Hi rezfrosting here! ; 3 May I please request some metal sonic x modern Amy?
cutegirlmayra answered:
You may.
(Did I mention my guilty pleasure is evil and villainous Metal Sonic with feelings of twisted affection? Did I? DID I?!)
Prompt:
Neo Metal Sonic spun on his way to the ground, flopping with metallic clanks against the mud as the wet dirt clogged his engine.
He leaned up, scraping the ground as he revved his center turbine to splash the mud out.
"You try my patience… Amy."
Amy Rose: Female Hedgehog. Power: Strong Hammer throws. Affinity to Sonic The Hedgehog. Weakness:….Everything.
Amy held her ground, "Where's Big and Cream!?" she demanded, holding her hammer firmly in her grasp.
He scooped up some mud and swiped it at her.
"Ah!" she swat at the air, wiping her eyes and spitting out the mud before he charged her, hitting her down and causing her to fall to the mud.
"Offph! Grr… You'll pay for that!" Amy tried to swing her hammer up, but he caught it. His grip was like trying to shake off a titanium beam, there was no way she was getting out of his hold… "Grr.. Rah…" she struggled, only making his eyes flare to a brighter red as he leaned his head up in pride.
"Resistance is futile. You will fall. As will the rest of Sonic's friends."
"No!" Amy kicked and squirmed, but nothing she did made any difference.
"… You're still fighting… a foolish use of wasted energy." He pulled her up, causing her to slip on the mud and be dragged up with now two hands on her hammer.
"Ack!" her muddy hands left no grip to be able to hold onto the hammer's hilt.
As she slid back down, her body slipped under his spread and sturdy stance, as he looked to the hammer and then down to her, realizing how pathetic this duel really was.
Amy's eyes started to water, "Where… where is Sonic?"
"You seem to like asking questions…" he flipped the hammer around, hoisting it back. "But I think it's time your new master started making inquiries…" he gripped the scruff of her white collar, and pulled her up to him, still threatening the hammer hit if she resisted.
But it didn't stop Amy from struggling, gripping his clawed hand and pushing the steel fingers away from her throat. "Let… me go!"
"Enough talk." His eyes narrowed.
"Gruff! Ah! Hek! Ohhh! This isn't fair! You're not a master of anything! Especially me!" she continued to struggle. Ever since their failure to stop his Metal Overlord, Sonic was forced with Tails and Knuckles into a pocket-dimension. There, they could escape certain doom, and they had the Chaos Emeralds to come back to save this universe when they had gathered their strength back.
But with Sonic gone… Neo Metal Sonic's rage intensified. Not only was nature out of control, but Metal Sonic was cruelly enslaving all living organisms. Amy wouldn't allow her friends to be put in harm's way and instructed them to fall back and seek the other teams.
But Blaze and Cream never came back…
And Amy's eternal struggle to hold Neo Metal Sonic's rage back only seemed to really last a few minutes…
He had given up his ultimate form for a later day, waiting upon Sonic's return to fully finish him… but until then.
"Your attempt to save your friends is futile. You will all submit to me or perish. I care not which. So for my last warning, tell me where Sonic has hidden his weak and unworthy self away… and I may let you live…"
"Being enslaved is no way to live! Either way, we're all suffering!" Amy kicked, but with one fatal whiplash of swinging her around, she was unable to keep up her fighting spirit…
"Tell me…" His eyes shone even brighter…
"…He's… far out of your reach… you'll never defeat Sonic… not permeant, anyway…" she was slipping… her hands falling to her sides and her head moving back.
He didn't move… expressionless, his eyes suddenly flashed and started to make calculations.
He read that her breathing was fainter than normal and her body was giving way to exhaustion.
He laughed, dropping her and watching fall without a noise.
"Pathetic… I suppose I shall use you as leverage to lure Sonic back to me… Your insolent existence will have purpose after all…" he watched her a moment, still scanning her vital signs before he noticed her twitch and start getting up.
"…What?" he seemed genuinely perplexed.
She started to lift one arm under herself, then the other. Soft grunts showed her effort as she hoisted her torso up and looked back at him with a muddied face.
"…This isn't possible." He squinted his eyes, his red growing dim. "Your body is at its utter limits. Your oxygen intake halved from the smog and your exhaustion at its peak!" he formed a fist, showing the hopeless situation. "You should be begging at my feet for life! Why do you still insist on prolonging your demise?"
