(Someone needs to tell me these things are happening! I swear I'm behind a few days! NOT. COOL!)
Prompt: Protecting you.
"What? Is she not worth it?"
"Em..EMMM-EMM-MER!"
"Grr… If I act now… He'll get what he wants… but if I don't.."
"Quit dawdling, Hedgehog! She's getting a little dizzy~"
"AMY!"
"EMM!"
Amy's eyes went wide as he hung over the mountain side, roped up in Eggman's latest scheme for trying to kill Sonic.
He was actually after a mythical ore that could make his machines practically indestructible, but Sonic was trying to stay one step ahead…
Until now.
She was tied up with a piece of cloth over her mouth, making her unable to speak.
"I know the ore's around here somewhere, Sonic. And I'm sure you're friend over here would be more than THRILLED for you to tell me~"
Eggman was in a new robot, large in stature but thin around the arms and legs, mostly so he could scale and be agile on those parts, but it left his guns exposed, and just moments before, Sonic had spin-dashed each gun off the arms and bombs off the legs that would roll like soccer balls that he'd kick at Sonic.
"Time's a-ticking, blue boy! Better say your last words! Oh, about that, hahaha!"
"Emmemm-hemm!" Amy squirmed, but clearly was getting light headed from the altitude and all the swinging she was doing, plus, struggling took some wind out of ya too.
"…" Sonic narrowed his eyes, judging up the scene.
"She won't wait forever… okay, well, with this situation of DEATH hanging on the line she won't, but- Y-you get what I'm saying."
"Alright Eggman! I'll give…" Sonic clenched his teeth. "You've really gone past rotten, haven't ya, Eggy? The Ore's over the mountain and near the lakeside…"
"Oh, I don't expect to get it myself, now… do I?" He swung his prisoner over, showing he wasn't going to let her go that easily…
However, with the swing, Amy used the momentum to propel herself up, circling the robot's arm.
"Wha-wh-huh?" Eggman looked down at his robot's arm, seeing her double swing it and then wiggle her body to then land on the arm. "What do you think you're doing!?"
Sonic looked surprised a moment, before Amy stomped her foot and nudged her head towards Eggman.
"Oh, right. Thanks, Amy!" Sonic took off.
"Wha-wait-I… What was this silent communication all about!?"
Eggman quickly tried to use his other hand to get her, but she jumped up and it swung onto his other.
She then used the rope and swung again to get his two hands tied.
"Why you little-!"
Sonic had moved around the robot, weakening even further his legs. "Timber!" he cried out, as the robot started to fall back, it's hands tied.
"W-wai-wait nooooOO!" As Eggman started to topple, Sonic jumped up and grabbed hold of a swinging Amy.
The three started falling rapidly down the mountain, a large fall, so large so that the jet-engine on the robot wouldn't lit under the extreme winds, it's armor damaged enough that the insides of the robot could feel the gusting wind fanning the flame off.
"This is bad! At this rate, we're all going to get squished like insects!" Eggman cried out, looking back behind him, but when he turned forward, he saw Sonic untying Amy in mid-air.
"Oh, ho. You think you can save the girl but not me, eh? See if I'll make that an option!" Eggman swung his arms up, and Sonic and Amy were separated!
"Hahaha! Let's see your 'true love' break out of this bind! Haha…ha.. what on earth!?"
Eggman looked to see Sonic smirking.
"Well, you look relieved." Eggman blinked his eyes, and then turned his head up to Amy.
She had already gotten enough room from his help to get a hand out, and she was able to pull herself out of the ropes and then start pulling herself back to the robot.
"Since when could you save yourself?!"
"Since I taught her how to untie a knot with one hand!"
Sonic was lassoed by the rope and pulled down to the robot as well.
"Is it just me, or is this whole 'rescue' thing a little one-sided…" Eggman looked back, "Not to mention this fall is EXTREMELY LONG!"
Sonic and Amy held one another with one arm around the other, their hair still flying all around them as they smiled together.
"We defend each other!" Amy had pulled off the cloth. "That's why love works!"
Sonic sweat-dropped nervously, not replying, but smiled.
"OHHH YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF ME! Huh?"
The two ran up the robot and grabbed him, before jumping off.
"Oh, you saved me! thank you, thank you, thank you!"
