It was 12pm; Sonic, Shadow, Silver, and Konton were hanging out at the hotel's pool. The hero of Mobius looked at the pool, shaking in his beach chair.

"D-Do I have t-to go in there?" Sonic asked with a shaky voice. Both Shadow and Silver were swimming in the pool.

"Come on, the water's fine." Silver assured with his hand out for Sonic. The blue blur shook his head.

"I don't care, I'm not going." Then he noticed that Shadow was gone. He then felt two hands picking him up.

"It won't be bad," Shadow said while dragging Sonic to the pool.

"Konton, please help me!" Sonic begged to his dark side. Konton was sitting in a beach chair reading a book called "Hidden talents"

"Very interesting," Konton commented while sipping a cup of tea.

"You're useless." The hero commented. Sonic held on to Shadow's chest as they were in the pool.

"Do you want to hold me?" The agent asked.

"Don't you dare let go of me," Sonic said with his cheeks puffed up of frustration and embarrassment.

"We could teach you how to swim. What if you or someone else is drowning and we're not there." Silver insisted.

"I wouldn't worry about that. I won't let that happen." Sonic said with a wink.

"Anyways, what's the plan to get in the Time council? Cause I don't think we can just slip through." Shadow said to Silver.

"So wait, they can't let us in? Even after we saved the timeline that one time?" The blue hero asked.

"We were the ones who caused the rip in the first place. I still kept my job because we restored it. But since you three don't work for them, they can't let you in." The time traveler.

"So looks like we have to sneak in then," Konton said, joining the conversation.

"That's a good idea. The council is hosting the weekly party. With the workers busy, I'll sneak you three in." Silver planned with a thumbs up.

"It sounds like I have to leave Lucky outside," Shadow said with his arms shaking from holding on to Sonic for a long time.

"Speaking of the pup, where is he?" The blue hero asked.

"He's in the hotel with Nicole."

~At the room~

Both Lynx and dog were watching a movie. But the movie quickly ended and the news came up.

"Breaking news: The criminal, Scourge has escaped Prison island. The criminal is highly dangerous so if you see this hedgehog, run and hide." They showed the picture of the criminal with a cat resting on his shoulder.

"I don't think that'll happen. After all, he's in prison so he can't be here." The sentence that Konton said last night popped up.

~At the pool~

The four hedgehogs were chatting until

"Guys!" They looked to see Lucky running to them with the watch in his mouth. The agent accidentally let his grip go of Sonic and the blue hero sink to the bottom.

"A prisoner named-" Lucky then slipped because of the water and dropped Nicole in the pool. Silver used his powers to lift both Sonic and Nicole out of the water.

"You lied to me," Sonic said to Shadow with his arms crossed. Shadow only shrugged with an awkward smile.

"What were you saying, Nicole?" The silver hedgehog asked the hologram Lynx.

"In the news, a criminal named Scourge escaped from Prison Island." Silver, Shadow, and Konton had shocked faces while Sonic is confused.

"Dammit! Now we'll have to worry about that criminal!" Shadow shouted with his fangs shows.

"Konton, I think it's the best to stay in your real form for now," Sonic said to his dark twin. Konton nodded in understanding.

"I didn't know that you're waterproof, Nicole." Silver commented to his watch as he puts it on his wrist.

"The designers made me waterproof, windproof, and shock proof," Nicole informed.

"Are you like, lava proof?" Sonic asked.

"Hmm, I don't know. But I don't wanna try it." She said with a nervous chuckle.

"But first we need to go to the Time Council. This time and Jikan-tori problem are more important than a criminal." The time traveler said.

"How about we get help from Time Eater? He fixed the timeline before so this won't different." Sonic suggested. Both Silver and Shadow looked at each other with concern.

"Sonic, the Time Eater is...Dead." The black hedgehog said. The blue hedgehog's eyes shrunken.

"W-What?"

"After we told everyone that you were "dead", Time Eater didn't handle it well. Since you were the only one that gave him a second chance, he was angered that you died very quickly. He went on a rage page on the city. The Time Council had to...Kill him to protect the planet. I'm so sorry, Sonic." Silver said with sorrow in his voice.

"W-who else died that you didn't tell me?" Sonic asked with tears forming.

"Sonic..."

"No! Y-You didn't tell me that my parent is dead until I asked! Who else that died you decided to hide until later?!" The blue hero asked with the tears rolling down and hits the pool.

"No one else, we swear! People will die one day, right?" Shadow asked with a calm voice.

"I know but I wasn't there or even grew up with them! All of you guys grew up to have great lives and have a family of your own. But I'm still 16 and everything is going without me!" He quickly got out of the pool (With his now wet shoes and gloves on) and ran out of the hotel.

"Sonic!" Konton and Shadow were about to go after him but Silver stopped them.

"I got it." The silver hedgehog ran to the running blue hero.

"Sonic, wait!" Silver shouted while running.

"Leave me alone!" The running hedgehog shouted. Silver rolled his eyes before using his telekinesis to grab Sonic's foot to stop.

