People were trying to fix their homes after the attack from ' the hooded monsters ' . The village doctor was trying to tend to the Freedom Fighters. Sonic had managed to sneak away from the doctor. After being trapped in that prison cell it felt good to run around. He had freedom that most people take for granted. Now nothing was in his way ... except for three injured friends that didn't move out of his way fast enough.
" Uh sorry Jessica , Tails and ... Knuckles... " Sonic's mouth hung open.
Knuckles was covered in blood that dried on his fur. Some of the blood still was wet. Sonic was amazed. They had fought on severel occasions before but Knux had never gotten this injured. He knew Jessica loved Knuckles too much to hurt him so that left...
" Tails what have you done " Sonic accused , eyes widening.
Tails sent him a scathing glare.
" We have to get him to Knothole emergency , NOW " Tails told his friend oblivious to his own wounds.
__________
" So Sonic what you are saying is... Tails was the one who did this. I do not belive you , Sonic don't lie to me. " Sally said.
The docters were a little reluctant at first but eventually took Knuckles into the hospital room. Now Sonic was trying to explain what he figured happened to Knuckles. But Sally did not want to belive him. Even though it was a good explaination .
Just then Tails walked in . He had just taken a shower to wash off the blood.
" Who's lieing " Tails asked , more a statement then a question.
The princess was taken aback. She had pretty much raised this kit from the day he was born and now she was finding out how wrong her thoughts on him were.
__________
Jessica snapped the communicator shut and walked over to her sweetheart's bed. She sat down beside him and stroked the top of his head. His eyes fluttered open.
" How are you feeling " she asked with a smile.
" Considerably better now thanks " Knuckles said quietly.
" You up to going back home. I just got off the phone with the constable and everyone wants to see you again. " Jessica said.
A sad look went across Knuckles face when Jessica brought that up.
" Do... Do they know what I did. " Knuckles said in a whisper.
Jessica had never seen Knuckles look so sad in all the time she had known him. She shrugged her shoulders.
__________
The fox sat on a cliff and thought about what he had done. It was not like he had wanted to hurt Knuckles. But he had to hurt him so that it would bring him back to his senses.
When he got to thinking about what had happened he knew it was too good to be true. It seemed that they got captured an without much resistance , got out.
Somethings wrong !!
But how can he tell Sally. The only reason he left Knothole to go on a walk is because he kept getting a dissaproving glare from Sally. It wasn't fair. After all he had done over the years to help them and to prove that he was more than just a child. Now that one thing goes wrong they shun him.
Only one thing to do.
It may take a while...

" Are you sure that you want to leave cousin. " Sally asked her two echidna friends as they headed off to their home that soared among the clouds.
Turning the female echidna smiled. " I will be back in few weeks . " she told the princess.
Knuckles did not turn around. He just could not face his friends on the surface. Even though he had changed he still felt as if they would see the same snarl he wore when he destroyed their home. He was sure only Sally forgave him inside because not a single other person came up to him to talk or bid farewell. It hurt him inside. The Floating Island had not yet suffered his wrath when his fox friend had changed him. But he was sure that it had hurt Jessica too. When she had ran up to him after so many long weeks he had felt a pain deep inside his body , from his heart. It was the soultouch that he shared with Jessica. Knuckles could tell easyily how she hurt for him and herself.
Jessica had just entered the aircraft when she noticed her mate sitting with his head in his hands crying. She knew right then that whatever had transpired to make him this way had torn him inside out. She knew this because he never cries. She helped her love to the passenger seat and head off for home.
" Not to worry my love they do not know " Jessica said putting a hand on his.
Knux was not convinced. Then his thoughts wandered. What of the legion ?...
__________
The aircraft flew off.
Nobody inside saw that glowing come from a part of the forest not far from Knothole.
As to why there was a glow there. That is another story for another day.
The End...
