Sonic and the Shade Stones

By: Cutegirlmayra (I'm not the BEST at fighting scenes so… bear with.)

Ch.9

Amy giggled nervously, "Alright, alright. So I can still defend eh? Then, the only logical explanation is.." but before Amy could finish her train of thought, Dark Sonic zoomed in for better range. She yipped at his speed and flew down, dodging through the jungle, she was able to keep him far from her. He growled ferociously and shot forth billions of dark energy balls. Amy looked back and saw the bubble was still protecting her. "Okay… Offense, offense, offense!" she said, moving her body and placing her hands in front, the bubble detached itself and formed a circle-ish net, catching the dark orbs without having them explode. Like some sort of ramp, she redirected his attack back at him.

He was stunned at first, seeing his attack be redirected back at him and he stopped and guarded with his arms over his head in an X like fashion. The balls hit him dead on, but he used his power to have some of them stop in mid air, right before hitting him. "Heh, Heh… Sister, you fight?" he started to grin as his dark energy balls grew in size, and lightening bolts gave them extra electrical power. "Then, by all means. Let's see you fight." he released the dark balls back, flinging his arms out from there current position to have them go even faster. Amy gulped and tried the same method, but the balls were to big and blasted each other, she was flung by the blast back to the ground. Dark Sonic followed her, smashing her more against the ground. "Come out of my prey, sister. Fight your own battles!" he slashed at Amy, but instead of bringing the stones out, he withdrew his hand in agony and wobbled off of Amy, clutching it.

Amy quickly scrambled away and got on her feet, "What happened?" Amy asked, holding her hand to herself.

'He cannot touch me. I am pure light. Though, we may involuntary be pulled to one another, we cannot truly ever touch.'

"Really?" Amy smiled, her hand glowing with bright light. "Then that's his weakness?"

'Amy! Do be careful!'

"Always." Amy zipped forward with one push off the ground, she grabbed his face and singed his face. Cloud like mist steamed off his fur, and he cried out in Sonic's voice,

"Amy! Stop!"

Amy was thrown back by her Sonic's voice, the plea reaching her heart she moved off of him. Right when she got off Sonic he quickly held his face, then dark mist surrounded Amy's feet. "Amy…" His fur turned a lighter shade, when he opened his eyes he had dark blue eyes, instead of just glowing, misty eye sockets. When he saw her, he quickly looked up in shock and yelled at her in concern saying, "It's a trap!"

Amy was flung into a whirlpool, the darkness below her pulling her in vines that slashed over her, as if lasso's dragging her into it's pit. "AHHH!" she tried to use light, but it only made the vine's come more out, and push her further in. Sonic ran over and tried to grab her hand, "AMY!" he called, but then Dark Sonic took over.

"Sonic! Help me!" Amy cried, but his fur was already a deep, almost blackish blue again. He smiled, and let her hand go, "I'll see you again soon,…Amy… Soon…" he stood up and watched as she was completely swallowed by the whirlpool.

'You monster! How dare you use me!' Sonic was pulled back into his prison, though he struggled it sucked him in and he was caged in. curling up in a tight ball again he glared at Dark Sonic.

'…All is fair in love and war…' responded Dark Sonic, wiping the ashes off his face. He held some of the ashes in front of his face, 'She has found a way to attack, to bad she didn't realize in time that in order to defeat me. She had to use light power and not my own.' he walked over to Sonic's cage and dropped the ashes over his head. Smiling, he stated, 'Don't worry about the girl anymore, Sonic. She's mine now, and with me. Safe and sound.'

'But for how long…?' Sonic spit out through gritted teeth. 'I swear if you lay one finger on her-'

'You'll what? You don't have your will anymore, Sonic.' he grabbed Sonic's chin, forcing him to look at him. 'Haha, you don't even the power to break through your spirit cage. Besides,' he let his head go and began to walk back to the big screen. He held up his index finger, 'this is your finger.'

