Instincts Prompt from Tumblr!
(Adding as like a bonus prompt, it won't have anything to do with Season 2 lol)
sonicwind-01 asked:
Sooo, ever thought about a little prompt from your "Instincts" series? ;D
cutegirlmayra answered:
(x) – So, Sonicwind is referencing a AU sonamyshadsilv story I wrote many years ago. I plan to go back and edit it, then give it a season 2 :3
So~ This is good practice! haha XD
Basically, what you need to know, is that I'm not going to have them 'merge' with their instincts in this prompt. And I might bring Silver and Shadow in later just cause Sonicwind didn't specify what she wanted from this prompt xD
Also, also, this is important! The Sonic characters have something called 'Instincts' that ancient and is triggered during their mating seasons. (THERE IS NO MATING.) Ehem, but it causes their bodies to take over with their own wills. The characters are then locked in their minds unless able to 'merge' with their instincts. (meaning they share in one will) Instincts give incredible reflexes, strength, endurance, and amazing senses. Eggman originally tried to use Instincts to his advantage, because of how powerful it makes the one subjected to it.
In this Prompt, I will mostly be doing the animalist behaviors of the Instincts of Sonic and Amy, maybe the other two as well. This means that Amy and Sonic are locked inside their minds, usually arguing to persuade their instincts not to do something that makes the characters uncomfortable. (you can imagine…) The instincts ARE THEM but at the same time, aren't. It's complex and I ask you to read to learn more, but basically, it's a will to their bodies, so it's not like two people inside one body. It's more like body verses intelligence, or nature vs. nuture (as someone once told me? Eh?) anyway, enjoy xD
Okay, enough explaining the weird, here we go!
Prompt:
Both in Instinct form, Instinct Amy happily dipped her nose, curiously, to the ground where a butterfly lay dormant. With it's wings lightly flapping, she eyed it as she placed her muzzle to the ground, smelling the sweet scent of Sonic and the other hedgehogs nearby, but mostly preoccupied with this other creature…
The butterfly softly began to paw it's leg out on the blade of grass, moving a bit before Instinct Amy's eyes widened at the moment.
She then nipped at it, but only with a slight huff and faint bark, as it flew off and she happily chased it on all fours.
She tripped a time or two but kept at it, jumping up in the air to try and catch it as she nipped, huffing in her joy and spinning around as it landed on a tree branch.
Far from her reach, it seemed content.
Sonic, also in Instinct form, was mostly being territorial as Instinct Amy played, looking around and scanning for any unfamiliar scents.
Especially a foreign smell… like a roaming male.
He was also bent down and balancing himself with his arms in the front of himself, trying to hear for Shadow or Silver in the distance.
This was a usual routine. If Amy was triggered into Instincts, the three usually were as well, and they just listened to their 'Others' as they told them to guard her.
Protection… protection… protection…
Instinct Sonic was growing bored of this, as he growled to the side of his mouth.
'Don't get any funny ideas…' Sonic cautioned his instinct form, feeling him grow a little anxious.
Instinct Sonic looked up, hearing the thought from his 'Other' and huffed from his nose, disregarding him.
I may do as I please.
'Not while I'm still apart of you.' Sonic threatened back.
Instinct Sonic, if he could laugh, would have. But being an animal, he just sat down, raised a foot up, and scratched behind his ears.
Suddenly, Instinct Amy squeaked, and he quickly responded as his body tensed up; jumping up onto all fours and turning back to her.
Amy!
Instinct Sonic ran to her, but she had just jumped and hurt herself coming down a bit, landing on her side.
I'm fine.
She licked her hurt paw, but that didn't really do anything for the pain.
Just was startled.
Still fairly pumped up from her squeak, having adrenaline still rapidly moving around him, since a female's squeak was a powerful thing to a male hedgehog, he just kept pacing around her.
Back and forth, huffing and chuffing as he communicated to her in an ancient language only hedgehogs could really pick up on.
He ducked his head down, still concerned about his female, before looking around for any more potential threats.
