Chapter Five

"Okay, now we carefully pull back the cloth from around the childs face," the doctor

instructed Bunny and Bunny nodded. She did as she was told, and as soon as they

pulled the cloth off the child Bunny discovered the child was an echidna.

Carefully they pulled the rest of the clothing off and she saw that the child was female,

then she let the doctor clean the wounds and put the bandages on the child which she

had yet to learn how to do correctly.

As Bunny was putting blankets over the child she noticed the necklace around the

childs neck and she admired the workmanship of the silver heart, finally she was done

putting the blankets on the child.

"Thank you Bunny for the help, I've been having an overload of patients lately and you

helping me today really helped," the doctor said with a smile, Bunny smiled and left the

hut for her home since she was so tired.

Sally looked at the child in the bed, a bandage was wrapped around her head like a

bandana. The girl she noticed was in very good shape other then the obvious injuries,

the doctor told her that the injuries were caused by a swatbot.

"Saph... ," the girl suddenly said in her sleep, Sally quickly wrote down the name the

child had said, whatever she had just said could tell them where she had come from or

who her parents were.

"Sapphier... ," the girl said and sally blinked, the word Saph and Sapphier sounded the

same so they might be the same thing or person.

'I wonder who Saph or Sapphire are?" Sally said musing, this musing was cut short

when the door to the medicle hut opened. Sally looked up and smiled, it was Knuckles

and in his hands were some old photos.

Knuckles walked into the medicle hut in deep thought, he knew that he should know

this T'ana-lii but he didn't know and anyway she had been dead for years.

"Hi sal, so what was that problem earlier?" he asked her with a smile, Sally bit her lip

and pointed at the bed beside her.

Knuckles turned to look at the bed and froze, his world fragmented like a broken

mirror. The floor seemed to fall away from him, he felt the photos slide from his hands

and land gently on the floor. He felt disbelief course through him and his heart beat an

unbelievable speed, he knew that this couldn't T'ana-lii because she was dead. For

one thing T'ana-lii would be sixteen years old by now and not a child, and then he felt

his heart freeze once again.

Around her neck was a necklace and one that was very familiar, it was the silver heart

necklace that T'ana-lii had worn. sally of course had noticed his reaction, Sally then

blinked wondering what was going on here.

Slowly Knuckles with a shaky hand lifted up the heart locket and opened it, inside

ingraved was the name T'ana-lii and also a miniture picture of T'ana-lii and himself

putting flower wreaths on each others heads, it was exactly like one of the pictures he

had dropped on the floor.

Knuckles closed the locket in shock and studied the silvery blue colored echidna, he

knew that it couldn't be her but as he studied her he saw that the body was very mature

but while she was asleep she looked like a child.

"It couldn't be you, could it?" he asked himself his mind numb in shock.

Chapter Six

Sapphier smiled to himself as he came to a bend in the trail that told him that he would

soon be at the place of Ninjas, it had taken him three weeks for his task to be

completed and he was finally done. He rounded the bend and stopped dead, where

the place of Ninjas had been was a smoking ruin and rubble.

"What happened?" he asked himself as he wondered about the ruins, he winced when

he saw the fresh graves and he silently read the names on there markers. He had

known them all but he did not cry, that wasn't the way of the ninjas.

"Sapphier!" a voice suddenly called, he spun around and found himself in a bear hug.

He sighed when he saw that it was Obsidian, the wolfs golden eyes were tearful and

joyfull that his friend had returned alive.

"Where is everyone?" Sapphier asked, he specially wanted to know where Galena

was since they were best friends.

"They are at the sacred place waiting for us, but Galena... well there is something i

have to tell you," Obsidian said and he told him about the swatbot attack and also how

Galena hurt had been found by the softones, it was up to Sapphier to rescue her.

"I will be back once I have retrieved Galena," Sapphier said and Obsidian nodded,

Sapphier started running using his super speed. He once again had to go to knothole

village, sally had Galena.

How long Galena had been there she didn't know, every now and then she would wake

up in a confused muddle and she would call for sapphier hoping that he would be

there. What confused her more was that the softones would call her T'ana-lii and ask

her where she was from, she couldn't tell them about the place of Ninjas and the wound

to her head quickly made her fall asleep again.

