Before Silver's Events (06)

1) The Failure

"What's going on...?"
"Why is this happening?"
"I don't understand?"
"IBLIS I WILL KILL YOU!!!!"

As a young hedgehog was screaming out his anger feelings towards the creature. This thing that attacked his town. People are dead, the population is zero, no one has survived the attack but only the young hedgehog and his friend. It is all controlled by the creature who the hedgehog called "Iblis." It upsets the hedgehog every time Iblis is mention. He and his friend been trying to defeat Iblis. Plans were made, but it was broke off, whatever the idea or solution was to defeat Iblis, it turns into a failure for the young hedgehog and his friend. Quickly as they escape back into their base, another plan will be formed.
The young hedgehog is now using his power, telekinesis to lift up a heavy bolder smashing a wall as hard as he can. The young hedgehog usually does this when he gets upset, angry, and even frustrated. His unpleasant of his mood and the feeling towards Iblis really irks him all the time. It explains the dent in the wall of his base.

"Another plan failed?"
"When does it end?"
"I want my town back.."
"I want the people to come back and have good lives there"
"I want what's best for me and my friend..."
"Please God... I want peace..."

As the hedgehog was thinking this as he was continued to smash the wall with the bolder, he  felt his eyes wet.
"What is this?" He was thinking "Oh right tears... again."
This isn't the first time the hedgehog has cried. On numerous occasions he has cry and even when he was going to sleep. Why? Because the young hedgehog thinks he's a huge failure. Even if his friend comes and comforts him and always gives him positive advice, he still thinks he's a failure. No inspiring words of wisdom from his friend can't change his opinion about himself.
The young hedgehog uses his telekinesis to break the bolder. Its control was to break it into tiny pieces and it did, causing it to fly everywhere in the base but the hedgehog didn't feel like cleaning up his mess once again. He slumped his knees down on the floor and cried. He cried about Iblis, he cried about how his life is turning out, how he and his friend are starving all the time with no food or money to support themselves, and believe it or not the hedgehog cried about his parents for the first time in a while. He wonders who they really were and he wanted their help they would go out of their way for him. Over the years the young hedgehog heard from his master before he went missing four years ago told him this.

*******************************************

"My son." The master said "Your parents were great heroes of this world, their protection meant everything to them to make sure this world is safe. They made sure no one was hurt. Them being heroes was an adventure for both of them. It's skeptical for me to think that your parents ending up falling in love with each other due to their personalities."
"Really..?" The young hedgehog looked at him a bit confused. He scratched his head. "Master?" He begin saying "Why their personalities for?"
The master continued on. "Well my son, your father was a mysterious person. He always had his arms across and in deep thought. Cautious of his thinking around people too. But deep inside, he was a good person. Your father caught to make sure everyone was safe. He was a outstanding hero. He showed empathy for people and his allies even though his facial expression was stern."
The master laugh a bit.
"Oh but once in a blue moon he would crack a smile and that smile was for your mother. Your father had always loved your mother since the first day he met her and he knew he wanted to married her. He was a brave one who had control of power and always fought for his questions to be answered. He was like you my son. He didn't have a family, he wanted to know answers just like you. Once he know who he was my son, your father was in a lot of pain. He was grieving over someone who he really cared about who had sacrificed for him to live. Your father really cared for his only friend and always thought of his friend. Until your mother was their during the time of his grieving over his friend. Your mother saw another side of him she never knew that made her changed her opinion of your father. She truly really starting caring for your father my son. She started taking care of him and cooking meals for him. And so did he, he always took care of your mother before they got married."

The master slid a small smile and continued.

"On the other hand, your mother at first didn't respect and appreciate your father. She often get annoyed at him with his dark personality. He often rolled his eyes at your mother unamused with her not liking your father but he knew he loved her but keep it a secret from her for years. Your mother was a outgoing person. She had such a sweet and bright personality. She was very smart as well as your father was. Her power was leveled with your fathers which impressed him. She fought for the world. She was a strong woman. Your mother also had a nurturing heart for people. She always made sure everyone was good and safe and if someone is hurt, she would often take care of them, heal them and made a nice cooked meal for them to cheer them up. She always love going on new, exciting adventures for her to remembrance it by. Your mother had eyes for another person who she really cared for, but he never liked her that way. It broke her heart and upset her for a while. That's when your father starting allying with her closer and she hated it and him at first until his grieving over his friend really took effect on her feelings for your father and liked I said. She took care of him. Over time, they slowly fell in love with each other. Your father asked in hand for her to married him and they eloped. After that you were born."
The young hedgehog was awed in the story of his parents his master told him. Even though the hedgehog thought of the master like a father to him. He still wanted to know about his real father as well as his mother. How lucky the master knew the young hedgehog's parents. Over the lit tone of voice his master was saying about his parents, he must had loved them. Even though his master didn't look anything like the young hedgehog. The master had a maroon scarf around his mouth area and only saw his eyes. His left eye was purple and his right eye was a teal-green color. It was unusual but the master said he had inherited from his parents. The masters had a dark gray ninja type suit, His quilts was covered in bright red band wraps and it had a clear version that his master was a echidna. Over the band wraps the hedgehog saw his skin. It was pearl white. Beautiful... the young hedgehog admired the imaged of his master. He wanted to be just like him. The young hedgehog never question much about his masters family and the species he is. He thinks it isn't important to be asking his master about it.
The master looked out his base window, pitched dark now.
"Well my son, you better hear off to bed. Tomorrow be up and early. We have a long day of training for you ahead."
As the master started walking to the door of his room. The young master called out to him.
"Master?"
The master tuned around and looked at the hedgehog concerned. "Yes my son?"
"Master? Can you please tell me my parents names and who they really were to me? Did they love me? Did they want me to be strong like them?" The young hedgehog said getting a little sensitive.
The master let out a big sigh. "I'm sorry my son... I can not tell you the names of your parents."
"Why not master?" The young hedgehog said getting a little ticked.
"Because my son. I promised your parents not to mention about them to you while your growing up with me. They told me when the time is right and now the time isn't right. But I will tell you the two other questions. Yes, your parents loved you very much and they still do and they did want you to be strong like them. Actually even stronger than them."
The young hedgehog looked curious at his master and just nodded. "Okay. I respect your choice and my parents choice master. But I will promise you this.... I will be stronger than both my parents and even you hopefully." As the hedgehog sticked out his tongue and laughed
The master laughed. "Your just liked your mother there for a second. But for real my son get some rest now for tomorrow's training. Slept well."
"Goodnight master." The young hedgehog said.
"Goodnight my son." As the master walked into the darkness of his room.

*******************************************

Thinking about the master had shed more tears for the young hedgehog. He doesn't understand how one day he woke up and waiting for hours he was waiting for his master to come out form his room for training and he checked on him and he was gone. The young hedgehog looked everywhere around town for him. He was no where to be found. The young hedgehog at the time searched for his master for weeks. No one in town saw him. Weeks turned into months and months turn into years and still his master wasn't was found. That is when his friend moved into the base so both can train themselves independently. The young hedgehog knew his master wanted him to only worry about himself and go on with his life and training himself as well.
As the tears continued, he still felt bad about his master and his sadness over his parents. He thought of seeing his master and parents and for him to just run up to them and hugged all three of them until that thought went away with a hand on his shoulder.
He turns to see who had lay a hand on his shoulder. He looked and saw a young purple cat looked at him so concerned and worried about him.
"Silver?"