'Calm down. She's fine.' Sonic, not liking his will being taken from him, harshly critiqued from within.
Quiet you.
Instinct Sonic growled, turning away and coming back to her, sniffing to make sure she wasn't bleeding.
You sure you're alright?
I'm with you, aren't I? Alpha?
She playfully leaned up and nipped at his nose, but he pulled away quickly.
She clearly wanted to play as she ran off, dusting the dirt behind her to spray up at him, making him shake his head.
He sneezed, lifting a paw up before she huffed as if laughing and continued to race away.
Then, darting at him, she would nip and run, trying to get him to play with her.
Her natural behavior got him excited, as he lowered himself to wait for her to come back and paw at her, but his head started to hurt from Sonic trying to 'control' him.
'This isn't a game! You're here to protect her!'
She's my female. I can do as I please!
'You'll only hurt her!'
I'll only be hurting the so-called 'feelings' of your female.
Instinct Sonic was referring to regular Amy, who was still trapped inside her Instinct form.
Instinct Amy danced around, getting dizzy, before falling over.
'You're being kinda silly…' Amy spoke from within her mind.
Kicking her legs and arms up like an animal trying to roll to it's side, Instinct Amy finally got herself re-positioned correctly.
She snuffed out some grass from her nose, rubbing her wrist on it.
She then looked to Instinct Sonic, seeing his quills bristle up as he shook his head to the ground.
…They must be arguing…
She bent her ears back.
Why is his 'other' so cruel to him?
'He's just trying to keep himself under control…' Amy replied, but her voice seemed to fall in sadness. 'He doesn't trust himself… not like how I trust you.'
Amy had tried to befriend her instincts, doing well to teach her that something called 'marriage' was important. An eternal bond that couldn't be broken. To an instinct, that sounded very assuring and provided safety for the future litters.
I want him to play with me.
Instinct Amy lowered her head, growling a bit.
'Easy now… don't make Sonic get mad at me for not keeping you tame!' Amy worriedly tried to sooth her playful Instincts.
One ear flopped up, as a grin came on Instincts Amy's face.
My Alpha shall know my bond is still strong! Even with his 'other' pestering him about this and that!
She lifted her head up, and bounded off towards him.
'W-wa-wait, wait! What do you mean, 'still strong'..!?' Amy flipped out from inside her, but she ignored her 'other' and continued on.
Coming close to her poor, torned Alpha, she ruffled her quills near his face, sending her scent off as it overpowered him and left him unable to connect well with his 'other'.
What are you doing?
Instinct Sonic looked puzzled, but the aroma brought him closer to her.
You're setting yourself up for a trap…
He leaned in towards her, rubbing his own scent to her head, getting the scents under his cheek onto her as she nuzzled back.
I'm making your 'other' jealous!
She huffed, finding it appealing to have him closer.
Her tail wagged as Instinct Sonic noticed the moment, but Amy inside scolded her instincts.
'Don't try and be cute! Ah!' she mentally covered her face, not wanting to see how awfully embarrassing that was.
Heh. You're a Beta after my own heart.
Instinct Sonic teased, turning back to her and pushed her up, so she fell on her stomach, and laid down beside her, biting a quill and pulling it to have her swat at the air.
She struggled in play fighting for a moment, but he let her go and smiled down to her.
If you let me claim you already,… you'd be assured as Alpha Female. And my mate.
She tilted her head at the suggestion, knowing he was fully rebelling by saying something like that to her.
She looked away, playing coy.
Well… I want our bond to be forever. I'm waiting for that marriage thing.
She yipped.
He growled at her response, growing impatient as he bent down by her neck.
You're too obsessed and concerned with 'Other's matters…
He then tried to tempt her by lightly kissing her chin.
That's the only 'other' thing I like to indulge in.
He teased.
'Watch it...'
Suddenly, Instinct Sonic leaned up, feeling a headache as Sonic fought back against his rebelling.
He huffed and backed away from her, growing frustrated and irritable at Sonic always pushing him back. Holding him back…
Is she not your mate too?!
Instinct Sonic barked up at his 'other'.
