"Sonic and the Mystic Mage"



Chapter 29



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Kamura, Japan*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It is already 6:15 in the evening at the game arcade, and people from the city are either coming in or out of the arcade. There is also some Arabic/electronica music playing as well.

Entering inside, we see Sonic, Knuckles, Amy and Rouge waiting for Miia to change into her new outfit in the restroom. Sonic and Knuckles are in their usual attire, while Amy and Rouge are wearing entirely different outfits; Amy wears pink wrist bands with a white stripe in the middle, a white-pink camisole, dark pink Bermuda shorts with pink rhinestones shaped into a heart on each pocket, and wears pink and white-striped sneakers with gray soles.

Rouge, on the other hand, is wearing white gloves with a yellow wrist band and has peaks extending to her elbows, a black sports bra, black workout flare pants with white hibiscus patterns at the ankles, and wears white sneakers with light gray soles and a pink square at the toe area.

"How long do you think she is going to be in here?" Knuckles asked Sonic.

"She said it's a surprise," replied Sonic. "So we have to wait."

Rouge crossed her arms and frowned slightly. "And who's fault is that that we are 15 minutes late for this rave?"

"Just relax, Rouge," said Sonic. "It's not like we're missing out on something."

Just the door opened and everyone gasped at Miia's new outfit when she came out of the restroom. She is wearing a black short-sleeved off-the-shoulder shirt with hot pink plaid straps with a few holes on each sleeve (the shirt has a sparkly gray-and-pink rose tee), a pleated pink and black plaid miniskirt with black petticoat, sparkly pink fishnet tights, and black leather knee-high high-heel boots. Strangely enough (to Sonic), Miia isn't wearing any make-up and her hairstyle remains the same. She is holding her black and pink purse as well.

"How do I look?" she asked, smiling a little.

Sonic let out a cat purr. "Mystic hot."

Knuckles growled a little at Sonic's comment.

"You're too kind," replied Miia.

"Hey, glad you guys can make it!" a voice said.

Sonic, Rouge, Knuckles and Amy turned and see Sei, Hiryu and Karin in their raver outfits; Sei wears a gray short-sleeved shirt with the word "Abercrombie" sewn onto it, wears denim black skinny jeans and black speed lace shoes. Hiryu wears a light gray short-sleeved shirt with a darker gray tee with the words "Old Navy", wears a lighter gray cargo shorts and wears Nike shoes. Karin wears a gray camisole and wears blue denim boot-cut jeans and wears white Danskin shoes. The three are wearing different-colored glow-in-the-dark bracelets and necklaces.

"You look so awesome in that outfit, Miia!" said Karin. "But where's your glow-stick?"

Miia reached in her purse and got out her green and purple glow-sticks and bent the green one first, then the purple one to turn them on. "They're right here, see?" she replied to Karin's question.

"Ah. Makes more sense," Karin said understandably.

"We already have a table reserved for you," Sei said to the group.

"Really? Thanks," said Miia as her human friends turned the other way and walked off, and as Miia, Sonic, Amy, Knuckles and Rouge followed them (as best they could for the rave party is very crowded).

While they are walking through the crowd, Sonic asked Miia, "If this is the game arcade, then why did Sei say...?"

"This place was originally a night club fifteen years back," Miia explained. "But then the person who owned the place decided to add a game arcade here, then decided to hold raves and such, but also decided to prohibit designer drug usage her and replaced them all with club sodas and side dishes."

"We're here!" Karin announced.

The group glanced at a circular table, and surrounding most of it, is a wide leather maroon armless night club seat. "It looks pretty awesome," said Miia. "Thank you guys so much for reserving it for us."

"You're welcome," Hiryu replied.

Karin was the first to take a seat on one side, then Sei, then Hiryu; Sonic, Miia, Amy, Knuckles and Rouge sat on the other.

"You guys mind if I take a picture of us together?" Miia asked the group.

"No way," replied Karin. "How about you take a picture of me, Sei, Hiryu, and you?"

"That we'll do firstly, next will be Sonic and his pals, right?"

