Alright, before we get started I just want to say that I'm terribly sorry for just throwing the prologue at you and then disappear for five to six weeks. I went on vacation and I totally forgot that I was supposed to be working on this story. So yeah, forgive me, I darn right goof'd up.

Anyways, I just noticed that I had some spelling and grammar errors in the first chapter, like "Sol" is spelled "Soul". Plus, in the first sentence I state that it's early morning and later on it says that Sonic is looking out towards the "sunrise" _.

The following is important:

Now we shall begin with chapter two….

Chapter 1: Trust Me

It was midday in the Sol Kingdom. The sun was shining bright in the sky and the citizens were walking around the city. Looking for goods to buy or sitting on benches. Guards were standing at the gates, looking out on towers, or just on their daily patrol enforcing the law as they go. The kingdom lived at the bottom of the mountains next to the shore. The Sol Kingdom lived in a modern age so the guards were equipped with automatic pistols, wore suitable armor, and bore the symbol of the flame. The flame was an emblem that all guards and royal guards wore. It was like a police badge to show any citizens or criminals that they are with the law. Despite the fact that the kingdom was mostly built out of stones, it could still endure an attack or two from the maniacal scientist Dr. Eggman Nega.

Eggman Nega, a human obsessed with taking over the world and controlling it on his own will. To fight off this menace, the princess made sure that every guard was capable of taking down four or five of his robotic minions. But it's been two years since he ever tried to put one of his plans into action. Due to this, the guards kept scraps of his mechs and created dummies from those scraps to practice on, but most of them are out of practice. There's a high chance that Nega has upgraded his robots though, so the dummy training won't be as effective as it was before. This means that they won't be quite up to shape if an assault occurred. Anyways, it's not like the fool would just try to come and dethrone her majesty. That would be walking blindfolded into a bear trap, but alas this is the day.

When the walls fall

The Sol princess, Blaze the Cat, was sitting on her royal chair in her oversized throne room as usual filling out her daily paperwork. It has been two years since she has last seen Sonic the Hedgehog. Ever since Tails gave her that dimension calling cell phone she has kept it in her cloak pocket ever since. Having the phone with her made the feline feel more comfortable and somewhat relaxed. She didn't know why, but would sometimes assume that a piece of the blue hero was still with her. Telling her that he would be back one day, but then again it was just a phone. Nothing could really make her feel that way.

A piece of technology

In the last two years, nothing has changed and things have become a little dull. Eggman Nega hasn't tried to steal her Sol Emeralds or Jeweled Scepter ever since. This made her sometimes feel worried as for she does not know when the crazed human will attack again.

Ssssscccccreeeeeeccccchhhh

She stopped signing her name for a moment to look up and glance around the room. The princess saw nothing out of the ordinary. Just a couple of royal guards standing completely still with their weapons at their sides. The feline disregarded the sound and continued to sign her name on the document.

THUD

"Watch it!" called a muffled voice from above.

Blaze did hear something after all; she stopped signing her name once more and tilted her head up to find the one who was talking.

"Be quiet or she'll hear you," replied another.

The lavender cat was now scanning the ceiling and saw right above her a silver hedgehog and brown raccoon standing on top of one of the glass windows. Apparently, the two didn't notice that she was looking at them. So, she decided not to say anything and just watch. The hedgehog and raccoon continued to fumble with the window.

"You can't open a royal stained glass window," she thought still watching the two.

The hedgehog put his fingers under the outer lining of the glass and pulled.

She put her hand over her face. "You've got to be kidding me Silver," she mumbled.

Silver grunted and continued to struggle as he was trying to pry open a non opening window. The raccoon next to him began to laugh at his silly attempt. Blaze couldn't make out what she was saying due to the glass being so thick, but she could make out that the raccoon was insulting him.

"Shut up Marine!" Blaze could make that out. The hedgehog took his fingers out from under the outer lining and glared at Marine.

