Burst of Blue, Flare of Gold – a Collection of Flash Fiction

Notes: I know I already have a drabble collection, but those are all over 1,000 words. I have a habit of writing things that are less than 750 and I didn't want to mix those with my longer works, so I decided to just make another story. Besides, flash fics are so much fun. You should try it. ;D

This particular passage is an interpretation on the opening on Sonic X. It's open ended because the rest of the show follows it and I felt it was a suitable opening chapter for this collection here. Enjoy.

Chaos Control – an influx of energy so large and uncontainable that it causes a huge power spike, large enough to sweep people, objects, planets up and transport them somewhere else. There are only a few who can control this phenomenon, and only because they understand the very basis of the Chaos Energies and have the capacity to give themselves over to it, to become one with the Energy for a small amount of time.

I, of course, am one of these few. And, I suppose, this is my story. Or rather, our story.

Every story, from fable to novel, is about the different person. The one individual who breaks the norm and changes the game, influences the conflict, overcomes the hardship, is interestingly different. They drive the plot, from the exposition to the resolution, with their strangeness. I am the different one, this time.

Of course, I've always been different. From the moment I was born, with the ability to become one with the wind and the Chaos Energy dancing on the tips of my fingers, I was special.

I forged my own way, made friends, fought off an egomaniac equipped with a battalion of robots, and saved the planet multiple times.

However, doing all of that never prepared me for what was to come.

A blast of bright light, incredibly intense and searing that, for half of a second, I was sure that I was going to go blind. Of course, the fact that I could see things in the light changed that thought in an instant.

But, we'll get back to that, I'm sure.

All that matters now is that, in that one instance, I lost everything that I held dear…

And it was replaced.
