Sonic Supers
Bonus Story
By: Cutegirlmayra (A few people voiced their opinion of the ending. Some even felt it was unfair she couldn't go super again. Umm….
Couldn't?)
Amy sat quietly upon the chair. Her knees bent in a bit and she nervously felt a small panic attack that she quickly settled by calming herself down.
Her stomach cramped when Shadow and Silver walked into Tails's house, and once again, she clung to the sides of the chair's sturdy bottom, before pulling them up and intertwining her hands on her lap.
"Good to see you two finally showed up." Sonic, who's arms were momentarily folded, masking the same jitters Amy held, opened them to friendly wave and shake hands with the two men. "You… do know why we're here… right?" he gave them a hopeful, but searching eye.
"Judgement. If I'm not mistaking." Shadow had a slight grumble in his voice, but looked over to Amy and gestured to her hands. "Have you always seemed so uptight?"
"I don't remember her ever having a tense nerve in her body." Trying to lighten the mood, Silver patted her shoulder and also took a seat down. "So? Do we all vote?"
Sonic laughed, before gesturing for Shadow to sit as well.
"As you seem to have guessed, we're here to discuss something very important." He turned his head to Amy, who kept hers down. "…Ehem." He looked away, seeing as she was so uncomfortable, he started to get excited about what he knew would occur.
"We're here… to discuss letting Amy try going Super again." Sonic clapped his hands, "I hate formal events." He joked, looking to the men and then to Tails, "But I'm pretty sure we all know why Amy was unable to the first time."
"Clearly stating, she WAS able to focus enough to control Super form when given to her through power from the Master Emerald." Tails then stood up, as Sonic gestured for him to continue. "The only thing was… a few… opinions caused her to doubt herself. A lowered self-esteem means a lot of room for helpless feelings." Tails turned to Amy, who was starting to lift her head up in curiosity.
Weren't they going to say no?
Seeing the good reaction, Sonic and Tails looked to each and nodded, growing even more excited.
"Let's just cut to the chase, Tails." Sonic motioned, and Tails eagerly moved to address Silver. "Silver?"
"I told Amy she couldn't succeed at first. So that part of her that felt she couldn't control Chaos… was partly me." He looked down, deeply guilty it seemed, but also sorrowful at that fact. "Because that part of the doubt was me, it doesn't mean she would have originally thought that way… So-" he looked to Amy, who eyes shined as he nodded to her. "I say yes." He looked to Sonic and Tails. "I've visited the future many times… and I'm certain it wasn't her fault."
Her eyes started watering… then Shadow cleared his throat and her eyes wandered to him.
"…I told her she was a liability, useless… If she had a chance to exhibit confidence in herself… that I didn't shut down… then she would… ehem, most likely have succeeded in controlling Chaos." Shadow looked away, only glancing at her a few times. "…I say…" he rocked a little, side to side, before actually chuckling and causing the room to do the same. "Let the girl have a second chance." He nodded to them.
"And of course, my turn?" Sonic raised a hand, "Absolutely!" He turned to Amy, "If I hadn't kept telling you to back down, you would have saved us with flying colors and kept the blonde look to boot! The Master Emerald may have helped you the first time,… but it wouldn't have needed too if we just had supported you better."
Amy covered her mouth, deeply warmed and touched by their confessions…
They believed in her…
"It's been long enough," Sonic walked over, picking up her trembling hand and holding it still in his own, fond touch. "Amy… We're all at fault. All of us… but you."
She had spurts of laughter, but was too overwhelmed to respond.
Seeing the reaction, the boys all got up and huddled around her, before Knuckles knocked on the door and they stopped.
"Come in!" Tails called, before helping Amy out of the chair. "Come on! You didn't think we just randomly put on a meeting without having some sort of plan!" He joked, and she laughed nervously again as they helped her outside… where the Chaos Emeralds were all positioned neatly in a circle.
Silver, Shadow, and Sonic powered up instantly behind her, spooking her.
She turned around abruptly, looking over her shoulder, and searching them for understanding.
"Just for safety… obviously." Sonic smiled sheepishly, as the other two looked fairly relaxed.
"Go on." Shadow gestured for her to move onward. "Wouldn't want us having all the fun."
He walked by her along with Silver as Sonic placed a hand on her shoulder, pulling her gently back a second as Tails then passed earshot.
"You've got this." He whispered tenderly, "I believe in you."
The words hooked her heart and pulled her into a state of surety.
"I always knew I could." She smiled, before stepping into the center of the Chaos Emeralds.
She felt their pull… the chaos was taken from her since the pollution had overtaken her… creating a 'Dark Chaos' that was bent on controlling the Master Emerald.
But now…
She lifted her head back, stretching out her arms to them as they floated and circled around her.
