Episode 15: The Amnesiac Princess

One early morning, the mysterious cat that has fallen out of the sky is now sleeping in a hospital bed. Standing close by are two Mobians. One of them is a black and white skunk with blue eyes. He wears a purple belt, purple gloves, and purple boots, and a green bandana around his neck. The second is a black and white color cat with blue eyes. She is wearing a red sleeveless jacket, a blue bandana around her neck, and blue boots.

They both have been taking care of the feline since they are the one who found her. While the cat is checking on the girl's condition, the skunk is sitting on a chair with the red rectangular gem and the purple diamond shape gem on the table. He is searching to figure out what kind of gemstone the cat has possessed.

"Hmm…" The skunk says, scratching his head.

The cat turns to the skunk, "How is your research, Geoffrey?"

The skunk, Geoffrey sighs and answers, "Not so much. I've read a few books, but there doesn't seem to be anything about the mysterious gem, at least one of them."

Geoffrey then picks up the purple diamond shaped one, "I was able to figure out that this gem is actually a Chaos Emerald."

"The one Sally, Sonic and the others are looking for? Hmm, I have to wonder why she has it in her possession," Hershey says.

"I'm afraid I do not know. I think it will be best to contact Princess Sally and tell her who and what we found. I'm sure she and the Freedom Fights could figure this out," Geoffrey says.

"Yes. I believe they could," Hershey says.

Before Geoffrey can contact Sally, they hear a groan and turn their heads to see the young cat is moving her head. The young girl opens her eyes to reveal them to be a yellow color. The poor girl begins to wake up and tries to push herself up. Suddenly, she begins to feel dizzy as she begins to sit up. She wants to sit up, but her dizzy head is not making it easy for her.

Hershey walks over and gently lays her down, "It's okay. You should lay down."

Hershey has her lay down and gently places the covers on her.

She then asks, "Where am I. Who… who a I?"

"Are you okay?" Geoffrey asks.

"I… I don't know. I don't even know who I am," The girl answers.

Geoffrey and Hershey look at each other in concern, and begin to realize what happened to her.

Hershey answers, "You're in the hospital of New Mobotropolis. My husband and I found you after you crashed. We found you injured so we brought you here."

"Are you sure you don't remember anything? Do you remember your name or how you got here?" Geoffrey asks.

The cat girl slowly shakes her head and says, "I don't."

The couple soon come to realize that the young cat girl has amnesia.

"Oh dear, the poor girl must have lost her memory when she crashed," Hershey says.

"Yes, and it seems that she doesn't even remember her own name. I think it will be a good idea to contact Sally, Sonic, and the others about what happened, and also let them know about her having one of those Chaos Emeralds," Geoffrey says, still holding the Chaos Emerald in his hand.

"Of course. I'll let the doctor know that our patient has woken up, and about her condition," Hershey says.

She walks to the cat and says, "We'll be right back. My husband needs to contact some friends to help while I'll go get the doctor."

The cat girl then nods her head and the two head up to call some help. When Hershey and Geoffrey leave the room, the purple cat begins to sit up and still feels a little dizzy. She looks at her hands as she opens and closes them, but her vision is a little blurry. She then looks to notice her reflection in the mirror close by. She notices the bandages wrapped around her head and places her hand on it. She doesn't remember what happened, who she is, and why her head hurts.

She asks herself, "What happened to me?"

Then she touches the bandages on her head. Suddenly, she begins to feel a sharp pain in her head. She frantically looks around as if she is looking for something. She then notices the rectangular gemstone on the desk. She quickly picks it up so she can see it. She holds it with both hands and leans the gem close to her chest. She doesn't really remember anything, but she feels that this gem she's holding right now, is important to her.

Meanwhile in Freedom Fighters Base, Sonic, Sally, and the others are discussing about the emerald they have already retrieved.

"Okay. Here's what we know. We have already found three of the emeralds, and Dr. Eggman still has the one of the emeralds that he stole while he's in the cave near the Wolf Clan," Sally says.

"We know. Tails, Amy, you and me found the Red Chaos Emerald with the Rogues," Sonic says.

"Well, Fiona gave me the White Chaos Emerald," Tails says.

"And Sugar-twan and I managed to find the yellow Chaos Emerald in the desert," Bunnie says.

"Oui, and he had to get it from those ruffians, ze Fearsome Foursome," Antoine adds.

"So we have three emeralds while Dr. Eggman has only one. That will mean that we have three more emeralds for us to find," Rotor says.

