Blaze the Cat: Monster Outbreak

Chapter17: The End of an Adventure...(Finale: Part 1)

The ship had sailed as fast as it could go through the calm night. Blaze had directed the captain to go to Magma Island and head north past it. There is a small island 20 miles away from the Sol Kingdom Island. So, Blaze had ordered the captain to travel to the island so that she and Kathy could fly the rest of the way to the kingdom. She wanted Marine and her crew to be safe while she and Kathy go fight Battra at the kingdom. Also, she had a bad feeling in her gut that it will be a dangerous battle for some reason or another. She didn't know what it is though, but she knows that it must be big. Something...terrible.

As Blaze waits for the ship's arrival to the small island, she is currently standing near the railing at the front of the deck of the ship. She had her hands on the white railing while she calms her nerves down to prepare herself for a tough fight.

It'll be okay. Kathy will protect me, and I'll stop Battra with her. Nothing bad will happen. Just settle down, Blaze. Everything will definitely be okay. Blaze pondered as she closed her eyes while breathing deeply.

"The night sky sure is beautiful, huh, Blaze?" Kathy said calmly as she stepped up next to Blaze and put her hands on the railing too.

"Ah! Kathy! Don't scare me like that!" Blaze exclaimed in surprise as she jumped a little and looked at Kathy in annoyance.

"What got you so jumpy? There is nothing here that would scare you," Kathy replied with a confused look as she stared at Blaze.

"Ngh! I...I know that! It's just...(Sigh)…...I'm just feeling anxious about our final battle with Battra. Who knows what he is planning? He could pull a nasty trick on us, and we wouldn't be any wiser to avoid it! I'm...I'm just nervous is all," Blaze replied honestly before she sighed and looked out into the ocean again.

Kathy's face looked concerned as she stares at Blaze. She then gently places her hand over Blaze's as a way to comfort her. Blaze's attention went back to Kathy as she felt Kathy's hand on top of her own. She could see Kathy smiling gently at her in a comforting way.

"Blaze...It's going to be okay. I understand that you're worried about how this battle will go, but that is why we're planning to fight him together. Battra is very powerful, but he is no match for us if we work together. I'll protect you during that fight. Don't worry about it. Relax, Blaze," Kathy replied in a soft tone as she tries to console Blaze.

Blaze stared at Kathy in a stunned way. She then felt herself calming down after hearing those comforting words. Blaze felt a little at ease of herself after that. "Th-Thank you, Kathy. I needed that," Blaze thanked Kathy with a nod of her head.

"Hey...Anytime, Blaze," Kathy replied with calm smile as she looked at Blaze. Kathy then lifted her hand and then gently rubbed Blaze's arm for a bit in assuring manner. Blaze smiled a little as she saw this caring gesture. Kathy then took her hand off of Blaze and placed it back on the railing again. She then looked out into the night sky. There were still stars in the night sky with several clouds too. Kathy smiled brightly as the night sky looked beautiful to her. Blaze also stared into the night sky with Kathy.

I guess I must agree with Kathy here. This is gorgeous to look at. It's also peaceful. I suppose that I should milk this in before the final battle starts. Blaze pondered as she stared at the night sky with a smile.

"Hey, Blaze?" Kathy said while staring in the night sky.

"Yes? What is it, Kathy?" Blaze asked as she stared in the night sky too.

"When you do get your kingdom back, I would suggest that you should try to get closer to Marine and to your people," Kathy replied with a gentle smile.

"Huh? Get closer? What do you mean by that?" Blaze asked in confusion.

"Well...I meant getting closer as friends. I think it is important to know what the people's needs are when ruling a kingdom. How else would you take care of your kingdom if you don't know your people well?" Kathy explained patiently.

"I...Huh?" Blaze replied in surprise and confusion. I...I had been ruling this kingdom for over four years, and this is the first time I'm hearing of this. …...Then again, that is a very good point. Maybe I don't know my people all that well. It would be great to get closer to Marine as a friend. I'm sure that she'll be happy about that if I go through with this. But still, how would I ever get the chance to do that when my duties need to be fulfilled? Blaze pondered as she closed her eyes in deep thought.

"It would be a nice change of pace for Marine especially. I'm sure that she'll be happy if you came to visit her just to play with her. It's never too late to have stronger connections to your friends and to your servants and guards, Blaze. I'm sure that they will appreciate your efforts into knowing them a bit better. Who knows? Maybe you could make it into your new family," Kathy continued with a peaceful expression on her face.

