Sonic: Adventures of Areion

Episode 54: Aiming High

Blaze the Cat was currently moving along the dirt path through the rolling hills with Wendy, Cream, abd Milla trailing behind and chatting, having where the next Sol Emerald is located. She was snapped out of her thought upon hearing something flying overhead and looked up to see some sort of bird then something leapt from it and landed on the ground close to them.

Apparently, he is a human like Wendy but slightly older with whirlwind-shaped hair and a lynx appeared next to him, Blaze took not of Wendy and Milla becoming nervous at the sight of the boy as well as having the strange feeling of familiar towards him.

"I finally found you..." the boy then glanced at the girls "You do know that the others are worried about you now."

"S-Sorry Areion." Wendy and Milla said.

"So...you're Areion Matsukaze." Blaze said with a steady gaze.

"We wish to ask you if you know anything about Eggman Nega." Nicole said.

Blaze frowned in response "That is none of your business, this is my responsibility which i shall deal with on my own."

"I would have to disagree with you on that Blaze, this is a problem involving all of us." Areion said with arms crossed.

"The space-time continuum has spread and is getting bigger as time goes, and I am sure you are aware of this too." Nicole added.

"..."

"So, there is a connection between you and Eggman Nega."

"What are they talking about?" Milla asked confusedly.

"I don't know." Wendy answered.

"I said this is MY problem, so don't bother me!" Blaze spun round and took at high-speed and leaving behind a trail of fire which soon dissipated.

"Oh, wait for us Blaze! We'll see you later! Areion! Nicole!" Cream said befor grabbing Wendy and Milla to fly after Blaze by flapper her ears.

"Cream, w-wait!" Milla cried out but they were soon gone.

"Seem that she does know what is happening but refuses our help, we will need to go after them." Nicole noticed that Areion hadn't responded and turned to see the teen looked rather unfocused and tapped his shoulder "Areion?"

Areion blinked for a moment before turning to Nicole "Huh?"

"Are you okay? You were not responding earlier."

"I'm okay, just got something on my mind."

"You may say that, but it bothers you that Blaze didn't show signs of recognition towards you. Don't forget that the time rewrite from the Solaris incident would have erased her memories of you and the events back then like th others, save for you, me, Sonic, and Elise." Emerl pointed out.

"I know...but I was kinda hoping that she would recall something if she saw my face." Areion thought.

"Well you should shelf that for later and focus on the current situation as of now."

"Fine." Areion then spoke to Nicole "We'll need to go after them, any ideas where they would go to."

Nicole hummed for a moment before projecting a holoscreen with a swipe of her hands to display a map, she looked around then pointed at a certain spot on the map "There is a high-sped elevator not too far from here which leads to a zone above us called the Altitude Limit, this must be where they are headed."

"Either that Eggman Nega is over there or she's looking for something. Let's get going, Dragoon!"

A loud boom sounded them said air glider flew through a black hole to hover next to him to hop on top of it as it increased its power output for higher acceleration and rapidly ascend to the sky with Nicole sitting on his hair in her faerie form. They sound burst through the cloud bank to come upon some kind of flying fortress surrounded by numerous clouds.
