Season 2; Chapter 1:
? POV:
When was I born? I was never really born from any whom or biologically at all. I was born as a homunculus. I was made inside of a canister. My first glimpse of the world was a laboratory. This laboratory had men and women alike, laying in beds like the one I was in. There were two beds that were empty. I had the knowledge of how to understand and speak the English language implemented inside of my head. I walked out into what looked like a courtyard.
There were two boys my age dueling with wooden swords. After 5 minutes, they took a break. A black haired boy walked up to me after fighting.
"Hi there!" He said cheerfully, "You must be a new arrival." I looked at his sword. It had the Letter inscribed on it. He took notice to my seeing the letters and laughed. "That's my name. Or, at least, the number my name lists on the Andromeda galaxy name chart. My real name is #64. The boy I fought over there is #79, Rokumosa. What about you?"
I didn't know what to say, so I tilted my head and stared at him questionably. He realized what this meant and told me to look at my hand. I did as he said and the number 55 was written on it.
"It says... 55." I told him. He stared at me strangely.
"The name chart goes from 60 to 120, so 55 is not on the charts..." He explained. Rokumosa overheard that statement and walked over to confirm the situation.
"You must be the special one Raul talked about. He said that he made you special. He had hopes that you could wield the sword of electricity and use its power to the full extent." Rokumosa said clearing up the situation. I looked at him, not understanding what he meant. He then told me the the place I was in was called "Sanctuary", and it was were certain homunculus were born. The homunculus were made to wield weapons known as the "Swords of Destiny", or, "Elementals". The Elementals were strange swords recently discovered. They have the ability to utilize certain powers.
Afterward, they decided to name me, but couldn't think of any names. After some arguing between the three of us, we decided on my name.
The name Neil.

Tails POV:
The townsfolk offered a house for me to stay in for a while. I was shaken by the fact a murder took place. Vanessa said we had to figure it out... but how? From what I could see, there were bite marks on her body, as well as an arrow in her head, an apple by her side, and ground beef in her hand. I could tell this wouldn't be easy.
Vanessa and I decided to question the townsfolk tomorrow before dark. I just don't know what to do... For a while I lay down in my bed, unable to sleep. I started to wonder where Cosmo is. I hoped she was okay... I asked Vanessa if she had seen her, but she said no.
I started to worry. I was scared she had died. After some time, I did drift off to sleep. Dreaming of Cosmo.

Sonic's POV:
I awoke in a dark room, strapped to a table. A young boy stood over me. He had dark blue hair, a black jacket, a hat, and was human. He saw me and smiled.
"I'm glad you're awake, Sonic." The boy said. He was not 18, based on his voice. "I am another form of yourself." He told me, "I don't want to hurt you. It's just Ceneaz was on your trail."
I started to struggle, and he started to worry and quickly untied me. He apologized and sat silently.
"Who is Ceneaz, by the way?" I asked him. He looked down at his shoes.
"He is the ruler of the shadows. We were all fine until he came along and filled most of us with rage. Some of us, however, ignored him. We now protect all we can from suffering."
"What is a shadow?" I asked him. He then realized He made no sense to me.
"A shadow is ones true innermost feelings. It is created when a person is born. Ceneaz took advantage of our numbers and are trying to use us to get rid of your race." He explained.
"Why is Ceneaz doing this?"
He sat silent. It was clear he did not know the answer.
