"Why do you fight? Why do you not give in?" "Because... If I don't fight... who will?" A story of how one young man went from being a lone hero without a name to the protector of the universe, and his and his friends' adventures in between. Includes stories of how Sonic met Tails and co., the rise and fall of Dark Gaia and Iblis, and the origins of the mysterious Chaos Emeralds.

A series of often unrelated oneshots based off of characters, scenes, and so on from Hero and its related stories. Some oneshots will be related to each other (I will let you know when they are). Read the author's note at the top of the first chapter for a more complete description of how this story works. Involves all characters (Sonic, Jet, Vanilla, Blaze, Rouge, etc.)

The eye of the storm is misleading and dangerous. Never turn your back on it, for the worst is yet to come. Darkness is coming… A new storm, a kind not seen for eons, is brewing on the horizon. Evil is rising, bringing with it death and suffering. The darkness is coming to life... and this time, the heroes may be helpless to stop it. (Sequel to Hero.)
