Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius
4th Saga: The Solaris Merger

In a time that seems unknown, a Mobian appears to be flying over a city that has been destroyed by fire and lava, with thunderclouds covering the sky.
"(This world was devastated before I was born...)" The Mobian thought as he continued to fly around the severely damaged skyscrapers. "(A harsh, bleak place, where we live in eternal darkness... life is a struggle, and people live without hope. How did this happen? No one will answer me directly. But they always point... to the flames.)" Suddenly, a pillar of fire burst in front of the Mobian. But he managed to make it fall down below him using the same aqua-coloured energy that was surrounding him. This energy had covered a silver hedgehog who had the same aqua colour in the shape of a circle on his palms and on the outside of his hands. "(These flames... they burn away at my world, destroying everything in their path.)" The hedgehog thought as he floated in the air. "(They come from an eternal lifeform that we cannot truly defeat... the Flames of Disaster, known... as Iblis.)"

"Heeeeey, Silver!" Shouted a young voice from behind him. When the silver hedgehog turned around, a yellow hedgehog that resembled him was standing on the corner of a buildingtop. Apart from this hedgehog being yellow, the difference between them in appearence was that his quills were shaped like lightning bolts.
"*sigh* What is it this time, Zappy?" Asked the silver hedgehog that was called Silver.
"That guy's on the other side of town, again." The yellow hedgehog replied as he pointed behind himself. "Think we could ask him if he could roast some marshmallows for us?"
"Shut up, eat your pinecone, and follow me." Silver told the yellow hedgehog he called Zappy, before he zoomed in the direction that was pointed out. Shrugging, Zappy took a bite of the pinecone he had before leaping from rooftop-to-rooftop.
"Mmm... delicious." He said as he chewed on the pinecone. "Ow! That's... *gulp* good eatin'." After saying that, Zappy suddenly transformed into a bolt of lighting and bounced from rooftop-to-rooftop after Silver.

Episode 90 - Chapter One: The Ruined World of the Future

"(My name is Silver.)" The silver hedgehog thought as he flew over the ruined city with the yellow hedgehog leaping after him. "(I'm a hedgehog that can move almost anything with the power of my mind. This power is called Psychokinesis. While I useem/u pretty skilled with it, I'm still learning how to control this power...)" Silver found himself looking at the yellow hedgehog who seemed to be off in another world... "(That's Zappy. He's an idiot, who has an obsession with some guy called Chuck Norris and an addiction to marshmallows. He thinks that we're brothers, but I highly doubt it.)" Silver and Zappy quickly find themselves surrounded by a number of fire and lava monsters. With half of them in a bird-like shape flying, the other half seemed to behave like fire-breathing dogs. But when the birds spat small fireballs at him, Silver used his Psychokinesis to catch their attacks and throw them back at them! Zappy threw arrows composed of electricity at the dogs, before punching the other two with electricity emerging from his hands.
"(With his electrokinectic powers and my Psychokinesis, Zappy and I have been trying to put a stop to Iblis for about 5 years now.)" Silver thought as he watched Zappy take out the dogs before moving deeper into the city. "(So far, we've only been able to hold him back from our home on Onyx Island. But that's gonna change today...)"

Soon, Silver and Zappy arrive in the center of the ruined city, which had a large pool of lava within it. Emerging from the molten rock was a large monster made of lava, that had green, lizard-like eyes, and rock-like armor.
"Ngh!" Silver groaned as the monster expelled heat whilst roaring. "Come on, you monster!"
"Wait!" Shouted Zappy, before pulling out a bag of marshmallows. "It's marshmallow time!"
"For you, maybe..." Silver replied, before turning his attention back to the monster. "It's time for me to put an end to the Flames of Disaster! You hear me, Iblis? Today... it will be finished!" After hearing this, the monster Silver called Iblis tried to flatten Silver with its massive hand, but missed, allowing Silver to grab some rocks with his Psychokinesis and threw them at Iblis! But they had no effect... "What? Why isn't it working?" Before Silver could question himself again, Iblis sent about a hundred flaming rocks his way! Fortunately, Silver used his Psychokinesis to catch whatever came his way. But when he threw the rocks back, they once again had no effect on Iblis.

It was at this point that Silver started getting even more frustrated...
"I don't get it..." He said to himself, but loud enough for anyone nearby to hear. "Why aren't my counter-attacks affecting him anymore?" All of a sudden, he felt a hand on his shoulder. When Silver turned his head, he saw a purple Mobian cat wearing her hair in a ponytail, along with a purple coat, a white cape (both with pink lining) and pink heels.
"Don't give up, Silver." She told him.
"Wha? Who are you? And how do you know my name?" Asked Silver.
"That's not important right now." She said to him. "Listen... to defeat Iblis, you need to concentrate your attacks on the armored head." Looking at where the cat was pointing, Silver thought maybe she was right.
"Okay, tha-" Silver replied, but the cat appeared to have vanished... "(Where'd she go?)" Iblis inturrpted Silver's thoughts when it roared. "All right, Iblis. Time to give you a headache." Silver then picked up what debris he could with his Psychokinesis and threw it at Iblis' head, causing its rock armor to shatter, leaving its head bare.

