I call that official game cut-scene, the "censored" version.
Now enjoy. Thank you for reading.
"Chaos Emeralds, lend me your power." I began with my voice steady and clear, ready to perform the ritual and seal this demon forever.
"In the name of the eternal sun, the living flame that has been entrusted to the royal family," I cried out next. My voice is strong, my heart is pounding in my chest, and I no longer fear this fiery demon before me. The power of courage has swept away my terrors, and I am a reborn warrior, ready to take on the burden of death if necessary. For my work, is to save the future.
"Fall into slumber with my soul Iblis, you cursed flames of disaster! No longer shall you torment this land with your poisonous existence."
And with the phrase said in line, I offer the two chaos emeralds in my hands. The offering is now ready, and my soul is opened up to the devil before my eyes. The vortex of flame continues to spiral hopelessly around, refusing to enter at first. The emeralds flare with beauty in my palms, and the entire stone ledge that we are standing on is lit with brilliance. Blaze is behind me, watching me in awe, but apprehensively glancing at Iblis, fearing what is to come next.
And at this crucial moment, the shards of Iblis begin to enter my soul just as planned. I forcefully accept the sudden deluge of fiery specters, but as much as I offer them to enter my breast, the power of Iblis seems to refuse my proposed coffin. The spirals of flames continue to taunt me and encircle me in their flight. And to retaliate, I feel a painful sensation up my spine suddenly. It's Iblis, and that's his simple way of telling me, "No." While the two emeralds continue to shine feverishly, I scream and cry out in pain as I feel the flames reject my body.
"Agghhh!" I cried out painfully. Blaze is still standing behind me, but she is terrified, not able to bear witness to my suffering.
"Silver!" she shouts out to me. I hear her running up behind me, but I turn my head around, giving her a forceful glare to not touch me. "Please, stop!" she begs me, "It won't take you."
"But why?" I lividly growl at her. "Why won't it accept me as its vessel?"
The pain exacerbates, and a burning sensation is felt in my throat, like I am swallowing a lit piece of coal. My hearing is beginning to fade, and I can no longer feel the weight of my head, almost as if I could fall over any minute. I hear Iblis swarming in my head, screaming back at me in pain too; he is suffering to resist me.
My knees are now beginning to buckle, and all of my weight seems to be transitioned to my shoulders. Even though there's nothing hanging on me, I feel as if there is an iron cross hanging on my frail back like I'm about to be nailed onto a wall.
And with all of this imaginary pain bleeding through my quivering body, I feel a gloved hand wrap around my shoulder. My head instinctively jolts to the side and I see Blaze folding her arm around me. Why is doing this? She should not be touching me.
"Blaze," I beseeched her in a soft voice through my burning agony. "Let me do this!"
"I'll take Iblis." she asserted boldly to me. I could not believe what I heard, and my ears went erect to hear more.
"Don't worry," she said to me looking down at the two emeralds in my palms, "My soul is already lit with flames." Before I could even object to her audacity, she placed her hand over one of the Chaos Emeralds, covering my right hand in the process. "I will be accepted." she calmly assured me, but I swiped her hand away angrily, keeping the emerald to myself.
"You're crazy!" I yelled at her with fury, upholding my dominance as the hero, "You're not doing this, I am! Now get away from me."
And without warning, Blaze ambitiously tackled me, but it wasn't potent enough to cause me to fall over. I fought her back, and our hands flailed to grip at each other's throats like a mad fight. What she did gain, however, was when her two silky hands lashed out and swiped both of the emeralds away from me when my grip loosened. With the gems in her hands, she then vulgarly pushed my aside, and stood in my place to make the offering. This all quickly happened within a second, but I was not willing to accept defeat yet. I charged up to her from behind, wanting to grip her by the collar and throw her off to the side, but then I realized, and stopped halfway through my charge against her. My head is pounding, and I refused to face the inevitable truth as I stared at Blaze holding the emeralds; she is, indeed, the only one Iblis would accept.
She crossed her arms, and the Chaos Emeralds glowed. All at once, the flames flew into her. This time, the flow seemed to be steady.
"Come on, make it quick!" she commanded as she was being entered. "Use your Chaos Control… to stop time! Then… seal us into a different dimension!" I could not believe what I was hearing.
"No…" I mumbled timidly and shaking my head; I now realize what my female companion is about to do, and I refuse to let her take such an onerous fate. "I-I can't do that to you. I would never!"
"Didn't we already go through this?" she yelled, turning her head to glare at me. There she is, the one of true strength and hope, standing before me before her departure. She is strong, and beautiful, with courage like those willing to fight for the truth. "We agreed to save the world—at any price." she shouted out reminding me of what we said before. I stared down at his hands with guilt, not understanding why I had upheld such a cold oath, even if it meant a sacrifice of my amity with Blaze.
"I-I can't." I wearily replied. "I wouldn't know what to do without you." I felt like a traitor now, surrendering my friend's life in exchange for the banishment of the living devil. I remind her heatedly in an attempt to bring her back to her senses again, "You've always fought alongside me Blaze, working to make the future right."
There is a slight pause, and only the furious sounds of Iblis entering Blaze's soul could be heard. I see Blaze pondering, and the internal pain of departure is beginning to assimilate her bitter mind.
"You're my friend, right?" I slowly asked her in my final words. She turns around, and stares me deep into my golden eyes while I look into her bittersweet look.
