Sonic Supers
Chapter 5
By: Cutegirlmayra (We're finally getting to Super Amy! So excited! I just… you know… hope nothing will go wrong... -Future Write Up: I'm trying to now include more game-scenes that I wanted. Less anime. Sorry if you miss the abridged series XD I think it's better without it... actually... trying to make it more 'a serious story' than a silly one. Thanks for re-reading the new, improved version everybody! I hope you still enjoy it :))
Eggman mounted the seat to his control panel, literally leaping over it to sit down, using the left armrest to propel himself up to get over the obstacle. Leaning forward, he scowled as his beady glasses beheld the energy signal, one that had never before been recorded on his monitors before…
"What on earth..?" he breathed out. Growling in defiance, he formed his right hand into a tight fist and slammed it down on a big red button.
Within the prison cell lab, the three hedgehogs and chained fox all wobbled from the gun being lifted out, rising towards the top which parted in a circular swirl to the top of airship, being now exposed to the rapid, harsh wind against it.
"Oh no!" Tails fell to his knees and gripped the side of a computer panel, being pushed down by the wind turbulence that was rushing into the newly found empty space. Design plans flew everywhere and out the open rift up-top the ship. "He's planning to shot it!"
"Amy!" Sonic shouted out, putting both hands on the tube's surface and looking up, worried. His cool was lost by his panic, as he once again tried to spin dash his way out of the container he was in, but it was no use.
His rapid homing attack only had him bouncing around the clear-cased container, and he was soon back on his hands and knees, eyes closed at his helplessness inside the cylinder tube.
He twitched at how pathetic he was for not being able to help her...
"A-Amy?" Tails looked to Sonic. "You don't mean… Amy's gone Super!" he cried out, panic also in his eyes now, as he looked up. "She's never controlled Chaos before! One wrong thought… one ill feeling… and she's done for!"
"We're done for…" Shadow responded, keeping his balance as the ship shifted into gear and started to turn toward the energy signal, angling itself about to face the on-coming threat.
"We have to believe in her!" Silver shouted out, but even he showed his lack of faith in his words, as his wavering gaze slowly shifted to the ground. "We have too…" his hand slid from the surface of the containment tube, as did his voice, turning weaker and weaker as he spoke.
Sonic banged his fist against the tube's floor again, "Amy…!" he kept his eyes squinted, before looking down, and then back up, breathing heavily. His eyes scanned the faint view of the sky above him.
The gun had mostly obscured the view of it, but Sonic kept looking, in his heart he felt dread come over him. He should be the one saving her, not the other way around..!
"W-woah!" Amy steadied her flight, wagging her arms like a big doggy paddle for a moment in the sky, before regaining her straight course. "Phew, this might take a minute…" she refocused and looked ahead, squinting her eyes at the wind being pushed forcefully against her eyes and body.
"…Eggman..? That's it! That's Eggman's ship!"
Finally, she spotted the airship, and saw the massive gun upon it's broad shoulders.
"What's that?" she questioned, seeing it gleam in the sunlight, and the clouds pass through it as though fluffy masses of mist.
"Sire! Y-you won't believe this!" Orbot spoke out, looking stunned at his readings.
"What are you blabbering about-!...hmm!" Eggman looked over for a second, before his whole face shone of surprised shock. He didn't believe it at first, as he pushed Orbot's small frame out of the way and to the side to get a closer look.
Within the monitor, Amy, along with her hammers swirling around her being, was flying directly to them.
"…Amy..?" he breathed out, flabbergasted.
"Woa-ho! When did she decide to go blonde!" Cubot jumped back in surprise, and then scratched his head in confusion, gesturing his arms out for an answer. "Kinda makes her look different."
"It can't be… only the pure of heart can turn Super!" Eggman roared, getting up and looking out his window, wanting to see it with his own eyes. "Amy's too selfish. There's no way the chaos emeralds would of accepted her! Unless…" he turned back around, placing his hand to his chin and stroking his mustache, thinking…
"Could it be… that the chaos emerald somehow… aided her, in her transformation?" he looked where the gun was, up-top. "Hmm…" his mustache flicked up to one side of his face. "Nah, bah, humbug!" he tossed his arms forward in a sign of rejecting the overall idea. "She just got lucky!" he stated, and sat back down. "No matter, she'll be excellent target practice for my latest invention!"
"You mean, G.U.N's latest invention-GAHGAHH…" Cubot turned around to make a comment, but Eggman had grabbed his robotic stem of a neck and squeezed, shaking him around like a chicken.
"What was that?" he stated, pulling Cubot up to his face.
