"But I'm trained too." Shadow defended himself. "And I was trying to be brave like you and mom." The young hedgehog said.

Levi shook his head. "I'm sorry. I can't allow you to continue on with us," he said. He looked at Mei. "Do you have anyone who can watch over children?" he asked. "I can," a female voice said. The group of freedom fighters parted to reveal a young, beautiful, lithe-bodied female panda. "I am Jing King, and I can watch over your son and the other youngsters, your majesty," she said.

"Come on, Charmy and Saffron are younger than I am!" Shadow said. "Hey, leave us out of this!" Charmy said, annoyed at their age's being brought in to this.

Jing King frowned. "I will watch over you until this is over. There's nothing you can say about it," she said.

"That doesn't mean I have to like it." Shadow pouted.

Meanwhile...

"It was they're daughter they love, not you." The Iron queen said to Silver, who was kneeling before her. "You, they tossed aside like garbage. They were going to let you die. It was I, The Iron queen who saved you. You remember right?" She asked. "I remember my queen" he said.

Jing King smiled. "We all have to go through things we don't like," she said, placing a paw on Shadow's shoulder. In their fortress, the Iron King glared at Silver. "And I trust that you know the penalty for failure," the gigantic ox said with a fearsome snort.

"I will kill them!" He said, as he rose to his feet. "Patience my warrior, you will have your chance for vengeance." She smiled.

"So am I grounded too?" Shadow asked.

The Iron King smiled. "You have been trained well, young one. Do not waste your talent," he warned. Levi shook his head. "No. The shame you felt was punishment enough. Just never do anything like this again," he said.

The next morning.

King Levi and queen Aleena were discussing logistics with Mei, when an alarm went off.

Knuckles, chaotix, tails and the others rushed towards Jin's station. "It's Silver, he's back. He's attacking one of our patrols." He said. "Where's Chuck and Hana?" Vector asked. "We don't know?" Jin said. "You mean Uncle chuck and Aunt Hana left without telling anyone where they went?" Shadow asked. "That's not like them." Knuckles said, everyone failed to notice Amy had slipped away.

"What do we do, we can't attack Silver." Saffron said. "But he'll kill those people!" Espio said. "This is an emergency, we have to do something." Mighty said. "Wait, where's Amy?" Ray Asked. Knuckle's eyes widened. "She's going after him, come on!" He said.

Silver converted his ax-like into a blaster like weapon as he fired it at a rat Mobian, but Amy used her hammer to block it. "You, after all these years I finally get to pay you back sister." He said as they started to fight, and Amy's normal strategy of powering on through was not working. "No Brother of mine could be as evil as you!" She said. "Your right, unless his parents let him fall to save his young sister." He said, kicking her in the stomach. "Silver, Mom and Dad didn't let you fall, there was nothing they could do!" She said, defending her parents. "But you the one that survived that night on the cliff!" He said. "But now it's over Silver." Amy stated. Silver glared at her as he took aim. "It's over for you." He said.

Rather than attack, Amy " Seethed" her hammer. "They loved you, you wanted grow up to be scientists just like them." Amy said. "Be quit!" he warned. "What's wrong, don't you remember?" She pleaded. " I.." He started. "Silver, no!" Knuckles pleaded, running towards them. Silver knocked Amy down and ran away.

Sonic had rushed out to Amy's side. He held his cousin close. "Amy, are you all right?" he asked before looking up to see Silver running away. "Get back here!" he called out.
