Chapter 6: Fight for the Future

Many years from now, the World of Mobius is not in peace as everyone would have hoped. The world is not in ruin, nor is it safe. Across the skies flew a Mechanical Monster that had taken the form of a dragon. He had Blue armor and horrifying Red eyes. He had an accomplice, whom without; none would be possible for this disaster. He had Black hair, wore a Samurai robe with a Violet Rope-like belt and sword to match his clothes and Red eyes that looked like they could pierce into someone's Mind.

They were truly a force to be feared.

To think that one of the two was the lone survivor of the Illustrious Uchiha Clan.

There was one who could stand against this Menace, though. He had never defeated him, but had never given up, either. He had constantly sought a way to truly defeat this scourge, but was too naïve to understand the way the world works. He had a true Sense of Justice and never went back on his word when he promised to eventually defeat them.

He was a Shiny White Hedgehog with Hair on his forehead that almost looked like a crown, two spines on the back of his head as well as his back itself, and around his wrists and Dark-colored boots were Golden Rings with a glowing Cyan line running through them, and his gloves had a Cyan symbol on them as well.

His name was Silver.

In this world, people were gifted with the power to lift things with their mind in the form of a power called "Psychokinesis." Silver had mastered this power to a great extent, where he can even perform signature techniques using them. He can even Power his fists and feet to increase his speed and strength, or even execute a Spin Dash. He could also levitate by enveloping his body with Psychokinesis. Other techniques, well, he was about to test them on this Horrible Dictator.

"You don't scare me, Sasuke!" he shouted. "It's time I ended this!!"

"Look, Partner." The Dragon spoke, "That wimpy little Psycho-brat is challenging us again."

Sasuke simply took sight of Silver's Vim and Vigor, and chuckled. "I guess we should give him what he wants." The dragon then flew over down to challenge young Silver. When he saw him coming, he slammed his palm to the ground and began coursing with power as his body glowed cyan. The Dragon lunged back and took a deep breath as electricity emanated in its mouth, when it threw its head forward it shot a ball of lightning from its mouth, and just before it hit Silver, he leapt up into the sky over fifty feet, and levitated in his position, and snapped his fingers.

"Psycho Bolt!" he shot a lightning bolt down on the samurai riding the Dragon, who leapt from his beastly companion and took a deep breath before throwing "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Silver thrust his hands forward before the fireball could hit him, and tried to contain it within his Psycho-Kinesis as much as possible, it took a while, but he placed his arm across his face and thrust it forward so that his "Psycho Thrust!" could steer it away, back to its user, who leapt back on the Dragon, and both endured the hit.

When the fire died, they came out with not a single scar. Silver growled, and flew towards his enemy, who leapt up and thrust his hand forward and threw a "Striking Shadow Snake!" at him, summoning several snakes from his sleeve, all coming towards Silver. He spun around once, blowing the snakes back with "Sky Psycho Shock!" and continuing his rapid flight towards the foe and hitting him right on the mark.

Silver hit Sasuke square in the chest with the full speed force of his "Sonic Levitation," and he was knocked to the ground, where the fight was to continue. The Dragon decided on watching the fight from above, since he knew his partner could take care of himself, as well as destroy the cute little mousey who wanted to play fight-to-the- death.

"This ends today!" Silver shouted, "I will save the world from your tyranny!"

"Hmph." he scoffed. "Don't make me have a heart attack from laughing so much."

Silver glared at his foe.

"You're not even worth the effort for this."

As he said that, his hand began glowing, jolting with lightning and making an irritating sound that sounded like thousands of birds chirping.

"But since you're so hasty, I guess I can give you what you want."

"Chidori!"

Silver backed away slowly in astonishment, thinking, "Shoot! It's that technique again!" He looked up, and then down, and this time, thought, "I guess I'll have to use that technique as well…" He began charging his Psycho-Kinetic energy and thought, "It's not fully developed yet, but I have no other option."

The villain rushed toward Silver while dragging his arm over the ground, it scraping through as though it were a sword. Silver charged his energy long enough until he began to shine cyan, he placed his hand forward and focused his energy into it, he leapt back and thrust his arm forward until it had taken the shape of a giant snake-like dragon with red eyes, whiskers, horns and tusks.

"Psycho Leviathan!"

The psychic beast rushed toward the samurai and impacted full force, but Sasuke managed to break through it after about fifteen seconds of clenched sword and teeth. But it did prove some prevail, because he was forced to use Chidori on it.

