Sonic Supers!

Chapter 2 (S1)

By: Cutegirlmayra(Soo~ Did you all like the first episode?! I just wanted to get everyone, and the setting, together so it would be more defined from the get-go. Now it's time to move into Amy joining the group, and as we all can see…. Sonic and the gang aren't being very willing… so? How will Amy join the ranks? Let's find out, shall we~?)

"OHH! Those no good, darn speedy, colorful mix of- just- JERKS!" Amy swung her hammer around, shaking her fist and silently wishing within herself that she was better than this.

After having lost the three hedgehogs trails, she was sure that finding them in this thick jungle was useless now…

Still, it wasn't stopping her from hoping, as she trekked along through the jungle, dodging snakes and ring-thieving monkeys, defending and managing herself through the perils of not accidentally falling into a river or ravine, and making herself quite able in this untamed landscape.

"Oh, who am I kidding? I'll never catch up to them in time…" She let her hammer fall to her side and swung her body left and right, her usual walking style, swinging her arms up and down while keeping her head down in disappointment.

"I can be useful too… you know…"

"Ohhh~ Very useful."

"Thank you! At least someone-!….uh…"

Amy turned around, feeling glad someone recognized her potential, before realizing a giant robot was standing in front of her. Looking like a large wolf-lion with spines resembling sharp shards like pillars shooting out of its back, and being completely coated in shining, metallic silver.

"Nice to see you out and about… Rose…"

The speaker on Eggman's beast-bot could be seen as the creature slightly opened its mouth as it moved back and forth, left and right, terrifyingly glaring down at the little hedgehog.

Amy gulped.

"Oh no…."

The three hedgehogs we're running along the plains of grass and forest, having just made their way out of the jungle, and seeing each other's strengths. While making their way off Angel Island, and about at it's brim, they slowed their pace to look over the rocky cliff.

"Well, who'd have guessed you could fly. Perfect timing!" Sonic 'hinted' a suggestion on how they could all get down without swimming, the sea showed its light blue face to them over the rocky ridge.

"I'm only here to look for Eggman's secret base, where he undoubtedly is holding your friend." Shadow commented, clearly seeing the implied statement Sonic had made of them all going together. "I have no need of you if this is the end of your intel." He looked over the ridge, bending on knee to try and figure out a way down.

The side caved a little, a loose piece of ground floated off and then fell straight from from his foot.

He scowled.

"Aw, looks like I've found the end of your 'intel' on another way down, faker." Sonic grinned, folding his arms.

"Aren't you afraid of water? How'd you get here in the first place?" Shadow glared at him, as Sonic stiffened up, and glared back.

"Silver, you think you can use you're telekinesis to get us across the water?" Sonic immediately dodged Shadow's question, but one could see a small raff below where many vines were laid over.

Walking over to Silver, Sonic looked to his right to see Silver flying with the same lime green aurora that helped the team move large boulders out of their paths before hand on the jungle trail.

"Shouldn't be a problem." He responded, and looked forward again. "…."

His eyes drooped low in concern, and he seemed to be lost in his own thought for a moment.

"Huh?" Sonic tilted his head, "If I didn't know you any better, I'd say you looked worried. How come?" Sonic meant this in a teasing way, seeing as he didn't know a thing about Silver.

"….It's just…." Silver looked down and away, as Shadow grunted, making the two look over to the left at him.

"Something you'd like to add, Shadow?" Sonic sarcastically stated, raising a questionable eye brow at him while being snarky about it.

"Hmph, if this is about leaving the girl behind…" he grumbled out, and glared at Silver, as if this topic had come up before.

"Just know that she's fine on her own." Sonic turned to Silver, and smiled. "I actually do know her very well, and I can definitely say that she's not even breaking a sweat right now." His confidence in that statement seemed to put Silver at ease, but also make him curious to know more about her.

"I'm glad that's so, but… it seemed a bit cruel…." Silver looked out at the sea again, as if his conscience was playing games with his heart. "She seemed really upset…"

He composed himself, closing his eyes and letting the breeze from below calm him, as he took a breath to relax himself.

Looking forward again, he stated, "I'm just speaking my mind, is all."

"I know what it looked like we had done, Silver." Sonic began, smiling as he spoke and looked back to Silver from the corner of his eye. "But she's a tough girl. Strong as any girl ever was."

