Chapter 9
Amy!
"Gah!" I yelled trying to struggle out of these damned shackles around my writs.
"Terminate Rat" the robot buzzed.
"Are you kidding me ight now?!" I yelled at it.
"Ohohoh!" the doctor laughed. I was jerked backwards and enclosed in a glass-like tube and my cuffs were removed. The space was even smaller which meant I had no way to move around. The doctors face appeared on the screen.
"If this eroding is playing that means my plan is still working! Hello my dear, this little casing here is going to take you down memory lane, and if you don't give the robot directions, it will automatically start a countdown from 60 seconds to detonation." he said sitting back in a chair.
"You need help!" I yelled at the screen. How in the world did my dad me into so much trouble? What was so great about a small oven anyway? I know it makes something but damn! What could it possibly do to cost me my life?
"Have a safe trip my dear!" he said before disappearing. I slumped my shivering body against the cold glass of the robot and sighed. I couldn't move at all,i was tired, bleeding and there's a bullet in my shoulder. I coughed the remaining debris out of my system and waited until the clouds vanished. The moon began to shine through the dark clouds as the robot glided swiftly through the air, to a destination I knew I was going to dread seeing.
Sonic's P.O.V
I landed abruptly on the cold metallic floor and shot towards where Bunnie and Rouge were. I grabbed a hold of his collar and shook him.
"Where is that damned robot going you bastard?!" I growled.
"Now, Sonic calm yourself." he smiled nervously.
"Don't tell me to calm down!" I yelled. "where is it going?!"
"Mr. Sonic calm down" a tiny voice squeaked.
"Sonic chill, we all want to know but we wont get it out of him like this" Tails' hand rested firmly on my shoulder.
I reluctantly released the choking doctor and he landed on the floor with a thump. Tails pulled me away from him and we all crowded the mad man. Bunnie had Sally well locked up and she sat on her cage while Sally kept still since she knows she wont escape us. Cream handed me a small bundle of my clothes and I was grateful to get out of the doctors rags. I shrugged out of the rags and quickly threw on my hoodie and dark jeans in my own speed tornado in no more than 1 second. Yes I have to be precise. I folded my arsm and glared at him, and its taking every nerve in my body not to smack the sly grin off of his face.
"Alright Egg head, where the bot going?" Shadow asked firmly
"Why its just taking the child on a trip" he said shrugging his shoulders
"Where?" Rouge said warming up her large gun.
"Down memory lane" he chuckled.
The gang looked at each other, confusion was laced on everyone's face. Memory lane..?
"Fuck" I said dashing out of the room.
This guy is trying to make me beat the shit out of him, and I swear on my speed that I will. I pushed myself, speeding though town, past my house, and sped towards Tails' workshop. Before I could get inside tails had called me.
"Yeah" I answered looking through Amy's hospital room.
"Why the heck did ya speed away like that, were still lost here" Tails said in annoyance.
"Tails that thing is going to where Amy got hurt in the first place, you think shed be able to handle that kind of trauma?" I asked coldly
"Fuck...she cant take that, she's on medication and she just got back her memory, having that reminder is gonna do a serious blow to her Sonic...we might even loose her for good, in God know what way" he said panicking.
"Bud, calm down and tell me what to do" I said gathering clothes and medication and speeding out the door. Tails explained to me to keep Amy calm and that they'd be on their way. I thanked him and hung up and sped towards the Train Station.
I stole a chance on the train to New York and hopped the rails to the damaged parts of the city. I finally came to a halt and my stomach tied itself in a knot at my surroundings. The town was still in horrible ruin, though you can see little parts of the area being restored. I picked up a crumpled paper and it read.
Construction In Progress
Citizens are NOT allowed beyond this point
Restoration of Magnolia will continue during the year.
Hm.
I threw the paper back to theground and shrugged out of the backpack I was carrying with Amy's Medication. I hid it behind some rubble and marked it with another that seemed to be chalk-like with an X. I stuffed a cloth bandage wrap as well as a few Band-Aids in my pocket in case I need them. I made my way cautiously though the city, turning my locater on , shoving it in the ground so that the gang know where I started from.
"Amy!" I called out
No reply.
"Great, when I find you Ames im definitely not letting you go again" I growled to myself.
I took off in the large town in search of my pink blur.
X
"Destination Reached" the bot buzzed.
"What?" I said groggily. I opened my eyes, linking to adjust to the gloom we were currently in. My heart plummeted. No, this cant be. Not here.
The bot landed roughly causing us to bump and roll all over the hard rubble. I constantly got hit in the head from the stupid glass since I had no room in the stupid thing until it finally broke from the impact. I rolled out almost lifelessly scratching and brusing my skin. I skidded to a stop just a few inches away from the robot when I staggered to my shaky feet.
I coughed and collapsed once again on the rubble and looked around. I need to get out of here.
