"Amy's Quest" ~(CHAPTER 1)~ Dr. Lidia Shotwell stared out the window into the labroom. She watched the contest, which only married people could enter. The judge walked up to each table, looking at each project closely. Soon, he walked up to the audience. "I have declared the winners," he announced. "The Yellow Ribbon goes to...Dr. Mr. and Mrs. Fayuot for their Solar System Revolvment." He handed them the ribbon. "The Red Ribbon goes to... Dr. Mr. and Mrs. Keyyloworf for their Water System Tank." The red ribbon went to them. "And finally...the Blue Ribbon goes to... Dr. Mr. and Mrs. Roflazion for their system of the Chaos Emeralds." He handed them the the Blue Ribbon, and a trophy. Shotwell stared angrily from the windows. Dr. Amy Roflazion was once her best friend, but in their teens, she stole her one and only boyfriend, Dr. Soniank Roflazion. Ever since then, Shotwell couldn't find another guy she liked. The scientist couples left the lab room, with their experiments and such. Amy and Soniank walked out. Shotwell ran up to them. "Amy. ..um, congratulations for your winning," she said. Amy smirked. "Thanks," she said, "A little cheering would've been nice too." Shotwell just looked at her. "Too bad you're not married, Lidia," Amy continued. "That idea of yours would've landed you where I am now." She walked off with her husband. "And by the way," she called back, "Thanks for 'lending' it to me!" Lidia only growled. The Chaos Emerald System was her idea. She just told it to Amy, which led her into Victory Circle. At least she didn't tell her about the zones she created, but she was too angry about Amy to think about that now. She turned back to the window, and watched as the people started exiting, only leaving behind empty tables. She thought about how much she would like to be married. All those women who competed, they were ay least a few years younger. Amy was at least six years lower than Lidia. She then thought how much Soniank would be as a great husband. He really was a doll, always thought about everyone else before himself, and was quite a 'ladies man'. But she couldn't feel it, for only Amy could. Amy...the name kept going in Lidia's head in anger and jealousy. How dare she take her boyfriend! How dare she take her idea of the Chaos Emerald System! If there was anything she'd do for revenge... That night, Shotwell stayed at the lab through the night, saying that she had to work on an important project due in two days. Just when the place seemed empty, and no one else was left in but the janitor, she walked silently down the hall to Amy's lab room. She turned the knob, but then remembered. <(Damn...)> she thought, <(The door's locked!)> She knew that Amy would have the only key...then again... The janitor had a skeleton key to go into every lab room to clean them. Just out of luck, the janitor came walking down the hall, whistling a tune, something that sounded like 'Sonic Boom'. Shotwell hid in the door slot, until he came to her room, then punched his lights out. He fell unconscious to the floor. She bent down and took the key, slid it into the lock, turned, and opened the door. She looked around, until she saw the Chaos Emerald project, sitting on Amy's desk. It was a small cemented platform, with seven small tubes, and a Chaos Emerald sitting in each. She picked it up. <(I'll show her...)> She rose it above her head, but some mystic power kept her holding it up, instead of letting her smash it to the ground. She lowered it, and stared deeply into it. Suddenly, holding tightly, she dashed out of the room, out of the building, into her car, and drove back to her apartment. Lidia may have beeen angry and jealous at Amy, but taking her Chaos Emeralds wasn't for revenge...it was like a power-hungry source. The project sat in the middle of her living room floor. Lidia sat Indian style over it. The mystic powers of the Chaos Emeralds gleamed on her, and she stared amazed. She never felt this strange power before. It started to call for her. "Lidia Shotwell.....Lidia..... Shotwell..." Lidia felt herself touching the Chaos Emeralds. It was almost as if the Chaos Emeralds were controlling her. She picked it up, and rose it straight above her head. This felt like it was her project...not Amy's. Amy....the name rang into her head once again. Amy Roflazion... that hellcat, taking whatever was Lidia's. She will pay... and Soniank will once again be hers. "Amy will PAY!" Lidia screamed, the Chaos Emeralds still above her head. Suddenly, the Chaos Emeralds started glowing, and a power came out, and covered her body. Lidia was too caught in her own anger to hardly realize what was going on. She then started screaming at the top of her lungs, as the powers devoured her whole. A long moment later, she dropped the Chaos Emeralds. Her skin was all green, and her black hair turned webby brown. The last thing on her mind was Amy, and how she'd make her pay for her misery. "Amy shall pay..." croaked the voice of the 'monster'. ~(CHAPTER 2)~ Sonic and Amy Rose sat by Never Lake. Sonic skipped stones, as Amy just sat on a rock watching him, cute little hearts in her eyes. Sonic turned to her, and held up a stone. "You wanna try?" he offered. Suprised, Amy jumped off the rock and raced up to Sonic. "Sure," she responded. She took it and hurtled it at the