Chapter Text
Act 1 - Trio of Misfits
Months after the events with Chaos, Eggman has broken into a GUN Military Base, seeking two super powered Mobians he discovered after hacking their database. They’re to be freed ASAP, as ordered by Shadow, deeming it unethical to keep them trapped any longer, shortly after he gained knowledge of their containment.
Eggman busts down the door with his Egg Walker’s bazooka, and enters the experimental weapons wing, as he scoffs, “GUN’s security hasn’t improved much in the few months since Shadow’s new management. Now let’s see where these super powered Mobians are?”
While walking through the experimental weapons wing, Eggman finds two test tubes covered with Blast Shields. Uncannily similar to Shadow’s test tube in the ARK. Eggman lowers the shields, and finds the two Mobians within them, pondering to himself, “Did Gerald….. Create more than one artificial Ultimate Life Form?” Until interrupting himself upon finding the dossier files, proclaiming, “Wait… no! What does this say?....”
Eggman reads the dossier files on the monitors next to the testing chambers. “Subjects Surge and Kitsunami were found on 05-26-20XX, before Shadow’s new management; outside of a GUN military Base; barely conscious and very badly damaged. Name Tags were found on their persons, and little to nothing else is known about the subjects, besides Kitsunami’s Hydrokinesis, and Surge’s energy readings, being that of almost exact to Sonic the Hedgehog’s. (NOTE: Since Shadow Robotnik’s takeover of management for the Guardian Units of Nations, subjects Surge and Kitsunami are to be released on 1-15-20XX. They would be released immediately were it not for the efforts of those who sided, and continued to side with Tower.”
Eggman, figuring fighting fire with fire and Sonic with his greatest fear, water, proclaims, “Hydrokinesis AND the Ultimate power of Sonic? That could be JUST what I need!” and releases Surge and Kitsunami from their test chambers, and they slowly regain consciousness
Kit groans, until noticing Surge unconscious, and rushing to his friend, shouting, “Ma’am! Surge! Are you okay?!”
Surge wakes up groggy and tired, telling Kit, “Yeah dude….. I’m fine” Until noticing Eggman and his Egg Walker towering above her and Kit as they’re down on the floor, shouting “Who are you?!?! Do you know anything about that Hedgehog who attacked us?!?!”
Eggman quickly notices how Surge mentions “that hedgehog who attacked us”, and realizes that her memory must be faltered; just vague enough that it might be able to play into his advantage, asking “Wait, what do you remember about this… hedgehog?”
Surge tries her best to recall, telling Robotnik, “Not much….. I…. Can hardly remember anything! But… I do know one thing… Me and my buddy, Kit…… Our homes were destroyed! And it’s all because of that super powered hedgehog!!!”
Eggman then gets the idea To trick Surge into fighting Sonic for him. No need for reprogramming her mind or anything of the sorts, and forebodingly proclaims, “I think I know who you speak of.”
Surge eagerly responds, “You do?!?! Tell me!!! I’ll beat that punk into the DIRT!!!!!” with a bloodthirst and determination Eggman had not seen before; Not even when he tricked Knuckles.
Eggman proclaims, “Well, I can do that now…. OR, we could team up, and take them down together!”
Surge asks, “Why would we work with you?! We just met!”, as Eggman begins to explain, “Because no offense, but you don’t exactly seem like the meticulous type. I have the brains to help you destroy that menace, and more!”
Kit curiously asks, “How?”, as Eggman further questions Surge, asking “This ‘Super Powered Hedgehog’... They were in a Super form, were they not?”
Surge blurts, “Yeah?”, as Eggman gets a devious grin, proclaiming, “So let us give them a taste of their own medicine!!! You see, according to my grandfather’s research, there exists another dimension. A Kingdom known as Soleanna. And it has its own set of Chaos Emeralds, known as Sol Emeralds. While the hedgehog has the Chaos Emeralds in his possession, they don’t even know of this dimension. Hardly anyone does! The only problem is, I have no idea how to get there….”
Surge pulls out a large pouch from her pocket, saying, “Well….. I have these.” revealing them to be Trezodian Warp Rings. Eggman is amazed to learn that she can use these, but says nothing; As she could learn more about her past if he clues her in, to their origins and exclusivity to Trezodian royalty.
Eggman shouts, “Excellent!!! Come with me! We must get started posthaste!!!”
