AUGHHHH YOU FUCKING GOT ME

[rxbelling-hxrald]

Timeline so far

// Long post warning, I’ll put it under a read more to save space but this is going to be a rough but overall flow to Dan’s story and interactions as a whole so far in his main verse over the years I’ve RPed as him. Not counting resets. So those of you more new to meeting him can get a taste of how far he has developed.

Seriously, You’ll be in for a long droning read. This is only if your genuinely interested in catching up how Dan got to the stage he is in now. This will probably sport several grammar errors and terrible pacing but I might fix that in time, right now my priority is just wanting something for myself and others to refer too as to where Dan actually is in his story.

-----------------

Upbringing and Arrival on Mobius - After several years of torment and harsh training in the demon realm to become the next perfect vessal, Dan finally breaks free of his father’s influence over him and promptly begins fending off his demon counterparts in a desperate bid to evade being consumed. The battle lasts for a day as Dan constantly tries to flee before finally being beaten down by the hordes. His father permits the torture to continue believing it as the end before one powerful strike from an brute type abomination sends Dan flying accidentally into an abyssal portal. With the last of his remaining energy  Dan manages to block the entrance as he flies through it and sending him flying through the multi-verse pathways. His father immediately orders a hunt to reclaim the prize though it would take time to break the seal Dan left on the portal.

By chance he ends up roughly landing on green pastures and surrounded by trees. beaten, bleeding and clueless as to what he was seeing and spending several hours too terrified to even dare to move, All of the colors and plants were things he didn’t believe actually existed and with him fading in and out of consciousness it was tricky to assume it was even real to begin with.

With enough time his body was able to recover and he’d pluck up the confidence to actually try touching the flora, then when it seemed safe, he began trying to eat them....flowers, twigs....you name it. Some were obviously more edible than others but he was starving and didn’t care what it was as long as he could munch it down.

Discovery and In Hiding - It took several days for Dan to finally begin venturing out from his initial landing spot, in that time he’d learned the existence of wildlife and had ended up disturbing them frequently both due to his presence as a demon and the fact he’d also attempt to hunt them like a savage with his bare hands. Unlike the demon realm listening out for sounds caused by the surroundings and wildlife was much easier and night would prove little difficulty for him to traverse being used to the eternal void of space in the demon realm.

One day, Dan would eventually stumble across a collection of structures as he pursued some curious looking birds, hiding in the shrubbery he’d finally catch a first glimpse of the local inhabitants in the form of mobians. Of course initially being the next closest thing to a sentient creature like the demons Dan was actually more intimidated by them seeing their apparent mastery in every field given their well developed common life. who knew what powers they might also possess if they were capable of such decor?

Dan would spend a good period of time observing them from a safe distance, watching their habits and motions. These views soon enough revealed that mobian hedgehogs were a surprisingly common sight and so plans begun to blend in as one, which is what prompted the black hedgehog visage nowadays, their lack of clothing only made it easier to mimic their general physique and after a few tries, Dan was able to completely shift himself into a mobian hedgehog.

Even though most mobians seemed to prefer a lack of clothes, it was peculiar to Dan not to wear anything at all even if he was only used to dirty rags and scraps. So one night he’d sneak along towards the establishments again and stole one single uniform he liked the look of which was his favoured black coat. It also proved to be useful with his powers over shadow allowing him to blend into the night almost seamlessly.

First Encounters and Emotional learning - While he was now able to mimic mobian looks and even got himself some suitable clothing to go along with it, He still had little clue how to actually communicate like them and next went about in public, trying to pick up on certain mannerisms and how others generally acted.

It was difficult to even act like the mobians in a calm and casual manner due to his wary nature that they were still supposedly some unknown powerful group of creatures, like the demons or worse, though it was becoming apparent they didn’t appear to hold any frequent fatality gatherings. They simply spoke to one another.

