Title: Sonic the Hedgehog: The Iblis Trigger

The Disclaimer is in the prologue.

THIS IS A MUST READ! I got a review from someone asking why Silver doesn't know Knuckles if he's from the future. I can't tell any of you, because it would spoil the rest of the story. Silver wasn't interested in them. Only Sonic, because he was the Iblis Trigger. This is only half of the reason. I can't tell you the rest until later on in the story. All right, here's chapter 1!

Chapter 1: Silver the Hedgehog?

Knuckles was baffled. Who was this "Silver?" Why had he come to the gentle floating island? How had he even arrived to this altitude?

"Silver? Where did you come from?"

"You didn't even answer my question though. I feel so ashamed," Silver said sarcastically.

"I'm being serious here. Where did you come from?" Knuckles's eyes grew fierce, and he wanted Silver off of his island immediately. His blood boiled with a hot intensity.

"How can I trust you when I just met-" Silver stopped in the middle of the sentence. He looked at the six emeralds glowing beautifully at the top of each pillar. One pillar was empty. "The Chaos Emeralds? Wait…" Silver thought for a while.

This is Angel Island, where the emeralds were back in this time. So…why are they with this echidna? He thought. If only I could remember…

"Uh…hello! You there!" Knuckles shouted. Silver just ignored him.

"That's right! You're Knuckles the echidna! You're the guardian of these emeralds! If I'm not mistaken, that big gem behind you his the Master Emerald!"

"Wait. How did you-"

"You're doing a bad job as a guardian. Where's the last Chaos Emerald?" Silver said very smoothly.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the Master Emerald is safe, the Chaos Emeralds have no absolute power," Knuckles explained.

"Whatever. Give me those emeralds. Now. And that includes that Master Emerald. " Silver demanded immediately and suspiciously.

Knuckles burst out laughing. Of course he wasn't going to give away the emeralds just like that. Little tears started to form out of his eyes. He almost fell down the shrine.

"I'm serious," Silver said impatiently. He crossed his arms and started to tap his foot up and down, waiting for Knuckles to stop.

"You have GOT to be kidding me! You want MY emeralds! HAHAHA!" Silver just sighed. He didn't want to waste his precious time waiting for a maniac echidna to stop chuckling like a total moron.

"Fine, if you won't take them, I'll just take them from you," Silver said. Knuckles finally stopped laughing.

"If you want these emeralds, you'll have to get through me!" The red echidna said pointing to himself.

"Fair enough." Silver reached out one of his hands, and Knuckles could see a weird symbol on it. He closed his eyes.

"What in the hell are you doing?" Silver ignored him again. Knuckles looked at the pillars, only to see every single Chaos Emerald covered in some kind of blue aura.

"What! What's going on!" Silver finally opened his eyes. The Chaos Emeralds were revolving around him.

"Thanks! Time for the big mama!"

"What?" Knuckles said. He looked behind him, and saw that the giant green emerald was now in a blue aura. "No way in hell are you taking this!" Knuckles angrily replied. He grabbed onto the end of the Master Emerald, which was now floating in the air.

"Get…off!" Silver said, waving his hand back and forth. The Master Emerald too was vibrating violently. Unfortunately for Silver, Knuckles was very persistent, and very determined.

Silver looked around quickly, while vibrating the Master Emerald and Knuckles. It took him a while, but he finally spotted a pebble in the middle of the grass. With his other hand, he used the same telekinesis he was using on the emeralds. The pebble lifted up, and Silver threw it straight at Knuckles's head, who immediately fell off. All seven emeralds were floating around Silver.

"Hey! That was completely uncalled for! These emeralds belong to me!" Knuckles said, sitting on the grass rubbing the bump on his head.

"Hey, without me, the world will be totally messed up, thanks to the idiotic Iblis Trigger. It's up to me. I need to save my time AND yours," the white hedgehog explained.

"Iblis Trigger? Your time? What are you talking about?" Knuckles said, getting back up on his feet.

"Of course, you wouldn't understand. As I told you earlier, I'm Silver the Hedgehog, and I'm here to save the world from a blue hedgehog known as in my time as the Iblis Trigger-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you just say 'Blue Hedgehog?'" Knuckles asked.

"Yes…why?" Silver gasped. "Wait! Do you know him! If so, you MUST tell me!" Silver said as if a principal were trying to get a student to tell him the truth.

"And just why should I do that?"

"Because he's going to be the cause of the disaster!"

"What are you talking about? What disaster? Everything is perfectly fine," Knuckles said, spreading his arm out the opposite way he was facing (which was the shrine) to show the peace and tranquility of Angel Island. "That is, until you showed up," he said pointing to Silver.

"Oh shut it. You don't even understand," Silver said rudely.

"Of course I don't understand! I was so relaxed and stress free! Then YOU came along and started talking nonsense!"

"NONSENSE?"

"Yes, nonsense."

"I had heard that echidnas were ignorant, but I never figured they would be THIS ignorant!" Silver said turning his back on Knuckles.

"Just give me the damn emeralds and leave. I don't need some deformed hedgehog coming around taking my emeralds and making up some excuse!"

"Pfft. An excuse. Well guess what? I'm taking these emeralds whether you like it or not," he said in a smooth, gentle tone.

"You don't understand. It's my duty to protect these emeralds. I'm the last of the echidnas. The echidnas are the only ones to protect these emeralds. Not some random hedgehog." It was then Silver realized that he had to respect Knuckles's determination. Not everyone would just let some random guy come in and take his or her valuables.

"I must admit, you're very persistent," Silver said. He sighed, and took some deep thought into what he was thinking. "If you really want to protect these gems…come with me. I'll explain everything to you on the way to our destination," he said reluctantly as he faced the stony, white bridge.

Knuckles was shocked. First they were fighting like a married couple (I DO NOT SUPPORT KNUCKLES/SILVER IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING), but then Silver started to respect Knuckles, as if he were his friend.

"What's the catch?" Knuckles finally said.

"There is none. I can guarentee you that I am not tricking you." Silver said, but then Knuckles thought of the times Eggman had tricked him…

Flashback

Why this isn't a piece of the Master Emerald, it's a Chaos Emerald. Sonic is stealing you're pieces!

--

Knuckles! I didn't break your emerald! Sonic and Tails did!

--

I'm not lying to you this time! Rouge took it and must have broken it! This is a green Chaos Emerald!

--

Knuckles! This blue hedgehog named Sonic and this yellow fox named Tails are going to come here to take your emeralds! You must stop them!

--

It was Shadow!

--

It was Big the Cat!

End Flashback

Knuckles shook his head to take the thoughts out of his mind. He wasn't sure whether to believe if this hedgehog was a spy for Eggman, or if he was actually telling the truth.

"What's your answer? Either I take the emeralds with me, with you along, or I go alone without you. What will it be?" Silver said.

Knuckles hadn't thought of the fact that Silver had the emeralds in front of him. He had no other choice but to go. What else could he do? He was the guardian of these powerful jewels after all. There was no way he could take them back from Silver anyways, as Silver would just use his telekinetic abilities.

"All right. I'll go," the red echidna said reluctantly.

"Your choice. I honestly wouldn't have cared if you didn't go. Come on, I'll explain what's going on during the way to our destination."

"Where are we going?"

"You said you knew the blue hedgehog, right?"

"Yeah…"

"Well, that's WHO we're going to." It had finally occurred to Knuckles that Silver DOES need him. To find Sonic…the so called "Iblis Trigger."

Done. Why is Knuckles willing enough to betray Sonic for the emeralds? Why does Silver think Sonic is this so called "Iblis Trigger?" You'll find out sooner or later!
