It's a birthday week! I just thought of this one while watching some inspiring and emotional scenes from all different types of animation. I guess my birthday wish is for characters that I've longed to see have a 'strong impacting moment' have them again sometime in the future that pumps us all up to cheer for them!
Commissions and prompts are open, but if you've submitted 3 ideas already, please hold off and let others have a try! :Db Thank you!
Prompt:
"Metal Sonic!" Amy spread her legs into a balanced stance. Her scuffed up boot dug deeper into the ground to give her a firm footing. The wind howled like a forlorn cry as she brought her hammer up, beginning to twirl it around herself as she did when she miraculously deflected Eggman's canonfire.
Metal Sonic was already going after his first priority: Sonic.
However, this little pink hedgehog was proving to be quite the nuisance.
He stopped in his departure and turned to see her still rearing to fight, but his scanners only saw her as an annoyance, not a threat.
The image of Rosy the Rascal was engraved in his memory, Amy Rose could not change his view of her. Pathetic.
"I won't let you run!" she cried out, feeling the ache in her back and to alleviate some of it's pressure, she hunched forward just slightly. "You will never be like Sonic The Hedgehog!"
It's head turned with a creek of its steel, and its eyes blazed red in a heated acknowledgement of her words.
She found a moment to take a step forward, pushing herself to make him see her, to defeat the doubts that told her she could be destroyed trying to take him on.
"I've decided something, Metal… I've decided… I'm not going to try and redeem you." she squinted her eyes, feeling her heart grow heavy as she admitted that.
He continued to stare at her, now fully turning his body towards her.
"Instead, I'm going to defeat you!" She took her existing hammer and swung it out, making it grow even larger than when Eggman had tried to trap her in that cavern.
"I could only make that decision because I knew two things, Metal Sonic! One, that you will never measure up to Sonic!"
Metal Sonic's body hunched over, twitching in his rage.
"And secondly… Not just that… but that you don't have a heart to redeem." She turned to a moment of tenderness, as though still wishing that weren't the case. "You true to follow your programming and be what you are… a villain. No, worse than that, a villain's puppet… bent on being nothing more than a nuisance in this world!" She stepped forward again, "So no matter what I say to you, no matter how hard I try and teach you about friendship and the beauty found in this intangible world… you will only hate. Comparing yourself to Sonic, you are nothing like him! He taught Tails how to fly a plane!" she sped herself back into a ready stance as he charged her. It was like he was teleporting, how fast he moved.
He sent a slashing hand through to her center but she reflexed to holding her hammer like a sword engaging against a metallic shredder.
"Grr…Urk… HARRRAH!" she threw him off, and he flew back a moment.
"He brought Knuckles out of his isolation!" She swung her hammer to deflect his version of a homing-attack.
All the while, he was moving her back down the mountain, as though proving a point… she could never face him head-on…
As though mocking her for trying, he kept his next consecutive attacks with full force but slower, allowing her to block and continue to be pushed back by his power.
"Urk, gah… ha!" she blocked again and again, trying to swipe at him but he expertly would dodge her.
Zooming in to grab her hammer, he decided now would be a good time to boost his thrusters and send her farther back down the rocky cliff.
"AHHH!" he shoved her down and the hardness of the rock scraped against her bareback side.
He tried to pull the hammer out of her grasp, but she held on, making her pull her up as she took a foot and jammed it above his rotating center core, burning with fuel to allow him to operate.
She kicked off and he willingly let go… to him, this was mere child's play. Just a way to shake her off his tail while he continued to hunt down Sonic.
She landed well but felt herself start to strain. 'Not now…' she got herself back up, 'Not yet.' she took her hammer in both hands, moving it clumsily over her shoulder.
"Y-you forget… or you don't know-!" she bent herself, getting ready for the biggest home-run of her life. "Who taught me to fight..!" she charged forward, and underestimating her momentary rest, Metal Sonic leisurely lifted a hand to stop her but was slammed down by the unforeseen force that came with her hit.
He was knocked to the side, his eye-lights shaking in his mental computer unable to compute what had just happened.
"He helped me to never give up!" she swung again, forcing him back to his feet and then slammed him down once more, "He taught me that you make your own destiny! The way you envision it! The way you want it to be!"
She kept hammering into him, and soon, as he began to step back… unable to brace himself from her impacts, he was losing pieces of his metal hide one after the other.
He stumbled, tripped, and fell over himself with each massive hit she threw at him… now he was the one getting pushed back up the mountain's side…
"You will never be like him… because you don't know what's it like! You'll never understand what Sonic has learned from us! What we've gained from him!" she continued to wham him with sensational fury and continual endurance, a steady show of power that only ever increased with each new powerful hit of her Piko Piko Hammer.