"Target Locked"
I whipped my head around in time to catch the bt aiming at me. I threw myself out the way, in time to doge the net. I shot up to my wobbly feet and ran as fast as my limp legs could carry me, I didn't have any shoes on, which is just perfect -.- .
I ran frantically through the rubble tripping all the time but refusing to stop. Until I saw a tattered shop sign.
Missy's Shoppe
"Missy's" I said hoarsely. I could faintly picture the gang and I in the tattered window, that was once always clean, laughing and eating burgurs and smoothies. Laughing at the mobians all around the once busy streets. I stepped through the burnt doorway and hit into the little bell that once was on the door to wars Missy that someone was coming in or out of he store. The Grey Mouse would welcome you with a big toothy smile and ask you how your day was. I sat in the half-melted seats and ran my hand through my quills, I glanced out the no longer there window and my eyes began to water.
Nothing. Everything is just...gone.
I wiped my eyes and exited the once happy shop. Walking now through the rubble I spotted the park. I saw Tails playing in the grass and Cream in the flower patch making me a bracelet or a crown. I smiled fondly at it. My eyes wandered the park and settled on a stump. I held my chest and stared at it. I could see the large shady tree with Sonic nestled in the branches sleeping away, I saw myself sitting under the tree, reading a book and getting up to hug Cream and thank her for the bracelet she would always make me.
My heart grew heavier and heavier as I wandered throughout the once lively city. In my daze I found myself at my home.
"Daddy?" I asked.
I rushed inside the burnt home, running through the memories and laughter.
"Daddy!" I screamed in the house.
I ran up to my old bedroom and found my rag doll, I smiled and held on to it. I ran to his room, the kitchen, the backyard. I stopped in front of the door to his study and took a much needed breath and held Molly close. I opened the door and it fell from its hinges, creating a loud bang and lots of dust to cloud in my face. I coughed and sputtered, fanning my way through the massive cloud of dust. His old desk sat there, filled with scattered files and other things, behind his desk was a bookshelf with all his research books, Journals and such. I sat in the old rolling chair and placed Molly on the desk carefully. I sifted through the dirt layered files and read various titles on them.
Young Scientist Rose Blooms: Knowladge Uncovered
Robotnick Defeated Once Again by Sonic Team!
Daughter of a Scientist Joins Sonic Team: Two Roses in Our Garden
Young Hedgehog Mother and Wife DEAD by the hands of Eggman
Where is Rose?: Young Scientist Devastated
CHAOS IN THE STREETS!
"This as when all this started" I mumbled to myself. I read the article further on.
Scientist Rose creates new device t CREATE Chaos Emeralds! Magnificent minds tend to grow in our loving community, Rose was asked, what was his inspiration, he told our reporters; "My little flower Amy, she's so passionate about her team, it made my mnd tick, and I was itching to help my baby girl as much as I could so she and her friends could defeat Eggman once and for all"
Tears stung my eyes. That's why he gave it to me. Those plans. So it was a Emerald cooker..? Dad… you're a genius.
I grabbed Molly from the desk and took the news article with me. I searched under the desk for the button he had somewhere here.
"Gotcha!" I said pressing it firmly. The bookcase began to move and I wasted no time in ducking into his laboratory. I flicked the lights, and of course they didn't work.
"Duh Amy" I said scolding myself. I blindly searched the floor on my hands and knees and found what I was looking for. I opened the little trap door and took out a plastic stick. I cracked it ad shook it frantically, a neon-like liquid filled the plastic tube and I grabbed Molly again looking through the clean Lab.
"I guess Eggman didn't find this dad" I said to the empty room. I touched the little rolling chair he got for me and smiled. I know what Eggman wanted and he didn't find this so he couldn't find the blue prints. I hid the copy in the rubble, and those I have to dig up later. I need to burn these prints or give them to Tails. I reached a keypad on the wall, it was hiddedn of course, it was disgused as a First-Aid box. I opened the box and lifted the carboard 3D picture of bandages and such and found the key-pad. I typed in the code and the small wall buzzed open. I stepped into the closet, closing the door behind me. I used my glowstick to find the file with my name on it. I took out my birth certificate and passport information and pulled out an old backpack. It had a bule Chao on it and it was a vibrant pink. I opened it and found little toys and colouring pages inside. I smiled and stuffed my papers inside along with Molly. I dug through th file cabinet and pulled out a photo album as well as the blue prints my dad gave me.
After locking my cabinet again I went deeper in the tiny closet and opened the unlabeled cabinet. I took my parents wedding rings and their Marriage Certificate. I found the original copies of the blue prints he had and stuffed them in my bag. I locked the cabinet again and dashed out the closet locking it behind me. I quickly went out the lab and shut the bookcase. I sifted through th house and heard light footsteps.
"Crap" I hissed. Its probably the robot or something. I hid in the crook of the stairs and held my knees to my chest.
"Ames? There you are" Sonic said stooping down
"Leave me alone Sonic" I sniffed
"What's wrong?"
