Chapter 4 - Searching for a question

I've been having a hard time writing chapters since I have school so, I'll be writing them in separated times. This is the fourth chapter of this story and it contains some very important events so please pay attention.

Some people say my story is a bit complicated but that's because it's a mystery story and you can't understand the main plot until you read the whole story.

Chapter 4 - Searching for a question

I flew in hurry to reach the raided city, from the air I saw building explode, people screaming and even cars were flying and spinning in mid-air in weird way like some invisible force was lifting and tossing them all over the place, one red car was about to hit me but I dodged it in the right time, I decided to stay on land since it's safer.

But on the land was no better, a mob of people ran through me in great fear almost knocking me away or squashing me like a bug. I Hurried to see who was attacking, a black hazy figure with red glowing eyes jumped from behind me and was about hit until a flash of blue light slashed through the ghost, I turned around to see a hedgehog who rivaled me ever since the very moment we've met a hedgehog with blue fur, emerald green eyes, red sneakers with white stripes, white gloves, wore a light blue hoodie with wind stripes on the front and a white hedgehog head on the back "Sonic the hedgehog" I called out to him with a grin, he got up and looked at me and grinned back and said "Hey Silver long time no see" he was always calm and cool even the most dire situation but what got my attention was the blue energy razor on his arm, I wonder where did he did learn to do that "Better stay sharp buddy it's not over yet!"

The remained haze from the phantom was resurrected and came back anew. It's Technopolis 7 all over again. We split up to search for any wounded or someone in danger.

Along the way through a street I met Tails, a fox with yellow fur, sea blue eyes, red and white sneakers, wore an orange shirt and ivory jacket on it, two tails swinging everywhere, white gloves with a black and yellow wired device on it that shoots lightning bolts.

"Need a hand" I said to him and he nodded "Thanks Silver" and we fought against those stupid shadow phantoms, two of them dashed to us, I grabbed a crumbled concrete piece with my psychokinetic power and throw it at them, it hit them and turned them into black haze but what's the use they'll simply come back again.

Turning to the little cub who called out to me "C'mon Silver we have to find the others!" I nodded at him while panting and we rushed through the destroyed buildings and cranked streets to find the rest of our friends.

We ran across a street to find Shadow, a black hedgehog with red spikes, wearing a white vest and a black jacket, white and red hover shoes, red and black tongued cuffs, and inhibitor rings. And Blaze, a female cat with lavender fur, gold eyes, she wore a red bindi, a red hair tie, a purple coat with white sleeves, red and white shoes.

They were back to back standing and surrounded by phantoms which infuriated me, why I wasn't the one who assists Blaze instead of that bragger Shadow "We came to help you" the fox cub exclaimed to them "Thank you Tails…Silver" she said my name in a shy way while Shadow shrugged "Whatever just don't slow me down" and just in time the Blue Blur Sonic came to assist "Time to rock and roll guys!"

We fought back the enemies and blew them one by one; fire balls, chaos spears, lightning, wind, and psycho blasts were everywhere, it was a big war back there.

But no matter what we do they kept coming back, this time we all stood back to back lucky me Blaze was next to me but it wasn't the right time to think of these things "What we do? We can't destroy them by force! We need to find another way" The fox announced and we all agreed accept for the Black Blur "What else would work than brute force, you're gonna try reason with them" which forced the fox to be quiet.

In that very moment the black spirits flew up in the air, piled up into one black flock, and descended down to us and from a far distance it looked like a dark tentacle coming down from the sky.

We didn't have anything left to try, it was coming and we didn't know what to do but I refused to give up, I won't let it end like this, I clutched my hand as usual and made my serious expression, I wanted to save my friends at any price, again I felt my body overwhelms with power, the aqua lines on my cuffs turn bright green.

My feet carried me to the front of them, they all were confused "What will you do?" asked a stressed a cat, I didn't have any idea but I knew "I'll do what it takes to protect you" the flock came down closer and closer, the fox held on to the blue hedgehog in fear, I raised my fist to the sky and a bright light stroke the entire battlefield.

My eyes were closed in determination, to make something happen or to die, gasps broke in, opening my eyes and looking around me I saw my friends staring above in shock so much that there jaws were hanging and eyes almost fall from their sockets.

There was a green light shining out of my hand and four white paws around us, when I saw what's above me I did the same as everyone. Above us there was a great big white tiger glowing in green, its back was armored with gold, and the teeth were so big so sharp that they were peeking out of the mouth.

"Whoa!" was all I could say, the tiger glared down to me and said "You're not Chrono White" and I gave him the normal respond "Who?" he removed his glare and looked at the incoming flock "It doesn't matter, I see you need some help here" he took a deep breath and gave a powerful mighty roar, every window in the city shattered, every phantom in the flock was blown into nothing, the very ground shook by the mighty beast's roar.

Silence ruled the place; the wind whistling was the only thing that could be heard, the tiger glared down to me again "Well my job here is done; they weren't much of a warm up" I stared at him in astonishment "Who are you and how did came here?" I asked, he smirked and answered "I am the flying thunder tiger Eraqus, as for how I got here it's you who summoned me and by the way you have the same eyes as my former master Chrono" Once he was done he disappeared in a glimmer.

Even after he was gone I was still frozen in my place, a hand reached out and placed on my shoulder, it was Sonic and the others smiling at me or at least three of them "Silver that was way pass cool!" Sonic was impressed by the thing I did and so was Tails and Blaze "How did you do that?" "Where did you learn summoning beasts" even Shadow was impressed but denied it.

I wanted to calm their curiosity by telling them I didn't know where that came from "Come on you're not serious are you?" Sonic exclaimed how could I use a power which I have no idea about "Absolutely" I announced, the black hedgehog smirked seeing me as an idiot.

I had this thought, if I found this Chrono guy Eraqus mentioned I might find an answer of what's going on "um Sonic you travel around the world a lot right?" I asked sheepishly, the blue didn't see my question as something suspicious and answered me with a lazy look "Well yeah I do" I didn't hesitate in asking him "Do you know or met someone called Chrono White?" he rubbed his head and tried his best to remember "Sorry pal but I'm not familiar with it" I crossed my arms and thought maybe someone else does but Shadow and Blaze didn't have any idea of who he was.

I started to believe this guy Chrono is dead from ages or a hermit who lives on his own until "I know him!" said the fox to me with grin, thrilled and surprised I was "Really where is he?" if I found this guy or maybe gal I will get the answers I want "He lives in sky stone legion in the north, it's not far away from here, we can reach it on foot" and with that I rushed to get there but Sonic jumped in my way "Hold it right there pal! Do you think we'll let go there by yourself" shocked and worried, I muttered a bit and said "but you guys can't go it's….dangerous" I thought I scared him but I only made it worse "What's new Danger is our game buddy now let's go" and he was the first to run followed by Tails and Shadow, I gave a sigh of frustration and slapped my face "Oh why?" Blaze walked next me and placed her hand on my shoulder "It's all right Silver we can take care of it" my face blushed by the situation "Well yeah of course we can!" I said with a big fake grin, the cat ran behind the others and so I did.

A/N: this chapter was epic and there's more to come!
