SORRRRRYYYYYY....story so far if you've forgotten: POV is through Amy, and right now Sonic got off Eggman's ship with a scratch and a bad attitude, while Shadow and Rouge try to make peace with everyone for betraying them. Sonic got in a fight with Amy about yelling at Cream, then he left. Next thing Amy knows, some creature drags her out of the room! ......

Chapter 7

I kicked and screamed. Something had grasped my spikes and pulled me out of the kitchen. I thought it was going to crush my head because its hands and claws were enormous.

"Sonic, anybody, help me!" I shrieked. Suddenly the creature stopped and I heard something growl. I looked up to see what had hold of me. It was a dark creature that was glowing red with spikes on its back and a face shaped like a lizard. It was staring at something else down the hallway, which was making the growling noise. I tugged away from its claws, and surprisingly this time it let go of me. I crawled away enough from the creature before standing back up and looking back at it. Its attention wasn't toward me at all, though, but the figure hiding in the shadows on the other side of the hall. The creature screeched as it ran after the figure. I watched as the figure simply smashed the creature into the floor with its huge, furry fists. The creature turned into black mist and vanished. I gaped at the figure that saved me.

"H-hello?" I tried to say. I took a step forward and it took a step back farther in the dark shadows. "Hey, who are you?" I asked gently. Before I could do anything else, though, the figure turned the corner running. "Wait!" I dashed after it but bumped into something when I turned the corner. "Shadow! Where'd it go?" Shadow looked behind his shoulder; a grin aroused.

"Where's what?" He asked.

"Don't play dumb with me! You're tellin' me you didn't see that freaken giant thing run down the hallway?! Now where'd it go!?" Before he could reply, Tails called out on the intercom:

"Everyone, come into the control room quick! You'll know why if you've looked out the window recently!" I didn't hesitate to find the nearest window; I looked outside to see us flying near earth; or whatever was left of it. The earth had been shattered into different parts! And there was a purple haze engulfing it. Shadow stood next to me with his arms folded.

"I thought you would have seen it by now." He commented.

"Well, sorry; it was a little difficult to notice when you're being dragged by some freaky creature!" His eyes widened.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He demanded more seriously.

"Well, some monster picked me up and was going to drag me somewhere, but then it let me go and another monster ran in this direction; you're telling me you didn't see a giant figure run this way?!" Shadow paused.

"Are you alright?" He questioned. I was a little stunned he'd bothered to ask. I nodded my head.

"I was scared, and, I thought Sonic might come, but…"

"But he didn't? I have a good hunch why…" He murmured. I stared at him suspiciously while he gazed outside at the earth in thought.

"Go to the control room," he ordered, "we should go find out what's going on." I nodded my head in agreement and trotted down the hallway, quickly. I was scared I might run into one of those dark creatures again!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Shadow went down the opposite hall, gliding on his shoes. When he saw Sonic leaning against the wall, dizzy, he didn't hesitate to punch him in the face. He picked him up again by the fur on his chest.

"What's wrong with you?" Shadow growled. "I thought you said you could control the power when you turned into that thing!" Sonic coughed, a little bruised and baffled by Shadow.

"I can control it! One of those creatures got on board and tried to kill Amy; I destroyed it, though!" Shadow flinched.

"You mean to tell the creature that attacked Amy was one of those monsters Eggman released from the earth, not you?" Sonic, with his eyes furrowed, nodded his head.

"Humph." He dropped him and clapped his hands together. He was about to turn around and walk away, but Sonic turned and punched Shadow in the back with one of his huge, furry fists.

"Don't mess with me, Shadow!" Sonic howled. Shadow turned around to look at the appearance of the transformed Sonic. He was a little taller, his arms and feet were much wider, and his dark blue colors had faded almost to grey. His eyes were sharp and his fangs were dripping.

"Sheesh Sonic," Shadow taunted, "Talk about losing your temper, I'd be careful if I were you."

"Well, you're not me, so butt-out!"

"I wonder: have you shown anyone else besides me what you've become? I hope you realize what a threat you are to your friends in this state. You might accidentally go overboard and-"

"SHUT UP! I told you I can handle it, okay?!"

"…Sure thing. Sorry for doubting you." Shadow sped off. Sonic waited until he was calmed and relaxed so he would change back and walked dizzily towards the control room.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I had hoped to see Sonic in the control room; but everyone else but him and Cream was in there. Shadow walked in last.

"What's going on, Tails?" Knuckles demanded.

"It seems Eggman launched the ARK onto the planet somehow so it would split open. He must've read about the Dark GIAIA manuscripts."

"What manuscripts?" Rouge asked. "I can honestly say that Shadow and I had NO idea Eggman was going to do something crazy like this."

"Whatever." I mumbled.

"According to these manuscripts, dark GIAIA comes out of the earth and destroys the planet with its ultimate powers. Eggman must be after that power, but he woke dark GIAIA up too early, which is why I think the earth isn't completely destroyed yet."

"So, what do we do?" I asked anxiously.

"Well, we're gonna have to figure that out when we get to earth. I know someone who might be able to help. Until then, we need to watch out for these dark creatures that-"

"I just saw one of those dark creatures just now! And Cream; oh no, where's Cream?" I looked around. Just then she walked in with Sonic. She ran up to me and hugged me.

"Amy, are you okay?" She cried. "That scary monster dragged you away and I didn't know what to do!" I almost laughed because she was making such a big deal about it.

"I'm okay, Cream, you don't have to worry." After Cream, Sonic came in, holding his head.

"Sonic! Do you know what's going on?" Tails asked.

"Oh, Sonic!" I cheered. I ran up and hugged him. He barely wrapped his arm around me; he seemed weak. "Are, are you okay?" I stammered. He smiled.

"'Never better. I'm just tired from fighting those dark creatures, that's all." I was happy because he seemed to be not so angry anymore.

"Why don't you tell Sonic what happened to you, Amy?" Shadow implied. I frowned. Why did he want me to tell Sonic?

"Oh…Nothing happened," I lied with a smile, "I just saw one, that's all." To my surprise Sonic looked up at me, grimacing.

"Are you sure about that?" He asked. Everyone else looked at me too because they already knew I was lying to him.

"Yep! You have nothing to worry about." There was silence for a brief moment.

"We're about to land." Tails informed us. I felt butterflies in my stomach. What was this fluttering feeling? I felt like I was in trouble for some reason.

BC737: Okayyyyyy my gosh sorry its been a while. I hit writers block BIG TIME, then I actually played Sonic Unleashed (If you've noticed by the story so far) but I won't be going by the Sonic gameplay. Thanks for reading and REVIEWING! XD
