"your highness!". Blaze quickly realize she was in the chamber of the Elders. "your highness?". Blaze turn around and saw Raynor in front of the master sol emerald. "Raynor?". "your highness…your older?". "it's a long story…anyway, why am I here?". "its has to be this!" said Raynor as he took out a small gem. "what is that?". "it's the heart of the sol goddess. I found it in a old temple". just then, the gem floated into the air and became one with the master emerald. Soon Blaze and the master emerald vanish. "huh?" said Raynor confuse.
Blaze and the master emerald reappear and was now in the temple of the gift. Blaze look up and saw the master emerald in the middle of the shrine. "…you come at last…". "huh? Who said that?". all of a sudden, Wildfire appear above of the master emerald and smile. "…m-mother!" cried Blaze. "hello…my sweet daughter". just then, the sol emeralds appeared out of Blaze's body and hover into a circle above her and in a bright light. The emeralds shot into the master emerald and with each beam, the sol emeralds landed around the master emerald but larger and colorless. "are those the sol emeralds?" ask Blaze as she step forward. "…yes we are…". all of a sudden, seven color knights appear above the sol emeralds. "…we have use…". "…Wildfire power…". "…to become more…". "…powerful…". "…we become…". "…the…". "Solar emeralds" said all seven knights. "Solar?". "Blaze…my daughter. You must prove your strength to me. If you do, then I'll fully summon the Solar emeralds power". "…show us your power…" spoke all seven knights. "with the Solar emeralds, you can have a chance to beat Nazo…". "okay! I'm ready!". Wildfire rose her hand and a red light cover the whole chamber which blinded Blaze.
"you grown…". "huh?" spoke Blaze as she open her eyes. Blaze was on a large platform and surrounding the platform was fire. "I'm happy to see you again Blaze…". Blaze turn around and soon her feet felt weak. "…it can't be…" spoke Blaze as her eyes was filled with tears. In front of Blaze, stood Sara. Blaze former teacher and guardian, who died when Blaze was ten years old, was standing there and smiling. "Sara…SARA!" cried Blaze as she hugged her. "calm down. Its nice to see you too". Blaze let Sara go and smile. "I been watching you after the event with Solaris. Raynor ask me to watch over you, so I been doing that. You and your friends have been fighting this person called Nazo and been losing…". "yes but I can beat him if I can prove my mother". "I see…but remember that your not alone. You have friends. You don't have to carry the whole world on your shoulders…". suddenly Sara saw Blaze smiling. "…he told me that once…". "…I'm so happy that you found someone who cares for you so much and…". Sara walk up to Blaze and knee down to her stomach and place her hand on it. "…your going to have a family…" whisper Sara as she shed a tear. "…yes but he doesn't remember anything after he went dark super Sonic, even the part I told him about the baby…I'm kind of happy…". "I understand…but he needs to know…". Blaze look away and didn't answer her. Sara stood up and walk back where she was standing was facing Blaze backwards. "…I want to keep talking to you but…". soon blue flames surround Sara's hands. "…but you must prove your strength!" spoke Sara as she turn to Blaze. "Sara?…no…I can't fight you! I just can't!" cried Blaze. Blaze suddenly saw Sara crying. "…I feel the same too Blaze but you must…and YOU WILL!" yelled Sara as she fired a blue fireball at Blaze. Blaze rose her hands and block it but was being push back by it. Sara watch as Blaze toss the fireball into the fiery sky. "…you became stronger…". "well yeah. I fought a lot of people this year" grin Blaze. "well I'm way stronger than them!". Sara use her fire boost and charge at Blaze. Blaze use her burst step to dodge it but Sara use her burst step as well while still in her boost mode and tackle into Blaze. Blaze slam into the ground but quickly recover and use spinning claw attack. Sara quickly grab Blaze hand and knee kick her in the gut two times and flip her over and did a elbow drop but Blaze block it and kick her in the side of her face. Sara jump back and watch as Blaze rose her hand and smile. "I never had a chance to use this attack…till now!". the air around Blaze hand started to gather in her fist. "Sonic Wind!". Blaze unleash Sonic's move and Sara quickly block it by placing her arms in front of herself but still took damage as it cut up her body. As the blue wind disappear, Sara lower her arms and smile. "I see you learn some new moves over the years…so have