Prompts are on shutdown EVERYWHERE, posting on my other writing sites DOES NOT mean you get your prompt done XD It's only through here, on Tumblr, when the GRAND REOPENING is announced, which it is NOT. Thank you, lovely Cuties~ I'm sorry it's taking so long, I'm trying to finish Fanfiction TAT
Prompt:
A spinning, spiky blue ball revs itself up in the air at a high-pitched frequency, dropping down almost with an intense sense of gracefulness as it tears seamlessly through Eggman's latest doom's day device.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Eggman grips his head with both his massive, puffy gloves and reels his head back, "I won't let you get away with this! Not this time, Hedgehog!" Stomping around his large ship, he slams his hand on a button which triggers a lever he pulls down, thus activating a flipping panel on the ground that looks like a car's gas pedal which he stomps on, and in turn lowers a dangling line above his head with a triangular grip that is meant to be tugged.
Still fuming, grinding his teeth against each other, he growls and reaches up like a train conductor and pulls it, "Take this! You spiny little cretiiiinnn!"
With a howling roar, spit flying from his agape mouth, Eggman's ship lowered the tip of its nose, making the haul of its stomach 'chin-dip' and slam down to the ground.
Sonic, still well-within the confines shredding through the ship's interior, suddenly found his once-smooth aerial dive now wonkily swerving before turning horizontal.
As Eggman laughed, Sonic's spin ball started creating heat and pressure… Sonic didn't stop the rotation, but soon was slowly breaking through the hard metal one more and popped out of a hallway, moving now like a spinning-top on his side.
Eggman's face dropped, "WHHHAATT?!" He slammed his hands down, looking with horror and shock at the cameras and following the image as he sweated in fear.
The Cameras zoomed in, and it showed Sonic using a single toe, perfectly placed on the tip of his foot, to keep himself spinning at such high speeds while turned on his side.
"Curse that infernal-!" Eggman smushed his face with gripping fingers, before a robot tugged on his coat and made him look down, "Hmm?" He saw the robot pull out a crowbar, and point to it.
Eggman blinked twice… before smirking wickedly to him…
When Sonic burst through the doors of the control room, balancing out his spinning top self and wobbling to try and locate what to shred into next, the tiny robot by the side of the doors, hiding from sight, swung and hit his spinning leg.
There was a crack and Sonic unspun with a dramatic pose of spiraling in the air, his eyes squinted shut in pain before Tails's X-Tornado dived and shot through the window, making air burst into the space and–as most vacuums do–thrust Sonic out of the room and be dragged by the sky out into the open space.
"Grr… Trying to get away that easily, eh?" Thinking he had the upper hand now, even though he was kneeling on the ground and having a hand bring down his goggles from the rushing wind, Eggman still tried to sound cocky and confident.
"You there!" He pointed to the robot who was on the ground now, his hands under him, surprised that plan actually worked and jolted with a spark at being addressed, turning to his commander and sovereign Eggman. "Don't just lay about!" He swiped his arm out, "Do something!"
Realizing the Doctor was putting everything onto his tiny computerized brain's hand to hatch another genius but simple idea, the robot waddled over a bit awkwardly to the cabinet.
Delicately, he opened it and flinched at the door swinging open, then pulled tenderly out a bazooka.
"Oh, I forgot we had one of those…" Eggman's face looked a little like a man having forgotten where he put his keys.
Cocking it, the little metal and cylinder soldier began to try and walk towards the window before the wind began to pull him out as well.
His tiny little tin legs wiggled vigorously, but his firm grip on the large firepower he was wielding didn't budge while he spun slowly during the drop into the air.
"TINY TIMMM!" Eggman cried out, holding a hand out to him, "YOU BETTER BLAST HIM WHILE YOU'RE OUT THEEERREEE! This isn't a vacation, you know! You're still on duty!" He gripped that hand into a fist, showing that he was giving an order, not a moment of compassion.
The Robot, having oily tears in their eyes, realized that Eggman just gave him a name.
Even though the irony of breaking Sonic's leg, and the christmas season didn't quite register with the robotic soldier, he took that as a sign of promotion into Eggman's steely, black heart and was determined to not fail him.
