Chapter 2
TK struggled to rest the next few days, there had been no news about Saya from her parents and she had started to get worried. She constantly debated calling Saya's parents for just an update. "Taylor! Go to Bed!" Her mother yelled down the stairs.
"Mom!" She complains running over to her door and slamming it shut. There was no way she could sleep now, so many things have happened. The school has been closed until further notice since it was blown up by aliens. Saya has been hospitalized and now all social media is flooded with talk about this blue blur named Sonic. TK was more focused on the bracelets that her and her friends are now stuck with. The fact that Sophia also has a bracelet has her thinking that there might be more. What are they and why do they have them? Her phone begins to ring causing her to almost get knocked out of her chair. She sees that brandy is calling her.
"TK! Why haven't you called us!" Brandy and Caroline show up on the screen,
"I'm sorry, I still haven't heard any news." She said as they both frown.
"We figured; we're worried about you." Caroline said, they haven't heard from TK since Saya went off in the ambulance.
"Sorry, I guess I got a little distracted." She looks over her desk which is littered with papers. "These bracelets mean something I'm sure of it."
"You're doing it again." Brandy said giving her a look,
"Doing what?"
"Over obsessing." Caroline said,
"It can't be a coincidence. The bracelets, then the school being attacked by aliens and Sonic… She was really cool." She said,
"Yeah, she was, she sawed off that things arm!" Brandy agreed but Caroline didn't look as amused,
"It was kind of scary." She said.
"I mean, sure it was scary, but we witnessed something amazing." Brandy said as TK's mother bursts through her door.
"Taylor! Go to bed or you're grounded!"
"I gotta go!" TK quickly hangs up the phone call and shuffles to get ready for bed. Both Brandy and Caroline did the same. None of them would say it, but they were exhausted. Meanwhile Sophia stayed awake looking out the window, her phone in hand. She was still worried about Saya. There were so many questions she wanted to ask.
At the Hospital, word had already spread, the surgeons were able to remove the glass shard from Saya's back. And within the first hour she became stable and was healing at an unnatural rate. The Doctor explains to her parents that she should be awake by tomorrow.
TK wakes up to her phone buzzing and she immediately sees that the caller ID is Saya's father. She jumps out of bed, quickly grabbing clothes as she answers the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey TK, It's Saya's Dad." She started getting dressed while talking.
"Hey Mr. Hedge, Is Saya okay?" She didn't hesitate to ask; it's been days and she's been terribly worried.
"She's okay, actually she's doing great… It's a miracle." TK was on the brink of tears; she was so happy. "Anyway, she should be waking up soon. I'm sure she'd be happy to see you and your friends when she does." He said.
"I'll call all of them and we can start heading over."
"One more thing, there's a massive number of reporters in front of the hospital trying to get news about Saya. Try to not let them swarm you."
"Avoid reporters, got it! We'll see you soon." She said hanging up the phone and calling Brandy. She finishes getting dressed right as Brandy picks up.
"What?" She said sleepily,
"Saya's okay."
"What?" She sounded wide awake, "Caroline wake up!" TK could hear Caroline mumbling.
"What's going on?" Caroline asked sitting up,
"Saya's okay!" Brandy said cheerfully.
"Really?"
"Yeah, and we can go see her!" TK said as they both cheer. "Meet me at the Light station in about an hour."
"You don't have to tell us twice! We'll see you soon." Brandy said hanging up the phone. TK begins to call Sophia who fell asleep in front of her window with her phone in hand.
"Hello?" She said,
"Sorry if I woke you, but I thought you'd like to know that Saya's okay." TK said heading down her stairs and grabbing her coat.
"She is?" Sophia stands up,
"Yeah, we're all going to go see her. You're welcome to come, meet us at Light Station in an hour."
"I can do that."
"See you soon." TK said, all the girls quickly got ready and met in front of light square just like TK planned. All four girls had a vastly different style of clothing. TK kept it comfortable with baggy jeans and a hoodie. All of Sophia's clothes were black but gave off a punk kind of style. Brady wore high quality clothes that looked like they came out of a magazine and Caroline dressed in a knee length sun dress with flowers.
