I bet everyone was surprised to see Blaze, Silver, and Mephiles in the last chapter. I'll be including some more characters in the story, so watch out for that. If any of you guessed what ships will be in the story besides Sonadow, its gonna have Blazamy and Mephilver. There might be a couple more, so watch out for that. Hope you all like this chapter!


Both swords clashed with one another, trying to overpower their opponent. The challengers continued to battle each other, one gaining the upper hand and the other not backing down. The female purple cat who wore armor used her sword Laevatein to slash at her opponent: a male silver-white hedgehog clad in armor. Luckily, he blocked the attack with his sword Cinquedea.

The battle continued, as they both tried to defeat the other. Soon, their match ended when the Silver Knight yielded in defeat, sword pointed at him as the Knight of the Grail took a few steps backwards and placed her sword back in its sheath. "Thou have done well, Sir Galahad. Thou was able to land a few hits on me."

"I thank thee for thy praise, Sir Percival," Sir Galahad bowed in respect. "I shall take it thy heart."

As they both shook each other's hands as a sign of respect, clapping was heard, causing them to turn their heads to see Sir Lancelot approaching them, along with the new King Arthur and his sword Excalibur. "Thou have impressed me with thy skills. Sir Percival, I thank thee for the wonderful battle."

Percival bowed with grace. "Tis no problem at all, Sir Lancelot."

Lancelot looked at Galahad. "Galahad, thy have improved so much. Continue to master thy skills."

"I shall, father," Galahad bowed to him.

"That was definitely a splendid performance," Sonic piped up. "You guys have the best moves."

"We are pleased to hear our majesty enjoyed our battle," Percival answered.

"Truly a remarkable battle. The king is content in watching your match," Caliburn replied.

"Many thanks for enjoying our battle," Galahad said, and then gazed at Sonic. "My king-

Sonic placed his hand up to stop him. "Like I said before, you can just call me Sonic. No need to call me the king, majesty, or any of that royal stuff. Remember, I wish to be treated as a normal person."

"I understand, sire. I just have one small request."

"Well then, what is it?"

"I beg thee to have a match with me."

"Galahad," Lancelot warned him with a stern expression. "Our king is much too busy. He cannot-

"Sounds good to me!" Sonic interrupted, approaching the battlefield. "I am curious to know how tough you are, Galahad."

Lancelot is surprised at his answer. "S-Sire, are you certain? His power is strong like mine."

Sonic brought Caliburn out, who is in Excalibur form. "Which will make the match interesting. I wanna know if he's powerful like you, Lance."

Caliburn sighs. "Don't get too cocky, knave. Remember, Sir Galahad had been trained for years by Sir Lancelot. His power is almost strong like Sir Lancelot's. Thou must be cautious."

"And I thought we got rid of the knave part."

"You will always be knave to me."

"Was that an insult or a compliment?"

Galahad, pleased that the king accepted his request, went to the other side of the field to face Sonic, bringing his weapon out. "Prepare, your majesty! I won't go easy on you!"

Sonic grinned. "Same here! Bring it on!"


Blaze blinked at his question. "I'm sorry?"

Sonic realized he said it without thinking, and nervously rubbed the back of his neck while chuckling in embarrassment. "Sorry. You two reminded me of someone I knew from the past."

"It's quite all right. Though I am surprised you know the names of the Knights of the Round Table from the tale of King Arthur."

"Wait, you know about the Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur?"

"It is one of my favorite stories to read. I can recall all the important figures who associate with King Arthur."

"Then what about the swords?"

"You mean Excalibur?"

Amy cleared her throat to interrupt their conversation. "I apologize for the interruption, but we still need to introduce each other."

"Oh yeah, right," Sonic cleared his throat, and pointed to himself with his thumb. "Sonic the Hedgehog. Nice to meet you!"

"Blaze the Cat. An honor to meet you," Blaze placed her hand on her chest, and did a small bow.

"And I'm Silver the Hedgehog," Silver replied, staring at Shion in awe. "I never thought I would actually see a baby hedgehog."

"Your baby is adorable," Blaze smiled.

"Thank you," Sonic gazed at Shion with a soft smile, who snuggled against Sonic. "His name is Shion. Shion Lancelot Hedgehog."

Silver looked at Shion, and then saw the others. His eyes darted back and forth between Shion & Shadow, and then looked at Shadow. "I'm guessing you're the little guy's father?"

Shadow arched his eyebrow, folding his arms over his chest. "What gave you that idea?"

"He does share your appearance except for the eyes."

"True, but I have never mated with Sonic."

"Let's not scar anyone, Shadow!" Sonic covered Shadow's mouth before he could say more, and quickly removed his hand to avoid having it bit. He forgot Shadow has sharp fangs. "Also, that's Shadow the Hedgehog."

