(Hey readers just to let you know, if you are wondering who Gio is he's my co-writer so I decided to add him into the story and just to let you know that both Gio and Saori are hedgehogs so there won't be any surprises later on in the story well later and don't forget to review I love to hear good reviews and if you are going to flame me and Gio's work I suggest you don't if don't want to get blocked so know flames and I'm still open to constructive criticism, and that don't mean criticizing me or my readers.)
"All right you're free to go, but do something like that again, and you'll be thrown in the chair." After many years, Arnold Rose was now being released from prison. He headed to the front counter and received all of his items that he had when he first arrived. As Arnold walked out the front doors of the building as a free man. "Now to get my daughter back and I know exactly where to look first."
With Sonic and Amy...
Sonic woke up to find that Amy wasn't next to him. "Amy," He called out. "I'm in the kitchen Sonic," she replied. Sonic got out of bed, walked (more like ran) to the kitchen, and wrapped his arms around Amy. "Good morning Amy, what'cha making?" He asked as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I decided to make some blue-berry pancakes for breakfast." "Sounds good to me." "Great go have a seat they'll be ready momentarily"
She stated as Sonic sat at the table.
"Hey Amy how did you learn to cook?" He asked
"Oh well my grandpa really taught me but as I got older I learned things on my own and well here I am a great cook." Amy answered as she placed a plate of pancakes in front of Sonic walking away sighing.
"Okay what was that for?" Sonic asked
"What was what for?" Amy asked
"That sigh you just let out, what's wrong baby?" Sonic asked
"Well I can't help but worry about my grandpa you know it's been 3 weeks since I've seen him and well I'm kinda worried you know." Amy answered
"Hey if you're worried why not call him I don't mind the long distance charges go ahead call him." Sonic offered
"Really you don't mind?" Amy asked as Sonic shook his head
"Alright I'll do it but after breakfast." Amy finished as she made herself a plate and both her and Sonic sat down for breakfast
Meanwhile In Japan...
"Well who would have thought after all these years this place would still be open and doing business." Arnold stated as he entered Baba's cafe.
The cafe was open but it was nearing closing time and Saori was cleaning up
"I'm sorry sir we're closing up for the night." Saori replied
"Don't worry I'm here to see the owner named Fred Rose." Arnold stated
"Okay I'll go and get him." Saori finished as she ran in back to get Mr. Rose she came out with him walking behind her with his cane he looked up and saw who it was and froze but just for a mere second.
"Well Arnold I never thought I'd see you again." Mr. Rose replied
"Dad how have you been?" Arnold asked
"You have no right to call me that, you are in no way my son anymore to this very day I still am glad my child kept her last name so what's brings you here?" Fred replied and asked
"Well I'm here for my daughter you time as her guardian is finished it's time for her old man to take over so where is my little Amy?" Arnold replied and asked
"Wait no way this man is Amy's dad and you daughter's husband?" Saori questioned
"No he's my daughter's ex-husband and granddaughter's ex father you have no daughter anymore." Fred replied
"Enough where is my child?" Arnold asked
"I won't tell you where she is but I'll tell you she's not here, she somewhere else living a happy fun filled life and there's nothing you can do about it." Fred finished as Arnold jumped over the counter and pushed him against the wall.
"I said where is she?" Arnold asked with complete anger and rage as he held him by the collar of his shirt against the wall.
"I'll never tell you for I wish for history to not repeat itself, you have a history of violent behavior and I won't subject my granddaughter to your violent ways so I'll never tell you." Fred replied with strain not noticing the Saori was grabbing her serving tray. She eased her way closer to Arnold and Fred and swung the tray only to miss and be pushed to the ground knocking her head against a table making her pass out.
"Saori stay out of this, this doesn't concern you." Fred stated as the phone rang Arnold picked up the phone and looked at the caller id and noticed it said Sonic The Hedgehog.
"Why is the world famous hero Sonic calling you unless, you thought you could hide it from me well too bad no such luck, answer it and talk to him." Arnold ordered as he answered the phone and put it on speaker phone and then mouthed the words speak to Fred.
On The Phone...
