Hello all and welcome to the first part of the Sonic Legends finale! To all of those who've stuck with the series up until this point, I just wanted to thank you all. I never thought that when I wrote Sonic Legends: Fire and Ice that I'd get such a positive response from so many people. I wasn't a big hit in my previous fandom, the Kung Fu Panda one that is, and I didn't expect anything to change in this fandom. In the old fandom, I was used to getting MAYBE 2,000 views on a story, but now the first story I wrote has over 8,000 and we (I say we because you guys helped make this series what it it) got over 5,000 views on each of the two after that.
If you're a detective and have been paying attention to clues I've been dropping since the first story, then well done. We'll see if you got it right ;)
Like last story, in order for things to be fresh in people's minds, I will insert every clue and fact over the past 3 stories written that lead up to this story. Please enjoy part one of the finale! It'll be a blast.
*Previously on Sonic Legends*
"I was sent by the Frostbite Council to…" The guest started as he pulled out his holodisk, opened it up, and started to read it, "…Travel to blah blah blah, destination and coordinates, and find the last know pyrokinetic in the universe known as Blaze the Cat. Eliminate her and you will receive fame, wealth, and a position on the council. Failing to do so will result in debt, public shaming, and death by extreme heat."
After putting away the disk, a shocked Blizzard looked up at the horrified expressions of the heroes, except for Shadow, who raised an eyebrow.
"That's my first time reading it, I swear." The white cat added, holding his arms in the air.
"Why do you act like that?" Blizzard asked, bits of corndog flying from his mouth.
"Act like what?" Sonic questioned, turning to face the icy cat.
"That! That right there! She obviously is in to you, so why don't you go for it?"
"I don't know, I mean she's just so…clingy." The Blue Blur replied awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head.
"She loves ya, bro. The only way she'll ever leave ya alone is if ya give her a shot," Blizzard continued, waving his snack in the air while he spoke. "You need to CHILL out when it comes to being around her. Get it? CHILL out? Anyway, all I'm saying is that you gotta be nicer."
"BLAZE THE CAT!" The main council member boomed. "YOU ARE SENTENCED TO DEATH TO PROTECT THIS AND OTHER DIMENSIONS!"
"YOU TRAITOR!" A council member shouted, shooting beams of blue light at the cat, who in turn dodged them.
"I'm not letting you murder someone who hasn't even done anything wrong!" Blizzard spat, summoning a sheet of ice in front of him, which was smashed by a ball of white energy.
"It is not what she has NOT done; it is what she COULD do and WILL do if we do not eliminate her!" Another member added, throwing punches at Blizzard.
The icy cat blasted a member with a gust of wind and snow before bombarding two other members with large hail stones.
"You don't know that!" The cat shot.
"It has happened before!" The main member roared.
"Why haven't I heard about it then?"
"We took care of it before it became an issue! This time it was an issue that we needed your assistance for, but you SCREWED IT UP!" The leader yelled before summoning two sheets of ice around Blizzard and smashing them into the cat and then kicking him off the roof.
"Is this some sort of game to you?" The lead member boomed, rising from his seat. "This is not a game! This is a matter of survival! If that pyrokinetic walks out of here alive, you will all regret it in the future! She cannot and will not be able to control her powers if...they...get to her. We must eliminate her, or all dimensions will fall, not just yours or ours! Every single one!"
"You simplistic moron!" The leader growled. "If you happen to beat us, then there is no law in the Frostbite Dimension! You've wiped out the military there and would have killed the rulers! The dimension would spiral into a power struggle; total anarchy would take hold!"
"Sounds like you're just nervous about getting beat by someone as cool looking as myself. I mean, check it out! I look sweet!" Blizzard joked.
"For the sake of our dimension, I WILL NOT let you kill me," The leader stated before charging Blizzard.
"The disturbances coming from this dimension have stopped," One cat stated walking through the snow storm. "I'm freezing. I'm not built for this wheather."
"Neither am I, but the king wants us to find out what this was all about," The second shot. "Let's just find what we need and get back to the Inferno Dimension."
After about ten minutes of walking, the two cats saw the ruined remnants of the Frostbite facility.
"I wonder if those blasted council members survived," The on cat gawked.
"Probably. Those guys are hard to…Hey! Check this out!" The second called, and the first scout jogged over to his friend.