1 Month since freeing Surge and Kit, Eggman has quickly built a lab and robot factory in the mountains overlooking Soleanna Palace. Where the Brilliant Brain would be relative to the location. Hiding himself in plain sight. On this day, the Badnik Production Facility has a security breach. The Badniks are deployed, but stand no chance against the intruder. Eggman deploys his Egg Breaker Mech, and is shocked to find who… more specifically what, the intruder is, whispering to himself, “An…. Echidna?” with shock and awe.
The echidna declares, “Cease production of these machines now, mustached cretin!!!” with bravado and determination. Eggman, seeking to make this echidna another pawn of his scheme, calmly asks, “What is it that you seek?!”
The echidna proclaims, “I am Krackle! And I know you’re not from this dimension!!!”, Eggman ponders, “How would you possibly know that?!”
Krackle explains, “Because I’ve seen how you transport throughout this Kingdom! The Trezodian Warp Rings!!!”
Eggman decides to play along the calm and understanding facade he plays with Surge and Krackle, blurting, “I….. Yes, you are correct! I’m not of this world! But do know that I’m no villain! I only seek to aid my companions Surge and Kit, in the destruction of the one who brought their home, and memory, to ruin! A super powered hedgehog by the name of Sonic!”
Krackle theorizes to themself that only a Trezodain could have such power, and asks “Wait….. This hedgehog! Does he have the ability to use Warp Rings?!”, with Eggman confirming, “Yes, why?”
Krackle shouts, “Royal Trezodian SCUM!!! Must they wreak nothing but destruction in their wake?!?!”
Eggman notices Krackle shares a hatred that can also play into his advantage, and asks, “Hmmmm….. So you seek the annihilation of the Trezodian Royal Family, do you?”
Krackle announces, “Yes! They annihilated all of my kind from our home dimension! Before we sought asylum in this!”
Eggman declares, “I see…… Then, perhaps you would like to join me and our efforts?”
Krackle doesn’t know if they can trust Robotnik, but declares, “If it means bringing down the Trezodian Royal family? It would be my honor!”
Eggman leaps out from the Egg Breaker to shake Krackle’s hand. He then takes them to his office, to meet Surge and Kit, and announces, “Surge, Kit. I would like you to meet the newest addition to our team! Krackle the Echidna!”
Kit shyly greets Krackle saying“H-hi…”, but Surge greets them with a blunt, “Sup!”
Krackle is eager to work with their new allies, and yells, “Greetings fellow teammates! I see the Echidna are not the only ones scorned by this Sonic character! It is my honor, duty, and DESTINY, to help destroy them!”
Eggman, happy to see Krackle blissful and blind to his ambition, tells them “That’s the precise attitude we need here!”
Surge has become curious of Robotnik’s motivation to destroy Sonic, and asks “So doc. You never told us. What did Sonic do to You ? What makes you as hellbent on smashing this punk as the rest of us?”
Robotnik, genuinely scorned and remorseful of his past with Sonic before they became enemies, somberly replies, “He was my son…. And he turned on me the second I didn’t aid him. Because of him, I lost my partner Stone, my lab, my home…… And I can never go back to being free and happy…….”
Surge and the rest become silent for a short while. Until Surge walks up to Robotnik and puts her hand on his shoulder to tell him, “For you, doc. I’m gonna make him hurt even more.”
Eggman feels bittersweet about his trick for the first time in his life, having used his past to both trick Surge, Kit, and Krackle, but to bond with them too; Bittersweetly telling her, “Thank you, Surge. Now let’s get back to work.”
Act 2 - Sol Power
Several months after Eggman has gone missing since his raid on the GUN Military base, along with subjects Surge and Kitsunami, Sonic is sleeping alone in his bed in his new home with Amy… only to be greeted with a horrible nightmare. Station Square is destroyed and covered in a dark, tar like energy. The citizens and his friends have been corrupted and turned into monsters. And at the top of the highest point in Station Square, is another monster. The biggest, and most dark looking monster out of all of them. He doesn’t recognize it, but he knows who that monster is…. Himself.
A loud crash is heard, and Sonic wakes up, panting and scared out of his mind. Sonic quickly realizes there’s a huge hole in the wall in his room, with Surge at the foot of his bed.
Sonic asks, “What the hell is going on?! And who are you?!”, insulting and enraging Surge as she asks, “Who am I? WHO AM I?!?!?”
