Everyone knows the legend of Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends—heroes who saved Mobius countless times. After their final battle, they vanished from public life. Fifteen years later, Mobius wonders: where are they now?

Now in their early–mid 30s, the heroes live quieter lives. Sonic and Sally, long divorced, share their fierce daughter Sonia (13). Sonic and Amy later had Rayna (11). Knuckles and Rouge raise Luke (12) and Roxanne (6). Tails and Cream have baby Jack and clever Milo. Silver and Blaze raise Lune (11) and fiery Nymph (7). Shadow and Annabelle have twins Aaron and Shane (12) and gentle Maria (6).

The rest soon arrive for a rare peaceful gathering. Jet and Wave show up with Gale (11) and Starling (6). Storm hauls a giant cooler. Whisper and Tangle bring their shy son Haze (10). Big waves with Froggy. Honey brings snacks “and style.” Marine stumbles in, Espio appears from nowhere, Charmy yelps, and Vector calls for the party to start.

Close by, Swift the Hedgehog watches his son Velo (11) speed around. Mighty and his son Boulder (10) join Luke in an arm-wrestling contest. Ray glides overhead. Jules and Bernadette sit at a picnic table as Speedy the Chao circles Sonic’s legs.

And then… Nicholas. Your son. Hidden for twelve years.

Amaya arrives with Shadow, Nicholas between them—hood up, faint crimson energy beneath it. Milo stares curiously. Nicholas stays close; if Sonic, Amy, or Sally saw him… the truth might spill out.

Across the field Sonic and Amy laugh while the kids train and play: Sonia teaching Rayna, Lune tossing chaos spheres with Shane, Nymph burning a marshmallow, Luke guarding Roxanne. Nicholas watches them—kids who could have been his friends.

Then the air shifts. Sally Acorn arrives, walking straight toward Sonic. Everyone stiffens.

A breeze lifts Nicholas’s hood. Indigo fur. Crimson streaks. Eyes almost like Sonic’s.

Sally freezes. Sonic blinks. Amy tenses. Sonic steps forward, sensing a chaos signature identical to his own.

“…Who—?”

Amaya pulls the hood down, but too late.

Sally snaps, “Why does that child look exactly like Sonic?!”

Shadow steps between them. Sonic ignores everyone, voice shaking. “Kid… why do you feel like me?”

Nicholas panics; his quills flicker.

Sonic turns to Amaya. “Please… tell me the truth.”

Amaya lifts the hood fully. Nicholas’s indigo fur, black-blended edges, glowing crimson streaks, emerald-ruby eyes—all revealed.

“Twelve years ago,” she says softly, “I found him in an Eggman lab. Not born—created. Made from your DNA… and mine.”

Shock spreads.

“He wasn’t a child to Eggman. He was a weapon. I saved him. I raised him alone. You had Sonia, then Rayna—you were happy. I couldn’t destroy that with a child you never asked for… one made without consent.”

Sonic looks shattered. “You thought I wouldn’t want him?”

“No,” Amaya whispers. “I thought the world would tear you apart.”

Bernadette and Jules step forward, stunned—another grandson, beyond their two “bratty” granddaughters. The families stare as the truth settles, and the calm gathering turns toward a storm no one expected.

Sally and Amy bristled; Rayna and Sonia scoffed. Sonic ignored them, staring only at Nicholas.

Sonic then bend down to Nicholas. "Hi....what's your name bud?"