He turned his body toward looking to the earth, and watching to see where Sonic landed…
"Soooniiiccc!" Tails cried out, turning around the plane but Eggman was sure to grab at the controls and fire at him, making Tails unable to pursue Sonic's descent. "Err..!" He squinted an eye, having to pull up. "I can't reach him!"
"What?" Knuckles, on his communicator, looked down at it as Amy covered her mouth in alarm. "What do you mean..?" His eyes shook a second and looked up with Amy, as they each scanned the skies…
Amy then gasped, "Look!" She pointed one hand out towards the flaming blue speck in the sky, falling towards the jungle-like forest, and another on Knuckles's shoulder to gain his attention to the detail.
"Grr..! That lousy-!" Knuckles shook a fist, but pulled Amy up over his head.
"W-Wah-Whaaa!" Amy shook out her arms, "K-Knuckles!" She wasn't sure what was about to happen, but suddenly feeling like he was going to throw her, she summoned her Piko-Piko Hammer.
"Grrr… I can't fly to him in time! You'll have to reach him on your owwwnnnn…!" Just as her instincts had foretold, he launched her through the air and she curled, her little red and white-trimmed dressing making it look like a badminton ball flapped wildly as she spun while still keeping her dress on.
Her hammer rotated so profusely, that as her own spinball hit against the trees, bounced off the ground, or slammed against rock, it kept her momentum moving and propelling her ever closer to the falling Sonic.
Finally, soaring up with one final, hard hit to the ground, she unspun and reached for Sonic… noticing the pain in his face and braving through the flames of his burning body to catch him before a deadly fate.
She landed on a tree's branch, but it fell and they both started to fall painfully through scratching twigs and leaves.
When Amy woke up… snow had begun to fall in the forest, and her little nose wiggled a second before her mouth wound-up twice and sneezed, pushing the small flake off.
"Emm… S-Sonic?" She rubbed her head, slowly getting herself onto her rear and sitting somewhat more upright. "That was a rough landing…" She groaned through the aches, but then gasped when she remembered, "Sonic!" She started to grip and throw up the leaves below her, searching frantically for him.
A bead of sweat ran down the side of her face, gritting her teeth as her eyes shook in loving worry, 'His leg was just dangling kinda weirdly in the air, just then… Was it injured?' She kept calling his name… to no avail.
Her chest fell and rose with cold air quickly icing her resolve, stinging at her heart already pumping with the warm adrenaline to save the man she called hero… whom she loved, dearly.
"SOOONIIICC!" She finally let out a single, elongated note of his familiar name…
Silence… the snowy forest…
Her breaths clung to the air like hot mist, pocketing that space before disappearing as quickly as blowing a bubble to pop. Scrambling, she got up to locate her communicator.
Pieces of the broken device were pulled out and held up to her face, making her look down as though her heart had sucken to that cold ground as well…
"No… Did I not…" Her shoulders bounced, tears unable to remain corralled in the pools of her lower eyelids. "Did I not make it in time..?"
Her hand shook with that open thought, as the pieces of metal slipped through her fingers, falling to the light snowy patches below her feet.
"Sonic…" she gripped her fists and felt herself faltering in being able to remain upright, hunching over. "Sonic…" She felt she was at blame, and slunk to her knees, freezing her even further to what could be the harsh reality of the situation…
"No… I won't believe it." She wiped her eyes with the back of her arm. "I… I gotta keep looking for Sonic..!" She bit her words as though to hold them fast to her heart, "Sonic…" She muttered once more, "Soooniiiccc!" She reared herself up and began to charge about the area, searching everywhere, leaving no square foot unmarked by her own shoe's print.
She could hear the sky battle above her head, and looked to see that Tails was still engaged with the now, downwards angle of the Eggman fleet's main air-cruiser.
Her eyes couldn't help but tremble, her body leaning away before her hands flung up and tightened around each arm. "I can't… I gotta keep looking for him." Her lips felt chapped and the cold only reminded her of the drying of her tears… before she quickly aboutfaced to keep looking for him.
Walking up a hill, treading through its piles of snow, she looked up to see the sky was now blanketed in the smoke of Eggman's senseless war. "Guess I can't rely on Tails or Eggman as a point-marker now." She blinked through the chill of the wind, and sighed as she tried to figure out where she hadn't looked.
