Sonic Supers
Chapter 6
By: Cutegirlmayra1 (So, this is the climatic before the ending/finale to season 1 :D yay! -Future Note: After seeing how short the chapters were, I decided to start combining them. That's why the chapters have been combined :) Also, this has been combined with the season finale. The combos are meant to be apart of the game aspect, thank you for reading season 1 :D)
Amy followed the stream of yellow golden light with her eyes as the three hedgehogs took to the sky, all in their most powerful forms, as they raced to contend with the imposing opposition heading for the nearby cities.
"…I… I want to help." Amy put her hands together, the desire to fly with them resonating ever so strongly within her being.
"...Amy…" Tails walked up, feeling sympathy for the poor girl. He placed a hand on her shoulder and tilted his head down, leaning his whole body slightly over to get a glimpse of her sorrowed face.
Amy's head was down, but the moment she saw the lovingly fox smile to her and laugh lightly she was immediately brought back to her cheerful self, although worry still plagued her thoughts.
"…They're gonna be alright… aren't they?" she asked, smiling.
"Em-hmm. When are they never-ah..! …Well usually." Tails concluded, remembering the events that transpired not long ago.
"…" Amy clinched her hands tighter together, and even with all the signs of chaos in her, Tails wanted to somehow grant her wish…
"Hmm…" he looked back to the ground behind them.
The chaos emeralds we're still there…
He shook his head, 'Bad idea, Tails!' he told himself, and then looked to Amy. 'She's worried, yes. Powerful? Maybe so… but chaos is still too much for her… she'd lose control and it would… it would..!' the more he stared at her face, the more he knew he couldn't hold her back from her longing.
He sighed, and turned to Amy. "If you can… I mean, if you feel strong enough…" he mentally was scolding himself, he was just to sensitive sometimes… "If you're really up for it…"
"Tails…" Amy turned to him, sincerity in her eyes as she spoke out softly, "I'm ready."
Tails lowered his eyelids in concern, but nodded. He then pointed to the chaos emeralds, "Chaos is infinite, the chaos emeralds only need a moment to charge before their ready to be used again… if you can control the newly recharged chaos, without the Master Emerald's influence this time, then you may be able to turn into your Super form again." He explained, but lo-and-behold, Eggman was sneaking off to his control panel, tip-toeing as to not cause any alarm from Amy or Tails.
He held in a snicker as he pushed a button down, and the whole ship began releasing air pressure and the jets flickered on below.
"Wo-woah!" Amy and Tails wobbled to and fro as the air ship began to start taking off.
"Eggman!" Tails turned around, anger in his eyes as Eggman finally let out his evil laugh again, moving his arms up and down in his usual way before peering down with a fierce smile of glee at Tails and Amy.
"Amy, quick! The chaos emeralds!" Tails gathered as much as he could as speedily as he could.
"But… The Master Emerald!" Amy still had some doubts in her mind, she looked to the Airship, still having it trapped in itself.
What if she still needed it?
"We don't have time! Quick! Catch!" He threw some emeralds towards her way, and she caught them, fumbling with them in her hands a bit.
"B-bu-but-ut!" she slowly moved back, and slipped her foot on the edge of the ship. "TAAAAILLLSSss!"
"AAAMMMY!" Tails flew down after her, as Eggman shut the airship carriers entrance. It slowly rose and shut tight, Eggman's 'hoho'ing still could be heard slightly in faint echoes even at it's distance now.
"Tails! TAILS!" Amy reached out one arm for him, since the other was holding a few chaos emeralds. The wind lashed past her, and she realized then that falling felt nothing like flying!
"Got ya!" Tails grabbed the arm and slowly stopped their momentum towards the ground's cruel earth. "Phew… you alright?" He landed her down and they were able to settle for a moment.
"Y-yeah…I-I'm fine.." Amy gripped her head, she looked back down at the chaos emeralds, having been let down to sit on the cold ground.
Something inside her stirred in wishing to try and wield it's power again, something dark and unholy.
She felt like she was in a trance for a moment, as the chaos emeralds shone back their power, showing they were responding to whatever was calling them from within her.
"C…C-haos con.." But before she could reach her hand to grab one and finish her sentence, Tails swiped it out of her hand, making her blink rapidly out of her trance and look up to him. "H-hey! What was that for?"
"You… you looked kind of under a spell…" Tails's eyes showed his concern and uneasiness as he looked down at her, he didn't like what he was seeing in her.
"Amy… I'm worried about the residue of left over Chaos in you… what if it IS negative chaos? I don't want you to hurt yourself…" He stated worriedly. "Or others…"
"I'm fine, Tails. Give it here!" She reached up for it, but he flew slightly up and then drifted back down. "Ah! Tails! Knock it off!" Amy got up, feeling strangely hostile for the chaos emeralds.
"… Do you even realize you have some in your hand?" he looked down to her arm, which seemed to be holding the other chaos emeralds in almost a death grip.
"…Huh?" Amy looked down, it had totally escaped her mind!
"Amy… I'm scared for you. I think you need time to let the chaos seep out of your soul before you try this again." Tails warned, and placed the chaos emeralds down and behind him, away from Amy.
"OOOooooooOOOOHH! We don't have time for this!" Amy let out her signature cry and stomped over to him.
"A-Amy! I'm doing this for your own good-!" Amy pushed Tails to the side, something inside her needed, no… craved the power of chaos once again.
"AMY!" Tails cried out, as the chaos emeralds responded to that power, and rose slowly.
The red one flew up gently in the air, before highlighting her face in the shadows of the forest they had landed in. Amy moved her hands up to it, and slowly closed her eyes as she whispered to the emerald, "Chaos…" But before she could finish the last word, something dark took over her, something that she was too blinded to see.
"Control."
The emeralds circled her, as Tails scooted back, having been pushed back and down by her forceful urge to seize the chaos emeralds power once more.
"Amy… please… this isn't right!" He shouted out, almost on the verge of tears. "Amy!"
The emeralds let out a powerful blast, before their power looked different from the time Sonic, Shadow, and Silver turned Super… in fact, it was a ghostly black aurora, that shook the emeralds all around as they hovered.
"Amy, listen to me!" Tails got up, seeming desperate. 'I won't fail to help my friends again.'
"Chaos feeds off of emotions. If you want to turn Super, the right way, then you have to- no.. you must remember who you are!" he shouted out.
Amy's eyes flickered open, a shining shade of crimson, but her glowing gold began to change as a dark shade of blackish blue began to creep up her arms, a bit of her face, and legs.
"Amy… remember that you love Sonic…"
Amy's dark expression changed at once, to fear stricken horror and realization.
She gasped, finally taking control of herself and remembering who she was again.