As Dan had been trying to focus on learning, his demon brethren had finally managed to open up the abyssal portal pathways and quickly squads of scouts were dispatched at regular intervals, unable to perfectly align with the same circumstances their quarry had been sent through they figured exploring enough realms in enough quantities they’d find him sooner or later.

They were right. a group of these demon scouts whose speciality was infiltration would blend almost perfectly with the mobian locals. It didn’t take long for them to silently dispose of figures that were able to find them access to more information in mass and pose as them and with their nature to sense other forms of darkness it didn’t take too long for them to learn Dan’s position.

Another fight would ensue in the forests after Dan had decided to fall back away from the populations, he’d win with his foes not nearly being as deadly as others he’d fought, but he was injured enough for others to more clearly notice him which is how he’d eventually gain the attention of future lost friends in the form of Tails and Silver. Tails wanting to help the injured ‘hedgehog’ after Dan stumbled across his workshop and Silver after having witnessed one of the battles going on later on, thinking a capable but innocent civilian was being attacked.

Unfortunately, the failure of the scouts coming back to report told the demon lord all he needed to know as to where Dan was exactly.

New faces and Lost friends - During this period, the kindness shown to him by both Tails and Silver were what made Dan realise that the mobians in of themselves were not actively hostile, eventually Dan would come clean as to both who/what he was to the pair of them but they genuinely didn’t seem to care about his origin in the kindest way with him not being a threat. but with the danger of more demons arriving on learning his location they needed to find a means of keeping them guessing.

Tails was the one that introduced him to the concept of warp rings and after a few attempts of giving Dan a few to try out, the bright two tailed inventor gave him a custom warp ring device, allowing Dan to input any assortment of coordinates so that he could travel between the zones/realms of mobius near instantly.

While Dan never got the hang of remembering the exact coordinates, it gave him the means to keep ahead of his enemies while also allowing him to learn and explore all the more freely, this is what truly enabled Dan’s wanderlust and picking a direction with little care of where it might lead. It was during this time with the warp ring device Dan would encounter several others whom he’d befriend on his travels such as Voltage and Harmony . Things were a little shaky and Dan would frequently try to avoid coming into proper contact with people too often for fear that the demons would learn to focus the innocents down.

Unfortunately, One encounter with more of his enemies resulted in the warp ring device malfunctioning after sustaining damage. Silver would assist while Tails attempted to fix the device but the damage was worse than expected, while more hordes kept arriving to only further pressure the trio. When one demon attempted to attack the young fox, Dan would get in the way though it would prompt a collision, the device being dropped and activated...everyone was sucked in but cast across various locations.

Dan was alone again, until he was able to find his way back by another warp ring he was able to take for himself but not being a custom built design, the ring only warranted a one way trip.

Wandering and Training - While circumstances had changed, the plan did not as Dan had little else he could go for...evade capture, try to skip between the realms and zones, learn as much as possible and try to keep demons from terrorizing the public, especially his new found friends in the face of losing the duo who had previously helped him so much.

This is why he holds Tails and Silver alternates to such a high value, he wants to repay them for all of their help, so he views him helping them and keeping them happy is paying back what was given to him.

Realising that the threat of his father was constantly looming no matter where he ran too, the only way for this to end was for him to become powerful enough to destroy his kin completely, he was getting sick of running and he knew he had a potential with the darkness unlike most of his kind. Between travelling and the occasional act of thievery, Dan would train alone, honing his instincts, techniques and powers, weaponizing his anger and determined to inspire fear in his enemies by becoming an overwhelming powerhouse with his already impressive traits as a demon.

Most demons in Dan’s kind only respect power, at the same time they both fear and envy those with it. Only Dan’s father had such an uncanny level of power to hold such dominion over the hordes, being the collective consciousness of several ‘dark lords’ that were meant to be maintaining balance, instead they were twisted and wanting to end everything to end the constant struggles between light and darkness, what better method than to deny existence itself so there was no need for a balance in the first place?

