Chapter 1 Mavok's Flawlessly Flawed Plan
Silver walked down the streets of a city he had been staying in the past few weeks. It had been six whole months since Mavok had promised him that he would help him find Blaze. Silver had hoped that Mavok would keep his word but he had expected this from Mavok.
"No doubt he probably got distracted by some girl, or maybe he thought I was too boring and decided to go off on some other adventure!" Silver said angrily as he kicked a tin can down the sidewalk.
Suddenly a tall, stout man emerged from the shadows of a nearby alley.
"Yes, that sounds like something he would do." The man said laughing.
Silver turned around in shock to see the man standing beside him wearing a long black trench coat, jeans, and black leather boots. He always wore a pair of sunglasses even though it was pitch black outside and a fedora. Silver immediately recognized him as Mavok since he seemed so awkward in his casual dress.
"Mavok, where have you been? It's been six months without so much as a word from you!" Silver yelled as he grabbed his arm.
"Shh! I am Vladimir Hans Lichtenstein from the U.S.S.R." Mavok said attempting to mimic a Russian accent.
"Mavok, the U.S.S.R. doesn't exist anymore!" Silver said annoyed.
"Oh, then I will have to come up with a different disguise." Mavok sighed disappointedly.
"Where have you been the past six months? I considered going back into Northank and getting you myself!" Silver asked frustrated.
"I had to come up with my disguise, Silver! It has been over two thousand years since I last walked on my home world. You can imagine that I had to do much extensive research in order to blend in with this new society. I also had to practice the new dialect modern people use today. What's shaking, Silver? Can you dig this scene?"
"None of that was necessary, Mavok. Can we go rescue Blaze now?" Silver asked impatiently.
"Ah! I believe the appropriate thing to say would be hold your horses, Silver. There is nothing to worry about! I came up with a backup disguise! I studied R.C systems and the skills required to maneuver large trucks so I can go undercover as a truck driver named Earl." Mavok whispered quietly.
Silver sighed deeply.
"Look, Mavok, can you just teleport us to Northank so we can focus on how we are going to rescue Blaze?" Silver asked as he smacked his forehead.
"Of course I could, but I want to learn all about this world you live in! I have heard rumors of a delicacy known as ice cream that my people are quite fond of now-a-days." Mavok said smiling.
"Listen Mavok, we don't have time for you to waste time on such foolish things! We have to go find Blaze as fast as possible!"
"Are people always so impatient in this century, or is it just Mobians in general?" Mavok said frowning.
"We aren't impatient! You're immortality just leads you to waste time without even a second thought of others!"
"You're absolutely right Silver! now let's go!" Mavok said excitedly.
Mavok waved his hand and a dimensional portal opened up and sucked him in. Mavok laughed and walked through the portal.
Silver and Mavok reappeared within the Black Tower of Northank than Zambrog had recently rebuilt. Now, the tower was new and spotless without a single impurity (unless you considered Mavok to be one).
"Well that was fun!" Mavok said proudly.
"That was a nightmare!" Silver said as he gripped his head to stop it from spinning.
"You'll get used to it Silver and I suppose the low air pressure of this high altitude isn't helping either." Mavok said as he patted him on the back.
Zambrog then entered the chamber they were standing in.
"Ah, brother it is good to see that you were able to... Mavok, what are you wearing?" Zambrog asked confused.
"This is the new style of the modern world, brother! I look most hip, as they would call it!" Mavok said as he took off his sunglasses.
"I knew this was a bad idea..." Zambrog murmured to himself.
"Now, we must discuss the plan to rescue your girlfriend, Silver, but first I am going to change back into my armor and it would be a good idea to arm yourself as well. Our journey could be quite perilous." Mavok said as he walked down the corridor toward his chamber.
"She's not my girlfriend and I don't need any equipment! I'm ready to go right now!" Silver yelled angrily.
Mavok ignored him and continued to walk toward his chamber. Zambrog walked over to Silver and patted him on the shoulder.
