Chapter 1: Where's Our Family?
I woke up to an empty bed under me. I was confused. Sonic always waited for our little brother to come to us. There were still a couple hours before Tails woke up, so I got up and checked all of the rooms, including his. Only Tails was found. I woke up my little bro and said, "Little bud, you're the only person I can find in the palace. C'mon." He got up and said, "What?" I nodded. I took his hand and we looked everywhere for them. Oddly, we couldn't even find our mom or dad. That frightened me, not even knowing where our parents were. We knew we'd have to investigate further into this. But first, we needed to know where they were. And I had quite the idea where they might of been. I had our maid, Destiny, make us breakfast, I asked my little brother, "Whaddaya wanna watch?" Tails plopped onto the couch, smiled, and said, "I Didn't Do It." I couldn't argue there. Destiny finished the food and brought us some food. There was more food than I expected. Tails and I ate and went off to a place I'd never of expected that I'd go by choice- Robotnik's fortress.
Chapter 2: Searching The Fortress
Tails and I slipped past the robots as we went inside. Dang, had I taught him some stuff about sneaking around and things like that. I kept my eyes open for me and my little brother. Tails and I came across an elevator, but we had to put in a passcode. I whispered to Tails, "No biggie, little bro. I've got somethin' that can crack the code pretty fast. Not as fast as Sonic, but you know what I mean." Tails got an excited sparkle in his eyes. It was kinda cute. But he said, worried, "Manic, you do realize what'll happen if Robotnik does have them, right?" Then I got worried. I knew what my little brother meant. Robotnik's dream is our worst nightmare. He wants to take over Möbius and he really wants to roboticize our family. "Don't worry, Tails. We're not gonna let that happen. We'll save them if they're here." I couldn't let him know that I was getting scared to death. He was looking up to me. We looked everywhere except one room- the roboticizing room. Tails was even more frightened. There wasn't much of a chance to save them if they were in there.
Chapter 3: NO!!!!!
I silently opened the door. Tails knew to be quiet. We hid under the main controls. I told my little brother to keep an eye on the roboticizer and let me know who was getting roboticized. He nodded and sat really still. Ro-butt-nik was really dumb to not notice us. Tails had turned away from the roboticizer for a few minutes to look back at me. When he turned around, he climbed up to it and spoke, "No! Amy! Robotnik, please, no! Don't roboticize them!" But it was too late. Just as Tails got up to the roboticizer, he'd already started roboticizing our sister. Then I noticed that the rest of our family were, well, already roboticized. Sonic was trying to break free from the robot's grip before he was roboticized. I would've taken Tails into my arms, but I was mad. I climbed up to where the robot was holding Sonic and tried to help him get out of there. That robot had a tight grip on our brother, though. Soon, I turned back at the roboticizer. Amy was already roboticized. Then some other robots came up to Tails and me and practically captured us. Tails looked at me. The boy was crying. I put my head down. Robotnik came up to us two, held our faces so that we were looking at him, and he said, "Your worst nightmare is coming true. After Sonic is roboticized, I'll roboticize you two, and then Möbius will belong to me." I struggled to break free. But then I watched the roboticizer. Robotnik held Sonic into the roboticizer and spoke to him, "You belong to me now, Sonic. Sleet, turn on the roboticizer." I screamed, "NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Everyone looked at me. I usually hated all the attention, but I was furious. Robotnik said to Sleet again, "Don't listen to the brat. Roboticize Sonic." Sleet started laughing as he turned on the roboticizer. I kept screaming, "NO! STOP THE MACHINE! LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE! NOW!" Robotnik came up to me, held me against the wall, and said, "Listen, you little brat. I practically already own you. So stop trying to get out of being one of my next robotic slaves, because you belong to me, now." I was shocked. How dare that obese guy talk to me like that! I was going to say some not-so-nice words, but there was a nine-year old boy around. All of a sudden, Miles started to cry and scream uncontrollably nonstop. I gulped, but I made myself look back at the roboticizer. Sonic was roboticized. I started to react the same way that Tails was. My twin brother was gone!
Chapter 4: Alone
I was so furious and upset, I yanked my arms from the robot's grip. Making the tightest, hardest fist that I could, I punched that obese madman in the face. It didn't mean anything to me that I was then king. I wanted my family back. But then I got frightened. One wrong move, one bad choice. I ignored the feeling, though. I felt better after I'd punched him. But then I heard, "Put me down, you idiotic robots! Wait... Mom? Dad? MANIC! HELP ME! PLEASE!" I turned around in alarm. They were about to roboticize Tails. I ran up to the robots and grabbed my brother. But just after I yanked him from them, they gave him some sort of shot. He got really weak. I tried to help him along, but then I saw that it was too late. The shot put chemicals inside of him, and the chemicals were roboticizing him. I said to my little bro, painfully, "Miles, I'd do anything to save you, you know that. But that shot is somehow roboticizing you. You're going to have to stay here. I'll get rid of Robotnik someday, I promise. I know that you'll be fine. I love you, Miles." He reached up for my hand, but I couldn't take it. Then, all of a sudden, I had a total meltdown right on the spot. But then I heard a cage lock. Looking upwards, I noticed that Robotnik had locked me up. Pushing myself through the cage, I realized that I was free. I ran the fastest I'd ever ran in my entire life.
Chapter 5: All By Myself
I laid in my bed, miserable. The soldiers were forcing me to have my coronation day, and I wasn't ready. But since the king was gone, I was the next in line to become king. And looking at the wall didn't help. My only pictures were of my family, and all that did was make me cry even more than I already was. All of them were gone, just like that. So I turned on my phone and texted my girlfriend, who would probably become the queen. She didn't answer, though. I cried a lot that day. And I seriously didn't want the next day to be my coronation. How was I going to explain that there would be no king, though? I couldn't just quit who I was. I had to take a major step somehow. But how? I just laid there, counting the stars. I didn't even bother to look for my star, because my family's stars were between mine. Because of Robotnik, my life was ruined. I just wanted to give myself up, but there was no way that I could've done that to myself. I looked up at the picture of my dad as a little boy. He had nothing to worry about back then. But he was still yet so fearless, and turns out my uncle Chuck was his brother. Oh, who am I kidding? They're both gone, so what was the point? I walked into my little bro's old room, just looked around, and walked over to his cabinet where he'd kept the things he'd treasured most. I couldn't help myself. I had to open it, so I did. And you want to know what was in there? There were stuffed animals of our whole family. I took the stuffed animals with me. "Amy must've made these in her sewing class", I whispered. Those meant everything to me, now. I held them tight as I fell asleep.
Chapter 6: The Paper
I was getting so bored without company. I went downstairs to Tails's lab. It was a mess, so I started to clean it up. I tried to text Blaze again, but I doubted that she'd answer me.
Me: Hey, Blaze.
Blaze: Manic?! I thought you weren't allowed to let your family know about me!
Yes! She answered! But why'd she have to bring up my family after what happened? I'll have to explain to her...
