A/N: Yay! 8D I'm finally getting my Blazrine Story up. I just had to wait for my beta (Yes, I actually got a beta for this story.) to finish spell checking this and stuff. But I finally got the first chapter back. This story is for my beta, Storm, cause she rocks. Now I just need to get to work writing out the second chapter. I must admit that Marine is a bit out of character in this, but that's due to her older age now. But I'll continue to work on her character a bit more while I'm working on this story. Technically, this is supposed to be part of a sequel to another story I wrote, but rather than taking my own character's point of view, I'm taking Marine and Blaze's point of views so there really isn't any need to read the original story. Besides, the story before this one sucks. I wrote it when I was like 15. So I would rather people just read this one separately from my other story, "The Love of One", which is on this website, but I wouldn't recommend reading because of my horrible formating in it. But if you already read it, then just consider this the sequel. Kind of. Technically, I never finished the last chapter of that story and I doubt I will because I'm lazy like that and busy with other stories at the moment, but there was really nothing of importance in that chapter. In fact, that story was just to introduce my character, Orange, who is in this story but not the main character. This story is a Blaze and Marine Romance story, so yes, it's yuri. If you don't like that, then don't read it. I have no idea how long it will be, but I'm thinking pretty long since my chapters aren't gonna get much longer than this first chapter. I think that's all I have to say about this story for now. And don't worry if it doesn't make sense at first. I always start my stories off like that and pull things together in later chapters. So I hope I'll pick up some readers with this story that enjoy it. And if you like this pairing of Blaze and Marine and have a deviantart account, then go join the Blazrine Club on deviantart. Do it! I command you! Lol. Just kidding. ; Talk to you all later. Bye! waves Disclaimer: I only own Jynx in this chapter so don't sue me.
The darkness was closing in on them, fire embers dying down in the cold, stormy night. Thunder crashed, and lighting lit the sky outside as the two occupants huddled together for warmth. They weren't sure when this storm would end. All they knew was that they had escaped the worst of it by taking cover in this cave. Now all they could do was wait. Wait for the storm to pass or at least calm some, whichever came first. Morning would come soon enough, and they'd be able to make their escape to higher ground. Until then, they were stuck, their only sources of heat being one blanket they were forced to share and each others' body warmth.
The fire had long since gone out, leaving very little light to see by. Wet clothes had been discarded onto the floor earlier in the night. Their naked bodies were now intertwined as they laid in complete silence. Their breaths had slowed, and the sound of rain hitting the ground now sounded so far away.
Thunder sounded again, causing one of the two occupants to jump slightly before shrinking back under the blankets to pull closer to the other's body. Arms of comfort slipped beneath the covers to hold the smaller of the two close. A whimper of fear sounded from the young female as she clung to her lover. "I'm scared."
The older female pulled her scared companion just that much closer, nuzzling a gentle kiss to the top of her head. "Don't be. Everything will be fine. I'll protect you." she tried to soothe the young girl the best she could.
"But what about the others! What's going to happen to them!" the girl erupted into tears for the second time that night.
"Shhh..." the other tried to calm her frightened friend, running a hand up and down her back. "I'm sure they're fine. It's just a storm. They must have all found shelter by now. And so long as the force field is up, nothing else can harm them. A little water never hurt anyone, so please don't cry." she said in a soft voice.
The clearly shaken girl sniffled once before wiping her eyes on the lavender cat's fur. "If you say so...I'll try to stay strong."
The older female smiled a little, though it was unseen in the unending darkness surrounding them. "Good girl. Now try to get some sleep. You'll need your rest for the upcoming days, and who knows when you'll next have the chance to get some real sleep."
She allowed the girl to pillow her weary head on her chest, the gentle sound of her beating heart lulling the young female into the proper sleep until only one of them remained awake. As soon as she sensed the other's changed breathing pattern, she was sure her companion had fallen asleep, leaving her to her own thoughts of how they had come to this point in time. It had all happened so quickly, she didn't even know when any of this had begun anymore. All she knew was that the one person she loved more than anybody else in all the universes had been hurt, and she would have her revenge, even if it killed her. It was hard to believe so much could happen in such a short amount of time, but it had, and she remembered every detail that had led up to this point in time.
It had started out like any other day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, and the breeze was very light. Perfect weather for a certain raccoon named Marine, who had plans of working more on her ship. It was almost ready. She just needed a few more parts.
Time seemed to fly far too quickly. It had already been 4 years, almost 5, since Sonic and Tails had traveled to her dimension. After a mishap with her first ship when she had forgotten to install the brakes, they had helped her repair it so she could achieve her dream of sailing around the world. And she had. When she had turned 15, she finally set out to make that dream a reality. After nearly two years of sailing, she had managed to do what many people thought would be impossible for her to accomplish. But she had proved them wrong and returned to her home on Southern Island only a few months earlier.
She had only started making modifications to her ship a few weeks ago, a new goal in mind. She wanted to cross over into Sonic's dimension so she could thank him and Tails again, and possibly even see if she could sail around their world once before returning home. The idea of exploring another world made her rather giddy, and she was determined to get there before her 17th birthday, which was approaching rather quickly. That fact just made her work that much harder on the ship.
She recalled the portal connecting their worlds was located right above the ocean. Sonic and Tails had only stumbled upon it during an unexpected storm that had blown them off course, but Marine had made sure to map the exact location for later use. Now it was just a matter of modifying her ship so it could not only sail but fly as well. She was so close, and yet every time she thought it was finally ready for flying, she'd find some flaw or missing part that she'd have to go into town for. That was the case for this particular day in time.