"You're still so naïve…" she scowls at me after the silence. My heart drops, not believing how cold she has become. I look up to meet her dry expression, but then I see something in the corner of her eye. Yes, I am sure of it: It is droplet glimmering from the light of the flames, and it rolls down her white muzzle. I am astounded, and realize that she is beginning to cry. My mouth is now gaping, not believing it.
"But… I… I've always liked that about you…" she said as her cold facade disappeared. More tears are beginning to form, and she is crying profusely now. My companion does not want to leave either, and now I can sense her beginning to regret her preliminary decision to sacrifice herself. We stared at each other with longing thoughts, but we could not reveal any of them, for the end is inevitable. I look down at the two chaos emeralds in Blaze's palms, and the light in the gems is beginning to wane, telling that my last sweet moments with Blaze are coming to imminent fruition.
Blaze could see this too, and she let out a painful sigh as she stepped backwards, and readied herself to be taken forever. She waved to me slowly, and turned around, facing what's left of the fiery Iblis. She stands there, hopeless, but prepared to meet her end. I stare down at her backside, and realize how beautiful she is again.
I looked back into my memories, and thought hard about the definitions of love. There is something missing, something important, that I am blindly forgetting about. And after searching for six years, I've finally found it.
Without any hesitation now, I feel the courage sweep into my body, and I rush towards Blaze. My boots pound against the gravel on the cliff, and I make my final charge towards her. She hears my rapid footsteps and she turns around just in time for my attack. My fingers grip her shoulders, and I pull her hips towards mine, letting out a surprised 'mnph!' from her. I intertwine my legs with hers while we're still standing, and I trap her footwork under my boots, hindering her from escaping my grip. Our chests are touching, and I can feel her rapid heartbeat while she feels mine, and she tensely stares into my eyes with a terribly confused look as our noses touch. She twitches, but I hold her, and now her gaze is lost into mine, while mine is lost into hers. We stare first, and that's when I tap my forehead against hers, then with my mouth moving up close against her furry ear. I feel her body quivering against my chest, and she lets out a couple of jagged breaths as she felt my hot breath travel the insides of her ear.
And with emotional bliss, I finally admit my feelings to her, after six years have gone by.
"I-I love you, Blaze."
It was like something finally broke between the two of us; we finally became true lovers. With that said that at last, I pull her muzzle to mine, and our soft lips touch.
"Silv-!"
Blaze's eyes are wide open at first, but after the first phases of delicate contact, she closes her eyes and falls into emotional bliss. I taste her on the outside, but demand for more when my tongue aggressively pushes forward and makes its way through her closed mouth. My eyes then close, and I focus on savoring what I could. I hear her moan in delight as she seems to be enjoying the delicacy of my tongue rubbing on hers. And as she always prefers, she liked being played with and kept me as the aggressive one. This time I groaned as I slowly devoured her; her lips had a certain addictive taste to them with an utterly delicious flavor that I couldn't resist, no matter how much my mind was trying to keep me restrained.
We are both in a desperate need of a breath, and we suddenly, but gracefully pull away from each other. Blaze is panting out loud, and I could feel her heartbeat pounding in excitement through me hold on her. My own fluffy chest was touching her breasts, and I did not want to let go of my sweetheart now. Through my own panting, Blaze looked at me with awe, and then smiled with her true beauty.
"Silver…." she said my name slowly with a seductive tone. I timidly smile back, but realize the chaos emeralds are about to go out. Our time is up.
And unexpectedly, Blaze points something out that I wouldn't believe. I always thought that I would be a person of no sentiment, and having emotions was something I never possessed in my heart.
"You're crying too Silver."
My finger comes up, and I notice that my vision is somewhat blurry now, like there's something is in my eye. I am about to quickly brush it off, but then Blaze's hand comes up first, and dogmatically pushed my hand aside wanting to do the honor. And indeed, I feel something wet rolling down my muzzle as Blaze gently strokes the corners of my eyes.
Perhaps I am crying after all.
The chaos emeralds go out, and the cycle is complete. I tighten my grip on Blaze while she tightens hers on me. We refuse to be pulled apart from each other, but I still feel her getting light nonetheless.
"Blaze." I mutter to her as we make our final words.
"Yeah Silv?" she says with her muzzle rubbing against my neck.
"I-I'll miss you."
"Me too." She quickly replies. "T-The truth is—" Her body is now beginning to float, and I see her color beginning to fade, like she is becoming a transparent ghost without a body.
"—I wouldn't know what to do without you either." she finally admitted. With that said, I lost my grip on her. Her soul is now assimilated and she is completely intangible to my grip.
She lifted her head and the last of the flames began to swirl faster, now disappearing forever. A purple light surrounded her as she dropped the Chaos Emeralds and she began to rise even higher into the sky.
I held my hand out as I watched Blaze slowly vanish from my sight in horror.
"Blaze!" I cried out almost desperately. She is still weeping too, but eventually gave a wry smile through her bitterness.
"I-I love you Silver…" she chocked at last. "Good luck."
I fell to my knees, and I felt like my stomach just dropped out of my body. There was a brilliant flash in the sky and rays of sunlight began to peek through the virtually impenetrable cover of clouds. The sky transitioned from a dark bloody red, to a gentle crisp blue…the color that it should have always been. The clouds parted, and I could see the full sun radiate its light everywhere. Everything around me is lit beautifully, and I could hear a distant symphony play its songs of rejoice as the future is now safe. My knees begin to bleed from the gravel digging into my skin, but that is pain is nothing compared to the fresh wound in my aching breast.
All she left behind were those two chaos emeralds, lustrous and azure.
I never found love again after that.
