"You mean it, Blaze?" Cream asked excitedly. "You're going to go talk to Silver and make up?"
Blaze nodded nervously. "Yes! If what you are saying to me now is true, then I'm willing to make things right with him!"
Cream jumped up and down happily with Cheese flying around her in joy.
"Oh Blaze! Silver is going to be so happy when you tell him you love him!" the young rabbit stated.
"I just hope he says it first…" Blaze muttered with a grin. This made them both laugh.
"So, if you're ready, then let's go! I can't wait!" Cream grasped Blaze's hand and ran out of the apartment in a huge hurry.
"Cream, slow down! I'm still really tired, and running takes a lot out of me when I'm tired!" Blaze whined as Cream continued to drag her along down the road to her mother's house.
"I'm sorry, but I'm so excited!" Cream replied, hopping and skipping now instead of running.
"I can tell…" Blaze laughed at the younger girl.
"So when are you guys gonna get married?" the rabbit asked randomly.
"M-Married? Oh Cream, it's way too early to be asking something like that!" Blaze answered breathlessly. Although she never thought about marrying Silver, she began to wonder what life would be like if she did.
As Cream continued to pull her along behind her, the cat smiled about being together with Silver. She then knew that making up with him would be the best thing to do to keep their friendship forever.
Suddenly, Cream stopped, causing Blaze to bump into her roughly.
"I'm sorry, Cream. Why did you stop?" she asked quickly. The rabbit couldn't answer her. Instead, she pointed with a shaking finger at what she saw. Blaze followed the direction of the pointed finger with her eyes and fear struck her when she spotted it.
It was Eggman with his latest creation: The Egg-Master.
"B-Blaze!" Cream whispered with fright. "That's the robot that defeated Sonic and the others!"
Blaze didn't answer. In fact, she quit breathing when Eggman seen them both staring at him.
"Ah, how nice to see you, Cream and Blaze!…And you too Cheese!" the evil doctor greeted them with a sick and twisted smile.
Cream pulled Cheese into a protective hug, as Blaze did the same to them. "What are you doing here?" she hissed.
"What? Can't stop by in the neighborhood to visit a few friends?"
"What friends?"
"Why, I wanted to see if Sonic and the others are recovering well! I miss battling those little pests!" Eggman laughed cruelly.
"I figured that since you've defeated them, you would leave them alone. You got what you wanted, didn't you?" Blaze asked.
"Actually, I didn't get what I wanted." Eggman replied.
The two girls fell silent.
"What…did you want?" Cream wondered."I wanted Sonic and his friends dead!" Eggman replied harshly. "I created this robot to finally rid them forever. And today, I'm going to accomplish the job."
"Not with me around, you won't!" Blaze stood in a fighting pose. "Your not getting near them while I'm around!"
Eggman turned his robot around. "Oh really? And how do you propose to think that when Sonic couldn't even beat me? And with the help of his friends?"
Blaze swallowed nervously. He was right.
"I have my ways…" she replied through clenched teeth.
"Then prepare to meet you doom, princess!" the doctor activated his robot and the fight was on.
…...
Silver woke up again when he heard voices around the room. Vanilla was reading a magazine while Sonic was talking with Knuckles and Shadow on the couch. Tails was asking something to Vanilla, in turn she came back with another aspirin for him. Silver guessed that he still wasn't feeling well.
The hedgehog stretched and yawned, then gasped.
He could see out of both of his eyes! Although his sight was still grayish from being colorblind, he was finally able to see with a touch of color!
"I'm not blind anymore!" he smiled and threw his hands up in the air.
"Good for you, Silver." Sonic replied. Shadow and Knuckles responded as well by nodding their heads.
When Silver decided to try and stand up, he managed to stand on his own. His powers were finally coming back from being in shock, so now, if he wanted to, was able to get around on his own. Of course his leg wasn't fully healed, but he was able to walk without having anyone help him.
The psychic hedgehog limped over to the other three to join in on the conversation. Tails was walking right behind him.
"Hey fox boy!" Silver smiled. "Feeling any better?"
"A lot better than before, thanks for asking." Tails replied with a small smile.
As the group talked, Silver heard Vanilla's phone going off. He watched as the older rabbit ran to get her cell phone. He also watched how the expression on her face changed dramatically as she talked.
"S-Sonic, turn the TV on to the news. Cream is on the phone, but she was breaking up. All I heard her say was to turn on the TV." Vanilla instructed in a small panic before trying to talk to her daughter.
Obeying the adult, Sonic grabbed the remote and turned the TV on to the news.
As the station slowly came on, a news reporter was speaking live from a helicopter."This just in, Dr. Eggman, evil genius, is back in town to fight off his number one enemy Sonic the Hedgehog." the reporter started, focusing the camera down to Eggman and his famous robot.
"Oh man, I thought this was over…" Knuckles sighed as he leaned back angrily.
"Shh, there's more!" Shadow silenced his rival as he turned the TV up to listen.
"But it appears to be that a friend of Sonic's has taken her ground to fight off this robot. Police have tried to help, GUN has volunteered, but this robot has prevented us from helping at all."
"That's Blaze!" Sonic gasped. At the sound of her name, Silver shoved Sonic out of the way to see the TV. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Vanilla came running in. "Eggman has Cream and Blaze is fighting him!" she cried.
"We know! It's on the TV!" Tails replied, frightened to where his fur stood up straight. He couldn't stand the thought of Cream getting hurt.
"I'm not letting him hurt Blaze!" Silver declared as he narrowed his eyes.
"But Silver! You remember our last battle! We're still recovering from it! We can't fight him again because if we do, we might actually die!" Tails brought up the previous battle.
"I don't care! I'll risk my life for Blaze's and if you all care about them too, then you will join me." Silver hollered loudly.
"I've got your back, Silver!" Sonic dipped his head and stood next to his friend. "Who else is coming?"
Unfortunately, nobody else seemed to want to come. They kept their mouths closed and stood staring at the two hedgehogs.
"Fine! We can handle this on our own, then!" Silver ran over to the door to leave, with Sonic behind him. As Silver ran out of the house, Sonic looked back his friends, who stared at them as they left, and glared at them.
The thought of fighting the Egg-Master again made Silver tremble all over as he and Sonic ran to the sight where Eggman was fighting Blaze.
What if he will die? What would Blaze think then?
What if he'll become blind again?
He was sure that Eggman knew that he made him blind for a couple days. And he also knew that Eggman wouldn't be afraid to do it again.
Silver shook these thoughts out of his head as they arrived at the scene.
He couldn't be afraid to fight now. He had to fight for Blaze, even if it was worth his life.
He would not back down….He will not back down…
A/N: So, Silver is fighting to save Blaze's life from the life threatening robot that brought them together in the first place. How will this all turn out? Next chapter shall be up soon! Please review!