"Yes!" Silver cheered, "I took out your attack!"

Then he leapt toward Silver and gave him a swift uppercut, and Silver fell on his back. Sasuke then walked up to him and drew his sword on him. "You truly are annoying." He simply said, as silver laid there in fear. "It's time I ended this." He pulled his sword upward and prepared to stab him. Silver realized he failed his lifelong and closed his eyes to wait for the inevitable.

"POW!"

Just then, the beloved Pink-haired kunoichi leapt out and punched Sasuke clean in the face. She looked as if she were twenty years old and wore a red vest with a pink skirt and black spandex shorts underneath. She wore black andals and gloves and wore a red hairband on top of her head. She was furious, but was also sad at the same time.

"S-Sakura…" Silver said as he struggled to get up.

"Your little freedom squad cannot save you!" Sasuke declared as he leapt forward, but leapt back as a stream of fire spread in front of him.

Its creator was a Violet cat who wore a purple robe with fuzzy wrists, as well as white pants with fuzzy ankles. She wore pink high-heeled shoes with a strap running across each one and wore her hair, which almost looked like feathers with a red ring. Her forehead also had a red dot.

"Are you okay?" she asked Silver as she handed him the White Chaos Emerald.

"I'm fine, Blaze." He replied, "Thank you."

"This is futile." Sasuke aggravated, before he was handed a Kick to the face.

The delivery boy of that kick was Rock Lee, who was now wearing a Chunin vest over his green beast uniform and seemed to have wrinkles under his eyes.

"Your theft of the Springtime of Youth ends here!"

"This isn't through yet!" he shouted, "Metal, Now!"

"With Pleasure!" the dragon called, as he charged for another Thunder Breath.

Sasuke found himself stunned after he called out to him.

Neji, who was wearing more robes, and Shikamaru, who was wearing the standard Chunin outfit, showed up and came to the scene. Shikamaru had possessed Sasuke.

"Now would be a good time to leave…" Shikamaru hesitated.

"I'm on it!" Silver barked as he held the Chaos Emerald into the air.

Shikamaru released his Jutsu as Silver called out and the Metal Madness shot its breath.

"Chaos Control!"

They had warped just as Silver performed his Chaos Control, right before the group was engulfed in the blast.

When the smoke cleared, only Sasuke stood in the desolated area, and the dragon floated down next to him and transformed. His body has taken the shape of Sonic, but also, not Sonic. He had white striped spikes and armored forearms and shins. He had spikes on his wrists, neck and ankles too. He wore a cape at his waist. His most horrifying feature was a pair of pitch black eyes with blood red pupils.

"What do you think he'll try, Neo?" Sasuke asked his Mechanical partner.

"I have met Silver once before." He said, "He'll most likely try to change the future so that this pathetic little world will live in peace."

"How can we stop him?"

"We won't have to." He smirked.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"We're going to let the past handle that."

His eyes began blinking, as if to signal something. Sasuke smiled very evilly.

"You shouldn't have gone off on your own again, Silver!"

Silver's wounds were being treated by Sakura in the hidden gathering base of the Konoha Freedom League. This group was the only force left to stand against Sasuke and Neo Metal Sonic after the world had been overthrown by them. How that was possible is incredibly unknown, but not only did they desperately try to stop them, they also sought an answer to why it happened in the first place.

Its members consisted of Sakura, Shikamaru, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon, Neji, Rock Lee, Hinata, Temari, Blaze and Silver. It was a small group, but they were forced to make the best of it. There were some other members of this crew, as were they expecting more.

Shikamaru had vowed to protect Kurenai and Asuma's daughter, Suki Yuhi. She had black hair and crimson eyes like her mother, and she often dressed like her when she led Team 8. One would even think she was a smaller Kurenai. Her parents were killed by their horrifying adversaries, so Shikamaru was the only thing closest to a father she had left.

Hinata and Temari were both pregnant. Hinata had longer hair and looked like she would be due any day now. She was carrying twins. She wore a common housewife's dress that seemed to resemble the color of her jacket when she was younger. But instead of being shy, she was often sad and scared. She did not want to give birth knowing this was the world they would know their whole lives. Temari still had a ways to go, but she was just as scared as Hinata. She wore a black overdress that had the skirt reach down to her knees. Shikamaru was her child's father, but she was miserable since both of her brothers died trying to defeat this monstrous duo. Everyone was horribly sad since their beloved heroes and friends died to fight a noble cause, but to no prevail.

