Ch. 6

Dark Sonic chuckled while he moved out of the log, stepping on Amy's nose purposefully as he did so. "YEEP!" she cried out, as he walked by, but was seriously considering squashing it further by rubbing his foot down on it. He was in such a good mood today, however, that he deicide against it. Amy got up and dusted herself, also trying to lessen the throbbing in her nose by gently covering it with her two hands. "Jerk.." she mumbled, "Sonic would never do that- SONIC!" she suddenly got an idea. She quickly leapt to her feet and climbed a tree, failing a few times but finally getting up and grabbing some wild fruit. "Hehehehe, you know what they say. Get a man through his stomach…" she grinned and started laughing like a mad scientist. Whatever she was thinking, she must of thought it to be brilliant.

Dark Sonic washed his spines in a puddle, Amy had made the night almost impossible to sleep. He had such bad bed hair thanks to another attempt at trying to annoy him last night, where in she pulled at his hair and even tried to brad it over his eyes as he slept. He had wanted so badly to kill her, but found her struggling and creativity amusing. He looked at his reflection and smiled,

'How do you like your new look, Sonic?' he teased as he turned to look back toward Sonic, who was calmly facing away.

Sonic looked back, and smiled, 'My complements to the stylist.' he turned back around.

Dark Sonic's smile left him, 'Your awfully calm today,.. Why is this?' he suddenly grew angry.

'What? Have a pride issue about people being calm around you too?'

Dark sonic was about to try and stomp on Sonic's head when Amy called suddenly. 'humph, your lucky she's still fighting, Sonic. Or I'd have killed your little girlfriend with pleasure.'

'She's not my girlfriend.' Sonic said this quickly as Dark Sonic turned back to the screen.

'She's not? Then why the immense loyalty?' he asked curiously with a smile.

'I've been asking myself the same thing.' Sonic shrugged, 'The only thing I can come up with is the same reason a fan chases an idol, To adore them.'

'…hmm… what a strange creature.. This fan you speak of.'

'Yyyyep.'

"SONIC-KU!" Amy hollered at the top of her lungs. She huffed and puffed, "What the heck is with this guy!? First he doesn't want me to escape, and the next minute he leaves me alone so I can escape but not I don't want too!" Amy said, throwing a fit. "Well, at least my master plan is all set up… now all I need is that dark little-"

"Ehem."

She turned around, "HI~" she said, in the most fakest charming voice ever. "I have something for you~" she wiggled her index finger around his face and flicked his nose, almost as if trying to act like a cute wife. "La,La,La~ AH! Look!" she skipped over to a pile of fruit. "Food!" she threw her hands up in the air. "Won't you, oh pretty please, have some!?" she picked one up and held it out to him.

Dark Sonic looked over the fruit carefully with his eyes, then to her. He began to reach a hand out when she suddenly hid it behind her back, making his eyes widen in shock.

"Oh, that's right. I haven't told you the means of when you can have this food." she moved her body back and forth cutely. Walking backwards over to the food, she sat down. "Come, Darky. Come. Let's talk." she patted the ground next to her. He cautiously sat down, really weirded out by her actions. '…Darky..?'

"So, answer a question, and you get a food. Basically, that's it. Oh oh, and one more thing, DO things as well." she happily held out the same fruit, and tossed it a bit in the air, "Question one, is Sonic alive in you?" Dark Sonic suddenly realized her game, and smiled with a nod. 'She does realize I could blast her away and take the fruit right?'

"Oh?" she handed him the fruit, but then faked it. "Promise your telling the truth?" Dark Sonic's smile left and he nodded, just wanting to eat. She handed him the fruit. "Okay, now then, can you talk?" he nodded again, swallowing the fruit quickly down. She handed him another one, this time smaller. "Okay.. What is Sonic saying right now..?"

'More food please, I'm starving! This guy doesn't know when to eat and when to destroy!'

Dark sonic was about to open his mouth, but slyly shut it and grabbed the fruit. "HEY! You have to answer!" she exclaimed. He had swallowed the small fruit in one gulp. 'Your not worth a real conversation, next…?' he gestured her to move along.

