Sonic Dimensions (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 6

Dr Starline closed all the rifts surrounding the kingdom, and walked into the result of his attack. Buildings were destroyed, the castle was half taken apart, and there weren't any people left. He smirked and spun around, stretching his arms out.
"So much space to stretch my legs!" he called out, letting out an exaggerated sigh, "What a lucky kingdom!" He chuckled to himself and began to skip joyfully to the castle, the door caved in.

He stepped over the destruction like he were performing a small dance, and strode into the dilapidated hallway, the cloudy skies visible through the holes in the wall.
"And such a lovely view too," he remarked, "oh dear princess Blaze, you really have outdone yourself."

He finally reached the throne room, making sure to touch each crumbled pillar just to make them fall. A dirty velvet carpet covered in rubble lay down in front of him, and he let out a small, playful gasp.
"For me? Oh you didn't have to!" He twirled around, laughing. He felt so important for once, though nobody could see him. His childlike wonder couldn't help but show itself as he slowly wandered down the throne room, checking his nails. He had to make sure he looked alright for the emeralds he were soon to get ahold of. He tidied up his hair, his eyelashes, his tuxedo. For some reason he had always wanted to be a princess, though it's usually a woman's title. He was deep down, a woman that is. Despite having masculine pronouns, he was in fact a trans woman. Though he preferred to express himself in a more masculine way, hence his pronouns and his tuxedo. He still wore eyeliner, that was somewhat feminine. But he always loved makeup.

He finally reached the throne, which he threw to the side easily. He twiddled his fingers in the air with a grin, about to open a box which hid behind the throne.
"Now, you little box, open up for mommy~!" He flung the lid open.

And it was empty.

"What..?" He stepped back. No. No he had them! He had them in his hands! He was so close! "That stupid cat!" He slammed his fist down on the chest, but he only dented it and hurt his hand. "AGH! FOR THE LOVE OF LIGHT GAIA!"

The land expanded out before them, and Blaze lead Silver and Elise as they had no choice but to press on. Nothing was safe to go back to. The princess instinctively reached out to hold her arm, but when she ended up gripping onto her side, she remembered what had happened beforehand and just whimpered. Silver looked at her with an expression of worry.
"I'm alright," she reassured him. She then looked forward at Blaze. "So that was the Sol Kingdom?"
"It was my kingdom," Blaze responded, "I was the queen, my mother died of undisclosed causes a while back. She wasn't exactly the best person..." The cat glanced at Silver, who remained quiet, but gave her a certain look. Elise didn't know what look it was however. "I have no idea what that person's intentions are, but—" Elise interrupted her.
"I know what he wants to do."

The duo stopped walking and looked at her, interested. "He... He used to work for a doctor. He wasn't able to reach the Warp Topaz's full potential around them, but something happened to them and now he can do what he wants. He wants to travel to different dimensions and collect different emeralds to see how much power he can gain. He says it's like..." she furrowed her eyebrows, confused at what she's about to say. "...being a goddess?"

"He's a woman?" Silver asked. Blaze shook her head.
"Girls can be masculine too, Silver."
"That explains a lot," the girl smiled, "he referred to himself as female a lot and I got really confused since he also used masculine pronouns on himself."
"A woman who speaks in third person is usually narcissistic," the white hedgehog commented, but was shushed by Blaze.

"If the Warp Topaz can create rifts to different dimensions with the power it has now..." the cat spoke, "with the Sol emeralds, he could possibly create ones to different universes entirely, possibly planets..." She sighed, pulling on one of her gloves. But her eyes looked determined. "For as long as I survive this, I shall make sure the Sol emeralds never fall into his hands."
