Prompts are on SHUTDOWN. Please, do NOT send me prompts at this time, thank you ^^
Prompt:
"Amy! Don't-!" Sonic could barely get the words out when Amy dived in to save Cream from her own Zombotified mother.
"Amy!" Cream called out, having Gemerl pull her aside and up into the air.
Sonic skid to a halt, the analyzer still on him, Tails flying right ahead of him.
His eyes shook… Did that really just happen?
Vanilla's Zombot self grabbed Amy, but she used her Piko Piko Hammer to fling her off, breathing hard as the infection began to spread.
Cream cried out, before suddenly going mute and white in the face.
Tails flew by Sonic, but seeing where his eyes were, recognized what had happened and felt like a heavy gust of wind had knocked him back. "No…" He muttered, "Amy..!"
Amy looked at her arms, held herself a moment… there was, of course, fear… but then there was absolute love for those watching her rapidly change before them.
Her fear turned into courage, and she smiled to Sonic. A gesture he always did to comfort her when fear arose.
Cream's soul seemed lost and distant, her head lowering as though unable to process that Cheese, her mother, and now her best friend were lost to her.
Gemerl was the only one to speak, "Containmenation is at 54% and climbing, procedure indicates that we are to evacuate immediately." He looked over to Tails and Sonic, still frozen in the moment.
Tails shook his head, "We'll find a cure." He looked determined, steadfast in his words as his eyebrows narrowed in a strong conviction upon his face. "We'll do it." he held out his hand to Sonic.
"Sonic, the analysis!"
But Sonic didn't move.
"Sonic!"
He ran to her.
"No! Sonic, don't!" it was foolishness, Tails couldn't follow after him.
Amy's eyes, one not Zombotifized yet, watched in amazement as Sonic grabbed her arms.
"Fight it!" his voice was stern, not a touch of empathy, but there was something there… She couldn't dwell on it though. Her mind grew hazy, arms stiffening, she could barely feel his touch anymore…
His own infection was beginning to spread… his lack of movement causing it.
"Move, Amy!" His grip tightened. "Move!"
"I.." Amy felt her consciousness slip away. "I love you."
His eyes broke momentarily from their fixed, unyielding hardened look to a heart that shattered inside.
He immediately took on a different approach, as the silver metal virus spread up, almost reaching the face, which was the only spot on her not covered in metal yet.
He placed his hand to her rapidly Zombotifing cheek, "If this works," He began… but she swiped his hand away.
"It will work!" She pulled her hammer to her side, and with all her might, she began to spin it around.
Marveling, the others watched and began to step back.
Her speed doubled, tripled, like an Olympian swing she held herself as though performing a deadly act, an angled spinning tornado that wouldn't stop.
Then, when every breath was held, even Sonic's own body turning far too silver for anyone's comfort… Gemerl's systems flickered and began to animate him again.
"94%… and decreasing." he uttered, which left every mouth agape.
Vanilla and the others were being held back by Silver's powers, shoving a wall of metal at them, struggling.
"What's going on!?" He called out, every ounce of his power pushed into that last resort, head down and sweat falling from his face. One eye was squinted as he looked up, his arms shaking, before seeing a dark pink silver suddenly lose its luster shine and begin spinning slower.
When she finally broke, "7% contamination."
"It's… It's not just Sonic." Tails was floored, completely unable to collect himself.
Sonic, on the other hand…
He couldn't remain still anymore. "Amy…" He immediately noticed his state as she cried out for him to run.
His hand reached for her, but then he noticed the scaling virus, almost completely covering him and bolted.
"Sonic is at 89%." There was some animated vocal pattern in that delivery, as though Gemerl tried to simulate an exclamation point. His head leaned down to look to Cream, still a ghost in his arms. "Cream. Your breathing is not adequate. Calm your heart rate. Amy Rose has momentarily suppressed the infection as did Sonic."
"I can't keep spinning forever." Amy stated, though there was a kindness in her eyes as she looked to Cream's state.
Cream looked to her, eyes finally forming tears with reality.
"I'll get a headache from the dizziness. Then how will I lead the rebellion?" She shrugged, trying to make things light.
It wasn't working.
"Amy…" Tails still needed that analysis… but he looked to see Silver falling to a knee.
"We need to go." He looked sorrowfully to Amy.
"Go." She nodded, confidently. "I'll meet-up with Sonic. We're partners now… kinda." She gave Tails a half-hearted thumbs up.
"I… The cure…"
"Leave that one to me as well. Get Cream and Silver out of here." She swiped her free hand out, standing firmly in place as the infection began again.
She was right, she couldn't spin forever…
The act only bought her time…
Sonic returned to see the Zombots walking passed Amy's spinning, but she finally stopped and seemed about to tip over, losing her balance.
Sonic gave it a second thought, before realizing now he could…
He slowly bought himself to a run… and then, zoomed as fast as he could to her, grabbing her.
She dipped into his hold, it had been a long time since either of them had held the other…
He just stared at her… his grip tightened… then his mouth closed and his eyes turned to actual empathy now.
"You're-"
"We're. Yes." Amy smiled, showing some care in how he must be feeling.
She moved up and placed a hand on his chest, staring down at it for a moment… "…I know it's been a long time, but…" She looked back up at him. "I don't have much time…" Her face was half-joking, but he didn't blink twice.
He consented and wrapped his arms around her, "I'm so sorry, Amy."
"Don't be! It's just like me to walk into fire after you." She continued to keep the atmosphere light, but once she felt his head fall to her shoulder, his arms secure themselves around the metal virus that began to spread by their close proximity, she couldn't keep the tough-girl act up anymore.
Tears broke out and she closed her eyes, ugly sobbing as quietly as she could as she squeezed him back, an embrace that could only mean Goodbye.
"…Tails will figure this out." Sonic's body began to rapidly grow silver metallic goo again… as well as Amy's dark pink oozing metal that soared up her arms and legs.
"Em." Amy nodded, wanting to wipe her face but looking at her wrist to see it fully spiked out with a hard metal coding.
It frightened her, but she looked to Sonic's shoulder, still flesh, and wiped her tears there.
"I'm sorry." she slightly laughed, "I don't have much choice."
He didn't say anything, just held her tighter.
"It's selfish, isn't it? To want to turn with you? Disappear together… heh, but you need to run and find the others, get the cure to Tails. Find me and-"
He stopped her and pulled her away, "It's more than selfish," he began, and pulled her lips to him.
When he stepped away, she was encased in metal.
He had no choice…
With his head held down… he ran.
(I was trying so hard to keep this in character but then the AU kiss thought happened and I just..!? How do you say no?!)
