Ch.11

By: Cutegirlmayra1 (the LAST one ;v;… man, I've been putting this off for like.. EVER. It's gonna be tough… but I'm gonna try and give you guys the best satisfying ending I possibly can type. Forgive the lame fight scenes if any should appear…Thank you for reading till the very end! Engoy~)

Sonic's ear twitched at Amy's cry. "A..Amy…" he slowly got up, with each movement, he remembered, little by little, a promise he had made long ago. "That day…."

Dark Sonic momentarily stopped his assault of pounding fist into the barrier in front of Amy's strained body, looking very ticked off and not amused by Sonic's sudden stand. Amy looked to him through squinted eyes through pain and desperation.

"When Metal Sonic had stolen you… right after I had left you… in that instant, I swore to always protect you… no matter what the cost." Sonic lifted one knee up, and then pushed on it so that his whole body could now stand up straight. "Dark Sonic… your case is no different. I won't let you hurt Amy anymore… and I most certainly won't let you take over my body either. Amy…" he looked back to her kindly after glaring at Dark Sonic, who glared right back and tightened his fist, ready for the approaching battle. "When you said that you'd rather bring back my dark other… because he at least knew how to show some loving affection toward you… I was actually very angry that you said that…" he began to walk toward Dark Sonic, very slowly. "I know I haven't exactly been the kindest toward your feelings for me, but it's not like I push you so far away that you can't ever find me right?" his steps echo in the barrier, filling the aurora of the area with powerful vibes of intensity. "I don't need any Stones… or any Chaos Emeralds either.. I'll defeat Dark Sonic… and prove that I'm Amy's Hero!" he spun attack into Dark Sonic, Amy was on the verge of tears in shock and surprise. He was going to fight to prove he cared about her,… more than anyone else.

"Sonic…" she said through teary eyes, she looked down and wept. It must have been the nicest thing she'd ever heard him say concerning her.

"Weak."

Amy let out a gasp and turned around, "Shadow?!" he stood behind her, arms to the side, holding Eggman's and his own Chaos Emerald in his hands. "But I thought you-?"

"Silence, I'm only returning the debt I owe you. You could of left me in that caved in sink hole.. But you didn't. Mariah…" he took out the heart shaped locket with Mariah's picture inside it. "would of wanted me to repay your kindness. Even if it was unnecessary. I'm the ultimate weapon, I would have been healed in hours. However," he turned back to her, "I might not care much about Sonic… but I will help you, only for your sake, I'll care." he took up the Chaos Emeralds. "Sonic, you sure you don't want these?"

Sonic hit away Dark Sonic for a moment, and looked to Shadow in shock. With a cunning smile, he winked and raced toward that side of the barrier. "Do you mind, Amy?" he said, in his usual care-free tune.

"LET HIM HAVE IT!" Amy cried out, as Shadow nodded and threw in the Emeralds. They circled around Sonic. He happily arose in the air, and let the emeralds encircle themselves inside of him.

Dark Sonic turned around from recovering from the blast, he put his arm up to his eyes and winced at the light from the Chaos Emeralds. "What is this!? How is there a power that rivals my own?"

On the ground, barely alive, Light Sonic smiled, "It's power is greater than even us, brother. Your end, as well as mine, will finally allow us to rest once again."

Dark Sonic glared at his brother, "You may fall, brother. But as for me, I will never surrender to such pathetic creatures!" Dark Sonic held out his hands, shooting a massive ball of dark energy to the defenseless Light Sonic. However, Light Sonic closed his eyes, almost at peace.

"I believe you can rid the world of us, Sonic. You and Amy are pure in heart.. I can sense it. I can fall in contentment, knowing there are heroes of light that can still fight the darkness of the world."

"VOICE!" Amy cried out, as the small orbs of light slowly popped and fell away. As the dust cleared, four Light Stones remained on the ground, cracked and drained off all color or light.

"Light…!" Sonic held out his hand but was to late, "I won't let you fall in vane. Good always beats evil, Thank you for everything." he held his fist to his face for a moment, a warrior's mourn for a lost friend. Closing his eyes for a minute he opened them and blasted through the air and toward Dark Sonic. Gold and dark blue streaks skimmed the sky line, fireworks of powerful and mighty blast followed every collision.

