Part 2: Ballard of Ghost
Julie-Su and Lara-Su sat patiently in the grand meeting room of the Brotherhood. Paintings of all of the past guardians sat on the walls. Suddenly the door on the north wall opened and Rouge came in with three mugs. She walked over and gave the warm tea to the two and then sat down. "Sorry about the wait. Knux has some business to take care of. Ever since the dingoes moved in we had to keep close watch on them."
"That's okay. Waiting never killed anyone." Julie-Su said taking a sip of her drink.
"Sounds like something Blade would have said." Rouge noted.
"So how's Tina doing?" Lara-Su asked.
"She's doing great. The signs of Knux's stubbornness are there but then again she came from two stubborn people."
"I wouldn't say stubborn." The group noticed Knuckles walking in. He had his vest on along with Hawkins's hat. He also had on some jeans. "More like a will that drives us never to lose." Knuckles sat next to his wife Rouge and kissed her. "So what do you need Julie?" He asked.
"Well, I need your help Knuckles. Ever since Blade's death I've had strange dreams of some place. It's always the same place and-" Julie-Su went on and described the dream, the whole time Knuckles nodded. He scratched his chin and listened very carefully. "And that's the dream."
"I see." Knuckles got up and walked over to the paintings of his ancestors. He touched the one of Edmund and sighed. "I know may know this place you speak of Julie. I haven't been there since Chaos rose."
"Where is it Knux?" Rouge asked looking at him from the table.
"It's the temple of my ancestors in the Mystic Ruins. It's the very place where the Master Emerald use to reside."
"Then let's go there." Lara-Su said standing up.
"It's to dangerous Lara." Knuckles stated turning to the table again. "The temple was built with traps that are still active. That and it's old and it could cave in. The place actually leads to another world in which the traps are strongest. If the temple collapsed while you were inside then you would be trapped in there forever."
"If we don't go Knuckles then I may never be able to sleep peacefully again. Someone is trying to contact me and I need to see who." Julie-Su then paused. "It may even be Blade."
"Julie." Rouge began taking her friend's hands in her own. "He died."
"But we all know that Blade is no ordinary echidna. He's survived time, space, and death before."
"That's true Julie but not even Blade could communicate through dreams. He was announced dead by the hospitals and those were the hospitals up here."
"But I felt him!" Julie-Su protested.
Knuckles froze. "You mean, but that's not possible." Knuckles shook his head. "If you felt Blade in the Soultouch then he must be somewhere." Knuckles sighed loudly. "You can go and investigate the ruins."
"Aren't you coming?" Lara-Su asked.
"I'd love to come but with these stupid dingoes moving in we have to keep them in check where they belong. Sorry."
"I also need to help not only with the dingoes but with Tina's training. She's turning fourteen next week and then she'll be the guardian."
"Well thank you and good luck."
An hour later and mother and daughter were back on surface grounds they began packing provisions needed for the adventure.
Once the arrived they came to the Mystic Ruins they found Tails waiting for them. "Hey gals." Tails no longer sounded like a kid but rather an adult since he was twenty-eight. "Knuckles called and asked I helped."
"Help indeed." Lara-Su said looking the kitsune up and down. He was a few inches shorter then Sonic but he was quite the catch now a days. He dressed more like a teen with loose pants and a loose shirt. He had a backpack on as well as a hat.
"Focus Lara." Julie-Su said smiling at her daughter. "Clad you are here to help."
"I'd do anything for friends and this will benefit me as I can actually explore the ruins plus this is for Blade." Tails hiked the backpack up some. "Let's get going."
Tails was slightly shorter then Julie-Su but his muscles made up for it. He could fight Sonic with ease while people like Knuckles were out of the question.
"I've been through the Mystic Ruins over and back again but I never entered the ruins of the echidnas." Tails said getting a conversation up as the three walked through the forest.
"Why not?" Lara-Su asked as she walked next to him.
"Because to be honest, I'm scared of the ruins. Big said he and Froggy have heard some strange voices come from the ruins. He told me it's almost soothing as it sounds holy. He also claims that figures move at night, ghostly figures."
"That could be possible. The ruins are home to lost spirits." Julie-Su noted.
The three stood at the steps of the ruins. The odd purple vortex hung in front of the entrance inviting them to come in.
"Here we are." Tails said. "This is our last chance to turn back."
"I must go on." Julie-Su stated walking in.
"Where my mom goes I go." Lara-Su followed.
Tails chuckled to himself. "Go figure. Blade's wife and daughter indeed." Tails then took on a serious attitude and followed.
Once the three went through the vortex they ended up in a really old looking temple. The stone's looked fresh but were of old make. The three began walking along quietly. Once they came to an intersection they looked about. Three other routes but which one?
"Which way do we go?" Lara-Su asked.
Julie-Su looked about while Tails drew the a map out on a piece of paper so they could find their way out later. Suddenly Julie-Su's head popped up. She casually walked on through the passage without looking to the left or right. The other two followed without question. They passed on through many halls and many stair cases that wound up ward and downward. Finally they came out onto a balcony. It had a roof but no railing. It was more like a hall missing a one wall. It overlooked the forest of the Mystic Ruins.
"We should camp here while we still have some light left." Tails said finishing the map and putting it away in the backpack.
"You're right." Julie-Su said nodding
Julie-Su laid there kicking and turning about. Suddenly she felt something touch. Her and she heard the voice of someone that could sooth her with ease. "Calm Julie. We'll meet soon." Julie-Su shot up right breathing hard. She got up and began to wonder into the ruins alone. She could feel nothing but a cold tingle in her as something kept touching her. She then entered a large room and gasped. It was a ballroom and in there was tons of people dressed in formal wear. They were talking and dancing. All of a sudden they hushed as a figure emerged at the top of the stair case. The person had the uniform of a pirate captain. It was quite dirty looking yet the people murmured good things of the person.
Once the person reached the bottom of the stairs Julie-Su could see who it was and gasped aloud.