"N-nothing, D-D-Doctor Eggman, s-sir." Cubot spoke out, twiddling his fingers with each other, looking intimidated.
"Good…" Eggman let him down in spite, and then looked forward, putting his hands together and letting them roll off one another. "Prepare to fire."
"B-B-B-But Eggman! She's just a child!" Orbot protested, looking at the monitor, then back to him.
"Pfft, that girl has been a pain in my keister since the day that hedgehog first laid eyes on her! Now do as I said! Besides… she may live… maybe.." he shrugged, a sort of humorous smile on his face as he put a hand up to his chin, thinking the probability of those numbers in his head.
Amy saw the weird canon like gun begin to charge, and heard faint screams of pain from the inside. Stopping her advance, she worriedly shook her eyes back and forth to try and find the source of the cries. "…Sonic?"
Inside, the upright tubes had a strange ring of power moving down it at varying speeds, as Sonic, Shadow, and Silver let out painful cries of agony. They began to lose power as they slowly found themselves slipping to the ground of the tube.
"Guys! Wha… oh no… oh no no no!" Tails leaped off his knees and tried to run to them, but felt the chains hit their limits. He turned around, trying to find a way through the computer to destroy or deactivate it. "No, no, no!" he slammed his fist on the panel, and lowered his head. "It's no use! This is only blue prints and data frames! This has nothing to do with what's controlling it! Sonic…" he turned back around, looking at his helpless friend fall to his elbows, lifting a head up to try and fight the pain and draining sensation, and soon, to the ground on his stomach, looking to be passed out. "I…I can't help you… I… I'm so sorry…" he too, then fell to his knees again in helplessness, not baring to watch any further, and turning his head down with the color in them faded at his inner turmoil.
"Silver! Shadow!" Amy frantically dashed forward, gripping her two hammers as they flew into her hands instinctively. "EGGMAN!" she screamed, zipping through the air like a comet. "GIVE ME BACK MY FRIENDS!" she got ready to attack, when the gun was charged fully, and the Master Emerald shone, having its power drained now.
"Hurry! She's advancing you buffoons!" Eggman cried out, as Orbot gulped, and hit the button.
A ball of power shone around the outside of the gun's hole, as then a beam shot forth, and Amy stopped in her tracks.
With a fear stricken face, she put her two hammers up, to try and dodge the hit by blocking it.
All was silent as the blast hit, unable to have time to even dodge it, and all was light from the massive blast that hit directly to it's target.
"Hmph, nothing could have survived that." Eggman concluded, sitting back, looking a bit at peace but mostly his face was disgruntled. "Now.. how do I tell Sonic the news?" he grinned, lifting a finger up. "I mean, three of the most powerful hedgehogs have just had their inner chaos and strength absorbed, then combined into one massive killing machine! There's no possible future for the girl to dream of now." he put a leg up to his knee and tapped it, laughing villainous."They should have given me the emeralds when they had the chance!"
Suddenly, the light faded, as a small pink figure hung in the distance. Her arms we're down, as smudges of burnt fur we're all over her in little patches. She was breathing heavily, and her eyes began to turn from an orange… to a ring of red.
"That's… that's impossible!" Eggman arose from his chair, as Amy's anger grew.
"...You tried..." the red around her eyes glowed a moment... as if threatening to seep into her pure orange color. "To kill me..."
"Alright… you let me see your power… now let me show you my own…" with that, she put her hammers in an X mark over her frame, and curled up slightly. Charging the rest of her power, which there still was a lot left over thanks to the Master Emerald's aid, and blasted forward, tearing through the ship's hide like paper.
She looked to the robots that we're just making their rounds in the inner walls, as they turned to her in surprise.
She landed with great force, as the floor dented, one knee bent as the other stretched out and her two hammers still in hand.
She smiled, the ring of red around her eyes grew slightly thicker, but her orange still remained, as she lifted her head, ready for some destruction.
She began thrashing her way through the ranks and lines of robots, all firing or swinging their massive arms at her. They we're like butter to the butcher's knife…
She slashed and smashed and hustled her way past the enemy as she tore through the walls, her light ever shining, as she tried to find her way to her friends. "Now.. if I was a big, dumb egghead… where would I keep…" before she could finish, she flew directly up next to a large map, which stated, YOU ARE HERE. Along with that, we're small directional arrows and markers, indicating what led where, and each room had a name on it.