"Remember that you're a dear friend of ours… that your kind, and good, and strong. Remember that your loved, and that you bring hope to the darkest of times for us! We need you, Amy! We need you so badly, and even if Sonic doesn't say it all the time, I know he'd agree with me when I say that we desperately don't want to lose you! Please… if you have to prove yourself, if you have to show us anything, anything at all! Show us your endearing spirit… your want to help and aid us. Don't let the chaos… Don't let it take that away from you, make you angry and aggressive. Remember who you are… you are Amy! Amy Rose! And you've gotta help Sonic and the rest of the gang! Cause they need you too, I know they do!
AMY!"
Amy gasped out a long breath of air, as the emeralds lost their forceful shakes and tremors. The dark aurora faded as Amy looked down, seeing the darkness that was seeping up her arm deem and slowly move downward before completely disappearing and fading away under her glove.
"…Amy?" Tails was on the verge of giving up, before he saw her slowly drift down, crying gently, as she looked straight forward, gasping as if she had to fight a battle to control herself.
"..Oh Tails.." she sobbed out, and looked to him, "I…heh," she smiled, "I really needed to hear that."
Tails smiled, seeing the danger was past and Amy's shining yellow glowing brilliantly in the dark proved she had controlled herself, and in doing so, controlled chaos. "You haven't been told that enough… I'm sorry. You should hear that more often." He grinned, "But you know boys… we don't get that talkative." He chuckled out, letting the stress and tension in his bones loosen up. "I'm glad you fought it off, Amy. I'm so… so glad.." he started to cry softly too, looking down to hide it as he let it out gently. "I was so worried…" he got up off the ground, but hunched as he cried, shaking a little and just glad he wasn't completely helpless like he was last time.
Amy smiled gently, seeing how much he cared for her and couldn't help but begin to run over to him, embracing him as they both shared a moment of true friendship.
"You're not just Sonic's best friend." Amy began, moving herself out of the emotional hug to look at Tails, who wiped a tear away from his eye.
"You're mine too."
Sonic dashed a few miles in the air ahead of the enormous army of Eggman's solders, smiling cockily. "Where does Eggman get all this time?" he stated, seeming to comment on how the old man gets around to making all these robots.
"Well, here's what we can deduce." Shadow moved down next to him, hovering over where he was floating. "He doesn't have any apparent way of receiving the needed money to afford the amount of scrap metal he's using to make these servants of his. So obviously-" he gestured to the long line of metal machines marching their way.
Silver spiraled in, cutting off Shadow, "They're weak to our attacks!" he finished, and smiled.
Sonic nodded, "And now that we're in Super form? HA! There's no way Eggman could seriously think that the four of us can-" he stopped himself, and looked down, his cocky attitude seemed to fade slightly as he glanced to the sides of the ground beneath him. "Ehem… Anyway-"
Shadow placed a hand on his shoulder, as Silver shifted to the side to further show he was addressing Sonic, "We know. We miss her too."
Sonic looked to the two of them, and then shook Shadow off. "I'm not missing her or anything! I'm just worried… Tails said chaos was a lot for her… I just hope she doesn't try anything foolish and hurt herself more than she already has." He spoke with such honesty that both Shadow and Silver smiled, turning their heads.
"H-hey? What's so funny?!" Sonic demanded to know, looking like he was throwing a slight fit about their reactions, and folded his arms. "Are you two judging me?!" he snorted out, not liking the look on their faces.
Shadow had looked away and smirked while glancing in Sonic's direction as Silver leaned away to cover his mouth slightly and snicker.
"WHHAAAT?!" Sonic slightly threw a tantrum. "Oh come on! Don't act like you wouldn't say the same things, after all we've been through!" He folded his arms and looked at the two hedgehogs accusingly.
Silver took a deep breath as he placed his hands on his hips, nodding his head before looking back up to Sonic. "Maybe… but not so tenderly."
"We haven't known Amy as long as you have... but even I will confess it. Her company has been able to calm the disputes between us quite frequently... even to the point to where we can work, finally, as one unit." Shadow turned back to the them, and folded his arms, smiling slightly in comradery with the two, before shifting to his neutral frown expression.
Sonic's quills spiked up, showing he was threatened and uncomfortable with the topic at hand, but calmed down when Shadow spoke his peace. He had lost his cool stature and demeanor as the other men started poking fun at his heart, but now he just frowned and shyly looked away. "Well, this is an Armageddon indeed! When a man can't freely speak his own mind... pfft."
The others just couldn't get enough of it.
Sonic groaned, before shifting his body back to them in the air and lifting a fist up, hunching his back forward slightly, "We've got a whole world to save! Let's show Amy that we can still fight!" he stated confidently, before speeding off to fight the imposing enemy.
Shadow turned to Silver, as they nodded and sped off after him.
"I wonder how Amy would react... if she knew Sonic to be so protective of her." Silver stated as he flew next to Shadow, his face forward, a resting smile on his face.
"I'm surprised she hasn't caught on quite yet,... seeing as he's been pretty diligent in getting us to know our 'boundaries' with her this entire time." Shadow commented back, looking to Silver before speeding off into the air after Sonic.
"…Wait... what?" Silver looked slightly confused, but remembered a specific time after a boss fight where Shadow and Silver were willing to carry Amy but Sonic sped into the moment and intervened, picking Amy up and saying something like, 'Aw, it's so sad. They're just never fast enough, are they Amy?'
Silver stopped the flashback and smiled, nodding to himself. "Hmm. I see. That seems typical of him though… that he'd never say, nor show it unless under extreme conditions like these..." He nodded with his eyes closed, thinking and slightly understanding Sonic's feelings on the matter, before speeding off after the boys like a comet, following their fading streaks and then attacking the army below them.
The three plunged themselves into the tick of battle and pierced through the enemy like they were diving into water.
Sonic spin dashed or moved his hand to release invisible chaos waves that could only be seen when the enemy was hit by them, having a ray of light shine off their bodies before being flung back and exploding.
Kicking and punching, he smiled the whole way through~
Shadow chaos speared as usual, but he had picked up a few tricks on the road, and began using them now. He punched through a robot, tore out it's wires and then used them as electric whips that when slashed into a robot, shocked them into shutting down.
He then tossed the weapons to kick down a robot with so much force that it slid backwards. He rode the sliding robot as he punched and destroyed robots on it's skating course till he finally jumped off, letting it ram into a tree and explode. The tree then fell onto several more robots, but most just cut away the branches of the tree and continued their trek to the city.
Silver pulled together all his force and let it out in a single blast, creating a safe circle around him as the robots were flung back. When they'd shoot, he'd catch the missiles in mid-flight and fling them back at their senders.
He then landed and whipped up a tornado like ring of robots that flung into the air, before ripping them apart and then sending the ripped fragmented objects at other robots nearby, stabbing them with their own kind as they short-circuited and exploded.
The three landed, huffing and puffing as they slowly arose next to one another, and looked out over the battlefield.