"I know who I am… I know the memories I have with my friends are precious… I don't want to go super for anyone but myself this time… not to prove myself… not to prove anything…"
The emeralds began to shine brightly, moving towards her as they spun together around her.
"…I just… want… to fly again…"
They collided. With the new found strength she had, she could feel the Chaos soar through her and was able to harness it this time.
Having some experience, she knew that only a healthy core of knowing who you are and what you stand for could summon the will that could control even the God of Destruction's power.
She floated above the grass on the hill… before landing daintily on one toe, and looking to her friends.
"My hair's up." She teased, pointing to her quills.
Silver and Shadow rose up, "Then our purpose here is done." They nodded to her, as Silver went through a portal that had formed beside him, giving her a thumbs up, and Shadow flew out into the distance.
"Ah!" she looked distress, not knowing which one to chase after, "Where are you going!? Come back!" She sped quickly through the air but hesitated, looking confused as they disappeared on their own paths at different directions.
"…I asked them to leave… Amy."
Amy turned to see Sonic flying behind her, and frowned. "That wasn't very nice." She admitted.
He scratched behind his head, "Yikes! I'm being scolded." He winked to Tails below, who also nodded with a returning wink, and looked to Knuckles, waving for him to come inside.
Knuckles was too distracted, looking and admiring Amy's super form without any dangers included, before being pulled away by a hurried Tails.
Amy looked down to see them scurry off, and continually looked confused, flying a bit towards them. "What's going on? Why is everyone leaving?"
"Woah..!" Sonic blocked her from fully following them, and then smiled sheepishly once again. "Amy… I kinda wanted to take you somewhere…"
"Kinda?" she turned back to him, her heart stopping for a moment in shocked surprise, before putting her bundled hands together and scooting closer to him in the air. "H… How come?"
"Well, aren't you excited?" he gestured his hands out.
"Am I ever!" she raced into his arms.
Shadow stopped on the tip of a tree, watching…
Silver burst through another portal, flinging himself into a tree, "AHH!" he was still in his super form, before flying up to Shadow, "What happened?" he looked a little dazed, before shaking his quills free of pine needles.
"…He asked us to leave them alone." Shadow balanced his feet upon the tree and then folded his arms. "…I don't like it."
"Yeah… was a little sudden." Silver sat on a branch below his, and watched as Amy tackled lovingly into Sonic over and over again as he attempted to move away and try and speak to her again. "It was him and Tails who wanted to give Amy a second chance at her super form, right?"
"…All those memories…" Shadow's voice grew grave.
Silver looked up, seeing his eyebrows falter at hiding his true expression…
They bent in love…
"…You… wanted to see her again… didn't you?" Silver spoke quietly… as if not sure he should point it out.
"Heh. Didn't you?" Shadow looked down, his eyes closing for a moment as he smiled, and then opened them to prove a point to Silver.
He looked back at Amy, "We all did."
"We all wanted her to succeed." Silver smiled, and also looked back in fondness for her, his eyelids drooping at her happy expression. "But… we're not Sonic." He looked away, flicking another pine needle out of his tuff of fur. "We're just… the other men."
"We're still here for her." Shadow corrected him, and Silver held up his hands as if surrendering the opinion. "That's all we'll ever be." In a moment of resolution, the two looked back at the happy couple… and watched as Sonic excitedly scooped up her hand and pointed off. Amy's head nodded eagerly, and they were off…
Shadow dismounted the tree, flying off as well to give them some space.
Silver thought of their adventure together… but looked down the tree as sighed.
He knew now how they both felt… and what Sonic most likely felt too.
He had too.
But there was a difference between them and Sonic.
Sonic was able to take chances.
And they weren't.
Amy flew through the air with Sonic holding her hand to help her adjust once again to flying, though it came naturally back to her.
She laughed and tried to do tricks, but his hand stayed firmly to hers.
"Woah! Hey! Watch it! Haha!"
"Let me fly, Sonic!" she giggled, trying to get his grip to lighten on her.
There was a moment of hesitance from Sonic… before he slowly let her hand go, and she took off into the clouds.
Little holes showed her entry ways through the wispy clouds, charging straight into them and coming out soggy and wet.
She laughed as she spun and flipped her wet hair in the wind. Now… this was freedom!
Sonic watched happily below… hovering in the sky with one leg over the other, his arms behind his head as he enjoyed seeing her so happy.
The Chaos Emeralds were happily in her possession as well, showing further trust.
'Amy…' he thought to himself, before what he really wanted to say starting nagging at him. 'Not now.' He told himself. 'I want her to stay this way… forever.'
He watched her serpentine through trees and perform loop-de-loops, before dashing into him and catching him off guard, spiraling towards the earth.