Marine the Raccoon stopped laughing and said something to Silver. The hedgehog than shook his head and walked off the glass window. The raccoon stood there and scratched her head.

"Why don't you try the front door?" the princess thought turning her attention back to the document that was starting to take forever to finish.

Marine was still standing on the glass and was trying to think of how to get in. Silver turned to the raccoon and told her to get off. She stood still ignoring his command. The white silver hedgehog told her again to get off.

Marine threw her hands in the air, "Oh, I know!"

He turned away from her and stared out into the distance. "What's that?" he asked expecting a dumb answer.

THUD

Blaze's ear twitched, "What was that?"

The hedgehog immediately turned back to the raccoon. "Marine, no!" he yelled as he ran over to the ignorant raccoon. "Stop!" he called again.

THUD

The lavender cat sighed, "Marine you're such a—"

CRASH

The glass shattered and the aussie raccoon fell through. As quickly as Silver could, he launched himself into the shattered glass. Then the hedgehog threw out his arm and aimed at falling raccoon. He then focused on his telekinesis to grab a hold of Marine and himself to evade the injuries from the 20 feet high drop.

"Ah, there ya go, Silv!" cheered the glowing raccoon, being held from the air.

"Marine you could have hurt yourself," called the levitating hedgehog.

"Yes, you could have," came a stern feminine voice.

The silver white hedgehog lost his concentration and dropped Marine.

"Oi! Silvaaaa!" Marine yelled as she fell to the ground butt first. "Oof!" Due to the noise, the guards that were once standing completely still, started walking over to the raccoon.

"A-ah, Blaze!" Silver stuttered totally forgetting about her and ignoring Marine. "Uhhh, hey Blaze…" Seeing her not amused glare, he decided to slowly descend down to the ground. "… What's going on?" Silver said trying to remain his cool.

Royal guards began to circle around the two intruders waiting patiently for a command from her ladyship to restrain them. The Sol Princess sighed, gathered up her paperwork from in front of her and placed it down to her side. "What are you two doing here, and why have you broken into my castle?" she said loud and clearly.

The raccoon cub groaned and pushed herself off from the ground and eyed his hedgehog companion, "Silva, why the 'ell did ya drop meh?!"

Silver ignored her and instead focused on Blaze, "Well, we have to do this if we want to see you at all! Do you know how long it takes to just be allowed to enter?"

Blaze recoiled a little, not expecting Silver to be yelling, especially in the state he's in. He just broken royal property and now he's yelling at the princess of the Sol Kingdom? Sure, Silver is one of her best friends, but he shouldn't be behaving like this. Blaze merely shrugged it off and calmly spoke, "Of course I do, but you could have just told them that you are one of my long-time friends."

Hearing this, the royal guards backed off a little, now knowing that these citizens were not bandits nor thieves, but her friends. All of the royal guards from around the two have disbanded and returned back to their posts.

Now it was Silver's turn to panic, "S-sorry, but we-

Marine slapped Silver in the back of his head, "That's whut I told ya in the beginning! Ya drongo!"

The futuristic hedgehog turned to face the raccoon, "Well, I didn't know it would have been that easy!"

"Why dan't 'cha listen to me?!" she yelled.

"Because you're not always right!" he yelled back just as loud.

"I am too!"she shot back.

"No, you're not!" he replied just as fast.

"Too!"

Blaze couldn't take the two bittering anymore. She stood up, conjured up a fireball, and threw it right before their feet. This caught both of their attention and they both looked over nervously to see an angry cat with fire coursing through the palms of her hands. "Marine! Stop being a pain or I'll show you pain! Silver! Act your age!" she bellowed.

The two quickly nodded, hoping not to have their fur fried. "Good," the feline stopped the fire like a flick of the wrist, and sat back down.

"You need to use yer 'ead moar, mate," Marine muttered to Silver.

"Shut it," he muttered back.

Blaze ignored them, "So, why have you two come here anyway?"

