Chapter 13: The Kidnapping:
I am Blaze the Cat! The former princess of the Sol Dimension!
Currently, I'm thinking back to that important lesson I learned after I
first met Sonic, concerning the importance of friends. And boy does that
lesson come into play here! Both of them are selflessly helping me strengthen
my relationship with Silver, and I can't thank them enough! ...Unless I have to
put on that unflattering nightgown again!
The three girls entered the Station Square Mall. The mall was full of stores and departments, some selling clothes, some selling jewelry, some selling electronics, and even one store that sold nothing but Sonic-themed merchandise. The trio entered a store called "Fashion Fury". Rouge left the group, deciding to browse on her own. Amy took no notice of this, and was helping Blaze find something attractive for Silver to see her in. After picking out a few items, they went to the fitting rooms.
As this occurred, Sally and the robots had been scouting around the mall, tracking the girls (particularly Amy). As Amy's icon moved around the map, the trio went on the same route, ducking into clothes racks whenever Amy or Blaze looked in their direction in order to avoid being spotted.
"Ooh boy, the boss will be proud." Cubot grinned.
Sally was snickering. She could not wait to get back at Amy for "stealing" Sonic.
Meanwhile, Rouge was browsing separately from the rest of the group. She was eyeing a manikin wearing an outfit that caught her eye. The outfit consisted of a pair of black yoga pants, with the words "Back Entrance Locked! Please Use The Front!" written in all capital letters with a gold font on the backside, complete with a magenta tube top with salmon-pink accents on the sides. She was so focused on it that she did not notice Sally and the robots passing by, tracking the others. After a good 30 minutes, they finally caught up with them.
Blaze stepped out of the fitting room wearing a cropped violet-purple turtleneck and a white pencil skirt that ended above her knees. Her cheeks were a brilliant shade of red as she stepped out in front of Amy.
"Oh, perfect! Silver's going to be all over you in that outfit." Amy commented.
"Amy!" Blaze complained as quietly as she could, "Can I please take this off now? I honestly would prefer to just get more serious without having to appeal to his eyes."
Amy sighed.
"Well, we're getting it for you anyway. It's my treat for accidentally hitting you with my hammer when Eggman attacked the city. But anyways, it's my turn now." She said stepping into the fitting room next to Blaze's.
Blaze sighed.
"People are just too nice sometimes." She groaned, changing back into her usual attire.
"Alright, according to my calculations, your best way to sneak attack her is to crawl through that air vent." Orbot said, pointing to a vent just near the entrance to the fitting room area.
Sally cracked her knuckles, and climbed in. Orbot and Cubot followed. Sally peered through the vent and saw Amy below, trying to decide which of the clothes items she had picked out to try on first. Quietly, Sally opened the vent and pulled out a rope gun. After taking careful aim, she pulled the trigger. Amy was taken by surprise as she was tied up. Sally quickly dropped out of the vent and put some duct tape over Amy's mouth. Amy squirmed as she was held in place by Orbot and Cubot. Sally then pulled out a vial of neon-orange liquid and downed it in a single gulp. Then she casually walked over to the tied up Amy and gave her a small touch on the knee. Almost instantly, Sally took on a form identical to Amy, including her voice.
"I take it that you're impressed, Pinky. The Eggster lent me this potion. It grants the user the ability to take on someone's form, and perform all of that person's abilities, all by simply touching them below the waist. The ability works indefinitely, unless I take the antidote. But I don't think I'll be taking it anytime soon." Sally jeered.
Now completely disguised as Amy, she proceeded to take the engagement ring off of the real Amy's finger and place it on her own.
"Oh, and by the way, this dress makes me look fat!" Sally sneered.
The two robots then took Amy (who was wriggling in anger) into the air vent and brought her out to the back of the mall, where the escape-pod was. Loading her in, they flew back up to the Death Egg. Having successfully completed the objective, Sally proceeded to leave the fitting room.
"Hey! Why are you not wearing what you picked out?" Blaze asked.
"Oh, I decided that none of them really suited me good enough." Sally lied.
Blaze shrugged, and the two set out to find Rouge. They found her still in the section she was in, holding the outfit she had been previously looking at. The three girls paid for their items and left. Sally snickered. She was now so close to resuming her relationship with Sonic again.