"Hello?" Fred answered
"Hi Baba it's me Amy" Amy replied
"Amy hi how have you been my dear?" Fred asked
"I've been having a great time here in America with Sonic, and how about you are you taking care of yourself and taking your insulin regularly." Amy answered and asked
"Yes Amy I have and I've been good." Fred answered
"That's good I was just a little worried about you is all and how has Saori been?" Amy replied and asked
"She's been fine also, listen it's time for us to close up the cafe I'll talk to you later." Fred finished
"Oh okay great to know you're doing well and tell Saori I said hi and also Sonic says hi as well." Amy replied
"Hi Sonic make sure you protect my little Amy with your life like you promised." Fred finished as Arnold hung up the phone.
"So that's where Amy is, she's in America with Sonic why did you send her to live with him?" Arnold replied and asked
"If you really must know Sonic is Amy's boyfriend and he loves her unconditionally and nothing you say or do will ever change that." Fred replied as Arnold released him
"Oh we'll see if what I say and do doesn't change anything." Arnold finished as he stormed out of the restaurant
Fred made his way over to Saori by crawling over to her; he picked her up into his lap to check on her to see if she was okay.
"Saori can you hear me are you okay?" Fred asked as she slowly came too
"Have I stopped moving yet?" Saori asked
"Saori what are you talking about?" Fred asked
"Well everything is spinning so I think I'm moving." Saori finished as Fred laughed from relief that she was okay.
"Where did Amy's daddy go?" Saori asked
"He left but I believe Amy may be in danger, he knows where she is but a least he doesn't know exactly where she is in America." Fred finished
With Arnold
He stormed off from the cafe and went to a nearby park where he found a bench to sit on while he thought to himself.
"Well I know she's in America but where on earth in America could she be, I mean I know Sonic is a world hero that's just it he's saved so many different places around the world so how will I find them and another thing that stills puzzles me is how I got out of jail when I was supposed to be in there for life for killing Mary." Arnold thought out loud
"Well all those questions sir I believe I can answer for you." A man stated coming into the light from the shadows
"Wait aren't you, damn it what was your name again." Arnold replied trying to think
"I'm Dr. Ivo Robotnik or you may know me as Dr. Eggman, Sonic's arch nemesis how do you do Arnold?" Eggman introduced himself and asked
"How the hell do you know my name?" Arnold asked
"Well I've done my share of research into the past of one Amy Rose and I can tell you that's how I learned your name as well as her mother Mary Rose." Eggman answered
"Well that explains that but what about the answer to my other questions?" Arnold replied and asked
"Well as for how you got out of jail I paid your seriously expensive bail consider it a way of me helping you to get you daughter back as well as where she is, she's living in two story apartment with Sonic The Hedgehog my nemesis in town called Station Square in the state of Pennsylvania in the city of Pittsburgh." Eggman answered
"Well that answers all my questions but why are you here." Arnold asked
"Well our goals are somewhat similar, you want your daughter back and well I just plain want to get rid of Sonic all together so I propose we team up and together we can get what we truly want so what do you say?" Eggman offered and asked as he held out his hand.
"You've got yourself a deal." Arnold finished shaking Eggman's hand
Before Arnold left with Eggman he paid a visit to his best friend Gio whom which he have been friends with for years. He arrived at his house and knocked on the door. It was the middle of the night so of course he was waking Gio up.
"Who is it?" Gio asked from behind the door
"It's me Arnold." Arnold replied as Gio opened the door rubbing his eyes.
"Arnold?" "What are you doing here and out of jail?" Gio asked
"Look long story short my dad made a bad mistake and I need to rectify it and well I won't be able to do it without my best friend to back me up are you able to accompany me?" Arnold explained and asked
"Well I'll need some detail before I just say yes." Gio stated
"Are you in or not I'll explain in detail later." Arnold stated
"Alright fine, but it better a good reason for me to come with you." Gio finished as he packed his bags and soon followed Arnold to the rendezvous point for him to meet Eggman which was a clearing in the forest where a large yet medium sized air ship laid as the approached the craft a door opened as a gold and silver robot came out and took their bags and allowed the entrance onto the craft and soon they were on their way to America.
"Alright Arnold time for you to explain in detail what we are going to do." Gio ordered
"Well my dad gave a very special treasure away to some guy and I want it back and the reason I said I might need your help is because he gave it to the world famous hedgehog by the name of Sonic.