He comically rolled his eyes, and then laughed lightly. "She'll be fine."

"Are you SO certain of that, Hedgehog?"

"Awww~ Sonic! You do care!"

"Oh no…."

Sonic halted himself, his legs forced stop as his ears flung back to hear the noise better, before he turned around, "Eggman!" He cried out, seeing the Beast-Bot and Amy contained within its right eye. "A-Amy..?"

"So much for 'fine on her own'." Shadow got ready to fight after making his witty comment, as Silver beside him also prepared himself.

He seemed to power up his aura, looking dead-set on helping the girl.

"Listen here, hedgehogs! I feel a bit intimidated by how the numbersare stacking up against me! Either quit your search for me, or your little vagabond here gets to pay the cost!"

The creature swung its right eye up, as Amy yelped a bit in fright and looked around, placing her hands on the hard plastic looking glass. "SOOONICCC!"

Sonic clinched his teeth, frowning, before suddenly showing a cocky grin. "Woah, looks like the big, scary Egghead is getting hard-boiled over a little turn of events. Is that it, Eggman?"

"I wouldn't mock my efforts, Sonic! You wouldn't want your little girlfriend turning into a nice little SNACK for my Beast-Bot!"

The Beast-bot roared a screeching cry, mimicking a lion and then morphing into a wolf's howl towards the end.

Lifting its head down from it's cry, the gang began to hear gears turning and clinking from within it.

"It's… robotic?" Silver stated, as Eggman once again laughed from within it's speakers.

"Dissolve and disband, or I'll have her life in my hand!"

The Beast-bot's eyes began to shine a light red, almost pink color, as Amy felt the glass burn her hands. "Y-ouch!" she pulled her hands away and felt the heat searing through her boots.

"Ah! Hot-hot-hot-hot!" she bounced from one foot to the other, but since she got up, and the room wasn't very much, she had to slightly slouch forward, making the top of her bangs, the first of the three quills, steam and make a slight hissing noise as it touched the glass.

"eeeeeEEEEEEKKKKK!" Amy moved back and wobbled her arms, without the glass as a leverage to hold onto, the circular structure within this robot's eye made it difficult for her to keep her balance. "SOOONIICC! HELP!"

"Enough!" Sonic shouted out, swinging his arm out to make it more dramatic.

"Very well…."

The heat went down, and soon it was just warm to the touch. Amy squat down, getting her balance again.

Sniffling in a bit of fear, she wrapped her arms around her knees and dress, looking around the small space to make sure it was really safe.

"First the rhyme, and now this. Heh, this has to be the most evilest I've seen you be all year, Eggman!"

"Sonic! Don't-" Shadow began, before Sonic cut him off.

"What? Don't EGG him on?" he joked, hitting him lightly a few times with his elbow and laughing.

"This is serious!" Silver whispered to the side of him, "Are you taking your friend's life lightly?"

"Sonic, she's in danger." Shadow spoke up, and Sonic looked back, rolling his eyes.

Sonic's eyes looked back to Silver's comment, and smiled kindly toward him.

"Play along." He instructed the two, looking at them both before turning back to Eggman.

He placed his hands on his hips, holding his chest out in confidence, as he spoke louder, and continued.

"When is she not in danger? You guys haven't spent years in these kinds of situations, so I'll let you're seriousness and concern slide this time. But watch and learn~" he winked, and dashed up to the Beast-Bot.

Not sure what his game was, the two realized he wasn't being neglectful or cruel, it was more that, or so it seemed, he was trying to trick Eggman out of concentrating on her for a moment, and focus more on himself.

By targeting Eggman's ego, Sonic was now the center of attention to Eggman, and he wasn't concerned with frying Amy as much so as he was with getting Sonic.

"W-what are you doing!? Cease trying to find me and break up you're little 'boy band' or she'll-!"

"YEESH, do you EVER stop talking?"

Sonic dived straight into the Beast-Bot's mouth, and spin dashed into the speaker.

"NOOOoooooo!-Bzzzzz….."

"That oughta do it!"

The speaker went out as Sonic stood in front of the Beast-Bot, it shaking its head and wiping its face with its metal clawed paw.

"Woah!" Amy shouted, being moved around with the head, but at least it wasn't hot anymore…

"Sonic!"

"Hang on, Amy! I'm coming!"

