"Where do you think!?"
Authors note: Thanks for reading my story! I hope you like it and if you do, please review, whether its signed or anonymous, full page or even a sentence or word on every chapter, just to let me know that my story is being read and enjoyed, to keep me going. Even criticisms are welcome. Every review is read, accepted and taken into account by me, even the harsh ones. In this story all of the characters two years older than in the games, mainly for Tails and Marine, who are now twelve (Which I just prefer, it makes it easier for them to be braver, and perhaps some romance?). Includes Sonic X Blaze, maybe Tails X Marine. You shall see.
Chapter One: Blaze's Palace, it begins
"Your highness, you have a visitor."
Blaze the Cat finished putting on her makeup and turned around to face her servant, "Who is it?"
"It's Silver the Hedgehog your highness."
"Let him in please."
"Yes your highness." The servant bowed and made her way out, Blaze rolled her eyes, she couldn't stand everyone calling her "highness", but, being a princess did have it's perks. She looked around at her massive room and queen sized bed, it was all purple of course.
"Blaze!" The familiar voice came from the door, and Silver ran towards her with his arms out, however. he didn't expect her to move out of the way. "Ouch!" Silver yelped as he fell into the wall, his head fell on the mat beneath Blaze's feet. "Hi." He said simply.
Blaze raised an eyebrow, "You feel like getting up anytime soon?"
"Nah." Silver grinned, "Besides, I like the view."
Blaze paused for a moment, then realised what he meant. "Silver!" She shrieked and jumped away from him. Silver laughed as he got up. "What are you here for anyway?"
"Oh, that." His smile faded as he remembered, "Marine sent me, she said... erm..."
"What? What is it?" Blaze showed no emotion in her face, but was growing nervous.
"The jeweled scepter's been stolen."
"What!? How!?" Blaze's hands set on fire as she shrieked in fear and rage. "The jeweled scepter is in a locked safe, underground, with tons of gaurds and only I, Marine, Sonic and Tails know the code for her safe!"
"Was." Silver corrected her matter-of-factly
"Yes, Silver, was." The lillac feline rubbed her head, "Why didn't Marine tell me herself?"
"She tried to," Silver smirked as he said this, "but, the gaurds wouldn't let her in, then she verbally assaulted one of them and got thrown out."
"When will that kid learn!?" Blaze put her coat on and made for the door.
"Where are you going?" Silver shouted after her.
"Where do you think!?"
Silver sighed and ran after her.
It was a couple of hours before the two reached Marine's island, "Did I ever mention how sweet it was that you could get a helicopter on demand?" Silver kept glancing at the awesome machine with a grin as they walked towards Marine's house.
"You could stand to mention it more often," Blaze said this with a grin, as she was thinking before, being a princess did have it's perks.
"G'day cobbers!" Marine answered the door with her usual cheery aussie accent.
"Marine, what happened to the scepter?" the raccoon's grin faded, she sensed the seriousness in Blaze's voice.
"Well... 'e took it didn'e?" Marine raised an eyebrow, "I dan't know much else."
"Who, Marine, who took it?" Blaze was doing her best not to get mad at the twelve year old.
"It was that Eggman guy."
"Nega?"
"That's the blighter!"
"Uugh! What does he want now!?"
"Blaze, temper," Silver chipped in, "Don't get-"
"Who asked you!?" Blaze's hands set on fire again.
"Chill out Blaze." he put his hand on her shoulder, then quickly recoiled from the heat.
Blaze took a deep breath, and held back her emotions - as usual. She then sighed, her moment or tranquility didn't last for long when she remembered:
"The Sol Emeralds!" She shouted so loud she made Marine and Silver jump.
"What?" Silver asked, clutching his chest from the shock. He then found himself being dragged by his back quill. "Owowowow! Where are we going?"
"Where do you think!?"
"Hold on mates! Oi'm camin' too!" Marine dashed after them.
Within a couple of hours they were at the palace, in the room where the Sol Emeralds were kept underground, Blaze punched in a code on the wall and a number of locks unbolted, the foot-thick steel door infront of them rose. All three sighed in relief as the seven glistening gems came into view. "Erm...Blaze?" Marine's voice came nervously from outside.
"Can this wait Mar-" Blaze's eyes shot wide open as she turned around and saw what the raccoon had her eyes glued to. The sky was slowly changing to a dark, red colour over the city of Soleanna. Strange, black and red creatures fell from the sky, it wasn't long before the screams of terrified citizens could be heard.
"What the hell's going on!?" Silver looked terrified as he walked out of the room to join them.
"How should I know?" Blaze was sick of him always looking to her for answers.
"You always know!"
"Well not this time!" Blaze was getting stressed again, then she thought to herself for a moment, "I can think of someone who might know..." she grabbed a Sol Emerald, "Please work! Chaos control!" a spark flew from the emerald, but then nothing.
"Blaze? Help here?" Silver shouted as he fended off one of the black creatures with a piece of the metal door, it was knocked away pretty quickly. "Soon!?"
Blaze concentrated, "Chaos...control!". Nothing.
"Let me try it!" Silver picked up the monster with his telekinesis and threw it backward, "That'll buy us some time."
"You've never even held one of them!" as Blaze said this the emerald was snatched from her hand, she had never seen Silver act so serious.
"It's worth a try. Hold that... thing off!" Silver had no idea how to do this, but it felt almost as though he had done it before. "Chaos control!" Silver closed his eyes and focused his energy. A small spark flew from the emerald.
"Oh well done ya nutter!" Marine piped up, "Na what're we gonna- What the-!?"
All three were engulfed in a green light, then there was silence.
Blaze then felt her head fall against grass, she rubbed her head before opening her eyes and then looked up to see Silver and Marine rubbing thier backsides. They were in a forest of some sort.
"Need to practice yer landing mate." Marine said jokingly as she stood up. Silver just glared.
"Where are we?" he said.
"Blaze!" A familiar voice came from above them, Blaze looked up to see the cobalt hedgehog, sitting on a tree branch with one eye open.
"Who're you?" Silver asked, looking up questioningly.
Sonic seemed taken aback by not being recognised, but grinned anyway, "The names Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog!"
Blaze let out a small smile, she'd been dying to see Sonic again, she had thought she would maybe never set her eyes on him again, "Still the usual introduction I see."
"As always." Sonic jumped down and gave her a hug, "It's good to see you. So, what's the occasion?"
I've made a poll everyone! Would you like to see some Tails X Marine in "Where do you think!?"? You decide.