"I'm sorry." Silver sulked. "I really want to save this world, that's all."

"It's far too late for that." Neji said. "We were all destined to die like this and nothing will ever change that."

"But there has to be some way we can save everyone!" Silver replied. "We should still have some kind of chance!"

"Just as a lotus wilts," Lee said, incredibly depressed, "so too, must a noble story come to an end." He looked back at Silver. "There's nothing we can do."

"We lost…" Temari sulked, with tears pouring from her eyes. "Everyone we know and love is gone. Our family, our friends, even Naruto Uzumaki and my brothers are gone. We're the only ones left. There is no alternative."

Shikamaru pulled her and Suki in for a hug. They both cried along with Temari and the others. "Mister Shikamaru…" Suki sobbed, "I miss my mom!"

"We've all lost." Sakura said. "It's hopeless…" She began to fall to her knees and hug Silver as tears rained from her eyes. "Naruto…" she sniffled, "I wish you were here…" Silver returned the hug and finally admit defeat.

"If only Sonic were here…" Blaze said.

"Yeah…" Silver replied. "Gosh, I haven't seen him since I went back in time to-" he widened his eyes at this.

"THAT'S IT!"

They all stared at him.

"Neji!" Silver called. "Hand me your Chaos Emerald!"

Neji did just that as he threw the Red Chaos Emerald to him.

Silver charged his energy, with Chaos Emeralds in both hands, and then performed "Chaos Control!" as he crossed his arms.

Then, a spiraling portal appeared behind him, and he urged Blaze by saying, "You coming?"

"What do you plan to do?" Konohamaru asked him.

"I'm gonna head back in time to when Sonic was alive!" Silver declared. "I'm gonna change the future!"

"It will do you no good." Neji softly scoffed. "We were destined to end up like this and you it."

"But it's not hopeless!" Silver declared. "It is possible to change history!"

"Silver's right." Blaze agreed. "We don't know what will happen if we don't try."

"I agree with Blaze." Lee said. "And I wish you two the best of luck."

"Mister Silver!" called out the other two Genin of Konohamaru's team.

"Take this with you!" Moegi and Udon said as they placed a robot into Blaze's arms. Its armor appeared to be colored orange, and it had blue eyes. It also had a panel on its forehead that seemed like a horn or mask.

"Where did you two find that?!" Sakura shrieked.

"Actually," Konohamaru confessed, "I found it while exploring the lost ruins of the city…I figured maybe we could fix him somehow."

"What were you doing outside?!" Temari barked, "You know it's dangerous out there!"

"Temari, relax!" Shikamaru panicked, "Think of the baby!"

"Please…" a soft voice finally spoke.

Everone turned their attention to Hinata.

"Please, Silver…" she sobbed, "Change this ruined world…" Silver walked up to her. "Please…" she said. "Bring Naruto back to us…Make this world for our children." She knelt over as best as she could until she was on both knees. Silver gave her a hug. As he rubbed her large stomach, he declared, "I swear on the life of your unborn children, Hinata, that I will repair this destroyed world." He felt them moving as his hand was still there. It was as if Hinata's babies were wishing him the best of luck. Then, he let a huge smile across his face and gave everyone thumbs up.

"The nice-guy look." Lee thought.

"Let's go, Silver." Blaze said with the robot still in her arms.

Silver gave Hinata one last hug before leaping through the portal with Blaze following behind.

"Good luck, Silver." whispered Sakura.

"Brace Yourselves, Everybody!" Eggman shouted, "It's gonna blow!"

Soon the entire room was enveloped in the flash. It continued until the entire base was enveloped in the Light. When the light faded, everyone in Dr. Eggman's base was gone.

As soon as the light cleared, the time portal opened, and Silver and Blaze leapt out. They looked around. Silver went to the Chaos Control machine, while Blaze went to the data computer. She looked at the monitor before saying, "Looks like the coordinates are already set."

"And the machine is still functional." Silver replied. "It looks as if it was used recently."

"Chaos Control can send anyone and anything through Time and Space, correct?"

"Yes." He looked at the generator. "There are seven slots here. I guess he used them all to power it."

"Well, it's a good thing we got the benefit." She typed in the manual of the machine. "Though he only needed one of the Emeralds to send them to the Leaf Village."