This caused Silver and Marine to smile.

"Well," Silver began walking down the hall towards her, "me and Marine thought it would be a cool idea if you could come with us to the beach," he stopped right in front of the steps leading up to the royal chair. "What do you say?"

Blaze began to laugh a little, "The beach? You can't be serious."

"What? You're too good for the beach?" said Silver with some attitude.

Blaze looked to the right of her to see the pile of paperwork she still needs to get done, "I have more important things to do at the moment than to get my fur wet for nothing, Silver."

"It's not a waste of time, you'll be with us," complained Silver.

Blaze merely shrugged, "So? I may have not seen you two in a while, but now is not a good time."

Silver started to think, "Wait, we could go someplace else...uhhh, a fun fair?"

"Actually, goin' to fair sounds a lot betta than the beach," the raccoon ran up to the two, "and I practically live on-a beach anyways, mate."

"You made that up Silver, I do not remember anyone coming to me asking for permission to organize a fun fair," the lilac purple feline said firmly.

"How about the Agennamgge SPA?" Silver blurted out.

Blaze sighes and looks at the hedgehog, "What are you trying to achieve Silver?"

Silver looked down to the ground, "Uhhh...well..."

"Go on."

The hedgehog looked up at the princess, "...Well, since you run a kingdom and all…plus you work an awful lot."

"Yes, that's right, but I am a princess," she raised her hand and pointed to the guards, "and I have responsibilities to protect my people and the Sol Emeralds."

"Right, but I was just thinking," the cat brought her hand back down and stared at the teenaged hedgehog, "that you could join us and have a little fun."

She continued to stare, obviously not buying it.

"Besides, it's the weekend." Silver quickly added. Blaze forms a confused expression. "You take breaks on the weekend." he said bluntly.

She returned the tone, "I don't."

Marine looked over to Blaze, "I think 'e wants moar than that, mate."

Blaze glanced over at Marine for a split second, and then back to Silver. She than calmly spoke, "I don't have time for this right now Silver, sorry."

"Augh! Come on Blaze!" he shouted.

Blaze looked down to her right and saw the stack of paperwork, "Sorry Silver, maybe another time."

"NO! Not another time!"

His outburst startled and caught Blaze and Marine off guard; as well as the other guards.

Despite Blaze giving him a death glare he kept on, "You never have any real fun in your life! When you will learn to trust your friends?! We just want to hang out with you every once in a while! I haven't seen you in so long, because you're almost always tied up to your work!" The hedgehog stopped and took a deep breath to only feel the presence of the royal guards behind him.

Blaze lowered her head and sighed, feeling sorry for her friends. It was true she has been tied up to her work, but she needed to keep this country in check. Besides, when she doesn't know when Eggman Nega will strike, she needs to stay on her guard and look after her people. Carrying the world on her shoulders, this is why she envies that blue hero from what seems to be so long ago.

She looked back to her upset friend, "I think its best you leave now, Silver."

"What?" a hand was placed on Silver's shoulder. He looked over his shoulder to see all of the royal guards glaring at him. Silver starts examining the situation, seeing that he has played himself for a fool and looks to Marine who had only a confused expression.

"So...are we goin' to tha fun fair without Miss Seriousness?" whispered Marine.

Silver ripped the hand from off of his shoulder and turned away from her. "There is no fun fair," he then started to walk out of the room.

Marine became a tad upset and muttered something before following Silver.

The telekinetic hedgehog stopped at the door and turned around to face the purple feline that was still watching him. He brought his hand up to say something, but dismissed the idea and exited the throne room while the raccoon followed.

The Sol Princess sighed once more, picked up her paperwork, and placed it back on her lap. She took out her pen and went back to where she was before she was interrupted.

Thirty minutes later…

"No Gardon, I'm not going to remove patrols around the pubs," the lavender cat stated pushing the bill away from her.

"B-but—"started a lower ranked royal guard only to be cut off.

