Hey, guys! I hope that you enjoy this story! I got the idea while playing "Sonic and the Black Knight". I love the Greek Mythology, and I like Sonic the Hedgehog. Please R&R! Thanks!

Chapter 1

"Get back here, Sonic!" Amy yelled as I sped off, avoiding her big hammer as she tried to crush me.

Someone grabbed one of my quills, making me yelp in pain as I tried to run away.

"Let me go, Shadow!" I snapped, trying to break free of the other hedgehog's grip. "I'm kind of busy here, so I need to go."

"Are you busy breaking girl's hearts?" A female asked. I looked up to see Rouge sitting in the tree above us.

"Stay out of this," I said. "Neither of you understand what it's like getting hit on the head with that damn hammer!"

Shadow slammed my back against the tree. I felt the breath leave my body as I slumped against the trunk.

"What the hell was that for?" I gasped.

"We need to talk," He said. "Now."

Rouge looked just as confused as I felt. She dropped from the tree. "What do we need to talk to him about?"

"I need to talk to him," Shadow said. "Can you go and calm Amy down? I don't need her interrupting this conversation."

"I'm not going anywhere!" Rouge argued. "I want to know what you need to talk about, and I'm not going to leave until I hear it!"
Shadow just sighed. He grabbed Rouge's arm, and ran away. He returned seconds later without here.

"As I was saying," He said. "We need to talk about Soliana."

"What do you mean?" I asked. "I didn't know that you remembered anything about that."
"Why wouldn't I?" Shadow asked. "Rouge refuses to talk about it. She claims that she's never been to that place."

"That's because she technically hasn't," I said. Shadow just stared at me. "I'm surprised that either of us remember it. After we defeated Solorus, Princess Elise blew the Flame of Iblis out. It sent time back, and we were all supposed to forget about everything that happened."

Shadow quietly chuckled. "The only thing that I'm supposed to forget, I don't. That's ironic, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is," I said. "I have three questions to ask you. One, where did Rouge go? Two, why did you need to be so rough? And three, do you think that Silver remembers?"

"Rouge is a little tied up right now," Shadow said. "I made sure that Knuckles will keep her company, though."

I laughed. "They're both going to kill you."

"Let them try," Shadow said with a shrug. "I threw you against the tree to show you just how much I needed to talk to you. I figured that you wouldn't listen unless I did something to make you listen. As for Silver…" He trailed off, and crossed his arms. He looked towards the mountains in the west. "I would guess that he would remember. If we do, then he might. It could easily be the fact that we were all in our 'super' forms within moments of the flame's destruction why we might remember. I figure that our systems were still going crazy, so the time erase didn't affect us."

I tried to process what he was saying. "I think I understand what you mean. Our systems were going bonkers because of the battle against Solorus when Elise blew the flame out, right?"

"Basically," Shadow said. He looked back at me. "I'm getting the feeling that we might have to deal with something that Mephiles and Iblis are planning soon."

"Mephiles and Iblis never existed," I told him. "When we blew the flame out, it meant that Solorus would have never existed. Therefore, Mephiles and Iblis aren't real. They are figments of our imaginations now."

"Figments can't kill people, Sonic," Shadow said. He handed me three photos that I hadn't noticed he was holding. They showed three gruesome deaths. All three of the dead bodies were hedgehogs, and all three of them had some sort of light beam sticking out of them. I handed them back to Shadow.

"What happened to them?" I asked. I felt like I was about to get sick.

"We don't know," Shadow said. "Rouge and I were assigned to find that out. When they showed us the pictures, I instantly thought about Mephiles. This was how he killed you."

I shuddered at his words. I did not want to remember what that idiot shadow creature had done to me. "How do you know that he killed me with a beam of light like that? I didn't even know that I was dead until Elise brought me back to life!"

"I'm guessing that that's how he killed you," Shadow said. "When we found out that you were dead, E123 Omega ran some secret tests, and it showed that your heart had been punctured by something. However, there was no puncture wound. When the morgue removed the weapons, their wounds instantly healed."

"This still makes no sense. I don't even know who killed me," I said.

"I'm guessing that Mephiles did," Shadow told me. "He made his form from my shadow, so I'm guessing that he somehow got some of my attacks. Those weapons look a lot like chaos spears, and I'm the only one who can use chaos spears."

I stood up. "I hate to burst your bubble, Shadow; but I don't think that Mephiles is back. If he was, then I'm pretty sure that we would have known that by now."

"How do you explain the fact that all of the victims are hedgehogs?" Shadow asked.

"The person hates hedgehogs," I said with a shrug.

"You didn't look at the background, did you?" Shadow asked.

He handed me the pictures again, and I laid them on the ground. I looked at the backgrounds. I saw Rouge and Shadow talking to some people, police keeping others away from the crime scene, and red blood splattered on the walls.

It took me a moment to realize that the blood wasn't just splattered randomly. I rearranged the pictures until I noticed the sentence.

Sonic will die.
