Reminder: I do NOT own SEGA's works, just the idea of this fan fiction.
Please Read, Review and Enjoy!
Author's Note: I'm very terribly sorry for leaving all you readers in a terrible cliff hanger. I, myself, fell into a deep depression which took me quite some time to recover. Now that I'm feeling well, I'll be trying to finish this Fan Fiction and hopefully get to the next project. I do hope you enjoy this chapter and I do apologize if it appears short… IF being the keyword. So… read, review and enjoy.
Chapter Seven: Second Chances
Shadow felt a weight upon his chest, figured that he'd been hit, but as he opened his eyes, he saw Amy's body laying upon his; covered in blood and a sword through her chest. His heart sunk to his stomach as tears started to form in his eyes, he was in utter shock of Amy's bravery.
'Amy… saved me? No… I can't let her die on me… No now, not ever.' He thought to himself as he quickly took her limb body into his arms, holding her close, 'Please Amy… Come back… Please.'
Sonic chuckled in a rather rude yet insane manner as he took a step closer and tempted to pull out his own sword, "Well now… it appears to be my lucky day, the day where I get to kill the both of you!"
As Sonic was about to touch his sword, a flash of light appeared, blinding him and making him step back. Shadow was shocked as he quickly looked down at Amy's face, wondering what was going on.
'Amy? Is it possible that you're still with me?' he thought to himself, hoping that it's true, 'Oh please… Amy please still be here… please…'
Deep inside the mind of Amy, only a bright light can be seen as her spirit walked around aimlessly; trying to find her way out of the forever ending loop. Eventually she heard a feminine voice starting to echo around her, trying to get her attention. She stopped in her footsteps and looked around, hoping to find some form or presence. Within every direction she looked, she found no one in sight; but as she slowly lowered her guard, she heard the feminine voice clearly.
"Amy…" spoke the feminine voice, causing to give Amy a chill down her spine, "I didn't mean to startle you in such a way… I'm Maria…. Maria Robotnik. Shadow's Guardian Angel."
Amy she blinked in a confused matter as she questioned Maria in a polite way, "If you're Shadow's Guardian Angel and first love…. Why are you here talking to me?"
Slowly, a faint image of a blonde blue-eyed female wearing a white dress and had large and yet beautiful angelic wings. Maria held out her hand as she spoke in a calm tone, "Because you're destined to be with Shadow… You hold the key to Shadow's happiness… he wishes to claim your heart just as much as you want to claim his."
A light blush appeared on her cheeks as she slowly walked towards the blonde female known as Maria, "R-Really? Are you for certain that this is true?"
"My dear…I have never seen him this happy since the day he met me…he truly does love you…and right now… there are things that need to be finished." Spoke Maria as a soft smile appeared on her face, "But promise me something, Amelia Rose…"
Amy continued to walk over to Maria, getting close to place her hand upon Maria's before looking at up directly, "Name it…"
"Make sure you continue to make Shadow happy... Make sure you eliminate Mephiles once and for all…" Maria spoke in a clear tone, grasping onto Amy's hand, "And lastly…"
Shadow continued to hold Amy's limp body close to his frame, crying into her cold shoulder mumbling into her fur; saying, 'Please… come back to me Amy… Please I beg of you…'within each few times he stated his words he moves towards her lips and kissed them lightly. Only to his surprise, when he went to kiss her lips one final time, Amy's eyes opened wide, only to see beams of bright light coming out of them. Shadow's eyes widened in shock before slowly loosening his grip around her frame. Amy's body floated upward like a feather floating in the wind while her feet managed to meet with solid ground, standing only a few feet away from Sonic, whom was rubbing his green hues due to being flashed a bright flash of light. Amy's head tilted slightly to the right as she reached in front of her and grasped onto the sword, pulling it out of her chest with ease.
"Wh-whoa man…what kind of hocus pocus sorcery is this?!" Sonic yelled out, trying to step away.
Amy took a large step forward and made a swing but it didn't make contact; just a few inches off from getting his head decapitated from his shoulders. Her eyes continued to glow bright with the light beams as she looked directly at the now shaken blue hedgehog, speaking in a strong voice as of from a higher power, "Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog, you need to stop with the threats against Amelia Rose… She knew the hint from the start that you didn't want to partake in arranged marriage. There's no reason for such actions…it can cost you from going to the heavens, regardless if you have asked the almighty to forgive your sins." She paused as she watched Sonic cowering in fear, "However… if you were to stop battling with Shadow and walk away now… your misdeeds shall vanish from your records."
Sonic slowly came out of cowering and looked over at Amy's processed body, hearing every word that came out of her mouth. He took a deep breath, regaining his bravery as he looked over at Shadow, noticing the sadness in his eyes before looking back at Amy. He cleared his throat, making sure that his voice would sound restrained as he spoke with confidence, "For Amy's and Shadow's sake… I'll gladly take that offer." He paused, waving at Shadow once and gradually turned around, unaware what was waiting for him.
The sound of blades penetrating into someone's torso can be heard; blood heavily dripping to the ground. Sonic's face became pale as his green tired eyes looked directly into the face of something pure evil; Mephiles. A dark demonic chuckle echoed throughout the battlefield as Mephiles gave Sonic his last words, "See you in hell, my minion…."
Mephiles dropped Sonic's body to the ground, hearing his body hit the ground hard before walking towards Amy chuckling at the situation. He shook his head with disgust, only to speak out in a rather blunt matter, "So you've decided to take over Amy Rose's body, Maria? What a shame…. What a shame that your body is lost at sea!"
'Maria…? Did he just say Maria?' Shadow questioned as he watched from a distance, starting to feel his anger starting to fill up his heart; creating adrenaline throughout his veins as he clenched his hands into tight fists.
"Such pity of a worthless being you are, Mephiles. You need to learn, once and for all to leave Shadow and Amelia alone with their happiness." Spoke Maria's voice which came out of Amy's mouth.
"And I suppose you wish to fight me in this vulnerable form?" he asked while laughing, finding it so humorous, "Oh I would love to see Amy's blood running down my hands as I manage to kill both you and her off."
"N-No… NO! I WON'T ALLOW THIS!" yelled out Shadow as he was firmly on his feet walking over to what appeared to be Amy and stood beside her, "Not until I get my fair share of killing your off first."
Mephiles continues to bust a gut in laughter, "Are you seriously kidding me right now? Oh this is just to easy." He paused as he pulled out multiple blades and placed them between each of his fingers, "Let's get this party started!"
PS: Another cliffhanger? That's up to you…. But one thing is certain there will NOT be a huge break on this. I'm going to do my best to finish this. I hope you love reading this chapter! Thank you if you do and still continue to support my work. 3
