       [Arc Middle] Keep that Fire Burning
       By: Caroline Bishop Date: October 17, 2016, 8:18 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       (Blaze only unless said otherwise please)
       Another time and place away from where he was moments ago, Blaze
       would find himself suddenly in a very different world to the one
       he was used to. The skies where gloomy and grey, not one patch
       of blue could be found. If he stepped forward, he'd find he'd
       kick up dust and dirt with ease, even in the slightest of
       movements.
       The hedgewolf, upon looking around, might've noticed there where
       buildings all around him. Similar to the wooden huts of
       Knothole, except they where all broken down and shattered, parts
       of the old homes here and there, the dust suggesting that this
       area hadn't been touched in years. The area itself was eerie and
       lonely, the air thick and the wind would whistle unnervingly
       like an almost unheard scream whenever it would pass through.
       A short distance away laid a doll which would have previously
       belonged to that of a child, it too was smothered in aging dust,
       bits of wood from the broken houses splintering its once soft
       structure.
       At first Blaze would be alone, long enough to take in his
       surroundings and check out some things if he wished. But he
       would not remain alone for much longer. The soft sound that
       Sapphire's boots made whenever she moved would soon sound,
       except, when Blaze looked it wouldn't be the Sapphire he knew as
       a friend. In fact he'd see her crazed anti, standing beside
       Nibor, Robin's anti. Behind the two in the distance would be a
       very VERY large structure that glowed with lights. Neither of
       the two held a weapon of any kind or made any threats to the
       Fire weilder however. "Blaze" Crystal would pipe up, her eyes
       wouldn't go to him however. She'd keep them on a spot on the
       ground, and opened wide like she was scared. "You need to follow
       us" She'd say. Finally looking to Blaze with her wide eyes.
       She'd been crying and still was and she looked painfully like
       Sapphire in doing so, a very sad and broken Sapphire. Speaking
       of broken, both the anti's seemed injured. But not by injuries
       inflicted by the Freedom Fighters during their fight beforehand.
       "Please" She'd add, Blaze might've noticed by now, the blood
       trickling between her fingers from the hand she had hugging one
       of her arms.
       Nibor remained silent and there was no sign of anyone else. What
       would Blaze do?

       Before Blaze could finish his sentence, he was caught in a
       blinding light. From the clear blue skies and green landscape to
       a dark and gloomy filled world. The dust covered wasteland was a
       sight to question. Where was he....or was it better to say when
       was he. Looking around a bit, he walked kicking up dust with
       each step. His feet came to a stop by a nearby building that had
       a doll which was also covered in dust. Just what caused all of
       this?
       The sound of footsteps could be heard coming up behind him. At
       first they sounded awfully close to Sapphire's boots. When he
       turned he was meet by Crystal and Nibor. Blaze was almost ready
       to ignite his hands when he saw Crystal's expression. It looked
       just like one Sapphire would give when she was upset. Neither
       held a weapon which made him less hostile towards them. Also
       that tall building in the distance was the only source of light
       around here.
       He noticed Crystal and Nibor were injured retty badly. No way
       that came from Blaze and the others. This was " HER " doing. "
       Alright then....take me to HER....it's time i got some straight
       answers for a change. " he replied as he waited for the two
       antis to lead him to HER.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The anti's looked rather relived at Blaze's answer, expecting
       him to refuse and try to fight them off, but he didn't.
       Nibor would approach him, tapping a button on a wrist device
       much like the one Robin hand. Bright apple green pixels would
       shoot out and wrap around Blaze's wrists, tightening slightly
       before suddenly becoming heavy and solid, just like real chains,
       except they continued to glow a bright green. Nibor gave an
       apologetic look when they tightened, like it wasn't his choice
       that they'd done so.
       "He says sorry, if they're too tight" Crystal would say for
       Nibor before the two would start to lead Blaze towards the
       building filled with lights. "And we're sorry we had to chain
       you. It's to make HER happy..." She would trail off and stare
       off at who knows what, somehow still knowing where she was going
       even though she wasn't paying attention.
       The three where alone aside from each other, for now. Maybe
       Blaze could get some of the answers he was looking for out of
       the two? They seemed rather calm despite injuries, perhaps this
       meant, SHE was not near here for now.