"Sally made me feel bad" I pouted.
"C'mon Ames don't be like that, im sure she didn't mean to call you a rat"
"That's what you think"
"C'mon Ames, come back to the park with me" he said stretching his arm out to me.
I looked at it and took it , he held my hand and pulled me out of the stairs. He held my hand the entire way.
"Sonic we''re still holding hands" I blushed
"Well yeah, I gotta make sure ya don't run away, and hey"
"yeah?"
"You stopped calling me Sonikku"
"Ames?!"
My eyes shot open and I face beautiful, concerned emerald orbs
"Sonikku…." I said softly
A warm blush creeped up on his face at his pet name and he offered a relaxed smile. I lurched for him, thanking God this wasn't a dream. His strong arms wrapped around me holding me as I sobbed like a 3 year old. "It's alright Ames" he said soothingly into my hair.
"How did you find me" I sobbed
"I figured to look here for you first, after I fell back to the ship, I confronted Egg man and he told me the robot was taking you down memory lane, I didn't wait for the gang, I just came looking for you he said in a broken tone.
"Sonic…are you crying?" I asked
"Yeah Ames…you scared me to death." He sobbed.
We both ended up holding each other, comforting and crying together. He pulled away first and we laughed at our tear-stained faces. I wiped his eyes as he did mine and we stood up.
"Here" he said shrugging out of his hoodie. "Your shirt is torn up pretty badly, but we need to clean those up." He said pointing to tha scars on my stomach.
I nodded and laded him to the kitchen. I tore the rest of my shirt off and blushed when Sonic just stared at me. Im pretty sure I had a tank top under this, yeap I do.
"Oh this need to come off too?" I asked
"uh…no no" he said lifting the bottom of it, folding it right at th bottom of my breasts. He took out a rag from his pocket and looked in the cabinets and found some old bottle of water. He dabbed my wounds and dried the spots. I wa a good girl and didn't complain at all. He gave me the hoodie, he left towards my room and came back with some of my dad's old boots. I smiled and slipped into them. I giggled
"What?"
"they're still a little big on me" I smiled.
He chuckled. "That's okay, and you look cool in that hood" he grinned
"Oh whatever" I smiled. My smile morphed into a serious frown. "I found what Eggman is looking for, I just need to find the Hardware store to get the last copies of the blue prints my dad gave me before he died."
"Gotcha, wait blue prints? Like for a machine?" he asked aas I slung my bag over my shoulder
"Yeah, I'l tell you about it later." I said wincing. "Wrong shoulder" I said biting my lip.
"What's wrong with your shoulder?"
"Remember Sally shot me.." I said trailing off
"Fuck it" he growled. "C'mon lets get out of here, get those prints and take u to the hospital"
"Sigh, looks like I spend a lot of time in a hospital bed" I said leading the way out my former home.
I glanced back at the two-story house and blew it a kiss good-bye. "Bye Daddy.." I said chocking up.
Sonic wrapped his arm around my shoulder after taking tha=e bag himself and sheltered my face in his chest.
"Your gonna be okay Ames" he said soothingly. I nodded and he took my hand, leading me down the street.
"Sonic?"
"Yeah?"
"Your still holding my hand…"
"Yeah, I don't want to lose you.."
A familiar blush creeped up on my face and I squeezed his fairly large hand once. "Okay"
We hurried thugh the familiar streets and found the crumbled remains of Porky's Hardware and Things. I reluctantly released Sonic's hand and summoned my hammer.
"You might want to step back" I said arching it behind me.
Sonic's P.O.V
She slammed her hammer almost inhumanly into the rubble. My guess this was her way of relieving stress, its kind of exciting to see her hit something…that wasn't you that is.
"Ames!" I called over the clatter.
She stooped and stood straight she looked behind her and ran a hand through her messy quilss and her dirt-stained face came into view. She smiled sweetly. "Yeah?"
Why did this make my heart stop…?
"Uh, l-let me help" I said clearing my throat.
"Sure thing, see if you can drill into this" she said pointing to the softened rubble.
I cracked my neck and hands. "Sure thing" I said revving up. I drilled as fast and as hard as I could, punching the ground maybe a thousand times per second, I felt my body going under until I hit a pocket and fell through and landed on the concrete floor. I coughed and dusted my dirty gloves.
"Well these are trash" I said to myself
I glanced up and cupped my hands over my mouth. "Hey Ames!"
Before I could put my hands down a pink blur came in to view, pushing me flat on my back. She came up and her jade orbs locked with mine. She blushed and smiled like she had a joke.
"What?" I chuckled.
"Thanks for the catch?" she laughed.
"What are hero's for?" I smiled.
"You are such a flirt Sonic" she said rolling her eyes. She pushed my face playfully and stood up. She put her hand out and I took her outstretchd hand as she pulled me up to my feet.
"Lets get searching then" she smiled.
