Sonic IRL 3
United We Stand
But Without You We Fall
By: Cutegirlmayra( It's been a very long time since I've written anything…. And that's mostly because I've been pretty sick and in pain for quite some time. I'm having a lot of bad health start happening in my family, so it's been hard to try and do anything lately… Today I told myself I needed to write for you guys, because I know how it feels to be left waiting xD lol. I know it's not Instincts… but I'll try and get back to that when I feel more capable to do so. Please enjoy! : ) I hope you all cry. Also, found out Sega is not stationed in Chicago T-T My bad, it's in San Francisco.. just ignore the locations of old! Lol. P.S: I did go back and edit this XP be grateful, it STUNK! lol)
"Sir! Sir!" A man ran down the hallway, dodging someone from Virtua fighter and more characters from different SEGA games as he tried to push himself down the crowded corridor. "If I could just-!" he finally just shoved the Monkey on his ball out of the way, making the monkey mad and throw a banana he was eating at him, causing him to look disgusted as he slowly took the banana off his face, and whipped it quickly out of his hands and to the ground.
Hatsune Miku tripped over the banana, causing a ton of assistants to rush over to her and try their best to make sure she wasn't hurt.
"Do you have any idea what you could of done!? She's about to be kick-started into launch in-" a man came roaring toward the man with a script in his hand, but the man silenced him quickly by placing both hands over his mouth.
"The Japanese district is on the phone! And they've requested a Sonic meeting!"
"…NOW?!" the man threw the other man's hands down from his mouth, and looked around. "We're in a complete MESS here! We can't have a bunch of different nationalities of Sonic running amok! Tell them we need to postpone, tell them-!"
"I'm here!" Sonic jumped over the crowd, standing on one of the Crazy Taxi cars in the middle of the SEGA game character crowd, all trying to get into their own assigned building sections but spring cleaning has moved them all out, making them eager to go back and run around.
"HOW DID THE TAXI GET IN HERE?! Aren't they limited to the parking lot?!"
"Hello?" Sonic moved his arms out wide, still keeping them gently bent as he seemed to think he was more important than the dumb taxi below him.
"Oh, dear…" The man looked up to Sonic as the other began to sweat nervously. "Cooper.. please tell me that's our Sonic? From America?" He didn't even bother looking at Cooper's face.
"Actually sir,…" Cooper gulped. "It's the Jap-"
"DEAR SONIC! We're SOOOO glad you could make it!" The demeanor of the man completely changed in a blink of an eye. "I do apologize for the traffic jam. We just finished cleaning the sections of Sega of America after all! Haha!" he placed his hands together and slightly rubbed them together, holding them, as if it was for comfort and making a good impression.
"No sweat, dude." The Japanese Sonic, also referred to as The Original, gave him a light smile and began to spin dash and bounce over the other characters, while they all responded sourly to his 'head jumping' technique of getting over them.
"I believe you wanted a…." the man gulped. "Meeting?" he looked to Cooper.
"That's right! I've already recruited all my other copies. I just need good ol'America." He patted the man's arm, since he couldn't really reach his back, and looked around. "Where is my favorite son?" he teased, placing his hands on his hips and looking back to the two men.
"Uhh…." The men looked to each other, as Cooper sighed and decided to respond. "He's usually on 'vacation' when spring cleaning comes along…."
"He's what?"
On the San Francisco Bridge
Sonic lounged on the very tip of The San Francisco Bridge with dark shaded sunglasses on while one leg was kicked over the other, both bent up, and his arms relaxing comfortably under his head.
Suddenly, another blue streak passed on the other side of him, and the wind sped by him, making him lean up and blink, as the glasses lowered slightly from his face. "Could of sworn…" He muttered, looking over to the other side, and suspicion made his eyes search back and forth, before putting his sunglasses back on and leaning back. "Hmph. Oh well." He smiled and began to chill again until another Sonic graced the scene.
Having his hands on his hips, and slightly tapping his fingers up and down to show he was waiting for Sonic to notice him, he rolled his eyes.
"Typical me. Not evening bothering to keep his guard up when he knows something's up."
"As the fastest thing alive, I could of just dodged anything anyone sent my way anyway. But I thought I'd let you catch me, just cause your so likable." Sonic joked back, and lifted one side of his sunglasses up, angling them, and smiling a charming grin.
American Sonic got up and the two shared a bro-hug, "Long time no see!"
"Really though! Ever since that Amy incident." He scratched behind his head, as American Sonic 'Eugh'd and looked behind him, showing his dislike of that incident too.
"I hope the mouth-wash worked."
"Barely. I barely even kissed her and I STILL can taste strawberry on my lips. PEH-PEH!" He spit in disgust and wiped his mouth.
"Think she'll ever let it go?" American Sonic raised an eyebrow.
"Heh… her first kiss? I only did it to get out, but she's convinced I fell for her scheme and am madly in love with her, and now I'm just 'playing her off' like I didn't like it." Japanese Sonic face palmed, embarrassed, frustrated, and annoyed by her response to the truth.
"Haha! I'm just happy I'm not in your shoes!" American Sonic patted his shoulder, trying for moral support, though it didn't seem to help. "My Amy would of planned the wedding day!"
"June 8th." Japanese Sonic slouched, letting his arms drape forward and down as his face was one that showed how fed up he was with life.
"….Really? And you didn't invite me?!" American Sonic joked, and then leaned back and started laughing his head off.
Japanese Sonic rolled his eyes slowly up to Sonic, sighed and closed his eyes, before straightening himself out. "Luckily, I dodged it beautifully. I got Tails to dress up as me and when Amy figured it out, by then, I was half way out of Tokyo!"
The two Sonic's shared another laugh as they returned to Sega of America's headquarters, hoping the meeting could start soon.
"What's this sudden meeting about?" asked American Sonic. "Other nation's Amys haven't been acting up or anything… right?" he seemed unsure but thinking maybe that really was the case. "I mean… could it be an error in data or..?"
"You know very well if it was an error in code she'd be dying and they'd have to create a new Amy based on back-up coding right?" Japanese Sonic seemed to take that as an insult, not treating a Game Character's death and rebirth very likely. "Their never quite the same, only on-screen… and half their memory is gone."
"I..I know that!" Sonic felt bad suggesting that could be it, and looked away. "I heard it's really tough on game characters… I heard Link and Zelda have to be rebooted often, not from errors in code, but just because they toss the old base out and create a completely new one."
"That's a rumor. They keep the bases, they just store them away. I haven't seen the old Ocarina team for many, many years…" Japanese Sonic admitted, as they entered the SEGA building. "But besides all of that, the meeting is normal, and we just forgot it was today. I, however, have men who are hired to remember for me when things are needed to happen." He smiled, trying to insult America's Sonic.
"Hey! I have a pretty organized place too!"
"Get moving Dead, come on!" A herd of Zombies from House of the Dead moaned and groaned by the two hedgehogs, as more and more traffic jam started happening, even in the main domed hall of Sega of America.
Japanese Sonic casually lowered his eyelids and gently rolled his eyes to his counterpart. "Oh yes, so organized and-" A zombie barfed, leaving a icky and yucky mess on the floor a couple feet away from the Sonics. "Neat."
American Sonic glared at his Original as suddenly from the top floor you could hear two shouted, "SISTER!". The boys looked up, as the camera panned upward to show the two Amys embracing.
"I can't believe your back! I missed you so much!" American Amy lifted Japanese Amy up and spun her around.
"Haha! Easy there! Of course I'm back, silly!" when she was put down, she smiled and the two let each other go with giggles. "Sonic said a meeting was to be held between all the nations."
"Here?"
"Eh-hmm." Japanese Amy nodded.
"Oh dear!"
"What's wrong?" She looked worried.
"I haven't scheduled a room, ordered the tea,… I don't even have a topic to discuss!"
As American Amy panicked, Japanese Amy just giggled and patted her shoulder. "There, there, now! Let me handle that." She winked. "After all, I am The Original, I might as well lead this year's meeting again."
"Yeah… but you do it every year… don't you ever want a break?" American Amy inquired.
