Chapter 4: the reinforcements

(Heartless dimension, station square)

Sonic was waking up when he saw he was in a prison cell in an airship with a heartless logo on the walls when he saw around he saw Shadow, and Silver still unconscious but not the girls Sonic seeing an empty metal pail grabbed it and a rock which he hit together to wake them up. When they woke up they saw where they were, they were making a plan of attack when a screen popped out of the ceiling showing the girls shackled to a wall with black and silver robots with the heartless symbol on their chest plate and all red eyes torturing them with spears with an energy blade. Sonic, Shadow, and Silver then looked at the screen in anger, enough rage and anger to turn into their dark forms and they busted through the cell and fought through a bunch of heartless shape shifters which were 5'6, black, curved with two tentacles coming out of their heads, and had three claws coming out of their hands; they then fought the robot guards.

Sonic, Shadow, and Silver ran into a room to see Amy, Blaze, and Rouge unconscious from the torture and pain. The boys saw three pails of water in front of them to torture them when they're thirsty; they grabbed a ladle of water and threw at the girls to wake them up. As soon they were awake the boys grabbed another ladle of water for the girls to drink for them to regain their strength. Shadow then used chaos spear to shatter the girls' shackles. As soon the shackles were destroyed an alarm went off, then the walls slid up to reveal the heartless metal versions of them. Shadow used chaos spear to attack them only to slow them down; Shadow attacked again then Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Amy, Blaze, and Rouge ran only to get trapped behind a dead-end. They turned around as the saw their metal heartless versions came slowly towards them for the kill while turning one of their hands into an energy sword. Sonic then turned to Amy and look into her eyes and said "Amy in case we don't make I just have to say that I love you with all my heart, and if we do make it I have to ask, Amy Rose, will you marry me", Amy looked at him with tears of joy and said "oh, Sonic of course I'll marry you and I love you too" Amy then kissed him probably for the last time. Shadow then turned to Rouge and looked into her eyes and said "Rouge, we have been partners for a long time and I should have told you before but I just have to say…. I love you", Rouge with tears of joy in her eyes said "Shadow I am so glad you feel that way because I love you too" Shadow then kissed Rouge passionately. Silver hesitantly turned to Blaze and looked deeply into her eyes and said "Blaze I know we broke up not even a month ago but I have to say that I still love you, and if I die here I am glad it is going to be by your side" Blaze with tears of joy said "Silver I know that it was not my intentions to break up with you but it was my lips saying it but I need you to know that I still love you" Silver and Blaze started to kiss. Then as soon the metal heartless versions got within 15ft of them an explosion occurred and out of the smoke came two hedgehogs teenagers, one which was part vampire and a combination of a hedgehog and a bat teenager appeared and attacked the metal heartlesses and took the Sonic heroes to freedom.

(Everdark Forest)

As soon as they reached the deep woods the Sonic heroes asked them who they were; the female blue hedgehog who was wearing a dark blue tank-top, black jeans, a sheathed katana, and black converse said her name was Nebula the hedgehog, from another universe where Shadow and her were husband and wife but the heartless killed her Shadow. The second hedgehog who was wearing a black shirt with a skull on it, black ninja pants, a sheathed katana, and black sneakers said his name was Dusk the vamp-hog from a different universe; one of the first that the heartless have destroyed to test out the multi-universe portal. The hedgehog/bat with a black t-shirt, black jeans said his name was Infinity the hedge-bat, he also said that he was from the 20 yrs in future which the heartless have ruined.

The Sonic heroes were going to introduced themselves but Nebula, Dusk, and Infinity said that they knew who they were. The Sonic heroes and their new allies were getting back to Nebula, Dusk, and Infinity's headquarters which was Dr. Eggman's old base. The heroes reached the base only to get ambushed by one of Dr. Eggman's giant robots. The robot had a 6 crab legs and crab claws with lasers in the pinchers and a human robot body and a dragon head. The robot then shot rockets at the Sonic heroes. The explosion knocked everyone unconscious except Rouge, Shadow, and Infinity the hedge-bat. Shadow and Rouge were pinned under a tree which fell on them, then the robot tried to use crushed them with one of its heavy claws, only to have it slashed blasted off by a shadow fire ball. Infinity the hedge-bat appear in front of the robot, which its cockpit opened to reveal Dr. Eggman in a command station; Infinity the hedge-bat shouted "Hey egg-head if you want to attack me fine" he then turned his right hand into a shadow sword blade and made a shadow shield on his left arm "but if you want to kill my mom and dad you have to go through me". Dr. Eggman then closed the cockpit and then he try to crush him with the robot's other claw only for Infinity to block and slash it off and then he shot a barrage of fireballs. Dr. Eggman then tried to escape but Infinity then shot a Shadow arrow at his foot and said "try escaping with an arrow that won't off through your foot"

Shadow and Rouge look at Infinity as he used his sword hand to cut the tree into smaller pieces that they could pick up. Shadow and Rouge then asked Infinity why he called them his parents; Infinity sighed and told them that he was biologically their son who will be born in the next 5 yrs. He also said that the next 15yrs the heartless invaded and killed them, Sonic, Amy, Silver, and Blaze. He lastly said that started a rebellion to fight the heartless and that he was the leader and the only reason the heartless came to the present was to kill them so he will never be born.

Shadow and Rouge looked at each other then at Infinity, and then they hugged him saying at even though they weren't his parents yet he is their son. Sonic, Amy, Silver, and Blaze woke up saw Rouge and Shadow hugging Infinity and asked what they missed.

(After an explanation)

The Sonic heroes were shocked, and disgusted on the heartlesses plan and vowed to protect each other. They then saw Nebula and Dusk wake up and told them the story but they said they knew and that the rebellion that Infinity talked about was a multi-dimensional rebellion. They soon heard heartless drones which were spheres with 2 side wings and one on top with robot claws on the bottom and they saw more heartless robots and shape-shifters coming from the woods. The Sonic heroes prepare for battle and charged.