"...!" Blaze was surprised when Kathy said "new family". She then turned to look at Kathy with a shocked expression. You know...I never even considered my kingdom to be my home or even a place to have a new family. I guess I'll admit that my servants and my guards are the closest thing to being my new family. They had always taken care of me in their own way. It may be their jobs to serve me, but I could sense that they do care for me much more beyond their jobs. Hmmm...perhaps I could try to get closer to them when I do get back to my kingdom. However, there is still one obstacle that is preventing me from doing that. Blaze pondered as she stared at Kathy in silence.

"But...Kathy...I can't do that. My job...as a princess and as a guardian...those duties should be my top priority. That's...That's just how it is in my kingdom," Blaze replied as she looked down towards the sea before her.

Kathy then looked at Blaze with a smirk as she then challenged her by saying, "Is it really then? Does it really had to be that way? Or...could that sort of thing change?".

"Wait. What?" Blaze replied in confusion as she stared at Kathy again.

Kathy grinned wider as she explained, "Heh. You heard me. Of coarse, it could change. After all, you're the princess of your own kingdom. You get to be the one who enforces and changes the rules. You don't need to follow the rules that your father had followed in his time as king. You can make up your own rules that you feel strongly about and follow them instead. You're the one in charge of your kingdom. And I think it's about time for you to finally act as one. Take it from me, Blaze. The Queen of the Monsters doesn't follow any rules that others enforce onto Her. Because She is the one who makes up Her own rules. And I believe that you can too". Kathy then ended her speech with a wink.

Blaze was stunned by Kathy's advice. She had never heard this line of reasoning before. She had always been strict on following the rules. She never had even thought of being the one enforcing the rules. She's...She's right. The law and rules had always changed over time, and this is no different. Hmmmm...to be the one who enforces the rules...Maybe Kathy really is onto something there. Perhaps...a change will be necessary after all. Heh. "The Queen of the Monsters doesn't follow any rules that others enforce onto Her" eh? Spoken from a true Queen herself. Blaze pondered as she then smiled at Kathy.

"You know what, Kathy? …..I couldn't said it any better myself," Blaze replied with a determined smile.

"Hehehe! I'm glad, Blaze. I'm glad that you're willing to take my advice," Kathy replied with a giggle and a bright smile.

"And I'm glad that you told it to me, Kathy. Thank you. I'll consider it when I get back. I'm very grateful for your advice, Kathy. I promise that I won't let your words be in vain. I'll change...you'll see. I'll change. Next time you see me, you won't even recognize me," Blaze replied with a smirk.

"Heh. I can't wait," Kathy replied with a smirk of her own. The girls keep on staring for a while before Marine just yelled.

"Hey! You two! We're only got five more miles left before we reach the small island! Are you two ready to go?!" Marine yelled as she stood next to the captain at a higher deck from the main deck.

Blaze and Kathy turned their heads to Marine and replied, "Yes, we are!".

"Then get ready girls! You two are on your own! Good luck and be careful out there! We'll be watching you guys at the small island! We'll be cheering you on!" Marine yelled enthusiastically.

Blaze and Kathy nodded to Marine and then looked at each other. They smirked as they felt prepared to finish this adventure once and for all.

"Let's do this!" Blaze and Kathy yelled in unison with big smiles on their faces.

-Near Sol Kingdom Island-

As the ship had arrived on the small island, Kathy already took Blaze into the sky. She was then seen flying very fast towards Sol Kingdom Island. Marine and her crew watched Blaze and Kathy fly towards the island while on the beach. Marine was excited as she was cheering the girls on at the sidelines.

"Go Blaze! Go Kathy! You can do this! Woohoo!" Marine cheered happily. The crew just shrugged and joined in the cheering too.

"Go Blaze! You can save us!" said one koala bear.

"Go Kathy! You got this!" said another koala bear with a straw hat.

"You two can do it! I believe in you!" said a koala bear with the glasses.

"Show those monsters what for, Blaze! You show them who's boss!" said the Viking polar bear as he raised his fists in the air.

The cheering went on for a while.

Meanwhile, Kathy flew through the night sky, feeling determined to stop Battra with his plans. She was flying through the sky, getting closer and closer to the island. When she saw the island, she was alarmed at what she found.

