AMY and SONIC

Chapter 9

“That thing looks even bigger than I remember!” Amy said as she looked 
at the Egg Carrier III from the relative safety of the nearby jungle.

Sonic was watching the Badniks patrolling around the main deck. “Looks 
like Egg-butt’s already got the welcome mat out for us!” He said.

Tails grinned when he heard his friend making one of his usual remarks 
again. Sonic’s attitude had improved considerably since Amy was back.

“We’ll get massacred if we try to go in head on!” Sonic said. He 
looked over at Chief Kukulcan. “But there is a way, if we can get your 
help, Chief!”

“What is it that you’re proposing?” Chief Kukulcan asked.

“Well” said Sonic. “If you guys can make a lot of noise and distract 
the Badniks; a small group of us can get in there and deactivate the 
main weapons system!”

“Hmmm,” said the Chief. “Well, I have my doubts, but we’ll do it!”

“Good!” said Sonic “Me and Tails are going in!”

“And I’m going too!” said Amy as her hammer appeared in her hand.

“Amy…” Sonic stopped. He wasn’t sure if she would be safer here or 
with him. He knew it would be no use to tell her to stay, she would 
still go anyway! Sonic realized that even though Amy got into trouble 
all the time, she was still very brave and willing to do whatever she 
can to help out.

“All right.” Sonic said. “But stay close to me!”

Sayil spoke up “Amy? If you’re going, then Copan and I are going too!”

“I don’t know about that.” Sonic said. “Five might be too big a party…”

“I think they can take care of themselves.” Tails said. “And the more 
the merrier!” He said as he looked at the robots patrolling the deck 
of the Egg Carrier III. “Definitely the more the merrier!”

“Okay.” Said Sonic. “But we’ll have to pull this off quickly! Let’s 
go!”

As they prepared to leave, Copan took Sayil by the arm.

“Sayil?” He said. “I…I never got to thank you for saving me from that 
robot back there.”

“Ahh, it was nothing!” Sayil responded. “No way I’m gonna let my 
fiancé get roasted by one of those things!” She gave Copan a little 
kiss on the cheek.



“Damnit! What are they up to out there?” Robotnik fumed as he watched 
the view screens on the main bridge.

“Master Robotnik?” Gamma II said, “I’m picking up several of them in 
sector 4.”

“So they are massing to attack?” Robotnik said. “Dispatch a squad to 
take care of them!”

“It’s probably just a diversion!” Metal Sonic said.

“No! The fools are going to come right at us, Metal!” Robotnik said.

Metal Sonic thought “You are the fool! Sonic and Tails are probably 
already on board!”

Metal Sonic, being able to think just like Sonic, realized what their 
target would be; the main weapons system! Metal quietly slipped out of 
the room.

Gamma Mark II saw him leave. “I know where you’re going!” He thought. 
“We’ll just see who gets to the Hedgehog first!”



“I think we’re close!” Tails said

“Good!” said Sonic. “Everybody keep quiet!”

“So far so good!” added Amy.

“This place is incredible!” said Copan. “I hope I have time to examine 
it later!”

They had not had any trouble slipping aboard. Most of the Badniks were 
outside on the main deck or engaged in a wild goose chase with the 
Echidnas. Tails had studied the wreckage of the Egg Carrier I, and 
this ship appeared to be laid out much the same. He was in the lead.

“Should be just ahead.” He said.

But then, Sonic heard a familiar mechanical sound around the next 
corner!

“Hold up! Ya hear that?” Sonic said. “Let me take a look!”

Sonic carefully peaked around the corner. Sure enough, not too far 
away was Zero Mark IV patrolling the hallway.

“Damn!” Sonic said. “We’ve got to get by him without alerting the 
whole ship!”

“Sonic?” Amy said. “Let me lure him off!”

“What?! No way!” Sonic said.

“C’mon!” Amy said. “I can lead him down that side passage there.” Amy 
gestured towards it.

“NO!” Sonic said. “I’m not gonna have you get hurt or….” Sonic 
stopped. He couldn’t finish the sentence.

Amy leaped past Sonic and around the corner.

“AMY! Don’t…. shit!!!” Sonic said.

Amy stepped into view of her old “friend.” She knew Zero hated her and 
would follow her off without thinking.

“Hey, bolt brain!” she shouted, “Are you looking for me?”

Zero IV launched one of his mechanical arms at Amy. She quickly dodged 
it.

Amy ran off down the side passage with Zero IV in hot pursuit.

“Not bad.” Sonic said. He turned to the Echidnas. “You two wait here 
for her to come back. The place we’re going is not too far ahead. You 
guys can catch up!”

“Sure thing, Sonic!” Sayil said.

“Dear God, just please let Amy come back!” Sonic whispered to himself.



Amy continued down the passage with Zero IV not too far behind. She 
soon found herself in a fairly large room with a generator nearby. 
When she saw the sign that read “WARNING! VERY HIGH VOLTAGE!” a 
Sonic-like grin crept across her face. Electricity was the only thing 
that could harm Zero. Amy could not have picked a better room to run 
into!

Zero IV rumbled into the room. He scanned for any sign of the girl 
Hedgehog. She would not get the better of him this time! Where was 
she?

Amy suddenly appeared seemingly out of nowhere with her hammer. She 
smashed Zero with it, sending him flying back against the generator! 
Zero IV sputtered and cracked as the electric shock overloaded his 
systems. Then with a tremendous blast, he blew apart into what must 
have been a thousand pieces!

“I hope this time you’re gone for good!” Amy said.

Amy raced back up the passage. But when she got back to the place 
where she had lured off Zero, everybody was gone!

