==Synopsis==
The clock tower rang 12 times throughout Soleanna New City, signaling noon. Cars and taxi's lined the streets, returning students and tourist to the city. Shadow the Hedgehog was looking for one taxi in particular the one from Central City. He finally found it, but to his surprise, it wasn't Amy Rose who stepped out.
"Hey, you're not Amy." Shadow said.
"Not last time I checked, Faker." Sonic the Hedgehog replied.
"Did you see Amy, then?" Shadow asked.
"What?" Sonic replied.
"At the train station?" Shadow prodded.
"Oh, uh no.How was your break?" Sonic replied, changing the subject.
"Good. Rouge and I helped a rogue robot, Omega join G.U.N." Shadow said.
"That's cool." Sonic said. 
Rouge the Bat and Knuckles the Echidna saw each other. They ran, and hugged.
"Hey, Knucklehead!" Rouge exclaimed. "How's that Master Emerald?"
"It's just fine Batgirl. No thieves yet." Knuckles replied, winking.
"Hey, Knux, Rouge!" Sonic said. He and Shadow walked to them.
"How was your break?" Sonic asked.
"Oh, it was awful, wasn't it Knuckles? You just having to stand guard over the Master Emerald every night and day!" Rouge said.
"Well, I did take a break from my duties for a little bit." Knuckles said, embarrassed. Silver the Hedgehog walked over to them.
Blaze the Cat was watching from the side of a building, but got flustered when Silver was there.
"What are you doing?" Miles Prower, more commonly known as Tails, asked.
"I'm just chillin'."Blaze replied.
"Don't even try getting all street, Blaze." Tails said. He flew over to the group.
"Blaze? Is that you?! Crikey!" a girl said. She looked about ten, the same age as Cream the Rabbit.
"What do you want Marine?" Blaze asked.
"Oh-my-gosh-oh-my-s\gosh-oh-my-gosh!" Marine exclaimed."I'm so glad you're here, mate! 'Twould've been awful startin' a new school without me best mate."
"What house do you live in?" Blaze asked.
"I live in Gaia House." Marine said.
"Well, come with me. I'll take you to E-101 Beta. He'll show you were to go." Blaze said.
"Thanks, mate!" Marine exclaimed. The two walked off.
Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, Silver, and Rouge entered Iblis House.
"Hi! Hi!" Cream the Rabbit and Shade the Echidna exclaimed. They ran down the stairs, and hugged everybody. Well, most everybody. Shade just smiled at Knuckles. After all, they had broken up last term. Cream kissed Tails on the cheek.
"How've you been?" Cream asked.
"Great. But, I missed you." Tails said.
Knuckles, Shade, Rouge, and Silver walked into the kitchen. The four locked hands.
"Hey, where's Blaze?" Cream asked.
"Someone mention my name?" Blaze asked.
"Hi!" they all said.
"We're still a group, right?" Cream asked.
"Completely." Blaze said.
"Definitely." Tails said.
"Yeah.." Shadow said.
"Uh huh." Sonic said.
Eggman walked up the stairs out of the cellar.
"What are you all doing in here? This is a hallway, not a meeting room!" Eggman exclaimed, ushering them out.
"Same old Eggman." Sonic chuckled.
"Hey, Cream, have you heard from Amy?" Shadow asked. Sonic hurried off into his room.
"No, I haven't. It's a bit rude actually." Cream said.
"Hey, I heard you went to the Central City library. Was it cool?" Shade asked.
"It was amazing! They said I had a real gift for finding information." Cream said.
Rouge walked over to Blaze. 
"So, how was your trip to Silver's future?" Rouge asked. "What did you do? Who'd you see? Did the two of you bond like superglue, or trade insults?" 
Blaze wouldn't reply directly. Silver sat down in the chair.
"Oh my God! No way! You two broke up?!" Shade exclaimed.
"Yeah, we did." Silver said.
"Shut up!" Rouge exclaimed.
"Hey, where'd Sonic go?" Knuckles asked.
Sonic was searching frantically through his luggage.
"Come on, where is it?" Sonic asked himself. "Jacket!" He went to open his closet. Sonic thought he saw a red orb of light appear in the mirror. Suddenly, he found himself in a hospital room.
"Sally. You must go to Soleanna to attend school and live in Iblis House. It's all been arranged." A man said. He was coughing uncontrollably.
"What?" a girl asked. She was a squirrel, about Sonic's age. She must've been 'Sally'.
"Shh." the man said.He took a key out of his pocket. "Take this. A great danger is about to be unleashed."
"Danger?" Sally asked.
"You must stop it. I am growing..too old...to sick. My paralysis from the Void will return soon. The burden now falls on you. I am sorry Sally." he told her.
"Daddy, what is this key for? What is it that I must do?" Sally asked.
"You must stop it, Sally." the man said. White light enveloped Sonic's vision, and he was back in his room. Tails walked in.
"Sonic what is it?" Tails asked.
"I think I just had a...day-mare." Sonic replied.
