering blows to each other. Although it didn't have much effect, every time when one of them would punch or kick, the other would block, both were very focused but they both knew that sooner or later one of them would had to slip up sooner or later. Just then the robber had given Shadow opportunity that he needed, Shadow grabbed the leg that was about to kick him and swung him to one side. He then jump onto the fallen opponent and held him by the collar making the hood fell off. He then saw a person that he thought he would never saw again. There was another pink hedgehog, her fringe covered her right eye and she had a rose behind her ear just as he had remembered.
"Master? ... "She said sounding like the whimpering child when he had found her, all of the confidence she had before had disappeared; he growled as he remembered the time that he was with her, he then stepped back so that she could stand up. She stood but then her confidence came back and so she had the same smirk that she had learned showing her confidence and followed Shadow's stance as he too had crossed his arms just like she had. She then made a sudden dash to the jewel and picked it up carefully, but then she looked at it suspiciously, she glanced back at Shadow from the corner of her eye who had a smirk on his face, she growled at him letting the jewel fall from her fingers and letting it smash on the floor. She turned around fully so that she faced Shadow directly, Shadow stared at her eyes as she did him, then they both closed there eyes, remembering all the moments that they had together. But when Shadow opened his eyes he only saw Sonic and the smashed pieces of the fake jewel on the cold floor.
When the jewel smashed into millions of pieces, the sound of it snapped both Sonic and Amy back into reality, Amy looked around for a moment as if she didn't know where she was, she then felt if someone was picking her up, she looked and saw Rose desperately trying to get Amy free from Sonic's grasp but to no avail. Rose's temper then flared up as she kicked Sonic to the same wall that he had just been sent to (poor, poor Sonic, please forgive me everyone) Rose then picked up Amy and used her watch that she had on her arm to teleported her and Amy back to base.
Shadow and Sonic both headed back when they finished explaining to the police what had happen but they didn't used Amy's name for her own protection, also the mini cameras setted up were somehow damaged and so once again no footage was taken. Shadow hadn't said a word when they headed back, the appearance of a girl he never would have thought he would see again had him somewhat stunned. Sonic had noticed Shadow's silence, he wanted to ask him about it but it has been a long day for both of them and so he kept his mouth shut. When Sonic reached Tails apartment he felt a gush of wind past him as he saw Shadow running past him and to the forest where he usually was. Sonic was now inside Tails apartment and was now in his room, he lay inside his bed, he stared at the ceiling and thought about Amy, I want her to be my only thought from now onhe thought as his eyes slowly closed.
Shadow was walking through the same forest where he had found her; it was after the G.U.N incident when everyone was leaving Shadow on his own for a while when he had found her silent and still form. He stopped walking to the place where he had found her, the memories came back as if it was yesterday, and he looked at the carving on a particular tree which she had made. He clenched his fist as he lay next to the tree with the carving, he gazed to a patch of roses next to the tree, this reminded him of her even more, and he continued to look at them until his eyes finally closed, drifting him to sleep.
Wow... not a bad chapter, if this chapter is a little too complicated then tell me and I'll try to make the future chapters less complex. I'm determined to finish this story so if it seems that I've given up, well I haven't. I might be held back by school work but don't give up folks, the next chapter should be up next week, keep reviewing everyone!!