"…Do you ever get tried of talking about Sonic?"
"No."
"Then what's the point of a break?"
"To breathe?" American Amy cheekily inquired.
"Haha! Good point."
"Anyway, I should probably find a room… but first!" She took Japanese Amy's hand.
"H-hey! What are you-?"
"Where's the ring?" American Amy moved her hand to the front and back, up and down, but couldn't find it. "Did you leave it behind?"
"Huh..?"
"I heard you and your Sonic we're getting married!" She placed her hands together and her eyes shined in chibi-wonder.
"Oh….um… that… that didn't work out…" Japanese Amy looked away, lowering her head, and then shaking her fist. "He tricked and played with my heart yet again! And I swore my revenge!"
"He-" before she could speak, a Japanese Tails lowered his head from the top floor.
"In all honesty, I didn't want to go along with it! I'm just glad the whole Sonic costume fell apart before the 'I do' came up… I swear! Sonic said he'd save me before then, but he didn't! I was so scared I was actually getting married…" Tails's eyes turned to chibi tears as American Tails also dropped his head down to the girls.
"I don't think what my other self did was right either, but you shouldn't plot revenge. You knew Sonic didn't want to marry you and you tried to marry him anyway! He was, of course, gonna plan an escape route."
"HE LEFT ME AT THE ALTER!" Amy roared, steam coming out of her nostrils.
"No, he tricked you at the alter." Japanese Tails corrected her, lifting a pointer finger up before Amy threw her hammer toward him,
"Ya-oh!" he dodged, before she threw yet another one at American Tails.
"Hey! What'd I do!?" American Tails hollered down after they both successfully dodged the hammer throws.
"Oh no." American Amy covered her mouth with both her hands, and then reached out to Japanese Amy. "I… I'm so sorry!"
Japanese Amy teared up, but quickly wiped it away, "It doesn't matter now! I'm going to get my revenge, and I think today's meeting will be just what I need to plot the perfect scheme! Whahahahahaha!" she threw her arms out and did an evil laugh, lifting her head up as to dramatize the evil action further.
"Uhh… well, if that's what you want…" American Amy had a sweat drop drip down the side of her head, but didn't say anything more.
The Next Day~
The Sonic Characters, mostly the main 4, arrived in America and were quickly shown their meeting room. From the five main headquarters around the world, after losing Australian and other European operations outside of the United Kingdom due to economic issues, there were only these five left.
However, even though some of the Sonics from around the world didn't have a headquarters of their very own, they came anyway to meet and discuss whatever it was they needed too.
Author's Note on some of the Laws in Sonic IRL
The main five, being Japanese Sonic from Ota, Tokyo in Japan; American Sonic from San Francisco, California (America); British Sonic from Brentford, Greater London (United Kingdom); Korean Sonic from Seoul, South Korea; Vancouver, Canada; and lastly, Russian Sonic from Moscow, Russia, are mostly the 'leaders' to the rest of the Sonics all around the world (Or distributed games). However, Japanese Sonic is 'Father' to all Sonics, since he was 'The Original' and all other Sonics are copies of himself, changed over time due to translations and other game franchises distributed in that other part of the world.
These five, having their own headquarters, have unique authority and power over the other Sonics, and even within the real and virtual world that is their domain. However, these powers are limited to SEGA grounds and/or technology, anywhere else and they can't be used.
An example of this power would be when Japanese Amy was able to download herself into a flashdrive. There are many mysteries to these strange 'Main Game' powers, but no one really knows the full extent, besides the 'leading' characters, of course!
However, The Original has even more power than 'Main Game' powers, but these are almost forbidden to use unless the situation calls for it. However it has to be a 'must use' moment, or the Original could lose script and code from within themselves, causing errors (This doesn't mean always, it's just a risk, a chance their taking to use it). If the Original is to die of 'Virtual Error Death', his backup may have lost 'The Original' powers.
End Note
(Statement: These powers may not be used in this One-shot, but for further reference, they may come up in other One-shots that I'd like to write)
The other Sonics that have arrived are representing different nationalities; there is the Spanish Sonic, French Sonic, Australian Sonic and lastly German Sonic. All other Sonics couldn't make it or might not have been able to find ways to make it. (Which would be a good thing because that'd be a lot of Sonics xD)
Now, based on the information given in the Author's Note, you may be wondering how the other Sonics, not having these 'Main Game' powers, were able to travel around the world to make it to this meeting, they usually go to another company that distributes SEGA games and use that way, but they can also visit one of the Main Five and ask for them to use their powers to send them where they need to go.
Now, moving on…~
As the Sonics all get into the room, Japanese Sonic makes a statement as he stands behind a podium for speaking and leans lazily on it. "Alright, turn your translators on so we don't have to deal with accents, other languages, and so forth."
The Other Sonics moan, but do so.
"What's wrong with an accent? Mine just so happens to be extremely charming." British Sonic spoke up, upset he had to lose it.
"Well, we're all flattered you wanted to charm us, Brit." French Sonic stated, leaning on his hand as his elbow rested on the table.
"Don't you two start again, your acting just like your countries." American Sonic spoke up, grinning at his little joke.
"I must ask, why exactly are we here again?" Asked German Sonic, as Russian Sonic spoke after him.
"I'm pretty sure it's just one of those meetings where the company just schedules it to be a 'check up' of some kind." He yawned.
"Well, a check up isn't so bad." Canadian Sonic stated, as Australian Sonic looked dead bored, spinning his chair left and right beside him with his head completely leaned back on the top of the chair's back rest.
"Ehem, anyway." Japanese Sonic spoke up, "Let's discuss the upcoming game, and maybe we'll get somewhere with that for the company to go off of."
"Sounds good." Spanish Sonic stated, sitting down as Korean Sonic watched him and then looked up to hear Japanese Sonic speak.
A worker looked into the small rectangular window of the Sonics meeting room, as his higher-up walked up and smacked him upside the head.
"I know it looks cool to see so many Sonics in the same room, but come on, Mike! You got work to do!" the boss stated, as Mike nodded and walked on.
"How many meetings are there? And are there 10 in all?"
"Sure are. There's about…ehm… 4 I think. Sonics, Tails, Knuckles, and…" the man stopped, and turned back. "Now that I think of it… where ARE the other Amys?"
In about 2 doors to the left of the Sonics meeting room, the Amys we're having a cute brunch together, squealing in joy and talking about Sonic and other such things.
"You know, my Sonic DID say he loved me in the anime." French Amy gently took a sip of her tea, being a bit all about herself at the moment and even lifting her pinkie finger up, as if to look better than the rest.
"Yeah, and then they cancelled it." American Amy stated, making the other Amys support her with 'Ohh!'s and 'Yeah-ha!'s at her diss.
French Amy slammed her tea cup down, glaring at American Amy. "So rude!"
"Well, she is American." British Amy spoke up, making American Amy turn to her and sparks of rivalry flared between the two.
"Girls, Girls! Your attention, please!" Japanese Amy spoke up, being behind a podium too.
"Oh look, it's mom." Teased Russian Amy. "What? Just because she's the original we all have to follow her?"
"Hi, mom." Also continuing the joke was Korean Amy, waving happily to her.
"Guys, I told you! I don't want to be called mom!" Japanese Amy stated, not liking the title. "I know Sonic likes to fool around and say he's 'the father of all things fast and handsome' but I would rather be like your sister, okay?" she smiled nervously, feeling a bit awkward at explaining herself, and using the bunny ears when mentioning what Sonic says.
"Hahaha! Japanese Sonic is hilarious!" Canadian Amy laughed, holding her stomach and laughing.
"I think my Sonic's the bravest though." Australian Amy commented, holding a finger to her mouth as if pondering her last statement.
"All our Sonics fit the part, it's not like one is more than the other, right?" Spanish Amy looked to Australian Amy, seeming unsure.
"GIRLS PLEASE!" American Amy slammed her hands on the table, making the others look to her immediately and being a bit startled by her sudden action too. "Hmph, Japanese Amy is speaking, stop yapping for a few seconds and listen, alright?" She then looked to Japanese Amy, giving her a thumbs up. "I go your back!" she whispered to her with a wink.