"What the-?! More Battra monsters?!" Kathy yelled in shock. Blaze also looked shocked by how many Battra monsters were on the island and in the air. There were both Larva Battra and Adult Battra monsters surrounding the island. The Adult Battra monsters take after the original Battra than its descendant. The Adult Battra monsters are huge as they are 20 feet in height. The Larva monsters are the same height as the adult version. Kathy and Blaze could tell that Battra isn't messing around this time.

"What are we going to do?" Blaze asked as she felt nervous again.

"Don't worry. I know how to handle this. Just watch," Kathy calmly replied with a smile. She then took out a white Sol Heart and then used her Sol Gems to create a gold necklace on that heart. Once the necklace was formed, she placed it over her neck and commanded the Sol Gems to turn them invisible.

"Of coarse! Invisibility! Great thinking, Kathy!" Blaze exclaimed with a smirk as her confidence returned to her again.

"Yeah! Now let's make a nice greeting to Battra!" Kathy exclaimed with confidence as she looked back to the island. She flew even faster towards the island as she is ready to attack the monsters.

The Adult Battra monsters were busy flying in the air without suspecting Kathy's presence nearby. Suddenly, one of the Battra monsters got attacked by yellow energy beams. The Battra monster had sparks coming from its body and wings. The monster roared in shock.

GYYYYRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

More energy beams hit the other flying Battra monsters. Even more sparks had come off from their bodies and wings. After sustaining damage from the energy beams, the flying Battra monsters felt angry at their attackers and started to attack back by firing their purple eye lasers out of their eyes. Purple lasers are fired out through the dark sky. Kathy quickly dodged the lasers by flying downwards to avoid them. The Adult Battra monsters flew away from the island to try to find their attacker. They keep on firing their lasers while Kathy makes a counterattack to each monster. Kathy then flew up from under one of the flying Battra monsters and punched right through its body by using her Sol Gems. The punch was strong enough to leave a hole through the monster's body. The monster immediately exploded into dark particles after sustaining critical damage to its body.

Meanwhile, the other Battra monsters didn't notice as they kept on flying forward and attacking with their eye lasers. Kathy then flew over them and used her energy beams to attack their backs and wings. The flying Battra monsters cried in pain as they were hit by the energy beams. The monsters tried to move side to side to dodge the energy beams. Kathy also moved to side to side in the air to tail the monsters from behind. While she kept on firing her energy beams, she flew down towards each of them to punch each of them. She punched one of the Battra monsters while firing her energy beams at another Battra monster. She punched the Battra monster very hard so that she left holes through the monster. That Battra monster also exploded into dark particles. She then quickly flew to another monster and started to punch that monster very hard too. Before the Battra monster could react, it soon exploded into dark particles after being punched through several times in the thorax and the wings. The other Battra monsters were destroyed due to being hit by the energy beams several times. The remaining Battra monsters roared to each other monsters telling them scatter to escape the unknown attacker.

They soon separate by going to the left direction and the right direction to try to avoid the intruder's attacks. Kathy decided to follow two Adult Battra monsters on the right. The other two Adult Battra monsters then turned towards the island to go call out to their leader and warn him of their unknown intruder.

Meanwhile, Kathy continues to attack her two enemies by firing her energy beams and using her Sol Gems to punch at them. More sparks came from the monsters' bodies as the beams hit them. They tried to fly away, but their huge size slows them down. So, Kathy was easily able to keep on punching them repeatedly since she's faster than them. After repeated punches and laser beams, the two Adult Battra monsters were weakened. Thus, they burst into dark particles after being wounded multiple times. Kathy soon flew in place as she looked around where the other Adult Battra monsters were. She saw the last two retreating towards the island. She smirked and said to Blaze, "Well, Blaze. Maybe now is a good time to sneak into the island undetected".

Blaze looked at Kathy with a confused expression until something clicked in her mind. "Ah. I see. You want us to find the Sol Emeralds first before we finish getting rid of Battra's monsters and Battra himself. Am I correct?" Blaze said with a smirk.

"That's the plan! Are you ready?" Kathy replied with a thumbs-up and a wink.

"Naturally. Shall we head off?" Blaze replied with a nod.

"Certainly!" Kathy exclaimed enthusiastically.

