Chapter Ten

      The ruins of the great Tomb were a dreary place, Sapphier could see

that in many crumbled corners of the tomb birds nested. He looked at the

map of the ruins, with a couple more coridors the two of them would be at

the entrance to the ledgendary great library.

      "How much farther Saph?" Galeena asked, Sapphier turned to look at

his friend in adventure. Galeena was a ninja like himself, she was a silvery

blue echidna with large blue eyes and her ninja garb was a silvery blue color

also. One of the things hard to tell about her was her age since she was

pretty short for her age and that she was an echidna under her garb, the

thing others never expected was that she was blind and had been for years.

      "Probably a few minutes Gale," he answered, the two of them since

they were alone were letting there voices sound like there respected genders

but if anyone was with them you wouldn't be able to tell anything else about

them.

      It was then that the two of them heard the sound of someone else,

quickly the two of them hid and waited to see who it was... or in Galeenas

case sence who it was.

      'Damn' Sapphier thought when he saw who it was, it was someone he

had been friends with when he had been called Sonic. It was Knuckles the

guardian of the floatng island, Sapphier frowned wondering what the hell

Knuckles was doing here.

***

      Knuckles sighed as he walked through the ruins, after hours of

searching he wondered why he had thought he would find T'ana-lii here of

all places.

      "Why the hell did I think I would find her here, if only that blue

garbed person hadn't taken her," Knuckles muttered darkly to himself, he

sighed and then froze where he was standing. He didn't know why but he

felt as if he was being watched, once the older guardians had told him that

the guardians of the island could sometimes feel things that are invisible to

normal sight.

      "Great now I'm being paranoid," Knuckles said rolling his eyes, then

with a sigh he began walking again.

***

      When Knuckles began to walk the direction the two ninjas planned to

go Sapphier realized that he had to stop knuckles, acting quickly he silently

went behind Knuckles and knocked him out. Then he tied the red echidna

up, if Knuckles woke up he didn't want him to get free anytime soon.

      "You didn't have to hit him that hard Sapphier," Galeena said and she

let herself be seen by normal sight and so did he, he gave her an evil glare

not that she could see it.

      "Because red boy here has a hard head, and when he wakes up he'll

want to find us right away... this way we'll probably be long gone by the

time he comes to," Sapphier said, she nodded now in agreement and they

continued on there way.

      "You know what Sapphier, I don't know why but that soft one echidna

seems familliar for someone... as if I met him long ago in that time I can't

remember," Galeena said, Sapphier frowned under his cowl but didn't say

anything.

Chapter Eleven

      Knuckles woke up with a huge headache, he tried to move but found

that he was tied up very tightly with a very strong rope. He grunted when a

stone from the ceiling dropped and hit his side, this wasn't how he had

expected to spend his time.

      "This really isn't my day," he muttered in an annoyed voice, his hands

were behind his back and after a few minutes of moving his body in strange

positions he got then in front of himself.

      "What now?" he asked himself as he managed to sit up, he licked his

dry lips and wished he could reach his backpack which held his water bottle.

He sweatdropped when a rat appeared and squeaked in an annoyed voice at

him, he guessed that he was in its favorite spot.

      "I've got to find her, this might be my last chance," Knuckled said and

he sat up with a groan trying to ignor how sore his body was, he glared at

the rope wishing it wasn't there.

      "T'ana-lii please be okay," he wispered and he hoped with all his heart

she was okay, in his minds eye he saw a very hazy memory of her return. He

sighed and closed his eyes, he had to gather all his energy to escape these

ropes.

      'T'ana-lii' he thought as he opened his eyes once again, gritting his

teeth he pulled his wrists apart ignoring the pain the ropes caused.

      {SNAP}

      He smiled when he saw that the ropes had finally snapped, quickly he

rubbed his circalation back into his wrists. His tounge was sticking slightly

out of his mouth as he untied the rest of himself from the rope, it returned

inside his mouth once he was totally free.

      'Whoever tied that rope is good, if I wasn't so strong I would still be

trapped' Knuckles thought with a frown, he knew that he would have to be

more careful now since he had already been knocked out once.