"Could he have really been tossed from me so far..? OFFPH!" Tripping over some blue grass, she had scraped her knee and got up, shaking her head from having snow blanket it for a moment-
Blue… Grass?
Her eyes widened and she lifted her leg to see the gentle sway of the blue quills, just the tip sticking out from beneath the snow.
"SOONIICC!" Her heart about leaped out through her flailing to get back up, tugging on the quill and realizing it was fully stuck under the snow. She began to dig like her life depended on it, and… to a degree, he was.
"Sonic, breath! Speak! Wiggle! Do… something!" She tried to speak out before finally getting an arm and exclaiming loudly in surprised triumphant that she had gotten to him.
She tugged and began to pull him out, but he felt like dead weight.
Panic lit up her senses and now, she couldn't feel the cold, but hoisted him up onto her back and began to run down the hill, hurrying to where they had last been, finding an open tree's roots there and finding it a good, hollow den to at least try and wake Sonic up in.
Using the fallen leaves, she constructed a small bed for him, laying him down as saw that one of his legs fully detached from the bone.
She covered her mouth, "Oh no…" The pain must have knocked him out… he was probably passed out from the wind blasting by him on his fall anyway…
She gently touched the burnt ends of his quills and fur… Her eyes bunching up as though unable to see him in such a state.
"Oh, Sonic…" She brought his head up and tried to warm him, blowing lightly warm air out of her throat to his face.
"Please, Sonic… You have to at least show me you'll be alright…"
After a while, Sonic woke up to find his leg was perfectly straightened by two twigs, and someone had put it back in it's socket… "Ah… Glad I was asleep for that." He twitched at the pain but tried to move to turn around. However, it was too much for the poor hedgehog, having endured firepower beyond normal mortal means, he couldn't possibly stand for the fiery pain of a severely broken leg.
"Gahh…" He tried to lean up, "Who… Where am I?" He noticed a fire was burning, and looked strangely at the comforting glow, realizing he wasn't alone.
"Tails?" He first questioned the thought, 'But then… he'd just take me back in the X-Tornado… I'd be having warm soup by now…' He squinted one eye down and finally was sitting upright, being careful to not move the lame leg, "Knuckles?" It was reasonable, but that echidna wouldn't be foraging for berries or anything. He'd imagine Knuckles would have sat by the fire, the earth too hard to dig through during the winter seasons…
So that meant…
"Amy?" He raised an eyebrow, as though second-guessing that before hearing a bright voice exclaim in joy at hearing her name being called.
"Oh! Sonic! You're awake!"
Waiting a moment, he smiled as Amy came rushing in, holding more firewood that she quickly just dumped to the side, some catching fire but she didn't care at the moment. "SOONIICC! I was so worried about you!" she hugged him which made him have to hold back a cry, his banded leg with two sticks keeping it from twisting and turning further only moved slightly from Amy's tackling hug.
She was warm, though… and her voice filled him with ease.
He hugged her back, "Thank you." He calmly stated, "But what happened?" He looked to her face, then outside to the rain of explosions that sounded in the blurry, clouded sky… "Is that… smoke?"
"Em." Amy nodded, letting him go and tilting her body in the same direction as the sounds, "The communicator broke on our fall, I don't know how long Tails has been fighting in the air, but I'm pretty sure Eggman and our friends have lost sight of where he landed." She lowered her shoulders a bit, then rotated one around to stretch it. "Hoo…"
"Amy? You okay?" He noticed she looked a little worse for wear as well, "You're stone cold to the touch." He placed a glove to her arm before reflexing off of it, then placing it there again. "How long were you out there..?"
She smiled, glad he couldn't recollect how close to death he was while in the cold of the soggy snow he was buried under moments before.
"It's nothing~" She chimed, "I'm a tough girl, as well as cute, after all!" She put her hands to the sides of her cheeks, trying to get him to not worry about her so much.
"I think we should probably move when the smoke rolls out… or when the gunfire finally stops." She admitted, looking to the skies again and dropping her hands to her knees.
