Epilogue

"Do you see that?" asked Tails.

"Who could miss it." replied Links looking up.

A large white smoke trail shot across the sky towards them. As it drew nearer it became clearer as a fighter. Tails, Links, Bunnie and Lavender stood fast as it shot over head and dropped like a stone.

-----------------------------------------

Jet frantically tried to pull up but it was no use. The fighter's controls had frozen. As he had entered the atmosphere the engines had exploded throwing the fighter into an uncontrollable entry. He had been lucky to survive it but he wouldn't survive any longer. The fighter was heading straight for the ground and there was no way out. He closed his eyes and waited.

-----------------------------------------

"Who do you think he is sugah?"

"I have no idea."

"Bit of a dumb question really, we've never even see him before."

A throbbing pain filled Jets head causing him to moan.

"He's coming round."

Jet slowly opened his eyes and groaned. He saw a green canopy above him and rays of sunshine brushed against his face.

"Where am I? Am I dead?" he asked.

"Far from it." said a voice.

Jet slowly sat up and looked around him. Around him stood a number of figures, a rabbit, two foxes, one blue, one orange, and something white that resembled a fox. He looked at them for a moment.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"You'll forgive us for a being a little tentative." said the blue fox.

"Why?" asked Jet.

"You were piloting a plane similar to the ones that attack me." answered the orange fox.

Jet looked at him. He understood why they were being cautious now. Just then the white fox stepped forwards. She raised an eyebrow at Jet and then starred at him. Her gaze was piercing and Jet had to look away. When he looked back she was still looking at him but more softly. He was able to meet her gaze and something passed between them.

"We have nothing to fear from him." said the fox still looking at Jet, "Nothing at all."

"You sure?" asked the rabbit.

"Yes."

The white fox steeped forward and helped Jet to his feet.

"My name is Lavender." she said, "This is Bunnie, Tails and Link."

"I'm Jet." replied Jet looking around the group.

He was nervous but for some reason he felt as ease around these people. It was odd. Lavender led him over to a better place to sit and motioned for him to sit down. He did and Lavender sat down next to him. Bunnie stepped forwards.

"Well if sugah here says you're ok so do I. Now let me have a look at those cuts." she said smiling.

Jet sat still whilst Bunnie tidied the cuts up he had got when the fighter had crashed. He wondered who these people really were. Would they help him? He hoped so, he really did.