"Wait you want me to fight with Sonic The Hedgehog?" Gio asked
"Only if he doesn't hand over my treasure easily." Arnold replied
"Okay if and only if is when I might consider fighting him.
With Sonic and Amy
"Hey Amy since it's not real late how about me and you go out and have some fun?" Sonic asked
"Sure what do you have in mind?" Amy answered and asked
"Well I was thinking we could go to Twinkle Park and then afterwards I would take you somewhere extra special to me." Sonic explained
"I'm game let me go and change my clothes then I'll be ready to go." Amy finished as she ran upstairs changed into a different outfit and came back down in ten minutes ready to go as both her and Sonic headed out of the house and headed to across the street to Twinkle Park unaware of a pair of eyes watching them.
"Well there he is where is this so called treasure of yours?" Gio replied and asked
"His hand is on her waist." Arnold replied as Gio looked where his hand was.
"Wait your treasure is your daughter Amy, whoa before you start anything with this guy you should know your daughter wanted to go with him because she loves him, your dad give her away she went because she wanted to go." Gio explained
"No one will have custody of my daughter but me and if you aren't going to help me then go back to Japan for all I care but I'm not leaving here without my daughter." Arnold scowled with his finger in Gio's face
"Fine then but don't come crying to me when he kicks your ass." Gio finished as he stormed off
We find our hedgehog couple strolling in Tinkle Park, enjoying the rides, playing games, and went on the tunnel of love. After they were done, they headed to the forest where Sonic had a surprise for Amy.
"Alright cover your eyes and keep them covered." Sonic ordered as he guided Amy through the forest
"Oh Sonic, can I look now?" Amy asked
"Not yet, we're almost there." Sonic answered
After a few miles of walking, Amy opened her eyes to see that Sonic had brought them to a lake, with the full moon shining down at them.
"Wow Sonic, it's beautiful. How did you-?" Amy stopped as Sonic shushed her.
"When you travel the globe, babe, you find places that weren't discovered yet." Sonic finished
As Amy brought Sonic in for a kiss, Arnold stepped from the shadows and spoke.
"Stop, don't you even plant those filthy lips on my daughter." Arnold replied
"Who are you, to tell my girlfriend not to kiss me?" Sonic argued as Arnold came closer Amy then looked at him trying to get a good look at him when her eyes went wide as she realized who it was.
"Daddy?" Amy questioned
"It's good you recognize me baby girl now come here so I can take you home." Arnold finished holding his arms out to Amy
"1. What the hell are you doing here and out of jail you were supposed to be locked away for life, 2.I'm not going anywhere with you, and 3. Fuck going home with you I'm staying here with my Sonikku." Amy finished as she stood in front of Sonic.
Arnold came up to her and smacked Amy to the ground as hard as he could.
"I will not have my only child talk back to me ever now let's go." Arnold ordered as Amy got up and instead of doing like her dad said she kicked him in the stomach and punched him to the ground.
"I can see you won't come easy so I only have one thing to say NOW." Arnold finished as a mechanical arm grabbed Amy.
"SONIC!" she screamed.
"AMY!" He jumped to save her, but was pushed back down by a red male hedgehog.
"Sorry Sonic, but I'm taking my daughter back." Arnold said with his foot on Sonic's back.
But, it wasn't long till Eggman summoned one of his Shadow android's and had it attack Arnold from behind.
"I thought we were partners Eggman. Arnold replied
Eggman, operating the machine that held Amy, laughed.
"We are, but I just needed you to get Sonic out of the way so I can start the Eggman Empire. Shadow Android's...FINISH HIM!"
As the Shadow copies attacked Arnold, Sonic regained consciousness and saw Eggman squeezing Amy in the robotic hand. "SONIC!, HELP ME" Amy cried as the arm squeezed her until she passed out
Sonics' fur than began to turn dark, becoming a very pissed off Dark Sonic.
Thunder, rain, and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamour, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign
Eggman was now scared out his mind and literally crapping a load in his pants and he swallowed a lump of spit he heard Sonic shout. "EGGMAN! YOU'VE PICKED THE WRONG HEDGEHOG TO MESS WITH."
Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us!
Arnold was destroying the Shadow clones one by one as best he could with them slowly starting to win, until a dark-purple hedgehog came in the fight and destroyed the robots in the snap of his fingers.