Tails waved at them. "I'm Miles Prower, but you can call me Tails."

"I am Knuckles, the strongest person in the whole wide world!" Knuckles flexed his biceps to make himself look tough.

"The two of you also know me and Sticks," Amy pointed to herself and to Sticks. "Thank you for joining us for movie night."

"We are grateful for the invitation. It has been a while since we last saw a movie," Blaze informed her.

"Then you're gonna love watching the movies we picked! We have comedy, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, horror-

As Amy continued to list all the movie genres to Blaze, Silver continued to study the whole group, surprised that Shadow resembled his teammate. Mephiles never mentioned about any family members, or anything about his past. Hopefully, Mephiles and Shadow will get along well, even if they have different personalities.

"So, what brings you to Hedgehog Village?" Sonic asked.

Silver smiled a little. "My team and I wanted to take a small vacation, somewhere where there's peace and quiet. A friend of ours suggested coming here, saying the beaches are wonderful and there's a lot of places we can explore."

Tails snapped his fingers. "We can give you all a tour! We know the best places here on this island!"

"You can also join my gym. Lucky for you, it's free," Knuckles pointed out.

"Thanks," Silver chuckled, then glanced at Sonic & Shadow. "It is surprising to learn I would meet some more hedgehogs. I can't remember how long since I've last seen one." He looked at Shion, waving at him. "First time I met 2 male hedgehogs raising a baby hedgehog they both made."

Sonic turned red, nervously stuttering while trying to explain to Silver it's not what he's thinking. Shadow looked away, not wanting anyone to see his cheeks turning red. Tails facepalmed at Silver's statement, while Knuckles scratched the side of his head in confusion. Luckily, they didn't dwell on the subject when Amy called out to them.

"Guys! Let's start preparing for movie night!"

"Remember to check for any signs of government control!"

Blaze looked around, and glanced at Silver. "Silver, do you recall where Mephiles went?"

Silver shook his head. "I don't. He mentioned he was gonna check something and vanished before I could ask."

Sonic's eyes widened. "Mephiles? As in Mephiles the Dark?"

Shadow's glare turned fierce. "Let me guess, he also bears my appearance?"

Blaze nodded. "He does. Have you met him?"

Before anyone could answer, a laser had been shot on the sand near them. They all backed away, surprised to see a bunch of Bee Bots & Crab Bots heading towards them in a swarm. Obliterator Bot was with them, along with a certain villain hovering in his Egg Mobile.

"Hey losers! Mind if I crashed the party!?" Dr. Eggman cackled.

"Eggman!?" Sonic held Shion close, shielding him from view. "What are you planning this time!?"

"Since you decided to invite a couple of strangers over to movie day without me, I figured I could ruin it with a spoiler alert!" Dr. Eggman grinned maliciously. "Comedy Chimp's partner was a ghost!"

"Hey! We were gonna watch that movie!" Tails glared at him.

Blaze looked at Amy. "All of you know this person?"

Amy nodded, getting her hammer out. "He's an evil villain called Dr. Eggman. He always likes to cause trouble for us and for the village."

"But this time, he's gonna get it for trying to ruin movie day!" Sticks brought her staff out.

Just when the gang is about to fight, dark purple smoke erupted from the ground. The smoke widened, molding a shape to create a figure, and the smoke evaporated to reveal a black and blue hedgehog with glowing green eyes. His purple cloak fluttered from the breeze, as he gazed directly at Dr. Eggman & his robots. "Seems to me I have arrived on time."

Dr. Eggman gasped in astonishment. "Mephiles the Dark." He turned to look at his robots. "You guys, look! Mephiles is here! He answered my invitation!"

His robots looked at each other in confusion, and then back at their creator. They have no idea who Mephiles is, or why the doctor is freaking out over seeing him. Usually Shadow the Hedgehog would make him geek out, but now it's another dark hedgehog called Mephiles?

Orbot, who is riding on the Egg Mobile with Eggman & Cubot, tilted his head in confusion. "May we ask who he is?"

"Are you kidding me!? That right there is Mephiles the Dark!" Dr. Eggman pointed his finger at Mephiles, looking at his robots with a serious look. "He's only one of the most popular top 10 strongest villains in the whole canon!"

Dr. Eggman moved his Egg Mobile and parked it on the ground, jumping off it as he approached Mephiles. "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Mephiles! May I say you look truly evil in that cape!"

Mephiles studied Dr. Eggman, then turned halfway to look at the gang. "Who is this buffoon?"

"Oh, my apologies! I forgot to introduce myself!" Dr. Eggman cleared his throat, then did a dramatic pose that appeared evil. "I am the evil Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik! The evilest villain who is feared by all!" He did a mock bow. "It's a great honor to meet you in person, Mephiles the Dark."

