Chapter 9 …but who will protect me?
"where is he!" shouted Blaze as she walk back and forth. Blaze and the others was outside near Tails workshop and was waiting for Sonic return from the wormhole. "he better hurry! My scanner are showing that the wormhole won't stay open for much longer!" said Flare as she walk up to Blaze. Just then, the wormhole vanish which made Blaze gasp in fear. "No! hurry reopen it!". Yuna place her hand on Blaze shoulder and spoke. "we can't Blaze. I'm sorry…". Blaze push Yuna away and fell to her knees. "no…". Everyone ran up to Blaze and tried to comfort her, while Eggman Naga watch from the distance.
Later that night
Zell, Maiev and Mia finally arrive to find Blaze on Tails rooftop. She was just staring to the night sky. They enter to find the others in the living room. "we got your message Jumper. Is it true what happen to Sonic?" ask Zell. "yeah. Sonic is gone and we can't do nothing about it but the others and I are more worried about Blaze". "…poor highness" whisper Maiev in sadness.
Meanwhile, Blaze saw Eggman Naga hovering toward her. "hello your highness". "what do you want?" order Blaze as she stood up. Naga smile as he pointed near the moon. Blaze look up and saw a golden light. "…he's waiting for you" spoke Naga as he left. "…Sonic!". Blaze transform into her burning form and took off.
"I see but who will protect you!…" echo Speeder words as Sonic floated in space. "…I'll protect everyone…" whisper Sonic as the faces of his friends flash in his mind. Sonic fur started to become blue again as his super form started to lose ring energy. "…but who will protect me…". Sonic look at the earth for the last time and slowly close his eyes. "Sonic…". "huh?". Sonic open his eyes half way and could see a female figure flying toward to him. "…that voice…Blaze!" said Sonic as he fully open his eyes. "Sonic!" cried Blaze. Sonic and Blaze hugged as they finally reach each other and Sonic super form became his burning as he kiss Blaze. "I love you, Blaze the cat" said Sonic as he broke the kiss. "and I love you Sonic the hedgehog". the two held each other hands and took off back to the earth.
The next day in Tails workroom
"are you sure Tails?" ask Sonic as he check Tails computer. "there no mistaking it. The doorway to Blaze's dimension is closing. Its going to close in seven minutes". "but why is it closing?" ask Mia. "I believe its what Eggman said before. D-space is closing dimensions, so what happen before won't happen again". "…I see but that means…" whisper Zell as he turn to Blaze and Sonic. Everyone waited for Sonic and Blaze to say something. "…its okay. We knew this day will come…right Sonic". "right" said Sonic as he use the chaos control to open a wormhole to Blaze's world on the room wall. "are you sure?" ask Breeze. Sonic and Blaze just smile which meant they was sure. Zell and Mia walk up to Blaze and bow. "so be it, your highness". "…rise". Zell and Mia stood up and wave goodbye to Sonic and the others and enter the wormhole. Maiev did the same and enter the wormhole. Marine walk up to Tails and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "…bye Tails" blush Marine. "…b-bye Marine" blush Tails as he look down. Marine walk into the wormhole and vanish. Blaze walk in front of the wormhole and turn to everyone. "…goodbye everyone…I'm happy I met all of you". Blaze then turn to Sonic and smile. "…bye…Sonic". Sonic and the others watch as Blaze enter the wormhole and vanish. Sonic walk up to the wormhole and watch it disappear. "…I think we should go guys…I believe the commander needs to be alone" said Jumper as he push everyone out of the room. As everyone left the room, Sonic collapse to his knees and pounded on the wall where the wormhole use to be. "…Blaze…" whisper Sonic as he started to cry. At that moment, Zell and the others watch as Blaze lean on the stone wall of her castle and cried her heart out. "…Sonic…".