Amy's swings became more and more rapid, but still carried so much weight in every blow.
Metal Sonic's systems began to glitch out on his eye-lights, unable to process the progression of how far the battle had turned.
"Maybe it's all Eggman's fault… or maybe you truly just want to watch the whole world burn… but either way… There can only be one Sonic that lasts in my heart!" She brought the hammer over her head, and a crack of thunder burst from behind her, traveling like a spiderweb through the dark sky.
But it was that moment that Amy hesitated, breathing hard as her compassionate heart got the better of her.
Her eyes loosened from their fierce anger and narrowed bridge, realizing how awful she must appear.
She saw Metal Sonic struggling to get up, one of his eyes dented by her strikes and the other glaring up at her.
"…I'm no monster…" She stepped away, breathing out as the mental image of herself appeared in her mind. "I'm no villain… I'm just a hedgehog… who can't stand to see people suffer around her…"
Within Metal Sonic's programming, the image of Rosy the Rascal was being infiltrated, as Metal Sonic began to override his own logic and erase her image from his memory core… replacing it with that terrifyingly powerful stance Amy held before… and blurred out the threat level… having it massively bolded and blaring red: MAJOR THREAT.
"I'm not you." she hissed out, seeing him shoot himself into the air, and charge his stomach-engine with a growing energy ball…
She remembered… pleading to the Chaos Emeralds to let her go super, and having her wished denied.
Even thought she remembered… she held out her hand… "Chaos…"
Metal Sonic threw his arms back, bringing the the charge to the height of its power!
"…Please…" she squinted her eyes in the brightness of his blast that she knew she wouldn't be able to escape or dodge from.
The Master Emerald flared to life, spiraling out from around it one of the Chaos Emeralds, a orange light spinning with it as it trailed a beautiful glow of chaos energy.
Tikal's ghostly image appeared behind the flying emerald, moving like a comet towards her open hand to the side. "Amy..!" her voice cried out to her.
As the beam of Metal Sonic's energy cascaded down like a vigorous wall of molten heat… The Chaos Emerald zipped to Amy's side, and she caught it.
"CONTROL!" Amy held up the emerald as time itself broke the fabric of space and reality and pushed her through its limits to appear twisting behind Metal Sonic.
He tried to turn around to her, but it was too late.
With one arm, her quills lingering up in the intensity of the moment, Amy crashed her hammer into his back, crunching the circuitry and snapping the tense wires out of place. Electricity burst from his being as he came smacking down into the earth below… Into the very crater of a grave he created for himself…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Amy gave her everything to that attack, the Chaos Emerald's glow ceased and she began to fall through the air.
"Ha…ha… oh no!" She looked around her, realizing taking out Metal Sonic was now the least of her worries. She had been transported thousands of feet into the air, and now… she was plummeting down at accelerated speeds.
"Sonic…" her eyes watered, before she clutched the Chaos Emerald again, "Chaos control!" her trembling hands from the wind pressure exposed its glossing form only to reveal it was still dull of any influence from her voice command… Her eyes widened, "This can't be…" she squinted her eyes against the wind force again, "CHAAOOSSS! Control!" she tried again, turning it up towards the sky but nothing…
"S…S…Soooniiiccc!" she released the emerald from her hand, bundling her fists up to her chest and crying out her hero's name…
In her most dire moment… a shimmer sparked like a star igniting far from her soul… but a sonic boom pulsed through the air as a figure–launched like a missile–swooped in an arch to grab her before she met her end.
She felt the lapping wind as the figure began to come to a screeching halt, trying to slow its momentum down before she felt herself blackout a moment.
When her limp body came too, she blinked to see a glowing figure above her. "-y…Amy..! Amy!"
Her eyes adjusted… and the bright being before her… was her Sonic.
"Amy, are you alright?" He was leaning over her, his two hands holding him up above her resting body, laying her down by the side of the cold mountain…
"Where's Metal Sonic..?" He seemed concerned, and a gentle smile lifted to her face as her eyes glistened from his warm light.
"Sonic… I… I did it." Her voice was barely above a whisper, but it was soft and gentle, something he wasn't used to.
To show this, he leaned back a moment, his eyes widening in surprise by her sudden expression.
She was so full of gratitude, so content in helping her friends from the threat of Metal Sonic…
His smoking head rest deactivated, after having his form split apart and tumble loose down the rocky cliffs of the mountain's proud face.
She was proud… but would he be?
"I beat him…" she gave a more fuller grin to her already exhausted and drained complexion. "Now… you're the only Sonic…"
Sonic's image was blurring again.
"W-wait…" she wanted it to stay… but in that blurr, it focused only briefly to a proud smile on Sonic's face, a happy expression.
"Thank you…" He began, as she blinked her eyes softly again, the world blacking once more. "Amy..."
