Spelling corrections have been amended as part of this announcement update.

Dark side of a hero

A call from beyond time and space

"We did it." Sonic said floating next to Blaze as Eggman and Eggman Nega were cast into the void.

"Yeah we did." Blaze said looking at Sonic.

He floated next to her his fur golden and his eyes a deep orange. He looked as Eggman was removed from his eyes yet a smile nor and gesture of victory was shown on his face. If anything Blaze felt that he was saddened by these events.

"What's wrong Sonic I thought you would be happy to have finally have defeat Dr. Eggman?" She said folding her arms as the flames that surrounded her rotated clockwise.

"I can't believe he's finally gone. I've been fighting him my entire life to see him gone feels strange." Sonic said and looked at Blaze. His eyes had sharpened from the effects of being in his super form yet to Blaze he was the same as always. Cheerful, friendly, and impatient things she liked in Sonic a lot.

"So I guess we have to go back to our worlds now." Blaze said.

"Yeah." Sonic said.

Before Blaze could think of someway to say goodbye Sonic kissed her wrapping his arms around her making her blush and the flames around her flare up.

"Sonic what are you doing?" She said and pushed him away.

"I couldn't think of a way to say goodbye Blaze. So I had to show you how I felt about our friendship and how I feel about you." Sonic said and gave her a thumbs up as the dimension they were in started to collapse and he was drawn back to his own.

"Sonic wait!" Blaze said trying to fly toward him.

Sonic released the Chaos emeralds and they flew off into the portal to be hidden around the world once again. He's fur turned blue and his eyes green again. The eyes that Blaze fell in love with.

"Catch you later Blaze." Sonic said winking at her and was engulfed in the light.

Blaze was thrust back to her side and was above her castle.

"Sonic." She thought and flew to the castle. Her people had gathered at the castle and she landed in a clear spot in the middle of the courtyard.

"Princess you have returned!" Said the advisor.

"Yes Eggman Nega has been defeated and the Sol emeralds are safe." Blaze said releasing her super form and the Sol emeralds were released and returned to their turrets that surrounded the castle.

"People our kingdom is safe once again thanks to our princess!" The advisor said holding Blaze's hand up and the ground gasped as it was burned badly.

"Oh no not again." Blaze thought remembering the last time this had happened.

"It's alright I should have been more careful but this is a happy day and I shall bare this wound proudly." The advisor said thrusting his burned arm into the air and the people cheered.

"Yes a proud day all thanks to Sonic." Blaze thought looking to the sky.

"Sonic you did it!" Tails said running up to Sonic when he arrived at his workshop.

"Hey Tails." Sonic said and plopped in chair inside the lab.

"What's wrong?" Cream asked sitting next to him.

"I'm just tired Cream that's all." Sonic said patting the rabbit on the head. (He was covered in dried blood and bruises from his battle with the eggmen. He may be unstoppable in his super form but he can still be hurt when it ends. The wounds were not serious but the blood needed to be washed off.)

"I'm going to take a shower Tails." Sonic said after resting a few minutes and dashed outside.

"What kind of shower can Sonic have outside?" Cream asked as Cheese floated behind her flying in figure eights.

"The waterfall that runs nearby is fairly warm. Sonic loves to take showers there. I like a little privacy and heat myself." Tails said getting to work on his latest invention.

"Should I go Tails?" Cream asked.

"No you can stay Cream in fact will you hand me that wrench over there?" Tails asked.

"Sure." Cream said handing it to Tails.

Sonic took his gloves and shoes off and waded into the water. It was fairly cold yet Sonic liked the chill it sent through his body. It gave him a rush kind of like when he was running at max speed. He moved under the waterfall and closed his eyes. Images of his adventure fighting against Eggman Nega and then teaming up with Blaze to defeat his greatest enemy once and for all. Yet his thoughts keep drifting back to Blaze.

"I miss her so much already." Sonic thought and left the rushing water. As he headed back to the shore he tripped over something in the water and fell into it. He opened his eyes under the water and saw the aqua chaos emerald and a black one. Sonic blinked his eyes and grabbed both of them at the same time. He felt an icy chill run up his left arm and a burning sensation run up his right arm. He gasped under the water and breached the surface. He saw his reflection in the water and screamed loudly his voice echoing through out the mystic ruins.

Blaze sat in her room and was deep in her thoughts as her attendant a blue rabbit wearing an apron and a green hood treated her wounds wearing special gloves that prevented her from being burned by Blaze's fur. (Sonic's super form prevented him from being burned by her flames.)

"It's good to have you back princess." The rabbit said finishing the last of the wrapping.

"Thank you Milly." Blaze said and smiled at her.

"Princess did you just smile at me?" Milly asked.

"Yes I did why?" Blaze asked.

"I have never seen you smile before it is an honor." Milly said and left the room.

Blaze was left alone which was just what she wanted after a big battle like that. It took the advisor and the entire royal guard to push the people back and close the castle doors. The people had so many questions about Sonic's world but Blaze was exhausted. The fight was harder on her then Sonic despite her daily training. She changed into a night gown and laid on her bed. A tear form in her eye that turned to steam almost instantly.

"Sonic." She thought and rolled onto her side. She wrapped her tail around her waist and started to cry.

"Why am I crying? I shouldn't miss him this much." She thought and started to cry loudly releasing steam into her room that clouded her windows.

Milly was about to knock on her door when she heard Blaze crying.

"Oh dear she is more tired then I thought. I had better just let her sleep and she will be fine in the morning." Milly thought and left to sew Blaze a new combat outfit for her old one was thrashed.
