The next day, Shadow was riding his bike around the city. He was clearing his mind of seeing a charred body and witnessing someone shoot himself with his own weapon. Shadow could care less about Mephiles but watching him die broke him. It reminded him too much of Maria. Shadow picked up speed as he drove.

Silver and Blaze were also in town. They were one their way to the cafe where Sonic and Tails were waiting for them. Silver was nervous the whole time they were walking. Today was the day he was gonna confess to Blaze that he liked her. He wanted to get it off his chest before they both died.

"Blaze?" Silver began. Blaze turned around.

"Yeah Silver?" Blaze said.

"Can I talk to you about something?" Silver said. Blaze stopped in her tracks. Silver held her hand.

Meanwhile at the cafe, Sonic was drinking some coffee when he had a vision. He looked down at his coffee cup and saw a motorcycle crash into a building. Blood splashed everywhere along with faint screaming.

"Sonic?" Tails said seeing his brother stare at his cup. Sonic places the cup down.

"We have to go get Silver and Blaze"

"Listen Blaze" Silver said nervously.

"Are you okay Silver? What's wrong?" Blaze said.

"It's just. Ever since I met you, I always felt this feeling in my heart. You are the most beautiful person I've met Blaze-"

"SILVER LOOK OUT!"

Silver turned to see Sonic and Tails running towards him.

Shadow saw the four as he drove. He put his foot in the brake but for some reason the brake didn't work. Death's wind picked up in the city.

"Why won't it work?" Shadow said, continuing to slam the brakes. He was approaching the four quickly. Shadow decided to do something drastic. He drifted the bike to stop it from crashing but as he turned, he fell off the bike. The bike turned back around and crashed into someone, slamming into a building. Shadow got up and saw Sonic, Tails and Silver. Silver faced the wreckage and saw Blaze crushed by the motorcycle, blood everywhere.

"Blaze?" Silver said on the verge of a breakdown. His best friend was just killed and he was gonna confess to her. Now she'll never know his true feelings.

Silver cried out. Sonic and Tails were devastated by it. Suddenly another car comes by and hits Silver. He crashes next to Blaze, also bleeding. His lifeless arm touches hers.

Shadow runs over to the wreckage. Sonic and Tails stare at him.

"JET" They all yell.

The next day, the gang are at Sonic's house again. Amy was crying and now the whole gang was drinking alka sensors.

"Why did they have to die?" Amy said. "I just want this to end already. I don't want to lose any more of our friends"

Knuckles was watching the news and Sonic was busy having a breakdown.

"Jet's gonna die and then Infinite and then… Shadow. I don't want to lose him. He means so much to me…" Sonic said. Tails calmed down his friend. Knuckles suddenly looks up.

"Tomorrow is the Free Riders tech gear tournament. And the Babylon Rogues are attending. Something is bound to go wrong." Knuckles gets up.

"Let's get some rest. Tomorrow we leave for that tournament"