"And we all know Dr. Eggman and Snively are after them as well," Amy says.

"Who knows what could happen if they manage to get any more of them," Cream worriedly says.

"True, but I'm getting this feeling that Eggman and Snively aren't the only ones after the Chaos Emeralds," Sally says.

"I actually have to agree. The guy who Renfield was working for must have known he has the emerald. I think Fiona said his name is Mogul," Tails says.

"The Fearsome Foursome must be after them too," Bunnie says.

Sonic sighs, "It looks like we have more bad guys to face who want to use the Chaos Emerald for their own gain."

Suddenly, Nicole and Hikari appear on the screen.

Nicole says, "Sally, we're receiving a call from Geoffrey coming from the hospital."

"Geoffrey? Very well, you may answer," Sally says.

"Of course," Hikari says.

Nicole and Hikari answer the call and Geoffrey appears on the screen."

"Hello mates, sorry if I was interrupting with anything, but this is important," Geoffrey says.

"Nah, you're not a bother at all. We were just going over things of what we know, involving the Chaos Emeralds," Sonic says.

"It's alright Geoffrey, is there anything we can do for you?" Sally asks.

"Since you brought up the Chaos Emerald, it will make things more surprising. Last night Hershey and I went camping not far from the city in the Great Forest. Suddenly, something crashed down to the ground. When Hershey and I went to check it out, we found a purple cat girl laying on the ground. She was very badly hurt so we got her to the hospital. She manages to wake up, but she doesn't seem to remember anything, not even her own name," Geoffrey says.

"That sounds terrible," Amy says.

"Poor girl,"Cream worriedly says.

"Chao Chao," Cheese sadly replies.

"Yes it was. Not only that, she was holding a strange red rectangular like gem, and she also has this with her," Geoffrey says, and holds the purple Chaos Emerald.

The group gasps in shock to see Geoffrey has the Chaos Emerald in his hand.

"That's one of the Chaos Emeralds!" Tails says, shocked.

"How did this girl manage to find one?" Amy asks.

"I'm not sure, but she doesn't remember. The poor girl lost all her memories when she crashed to the ground and woke up," Geoffrey says.

"I see. Well, maybe we can do something to help. I like to know how she found that Chaos Emerald," Sally says.

"Yeah. Besides, maybe there's something else she knows," Sonic says.

Cream happily says, "Maybe we can get her some good presents."

"Well then it's settled, we'll go to the hospital to check out our new friend," Sonic says.

"Okay. We'll meet you in her room and you can ask her some questions. However, it might take her some time before she can remember," Geoffrey says.

"Okay. We'll head there right away," Sally says.

Geoffrey hangs up and Sally, Sonic, and the others decide to see the newcomer in the hospital to see if there's anything she can remember and hope there is a way to help her.

Later in the hospital room, the cat girl has been changed into some new clothes. She is wearing a red shirt with a black biker jacket and black shorts, along with red and black color boots.

The cat girl turns to Hershey, "Thank you for lending me these clothes."

"You're welcome dear. We're having your clothes cleaned and fixed up for you," Hershey says.

"Thank you again. I do wish I could remember what happened," The girl says.

"I'm sure you'll regain your memories in due time," Hershey says.

Suddenly, they hear Geoffrey's voice, "Hershey, can I come in?"

"Yes dear," Hershey says.

The door opens and walks inside the room.

"Hello dear, how did the call go?" Hershey asks.

"Sonic and the others are on their way right now. They want to see if they can help her with her amnesia," Geoffrey says.

Hearing the name, the girl says, while her eyes wide open "Sonic… Son-Sonic…"

Suddenly, she begins to get a headache and she clutches her head. Her head flashes back to see a blue hedgehog with green eyes and running super fast. She also sees herself fighting against him, but maybe fighting along with him. She soon opens her eyes and shakes her head a little.

Hershey walks over and asks, "Are you okay?"

"I… I think so. I just need to lay down," The girl says.

"Okay," Hershey says.

The purple cat girl walks to the bed as she takes off the jacket. Then lay down in bed.

"I don't know I suddenly feel sleepy," The girl says.

"It's okay. You just need a little rest," Hershey says.

Later on, Sonic, Sally, and the others walk inside the hospital and to the room where the cat girl is staying.

Sally knocks on the door and says, "Hershey. Geoffrey. It's Sally. I brought Sonic and the others."

The door opens to reveal Hershey who greets them with a smile, "Sally, you made it."

"Hi Hershey, it's great to see you two again," Sonic says.