"Oh, convenient." She let one hammer down, which resulted in a great big, THUNK, denting the floor. "Hmm…" she traced her now free hand's finger from the YOU ARE HERE dot all the way to the corresponding halls. "Room of Doom…. Artillery… bathroom… spa? Oh wait! Ah-ha! Here we go! Hedgehog containment room with Lab operating systems. Huh." She tilted her head, and then looked to where she could find the quickest way to it. "Alrighty then." She smiled, and picked her hammer back up.
Before she could take another step however, a deep metal growl was heard.
Turning around, she saw three metal hounds, all looking incomplete, as gears could clearly be seen moving through them. "Heh, I've destroyed all of Eggie's toys so far, and now, he's gone to using his 'in-progress' minions, is that right?" the dogs snarled and barked, snapping at her as oil spat out like spitted drool.
"Well, it's your scrapyards, mates." She grinned, and then stopped a moment. "I can't believe how violent I'm getting…" she gripped her head, concern filling her eyes… The red ring dimmed…
The three began to advance, before leaping out at her.
There were snarls and jaws snapping, as Amy flew backwards, away from them, and narrowed her eyes, her teeth gritted tight as she rose her head up, and her eyes turned even more red...
"Hyah!" She suddenly charged them, as all that was seen were robot pieces being swung with a powerful hammer's swing into the air, and whimpers and whines as the pieces of the cogs and bolts in the robotic hounds were flung in the air, oiling splatting out everywhere.
"SHE'S COMING!" Orbot frantically ran down the hall ways. "We have to do something!" he bit at his non-existent nails, "But what!?"
"I know! Let's just give her what she wants! Most problems would be solved if the man just gave in, ya know." Cubot chimed in, lifting his hands up to surrender as Orbot was about to scold him when Eggman went bounding by them.
"Less talk, more hurry!" he shouted, moving down to the hedgehog containment room where the lab also resided.
Amy blast through the wall to the room, as if it was nothing, and dropped a badly damaged robot hound, who had his belly almost ripped completely, as shreds of his wires flung everywhere like snake heads, letting lose electricity on the metal ground. "Eggman, Where is Sonic and my friends?" she spoke out seriously, glaring an intimidating look as she suddenly lost her powerful stare and saw Tails.
"..Tails..!" she ran towards him, compassion filling her heart in relief at seeing him, and raced to help him up.
The red ring dimmed even more, now just a faint outline from her natural orange.
"What's wrong? Are you alright? What'd he do to you?" She tried to move his face to hers, as he slowly blinked his eyes open.
"..A..Amy? You're all… glowy…" he weakly spoke out.
Amy giggled, relieved he was alright. "Just a little change is all, where's the others?"
Tails looked behind her.
She turned to see as well, and gasped.
All three had collapsed to the ground of their capsule, and all three… weren't moving.
"Sonic! Shadow! Silver! No!" Amy got up and took a step to them, reaching out for them, when Eggman's robot fell directly in front of her. "Ahh!" she fell backwards, but quickly flew up, and flung her arm back. A hammer flew over Tails, protectively guarding him.
"What have you done, Eggman! What happened to them!" she glared again, her voice having power and demanding an explanation.
The red ring thickened, spiraling more wider this time again...
"Wohohohohoh! Since when did you think you we're such a big THREAT." Eggman leaned down, yelling at her and laughing at her attempt of sounding frightening to him. "What? You think I'd be scared of Sonic's little FLING?! Did you really think I'd cower at you, of all people, turning Super!? How super can Amy Rose possibly be? WOHOHOHOHO! The very thought of it makes me, heehehhe, hohoho, haha!" he gripped his stomach, laughing.
Amy's serious look died with his mocking demeanor, she could feel her power slipping with each insult and every laugh he muttered out of his old, boastful lips from within her.
Her breathing went deeper as his words crushed her heart, and she looked down a moment, pouting to try and keep her tears that may form back from her stinging eyes now, as if they were ready to show how much that affected her.
She willed herself not too, and closed her eyes, looking up, before opening them in a powerful look of defiance.
"There, there. At least you tried~" he stated, making it look like he pitied her. "I'm sure you tried your best. Now, run along and leave the chaos emeralds on you're way out, whohohohoho!" he wiggled his fingers as if he was shooing a mouse out from under his carpet and showing it the door, and then leaned his head back and banged on his robot's control panel, laughing his head off again. "Really! Of all people! Of all hedgehogs!" he looked back at Sonic, still laying cold at the bottom of his containment tube. "You really we're willing to put your trusts, hehehe, in Amy Rose? What-, what kind of fool are you, Sonic? Silver? Shadow? I'd thought you'd know a bit better than that! WHAHAHAAHA!"
Amy lowered her head again, this time gripping her other hammer, and shook her hand with it wildly, trying to keep her anger together.
