FRREEEEDDDOMMMM!
Prompt:
Shadow had began to notice something off with Amy, she definitely being a bit too submissive with just letting her ideas go unheard, but he started to wonder what she was actually trying to talk about.
Later, Silver stated that the future was at stake if this last attack didn't go well, however, Amy stood back, and began to walk away from the crowd.
Sonic had turned around, seeing her departure. "Amy! Wait up." he turned and gestured a small motion with his hand towards her, as she jumped skillfully up a building, before continuing to face her back to him.
Shadow turned around too, wondering…
Was she finally going to speak up about what she thought now?
"…I… I need to do something. Something that feels right."
Confused, Sonic was about to walk over and kindly as what she was talking about, but Shadow immediately held out a hand and came up to Sonic, shaking his head.
"I may not know Amy very well… but I think you should trust her on this one." Having spent some time on a mission with her, he trusted that whatever she had wanted to speak up about before to Sonic,… was probably very important to her.
Silver suddenly also dashed in the line of Amy and Sonic, spreading his arms out, and assertively slashed a hand down to put some passion to his words, "Let her go, Sonic. This is how it must be…"
Sonic raised an eyebrow, looking up and at the two hedgehogs. "You mean… she's meant to leave?"
"Only for a short while but…" Silver looked down, as if something was nagging him… something was catching in his throat, but he forced it up, trying to not make eye contact. "Yes…"
Sonic looked up at Amy, worry coming across his face, before Shadow stepped up again, seeing as Amy had looked over her shoulder, wondering if he'd be okay with letting her go off on her own too.
Shadow put a hand to Sonic's shoulder. "I normally wouldn't do this… but with what Silver just said… I think you should consider the possibilities… and how this is our last chance…"
The tone Shadow used on the end was pretty clear to Sonic… he had to consider the battle… if this assault didn't work, according to Silver, they would fail and Eggman will succeed in his creating his new world.
Something… bit inside Sonic. Something… pinched and strained to rip at little areas in Sonic's heart. It was like the worry inside him was bothering him… what if something happened to her.. and he wasn't there to save her?
Another flinch of pain.
He barely showed this, just squinted his eyes in a slight twitch, as he began to process all the possibilities…
So many…. possibilities…. that don't all end well.
Sonic turned back to Amy, shaking his head. "I don't quite get it…But," he looked up, giving her a thumbs up, and confident smile.
"I understand you gotta do what'cha gotta do! Hurry back, Amy!" Sonic waved her off and turned, having only for a split second see her smile with genuine love for him.
But he couldn't look at it for long… he had to turn away… it was necessary.
Everything was pulling him back to her side. She belonged safely there. Not off on her own..
But he knew that everything around him was reassuring him she'd be just fine, he had to get his mind off that and trust her.
After all… she had trusted him to return to everyone's aid. And he did so.
What constitutes that she won't do the same?
Shadow and Silver turned to watch him walk away, but only moved when they saw him run towards the teams.
They were assured now he was willing to stick to his decision, and Shadow closed his eyes, almost in a nod, before running ahead of him. Silver, looking oddly guilty for some reason, turned away with his teeth showing in his frown, a harsh look of 'keeping it together' for a moment, before he took off ahead of Sonic and up with Shadow too.
Sonic purposefully slowed down, watching the two take off ahead of him, and slowly turned to look back.
She was gone.
'…Be safe…' he's eyes bent to an arch of concern. '…Amy…'
He moved his head forward, not giving the intruding thoughts a second more.
Later in the game, Sonic was enraged.
Not only had Silver lied to him to try and keep the mission from failing for the future's sake, but Amy had allowed her soul to be absorbed to power into a powerful, ancient machine.
This machine could ensure victory in seconds, but Sonic wasn't willing to go through with it.
Defeating the machine, taking it down before it could fully charge up Amy's soul-power to attack, he broke the metallic mirror beast into fragments, and when he saw Amy's image in one, he beat against it.
"Amy!"
"Sonic…" Amy's voice sounded echo-y… it didn't feel right.
He moved closer to the mirror, breaking any distance between them. "Get out of there! It isn't safe!"