Why must you persist in keeping me from her!?
Instinct Amy got up, worried at his internal struggles before looking over and seeing Instinct Shadow suddenly charge the scene.
He rammed into Instinct Sonic, while he was still preoccupied with the battle inside him, and seemed to be playing a dominance game.
He bit down hard on his ear and yanked his head down, but Sonic didn't whimper or whine, just fought back and hit him off him.
You were trying to claim her!
Instinct Shadow growled, ready for another fight, bending himself down and gripping the earth under his hands.
Instinct Sonic growled a warning, although they were co-dominating, it didn't mean that he didn't see himself as the true Alpha of the pack.
Amy's my mate… You're only here as an added protection.
She's not meant to be claimed! You heard your 'other'. Mine on the other hand wouldn't be able to stop me…
Instinct Shadow turned back to Amy, who submissively moved back, her ears bent and withdrew from the scene.
You wouldn't dare…
I can defy you… I'll defy all who keep me from what I desire.
As Instinct Sonic approached to content more with him, Instinct Shadow huffed in amusement, glaring…
But he heard Amy squeak, calling off the battle for a true Alpha Male, and the two stepped down…
With Amy as the only female, they had to give in to her wishes… if they wanted her… anyway.
She was Alpha Female by default.
Don't worry. I wouldn't disappoint our Alpha Female by going against her wishes… but you on the other hand…
As he moved to depart, he swiped a threatening and aggressive chomp at Instinct Sonic's face, having him flinch away a moment to dodge, but his eyes still glared in hostility.
I could kill you in an instant.
Enough!
Instinct Amy barked.
He turned around to her, leaning his head behind her her back to take in her scent, then licking her back to show he meant no harm, and continued to walk off.
I only was defending you… Amy.
He is my true Alpha. I cannot mate with another. It will be so when marriage is complete.
Instinct Amy sincerely turned, showing him she cared but that she was to be Instinct Sonic's mate, as her 'other' explained that once you go through this thing called 'marriage' you can't be with anyone else.
I don't indulge in the customs of our 'others'… if you are in heat… and if he's not there to defend you..
He shifted his head back, and narrowed his eyes.
You're mine.
Instinct Sonic spiked up his quills and raised his chest, another sign of dominance.
Get back to your protection route.
Heh. I don't obey by your intimidation.
He looked to Instinct Amy.
She nodded.
He went off to scout and continue to secure the territory.
Instinct Silver poked his head out of the bush.
What's going on?
He cooed, but Amy just ran over to him, comforting him with a nudge against his head and rubbing her scent on him as well.
It's nothing. The Alphas were fighting again.
Again..?
Instinct Silver looked up, seeing the two depart ways.
He looked worried.
What if you are claimed? Against your wishes?
He bent his ears back and looked carefully back to her.
Our 'other's would be very upset.
Like a mother, she nibbled at his ear and cleaned him slightly behind it.
Pay them no mind. I still have my bonds. As long as you all our under my pack, there shall be no disorder.
Instinct Silver lowered his head submissively, letting her mother him before he looked down, almost afraid to say what he wanted too.
What if… you married me?
He huffed softly.
You?
She coughed, stepping away from the absurdity.
You're just a hoglet!
He frowned, his ears shifting around at that insult.
I have been triggered late… and my instincts not as strong as the Alphas but-!
He rose up, leaning closer to her face.
I want to claim you… if you'll have me.
S…Silver?
There was a loud growl, before Instinct Shadow pounced and threatened Silver away, him submitting as he ran and Shadow took him down to disipline him.
For anyone other than an Alpha to attempt even saying such a thing was betrayal, so Instinct Amy had to let Instinct Shadow do his job.
Even if that meant picking on Instinct Silver a bit…
That's enough!
She barked, and he got off, looking back at her and then moving away.
She ran through the bush to Instinct Silver, licking some of where Shadow bit down on him.
Don't be silly. I adopted you into this pack. Be still, baby.
I am not a baby…
Silver growled lightly, but whimpered as it hurt to feel her press against his wounds.
