High Stakes on the High Sea Saga Episode 3: Reunited with Blaze

Seconds ago, a flying burning flame crashes to the ground close to where Captain Whisker and his crew are standing. The flames disappear and a figure appears. The figure is a purple cat wearing purple, white, and pink color clothes. She turns her head to reveal her golden yellow eyes and red jewel on her forehead.

Seeing the figures appearance and face, Eve knows who this figure is, "B… Blaze?!"

The cat turns her head to see Eve and the others and is surprised to see them, especially Eve and Jazz. Whiskers and his crew are a bit confused by the sudden encounter.

"Eve?! Jazz?!" Blaze says, surprised.

"I knew it! I knew this is your homeworld when Marine said we're in the Sol Dimension! It's great to see you!" Eve says with a smile.

"It… it's a pleasure to see you again Eve, but what are you doing here? Are those your friends?" Blazes with a smile, but also very confused.

Suddenly, Whisker says in anger, "Avast ye! We've still got a score to settle, mateys!"

Eve, Blaze, Sonic, and the others turn to see the pirates are still here.

Whisker calls out, "D'arr! Ghost Kraken! Seize them!"

"Kraken? What is a Kraken?" Cosmo asks, confused.

"I remember reading about it. I think it's supposed to be a legendary sea monster," Maria says.

"I have to guess it's a robot too," Tails says.

Blaze turns to Eve, "Eve, we will discuss this once we take care of one of Whiskers robots."

"I agree. And it appears we're after the same enemy as well," Eve says.

"Yeah. Cause they have something that we need," Sonic says.

Just then, a giant robot rises from the robot, which is actually the Ghost Kraken. The Kraken is a giant, robotic octopus. It is purple with a yellow jewel and stripes around its body, white ones on its legs and rest being gray. It also has glowing green eyes.

"Crikey! That thing is huge!" Marine panics.

"Looks like it's time for another robot smashing!" Sonic says.

"Indeed," Blaze says.

The Kraken then swings it's tentacle and slams to the ground, luckily, Eve, Sonic, and Blaze dodge the attack. The robot then slams the tentacles on the ground again. Sonic jumps and gives it a strong spin dash. Eve makes her sword glow and wings it down to cut the tentacle off. As Eve lands on the ground, another tentacle begins to swing down toward her from behind. Before it can strike at Eve, a powerful flame strikes at it, causing Eve to look behind to see the tentacle on fire.

Eve turns to see Blaze who is responsible for the blow, "Thanks Blaze!"

"You're welcome, but we still have a monster to face," Blaze says.

Eve nods her head. She then jumps up and uses her sword to give it a strong blow on its head, but it's not enough to leave that many cuts on its head. Blaze then throws a powerful burst of flame at it and it pushes the monster back. Sonic dodges the tentacles attacks and uses his spin dashes to strike at the tentacles. Just then, the Kraken begins to spray black ink at them. The three dodge the attacks so they won't get in on them. However, when the Kraken sprays a large dose, all three of them are now covered in ink and are blinded by them.

"That's not good," Cosmo says, concerned.

Tails panics, "Guys, look out!"

The Kraken raises its tentacles and dives them down to strike at the cat and two hedgehogs. Before the Kraken can strike at them, Chaos Spear strikes at one of the tentacles. The source of the Chaos Spear is Maria.

Maria nervously says, "Leave Eve and my friends alone"

"Cha-Chaos Spear!" Maria says, as she creates another Chaos Spear.

Then throws it at the Kraken by the head, and straight at the forehead. The Kraken begins to give off electricity as it begins to malfunction. Eve is able to get the ink off her eyes to see the Chaos Spear has pierced the Kraken's forehead. Eve quickly acts now as she spins like a tornado and uses her sword to cause a lot of damage to the Kraken. Blazer then gives the Kraken the final blow and strikes it on the head. The Kraken soon shuts down and sinks to the bottom of the sea.

"That was too close," Sonic says.

"Speak for yourself, this black ink is sticky, gooey, slimy, and it smells disgusting. Yuck!" Eve says, and sticks her tongue out.

"Yes. I have to agree. It feels unpleasant," Blaze says.

"By the way, where did those robots go off to," Sonic asks.

Everyone looks around to see that Captain Whisker and his crew are gone. What's more, the scepter that is supposed to be here is gone as well.

Blaze says in frustration, "Argh! They always seem to get away right at the last second."

Then Blaze begins to walk away.

"Hey, where are you going?" Tails asks.

"Those pirates have gotten their hands on the Jeweled Scepter. It's an ancient treasure from my homeland, and I've got to get it back right away!" Blaze says.

"Wait Blaze, we need to go after them too," Eve says.

"They stole a Chaos Emerald when we crashed on Seagull Beach," Sonic says.

"And we've been trying to find him, but also meet their annoying captain and some of their crew mates as well," Cosmo says.

"And it also needs to find some materials to fix the X Tornado too," Maria says.

"Chao Chao," Jazz replies.

"Hmmm. So, you're caught up in all of this, too," Blaze replies.

"Yeah. You could say that," Eve says.

Then introduces, "I know that you didn't spend too much time in our world, but let me introduce you to my brother and my friends. The hedgehog is my brother, Sonic."

"Yo," Sonic says.

The fox is our friend, and he's kind a little brother to me and Sonic, and he's a good inventor and techie, Tails," Eve says.

"Hello," Tails says.

Eve walks to Cosmo, "This is our friend Cosmo, she's a Seedrian we met when she crashed to earth."

"Hello Blaze, it's nice to meet you," Comso says.

"And this is my old friend and I love her like a sister, Maria," Eve says.

Maria waves her hand, "Hello Blaze, it's nice to meet you."

"Hello," Blaze says.