Silver and Shadow took their respected sides beside Sonic, as the battle was just beginning.

"Shadow, make sure to keep an eye out for that red light! I don't wanna go home with a roasted friend!"

"Hmph. Shouldn't that be your job?"

"Wait… did he call her you're girlfri-?"

"Silver! Keep the head occupied while I look for a weak spot!" Sonic cut him off, and then raced toward the robotic beast. "Keep up!"

"Urk! R-right!" Silver dropped the subject and quickly flew out towards the Beast-Bot.

From its large muzzle, the Beast-Bot opened its mouth and that same redish pink light beamed a plasma ray that the hedgehogs barely dodged.

"Woah! Keep an eye on that too!" Sonic stated, as he got off of one knee from rolling out of the way, and then raced behind the creature.

"Are you making eye jokes because of-" Amy was about to state, but she suddenly noticed Sonic zip by her and give her a wink, before charging away from another beam that shot forth out at him.

She rolled her eyes; he was SO making the pun.

Shadow used his Chaos spears and tried to aim for its face. The strategy was slightly working as the head had no time to look back and deal with Sonic while Shadow was firing at it from the opposite side.

Silver tried to rip it apart from the top, taking its head and then its body and trying to sever it.

Sadly, the Beast-Bot felt the disturbing pressure and sent shiny spikes flying all around it.

"Look out!" Sonic jumped and bounced from shard to shard before purposefully slamming into Silver, moving him out of the way from one of the shards.

Crashing to the ground, Sonic shook his head and looked up, "Okay… new plan…" He looked to the shards.

"Silver?" He turned back, seeing Silver a little ways away from him, shaking his head and wobbling to his feet.

"T…thanks, Sonic…" he stated, weakly.

Sonic gave him a thumbs up, and then pointed to some shards next to him. "Think you can jam those back in?" he smiled, turning back to see Silver getting the idea too.

"Count on it!" Silver moved his arms out and began to lift the shards up. "Just tell me where to plunge them!" he said with enthusiasm, raising his arms up, as a swarm of the scattered shards lifted into the air like ten crystal spears.

"Sonic!" Shadow cried, as the Beast-Bots eyes began to glow again, as it looked a bit beat up, shaking up and down as if the Beast was trying to breathe, when obviously it didn't have air to begin with.

"I-Bzzzzz-Warned Y-Bzzzz."

The broken speaker flickered on slightly, as Amy began to feel the heat start up again. "AHHH!"

"Amy!"

"Quick, Silver!" Shadow jumped on the creature's head, as it shook to try and shake him off, but he held on and grabbed its ear. "There!"

He pointed to a ripped fraction near its neck, revealing the clockwork of the interior gears within its metallic being.

"Right, I see it." Silver lowered his head, glaring towards the spot indictated.

Taking the shards, he held them all around the neck line, placing them like a collar above the Beast-Bot.

They hovered, as Silver waited for further instruction.

Shadow jumped down, and picked up a spear that was hovering, thrusting it down with him like a speeding dart, stabbing the Beast-Bots paw to keep it from moving or dodging out of the way.

The creature roared and howled again, summoning new shards and blasting them out again.

"Sonic! Watch yourself!" Shadow warned, seeing some shards deliberately aimed at him.

Silver dodged, barely getting skimmed by the bulleting force of the shard. "Woah!"

"Huh?" Sonic looked to see a shard coming his way. He jumped to curl into his ball form, and rolled along the shard's flat plain, bouncing off of it and on to another and another.

However, still in ball form, a shard he had missed traced too close to his edge while he was trying to roll along its surface to escape damage.

He was cut, as blue quills flew off to the side, like a saw to metal and the fire sparks that occurred through that.

He came bouncing down, uncurled, and clutched his side with his hand.

"Urk.. miscalculated…" his eye twitched, he had landed safely enough, and was now holding himself up on one knee.

Moving his hand to see that the cut traveled from his side and then up across a bit of his arm, he tsked.

"Dang." The cut wasn't too deep, but since he was in a ball, the cut traveled a bit farther than it would have out of his ball form.

"SONICC!" Amy was now hopping on toe to toe again, trying to desperately not have her boots melt under the intense heat. "It's like an easy bake oven in here!"