Japanese Amy laughed nervously, and nodded, turning back to the girls. "We're here to exact justice!"
"Justice?" French Amy looked to her and folded her arms. "For what?"
"W-well…" Japanese Amy began to grow shy and embarrassed, so American Amy, feeling bad for her, decided to take it upon herself to finish it for her.
"Sonic left her at the alter."
"AMERICA!"
"Oh…my gosh." British Amy slowly placed her finger food back down on her plate.
"We're you two…going to…?" Korean Amy took her two pointer fingers, standing them upright, and gently bumped them together twice.
"AHHHHH! YOU WERE GONNA GET MARRIED?!" Russian Amy jumped up, pure shock on her face. "Pozdravlyayu! Haha!" she grabbed, rather forcefully, the closest Amy near her and squeezed her with one arm, holding her tea cup high in the air and then gulping it down quickly in celebration.
"HOW DID YOU SCREW IT UP?!" Spanish Amy placed a foot on the table, seeming extremely mad that she could of ruined her one and only dream in life and hearts true desire.
"N-now, why did he um…" Korean Amy tried to ask why he left her, and maybe even what that really meant, but she was too scared of the uproar that the first question caused to really speak her mind.
Canadian Amy seemed to be having a heart attack while Australian Amy snickered and gave Japanese Amy a thumbs up. "To bad you couldn't keep him long enough to enjoy the honeymoon."
"Shouldn't you think of something other than that!?" American Amy screamed back to her.
"Like what? Kids?" Australian Amy responded, so bluntly and nonchalantly too.
"I'm so glad you said kids." French Amy seemed to relax herself as if she was expecting something worse out of her mouth. "But besides that, why else do people get married?"
"Girls, girls! We need to know why this happened." German Amy seemed to calm the rest down. "Listen, not that I don't believe you or anything, Japan. But why on earth would Sonic agree to that anyway?"
"Because he loves her?" British Amy spoke up, looking to German Amy like she was an idiot.
"I agree with German Amy. It doesn't seem likely that he would just say 'Oh sure Amy, let's do this!' you know?" Russian Amy stated, coming down from her partying state of mind after fully realizing the situation.
"He could have been bored?" French Amy shrugged, just trying to contribute.
"Well…" American Amy looked to Japanese Amy, not sure how to start from the beginning.
An Explanation later
"Gurl, I wish I had HALF your guts." Spanish Amy stated, drinking her tea.
"HAHAHAHAH!" Australian Amy was laughing so hard, "SQUEAKY TOY CHILIDOGS?! That was your BIG PLAN!? HAHAHA!"
"How… how was that inspired by a flash mob?" blushed Korean Amy.
"Okay, everyone! Please, listen. I kinda see how that would be a silly thing, but she did get a little peck on the cheek with it so~" American Amy jumped in to, again, stand up for Japanese Amy, who looked to her like she really didn't need the help.
"The fact of the matter is, I want revenge!" She stated, pounding her fist on the podium. "I mean, I traveled all that way in good faith that he would be happy to see me, to then be punished for loving him enough to do something so risky!? And then plan a moment to talk together for ONCE in a long, long time only to be tricked and embarrassed on American soil!"
"Hey, what's wrong with my soil?" American Amy stated, being slightly offended.
"You soiled it with your bad manners." British Amy leaned over and laughed while stating her own insult.
"Why you-!" American Amy turned quickly to glare at her, but Japanese Amy stopped the two by stretching her arms out, holding a hand up to both of them to stop and quit it.
"Look, if no one has a good idea then-"
"Maybe we can pull some pranks on them." Spanish Amy suggested.
"Or jump into his hard-drive and cause mayhem and havoc! Haha!" Australian Amy kid.
"You know only the main five can do that, and we'd be in SERIOUS trouble messing with an original." French Amy stated, not liking Australian Amy's attitude. "Besides, if she could do that, she would of just made him all like, "Oh là là~" if you know what I mean." She winked to Australian Amy, who snickered back.
"Would you two stop." British Amy shook her head at the two of them.
"Behave." Korean Amy cutely, and teasingly pawed at the two of them.
"Okay, okay… none of those are really good enough though…" Japanese Amy lowered her head to the podium, as Russian Amy sighed and pouted, placing both elbows on the table and holding her head up with her hands. She tapped her fingers on her head, as the others started to think too, following after her.
"Hmm… maybe… one of us could dress up as Sonic, infiltrate their meeting, and get the topic to turn to us. We could learn about little things they think about us, stuff they would never say or even admit around us, and use it to our advantage?" Spanish Amy suggested while fiddling with her nails.
"… like… Eavesdropping?" British Amy asked, looking to her.
"No.." American Amy got up, making them all look to her as she had a wicked grin on her face, and an evil glare too. "Black mail."
"Ohhh." The other Amys looked to each other, and then they all smiled and nodded.
"B-black mail!?" Japanese Amy looked a bit concerned. "But… what if they catch us? Or find out or something? I think pranking them is a lot better than that… it just seems… kinda cruel.." she looked away, not wanting to hurt the Sonics, just get a little friendly payback.
"We'll bug the room!" American Amy stated, looking to Japanese Amy.
"Yeah! We only need to go in once!" Russian Amy stated, getting up and hyped too from American Amy's enthusiasm.
"G-guys, I don't know if-" Canadian Amy started, as Korean Amy placed a hand on her own and looked up at the others.
"If we do this, we'll be betraying all of our Sonics trust… They could get really mad."
"But~ We'll have our revenge!" French Amy put her fist up, excited too.
"Not just that! But we'll show them that if you mess with one Rose, you mess with the whole Garden!" Inspiringly spoke American Amy.
"YEAH!" The Amys cheered, as Japanese Amy looked around, realizing she may have made a slight mistake…
"Nevermind! I don't want to do this anymore!"
"What? Why not?! This is PERFECT!" American Amy tried to push her into it. She walked over and around the podium, holding Japanese Amy by her arms. "what's wrong?"
"Well… according to Spanish Amy, we'd have to impersonate Sonic!"
The Amys stopped cheering, as their smiles wore off.
"Who would be able to do that?" She asked.
"Ohh…" The Amys slowly sat back down, being disappointed and losing their spirit.
"Hmm… Alright, we'll draw straws!"
"What!?" The Amys all looked to American Amy like she was crazy.
"Any of us can walk the walk, and talk the talk! We've known Sonic half our lives! It's in our programming! We just have to mimic him! No big deal." She swiped the air, and then ran out to get the straws.
"Why is she so motivated?" Asked Australian Amy. "I'm just curious."
"She just really wants to help Japanese Amy with this revenge scheme I guess." French Amy concluded.
"Or maybe…" Russian Amy looked off towards the door American Amy left through. "Maybe she's hoping to hear something.."
A few minutes later
"Ready? Three, two, one, pull!" the girls pulled out there straws, and looked around to see who got the blue stripe.
"Eep." Canadian Amy looked to see a blue stripe on her straw, and looked terrified.
The other Amys looked up to her, and smiled in high hopes.
"It's okay, Canada. I believe in you." Korean Amy placed a hopeful hand on her head, patting it softly for moral support as Canadian Amy looked about ready to cry.
To prepare, the Amys all worked together, getting Canadian Amy prepped to look like Sonic meant they needed his shoes and gloves, which American Amy had to use her main five powers to get into the computer program and 'borrow' a copied data of his shoes and gloves, rushing back to the meeting room, hoping she was unspotted.
Mike was going down the hall with a tray of pizza for the Sonics, when he noticed Amy looking around suspiciously, holding something red and white in her hands, before dashing inside her meeting door, looking around again, and closing the door. He was at the corner of where her hall was, so she couldn't spot him, plus it was getting late so it was dark in the corridor besides the one window at the end of the hallway. The meeting would be over and start again tomorrow, usually lasting a few days anyway.