"A-A-AMY!" he cried out, as she laughed and danced with him in the air, twirling and twirling.
He couldn't help and smile back at her.
"I missed this feeling!"
"What? Falling through the atmosphere's as fast as you can?" He teased, taking a second to look behind them and see the earth rapidly approaching them.
"No, silly!" she shouted over the wind beating against their faces, and pulled his face to look back at her, causing a long moment of Sonic being memorized by her radiant countenance again.
She laughed, "Of being Super again!"
He paused a long moment, almost enough to smile like a goof and droop his eyelids, worrying her that he wasn't going to pull up in time.
"Sonic?" She looked at the earth speedily heading towards them. "Sonic!" she cried out.
He grabbed her and pulled her towards him as she ducked her head into his chest and tried to pull him up, but he willingly complied.
The two created a huge wind current, just barely lifting before slamming into the harsh, compacted ground.
They sprayed up a nearby lake and caused the waters to part on each side of them.
Then Sonic slowed down… allowing Amy to look up and around.
"…You were always super… Amy." He kept his eyes ahead, "More than just to me."
When he looked down, Amy was the one struck in a trance…
He slowed down their angular descent and side-ways save to then land near a mountain's wide, protruding rock.
"Amy… there's something… I've been meaning to tell you. Ever since having almost lost you… that is." He lifted her away by her waist, placing her lightly down in front of him, but never removing his hands…
She looked around her, the place was lush and green, with light brown rocks that jagged out all along the mountain's rough exterior.
"And what's that?" she sweetly looked back up at him, her eyes still shining a healthy-looking red, showing she had full control over chaos and herself.
"…I…" he looked down a moment, and then released her waist.
Fearing he was about to chicken out, she reached for him, but he gently took her hands, holding them apart.
"That last attack… with Dark Chaos? It got me thinking… I have a lot of memories with you… memories… that turned painful when I thought you…" he choked up a moment, his eyes searching as his lips withdrew themselves and formed a tight line for a moment.
"…Sonic?" she ducked her head down a bit, lowering herself to try and get a good look at him. "What's wrong?"
"Hah." He pulled his head up, trying to smile but that's when she saw it…
He was tearing up.
His eyes blinked rapidly, and he shook his head.
"I don't want to lose those memories." He laughed weakly, as she could hear the shift in his voice… the emotions spilling out.
"Now you see why I asked them to leave us be." He looked away, growing embarrassed and shy.
"…Sonic…" her heart was deeply touched, "Those memories could never be taken from us!" she held his hand back tighter, but he shook his head and looked down again.
Taking a deep breath, he looked back up at her after securing his glossy eyes into not letting any more emotion 'leak' out, per say.
"I don't just mean those… I mean… the future memories too. I didn't want to remember you as someone I lost… I… I didn't want to have to just remember you… I wanted you back." He finally had the strength to hold himself in place, stepping forward to assert more of a straightened out look to his posture.
"I know this doesn't seem like me… but… I feared never seeing you again." His eyes held the depths of a thousand confessions, and Amy didn't need him to say it… she could see it in the window's of his soul.
"Amy…" he stepped closer up to her, and their eyes were locked onto one another's…
"Yes." She breathed out.
"Stay… with me?" he swallowed suddenly, "This isn't as easy to say everyone makes it out to be." He chuckled a little, letting out some nerves.
Amy smiled, "I didn't say yes to that."
Sonic's face broke and he blinked back in confusion.
Before he could say anything, she stepped forward again, wrapping her arms around his neck, and leaving him looking at his hands and seeming puzzled still.
"I said yes to marrying you~" she teased.
"What?!" Sonic flailed his arms a moment, "I wasn't saying that!"
"Oh, you were." She hugged him closer as her body slowly lifted into the air, but Sonic's was rotating back, trying to 'swim' through the air and out of her grasp.
"I just wanted to say I couldn't bare the thought of if something happened to you!"
"A June wedding, you say?"
"Amy!"
"I think Purple's a lovely wedding color too~"
"AMY!"
"Emhmm. And don't forget to bring a ring your willing to part with, cause it's going on thiiiiiiiis finger. Right here."
"You're insane!"
"Why, thank you."
She looked over his shoulder and found the ring finger, but Sonic finally stopped struggling and flew upright with her, a hand on her stomach to try and keep her at a fair distance but her arms weren't budging.
He looked a little unamused but she looked back at him and with their faces almost inches apart… their humorous act dissipated and they both went in for a real, sweet, and tender first kiss.
Hovering in the air, Sonic suddenly pulled her closer and flew off, startling her as he took her with him.
"Whhaa! What are you doing!?" she felt him lift her legs up and her super form fade away, leaving Sonic still able to fly.
"Not losing another second with you!" he stated boldly, and confidently flew off towards the sunny skyline…
