-Silver-
My eyes widen at the words that came out of Knuckles' mouth. I knew what he said was untrue. Sonic never was a father in the future, and Sally died before I was even born. I knew better than to reveal who my real parents were, I wouldn't want things to get weird and I somehow mess up the future by erasing my own existence. Although it was true that Tails was my uncle, I have to tread carefully on how I defend my relation to him.
'What did this hot-head just get me into?'
I turned to look towards Sonic, who was inspecting his own hands and arms, and he switched his eyes between himself and me.
"My kid? How the hell does a squirrel and a hedgehog produce this lunatic!"
"Hey! Just because I have mind powers doesn't mean I'm crazy! I prefer to be called a cultured idiot."
"How is that any better?" Sonic exclaimed in my direction. "My genes are better than what HE is!"
I gritted my teeth as the feeling of annoyance built up inside me. Sonic was aggressively in my face, taunting me by sticking his tongue out. Before I can escalate the situation, a powerful force pulled me from behind my collar. I felt like for sure, I was going tumble over myself, but, they were strong enough to hold me in place. My eyes bulged as I was held just above the ground.
"Listen well, idiots! This behavior will lead to nothing that will help the broken future. If you both refuse to hold your tongues against each other, I will gladly rip them out for you." Shadow shoved me forward, almost causing me to fall. As I regained my balance, I shook my head slightly to regain my train of thought. "Shape up before I force you to."
"He has your personality for sure," Knuckles cackled. "Maybe you found someone else to have a kid with."
I heard a plate being thrown at Knuckles and crashing down onto the floor. Knuckles looked at Rouge for support, but she shrugged him off.
"Sorry hun, but you kind of deserved that one," Rouge exclaimed, winking at Sonic in approval for throwing something at her boyfriend to get him to shut up. "Don't casually say something like that and be surprised when you get a response."
"I would never leave Sally for anyone!" Sonic wrapped his arms around Sally from behind. She nuzzled back slightly as Sonic glared at the people around him. "So don't say things like that!"
"Look, we can discuss all of this later. I guarantee that you all will know who I truly am by the end of this. For now, can we focus on the bastards who are trying to kill all of you?"
I looked around the room with an eager face but earned nothing but empty stares. Then, my eyes set on Cream, who nervously held her hand up. I wanted to let out a laugh at her politeness, but instead, I nodded at her to proceed.
"Mr. S, who are these villains? Were they loyalists for Eggman seeking revenge?"
"No, not exactly," I took a second to breathe in. I could feel them looking at me, and I wanted to be stable enough to give them the answers they deserve. "We tried to figure out where both came from. All we know is Ace Wolfringe came from off-planet. Her power of illusion was given to her when she underwent experiments in prison. Along the way, she met her partner in crime, an unnamed figure known as 'Anti'. He's strong enough to raid and ravish cities without breaking a sweat. His brute strength isn't what makes him all-powerful. What really makes him dangerous is the fact that he can transform without the chaos emeralds."
In a quarter of a second, the moment my final sentence left my mouth, I watched as Sonic and Shadow confront me in my face, a threatening presence evident in their gaze.
