Chapter 11
Malous and Trillias met up with two other dragons in flight. One was blue with green eyes and the other was black with ruby red eyes.
"Hello, Malous. Nice time for a flight, don't you think?"The blue one asked the silver dragon, completely oblivious to her surroundings.
"No, not with destruction about, Mina," came the thunderous reply.
The group of dragons was about a mile from the glowing Station Square when they crashed into an invisible barrier. They fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"What the hell?!" Spark shouted and dusted himself off as he got up.
"Skie, do you know what is causing this?" Trillias asked the black dragon.
Skie sniffed the air infront of the shield.
"It seems to be created by Chaos energy. I can't exactly tell since it's been three thousand years that this last happened."
Sonic, Shadow and Jenny glared at Knuckles. Jasmine and Spark glared, too, eventhough they didn't know why. A red dragon, with violet eyes, landed beside them. It was quite small compared to Malous. It stood over Knuckles, who had been thrown off in the crash with the others, and leered at the guardian echidna.
***********************************************
(P.O.V: Knuckles)
It stood with its head bent at eye level with me. I could feel searing heat coming from its nostrils. I terrified, I could barely move an inch. It reminded me off my first meeting with Tikal in the forests of Angel Island.
[Flashback]
I was resting peacefully by the river Anthus when I caught my first glimse of her. I saw her delicately colored peach fur. The blue sappire in her headband reflected the sun's light. She disappeared seconds after. I glided over the river to investigate. Her spear was flung right infront of me and I stepped back to avoid it.
"Leave this place, Guardian. Now or else my people will find you and kill you. You are not to leave the Master Emerald unguarded," I remember those exact words escape her lips,hardly above a whisper.
She retrieved her spear and we made eye contact quickly. I saw in her eyes, the entire world and the echidna civilization. She leapt into the bushes and spoke three words. "I am Tikal."
I had nothing but her on my mind for days, her blue eyes haunting me. Those eyes the color of sky on a clear day. I was so lovesick, the Chaotix had to watch over the emerald. I didn't trust them a whole lot, more I distrusted Vector.
[End Flashback]
The red dragon calling my name brought me crashing back to reality. I stared at it in-what I thought- annoyance. The dragon gave a chortle and some fire almost singed my fur off.
"Watch it, You reptilian oaf!" I shout at it and pat out the smoldering patch of fur.
"My apologies, Knuckles." This dragon had a voice likeTrillias but much deeper. "I saw you four crash, is everything all right?"
"Araichia, the city is beeing destroyed by the hands of evil and these people live there." I heard Malous answer.
"Chaos shield, no?" Araichia inquired to them.
"Yes. We can't pass through." Mina spoke up.
Araichia gave another chortle of laughter. "Of course you wouldn't be able to. We dragons have to UNITE our elemental powers and hurl them at the shield together. Remember last time?"
"Then let's gat busy." Skie ordered.
A ball of fire gathered in Araichia's open mouth, water in Mina's, dark energy in Skie's, light in Malous', and lightning in Trillias' mouth. They launched it at the same moment and the sound of glass cracking surrounded my hearing abilities. I looked towards the invisible barrier to see it ripple and hold.
"It didn't work?!" I shouted.
I saw Jenny glow an iridesent aura and walk towards the shield. I looked at her eyes and they were blank. The pupils had vanished, her eyes were solid emerald green. She placed her hand where the shield had rippled. There was a thundering crash and the barrier vanished. Just like that, the same shield that the five dragons had combined to break this forcefield disappeared. I stood stark still in complete awe. This girl, the one that has enough guts to challenge me to a fight and have fair chances at winning, had broken through a Chaos Shield. I began to doubt my doubts about Jenny being an all powerful Star Princess.

"Let's go! We've got no time to waste!" Jenny commanded.
The group rushed through on foot towards Station Square and hoping they weren't too late. They reached the burning limits in a couple minutes.
"Mina! Use your water!" Jenny ordered.
Mina leapt into the air and took off, dowsing the largest flames first with her water breath. The other dragons flapped their wing to pick up dirt that smoldered the closer fires.
Jenny glowed a see blue aura and summoned a blue Star emerald.
"Power of the sea stars, Activate?!" Jenny turned sea-blue wherever there was a patch of iridescent fur. "Sea strike!!" columns of water blasted through the streets of the city, miraculously not hurting any of the citizens.
Eggman was floating in his Egg-o-matic and narrowly missed being flooded. Being evil, the powers of the "Sea strike" would hit him full blast.
Jenny's eyes and fur returned to normal and she deactivated the Emeralds' powers. Everyone, minus the dragons, gave a pat on the back and congradulations at clearing the fires.
"Damn you?!" Silverstreak yelled from the top of a building, A sillouette beside him.
"Who is that standing beside Silverstreak, Skie?" Shadow whispered to the black dragon of darkness(Shadenny: Remember, Darkness not Evil).
Skie looked up and, with his enhanced dragon vision, reported the description. "Seems to be a female hedgehog, black with violet streaks. Ears tipped with violet as well."
"What do they want now?" Jenny mumbled.

Shadenny: Heh heh. 'Nother cliffhanger. I love doing that. Please review. I've only got one review for this story so far.
???: Aren't you going to introduce me or do I have to?
Shadenny: Oh! Sorry 'bout that, Skie. You like so far?
Skie: It's okay. Not good, but not bad either.
Shadenny: :( (holds duct tape in left hand and a double-bladed axe in the other)
Skie: o-O;;; I mean it's great, terrific, superb!
Shadenny: ^-^ How nice of you to say that, Skie, thank you.
Skie: Do you have to terrorize people, though?
Shadenny: T_T Yes.
Skie:o_o;;
Shadenny: Don't worry, I like dragons.
Skie: *-* Thank you! That's the first compliment you've given me!
Shadenny: --_--;