They had traveled all over to the major cities, defending each of them, but such a fleet was exhausting to say the least. And most of the time, they split off to do each work separately, until meeting the other when journeying to another city, and playing castle defense, as it were.
"There's… still so many." Silver breathed out, gasping as he wiped his mouth.
"We can't keep stalling like this. Even if they're easy to destroy, we need some kind of strategy to make sure none of them get to the remaining cities." Shadow glared while he gave his analysis, his usual look in the face of a serious situation.
"…Heh," Sonic chuckled out, "Sonic? Having a strategy?" he grinned, moving his arms as if to question Shadow.
"This isn't funny, hedgehog. We need a plan. Someway to utilize our strength and take down as many as possible." Shadow shot Sonic's joke down and set him in place, making the blue hedgehog lean his head away slightly and sigh, scratching his head.
Shadow raised a fist up, "If I need to.." he placed a finger on his limiters. "I will do what I must... to defend this world." He thought of Maria's promise then...
"Gotta take everything so seriously…" Sonic stretched a bit and then shook himself out, before walking over and lowering his fists down. "Alright, let's do some combos together, We'll clobber more of them that way. No need to break limits."
Shadow consented in a nod, and lowered his arms.
"Silver, I need you to-"
Sonic stopped himself, his eyes widening as he slowly turned around. Silver and Shadow did the same, their heads moving back as if they we're trying to make sure their ears heard right.
"What? You need some more muscle power right? Good thing I've got these babies."
Amy stood as a pillar of confidence with the smuggest grin, and almost everything about her could have even rivaled that of Sonic's most dashing of entrances. Her elegant spiked up super hair blew gently in the wind as she looked AWESOME.
Sonic and the gang smiled, it really seemed that their fears and concerns were done away with and now just looked thrilled to see her.
They really did miss her company...
Sonic, of course though, played it cool. He grinned a smug looking smile right back at hers as he walked a step towards her, "Amy," he began.
"You look positively radiant."
"Does that mean you boys missed me?"
"Lots."
The three of them responded in unison, each with a different but almost flirty looking expression on their faces as suddenly they heard a loud boom.
The four hedgehogs turned around and looked up, except for Amy cause it was just over her head a ways, as they saw Eggman dropping more and more units in giant boom shell containers. From a distance, it looked like a blimp being dropped and then unloaded.
"He just isn't quitting while he's down, is he?" Sonic folded his arms, a deep frown on his face.
"Hehe~ Don't worry." Amy walked up to the three boys with a swagger in her step as her hammers swung around her, but moved to the sides to pull Shadow and Silver into her embrace with Sonic. "You've got me now, remember?" She cooed to the side of Sonic's face, but meant it for all of them. She winked her remark out before wrapping her arms around Sonic's neck and trying to sound as seductively sexy as ever.
Sonic turned his head slightly, an eyebrow raised as he 'huffed' and rolled his eyes away from her direction.
She frowned.
But was it a failure?
"We might have more of a chance to save these cities, that's true." He stated, and then grabbed her hand as he spun her around to avoid her embrace. "But we could of managed." He teased, and kissed her hand, the whole time not keeping his eyes off of hers before flying up to face the sudden increase of more Eggman minions. "Come on, guys!"
Silver looked to Amy, seeing her mentally screaming face as Shadow gave him the gesture to stop staring and move on, get to work.
Silver smiled weakly, and a bit awkwardly, as he conformed quickly to his will.
Looking back though, he seemed a bit at war with himself, '… would she ever look that happy if I did it..?' a silent and hidden thought he'd never share appeared in the back of his mind...
'The future's customs are so odd and strange...'
Shadow, hiding his thoughts better, wondered why she cared so much for Sonic. Why his showings of affection were so powerful to her, somehow. 'Hmph, since he doesn't emote much, his subtle behavior suddenly enhances whatever forward action he then takes... clever.' he thought in a bit of a sneer, following Sonic into battle, and staring at him for a moment. '…He doesn't seem to deserve her reactions, though.'
Together, the four hedgehogs began launching attacks here and there, using combos to really get every last one of them, and flying all over, each of the four hedgehogs getting a chance to partner together and and defend the cities.
"Shadow!" Amy cried out, holding her hammer up as he gripped it with his hand.
"Right!" He shouted, and pulled out a gun, "It's time."
"Dark Rose thorns!"
Shadow fired his gun in the opposite direction of Amy as he swung her around by her hammer, with her other hand, she shoot out the infinite hammers from 'hammer space' at anything around them.
Sonic and Silver looked to each other and smiled, feeling like they wanted to join in on the act too.
"Alright!" Sonic curled into a ball as Silver stretched out his arms, taking Sonic up in his power and having him float in midair before he opening his eyes to reveal their powerful glow of his telekinesis ability.
"We're not holding back!" Silver stated.
"Silver Bullet Streak!"
Sonic was hurled at countless enemies as Silver moved his arms at lightening speeds, however, Sonic was moving even faster than that! Showing a green streak of light moving in all sorts of directions over Silver.
The robots we're starting to dwindle, as Eggman watched uncomfortably on the edge of his large throne like chair in his aircraft. "BLAST THOSE HEDGEHOGS!" he slammed his fist into the throne, looking more and more angrier by the minute…
The screens showed how fast they were tearing into his armies, and each city waving their thanks at the heroes, some even having white napkins they would wave out their windows to show they're thanks.
"Oh dear, that looks like it might of hurt your hand…" Orbot spoke out slightly, nervous around his furious creator, but also concerned about his poor hand...
"Woah! Look at those combos! Such pretty lights…" Cubot had his steel face right up against the window of the airship, looking down and jumping with his hands on the glass. "I bet'cha we could unlock our combo move, Orbot!" Cubot looked back, excitedly at Orbot.
"Oh, how enthralling…" Orbot spoke sarcastically.
"You foolish, lower than dirt, pieces of cold metal!" Eggman got to his feet, his arms raised up as if to punch something as he intimidated his creations.
They scrambled, seeming to 'doggy paddle' with their arms or fling them up as they ran in fright.
"I have to find a way to stop them! This is what I feared…" he moved his hand up to his mouth, and started biting his nails under his glove. "But how..?" he whined out, feeling all hope for him was lost.
"Three Supers were one thing... now four!?"
"Well, we still have that canon…" Cubot stated, resting himself against the wall after running around frantically with Orbot. "I mean, at least they didn't destroy that."
"Oh yes, BLOCK HEAD!" Orbot hovered over to him, acted like he agreed, and then swung his fist at his head.
"Ow, hey!" Cubot rubbed his square head, feeling hurt and offended. "I thought it was a good idea…"
Eggman's mustache twitched as he flicked his neck to have his head speedily look over his shoulder at the two robots bickering. "Canon..?"
