SILVER THE HEDGEHOG: IBLIS

Disclaimer: I do not own the sonic characters, just the OC's

Chapter One: Hopeless Future

It has been two hundred years since Sonic and his friends raced across the legendary Babylon Garden and things have only gotten worse since then. Eggman had perished in a cataclysmic explosion, taking Tails, Cream and all of Station Square with him. Knuckles died from an unknown disease that was said to be caused by long exposure of the Master Emeralds power. Devastated by Knuckles death, Rouge went mad and took her own life. Shadow was assassinated by an unknown assailant and Kumori went missing. Amy was never found and Sonic died of a broken heart. And that wasn't even the worst of it. For reasons unknown, the entire world was slowly being burned away by an eternal flame that could not be taken out.

Now, two hundred years later, the world was dark and bleak with no hope of living. The skies were always black and the city was covered in flames and lava. But floating high above the flames was the final hope of the world ever returning to peace. This final hope was a 14 year old grey hedgehog with two arching quills sticking out of his back like Sonic and Shadow, five quills sticking out of his forehead with two longer quills sticking out of the back and white fur mane that reached from his chest, all around his neck and to his back. He wore white gloves with cyan circles on them and golden bracelets. He also had black, white and teal boots with golden bands at the top of them. He was Silver the Hedgehog, the psychokinetic hero of the future. Silver was using his psychokinetic powers to float around the city to search for his most hated enemy

"This world was devastated before I was born. A harsh, bleak place. Where we are forced to live in eternal fear and darkness. Life is a struggle and people live on without hope. How did this happen? No one will answer me directly. But they always point...to the flames" Silver narrated. While Silver was floating, a large spike of flame erupted from the surface of the earth in front of him. Using his psychokinetic powers, Silver created a screw of energy to get rid of the spike. "These flames. They burn away at my world, destroying everything in there path. They come from an eternal life form that we cannot truly defeat. The flames of disaster known as Iblis." Silver continued his narration. "Silver!" A female voice called out his name.

Silver looked to the side to see a young female jumping across the buildings rooftops. The female was a 14 year old Lavender cat with four tendrils of hair being binded together by a red ring and a red jewel embedded in her forehead. She wore a violet coat with a golden collar (could be a necklace, I'm not sure), white form-fitting trousers, white gloves with fur-lined cuffs, a pair of magenta and white shoes with fur-lined collars. She was Blaze the Cat, the pyrokinetic heroine and Silver's best friend. "Blaze! What's wrong?" Silver questioned. "He's appeared again." Blaze said as she pointed to the direction she came from. With a look of determination in his eyes, Silver flew off into the direction that blaze pointed with Blaze following close behind.

After flying over the entire City, Silver found himself staring at a large tornado of flames that had erupted from the earth. Blaze jumped down from the building she was on and landed next to Silver. "So, where is he?" Silver asked. "he's here. I can feel it." Blaze said calmly. Just then, several tiger like creature made of lava and rock jumped out of the tornado and landed in front of Silver and Blaze. "Told you he was here." Blaze said.

The lava tigers jumped and the duo, But silver used his psychokinetic powers to push them back. "Come on, you infernal beasts!" Silver yelled at the lava tigers. Unknown to Silver, a group of fire birds flew behind and dived right at him. "Silver! Behind you!" Blaze warned. Silver looked back at fire birds that were diving at him, but he too busy holding the lava tigers to defend himself. Seeing that her friend was in danger, Blaze used her pyrokinetic ability to cover her entire body in flames and leaps off the ground. In the air, Blaze held her claws out and twirled into a fiery tornado to strike at the fire birds and destory them. Seeing that he was safe, Silver flung the lava tigers to the nearby wall and destory them.

"You really need to watch your back, Silver." Blaze said to him. "I can't do everything on my own." Silver told her. "I know that, but it would make me fell better if I knew that weren't always in danger." Blaze said. "Do you not realize it by now, Blaze?! Every seond of our lives is filled with danger and if we don't take a risk, we will all die!" Silver yelled in anger. Blaze held her head down in sadness. It was not often that Silver would yell at Blaze with so much anger. Something must be upsetting him. After seeing that his words had hurt Blaze, Silver was about to apologize until he noticed that the firery tornado had disappeared.

Blaze then snapped out of her sad state and says "he's here!" Just then, a large humanoid monster made of lava and rocks with four long arms and an armored demon head appeared from the lava below. It was Iblis, the flames of disaster. Iblis gave out a mighty roar as he was once again faced with his inferiating enemy, Silver. "Come on you monster!" Silver challenged

Iblis started attacking by opening its chest and luanching a barrage of fireballs. Silver used his psychokinetic powers to create a force field that protected him and Blaze from the assult. "Silver! Aim for the the armored head! That has to be its weak point!" Blaze shouted to Silver. "Got it!" Silver shouted back as he released the force field around them. Iblis once again released a barrage of fireballs from its chest, but this time, Silver used his psychokinetic powers to catch them in midair. "I think these belong to you!" Silver shouted as he threw the fireballs back at Iblis head. Iblis roared in pain as his own attack backfired.