"Sonic… This is what needs to happens." Amy nodded, but far in the distance, Shadow had fought Silver in rage, also believing him. He then left him with a threat, and went to try and keep the assault going without Sonic's help.
Silver, getting up from the ground, coughed in pain at having the wind knocked out of him.
Everyone… walked by him.
He was shunned from the team, but he still felt he only did what was required of him.. to save his future… even if that meant losing an innocent soul…
What was one soul to an entire future of souls?
"I'm so sorry, Amy…" he lowered his head, holding in tears as his shoulders bounced. "I couldn't let him save you!" he slammed his fists to the cold, cracked pavement, letting the black soot of war grip around the side of his glove.
He tightened his fists, letting it scrape back and forth against the pavement as he bent his head down, "But I couldn't lose this mission… I couldn't let Blaze… or anyone down! Not again!"
"AMY!" Sonic saw her fading, as the machine was broken but not completely destroyed yet.
She smiled kindly, "Sonic, all I want to do is help! Even Silver said this was necessary!″
Sonic's expression was still very intense, as he ducked his head, realizing she wasn't going to listen to him.
He started smashing into the mirror through his spin-attack, homing around her image as to not crack what little he had to see of her.
She stepped back and looked around, seeing him trying to break in.
"Sonic! No! Don't-!"
He stopped and pushed against the mirror, feeling some foreign aura from it.
As he strained, he spoke through gritted teeth, "You've always been so stubborn, Amy! You know I would never have let you gone through with this. Then why!? When you knew I would be upset! I don't want to win this war without every one of my friends safe and sound beside me. We were suppose to win this together! Amy!" he shoved the shard of the mirror again, ramming into it, starting to get desperate. "Fight!"
She did nothing, but watched in touched horror as he kept attacking the mirror, doing everything in his power… just to save her…
"Sonic…" she started tearing up.
And then…
"If…" he started shaking against the mirror.
He put his hands up, leaning his head down and upon it's reflective surface, his face not even present in it, but just her image… her hand against the mirror…
He placed his head right upon it, before his voice turned cold and almost sounding betrayed…
"If you love me…" he began, "You wouldn't do this…. not to me."
Her eyes shook.
The mirror began to quake.
Suddenly, Amy summoned her hammer and smashed from the inside of the mirror, struggling as she looked behind her, seeing a light coming for her.
"Sonic!"
He looked up, a broken man before seeing her struggling, the fear in her eyes at the light coming to engulf her.
He once again took a powerful swing at the mirror, looking serious and dead-bent on not failing her, or his team, ever again!
Suddenly, the mirror broke and Amy leaped out.
Her body was spiritual, not physical, so when she went to embrace him, and him her, to grab her and carry her far away from here… from danger…
Her body faded and disappeared.
In shock, he looked around himself, only having caught air.
"I'm here!" Amy called, as he gripped his chest, breathing out a second in shock.
He couldn't hear it.. but he felt the words come to his mind.
"Run!"
He looked up but was sucked into the mirror.
Within the mirror world, Sonic had to the fight the being that first drew Amy in, deluding her with lies that this was the only way she could save her friends, and this angered Sonic, immensely… cause this 'being' had convinced her that Sonic would have honored her deed, and understood it.
"Like heck I would have!" he drew back a fist, and broke the mirror containing the ancient machine's being, an old spirit who last sacrificed himself for his people when it was first made.
He escaped the mirror world, realizing how Amy may be feeling now, before suddenly getting a swarm of images, memories that he didn't own, and feelings that were also not his own.
The connection he felt with Amy was unbearable. He didn't like having two sets of thoughts, feelings, memories,…even desires..
He shook his head, "Look, I don't mean to be rude Amy, but…" A memory from her flashed through his mind, and a feeling of joy he had never felt before, a silly emotion, so it seemed, of butterflies and energy swarmed up his chest and flushed all other thoughts out of his mind.
Was this how Amy felt when she was around him?
"But cut it out!" Sonic stopped, shaking his head profusely. "Ugh… I think I'm gonna be sick…" he gripped his stomach, not liking all the different sets of emotional and mental strain having two souls inside him was doing.