"A charred and burned body of an enemy soldier," The first observed, "But there are no explosion sites near here. That means…"
"That means that that one of us was here," The soldier finished. "Could it be the king's lost daughter?"
"Hard to tell. We know for certain, though, that another pyrokinetic was here," The first scout concluded, gazing upon the ruined base yet again. "Did they do all this?"
After about ten minutes of watching the people down below, Shadow grew bored and stood up. As he turned to walk off, he noticed a thin throwing knife that was hovering near his neck.
"That's a very nice pistol you have there, hedgehog," A feminine voice said from his right. "It could go for a lot on the market."
The figure was just barely out of Shadow's peripheral vision, so he couldn't make out who it was.
"I wouldn't recommend doing this. My weapon is very deadly when used properly," The Ultimate Life Form replied, lowering his eyebrows.
"Well in that case, I'll just take those golden wrist and leg bands that you have there and be on my way. They look more valuable anyway," The girl countered. "Nice and easy, and I won't have to clean my blades tonight."
"Bandit!" Another voice called out, and a male wolf, also around Shadow's age came hovering down from above.
The wolf also had two metal bands around his wrists, but these had a propeller protruding from each one, allowing the wolf to fly through the skies. The newcomer had black, orange, and green combat boots along with open fingered gloves and an orange and black jacket. The wolf was mainly dark brown with long hair, but the tip of his tail was a tan color. He wore orange tinted glasses that had tape around the middle, and a small green ring was in his right eyebrow as well as his right ear.
"Will you ever stop robbing people?" The wolf asked, landing on the rooftop.
"I can handle this on my own. Who are you?" Shadow asked, pointing his gun at the boy now.
The wolf's propellers collapsed and withdrew into his wristbands as he pulled out his own pistol.
"Depends. I can be a friend, or an enemy," The wolf replied. "What about you, dude? You seem to have…anger issues. Enemy?"
"I'm not an enemy, and I DON'T have ANY issues," The Ultimate Life Form seethed.
"Suuuure ya don't. Listen. I've been trying to get Bandit here to stop her criminal ways for a while and become a good guy. I'm someone who wants to help you out," The boy explained, lowering his gun and extending his free hand. "I see she's upset another dude, of whom she's underestimated. Gizmo the Wolf."
"You're thief's gone," Was all Shadow said, making Gizmo turn to find that Bandit had vanished.
"Dang! That always happens!" The wolf complained, pulling out a metal box and tossing it into the air. "Get sidetracked, and then they disappear. Bro, this gets old after a while."
The Blue Blur was standing in a black area, with ink-like sludge on the ground around him. There were no lights whatsoever, and dead silence was the only thing that accompanied Sonic.
"Hello?" The hedgehog called, his voice echoing in the distance. "Amy? Tails? Knuckles?"
No one replied. Only his voice echoed off the black nothingness, taunting him.
"Anyone?"
Suddenly, a piercing laughter shot through the area, bouncing off every corner in the area. The laugh was deep and menacing, and one of which Sonic heard before, but couldn't place.
"Sonic, you fool. You have given yourself a false sense of security, thinking that I would never return," The voice cackled. "Your immature mindset has paved the way for my comeback, in my new, metallic form."
"Who are you? Show yourself!" The Fastest Thing Alive demanded, looking around.
The laughter kept coming. "The mistakes and foolishness of others will lead to the downfall of Mobius! First, Shadow the Hedgehog will die! Then Silver the Hedgehog! Finally, you will perish."
The sludge around Sonic began to climb up him. The hero began to rip the goo off of him, but it was too strong and was climbing too fast.
"I have seen into the future and have charted out my plan very carefully to the point where all of your friends will die, leaving no one with the same power as I have to stop me!" The voice boomed.
Sonic grunted and ripped more sludge off him, but the ooze was covering him quicker than he could pull it off.
"I will enjoy every second we have together, Sonic. We have so much catching up to do since we last met."
Eventually, the black sludge covered his face and slid inside him. The Blue Blur gagged and fell to the ground, his vision blurring.
"The dark shall rise again," The deep voice stated, and then everything went black.
"I heard about the massacre in Mobius," Scourge stated, walking into Fiona's room. "I wonder if Sonic and Miles Prower were among those dead."
