Wild Roller-coaster

Sonic was running through Station Square I got to get to Cream! He looked at a sign that says Twinkle Park "I'll cut though here" He ran through the park avoiding the people and attractions, but he took a wrong turn and ended up inside a roller coaster car and got trapped in. The ride then started up.

"Oh no!" Sonic did his best to escape, but to no avail. Little did he notice, Richter was sleeping next to Sonic snoring up a storm. Richter then fell on Sonic.

"BAH Hebble beeble!" Richter babbled waking up.

" Uhhh…" Sonic tried to get his attention

Richter got up shaking his head. "Say are you following me? " the orange echidna asked

" Well uhhh…" Sonic shuddered looking at him, hardly noticing he was an echidna.

"Ah! I'm kidding! Ba ha ha! Well anyway…..I'm just going where my gut tells me to." Richter stretched his arms and yawned. "So what brings you here? Where is here anyway?"

"I'm just trying to make it out up of this park and…"

Richter lunged himself up to Sonic's face " Oooo boy!" The ride carries them up a large incline. "Well good luck to ya. If you can make it here you can make it anywhere…and if you can't...well join the club."

From the top of the coaster, Sonic could see the entire city of Station Square. "Whoa…this must be the new 'top of the world' coaster. Awesome!"

"Oh no!" Richter screamed

"What?"

"We're going to fall off the edge! We're going to crash!" Richter said holding his face.

"What?!"

"Please, keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times" a robotic voice said. The coaster car closed up turning into a giant pinball. "Keep your seatbelt on and enjoy the ride"

"Oh please that whole seatbelt thing is overrated. WHAAA!" It then dropped down and onto a rail.

"Whoa!" Sonic screamed

"EEEEEEEYYYEAAHHH!" Richter screamed.

The pinball got caught by a giant arm and spins around. Sonic was holding onto the rail, while Richter was babbling as the wind blows on his cheeks. The ball then suddenly stopped turning.

Richter was laughing hard. "Ah ha ha! I had you! Just kidding Again! Ahhh.. now cringe your body screaming as if you just got pinched…

Sonic looked over confused. "What'd you…WHOA!"

A large spring then slammed on the ball. Lunging it forward in the air."

"WHOA!" Sonic shouted lowering his head.

"YEAH!" Richter shouted lifting his hands in the air like he doesn't care. (A/N Had to do it)

The ball then made a U turn into a large blocked area. It was then hitting several walls that lit up. It was like a giant pinball machine.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Because his seatbelt was off, Richter was flinging around the ball.

The ball then falls down on another rail and into an elevator that looked like a circular pinwheel.

"Oh…I don't feel so….BECH!" Richter then threw up outside of the car, thankfully. "Sorry…"

The Ball then lifted up in the circular elevator and ball spun like it's on a ferries wheel. The ride lasted for another few seconds before stopping on the top.

"I can't believe a ride like this even exist…" Sonic was holding his head. "Ugh…My head's spinning.."

"Remember folks, this is a fan fiction don't try this at home" Richter said breaking the fourth wall. (A/N I'll let it slide this time) He then looked at Sonic laughing. "You know, this ride used to be a lot worse. They had this giant hammer and…"

" Ahhhhhhhh!" Sonic gasped looking at a massive mallet come their way.

"Oh look!" Richter exclaimed. "They brought it back…" He said calmly.

"Get me out of….heeeerreee!"

The pinball got hit and flew through the air. Both of them were screaming, but Richter was actually grabbing onto Sonic shaking his head screaming in his ear.

Ball then roughly got caught by a large spoon that fell to the ground. The ball then rolled onto another rail opening, stopping on two blockers. A small hammer then came down slamming on the ball breaking it open.

"Ohhh.." Sonic then fell out of the ball with both of his eyes swirling. He then felt like puking. "Never should have had those chili dogs…"

Richter had the same eyes. "Whooo… man that chocolate bar tasted pretty good the fourth time down" He then walked over to Sonic helping him up. "Ahhh there we go…"

Fortunately, Sonic was able to hold down his lunch. He then saw Richter smiling at him.

