Shadow-Chaos-Lovers

────── ∘◦ ⛤Outside POV⛤ ◦∘ ────── The next day could not come fast enough. There was an electricity in the air for everyone with anxiety and slight excitement. As soon as daylight arrived, everyone was awake. Tails was setting things up in the lab while Sonic and Silver prepared themselves. Silver pulled on his gloves before stepping out of the room where he was staying and walked into the main part of the home. He saw Sonic at the table, looking at the timeline paper that the team had laid out. Silver then noticed a few more things added to the timeline, so he walked over and peeked at it while Sonic ate his breakfast bagel. "I've just added a few major events that I think may have an impact on it..." Sonic explained as he used the large marker to tap out a few things. Silver's eyes scanned over the events Sonic had written down... "G.U.N raid on Ark 50 years ago" "Perfect Chaos Destroys Central City" "Angel Island fell into the ocean." "The moon was blown up by Ark's

────── ∘◦ ⛤Silver's POV⛤ ◦∘ ────── Surrounded by robotic corpses, he panted heavily. He had managed to rid the jungle of his robotic enemies, but he could feel his energy melting away. Drenched in sweat, he clambered up onto more ruins, casting glances around to ensure no other robots remained. "There..." he huffed while pushing through a few giant leaves obstructing his path. His sentiment was resolute; he wanted out of this jungle in which he had been lost for several hours. Moving meticulously, he eventually breaks through the jungle's thick flora. The sight that greeted him was a beautiful, sparkling ocean. As the cool ocean breeze hit him, he felt instant relief. Considering it was August, he appreciated the coolness. His gaze scanned the beach for a few moments, halting suddenly at the sight of a red object. The mysterious object was airborne, moving steadily in a single direction. Straining his eyes, he let out a subdued gasp. "Tails?" He quickly rushed farther away from

────── ∘◦ ⛤ Shadow's POV⛤ ◦∘ ────── Boots of soldiers were steadily running around him as he stood in front of his locker... He had barely any time to clean himself up from his recent fights and battles... His fur was still dirtied from the fiery hellscape of the future, the dried blood of his enemies and his own from his scuffle with Mephiles.. he had been through the wringer... He glanced at his reflection in the miniature mirror in his locker and sighed, shutting the locker door rather hard as he turned to leave. As he left the fitting room, G.U.N soldiers surrounded him, outfitted in the finest gear that the organization had to offer... They all saluted him as he strode past, not giving them a passing glance as he stepped out. Once out of the locker room, he strode to the heart of the G.U.N base, meeting up with him was his team of elite... Rouge, having managed to get herself cleaned up, assuming she took a shower here provided at the base... Omega restocked and reloaded with

────── ∘◦ ⛤ Sonic's POV ⛤ ◦∘ ────── Sonic's forehead wrinkled as he tightened his grip on her wrist. His other hand ran steadily down the sides of the corridor they were quickly running down. It seemed to stretch on endlessly. The smell of machinery overheating was intense as they ran side by side. Sonic's sneakers scraped against the steel floor as he glanced over his shoulder to check on Sabrina, who wore a worried expression on her face. He was determined to get her out no matter what. He wore a serious expression as he abruptly stopped, causing her to unintentionally bump into him as she hadn't expected him to halt. She appeared confused when he released her wrist, only to feel him lift her in a bridal style and begin running. The alarm was blaring. She squinted a little, actively avoiding the speaker as they ran underneath it. Her eyes darted up to glance at Sonic's face. She was unsure of what to say. “Thank you” was on her mind, but not the right time yet.

────── ∘◦ ⛤ Outside POV ⛤ ◦∘ ────── He was consumed with rage... Mephiles' vision was red as he navigated through trees twisted and tainted by dark magic... His fury was so great that he lost control... His objective was slipping from his grasp, filling him with a nauseating desire for revenge. His crystallized form was beginning to fade as he ventured further into the forest... The icy, foreboding air embraced the Prince as he returned home. However, his homecoming elicited no joy in him. Currently, he was the mightiest among the Darks... He was aware of it and should not have suffered defeat at the hands of a pitiful pretense of an "ultimate lifeform" and a robot... He had dedicated innumerable centuries to meticulous planning... He would not let mere mortals rob him of his reward... One way or another, she was returning to him. He raised a shaking hand, his crystal-like claws sank into a nearby tree for support as he winced in pain. The crick in his neck from the earlier injury

────── ∘◦ ⛤Sonic's POV⛤ ◦∘ ────── Sonic's balled-up fist fell to his side as he glanced over at his two friends who both looked worn and tired. The events of time travel and facing an apocalyptic future weren't exactly a walk in the park. The blue hero could only give a small smile before he clicked his tongue. "You two go ahead and get some rest, I'll go on ahead and try to find Sabrina." "What?" Tails asked in disbelief, his eyes wide as he stared at his best friend, hardly believing what he was saying. "You need backup, Sonic." "No," Sonic firmly states, raising a finger. "I can't ask you both to risk everything for me. We know, thanks to the papers at the agency in the future, that Sabrina will not survive if I don't reach her. I cannot possibly ask you two to risk your lives. Earlier, I realized that we are dangerously close to death, and I do not want to take any more chances." He then lifts one of his fists toward the yellow fox and red echidna. "You guys are like my
