Chapter 1: Prologue

*The Future*

Shadow the Hedgehog locked the door behind him and closed all the blinds. He let out a sigh as he walked upstairs; this was just like the crystalline demon had said. In the future, E-123 Omega, his teammate would capture and lock him up in the stasis tube for the rest of his immortal existence. He wouldn't have mind, but he did; now more than ever.

"Father?"

The black hedgehog looked over his shoulder; he tried to keep calm as he saw the small silver hedgehog rubbing his eyes. "It's late, Silver. You should be in bed."

The small hedgehog approached him, "I heard you arrive."

He extended his arms up, wanting to be picked up by his father. The ebony hedgehog bent down and picked him up, "Did you have fun today?"

"Yeah… but I wanna know something."

"Hm?"

The silver hedgehog gave his father a hug, "Black Doom was your father right?"

"….You could say that."

"He was really evil wasn't he?"

"Yes."

"No wonder no one liked him…"

Shadow remained silent.

Yes, Black Doom had been evil. A great enemy of humanity but there was a side of Black Doom that no one knew about. No one, only him.

"Father?"

"Silver, I'm going to tell you a story."

The little hedgehog's eyes shinned, "Is it about your adventures with the blue hedgehog?"

"No. It's about Black Doom, my father."

"Is this going to give me nightmares?"

Shadow chuckled, "I hope not."

"Okay!"

The black hedgehog carried his child to his bedroom; he felt a dagger stab his heart. He knew that this would probably be the last time he would hold and see his son. He laid Silver on his bed and sat beside him. The small hedgehog covered his feet with the covers and looked up at his father; who seemed to be troubled by something.

"Long ago, before Sonic was born; a man by the name of Gerald Robotnik made an alliance with the dark leader of the Black Arms."

"Black Doom."

Shadow nodded, "When I was created, something went wrong. For some reason I was not created to the age they had wished, I was an infant. The Professor didn't seem to mind, but Black Doom was angered."

"What did he do?"

**I'm sorry for the short chapter. There will be more to come! Well, if people like this story then yes, there will be more. And I know that Ian Flynn said that he believes Silver to be a descendant of Shadow and Amy BUT I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT SHADOW AND AMY MADE SILVER! I WILL NEVER ACCEPT IT! I AM 1000% ANTI-SHADAMY! Please no harsh comments and thanks for reading!**
