Chapter Twenty-one
Sapphier ran through the flaming remains of Knothole village a
multitude of memories coming to his mind, he had grown up here before
becoming himself again. It actually hurt him to see it in this state,
but as he came nearer to where Knuckles was he was happy to see the
people he loved safe.
He felt Tails shift on his back, the small two tailed fox was
overjoyed to see Sally and the other freedom fighters.
"Aunt Sally!" Tails shouted over joyed, this caught everyone's
attention and caused them to look this way.
***
Sally was tired, needed a bath and wanted to sleep a week away.
She had never thought Robotnik would attack knothold like this, today
she had seen close friends from childhood murdered as they ran for
safety.
She had been totally surprised when Knuckles had appeared with his
strangely garbed allies, he had only told her that they would help them
to save the village and there people.
"Aunt Sally!" a familiar voice shouted, it was a voice she had
feared that she had thought she would never hear again. Overjoyed she
turned to see Tail, the young fox was on the back of one of the
strangely garbed people.
"Sapphier about time you got here," Knuckles called seeing the
two, Sally gave Knuckles a quick look seeing that the echidna knew this
one by name.
"I found this young one being chased by Swatbots, he got hurt so I
brought him back here," the garbed person said in a calm unemotional and
genderless voice, it sent shivers down her spine hearing any voice like
that.
"Sally this is Sapphier, he brought his people here," Knuckles
said walking up to this Sapphier, he then helped Tails off Sapphiers
back and set him down on a large rock.
"Nice to meet you Sapphier, who are you people... I have never met
mobians like you before?" Sally asked, looking around she saw that the
swatbots were all destroyed... but Robotnik had escaped once again.
She noticed that the rest of the strangely gathered people were
leaving, they seemed to be vanishing into thin air.
"We are the ninjas of Mobius princess Sally, but remember... just
because you haven't seen us before doesn't mean we haven't been near and
watching," Sapphier said in the same voice as before, and then to Sallys
shock he vanished right before her eyes.
"We just remain invisible," Sapphiers voice whispered, Sally
gulped.
"Don't worry this is normal, he likes to do things like this,"
Knuckles said at her stunned expression, Tails giggled as she gave the
red echidna a dark glare.

Chapter Twenty-Two
Sapphier watched the freedom fighters gather their things from the
shadows, the soft ones were tired and hurt from their ordeal with
Robotnik. In a nearby hill there dead ones were buried with care, yet
each one knew that this was there last time here.
'This was there safe haven, I wonder where they will go now' he
thought his garb hiding his frown, after the attack, Galeena, a couple
other ninjas and himself had decided to stay behind to keep watch on
there soft ones cousins.
'They don't have much, most of their supplies and belongings were
destroyed in the attack' Sapphier thought with narrowed eyes, he looked
around silently spotting the other ninjas even if they were invisible to
everyone else.
'Why must the killing and destruction go on, why must there be so
much evil' he thought with a silent sigh, it was one question he knew
that could not be answered.
***
Tails sulked, well actually sulking was the only thing he really
could do. First Sonic had vanished and was probably dead, then Knothole
had been attacked and people he knew killed and he had a broken ankle
that stopped him from doing anything.
He knew that Sally was scared that something would happen to him,
but at his age he was at the stage that death would never happen to him
(even if it came awfully close).
What he truly wanted to do was go find that Ninja called Sapphier,
Sapphier was so cool in the way he had saved the two tailed fox mobian.
But Sally knew him to well and had forbidden him, at the minute Knuckles
was too far away to ask questions about Sapphier so he was sulking.
'I wonder how he just vanished like that or defeated the swatbot
so fast, he's as cool as Sonic' Tails thought, in his mind he put
Sapphier next to Sonic on his hero pedestal.
"Ready to go Tails?" a voice asked, startled the two tailed mobian
turned slightly to see that Knuckles was there.
"I guess Knuckles, where are we going?" he asked, he was curious
about that since he didn't know about any other places they could go.
"The floating Island," Knuckles said simply, Tails almost fell
over in shock.
"Really, were going to live on your island," Tails said excitement
racing through his body, but of course his excitement quickly left as he
remembered that today people he had known most of his life had died.
"Don't worry Tails, the pain of there deaths will always be there
but as time goes on it will lessen," Knuckles said softly, as a tear
slipped down Tails face he could only hope what Knuckles said was true.