       Blaze stood still as Nibor got close to him and pressed a
       button. When the chains appeared and wrapped around him, he
       could feel the weight on them. However do to Karahl's training
       he barely felt heavy at all. " It's alright, I'm use to it. " he
       replied calmly. This was the first time he seen the antis act
       this way. Maybe not all antis were bad as he thought. Then again
       due to their injuries, it's more like they have something way
       worse to deal with than their opposite self.
       With them being alone for the moment as they walked he figured
       he would try and ask them a few questions. " So what's the deal
       with HER? How did she manage to do all of this? Where are the
       freedom fighters? " he began his series of questions. He then
       thought of one more. " How did she get a hold on you two?" he
       asked.

       By: Nibor Date: October 18, 2016, 5:54 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       At first the two where quiet, probably because Blaze's questions
       brought up bad memories. Both would look aside, gazing to the
       old dusty broke buildings. Crystal would disappear for a few
       seconds before returning with the doll Blaze had. She'd look
       down at it, not seeming to mind the small injuries that holding
       it inflicted.
       On closer inspection, the doll was actually that of a Scourge
       doll, the features where faint but distinguishable. Crystal
       looked down at the doll and brushed her fingers against the
       dolls cheek "We used to live in this village" She would pipe up
       with a soft hiccup, as she tilted her head at the doll. She
       didn't know who the doll was of, even though Anti-Sonic,
       naturally would be the father of Anti-Sapphire, right?
       "Well. At least I think we did. It was so long ago" She'd say
       softly, as she dropped the doll.
       Before it hit the ground, Nibor would catch it. "We shouldn't be
       answering your questions." He'd say, "But I owe Sapphire the
       ability to even speak. But I can't answer you when SHE is
       around" He'd add, still continuing towards the pulsing building.
       "She got us as kids. We don't know who our parents are let alone
       where they are or if they're even still alive." Despite the
       events being mentioned, Nibor Soke calmly. "We where young. We
       where scared. She gave us something to follow. She wasn't always
       like this..." The wild dog would sigh, giving the doll back to
       Crystal, he'd ruffle her hair, "This used to be yours Crystal"
       "Oh. Who is it suppose to be of?" Nibor would shrug to her "I
       don't know, I'm sorry".
       They'd both go quiet again for a few moments, walking along
       either side of Blaze.
       "SHE is the leader of this planet. The AntiFuture and of many
       other places, including what you know to be as Mobotropolis on
       Mobius Prime." Nibor would pause a moment again, they where now
       approaching the building. It was even bigger up close
       The anti's would remain quiet for now again, as they lead ablaze
       into the large gloomy structure.
       Being stopped at the entrance doors by two guards dressed from
       head to two in body suits with helmets that hid their faces. No
       conversation was exchanged between the guards and the anti's,
       the guards simply pulled out weird looking devices. Scanned the
       collars around Nibor's and Crystal's necks before standing
       aside. The doors activating after the collar's where scanned.
       After the trio entered the door slid shut behind them silently,
       and they'd continue their walk, now wandering down a brightly
       lit corridor with walls of white marble, a single long Crimson
       red rug running down the center of the floor.
       "[sub]The Freedom Fighters of this time reside in Knothole, or
       at least. What's left of them.[/sub]" Nibor said gently, his
       eyes darting around the room hallway, soon enough however they'd
       reach the door at the end of the hall, Nibor would press his
       device againt it and wait a moment. [WELCOME HOME... 0017.] A
       mechanical voice would chime up as the doors let them in,
       opening up a circular room. In the center of the room, a life
       sized, perfectly carved golden statue of Sonic the Hedgehog
       himself stood. Sonic was stood atop a podium of white marble,
       like the walls from the corridor before. The statue, although
       beautiful was rather... Odd.
       Sonic's pose for one, was not heroic like you'd expect to see
       from the worlds greatest hero. Instead he was knelt down on the
       top of the podium on all fours, one arm reaching out like he was
       reaching out for help or to help someone else whom had fallen.
       "Here lies Sonic the Hedgehog. Mobius' Greatest Hero. Fallen."
       Nibor would read out, reading the metal plate attracted to the
       front of the podium, bowing his head lightly. "[sub]There's
       another one for you...[/sub]" He'd say to Blaze before pulling
       away from the statue.
       Behind the statue in the same room where three doors. The anti's
       would lead Blaze to the right door, again pressing the wrist
       device to a wall pad, again, the door would let them in. Before
       entering Nibor would turn to Blaze. "Crystal and I will not be
       able to always help you I'm afraid. I'm sorry. You'll be taken
       to where you're going to be kept while you're here by someone
       else. I don't know when we will bump into each other again but
       it'll happen" Crystal would run up and quickly hug Blaze before
       letting him go and turning away. "When you're ready. Enter the
       door I've opened for you. If you have more questions you'll have
       to be quick about it"

