Last one standing (Extreme would you rather)

Ch. 10 "I hope you burn in Hell."

Amy was silently sobbing.

Shadow sat frozen, and unblinking.

And Sonic,

Shaking, staring into the glass.

Rouge sat, her eyes glued the glass, with dry eyes, and whispering to herself, or Knuckles, it was hard to tell. She let out heaved breathes, hands trying to reach something far off her grasp.

"Sonic, your turn." Eggman said, drawing reality back to them.

"Uhh...I choose the-" Sonic started. He paused to watch in shock as the floor beneath Knuckles disappeared, dropping the corpse into the abyss.

Shadow looked up, clearly annoyed. "Was that really necessary, Dr.?!" He asked bitterly.

"Unless you wanted it to rot there then yes. I was going to examine the damage but i guess you're too ungrateful."

"Wait, you know why he died exactly?" Amy asked confused, wiping the last of her tears away.

"Ugh fine, he died of internal bleeding, and heart attack." Eggman said. "When he was branded, I must have punctured his lung or something, causing him to cough. When the fireworks went up, the readings show a massive increase in his heart rate. The blood clotted into the lungs, and the explosives destroyed his hands. Too much for the weak body to handle." He finished.

Rouge looked away in disgust.

"Please continue, Sonic." The doctor said, another smile creeping onto his face.

The blue blur gulped. This or nothing.

"I choose the card."

Shadow merely facepalmed, while Rouge and Amy sat in shock. "Sonic, we don't want you to end up like Knuckles!"They both said.

As they tried to convince Sonic, the deck of cards moved in front of him.

He drew it.

Amy sat, paralyzed, she had clearly lucked out, but her friends, not so much.

Sonic froze.

"No..."

He sat very still, and slowly looked up at the hologram.

"I take it back."

"Oh no no!!" Eggman said laughing. "You're stuck with that now," he said, grinning wickedly.

"Eggman, you know...I can't...why would you even..." Sonic sat uncomfortably, fidgeting. The restraints unlocked, signaling it was time.

He walked to the chamber, afraid.

Four whole minutes.

Sonic turned to face the remaining three. He couldn't let them down. But... then again... only one could survive, so what even was the point.

Clearing his throat, "Any last words, Sonic?" Eggman asked.

"I hope you burn in Hell." He snarled at the doctor. His friends were a taken aback by Sonic's statement. Shadow looked into Sonic's emerald eyes. They met. Eggman had mentality broken Sonic. Sonic broke the gaze, and addressed the girls.

"Whoever lives must promise me something." He said, his voice wavering.

They all nodded their heads, eager to listen. "Promise me, you'll tell everyone what happened, and remember those who have died."

"3,"

"One more thing," Sonic said, looking at Amy.

"2,"

"That I want to say," he started, tears welling in his eyes.

"1,"

Water began to rapidly fill the chamber. His feet left the ground, and his flailing arms became an issue, choking on the water.

"AMY, I LO-" he was cut off as the water ate the air up.

"SONIC!" Amy screamed. This was even worse than Knuckles.

"Come on, Sonic!" Shadow said, making fists.

Not even a minute in, Sonic was already loosing it.

Amy sat screaming his name as she watched the love of her life, snatched, in an instant from her.
