Flash decided to take no notice of the light he saw so as not to worry anyone. Right now was a time to relax, the easy part of the job. Flash went back in to Marcia’s room to see how she was coping. She was playing her acoustic guitar, which was pink and had a nice sound to it. Marcia was always good on the guitar.

That’s some sweet music you have there.

*a little startled* Er..thanks. I thought about making a song for Shadow, but I don’t know if he’ll appreciate it.

Of course he will, you’re the one that’s playing it.

He joined Marcia in her room while the others were all circled around Tails and his sidekicks.

S.M.I.D.S.Y: We figured that we should put a heat tracking device on the cameras

Mischief: Yeah, because then we can tell which one’s Silver and which one’s Nazo

Souls have no heat, so that’s how we can tell.

Everyone: 0_o

What?

Well, we’re kind of freaked out at your ability to read each-others mind.

Mischief: Great minds think alike Sonic

Sonic couldn’t tell if Mischief was insulting him or just being honest, but then he noticed Speed walking towards the fridge. He forgot about showing Speeds’ pendant to Faith, which was the main reason he wanted to talk to her in the 1st place.

As Sonic walked towards Faiths’ room, he wondered what the residents of this shelter were going to do for food and supplies. Maybe Tails had something up his sleeve, his always did nowadays.

Hey Faith

Oh no, not again! T_T

0_o No I wanted to show you something.

Oh right...sorry ^-^

*shows Faith the pendant* This is a picture of Speeds’ parents

Strange, the father looks like you.

Exactly, I don’t remember getting intimate with anyone, especially you.

0_o

No offence ^-^

Well Eggman captured me once and took DNA samples from me, and Eggman has always had a DNA sample from you.

*Note=Dr Eggman took DNA samples from Sonic in the comics*

So, Eggman was creating artificial life-forms?

Yes, and he was hoping they would all obey him, and some still do, but after about 4 years of creation, most of the life-forms changed and now live here.

So, do you think that Speed is a spawn of us?

Maybe, you can only use someones’ DNA once, unless Eggman found a way to duplicate it, which he probably has.

After thanking Faith for her help. Sonic couldn’t quite believe he had a son. He decided to visit Speed and tell him who his parents were.

Hey Speed, is there anything in fridge?

Yeah it’s pretty full, why do you want something?

No, I was just thinking about something *daydreams*

Erm..0_o *starts to walk off*

Wait Speed, here’s your necklace back, I’ve got something to tell you.

Oh? *puzzled*

Faith told me that Eggman took DNA samples of me and her, and....Eggman used that DNA to create you. *worried expression*

So you’re saying that I’m just an artificial copy?

Im afraid so. I’m sorry

It’s ok

0_o Really?

OF COURSE NOT! *slaps Sonic*

Speed ran to his room, bursting into tears along the way. Sonic knew that it wouldn’t be an easy thing to take in, and decided to leave his alone for the minute.

Knuckles was talking to his family about what they had discovered.

Well that’s something you don’t hear every day.

What are you going to do dad?

Well, I’m just a soldier, I wait for the orders.

That’s unlike you

Well Rouge, times change. And this time we can’t do anything about it but wait for Nazo to come to us.

Dad, what if it....kills you?

*little shocked* That’s not gonna happen son, your dad’s a fighter. Now come on let’s play medal of honour ^-^

You forgot to mention you’re big headed

T_T

Everybody was doing something to take their mind off of Nazo, except for Sonic who was now lying on the couch. He didn’t want to be here anymore.

*appears* I know its hard Sonic, but soon this will all be over.

But what about Eggman? Is he always going to try to kill me?

Hmm, sounds like you could do with some action. I noticed you’re not the type that likes to be sitting down all the time. Let’s go to Eggmans’ and defeat as much as we can for today. That way you don’t have to worry about him any more.

Ok, let’s go.

Sonic had got used to fact that Silver could read anyone’s mind. And to be working with him would be interesting. In fact it was strange how fast time flied now.

Soon would come a very tense night.