lake, only making a big splash. Sonic picked up another stone, and placed it in Amy's hand. He then took her arm and put it in a tossing position. "Keep your arm up like this, and then at the same level, just toss it!" He pulled on her arm, making the stone land on the water, skipping a few times. "Way to go, Amez," said Sonic, looking down at her, but then got a weird look, seeing that Amy wasn't paying attention. She was just standing there, enjoying Sonic's touch on her arm. He quickly let go. "Don't start getting any ideas, kid," he said. Amy's daydream and Sonic's concentration of skipping rocks were suddenly cut off by the sharp virbration of someone landing behind them. They both turned to see a woman-like creature, yet with green skin and webby hair, and a scientist suit. "Out of my way, pipsqueaks," she growled, "I, Dr. Shotwell, COMMAND you to!" "Pft! Why should we, Miss Robotnik-wannabe!" Sonic snapped, crossing his arms. Amy mimicked him. Shotwell swung a fist at the hedgehogs. "Whoa! Get back, Amy Rose!" Sonic cried, pushing Amy aside, moving away himself. "Amy....Rose..." Shotwell mumbled. She thought about Amy. Amy Rose... Amy Roflazion! "Amy!!" she screeched, "I will finally get my revenge!!" She jumped at her, claws popping out, ready to slash the little hedgehog. "LOOK OUT, AMY!!" Sonic screamed, running at Amy, and pushing her out of the way, before the claws could get to her. Shotwell ended up slashing Sonic's elbow. He cried out in pain, and fell to his knees. "Sonic!!" Amy cried, standing up. Another sound came to her mind. Sonic... Soniank! "Soniank...I'm so sorry.." she cried in a faint whisper. Sonic rubbed his shoulder. "Who?" he asked. "Soniank," said Shotwell getting next to Sonic, "Think twice this time! Are you sure you want to be with a hellcat like Amy?" She pointed at Amy Rose. "Who ya callin' hellcat?!" Amy snapped. "She's not a hellcat.. um..Shotwell, is it? She's a great girl, and one of my best friends!" Shotwell picked him up. "Yo!!" Sonic yelled, "Put me down!" "No way, Soniank!" said Shotwell, "You escaped from me once, but this time, we WILL be together!" Then, like in one giant leap, she jumped off, holding Sonic, kicking at her, trying to get away, but no success. "Amy!!" he cried as Shotwell took him away. Amy despritly ran after them, but they were gone in a flash. "SONIC!!!" she cried, "Noo!" She suddenly tripped over a rock. Instead of getting up, she stayed down, crying. "Noo..." she weeped, "Not Sonic...not my little blue hedgehog...*SNIFF*" Sonic couldn't be gone now, could he? No way! She then remembered what happened when Mecha Sonic kidnapped her. Sonic wasted no time to get her back. So why should she sit there and let him be captured? She then snapped up, looking angry, tears streaming down her cheek. "I'm not going to lose him that easily," she spoke as she slowly got back up. "He rescued me once...now it's my chance to return the favor." ~(CHAPTER 3)~ Following the direction she saw Shotwell go, Amy found herself entering a zone. She looked around. "The Sun Blast Zone!" she cried, "How dare Shotwell take Sonic here to fry!" She continued on in the zone. Not really paying attention to what she was doing, she was whacked on the head with a pole. It made her fall, but she kept consciousness. She looked up, and there was a robotic monkey, not Coconuts, but black with yellow stripes, holding poles. "Hello, young hedgie!!" it chirped, "Dr. Shotwell told me you'd be coming around here, and spread the word to all the other robots on South Island! We'll all be here to prevent you from coming after her, in the name of... Bananas!" It threw more poles at Amy, and she jumped over them all. "Hey!" Amy shouted at Bananas, "Why don't you pick on somebody your own size!" Bananas jumped out of the tree and stood up straight. It was the same height as she was. "Oh... nevermind!" Bananas held up another pole and swung it at her, but she ducked, and grabbed it. "You need to be taught some manners!" she said, smacking Bananas with it. He blew up, and turned into a flower. Just then, out of nowhere, Amy tripped. But something knocked her over. She looked up, and saw a robotic road-runner. "Hello, young Amy Rose," it chirped, "Say hello to...Dash!" He ran off, but charged back, knocking Amy over again. "Knock that off!" Amy yelled. "Why should I?" Dash responded, picking her up by the back collar of her shirt, and throwing her into the air. As she fell back down, she saw Dash with its beak raised in the air. She had to do something rather than fall, so as best as she could, she rolled into a ball, and spun into it. It turned into a flower. She picked it. "It may be a baddie," she said, "But it's awfully pretty! Maybe I can give this to Sonic...that is, if I rescue him in time..." She continued down the zone, coming in with more contacts with Bananas and Dashes. Just when it looked that she reached the end of Act 1, she was stung in the bottom, by something. She jumped in the air in pain. "YEEOWCH!!!" she cried. "Oo..." She rubbed herself, then turned around angrily. "WHO DID THAT?!?!?" she screamed. Just then, a robotic hornet flew in front of her and stopped. "Why, it was me: Hornell!" "Hornell, huh?" said Amy, still rubbing her bottom. "Well I'll show you not to touch a girl's personal space again!" She jumped