For some reason one of the voices was somehow familliar, the voice seemed gentle

yet held strength that few softones held. The voice tickled her brain that told her that

she should know that voice, but once again it was from before the ninjas so she didn't

remember.

Knuckles knew that he was falling in love with T'ana-Lii, since he had first seen her

three weeks ago and he had started to remember his childhood with her that is until

she supposibly died in a terrible accident.

He wondered why T'ana-Lii wasn't responding to her name and also why she wasn't

talking to anyone when she was awake, all she did was call for that Sapphier person.

He sighed and wondered if she remembered him since he basicly looked the same as

he had when they were kids, he just wondered why she didn't look at anyone when she

was totally awake.

"T'ana-Lii how I love thee, though make my heart beat like a drum," he then winced at

the bad poetry he had just said, good thing T'ana-Lii was asleep at the moment so she

wouldn't of heard him.

"Good thing you didn't hear me say that, I'd die of embarrisment," Knuckles said

blushing red, he sighed and left his seat beside T'ana-Lii's cot, he had to get some

sleep tonight.

Chapter Seven

Sapphier slipped between the buildings in knothole village, he gritted his teeth in

frustration wishing that he was anywhere but here. For years after he had recovered his

memory he had lived among the soft ones and he had hated it, now once again his true

identity he had to come here to save Galena.

He remembered the accident that had taken away everything he had known too well

and it still haunted his dreams, when he had been five years old he had fallen down a

cliff and a blow to the head had returned his memory to him. But he had been stuck still

with the softones for he hadn't been able to remember the way home, finally in what

seemed light years later the ninjas had found him and he remembered how to get

home.

Finally he came to the place he knew Galena would be, the medicle hut. He listened at

the door and smiled when he realized that only Galena was inside, he eased open the

door and silently slipped inside. He growled softly when he saw that the softones had

unmasked her, but he let it pass seeing that they had treated her wounds.

"Gale... " he whisphered, her eyelids flickered and she woke up. He frowned now

remembering how far behind the softones medicle technology was, but once Galena

was home she would be better in a few minutes instead of weeks.

"Saph, please get me out of here," she said in a very weak voice, Sapphier carefully

picked her up relieved that he could leave now.

Then the door slammed open, he spun around Galena in his arms to see Knuckles.

After a minute of staring at each other Sapphier sweatdropped, carefully he used all

his skills to vanish from sight with Gale and run for it.

Behind him he heard Knuckles yell and alarms flare, he decided to go through the tree

branchess in case someone actually saw him and he ran even faster.

"Gale hold on, were going to someplace safe," Sapphier wisphered, Galena didn't

answer him since she was out of it.

Knuckles yawned as he entered the medicle hut, he had forgotten his glass there and

had decided to get it before he went to sleep. Then he saw the blue clothed person

and he froze, this unknown mobian was very tall and was wearing the same kind of

clothing that T'ana-lii had worn when they had found her. He also noticed that the

person was holding T'ana-lii, and then before his startled eyes the stranger vanished

from sight.

After three seconds of staring at the now empty spot he finally yelled for help, minutes

later Princess Sally and other freedom fighters ran to him.

"Someone took T'ana-lii Sally, please we have to save her," Knuckles said his eyes

haunted with grief, after remembering T'ana-lii after all these years he didn't want to

loose her again.

"We'll try Knuckles, don't give up hope," Sally said.

Chapter Eight

Sapphier knew that Obsidian was relieved to see him but only the wolves eyes showed

any of his emotion, quickly they headed to the sacred place set to get Galena medicle

attention.

Finally they arrived at the sacred place and they both rushed Galena to the medicle

facility, then Sapphier went to his desinated room and fell into a deep sleep.

He dreamed, dreamed of when he had first met Galena and he had also given her the

name of Galena.

A young blue hedgehog walked into the hospital room in the hospital area of the place

of ninjas, on a bed a silvery blue echidna girl his own age lay, there were bandages

wrapped around her face and other places on her small body.

Earlier a ninja had brought her here after hearing her parents trying to find a way to get

rid of her after a terrible explosion had struck her blind, the doctors here were unable to

give her sight back but they were using all there skills so that she would only have a few

scars on her face when she was fully healed.

