Epilouge:

Light. Like a gentle stream it slowly pooled through his closed eyelids and into his head, his mind. It made its way through his conscious, slowly bringing him back, and feeling flowing back into his body reluctantly. 'Where am I?' his mind raced for answers, searching fro something it could never find. 'Who am I?' An eternity of searching was playing itself out in his mind in mere seconds. 'Life is connected, Karma' He remembered it; he could so clearly remember those words, those concepts…but where?

'Here and now…I am alive' Realities collapsed and choice merged and synthesized, thoughts and memories vanished and were created. Rebirth and renewal in a single second. Endless years played themselves out in this tiniest of moments. Silver's mind slowly uncoiled, unconsciousness giving way to conscious.

'I am ready to be…to be…to be'

Silver's eye's shot open like a shot from a gun, large golden eye's glowing as he stared around his surroundings in confusion. 'This is different…then before' the thought half-formed somewhere deep in his mind. He was back on the plains… No he was still on the plains, he'd never left them…. Or had he only now reached the plains… Or perhaps there were no plains and he was just… Silver shook his head furiously, hoping to clear all of the grogginess from his mind and succeeding.

'What a dream, I must have dozed off a bit there' he mused to himself in silence, his lips curling into a faint smile despite his best efforts to stop himself. And then…for no apparent reason, he laughed. And laughed and laughed. He laughed as if his very life depended on it, all kinds of laughs from small giggles to loud chortles, he just laughed and laughed. He didn't know exactly why he was laughing and knew it was a bit silly to just laugh for random. But do you know what the best part was, he just didn't care, he just wanted to laugh. So, laughing as he was, and with nightfall fast approaching, he made his way to the nearest settlement and to wherever the road may take him.

Far off, on the crest of a lonely hill, stood three very familiar silhouettes. Blaze stood, erect as always, with light glimmering off her fiery from. Flanking her on either side were the grayish blobs, their piercing crimson eye's fixated on the rapidly dwindling form of the Silver Hedgehog.

Blaze couldn't, and didn't bother to, suppress her smile as she watched her friend burst into gales of laughter. The Judicators beside her waited for the hedgehog to vanish completely from sight before they turned to Blaze.

'We hope this will be the last time you abuse your power's' The Judicator's thought to her empirically. Blaze nodded in recognition.

'You know he will remember none of it, don't you?' They thought again after a momentary pause. Blaze turned to her custodians with a bright smile and shrugged. 'Maybe' she thought.

There was a wink and a flash, and then the lonely little hill was left, knowing that it would never be lonely, because every thing is connected.

6 years later

A roaring detonation of incandescent teal energy announced the demise of Eggman Nega's final defense. With no traps or bot's left to turn to, the maniacal genius turned tail and ran.

All around the dark factory floor was littered and strewn with the remains of countless assault robots designed to kill Silver. The Doctor couldn't understand how he had failed; it had all been so perfect. The perfect trap! And yet the Hedgehog had fought like a demon, ripping through his foes like they were tissue paper, his telekinetic powers reducing the army to shreds.

A piece of debris smashed into the doctors head, leveling him to the floor, with a sense of emergency born from running for his life the doctor quickly raised himself to his knees-

But he got no further. Standing before him, warped in a menacing nimbus of teal energy Silver stood. Cold and ruthless his eyes were two frozen pits from whence no mercy came. Looking into the eyes of his lifelong and mortal foe the Doctor knew his fate was already decided.

"So, finally learned the only way to stop me is to kill me, ehhh? Well I'm glad I've at least toughened you up boy, so go on make your decision. Are you a murderer or a hero?"

"For you their can be no forgiveness, and for me their can be no escape" Silver answered, his voice devoid of any from of inflection or emotion. Calmly he placed his palm to Nega's forehead, closing his eyes as he channeled power into his hand.

"Que Sera Sera, What Will Happen Will Happen" Nega said calmly, relishing in the irony of life even at deaths door.

Then his eye's softened and Silver was all of a sudden not quite as menacing as he had been, and in the Good Doctor's chest a bit of hope fluttered once more. Silver lowered his hand, smiling as he slowly shook his head from side to side. Eggman furrowed his brow in confusion. 'Now what'

Silver raised his eyes and stared Eggman right in the face with a small smile.

"It's my choice" Silver said softly and then raised his arm…

Mephiles: So what was his choice? I don't know which is why I didn't write it, it's a cliffhanger ending to the story. Thanks for everything guys. I hope you liked it.