She turned back to the rest of the paperwork she had in her lap, "I'm not going to let drunks roam free and so they can waddle back to their cars and cause chaos," the feline said firmly.

The kola looked at the document and sighed, "But, your highness—

Blaze snapped her head to the kola the near instant she heard him say highness. "Now I'm definitely not signing it."

"But!"

Blaze placed the paperwork back to below her side and stood up to face the small minded guard. "I told you to just call me Blaze. E, why is that so difficult to understand?"

Just then, the same silver hedgehog from early dashed into the throne room and stopped directly in front of Blaze.

"Blaze!" he took a deep breath, "we have a major problem!"

"Silver, this better not be an attempt for me to come to the beach with you, is it?" she said calmly, despite the hedgehog's loud tone.

"No! I'm serious! It's—

Marine bursts through the throne doors yelling, "That gray fuzzy faced bloke is back again! With a whole frickin bladdy army!" Screams could now be heard from outside the door, which caused all of the guards to break from their positions and rush out the door.

"Eggman Nega!" Blaze ran over to the raccoon, "What did you see?! Tell me!" she demanded slowly becoming angrier and angrier.

Marine stuttered for a moment, because of the mood she was in and heat that was being exerted by her as well.

Silver ran up behind Blaze, "E-eggman Nega... w-we were at the docks, when we saw him coming," he took a deep breath, "he's at the gates with an army of robots," he took another deep breath, "he's asking for—

"Ehh heeh heh heeee! Where are you, your majesty?"

Blaze gasped and ran outside, while Silver and Marine followed as well as Gardon.

Just outside of the front gates was a whole swarm of Eggman Nega's robots. These weren't just a bunch of your typical everyday Egg Pawns; they were now at least four feet taller than before with a larger mass and had very deep titanium steel encrusted armor. Each one of them holding a plasma cannon and two mounted machine guns on their shoulders. Every Egg Pawn was coated in coal black colored armor with a yellow stripe over their shoulders. Anti-Egg air vehicles were in the air; about hundreds of them were in the air at once hovering over the upgraded Egg Pawns. The Anti-Egg's were the size of miniature Egg Carriers, all of them were mounted with turrets underneath them. Lastly was Eggman Nega himself, was hovering next to a huge Egg Robot. The design was like an Egg Pawn, but only a lot bigger and more advanced looking than any other mech in his army. On the robot's right hand was a huge spear that looked strong enough to knock over towers, on his left was a long pointed shield, looking capable to deflect almost anything.

Eggman Nega wasn't inside his war machine just yet, he was waiting patiently in his Egg Mobile awaiting for the ruler of the Sol Kingdom to emerge from her hiding hole.

On the other side, Blaze, Silver, Marine, and the oaf servant have just exited out of the castle and were now overlooking the whole kingdom from the ledge.

The crazed scientist smiled an ice cold smile, and took out a microphone from in front of him and spoke through it. "Ahhh, there you are my darling. How are you on this fine day?"

Blaze was not amused, hell, she was about to go berserker on him, just seeing the guy would just piss her off to great proportions. "Eggman Nega! I will burn you to the ground if you dare set foot in my kingdom!" her voiced boomed across the whole area. (Yes, she can yell from over 1,000 yards away or so)

Eggman Nega laughs, "I take it that you are doing well. Your majesty, if you just come along with me than I won't have to annihilate your little kingdom."

This caused Gardon to whimper, "Please don't do that! I'll be out of a job and then I can't pay my rent which means that I'll become a homeless person and I don't want to have to move back in with my m—

Marine couldn't take hearing him complaining about himself while Blaze's home was about to be invaded. So, she did what any civilized person would do. She walked right in front of him, took a deep breath and yelled, "SHUT YER FACE! YER GIT!"

Blaze ignored the two, being too concentrated on Nega, "GAAAH! I'll rather be rotting in a rat infested pit than to negotiate with you!" she spat.