Not knowing what she was planning, Mike just continued his job, wondering though what was in her hands… "It sure was shiny." He thought out loud, before opening the door to the Sonics meeting room, hearing a commotion inside, and then calling out, "Pizza's here!"
"Pizza!" They all cheered, "Come on in, brother! You are welcomed here!" they seemed to just be partying now, not really having a real discussion anymore.
The 2nd Meeting Day
"Okay, after so long of prepping, then going home to sleep on it, and STILL being sure we were doing this today…" Japanese Amy began, as the other Amys surrounded her in a huddle in front of whatever she was talking too.
"Oh, just hurry up, will you!?" One of the Amys said in the huddle.
Japanese Amy looked up at her and pouted, but then smiled, growing more confident with this plan and excited to get her revenge, she moved away and presented the girls work of art! "Ta-dah!"
Canadian Amy stood up, having her bangs and quills placed back to slick her hair into Sonic's signature look, and painted blue, she looked a little to much like him! She had contacts to make her eyes a lighter shade of green, her clothes gone and replaced with Sonic's gloves and shoes, but she covered herself anyway.
"I'm naked!" she screamed.
"No, no, no. You have to speak more guyish, like Sonic." American Amy stated.
"I'm not walking out naked!"
"The paint is keeping you covered." French Amy stated.
"What about her figure?" asked Korean Amy.
"What figure? All of us don't have much anyway." German Amy stated with little to no emotion in her words at all.
"Hey! That's mean! Have respect for yourself!" British Amy placed two defiant hands on her hips, huffing at German Amy's words.
"It's true." She replied, rolling her eyes and shrugging.
"Okay, remember the plan. You're late cause you're from the Netherlands and had a bumpy plane ride over here, okay?" Spanish Amy explained.
"O-okay."
"No, no! With Sonic's attitude and voice, come on!" Russian Amy hit her back, getting her to stand upright. "With feeling! Get into character."
"O-oh um… Heh!" She put a finger under her fake long nose and rubbed gently under it, making it slightly wiggle. "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! The Fastest thing alive! If I could of walked on water to get here, then I would have, hahahahah!" She placed both hands behind her head, and carried herself highly, making the other Amys 'Ohh' at her performance.
"I think I fell in love again." French Amy admitted, looking love struck with her hands together.
"Great job, Canada! I knew you could do it! Now, let's get you in that meeting! Did you get the bugs?" American Amy made sure she was carrying everything she needed to bug the room for the girls.
"Y-yeah.." Canada Amy went back to her normal self, and was then pushed out of the room. "Ya-Ah! Ay! That wasn't funny, eh!"
"Don't let them catch that accent! And don't you dare let them find you coming here! Return when it's safe!" Russian Amy stated, closing the door before Korean Amy opened it slightly again.
"Good luck, solider!"
"Solider?" The Fake Sonic dusted herself off, still not liking the breeze that flew by when the window was opened by Mike.
"Huh? Oh hey, the meetings already kinda started, but… you haven't missed much, right through there." Mike pointed to the door, as the Fake Sonic smiled politely, and straightened himself up.
"Right, meeting. Here I go!" She opened the door, and walked bravely in.
"Huh? What a weird Sonic." Mike thought, and continued on sweeping the corridor.
"I keep telling you! If all the emeralds were destroyed, then Chaos energy would have to gather into the master emerald right?!"
"No, no, no. you don't understand Chaos power!"
"There is more to life than Pizza, let me tell you."
"You mean Chilidogs?"
"We have GOT to get a bigger diet."
The Fake Sonic was stunned into a frozen state of being, looking around, she was sure she couldn't do this. How could any Amy fit in with this!?
"Huh? Who are you?" A Sonic noticed her, and she didn't know how to respond. When it was with her own, she could tell each Amy apart by how they we're placed, acted, and such. But she didn't know the other Sonics… so she quickly looked around the room, and spotted her own in the mix of Sonics.
"Ehem… Sorry I'm late, fellas!" She just quickly took on his persona, hoping he would notice the similarity and just accept that it was one of his own. She moved over and got a chair, unfolding it quickly with a jerk like Sonic would of done, to her knowledge anyway, and sat down.
The room was quiet… to quiet, as the Sonics silently judged her.
"Where are you from?" The Sonic at the podium stated, seeming suspicious. She jolted, but tried to hide the fact that she did. The Original had the power to take her down to her coding, and see straight through the disguise, if he really wanted too. So to make sure he wouldn't do so, she quickly thought fast.
Kicking her feet up on the table, and leaning her chair back while putting her hands behind her head, she played a cocky approach to Sonic's character. "Oh, you know. Here and there. Haha, nah, I'm from the Netherlands. It's only me here, sadly…" she put a finger in her ear, itching in it, and then moved her hand out in front of her, keeping her voice as close to Sonic's as possible. "Technology isn't the greatest over there, as you know, so I jumped on a plane. Hehe, reminded me a bit of my Sonic Adventure days." She closed her eyes and let one of her feet tap a bit in the air. "Anyway~ I'm leaving my friends behind only cause this thing seemed mandatory. So spill, what's the news?" She opened one eyelid to look at Japanese Sonic, as the others still stared blankly at her, still wondering…
The Sonics finally relaxed, sitting back and taking their suspicions away.
'I've been accepted!'
"Heh, we all know a little about lack of technology and moving around, so no worries. But, for American Sonic's sake, you might want to keep your feet off the table."
"I just don't want my people getting mad at me for dirtying the place up is all." American Sonic stated, glaring lazily at Japanese Sonic. "Don't make it sound like I'm a neat freak."
"Haha, whatever. Anyway, though it's mandatory, if you can't make it, then you can't make it. But we're glad you're here." He smiled.
"Thanks." The fake Sonic took her two fingers and slightly saluted Japanese Sonic, showing some respects as she took her feet down and sat more properly at the table.
"No problem. Now then, what about absorbing the chaos into you and becoming your own walking, talking chaos emerald?"
The whole room went into another loud discussion, or to them, an uproar. But to the Fake Sonic, being in a room full of Amys was an uproar, not this. Especially when 'Who has the strongest arm' game is being played and Russian Amy pulls out her hammer and gets on the table…
She stayed back and let the others talk, keeping her act up though, she only butt in when she knew she could answer something, but tried to mostly stay aloof.
"Alright. I think that concludes the meeting."
'Shoot! The bug!' The fake Sonic placed a tiny device under her side of the table, but wasn't going to risk more than that one.
"Anyway, if we're done, then-"
"Wait!" She spoke up, as the other Sonics looked to her.
"Hmm? Got something to say, Netherlandic Sonic?" American Sonic leaned back in his seat, as Japanese Sonic looked to her as well, curious as to what she would say.
"Ehem." She cleared her throat, almost losing a passing Sonic voice for a moment. "I uh.. kinda have something I'd like to talk about."
"You couldn't have said it earlier?" Another Sonic who she didn't recognize spoke up, as the others laughed slightly with him.
"Well, it's kinda… dumb?" she didn't know how to explain it in a way where Sonic would think it's his own words, so she went with that. Worry started to spring up as she sweated slightly, but hoped the paint would stick together. "It's about Amy." She had to mention it, it was her mission after all, this is why she was here. With the device on, the other Amys could hear this too.
"Amy?" A Sonic looked to her, confusion written all over his face.
"What about Amy?" Another Sonic spoke up, looking annoyed and sounding the part too, as he placed a hand on the table.
"Well… as I said. Technology is still… pretty newish? And I only got a few games in stock. I haven't really… I don't know, met her yet?" she didn't quite know what she was saying, but she just went with it.
"What are you saying?" a Sonic looked more confused now at her words.
"Oh wait." A Sonic spoke up. "Are you trying to say your games are being re-processed? Like, remastered or something? So you haven't, actually, met this Amy yet?"
She had no idea what he was saying, but the other Sonics nodded as if they got that. "A reboot kinda effect then." They all agreed.
"Uhh… yeah. Yeah that's it. So anyway.." she settled herself more into her seat, 'This is it. Time to get them yapping!' she thought, but then got nervous, 'I hope they don't get mad at me…'
"How do I… you know, … deal with her? Well, not deal but… I've got programming telling me this and that about her and how I feel about her and all that jazz, but when it comes down to it, I don't really understand it."
