Vanilla spent a little over 3 hours working on Amy's wounds. Like Flame, Amy had suffered Internal bleeding. Thankfully, it wasn't as serious as Flame's bleeding. She was slightly feverish and had some trouble breathing. It would take a while for Amy to heal fully, but she would most definitely survive.

 

Vanilla sat next to Amy along with Cream, whom had been crying all afternoon. Amy laid under the covers of Sonic's bed, breathing slowly and shallowly. Vanilla ran her hand through Amy's quills, sympathetically.

 

“Amy dear… I'm so sorry this happened to you when you're so young… are you going to be alright?”

 

Amy was silent for a moment. She stared straight ahead, her mind blank as Vanilla continued to stroke her quills. Finally, she retorted. “Yes, thank you; I'm going to be alright. Bad things happen to everyone, right? It doesn't matter.” Amy forced a fake smile, trying not to let her voice crack. The truth was, the whole situation was eating her from inside out.

 

It took great effort for her to hide her misery; to hide her shame. She felt dirty and changed. The spunky young girl was now a shaken, cold victim. Tears filled her eyes, but she refused to let them run. Vanilla frowned. It was obvious that Amy was in a lot of pain. “Amy dear, why don't you stay with me for a while? Just until you feel comfortable enough to be alone? Its going to be very hard if you stay by yourself in a time like this….”

 

 

Amy paused once again, then shook her head sluggishly. In a faint voice she replied, “No, I don't need to… its okay… I'm fine on my own…”

 

Cream sobbed softly, frowning just as her mother had. “B-but Amy… You're too hurt to be alone… please Amy… please…?”

 

Amy forced a smile once again as she looked towards the young rabbit. “Cream, you're my closest friend; I wouldn't lie to you. I don't need to stay with anyone—I'm fine here.” Cream didn't take the reply easily. She burst into tears, feeling horrible about her best friend's injury. She wrapped her arms tightly aground Amy, causing her to flinch in pain. Her stomach was very tender from her injury, and the slightest touch caused a burning pain. Cream released her, realizing this.

 

“Please… Amy… Please?”

 

Vanilla took Cream into her arms, consoling her as she headed for the door. She took one last sympathetic look at Amy and said, “Let me know if you change your mind, Amy; You're always welcome with us.” She left the Room so Amy could rest properly.

 

 

~What am I gonna do….?~

 

 

--Meanwhile, At Robotnik's Base--

 

Flame laid motionless on the “operating table,”—His stomach was spread wide open. His stomach, liver, and one of his lungs had been removed and replaced with Robotic ones. His left arm and right leg had been replaced as well, even though they had needed no medical attention. Robotnik also took the pleasure of giving Flame new eyes, Allowing much more accurate sight and reaction time. In his brain he had planted a small chip as well, assuring Flame's loyalty to him. He made sure to keep that information to himself.

 

Now all that was left was feeding Flame's new parts a power source.

 

 

“HO HO HO, This will be the ULTIMATE creation… Sonic won't know what hit him… or should I say, ANIHILLATED him…” Eggman flipped a Switch to the right, which had been set to the “ON” selection after a brief stubborn battle. The machine Robotnik was using was seldom activated, and was even a little rusty. Within the Machine was the Master Emerald, which would be Flame's main power source.

 

Green energy traveled through clear tubes heading towards Flame, curling around and weaving hear and there. When the energy reached Flame's body, his back immediately arched, the massive energy shaking each of his limbs. His eyes shot open; Mechanical ones, green in the center and metallic all around. He began to Scream in pain as more and more energy entered his body; it was now at an unbearable and toxic level.

 

“Yes… we're almost done, Flame…” Robotnik watched in glee as Flame's arms surged with energy, as well as his legs and then his head. His canines grew longer and his limbs had grown bigger. His skin brightened as well as his fur, which truly was flaming now. The transformation that Robotnik had hoped for had now come true.

 

“Ah, yes… one moment, Flame; let me set off this machine…” Robotnik attempted to flick the switch back to the “OFF” setting, but could not succeed. He pushed with all his force and yet still failed.

 

“Damn thing… if I don't switch it off, Flame's power will be too much…!!!” he once again tried to flip up the switch but could not. Flame now screamed at the top of his lungs a blood curdling yelp of agony, digging his hands deep into the operating table. Veins burst all over his body—on his arms, his forehead, his legs, and his neck. There was no way that Flame would be okay after this… would he?

