"Who are you?" Gabbriella asks.

"My name is Knuckles, I'm the guardian of the Master Emerald and have been for a long time. So...what was your name?"

"Gabby."

"You sure you're ok?" Chris asked once more.

"I'm fine. Just a memory." Knuckles said looking out the window. "Just a memory."

flash

"Knuckles!" Gabbriella said. Knuckles stopped and looked back at her. "Be careful." Knuckles smiled, nodded, turned around and ran again. Gabbriella opened the box and inside was a beautiful diamond ring. Gabbriella gasped as she looked at the ring and then back at Knuckles who was almost too far to see. She watched Knuckles until she couldn't see him anymore. "Please be careful." She whispered.

flash

Knuckles woke up later. Everything...destroyed. Knuckles stood up slowly. "Gabbriella?" No answer. "Gabbriella! Gabbriella!" Knuckles ran around the island looking for Gabbriella, but...she was no where. After looking at the last part of the island, he relized that she was gone. He hung his head low and for the first time, a tear rolled down his face. "No." He walked up to a wall that was not attached to anything (pretty much it was just a wall with no wall on either side because it was destroyed), he put his head to the wall and breathed heavily. Knuckles started to get angry and clenched his fists. Then as he screamed he slammed his right fist into the wall knocking it over and leaving a huge hole in it. He stood there still with his head hung low and quietly said, "No."

"But why is she glowing?" Shadow asked.

flash

"Who are you and why are you attacking me?" Sonic asked.

flash

"Who do you think she is?" Sonic asked Chris.

"I don't know. But Knuckles seems to have known her from somewhere." Chris said as he looked from Knuckles to the girl.

flash

"We're under attack!" Tails said taking the controls.

flash

"There's only a slim chance that you'll come out alright." Tails said looking at Gabbriella.

"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself." she told him.

flash

"YOU DID WHAT!" Knuckles got angrier than he ever did yelling at Tails. "WHY, DID YOU LET HER GO OUT THERE ALONE! SHE COULD BE HURT!"

flash

"The Chaos Emeralds are gone!" Tails paniced.

flash

"They have left the ship and I'm here alone with the Master Emerald." Gabbriella said looking at Dr. Eggman on the screen of her watch. "Splendid. We'll be there in a jiffy. Get the Master Emerald and we'll be ready to go." Dr. Eggman said.

flash

"Tails get us on the Blue Typhoon, NOW!" Knuckles yelled.

flash

"I've gotta get her back! I won't lose her again!" Knuckles gnashed his teeth, hit the floor, stood up, turned and walked out of the room with an angry look on his face. "Eggman will pay!"

flash

"You know what I've always liked the most about you." He told her. "I love it when you get angry." At that moment, Knuckles grabbed Gabbriella's arms and pulled her toward him and he kissed her. Gabbriella tried to push him off, but couldn't. While he was kissing her he pulled the bug off her neck and she fainted, Knuckles caught her of course. Knuckles smiled at her as he laid her down gently supporting her head with his arm.

flash

Knuckles took one more deep breath. "Gabbriella...will marry me? I know I'm not perfect, kinda a hot head and get pretty competitive...but, I still love you...and that's all that matters. I...I can't give you much, but...I...love you, that's all I can give you..."

flash

Gabbriella sighed and just spat it out. "...I'm pregnant."

flash

Knuckles was hiding himself in the shadows of the room (as usual) trying to make sure no one knew he was crying, but Gabbriella knew.

(and with that I shall start the story)

Chapter 1

7 years later

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kiara, happy birthday to you!" Sonic and the guys sang to the small girl sitting at the end of the table in the bridge. The girl was a light pink echidna wearing a white tank top and jeans. Around her left wrist was a watch and around her neck was a choke necklace. Her hair were pretty much just stubs (it looks like Knuckles' but it's still growing so it's just little stubbs and it's kinda frizzy). In front of her was a large cake with 7 candles on it. She blew them all out with one blow. Just then Knuckles and Gabbriella got on both sides of her and kissed her on the cheek they were next to and she gave the most adorable laugh you have ever heard. Just then the Blue Typhoon shook.

"What was that?" Kiara asked looking at her mother (for those of you who didn't figure it out, Kiara is Gabbriella and Knuckles' daughter). Tails ran to the computer and pushed some buttons and Eggman's ship came on the screen.

"It's Eggman!" Tails said frantically pointing at the screen. Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other, nodded and started to run out. Gabbriella stopped them.

"I'm coming with you!" Gabbriella told him.

"Who's stopping you?" Sonic joked.

"Wait!" Kiara yelled standing up, "Can I come?"

"I'm sorry Kiara...it's too dangerous..." her mother said trying not to be mean to her daughter, "Maybe another time." Kiara looked dissappointed as she lowered her head. Sonic, Knuckles and Gabbriella walked out of the room. Chris walked up to Kiara.

"Don't worry, you can help me and Tails. Tails, what do you think Kiara can do?" Chris asked him. Tails sat in the chair in front of the computer and looked a little sad.

"I'm sorry but...I don't really think there's anything you can do to help. I've got it pretty much covered." Tails told her looking a little upset there was nothing for her to do.

"Oh...ok..." Kiara said and then she turned and walked slowly out of the room. Chris and Tails looked at each other sadly.