Then Eve turns to Marine, "And this little kid is a new friend we met on Seagull Beach. She's Marine."

"I'm also the captain of the Ocean Tornado that we all built," Marine says with pride.

"I see, but if out of curiosity, what are you all doing here? Why are you in the Sol Dimension?" Blaze asks.

"It's a bit of a story," Sonic says.

Eve, and the others explain to Blaze what happened to them when they fall into the storm, how they arrive on Seagull Beach, meeting Marine, and how they meet the robot pirates and try to get the Chaos Emerald that he stole.

"I see. So you were caught up in the storm, and when you woke up, you were here," Blaze says.

"And then I found you lot!" Marien says.

"I'm having trouble understanding why you're captain, Marine, right?" Blaze says, confused.

"Well, I know a lot about boats, sailing, and this place. It made sense that I became captain, and these are my mates," Marine says.

"Right. Anyway, I must go after Captain Whisker and his crew and get the Jewel Scepter back," Blaze says.

"He and his pirates also stole the Chaos Emerald from us as well. We need to make sure they don't use it for who knows what they're doing," Eve says.

"Then the terms are agreeable," Blaze says.

"I agree. We can help each other on this," Tails says.

"Well two heads are better than one, and having eight heads is a lot better than two," Sonic says.

"Then it settles, we're all going to go after Captain Scrap Metal and his robotic crew," Marine says.

"Sure Marine. Let's all get back to the Ocean Tornado and see what our next plan is," Sonic says.

Maria also holds some red materials, "Maybe these can help us too."

"Good idea Maria. We may need them," Eve says.

Maria smiles with glee.

After getting back to the Ocean Tornado, the gang decide that they need to come up with a plan to find Captain Whisker and his crew.

Blaze then asks Tails, "Tails, can you build a device to scan and analyze plasma and electromagnetic signals?"

"Huh? Well, I mean, sure, but... That's kinda coming out of nowhere, Blaze," Tails says, sounding skeptic.

"Yes, I realize that," Blaze answers with a nod.

Confused, Marine asks, "Plasmalectra-what, now? What are you talking about, mate? And whatever all that means, when we're done with all that, can we get back to the fun?"

Maria and Jazz giggle in reply

"Do you think that electromagnetic signals might give us some clues, Blaze?" Sonic asks.

"That's my hope, at any rate," Blaze answers

"There's got to be something at the source of that transmission, for starters," Tails says.

"So, if we had some kind of detector, we'd be able to get to the bottom of things," Eve says.

"With the Materials we've collected, I should be able to whip up just such a device!" Tails says.

"Thanks. I don't mean to trouble you," Blaze says.

"Okay, I'll get started on some blueprints for a radio tower, then," Tails says.

"A radio tower?! Do we get to listen to music and climb all around on it, mate?" Marine asks, excited.

"Not exactly…" Eve says.

"Alright everyone. We're going to need some of the green materials, the bronze materials, and the gold rings that we found," Tails informs.

"Luckily, we have everything we need," Sonic says.

"And we can have the tower built on the mast of the ship, and we can have a small station for detectiving them," Eve says.

"Then let's get to work," Tails says.

The group begins working. Tails, Marine, Blaze, and Maria work on the radio tower while Sonic, Eve, Jazz, and Cosmo clean up one of the empty rooms on the shipe and turn it into a station for them to detect the Chaos Emerald and the Jewel Scepter. After some time, using the materials, cleaning, and working, they are finished with the tower and place it on the top of the mast. And soon, they also have the station set up with a detector and with Blaze and Marine's help, they have a map of the Sol Dimension on the screen as well.

Soon Tails notices something on the screen, "Well, I've detected some strange electromagnetic activity."

"Electromagnetic activity?" Sonic asks, confused.

Marine asks, "What's electro... uh... magnetic mean?"

"It's really weird! It's a waveform I've never even seen before," Tails says, looking at the map.

"Well, this is Blaze's home world, the Sol Dimension, so the energy waves in this world are different from ours.

"That's true, I guess…" Tails says.

But Blaze interrupts, "Wait. That electromagnetic activity, it's very unusual?"

"Hey, do you know something about this?" Sonic asks.

"Yes. We have picked up unusual readings before, but... The source is still unknown, and we only have a rough idea of its location. It's near an area known for sightings of ghost ships," Blaze says.

"Really? Sounds like fun. Maybe we can find something there," Sonic says.

"Like new Materials!" Tails says.

"And possible to find Captain Whisker and his pirate crew," Eve says.

"Chao Chao," Jazz replies.

"Hmm. I was intending to take a closer look at that area, so this is perfect. So which direction is the electromagnetic activity coming from?" Blaze says.

"It's coming from east from here," Tails says.

"It's that really foggy area, huh?" Sonic replies.

"It probably is. We'll need to be careful going there," Cosmo says.

Marien however is beginning to feel a little nervous.

Tails notices and asks, "What's wrong, Marine? You seem awfully quiet."

"Huh? What is it?" Marine quickly says.

"It looked like you were lost in thought or something," Tails says.

"Come on, where's all that energy you usually have? Let's get going!" Sonic says.

Marine smiles and happily says, "Uh, yeah! Let's go!"

Then calls out, "We'll need to raise the anchor. Rise the sail. I'll take the wheel."

"Alright, let's go!" Eve says.

After raising the anchor and raising the sails, the Ocean Tornado set sails to the Ghost ships.

The Ocean Tornado continues to travel across the sea. They visit a few islands to see if the pirates have come in a certain direction. Luckily, they're able to find their way and head to where Captain Whiskers and his crew are heading. From Blaze' knowledge, they know that they'll be heading to the Ghost ships. The group continues to travel to find the Ghost Ships and find the robot pirates who have taken the magical objects.