"One can only hope," Fiona sighed, looking at her boyfriend. "If they are, I wonder if they'd let us throw some flowers."
"Or a grenade," The evil hedgehog countered, smiling sinisterly. "It sure would be an explosive funeral if that were the case."
"Quite. Maybe we could seize control over there as well."
"And overthrow the existing powers there now? It would be a thought, wouldn't it?"
"It would! Ruler over two dimensions! Sounds fantastic!"
The green hedgehog sighed and lowered his glasses. "I'd be the king and you'd be my queen."
Fiona stood up and walked over to the villain. She placed her hand on his right cheek and smiled before pulling him in for a kiss. The two embraced and then fell to the floor and began rolling around.
It wasn't until a portal opened up on the balcony that he two stopped and looked. A red cat with orange streaks of fur on their head walked through and stepped into the room. With nothing but flaming gloves and red-hot metal boots on them, the cat looked to be about seventeen or eighteen and male.
"Scourge the Hedgehog; Fiona Fox; the king of the Burner Dimension requests your presence. Please follow me," The cat stated, then turned and walked through the portal again.
"Who was that?" Fiona asked, standing up.
"I recognize him. He's the only son of the king himself. Prince Ash they call him," Scourge grumbled. "Let's see what His Majesty wants."
"Come on. I need help up," Shock Charge stated. "Why do you wanna help me anyway?"
"Well, I need your help and Tikal worries about you," The assassin stated, pulling the electric hero off the ground and putting his arm around her shoulder. "You're gonna have to walk a little."
After a ways of creeping in the dark and fighting robots, the two made it out of the base and into the forest. There, they found a good spot to rest, away from the evil base.
"What use am I to you?" The hero asked.
"My dimension is falling apart. We need you to provide a little power for us while we find a better power source. In return, you'll get warm clothes, since we'd be in a cold dimension, food, water, shelter, and protection," Jess replied, obviously having practiced this before.
After a few minutes, Shock Charge nodded and stood up. "It doesn't seem like I have any other option. You saved me, and I refuse to live in my cousin's tribe. Too uncivilized. I'll do it, but I want to meet with Tikal first. I haven't seen her in ages."
"You're definitely crazy," Mute said, shaking his head. "Start up the portal."
The cat pressed a few buttons on the screen and raised an eyebrow. "Weird."
"What?"
"There have been multiple entry dates in here that I don't think we entered. Mobius around five times, and only one was us. Another had two portal holes to the…Burner dimension. That's one hot place," Blizzard explained. "We didn't enter these."
"Well I mean it's just that I don't want anything bad happening to you like with Iblis and I just feel at ease whenever I'm around you but at the same time nervous and my chest aches and I get a bit sweaty under the pits and your very cool to be around..." The telekinetic babbled. "...And it's not what you think it is unless you want it to be that way then I'm all for it because your very pretty and I don't wanna ever be apart from you and..."
"Silver! Just ask. You might be surprised..." The cat whispered.
Silver nervously grinned. "I hope in a good way. Anyways… Wanna date?"
Blaze smiled and sighed. "A naïve way to ask out, Silver, but that's what makes you so likeable. I'd love to."
The two hugged each other while Sonic slowly came up between them again, smiling widely.
"I so called it," The blue hero whispered, looking at the two.
"I'm tired of their meddling in my plans. For too long, I've been the loser in this game. Not anymore. No more Mr. Nice Doctor! I'M—"
The evil scientist cut short when everything around him went dark, and the base went silent.
"Did the base just go dark?" The doctor asked, and a short grunt from one of the two monsters gave the answer of 'yes.' "Well, poop. Looks like we'll have to reboot the systems."
"No systems. Power in base… terminated. Systems…wiped," The Plague stated in a gruff, caveman-like voice.
"How do you know this?" Eggman asked.
Another grunt echoed.
"Fine. It looks like we'll have to relocate. Surely Sonic and his friends are coming for me now. We'll see if you are up to the task when the time comes. Follow me, my creations," The villain ordered, walking out of the room with his new monsters behind him. "I am far from beaten."
"So we lost Eggman again, huh?" Knuckles muttered, standing next to Sonic.
