The next day, Shadow was now teaching Sonic kickboxing while Silver is recovering from his wounds. Right now he was teaching him how to do a side kick and a jab punch.
"Come on Sonic, show me what you got!" Shadow said and holds his arms up to block Sonic's kicks and punches. Sonic did a front kick and Shadow blocked it. He then did a side kick at Sonic and he fell on his butt.
"Ow, you are strong for your age" Sonic said.
"Yup, being 200 years is not so bad. Physically I'm 25 years" Shadow said, helping him up. They did some practice of the bow staffs. It was very difficult for Sonic to use them and he almost got constantly hit by Shadow. But he managed to block the move from his and swipes him off from the floor.
"Whoa! Keep going kid, show me!" Shadow got up quickly and whacks Sonic's staff but Sonic didn't let go of it and keeps swiping and blocking Shadow's moves. That is until they decide to take a break. Oddly Shadow didn't even break a sweat during the training.
"What's next Shadow?" Sonic asked.
"Karate" Shadow answered.
After the break, Sonic and Shadow were dressed in karate uniforms and stands at the ring to start the practice. They bowed and began the practice, Shadow did a circular punch and Sonic blocks it with his wrist and did a jab punch. Shadow then did a Kekomi kick and Sonic groans in pain.
"Is that all you got Sonic?" Shadow taunts Sonic and does a flying front kick but Sonic does an elbow block, then doing a jab punch.
"Haha! Gotcha!" Sonic smirked.
"Oh yeah?" Shadow grinned and does a mountain punch at Sonic. But he quickly recovered and tries to punch him, but he got flipped over his shoulder and lands on his back.
"Watch your step" Shadow chuckled.
Sonic got up and stands in his fighting stance to continue the practice. He then did some blocking moves from Shadow's and then did a double punch. Then he did a butterfly kick at him but got taken down again.
"Good work Sonic, you are not bad" Shadow helped him up again.
"Yes, I got yellow belt in karate" Sonic said and shakes hands with him.
"Now, let's practice some more and then a break" Shadow said, Sonic nodded and gets into his fighting stance again.
At Silver's room, he was getting his wounds on his back treated by Blaze before going to practice.
"Hold still, Silver. This won't hurt a bit" Blaze said as she washed his wounds.
"Argh! Careful!" Silver winced at this. He sat up to get his torso wrapped in bandages again by Blaze.
"There, that should do it" Blaze said and finishes fixing his bandage.
"Thanks Blaze, you are so kind" Silver said and hugs her.
Blaze noticed that Silver got some nice abs, she got stunned at looking at them since Silver is so well-trained.
"What are you looking at Blaze?" Silver asked her.
"N-n-nothing Silver" Blaze lied.
"Oh, but let's go training shall we?" Silver said.
"Sure Silver, but be careful" Blaze said and follows him.
They got to the yard on the rooftop to start their practicing. Silver wraps an bandana on his head as he got ready. Blaze took off her jacket to reveal a tank top.
"Alright, let's start! HIYA!" Silver rushes toward Blaze and jumps above her to make a sweep-kick, but she dodges.
"Trying to knock a kitty down? You know we cats always land on our feet" Blaze smirked.
"Ha ha ha, yep" Silver laughed sarcastically and sneaks past Blaze to flip her over his head. She then lands on her hands and makes a jab punch at him. It was not serious and they block their attacks fist to fist.
Silver was quick at blocking Blaze's attacks but it was not the same with the bandage on his torso. He then circular punches her.
Blaze lands on her back from the punch and gets back up. She then does an elbow strike at him and some Monkey kung fu moves at Silver, he did a crane move and kicks Blaze after she did some blows on him. After doing the crane he helps Blaze up and she was panting after using so much energy.
"That was amazing, Silver. You really train without breaking a sweat" Blaze said.
"Yup. You were also great too" Silver said.
"Thanks, let's have a break shall we?" Silver asked her.
Blaze nodded and they walked over to the bench to have their break before the next round in training.
