AMY and SONIC

Chapter 5

Sonic did not say a word during the flight to Westside Island. To 
Tails, the silence was deafening. Before, in times such as this when a 
showdown with Robotnik was imminent, Sonic would be cracking jokes and 
making smartass remarks and just generally acting cocky. This time he 
was completely silent and focused and driven. It frightened Tails.

Sonic had a million thoughts bombarding his brain. He had honestly 
never taken Robotnik all that seriously before. Sonic was young and 
cocky and thought that he-and his friends-were invincible. Now Amy was 
dead because of Robotnik. Sonic had never been so torn before. Part of 
him wanted to rip Robotnik apart; eliminate him before another 
innocent person falls victim to that madman. Yet even now, Sonic could 
not forget his friend, Ovi Kintobor; and he still hoped that the man 
he had once known was still somewhere deep down in there. Sonic did 
not know how he would react once he saw Robotnik.

“We’re about to land, Sonic!”

Sonic was jolted out of his thoughts. “Hmm? Oh. Okay, Tails!”

Tails found a good spot in a clearing and brought the Tornado down. It 
didn’t take long for Sonic and Tails to find a pathway through the 
woods.

“Let’s follow this, Sonic.” said Tails. “It looks like it leads to 
where I spotted those Badniks.”

“Alright! Let’s go for it!”

They followed the pathway for some time. Sonic never spoke a word. He 
was just focused on finding Robotnik.

Suddenly, Sonic spotted something flying overhead.

“Tails! Duck!”

Sonic and Tails dove for cover in the woods as a Buzzbomber passed by.

“Whew!” said Tails. “We must be getting close!”

Sonic didn’t make any sound. He just kept down the path in the 
direction the Buzzbomber was heading; moving like a Hedgehog possessed.



That same afternoon, Amy and Sayil were getting ready for the big 
party that evening. Sayil was letting Amy wear one of her dresses 
(since Amy’s had been all but ruined when she had fell).

“Let’s see how you look Amy!” Sayil called.

When Amy stepped into the room with her new dress and tribal jewelry, 
she was a vision! A visitor might have thought that she was the queen 
of the tribe.

“Wow! You look great!” said Sayil. “There’s going to be lots of boys at
the party. You’d better watch out when they see you!”

“Oh, go on!” Amy said as she blushed a little.

“Hello?” Copan said as he opened the door to the hut a little. “Is 
everyone decent?”

When Copan saw Amy and how beautiful she looked, all he could do was 
just stand there!

“Yo, Copan!” Sayil said (she was already picking up some of Amy’s slang
from Station Square). “Hey! Are you in there!”

“Hmm? Oh!” Copan said. “I was just noticing Amy’s new dress.”

“Yeah, so I could see.” said Sayil.

“Uhhh, ladies?” said Copan. “I just wanted to bring you some flowers 
to wear with your outfits.”

“They’re lovely! Thank you Copan!” said Sayil as she took one of the 
flowers.

“That’s very nice of you. Thank you!” added Amy.

“I’m glad you like it, Amy.” Said Copan. “…and Sayil.” He added almost 
as an afterthought.

That did not go unnoticed by Sayil, but she tried to hide her jealous 
expression.

“Son?” Chief Kukulcan walked in. “Ah, there you are. Son, I need your 
help in planning the new canal before you get ready for the party 
tonight.”

“Of course, Father. Right away.”

Kukulcan looked over his shoulder at Amy as they left. He still had not
warmed up to her even though the rest of the tribe had.

Amy noticed the chief’s look. “What is his problem with me?” Amy asked.

“I don’t know.” Said Sayil. “He’s just an old far—an old goat!”

Amy and Sayil laughed.

“But Copan sure has been paying you a lot of attention!” Sayil said.

“Yes, I notice it too.” Amy said. “I…uhhh… you don’t think it’s 
serious do you?”

“Well…. No, not yet.” Sayil said; though in reality, she wasn’t so 
sure.

“Oh, Sayil! I don’t want to come between you two!” said Amy.

“Don’t worry, Amy! You haven’t.” Sayil said. “But maybe I can fix you 
up with one the boys at the party tonight!”

Amy giggled. “Oh, Sayil!”

With that, the two friends left to prepare for that night’s 
festivities.



“Sonic! I think we hit the jackpot!”

Sonic eased his way forward to see what Tails was looking at. There at 
the opposite end of a large clearing was the Egg Carrier Mark III. 
There was a beehive of activity all around it. It appeared to be 
preparing for takeoff.

“Looks like Eggman’s closing up shop and preparing to move somewhere 
else!” said Tails.

Sonic said nothing. He instead noticed a stack of crates close by.

“One of those is our ticket on board!” he said. “Think you can arrange 
it, buddy?”