Surge kicks his bed outside through the wall, crashing through the home and knocking him to the ground outside. She zips through as a bolt of lightning and gets right in Sonic’s face, picking him up in a chokehold and furiously telling him, “You destroyed my LIFE!!!! And you don’t even remember my NAME?!?!?!?!”
Surge kicks Sonic into the air, zipping up and kicking him down, knocking him into the ground, announcing, “My name is SURGE!!! You spiny blue PRICK!!!!!”
Sonic tries to pick himself up as he explains, “I’ve- NGH-.. never met you in my entire life!!!”
Surge declares, “Like HELL you haven’t!!! I awake in this dimension, beaten, broken, and can only remember one thing!!!..... A super powered hedgehog who shattered my memory-!!!!!” as she strikes Sonic with lightning, continuing to tell Sonic how he, “Destroyed my home-!!!!!” and then pins Sonic down with her shoe, shouting “And RUINED! MY! LIFE!!!!!!”
Sonic is in horrible pain, barely able to move or breathe while Surge creates a lightning spear, and attempts to kill Sonic. But before she can strike the killing blow, she gets a call from her communicator, with Eggman telling her, “SURGE!!! You’re not supposed to kill him NOW!!!! You’re SUPPOSED to lead him to the Sol Dimension!!!”
Sonic painfully mutters, “So-... Sol Dimension?” while Surge groans and blurts, “FINE!!!” as she opens a Warp Ring portal to an unknown Castle
Sonic, shocked to see Surge’s ability to use the Warp Rings, asks, “What the- You can use those!??!” with a strained voice
Surge yells “Shut up!!! I’d kill you RIGHT NOW if it was up to me, but for now, I gotta follow orders… SEE YA CHUMP!!!!” and kicks Sonic through the Warp Ring, knocking him out when he lands.
As Sonic awakens, he finds himself in a place he’s never seen before. Full of pink grass and Cherry Blossom trees, brown and orange checker marked hills, ruby mountains, and a huge lake. And in the middle of the enormous lake lies an island housing an enormous and pristine looking castle.
Sonic groans and mutters to himself, “Talk about a rude awakening. At least she kicked me to-….. The most beautiful place, this side of Green Hill…….” in amazement at the beautiful scenery, until he tells himself “Ugh, focus, Sonic! Hopefully that castle will get me some answers.”
Sonic speeds off to the castle. Running down the bridge to the island, maneuvers up the walls and into the courtyard to ask the guards for info, asking “Uhh, hey y’all. Can I get someone to tell me where I am, and if anyone knows a green Tenrec named Surge?”
The guards look at eachother confused, and surround Sonic. Arresting him, and throwing him into the dungeon
Sonic mutters, “.....Okay, maybe that wasn’t the best idea….” and notices a prison guard coming by, asking them “Hey! Can I talk to whoever’s in charge here?!”
The prison guard tells Sonic, “You broke into the castle walls and somehow stole Royal Warp Rings. There’s no way you’re getting out.”
Sonic tries to tell the guard, “I didn’t steal them, I-!” until another guard comes rushing in to inform the other guard talking to Sonic.
The second guard tells the other, “Uhhh, we looked into the prisoner’s background!” with the first guard asking, “And?”
The second guard, confused at their findings, tells the other, “We found nothing. Like, LITERALLY, nothing. We checked the database, birth records, nothing.”
The first guard is unconvinced of the anonymity of Sonic’s origins, and says, “He couldn’t have just come from nowhere!”
Sonic tells the guards, “I’m Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! And I’m from another dimension.”
The first guard, still unconvinced, says “Please. How can you be from another dimension?”, peeving Sonic as he explains, “Well, I dunno. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you have no record of my existence. And, oh yeah, I have Royal Warp Rings!”
The second guard asks, “You think he’s telling the truth?”, as the first guard gets an idea, and tosses Sonic a Warp Ring through the bars, saying “Well let’s have him put his money where his mouth is!”
Sonic catches the ring and gives the guard a confused look, as the first guard goads Sonic, telling him, “If you really are from another dimension, and you can somehow use those warp rings, then warp here. Right in front of us.”
Sonic stares at them for a bit, and bluntly says, “Okay.” and flicks the ring onto the ground like a coin as the portal opens and spawns above the guards.
Sonic warps right next to them. Leaving the guards speechless, until the first guard asks, “How…. How can you use those?! Trezodian Royalty have been dead for centuries in the Chaos Dimension!”
