Sonic Boom: Travels (Shadora)

Chapter 23: The Royal Siblings

"You didn't have to make me jump like that!" Aurora snapped at the royal twins. But Blitz and Aster only laughed and hugged each other. "Wow. For coming back from a boring parent meeting, your reaction takes the cake!" Blitz commented. 

   "Wait, what?" Aurora replied, confused. She raised one eye, and watched as Aster walked around her. Observing. "Hmm. You're an interesting opponent." he said. He stopped and looked at her face to face. What does he mean by "interesting"? Aurora thought as she kept her distance.  What were these two troublemakers up to now? 

   "Huh?" she questioned. "Meaning you're the first competent to ever survive a serious battle with us. That's impressive." Aster explained. 

   "Yeah! Congrats!" Blitz added, quickly shaking her hand. "We gotta fight again some time! You're one tough chick!" 

   This was just confusing now. First they attack her and her friends because they think (or what she assumes they thought) she stole the Sol Emeralds, now they're suddenly friends? "Err...thank you?" 

   "What's wrong?" Blitz asked, letting go of her hand. "Are we too intimidating for you to handle?" 

   "No, of course-" Aurora tried to say until Aster interrupted her saying, "Well, if you don't like us,  I suppose we can just go. Let's go little sis." 

   Blitz joined her brother, and they were getting ready to teleport. In disbelief, Aurora said, "Wait!" The twins looked at her. She still couldn't believe it. Their crimson eyes, were just like Shadow's.

   "I was just about to go look for you. To ask a few questions." 

   Blitz then blurted out, "An interview?!" Then Aster took her hand and said, "We don't have time for some lame paparazzi right now. Unless it's for a mission to save our dimension from absolute doom." 

   "You mean how to find the Sol Emeralds, and make-what did you say?" Aurora replied, even more baffled.  

   "Ugh, fine. But you're going to be under our watch until you help us out." Aster said as he and who was apparently his younger twin sister Blitz grabbed both of Aurora's hands, and pulled her through the hallways. 

   Both of them had incredible strength! But still, Aurora had to get some answers. Maybe she could figure out why the Sol Emeralds were so important to this universe. 

————————————

Aurora came to face a huge door that was three times her size (she's three feet), and it was blue. "Bliss should be in here." Blitz said as she let go of Aurora's hand, and touched the door. She then put her ear to it, and smiled. 

   "Who's Bliss?" Aurora asked the two kids. 

   "Our little sister. She should be training right now. In this room." 

   "Training on what?" 

   "Open this door, and you'll find out." 

   Aurora stopped. "Wait, why me? Aren't you two her older peers?"  

   "For the honor of being our most recent guest, you get to meet her at first glance today." 

   Aurora could hear the children snickering, but took no thought in it. She opened the door to see a pool room. She found a little hedgehog, hands glowing and big bubbles of water floating around the room. She also looked like she was meditating, as she floated right above a rug, in front of a half empty pool. 

   It's her. The younger telekinesis princess! Aurora thought as she gazed at the girl who was focusing on keeping the lumps of water together. She acted a little like Sora does with her staff.
