Sonic Legacy: Downfall
Chapter 10: Power
"Should we go and fight that thing?" Tanya inquired.
Tails shook his head, with his amused eyes locked at the gigantic ship that faced the dome. "I hate to be pessimistic, but that th…" He gasped along with the others as the ship started to shoot a bright and powerful blue ray at the dome.
Blaze backed the ship away from the dome with a quick maneuver. "We are late." She looked at her teammates. "It's over."
"What could they want from that place?" Shadow inquired while noticing that the dome started to shine.
"A weapon, maybe." Spark opined.
"Whatever it is, w…" The dome exploded and generated an odd, purple wave that hit the ship rather aggressively, making the crew to fall to the floor.
Tanya groaned. "What was that?" She got into her feet along with the rest.
Blaze reached for the console and sat down on her seat again. "They have destroyed the force field." She accelerated towards the Hanging Gardens which were now unprotected.
"What are you doing?!" Tails exclaimed. "We don't know what could possibly be there!"
"And that's exactly why we must go, Tails." Blaze replied with a calmer tone than him. "This could be a global scale threat." They entered the Gardens, getting through a dense jungle, they were glancing at the antique architecture and the mysterious edifices that revealed themselves behind the vegetation.
"Wow." Spark expressed. "This place is beautiful!"
"It reminds me of the island, certainly." Tanya added.
"So, it is no legend after all." Rogue said.
"I've seen better." Shadow crossed his arms, hiding his amusement.
"Just don't get too comfortable, guys, we must be cau…" Blaze was interrupted by the sudden amount of dark pink light that showed in front them after a noisy thunder like sound.
"Just when things were getting good." Spark said.
Blaze looked up and saw a figure flying towards the giant ship while leaving a trace of dark pink light behind it. "I'm following that thing, hold on!" She pressed some buttons of the console and accelerated upwards, maintaining the ship towards that direction with the help of the steering wheel.
Tails was grasping the wall with strength. "Wait! Slow down, slow down!" Blaze ignored him and kept going after the pink figure, she then stopped right in front of the ship.
"Mom, this time you went too far." Spark looked at her with dizzy eyes.
"Tails, your turn." Blaze looked at him. "Use your weapon like with the drones."
"Like, now?" Tails rubbed his arm.
Blaze sighed. "It could be our only chance t…" She stopped talking as the flying, pink figure started to shoot a purple light at the ship which got destroyed almost instantly after so, the sky got covered with falling debris and metal scraps surrounded by the yellow light of the explosion.
"What the...!" Shadow exclaimed, backing away slightly.
"And you wanted me to go against that?!" Tails argued.
Blaze seemed to had gotten nervous. "I…we should…" The pink figure showed itself from behind the darkness of the smoke.
"It's a person?" Spark narrowed his eyes then Blaze pressed a green button over the console and put the systems at full then flew away from the threat and headed to a ruin in the middle of the jungle. "Wait! We should get out of here, is the other way, mom!" Spark said while pointing at the back.
"I won't leave without answers." Blaze replied and landed the ship on the ground which was made of gray rock. She remained silent before standing up and heading to the door. "Ship open." The doors opened in front of her.
"You have brought us to our demise!" Shadow exclaimed. "You saw what that thing did to the ship!"
Blaze faced him. "If that wanted us dead it would have done that much earlier, Shadow." She walked down the ramp.
Tails look at Tanya. "Shall we really go?"
Tanya sighed. "Maybe she is right, hon." She followed Blaze along with the rest, the last one to exit the ship was Tails.
The six were outside of the ship, just waiting. "I can assure you, Blaze, that this was a bad idea." Shadow said.
"It destroyed the Pillar's ship, it could be actually our ally." Blaze argued.
"Or it could be a trap." Rogue opined.
"Look!" Spark exclaimed frightened as he pointed at the glowing pink figure that was approaching them quickly.
"There's no turning back, team." Blaze said.
The figure landed in front of them, having left a trace of pink light, the light that surrounded the figure vanished and revealed who it was, a female, fuschia pink furred hedgehog with pink hair whose attire consisted in a red bodysuit and a purple cape.
Blaze took a step forward and looked at her. "We come at peace, we don't want to harm you."
"I hope she thinks the same w…" Shadow hit Spark's side with his elbow, interrupting him.
Blaze kept speaking. "Who are you?"
The hedgehog took a confident step towards them. "I'm Sonia." She responded. "Sonia the hedgehog."