"Grr… Fine! I'll get right to it then!" she held up a rather large and juicy looking fruit, making Dark Sonic put his immediate attention on it. She waved it around while he followed it with his head. "Will you let Sonic come out and talk to me..?" Dark Sonic turned his attention to her, and shook his head. "And why not?" Dark Sonic smiled, 'To torture you.' "Well, say something? If you don't, I keep ALL the food!" she put the fruit behind her back. "Take it or leave it." Dark Sonic's grin turned to one of evil intent with a dark sense of pleasure behind it.

'If you insist..'

Dark Sonic started to move up and over her, looking her dead in the eyes. Her ears slowly bent back and she started to move down and down, closer to the ground as he advanced, "Wh-W-what do you think you doing!?" she called out. He slowly moved his hand behind her back and grabbed the fruit, she noticed to late as he grabbed it and then shoved her away, starting to devour the food. "HEY!" she screamed out as she slowly got up, "that's cheating!" He turned back to her, pointing both hands toward him. 'That's Darky.'

"OOOOOOOOOooooooh! You just don't play fair!" she picked up a fruit and threw at him, but dark aurora caught it and it floated next to his head. "UGH! Your so invincible! But I'll break through you to Sonic, yet! You hear me! Foolish, mean, …just… JERK!" a group of birds flew off in the distance, Dark Sonic stopped gorging for a moment to stare. Amy turned around quickly, "I..I wasn't THAT loud…".

VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRP

Came a quick and agile sound from the jungle, "What was that!?" Amy looked all around her, nothing. Dark Sonic quickly ran over to Amy, grabbing her and jumping into a nearby tree. "H-hey! What's the big I-"

BBBBOOOOMMMMM

Below her, where she once stood was a massive crater. "Wh-wha?" she looked over in the direction of the bombing only to see a bunch of robots start firing at them from below, hovering over there crater. "WHA! Eggman's robots!" she cried out. "You.." she looked at Dark Sonic, slowly climbing the tree, she was now hanging on by her own will with her arms around his neck. "You save me..Sonic?"

Dark Sonic looked down at her, a frown apparent on his face, along with a deep glare.

"…Dark…y?" she said, a little bit of hoping she was wrong in her voice. Dark Sonic smiled and his glare disappeared as he continued his climb up the tree, the firing robots not being able to get there bullets past the large leafed branches of the tree.. "Great… you sound like a dog with that name. But I suppose it suits you since your randomly saving me for no reason like a Dog hangs by it's Master." She looked back to the robots, but Dark Sonic pounded on her head. "OW! Hey!" she shook her head, unable to rub it of fear, due to the long fall down if she released her grip on his neck. 'If anyone's the pet it's you.'

The robots began to circle the tree, waiting at the top, Dark Sonic let out a growl and then, "Tck." as he rested by placing himself on a huge branch. He held Amy up against the tree, so she wouldn't fall as he raised his hand up to the sky. Storm clouds appeared to never leave for very long, as they begun to fill the surrounding area again and black bolts of lightening began to hit the robots. One by one.

"Wow! Look at you go! You can control lightening too huh?" Amy said, quite loudly, as a few of the robots detected her sound waves and were able to maneuver through the tree to her and Dark Sonic. He growled at her as he looked up to see twelve or so had found them, and we're saying, "LOCK ON TARGET" they fired with rockets this time, and Dark Sonic had no choice but to fire a ball of dark energy at them. But doing so left smoke, and he left Amy to knock them down, while they couldn't see.

"Darky?!" *cough cough* "Dark!" Amy called from the tree, she started to walk out along the branch, and tripped doing so. "Woah!" she grabbed the tree's main stem before falling, "Phew." "HEDGEHOG CREATURE DETECTED, BINDING IT NOW." A robot reached out and grabbed Amy with it's claw like hands. "H-hey! Let go! You hear me! Let me go!" she wiggled around but her struggling didn't help. The robot hopped off the branch and began flying off. "HELLP!" Amy cried out. "SONIC!"

Dark Sonic had pretty much bashed up all the other robots, but when smoke cleared he growled loudly and furiously, 'Why can't she keep her mouth shut!' he dashed off, flying toward the robot. He aimed a black lightening attack, but it kept missing the dodging robot.