"Yeah. It's not like he can hide forever, though. He's all but beaten. No robots, no creations, no power; nothing! We'll get him eventually," The blue hero replied.
Two pyrokinetics jogged up to a pile of debris, overlooking the area of people below. Ducking down behind the rubble, one feline pulled out a pair of binoculars and scoped out the crowd.
"See anything?" His partner asked.
"Not yet… Gimme a sec…" The cat mumbled, and then smirked. "Got her. After all this tracking, we've positioned her here."
The other pyrokinetic yanked the binoculars away from his partner and zoomed in on the hero. "Oh yeah. That's her. Should we report this to King Inferno? I'm sure he'd love to hear the news."
The other cat nodded his head, and the two opened a portal using a small disk, just like in the Frostbite Dimension, and hopped through.
"Judging by your long list of felonies, Bandit the Raccoon, I can tell you that you're going away for the rest of your life. Maybe even a life after that. I'm sorry, but these crimes are just too extensive to give you any shortened sentence without bail," A judge stated.
The two sat in a court room in an excluded part of Mobius. This small town was not attacked, thankfully, since it was hard to find and was basically off the grid.
"Is there anything I can do to avoid jail time?" The thief asked.
"Well, the only way to avoid jail is to join a hero's team and fight alongside them. It's a new law we're trying out. It's called the Heroic Correctional Actions Law. I came up with that name myself!" The judge stated, sitting up proudly. "I think that you could learn a thing or two from joining a team. Might I recommend this wolf's team? Hm? Gizmo was it?"
"Plot twist. Didn't see that coming," The inventor sighed. "Can't she join another team, dude? Kinda awkward joining a team that has tried to hunt ya down for so long, right?"
"I'm sorry, but there is no one better for her to join than you," The old man said firmly. "I'm not about to annoy the President with having to ship this crook across the dimension in order to join some other team. She'll have to make due with you."
Gizmo threw back his head and sighed loudly. "BRUH. Not cool!"
"I'll take the hero correction whatever," Bandit said, waving her head. "I'm not fit for jail."
The two stepped back through the portal and into Scourge's room once more.
"Good to be back," Fiona stated, waving her arms around. "Surprising that Sonic and his friends are still alive."
"Whatever. As long as we get paid to help this Inferno guy, I don't care what we do," The green villain seethed.
"Wonder what he wanted Catharsis for. Why would he need a telekinetic anyway?" The fox asked, flopping down on her boyfriend's bed.
"Beats me. Scoot over, babe. I wanna watch TV," Scourge said, grinning devilishly. "All I know is that we get to tear apart Sonic and his friends apart, and that's good enough for me."
The girl nodded. "You wanna speak to M?"
"M?"
"Mhm. M!"
"Uh…Who's M?"
"The one in charge!" The raccoon replied, looking at him as if Silver had two heads.
"Is he the one that started this whole issue with Blaze and this bill?"
The girl nodded again. "M talks about it all the time. Everyone listens. Even me! All the children and grown-ups come to the center here and listen to him speak, but he only speaks to certain people if he wants to."
A short pause hung in the air.
"M says he doesn't like you. Or Princess Blaze," The girl stated. "He says you're traitors. Betrayers."
This is getting weird…
"M is talking to you right now?" The hero asked.
"Yeah. He doesn't wanna talk to you."
"What does this…M look like?"
The girl shrugged. "Dunno. He never shows himself, but he says true things and so we believe him."
"PRINCESS! PRINCESS!" A soldier called, bursting into the room. "Every major headquarters for every wealthy adversary of ours was just hit! The leaders were…executed!"
"What?" Blaze gasped, standing up, suddenly grabbing her gunshot wound and sitting down again. "Show me. What's the details."
"We've pulled video footage of the scene. The major one is from Skyler Corp. Check it out," The guard stated, pulling out a large tablet, pressing some buttons and projecting an image on a blank wall.
The video was shot through the security cameras of the business. At first, everything was quiet and normal, but soon, a team of soldiers stormed through the front doors of the building and ordered everyone on the ground.
"These aren't your guys," Silver stated, looking closely. "There's the leader."
Sure enough, a cat emerged from the pack of soldiers, carrying only a revolver and a sly smirk. The team followed close behind, a third taking the elevator and the rest taking the stairs.
The guard switched cameras.
