(Shadow's POV)

My head hurt like I've been shot by missiles. My ears stung as a everything was inaudible. My whole body felt like it was in flames! Am I in hell? Despite the fact I've allied with Faker to prevent evil, it wasn't good enough for me to go heaven with Maria? Goddamn it...
"Look! He's waking up!" my ears twitched to the sound of that voice. "I told you he was alive," it was almost identical to Faker's voice but less cocky and more...more...naive?
"Silver, shut up!" a feminine voice shut the male one up. I peeled my eyes open only to be greeted by a grey, almost white hedgehog. He had five quills that stuck out on his forehead like a plant pot and he had two symmetrical quills at the back just like Faker and I. My tired orbs scanned his body and noticed blue identical symbols on each of his gloves.
"Erm, Blaze? Why is he looking at me like that? Doesn't he remember me?" he cocked his head at a lavender cat who had a jewel on her forehead and was wearing a white robe. She gave him a menacing stare and her golden eyes stared back at me waiting for me to say something at least.
"Of course I remember you," I growled at the silver 'pothead' and sat up. It seemed that I was in some infirmary bed judging by the sheets and bitter atmosphere. "How did I get here?" I studied both the hedgehog and cat's expression for my answers.

"I suppose I should explain," Blaze sighed and sat on the edge of the bed and began: "It all started like this:"

(Blaze's POV and Flashback)

I was walking down the castle walls of Soleanna bored out of my mind. There has been no threats lately and more importantly, no companionship. I stared at the bricked sights that was in front of me. Cold, grey and rock solid. Obviously I could burn them down if I wanted to but what's the point? I'm usually used to loneliness; that's because I isolate myself from everyone. That all changed one day when I met HIM. Silver...

Suddenly, I hear footsteps edging closer and faster behind me. I turned around and got into a defense position but as soon as I saw the intruder, I lowered my guard down.

"Silver?" I squinted at the heavy breathing and sweaty hedgehog that was panting away. He wiped off a sweat of his forehead and darted towards me. His mouth opened and closed trying to say something but his golden eyes was full of fear. "Silver? What's going on?" I put my hands on my hips as he was waving his arms all over the place. "I don't understand sign languages you know," I remarked however, he finally found his voice.

"B...BLAZE!" He screamed and I gave a confused look. I know what my name is and why did he just shout it out loud? "Something bad's happening in Sonic's time! It's really really bad! I even got visions and..." I cut off Silver's rambling and put a hand on his shoulder which was damp due to the sweat that drowned all of his fur:

"Calm down and talk clearly, what did you see?" Silver took a deep breath and relaxed his shoulders.

"Mephiles, he's ALIVE!" Silver exclaimed and my whole body felt like it was paralysed. The atmosphere went tense and solemn. I shook my head and took a step back from Silver.

"No...S...Silver...It's just your imagination..." I stammered trying to reassure him but I was mostly reassuring myself. How could that demon, that monster resurrect?

"Has any of my visions failed me?" I shivered at the tone of the voice he was using. He's almost never angry, especially at me. He's usually the one that has to run away from my rage. I shook my head at the statement and sank onto the floor. I've only managed to fix up my kingdom after the whole incident. I don't know why Silver and I still remember the event during Mephiles. I thought we were meant to have it wiped away from our memory never to occur again. "But," I looked up at the futuristic hedgehog. He knelt down towards me eye level. "He's not the enemy this time, it's something else," he breathed out the last few words of his sentence. I cocked my head at him.

"Where is this taking place?" I asked him. He held out one of his hand and I didn't think twice before taking it. We both stood up and he sighed.

"In the timeline of Mr-not-iblis-trigger." he muttered. My eyes widened at his answer. He meant no other than: Sonic the Hedgehog. My first friend who showed me that being independant and isolating myself from the world isn't the answer to everything. "For some reason, Miss. Rose is linked to all of this as well." I furrowed my eyebrows and my tail twitched. She was one of my close friends.

"How?" I whispered. I received a slight pressure on my hand and slightly blushed to see that it was Silver's hand who squeezed it.

(End of Blaze's flashback and POV)

(No one's POV)

"...And that's why we came here." Blaze finished off her sentence leaving out all the bits when Silver and her had a little moment going on. It was irrelevant at the moment. Shadow nodded and opened his mouth to speak.

"I see, since Silver here is a time traveler, he must've felt a disturbance warning him what's going on plus experienced a few visions as well." Silver nodded. It wasn't easy being a time traveler although he loved the challenge that it came with. "You're right about Mephiles not being the enemy this time," Shadow switched his gaze from Blaze to Silver. Silver nodded wanting Shadow to carry on. "It's actually a demon, a monster, a blood lusting creature called Iblis." Shadow paused for a quick drink of water that was provided for him. He sighed and carried on. "Iblis is split into eight creatures. The other seven we don't have to worry for now because they are neutralized by the seven chaos emeralds. The one that's terrorising us at the moment is the main one and needs to be destroyed. He's plotting to get the eighth chaos emerald which is possession of Rose." Both Silver and Blaze gasped.

