Custom Chapter! But it relates to the story :)

"Alright Silver, speak up." You narrowed your eyes and placed your hands on the boy's shoulders, grabbing his attention.

The hedgehog boy was still stunned at your betrayal, standing between him and his task. He tried to get up from the bench but your barbaric strength was too overwhelming for his magical little body.

(I am so sorry. It's supposed to be a Dnd reference to wizards not having strength)

"Get off of me (Y/n)!-" Silver barked, raising his head up high as he opened his mouth, baring his teeth in an attempt to bite at your forearm.

"HEY." You yelled, headbutting him as it was the fastest way to counteract. The downward force caused Silver to bite his tongue, letting out a surprised and painful yelp.

He shook his head and pushed you off with his feet, the bench being used as leverage for the attack. Silver threw himself back upwards, pointing as he yelled at you. "Why did you stop me!? That's the guy I was telling you about."

"Because he's saved MY best friend two times now. He's not your enemy Silver. There's no way Sonic would do that even if he is a sarcastic egotistical asshole." You went to push SIlver back down, the smaller hedgehog dodging to the side and attempting to weakly punch your side.

You drew in your elbows and brought your left down on the top of his head, certainly knocking him down a peg and telling him he wouldn't win a fist fight with you even if he was fast enough. You turned to face him as he knelt on the ground rubbing his head, kneeling too as you grabbed the scruff of his neck and brought him up.

"You need to stop trusting everything you hear. This isn't the internet anymore and real people are getting hurt."

You proceeded to throw him back on the bench, the poor lad giving up. Amy had watched the whole thing unfold and both of you honestly forgot she was there. You glared at her to sit too, and she did. Plopping down on the wooden panels and patiently waiting, disturbed by your powerful and menacing nature. It made her blush and made you reasonably uncomfortable by the psychopath.

Shaking your head, you looked between them both. "NOW. You will each tell me your stories and I'll share mine. We're piecing this disaster together."

. . . . Silver had gone first, explaining the situation with the future. A future brought up by a certain someone, supposedly Sonic according to him, and in turn, according to Mephiles. 

Amy was certain to refute that, saying Sonic was the greatest hero and would never allow something like that to happen. Although he was always confident in his abilities, he would die if it meant everyone else would be saved.

Your story shared the distrust of Mr. Memphis Tennessee, and how Eggman was searching for that same flame Silver described. There was some connection here and you vowed to find it.

"In my eyes, I want to think Mephiles tricked you, Silver, into thinking Sonic was evil. So you'd destroy his greatest potential enemy for him. That means he wants the flame too. Eggman wants it for power... so what does Mephiles want it for?"

Silver shook his head and objected, "Mephiles only told me how to stop the disaster, not that he wants the flame for himself."

"He's tricking you dumbass." You placed a hand on your forehead and brushed it down to cartoonishly pull at your eyelids. 

"Why would Mephiles want Sonic dead?" Amy chimed in, CLEARLY, not paying attention to the conversation. You could only stare at her with deadpanned (e/c) eyes as she continued to wander curiously back into her own crazy mind. Silver was also reminded of how weird Amy was, and scooted away from her on the bench as far as he could.

 Back to Silver, you continued your conversation. You had your idea and Silver appeared to still need solid clarity. "Listen, Silver, you can go find your own truth, but if you dare to try to attack Sonic again or harm Elise again. We'll have problems."

"Yeah yeah..." My murmured, but a slight punch to the shoulder by your fist made him perk up and wince. "OK. Yeah- I understand."

"Good." You put your hands back to your side and sad down on the same bench, pondering... Now that that quarry was over. Silver was a little curled up, afraid of you and glancing the other direction as he thought over what you said to him.

 Meanwhile, none of you payed attention to Amy as she began skipping off to wherever. Deep down you hoped to never see her again.

After a few minutes of silence, your social awkwardness was suppressed by a call on your little communication thing Tails gave you. Such devices still confuse you as you fumbled to press the button connection to the piece on your ear. 

Sonic's voice came out. "Hey (Y/n), we found Elise but she's been taken to a deep bunker by Eggman who is personally holding her captive."

"Well, are you going to pull her out?" Your eyes widened at the news, Silver quietly glancing over as you started to talk to what looked like air. 

There was bickering on the other side of the line, primarily between Sonic and the young voice of Tails. "Ok fine!" The blue hedgehog spoke up again. "As much as I hate to say it, we might need your help (f/c) boy."

"Where? I'm on my way." Tails did the honor of providing their coordinates as you stood up, finding it was in the mountains. Before you left, you looked to Silver one last time, who was still submissively curled up on the bench.

You turned your back to leave, glaring a (e/c) back to him as you softly spoke, "Hey, don't let me stop you from finding a way to save your future. Yelling at you was only personal when you hurt my friend." The bot only nodded and proceeded to finally unfold, sitting on the bench and staring at the ground. 

Left in his own thoughts, alone, as you raced off to rescue your friend.