She had been walking down the shore, enjoying the gentle breeze, the sun warming her fur, and the waves shifting back and forth over her feet as they led her toward town at a lazy pace to pick up another part for her ship. She almost missed what looked to be a body much further down the shore as her blue eyes scanned the area. At first, she thought it was just a piece of drift wood that had washed up on shore, but upon further examination when she approached closer, she realized it was actually a body in the sand, unconscious with waves crashing over it.
She wasted no time in quickly running the rest of the way to the fallen body so she could pull it up out of the water. As soon as they were a safe enough distance from the water, she did her best to wake the unconscious form. "Hey! Hey! Are you alright?" she asked in a thick, Australian accent, while shaking what looked to be another raccoon, only this one male.
After a few minutes of trying to get some kind of response out of him, he finally opened his eyes halfway, letting them wander a bit before landing back on Marine. His eyes were a very deep shade of ruby red, and he looked nothing like Marine. His fur was an even shade of gray with some white fur on his chest. His ears had dark, black stripes along the sides of them, as did his tail. But something was different. His tail looked more like a fox tail than a raccoon tail. Besides that, there was no mistaking the fact that he was, in fact, a raccoon.
Marine backed up a little on her knees as he attempted to sit up better, rubbing his head. 'It...worked.' he thought to himself as he looked around at his surroundings.
Before he could do much more, his thoughts were interrupted by that Australian voice again. "Excuse me. You were passed out when I found you. Are you okay, mate?" Marine gave him a slightly concerned look. He seemed to be fine now, but she wanted to make absolutely sure.
The male looked back at her, thinking to himself again. 'But this girl...she can see me? She must have the eyes.' he thought as he peered into her eyes before finally speaking. "I'm fine. Thank you for your help, but I really must be on my way now." he said, standing up to walk away but nearly collapsing again.
Marine was back on her feet in a flash, catching him before he fell again. "Now wait just a minute! You can hardly stand let alone walk. Can you at least tell me what happened to you or your name even?"
The male cursed to himself in his mind for being so weak. 'Damn. My strength is at minimum level.' Not wanting to appear as weak as he felt at that moment, he pulled away from her and willed himself to stand straight. No weakling such as her was going to help him. "I said I'm fine. It's really none of your business, but I see no harm in at least giving you my name. I am Jynx. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some urgent business to attend to." he said in a somewhat annoyed voice. Without so much as a goodbye, he turned to walk away as quickly as possible.
Marine just stayed standing where she was, blinking in a bit of confusion before placing her hands on her hips with a "hmph!" "Men can be so stubborn sometimes!"
Rather than chasing after the mysterious raccoon, she just continued her lazy stroll down the shore until she reached the town, which basically consisted of a fairly large marketplace with lots of open booths. Having lived there most of her life, Marine was easily able to maneuver through the crowds of other shoppers until she found the booth she was looking for. After purchasing exactly what she needed, she began making her way back toward the shore where her ship was.
As she waded through the crowds once more, however, something caught her eye, or to be more precise, someone. Standing in the middle of the marketplace was Jynx, unmoving as he seemed to be taking in his surroundings. No one seemed to pay him any mind as they just passed by him. In fact, she could have sworn she had just seen a group of shoppers walk right through him. But that was impossible. She chalked it up to her position in the crowd. Sometimes far away things could play tricks on one's eyes, just like earlier that day when she first thought Jynx was a piece of driftwood that had washed up on shore.
Without really thinking about what she was doing, she called out to him and waved an arm. "Hey, Jynx! Over here!" she continued to call out to him as she ran up to the slightly taller male. She came to a stop a few feet away from him, bending over to rest her hands on her knees as she caught her breath. "Hey...you left...before I could tell you...my name..." she panted, a bit out of breath still. When she had finally regained her composure enough to stand up straight, she offered him a hand to shake as she introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Marine."
Jynx dully looked at the hand offered to him but refused to take it. "Nice to meet you, but I'm very busy right now, so please excuse me." he said as he began to walk away. But Marine wasn't about to just let him walk away from her again.
Following after him at a brisk pace, she spoke up in an irritated tone now. "Hey! I'm trying to be friendly to you! The least you could do is shake my hand!"
Jynx stopped mid-step to look around. Several shoppers had stopped to stare at Marine as though she was crazy. The girl was making a horrible scene. Taking a hold of one of her wrists, he began pulling her along quickly, searching for a secluded place. He wasn't about to let her jeopardize his mission.
Marine's eyes went wide in surprise as he began leading her through the crowds of shoppers. She had no idea where he was taking her as she tried not to stumble when attempting to keep up with his fast stride. He pulled her all through town and farther still until they reached the outer edge of the woods. "Hey! Slow down! Where are you taking me?"
Jynx didn't answer as he dragged her along with him. After finding an area fairly separated from civilization, Jynx stopped, releasing Marine and taking a step back.
Taking back her wrist and rubbing it, she looked back to Jynx a moment. "What was that about! Why did you bring me here!"
"Because you were making a scene." he said simply, as though it was obvious.
Marine just blinked at such an answer.
"Listen, if you're going to keep on following me around all day, then can you at least choose a more private place to talk to me?" he said, turning away from her as he crossed his arms across his chest.
Marine nodded her head slightly. "Ummm...sure. We can head to my house. It's not too far from here, and nobody else lives near me. We can talk over a cup of tea and some dinner if you'd like."
Jynx simply nodded and followed her through the woods to her house.
A/N: So there's chapter 1 of "Jynx's Revenge" for you all. Hope you enjoyed it and I'll have more up later. I have to go work on my Invader Zim trilogy first before I update this again. Cya all later. waves
