Amy's training continued steadily as time went by. Her Chaos potential grew to the point of being usable, her psychic powers got stronger and stronger and her physique became, for lack of a better term, womanly. Shadow found himself staring at her longer than necessary, which troubled him greatly. To make things worse for him, his own training had come to a standstill. At first, his natural speed had grown without the use of his Air Shoes, but now it seemed that, just like when skating, he couldn't quite reach Sonic's limit of 760 miles per hour, even when boosting.

'Damn it,' he thought to himself one day, 'She's getting stronger and stronger, that much is clear. If we were to spar again, she might just beat me. Maybe I need to push myself more, too.' Amy herself was discreetly listening to Shadow's thoughts during her exercises. 'Hmm. Guess he's feeling intimidated by my progress. But what am I supposed to do about it? It's not like I can stop progressing. I'm not about to hold myself back to soothe his damn ego.'
Shadow made his decision and cleared his throat to get Amy's attention. "All right, Amy, that's enough warming up. You've been making rapid progress lately, so I think it's time to do something different." Amy stood up slowly with her back to him. "Another all-out sparring match?" Shadow nodded. "Yes. For this match, you will use your Chaos Emerald."
"Huh?" Amy said, puzzled. "You have been doing plenty of exercises to get yourself in tune with its energy," Shadow clarified. "Now I want to see how well you can use its energy in battle." Amy kept silent, waiting for Shadow to finish. "I will be using my abilities to their fullest extent, so be prepared. If you don't come at me with the intent to kill, you will not succeed. Got it?" Amy answered, with a blush on her face, "Very well, then. Let's go." Shadow thought, 'Hm. She doesn't seem as eager this time. She's up to something.' Amy got into stance as she muttered, "Oh, I'm up to something all right, Shadow..."

The two stared each other down. In the distance, an crow cried out. Shadow immediately fired a barrage of Chaos Spears at Amy, who barely managed to dodge them. While she was distracted, Shadow warped behind her and kicked her in the back, knocking her to the ground. He quickly followed that up with a sliding kick, which Amy evaded. Their fisticuffs lasted for a good while and cost both hedgehogs a sizable amount of Rings, with Shadow landing a few attacks that nearly broke Amy in two.
Amy herself landed some blows as well, though they were too weak to do bone-breaking damage to someone like Shadow. She soon created an opening and with no hesitation, she grabbed Shadow's left arm and swung him around, throwing him at a tree. Shadow quickly rebounded off of it, zeroing in on Amy with a Homing Attack. But, with a smirk, she kicked him into the air like a soccer ball. Surprised, but undeterred, Shadow, used the opportunity to launch another Chaos Spear barrage downward.
Amy was resolute. Lifting her Chaos Emerald over her head, she managed to block most of the shower. She then quickly grabbed a Spear, charged it, and launched it back at Shadow! "What the hell-!!" He tried to send another Chaos Spear, but was too slow. He was hit dead on, and was sent back down to Earth amidst a shower of Rings. Amy charged forward with Chaos Emerald in hand, preparing another attack. Frustrated, Shadow growled and twisted in the air, giving an angry shout...
"CHAOS BLAST!!!"
The Ultimate Lifeform's most destructive technique eliminated everything within that 10-yard radius. Amy was blown back and greatly damaged, slamming into a tree. She was not expecting that attack at all, and her remaining Rings were now gone. Shadow gave her no quarter and dashed towards her with a Chaos Lance! "It is time to end this!"
'Geez, he's really trying to hurt me!' thought Amy frantically, 'All right, no more playing around!' With an expression seething with rage, Shadow threw the Chaos Lance at her, forcing Amy to stand up quickly. With great concentration, she focused on the Lance. The energy-formed object suddenly stopped mere centimeters away from her face. It then turned around. With a small nod, she sent it right back. Shadow was dumbfounded as his Chaos Lance halted in front of his own face.
Amy walked up to Shadow, hips swaying. The Chaos Emerald she held in her right hand flashed and the Lance changed color from yellow to light green. It then split into three copies, all aimed for Shadow's head from different angles. Amy moved a Spear aside and stood directly in front of Shadow, breathing heavily. "It's over, Shadow," Amy said in a low tone, shivering from the pleasure of the fight, "Surrender."
The hedgehog in front of her was still shocked and could not comprehend what had transpired. So, Amy read his thoughts. He wanted to know that the hell just happened. Amy stepped closer to his face, her chest heaving with each breath. "I'm using Psycho Kinesis. I learned how to a week ago. I'm still not that good at using Chaos Energy, though, so keeping this up is taking a lot out of me." That explanation made sense, considering her growth. As understanding set in, Shadow's expression went from shock to misery. "Why do you not finish me, then?"
"Why should I?" Amy asked, her legs twitching. Shadow shut his eyes tight as he strained to answer. "I......lost." Amy licked her lips. "So?" Shadow replied bitterly, "So why don't you end it? Your opponent may rise again to claim his revenge." Amy's tone of voice became somewhat hushed, taking on a timber one would not be used to hearing from her. "Then let him. I will always be ready." Shadow scoffed, "That's a soft outlook." Amy glared softly. "I don't care. I'm not going to finish you, Shadow." He was silent at that.
"I will, however, take my prize," she boldly stated as she grabbed his vest. "One I've been wanting for a long time..."
Before Shadow could respond or react, Amy pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss. Shadow was caught off guard as one kiss followed another with equal or greater emotion, with Amy moaning and pressing against him all the while. He could feel how badly she wanted this...and he could not help but return the kiss with matched vigor.
As they kissed, the Chaos Spears dissipated in a bright flash around them, but that went unnoticed. The two continued kissing, stopping for air for a few vital seconds before resuming. Shadow pulled Amy toward him on the ground, as they explored each other's bodies thoroughly, doing whatever they could think of to make each other feel good. Amy ran her hands along his furred, toned chest and moaned. 'Oh, God...'
Shadow squeezed her rear and her breasts, stopping himself from making noise of his own. 'How the hell has she grown so...damn...much...?' They went on like this for 30 minutes, before Amy wanted more. She wanted to be closer. Her body was on fire and wanted Shadow to satisfy her, but she did not know how. All she knew is that she wanted him badly. She sat up on his lap and desperately threw off her shirt, but when she reached for her sweatpants, she was stopped by Shadow.