Sonic later asked her about how she got to him, and she explained the whole story… eeexcept the part about him almost suffocating under snow.
They talked and ate some of the wild onion grass she had collected, finding not a scrap left on the trees or bushes, figuring the other little critters had stored up for the coming winter anyway.
Not really liking the taste of it, Sonic just tried to see if he could hop on one leg, but Amy refused to let him go out to fight again.
Reluctantly, Sonic decided it was only polite to thank his brave rescuer by waiting it out.
But all the while… they worried about their friends well-beings… as the canons kept going off relentlessly.
"... You think they're winning?" Amy asked, "Or… Eggman is at least… missing?" She flinched as a large blast seemed to hit the ground a couple long miles away from them.
Sonic, with his hands behind his head, and a blade of onion grass sticking out of his mouth, took a frustrated breath in and sighed out just as quickly. "We can't hide out here forever, Amy… My leg isn't gonna heal that quickly." He tried to reason with her, and she knew that was probably right… but…
"Just… a little longer… let's believe in Tails and Knuckles… to solve this on their own, okay?" She looked back with a forced smile, her hand gripping her heart. "Seeing you like this… it makes me… unable to let you go… right now." She admitted, lowering her head and not having the courage to look at him in shame.
He eyed her with a turn of his gaze, not moving his head, before closing his eyes and not saying anything more about it.
The wind howled… before a foot fall was heard and Amy perked up, her ears twitched and she rushed out from the intertwined roots, "Knuckles!?" She exclaimed, more than expecting to see he had found them… before…
"... Sonic! Roll! Now!" She threw herself back to him as he looked to see a large missile fired into the hole.
Crying out in pain, he rolled as the blast sent the two flying to the back of the hollow tree.
Amy picked up Sonic's spiky spinball, "Don't uncurl! Whatever you do!" She cried out, as Sonic also–through immense pain–called her name but she was already grabbing a stick from the fire, the rest of the roots on fire from the blast anyway, and charged out of the large space.
She gasped as she noticed a small Eggman Robot, cocking the bazooka which had smoke slithering out of its mouth.
"You…" Amy's eyes narrowed, her anger giving her the needed heat throughout her body, ready to fight.
"He's already injured! Leave us alone!" She shouted out, but Sonic couldn't help and voice his concerns as well.
"Amy! Your back!" She could feel something cool drip down in different areas from her exposed back… but it was already frostbitten and she didn't dare think about what he was referring to.
"I'm fine. You just stay put and in your ball, Sonic." She breathed through the pain that was now burning from her back.
However… this sting was like when she first lost Sonic, it moved her forward, adrenaline coursing through her like Sonic moving through a winding course.
Amy set Sonic down, "Amy!" he cried out again, moving in wobbly attempts to 'roll' after her as she stepped up to bat.
"It's okay, I'm your strength too, Sonic!" She pulled the hammer up behind her shoulders, "Ready…" she narrowed her eyes, skidding a foot forward as though truly a baseball pro up for bat.
Sonic tilted his rolled body against her other, back leg, "Amy…" He couldn't argue with that.
"... Aren't I..?"
Uncurling, Sonic groaned out as the leg–the wooden beams now snapped and bent–was forced back into a straight position. His own problems meant nothing to him right now, though.
He looked up at Amy, seeing the wavering belief in her eyes, remembering that for a moment… she may have been the ultimate end for Sonic The Hedgehog…
Her memory went back to having no sign of him… and that haunted her… Was she really able to be there for Sonic… the way he was always there for her?
A shadow rose to meet her own on the ground, lightly shaded, as the clouds of smog were starting to clear out.
She gasped, looking down to see Sonic's silhouette was on one leg, his arms then trailing up to her own around her hammer.
She could feel the warm and comforting breath he spoke by her cheek, telling her to wait on his signal.
The robot fumbled a little getting the bazooka back in order, but then went to fire.
"... Now." Sonic's voice was light, but his grip held stronger around her hand.
She swung with everything she had while Sonic fell back to the ground, unable to hold himself up much longer due to the crippling pain.
The missile fired but Amy heard Sonic say, "Now let go!" In a ripping sound that shredded through her heartstrings… realizing how much he was suffering, but how that simple act showed her that he did trust in his friends–especially her in this moment–to get through it.