into the air, doing another spin, and zoomed to Hornell, but it flew away in time. She landed and looked up. "You're not getting away THAT easily!" She did another spin, and zoomed to Hornell, but it evaded her. Amy didn't give up though, and kept spinning to a tree, bounced off a branch, and straight into Hornell, turning it into a flower. She stopped her spin, and stood back up. "I got you..." she murmured pleasantly. Amy went on, until she reached nothing but a pile of trees. She looked around. "Sonic?" she called. Only a low echo responded. "Dang..." she mumbled. "Think I went the wrong..." Just then, a fwoosh sped above her head, nearly setting her quills on fire "...way?" She looked up to see a yellow robot, five times the size of herself. Its large metallic arms seemed to be made for blasters, and feet were rocket boosters. On the top of its head was something of a missle launcher. "Shotwell must have made this!" Amy cried. "Looks like I'm with a rocket scientist here!" The machine held its arms up at her, and kept blasting as it kept walking towards her. All Amy could do was avoid every blast by jumping over them. Finally, it put its arms down. This was her only chance to hit it, and so she ran, spun, and whacked it in the chest. It grew weak, but it seemed to continue on getting her. It jumped into the air and hovered right above her head. She tried to move out of the way, but it stayed right over her. Finally, the rocket boosters on its feet turned off, and Amy just made it out of the way before the machine could land on her. It did the same blaster gun thing again, and Amy knew just when to hit it, and did so. After another attempt on squishing her, it bent down, and pointed its head straight at Amy. Suddenly, a missle popped out, and Amy barely missed it. The machine setted up for another missle, but Amy whacked its head, making it weaker. But it shot another missle. Amy wasn't able to make it away, and the force blew her straight into a tree. The machine looked up at Amy, thinking that she was unconscious. But its orders from Shotwell was to have her destroyed. It flew up to the tree, and looked down at the out-cold Amy, raised its arm, and... "Just kidding!" Amy cried as she jumped up, and spun into its chest, making it blow up. Several seeds landed, and flowers grew. "Haha!" Amy laughed in success. "This little pink hedgehog has defeated the Sun Blast Zone!" She then cut her victory pose, and continued on. "Now where do I go?" she wondered as she walked by a river bank. As if her question was answered, a splash of the current knocked her into the river, and swept her towards Emerald River Zone. ~(CHAPTER 4)~ As she was underwater, she couldn't say anything. All she could do was think. <(So this is Emerald River Zone,)> she thought, <(I have to watch myself. I could easily drown!)> As soon as she entered the zone, the current let up, and she was just underwater. She noticed an air bubble bank, swam to it, and caught a few breaths. She then went on swimming. She swam around under the river, looking around, and catching magic rings. She suddenly needed some air. Luckily there was an air bubble bank in front of her, and as she swam to get a bubble, she was bit by something, which cost all her magic rings. Suddenly, right in front of her, was a robotic piranta. "Bubbleeblhaa!" cried Amy, although her voice was muffled by the water. The robo-piranta could talk easier. "Yes," it said, "Right the first time! I am Piriata!" He bit her in the leg, and caused her to sink down, but she grabbed a magic ring, and was able to swim back to Piriata. She tried to spin, but underwater, it was difficult. But she had an idea. She swam towards the bottom bank of the river, Piriata following her. As soon as they got on the underwater surface, she did a Triple S Spin, and headed straight for the robo-fish. Piriata couldn't make it out in time, was sawed by Amy, and turned into a flower. Amy then realized that she desperately needed air and was running out of time. She swam back to the air bubble bank, and took in some oxygen just in time. <(Now what?)> she wondered. As she swam back to where she had defeated Piriata, something else bit her, and made her lose her rings again. But it felt more like a pinch than a bite. There was a weak little robo-lobster at her feet. <(Pinchers, get lost,)> Amy thought as she did a spin into it, turning it into a small flower. <(I know quite alot about this stage!)> Amy thought as she continued on. But there were more than weak Pinchers here. Amy had gotten into an encounter with a robo-goldfish, known as Goldy. It would spit H20 fire at Amy, which she hardly got away from. She lost her rings a few times, and had gone on empty when she finally spun into it and turned it into a flower. Wasn't over yet. She had gotten halfway through the zone, when she came upon a robo-shark. "Allow me to introduce myself, my dear," it said. "I am Jaws! Not the one in the movie, though..." It rammed Amy through the water. Amy could do nothing more but try to avoid it and the deadly rams. She had an idea rather than just trying to avoid it or kill it. As it nearly side-swiped her, she grabbed onto the robotic back fin. Success! Jaws was leading Amy towards the main boss! As soon as Jaws came just about close, it made a wild turn, which made Amy let go, and into an air bubble tank. After breathing a few times, she held her breath and swam for the main boss' place, which was into a tube. She was just about to enter it, when she was knoccked away from something. She looked up, and there was another Goldy. <(Not another one..)