SilverKeyblade here with my first story.I would like to note that Silver and all Sonic related characters, areas, etc. all belong to Sega.

Any OC's, should they exist, belong to me. So, why not get the party started then?

Also, I should note, this takes place after Generations, and before Lost World. Since everything from Sonic 06 has been wiped from the timeline (thankfully), anything from that game will not be considered within canon with this story.

So, why not get the party started already?

You know, it's funny. I thought the Time Eater would be a bit harder for Sonic to defeat, I even warned him about those homing attacks. Huh. Guess they were really nothing to worry about.

Oh, sorry, I should introduce myself. My name is Silver, Silver the Hedgehog! Gee, I'm sounding like him aren't I? Anyways, I live a while away from Sonic. That is, in the timeline. I have telekinetic powers, though I'm not as fast as Sonic or Shadow.

Anyways, I'm looking for a purple cat. She's a friend of mine that I've been wanting to get to know better. Her name is Blaze, the cat. She has the ability to manipulate fire, so any comeback she makes is a total burn!

Meh, that pun was bad. I feel bad now.

So, where did I go when the Time Eater was destroyed? Well, I was sent back to the party. Now, this is a good thing and a bad thing.

It's a good thing because I get to hang out with everyone there, sans Shadow, and including Blaze. And Blaze is always a plus in my books.

It's a bad thing because...well, now I'm stuck in the past. MY past I should say. And that's terrible.

It's been 3 days since that party ended. And as for where I'm at now, I'm taking up residence in Tails' house.

Tails is alright. He's a bit more connected with Sonic than me, but at least he's friendly. He's REALLY into technical stuff. From what I learned, he built the Tornado, upgraded it, built most of the Extreme Gear we all use, mine included, repaired a fighter robot, built several communicators, and built a communicator that allows people to communicate through time and space, along with one that can communicate with aliens.
He has a lot of time on his hands, doesn't he?

Speaking of him building things, I saw him building one when I walked in. I was shopping for him. "Hey Tails. What are you building there?"

Tails looked up at me. "Oh, this should help you get back to your time. I'm working on a powerful time machine to help send you to the future. Well, your present, anyways..."

"Hmm, interesting. Yes, this should work perfectly! When is it finished?" I asked eagerly.

Tails looked back down at the project, a bit more interested in it. "Well, I'll need some more time with it, but I know exactly what you can do to help. I need you to collect the 7 Chaos Emeralds."

"That sounds easy enough. Besides, Sonic can just summon them at will, considering what he told me about his Dark Gaia story."

Tails looked down a little more, obviously disappointed. "That's the thing. That took Sonic a lot of energy for him to do. It'll be a while before he can do it again. It takes the energy of the Master Emerald to summon the Chaos Emeralds at will. Judging from his power, I'd say he still needs a year to do that again. Not only that, but after the Eggman/Robotnik attack, the Chaos Emeralds have been spread pretty far."

And there goes the eagerness I had. "Oh...well, it's no problem! That will give you plenty of time to work on that machine of yours! Besides, I haven't had a good adventure in a while. I think it's time for me to get back on my feet!"

Tails looked up at me again, smiling. "That's the spirit, Silver! Okay, let me grab a map of Mobius real quick, along with the Emerald Locator."

I sat there, dreaming about my present, the beautiful grass and tree-WAIT, did he say map of MOBIUS?! They were spread THAT FAR?!Oh, the adventures I'll have.

"Got it!" Tails came back in, running with the map and the Locator. "Okay, I already marked the first Emeralds' location. The closer you get to the Emerald, the more the Locator reacts. Once you find it, grab it, and put it in this back socket of the Locator." Tails turned the Locator around, revealing the socket. It looked big enough to fit a Chaos Emerald in there, naturally. "It will teleport to me within 5 minutes. Keep it safe until then. Thankfully, the first Emerald is right here in Spagonia. As for the other places, that's for you to find out." Tails rubbed the back of his head. "I can't fly there while working on this machine, it's a delicate process. I also have no idea where the other Emeralds are. But I'm sure you can find them! Even if you don't know where they are, talk to the townspeople! They'll be glad to help!"

"Got it. Thanks, Tails. You're a big help." I pat Tails on the head...what? He was helpful. I began to head towards the door, preparing myself for the journey ahead.

"Good luck, Silver! Remember, they're spread all across Mobius!" Tails waved me goodbye.

Well, here we go. My adventure is finally beginning. If I want to go home, I'll have to travel across the world. But the first thing I have to do is focus on this Emerald. With any luck, I'll find it with no trouble. There's just one problem. How come I feel a shiver up my spine?

Well, this is turning out interesting? Wonder what's gonna happen on his adventure?

I'll be honest, writing dialogue is harder than it looks. I have to avoid making the characters OOC, and with Silver, that's VERY difficult seeing as how he gets little screen time. Yes, he is a main character in Sonic 06, but like I said earlier, that game is wiped from existence canonically. Meaning Silver could very well have a different personality altogether. The good news is, Colors (DS) and Generations fleshes out his character a BIT, and that works somewhat for me.

Anyways, give this a review if you could. It's my first story and I want to make sure all the kinks get worked out.
