A Love to Remember: To Win Their Heart

One

She is going to die. I can't let that happen. They would never forgive me... It will be all my fault...

Blaze narrowed her eyes as she sent a peircing glare towarsds the two hovering men before her. She looked at the bright green cube that contained the fearful girl before her. The cube looked like it was full of an electric chrage. No one moved, and no one said anything. Her amber eyes were blazing with anger.

If only I had that damn 7th Emerald. I know they have it... I have to take it from them. But they'll kill her... I need a diversion...

ETERNAL FLAME.

Blaze knew her eternal flames that she had labelled as a curse were one of the only keys to solve her problem. Instead of using her flames in her usual "burn everything and shoot flames at your face" technique, she channeled the heat of the fire into her hands internally. She then acted as if she felt defeat and distress by dropping to her knees.

"Why..." She said, barely a whisper. Her friends and allys that accompanied her all stared in distinct surprise at her behavior. Blaze was not generally known to behave that way, and she seemed to be acting out of character.

The eggmen grinned evilly. "So, I see you've given up?" One said, that being Eggman Nega. "I know you have the emeralds. Hand them over and the girl can go."

"Blaze? What are you doing?" Sonic exclaimed.

"If you're not going to take care of the situation, I will handle it myself!" Shadow said, growing impatient. He then charged his chaos powers and using the green Chaos Emerald, he teleported behind the eggmen and began his attack. Seeing as how the fight has started, everyone else took the initiative to attack as well. This only left Blaze on her knees smirking to herself. The metallic ground beneath her began to grow red as the metal started to melt. Everyone else was too distracted to notice, and she used that to her advantage.

Time to put my plan to action.

The metal beneath her was red hot. Being insensitive to heat, Blaze stood up and jumped through the metal, which sent her down into a dimly lit hallway. She charged down, sensing the hidden Sol Emerald's power. In the midst of the battle above her, she was aware someone's life was on the line and she knew without the emerald's power, there was no saving her.

Amy

How could I be so stupid? I'm gonna die here! All because of Sonic and Blaze and my silly love for Sonic. All I wanted was for him to love and care for me... The way I've always dreamed... And this is what I get in return? If they can't help me... I'm gonna die... And Blaze... She just gave up on me! I didn't mean to hit her! I shouldn't deserve to die!

Amy was pressed against the corner, trembling with fear. Her eyes were wide the entire time and millions of thoughts were running through her head. She watched as ammo and lazers were fired at the ones she called her closest friends, to save her. Or...

Maybe they aren't here for me. Maybe they want the emeralds Eggman and Eggman Nega have.

Amy looked over, wondering why Blaze hadn't joined the fight or even been shot yet. She gasped when she saw molten metal and the hole in the ground.

"Where's Blaze?" She cried.

It was all an act.

The majority of her friends looked over to the spot the once defeated Blaze had been, and were all equally shocked at her absence. Cream and Sonic dashed over to the hole and peered over, looking to see if their missing friend was there. Noting that she was no where in sight, they dove into the hallway. Amy's eyes grew tearful as more and more of her friends were leaving her with them.

Sonic

What is Blaze thinking? Why didn't she tell anyone what she was doing? Where did she go? Ugh...

"Mr. Sonic?" Cream asked, struggling to keep up with Sonic's brisk pace.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know where Blaze went?"

"No..."

I wish I knew where she went. Why didn't she tell anyone? Why didn't she tell me? She has a concussion, she can't do stuff like this alone!

Sonic would much rather be roaming hills and forests rather than a metallic space station. The eerieness of the hallway bothered him. As he and Cream scanned each room and crevice, the noticed a change in atmosphere.

No specific character

"Stop," Sonic said, blocking Cream from going any further.

"What is it?" Cream asked. She fluttered down so that she stood just behind Sonic.

"Two things. One, it's much warmer here. And two..." Sonic paused, looking around. "Something's here. Like, a power source. Kinda like a Chaos Emerald... Which means there's a Sol Emerald here somewhere!"

Cream looked curiously around the area. She was a little afraid. It was darker than she would like, unusually quiet, and overall the hum of electricity and the emtiness was quite nerve-wracking. She was, after all, a little girl. She shuffled a little closer to Sonic, who, sensing her unease, allwed her to hold his hand as he slowly moved forward with her.

"Hello?" He called, a little uneasy. "Blaze, you there?"

Sonic, having watched so many horror movies in his lifetime, wasn't quite enjoying the situation. He was alone with a little girl in an unfamiliar zone. Some giant killer robot could come and attack them, for all he knew. He half expected to be sliced by heat lazers, or find Blaze dead somewhere. The thought was rather unsettling for him. He was about to take another step when an arm came infront of him.

"Wait."

Shocked, Sonic looked over to see a stern looking Blaze. "If you take another step, an alarm with go off, and lazers with pop up everwhere." Blaze said, not meeting his gaze. "So I would suggest you don't move."