"There's an eighth chaos emerald? Why does Amy have it in the first place?" Blaze leaned forward eager for some information. Silver mimicked the action but not in a mocking way; just to show his eagerness as well.

"She's the daughter of Mephiles; Princess Amelia Lynn Rose the Dark." Shadow finished off leaving a gobsmacked cat and hedgehog. They both were in so much shock that they couldn't even blink.

"How is that possible! Mephiles is not a real hedgehog to start off with as far as I'm concerned! And how is Amy a princess?!" Silver's sudden outburst caused Blaze to jump up a bit but Shadow was left unfazed.

"That's because you don't know the whole story yet kid," Shadow crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. Silver's ears bent down in a apologetic manner. Shadow closed his eyes for a second and began: "Mephiles is a real hedgehog. He once reigned most of Mobius as a King. He was married and his wife gave birth to Amelia; that's Amy to us. Some evil wizard wanted power and all that but he went too far. He split himself into eight forms and tried to receive the emerald from Amy. She had it in her possession because it was her birthstone. Mephiles managed to neutralize seven of the Iblis forms but the eighth one killed his wife. Because of that, Mephiles transformed into that very form we encountered with, you know his so called 'Iblis' transformation?" Both the alabaster hedgehog and lavender cat nodded in agreement "It's his Jibrael form, meaning angel. Poor Rose was forced to runaway from the place after witnessing her mother's gruesome death."

There was a loud silence ringing in the trio's ears. Shadow was pained physically and emotionally from re-telling Amy's past, Silver felt guilty about hating Mephiles so much and Blaze felt other sympathy towards the rose hedgehog. Blaze thought that she was the one who suffered the most but to her surprise, the young rose had a darker and more gruesome past.

"Why were we all against him at one point then?" Silver croaked after finding his voice.

"He was possessed by Iblis and trapped in his own body. What gave it away was that he made no effort to even harm Rose." Shadow replied. The foreign duo looked at each other in horror. To have something evil, demonic control you like a puppet; how appalling! "By the way, how did I get here?" The duo looked at Shadow and Blaze answered for him.

"You somehow chaos controlled here but fell unconscious straight away," Shadow thought for a moment and recalled why.

"I remember now, I was against Iblis in the hospital," Shadow gritted his teeth at the remembrance of all the innocents being slaughtered like pigs. "However, another one of his forms that was neutralized and had a green glow appeared and was just standing there like a statue. Because of it, the green chaos emerald I had with me started to pulse distracting me from my rival. After he and I launched a few attacks, I chaos controlled out of there. The pulse of the emerald destroyed my communicator completely..." Shadow mumbled the last sentence. He wouldn't admit but he actually liked his communicator watch. It stopped his wrists from feeling empty.

"Only one thing left to say," Blaze spoke and stood up.

"We have to get to Faker," Shadow smirked "First we need to chaos control out of here," Shadow proudly put his hand into his quills and his smirk turned to a face of irritation and shock. "Where is it?" Shadow exclaimed and looked on his bed and under for the emerald.

"It's no use!" Silver used his famous line which received a death glare from Blaze and Shadow. "Why don't we just teleport my way, you must've dropped your emerald or something," Silver redeemed himself in a shy way.

"Found it!" Shadow chuckled and retrieved the emerald from under his pillow. "Grab on you two, Chaos Control!" Shadow bellowed and a flash appeared devouring the trio leaving an empty room.

(Tail's workshop)

Rouge entered the kitchen and her teal orbs met emerald and jade. Her eyes was filled with guilt and regret for venting her anger at the sakura hedgehog. Sonic ended his comforting embrace around Amy not feeling shy or bashful of Rouge observing the two hedgehogs.

"I...I..." Rouge stammered but she got straight onto the point and hugged Amy. Amy returned the friendly but heart warming affection allowing the ivory bat's tears to soak her quills. "I'm a fool, I had no idea what you've been through, I'm so sorry." Rouge whispered.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. I probably would've done the same thing if I were you." Amy mused and Sonic chuckled at the friendship between the bat and hedgehog.

Suddenly, an eye-burning light flashed in the lounge probably brighter than the Sun. Tails yelp was heard and Sonic rushed to the lounge already in a fighting pose. He lowered down his guard at the sight.

"Shadow!" Rouge exclaimed in delight as well as relief. She thanked God that Shadow was alright.

"Silver?" Sonic questioned.

"Blaze?" Amy smiled. Shadow walked towards Sonic, Amy and Rouge whilst Silver and Blaze clutched on their stomachs.

"I detest chaos controlling," Blaze covered her mouth forcing the vile that as building up her throat back down. Silver nodded in agreement.

"I agree,"