"Ow!" The blue hedgehog shouted after his face hit the ground. Silver caught up to him

"Sonic, we need to talk." The older hedgehog said. Sonic looked away

"Oh ya? About what? That you lied?"

"Look, I know that you're mad about your parents and Time Eater's deaths. But we kept it a secret cause we don't want you to break down." The time traveler explained.

"Have you learned that your love one died a few years ago and it was kept a secret?" Sonic asked with hate.

"My mother and Shadow." The blue hero looked at the older hedgehog.

"I never knew that Shadow was my father and died before I was born. My mother left me at an orphanage to protect me from a demon. I learned she died from that demon about 11 years ago." Silver said with sorrow in his voice. Sonic stayed silent.

"But now I'm a father and Shadow is a grandfather. Not everything in the future isn't just about the death of loved ones. Who knows, when we fix the timeline you'll be a father." The time traveler said with tears forming and smiling. Sonic ears dropped

"What the hell was I doing? I shouldn't act like that..." The blue hero said, apologizing.

"That's what teenagers are like." Silver commented with his arms out, waiting for a hug. Sonic hugged Silver tightly with tears rolling down.

"That's okay, let it out." Silver whispered while rubbing Sonic's back. After a few minutes passed, Sonic wiped the tears

"Let's head back to the others." Silver nodded. Before they got up, the ground shook violently. The ground cracked and separates half of the city. Silver protected both him and Sonic by using his powers to wrap a bubble around them.

"Sonic, Silver!" A distant voice called out. Silver popped the bubble and the two were running to where the voice came from. Everything around them was dust and debris so they can't see.

"Shadow?"

"Stop!" Silver used his telekinesis to stop Sonic from now noticed giant crack that was bigger than a building.

"Thanks, Sil." The blue hedgehog thanked with a wink.

"Guys, are you alright?" They looked to the other side to see Shadow, Lucky, and Konton with worried looks.

"We're fine. How about you guys?" The time traveler shouted to the other side.

"That's good!" Konton shouted with a bark from Lucky.

"It looks like we gotta to get across." Silver said to Sonic.

"But there might be people that are hurt around the city," Sonic noted.

"Oh right. Guys, we're going to look around the city in case people are hurt." Silver shouted to the other side.

"Alright. We'll stay here for the time being." The black agent said back. Both Sonic and Silver gave thumbs up before walking away.

"Well, it looks like it'll take a while." Shadow pulled out a book from his backpack and sat down to read. The German Shepard lay down on is master's lap and relax.

"What are you reading?" Konton asked before sitting with the agent. The title of the book is called "Beast" and it had a red rose on the cover.

"It's about an awful boy that got turned into a beast and has two years for someone to love him. I got this book about 11 years ago and it's really good." Shadow explained. The dark side pulled out the book he read earlier

"Do you want to trade?" Konton asked.

"Ya sure." They trade books then started to read.

"I didn't know that you like to read," Shadow commented.

"Well, I used to watch Sonic reading and I read with him," Konton explained.

"Sonic reads? That shocks me." The old ultimate life form commented.

"What got you into reading?" Konton asked.

"When I was in the Ark, Maria used to read to me every night," Shadow explained, smiling at the memory. The dark hedgehog's ears dropped.

"I'm sorry."

"What? No, it's fine. It's nice to remember the good times of loved ones." The black agent said. The dark side looked down to see Lucky looking at him with his tail wagging.

"So, how did you two met?" Konton asked.

"Oh, G.U.N wants me to train a guard dog. I got to their kennel and I saw him at three months old, wagging his tail. I picked him and we been getting along." Shadow explained, pet on the German Shepard.

"That's cute," Konton commented with a smile. Then Lucky's ears were up and growl ahead of them.

"What's wrong?" They looked to see a pack of Darken wolves with buckhorns, snarling at them.

"Oh, bloody hell. I haven't even started on the book." The dark side said before him, Shadow, and Lucky is ready to fight.

~With Sonic and Silver~

"I spy with my little eye, something destroyed," Sonic said with his arms behind his head. Silver looked around

"Everything?"

"You're right again." The hero said with a smirk.

"Cause we've been playing this game for 15 minutes." The silver hedgehog said.

"And for 15 minutes, we haven't seen anyone." Nicole pointed.

"That's weird. There's always hurt people or dead bodies when a disaster happens." The blue hero commented while looking around.

"You're right. But I noticed before the disaster happened, I didn't see anybody else this morning." Both Silver and Sonic looked at each other with concern.

"Silver, do you think..." The blue hedgehog trailed off.

"Yes, everyone was informed about the disaster last night. And never told us about it. It is a trap for us." Then they turned when they heard cans from an alley fell over. Darken hyenas came out, with low laughing. Emerald eyes saw inside the hyenas' mouths were sparks.

"We gotta go!" Sonic grabbed Silver's wrist and they ran. The hyenas laughed then ran after the hedgehogs.

"Could you go any faster?" The time traveler asked, looking behind him.