Blaze was having some thoughts about Silver but decides to not tell him about them, no matter what he asks.
"Silver, have you ever met a pretty girl?" she asked.
"Not yet Blaze" Silver replied.
Sonic and Amy was having a talk in Shadow's room about when Mephiles or Scourge arrives.
"Amy, I know that you are scared of Mephiles but you got to help us to fight against him. But if it cost us the life, you are our only hope" Shadow said.
"I know, but Mephiles is hard to defeat without the scepter of darkness" Amy said, looking away a little.
"Amy, Silver and I will take care of Scourge as well, but I swear I'll always stay with you" Sonic said.
"Oh Sonikku, I will be inside the bracelet and Mephiles won't take your arm for it" Amy leans to him.
"I just hope he doesn't chop off my arm" Sonic said.
"Well he will not kill his own grandson at all even" Shadow said, Amy and Sonic nodded at his words.
"Do you have a plan Shadow?" Sonic asked him.
"All we can do is wait, Sonic. If I die, take my place in the palace, if I survive everything will be alright" Shadow said.
"But Shadow, I'm just an ordinary hedgehog. I'm not worthy" Sonic said.
"Either was I, but it's my duty" Shadow said.
At the same time Amy was looking at the window with a worried look. She saw it was a rainy weather outside too.
Silver was now practicing some military training Shadow learned him. He was climbing up on a wall with Blaze and crawled through a tunnel.
"I wonder how long it took for men to let women in the army somewhere after World War II" Blaze smirked.
"No idea" Silver shrugs and gets out from the tunnel, he then jumps on the poles with her to increase the chance of balance. Blaze was jumping behind him and they landed safely on the other side. After that they practice on climbing up ropes without getting rope-burns.
"Climb a little faster, Silver" Blaze said, climbing faster.
"I am" Silver said while climbing. He reaches the top and carefully climbs down the rope. Blaze reaches as well and she saw she is 10 ft. up on the rope. She then climbs down and jumps off the rope to land on her feet. Silver was stunned by this moment.
"What?" Blaze grinned.
"Nothing" Silver snapped out of it and regains calmness.
"You were looking at how I jumped" Blaze said with a smirk.
"Uhhh…..maybe" Silver blushed.
"It's okay Silver, I've trained with my parents before I ran away" Blaze crossed her arms.
"Oh, I understand. But Blaze, have you and your parents had any good time together?" Silver asked her. Blaze then got a flashback from when she was a kid.
(Flashback)
Blaze the princess of the Sol kingdom was with her mother at the solar emerald in a chamber.
"One day you'll learn how to protect and use the Sol Emeralds, Blaze. Only our family can use them" Blaze's mother said.
"But aren't they dangerous, mommy?" Young Blaze asked.
"No no no hon, they are not for us. But remember that you may use them as a last resort in battle" Blaze's mother tells her about the emeralds.
"Ohhh, um mom, can we go and have fun?" Young Blaze asked. Her mother smiled sweetly and picks her daughter up and they both walked to the yard around the castle to have a good time together.
They played hide and seek and even tag play. This time it was Blaze who was it.
"Gotcha Mommy!" Young Blaze squealed and claps her mother's leg.
"Oh my sweet angel, come here" Her mother picked her up and hugs her.
"I love you mom" Young Blaze nuzzled on her mother's shoulder.
"I know Blaze, your father loves you as well" her mother said and hugs her again.
(End of flashback)
"My parents and I had a good time together those days"
"Wow, they sure love you" Silver chuckled.
"Yeah, they still do even with those rules they have" Blaze said with her ears down.
Silver went to her and held his arms around her waist, "I understand already Blaze. Parents can be tough sometimes"
"Silver, I really wish they weren't" Blaze said sadly.
"Oh Blaze, I understand how you are feeling. But you got a friend that really cares for you now" Silver said, rubbing her back to comfort her.
"Silver, you are my best pal ever" Blaze smiled some and looked up on his face, she hugged him back as well.
"Blaze, you are too cute when you smile" Silver chuckled some. They walk out from the training room to get to his room.
