5: Confronting the Enemy

Sonic paced Tails' workshop anxiously, every now and then running his hands through his quills as he tried to calm himself and down and collect his thoughts. He knew there was something funny going on with that creep, but why would he use Amy like that? What sick game was that stupid red hedgehog playing? He needed to stop him and protect Amy.

"Will you stop pacing?" Tails sighed as he leaned against the Tornado.

Sonic stopped and glared out the window at the moonlight. "How can I sit still knowing that Luke is up to something with Amy?"

"It could be anything." Tails tried to reason.

Sonic turned around and frowned at his best friend. "Oh come on Tails! You saw it too and even you said it was suspicious."

"I'm just saying we shouldn't jump to conclusions. This could get messy." Tails insisted and Sonic groaned.

"How can it get messy, we beat the guy up and show him who's boss and everything goes back to normal." Sonic said as if it was obvious.

Tails shook his head. "It's not as simple as you think. We're not fighting Eggman this time and we might have got this all wrong. Amy's feelings are on the line here, you of all people I would've thought would care about that."

"I do care about Amy's feelings and this is why I'm doing this. Amy just can't see what he's really like or doing because he has her under some kind of spell." Sonic shrieked as he began pacing again.

"A spell. Really Sonic?" Tails said as he pushed himself off the plane. "Amy could've been tiredd or maybe just love struck, it could even be a reaction to a drug."

"Great now he's making her do drugs." Sonic growled out as he clenched his hands into tight fists.

Tails groaned. "You're not even listening to me! I don't know what's gotten into you these past few days."

"I think it's time Luke and I had a little chat." Sonic smirked.

"Oh no you don't! Sonic let's just sit and think about this – " Tails stopped as soon as Sonic dashed out of the door mid-sentence. Tails glared at the spot where Sonic had previously been standing.

"Why do I even bother trying to talk sense into him?" He sighed.

.

Sonic skidded to a halt next to the spot where Luke and Amy had their date. He jumped and hid in a nearby bush as he watched Luke who appeared to be talking on the phone to someone. He seemed to be talking seriously, so Sonic guessed he wasn't on the phone to Amy. Maybe he was working for someone. Eggman? Was this his latest scheme to bring Sonic down by messing with his friend?

Not my watch, Sonic thought as he stepped out of the shadows to face Luke head on.

Luke turned around and seemed startled to see Sonic standing there.

"I'll call you back." He said before ending the call. "Is there something I can help you with?"

"I know what you're up to Luke." Sonic announced as he glared at the red hedgehog. "So I'm warning you now to stay away from Amy."

Luke chuckled. "Or what?"

"You don't want to know." Sonic hissed sinisterly as he tensed his legs in preparation for a fight.

"Yeah, I don't think Amy would be too happy seeing me fight one of her friends, but at the same time, I can't stay away from her." Luke replied, smirking.

Sonic took a deep breath to try and calm himself as he felt his hackles rising and his quills hardening. He wanted so bad to run over there and strangle the stupid boy to death. He was going to make the creep stay away from Amy.

"I know that you've got her under some kind of spell and you're going to stop it right now!" Sonic commanded.

Luke blinked at him before he burst out laughing.

"Sonic do you even hear yourself?" He gasped out before bursting into another fit of laughter. "Perhaps the blue hero has feelings for the girl after all?"

Sonic clenched his teeth together, but didn't say anything in response.

"Well it's too bad Sonic. For once you were too slow." Luke smiled. "Amy is my girlfriend loves me and there's nothing you can do about it and I don't need any spell to do that for me."

"Who was on the phone then?" Sonic demanded. He was losing this battle, but he refused to let Luke get one over him. He knew he was up to something.

Luke sniggered. "Just a friend from work, he wanted to know how to get a stain out of his uniform."

Sonic shook his head.

"Enough lies!" He shouted. "You are going to stay the hell away from Amy!"

"I said I can't do that." Luke replied folding his arms across his chest before leaning cockily against a tree. "Amy would be most upset if I called it off."

"I think she'll get over you." Sonic said.

Luke shook his head. "This may come as a surprise to you, given your many conspiracy theories, but Amy and I are the real deal. I saved her life and we had an instant connection. I love her Sonic. Something you'd never understand."

Sonic glared at him, his green eyes shining in fury at hearing him say such a thing. "You don't love her! You're only using her for something!"

Luke snorted. "Like what? You just can't stand that Amy has finally moved on from you and found someone who could love her for who she is in return."

Sonic growled.

"She's not just some piece of meat Sonic that you can just toy with and then discard just as quickly. I'll take care of her, be there for her and love her in return." Luke snarled as he stormed towards Sonic. "You had your chance with her and you blew it. It's funny how you realise how badly you want something until you can no longer have it. Well Amy is mine now so back off!"

Sonic didn't even think as he pulled his arm back and then punched Luke in the face. The red hedgehog fell backwards and Sonic looked at his hand in shock.

Luke looked up at Sonic in anger before reaching a hand up to wipe the blood off his nose and charged after Sonic with his arm pulled back. Sonic easily dodged his attack and took advantage of Luke's sudden loss of balance and easily pushed him over.

"You think Amy likes her men weak?" Sonic chuckled and Luke screamed at him.

He leaped off the ground and came hurtling towards Sonic again who stuck his leg out and tripped him over.

"Pathetic." Sonic mumbled as he looked down at the injured red hedgehog. "Whatever you're doing to Amy, stop it. She's an amazing girl who doesn't deserved to be messed with."

"Like you've messed with her over the years?" Luke gasped out as he spat out a bit of blood. Sonic's eyes widened in shock and Luke smiled, seeing that he'd struck a nerve. "Chasing her down that night was just too easy."

Within a split second Sonic had his hand clasped around Luke's throat.

"What did you just say?" Sonic shrieked at him and Luke looked up at him in terror.

"Stop stop stop!" He heard a familiar high pitched voice cry out from a few meters away.

"What's going on here?" Knuckles demanded and Sonic turned around to see Tails, Amy and Knuckles running towards them, all of them with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Sonic, w-what are you doing?" Tails gasped out as he registered Sonic's hand gripping tightly at Luke's throat. Luke was clawing at Sonic's arm in an attempt to get Sonic to let go.

"Get off him Sonic!" Amy screamed as she summoned her hammer and smacked Sonic on the head with it. For a few seconds, Sonic could only see stars before his vision cleared again to see Amy helping Luke up.

"How could you do something like that Sonic?" Amy demanded. "I never want to talk to you again!"

"But Amy - !" Sonic yelled about to make a grab for her and run, but was interrupted as Knuckles grabbed hold of him.

"I think you need to calm down." Knuckles said as he tried to pull Sonic away from the scene.

"But you don't understand, Amy you're in trouble! He's using you!" Sonic cried out in terror as she walked off ignoring him in the arms of the red hedgehog.