Me: Can we not talk about my family right now? They were all roboticized, and now I'm miserable.
Blaze: Sure and I'm really sorry, Manic. I wish there was something we could do that would bring them back.
Something we could do...Something I could do... What could I possibly do if Robotnik was after me, now? I looked down as I was cleaning up. There was this crumpled up piece of paper in the corner. What is that exactly?
Me: Me too. Wait a minute... I'll be right back.
Blaze: Alright
I un-crumpled the paper. It said 'De-Roboticizer' and it also explained how to make it. My little bro must've...
Me: I found this: How to make the de-roboticizer. It must be something that Tails was working on before he was captured and roboticized. He completed writing it, I can definitely tell you that, but he never tried to make it. This could change everything!
Blaze: What?! Can I help you?!
That's my girl. I love her and her daughter (I'm not the girl's dad although she calls me that) so much. It's awful that my family couldn't know about them. Of course she can help!
Me: Of course you can, but what about little Angelica?
Blaze: I'll find somebody to babysit her. We can't risk her messing with anything. Plus we're going to have to go down to the fortress to get your family anyway. She'd get captured for sure. It'll be safer to keep her home.
That makes me feel so much better. Just talk about our little Angelica. She's only three years old- and adorable, to be honest. At least I still have them for my family. They're both so sweet. And they actually care about me. I don't want to wait. I'm going to text her again.
Me: Blaze, since it's late, I'll pick you up tomorrow to do all this. Bring some weapons if you can.
Blaze: Sounds good. And Manic, I don't need weapons. Listen to my name: Blaze. Do you know what 'Blaze' means?
I'm gonna be honest with her.
Me: I'm sorry, Blaze, but I have no clue what your name means.
Blaze: Manic, my name means two things: 1. A strong fire, and 2. To burn; to burst into flame. I was cursed with powers to burn things, but I'll admit that it does come in handy. So I don't need weapons. I just burn everything bad that surrounds me.
Woah! I never knew that she had powers. I wonder if Angelica has powers, too. I'm gonna tell her...
Me: That's so cool! Does your daughter have powers?
Blaze: Yes, believe it or not. The crazy part is that she can freeze things or make it snow whenever she wants. The exact opposite of my power is my daughter's power. Funny, right?
Wow. That's crazy. Anyways, I'd better get to bed. Tomorrow's going to be a crazy day for me.
Chapter 7: Getting There and Back
I woke up extra early the next morning. My mind was getting all blurry and I forgot what was going on that day. But by the time I ate a doughnut and drank some milk, I was back to normal. But I still didn't remember what I was doing that day. Then I thought of Blaze and said, "Oh, yeah. Blaze and I doing our de-roboticizing thing today. I really hope this works. I want my family back." Blaze had told me to pick her up at 10:00. I looked at the clock. It was only 7:30 by the time I finished. I plopped back onto the couch. I grabbed the TV remote and put on 'I Didn't Do It'. It reminded me of Tails so much but surprisingly, I didn't cry. I just hoped with all my heart that our plan would work. A few hours passed, and I hopped into my new sports car and drove towards my girl's house. I got stuck in a lot of traffic, but it was worth it to pick her up. I was embarrassed that I was late, but Blaze just hopped into the car happily. I said to her, "So... Hi...", She smiled and answered with her polite hello. She asked how I knew what happened, and I replied, "Unfortunately, I was there when it happened. That's how I knew. But it was the worst with my little bro." Blaze explained that she was sorry. But then I saw her look down from the window. I asked her, "Alright, Blazelle. What's bothering you?" She answered that her parents were captured by Robotnik when she was four and he put them to death. I held her tight and explained that I knew how she felt. Then it occurred to me that if we did something to Robotnik, we might be able to get her parents back. She looked out the window as I explained my idea. "I wish...", my girlfriend murmured. We were almost back home when a song came on the radio that seemed really familiar to me. I then recognized what the song was. It was Amy's and Sonia's favorite song that they wrote, 'Doing Our Own Thing'. I tapped on Blaze. "What?", she asked. I answered her, "Amy's and Sonia's song is on the radio! Oh my gosh!" Blaze said, ecstatically, "Don't keep it so low! Turn it up!" And then she reached for the knob and put the volume as high as it could go. The two of us kept rocking out and having a blast. I threw a bag of money to a homeless hedgehog. That young lady was thrilled. I got out of the car and also gave her a doughnut. Blaze and I both hugged each other. I wondered what channel it was, and Blaze answered that it was literally Amy's and Sonia's own channel. I kept it on for the rest of the drive home. When I drove into the garage, Blaze hopped out of the car. I climbed out, looked at her, and then we burst up the stairs to the lab.
Chapter 8: The Machine
I went over the list with Blaze and made sure we had everything. Then we stood up the pieces of scrap metal and screwed them together. I was tying the little figures into the machine for them to go after, and then I noticed that Blaze wasn't standing there. I looked up. She was putting on Sonia's and Amy's channel. We suddenly started to laugh for absolutely no reason at all. We put the whole thing together and took a robotic mouse and put it into there. Hey, we had to test it somehow! We had to wait ten minutes, but whatever. After the ten minutes, the mouse scurried out- as a living animal. Blaze and I got even more excited. But we managed to sit down and take a break. We decided to watch TV, and she asked for 'I Didn't Do It'. I told her that we'd get my family the next day. But she then got a call from the babysitter. Angel's babysitter had quit. We'd have to bring Angelica with us to Robotnik's fortress, which scared us a lot. She's three years old-she doesn't know better about being quiet. But there was nothing else to do with her. The next day would be our only hope. We were either going to succeed, or we were gonna be roboticized.
