Here is the next chappie. Sorry this one took so long, I had test to study for, then I got writer's block halfway through, then I found out I needed another character, but couldnt think of one, and so on and so forth. But I finally updated! Yeah, I changed the summery, becouse we are in the final streatch. Things are gunna heat up, and fast. People are gunna die, and people are gunna get hurt. The thing is, who is going to get hurt, who is going to die, and who is going to be left behind?

"Chris! Long time no see. the last time I saw you was how many years?" A young man said as he walked through the front door. His hair was a sandy blonde, and he wasnt particularly muscular, but still had some muscle. His eyes were a bright green and his outfit looked like proffesional.

"Fox! Nice to see you! Hey Bill!" Chris said happily from his place at the window, still in Sonic's lap. when the grey haired teen came up behind Fox and waved, Sonic instinctively tightened the grip on Chris lightly. The teen, Bill, looked to be about the same age as Cloud, and he was wearing a green babby sweatshirt like top and matching baggy green pants and dark green boots. A yellow streak went straight down the middle of the green sweatshirt.

"'Ey Chris! Who's the blunette?" Bill asked, not seeming to notice Sonic's glare. Chris laughed.

"This is, technecally, my boyfriend, Sonic."

'And if he takes your virginity, he's dead!' Sonic wanted to resurect Sorincha at that moment, so he could kill her, but settled for blushing and resting his chin on Chris's head.

"Wow! Nice! So, Sorincha giving him hell?"

"You have no idea..." Sonic groaned at what Bill said. Chris chuckled and so did Fox.

"I can guess, considering she gave me hell when I accidently admitted to her I like Bill." Fox said. Angel, who was on the couch, snorted.

"I remember that. She had gotten her hands on some alchohal and she, you, and I decided to drink it. You ended up getting drunk and spilled out all your intermost secrets."

"I've been wanting to ask you about that actually..."

"Trust me, the only things you wanna know about what you did, for dignity's sake, is that Sorincha got you in a pink tutu and got you to dance in the observation deck. Anything else, you wont want to know." The way Angel said it, made you feel like you wanted to know, but were to scared to ask. Sonic heard Sorincha laughing in his head, and wanted her to stop.

'C'mon Angel! Dont sugar coat it! That isnt the only thing we got him to do while he was stoned! Then again, I guess you wouldnt want to be humiliated like that if the rest got out!' This only served to make Sonic curious, but after seeing what Angel would do to So-kun, he decided it better not ask, for fear of his life.

"I'm Slippy! And Mr. Grumpy over there is Falco." A young green haired teen said. They had decided to move to the dinningroom (again) to discuss things further. Sonic and Chris sat next to Angel, with Fox and Bill sitting across from them. The green haired teen, who was dressed similar to Fox, only with a baseball cap, was standing between Bill and Fox. Fox and Bill appeared to be about the same hight as Sonic, so they would have been around five feet six inches tall, but Slippy looked to be about the same size as Chris! Falco, who had a sour look on his face, was standing, or rather leaning, on the wall behind Fox and Bill. Falco wore basically the same outfit as Slippy and Fox, only unlike Slippy's, who had long sleeves, and Fox, who seemed to just role up his long sleeves, Falco's were short. Falco had a sharp angular face, and would have been considered good-looking though, if he hadnt been frowning the entire time. Fox and Bill had faces that made them look like they coudlnt be older than sixteen, even though they were older, and Slippy had a round, childish, girly face that would have made you think he was a girl. The squeeky voice that Slippy had didnt help much either.

Sonic spared a glance at Angel, who looked like she was about to kill someone. Sonic looked away from her before she looked at him.

Fox looked back at Falco, who had a bag with him. Falco, who looked positively peeved, handed him the bag.

"Peppy wanted to come and give this to you himself, but since he is so.. y'know.. I told him I'd bring it." Fox said. Angel nodded in understanding as Fox opened the bag and took out a black, metalic-looking box.

"The box was specialy made. Black zicroniam miltonia. A rare mineral that is so dense, and hard, that even our lasrer's cant penetrate it."

"How'd you melt it down to get it in the shape of a box?" Chris asked Bill. Bill snickered

"We threw it into the sun, then retreived it after a few minutes."

"I'm afraid to ask how..." Chris replied to Fox, who chuckled.

"Trust me, it wasnt easy, and I still have the burn marks from it." Fox replied, his tone humerous. Sonic had remained silent, not really sure what to say. Since Chris was sitting in his lap, he had his arms wrapped around the younger boy's waist, and had his chin rested ontop of his head.

