"It all began several centuries ago… But now, it seems to be more like a nightmare than reality," Said a mysterious figure in brown cloak looking down on a nearby village, "And it's about time I fix that!"
"Stop playing around Sonic, I know you're more powerful than this – Fight me like a man!" Shadow said with a slight grin on his face.
"Don't get your panties in a knot; I've only just gotten started!" Sonic said dashing forward toward Shadow throwing a punch.
"Too slow," Shadow dodged Sonic's punch by ducking down then three an uppercut counterattack. "You're going to have to try harder than that."
"Your fast...But I'm the fastest thing alive." Sonic flipped backwards to dodge the uppercut, that only scrapped the tip of his nose.
"Its time to put an end to this!" Shadow pulled out his green Chaos Emerald from hammer space.
"Alright, bring it on buddy!" Sonic as he spun his blue Chaos Emerald on his finger.
"Chaos-!" Sonic and Shadow said simultaneously.
"Boys! Dinner is ready!" Tikal said waving at them.
"Tomorrow, you won't be so lucky." Shadow said walking toward his house.
"Yea, yea. That's what you always say," Laughed Sonic sniffing the air. "I smell chili dogs... With relish!"
A blue blur passed right by Shadow then an ominous aura like wind caught his attention causing him to stop in his tracks. It was strange to him; he has never felt such a strange force before. He looked around slowly sensing that someone or something was out there watching. Shadow was right, a mysterious figure in a brown cloak was watching them but from a very high and far away tree. Shadow continued walking with his guard up and on high alert.
"Shadow, what took you so long? You're not hurt are you?" Tikal asked sounding a little worried.
"No, I'm alright. It's just that I felt something out there, like someone was watching us the entire time and didn't make himself noticeable till a few seconds ago." Shadow said while trying to figure who or what was out there.
"Or maybe you're just being a big baby because I kicked your ass. Besides if there is anything out looking for a fight, I know we handle it." Sonic said.
"Sonic is right, I know you will protect us if something were to happen." Tikal said bringing in the food with Sally.
"Silly Tikal. My precious hero would save the day, and then we will get married and have a wonderfully happy family together." Sally said, lightly blushing as she started sitting on Sonic's lap while feeding him.
"Your so called 'hero' is a complete dumbfuck." Knuckles said walking in with Julie-Su hugging his arm.
"Why the hell are you here and who fuck invited you?" Shadow said.
"I'm here for dinner-"
"And invited him." Tikal Interrupted.
"Lighten up Shadow, we are all friends here-" Julie-Su said.
"Wait! Someone please tell me no one invited Amy!" Sonic interrupted looking around.
"No, I saw her earlier at mall and she was buying a dress that was absolutely adorable with a pair of red high heels." Julie-Su said while shrieking with a blushing smile on her face.
"Seems like to me, she's over you Sonic so there's nothing to worry about. If that stalking whore even comes near my precious blue hedgehog - She's fucking dead!" Sally said in an angry and bitter voice.
There was a quiet moment of silents.
Meanwhile at Station Square
"Ugh...Why do I have to carry all these bags for?" Silver asked feeling extremely worn out from shopping all day.
"Its what boys do for girls when they are shopping together, and if you are a good little hedgehog - I will wear that sexy black lingerie dress you picked out." Blaze said kissing his cheek gently.
Silver blushed when she kissed his cheek and was utterly speechless. Blaze smiled and giggled when she saw him blush. He stopped in place looking around cautiously, feeling strong negative thoughts coming from someone nearby. The negative thoughts kept creeping closer and closer to them. Suddenly Blaze felt a chill wave of dark chill run down her spine. The two had no idea what was going on and what was causing them to slightly panic like this. The mysterious figure appeared right behind Silver, before he could notice a light blue sphere of energy struck him in the back.
"Silver!" Blaze screamed before she was hit with a light blue energy sphere as well.
"Blaze, no! You're going to pay for that," Silver quickly said while getting back onto his feet. "I don't care who you are but no one hurt Blaze and I mean no one!"
"Well good to see one of my fellow brothers can still fight," The Mysterious Figure said. "Are you friends with these two?" He held up a newspaper photo of Sonic and Shadow.
"Yea, so what of it? What do they have to do this?"
"If you are aligned with them, then you, my brother, must be destroyed along with them. I'm sorry; I promise to make your death as painless as possible. Forgive me," He held out his palm directed at Silver. "Aura Sphere!"
"I don't this so," Silver caught the Aura Sphere with his psychokinesis then threw it right back at him with full force.
"Ah," The Mysterious Figure grunted but appeared to had taken no damage. "Brother why do you fight back, let me send you to the next world so your sins can be washed away."
"I don't know why the hell you are but IM NOT YOUR BROTHER!" Silver used his psychokinesis to throw a Hummer H2 at him.
"Then die," The Mysterious Figure drew a white-ish blue, razor-sharp, double-edge longsword, with a downward curved bronze gold guard; black leather woven around the handle, from hammer-space and sliced the Hummer in half. "For conceding with the enemy and stealing those powers from one of my fellow brothern - I pronounce you guilty and you will die by my sword-"
"Not if I have something to say about it!" Blaze said, shooting a barrage of miniature fireballs at him.