"Wasn't that fun?! Well anyway, don't worry. Just stick with me kid. I know this city like the back of my…" He was distracted by carnival music. "Ohhh! is that the ice cream truck?"

Whaaaaaam!

Before he knew it, Richter got hit with another giant hammer, and goes flying in the sky. "AAAAH HA HA! Man that smarts!"

"Sorry!" Sonic turned and saw a mechanic. He was opening a large door that had a large machine working. "Stupid giant hammer…why do we even add that thing?"

"Have a great day!" said the man standing near the ride exit

Sonic looked as Richter made a large star in the sky. "Well…that was interesting…. Who was that weird guy…oh! That's right! I got to get to Cream" Sonic ran out of the ride exit leaving the park and heading to Empire City

Friendly Advice

Moments later, Sonic was speeding cross the industrial city, to the boarding school hoping he would find Cream. Cream was a Rabbit who was attending Empire City School in hopes to becoming a nurse because she was already fluent with medicines, cures, and treatments. Cream was also friends with Amy. Like Tails is Sonic's little bro, Cream is a little sister to Amy. Sonic finally found the school. It was a large red brick school with a bell tower and a large garden. "Whoa…nice place. Almost makes Spagonia look like a preschool…almost. Sonic found a tan rabbit walking with her classmates to their next class.

"Well that was fast! Hey Cream!" Sonic shouted from a distance.

"Huh?" The tan rabbit with a blue school uniform looked across from the large garden. "OH! Mr. Sonic!" she ran over to Sonic and gave him a big hug. "It's so good to see you!"

"Hey! So how are you?" said Sonic.

"I'm doing great Mr. Sonic." The Rabbit answered joyfully. "I'm already passing all my classes. I've been working very hard, and all my teachers are so nice and adore me"

"That's great!" Not too far from where they were standing, a boy was watching them talk. He was a light brown rabbit with lopped ears lying down on his face. He wore a blue uniform with a red bow tie. He was staring at the Cream deeply, he could she her face sparkle as he was looking at her.

"Hey Rocky!" said another boy "You staring at that girl again?" The rabbit wasn't paying attention.

"Man this year we are going to kick Spagonia's butt at the spelling bee right Rocky?" said another boy next to him, and yet still he was not paying attention.

"Huh?"{ The rabbit turned and looked at his friends." I'm sorry did you say something?"

One of the boys sighed with annoyance. "You've been staring at that girl for the longest. Just talk to her already!"

"I think someone may have beaten ya to it."

"Huh? What do you mean?" the rabbit asked uncovering his face.

"See that blue hedgehog? Looks like he's making a move"

"I've never seen him. Is he new?"

The rabbit gasped as he saw Sonic with the girl he was looking at. Without question he dashed out of the classroom.

"Wow…no wonder he's a shoe-in to win this year's spelling bee." Rocky ran through the halls and all the way outside the garden and hid in the bushes.

"So what brings you here Mr. Sonic?" Cream asked "Trying to hide from Amy again?"

"Actually…" Sonic looked at Cream with a serious face. "Amy has been severely hurt".

Cream gasped at the very thought of her older sister was hurt. She dropped her books and stared at Sonic with wide eyes. "Oh No! What Happened? You did something, didn't you?!"

"What?! No!" Sonic said defensively

"I know she chases you, but can't you see that she loves you? Why do you have to be so cruel?"

"Listen!" Sonic yelled at Cream. He was feeling enough regret already and she wasn't helping. Cream's eyes started to well up. Sonic's rage then cooled off and he gave Cream another hug. "Hey...hey...I sorry...I'm just scared that's all. I don't know what's wrong with her. All I do know is that she has burns all over her body" Cream pulled away from Sonic and wiped her face. "You Ok?"

"Yeah…I'm sorry for yelling. I worried about her that's all"

"I know. Me too. So what should I do?"

"If it were burns then it should be an easy fix. My momma would give me Aloe Vera to treat me if I got burnt. After that wrap her burns up with bandages.

"That's it? Are you sure I don't have to take her to the hospital?"

