Whoop! I made it! I gotta say, I can't fully express my gratitude to everyone that has read and liked what I write. Thank you all so much!

ShadsyStarsWish: Thank you for your kind review! I'm happy to hear that you've been liking the story so far, it's a bit slow at the start but it won't be long before we get into the story line!

bajy: Heck yeah it's his first battle out of many! As for the appearance of Cream and Cheese you'll have to find out. Muahaha! (Jkjk) Funny you mention them because they will appear in the future, and let me tell you, they are very fun to right and are important to the story line.

Tolkam: Turn up the PMD music, because it's going to get wild in the future ;P. Honestly, one of my favorite PMD music is from the first game of red/blue rescue team and it is played in darkness ridge. I just love some of the music tracks.

As always I hope you enjoy and don't be afraid to ask questions or leave comments!


Silver nibbled at his lower lips as the ground continued to shake from the tremors the blasts were making. Grey, ashy smoke was starting to accumulated above the city, as more buildings continued to be destroyed; all the while people were panicking.

"Who is that man?" Silver asked, as he saw Sonic and the now named red echidna, Knuckles, fighting with the man in the hovercraft.

Amy growled beside him, her green eyes flashing in anger, "A nasty old man with too much time on his hands. Eggman."

A destructive explosion went off, causing multiple cars to go flying from the volatile aftershock. Without thinking, Silver caught most of the cars from crashing into bystanders, a cyan aura coating his hands and the automobiles. Heart thundering, he set the cars down as more people started to evacuate the scene.

"Nice catch Silver!" Sonic yelled, dodging more missiles for Eggman. "Get the people to safety. I'll deal with Eggman."

"Don't get ahead of yourself, Sonic. Eggman has one of the Chaos Emeralds." Knuckles growled, "I'm not letting him keep it."

A vicious but playful grin grew on Sonic's muzzle. "Aw, you know me Knuckles, always ready to kickbutt."

The two heroes in synchronicity began to attack the doctor, while being mindful to keep the fighting as far away as possible from bystanders. The man in the hovercraft could do little to stop the thrashing. It wasn't until one of Knuckles powerful strikes that hit the mechanical claw, that made everything worse. The claw beneath the hovercraft cracks open, letting the dented robot fall to the ground with a deafening crash. The bulky square robot pushed itself onto its feet, and that's when Sonic and Knuckles saw some of the wires hanging out of it's head, that they felt dread at the sight of the flying sparks.

"Oh-no." Both hero's heard the doctor mutter, as the robot started to destroy everything within its reach, its red eyes flashing menacingly.

Not far away from the fight, Tails and Silver were working to get the injured people away from the rampage. One of the doctors missiles had managed to cause a fire within one of the stores, elevating panic within the population of the city. Both mobians and humans started to scream in terror at the fire, fleeing far away from the hungry flames that were growing by the second.

Silver coughed as he levitated people from the burning building; the scorching inferno was making it hard to concentrate and breath, but Silver pushed on to get everyone out, despite the slight panic he was feeling on the inside. Dropping a handful of people outside the store, the ashened hedgehog went inside once again. Wincing at the blistering fire, Silver took notice at how uncomfortable he felt near the inferno, something akin to acidic anger bubbled in his stomach, which contradicted the fear he was feeling. Quickly, Silver pushed his thought to the side by looking away from the flames, and instead focused once again on the people that needed his help.

Outside, young and old, scrambled away from the flames, as the hungry fire started to eat away at other nearby buildings. On the other side of building, Tails was making sure to direct people as far away as possible. It's not until they started to scream, that Tails attention diverged to a burning vehicle hurtling in the air in their direction that causes his heart to plummet.

Within a flash, a large hammer slams into the vehicle, hurtling it to another direction. A grateful smile worms its way onto Tails lips as he gazes at his friend, "That was a close one."

Amy winked as she set her hammer on her shoulder, her red dress full of soot and ash, "You need to pay attention Tails-" Amy came to a stop, as she watched her friends smile form into one of horror. She twisted her head to see the bulky robot heading her way at lightning speed.

