Hey guys! Yes, I know, I've been off my game lately, but I'll return to that story when I feel inspired again. For now, here's a story involving two different characters from a video game series that I do not find very entertaining: *Cough* Skylosers *Cough*

Lol JK

But, I just like this one Phoenix/Dragon mix in particular, and his apparent 'mate' as many fanfic sites say (yes, believe it or not, there are other sites where you can find fanfics).

They are: Sunburn and Sonic Boom! Look up a pic of Sunburn, cuz he really is rather cool looking :P

Btw, this has nothing to do with the the legit Skyl- *Gags* Sky-Sky... Story.

Okay, I could go on forever, but you probably really want me to get on with it, so here you go!

"Has he woken up yet?" Three sqealy voices said in unison.

"Hey, I told you guys you have a job to do, I'll tell you when he wakes. Now go keep a lookout and tell me if anyone comes."

"Yes mom..." The three voices said in unison, less happy-sounding.

I had woken up a good five minutes ago, but in instinct I left my eyes closed so I could decipher whether my unexpected company was with or against me. I have done this so often that I can kind-of already somewhat know what's around me or where I was just by sounds. The beings near me were a mom and three kids. I smelled burning, and felt a rough, rocky surface below me. I must be near a volcano. Now, I don't remember what happened, but I'm pretty sure I can make a good guess.

Now, before I open my eyes, I need to tell you my backstory. Okay, I don't HAVE to, but I want to. Just listen to me. It won't take long.

So, I was born in a volcano, which, as you may have guessed because of that one fact alone, I'm fire-proof. Well, you can say that's kind-of half true. If I was fire-proof, I would be dead, because I am fire itself. Now, water, that's a different story. That stuff could put me in a freaking coma. I am made of fire, my heart is fire... you probably get the point. Though, I have taken the form of a phoenix-dragon mix, and I have to say, I like it. It's cool being able to fly around and stuff.

Anyways, being practically made of fire has given me powers that could, well, destroy the world. Luckily, I'm very low tempered, so I can keep control of these powers. But, other, rather evil beings have been trying to take these powers from me or control me since the day I was born. I just didn't know it until I was nine.

I had been living between two volcanoes at the time. My mom had been taking care of me all my life. I always assumed I looked something like her - but I didn't. I guess you could say I'm shaped like her, but I'm orange and my feathers are covered in flames. I could have never have seen life in any other way. That is, until the day my mother returned from her daily trip, but this time she was bloody and bruised. "Sunny..." she called me by my nickname, which she would only do while trying to comfort me. "Sunny... get away from here... as fast and far away as you can... it's not safe here..."

I was more confused then I had ever been before. "What... what do you mean?"

"Listen... I've been keeping a secret from you your entire life, because I wanted you to live your life in comfort. But now, you have to know the secret for your safety. So, I don't have much time to tell you, so try to understand it as best you can. You have special powers, powers nobody has ever seen before. You may not be able to use them now, but they will develop later on. But, the thing is, these powers can be used to heal, as well as destroy, if put into the wrong hands. Many horrible beings have been tracking you down, and want to use your powers for evil. I have been protecting you from that. But I'm beginning to grow old, and today they outfought me. If you want to stay alive, you need to run, as far away from here as possible."

"But mom..."

"I love you. Now go!" I looked at her one last time, to soak it all in, then turned and ran.

I spent the next five years of my life fighting and running constantly, getting stronger.

And that pretty much leads up to now.

I slowly cracked my eyes open to find everything around me blurry and spinning. I blinked a few times until it was clear, and saw a pair of eyes looking down. Startled that the face was so close to mine, I immidiatly screeched and leapt back, in a defensive position. But then I remembered what I had learned about her, and dropped the position. My head was pounding, but after five years of fighting, I learned to never look weak to anyone, be ready to defend at any time, but also that it was okay to not look aggressive when you don't need to.

She seemed to be a bird, like me, except she wasn't made of fire and her feathers were black and white on the tips of her wings. She didn't appear to be a phoenix, either, but one could only hope.

"It's okay, it's okay. You're lucky we got here when we did. They could have killed you."

Her voice was somewhat soothing, and I knew exactly what 'they' were. "We found you uncouncious and the things were looming over you. As soon as they saw us, they attacked. We managed to make them flee, and I had those three keep lookout while I tended to you."

"Wow..." I said. "Thanks."

"Aw, it was nothing. Not doing it would make me a bad soul." I didn't really know what that meant, and didn't know how to answer it. I think she sensed I was confused, because next she said, "So who are you?"

She smiled and looked into my eyes. I was struck by a feeling I had never experienced before. I felt all... tingly inside and I could barely speak.

"I-I'm... I'm..."

"You can't even remember your name? That blow to the head must've been harder than I thought."

"No, I'm fine, just thinking of some stuff."

"What about?"

I nervously said, "I don't have to tell you that."

"Okay, jeez. So, what's your name?"

"S...Sunburn."

"Cool name. I'm Sonic Boom."

I was about to say something, when suddenly I hear a sqeaky voice in the distance.

"Mommy, is he awake yet?" Sonic Boom sighed and said, "Yes, you can come over here now." And with that, three little birds came over, trampling over each other as they ran to greet me. It was quite entertaining, actually. Once they got there, Sonic Boom turned to me.

"These three are Flight, Angel, and Speedy." She pointed to each one in that order.

"I don't know how I'm gonna get their names right each time; they look the same!"

Sonic Boom leaned in and whispered in my ear, "It's okay, I sometimes mess them up myself."

She then looked down at the three tiny birds. "His name is Sunburn. Say hi!"

"Hi, Sunburn!" The three said in unison.

We all talked for about an hour, and towards the end of our conversation, I yawned, causing Sonic Boom to say, "You look tired, I have a shelter. You should rest."

I yawned again and said, "I... can't... I mean I can... but... I... just... okay."