The other Sonics smiled and raised an eyebrow, as they all cheekily turned to Japanese Sonic, smiling as if they knew something she didn't know, as Japanese Sonic looked slightly annoyed by how they all turned to him to answer it.
"What's with the sudden change of mood, eh fellas?" Japanese Sonic leaned back, and lowered his head, shaking it. "Alright fine. It'll make more sense when you actually meet her, but overall just be kind, protect her, and don't get her mad unless you're prepared for it." He explained, as simply as he could it seemed.
"Yeah, and give her an ol'peck on the cheek if she locks you in a room." A Sonic spoke up, as Japanese Sonic slammed his head on the podium, making the others burst out laughing.
"I still can't believe you did that!"
"What was it like? Everything a nightmare is suppose to be?"
"WHAHAHAHAH! Past our wildest expectations of horror and regret?"
"That's enough!" Japanese Sonic rose his head and screamed loud over the taunting the others were giving him. "She had the key RIGHT. HERE." He put a fist up to his chest. "The only way to grab it was to shock her long enough to loosen her grip and drop her hand away! IT WAS THE ONLY WAY!"
"Very logical."
"I think it was the spur of the moment. All those chilidogs just… it got to your head, man."
"But they were fake, remember?"
"FAKE!? What?! I didn't hear that! If she wasn't even willing to go the distance and stack the tables with REAL chilidogs, then she didn't even deserve that kiss!"
"I think there was an error in his thinking and he didn't want to admit it."
"Hey, don't joke about that, bro."
"Sorry."
"Japan… how many times do we have to tell you. You may be gettin' to that age where girls are lookin' cute, but Amy be cray-cray, and so no."
"All of you… get off my back…" Japanese Sonic gripped the top of the podium, leaving his head down in shame.
'What?! This isn't what I wanted to hear at all!' The fake Sonic thought, and looked down, feeling saddened by how the Sonics viewed her and her sisters…
A Sonic must of noticed her shift of character, and looked down at her sweetly. "Hey, man. It's not as bad as we're making it out to be." He patted her back, and she looked up, and noticed it was her Sonic! Comforting her….
She made sure not to blush as to give her cover away, as another Sonic spoke up. "Yeah… she may be a handful, but she's still a good friend." The other Sonics agreed and nodded.
"I would say just treat her as you would Tails or Knuckles, but beware of those killer death hugs." This Sonic twitched when he thought of the hugs, as the other men laughed at him.
"True that!"
"She'll want marriage, but if she, or someone else touches you in a-" Japanese Sonic smacked American Sonic before he could finish his 'Classic Sonic cartoon' spill.
"Shut up. She's not that kind of girl."
"Oh yeah. She's really innocent, so no worries on her trying anything."
"Haha! Yeah, and if she did, she'd be HORRIBLE at it!"
The Sonics laughed again.
"Poor thing, doesn't even know how to use her charm at ALL." This Sonic spread his arms out to dramatized the 'all' part before he reached for another piece of pizza, left over from the night before.
"Yeah, she is cute, but… I wouldn't fall in love."
The others stopped and looked to that Sonic who spoke up as he ate a bit of pizza, and then threw Pizza at him while making groaning noises or saying for him to shut up.
"What?!"
The fake Sonic didn't quite get it but she went ahead and laughed, keeping up appearances. "Is falling for her that bad?"
The boys all looked to her, and stared.
"…Well…" Something turned serious in that room, as Japanese Sonic spoke up, the rest looked to him. "SEGA would like to keep it pretty one-sided… and I respect that." He stated. "That's just how it's always been, and how it probably should stay."
"…In other words, if Japan isn't interested, we shouldn't be." American Sonic stated, and seemed to say that without an inch of humor in his voice.
"Anyway, enough talk about silly old Amy. Are we ending this meeting or what?"
Deep inside the Fake Sonic, Amy felt so insulted, like they wouldn't fall for her because 'that's how it is, so we won't change that'? As the Sonics all left, trying to rid the mood that came with speaking about Amy, she went to the boys bathroom, glad and relieved no one was there, and waited for the Sonics to disperse. Once she knew they were gone, she dashed into the Amys meeting room, where she knew they were all gathered and had heard the same thing she did.
Mike walked down the hall to the bathroom, as he was on break, and noticed something blue and spiky walk into the Amys meeting room. "..Hm?"
"Some black mail!" An Amy cried out as soon as Canadian Amy walked in, they all seemed pretty hurt and disappointed by what the Sonics had said.
"I'm not crazy!" Another spoke out, but Canadian Amy didn't want to identify her, she was to busy with her own thoughts before looking around and noticing she was still Fake Sonic.
"Someone… please just get this paint off of me." Canadian Amy stated, pulling her three quills back forward from being pushed into her hair and slicked back on her forehead where it could be out of sight.
"You did great, by the way… I didn't realize it would be like this.." American Amy stated, helping her wash off the paint outside behind the building, as German Amy and Japanese Amy held up a blanket to hide her from others eyes. Since there wasn't really a shower at Sega, they had to make due with a hose and a bucket…
American Amy and French Amy were cleaning her off, since the meeting was over.
"I still can't believe they said it HAD to be one-sided, like, if they wanted too, they could probably talk to SEGA and get that changed! Hmph!" French Amy spoke up, as American Amy's eyes widened.
'That's it!'
The 3rd Meeting Day
Fake Sonic, now being American Amy, walked into the office of a higher-up at Sega of America. Leaving the others in the dark, she hoped to surprise them if she could convince this man to change the way they lived in the games and maybe in every aspect of their lives!
"Ehem, Sonic. I… I didn't think you'd be coming here so.. well, suddenly! With all that's going on though, you must be having a blast with your other selves."
"Yeah, we're all like brothers! Haha, family reunion!" Her Sonic wasn't as good as Canada's, but it seemed to work alright as the Higher-up official didn't seem to notice anything wrong. She even, uncharacteristic of him, waved her hands up and a bit girly like. She quickly corrected herself when she noticed this though.
'I have GOT to stay in character!'
"So, I believe you came to see me about something important you'd like to change?"
"Y-…yes." She was still so out of character, and now the man was beginning to notice.
"You… alright, Sonic?" The man asked, leaning more towards him now on his desk and having his arms interlaced together, professionally. He cocked his head to the side, "You seem a bit… off from yourself today."
"Ehem." She took a deep breath.
"Well, you know. We kinda had a meeting yesterday about this, and I'm curious." She mimicked the man's actions, placing her hands on the desk like he did and looked up at him. "As Sonic the Hedgehog, I can make certain…ehmm… decisions about my life's standings… correct?" She started, slowly, becoming more Sonic-like in her actions.
"Uhh… Yes?" The man spoke out. "What is it you think we should do? I mean, you never had a complaint before… well, for quite some time anyway." He stated, the old man seemed to really want to help Sonic, which made Amy bolder in her approach.
"Listen, buddy. It's just… this whole thing about Amy and her place in the world just isn't really fair in my book anymore…" She finally became Fake Sonic.
"W-what do you mean? Amy?" He looked surprise, sitting back.
"Well, the whole one sided thing." She leaned back too, and moved her arms more, something Sonic did to express himself constantly.
"W-what about it? That's been in place for years." He seemed to be panicking, as he opened a drawer below himself and shakingly took out his glasses, placing them on.
American Amy was just fueled by his nervousness, and her Fake Sonic grew stronger in her act. "You see, me and the others were thinking… romance can sell." Fake Sonic placed his elbows on the table, but kept his arms up, hands out almost like a shrug as she continued to go on.
"I just think, you know… Nintendo of all things has Zelda and Link happening right now. What, with that hug happening, and then the whole teases sprinkled throughout there newest addition to the franchise."
"Uh…T-T-The hug? I think you mean the Fall and Catch, umm.. b-b-but, Wha- Sonic wait..!"