Sonic explains “My mom is Princess Aleena and she time traveled to the present to give birth to me and my siblings, Sonia and Manic.”
The first guard blurts, “What?!?!!?”, with Sonic explaining, “I’m not too familiar with the details myself, since she doesn’t like talking about it, but it’s the truth!”
The guards stare at each other for a bit, until the second guard tells the other, “I think we should send him to her .” with the first guard agreeing, saying, “I think so too.”
The guards start to take Sonic to the throne room to meet… someone, and as they make their way to her, Sonic asks, “So…. This dimension got Chili Dogs?”
One of the guards confirms, “Yeah, why?”, as Sonic explains he was “Just curious.”
The guards open the doors into the empty and vast throne room, and leave Sonic to their ruler. Closing the doors behind him, as Sonic yells, “Hey! Don’t just leave me here! Hey!!!”
Sonic groans and mutters, “Jerks. So! Who’s in charge here?” as a voice says from behind him, “That would be me.” as a very tall and elegant looking cat girl comes in to meet Sonic
Sonic, awestruck at her beauty, thinks to himself, Holy wowza she’s pretty! and tells her, “Uhhh, hi! I’m Sonic! And you are?”
The cat woman tells Sonic,“My name is Blaze the Cat. I’m surprised you haven’t heard of me. I am the great princess of Soleanna.”
Sonic notices his fur feeling more and more frizzy and static-y when walking closer to Blaze, and asks, “Hey, do you feel a little weird, or warm, or, any physical discomfort”
Blaze mockingly replies, “Yeah, I’m definitely uncomfortable talking to common trash like you! Did you really just waltz into the courtyard looking to talk to me? I’d be flattered if it wasn’t so pathetic.”
Sonic tries his best to not be insulted, and jokes, “Trust me, there ain’t nothin ’ common about me~”
Blaze gets anxious upon noticing Sonic asked if she felt a rise in temperature, and asks, “Wait. Why were you asking if I was… warm?”
Sonic explains, “Because I think you’re the version of me of this dimension.” only for Blaze to mockingly laugh at this theory, telling Sonic “Don’t make me laugh! Someone like me could NEVER be related to you. You can barely dress yourself, much less be divine, Soleanna royalty!”
Sonic sighs, and explains, “I don’t know all the deets, since I kinda space out at times when my buddy Tails explains his science stuff to me, but there’s a theory of his called Mirror Realities. They’re Dimensions that split and mirror the other. Judging from the location of this castle, the look of the nature surrounding it, our royal status, and the weird static-y feeling I have, I think you’re my dimensional counterpart.”
Blaze, wanting nothing to do with a peasant like Sonic, proclaims, “That’s impossible! You’re just some poor trash who came stumbling into the castle just for some desperate attempt to feel important by being in my presence… And you’ve wasted enough of my time! Guards!-”
Sonic scoffs, being fed up with Blaze’s attitude, and says,“Oh yeah? Watch this~” and opens a Warp Ring Portal to hop through.
Blaze is awestruck and confused by this revelation, looking around to find Sonic and yells, “What the-! W-Where are you?!” until she hears Sonic’s voice from behind her, as he jokes, “Hey, who’s that behind you?”
Blaze turns around to find that Sonic warped behind her as he gives her a cheeky grin and wave. Blaze gives out a yelp in shock as she jets high upwards with fire coming from her feet, and grabbing onto one of the chandeliers
Blaze yells, “WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!?!?!” as she clutches to the chandelier to hang on.
Sonic stares up at Blaze in amazement and says, “Wooooooooah! You DO have fire powers!!!”
Blaze realizes she’s just revealed the powers she feels so ashamed of, and mutters, “I-.....Shit…..” as she hovers down to the ground with fire below her feet, telling Sonic “You ... you weren't supposed to see that! No one is supposed to- wait. How did you suspect I could do this?”
Sonic explains, “Because. I have lightning powers!” as he snaps his fingers with a small static shock flaring up, elaborating, “I figured you had some kind of elemental power like me if you were my AU counterpart!”
Blaze cries, “Please! This isn’t a power, it’s a curse! All they do is cause destruction!...... It’s why they’re called, “The Flames of Disaster”.”