Amy barely managed to put her hammer up in defense, when the robot became engulfed in a cyan aura. With a flick of the wrist, Silver sent the robot flying, away from his friends and innocent bystanders. "You guys okay?" Silver asked in concern, his once silver-white fur now had turned to a dirty dark color from all the ash and soot. Amy's coat was in a similar state much to his displeasure.

A small ache was starting to form at the base of his skull, but Silver ignored it.

On the other side of the street, Sonic groaned as he came out of the crater shaped wall the robot had thrown him into. "Any bright ideas?" He said to Knuckles, who was coming out of a broken window.

"Ugh. It's been a long time since one of Eggman's robots actually hit hard," The red echidna grunted, before shaking off his injuries. He bared his teeth as the robot got back on his feet from where Silver had thrown him.

The malfunctioning robot sent another pair of missiles at the hero's, who dodged them with expertise. Sonic spin dashed against the robot, hitting it hard enough to send it flying. The red echidna then took it a step further and plummeted his spiked fists, against the weakened machinery. Unprepared for the robots retaliation, Knuckles was sent flying into another store, crashing through the wall. The robot then swung a bulky arm against a red hydrant, causing water to spurt from the large crack.

The action caught Sonic off guard as the full force of the water slammed into his body. "No! Not water," He wailed as he scrambled away, with wet fur.

The robot turned to shoot off another round of missiles when a large truck rammed into it, causing a huge explosion to go off. Silver panted with fatigue, shutting his eyes momentarily from the aftershock.

"Nice," Sonic commented across the street. They really needed to get rid of the robot.

Glowing from his psychic abilities, Silver lifted a medium size cart with an umbrella attached to it and rammed it against the fallen robot. His furred ears jerked back as he heard Sonic howl, "No! Not the chili dog cart. I was protecting that! Silver!"

Silver was so distracted by Sonic's outburst that he had no time to defend himself from one of the robots missiles. The blast threw him across the street, and into a window. Silver groaned at the impact and sagged onto the ground. He took a deep breath in pain and cracked his eyes open. His body felt worse than the day Sonic and Tails found him on the beach, it rembled from exertion and pain from the cuts he had received. Tightening his resolve, he got his battered body to move to the window he came from and watched from his place as Sonic and Knuckles delivered the final blow to the robots head. The rest of the body of the robot slacked and crumpled into the street. Silver let out a small gasp as the destructive robot became no more, but then watched in concern as the red echidna seethed, his furred ears barley catching what Knuckles was saying, "Eggman got away. That blundering buffoon!"

Tails made his way towards his best friend, "Where did Eggman get one? The Chaos Emeralds are suppose to be scattered from the last time-"

"I had one," The furious echidna crossed his arms over his chest, "I was on Angel Island when he attempted to steal the Master Emerald. As soon as he saw I had on of the Chaos Emeralds, he opted to steal that instead. I couldn't let him get away with it, but now... he left when we were all too busy with his stupid robot."

"He'll pop up again. He always does," Sonic vocalized, noticing Amy and Silver making their way over towards them.

Knuckles grumbled, "Yeah, but who knows what weapons he'll unleash next."

Sonic and Tails made eye contact. They could only hope Eggman didn't go overboard, the evil mastermind had a tendency to come out with newer modifications that made beating his robots hard. So far they have rose to the challenge, but they didn't want to push their luck too far. After all the destruction they have been through...

"Don't worry to much Knuckles. We'll beat Eggman once again. Maybe even have GUN lock him up for good," Sonic offered with a bit reflection.

Knuckles scoffed at the mention of the agency. Thinking about them made him think about her. The nasty little filterous thief...

Silver smiled in relief that all of his friends were still in one piece, although there was a few minor injuries -he lets out a squeak- as he feels himself fumble over. He was expecting to land on his face, when a strong pair of hands held him up right. Embarrassment flushes through him as he hears Knuckles say, "Whoa, you okay there?"

