How to Send a Threat
"Damn it Silver," Blaze hissed under her breath as she ran across the streets in her ruby colored shoes, "What've you gotten yourself into now?" Even though Silver was very naive and stupid at times Blaze still loved him as he was the only real friend she had ever had, accepting her when others made fun of her and her powers. "If Robotnik so much as lays one of his nasty bots on his skin he can consider himself a dead man."
BOOM!!! The cat flipped through the air with her hair on end as an explosion occurred in the building right beside her sending her flying through a car. "Oops," Dr. Robotnik snickered to himself as he saw Blaze skid to a halt below, "Looks like my little sensor bomb missed, I won't though!" Instantly picking up on the hint that the mad scientist would somehow attack, Blaze leapt into the air and landed kneeling down in front of Robotnik's face on the front of his hovercraft. "What the?! Get off my control panel you little freak!" "Oh this?" she asked slyly ripping the controls and equipment clean out of the vehicle and dropping it to the ground below, "Alright, I'm off!"
Screaming, Robotnik attempted to regain control of the falling craft as Blaze flipped off it and lowered herself down the side of a building, "Had enough?" Frantically Robotnik fiddled with the few controls that remained amidst the smoking wreck of an eggmobile activating various luxury items and deadly weapons that proceeded to be used on him and everything within a five foot radius of the craft. Boredly the cat watched her prey struggle and writhe in agony and desperation doing anything he could to attack taking note of the scene only when she saw one of Robotnik's lasers use a Sol Emerald to blast a car to shards.
"AH!!!" Robotnik finally screamed, "That's it! You are dead you freaky little feline! Get a load of this!" Her eyes raising, Blaze spotted a button on the palm of Robotnik's hand which flickered red upon the pressure of the scientist's finger being applied to it. "I didn't think I'd have to use this this soon," he snickered evilly with a shine in his glasses as a large dark shadow hovered into view above his figure, "But you leave me no choice kiddo. Witness my new and improved creation, the Eggsterminator Mach 3!" "Don't you mean just improved?" Blaze hissed not showing how afraid she actually was. The last time she and Silver had fought the revived Dr. Eggman Robotnik mech they had nearly been all but annihilated before they were able to find a way to actually damage the monstrous creation.
The earth beneath Blaze's feet shook as the mech landed in front of her with a loud THOOM!!! and stared down at her. There stood, weighing over 100 tons of metal, the ancient revived egg-shaped bodied humanoid mech which arms that, below the elbows, levitated below the shoulders, truly a masterpiece of mechanics no matter what time period it was created in. It's colors repainted from Robotnik's ancestor's original design, it now looked even more menacing than ever with it's body covered in much denser armor and many more weapons. "Now then!" Robotnik exclaimed making his way into the head of the mech which was also the cockpit, "How's about you get a load of this Blaze the Cat! Prepare to die!"
Coughing up some blood Silver looked around for the mechanical copy of his friend which they had previously encountered at Robotnik's last main base of operations. "You're better than before, aren't you Maze?" THWAK! Silver was flung head over heels from behind by a single punch of the metal feline as its eyes glowed red in the darkness of the night air. "Ugh...last time I had Blaze to help me out, this isn't fair at all." In a split second Maze was in front of the hedgehog again and slammed its foot into his chest flinging him over a generator on the rooftop of the building.
Hastily Silver shook his head around in a mixture of confusion and agony. WHAM! Again the young humanoid animal was hurtled through the air and this time through a window of another building. Barely conscious with blood dripping down his head he could here the abominable mimic's feet tapping across the floor as it walked towards him. Finally, Silver forced his eyes to crack open a bit and saw Maze standing in front of him with a fireball beginning to be generated in its hand. "Hope I don't kill myself," Silver whispered to himself as he began to build up energy in his body and the ball of fire began to glow green causing Maze to stare at it in confusion.
Silver forced himself to backflip as best he could over the computer terminal he had been resting against as he forced the air molecules of the room into the fireball causing it to expand within the metal creature's hand eventually engulfing the entire figure of his friend in flames. "Sorry Maze," Silver sighed clutching his head and looking at the burnt robot, "But I couldn't just stand there and let ya kill me...is there an earthquake or something? The ground's beginning to shake quite a bit...ACK!" Not paying attention to the robot, Silver failed to notice the silent Blaze-like monster get back to its feet and wrap its metal clawed fingers around his neck, "Oh come on!" Painfully, Silver raised his hand to the robot's face and tossed the robot with his powers as best he could resulting in it merely stumbling back a bit but letting him go in the process. Immediately the hedgehog launched himself through another window and levitated onto the roof of a lower building with glass sprinkling down around him.
"I really hope Blaze can get here soon, I'm almost out of energy," Silver coughed as Maze leapt down in back of him ready to strike with a fireball. Just as the fire got within a foot of him, Silver spun around and used his powers to fling the ball back to the robot like a slingshot hitting it directly in the breastplate. Taking the opportunity, Silver then ran as fast as he could over to the humanoid cat robot and slammed his foot into its faceplate as hard as possible sending it flying into the side of the building they had battled through. Panting by this point, Silver moaned as he saw Maze's eyes flicker back to life and the figure leap back onto the rooftop before walking slowly towards him.
KRSHREW!!!!!!! An entire building was incinerated upon impact with the lasers Robotnik shot forth from the eyes of the eggman-like mech. "Damn it," he hissed peering down at the cat, "Why can't I hit you you annoying animaloid?" Wide eyed, Blaze tried her best to avoid the attacks of the juggernaut before her, stumbling around and nearly out of breath. "I can't keep this up much longer..." The earth shook beneath the cat as the gargantuan mech brought its feet down over and over again walking towards her and firing various missiles and lasers in her direction. Screaming, Blaze was struck by a missile finally and blasted through a brick wall of a warehouse.
