I said what the images showed me on the master emerald,

"Mephiles seems to have a place where a huge egg-shaped building is there called the Death Egg. The Death Egg seems to be covered in so many black ashes and flames all over the place and inside shows each floor a very long hall with many prison rooms that are small. Later on, people including innocent ones will be captured and be placed in there. There are other rooms, one of them is where Mephiles and an unknown sort of demon will be settled in and another room seems to be.... well.. like a death penalty room I guess due to so may weapons and injections around.. every part in the building is in flames and ashes too. Very dark and so much smoke.." I finished what I said since that's all it showed me. Then Silver spoke,

"I see, well.. now you mentioned about the Death Egg, Eggman is actually the owner of that place, and in other words, did any of you even notice that he is gone missing since?"  When he said that, I stood in shock. I've been so dumb to think that despite he's our villain, he will be on our side to kill Mephiles and I've never even got any thought that we never heard of him once.

"Damn it." Sonic cursed himself and I guess he's blaming himself like how I am as well.
"You all should be warned that when a person is missing and that cause is by Mephiles, there's a 90% chance he or she will end up already dead and never to be seen again."
"So you're telling me Silv, that Egghead is gone?"
"I said only 90% chance he is. We still can't confirm anything else about him and you should even know that no matter how small the percentage is, even less than 10, it is still a chance to keep your hopes up that he can be okay. Now Sonic, I bet you and Tails still have something to say in front of Y/N."

"What?" I said and Sonic started talking,
"Look Y/N, the truth is, Silv and Shadz sorta knew that we could see Mephiles earlier than expected, that's what he actually wants, making us unprepared. In fact, the plan that me and Tails will do can actually be very useful on what you've seen in that Master Emerald. I may not know what will exactly happen but what I'm sure of is that what you saw is something totally bad."
"So, what are you and Tails going to do?"
"We are goin to be gone for more than three days to check out more information to see what Mephiles has, because what we're sure is that he isn't alone. Who knows, he can have more than hundreds of enemies ready by his side."
"Wait, does it really have to be you two only? No one including me can come with you?" Silver then answered my question,
"I'm afraid it can't be anyone else, Shadow needs to be with me for a while so we can find more clues about this burnt and damaged village. Sonic has to be the one to go and Tails is the only one that can stay by his side since he has been his sidekick and his brother since he was four. It has to be only two that can be sent out for this mission because if it were three or more, they can be easily caught and can possibly die because they will be seen easily. The rest of you will just continue what you've all been doing. You still need to have some chaos training as well."

After hearing Silver saying that, I don't know whether I should feel, glad, proud, scared or sad. I felt glad and proud of Sonic that he can do anything to save the world and that he will be about to do it again. But I'm afraid that without him, what if something bad is going to happen.. I'm also sad that I can still need his help and that I will miss him. I made a preference,

I smiled at him, "Ok, you and Tails can go, there are just some things I need to warn you before going alright?"
"You got it N/N" Sonic showed thumbs up and winked at me. So then I started talking. What the hell I didn't even noticed that Amy, Sticks and the others are gone, they were behind me just a few minutes ago...

"You guys can go on plane, but Tails since you will be the pilot for sure, please be careful when flying during battle." Tails smiled and nodded.
"You guys are brothers, I hope you both made a vow you won't leave each other's side. You can't be separated during the mission and one more thing Sonic... please promise me.. that you and tails... will come back here safe and sound.." I don't know why but when I said those last few words, I felt a whole rise of panic come into me.

"Chill N/N, I'm Sonic The Hedgehog, the fastest thing alive.. I can quickly save my bud and be safe and sound."

I then walked with them until I saw the plane. I was surprised that they prepared everything in there early than before. Sonic was going to wing, Tails was walking and about to fly up to the seat until I stopped him by grabbing his wrist gently.
"Huh? Y/N what is it?" Tails asked curiously and I looked at Sonic, he was busy fidgeting himself in the seat. I looked at Tails.
"Listen, even though something bad won't happen during your days with him, I still want to give you this just in case," I took out a small vial cork out of my pocket and handed it to him,

"Listen, even though something bad won't happen during your days with him, I still want to give you this just in case," I took out a small vial cork out of my pocket and handed it to him,

"It's an antidote called, 'Tears', when something seriously bad happens such as a serious fatal injury that you can almost die from it, pour all of this into the wound. It will completely heal the part where is fatal."
"Where did you get this?" I smiled at him.
"Court Lady Mai taught me."
It is true, during the times when I'm taking a break from my training, I'd visit the small palace to see her. I let her teach me few  recipes on scents, potions and perfumes. I wanted her to teach me something where you can save a person's life. This was the one." Tails did something that came a bit surprising, he jumped and hugged me.
"Thanks Y/N, you're like a big sister to me!" I smiled and hugged back the little fox.

"Hey Tails we don't have time to hug N/N, let's go!" We chuckled after Sonic's sentence. And so he went on the plane and started the engine.

What I also saw was Sonic's bright smile and his thumbs up to me right before the plane took off.

I hope they will be okay.

But then, something very weird happened, I touched and felt water on my face.
I realized I was crying so much.
C'mon Y/N, why are you crying? What's wrong? Why do I have a bad feeling in my chest?

It wasn't only because I will miss Sonic. I will ACTUALLY MISS him.
Because something very bad will happen. I don't need to find out in the Master Emerald, because I knew what was going to happen from the unknown pain in my heart.

Who knows? This would have probably been the last time I saw him... him.. why it has to be him that still has to go? Why him? Well, I guess.. it will be known in the next chapter.. I know I'm not meant to say that, but sorry it's true..

Unknown POV

"What are you exactly trying to do?" A demon mentioned..
"Yes... with that blue rat out of the way, I can finally get HER! But for now, let's play along with the blue rat and his little boy fox.."
"Why can't you just get her in the first place?"
"God.. your powers, spirits and body may be useful, but your brain is pathetic. It will be too quick and out of the main plan if I capture her all of a sudden. She needs to be lonely and separated from her dear friends. And then that way, everyone will have all the sorrow feelings. Including the feeling I had when Iblis is gone. They think I can still be weak without Iblis, but they will be proven wrong when the worlds been destroyed in pieces and flames."
"Wait a minute, those... that she had..."
"Yes.. they have all been caused by me since the beginning. She will turn out worse than expected in front of her so- called family. Once everything on my wish list has been completed, this will still be a new beginning."

Next Chapter: The Unexpected Preference Part 2

Author's note: Well that's finally done.. sorry if it seems to be a short chapter. It's the beginning of what the worse will happen. Part 2 will come soon. I just unexpectedly happen to be very busy. Since this is almost to chapter 20, the second recap will then be released as well :D