"Right!"

"Cool!"

"I'm okay with it."

"Count me in!" Amy, Sonic, Knuckles and Rouge say all at once.

Miia then reached in her purse for her iPhone to take the picture, but couldn't find it, so she fug deeper in her purse, but it was nowhere to be found. "Now that's just weird," she said.

"Why, what's weird?" Hiryu asked.

"My iPhone," replied Miia as she began searching through all of the pockets on her purse. "I know it's around here somewhere..."

"Maybe you left it at home?" asked Knuckles.

"No, I'm sure I brought it with me," Miia objected.

"Maybe you just thought you did," said Sonic.

"I don't think, Sonic," Miia objected again. "I know, and you know, 'cause I said I have my iPhone in my purse--" Miia stopped and narrowed her eyes towards Sonic, who suspiciously has his left hand behind his hand and his right behind his back. "Sonic, what's behind your back?"

"Nothing," Sonic answered innocently.

"I said what's behind you're back?" Miia asked again, more sternly.

"I told you, nothing," Sonic answered again, with himself smirking uncontrollably.

Because of her psychic magic, Miia could tell that he is lying. "You have my iPhone, don't you?" she asked, narrowing her eyes even more.

In the blink of an eye, Sonic disappeared from the table. A little angered, Miia quickly got up and chased after Sonic (as well as she could, because the dancefloor was very crowded). "Sonic, stop!" she yelled. "Gimme back my iPhone!"

Miia twisted and turned swiftly, yet gracefully, through the crowd, just feet away from Sonic, who she thinks he is the one who nabbed her iPhone from her purse.

With a variety of twists and turns through the crowd, Miia is gaining on to Sonic, but only slowly. Several times, Miia kept on calling out to Sonic, ranging from "Sonic, you come back here!" to "Gimme back my iPhone!" to "Sonic, give it back!"

By the time Sonic arrived back at their friends' table, Miia tackled Sonic (though Sonic still kept a firm grip on Miia's iPhone) and wrestled with him and kept reaching out for her iPhone. Luckily, she got hold of it and yanked it out of Sonic's hand. "Aha! Got it!" she declared, then managed to quickly put her iPhone on the table.

Just then, Miia managed to roll on her back a few feet from the table, with Sonic tight in her arms. Instantly, Miia put her arms to the ground, elbows extending out, hands above her head, panting.

Sonic was breathing heavily as well, when he was remotely sitting on Miia's belly. "Man, she's even tougher than Amy when she gives me a death hug!"

"I don't give anybody death hugs, you know," Amy objected.

"Well, there's Sonic," said Knuckles.

Though Amy knew that she couldn't even argue anymore, she just simply kept her mouth shut.

Miia managed to sit upright (Sonic nearly got out of the way), but giggled for a few seconds because Sonic's tail accidentally pricked her belly. "Sonic, please don't," she said, still holding back the giggles. "I-I'm ticklish, okay?"

Sonic turned his head towards Miia, eyes narrowed, smirking evilly and replied, "Ohhhh, you are, are you??"

The next thing Miia knew, Sonic quickly began tickling her belly and she burst out laughing in a fraction of a second. Then she was laughing so much that she fell to the ground, though Sonic still continued tickling her (imagine having a tickle fight at a public place! Do you think you could manage it?) and laughing along with her. "No, stop!" Miia was shrieking. "Just stop!" Though despite this, Sonic still continued tickling her. Several times before, Miia rolled to her side, then the other, with Sonic still tickling her.

Awhile, Miia and Sonic's friends are witnessing this particular tickle attack. Sei, for one, was a little disgusted: Ohhh, someone shoot me now, he thought.

Karin was cooing like mad, "Aww, they're having a tickle fight! That's so cute!" (But in a public place like this? she thought.)

Hiryu and Rouge could only stare upon the two, eyes widened paralyzed in puzzlement and disgust.

Amy was growling for a lengthy period of time; she wished that she and Sonic would have a tickle fight with each other, but somewhere in private.

