Hello everyone. Welcome in the fourth story. Sorry for the long wait, but I wasn't in the mood for writing. But let's get started already, right after the Disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Sonic the Hedgehog Character or Locations(Angel Island and so on...)

Chapter 1: Who is that guy?

Time is something what can not be changed. It flows always at the same rate, and nothing can ever change it's speed. The future where we are heading is always relative, but even I, a time traveler can not change the flow of time. Nobody is able to do this. Or at least that's what I thought.

Years have passed since we last saw Mephiles. I know it will sound weird, but I really miss him. Ever since then we fought against Eggman with Sonic and Shadow. Heh, that guy never learns. It started as an ordinary day, when it all happened. We had fun, until we saw one of Eggman's new creations flying above the city, heading for Angel Island.
"Hey Tails, prepare the Tornado!" Sonic said
"Right away." He said, and run off.
"Are you sure you don't want to try out my way of flying again?" I teased Sonic, and for that he gave me a painful look
"No thanks. I still remember what happened last time." He said holding his head, as the pain renewed

Flashback

"Don't worry Sonic, it is not that hard." I said trying to calm him.
"But I shall not have a solid ground under my feet." He whined
"You asked me to let you try. Do you want to chicken out now?" I asked
"I SHALL NOT!" He said. I must have hit a nerve.
"Then it's all yours." I said, and surrounded him with my psychokinetic field. This is the last result of my constant training. I can let others fly trough my telekinesis, without the need of guidance from me.
"All right, here I come." He said, and jumped up. He stayed in the air, floating. "Hey, that's kinda cool!" He said finally enjoying himself after a minute of uncertain try to maintain balance.
"All right, the whole control thing is simple. You can change your direction by moving your center of weight. If you move it right, you will turn right and so on." I gave him the basic instructions.
"Cool" He said, flying around me. "Hey, this is piece a cake." He said, and flown up in the sky.
"Sonic do not rush. You should practice more before a real flight." I said trying to get him down
"I have natural talent. Just call me the flightmaster." He said with overconfidence, and sped up until that pole came in front of him. He couldn't go around it, and he hit it head on. He fell down from the sky, and he hit the ground. He lessened the force of the impact with... his face.
"Nice job, flightmaster..." I said, and laughed hard.
"Remind me to never try this again." He mumbled
"Don't worry, I will make sure to always remember you for this."
"Jerk"
"What did you just said?" I asked, and prepared for throwing him to the pole.
"Gotta go!" He said, and ran away.
"You are never changing..."

End flashback

"You really sucked. Just like Shadow." I said
"An another word, and you're dead." Shadow said. 'I didn't even noticed him coming here' I thought
"OK, OK I'm done." I said nervously, holding up my hands for protection. "By the way, when did you came in here?" I asked with my hands still in the air
"Just long enough to hear everything."
"Guys, we're set." Tails voice came, but soon the sound of the Tornado's engine filled everything.
Sonic jumped on the wing, and Shadow activated his advanced shoes, and soon we were in the air.
'I have to admit, Shad's shoes are pretty cool since Tails upgraded them.'
Soon we were abowe Angel Island, and Spotted Knuckles fighting some robots. "Leave them to me." Shadow said, and soon, he was right next to Knuckles. We reached the Master Emerald's shrine, and saw as one of Eggman's ugly ships lifting it up.
"That guy never learns?" I asked Sonic.
"Nope, but without him this place would be pretty boring."
"It's easy for you to say, Mr. Free Wind, but I have a job. You are lucky I have this day off."
I have this job for 6 months now, and I have to tell, I love it!I am building in a construction site. They pay me for lifting up stuff where it is needed. It is cool, because I have 2 in one. Most importantly, I get paid, and then I can also train with my psychokinesis. I need the money, because Blaze and I now have our own house, and we have to buy the stuff we need. Food is not just appearing on the table of we say abra-kadabra(A.N:magic word, in the medieval it "used to be" the spell against sneezes).
"HEY, EGGHEAD!" Sonic yelled for Eggman, who instantly frowned.
"Not that hedgehog again." he said, and started to flee, with the Emerald still in the air.
"Follow him, Tails" Sonic said. And he turned after the flying mech.
As we were chasing him, we flown abowe Shadow and Knuckles, who defeated the Robots in the meantime, and Shadow soon rejoined us.
"Can't you two do anything without me?" He asked.
We flown above the edge, and we started a drop.
"Why is he heading downwards?" I asked them
"No idea bro, but I think he don't want to fall that much when we blow this stuff up." Sonic answered.
"At least he learned that one." Shadow added.
"And again... HEY EGGHEAD!" Sonic said, eventually yelling at the end, jumped to Eggman's robot, ran down, got the emerald, and was ready to jump back. All of this under two seconds.
He jumped, and tails directed the tornado to catch him. But in the very same moment, the robot launched somewhere about 200 missles, and 2 gigantic rays of lasers heading for Sonic, who didn't even saw them heading his way.
I almost pulled up a barrier, but then... "He disappeared?" I asked confused seeing him gone, just a nanosecond before I could pull up the shield.
"WHAT THE-?" I heard sonic asking in surprise from somewhere to the right. Tails found them immediately, and soon he was catching him and a tiger with the plane.
I saw them speaking, and then the tiger just collapsed. I flown there, trying to help. As sonic was barely able to hold both of them in the plane.
"I'll get him safe, just finish off Eggman." I said, and levitated the tiger from him.
"Thanks bro, I owe you one." Sonic said
"With this, you owe me fifteen."
"All right, all right."
I had no time to waste, so I flown back to Angel Island to keep the guy out of harm's way.
I put him on the ground next to Knuckles and said
"Hey Knux, the guy have something wrong with him. Please take care of him. No time to explain."
"Ok, just go already" He said, and I headed back to the field of battle.
I just got back in time to see Sonic and Shadow finishing off the robot, what is disappeared in a huge explosion. Soon Eggman's hovering thingy...'I still don't know what to call that stuff' I thought, just flown out of the cloud, and eggman yelled: "THIS IS NOT THE END, YOU PESKY HEDGEHOGS, I WILL RETURN WITH AN EVEN BETTER ROBOT!"
In that moment I grabbed him, and pulled him out of his escape pod.
"Going somewhere?" I asked
"Let me down!" He ordered me, but it's not like I would ever obey.
"Nope, but I could throw you back home, if you want to."
"N-No need for drastic steps, Silver. Just make it nice, and careful." He said as his coward self just took the control.
"What should we do with him?" Sonic asked jokingly
"I say bury him alive, with only his head out of the ground" Shadow said in his serious tone, but we knew full well he was joking
"No need to do such tings." Eggman said
"I agree." I said grinning "He doesn't liked the flying lesson, nor the grounding, so I say make him learn to swim..." I said
"I chose this!" Eggman said, knowing full well the fire would be the next element.
"OK." Sonic said, and pointed to a nearby lake. I threw him in there.
"Please catch a cold, so we will have a few weeks of free time without you messing around." Tails said, and we headed back to Angel Island to see the tiger guy.
When we arrived, Knuckles said:
"He is in a good shape, but extremely exhausted for some reason." and added "He should be okay if he wakes up."
"WAKE UP!" Shadow yelled at the tiger.
"Who is this dude, Sonic?" I asked
"No idea Silver, but he saved my life." Sonic replied, and both Shadow and I looked at him dumbfounded.
"He is waking up." Tails said, and we looked at the tiger.
"Yo dude, you all right?" Sonic asked
"Yep. I just overdid it." He said
"Overdid what?" Shadow asked curiously.
"Saving his ass." He said jokingly.
"Thank you, By the way my name is-" Sonic started, but the Tiger soon interrupted him.
"Sonic." He finished his sentence. "You are all famous, so no need to introduce yourself."
'We are famous? Cool!' I thought for myself.
"Good, because I hate formalities." Shadow said.
"Nice to meet you guys, but where are we?" The unknown tiger asked
"On Angel Island." Knuckles said from behind him, and he quickly turned around.
"You must be Knuckles the Echidna." He said, and Knuckles proudly looked at him. He always loved when people recognized him.
"I surely am!" He said with pure pride
"Victoria!" The tiger said, as he realized something. Maybe a friend of his."Could you bring her up here too?" H asked tails.
"Do you let her knuckles?" Tails asked him
"As long as you two do not mean any harm, then it is all right."
"How does she looks like?" Tails asked
"Well, she is an unique sight. She is... um... how should I put it..." The Tiger searched for the right words.
"Just tell us what she looks like, it's not that hard." I said
"OK, She is light blue, with darker blue at the end of her hands and legs, and... oh she is half... fishlike..."
"fishlike?" I asked