"B-because… I love him…" Amy closed one eye and opened the other. She panted a moment before straining herself up again, trying to get on her knees.
Neo Metal Sonic just stared at her, emotionless.
He kicked her and whammed her hammer into her side, causing her to spit out a groan of pain and clutch her stomach, turning around.
"…Ack!… ugh… ha…hah…hahah…"
"What are you laughing about?!"
"The fact… that you can't… you can't stand… to see me unable to quit." She laughed with limited breath.
His head twitched in rage. "What angers me is your likeness to that blue hedgehog." He twisted her hammer in his grasp, readying to pummel her again with new hits.
He walked towards her, gripping her head and forcing it up, holding it directly beside his own. "Tell me where he is…"
"O-or what? You've already…" she coughed, "Threatened me with death!"
"…If death does not sway you…" he placed her hammer under her chin, pushing up to limit her air supply once again as she choked to regain some air.
Her hands weakly clawed and gripped at his arm… as he started to push up from his knees… forcing the hammer up even more and making her stand.
He couldn't understand her response from the faint squeaks of noise she made to try and speak with little air… but it satisfied him enough to see there was no way for her to survive other than surrender.
"Would Sonic want you to die?" he switched tactics. "Become my slave and I'll show little mercy…" He slowly removed the hammer from her throat…
She coughed and gripped her throat, his other hand let go as she stumbled to remain upright.
To keep her up, he gripped her white collar from the back and kept it still slightly choking her, but not nearly enough to keep her from speaking again.
"Choose your words wisely… Amy Rose."
She peeked through the slits of her eyes at him… her glare like daggers before closing them again and concentrating on breathing.
Her voice was harsher now, the effects of the choking showing through…
"Why would I… take little mercy..?"
"Because that's more than any other creature has been offered." He glared right back, pushing on her back to have her bend down. "Beg…" he rose his head up. "Tempt me to spare your insufferable existence… Make me want to keep you alive…" his voice grew darker, even with the robotic manifestation in it, it still sounded like he was toying with her…
She fell to her knees, unable to do anything more to stall for her friends… and wondering if Neo Metal Sonic had already taken care of them…
She squinted her eyes shut even more, shaking her head. "I won't…" she began to cry. "But Sonic would want me to survive… until he returned…"
Neo Metal Sonic looked down, his glare intensifying.
"…Do your worst… but I will never give up!" she reached for his hand to her back as he pulled up and hoisted her over his shoulder.
"…You will suffer yourself to me." He stated, still carrying the hammer in one hand and keeping her steady upon his metallic shoulder on the other.
She cried and kicked, trying to fight him but it was all pointless.
He had created for himself a castle, where Eggman was also enslaved to do his bidding, carrying metallic trays of electrical cords and providing tomfoolery entertainment for him… getting zapped for his pleasure…
Neo Metal Sonic laughed, patting Amy's head as she sat below one of the armrests, chained up with a bowl of water next to her.
It wasn't just humiliating, it was inhuman.
She shook her head and dipped herself below the throne, trying to hide from his touch.
When his hand couldn't feel her head he stopped laughing and reared downwards, gripping her head and shoving it back up to look at his face…
The red of his eye reflected back in her own glossy eyes… as she tried to turn her head away from him.
"And what… do you think you're doing?"
"…Grr… erk…"
He laughed again after a moment of staring at her, and pushed her away, causing her to topple down to the ground and spill the bowl of water over.
She glared at him, only making him look as though fondly to her and lean upon his elbow. "You know… I could be zapping you instead of him." His eyes narrowed, another threat that seemed to humor him as he thought about it. "Would that please Sonic? Seeing you burnt to a crisp when he comes back for you and this world?"
Amy bit her tongue and didn't say anything, looking away.
"…That'll be all, Eggman." Without shifting his position, or moving a muscle really, Neo Metal Sonic dismissed Eggman as he rubbed his butt from the electrocution and bolted away speedily.
"…Eggman surrendered to my whims… why not you?" He slowly fiddled and twisted her chains that were upon his throne around his finger… then around his arms… "…You're like a fish. Not knowing when you've been caught!" he pulled, forcing her to slam into the throne and be dragged to his legs.
