Silver had no idea why he kept wandering out like this. It never really amounted to anything and was probably just a waste of time...but he just couldn't shake the eternal hope that maybe this time he'd find something, something that would get them all off the island.

He never did. That never stopped him.

What Silver never seemed to realize was that these expeditions never found him information; instead, they found him people, and today's was no exception.

His ears perked up as he heard someone talking - to themselves, probably, since it didn't sound like anyone was answering. He headed towards the sound and found the source of the voice - a man - around a corner. The question asking just who the man was died in his throat when he caught sight of just what was behind the man.

"Look out!"

Focusing his power quickly, he grabbed the nearest crab and slammed it backwards. Not waiting for it to land, he dashed towards the stranger, making a grab for his hand. They needed to make a run for it.

"Come on! Let's get out of here!"

Someone was shouting, breaking through Daniel's inner thoughts.

Daniel gaped as he turned around and saw what looked like a large white anthromorphic hedgehog and what looked like an oversized insect with crablike appendages flying into a wall. The insect had been behind him this entire time and he hadn't even noticed it.

"What...what is that? Um...who are you?" Clutching his head in utter confusion, he wondered whether the last time flash had some adverse effect on his brain. Were these hallucinations of some sort?

Shaking his head, he allowed himself to be grabbed by the hedgehog, glancing back at the insect as it got up from it's impact from the wall. It hissed, chasing after them as they started to run away.

"Um...the insect thing...it's chasing after us, you know."

"It's a crab, I'm Silver, and I know." He'd obviously managed to pick up a complete space cadet, and the man's inability to pay attention could be a danger to them both. He scanned the street for anything useful as they ran through it- there. Silver skidded to a stop, letting go of the man's hand and grabbing a nearby trash can with his power. Using the momentum from the running, he swung around, bringing the trash can around in a wide arc and slamming it forcefully into the crab, splattering the decapod against a wall with a loud crunch.

Silver took a second to breathe and to make sure the crab was really dead before he turned back to the man. "We need to go. They never travel alone."

"Okay..." Daniel mumbled in reply, his mind racing as he tried to figure out what exactly was happening. This was much too real to be a hallucination; he could definitely feel Silver's hand in his own, as well as the cold air freezing his skin as they both ran away from the crab.

Okay, a giant crab thing is chasing me and a white hedgehog named Silver is helping me in New York City, which seems to be absolutely demolished for some reason...this makes no sense at all! Even the island with it's electromagnetic barriers made more sense than this, for crying out loud! Daniel bit his lip in slight frustration, but then noticed that Silver's hand was no longer in his. He turned, looking for where his companion had gone.

Daniel blinked as he watched, flabbergasted, as a nearby trashcan seemed to leap up by itself and crush the crab onto a wall. He stared at the dead crab for a second, then looked back at Silver, who was standing not so far away.

Did he do that? Or was that just a trick of my eyes? Maybe he just threw the trashcan and I