"It's good to see you too, and you two Tails," Hershey says, seeing the young fox.

"Hi Hershey," Tails says.

Then sees Geoffrey, "Hi Geoffrey."

"Good day mates. It's good to see you," Geoffrey says.

Soon, Sally, and the other Freedom Fighters walk into the room.

"So how is your guest doing?" Sonic asks.

"She's doing okay, but she still doesn't remember anything," Geoffrey says.

"I see," Sally says.

Amy asks, "So where is she?"

"She's resting in the bed right now," Hershey says.

Everyone walks over to see the girl. When Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Cream see her, they become surprised to see the feline laying in bed.

"Blaze?" The group says, surprised.

Sally turns to the group, "Wait, you know her?"

"Yeah. We met her some time ago, when she came to our world from her own world of the Sol Dimension," Sonic says.

"Oh, so she's a friend of yours," Geoffrey says.

"Yes. Blaze is really amazing," Cream says.

"She's actually a princess from the Sol Dimension and also the Guardian of special gems called the Sol Emeralds," Amy says.

"You mean this gem?" Geoffrey asks, holding the red rectangular gem.

"That's one of them. She came to our world once when the Sol Emeralds ended up here and was stolen by Eggman one time when he teamed up with another scientist that is just as crazy as he is," Sonic says.

Amy walks to Blaze and asks, "Blaze, are you sure you don't remember?"

"I don't, sorry," The cat girl, Blaze, answers.

Cream asks, "Are you okay, Ms. Blaze?"

"Chao Chao," Cheese replies, concerned.

"I'm okay, but I still don't remember. Why do you call me Blaze?" The girl asks.

"Because that's your real name. You're Blaze the Cat," Amy says.

"I see…" Blaze softly says.

Tails then wonders, "What happened to Blaze that made her lose her memories?"

"Something must have happened, and now she's on Mobius and doesn't remember a thing. Not even how she got here," Sonic says, scratching his chin.

"Hmm, maybe we can bring Blaze back to the base and check to see if she has any damages," Sally says.

"That sounds like a good idea," Sonic says.

"We could give it a try. Nicole and Hikari can do an analysis on Blaze's condition.

"So what do we do with the gems?" Geoffrey asks.

"You can give them to us. We're keeping the Chaos Emeralds safe from Dr. Eggman and we can hold on to Blaze's Sol Emeralds until then," Sally says.

"Sounds fair," Geoffrey says, and gives Sally the gems.

Blaze sits up and shows concern. She isn't sure if she should be accompanying Sonic and the others as well. And yet, she thinks they can be trusted.

Sonic walks to Blaze, "Come on Blaze, we'll help you."

"Okay," Blaze says, and takes Sonic's hand.

Sonic and Blaze leave the room with Tails, Amy, Cream, and Cheese. Blaze feels mostly comfortable with Sonic and Tails, but feels weary about being around everyone else.

Later on in Freedom HQ, Sonic and Tails explains to Sally and the rest of the Freedom Fighters on how they along with Cream, Cheese, and Amy first meet Blaze.

"So let me see if I got this clear, you met Blaze when she visited your world because Dr. Eggman teamed up another evil scientist called Dr. Eggman Nega who is in a way Dr. Eggman's descendant. They were both after the Chaos Emeralds and the Sol Emerald for the domination of both worlds. And the Sol Emeralds have similar powers to the Chaos Emerald, but because Blaze is the princess and guardian of them, only she is able to use them," Sally asks.

"That sounds about right," Sonic says.

"And we also met Blaze along with a Raccoon named Marine when Sonic and I ended up in her home world. We also fought off Nega's robot pirate creations and stopped him and his robots as well," Tails says.

"That sounds amazing, sugar-hog. Kind of makes me wish we could have come along," Bunnie says.

"I do not know. I feel worried about combating pirates," Antoine says.

"That sounds fascinating, but I have to wonder what could have happened to Blaze. And why does she have one of the Chaos Emeralds?" Sally says, thinking.

"If it's like the last few times, the Sol Emeralds must have appeared here and the Chaos Emerald must have appeared in Blaze's world," Sonic says.

"That would make sense, considering what Geoffrey explained to us about her condition, when he and Hershey found her," Sally says.

"If anything, it's possible that she must have gotten into a fight with Dr. Nega, and he's as evil and intelligent at Eggman is," Tails says.

"What kind of person is Nega?" Rotor asks.