"Well no, but why are you asking for my help. I'm only studying to becoming a doctor...I'm not one yet. Plus it seems odd that you'd come all this way just to ask how to treat simple burns"

Sonic just laughed. He had no idea what was going, but he had a feeling that those weren't just any burns. Still he told the truth. "Actually, Amy asked if I could come get you"

"Wow…really? She must really want to see me. Ok, I'll head over there to check on her tonight. We have a three day weekend, thankfully"

"Tonight? Why not now?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Sonic, but I to get to class or the teacher will get mad." Both of them heard the school bell ring. "I've got to go. As soon as School lets out I will head to central city as soon as I can." Cream then ran in to the building. Sonic stood there for a moment.

"This is my chance!" said Rocky

Sonic sighed out of annoyance "Just what I need…" Just before taking off when he saw Rocky come out of the bushes.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Rocky ran out of the bushes panting like crazy.

"Who are you? Are you lost" asked Sonic.

After catching his breath he finally spoke. "You know Ms. Cream?" He asked

"Yeah she's a friend of my….uhh… friend".

"Oh" The boy sighed in relief.

"I'm sonic, Sonic the hedgehog. Who are you?"

"I'm Rocky Road the rabbit, but people call me Rocky. It's a pleasure to meet you Mister Sonic" Rocky did a bow similar to what Cream normally does.

"He's like a male Cream. Well nice to meet you, but I've got to get going.

Sonic was about to run off, but Rocky held his hand."Wait!" the brown bunny shouted

"What?" Sonic's tone was showing that he was in a rush to get home.

" Ummm well you see…. "Rocky was twiddling his fingers, looking down.

"Yes…" Sonic said waiting while taping his foot. "Spit it out already!"

"I like Ms. Cream!" Rocky quickly covered his mouth and looked around. Sonic looked at him for a moment. Rocky then sighed and looked back at Sonic. "I like her."

Sonic looked at Rocky blush a little. He couldn't help but smile at him and rub the top of his head "Well…isn't that cute? You got a little crush on her."

"Yeah…" He said shyly looking the other way. "Do you know if she has a… boyfriend?" He sifted his eyes back at Sonic.

Sonic chuckled lightly shaking his head. "Not unless you count good robots and Chao she's completely free"

Rocky smiled at Sonic and sighed out of relief. Sonic on the other hand was tapping his foot growing more impatient by the second. "You going to be much longer?" he asked

Rocky snapped back to reality shaking his head. "I'm sorry…It's just that…I've liked her for some time and I don't know what to say to her. Do you know what she likes?"

Sonic scratched his head in thought. He didn't know much about what Cream really liked so he came to the closest solution he could think of. "Well let's see… she likes flowers but…"

"Aha! So flowers it is I should get her flowers Right?" Rocky eagerly asked.

"You know an old friend told me to wait patiently for the things I want." Sonic never realized he would use a lesion taught by someone like Big the Cat. Still he was happy it was at his disposal. "So just try to see what she likes or see what you can do to make her happy?"

Rocky hummed in thought for a moment. A moment that was too long for Sonic.

"Look, I got to go. It was nice talking to you. Good bye and Good luck!" Sonic then took off in a blue blur.

"Thank you Mr. Sonic! Ok…so find out what she likes….I got it! I'll go see her tonight! I'll even bring flowers and…. ". Rocky then heard the bell ring again. "Oh no! I gotta get to class!" The teacher is going to have my head for this!

Silver's Sorrow

Back at Amy's apartment, Silver was anxiously waiting for Amy to hopefully wake up. Silver was still thinking about Tails. How he must hate him now, for making fun of his late friend. "How can he forgive me….I know I'd be mad too if someone made fun of Blaze" Silver sighed in grief "Now I have two friends mad at me…" Sliver looked around and then at Amy who was still laying down quietly. "I wonder if she has a first-aid kit somewhere" Silver got up looking around the house.

As she was laying there on the couch Amy heard Darcy's voice in her head. "Amy…Amy….It's time to wake up child. Remember what I told you to do. Cleanse the depression of your friend and let the will of Sonaura Resonance takeover"

"Yes mother"

Silver came out of the restroom. "Seriously…how is anyone supposed to find anything in this…" Sliver then saw Amy lift her head, struggling to get up. He then rushed over to her aid.