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Blaze was surprised the antis were speaking to him at all.
       Usually they were trying to kill them but maybe because they
       were forced? Hard to say really. As he listed to Nibor, Blaze
       looked around the village once more before looking at the doll
       Crystal was holding. It seems Nibor cared for Crystal like Robin
       does for Sapphire.
       So the freedom fighters were still around it seemed...that was a
       relieve but he had to wonder who of the freedom fighters were
       still around. When they stopped at the building, he got to see
       just how tall it really was up close. Looking at the collars as
       the group was scanned was taken into consideration about getting
       through this place. As they walked down the bright hallway, they
       stopped at another statue. This one caused Blaze to freeze a
       bit.
       The statue he was looking at was of Sonic but the pose in
       question....was horrifying to think about. For some reason when
       he looked at the statue it was like it was looking at him back.
       It made him feel as if he wouldn't be leaving here at all.
       Taking a deep breath, he followed the two to another area before
       they stopped.
       He was given the option to ask something but what else could he
       ask them? He had to really think about that.  " You said before
       she wasn't always like this.....what was she like before all
       this? What drove her to do this?" he asked Nibor as he returned
       the hug to Crystal before she backed off.

       By: Nibor Date: October 19, 2016, 9:11 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Nibor held his breath a moment before sighing gently, "She was a
       leader rather then a tyrant. Still a bit forceful but kind and
       caring. Or at least was a little bit. Unlike now. She was a bit
       of a beacon of hope for here, the anti world, we thought she was
       helping us but.." Nibor glanced back at the statue. "She only
       worsened the problem we already had after-" "Tssss!" Crystal
       would grab at her head and hiss as she clenched her teeth, her
       pupils shrinking. "You need to go, she's close. Don't tell
       anyone about Crystal and I, do you understand? We will help as
       much as we can but for now, you must go" He'd say, looking over
       his shoulder before he gently pushed Blaze through the door and
       closed it. The last thing Blaze would've been able to see would
       be Nibor trying to help Crystal up, as she'd fallen onto all
       fours with her hissing, and someone else 's shoes coming into
       view behind the pair.
       Blaze was now in a rather dark area of the building. The lights
       where off and the place seemed empty. He was in another hallway
       again this one seemed to have doors all across the right wall
       and some red tinted windows across the left. The red carpet
       continued along the floor, going all the way across the hallways
       floor, as well as meeting up to each door it led off to.
       "Blaze the Hedgewolf right?" Seems Blaze wasn't fully alone. A
       single light would flick on, at the other end of the hall was...
       Was that Nibor? No... Sure looked a lot like him though.
       The mobian held twin axes, both axes where different in colour,
       one had a green strap the other, black. Both looked dangerous.
       The mobian wielding them would sling one onto her shoulder, the
       other rested against her hip as she looked over at Blaze and
       tilted her head. "Not like Nibor to be late, even by a minute or
       so. Come. We've wasted enough time already" She'd gesture for
       him to follow her.
       After he'd gone through the door, his chains had disappeared,
       probably by Nibor's doing or because the connection to the
       device was lost. Blaze was no longer restrained.
       The wild dog would tilt her head again, this time the other way,
       grazing her axes against the floor, "Or do you have other ideas
       Firedog?"