Sonic looked at her. He studied her from head to toe. She was in her usual attire, but what bugged him were the bandages present on her head. To him, they were a sign that she could get hurt. They were a reminder that not only her, but him and his friends could be hurt too. They also were a reminder that sometimes people can act out of sorts. That his friends can hurt each other. That two of his best friends fought over him. He didn't like what it smbolized.

Cream clung now to Blaze. Blaze merely glanced at the girl for a moment, before her gaze returned forward. "See that up there?" She pointed towards the distance. "That's the Sol Emerald. They have it under heavy guard."

"Okay, so how do we get it?" Sonic asked.

"I don't know..." Blaze sighed, feeling stressed and truley defeated.

"Miss Blaze?" Cream asked.

"Yes?" Blaze tone softened as she knelt down next to Cream.

"It's scary down here..."

Sonic chuckled softly as Blaze let out a snicker before she nervously scratched the back of her ear. "I know. But we need that emerald or-"

The hum of electricity suddenly got louder. The fear was evident in Blaze as she hurredly picked up Cream and ran as fast as she could with Sonic and leapt out of the hole. Sonic followed her as she ran a good distance from the hole before she threw herself to the ground clutching Cream as if her life depended on it. There was a look of sheer terror on her face as Sonic knelt next to her. Though his hands were shaky, he touched her shoulder causing her to flinch.

"Blaze, what was that?"

Blaze was breathing rapidly and Cream was crying into her shirt. "Sonic... Something is wrong..." Blaze took a shaky breath, hesitationg before she met his gaze. "There is somthing down there... I sensed it and it's dangerous... I-I don't know what it was...!"

Everyone had stopped fighting. The air in the room grew cold and black mist began to flow out of the hole. Not wanting to be responible for Amy, she was released and Shadow carried her. Blaze and Sonic got up as everyone began to run out of the room. Blaze could hardly stand. She had never felt this much fear in her life and she was trying her best not to cry.

"Tails!" She cried. "Where's your ship, we have to leave now or we'll..."

Blaze was interupted by Tails rapidly clicking a button on his keys. The ship became visible and everyone rushed inside. Tails didn't bother waiting for them to put on seat belts. He started the ship and they flew off heading back to mobius. Everyone excluding Tails watched as the space station Dead Line was engulfed with black mist.

"Blaze?" Shadow said, his unease was evident in his voice. He had seen much more than her and experienced terror, but seeing her, who he held in high regard for not showing emotion, on the verge of tears, he knew something was wrong. "What was that?"

Tears began to silently stream down Blaze's face. Her voice was shaky as she replied. "I don't know Shadow... All I know is that everything was fine. I had located the Sol Emerald, and then... I sensed something... And every part of my body told me something was wrong... I knew we had to get out of there or we'd... I don't know..."

Rouge, who was known mainly for confidence, looked insecure as she spoke up. "The girl is right. When it began to come into the room-" She stopped herself.

"Everything was cold..." Amy said. Her voice was unusually quiet as she spoke, and she refused to make eye contact.

Cream whimpered. Sonic, who was seated next to Blaze tried to comfort both her and Blaze. Tails then called out, "Okay... you guys need to put on seatbelts we're about to enter the atmosphere and this is where it gets rough..."

Everyone put on their seat belts in silence. No one spoke. They were all trying to figure out what tha mist was. Once they were finally back on the planet, everyone figured that no one wanted to go home alone. Shadow and Rouge went into the city, and everyone else headed over to Vanilla's house to drop Cream off.

"What happened to her!?" Vanilla demanded. The sight of Blaze holding her crying daughter at her front door was not something she was okay with. Cream leapt from Blaze into her mothers arms, and Vanilla glared at the people she was once so caring for. Amy and Tails began telling what happened, And Vanilla welcomed them in to talk. Sonic and Blaze headed to Sonic's house to discuss amungst themselves.

Sonic grabbed him and Blaze each a glass of water, and they sat on the couch. Sonic then turned to her. "Are you okay?"

Blaze put her glass of water on the coffee table in front of her and crossed her arms. "Yes, I'm fine..."

"You definitely weren't fine before."

"I know that Sonic!"

"Blaze, calm down, it's okay."

"No it isn't! Who knows what that was!"

"..." Sonic couldn't think of what to do or say to that. He was at a loss because he knew she suffered some form of trauma from that incident. Everyone had run in fear... For all he knew the Eggmen could be dead and Blaze was missing something vital to both their worlds. With that space station in such close proximity with Mobius, Sonic was worried that the mist would attack the planet.

A/N: Okay guys, this is the sequel to A Love to Remember. I got myself a new laptop over the weekend, so my updates will become more regular and less random and spread out. Also, some of you may notice the change in style of my writing. I tried to put more detail and character thought and overal write a better story, but I would highly appreciate some thought. This story will be a bit more serious than the last one, and I hope you like it!
