After an hour long flight, Silver spotted a large structure jutting out from the endless forest like a gray tumor. The dull structure suddenly flared to life as search lights pulsed the skies and a vast array of tracer rounds burst forth from hidden gun emplacements. It seems that Robotnik had seen their approach. Thankfully, these defensive guns seemed to be as accurate as anything else built by the doctor, so Silver was able to evade them easily.
They landed in front of what appeared to be the main gates and immediately set about the business of ripping the mechanical guards apart. Having regained control over his powers flying, combat was a lot easier for Silver this time around. After destroying the mechanized abominations at the gate, Blaze used her fiery powers tear down the main entrance, and the two charged through the facility, visiting ruin upon any robots that opposed them. After destroying many more robots, Silver and Blaze found Doctor Robotnik standing on a ledge above them.
He turned to face them and said, "You've wasted so much of my time, I could kill you."
"Save it Robotnik! For the sake of the future, we won't let you complete your doomsday weapon!" Blaze shouted.
"The weapon is only a defense mechanism, in case the earth's weak leaders don't see things my way…"
"It will be fired, and it will destroy the earth!"
"Ah so it does work. That's great news considering that it was just completed."
Silver spoke up, "Completed? How can that be?"
Robotnik chuckled maniacally at this, "How can you doubt me, when you've been running through the weapon this whole time?" With those words, the circular room was flooded with red light and the whole facility began to shake. The platform on which Robotnik stood sunk down and linked into a mass of metal. This metal all came together to form a giant mecha which step forward as Robotnik shouted, "You'll never stop the weapon from firing!"
Blaze immediately rushed forward, wreathed in flame. She struck the mecha with extreme force, but left only a small patch of ash on the metal beat's armor. Robotnik cackled as he channeled a massive amount of energy into the machine's mechanical armor. With frightening speed, the fist struck Blaze, sending her flying and clearly injured.
"Blaze!" Silver cried out, seeing his feline comrade struck down. In that moment, anger overtook him and his eyes began to glow with the green light of Psychokinesis. Crackling energy enveloped his body, as Silver reached out with his hands and clenched them into fists. He looked around the room before spotting Blaze's broken form, and when he finally set his eyes upon her, a stream of images suddenly poured into his mind.
He saw fire and a destroyed city, looking like the future that Blaze had described. He saw his first training sessions with Psychokinesis, when he first managed to lift small stones with his mind. But above all he saw… Blaze, her beautiful form shooting through the sky as she leapt through ruined buildings. Then he saw the two of them as a couple, their lips locked as they stood in a tight embrace. He and Blaze were more than comrades in arms, they were lovers and he remembered it now. He remembered everything.
Snapping back to reality, Silver saw the result of his Psychokinetic outburst. Robotnik's machine lay broken underneath several massive pieces of the ceiling that he had apparently torn down using his immense power. Robotnik was crawling out of his ruined mecha when he shouted, "You fool! My doomsday device has but a fraction of its power remaining! Thankfully, that'll be all I need to destroy you! Initiate Self-destruct sequence Primaris!" A mechanical voice confirmed the order as Doctor Robotnik escaped the mecha and climbed into an escape pod. As the pod took off, klaxons sounded from all sides as the base rumbled.
Silver scanned the room, his only concern was Blaze. He spotted her once again and glided over using his Psychokinesis. Cradling her in his arms, he shot out from the roof of the facility as the self-destruct sequence completed its counter. The force of the explosion seemed to rouse Blaze from her collapsed state, as she instinctively grabbed on tightly to Silver as the two soared high above the fire.
"Silver! Did we… did we win." She said, clearly still dazed.
"Yes, we've made a good future here. And now I remember everything… my love."
"Silver…" Blaze said starring deep into his eyes, tears of joy forming in her eyes. As the two considered to soar through the air, they moved closer to each other until their lips met, a confirmation of their love which Silver had recently remembered.