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Blaze took all what Nibor said and nodded gently to the wild
       dog. So he was able to get a little info on the cat. It wasn't
       much but it would have to do for now. Then Crystal began to hiss
       in pain. He was just about to ask if she was alright but Nibor
       pushed him into the other room with the door closing behind him.
       He heard the footsteps and sighed a little. Perhaps he bit off
       more than he could chew. With a small sigh, he glanced around
       the area before hearing someone call his name. His ears stood at
       attention as the light down the hallway turned on. The person at
       the end looked like Nibor but was a female. The axes she carried
       looked pretty dangerous but he had faced worse before. If he had
       his sword, he could at least put up a better fight.
       But perhaps this girl wasn't looking for a fight. His chains
       disappeared rather suddenly and he was able to move them again.
       That was a plus at least. He kept his promise to Nibor he
       wouldn't say a word so he simply followed the girl a few feet
       behind her.
       " So who are you? " he asked a bit puzzled. " You know me but we
       just met..." he added.

       The girl mobian seemed slightly disappointed in that Blaze
       simply followed, no fight included. She'd sling her axes back
       onto her shoulders with a sigh of sorts, before turning back
       towards the door at the opposite end of the hall to where Blaze
       had entered, leading him since he was following.
       She'd smirk lightly at how he chose to walk a few feet behind
       her though "Why so far away boy? You walked so close to 0017 and
       0015. Do I scare you? " She would let out a muffled laugh of
       sorts, her tail flicking, "Who am I? You could say I'm similar
       to Nibor. I'm 0624. Or... Knowing how you Primes are. Nnybor if
       you REALLY have to go by a.. name" Nnybor would look aside,
       reaching the door she'd place her right wrist to a control panel
       on the wall to the side of the door like how Nibor did before.
       The door would open and she would usher for him to follow her,
       their path now split two ways, a right and a left way. Nnybor
       went right, glancing back to Blaze as she went around the
       corner. The right path had rooms sectioned off by glass all
       along it, not just along both walls but up them as well. At the
       start of each wall was an elevator, assumedly for people to be
       able to reach the higher rooms. Most the rooms where empty and
       most where filled with marks, scratches, dents, and all kinds of
       things made by someone trying to escape.
       One of the lower rooms was occupied though, by a canine male
       mobian who looked about Blaze's age if not younger. He had
       somewhat pale green eyes and a creamy yellow coat with chocolate
       brown markings on the tups of his ears, tail and along his
       nosebridge, accompanied by a fluffy white muzzle and thick hair.
       The mobian would put a hand against the glass if Blaze had
       followed behind Nnybor. "Ignore the prisoners" Nnybor would say
       as she simply walked past them, heading for another door at the
       end of the hall. If Blaze wanted to go left, he'd find another
       hall, with another door at the end of it, the door didn't seem
       to have a control panel to the side of it. Which way would he
       go?

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Blaze said nothing as Nnybor talked about him. There was a
       reason he was keeping his distance but he choose to let her
       believe what she wanted. Instead he began to take mental notes
       about his surroundings. When he was led to a new area, he looked
       at the different rooms.
       Each one had some form of damage to it. When he saw one
       prisioner, his ears lowered slightly. How could this be
       sapphire's future? He gritted his teeth slightly as a small
       spark escaped his breath as he sighed. He took note on the other
       pathway as well as the whole collar system. It seemed like those
       collars weren't just for show after all....
