Hello, fellow fanfic authors. This is my second Sonic fanfic I decided to write (the other being a crossover between Sonic and Street Fighter). The reason I chose Marine is because I kinda her, and this story is just to give the little raccoon her day in the limelight. So, please read, review, and enjoy. Also, beware of slight spoilers for Sonic Lost World.

Disclaimer: I own nothing

Marine's Big Adventure

"Way to go, dumbass!" Zeena yelled at Zomom as she and the Deadly Six ran from the pursuing cops. She, Zomom, Zavok, Zazz, Zor, and Master Zik, collectively known as the Deadly Six were residents of the Lost Hex, a floating continent of sorts. Recently, they were forced under the employ of Dr. Eggman, a mad scientist who wanted to use their powers to conquer the world. He used an object called the Cacophonic Conch, a special artifact that nullified a Zeti's powers. But Sonic the Hedgehog, who had followed Eggman to the Lost Hex, inadvertently freed them from their control by kicking the Conch away. Now free to use their powers, the Six attempted to destroy Eggman's world as retribution by draining it of its energy with Eggman's Extractor and using the energy to enhance their powers. Despite their efforts, they were all defeated by Sonic.

However, the Deadly Six managed to survive their ordeal thanks to Zor using his shadow powers to save them all from their deaths. They then decided to explore Sonic's world and took to thievery, committing several successful heists. This was was a simple enough heist. A rare, priceless sapphire diamond was held at the museum in Station Square. The plan was foolproof. Zor would use his shadow powers to break into the museum and disable the security system allowing the rest of them to enter with no trouble... Or, at least, there wouldn't be any trouble if Zomom hadn't foolishly eaten one of the artifacts and activated the secondary security alarm. Now the Six were forced to flee with their prize.

"It wasn't my fault!" Zomom protested. "It looked like a giant cherry! I was hungry!"

"You're always hungry, you walking garbage disposal!" Zeena replied.

"Would you both shut up?!" Zavok shouted, breaking the argument.

"What're we gonna do, boss?" Zazz asked.

"We cannot be seen with this gem." Master Zik said.

"I know, Master." Zavok replied. "And I've already come up with a plan. We're near Emerald Beach. We'll bury the diamond there and come back when the heat's off." He then turned to Zomom. "And Zomom, since you got us in this mess, the onus falls on you to get us out of it." Zomom stared at the red Zeti with a confused expression. "What's 'onus' mean? Is it an omelet?" he asked. Zavok rolled his eyes and sighed. "Let's try this again with simple words. Bury the diamond on the beach and meet us at the hideout." Zavok replied.

"Oh, okay!" Zomom said as he took the gem and flew to the beach. Zor used his shadow powers and opened a portal so he and the others could make a quick escape. Zomom made it to the beach and hurriedly dug a hole before tossing the gem in and piling sand on top. He then flew away, confident that he hid the diamond quite well.

Meanwhile, at the Sol Dimension

"So far so good." Blaze the Cat whispered to herself as she snuck around Southern Island. Blaze was the princess of the Sol Dimension and the guardian of the Sol Emeralds. Due to being ostricized at her youth because of her innate fire powers. Blaze was quite withdrawn and antisocial. However, during an adventure where the Sol Emeralds were stolen by Dr. Eggman and Dr. Eggman Nega, she met Sonic the Hedgehog, who taught her the value of friendship. Thanks to him, she was able to unlock the Emeralds true power and has since been one of the hedgehog's closest allies.

She was on her way to Sonic's dimension to meet Silver the Hedgehog for their... well, she wouldn't really call it a date (though she admittedly had developed a slight crush on him). But she and Silver had planned a quiet afternoon at the park. She even packed some sandwiches she made herself (with some help from Gardon). Now, if she could get to Sonic's world without attracting the attention of a certain someone. In a secluded spot away from the village, Blaze looked around to see if she was truly alone. "Coast is clear." She said to herself. She then took a deep breath and summoned the Sol Emeralds to her. The mystic gems encircled her. Just as she was about to chant the incantation to send her to Sonic's world, she heard an all-too familiar voice shout, "G'day, Blaze!", breaking her concentration.

"Dammit!" Blaze mentally cursed. She turned around to find the very person she was trying to avoid was right behind her: Marine the Raccoon. Much like Sonic had his friend Tails and Amy had her friend Cream, Blaze had her friend Marine. Blaze had first met Marine when Sonic and Tails found themselves in her world. At that time, a robot pirate named Captain Whisker was terrorizing the seas in search of the fabled Jeweled Secptre. At first, Blaze found Marine annoying and only allowed her to tag along if she promised to stay with the group. When it was time to confront Captain Whisker, Blaze had to, regrettably, hurt her feelings to get her to stay behind. But despite that, Marine snuck away with the gang and stole the Jeweled Secptre back from Whisker. It was at that moment did Blaze start to open up to Marine and soon began to see her as a little sister of sorts.