Eggman was in his office, flipping through a diary. "My grandfather's destiny shall be fulfilled through me. The day he was waiting for is almost upon us, Orbot and Cubot. The day the Great Secret will be revealed to us."
"He was in our bedroom, hiding." Tails said.
"I wasn't hiding!" Sonic exclaimed.
E-101 Beta walked in with Vanilla.
"I...have...several...announcements..to make." Beta said. "Vanilla...is back..as..house-mouther....and...there's.. some.. bad news."
"Mom, you don't look so good. What is it?" Cream asked.
"I'm afraid Beta's just told me that...Amy's not coming back to Soleanna." Vanilla said.
"No!" everyone exclaimed. "Why? She wouldn't just not tell us! I can't believe this."
"I'm sorry everyone. That's all Beta can say at the moment." Vanilla said.
Eggman and Beta were in his office.
"I am not sorry to see the back of Amy Rose." Eggman said.
"Yes...hedgehogs...are...troublesome." Beta replied.
On the stairway,  Knuckles was trying to pull all of Rouge's luggage upstairs.
"Way to go Knucklehead!" Shade yelled, all of Rouge's clothes falling on her.
"What is going on out there?!" Eggman asked, going outside.
Beta saw Eggman's diary, and flipped to the bookmarked page.
"Ah..ha! He..will...want..to..know." Beta said. Eggman came back inside.
"And what else is your news, Beta?" Eggman asked.
"A...new...girl...is...staying..in...Iblis...House." Beta told him.
"Great! Just great!" Eggman cried in anger.
"At...least...she...won't be...staying..in..the cellar." Beta said. "Goodbye."
Back in the lounge, Shadow, Sonic, Cream, Tails, Rouge, and Blaze were talking.
"I can't believe she just wouldn't come without saying anything..." Shadow said.
"Did she say anything to anyone?!" Rouge asked.
"No." Cream said. 
"I messaged her a few times, but..nothing." Blaze said.
"I'm gonna go and finish packing." Sonic said.
"Where is she, Rouge?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know Shadow. But I'll try to find out." Rouge said. She went upstairs.
"Aww, thanks for putting my clothes away!" Rouge said, kissing him.
Cream walked into her room. She was met by a girl.
"Hi! My name is Cosmo. Is this Gaia House?" she asked.
"Um, no. This is Iblis House. I'll take you to Gaia House." Cream said.
"Okay. Thanks. Sorry for troubling you." Cosmo said. They went outside the room, but Cosmo bumped in to Tails.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Cosmo said.
"It's fine." Tails said. They all walked outside.
Later that night, everyone was eating dinner.
"Why did you guys break up?" Rouge asked.
"It was a mutual decision. We're both completely cool with it." Blaze said.
"Yeah. I'm so cool with it, I'm practically a popsicle." Silver said. 
Sonic walked out of the kitchen, but ran into a girl with boxes.
"Hey! Watch where...."Sonic said. Then he saw her. "You."
"Ahh! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" she asked.
"Um...I've seen you before." Sonic said.
"I'll help pick up your things. I'm Blaze" Blaze said.
"Thanks." she said. "My name's Sally. Now, what were you saying?"
"Um, I said that I've seen you before." Sonic replied.
"It's possible." Sally said. "Where are you from?"
"Oh, no, it's just.....you're the girl from my dream." Sonic said.
"Oh, please." Rouge said.
"Okaayy...."Sally said. "Anyways, it was nice meeting you. I'm staying in Gaia House tonight and moving in tomorrow."
As Sally was leaving, she bumped into Eggman.
"Sorry! I...I was just leaving." she told him.
"Everyone, it's time for bed." Eggman told the residents.
Cream woke up to her clock ringing.
"It's my birthday...IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" Cream exclaimed. She looked at the empty bed in front of her. Then, Cream angrily threw her clock down.
"Um, Rouge, where's Knuckles going with all the mail?" asked Vanilla.
"Since today's Cream's birthday, we're all going to pretend we forgot." Rouge explained.
"Oh, alright." Vanilla replied.
"Mom, is the mail in?" Cream asked.
"Oh, no dear. I'm sorry." Vanilla said.
"I'll help you get breakfast ready." Rouge said, taking Vanilla into the kitchen.
"No mail?!" Eggman exclaimed.
"I know, right? There really isn't!" Cream said. "Birthday fail."
As they were walking to class, Cream asked Tails and Shadow for a present.
"Do you have a present for me?" Cream asked.
"What, oh no. Sorry, Cream. Something's happened to Amy and I intend to find out what it is." Shadow said.
"Then will you get me a present?" Cream called. "You didn't forget my birthday, did you?"
"No, of course not." Tails said. "I'll go get your present."
The bell rang, and everyone went to class. Blaze and Rouge followed Knuckles, Sonic, and Shadow in. Sally walked in, and waved to Blaze.
"What do you think of the new girl?" Rouge asked.
"I like her." Blaze replied. "She seems cool."