"Fine idea that would be! They may have been designed to capture Sonic, Shadow, and Silver in their Super forms, but now we have Miss Rose to deal with here!" Orbot stated out, leaning forward with his hands on his hips or.. metal stem, towards Cubot, who looked down saddened.
"Ah, shucks. I think your right."
"No.. he's not…"
"..? What was that, sir?" Orbot turned around, in a bit of shock, surprised that Cubot might actually be right, and a little offended he was wrong for once too…
"What do you mean I was WRONG?" he demanded, placing his arms straight down. "I'm never wrong!"
"No… No no no, but he is! He's right! Whahaha!" Eggman let out a giddy laugh and jumped up in the air, clicking his heels.
"What are you talking about, Doctor? Doctor!" Orbot followed after Eggman, as he pranced and raced down the hallway to the canon, as Cubot still slowly tilted his head and squinted his monitor eyes as suddenly it finally hit him.
He shot up his head, "Wait, I was right! Cause Amy withstood the.. uh… duh… regular hedgehog's powers! But in Super form, it would be doubled that! She'd be incinerated! Ah… incinerated..? Oh no!" Cubot got up quickly, ramming into something and causing some pieces of metal parts to fall off.
His head spun around in a circle but he stopped it, shook off his dizziness with an 'Ouch!' and sped off in a frantic panic to where ever Eggman was heading too.
Orbot blinked his eyes, before pointing to himself, "Does that mean... I have to be the block head now!?" he felt faint, "OOoooOOoohh.." he put the back of his hand up to his forehead, and then spun a minute, getting dizzy, before hovering sorrowfully after the two.
Shadow and Silver looked to one another, before turning around to face their backs. "You all set?" Silver asked.
"More than that." Shadow spoke out over his shoulder.
"Gravity Control Spin!"
Silver and Shadow pushed back robots from around them, Shadow either chaos spearing them or shooting them down with his, now duel guns, before jumping in the air. Silver pushed them back and then flung them all into a suspended state in the air, before Shadow went in and destroyed them by spin dashing into them or flinging them into another one.
"Amy!" Sonic reached out his hand, and Amy took it.
"Right by your side! As always~" Amy took her other hand and held one hammer that she spun around, the other swirled around the two's beings.
"Rose Petals Spiral!"
Sonic spun Amy around, knocking targets back before creating a tornado. The tornado had Amy's signature rose petals in it, as Robots we're flung into it and then destroyed by her hammer. Sonic, after the tornado was conjured up, was flung around in the tornado in his ball form, as Amy kept the spiral going before halting it dramatically, having Sonic fly down and her hitting him with her hammer at other targets, this time, one by one.
"Those,.. those fools don't know what they're in for!" Eggman started pushing his multiple buttons on his control panel, and the Master Emerald slightly flickered a quick glow as it was raised into the air with the canon.
"WHOHOHOHO! Let's get those hedgehogs! All FOUR of them!" he shouted out as his glasses shone in the break of twilight.
Silver dashed to Amy's side, "Need a hand?" he offered her his.
"Sure thing!" she took it and they both stood still, closing their eyes as they faced each other on adjacent sides, but facing the opposite way.
"Nature's Silver Lining!"
Amy summoned forth a ton of hammers that spun up and into the air, but holding their positions. Silver stomped the ground, causing a ripple effect as the robots lost their footing, then he flung them up into the air, spinning them in a circle as Amy directed her multiple hammers and they all shoot off, one by one and then a bunch at different times into the fray of the mess.
Sonic moved by Shadow's back, "Are you with me?"
"If I must, let's finish this." Shadow and Sonic curled into their ball forms and spun around each other in the air, moving upward.
"Piercing Peace Shot!"
Shadow and Sonic then went ballistic as they moved everywhere in a blur of black and blue at the robots around them, before spiraling back and forming a 'yin and yang' for a moment, before falling back towards the Robots, who fell with a crashing explosion. Sonic and Shadow spiraled inward towards one another, before breaking and uncurled, striking poses.
"We did it!"
All four shouted, racing up to one another to celebrate.
"Ah! Not yet!" Amy spotted a straggler, just marching his merry way towards the last city targeted, very close to it's outskirts as it readied its gun.
"I've got it!" Amy moved back slightly, before reaching back, summoning a hammer, and then darting forward and letting it go. It spun in the air for a while, making an arch as it perfectly hit with the robot, causing it to explode. "Hmph, aimed and delivered." Amy cockily spoke out, rubbing her knuckles on her chest and then blowing on them gently.
"Atta girl!" Sonic shouted out, giving her a thumbs up.
"Not bad, Amy!" Silver flew over to her and bumped fist with her, "You we're great! It seems you really mastered your Super form too!" he complimented as Amy giggled.
"Thanks Silver! Sonic!" Amy looked back at the two, grinning brightly with confidence but then looked to Shadow.
He just stood their, arms folded, head down, and eyes closed.
"..Shadow?" she pouted cutely. "Aren't you going to say something? Anything at all?"
He 'hmph'ed and turned his head away from her.
"Aw… Shadow~ Amy wants to be complimented on her first day of being a hero!" Sonic teased, rubbing his finger into Shadow's cheek. "Be a good friend and tell her she did well." he pouted, as he indirectly threatened him to be nice by digging the finger into him more and more.
Shadow twitched as he felt an anger mark coming on, and turned his head to Sonic, swiping his cheek away from his finger.
"ehhh…heheh." Sonic moved his finger, a bit intimidated by his glare as he stepped back, allowing Shadow to move up and towards Amy.
"You did well, Amy." He took her hand, which surprised her greatly. "But you'll need more practice. You're still far too weak to fight on your own. However…" he kissed the side of her head.
"I enjoyed your company in battle."
He looked up to her with drop dead gorgeous piercing ruby eyes, before walking away as if nothing had happened. However… a smile snuck onto his face as Amy blushed behind him.
He was glad he got a reaction out of her. 'Perhaps It's not merely Sonic that can register such emotions within her...'
"…Well, that was… um.." Sonic slightly narrowed his eyebrows and folded his arms, not sure how he felt about that.
"A little much for a compliment?" Amy smiled nervously his way, blinking her eyes, and wondering what he'd say, leaning back to see more fully his expression and face.
"No… weird." Sonic now fully glared at him, but then lost it and took on a fake expression of joy and had a wonderfully sly grin on his face. "Considering it looked like he was trying to mimic me~"
Shadow lowered his eyelids, not liking his accusation but couldn't really fight or deny it's logic either. So he simply huffed out his agitation and walked away from Sonic. Making Sonic happy, cause it looked like he won that round, but Shadow still got away with his act.
Silver frowned in defiance a bit, and looked away, letting his frustration at not knowing what to do to also make his move. If he ever decided to enact it. He then thought of something, and his face looked like he should have a lightbulb 'ding' over his head as he approached Amy.