"Hahaha!"
"Grr… You'll regret this… all of it." She flinched through the pain, shaking from the weakness in her body from lack of food…
"You're still sure he wants you back? A girl with no sense, poor and malnourished, unable to accept defeat?!" he tugged again, forcing her body and shoving it towards him.
She was now laying across him, his arms back from having taken the chains as far back as they could go… her eyes never wavering to show her conviction…
"…What keeps those eyes…" he tilted his head, releasing some of the chains to touch her face as she tried to lean back, away from them… being cautious… "So purely faithful to him..?"
"…He's never not come for me…"
"…Yes. I remember." Neo Metal Sonic looked annoyed, his eyelids sinking a bit. "He's too 'good' to let an organism go unsaved."
"It's more than that Metal…" she suddenly moved closer, her body sliding over his own metal hide as she moved the chains from his arms.
He was suddenly paused in processing… not sure if this was her surrendering… or something else.
"Sonic is a symbol of hope… without Sonic, we're all nothing." She slipped her arms around him, her voice almost like a coo that confused him…
Her change of voice caused his systems to start scanning her, finding details within her eyes and the shape of her figure… pressing over and against him.
"…Sonic is gone." Her distraction led to him not hearing the sliding of metal against metal… the chains wrapping around his neck…
"…You're right. But he's-"
"No more." His eyes burned red again, as he shifted from under her. "Your female charms don't tempt me. I'm a robot… your attempt at saving yourself is useless and irrational." He moved up a bit, but his eyes stayed fixated on her own, turning from confidence to slight fear.
"However, …" he tapped his claws to her back, causing her to flinch. "I've always been curious… what he sees in you…" his frame moved to skim against her muzzle when she suddenly pulled on the chains, and his head went flinging back.
"WHAT?!" he struggled, realizing she had looped her chains around his neck, and started walking off of him, tugging and straining to pop his head off.
She shook the chains and slipped once or twice on the ground from the spilled water, but kept trying to put enough force into the chains to rip his head off its metal pieces…
"You… you think this will save your friends?!" Neo Metal Sonic struggled, gripping the chains.
Electricity sparked everywhere around his metallic neck as Amy remained steadfast, giving as much force to the chains as she could muster.
"You'll be their end for this!" he cried out, before feeling a dent upon his metallic screw that held his head in place.
His eyes wobbled, realizing the threat level just skyrocketed, and began to fight back more forcibly, tugging on the chain to pull her back.
"Ah!" she fell and started to be dragged back to him, the chain loosening. "Yes… fight, Amy Rose… Show me that you'll die in vain… I'll kill each and every one of your precious companions in front of your eyes! Then we'll see who's able to fight the inevitable now!"
Amy's foot slammed against the throne, as she looked up with absolute power in her eyes to him, making him stop his rambling and look for a moment in terror to her.
"…I…" she took in a deep breath. "Have no fear." She ripped the chain from his grasp, and with it, severed his head from his body.
The explosion pushed her back, knocking her out.
When she came too, she noticed fire and began to panic. Eggman, in his brown slave attire, was hacking away at the melting chain with a rock.
"E..Egg…man…" she panted out.
"No time, you brilliant girl!" he kept banging the chain before finally it released her and he helped her up, cupping her head between his two hands, and smiling gleefully to her.
"You did it! You beat him!" he kissed the top of her head like a doting father, before slinging her under his armpit and rising up, making a poise with his hand in a fist.
"See that, Metal Sonic!? Even without Sonic! His friends are even good enough to take you down, until me! Whohohoho!" he laughed and gloated, even though it was Amy's triumphant, not his.
He raced out of the burning fortress… as Neo Metal Sonic's head blipped back to life for only a static moment…
Amy Rose: Female Hedgehog. Power: Strong Hammer throws. Affinity to Sonic The Hedgehog. Weakness:…
Nothing.

Oh, you mean this DARK, HORRIFIC version of Metal Sonic vs. the ever unstoppable force that is known as Amy Rose? …I'd love too :3b
REMEMBER: PROMPTS ARE ON SHUTDOWN! Please, pretty please, don't send me more prompts until I've reopened them again! :Db okay?
I have a countdown now so you will known when they come back ;)b
Now, on with the show!