"That's what I'm saying! What were we waiting for all these years, huh? A sign? For her to age? Cause I think we're both pretty amped up to go for something now, maybe build up to something in a few games before springing the surprise, eh? Give it to them slowly as to not shock the fans to much with just a giant moment in their face, but, haha. I think they'd love it!"
"Sonic, please." The old man stopped her, and took a deep breath. "Now, I'm confused Sonic. When we gave you the option many years ago you stated you didn't want that for yourself. Now your coming here bouncing around the very thought as if it's a brilliant idea? I thought you said you didn't want to be in love?"
American Amy broke from her composure of being Fake Sonic.
'I thought you said you didn't want to be in love?'
'You didn't want to be in love?'
'…Didn't want to be..?'
"What?"
"Well, that's what you said. Don't you remember? As a young sprite for goodness sake. I'm surprised. We've asked you time and time again, and you always say, 'let it be.' or 'leave it to the imagination of fans' and such things like that. I'm just… well I'm florid." The old man seemed genuinely shocked by all this happening at once, as Amy was just so hurt and shocked by it all herself…
"T-thank you for your time…" she got up, and dashed out as quickly as possible.
"Hmm? Sonic?" The old man watched her race out, as he quickly turned, and started dialing numbers on the phone next to him. After a few minutes of talking, he finally stated, "Yes, yes. I know what Sonic has said before, but he came in here like a puppy in love! I don't quite understand it myself, but you should get the others in on this too! Yes, yes… I know he's not the original, but if one meeting has made even one Sonic change his mind, well you know how they're all pretty much the same in data and frame, think of how many others were suddenly changed in their thinking too!"
As news got around to the other companies, a few got scared, and wanted the meetings to stop right there.
Others were thrilled, ecstatic even, that Sonic may allow them to be a little more creative in that field of storytelling.
"I'm telling you! It simply won't work!" Now the entire company was having a full on meeting, there was a huge wide screen showing a bunch of important people's faces on the huge monitor, as a group of men sat at a table with a big camera facing towards them.
"It's unbelievable! My Sonic has never said a word to me about that!" A woman spoke on the screen, as another person jumped in on the topic.
"She's too young!"
"Well, she's not getting any younger to be frank." A man on the table spoke out and into a microphone. "She's pretty much immortal so.."
"Fans will get into frantic wars about this. It's a dangerous topic, he's already stated, quite repetitively, that he isn't interested in her being his 'official' girlfriend." The woman spoke again, not easing up.
"Actually, ma'am. He hasn't stated he doesn't like the idea either, only that he doesn't feel up to it at the moment, until now." Another man answered on the board.
"Are you saying he was neutral about this, until some sudden meeting discussion?"
"All of you, listen closely, please." A Japanese man spoke up, as the others silenced themselves, a few people looking frustrated and upset. "If what these men are saying is true, then perhaps Sonic is changing. We have had many discussions of this in the past, and I for one have always stuck with Sonic's opinion on everything. If Sonic would like to give Amy a little more of his heart, then with close monitoring, I think that's alright."
"But Hajime Satomi, as you may be aware, we've already planned it to where there is no definite romances in this franchise." The same woman spoke up, looking completely against this idea.
"I will speak to Sonic."
"They already have, apparently."
"My Sonic."
He said that line as if that was the only Sonic that mattered.
"Good day, everyone." He turned his monitor off, getting up to reach the camera and smiling.
The 4th Meeting Day
The Sonics all happily and comfortably talked one to another, as even one mentioned where Netherlandic Sonic may be.
Then, Japanese Sonic barged open the door, looking ticked as he raised his head from its lowered state, and looked dead set on American Sonic, giving him a glare that could make even Eggman fear for his life.
"Uhh…Jap? You okay?" American Sonic asked, blinking his eyes and getting slightly scared and worried. "You don't look so-"
Japanese Sonic punched American Sonic
American Sonic went rolling over the table, and got his grip, gasping for air as he looked up at Japanese Sonic. "What on earth!? Have you lost your mind!?"
Japanese Sonic bent down slightly into a fighting stance, teeth clinched, as he jumped up on the table and started brawling with American Sonic.
"Woah, woah, break it up! What's going on!?" The other Sonics grabbed the two, pulling them off to two different sides of the table, now half of them standing on the table themselves. "Have you both lost your minds!?"
"You traitor! I thought you said you agreed with what I said about it being one-sided with Amy!"
"What? I did! I even followed you up on it!"
"LIAR!" It took all the Sonic's on that side to restrain Japanese Sonic.
"What are you talking about!?" American Sonic hollered back to him, being released by the other Sonics, since it didn't look like he was going to fight him anymore.
"If that's true, then why did my CEO just ask me if we've collectively decided on letting romance into the franchise!"
"WHAT!?"
"He said your men told him you came to your official and told him you were alright with the idea!"
"I would never!"
"Then, tell me, were your men lying!?"
"Hey, calm down, Japan. Let America speak." Korean Sonic pushed Japanese Sonic back, as he looked right about to lunge at American Sonic again.
"I trusted you." Japanese Sonic finally stated. "I really thought you would know better…"
"I didn't say anything! Believe me, my people wouldn't lie, but this has to be a mistake!" American Sonic tried to plead his innocence as Spanish Sonic saw something blink of light under the table.
He slowly moved under the table and was shocked to find a small circular device. He pulled it out and tugged on its antenna. "Uhh… guys?"
"If it wasn't you who went to your people, then who did?"
"Guys?"
Russian Sonic shook his head, "Listen, we need to calm down and think this through."
"GUYS."
The Sonics all looked to Spanish Sonic, as he got up and pointed innocently to the device. "I think I found a bug."
"…No…I think you found a rat."
Back at Amys meeting room, the girls quickly shut off the device.
"Crap." American Amy spit out.
"America…" Japanese Amy looked to her, "What have you done?"
"I…I just wanted to change how things were!" she admitted, "But I stopped! I stopped half way! He must of told the other companies… and then the main heads of the board…"
"He told Hajime Satomi, do you even know what that means!?" Japanese Amy gripped her friend's shoulders; fear of the consequences of this trickery crept into her soul and flowed out her eyes. She looked terrified…
"We're all gonna die." French Amy stated, holding her hands up to her mouth.
Canadian Amy opened a window, seeming ready to jump.
"NOONONONONO!" The other Amys grabbed her and pulled her down.
"Calm down! They can't kill us!" Japanese Amy stated, "But we do have to get rid of the evidence!"
"The speaker, get that thing back into data bits!" German Amy pointed to the speaker in the middle of the table, the one that let them hear everything the boys had said.
"We need to put those gloves and shoes data back!" Russian Amy handed American Amy the data. "It was from your data base, you put it back!"
"No!" British Amy stopped her, taking the shoes and gloves. "He's part of the main five! He'll know someone took his data to disguise as him and trace it back!"
"Then how do we..?" Korean Amy looked scared too, not wanting her Sonic to be mad at her either.
"I feel like we're trying to hide a body, can we not act so guilty?" Australian Amy tried to keep cool and get everyone else to try too. "Deep breaths, everybody, deep breaths."
Everyone stopped a moment, Spanish Amy with the blue paint, and German Amy having the speaker almost completely data bits flying in the air.
"Ha….whoo…"
They all took a deep breath together.
"Good… one more time." Suggested Australian Amy.
"Ha…"
"Oh? Netherlandic Sonic? Yeah… it was kinda weird… I think I saw him go into the Amys meeting room to be honest."
"AHHHHHHH!"
The Sonics all looked from Mike to the Amys meeting room.
"We're gonna die!" "Shut up!" "Pull yourselves together and follow me!"
The Amys dropped everything, the speaker, which reformed it's bits because it wasn't done being de-coded, and the shoes and gloves, which we're just thrown up in the air, and lastly the paint, which splattered everywhere.
"There goes hiding the evidence…" German Amy gravely said, seeing the mess.
"Quick, out the window!" American Amy ordered, shoving Canadian Amy out again.
"Wait what?!" The Amys looked concerned as American Amy grabbed Canadian Amy and jumped, landing in a tree outside and then climbing safely down. "Come on!" she hollered up.
