so, yeah, enjoy

Tails' baby blue eyes frantically scanned the vacuum of space for a speck of gold, hopefully beaming as it voomed in closer and waved.

His two tails twisted in worry as all he continued to see was black. He felt the others beside him fidget uneasily.

Knuckles voiced everyone's concerns.

"What's taking those two so long?!" He complained almost too loudly. "You'd think they'd come back by now."

Rouge frowned at him before she raised her wrist to her mouth, the device on her wrist emmiting static.

"Shadow? Come in, Shadow. Shadow, can you read me?" No one answered and Rouge's brow furrowed in concern.

They all stared out the window once more.

The door slid open. Tails and Rouge turned in unison, hope in their eyes.

"Shadow?"

"Sonic!"

That wasn't Shadow or Sonic. They didn't know who that was. He looked incredibly unstable, panting as he wrapped tan arms around himself. His eyes darted around the room, flashing green, red, and purple.

Everyone took a step back, Knuckles stepping in front of Amy and Tails, snarling at the stranger.

Rouge eyed him uneasily. She spoke into her device once more.

"Shadow, we need you here, we got a potential threat in the area-"

Rouge stopped.

Her voice was coming from a similar watch on the strange hedgehog's wrist. He looked down on it, his eyes staying a passionate, familiar red before continuing on its flashing pattern. Rouge's face twisted into a frown, concern evident on her face. Tails darted past Knuckles and Amy, standing besides the bat with an equally worried expression.

The hedgehog's dilating eyes focused in on the two tailed kit, eyes turning a calming and trusting emerald green. He took a shuddering step towards him.

"Tai-" The hedgehog started before recoiling back. The voice had sounded wrong, two voices blending to make some sort of sound. At first, it had sounded like Sonic, the voice calling out to Tails almost pleadingly, but another voice joined the din, unwilling to ask for help of any sort.

"Sonic?" The fox asked with a tilt of his head. Concerned blue met confused green.

"Yes." The hedgehog -Sonic- replied, voice familer. "And no."

Rouge blinked, regonizing the other tone that had followed.

"Shadow, are you in there too?" Rouge found green quickly fading to red with an almost insane grin of relief.

"Yes! I'm in here with me!" Shadow seemed to call out, Sonic joining in the last second. "We're stuck."

Shadow- Sonic- whoever now looked torn, stuck between grabbing Tails for a hug or noggie, or running away as fast as he could.

Rouge faltered, she didn't know what to do. This was something entirely new. She didn't know how to help, how to get to the bottom of this. Tails didn't either, stepping them nervously. They almost frantically stepped backwards, nearly tripping over themselves as thier eyes widened and their breathing grew panicked. Tails stepped back, clearly the...fusion was in shock or wary for perhaps the reason they were stuck as one.

This had to be done with tact and consideration.

"What in Gaia's name happened to you two?!" Knuckles demanded, clearly concerned as he joined the party. Rouge growled under her breath, Tails mentally facepalming. Knuckles clearly hadn't thought this through.

The fusion looked like all of it wanted to run, eyes darting between the three and the door. They were probably trying to figure out where exactly to hide.

"We- I- he- falling - space, gonna-gonna, fall, die, Shadow- idiot, idiot,idiot!" Their voices clashed, clamboring over each other in one mouth, words lost to what could only be described as static or gibberish. Claws poked out of torn gloves and into their sides as they tightened the grip around themselves. It almost seemed like they were arguing with each other inside their combined head. "HE WAS GOING TO, SHOULD OF LET ME, STUPID, IDIOT, MORON, DUMBA-"

Their maniac rant was stopped by a flash of pink, darting past Knuckles, past Rouge and Tails, Amy Rose coming to the rescue. She stopped shy of two steps away from the fusion.

The combined duo jolted, taking a few frantic steps back, trying to put distance between themself and the bubblegum pink girl.

Amy was not deterired by this, grassy green eyes burning with determation and eagerness to help. She stayed where she was, hands up where they could see. She slowly, painfully closed the distance between them. Taking two steps for Shadow and Sonic's one.

She just as slowly lowered her hands, ignoring the flinch she gained when she removed their hands from their side.

"Hey." Her voice came softly, still commanding despite the gentleness. "Hey."

The multicolored eyes finally met hers, searching light green for……. Something.

"Start from the beginning. Go as slow or as fast as you two need to."

The hedgehogs squared nodded, hands shaking in hers. They took a deep breath.

"I was...We were…." They stopped, confusion and frustration crossing their face yet again.

"Take your time." Amy reminded him patiently. They hesitated for a minute before speaking again, slower this time.

"I was in space with me, ya know, and I started falling and I reached to catch me but I couldn't reach me and I was gonna fall and I grabbed me but I should of just let me fall and if i fell, it would have been my fault and I couldn't let me die and-" The duo seemed almost desperate to convey something, to themselves or Amy, no one knew. They put their head in their hands. "-but I had fulfilled my purpose but that's not what life is about and-"

Amy took his hands away from his face, shushing him gently.

"Do you know how you two got together?"

They shook their head, avoiding eye contact as they blinked away tears.

"No. There was a bright light and then we were...like this."

"Well…" she frowned sympatheticly before smiling with encouragement. "We'll find a way to fix this, okay, Shadic?"

"Shadic?" The hedgehog asked, confused. Amy nodded eagerly.

"It's your names combined! Do you like it?" She asked the last question hopefully.

They puzzled over the name before they smiled, like the sun coming out after a storm.

"It'll be perfect." The newly dubbed Shadic answered. Amy smiled back at them, turning to the others with her usual determined fire.

"Well? Are you all coming or not?" Amy demanded, nodding towards the door.

Rouge just smiled, fluttering after the three- two- hedgehogs. Tails frowned anxiously, Knuckles patting him on the shoulder as they followed close behind. Eggman stayed behind.

He was still trying to connect the idol of his youth to the monster of the present. That would take time.

All of this would take time.