Hissing, she clutched her side and stumbled behind a metal crate to take refuge from Robonik. "Ugh!" she moaned angrily, "Why did Silver and me split up?! This is about the most idiotic thing we could have done. Well, we didn't know Robotnik was back this prepared but still...I hope Silver's alright...what's that noise?" It was quiet at first but then it grew louder and more earpiercing like a torpedo being launched slowly. "SHIT!" she exclaimed and began running as fast as possible towards the exit of the warehouse vainly using her fire to rocket her along faster. BLAM!!! As the mech landed where Blaze had previously been it sent shockwaves through the ground annihilating any building, car, or object in the process flinging the surviving creatures and items through the air at high speeds.
"Well that should have gotten her...what the?! She's still alive?!" Robotnik screamed in pure rage spotting the limping creature struggling about on a torn apart street below, "Die already!" Laughing evily the mad scientist launched a volley of missiles at the injured cat only to have them freeze in midair as Silver leapt down in front of her. Spotting his friend behind him Silver tackled her out of the way letting go of the missiles as Maze leapt down where they used to be. "NO!!!" Robotnik screamed angrily as he saw one of his best badniks get blown to pieces from the missiles with Silver and Blaze nowhere in site, "AH!!!! Those little monsters! I'll kill them...ugh...I really need to calm down, I'll have another chance. For now though, I gotta get out of here, not that G.U.N. or anyone can really do anything to me while I'm in this robot."
Laughing maniacally, Robotnik lifted the mech off the ground and, upon morphing the mech into a more jet-like mode, flew off into the horizon. "How bad are you hurt?" Silver asked Blaze cradling her in his arms gently as she struggled to move. "Pretty bad..." "I'm sorry I wasn't there Blaze, we could have taken him probably." "It's not your fault," She said smiling weakly, "If you were there we'd have both Robotnik and Maze to take out, it was pretty lucky that you found me when you did considering Maze landed right where we were." "Yeah," Silver laughed and looked out from being the pieces of debris they were hiding behind, "So, did you find out what Robutnik's up to?" Coughing, Blaze spat out some blood and shook her head to try and get rid of some of the pain before sitting up against a rock and folding her arms, "He's after the Sol Emeralds." "What? Why?" Silver asked a bit confused about the whole situation, "They're just gems." "No they aren't," Blaze replied with her eyes closed as she rested, "In our final fight with Robotnik last time when we had the Sol Emeralds with us I could sense a great energy being given off from them. He seeks to utilize this power to try and take over the earth again." "I didn't feel anything." "Well I did," Blaze sighed opening her left eye, "And his machines sensed it as well. It's an indescribable feeling that you need to witness to fully understand. If he gets his hands on all seven Sol Emeralds we won't be able to stop him."
"Well, where do we start looking for them?" Silver asked Blaze curiously as he rubbed her injured leg. "I don't know," she replied closing her eyes again and moaning a bit, "I guess wherever Robotnik attacks is where we're headed." "Great," Silver murmured, "Being led by a madman, how nice." "It's the only way I can think of at the moment..." Quietly they sat in the settling rubble of the torn apart setting resting for a bit until Silver broke the silence. "Wait a second...didn't you say that you could sense the gems' power?" he asked looking into her eyes, "perhaps we could use that to track them down ahead of our dear insane friend." "I only sensed it that one time Silver, when we saw them at Robotnik's base and when I was fighting him before he used the Eggsterminator on me before I saw that he actually had one of the emeralds with him."
"Are you sure he's trying to get the emeralds?" Silver whispered a bit more confused now, "I mean, he just had one emerald with him." "I'm positive that's what he's after Silver, completely positive. We need to stop him as soon as possible." "If we can just get our hands on at least one we'll have a much better chance of stopping this supposed plan of his," the hedgehog said as he stood up and stretched, "What the..." Annoyed, Blaze looked up in the direction Silver was pointing and spotted a blimp with a large television screen on it with Robotnik's wretched face plastered on that laughing insanely.
"Attention citizens of earth!" the evil madman announced to apparently the entire planet, "I, Dr. Robotnik have taken it upon myself to unite the world as one in the ways I see fit! Though I have had quite a few setbacks I am nowhere near finished with what I began! Wherever I traverse I shall conquer, those that stand in my way shall be destroyed! I recommend you all simply surrender to my superior way of thinking and not risk any rash actions against my person and cause! If you do not cooperate I shall take it upon myself to liberate the earth of humanity's stupidity and all shall go into a great depression of chaos and destruction! Thank you for your time citizens of earth! When I'm through with this planet it shall be a new age, the age of the Empire of Dr. Robotnik!"
Wide eyed the two companions stared at the floating television screen as flickered back to its programmed commercials with cries of panic and insanity coming from seemingly everywhere around them. "Well," Silver sighed helping Blaze to her feet, "Guess he's made his move; Robotnik really knows how to send us invitations doesn't he?" Nodding, Blaze balanced with her arm around Silver's neck and they began to walk through the wrecked part of the city being sure to kick Maze's head module as they passed by.
And there you have it folks, the end of Chapter 2 of this story. Told you I'd be making the chapters longer...even though I know this isn't necessarily much longer they will be longer chapters I promise, I'm just trying to get down whatever I can type down before I have to get back to school at the moment ) If you like this story please leave comments or whatever, I just enjoy writing this is all It will get more complicated and will utilize various things in the Sonic series timeline to make it all fit together. It will also reveal how Eggman and Eggman Nega (Dr. Robotnik for this story) were able to travel between time periods in the Sonic series as well as show various cameos and returns of some possibly unexpected characters. Hope you all enjoy this as much as I like writing it so far and stay tuned for more!