Chapter 9: Getting My Family
Blaze stayed at the palace last night. So did Angelica. I woke up with Angelica's face looking straight at my face. She was smiling at me, and then I smiled at her. I said, "Come here. Angel. What are you doing?" She giggled. I held my step-daughter close in my arms. She's three, but she's never spoken one word within those three years... Almost four. She giggled at me again. Blaze then woke up and laughed when she saw our Angel and me. I said, "What? Can't I spend time with my daughter and her mommy?" She rolled her eyes with a smile on her face. I rang the bell and asked for Destiny to get us some clothes. She nodded and brought me some of my clothes. She brought Blaze and our Angel to Amy's and Sonia's old room. Blaze chose a fancy, beautiful, pink, golden, and light blue gown with white, lacy gloves. Her shoes were yellow with a pink, white, and light blue design on them. Our Angel's outfit was a pink t-shirt with a red flower on it, a purple skirt, and these fashionable gloves that don't completely cover her hands. She looked soooo cute! Then we hopped into my black car. Blaze told her daughter, "Angelica, since you don't have a babysitter anymore, you're going to have to come with me and your daddy. You're going to have to keep your mouth shut the whole time we're there. No laughing, no crying, no little noises at all. Do you hear me?" Our Angel nodded her head. I asked her, "Do you understand what your mommy said?" She nodded and pointed out the window at McDonalds. I told her that we'd go the next day. She seemed satisfied. We then got to the fortress. I hate to say this, but I was scared that we wouldn't make it out of there alive. But Blaze reassured me that we'd be fine. We got out of the car and I told Angelica to stay with me and her mother. I gulped as we walked inside the fortress. Blaze and I kept looking around and she spoke after a while, "These poor robots. Ok, seriously, how are we going to tell your family apart from the rest of them?" I thought for a few minutes until my medallion glowed. Then it hit me-my whole family had medallions. That's what I told Blaze right before a robot grabbed my arm. I yanked my arm away from the robot and then I recognized it- the robot was Amy. I called, "Blaze! Grab this robot!" She asked, "Why, Manic?" I answered, "Blaze, this isn't just any robot. Don't you recognize her? It's Amy!" Blaze grabbed my sister and brought her outside. I thought to myself, "One down, five to go. This is actually easier than I thought. Now I just have to find Sonic, Tails, Sonia, Mom, and Dad." Blaze came back just as I found my little brother. He still wasn't completely roboticized, which made me happy. Blaze then helped him to the car. I was even more relaxed after that in a way. Two down, four to go. I recommended that we walk around some more. We got to an elevator and didn't find anybody else yet. I pushed in the code and all three of us walked into it. We just went to the second floor and when it opened, two other robots came towards us. "Manic! Destroy these two robots!" I answered, "Not going to happen, Blazelle. These are my parents! There's no way I'm gonna hurt my parents." Blaze apparently didn't realize that it was my parents, because she kept apologizing. I told her that it was no biggie. We just needed a way to get my mom and dad in the car. Angel tapped on me and tried to lift up my mom. I told her to not try, because she would've hurt herself. Blaze and I went back to the car, brought my parents into the car, and then back into the room we were just in. It was really dusty in there. Angelica made it start to snow in the fortress, and then we saw Sonia. She collapsed in the snow, and I carried my sister to the car. I took a long look at her face. Although she was roboticized, she was still beautiful. I smiled and whispered, "It's ok, Sonia. Don't you worry. You're going to be alright. We're going home." Blaze signaled for me to follow her. Our Angel made it stop snowing and we went up another floor. Blaze asked, "Alright, who else do we need to get?" I answered, "Well, the only one we need to find now is Sonic. And I don't think that he'll be too difficult to find." Blaze agreed with me completely. I looked up... Just to see how many floors there were. There were seven floors! And guess where we ended up? The top floor. I looked around, praying that we'd find Sonic there. And just before we left, I heard Robotnik heading towards where we were. I was half scared, but also half hoping that Sonic was with him. But I still knew better, so I grabbed Blaze and our Angel. We hid under some controls and sure enough, Sonic was with Robotnik. I tiptoed towards them and quickly grabbed Sonic while I signaled for Blaze and Angelica to leave immediately. They left and I followed them. I called, "Nice try, Ro-butt-nik, but Sonic's back to being a freedom fighter. And so's the rest of my family!" I told my brother, "Sonic, I'm not trying to be mean, but I need your speed right now. I'll give your medallion back, I promise you that, bro." I took the medallion off Sonic's neck and put it around mine. I immediately had Sonic's speed. A green speedster! I hopped into the car, gave the medallion back to Sonic, and drove us away. Blaze told our Angel, "Angelica, whatever you do, do not leave your father's lap. You hear me?" Angel nodded and fell asleep in my lap. I smiled nervously at Blaze and looked back. Everybody was either just sitting there, or they fell asleep. I rushed us towards the palace.
Chapter 10: The First Lucky One
I was exhausted when we got to the palace, but I managed to get started. Blaze ran in after me. We prepared the machine and Blaze asked, "Who do you want to do first?" I answered, "Let's start with Tails. He isn't roboticized all the way, so he'll take a shorter amount of time then the rest of them, anyway." Blaze agreed and I ran outside to get Tails. My younger bro smiled at me, and I waved at him. I told him, "There's something that you're going in, I'll tell you now. So don't be scared, because you'll be back to normal soon enough." Tails nodded, which I suppose meant 'okay'. Blaze asked me when I got back inside, "You ready?" I looked at my little bro. I answered, "Yes. Yes, I am." I sat him down in the center of the floor and he stayed there. The metal went up, and the machine was saving Tails... I think. Angel watched, amazed, at all of this. We waited for five minutes, and then the machine stopped and came down. Tails was looking at himself. He was back to normal... None of him was still a robot. Because of both of us, in a way. Blaze put her hand on her heart. Anybody could tell that she was so happy for me. Tails threw his arms around my neck. He held me tight, and so did I. "Thank you, Manic. You were the miracle I'd been waiting for," my brother said. You could tell he was crying, but for good reasons. I told him that I loved him and he smiled again. He answered, "Let's get everybody else done, now." We agreed and headed outside.
Chapter 11: First Girl Done
Tails had begged us to save Amy next. Blaze and I winked at each other and I told Tails, "Ok, Tails. Let's go get her. We'll save her next. Sound good?" Tails nodded and got the adorable sparkle in his blue eyes again. Blaze thought it was adorable, too. We went outside and grabbed Amy. She was trying to attack us before I placed her down. Tails looked sad at our sister and said, "Poor Amy. Don't worry, big sis. You'll be back to normal before you know it." I held Amy to the floor and called to Blaze, "Blaze, turn on the machine! Quick! She's fighting me, here!" Blaze turned the machine on and we waited... And waited... And waited. I fell asleep until I heard nothing. This woke me up, and I looked at the machine. Amy was looking around and looking herself over. She spoke, "What...? How...? Manic, how did you-" I answered, "I'll explain later, sis. How are you feeling?" She smiled, which I supposed meant 'okay' and 'fine'. Our Angel ran to Amy and said, "Auntie!" Blaze and I gasped. Angelica had said her first word. Finally, after her three years. Amy asked who Angel was. Blaze explained that she was her daughter. Amy said after Blaze finished, "Oh! Hey, Blaze! How are you doing?" Blaze nodded and answered, "Hey, Amy. I'm doing pretty good, thank you. You?" Amy gave Blaze a look that meant 'Really? After what happened a few days ago?' Blaze and Amy kept talking to each other when Tails interrupted and said, "No offense, girls, but enough with the chit-chat for now. We've got to save the rest of our family." I agreed, "Tails is right. According to Robotnik's controls, we only have about thirty-five minutes left to save everyone else. If we aren't done with all of them by 12:30, the ones we haven't saved will stay roboticized forever. We won't be able to save them after that time." Blaze ran outside, and I followed her.
