The door erupted open, metal bending to the will of a torrent of furious flames. Wave after wave of Eggpawns clattered across the courtyard, aiming their comically oversized blasters at the doorway as the fireball rocketed through and smashed into a group. As the flames dissipated what was left was revealed to be a lavender Burmese who gracefully pirouetted through the air to land on the domed orange head of a Pawn and send it crashing against the ground. Every pair of cold unblinking blue eyes turned to follow her, the unflinching grins seemingly mocking her as the laserfire swarmed in her direction. Blaze moved quickly, pouncing into the air, fire igniting from her feet to grant her precious seconds. She knew that if Dr Eggman himself didn’t have a Sol Emerald he would at least have a good idea where to find one. She would get the answers she was after and some robots weren’t about to stop her. And there was her way in! A window. With a burst of fire behind her, she threw herself forward, turning about in the air to land feet first. The glass shattered as her heels impacted the wall inside. Lunging down the hallway, landing with a roll before stopping to catch her breath, the shards of the window raining against the polished floor behind her.

A panicked scream erupted from behind Blaze. Beneath a pair of red pigtails a pair of arms covered the face of a child who was now crouching in response to the flying glass.

The screams caused Blaze’s ears to perk up in a moment of surprise. Taking a moment to confirm she really had heard that right, she spun about, eyes widening at the sigh of…a child? Here? What possible reason could there be for a child running around Eggman’s base? A flush of red came to the Princess’ cheeks as she realised –why- the girl had screamed. She’d unintentionally put an innocent at risk. Chastising herself in the back of her mind, Blaze jogged over. “Are you alright?”

"Y-yeah," the girl said, unassuredly lowering her arms. "Wh-what do you think you're--" she paused, getting a good look at the feline standing before her. A sparkle seemed to come over her thick blue glasses. "Oh, wow!" she exclaimed. "You're Princess Blaze!"

That…wasn’t a reaction Blaze was used to. Being recognised back on Terra usually resulted in courteousness and bowing, not excitement…The idea she was well known on Gaia wasn’t something she thought about and it threw the Burmese for a second. Clearing her throat, the Princess gave a short nod. “I am. I’m..sorry about that. I didn’t expect-” She was cut off as laser fire struck the wall beside the two. The Egg Flappers had arrived to chase Blaze down. A gasp of shock escaped her as she instinctively moved to shield the girl, whoever she was. This fight was because of her and this child shouldn’t be here in the first place. Blaze moved to scoop the girl up into her arms and make a dash off down the hallway.

The girl gasped as she was scooped up into the arms of the feline. Learning over Blaze's shoulder, she glanced at the egg flappers giving chase down the hallway. A broad grin spread over her face. "Oh, wow, this is so cool!" wriggling in Blaze's arms, she rummaged around in one of her pockets, before fishing out a cellphone. She held it up into the air triumphantly. And began taking selfies.

What was-Really?! Here they were running for their life and she was taking pictures?! Blaze clenched her teeth. What was this kid thinking? Didn’t she realise the seriousness of the situation? A few more bolts from the Flappers scorched the floor dangerously close to Blaze’s feet as she rounded a corner, throwing her weight against a door to burst it open. The room beyond was a vast factory, a maze of conveyor belts and walkways as Egg Pawn workers marched about tending to their duties. The sound of the door being flung open rang out across the large room, silencing the whirring of mechanical limbs. There was a beat of silence before a barrage of tools and chunks of scrap metal were launched Blaze’s way. Yet as the Princess leapt a gap to another walkway she began to notice the robots aim was…worse than usual. Even the shots aimed at her feet, obviously a body shot would’ve been preferable. What was going on?

Blaze felt a tap on her shoulder. "Take that door over there," Ada said, pointing to a door not far from the cat's right. "Take the first door on the left once we're in there."

Not having a plan to get the pair out of here, Blaze pounced to her right and flung the door open, ducking out of sight for the moment. The hallway hummed with the machinery still active all around them, giving the feeling of being inside a giant organism. It made Blaze uncomfortable and she knew she’d need to come back in to find the Sol emerald but this girl’s safety was her immediate concern. Sure enough, there was a door just a few feet down the corridor on the left. “You know your way around here?” Blaze asked as she ran for the door and threw it open, only to have a poorly stacked collection of mops tumble out and bonk the Princess on the head.

"Yeah," Ada idly commented, wriggling out of the princess' arms and landing on her feet. Snatching Blaze by the wrist, she pulled the the feline inside, closing the door behind them. After a moment the sound of the flappers could be heard racing by, completely ignoring their hiding space. Ada covered her mouth and made a soft giggle.

Rubbing the bump on her head, Blaze fumbled to pile the mops back into the maintenance closet with them to hide their position. This was not what she had in mind but…it worked, she supposed. As she listened near the door for the sound of Flappers to die down she kept her eyes on the girl. What was she giggling about? This wasn’t a game. “Do you know the way out from here?”

"Oh yeah. I can show you the way out, if you want," she turned, looking to Blaze. "Buuuut I'm guessing you don't want to leave yet? Oh! OH! By the way!" She paused, fumbling around in her pockets again. She produced a small notepad and a pen. "Can I have your autograph?!" At that moment there was a knock on the door.