"Yep. She is half Mobian, and half from the blood of the underwater people. Long Story, I will tell."
"Is she beautiful?" Sonic asked him teasingly.
"Don't even think about that. She is my girlfriend" He said, and we stood there jaws dropped.
"I think I go to the Tornado." Tails said still in shock in order to avoid further awkwardness.

After ten minutes that Victoria girl stood beside him in awe of the Island's untouched natural beauty.
As soon as we saw her we knew what that guy saw in her. She was very nice. She greeted us with a warm smile, and introduced herself kindly. He was also quite beautiful, but she is nowhere compared to Blaze, if you ask me. She looks just like every other Mobian except the swimming webs between her fingers.
"So, your girlfriend is here, so time to explain a few things." Shadow said looking angrily at the tiger.
"Ask, and I will answer." He said, and Shadow stepped closer, and stopped just in front of him, looking at his eyes in a way, that if he could kill with staring, that tiger would be dead 6 or 7 times.
"How the hack is that possible that even I didn't saw you coming?" Shadow asked and he was... nervous? I saw he had a hard time accepting this very fact. "How the f**k is that possible that you appeared out of nothing?"
"You... didn't saw him?" I asked in shock, realizing what it means. Shadow is almost as fast as Sonic, and he see even him completely clear. Then how can it be he didn't saw him?
"You didn't-?" Sonic asked in the same state as I was.
"Let me introduce myself then." The tiger said, and then disappeared, and his voice came from behind us "My name is David. David the Tiger." He introduced himself. We all turned around in shock.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Sonic yelled "EVEN I DIDN'T SAW HIM MOVING!"
"HE DIDN'T MOVED A MUSCLE!" shadow said, and stared at him still in shock.
"This is impossible!"I said hardly able to be heard by him.
"It is a long story." David said.
"We have time." Sonic said
"Me too. In fact, I have even more time, than you. You see, I can manipulate the elapse of time."
"WHAT!?" The five of us yelled at the same time.
"No way!" Tail said
"Impossible" Knuckles shared his disbelief.
"So you can travel time?" I asked
"Nope. That is something I never done before. I mean, even I can't. The ting is, if I want I slow down, or speed up the elapse of time..."
"Explain this further, as I don't understand." I said
"When I appeared behind you without a warning, for you it was less than 1 nanosecond, for me it was more than ten. I just walked around you."
"That's how you done this!" Sonic said. "So I'm still the fastest thing alive!" he added with delight.
"Why do I think you enjoy this too much?" I asked Sonic.
After that, David told us the Story of his life, and Soon, Victoria told hers too. It was quite unbelievable, but we accepted it after a few minutes. We encountered some weird creatures, and gods ourselves.

So we're finally back in Silver's PoW. IF somebody doesn't know David and Victoria, you should read the third story from David's PoV.
