The Dark guy no longer exists. At least on the physical plane, anyway. Remember in Sonic Generations when after Green Hill, Tails was free from his white statue state. He claims his conscious was in a black, dark, abyss like place. Well, that place plays an important reason how Mephiles can return. That place suppose to be the "bin" where those who are completely forgotten go to. However due to the darkness of that place, only made Mephiles more powerful. Won't that means Solaris will come back? Nope. You see, no one can truely be forgotten. When we die we will still have those who will remember us and if whenever you believe in reincarnation or not, the soul continues. My idea for Oblivion is a black dimension where souls or beings who are completely forgotten go to where the darkness will break them down into nothingness. The only way for someone to be truely and completely forgotten is to be erased from time, which is exactly what happened to Solaris in '06 and to Sonic's friends in Generations. (However since Sonic still retained memories of his friends, was able to save them.)

However, since Solaris was and always will be worshiped in Solleana, he will never truely be forgotten, so instead Mephiles and Iblis were divided again. The Flames of Disaster is now permanantly snuffed from history while Mephiles who was suppose to be absorbed into the darkness, instead feed from it and grew powerful. With the great source of darkness he was able to infiltrate the Special Zone where Tikal and Chaos resides and from here able to find the current timeline where Sonic exist.

I know it's rather complicated for Sonic lore, but being it a fan game I wanted good reason for Mephiles return because I wanted him to have an angel-demon rivaly with Tikal. And my sister said the Mega Man franchise was complicated with it's many timelines.