"Amy! You're awake! Are you Ok?" Her hair was over her eyes so Silver could not see them or her expression.

"Oh I'm fine. I'm just kind of tired" her tone was soft and week.

"Do you want me to get you something to drink, or maybe tend to your injuries?"

"Oh…no I'm sure Cream can do that once she gets here. Why don't you sit down? Relax a little" Amy's voice was calm and inviting.

"Well…actually I need to get going because I gotta…."

"Ohhh…" She moaned lightly "I feel kind of tired…..do you think you can stay for just a little longer until Sonic gets back?" Amy said sweetly.

"Well….alright…" Silver sat next in the couch adjacent to Amy. "While we're waiting, Why don't you tell me what's going on?" asked Amy.

Silver sighed and looked down. "I don't want to talk about it"

Amy smiled lightly, undenounced to Silver. "Oh, Come on….it can't be that horrible. Tell me all about it."

"I...hurt two people…"

"Oh?" Amy said in a curious tone.

"It all started when I came back from the future. Everything is calm now that Iblis is gone so I decided to relax a bit and hang out with Blaze. At first things were great…that is until I saw the customs of this world. All I did was whine and complain about how primitive it was. Blaze couldn't take so she kept calling me a naïve little kid. It made me feel like she thought I was stupid. But I not stupid, I just don't… I just don't know a lot about this time. So many things I haven't seen or done it it's like I'm in a different world. Then she said something I'll never forget."

"What's that.."

"Go home! I don't have time to hang out with a whiny brat. I was crushed after that….and I told her to .enjoy your primitive life style, and leave me out of it. I haven't seen her since. It's almost been a week"

"Well that's a shame…" Amy said keeping her soft week tone She was smiling as she heard the ivory hedgehog grieve. She ten clenched her stomach grunting quietly. "What about the second person?"

Sliver clenched his fist and grits his teeth. "Tails…he… felt sorry for me and took me in for a while. Then I asked him about that flower on his window seal. Then…I …said some things…about it. Then he calls me naïve and I almost hurt him, all because of my stupid anger!" Silver slams his fist on his thigh and stared to weep. "I've hurt so many people…those closest to me….A-At least I still have a girl. He doesn't have anyone anymore. What am I saying? After the way I acted…there's no way she'll want me to come back. Maybe I should go back to my own time. I wish there some way I can just go back in time and bring this "Cosmo" back to life just like Sonic did with the princess or when we brought him back." Silver was nearly on the verge of tears. He was sniffling and inhaling sharply.

Amy looked down, as she was smirking clenching both her fist. She was feeling a sensation similar to something pressing her. There seemed to be some kind of urge to do something. "You can't go back in time and save her, but you can bring her to life…Onii-Chan…"

Silver looked up with welled up eyes filled with in curiosity and hope. "Really? How?" He then wiped his face and shook his head. "Wait, what did you call me?"

Amy got up, but then fell on the ground panting. Her body began to shake and glow red violet. The urge was getting stronger and stronger. "C.C…Cry…ma…..!" Her clothes started to rip as her body was getting slightly bigger, looking slightly more mature, and more physically toned. She was growling and snarling as her body was transforming. Her finger nails ripped through her gloves reviling white claws. She then stopped shaking and let out a light sigh. Sliver walked over to Amy slowly, feeling uneasy.

"Amy?"

"I'm….so….week…Onii-Chan…." She said weekly.

"What are you saying?" Silver asked up to her. His heart dropped as he saw Amy try to stand up. She stood up with her body limping down. Amy lifted her head and then then screamed loudly when two pink bat-like wings grow out from her back. Silver was extremely shocked. Amy lowered her head and opened her now Red-violet eyes. She looked at Silver as he's quaking in fear and confusion. Amy smiled as she looked at Sliver, showing her pearly white fangs.