Eventually, the two teams regrouped at the top floor and surged towards the door to the CEO's office.
The cameras switched again.
Breaching, they shot the armed guards who were waiting for them there before the lead cat marched forward. He grabbed the company leader and shoved him out the window, sending the leader on a long fall to the ground. The mysterious cat then turned to the camera, smiling once more, saluting with his revolver before shooting the camera, leaving only static in the image's place.
"But so many unanswered questions. This attack, M, the cat leading the assault, the villagers suddenly backing down… It seems like someone was toying with us," The purple cat sighed, looking at the telekinetic. "But who?"
A sudden humming from the tablet that the guard left behind drew their attention. Silver picked it up and brought it over so Blaze could see it better. A message was written on the screen.
"Do you believe in ghosts? I don't. I believe in being reduced so close to nothingness that you dangle between life and death. I believe that when finding the right determination, you can break the balance and live. I believe that over time, you can build yourself back up to a point where you can now orchestrate the events of the past, present and future so that you may piece the broken shards of time, lost for ages, back together so you may truly exist again. Without those three being united as one, you will have not ever existed. Once combined, you may re-enter the world you tried so hard to change.
Think of this as a chess board. You have your pawns and I have mine. We go back and forth, seeing who will win, but you don't know who you're playing against. I do. I've played against you before, and vice versa, but I can see eight moves ahead, and you can't see one. This attack…this team led by that cat…all part of my plan. I influenced the minds of people you have yet to meet. Family. Enemies. I control your movements and actions without your knowledge. I am more powerful than you can ever imagine. The key to destroying everything in someone's life is to have them reach a high point, give them hope, and take it away with one swift movement.
When one is pushed to the brink of extinction, they return stronger than ever.
Rethink your strategy, you two. My pawns, rooks, knights, bishops and queen surround you while I, the king, sit back and watch. I've been slowly cornering you. Watch out.
Check.
-M"
The doctor sat in the back of the truck in silence, drumming his fingers on the seat. His legs and arms were cuffed, and the door to the outside world was locked. No getting out of here.
Eggman knew that he had failed once more. His indestructible creations were somehow killed. He had a gut feeling. It was looking like he was going to be in prison for the rest of his life for his countless evil deeds.
That is, until a small rift opened up on the opposite side of Eggman.
A cat in full military gear stepped out, carrying a slight smile and holding a revolver.
"Ivo Robotnik?"
"Yes?"
"I have a proposition for you. If you come with me and agree to work on a specific project that will help my father get his daughter, that is, my sister, back, we will give you everything you need, as much as you want as well as complete freedom after you're done," The mysterious feline stated.
"If I refuse?"
The cat motioned around to the jail truck. "Then rot in here."
It seemed like a simple choice, but Eggman didn't know who this was or what he wanted him to build. He also had a feeling that there was something he wasn't being told.
"Deal," The villain said cautiously.
The stranger smiled. "Follow me."
With that, the cat stood the doctor up and pulled him through the portal, closing it behind them after they went through.
A foe will fall when the mind benders meet
And scorched earth will crackle under heroes' feet.
Tall or small, all heroes will fall
And a heart will be broken by the white out's call.
Two heroes will join the two teams of eight
And attempt to change the Mobian fate.
Only when the task seems dire
Will the opposite wielder seize the Throne of Fire.
The one who bears the fiery ring
Will be joined by brothers to slaughter the king,
And only when the shadow of death stands tall
Will an unlikely hero risk it all.
The clan will return and the spire will rise
But the decision of one will determine who dies.
No matter the origin of the last dying breath,
A friend will harbor the Demon of Death.
*With Silver, at HQ, two and a half years later*
"Come on, Sonic! Only three miles to go!" Tails cheered, standing on the side of the indoor track at the team's HQ. "Hurry! You can beat your best time!"
The hedgehog shot around a turn on the track and sped ahead, making a sharp right and then a wide left. Wind whipped through the area, which sent Silver flying over the guard rail. The telekinetic steadied himself in midair and floated back over to his spot, clutching the edge for safety. Tails held a stopwatch in his hands and hovered in the air, using his tails to stay aloft. Blizzard stood next to the fox with a giddy expression on his face.
"GO, GO SANIC! GO, GO SANIC!" The icy cat chanted. "GOTTA GO FAST!"