"Arnold, how many times am I going to save your sorry ass?" Arnold knew that voice anywhere, it was Gio.
All the steps we take all the moves we make, all the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone who are we what can we do
You and I are same in the way that we have our own styles that we won't change
Yours is filled with evil and mine's not there is no way I can lose
"Gio, what the hell are you doing here, I thought you went home?" Arnold asked as he offered Arnold his hand, which he accepted, and pulled off the ground. " I was but I decided to show you why you can't take Amy."
"SHE IS MY DAUGTHER, SO I CAN TAKE HER WHENEVER I WANT TO.", Arnold snapped.
"Really? Look man, Sonic is saving her. You would do the same for 'her' wouldn't you?" Gio asked
* Can't hold on much longer - But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track - Tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way - Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn - Now I see what I've gotta do
OPEN YOUR HEART, IT'S GONNA BE ALLRIGHT
Arnold knew who Gio was referring to. He remembered all the times he would rescue his wife from any danger. Now, Sonic was doing the same.
Ancient city blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger
Dark Sonic ran towards the arm and in one punch, destroyed it completely and landed on the ground. He jumped up, grabbed Amy, and set her next to a nearby tree. He stroked her cheek as a way of getting her to wake up. Her eyes fluttered open as she got a look at Sonic she tilted her head trying to understand what was going on.
"Sonic?" Amy asked as Sonic put his finger to her lips yet again and spoke
"Don't fear Amy I just turn this way whenever a person I care deeply about is getting hurt cause I hate to see that I'll explain the rest once we get home for now just sit there and watch your man in action." Sonic finished
I don't know what it can be but you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick; you won't have it your own way
* Repeat
Dark Sonic then began to concentrate, summoning the seven chaos emeralds. The gems began to spin around him, transforming him into Super Dark Sonic.
OPEN YOUR HEART...AND YOU'LL SEE...
(Guitar Solo)
"WHAT? THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. HOW-" Eggman was now even more scared as hell. Sonic opened his dark crimson eyes, looking directly at the now frightened doctor.
"Because Egg-shit, when you mess with my girl, YOU PAY THE PRICE."
If it won't stop, there will be no future for us
Its heart is tied down by all the hate, gotta set him free
Sonic used Chaos Control to teleport inside the huge robot, destroying it from the inside. He pulled and yanked several wires and wrecked several pieces of machinery inside making the robot malfunction.
I know it's a one way track - Tell me now how long this'll last
Close my eyes and feel it burn - Now I see what I've gotta do
GOTTA OPEN YOUR HEART, DUDE!
Arnold watched in amazement as he watched the dark-golden hedgehog winning the fight, saving his daughter, and him as well. As a last resort Eggman fired a missile at Arnold and Gio. Amy noticed it and called out to Sonic.
"Sonic my daddy and Mr. Gio help them." Amy shouted as Sonic Chaos Controlled over to the missile and kicked back at Eggman making it strike one of the legs and destroyed it.
* Repeat
With the robot almost destroyed, Sonic grabbed it and hurled into the sky. Eggman screamed with bloody terror as Sonic shouted "CHAOS BLAST" as he fired a huge beam of energy at the machine, destroying it and Eggman for good.
OPEN YOUR HEART, IT'S GONNA BE ALLRIGHT
Sonic then began to calm down, turning back to normal, he went over to the tree and picked Amy up and carried her bridal style, and ran back to his apartment, and placed her on the couch, he helped her get undressed so he could take a look at her she had a small bruise around her torso where the claw squeezed her, Sonic proceeded to get the first aid kit and bandage her around her torso as well as place an ice pack on her cheek where her dad slapped her. He continued treating Amy for 15 minutes until a knock came at his door. He got up and answered it to find a purple hedgehog standing at his door.
"Hi my name is Gio you may not know me but you know a friend of mine." Gio greeted and explained
"Oh I know you, I saw you help Amy's dad back there with Shadow androids, so what brings you here?" Sonic asked
"Well me and my friend wish to talk to you and Amy if it's alright?" Gio finished as Sonic allowed them inside he led them into the living room where Amy was.
"Who was it Sonic?" Amy asked
"Look to your left." Sonic ordered as she looked and noticed Gio and her father but upon looking at him she turned away and turned her nose up at him and huffed.