"Mother has a way to help you onii-chan… she has plans for all of us" She said joyfully but still in a week tone. "If you know Tails truly loves her, then she will be reborn in the name of the Radiant Darkness"

Silver was now terrified. He never knew Amy to speak that way "A-Amy, w-w-what happened to y-you?" quaked Silver. A dark, crimson aura surrounded Amy like a shroud.

"Onee-chan* will forgive you I know she will. *cough* *cough* ….Oh Onii-chan*…" Amy slowly limped over to him while Silver was stepping back. "I…feel...so week. Please…help he…"

(Onee-chan is big sister, Onii-Chan is big brother, for those who are not anime Savvy)

"A-Amy...s-stay…huh?" Sliver looked into Amy's glowing eyes. Sliver stared into her manipulative, innocent looking eyes "Don't worry…. Onii-chan…. everything will be fine" Amy continued to limp closer and closer to Silver. When she was finally up to one of his shoulders she sank her teeth in is soft, warm flesh. She started drinking his blood; Silver was just staring into space as she was drinking. Amy did her best not to take in too much blood. To stop herself, she pressed her tongue on the roof of her mouth squeezing the purple venom inside Silver's blood stream.

When she was finished, she pulled herself away from Silver as he fell to the ground. Amy lifted her head sighing in satisfaction. She then opened her eyes to look at her burn marks and scars slowly heal instantly. She looked at Sliver as his body started to glow. "Thank you big brother….now Mother will help you and your lover" She picked him up and set him on the couch. Silver began to shake and transform, and grunt as if he was in pain.

"Splendid job, my child" Once again, Amy could hear Darcy's voice in her head. "He will be fine. Be with him after he is finished when his transformation is complete. I will tell him what to do after that. Wait for your lover."

"OK Mother". Amy said obediently. She then looked at the large balcony window as a ray of sunlight shines in the room. She quickly moved to the side without walking into the light, and pulled the curtains closing off the light. Amy smiled as she saw the room slightly darker. "Much better"

Concern and Regret

It was now 5:00pm in Night Babylon. Running and jumping on the buildings was a purple female cat that had great dexterity, balance and agility. After her little fight with Silver, she has been trying to find him. Her searches lead her to this neon lit city. She was going to go she her bat friend Rouge in high hopes of finding the ivory hedgehog. They've both had their difficult times but in the end the two of them became good friends.

At Club Rouge, two hedgehogs were lying on the floor. One of them was a girl sky blue hedgehog with a sparkling blue shirt and snow blue paints. On her shoulder were two bite marks. Her transformation was just about complete. Next to her was a red-orange hedgehog with spiky hair, who also has two bite marks on his shoulder, and he was fully transformed. Rouge was sitting on the couch watching over them, and Darcy was sitting next to her. Rouge wanted to do something to pass the time. She reached over to the table for her i-paw. Darcy took notice to Rouge as she was hooking it to a speaker system.

"How about some music?" Rouge asked smiling.

"How interesting? You want to sing at a time like…AHH!" Darcy covered her ears heard the sound system at full volume playing big band music. "What is this noise?! Some hypnotic trance?!"

"No! It's just my music!" Rouge had to shout due to the high volume. She quickly turned the music down to a more suitable sound. "Oh…that's better…Sorry about that…huh" Rouge saw Darcy hiding on the side of the couch. "You alright?"

"That machine was trying to manipulate us! How could you have such a device?"

"What? You've never seen a…oh…." It then came to Rouge that Darcy was over 3000 years old. Everything around her was different around to her. Rouge had to make things accustomed to both her and Darcy. For example, many of the lights in the house were off where only a few lights, such as the lava lamps, were still on. Still somewhat covering behind the couch, Rouge chuckled a little and looked back at the hedgehogs. "So who are these two again?"

Darcy got up from the couch and walked over to the two. "These two have been in a bit of a lovers' quarrel. We are reminding them of how they love each other", said Darcy.

"And we do that by biting them? How does that work?"

"When one is bitten by us , it's natural that they find someone who loves them back. If they cannot find someone who loves them back, he or she will die." Darcy explained. "However…one who is accepted in the Cramoisi family is said to live so long as that one is chosen by the resonance. You became one only by choice."

