"We need to find that Chaos Emerald before Rouge does, pick up the pace!" exclaimed Knuckles
"Relax Knucklehead, we'll find it, trust me" replied Sonic
The group was on a quest to find a missing Chaos Emerald, but Rouge was on the hunt for it as well, Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Cosmo and Tails were all searching when they heard a yell.
"What the hell was that?" asked Knuckles
"Let's investigate" suggested Amy
The team went out to investigate the noise, it got louder...and louder as they progressed, then finally they saw who was making the noise, he was an Echidna, red like Knuckles only he
didn't have the crest that Knuckles had on his chest and this Echidna wore a blindfold.
"Who's there? If you're working for Dr. Eggman, I'll split your head open!" he exclaimed
Knuckles walked up to him, "You wanna figh-YAHHHH!" the Echidna hit Knuckles with his bamboo stick and knocked him to the ground.
"Don't ever walk up on me again!" he said as he had Knuckles pinned to the ground
"Who are you anyways?" asked Sonic
"My name...is Hiro, I am a blind swordsman" replied Hiro
"I seek the one they call, Hertia"
and all of a sudden that clicked in Cosmo's head
"Hertia is my mother, how do you know of her anyway?" asked Cosmo
"I have heard our planet is in grave danger if we do not collect these things called...Chaos Emeralds, anyway I was told that by her in a dream, she said Hiro, my name is Hertia, this planet is in grave danger, if you do not collect the 7 Chaos Emeralds our planet is doomed"
"Then I woke up" said Hiro
"But why would my mother ask you?" questioned Cosmo
"I don't know, but apparently it is my destiny" replied Hiro
All of a sudden, a bluejay landed on Hiro's shoulder, she had a little bag of berries in her mouth
"Ah Giselle, there you are, and you got the berries I asked for, good girl" said Hiro as he fed Giselle a berry
"This is Giselle, she is my guide bird" said Hiro
"Tweet Tweet" Giselle tweeted happily
"I didn't catch your names by the way" said Hiro
"I'm Sonic" said Sonic
"I'm Amy" said Amy
"My name is Cosmo, daughter of Hertia" said Cosmo
"My names Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails" said Tails
"And I'm Kn-Kn-KNUCKLES!" exclaimed Knuckles as he was still under the bamboo stick
"Sorry about that" said Hiro as he picked Knuckles up off the ground
"Let me take you all to my cottage, we can have Cloud-berry tea"
"Alright sounds good" said Sonic
"Alright, lead the way Giselle" and Giselle took off leading everyone to his cottage, but little did everybody know, Rouge was watching them from afar.
"Well, well looks I have competition, well needn't to worry, that Chaos Emerald is as good as mine" she said in a slick voice and she then flew off into the distance in search of the Chaos Emerald.
Meanwhile, Hiro...erm Giselle was leading everyone to the cottage, Knuckles felt a little suspicious about Hiro, he actually didn't believe he was blind.
"That Hiro seems a little strange to me" Knuckles whispered to Sonic
"I heard that Knuckles!" exclaimed Hiro
"But how?! 'm over here and..."
"When one sense get's cut off, the others get stronger, I may be blind but I am certainly not deaf" replied Hiro.
"Say Hiro, why do you live out in a cottage in the woods anyways?" asked Amy
"Well...when I was younger, I was born blind, one day I was on a hiking trip with friends and supervision, the next thing you know, I heard of a fire in my village...no survivors, I ran off into the woods and just cried. All of a sudden I felt Giselle land on my shoulder, she put a Cloudberry in my mouth and she led me to an abandoned cottage and she led me to a field full of fruit! I've since mastered in Martial Arts and Giselle is my guide as I can hear her distinct flapping"
Everybody was speechless at Hiro's story, never did they meet somebody as inspiring as him, they really showed admiration, except the ol' grouch himself, Knuckles.
"Well, here's my cottage" said Hiro
It was a beautiful white cottage with a brown roof, there was a huge field behind it, where Hiro had a garden, there were flowers around it and the grass was nice and green.
"Please, come in. You're all welcome as guests in my cottage until you can find the Chaos Emerald, and it's not trouble at all" said Hiro happily
"Thank you Hiro" said Tails
"Thanks Hiro" said Cosmo
"I'm very grateful" said Sonic
"You're the best Hiro!" exclaimed Amy
"Whatever" pouted Knuckles
"Jeez what's his problem?" Hiro thought to himself
"OK Giselle, let's make some tea!"
"TWEET!" Giselle tweeted happily
"Say Hiro, why did you name her Giselle anyways?" asked Tails
"Why, I named her after my mother" replied Hiro
Hiro went to go make tea for everyone as they all got settled in.