I'm not useless.
"It's really pathetic actually! Ah-HAHAHAAH!"
She clinched her teeth even harder. Her eyes covered in shadows.
I'm not pathetic. I'm not weak. I'm not untrustworthy. But I am strong. I am powerful. And yes, I'm… I'm-!
"Amy Rose, do you really think you can beat me? Let alone stand against me? Look at you're heroes, Amy!" he gestured behind himself, extending his arm back and leaning forward, trying to drain every last hope left in her. "Fallen to their faces in my sheer brilliance. I only wish you could of seen the terror on their faces. Hmm-hmph. Ah, I had such a good laugh," he wiped a tear from his eye, then rubbed his finger with it together and flicked it off. "Today's turning out to be such a good day…"
"Shut up."
"Hmm? Beg your pardon?"
"Fight me, then judge me."
"Wait… are you… are you serious right now?"
Amy looked up, her glare deeper and her eyes slowly succumbing to the red that began to invade her brilliant orange eyes like a mist of food coloring when dipped into water.
"HAHAAHAHAH! Cubot, Orbot! Get the camera! Amy suddenly thinks she's hot stuff now!" He looked behind him, laughing, before looking forward toward her and glaring. He didn't like her attitude at the moment, and if the truth be told he was hoping to hide how scared stiff he was. He gripped the handles on the giant robot's control panel and shut the lid. "Well, let's see if you really can control the limitless power of chaos, before it can consume you!"
Amy stood ready, as Tails watched with weak eyes, trying to understand what the deal was with Amy's eyes….
He blinked his own, squinting more and more as he looked to her.
'Sonic and the others all have red eyes when they turn super…' he thought to himself, watching her grow more and more angry, as the power started to manifest itself in a tight tornado around her, streams of yellow power moved around her in the spinning gust of wind.
'…Her eyes… they're orange though.' He observed, as any good scientist and genius mind should. 'What could that… mean?'
The ring of red around her eyes grew more and more apparent, as she took back the hammer from behind her. "Let's do this! ARUGHA!" she jumped up, swinging both her hammers down on the large mecha-robot Eggman controlled.
"Orrph!" he took the brunt of the blow, but the robot was only dented. "HA! Not even your precious Piko Piko hammer can dent MY master piece!" Eggman than launched a very thick line of wires at Amy, it shot her back and pinned her against the wall, the impact causing the wind to be momentarily thrust out of her.
"Amy!" Tails called out, getting up and feeling more oriented now, he tried to look around for something to break his chains with…
In a moments notice, he suddenly had found the robotic torn-up dog, the gears still intact. "Perfect!"
"Whohohohoho!" Eggman pressed a button to the side of him, laughing his signature laugh as a bolt of electricity went soaring through the metal wire and zapped through to Amy, electrocuting her as the thick and heavy wires made sure to wrap around her. She screamed in pain as the shocks hit her, relentlessly going till Eggman took his finger off the button.
He withdrew the large wires with their ends having a band of heavy conductive metal around them, serving as the main attack feature as Amy fell to the ground.
"Heh, and I was slightly worried." Eggman mumbled, seeing as she was no where near as threatening as Sonic or any of the other hedgehogs he had faced in their Super forms.
"Obviously, this is a professionals job, Amy. Why not just surrender and run home now, hmm?" Eggman folded his arms in complete confidence, seeing her struggle to get up, electricity still sparking from bits of her body.
She shook as she got up and glared at him, teeth clinched tighter than ever, eyes now moving inward and outward with the colors of orange and red.
"Aren't you tried, Amy? After all,… this is your first time controlling Chaos, and for so long too… I'm a bit impressed." He continued, unfolding his arms to give her the compliment. "But it won't do you any good…" his voice grew grave, as his evil side began to leak out more. "You can either fight here and lose,… or stick around to see the GLORIOUS establishment of my Eggman Empire!" he threw his arms out wide, and then clinched his hands into a fist and looked at Amy with a crazed open teethed grin.
"Hmm?" Eggman suddenly noticed Amy wasn't on the ground anymore….
"What the..?" he looked around, leaning out a bit of his robot to look around until he suddenly saw a flash of light and frighteningly withdrew back into his robot.
"Geezes! Could of given me a warning that you were ready again! See, this is why you're so unprofessional in all this 'hero saving' business!" he got back into position but by this time Amy had flown around and created a large tornado in the room.
This whipped Eggman's mustache around, and forced him to raise a hand up over himself, as the robot began to falter on its footing slightly, mimicking Eggman's hands.
Landing, she looked determined, holding just one hammer as the other flew around in the wind storm, keeping the momentum up.
