Chapter 41: No Time to Make Up:
I am Blaze the Cat! The former princess of the Sol Dimension!
Ugh...why do I feel so weak all of a sudden?! Last thing I remember, I
was confronting...AMY! NOW I remember! Ooh, that bitch! I can't believe
her! She helped me form a closer bond with Silver, she helped me get
through my weight-loss (and vice-versa), and now she decides to start
flirting with MY fiancé?! And to think that my payback could have been
complete had she not gotten ahold of that damn fire-extinguisher! I would
continue my revenge right now, but honestly, it's too late!
It was midnight as Blaze finally regained her composure. Getting up, she looked around at the house around her. The walls were covered in black smudges, the hallway rugs were scrunched up, and fire-extinguishing solution was all over and had already begun warping the hardwood floors. Too tired to continue the fight or even start cleaning up the mess she'd made, Blaze slumped to her bedroom. She found Silver in the bed, fast asleep. Clearly indicating that she had not forgotten the incident from earlier, Blaze yanked Silver out of bed and tossed him to the floor.
"Ow! What the fuck!?" He said, still drowsy.
"You're not off the hook either, Silver!" Blaze said, "Since you let Amy hit on you like that, you're not sleeping in here until further notice! And do not try to argue!"
"Blaze, really, what are you talking about?" Silver asked, only to be thrown out into the hallway along with a pillow from the bed.
"I mean it!" Blaze said after him, slamming the door.
Silver got up, his pillow slung beneath his arm as he carefully moved a finger along the newly-acquired and slightly bloody claw-mark across his right cheek. He sighed, still not understanding why Blaze was acting so out-of-character.
Inside the room, Blaze had thrown herself into the bed and was angrily sniffling.
"Well, uh, I just want you to know that I love you...no matter what you weigh." Silver said from inside the flashback that entered her mind.
Blaze started crying again.
"I can't believe he would do that! Even after he said that...and proposed to me!" She bawled, angrily removing her engagement ring and tossing it to the ground, causing it to roll under the nightstand.
As he was walking away, Silver heard the sobs.
"Blaze, seriously, open up!" He pleaded.
"NO!" Blaze shouted back, "Don't make me scratch you up some more!"
Silver jumped back.
"Okay, okay." He replied, walking away.
Silver went straight to the living room, not even bothering to check the spare bedroom, which was occupied though he was unaware. Angrily plopping his pillow onto the sofa, he lay down.
I can't believe it! She threw me out! And I didn't even do anything wrong! He thought.
Despite the things on his mind and the discomfort of the couch, Silver eventually fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Sonic and Amy had both gone to bed, and Sonic Jr. had gone back to sleep, and stayed that way due to the noises from earlier no longer being made. Amy was still glossy-eyed and sniffling.
"Sonic, I know you're mad, but it wasn't my fault! Silver looked out of whack and he kissed me against my will!" She whined.
"It's alright, I believe you, Amy." Sonic replied, "Because I saw the whole thing while I was taking Jr. to bed. Silver had clearly been hypnotized or something, and I saw him start talking to you just out the corner of my eye; he didn't look or sound normal at all."
"Well at least someone agrees with me!" Amy sobbed, "...but even when I tried to tell Blaze what really happened, she attacked me and started claiming that I was cheating!"
"Hmm, well just leave her alone for now. She'll...cool down." Sonic said with a slight smirk.
Amy began to grow angry.
"This is not the time for your jokes!" She cried.
"Look, you're being ridiculous! Blaze will calm down at some point and things will be back to normal! I know you were telling the truth, so what's the big deal?" Sonic asked. "If you would just hold me!" Amy pleaded, giving Sonic a few seconds to do as he was told, "The thing is though, how will I be able to tell everyone else the truth since they're so convinced otherwise?"
"Well, you can either wait 'till she settles down to tell her, or you can just leave the mystery unsolved!" Sonic replied, "Now let's go to sleep before we wake Jr. up again."
I'm Dr. Eggman Nega! The greatest scientist in the Sol Dimension!
Tonight just isn't my night! I was SO CLOSE to nabbing the Sol Emeralds from that
nine-lived nuisance, when suddenly, her blue hedgehog friend appeared and intervened
in the diversion I set up to distract everyone! There's NO WAY I can take both of them
on myself! This calls for desperate measures!
In the deserted streets of City Escape, Dr. Eggman Nega was standing in an alleyway with yet another handheld gadget in his hand.
"C'mon c'mon, pick up!" He groaned, repeatedly tapping the "call" button.
"Hello? HELLO!?" He continued, "Seriously, Eggman! I need your help to stop Sonic and Blaze and get the Sol Emeralds!"
There was nothing but static on the screen.
"Well, it seems I'll have to deal with them myself. At least with that drama I created at their residence, they should still be distracted enough for me to snag the emeralds anyway." The doctor solemnly concluded, hopping back into his parked Egg Mobile.
Once he came across the mansion once more, he could see that all the lights were off. Pressing the invisibility button, he silently hovered over the roof, emerald radar in hand as he scanned the area. The beeping went off, pinpointing that the emeralds were somewhere beneath the left side of the roof, slightly nearer to the front. Hovering down, Nega extended a mechanical arm tipped with a claw from his Egg Mobile and carefully and quietly, he drilled a hole in the roof, just large enough to fit the claw through. Using the beeps from his radar, he guided his claw around the room it was now in. It turned out that the emeralds were located in Blaze's room, hidden in a drawer in the nightstand on Silver's side of the bed. (The doctor was also using a handheld that could see through solid objects such as walls and ceilings). Finally, the small chest where the Sol Emeralds were stashed was picked up and quickly lifted outside.
Unfortunately, the stealthy scientist's plan was hindered as Blaze woke up and started to walk across the room, (presumably to go to the restroom) when she saw the unusual spot of light on the floor. Looking up, she noticed the emerald box floating above the roof, and she could tell it was the emerald box because she had the innate ability to sense the Sol Emeralds' power, even from long distances. Without hesitation, she pointed her finger upwards and released a small but potent fireball, which hit Eggman Nega right on the end of his mustache, catching it on fire.
"Yowch!" He yelled as his flailing arm accidentally bumped the invisibility button, revealing himself.
"Eggman Nega!" Blaze gasped, right before noticing the emerald chest dropping.
With a high jump, she caught it before it even hit the roof. The doctor elegantly doused his mustache with two of his gloved fingers.
"I know, I know, it's been a long time. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to get this over-with...so hand me the Sol Emeralds!" He ordered.
"No way in hell!" Blaze replied, tossing the chest off to the side, "Because knowing you, you would just use them for some assholish plan in dominating this world!"
She suddenly stopped, wondering about the Sol Dimension, but without even bothering to ask about it, she decided to attack by charging up a fire-spin and jumping towards Nega.
"Doo!" He yelled, narrowly avoiding the attack and choosing to fly away at high speed.
Having landed on the roof, Blaze watched him fly away.
"Hey! Get back here you coward!" She yelled after him.
