Act 1:
It's a beachside sunny day, the seawater crisp and blue, clear skies and a gentle wind. Such peaceful weather could not be any more picture perfect. Especially for a certain blue hedgehog. Sonic was enjoying the sun, sitting in his beach chair with shades over his eyes. Tails was with him relaxing as well, messing with the sand.
"Hey Sonic," spoke up Tails, "It's getting about that time of day, want some chili dogs?"
"You bet buddy, I was just about to ask myself." Sonic replied, pulling off his shades.
Tails gets up off the ground, "I got it, be right back."
Sonic hops up from his chair, stretching out followed by a sigh of relief. "That was great, such a perfect day to take a break from things." Sonic then zips around, making a large version out of himself out of the sand, clapping his hands together to get the sand out of his gloves, "Glad that Egghead decided to take a break today too, this is just too good to pass up. But all things considered I should settle down like this more often, it'll do me some good." Sonic runs over to Tails, at the stand he's waiting at, "Hey bud, get us a couple of Chocolate Chip Sundae Supremes, i'll pay ya back later. This is totally an ice cream day."
"Sure thing Sonic, I like the idea myself." Tails replies.
"Thanks man," Sonic then runs back to the little set up, "can't wait for some of that." Sonic then notices something off within the wall of trees further inland, he decides to check it out. He doesn't have to go far though, a few yards in a find something extraordinary. A white, glowing, astral, crack in the very ground itself, a tree slightly listing into what sees the bottomless void the seem opens into. Sonic walked up to the edge, looking into the gaping hole, pondering what it was. Suddenly, some more of the earth eroded away into the void, Sonic's footing slipped and he fell inside, the tree loses its ground and falls in as well in it's entirety.
Tails returns to their spot on the beach, items in hand only to find Sonic not there. "Where did Sonic go? He never disappears if he knows there's gonna be food."
It's an absolutely horrid day, storming non stop. Lighting, rain, typhoons over the seas, the works. Everyone is inside, trying to ignore gloom of the environment. Blaze is taking this as an opportunity for relaxation. Due to the weather the subjects do not come to the keep, and the princess uses this time to catch up on needed alone time, as per normal. She heads to the personal access to the major vault. Heading down a spiral flight of stairs, holding a flame in her hand. She reaches the vault itself, retrieving a case, then she returns to her private quarters. Opening up the case reveals the Sol Emeralds in their entirety. She places them around herself, then sits on the floor, legs crossed, meditating, syphoning her connection to the emeralds. The emeralds rise up and float around her. She says to herself in a quiet voice. "The breath is the seven Sol. Sol is the flame enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that lights the Sol a blaze." Unfortunately, her meditation is interrupted. The ground opens up beneath her without her knowing. Before she could react, the crack to the void swallows her into the abyss, and with her, the Sol emeralds follow. She screams, but is not heard. No one knows what happened to her, in fact, no one knows anything happened in the first place.
Act 2:
"Whoooah!" Sonic goes shouting, falling down until he finally faceplants on a patch of grass, seemingly alien to the white abyss. Except, upon getting up and looking around, the white abyss is much more. There is a pink and yellow hue in the sky, pulsating and reconstituting. All attributed that ring familiar to the blue hedgehog. Then the sudden realization. CRASH! Sonic jumped out of the way of the tree that fell in after him. On the surface of, wherever he was. There was only patches of green ground. Some small, some larger. Trees sprouting out of random places, not necessarily on the grass. None of it was reminiscent of what the skies above reminded him of. But none the less, what was up there was irrefutable. "This has got to be the void between dimensions, the same one I was in when Blaze and I fought the Egghead duo for the first time." Sonic then noticed, a crack in the sky, and out it was Mobius, and the star-lit void of space. "What in the world is going on here…?" Sonic then noticed strange surges of energy coming from the distances, a great light coming from it. "I better go check it out." he says to himself, running off to investigate. Upon reaching what he saw, coming to a stop. The surging energy seemed to create a wall that went infinitely in all directions. Despite that, Sonic ran at it, only to be bounced right back into a tree. Then he tries going up, he runs up the trunk of that very tree. But he only hits the field again. Then, seeing down along the contour of the field, a series of beacons in the distance. "Hmm, maybe those things have something to do with this. There might be something on the other side that's important to all of this." Sonic then runs off to investigate.
Despite her not knowing how this came upon her, it all being complete surprise. Blaze lands on her feet, and wastes no time trying to assess her situation. "Whatever sick game this is to capture me or the Sol Emeralds this is, I want succumb to it. I have the emeralds with me so I can simply return to my castle and inform the guard of my misfortune." Blaze picks up one of the emeralds from the ground around her but then realizes something is wrong. "Wait, this isn't right… I feel no power. Why? Why are the Sol Emeralds inert here?" She looks around, "I must find the cause of this. If I don't, I may be trapped here way longer than I fancy." She then runs onward in search of what she did not know, only knew what if she found it. Eventually she ran into an energy field, fluctuating violently. It appear as if the world on the other side were distorted. All she knew is she could not pass through. Taking in everything she could to try and get bearings on where to go next, she noticed a blue streak go past on the other side of the field, too fast for her to catch what it was. Nonetheless she noticed where it was headed, and quickly followed suit. "Whether or not that was could help me is not important right now. What's important is it's going somewhere that may be of importance, and that is all I require. I shall free myself from the mess in no time at all."