Amy tensed at the pain, as Shadow put his hand lightly on her shoulder, not saying a word but showing his support. She smiled and nodded to him, then she straightened herself out and looked serious toward the battle that raged beyond the natural eyes. It was so fast, but also so beautiful, however threatening it may be. Dark Sonic separated from Sonic, and they both took a moment to breathe, looking at one another with an intensity that no one could describe. "Heh… you really think you've got even the slightest chance of winning, mortal?"

Sonic huffed out a laugh, "Last I figured, you weren't even mortal or immortal. Your just a thing!"

Dark Sonic clinched his teeth at the words, but then laughed loudly, "So you claim your fighting for Amy right..?" Sonic didn't respond, only stared at him with threatening and piercing eyes.

"Don't make me laugh, I've seen your memories. She's such an annoyance to you that she could be the equivalent of a unwanted beggar that won't leave your doorstep. How dare you lie to her by telling her you even care the slightest for her? She's to blind to see that all you do with her is use her as a source of free food."

Amy gasped, she remembered the first time Sonic actually came to visit her in her home. She was ecstatic, and he was gripping his stomach and asking for some of her home cooked chilidogs that she once made a long time ago. She was so happy that she invited him to come around every lunch time, or whenever he got the munchies, and eat some of her home cooked meals with her. He agreed to it, but he always stayed so far away from her chair at the table, maybe because she would always try to hand feed him and it made him uncomfortable. But even so.. Those memories of Sonic were something she held dear to her heart. Hearing Dark Sonic's words, it literally crushed her. She flung her head down, her eyes shaking back and forth rapidly. What if this whole time, Sonic was really just using her? Not truly caring about her feelings at all? It's true he had done some rotten things to her before, like that time on the cruise ship with Chris where he had made her believe he wanted her and that he missed her show of strength with her hammer. She had flung her Piko Piko hammer all over the ship after that, fantasizing all about there new life together. Till she found out he was just so desperate to get off the ship that he used her. But even then she forgave him… could she forgive him of tricking her like this though..? Pretending to be her friend only for gain or kicks?

Shadow removed his hand from her shoulder, "..Amy?" he asked, looking at her with little to no expression besides a little curious of her thoughts.

"Besides, it's not like anyone could love her anyway…" Dark Sonic Shrugged.

"….How dare you…"

Amy quickly looked skyward again, tears staining her face as she strained to look hopelessly up at Sonic's glowing golden state. His voice had boomed even louder than that of the thunder that stirred and quieted from his statement. Shadow looked up, and Dark Sonic shut his mouth a moment, ready to hear his response.

"How dare you say that about Amy. Any man in his right mind would be glad to have such devotion placed upon his name." The glare in Sonic's eyes made even Dark Sonic brace himself. "You wouldn't understand our emotions, Darky was it? Because you lost all feeling of really caring about someone. It's true that I may not always like all the smothering I get from Amy… but that doesn't mean she's any less my friend. She has and will always be my friend, till the end of our days. And as long as she continues to call me her hero, I'll never leave her side. No, she is not annoying. No, she is not my source of free food. And yes, someone could love her and… does." Super Sonic looked gently down at Amy with a very small but sweet smile. "He just never knew it he did."

Amy looked up flabbergasted, her tears turned to that of joy as she heard his words, "Sonic…" she let out his name in such loyal admiration and love that any man would fall jealous to it.

"HMPH, your flattery won't gain you any assistance!" Dark Sonic powered up, charging in his hands a ball of darkness that looked similar to the one shot at in the beginning to Tail's plane.

Sonic turned his gaze back to Dark Sonic, looking completely calm and satisfied. "Mending any broken heart serve a hero well, it gives them to courage to fight on." Sonic grinned and charged his own energy field of chaos power around him.

Amy finally knew what Ol'Wizy meant by Protecting him is to much, loving him is too little. You can't just protect someone forever… and you can't just love them either. You have to find the gray in black and white. So, Sonic sees her as a friend, he still feels strongly for her. Enough to love and protect, but also keep his distance and stay friends. There will always be black and white, but there will also be the gray that is one's heart. Yin and Yang with the dots of each color inside the other. Amy had always just wanted his affection and attention, but what she didn't realize was she was getting it along. Just not the way she envisioned it.