“Are you kidding?” answered Tails. “Nothing to it.”



Ivo Robotnik stepped out of the Egg Carrier III a few minutes later. 
By his side was his chief lieutenants, Metal Sonic and Gamma Mark II. 
They studied a map as the final preparations for takeoff were made.

“Westside Island is a good base.” Robotnik said. “But I must find 
another before that meddling Hedgehog arrives!” Then suddenly, an evil 
grin crept across his face. “At least one of his pesky friends won’t 
be troubling me any more!”

Metal Sonic felt a strange feeling when Robotnik said that. He was 
obviously talking about the recent death of Amy Rose. When Robotnik 
mentioned it, Metal Sonic felt an unusual feeling of sadness and even 
love. Sadness? Love? Why should he be feeling these things towards one 
of his master’s enemies? It must be a result of having that accursed 
Hedgehog’s feelings programmed into him.

Just then, Robotnik noticed a lone crate sitting at the edge of the 
clearing.

“Look at that! One of those idiotic Egg-Robos has just left one crate 
just sitting there! Metal, retrieve that!”

“What?!” said Metal. “Me pick up a crate like a common labor bot?!” 
Metal Sonic was very proud… for a robot. “Why don’t you have Gamma II 
do it?!”

“Because that is no job for the second-in-command!” Gamma Mark II 
replied in his usual robotic monotone.

“Yes, and why is he second-in-command instead of me?” said Metal 
Sonic.

Robotnik glared at Metal Sonic, letting him know who was boss. 
“Because unlike some of my robots, he has never failed me! Now go!”

Metal Sonic went to retrieve the crate. As he did, he thought to 
himself: “Watch your step, ‘Master’ Robotnik. You may not always be so 
high and mighty!”

Metal Sonic picked up the crate and unknowingly carried Sonic and 
Tails aboard the Egg Carrier Mark III.



The party in the Echidna village was a grand affair. A huge dinner, 
presents, laughing, singing, dancing. Amy could not remember when she 
had ever had such a good time. Then the tribe insisted that Amy say a 
few words.

“Speech! Speech!”

Amy reluctantly stood up. She didn’t feel like she should be the 
center of attention at Copan and Sayil’s party.

“I…. I’m very flattered. All I can say is…. I’m glad to have made such 
great new friends here!”

The Echidnas clapped and cheered. Suddenly Copan stood up.

“Amy? I know this is mine and Sayil’s birthday. But I made you a little
something.” He handed Amy a small box. “It’s one of our tribes handmade
music boxes.”

Amy opened the small wooden box and it played a short tune. “It’s 
lovely, Copan. You shouldn’t have!”

As Sayil looked on, she thought to herself: “Yes, you really shouldn’t 
have…”



“Sonic, we’re moving.” Tails said as he felt the Egg Carrier III take 
off.

Sonic didn’t say anything.

“What’s our next move now?” asked Tails. “Stay in this crate?”

“Well” said Sonic. “I’d like to go right up to the bridge and turn that
fatass son of a bitch inside out! But we’ll wait. Give him a little 
surprise when we get to wherever it is that we’re going!”

“Sonic?” asked Tails. “You wouldn’t really kill him would you? I mean, 
he was your friend once…”

Sonic thought long and hard. All he could reply with was a simple “I 
don’t know.”



“Amy?”

The party was long over, and Amy was quietly sitting at the main table 
with her new music box when Copan approached.

“Copan? You really didn’t have to give me this…”

“I guess I may have shocked the tribe at that…”

“Shocked the tribe? What do you mean?”

“I’m sorry. I thought you knew! In our tribe, the music box is a 
present often reserved for…. Uhhhmmm…. Boyfriend/girlfriend.”

Amy was stunned. “Copan? You can’t mean….”

“Amy? I’ve only known you for a week, but you are the most exciting 
girl I’ve ever met! You’re warm and friendly and lovely. I really like 
you…. No, I think I love you!”

“Copan, no! Don’t say that! What about Sayil?”

“I…. I just don’t know.” Copan said. “I really like her a lot. I had 
thought that I would spend my life with her. But since I met you, I 
don’t know what to think….”

“No! Copan, no! Sayil is my best friend and I’m not going to come 
between the two of you! No!”

“Is that it or is there another reason too?” Copan asked.

“I…I”

“You already have a boyfriend waiting for you back home, don’t you?”

Amy thought long and hard. She thought of Sonic and what a jerk he had 
always been to her. Always rude to her, never listening to her. What 
had she ever seen in him? The blue jerk was probably glad that she was 
gone! Finally Amy quietly said:

“No, Copan. I don’t have a boyfriend in Station Square. I’ve never had 
a boyfriend back there or anywhere else!”
