Sol Emerald

The Sol Emeralds are mystical gems from the Sol Zone, (presumably that zone's alternate counter to the Chaos Emeralds), and are protected by a princess of that zone known as Blaze the Cat. Recently, the Sol Emeralds have disappeared and Blaze has attemted to collect all of them. After being haunted by dreams of a mysterious "Blue One", (Sonic the Hedgehog), and a mad man named Dr. Nega, Blaze set out to Mobius Prime via the Cosmic Interstate to locate Sonic. While exploring outside of Knothole Village, Blaze was attacked and captured by SWATbots, the mechanical soldiers of Dr. Eggman. She eventually managed to get free after the robot "doctors" who analysed her realised she wasn't from their zone, and then encountered Sonic who came to rescue her. To make sure Sonic was the "Blue One" she was looking for, Blaze engaged him in combat. Sonic defeated her by cancelling out her pyrokinetic with a vortex until she almost ran out of her, and then offered to help her. Blaze then informed him that she had been looking for him, only to vanish in a blaze of fire, saying she would "haunt your dreams the way you have haunted mine!", leaving Sonic confused. A while after, Sonic and his friend Tails were taken to the Sol Zone in a storm and were marooned on Seagull Island where they were found by Marine the Raccoon. Marine revealed to the duo about a gang of pirates under the command of Captain Whisker looking for treasure on the island, which turned out to be a Chaos Emerald which Marine had already found and had with her. The gem was snatched right out of her hand by Whisker's top agent, Johnny, who began to boast about himself in front of the trio and then flew off. Along the way, Blaze encountered the trio and they began to investigate and look for clues to Johnny's whereabouts. Eventually, they managed to find Captain Whisker and the man he was working for, Dr. Nega. What happened next remains uncertain, but they managed to get the Chaos Emerald back from Johnny and Sonic let her keep it to help her find the Sol Emeralds and returned home. Blaze has since managed to retrieve some of the Sol Emeralds, but still has more to find. (StH: #160, #161 SU: #1)