"So, she's really okay?" Caroline asked,
"Her dad said she was going to wake up soon." TK explained as they followed her down the street towards the hospital. Caroline walked next to Sophia,
"You don't mind hanging out with us, do you?" She asked,
"I don't mind," Sophia looked away, she wasn't used to being around people for long. She was used to be a loner, it felt, right.
"I'm glad, Saya was very determined to be your friend."
"Yeah, it was kind of annoying." Sophia said with a sigh,
"The best word I could use to describe Saya is headstrong." Brandy said,
"Don't forget reckless." TK said thinking back to all the times Saya got in trouble and she had to pull her out of it.
"You never told us all what happened," Caroline said,
"I'll let Saya tell it, she'd probably be able to explain it better." They all turn the corner and see the horde of reporters swarming the entrance of the hospital. They all used a door to the side of the automatic doors to avoid them as they go to the front counter. They are escorted to Saya's room as they can hear arguing inside. Brandy opens the door, and they see Saya standing on top of the bed.
"We need to run a few more tests!" The doctor demanded,
"And you're not doing any tests on me unless I get a chili dog!" She argued. She didn't look injured at all, not a cut or bruise that any of them could see. They both stop and stare at the four guests standing outside the door. The doctor clears his throat and straightens his posture.
"It seems you have guests. I'll be back later." He said walking past them.
"I still want that chili dog!" She said sticking his tongue at him as they enter the room, and he slams the door behind him. "Hi!" She jumped off the bed and runs over hugging all of them. They looked at one another extremely confused. Wasn't she in critical condition? TK then noticed there was a weird Blue streak of hair in her bangs. "I'm so happy you're all okay!" She smiles at them brightly.
"Okay, I'm confused…" Brandy said outright, "Shouldn't we be saying that to you? Weren't you in critical condition?" she asked.
"Not only that, but you were also covered in cuts and bruises." Sophia added,
"There isn't a scratch on you." Caroline added.
"And when did you dye your bangs?" TK asked as Saya looks at all of them overwhelmed with questions. She looks over at Sophia confused.
"You didn't tell them?" She asked as the three of them look at Sophia.
"Tell us what?" Brandy asked looking annoyed.
"I… I'm still trying to figure it out myself…" She responded backing away from them as they all glared.
"I mean, technically I don't understand it completely. So, I guess I'll introduce my other half?" She said almost confusing herself.
"Other half?" Caroline asked. The gears in TK's head began to turn, her high energy, the disappearing injuries, the bracelets and now the blue streak in her hair.
"I'm Sonic the Hedgehog." She said,
"What?" Both Caroline and Brandy say. Saya looks at TK confused,
"You don't look surprised." She said.
"I put the pieces together just now." TK explains and Saya smiles.
"Wow, you really did become smart." She teased as she nudged TK's shoulder and they all laugh; Sophia slightly chuckles as well. The doctor bursts though the door with a sour look on his face.
"You're free to go…" He said as Saya cheers and jumps for joy.
"Why did you want her to stay?" Caroline asked the doctor.
"It's not natural, no one can heal injuries that fast. It's not humanly possible." He said, "I wanted to do some more tests.
"Oh, so you wanted to make me a lab rat!" Saya argued,
"In a manner of speaking…" he said,
"I thought I told you to stay away from our daughter!" Saya's father says as he and her mother walk into the room. "I will get a restraining order if I have to." He threatened as the doctor quickly leaves and the tension within the room goes with him.
"Thanks Dad." Saya said.
"Don't let that guy come near any of you," He said looking concerned.
"Here's a change of clothes," Her mom hands her some clothes.
"Trust me, I know when to stay from crazy. Can I go to lunch with my friends? I'm starving!" She said. Both of her parents look at her surprised at her request. She was acting like nothing happened.
"Of course, you can, that might be for the best actually." Her mom said,
"We can divert the reporters swarming the entrance so you all can sneak out." Her father added. "We'll give you a minuet to get dressed." He said as they both leave the five of them alone.
"Alright, I'll get dressed really fast. Then we can juice." She rushes into the next room as the four of them look at each other confused. Saya has never said Juice as verbiage before. But Brandy did remember that when she was Sonic, she did use that phrase. "Okay let's go!" she said already dressed.
