Sonic the Hedgehog was floating endlessly through the twilight, a peaceful kind of feeling surrounding him. He felt like he could just fall asleep, and all his troubles would be over. Time didn't seem to matter here. He could have been floating for mere minutes, or maybe even years.

"Do you wish to be safe? Do you truly wish to merely remain here, safe?" a voice wondered, wandering through the hero's head, causing him to stir.

"Safe…Doesn't…everyone want safety?" Sonic wondered, "In a way?"

"But with safety comes a price. You may choose to remain here, and your Darkness will never be loose again."

"But my friends…"

"Will be safe from you. Do you really think that you can keep that Darkness in? You've let it already. It will grow, consume you, overtake you! You can not defeat the Darkness!"

"Come on Sonic! You're a Hero, are you really going to let this big voice keep you down?" another voice wondered. It sounded like Tails.

"Don't tell me you're giving up that easily Sonic," yet another voice, sounding like Knuckles, said from nowhere.

"Yah…" Sonic grinned, getting up, the nothingness around him taking shape, form. A few trees seemed to appear, grass growing underfoot, but the sky was still the color of nothing, as was the horizon.

"Alright then, I'm not backing down!" the blue hero shouted, pumping his fist into the sky, "I'll stop this Darkness in me and get back to my friends!"

"Fool…"

Sonic paused, then turned around slowly, a black hedgehog approaching him. It looked like Sonic, at least when he was in Super Form, but his fur was entirely black, his eyes blank and white.

"Heh," Sonic grinned, then ran forward at the highest speed he could muster at the close range, bringing his foot around for a devastating kick.

The black hedgehog flashed, the kick hitting nothing, and appeared behind Sonic, black Chaos Energy forming in his hands, and firing it forward, catching the Blue Blur off his guard, and sending him flying into a tree.

"Man…you're fast," Sonic muttered, jumping out of the tree, looking a little beat up, but still raring to go.

"Fool…" the black hedgehog repeated, stepping forward, the grass around him turning black, "I am you. I am as fast as you, as strong as you, as smart as you. The difference is…"

Silence, and suddenly the black hedgehog rushed forward, Sonic tried to move but found his feet encased in spheres of Darkness. The black hedgehog's elbow found itself in Sonic's gut, the blue hedgehog crying out in pain, doubling over, then felt a foot connect with the back of his head, and fell down into the ground.

"I do not fear my power," the Darkness in Sonic proclaimed, "When you use your power, you fear killing your opponent. When you block a punch, you fear taking a hit, and when you protect someone…

"You fear that you won't be strong enough."

Sonic merely coughed, laying on the ground, throbbing in pain from the damage done by his evil side.

"And here I thought you were stronger then that Sonic. Pick yourself up, Faker."

Shadow…

"I use to admire you for a reason Sonic. Don't give in!"

Amy…

"No…I'm not going to lose!" Sonic shouted, golden energy cascading around him suddenly, forcing the dark part of him back, Super Sonic ascending upwards into the 'sky', brown eyes gleaming with power.

"You're wrong. I do not fear my power…When I strike," Super Sonic began, and appeared behind DiS (Darkness in Sonic), and slamming his opponent forward with a blast of golden energy. "I wish for my opponent to see the light and have a second chance!"

"You can do it Mr. Sonic!"

Cream…

"When I block a blow," Super Sonic began, holding up his arms and creating a shimmering shield of golden energy that easily stopped DiS's black Chaos Spear, "I wish to stop the senseless violence."

"Prove to us you're a Hero, blue boy."

Rouge…

"And when I protect someone…" Sonic began, stepping forward towards his evil side, slamming the back of his palm into his cheek, forcing the black hedgehog down, then brought his other arm up, glowing with energy, also focusing his Wind Element into it.

"Sonic…Good luck."

Blaze…

"I DO SO WITH ALL MY MIGHT!" Super Sonic bellowed, bringing the spiraling golden globe of energy forward.

"SUPER SPIRALING SONIC SPHERE!!!"

There was an explosion of energy as the attack collided with his evil half…

"Still no signs of activity?" Knuckles wondered, peering into the medical bay in their house on Angel Island. Normalcy had been restored to the planet, for now. Sonic was brought up to Angel Island, still in his coma, where Tails watched over his friend nearly 24/7, usually accompanied by Blaze, who had also taken residence on Angel Island until Sonic awoke.

It had been a week since defeating Eggman on ARK.

Eggman had yet to be found, but was believed to be deep in hiding in a dense jungle of one of the southern continents. Search parties were still being organized to try and find him.

The alien life form known as Cosmo was also on Angel Island, and had learned a lot of the language, but was still learning, of course.

The Chaotix were currently on a very big case, having gained some fame with helping bring the world back to normal. It was rumored they might have to hire more help!

Amy and Shadow had disappeared almost as soon as things settled back to normal. They were probably off training still.

Silver was being kept in a maximum security prison, and several fail safes were made to make sure he couldn't escape.

Otherwise, all seemed quiet, and Sonic had yet to awaken.

There was a beep.

Tails and Blaze leaned forward after the beep. It measured brain wave activity, and something had sparked in Sonic.

Knuckles, who had been about to leave, paused as well, walking in as the beeping grew more frenzied, and then was one, long, continuous wail.

Sonic coughed, opening his eyes slowly, the green irises looking back and forth.

"Hey, shut off that noise. It's really annoying…" Sonic grinned weakly.

"SONIC!!!" Tails, Blaze, and Knuckles shouted in joy, leaping forward, and crushing the poor hedgehog in a monstrous death hug of joy.

"Ah! Geez, calm down guys! I can't breathe!" Sonic shouted, trying to break free.

They released him and all stepped back, looking at him with a smile.

"So…" Sonic began, looking around, "What happened?"

0000000000

Sand whipped around the hedgehog's a burning hot desert beating down on them, especially effective on the black and red hedgehog, who was tapping his feet impatiently on the sand, wrapped in a brown cloak to keep the sand out of his fur.

Miles away from him was the other hedgehog, also in the desert. She was also wrapped in a brown cloak, and holding a glowing white gem in her hand, focusing unto it.

She smiled, lifted it up, and said those two powerful words…

"Chaos Control!"

A warp field appeared around her, and with a glow she warped.

"Very good Amy!" the black hedgehog said, as Amy appeared by him in a flash of green light.

Amy grinned, and then the black hedgehog found himself being hugged, tightly.

"Thanks Shadow! I think I finally have Chaos Control down!" Amy grinned happily, "Now…will teach me the other Chaos moves?"

Shadow paused, the hug throwing him off, then coughed and smiled beneath his hood, "Of course Amy! I think Chaos Spear will be easier then Chaos Blast, of course."

Amy merely grinned and released Shadow, and stepped back.

"Alright now. I'll teach you Chaos Spear, the fundamentals of Chaos Blast, then we'll refine Chaos Control, got it?" Shadow asked, pulling out the red Chaos Emerald.

"Got it!" Amy grinned, as Shadow warped them away, to a better spot for the training…
