Your Royal Highness,

It is heavy heart that I must apologize for not being born in the Sol Dimension, nor finding means to get there before your current arch-nemesis. Despite his "advanced" weaponry, it has become clear to me that he cannot utilize it properly and thus has never given you a proper challenge, nor given you a chance to grow.

My time spent in your world has led me to realize how challenging and unique it would have been to take on the task of conquering it. Its gorgeous beaches would have made a perfect vacation home for my family as we take over the world.

I must also apologize for the burden of being intrinsically linked with our world's most annoying burrowing animal. You did not deserve to be associated in any matter with Sonic the Hedgehog, and yet you are anyway. I must repeat what I've already stated before— From your elegant flames to your regal demeanor, you are better than Sonic in every way. Do not let his friendship corrupt you.

I am looking forward to our battle. I hope this letter serves as good evidence that I am indeed keeping to our deal, and leaves me in high standing with you.

Doctor Ivo Robotnik.

   Though they had made their little agreement, Blaze had yet to consider the fact that she might be one of the recipients of Eggman's 'apology' letters. She was already expecting some sort of foolish drivel from the walking definition of hubris. Little did she know, this letter would well-exceed her expectations.

   With a small motion of a clawed finger, and another motion to don a pair of reading glasses (a very little-known detail about her), she quickly found her face scrunching slightly with contempt. Contempt, disgust, scorn, odium, and various other words that weren't fitting of a princess.

   Oh, you WOULD pull some nonsense like this.

   Were Blaze any less hateful toward her own universe's Eggman counterpart, she would already consider writing him a thank you letter merely for not being like this. Maybe her own Eggman was on to something with his extreme vitriol towards his counterpart.

   Despite her detestation towards the dastardly Doctor, she couldn't help but be mildly amused by his apology on behalf of Sonic's existence. Again, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of pride over being considered better by none other than Sonic's own arch-nemesis, though it'd be a cold day in her veins before she'd be willing to give Eggman that satisfaction. She couldn't help but also subconsciously nod at Eggman's suggestion of not letting Sonic corrupt her demeanor.

   Needless to say, the letter quickly found itself up in flames after she had finished her begrudging reading of it. Sure, high standing. High standing over the edge of a volcano, perhaps. Hopefully, Sonic and his friends don't have t—

   ...Ah. Right.

   "I have made a horrible mistake."

   By all means, it was easy to say that even considering the offer was an awful idea. On the other hand… One simple, planned-out battle in exchange for the Doctor backing away for a total of two weeks? Sonic and friends would most likely appreciate it, considering this headache of a man generally shows up on a daily basis. Chances are they’d even praise her! Not that she wanted it or anything. You’d have to be truly out of your mind to assume that.

   She definitely mulled over the Sonic costume and pink mustache, the amusement she felt not quite matching the daggers she’d been shooting through her eyes. Perhaps some heels to go with that look? She certainly knows Sonic would give absolutely anything to see that. Unfortunately for Sonic however, Blaze was a practical feline.

   “Two weeks is… acceptable. However, I expect there will be no preparing for your return during this time.” On one hand, she knew he wouldn’t hold up to that rule completely. But on the other hand, she also knew his own ego was too strong to be blatant about it, were he to make the agreement. “AND, I expect your two weeks to come first.”

   “You’ll also be writing those apology letters. Several paragraphs each. Hand-written. On parchment. With your best penmanship, Doctor.”

“ Two weeks and apology letters, eh…? ” Eggman grumbled. While he was thankful it wasn’t anything more humiliating, he couldn’t help but feel a tad disappointed. He was a boisterous man - So wearing the Sonic suit wouldn’t have been as miserable as many would assume. In fact, he’s done it before. But even if it wasn’t the suit, he would’ve been fine with anything that didn’t trap him in the giant steel building of his making.

Blaze really was that lame to pick something off of his carelessly listed… list. Eggman was then reminded that this was why he was here. No annoying insults, no absurd requests. So forgive him from being unable to hold back that light chuckle at her poignant tone, it drew him back to his original thesis: Blaze was better than Sonic in every way.

“ Hoho! Two weeks it is, my dear princess. ” Those two weeks would be nothing for the great Doctor Robotnik - He was certain he wasn’t going to miss them. He offers the Princess his own hand, ready to seal the deal. He was a little surprised this didn’t take longer, actually. “ You just better make it worth the wait! How I’ve missed your fireworks. Consider me anxious to get started. ”

He doesn’t even wait for her to return to gesture, snatching up and shaking her hand with half of his force. Oh yes. He’ll see you in two weeks, Blaze. Get ready to be schooled.

