Chapter 14
The gang stayed even after visiting hours. Sonic and Spark were hitting on the hedgehog nurse that perfomed the blood transfusion. Even Trillias came to the hospital to watch over her charge. She had to transform into a human so she could blend in though.
****************************************
(P.O.V: Trillias)
I looked trough the glass at my Princess. So helpless at this time. I recalled the fight from five hours ago. She was so ruthless, like how she was in the past. That princess didn't seem to fit in with this child's persona. Jenny, who are you really?
Sonic and Spark continued to badger the poor nurse. I walked over and bent over them.
"Please leave the young woman alone, gentlemen." The grumbled and went to sit down. I chuckled softy and turned to the annoyed nurse. "Forgive them, Madam. They do not know how to act in the presence of women. What is your name?"
"Sonia, Sonia the Hedgehog. You?"
"Trillias. An old elven name from times long since past."
"Elves are myths, pure fantasy."
"How wrong you are, young one. How wrong you are."
"If they do exist, then where are they hiding?"
"Look to the stars. They are located on the planet Krynn."
I left her in a confused silence to return to my post. Krynn, where my home was oh so long ago. I could remember my youth there. Living in the gardens of Qualinost, the elven city of the sun. Then I was called. Called to here as were my fellow dragons. Most stayed, those who came were cared for under the rich. We were planning to return to Krynn, but Megami no Kou told that we were nedded here. We stayed, even after the fall of the Royals. I returned to Krynn for a short time a few years ago, two hundred to be precise. I was nearly killed by three of my own kind. A red, a blue, and a green, all much larger than normal. I tried to go to Silvanost, capital of another elven kingdom. I passed through a strange shield with much difficulty The elves shunned me and tried to slay me. Something had happened to cause the elves to distrust dragons, not just the three that had tried to devour me. I fled, saddend at the fact that even the elves didn't trust one another. So much had changed after three thousand years.
Knuckles, waving his hand in front of my face, called me back to reality.
"You spaced out while the doc said she's gonna make it." he explained to me.
I breathed a sigh of relief. This Jenny was different from the past, she was an entirely different person who happened to harbor the Dark princess' soul. I felt pity for her, a pity I never felt for her in the past. This girl, this child, could she be the true soul of the stars, the true Megami no Kou?
**********************************************************************
(Normal P.O.V)
Shadow nearly jumped out shouted for joy when he heard that Jenny would live. His heart nearly burst with happiness and let tears flow freely, but he didn't. Even through the well of emotions flowing through the obsidian hedgehog, he managed to keep his mysterious attitude. The only way to know what he was thinking, was by looking into his crimson eyes. Knuckles knew that the news relieved his friend of a tremendous weight. In a way Knuckles was Shadow's confidant.
Knuckles looked through the window in the hallway that showed Jenny's room. He smiled amusedly to himself, slightly shaking his head. He sighed mentally. He's hopeless, that's for sure. I bet that if you him who Maria is he'd probably say "Maria who?", the Echidna thought to himself.
Sonia walked up to him with hearts in her eyes.
"What's your name?" she asked dreamily.
Knuckles sweatdropped. "Um...Knuckles. I'm kinda...involved with someone right now." He scooted away from her much like how Sonic moves away from Amy.
Sonia pouted and walked away. Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Spark, Jasmine, and a different blue hedghog (who just walked in and was chatting with Sonia) drew up to him with inquisitive stares.(A/N: I'm evil to torture Knux with embarassment. ^_^) They cornered the red echidna so he couldn't escape.
"You're dating someone, Red? Who?" Sonic inquired.
Knuckles blushed a deep red that matched his fur. "Tikal" he answered in a whisper so no one would hear.
"I'm sorry, could you say that a little louder, Knux?" Shadow asked.
"Fine! But only to you!" He pointed at the obsidian hedgehog.
He dragged him to men's room down the hall, made sure nobody was in there and bolted the door.
"So, who is it? There aren't many female echidna's around. There's Rouge, but she doesn't seem your-" Shadow was cut off by Knuckles' say-her-name-again-and-I'll-rip-your-heart-out glare. "Nevermind."
"It's Tikal."
"Who? Sorry, but I don't know her."
"She lives on the Island in a tribe that lives deep in the forest."
"You're kidding me, right?"
Knuckles shook his head and got a far away look in his eyes. "She may play hard to get, but I'll charm my way into her heart!" He said proudly, placing his right fist over his heart.
"C'mon. If my instincts are correct, then everybody will be standing outside this very door," Shadow chuckled slightly.
They opened the door (it opens inwardly, you know) and eeveryone crashed to the ground one on top of the other. Knuckles and Shadow exchanges grins.
"Told ya so."
************************************************************
Meanwhile at Robotnik's base, old Fathead had conconcted an antidote for the hedgehog mates. The doctor had administated it to them a couple minutes ago.
"Now! To plan a- Where's Metal?"
The hedgehogs shuffled their feet like a guilty kid playing innocence. "Nuthin'" The doctor glared at them and they laughed nervously. "He was bugging us so we deactivated him."
The doctor shook his head sadly. "Guess I'll have to upgrade his weapon systems."
The two hedgehogs broke out into a sweat and took off, knowing that he meant it. Robotnik looked to the wall behind him and saw Metal. The robot's eyes were glittering and he had a grin on his face.
"I'm so evil aren't I?"
"Yes, sir, you are."

Shadenny: That ends this chapter. Sorry 'bout last time, but my guest got caught up in traffic. Ain't that right, Mina?
Mina: Er, actually I was on a date with Malous. ^_^;
Shadenny: Good for you. Well, Entertainment Time!! ^_^ We have Knuckles the Echidna sparring with Tammy the Tiger! Who happens to be my school's mascot.
Tammy: Thanx, Shadenny! I always wanted to fight Knux!
Knux: I hate women. --_--;;
Tikal: (pops into the arena) What was that, Knuckles?! (grips spear tightly)
Knux: o_O;; Is it just me or am I outnumbered by women?
Everybody(guys only): Yep! Don't worry! We feel your pain! (gets slapped by their girlfriends, tnen by their girlfriends' friends, then their girlfriens' friends' friends and son and so forth.
Knux:--.--; I take back the part about hating women.
Everyone(girls only): OKAY!
Tammy: On with the fight! (socks the unsuspecting Knux in the chin)
Knux: x_X
Tammy: WEINER!
Shadenny: o_O; That was strange of her.