"Good morning everybody. I am Professor Nega, your new teacher." A man said.
"He seems familiar..." Blaze whispered.
"Is anyone else new like me?" Nega asked.
Sally raised your hand.
"Welcome. Tell us a little about yourself." Nega said.
"HI everyone. I'm Sally. I'm from Knothole, but I live in Central City during summer. And I'm really excited about this place. Oh, and I move into Iblis House tonight." Sally explained. 
"Alright. For our first project, I would like us to do a family tree project." Nega said.
Sonic was looking through Sally's bag over the desk.
"Hi there." Sally said.
"Do you have a sick father? And if you do, did he give you a key?" Sonic asked.
"Um, are you sure you're okay?" Sally asked. She quickly turned around, shaken. 
The bell rang for class to end. Shadow walked over to Sally.
"Sally, do you happen to know Amy Rose? She lives in Central City." Shadow said.
"You know Central City's huge right?" Sally replied.
"You don't say.." Shadow replied.
Sonic ran to Sally.
"Hey, can I talk to you?" Sonic asked.
"Sure. What do you need?" Sally asked.
"Just tell me the truth. Do you have a key?" Sonic asked.
Shadow, Rouge, Shade, Cream, Blaze and Tails all went to the lounge for their free period. Tails got out his computer. Shadow asked to borrow it.
"She messaged me!" Shadow exclaimed.
"What did she say?" Shade asked.
"She says all is explained in a letter.." Shadow said.
"What letter?" Tails asked.
"I don't know." Shadow replied.
"Ask her." Rouge said. Shadow did. 
"She says ask Sonic." Shadow said.
"Where is Sonic, anyways?" Cream asked.
"Come with me back to the house." Sally said. They walked together. Sally opened a small box. It had a picture of her father in it. Under the picture, was a silver moon key.
"Therer really was a key!" Sonic exclaimed. He saw a flash of red light, and sudennly was in a room he didn't recognize. Professor Nega was pulling the tarp off of something. Then he was back in the house.
"Your dad was really sick in my dream. Wait..he didn't-" Sonic began.
"No...he's just petrified due to being out of a place called the Void." Sally said.
"I'm sorry." Sonic said.
Cream was walking to her locker. Someone tapped her on the back. 
"Big!" Cream exclaimed.
"Cream the bunny! My friend, it is good to see you!" Big said.
"It's good to see you too." Cream said.
"Hi Cream!" Cosmo said, walking up to her. "I heard it was your birthday, so Big and I made you a scarf."
"Aww! Thanks so much! Come by Iblis House tonight." Cream told them.
That night, Rouge and Shadow snuck into Sonic's room.
"Big Blue's hiding something. We need to find out what." Rouge said. They searched his room. Rouge went through a drawer, and found a letter. She didn't tell Shadow.
"Oh, I forgot! I need to help Knuckles set up. I'm sorry." Rouge said. Then, Shade walked in.
"Looks like you could use some help." Shade said.
"Yeah." Shadow said.
"I know I don't look it, but I can hack into things really easily. Yoiu could see what's on Sonic's computer." Shade said.
"Do it." Shadow replied. So, Shade hacked into his computer. 
"Find out for yourself." Shade said, walking out.
Cosmo, Big, Knuckles, Rouge, Tails, Sonic, Silver, and Shade were hiding from Cream. Blaze was with Cream. Sally was going down the hallway to the attic. She tried using her key in the door, but it didn't work.
"That door's always locked." Cream said, as she and Blaze were walking downstairs. 
"I see that now. Happy Birthday, Cream." Sally said.
"Come on. We're just going to eat some sandwiches." Blaze said. The three linked arms and went downstairs.
"SURPRISE!" everyone yelled.
"Aww, thanks guys!" Cream said.
"No..I forgot a present!" Tails said to himself.
"Cream, here's your present pile." Blaze said.
She opened everything. Finally, Cream got to a brown parcel.
"You opened all of ours." Silver told her.
"Actually, I got this for you." Tails lied. It was a bracelet.
"Aww, thanks Tails! I love it!" Cream said.
Sonic walked into his room. Sally tried her key into the Cellar doorway as everyone was talking. It didn't work.
"I need to know the truth." Shadow said. He didn't look at Sonic's computer.
"Everything is explained in this letter, Shadow." Sonic said, handing it to him. He walked out of his room.
"There's the key!" Sonic said. He grabbed it.
"Hey!" Sally exclaimed. A red light appeared.
Sonic was in the same room as his previous vision, and sarcophagi were opening. They surrounded him.
"Let me out of here! Let me out!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Sonic!" Sally yelled.
Eggman was out in the woods. 
"Hello...Eggman." Metal Sonic said.
"Hello, my rogue robot." Eggman said. "What are you doing here?"
"I am the Seeker." Metal Sonic told him.
"And I am the Enabler. But who is the Keeper?" Eggman asked.
Someone wearing black gloves put a diary wedged into the couch in the living room. They exited stealthily before anyone could see.....