"Just pipe down a moment and I'll get you back to-"
He was amazed to see Tails, and the rest of the team by Amy's body.
"…Everyone…" he was shocked to see them.
They turned around, smiling calmly to him.
Tails walked forward, speaking first. "We couldn't continue without you. Both of you." He nodded, and Sonic smiled, putting a hand to his shoulder, and nodding.
Amy was deeply touched, and Sonic could feel it.
He smiled wider, knowing she would want him to say something on her behalf.
But they didn't know about her being a soul and all that…
He just simply closed his eyes, looking a bit awkward as he stated, "She would appreciate that, Tails."
Sonic walked over to her, and bent down by her bodies side.
"Anything?" he wasn't sure if her soul was just going to spring out of him back into her body, and waited as Tails pulled out the Miles Electric.
"W-woah!" Tails was shocked, seeing signatures that read two different wave lengths inside of Sonic's being.
A wave length did leave Sonic, giving him some relief, but was torn between the space of him and the resting body.
"Ah! It looks like she's trying to wake up!" Tails looked down, along with the rest of the team, trying to see if she'd be okay.
She squirmed, calling for Sonic gently as he bent over and gripped her hand.
"I'm here, Amy… I'm right here…"
The subtle touch made the aura stronger, as she smiled, able to speak more audiably.
"I can't… I can't fully feel…" she felt blind, like she couldn't hear, only understanding him through their rare connection.
Tails was trying to read what he was seeing, but couldn't understand.
"It got stronger the closer you were to her, but… Ah! It's moving away!"
The aura was being pulled back into Sonic, as he slightly panicked, getting closer to her.
"Amy… Hang on!"
"She's losing it!"
"Amy!"
The teammates looked away, thinking the worst was bound to happen.
They had lost… so many…. along the way… they were the few left to defend the world now.
Amy slowly stirred at the closeness, but her soul couldn't fully attach.
"Sonic…"
Again… that strange feeling…
Sonic bent down slower.
"The readings! They're off the-!"
There was a light press as Sonic once again felt the relief of her soul leaving his presence, and hoped this meant she had fully returned.
The party all turned to stare once again, before a wild cheer was had when Amy opened her eyes, Sonic fully leaned back, and resting as he knew she'd be alright now.
Shadow and Silver had carried out the mission with their bare hands, but were about to fall to exhaustion and face their demise till the team showed up.
After the final battle, Silver was shocked that not only did they succeed, but they succeeded without Amy being lost.
"That's… that's not…" Silver was glad, don't get him wrong, but he couldn't fathom how it worked out.
"There are…urk.." Shadow strained, laying down on the grass where the team had placed the two to recover. "Many … possibilities… in this world. Life times… change… destinies… rewritten.." he fought the pain, as his body began to hyper-regenerate itself.
Sonic had come back after seeing Tails and Amy had already returned to help Silver and Shadow, before Amy turned around, gasping at Sonic being alright, and racing across towards him.
"Sonic!"
He nervously smiled, then stepped back a few times, holding his arms out to brace for impact…
She collided into his arms, laughing as he turned his face to avoid hers, but kept his eyes bent in care for her well-being, chuckling in his nerves.
"I'm so glad you didn't risk your soul! I'm sorry, Sonic! I had to break out! I had to prove that I-!"
Suddenly, she was cut off when Sonic returned her nuzzling for a brief moment, before looking away.
"I-I-I'm glad you're safe too." he looked away, his mouth turning to a slight swiggle as he spoke.
She blinked her eyes, not fully understanding or having it click in her mind before a huge, open grin crossed her face once more.
She lovingly looked to her hero before closing her eyes and lowering her eyelids, seeing that things may change for the better now that he had experienced her feelings and thoughts from before.
Maybe… this meant he also understood why she did what she did.
Suddenly, she turned away to see Shadow trying to lean up, before falling back in down in exhaustion.
"Shadow!"
"Huh?" Sonic, not liking the sudden 'shift' of her attention looked shocked with blinks of confusion at how fast Amy left the situation.
He hadn't had much time with her other than helping her to 'wake up' so to speak, and frowned a bit as he walked after her to Shadow's side.