Sonic tells Blaze, “That’s horrible!” while she just blurts at Sonic, “Well it’s true!” in an ashamed and sorrowful tone, as she crosses her arms and looks away
Sonic tells her, “Blaze, like it or not, these powers are a part of you. And no one should be ashamed of something that’s a part of them…”
Blaze tries to vaguely warn Sonic, telling him “You don’t know the kind of misery these flames have caused.”
Sonic still tries to get through to her despite the risk she imposes, telling Blaze, “I don’t…. But I want to help! I want you to be able to control your flames, so whatever pain you went through or even caused never happens again! To use them for good!”
Blaze scoffs and asks, “Is this just some kind of sad, pathetic attempt to be around the great Soleanna Royal Family?”
Sonic starts to become fed up with Blaze’s attitude, and blurts, “No! I want to help you, dammit! I know you have an ego bigger than the Master Emerald, but I genuinely want to help you! Just let me try!”
Blaze, still trying to keep Sonic away for his own protection, gives a deathly and cold scowl, telling him “......Who says that same pain won’t happen to you……”
But, unaffected by Blaze’s threat, Sonic still wants to help, and tells Blaze, “.......That’s a risk I’m willing to take.” as he reaches his hand out for her.
She gives him a confused and perplexed stare, but she thinks to herself, If he can really help… I can at least try. Besides, if he ends up getting himself hurt and wants nothing to do with me anymore, no big deal! He’s just a commoner. I’m… Not going to get close to him anyway.
Blaze grabs some of his fingers, not wanting to hold his hand, and shakes on it. Sighing and telling Sonic, “Fine. I guess it wouldn’t hurt. Though I still think you’re a pathetic loser.”
Sonic is eager and glad to work with Blaze, proclaims, “That’s the spirit! And don’t worry. I grow on you over time.” as an unconvinced Blaze remarks “I doubt that A LOT.”
Sonic realizes that his family must be worried about him going missing after Surge jumped him, and tells Blaze, “Let me just go back to my dimension and inform my friends what’s going on.”
Back in the Chaos Dimension at Sonic’s place, his family arrives to the scene, finding Amy using her Fortune Cards to cope, and find a way to possibly track him with its guidance
As Tails and Knuckles arrive, Knuckles notices Amy bringing out the biggest card loadout she can when doing a reading, as she does when she’s at her most anxious, and goes to comfort her, asking, “Amy, are you okay? What in the Green Hill happened here?”
Amy anxiously replies, “I don’t know! I was out getting coffee and came back to this! I never should’ve left, it’s all my fault!...... I should’ve been there to protect him…..”
Tails assures her, “We’ll find him Amy. I know we will. Judging from the holes in the wall, someone tried to attack him. And I can’t track his energy signature anywhere on the planet! So whoever, or whatever tried to attack him, must be able to use Warp Rings!”
Shadow uses Chaos Control to warp to the scene, and Velo speeds in as well
Shadow asks, “Is Sonic okay?”, with Velo asking and threatening, “Who wants my bro obliterated, and when can I kick their ass?” as she cracks her knuckles.
As the gang all look around to find some kind of clue, Sonic comes through a Warp Ring, much to the surprise and relief of everyone
Sonic breezily says, “Hey guys!” as Amy rushes to Sonic and hugs him, crying, “Sonic! Thank Gaia you’re okay!!!”
Knuckles asks, “Sonic! What happened here?!” as he explains “A green tenrec named Surge came in guns blazing saying I’m responsible for her losing her memory, destroying her home, and ruining her life. Then she sent me to a parallel universe called the Sol Dimension!”
Tails blurts, “What?!” with Sonic shrugging and shaking his head, replying, “Yeah, I don’t know either!
Amy notices that Surge’s story has clear holes in it, and ponders, “But, how would she remember that, but nothing else?”
Sonic begins to theorize, elaborating, “Don’t know. But something tells me an eggheaded mad doctor is involved.”
Sonia mutters, “Ah. Eggman.” as Sonic snaps his fingers and says, “Bingo, sis! I also met my alternate universe self; A princess named Blaze. I’m working to help her control her fire powers. She’s more of the uptight and classist kind of princess than the Disney variety, but…. I sense a good heart in her.”
Shadow remembers the Eggman raid on the GUN base, and says, “Sonic, there’s something about all this you should know.”
Sonic asks “What is it?”, with Shadow explaining, “Robotnik’s been missing for months. His last known attack was on a GUN base that contained two super powered Mobians. Their names were Kitsunami…. And Surge.”