“Where are they?” Amy said. “They must have gone on ahead! I just 
hope I can find them!” Amy ran up the hallway.



Sonic also seemed to sense that Copan and Sayil were missing. “This is 
just frickin’ wonderful!” He snapped. “We’ve lost Amy! Now we’ve lost 
the Echidnas! Everybody is just scattered to Hell!”

“But the good news is: we’re here!” Tails said as he pointed into the 
large room they had just entered. “It shouldn’t take me long to 
hotwire this thing!”

“I wouldn’t do that!” a voice said.

Sonic and Tails spun around to see that Gamma Mark II had his laser 
blaster leveled at them!

“Nice try, Hedgehog!” Gamma said. “Now should I take you to Master 
Robotnik dead or alive? Either way, I can’t wait to see Metal when he 
realizes that I caught you! Me! The one thing Metal could not do: 
eliminate Sonic the Hedgehog!”

But suddenly, Gamma II blew apart! He had been hit by a laser blast 
from behind! Sonic and Tails looked in amazement to see that the blast 
had been fired by Metal Sonic, who now stood over the twisted remains 
of Gamma Mark II!

“My! My!” Metal said. “It looks like Gamma had a rather unfortunate 
accident, doesn’t it?”

“What the…?” Sonic said. “Now I’ve seen everything! Metal helping 
US?!”

“Don’t flatter yourself, Hedgehog!” Metal said. “What was between 
Gamma and myself was personal! It had nothing to do with you!”

“So this mean you’re ready to go a few rounds with me, then?” Sonic 
said. He struck a pose like his favorite pro wrestler. 
“Just bring it!”

“As amusing as your pathetic attempt to defeat me would be…” Metal 
said, “No, I have no intention of stopping you from deactivating the 
weapons systems!”

“Say what?” Sonic was bewildered. “What’s up with you?”

“Well, if you must know.” Metal said, “I’m leaving ‘Master’ Robotnik 
and setting out on my own! He has become a fool! I am clearly more fit 
to rule this planet than he!”

“My! My! Is that any way to show gratitude to your creator?” a voice 
said.

Everyone spun around to see Dr. Robotnik standing on a walkway above.

“I suppose I should deal with you now, Metal. But I have other fish to 
fry at the moment!” Robotnik said.

“Yeah! Yeah! Come and get it Eggman!” Sonic said as he prepared to 
attack.

“I wouldn’t make any sudden moves if I were you, Hedgehog!” Robotnik 
said. “It seems that some of my Egg-Robos came across some friends of 
yours!” He stepped to the side to show that he had Copan and Sayil 
captive! They each had their hands tied behind their backs!

“Shit!” Sonic said quietly.

Robotnik pulled a laser pistol. He pointed it at Sayil. “Now, Sonic; 
you’re going to do exactly as I say…”

“Amy told us about you!” Copan said angrily. “But she never mentioned 
that you were a coward!”

“What?! Amy?!” Robotnik said. “Amy is dead!”

Suddenly, Robotnik saw a flash out of the corner of his eye. He felt 
something strike his arm, causing him to drop the laser pistol. He was 
shocked to see who had struck him with their hammer!

“No! It’s not possible! I saw you fall!”

Amy glared at Robotnik; her hammer at the ready. “Just like you to 
hide behind a hostage! Take it from somebody who knows!”

By this time, Sonic had raced up to the walkway and stood beside Amy. 
“There’s no where for you to run, Egg-butt!”

“Oh no, Sonic!” Robotnik sneered. “I always have a means of escape!”

Robotnik pressed a button on a device he had on his wrist. His 
Egg-Mech burst through a nearby door. It fired several shots, causing 
everybody to scatter for cover! Robotnik climbed aboard the Egg-Mech.

“Well, this island is not to my liking!” He said.

Robotnik used the Egg-Mech’s rocket launcher to fire a hole through 
the roof.

“Farewell my friends!” Robotnik said as he made his escape.

“Get back here and fight! You son of a…” Sonic shouted after him.

“Damn!” said Tails, “If I just had the Tornado with me!”

“Aww, forget it buddy!” Sonic said.

Suddenly, Sonic heard a clicking sound behind him. It was the sound of 
Metal Sonic’s weaponry locking on target!

“Damn!” Sonic said. “I forgot about him!”

“Never thought it would be this easy to get the drop on you, my old 
‘friend!’” Metal Sonic said, “but…”

Metal Sonic, to everyone’s surprise, fired his own hole through the 
roof. “Destroying you that easily would give me no pleasure, Sonic! 
Far too easy and much too quick! So, I’m taking my own leave of this 
place! But we WILL meet again, Sonic! And sooner than you think!” 
Metal Sonic flew away.

“I’ll be looking forward to it, Metal!” Sonic said to no one in 
particular.

Tails was helping to untie Copan and Sayil. “C’mon! Let’s get out of 
here!”

“You said it, buddy!” Sonic said. He turned to Amy. “By the way, you 
did good! Both with Zero and especially with Eggman!”

Amy was surprised to have Sonic actually compliment her! She didn’t 
know what to say other than just “Oh, Sonic!”

Sonic took Amy by the hand and looked her in the eye. “Amy? Can you 
forgive me for how I treated you before? I…. I….I looo…. Ahem!…I, 
uhhh, looov…”

Suddenly, alarms began to blare and red lights began to flash!

“What’s going on?!” Sayil said.

A mechanical-sounding voice was heard. “Self-destruct has been 
activated! Five minutes until destruction!”

“Crap!” Tails said. “Eggman’s set off the ship’s self-destruct!”

“Then we better get a move-on!” Sonic said.

“Wait!” Tails said. “There’s something we have to do first!”