You are white, and have a very faint smell. You are baby.
She lovingly nudged.
My baby!
She laid over him like a protective mom, humming a purr as he had to submit and let her try and sooth him to sleep, like a mother would do with her young.
However…
Instinct Sonic bit her neck and threw her off of him, before glaring to Instinct Silver, and telling him to move on.
He nudged her back to the field.
He may be a runt, but he's no child.
He scolded her.
She jumped up on him, annoyed but playful at his statement.
And you may be Alpha, but I do not yield.
She teased, licking his nose as he shook his head, before gently leaning forward and licking her cheek.
…And I.. Am your mate.
One day.
Amy…
Haha! I am your 'promised' mate!
….Then… I shall wait. But you truly are my Beta who bares her fangs!
He nipped at her to get off and they took off down the field, tackling and playing in the meadow as Instinct Silver and Instinct Shadow kept up their rounds around their territory…
(I know it's weird, but bear with me, it's a good story xD)
anonymous asked:
What of only male hedgehogs get the instinks triggers? And this just leaves Amy confused what's going on with sonic.
Cutegirlmayra:
LOLOLOLOLOL
Poor Amy XD
(This prompt request is based on my fanfiction I'm planning to re-edit known as Instincts on Fanfiction. It's old and needs some work done on it xD Then I'll be making season 2 :) )
The problem is… without Amy going into 'heat' and having her smell exposed there wouldn't really be a 'trigger'. The squeak is also done through instincts along with the natural smell.
She would definitely be weirded out by his animistic advances, considering he would be pulled towards the alluring smell and his body would start shifting into Instincts without him knowing it until he was already trapped in his mind's eye.
Then, knowing Sonic, he would fight to reclaim himself, but his instincts would just be trying to flatter up Amy.
But again, without Amy's instincts, Sonic's instincts wouldn't have fallen for her anyway. How would he communicate? Amy would see his eyes shift but wouldn't understand what that meant either unless Tails explained it but then Amy wouldn't be in love with his Instincts and try and help Tails to control them too.
It would definitely be a new story :)
So I'll do a little ditty in this regards- Amy and Tails have noticed a 'shift' in Sonic's behaviors. During April (hedgehog mating season. where Instincts are more easily triggered) Sonic disappears and stays as far away from everyone and humanity as much as possible. However.. Amy, being worried about him, goes out to try and find him.
Miraculously, as usual, she does! Though… was that really a good thing..?
Prompt:
"Sonic!"
"Amy… you can't be here… It's not safe here." Sonic slowly started stepping back, his face looking as though he was fighting something, and losing…
His face was pulled back, looking worried and a bit faint.
His ears drew back, something Amy hadn't see before.
"Sonic..?" She came more towards him. "What's wrong? You look like your about to fall over…" She leaned down, holding a feminine hand upwards before her quills draped over her cheeks…
This swishing motion sent her scent hovering through the air, spreading out, till it reached Sonic's nose…
His eyes widened, clenching his teeth as he struggled to not breath.
"…Sonic… you're scaring me…" Amy straightened herself out, holding her hands together. "Me and Tails are awfully worried about you… you've been gone for so long… it's making us fear that something really bad is happening to you."
She stepped forward, a branch cracking under her weight.
"Stop!" Sonic clutched his head, feeling the rushing of adrenaline and the ever strong pull of letting the beast out, of letting his Instincts take over and move closer to Amy…
Her smell… most girls didn't trigger his instincts, but recently, he had been having dinner with her and moved to try and smell the food.
But it wasn't the food that was drawing him in, wetting an appetite he hadn't realized before.
Ever since his nose drifted to her, he had been distant ever since, warning Tails not to say a word, since Females don't have instincts anymore. Tails said they were too 'evolved' now, but that males, if the female's scent was strong enough to pull it out, could still trigger and unleash the instinct form.
In fear of that happening, his will being subjected to his more primal, inner being; he had avoided her at all cost during this time of year…
When her alluring scent… was at it's strongest.
Most months, she was just fine. And therefore, so was he.