Suddenly, the Blue Blur halted after passing the finish line, panting heavily. "How'd I do?"
"Eighteen miles in fourteen-point-three seconds," Tails reported.
"Come on! I thought I was faster than that!" Sonic complained, stomping his foot.
"Hey, you ran so fast you gave me whiplash, so there's that," Blizzard said, rubbing his neck.
"The first ever Mobian Super Race is in two days and I'm nowhere near my goal!" The blue hero sighed, shaking his feet a little.
"You'll crush the competition anyway. You aren't called the Fastest Thing Alive for nothing," Silver stated. "You're only real competition is your two siblings, Manic and Sonia, someone named Dash the Cheetah and another named Speedy Gonzales."
"Gloating pride here! I need to beat my two sibs or else I'm gonna hear about it for a while!" The Blue Blur exclaimed. "Especially Sonia!"
"So you got a sister?" Blizzard asked, leaning against Silver.
The blue hero turned and pointed and the feline. "Not for you, no."
The cold hero's ears dropped a little. "I see."
"I'm gonna do another run through again and see if I can do better," Sonic panted, jogging back onto the track.
"M'kay. I'm gonna go...somewhere...that doesn't have tornado's whipping through the place," Blizzard said. "I'll be back at some point. I'm gonna head down to the Firefly."
With that, the cold cat made his way downstairs and out the door.
*With Gizmo, three hours later*
"Look at this!" The wolf exclaimed, motioning around Main Street. "This place is hoppin'! Much busier than the last time I was here."
"You mean when you were failing to capture me?" Bandit asked, twirling her throwing knives and sheathing them in her wrist cuffs.
The inventor looked down and frowned at the raccoon. "Shut it!"
"You two gonna duke it out again?" Dash asked, jogging up to the two.
The cheetah had on green jogging shoes with black socks. A black tank top covered her torso and a green arm band was wrapped around her right bicep. Three gold piercings were in her right ear, and green cargo pants were strapped to her wait by a belt. Her hair was long and wild, clumped together in certain areas, and her whole body was a golden color with black spots all over her. Her hair on her hid was lined with a dark black, and she had piercing blue eyes. Two earbuds were stuck in her ears, and the wire snaked down her side and into her pocket, where a small MP3 sat.
Gizmo's expression softened. "No! Of course not!"
"Good. We've had enough of that for one day. We need to find somewhere to crash for the night so we can wait for the race in a few days," The speedster replied. "I might go to a nightclub tonight. I heard the Firefly is pretty good."
Bandit smirked, walked over and yanked the earbuds out of Dash's ears, and instantly the racer became more timid and shy, looking around cautiously.
"You're a horrible person. This correction thing was a bad idea," The wolf hissed, picking up the headphones and placing them back in Dash's ears.
Once this was done, the familiar, confident smile came back to the girl's face and her stance perked up.
The one thing that was unique about Dash, aside from her amazing speed, was that she was always confident if music was playing. Either in the background or in her ear, if tunes were around, the cheetah was as cocky and full of life as ever, but if there was just random noises, talking or dead silence, she became shy and defensive, not talking to anyone and always cautious.
"Not cool, garbage digger," The racer shot.
"Oh now you wanna go, gazelle muncher?" The ex-thief spat, drawing her throwing knives from her wrist cuffs.
"Aw, these next few days are gonna SUCK!" Gizmo moaned, separating the two.
*With Eggman, two days later*
"Was your plan a success?" The doctor asked, hunkering down over his latest project.
His latest mysterious employers were certainly good at keeping their word. They supplied him with specific schematics and items, and a specific set of items, and he started construction. It looked awfully like his past Metal Sonic's he had made in the past, but this time it was tweaked to look like a different hero. More like Shadow. Two different forms could be acquired in this project depending on which form this being would want, and an unlimited amount of power could be channeled. Liquid reformium was the material he had to use and was the ONLY material available to him. If damaged, the metal was adjust back to its old form in no time, kind of like what he did with Toxic and The Plague, but this time it was metal, which would be impossible to destroy.
"Yes, it was. Our guest is here, however I believe it will take some...convincing to make them stay. Until we can be fully sure that they're on our side, we would like to keep you and our project a secret for now," The shady male cat stated, loading his revolver.