No one said a word. Not even the robots made a sound. Sonic and the others were wondering what Mephiles is gonna do, while Eggman is still giddy over the fact he is talking to Mephiles, who looked like he didn't care what Eggman did. Shadow is wondering why that foolish Dr. Eggman would dare consider himself a villain when he can't take anything seriously. Not only that, but he also still must make Eggman pay for that comment he made towards him and Sonic. Their relationship is none of his business.

"Since you responded to my invitation, this means you wish to join Team Eggman, correct?" Dr. Eggman asked. "I have an opening left."

Mephiles stayed silent, tilting his head to look at Eggman with an odd gaze. Eggman could feel himself sweating, and he could feel the air getting heavy. He saw Mephiles bringing the palm of his hand out, purple lightning crackling from his hands as a dark purple orb had been formed, covered by the electrical sparks.

He then threw it at Obliterator Bot, who got hit by the orb and started electrocuting. The lightening spread and hit the rest of the Bee Bots & Crab Bots, causing them to get electrocuted and destroyed from the hit. Soon, Obliterator Bot was also destroyed, leaving nothing but a scorching mark on the ground.

Dr. Eggman gulped, backing away from Mephiles. "W-Would you like to be my personal bodyguard?"

Mephiles created another dark orb to launch his attack at Dr. Eggman, causing him to flee while screaming in fear to his Egg Mobile. As Eggman and his two robots quickly fled on the Egg Mobile, Mephiles stopped his attack and turned around to gaze at everyone. "Have I arrived on time?"


The fire crackled in its pit, as the whole gang sat around it while either talking, enjoying the silence, or roasting marshmallows. After the whole fiasco with Eggman, Mephiles was introduced as the final member of Team Future, and Team Sonic was stunned to hear he was once a former villain who turned over a new leaf.

"He truly has changed," Silver told them. "In the beginning, he was part of a dangerous experiment that involved controlling time and space. Because of that, both he and his powers known as Iblis got split in half."

"Thanks to a powerful scepter, we were able to save our future from the past," Blaze added, staring into the fire. "However, Mephiles disappeared after we stopped the crisis from happening."

"Until a few months later when he was discovered unconscious at a deserted area," Silver finished, glancing at Mephiles. "He no longer craves destruction or violence, but still has trouble showing emotions. We're still working on that."

Shadow tsked, folding his arms over his chest. "That still doesn't explain how he bears a resemblance to me."

Mephiles tilted his head sideways in curiosity, gazing at him with his glowing green eyes. "I was resurrected through your shade, Shadow. Too bad you have already forgotten me."

"What are you implying? I don't remember meeting you at all."

"We've never met, but I have seen you a long time ago," Mephiles folded his hands on his lap, sitting in a regal posture. "Such intense power emitting from you. There is no one else who can gain my respect except for you." His eyes flickered over to Sonic, then to Shion. "Though I must say. I never knew the ultimate lifeform would create a powerful pup."

Shion's ears flickered, cooing a little as Sonic adjusted him on his lap. He stroked his pup's quills, then looked at Mephiles. "You can sense their powers?"

"Indeed. Both your mate and pup wield such strong chaos energy."

"M-My what!?"

"Yes! My marshmallow is ready!" Knuckles held his slightly burned marshmallow on a stick close to his face, and took a huge bite out of it along with the stick. "Mm! Crunchy!"

"We definitely enjoyed movie night!" Silver covered Mephiles's mouth, even though he did not have one. "I really liked watching Comedy Chimp!"

Blaze nodded, glad Silver changed the subject. "I agree. Though I do enjoy watching The Golden Compass."

"Glad to hear that!" Amy nervously laughed, eyes darting between Shadow & Sonic who were busy hiding their blushing faces. "A-Anyone wish to see another movie? Or roast another marshmallow?"

Sticks tapped her chin in a thinking pose, staring at Mephiles. "I am curious on why he doesn't have a mouth. Are you a government experiment?"

Tails shook his head. "Besides that, I am curious on how strong your power levels are. Your strength and powers could rival Shadow's or Sonic's."

"I bet I can defeat Mephiles with just one punch!" Knuckles proclaimed.

"I wouldn't do that," Silver said, removing his hand from Mephiles's face. "He's actually one tough cookie."

Knuckles scratched his head with one finger. "He doesn't look like a cookie."

"He meant to say Mephiles is undefeatable," Tails explained.

"Oh, now I get it!" Knuckles placed his fist on the palm of his hand. "He's a tough cookie that is hard to crack!"

Team Sonic face-palmed at his statement, while Blaze covered her mouth to refrain from giggling and small snorts escaped from Silver. Shadow rolled his eyes in annoyance, while Mephiles chose to stare at the fire. Shion felt his stomach grumble, causing him to whine as Sonic checked to see what was wrong.