"Well, anyway, here it is. There is only about one fourth a cup left, but it was as much as we could collect." Fox said, opening the box and pulling out a small bottle wrapped in silk. The bottle was a bit fancy, and was sapphire blue. You could see liquid inside, but you couldnt see what color it was, unless it was blue like the rest of the bottle.

"Thanks Fox, you're a life saver." Angel said, taking the bottle. Fox nodded.

"Yeah well, it's the least we can do. I heard about Sorincha, sorry to hear it Chris."

"It's ok. I'm over it."

"So when did you and Sonic get together?" Bill said, trying to change the subject to something less depressing. Chris and Sonic blushed, and Angel looked at them with a smudge grin, humor in her eyes. Chris' face was bright red, and Sonic was blushing as well, but not as profuselly.

"U-uhm. W-well..." Chris stammered. Sonic actually had to think of when they started being an actual couple. He decided, he had no idea.

"I uh... So how have things been going with you two?" Chris said, changing the subject immediatly. Angel snickered, as the discomfort went from Sonic and Chris, and onto Fox and Bill.

"Err... wannna stop talking about this?" Bill asked, his face heating up. Fox was bright red as well, but was trying not to show he was emberresed.

"That sounds good..."

---

After half an hour of trying to converse, only to have to change the subject becouse they would end up going to some emberressing incedent, they decided they would just eat lunch, then Fox, Bill, Slippy, and Falco would leave. In that half hour however, Falco ended up getting into a fight with Angel, only to calm down when he found out she was pregnant, mainly for the sole reason that he couldnt hit a pregnant woman, and expect to live. Angel had turned her attention to Fox after that, engaging him into conversation, while Bill was talking to Sonic, and giving Sonic tips about certain 'things' in a low voice so no one could hear, and Chris was talking to Falco and Slippy about the latest that had happened in the Lylat system.

"Fox, I need a favor." Angel asked, and suddenly, everyone's conversations seemed to stop, as all attention was brought to Angel and Fox. Neither of them seemed affected by this though, as Fox replied.

"Depends on the favor."

"I need you to confirm Robotnik's, and Eggman's location." You could no longer even hear anyone breathe, and Fox looked shocked.

"You already told me about Eggman, and how he was in this world, but how do you know Robotnik is in this world?"

"The fact alone that Sonic and his friends were forced into human form. Eggman is smart, I'll give him that much, but he isnt smart enough to know how to make this kind of potion, no matter what kind of documents he got ahold of. The only way he'd be able to, was if he got help from me, Sorincha, or Robotnik. We're the only ones who know how to make it." Angel said. Fox nodded, looking over at Bill, then Falco, then Slippy, then back to Angel.

"We'll make some rounds, and see if we can find him. You still have that Transmitor I gave you?"

"Yeah, but the power went out a long time ago."

"Slippy, go recharge it. We'll contact you using that if we find anything, or if we dont."

"Slippy, the transmitor is in the top left shelf of the dresser, under all the clothes. Alright, I have your word on that?"

"Yeah." Bill answered for Fox this time. Falco nodded in agreement.

"I may not like you," Falco began, "But I dont like the sound of this Robotnik guy, or that Eggman guy. When they would be done with your planet, they might eventually move to out solar system! I aint letting that happen."

"So you and Katt finally got together huh?" Angel said, smirking. Fox and Bill snickered, and Falco blushed.

"Sh-shut up."

"I feel kinda bad for Angel." Lauren said. Sonic had left the dinningroom, becouse he felt out of place. He came into the livingroom to find Lauren on the computer, talking to someone, whom he presumed to be Antonio, over webcam. ince he didnt seem to have noticed him, and made no indacation she was talking to him, Sonic didnt think that what she said was directed at him. He got his answer when the peron on the computer answered, but in a language he couldnt understand. Lauren shook her head.

"Angel is pregnant, and you know how much she sufferes when she is on her period. Giving birth is so much more painfull! At least she'll get a few months, free of pain, before morning sickness sets in." A pause, and Sonic sat down near the window, not really paying any attention to anything, but found himself drawn to what Lauren was saying.

