|Third Person POV|

Sonic was carried bridal style by his husband, with Shadic in his arms who just nuzzling into Sonic purring enjoying his warmth. The blue hedgehog didn't look that great and he was trying to stay awake. Shadow was following behind Sonia, Tails' Workshop was huge but wasn't enough for everyone, and wasn't fair for Sonic to back the only bed while everyone slept on the floor, and his Parents-In-Laws decided that staying in their quarters would be better, while Tails worked on his project to help Sonic feel stable. As soon as the metal doors opened the group was met with an interesting sight, to the siblings is wasn't any different from when they all grow up together, it was a replica of the castle that they grew up in.

"Wow..." Maria said as she ran up to the family portraits that were in the entrance. The first one was of the Hedgehog Siblings when they were probably around ten years old, Manic was wearing a red jacket instead of his black jacket, but with a silver necklace that had a drum charm on it, standing next to him, was Sonic, who was wearing a white shirt, a dark blue short sleeve vest, with a hot pink skirt, with black shorts underneath, the same necklace but with a guitar charm, her arm was wrapped around another blue hedgehog that had sapphire blue eyes the name necklaces with the same charm, the two blue hedgehog's looked like identical twins, just with a height difference. Sitting on the opposite side of the other blue hedgehog was Sonia with the same necklace just a keyboard charm on it. Aleena with a tiara on her head was standing behind them leaning up against Jules who was wearing a crown on his head. Beside the portrait was another one, but of the hedgehog siblings being in their midteens, Sonic having the surgical scars on his chest his arm still wrapped around Scourge, who had green fur and the scars on his chest, but a younger Tails in center of the two twins with a smile on his face as he had two peace signs.

"Ain't that Something?" Knuckles said adjusting his hat looking at the portraits, he kind of knew that Sonic and Scourge were identical twins after all he had to learn that the hard way when he punched Scourge leaving the green hedgehog with the scars on his chest, but he didn't know the blue hedgehog was trans, it didn't really change his opinion on the blue hedgehog though.

"So cool!" Skylar said his tails wagging at the sight of seeing his Dad in the family portrait.

"Hehe..." Aleena snickered as she puts a hand on Shadow's shoulder "Come, I know a room wearing you can lay him down, Hun" she said to the ebony hedgehog, she holds her hand out for Maria who took it.

Jules took the broken robot from Tails motioning the fox to follow him, Tails nodded and started to follow his adopted Dad, Fiona following after him taking Skylar hand, it was a big place and she didn't want to loose her son.

Scourge lets out a soft sigh, Sally walking up to him seeing the portrait of all of five of them, she couldn't help but to smile she knew the green hedgehog had some good in him even if he tries to deny it and hide it. "At least you did the right thing with turning your in." She said to the green hedgehog who only growled at her. "I didn't have a choice...it was turn myself in...or let those backstabbing assholes harm my family..." He mutters, Scourge got into a lot of trouble in his teen years, he was just tired of people comparing him to his twin brother, Sonic, so he turned to a life of crime getting back at Fiona for breaking both of his brothers' hearts to only end up falling in love with her. He's been through a lot, and now he didn't have much of a choice but help his people...be a look out for Colony, on Mobius, since he was a criminal he knows all the routes to get around Mobius without getting detected by the Security Bots, but he just didn't want to see his twin brother go...not this soon if anything as much as he hated the azure hedgehog he cared about him. "Come on Knux, Silver..." he said going off in the direction that his Mom went down. Silver nodded and followed after the green hedgehog, Knuckles doing the same, leaving the girls with Sonia and Manic.

"So Sonia...You'd played?" Rouge asked folding her arms.

"Yeah, Sonic and Scourge were on Base and Electric Guitars, no matter what Sonic says now he has a good singing voice and still does, I played the Electric Keyboard, and Manic the drums" Sonia responded.

Shadow gently lays Sonic down on the comfy bed, the blue hedgehog had let Shadic go, who only whimpered reaching out to Sonic. "Ma-ma..." he whimpered, which made Shadow and Sonic blink shocked from Shadic saying his first words but in a difficult, but kind of heartbreaking way, the tiny hedgehog had his ears pinned opening and closing his hands still reaching out to Sonic, whimpering. Maria was standing on a stool to see Shadic her tail wagging, hearing her younger brother's cute little voice, tho she didn't understand why Sonic and Shadow looked heartbroken when Shadic called out to Sonic. "Shadic..." Sonic said.

The tiny hedgehog sniffs whimpering before he was just gone from Shadow's arms and appearing into Sonic's arms. "And he can chaos control." Shadow admits there wasn't a point an trying to remove Shadic from Sonic, since he could just teleport back to the blue hedgehog, but he understood why he wanted to be with Sonic.