Dark Sonic let loose his lazer of impeccable size and immense power. Shadow jumped in-between the barrier and Amy's hands, spreading out he blocked most of the power's blast wave that soared out of barrier. The wind rushed by them as Amy was sure she would faint if Sonic dodged and it hit the barrier, but she still wanted him to be safe, she would take the hit if it meant Sonic would be okay. But Sonic didn't move, he shot his own beam of yellow power toward Dark Sonic's. the blast encircled the area, and Amy and Shadow were both flung off there feet and flew through the air from the impact of the two. Shadow grabbed Amy and rotated them to where he would hit the ground and not Amy. "Sh-shadow.." Amy looked up at him, he slowly got up, groaning.

"I'm fine.." he replied, then they both looked back to the spell circle. The clouds cleared, and through the mist of the arena they saw a single figure walking towards them.

"SONIC!" Amy cried out before Shadow pulled her back and quickly got on his feet. "Shadow?! Let me go! It's Sonic, he won!" she struggled to get free, but her poor body couldn't take anymore and she limped in Shadow's arms.

Shadow lifted her up and held her bridal style, "Amy… that's not him…look closer.." the words were grave, and Amy looked horrified at the Shadowy figure's dark energy emitting a strong and horrible presence.

"No…no…NOOO!" Amy cried out, she couldn't believe it, how could he have won?! She kicked and rubbed her tear stroked face against Shadow's chest fur. "NO!…please…no.."

But then, the Shadowy figure fell, and a new figure took it's place behind it. Shining light a star in a dreary night sky it shined and emitted a wave almost equal to the sun's power light. The stones below lost there dark power, and became nothing more than stones again. The figure Stomped on each of the Stones as he made his way over to Amy and Shadow. The Light stones must have been destroyed by the blast. In a far off distance, you could hear a voice calling out,

"Lenayah!"

Shadow's grim look turn to that of a smile, "Amy… look." She didn't want too, but Shadow nudged her face to the side with a movement of his arm and shoulder. She turned and looked like a child as she wiped her face of her tears. When she saw the new figure walking toward them, she opened her mouth to a grin and was at a lost of words.

Super Sonic approached Shadow, and when close enough, stopped and put his hands on his hips. "Thanks for taking care of her for me while I took care of business." he joked.

"Hmph.." Shadow looked down and smiled while closing his eyes, he looked up with a sly expression. "You ought to keep a better watch over her. She's a magnetic for trouble."

Sonic nodded, "I know that! More than anyone, I know that." he teased, and they both shared a small laugh together. Sonic outstretched his arms, "Well, I can take care of things from here. Thanks Shadow-"

"Let's get one thing straight, I did this to repay a debt of gratitude. Not for you." Shadow stated bluntly.

Sonic looked a bit shock but laughed it off, "Alright, Alright. But your still going to give me her, right?"

"Hm, certainly, I have no need of her." he handed Amy to Sonic, who carefully held her as she breathed heavily out of exhaustion. She could barely keep her eyes open now, she felt so weak but she still smiled at him. Sonic lowered his eye lids at her sweet smile, his glowing red eyes seemed to pierce right through her, almost in an instant she was comforted into falling back and into a deep sleep.

Shadow watched with a surprisingly kind smile as well as he looked away with a 'humph.' and began to walk away. "Shadow!" Sonic cried out, Shadow's pleasant face turned to serious again as his smile wiped away. "where are you going now?"

"Where ever I can get as far away from you two, love sick, morons as possible." he smiled again as Sonic looked confused on how to answer that. As Shadow began to walk away he stopped for a moment and smiled, "If she really is as precious to you as you just said.. Then don't let me have to protect her again. Isn't that your job?"

Sonic nodded with his usual cocky grin. "You bet! Always and forever."

"Good… Because you wouldn't want me stepping in to pick up her tears if ever you were to break her heart again." The Chaos Emeralds swarmed around Shadow as he turned Super as well, then they flew back to Sonic's side and circled back into him.

"Wait.. What? Shadow.. Don't tell me you-!" but before Sonic could finish Shadow just laughed and zoomed off into the sky. The X tornado dodge his advance as he became nothing more than a shooting star moving across the sky in the distance. Sonic was a bit shaken but deicide to treat it as nothing more than a tease and flew up to Tail's plane. "What took you so long?"

"SONIC! Your alright! And Amy… AH! Amy looks beat to the bone! What happened?" Tails was glad to see Sonic, but one look at Amy's condition sent him into a whirl of worry. He leaned out of his chair as he looked upon her weakened body.

