Hello all! I can't tell you just how excited I am to finally start writing this! I've been planning on it for a while... But I just, for the life of me, couldn't get the kinks out of the storyline! XD Well, now I have, and I think (And by "think" I mean "hope to God"...) that you're going to enjoy it!

Now, about this story... Unlike my first one, this wasn't influenced by a fanfic I've previously read. That is the main reason why I'm so excited, because this is my own idea from the beginning! Now, that's not to say a story with a similar plot line hasn't been written... That's ludicrous... Of course there has been! Eh... I'm rambling on too much XP

Also, this story will probably be very confusing for the first few chapters. So, please, bear with me! I assure you that all will be explained!

This story is completely separate from any Sonic game (especially Sonic 06...) so it may seem completely inaccurate if you were to compare.

Age of characters (not that it applies much to the storyline anyways...): Eh... I dunno... Mid-twenties? Some a bit younger... Erg... I'll work all that out later...

Hmm... Well, I think that does it for now! I leave you with my second fanfic, Searching For The Light!

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Silver, Blaze, or any other characters mentioned in this story. They all, of course, belong to SEGA.

Searching For The Light

A Silvaze Fanfic

Chapter 1 - How It All Began

Our story begins with the sight of a small crater, in the middle of a once peaceful city. In this city, there is nothing but fire and crumbling buildings. Total destruction and chaos has occurred, in every definition of the two words. There were no screams of dying individuals, as most of the population had already been exterminated. Hell. Absolute, unjustified hell is the only way to describe this scene.

Inside the small crater, we find three figures. The first is identified as a grey hedgehog by the name of Silver. Kneeling on the ground, and with tears streaming down his face, he holds the second figure in his arms, a lavender cat by the name of Blaze. The third figure, whom we will classify as the antagonist, is made of blue metal, meant upon creation to resemble a hedgehog. This robot stands six feet away from the first two figures, its glowing red eyes staring at them in ultimate triumph. Another building collapses in the background of it all.

Silver looked down at Blaze's lifeless body, noticing that the blood flowing from her many gashes had stopped. More tears dripped from his chin, and he now looked up to the enemy.

"You bastard!" Silver screamed, with all his might. He now noticed all of his own cuts, which were all over his body as well and spilling the red, thick liquid by the second. He turned and leaned to his right, away from Blaze, and coughed up even more blood. Silver regrouped himself, and screamed again. "How could you?!"

The hedgehog-like robot stood for a moment. "Puny mortal..." Its metallic voice called back. "You act as if I'm supposed to care about your little friend..."

Tears still ran down both of Silver's cheeks as he screamed once more, "You're nothing but a coward!"

"You might want to watch your mouth, you so-called 'hero'..." The robot said, "For I can and will finish you off in a nanosecond."

Silver shivered now as he sobbed, looking down at Blaze's body again. "Do with me what you want..." He looked up, angrily. "But just know this... I..." Silver looked down to Blaze again, "We..." More tears dripped from his eyes as he looked to the robot once more, "Will always have something that you won't... A soul. You will never be anything but a walking hunk of metal. You're nothing but a worthless, low-down, piece of shit, and you know it."

The blue robot paused, and then took a slow step towards Silver. "I'm afraid..." It raised its right hand, "That I'm going to enjoy this thoroughly."

Suddenly, the palm of the robot's hand opened up, revealing a purple emerald.

"Chaos control!"

A bright light emitted from the robot's hand, and Silver braced for the worst. With every ounce of strength he had left, Silver raised his own right hand, letting Blaze's lower half touch the ground. He aimed his telekinetic powers, weakened significantly by the lack of energy he had, at the light, not necessarily expecting any result. However, there was a result, as it temporarily stalled whatever was about to happen. Silver noticed this, so he continued to push, as did the robot. They stayed in this tense deadlock for a whole minute, Silver not letting up as he began to scream. Silver, now losing whatever strength he had left, opened his eyes slightly, looking at Blaze.

"So... This is how it all ends..." He thought, clutching Blaze's body with his free hand.

Just then, the light began to spread, and moments later consumed Silver and everything around him. Silver's screams were drowned out by the 'boom!' of the blast, and now everything turned white.

Silver groaned as he awoke on his back, looking upwards at a blue sky and the branches of many trees around him.

"What the..." He whispered to himself. Silver sat up, and took a look at all of his surroundings.

"Everything's... Normal? What the hell happened?" Silver thought. He looked at his arms, and all of his wounds were gone. He felt his face for the gash he had received across the right side of his muzzle. Nothing. Not even a trace of blood. Now, Silver was confused, and almost in a state of panic, not knowing where he was.

Silver looked around more, searching for answers, and finally stood up a few minutes later. He spotted a teenage hedgehog jogging nearby.

"Excuse me, miss?" Silver called. "Might I ask you what year it is?"

The hedgehog replied as she trotted past him, "Uh... Two-thousand twelve..." She said, convinced that Silver was surely retarded.

Silver's eyes widened as the young hedgehog went off into the distance.

"Oh... My... God..."

And that'll be it for the (very short...) opening chapter! I... Uh... Hope it's okay... But it's 1 AM... I'm tired as hell... So I just did a general spellcheck to "proofread" this! Lolz... I'll get back to this later...

Once again, it may be a bit confusing at the moment... But please, by all means, hang with me! ONWARD TO CHAPTAH TWO!

Thanks for reading! Love you all!