Though Blaze had to admit that Marine had somewhat matured in the months following that adventure, Marine still had a tendency to get in trouble on her seafaring adventures, forcing Blaze to come to the rescue. Thankfully though, there were no big threats as the Sol Emeralds were safe in her world and the pirates had been laying low. As Blaze stared at the raccoon, furious that she had been caught, Marine looked at her with that trademark smile. "So whatcha up to, mate?" Marine asked.

"I'm, uh, going on important business in Sonic's world." Blaze nervously replied, not a very skilled liar. The reply made Marine tilt her head in confusion, spying the basket in Blaze's hand. "Is it another date with that Silver bloke?" Marine asked. "D-D-Date?!" Blaze exclaimed, flustered and fiercely blushing. "What?! N-No! Preposterous! I-I'm just going on a b-b-business trip is all! W-What possibly gave you that idea? I mean, it's not really a date per se. Who told you it was a date?!"

"Gardon did." Marine replied. "I asked him where you were headed off to."

"Of course." Blaze said. "The walls have ears these days."

"Can I come with you?" Marine asked.

"No." Blaze bluntly answered.

"But why not?" Marine whined.

"Because this is just me and Silver." Blaze replied.

"But what about our surfing?" Marine asked.

"Surfing?"

"Yeah! You said we'd go surfing on our boogie boards today!" Marine replied. That was today?" Blaze asked, genuinely confused. "Oh Marine, I'm so sorry. I completely forgot! Well, we can do it when I come back. Or, why don't you ask the Coconut Crew?" Marine looked downward, a somewhat somber expression on her face. "The Coconut Crew took the ship and went on some errands." Marine replied. "It's just me by my lonesome." Blaze paused and placed a hand on her chin as she thought on this. This was quite a predicament. Marine could be annoying at times, but Blaze couldn't, in good conscience, leave a seven-year-old by herself. But she wasn't going to take Marine with her on her date either. Blaze pondered on this a few more minutes before she balled her fist into her open palm and her face lit up with a sudden realization.

"I've got it!" Blaze exclaimed.

"What is it, mate?" Marine asked.

"How would you like to meet some friends or mine at Sonic's world?" Blaze asked with a smile.

"Really?! That'd be ripper!" Marine exclaimed. "Well then, please fasten your seat belts this is a nonstop trip to Sonic's world!" Blaze replied as she took Marine's hand. The Sol Emeralds encircled them both and in a flash of light, the two of them vanished.

In Sonic's World...

"It's nice to see you again, Blaze!" Vanilla greeted as she and her daughter Cream welcomed Blaze. The two were joined by Amy Rose and Big the Cat. Amy and Big had met with Cream for their daily afternoon's together. "And it is nice to see you as well." Blaze replied. Vanilla then took a curious look at Marine. "Oh? And who's this?" she asked. "This is Marine." Blaze replied. "Say hello, Marine."

"G'day, mates!" Marine enthusiastically greeted.

"It's nice to meet you, Marine!" Cream said.

"Hey there!" Amy greeted.

"Hi Marine!" Big said.

"So, what brings you here?" Vanilla asked Blaze. "I'm going to be running some errands." Blaze began. "So if it's not too much trouble, can you watch Marine for me a bit? Just for the afternoon."

"She's actually going on a date with Silver." Marine whispered to Amy and Cream, prompting giggles from them.

"It is not a date!" Blaze snapped.

"Oh, come on Blaze." Amy replied. "We all know you have a crush on Silver. It's no big secret."

"Anyway... can you watch Marine for me?" Blaze asked.

"Oh it's no trouble at all!" Vanilla replied.

"Any friend of Miss Blaze is a friend of mine!" Cream said.

"Yay! Another new friend!" Big exclaimed.

"We were just about to play some softball." Amy said. "Wanna come with us?"

"Too right!" Marine said as she followed the three of them. "Bye Mama! I'll see you later!" Cream said. "Alright Blaze! Say hi to Silver for me!" Marine said as they all left, leaving Blaze and Vanilla alone. "Are you sure it won't be any trouble?" Blaze asked. "What do you mean?" Vanilla asked in reply. "Well, Marine can be a handful at times and she's prone to getting in trouble." Blaze began. "I just hope she won't be too much of a problem."

"Oh, Blaze." Vanilla began. "It's no trouble at all. The Chaotix sometimes ask me to babysit Charmy, so trust me, hyperactive kids are my specialty. So anyway, you don't need to worry. Marine will be just fine! Now just go have fun on your date!"

"It is not a... oh, never mind." Blaze replied, exasperated. "Thanks for the help."

"Anytime, dear!" Vanilla said as she entered the house. Once she was gone, Blaze took out a compact mirror, opened it up to look at her reflection and said, "Blaze, you magnificent bitch, I read your book." She then broke into laughter before flying off to the park, feeling pretty pleased with herself. And why shouldn't she? She managed to solve Marine's problem while managing to earn a quiet afternoon with Silver. And maybe some friends her age might bring Marine more down to earth. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?

Little did Blaze know that soon everything would go wrong.

Okay! First chapter's done! This is going to be a fun story! Remember to leave feedback!