"I've got it!" he naively spoke out, grabbing Amy's hands together. "I think your amazing! Keep this up, and we won't be able to show off anymore." He teased, and winked.
Amy smiled, loosening his grip on one her hands to allow her to hide her face slightly with it. "Oh, you guys!" she blushed.
"Um…Here. I believe this to be my... um.. token of appreciation." Silver looked down cutely, and then moved up to her forehead, flying slightly upward to do so, and kissed it. "C-cause I don't want to be rude and seem the only one who didn't show it!" he defended and moved back to Sonic and Shadow's side of the area.
Amy blushed harder and then covered her face. "EEEE! Stop it! All of you! Your making me blush!"
Sonic stood back a minute in horror, and then glared deeply and slowly towards both Silver and Shadow, 'What mutiny is this!?'
"Why all mirroring all of a sudden, fellas?" Sonic stepped forward, clearly looking perturbed by their actions, but kept his head down a moment as he strode forward, with a slight bounce in his step, and hands on his hips. "Is this meant to be flattery or mocking me?" He then stomped a foot down and bore his teeth, looking back and forth at the two men, showing how much he hated their last few actions towards Amy.
Silver and Shadow both turned away from him, being in the middle, and avoiding the question along with eye contact, making Amy laugh nervously.
'Aw... Poor Sonic.' she put her hands up to her mouth, grinning widely as it seemed Sonic could have been jealous of the two!
She hoped so, anyway...
Suddenly, three large claw hands, the same from before, reached out from having dropped from Eggman's airship, and snaked their way up the hill to pounce at this precise moment.
The four hedgehogs weren't expecting a thing, but we're able to still dodge it this time.
"We won't be fooled twice!" Sonic spoke out, as he then immediately looked for Amy, who was able to manage dodging on her own.
"I'm fine." Amy stated, seeing his searching gaze fall on her.
He nodded.
"All together!" Sonic, Silver, and Shadow got in front of Amy.
"Ultimate Combo, coming right up!" Amy positioned her hammer as if to swing like a baseball bat.
Shadow spun into a ball first, "Shadowed-" and spun in midair.
"Lightning-" Sonic curled up, spinning in air as well with Shadow, but each at different lengths.
"Comet!" Silver did the same as the first 3, before Amy swung forward.
"Hyyyyahhh!" she sent a blast of Chaos out with her hammer, and the three spiraled in unison and crashed into the robotic claw.
The three then took off and started destroying the claw hands, which slowly retreated after sparking and not being able to function correctly anymore.
"BLAST THOSE-"
"Pesky hedgehogs, and their little girlfriend too!" Orbot spoke in a high pitched voice, motioning his hand in a teasing way and then 'blah!'d as he folded his arms.
"…Still sour over Cubot's random spark of intelligence, hmm?" Eggman noted, making Orbot pop a screw and look up at him with steam coming from the end of the hole, showing how truly upset he was over it, and shaking his whole body in rage.
"HE IS NOT MORE INTELLIGENT THAN ME!" he blurted out, and then looked away, mumbling curses about Cubot…
"We can't absorb Amy!" Cubot rushed into the room, looking worried and scared.
"What? What are you going on about now, Cubot?" Eggman looked back at his robot, seeing as he couldn't do anything right now, not with the claw grabbers destroyed. "Now, Cubot... I know you're actual smarts have just clicked in and all that, but don't think that means you-" He leaned, relaxing on his control panel, as if a father speaking to his new evil genius son, but was cut off by Cubot's next line.
"Amy still has that dark evvvilll stuff in her soul that's controlling her heart through chaos, right?!" Cubot fidgeted, looking nervous.
"Yeeesss…?" Eggman's eyebrow raised up for a moment at his stated observation. "Technically, it should still be somewhere in there. By theory. Not entirely mine.. eh-hem."
"Oh-hoho, look at him, sir. He gets one lucky break and now he thinks he's Einstein! Oh-hohoho!" Orbot started to poke fun and laugh at Cubot, who looked worriedly to his fellow robot and gripped his shoulders, shaking them.
"You don't understand! If the canon absorbs that, it will incinerate itself!"
Eggman's face stretcged apart in surprise, his mouth moving down into a deep but small frown as his mustache reached up for a moment. "HMMM?!" he quickly ran over the data frame network to see if it could handle the intensity of negative chaos. "By Chaos's tail…" Eggman stood back. "He's right."
Orbot jolted in place, "WHAT!?"
"Hehe~" Cubot let his friend go, folded his arms, and smiled cockily to him, pleased with himself.
"Ohh…" Orbot let his body fall forward in disappointment. "How is it that I'M now becoming the brainless bot? Could it be true!? Have the roles really shifted so quickly?"
Sonic and the gang flew up to the aircraft, looking it over.
"He hasn't struck back yet." Tails stated, flying up next to the four hedgehogs.
"Tails!" Amy shouted happily, flying over to him and hugging him from the side.
"Woah! H-h-hey, Amy! Hugging time is over!" he pushed her away, but softly.
"Tails, buddy! I'm glad you're still alright!" Sonic stated, and wondered why Amy was embracing Tails like that. "What's with the friendly hugs?"
"Long story." Tails scratched the back of his head.
"Why? Jealous?~" Amy batted her eyes at Sonic, being flirty as ever with her new found powers.
And even closer friendship with Tails, ha!
"Jealous? Amy Rose," Sonic turned, a little surprised to hear her say that, before playing around, acting like a gentlemen while he bowed slightly and moved his hand in a proper man's gesture. "Now, it's none of my business how you handle your little flings." that last word came off a little harsh, and it was obvious what his objective was, and Amy's face rose in horrified shock at his comment.
"FLINGS?!"
"You tend to be a little flowerish towards the bees, my dear." He was clearly provoking her, probably upset by how she was acting around the other men. He flicked his feet in the air and then looked away, acting as though he was innocent in his statements, before giving her a devilish grin.
"…WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?"
"Oh dear… REALLY, Sonic? You're gonna get her all wind up NOW?!" Tails couldn't believe that Sonic was descending into his old ways again, after all that Amy and him had been through too…
"ARE YOU CALLING ME A FLIRT?"
"Do not all rose's have their particular smells?" he looked away again, as if calling it her nature to be so flirtatious.
Amy gasped.
Silver gaped open his mouth, feeling that Sonic was insulting her a bit too much, and looked to Shadow, who thought this ridiculous and shook his head.
"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG." Amy breathed out in unbelief. "I WOULD- NEVER!"
"What? flirt? Calling any man who saves you your hero? Let anyone give you, I can't believe I'm saying this, a kiss without so much as an attempt to stop them? No, of course not Amy. I would never." Sonic put up his act, placing a hand on his hand, but seemed to be getting more annoyed towards Amy as he spoke.