Knuckles was growling also, but then shouted at the tickler and the tickle-ee (Sonic and Miia, in particular), "(Oh, puh-lease) get a room, you two!"

Sonic stopped tickling (though Miia is still laughing), looked up to Knuckles and asked, jokingly, with a smirk, "Who asked you to watch, Knuckles?"

"We all are watching you, Sonic," replied Knuckles. "Having a tickle fight with Miia (in a public place like this)."

Sonic looked to Miia, who was panting and smiling at the same time from laughing so hard, and she is trying her best to recover from her laughter, though she still has a few giggles inside her.

"Just don't do or say anything," Sei warned the group. "Or else she will never stop laughing."

Soon the group stayed quiet, and sat perfectly still like Sei had instructed. This seems the perfect time for Sonic to slowly get off of Miia so that she could get up. Soon Miia sat herself up, fully recovered from her laughing, put her (right) hand on the table (Sonic then held her left hand) and propped herself up. She then let go of Sonic's hand to get a little hair out of her face.

"You sure you're alright?" asked Hiryu. "Still got any giggles left inside you?"

"Yeah, I think I'm fine, thanks," Miia breathed a reply.

Just then an electronic fanfare occurred on the speakers. Miia then took her iPhone off the table and stared at it. I'll try taking a picture later, she thought.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the M.C. said over the speakers. "Welcome all Dance Dance Revolution lovers-slash-players to the Saudi Arabia-themed Dance Dance Revolution Raver's Banquet! As we all know... well, we're sure you're every excited for the upcoming DDR contest!"

Immediately, the crowd cheered wildy. While they were cheering (and the M.C. was speaking), Miia quickly put he iPhone in her purse.

Karin noticed this and asked her, "Hey, Miia, aren't you going to take a picture?"

Miia looked straight at her best friend, then looked at her purse, then back to her, offering her iPhone, "Here, why don't you take a picture instead?"

Karin took Miia's iPhone from her and asked, "Why?"

"Well, let's just say that I am joining a competition," she replied with a confident smile. Then she left the table  and walked her way through the crowd.

"The first event to start off," the M.C. was saying. "Is a raqs-sharqi-themed Dance Dance Revolution competition to see who is the true raqs-sharqi dancer! And the great DDR player as well. So please, if you wish to compete, then please go to one of the dance pads shown on the stage!"

At last Miia made her way through the cheering and chattering crowd, climbed the stairs to the frontal area of the stage and stood on the first dance mat. The dance mat indicates blue arrows that go left and right, red arrows that go down and up.

Miia looked to her left, then to her right. It looks like the people who wished to compete are already on stage. She then took a deep breath, then let it out and stood still, confident and strong.

"No more competitors?" the M.C. came up over the speakers. After a brief moment, the M.C. said, "All right. Now let the competition begin! Competitors ready? Get yourselves all flexible and ready to groove..."

A moment later, the selected electronica/Arabian-mixed song began and behind the screen, color-changing arrows begin to appear rapidly, and soon, the competitors (including Miia) began stepping on the arrows randomly, but at the right timing to upcoming beats and vocals (the rest of the competitors are wearing flat shoes; for Miia, who is wearing wide high heels, though finds no trouble getting the steps).

Behind the cheering crowd, Karin looked at Miia's iPhone, then figured she wouldn't be able to get a good shot at Miia dancing on the stage, so she has an idea. "Um, Miss Rouge?"

"Yes, hon?" Rouge answered.

Karin managed to reach over the table and gave Rouge Miia's iPhone, "Why don't you take a picture of Miia, since you're the one who could fly and all... I couldn't get a good shot of her, so I figured..."

"Done and done, honey," said Rouge as she took the iPhone. Then she flapped her wings and flew as high as possible above crowd without being noticed, touched the camera app on the touch screen, then held the iPhone in front her to where Miia is and then took a few pictures her.

Below, even though Miia could read Rouge's aura, she took no notice of Rouge hovering in the air, and continued to dance and, from her perspective, become enveloped in the electronica/Arabian-mixed music.

