Amy Rose shook her head while walking back to her own apartment. Really, that Knuckles... sometimes, he was just as terrible as Sonic. Boys... she would never understand them.
Without her noticing it, some little capsule floated nearby and attached itself to her hammer, which she still hadn't put back into hammer space.
Then it lit up in an eery light. "Whaaah!" Amy shouted and dropped her mallet. "What's going on?"
"PIKOPIKO!"
The mallet grew until it resembled a human wearing a mallet-shaped helmet and gloves with attached mallets on their ends. "Prepare for a pounding," the daimon shouted.
"Eeeek," Amy screamed. "Normally I'm the one doing the pounding..."
PikoPiko smirked. "Then let me return the favor... HA!" And she smacked her giant mallet-head down on the street.
"YIKES!" Amy jumped aside. "You almost flattened me, you creep!"
The daimon laughed. "Well, that was my intention, dear..."
Amy wished she could give that stupid creature a piece of her mind... and some good, old-fashioned malleting.
But sadly, said creature WAS her favorite mallet.
PikoPiko stormed forward again and raised her two mallet-hands. "Now prepare to be pounded!"
"DEEP SUBMERGE!"
A gleaming ball of energy hit the daimon and showered it with water. "Gyaaaah," it screamed. "Who was that?"
The sleek cheetah and the elegant dolphin were standing back to back. "Heralded by..."
A green, scaled hand smacked the cheetah-girl on the head. "Spare us the speeches! Just attack!"
"GERONIMOOO!" a small, hyperactive bee shouted as he dove for the daimon, stinger extended.
"Whaah! Augh! No! Get away! That stings!" the mallet-monster screamed as Charmy buzzed around her and let her taste his stinger multiple times.
On a traffic light, a purple chameleon appeared out of nowhere. "Behold my Ninja power," he shouted and threw several shurikens at the daimon.
PikoPiko swatted away the annoying bee in time to avoid the shurikens. "You all are starting to bug me."
"Hahahaha," Charmy laughed. "That's a good one! Get it? Bug me... and I'm a bee! Hahahaha!"
"I don't think she was joking, Charmy," Vector grumbled.
"You... take this!" the daimon shouted and pounded the floor with both mallet-gloves. Twin shock waves were flying towards the cheetah, crocodile and dolphin. They quickly dodged. "This is how it's done," Sailor Uranus shouted. "World Shaking!"
PikoPiko groaned as the attack threw her off her feet.
"And now to finish them," Vector smiled and scooped Uranus off the ground."
"Wha... hey, lemme go! What's the big idea?"
The big crocodile smiled. He curled up the protesting Cheetah into a ball and carefully put her between his mighty jaws.
'Is he going to eat her?' Amy wondered.
But then, the leader of the Chaotix detective agency spit out the cheetah-ball at high speed, while aiming for the daimon.
BANG! The living projectile of Uranus hit the target. The daimon screamed and turned back into Amy's Piko Piko hammer.
Uranus stood up and almost swooned. "Oooh, my head..."
Neptune sweat-dropped. "Is that how you always attack?" she asked Vector. He grinned. "Sometimes, yeah... Espio doesn't like it, but Charmy is always enthusiastic about it."
Amy carefully walked up to her mallet. "Is it... safe to pick up?" she asked. Neptune nodded. "Sure, the daimon egg has been forced out of it. You can take it."
Amy nodded and took her mallet back. "Um, who are you guys?"
"I'm Sailor Neptune," the dolphin girl said. "Aaaand I'm Sailor Uranus," the cheetah said dizzily.
The three guys made a group pose. "Team Chaotix, the hardest-working detectives in town!"
Espio walked towards Neptune and grabbed her hand.
"W-what are you doing?" she muttered while the ninja pulled her to the pink hedgehog.
He smiled and put her hand on Amy's chest.
"Wha...?" Amy asked in alarm, but Espio calmed her down. "It's okay! We just want to test something." He looked into Neptune's face. "Well?"
The dolphin sighed. "I guess you're right... I can feel her heart from here. We're so stupid... If we just tried this before..."
"And?" Uranus asked. "Does she have a talisman inside?" Neptune shook her head.
Espio smiled. "There. All settled. You really should start thinking of alternative ways of reaching your goal some more, you know?"
Neptune looked at him sadly. "But when we find the talismans, we somehow HAVE to get them out of the hearts."
Espio sighed. "I know, I know... But until that time, use this method instead of your previous one. And perhaps the two of you think of another way, when you have learned to use your powers better. Perhaps talking to those other Senshi would be a good idea?"
Neptune nodded. "Yes, I think you're right."
Amy blinked. "Um, excuse me, but... I really don't know what you are all talking about."
Charmy Bee shrugged. "You're not the only one. Vector tried to explain it to me, but somehow, it all sounded pretty weird."
Vector grinned. "I think it's best we retreat for now!" Espio nodded. "Roger that." And they ran away, together with the two Senshi.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Charmy did a little loop and buzzed after his friends.
Amy just stood there, hold her mallet and tried to figure out just what was going on.