Everyone began to climb out the window, jumping to the nearby tree outside to the back lot and dashing downward as quickly as possible, seeming to move to parking lot.
American Amy, feeling this is slightly her fault, took it upon herself to try and save everyone. "7….8….9, woop! 10!" She was helping the girls down, and just caught Korean Amy as she flew down from the tree.
"Thank you." She politely said.
"No problem." She let her go and looked to see another figure fall away from her side of the tree. "11?" she thought she might of miscounted and walked over to the dark figure.
Suddenly, as she was about to approach it, three other figures fell, as one came out from the shadows. "So… have you seen a Netherlandic Sonic around here, Amy?"
The Amys all hid behind the corner of the building, before looking around, Japanese Amy suddenly went into a panic when she only counted 9. "Where's America!?"
"HELP!" She turned around, and saw the Sonics had her with her hands behind her back. "NEVERMIND! JUST SAVE YOURSELVES!"
"AHHHH!" The other Amys screamed and took off for the front, but Canadian Amy felt she should turn herself in.
"I'm going back! I can't let her take the blame for this!"
"No! We'll stick together, we were all apart of this!" Japanese Amy took her hand and kept running.
"You guys get the other Amys, I'll meet you there." American Sonic had gotten his Amy from the others, and threw her over his back to carry her.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"It was you, wasn't it?!" he growled out.
"I… I plead the fifth!" she cried out, as he nodded with an 'uh-huh' and sped off to meet back with the other Sonics.
The Amys got surrounded in the front parking lot in no time, as they huddled in fear of what the Sonics would do in punishment.
"Man, why is there just so much trouble in such a small girl?" One of the Sonics stated, looking genuinely distraught with not knowing the answer to this.
"It's not how much is there, it's how much she can cause." A Sonic stepped out from the ring they created to corral the girls together. "Now someone step up and tell us. Whose idea was this?"
The Amys looked to each other, and turned around to huddle and whisper. A few seconds went by and they turned around. "I did it." They all stated.
The Sonics looked confused, looking from one to another. "Y-yeah, but which one?"
"Me." They all said together, as some smiled and giggled.
"This isn't a game!"
"Yeah, but if we keep this up it will soon BE a game." The whole crowd of Amys laughed, knowing how true that was.
"Excuse me!?"
"If we can convince them that 'you' meant what 'you' said to SEGA then we'll be more than just an 'off-screen-fling' if you know what I mean." A Amy winked to her Sonic, who was off to the side as he froze in fear.
"That's enough!" Japanese Sonic stepped out, "Where's my Amy?"
"Ohh~ My?" the girls giggled, stalling as best they could.
American Sonic came right on time, as Japanese Sonic growled out his frustration. "There playing with us, keeping so close together and speaking as one to where most of us can't distinguish between them."
"The Zebra effect?"
"Well… I can maybe use my power..." Japanese Sonic thought about it, "We are part of the mains…"
"WE'LL NEVER SURRENDER! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!" American Amy shouted out, making everyone look at her.
"What?"
"Good mable syrup, eh!" She looked to her sisters, trying to help them get what she was saying.
"Ohh…" It seems an Amy got it. "Xiàwǔ hǎo!" she randomly spoke out.
"What? What are you doing?"
"Change your nationality, quick! The translator option!"
"Ohhh!" the Amys suddenly started using different languages that weren't their own. Mixing and making sure the Sonics couldn't tell one from another.
"We don't even HAVE a Chinese Amy!"
"What's going on?"
"There stalling, we have to prove to the board that Amy was impersonating American Sonic or-"
"HI-YAH!" "OW!" "Amy!"
An Amy had hit American Sonic, so that he let his Amy go from his shoulder and she ran off with the others.
"OHHHH YOU ARE SO DEAD!" American Sonic clutched his head, enraged.
"What do we do? Your CEO is convinced your to shy to talk about it and is ready to launch the new initiative!"
"Here that, girls? If we just-"
"I think this is wrong, we should just stop this!"
"It's the perfect revenge!" American Amy was getting pumped, and looked to Japanese Amy. "If we just-"
Suddenly, Japanese Sonic outstretched his hand, as Japanese Amy felt what he must be doing.
"NO!" she stepped out, moving American Amy out of the way and stepping in front of the girls, her hands spread out wide. "You can't use your power for something like this! It's too dangerous! It's not important enough!"
"Erk…" Japanese Sonic stopped himself. "You girls leave me no choice! If we can't tell which is which, I'll have to search your code."
"You could tamper with something or worse! Lose some of your code in the process!" she was genuinely worried now, as a secretary looked out the front gates to see this weird phenomenon of Sonics and Amys together and rushed quickly to get the heads of the board out there and witness this too.
"Amy… no, all of you! Quit this act and tell them that you fooled them." Japanese Sonic declared. "This is low, even for you, Amy!" he shouted out in rage.
Amy could feel that and felt her heart break slightly, did she go too far?
They all felt this pain, every Amy,… but American Amy. She felt rage too, like they weren't being fair either…
"This is our lives you're taking over, Amy! You can't force this into the games or even out here! This is insanity!" another Sonic spoke out, and Canadian Amy noticed it was her Sonic.
"You can't force us to like you!"
"Then explain why!" American Amy stepped out with Japanese Amy, who was already out there, and looked back to her.
"What are you doing..?"
"Don't you think we have the right to know?"
"Know?" American Sonic stepped out with Japanese Sonic also already being out in front too. "Know what?"
"Why you keep telling them that you… you don't…"
'I thought you said you didn't want to be in love?'
"Don't what? Amy?"
Japanese Sonic took this chance to move his hand to his side, behind his legs. While they we're distracted, he used his 'Original' powers and began searching each of their code. 'American….Japanese…. Canadian… Korean… German…' each code then lead to files, which he opened to see different languages and identified each of them.
"… why don't you want to fall in love?"
"Sonics! Listen! German, Korean, Spanish, French, British, Australian, Canadian, Russian, American, Japanese!" Japanese Sonic had found and pointed to each Amy as he listed them. When he finished, each Sonic dashed and grabbed their Amy before they could run or move from where Japanese Sonic had pointed to them.
"NO!"
"Hold still!"
"Let me go!"
"Funny, I thought you always wanted me to hold you!"
"You brute!"
"You spy!"
"Eavesdropper!"
"Oh please, I've never dropped an eaves!"
American Amy was once again held hostage by her own Sonic, as he grabbed her waist and pulled her hands back. "It just… it isn't fair!" she screamed out, stomping her foot down. "Why don't you want to be in love?"
"…Amy…" Sonic glared down at her, but he looked sad, as if he couldn't say what he wanted too. All he could do was remember the time at the mall... and wondering what happened to her.
"Now then, can we please have some order here?!" Japanese Sonic looked to his own Amy, who wasn't fighting him when he caught her. "Tell them you pulled this whole ruse off, Amy. Please, this isn't right. You should know that!"
The men started to come out of the building, even the man Amy had talked to as Fake Sonic.
A moment of silence was made, and everyone was breathing heavily. So much chaos, so much disorder… for what? A simple act to get back at someone? Was it even worth it? What did they gain…?
But the real question was,
What were they willing to gain?
And what were they willing to lose?
When all Japanese Amy really wanted was to just give up and go home, she looked over to American Amy, head down, ears back. But American Amy looked to Japanese Amy, and gave her such a strong and determined look, and slowly shook her head.
The message she gave was clear.
'She's… not giving up?'
And even though she thought it was wrong, she was going to try it anyway.
"…Oh Sonic-ku." The ultimate betrayal, the ultimate sacrifice, just for a moment to know the truth. "I love you too!" Japanese Amy jumped into his arms, and the people gasped.
The other Amys looked and did the same, cooing and squeeing, making it seem like the whole incident was Sonic confessing or something.
Since all the Sonics did have Amy in their arms, the people were mistaken to believe that might have been an act of love.
"I knew you cared!"
"I'm so happy, hold me!"
"Oh Sonic, why didn't you tell me you felt this way!?"