The echidna stirred and finally awoke, Sapphier walked over and sat in the chair

beside the hospital bed.

"Hi, my name is Sapphier whats your name?" he asked her, she turned her bandaged

wrapped face and eyes towards him and the bottom part of her face that he could see

frowned.

"I... I... I... don't remember, I don't remember anything," she said, to him her voice

sounding small and frightened.

"How about I give you a new name, that is till you remember your real one, and we can

be best friends since were both the same age?" Sapphier asked the echidna, the

echidna smiled and daid okay in a timid voice.

"Then I name you Galena after the gem, its fits you since your fur colouring looks like

the gems colouring," Sapphier said and then the two children giggled, the echidna now

named Galena smiled and fell back to sleep.

Sapphier stayed there till a doctor told him that he had to leave, Sapphier left now

happy that he had made a new friend.

Sapphier woke up smiling, looking out his bedroom window he saw that it was only

midnight. He rolled over in his bed smiling happy that he still had his best friend, he

went back to sleep.

The master of all ninjas sighed as he looked at the night sky, he had never told anyone

that sapphier was his son but he loved him and he even loved Galena like a daughter.

He had never told Galena about her past and he hoped that he would never have to,

her past was so very sad.

Galenas parents had never told anyone that they had recovered her after the explosion,

that is since the softones technology would still leave her blind and terribly scared. A

ninja had heard there plans for getting rid of her and had seen the raw potential in the

child, letting nothing to go to chance the ninja had taken her and now Galena lived

happily.

He sighed again wishing life was simple, but it wasn't.

Chapter Nine

Morning was not Galena's favorite time of day, she prefured waking up at noontime

when the most cheerful people weren't about. But she got up anyway when the sun was

about to rise into the sky and the birds began there singing, today she was out of the

medicle facility and already she was planning to work the kinks out of her body.

She got into her ninja garb and then the only thing people could see of her were her

light blue eyes, she gathered her favourite weapons and went into the training room

where everyone could practice.

Already there were others here, she nodded to towards there general direction. She

started with general warmups till her body moved gracefully and smoothly, then she

used her weapons against a practice dummy she senced with her sixth sence.

"Hi Gale," a male voice said, galena smiled as Sapphier walked into the room. Like

herself Sapphier was not a morning person but resigned himself to get up before the

sun rose, he had once told her that when he got up he always wanted to kill the poor

annoying birds who sung outside his windows because he hated anything cheerful

when he woke up.

"Hi Saph, whats up?" Galena asked him as she heard him lightly walk up to her, his

breathing was slow and she had to listen hard to hear it. Around him she felt a feeling

of excitement, she knew he was planning something for today.

"How would you like to go on an adventure?" he asked her and she felt a warm glow of

happines from him, he wanted her to go.

"Of course I'll go Saph, who else would actually go on your crazy adventures," she said

in a fake nasty voice, they joked about these adventures when ever they planned one.

"Well then Gale lets go, I just got the map to the great tomb. The master said we an

look for the great library ledgend says it holds, remember togeather we can find

anything," he said and they both laughed togeather, then they both headed for

adventure.

Knuckles slung his backpack onto his back, he was going searching for T'ana-lii. He

knew with a gut feeling that he would find her in the ruins of the great tomb, the tomb

was found near the ruins of the ancients. He wondered how he knew this and he

frowned, he would figure it out later when he wasn't so worried about her.

"Knuckles be careful," sally said from the door of the hut, Knuckles looked at her and

smiled for her concern.

"Thanks sally I'll be careful, I'm just going to be searching for a few days and then I have

to return to the floating island," Knuckles said and she sighed suddenly looking sad, he

knew that once again she was thinking of what could of happened to Sonic and

wishing that she could go search for him also.

"I know Knuckles but everytime a friend leaves Knothole even to hike I now fear that

they are going to dissapear, i just wish I knew what had happened to Sonic so I

wouldn't be scared like this," Sally said with a slight frown, Knuckles took her hand and

gave it a slight squeeze of comfort.

"Don't worry Sally I'll be back," he said with a smile, she smiled back.

"I count on it," Sally said, she then turned around and vanished from his sight.