Prompt:
It wasn't long before Sonic and the team returned to the stricken planet, barely surviving from the pollution and decimation of Metal Sonic's reign…
But as they returned, the severed head of Metal Sonic reconnected itself with Metal Overlord's form, slightly zombied by the sparking of electrical wires all out of place, the metal torn, and the battle-damage fierce.
"What's going on?" Tails asked, stepping out of the X-Tornado which had sent them through the pocket dimension.
"Looks like they haven't stopped fighting, but look at this place!" Knuckles also flipped the protective, clear shielding of the plane off to get out and jumped off to step into the sewage mud. "It's like he's been trashing the entire planet!"
Sonic homing attacked quickly out of the plane before the shielding could even properly flip off, landing and looking up into the sky at the battle before him. There was a sense of urgency in his eyes, but then a confident smile.
"I'll flank him from the rear… he would see us coming. Tails?" He turned to look over his shoulder, Tails also smiling with determination and leaning over the cockpit to hear every word. "You check on the teams."
"Got it!" Tails pulled the shielding down, revving up the engine.
"Knuckles," Sonic fully turned around to face him, seeing him bent down on knee, sampling the sludge in his hand and looking heartbroken at the state his planet was in. He crushed the mud in his hands and let it squirt out either side, shaking his fist as he turned his head away. "…You take back the Master Emerald."
"I'm gonna clobber him." he rose up, a true guardian as he briskly walked to take his place beside Sonic, eyes fixated on Metal Overlord. "No one messes with my friends, my planet, and my emerald!" he smacked his fists together and nodded indirectly for Sonic to see his convictions.
"Right." Sonic nodded in agreement and turned to Metal Overlord. "Guess this is round 2." he smirked, charging off as Knuckles followed in pursuit.
"I'll distract him." Knuckles stated before both of them heard Metal Overlord ring out a cry.
"AMMMMYYYY!" The dragon-like metal creation reared his head back, as suddenly Eggman's forces pelted it with drones and missiles from the sky.
Cream, Big, and–There she was. In their usual heroes' formations, they were fighting with everything they had.
"How many times do I gotta take you down, Metal, before you realize you're never gonna win!?" Amy cried out, getting swung from the formation and spinning her hammer out to jab another piece of his metallic hide off. "Now, Big!"
"Ooookay!" Big slowly responded as he swung his fishing pole back and hooked the inside matrix of Metal Overlord, tugging on the line to leave it straight.
"Cream!" Amy called, as Cream tight-roped the line and ran towards the inside, dodging some claw strikes as Metal Overlord tried to identify the tiny fishing line.
"YOU WILL ALL FALL!" he roared, "TO ME!"
"Heard that spiel before," Amy mused, rolling her eyes, "Doesn't scare me! All bark and no-!"
That's when Cream threw Amy back inside the robot, as she hooked the steel beam that connected Metal Sonic's old severed head to Metal Overlord and let herself slide down all the way till his face bent with the action.
Now, they were staring at one another again, "Bite." she chomped down on her teeth, before grinning at seeing Big being hoisted by Cream's flying bunny ears and his fishing line slinging around his head.
"No…" Metal's eyes dimmed, "Not again…"
"You really should think about wearing a neck brace." she saluted, and then let go. "Cause you choke on your own words all the time, buddy!"
"NOOO!" he reached a clawed hand to her, and for a moment, he finally saw her confident wane.
"Miss Amy!" Cream called out, but she had already let Big go as the fishing line was as strong as anything, and severed through the steel beam with Big's falling, massive weight like a wrecking ball.
When the head was detached, the rest of the body froze… but Metal Overlord's misshapen claw still dug a talon into her falling form, as she fell into it, then rolled off…
"I've… got'cha… Amy…" Big spoke slowly, but as he fell, he hooked a line around Froggy and tied it like a fishing lure, throwing him to Amy.
"Ribbit!" Froggy jumped to Amy's back, then bit down on her white collar.
"Amy!" Sonic cried out, skidding to a halt as they got there… too late?
Metal Overlord was falling apart now, with nothing holding it together, it began to tumble and collapse in pieces.
As its frame came down, Froggy croaked and let go of her, as another large metal plate slammed into her body, making her fall even faster.