She let the hammer go and balanced herself, her dress spinning to one side of her body before the hammer's top plugged and jammed itself into the firing bazooka.
The Robot made computerized noises of horror before exploding along with the gun.
Sonic and Amy fell by each other's side in the blast, and Amy gripped onto Sonic.
In the cold of falling snow… the two breathed through great pain…
Shared pain… as Sonic's and Amy's eyes looked up to each other's… and a smile greater than pain emerged upon both their faces.
"We… erk… did it." Amy's back jerked from the tortuous mix of frost and burn mingling upon its bare skin…
"No, Amy." Sonic also couldn't keep both eyes opened, but squinted one. His charming smile never faded though, "You did it… You've always got my back." He gritted his teeth, but tried to make it look like a bright smile. "Thank you… again… A-Amy…"
Knuckles soon found them, Tails flew them home, and they ended up resting on opposite couches from each other.
While she read the insisted book about King Arther, the one Sonic kept trying to convince her had happened to him being pulled into it, making him miss one of their planned dates, he also reached over and held her hand, pretending to fall asleep.
She smiled as she read more of the book… wondering all the while…
"... Sonic?"
She knew he wouldn't answer.
"If I am your strength… why do I feel like… I'm not?" She put the book down over her chest, turning to the couch's spine to avoid looking over to him. "If I was your strength… I wouldn't have shut you into that tree hole den… I would have trusted that I could get you out of there… carry you to safety, and reunite with Tails and Knuckles again to save the day."
While she spoke, Sonic pretended to be asleep, but listened closely.
"... Then… When you braved the pain of your leg to stand beside me..? I knew then… that while you were down, so was my strength." She teared up, "But when you got up…" Her voice began to wane and take on a higher tune, as she wiped her eyes with the back of her glove. Her lips trembled, but she continued, "I… I need you more than I think you need me, Sonic… And that… That worries me." She sniffled, "Cause… Cause what if I'm needy? What if… without you… I'm nothing short of a useless girl?"
Sonic made a loud snore, then. It cut her off as she said 'useless'.
She turned to see his head straight up at the ceiling, his mouth open wide,... "Ammmy…" He lightly spoke, as though asleep. "Ammmyyy…" His hand acted as though reaching for her hand, but it was already there…
That's when she noticed, her grip on his hand had slipped somewhat, and she held it tightly but gently once more.
Sonic's breathing went back to normal… and Amy smiled till her cheeks hurt.
"Oh, Sonic…" She giggled through her light tears and wiped them all away this time. "Even if I don't understand what strength I give you… Just knowing… that together, we're stronger? That's enough for me… Cause right now, you getting better is all I care about." She sighed and went back to the book.
She gasped when she looked at her hand and saw Sonic had tugged it closer.
"A-ah… Ow, ow, Sonic!" He was dragging her off the other couch. "Sonic! Ow! I'll fall!"
He started to turn, as though in his sleep, snoring again and making Amy stumble out of the couch as he wrapped her arm around his waist.
She pouted a cute blush, but then sighed, "I know you're not asleep, silly… Your actual snore is totally different." She gave in, moving her bandaged self to lift up his head and place him on her lap, patting his shoulder and humming a tune.
Sonic closed his mouth, the jig was up, and he just smiled as she tried to actually lull him to sleep.
Though he had to let go of her hand for her to do that, he reached under his body to get at the hand that was resting just by his neck… and she smiled at how sweet that was…
"... You are my strength, Sonic." She leaned down, continuing to hum.
When she had actually fallen to sleep, Sonic placed her laying on the couch he was momentarily on, replacing her, and before hopping to the other one, placed a hand on her head and lightly whispered, "You're more than my strength, Amy… You're my whole heart, entirely."
In the morning, Amy woke up to find Tails in a tissy, worried sick as Sonic had somehow miraculous snuck out of his workshop home and was nowhere to be found.
A moment of panic did course through Amy, before thinking to herself, '... If he's strong again, then I'll be strong too.' and went back to not worrying about him… resting… as she smiled at feeling secure again in that–as long as Sonic was up and about, she'd be pretty soon as well!