> Amy whined in her mind. "You'll have to get through ME before seeing the big cheese itself!" it said and shot icefire at Amy. She swam away from it, and then started doing a tornado spin underwater, creating a whirlpool around Goldy, sending it right above the surface, long gone history. Amy finally entered the tube. It took her through a crazy ride, like on a roller coaster, and spat her out in a small room. This time, the water was up to her waist, and so she could breathe. She looked up at another piece of machinery, again five times as big, but it looked like a ball with spider legs, and a tube extended from the face. The machine put its tube in the water, making a giant whirlpool. Amy was thrown in circles all over the water, coming closer to the Whirl-Bot. She didn't get enough time to escape, and was hit by it. She lost all her rings, and laid in the water for awhile. But a big splash made her jump back up. The Whirl-Bot was about to suck her to it again, and Amy knew that she had to attack it somehow. A lightbulb seemed to appear above her head, as she was pulled to the bot. While being pulled, she did a spin, and as she got right up to it, she spun into it, making it blow up, and once again, freeing a bunch of flowers. Amy did her victory pose, closing one eye and sticking up two fingers, then continued on. "That's it for Emerald River Zone," she said to herself. "Now my next stop is....YAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!" She screamed as she fell through a hole, and as she fell, she got colder. <(I'm starting to freeze!)> she thought, <(It looks like I'm entering the Polar Cap Zone)> ~(CHAPTER 5)~ She fell, until she landed into freezing cold water. She quickly swam right back up to surface, and crawled onto a sheet of ice. She covered her arms and shivered as she looked around. It looked to be an underground cave with snow and a lot of icicles. Her muscles ached from the fall, and felt like just sitting there and freezing. She wanted to give up, but the thought of Sonic kept her going. She was just about to stand up, when something pushed her to other other side of the sheet. She looked over her shoulder. "A seal!" she cried. "Not just any seal," the robo-seal responded, "you can call me... Ceal!" It ran, then skidded on the ice on its belly towards Amy. She jumped away, and landed on it, turning it into a flower. "Please to meet your aquanauts!" she retorted at the flower. She raced off, jumping onto other sheets of ice, and climbing over snow hills. She had slid down one all the way to the bottom, when she came face-to-face with a robotic-walrus. "What the--" "Now, little Amy Rose," it said. "I thought you knew everything about these stages that Dr. Shotwell created! I don't see how you wouldn't know... Bubbles!" "Wouldn't forget you!" Amy replied, preparing a spin right into it. But Bubbles just whapped her with its tail, sending her into the wall. She was okay, and kept her rings. Bubbles sent ice bubbles at Amy, and she dodged just in time. While dodging, she went into a spin, and headed towards Bubbles. It was still shooting ice bubbles at her, and as she blew it up and transformed it into a flower, she also lost her magic rings. "Dangit!" she cried standing herself up, "I got to be more careful!" Amy went on, until she reached a spot where there were no more ice sheets left to jump on. "Looks like it's another 'Undersea World of Amy Rose' for me," she said as she prepared for a dive. Holding her breath, she leaped in. Now she knew how the people on the Titanic felt. The water was FREEZING, mostly because it's in the Polar Cap Zone. Amy noticed an air bubble tank, and swam over to take a breath. hat's she was bodyslamed by a robotic polar bear. It was all white, and you could tell its name was Whitey. Whitey succeeded in slamming Amy Rose 50 feet under the water. The pressure was making her weak, but she had to continue on. She swam upwards, when Whitey slammed into her again, but slammed her the way she was going...up! Whitey kept slamming her, forcing her to keep going. No time to stop for the air bubble. She kept swimming up, with the help of Whitey. Finally, she reached surface of another ice sheet, but was then bumped right onto it from the robo-bear. It jumped onto the ice sheet with Amy, and prepared a bodyslam. "Sorry, Whitey," said Amy. "But no more!" She did a spin into it, causing an explosion, and turning it into a flower. Then, she noticed something ahead of her. Taking a few steps forward, she saw clearly another machine, which looked like a giant snowman, but no Frosty the Snowman! It had an evil growl on its metallic snowballed head, and a frown on its coal eyes. Suddenly, its mouth opened, and snowballs tumbled out. Amy was luckily able to jump over them all. But then the Snowbot opened its mouth and exhaled a frosty breath onto her, turning her into ice. The ice finally broke, but Amy lost her rings. She quickly grabbed a few, then raced at the Snowbot. It sent out a few more snowballs, but Amy jumped on