Kathy then quickly flew towards the island as fast as she could.

-At The Sol Kingdom; A Few Minutes Prior-

Battra was napping soundly at his throne with his arms crossed. He was soon startled awake when he heard his own minions calling for him.

GYYYYYYRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Master! Master! This is an emergency! Some unknown intruder is attacking the kingdom!)

"What?!" Battra yelled. He quickly got off his throne and ran towards the balcony to see talk to his minions more personally. The two huge Adult Battra monsters continued to tell their king the urgent news.

GYYYYYRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Yes, Master! You heard me! For some unknown reason, we keep getting hit by some intruder in the sky, but we can't see our attacker! This attacker keeps firing at us with some yellow beams, and it seems that this attacker is fast because our brethren keep getting killed without warning! Just watch, sir! And you'll see what we're talking about!)

No! It can't possibly be what I think it is! I thought Blaze was done with Kathy! Blaze has got to be hating her right about now! Battra thought in a panic as he placed his hands onto the marble railing of the balcony and stared into distance with a shocked expression. The two minions flew a bit higher and away from their leader's line of sight to see this invisible attacker. Soon, Battra himself couldn't believe what he is seeing.

He did saw those familiar yellow energy beams in the dark sky. He could see his minions being attacked brutally before they disappeared into dark particles. Battra gritted his teeth in anger as he growled. This can't be happening right now! Blaze is supposed to come here alone! Why did she bring Kathy along?! Wasn't she furious at Kathy a few hours ago?! Grrrrrrrr! How could my plan backfire like this?! Battra brooded as he felt furious that his plan failed. Hmph. That does it. Commence Plan C.

"Grrrrr! It doesn't matter! Either my minions or I will kill them both! I'll swear it! I win secure this win for myself!" Battra yelled to himself as he felt ready to commence his new plan into action. He then communicated to his two minions.

GYYYYYYYRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Just stay here and guard the kingdom! I know those familiar yellow beams anywhere! I'll deal with this myself! Just go and defend the kingdom!)

GYYYRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Yes, Master!) The two Adult Battra monsters cried out before they flew around the island to keep on the lookout to this invisible intruder.

Battra then gave the orders to the Larva Battra down below.

GYYYYYYYYRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Attention! Attention all loyal subjects! This is an emergency! Our kingdom is being attacked! I repeat! Our kingdom is being attacked! All of you start attacking! Fire your lasers at the sky! Our intruder is someone who can fly very fast! So, keep on firing your lasers as fast as you can! Attack without showing any mercy! You hear me?! Attack!)

The other Larva Battra monsters heard the orders and started attacking by firing their eye and horn lasers into the sky to defend the island from the intruder.

Kathy saw this and quickly flew backwards to get out of the range of fire. "Woah! H-How did they know that I was there?! They couldn't see me! And they shouldn't see me!" Kathy yelled in shock. The two girls then heard Battra over the intercom throughout the island.

"Nice try, Kathy. Did you really think that you and Blaze could infiltrate my kingdom undetected? I'm not some naïve villain, you know! I always come prepared whether a situation like this arises. If you really want the Sol Emeralds, then you are just gonna get them the hard way! I dare you and Blaze to defeat all of my minions on my island! If you can do that, well, then go on ahead to face me. I have those emeralds that you seek. So, go on right ahead to try to stop me. I dare you! Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!" Battra said menacingly.

"Darn it! Well, there goes that plan! Sorry, Blaze. I guess we're going to get into your kingdom the old-fashioned way!" Kathy exclaimed while feeling slightly annoyed that her plan backfired.

"It's no problem. Really. I honestly thought that it would be too easy to get my emeralds back without having much fight. Besides...I'm quite comfortable with this direction the battle is taking anyway. I'm pretty used to it now. So, it's all good," Blaze responded calmly with a shake of her head.

"Well...okay then. If you're okay with it, then I'm okay with it! Just hang on for a bit longer, Blaze! I've got to find a way to stop them so that I could have enough time to drop you off!" Kathy exclaimed back with a determined smile on her face.

"Understood! Just be careful, Kathy! I'm counting on you!" Blaze exclaimed back with a smirk as she trusts Kathy to protect her.