"Mommy?..." Maria asked looking at Sonic who looked back at her, holding Shadic close to him. "Y-your gonna be o-okay?" She asked her voice was shaken and upset.

"He's gonna be okay...Maria, he just needs rest and support, and in no time he'll be on his feet." Shadow said pulling the small hedgehog up to be sitting on the bed. Maria's ears perked up, as she saw Shadic holding his small hand out for Maria, as he wanted to hold his sister's hand.

"Can you say her name...Shadic?" Sonic said to the tiny hedgehog, that was laying in his arm.

"Ma...Mawia..." Shadic tried but he was just concerned so it was the best that he could do, Maria only smiled her tail wagging as she just let the tiny hedgehog hold her hand. "it's Maria...but I'll take it...Shadic." She smiled.

"This is two adorable..." Aleena said holding her camera out to record this moment. "Mom!!" Sonic whined.

Knuckles stepped into the room, it was better than the workshop with a few extra beds that was added that can fit two people into the the same bed, but to Scourge it was just his old room that had a make over. Since him and Sonic were twins they shared a room. Aleena soon took her leave "Just don't be afraid to ask Shadow is you need help...whether you want it or not...I'm going to help you." She tells the ebony hedgehog who only nodded, the metal door closed.

Aleena stood outside of the closed door, a few tears in the corner of her eyes, she may not know how chaos energy works but she understood enough of it to know that she was loosing her son to it, "Come on Aleena...be strong, all you can do is hope that he gets better, he tough, like his Father." She said as he walked away from the room to check on her adopted son.

"So any ideas?"

Tails blinks as he was going through the different possibilities, this was different from loosing Shadow, and he can't just let his best friend die, he looked at the camera's that was in the room with the Five Chaos Users, Sonic looked better with them around, was it the positivity that the blue hedgehog used to keep himself, checking the data from Metal he was able to see that Sonic is at a hundred percent, and don't look so weak. He pulls out his phone and gives Knuckles a text, he has an idea but he needed to red echidna the only way this was gonna work is with the help of the emeralds and the Keeper of Chaos herself.

"Mom...can I have the location to the emeralds?"

"Tails what are planning..."

"It's the not energy that is making him weak...Amy do you remember Dark Sonic?" Tails asked turning his attention to the pink hedgehog, who only gasped at the memory of the dark form of Sonic.

"You can't...be."

"He's been surrounded by Negativity...and he's been keeping all that in, that's why they couldn't feel him, it's because of the negativity of everyone on the Ark." Tails said as he gets up from his seat.

"I have you the location on your communicator." Aleena said "I do hope your right about this Tails..."

The Fox only smiled before grabbing something out of his desk, if he is then this must be the only way they are finally going to get rid of the negativity, if not then Sonic is just gonna continue suffering, but first he just needed a certain green hedgehog to confirm his findings. He rushed out of the his room and headed for the room that where the five were, the door slid open and Tails walked inside.

"Tails did she give you the location?" Knuckles asked.

"Yes, but Scourge, your the most negative person I know I need you to tell me, the chaos energy your feeling from Sonic." Tails said it was more of command than a request.

"Uh...Sure." Scourge said, he sounded confused but if it was to help his brother out than why not give it a shot, he just closes his eyes, but what the other four didn't expect was.

"Scourge!" The green hedgehog just completely collapsed to the ground.

When Scourge opened his eyes he held his head and felt that Knuckles and Silver was holding him up, he was not expecting to feel that much negativity from his own brother.

"Are you okay?"

"And here I thought...I had a lot of negativity..." Scourge muttered. "You have some explaining to do Tails."

Tails only shakes his head, if he told Scourge that would just make this situation worse "It's best you don't know..." he turns to Knuckles. Who let go of Scourge, who stumbled a little, and he followed the fox out the room the metal door closes. "You know it was Dark Sonic that was killing him?..." he asked.

"It took awhile...but yeah, I mean Eggman picked the wrong time to attack us...Sonic was already stressed as it was, he was pregnant with Shaundre, and was taking care of Maria, to only get the news that, Surge, Infinite, and everyone else were attacking. Sonic must've felt helpless cause he could help out, and to only get the word that G.U.N built a ship to get Mobians and the remaining humans to the Ark...after we found the emeralds, to only loose his husband, Shadic's birth must have been the only positive he got...than Shadow coming back to him." Tails explained, he lets out a sigh looking up at Knuckles, who only looked concerned but understood.

"But are you sure she can help us?..."

"I am gonna ask her to transfer some of the Master Emerald's energy into these." He said holding up a pair of inhibitor rings that were completely a dull gray color, "I don't remember getting them...but they don't have energy at all."

"I trust you Tails...So I can see what I can do..." Knuckles responded.
