Central Town: Confrontations

"So there you are!" Amy exclaimed. Sonic jumped and sent Sally falling straight into the sauna. Amy's outfit was muddy, covered in grass stains and ripped in various sections. She looked even more hurt when she saw Sally climbing back out of the water, "And who's this whore! I get left behind for a measly hour; and already you've picked up some other chick..."

Amy looked deeply into Sally's eyes as she stood up out of the water and put her hands on her hips, "So I'm a whore now, Rosie? Is that what you think of me?"

Amy's cheeks blushed lightly, "Sally…? I-I'm Sorry...I'm just hurt-"

Sally cut her off; still insulted, "No Amy...Look. I know you've loved Sonic for as long as you've been around him. And in my opinion you deserve him a bit more than I do...It's just that..." Sally looked Sonic as he stood up, "We have history...Besides…You have to have met someone other than him that you were attracted to..."

Amy hung her head down, finally getting the big picture, "Right...heh. It was just a silly crush, huh? Well I guess it makes sense...Not very many people have the ability to meet the man of their dreams..." She looked up at Sally, "Besides...You saw him first. It wouldn't be right to steal him from you."

Sally looked confused, "Wait, Amy. I never said you were trying to steal Sonic from me. I just don't think it would work between you two. I don't want your sweet innocent heart to get involved with someone so unpredictable."

Sonic cleared his throat, "You do know that I'm right here, right? And I'm not unpredictable."

Sally scoffed, "You are as unpredictable as most shows on Nickelodeon."

Amy smiled, "See? You guys argue back and forth like you're already married...I'm happy for you two and hope you enjoy each other's company..." She quickly changed the subject, "Well I'm done searching areas through Knothole. I think I'll head over to Northern City and debrief at the United States Knotholean District, where the U.S. leaders are currently staying...See you guys later..." She walked away slowly. Sonic felt the urge to go after her; but it would only bring about more conflict.

"I feel like such an ass...I can't believe I just dissed my most obsessed fan girl...Did I make the right choice, Sal?"

Sally stared at him, "Well I sure hope so! Especially when this 'right choice' just happens to be me...Do you love me Sonic? Or did you just say that to climax the series finale. Was that even real?" Sally folded her arms and turned looking toward the peaceful town of Knothole, "Or have I really been just one of your whores all this time?" Sally felt a teardrop flow down her left cheek. As you can see, Sonic was not very good when it came to women.

But he did know when to say the sweetest, cheesiest things on Mobius, if anything. Sonic came behind her and embraced her back, "Is grass green? Is water wet?" Sally smiled and giggled lightly as Sonic enjoyed the heated moment. Just when they thought they could forget about the world around them as they enjoyed each other's presence, Wail screamed as he was thrown toward them. The couple quickly flew out of the way in different directions. Wail landed right in the pool.

Zest ran toward the two of them, "Princess Sally. New dude. We got a problem. Mechs have been spotted in Knothole. We gotta get you out of here!" Wail climbed out of the pool, "And Wail; what have I told you about going into extremely cold water? You're cold-blooded man - You'll freeze!"

"Oh, don't you worry your little wolf-y self about that. That was a sauna I was just in. So I fell in extremely hot water, a yuk!" Zest looked at him as he folded his arms. Just as Sally and Sonic were getting back to their feet, Wail caught on fire.

"Whoa!" Sonic yelled. Zest went to a Buggy next to an ancient wall and grabbed a large canteen. Then he tripped and the canteen went flying toward the sauna. And he threw it extremely high. As Wail screamed in pain, a large light blue ray of light came over the canteen.

Everyone stared in shock as they turned to see Sally holding her hand toward the small item. She shifted her hand so that all of the water spilled onto the inflamed salamander. The fire quickly evaporated. Wail fell down in relief.

"Sal! I didn't know you had telekinesis! That's tight!" Sonic exclaimed as Zest went to help Wail off the ground.

"Actually, I can't," Sally said as she removed a vertical armband from her wrist – Was that there earlier? – And placed it inside of her jacket, "But I recently acquired a PrimeLift module that gives me the ability to manipulate objects. If you'd actually show up, you'd see all of the cool stuff the tech geeks here create."

"Alright, alright; I got it! I'm not leaving again anytime soon, dangit!"

Zest and Wail ran toward the camouflage green buggy and rolled over to where Sonic and Sally were standing, "Hop in!" Wail confirmed. As soon as they got in the vehicle, Mechs started swarming the area.

Zest got a gleam in his eyes as he pulled an AK-47 from his army jacket, "This is my favorite part of the job. He started shooting robots in his path as Wail floored the gas pedal. He went swarming and swerving through the large town. More robots were there than they had originally thought. Mechs with missiles, lasers and machine guns stormed the complex.

As they continued down a long stone path leading to the outskirts of the city, Zest hopped out of his seat and jumped to the trunk back area where a turret was mounted. Flying robots flew towards the buggy and trained their fire on the tires. But Zest didn't give up. The entire time, Sonic glared ahead, his mind made up. Only one villain had made designs for robots like this.

"Eggman."

"Huh?" Sally asked. Sonic pointed ahead at a larger Mech with long mechanical legs and arms, and dozens of rocket launchers built in.

"That's an Egg Sumo over there. And those other robots chasing us down this path were Egg Scouts. Doesn't this all add up? Egg-head's behind this!"

Sally face palmed, "Aw, man! I should've known this was Robotnik's doing! But they've got the town surrounded. What will we do? Where can we go to seek refuge while the military clears them out?"

"YOU HAVE TO HEAD OVER TO WHERE THAT GINGERED HEDGEHOG WAS GOING. THE NORTHERN CITY!" Zest had to yell over the loud explosions coming from the turret and the other robots.

"You mean Amy? But she's not a ginger! Her hair is pink!" Sonic stated.

"OH, UH RIGHT! IS THERE ANY TYPE OF NAME FOR THAT?"

"Uh, I don't think so!"

Sally screamed to the top of her lungs as they came to a large gap in the ground. Some of the Mechs knew they were coming this way. Wail looked at Zest who nodded. Wail returned the gesture in agreement.

"Uh, what are they nodding about? You don't think...?" Sonic exclaimed. In a matter of seconds, the buggy was over the gap of the trench...