"Amy I know you are mad at him but he only wants to talk at least you could hear him out." Sonic stated
"Well my ears are wide open but I refuse to look at him." Amy finished
"Amy sweetheart I'm sorry it's just I didn't want anyone to hurt you because you and your grandfather are all I have left in my life and I just wanted to keep both you and him safe." Arnold explained
"You would've had mom left too if you didn't pull the plug on her." Amy replied choking back tears
"Amy it's time for a little truth to be revealed, yes I pulled the plug on your mother but not for the reason that was told to you, when doctor came in and saw me with the plug in my hand sure I said 'It was costing too much to keep her alive." But what I really should've said was that I didn't want her to suffer and neither did she it was her dying wish that I release her from her life of constant hospitalization." Arnold continued
"What do you mean?" Amy asked looking his way
"Here this is your mother's last words as well as a song for you." Arnold replied handing Amy a CD
"Sonic can you play this?" Amy asked as he nodded, he placed the CD in his stereo and pushed played and turned up the volume so they all could hear.
On The CD
Amy dear I don't want you to shed a single tear for me my sweet little angel, you probably wondering why I said something like that, it's because your father is going to help me find peace I've asked him to unplug my pace maker." Mary Rose stated
"You'll be fine my dear, you will all be fine I'll be watching you from a far, all I want is for you all to get right with god so that I'll see you again in heaven, you see Amy death is a part of life so you live life and love as hard as you can, not just love like saying I love you but the kind of love that can lead through my kind of life, leading through marriage, having a baby or two of your own and raising a wonderful family, but most important don't forget the things I've taught you. Listen to the words in this song I wrote and find peace and don't ever hate your father for what he will do.
SONG
After the pain, after the tears, after the suffering,
For so many years my body has let me down
Although I said no, my soul longs for freedom
So in peace let me go cause
Heaven waits for me
The gates I can almost see
Heaven waits for me
I'll get to sit at his feet because
Heaven waits for me
No more crying
I won't be alone
My mother is there waiting
For her child to come home
I'm so sorry, I have to leave you here
But if you knew where I was going
You wouldn't shed another tear
I traded mortal for immortality
God will get me some wings
I wish you could see
Don't cry for me, don't shed a tear
But whatever you do try to make it here
Oh heaven waits
For little old little old me yeah
Heaven wait for me
Swing low chariot, won't you let me ride it
Swing low chariot, won't you let me ride it
I fought the good fight
I kept my faith
Oh yes I finished the race
I made it (22X)
I made it yes I did
Swing low chariot, won't you let me ride it
Swing low chariot, won't you let me ride it
We where the sting of death (of death)
Where is your victory
I've been praying yeah
I've been praying yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh Father
Thank you (5X)
Oh yeah you're the father
You're the father (3X)
Oh it's the father yes
I'm finally home.
CD Ends
Amy throughout the playing managed to sit up and bury her face in her hands and cry throughout the rest of it after hearing her mother's last words and song. Sonic sat next to her and pulled her into his arms and let her cry on his chest.
"Amy I'm sorry I wanted to give it to you but the police took it from me before I could at least now you know the truth, and don't worry about what I said before I'm not taking you away from Sonic, dad was right to give him custody of you at least you can make you mothers wish come true." Arnold stated as Amy raised her head and wiped her last few tears away.
"You really mean it I can stay?" Amy asked as he nodded
"Sonic take care of her she means the world to me and if you do get married Amy at least allow me the chance to escort you down the aisle and give you away and I hope to meet a grandbaby soon and I know that goes vice versa for your grandpa." Arnold finished as Amy ran up to him and hugged him tight and him doing the same placing a kiss on her forehead.
"Goodbye Amy take care."Arnold finished leaving out of the apartment
"Guess this is good-bye Amy have a wonderful life and make sure you send me a wedding invite too you be good kiddo later." Gio finished leaving up behind Arnold as she shut the door.
"Well since I'm done bandaging you why don't we head on to bad." Sonic finished picking Amy up bridal style again carrying her upstairs and placing her in bed and covering her up with him changing into his pajamas and crawling into bed next to her.
He pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms around her as they both shared a good night kiss before drifting off to sleep in each other's arms.
(P.S The songs are Open Your Heart from Sonic Adventure, and Heaven Waits from a Tyler Perry play I watched called Madea's Big Happy Family.)