"Tails, it's good to see you too bud-….dy…" Sonic's golden shine quickly left him as he and Amy slowly leaned toward Tails.

"Huh..? Sonic…S-So-Sonic!?" Tails waved his hands in the air as he noticed that they were both falling on him. They ended up doing so, and Tails had to move there limp and exhausted bodies to the back. "whew, you guys look more worn out then Eggman having to think up another doomed plan to destroy Sonic." Tails joked as he put the hood of the X-tornado's shield back on and flew off. Sonic lay leaned up against Amy, as she leaned up against him on the seat, looking peaceful and relaxed beside one another.

Morning arose quickly it seemed for the two, as they looked to the side and noticed they were on the same bed, causing them both to freak out and move away. Sonic fell off the bed and leaned up against the side of the bed with a grumpy look on his face. His spines all messed up and almost as bad as Amy's bed hair too. They both looked to Tails who was holding a blanket of some sort with Knuckles chuckling beside him. "Told ya it was a bad idea to place them together like that." Tails turned to Knuckles, who was laughing really heard now.

"Aw, come on. It was revenge on Amy for saying those things to me before jumping out all crazy like that. Besides, there expression was hilarious!" another burst of laughter erupted from him, and the blanket in Tails's arms started to cry.

"Uh-oh. Knuckles your too loud! Shh, shh.. There there.." he began to bounce the little blanket up and down, the whining ceased with giggles.

"Tails…is that..?" Amy crawled over the bed, and peered into the blanket. A little plant person looked up at her, with big purple eyes. She had a flower, like a bud on her head that had two long Stamen that came out and drooped gracefully as it supported the Anther's on top. Amy let out a gasp as the cute little baby girl giggled and looked curiously at Amy. "SHE'S ADORABLE!" she let out. The baby got startled and started crying again.

"A-Amy!" Tails moved away from her and cooed sweet and pleasing words to the baby that made it stop crying again. "don't shout, it scares her."

Amy placed her hands over her mouth, then separated them to let out a high pitched whisper, "Sorry!".

"Tails… you? A dad?" Sonic got up, still a bit weak but was able to move over to see the child too, "looks a lot like Cosmo. What are you gonna name her?" asked Sonic, as Tails looked at his little girl with a fatherly smile. "..I've decided.. Cosmic. So if she ever asks me about her mother, I can tell her to look in the mirror."

Amy almost cried, "Why can't you say cute things like that to me Sonic!"

"What? Tell you look like Cosmo?" Sonic looked confused as he turned to Amy.

"No, No. I mean tell me sweet things that make me happy like that!"

"Well, okay then." Sonic crawled up on the bed. "You're a very strong girl."

"That isn't romantic at all." Amy said, disappointedly as she folded her arms and pouted.

Sonic cocked up an eyebrow with a sneaky smile, "And who said I wanted to be, eh? All your fantasizing about me has made your expectation for me to high. Now your just setting yourself up for disappointment." he waved his hand as if to brush the subject away.

"Well, maybe you should take that as a compliment that I expect you to be the world's greatest lover." Amy tried to get out the bed but she was to weak to really stand, so she wobbled as she made her way over to Tails's computer desk, which she used as support.

"Oh really?" Sonic moved over to her and tapped her down.

"HEY!" Amy let out a frustrated yell. Both Tails and Knuckles looked confused at the two's sudden show of cute affection for one another and looked stumped on how it all happened. "What was that for..?" Amy was momentarily silenced by Sonic Kissed her cheek quickly, moving his hand under her chin he smiled a wicked grin.

"Now, my dear Amy, who ever told you I wasn't?"

"I never doubted…" Amy said, almost robotically as the surprise of the moment left her whole face bright red, beaming even the color out light a flashbulb. "Oh Sonic…" she was about to put her arms around him but he speedily retreated out the door.

"…..Sonic…?" she looked behind her, both Tails and Knuckles looked genuinely confused, scarred, unsure, and most importantly freaked out. Mouth open wide they gawked at the scene they just witnessed before them. Amy looked at them and pouted, "Told ya he liked me." she said with a sly grin and then got up and tried her best to dash to the door, "He's still a bit worn out, as am I. I should be able to catch up to him if I keep a steady pace.." she mumbled to herself as she tried to jog out the door, not having the full strength to run just yet. "Sonic…Sonic…"

"SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNIIICCC !"