I!". Sara open her hands and blue intense fire appear and grew large each passing second. "Dragon Fireball!" yelled Sara as she place her hands together and release a fireball shape like a dragon. Blaze use her axel jump to dodge it but was caught off guard as the dragon smack her out of the sky with its tail. "its alive!" said Blaze as she landed. The dragon made a u-turn and charge at Blaze again. Blaze use her burst step to fully dodge the dragon this time. "…its made of fire, so I can't fight back…but maybe…" thought Blaze as the dragon did a other u-turn. Sara watch as Blaze just stood there and raise her hands at the dragon. "…can she do it?" whisper Sara. Just then the dragon froze in mid-air and roar as the flames slowly disappear. "…almost…" spoke Blaze as she struggle to close her hands. Soon as Blaze close her hands, the dragon vanish. "…I d-did it!". "your power over fire has improve. I'm proud of you but…" said Sara as she appear in front of Blaze and place both hands on her chest. In a flash, Blaze was knock back. "…huh!". Blaze saw a fire version of herself, standing in front of Sara. "…lets see how powerful you are without it!" thought Sara. the copy Blaze turn to the real Blaze and fire boost into her. Blaze fell to the ground and felt a pain that she only felt once. "…I been burn?". Blaze quickly stood up as she saw her copy self unleashing a fireball. "no problem!" said Blaze as she tried to control the fireball. Sara watch as Blaze was hit and fell on the ground. "…w-what happen?…wait!". Blaze tried to summon her flames but nothing happen. "…she took my power over fire!" yelled Blaze as she dodge her copy spark dash. "Blaze…what will you do now? Your power is gone and your defenseless…how will you fight back?" whisper Sara as she continued to watch. Blaze could only dodge and run from her copy. "how can I fight back?…I'm nothing without my power…". suddenly the copy stop as it saw Blaze stop running. "…I can't believe it! I always wanted my power to be gone so could live a normal life but for the first time in my life…I want it back…". Blaze turn to the copy and dash to it. The copy started to fire small fireballs at Blaze but Blaze kept going and ignoring the pain. Blaze reach the copy and jump into the copy. Blaze drain the copy back into her body and her flames return but the flames was burning her body. "…I w-won't give u-up!" yelled Blaze as she drop to her knees. Soon the flames stop burning her and Blaze collapse in pain. Sara walk up to her and knee down. Sara could see Blaze was badly burn. "Blaze…you pass…". Blaze felt her body and face and shed a tear. "its okay Blaze. Look". Blaze felt her body and face again and realize it wasn't burn anymore. "but how?". suddenly Sara and the world was fading away. "SARA!". "…goodbye Blaze. I'm proud of you…". "don't go! Please!". "don't worry. We'll see each other again one day…in till then, I'll be watching over…farewe-". Sara and the world disappear and Blaze found herself back in the chamber of the sol emeralds. "you done well my daughter. You prove your strength in the ability to control fire". As Blaze stood up, Wildfire rose her hands into the air and a fireball appear and vanish into the air. Soon seven beams of light hit each emerald and the color return. "its time" said Blaze as she rose her hands into the air. The seven knights drew their swords and pointed it at Blaze. "NOW! USE OUR POWER!" spoke all seven knights as they disappear. The Solar emeralds started to glow and suddenly, all seven emeralds release a sun like rays at Blaze. "…its so warm…" whisper Blaze as the rays consume her body. A bright flash was made and Wildfire smile. "…I feel unstoppable now! This power is awesome!" said Blaze as she was cover in a bright light. "go my daughter and banish the darkness away with your light!". "…thank you…mother". Blaze floated to her mother and hug her. "…come back safe, you hear me…I want to talk with you about coming up with names for the baby". Blaze let go of her mother and was surprise. "I been watching you too. I can't believe I'm going to be a grandma! Light is going to faint when he hears he's going to be a grandpa!" laugh Wildfire. "…oh mom". Blaze hover away from Wildfire and vanish. "…please come back okay…". soon the master sol emerald and the solar emeralds vanish. As they vanish, the wall above the shrine scatter to reveal a stone painting. The painting had a mix color of a red, orange and yellow female cat with a circle rainbow and seven emeralds behind her. She was also holding someone's hand but the other half of the painting is unfinished.