But come around April…
"Sonic!" Amy lunged foward, seeing him fall to his hands and knees, gripping the ground as if for dear life, squinting his eyes shut as his body twitched.
"You shouldn't have come here…" he mumbled, faintly, as Amy's eyes scanned his trembling being to try and find a clue, a trace of help for her to intervene and soothe him with.
She lightly placed a hand to his back, but with instincts on the verge of emerging, his eyes shot open at the sensation of touch.
In Instinct form, he was told everything would be heightened. Sense, touch, smell… everything…
Even strength.
He found himself slowly losing grip of reality and even his own fear subsided as he had to breath.
With her so close, her scent engulfed him, and slowly his power to control what was happening began to slip…
He leaned up, to the crook of her neck, and breathed in the heavenly aroma that drove his being into a wild frenzy of desire…
His eyes blinked softly down, before rising as his pupil's had shifted to a cat's diamond eye…
Instincts / (– claw marks, a nod to my original story)
Instinct Sonic's eyes dilated a few times, showing his immense interest in this new scent, but also looking around at himself.
It was the first time he was fully alive, fully present. Since his other had always shunned him away and pushed him down from ever being exposed to the sensation of being free for a change.
He examined his surroundings, no foreign scents to claim the terrain…
He better act fast.
He suddenly darted passed her, rubbing the under part of his scent gland, now fully active from the release of Instinct Sonic, over trees and bushes, darting around to claim his territory.
And the female present…
Amy turned around, looking confused. She got up a bit before he darted back to her, nipping annoyingly at her quills to pull her down so he could smell behind her quills again.
"Ahh!" Amy blushed, being pulled down so… violently? It wasn't aggressive, no… it was just…
"W-what are you-!?" she pushed away a minute, more spooked than afraid though, as Instinct Sonic pushed his head further into the back behind her head.
Her scent glands weren't strong…. but her scent on the other hand…
He then took his muzzle out from under there and shook to get the spiky quills out of his face, looking dead into her eyes.
She had closed her eyes in shock, before blinking them open and showing her withdrawn expression, before awing the new shape of his pupil in his eyes..
"What…" she reached a hand up, not caring that he was over her at the moment but still in a bit of shock. "What happened to your eyes..?"
Her touch sent a signal that excited his whole being into a feeling of pleasure.
He lowered his eyes and rubbed his scent gland on it, enjoying the touch.
She'll do. He declared to himself, looking down at her again, before lowering his chin to her.
He waited for her to respond, but because Amy didn't have any instincts, too evolved for that matter, he rose it back up and looked perplexed.
She wasn't acting like an animal at all.
'Let me out of here!' Sonic's true voice, and real self, seemed to bang a mental headache into Instinct Sonic.
He leaned away, shaking his head.
'I swear, if you do anything to Amy, I'll-!'
He had no control over his body, was just stuck as if an annoying spectator to Instinct Sonic.
He huffed, not liking his 'other's voice' within his head.
Silent, please. I'm claiming us a female.
Instinct Sonic sent a snarky response back through his thoughts, and if he wasn't an animal, he probably would have chuckled too.
'Claiming..? What's that? Amy's not someone you can just take!' Sonic continued to fight and struggle, his voice hounding on Instinct Sonic as he strained his head down, and started to crawl off and away from Amy.
Annoying. You're so annoying!
Instinct Sonic then looked up at the female.
Amy? she calls herself… Amy? And I am..?
'You're nothing! Just something I have to deal with later!' Sonic threatened, trying to get himself free.
Instinct Sonic thrashed his head around, his other was strong…
Amy slowly got up, still breathing quietly but profoundly.
What on earth was going on with Sonic..?
Who is Amy to you? Instinct Sonic turned his head, as if figuratively speaking to his Other within his mind…
'Gah! Urffh! … ha… she's my friend.' Sonic was growing exhausted, as Instinct Sonic could feel that…
Friend?
Suddenly, Instinct Sonic moved around Amy, circling her as she started to get up.
He kept himself low to the ground, an indication that he wanted her, but she was moving as if about to leave, threatening his authority over the area as it's new alpha.
