But first: Sonic meeting the lying descendant.
Sonic: You won't escape this time, Eggman!
???: ... ... ... Ha ha ha.
Sonic: Hey, what's so funny?
???: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed, but you... You seem to have me mistaken for someone else...
Sonic: What? Are you out of your mind, Eggman?
Negative: Ha ha ha. There you go again. But in the end, you will be destroyed by... Dr. Eggman Negative Robotnik!
Okay, back to Deadline Zone.
[Dead Line. Sonic is facing Eggman Nega inside the space station.]
Sonic: We won't let you get away this time, Eggative!
Negative: Ha ha ha. I don't have time to chat with you right now...
Blaze: The last Sol Emerald... Give it to me!
Sonic: Blaze?
Eggman: Hmm... I never thought you could be so tough! But I'll never give up this last Sol Emerald!
Blaze: Long time no see, Negative!
Negaive: Oh Blaze, my dear. I didn't expect to see you in this world. It seems Eggman has made a mistake.
Blaze: ... So you guided Eggman to our world.
Negative: Ha ha ha. It's best to get someone else to do the dirty work. I've been waiting for him to return with the gems. I couldn't care less what happens to your world.
Sonic: Hey, Eggman. Looks like you're up to no good, as usual.
Eggman: Sonic! Get in line. I must beat this cat again. Then, when I have the emeralds, I'll have ultimate power...
Blaze: ... ... ... You stole the Sol Emeralds, and jeopardized my world... Just so you could get "ultimate power"?! I'll destroy you!
Sonic: That's pretty harsh.
Blaze: He's my opponent, Go away!
Sonic: No can do. There's a few things I owe him as well.
Blaze: I said I would resolve this on my own. I must protect my world! And I don't need anyone's help!
Sonic: Hey, chill for a second. You're way too tense.
Blaze: Why are you still here? If you won't leave...
Sonic: Hey, are you going to fight me?
Dr.Eggman: Oh my, what a nice development. Maybe they'll take each out!
Negative: Ha ha ha... This ti-er, World is so entertaining. I just might like it here.
[Sonic and Blaze jump away from each other.]
Sonic: Stop it, this isn't going to change anything!
Blaze: What do you know? I am the guardian of the Sol Emeralds... It is a fate that forces me to live with my curse, my flames... Because of my powers, I have always been alone... It's also why I must do this alone! It is my responsibility!
Sonic: Carrying the entire world on your shoulders?
Blaze: Enough!
[Sonic and Blaze clash using their Super Boost and Fire Boost, respectively.]
Blaze barely wins. If she wore flats, that "barely" wouldn't be there.
[Blaze jumps towards Eggman's Egg Mobile while performing a flaming spinning kick.]
Blaze: Give me back... [Kicks the Egg Mobile and Eggman away] The Sol Emerald!
Eggman: Whha! I won't forget this!
Blaze: Hmph!
[Eggman's Egg Mobile drops the purple Sol Emerald as the doctor flies into the distance. Blaze grabs it.]
Blaze: 7th Emerald retri-re... ugh.
Sonic: Hey, not bad. Can you stand up?
Blaze: I... I must save the Sol Emeralds. I must...
Sonic: A bit overzealous, aren't we? (But it seems like she's had a rough past.) Listen, don't bite off more than you can chew. And be yourself. Don't need to do everything on your own.
Cream: Blaze!
Blaze: ... ... ... Perhaps... Perhaps you're right. I can rely on friends, if I let myself...
Sonic: Great! I am Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. It's nice to meet you.
Blaze: I-I'm Blaze. It's nice to meet you too.
Sonic: Man, things sure are looking depressing lately.
Blaze: Led by the Sol Emeralds, my world has begun to enter yours.
Sonic: What'll happen to our two worlds?
Blaze: Our worlds can't co-exist like this. Eventually, everything will disappear.
Sonic: We've got to come up with a solution fast!
Blaze: Eggman and Negative! We don't have any time left... Cream, let's go!
Cream:...
Sonic: Hey, where's Cream?!
Blaze: !?
Tails: Sonic, I've got bad news!
Sonic: What's wrong, Tails?!
Tails: Cream's been kidnapped by Eggman!
Blaze: How do you know?
Tails: I found this letter...
Blaze: Let me see it.
Eggman's Letter: Mwa ha ha ha. This is Dr. Eggman! I have taken Cream. If you want me to return her... Blaze must come to Point W alone!
Sonic: Darn Eggman!
Tails: It must be a trap. You better not go alone!
Sonic: Blaze, you stay here, In your condition, you...
Blaze: But... Okay, then. Yes. I'll... rely on you. You handle Negative. I'll take Eggman. Because she's my friend, I must save Cream myself.
Sonic: Smart thinking! Okay, let's go, Tails!
Tails: Got it, Sonic!
Both docs have their own Kings.
[Day. Sonic stands triumphant over the ruins of the Negative King, whilst Blaze digs through the Egg King.]
Blaze: [Searches through the wreckage] Cream! Do you hear me, Cream? ... She's not here. [Looks up] Huh?
Cream: [Falls down from the sky] Blaze!
[Blaze and Cream move in to hug each other.]
Cream: Thank you for saving me!
Blaze: Don't mention it! W-We're...
Cream: Friends! Right?
Blaze: ...Yes. We're friends.
Sonic: That was easy!
[Tails and a bunch of animal friends come running in.]
Tails: Sonic, good job!
Sonic: Hey, everyone!
[Sonic sighs, seeming both relaxed and worried at once, while Cream and Blaze hug each other in the background. Tails picks up on Sonic's behavior.]
Tails: What's the matter?
Sonic: Uh, nothing.
Knuckles: [Walks up to Sonic] Hey Sonic, I think you better split now.
[Amy comes running towards Sonic.]
Sonic: Eh? Amy!
[Sonic runs away from Amy, who now has pulled out her Piko Piko Hammer, while Tails and Knuckles watch.]
Sonic: Tails, Knuckles! You take care of things here!
Amy: Sonic! Where are you going? Don't leave me!
Tails: At least things are back to normal.