Amy woke up in some strange, tower room. She was on a lovely red bed, and above her was a princess light canopy. She looked around, the rest of the room was very old century, a desk and some drawers. Even a little chest at the end of the bed, but what really made her flip out was that the top of the ceiling looked like Eggman's old airship designs. She knew this, because Eggman's logo was right above her. She fell back on the bed and sighed in fustration. "Great, kidnapped. By Sonic." she piffed out a faint chuckle as she turned over. "the power of light really is useless.."

"I'm so happy you agree with me." Amy sat up and looked around. The sun was finally out, just a little, beaming through the thick cloud of smoke from the burning island. But not just that, the storm clouds looked liked they had fallen away too, could Amy have been a sleep that long? "I hope you like the accommodations I had arranged for you." Dark Sonic gestured to the room, walking in front of the bed and then past it to the window. He took a breath outside and then folded his arms, "Ah yes, it's amazing how carried away I get when I'm hunting sometimes…"

"What do you want with me?" Amy blurted out and quite crossly too. "I may have the power of light in me, but I'm thinking that normally you would of just the killed the person. So what's so special about me?"

Dark Sonic smiled, "Oh, nothing much. Just that you're the very reason Sonic wouldn't fight me when he still had a glimmer of a chance." he moved back into the room, and this time, was at the front of the bed.

"…Sonic wouldn't fight you… because of me? That doesn't make any sense! I should be the VERY reason why he's fighting you! You've been trying to kill me since day one!" she lost her temper for a moment there, but then tried to remain cool.

Dark Sonic laughed, and looked at her teasingly. "Oh really now? If he'd have fought me, I would of threatened to hurt you. He couldn't have that now could he? According to his memories, you and his other friends are pretty important to him. How could he still call himself a hero if he let you get hurt?" he stood in her direction now, "Oh, and there is one more thing…" he gripped the railing of the bed.

"And what is that..?" Amy felt so guilty, like all this time Sonic was trying to protect her, but because of her, he couldn't fight back and try to get his body again. She moved her head down in disgrace, but never took her off of Dark Sonic.

Dark Sonic lifted his head up again, "You still have yet to beg for your life…" he added, and slowly started moving over and across the bed. "It's beginning to tick me off how much stubbornness your able to possess…"

Amy started to move away from him, "D-don't come any closer…"

"Or what..?"

"…THIS!" she shown light in his face, it stopped him momentarily, but he just shock his head and moved her hand.

"Please, a little light performance like that can only work in the dark. And I'm well aware that you met my old master, however senile he may get don't believe a word he says."

"And why is that?" she kicked him, but he just grabbed her leg and pushed it under his own, making sure it stayed down.

"If you destroyed me, he would be free to reek havoc on the world once again. No man can change his heart.. Without me that is…" he moved closer to her.

She pushed him with her other hand, still shining light in his face. "I don't believe you! He truly cares about his daughter and he wants to make it right with everyone he's hurt again! He has changed! and all your excuses still don't lead to whatever your doing right now!" he looked at her curiously, "Oh? It doesn't make since what I'm doing right now..?"

"Whatever it is…it doesn't." she stated, he looked at her as if she was a fool and then bit her hand. "OW!" she cried out.

"Pay back for the log, you could say. But also, just to tick Sonic off a bit…"

"Tick Sonic off…? H-Hey!" She leaned back as he reached his head over and licked her cheek. "EHHHHHHHHHHH!?" she pushed him off. "What the..? GET OFF!" he pushed her down. Holding her hands back and looking at her fondly, but it was most likely a teasing look that held no real emotion.

"Come now, you think Sonic would ever be this charming with you?"

"Wha…what?"

"Please, he doesn't care for you in those regards." he huffed out weakly, "You really think he likes you? Your nothing more than a toy to him."

Sonic looked up from his cage, suddenly realizing what Dark Sonic was really trying to accomplish. 'Dark Sonic Don't! You'll break her heart!'

"..No… your lying…" the will to fight suddenly left Amy, she allowed him to push herself down till she was laying on the bed.

