And that she was, making sure each and everyone of the mobian citizens got to safety, not leaving any of them behind as she was the last to leave the ruins of her old home, now burning in flames as she searched for shadow to make sure the black hedgehog was OK as well.

safer place. If anything, he's meant to distract and remove the number of threats. He hopes the pink hedgehog is doing her job.

Amy just watched as he dashed away, not with a second thought, leaving Amy by the burning building. She just gave a small sigh, turning around, she scanned the horizon for any more helpless victims.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

so I have to deal with them, keep them at bay and eliminate them, you find the others and get them all away from this area. Do it now." He didn't wait for her to respond, he just completely dashed off, once more, unto the battle fray.

Shocked, Amy jumped back as she took a moment to assess the situation. "W-what are you..?" She was confused, she's never seen a dinosaur- let alone anything that looked... well deformed.

Amy nodded firmly, struggling to her feet. She stumbled before gaining her balance, giving shadow a side look. "I know, I'll save them all no matter what." Was then only words she dare speak, it was true, she wanted all her friends saved, and she was gonna do that, whether shadow helped or not-

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

think the threat would be him. Just go now. There's still more that needs to be saved. I'm holding them off. Go now." He never thought of anything else, his mission was to save her world, its residents and her.

She had her hand over her head face, to brace for debris and other small objects as the building came down on her, to her surprise... nothing happened. Looking up, she saw none other than shadow, "S-Shadow...? You saved me...?" She was a bit surprised by this, she thought the dark hedgehog-

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

ruins and he has warned her about this outcome. And speaking of the dark hedgehog, he suddenly appeared right before the debris fell over, kicking it away from the pink hedgehog. "...You need to watch your surroundings more." Seems he saved her in the nick of time.

Meanwhile, the dorky pink hedgehog would help the residents out of rubble and debris, making sure they all were able to get to safety. As she continued searching, she didn't hear the house behind her start to creak and shake. Her reflexes were too slow. As soon as she turned around the house-

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

In the distance, the fire was spreading, townsfolk were evacuating the burning buildings. The dark hedgehog heads over to see a bunch of creatures terrorizing the lands. He wastes no time heading for that direction, halting the progress of whatever invasion this is.

It happened so fast... the next thing she knew shadow was already halfway into the distance. "Y-yea no problem.." Amy stammered, looking around the firey, landscape of what used to be greenhill as she surveyed the area, trying to see who needed assistance.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

haste otherwise more catastrophes can happen. "...Check for survivors. And go help them, I'll go find the threat." He immediately dashed off into the distance.

Amy felt her body being pulled in a direction as she quickly grabbed the cloth before she got pulled away. Making sure to cover her mouth and nose so the smoke wouldn't have a point of entry. "Y-yea ok you make a good point.." Amy pointed out as she trailed off, as she let the dark hedgehog-

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

Without waiting for the pink hedgehog's response, he grabbed her wrist and started running down hill.

"No, of course not!" The pink hedgehog exclaimed between coughs. She couldn't understand how the other WASN'T affected by the smoke. It was too thick... and definitely too hard to breathe.. but she kept that to herself. "I wanna rescue them, but I can barely breathe... who will save them if-

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"Go back? Do you want your friends to die? Or have you lost caring about them in the slightest?" What was this girl even thinking? Did she hit her head somewhere?

Amy couldn't process what happened- it all went by too fast, the next thing she knew, it was hot, and the smoke made it hard to breathe. Surveying the area, Amy could conclude... shadow brought her through the portal, still feeling his strong grip on her arm. She turned to him. "S-shadow?!" --

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

His eyelids blink once, his crimson orbs continue to stare into the ring portal. The world was still intact but it was burning. Suddenly the dark hedgehog grabbed Amy's wrist, not saying a single word, pulling her along with him as they both jump into the ring portal.

Amys ears flicked, she didnt see what was through the portal at first... she was too deep in thought, but at shadows, "What?" She turned to see into the portal for the first time. The once vibrant world, now overtook by flames and many other disasters, she almost couldn't belive her eyes, -

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"...? What?" His eyelids twitch. The thing he was dreading. Is her world...? This is not good.

