Chapter 10 The Truth
Blaze stop running and quietly move to the Elders destroy doorway and look inside to see Naga in front of the elders. Also in the chamber was a crane robot. The robot was pulling something out of the Flames of Sol. "…Marine, this is the plan. You…huh?". Blaze notice Marine was missing. Again Blaze wasn't surprise as she sigh. Just then Blaze heard Naga talking. "heeheehee! Your highness I know your there. Please enter". "look like I have no choice…" said Blaze to herself. Blazes walk into the chamber and just then a huge red emerald was finally taking out from the pit of Sol. "is that the master emerald?". "heeheehee! Yes your highness. Even if the legend states that the goddess became our sun when she left this world, its somewhat true. After the pirates found the scepter, they also found a stone tablet writing in the sky people language. It seems it was her body that became the sun while her soul became the master emerald. Heeheehee! Think of the power I will have when I connect this emerald to one of my doomsdays machines! I'll be unstoppable! Its all thanks to the elders for creating these memories orbs!". "memories orbs?". "yes. When I learn how to open the orb storage unit thanks to my spy, I saw into the guardians memory and saw where the Master emerald was hidden". Naga jump into his egg craft and hold up the orb. "I also found this! Heeheehee!".
Just then Marine, Alex, Seeker and Raynor enter the chamber and everything in the chamber started to change into temple of gift. "No! don't show her this memory Naga!" called out a Elder. Everyone watch as Sara walk out of the temple and she could see a red glow over the dark sky. "huh?". Sara use her burst hover and could see the castle in flames. "Blaze!". as Sara landed Raynor walk out of the temple. "what's with that red glow in the sky?". "the castle is in flames! I must go and see if Blaze and her parents are safe!". "then let me come with you Sarah". "…its best I go alone Raynor. Besides someone must look after Heat". "Heat?" said Blaze as she look over Raynor. "I understand…just be careful". "I will". Sara kiss Raynor on the lips and took off. As Sara reach the castle she could see the staff and knights running out of the burning castle. Sara rush in and headed to the throne room fast as she can. Just then Sara notices she was sweating from the heat. "…this can't be right…unless…no! did the jacket failed to suppress her power?". finally Sara reach the throne room which was consume in flames and could see Blaze crying. Sara look over from her and was horror to see Blaze parents dead. They were burn to death. "heeheehee! This girl power over fire is outstanding…". Sara look up and saw a egg shape man in a hover craft scanning Blaze with some kind of device. "who are you? And what happen here!" order Sara. "heeheehee! My name is Eggman Naga and I did nothing…well I did hurt the king and queen for not giving me this land so I could make eggman land. When I attack this little girl, all of a sudden, flames consumes everything. Good thing I still had the barrier up or I been hard boil. Heeheehee! Hearing her parents screams as they burn to death by her flames was music to my ears". "…you're a monster!". "me? A monster? Wrong my guardian friend. The only monster here is that girl. Even as we speak, her flames are still growing. Soon this kingdom will be destroy by her. that's why…". Naga press a button and a missile fired out of the hovercraft and was heading toward Blaze. "…she must die for the future of eggman land!". "Blaze! Run!". "…I'm a murder…". "BLAZE!" yelled Sara as she use burst step reach to her. The missile blew up and as the smoke was clearing, Naga could see Sara holding Blaze. Blaze felt something warm on her head. As she look up, she saw Sara badly hurt as blood drip from her nasty wounds. "Sara…?". Sara said nothing as she fell to the ground. "I'm alone now…". "…curse that guardian! Get a load of this!". Naga fired six more missiles but all of a sudden they melted as they almost reach Blaze. Blaze fur became light black and blue fire surround her as she fired a huge fireball. Naga was able to protect himself with his craft barrier. "looks like I over stayed my welcome. Till we meet again your Highness! Heeheehee!". Naga teleported away and Blaze scream in anger as her fur started to become more black. Just then all