Silver pulled his car keys out of his jacket pocket as we entered the garage. His grey Mercedes sat there idly. I stood there for about a second to admire it and ran to the passenger door, opening it quickly as I jumped in.
" Amy is in super, mega grave danger. What CAN we do, exactly?" Silver stuck the key into the slot and turned it, facing me with a concerned look.
I stood there, dumbstruck. He was right. Even if we did get to Shadow's house and busted through the door, ready to attack...Amy had a gun pointed to her head. If there was anything we could do, Shadow would've done it by now!
"Uhhhmm..." I looked down at my hands and I immedietely had a plan. My lips curled into a smirk and I just nodded at Silver. "Silver...I've got an idea! Just drive us there, and make sure to be real quiet. In order for this to work, Might can't know we're there."
He looked at me in confusion, but shrugged it off and turned out of his driveway. His car purred as we raced through the streets, keeping our eyes out for Shadow's home. I spotted it and Silver parked across the street.
"Okay Silver, you can stay here if you want or you can come with me. You really aren't part of the plan, but it's nice to have you around if I need some quick back-up idea." I said swiftly, unbuckling the seatbelt and stepping out of the car.
"Hey, can I be in on this plan of yours? Because I am so, totally...lost!" Silver hissed.
"Keep your voice down, silly...just follow me."
We walked silently through Shadow and Amy's yard. I turned and faced the house, my hands slowly conjuring a fire. Silver perked up and he got the idea.
"Uh, Blaze? Don't you think Shadow and Amy will be mad if you torch their house?" he asked.
"Oh yes, Silver. Shadow will vaporize me because I saved his wife from losing her head. Right, I think they matter more to each other than all of their stuff. Besides, Shadow works with G.U.N...he'll get more money in no time. Now shut up and stand back." I focused on the flame in my hands and reached for the wall that was in front of me.
The flames slowly licked the house and decided that it tasted good. The fire began to spread at a rather swift pace, so I stood back a little to see my plan coming into effect. Already, I could imagine a sprinkler go off, momentarily distracting Mighty, just long enough to-
"Hey, what did you do?!" Mighty's voice came from the window above. "No, Shadow...step back! Give me my gun! Now! Sha-!"
Mighty's voice was drowned out with a growl from Shadow and a gasp, set with sobs, from Amy. Silver ran inside to get Amy out of the burning house and Shadow jumped out of the window, Mighty squirming effortlessly in his grip.
It didn't take that long for the fire department and a bunch of G.U.N agents to show up. Lucky for Shadow and Amy, the flames were put out before the house had taken any real damage. It just needed a fine paint job. And as for Mighty, well, G.U.N has him locked up pretty tight.
Silver drove me home, and I felt really good about myself. I mean, yes...that sounds extremely selfish, but hey! I saved the Ultimate Lifeform's wife! I deserve something...like a medal or something. Eh, knowing that Amy is safe is good enough for me.