Eggman Nega laughs again, "Oh, but my darling, you will indeed regret this." He put down the microphone and stood up and slammed his finger down onto a red button next to him.

A small explosion was heard from beyond the gate, and then a huge explosion was heard from inside of the kingdom. The force of the explosion threw people nearby into the air, houses started to explode, and fires began to erupt. The pavement on the ground just blew open and crumbles flew into the air and then fall to the ground smashing nearby cars, homes that were lucky enough not to be damaged before, and a couple of citizens who were caught in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Blaze winced, staring at the explosion, flames, smoke coming from homes, and the screaming of innocent citizens. Blood piercing screams could be heard from all across the kingdom. Cries of pain, cries of confusion, cries for help, and cries of death.

Eggman Nega picked up the microphone again, "Had enough?"

She continued to stare at the smoke now coming from the explosion, ignoring Eggman. She has never seen this much power come from one of his creations before.

Nega humph'd, "I'll be very happy to fire again on your pathetic little home. By all means, resist, I dare you! Perhaps I can wipe this whole kingdom off the charts in one blow!"

Blaze continued to stare; thoughts were speeding all around her in her mind.

If we had him, we might have a chance. If we had him, we might prevail. If we had him, we could end him right here, right now!

If he was here

The old madman laughed again, "Not wise," he stood up and looked at the red button, "fire away!"

"WAIT!" Blaze called out as he was mere seconds from pushing the button.

He stopped.

"I-I'll come...as long as you don't kill anyone else. Or if you do, I swear it, I'll make sure that I'll see your body mangled and impaled on a spear!"

He sat back down taking a hold of the microphone, "Hmph, you're in no position to make threats, bitch. Never the less, come quickly, I grow impatient."

Silver snapped back into reality as soon as he caught on to what Blaze was about to do next. He grabbed her and pulled him over before she had a chance to run over there. "Are you mad? You can't talk sense into that guy! He'll just kill you right on the spot!"

"If he was here..." Blaze took his hand off of her, "Gardon!"

He too was taking all of this in slowly and panicked a bit when his name was called, "Y-yes your highne—I mean, Blaze."

"Evacuate the kingdom and have them all sent to Furnda," she commanded him.

"Right away, "he bowed and walked off.

"Blaze," whimpered Silver.

Blaze looked over to Silver for a moment than to aussie raccoon, "Marine, go into the castle and open the vault that contains the Jeweled Scepter. The pin code is G3154-A5651-P7569-M7459 take it and go with Silver to Furnda."

"B-but—

"GO! We don't have much time!" she yelled.

The raccoon ran back inside of the castle to retrieve the Jeweled Scepter from its vault.

"…Blaze…"

Blaze finally looked to Silver, "Silver, I'm entrusting you to the Sol Emeralds. Go to the Furnda with Marine and the Emeralds. I'll meet you there." She than began to walk towards the front gates.

"No, don't go! I don't want you to get hurt! Please! Let me help you!" the silver white hedgehog cried out.

The feline turned back to face her friend, "I'll be fine Silver. You can help me by protecting the Sol Emeralds and taking them to Furnda," she turned back and continued walking.

"Blaze, please don't!" he called out again.

Blaze looks over her shoulder back to Silver, "I'll be back."

She then walked off.

Silver, surprised beyond limits, stared back at her as she walked off to face an army of unsurvivable odds. He gathered up all of his focus, looked back at the castle, and dashed inside of it to collect the Sol Emeralds.

Blaze unbuttoned one of her pockets and pulls out a cell phone for the first time in two years.

"I guess this is the time."

Major cliffhanger ftw.

Sorry if it seems like I rushed the end of the chapter, it's just that…its 3:00 AM I mean come on! I'll be trying to update this story every week or every two weeks, but this back to school stuff is coming at me fast and I still have things to do besides FanFiction.

Please review, I would like to receive feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated!