The lava monster then attempted to breathe fire on Silver, but the hedgehog took cover behind a wall that was slowly heating up. Silver was ready however... because once Iblis ceased its attack, Silver used his Psychokinesis to throw that same hot wall at Iblis' head, causing it to fall back down into the lava below. While Silver was happy that that battle was over, he was still feeling angry...
"*sigh* There's has to be an easier way to do this..." He thought out loud as he turned around, unaware that a lava arm had grabbed hold of the edge of the cliff.
"You're telling me." Zappy said to Silver, holding up a bag of popcorn. "I just got these all popped!" Silver got angry as Zappy started eating the popcorn.
"Zappy seriously, is food ALL you think about these days?" Yelled Silver.
"Of course not!" Zappy replied as he shoved Silver. "There's always Chuck Norris, pretty much any wrestling I see on TV, anything I can do to tick yo-"
"Look out!" Shouted a voice unknown to either Silver or Zappy. When they turned around, Iblis' hand was about to flatten them until it was struck by a small fireball, making Iblis fall back into the lava.

"Whoa, thanks! Which one of you threw that?" Silver asked as he looked at two hedgehogs and a cat. The light grey cat (whose hand had smoke coming from it) had gold eyes, red hair, and red markings on her head, tail and stomach. She was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, a jewel around her neck, a light purple shirt with a white stripe down the left of it, white pants with light purple stripes down the left of the legs, white shoes with red along the bottom, and also a silver ring on her finger.
The light-blue hedgehog had a navy-blue streak above his forehead, yellow eyes and navy-blue chesthair. He wore a dark blue, sleeveless jacket, light grey shorts, dark blue shoes (all of which had glowing, cyan-coloured markings on them) and glowing, cyan rings.
The turquoise hedgehog with blue eyes had her hair tied up to form a fountain-like shape on the top of head. She also had a light purple birthmark on the bottom of her right leg. She wore a light purple, short-sleeved jacket, a dark blue sports bra with two yellow lines on the left cup, a turquoise bracelet on her left arm, a turquoise gem hanging from her neck, light purple shorts with yellow markings on both legs, and aqua & yellow shoes with turquoise wave markings on them.
"That'd be me." Said the grey cat, getting Zappy's attention. "I'm Kia." Seeing the cat, Zappy raced over to kneel before Kia, and grabbed her hand.
"Kia..." He said to her. "What a B-E-A-utiful name. How 'bout we discuss it over a corn dog from Sky Park over on Onyx Island?"
"Zappy, you know we have to save what power we have left on Onyx Island..." Silver told the yellow hedgehog, before the light-blue hedgehog stepped in between Zappy and Kia.
"Besides... I'm her boyfriend." He said to Zappy. "The name's Sky. And that's Fountain over there." The other hedgehog felt a little uncomfortable around Silver and Zappy... even more so when Zappy did the same to her that he did to Kia!
"Fountain... What a B-E-A-utiful name." Zappy told her as he pulled out a bag of candy. "Marshmallow?" Fountain tried to avoid eye contact with Zappy, while Silver, Kia and Sky watched the two.

"Poor Fountain..." Said Kia.
"Sorry about Zappy..." Silver pointed out. "He tends to think of himself as a ladies man."
"How can you stand to be around him?" Asked Sky.
"Well, Zappy's not so bad..." Silver replied. "While he can be annoying, he sure can come in handy at the best of times." After hearing that, Kia snapped her fingers, which made a board come down to float behind her.
"I see... well, good luck to you, err..." She said.
"Silver." The silver hedgehog replied as Sky snapped his fingers, causing another board to come down to their location. "And to you. It's pretty dangerous here in Crisis City."
"We know. We live here, after all..." Said Sky before jumping on his board and started floating towards Fountain. "C'mon, Fountain."
"Right." Fountain replied, but couldn't seem to shake Zappy loose. "Uhh... Zappy? Could you... possibly let go of my hand?"
"But I thought we were gonna get to know-" Zappy was inturrupted when Silver grabbed him with his Psychokinesis, freeing Fountain in the process. Sky then picked Fountain up, and along with Kia, they flew away on their boards.
"All right Zappy, let's go home." Silver told his yellow friend.
"I didn't even get their numbers..." Zappy complained as Silver carried the both of them towards an island that looked slanted as it layed in the ocean.

That night, Silver was lying on his bed, flicking through old and/or damaged books, when a dark figure appeared at his door.
"Hmph. If you keep this up, I may have to start calling you a 'book-hog.'" Said the dark figure. When he came into the light, he appeared to be a black hedgehog with red streakes in his quills, aswell as a scar on his right eye, and also wore a brown cloak.
"Master!" Silver exclaimed as he sat up to greet the black hedgehog. "(I found Master Shadow sealed within an abandoned GUN base a few years ago. Since he noticed my Psychokinesis, he's been teaching me how to control my power. I kind of see Shadow as the father I never had...)" Shadow then noticed Silver looking a little angry...
"You seem frustrated..." He pointed out before looking at the books Silver was reading. "Haven't you read those books before?"
"Yeah..." Silver replied as he continued to flick through the book. "But I can't help but think there's something missing... like a way to put an end to Iblis once and for all."
"Silver... I think this desire to destroy Iblis has turned to obsession. Perhaps you should focus on something else when you're sleeping of a night."
"That's the thing, Master... I can't sleep." This made Shadow worriedly look at Silver.
"Do you know why?" Silver just shrugged.
"No. It's just that every night... I lay awake... and I find no conclusion." This made Shadow feel confused before leving the room.
"I'm not quite sure what to say to that, Silver... just... try to get some sleep."
"At the rate I'm going, no promises, Master..." When Shadow left, Silver layed back down on his bed again, looking up at the ceiling. "But every night... it just stays the same... in my dream of an absolution..."