"Okay! I got this!" Kathy exclaimed with a smile and a wink. Kathy then used her Sol Gems to make herself and Blaze reappear. She then quickly switched her white Sol Heart for her red one. Once she finished replacing her Sol Hearts, she then flew forward towards the island. She can see the remaining two Adult Battra monsters flying around the island. Kathy grabbed their attention by firing her energy beams at them both. Sparks came off from their bodies and faces. They roared in pain and looked over at their intruder. They soon saw Kathy and immediately turned around to fly closer to her to attack her.

They started their attack by firing their purple eye lasers. Kathy dodged them as she flew downwards. She stayed away from the shore of the island to avoid being attacked by the Larva Battra monsters. The Adult Battra monsters soon dove down to follow Kathy to attack her. They kept on firing their purple lasers at Kathy, and Kathy kept on dodging the lasers by flying left and right. Kathy then quickly turned to fly upwards again. She was able to fly below one of the Battra monsters. Once she got near the monster, she then used her Sol Gems to shoot a fire blast towards the monster's body. The Adult Battra monster soon caught on fire. Kathy followed the Battra monster and continued to burn it by moving her hands around so that the monster's whole body is on fire. The Adult Battra monster soon burst into dark particles after being burned for so long. After burning the monster, Kathy then flew under another Adult Battra monster and started to burn it too. She kept on flying left and right to burn the last Adult Battra monster. Soon, the monster's skin started to melt, and its wings got holes in the middle since the fire burned them off. The Battra monster started to fall from the sky after it had its wings burned off. Kathy then flew away from the monster as it started to fall from the sky. As the monster fell, Kathy fired one more fire blast at the monster to kill it. The monster soon exploded into dark particles one it was hit by another fire attack. Kathy flew in place for a bit to catch her breath before she turned around and faced the island.

Welp. That's two down and another dozen to go. Kathy thought with a smile as she gazed at the army of Larva Battra monsters. Kathy decided to change her Sol Hearts again. She then switched her red heart with her sky-blue one. Once she got her chosen Sol Heart over her neck, she boldly flew towards the island without hesitation. As she flew closer towards the island, she could see the Larva monsters roaring and preparing to fire their eye and horn lasers. Kathy smirked as she then used her Sol Gems to duplicate her own soul and Blaze's into 12 copies on each side of her. The Larva Battra monsters saw this and felt confused by this. They started to attack anyway to try stop their enemy from getting into the island. As lasers went into the air, Kathy then used this opportunity to fly down towards the ocean to avoid being shot by the lasers. Her afterimages did the same thing as they flew down towards the ocean too. As Kathy flew over the ocean, she then fired her energy beams at one of the Larva Battra monsters. The monster soon got hit by the energy beams, and sparks went flying off its body due to the beams. Kathy's afterimages did the same thing as Kathy did and attacked the other Larva Battra monsters too. Multiple Larva Battra monsters got attacked with the energy beams from an army of Kathy copies. Thus, like a firework show, sparks and explosions came from the monsters as they were hit by the beams. The monsters roared in pain as thy were attacked. They were about to attack back until Kathy had already punched a Battra monster very hard in the stomach and made it fall on its back. The other Battra monsters soon got hit by Kathy's afterimages too afterwards. They were all hit in their stomachs and fell in unison. As they struggled in vain to get up, Kathy immediately fired her energy beams at the Battra monster before her and set the monster on fire. Her afterimages did the same thing by attacking the other fallen Battra monsters with their energy beams. Sparks and fire rose from each Larva Battra monster as Kathy and her afterimages burned each of them. The monsters roared one last time.

"FEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRR BAAAAAAAAAATTTTTRRRRRRAAAA!" The Larva Battra monsters cried out before they exploded into dark particles. (A/N Yes, I couldn't resist the reference one last time. Just once more for the finale!)

Kathy then landed to the ground after the monster disappeared under her feet. Her afterimages followed her movements since they did the exact same thing as she did. Kathy then gently took Blaze's hands off from her as she placed her down on the ground. Blaze got off from Kathy and stood next to her. Blaze's afterimages did the same thing too.

"So...we're here now, huh?" Blaze said as she stared at her kingdom. She was surprised that her kingdom hadn't changed despite the fact that Battra had taken over it.

"Yep! We're here! But the fight is just getting started!" Kathy exclaimed enthusiastically as she smiled wide and pointed at the other Larva Battra monsters coming towards the beach.

"Of coarse! Let's keep on fighting then!" Blaze exclaimed back as she prepared herself to attack the incoming monsters in their path.

