Chapter 20: Blitz's Decision

Three hours passed after the battle and Blitz is standing near the ocean on a sunset with his hair blowing in the breeze, just thinking. It seems as though he is thinking about living in Mystic Ruins with his new friends or he would stay in Hazel Island for a while. It's like he wants to see more of his new friends and sort of get to know them better and it seems as though being a regular teenager has been something he's been doing the entire time.

He looks up at the sky and looks back on all the adventures that he has ever had and made some friends along the way. All in all, Blitz has been friends with Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Cheese and Tails and it seems as though he likes them and they like him as well. Mostly, he's been very close to Tails, almost as if he's another brother to Tails and is great friends with Sonic.

He let out a small smile and chuckled softly and thought to himself, 'Wow, I have made some awesome friends and had an awesome adventure. I only wish I would see more of them.'

"Hey, Blitz!"

Blitz opened his eyes, turns around and sees Knuckles standing there. He chuckled and then asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just enjoying the view."

Knuckles walked over to him and told him, "That was very impressive, kid. Your fighting skills and supernatural powers were amazing beyond comparison."

"Well, two out of three ain't that bad." Blitz said.

"Anyways, are you coming back to Mystic Falls with us?"

"I was thinking about that and it would be cool to sort of go back for a while, but then again, I kinda know that this is my home. I'm not sure if they still need me, though."

"Well, I can't tell ya what to do though. All I can say is keep those supernatural powers in handy. It was a brilliant move to take down that stupid wolf. He didn't see it coming when you brought out these powers. It's like nothing I've ever seen before!"

"I've actually had these powers when I was eight or nine and since then, it became my own strengths in order to take down evil or perilous things."

"You've got a big history."

"Yeah, I know."

"So, do you have a family or something?"

Blitz sighed heavily and told him, "Just guardians."

"What? Well, where's your parents?"

"I'd rather not answer that."

Knuckles didn't know what the outcome of Blitz's parents and noticed that they might've mistreated him. All he could say was, "That bad, right?"

"Worse."

"How worse?"

"I don't know how to tell you this, but my mother has been feeling a ginormous amount of resentment towards me."

"Really? How long was she like that?"

"After I was born."

"What?! Are you kidding?"

"Nope."

"What about your dad?"

"He's been in and out of prison and such, never seemed to be intrested in my life."

"What could he possibly do to get in prison?"

"Murder, double murder, burgularies, assault, second-degree assault, drug possession, giving drugs to a minor--which most of them died at an early age--causing riots. Basically, every ounce of crime that he's been convicted of, you name it, he does it."

Knuckles gasped and said, "The nerve of that guy!"

"And it doesn't stop there."

"There's more."

"He got life in prison for a killing spree in Angel Island, harming several echindas or whatever they call them, the ones with the dreadlocks and--"

He paused for a sec and looked at Knuckles and realized that he is an echidna. Blitz blinked his eyes and cleared his throat and said, "I guess you didn't want to hear that part, huh?'

"Keep going."

"Anyways, 43 echidnas died and 179 injured and most of them were swimming out of the island. It's just a sad mess."

"I know! If I saw the guy that did it, I would--"

Then, Knuckles paused and saw Blitz looking at him, thinking that he was saying about doing some serious damage to his father, but he realized that maybe he shouldn't have said what he almost said to him and told him, "Sorry, kid. I was just in the moment and--"

"It's cool. I would've done the same thing to him too."

"Either way, you're a cool guy to hang around with."

"Thanks. So are you."

"I've been told that before. I'm as cool, fearless and good-looking as ever."

"Ha! You have no good looks, Knucky! Since when do echidnas have good looks?"

Then, Knuckles turned around and saw Rouge standing in the edge of the rock, which made Knuckles annoyed and furious. He asked, "When do you not barge in my personality?"

"You have no personality. If you were good-looking, I would've thrown up at the last minute and then fly away to cure my sickness." Rouge said.

"Oh, you think you're so funny, aren't you?"

"And more beautiful."

"Hey, the forties called. They want their batty looks back."

"Well, at least I don't have ugly dreadlocks!"

"Don't call my dreadlocks ugly!"

"They'd have to be ugly if they were longer."

Blitz chuckled and said, "I'll be going. See you guys, later, okay?"

"See you 'round, kid." Knuckles said.

Blitz walked away, leaving Knuckles and Rouge in bicker-mode. He looked back and saw them going at each other, which made him smile and say, "They really can't stand each other."

Meanwhile, as he was walking, he saw Oscar standing there and thought he should say 'hi.' But, as he came through though, Oscar walked to him and said, "Can we talk?"

"Sure, what about?"

Oscar sighed and said, "Well, I've been doing a lot of thinking and I've seen your new friends and they're really wonderful people, especially Sonic."

"Well, Sonic is pretty cool."

"Which is why I asked him to sort of look out for you in Mystic Ruins and maybe live there."

Blitz's brown eyes widened and realized that this was completely serious. He asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive."

"Wow. This is unbelievable. But-- what's gonna happen to you and Sharon?"

"We'll be fine. You can sort of drop by for a visit, though."

"Wow. That will be so cool."

"What do you say?"

"I say...yes."

"Perfect."

"Hey, what about us?"

All of a sudden, Mark, Noah and Danny were dog-piling him and Mark asked, "You're not leaving without us, aren't you?"

"You guys are coming too?" asked Blitz.

"Yep. Sonic asked us to join in with you." Noah said.

"Wow. This is amazing. That would be so cool if you guys went with me."

"Cool!"

All of a sudden, Sonic came in speeding across the island and then, stopped when he saw Blitz, Noah, Danny and Noah together. Sonic smiled and asked, "I see that they told you?"

"Yep. Thanks, Sonic."

Sonic gave him a thumbs-up and a wink and said, "Don't mention it."

Was that cool or what? Stay tuned for more!
