It was a rare occasion that he got to see his daughter sleeping, usually she’d have run him into a state of collapse by now. When she was still the girl was actually rather cute. “I should be grateful you look like your mother.” The young father laughed at his sleeping child, whose soft grey fur was nothing like his own and continued, “Of course the brown hair is all me but, then again, we do look great with it.” The thick, bushy tail the girl also took from her father twitched softly as she slept on, every shallow breath ruffled the little patch of brown fur on her chest. When they were open the young fox̵

(Silver's POV) Shadow had picked up the presence of the chaos emeralds and somehow became a driving force like no other. He didn't even laugh when he saw Sonic racing a guy who's head looked like a shark on a water bike. Even when he saw Sonic's fear his eyes remained fixed on the emerald. "I don't like this new Shadow" I confessed to Cream that night "he scares me" "I thought he already did that" she giggled but not unkindly. I blushed slightly "yeah but now he just seems so driven and unattached" Cream sighed sadly "Shadow gets like that sometimes... it's not his fault really it's just the way he was created. He really is the Ulti

Zach and Zara were now sitting at the judges table; Sierra was also there sitting on Zach's knee. "So Zach how was the dancing contest?" Zara asked, they were waiting for the final member of the judging panel so they could start the contest. "It was fun" Zach muttered. "Hey guys!" Manic called as he slid into the third seat "'fraid I'm filling in, your Dad's a bit busy!" With Sonic.... "Amy stay away! You've done enough" "I already said I was sorry Sonic!" she snapped pulling out her hammer "What more do you want?" "Amy you broke my leg!" "Stop exaggerating Tails said you only bruised it!" "Amy can we at least get out the cloak ro

Zara stretched leisurely back on the sand as she heard Zach and Jo fling down towels and bags as they raced towards the sea with Nano taking more care not to disturb anyone as he followed. Further up the beach she heard Amy, Tails, Cream and her dad talking about the good old days.  Briefly a shadow hung overhead as Butter settled herself on the sand and watched her brother try his hand at surfing. The trip to the beach had fallen on a pleasantly warm day and now the rays of the midday sun caught on the sea's surface making it shimmer and sparkle. Whispers of a breeze made the heat bearable and made the water a luxury not a necessary which wa

Purple had always been a colour associated with the royals but that wasn’t how he knew she was a noble. The bright string of ruby stones on the silver chain, a rather morbid gesture of mockery by those in the upper classes lucky enough to survive the uprisings was. It was a bitter mirror of the thick, crimson blood; considered by the family to be worth more than the string of jewels around the girl’s neck due to its pedigree, which had been spilt in the twenty years of war.  Her delicate fingers in their white kid gloves constantly reached for the chain, pulling and adjusting. His gold eyes narrowed; it was new then, a gift for a

Some of his… friends, especially his wife, called him scary.  Sweden didn't quite understand that; if anything it was Tino who was the scary one. As if to reaffirm his thoughts a loud crash sounded from downstairs and frantic cries of "Hana! Hanatamago!" could be heard.  Many thought that the small Finnish man who acted as Santa was sweet, innocent and shy which was, for the most part, correct however Finland had a dark streak within him. Flinching as the cupboard door was pushed open, the nation relaxed as he registered the trembling form of his adopted son Sealand. "What's wrong with Mum?" the micro nation muttered as he cuddled up to

Rouge smiled as she landed silently on her feet; the thrill of what she was doing caused her heat to beat faster as she pocketed her prize and leapt from the top of the building. She waited until the last second to open her wings and glide gently into the shadowy side street so she could further admire her new treasure. "Impressive" someone muttered. Rouge glanced up from the treasure to find a pair of ruby red eyes resting on her. The owner was almost invisible in the darkened street, just a tan muzzle and red streaks leaning again the wall. "Do GUN know about you little hobby?" he asked with a grin. Rouge smiled "they don't care wha

  The Emeralds had always rejuvenated him, to touch even one brought a warm glow and an end to his pain.   He had spoken to Sonic on the matter but the hedgehog’s only response had been, “Well yeah that’s part of the energy boost from going super.”   Even the Guardian, Knuckles, didn’t seem to have the same connection to the sacred stones as the Ultimate Lifeform.   It was strange and yet ever since he had first felt the Emerald’s comfort upon he reawakening the ebony hedgehog had made a point of keeping one close and holding it aloft, close to his chest, whenever he truly needed its power. Everyone had a r

  The strong frame of the ebony furred hedgehog paced back and forth, the ruby eyes glancing up at the castle walls occasionally.   “Easy Lancelot,” Gawain laughed at the frustrated knight, “we’ll all be leaving soon.”   With a cold smirk, only visible because of the knight’s uplifted visor, Lancelot finally stilled, “I wish you luck with the King.”   “We’re off to finish of that dragon… and I think Sir Sonic has caused all the trouble he can there.” The echidna was leaning against a nearby tree.   Suddenly a new voice broke through the morning air, “Hey Gawain, Lan

There are comfortable silences, this wasn’t one of them. The red-yellow furred wolf dog frowned and his gold eyes were filled with concern. “This is normal?” From where he reclined next to his younger brother the other wolf dog laughed, his gold and amber fur flickering wildly in the fire light, “Unfortunately.” Isaac frowned and the dark brown patch around his right eye, one of the easiest ways to distinguish the two brothers, served to emphasis the horror on his features, “And this is what you give me for a nephew?!” Absently Scout stretched back, careful not to dislodge the small squirrel using

Power: healing Age: 6   “Nano you need to be careful!” Butter frowned as she stared at the dark bruising on her brother’s arms. “Sorry.” Nano’s brown eyes were fixed on the ground.   Butter smiled softly and lifted her brother’s chin, “Don’t be sorry. One day you’ll be a great help to Zach on his adventures… just remember you don’t have to be as fast as he is.”   “Dad kept up with Sonic…” Nano’s voice was soft.   Gently Butter placed a hand over Nano’s wounds and warmth passed between them, her blue eyes shone as she watched the dark

  Throughout the streets Shadow caught glimpses of the feral human mob; they were burning posters and pictures of him, some were gathered in large groups listening to a speaker, all were armed. The hedgehog was grateful for his speed as he crept from building to building; the only clue to his destination was a tight pulling at his chest. His maker calling him home?  Or just his natural ability to sense power sources? Shadow wasn’t surprised to see his route taking him out of the city and towards the misty wilds of Mystic Ruins; the thick fog would render G.U.N’s soldiers helpless. It would also conceal any Black Arms present; th
