Amy was taking a stroll at Green Hill Zone she was taking a break from searching for her hero Sonic and enjoying the time of season.

Things had been quite slowed down for a while now, nothing had happened no Dr. Eggman trying conquering the world or maybe the doctor was extensively planning for his next move, no one knows for sure.

And what about Sonic?

Amy had been searching for the blue hedgehog but just ended up losing his track when she was so close, at the moment she taking a break from Sonic and wished the sakura girl had any other things to do.

Mephiles was tired and bored of waiting in the confinement of his cave but as he did regain some of his strength now he leaves the cave. He walking aimlessly around the area looking for something to do or destroy. But seems likely he had missed calculate his condition, as he suddenly feeling weak and slowly loosing consciousness soon his body collapse on the ground somewhere in Greenhill Zone.

Before he loose consciousness Mephiles saw a person rushing to aid him before he completely blackout.

Amy was still in her stroll around Greenhill Zone as she kept on walking she thought back on her friends was doing, Cream and her mother Vanilla along with their robot helper Gemerl was out of town, Big probably fishing somewhere, Blaze was back to her dimension a while back with Silver, Shadow and Rouge maybe doing some mission from G.U.N., Knuckles was still guarding the Master Emerald at Angle Island, Tails was in his workshop working on a new invention and lastly the Chaotix was working on some cases.

She heard something was falling in front of her that snap Amy from her thoughts, the Sakura hedgehog check out what it was and was shocked to see someone was laying on the ground and rushed to his aid

"Hey! Are you okay?" Amy shake him and realized that the person was unconscious

She struggled to carry the person as Amy successfully carry the person by her shoulder she realized that the person was breathing hard, his temperature is dangerously high and he seems to be sweating

'He seems to be unwell... I must hurry and treating his condition' Amy thought as she carries the person slowly towards her apartment in Station Square

After that she brought him to her home, she start to treat the hedgehog condition and was surprised that the male hedgehog had not just sick but he also had so many scars and deep cuts on his body the most prominent injury are the one on his hands and the side of his stomach

While treating the person health and wounds, she realized that this person was almost look identical to her friend Shadow but also quite different with his fur being pale black and his stripes being greyish green with grey muzzle. After she's done patching the male hedgehog wounds she let him rest and keeping eye on his condition until he's wake up.