Chapter 12: My Parents
We both ran outside and grabbed my parents. We continued back to the house after we got ahold of them. We decided to start with Dad because once he was back on our side, he'd be able to help us. He's a lot stronger than me, so he'll be a big help. Blaze and I held my father into our machine as I told Tails and Amy, "Guys, can you start the machine?" Amy nodded and then turned on the machine. I watched the machine for ten minutes until it stopped. The machine stopped and my dad walked out. Tails, Amy, and I ran into our father's arms and hugged him. He hugged us back. But then Angelica walked up to our dad and said, "Grandpa! Daddy, this grandpa?" I nodded and held my step-daughter in my arms when Dad looked at me. I quickly told Dad, "I'll explain later tonight, Dad. I'm not exactly sure if you're going to be happy though, fair warning." Dad took Mom in his arms and said to me, "We'll talk later, Manic. We need to help the rest of your siblings and your mother." I turned on the machine as Dad placed our mother in it. We waited again for the machine to stop. When it did, our mother was sitting there. She was looking herself over, as shocked as could be. My siblings and I ran towards our mom and hugged her when Angelica again ran up to me. Mom asked me, "Manic, who's this adorable little girl?" I told her, "I'll explain later. Mainly because there's something about my relationship with her that she doesn't exactly know." Mom nodded and said, "Don't even worry about it, honey. Can I take a random guess on who she is, though?" I nodded and replied, "You go right ahead, Mom." She answered, "Okay, I'm going to guess that she's your daughter." I nodded and said, "Sort of..." Then I whispered to my mother, "Mom, she's my step-daughter, but she believes that I'm her real father, and Blaze and I want to keep it that way." Dad looked at me when he discovered that Mom's guess was right. So did my de-roboticized brother and sister. Dad said, "What now? Manic, I told you that you weren't allowed to have any children- including step-children- until you were twenty-one." Mom answered, "Jonathan, it's alright. He's one year off. He's not a kid anymore. He's a young man... Who I am very, incredibly proud to have as my son." I ran into Mom's arms and hugged her again. "I love you so much, Manic. And I'm also very proud of you. You were very brave to go out and get everybody like that." I thanked her again and told her, "C'mon. We've only got fifteen minutes left, and we still have to save Sonic and Sonia." Mom got a worried look on her face, but she nodded.
13. The Final Two
I caught on to why Mom was worried. We only had fifteen minutes until there was no way to save them, and each one of them took ten minutes. But all I could do was hope that the remaining fifteen minutes would just be long enough. Sonia was still out cold, but Sonic was running around like a maniac. Dad snatched up my brother by one of his spikes and then also took Sonia into his arms, too. He carried them upstairs and Mom looked at my brother and sister. She had a heartbroken look on her face, but she was really trying to be confident. Dad put Sonic down on the couch and oddly, he sat still for once in his life. Dad woke up my sister just as I turned on the de-roboticizer. She was trying to attack it. I waited for five minutes and then went off to get myself a hamburger. Once it was done, I went back and sat down on the sofa. After five more minutes, my sister jumped out of the machine in an almost posing position. I laughed, ran over to Sonia, and hugged her. She hugged me tight and then asked, "Manic, how did you..." I told her, "I'll explain to you and Amy later, sis. We only have five minutes until Sonic is permanently roboticized, and he takes ten minutes. I don't know what the result is going to be with him." Sonia was just as worried as I was. We placed Sonic in our machine and just hoped. Everybody was looking at each other, and Tails was standing at the machine, waiting for Sonic to come out. I liked how positive my younger brother was being. I was also proud of him, too. He really is a strong little boy. And I'm saying this about a twelve-year-old- and I'm twenty! But five minutes passed, and the machine was still in motion. I closed my eyes and prayed with all my heart that he'd make it out of there alright. I'd been waiting twenty minutes when the machine suddenly stopped. I opened my eyes, but they still showed that I was worried. Sonic climbed out of there...
He was back to normal.
We all ran over to him and hugged him like crazy. Blaze was proud of us and happy for us.
Chapter 14: Blaze's Parents
Blaze's gold locket opened and two spirits came out. One of them said, "Don't be afraid, princess. I'm sure you don't remember, but I'm your mother." And the other one was her father. I had a feeling that something was about to change. Suddenly, the spirits disappeared and her real parents ran up to their daughter, alive. Blaze jumped into her parents's arms and asked them, "Did you know?" Her mother nodded and said, "A good deed would break his curse, and helping this boy was the needed deed. We knew that someday you would be able to break the curse. Good girl." Blaze was thrilled to finally have her parents back. Then she remembered Angelica and said, "Mother, Father, this little girl here is my three-and-a-half year old daughter, Angelica Blazelle Rosana." They picked up their granddaughter and said, "Blazelle, your little Angel is so cute. Who's her father, my dear?" Blaze said, "Well, Manic is her (whispers) stepdad, (back to normal) but her (whispers) real father (back to normal) was this boy I once knew. His name was Scourge. But things just didn't work out. He began to beat her when she was born. She was born with a twin sister, who I named Sonelia, but she was hurt by her father and she, well, died. When I discovered that it was Scrouge that killed my daughter, I demanded that we divorced. I was already friends with Amy here and when I met her brother, I fell in love with him right away. And he felt the same way, so we started dating right away. And this is where we ended up." She walked up to me and then said, "Without further adieu, Mother, Father, this is Manic, my boyfriend." Her mother said, "Oh Blazelle, he's so handsome! Someday, Blazelle. You two make a an adorable boyfriend and girlfriend."
"More than that," I corrected.
Chapter 15: The Proposal & The Wedding
My sisters and brothers gasped and all smiled. They knew what I was about to do. I knelt to the ground, pulled a black case out of my pocket, and said, "Blazelle, I love you so much. We've been together for a few years now, and we've never broken a single promise that we spoke to each other. Our hearts are in the right place." I opened the case and revealed a golden, diamond ring. My parents gasped. I heard Mom whisper, "Oh, Manic. Go on, honey. Jonathan, those are the same words you said when you proposed to me." I looked at my parents, who my mother had her hand over her mouth. Her eyes had tears in them. I looked at Blaze and proceeded, "I love you, and you love me. So much has happened to us in the past, but everything was good. So, Blazelle Katrina Rosana, will you marry me?" Blaze had began to cry, and then she replied, "Oh, Manic! Yes, of course!" Blaze then stood up straight and said, "I am officially proud to become an Aleena princess. This is a great honor to become one of you." Before I knew it, she jumped into my arms and we kissed. I opened one of my eyes and looked at my parents. My parents were also kissing along with Blaze and me. I was officially going to be Angelica's father, too.
Seven months later...
I walked down the isle with Blaze. Angelica was our little flower girl, and she was being so cute. Our Angel had just turned four last month. The pastor said that we were officially married, and the two of us kissed again. I was with the two girls that were meant for me. Amy was our maid of honor, and Sonic was our best man. We'd asked Tails if he wanted to be the ring boy, and he accepted. A lot's happened in the last seven months. But we were together again, and that was all that mattered. There's been a few sad moments, but nothing serious has happened. Blaze and I still have Angelica, and we've given birth to a little girl who we named Soniana. Soniana has a twin, and we named our other one after Blaze's deceased daughter, so we gave her the same name as the deceased girl: Sonelia. We're a family, now. And that's an amazing thing. I'm lucky to have gotten my family back, and the same with Blaze. We'll be together forever, now.
Dare I say that this is the best thing I've EVER written.
The End...