Rouge flew back to her friends' table and landed softly and gracefully back in her seating spot. "I got a good shot," she said. "No need to worry, I already figured out how to take pictures on Miia's iPhone."

At least they don't know that Rouge can predict the future, Sonic thought.

Amy sensed that surface thought and mentally said to Sonic, What are you talking about??

It's nothing, Sonic replied mentally.

"I'm actually quite impressed with her movement," Knuckles said in awe. "Even though she wears high heels, she is actually good."

"Well, you can say that Miia is actually good," replied Sei. "She has been experimenting and practicing on high heels for at least four years."

"Seriously?" said Sonic. Then he glanced to the front stage and studied Miia (as best as he could, because the dance floor is somewhat crowded) playing and dancing at the same time. She really is(!)

Onstage, Miia is matching the timing of her steps on the dance pad and listening to the song at the same time; though she is trying her best to keep her pace.


*♪Ev'rybody's in the house◊●☺☻☼♠⌂♣□♥▫♦◊●☺☻☼♠⌂♣□♥▫♦♪*
                                        

All right, I'm now in full swing, Miia thought. Though I need to get my pacing and timing right, or else I will not get as many combos as possible in order to get a high score and the highest ranking possible.


*♪Ev'rybody's in the house◊●☺☻☼♠⌂♣□♥▫♦◊●☺☻☼♠⌂♣□♥▫♦♪*


Miia could see the crowd cheering loudly. She even wondered if her friends are cheering for her as well.


*♪◊●☺☻☼♠⌂♣□♥▫♦◊●☺☻☼♠⌂♣□♥▫♦Yeah! Listen to the Chicka-chicka boom boom

Though to Miia, it doesn't actually matter if any of her friends have been cheering for her or not; what matters to her is that she is being cheered on and she wants to continue until the song ends.

"Whooo! Go Miia! You can do it! Get that high score!" a voice said from behind the crowd.

"Huh?" Miia narrowed her eyes towards behind the crowd and could see a blue distorted figure jumping up and down and waving arms. But she knew if she looked more closely, she would lose points, so she ignored it and continued to match her steps with the beats given out.


*♪Hey ev'rybody, listen to the song

"Cross your fingers, guys," Karin said to the group. "Let's just hope that Miia would win this competition!"

"I already cheered her on, but I'm not too sure if she heard it," said Sonic.

Karin stared at Sonic with a blank face briefly. "Or... in a pinch, we could cheer her on... [sweat drop]" she laughed nervously.

Miia is beginning to feel tired with all this fast footwork, but she forced herself until the song ends. Soon, to close to the end of the song, the first then second instrument was dropped out leaving only three instruments remaining, which saved the strain of the very rapid footwork on the dance mat. While the song is starting to slow down, Miia thought, How 'bout adding some smooth, raqs-sharqi arm motion??

While trying to keep her pace, Miia slowly waved her arms sideways, then to the front, then sideways again, until by the time the song gets to low speed (and stepping on the last two arrows prolongingly), she puts herself into a diving position (despite her slight exhaustion), and the song ended as that.


~*~*~*~*~*Tails' House 4 Hours Later*~*~*~*~*~

Blaze is in her bedroom playing with her pet white kitten (though she has adopted the kitten, she hasn't given her a name yet) with a strand of hot pink yarn. Repeatedly, the kitten batted at the end of the yarn each time Blaze wiggled it. She had been a little happier because of the kitten, but she was always lonely without Silver, almost as if she is developing a little crush on him.

Just then, Blaze heard a tapping sound on her bedroom window. She got up from her bed, leaving the yarn on the floor so that her pet kitten would roll around and fiddle with it at the same time.

Blaze open her magenta curtains, which revealed an  Earth nightingale with a large piece of rolled paper around its neck. Silver has a knack for birds, Blaze thought. So I can guess that he sent this bird here, probably with a message from him. Maybe this message indicates that he is alive!

Blaze then unlocked her window so that she could open it (the nightingale hovered from the sill for a brief second) and gestured the nightingale to come in and perch on her index finger. "You're from Silver, right?"