The Mysterious Figure dodged and blocked with his sword while trying to keep his cloak from catching on fire. Silver and Blaze backed him into a corner. He looked around to see there was no way of escaping unless he fought his way out. Just when things looked bad, a flash of lightning lit the night sky and it started raining. That was his chance to turn this around.
"Well hit me with biggest fireball," The Mysterious Figure yelled the holding his arms. "Or are you just a PUSSY BITCH!"
"That idiot!" Silver said as he jumping back to avoid what was going to happen next.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH, BURN! DIE, DIE, DIE!" Blaze screamed with all her angry might, forming a huge fireball in her palm.
As she shot the fireball, he stood there calmly. Before the fireball had gotten to him, the rain had extinguished the flames. Blaze, just now noticed the rain, was caught off guard then was struck with two aura spheres simultaneously; sent her flying across the ground. Silver ran over to Blaze's side and stared down at her almost liveless body. He held her in his arms tightly as if she was going to die.
"Give me the artifact now and I will spare you two." The Mysterious Figure said, slowly pacing over to Silver and Blaze.
"Artifact? Wait! You're not getting your hands on the emeralds and I will never tell you where they are," Silver said, laying Blaze's body back onto the ground. "Rest easy, this will all be over soon."
"If you won't tell me what I need to know then you are of no use to me."
"Before we continue, what is your name?"
"My name is lost in time, to be forever forgotten in history - You may call me, Knight."
They stood there, not moving an inch, waiting for the other to make a move. Time slowly progressed; the sky had cleared up and showed the full moon was shining down on them. Knight slightly moved his leg, and Silver quickly reacted by launching a powerful wave of psychic energy at Knight. He blocked with his sword but he was sent flying, crashing into and a through an outlet store's wall. Knight stood back up, but he was amazing by Silver's powerful attack. Knight walked through the hole and looked at Silver.
Knight swiftly threw an aura sphere, as it came closer to Silver, the sphere morphed into a pinwheel like shuriken. Silver caught the shuriken with his psychokinesis then directed it to the sky but left himself wide open. Knight took that opportunity and dashed over to him at the speed of sound then punched Silver in the gut, knocking him off his feet. While at close range, Knight blasted him with an aura sphere.
"UGH!" Silver grunted falling to the ground seriously injured.
"Now, parish for your crimes." Knight aimed his palm at Silver as he charged an Aura Sphere for a final blow.
"Freeze and don't move!" The police commanded while surrounding Knight.
"Sorry, I would love to stay and chat but I have mission to complete." Knight shoot the charged Aura Sphere into the air to create a signal flare like explosion.
When the light faded, Knight was long gone. The police called an ambulance to rush Silver and Blaze to the hospital for emergency medical examinations.
The next morning Sonic and his friends had gotten word from Amy that Silver and Blaze were attack in Station Square late last night then were sent to the hospital for emergency care. They rushed over to see what had happened to them, but Shadow went to go check out the scene. He saw a lightly destroyed outlet store, and a vehicle sliced in half. He could tell this was not just your ordinary random encounter with any regular enemy, and no one they have faced before could've done this.
At the Hospital
Everyone crowded around Silver's and Blaze's bed. At first they didn't know what to say, since Silver was lucky and barely escaped with his life. Blaze suffered much less damage from the fight but was still injured.
"...I'm...alive..." Silver said opening his eyes, seeing everyone around him.
"Yea, buddy, everything is going to be a-ok." Sonic said trying to lighten up the atmosphere.
"What happened to you?" Knuckles asked.
"Some person or thing, going by the name of 'Knight', attacked Blaze then me. He showed me a picture of Sonic and Shadow, and asked if I knew you two, but he never told me why exactly. One thing I do know, he's after the emeralds." Silver replied weakly.
"Well now we know what he is after, but the only leads to more questions like, why did he attack in the first place." Tails said.
"He's not getting his hands on the Chaos Emeralds, that's for sure." Knuckles said.
"We can't be too sure of that; the enemy who attacked Silver was a professional. There's not a trace of him left at the scene." Shadow said walking into the room.
"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.
"Whoever attacked Silver was no amateur. It was not a random either, he must've known what he was looking for," Shadow leaned up against the wall. "Is there anything else you can tell us?"
"He fired energy spheres from his hands, it was similar to your Chaos Spear attack and his sword looked ancient like it was made hundreds of years ago" Silver replied trying to sit up.
"Did you get a good look at his face; was there anything you can tell us about his appearance?" Knuckles asked.
"Sadly no, I didn't... He was wearing a brown cloak and had the hood on while fighting," Silver held head down a bit. "I couldn't do anything... Blaze almost died and I couldn't do a damn thing-"
"I know you tried, Silver. You gave it your all last night to protect me." Blaze said as she walked in with Amy behind her.
"Blaze..." Silver glance over at her.
"Silly hedgehog, weither I died or not, I was happy you stood up and protected me. I love you Silver." Blaze smiled warmly at him.
"I love you to Blaze." Silver warmly smiled back at her.
