Infinite,Rachel and Mimori walked along the Dark Emerald Coast. They wouldnt say it,but they hated what had become of their world. Mimori spoke up-"I Can't believe this is happening.." the Alicorn looked upset,and the Arctic wolf put a hand on her shoulder. "It'll be okay..I promise!" Infinite meanwhile was grumbling. "And i thought i wanted to end the world back in the day.." The three mobians eventually sat by the ocean,wondering if anybody else were on that dessolate path.

Dark. Emerald. Coast.

Named such for the perpetual twilight that hung over it. Those with eyes unsuited for the night might even find themselves feeling blind as they walked through it. The air had a medium to high concentration of free-floating starvia in it, making it slightly toxic such that staying here for even a day or two without some form of air purification device somewhat dangerous even barring the terrible creatures that haunted this place. Speaking of which...

“ ...Wait, those are people! What are people doing out here?? ...If I just run past, they'll get eaten!! ”

Amy's pinkness stood out against the darkness as she attempted to skid to a stop from her previous sonic speed^tm dash, only to trip all over her feet after hitting a stone embedded in the ground and fall on her face, sliding the rest of the way into Rachel such that her head harmlessly bumped into Rachel's legs before coming to a stop. "...Ow!" she softly whined as she picked herself up. However, before she could apologize or introduce herself, a horrible noise announced the presence of something much more frightening. It sounded like something between a dog's growling and a cat's hissing, and the large volume of the noise hinted at the owner's massive size. Amy flinched at the sound and quickly hopped to her feet.

“ --I'm sorry! ”

After quickly apologizing, Amy stepped forth and promptly hugged Rachel rather tightly. Though the hug was on the affectionate side, there was no ignoring how frightened she was acting. The quills on her head bristled defensively, and she closed her eyes in an extremely anxious manner. Not that it mattered, since at a meager 2'11'', she had inadvertently buried her head in Rachel's bosom in the process of hugging her. Whatever she'd meant to follow that apology up with was accidentally muffled beyond recognition by marshmallow hell.

From out of the darkness, a giant king cobra emerged! A monster that huge stood a good chance of killing someone with a single bite, either because of its ludicrously large fangs or the amount of deadly venom released. It promptly slithered over to Amy, easily keeping pace with her such that one barely had time to react before it closed the distance. It then lashed out! ...But stopped, having noticed the quills. While it probably could do a lot more damage than Amy's quills could do to it, ...it also really just preferred not to have a mouth full of needles. It shifted, trying to get a better angle on the two girls. However, Amy slightly leaned to the left and right, following its angry growl using her ears and cutting it off. Rachel could feel her shaking gently. Eventually, the snake became annoyed and decided to go after Mimori! However, when Amy heard the source of the growling begin to move away from her, she abruptly lashed out, releasing Rachel and bouncing into the air, her piko piko hammer appearing in a burst of pretty pink hearts so that she could deliver a terrible, squeaky blow to the back of the snake's skull with a girlish "Hyah~!" The snake abruptly went silent and collapsed before turning into a trophy, having suffered some pretty serious skull trauma from the force of Amy's blow. The small pink hedgehog landed nearby, turning to address the group.

“ Hello! No need to thank me! But I'll definitely accept it if you want to~! Sorry for bringing that big mean noodle your way. My name's Amy, and it was kind of an accident. Heehee~ ”

...It didn't seem like she'd even recognized Infinite. Then again, this was the same girl that confused both Silver and Shadow for Sonic. Judging by the bright and inviting smile, Amy was quite proud of herself. That had been way scary!

[Kari Meadowwing]

Rachel was shaken up but looked greatful. "Thank you so much1 I really appreciate it!" Infinite speaks up as well= "Yes thak you Miss. Rose. I appreciate it.." He was shocked she did not remember him. The Arctic wolf was confused. Infinite knew this pink hedgehog? "You two..Know eachother?" The Wolf was now totally lost.

Mimori whome had been watchig spoke up-"So.. Whats new?" She had always been oay with amy. She was wondering if anything new ws up with the pink hedgehog. Infinite just huffed-"Should date me.. Id ever leave her like that blue one does all the time." Infinite was joking of course, but just his luck amu may take it seriously.

[Mari]

“ You're welcome, Miss! Sorry about getting all up in your business like that. For a moment there I wasn't sure whether I was holding my breath because I was scared or because I couldn't breathe. Heehee~ ”

Amy's hammer seemed to disintegrate into a bunch of pretty pink herats which fluttered in the air a bit before popping. She then just kinda stopped. Did she know who now? "Oh, ... nothing, I was just trying to find--" Amy began, watching Infinite carefully. That guy in the... That... fox... No--...Jackal. ...In a mask... That mask... Oh heck, that was Infinite! And he was ... f-flirting with her?? That comment hurt a lot actually, but more importantly, that was Infinite! The Infinite who took Sonic away from her. The Infinite who put her world under his boot. And he wanted ...her. Amy withered like a timid little flower, shrinking slightly as her knees went weak and she recoiled in on herself in heart-stopping terror.