"Am I? Tell me, has he ever paid attention to you when food's not on the table..?" he bent closer to her ear. "How about ever caring when you trip and fall while chasing him. He knows you can't ever catch him, he just wants you to try. It's all fun and games to him." Amy's ears drooped down, her eyes started to fill up with tears.

"Lair.."

"Am I?"

"You have to be…. Sonic loves me…"

"No, he doesn't."

"Lair…"

She started to cry and Dark Sonic smiled, "however… I may be an exception.." he gently go her to get up a little, and stroked the side of her face. "He may not care for you in that way.. But that doesn't mean I don't see the worth in you. Just surrender to me, and I'll make you happy.." Amy looked up at him, he smiled and nudged her face slightly, rubbing his forehead to her's affectionately.

'Amy…Amy, he's trying to have you give up! Don't listen to him!'

'But he's right… he's right… Sonic never did pay much attention to me..'

'No, Amy! No! the minute you weaver is the minute he wins! He'll kill you once he knows your not a threat anymore! You're the only thing standing in his way because of how much you mean to Sonic! Listen to me, Amy! Amy!'

Light Amy's voice was soon just an echo in Amy, as Dark Sonic kissed her forehead and she didn't move. "… but how can you love… your evil…"

Dark Sonic smiled, "Love isn't always pure and innocent. Sometimes it can be dark, but still passionate."

'But does that make it real, Amy? If you give up now… we may never be able to free Sonic!'

'What's the use…? You can't fight… and I can be loved…'

'BY HIM!? Is that what you REALLY want?! Amy!'

Amy grabbed her head, "What more can I do?!" she screamed. She pushed Dark Sonic off of her and stood up. "VOICE! FIGHT THEN! FIGHT THE EVIL FOR A JUST CAUSE!"

'Amy… was this your plan the whole time?'

'Do you want me to surrender!? Then fight!'

'….Amy…for true love, I WILL FIGHT!'

"What's happening!?" Dark Sonic flew off the bed, Amy's whole body glowed with bright powerful light. Her fur turned into a pinkish white, her eye's faded into nothing more than a glowing black socket, similar to Dark Sonic's but with light. Her voice changed too, into a powerful but at the same time heavenly voice.

"Brother, I will preserve the balance you've so carelessly disrupted. And for Amy and Sonic's sake, I will destroy you!" Light Amy flew up in the air, Amy's red dress flowed gracefully as clouded mist swirled the room gently around her.

"Sister?!" Dark Sonic seemed shocked by her appearance, but then smirked. "Fight me? You dare say you can pull an act of violence, and be better than me!?"

"I will not be your downfall, Brother." she out stretched her arms. "You will do that for me."

"PROVE IT!" he leapt forward, Light Amy flew outside, the bright rays of the sun followed her every movement like a spot light. Dark Sonic Fired flames at her, she quickly turned around and when they reached her she absorbed them into light fire, and then like a flame thrower redirected them back to him. He cried out in agony as he was flown back into the side of his tower he had constructed out of Eggman's airship. The impact making the whole foundation shake and tremble.

"Y-you…. You know the end of this, Sister." he said, regaining his form. "We are evenly matched. Even by redirecting my attacks.. You and I will still fall the same way at the same time. It will always be a draw." he dashed toward her.

"Not without strategy, brother." she blocked with her metallic pearl bubble. He wasn't using any of his power now, it all came down to strength. She couldn't redirect physical attacks, only magical. "Give up brother, I'm barely even feeling a scratch." she teased from within her protective bubble. He growled and shot a beam of darkness into it. It shattered and she fled out quickly, still getting slightly hurt. He rammed into her, and they both started wrestling in the sky. 'Amy, how am I to weaken him when he won't attack with his dark power anymore!? I can only convert attacks he does and then redirect them after changing them to light power?.'

Amy was sitting down in the mind room, she was trying to think. Her little act got her to this point, but she realized that Dark Sonic's words still hurt her deep within herself. She tried not to think about it though. 'Okay.. Here's the plan..'

