New chapter, insert wording here:
Alright guys! So far I have had only ONE complaint, about the rewrite. All the other readers seemed to have thought "What the hell is he doing?" and just dropped the story entirely. Oh well, I am sticking to this thing like glue to the VERY end GOD DAMNIT!
Time to write, err, type...
...
This chapter is still in beta stages and is subject to possible change in the future.
Tails slowly taxied the Hurricane out of his hanger, and onto the driveway that also worked as a taxiway to the airstrip. Blaze, and Amy who was still hanging around to see Tails' new plane, followed the plane at a reasonable distance. All the way to the runway. "Alright Sonic, ready? Not gonna throw up?" Tails asked gently, as they both bounced along the short grass taxiway that led to the runway. Sonic nodded in response and they made their trip to the runway the rest of the way in silence.
Amy however, had her big fat mouth open and was yammering away with her 'girl talk.'
"So Blaze, what conditioner do you use in your fur? It's so soft!" Amy said, making an observation.
"When I arrived here, Tails lent me use of his shower and these clothes, I used whatever he had in his shower. So he would be the one to ask about this." Blaze said normally. She felt the fur on the back of her hands, since she did not have gloves on right now. She noted that it was, REALLY soft.
"Really? I gotta find out what conditioner that is!" Amy said excitedly. Blaze looked up from her ungloved hands to talk.
"Why? You don't even have fur, your a hedgehog. Not a cat or fox or dog or some other Mobian with fur." Blaze said, shattering Amy's fantasy for perfect, soft, fur.
"UGH! Why do you have to be so dull?" Amy said loudly, in a whiny voice.
Blaze just shrugged her shoulders and watched Tails and his plane bounce along, they were now lining up with the runway. Amy grunted and grabbed Blaze's hand, she pulled her over to a shack of some sort off the left side of the runway, it had a full view of the rolling tall grass plains beyond the runway. And of the sky, with no obstruction of view. They both sat down at a bench in it and watched Tails' airplane begin to speed up down the runway.
"Alright Blaze, at least tell me if you like Tails or not." Amy said, getting closer and giving her a sly smile.
"Uhhh..." Blaze did not really know what to say, something about Tails was special, it made her want to open up and tell him all about her. Yet also got to her shy side and made her shut up. Tails really attracted Blaze in some way, she could not really explain it. So she tried dodging the subject. "I dunno..." Blaze mumbled out. 'You idiot! HOW OBVIOUS CAN YOU GET?' She shouted at herself in her head.
"Uh huh, well Tails is a really nice guy, cute too." Amy said. "Nothing wrong with liking him, he has an ignorantly cute charm about him, although...Sonic..." She said the last part dreamily with glassy eyes. "Is perfect... Tails is nice, but Sonic, is perfect..." She continued dreamily.
"Can we just watch the plane please?" Blaze said out loud. At this point Tails had done a procedure take-off and was now roaring in from the left end of the runway, from Blaze and Amy's perspective. Just as he reached show center, The plane snap rolled 1 and a half times to the left, stopping inverted. Blaze jumped in her seat, fearing for Tails' health when this happened, Amy did the same, but for both Sonic and Tails. When the plane continued a straight and level path upside-down, both of them sighed with relief. Then Tails snap rolled 3/4 or a roll to the right, the plane stopped on its side and he pulled it around in an inverted banking turn. Going away from Amy and Blaze.
Tails followed up by doing a fast roll, straight in a line, down the background of the runway. He stopped the roll with the plane upright in level flight, at the end of the left end of the runway. The plane pitched up and started into a perfect upline. Tails used just a precise amount of power so the plane would start to slow down, and eventually, stop. When it stopped, he snapped the rudder over and goosed the throttle, the plane's tail whipped up and over. Then Tails brought the plane into a spin, and stopped, still in his downline, with the belly of the plane facing our spectators. He pulled out into some inverted flight, then did a one and a half snap to level flight.
...
"How ya holding up Sonic?" Tails asked, keeping the plane in level flight and looking back at the blue blur, who was now more green than blue.
"Ugh, can we land Tails?" Sonic moaned, his face drooping.
Tails sweatdropped in response. "Alright Sonic, we can land." Tails lazily brought the plane about and lined up on the left side of the runway. He came in slightly sideways, using the rudder to compensate, and landed smoothly on one wheel. "Well we're on the ground, oh wait! I forgot!" Tails brought the plane up to the little shack and popped the canopy open.
"What's up Tails?" Sonic asked, beginning to recover. Tails ignored him and jogged up to Blaze.
"We need to find your Sol emeralds I think." He said. Blaze's face lit up, she sprang from her seat.
"You're right!" She shouted. "Do you know where they are?"
"They hit the ground in my front yard, probably pretty deep in the ground. A few feet at least." Tails said. "Finding the entry holes will be a pain the rear though..."
"Not for me!" Sonic chimed in. "Also, how do these Sol emeralds react to Chaos emeralds? Maybe we can use our Chaos emeralds to find them, good idea, right Tails?"