If Doctor Eggman could hold her attention for even a minute, he would consider it a good-enough victory. Luckily, the animals were very readable creatures. So even if they frowned and snarled and hissed, as long as he knew where to look, he’d always have an edge. Unfortunately, that edge was worthless when you were just pathetically picking a fight. And so, the flick of a tail only gets the smallest smirk.  

… Logically Challenged? He could let the snide comment slide for the fact it was followed up by a bargain. The Doctor paused, clearly caught off guard for a moment. Eggman wasn’t entirely sure what he could offer this private pyromaniac, but he wasn’t about to back down either.

“ At worst? I could offer my world two weeks of peace. Absolutely nothing. ” The Doctor was really grasping for straws on this one, as silence continued for a better offer. Hm. “ At decent. I … I guess I could write Sonic apology letters? ” Gaia, strike him down. He really is desperate. “ Wear a Sonic costume for a month? Dye my mustache pink? I don’t know what you’d want from me. ”

@soldimensional​​ from here.

“ Oh humor me, your ROYAL highness! You haven’t even given me a chance to speak my piece! ” Eggman barked. Bah! Every time he tries to socialize reasonably, it starts like this. With some distress, Eggman tugged at his mustache as the alien princess stared up at him. Shadow, Crumbles and Sonic were all allowed their friendly battles with each other, so what made Eggman so different? Perhaps its time he stop trying to interact with socially estranged teenagers…

Hiding the quick grimace at the comment of Cream; still eager to hold onto the bits of the conversation left, he continued. “ Haven’t you even the slightest curiosity? I don’t go out of my way this often! ”

Straightening his position and pressing down his jacket, Doctor Eggman released a huff as he salvaged his composure. For as regal and put together as she appeared, it was quick to forget she was just another rodent in a fresh coat of paint. But unlike his own rodent, she didn’t push him to pray for death every time she spoke.

“ If you would like to know, it is because I find your abilities superior to Sonic. ” What he would GIVE to trade places with a certain egg-shaped negative … He might have more fun in the Sol Dimension. “ Seeking the Sol Emeralds was the best thing I could have ever done! Do you know how exhilarating it was to battle you? ” 

Do you see now, cat? It’s NOT just out of boredom. “ But given that you won’t show your face unless the world is ending, and I not being very keen on interacting with that weirdo, this was my best bet to challenge you again. ”

[soldimensional]

   Oh, how she wanted to kick him into orbit like the good ol’ days. The good ol’ days when Blaze didn’t have to worry about frivolous things such as having to repair the horrific amounts of damage she just did to her social life, or having this annoying Eggman Nega recolor begging and pleading for just a tiny crumb of fight. Seriously, why is this one so loud?

   Despite every fiber of her being wishing to incinerate this ugly cranberry from the face of the earth, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pride at his statement. Call her petty, but even after all this time, hearing someone say that her own skill was notably superior to Sonic’s hit a loooong-running itch like nobody’s business. Her tail couldn’t help but release the tiniest twitch in response. Yeah, that sense of pride never really went away. It only took a back seat.

   Regardless, an Eggman was an Eggman, whether it involved the hideous bumblebee-esque shoes and jacket or not. Surely, he wasn’t dense enough to think Blaze would just... beat him up... with seemingly no gain on his part...? 

Okay Sonic, you’re going to have to explain what’s utterly and spectacularly wrong with this man.

   “Surely, even someone as logically-challenged as you, may be able to see where this stands one-sided. What manner of completely empty garbage do you have to put on the table here?”

[soldimensional]

" Hey, kitty cat. Wanna tussle again? No space-time threat, just some friendly competition! " ... Okay.

   Oh, yeah, sure, this may as well happen. She visits Sonic's dimension after WHO KNOWS HOW LONG, only to be hurled into the third most embarrassing moment of her life. And now, here comes Captain Egotist in his stupid little floating teacup trying to challenge Blaze to, what, a few rounds in the ring? Some gentlemanly fisticuffs?

   Were she less dignified, this would be the part where she threatens to stick her high heel SO FAR UP Eggman's Doomsday Zone that he'll need to design his next machine without seats. Instead, she opted for what was quite likely the worse option.

