CHAPTER ONE
200 YEARS LATER
In the world we see right in front of our eyes are buildings crumbling, falling apart, sinking in the ground. The dark sky with no light and no stars showing their brightness. No life around with animals running around, no green grass, all trees dead with no leaves, and all cement sidewalks and roads, all filled with hot fire, no where to walk on ground, only walk on high lands or broken buildings.
Silver the Hedgehog was using his telekinesis to fly around the buildings. Silver looked around the world he was living in for many years. He wished others like him or if a human, if there were any, would tell him what happen to the world before he was born.
He was lost in thought before something stopped him.
A flame from the ground stopped him, also touching him, but Silver moved fast enough to miss it. The flame swirled around in the same place. Silver used his power to destroy the flame. The flame that was once there explode in tiny pieces.
Once Silver destroyed it, he knew more will just rise. He knew it came from an eternal life from that he and not even his friend Blaze, can truly defeat.
Known as The Flames of Disaster, aka Iblis.
He went back to what he was doing, until he heard a familiar voice.
"Silver!" Blaze yelled to him.
"Blaze! What's wrong?" He questioned and slightly worried.
"He's appeared again." Blaze explain.
Silver looked in the direction, where Blaze was pointing were Iblis is once again rising and went super speed, with Blaze following him.
When Silver and Blaze found Iblis.
Silver yelled, "Come on, you monster!"
Iblis's big mouth filled with fire inside him from head to toe, part of Iblis's legs were buried in the fire, his mouth screaming with roars of power, taking apart the building right in front of him, throwing pieces of the building once it spotted Silver and Blaze.
Silver used his telekinesis to stop some of the pieces of the building from hitting him and his friend.
Once he caught it, he threw them back at Iblis. Iblis roared when it hit him. Iblis started throwing more and more pieces at them, but each one of them were caught in Silver's telekinesis, and thrown back at him in the head or the chest of Iblis's body.
Iblis was mad as each piece were caught from the stupid hedgehog. So Iblis gave up and went back into the deaths of the flames, but Silver and Blaze knew he would just rise again.
"Looks like we stopped it for now" Blaze called out to Silver.
"But it'll just rise up from its ashes again. What's the point of all this? It'll never end," complained Silver, hitting the broken building piece.
"Calm down, Silver." Blaze said.
"Then tell me what we should do. How can we completely destroy Iblis?" Silver questioned Blaze, Blaze turned around and looked the other direction with the same question going on her head. Silver knew she didn't know everything to his problems, but he loved his friend and if she got hurt, he would never forgive himself.
"...By knowing the truth, of course." said a unknown voice.
"Just as a flower comes from a seed, or a chicken comes from an egg, everything has an origin. You need to find the being originally responsible for this catastrophe." Spoken from a hedgehog, with the color black, gray stripes on the back of his hair, four rings on both legs and arms, with shoes that are white on top and black on the bottom and white gloves, and has green snake eyes.
"Is that the real answer to our problem? Tell me, do you know who it is?" Silver pointed to the unknown hedgehog. Silver would do anything to get the future he wanted, but does it have to come for a price?
The unknown hedgehog turned his head and looked at him like he can see our souls. "Come with me, if you want to know."
He left in speed.
Silver and Blaze looked at each other to see if they can trust who ever he is. Nodding at one at another they left in speed to catch up with him.
Until they caught up with him, they stopped at a unknown place they haven't seen before. They looked around the place, mostly destroy like all buildings but with shattered glass around the inside and outside of the building.
They spotted the black hedgehog inside the building.
The unknown black hedgehog moved his head to the side.
As they walk into the hallway of the building Silver didn't want to keep calling this hedgehog Black or unknown, so he hesitated and asked.
"What's your name, if you don't mind me asking?"
"...Mephiles."
He didn't turn and kept walking until they turn to the right into a small lab, inside was a big computer and machinery that looked old and broken, with chairs thrown across from the desks, and scattered paper everywhere.
They went inside Mephiles started talking.
"... To fix this present timeline, you need to change the past."
"But that's impossible." protested Silver.
"... With my help you can, because I have the power to travel through time!"
"No, way!"
"... In order to change the past, you must eliminate the individual who was awakened Iblis. The Iblis Trigger."
"If I eliminate that guy, will our world be saved?" Silver questioned.
As Mephiles nodded, he turned around to the old machinery, "The Day of Disaster... Here are my records of this event." Mephiles giving the records to Silver and Blaze.
"This was when Iblis was freed and his flames were released into your world."
Mephiles turned on the computer. It showed old news articles, pictures, and the dates of when it happened. Silver and Blaze turned back to Mephiles as he brought up an purple gem.
"And you have this person to blame." As Mephiles handed Silver the gem.
Silver looked at the gem with confusion, until an image came up in his head. Flames everywhere except if didn't burn the blue person, who was an hedgehog. The blue hedgehog raised his head up, with the color of his emerald green eyes, with red and white shoes and white gloves turned around and looked to the side of Silver, and showed his anger.
"I see it! So, that blue hedgehog's the Iblis Trigger?" questioned Silver.
"Blue hedgehog..." muttered Blaze.
Silver handed back the Chaos Emerald to Mephiles.
"I'll send us back in time to the point when the Iblis Trigger was alive." Mephiles told Silver and Blaze without answering Silver's question. Out came a purple ball with black lines from his hands, he turns around and the ball gets bigger and it brings Silver, Blaze, and Mephiles in.
They disappear without a trace and they are off to save the future into the past, to destroy The Iblis Trigger. But are they ready for what's in the past?