Chapter 1: Where's Our Family?
I woke up to an empty bed under me. I was confused. Sonic always waited for our little brother to come to us. There were still a couple hours before Tails woke up, so I got up and checked all of the rooms, including his. Only Tails was found. I woke up my little bro and said, "Little bud, you're the only person I can find in the palace. C'mon." He got up and said, "What?" I nodded. I took his hand and we looked everywhere for them. Oddly, we couldn't even find our mom or dad. That frightened me, not even knowing where our parents were. We knew we'd have to investigate further into this. But first, we needed to know where they were. And I had quite the idea where they might of been. I had our maid, Destiny, make us breakfast, I asked my little brother, "Whaddaya wanna watch?" Tails plopped onto the couch, smiled, and said, "I Didn't Do It." I couldn't argue there. Destiny finished the food and brought us some food. There was more food than I expected. Tails and I ate and went off to a place I'd never of expected that I'd go by choice- Robotnik's fortress.
Chapter 2: Searching The Fortress
Tails and I slipped past the robots as we went inside. Dang, had I taught him some stuff about sneaking around and things like that. I kept my eyes open for me and my little brother. Tails and I came across an elevator, but we had to put in a passcode. I whispered to Tails, "No biggie, little bro. I've got somethin' that can crack the code pretty fast. Not as fast as Sonic, but you know what I mean." Tails got an excited sparkle in his eyes. It was kinda cute. But he said, worried, "Manic, you do realize what'll happen if Robotnik does have them, right?" Then I got worried. I knew what my little brother meant. Robotnik's dream is our worst nightmare. He wants to take over Möbius and he really wants to roboticize our family. "Don't worry, Tails. We're not gonna let that happen. We'll save them if they're here." I couldn't let him know that I was getting scared to death. He was looking up to me. We looked everywhere except one room- the roboticizing room. Tails was even more frightened. There wasn't much of a chance to save them if they were in there.
Chapter 3: NO!!!!!
I silently opened the door. Tails knew to be quiet. We hid under the main controls. I told my little brother to keep an eye on the roboticizer and let me know who was getting roboticized. He nodded and sat really still. Ro-butt-nik was really dumb to not notice us. Tails had turned away from the roboticizer for a few minutes to look back at me. When he turned around, he climbed up to it and spoke, "No! Amy! Robotnik, please, no! Don't roboticize them!" But it was too late. Just as Tails got up to the roboticizer, he'd already started roboticizing our sister. Then I noticed that the rest of our family were, well, already roboticized. Sonic was trying to break free from the robot's grip before he was roboticized. I would've taken Tails into my arms, but I was mad. I climbed up to where the robot was holding Sonic and tried to help him get out of there. That robot had a tight grip on our brother, though. Soon, I turned back at the roboticizer. Amy was already roboticized. Then some other robots came up to Tails and me and practically captured us. Tails looked at me. The boy was crying. I put my head down. Robotnik came up to us two, held our faces so that we were looking at him, and he said, "Your worst nightmare is coming true. After Sonic is roboticized, I'll roboticize you two, and then Möbius will belong to me." I struggled to break free. But then I watched the roboticizer. Robotnik held Sonic into the roboticizer and spoke to him, "You belong to me now, Sonic. Sleet, turn on the roboticizer." I screamed, "NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Everyone looked at me. I usually hated all the attention, but I was furious. Robotnik said to Sleet again, "Don't listen to the brat. Roboticize Sonic." Sleet started laughing as he turned on the roboticizer. I kept screaming, "NO! STOP THE MACHINE! LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE! NOW!" Robotnik came up to me, held me against the wall, and said, "Listen, you little brat. I practically already own you. So stop trying to get out of being one of my next robotic slaves, because you belong to me, now." I was shocked. How dare that obese guy talk to me like that! I was going to say some not-so-nice words, but there was a nine-year old boy around. All of a sudden, Miles started to cry and scream uncontrollably nonstop. I gulped, but I made myself look back at the roboticizer. Sonic was roboticized. I started to react the same way that Tails was. My twin brother was gone!
Chapter 4: Alone
I was so furious and upset, I yanked my arms from the robot's grip. Making the tightest, hardest fist that I could, I punched that obese madman in the face. It didn't mean anything to me that I was then king. I wanted my family back. But then I got frightened. One wrong move, one bad choice. I ignored the feeling, though. I felt better after I'd punched him. But then I heard, "Put me down, you idiotic robots! Wait... Mom? Dad? MANIC! HELP ME! PLEASE!" I turned around in alarm. They were about to roboticize Tails. I ran up to the robots and grabbed my brother. But just after I yanked him from them, they gave him some sort of shot. He got really weak. I tried to help him along, but then I saw that it was too late. The shot put chemicals inside of him, and the chemicals were roboticizing him. I said to my little bro, painfully, "Miles, I'd do anything to save you, you know that. But that shot is somehow roboticizing you. You're going to have to stay here. I'll get rid of Robotnik someday, I promise. I know that you'll be fine. I love you, Miles." He reached up for my hand, but I couldn't take it. Then, all of a sudden, I had a total meltdown right on the spot. But then I heard a cage lock. Looking upwards, I noticed that Robotnik had locked me up. Pushing myself through the cage, I realized that I was free. I ran the fastest I'd ever ran in my entire life.
Chapter 5: All By Myself
I laid in my bed, miserable. The soldiers were forcing me to have my coronation day, and I wasn't ready. But since the king was gone, I was the next in line to become king. And looking at the wall didn't help. My only pictures were of my family, and all that did was make me cry even more than I already was. All of them were gone, just like that. So I turned on my phone and texted my girlfriend, who would probably become the queen. She didn't answer, though. I cried a lot that day. And I seriously didn't want the next day to be my coronation. How was I going to explain that there would be no king, though? I couldn't just quit who I was. I had to take a major step somehow. But how? I just laid there, counting the stars. I didn't even bother to look for my star, because my family's stars were between mine. Because of Robotnik, my life was ruined. I just wanted to give myself up, but there was no way that I could've done that to myself. I looked up at the picture of my dad as a little boy. He had nothing to worry about back then. But he was still yet so fearless, and turns out my uncle Chuck was his brother. Oh, who am I kidding? They're both gone, so what was the point? I walked into my little bro's old room, just looked around, and walked over to his cabinet where he'd kept the things he'd treasured most. I couldn't help myself. I had to open it, so I did. And you want to know what was in there? There were stuffed animals of our whole family. I took the stuffed animals with me. "Amy must've made these in her sewing class", I whispered. Those meant everything to me, now. I held them tight as I fell asleep.
Chapter 6: The Paper
I was getting so bored without company. I went downstairs to Tails's lab. It was a mess, so I started to clean it up. I tried to text Blaze again, but I doubted that she'd answer me.
Me: Hey, Blaze.
Blaze: Manic?! I thought you weren't allowed to let your family know about me!
Yes! She answered! But why'd she have to bring up my family after what happened? I'll have to explain to her...