"Looks like you need a diaper change, shooting star. Good thing I have the diaper bag with me," Sonic placed a towel on the chair, placing Shion on it to lay down as he got the essentials out. "Tails, hold the plastic bag for me."

"On it!" Tails held the plastic bag.

Everyone watched as Sonic carefully changed Shion's diaper. Shadow and his friends are familiar with Sonic's routine on when Shion is hungry, sleepy, cranky, or needs a diaper change. Blaze & Silver were in awe that Sonic is able to easily change a baby's diaper, while Mephiles kept his neutral expression, though his eyes held a bit of curiosity.

As he finished cleaning Shion and putting a fresh diaper on him, he zipped up his green polka dot onesie, throwing the dirty items in the plastic bag for Tails to tie up. Sonic picked up Shion and kissed his cheek, cradling him in his arms. "Feel better now, my little star?"

Shion cooed, snuggled against his mama's arms as Sonic slowly rocked him back and forth. His green eyes focused on the stars twinkling at the night sky, warm against his mama's arms as he sucked on his tiny fist. Blaze awwed at how adorable Shion is, while Silver took a picture with his camera.

Shadow nearly smiled at the sight of Shion being adorable, but he won't let anyone see it. He's still iffy around Mephiles, and isn't sure why he's interested in his and Shion's powers. Either way, Shadow wants to see how powerful Mephiles is. Since he was able to vanquish Eggman's robots with one hit, then he could be a worthy opponent for Shadow.

Silver raised his hand. "I am curious about something."

"What's up?" Sonic asked.

"How did you and Shadow first met and had gotten together?"

"I too am curious," Mephiles added. "I wish to know when you two made the decision on having a pup together."

The first thing Shadow will do is make their deaths look like an accident. How are those two that idiotic into thinking he and Sonic are a couple? He specifically mentioned he never mated with Sonic. Did no one listen to him!?


"Take this!"

"Too slow!"

Sonic continued to use his Spin Dash Attack on Silver, who easily deflected them with his psychokinesis. Daytime had occurred, and everyone decided to enjoy their time outside at the beach after breakfast. Team Future spent the night at a resort they rented for their stay on the island, and were able to rest well thanks to movie night. Since they'll be here for about a week, it'll give them plenty of time to explore the island and meet new people.

Now, Sonic & Silver are having a practice match against each other, wanting to see what the other can do. Sonic was able to get a better look at Silver's powers, along with his appearance. He wore a turquoise bandana tied around his neck like a scarf, gold rings on his wrists and ankles, black and blue boots, and white bandages wrapped around his boots.

Since Galahad can use psychokinesis like Silver, then it's obvious what his next move will be. Sonic saw him using his powers to lift some heavy boulders, preparing to shoot at him. He used his super speed to hop on each boulder, avoiding getting hit until he was able to get close to Silver and used a spin dash to hit him in the stomach.

Silver lost control of his powers after the hit, falling to the ground as he groaned in pain. Their practice match ended, as Sonic landed near Silver and helped him up. "You're definitely one tough opponent. Your psychokinesis is awesome."

"Thanks. Your super speed is truly amazing," Silver replied, dusting himself off.

"Wanna go for another round?"

"You're on!"

"Ahem!" Amy interrupted them. "Later, you two. Right now, it's time for the tour!"

Sticks held Shion, who is playing with her necklace. "Where exactly are we going again?"

"We're gonna give Team Future the full tour of the island!" Amy excitedly claimed, pulling a map out from her pocket and unfolding it. "Luckily, I was able to draw out which places they must see first! We'll stop at the village first, and then move on to the outside landscapes!"

Blaze peeked from behind her shoulder. "Very impressive penmanship."

"Why thank you! I try to make my handwriting elegant and legible," Amy giggled with a small blush.

Sonic looked around. "I don't see Shadow nearby."

"Nor do I see Mephiles," Silver sighed. "I really hope he didn't wander off again."

"Shadow mentioned he and Mephiles were gonna talk about something in private at another location. He said they'll be back soon before dusk," Tails answered.

"Guess we'll have to start the tour without them," Knuckles said. "I know a good place we can go to first."

Amy sighs. "Knuckles, we are not going to the field of baby ducks. That place doesn't exist."

"It so does! You should see all those cute little ducks!" Knuckles pouted. "This time, they won't explode!"

"Then we can't go there. It's too dangerous, and we have a baby with us."

"I'm sure Shion won't mind seeing those baby ducks."

"Sorry Knucks, but no dangerous places for my baby. I prefer that he's safe with no scratch on him," Sonic added.

Knuckles groaned in defeat, while Tails patted his back for comfort. Sticks continued to distract Shion with her funny faces, who giggled. As everyone is ready to start the tour, Amy folded the map and placed it back in her pocket.

"All right! Time to start the tour!"