Why isn't she respecting me? What an odd female… it's like she can't communicate or something. Is she defective?
'What!? No! Amy doesn't have any idea who or what you are!' Sonic countered from within, but this time, Instinct Sonic listened. 'She's not an animal! You are!'
She's not-?… Ah, she's still an Other.
Instinct Sonic rose up, realizing his normal tactics of what his 'body' told him to do, wouldn't work with her.
A Hedgehog Female is still a Hedgehog Female… I have my ways.
Again, if he wasn't an animal, he would have smirked at the challenge.
She kicked away but he came closer, trying to look more submissive to be able to be granted closer access to her.
She's a stubborn one, just like the rest of them before they're claimed. Instinct Sonic commented, seeing that her actions weren't uncommon though.
'She's backing away not to reject you, but because she's afraid! Leave her alone!'
Instinct Sonic lightly moved to try and rub her foot with his scent, showing no harm or ill-intent, but she pulled it away, making him growl slightly at her rudeness.
She doesn't even want to become friends. I thought you said she was one to you, already? Instinct Sonic couldn't understand Others culture. He only knew his own, which was an ancient culture long since forgotten in the Hedgehog spieces.
Sooner or later, he knew that him and his Other would merge, their will's syncing into one accord. Where Sonic would have better control over his Instincts, and his Instincts would still empower him.
But for now, he was a still a embodiment of Sonic's natural desire, senses, reflexes… basically…
His body.
'I mean it! Leave her alone!'
I like this Female. She's coming to apologize.
Amy lifted a hand out, still spooked but willing to try and understand what was happening.
Her hand gently moved forward, twitching a little as she saw him shift and move closer.
He let her hand rest on his forehead, showing in Hedgehog language- trust.
See…? I only want to get to know you… Protect you in my territory. Instinct Sonic kept his head low, giving her a sense of security, or at least, that what it should have showed.
If she could read into it, she would have realized that him exposing his belly later on was a form of kinship, showing he meant her no ill-will and also that his intention was to be closer to her.
She didn't understand him rolling over but let out a scoff, more so to let out the tension than being sparked into humor by it.
"What on… earth are you… doing, Sonic?" she breathed out, a nervous grin on her face, as he continued to rub his back against the ground. "You're acting like a dog." she stated, as he turned to look up at her from a curved tilt of his lowered body.
What is she saying? I can't understand her strange noises, but I hear Sonic a lot.
'She's comparing you to a dog!' Sonic seemed frustrated, 'Great, there goes my carefully constructed image…'
Image? Instinct Sonic tilted a ear up and one down, showing his curiosity in these strange words.
Well, now I'm bored.
He flipped around, and attempted once again to draw closer to Amy.
"Ah!" She moved away, but he swiftly got over her again, making her eyes widened as he came down lower, as if lay down.
"What… what are you..!? Sonic, get off of me!" she pushed, he was amazed by her strength.
Strong female. Instinct Sonic amused. Her young will be quite formidable at survival.
'Young!? You leave her alone!'
Suddenly, as Instinct Sonic went in to try and seduce her neck, which would keep her on her stomach instead of what he was expecting her to do; which would be to flip around and spike him as she curled into a ball, starting the courtship process…
However…
"BACK! Back, I say!"
Instinct Sonic whimpered and cried out in pain as he scampered away, before turning back, hobbling on an arm and his legs because his shoulder was stabbed with something hot and stingy.
What was that?!
He growled, turning and spiking his quills up threateningly.
A predator had attacked him! Trying to steal or eat his female!
'Or a taser to get you to stop assaulting my friend!' Sonic seemed to sarcastically spit out from his mind.
I was properly going to mate with her! There wasn't any harm in any of my intentions! Instinct Sonic snapped back.
'That sounds like harm to me!'
Then you are selfish. How do you expect to grow in strength and power without loyal females? Especially an Alpha!
'FEMALES!? You mean.. you're not saying.. Ah crap.' Sonic realized then,…
Hedgehogs don't mate for life.