Me: Can we not talk about my family right now? They were all roboticized, and now I'm miserable.
Blaze: Sure and I'm really sorry, Manic. I wish there was something we could do that would bring them back.
Something we could do...Something I could do... What could I possibly do if Robotnik was after me, now? I looked down as I was cleaning up. There was this crumpled up piece of paper in the corner. What is that exactly?
Me: Me too. Wait a minute... I'll be right back.
Blaze: Alright
I un-crumpled the paper. It said 'De-Roboticizer' and it also explained how to make it. My little bro must've...
Me: I found this: How to make the de-roboticizer. It must be something that Tails was working on before he was captured and roboticized. He completed writing it, I can definitely tell you that, but he never tried to make it. This could change everything!
Blaze: What?! Can I help you?!
That's my girl. I love her and her daughter (I'm not the girl's dad although she calls me that) so much. It's awful that my family couldn't know about them. Of course she can help!
Me: Of course you can, but what about little Angelica?
Blaze: I'll find somebody to babysit her. We can't risk her messing with anything. Plus we're going to have to go down to the fortress to get your family anyway. She'd get captured for sure. It'll be safer to keep her home.
That makes me feel so much better. Just talk about our little Angelica. She's only three years old- and adorable, to be honest. At least I still have them for my family. They're both so sweet. And they actually care about me. I don't want to wait. I'm going to text her again.
Me: Blaze, since it's late, I'll pick you up tomorrow to do all this. Bring some weapons if you can.
Blaze: Sounds good. And Manic, I don't need weapons. Listen to my name: Blaze. Do you know what 'Blaze' means?
I'm gonna be honest with her.
Me: I'm sorry, Blaze, but I have no clue what your name means.
Blaze: Manic, my name means two things: 1. A strong fire, and 2. To burn; to burst into flame. I was cursed with powers to burn things, but I'll admit that it does come in handy. So I don't need weapons. I just burn everything bad that surrounds me.
Woah! I never knew that she had powers. I wonder if Angelica has powers, too. I'm gonna tell her...
Me: That's so cool! Does your daughter have powers?
Blaze: Yes, believe it or not. The crazy part is that she can freeze things or make it snow whenever she wants. The exact opposite of my power is my daughter's power. Funny, right?
Wow. That's crazy. Anyways, I'd better get to bed. Tomorrow's going to be a crazy day for me.
Chapter 7: Getting There and Back
I woke up extra early the next morning. My mind was getting all blurry and I forgot what was going on that day. But by the time I ate a doughnut and drank some milk, I was back to normal. But I still didn't remember what I was doing that day. Then I thought of Blaze and said, "Oh, yeah. Blaze and I doing our de-roboticizing thing today. I really hope this works. I want my family back." Blaze had told me to pick her up at 10:00. I looked at the clock. It was only 7:30 by the time I finished. I plopped back onto the couch. I grabbed the TV remote and put on 'I Didn't Do It'. It reminded me of Tails so much but surprisingly, I didn't cry. I just hoped with all my heart that our plan would work. A few hours passed, and I hopped into my new sports car and drove towards my girl's house. I got stuck in a lot of traffic, but it was worth it to pick her up. I was embarrassed that I was late, but Blaze just hopped into the car happily. I said to her, "So... Hi...", She smiled and answered with her polite hello. She asked how I knew what happened, and I replied, "Unfortunately, I was there when it happened. That's how I knew. But it was the worst with my little bro." Blaze explained that she was sorry. But then I saw her look down from the window. I asked her, "Alright, Blazelle. What's bothering you?" She answered that her parents were captured by Robotnik when she was four and he put them to death. I held her tight and explained that I knew how she felt. Then it occurred to me that if we did something to Robotnik, we might be able to get her parents back. She looked out the window as I explained my idea. "I wish...", my girlfriend murmured. We were almost back home when a song came on the radio that seemed really familiar to me. I then recognized what the song was. It was Amy's and Sonia's favorite song that they wrote, 'Doing Our Own Thing'. I tapped on Blaze. "What?", she asked. I answered her, "Amy's and Sonia's song is on the radio! Oh my gosh!" Blaze said, ecstatically, "Don't keep it so low! Turn it up!" And then she reached for the knob and put the volume as high as it could go. The two of us kept rocking out and having a blast. I threw a bag of money to a homeless hedgehog. That young lady was thrilled. I got out of the car and also gave her a doughnut. Blaze and I both hugged each other. I wondered what channel it was, and Blaze answered that it was literally Amy's and Sonia's own channel. I kept it on for the rest of the drive home. When I drove into the garage, Blaze hopped out of the car. I climbed out, looked at her, and then we burst up the stairs to the lab.
Chapter 8: The Machine
I went over the list with Blaze and made sure we had everything. Then we stood up the pieces of scrap metal and screwed them together. I was tying the little figures into the machine for them to go after, and then I noticed that Blaze wasn't standing there. I looked up. She was putting on Sonia's and Amy's channel. We suddenly started to laugh for absolutely no reason at all. We put the whole thing together and took a robotic mouse and put it into there. Hey, we had to test it somehow! We had to wait ten minutes, but whatever. After the ten minutes, the mouse scurried out- as a living animal. Blaze and I got even more excited. But we managed to sit down and take a break. We decided to watch TV, and she asked for 'I Didn't Do It'. I told her that we'd get my family the next day. But she then got a call from the babysitter. Angel's babysitter had quit. We'd have to bring Angelica with us to Robotnik's fortress, which scared us a lot. She's three years old-she doesn't know better about being quiet. But there was nothing else to do with her. The next day would be our only hope. We were either going to succeed, or we were gonna be roboticized.
