This is a side project and spinoff I'm writing while working on a very large series, The Adventures of a Flame Hero. I won't publish it until I've finished at least the prequel and the first main story of the Drawn to Life segment, so it might be a while. That series acts as a prequel to this story (and possibly others) so I'll give you the gist of it here. Alia is a quite normal Year 8 student when Wilfre attacks her, trying to achieve what he failed with Mike. She promptly falls into a coma in her world, while she wakes up in the Raposa world, and is soon adopted as a temporary Creation Hero. While there, she finds out about her alter-ego form, ArcaGrowl, and how to use it. With a Flame Emblem she can control flames, with powers akin to those of a Growlithe. Wilfre creates a shadow version of ArcaGrowl called Void, who is trying to take over the world and kill her. Meanwhile, Sonic and Shadow have stupidly spread the seven Chaos Emeralds across different dimensions, and end up in the Raposa world while looking for them. ArcaGrowl and the two hedgehogs team up soon after to find the Chaos Emeralds and defeat Void. That involves travelling to different worlds, including the one of Harvest Moon.

This story shows what crazy adventures she might get into if she saves the day and wakes up.

I do not own anything apart from ArcaGrowl, Void, Alia and the Flame Emblems.

After yet ANOTHER accident involving chocolate cake, a Flame Emblem, and some green gloop from Science class, Alia's finding her normal life being mixed with that of her alter ego, ArcaGrowl. After the whole coma incident, her life had gone back to that of a Year 8 high school student. Now, all the friends she made along the way to stop Void were popping into her world to say hello, how the heck is she going to explain the sudden appearance of fictional characters to everyone?

Alia was running around the house, trashing most rooms in the process, looking for her jar of goo which happened to be her Science project.

"Trust the stupid teacher to give me some vanishing radio-active goop to study!" She yelled, annoyed for once that her family were on a month's vacation, leaving her to look after the house.

At least she could have blamed her evil half sister and gotten out of trouble.

"Isn't it illegal to leave a (practically) child on her own?"

Now that she actually thought about it, Alia had spent six years in that coma, so she was technically eighteen. However, she still had the mind and body of a twelve year old, so was still in Year 8.

"AHA!"

She found the jar of gloop next to her Growlithe plush toy. Technically though, it wasn't a toy, but her own real Growlithe pretending to be a toy. It only 'woke up' if she used a Flame Emblem on it.

"YAY! If I did get a detention, everyone would be teasing me for weeks! I'm gonna go celebrate that not happening with chocolate cake!"

(Well, the age of her mind should be twelve. She had the smarts of her biological age, the body of the age she was currently, and the innocence and happy-go-lucky attitude of a small child. Most of the time.)

She quickly raced out of her bedroom, down the stairs and into the kitchen to grab the cake she had secretly spent her pocket money on. She wasn't really a fan of sweet things, but chocolate cake and dairy fudge were weaknesses of hers.

After cutting a small slice, she ran back upstairs again, tripping over and flying into her room, knocking over the gloop, her Growlithe toy, and quite a few other things in the process.

"HOLY ARCANINE!"

There was a small explosion, and next thing she knew, there was a lot of smoke, and four people she definitely knew, if not well.

"ArcaGrowl?"

She blinked slightly, before looking down at herself. Orange fur, black stripes, cream stomach. She knew her head would also be orange, two quills sticking upwards behind her head with cream highlights, a cream muzzle, and those almost glowing aqua eyes which seemed to be the only feature that carried over when she transformed.

Yep, Alia was in her alter ego form, ArcaGrowl.

She looked up at Angela, Gill, Luke and, strangely, Gray.

"Not again..." Was all she groaned, before looking at the empty plate she was holding.

"HEY! WHERE'S MY CAKE!"