"where do you want to eat?" Caroline asked as a sparkle glimmers in Saya's eyes.
"Chili dog!" She said as she walks to the door.
"Have you ever had a chili dog?" TK asked, she's known Saya since they were kids, and she has never seen her eat or even talk about chili dogs.
"Nope!" She smiles as they follow her to the exit. Her parents walk up to the reporters as Saya hides behind all of them and they sneak her out through the side door. They all walk down the street to a Hamburger hut that had Chili dogs. They were all surprised to see her order two of them and begin to scarf them down.
"We understand that hospital food isn't the best, but this is a bit extreme." Brandy said looking at Saya who finished the second chili dog.
"Sorry, it feels like I haven't eaten for days." She says shoving a handful of fries into her mouth.
"As fun as it is watching you stuff your face, I need to go." Sophia said standing up from the table.
"Okay! Thank you again for coming to see me." She smiles at Sophia who looks away from her and quickly leaves.
"We should be going too; My Mom doesn't want us out late." Caroline said as her and Brandy stand up from the table and they wave them off.
"Should we head back?" TK asked,
"No way! The press are probably swarming my house too, we should walk around for a bit until my parent give us the okay. Unless you have to go home too." She said.
"I'm not going anywhere." Saya smiles widely at her. They finish eating and go through some shops. Looking through some of the Isles TK kept glancing at Saya like she was going to disappear. "So, is it cool transforming?"
"It was weird, like I unlocked a part of myself I didn't even know was there." She said looking at a blue jacket. "I think the difficult part is getting new clothes to match my hair." She joked and they both laughed.
"What exactly triggered it?"
"After lunch I started to hear static like all around me as a voice tried to talk to me. First it was warning me, them, it was telling me I could save Sophia when that thing attacked her. I asked it what I needed to do, and it commented my heart already knew the words and you saw the result." She explained.
"Does this have to do with the bracelets?" TK asked,
"Well they are definitely part of it. When I transformed the emerald glowed."
"Don't you mean sapphire?" She looks at Saya's bracelet which was blue not green like Sophia's.
"Oh, yeah, did I say emerald? That's no right." She laughs,
"One more question,"
"Shoot!" She responded, Saya didn't mind the questions.
"What were those things?" TK asked, she still hadn't wrapped her mind around the idea that they are aliens. "And do you think they've left for good?" They are interrupted by the sound of screams coming from outside.
"I think that answered your question…" Saya said as they both run outside. Saya begins to run in the direction that people are running away from. Tk follows her wondering what she thinks she's doing. They both look up and see the aliens in the sky on strange floating devices. In front of the group they both recognized the more decorated one that was at the school. "This way!" Saya grabs TK by the hand and pulls her into a nearby alley.
"What are you going to do?" TK asked as Saya just smiles at her and holds out her left hand. The gem begins to glow.
"The seven servers are the seven chaos, chaos is power, power enriched by the heart, the heart is the controller, the controller serves to unify the chaos... CHAOS CONTROL!" she said as she is engulfed in a blue light and transforms into Sonic she opens her eyes to see their normal brown color had changed to an vibrant green. Before TK could say any kind of protest that this wasn't a good idea she was already gone in a blue blur. She turns around looking out from the alley seeing Sonic standing on top of a statue to make her presence known.
"Can she really take them all on by herself?" TK muttered to herself,
"...ils…" TK heard as she looks around thinking someone was nearby, but there was no one.
"It looks like you didn't figure it out the first time we met." Sonic said,
"Yes, fortunately for me the good doctor gave me a hand." The creature said showing of a metal prosthetic hand.
"HA! Bad pun! Too bad it still won't help you." Sonic said.
"We'll see about that." She said as they began their attack, Sonic shoots up the side of a building taking out two of the creatures but then a third one knocks her back to the ground. TK could instantly tell that she was at a disadvantage with them being in the air and she needs to be moving to build up momentum.
"You know, last time we met I gave you my name. I think it's only fair you give me yours." Sonic said sarcastically as she takes out two more and is thrown to the ground again.