top of each, until she got to the Snowbot, did a spin, and smacked its head. It was weakening, but drew out breath again. Amy ducked this time, and as the snowballs came out, she took advantage of them, then spun at its head again. The Snowbot fell down in defeat, exploded, and sent out seeds, planting flowers. Amy once again did her victory pose, but then stopped when a figure stood in front of her. She gazed up at it. It was a person-like creature, with webby-brown hair, green skin, and wearing a scientist uniform. "Dr. Shotwell!" Amy cried. "I underestimated you, Amy," said Shotwell. "You got through my three zones quite well. Better than I even expected." "Got that right, lady!" yelled Amy, "Now let Sonic go!" She prepared for another spin, but stopped short when Shotwell held something in front of her. There was, of course, everyone's favorite blue hedgehog, being held in the grasp of Dr. Shotwell trying to squirm away. Amy gasped. "Sonic!" she cried. Sonic stopped squirming and looked down. "Amy!" he cried, "GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!" "You heard him!" Amy shouted to Shotwell, "Let him go!" "Never!!" Shotwell yelled, pulling Sonic away, "I won't let YOUR dirty paws on my guy again!" She leaped out the ceiling. Amy, bouncing on the fowers, followed suit. They were all outside now in the cold snowy weather. Shotwell saw that Amy was behind her, and so she ran off, at amazing speed. "Still can't catch up to me," said Sonic. Amy desperately followed, but as Shotwell leaped off, there was a huge rumble. The zone was collapsing! She tried get get off, but it was too late. The ground underneath her gave out and she fell. There was nothing there for a while, until a red bi-plane came into the scene, Amy on top. "Nice catch, Soanic!" Amy exclaimed as Soanic, Sonic's ex-evil twin brother, flew the bi-plane after Shotwell. "How'd ya know I was here?" "I was taking this baby for a test drive, when I saw you enter a zone, and saying something about Sonic, so I followed you!" He winked. "He saved me once too*. It'd be nice ot pay him back by helping you!" Amy smiled. "Thanks, Soanic!" He flew the plane on the trail Shotwell went. ~(CHAPTER 6)~ Shotwell just kinda flew away, as Soanic and Amy flew in the bi-plane after her. "Follow her as best as you can, Soanic," Amy commanded. "Then let me off, and I'll try to get Sonic!" Soanic noticed something in the distance. "Look out, Amez," he said. "Eagleye at 12 'o clock!" Indeed, two robo-eagles flew towards the bi-plane. "I'll handle 'em!" Amy announced, going into a spin, and knocking into one. The other rubbed against the plane, but Soanic side-swiped it. "You okay, Amy?" he called up. Amy was back on the top. "Yeah," she responded. Then, a herd of robotic bumblebees starting flying next to the plane. "Buzzers!" Amy cried. "Just hang on," said Soanic, "I'll take care of them!" He waved the plane back and forth, knocking into them. Some still made it though, and started stinging at the motor. It caused a few technical shortages. "Hey knock that off!" Soanic yelled to the bees. "I'll handle it, Soanic!" Amy shouted, jumping off the top, and landing on top of the bees, forcing them into the propeller and Amy jumping on the hood just in time. "Geez, Amy," said Soanic, "You're not the usual Amy Rose I know!" Amy stood back on the top. "I'd do anything for Sonic," she said. "Even if it means mimicking his moves!" "Got that right," Soanic whistled. "Never knew you could do a Sonic Spin!" Just then, something pecked at Amy's head. She turned around to see a Jay, a robotic bluejay of course. She whapped it away, but it came back strong, and knocked her off the plane. "Amy!!!" Soanic cried, looking over the edge. There was Amy Rose, holding on to the wheels for dear life. "I'll be okay, Soanic," she called. Jay started pecking the back of her head. "Ouch!" she cried, then turned to it angrily. ""I just had about enough of you!" She let go, curled into spin, and knocked into Jay, turning it into a seed as it fell to the ground hundreds of feet below. So did Amy. Soanic acted fast, pulled the controls down, and caught Amy on the top. "You're 'da man, Soanie!!" she exclaimed. "Ya got that right, Amez," the black hedgehog replied. "And it's SOANIC to you!" Amy lifted her nose in the air. "Soanic, go right!" she said, "Dr. Shotwell was here! I can tell!" Soanic put his fingers on his forehead in a salute-look. "You're the boss," he responded, as he made a right turn. ~(CHAPTER 7)~ Soanic flew the bi-plane into a city. "You sure she was here, Amez?" Soanic asked, cautious in leading the plane around skyscrapers. "Yep," Amy Rose replied. "Go near that building roof!" Soanic did so, and Amy hopped off. "Thanks, Soanic," she said. "I owe ya!" Soanic nodded and smiled. "Just make sure my brother's okay," he said, and flew off. Amy ran on top of the buildings, jumping over each. There was one jump she almost didn't make, but she climbed up. This zone was quite different from the others. There were plenty of magic rings floating around, but there were no badniks. She kept running until there were no more buildings left to jump on. She stood at the edge of the roof, nothing left but a skyscraper. That's also when she saw a glimpse of scaley green skin. There she was, Dr. Shotwell, that demon. "Just