      "Maby I will even find out what has happened to Sonic," Knuckles

wispered and he thought about the blue hedgehog who had been his friend,

he knew that if he found out what had happened to Sonic it would ease

many mobians hearts a little.

      'Lets do it to it' Knuckles thought borrowing a motto from a friend he

missed, then he started in the direction he felt he had to go.

***

      Sapphier froze as a strange feeling entered him, he didn't know why

but he had a feeling that he had to put on the full ninja look on again. He

sighed silently wishing that he had time to losing up more often, but the life

of a ninja was full of Danger and he could never give anything away.

      "Saph, whats wrong?" Galeena asked and he knew she had felt his

mood change, she was very sensituive to these things.

      "Gale feel the air, we have to be very careful now... or I have a feeling

our people might be revealed even more then ever before," he wispered to

her, she paused and he knew that she was feeling the world around her with

those extra sences she had.

      "The soft one we tied up earlier has escaped Sapphier, if we meet up

with him again I suggest we abandon this adventure," she said and he

agreed, then as one they seemed to vanish into the shadows of the ruins.

***

      Knuckles knew that he was getting closer to T'ana-lii, it was like a

buzzing in his heart. He squinted into the darkened halls of the ruins, he

knew that once this place had been a beautiful city thousands of years ago.

Chapter Twelve

      Sapphier sighed and groaned slightly, he was soaking wet and his

blind friend was laughing knowing that he was disgrunted at such a small

thing.

      "It's not that funny," he grumbled and he glared at the ceiling, there

was a large crack that had just formed that the water had fallen from.

      "It is, you just can't understand it at this moment," she said and he

knew that she was grinning, he sighed and realized that the water was

soaking through his ninja garb.

      "Aww shut up Gale, and now I have to take these off to change into

my spare ninja garb," he said and gave a fake upset sniff, she gave a small

laugh that twinkled like crystals.

***

      Knuckled walked carefully throught the ruins, once he knew that place

had been beautiful in his ancestors times... but now it was decaying rubble.

      "The history is lost for this place, I wonder who lived here so long

ago," Knuckles said to himself, he sighed feeling slightly depressed in this

place.

      It was then that he heard the sound of someone laughing, the laugh

was crystal like but he would reconize it anywhere. He also heard another

voice, he didn't reconize it because the person spoke to low.

      'T'ana-lii is here, that must mean my quest is almost over... and maby

I can even find out what happened to Sonic' he thought excitement in his

heart, he licked his lips and quickly headed in the direction he had heard

T'ana-lii laugh and the other voice.

***

      Sapphier gave a small sigh as he pulled as the soaking wet ties so that

he could pull of the hood that hid his face, thankfully he had an extra ninja

garb... in case this one got ruined or something else.

      "Hurry up Saph, remember we only have a cartain amount of time for

this adventure," Galena pointed out, Sapphier rolled his eyes even though he

knew that this gesture was lost on the blind ninja.

      "Patience my young friend," he said in his most annoying voicem she

groaned at his humour. With a grin he pulled off his hood, cold air rushed

across his blue fur.

      "Sonic!" a voice called, startled Sapphier spun around after hearing the

name the soft ones had given him.

      "Knuckles," he said in surprise.

***

      Knuckles had just rounded the corner to see someone he had never

thought he would see again, the blue ninja that had taken T'ana-lii was no

other then the long missing Sonic. He felt his heart skip a beat when that

hood came totally off, his face paled and he did the only things he could

thing of.

      "Sonic!" he called, startled the blue hedgehog (who had grown a lot

since they had last seen each other) turned, Sonic stared at him in shock.

      "Knuckles," Sonic said in a surprised voice, finally his mind couldn't

take it any longer and he fainted and the last thing he felt was someone

catching him.

***

      "Sorry Gale looks like vacation is over early," Sapphier said after he

had caught Knuckles, he looked at the red mobian and sighed.

      "We will have to take him back to base with us," Galena said, Sapphier

agreed. After getting a good grip on Knuckles and Galena was hanging onto

his back he began to run, using his super speed they soon arived at the

sacred place.
