Silver lives 200+ years in the future where telekinetic powers are the norm. [5] In the future, Silver's world is completely destroyed by what is known as the "Flames of Disaster". He and his partner and best friend, Blaze the Cat, battle an immortal being known as "Iblis". After Silver becomes frustrated over the fact that Iblis always revives himself, a mysterious figure named Mephiles suddenly appears and, along the way, informs Silver of the time when Iblis was first unleashed onto the world. He tells him that Sonic was the main cause of the "Flames of Disaster" and refers to him as the "Iblis Trigger". Mephiles sends himself along with Silver and Blaze back in time to the point when "the Iblis Trigger was alive" to prevent Sonic from destroying the future. Upon reaching the present day, Silver realizes that he got separated from Mephiles and Blaze and, elsewhere, Blaze makes the same realization. When Silver has his sights finally set on the Iblis Trigger, he is interrupted by Amy, who mistakes him for Sonic. Amy quickly develops a friendship with Silver, and she promises to help him find who he is looking for, unbeknownst to the fact that he plans on finding and killing Sonic. After locating Sonic in the city, Silver engages him in combat and just as Sonic is about to be killed by Silver, he is saved by Amy. While Sonic runs off to find Elise, who was kidnapped by Eggman during the battle, Amy gets upset over the fact that Silver would even suggest that Sonic would destroy the world in the future and she quickly leaves Silver. Both confused and puzzled when Blaze finds him, Silver questions whether or not he should kill Sonic just for the sake of saving the future. To find more answers, Silver and Blaze journey to Eggman's base. After resolving that he should kill Sonic, Silver finds Mephiles, who tells him that Sonic is at the terminal station. Silver heads there and fights Sonic again, only to have Shadow save Sonic just as Silver was about to finish him off...
