Chapter 7: Fighting For What's Important
Silver was falling. Falling, falling, falling. Everything around him was a blur and his entire body felt weightless. Am I dead? Silver couldn't really think of any other explanation, though something in his gut told Silver to look up. Glancing upward, Silver saw a net that was cut on the bottom. Wait, a broken net? Silver wasn't dying; Blaze had cut open the net! Silver quickly looked down and just before he hit the floor, used his powers to soften his landing. He heard someone land next to him and turned to see Blaze, her eyes shone and she gave him a sad smile.
"Silver…" Blaze whispered. Their eyes met and a storm of emotions clashed between them.
"Blaze, I-'' Boom! A rocket exploded right in front of them, breaking the moment and making Silver and Blaze both roll to opposite sides.
"So Blaze," the doctor said , a rocket launcher in his hands. "I see you have made a decision. Too bad it was the wrong one!" the wicked doctor fired again, aiming for Blaze who dodged it at the last minute. Blaze spun around and threw a ball of fire right at him who immediately dropped the weapon. When the flames finally died, nothing but a pile of ashes laid before him.
"Arrrrrgh!" roared. "You will pay for your betrayal! Also, that was my favorite rocket launcher so you'll pay for that too!" He spun around and clicked two buttons, when he turned back, an evil grin was glued to his face.
"Allow me to introduce you to two of my friends." Two shapes began to take form. Both were huge but were extremely different in every other characteristic. One was very ,very tall and yellow with gleaming green eyes. Two huge hammers stood where hands should've been and a spiked tail sat curled at the robots feet. The other robot had eight tentacles like an octopus and its eyes were as black as night. Both robots stood, ready for battle. The evil doctor chuckled.
"Octobot, Hammeroid, attack!" Both robots lurched forward. Hammeroid going in Silver's direction and Octobot going to Blaze. Silver gasped as Hammeroid swung at him and managed to duck right before the huge hammer hit him. Hammeroid swiped at Silver again who quickly rolled forward and lifted himself into the air. Hammeroid immediately began hitting everywhere, Silver just managing to avoid the blows. The giant robot roared in frustration and brought both of his hammers down. Silver closed his eyes, waiting for the hammers to smash him but they never did. A huge ball of fire hit Hammeroid squarely in the chest, making the robot stumble backwards. Silver gave a thankful nod to Blaze before quickly moving to avoid a hammer angrily being swiped at him again.
Blaze was getting tired. The octopus like robot continued to fire blasts of water at Blaze who could hardly dodge them. Octobot fired another stream of water which Blaze met with her fire. Both forces collided, making both Blaze and Octobot fly in opposite directions. Blaze got up tiredly, turning when she heard a large sound to her left. Hammeroid had trapped Silver in a corner, ready to smash him. Immediately, Blaze sent a ball of fire in the robots direction, hitting him and making the robot fall down. Silver nodded at her graciously before flying into the air. Something slimy grabbed Blaze's ankle making her look down. Octobot had got up and had grabbed a hold of Blaze. Blaze shrieked as she was thrown up into the air, preparing to hit the wall. She gasped as Silver caught her in midair and their eyes met.
"Silver, we'll never defeat the robots alone," Blaze said breathlessly, her heart sinking when she saw that both robots were up again, ready to fight. Silver nodded.
"We'll have to work together," he said confidently. Blaze landed behind Hammeroid, blasting him with fire. Hammeroid turned around quickly, finding Silver who was hovering near Octobot. Hammeroid charged aiming to hit Silver who moved away at the last minute. Instead, the hammer came down on Octobot who turned on Hammeroid angrily. Octobot wrapped his tentacles around one of Hammeroid's hammers and pulled, the hammer flying in the air and landing in pieces on the floor. Hammeroid turned and started smashing Octobot who squirted blasts of water at him. In seconds, both machines were in pieces on the ground, oil pooling onto the floor.
"We did it," Blaze said, her eyes shining. She smiled at Silver who happily smiled back.
"NOOOOO!" Silver and Blaze both turned quickly to see the doctor kneeling on the ground, looking at his broken inventions. He turned, fixing his eyes on Silver and Blaze. His eyes burned with hatred and revenge. "No one messes with me!" He pulled something from his belt and turned, holding a gun. And before anyone could do anything, he fired, a powerful blast of white light going straight toward Silver. Time seemed to slow down. Silver stared at the white light coming towards him, unable to move. He glanced at Blaze for what he knew would be for the last time, his eyes brimming with love. Blaze looked back at him, tears streaming down her face. And then she jumped. Pushing Silver out of the way, the white light hit Blaze, Silver watched in horror as Blaze fell to the ground not moving.
"Blaze!" Silver sobbed holding her limp body in his arms. The doctor laughed.
"Now I can finish both of you," he said, pointing the gun again and firing. Silver grabbed Blaze and jumped into the air, the white light flying past him and hitting a large gray box.
"No!" the evil doctor cried. "That box is highly explosive, this whole place is gonna blow!"The evil doctor turned around and quickly hit a button which catapulted the doctor into the air and out a window. Silver flew into the air and out the same window, the night breeze making Silver shiver. He flew as fast as he could, 's building exploding behind him. Silver looked down. His heart seemed to stop beating when Blaze weakly opened her eyes, she opened her mouth to talk but no words came out.
"Save your energy Blaze, I'm taking you to a hospital. You're going to get better," Silver's voice cracked and a tear chugged down his cheek. Blaze shook her head and wiped the tear of off Silver.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you Silver," Blaze said, her voice no louder than a whisper. Silver opened his mouth to say something but Blaze put a finger to his lips.
"But I want you to know that these last few days that you've been here have been the best days of my life and that you coming back is the greatest gift of them all." Blaze put a hand to her throat where a heart shaped necklace sat. Silver's mind stopped working when he realized it was the heart he had given Blaze for Christmas, she had never taken it off, she had never stopped loving him.
"Thank you Silver. Thank you for being here, my life feels complete." Blaze sighed, her breathing becoming slower and slower. Silver's heart beat rapidly and the fear that he might lose Blaze finally kicked in.
"No Blaze, no, hang in there, you're not dying, everything is going to be okay." Silver was trying to comfort Blaze with those words but felt like the words were comforting him more than her. Blaze gave a weak smile and placed both of her hands on her heart.
"Blaze, keep your eyes open. Look at me," Silver begged her, feeling like her eyes were the only thing that could keep him calm at this point. Her eyes met his and the world seemed to stop spinning.
Blaze gave one more strong deep breath and closed her eyes.