"Yeah, but I wonder what kind of mother Angel will be. I know Sha-kun will be a great father, He was practically raising Chris the last time he was here, but I cant help but wonder about Angel. She didnt exactly have the 'loving parents' as you know. Chris and Sorincha barely saw their parents, but at least they were nice to them!" Lauren listened to Antonio talk, and Sonic was now intrigued. Angel had never said anything about her family, or her life with her parents, and now he knew it might not have been a happy one, so now he wanted to know more, but feared asking. Lauren sighed and shook her head.

"No, Angel always blames So-chan for that scar on her neck, becouse he begged her to. But no, she didnt actually get it that way. She'd kill me though if I told you how she got it." Sonic's heart slammed, and Lauren suddenly looked up at him, as if realizing he was there for the first time. The two just sat there, looking at each other for a few minutes, neither moving, and Sonic was barely breathing, till Lauren sighed, and sat up from her laying position on the couch. Sonic still didnt move, and Lauren said something in the same language Antonio was speaking, got a reply, then closed the laptop.

"Sonic, dont tell Angel or Chris about anything I just said. It's supposed to be a secret." Lauren looked troubled, so Sonic nodded.

"I promise."

'And I'll keep you to that promise. I remember the time Silver found out about the truth of Angel's 'family' life with her parents and brother. Trust me, it didnt end pretty, expecially since Silver really liked Angel. If it wasnt for the fact she was head over heels for Tsukasa, and had instantly dove to Sha-kun when Tsukasa died, he might be the father of Angel's kids right now instead. Now that I think about it, I wonder how Silver is.' Sonic was instantly confused. Silver?

'Not me, dumbass. Someone else.' Sonic was now curious. If it wasnt Seth, then who was the Silver Sorincha had mentioned. Sonice decided he would ask Chris later. A few secounds later Fox, Chris, Bill, Angel, and the rest of them left the dinningroom, and Fox and his gang started to head to the door.

"It was nice seeing you. We'll make a few rounds to see id we can spot Robotnik, like we promised, and if you see Silver, let him know he's welcome back anytime. We havent seen him since he left with you guys." Fox said as his group began to leave. Angel nodded, waving.

"I'll let him know. He might decide to stay though, as I'll also be offering him a place to stay here."

"You actually think Sha-kun and he will get along?"

"They always got along. I dont think it will make any diffrence now that I am officially with Sha-koi."

"I hope you're right on that..."

"With my powers, I know I'm right." Angel said, smirking. Since she was in her cat form at the current time, she looked a little cocky, but Fox just smiled and chuckled, understanding.

"Yes, sorry that I doubted you. Thin we'll find anything?"

"I know you will, but I need you to find Robotnik and Eggman for me. Something is blocking my visionary powers to the point where I cant make out locations. That's why I asked."

"Sometimes I wonder about that power of yours..."

"Comes with learning magic. Tsukasa had the same power."

"No honorific?" Fox asked, his tone humorous. Angel just looked at him blankly, then tunred and walked over to Lauren and sat down next to her. Chris had joined Sonic at the window, and Lauren was just staring into space, saying 'doom' lightly over and over again. It was honestly beginning to get a bit creepy. Fox shook his head, waved at Chris, who waved back, and then left.

"Anyone seen Knuckles and Miles?" Lauren suddenly asked. Angel actually looked suprised.

"Nope." She said. Sonic and Chris shook their heads in unison. Angel stood up and began to head towards the stairs.

"I'll go look for them." She said, heading up the stairs. Lauren went back to looking at random objects while repeating a single word, and Sonic began to question Chris about Silver, only to be cut off by a loud noise. The noise, was Angel, and she was screaming a few choice words, that made everyone start runnning up the stairs.

"OH MY GOD! MILES, WHY ARE YOU GIVING KNUCKLES A BLOW JOB?!?!?!"

---

Miles and Knuckles now sat on the couch, blushing and looking guilty, as Sonic and Chris sat back down at the window, and Angel and Lauren sat across from them. So-kun and Shadow stood at opposite ends of the room, and Cream, Amy, and Cheese sat on the carpet infront of the tv. Angel looked amused, as did Lauren, and everyone else looked a bit uncomfortable. Sonic felt a little amazed at there relationship, but otherwise was unfazed, as was Chris, but he seemed to have seen it comming. The group had discussed it for a bit, some saying how they were against what Miles and Knuckles did, and some encouraging. Actually, the only ones who didnt agree to their relationship, was Shadow, but he only complained about is how they might display their 'afffections' for the whole world, Sonic, and Seth. Sonic was suprised at Seth's disaprroval, but since the spirit only said he didnt like it once, then shut up, he didnt really care.