"Actually yes, in fact, the best idea you have had in a while!" Tails jokes, Sonic snickered a little.
"Sure. Alright, well, what do they look like Blaze?" Sonic asked. He took out his three Chaos emeralds to show off. "Anything like this?"
Blaze reacted instantly, they were giving off an energy identical to that of the Sol emeralds. Although if she were to give the energy from the Chaos emeralds a color, it was blue. The Sol emeralds were red. "Yes, these give off a near identical energy to the Sol emeralds." Blaze stuck her hand out. "May I hold it?"
Sonic eyed Tails, who nodded in response. "Alright." Sonic neutrally handed over his blue emerald. When Blaze grabbed it, she could feel the energy from the emerald. She tried to make it glow as she could with the Sol emeralds, and it did. Sonic, Amy, and Tails fell over backwards in response.
"What?" Blaze asked gently, with a clueless attitude about her voice.
"Nobody has ever been able to use the Chaos emerald's power but Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Shadow too, but we don't know where he is." Amy said.
"It is very curious that you possess the power to manipulate that emerald Blaze." Tails said.
"Well alright, but it has the same energy about it as my Sol emeralds. But not quite as powerful, almost like I can't fully sync with these 'Chaos Emeralds.'" Blaze observed.
"That makes sense. The one here with the strongest power over the emeralds is Sonic here. He can use Chaos Control. Which is not an easy feat whatsoever. I have tried to get home that way a few times, one time I ended up inside my wall, which really was not fun at all. The other time I ended up in my freezer, and so on." Tails said. Sonic snickered, the time Tails got stuck in his wall was the funniest. He came to Tails' house and heard a muffled 'Get me outta here!' Coming from the wall.
"That was so funny when you got stuck in the wall!" Sonic started laughing. Tails obviously felt different.
"I was stuck in there for a few hours Sonic! And that fiberglass insulation is not really a comfortable thing to be jammed against!" Tails said sternly, although Sonic kept laughing. Neither Blaze nor Amy found it funny at all.
"It's not funny Sonic." Amy said, Sonic immediately buttoned his lip.
"I agree, its not polite to laugh at others misfortunes." Blaze added, making Sonic feel a little lower.
"I'm sorry..."
"It's alright, just don't do it again." Tails said.
"Can we get to looking for my emeralds now? I really need to find them." Blaze said.
All three nodded. "Alright!"
Sonic gave a smirk, "I will find them in no time!" He turned and ran. Which looked more like there and gone to everyone's view, Tails and Amy just stood there and sighed. Blaze was amazed at how fast this critter was.
"He is fast..."
"Why do you think his name is Sonic? He runs faster than sound." Tails said.
"Wow. Well, lets find my emeralds." Blaze said. Not really particularly amused.
"Alright. Hey Amy, are you going to help out? You should look around too on your own. We will be more productive if we split up." Tails said.
"Alright! Catch ya later Tails!" Amy winked and ran off.
"She is strange."
Tails looked back at Blaze, who looked him in the eye. "No, she is Amy."
They each broke out in a wide grin. "Shutup and help me." Blaze said, still smiling.
"Alright, I just gotta grab my emerald from the Hurricane, I keep my three on my person at all times to protect them." Tails said, turning around and talking while walking toward his plane.
"OK." Blaze returned. Tails hovered up over his plane and plopped down in his seat.
"Hey Blaze, get over here, I have to put this thing back in my hanger!"
"I am NOT getting in that death-machine." Blaze said sternly, she turned and began to walk up to the hanger. Tails had other plans and silently hovered up behind her.
Tails picked Blaze up by the underarms and lifted her into the air. "ARGH! Put me down Tails! I am scared of heights! AHHHH!" Blaze said loudly, clinging to Tails for dear life.
"Blaze! We are only five feet off the ground! Calm down." Tails said, Blaze looked down and sighed.
"Just put me down. NOW!"
"Alright." Tails zoomed up to a hundred feet. "Ya want down?"
"Don't put me down Tails!" Blaze yelled, gripping Tails even tighter, it took everything in her will to not sink her claws into his back right now. He descended smoothly till he was just above the Hurricane's back seat. Then he gently set Blaze down. "If you do that again you will be fried to an itty bitty foxy crisp." She said sternly.
"Ha! Don't be so scared of heights Blaze, by the end of the week you won't mind them at all!" Tails said, slowly advancing the throttle on the Hurricane. He bumped along toward the hanger.
"In a week I will be long gone, after I get my emeralds, I am leaving. I cannot stay here."
"Why can't you stay here? Also, where would you go?" Tails asked, full of worry. "Don't worry Blaze, I make plenty of money to support a family, and it would be just you. So it won't be a big deal at all. Plus I really like you. Oh umm, as a friend I mean!" Tails said the last part rather quickly. Blaze thanked the god she did not really believe in, that Tails was still facing forward. The last thing she wanted was for him to see her BLUSH to a comment like that!