"The what?" Rouge was confused after hearing Darcy. She had little to no idea of what the resonance was.

"Crymazon Resonance, or Sonaura is the life fore that binds our people together. With it, we can feel the conditions of our kin. Couples have an even stronger bond. When a couple is revealed, they become stronger than an army of 6,000 men, maybe more"

"Ok…" Rouge was still somewhat baffled, she wasn't sure at all what Darcy ment, but she was sure to believe Darcy. "So how does that explain me and Shadow, and the others…"

"Because the Sonaura has accepted you, it has read your heart. As it reads your heart it establishes a connection to the one you have chosen to be with"

"It can do that…even from where I am?"

"Yes…because it's everywhere. It connected you and Shadow, and has acknowledged you as one of its own"

"So is that why I'm still alive?"

"Yes, because your friend still has feelings for you. And that is also why your sister is still alive too. If her lover had not found her on time her body would be reduced to ash"

"You mean…Amy could have died? Why would you do that? If Sonic hadn't saved her…!"

"I share a connection to all of my children…..if this Sonic did not love Amy…I would not asked you to change her in the first place. I would not call myself queen if I were to put my children in danger"

"Oh…sorry"

"Do not apologize. I understand your friendship with Amy is strong, rest assured. I will put my own life on the line when it comes to members of the Crimson Claw.

"Crimson Claw?" Just now the sky blue hedgehog's transformation was now finished.

"Ah….it is time" to your new siblings. Scorch, Mist awaken. The two hedgehog eyes shot open. They got up and knelt down in front of Darcy.

"Mother….Queen of the Dark dwellers…" said the red hedgehog.

"We are your humble servants ready to serve you, Mother" the sky blue one added.

"You two are the third and fourth members of the family. Now that you have taken your first step you now can begin to rebuild what you have established in your love life. Now Rouge…meet your new brother and sister"

"Um. Hi" Rouge said a little confused."

"Hey...big sis. My name's Scorch" said the red-orange hedgehog while waving. "It's nice to meet ya!" The sky blue hedgehog walked up and bowed.

"M-my name i-is Mist" she said while shivering and hugging herself.

"Oh, you don't have to be scared hon." Rouge said patting her shoulder

"She's not.." Scorch said walking up. Mist imminently hugged Scorch cuddling up to chest. "You see her powers make her body temperature lower than normal. You know the funny thing….my powers are the exact opposite."

"Hot...and cold?" Rouge looked at Darcy.

"Opposites attract at times my dear. Just like my beloved…."

"So…warm.." Mist said hugging Scorch."

"This is so weird…" Scorch said looking at his body and flapping his new wings.

"It will take time for you to get used to the new changes, my child."

Suddenly all four sensed something coming this way. Rouge closed her eyes; she felt like her senses were more open. As she sensed the presence it felt familiar somehow. She then opened her eyes after seeing the image in the dark.

. "Mother, I think I know who' is coming…." Rouge spoke

"I know, child". Said Darcy.

"Ohhh…I can feel some warmth coming from this one …and her blood smells warm too." Mist said joyfully

"Do we turn her over too?" asked Rouge

"No….not now….your brother has just been accepted. When the time is right, he will handle her", said Darcy "But for now" Darcy made a dark purple cloud and pulled out new clothes from it. "You two, go into the guest room and put these on."

"Yes mother" The hedgehogs said in unison. As they walked to the hallway.

"I shall go too. I need to how you say…freshen up in your toilet room"

"It's called a bathroom"

"Ohh! Alright.." Darcy said walking back to the room.

Blaze had arrived at Club Rouge, She looked up and saw the flashing lights. "Huh. Classy." She walked up to the door knocking on it.

"It's open!" Rouge shouted. Blaze came in to the room. "Well if it isn't the fire princess. How are ya? "

"I've been Ok…" Blaze said a little dreary.

"You look tired. Why don't you take a load off your paws?" She said pointing at a couch.

"I took the cynic route" She sighed and sat down on the couch.

"So what brings you here, sweaty?"