Dark Sonic finally got a few hits on Light Amy. She was falling into a near volcano. They had flown so far away from where they had began near the front of the island. They were now in the far off middle near the mountains. Light Amy dove into the hole of the volcano, dodging the rock slide Dark Sonic was creating to try and kill her. She quickly blasted a way for her to keep heading down. When she felt the heat of the buried magma, she summoned her bubble again and dived into it. Dark Sonic stopped, hovering above it he paced back and forth, wondering what she was doing. Then, a blast of light, a flash of chance, a large head arose from the magma. The whole volcano looked as though it erupted as Dark Sonic speedily made his way out, while what looked to a dragon shining with light and made entirely of magma came ripping out of the ground, making boulders fly off into the island like meteors. The dragon clawed at the Dark speck in the sky known as Dark Sonic, as he seemed to be shaken by the Light Stones powers.

'Great idea Amy! But how will I be able to attack like this…?' Light Amy looked back at her friend.

'Really?' Amy looked at her as if she was dumb.

'I cannot attack him without him attacking me.'

'Well, then. Give him a reason to attack.'

'R-Right…!'

The dragon spit out a flood of magma, aimed at Dark Sonic. In a rush to protect himself, he formed a bubble of his own around himself and spined into a ball, rushing at Light Amy.

'He can't defend himself. He can only attack. Just like how I can't attack but I can defend.'

'Good, we'll use that against him! Grab him and blast him with his own attack!'

'Got it!'

The dragon grabbed Dark Sonic's bowling ball of destruction that had left holes oozing on the side of the magma dragon. It swung him in the air and then slowly morphed the ball of darkness into slowly becoming a ball of light.

"W-what?! Impossible! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Dark Sonic called out as he was engulfed by his own bubble into one of pure light. He fell down to the ground unconscious.

'…Amy.. We did it, Amy! We won!'

'YAY HA! Take that, baby! Whooho! Don't mess with the ladies in the dress! Yay! Woot! Holler! That' s what I'm talking about! Yeah! Power of light! ~She was blinded by the light!~' Amy danced up and down in her mind room. Light Amy just stared and watched her in confusion. Amy awkwardly stopped and straightened herself out. 'We.. ehem.. did it.'

Amy returned to normal as the magma went back to it's crater below the volcano and floated down toward Dark Sonic's limp body. "Welp, I guess this is goodbye, voice.. I think I might actually miss you… heh, how's that eh? It's like I'm telling the doctor I don't want to have the voices in my head go away. Hehe." she seemed to be hiding her sadness at losing her friend, but she knew she had too. It was the only way of helping Sonic. "Be his strength okay? Not another body snatcher."

'Of course, and I would never!' Light Amy teased. "hehe, I'll miss you too, Amy. Don't give up, no matter what happens. That's something you taught me. That you can fight for a good reason.'

Amy put her hand forth, and the four Light Stones gently slipped out of her body, and floated around her out stretched hand. "Good bye, buddy. And please.. Don't let me down." she slowly lowered them into Sonic's body.

(I started flipping out and feeling really weird about writing Dark Sonic with Amy.. IN A BED kinda thing… but she needed to give Light Amy a solid reason to fight, still… it was just plain out creepy. 0-o; You know how I'm writing Zelda back to back with this story? It's funny, because Amy is in the same situation Zelda is kinda in with her being trapped with Dark Link too.. A lot of Darks in my stories huh..? Wonder what that's saying about me…0-0... Anywho - - I started thinking this as I wrote this story…

Amy: ZELDA! HELP! I totally understand how you feel now!

Zelda: hahaha…-awkward laugh- yes well.. At least you had someone to fight with you.. I'm on my own…

Amy: oh Zelda… don't worry! I'm sure the author won't let you suffer! Plus, she's innocent! Your not gonna get-

Zelda: AMY!

Amy: I was gonna say injured! Injured!

LoL….. That reminds me.. I need to work on Legend of Zelda, a hero rewakens now… dang, and it's so late too XP … tomarrow is a fine looking day… maybe then…)