Kathy nodded as she also prepared to fight the huge Larva Battra monsters too. The monsters were walking slowly but soon arrived on the beach to where Blaze and Kathy were. Once the monsters started firing their lasers at Kathy and Blaze, the girls soon flew and run forward to avoid the laser attacks. The ground behind them exploded as sparks and fire came up from it. Blaze was boosting to avoid the lasers while Kathy was simply flying as fast as she could to avoid the lasers too. Both Kathy's and Blaze's afterimages are following the girls behind them. The Larva Battra monsters saw the afterimages and attempted to attack them. Of coarse, these attacks did nothing as the afterimages went through the attacks. More sparks and fire came up from the ground by those attacks. Blaze then jumped very high to make an air boost at one of the Larva Battra monsters. She hit the monster very hard in the stomach and knocked it down. Kathy had punched a Larva Battra monster very hard in the stomach too. That monster also fell backwards from the punch and went down to the ground. Blaze's and Kathy's afterimages did the same thing as the girls as they either air boosted or punched the other monsters in the area. A heap of Battra monsters fell from the attacks. As Blaze stood on top of one of the Battra monsters, she then used her fire powers from her hands to shoot pillars of flames at the monster. Her afterimages also did the same thing as Blaze as they burned the other monsters with their fire. Kathy then attacked her own monsters by firing her energy beams at the monsters. Her afterimages followed suit by firing their own energy beams. Sparks and flames came up from the fallen Battra monsters' bodies. They couldn't do anything but lay down on the ground, burning to death. The monsters soon cried in pain before they exploded into dark particles too.

With the monsters defeated, the girls quickly ran and flew further into the forest before them. As the two girls made their way through the forest, they noticed some lonesome robots gawking about or just laying down on the ground. Blaze had no idea why these robots are doing nothing and not contributing to the fight, but she shrugged it off and decided to destroy them anyway.

They may be harmless now, but they are still Dr. Eggman Nega's robots. No robot belongs in my island! Blaze thought as she jumps on each of the robots to destroy them. Kathy just shrugged as she watched Blaze destroy the robots mercilessly.

After Blaze had destroyed the robots easily, she and Kathy went further into the forest. They soon encountered with smaller versions of the Larva monsters. These monsters are only ten feet tall this time. These monsters were blocking the path to the kingdom. Kathy smiled as she exclaimed to Blaze, "Hey! Would you look at that! Battra must have run out of the bigger monsters and must settle for the smaller ones instead! We must have broken through the strong forces then if we are dealing with the smaller ones now!".

"Hmph! Indeed. Let's show the rest of his army no mercy! We must let Battra know that we're serious here!" Blaze exclaimed as she smirked at Kathy.

"Agreed! Let's go!" Kathy replied with a determined look as she then focused onto the monsters before her.

The Larva Battra monsters started attacking them with their lasers as usual. Blaze and Kathy dodged them by either running and flying faster towards the monsters or by moving left or right. Sparks and fire came up from the ground as the monsters' attacks miss the girls in front of them. Blaze decided to use her hands to shoot out fire hoses at the monsters in front of them to burn them. Kathy joined Blaze by firing out her energy beams at them. Both Blaze's and Kathy's afterimages joined with the girls to create a wall of fire and energy beams at the monsters. The monsters burned while sparks came on top of their skin as the beams hit them. Blaze and Kathy kept on hitting them with their attacks until they all exploded into dark particles. There were no monsters left on the path except fire. Blaze ran through the fire while Kathy just flew over it.

"Heh! That was too easy!" Kathy exclaimed with smirk.

"It sure was. If this is all that's left of Battra's army, then I'll say that I'm slightly disappointed. I thought that I would get a tougher fight, but I suppose that I'm wrong. Perhaps Battra is too overconfident in himself if he thought his army will kill us. It's quite sad if you ask me," Blaze replied with a frown.

"Perhaps so. However, I wouldn't be underestimating him if I were you. If he isn't giving it his all right now, then perhaps he's saving his energy for the real battle. This is probably all just a front to let our guards down before he'd spring a trap onto us," Kathy replied with a slight frown.

"Hmmm...You might be right about that. Perhaps he's got more monsters with him. If not, then let's head inside the kingdom and face him ourselves!" Blaze replied as she looked determined again.