"So now what? Have you heard from Fox yet? How about Sha-kun?" So-kun asked suddenly, bringing attention away from Miles and Knuckles. Angel sighed, slouching a bit.

"We wont hear from Fox for at least another half hour, but Sha-koi should be back any time now."

'With a guest! I wonder if Silver, and Sha-kun will get into a fight. Hopefully not though'. Sorincha said. Sonic didnt show any interest, and found himself becoming a little drowsy actually. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and everyone looked up as Ella went to answer it. When she did, everyone heard her gasp, and two people entered. The first was Sha-kun, who promptly went to Angel's side, and questioned her about what had happened. The next person who came in, had actually given Sonic a calm feeling, but he wasnt sure why. Sorincha, and Seth seemed to have had the same feeling come to them. The person looked human, but his hair was as white as Angel's silver hued, white fur. His bangs seemed to stand at three inches, in spikes and the rest of his hair was let down. His eyes were a bright gold, and he was wearing blue jean pants, a white shirt, and a blue jean vest over that, with white sneakers. Angel smiled at him warmly.

"Been a while, Silver."

"Same here, Angel." He replied. Sonic had to admit, although his voice sounded young, it also sounded pleasent. He looked to be about seventeen, but Sonic guessed he would be older. Silver looked from Angel, to the rest of the group, nodding and saying his own, polite greeting to each and everyone one of them, untill he got to Chris and Sonic.

"Chris, it is good to see you in such high spirits. I am sorry I havent talked to you lately, I had been so busy." Chris shook his head at this.

"It's fine Silver-kun. I understand." Silver nodded, and turned his attention to Sonic.

"So you are Sonic, the one who is currently in a relationship with Christopther. It is nice to meet you. I am Silver the Hedgehog, although I am currently in a human form given to me by Angel."

Eggman stroked his beard thoughtfully. Robotnick was pissed off, as an unidentified object had got a lock on them, and then dissapeared before it could be destroyed.

"No matter." Robotnick said, strocking the blue metal armor of the machine on the table in an almost loving nature, "The seal was finally broken completely, and Metal Sonic was finally returned to me. We no longer need them to kill that whore's brother. In a few short days, Metal Sonic will rise again!"

Robotnick laughed loudly, and truimphantly, but Eggman was silent, thinking. He wasnt sure if he liked what Robotnick had in store for Sonic and his group. Metal Sonic was still dormant, becouse they still needed to upload his programming and what not, so this gave Eggman a few days to plan on what he actually wanted to do.

Ok, so not a long chappie, but some really important things did happen, and from here on out, its going to get pretty fast paced, up until the end. Some important characters were introduced here, the main one being Silver, but hopefully, things will get clearer soon. Oh, and I'm refering to the soul Silver/Seth as just 'Seth' now, becouse we have another character named Silver in here.

Terms of Interest:

Fox and Bill - They are a couple. I'm a fan of odd pairings, and I happen to be a FoxXBill fan, so ta-da! They are together in this!

'Sha-koi' - Angel's petname for Sha-kun. Koi, i think, is something you'd call your lover, so that is why she is using it as a suffix.

Angel's Scar/Secret of the past - This has a big significance to the story, maybe not this story in particular, but it is important. This is being used to show that Angel, Lauren, and even Chris arent being exactly truthfull about the past. If they are lying about how Angel got that scar though, what else could they be lying about? -hint hint-

Silver the Hedgehog - There is a funny story about this actually. A friend at school happened to draw Silver (from the new video game, and he drew him really really well) and showed it to me, and I instantly thought he had just made an original character, but insisted that he was a character from the newer games, and that I should look it up. So I did, and guess who feels like a dumbass. Me. Anyway, I found out I needed a new character, becouse of a plot thing that'll happen later, so when my friend showed me the picture, I thought he would be a likely candidate for that slot. He is filling it nicely. I havent played the games, so sorry if I butcher his Character comepletly, but I really just dont know much about him, aside from what was on wikipedia.

Silver the Hedgehog (2) - His past with Angel seemed a little complex. No one is really sure how the two met, since they seemed to have known each other since before the Star Fox incident. He did seem to have feelings for Angel, even to the point where he was jeleous of Sha-kun, but subsided those feelings, becouse Angel loved him as a brother, and not as a lover. He felt content to know that she was happy. No one seems to have known where he went after the Sorincha incidents, but he seems to have spent some time with the older Knuckles in the ruins, and then some time at Knothole village.
