Sonic saw Shadow with a female bat-gargoyle holding a broken half heart-wing jewel, "S'il vous plaît! Je veux dire pas de problème!" The bat gargoyle begged.

"Speak English you intruder!" Knuckles yelled.

"Knux! Calm down" Sonic said, "Do you speak English?"

"Yes, sorry. I have a French accent. Forgive me" The bat gargoyle said with her French accent, "I had to fly all the way here to get away from vampires stealing this" She held out the red broken-half heart-wing jewel.

"Is that....a vampire heart jewel?" Knuckles gasped, "An ancient jewel that leads to the future vampire king or queen"

"Impossible. How did you find it?" Sonic asked.

"In a bat cave of Transylvania" The bat gargoyle said.

"And who are you?" Sonic asked the gargoyle.

"Most gargoyles call me Red but in France I'm known as Rouge" The gargoyle said.

"Rouge, huh? Well I suppose you could stay here as punishment for breaking in" Sonic said.

"I did not break in on purpose, vampire! I was trying to find a place to hide from the normal world" Rouge glared.

"Okay, fine. Give it to me then. It will be safe here" Sonic held out his hand for the ancient jewel.

"Hmm.....aren't you a sweet gentleman. I hope you keep your word, handsome" Rouge said and hands him the heart jewel.

"Ahem. Knuckles, show her to her room" Sonic said.

"Gladly" Knuckles said and gave a glare to the bat.

"What? Jealous little mummy? I hit your sensitive spot" Rouge chuckled.

"My bare knuckles will crack your body stone like a rock" Knuckles glared.

"Whatever" Rouge said and flew next to him.

Sonic looked at the half-heart winged jewel, "Why does this seem familiar?" He takes a closer look and then decides to go to the library in the castle.

"Sonic? What's going on?" Amy said.

"A female gargoyle bat has taken an ancient vampire heart gem" Sonic said.

"A gem?" Amy asked.

"A half heart winged jewel. The size of my palm" Sonic showed it to her.

"Whoa, maybe Tails should study it to know if it has any answers" Amy suggested.

"Good idea. I'll go to him if he knows" Sonic said.

-

At a lab, a young Frankenstein fox with two tails was doing some chemistry experiment, "There, just one more step to make it right" He poured a blue liquid into a vial of pink chemical. When he did a puff of smoke came from the vial and he poured a green vial into it.

"Sorry to disturb you Tails but I need your help with something" Sonic walks into the lab with Amy.

"Ah, Sonic. No, I was just finishing a potion. Hi Amy" Tails said.

"Hey Tails" Amy waved.

"Can you tell us about this gem?" Sonic showed the half-heart winged gem.

"Whoa, this looks very old. This might take a while to get samples and stuff. Where did you find this?" Tails asked.

"From a French gargoyle bat named Rouge. She wanted to keep it safe" Sonic said.

"Safe from humans, right?" Amy guessed.

"Yeah. But this thing looks familiar. Like I've seen this somewhere when I was in Transylvania" Sonic said.

"You think you saw it on the one who killed your parents?" Amy wondered.

"No. When I became a vampire I was raised by royal vampires. They never had a vampire king or queen. Wait, it's coming back to me! This is the Vampire Heart. Knuckles said it leads to the future vampire king or queen. The heart glows when it chooses the right king or queen" Sonic said, looking at the piece of the gem heart.

"But it doesn't glow" Amy said.

"It's broken. If it's put together it will" Sonic said.

"Do you know where the other half is?" Amy asked.

"No, what I remember is someone wanted to steal the heart so he could rule both the vampire and the normal world. I don't know who he is but I think he's probably dead. The vampires broke it in half so no vampire will ever use this heart to take the throne" Sonic said.

"So....it could be anyone that would be the future king or queen?" Amy said.

"Maybe but they never found a king or queen. And the other half is missing for nearly a century" Sonic said.

"What if you were the future king? You might help your vampire kind" Amy said.