"Chaos-!" she put one hand up toward Eggman.
Eggman leaned forward.
What kind of power would Chaos grant her?
And would it be tremendously unlucky for him to have to deal with?
"Control!"
A blast of hammers from Amy's connection with the 'Hammer Space' flung at light speeds out of her hand, poof'ing up for an instant to suddenly zoom through the whirlwind of air, keeping him steady in one place, and flinging themselves at deadly rates into the robot. She had pounded it with a bombardment of Piko Piko Hammers, all flinging out of her hand and rapidly damaging the robot at an alarming rate.
She then closed her hand, and withdrew it back, holding it with her other hand, not even breathing hard as if that didn't even cause her to feel power leaving her.
Eggman took his robot arms down and had a tear drop of worry stream down the side of his face. "Well.. that wasn't TOO bad…"
Amy smiled at his words.
Eggman looked around, and gasped.
The hammers…
were still there.
They had been flung into the wind storm, and were continuing to hit Eggman's robot repeatedly, having not disappeared.
"W-WHAT?!" Eggman shouted in frustration, having his robot wobble from each blow on his left-hand side.
"Alright! Way to go, Amy!" Tails shouted, leaping and swinging his arm up to cheer for her, having the strength to stand once more, now that the wind was circling in a concentrated area and not down on him anymore.
"Now that's clever!" he grinned, and then got back to work as he triggered the gear to loosen the last chain on his ankle. "Hehe! But maybe not as clever as me." He winked, and flew up to Amy. "I'm here if you need-OFFPH!" he was suddenly hit with a hammer, as Amy turned around and gasped.
"Tails!" Her eyes shifted to orange for a split second, and she flew and grabbed him before more hammers could injure him.
Flying to a safe haven behind some lab equipment, she looked him over. "Are you hurt?"
"Y-yeah… but not too much. I'll be fine." Tails stated and rubbed his cheek, "Wow, they sure do hit hard." He was about to say more when Amy cut him off.
"Stay here, it's safer. I have to finish this on my own." She stated with conviction and authority. Getting up, she looked a bit like how Sonic usually presented himself in the thick of battle….
This image she took made Tails instinctively nod his head, as she smiled and winked, another thing Sonic would do, and blasted off.
"Her eyes…" Tails spoke out softly, with a hint of concern in them. "Were completely orange…"
Amy came back to a surprising turn of events.
Eggman had spun his robot in the opposite direction of the whirlwind of hammers, their sounds colliding with his robot made the noise 'Pi-KOH' as they hit, until the storm was subsided by his counter-attack. The Hammer's slowly fell to the ground, or rather, were launched into it.
"Nice try, ROSE. But I'm the real Doctor Robotnik. I'M the true master mind of this pitiful planet!" he swung both robotic arms in front and slightly over the other, and shot out the same wires from before.
Amy gasped, she dodged them quickly, flying as fast as she could and thinking quick to keep ahead of them.
It was like a toy gun trick, with the little cork and string that you would pull back and then fire the fake gun with to have the line and cork shoot out again. Eggman was doing the same thing but at a rapid motion, having the arms fly out to miss Amy by seconds, fall down and hit the ground for a second or two, before being zipped back into position to fire again.
Amy had to do something; in the corner of her eyes she could see Shadow, Sonic, and Silver still unconscious in their prisons.
'Everyone…' she thought in her head, worry grasping her heart as she looked to Tails, looking at her from behind the safety of computers and hard metal desks. '…I…I can't fail. I mustn't let him win!' She gritted her teeth, and flung her arms out.
Two hammers shook slightly on the ground, before being flung up to her side.
She grasped them firmly. "Eggman! You've only seen a third of what I can do!" she slammed the first hammer into the other, and then did the same but on the other side.
The thrashing clashes of their noises brought Eggman's attention, since it caused a huge soundwave.
Eggman looked up in confusion, and then plugged his ears. The massive sound wave carried, causing Tails to also have to plug his ears. "What… is she doing?!" he thought out loud, having to scream to even hear himself.
With a powerful cry, Amy placed her hammers in front of her, one behind the other, and stored up power.
"…ehm… Am…Amy..?" Sonic, slowly blinking his eyes, looked up.
"TAKE THIS!" with fury in her eyes, Amy spread her hammers out, and a huge beam of chaos energy blasted to Eggman.
"It can't be!" Orbot spoke from the sidelines, and looked at a device in his hands. "The energy level is far out-reaching the level of power we collected from Sonic, Silver, and Shadow! Not just that, but the master emerald's power is being picked up on here as well! She's stronger than the Canon!" Orbot blurted out in fright and astonishment.