who do you think you are?" Sonic asked, being held in her grasp, "King Kong?" "I'm just finding that best spot to hide from Amy," Shotwell responded, pressing her back on the wall to keep from falling. Sonic then noticed something and grinned. "Well you're not doing a good job at it!" He pointed at a nearby building roof, and there was Amy Rose. "Grr...Damn you!" Shotwell cried, doing a super leap, and landed on top of the building Amy was standing on. She let Sonic go, and pushed him to an clear area. "Hey, Amy, I'm free!" Sonic cried. "Let's pop this jointstand!" Amy only shook her head. "No, Sonic," she respponded. "I'm staying a while. I'm going to teach this hellcat not to mess with MY man... err um, hedgehog!" Shotwell grinned. "Fine by me," she said. "I'll fight to get my guy back." "As will I," Amy replied. Suddenly, Shotwell jumped into the air, and landed straight on Amy's head. She fell down, but as Shotwell did another jump, she rolled away in time. She stood back up. "Hey, Sonic!" she called. "Look what I learned from you!" She did a spin, straight to Shotwell. She held up her arm, and ricocheted Amy into a watertower stand, but she came straight back, and whacked Shotwell in the head. She fell, but soon came straight back up. Sonic kept out of it. He knew this was Amy's fight. Instead, he cheered her in the backround. "Go get 'er, Amez! Give her a nice left hook!" Amy did so, but Shotwell caught it, and threw her to the ground. She then pounded her on her stomach with her foot a few times. Amy felt like throwing up, but suddenly, had to strength to grab her foot, and pull her to the ground. Shotwell jumped back up, but Amy pushed her back down, then jumped into the air, and landed straight on her face. She could hear a crunch from under her foot. She stepped off, and only a lifeless Shotwell laid on the ground. She ran to Sonic and into his arms, hugging him. "I did it, Sonic!" she cried, "I fought a baddie and found you!" Sonic rubbed her hair. "You sure did," he replied. "Good job!" "Yeah good job...of losing!" said a voice mysteriously behind Sonic. Suddenly, Amy found herself being pushed off violently by a creature. Sonic turned and gasped, and was suddenly grabbed onto again. "Oh no, not this again!" he groaned. Amy sat up, and there was Shotwell, holding Sonic in her grasp once again. "I thought I made it clear to you that you lost!" she yelled, pointing at her. "Does it look like I'm losing?" Shotwell responded, with a sudden dash at Amy, tackling into her, and making her fall off the roof building. Shotwell looked over, and Amy was still holding onto the ledge for dear life. "Well, we all know what's coming up next," she chuckled, raising her foot. Sonic gasped. "Don't you DARE!" he cried. "This is for your own good, Soniank," Shotwell mumbled, stamping her foot on Amy's hand. She cried out in pain and quickly pulled it out, but it only made her lose her balance with the other hand, and she fell down. "AMY!!!!!" Sonic cried as Amy seemed to plummet towards death. ~(CHAPTER 8)~ Amy opened her eyes. She was alive! She looked around. She looked to be in a place of garbage. <(Garbage?! Yeuck!)> She shot straight up. She had landed in a garbage disposal. Disgusting, but thankful. She got back out, and looked up. It seemed to be a long fall, which had caused her to be blacked out for a long time. Now she had no idea where either Sonic or Shotwell were. Shotwell had dug a tunnel underground, which led to a large open area. Sonic sat on the floor on the other side, and frowned at Shotwell. "It'll be okay, Soniank," she assured him. "Amy won't find us here. You and I will be together, as it was meant to be." The hedgehog stood up. "It's SONIC, not SONIANK," he said. "And what makes you think that forcing someone to like you is the way to lead a good love life?" Shotwell quickly ran up and covered his mouth. "Hush," she said, "I can't believe you don't remember. You and I use to be an item, until Amy came along and stole you! You fell in love with her, and forgot all about me. But I'll make sure it won't happen again." "Lady," said Sonic, "You got yourself one mental case!" "How can you say that?" cried Shotwell. "Wait...it's that 'thing'! First she steals my guy, then she even takes my idea of the Chaos Emerald System." "What are you talking about?" Sonic asked, a bit exasperated because he was stuck in a place with what seemed to be a whacko woman. Shotwell sighed as she went over to the corner. "Something has gotten over you, Soniank," she said. "I can't believe you forgot about..." She pulled out the Chaos Emerald project. "This!" Sonic only gazed down at it. "Chaos Emeralds!" he exclaimed. "Yes," Shotwell nodded. "This was my idea, and Amy took it away for the Marriage Couple Contest and took the credit. She even involved you, Soniank!" "Soniank..." Sonic mumbled. He looked into her eyes, and saw something. Suddenly, he just got it! "The Chaos Emeralds must have done something to your body!" he explained. "You're not used to them, and it just gave you this weird affect! It must have angered you about this Amy person, and her husband, plus your old boyfriend, Soniank! You got me and Amy Rose mixed up!" Shotwell grabbed his shoulders, making the project fall. "Don't say that," she growled. "Although I cannot blame you, Amy has