"If I were a king I need to be a prince to have my coronation to become king" Sonic smirked.

"Would you prefer the gold crown or the diamond crown?" Amy said.

"Gold I guess" Sonic shrugs.

"Eh, sometimes I go with diamonds because it goes with everything" Amy said.

"Sonic, you should come see this" Tails said.

Sonic and Amy gets to Tails to see what he found, "What did you find?" Sonic asked.

"The heart is very old and it's lost its royal blood from vampires. Like a blood bag to do blood transfusion at the hospital. The gem heart is drained and it won't lead to the future king or queen without blood" Tails said.

"Of course, royal blood of the ancestors" Sonic said.

"Are the vampire ancestors still living?" Amy asked.

"Some of them but ever since that intruder who tried to steal the heart, he killed most of the royal vampires" Sonic said.

"Looks like you have to travel back to Transylvania" Tails suggested.

"What? No way! I can't leave Amy by herself" Sonic said.

"Then let me come with you" Amy said.

"No way! Nuh uh! I can't let any vampire hurt you! Oh, no! Please not the face again" Sonic sees Amy doing her cute puppy eyes, "No, no, no! Don't even think about trying to change my mind" Sonic tries to resist but cannot help how innocent she is, "Damn it! Why do you have to be so cute and innocent?!" He gave up.

"You always fall for it" Amy said.

"Yeah right" Sonic said.

"Anyways, I'm still coming with you" Amy said.

"Your mother is gonna kill my ass if she finds out you're coming to Transylvania with me" Sonic said.

"What about all of us? My mom can stay while Silver, Tails, Shadow, Knuckles, and the bat travels with us" Amy said.

"Alright fine. But don't try anything funny" Sonic said.

"I won't because I'm not a vampire" Amy said.

"Then let's get packed" Tails said and took out his backpack.

"I'll get the others ready" Sonic said.

"You know you're gonna need me if Shadow attacks you. And please, don't hypnotize him again" Amy said.

"I won't" Sonic said and he lifted Amy in bridal style and flew outside.

"Why haven't you flown without your bat form?" Amy asked.

"Because I was saving this for you" Sonic smirked.

"Very sweet of you; now let's find Shadow in the woods since it's dark and you can see at night but I can't" Amy said.

They flew into the woods to search for their werehog friend, "I can't see" Amy holding Sonic's hand so she won't get lost.

"Keep close to me, Ames" Sonic said, in his vision everything was thermal.

"What do you see? Please don't let it be a regular wolf or a bear" Amy said.

"I see an owl" Sonic saw one sitting inside a tree hole, "This is gonna take forever to find him. Ames, you should try howling. It won't attract wolves but it will get Shadow's attention"

"Okay. AAAARRRRROOOOOOO!!!!!" Amy howled out loud.

Soon enough they heard someone coming at them, "Here he comes" Sonic said.

"What the bloody hell do you want now?!" A grumpy werehog walks in with an angry growl.

"Shadow the Werehog! Don't be so rude" Amy said.

"Fine. What is it?" Shadow asked again.

"A new mission for us all" Sonic said.

"In Transylvania" Amy added.

"Is it the gem that the gargoyle had earlier?" Shadow asked.

"Yes, the other half" Sonic said.

"And we want you to come along. It would be like having a scary vacation" Amy chuckled nervously.

"No, I'm not going" Shadow refused to come along.

"Pretty please. For me" Amy used her innocent puppy eyes.

"Oh, no. Your main weakness, Shadow" Sonic chuckled.

"No, it won't work this time!" Shadow turns away but Amy still keeps doing it until Shadow gave up, "Why do you do this to me?!"

"Because you fall for it" Amy smirks.

"Hehe.....she's always innocent every time, Shads. But still, she might need extra protection at Transylvania" Sonic said.

"You bet" Amy hugged Sonic.

Shadow felt a little grumpy that he didn't get a hug. But Amy did give him a hug anyway, "Aww.....did you miss my hugs?" Amy teased.

"Just needed one for now" Shadow said.