"How rude of me," The creature said playing along, "We are the Zarkon," She said as Sonic can take down three more only to be struck down.
"Do you have your own name? or do you all go by Zarkon?" She said standing up and dusting off some of the dirt on her gloves. "Do you all go by a number? Oh! Maybe you're all clones!"
"My name is Spira, I command all of the Zarkon" She said, the tone of her voice was starting to sound aggravated.
"Good to know, so if I defeat you all your lackeys will run away." Sonic said as she jumps and heads for Spira.
"Enough of your talking!" She quickly holds out her hand and catches Sonic midair by the throat.
"Wow…" She coughs, "Good catch." Sonic said grasping onto the metal hand struggling to get free. Her feet trying to kick or make purchase with anything. If Spira drops Sonic, she wouldn't have the momentum to break her fall. TK's mind was racing, all she could do was watch but deep down all she wanted to do is run to Sonics side and help her.
"You can help her…" TK hears again, a disembodied voice just like how Saya described.
"How?"
"Remember what Sonic said…" The voice said, TK felt like she was going crazy. But if it can help Sonic, she'd give it a try.
"The... the seven servers... are the seven chaos, Um, chaos is power. Power enriched by the heart... the heart is the controller... the controller serves to unify the chaos. Chaos Control." She said as she's enveloped by a bright golden light. Her mind is flooded with memories of another life. Her light brown hair had become blonde as fox ears appear on her head. She had on a yellow sweatshirt and white scarf with matching white shorts. Her shoes were red with white tips like Sonics. Her eyes stayed blue and she had two fox tails. TK understood that she was no longer just herself but also Miles Prower, Sonics best friend. More importantly, she knew how to fly.
"You're weak when your feet can't touch the ground." Spira said,
"We'll… See about that." She continues to struggle as Spira simply let's go, "Crap." She begins to fall.
"Sonic!" She said catching her by the hands as they both fly in the air.
"What?" Sonic said as she's about to ask if it was TK.
"It's Miles, but I think you call me Tails." I explained as Sonic smiles brightly then turns and smirks at Spira.
"Well Spira, looks like I don't need the ground to defeat you, c'mon Tails Let's do it to it!" Tails throws Sonic at some of the enemies and as she begins to fall Tails catches her. After a few more are taken out Spira takes the chance while they are distracted to begin fleeing.
"This isn't over Sonic the Hedgehog, I'll be back." Spira said as they disappear into the distance as both Sonic and Tails stick their tongues out in that direction.
"And we'll be ready, because now I have a partner." She said smiling at Tails.
"We can talk future plans later; it looks like your fans are starting to come out of the woodwork." Tails said flying them towards one of the skyscrapers. They land and transform back into themselves. There was no doubt in TK's mind that the bracelets are the source of their power.
"This is way past cool!" Saya said with an excited jump, "We gotta tell the others!" She said as she grabs TK's hand and they run down the stairs. Taking a few breaks for TK to catch her breath. They sneak by all the reporters and go back to Saya's house. Saya seemed excited but TK knew this was only going to get more complicated. And now that she remembers everything, she worries what will come next.
A week has passed since Sonic and Tails made their debut. Both were viral on social media, people were wondering who they were, where they came from and if there were more. Saya asked everyone to meet at Brandy's house to talk about all that's happened. Her house was the easiest since her parent were rarely home so they wouldn't have to worry about eavesdropping.
"Do you think we should make tea?" Brandy asked Caroline as she sips her tea.
"I think so, tea is very relaxing and Saya is always full of energy now." She said with a smile as Brandy walks over to the cabinet and pulls out a teapot and turns on the kettle.
"I don't know about you, but she's become exhausting. I swear she's actively on seven energy drinks." Brandy lets out a sigh as she put the tea leaves into the teapot.
"Do you think it has to do with Sonic?"
"Definitely! She's become a completely different person." She said,
"I wouldn't say completely, but some of her quirks have heightened." She corrected.
"You're probably right. But she's been acting weird and I don't know about you, but I'm worried about her." She said as the kettle whistles and she pour the water into the teapot.
"We should keep an eye on her then, I bet TK would agree." They both nod to each other in acknowledgement of their plan to keep an eye on says as the doorbell rings. Brandy walks over and opens the door to see Sophia standing there.