Tails's ears perked up and his head shot to the direction of Orobt. "It… it can't be..?" he looked up to the canon, where the Master Emerald stayed, dormant from the loss of power. "Could… it be?" he was putting two and two together, his eyes looked down and shook side to side, then he raised his head up, horror in his eyes. "Amy! You have to get out of Super form! Now!"
"But that was without them being Super, right?" Cubot asked, but by then the robot had exploded, all the dents had made its armor weak to Amy's last blow, and the circular head went flying off, having Eggman screaming from within it. His eyes watering with fright and his hands right up against the spinning sphere's clear surface, even with it being broken through, it had enough of the clear glass left to keep him inside and not flinging out of it.
As it crashed to the ground, the sphere opened and cracked, glitching with its movement of opening itself as the control panel started to go on a frizz.
Eggman crawled out, and looked back at the panel, "Uh-oh…." He leaped out of the way with a worried 'EEEEEEEEEii!" as it, too, soon after blew up.
"Darn it all! Darn it, darn it, darn it!" he slammed his fists to the ground, throwing a bit of a tantrum till he saw above him his shadow and a brilliant light behind him. He turned around to witness a powerful looking Amy, breathing hard and holding two burnt out Hammers in her hand, steaming from the force of her last hard blow.
She swung one up to the tip of his nose, causing him to flinch.
"Release my friends!" she ordered, and breathed heavily again.
"Heh..heh…Whatever you say…" Eggman lifted a remote up and clicked a button weakly, his face having an awkward smile on it as he knew he had been beat. To escape further injury, he complied willingly.
The tubes suddenly turned on, and Tails ran over to try and get them out. "Sonic! Sonic, can you hear me?" he pounded the clear outer tube and flew up, then kicked it's top, but to no avail.
"Eggman…." Amy turned her head back to look at him again, her eyes showing no mercy in them.
The red… had almost completely taken over.
"heh.. just… let it process…" he slowly backed up, but Amy spun her hammer around, before slamming the thin stick end part of it's handle into his foot.
"yyyyyYYYYYYEEEOWWW!" Eggman screamed out, and quickly started clicking more buttons on his remote with his thumb.
"OKAYOKAYOKAYOKAY!" he panicked in pain, waving his hand around and having tears spring out of his eyes as the tubes stopped.
"There's a defense mechanism I installed without Tails's knowledge that won't allow me to let them out of the tube…" he sniffed out, after Amy had lifted the hammer's end from his foot.
"What?" Amy's face turned to worry than into a hostile look, as she dashed through the air over to them.
Eggman clutched his foot like a child, rocking back and forth as Orbot and Cubot thought it safe for a moment to come near him. "Are you alright, Doctor?" Orobot asked, but had to dodge a fist that swung downward, aimed directly at his circular head.
"DO I LOOK ALRIGHT TO YOU?! THAT WENCH-" Amy's head turned back to him for a moment. "…THAT… THINGGG!" he changed his wording and pointed to her accusingly. "STABBED MY BIG TOE!"
Cubot flinched, "Not the big one…" he whined out.
Amy moved Tails back, since his efforts weren't working, but did so gently enough.
"Uh, maybe I could reprogram the remote to-" he was heading in Eggman's direction when Amy just moved her hammer back and swung.
The second the hammer even tapped the screen, the tube had shattered. She then dashed in, but it looked more like a teleport with how fast she was moving through the air, to the other two and released them as well. She then flung Shadow over her left shoulder, Silver over her right, and put Sonic behind her back, over her shoulders.
Leaning a bit, she looked to a gapping Tails, amazed by her show of strength.
"What? We need to have them get medical attention right away!" she cried out.
"A-Amy… you're still so strong… even after all that… Even Sonic would be exhausted!" he cried out, fear and confusion crossing his face. "I just… it's not right. Something's wrong." He looked again to the Master Emerald. "… Hmm." He then took on a serious face, and pointed Amy to the Master Emerald. "Try using the chaos energy to revive their power!" he instructed.
"What?" Amy looked up, seeing the emerald was already pretty dead. She looked back to Tails, her eyebrows drawn back in sorrow. "It's all used up, I can't-"
"Amy, listen to me. I have a theory. Before you got here, the Master Emerald let out a huge energy ball. I think it helped you in turning Super. It's apparent with your eyes that you're not really, fully Super! You're like… in a Super limbo!" he tried to explain, all the while, Eggman listened intently, silencing and shushing his robotic and idiotic henchmen.
"I'm…what?" Amy looked confused.