Chapter 9: Getting My Family
Blaze stayed at the palace last night. So did Angelica. I woke up with Angelica's face looking straight at my face. She was smiling at me, and then I smiled at her. I said, "Come here. Angel. What are you doing?" She giggled. I held my step-daughter close in my arms. She's three, but she's never spoken one word within those three years... Almost four. She giggled at me again. Blaze then woke up and laughed when she saw our Angel and me. I said, "What? Can't I spend time with my daughter and her mommy?" She rolled her eyes with a smile on her face. I rang the bell and asked for Destiny to get us some clothes. She nodded and brought me some of my clothes. She brought Blaze and our Angel to Amy's and Sonia's old room. Blaze chose a fancy, beautiful, pink, golden, and light blue gown with white, lacy gloves. Her shoes were yellow with a pink, white, and light blue design on them. Our Angel's outfit was a pink t-shirt with a red flower on it, a purple skirt, and these fashionable gloves that don't completely cover her hands. She looked soooo cute! Then we hopped into my black car. Blaze told her daughter, "Angelica, since you don't have a babysitter anymore, you're going to have to come with me and your daddy. You're going to have to keep your mouth shut the whole time we're there. No laughing, no crying, no little noises at all. Do you hear me?" Our Angel nodded her head. I asked her, "Do you understand what your mommy said?" She nodded and pointed out the window at McDonalds. I told her that we'd go the next day. She seemed satisfied. We then got to the fortress. I hate to say this, but I was scared that we wouldn't make it out of there alive. But Blaze reassured me that we'd be fine. We got out of the car and I told Angelica to stay with me and her mother. I gulped as we walked inside the fortress. Blaze and I kept looking around and she spoke after a while, "These poor robots. Ok, seriously, how are we going to tell your family apart from the rest of them?" I thought for a few minutes until my medallion glowed. Then it hit me-my whole family had medallions. That's what I told Blaze right before a robot grabbed my arm. I yanked my arm away from the robot and then I recognized it- the robot was Amy. I called, "Blaze! Grab this robot!" She asked, "Why, Manic?" I answered, "Blaze, this isn't just any robot. Don't you recognize her? It's Amy!" Blaze grabbed my sister and brought her outside. I thought to myself, "One down, five to go. This is actually easier than I thought. Now I just have to find Sonic, Tails, Sonia, Mom, and Dad." Blaze came back just as I found my little brother. He still wasn't completely roboticized, which made me happy. Blaze then helped him to the car. I was even more relaxed after that in a way. Two down, four to go. I recommended that we walk around some more. We got to an elevator and didn't find anybody else yet. I pushed in the code and all three of us walked into it. We just went to the second floor and when it opened, two other robots came towards us. "Manic! Destroy these two robots!" I answered, "Not going to happen, Blazelle. These are my parents! There's no way I'm gonna hurt my parents." Blaze apparently didn't realize that it was my parents, because she kept apologizing. I told her that it was no biggie. We just needed a way to get my mom and dad in the car. Angel tapped on me and tried to lift up my mom. I told her to not try, because she would've hurt herself. Blaze and I went back to the car, brought my parents into the car, and then back into the room we were just in. It was really dusty in there. Angelica made it start to snow in the fortress, and then we saw Sonia. She collapsed in the snow, and I carried my sister to the car. I took a long look at her face. Although she was roboticized, she was still beautiful. I smiled and whispered, "It's ok, Sonia. Don't you worry. You're going to be alright. We're going home." Blaze signaled for me to follow her. Our Angel made it stop snowing and we went up another floor. Blaze asked, "Alright, who else do we need to get?" I answered, "Well, the only one we need to find now is Sonic. And I don't think that he'll be too difficult to find." Blaze agreed with me completely. I looked up... Just to see how many floors there were. There were seven floors! And guess where we ended up? The top floor. I looked around, praying that we'd find Sonic there. And just before we left, I heard Robotnik heading towards where we were. I was half scared, but also half hoping that Sonic was with him. But I still knew better, so I grabbed Blaze and our Angel. We hid under some controls and sure enough, Sonic was with Robotnik. I tiptoed towards them and quickly grabbed Sonic while I signaled for Blaze and Angelica to leave immediately. They left and I followed them. I called, "Nice try, Ro-butt-nik, but Sonic's back to being a freedom fighter. And so's the rest of my family!" I told my brother, "Sonic, I'm not trying to be mean, but I need your speed right now. I'll give your medallion back, I promise you that, bro." I took the medallion off Sonic's neck and put it around mine. I immediately had Sonic's speed. A green speedster! I hopped into the car, gave the medallion back to Sonic, and drove us away. Blaze told our Angel, "Angelica, whatever you do, do not leave your father's lap. You hear me?" Angel nodded and fell asleep in my lap. I smiled nervously at Blaze and looked back. Everybody was either just sitting there, or they fell asleep. I rushed us towards the palace.
Chapter 10: The First Lucky One
I was exhausted when we got to the palace, but I managed to get started. Blaze ran in after me. We prepared the machine and Blaze asked, "Who do you want to do first?" I answered, "Let's start with Tails. He isn't roboticized all the way, so he'll take a shorter amount of time then the rest of them, anyway." Blaze agreed and I ran outside to get Tails. My younger bro smiled at me, and I waved at him. I told him, "There's something that you're going in, I'll tell you now. So don't be scared, because you'll be back to normal soon enough." Tails nodded, which I suppose meant 'okay'. Blaze asked me when I got back inside, "You ready?" I looked at my little bro. I answered, "Yes. Yes, I am." I sat him down in the center of the floor and he stayed there. The metal went up, and the machine was saving Tails... I think. Angel watched, amazed, at all of this. We waited for five minutes, and then the machine stopped and came down. Tails was looking at himself. He was back to normal... None of him was still a robot. Because of both of us, in a way. Blaze put her hand on her heart. Anybody could tell that she was so happy for me. Tails threw his arms around my neck. He held me tight, and so did I. "Thank you, Manic. You were the miracle I'd been waiting for," my brother said. You could tell he was crying, but for good reasons. I told him that I loved him and he smiled again. He answered, "Let's get everybody else done, now." We agreed and headed outside.
Chapter 11: First Girl Done
Tails had begged us to save Amy next. Blaze and I winked at each other and I told Tails, "Ok, Tails. Let's go get her. We'll save her next. Sound good?" Tails nodded and got the adorable sparkle in his blue eyes again. Blaze thought it was adorable, too. We went outside and grabbed Amy. She was trying to attack us before I placed her down. Tails looked sad at our sister and said, "Poor Amy. Don't worry, big sis. You'll be back to normal before you know it." I held Amy to the floor and called to Blaze, "Blaze, turn on the machine! Quick! She's fighting me, here!" Blaze turned the machine on and we waited... And waited... And waited. I fell asleep until I heard nothing. This woke me up, and I looked at the machine. Amy was looking around and looking herself over. She spoke, "What...? How...? Manic, how did you-" I answered, "I'll explain later, sis. How are you feeling?" She smiled, which I supposed meant 'okay' and 'fine'. Our Angel ran to Amy and said, "Auntie!" Blaze and I gasped. Angelica had said her first word. Finally, after her three years. Amy asked who Angel was. Blaze explained that she was her daughter. Amy said after Blaze finished, "Oh! Hey, Blaze! How are you doing?" Blaze nodded and answered, "Hey, Amy. I'm doing pretty good, thank you. You?" Amy gave Blaze a look that meant 'Really? After what happened a few days ago?' Blaze and Amy kept talking to each other when Tails interrupted and said, "No offense, girls, but enough with the chit-chat for now. We've got to save the rest of our family." I agreed, "Tails is right. According to Robotnik's controls, we only have about thirty-five minutes left to save everyone else. If we aren't done with all of them by 12:30, the ones we haven't saved will stay roboticized forever. We won't be able to save them after that time." Blaze ran outside, and I followed her.