"Stay back, Amy! I should have told you sooner!"
"Tails!?"
Amy got up, as Tails held out the taser, it's electrical shocks zapping out and spooking Instinct Sonic as he snarled at it.
He barked, a warning for the fox to scram.
"N-now… I know that in your mind… right now.. you see me as a timeless enemy…" Tails tried to talk the out of control hedgehog down, but also kept thinking that Sonic could come back if he just stayed away from Amy's scent long enough.
Amy slightly hid behind Tails, but was confused on what he was saying and why he seemed to know what was going on.
"But I assure you… in this modern age and time… I'm very much a recent ally." He nodded, terrified the animal would come at him.
Which…
Instinct Sonic leaned back, getting ready to spring.
"Run!" Tails flew up, twirling his tails and gripping Amy bridal style as he soared up.
Instinct Sonic leaped up and clawed the air, but came back down, running along after them.
"Wait, what happened to Sonic? Why is he not using his super speed? Why is he on all FOURS!" Amy kept asking questions, as Tails just looked super apologetic.
"Alright, alright. I promised I wouldn't tell you but this seems important!" Tails flew up to a tree, holding Amy steady as the two looked down.
Instinct Sonic growled, annoyed, as he paced the tree.
The two breathed deeply, before Tails finally sighed, trying to relax a little now that they were safe.
"He's shifted into his Instinct form. Let me explain. In Instincts, it's just your body taking over. It's not necessarily a split personality, but your inner animal coming through."
Instinct Sonic jumped up the tree, before falling down and sliding since his nails weren't long or sharp enough through the gloves, and pounced back down, shaking his head, huffing in frustration.
He moved swiftly in a circle around the tree, wanting Amy now more than ever.
"Those grunts… it's communicating." Tails pulled out his MilesElectric.
"Communicating!? You're saying… Sonic turned into a… a …"
"An ancient, primal Hedgehog. Correct. But he's still there. You're more advanced in that females evolve faster than most males. If a scent is strong enough, it will trigger this until the two merge and are in sync. Then instinct won't have a say in the matter, it will just be Sonic. But look!" Tails squinted his eyes, trying to explain but also work at the same time.
"The screen says… if that fox eats her, I'll rip out the flesh of his throat…" Tails gulped, rubbing lightly along his throat light, turning pale.
"Wait, let me see that." Amy took the device, and then looked to Tails. "Can you reverse this? Maybe I can communicate with him."
"Grunts are tough to translate, but he… he's um… you shouldn't try and do ANYTHING with him." Tails didn't know how to explain the REAL predicament at this current time.
He just hoped to dissuade her.
"Really, I'm sure he'll shift back once your scents far enough."
"I'm going down." She started to climb down.
"NO! WAIT!" Out of love for his friend, he tried to frantically reach down to her, but she slid faster than he could, with the device in hand.
"AMY…!" Tails let out a high-pitch sound of worry, his eyebrows back in panic and his hands reaching up to pull his ears down.
"Please, Chaos. Don't let him hurt her. I don't know if I can keep her safe from a doubly-powerful Sonic right now!" he nervously bit at his gloved thumbs. "Be careful, Amy! He's… well, he's-"
"Wild, got it." And nodded up to him, confident, as Tails covered his face.
"I was gonna say 'into you' but…" he lightly mumbled.
Amy moved towards Instinct Sonic, who frantically started sniffing her all around, trying to make sure she wasn't hurt.
He let out a squeak, as Amy was shocked Sonic could even do that, and looked at the screen.
You're alive! You're alive!
"The screen… it's saying… Aww, of course I'm okay, silly! It's Tails!" Amy held the device close and smiled down to him. "Now… let's see…" she tried to figure out how to speak back with the device, but Instinct Sonic started tugging on her dress, not liking her standing on only two legs.
It wasn't natural to him, and he let dress go to peer up at her, shifting his eyes down to the ground to show her that he was upset by her 'observation' pose.
