Once Kneecaps and Tikal finished preparing dinner sat on the table to wait for Knuckles got home. While waiting they decided to start a conversation to be entertained for a while.

"Then Tikal, which seemed like living here in these two days" asked Kneecaps.

"I felt very good about being here. Knuckles and you have made me feel like part of their family" the orange echidna said as she blushed as she remembered the first thing mentioned.

"You're probably going to be part of the family in the near future if my hunches are successful" he said quietly.

"Did you say something?" She asked a little confused.

"I did not say anything important. Forget it".

"Kneecaps, one thing I want to ask".

"What?".

"I want to know what Knuckles is dedicated in its efforts to guard. I would be interested to know what is responsible to protect".

"Well, he is responsible for protecting all inhabitants of the kingdom in a way and also protects a giant emerald green called Master Emerald".

"Upon hearing that description Tikal remembered the dream and then asked "How long Knuckles cares the Master Emerald?".

"He started to take care of it today. His daughter Lara-Su was the current guardian until he died last week at the disaster I told you today. Aside from that; as I told my mother, my brother was in charge of caring since Locke, his father died. This is a duty that is passed from father to son".

"The ancestors of Knuckles were also guardians?".

"Yes. The first ancestor of my brother who took over as guardian named Edmund and it was over 400 years ago. All his descendants have had that position to date".

"And because you do not have put in charge of that".

"Because I am not a descendant of Edmund. I am brother Knuckles by the mother, the father's family is that it is descended from him".

"I see. Tell me a little more about the Master Emerald".

"That is not going to be able, and do not know much about it or what you can and can not do".

In that last part Kneecaps lied, he knew everything concerning the Master Emerald as Knuckles had told him several years ago, but could not tell her anything like that because if I told the truth could be confused enough. It was not yet time to tell the truth. They had to go slowly with the help you remember, considering the bad things that she lived in the past.

"But those who do know are my brother and the other members of the Brotherhood of the Guardians".

"What is the Brotherhood of the Guardians?".

"This group is comprised of my brother and his ancestors who have been the guardians of the Master Emerald, which are still alive".

"And what do you call them?".

"They are called Spectre, Sojourner and Sabre. The latter is the grandfather of Knuckles".

"That's surprising. I did not think much echidnas guardians live".

"She was even more surprised when he discovers her true age" Kneecaps himself stated in his mind.

"Kneecaps, I need to tell you something about a dream I had".

"Okay, tell me. You have my full attention".

"I dreamed twice with huge emerald green is on an altar, there are several blue creatures flying around and remember a voice say. The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is the power enriched the heart do not know what all that means. You know something about it?".

Hearing this Kneecaps was speechless; Tikal had begun to remember something but she had no awareness of what it was. Finally he reacted and lied "I know nothing about that. But I found it very curious that with the Master Emerald will sound even without knowing it".

"When it comes, I'll ask Knuckles if he knows anything about this that I'm dreaming".

"Do not worry, I'll ask. But after we finish dinner".

Knuckles suddenly entered the room, startling the two echidnas. He had entered the house quietly. Seeing greeted Kneecaps and Tikal. This both smiled as he sat at the table for dinner with them.

Half an hour later while Tikal was taking a bath, Kneecaps told him to Knuckles the conversation he had had with the orange echidna before he arrived.

"So you think brother. We should start talking about his past or that" kneecaps said.

"I think that would be best. In one of these days I'll take you to where the Master Emerald to show it is and if you do not remember anything to see her, tell her I'll take care of everything but slowly" Knuckles said.

"I can go with? I became good friends with her and want to be there to help you support depending on the reaction you have to know your past".

"Okay. Can you come. I'll let you know the day we go to find you with us here and all three go together".

...

In the catacombs of the ruins of Castle of Mobius; Jacques and Belle were looking for clues about thieves who had stolen the Anarchy Beryl Bomb and robot E-107 Theta. There were alone exploration because they were with Geoffrey, Hershey, Mighty and Ray.

To all wondering why he had not footprints to guide them to those responsible. They used the latest technology but only they could find traces around the perimeter where was the castle, there was no more outside that perimeter. So it would be very difficult to find.

They wondered who was as cunning as to steal such apparatus and leave no clue where to start looking for them. That was illogical.

They were about to give up and go home when suddenly there was a white light that spread all over the place. Jacques, Belle, Geoffrey, Hershey, Mighty and Ray had to cover his eyes because of the bright light.

When this faded, everyone was surprised to see the being who appeared before them. It was a hedgehog silver and yellow eyes, which he held in his hands about seven little gems of various colors. He was frowning in which no emotion is not reflected.

"Silver" said D'Coolette brothers surprised to see him.

The silver hedgehog stared at them both a little surprised and said "Who are you and where do know me? Do not remember seeing before".

Jacques and Belle were surprised to see that he did not remember.

"I am Jacques and she is my sister Belle. We do not remember" said the yellow coyote.