seven sol emeralds appear and started to spin around her and she became trap in a colorful barrier. Suddenly the six elders appear. "…just as we fear. She becoming one with the monster" said a female elder. A shorter elder step up and spoke. "…we need to kill her before its too late!". a taller elder spoke in anger to the short elder. "we can't! Solar needs a ruler. If she dies, so will Solar". "whatever we do, we must do it now! She breaking free!" said a much older elder as he saw Blaze blasting the barrier with powerful fireballs. Just then Sara stood up and walk into the barrier and hug Blaze. "…its okay…your never alone Blaze…". to the elders surprise, Blaze return to normal and fainted. Sara stroke Blaze head and look over to the elders. "…e-erase this from her memories. She mustn't know what happen here…a-and…". Sara fell to the ground and everything became dark and then return to the chamber. Marine step forward and could see Blaze just standing there. "Blaze?". Blaze didn't answer, while Naga laugh at her. "heeheehee! I love the part where you kill your family your highness. Heeheehee!". within Blaze mind, a sound of chains breaking could be heard. "…ha…Hahaha!". everyone became shock to hear Blaze laughing. "Hahaha!". just then her fur became pure black, the fur on her gloves and heels became blue flames, her jacket slowly burn off, her pony tail became loose and now she had long hair and her eyes faded away. "…finally! I'm free!". Blaze look over to Naga and smile. In a flash, she was in front of him and rose her hand in Naga face. Naga could see blue flames forming around her hand. "…please don't! I'm sorry!". then a small fireball form. "…please your highness! This isn't you!". to Naga relief Blaze lower her hand and spoke. "…your right". to everyone surprise Blaze rose her again at Naga and fired. Everything in front of Blaze melted but the master sol emerald was the only thing undamaged by Blaze attack. "but I'm not Blaze!". Blaze close her eyes and smile. "well it look like he still alive. He teleported right before I fired…". a fat elder fell to his knees and spoke in fear. "the monster is free…we're doom…". Alex, Seeker and Raynor drew their swords as Blaze hover over to them. Marine couldn't believe what's happening right now. To her it felt like a nightmare and she believe she going to wake any second now and tell Blaze about her dream. But this was real. This was really happening. "Blaze" yelled Marine as she was about to run to her but Raynor grab her. Just then Blaze spoke as yellow wings shot out of her back. "Blaze is dead…only I remain…Solaris. The new god of this world!". suddenly Solaris warp outside the temple and shot a tiny fireball at Naga battleship. When the tiny fireball was in the middle of the ship, it quickly grew in size and destroy the ship from within. Solaris flew over the kingdom and rose her hand and soon what looks like stars form in the sky.
Meanwhile Zell, Mia, Gardon, Misty, the knights and watchers could see stars in the grey clouds. "…what's going on now?" ask Zell as he look up into the sky. "I have a bad feeling about this guys! ". Misty turn to the knights and watchers and gave a order. "…how many civilians are left?". "sir! Only 69% made it out of the kingdom!" spoke a hawk knight. "…okay…everyone listen!". the group of warriors listen to Misty and the others was listening over their radios as Misty spoke. "when the last civilians are clear from the kingdom, all soldiers will retreat from the city and regroup at…". just then everyone look up and saw the stars fallen into the city and blew up.
Solaris laugh as each star blew up. Marine and the others watch as Solaris destroy the city as they exited the temple. "Daddy!". Raynor turn and saw his daughter running to him. while Maiev was running to Seeker. "…this…can't be…someone…anyone…please save Blaze!" cried Marine as she hold on tight to the scepter. All of a sudden the Master Sol emerald and jewel scepter started to glow and everyone felt a breeze and then a flash of light blinded everyone. As Marine and the others sight return, she was shock to see who was standing in front of her. "…its you…". Marine started to cry. Her wish came true. The only person who could save Blaze was him and only him. "Sonic!" cried Marine as she hug him. "Marine? Long time no see" said Sonic as he gave her a thumbs up.