She bent down by Shadow's side, as he looked up, smiling.
"Heh, I just knew they couldn't kill you." he smirked, before feeling the pain spike up his back again. "Ugh…. you're too stubborn to lie down."
She grinned warmly to him, before tried to help him get up.
He patted his hand in the air, a motion for her to leave him be, and slowly rose up, before falling back down. "D…Darn it." his eyebrow twitched as he held his chest for a second.
"Just let yourself rest.." Amy gently lowered him down, as he didn't have much chance to put up a fight about it. "It's not that you're weak, you're just spent. So no complaining or beating yourself up over this! Okay?"
Sonic folded his arms… looking away with a slight pout on his face.
Seeing his reaction, Shadow smirked, knowing the hero was probably wanting some time with Amy.. Alone… without distraction.
He looked to Amy, "Did you know how Sonic revived you? I think you would be.. erk! …hah….hah… interested… to know…"
It was probably the only act of kindness Shadow would do for Sonic, and he mostly did it for Amy's sake.
He had grown fond of her positive but forth-going attitude, and knew that in some ways… she was perfect for Sonic's weaknesses and flaws.
She complimented what he couldn't have on his own, and gave him strengths he couldn't have possessed without her influence in his life.
Shadow felt that first hand, but didn't say anything.
Sonic flinched at his words, leaning back, his spines bristling upwards.
"S-Shadow!" he looked like he was trying to threaten him. "Don't you dare!"
"Huh?" Amy blinked.
"Just like a fairytale… he bent down… and kissed you alive." Shadow closed his eyes, before breathing hard and seeing Sonic point a finger at him, only one eye slightly opened as a wicked grin spread across Shadow's face.
Sonic had leaned down to him, "I'll get you for this!" he whispered, before waving his hands to Amy and stepping back, seeing her lean forward with excitement and get up, rushing after him, hands behind her back, humming as if wanting him to admit it.
"Is that so..?" she giggled, as Sonic nervously tried to sway her away.
"N-now Amy, Shadow probably just saw things! You can't take his word for it-Eeee!" he dashed off, as Amy laughed and took off after him, calling his name as she usually, fondly, did.
Shadow's ears turned slightly, as he smiled and closed his eyes.
"He's not moving… nearly as fast… as he could be. Heh. So I was right." he strained to get up again, not having Amy as his annoying nurse anymore, he was glad by the sounds of the sweeped passed bushes that Sonic was only fibbing his fears..
He was skillfully leading her away from the open eyes of the crowd…
"You… did that… for them to be alone?" Silver looked confused, also trying to lean up.
Shadow kept a smile before it faded, "I owed her one."
Silver didn't get it, but looked away, still feeling guilty.
"Don't worry.." Shadow got up, feeling more strength as his body quickly began to mend itself. "I won't tell her of your deceit."
"She may have figured it out by now…" Silver looked away.
"Or she'll think it was her own fluke. A stroke of bad luck. Don't say anything and you'll be fine." Shadow glared, still not forgiving him, but accepting that Silver wasn't a bad guy.
Later that day… Sonic struggled as Amy had 'caught' up to him, and tackled him down to the ground with mini-kisses all over his face.
He alluded any 'real' ones but seemed to try and push her off, ducking, turning, doing whatever he could to avoid the doting on and kicking his legs as if to escape.
Suddenly, the speaker on his communicator turned on that was attached to his wrist.
Suddenly, his expression of uncomfortability faded and he looked quite normal, turning to answer the call. "What is it?"
"Sonic! The others are heading back, you should too!"
"Oh… Can't do, Tails."
Amy leaned back, a little surprised to hear that.
"Amy's got herself into trouble again. Don't worry! Nothing too big I can't handle. Anyway, I'll bring her back soon. Until then, I'm busy."
Sonic clicked the communicator off and quickly shot himself back to his back, as if still 'imprisioned' or 'stuck' under her.
".. Trouble?" Amy smiled, raising an eyebrow as she wondered if this meant…
"…Well,-" Sonic leaned up, close to her.
"You aren't now… not yet." His expression suddenly shifted.
Her eyes widened and her face blushed.