"Hi, I wasn't sure if I had the right place." She said looking uncomfortable being in a new place.
"Come on in, we just made a pot of tea would you like some?" she asked.
"Sure." Sophia said as Brandy leads her to the dining room table, and she sits down next to Caroline.
"Hello Sophia," she said with a smile.
"Hi," She said as Brandy walks back over to the table with a tray with the pot of tea and a few teacups with cream and sugar. "So, you live alone?" she asked as Brandy hands her a cup of tea.
"Yeah, my parents travel a lot so they got me my own place so I wouldn't feel so alone in a big house." She explained pouring Caroline more tea.
"Don't you get lonely?"
"Nope, Caroline is my neighbor. She and her mom stop by often to make sure I eat." Brandy said smiling at Caroline.
"That reminds me, did you eat this morning?" Caroline asked with a motherly tone that sent a chill down both Brandy and Sophia's spines.
"Yes…" Brandy answered backing away out of instinct as the doorbell rings again. "I'll be back." She goes to the door and opens it to see TK standing there. She puts her hand up as a wave but before she could say hello, she's tackled to the ground by Saya who blindsided them for coming out of nowhere.
"Please!" Saya begged TK holding onto her waist.
"NO!" She refused looking flustered.
"But I never got a chance to pet them!" She whined as they both stand up and give Brandy a greeting hug before walking inside.
"What are you two talking about?" She asked closing and locking the door behind them,
"I want TK to transform into Tails so I can pet her tails." Saya said with a huge smile on her face. "They looked so soft!" TK looks even more flustered as she refuses again, and they all laugh.
"Do you mind if we get on with this? I have to run some errands for my mom." Sophia said as Saya stand up straight pretending to be serious and clears out her throat.
"Well then, let's get down to business!" Saya said walking over and having a seat next to Sophia. TK sits next to Saya and Brandy takes out an extra chair and sits between TK and Caroline. Caroline hands both Saya and TK a cup of tea and they thank her with a nod. "After that last fight we now know that they trigger our transformations, but why? And do they have anything to do with the Zarkon?" Saya said.
"I don't think they have anything to do with the Zarkon." TK said, "From what I gathered it seemed like the Zarkon were surprised they were resisted. I don't think they saw Earth as a threat."
"But why us? Why did we have to find these things?" Sophia asked sounding annoyed,
"Because we're the chosen ones!" Saya said with a smile,
"You've been reading too much Manga." Brandy said,
"Oh yeah? Then why was my transformation forced?" she asked.
"What makes you think yours was forced?" Caroline asked.
"Well, TK explained to me how she heard a soft voice tell her how to transform… Mine was a little more painful. It felt like I got hit in the head with a frying pan and then my head was going to explode."
"You collapsed in the middle of class because of it." Sophia asked,
"And that's how you two didn't get caught like the rest of us." TK said. "You were taking Saya to the nurses office." Sophia nods to her in confirmation.
"I don't think we were supposed to transform yet, I have a feeling it has nothing to do with the Zarkon." Saya said looking down at her tea disassociating for a second. The four of them look at her confused at her silence.
"Saya?" Brandy calls out and she snaps out of it,
"What? Oh, sorry I must have zoned out." She chuckles,
"So, who do you think will transform next?" Caroline asked changing the subject as Brandy and TK give each other a look of concern.
"Well, there's only three left." Saya said.
"Are you sure?" TK asked,
"What does that mean?" Sophia asked,
"We thought it was just the four of us but then Sophia has one too?" TK explained.
"How many do you think are out there?" Brandy asked as they all paused in silence for a moment. The silence is interrupted by the sound of Saya's stomach growling.
"Man, I'm hungry!" She said, "Let's go get some tacos!" She suggested as they all look at her.
"I have to get going anyways." Sophia said,
"Oh, do you mind dropping me off at the train station?" Caroline asked Sophia,
"Sure,"
"Hey! Why is Caroline better friends with Sophia than I am?" Saya asked,
"Because you're annoying." Sophia said as her and Caroline head towards the door and leave,
"Well that was rude!" Saya said looking dejected, "Oh well, Let's get going!" She shrugs it off. They all leave the house and begin walking.
