Author's note: It's been a while, but I'm still here. Take a look at this. It looks like my story isn't as off as I thought.

Chapter 3: Please, tell me about yourself
-
Sonic and Blaze lay on the sandy beach together. "You have quite the wacky bunch of friends," Blaze finally said. "I've never met anyone quite like them back where I come from."
"Back where you come from?" Sonic asked. "Where exactly is that?"
Blaze sighed. "I can't be sure, but it's a kingdom called Kettia. My mother is the queen of Kettia, which means that I'll be queen when she's dead."
"Interesting," Sonic replied. "But why did you say you couldn't be sure?"
"Because I can't be sure how I got here," the princess explained. "I was busy polishing our kingdom's treasures, the Sol Emeralds, and there was a big flash of light. When it cleared, I was in THIS world, lying in the middle of a forest. No traces of my kingdom remained. It troubles me …"
"W-Wait a moment. Repeat that part about the Sol Emeralds. Are they anything like the Chaos Emeralds?"
"The what?"
The blue hedgehog laughed a little. "Oh, yeah. There are these things called Chaos Emeralds in our world. There are seven of them, and they come in red, yellow, green, blue, violet, grey, and cyan. When used correctly, they have great power."
"You just described the Sol Emeralds," Blaze exclaimed in disbelief.
"I did? Can you show me one?"
"I wish I could, but I have no idea where they are. They were all in my hands before that light, but when it cleared, they were gone. I feel it's my duty to try to find them, but I fear the worst."
As if that last line was a stage cue, Tails rushed up to Sonic and Blaze. "Sonic! Sonic! You'll never guess what I found while I was on recon in Holy Summit!"
"A mountain lion?" Sonic replied sarcastically.
The two-tailed fox was a little amused by this remark, but not much. "Haha… no, that's not it. It's some kind of jewel. It looks a lot like a Chaos Emerald, but it isn't quite the same shape. Here, I'll show it to you."
When Tails produced the gem in question, Blaze nearly fainted. "That's a … that's one of the seven Sol Emeralds!"
Tails blinked. "Sol Emeralds? Blaze, what in the world are you talking about?"
"I can explain it to you," Sonic responded, "if you've got some time."
By pure chance (and as a convenient plot device), Knuckles had arrived to see if Blaze was interested in another battle, and Amy and Cream were there to visit Sonic. They all sat in and listened as Sonic and Blaze explained everything- about Kettia, about the Sol Emeralds, about the mysterious light that hit Blaze.
"I swear you made all that up," Knuckles said once the explanation was concluded.
Amy silenced the echidna. "Now just a moment, Knuckles. I know Sonic, and he isn't the kind of guy who'd tell fibs. If Sonic says all this is true, then I believe him." Knuckles didn't like being disagreed with, but he held back his anger.
Tails concurred. "All in favor of helping Blaze recover the Sol Emeralds, say aye!"
Six ayes later, the group agreed to meet in Tails' lab to plan a course of action.