"Oh, umm, alright. I guess, uhh." Blaze hadn't a clue what to really say. She was confused at this time, it was like Tails had some sort of special thing about him that was unexplainable. He was just...she didn't know. His friendliness, cuteness, and overall fun likeablity about him was just a bonus. There was also something else. Blaze would have honestly considered Tails to not be her type. She rather preferred the dark mysterious type. Whereas Tails was the exact opposite, he oozed friendliness, it was nearly sickening. She couldn't take it. "Alright Tails, I will stay here with my favorite fox. How does that sound?" Blaze had put on here "cute" voice at this point.
Tails bounced along the ground in his plane with Blaze, blushing like an idiot. "Please don't talk in that voice again." He said, trying not to stutter.
"And why not?" Blaze asked, oozing with that voice some more.
"I-I might pass out." Tails said, holding his head with one hand. "I am serious Blaze, don't talk like that anymore. I can't take it." By this time, Tails had reached the hanger, when he got inside, he gave some down elevator, full left rudder, and bumped the throttle, HARD. The plane's tail whipped around till the plane was facing out the hanger.
"Alright, sorry Tails. Now cmon, lets go find those Sol emeralds!" Blaze said excitedly. "And I can get out of this deathtrap."
"Planes are safe, they never just fall out of the sky, motor quits and you can glide it in for a landing. Wings don't just come off either." Tails said, hopping out onto the wing.
"Ya." Blaze followed suit.
"Alright, lets go look."
"Ok."
...
"Hey Tails! I think I found one!" Blaze said, peering into a hole. "I can feel its energy..."
Tails whipped his namesakes about and glided across the ground to meet Blaze, he looked down in the hole as well. "I can feel its energy, it is very similar to a chaos emerald." Tails noted. "Here, let me try one of our Chaos emerald tricks on it." He held out a hand toward the emerald in the hole. a bright vertical light shown out and the emerald slowly rose up from the hole. It began to become visible as it rose up out of the hole and hovered into Tails' hand.
"Woah, your gonna have to show me how to do that..." Blaze said slowly, full of wonder.
As the Sol emerald began to settle in Tails' hand, he felt a brilliant heat. The energy from this emerald seemed to sync with him alot better than from a Chaos emerald. At this point Tails had but one thought. "Hey Blaze, would you ever think it is possible for me to be from your world. I mean, if these things sent you here, maybe they have done it before. I sync up alot better with your Sol emeralds than I ever had with the Chaos emeralds."
"I have never thought that before, although it does almost make sense." Blaze said. Then out of nowhere the two were ingulfed in a bright light escaping form the Sol emerald, pretty soon, they were unconscious...
...
"Hey Blaze!" A female voice called out, the accent was distinctly Australian. Blaze slowly sat up. "Why'r'ya snoozin' on the beach at 3 in the afternoon, and still wearin' yer PJs?"
"Wha- where am I?" She said. She then looked around. This place was familiar, that voice was familiar. She was on a beach, from where she sat she could see either end of a small island. And in the distance on a dock was a boat. Marine's boat... "MARINE!" Blaze launched at her and tackled her in a crushing hug.
"Wha, oi! Get offa me! Oi just wanna know who yer cobber is over there." Marine said, pushing Blaze off. "Yeesh Blaze. You'd think we hadn't seen the other in yonks, its only been 'bout 3 days!"
"What?" Blaze looked over, and there was Tails. Her heart warmed that not only did she get her world back, she still had Tails too. She went over to him and gently rolled him onto his back. "Hey Tails, get up." She said gently, full of care. Marine's face nearly fell off, hearing Blaze talk like that to anybody.
Tails slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. Upon doing so the Sol emerald he had held earlier fell out of his hands. "Oh, hi Blaze. That worked..."
"What did?"
"Chaos control. Your emeralds can do it too." Tails said. "Although this is NOT my living room..." He observed, looking around.
"We are back on my planet, somehow..."
"Can somebody please tell me what is going on?" Marine said out loud. At this point she was extremely confused.
"Marine, tell me, what's the date?" Blaze asked seriously.
"Uhh, May 13, whoi?" Marine said.
"A week before it happens... Tails, this world will end in a week, I think the emerald took us here for us to try to save the world."
"No, impossible, it is written in the stones of time that this world is doomed. However, we CAN try to save a few select people, I would assume your friend Marine is one of them." Tails said. "Of course that was just an analogy, there is no stones of time."
"How do you know that?"
"Once upon a time I had a time machine, cant change the past, trust me, if you try to change a bad thing that has happened to you. It usually ends up being that you caused that thing to happen in the first place. It dont work at cheating in poker, I dont think it will work for saving the world neither."
"Are you sure?" Blaze asked.
"Umm, pretty darn sure!"
...
BAM! Cliffhanger! WOOT WOOT! Review! Sorry I hadn't updated in yonks. But I have been busy with my other hobby, which is definitely more fun than doing this! :D