"Yeah! Now, there's a plan! Let's go inside already!" Kathy exclaimed enthusiastically. Blaze nodded to her and then ran faster to her castle. Kathy then quickly used her Sol Gems to put the copies back into their own bodies. After that was done, she placed her Sol Gems back to her pendant. She even put her Sol Heart back into her pocket too. She decided to save her energy before facing Battra himself.

Eventually, the girls made it to the entrance of the huge castle. They were surprised that they made it the rest of the way to the castle without any monsters stopping them. What's even more surprising is that there are no robots or even monsters inside the castle to stop them on their way to the throne room. As Blaze lead Kathy inside the castle to get to the throne room, she was pondering to herself the way there.

This is strange. If it was Dr. Eggman Nega, he would at least put up guards or traps within his base or in his buildings. Why didn't Battra set up some form of resistance? Is he incompetent or is he really setting up something? Hmmmm...I really hope that he is incompetent because for how strong and powerful he is I can easily imagine creating a giant threat. …...Please let my gut instincts be wrong. Please.

Blaze grimaced as she felt a bit of anxiety in her gut. She can sense how eerily calm the inside of the castle is. It's too calm. Too quiet. Something is terribly wrong here.

Soon, the girls made a final turn in the hallway and approached the two golden doors to the throne room in the middle of the hallway. Both Blaze and Kathy slammed the doors wide open and stood in front of the entrance of the throne room. They both had determined expressions and frowns on their faces as they confronted Battra himself

"Battra! Your reign of tyranny ends here! Give me my throne back!" Blaze yelled angrily as she looked fierce at Battra while pointing at him.

Meanwhile, Battra was using his Sol Gems to control the Sol Emeralds. Blaze and Kathy can see the emeralds floating in the air while having black, broken hearts on the inside of the emeralds. Blaze may not understand why this is the case, but she could guess that Battra is using the emeralds for something. Kathy, however, had bit her lip. She knew that Battra is certainly using the emeralds' energy to create something. Kathy doesn't want to say it, but she had a bad feeling that Battra is creating another minion with those emeralds. Perhaps even...creating Him again.

Battra then finished using the emeralds as they slowly went down. Battra was now carrying all of the emeralds in his arms. He slowly turned around and smirked at the girls.

"Ah. Good day to you two girls. I'm sure you two had a lovely time meeting my minions up close. It's too bad you two didn't let them live much more to get them to know you more," Battra replied casually with a calm, eerie smile.

"Can it, Battra! I don't have time for your taunts! Give back my emeralds! Or else..." Blaze threatened with a deeper frown as she felt ready to fight him with her fire powers.

"Aww, are you trying to threaten me? How cute. A mere Mobian dares to threaten the new King of the Monsters," Battra replied with a playful smirk.

"You, sir, are no king! You're just a regular monster! Besides, I'm the true Ruler of the Monsters here! There is no king or other queen left that has any right to rule this kingdom or any monster period!" Kathy exclaimed boldly as she pointed at Battra in a dramatic fashion.

"Ooooooh! 'No king left' you say? Well now. We certainly can't have that now, do we? Hey, Blaze?" Battra replied with an amused yet cocky expression.

"What?" Blaze replied in a sharp tone.

"Catch!" Battra exclaimed as he threw all of the Sol Emeralds at Blaze's direction. Blaze's eyes went wide as the emeralds fell in front of her. Both Blaze and Kathy were stunned by this. They both stared at the emeralds without moving an inch.

...That's it? No fight. No resistance. No coercion. He...He just gave them to me willingly. …...This has got to be a trap. Blaze pondered as she stared at the emeralds with scrutiny. There is no such thing as an easy win. So, she had her guard up already. She then looked up at Battra and glared at him.

"Is this some kind of a joke?" Blaze replied with a frown.

"What do you mean, Blaze?" Battra responded with a smirk.

"You can't be serious, Battra. You're up to something, aren't you?" Blaze replied with a grimace.

"Oh, don't be like that, Blaze. I'm merely allowing you to...borrow those emeralds for a while. After all, I want you and Kathy to have a fair battle. I want you and Kathy to fight at the best of your abilities and at your full power. Because you see...you will fall miserably under the wrath of the King," Battra replied with a sinister grin as he glared at the two girls.