Chapter Twenty-Three
The traveling to the floating island was slow, many were hurt and
it was hard work carrying all they needed.
Fear still ran through there bodies, there home for many years had
been attacked and they feared that there future home may share the same
fate.
Tails sighed, because of his ankle older mobians were carrying
himÉ. It was boring. If his ankle was fine he would probably be
exploring the are ahead, but he had nothing to do.
Looking ahead he caught sight of Knuckles, the red echidna was
talking to Amy rose.
'I wonder, how does one meet a Ninja' he thought, his eyes glazed
over as he fell into a daydream. He dreamed of becoming a Ninja himself,
it would be so cool to just vanish like that.
He shook himself out of that daydream, it had been so cool to meet
that Ninja SapphireÉ but there was no way he himself could become one.
'I wonder where they went, they just seemed to vanish into
nothingness after the battle' he thought with curiosity, he sighed and
continued to look around at the area around them and trying to ignore
the jolts of pain he felt in his ankle every time he moved.
'Sonic, where are you when I really need you' Tails thought sadly,
it was a time like this that he really needed the speedy blue hedgehogÉ
never realizing how close his friend was.
***
Hidden in the trees above Sapphire wrinkled his nose and quickly
stopped himself from sneezing, he gave a silent sigh of relief.
A sneeze would give his position away, once again he felt his legs
going to sleepÉ these soft ones took much time moving and it was boring
to watch.
'I shouldn't think I like, when I lost my memory I thought myself
as one of themÉ I have a lot of respect for them.
Surviving so well in the conditions Robotnik caused, not many
mobians can say that' he thought sadly, in his mind he saw an image
Uncle Chuck.
Well not his real uncle, his adoptive parents were related to him,
so in adoption he was relatedÉ at least as far as he thought.
'We'll guard them till there safely on the floating island, after
that they are on there own' he thought, while it hurt him to leave the
soft ones he had grown to love as Sonic he knew they had to leave.
'I wonder, will this be the last time my past collides with my
future' he thought, he shrugged and signaled to the other ninjas who
agreed with his plans.

Chapter Twenty-Four
Bored, he was so board. Already while guarding the soft one he had
cleaned his Kusari-Gama (Chain and sickle) and shined his shuriken
(throwing blades), as it was he was starting to wish something would
happenÉ. And that was a bad thing.
It was at that moment something had happened, Bunny had tripped
and banged into a tree. Sapphire winced as the tree shook, then
sweatdropped as a garbed figure fell out of the tree.
'Must of just graduated' he thought, as it was only young ninjas
just graduated there classes would fall out of a tree if that happened.
Everyone seemed to freeze as the ninja hit the ground, Sapphire
grinned and got comfortable.
He would let the young one sweat it out a bit before he came to
save them, sometimes being in charge was fun.
***
Bunny blinked as she looked at the ninja that she had accidentally
knocked out of a tree, it was rubbing it head with a white gloved hands.
It was dressed in completely white, how it had remained hidden dressed
in that bright color she had no clue.
"Ow," the ninja said, Bunny could only agree for falling like that
from a tree would hurt.
"Excuse me, what were you doing in that tree?" she asked, the
ninja froze and gave a very nervous laugh.
"ErrrÉ Sapphire!" the Ninja shouting the last in a panic, the next
thing everyone knew a blue garbed figure was beside the first.
"Crystal what did I say about staying out of sight, now scat,"
Sapphire said in his usually genderless emotionless voice, the white
garbed one nodded and vanished. That done Sapphire turned to face them,
he blinked at the strange looks he was given.
"Sapphire what are you doing here still, I thought you all left?'
knuckles asked walking up, Bunny looked behind her and saw that most of
the mobians had gathered near.
"Most of us did, we decided to keep an eye on you and keep you all
safe," Sapphire explained, the echidna nodded at the explanation.
"I guess, but how in the world did that ninja fall out of the
tree?" Knuckles asked, Bunny also wanted to knowÉ but it had been funny
to see that white ninja so panicked at being discovered.
"Crystal is new, just finished its training. New Ninjas are still
a bit clumsy, that's all," Sapphier said, then before they could ask
anything else he vanished before their eyes.
'OkayyyyÉ that was interesting, at least we know were safe from
attack. But I'm not sure I trust those Ninjas, but that ninja falling
was funny' she thought with a grin, with nothing left for entertainment
the mobians started walking againÉ they still had a long way to go.