"Take that!" Silver boasted. Angered by Silver, Iblis grabbed a the road next to him and broke off a section of it. "I can tell that is not good." Silver said. Iblis then threw the section of road directly on Silver. Silver tried to stop it with his psychokinetic powers, but the road was too heavy to hold and Silver was a sitting duck. Before the road could fall on Silver, Blaze jumped out of nowhere and pushed Silver away in time. Silver saw that he was safe, but Blaze was not so lucky. To save Silver, Blaze had to take the hit for him and was buried underneath the rubble. Silver quickly ran to her side and asks "Blaze, are you all right?!" "Silver, I can't...move." Blaze said weakly before she blacked out.

Silver was now furious. Iblis had nearly killed his best friend and was not about to let this monster get away with it. Using his rage to fuel his psychokinetic powers, Silver lifted all the rubble off of Blaze and lunged it at Iblis head. The combined force of the attack broke off all the armor around Iblis head. Silver picked up to knocked out Blaze in his arms and set her down in a safe location away from Iblis. "I promise, I won't let anything happen to you." Silver said quietly to Blaze before running back to fight Iblis.

Silver had returned to finish off what was left of Iblis. "I am going to make you pay for what you did, you monster!" Silver yelled at the flames of disaster. Iblis reeled back it ugly head before throwing it back to breath a large stream of fire at Silver. Silver used his psychokinetic powers to create a force field to protect himself from the fire, but was losing strength fast. Silver knew that he wouldn't be able to hold up the force field for long and needed to come up with a plan. Out of the corner of his eye, Silver saw a fireball that Iblis had luanched earlier and thought it was his only chance of survival. "I hope this works." Silver said as he used his psychokinetic powers to pick up the fire ball while still holding up the force field. With a quick motion of his hand, the fireball landed dead center at Iblis head to stop his attack.

Silver released the force field and collapsed to his knees from exhastion while he watched Iblis sink back into the lava, defeated. Silver has able to gather enough strength to get back to his feet when Blaze had returned. "It looks like you stopped him for now." Blaze said to Silver. "But he'll just rise up again from the ashes like it always does." Silver said as he banged his fist into a nearby pole. "What's the point of all this? It'll never end." Silver said hopelessly. Blaze had figured that was the reason why Silver had been acting strange lately. It was hard to imagine, the very person that had given her hope was now giving up his. "Calm down, Silver." Blaze said calmly to her compainion. "Then tell me what we should do. How can we completely destroy Iblis?" Silver questioned. "By knowing the truth, of course." A shadowy voice came from behind.

Silver and Blaze turned around and looked up the rubble to find the mysterious newcomer. The newcomer appeared to be exactly like Shadow, only his fur was lighter, his highlights were grey and he had no mouth. "Just as a flower comes from a seed or a chicken from an egg, everthing has an origion." The Shadow copy said. "You need to find the being origionally responcible for this catastrophe." The Shadow copy continued. "Is that really the answer to our problem? Tell me, do you know who it is?" Silver asked. The Shadow copy stared at Silver for a moment before jumping down in front of him.

"To fix this current timeline, you need to change the past first." The Shadow copy said. "But, that's impossible." Silver stated. "With my help, you can. You see, I hold the power to travel through time itself." The Shadow copy said. "No way!" Silver said in disbelief. "To change the past, you must first eliminate the idividual responsible for freeing Iblis in the first place. The Iblis Trigger." The Shadow copy said. "If I eliminate that guy, will our world be saved?" Silver asked. The Shadow copy nodded his head and says "The Day of Disaster. It was that day, 200 years ago, that Iblis was freed from his seal. And you have this person to thank for that." The Shadow copy then handed the purple chaos emerald to Silver.

Silver grabbed the chaos emerald and soon saw an image of Sonic standing in the middle of a field of flames appeared in his mind. "I see it! So, that blue hedgehog is the Iblis Trigger?" Silver questioned. "Blue hedgehog..." Blaze said. The blue hedgehog sounded familiar to Blaze, but she didn't know where she heard it. "I will send us back in time. To the point where the Iblis Trigger was alive." The Shadow copy said as he created a ball of purple energy in his hands. The purple energy soon expanded to cover all three of them before they disappeared.

Unknown to any of them, Black Doom, Erazor Djinn and their mysterious master were watching the entire plot unfold. "You must be joking! You can't expect me to believe that you are going to bring Shadow into our ranks!" Black Doom said in anger, remembering the day Shadow sent him to hell. "That wasn't Shadow." Their mysterois master said. "Then who was it?" Erazor Djinn asked. "That was the demon of shadows, Mephiles the Dark" their mysterious master said as he gave out his signature spine chilling laugh.
