Chapter Nine: Girls Should Stick Together
Amy was sitting all on her own. Her eyes still filled with tears since the events with Sonic happened. She sat on a bench near the cliff.
"Amy!" a voice called out.
"Huh? Who said that?" Amy called.
"It's me, Tikal. Up here." Tikal called out.
Amy looks up, and sees Tikal floating downwards from Angel Island. She slowly approached Amy, and landed softly in front of her.
"Tikal!" Amy exclaimed, as she hugged Tikal closely, Tikal hugged back.
"Amy!" another voice yelled out.
Amy and Tikal looked at where the voice was coming from. And saw Rouge flying towards them. Rouge landed right in front of them.
"Rouge!" Amy exclaimed, as she hugged Rouge, and Rouge hugged back.
They break the hug, after hearing the sound of a plane approaching. The plane was none other than the Tornado. And inside the Tornado was Tails and Cream. Cream jumped out of the Tornado, and ran towards Amy.
"Amy, are you alright? I was so worried about you!" Cream sobbed.
She made it towards Amy, and hugged her close. Amy hugged back.
"I'm fine now, Cream. Now that you're all here. And hello Tails." Amy said, waving at Tails.
"Hi Amy." Tails replied.
"But why are you three here? I texted Tails, Knuckles and Shadow to be here." Amy asked.
"Well, I'm here technically. But I believe the girls were worried, and they decided to tag along. As to where the other two guys are, I have no idea." Tails replied.
"He's right. And Knuckles went into the city, because he saw an explosion happen in the gas station, so he went to investigate what's going on." Tikal explained.
"Did he?! Coincidentally, Shadow is doing the exact same thing. He went to the city, while I flew here." Rouge explained.
"Well, if them two are going there, I'll go there too." Tails started the engine in the Tornado.
"Tails, you don't have to! You just got here!" Cream pleaded.
"Don't worry about me, Cream. Amy's the main priority now for you to look after. I'll be OK. I promise. I'll be back as soon as I can." Tails told her.
"OK, Tails. Be safe, I love you." Cream told him.
"I love you too. I'll see you later. Bye girls." Tails told them.
The girls all waved to him. After that, Tails moved the plane at high speed, and then the plane flew into the air. All the girls could do now is hope and pray that he and the guys will be alright.
"Amy, it's time for us to get back to Angel Island. We'll all be safe there, while the guys are sorting out what's going on with Sonic." Tikal explained.
The girls nod in agreement. With that, Tikal used her powers to levitate everyone up to Angel Island. After a while, they all made it on Angel Island, in front of Knuckles and Tikal's castle. Tikal was breathing heavily.
"Tikal, are you alright?" Cream exclaimed.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Don't worry." Tikal replied.
"Not supposed to be doing that when you're eight months pregnant, Tikal." Rouge told her.
"I know that, Rouge. Knuckles told me the same thing, but there's no other way I can get you, Cream and Amy here safe. I didn't want whatever danger is lurking to hurt anyone." Tikal whimpered.
After that, they all walked into the castle, and made their way to where the altar was, and sat near the Master Emerald.
"Well, I've been hurt. I'm fine now, but Sonic has never harmed me like that before." Amy stated.
"I'm convinced it's got something to do with that laser Scourge shot Sonic with. It's changed him a lot." Cream suspected.
"Noticed anything unusual about Sonic then, Amy?" Rouge asked.
"Well, I just remember his eyes were faded. His quills pointed upwards, and his coat was slowly turning black. His voice was deeper too." Amy explained.
Tikal gasped in horror.
"Super Dark Sonic!" Tikal shrieked.
"WHAT?!" The three yelled.
"Sonic's dark side. That form only occurs when someone has chaos energy within them, after using positive energy from the emeralds. And it's negative energy that's been building up inside him for years. His dark form can only happen when he is angry. So that laser must have caused him to be angry, and the inner darkness took control of him." Tikal explained.
"Shit!" Rouge screamed.
"This is bad!" Cream thought.
"What have I done?!" Amy whimpered as tears fell from her eyes.
"What do you mean by that, Amy?" Tikal asked.
"I feel like it's my fault, because I kind of baited him to be there, for Scourge to attack. Now I'm scared that he's not going to remember me!" Amy sobbed.
"Amy, it wasn't your fault. You didn't know he was going to attack. Nobody did." Cream stated.
"I don't think Sonic would ever forget about you. I sure hope not anyway." Rouge hoped.
"But right now, Amy. We all need to be strong for them, and hopefully something can be done about Sonic." Tikal explained.
Amy's eyes still flooding with tears. But she nodded her head in agreement.

(Cream singing)
The stars staring at this window pane
Just counting drops of rain
(Rouge singing)
We wonder if you've got the guts to take it
You run through your dreams in a dirty dress
(Tikal singing)
Now your heart's a mess
Pray that you'll find a way to make it
.
(Cream, Rouge and Tikal singing)
Now keep on climbing, though this ground may shake
Now keep on reaching, though this limb may break
We've come so far, do not be scared now
Because you may learn to fly, on the way down
.
(Cream singing)
Search long for a sign in this night, just like the lonely string of lights
It'll burn just long enough, so you will see it
(Rouge singing)
This is long and lonely, and you've felt like giving up
(Tikal singing)
There's more than this than just this breath you're breathing
.
(Cream, Rouge and Tikal singing)
Now keep on climbing, though this ground may shake
Now keep on reaching, though this limb may break
We've come so far, do not be scared now
Because you may learn to fly, on the way down
.
(Tikal singing)
On the way down
.
(Cream, Rouge, and Tikal singing)
You'll never forget those heavy steps you took to let this go
Close your eyes, count to ten, hold your breath and fly
.
Amy walked towards the balcony, and looked outside.
.
(Amy singing)
Keep on climbing, though this ground may shake
Now keep on reaching, though this limb may break
(Amy, Cream, Rouge and Tikal singing)
We've come so far, do not be scared now
Because you may learn to fly, on the way down
.
(Amy singing)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Fly
Fly
.
After that, all of them stood on the balcony, and looked into the horizon. They all hoped and prayed that things go well with the guys, and helping Sonic.