   "What, is Sonic too busy to dismantle your toys today? Perhaps you might prefer to take another chance with someone else that's given you the boot. Knuckles, perhaps? Tails? Amy? I’ve even heard Cream has had a turn breaking your worthless machines."

[soldimensional]

   “...Nobody tell her about me.”

[soldimensional]

   “So, would I have an alternate out there, or am I simply an alternate full-stop? Or would I have an alternate of an alternate? Or are Sonic’s alternates MY alternates by proxy? And why are none of them cats—”

   “I want to go back to 2005.”

[imposturge]

“ HAS NOBODY BEEN LISTENIN’ TO ME ??ALL OF YOU ARE WRONG,I’M TH’ BEST !! IF THERE’S A LIST THEN I’M AT THE TOP !! ”

“ HELLOOOO ??? ” Surge, sit down.

[soldimensional]

   “...”

   “My apologies, I just noticed you here. Are you the new court jester?”

[soldimensional]

masterprotector​:

     “Well, Metal Sonic holds the top spot for sure. Dude’s persistent, dude’s tough. That is the Sonic copycat right there. Hate Eggman, hate his guts, but he really struck gold on that one. 

     Then there’s Mecha Sonic for… personal reasons.It was one of the few version of Sonic’s metallic replicas to genuinely achieve a super state, so that’s some big bonus points too. Its survivability is also nothing to sneeze at. Honestly, I’d say Mecha Sonic would beat out Metal Sonic if it wasn’t for the latter’s multiple transformations. The guy has a lot he can become when undergoing fitting energy sources. Neo Metal Sonic is a real, proper threat, and it’s what’s keeping him the top spot for now.

     Third is the Baja Blast Sonic   Scourge. Since he’s the Zone-alternate of Sonic, his skills are genuinely on-par with Sonic, even capable of surpassing True Blue if the circumstances are correct. Usually it’s with the help of home-field advantages, but a win’s a win, y’know? 

     Main downside is that his Zone’s alternate to Chaos Emeralds are absolutely garbage. Sonic’s acceptance of different types of energy is what keeps him so malleable and capable. Adaptability in the face of different opponents is a genuine factor, but Scourge has that ‘hit it until it stops moving’ mentality. Hurts the strategical mind a bit, needs to learn how to think out of the box, and it’s what finds him laid out more than less.

     He has put a surprising amount of thought into this.It must have been really, particularly, mind-numbingly boring on Angel Island as of late.

   “Oh, please.” Uh oh Knuckles, that was not the answer she wanted to hear. “Not that I’m actively trying to take Sonic’s place, but the fact that you wouldn’t have ME in a high placement seems inaccurate, speaking as Sonic’s, ahem, counterpart.” 

Oh boy, her pride has fully overtaken her social ineptitudes.

   “I’ll have you know, that I have managed to defeat many of the same threats that Sonic has, completely on my own. And that’s not to even begin on our own Eggman being significantly ahead of the curve, despite his shortcomings in regards to being an intimidating force.

   “Therefore, I strongly suggest that I take Surge’s place on your list, if not Mecha Sonic.” She’s not going to bother with Scourge’s spot. That wash-up NEEDS the emotional boost of being in that spot.

[soldimensional]

   “Who are the other three?”

[soldimensional]

   She’s just. Trying not to be seen during ANY of this situation right now.

[heartlop]

❛ ❀ @soldimensional​​:  “Oh no…” A mix of an annoyed groan and a horrified expression. “Cream… please, PLEASE tell me that you haven’t been watching this the entire time.”

     Uh oh — she’s immediately jumping to action with a shake of her head, Cheese mimicking the same action alongside her.

     “I was! But if it helps, I can pretend that I didn’t..!” She lifts those comically large ears of hers and places them over her eyes. “I saw nothing, Miss Blaze.”

[soldimensional]

   Ah yes, the actual 8-year-old child was here to spare the grown woman’s feelings. Under most circumstances this would be too embarrassing to EVER live down. But, considering her friend circle consisted mostly of two children and her own parallel universe counterpart...

   “...Yes, thank you, Cream. I think it would be best if we pretended this never happened.”

[soldimensional]

gasp!!! is that... cool cat from the hit movie cool cat saves the kids, directed and written by derek savage?!?! can i have your autograph??!?!

No Vetra, we're not doing this.
