This story started out on Sonicanime Forums, but I didn't get any feedback, so I'm posting it here. I love Silver and Blaze so much. They're a couple of my favorite characters in the series. So, I decided to write a fic about them.

Silver: Wow! Really? Yes! You don't know how much this means to me!!

Blaze: Silver... you're so very naive.

S: Aw, Blaze, you know you want me.

B: Um... you have no proof of that.

S: You kissed me the other day. Stop playing stupid.

B: You're dead meat. Never play with fire.

S: Yikes!

AXB: Um... yes... well... anyway... let's get started!

Future Shock

It's such a great day today. The Flickies are chirping, the sun's shining, and the water is sparkling. I could live like this forever! Just me and Blaze...

Silver thought to himself, sitting in a meadow and eating a hot dog. For some reason he felt as if he should savor how great the world was and appreciate what he already had. He felt drowsy, and his ears began to droop. As his eyelids started to slip over his golden orbs, a flash of purple danced in front of him, surrounded by a flare of bright orange flames.

"Ah... Blaze...? What's the matter?" he asked in a tired voice, followed by a yawn.

"Silver! He's stolen my Emeralds!" Blaze exclaimed urgently.

"What? Where is he? What does he want with them now?" he asked, snapping out of his tiredness and hopping to his feet.

"I don't know, but we need to get them back now!" Blaze answered, disappearing in a burst of fire as Silver followed, floating after her, glowing neon green.

Silver and Blaze reached Onyx Island, the future incarnation of Angel Island, where the Sol Emeralds were held. It had been where Blaze last saw the madman. He disappeared without a trace.

"It was only a while ago that he escaped. He couldn't have gotten far. I still sense the presence of the Sol Emeralds," Blaze said, searching the area.

Suddenly, an group of spider robots, the Venoom, swarmed the area and prepared to attack. Blaze charged forward and caused fiery stars to rain down on the purple creatures, destroying most of them. Silver used his telekinetic powers to crush the orange Egg Pawns that appeared behind him. They were caught by surprise when the all-too-familiar snicker of the evil scientist sounded.

"Heh heh heh... So, Blaze and Silver, you have come to retrieve your precious Sol Emeralds?" spoke the brilliant scientist.

He was round, shaped like an egg, with a pair of goggles, masking his eyes, and a shaggy mustache, colored like soot. He wore a black and yellow cloak that draped evenly over his form-fitting red jumpsuit, and had noodle-like arms and legs.

"Give back my Sol Emeralds, Eggman Nega!" Blaze shouted.

"I will, after I finish with them. I'm using your precious gems to complete an ingenious machine that will help me gain control of the world. Then, everyone will have to recognize my genius! I will finally be able to make up for the mistakes of my ancestor."

"Eggman Nega, if you don't return Blaze's Sol Emeralds, you will have to deal with me!" Silver yelled.

"Oh, I'm very sorry, really, but I can't do that. I'll be very glad to return them when I'm done, if you don't mind," Nega answered as politely as possible.

Silver lifted a large stone with his telekinesis and threw it at Eggman Nega, who was floating in his hovering vehicle. Just as the rock was about to smash into the vehicle, a burning orange force field formed around it, deflecting the rock back at Blaze. Silver rushed to her side, defensively putting his arm around her and using his powers to stop the stone and send it flying over the edge of a waterfall.

"Oh, dear... um... I apologize, that was quite rude of me. I should have explained first. You see, my machine is designed to harness the power of the Sol Emeralds and wield it. I'm currently in possession of a prototype, using only one Emerald. The power of a single Sol Emerald is in itself enough to destroy a small town. Imagine how unstoppable I shall be when I perfect my machine and implement all seven! And... I already have the Sol Emeralds. All I need to do... is finish the machine!"

Eggman Nega pulled out a small device, shaped like an arcade gun. The gun had a tube that ran down to a device connected to a Sol Emerald. Orange energy flowed through the tube and into the gun, and was fired out in the form of a fiery projectile when Eggman Nega pulled the trigger. Blaze, protecting Silver, put up her own fire shield, stopping the projectile.

"Heh heh heh... cool, huh? It's an extension of my prototype, using only one Sol Emerald. With all seven, not even Miss Priss' powers can stop my invention!"

"Who are you calling 'Miss Priss', Nega?" Blaze asked in a dangerous voice.

"I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have said that... well... anyway, once I complete my machine, your Sol Emeralds will be the power source, providing me with the power to rule the earth!"

Eggman Nega soared off in his mobile, heading for his base. Silver and Blaze would have to relocate and stop him before he completed his invention.
