Chapter 2
"Silver!" yelled a voice from behind me as I heard footsteps.
"Blaze?" I yelled to see the cat running across the rooftops to catch up with me.
"He's appeared again!" she yelled as she pointed in the direction of more gathering flames. We both sped to the place where Iblis was forming once again attempting to destroy our population's numbers as he has done before. I was routine that we fought him. We had discovered his weak point years ago when I accidentally threw an object at his large eyes. But that was long ago back when it was more than just Blaze and myself who were strong enough to fight against Iblis. Once again he sunk into the flames.
"Looks like we've stopped it for now," said Blaze as she crossed her arms exhaustedly.
"But it'll just rise from his ashes again. What is the point of all this? It'll never end." I stormed and slammed my fist into the ruins of our city.
"Calm Down Silver," Blaze placed her hand on my shoulder attempting to calm the flame of anger within me.
"Then tell me what we should do how can we completely destroy iblis?" I said trying to control my anger
"By knowing the truth of course. Just as flower comes from a seed or a chicken comes from an egg everything has an origin. You need to find the being originally responsible for this catastrophe," said a voice from behind us. I wheeled around to see a mysterious figure I had never seen before.
"Who are you?" I asked the being standing atop the ruins.
"My name? Mephiles, Mephiles the Dark," he said.
"Is that really the answer to our problems? Tell me do you know who's responsible?" I asked doubting his theory.
He lightly jumped from the ruins and motioned for us to follow him. We walked silently for what seemed like forever. The silence is driving me crazy! Where are we going? What caused this? Why are we still walking? Mephiles led us inside a small room. A large picture of a young girl hung on the wall. It had yellowed with time.
"To fix this present time line you need to change the past," he said as he glanced at the picture that we were staring at.
"But that's impossible!" I said as I whipped my head around to meet his stare.
"With my help you can because I have the power to travel through time," he said calmly.
"No way!" I said in disbelief. How could he be able to bend time? How many other people have these powers?
"In order To change the past you must to eliminate the individual who has awakened iblis the iblis trigger," said Mephiles
"If I eliminate that guy will our world be saved?" I asked not sure if I wanted to know the answer.
"The day of disaster… here are my records on this event. This was when iblis was freed and his flames were released into the world,"
He started to click on the keyboard and he brought up some things on the flames of disaster and the girl whose name turns out to be Elise.
"This who is responsible for the flames," Mephiles handed me a jewel of some sort. I looked deep into the jewel and looked just hard enough to see the flames and then inside those cursed flames was a blue hedgehog.
"I see it!" I said as I handed him back the purple jewel that glowed a mysterious glow, "So that blue hedgehog is the iblis trigger?"
"Blue Hedgehog?" asked blaze as she looked at me and then to Mephiles.
"I'll send us back in time when the Iblis trigger was still alive," said Mephiles as he created a blue orb and the blue orb began to engulf us. The power pulsed through my veins forcing me to close my eyes. The power subsided but it left a tingling sensation in my body. Where am I? My mind was speeding through all these questions. I opened my eyes to a complete darkness. I thought that I had seen a slight light flicker in the corner of my eye. It's gotta be Blaze trying to see where she is in all this darn darkness. I attempted to move over to where I had seen the slight light but in front of me opened up to a brighter world. What is that? Oh well I need to catch up to Blaze then I'll investigateAs soon as that last word disappeared from my mind I felt a trickle of a breeze flow across my palms. I turned my head and a large gale wind pushed me through the portal.
