Mephiles has teleport back to his hideout in soleanna, and upon arriving in the old castle with Amy still asleep in his hand after finding a still useable room for her then proceed to put her in a large bed while still staring at her with care. He then play with her bang but Amy doesn't react, she was in a deep sleep and placing his hand on her forehead he'd use his power to erased the memory of the event that had just happen in the forest and replacing it with an artificial one so that the sakura hedgehog never doubted him or distrust him.

'She looked like a snow white sleeping beautifully' he thought then finally leave the room

Then as he was walking down the hall of the castle it had hit him

'They may be looking for her, finding out she was not at her home. I need to make them lost my track if they ever find out'

Mephiles teleported back to the same forest where he'd just abduct the sakura hedgehog then walking deeply into the wood and found a decent cave that we're perfect for his 'decoy' hide out far from civilization and human, animal or mobian.

It was morning when tails paid a visit to Amy's home then knocking the door but no respond. Then the twin tailed fox asking her neighbor since when she had leave her house.

''Amy…? oh! She had been leaving her house last night with someone'' the elder mobian said

''can you tell me what this person look like?'' tails started to worried for his friend that something bad maybe had happened to her

''… I sorry dear but I can't quite remember what that person look''

''Its fine don't worry we'll find her'' this fact making the kitsune freak out

Tails then proceed to call everyone about the terrible news, sonic was speechless in the whole phone call. He was trying to apologies to Amy and finding out that she might have been kidnap made the blue blur even worse and felt like it was his fault.

Then after that the team chaotix starting to investigate the household.

''look carefully on finding an evidence charmy, we can't let the other down'' vector said

''I'm trying vector but everything here was like it never been touch'' charmy start to complain

As vector and charmy investigate the living room and the kitchen while espio was investigate the second floor, while looking at the hallway and entered the vacant room he surprise to sense that someone had been using that room before and whoever or whatever it was from its aura that had stinking the place he could tell that it wasn't friendly.

''hey vector, come up here I think I might have found something'' espio callout to vector

''what is it espio found something?'' vector rushing to the vacant room upstairs

''I felt a very malicious aura in this room there must be something that could help us''

''… okay espio I trust your judgment'' then vector mustered the courage to enter the room

''there's no ghost will jump at him right?'' charmy teased espio simply shake his head

Then when vector was searching the area for clues he found a gray-ish green fur under the bed and it surely wasn't Amy that's for sure. He later give it to rouge to be analyze them in G.U.N. HQ

Upon analyze the fur she was shock that whoever this person is he had the almost the exact same DNA structure as shadow but try to see the visual differences she pressing the keyboard then a picture showed up. Rouge shook her head in disbelief as the person who was shown at the monitor was the exact person she met the other night with Amy then shadow and the others was entering the lab.

''Rouge did you find-'' shadow then look at the monitor stand still, same with both sonic and silver

''it- it can't be…'' silver stutter for words, stand still as if he was seen a ghost

Then shadow look turn into an absolute anger ''MEPHILES!'' he shouted

''who's mephiles?'' knuckles asked but not heard of by shadow

''how!? How he was still here? I thought we destroy him'' silver utterly in disbelief

''um… guys explanation please?'' the twin tailed fox asked and look worried at sonic who was look like his soul was rip-out from him

''sonic?'' tails callout but no respond ''SONIC!'' tails then yell at him

Then sonic finally snapped ''Wha-?''

''silver calm down'' blaze said tried to ease silver from his sudden breakdown and the other join her to calmed the trio down

After trying to calm the trio hedgehog down they finally regain their composure back.

''Okay from the top who's this 'Mephiles' person and how'd you three the only one that know him?'' knuckles demand

''it's not just 'us' knuckles from the look on rouge face she seem to have seen the guy'' sonic point out

''because she saw the person last night with Amy but you three look likes you've got history with him''

''it's complicated, trust me''

Then silver tell the other anyway ''we have been meet him before but not in this timeline'' silver explain

''what do you mean?'' tails asked confused

Then the trio tell the event that had happened in soleanna, saving the princess, chased mephiles, fighting iblis, about the ruin future, humanity betrayal toward shadow, blaze 'sacrifice', sonic 'death', defeating Solaris, blowing out the flame itself and the Solaris project that was never even existed in this timeline. The other was utter shock and blaze felt badly towards silver that even 'she' herself forgot about the white hedgehog.

''but how you remember all of this?'' rouge said

''that maybe due to upon defeating Solaris but I'm still not quite sure myself'' shadow said still staring at the monitor angrily

''but what is he want with Amy?'' knuckles ask

''that what we still don't know yet but we can't stay still either, it's a matter of time before he'll start to attack'' shadow mutters

''and we can't let that bastard have Amy either, we need to locate his hide-out and rescue her!'' sonic said

''if we able to find his hide-out we needed a plan so that we don't doomed our self'' tails suggest

All of them agreed with tails idea and start making a search party and try to find mephiles as well.
