The Man Out Of Time [A ShadAmy and Silver Story]

Chapter 8

-Silver-

I couldn't believe the words I had let slip out. I quickly covered my mouth, and I hastily stood up, so Sonic wouldn't hit me like he was threatening to. All I saw in Sonic's eyes were panicked, yet I didn't know why. The dark aura was gone, and Sonic was on his knees.

"You got some explaining to do."

I looked at him and nodded. I knew there was no turning back at this point, and I couldn't do anything to prevent this from happening. But I'm glad that it was my uncle Sonic that I get to talk to about the future. Aside from uncle Tails, my uncle Sonic has always been there with me. He was the one who told me the stories and adventures that my mother and himself had during their 'prime-time.' Not only that, he taught me to fight and use my abilities when my father refused to do so. Sonic looked around before motioning for me to follow him outside.

The morning sun greeted us, and although it was bright and cheery, the story I am to tell my confused uncle would be sure to ruin the atmosphere. Out of seemingly nowhere, uncle Sonic pulled out a blue chaos emerald. I gasped and was about to point it out when he shushed me.

"I rarely do this, but this is an exception. I need to know what happens to my friends."

I looked into his bright green eyes, they were filled with determination and a hunger for the knowledge of the future. I nodded as I put my hand on his shoulder. Uncle Sonic took a deep breath before clutching the emerald in his hand.

"Chaos Control!"

I shut my eyes, my body felt weird and tingly as we transported. Since the chaos emerald were destroyed before I was born, I never knew the power they possessed, let alone how it felt to do the signature 'chaos control'. I opened my eyes when I felt uncle Sonic step away from me. I had no idea where I was even standing. My surroundings were entirely new to me, but just because they were new it doesn't mean they were horrible. We landed in a lush, green prairie blooming with pink and orange flowers. I felt uncle Sonic's eyes on me as I gawked at the peaceful beauty that was this scenery.

"It's like you've never seen a field kid."

I looked at him, a depressive look on my face as I nibbled on my lip slightly.

 "I've never seen one this peaceful. The fields in the future are riddled with battle scars and dead plants. It's amazing to me how something so simple can make you feel so happy."

Uncle Sonic smiled at me as he walked around the field, looking for a spot to sit so that the flowers wouldn't get crushed. After a while of walking in complete silence, we came across a hill with a tall tree. Despite my uncle having the power to run at the speed of sound, we both calmly walked up the hill as if we had all the time in the world. Uncle Sonic sat down first, and I soon followed. I didn't know what to make of any of this. I can practically feel the anxiety inside of me build up with every passing second that we sit together.

"Look kid, I'm sorry that I'm putting all this pressure on you, I mean, I doubt you like any of this unwanted attention either, but you need to tell me everything that happens to the people I love. I don't think I can go another second without knowing everything that goes on in the future."

Uncle Sonic's blunt words pierced knives in my heart. Although it will be hard to hear everything I am about to say, telling the tragic story of his future and my past is even worse.

"It started with the attack on my mother's neighborhood. Their entrance alone caused so many innocent people to die. Except for Amy, my mother. She was so injured, by the time they got her somewhere stable enough, they were forced to put her in a medically induced coma. My father said she was in that coma for two years, and even then, she barely managed to pull through. My father said she was in a coma for two years. By the time she woke up, Mobius wasn't the same."
