Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Project: Blitz ❯ The Emerald Strikes Back... ( Chapter 4 )

Tails sat once more, hunched over his computer “There has to be something about Blitz somewhere.” He browsed through the government records archive until he came across the simple one word name. The name stood out from the others in the list as the words `restricted access' followed it. Not one to be deterred, Tails selected the name and was faced with a password screen. He pulled out a small box that looked like an overpowered calculator and hooked it up to the computer. Upon pressing a button, there was a series of whirring noises, and the small LCD screen flashed a set of numbers. Entering the numbers into the password box, Tails gained access to the restricted section of the database. He was disappointed to find that there was no information in the restricted section, only a reference to another database “What would Blitz have to do with the space colony ARK?”

 

Closing the screen he had open, Tails brought up another window. Three simple, white letters stood out on a dark grey background with a password entry box beneath them. Pushing a button on the small box once more, it whirred and displayed a number again, which Tails then entered into the box “Piece of cake.” Tails cracked his knuckles in a smug fashion and began to peruse this new database. There was a long list of experiments which the researchers aboard the ARK had performed and in some cases not completed, before their unfortunate fates. Tails found the high security confidential experiments, and was not surprised to find that another password was needed to access them. Once again his machine went to work and he gained access with ease. Two different experiments were displayed. The first was the `Ultimate Lifeform' project and contained two subjects: The Biolizard prototype lifeform and, of course, Shadow. The other experiment was labelled `Chaos Fusion' and had a single sub category: Project B.L.I.T.Z. “Gotcha.”

 

Tails loaded the project and was frustrated when he found that there was, once again, very little information pertaining to Blitz. The only information displayed on the page was 2 dates. The first was the date the project had commenced and the other was the date it had been completed. Unsure of what to make of the little information he had, he just jotted down the two dates on a piece of paper and shutdown the computer.

 

 

Meanwhile…

 

 

While Tails contemplated various theories about Blitz, Blitz had found his way to the Angel Island. He hadn't ever visited these parts, not ever having reason to, and so while he got some fresh air he thought he may as well explore. He wandered aimlessly for about 30 minutes before reaching a large clearing, in which stood a large stone structure, a large, bright green crystal resting atop it. Moving closer he noticed Knuckles lying in a mangled but peaceful pile at the bottom of the steps, and as such he chose to let him be, rather than wake and annoy him. Blitz traversed the steps and stood vacantly staring at the emerald, basking in its majesty “This can't be a chaos emerald can it?!?!” He reached out to touch it but a large gloved hand yanked him by the shoulder “You're right, it's not a chaos emerald. It's the master emerald.” Knuckles released Blitz and patted the emerald “You'd do well to stay away from it.” Blitz backed down the steps away from Knuckles and the gem “Chill man. It's just a big rock.” Knuckles' eyes flared and he bellowed at Blitz “THE MASTER EMERALD IS NOT JUST A ROCK!!!” Blitz scratched the back of his head “Sorry, I said anything.” Knuckles folded his arms and grunted “What do you want anyway.” “I was just wandering and thought I might have found a chaos emerald, that's all.” “Well you thought wrong, now get out of here, and stay away from my emerald.” “What about the bat?” Knuckles wheeled to see Rouge attempting to purloin the large stone “ARGH!! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM IT ROUGE!!” “Make me Knuckie” Rouge winked at Knuckles, who in turn, grew angrier and blushed “Have it your way.”

 

Knuckles rushed at Rouge and swung a powerful fist at her. Rouge dodged the cumbersome attack, and Knuckles soared past her. As he was gathering himself, Rouge turned back to the gem and tried to lift it but to no avail. She looked up to see Knuckles standing on top of the emerald “You need to lose weight, honey” Knuckles blushed once more and Rouge smiled at his embarrassment “You'll pay for that.” And they continued to fight.

 

Blitz, who was observing the scuffle from the steps, began to ascend once more, determined to see what made this emerald so great that Rouge would fight Knuckles to claim it. Rouge and Knuckles' duel (play on words, jewel - duel, smooooooooth……. coooorny…….) had by now left the confines of the altar and was taking place on the grass below, leaving Blitz open passage to the emerald. He walked towards it and reached out a hand to touch it. No sooner had he placed his palm on its surface, than a surge of energy shot through his body and he let out a loud cry, causing Rouge and Knuckles to cease fighting.

 

Blitz's quills stood out at crooked angles and smoke was rising from him, looking like he'd just been hooked into the national power grid, he grinned sheepishly “What a rush.” Knuckles and Rouge put their differences aside for the moment and ran to assist. Knuckles jumped between Blitz and the emerald and frantically began to search for damages “WHAT DID YOU DO!?!” Blitz staggered groggily towards the emerald “I just touched it.” As he neared the emerald again, energy crackled around it in arcs of lightning, much to Knuckles confusion. Abruptly, a bolt of green lightning hurtled from the Master Emerald towards Blitz, who barely dodged it. The impact of the energy with the ground sent chunks of earth skyward and left a fair sized crater in the ground. Knuckles looked from the emerald to Blitz and back to the emerald “I've never seen it do this before.”

 

Straightening his quills, Blitz kept his distance from the pulsating gem and decided that it was probably better if he took Knuckles' advice and left the emerald in peace “Even the emerald's out to get me.” And Blitz rocketed back towards the forest, but stopped on the edge, and turned around; Rouge and Knuckles had already begun fighting again. Shaking his head, he disappeared into the trees.

 

 

Me: This is just more to come up with after writing the chapter.

 

Blitz: Give over, ya whining git.

 

Me: Can't argue there.

 

Blitz: Damn straight you can't.

 

Me: You wanna get killed off?

 

Blitz: Meh.

 

Me: By Amy?

 

Blitz: *gulp* I'll be good…

 

 

P.S. I'll try and get another chapter or two out before the weekend, peace, and review, I enjoy it, and if I enjoy it, it must be good.