"Pretty soon, here we're gonna have a baked hog-pie!" she shouted, looking frantic in the fact that they hadn't gotten her out yet.

Looking back, Sonic glared and cletched his teeth, seeing he was only wasting time.

"Sorry, Amy." The aching sting of injury followed his movements as he got himself upright, "I'm usually not this slow."

"I'll say! Ahh!" Amy held her head, seeing as her bangs were starting to burn at the tips, and she quickly licked her fingers and put them out.

Forming two fists with her hands, she put them up near her face, and shouted, "SOOONNICC!"

"I need him immobilized!"

Sonic looked to Silver, then saw Shadow had impaled the Beast-Bot's paw, and nodded back to Silver. "Or maybe the two of you are already on it." He sweat dropped, and then took on a more serious expression, still smiling though.

"Then I'm the one who needs to step up!"

He dashed as quick as light speed over to another shard, taking a second to pick it up, but cutting a bit of the palm of his hand and flinched an eye, not fully realizing how sharp these polygon edges could be. Ignoring the pain, and moving with a gust of wind at his heels, he carried the shard forward, shouting out a battle cry as he jumped and impaled another shard into its other paw.

The creature roared in defiance, and looked to Sonic, opening its mouth, it started to store up the plasma beam again, which it had been shooting Silver and Shadow with this whole time.

"Hang on, Amy!" Shadow called out, keeping the other shard in place with both hands, having them also cut up pretty badly too. He twitched his eyes a few times, but fought off the pain to keep the Beast-Bot still and unable to move.

Sonic had to keep the shard in its paw like Shadow, or it could break free and the shards hovering above wouldn't have a direct line to slice through.

With a bit of horror and feeling the clock ticking away, Sonic suddenly saw Silver have all the Shards in position, having added more from the many times the Beast-Bot shot them off his back.

"DO IT!" he cried out, as Silver nodded, sweating and trembling some from the weight of all the shards he was using his mind to hold up for so long.

At last, he threw his arms back, "Hold on, here it comes!" and forced his hands down, crying out as well at the effort that endeavor had required.

The shards pierced the Beast-Bot's neck, all like a star with many different angles that it came into, a perfect clean cut.

Now he truly looked like a lion, having each large shard resemble a broken spiky mane, before the head started to flicker with electrical circuits, and the red in its eyes slowly blinking out, before the face finally dropped off, the head crashing down on it's left side.

The last minute had the body struggle, before it finally came down as well.

"Amy!"

Racing over to Amy; Sonic, Silver, and Shadow spin dashed into the hot plastic glass.

With all their combined force, the glass bended from the heat and pressure, and finally snapped off its hinges, shattering and denting itself inward.

"Amy?!" Sonic shouted, seeing her lying down with her eyes shut and not moving.

He reached in, and his hand could feel the soaring heat from within.

His eyes widened and his teeth stayed tightly clenched to each other. The others helped him drag her out.

"She's warm to the touch…" Silver stated, worry filling his eyes as he removed his hand, and looked to the other two.

Eye-pupils twitching in fear of losing yet another life before his eyes, Shadow search the area, and finally saw a lake in the distance. "Sonic!" He looked over to him, as Sonic seemed a bit shaken, and looked over to him.

"Do you have a Chaos Emerald?"

Tossing him one, Shadow rose it up towards the lake, "Chaos… Control!"

Water was teleported from the lake and reappear over Amy.

Gravity took its course and the water fell on her, waking her up as she coughed and shook her head free of the wet cold.

"Whew…" Sonic let out the air he had been holding back, and gently breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Heh, aren't you a sight for sore eyes…"

"R-really..? A-…another eye joke..?" she grinned, breathing deeply too, since the oxygen in the eye had faded fast from the heat.

Seeing as Sonic was more concerned about Amy, Shadow tried to tuck the Chaos Emerald away, keeping it close,… just in case.

However…

"I saw that!" Sonic ran at such light speeds, taking the Emerald from Shadow as he twitched an eyebrow. "We have to save whatever Chaos Energy these emeralds have left." Sonic explained, holding it out in front of him, and having raced back to his spot.