Chapter 12: My Parents
We both ran outside and grabbed my parents. We continued back to the house after we got ahold of them. We decided to start with Dad because once he was back on our side, he'd be able to help us. He's a lot stronger than me, so he'll be a big help. Blaze and I held my father into our machine as I told Tails and Amy, "Guys, can you start the machine?" Amy nodded and then turned on the machine. I watched the machine for ten minutes until it stopped. The machine stopped and my dad walked out. Tails, Amy, and I ran into our father's arms and hugged him. He hugged us back. But then Angelica walked up to our dad and said, "Grandpa! Daddy, this grandpa?" I nodded and held my step-daughter in my arms when Dad looked at me. I quickly told Dad, "I'll explain later tonight, Dad. I'm not exactly sure if you're going to be happy though, fair warning." Dad took Mom in his arms and said to me, "We'll talk later, Manic. We need to help the rest of your siblings and your mother." I turned on the machine as Dad placed our mother in it. We waited again for the machine to stop. When it did, our mother was sitting there. She was looking herself over, as shocked as could be. My siblings and I ran towards our mom and hugged her when Angelica again ran up to me. Mom asked me, "Manic, who's this adorable little girl?" I told her, "I'll explain later. Mainly because there's something about my relationship with her that she doesn't exactly know." Mom nodded and said, "Don't even worry about it, honey. Can I take a random guess on who she is, though?" I nodded and replied, "You go right ahead, Mom." She answered, "Okay, I'm going to guess that she's your daughter." I nodded and said, "Sort of..." Then I whispered to my mother, "Mom, she's my step-daughter, but she believes that I'm her real father, and Blaze and I want to keep it that way." Dad looked at me when he discovered that Mom's guess was right. So did my de-roboticized brother and sister. Dad said, "What now? Manic, I told you that you weren't allowed to have any children- including step-children- until you were twenty-one." Mom answered, "Jonathan, it's alright. He's one year off. He's not a kid anymore. He's a young man... Who I am very, incredibly proud to have as my son." I ran into Mom's arms and hugged her again. "I love you so much, Manic. And I'm also very proud of you. You were very brave to go out and get everybody like that." I thanked her again and told her, "C'mon. We've only got fifteen minutes left, and we still have to save Sonic and Sonia." Mom got a worried look on her face, but she nodded.
13. The Final Two
I caught on to why Mom was worried. We only had fifteen minutes until there was no way to save them, and each one of them took ten minutes. But all I could do was hope that the remaining fifteen minutes would just be long enough. Sonia was still out cold, but Sonic was running around like a maniac. Dad snatched up my brother by one of his spikes and then also took Sonia into his arms, too. He carried them upstairs and Mom looked at my brother and sister. She had a heartbroken look on her face, but she was really trying to be confident. Dad put Sonic down on the couch and oddly, he sat still for once in his life. Dad woke up my sister just as I turned on the de-roboticizer. She was trying to attack it. I waited for five minutes and then went off to get myself a hamburger. Once it was done, I went back and sat down on the sofa. After five more minutes, my sister jumped out of the machine in an almost posing position. I laughed, ran over to Sonia, and hugged her. She hugged me tight and then asked, "Manic, how did you..." I told her, "I'll explain to you and Amy later, sis. We only have five minutes until Sonic is permanently roboticized, and he takes ten minutes. I don't know what the result is going to be with him." Sonia was just as worried as I was. We placed Sonic in our machine and just hoped. Everybody was looking at each other, and Tails was standing at the machine, waiting for Sonic to come out. I liked how positive my younger brother was being. I was also proud of him, too. He really is a strong little boy. And I'm saying this about a twelve-year-old- and I'm twenty! But five minutes passed, and the machine was still in motion. I closed my eyes and prayed with all my heart that he'd make it out of there alright. I'd been waiting twenty minutes when the machine suddenly stopped. I opened my eyes, but they still showed that I was worried. Sonic climbed out of there...
He was back to normal.
We all ran over to him and hugged him like crazy. Blaze was proud of us and happy for us.
Chapter 14: Blaze's Parents
Blaze's gold locket opened and two spirits came out. One of them said, "Don't be afraid, princess. I'm sure you don't remember, but I'm your mother." And the other one was her father. I had a feeling that something was about to change. Suddenly, the spirits disappeared and her real parents ran up to their daughter, alive. Blaze jumped into her parents's arms and asked them, "Did you know?" Her mother nodded and said, "A good deed would break his curse, and helping this boy was the needed deed. We knew that someday you would be able to break the curse. Good girl." Blaze was thrilled to finally have her parents back. Then she remembered Angelica and said, "Mother, Father, this little girl here is my three-and-a-half year old daughter, Angelica Blazelle Rosana." They picked up their granddaughter and said, "Blazelle, your little Angel is so cute. Who's her father, my dear?" Blaze said, "Well, Manic is her (whispers) stepdad, (back to normal) but her (whispers) real father (back to normal) was this boy I once knew. His name was Scourge. But things just didn't work out. He began to beat her when she was born. She was born with a twin sister, who I named Sonelia, but she was hurt by her father and she, well, died. When I discovered that it was Scrouge that killed my daughter, I demanded that we divorced. I was already friends with Amy here and when I met her brother, I fell in love with him right away. And he felt the same way, so we started dating right away. And this is where we ended up." She walked up to me and then said, "Without further adieu, Mother, Father, this is Manic, my boyfriend." Her mother said, "Oh Blazelle, he's so handsome! Someday, Blazelle. You two make a an adorable boyfriend and girlfriend."
"More than that," I corrected.
Chapter 15: The Proposal & The Wedding
My sisters and brothers gasped and all smiled. They knew what I was about to do. I knelt to the ground, pulled a black case out of my pocket, and said, "Blazelle, I love you so much. We've been together for a few years now, and we've never broken a single promise that we spoke to each other. Our hearts are in the right place." I opened the case and revealed a golden, diamond ring. My parents gasped. I heard Mom whisper, "Oh, Manic. Go on, honey. Jonathan, those are the same words you said when you proposed to me." I looked at my parents, who my mother had her hand over her mouth. Her eyes had tears in them. I looked at Blaze and proceeded, "I love you, and you love me. So much has happened to us in the past, but everything was good. So, Blazelle Katrina Rosana, will you marry me?" Blaze had began to cry, and then she replied, "Oh, Manic! Yes, of course!" Blaze then stood up straight and said, "I am officially proud to become an Aleena princess. This is a great honor to become one of you." Before I knew it, she jumped into my arms and we kissed. I opened one of my eyes and looked at my parents. My parents were also kissing along with Blaze and me. I was officially going to be Angelica's father, too.
Seven months later...
I walked down the isle with Blaze. Angelica was our little flower girl, and she was being so cute. Our Angel had just turned four last month. The pastor said that we were officially married, and the two of us kissed again. I was with the two girls that were meant for me. Amy was our maid of honor, and Sonic was our best man. We'd asked Tails if he wanted to be the ring boy, and he accepted. A lot's happened in the last seven months. But we were together again, and that was all that mattered. There's been a few sad moments, but nothing serious has happened. Blaze and I still have Angelica, and we've given birth to a little girl who we named Soniana. Soniana has a twin, and we named our other one after Blaze's deceased daughter, so we gave her the same name as the deceased girl: Sonelia. We're a family, now. And that's an amazing thing. I'm lucky to have gotten my family back, and the same with Blaze. We'll be together forever, now.
Dare I say that this is the best thing I've EVER written.
The End...