Cream grabbed Big, who reeled in Froggy and was careful not to hurt him in the process. "Is that..?" Cream began, seeing something blue below. "It's Mr. Sonic!" she cheered, "Quick! Save Miss Amy!" she dived down, hoping to help too.
Cheese finally revealed himself, having wires in his hands, it appears he was doing an 'inside job' while the others fought on the outside.
"It can't be…" Tails saw the flying mass with Amy's unconscious body underneath it and knew Sonic couldn't reach her if he, himself, was crushed as well. "Don't worry, Cream! I'm on it!" Tails dived passed her, shocking her.
"Oh, Mr. Tails is back too!"
"Isn't that nice?" Big closed his eyes, relieved with a happy, relaxed smile on his face. "I'm sure they'll save Amy…" he stated with a lull.
Tails fired at different sections of the falling metal, burning it as it highlighted the beams of heated energy with yellow and red, before breaking off and leaving Amy's body twirling out through the wind pressure. The other pieces were smaller now and began to twirl as well.
"I've got it!" Knuckles jumped up, throwing his arm back to smash and punch the metal into each other, leaving Amy wide open as the metal crashed down, spiking the soft, muddy earth and sinking slightly into it. Other pieces slammed down and left a splash, causing Sonic to not only dodge the falling debris but also avoid slipping or being blinded by the whiplashing splashes.
He raced through with a wake of water and wind at his heels, before looking up and jumped to break Amy's fall.
"Got'cha." he lightly stated but the intensity of his eyes said everything else.
"Did she die?" Eggman's voice boomed from his large ship, barely holding itself in the air from previous damages.
Cream placed Big down, then embraced Cheese nodded, "No, Mr. Eggman!"
"Hmph, didn't think so. After defeating Metal Sonic the first time, I wouldn't put it passed her to survive certain calamity again!"
"Beat him the first time?" Sonic looked up at the sky, towards Eggman, before back at Amy.
His eyes shook.
"Tails! She's down!" He cried out, as everyone's attention turned from celebrating to worry once again.
"Down?" Knuckles came over, bending to examine her himself. "Let me see…"
He saw the hole in her stomach… and turned away, getting up and moving to cover his mouth with the backend of his glove.
"No…" He stifled himself, before double-taking as Cream and Big tried to come over. He shook his head, forcing himself to grab Cream and duck her head into his chest. "No, Cream. You stay here. With me." he felt her struggle, and once again, he couldn't manage to look back…
"But Mr. Knuckles! I saw Miss Amy get hurt. I have to check on her, please! Why are you keeping me back..?" As Cream pleaded, Big was free to wander over…
He took a few steps, before gasping lightly and lowering his stealthy arms and gloomily… his ears bent back. "Oh, dear…"
Froggy also lowered himself on Big's head… sorrowful.
Tails threw down the Emeralds, "Sonic… it's up to you!"
The Metal Overlord began to reform, this time, an even greater fusion of the fallen Eggman robots and a Frankenstein'd abomination.
"I can never fall… You will all suffer… The last of your cries… will be her own!" With that stated, Metal Overlord Reborn began to fire beams out of his body, crashing into Eggman's already exhausted fleets.
"I-EEE! Retreat!" he cried out, "It's up to you now, Sonic!"
Sonic's hands were shaking… Amy's body didn't appear to move, did the spike truly take her out?
Was he really too late?
All within that pocket dimension, something inside him–a gut feeling, if you will–convinced him that Amy was holding her own, that everyone was.
Holding her now… hearing that she had not only defeated Metal Sonic once but twice? Him not being there to aid and defend the planet with her?
It was more than he could bear.
The Chaos Emeralds floated and glowed around him, feeling the intensity of his emotion as his head sank down and his body trembled.
"No… no, no… How long..?" his voice also broke, his arms losing their grip on her body, lowering her into the mud. "How long… did you make her suffer?!"
Cream peeked out over Knuckles's shoulder, as he too squinted back in his own emotion.
"How long did you leave her in pain!?" Sonic flung up, shining a brilliant yellow gold as Metal Overlord stared him down.
"What did you do to them!? To my friends!?"
Metal Overlord Reborn's one eye began to scan the details of Sonic… his power level… his heart rate… and then…
His tears.
He gave off a low, rumbling chuckle from his now, thicker throat. "I've always wondered…" he began, "What you see in her…" he opened his enormous mouth, shredders circling it as fire fumed from different sections of his throat.