had a strong force against you, you'd do anything to stay wth her instead of me!" "Look, Lady," said Sonic putting her arms back down, "You got the wrong Amy! Amy Rose is really a sweet, little hedgehog, who wouldn't harm a flea!" "Amy Roflazion is no Sweet Tart!" Shotwell screamed, "After I make you realize that, I will make her pay!" "Wrong!" cried a voice, "I'm going to make YOU pay...one captured blue hedgehog!" Shotwell and Sonic turned. There was Amy, standing on the other side, hands on hips, growling from one end to the other. "Amy!" Sonic cried in delight, "How'd you find us?" "I followed you both in those zones. Not only that, I used that scent thingy you taught me! Sniffing! And I happened to smell Moonlight Delight purfume from you know who!" She glared at Shotwell. "Remind me to thank Antoine for wearing that stuff!" Shotwell stared angrily at Amy. "No...NOT THIS TIME!!!" She picked up the Chaos Emerald Project, and rose it over her head, preparing to throw it at Amy, but the surge suddenly went through her body again. Amy was making her so steamed, the powers were making her stronger. Her green skin turning scaley, big, and brown. Her hair fell out, and her face morphed into a dragon's face. "NO!!!" she screamed, "YOU'RE NOT TAKING AWAY MY SONIANK!!!!!!!" She could hold Sonic right in her palm, which she did, and jumped out of the whole underground, leaving Amy behind, getting buried by the dirt, knocking her out. The last thing she could remember was Sonic crying out for help. Amy slowly woke up, and coughed out the dust and dirt that she inhaled while the Underground collasped above her. She got out from under the dust pile, and wiped the dust from her skirt. She looked up: The ceiling was sealed. She could run out of oxygen. "Gotta find a way to get outta here!" she cried. "Otherwise, I might run out of air, and Sonic will be gone forever with that...witch!" She looked around, then noticed something buried. She went over, bent down, and started digging. Soon, she pulled out the Chaos Emerald project. She looked up, then back down at the emeralds, a bit worried. "My body isn't use to it," she said to herself. "I may end up like Shotwell..." But then a look of bravery came upon her face, as she stood up. "No one takes away MY Sonic! And I mean NO ONE!" She held it above her head, as the Chaos Emerald's powers combined, covered Amy's body whole, and she started to glow gold. Soon, she looked at herself. She glowed a faint pink, plus bright gold. With the powers of seven Chaos Emeralds, she had turned herself into Super Amy Rose. "Hang on, Sonic! I'm coming!" she yelled, as she flew straight into the ceiling, out of the collapsed underground, and back into the world. She flew straight for the city nearby. ~(CHAPTER 9)~ Amy was flying in the air, looking down on the ground, for any traces of Shotwell's tracks. Amy thought about Dr. Shotwell, and how she herself didn't become so crazed over something like that. They were practically the same reasons: Dr. Shotwell went that way because the anger of her ex-friend Amy Roflazion made her crazy to get Soniank back, and demand revenge on Amy. But she thought Amy was Amy Roflazion and Sonic was Soniank. The Chaos Emeralds turned Amy into a super form for her love of Sonic, and how she would have to fight to rescue him. That's all she could think of. There was something ahead of her. Looking closely, Amy saw that it was Dr. Shotwell, in her hyper form. The Chaos Emeralds could make her fly, as with Amy. But poor Sonic was just stuck in a hand, not flying at all. Super Amy flew up to Hyper Shotwell, seeing that she was now as big as a mountain. "I'll NEVER let you get away!!" she screamed. "I'll follow you, no matter what I go through to get my hedgehog back!" "You'll NEVER get my guy again!" Shotwell screamed, squeezing Sonic in her grip, making him lose his breath. She flew off faster. "No you don't..." Amy mumbled, flying on her trails. She quickly flew right under her and then straight up her front body, did a quick wave at Sonic, then uppercutted Shotwell as hard as her superbody could. Wasn't much, though. Shotwell only rubbed her chin, then flicked Amy. In her super form, Amy wasn't hurt, and immediately came right back and grabbed her tail, as if she was slowing her down. "Let him go!!" she screamed, tugging. Shotwell looked down at her, pathetically pulling at her tail. She whapped it in air, the force knocking Amy away. "Can't you see that I won't let you take him back?!" Shotwell yelled, as she flew away. "No matter what you're doing, I'll always keep him! You won't take him away EVER again!!" Amy was getting steamed. She had fought all those bots in the zones, nearly got beaten up by the sub-bosses, almost got killed falling down the building, nearly got buried alive at the underground, and turned herself into Super Amy Rose, all for Sonic! Was she going to give up now because of a stubborn bitch? "NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Amy screamed, flying full blast. She flew past Hyper Shotwell, and then stopped, turned around, armed her fist, and flew full blast at her. Shotwell could see her coming, of course, and tried to duck, but there wasn't enough time, and Amy slugged her right in her eye. It was painful, she screamed out loud, and dropped Sonic, covering her eye with both hands. Amy immediately saw it, and flew down straight for him. Sonic, meanwhile, cried out and then closed his eyes as the ground came closer, faster. <(Who would've thought this hedgehog's end would come to this?)