"ENEMY FIRE, EVASIVE ACTIONS." "Yeah, your telling me. If he hits you, he'll hit me!" Amy let out an another cry.

Sonic rose to his feet, he placed a hand on Dark Sonic's shoulder, 'Hey! If you keep doing that you might hit Amy!'

Dark Sonic shoved his hand off and whacked the rest of him away. 'Sit down, I don't need your assistance!'

'Yeah, but Amy does.' he started to get up again, but then suddenly the robot was hit with an energy blast and it started to smoke up form it's back. It repeated, 'ENGINE FAILURE, ENGINE FAILURE, LANDING IMMEDIATE.' Sonic let out a sigh of relief, it was moving down slowly, Amy would reach ground safely and be fine. He sat back down and watched intensely, making sure his other doesn't hurt her.

Amy freaked out when the robot was hit, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN LANDING IMMEDIATE!?" she screamed as they landed, the robot letting her go and turning to Sonic. Sonic just raised a hand and then used dark energy to do some sort of gravity distortion that made the robot bend and be compressed in different directions before finally exploding. More robots appeared around Amy as she laid on the ground, she rubbed her head and looked around, terrified.

"LOCK ON, FIRE." the robots raised there canon's on there back, and Amy bent her head down and curled up, holding her head in her arms as suddenly Dark Sonic was over her, one arm to the side of her, his knees bent, the other arm extended to the robots, he roared and hissed as he shot billions of small blasts at the robots fire. Amy looked up, he was like a wild animal defending something precious to him, though she shook the thought. She wasn't precious to him, just something to toy with. The robots all fell down, exploding. He picked Amy up bridal style and flew off.

They landed near an open field, and he placed her next to a large rock in the center. Moving his hand to her face, he was checking her scratches from the previous explosions. "N-no! Don't touch me, I'm fine." she tried to move his hands away from touching her face, but he grew mad and growled.

'She doesn't trust you, let me.' Sonic got up again. Only to be pushed down by a frustrated other him.

'She'll have to learn then.' he angrily said back to Sonic. He turned around to glare at him and said, 'I will never let you out.'

He grabbed Amy's arms and flung them down to the ground, the power in his hold made Amy flinch. He glared at her and looked at her wounds, though she tried to squirm away. He licked her head where a scratch was and she froze. Rolling her eyes slowly up to him in complete shock he licked another wound where a touch of blood was oozing. She quickly started kicking the ground to move away, which he ended up letting her do. Releasing her arms, she rubbed off his saliva on her face.

'What are you doing!?' exclaimed Sonic, frantically putting his hands on his head.

'I'm treating her wounds, they'll get infected if I don't. Besides, Saliva in animals has a healing effect in them. They stop bacterial growth and increase healing in the skin.'

'No, No, No! There's another meaning in licking to animals too!'

'Are you seriously implying that to her, this is equal to a kiss?' Dark Sonic turned around, obviously not amused by Sonic's accusation.

'It's not entirely a kiss, it's just a sign of affection too. But taken a little differently then kiss is taken.'

'In what way..?'

'It's just… how do I put it… dirtier?'

'…you implying I'm making her unclean..?'

'Well, in a strange since. Just stop okay!? It's my body!'

'not anymore…' Dark Sonic turned around, smiling, he seemed to find a bit of pleasure in Sonic's concern.

Amy scrambled away, but Sonic kept crawling toward her. He was eyeing her arm, where another wound was. Small, but still dripping little drops of blood gently down her arm. Amy was speechless, just moving away from him. The dark clouds suddenly boomed loudly, and Sonic took his attention off of Amy for a moment to look up at it. 'I didn't order that…' he thought, till he heard something from behind him.

"Sonic… It's nice to finally find you."

Sonic turned around, his face serious. Amy stumbled to her feet, "S-shadow?" she whispered, and slowly looked to him and to Sonic. "What are you going to do to Sonic?"

"None of your concern, Rose. If I were you, I'd be running while I distract him." Shadow stood upon the large boulder they were once at, and Sonic slowly rose to meet his line of vision. "Run, Amy." he stated, very coldly, seeming to only be focused on Sonic.

