Chapter Seventeen
It was yet another beautiful day on the floating island, there was a
nice breeze that swept up leaves making them seem to dance in the air.
Puffy white clouds graced the sky while the sky was a bright blue, as before
it was a beautiful day.
In a meadow on the island a red echidna the guardian of this island
lay, his purple eyes were half closed and made him look like he was half
asleep. In truth he was wide awake but deep in thought, his thoughts were a
confused whirl of his time with the ninjas.
In that time he had discovered so much about a world he had hought
he had known, and what more he found out that most of what he knew
about Sonic was a lie... but at least they were still friend.
With a brief frown he held up the dagger the ninjas had given him, it
was easy enough to carry and use. The blade part was a silver type of metal
he didn't reconize and light and sharp, the hilt was made of some strange
material with a beautifully engraved crest on it... the creat of the ninjas.
'In stories Ninjas were evil and murderers, but in truth they are our
greatest allies... but they have kept there existance secret since the
beginning' Knuckles thought, with a deep sigh the echidna sat up.
'Sapphier told me not to tell anyone he is alive, anyway most belive he
is dead anyway. How could I explain to them that Sonic is alive and healthy,
the mobian they knew is practicly gone' Knuckles thought with a deeper
frown, it was at that moment something wet splattered onto his nose.
Startled he looked up, while deep in his thoughts rain clouds had
quickly gathered above blocking the sun. Quickly he got up and ran to
shelter, a few seconds after getting there it started to pore.
'I have to go back to see Sapphier again, I have so many questions left
to ask that can't be answered here' Knuckled thought as the rain fell, and
also there was a certain someone else there he would like to see.
He blushed as he remembered what Sapphier had said to him before
he left, could it be true that Galeena liked him.
'Please let it be true, I love her so much it hurts' Knuckles thought,
closing his eye a single tear fell down his furred face.
***
Sapphier was bored, there was absolutely nothing to do today... and no
one really wanted the perfect Ninja to get bored. Young in his ninja life he
had started to play pranks when he became stir crazy bored, he was near
that point and that was making everyone else nervous. Really it hadn't been
his fault that Cobalt had broken its leg from one of his pranks, and that had
been the only time anyone got hurt.
'There has got to be something to do' sapphier thought glaring out his
window, at that moment there was a thunder and lightning storm going on...
Ninjas didn't go outside on these type of days because people might spot
them easier.
___________________________________________________________________
Chapter Eighteen
The storm had finally stopped, a small drizzle still filled the air and a
beautiful rainbow filled the air. Sapphier smiled as he stepped out the
building, even though it was still drizzling he wouldn't go stir crazy anymore.
Looking back he noticed that a few ninjas were looking at him
nervously, they were probably hoping he wouldn't go into prank mode still.
"Hey Galeena get out here, some fresh air will do you good," he called
back into the complex, a few minutes later the blind ninja stood beside him.
"Well?" she question, he blinked and looked at her.
"Well what?" he asked her, this was a game of theres.
"What do we do now," she said, he grinned even though she wouldn't
be able to see it.
"We go bother the trainees," he said with a snicker, she nodded and
they both went to torture.... er tease the young ones who couldn't yet control
there emotions very well.
***
Knuckled groaned in exaustion, he hadn't realized how out of shape he
was till he had started his hike to the place the ninjas lives.
It had stopped raining quite awhile ago and the sky was clear of any
clouds, the ground was still moist and he had to be careful not to slip in any
loose earth or mud.
He had done that too many time already.
***
A younge ninja on patrol spotted him, at first the ninja was ready to
knock him unconcious until he saw the gift Sapphier had giving him.
Knuckles could tell that the ninja was very young because he or was it
she was filled with energy and excitement.
Fron the ninja he learned that this was its first time on patrol, if he
did good he would be allowed more patrol duties and then have better
missions.
"Patrol duty must be boring," he told the ninja, the ninja who wore
complete black snorted slightly. At the moment the ninja was leading him to
the ninjas home, it was faster then following the map and he wouldn't get
lost.
"Not really, all kind of interesting things happen on patrol," the ninja
told him, Knuckles smiled slightly at this.
"Aren't you suppose to be on patrol," a new and familliar voice said,
the ninja next to him stiffened and they both turned around.
"Sir, yes Sapphier sir," the younge ninja said seeing the blue garbed
ninja standing there, Knuckles wasn't sure but he could of sworn he saw
amusement in Sapphiers eyes.
"I'll let you off this timebecause you were guiding Knuckles here, now
back to patrol.... I'll speak to you more later," Sapphier said in an
unemotional voice, the young ninja nodded and vanished into the shadows.
"Hi sapphier, I hope I didn't get that ninja in trouble," Knuckles said
truthfully, to his surprise Sapphier gave a small laugh.
"No hes not in touble Knuckles, but he has to remember to stay on
patrol... he should of called someone else not on duty," Sapphier explained
calmly, Knuckles blinked and shrugged.
"Okay I guess, anyway I came to visit... well I have more questions to
ask you,' Knuckles told him, Sapphier nodded and they both continued to
walk to the complex.

Chapter Nineteen
Two mobians sat around a small table, on was a red echidna and the
otehr was a blue hedgehog in ninja garb minus the head parts. In front of
them was glasses of crystal clear water, both were still untouched.