"He's an dangerous enemy we encounter and he's from Blaze's world. We think. And he teamed up with Eggman so they can take over both our worlds," Tails says.

"Oh dear, and I thought having one Eggman was bad enough," Sally says.

"Yeah. Having one insane scientist is bad enough," Amy says.

"I have to agree. If Dr. Eggman knows about Blaze and she has one of the Sol Emeralds and if he knows we have the Chaos Emerald… it will be disastrous if he gets them," Sally says.

Then turns to the others, "Which is why it's best if we keep both emeralds here where Eggman could never find them."

"It's cool, Sal. There's no way Eggman can get in with Nicole and Hikari," Sonic says.

Blaze then asks, "And um what do you think I should do? If what you're saying is true, then I need to remember what happened so that I can help. I feared that I might have gotten myself into some kind of danger before now?"

"Hmm, I think I just might have an idea," Sally says.

"And what is this idea of yours?" Sonic asks, confused.

Sally walks to Sonic and Blaze, "Well, I remember reading in some books that there are ways to help someone regain their memories through Hypnotherapy."

"Hypno what?" Sonic says, confused.

"Hypnotherapy?" Tails asks.

"Hypnotherapy. It's what doctors use hypnosis to help with patients who have amnesic patients to recover their memories. It can also be used for anxieties, phobias, and sometimes to improve sleeping," Sally says.

"You want to hypnotize Blaze in order to help regain her memories?" Sonic says, confused.

"That sounds about right," Sally says.

"I'm not sure about it. Will it even work?" Blaze says, concern.

"It could help you relax a bit," Tails says.

"It's worth a shot," Amy says.

Blaze looks at them and believes she can try the idea, "I suppose I can give it a try."

Meanwhile, outside of the city, there is a small robot that has flying wings and it looks like it has a video camera on it. It appears to be searching for something or someone. The strange drone begins to fly towards New Mobotropolis for some kind of purpose while being undetected.

Back in Freedom Fighters HQ, Sonic, Tails, Sally, along with Nicole and Hikari on the screen are helping Blaze get ready for her Hypnotherapy. Blaze then sits on a chair and Sally helps adjust it so it will slightly bend back, and Blaze can relax.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Sonic asks.

Blaze asks, feeling concern "I have to be a bit concerned myself. Are you sure this will help me?"

"It will be fine. You just have to relax and let Nicole do the rest," Sally says.

On the screen, Nicole says, "It's okay Blaze, we're here to help you."

Blaze smiles and says, "Alright, I'll trust you."

Sally turns to Nicole, "Okay Nicole, Blaze is ready."

Sonic and Tails walk to Blaze to see she is relaxed. They sit down on the chairs close by. Blaze relaxes herself on the chair as she looks at the screen.

"Okay, Blaze, just pay attention to the screen, and Sally will help you from there," Nicole says.

"Okay," Blaze says.

Nicole then changes the screen to a white screen and beeping dots begin to appear on the screen.

Sally walks to the chair and says to Blaze, "Alright Blaze, relax and continue to watch the screen."

Blaze nods her head and looks at the screen and sees the beeping dots on it. Blaze continues to look at the screen and begins to feel tired. She continues to watch the screen as she feels sleepier and sleepier. Soon enough, Blaze has fallen into a deep sleep.

"Okay Blaze, I want you to think hard and look deep in your memories. Think of what occurred before Geoffrey and Hershey found out that night. What happened that caused you to lose your memories," Sally says.

As Blaze is in a deep sleep, she is beginning to remember something that happened to her. Blaze's mind flashes backs her to when she is in the Sol Dimension.

Flashback:

Blaze the Cat is flying in the air with fire behind her trail. She stops in anger to see a man similar to Eggman, but has a white mustache, and wears different clothes than him, even if it's red, white, black, and yellow. He also has robots that look like pirates and other kinds of robots.

The man maniacally laughs and says, "Hello Princess Blaze, go glad to see your presence, your highness. How about you be a good little princess and give me the Sol Emeralds."

"No. These emeralds are important to this world. As their master,only I am able to fully use their power," Blaze says.

"Somehow I knew you say that. My newest robot is going to make sure we have you and the emerald," Eggman Nega says.

"Not while I'm still here," Blaze says.

She then brings out the seven Sol Emeralds. She then uses her powers and connects her power and will to the emeralds. Then she transforms into a powerful super form that is surrounded by burning blaze. Blaze and Dr. Nega begins to fight against each other, but unknown to them their robot along with Blaze's super form are beginning to create a rift.