“ A-Ah, um... Please don't... hu-hurt me. ”

[Kari Meadowwing]

Infinite lookeat amy. "dont worry ive changed." The Arctic wolf walked up with a nod. "so your amy huh? My names Rachel, and the Alicorn behind me is Mimori." Said horse mobian had waved at amy, and just sighs. "its.. good to see you again Amy." The girl looked away awfwardly. "So what brings you here?" They asked all at oncez

Amy was just kind of frozen in place, looking up at Infinite with her hands clasped over her heart, wringing them slightly in an anxious manner. And then... he told her he'd changed. Changed?? ...How, exactly? That was weird, but then finding out Sonic wasn't Sonic was also pretty weird. She paused for a moment before producing a tarot card deck from I don't even know where and beginning to shuffle it thoughtfully.

“ Oh, I was just... looking for Chaos Emeralds, actually. I found one of them, which I guess means Sonic probably hasn't collected them. Either that or he'll have to come see me if he wants the last one, right~? Ehehe... ”

Amy seemed somewhat half-hearted in her joking. She finished shuffling the tarot card deck and glanced back to Infinite, plucking a card from the top of the deck and turning it over to look at it with her free hand. Her eyes widened in surprise.

That... was not the card that Amy was hoping to see.

Amy quietly slipped the card back into the deck and began shuffling it again. Oh well. There was nothing she could do about it right now.

“ Actually, Sonic hasn't been 'around'. I thought he was, but he turned out to be Mephiles playing with my heart strings. I nearly became a villain all because I wanted to impress Sonic. ...I'm just glad that Arle found me and talked me out of it before I did anything I might regret. ”

“ ...I still feel like Sonic is out there somewhere, but Arle helped me realize there are a lot of other heroes here on Li worth chasing after, and that sometimes I just need to run my own way and see who chases me. I thought maybe if I could collect the rest of the chaos emeralds I might be able to become a better heroine myself, but it's really hard to stop and search this place with all the evil monsters around, so I haven't had much luck. ”

[Kari Meadowwing]

The three loked a bit shocked. Amy had given up chasing sonic? Who was this girl and what had she doen with amy But Rachel shook off her fear. "You okay amy? You looked like you saw something horrid for a second." Leave it to Rachel to be optimistic a bit too much. Infinite was just raising a brow, and looked at amy. "Something wrong miss rose?" Mimori just stayed distracted, looking at the water. "This place used to be so beautiful.. its real sad wat happened."

[Mari]

Amy seemed a little down and troubled compared to her usual self. While this could largely be chalked up to the tragedy of Li, one could also surmise that recent events had been rather hard on her. She continued shuffling her deck, gesturing to it to draw attention to what she was doing by holding it up in clearer view.

“ Well... Have you ever gotten your fortunes told? Sometimes you're really hoping to see something when you tell someone their fortune and you get something else... Watch. I'll do me! ”

"...Huh. Even the tarot deck thinks I'm a fool~"

“ You might think the fool is a bad draw, but it's actually a pretty good card given the circumstances~! That's why it's important to have your fortune taken by someone who knows both you and the cards well enough to interpret them. Sometimes though, not even I know what a card really 'means'... Those are the most frustrating of all. ”

[Kari Meadowwing]

Infinite looked interested. "When did yu take up Tairot as a hobby?" He was confuised. last tiem they met, she was only intrested in smashing his face in. Rachel and Mimori just watched, rachel feeling a bit wary about their surroundings. "I swear we are being watched.." She mumbles.
Mari

[Amy Rose, Yours Truly~]

Amy seemed to light up at Infinite's question. You'd almost think he'd mentioned Sonic from the way she was beaming at him!

“ --I've always had a thing for the paranormal~! I thought everyone knew that, but I guess I've had a lot of other things on my mind the last few times we met. . . Ghosts, fortune telling, the spirit world, magic. . . I even hang out with a group of witches these days~! Hehe~ . . . They're nice. ”

...Huh. Turns out Amy was obsessed with other things too. Who would've taken her for an occultist? --Other than anyone who had the misfortune of fighting her in Sonic Battle, pun intended. Get it? Because she probably placed a curse on them. At the mention of being watched though, Amy glanced around for a long moment.

“ ...Oh yeah. There's no real privacy out here. Even when you think you're alone, there are ghosts and--mmh.. 'fine airborne particulars' floating around that are paying attention. Especially in a place like this. Not to mention monsters that want to eat us. I'm still worked up from that snake! Or did you mean something else..? ”

[Kari Meadowwing]

Rachel and Infintie were now lookin around for whomever ws spying on them. Whoever it was, they werent very good at hiding. Thats when they realized it was simply an Owl, that hooted and flew away. They sighed in relief. "Ayway Amy.. It's nice to speak to you on friendly terms. Rachel said, smiling.