"Amy, you were almost burned alive! Why did you follow us after I had warned you of the danger ahead?" Silver worriedly remarked, bending down like Sonic had to counsel her. "You could have been killed! It would have been my fault…"

"Our faults." Shadow looked over to Silver, as if correcting him in a kind manner. He seemed to let Sonic's antics slide and focus on the topic once more at hand… finding it odd how Amy was becoming a more talked about subject than Eggman and Tails's whereabouts was…

"We should have seen this coming. Why didn't you do something about it when you had the chance?" Shadow glared over to accuse Sonic, as he looked pinned up against a corner, and looked away, a look of guilt across his face.

"Well… I wouldn't have…" Amy coughed, slowly rolling over to her back, being on her stomach and looking up at them in front of her, before moving to face them, and having her arms supporting her back as she lifted herself slightly up.

The boys all quickly reached out to help her stay up, but seeing as they all moved at once, they looked to each other, and Sonic and Shadow moved to let Silver ease her up, as the other two turned to each of her sides, left and right, and helped her there.

Her legs spread out to balance her up even further, as she sighed at the effort to do so. Feeling the nice cool water underneath them, she leaned her head up and smiled, sighing at the feel of coolness below her.

"If you would…." She took some deep breaths. "Let me come in the first place." She jokingly gave a smile to Sonic, "Strong, huh?"

"Independent."

Sonic teased, slightly smiling and narrowing his eyes at her, as if that statement was a joke in and of itself now.

But wishing he could keep a straight face, he leaned back and folded his arms, sitting down next to her. "But that's obviously been over-turned, now… hasn't it?" he gave her a look that showed he knew he was right, and was waiting for her to apologize instead of himself.

"Every five minutes." He repeated his words from before, letting them sink in as her eyes widened, and she looked down, her expression lost in shadows.

"I tried to tell you to stay back, Amy… but you never listen…" he shook his head.

Amy remained silent.

"Still," Sonic didn't like the way she was acting. "I'm glad you're safe."

Under normal circumstances, she would have quickly spat out a comeback, or angrily drawn her hammer at the statement, but this silent melancholy made him worry.

"This is no time to joke around, Sonic!" Silver intervened, seeming to get more and more involved in this than he rightfully should. Though, never once having even met the girl before, it appeared to be the hero in him coming through, which was worrying about the state of this little innocent girl.

"We can't keep worrying about your friend. It's time you take her home, where she'll be safe." He narrowed his eyes, as if he had some authority on the matter, as Sonic looked a bit surprised by his rash intercession.

"I'm sorry." Sonic glared back a defiant look to Silver, and leaned forward. "But I wasn't under the impression she was your responsibly."

"Both of you, quit it." Shadow snapped at the two, his head jerking back and forth amongst them, as Amy tucked her weakened legs closer to her body, realizing she was the source of all this yelling and fighting.

Shadow looked at her demeanor, and took on a softer voice, but with still a harsh tone. "

"We can't keep wasting our time babysitting." Shadow got up, speaking bluntly, though it probably came off a little too harsh with her present to hear his words.

Having his arms folded, he stared down at her, "Like I said before, I don't need any of you to carry out my objective. You'll be nothing more than a nuisance to me." He then looked up at the two other hedgehogs, showing that his statement wasn't just concerning Amy's being there.

"Go." He looked down to Amy, who twitched, realizing he was probably addressing her directly now. "We have no need of a straggler here."

It seemed all the hedgehogs besides Sonic we're trying to show authority over Amy.

Sonic looked the two hedgehogs over, before smiling, leaning back and placing two arms behind his head, chuckling…

"Something you find funny, Sonic?" Shadow almost growled out at Sonic's previous ridiculous actions.

Amy peeked out from her huddled up stature to see what he was doing.

"Well, yeah." Sonic started, closing his eyes as he looked up. "I mean, aren't we wasting more time by trying to convince her otherwise?"

He smiled down to her, and winked.

As Amy, who had her ears bent a bit in submission saw him notice her watching, ducked her head back down, ashamed, she slowly perked her ears back up… before looking again back at Sonic.

"After all." Sonic got up, and stared Shadow down, as Silver could almost feel the authority radiating out of his very stature and look towards him.

"I won't let anyone take Amy's agency from her. Everyone has a right to a will unbreakable, and I feel it my job to make sure her's stays that way."