"OH! WELL! You're some joke! Heh, you didn't even speak up when they did! And I'm not Rrrude like SOME HEDGEHOGS ARE!" She screamed back at him.
"A woman needs to learn to say, NO!" Sonic shouted back at her, "You have no shame!"
"WHAT!? YOOOUUUUU!" Amy's high pitched sound made all the listeners of this domestic argument plug their ears. "HOW DO I HAVE NO SHAME IN LETTING SOMEONE SHOW HIS APPRECIATION TO ME?!"
"Oh come on, Amy! You know it's more than appreciation!"
"How so, mr. love expert!?"
"There's a difference!"
"This isn't going to end, is it?" Tails rhetorically asked, looking like he knew he was painfully right.
He then sighed, "Look, you two can talk about how much you love each other later! We have an Eggman to fry!"
"LOVE?!" Sonic and Amy both said at the same time, looking over to Tails in their outrage, and having floated up to be dangerously close to one another, leaning forward.
"Tails!" Sonic scolded him from afar.
"Knock it off! Both of you!" Shadow intervened, holding his hands up in front of them and shoving their faces away, stepping in between them, and then pointed to Eggman. "We have a common enemy to land." He glared to each of them, respectfully giving them each the same amount of time.
"Does it look like we care about your little feud?"
Amy and Sonic both looked down and away, then back at each other with pouts and disapprovals, before finally nodding.
"Fine." They both stated in unison.
"But no more combos.." Sonic looked away from Amy.
"Fine. By. Me! HMPH!" Amy flicked her head away from Sonic, having her quills follow after her before spiking up in their Super form positions again.
"Alright, let's go!" Shadow stated, as the four of them took off towards the egg carrier.
"Good luck!" Tails called from afar, waving to them.
"Eggman, uhh… sire? They're advancing this way!" Cubot cried out, as Orbot just sighed and put his elbow up to his circular head, sitting back behind the two in a melancholy state.
"What's the point? Let them tear us to heavy scrap metal upon this desolate ground we call our home." Orbot seemed depressed.
"Ohhh! Knock if off you!" Eggman whacked Orbot, making him 'yikes!' in fright and curl up into his circular ball.
"That hurt you know!" he shouted from within his circled frame.
"We can't fight them like this, pull back!"
"But sire!"
"What is it now, Orbot?! I mean," Eggman shook his head, "Cubot!" Correcting himself. "Heh,… never thought that'd happen." Eggman admitted.
"Neither did I, sir… neither did I." Orbot depressingly uncurled and then glared at Cubot before sighing and draping himself on top of a panel.
The three hedgehogs curled into their respected ball forms, and floated around Amy, replacing her usual hammers that would circle her as she held two of her them in her hands.
"Chaos…" she began, "Control!"
Sonic, Silver, and Shadow were all shot towards the front of the carrier, dashing through it, they flew back out on different ends.
At lightning speeds, Amy dashed and whacked them with her hammers back to the airship. The whole thing looked like a massive one player pin-ball or ping game! Amy zipping through the air to hit them back into the metal that split like paper as the hedgehogs spun through it with ease.
"NOO! My beloved Eggcraft…" Eggman felt like crying as he placed his two hands on top of his head, realizing this was the most epic defeat of his life and how disappointing it was. "I knew this would happen if they teamed up… dratt!" he slammed his hand onto something.
Blinking, he slowly moved his hand up to see a lovely game of jacks on his panel board…
"YYYYEEEOOOOWW!" he gripped his throbbing hand, having little soft tears on the sides of his eyes. "Why me?"
"I told you you'd hurt your hands if you kept doing that!" Orbot protested.
"QUIET YOU! Cubot! Detach the main ship and pull my canon off of here!" Eggman swung his good hand, commencing the order to go through.
"Uh… right! Um… I'm on it! Uhh…" Cubot didn't know the controls very well, looking them over in dumbfounded awe as he slowly placed a finger down on a button while narrowing his eyes.
A airshaft fell to the ground on Eggman's head, "URK!"
"Um…This one?" He pressed another.
"Hmm?" Eggman looked up to see air rushing into the airshaft vent, as suddenly his mustache flew up upon his face, "WHAT, WHAT?! FUUU-FUUU!" he fumbled his arms up to pull the mustache down back normally on his face.
Then his whole body was flung upwards as his head got stuck in the vented airshaft.
"AHHHH! GET ME OUT OF HERE! ORBOT!" he struggled and flailed and tried to push his head out of the vent.
"Oh! Here, let me do it!" Orbot pushed Cubot out of the way and started pushing buttons. "Amateurs." He finished with one swift click of a button, and then cracked his metal knuckles.
Eggman fell with an 'OFFPH!' from the shaft.
"And that's how it's done." Orbot put a proper hand up to his chest, and nodded to Cubot.
The airship's front started to break off and fall to the ground, as Sonic, Shadow, and Silver uncurled to see it fall.
"It's so huge!" Silver stated, "We never made it past the front!"
"It's falling too fast, and it's too large! The city will be affected by the impact." Shadow deduced quickly, speaking fast.
"Alright, Amy?" Sonic looked behind him.
"Hmph. What?" Amy still looked upset.
"We need some muscle. Come with us! We're pushing that thing into the ocean!"
"What? But that's gonna pollute it…" Amy looked torn between the idea, putting her hand up to her mouth as to bite her nails, but not having enough time.
"Amy!"
"Alright, alright!" Amy flew down to the others, and they raced to place themselves underneath the falling, and now burning, piece of metal.
"That should hold them off long enough for our back engines to get us back to home base. GOO!" Eggman moved a switch with his hand upwards, and the engines blasted forward as he escaped with the powerful engine Tails helped him to create.
"Oh no!" Tails shouted from the air, seeing Eggman get away. "That's not good!" dashing off after it, he knew he couldn't fly fast enough to it, and smiled as he hatched an idea.
"What came first the Eggman…" He then took out his slingshot, "Or the chicken!" He placed a tracking device in it and shot it off towards the ship.
It stuck like glue on one of its sides.
Tails took out his device and clicked a button.
The tracker had a faint glowing red light to signal it was on.
"Alright!" Tails punched upwards in joy at his accomplishment, and then turned to see the part of Eggman's aircraft start burning up with Sonic, Silver, Shadow, and Amy underneath it, trying to push it up. "Ah! What are they going to…" he suddenly saw them slowly head the large piece of machinery towards the ocean near them.
"Oh! I get it! Good one, Sonic!" he praised, and dashed off to meet them, for he was quite a distance away from them.
Amy pushed upward, keeping the machine in place but feeling her strength leaving her, the heat of the fire on her face made her sweat as pieces tore off the front of the metallic borders and flew down near her. "AH!"
"Hang in there, Amy!" Sonic shouted, as the four were finally over water. "Okay… let it go!"
"Drop it? Now?"
"Yes, NOW!"