Sonic smiled, "My brother." he finally spoke, causing Amy to move back in awe for a moment. His voice was deeper, more profound and over powering then his voice's usual carefree, and youthful sound.

"I am not your brother." Shadow spit out, angry as his fist filled with the same dark power that came from Sonic's fist.

"No, no. I mean, he's within you." Sonic pointed to Shadow. "He whispers and prompts you in the ways of darkness. He wishes to lead the rest of us with him. But we have already found a suitable host. He needs to now surrender and join us."

"The only one taking Dark Shade Stones here, is me." He dashed forward, but Sonic just closed his eyes and smiled. "Stop smiling!" he jumped up to punch him.

Sonic raised his hand and blocked his hit, sending him flying by raising his other hand and blasting him with dark power. "Brother, your host only has you and his anger to fuel him. While I have three of our brothers in this host. Come, join me. Why fight for who is better suited for us?" Sonic extended a hand out to Shadow, as if offering him a way out.

Shadow leapt to his feet. "Stop talking to me like I'm your fellow Dark Stone. It doesn't control me! I control it! Chaos control!" he shot his power at him, it was different then his normal chaos control though, it was much more darker and shined a evil wave of blackness around it.

Sonic flew in the air, and hovered over the spikes. "Let me show you, Brother. The benefits of this strong host." he opened his arms, and the spikes turned around. they became larger and larger with more Dark power as they were sent flying back to him. Shadow dodged a few but was still hit hard by some others.

He held one of his arms and glared at Sonic, "I'm the ultimate weapon! This Dark Stone only aids me in releasing my true power!" he started to charge up his power, calling out as he did so.

Amy was almost hit by the blast, if it weren't for Dark Sonic catching them she would have been a goner. She used this to finally get away, maybe to the mountains where she might get a signal? She looked around, 'Where are the mountains!?' she looked to the other side of her, 'Oh, there they are!' she dashed, hoping Dark Sonic wouldn't follow her. Something inside her wept pitifully, but she didn't know what was crying in her head. 'Oh, no. Not strange voices, PLEASE!' she thought to herself as she hustled to the mountain.

Dark Sonic saw her making a run for it, and was about to go after her when Shadow flew out after him. They started hitting each other with punches and kicks at multiple times. A blur to anyone who watched as Shadow got the upper hand and choas controlled to teleport behind Sonic. He rammed him hard on the back and he flew to a clashing blow on the ground. Shadow slammed down on him and punched his face down, Sonic looked up to see Amy disappearing in the Jungle's brush. "heh, heh. You let her get away.." he mumbled.

"If I were you, I'd focus more on me!" he punched his face down again.

"…heh, heh.. You let her get away…" he repeated.

"Stop laughing!" he punched him again and again, "I'm taking your Dark Stones Sonic! And becoming the most powerful creature alive!" he was about to dig his hand into Sonic's Soul when Sonic's whole body burst into dark energy emitting from him. Shadow was blasted away, he skidded to a halt as he crossed his arms into an X over his head and looked back at Sonic, wide-eyed.

Sonic slowly turned around, Fire glowing from his hands and lightening striking close to him. "…do you know how much that girl meant to Sonic..? Now he's fueling my power, thank you. I, too, will miss the little pink dot. But, very soon, we both won't have to miss her much now will we?" he smiled as he pumped up his power to even more heights. "I'm going to enjoy smacking you around, let her have some time to run. But no matter how far she runs, she'll still hear your cries of pain and mercy from anywhere on this island!"

Amy tripped on a rock, falling down she let out a weak, "Why?" and continued on. In the back ground she could hear explosions, blasts, and strange cries coming from where she had left. Climbing from the mountain, she tried desperately not to look back. She finally got to an area near a cave, and held up her phone. The wind was wild up there, and the black lightening she saw only hit one certain area. She wondered if Shadow would be okay, and if Sonic would even keep him alive.

"Come on Tails!" the phone read, Searching…

"Please, Tails!" the phone read, Searching…

"Work, dang it!" the phone's screen lid up, Calling…

"Amy..?" someone picked up.