Shock and wonder filled her eyes, as her mouth slightly opened to gape at his words, swishing her head up to cause her quills to sway with the action, as she gazed upon her hero…

Shadow deepened his frown, "Emm…" he seemed to not want to argue any further about this, and nodded. "Very well. But she'll be your problem from now on." Shadow gestured a hand that swiped through the air, as if figuratively tossing the burden of watching Amy into Sonic's hands.

Sonic kept his smile, before looking down to Amy, and extending out his hand. "Just don't go sneaking into any robot's eye sights from now on, alright?"

She huffed, hearing another eye pun before smiling and nodding. "I promise."

She took his hand, but fell back slightly while trying to get up.

Silver helped her by pushing gently against her back, allowing her enough force to stand and get into Sonic's arms.

"Thank you, Silver." Sonic winked, and held Amy up as she clung to him.

"It might be safer to let her come along, anyway. After all, Eggman doesn't give up easily, and sadly, neither does Amy…" He closed his eyes, having a sweat drop on the side of his face as he twitched a cracked chuckle and fake smile, feeling Amy's flames come back and swarm around her in her rage.

Not wanting to see her expression from her emotions, he just tried to seem content.

"Have you lost your head like that robot?!" Shadow finally broke from his composed look, turning around and pointing to the Beast-Bot's head as Sonic let one eye open slightly to smirk at Shadow. "She'll only slow us down!"

"Us?" Sonic teased, "You mean you want to come along now~?" he tilted his head, and pouted a fish face, cooing as if to a child, and grinned unspeakably annoyingly as Shadow twitched and turned away again, walking back to the edge of the island, anger also circling his face with each silent growl.

"Any further objections, Silver?" Sonic looked up to Silver, smirking, as if he knew no one had the energy left to fight him on this anymore.

Silver just looked away, another sweat drop was found on the side of his face as well.

Finding some joy in causing Shadow and Silver some distress, he stated once more, smugly, "You said you could carry us over the sea, correct? Silver?"

"W-well…" Silver looked to Shadow, fuming with rage, and then to Sonic. "I suppose…"

"Then, do you feel you could also carry Amy around too? Or would that exert your energy too much?" Sonic cocked an eye brow up, picking Amy up bridal style, not daring to look down at her, and seeming to challenge Silver's strength.

Silver flinched, his eyelids twitching up at him questioning his abilities, and stomped a foot down. "I-I can do that and more! I'll… I'll do my best to get us all over safely. But by then, I'll need to rest." After a minute of losing his composure, he regained it, and continued to feel awkward about the situation.

Looking at Amy's hurt self, he wondered why she wasn't willingly wanting to depart and go back to safety…

"Then it's settled." Sonic got up, groaning a bit and stretching with his legs, leaning his head back to stretch out his neck. "She's just gonna have to tag along then!"

As Sonic was stretching, Amy noticed the scratch from his side, and then the continuation of it upon his arm.

Gasping, she wiggled in his arms and tried to reach out for his arm, "Sonic! You're hurt!" She completely didn't even hear his last sentence as she got out of his grasp, and turned to the side which was scratched up. Her body was still soaking wet, and so Sonic just held out his empty hands she was once standing in, having struggled with her to keep her there, he finally just let her out and stood in his wet, miserable state.

"It's fine, Amy. Don't-.. H-hey!" Sonic struggled a moment to get away and out of her grasp, but she had a firm grip on the arm and was looking over the wound, so making any attempt at an escape was futile by that point.

"Did that monster do this to you?"

"What else?" Shadow growled, keeping his back turned from the team as he knew that he was defeated in trying to take this mission on alone.

He admitted that perhaps without Silver and Sonic's help, Amy could have been severely burnt, or worst, and consigned to simply follow them to wherever Eggman may be.

Besides… Eggman keeps popping up wherever Sonic goes anyway,… this could be his best option at finding out what Eggman's up too…

Amy studied the injury carefully under Sonic's attempts to wiggle away or reassure her that everything was alright, before looking across the way to Shadow's still look in the breeze of the floating island's edge…

She thought about what he had said… about every five minutes he'd have to look to make sure she was safe, and lowered her head, those same shadows crossing her eyes and leaving her expression a mystery.

She let go of Sonic's arm, as he was scratching the back of his head, before looking away and tapping his shoes at her looking him over.

Feeling the loss of her control over his arm, he blinked his eyes, and looked down to her. "Honestly, Amy... I'm fine! No need to worry yourself over it!"

