Blitz's Journey Chapter 22: A New Life, a sonic the hedgehog fanfic

Chapter 22: A New Life

Shortly thereafter, Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, Cream, Cheese, Tails, Blitz, Mark, Danny and Noah all teleported back to Mystic Ruins. As they got back there, they felt a similar connection between them and Blitz, like he's really part of a family bond than a friendship. Blitz looked at all of them as they looked at him like they're really amazed to have him as a friend.

Blitz chuckled and then, Sonic looked at him and said, "Welcome back home, Blitz."

Then, he looked at the others and Sonic smiled at him and then, Blitz looked at him and asked, "Really?"

"Of course. You saved everyone back in Hazel Island and it seems as though you're gonna be in good hands with us."

Blitz chuckled and said, "Wow. I've never realized how important you guys are to me, but now I can see it. This is definitely the highlight of my teenage years."

"Well, this is the only highlight you'll ever have, so you might as well just enjoy it." Knuckles said.

"Of course."

"Figures." Noah said.

Couple of minutes later, Knuckles was up in the steps and he looked at the Master Emerald and he thought it could use a little sprucing up. So, he picked up a rag and starts polishing it. About 10 minutes later, Knuckles looked ta it and sees how cool it looks. Knuckles chuckled and said, "Master Emerald is looking just fine."

"Tell me about it."

Then, Knuckles quickly turned around and saw Blitz standing there. He asked, "What you doing?"

"Just through finished cleaning my Master Emerald."

"Okay, cool."

"What brings you here?"

Blitz sighed and said, "I got bored. I kinda don't like it when I get bored often and there's always nothing to do. So, I figured why not hang out with someone else for a while."

"You know, you're really something, kid."

"What can I say?"

Then, Knuckles sat down on the steps with his arms on his head, looking for some relaxation. Blitz couldn't believe what he just saw and asked, "So this is what you do after a tough day or something or is it just sort of a guilty pleasure?"

Knuckles chuckled and said, "A little of both. I mean, after that battle in Hazel Island, a guy needs some rest."

"I heard that. Well, I'll let you get your sleep. Now, all I need is to find a spot where there's a house."

"A house? Why not just build one of your own?"

"To be kinda honest, I don't know how to build, unfortunately."

"Trust me when I say, there's a lot of land there that you can easily build a house in."

"Dude, do you know how long it takes to even build a house? Could take hours, days, weeks, months, maybe even a year."

"I'm pretty sure it won't take that long."

Blitz became pretty skeptical about it, but then he said, "I hope you're right."

Then, he walked down the stairs and Knuckles said, "Hey, kid!"

He paused and then turned around, asking, "What?"

"Around here, I'm always right....most of the time. Also, it's gonna be amazing having you around."

Blitz chuckled and said, "I was thinking the same thing, except for the first part."

"Don't worry. You'll get it."

Minutes later, Blitz was walking across the parts of Mystic Ruins until he saw Noah, Danny and Mark doing a backflip cartwheel stunt in the other side of the ground. He stopped and saw them jumping up, looking silly and such.

"Oh come on! You can do better than that!" Noah exclaimed.

"Like you can do better?" Danny asked.

"Way better than yours."

"Oh, please! You couldn't jump near a flaming ring of fire and you'd still kill yourself."

"I've seen your tricks before and they always suck."

"Yours sucks also."

"It does not suck!"

"I'm not talking about the flips. It's how you master them that sucked."

"You think you can take me on?"

"I'm a lot better than you are."

Mark chuckled and shook his head with amusement and said, "Truthfully, I think you guys' flips suck the most."

Noah and Danny looked at Mark and asked in unison, "Who asked you?"

"I'm just saying. You don't have to take it personally."

"Well, I don't see you master the arts of backflips!"

"Neither do I!"

Sooner or later, Blitz ran across the ground, then did a speedy quadruple backflip action with stunned Mark, Danny and Noah as they saw him leap in the air without noticing. Then, Blitz turned around and saw them looking completely surprised.

"So, what you guys think?" asked Blitz.

"I like his flips better!" Mark exclaimed.

"Are you serious?! Me and Danny tried harder to master that and to beat him on his own game, and he always ends up winning the most." Noah said.

"Oh, come on. You guys are still ticked that I won the award for most fastest backflip in Hazel Island 5 years ago."

"That's because I was a finalist."

"Besides, we could've won it with our eyes shut." Danny said.

"Actually, if you did, you'd kill yourself." Mark said.

"Not helping."

"So, how do you guys like Mystic Ruins?" asked Amy.

"Are you kidding? We love it there! It's definitely awesome." Danny answered.

"Think you guys can help me win Sonic's heart?"

"Amy, we're new here and we're not matchmakers. I mean, it's not like he can just waltz in here and kisses you in the cheek." Noah said.

Amy gasped and asked, "You think that could happen?"

"Not from what I see it."

"You got a problem with that?!"

"Barely."

"If I were you, I wouldn't get on Amy's nerves too much." Blitz said.

"Yeah, he's got a point."

Later on one of the trees, the sun was about to set and Blitz looked up at the sky and felt like for the first time ever, he's really home with his new friends. It's like he felt as if the whole entire week was the most awesomest.

He looked up at the sky and sees the purple-orangeish color combine and it definitely feels like a beautiful sight to witness. He thought about his parents and he's able to let go of all the hurt and resentment he's been feeling towards at an early age since they had their troubles.

He whispered, "Mom, Dad. Wherever you guys, you're always there with me and I'm sorry that I was a burden to you, even though I wasn't. And I forgive you for not being a part of my life and I hope that we can meet again someday."

With all the happiness and joyfulness he felt with making friends, being a normal teenager and also, accomplishing to take down a wolf, he feels as though with his new friends, they're in it together and he hopes that Blitz can have many more adventures with his friends more often.

He closed his eyes and said, softly, "I wrote this song to my new friends."

Suddenly, he pulled out his guitar and starts playing it and then, starts singing the song that he wrote to the others to release his feelings between Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Cream, Cheese and Tails.

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

After singing the song, he felt a sense of good feelings inside of himself and his heart as well. All of a sudden, he heard applause and cheering from behind. Then, he turned around and it was his friends cheering for Blitz. He chuckled nervously and asked, "How long were you standing there?"

"Long enough." Amy said.

"How much of that did you actually happen to hear?"

"All of it. Why did you hide this from us?" asked Knuckles.

"Well, I got embarassed I guess. See, as I said, singing is pretty much all of my talents to sort of release my feelings. Well, that and songwriting. I sung that song for you guys and well, you had to hear it."

"It was great the second time." Tails said.

"The second time? You hard him sing before?" asked Sonic.

"Yep. I have a feeling that this will be the best friendship we could ever have."

Blitz smiled at Tails while the others smiled at him and with that, he said, "I agree with that."

For the first time in his life, Blitz definitely feels like his journey has been completed and it will be a moment that he will mostly likely remember for the rest of his life and that his new friends will be amazing to hang out with and it seems as though that there will be more adventures and moments yet to come.
