At the same time Amy and Sonic are hunting in the forest, Shadow and Silver were running through the forest in animal forms to find Scourge's castle.

"Brother, are you sure we will make it out of there?" Silver asked Shadow through telepathy.

"Ha ha, I have no idea" Shadow said and keeps running. They soon came to the area where the castle was. It was a medium sized one and it was still under work.

"So, got a plan Silver?" Shadow asked Silver through telepathy. The silver/white deer turned back to a hedgehog and thinks for a moment. Then it popped out.

"I know, I demand my birds to attack the guards, I just shout fly my pretties" Silver said.

"Hmph. Sounds stupid but it's worth a try"  Shadow said, turning into a hedgehog as well.

"But first we need to get past the ones who live in the village and the troopers and guards. So be careful" Shadow added.

"Okay then" Silver nodded. The two hedgehogs get to the castle and sees the guards marching back and forth on the castle walls. They hide inside a bush, waiting for the birds to attack under Silver's command.

"Alright, here goes nothing. Be ready" Silver said. He sees a pack of crows in the trees nearby the castle and smirks. He showed himself for the crows and his eyes glows a teal blue again.

"Crows, attack the guards" Silver telepathically commands the crows. They turned their attention to him and then at the guards at the castle. When Silver lowered his arm for 'attack' they all cawed and dives toward the guards.

"Fly my pretties. Fly, fly, fly" Silver chuckled.

"Now, let's get past them!" Shadow said. They jump up on the walls and sneaks down a nearby tower while the birds are attacking them. But on the way down the stairs, some guards spot them and threaten them with spears.

"Stay back savages!" the guards yelled.

"Aiee! Aiee! Lalllaaaalaaa!" Shadow screams in indian style and turns into a horse again. He kicked them down with his hooves.

"Aiee! Aiee! LAAA!!!" Silver screamed and turned into his deer form and knocks down the guards with his antlers. The guards fell down the stairs and lands at the floor down the tower.

"Alright, let's go to the prison" Shadow said in telepathy. They headed down the stairs and walks over the unconscious guards.

At the prison cell

Amethyst was sitting on her bed and is very worried about Amy. That until she heard beating sounds and screams from the upper floor.

"Huh?" Amethyst got up to see what it is. A guard fell down the stairs in a comically manner. Then a horse and deer walked in and Shadow stands on his hind legs to bust the cage bars down.

"*NEIGGGGGHHH*" he busts them down and morphs back to a hedgehog.

"Who-who are you?" Amethyst gasped.

"I'm Shadow, and we are here to bring you back to Amy" Shadow said.

"You know her?" Amethyst asked.

"Yes, but we must get out of here now!" Silver said, "Get on my back and hold on tight" he said and turns into a deer again.

Amethyst jumped on Silver's back and they ran through the stairs through the castle. But just as they are about to get out, many guards had their spears lowered down pointing at them.

"Stop right there!"

"*NEIGGGGHHH*" Shadow charges at them like an angry bull.

"SHOOT HIM!!!" the trooper shouted. Some other guards took out crossbows and fired arrows at Shadow, only a few managed to hit him.

"ARRRGH!!" Shadow screamed in pain. But he keeps running at the gate which was about to be closed.

"Hurry!" Shadow shouted.

Silver then counts his hoofs and tackles the guards down with his horns and jumps over the gate bridge before it closed. He then landed safely on his hoofs to turn back to a hedgehog. Amethyst jumped off him to let him transform.

"Phew, that was close" Silver said. But he noticed that Shadow got some arrows stuck on him, even as a hedgehog.

"Shadow, you are hurt" Silver said.

"Urrrrgh! Ah! It's nothing" Shadow groaned while pulling out an arrow from his side, "I'm fine! Don't worry about me. I'm very strong to deal with pains"

"How did you find me?" Amethyst asked them.

"You daughter told me about you getting locked in so I asked the ancestors spirits where to find you. If you wonder I'm a Native indian" Silver said.

"Is she safe?" Amethyst asked him.

"Yes. Let's go before the guards get us" Silver said.

------

In the forest, Sonic in his wolf form trying to warm up Amy on his back while getting back to his place.

"Don't worry Amy, we are very close to home" Sonic telepathy said to her. Amy smiled softly on his back and nuzzled on his fur. She realized how warm and fluffy his fur was. Sonic looked back and smiled a bit. That until a strong fist punches them both aside, making Amy fall off Sonic's back.

"Stay away from the gypsy, blue wolf! She belongs to our highness!" the stranger shouted.

"Who are you!?" Amy asked him.

"I'm Crimson the Echidna and I'm Scourge's strongest second in command!" Crimson said.

Sonic got up snarling angrily, "AARRRROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" he howled for the normal wolves to come in to stop this intruder.

Soon the area was surrounded by snarling and barking when a pack of wolves arrives at the scene. But the echidna scoffs and smirks evilly.

"Let's see what these dogs are made of!" Crimson said and held his fists up. The wolf pack ran toward him and attempts to bite him but he kicks and punches some of them away.

Some of the wolves managed to bite his arms and legs, thus giving Sonic and Amy the chance to flee from the echidna. Amy jumped on Sonic's back and they ran away to his house.

"I hope the wolves are able to kick his ass" Amy said to the blue wolf.

"I hope so" Sonic said. But little did they know that Crimson possesses super-strength and he managed to defeat the wolf pack.

"You can run, but you can't hide from me in the snow" Crimson growled.

-----

Back to Sonic's house, they quickly closed the door and closed the curtains.

"There, he won't find us if the weather cover our tracks" Sonic said in normal hedgehog form.

"But he'll still keep looking. He sure doesn't want to make King Scourge angry" Amy said.

"Yeah. And the wolves can't hold him forever" Sonic said.

"That's what worries me" Amy said.

"But I promise I will protect you, Amy" Sonic said, hugging her.

"Thanks, Sonic" Amy hugs him back.

Shadow, Amethyst and Silver arrived back at their tribe to their Tipi tents.

"Where's Amy?" Amethyst asked.

"Don't worry, she's safe with our blue friend Sonic" Silver said.

"Right now you need to change into different clothes" Shadow said, handing her the winter indian outfit.

"Thanks" Amethyst takes the outfit and goes to a different tent to change her outfit.

While she was changing, Shadow and Silver had a talk about Amy.

"So Shadow, you think you got a feeling for Amy?" Silver asked.

"She seems so stunning and nice. What about you?" Shadow asked.

"Eh, she seems pretty for a gypsy. But I think she's more interested with Sonic. I'm not jealous" Silver said.

"Uh huh? I can see that since he saved her first. Maybe we should let them know each other more" Shadow said.

"Agreed" Silver nodded.