"Maybe Shadow's right… I'll only get you guys into more trouble…"

All their eyes were now fixed on Amy.

Silver's ears fell slightly, his arms folded now, he felt a bit bad for her, knowing it was slightly true.

Shadow looked down, seeing as her feeling may have been hurt by his words, but simply closed his eyes.

Rather than addressing it, he concluded to dropping the subject all together so they could all move on, and looked back over the horizon in front of them from the floating island's standpoint.

"Amy…" Sonic moved a hand under her chin, shocking her as he pulled her face up to look at his.

He studied her eyes for a moment, and then tilted his head, smiling with closed eyes as he stated, "A moment ago, I would have been very grateful for that statement, but now… Eggman's got you in his sights. Let's not bicker over this and that anymore and just go on an epic quest together! The four of us!" he looked up and gestured with both hands out to everyone, including Shadow and Silver, and then back to Amy.

"We may need you, I don't know how, but it could happen. So? Why risk not having you around, eh? Come on!" He got up and picked her up again, which took her by surprise as he held her once more.

"Like old times, eh?" he winked, showing a kinder side, seeing as she's probably had a pretty rough day, and he didn't mean it to go this south.

Amy couldn't help but smile, she felt bad about the injury, but couldn't help but blush at Sonic's kind words to her. "I'll…I'll try my best." She grinned back, but more shyly this time.

Maybe Sonic wasn't so bad after all. He had avoided her all day, but maybe he was realizing he couldn't do that forever.

Sonic nodded, "Good. That's all we could ever ask of you. And Amy…"

For a second, the two stared long and hard at one another…

"You're not useless. And you're not a pain to have around, either. This scratch isn't because of you."

At that moment, it was probably the kindest thing Sonic could have said to her.

Seeing she needed it, he just looked up and away a moment, a little embarrassed, as she hugged his neck and repeated his name in her crying antics again, overcome by her love for him once more.

He just chuckled, grinning goofily, but was happy she was back to her normal self again.

"Don't push me into that comment." Shadow turned his head back around to them, glaring… before closing his eyes and turning back to face the ocean. "I don't share in your sentiments of comfort."

"Oh?" Sonic looked over to Shadow, his mouth shaped like an 'o' at his statement, as Amy looked sorrowfully out to him as well.

"Heh, someone's in a foul mood." Sonic mocked, and then laughed, looking down to Amy, "Hey, you think..?" he then looked to Silver, "You think he's got girl problems?"

Silver stepped back, sweat dropping, and not wanting to get involved in making Shadow even more upset, but Amy and Sonic started to laugh, as an anime anger mark pulsed on Shadow's head.

"Maybe he only has two emotions! Pouty and grumpy! Haha!" Sonic continued, making Amy laugh even more.

"That's quite enough you two-! Ah…" Shadow spun around, fists out, before realizing something…

Sonic was laughing, but it didn't seem like a hardy laugh. In fact, most of his attention was down at Amy, one eye open to examine her, as she was bursting out laughing and looking cheerier than ever.

Shadow's eyes widened, suddenly realized that Sonic's mocking and teasing had only been to stir some joy in the girl, bringing her out of her misery from feeling unwanted and a nuisance.

"…Hmph." He suddenly saw Sonic's good heart, and allowed the mocking… if it meant that she would smile and laugh her cares and worries away.

Silver didn't understand, but when he saw Shadow's anger pass, he wondered why.

Looking back to Sonic placing his forehead close to Amy's laughing head, them both closing their eyes and letting the moment take them, he soon found himself deeply curious and almost drawn to their happy atmosphere the scene created.

"…What… makes her so happy… being with him?" he wondered out loud, as Shadow raised his head, a serious but calm expression now replaced his angered rage, and the same question also on his mind…

Amy finally teams up with the elite Super hedgehogs! But Tails is still missing! Eggman is still eviling! What will our heroes do next? And when will they ever get off this floating Island? Find out! Next time on!Sonic Supers!

(Wow, they really gave Amy a hard time xD haha, it almost seemed a little too cruel and insensitive… -I tend to write the boys being kinda aggressive, just cause that's in their nature to dish out tough love when they're only wanting to keep you out of harms way. I have two older brothers, and a few guy friends, so I can atest to this.- but I hope the way I rewrote it is a little better than the first draft : ) on to the next ones~)