The Sonics kept trying to push them away, but the on-watchers thought that was just their way of keeping face.
"Well then, I guess this does it." A man said. "Let's tell the Chairmen."
"NOOO!" The Sonics screamed, as the Amys waited for the people to walk back into the doors, before lifting their voices and joyfully sharing in their victory.
"We're gonna have love in the games!" They cheered one to another.
"Nothing we tell them will make them believe anything we say against it now…" Japanese Sonic looked down, as all the Sonics felt they had been defeated, Amy's lie would affect their lives now…
American Amy turned around, and glared at her Sonic, sticking her tongue out. "Watch! This will be good for you! You'll learn to love and respect us this way."
"….What happened to freedom…" American Sonic turned away from her, so hurt by her actions.
"…W-..what?" That sank deep in Amy's soul. "B-but.."
The other Amys stopped celebrating too, as the men slowly began to walk away and into the building.
"You really think we'd like you NOW?" one said.
"I really never knew you could be this… cruel, Amy."
The Amys looked to one another, "Have we gone to far?"
"It's our fault they're like this… we only did it to get back at them, not ruin there lives!"
"I don't want my Sonic to hate me and only fake liking me on the screen!"
"I agree, we have to stop this!"
"I'm sorry! I was the one who faked Sonic!"
The Sonics turned around, "What was that?"
"Canada! No!"
"And.. And I faked American Sonic… but I never thought he would tell the other companies! I stopped before I really began… I never knew it would get this bad, honest!" American Amy confessed.
"Please don't hate us…" Korean Amy pleaded.
"Y-yeah… we just… we just wanted to get back at you for hurting Japanese Amy!"
"What? I would never!" Japanese Sonic turned completely around, insulted. "When have I ever hurt you?"
"You stole my first kiss and didn't even mean it, you jerk!" She finally spoke out. "You… you left me at the alter!"
"You were going insane! You first, locked me in a room full of squeaky toy chilidogs and then planned a wedding based on my last minute resort!"
"I…I'm sorry!"
Click!
"W..What was that?" The Amys looked around.
The Sonics smiled.
"What… what just happened?"
"Oh… I don't know. Maybe this whole conversation was just recorded?" American Sonic took out a recorder. He clicked the reverse button and clicked play again.
"I'm sorry! I was the one who faked Sonic!"
"Canada! No!"
"And.. And I faked American Sonic… but I never thought that higher-up would tell the other companies! I stopped before I really began… I never knew it would get this bad, honest!"
He clicked off the speaker.
"We…We've been played." American Amy gasped out.
"Well, to be honest. It's payback." Sonic tossed the device behind him, being caught by another Sonic. "Send that to our friends inside, will you?" he folded his arms.
"I would be happy to oblige." The Sonic raced off.
"Now then, I wonder what SEGA will do this time… since last time I really stopped them from giving you your proper dues but now… eh, I think you'll be okay." He teased, and walked off, as the other Sonics left too.
"Causing this much chaos and confusion… Japan! They'll rewrite us all!" French Amy gripped and pulled on Japanese Amy's arm, scared. "I don't want to disappear and be replaced! Amy!"
"Amy, help us!"
"You can stop this right?!"
"We didn't mean any harm!"
"You've got to save us!"
"Come on, they'll listen to you!"
"Please mom.."
"STOPP!" Japanese Amy was looking to them all in fear, as each of them jumped on her to help them, she gripped her head and dashed off.
"Japan…" American Amy knew this was mostly her fault… if she didn't try and pull off Fake Sonic again, they could of just gotten there one little eavesdrop and that would have been that! She dashed after Japanese Amy, who ran off with her hands to her face, most likely crying…
"I…I have to make this right." She told herself, and dashed toward where the Sonics had gone. "I…I'm the one that encouraged this… from the beginning… they wouldn't have done this if I didn't support it so much! Sonic! Wait!"
"So… you're all telling me that the Amys set this up?"
"Yep, and we have the proof too."
The Sonics let the tape play, as the people on the monitor screen listened and nodded.
"That darn girl! First the incident with the flashdrive and now this!" the same frustrated woman said.
"Please, this is just a huge misunderstanding. I'm sure it was just them goofing around."
"Well, I believe Amy's been goofing around for to long now, we need to be stricter with that girl."
"Poor guy, haha, she really scared you bad, huh?"
The Sonics had awkward sweat drops on the side of their heads with that comment.
"Well then… Hajime Satomi?"
Satomi looked around at the Sonics, and then down. "I just can't see Amy doing something that hurtful to Sonic. But the evidence doesn't lie. This is the second case where something unfortunate and chaotic has happened that was her doing. I'm afraid I'm going to have to-"
"WAIT!" American Amy came charging in, huffing and puffing and leaning on her knees.
The Sonics and people in the dark room turned around, letting her pass them as she walked slowly up to the monitor.
"Please, listen to me! It's true we all cooperated on the Fake Sonic the second day of the meetings,.. but we never meant any harm by it! We only wanted to get back at Sonic for being so mean to Amy… I-I mean the other Amy, the… well, your Amy." American Amy recognized that this must be the CEO of Sega of Japan, and bent her ears back in submission and embarrassment.
"Hmm?"
"Long story.." Japanese Sonic looked away, scratching his head.
"So.. there's more to this story?"
"Please! I'm the one that told Sega of America that Sonic was okay with love again, well, in the Fake Sonic get-up… not as me. But I'm terribly sorry! I'll take all the punishment, but please! Please don't let the other Amys suffer because of my selfishness…"
"Your… selfishness?" This seemed to surprise Mr. Satomi. "Hmm… I think you might have an error…"
Amy froze.
The American Division of Sega gasped.
"W…what do you mean… an error?"
"In your code, Amy's not selfish. She can act rather for herself, but she's never cruel or selfish. Making someone believe Sonic has changed his mind and wants to share a romance with you, but plotting to trick him into that lifestyle, even to the point where I would of thought he was complaining out of shyness is just to cruel of a selfish desire. Amy can be selfish, but never to that extent. Never to hurting Sonic or restricting him from the things he loves, or believes in."
If what he was saying was true, Amy could be…. Dying…
"Amy…" American Sonic looked to her, seeming concerned, as she looked to him.
"…W-well…"
"We'll do the tests, sir." A man behind her spoke up, "We'll make sure her coding is fine."
"Good, I'd like to hear back on that. Now then, you're accepting all punishment then? Is my understanding right or is my translator not working properly?
"Y…Yes sir."
"Hmm, well then. I'm afraid I can't do that."
Amy's head shot up to the screen, "What? No! Please!" she reached for the screen.
"I can't do that… until it's proven you're clean from errors. I hope you don't glitch or anything, but if there is an error, you'll turn into data bits and we'll have to create another American version of Amy based on backup data. So what I'm saying is, if your of sound mind, I'll tell your people what to do with you, if not, then your backup will receive no punishment for your actions that were not it's own. Understand?"
"…So… I lose either way."
"You have done something uncharacteristic. But apparently, so has my Amy." Satomi looked to his Sonic, who sighed.
"Well…" he looked down, scratching his head. "It wasn't… to out of character.." he stated.
"You're defending her?" American Sonic spoke up.
"If your Amy is corrupted, then she may have convinced my Amy to do things she normally wouldn't do. I can understand the high-jacking the flashdrive, but not shoving me in a closed room."
"How do you know that wasn't her idea?"
"I just… know." He looked to American Sonic, and for the first time, American Sonic noticed a deeper kindness in his eyes.
"Amy, did you… did you also convince the other Amys, including Japanese Amy, of this idea?" American Sonic instantly believed Japanese Sonic was right, especially when Amy turned around, heartbroken and almost complete guilt in her eyes.
"…It wasn't my initial idea, or my idea at all… but I wanted to go with it, when Japanese Amy knew it was wrong…"
"Then, I'm pretty sure there's an error in-"
Suddenly a large glitch happened in Amy, her bits split for a moment and she phased before turning back to normal.
"….."
Everyone gasped and remained silent.
American Amy….
Was dying….
