Disclaimer: *sigh* if it avoids legal troubles then I shouldn't complain… I don't own anything except my OC.
As Doctor Eggman cleared his throat to begin briefing on the current situation, he heard a *SLAM* coming from the entrance of his base. When he saw what made the commotion, he saw Silver and Blaze running in. Silver walked up to Sonic and said, "I don't know why, but I get the feeling that we've already met. The funny thing is that we haven't met." The blue blur replied, "Same here, but I'm busy right now. Can we discuss this later? There's a major crisis going on right now, and Eggman is about to tell us what's going on." Blaze told Silver, "Silver, forget that for now, let's see if there's anything we can do to help them with their problem."
After Silver and Blaze were seated, Eggman began explaining the time crisis that's about to happen. He told them everything from what started the problem to the predicted outcomes to the possible 'worst case scenarios'. Everyone gasped at the 'worst case scenario' and began asking how to prevent it from happening. Eggman suggested, "I would suggest that Princess Elise release Iblis and then seal the abomination in another vessel because I know Mephiles will go after her and try to release that magma freak. I know it sounds crazy…" Before he could continue, everyone saw Amy and Princess Elise waking up. They were in front of the fat man lying unconscious in front of his 'desk'. "Princess Elise!" gasped everyone when she awakened. A little while later, Sonic rushed over to Amy to help her up once she was awake. Sonic decided to fill in the ladies on the details they missed while they were unconscious. Before Princess Elise could object, Sonic told her to hold that thought while Eggman finishes explaining his plan.
"Where was I… Oh yeah! I know it sounds crazy, but the idea behind changing Iblis's vessel is to create a decoy to delay Mephiles from becoming more powerful. The problem with this plan is that we have to do it very quickly or else Black Doom notices Iblis's release. It may be risky, but I have confidence that you guys might pull it off." Eggman concluded before asking the audience for questions. Amy was the first one to point out a flaw by asking, "Seems like a good idea, but who is going to be Iblis's new vessel? None of us besides Elise are of royal blood suitable for Iblis." Blaze then stood up and said, "I was accepted by Iblis to be it's vessel before because my soul is already imbued with fire. It's also because the events that happened when we sealed Iblis only affected the ones on Earth when the crisis happened.*"
"Uh, what's with the asterisk?" asked Eggman. Blaze replied, "I remember that during Silver's story during the event. I disappeared before anything else happened since I sent myself to my own dimension to prevent any further devastation from Iblis on Earth. I released that 'magma freak' on another planet in my dimension so that I can return to help my friends. Don't worry about Iblis in my dimension, he's on a planet that Mephiles can never get to since I made sure of it. That planet is also the home of one of Silver's mentors before he came to this dimension." Silver suddenly remembered who it was that the cat was referring to. "Aw, man! I can't believe I forgot about him! Now I remember some of the training he gave me." Before he said another word, he motioned for everyone to follow him outside so he can demonstrate the things he just remembered.
Once everyone was outside, Silver stretched his arm out to the sea, concentrated some energy in his hands and blast it towards the ocean. In a matter of seconds, a huge chunk of water rose up out of the harbor in the shape of a sphere and hovered over Silver. The psychokinetic warrior raised his other hand and thrust it towards one of the nearby crane machines (the ones used to carry heavy crates onto the ships mind you) and the water from the 'sphere' raced towards the heavy machinery's supporting base and the metal parts snapped like a twig. Everyone was impressed by the display Silver showed, but he said there's more. He then used whatever remaining water he had left and thrust it towards the sky. Two seconds later, it began raining heavily. Silver placed some target dummies nearby and then put his right arm upwards, sent a little bit of his energy to the sky, and lightning struck the dummies with full force. After each dummy was torched, the next lightning strike hit the next dummy instead of Eggman's base. Eggman stared dumbfounded at the feat he was observing and was about to ask how it was possible, until Silver told him to wait since he had one more trick to show him. Silver used his powers to get some more water from the harbor and, this time, used his powers to freeze the liquid. Once it was a block of ice, he commanded whatever water was not frozen to shoot forward towards the sky and make a pattern. As the water was doing what it was commanded, he then thrust the icy part of the block to follow the water and freeze up it's trail.
