A little friendship thing and a campfire to spend the night in a forest before the big battle! Hope you like it!

Chapter 17: Campfire by Moonlight

A few hours later while searching began, the sky turned into a darkish purple and they noticed that it's almost dark. Blitz looked at the sky and asked, "Does anyone have a flashlight? Or a candle?"

"Why do you ask?" asked Amy.

"Cause it's getting late."

Amy looked at the sky and saw the sun going down on the horizon of the island and realize that it's getting dark out. Cream and Cheese were kinda scared about it being so dark out. Blitz looked at Cream and she started whimpering a little. He smiled at her and told her, "Hey, it's gonna be okay."

"I'm scared of the dark, Blitz." Cream said.

Cheese squeaked in fear and started shaking a little. Cream hugged her tightly and told her, "It's okay. I won't let anything happen to you."

"I think we need to search for Movu in the morning." Noah said.

"He's right. It is getting kinda late anyway." Sonic said.

"Are you serious?! We barely got started. I say we're gonna search for this dude all night if we have to." Knuckles said.

"Dude, it can get dangerous out here, even at night." Danny said.

"There's nothing more that I can't handle. When you're the guardian of the Master Emerald, only the strong survive."

"Well, then you're a goner." Amy said.

"One more time....just one more time!"

All of a sudden, they heard a scream out of nowhere. They turned around and Blitz noticed Tails falling down on the floor, looking like he's in trouble. Acting fast, Blitz came by quickly and saw Tails struggling to get up. He grunted with every effort, but it seems as though he's seriously injured.

"What happened?" asked Blitz.

"Well, I was tired and all of a sudden, without looking, I scraped my knee and it hurts really badly." Tails said.

"Let me see it."

Blitz looked at the injured leg and there was a little blood coming out of it and he held his wounded leg and within five seconds, he squeezed it gently and then, all of a sudden as he lets go, the blood disappeared and the injure has healed quickly. Tails rolled his leg and didn't feel any pain anymore. He was surprised that it was the second time he healed Tails.

"You okay now?"

Tails smiled and said, "I am now. Thanks."

"No problem."

Moments later, the wood started burning and it was a campfire out of the forest and most of the gang got together around the fire, to keep themselves warm and also some light around it. Blitz brought in some snacks out of his bag and lent them to everyone.

"So, this is the second time you healed Tails with your healing powers." Sonic said.

"Yep. The healing powers sort of made everything heal in a quick second. Like a bruise, scar, scrape, injury or any types of stuff, I can heal it faster that you can say 'windpiper'."

"Windpiper?" Amy asked.

"It's supposed to be a joke."

"This is the second time that you saved my life." Tail said.

"Well, what do you expect? You're like my little brother to me at times. Ever since we've been bonding together, it's like I can finally find someone I can relate to easily and always feel like I need someone by my side with many problems I have. I know you're Sonic's best friend and all and I would never take that friendship away from you." Blitz said.

Sonic looked at him and asked, "What makes you think that?"

"To be honest, Tails told me how much you've been like a brother to him and I felt that if he was my best friend, then it would mean you could feel, you know..."

"Left out?"

"Yeah, that."

"What gave you that idea? It's fine with me."

"Really?"

"Hey, you healed my best buddy two times and I think he should be lucky to have a friend like you. You've gotten along and that's important to me."

"How'd you figured that out, Sonic?" Tails asked.

"Well, I can pretty much see you guys being friends and all and I appreciated Blitz looking out for you."

"Thanks. So, I have no idea why Hazel Island voted you 'the last hope' here. But, the rumors were circulating because they have heard of your existance several years ago that you prevented some old dude's attempt to destroy the island."

"Which old dude?"

"About this tall, has red jacket, dark glasses, ugly nose, hairy ugly-looking moustache, quirky but super-creepy."

"I think I might know who you're talking about."

"You do? Who?"

"Eggman." they said, in unison.

"It's his way of building an entire empire on this island and destroying all the people that live here."

"That's terrible."

"I think I would've knocked him out with my fists." Knuckles said.

"If you knocked him out with your fists, they'd be broken and swollen." Amy said.

Knuckles growled and said, "Okay! I have had it up to here with your ridiculous comments!"

"And I've had it up to here with your ugly face and your attitude!"

"Now you're starting to sound like Rouge."

"At least I have some fashion sense."

"You have no fashion sense whatsoever!"

"Says you!"

"It can go on for hours, can it?" asked Noah.

"Just until they stop talking to each other." Sonic said.

"So how are we gonna find Movu before he finds us?" asked Blitz.

"I guess if he spots us, we'll be ready."

"Yeah, there's nothing that this team couldn't do." Knuckles said.

"I gotta admit, you're right about that." Amy said.

Knuckles eyes widened up, then slowly lowered down with a smirk and said, "You said I'm right. That proves it! After all, what I say is always right."

"Only for a moment."

"Hey, guys. We should get some sleep. We've got a long day ahead of us." Sonic said.

"Good idea."

As they were all asleep, Blitz was the only one awake, thinking about his past life and facing Movu after four years of taking his family down. He was tossing and turning on his sleep and he sighed softly. He closed his eyes and then opened them and then, he creeps out of the sleeping bag and went outside to collect his thoughts. Before he left, he brought his guitar along with him and walked across the beach and saw the moonlight shining on him, which shined on him as well.

He felt the wind stroking his fur and he started playing a little song to sort of think some thoughts in it. After 3 minutes, he stopped playing and heard some footsteps from behind. He turned around and it was only Sonic. He sighed and asked, "How'd you find me?"

"I just sped around and then, I heard the music play."

Blitz scoffed and said, "Figures."

Sonic knew that there was something up with Blitz and asked, "Something on your mind?"

Blitz sighed heavily and said, "I'm not so sure about what's gonna happen when Movu finds me? I don't want to get you guys in danger in any way."

"Hey, you know you're not alone, right? Like I said, we're gonna be behind you, 100 percent."

"You really think so?"

"Trust me, I know so."

"I can understand you now. I know you're totally fearless and all. Maybe you are the last hope for Hazel Island."

"That's true. I mean, I'm fast, you know. I always rescue my friends in the best way that I possibly can and I'm always there for them, whenever they need me. With you, I think you're just like the spitting image of myself, only different."

"You make it sound so sure."

"That's how I go."

"It's true. And I'm really grateful to have you guys by my side, simply because you're Sonic the Hedgehog, of course."

Sonic chuckled and said, "Don't you forget it."

"Cool."

"Come on. We've got a huge day on our hands."

"Okay."

The two walked back to the campsite, wondering what tomorrow will have in store for them. For Blitz, he feels definitely confident that his friends will strike back against Movu and they're ready for anything amazing and adventurous, and I think he's getting the perks on being a normal teenager to endure himself in a perilous adventure that seems like it will be the best adventure he will most likely experience.

Stay tuned for the battle! It'll be completely awesome!!!