Silver straightens up immediately and stumbles over his words, "Y-yeah. Sorry." He was making a fool out of himself-

A familiar dizziness washed over him again, making it hard to concentrate as Sonic started to formally introduce him to Knuckles. He watched Sonic's lips in slow motion before he slowly descended into complete darkness, then a blinding light illuminated everything.

Knuckles was standing before a large building that read, 'Bloom Tower', in the middle of the night. With stealth, the red echidna went inside the tower, bypassing multiple rooms before going down a set of stairs, all the way to the basement. He continued to run through the hallways before stopping in a room that said, "Stage B."

Knuckles opened the door and within it held doctor Eggman.

"Silver? Silver? You okay buddy?"

Silver blinked a couple of times before focusing on Sonic's worried face. His mouth moved before he could comprehend what he was saying, "I think I just saw Eggman." He said a bit confused, not seeing the worried expression Tails and Amy wore.

"Really? Where?" Sonic asked as he spun around looking for the doctor.

"In a room at a place called, Bloom Tower. In the basement -Stage B- I believe."

Amy looked at the pale hedgehog quizenling, "Silver that tower is on the other side of the city. Nowhere near here."

"What?"

"Maybe you hit your head too hard. I saw how the robot threw you across the street," Tails said with a troubled look, his yellow furred ears drooping slightly. Sonic at his side nodded in agreement. He'd had cases were he'd been hit so hard he saw things he thought he would never see, Silver could be experiencing the same thing. "Wouldn't surprise me if you thought you saw something." Tails concluded, seeing the worry etched into Silver's face.

Was it true? Maybe he hit his head when the robot through him through the window. But... it seemed so real. The basement... the room... the tower. Had it really all been in his head? Part of his imagination? That didn't feel right.

"You should probably check on him Tail, send him to the hospital if it gets worse," Knuckles said, before sighing as he watched the familiar flash of red and blue. "Just great."

"How about you take him home Tails? I'll deal with the rest of the things here," Sonic said as he watched more vehicles make their way towards them.

"Yeah, I'll stay here to help too," Amy said, before gently pushing Tails and Silver in the direction of the Tornado.

"Sure thing," Tails as he tenderly lead a confused Silver towards his plane.


Everything was dull and grey. Cold and dry. Yet despite the lack of color, a flame raged on. Coloring the sky in a deep seeded red with hints of dark grey. Destroying everything in its path. Agony and despair were a constant pair as cities were consumed in an inferno. Everything was consumed… burning… laid to ash….

Silver opened his mouth in a silent scream as he sat up in fright, thinking he had been set on fire. He breathed in short pants as his mind retreated from his nightmare. There was no stench of flesh burning. No heat from the fire. He shivered as he got his heart under control by mumbling that it was only a dream. Cold... he felt so cold despite... the fire. He rubbed his arms as he glanced at the clock that read 8:42 in the morning.

He sighed as his mind drifted away from his nightmare. Everything had felt so real... like... what he saw the previous day. Whatever that was. Tails had done a regular check up and had found nothing wrong with him, just a bit dehydrated and with a small headache due to over using his powers from yesterday's event. Tails had patches up the few scratches he had attain during the fight and he had taken a quick shower to get rid of the dirt. He had only taken a bit of medication to combat the headache and had instantly fallen asleep.

He looked around his new surroundings. Familiarizing where the closet was, the small television, and of course the bed. The room was spacious enough to feel comfortable, but small enough to not seem too luxurious. He really appreciates what Tails and Sonic have done for him, it warmed his heart to know that there was still good people around to help someone without memories. He just hopes he doesn't become a burden.

Shaking his head from his thoughts, he cleaned his bed and put on Amy's dirty jacket on before going downstairs into the kitchen. He had missed dinner last night due to him passing out and felt ravenous. He hoped that Tails and Sonic don't mind him using their kitchen. Lucky to his surprise Tails was already downstairs along with a sleepy Sonic.

"Hey Silver, how you feeling?" Tails said as he set a warm cup of coffee on the table. Then indicated to the stove, "I've made breakfast. Serve yourself as much as you like."