Instead of a game of cat and mouse, Dan intended for it to eventually turn into a clash of titans but he needed greater access to power while also being able to spread terror amongst the demon hordes. Hence his travels would now begin focusing on any artefacts, traces of demonic energy any other ‘dark’ types within the zones/realms.

It didn’t take too long for Dan to become obsessed with the topic of one the mobians called Dark Gaia.

A Greater Understanding With A Hint Of Insanity - A long period would be Dan exploring, training and getting into encounters with his friends on their own adventures. He was happy to lend them a helping hand but it was becoming evident that his emotions were getting the better of him.

He wanted to protect them, to live with them but also stay away from them as fear of losing more close friends terrified him. He’d been alone during his younger years and he wasn’t going to allow himself to lose contact entirely. As much as he’d wish to live normally, he was a demon and it would be impossible for everyone to truly accept him so why care? He’d only bring more terror with him being present in their realm or fail in his mission and become another enemy of them anyway.

The paranoia and fear continued to eat away at him, getting increasingly agitated with the lack of success in finding anything he could work with to gain an advantage, Chaos energy proving to be something he had no affinity for, the Light would burn and deny him. Technology being either too frail or beyond his understanding, with a last ditch wish to summon and consume the being of Dark Gaia to further strengthen himself not being favoured by most he knew at all.

It was just not possible to apparently get the message across to those he did know why they should avoid him or help him in his mission, Their care for him was only proving to be a weakness....he was sure of it. If they wouldn’t see the truth then he’d both prove their doubts wrong while also saving them.

Another asset to this increased intense mentality was the essence of his defeated kin he’d began to absorb with each he slew. The most powerful of which was a particularly able and strong, yet failed earlier vessel attempt that had been discarded by his father for being too easily twisted by his power, the creature loved to refer to Dan as his brother. After the battle with the apparent brother was over....the tremendous levels of dark energy gained would soon begin to strain on Dan’s body.

Within hours his right hand that he’d used to impale his ‘false’ brother had become completely overwhelmed in demonic essence, the power was great but it had forcibly transformed against Dan’s will, even the so called perfect vessel evidently wasn’t entirely immune to the twisting power of darkness, it showed a small hint of what Dan truly was in appearance, reminding him once more he was not a mobian by any means.

The ‘Attempted’ Resurrection of Dark Gaia - At first it was just his hand, but the power flow was so great it too began to corrupt Dan’s forearm....then his elbow, his shoulder. Forcibly reconstructing his entire right limb to take the visage of the monster he feared to become and given that his veins would burn with a faint purple glow, it was soon clear that this new increase in power had only tainted him. He needed to win his battle against his father before this ‘infection’ took over his entire body and mind.

At the same time, with his friends growing increasingly concerned and wary of his new developments, Dan’s mind drifted deeper into doubt, assuming they still didn’t believe in him to be able to defeat dark gaia, which in turn meant he was still too weak to fight his father.

Determined to prove them wrong, Dan decided he’d go all out in allowing his new found powers to not only tempt the diety back into the world, but then crush it and add its strength to his own. the demon-hog had learned of a method he could use to possibly incite a reaction. By making use of one of Eggman’s old facilities and repairing a super laser aimed directly into a bottomless chasm, wishing to infuse the beam with his own energy, believing it would be enough to hit the centre of the planet and therfore awaken the beast within.

After managing to even capture a relic of Dark Gaia’s previous existence and successfully managing to control it albeit with some difficulty and resistance, Dan felt it was a sign that he was going to wipe out a future threat to the planet and then destroy the current threat to the universe.

The plan would never actually begin however, after weeks of trying and despite all of Dan’s methods and practice he was unable to get anyone capable of repairing the super laser or being able to infuse it with his own tainted energy. The corruption spreading across his body was reaching a boiling point and he was sure that he was going to lose it completely.

Avoiding Disaster and Return - Unbeknown to Dan this entire time, the ‘infection’ was simply the result of an overflow of darkness, to a degree not even his body was used to withholding. Dan believed it was a genuine demonic disease of sorts which would affect not only himself but others.