"Hey Chris, could you sit here and help them if they need it?" Tails started as he got up, "I'm gonna go talk to her." Tails walked after her. Kiara sat in her room. She laid on her bed throwing a small red ball up and down into the air looking really bored. Tails knocked on the door.

"Come in." Kiara said bluntly. Tails slowly poked his head in. "Oh...hey Tails."

"You ok?" Tails asked.

"Why wouldn't I be? Why I'm sitting here bored stiff, my mom and dad are fighting and I'm missing out." Just then Chris came on the intercom.

"Tails, I think we're gonna need the X-Tornado." Chris said. Tails thought for a minute, stood up, started to walk out the door and stopped and turned back to Kiara.

"Do you wanna help me with the X-Tornado?" Tails asked. Kiara's face lit up. She bounced off the bed and squeezed him.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Kiara said happily.

"You're...welcome..." Kiara finally let go of him and ran ahead of him to the X-Tornado. Tails sighed and followed. Tails and Kiara got inside the X-Tornado. Kiara was so excited she could barely stop moving, this was her first time in the X-Tornado and that was why Tails looked a little nervous. He remembered what happened the last time he did something against Knuckles' wishes and he hoped that wouldn't happen again. "Kiara? Just promise me you'll hold on tight."

"Of course. Tails, you have nothing to worry about. I can take care of myself."

"Ha," Tails laughed, "That's what your mother said."

"Spare me the history lesson and lets get going!" Tails smiled

"Ok. Here we go!" The X-Tornado blasted off and headed to where Sonic, Knuckles and Gabbriella. "Sonic!" Tails shot a ring out of the X-Tornado and Sonic caught it.

"Thanks Tails!" Sonic said as he turned back towards Shadow. Sonic turned into a ball and sped towards Shadow. While Tails was pretty much cruising letting Kiara sight see a bit, a robot came out of the top of Eggman's ship and began to shoot at them.

"Uh oh. Looks like Eggman wants to shoot us down."

"Let me out." Kiara said looking at the robot.

"What? Are you crazy? I can't let you out of here. It's bad enough I let you in here!"

"I can take him! Let me out!"

"Look, I can't! I'm not gonna let you get hurt!" Tails began firing at it and Kiara pouted in the back seat. Tails hated to see her upset, but he knew he couldn't let her out there. At least not without Knuckles and Gabbriella's approval. She was supposed to stay in the Blue Typhoon, he had already dissobeyed them enough. Shadow had beaten Knuckles and Gabbriella and they were laying on top of the ship. Shadow had planned to beat Sonic also and bring them all to Dr. Eggman. Sonic was almost out of breath and was breathing heavily. Tails didn't know what to do. He knew Kiara could beat that robot. He'd seen her train with Sonic, Knuckles and Gabbriella and saw how strong she was. He knew he had no choice. To help save Sonic, he had to let Kiara out to get rid of the robot. Tails sighed. "Alright! I'm letting you out!" Kiara hugged him so tightly he almost choked.

"Thank you Tails, I won't let you down!"

"Just...promise me you'll be ok."

"I"ll be alright, Tails. Don't worry." Tails couldn't believe he was about to do it. He covered his eyes as he pushed the button and the portal opened. Before Kiara fell she gave him a small kiss on his cheek. Tails blushed head to foot and Kiara landed gracefully on 3 of her feet and left arm was out in the air. The robot saw that she was challenging him and it came towards her. Kiara extended her arms out and they gave off a purple static. She banged her knuckles together and created a huge explosion that nearly knocked the the big robot off the ship. Tails kept a close eye on her, but made his way to Sonic to see what he could do to help. Kiara smiled as she watched the X-Tornado make its way toward Sonic and then kept her focus back on the robot who had now gotten its balance back. Kiara bent down on her knees and put both of her hands on the ship. Her hands started to glow a purply color and it started to give off electricity. Just then she shocked the whole ship causing all the power to go out and the robot to turn off (at least for a little while). When she thought that she had won, she stood up and turned around. Shadow was winning. Sonic was nearly wiped out. They both turned into balls and fought each other but Shadow just continued to hit him harder and Sonic just continued to get weaker. "Sonic!" She closed her eyes and extended her arms towards Shadow. Her hands glowed purple and so did Shadow. He couldn't move (remind you of someone haha)! Kiara threw Shadow the other way away from Sonic. Sonic landed on the ship and fell to his knees breathing heavily. Kiara walked over and put her hand on his shoulder. "You ok?"

"Yeah...I think so..." Sonic said between breaths. Kiara started to walk away, but Sonic grabbed her arm. "Wait! You can't...fight him..."

"Why not?"

"Because...he's too strong...leave him...to me..."

"No...you're too weak! I can take him!" Kiara ran off towards where Shadow landed.

"You dare to challenge me!" Shadow said glowing. "You! A little girl! Haha! I will crush you for getting in my way!"

"NO!" Tails said pressing himself against the window of the X-Tornado watching him.

Well...pretty good right? I hope so. I just love Kiara, you'll like her once i can get her out and play a little. You'll be surprised at how much power this little girl has, but do you think it'll be enough to beat Shadow, the ultimate life-form? Probably not!