The robot exploded as Sonic and Amy threw Eggman into a tree, and then rested on the one next to it.
"Whoo! What a rush!" Amy exclaimed, before putting a hand to her hair. "Ah! My hair!"
"Looks better that way." Sonic kid, as his hair was awfully messed up too. "But still… Eggman knows where the ore is now.." He glared back at the old villain, sobbing in joy that Sonic still saved him from that air-lock he was trapped in, his machine not thrusting him out like it was suppose too.
Amy giggled, and whispered back to him, "Sit tight, my daring hero~ I have a surprise for you~" she pulled out the mineral ore quickly, before tucking it away again.
"Ah!" Sonic leaned up, "When did you-?"
"Before Eggman caught me, shush!" she put a finger to his lips, before winking to him. "We protect each other~"
He moved his face from her finger, but smiled a goofy grin. "Thanks,… Amy. I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to surprise me."
She squee'd, "And I hope impress you~" she placed both hands on the side of her face. "Aww! That made my day!"
"You made mine!" Sonic admitted, before Eggman snickered behind them.
He clicked a button, "Well, it was nice to feel loved for a moment, but I have an ore to steal! hahaha!" Cubot and Orbot flew over with his Eggpod, and he billowed a hardy laugh before coughing and complaining about the altitude and flew off.
Sonic smirked, and relaxed on the branch. "Think we should tell him?"
"Nah! Let him have his moment." Amy looked up through the trees. "…Hey!" she looked down to notice Sonic never removed his hand from around her.
He suddenly looked down, and saw her staring, "What?"
"You're… You're still holding me…" she blushed, looking towards him.
"Heh, old habits, I guess." he moved his hand, winking.
"Wait no!" she grabbed his hand and put it back. "It was nice! I felt safe! Besides, we're still pretty high up in the trees… I could fall.." she sneakily got closer to him, laying down a bit.
"H-hey! The more you do that and we'll both fall!" Sonic pushed her away a little, getting up himself to look down.
"Ohh~ Admit it! You still like saving my life~" she beamed, smiling a huge grin at him.
He gave her a look back, and rolled his eyes. "I could push you and let you save yourself?" he joked a threat.
"Ah! You wouldn't dare!" she pulled away, putting her hands to her hips.
He put his lips in a 'fish face' and lowered his eyelids, "What's wrong? Don't want to be your own hero now?"
"I think you worry I won't need you anymore! That's why you're always teasing me like this. You can't stand the idea of me growing up and not needing to be saved by you." She folded her arms and looked away. "Admit it, you want to hold me more often but you only wait to save the day for the opportunity too. If you can't save me, you can't hold me. Isn't that right~?" she smirked a cruel look back, but he was gone.
"H-huh? Sonic? Sonic!?" she called out, looking frantically for him. "Soonicc!"
"Miss me?" he popped his head down and spooked her, having her stumble off the branch.
"SOONIIICC!"
he laughed, and raced down to catch her.
When he did so, he chuckled once more and then glared triumphantly down to her. "We protect each other, right? More like I protect you 80 percent of the time!"
"Oh, you're just a big, fat jerk!"
"Hey, watch the weight talk. You know I'm sensitive about how I look." He joked, teasing apparently an inside joke he knew with her.
"AH! I mentioned my weight ONE TIME."
"Oh, Sonic~ I'm light a as feather~ Totally not trying to hint that I want you to carry me off or anything just as fast~" He did a girly impression of the inside joke as she blushed and put her hands to his face, pushing him away.
"STOP IT!" she shook her head, embarrassed.
He laughed more, before putting her down, but his arm still around her.
Funny enough, she didn't notice this time, and just kept yelling at him.
He put a hand to his hip. "Man, I actually miss the days when you'd gush over a time I saved you." he kid again… or did he?
"Hmph! Well, if you miss it that much, maybe I should just bring more nostalgic feels and ask you to marry me again! I'm a grown, mature woman who can swipe mineral ore all by herself now! I don't have to ask for your hand, you should be asking for mine!"
"….I'll settle for your 'feather weight'." she didn't notice, but he looked at her differently just then…
"OHH! Knock it off! Sonic The Hedgehog!"
He laughed,… but he skillfully pulled her closer when she threw her fit…