"TAILS!" Amy exclaimed in pure joy.

"Amy! Am I glad to hear you! I've been trying to contact you, but I couldn't seem to get any contention."

"Tails…"

"Amy! Listen carefully!"

"Tails.."

"Amy..? Are you okay..? What is it..?"

"I'm just SO HAPPY to hear your voice again, you have no idea what I've been through." she was so happy, so ecstatic. Tails was gonna tell her what to do, FINALLY.

"I'm happy to hear your alright to Amy. Me and knuckles both. I'm sorry about what you must've been through but you must hear this! Rouge has found some more details on Sonic's condition. And don't worry, the plane flew us back home, but sadly it's to damaged to fly again… not for a while anyway."

"Tails! Sonic..?"

"Oh, right. So, as you know, there are eight Shade Stones right?"

"Eight what?"

"Shade. Stones. The things that turned Sonic into a Dark being?"

"Oh, that." she rolled her eyes, "he calls them his, brothers, or something like that. Yeah, go on?"

"Brothers? Well, anyway, he'll be practically unstoppable if he collects all four Dark Shade Stones. You, Amy, if you really want to help him. Need to collect the opposite of Dark Stones, Light Stones." Amy held her chest, the very mention of Light Stones made her heart suddenly flutter.

"Uh…okay?" she tried to understand why but she couldn't. Maybe it was the fact that she had found a way to save Sonic..?

"According to this, it says that Sonic can't fight back, since his darker self has so much power. Eggman placed three Dark Stones into Sonic, so with three Light Stones, Sonic could easily fight the evil in him!" Tails sounded hopeful. "You still there?"

"Thankfully, yes." Amy responded, her heart beating faster.

"Amy, you need to find those Stones!"

"Uh.. Tails?"

"What is it, Amy?"

"Shadows fighting Darky as we speak."

"…Darky..?"

"Opps, I mean Dark Sonic! And Shadow has a Dark Stone.. So.."

Tails didn't respond for a moment, then he yelled, "YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T GET THAT LAST DARK STONE!"

"….I might be too late.."

"Then, Amy Rose, you need to hustle and fast! Find those Light Stones and combat with Sonic! He's going to try to stop you, but the Light Stones should be able to add you. I hear if you find one, then it will attract you to the others."

"Great, really?" she looked in the cave. Something inside glowed. "….how will you know again?"

"It says the Stones will react with themselves."

Amy stretched her hand out, the light grew brighter.

"Is that all?"

"All for now, Amy. But stay clear from Sonic! If he does collect his last Dark Shade Stone, then we're in big trouble! Just remember to put him in the circle and chant these words, Thou= BEEEEEEEEPPPP."

"Tails…Tails?!"

"I'm so sorry, but your connection has failed to connect at your long distance. Please find a suitable area to reconnect with an available server-" she hung up.

"Well, at least I have you." she said, moving into the cave, the Stone was sitting on a ledge, and it slowly moved downward, gently tipping, but not falling. "Come'ere, stoney, stoney." she called, climbing up. Her hands were already sore from climbing before, but she had to keep going. She reached her hand up, standing on only one tippy-toed foot and stretched as far as she could. Her finger just barely grazed the stone, and it glowed as it moved toward her, and into her body. The same joyous feeling built up in her again, and she sighed at it's calmness.

'Just two more of us, and we will conquer my twin brother, and save your dear friend soon!'

'…yeah…wait, HEY!?'

Sonic tossed Shadow to the side, Shadow was severely injured, and Sonic picked him up by the tuff of his hair. "Now, brother. Come." he pierced Shadow's body, but again there was no wound, as he slowly peeled his hand out to reveal another Dark Shade Stone.

"N-..Noo…" Shadow fainted and Sonic tossed him aside.

"I would kill you, but I'm awfully busy and a little to happy to right now." Sonic watched his brother seep into himself. The pain was horrendous, he clinched down his teeth to stop any wanted screaming in pain. He then started to laugh through the pain, as the Real Sonic was cornered and crushed into a tight prison and the Dark other of himself laughed as a new power swelled him. The whole sky turned black with clouds as they all spiraled around him.