"Oh you know…I'm just kind of…." Blaze was shy about telling Rouge how she felt, because of the fact that she is a princess who is taught not to show too much of her personal feelings, but she looked so devastated that she didn't even notice Rouge's eye color change. "it's..all my fault"

""What? Is your Kingdom in trouble again? Look, I had nothing to do with your missing Sol Emeralds."

"No…no…My kingdom is fine. In fact things are almost boring there" Darcy was looking at Blaze and Rouge talk while in the hallway.

"Mmmmmmm…..I can feel it….so this is the one Silver adores. A very fine young lady, and a princess no less."

"So spill. What brings you here?" Rouge asked

"Since nothing's going on around my kingdom, the council decided that I would go for some R and R. I couldn't say no…so I left my kingdom to come here. Silver's future was also calm we both bumped into each other at Eggman's amusement park in space. After that we spent most of our time together. At first it seemed great, but Silver started to complain about this time, and how it was primitive. He was doing it so much…it drove me nuts.

"What did you do?"

"I told him he should go back to his own time if he hates this one so much. I just felt like….he didn't even care about me. So I then called him a naïve little kid. I didn't mean to say that to him…I was just upset that's all. I still like him…in fact…I….I…." Blaze's voice started to crack up. "He cares about me…even before I became a princess and was his partner fighting off Iblis. His Naiveté is why I like him. I just now realized that. Blaze's eyes stated to well up." Now he probably hates me… He should...I haven't been very nice….I was just annoyed by his actions….What have I done?" Blaze started to cry Rouge came up to Blaze and tried to comfort her with a hug. Blaze was crying in Rouge's chest. "I know he whines a lot…but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about me" He probably doesn't care now, not after the way I treated him"

"No" Rouge laid her head on Blazes forehead. "He still loves you"

"Huh?" Blaze looked up and looks at Rouge's face. She looked deep in her eyes. There was something about them that made her believe. "How do you know? I haven't seen him in days!" she said tearfully.

"Because, he regrets ever doing what he said and did. All he wants to do is make amends for what he did"

"What should I do?" Blaze said looking directly into her eyes still not noticing the change.

"Give him another chance. He'll come around. Trust me…he fully understands what he needs to do. Go to him. He misses you"

Blaze stood up and wiped the tears from her face. "OK. Thank you"

"Anytime hon…now get out of here and go to your man."

Blaze nodded her head and left with some doubts on her mind but went on ahead anyway. While she was leavening the complex she felt a sharp pain in her body."Uhhhhhhh! Ahhhhh! Oooohhhhh! She groaned as she knelt down in pain. "What s….. happening?" After a while, the pain went away. Blaze got up and felt around her body. "Huh…that was awkward" Blaze then continued running to find Silver.

Searching for Eggman.

In the heart of central city, at GUN headquarters, a black hedgehog was sitting in a laboratory. Waiting for something he can save or beat up he was sitting at the desk with is head folded with is arms on the table. Next to him was a giant Red and black robot with red eyes and giant metal claws. It was once a machine who worked for the evil doctor Eggman, but was not treated with respect. But he then joined Team Dark a group who fights for GUN to stop any evil that may threaten the world.

Shadow then looked at the robot and asked him. "Omega, do you have a link to Eggman's data base. He asked

"Affirmative" said Omega.

"Can you see if he has been up to anything?" Shadow asked. Omega stood there for a minute scanning Eggman's data base. "Well….?" said shadow

"My scanners indicate that there has been no robot activity in the last 72 hours".

"What?"

"Also the last Data log that Eggman put on his computer was 96 hours. No further Data log entry available "Omega finished. "Last robotic activity location; Marble Jungle zone"

Shadow lowered his head, thinking "So that means he has been quiet for more than a week. Wait a Minute! Omega! Look up the last data entry Eggman logged on his computer"

"Affirmative. Processing Now, searching through virtual log…Data Log found. Now downloading. Omega hooks a wire to the computer on the desk. He downloads the diary log so that Shadow can get a clue on his recent activity.

" Mmmm " 'The fangs of Dark Radiance" he read.