"Just put Sonic and the others down. I think we can give the Master Emerald back its power by having you let it go. Then you can try to turn fully Super again,… if you're still standing…" he muttered the last part and then continued, "Let go of chaos, Amy! It's the only way I can think of to heal Sonic, Silver, and Shadow!"
He had another theory, one more deadly serious than this… If Amy was in this 'limbo' of sorts, then that red in her eyes didn't symbolize normal control of Chaos. Since the Master Emerald, to his logic, might have helped her turn Super, it meant she wasn't fully controlling Chaos…. And if Chaos energy wasn't fully controlled… one wrong move… and Chaos could control her!
He shook his head, he couldn't think of that right now. All he knew, was that the orange was a mixture of the Master Emerald's influence in her transformation, but the red was full Chaos, and the more wild she became, the worst it got… which means it's control… was slowly taking over her.
He had to get her to release it, and see if she could control it all on her own. Otherwise…
He didn't want to think of that right now.
Amy looked to her friends, and put them down. She rubbed her hands over each other in nervousness… she had… saved them right? Proved herself worthy to be able to turn Super, correct? She then looked to the Master Emerald, it's dark green showing its loss of power.
Or… if the Master Emerald did aid her… does that mean…
She still wasn't worthy?
"But… if I give this power up… what if I can't turn Super again without it?" she looked at her hands, feeling the power serge through her.
She liked this feeling…
She formed a fist with her hand, and looked torn.
"Amy… what do you really care about?" Tails looked accusingly at her, the Amy he knew would never have even doubted, nor hesitated about letting power go to aid Sonic.
"Sonic needs you, they all do! Why are you hesitating?"
Amy's head shot up, and her eyes shook in fear.
Why was she hesitating?
Eggman's eyebrows furrowed down, as he stared intensely at Amy. Her image shown in the reflection of his blue beady glasses as he, too, could see the change in her.
Orbot looked to Eggman, not sure what was happening, as he rubbed his hands over each other as well, then looked to Cubot, shrugging to show he didn't understand it either.
Cubot shook his head in response, and looked on toward the strange scene.
"Amy…?" Tails looked confused, as Amy breathed deeply, and felt like she was gonna have a heart attack, looking over her hands as if they weren't her own….
She really had changed… and Tails knew then that it was probably because Chaos had taken too much liberty and power over her, and was starting to possess her…
"Amy… just… breathe." Tails tried to calm her down, motioning with his hands to relax. "It's the chaos… I don't think you could control it on your own… that's why the Master Emerald pitched in its power… I'm not sure how yet, but it temporarily gave you access to Chaos energy. But without a pure heart, it's starting to-"
"Control you."
Eggman spoke up, getting up and looking serious. "If you don't power down now, Amy. That power will continue to infect your soul. You'll start thinking things you'd never dared to think before, it will pollute you with your own filthiness of soul." He swung his arm out, showing emphasis of the importance of his words.
"Right now, you're scared, terrified. So much so that you hesitate to give up your new found power to aid your friends. That's not you, Amy. That's Chaos. And without a pure heart…heh heh heh…" he laughed darkly, placing his hands on his hips as he rocked on his heels a moment, and looked down to Sonic, then making a tight and fixed frown on his face.
"I suggest you do what Tails says, Amy." He then straightened up, and folded his arms. "Wouldn't want Sonic to die from his heart giving out to the extreme stress of having the energy sucked out of it now,… would we?"
Tails took his eyes from Eggman and then back to Sonic.
Amy thought to herself, suddenly hugging her body. '…Then… I'm not… pure enough? Good enough for this power? I can't control it on my own..? Why… why, I don't understand!'
"Amy!" he then looked to her, fear stricken with worry for his best friend's safety. "You have to let it go!"
Amy held her hand close to her, almost as if denying she would, but then slowly,…. She drifted her arm down and lifted her head. She could feel the chaos emeralds in her quills come out, absorbing back their energy as The Master Emerald shown and a misty green wave floated back to its core.
The emeralds shown bright as well, and the chaos emeralds blinked in and out with light in response.
Amy's look turned back to normal, her pink vibrant again, and her now tattered and burnt dress stopped it's rippled effect from the power she once possessed. She fell to her knees, stricken with lack of strength.
"…..Amy."
She looked ahead of her, and reached out, "S-…Sonic?"
Sonic opened his eyes, and smiled, looking up to her. "I knew…. You had it… in you. Good… job, old...girl." he slowly winked to her, and her heart was full of unimaginable joy; and smiled.
Until she realized…
It wasn't her that had fully controlled chaos.