Sonic is shocked to hear of this, blurting, “Wait, what?!” as Shadow elaborates “All that’s known about the two is their names, and their abilities. Kitsunami has Hydrokinesis, and Surge has all the powers you do. Hyper Energy, Chaos Energy, Trezodian Royal Blood, your speed, the works. We shouldn’t take her lightly. She could be even more dangerous than Robotnik!”
Sonic is curious to the source of Surge and her powers, pondering, “I-... I knew she was powerful… but all the abilities I have?!.... Although, I don’t think she’s bad at heart.”
Shadow is confused by Sonic’s statement and overly trusting nature, asking, “What?! She just tried to kill you!”
Sonic explains the specifics of Surge’s statement, saying, “She said that a super powered hedgehog was the cause of all her pain. It’s not exact enough for her to know who I am, but just vague enough to work in Eggman’s favor. Something’s up.”
Shadow begins to agree, though still cautious of Surge’s true nature, telling Sonic, “You may be right. But if worst comes to worst….. You might have to do something drastic….”
Sonic replies, “It won’t come to that!” not wanting to kill Surge under any circumstance, with Shadow saying, “I very much hope so.”, also reluctant to kill someone that might be going through the same grief and heartbreak he went through.
Sonic announces, “Alright, gang. Let’s get going, and start planning how to stop Egghead.”
Sonic and the gang go through a Warp Ring portal to the Sol Dimension and back to Soleanna Palace
Blaze, uninterested and inconvenienced by the crowd Sonic brought, sarcastically remarks, “Oh, great. You brought company…”
Sonic blurts, “Yup!” and beings to introduce Blaze to everyone, telling Blaze “This is my brother from another scientist, Shadow, my longtime friend, Velo, my siblings, Sonia and Manic, my lil bro Tails, my tougher than leather bro, Knuckles, and my mystic girlfriend, Amy. Now we’ll start training tomorrow, I’m spent. You mind showing us where the guest rooms are?”
Blaze, not wanting to bring a bunch of commoners into her home, mutters, “Yeahhhh, the royal family doesn’t give out guest rooms to common street rats, like the lot of you.”
Sonic argues, “Uh, did you forget I’m ALSO, royalty? So I have a say in this too!”, as Blaze stands her ground, yelling “That is not how this works, you pig headed perv!”
Shadow interrupts and sides with Sonic, saying “We ARE helping you, y’know!”
Blaze, not wanting to argue any further, reluctantly agrees to give Sonic and his friends their own guest rooms, groaning and muttering, “Fine. They can have their own rooms. I’ll lead the way.”
After Blaze has taken everyone but Sonic to their rooms, Blaze finally gets to Sonic’s room, telling Sonic, “Here’s your room, hedgehog. Now, good night.”
Along the way Sonic has noticed only portraits of Blaze, with none of her parents in sight. Sonic asks, “Wait, are you the ruler of this kingdom? Cuz you’re a princess, but I don’t see your parents anywhere.”
Blaze aggravatedly replies, “I’d rather NOT discuss my family matters to a mere peasant I just met an hour ago, but yes. I’m the ruler of Soleanna.”
Sonic also notices Blaze’s blank and stoic expression in the portraits, following up saying, “You don’t look very…… happy, in these photos.”
Blaze explains, “We’re not supposed to be. We’re royalty.”, saddening Sonic as he starts to put the pieces together on why Blaze has been the way she is, replying “Being royalty is no reason not to be happy.”
Blaze explains “I’m not NOT happy. I’ve got everything I could ever ask for~”
Sonic questions Blaze’s honesty to herself, asking, “Such as?”
Blaze tells Sonic, “Money and power. That’s more than enough~”, clearly putting on a happy face. At least that’s what Sonic believes; as he tries to explain, “Blaze, that ISN’T enough. I know a guy with both, and since an….. Incident, 8 years back…. I’ve never seen him truly happy since. Are you REALLY satisfied with your life?”
Blaze becomes fed up with Sonic questioning her nature, telling him, “Of course I am! Besides, what would YOU know about me?!”
Sonic sighs, and vaguely explains his sense of kinship with Blaze, telling her “A lot more than you’d think…..” as he begins to walk out, but stops to tell Blaze one more thing.
Sonic tells her, “You know…. I see a lot of myself in you Blaze.”
Blaze questions, “How? We’re nothing alike!”, as Sonic gives a bittersweet yet hopeful smile lightly replying, “Exactly…..”
