Prologue: A Different Dimension

"Eggman, come back here!" an angry voice yelled. A purple figure could be seen with fireballs lit in the palm of her hands as she ran forward gracefully after a mechanical, levitating craft. In the craft was an egg-shaped man clad in black with a large, brown moustache as he cackled in response to the girl.

"Think again, Blaze, dearest! The Sol Emeralds are mine!"

The lilac cat growled angrily and leapt up towards the man's aircraft and let out a battle cry. "Eggman Nega, give them back now!" she yelled, spinning into a swipe kick as fire surrounded her feline body.

A crashing sound was heard as her white and purple boot made contact with the metal, as bolts and other pieces in order to have put the craft together flew out and into the open air. Eggman Nega struggled to regain his balance as his craft started smoking, so he floated away back to his main airship. "I'll come back for them, Your Highness!"

Blaze cringed at the title he used, dropping down to the soft soil and grabbing the different coloured emeralds into her arms. Sighing, she slowly walked back towards the palace, a soft glow slowly appeared, a gentle rainbow of colours reflecting off her white gloves.

When she finally got back to the castle, she was greeted by the guards who bowed their heads respectively, while she nodded in response. Walking through the halls, she didn't notice the glowing of the emeralds still, instead choosing to just stare ahead as she navigated her way to the room she was looking for. When she finally got there, she moved past all the high security and placed the emeralds in the respective, black holders, light emitting from the flaming staffs which were hung on the ancient brick.

Finally taking notice of the glowing, she stepped forward curiously, and squinting in concentration as the rainbow of light got stronger, shining against her own golden eyes.

"What's going on?" she whispered to herself, touching a blue coloured emerald gently. "The Sol—"

She never got to finish her sentence, cutting herself off before she blinded by a bright, white light. She shrieked loudly, alerting the guards and other occupants of the castle, including her good friend Silver who shouted her name as he tried to grab her hand.

"Blaze, hang on!"

A gust of wind surrounded the purple feline, lifting her form above the ground as her fur and jacket was flying all over the place. Silver's eyes widened, hands immediately glowing an aqua colour while an aura of the same colour surrounded her, attempting to pull the princess of Soleanna back to the guards.

"Hurry, Master Silver!" the captain of the guards, Captain Wentworth exclaimed worriedly, glancing at the ruler of his homeland. Wentworth was a tired looking lion, main all fuzzy and blowing around wildly from the wind as Silver tried to stand his ground instead of being pulled in with her, his quills swaying as well.

"I'm trying!"

Soon enough, a wisp and a popping sound was heard, revealing a large circle with purples, oranges and yellows swirling about inside it in a complicated pattern. Everyone in the room was panicking now as Silver concentrated harder to pull his friend back.

It didn't help.

"Take care of the kingdom until I get back!" Blaze shouted, being sucked in by the vortex. "And guard the Sol Emeralds!"

Silver's eyes were swimming with panic and concern, but nodded in promise anyway. "I will, I promise!"

She smiled gently, motioning for Silver to let go of his concentration. "I'll be okay!"

The guards and Captain Wentworth were all protesting against the courageous cat's decision, but Blaze knew that Silver wouldn't be able to hold her there much longer.

"I'll be fine! Be safe!"

With her last words, she was sucked into the portal before another popping sound was heard, letting the occupants of the room know that the vortex had closed. Silver collapsed onto the hard ground, pounding his fist onto the brick. "Dammit!"

"Your highness!" Wentworth yelled, running forward and banging against the wall as the guards tried to calm him down.

"She'll be fine, sir!"

Silver stood up, looking at them determinedly as he tried to catch his breath. "She'll be fine, she's strong enough."

In a burst of colour, Blaze was tumbling through the vortex which was seemingly like a long tunnel, gasping at how the different shades mixed together. She was a little frightened, but a ruler like herself had to stay strong.

"Calm down, Blaze…" she told herself reassuringly, trying to calm herself down.

After a few moments, Blaze's body met with hard ground, letting out an 'oof' as she landed. Feeling the sun on her back, she turned around to face the blue sky, lifting up her left arm to shield the sun away from her eyes.

Groaning, she stood up and looked around what looked like a village. The place looked deserted, as it looked pretty early in the morning. Blaze groaned again, brushing herself off as she walked about curiously, heels clacking against the ground. "Where am I?"

Rounding a corner, she looked up at a sign which seemed to be above a shop. 'Station Square Bakery!' the sign said, giving the feline that she was indeed in a place called Station Square.

"There's got to be a way to get back, though…"

"Blaze?"

Her ears perked up at the sound of her name, eyes making contact with a pair of friendly brown ones. "Vanilla!"

"What are you doing here, dear? I thought you had gone home?" the tall rabbit asked, concern filling her features as she held a basket in one of her paws.

"I have no idea, ma'am."

A/N: I came up with the idea of this story when I was watching TV, when an advertisement for the movie 'Notting Hill' or whatever it's called came on, and I'm like, "Yep, story time!"

I've never watched the movie so hopefully I don't copy it in any way. I hope you enjoyed the prologue and Chapter 1 will be up soon!
