{Setting: Crisis City} Silver: *dodges the golem’s attacks, then sees a large shadow cover the area* ! *looks up to see a building coming down and flies out of the way* Iblis’ minions dive into the ground to dodge the collapsing structure. They reappear in Silver’s path as Iblis goes to tear down another skyscraper. Pieces go flying and Silver catches them to bash in the smaller monsters. His breath burns hot as he pushes himself to the point of his body painfully straining. Nova: *thinks as she leans in with an anticipating look: What’s the matter with him? Why won’t he just back off?! Doesn’t he realize he can’t take much more of this?* … *her eyes glow again, then widen in shock* HEY WATCH OUT—! Silver: *yells out and whips a car into a golem’s dome, destroying the final minion* But as the hedgehog goes to catch a breath, two skyscrapers slam down on both sides of him, and Iblis goes to tear down a third structure right for him. It comes down fast, instantly blocking him in. Silver: ! *raises his glowing hands* Before the hedgehog can attempt to catch the building, a giant pillar of fire erupts from the street in front of him. It rockets up and shoots straight through the structure, obliterating it and sending flaming pieces soaring through the air. (#) Silver: Huh?! *stumbles back in shock* Silver rears his hand back defensively, prepping it with a glow to eliminate the flame pillar, but his narrowed eyes widen at the sight of a silhouette in the flames. A thin figure with large ears and a long tail. Silver: What the…? The fire pillar subsides to reveal a lavender cat in a pristine royal purple tailcoat, standing confidently in her pink heels on the uneven ground. Silver eyes her suspiciously as flames continue to swirl around her, but notices Iblis pupils sharpen in a furious manner at the sight of the feline. Nova: *has to blink excessively as her eyes strain from the shifting visions, then she awes in confusion at the new face* Who is that? Iblis growls, and rears up as fire fills its mouth. Silver: ! *comes out of his daze and hurries to try and grab the girl* She doesn’t waver as Iblis swings its head down for her and belts out flames. Her hands raise and Iblis’ fire splits down the middle. It misses her completely as it’s sent flying past her sides. Silver skids to a stop as it sails past him as well, being protected behind her. Silver: *awes as his mouth gapes speechlessly, and he looks at the cat again* The flames taper off from its mouth as Iblis grows tired. Before the monster can even lift its head, the girl takes a ready stance with fire surrounding her. She rockets off, spinning like a top, straight for Iblis’ third eye. Nova: OOH! *covers her eyes in second hand pain and lowers her ears at the sound of Iblis’ cry of agony* With a graceful back flip, the cat girl lands back onto the street in front of Silver. Both of them watch as Iblis staggers…and collapses into the lava pool at its feet. The storm around them subsides, and embers float out from the demon’s eroding body. Silver’s attention soon leaves Iblis to admire the girl in front of him. Glowing cinders gently illuminate the cat as they glide by, while the flames around her vanish. Despite the intense fire that surrounded her body, her clothes show no sign of ash or singes. Though, it wasn’t only her undamaged clothes that were unusual. Everything about her was extremely clean and immaculate in appearance. A very foreign look in a place such as this. Silver: … *though a glisten of wonder and curiosity remain in his eyes, he still cautiously steps back and narrows his gaze* …who are you? The cat turns to reveal her soft white face to him, along with a pair of golden pupils in eyes lined with thick lashes. A small red gemstone rests on her fore head, and her long hair is held up tight in a high pony tail thanks to a red bangle. There’s a faint clink sound as when she turns, her gold necklace shifts with her. Nova: *cautiously hops closer and leans from a building’s ledge as she raises her ears* ???: My name is Blaze… *her eyes quickly look him up and down* …and you must be Silver. Silver: *his quills raise as he glares* How do you know my name? Blaze: *gives him a serious look and speaks with a stern tone* I will answer any questions you have about me to ease your mind…but not here. Haven’t you noticed we’re being watched? Silver: Huh? *looks around* Nova: ?! *ducks down behind the building’s ledge and whispers to herself* How does she know?! She never even looked at me! Blaze: Not only that…but we should find somewhere for you to rest. You look exhausted. Silver: *opens his mouth to object, but as he stares at her, he oddly can’t manage to keep ahold of the distrust he has* … *hesitantly nods in agreement as he adjusts his wrist cuffs* …where I live isn’t far from here.