> he thought, when suddenly, he stopped falling. He opened his eyes, and there was Amy, holding him in her arms. He let out a sigh of relief. "Hey, nice look for you, Super Amez," he said. "Gold's quite your color!" Amy smirked. Shotwell then uncovered her eye. She saw Super Amy Rose fly Sonic down to the ground. "The story will not repeat itself," she said as she started heading towards the two. Back on the ground, Sonic noticed her. "Psycho woman at twelve O' clock, Amy," he pointed out. She looked up at the sky, watching Hyper Shotwell came closer. "I'll take care of her," he said, beginning to accelrate, but Super Amy only held an arm at his chest. "Stay here," she commanded. "You always had your fun, but this time, it's my turn!" She flew back up into the sky, only leaving Sonic to watch helplessly. <(Be careful, Amy,)> he thought. The two figures in the sky sped towards each other, until there was a big clash. Then, there they were, sharing fists and kicks, right over the bay of the city. "You've taken him away from me once, Amy," Shotwell shouted, "but I WILL take him back!! And you won't steal him away from me again!!" "Listen!!" Amy shouted back, "You got us mixed up! I'm not the same Amy that stole your boyfriend! Sonic isn't your lost love! The Chaos Emeralds' powers possesd your body into jealousy, giving you the wrong idea of us!" "LIAR!!!" Shotwell screamed, sending a bolt of energy from her hand, and into Super Amy. It knocked her down into the city streets, cracking them. Cars immediately stopped for her. Everyone could hear a chuckle coming from Shotwell from above. Amy too heard heard it. She slowly stood right back up. "You're not taking him... away..." she said. She flew back in the sky, but her impact on the ground kept her weak. She saw Hyper Shotwell preparing for another blast, when she leaned over a little. Amy's eyes widened. From all the powers of the Chaos Emerald in her body, it was starting to run out. All she had to do was wait! However, it was bad judgement. She may have been getting weak, but she still had enough power left, which let her create a massive energy ball, and hurtled it into Super Amy. It knocked her into a skyscraper. She floated in the air softly. With more hits like that, the super form would wear off her. Now all she had to do was drain the effect off Shotwell first. She rose up on the skyscraper, to the lightning rod, and tore it off. She looked over at Hyper Shotwell. "You ready for more?" she asked, preparing another energy blast. Amy frowned. "No way!" she screamed. With the energy left inside of her, she flew full speed ahead at Shotwell, the lightning rod straight in front of her. Before she could send the blast, Amy pierced it right in her heart. She screamed in pain, ringing everything in town. The powers were quickly draining off, and she turned from a brown monster, to scaley grenn, and back into a person. The rod came right out of her chest, and she plummeted to the water, full splash and all. Amy did it. She rescued Sonic, and defeated Dr. Shotwell. But now she was getting weak from her high speed. The powers were draining from her too. The rod was getting heavier. As soon as she dropped it, she turned back into her regular form, and fell from the sky. Sonic, watching everything that happened, saw this, and ran straight for her on the deck. Before she could strike the ground with deadly impact, he caught her right in his arms. She immediately woke up, a bit tired. "You alright, Amy?" he asked, setting her down. "Shotwell..." she mumbled, then looked around. "Where is she?" "Last I saw," Sonic responded, "She went straight into the water!" He pointed at the bay. Amy saw a floating body, and ran straight off the deck, into the water, and swam after her. When she got there, she turned Shotwell to float on her back. She was still alive. She glanced over at Amy. "Amy....Rose...." she mumbled, "I'm so sorry..." Amy took her in one arm, and used the other to paddle back to the dock, where she was met by Sonic. "Here," she said, lifting Lidia up, "Take her." Sonic grabbed her under her arms and dragged her back up, as Amy climbed up the other side. At that time, of all the commotion of Super Amy and Hyper Shotwell, an ambulance was waiting just by the dock. Paramedics raced in with a wheelbed, took Shotwelk on it, into the ambulance, and drove off. Sonic and Amy stood there watching it leave, until it was out of sight. "You think she'll be okay?" Amy asked. Sonic nodded. "I hope so." He looked at the ground. "I also hope she'll get that Soniank guy back." He looked up at Amy. "Even if she was evil at that moment and tried to kidnap me, she's still an innocent person, who accidentally let power get to her." Amy nodded, and for a long moment, she and Sonic stared into each other's eyes. Then she spoke up. "Hey, Sonic?" "Yeah? "Would you EVER want to date a woman like Dr. Shotwell?" "PFT!! The day when I stop eating chili dogs!" Amy nodded, turned her head, and smiled secretly. <(There's STILL a chance!)> The End *In one of my untold stories, "The Spanish Fighters".