He swallowed Sonic whole, as Sonic remained floating in place, his eyes remaining steadfast, though his breathing rapidly becoming more and more intense.
When Sonic's light dipped into the mouth, everyone grew silent.
"Soooonniiicc!" Tails cried out.
Then there was a burst of light.
From within Metal's now imploding throat, a voice ripped through the eerie silence while the recoiling throat seemed ripe to explode.
"I see hope in her eyes, love in her heart, and goodwill for all mankind… I see-
–no fear!"Then the explosion ricochetted through the space of air like a comet crashing to earth. Fire spewed out from the mechanical nightmare as Sonic speedily, with rage in every blast of Chaos Energy, laid waste and melted the magnetic power that kept Metal Sonic resurrecting time and time again.
He darted here and there– 'Amy…'
There and back again, melting with his powerful swings of his arms and letting the immense heat melt the tyrannical, metal counterpart to himself– 'Amy..!'
He flew up from the husk and put every amount of his power into a ball of light, "AMMMMYYYY!" he dunked the ball right through the still standing contraption of Metal Sonic's Overlord Reborn hide and in flakes of grey the entirety of the reign of Metal Sonic disintegrated into nothing more than burnt ashes…
Not a thing remained… even the mud had dried from the hot air spraying back from its epicenter.
Sonic lay at the center, his hands and legs on the ground, his mouth dry and panting, his tears dried by the magnitude of his power.
He just kept staring at the ground… the red from his eyes still apparent as he hit the earth again, his super form fading. "Amy… You held on… Just a bit more… I'm here now… I'm…" he let himself fall to the dry ground, indented in from his blast.
Eggman slowly turned his fleet around, he even had his lasers pointed at Sonic…
They honed in and targeted, ready to fire…
His glasses shone with their targeting systems green light flashing as a stylized icon showed Sonic's limp body in range.
But…
He saw Tails and Knuckles, retrieving Sonic.
He saw them huddle around Amy's form and try and summon the power of the Chaos Emeralds.
He hovered his hand over the button, but sighed and flipped the switches down to deactivate the gunfire.
He then picked up a phone, "Shadow? Rouge? Yes, even that useless Omega… Forget your scheming. Sonic's done it, but not without some sacrifices… they need you. Stat."
With the combined efforts, the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds revived Amy.
She awoke, a little dizzy, but gasped and grabbed her stomach… intact?
"What… happened?" she pulled the covers off her bed. …Her bed?
She hadn't stepped foot in her home in a long time, just what had happened?
She pushed the door open, hearing laughter and drinks clinging together.
"Another! Keep it coming!" Knuckles's booming voice caught her attention, as she slowly made her way down the stairs and into the living room.
"So, you're saying Amy not only fought Metal twice but thrice?" Sonic leaned over the table, showing the number with his hands.
Eggman chuckled, slapping his stomach a moment as he rocked back in his chair and let Tails fill his glass up with more juice. "I was there! I nursed her back to health, he came back, she thumped him. He magnetized back into Overlord and what does she do? Thump him!" he lifted the filled glass up but made Tails spill the container in his hand as he wasn't done filling it yet.
"Hey!"
"Amazing!" Sonic cheered.
"She really is quite a girl, you know." Eggman chugged the drink down, as Big wiggled his ears.
"I've always found Amy… to be a girl." He smiled wholesomely.
"What Big means is-" Cream paused a moment as Cheese, now with Chocola, tugged on her clothes and pointed to Amy's presence. "Ah! Miss Amy's awake!" she jumped off her little chair and raced to Amy, arms out wide. "Oh, Amy! My hero!" she gripped her around the legs and wouldn't let go. "You're awake again, Miss Amy! The boys told me you would be, but I'm so glad to see you again!" there were small tears forming in her eyes, but she was too happy to let them drop. "Are you feeling well, Miss Amy? You're not in any pain, are you?"
The boys all turned, smiling.
"Um…" Amy was just too overwhelmed to comprehend it all. "Was I asleep?" she smiled down to Cream, before looking back up at everyone.
"Knuckles…" she breathed out, as he raised his glass to her. "Tails…" she stepped forward, as Tails beamed a little with his shoulders coming up, his eyes twinkling with glee. "….Sonic."