"I feel much better. Thank you Tails," Silver said as he got a plate, he bit his lip in thought before voicing out his concern. "About yesterday, how's everyone? The people there, how bad was it?"

"There were a few wounded, mostly burns and cuts," Tails looked at his cup of coffee, "The city will be rebuilt, like always. Luckily, we were there to stop the robot, it could have been worse."

Silver only managed to nod before seating himself across from Sonic who has his face smashed into the surface of the table.

Tails must have seen his concerned look because he chuckled, "He's fine. Sonic isn't a morning person."

"Why isn't he in bed then?" Silver asked, popping a forkful of scrambled eggs into his mouth. He smiled, savoring the rush a flavor in his mouth.

"I must have done something right with the eggs by your expression," Tails commented, taking a sip from his coffee, "Knuckles called earlier. Said he'd be here soon to tell us something. Maybe he found where Eggman went."

Silver hummed in thought, only to be interrupted by Tails question. "Have you had any luck remembering anything?"

His nightmare flashed before his eyes. "No. Not really. I was hoping to have some thought to who I use to be."

"Don't stress too much. I've heard that some memories can return-" A knock interrupted Tails sentence. For a short moment everyone froze.

Sonic was the one who shattered the silence, by dashing to the door and opening it. "This better be good if you don't want me spin dashing you across Mobius." Sonic said after a yawn, his grumpiness showing through.

Knuckles ignored the sleepy stare and instead stocked his way over to the kitchen table. Silver grew nervous when Knuckles eyes landed on him. Silver lost all flavor from the eggs he was eating. He felt like he wanted to become a pile of mush by the way Knuckles was intensely staring at him. A sinking feeling went straight to his gut, where it was being tied to a knot. Furred ears, slanted down a bit as Knuckles stood in front of him, red arms crossed over a muscled chest.

Heart thumping loudly in his ear, Silver gulped as Knuckles extend a huge fist, clutching a yellow diamond. The emerald shined brightly and Silver couldn't help but gasp at the low pulse he felt from the diamond. Oblivious to the stares from his companions, Silver felt his mind zone in on the diamond. His heart fluttered the longer he looked at it... the energy he felt from...

"Do you know what this is?" Knuckles voice rumbled through his chest.

Was this a trick question? "The Emerald you were... looking for?" Silver winced at the timid tone of his voice.

"Yes. It's the Chaos Emerald, the one Eggman stole from me."

This brought Silver out of his timid mind, "You found him?"

An awkward silence enveloped everyone in the kitchen. Silver watched as Sonic made his way across from Knuckles, slightly putting his presence between the red echidna and pale hedgehog. He knew the temper Knuckles carried... and Sonic was all for avoiding a fight this early in the morning.

Knuckles clutched the Emerald tight in his hands. "Yes. I actually got interested in what Sonic said about you last night. Although I've never heard of a human turning into a hedgehog; having no memories and mentioning a tower on the other side of the city got me curious. I even went as far as asking Sonic if you've ever seen the building and he said no."

"I actually said, 'I don't think so'." The blue hedgehog replayed as he started at the yellow Emerald.

Knuckles gave him a glare before continuing, "Imagine my surprise went I went down to the basement and in room, Stage B. I found the egghead himself. Unfortunately he got away from me but... I managed to snag the Emerald back."

Silver's heart was at full throttle. He tried to swallow but all he could feel was the cotton sensation at the back of his throat, so he instead sucked in a shaky breath. Underneath his gloves, his hands were sweating and his mind was willing at the implication. What was he supposed to say?

"What I want to know is how you knew that Eggman was in that specific tower, in that specific room." Knuckles commanded, his brows furling together in a frown.


Sneak Peak of Next Chapter

"What are you two hiding?"

Silver jerked at the softness of Amy's voice. Confused by the statement, Silver goes to open his mouth-

"Sonic has been bringing you all this crazy stuff for you to touch... and I don't get it. What are you two not telling me," Bright, green eyes stared into golden ones.

Silver hunched a bit into Amy's jacket. He felt incredibly guilty he hadn't told Amy what they have been doing. After all, she's been very kind and a real true friend.