"The Leaf Village is in another dimension aside from this one, right?"

She nodded.

"How did he manage that?"

"That only adds to the mystery we must solve."

"Well, I'm putting one of them in the generator." He said. "We might need the other one."

Blaze nodded, as he placed the Red Emerald and turned on the machine.

The loop within the ring began to glow a very distinct color before showing an image of the Village they were hoping for.

"Let's go!" he said as they leapt through.

Before a second, a Shockwave appeared and Silver and Blaze found themselves in a forest. They hid within bushes and trees to make sure no one would see them.

"Do you think we made it?" Silver asked Blaze.

"I'm not sure yet."

"Come on, Akamaru!" shouted a voice. "Double the marking style!"

"Bark, Bark!"

Then they saw a boy leaping through the trees across from them. He seemed to be walking his puppy, and by "walking" I mean getting his dog to pee on trees while in midair. Blaze was disgusted by this, but Silver saw close enough to the boy to see that he was wearing a Konoha headband. The metal protector had the symbol of a leaf on it, and Silver realized.

"This is the place," He looked to their right, "and there's the village."

"Great. Let's hurry!"

"Why are you in such a rush?"

"Just in case you didn't notice," she replied sarcastically, "I kind got a thing against dogs."

"Oh." He said as he shrugged and rubbed his head.

As they entered the village, they decided to make a quick review of their strategy.

"You take the robot to Sonic." Silver said, referring to the robot still unconscious in her arms. "I'll take a look around and see if I can't get any information."

"Got it." She said. "Be careful, Silver." She leapt in the direction of the directory and find out where Sonic was residing. Silver walked through the village and took note of how beautiful it was. Then, he thought of Hinata, Sakura and the rest of the Freedom League. He remembered that they all counted on him, and wanted to live the world while it was still in this condition. "This place is beautiful." He said to himself.

"I must fight to save this." Then he closed his eyes and thought of Sasuke Uchiha, the bastard who destroyed his world before he was born. He met with Sonic on a previous occasion to handle another felon named Eggman Nega, who wanted to conquer that world himself. He held his hand up and clenched his fist. "I will find that Sasuke Uchiha…" then he looked to the sky, and thought, "…and I'm gonna destroy him."

While he was still looking in the sky, he saw the familiar shape of the Egg Mobile heading towards the office of the Hokage, the office of Tsunade. Silver gasped and rushed toward the building, using his feet, and using his Psychokinesis to manipulate his feet, moving him faster.

Tsunade had just finished filing a report on the Castle that Eggman had taken residence in the Land of Wind. She realized it would have to be breached eventually. She looked out into the sky through the window behind her, and wondered if the Sand shinobi were doing all right with their new companions.

She was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Enter!" she said.

As the door opened, she heard the voice she wanted to hear least.

"Hello again, Lady Tsunade." Eggman smirked.

He was alone this time because his henchbots were rebuilding the castle that a certain black hedgehog destroyed.

"Naruto's not here." She replied nonchalantly, "He went on another mission recently. So scram, I'm a busy girl."

"I just came to make a proposition."

Tsunade sighed. "Whaddya want?"

"Hand Naruto to me, and I will leave your village in peace."

Silver, who arrived just in time, stood outside the door, hoping to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"And what makes you think I'll agree to that?"

"I'll cut to the chase." Eggman cleared his throat. "You see…One of my robots got loose recently." Eggman explained, "He has the power to copy abilities and make them his own. He even obtained the power of Chaos Control one day and found he could see into dimensions, as well as transport through them."

Silver blinked upon hearing this.

"There's a certain boy out there whom he sees has great potential." He continued. "Someone whom he sees evil enough to surpass the Sannin and the Five Kage combined. He wants this boy in order to rule all dimensions and meld them into his own perfect world."

"And you know this, because…?"

"I used one of the parts to build him to power my Chaos Control Teleporter." He then shook his head. "I need Naruto so I can stand up to him and stop him. I could care less about ruling another dimension. As long as I rule Mobius before he does, what else do I need?"

Tsunade and Silver grunted.

"So you wanna take Naruto so you can rule the world before someone else does…" Tsunade said as she placed a finger to her lip, and looked up in thought as well as sarcasm. "Go find yourself another sucker; I'm not interested in your offer."

