CHAPTER FIFTHTEEN

BETWEEN THE TRAIN SCENE

Silver and Blaze were running toward the city, while they were running they saw a familiar hedgehog.

Mephiles is standing in the middle of the sidewalk, just staring at the sidewalk.

Silver and Blaze looked at each and went up to Mephiles.

"Mephiles..."

Mephiles didn't move.

Silver looked at Blaze and walked to meet Mephiles face. "Tell me... Who is the Iblis Trigger? Why does he want to destroy the world?

"Why does it matter, to you?" Mephiles growled. "Unless you complete your task, you future will remain the same... Forever." Mephiles pointed at Silver and turned his head to look at him serious. "He's currently at the terminal station. It's now or never if you want this." At that Mephiles leaves.

Blaze walked where Mephiles disappeared, and turned around looking Silver. Silver was standing there, thinking of what he really wants. Silver and Blaze ran to the train station, and they slowed down seeing a familiar hedgehog. Sonic is laying on his side, trying to stand up. They both hid where they can see what's going on.

They saw Sonic looking at where the train is about to go in a tunnel, and saw someone there looking at Sonic. "Sonic!" they heard then the train went through the tunnel. They looked back at where Sonic was laying down and now was standing up, and running into the tunnel.

Silver and Blaze waited for a while and saw Sonic and the Princess coming out of the tunnel.

Silver turned to Blaze and she nodded her head telling him to go. Silver jumped off the hill, onto his feet and was looking at Sonic, the Iblis Trigger. He saw them talking, and he knew it was time. He threw one of his power balls.

Sonic is carrying Elise in his arms while running, Elise looked at Sonic, she was really happy that Sonic and his friends found a way to get back here. That made Elise smile, "I knew it... I knew you'd return! You had to!" at that Sonic looked up at Elise, while still running, he finally knew what the spark in his heart meant now, he was in love with Elise. When Sonic looked to the other side, he saw a bright green silver power ball coming up to them, he jumped high.

He was back on his feet, with Elise in his arms still, and looked back at her and lowered his arms, so she can get out of his hold. Then looked back, where the power ball came from. "You again..." he saw Silver, just standing there ready to fight him again.

"This time there will be no more interruptions! The Iblis Trigger... must die!" Elise looked down at Sonic worried. Sonic opened his arms out so he wouldn't hurt Elise, he heard a faint whisper. "Sonic..." Elise sounding scared.

A force field came out of Silver's power to throw him off. He hit the ground with a thud, and looked back at Silver. He ran so he can hit him again, then he was trapped in Silver's power. Sonic tried moving but it was impossible.

Elise saw everything, she wanted to run up to Sonic and make the other hedgehog stop fighting, but then she heard a machine flying behind her. "So how was your little walk, Princess?" Elise looked up where Eggman's, mechanical hands on his ship, started going down to grab Elise. "Ahh..." Elise screamed.

Sonic looked up where he heard Elise screaming, saw Eggman taking her away. "Elise!"

He tried running, but another force made him stop. "It's time to end this!" Silver is about to throw another one of his force fields, but two black hedgehogs stopped him, making him miss

"What?! Mephiles, why are you getting in my way?!"

"I'm Shadow. Shadow The Hedgehog." Shadow crossed his arms and is looking at Silver with his serious face.

Sonic fell on the ground with a hard thud, and looked up and saw red and black shoes, with rings around the ankles and a hand sticking out to help him up. "Thanks Shadow..."

And with a high pitch voice, he stopped where he was. "Guess again..."

Sonic looked up and saw Jasmine's face smiling at him. "It's been awhile, Sonic." Sonic is so confused now, how did Jasmine get out of Eggman's base, all these years now. "How?... What?..." Jasmine looked at him, shaking her head, rolled her eyes and smiled at him. "Less talking, more saving. Now go save Elise. I think you two, have to talk about something important and do something else important." Jasmine gave Sonic a wink and left to Shadow's side.

Sonic couldn't still believe it, Jasmine knew that he loved Elise. Sonic shakes his head. And started running towards Elise. To save her from Eggman again.

"Wow, that never gets old..." Jasmine said, watching Sonic leave in sonic speed.

Jasmine looked back at the hedgehog, that called Shadow, Mephiles, just how much did she miss?

"Who are you? How are there two? And why do you look like Mephiles?" Silver asked the hedgehog, that was in a black and red dress with same color shoes and rings around her wrist and ankles.

"I'm Jasmine. Jasmine The Hedgehog."

Shadow shakes his head. "Wow, that never gets old..." mocked Shadow. Jasmine gave him the serious eyes and looked back at Silver. "So what's your name? And why did you think Shadow was Mephiles?"

"I'm Silver... And why I called him Mephiles, because they look exactly alike, and you of course." Silver explained.

Jasmine looks back at Shadow, "Is there anything I should know about?" Jasmine always knew Shadow kept secrets well hidden.

Shadow walked up to Silver, ignoring the question and stopped half way. "Mephiles isn't trying to help you create a better future... He's trying to eliminate the past." Shadow explained to Silver. "What? What are you talking about?"

"Mephiles is just using you to eliminate the past, so he can control the future." Shadow said serious.

"That's not possible!" Silver protested.

"We can show you proof. If we go back in time." Shadow growled.

Jasmine on the other hand was confused, but then something clicked into her head.

"So what you're saying is we have to go back in time, to see what really happened? That would be what? Ten years ago, right?"

Shadow and Silver turned their heads to meet her.

"If we do that, then it has to be you and Silver's job to use Chaos Control." Jasmine stopped talking and looked at Shadow.

"Apparently Eggman took to much of my powers..." She trails off.

Shadow looked worried at her but turned back to Silver, he took out his emerald green Chaos Emerald and waiting for Silver to take out his. He knew he had one because he knew where every Chaos Emerald is.

Silver fiddled with his hands then looked back at Shadow seeing a Chaos Emerald in his head, he looked back up at Shadow meeting his 'hurry-up-we're-losing-time' face, and took out his sapphire Chaos Emerald out and showed it to Shadow.

They both walked up to each other and stopped half way. They put their Chaos Emeralds up, "Chaos Control!" at the same time, a spark flew out of the gems and came out a portal to the past.

Shadow, Silver and Jasmine all looked at each other. "Follow me, if you want the truth." Shadow said to Silver.

Shadow moved in first, then Jasmine, Silver was hesitant but saw Blaze behind the trees, she nodded at him to go and he went in.

They three went back ten years into the past but will they like what happened, or make it happen?