The two just stared at one another a moment. An immortalizing feeling gripped them into the other's eyes…
He finally moved and sped over to her, but for Amy, the brief second didn't cut off the connection and feeling that was still relevant… it was like he hadn't moved his eyes from her, and she barely noticed the distance breached.
"Thanks for not waiting around for me… Amy." he smiled, "Without you, it sounds like Metal Sonic would have just taken over the whole planet by now."
Amy felt her breath grow weak.
"I… I did wait." she barely had the strength anymore to speak, but she did.
Cream saw the two's stances and body-language, smiling giddily, she removed herself from Amy's legs.
"…Heh." he let some of his emotion out, but quickly tried to recover his previous look. "What I meant was… you acted. You didn't just sit around and let everything go to ruin." he spoke with his arm flinging out to the side fo him, a typical thing for Sonic to do while he spoke.
"Pretty impressive,… Amy."
"Oh, just kiss already." Eggman groaned, looking away from the scene and sipping his juice.
He was nudged by Tails, as though to quit his muttering.
Sonic and Amy seemed to not have heard him, but Knuckles glared a warning at Eggman to remain silent while they had their moment.
"Sonic…" her hands reached out to him. "This isn't a dream… right?"
He immediately took her hands, stepping forward. "I never doubted you, Amy… Even away, I had this feeling that everyone was alright–or at least–going to be alright. I promise, from now on, you'll never have to fight alone… never again."
"Oh, Sonic..!" she jumped into his arms, and they embraced one another, tightly. "I knew you'd come back! I knew it with all my heart! I knew if I just kept believing, if I never gave up hope, no matter how much Metal Sonic taunted me or tried to crush my hope–I never stopped believing you'd come back!"
The gang all smiled, touched by the scene.
Sonic… gently took her back quill and stroked it comfortingly… She continued to speak.
"I never doubted you either… not once. I looked to the skies, no matter how many times fighting seemed futile… no matter how much Metal Sonic tried to make me give up… I just knew in my heart… that you were coming back to me. That you'd never leave us utterly alone…"
"I'm back, Amy." He was too overwhelmed with emotion to say anything else. He just held her, hearing her words, glad she was alright.
"I… I love you, Sonic The Hedgehog."
It was a plea that left everyone's heart speechless at the desperate tone it took to convey that message.
All but Eggman's, who instead of taking another sip of his juice, let it smack back down on the table, unable to handle the 'feelies' anymore. "Ugh…" he began to get up to leave.
"Thank you." Sonic pulled her closer, "Thank you for surviving. For taking care of business for me. I… I appreciate it, Amy."
"Hmph." Eggman adjusted his coat and then walked by them, opening the door. "She did more than that." He grumbled, "Honestly,… if you're not gonna acknowledge that she's the sole reason for why you were able to succeed in that last half, I don't know what I ever thought of you." Eggman mimed picking up a ghost hat from the coat rack stick and began to leave, but stuck his head out one last time to say a final word, "By the way, you died, Sonic cried, and everyone brought you back. Just filling you in."
Sonic's eyelids lowered and his hands fell to his sides as Amy released him and spun around to Eggman, shocked. "WHAT!?"
"Eggman…" Sonic growled out.
"By the way, the real monster is the one who won't say I love you back, toodaloo!" Eggman closed the door.
"I died!?" Amy flung herself around. "Was I really dead!?"
"Almost." Tails rolled his body into a lean, gesturing his arm to Amy, exasperated by Eggman's cruel slip. "…Kinda..?" he squinted his eyes, "Sonic?" he looked for reassurance.
Sonic ran his hand down his face and turned around, "Everyone, calm down. We're all happy that everyone's here and-"
Amy spun back to Sonic, "You cried?" she seemed earnestly looking into his eyes for a response.
A split-second of fear rose in Sonic's eyes as he closed his eyes and shook his head, looking up to avoid eye-contact with her. "A-A-Anyway, Tails? What was that about a cake you and Cream were making?"
"A cake? Oh! I almost forgot!" but the second they said that the fire alarm went off and the place was drench in water.
"…I still call Metal Sonic's demise." Amy loudly boasted, and the gang all half-laughed a bit at that before cleaning up the place…
Amy had the last laugh in the end… still, she had no weaknesses. Only one hope, and one love.