"Do you want to rip your arm out?" The blue blur asked as he runs. Silver looks back to see the hyenas chasing them with sparks in their mouths. He had an idea, Silver reached out his arm but hesitates.

"I...I can't use that power. I haven't used it ever since..." Then a memory of a burning house appeared.

"Silver, watch out for the rock!" Silver didn't know what Sonic meant until he tripped on a rock. The time traveler hits his knee on the rock which he hissed in pain.

"Silver!" The hero put Silver's arm over him to help him up. The hyenas jumped towards them with their mouths opened. In slow motion, Silver had a fireball in his hand and threw it to a hyena's mouth. In the regular motion, it caused an explosion that sends both of them away.

"Ow..." Sonic got up to see the hyenas were only ash.

"Sil, how did you do that?" The blue blur asked while helping Silver up.

"Oh, that. I learned that about 10 years ago. Blaze helped me to master it." The time traveler explained but then hissed in pain from his bruised and bleeding knee.

"Let's get back to the others." Silver nodded then both went out.

~With Shadow and Konton~

The three was fighting the pack of Darkens. Shadow had his gun out, shooting the wolves with Lucky beside him. Konton kicked a wolf on its side with a dark orb in his hand. After he sends the orb on the head,

"Why use an orb? Take it slow and make it suffer." The dark side stopped with widened eyes. He felt someone was choking him but he couldn't see anyone. Lucky saw a wolf charging towards the frozen Konton. The dog rushed and tackled the wolf to the ground. The wolf got up and chase the German Shepard. Shadow heard the dog's whine and saw that Lucky was running away from the wolf. The agent rose his gun but the two were going too fast

"Lucky, get out of the way! I don't want to shoot you." Lucky stopped then the wolf was going to chomp on the dog. Shadow fired at the wolf on the head and it turned to ash. Lucky looked at Shadow with his tail wagging.

"Konton." Konton returned to reality

"Huh?"

"Why did you froze up?" The black hedgehog asked.

"I...I don't know." The dark hedgehog murmured. Shadow sees that he looks troubled

"Well, make sure that you won't do that again. We gotta find Sonic and Silver now." The dark side nodded then they went out.

~With Sonic and Silver~

"My, chaos you're heavy!" Sonic complained as he carries Silver.

"Well, sorry for gaining weight throughout the years." Silver said with his eyes half-closed.

"Anyways, how long will we find them?" Sonic asked as he runs with the silver hedgehog.

"They can't be far." The time traveler guessed. Emerald eyes looked down at Silver's knee

"Didn't Shadow had an injured knee before?" Sonic thought as the memory of him and Shadow after Silver "died".

"It felt like it was yesterday," Sonic remembered when Silver was a coward. He chuckled

"What are you laughing about?" The silver hedgehog asked with a smile.

"I just remembered that you were a coward back then," Sonic explained with a chuckle.

"Oh, ya. Man, time flies." Silver commented with a chuckle.

"Remember when Shadow hate my guts? He keeps cursing me out." The hero commented.

"I guess the Time Eater mission changed all of us." The silver hedgehog commented.

"You two changed. Not me." Sonic said.

"What do you mean?" Silver asked.

"I was only a victim in that mission. Losing my memories and stuff. I'm still the same old me."

"That's not true. You're more emotional now, you even cried a few times." The silver hedgehog explained. Sonic thought about it

"I guess you're right. Thanks." Sonic said with a smirk.

"And the Time Eater changed because of you. Shadow and I would have killed him but you gave him a chance." The time traveler said.

"But he went on a rage page because of me." The hero said with a frown.

"He did that because he didn't want to believe you were dead. You were the only one that gave him a chance. I would have done that if that person that chanced me died." Silver explained.

"When the Time Eater he'll restore the timeline but no one won't remember. What if we didn't remember those events. Would we be the same? You still being a coward and Shadow still hating me."

"You're right, I never thought about that." Silver said.

"But I'm very glad that we did remember. If we didn't, then what was the point of the story?" Sonic asked with a smirk and a wink ahead.

"What are you winking at?" The silver hedgehog asked while looking ahead.

"It's nothing. Let's hurry up and meet up with the others." The hero said. They heard barking from the distance. They reached to see Shadow, Konton, and Lucky.

"Guys!" Sonic shouted with a grin.

"Are you two okay?" Konton asked them.

"Ya, just a bruised knee that's all." Silver said while rubbing the back of the head.

"It'll heal in a few days." Nicole informed them.

"That's good. I could carry him, if you want." Shadow offered.

"Yes cause he's heavy." Sonic said while handing Silver to the black hedgehog. When the blue hedgehog went to talk to his dark side

"I used fire." Silver murmured with his ears down.

"You haven't used that power for a long time." His father commented as he sees Sonic and Konton talking with Lucky with them.

"Should I tell him now?" The time traveler asked.

"Not now. I know we shouldn't lie to him anymore. But when the time comes." The agent explained his son. All of them saw snowflakes falling

"We need to hurry to the Conceil." Silver said to everyone. Everyone nodded then set off.