Tails nodded. "Amy, help the chaos energy to go back to them."
She feared controlling Chaos again, after what Eggman said, and looked to him in fear.
Eggman, arms folded and staying silently to the side this time, knowing he was defeated anyway, saw her stare and smirked.
Tails frowned, following her direction and then looking back at her, "Amy. Don't listen to everything he says. You'll be fine. I believe in you too."
"Even after what you just saw?" Eggman looked to Tails, and slightly lost his confident grin. "She almost didn't give it up, Tails."
Tails glared at him, straightening up. "She has too! You even said so yourself. Sonic's heart could fail him at any minute due to lack of strength to keep beating. We have to give them all their strength back." He looked to Amy. "Now." He nodded.
Amy felt the power from Tails's voice, and nodded. She had too… even after what he had saw it do to her…
She had too.
She motioned her arms out, and took a deep breath. Getting up, she wobbled a bit, almost falling face first in front of Sonic, who looked up at her with sad and worried eyes.
She took a strong look and straightened up, "Chaos…." She breathed out.
Eggman grimaced, as Tails further narrowed his eyes, shaking them untrustingly back and forth, looking her over for any more unexpected reactions, but still kept hope apparent in his believing silence.
"Control."
Every so gently, she said her line.
And ever so quietly, the Emeralds shined in response, and the Master Emerald shone till all three hedgehogs were in the air.
In a burst of light, the three were in Super form, and gasping for oxygen.
"W-Woah!" Sonic exclaimed, looking around as he bobbed in the air. "I don't EVER want to feel THAT again!" he humorously broke the tension, as Tails smiled in relief. Eggman moved his mouth to the side in annoyance, but you could tell he was alright with the outcome, and Amy lowered her eyelids.
She had truly saved them… she had saved him.
"W-what happened..?" Silver blinked his eyes rapidly. "Did Amy..?" he turned around to look at her.
His eyes widened, "AMY!" he dashed toward her, embracing her at once.
"Ah!" Amy was slightly taken aback, but smiled weakly as he rubbed his head into her shoulder.
"You're alive!" he shouted out, it seems he had passed out when the gun was being fired…
"Forgive me, … Amy." Shadow flew down in front of her, looking guilty. "I should have never trusted you with Chaos so early. It was poor judgment on my behalf. I'm…. sorry." He looked away in a bit of shame, closing his eyes.
"Geez, what's with all the sappy 'sorrys' Shadow?" Sonic slammed his hand into his back, patting it as Shadow moved forward from the impact, and looked back at him in surprise. "Amy ended up saving the day here. Hehe." Sonic stood like a proud friend, making Amy look away, blushing.
"Wait… you mean… you didn't-?" Shadow looked to Sonic, then Amy.
"Is that true, Amy?" Silver loosened his grip and slightly let her go, trying to look her directly in the eyes or at least have her face him.
"Ehm…hmm…" she slowly nodded in response, and sligthtly bent her ears down in embarrassment. "But it was… um… at a cost." She looked down, then up to the Master Emerald.
"What… do you mean,… a cost?" Silver inquired, but Amy didn't speak anymore after that.
"Well, the parties not over yet! Amy hasn't saved ANYTHING! And neither have you three!" Eggman ran back up to the stairs, making his way to the railing up top. "WHOHOHO!"
Everyone turned their attention to him, all reacting in a surprised but worried way at his reaction, except Sonic, who changed his stance into one that seemed like he was preparing for whatever was coming next.
He stood in front of Amy, and looked protectively over her.
But he wasn't the only one.
Shadow did the same, moving closer to her and to her other side.
Silver pushed her back gently and moved behind Sonic and Shadow, ready to defend her as well.
The Canon flew down as Eggman let the sky show above them as he laughed maniacally.
"Right now! My backup Eggman Army is marching towards some major cities! Hahaha! Soon, every man, woman, and child will be surrendering fearfully to the Eggman Empire!"
"Heh, always a trick up you're sleeve, Eggman? I'm beginning to wonder if you're a doctor, or a mad magician!" Sonic cleverly spoke out, but with confidence.
For someone who had just been in a state of weakness and on the verge of his last heartbeat, he was being surprisingly cheerful and ready for action. But hey, that's typical Sonic for ya.
(Speaking of Typical, this episode wasn't so typical now, was it? Eggman had a deck full of cards and now he's bringing out his last ace! Will our heroes, and new heroine, be able to defeat the armies before they reach the unexpecting and populated cities of Sonic's world? And what's with Amy's eyes!? Is she out of the woods yet? As always, stay tuned for more, Sonic Supers! :D)