While there is a degree of truth to the transforming process to become a fully fledged demon, it was not a spreadable disease by common methods.

Expecting the end, Dan felt that the best course of action was to go out with a bang as he willingly opened up one of the abyssal portals he’d spent so much time closing before now, then entering so he could battle the hordes and his father.

The return to the demon realm was as you’d expect, violent but Dan was still not a match for the overwhelming reserves of energy his father had. Dan would take down scores of the lesser nightmares but would be unable to even land a scratch on the dark lord.

Eventually his father would take a hold of Dan’s demonic limb as they struggled, Dan’s physical prowess may have been stronger but even he couldn’t resist the several thousand worth of dense solidified darkness that his father had used to grip him and within an instant, Dan lost the limb...ripped clean off and promptly absorbed into the mass of shadow that was the dark lord.

Even after a year of fighting, training, nothing had changed in the power scale between them, even if he had become strong enough to reduce the other monsters to dust in minimal time, the fight that mattered? Was still beyond his abilities.

It seemed like that was it, the fight was lost as the demon-hog bled profusely over the soot covered ground, several lesser demons already eyeing the crimson liquid to enjoy once this was over. The father went to end this resistance by wishing to repeat the process on the rest of Dan’s body.

It was in these brief seconds that both father and son were reminded of their combined feats. Dan knew he could transform his body, but he’d never attempted to shift himself into a similar state like his father existed as, a gassy, ethereal like creature of horrors. the demon-hog uses his mastery of umbrakenesis to shift his entire body to gas. appearing as the same thick black smoke his father did as he’d phase out and away from his father’s grip.

Naturally the father roared and attempted to regain control by grabbing Dan again, but each attempt simply resulted in the same result of no physical contact being made on any plane. The difference in power was evident but they both had control over their own darkness and in the material plane of gas, any contact made would simply give space for more to float on by. The now ethereal demon-hog quickly floated on out of another abyssal portal that had erupted in sight nearby, repeating the same trick he’d done a year ago.

The father would unleash his rage by killing several of his minions in a single swipe, ordering the immediate retrieval of Dan. The sense of deja vu was aggravating to the dark lord beyond all else.

Dan would also have a similar experience as he’d hit the ground with a painful thud after emerging from the portal and returning to a physical, mobian form. He was armless but the one advantage of having an arm comprised of that twisted, writhing flesh the demons were infamous for, was that it was capable of regeneration given enough time and that right arm was already long tainted by his previous gains.

The New Status Quo - The battle and subsequent survival by going into a different plane took a huge quantity of energy out of Dan, as such he’d soon realise that his previous level of strength had faded but in doing so it had stopped the spread of the ‘infection’ his right arm might be forever tainted now but it was a blessing in disguise much like the rest of his origin being able to survive, endure and eventually regenerate into its mutated mess.

It took several weeks to properly regain its previous muscle mass and deadly array of protruding spikes, but Dan had time, time he spent practising his control over using the abyssal portals, both to seal and to travel so the demons no longer had a method of reliably tracking him down through them without the risk of running into him midway.

By the time they had once again regained access to the portal’s vast array of tunnelling pathways through the universe, Dan had already managed to lock off the majority of access points on the other ends too with his new experience over them. Now he had more time to prepare and plan, while also attempting to get back in touch with his friends and hopefully get past his entire phase of madness.

The Now - Dan has not given up his mission in eventually overcoming and destroying his father so that he can truly drop the threat of demon invasions across the universe. But he’s not as naive as he once was and he’s gained a lot more insight and power in the process even if he is not quite as strong as he was back when he wished to bring back Dark Gaia.

Not much can be said as to what he’ll actually plan to do in future achieve this, but he’s come to realise he should trust his friends more and will need their help and methods rather than relying solely on his own pure brute strength as the apparent ‘Heir of Darkness’  For now he focuses on strengthening his bonds with those he both tried to push away and make the most of his life on mobius, he’s come to understand that he’s not mobian and there’s no point hiding in the shadows anymore. He will be more likely to achieve greater help and strength should he be honest with the world around him.