A little while later, the ice froze up the water's trail and everyone, even Eggman but his jaw dropped like Wile E. Coyote when something unbelievable happened, when they saw the result. The icy trail in the sky was shaped like Blaze. This impressed everyone, but Blaze was charmed by the icy figure the most. Silver turned to his audience and told them "My mentor taught me how to control the waters like this, but the only thing he told me about himself was that he preferred to be called 'K'. The only thing I remember about him right now was that he looked like a whale and wherever he goes he causes a rainstorm.#" Blaze then spoke up, "Silver and I were trained by different mentors, but met when our teachers told us to eliminate each other's mentors. I won't get into the details, but that's what happened as far as I remember as well. Here's a bit about what my mentor taught me about his powers." Silver and Blaze swapped places in terms of audience and entertainer, and held her hand towards the ground.
A huge chunk of the earth about the size of an airplane hangar rose out of the ground and landed next to the pyrokinetic feline. She then 'commanded' some of the earth to float in front of her while she gathered some flames in her free hand. Blaze then threw the fireball at the floating chunk of earth and it melted into lava. Eggman was somewhat impressed at how Blaze was able to make the earth chunk float and use her fiery skills at the same time, but he was more impressed at what she did next. Blaze 'gathered' some sunlight from the evening sun and shot a beam of green energy at the huge chunk of earth. She expertly fired the beam at the earth to form a statue of what seemed like an anthro of some sort, Silver was the first to notice it's features and continued watching. After 'carving' the earth into her desired liking, she 'grabbed' the lava she made earlier to add some last details onto her monument. Once she was done, she informed the group, "My mentor caused a huge heat wave wherever he went, and it was like being in a desert (in earth talk) but with stronger heat from the sun. My mentor looked like a spiky armadillo, red in color, and went by the name of 'G'.#" Everyone stood there staring at the statue in awe and wondered how she managed to pull it off so easily, but Silver was the one who was most enticed by the figure because it looked like an exact replica of himself. Blaze then added, "That's just some things he taught me about the power of earth and the sun's light. I just used my imagination at how I could use it for demonstration". Eggman took in those supernatural wonders to his list of factors, and found out that Blaze will have to do for Iblis's new vessel.
Amy ruined the moment by saying, "Is this a demonstration, or is it some way to show off for each other?" that threw Silver and Blaze off completely, and they denied Amy's accusation. Deep down inside both of them was the feeling for each other. Silver was the first to retaliate by saying, "I didn't know if Blaze remembered her mentor or not, so I thought I might as well try something to refresh her memory, and at the same time demonstrate my mentor's training". Blaze said a similar statement, but the 'refresh her memory' section Silver said was replaced by nothing between us but merely showing how fascinated I was of Silver's demonstration and did something equally impressive. Amy just told them to forget what she said and should return to Eggman's plans.
Before long, Sonic spotted something out of the ordinary near the statue's base. When he went to check it out, he saw that the object was a gray bracelet with a green egg-shaped jewel adorned on the larger part of the bracelet. Seeing this, he suddenly remembered a certain chocolate-loving friend he once had. The moment he remembered his pal, he also remembered one of it's powers that helped him save the world from Dark Gaia.
Blaze and Silver have officially arrived and are helping Sonic and company with their unbelievable powers they suddenly remembered from their training. Looks like Sonic found a certain little dog's necklace (at least to that little dog) and remembered an old pal. What do you think Eggman has planned once Iblis is sealed into it's new vessel? The answer to all those questions and more is simple: stay tuned for more in the next chapter.
# So, do you know who their mentor is? If not, go play some other games or ask around to find out who they are. One thing I will tell ya about them is this: they are opposites of each other, but take great advantage of their respective weathers. If you still don't know who they are, then you haven't played another favorite game of mine.
(P.S. Merry Christmas people!)
