(Silver's POV)
Back at the bell tower of Notre Dame, the gang brought food for me to eat. For a guy like me with a very high metabolism, I just can't get enough of eating. Rouge even stole silverware and a plate to help me eat normally.
"Looks like you are telling truth, Silver. You are alive. Judging by your starvation, wounds, and sleep. Real angels are dead people in heaven, they can't feel starvation nor get injured because they're dead." Tails said, scanning my internal body and found my heart rate normal.
"Well, that makes me the first living angel," I replied.
"And according to my X-ray scanner, your wings are like an eagle's wings connected with your shoulder blades." Tails said.
"No wonder it felt painful when they appeared," I said while having my drink.
"And the halo ring combines you with angel ability. That's another reason why it won't come off until you do something good to defeat a demon army and save humanity." Tails said.
"That's until I get to face Iblis himself too," I said.
I suddenly held my head in pain for another altered memory of myself saving Blaze from a group of bullies, "Argh! These altered memories are giving me a headache." I groaned.
"It's a good sign, Silver." Tails said.
"Even if it's a good sign, I don't know if my alternative self will remember all of you," I said.
"If you do keep them, you'll have to live with it, Silver," Rouge said.
"That would also mean I won't be able to travel in the past again. It would be like I never remember being a time traveler." I said.
"Better keep it safe," Rouge said.
"Rouge, you don't understand. If I fix the past, my future will get altered. Meaning it would erase the original events to a new one along with mine and everyone's memories altered. Iblis needs to be erased in your timeline to prevent history repeating itself." I said, eating fish meat.
"Oh, poor boy." Rouge sighs.
Once I finished my dinner, Rouge sat next to me to comfort me. Even though she's four years older than me she acts like a kind big sister when needed. So she hugged me.
"Thanks." I hugged her back.
"Very auntie of you, Rouge." Shadow scoffed.
"Why? Can't I at least show my soft side?" Rouge replied.
"You rarely do," Shadow said.
I see Sonic and Amy arriving with a sword that they found deep in the catacombs they went to hours ago.
"Silver, this sword isn't mortal made. I think this was made by the angels." Amy said.
"What makes you say that?" I asked.
"It has angel wings on the cross-guard" Sonic showed it.
"The sword of Uriel." I gasped.
"Yes, it calls for you," Sonic said.
"This weapon that slays demons," I said as I observed it.
"Yes. But use it wisely." Sonic said.
"I will, I trust you all with my heart." I held the sword up.
"Where can Iblis be? He can be anywhere in plain sight. This is a waste of time!" Shadow was very angry that we spent time-fighting demons instead of finding Iblis.
"Well let's find him tomorrow," I said.
"Also, I need a black mask to hide my identity from my altered younger self. I saw my memories getting altered and my younger self saw me fighting Iblis. Iblis might try to kill my younger self in an altered future. I cannot let that happen or my existence will go, poof, like I never existed" I said.
"Alright, will this do?" Amy took out a mask and gave it to me.
"That's exactly what it looked like in my altered memory. Where did you get this?" I asked.
"From a local store," Amy said.
"Thank you." I put the mask on covering my entire face.
"Heh, who are you, guardian angel?" Sonic pretending who I am.
"Yeah, I am the truth, justice, and the French way." I joked back.
"Welcome to Earth, mighty guardian angel!" Sonic laughed.
"Oh, guardian angel, are you here to protect humanity from demons?" Amy pretending to be surprised.
"Yes to bring villains down and destroy all evil." I continued.
"Correction, those who have very sinful deeds are very evil. Good and bad can come from anyone. I was once a villain but became an anti-hero." Shadow said.
"Oh, right of course." I chuckled.
"Oh, Silver. If I was your biological mother, I would guide you with kindness. Just like I guide Sonic to knowing what it means to be a true hero." Amy said.
"You remind me a bit of her. She was white like me." I said.
"Do I get to be your daddy, my son?" Sonic teasing me with his cocky attitude.
"Alright stop that Blue Daddy." I teased back in a fake annoyed tone.
Suddenly, we heard tourists screaming in terror like something or someone scaring them off. We looked out the window and saw what appears to be a woman with snake hair turning innocent people into stone by looking at her.
"Medusa? I just thought that's Greek mythology." Tails said.
"It seems that Iblis brought her back to life from Hell. Stay here, guys. With my angel form, she can't turn me into stone. I think." I said, since I'm an angel, she can't turn me into stone.
