"What is going on?" She shouted. "I promise I will explain everything when we get out of this, but this isn't a good time." Sonic turned to the group. "I have an idea, but first we all run with Silver creating the shield to the door so Amy and Tails can get safely out."
"Absolutely not!" Amy and Tails shouted. "That wasn't a request. You're not safe, you don't have the skills to protect yourselves. I can't let you put yourselves in danger. Amy, for once I'm trying to be responsible." He pleaded with his sister. Something about what he said must have convinced her because she softened her gaze and nodded. She grabbed her baby brother, who began to protest. "Knuckles, you grab Silver, Silver you focus on keeping the shield up long enough to get them to the door. We all run and protect them. Let's go." Everyone nodded and began to follow the directions. Silver was glad he didn't have to focus on running and keeping up this barrier that he didn't even know he could make until today. The made it to the door and Silver focused on parting the barrier by the door just enough for them to get out. Once they were out of the door and in the hands of security, they six turned back to see what they could do. "Sonic!" He heard his sister shout. He turned to look at her. "I'm proud of you!" She told him and smiled. A large grin spread on his face. "I'll see you later." He told her and followed his friends.
"Now what?" Knuckles asked. "We fight, take down as many drones as we can and hopefully someone else shows up to help." He said. They all nodded in understanding. Everyone got into a fighting stance, surrounding Silver to prepare to protect him in case he needed to catch his breath. "Drop it." Sonic commanded and Silver dropped his hands, catching his breath as the rest of the team started destroying as many of the thousand drones that surrounded them as they could. Sonic dashed through them, punching when he could and redirecting bullets from his friends to the drones. Shadow fired spears left and right, usual destroying more than one drone at a time. Knuckles punched as may drones as he could. Blaze set them on fire. Rouge attacked drones from above, spinning so fast as she came down that she was like a large drill. Eventually Silver caught his breath and began to help in the fight. All the while they each tried to avoid bullet's, lasers, and destroyed drones.
Blaze hit some more drones with fire. Silver used his psychokinesis to whack two of them into each other. "Blaze, I have something I have to say." Silver said, destroying another drone. Blaze dodged a blast from another. "Silver, I don't know if this is the best time." Blaze told him. "I, I get that. I do, but there is one thing." Silver dodged another blast. "You can do it Silver!" Sonic shouted encouragingly as he ran and punched some drones. "Can you say it while we fight?" Blaze asked. "Yes." Silver paused long enough to launch one drone back into another five. "Blaze, I've been doing a lot of thinking." Blaze launched another blast from her hand. "And well, you see..." Silver dodged laser. "I don't really know how to put this into words." He told her. He was losing courage. "Come on Silver, you got this!" Knuckles shouted to his friend as he destroyed some more drones with his fists. "Blaze, I love you!" Silver shouted. "I love like I want to go on long romantic walks with you, I want to hold your hand, I want to take you on dates, and I kind of want to kiss you." He finished his admission very red in the face and now fidgeting with his tye. Blaze walked up to him, now seemingly oblivious to the onslaught of attacks. Blaze gently grabbed his face. "I love you too." She said and then she kissed him. "Come on guys! Not the time!" Shadow shouted and threw a few chaos spears to take down some drones that were going to attack them. Silver and Blaze moved in perfect sync with each other, taking in every second of their kiss, oblivious to the world around them. Silver grabbed Blazes hand on his face and the interlaced their fingers, drinking everything in. After a minute, they both needed some air. Silver smiled like an absolutely lovesick idiot and Blaze smiled like a lovestruck fool. "Blaze, in case we don't make it today, I just needed you to know, and I wanted to know, and I wanted to know if you would be my girlfriend."
"Yes." She said simply and smiled wider. Silver did too and they quickly gave each other another kiss. "Guys!" Rouge shouted. They both looked over and their four friends fighting. "Oh yeah!" Silver said. "Sorry!" Blaze said. They let go of each other and ran to keep fighting.
Sonic was starting to lose hope. It felt like for every destroyed drone there was five more. He didn't know what to do except keep fighting. But this was only his second real fight, and this time there was no James, no Society Members, and there was more than one target, and they all had artificial intelligence. It took Sonic a minute to notice, but a drone was aiming directly at Shadow's heart. He knew he wouldn't be able to redirect the bullet in time, he wasn't going to be fast enough, but would be fast enough for this.