Once the golden portal lit up the spot where her own world would be away from this strange one, she gave a sigh, turning back for possibly the last time- she didn't think she would be able to see this black hedgehog again. "Well... I guess this is goodbye, huh?" She wanted to get to know this-

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

Well there's one exception but even then, her case is vital. Unlike the pink hedgehog here. He's aware of how harsh he is, but that's only because Amy wouldn't listen. She's stubborn for her own good.

"Ok ok I'm going.." She sighed, shaking her pink dorky head defetedly, her pink quills swaying at the motion. "I'll go back to my own world" Amy looked a bit... annoyed? Sad? It was hard to tell as she set up the golden ring portal again.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"......." He's looking not too pleased with her responsive answers.

"What...? No! Im not that naive!" She tried to defend herself, although this shadow was making pretty good points at her.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"Never would have think of it, yet what are you doing? Are you that naive?" He's not minding her reaction, but hitting her with reality with the result of her actions.

"I would never even think of it!" The dorky hedgehog replied, looking a bit offended by shadows comment

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"Then what the hell are you doing, Rose? You're risking it, and not to mention why are you abandoning them?" And if it's because of him? It doesn't make sense, they don't know each other. All he knows is that he has met her variant before...

"W-what?! N-no I'm not!!"

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"Are you asking for an entire disaster?" Yeah no that's aggravating him even further. Good lord.

"Wait! What if I bring them HERE? Problem solved!" She seemed very happy with herself at the suggestion.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"...You're telling me, you want to stay with a bunch of strangers, compared to seeing the friends you've been staying with for years?" He's finding this pink hedgehog to be even more ridiculous than before.

"I-I know that!! But um... I dont know if I wanna go back..." She admitted

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"What are you on about? You were supposed to go through the portal." Crossing his arms, his glare still obvious from his expression.

"Well, something is keeping me here-" She tried to explain to the black hedgehog.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"...And why are you still here?" His voice emits a low growl from his statement. He's most likely annoyed by her decision.

"Well... er..." She couldn't stare him in the eyes, so she stared anywhere but there. "Y-yea.."

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"Didn't I tell you to go back?" Clearly there was irritation in his voice.

The small dorkie hedgehog tried to dodge from the oncoming hedgehog attack, immediately tripping over her own feet, falling to the ground.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

The pink hedgehog dies in explosion (not cannon just the funnies) :3

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

She turned to walk away, seeing a dark hedgehog figure. It startled her so badly that she almost dropped the ring portal she was holding, "S-Shadow?" She tilted her dorky pink head at him. It was too dark for her to see, the foliage hiding the features of him, "I-Is that you?"

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

Amy was conflicted for a while as she stared at the ring. Should she go? Should she stay? It was all a lot to think about, and if she did go, she'd leave behind Maria and Shadow, who she just met... but if she didn't, her whole world might get destroyed... plus, she would get another lecture from-

Shadows' words kept playing on repeat as he left her near the golden ring portal, looking at the now walking away hedgehog then to the portal and back again, trying to figure out what to do.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"...Fine." He starts to walk off for a bit, before turning back to gaze at the pink hedgehog. "If you know what's good for you, you know what to do." With that, he left her to her own choices. It was up to her decide what fate is going to happen.

"I-I'm going, give me a minute-" She said that, but she wasn't sure if she'd be able to go through it. Let alone in a minute.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"...What are you waiting for?" A raise from his eyebrow, he could sense some hesitation from the pink hedgehog.

She took on last look at shadow, her ears flattening, seemingly unable to move toward the now exit, "Uh... yea..." She mumbled.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"...Then don't idle around. I shouldn't see you here the next time I come around here." He threw the ring out as it grows into the size of a portal, waiting for her to exit.

"Yea... I know what i need to do..." She realized there was no compromising, she sighed, maybe she could take shadows ring, so she could visit him anytime... hm...

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"If you know what's good for you and your friends, the choice is obvious." He's well aware of how harsh he's being but he's been in this situation countless times. It's for the greater good.

Amy flinched at his heated glare, "Ok ok... I'll go back..." She mumbled hoping shadow didnt hear.

𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕙𝕠𝕘@darkedgehog.bsky.social · last yr.

"And that's why you should head back, unless you don't care for your friends back home. Do you?" Crimson orbs glare at her with judgement in it.
