It been a year since Team Sonic split up and Sonic had been having trouble lately.

She had seen a doctor and found out that after all the times of being Super Sonic her Chaos was just about done.

She hadn't told anyone about this because she didn't want to worry them.

Eggman had retired and that had helped her a little but she knew there would always be danger and hoped she wouldn't have a Super Sonic any time soon.

She was running right now but stopped panting and felt her Chaos going off.

Two people were watching her and were wondering what was wrong.

"Oh man, I don't think I'm gonna be here much longer." she muttered and started to feel dizzy.

She shut her eyes and took a deep breath to try and get it to stop.

Then she opened her eyes and was still dizzy.

She knelt down and shut her eyes again then passed out.

The two people watching her ran over to her and went to check on her.

It was Team Dark.

Rouge and Shadow bent down and Shadow felt for a pulse.

"Well?" Rouge said.

"She has a pulse." Shadow said. "I just don't know what caused this." he said shaking his head.

"Let's get her home and see what we can do." she said and he nodded.

Then he picked her up and they headed to Sonic's house.

"I'll call the others while you put her down." Rouge said and Shadow nodded and went to put Sonic down.

She FaceTimed Tails, Knuckles and Amy together to make it easier and quicker telling them what happened and they all panicked and said they'd be there soon.

She knew Tails and Knuckles were the most worried after working as a team for years.

A few hours later Shadow and Rouge were in her living room watching her when they heard her groan and looked at her.

"Where the hell am I?" she said and looked around to see she was in her living room. "How did I get here?"

"Us." Shadow said and she looked at them.

"Shadow? Rouge?"

"Hey Blue." Rouge said.

"What happened?"

Sonic didn't say anything when suddenly her door slammed open and she, Shadow and Rouge looked to see Tails, Knuckles and Amy there.

Sonic looked at them in shock then Shadow and Rouge.

"You called them?" she said.

"We had to. They're your friends and needed to know something was wrong." Rouge said.

"Sonic!" Tails said and flew over to her while Knuckles ran.

"You OK?" Knuckles asked.

"What happened?" Amy asked.

Sonic lay there quietly and they looked at each other then back at Sonic.

"Sonic," Knuckles said. "What are you hiding from us?"

After all the years of knowing her he and Tails know when something is wrong or she's hiding something.

"We've known you long enough to know something is wrong." Tails said and she looked at them.

"I, I," she said and took a deep breath. "While you were gone Eggman retired and I found out that after all my years of being Super Sonic my Chaos is just about done." she said and they all sat or stood there in shock.

"WHAT?!" they all yelled.

"I've been fighting Eggman or someone since I was 5 years old and after creating Super Sonic, my Chaos has been getting weaker."

"When did you learn this?" Shadow asked.

"About a month after you left." she muttered.

"And you didn't tell us why?" Knuckles asked. "Me and Tails of all people!" he said and she winced.

"I didn't want to worry you or interrupt your adventures!" she said and they sighed and shook their heads.

"What are we gonna do with you?" Tails muttered and Knuckles nodded.

"How long do you have left?" Shadow asked.

"At this point considering that I passed out while just running, maybe a month?" Sonic said and they looked at her in shock.

"There's gotta be something we can do!" Tails said fighting tears and Knuckles held him close.

"I don't think there is Tails." she said shaking her head.

Shadow sat there and thought then looked at his limiters and thought of something.

"What if you wore limiters like me?" he said and they looked at him.

"I don't know." she said.

"You said Doctor retired right?"

"Yeah."

"Maybe he can make you limiters himself."

They looked at him in shock then looked at each other then Sonic, Tails and Knuckles looked at each other.

They knew he had studied Sonic's Chaos during the war and knew if he could do this that she might have more time so nodded.

"Let's go." Sonic said and got up but lost her balance for a second and Knuckles caught her. "Thanks." she said and Shadow took out his Chaos Emerald to make it easier.

"Let's go." he said. "Chaos Control!" he said and they were gone.

A few seconds later they were at Eggman's base and he jumped.

"What in blazes?!" Eggman said and saw them then Knuckles holding Sonic's shoulder so she doesn't fall. "What's wrong with you?"

"I, I think you overdid it Shads." Sonic said and passed out but Knuckles caught her and gently put her down on a couch.

Then he looked at Tails and they knew they were running out of time.

"Her Chaos is running low doctor. We know you studied her Chaos while she was captured." Shadow said and Eggman nodded. "Do you think limiters like mine will work?"

"Maybe." Eggman said.

"Please, we need your help." Tails said and started crying quietly so Knuckles held him close.

"I'll need one of Shadow's limiters to study it and figure something out."

So Shadow took off one of his limiters and Eggman went to his lab and got to work.

Even though they were once enemies he was still worried about this.

While Eggman was working Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow and Rouge were sitting there with Sonic.

"We shouldn't have left her." Knuckles said and Tails nodded.

"She hid something this bad from us so we could go on our own adventures." Tails said.

Amy, Rouge and Shadow watched them quietly knowing this was hard for them after being friends for so long.

"If Eggman can fix this I'm not leaving her." Knuckles said shaking his head.

"Me neither." Tails said shaking his head to. "I owe her for taking me in as a two year old."

"I owe her for all the times she forgave me after all the tricks I was played." Knuckles said and looked at Shadow and Rouge. "Thank you for finding her and saving her." he said and they nodded in shock that he just said that.

While they waited for Eggman Knuckles held Tails close in one hand and held Sonic's hand in the other while Tails gently rubbed her shoulder.

An hour later Eggman came and they looked at him.

"Well?" Tails said and Eggman took out a blue, red and orange necklace.

"It's just like Shadow's but a necklace." Eggman said. "I don't know how much longer it will give her but it'll slow down her Chaos."

Then he gave Shadow back his limiter and handed Tails the necklace.

He and Knuckles looked at it and noticed the colors and realized what they're for.

The blue one is for Sonic, the red part is for Knuckles and the orange part is for Tails.

They looked at him in shock then Tails put the necklace on Sonic and noticed her color was back to normal.

He got closer and heard her heart beating better and her breathing better.

He sighed in relief and looked at Eggman.

"Thank you." he said and Eggman nodded and left to give them some privacy.

"Now we just have to wait until she wakes us." Rouge said and they nodded.

Half an hour later they heard someone groan and looked at Sonic.

"Sonic?" Tails said and Sonic slowly opened her eyes.

"Guys?" she said and they sighed. "What happened?"

"I Chaos Controlled us to Doctor's base and asked him for help. You passed out when we got here." Shadow said and she nodded then noticed the necklace and looked at Tails and Knuckles.

"He made it. It's your own limiter. He put blue, red and orange for us." Tails said and she smiled.

"He's going soft." she said and they chuckled.

"We shouldn't have left you." Knuckles said.

"Guys-"

"No, he's right. We're a team and family." Tails said.

"We're not leaving you. Hell, I'm willing to move in with you to look after you!" Knuckles said.

"Same here."

Sonic looked at them and nodded.

"OK."

"You ready to head home?" Amy asked and she nodded.

So Knuckles picked her up and Shadow took the Emerald.

"Chaos Control!" Shadow said and they were gone.

When they got to Sonic's Knuckles gently put Sonic down on the couch.

Then they looked at the clock and Shadow and Rouge realized they were late to work.

"Shit!" Shadow said, grabbed Rouge and Chaos Controlled them to GUN.

Team Sonic and Amy looked at each other confused but shrugged and relaxed.
