SupergamerGreg79 coming to you with a new chapter. This one follows Blaze and Silver through the Water Palace. Just one problem: Blaze hates water. She controls fire and is a cat, and anybody who's anybody knows that fire does not match with water, and cats hate water. Blaze is both. How will they get through this watery death trap, and by the waterproof robots built by…you should know who. Enjoy.

Chapter 4: Emeralds in the Water Palace.
Blaze and Silver not long ago reached the Water Palace, a palace with, what else, water, the one thing Blaze hates.
"Why did that two-tailed fox send US here? I hate water. I'm a cat. I control fire. How am I to get the emeralds?" Blaze complained. Silver, of course, understood. Having been friends with Blaze since childhood, Silver knew Blaze more than anyone.
"Blaze, don't forget, I'm a psychic. I'll just levitate us over the water. Plus, we'll be able to find the emeralds since we're in the air." Silver replied calmly.
"And if the emeralds are in the water?"
"Dang. I never thought of that. I guess I'll go into the water. I should be able to create a psychic bubble to let me breathe." Silver told her, with a hint of confidence.
"Are you sure, Silver?" Blaze asked.
"Don't worry about me, Blaze." Silver reassured her.
"You be careful. I don't want anything bad to happen."
"I will."
Silver then hugged Blaze. Blaze did not see this coming. She felt like she was in heaven. They then realized what was going on and broke apart, blushing.
"Uh, Silver, let's pretend that didn't happen." Blaze said, still getting over what had happened.
"Alright, Blaze." Silver agreed, although they both knew it would be hard to. "We're wasting our time. Let's go and get those emeralds."
They headed off to find the emeralds. An hour later, they were getting nowhere. Silver was tiring, and they were over water. Blaze knew that if they fell, they would land in the water.
"Silver, find some place to land. We're over water, and it's over for us if we fall in." Blaze told Silver.
"We're too far away to land. I think…we're doomed."
Blaze then saw a blue sparkle on the surface.
"Silver, a Chaos Emerald." Blaze said. Silver floated down to it, but his levitation gave out, and they were nowhere near land.
"Blaze, I can't levitate anymore." Silver said in a panic.
"Silver, that can't be." Blaze told him.
"It's over. Blaze, before we die, I want to tell you this. Ever since I first met you, through all the trouble we got into, and the dangers we have faced, I realized that I…I…"
"What, Silver? Tell me."
"I…I…loved you."
Blaze took the news by shock. Her one and only true friend was in love with her this whole time. Blaze then realized that she, too, loved him.
"All this time, you loved me?" Blaze asked.
"Yes, I loved you. You and I were always together. I fell in love with you when we first met. I guess…this is how it ends." Silver told her as they neared the water.
"Silver, I won't allow it to end this way. I love you, too."
With that said, she grabbed him and kissed him. The sudden action filled Silver with new energy, and he regained his power. They broke from the kiss and began to float up. Silver then remembered the emerald and floated down. They picked up the blue emerald, and then saw a ring of land.
"How long has that been there?" Blaze asked Silver.
"I don't know. But it works for me." Silver told Blaze.
They landed to catch a break. But it was short. Not long after they landed, a giant robotic turtle rose from the depths. The cockpit opened to reveal…Eggman Nega.
"Eggman Nega!!" Blaze and Silver said at the same time.
"Ah, if it isn't Blaze. Have a good time with your boyfriend?" Nega asked.
"He's not my boyfriend." Blaze said.
"I'm not her boyfriend." Silver said at the same time. They blushed slightly, but enough for Nega to tell that they were lying.
"So you were lying to me. Too bad. I will end your lives together." Nega told them as he readied a head butt. Silver readied a psychic punch and Blaze charged up a fireball. Nega released the head butt, Silver threw the punch, and Blaze let loose with the fireball. The head butt missed, but the punch and fireball hit dead center. Nega then extended his head and tried to snap at Blaze, then Silver. The attack missed, leaving him open. Nega tried to retract the head, but he couldn't. Then he found Silver keeping the head pinned to the ground.
"Now, Blaze!!" Silver called.
Nega wondered what was coming, but it was too late.
"FLAME TWISTER!!"
A large twister of fire came and surrounded the Egg-Turtle. Blaze managed to sever the spring connecting the head with the body. The body was destroyed, but the head survived. Nega then decided it was time to retreat.
"You'll regret this." Nega yelled as he made his escape.
"Return the Sol Emerald, NOW!!" Blaze yelled.
Blaze then jumped to the Egg-mobile and kicked it, knocking the green Sol Emerald loose. Silver caught it.
"The blue Chaos Emerald and the green Sol Emerald. Two in one."
"Silver, you did great." Blaze hugged Silver.
"Blaze, you were the one who did great. You beat him."
Silver then pulled Blaze to him. As the two kissed, they did not notice that Eggman Nega was still there.
"Oh well. Maybe the emeralds in the desert will suit me well." He said as he flew off.
Silver and Blaze ended the kiss, then decided to return to Sonic's house.
"I love you, Blaze."
"I love you too, Silver."
Meanwhile…
"Hey, boss, why are we heading to Eggman's base?" Storm asked Jet.
"To make him explain what's going on in this world." Jet replied.
"And how did we get involved?" Storm asked Jet.
"Do I have to explain everything again?" Jet asked him. "Fine, I'll tell you once more."
