Argentum's Grandfather, Silver the Hedgehog, told me to meet him after the interrogation. Sonic and Argentum himself had to escort Neoshadow back to his cell. Silver showed me something I should've noticed the day he came back a few months earlier. In his room there were two bundles of cloth. Swaddled in the cloths, with a beige color were two echidnas, one male, and one female. They were just around one year old.
"Shadow," Silver said. "These two are the children of Shade the Echidna, of the Nocturnus clan. The girl is Iridus and the boy is Titan."
"There are other Echidnas!?" I quietly shouted. "I thought Kid and Knox were the only ones left!"
"I thought so too, until Shade saved us from the Ifrit, a force of never-ending Evil. Blaze and I were the ones she wanted to get out of the Nega Dimension. Before we left, she gave me Titan and Iridus; just to make sure they get a better future than the only one available in that dimension."
"What will happen if Shade falls to this beast?" I asked.
"If Shade dies in that fight, then this dimension will fall into the hands of Chaos."
"Is there a chance that she could win?"
"Not on her own."
"So she wanted you to raise her kids without any chance of meeting their mother!?"
"I thought it was just as cruel."
"Then we have to help her!"
