A year after halting an alien invasion and curing himself of amnesia, Shadow the Hedgehog has found some inner peace and currently serves as an active member of society. However, facing his final inner demon in the form of Mephiles and being the only one that really knows what's going on, he's got quite the challenge to face...but he's definitely not alone this time.

Sonic's world completely turns upside down when he takes a trip to Soleanna, only to end up in a whole new brand of trouble. A princess kidnapped, an assassin after his head, and a quest to save the future...are all things only Sonic himself can recall ever happening. But he's not crazy! There's gotta be someone else that knows...right? Someone else that remembers?

As Silver lays awake one night, he's haunted by unsettling dreams of what could have been: a fiery future filled with things he's never seen and people he's never met, and the fact that time had run out before he was ever born. While it's impossible for the events to have occurred, he's still playing close attention...because it's the only way to find out the truth.

The school year is entering its final stretch, although both Hero High and Villain Prep aren't in very good shape. Mysterious forces are at work on all sides, secrets are constantly in play, alignments are changing, and with an event being held that both schools plan to attend...not everyone's going to leave unscathed.