“What I want is to get you to safety bef-” Again…really? Here they were hiding for their lives and she wanted…Still, amidst the frustration creeping in on Blaze she had to admit it was somewhat flattering. Noone had asked for her autograph before. Resting a few fingers against her forehead, she let out a low sigh. “If you show me how to get out of here then I will.” At least now she had some leverage to make this girl take the situation somewhat seriously. Then the knock came. Blaze tensed up. Someone knew they were here but hadn’t blown the door open. Was it Eggman? One of his Egg Bosses? She expected to find an army of robots waiting outside so maybe…maybe negotiation was the better option. Putting a hand out infront of Ada protectively, Blaze slowly turned the handle and swung the door open.

And standing on the other side of the door, arms folded across his chassis, was none other than Metal Sonic. Tapping his foot in an irritable matter, he locked eyes with Blaze for several moments, before leaning aside and shooting a glare at the young girl standing behind the princess. Ada frowned, shooting an accusing finger at the metallix. "That's not fair! You CHEATED!"

An army of Eggpawns would’ve been preferable. Blaze felt herself tighten at the sight of the cobalt metallix. She’d never seen him in person before but she’d heard enough to know how dangerous the robot was. If he was here then clearly the girl was important. Perhaps a hostage? Whatever the reason, she had to get past Metal…Easier said than done. The Princess’ foot burst into flames as she lunged, aiming a high kick for Metal’s faceplate. nUvyfE9w

o1M5k4|Bp_Having already expected Blaze to come lunging at him, Metal simply side-stepped her and continued to glare at Ada. "This stopped being a game the moment she arrived. You need to return to your room."

So the stories about his speed matching Sonic’s weren’t exaggerated. This was a problem. Blaze wasn’t certain she could fight Metal in a base filled with hostile robots –and- protect the girl…But she couldn’t just grab her and outrun him either. “I’m getting her out of here.” Blaze spoke, summing up all the royal authority she could muster.

Standing poised, the metalllix's eyes slid over toward Blaze. He flexed his talons. "She is not going anywh--" Looking between the two, the young girl couldn't help but laugh, cutting the robohog off. "Oh, just let her take me."

What was WITH this kid? Laughing in the face of Metal Sonic? Did she just not realise the danger she was in? Antagonising him wasn’t the best idea considering Blaze still had to find the Sol emerald hidden in this base somewhere. Maybe she should’ve asked for help on this. “Whatever plans you have for her, I won’t allow it.” Blaze’s feet slid across the floor as she prepared herself. Just as she’d practised a thousand times. Feet together, arms in. Head up.

Metal Sonic seemed to be ignoring Blaze at the moment. Instead he was locked in a staring contest with Ada, a silent battle of wits taking place. "I mean, seriously, she's just gonna fight you over it," a huge grin spread across her face. "You know she won't hurt me, so what's she gonna do... take me somewhere... safe?" The metallix looked back and forth between the two several times. "I--" he paused, gesturing in frustration. "Father would dismantle me if I allowed that!"

Okay what? The Burmese blinked, amber eyes darting between the two bickering. This odd girl laughing and arguing with Metal was insane but the metallix acting as if she had some authority was just…What? And “Father” had to mean Eggman. He’d really destroy Metal Sonic for allowing this girl to escape? Just how important was she? –Who- was she? Finally huffing and folding her arms, Blaze asked outright. “What is going on?”

Both Ada and Metal Sonic threw their hands up in a gesture for Blaze to be silent. Ada continued to grin. "Oh, don't be dramatic. It's not like she'd be taking me hostage. Besides, I'd be a great distraction while you go move the you-know-what~" Metal seemed to straighten up a bit more, glancing between Ada and Blaze. Wordlessly turning, his engine ignited, and he tore off down the hallway. As he left, the grin on the girl's face faltered, and she practically threw herself at the feline princess. "Oh thank Chaos, get me out of here! Eggman's been holding me hostage for days!"

Blaze flinched as Metal took off, part of her wanting to give chase. Surely the “You know what” the girl mentioned had to be the Sol emerald. If Metal moved it then she’d have no way to knowing where to look next. The Princess raised her hands, feeling uncomfortable as the girl threw herself against her. She was claiming to be a hostage but that behaviour from Metal Sonic wasn’t, Could not be normal for him. She still had no idea what all this was but she was beginning to suspect the child knew more than she was letting on. “Who are you?” She asked bluntly. “Why would Dr Eggman kidnap you?”

"I'm the daughter of the United Federation's president," Ada answered, a seriousness sweeping over her. "Eggman's been using me as blackmail and Daddy won't cooperate if he finds out I haven't been treated well." She paused, the grin returning. "By the way, I still want your autograph."

The President’s daughter? Blaze had never heard of the President’s daughter being kidnapped but…she wasn’t very familiar with this world. This seemed like something Sonic or one of his friends would’ve done something about but perhaps she simply got lucky stumbling across her. Still, as important as this was, she still had to get the Sol emerald too. Blaze gave a slight nod to the excited child’s reminder. “Alright. I’ll make you a deal. I’ll get you back to your father and give you my autograph if you tell me where to find the Sol emerald…What’s your name?”

"I'm Ada," the girl said with a little smirk. "And if you want your Sol Emerald you're going to have to catch Metal Sonic."

Yes. Yes she was. Blaze turned in the direction Metal Sonic had flown off in. There was no way she’d be able to track him through the facility considering his speed and headstart. Glancing over her shoulder to the girl, she knelt down. “Climb on. If you know the way, I’ll need you to guide me.” A small smile showed on the Princess’ lips as she tried to focus. The emerald wasn’t lot yet. There was still a chance…assuming this Ada girl didn’t get the directions wrong. “Preferably not into a closet this time.” She added playfully.