"But the wave!" Silver warned.
Amy was loosing her strength, and Sonic could see that, but he had to keep the others moving. "Quick! Just a little ways more then..!"
The four got the thing all the way to a deeper end of the ocean, and dumped it.
The wave was ginormous, as its ripple effect just skimmed the floating Angel Island miles away from them.
"Phew. That should do it." Sonic said, wiping his face and watching the large metallic front of Eggman's aircraft flame out and sink to the bottom. "I'm sure that gave Knuckles a bit of a scare." he teased, smiling.
"Well… that was trying." Shadow commented, cricking his neck and rolling back his shoulders.
"You're telling me..." Silver breathed hard, exhausted from the endeavor, before sighing out in relief at getting the job done well.
"Hey.. where's Amy?"
With that one line from Sonic, the boys halted everything they were doing and looked around.
Amy gently floated down to the ground, gripping her arms as she felt sick in her stomach. "Oohhh…" She felt faint, as the chaos emeralds shook free from her quills. "I don't feel so good… I feel…"
Weak.
"H-…huh?"
You are nothing more than a liability.
"Who… whose there?"
Ugh, I tire of this! I shall have to speak directly to you.
"Whaa..?! Who-whose there…?" in her weakened state of mind, the negative chaos had formed it's identity from her insecurities, selfish wishes, and polluted her way of thinking while she fought. The weaker she got, the more the negative chaos bided it's time, storing energy and any negative emotions or thoughts within her that could feed it's power over her.
Allow me to make you grand, Amy. I shall give you power that will never go away. That hedgehog will respect you because of your power! I shall make you happy, no more will you be 'unloved' and 'alone'. I shall love you, I shall be your friend. Come, Amy. Surrender to your selfish desires, your impulses of violence and mayhem! Give me… all of you….
"N-no.. Stop it..! Leave me alone!" Amy gripped her head. "What on earth is happening..?"
Oh, poor child… still unable to grasp her own power. Forever you shall rely on him to protect you, to make you feel important. However, I promise to make the world your playground, a sandcastle you can reform by destroying the mess another child has made and building up a world where you can rule in peace and divinity!
"No, that's not what I… that's not what I want!" Amy stood up, feeling the darkness creep up her glowing yellow frame once more. "STOP IT!"
"…Amy…?"
Amy turned around and gasped.
The three looked to her in worried fear and fright, as Sonic reached a hand out to her, seeing her being consumed by Negative Chaos.
"I knew this would happen… Tails should of never let you turn Super again, not this early… for this long…" Sonic clinched his teeth.
"W-wha…" Amy's eyes shook beneath her hands that covered her face, allowing her to peek through to the concerned boys. Shadow and Silver's faces grew grave, and it seemed as if they were readying themselves for another fight…, if it came down to such a thing.
"Amy… calm down…" Sonic approached her, very slowly, as though she was a wild animal. "I'm here… its okay…"
See how quickly they doubt you with power, Amy. See how fearful they turn when you seem to exceed their own might.
"Ah!" Amy moved back, tossing and turning her head. "No…no..!" Amy felt the chaos control a part of her hand, the arm that was fully dark now.
It forced her to fling her arm towards a nearby lake, a tree was struck, and fell in a matter of seconds after being burned so quickly that the bark only caught on fire for a moment, before the lower trunk that was burned became nothing more than ashes, making the tree fall.
The power source was so fast that it was barely traceable by the human eye.
The boys flinched, seeing the ashes spread upon the water's front…
Sonic breathed softly, and closed his gaping mouth, looking back to Amy, a little more seriously now.
"Did…. Did you see that power?... I…heh-ha… I did that." The chaos had reached Amy's inner workings within her mind, starting to control her thoughts. "Heh… haha!.. that felt… amazing!" she removed her hands from her face and looked down at them, in complete wonder it seemed of her power.
"…Amy… Stop this. That's not you talking and you know it." Sonic began, his voice more of conviction than soothing comfort now.
He bent down a little, walking cautiously over to her.
"This… this is all I ever wanted." Amy looked up. "Look at me!" She threw her arm again, and the water was struck with a black orb ball that spun a purple misty aurora in and around it. The water evaporated in that spot at once, till the orb vanished, and milliseconds later there was a loud and sound breaking blast that created a crater that the remaining water swarmed into.
Silver and Shadow stepped back, gasping again at how fast and delayed that sound and impact was compared to their own strength. Sonic… Was the only one that held his ground.
Looking to the side of his face at the water, making a whirlpool into the crater she made, he didn't flinch or even step back. His quills were down, unlike Shadow's or Silver's, as he looked back to address Amy again.
"Amy… you're better than this. Control yourself."
"Huh?"
The single line of complete composure and confident power and authority left Amy and the Negative Chaos growing inside of her in shock, halting the process of her turning any more darker than she was now.
There were only patches of yellow left on her now, as Sonic walked closer to her.
"Stay back!" the Chaos forced her to summon her hammer, as her good eye, still covered in positive chaos orange and yellow, shook in fear at her own action of feeling like she had to defend herself against Sonic.
Sonic stopped moving, and only spoke again, never missing a beat, and keeping his eyes fixated on hers. "Amy… is this what you want?"
"What?"
"Is this…" he gestured his hand to the lake, and the fallen tree within it. "Is this what you wanted so desperately for, Amy? The power of destruction?"
Amy looked around, and fear struck her being as she began to take hold of herself once more.
Look at how he notices you now. The power has made him aware of you. You are special now. I have made you seen by the man you desire so much… How have I done you any wrong?
"Amy… let me ask you again."
Sonic stepped closer to Amy, making her twitch and lower her hammer, looking up at him as tears began to form from the two separate thoughts that had once took over her own thinking a moment ago.
"…Is that really…"
He held out his hand.
"What you want?"
Amy's eyes widened.
… what are you thinking?
Amy lowered the hammer more, getting out of her defensive position, and looking around.
I wanted to help... not destroy...
You did all this, Amy… You have power! Just like you always wanted! Destruction can aid you! Listen to me! I am your true power!
Amy slowly stood straighter, and walked over, slowly, ever so slowly, towards Sonic. Never taking her eyes off his outstretched hand.
He's worried about me... I... I don't want them to be worried about me.
Shadow and Silver were still bending their knees and having their arms ready to do battle, till they realized Sonic was getting her under control, and slowly lost their form too.
No, what!? What are you doing!? Why!? I'm offering you all you ever wanted! Why?
I guess… it's because… what I really wanted… was…
Her hand lingered over his, as he moved it closer to hers. She withdrew it slightly, pulling her fingers back a little distorted, seeing as Chaos was trying to stop her. but she extended them again, more delicately as she fought of Chaos's impulses, when he gently withdrew his earlier advance.
