For my games story, after the events of Sonic '06, Mephiles ends up in a place called Oblivion or Black Space, an endless black void of silence and darkness where those completely forgotten go to fade from existance. However since Oblivion consist of dark element, Mephiles was able to draw from the darkness and become more powerful that he once before and used that power to invade the chaotic pocket dimension where the Special Stages take place. There he found a "Dream bubble" where Tikal reside and fought with Chaos 0, causing a disturbance of power of sort.

Mephiles was able to return to Earth so that he may seek the Black Chaos Emerald with the help of Dr. Eggman (who is constructing his own Eclipse Canon on his Death Egg) and Nack the Weasel (hired by Eggman to collect emeralds for him), while Tikal, as a spirit, sought out Team Sonic to ask them to stop Mephiles.

Replacing Omochao and hint markers entirely, Tikal would reprise her role as Hint Orb. Mephiles will also be a hint orb to Eggman and Nack, as a purple-black flame. When touched he will communicate to the character through their shadows.
