Chapter 7 I should have been there…

Hikari show Sonic to her and Blaze room. The room was small and dirty. "Blaze? Where is she Hikari?". "oh no!" said Hikari as she rush to the bathroom. As she open it, they could see Blaze on the floor and unconscious. Hikari pick her up and place her on the bed. "what happen to her!" said Sonic as he grab Blaze hands. Hikari went to the bathroom and brought a bag of powder. "…Tony addicted her to this. Its called catnip". "a drug?". "yes. She so high that she doesn't remember you. Before she became addicted to this, she talk about you and how you will save her from this place" said Hikari as she sat across from Sonic. Sonic stroke his hand across Blaze cheek and didn't speak. "you better get her out of here before-". Suddenly Sonic out Hikari off. "…did she…". "don't worry. I took her place when guys ask for her". Sonic took in a deep breath and stood up. "…thank you but I hate to ask but can you watch over her for a little longer?". "why? Are you leaving! You jerk!". "what? No! I need to pay a visit to Tony". Sonic left and Hikari turn to Blaze. "…your lucky to have someone like him".

Sonic walk into Tony office after someone told him where. Tony and a group of bodyguards was in the room. "hey! Its my new pal! Hey listen! Someone broke into my prison and free my girls family! Heck! They even stole some gems I found. We're just…huh?". Tony and the others saw Sonic fur slowly turning light black and hear him saying something. "…I should have been there…we should have been there for her! TONY!" yelled Sonic as he rush over to Tony. Two bodyguards jump on Sonic but was blasted off with Sonic black aura. "stop him! Do your job! Protect me!" yelled Tony as he jump below his desk. One bodyguard punch Sonic in the face but it didn't damage him at all. Sonic kick the guard to a wall. The others took out their blasters and fired at Sonic. Sonic smile and stop the lasers. Everyone was in shock and then Sonic unleash a wave of darkness and sent all of them into the wall. Tony was in a corner and crying as Sonic walk up to him and pointed Chaos lance at him. "please! Don't kill me! I'll do anything!". "let all the girls go!". "what! If I do that, then I'll go out of-". Sonic thrust the lance next to Tony head. "okay! Okay!". Tony pick up a microphone and spoke. "all you girls are free! Go!". Sonic could hear girls cheering for joy down below and walk away. "if we return and you are using women like this again and then we will kill you!" said Sonic as he return to normal and left. Tony got up and ran over to his desk and took out a blaster. "you won't get away with this!". just then Tony hand was cut off. As Tony fell to the ground, Jumper came out of his stealth mode and pointed his blaster at him. "please! I'm sor-". Jumper shot him in the head. "that's for the commander girl".

Back at the banning building, Sonic was placing Blaze on board till he saw Jumper walking to the ship. "what are you doing here?". "I came to help you but it looks like your okay". just then Hikari and the boy cat from before walk up to Sonic and handed him Blaze stuff. "thank you Sonic. Take good care of her! If you ever hurt her…well it won't be pretty!". "thank you sir!" said the boy as he bowed to him. "take care! Farewell!" said Sonic as he wave goodbye. The ship rose into the air and took off.

"the drug will be out of her system soon. She will be fine Sonic. So get some sleep" said Breeze as she watch Sonic sitting next to Blaze bedside. Sonic didn't answer back, so Breeze left the room. Outside the med-wing, Jumper was waiting outside. "hey Jumper. What bring you here?" said Breeze as she walk with Jumper down the hall. "is Blaze is going to be okay?". "yeah". "good". "love is sure a beautiful thing…huh?". Breeze notice Jumper staring at her. "…something wrong?" said Breeze as she blush. Suddenly Jumper got closer to her face. "…is he going? No…he still loves Flare…but…" thought Breeze. As Jumper got closer to her, Breeze could hear her heart pounding even faster. "…Jumper…" said Breeze as she close her eyes and got closer to him. Suddenly Breeze felt Jumpers hand brushing through her cheek. "there. You just got something in your fur Breeze". "…what?". "yeah I got it" said Jumper as he smile at her. SLAP! Jumper rub his cheek as he watch Breeze storming off. "what's her problem?". meanwhile during the night, Sonic still didn't leave Blaze side. "…Blaze…I'm sorry…I should have been there for you…please forgive me". a few hours pass and Sonic spoke again. "remember when we first met? It was nine months ago. It was when Eggman stole the Sol emeralds and you went after him. Then we met at the Eggmen base in space and you believe you could save both worlds on your own but…" said Sonic as he lower his head. "…but I couldn't and you taught me to open up to others like you Sonic". Sonic quickly look up and saw that Blaze was awake and smiling at him. "…Blaze! I'm…". all of a sudden Blaze hug Sonic and cried. "…I knew you come for me!". Blaze turn her head and saw Sonic face bright red. "what's wrong Sonic?". "…your…chest…". Blaze look down and saw she was naked. She quickly grab her sheet and turn away from Sonic and blush bright red. Sonic grab and turn Blaze toward him and kiss her. Blaze pulled Sonic into the bed with her and he smile at her. "goodnight Blaze". "goodnight Sonic". both of them started to kiss but soon stop as they heard Shade. "goodnight you two". "…goodnight Shade" said both of them.

Sonic and Blaze woke up and saw Jumper in his armor staring at them. Blaze scream while Sonic fell from the bed. "what the heck Jumper!" yelled Sonic as he got back up. "Jumper? No its me! Ami!". "Jumper? Ami?" said Blaze confuse. "I'll tell you later. Anyway why are you here Ami?". "huh? Oh right! Commander! your needed at the bridge". "commander?". "don't ask. okay I'm coming but why are you controlling Jumper suit?". "oh! Breeze is installing the life support system and a first aid kit". "oh okay. Blaze I'll be back soon. Get some rest". Sonic dash off, while Ami handed Blaze her clothes. Blaze was back in her outfit and rose from the bed but almost fell. "hey take it easy it! My scanner still says your still weak" said Ami as she help Blaze to the chair. "thank you Ami". Blaze look around the room and didn't saw Shade anywhere. Blaze was about to ask Ami where she was but just then Breeze enter the room. "oh your awake Blaze! How are you feeling?" said Breeze as she install the support system into Jumper suit. "I'm fine. Thank for healing me". "well its my job…okay Ami! The system is in. here bring this kit to Jumper". Ami grab the box and turn to Blaze. "do you want to look around the ship?". "ship?". "yeah. Look out the window" said Breeze as she sat at her desk. Blaze look outside and saw the void of space.