"Give it up, Amy… This power? It's not you. Maybe one day, it can be yours, and you can learn to control it. But until then…"
Amy looked up at Sonic, slowly feeling the evil side of chaos slip away from her consciousness.
"You have to trust me to be your power."
Amy's hand dropped into Sonic's.
At once, Sonic pulled the Chaos out of her being, leaving her to her original form in a matter of seconds.
Once the power was drained from her, she couldn't stand any longer, and fainted. Her quills moving down and her eyes slowly rolling back slightly as her eyelids closed.
Sonic caught her, and slowly moved her body to where he could hold her more properly. "Atta girl… Well done, Amy. Well done." He gently stoked her head or the back top end of her quills. "That's my girl." He placed his head on hers, and whispered very lovingly that line he knew she couldn't hear.
Shadow and Silver quickly sped over to him, as he moved a quill out of Amy's face, and noticed that the last of the effects weren't completely gone.
"I can still feel chaos burying itself deep within her soul… it's not giving up on claiming her heart just yet." He looked over Amy's body, seeing how she easily passed out meant that the chaos had already been taking hold of her throughout their adventure, since the moment the Master Emerald allowed Chaos into her unworthy being.
Her red eyes... and the darkness that was swarming her... at least it was gone.
For now.
"Sonic… We can't let her use Chaos anymore." Silver stated, looking over Sonic's expression as he looked up to him. "It's top risky, she could get hurt!"
"Calm down, Silver. Sonic was able to appeal to her true heart, and in return she found her way back out of Chaos's insanity it had induced her in." Shadow explained, and folded his arms, looking down to Amy. "Foolish girl… no, we were the fools." Shadow turned his head again, squeezing his eyes shut in shame. "I should of never allowed her to use chaos so early…"
"I shouldn't have trusted her to turn Super and save us all. But hey, not all mistakes are bad." Sonic pushed up from his legs, and got Amy in a bridal position so he could lift her up with him as well. He turned to face the other hedgehogs, "Without her, we would be dead."
The two other hedgehogs looked down, as if not wanting to admit that that could be true.
"It was a sacrifice, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it right." He looked down at Amy, gently breathing upon his chest as she slept in what looked to be peace.
"…She needs to rest. I have to return to my time and…" Silver scratched the back of his head, moving away and then looking back to Amy. "…Please, Sonic." He looked up to Sonic, who looked away from Amy to acknowledge him.
"….Don't make me have to come back here…"
"Of course not. Amy's been my responsibility from the beginning. I've got this."
Sonic winked to Silver, who smiled slightly but lost it when he looked speedily back to Amy. "…I just…" he stopped himself and shook his head. Then pulled out a device that created a time warp-hole.
"…I'm sorry Silver… I know you want to protect her yourself too… But this is my job. It always has been, and it always will be."
Silver didn't turn around, only lifted his head up, and nodded very firmly before taking a second and then jumping into the vortex.
Shadow watched until the vortex closed and then looked to Sonic.
"The chaos will effect her thoughts again, Sonic. It's not completely gone now that she's out of Super form. Be weary of that, it will try and persuade her back to the emeralds. You have to keep her away from them." Shadow looked to Amy, but quickly back at Sonic, as if not wanting to look at her in that state any longer.
It pained him... seeing her like that.
He thought it all mostly his fault.
He never wanted anyone to make him feel like he was losing another friend again.
And so... for a moment, at least. He tried to shut off his heart again, and looked seriously up to Sonic, no more down to Amy.
"I understand. Thank you." Sonic nodded, as Shadow gave him a nod back.
"…" not being able to help himself, he looked back at Amy.
"…. You know… it's almost sickening…" his voice grew dark and grave, but you could hear the underlining sadness in it as well. "She's usually so cheery… seeing her like this… like that…" he walked over and placed a hand on her head, but she was so out she didn't even stir at his touch. "…" he just stared, unable to close his heart to her.
"Shadow." Sonic looked up to him, as if telling him he needed to calm down and relax himself.
"Hmph." Shadow looked down and smiled, removing his hand from her, "You know… you may not have been jealous of us when we took our stances on Amy as well…" Shadow then looked dead into Sonic's face, "But we were very much jealous of you."
"…Of my kiss?" Sonic thought, getting a little creeped out and confused.
"No, you stupid-" Shadow stopped himself, and took a deep breath out and in through his nose. "We were jealous…
Of how she reacted to it. Like she would have kissed you back."
"Sonic!"
The two were momentarily interrupted by Tails, flying down as he waved to his friend. "Is Amy, okay..? AH!" He freaked when he saw Amy in Sonic's arms, not moving and breathing so softly you couldn't even see it. "Is she alright?!"
"Haha, she's fine, Tails. Leave her be…" Sonic moved Amy from Tails as he leaned over Sonic's arm, as if moving a curious child away from wanting to see something it was curious about.
"…Hmph." Shadow grinned, and turned away, losing the grin instantly as he powered down from Super form and vanished.
"So… now what?" Tails asked, "Heh, I'm not used to being the one who didn't know what was going on."
"…We need to have Amy rest." Sonic looked off to Shadow, but then moved on and continued to speak to Tails. "We need to keep her away from the Chaos Emeralds."
"Done!" Tails took out some chaos emeralds he had collected on his way over to them. "Anything else?"
"Yeah…" Sonic glared slightly at Tails with a smile.
"Don't-!" He made Tails bend forward by kicking him in the butt with his foot.
"say-!" he then let that foot down and used the other one to slide Tails's other foot forward, making him almost do the splits.
"W-woah!" Tails wiggled his arms around as he felt his legs almost ripping from the distance between them, and flailed to try and keep balance.
"I love Amy!" He then raised his other foot again and ruffled Tails's hair, making Tails look dumbfounded as he finally fell forward after the 'Sonic noogie when he can't use his hands' technic.
Sonic smiled, seeing he had won as he moved over to Tails's front and bent down, smiling evilly down at him. "Ooooo-kay?"
Tails looked unamused and moved his eyes to look right back up at him. "Clear." He stated, as he then smiled friendly right back at him.
(STICK AROUND! FOR SONIC SUPERS SEASON 2! Will Negative Chaos rise again to take hold of Amy's heart? What will become of the world if such does befall? Eggman still has that Super Hedgehog Draining G.U.N Canon! What is he planning to use with THAT still in his possession?! And will Shadow and Silver return? FIND OUT! And keep reviewing!)
"Orbot!" Orbot steps forward.
"Cubot!" Cubot turns dramatically around.
"Bots Epic Combo!"
Orbot dashes to Cubot, and Cubot dashes to Orbot, both leap forward, embracing each other.
"…That's it?" Eggman asked, watching the spectacle before him as he leaned to the side, resting his arm on a chair, and having his hand holding up his chin.
"Yep! Do you like it!"
"…" Eggman stared down at them, before falling to his knees.
"Where did I go WRONG?"