"Thats the best i can explain it Knuckles, I know alot of our history... it
would take months to find out the rest in our library," Sapphier told the soft
one in front of him, Knuckles frowned then shrugged.
"I guess, but your knowledge on your peoples past is impressive....
especially considering how bad you memory was as Sonic," Knuckles teased,
Sapphier only nodded reconizing it as a joke.
"Yes I did have a very bad memory, but alas poor Sonic died in such a
sad way," Sapphier said in a fake over dramatized voice, Knuckles hearing
this could only laugh.
"SAPPHIER!" a voice screamed, startled the two turned to see a very
younge ninja in training run into the room.
"Calm down, tell me whats wrong?" Sapphier asked narrowing his blue
eyes, in the light of the room Knuckles could see the glimmer of emerald
green around there edges.
"Knothole village is under attack, Robotnik has discovered it," the
younge ninja said quickly, at those words the two felt fear flutter through
there hearts.
"Sapphier i have to get there quick, i know you ninjas don't get
involved in this type of thing so please at least get me there quickly,"
Knuckles pleaded of the vlue garbed ninja, to his surprised Sapphier placed a
gloved hand on his shoulder a serious look on his face.
"Knuckles the crest on that dagger makes you our allie, Knothole is
that last safehaven for mobiand from Robotnik. It is our duty to help save
the mobiand there from his evil, we will all fight with you," sapphier told
him, Knuckles could only look at the hedgehog in surprise.
"Robotnik killed some of our people and we owe him for that, Knuckles
don't worry," a calm voice said, startled he looked to the door of the room he
saw a familiar garbed ninja. His heart leapt at the sight of her, he loved her
as T'ana-Lii and as Galeena who she was known as now.
"Don't worry, we will arrive in plenty of time," Sapphier said pulling
on his the rest of his ninja garb, with these on no one could reconize him.... or
realize that he had once been Sonic the hedgehog.
***
Before knuckles knew it he was only seconds from knothole
surrounded by ninjas, he knew that before battle normal mobians would be
rolling in emotions that everyone could feel... but the ninjas were
emotionless before the battle.
Knuckles gulped as he looked at the fearless warriors around him,
they made him feel useless. Looking around he spotted Galeena and
sapphier, the two were like emotionless statues from what he saw.
Finally sapphier came over to him and outlines the battle plan, he had
no idea how they would pull it off... but dispite his fears he knew that
Sapphier and the ninjas would pull it off.
'Of course I'll be helping to' Knuckles thought narrowing his eyes, for
teh fight they had giving him a few light weapons if he needed to use them...
and he wanted to use them against Robotnik.

Chapter Twenty
He was running, his breath came out in hit puffs. His lungs felt as if
they were on fire, he really wished that Robotnik had chosen another day to
attack Knothole village directly.
Tails had noticed right away that there fight wasn't going as good as
before, he knew that without Sonic it was slowly becoming that of a loosing
battle.
'If Sonic was still alive or hadn't vanished we'd be okay, I only wish
he was here now' Tails thought tears in his light blue eyes, he missed the
blue hedgehog terribly.
He took a quick glance behind him and wimpered, the two swatbots
that were chasing him were getting much closer.
'I have to get away, I can't get caught... I don't want to be robotocized'
Tails cried in his mind, it was at that moment he felt his foot catch on
something. His eyes widened as he heard a bone shattering 'crack', with a
painful wimper he fell to the ground and cluthed at his broken ankle.
"IN THE NAME OF DOCTOR ROBOTNIK RULER OF MOBIUS YOU ARE
UNDER ARREST, RESISTANCE IN FUTILE (I had to write the last part,
swatbots remind me of Borgs... lol)," The swatbots droned as they closed up
on him, tails closed his eyes and began to cry like a little child scared out of
his wits of his upcoming fate you would too.
~Swish~
At that moment hearing that strange sound Tails eyes snapped open,
to his startlement a blue garbed figure stood in front of him a strange curved
sword in his hands.
Tails would of fallen to the ground if he hadn't been there already as
the two swatbots exploded, now he could see the swordstrikes that had
destroyed them.
"Can you walk?" an emotionless and genderless voice asked, startled
Tails realized that the blue cloaked person was leaning over him and
speaking to him also. He found himself looking into Sapphier eyes with
emerald green around the edges, the eyes were strange to look at.
"Can you walk?" the figure asked again and Tails realized he had been
staring at the person, he could not tell what type of mobian this person was.
"No, I tripped breaking my ankle," he said truthfully, those eyes
looked at him nothing showing of the owners thoughts.
"I'll carry you then, I must bring you to Knuckles," the unknown
mobian said, Tails blinked at the name but let the person place him
piggyback style on there back.
"Who are you, and how do you know Knuckles?" he asked, for a
minute the person didn't answer as he began to job back to knothole at a
reasonable pace.
"I am Sapphier, I know Knuckles since we are an allie of his... we came
when he needed our help to save your people," the person said, the
answered some of the two tailed foxes questions but not all of them.
"What do you mean by we?" Tails asked, he felt awe as they came to
knothole finally and he saw more people dressed like Sapphier destroying
swatbots with ease... Robotnik was now on the run.
"We are the ninjas of mobius," Sapphier said, Tails could say nothing
more but felt relieved when he spotted knuckles in the fray of the fight.
