Book Two: Chapter Twenty-Six: Truth Revealed

June 29: Demise's Hideout: 16:00

Zyon thinking: I need to find out what happened, but I don't want to ask Demise for the answers...I wonder if that hedgehog and his friends know anything...

Zyon teleported away to the island.

Meanwhile...


Sonic was running on the water's edge, with Amy close behind him. Then, Zyon teleported behind him. Sonic turned around.

Sonic: Zy...

Zyon grabbed Sonic by the neck and began to strangle him. Amy was trying to pull Zyon's arm off Sonic.

Amy: Let... go!

Zyon swatted her away and she fell to the ground. She got back up and watched while Sonic was being strangled.

Sonic: A-Amy!

Sonic was trying to pull Zyon's arms off his neck. Then, Knuckles charged toward Zyon, fist-first. He knocked Zyon away from Sonic, who landed on his feet.

Sonic: What'd you do that for?!

Zyon: I have my reasons...I have a proposition. You help me find out what happened when I met Demise, and I'll try and keep him from killing you and Shadow for a while.

Sonic: And why would we do that?

Zyon: Trust me; I hate him as you do. He tricked me into leaving all I ever loved, and I want to know how and why. Then, I'll be able to go back in time and prevent any of this from ever happening.

Knuckles walked up to Sonic and began to whisper to him

Knuckles: So, what do you think?

Shadow: It's a safe bet.

Sonic turned and saw Shadow walking toward them. Amy got off the ground and walked back over to them.

Amy: Well, despite what happened, I think it's pretty safe. I mean, why would he come here and strangle Sonic for no reason?

Sonic: Fine... Amy, go get Tails, and tell him to bring the portable computer.

Amy ran off, and in a few minutes came back with Tails. After Tails set up the software, he began to hack into camera systems.

Tails: Zyon, where were you when you met Demise?

Zyon: I was in front of the store, "Technician's Paradise". I was picking up gear for a defense system, and it was 10 at night, when the store normally closes. It was June 15.

Tails typed in the time, place, and date. He hacked into the system, and came across the footage. He played it, and it shocked everyone.