"I was hoping you'd say that." He pointed outside the window to note that the Egg Mobile was flying by itself high above the city. "My Egg Mobile is in Auto Pilot right now, and it has deadly Quantum Lasers in its Fingers. Not only will it burn a living being to shreds, it will also incinerate a building."

Tsunade glared back at Eggman.

"You do have a choice, though." Eggman replied. Either hand him to me when he returns…or I'll blow your village to smithereens."

Tsunade laughed at this. "I have a better Idea." Eggman eyed her expectantly. "Why don't we make it a gamble?"

Silver was completely dumbfounded.

"If I win, you may go in peace like you came. If you win, you may have Naruto."

"Deal." He replied with a smirk.

She reached into the cleavage of her giant breasts and pulled out three dice. She also pulled out a bowl from behind herself.

She shuffled the dice within the bowl and cupped it onto the table bottom side up.

Eggman viewed this feat with intrigue.

"So which do you call, Odd or Even?"

Eggman thought for a second, before Tsunade said…

"Wait a second." Eggman looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Why don't we make this more interesting?" Eggman grinned as she pulled out a suitcase. Inside was an entire lifetime's worth of Money. "Do you have anything to match this?"

"Even." He said. "Plus, I'll call your bet," Eggman said as he pulled his own suitcase out. Inside was a series of Golden Rings. "And I'll raise you twice as much."

Tsunade grinned and giggled like a cheerful schoolgirl. "You're on, Egghead."

"Oh, and one more thing…"

Tsunade and Silver blinked.

"I'm looking forward to ruling the world…Miss Legendary Sucker!"

"Crap." She said with a stunned expression.

"I just got here," Silver thought, "and now the Village is gonna be destroyed?! I can't let her lose!" Then he closed his eyes, concentrated his energy and thought, "Psycho Path!" and on that, he could instantly see into the bowl. One of the dice was 1, the second was 3, and the third was 5. Then he twiddled his fingers with Psychokinesis to move the 1 in position for a 2. Then he shut off the Psycho Kinesis and sighed in relief.

Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon were running through the halls trying to catch a butterfly. The other two continued after the butterfly, but Konohamaru saw Silver. This could not be worse timing.

"Hey you!" he called out, causing Silver to jump in astonishment. "Aren't you that Hedgehog guy who saved the village the other day?"

Silver gestured his fingers to shush the kid, but unluckily for him, Konohamaru was an even bigger brat than Naruto.

"You think you can shush me like yer the boss of me?!" he shouted, "I'm Konohamaru, the Hidden Leaf's Number One Rookie Underdog!"

"You're gonna be Konohama-dead, the Hidden Leaf's Smoldering Pile of Ash if you don't get out of here!" he beckoned, "Dr. Eggman's inside-"

"What're you gonna do?!" he shouted, ignoring his warning, "Flatten me like a Pancake with your feet?! Ha! Kiss my Ass!"

"Who said that?!" Eggman shouted, hearing the whiny kid's voice better than Australia could.

"Crap." Silver said. "You've gotta go, now!" He ran towards Silver and tried to pick him up, but Konohamaru struggled like a rabid dog before Eggman opened the door.

Tsunade saw that Silver was wrestling the snotty kid to the ground before Eggman, who saw Silver and was mad.

"You!" he shouted. "You're that Psycho Boy!"

"Crap." Silver said, "I'm Outta here!" he said again as he began running outside the halls.

"You're not getting away from me!" Eggman shouted.

Silver headed out the door and jumped from the stairs, using levitation to slow his fall. He then headed toward the exit. "I bet I can lure him away from the village if I keep running." He thought.

Eggman headed for the roof while Konohamaru raised an eyebrow, having no idea what just happened. Tsunade, on the other hand, looked under the bowl, which Eggman didn't bother to do. She had won the gamble. She also took the suitcase Eggman carelessly left behind and placed it next to hers. She sighed in relief because Naruto was saved, and so was her village. She felt that white hedgehog had part in saving her, since Eggman called him a "Psycho Boy," presumably meaning he had psychic powers. Silver really saved her skin there, she felt.

Kurenai was simply strolling through the village, since she finished shopping for groceries. She locked her door and decided to make a visit with Asuma for a friendly talk, but something caught her attention. A white hedgehog running through the streets as if trying to flee from something. She raised an eyebrow before realizing that the Egg Mobile, piloted by (Guess Who) was chasing him. She noticed he was shooting fiercely at him and decided to look into it.