Who knows, perhaps your muse will hold the key to his success? or maybe something else entirely. Compared to what he once was he’s no longer the anxious and clueless wreck, this was thanks to those he has met and gave him the time of day.

Good friend - Silver future - I'm glad that I met you

You find yourself unable to move from fatigue and injury so you look up at the sky and you find yourself rather calm and tranquil because you know you’ve done what you needed to do.

You slowly start to fade in and out of consciousness and after awhile you find yourself slowly drifting out of consciousness and eventually pass out.

You wake up to find yourself in your room with bandages on your wounds. When you try to get up you feel a sharp pain in your head and your side.

“Hey, easy, easy. You're hurt pretty bad.”

You look to who spoke to you and you see a silver hedgehog sitting next to you with a concerned look on his face.

“Who are you and where am I?”

“My name's Silver the hedgehog and we're in my house. I thought it would be best to bring you here since it’s more dangerous to travel at night.”

You nod in agreement and lay back down

“So you're the one who’s been helping more refugees reach the liberty sanctuary, right?”

You quietly nod to Silver.

“Well, it's good to meet another person doing their best to help others.”

You're left somewhat surprised by Silver's comment.

“Wait, weren’t there more people groups helping them?”

Silver looks down with a somewhat saddened look in his eyes

“Well, recently they’ve lost their will to fight or their dead and no ones found them yet like how you were almost dead.”

You feel shocked from learning why not as many refugees have been showing up as of late, but for the most part, it doesn’t surprise you and you don’t have much of a reaction to it.

“I see. So I’m guessing you and I are the only ones who’ve been really active, huh?”

Silver looks up at you and nods, but quickly realized you already knew of him.

“You’ve heard about me?”

“Yeah, you're the only one besides me who’s been fighting alone so I payed attention to what you’ve done from time to time.”

Silver has a very happy look on his face from your comment, “W-Well, in any case you should probably get some rest for now you're still in pretty bad shape.”

You nod in agreement to Silver and go to sleep for now.

~few days later~

After a few days of resting at Silvers home, you’ve made good progress on your recovery, but you kept to yourself for the most part only talking to Silver about how everything back at the remaining towns, city’s, and the liberty sanctuary is doing. Most of the news isn’t good and Silver's doing his best when he heads out, but he’s struggling since more of the fighters are dead or giving up.

“Y/n, how’re you doing today? You've been recovering at a pretty fast pace.”

“I’m feeling a lot better now. Thank you for asking, Silver.”

“You think you’ll be able to keep fighting on your own in almost in a decent enough condition to be moving around more freely?”

“Luckily, attacks have been dying down a bit so we should be able to relax.”

A sigh, "Well, that’s a relief. I guess taking a breather every now and then is good."

"How’re you doing anyway, Silver? You’ve been pushing yourself these past few days with the fighting and helping me recover.”

“I’m doing okay with all things considered. I’m doing better than I thought. Although, it is nice knowing we can relax for a bit.”

Just after Silver said that, you hear an explosion nearby.

“Oh no. More robots are attacking one of the checkpoints and there’s a lot of them.”

“Then I’m coming with you.”

“That’s not a good idea, Y/n, you're still hurt.”

“Don’t worry. I’m a lot better than I was last time, Silver. Plus, we’ll have the guards at the checkpoint to help us out.”

Silver hesitantly looks towards the explosion and then at you before sighing, "Alright. Let's go. Just be careful, please. You're doing great with your recovering from your injuries.”

You both head to the fire and when you arrive, you see the guards fighting for their lives.

“Let’s do this, Y/n!”

You both charge straight into the fight.

~later in the fight~

After you and Silver have taken down half of the robots, your wound on your side starts to hurt tremendously.

“ACK!! DARN IT!!”