In hedgehog language, to stand on two feet meant to be searching for potential threats, because he was trying to 'woo' her so to speak, he wanted her to feel safe enough to breed with him…
"Haha, aren't you needy." Amy sat down, reaching to pet his head as he didn't understand the custom she was doing.
Though it felt amazing… he wondering what she was trying to communicate.
What does this mean? In your lanuage?
'It means sit, boy. Don't move.' Sonic lied, sounding frustrated and overly annoyed he couldn't do anything about what was happening.
Instinct Sonic, fairly innocent at just being released into the world, sat down and let her scratch his forehead and ears.
Is that a good thing?
'Shut up…'
"Ah, ha! Got it!" Amy clicked the button, and turned the screen to Instinct Sonic.
An electric simulation of grunts was heard, as Instinct Sonic's ears perked, and he sniffed the screen.
The device stated, I want you to return to normal Sonic, please.
He huffed, biting at the device.
I am Sonic! he growled.
Amy played tug-a-war a moment with the device before falling back down, turning on her stomach to try and see what the device said.
"What? You are not!" She angrily disagreed, before feeling his breath on her back…
Her quills shook unsteadily and she turned around, seeing him about to lick her and shoving his head away.
"EW! Quit it!" she hollered out, then looked up to Tails. "What's wrong with him!? It's like he's trying to mount me or some-"
Her eyes suddenly widened.
"TAAAAILLSS!"
He looked even more apologetic, sweat dropping and lightly chuckling.
"Surprise..? You're the only female around!"
"YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME!" Amy struggled to speak to him while also getting the feisty and apparently 'turned on' hedgehog off of her!
"IS THIS WHAT YOU MEANT BY- ANIMAL!?"
"…Yes." Tails fiddled with his fingers, before dropping them and his head down, showing how embarrassed he was at not being able to fully communicate it.
Sonic, within himself, suddenly had conjured enough strength, Amy's scent fading enough so through the increase of wind that he burst from his sub-conscious- gaining control over his body once more.
"AH!" He stopped fighting Amy, looking down in terror as he realized he had won the war.
His hands were to the side of himself, and Amy blinked, before he flung himself off of her and started dashing away.
"Wait..!" Amy reached a hand out, but Tails jumped down, sparking the taser around with his eyes closed, clutching it in one hand.
"GO-GO-GO!" Tails frantically tried to be a hero, but Amy stopped his wild flailing to show that Sonic had left.
"I think he came back to his old self, I need to talk to him!"
"Are you crazy!?" Tails looked shocked, "He almost-!"
"I would have been fine, Tails! He only wishes he could win against me in wrestling. But I have to let him know it's okay! It wasn't him!"
"Amy-!" Tails gripped her arm, and pulled her back to him. "It was him."
He held her directly in front of him, making her stop a moment, remembering what Instinct Sonic had said on the device's translator.
"…Amy…" Tails looked like he was having a hard time explaining this, and took a deep breath. Calming himself down, he continued, opening his eyes.
"Sonic was triggered because he liked your scent. He likes… well,… he's naturally attracted to you, Amy. Instincts only heightens that. I'm sure he's feeling guilty and ashamed right now that he couldn't fight off his Instincts as soon as he had hoped… but for now, staying away from you until your natural scent goes down is probably for the best." He patted her shoulders, seeing her shocked expression, and realizing what he was saying.
"When April rolls over, and you smell normal again," He nodded his head and gave her a funny look, only trying to play around and lighten the mood a moment. "Then you two can talk about this. Until then, I think it's best to leave him with some alone time. Agreed?"
Amy's mouth dropped, "He likes me?"
Tails sucked in his lips.
"I never said that."
"You were about too." Amy's face suddenly lit up, her hands covering her mouth. "And you just said he's naturally in to me. Which is why his Instinct also was trying to get cocky with me, right?"
"Let's not use that terminology."
"Ah! He loves me!" Amy jumped for joy, kicking her feet up and holding her arms out wide. "Yes! I knew it!"
"Is that really all you're getting out of this?" Tails spread his arms out, before rolling his eyes as he leaned forward. "Sheesh. Unbelievable."
Tails flew her home… just to be safe.
