"Where… where am I? Who am I?"

In the flat field lay the girl. Her body was covered in a dark orange fur, and a foxlike tail protruded from between her legs. The fox-girl opened her eyes slightly; staring across the grassy fields, then fell back into unconsciousness.


Knuckles stared in horror at the burning village. Echidnas ran everywhere. Some were struck down by a mysterious watery force. A female Echidna ran past holding something in her hands ran in his direction. Knuckles began to follow the woman to a strange secret alcove where there was a small capsule-like object. She placed the thing in the capsule, and Knuckles realized it was a young Echidna.

"There's no other way," the woman said, "We shall soon be eradicated. It is up to you. Protect the Master Emerald. Do whatever it takes to keep this world from slipping into darkness. Farewell, my son, Knuckles."

Knuckles suddenly woke up and realized it was all a dream. However, it seemed too real to be a dream. "What happened there? Could this have been a vision of the past?"

He looked over at the Master Emerald, a giant gem filled with unlimited power, and wondered more about why he was the last Echidna on Mobius.


"Sonic, I thought we were going to go on our date!"

Amy stood impatiently in front of Sonic as the Hedgehog put on his red and white shoes. Amy was wearing her usual red dress and shoes, but had a beautiful white bow in her pink fur which matched her clothes nicely.

"Sorry, Amy, but I can't go on a date right now. Uncle Chuck is coming for a surprise visit, and he's gonna be here soon."

"Why can't he visit one of your siblings, Sonia or Manic, so that we can go on our date?"

Sonic sighed with annoyance. He hated it when Amy acts like this. They had only gone out for about a month since their return from the Mushroom Kingdom, and he hadn't really spent much time with her, but she needed to be more patient.

"Listen, I'll get Uncle Chuck settled in, then we can go on our date. I got us two passes into Twinkle Park."

Amy smiled. "Oh Sonic, you sure know how to show a lady a good time."

"I'm just gonna head out for a quick run. If Uncle Chuck gets here before I get back, tell him that I'll be right back."

With that, Sonic dashed out of his house along Emerald Coast and rushed toward Station Square. Amy sighed as he rushed off, thinking about her future with Sonic. The two had realized their love after Amy had saved Sonic from Metal Sonic. For the past month, it had been the happiest days Amy had ever had.

Sonic continued through Station Square and stopped in the park to grab a few chili dogs from his friend Frank, the hot dog stand guy, and raced across the water at supersonic speeds till he reached South Island. Racing down Green Hill Zone, he began to remember his first battle with Eggman when he had come to South Island. Looking over the water, he saw an island close to his location called Christmas Island. He sighed as he looked at his old home where his parents lived. Has it really been so long since I've been here? Sonic thought.

He stopped as he saw a young fox lying in the middle of the meadow. She was only dressed in a torn black tank top, and she looked like she'd been hurt badly.

"Hey, are you okay?" Sonic asked the fox. She stood up slowly with Sonic lifting her to her feet.

"I… I think so. Who are you?"

"I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog."

"I'm… I'm… Scarlett."

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Scarlett." As Sonic helped Scarlett to her feet, she groaned in pain and held her leg. "Don't worry. I'll take you to my friend, Tails. He can help you recover. He's a great doctor. Well, he's also a great inventor, mechanic, aviator… a lot of things, really."

Lifting Scarlett into his arms, Sonic rushed in the direction of Tails' house.


Tails was busy in his workshop making modifications to his new model of the Tornado, the Tornado X5, when Sonic came in with Scarlett. Helping Scarlett into a bed, Tails examined Scarlett's leg.

"It's like you fell out of the sky!" Tails exclaimed, "How did you end up in this situation?"

"I… I can't remember," Scarlett managed, "All I can remember is my name."

"Well, this is a predicament. Don't worry, Sonic. I'll take care of Scarlett from here. You get back to your house."

Sonic suddenly realized he'd forgotten about Uncle Chuck! "Right! I need to go! See you two later."

"It was nice meeting you, Sonic," Scarlett said as Sonic ran toward his house.


Notes: Well, I am re-uploading my 2nd fanfic because I don't like the reviews on it. Anyways, this is visions of the past, which focuses around Sonic and Knuckles and my OC that multiple people who have read my Sonic Legends fanfic know of as Scarlett (or Scarlette. God, I don't know how to spell right.) Anyways, I don't find this in anyway my best work. It is a bit more lacking than my other fics, but hey, it was my second fic. I have improved more since then and am a better writer now. Anyways, this is the only notes section that has been changed. The other ones are my original notes. Anyways, this is Silveraria Maximum, and I hope you enjoy.