The people looking directly at her got stoned while the others looking away just kept running and not looking back. Okay, Silver. You have a sword that kills immortals. Medusa may have been mortal and brought back to life, her soul is still claimed by Satan or probably Hades.
I flew down slowly and landed on the ground to get her attention, "Hey Medusa!" I called out to her.
"You! You're the angel that Iblis warned me about?!" Medusa hissed.
As I looked directly at her, I'm unharmed. Thank god, "Heh, yup. It seems your body and head are back together. Did you and Perseus get along in the underworld? I love to hear great stories." I said and we walked around in dominance.
"Enough! You, teenagers, are like annoying children that talk too much!" Medusa yelled.
"My sword here says it wants your head. It senses your fear the last time Perseus chopped your head off." I smirked and held out my sword.
"RAAAAAGH!" Medusa lunged at me but I dodged.
I slashed at her but missed her head, "Not this time!" She turns and whacked me with her tail.
"AGH!" I was thrown against the cathedral door with a dislocated shoulder, I got up and popped it back to its normal position which made me groan a little from the loud bone crack, "And I thought the underworld was your home, Medusa." I said and tried again.
"Not anymore!" She grabbed me and pinned me to the ground.
"Agh! Okay, you asked for it!" I blasted her off me with my ESP powers.
Medusa growls in anger and I stood ready with my sword, "I will not go down again! Perseus may have killed me but you will not this time!" She tries to attack me with her sword but I clashed my sword with hers.
"Even if Athena went too far to turn you into a monster but you're the one to blame for having an affair with Poseidon in her temple!" I grunted to pushed forward.
"Well, when I'm finished with you, he's next!" Medusa pushed back.
"Not a chance, gorgon! Your gaze is putting everyone in danger! I'm not letting you live!" I strained and pushed her down.
Medusa got back up and clashed with her sword again but this time more intense. I growled with justice as we glared at each other for intimidation.
"Die mortal!" She was about to deliver the final blow at me.
I unexpectedly turned into a spirit deer with antlers and her sword went right through me like a ghost.
"What in Hades?!" Medusa did not see that coming.
I couldn't talk but I did stand up by waving my hooves like a male deer fighting and I pranced around, trying to confuse her but then turned back as an angel hedgehog.
"Say hello to Hades for me!" I ran and slashed my sword at her neck, decapitating her.
Her corpse and severed head turned into crackling stone as it crackled to pieces. The victims that were turned into stone came back to flesh and blood.
"Rest in pieces." Sonic ran up to the scene.
"That was unexpected, Silver. You just turned into a deer." Amy said.
"I don't know how I did. Probably my animal spirit is a deer. Just like you always say you have the animal spirit of a cheetah, Sonic." I said.
"Yeah Silver. It suits me well." Sonic said.
"Is it because your forelocks are like a deer's antlers?" Shadow teased my quills.
"You could say that." I shrugged.
"I'll say this very motherly, Silver. Everyone has an animal spirit within. America is like the eagle, Australia is like kangaroos, China is like tigers." Amy said.
"Ohhhhh...thank you, mom." I couldn't help but tease her.
"No problem my son." She ruffled my wing feathers.
"You fought and looked directly at a monster without turning into stone? No one has ever fought a real gorgon directly." Blaze said.
"My angel powers protect me," I said.
"Oh yeah. Was her eyes as ugly?" Sonic asked.
"No one likes her eyes," I said.
"I mean what did her eyes look like?" Sonic asked again.
"Oh, they were like a snake's eyes, green color," I answered.
"Oh right of course." Sonic understood.
"When we saw you decapitated that monster, the people that were turned to stone came back," Rouge said.
"I saw that. Now I wonder what Iblis is cooking up for the next plan?" I looked in the sky.
Suddenly, another altered memory of calling Shadow my father and teaching me to master my telekinesis. I gasped in horror but quickly pretended that nothing happened.
"What's wrong? Another altered memory kicking in?" Rouge asked.
"Yeah...just nothing special, that's all," I said sheepishly.
"Very well." Rouge shrugs it off.
No, it cannot be, Shadow can't be my father, I've seen my real father with my own eyes. Or perhaps the other hedgehog was not my father.
"I need to be alone." I flapped my wings and flew to the Eiffel Tower that has its lights on.
I need to think, is Shadow my dad or is it a coincidence he just resembles him? My friends did say he's immortal and ageless, what if he lived forever and came into my future timeline? I landed on the top of the Eiffel Tower to think. But I know for sure Rouge's not my mother since she's with Knuckles. These time alterations are gonna drive me nuts. It's like my future has changed but I have two side timeline memories combined.
