It was just another day. Sonic had beaten Eggman, as usual, and for a while, things were very peaceful. Sonic and Amy had gotten married and had a boy named Nova, whom had recently gotten married to Sonar the Fennec. Eggman was probably planning something, but Sonic wasn't worried right now. He finally had some time to spend with his family, and that's all he had been wanting. Today was Nova and Sonar's first anniversary, so Amy had organized a party to celebrate. When she was getting her earrings on, she called out, "Sonic, I'm just about ready to head to the party, are you getting dressed?"

Sonic sighed, "Come on, do I really have to wear this? You know I hate these sorts of formal parties. Why couldn't we just go on a family picnic like we did for our first anniversary? Those were fun times."

As Amy came out she smiled at Sonic in his suit, "Those were the good days, but there's nothing wrong with change Sonic. You really look handsome in that suit. Can you help me zip up my dress?"

Sonic walked around to Amy's back and zipped up her dress before kissing her cheek, "Well, I guess change is good... It just feels like yesterday Nova was trying to get a grip on his speed."

Meanwhile, at Shadow's place, Shadow was going through some documents he'd gotten from G.U.N. HQ. Something had been bugging him lately, and since he had some time off from G.U.N. with the peaceful times as of late, he could look into it. What was bugging him, was why there were no other hedgehogs besides himself, Sonic, Amy, and their families. Silver was half-bat, but didn't really take after his mother in the looks department.

Rouge came into the room with a cup of coffee in her hands, her face contoured into a look of displeasure in contrary to her usually provocative expression, "Shadow, are you still doing this whole crazy research thing..?" The bat spoke, concerned for her partner and lover. "You've been at it for three whole days... We almost never get time off, and the moment we do, you'd rather be looking through some dusty papers instead of spend time with Silver and I." she sighed, "Well, I'm sick of it! Get dressed, we're going to Nova and Sonar's anniversary party, whether you like it or not!"

Shadow got up and walked over to Rouge, kissing her cheek, "Fine, I'll go." before going off to his and Rouge's room to get into a suit. Meanwhile, Rouge changed into a long black dress and put on her makeup. Shadow called out his son's name, "Silver! Are you almost ready to go? Your mom's almost done with her makeup, and I'm straightening my tie, so you'd better be fully dressed and not playing video games when I get to your room!"

Silver cringed when he heard his father calling out to him, turning off his game quickly, "Ok dad! I'm almost done!" Thankfully, Silver had his psychokinetic powers, and he used them to get his formal clothing on quite quickly.

Sonic sighed as Amy coaxed him into driving, on the premise that running would ruin their nice clothes. He absolutely hated driving, not only did it constrict him, he wasn't a very good driver. Amy kissed his cheek as she got in the car, "Come on dear, it's not a big deal. How about this? After the party, I'll drive home and you can run, promise."

Sonic smiled and agreed, "Ok, I'll agree to that. Let's get going." He started driving, and soon enough they were at the Obelisk Resort Hotel and Spa in Station Square. Sonic whistled in surprise at the scale of the hotel's extravagance, "Wow Amy, you really pulled out all the stops. I wouldn't expect any less from you."

Rouge saw Amy and immediately called out to her, "Amy! Over here! The pink hedgehog in question whipped her head around to face her batty comrade, her lips curved up into a smile. Amy came over and hugged Rouge, grinning as she began to speak:

"It's been a whole year hasn't it? The last time we met up was at Nova's wedding, right? We really need to see each other more often..."

As Sonic and Shadow walked up to each other, Shadow sighed, "Let me guess, the missus didn't give you much choice?"

Sonic rolled his eyes nodding, "Yeah, I would have been fine with a family picnic like we did for our anniversary, but Amy insisted on a big party with our friends and family. I guess it's not a bad idea, we haven't seen each other for a long time. So, how did you and Rouge celebrate your first anniversary?"

Shadow's cheeks turned red and he stuttered at the question before finally finishing his reply, "You don't want to know... trust me."

Sonic chuckled, "If you say so. I'm pretty sure Rouge will tell Amy, and you know she'll eventually tell me. You and I both know how girls like to gossip."

Shadow's cheeks turned even redder when he realized Sonic was right, but tried to change the subject, "Whatever, so how have things been?"

Sonic shrugged and sighed, "Things have been good with the peace and quiet we've been having lately, and I'm not complaining, but sometimes it gets boring."

Shadow nodded saying, "I have to admit, it does get boring in times of peace. We've been fighting Eggman for so many years, it just feels natural to be a hero. I've been caught up in research to pass the time, but Rouge isn't happy about it."

Sonic raised an eyebrow, "Research? What are you looking in to?" He listened as Shadow explained

"Doesn't it seem weird that you and I, along with our families, are the only hedgehogs on Mobius? It just doesn't make sense."

As Sonic and his family and friends were enjoying their party, far away on a distant planet, an important person was waking up from a 3 year nap. Chaos, the God of Destruction called out, "Tikal, could you send my regards to Dark Oak? He did destroy Planet Hedgonia, didn't he?"

The Destroyer God's attendant looked at her staff and said, "Yes, Dark Oak destroyed Hedgonia as you asked him to, but it seems he's been defeated. By a Hedgon, no less."

Chaos was surprised, "A Hedgon defeated Dark Oak? How did any of them survive the destruction of Hedgonia?"

Tikal tapped her staff's orb and explained, "It seems that a family group of Hedgons escaped by sending themselves to another planet in cryogenic escape pods. Dark Oak's life scanners wouldn't have picked them up. It seems that the two Hedgons who defeated Dark Oak are named Sonic and Shadow." she brought up an image of Sonic and Shadow's final battle with Dark Oak.

Chaos seemed confused at the golden yellow color of Sonic and Shadow's fur and asked, "I thought male Hedgons normally had blue fur?"

Tikal thought for a moment, "I believe this is what the Hedgon's refer to as the Super State."

Chaos raised a metaphorical eyebrow, asking, "Super State? Not Super God State? Well, it might still be worth looking into. Where do these Hedgons live now?"

Tikal looked through the known universe until she found out what planet they were on. "It seems they're on a planet known as Mobius in sector 257 of North Galaxy. At full speed, it'll take us about an hour to get there."

Chaos sighed, "That's about as long as it takes to write a good fan fiction chapter. Fine, just pack some food for the ride."

So Chaos, the God of Destruction, along with his attendant Tikal set course for Mobius, as Sonic and his friends enjoyed Nova's anniversary party, not knowing the impending danger that was drawing close...