"We could have just taken my car." Brandy said,
"It's so nice out why don't we walk?" Saya asked,
"But…"
"Just humor her it's only ten minutes form here. Maybe she'll burn off some of that energy." TK whispers to Brandy who lets out a loud sigh.
"Fine but don't think this is a regular thing. Not all of us are athletes, remember?" Brandy said.
"Sweet!" Saya said walking ahead, they both noticed she'd have to focus on slowing down her pace so she wouldn't leave her friends behind.
"Are we sure she didn't hit her head when she was injured?" Brandy whispered to TK.
"Honestly, I'm questioning it too. It's almost like she's a completely different person. After I got my memories back, I noticed I did a few things differently, but this is weird like she's becoming Sonic."
"Hey! Don't be talking about me behind my back!" Saya joked as she saw them talking as they made it to the taco stand. They all grab their food and sit in a nearby park enjoying the nice weather.
"It feels good to relax." TK said,
"So, when do you think they'll start up school again." Brandy asked,
"With our luck, in the middle of summer." Tk said with a defeated look.
"I'm going to get a few more tacos!" Saya said jumping up to her feet.
"You've already had four tacos!" TK argues but Saya was already in front of the taco stand purchasing more tacos. "How big do you think her stomach is now?"
"I think it tripled in size." Brandy said as they laugh. Saya runs back and sits next to Brandy. She takes a huge bite out of her tack with a smile on her face.
"Who do you think the other two members are?" Saya said in between bites and they both look at her confused.
"You mean Sophia and Caroline?" Brandy asked,
"Nope! There's five of us, so we're missing two members of our group." Saya said.
"Of course! It goes with the saying" TK said piecing together what Saya meant.
"What saying?" Brandy asked,
"We say a chant before we transform, and the first part is, the seven servers are the seven chaos." TK explained to her. Brandy looked a little confused, a part of her didn't want to understand. "There are seven bracelets total."
"Meaning we don't know where two of them are." Brandy said as the ground begins to shake right as Saya takes a bite out of her sixth taco.
"Oh! C'mon!" Saya yelled with her mouth full. They all look up and see the Zarkon flying past the park.
"We gotta go!" TK said,
"But… My tacos!" Saya said,
"We'll get you more tacks later, let's go!" Brandy grabs Saya by the wrist causing her to drop her taco. She whimpers about her lost taco as Brandy drags her behind a nearby building.
"Stay back and out of sight." TK told Brandy as both her and Saya hold out their hand with their bracelets.
"The seven servers are the seven chaos, chaos is power, power enriched by the heart, the heart is the controller, the controller serves to unify the chaos... CHAOS CONTROL!" They both say as Saya is wrapped in a Blue light and TK is wrapped in a golden light. As the light fades it shows them as Sonic and Tails. Brandy was taken back for a second, barely able to recognize her friends in these strange forms.
"Alright! Let's do it to it!" Sonic said,
"Do you always have to say that?" Tails asked as Sonic nods quickly as they grab hands and Tails fly's them off. Brandy was in shock for a moment, not form the transformations she just witnessed. But the fact that she knew her part to play was coming whether she liked it or not. After she snaps out of it, she sneaks out from behind the building to watch.
"Back for another beating?" Sonic said with a whistle, "I see you brought reinforcements." She said not sounding impressed.
"Yes, today I feel I have the upper hand." Spira said, she was holding a strange looking weapon in her hand.
"Is that another bad pun since you lost yours?" Sonic laughed as Spira waves her free hand and the other Zarkon start their attack. Brandy kept her eye on Spira, her lackeys were fighting Sonic, but she just watched. Was she saving it? She gets distracted by the sound of a screaming child and turns to see a little girl standing in the park alone and scared. She doesn't hesitate to run out to the girl right as there is a nearby explosion.
"Sonic!" Tails gets her attention as she turns to see Spira aiming the strange gun at Brandy,
"Go, run!" Brandy told the girl pointing towards other bystanders. The girl quickly runs away as Brandy turns back to see Spira pull the trigger as an orange ball is shot in her direction. She was frozen with fear, she knew that she couldn't dodge it in time.