When you fall to your knees, three robots quickly attempt to attack you, but you dodged them and took one out in the process. When you look to block the two robots, you see a green light appear and Silver standing in front of you.

“Are you alright, Y/n?!”

“Yeah, I’ll be okay. Thanks.”

Shortly afterwards, you finish off the rest of the robots and check on the surviving guards.

“Thank you both for your help. If you two weren’t here, we might have lost the checkpoint.”

“Y/n and I were happy to help out.”

“You know, you two would be almost unstoppable if you teamed up. You both are injured, but still took care of them wonderfully.”

You and Silver look at each other in surprise, but you look somewhat unsure while Silver has a rather happy look on his face.

“Hey, Y/n, you okay? Are your wounds still hurting?”

“Yeah... Sorry about that, Silver.”

“There’s no need to apologize, Y/n. It's not your fault.”

“We should all head back and call it a day for now, everyone.”

You, Silver, and the guards all head back to their homes and rest up.

“Hey, Y/n? Can I ask you something?”

“Huh? Sure, Silver. What is it?”

“I was wondering you know how that guard said we would be a lot more stronger if we teamed up, right?”

You nod.

“I was wondering... Maybe we could become a team. You and I would be able to do so much more.”

Silver has a very hopeful look in his eyes while saying this.

“I’ll... I'll think about it, Silver. I’m just not sure how I would do in a team.”

Silver looks somewhat concerned about your self-doubt.

“Okay, Y/n. I understand, but we did an awesome job when we teamed up to help those guards.”

Silver heads to bed after saying that leaving you to your thoughts.

I guess we did do a good job with helping those guards at the checkpoint and Silver seems like someone I can trust to and NGHH!

“Huh... Guess I should rest. My sides still hurt.”

~the next day~

You wake up and see Silver sitting next to you asleep with bloody hands. You look at you bandages on your side to see that they're new.

“Silver?”

Silver jolts awake from hearing you, “Y/n? how’re you feeling? Your wound reopened so I tried cleaning it and put a new bandage on.”

“It doesn’t hurt as much as it did yesterday so I’m feeling better. Thank you for helping, Silver.”

Silver gives a big smile and hugs you out of his joy from you thanking him.

“Haha, I’m glad I was able to help. I was worried when I saw your bandage completely covered in blood.”

You're left somewhat surprised by Silver hugging you, but you trust Silver enough to be okay with it so you pat him on the back.

“Uhh... S-Sorry about that, Y/n. I was just really worried. There was a lot of blood and your breathing slowed while I was cleaning the wound. I thought you wouldn’t make it.”

You see that Silver is starting to tear up.

“Silver, it’s okay, I’m fine now, aren’t I…?”

Your caring instincts make you place your forehead on Silver's.

“Don’t worry. I won’t leave you alone, alright? I’ll be here for you.”

You hug Silver and he quickly hugs you back. After a bit, he starts to calm down.

“Sorry, Y/n. I'm glad that your okay now. That’s all that matters. Thank you for cheering me up.”

“So... Have you made up your mind on us teaming up?”

“I’ve given it some thought, but I just need a bit more time before I have an answer.”

“Okay, Y/n. I understand. Hey, how about we how about we go to the Aurora forest? I’ve been there a couple of times and it’s a really nice place to relax.”

“The Aurora forest? I guess it wouldn’t hurt to go there, seeing that the monster and robot activity has died down for now.”

You and Silver head to the Aurora forest. Upon reaching the forest, Silver heads to the path way.

“Silver, where are we going?”

“Were heading to a secret spot of mine. I go here to relax when I need to relieve stress or feeling down. Not that I’m feeling that way. I just thought you’d like to see it.”

You follow Silver and after you reached the secret spot, you're left surprised to see a crystal clear pond with light coming from it and the plants around it left a rather calm and tranquil feeling in your chest.

“Wow, Silver... This place is wonderful. I feel so peaceful here.”

“I know, right? Honestly, you're the first person I brought here, so this is our little secret, okay?”