All she knew is that she wanted him badly. She sat up on his lap and desperately threw off her shirt, but when she reached for her sweatpants, she was stopped by Shadow.
"Don't."
"W-What?" said Amy in a daze. Whilst breathing heavily himself, Shadow elaborated, "We will go no farther than this." Understandably, Amy looked agitated. "B-B-But...I want to." Her eyes became half-lidded, and her tone of voice dropped an octave as she emphasized, "I...I need you, Shadow." Noticing something beneath her, she added, "And I know you need me." Shadow blushed at how perceptive she was, but stated firmly, "No buts. It's too soon. You're not even 15 yet." Amy looked irritated and puzzled, but her expression soon softened to touched understanding. "I never figured you to be the type to take things slow, Shadow."
"I assume you consider me the one to just take you right here and now?" he asked. Amy's awkward silence answered that question and Shadow looked disgusted as he said, "Believe it or not, I get that assumption far too often. Let me just say that I prefer to think of myself as a somewhat of a gentleman when needed. As such, I shall not be taking your flower this day, Miss Rose."
Amy sighed, and not just from the pun. His stance was respectable, and while she was still unsatisfied, she was glad he wasn't rejecting her. "All right. I'm willing to wait if you are, but what does this mean for...for us?" Shadow blinked. "What do you mean?" Amy blushed and said, "You know what I mean..." Shadow chuckled internally at Amy's visual regression from a heated young woman to a shy girl. As for her question, he did know what she meant, and his earlier bitterness returned. "I'm not ready for that, either."
Amy was about to ask why when she was cut off. "In case you've forgotten, I almost killed you earlier." Amy could not respond to that point. "I need to get stronger. I see now that I have been going too long under the arrogant assumption that my basic skills will always be enough to get the job done. I...I need to grow, as well. Besides, a weapon such as myself has no business being in a relationship with anyone." Amy looked upon her love with sadness. Shadow looked to the side and said, "Hmph. I must sound rather lame to you. After all, I'm supposed to be the one training you." Amy just embraced him.
"You are not lame, Shadow. And you are NOT a weapon. You're mortal and vulnerable, just like the rest of us. You just need to grasp that and learn from it. And for the record, you're a wonderful teacher."
"Hm. I bet Sonic would get a lot of mileage from this," said Shadow. Amy quickly replied, "Yes, but he's not here. It's just you and me. Two hedgehogs with a lot to learn about each other." Shadow sighed and nodded in agreement. "Now then," Amy said suggestively, "Where were we?" Shadow wryly answered, "I believe we were making out."
Amy asked hopefully, "Shall we continue?" Shadow looked uneasy, but said, "I see no reason why not. We can figure out the rest of our...relationship as we go. But there's something I've been meaning to ask you." Amy tilted her head to the side in curiosity. Shadow asked, "Do our sparring sessions turn you on or something?" Amy blushed. "......Yes." Shadow soon started grinning with masculine pride. "I knew it."
The two resumed kissing, even as the sun began to set. Shadow and Amy were unsure of what fate had in store for them as a couple, but they were willing to face it head on.