"I pity you Silver. My brother is quite stubborn at times, but he really is a very nice and caring person. I suppose you will simply have to get used to him, but I will pray for you both. Judging by my brothers plans you will need it." Zambrog said sadly.
Mavok then returned wearing his black steel plated armor. He had a large sword strapped to his back as well as four large bags slung over his shoulder.
"These are our provisions." Mavok said as he tossed Silver one of the bags.
Silver then caught the bag with his psychokinesis.
"Ah! Your powers will be very helpful in the future, I am sure!" Mavok said smiling.
"So, what's your plan to rescue Blaze, Mavok? You're brother doesn't seem to approve of it." Silver said frowning.
"Of course he doesn't approve of it! Zammy would never approve of anything I come up with!" Mavok said laughing.
"Only because your plan involves reckless stunts that could severely harm not only yourselves but there is a risk that your plan could even damage Northank itself and that could have drastic consequences beyond your imagination. So, if you believe that this is righteous then I suppose you would approve of it, but I do not and find the thought of it terrifying to say the least." Zambrog scolded.
"Is this true Mavok?" Silver asked inquisitively.
"Zammy is partially correct, but the chances of that happening are very small, almost non-existent. I suppose I will go ahead and tell you my plan, Silver. I have discovered three dimensions that I believe your girlfriend could be within. I have entered these dimensions and have spoken with the sentient species there. They all claim to have seen a Mobian roaming around their world. They are the only worlds apart from Mobius, Earth, and the Lost Region that have any record of your species. Of course, it is possible that she could be in the Lost Region, but if she had I would have known by now." Mavok explained.
"Awesome! This is going to be much easier than I thought, but what's the risk that you have been avoiding?" Silver asked frowning.
"Oh, it's nothing, Silver! There is only a very slim chance that the two, possibly three of us traveling between these dimensions in rapid succession could overload Northank's power source, that is, the Cornerstone of Northank, and cause a disruption within the space time continuum and therefore trigger a universal disaster that could cause the death of billions if not trillions. But that's all really." Mavok said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"That's all? Mavok I'm not sure if I want to go through with this..." Silver said sadly.
"Nonsense! The chances are very small, and you forget that at one time I could look into the future and not once did I ever encounter an even where Northank was destroyed or the universe for that matter." Mavok said nonchalantly.
"Yes, but Northank being destroyed is a worst-case scenario. Other damages could occur, minor ones yes, but damages nonetheless. These damages could severely alter the future and the destinies of others, perhaps even ourselves." Zambrog scolded him.
"Yes, but even that has a very small chance of occurring! And besides it's highly unlikely that the damages would be long-term. Most likely it would just cause very short disruptions that would not even harm anyone." Mavok said calmly.
"So be it, Mavok but I have a feeling that you are going to regret this." Zambrog said shaking his head.
Mavok walked over to Zambrog and clasped his shoulder.
"Farewell brother, and if the Lord is willing may we meet again soon." Mavok said smiling.
"Farewell my brother, and may God go with you. You both will be in my prayers, Mavok." Zambrog said happily.
Mavok nodded and began to walk down the staircase of the tower with Silver.
"What's the first dimension we'll be traveling to in order to find Blaze?" Silver asked excitedly.
"It is a realm known as Vrale, home to a human-like race who are primitive and concern themselves with many rituals and magical practices." Mavok explained.
"Well, that doesn't exactly sound like a dimension Blaze would have been transported to." Silver said frowning.
"I don't know about that, Silver. Judging by what the Vralearim told me it could very well be your girlfriend, but I suppose we will just have to find out." Mavok said patting Silver on the back.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Silver said smiling.
Mavok laughed and with a wave of his hand they had both vanished.

The first chapter of my new Silver and Blaze fan fiction which is also a sequel to Redemption of the Lost. I hope you enjoy it. I know I most certainly will simply because Mavok is a main character.