You can’t help but smile from seeing Silver giving you a big heart warming smile. You laugh a little out of happiness.

“Okay, okay, it’s our little secret, Silver. Our little secret.”

You see that Silver is left somewhat surprised by you smiling and laugh.

“Hey, I think that’s the first time I’ve seen you really happy, Y/n.”

“Well, you're a rather cheerful person, Silver. Not that many people are like that nowadays.”

After that, you both go to the pond and put your bare feet in the water.

“So, Silver, do you have any family?”

Silver stares at the pond with a sad look in his eyes.

“No... I never knew my parents. I was on my own from the very beginning... Had to survive on my own from when I was four at least, I think. What about you, Y/n?”

You look away from Silver and stare at the pond with a blank look in your eyes, almost as if you were dead.

“No. I don’t have any family. My older sister and younger brother were killed by a curse placed on us, but the curse didn’t affect me the way it did to everyone else, because the curse was placed on my mother when I was born. It ended up being a part of me completely and from that... I have dark powers and my body is much stronger than my parents'... They were fighting prodigies. My mother was killed by the dark husks of my sister and brother's dead bodies... The curse would bring them back to life with the sole purpose to kill or torment anyone else with the curse." "Eventually, my father lost his sanity from it. Then I had to kill my deceased family so they can be at peace... And kill my insane father........ After three years, I finally killed my father and my siblings. A year after that, I finally found my mother and defeated her… The worst part about each of their deaths was that they all died while I was holding them and they all smiled at me..." You take a deep breath and exhale slowly, "... And they all said to me that I am a truly kind hearted soul and that I still have a long road ahead, but I can do it. They believe in me and they love me. After that, they all disintegrated into nothing... But small specks of light and… and vanished.”

“So there you go. Now, you know about what happened to my family. I just wished I could have smiled back at them before they faded away.”

After saying that, you start to quietly cry and Silver, who also has tears trickling down his face, scoots next to you and hugs you to try to comfort you.

“I’m really sorry about everything that’s happened to you in your past, Y/n... I really am...”

You put one arm over Silver's shoulder and let your tears roll down your face.

“Thank you for listening, Silver... You're a good friend.”

“Umm, Y/n... I have something I want to tell you, but you can’t tell anyone else, please?”

You wipe your tears off and nod to Silvers request.

“Thank you, Y/n. I’m on a little quest, I guess, I could say to fix past events.”

Your left confused by Silver's quest and Silver puts both of his hands up telling you to let him finish.

“Well, I’m actually traveling back in time to where the Freedom Fighters era and helping them with certain events that lead to our present time."

You're left surprised by Silver's time travel journey and nod in understanding.

"Soon I plan on heading back to help Sonic and the others, so I was wondering if you could come along with me?”

You're surprised again by Silver's invitation to join him on his time traveling quest, which also helps with your decision.

“Silver, I put some more thought into teaming up with you and I’ve made my choice. This will also be my answer to joining you on your time-travel quest as well.”

You look at Silver dead in the eyes and say “I accept your request, Silver.”

“Really? You… You…”

Silver's quiet for a little before jumping in joy shouting "YEAH!" and hugs you shortly after.

“Thank you so much,. Y/n! We’ll be able to do so much now that we’re a team. Haha.”

You hug Silver back and after a little while, you both head back home and call it a day.

~few days later~

“Today’s the day," Silver said when you entered the kitchen.

“What do you mean?”

“Today’s the day that I would head to the past. Well, now it’s we, which will be great. I’ve become good friends with the Freedom Fighters. I’ll introduce you to them and the others.”

“I’m looking forward to it, Silver. So how do we head to the past, anyway?”

“Well, I’ve got a place to teleport to the past. We’ll head there and I’ll explain as we go.”

You and Silver head to the place where he teleports to the past at and he explains everything he’s done already and how the process works.

Once you arrive there, Silver begins the process high in the air, but after awhile a horde of robots and monsters start flooding the area.

“Silver, we’ve got company. How much longer?”