"We met last year when we had our first mission as Freedom Fighters" said the brown rabbit.

"You two must be confusing me with someone else. I have not yet born in this year and I have never traveled through time".

"We are sure it was you" said the two brothers.

"Looking back on it I saw in a newspaper a year ago" Mighty said to see a little better, as he made a sign to Ray.

Ray seeing the sign removed a newspaper clipping from his vest pocket in which there was a picture of silver hedgehog and showed them all while saying "Is he, no doubt".

Silver looked at the picture and saw that it was himself, then remembered something he had learned a few years ago and told everyone "That's me. But that's my version of an alternate universe. That's why I remember nothing, since I am not the same as you knew".

"Now that makes sense. Hershey and I heard that there are many universes besides this" Geoffrey said.

"And as we have understood this Mobius is also parallel. The original is known as Mobius Prime. The Silver that appeared here last year must have come from that universe" Hershey said.

"That's very interesting. Now if you'll excuse me, I've lost a lot of time and I have yet to find those who caused that my future was destroyed" Silver said, frowning.

"What? What will happen in the future?" Ray asked.

"Some people used the Anarchy Beryl Bomb, the E-107 robot Theta and Chaos to destroy much of the planet. Now I have to go" said then turn around with the intention to leave.

"Wait, do not go" Hershey said.

"Why should I stay? Do not you see that I have a future to save" said pausing.

"We want to help you avoid that future. We are looking for the same people you" Mighty said.

"What if forms a team with us and so together we can find them" Geoffrey said.

"Sorry, but this is my mission. So do not intrude on my way" Silver said.

"We understand that it is your mission, but it is our business and we are talking about the future of the planet" said the skunk and cat.

"Please join us and we could save the future together" the armadillo and flying squirrel said.

"I told them not to meddle, now leave me alone and get out" said the silver hedgehog.

"We're not leaving here, we all want to help" the coyote and rabbit said.

Silver lost patience, raised one arm and turquoise aura enveloped Jacques, Belle, Geoffrey, Hershey, Mighty and Ray; which were stiff in the air, everybody tried to move without success.

"I hate to leave them like that, but now I have to go" Silver said and left the place after that quickly.

A few seconds later the aura that surrounded the six disappeared. Everyone rushed to reach the silver hedgehog, but when they came out of the catacombs were surprised to see that this was no longer anywhere.

"Damn, got away" said the skunk.

"We'll have to split up to find" said the rabbit.

"If that's the case, everyone take one of these" said the armadillo as he pulled some communicators shaped clock.

"Good thinking. So if one of us finds may report it to others" said the coyote.

Each took his communicator, they put them on their wrists and prepared to seek the hedgehog silver everywhere. Do not stop until they find him, though they took all night.

...

Vector, Espio and Charmy were at the base of Team Chaotix. The three were training at the time. In the last year they had not taken many important missions; but now had to be more alert as they may be helpful for Freedom Fighters in case things got out a little control in Kingdom of Acorn.

Considering that the Freedom Fighters were only 3 members alive, while Team Chaotix were still six (although Knuckles, Mighty and Ray were a little inactive at the time)

The crocodile, the chameleon and the bee were training with pistols that had gotten the day before when they arrested the thieves. Despite that had used a risk, was not a bad idea to practice with them a bit if an identical emergency arose.

The three were inside a virtual reality machine and each with their weapons (Vector had two, had two Espio, Charmy had one) pretended they were in a situation similar to the previous day hostage.

But this time they did not commit the error of each on their own, because that would almost cost them their lives yesterday if not for the quick help from Sonia. In the end everything went well in the simulation.

"This time went better than I expected" said the crocodile.

"Yes. And although it was a simulation it was really hard" said the bee.

"Better to rest for today. It's too late" said the chameleon.

The other two nodded while tired sigh.

The three began to unload their weapons carefully. Vector and Espio had no problem with this; but on the side of Charmy was another story.

"Here, let me help you" said the chameleon.

"No, I can only" the bee said.

"If you do not know let me help you, remember it is a dangerous weapon".

"Do not worry. Not going to happen".

"Okay, but be careful".

As expected, care was not what had bee and by your error the trigger of his gun was locked and it began to skyrocket own without any control. There was a hail of bullets everywhere and all three had to be agile to not get hurt. But unfortunately one of them was hit four in the right arm and fell instantly to the ground.

When the gun stopped firing Espio and Charmy approached Vector, who was unconscious for all the blood he had lost.

"This is my fault. I should have listened to you" said the bee feeling very sad.

"We have no time for this. Let us call an ambulance quickly" said the chameleon.

Charmy brought Espio the phone and dialed the emergency number quickly. After that they tried to awaken Vector, but did not react.

After about five minutes the ambulance arrived. The paramedics took the pulse of the crocodile, sighed when he saw that he was still alive. They brought a stretcher in which he was placed, they climbed into the ambulance (the chameleon and the bee went with them) and after that took him to the hospital. Everyone expected that when they came out not too late.
