No Brotherly Love

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Sonics POV:

As soon as I was fit enough to walk, that crazy fox woman grabbed me by the ear and made me sit down on a very uncomfortable stool. I was there for a good five hours, answering her questions on what I saw. At first I thought she was doing it to wind me up, but her face was serious, not angry or annoyed, just serious. So, being polite, I answered her questions. Apparently she was left with one conclusion.

"There's only one conclusion…" She trailed off. See, I told you she said that. "You've become partly, but not fully, infected with the virus."

"Virus?" I asked curiously.

"Yes. The very virus that took the form of those monstrosities you saw in the factory. We call it the DK virus." She said her right hand under her chin.

"The Donkey Kong virus? Or is it the dick virus, 'coz if you say DK together, it sounds like dick?" I asked with a cheeky smile across my face.

The fox lady slapped herself on the forehead. "Of all the heroes they could put me with, why does it have to be a cocky, arrogant imbecile?"

After all that, I went to my quarters. I got a little surprise when I got there. Amy was against the wall next to my door. She pounced on me before I knew she was there, which gave me quite a fright. We landed on the bed, her on top. When I realized who it was I actually felt relieved.

"Amy? What are you doing?"

"Well, since you're feeling better and I nursed you back to health, I was wondering if you'd repay me." She said, twirling her finger on my chest.

"Repay you? How?" I responded, getting a little worried.

"Well, we're in your bedroom, on your bed, no one's going to disturb us, so…" She answered, leaning closer to my face, with her eyes partly shut.

"A-Amy…" I said but trailed off. For some reason, this didn't feel right, well, not yet it didn't.

Just as she was about to dive her tongue into my mouth, literally, the alarms on the walls gave off an ear piercing sound. I immediately pushed Amy off of me and ran to the door. Before going, I turned to Amy, who was looking down, with one arm holding the other.

"I'm sorry Amy, but duty calls." I said in an apologetic manner. She looked up to me with glazed eyes, like she was really hurt. I couldn't see her cry, so I left and ran to the command centre.

After a few supersonic seconds, I found the command centre, the fox lady was shouting into her earpiece. I approached her when she shouted, "What the hell are you doing here? Get to the roof, he's here!" I immediately knew who she meant.

I ran to the roof as quick as my blue legs could carry me. When I got there, I could see Shadow shooting down some birdlike creatures and Knuckles shooting anything that came near him. I heard some engines behind me; I looked towards the sound and saw Metal flying just above, passing me. He was shooting at some more birdlike creatures behind him.

I then looked just in front of me and saw him, Tails. He looked to me and smirked. He charged at me, with his robotic hand glowed a green colour. He went to hit me, but I dodged, jumping backwards.

"Tails! Stop!" I shouted, standing ready for him to strike once more.

"Why? This is so much fun!" He yelled with a smirk.

"You're my brother Tails! Don't make me fight you!"

He laughed at this and shouted in such a menacing tone, "You haven't been my brother for ten years!" His tone changed to a sad one and he looked down, "I…I didn't know what to do without you. I had no one else. You were my family."

"Tails." I said, standing up straight with a comforting smile. "I still am your family; we're all your family. Stop all this and me, you and the gang can leave, forget the government. We can just leave. What do you say?"

He clenched his fist, tears streaming down his face. I took a step back in shock; my eyes grew wider because of it. He raised his robotic arm at me, there seemed to be a blue flame coming from it. "LIAR!" He shouted as he shot the flame at me. I couldn't move. 'Tails…' I thought helplessly.

"NOOOOO!" I heard someone shout, and then I heard something, something vile, like a spear piercing flesh. I looked down, and saw Amy in front of me, holding me close. She looked up at me with a weak smile; I then realized Amy was…Amy was bleeding. "I'm sorry. But like I once said, you make me do crazy things." I remembered when she said that, when we were in Chris' world on the beach, when she saved me from drowning, and then I saved her from drowning even though I couldn't swim.

"Amy…AMY!" I shouted as she collapsed to the floor. I held her in my arms. "Amy! Please Amy…don't…don't…" I wept into her chest.

"I love you Sonic T. Hedgehog." She said weakly. I looked her in the eyes.

"I love you Amy Rose." I said before giving her one last kiss. With that, Amy died in my arms, a smile across her face.

I cried a little while longer, before Tails said, "What is this, Romeo and Juliet?" He ended that sentence with a laugh. I was surprised his lungs didn't pop it was that loud.

Listen to Skillet's song Hero when reading this, it adds to the atmosphere.

"Actually…" I started, as I began to change once more. "In Romeo and Juliet, one lover dies to be with another, although it is a lie. And when one lover awakes to discover the other is dead, they can't live without them, so a dagger to the heart is the only solution."

Some of my dark aura went inside Amy's mouth and nostrils. But I was too angry to notice. Suddenly, I heard thunder. As I went to stand, it began to rain heavily. Lightning could be seen behind me, blinding Tails. When he regained his vision, he saw my dark self. The white, stone cold eyes with no pupils, the dark fur and pale skin. He took a step back in fear. I could sense everyone's eyes on me. I gave a low growl and shouted, "Miles!" I could see him quiver in fear. I started to walk slowly towards him. I then growled, "Now, now you die." After that, I used my improved speed to run at him and kick him off the ledge of the building, I dived after him. I was going down feet first, until I rolled so I was going straight at Tails head first.

When I got close enough, I punched him so hard, I heard his bones breaking. I grabbed him by the throat and was about to decapitate him with my fist. But before I could, one of our helicopters came along side is, Tails reached for the bottom and succeeded in grabbing it. I let go of him and continued falling. I looked up at him and gave off a low growl. Just before I was about to hit the ground, I pulled off a few acrobatic skills to land on my feet. When I landed, a crater and a ton of dust surrounded me. Pieces of earth could be seen flying in the air.

The rain stopped so I ran to the roof once more, but when I got there, Amy's body was nowhere to be seen. I looked to Knuckles and Shadow in a questioning way. "She was here one minute, and gone the next. It's like she just vanished." Knuckles explained. I went to where Amy was and saw something. The bracelet made of seashells was on the floor where she lay. I knelt down and picked it up, I remembered leaving it at my apartment ten years ago; maybe that's where she found it. I got up and clenched the bracelet in my hand. I then looked down with my eyes closed.

"Sonic!" I turned to the source of the noise. "It's Shadow! He's…"

I looked to Shadow, who had his hand near his face; he had a very worried expression on his face. I looked at his hand and my eyes grew wide with shock. Shadow's hand was disappearing.

"What's happening to me?" He shouted. Conveniently, Metal landed on the roof just behind me.

"Shadow, come with me, there's something I have to tell you." Metal said as he waved Shadow to come with him. Shadow agreed and went with Metal.

Knuckles and I stared at each other for a while before he said, "What's with that creepy look?" I huffed and walked away. "What?" He asked.

I turned to him and growled, "Amy's gone and all you care about is what I look like?"

"Wait a minute!" He yelled at me but I ignored him and continued to walk to the edge of the building. I sat down on the very edge when Knuckles said, "If I'm honest, how do we know she's gone? I mean, her body just happens to vanish?"

"I don't know." I said calmly as I looked to my hand. I opened my palm and saw the bracelet in the centre of my hand. I then closed it again and looked to the sunset. 'How did it go from pouring it down to such a beautiful sunset?' I asked myself. I then hung my head and whispered silently, "Amy…"
