Okay, I'm back! Though this is not a direct sequel (though some parts I follow Shadow), this takes place after Triple Shadows, so it's a good idea to read that story first (and review). This also introduces a few more of my oc's (trust me, I have a lot, but most won't get into the series) I would like to thank my good pal Nicki for helping me come up with this :)

It had been half a year since the arrival of Tikal, Ciel, and Gemini.. No one knew the whole details of what happened back at Eggman's base, but clearly, it didn't seem too important. As far as the story went, Shadow and Gemini had almost killed each other, and Shadow had somehow changed Gemini's mind. Gemini was now one on their side. Sonic, meanwhile, had successfully saved the others, and calmed down Ciel without much harm. Ciel had made no mention of what he had seen of Sonic's memories, most people not even knowing he bit Sonic at all. Ciel was on their side too, seeing as Gemini and his brother was.

Things had been generally quiet around Station Square, aside from a few unsuccessful attacks by Eggman. Sonic was currently at Shadow's apartment, which was shared by the three brothers. Knuckles and Tails were also there, all of them bored on a rainy day. Currently, they were trying to agree on a tv channel.

"No way! I refuse to watch any more lame reality shows!"

"Why are these adds so stupid?"

"Hey, where's my coke?" It had been like this for the last hour, no one agreeing on a show. Finally, it ended up on a news channel.

"Last night, the laboratory owned by J. Robotnik, father of Dr Egg...er..Robotnik, blew up last night." the news reporter said.

"Eggman's old man has a lab?" Knuckles asked to no one in particular.

"Lame Robotniks," Shadow said dully. "Change the cha-"

"No! Hold on a sec," Sonic said, an unusual look of concern on his face.

"The source of the explosion is unknown, but most likely due too the dangerous chemicals stored there. There is only one survivor, a hedgebat by the name of Scorge. Here we have Dr. Egg-Robotnik..."

Sonic just stared at the tv screen, a look of disbelief on his face. He whispered something under his breath, but it was drowned out by the reporter, who was interviewing Eggman.

"Uhm, Sonic?" Ciel walked up to Sonic, now waving a hand across the blue hedgehog's face. "Faker, Ciel to faker? Are you okay in there?"

"I have to go," Sonic said, soon running out the door, only a blue streak to show that he had been there.

"What was that all about?" Knuckles said. "Tails?"

"Don't look at me," Tails said. "I don't have a clue what Sonic's thinking, or who Scorge is."

Well then, I think I know where we might find out," Shadow said, grabbing his emerald. "Chaos Control!"

They appeared in front of Sonic's house, Amy Rose knocking on the door. Blaze and Cream followed behind.

"Amy, what are you doing here?" Knuckles asked. The pink hedgehog turned to the boys.

"Looking for Sonic," she said. "I thought he might be home."

"Well, he's not," Shadow said. We know where he went to, but we don't know why. We were thinking we could-"

"If you're even thinking about looking at Sonic's things without his position, you won't! I'll make sure of that."

"Listen, Amy," Gemini said calmly. "This is really important. Besides, we could tell you where he is and why, just as long as we can go in. We'd even help you get to him afterward."

"Well in that case, I guess so. Follow me!" Out of nowhere, she pulled out a key, using it to unlock the door before going inside. Shadow stared at Gemini as the others went in.

"We're helping her get Sonic? What are you thinking?" Shadow asked Gemini.

"I never said when we'd help get Sonic," Gemini replied slyly. "For all we know, it could be years from now. Anyways, after you."

Shadow, Amy, and the others soon entered the room. Amy stood in awe, as if she was a kid in a toy store. Shadow walked over to Sonic's dresser, opening drawer after drawer.

"Bingo," he said, finding the drawer he was looking for. He started grabbing pages, throwing them aside once he decided they weren't the right ones.

"Shadow, what are you looking for?" Ciel asked Shadow, who was still tossing out papers.

"He might have a letter about that kid. Or a file. He keeps all his papers here, in one big mess."

"And...how do you know all this?"

"When treasure hunting with Rouge, you can learn some interesting things. Aha!" Shadow had finally found the paper, a letter of sorts. He quickly read the paper, his expression changing from joy to suprise

"What is it?" Gemini asked Shadow, whose mouth was hanging wide open. Ciel, Knuckles, Tails, Cream, Blaze and Amy crowded around the dumbfounded hedgehog.

"Scorge is...Sonic's kid!"

Oh my gosh! Sonic a father? What does it mean? Come back next chapter if you wanna find out. And please review!
