If you don't want to get lost, read the first book: Dying Knight, otherwise feel free to get lost :) This is a sequel to Dying Knight and one of my
favorite Sonic fan fictions that I've done with my cousin. The characters: Lizzy, Coal, Icefire, Eggwonna, and Sylvia are made up characters created by
me and my friends. Review and constructive criticism would be appreciated. :)
Prologue
The dark figure stood on the outside of the Eggship, just above the entrance. The wind blew the cape back, causing it to glisten in the moonlight as the figure
cast one look over her shoulder, to see if anyone was following. Once she was satisfied to see no one, the figure jumped and glided down to the hole. Once
inside, she saw long jagged marks on the sides that proved something had happened in the past. And that something was the whole reason she was here.
The whole reason she wanted revenge. Hatred sparked in her eye as the memories flooded into her mind. They would pay for what they had done.
"I see you made it." A voice came from the far side.
Turning, the figure saw a fat, egg-shaped man, and a short, stout girl who stood next to him.
"Indeed." She pulled back her hood, revealing a mask that covered the top half of her face, the back going off into two sharp, familiar points. Her one scarlet
eye flashed in the dully lit room as she stared at the man. "I keep my word, Eggman. Especially if it means I can get my revenge."
"I see you still hide behind that mask of yours." Eggman smirked.
"Do not mock me! It is not my choice to have to cover my once beautiful face." She hissed, and then went on in a much calmer tone, "but of course, as I said
before, I will only help you if I can get revenge for what I have lost."
"You will have your revenge soon enough, Sylvia," Eggman said, "but only if you help me—"
"—with world domination and destroying Sonic the Hedgehog once and for all." She finished for him.
A wide grin spread across his face. "Exactly," Then turning to Eggwonna, "Go buy some popcorn! It seems we will need some soon."
"Yes, sir!" She hurried away, excitement blazing in her eyes.
Chapter One
"Waffle?" Tails, who stood at the counter making them, offered to Shadow. The others—Lizzy, Coal, Icefire, Amy, and Silver—were already seated at the table
and digging into their food.
He glared.
"Um… Pancake?" Tails tried again, a little less sure.
He glared even harder.
"How about French—" One look from Shadow, and Tails knew better. The black and red hedgehog looked about ready to pull out a gun, as it was his favorite
weapon.
"Don't get him started, Tails," Coal called from where she sat beside Lizzy, "Sonic already got beat up once for trying to offer those to him."
"Okay, fine. You want to go hungry." Tails slowly turned away, afraid Shadow might jump on him, "Alright with me."
Shadow only grunted, arms crossed, even though his scowl was gone.
"Where's Sonic?" Amy asked after they had all finished eating and cleared away the dishes.
"Out on a run," Tails answered, now sitting on the sofa next to Lizzy. "Knowing him, he's probably beating up one of Eggman's 'creations'."
"Yes," Amy said dreamily, "he's good at that."
"Hey, Silver!" Icefire bounced up and down. "I have the whole day planned! We're going to go on a picnic, and—"
She was cut off by a sudden bright light that lit up in the middle of the room. Shielding their eyes, they tried to see what was happening. A figure formed inside
of it, and as the light faded they saw it was a purple cat that had appeared just like Silver had when Shadow and Tails first met him. Blinking, the cat's gaze
swept across them one by one until she came to Silver.
"Oh, good," She sighed with relief, "I found you."
"Blaze?" Silver was shocked to see her here in the past.
"Um, you know her?" Icefire asked, suspicion creeping along her spine.
"She's, uh… a friend…" Silver said, a little unsure of what to say.
Icefire pouted. Sure she is.
"I need your help, Silver." Blaze said, ignoring Icefire and the others.
"You… need my help?"
Blaze nodded. "In the future."
"No duh." Shadow muttered.
Silver casted a glaring glance at Shadow, and then returned to Blaze. "Why do you need me?"
"The fire beast Calcifer has returned—" That caught Silver's attention. "—he's terrorizing my kingdom. I need you to help me remove him."
"I thought that beast was destroyed a millennia ago!" Silver exclaimed.
"Well, apparently, he wasn't." She rolled her eyes.
"No duh." Shadow muttered again, which caused yet another glare from Silver and a mouthing of the words, shut up.
Blaze ignored Shadow's rude remark, "Will you help me or not?"
Silver hesitated, casting a glance at Icefire, and then said, "I dunno…"
"…You don't know?" Blaze was not expecting that.
"Yeah, I dunno..." Silver scratched his head.
Sonic came through the door at that moment, his metal arm creaking, and plopped down on another sofa in the room. Seeing Blaze, he asked, "Who's the
newbie?"
"I am Blaze the cat." She narrowed her eyes, immediately not liking the blue hedgehog.
"Blaze, huh?" He closed an eye. "Where ya from, Blaze?"
"The future."
"Future, eh? Silver over there is from then too." He flicked a thumb at Silver.
Grinding her teeth she said, "Yes, I know. I've met him before."
"Really? That's nice." He leaned back, put his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes.
"Isn't he amazing?" Amy asked Shadow distantly.
"No du—no." Shadow corrected himself and Coal laughed.
"So," Sonic started, his eyes still closed, "Whatcha doing here?"
"I need Silver's help." Blaze said, her voice getting dangerously low.
"Look, Blaze," Silver said, "I'd like to help you and all… but…"
She raised an eyebrow. "I will come back tomorrow. That's all the time I can spare."
Silver nodded once to acknowledge what she had said. "Alright."
"Good, and Silver, I do hope you will change your mind." Blaze said. She lifted her hand up; on her wrist was a big watch-like device. She twisted it once then
clicked a button, "I'll be back in one day's time, make sure you have an answer." With that she vanished in a brilliant white light.
After a moment of staring at where Blaze had been, Coal broke the silence. "That was… interesting."
"Yes it was." Icefire said, still pouting. "When did you meet her?"
"In the future." Shadow muttered.
Silver didn't seem to hear Icefire; his mind was still on what Blaze had said.
"Okay, fine," She whirled around and began to stalk out of the room. "Don't say anything."
Lizzy got up a few minutes after Icefire had stalked off and said, "I'll go see what her problem is." Before she had left the room, she called out to Tails, "Go
ahead and start on the T.T.'s blueprints, I'll be out in a moment."
"Okay!" He called after her. And not even two minutes had passed before he was gone too.
"So, are you going to help her?" Shadow asked Silver after Tails had left.
Silver shrugged and looked over his shoulder. "I don't know. I really don't know."