The nightingale chirped, "(Yep, I am from Silver all right. Plus he has a message for you, but I'm sure you already know that.)*" The nightingale then ruffled its feathers to cut the string around its neck for the large scroll to fall off. Luckily, Blaze caught it in her other hand quickly. "Thank you," she said as she gestured the nightingale to leave her index finger and fly out into the open.

Blaze then closed the window quickly and walked back to her bed and sat on the other side of it. She then unrolled the large scroll quickly, but then suddenly became enormously heartbroken when she read, "To Blaze: YOU'RE A STUPID PYRO-FREAK OF A GIRL WHO IS ALWAYS SPOILED, GREEDY AND JEALOUS NOBODY WANTS YOU AROUND SO GO AWAY YOU STUPID BTICH!!!"†

Blaze knew that this is not true, but her eyes kept reading the same sentence over and over again, until finally, she plopped on her bed, almost brainlessly letting tears roll down her face. Blaze then felt suddenly cold inside; not because of the room temperature (even though it is summertime), but her very best friend and roommate would even dare write an extremely hurtful note to her (at least it is what she thought, but refused to accept it).

Blaze's little white kitten managed to climb onto her bed. Her kitten sniffed at Blaze's arm, then walked onto her shoulder, then to her bust and sniffed under her chin, but Blaze just her to do so. She couldn't feel any emotions anymore; she was almost like a zombie.

In her mind, Blaze kept telling herself that what she read is not even true; in fact, it is a lie. But then her negative instincts tell her that it is true (even though it isn't): Silver never actually cared about you, in fact, no one in the whole world ever did. Be honest with yourself, and hate everyone; embrace the darkness inside you.

Just then negative energy is building up inside her rapidly. Mindlessly, she got up from her bed and walked out of her bedroom.

From down the halls to the living room, all around Blaze is picth darkness. Only a little bit of her subconscious remained inside her; her subconscious kept telling her, "Wake up! Wake up!" But is is only faint inside her. The negative instincts inside her kept telling her, Embrace the darkness around you. Hate everyone who has never cared about you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon, Blaze is walking around the streets under the moonless night with only her head down; the only emotions she feels are anger, hatred, and depression.

Above, Tweedledee was standing on a skyscraper feeling the negative energy build up inside Blaze. Just a little more... she thought.

I don't want this, Blaze thought in grief. I don't want any of this.

Suddenly, clouds of dark energy begin to surround her, then begin to envelop her unitl she is in a coccoon of darkness. If I cannot have Silver... (her eyes open, glowing blood red) then no one will ever can.



T.B.C
Chapter 29!

Ooooh, sounds like Knucky here is a little jealous! =D

*The reason why I added the parentheses is that in the parentheses, this is actually the translation of what the nightingale is saying, but not telepathically like when Sonic was talking with Deedee in earlier chapters (if it were then it would have been italicized).

†This is actually a reference to a few of the troll comments I've seen, and these few were easy to both convert and translate in this chapter.

Previous: [link]
Next (Chapter 30 part 1): [link] (the thrilling conclusion for the longing-themed SilverXBlaze section! :la:

P.S. The song which was playing while Miia, Sonic and friends are chatting is "Tin Tin". As for the "first round" of the DDR competition, the song is "Chicky"; both songs are by Oojami. If you want to listen to these, then: [link] (you might want to click on the play buttons on each of these).

P.S.S Just in case you are wondering why this is under the "drama category" (it's suspense drama), it is because of Blaze turning "evil" close to the end. And in another case you guys are also wondering why there are random symbols is because, well, I've been searching all over for the actual lyrics for "Chicky" (which is supposedly in Turkish), but I found nothing. When I asked my mom when she came home from work, she answered to me that most of the lyrics are English, therefore that these bits are actually the lyrics to the song! I was pretty dumbfounded at the time, so, that's pretty much it. ^^;

Do NOT even think about reporting this; it is VERY VERY VERY unlikely you will find the actual lyrics(believe me, I've been through that recent experience)if you even think about it, then you've got another thing coming!!

Sorry if it looks crappy I tried my best! T^T