"Battra! For the last time, you're not a ki-" Kathy yelled in annoyance before she was cut off by a loud noise.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

Both Blaze and Kathy froze up once they heard the loud noise. The ground and the castle were shaking when the loud noise happened.

"Wh-What was that?" Blaze replied meekly.

"Oh no..." Kathy muttered as she recognized those loud booming noises anywhere. It's...It's Him. Kathy thought as she looked shocked. The girls soon heard another loud noise.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"Th-Th-That one sounded closer!" Blaze yelled in shock.

"Hmph. Now, that's better. You two should really learn to humble yourselves occasionally because there will be days where you must admit defeat. And that day has come for you as you face off...the original King of the Monsters!" Battra replied with an evil smirk as he waved his arms dramatically to emphasize his point.

"The-The-The original-" Kathy replied in alarm.

"King?" Blaze finished for Kathy.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"That's right. You two won't be fighting me. However, it wouldn't be fair to fight me when the original King didn't get a chance to fight. Oh no. No way. You never should let the King down. Surely, He will be pleased to kill such small creatures such as yourselves. Anyways, I should be off then. I'll be watching the fight from behind-the-scenes. Ta ta! Mwahahahahahahahahaha!" Battra replied with a devious smile before he laughed evilly and teleported away from the island by using his Sol Gems.

"Battra! Grrrr! He got away!" Kathy yelled in anger.

"Rats! That was our only chance in fighting him! Grrrrrr! I can't believe that he would run away like this! Ugh! He's such a coward!" Blaze yelled too in frustration.

"Grrrr. You're right, Blaze. But I think we should leave this castle immediately! Grab your Sol Emeralds and head for the beach!" Kathy replied with a serious expression.

"But why the beach? What's going on, Kathy?!" Blaze asked in alarm.

"Trust me, Blaze! It's better to see it with your own eyes to see what I mean! Now, let's go right now!" Kathy exclaimed with a frown.

"Hmmm...Alright. Let's get out of here then," Blaze replied with a frown before nodding in agreement. She then quickly bent down and grabbed the Sol Emeralds. She carried all seven of them in her arms. Kathy held the door to let Blaze run through. She and Blaze left the throne room and quickly got out of the castle. They heard more booming noises as they went to the beach.

Soon, they finally arrived at the beach on the west side of the island. Blaze and Kathy both stopped in front of the ocean. Blaze was panting while she held the emeralds in her hands. Kathy glared at the ocean in the horizon. She had a serious expression on her face as she tensed up. She prepares herself about what happens next. A few seconds went by, and the booming noises had stopped.

Instead, the girls saw a bright light glowing in the middle of the sea before them. Blaze blinked as she looked away from the bright light. Kathy had her hand over her eyes as the light glowed brighter. It was silent for a few moments until suddenly...

FOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A bright, neon-blue, spiral ray of light shot through the ocean and hit the right side of the castle. That side of the castle exploded immediately and caught on fire. Pieces of the castle ruins fell to the ground into a pile of rubble. Blaze gasped in shock as she saw that. Her eyes and mouth went wide as she witnessed that powerful attack. Kathy adjusted her necklace with one hand while wearing a calm yet solemn expression on her face as if she had expected this, although she technically did.

Meanwhile, on the small island next to the Sol Kingdom island, Marne and her crew can't help but feel both scared and amazed at that ferocious attack. Marine had wide eyes and a wide-open mouth as she felt the most surprised out of everyone here.

"Wh-Wh-WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!" Marine shouted out of panic as she had her arms in the air. The rest of the crew had scared, worried expressions on their faces as they watched the sea in the horizon as well.

A few seconds later, the girls soon saw a long black tail coming up from the ocean and splashing the water a little as if it was a whale. Well...in a way, it is larger than whale. As the creature slowly reveals itself from the ocean water, its dorsal fins on creature's the back glowed neon-blue too. Blaze mouth gaped even wider as she cranes her neck up to see how tall the massive creature is. It is certainly something she had never seen before. Kathy slowly looks up with Blaze too. She had a hand over her hip as she stared at her and Blaze's final opponent.

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKK!

Here He is at last...The real King of the Monsters...Kathy thought somberly as she stared at the creature with a frown.

Godzilla...

Here it is. The finale. Can't believe that I was able to finish this, but here we are. Nothing else to say but just continue in part 2 of the finale. Hope you are enjoying this ending!