"Tell me, Prince Ash, for what purpose do Scourge and Fiona serve in this grand scheme? Well, I guess I could ask the same for me," Eggman asked, turning around to face the feline.
Ash tapped his temple with the muzzle of his pistol. "All will be told in due time, doctor. For now, though, your job is to keep working on our friend. When everything's done, let me know, and I'll give you the final piece so that he may live."
*With Blizzard, at the Firefly, present time, at night*
The cat was seated in a circular booth, smiling slightly as loud techno music blew out the speakers all around him. People were either getting down on the dance floor, talking with others or just sitting in chairs like he was. Motioning for a waitress, the cat ordered a glass of ice water, with extra ice, of course. She brought it over after a few minutes, but as soon as he touched the glass, it completely froze with ice starting to creep onto the waitress's fingers. She yelped in surprise and dropped the glass, which clunked to the ground.
"What the heck, freak?" She spat, staring daggers at the hero before walking off.
"Wait, what? No! No, no, no! It was an accident! I didn't...and she's gone," Blizzard sighed, slumping back into his chair.
He looked at his hands and hardened his expression slightly.
What was that? That's new...
Going to get up, he placed his hands on the table, but that turned to a sheet of ice as well. The newly frozen counter shone as lights bounced off of it. A little frightened, the cat stumbled out of his booth and face planted on the dance floor. Going to pick himself up, the entire floor became encased with ice, making people slip and fall all around him.
Groaning and glaring at him, people began to slowly get up and make their way off of the floor. The music stopped and people stared at him. Soon, the bouncers were all around him.
"Listen, kid, you're causing these people a lot of issues with your ice power-thing you have goin' on," A bouncer mumbled. "We have to ask you to leave."
"I can get this under control, Snuffleupagus," Blizzard whispered, patting the bouncer's cheek, which left a few ice patches. "You and The Incredible Bulk here can go back to playing chopsticks."
The other bouncer grabbed the cat's arm firmly. "You have to go."
"Small words for a big guy," The cat said, turning to the other huge man. "If your brains were dynamite, there wouldn't be enough to singe the hair on your balding head."
Shortly later, the cat was forcefully launched out of the front doors of the club, skidding across the pavement. Looking at his hands again, he grew a little worried. That wasn't him in there. He wasn't able to control his powers. His nice evening was brought to a halt by a glitch in his abilities. Not only that, but some of the things he said to the bouncers were...not funny. They were a bit dark, which was unlike him.
"Wow, now that's how I know that this place is good," A female voice said.
The hero looked around until he saw a girl cheetah standing not too far away with earbuds in her ears. Quickly scrambling to his feet, he brushed the dirt and dust off of himself and ran his fingers through his mop head, grinning.
"Hello, pretty lady!" The cold cat cheered, walking over to the cheetah and smiling.
"Hello to you, desperate soul," Came the reply.
"Blizzard the Cat. You?"
"Dash the Cheetah."
"Oh! You're the racer that has my friend in a nervous fit!"
The girl raised an eyebrow. "And that friend's name is...?"
"Sonic the Hedgehog."
Dash nodded and smiled. "Friends with Sonic? He's famous. You must be pretty important."
"Important? I saved his life...once."
"Well, Mr. Cat, I would just love to here about such fables, but I have a club to go to. It seems...you don't," The racer teased, poking him on the nose. "I'll be looking for you on race day. Tell Sonic I said hi."
With that, she walked into the club and disappeared, leaving Blizzard standing in the street with his mouth hanging open. Slowly, he shut his mouth and blinked a few times.
"This may be the only time I want Sonic to lose," The icy hero muttered, walking away and bumping into a light post, not noticing that it had turned to ice.
There it is! Sorry that there isn't much new material here, but I had to go back through all three stories and put the parts that pertain to this story in here, and boy were there a lot of pieces!
So Sonic is panicking, Eggman is working on a secret project for some mysterious people, Blizzard's losing control of his powers and has...met a girl? What?
Again, sorry for the lack of new stuff, but the next chapter is gonna lead up to a doozy of a fight scene, so stay tuned!
Remember to leave a review! Follow and favorite and all that good stuff! Check out my past three stories if you want! They'd make everything in this finale so much clearer.
More to come...
