{Setting: Flame Core} Silver puts the emeralds away as he quietly turns to Blaze. With a determined look in his eyes, he gives her a nod. Blaze: Well then, let's hurry. I sense his flames. They both step up and towards the path they need to take, but the two young teens both seem to stop and take a second to ready themselves...in an almost hesitant manner. They share a few glances, then despite their goal being at their finger tips...they start their journey silently walking beside one another. Blaze wasn't the only one sensing their enemy...as Iblis could also feel them coming. Monsters erupt from the ground throughout Flame Core. Silver: *watches Iblis’ minions burst up in front of him, but he quickly grabs up debris with his psychokinesis* Heh, no matter how many of you come, it's a waste of time! With their psychic and flame powers, the two blast through their obstacles with ease as they traverse the ruined land. They scale the mountain sides and dash through the caverns. Lava flows in rivers near their feet and flies out from a nearby erupting volcano. As they make their way though the dangerous terrain...someone far behind has been made aware of their presence as well, and is trying to catch up. Nova: *panting as she hops from one rocky platform to another high above a lava pool* How are they here?! They shouldn't have come back! *growls in frustration as she uses her future vision, and she catches a glimpse of Blaze appearing to use the emeralds to seal Iblis away* Wha— what is she doing?! I have to find out! Nova leaps into a cavern that's been emptied of monsters, and touches the floating purple rocks, making them glow and illuminate her path. Upon sniffing the air, she catches a whiff of Silver & Blaze's scents they left behind. Nova: *races through the cave as her ears lower* Stay calm! As long as they don’t destroy Iblis, Solaris will be able to reform! Sealing it away in the future won’t mean anything! And that’s all they’re doing…right? We can still do this— I’ll still be able to change the past!! The thought grips her heart and she feels tears pool in her eyes, but she takes a deep breath and composes herself. Nova continues to pursue Silver and Blaze, running and leaping as fast as her feet can carry her. Nova hightails it through another cave system, leading into a tall expansive cavern, with rocky pillars scattered throughout it, and across the lava pool...there's a large platform with a tunnel. As she hops over to the platform, she finds it's nearly covered in shattered pieces of magma rock...with a strange sense of power fading off from it. Nova: ...wait…is this...? A pained screech comes echoing from the tunnel, causing Nova's ears to perk. Recognizing it as Iblis' cry, her heart pounds as she runs into the tunnel. Weaving through it, she skids to a stop right at the exit...as it leads to the outside, and she's met with Silver & Blaze, some yards away, at the end of a ledge. In front of them, a pillar of Iblis' fire roars through the air, as smoke pours from around it and the lava. Fire rains down, popping and crackling as it hits the rocky ground. The pillar then swirls up and forms a giant, powerful cluster of flames. Nova: ! *gasps and tries to step forward, but her feet become weighted. She freezes in place with a perplexed look.* Meanwhile Silver boldly stands at the edge of the cliff-side, holding the two chaos emeralds near his chest with his arms crossed. Silver: Chaos emeralds…lend me your power! *gazes up at Iblis’ flames* Eternal sun! The living flame that has been entrusted to the royal family! *his arms slowly un-cross as he holds the two glistening emeralds out* Fall into slumber with my soul, Iblis! *his brow tightens as he grips the gemstones* You cursed Flames of Disaster! The chaos emeralds glow bright, and Iblis’ flame is pulled towards them in arrows of fire… Nova: *thinks: What? Him? But…!* …and as the flames hit the emeralds, they attempt to beam the intense power straight for Silver’s soul, but it instead only strikes his chest. He grunts in pain and nearly gets knocked off his feet, but catches himself. Despite holding his ground, the flames refuse to enter, escaping the emeralds to soar around him. Silver: No! Why won’t it accept me as the vessel?! Silver continues to try, leaving himself open, but the fierce resistance whips against his chest, and overwhelms him with power. Blaze watches as Silver trembles, and struggles to stay standing while his legs attempt to buckle. Nova: *winces as she listens him to cry out from the torment* Blaze: *averts her eyes in a thoughtful manner, then looks back at Silver and calmly steps up beside him* … *places her hand on his shoulder* Silver: ! *glances at her* Blaze! Blaze: I’ll take Iblis. Silver: ?! *fully turns his head to her with a concerned gaze* Blaze: *places her other hand on the teal emerald* Don’t worry…my soul is already alit with flames. I will be accepted.