 

Warning signals blared through Robotnik's base; the place was going to Explode. The ground shook causing Robotnik to fall to the ground as he watched in horror.

 

“What…. What have I DONE…!?!?!”

 

When the machine as well as Flame could take no more, it finally happened—the machine exploded in a strong flash of light. An enormous sonic-wave was sent across Mobius; so strong, everyone felt it.

 

 

--On Angel Island 2 minutes after the explosion--

 

“Whoa… what the… what the hell!?”

 

Sonic and Knuckles watched as a huge, green mushroom cloud made its way through the sky. Huge lightning bolts shot from it, And some even crashed on Angel Island. Fires were starting everywhere; the Ocean was extremely hazardous and cracked with electricity.

 

Suddenly, the two were knocked back by the huge sonic-wave, which was so strong it even moved Angel Island.

 

“Sh-Shit!!! What the hell is happening!?” Knuckles blocked his face as sticks and leaves flew through the air. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his Chest. He clenched it tightly, and then began to Scream.

 

“AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!” Sonic was shocked; he'd never seen Knuckles in so much pain.

 

“Knuckles!!! Knuckles, what's going on!?” Sonic knelt by the crimson echidna's side, placing a hand on his shoulder. “KNUCKLES!!!!”

 

Knuckles collapsed onto the soil, breathing shallowly and still clenching his chest. “T-the Master E-Emerald… I F-Failed… My Ancestors…” He clenched his chest harder, hollering once again in agony. Sonic continued watching in horror, wondering what would become of his old time friend. “Knuckles… Knuckles listen to me!! what happened to the Emerald!?”

 

Knuckles used all of his last ounce of energy to reply to Sonic. “The emerald… Its … gone…” He now laid motionless, unconscious. He was still breathing, which meant still alive. Sonic quickly slung him over his shoulder then stared towards the mushroom cloud once again.

 

“I don't know what happened… but I promise you Knux… we'll find out.”

 

--Sonic's house, 3 minutes after the explosion--

 

“Mama, What was that loud boom?!” Cream stared worriedly at Vanilla, whom had been startled by the loud noise as well. The sky was now dark, and the stove short-circuited. “Oh my… how will I feed you two now…” She left the kitchen with Cream, A loud crack of thunder startling them both.

 

Lighting shot across the sky everywhere, and soon all the lights went out. Vanilla and Cream quickly ran to Sonic's bedroom to make sure that Amy was okay. When they arrived there, Amy was standing infront of the window, the wind blowing her quills rapidly.

 

“Amy; please dear, get away from the window!! Its dangerous!!!!!”

 

Amy continued to stare out at the clouded sky, unable to take her eyes away from it. “What… what's going on…?”

 

Before anyone could answer, the enormous sonic-wave of energy hit Sonic's house, causing the girls to fly into the back wall, and the side of the house to collapse as well. Wood and appliances flew everywhere, but luckily nothing too major hit the girls. They all laid unconscious on the cracked, wooden floor.

 

--Tail's workshop, 2 and a half minutes after the explosion--

 

Tails sat in one of his chairs sipping a soda, taking a break from one of his latest inventions. Rouge leaned against one of the metal walls, curious to see why the young fox spent so much time in there when the loud BOOM! Had been heard.

 

Tails and Rouge ran outside, curious as to what happened. “What…What is going on….?!” Rouge Watched as trees were struck down here and there by the wildly-flying lightning. Tails stared nervously into the sky; he then noticed the strange mushroom cloud.

 

“What the-- I've never seen anything like it!!!” Before he could continue, a huge sonic-wave hit him and Rouge, sending them flying. Seeing as they were adapted to being in the air, the two had quickly tried to fight back by flying against the huge wave. It only grew stronger though, and eventually the two were sent straight into a tree's thick trunk. Tails was immediately knocked out and Rouge was barely conscious. “W-what… is all of th-this…? She laid by the young fox, unable to stand.

 

 

 

The thunder continued and the Cloud eventually spread across the whole sky. Rain began to fall, rain filled with the raging energy, penetrating anything it hit on Mobius. All the inhabitants cried in agony, and many died. The contaminated rain didn't last long fortunately; soon after, regular showers followed.

 

Within Eggman's base, The Master emerald was now a shattered grey rock, hard as stone and dull as the ominous sky.

 

Flame stood tall with a new body, self, personality--a new being. He was no longer hedgehog, or any animal with the slightest hint of a conscience.

 

And Eggman,…

 

 

 

Eggman laid dead.