"Look out!" Sonic yells as she pushes Brandy out of the way right before it impacts her and hits Sonic in the back and the momentum throws Sonic into a nearby wall.
"Sonic!" Brandy yells standing up and seeing Sonic pinned to the wall by a glue-like substance. Brandy knew she needed to get out of there. She'd continue to be a hinderance, but Sonic was in trouble. She hides in a nearby bush to conceal herself. Tails flies over to Sonic to try and help her off the wall.
"Stay away Tails or you'll get stuck too!" Sonic said struggling against the glue only to be pulled back.
"But what about you?" She asked
"I'll… think of… something." She continued to struggle as Spira began to laugh. They both glare at Spira,
"Look at you Sonic! You look like a fly caught in a web." She said laughing again,
"Really? Isn't that how you look all the time?" Sonic said with a cocky smirk. Both Spira looked shocked and insulted by her words. She begins to frown.
"How I would love to kill you right now, but you're wanted alive…" She said.
What?" Tails said flying in between Sonic and Spira in a guarding position.
"Tails… Don't" Sonic continued to struggle, but no matter how much she struggled that glue had her caught. Brandy began to blame herself if she hadn't gone out there Sonic wouldn't be in danger.
"You can do it too…" A soft voice echoed in her head. She knew what to do and there was no going back. She held out her hand still hiding inside the bush as she began to quietly say.
"The seven servers are the seven chaos, chaos is power, power enriched by the heart, the heart is the controller, the controller serves to unify the chaos... chaos control." She's surrounded in a purple light causing Spira to stop her attack. Brandy begins to remember who she was. Blaze the Cat guardian of the Soul Emeralds. She wore a Purple tailcoat jacket and white leggings with red and white boots with a white fur cuffs and gloves that matched. Her hair was a light purple that was tightly tied back and spiked up. She opened her golden eyes feeling a raw fire within her. She jumps out and stands in front of Sonic.
"How?" Spira looked shocked, "How many of you are there?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," Blaze said walking over next to Sonic and placing her hand on top of the glue.
"Stop! You'll…" Blaze begins to focus heat into her hand causing the glue to become warm to the point that the glue loses its stickiness and Sonic falls off the wall. She jumps back up to her feet "I'm free!" She cheered, "Thanks…" She looked confused to what to call her.
"Blaze," She answered,
"Thanks Blaze!" She smiles and nods at Sonic. Tails flies down to stand next to them and they all take a battle-ready stance. "Alright Spira, I'll be nice today and give you a chance to retreat." She taunted, but really, she was trying to hide that her and Tails were tired.
"I'll be back." She said starting to leave, "Mark my words I'll be back!" She said as all the Zarkon disappear into the distance. Both Sonic and Tails let out a sigh of relief, Blaze looked a little disappointed that she didn't get a chance to truly fight.
"She may come back, but we'll be ready." Sonic said to them with a thumbs up. None of them realized that reporters have already ran towards them in a swarm. Quickly overwhelmed by the flashing lights.
"What are those things?" One man asked as question after question was thrust at them.
"Who are you all really?" Another asked as Sonic grins,
"I'm fairly sure you've already heard of me! But this is Tails and Blaze." The pictures continue, "And we're the Freedom Fighters! We're here to stop the Zarkon."
"But who are the Zarkon?"
"Don't know, now, no more questions, Gotta Juice!" Sonic gives Blaze and Tails a look as Sonic runs up the building behind them and out of sight as Blaze takes Tail's hand and they fly off meeting near Brandy's house.
"Well that was subtle." Brandy said as she changes back,
"Couldn't escape it forever." Saya said changing back as well as TK.
"Now that Spira knows that we're a threat she's going to keep up the ante." TK said as they walk into Brandy's house.
"So what? We'll beat her every time!" Saya said confidently,
"It was a little scary there for a sec." TK said,
"Na! I had everything under control. Besides, Now Blaze is here to help!"
"I'm just glad you're both safe, and that's all the matters." Brandy said hugging them both. She didn't want to tell them how scared she was about all of this. But now that she knows who she was she feels more confident that if they are together, they will stay safe.
