Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. The power unit on the computer I was using went 'kapoot' so to speak. Now that I am able to get on with this, I would like to dedicate this chapter to Green Lightning. (I know he doesn't really exist! You will find out why it is dedicated to him as you read. Just don't go flaming me for dedicating a chapter to one of my fan-characters!) Just a reminder, I only own the kintushians (this includes Fangor), Green Lightning (mother and father included, although they are WAY too overprotective, and the mystics as well (this includes all the robe gangs). Aleena is owned by Foxfan999, and Sonic and the gang are owned by Sega. Now on to the story. (Most of this chapter will be in Green Lightning's POV)

Green Lightning's POV

I dreamt that night... I was in my room of my new house (we had moved out of Fangor's inn)... Smoke seemed to be entering through the window... I got out of bed and pushed a chair over to the window so I could see out of it... I saw the village on fire and flames lapping in through the window... In the center of the village was a black Kintushian with Fangor standing opposite of him... The black one was laughing evily... Fangor seemed to be saying something, but I couldn't make it out from where I was. Suddenly he disapeared and the black Kintushian turned his attention towards me... All of a sudden I was gripped by darkness and appeared on the ground below... "Do you know who I am, boy?" he asked with a bitter hatred in his voice. I immediately didn't like him. "No matter. You will die before you need to know. Good-bye, Guardian of the Master Order Emerald." With that I was gripped with a paralyzing darkness as he raised his hands. Globes of darkness began forming in them, blotting them out. He raised his hands above his head, preparing for the killing blow. I was shivering in fear of what he would do. As his hands came down, only one thought came to mind. "POR ORT GRAV!" I yelled. Immediately a bolt of lightning came down, but it was too late... But then, I woke up.

I sat up, aching as though he truly had paralyzed me. I ran downstairs and out the front door, being careful not to wake my parents. Was that a nightmare? Or a vision of things yet to come? Whatever it was, it felt real enough to me... Not realizing it, I had stopped in front of an abandonded house. No one would tell me why it was abandonded, or why it remained in such good shape. It must be important if they want to keep it a secret. I was still thinking when someone came from the doorstep. "Excuse me, kid. Do you know where the Prowers are? My parents told me I could find them in Knothole at house 34, but it appears that they aren't home." I looked up and saw a female Kitsune of about eight years of age with purple-ish fur looking down at me, waiting for an answer. I shook my head. " I know nothing of them. Sorry." She shrugged and said " By the way, my name is Aleena. What is yours?" " Green Lightning. If you're new to Knothole, I would suggest going to the palace first. They register new citizens there. You might have to wait a while though. I think they are holding a meeting with the mayor of one of the neighboring towns for some reason." " Ok. Thank you. Where is the palace?" I pointed to the north, towards what looked like a giant oak tree. " In there. It's much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside." With that she walked off in the direction of the palace. I had nothing to do, so I just wandered around town for a few hours thinking about nothing in particular.

Around lunchtime I headed for my house and found Amy, Sally, Bunny, and Rouge talking to my parents. They all turned around as I entered. Amy waved as I walked in and shut the door. " Hi Green Lightning! We were just about to have lunch. Care to join us?" " Okay. What are we having?" Bunny got up to get an extra chair. Sonic came in from the kitchen and rolled his eyes. " Salad... Why does it always have to be salad! Why can't we have chilidogs? Are you trying to turn me into a toothpick?" They all laughed at that. I found what he said strange, but kept quiet. Sally rolled her eyes and turned to him. "Sonic hedgehog, if you eat too many chilidogs, you aren't going to be able to run anywhere anymore. Sides, it won't kill you to lose a little weight." Sonic turned to me then back to Sally. " Seems like he's finally here. Can we hurry up and get this over with so I can get the awful taste out of my mouth already?" Amy pulled out her hammer and threw it at him, hitting him in the head. " OW! What was that for!" Amy shrugged. "Got tired of hearing you complain about salads. Now get a chair and sit down. We are about to eat. And don't bother looking for ranch dressing. There isn't any here." A look of defeat crossed Sonic's face as he sat down. Bunny came back from the kitchen with my chair and sat down in her own.

Just then there was a knock at the door. I walked over and answered it. Standing there, holding a stack of papers was Aleena. " Oh! Hello Green Lightning. Good to see you again." She held out her hand for some reason. I looked at it, confused. She withdrew her hand. " Sally? I'm done with the registration." Sally turned back towards the door. " You're just in time for lunch! Care to join us?" She shrugged her shoulders. " Sure. I don't have anything else planned for today. What are you having?" Sonic groaned. " Salad..." Amy smacked him on the head with her hammer before he could let out any more insults. Bunny went back in the kitchen for another chair. She set it down next to mine. I went over and sat down with everyone. Taking up most of the table was a large bowl of salad.

Everyone except myself began chatting idly about nothing in particular as they ate. An hour later the salad was gone and the bowls taken away. My mom looked at me. " Green Lightning, the Kintushian Combat Academy will be starting next month. We have already enrolled you in it. Just to let you know, Fangor is going to be one of the teachers there. I hope you do well." I nodded. I got up from the table and went to my room to read a few of the books that were still left unread up there. I began reading up on the first fifty years of the Kintusians in a book entitled "Kintushian Chronicles: A Tale of Betrayal. I guess I must have dozed off while reading it, because when I came around, the thing called a 'clock' next to my bed (why is it called a clock? So many things to get used to...) read 8:52 PM. I put the book back on the shelf and headed downstairs. Everyone was still there talking to each other.

Aleena looked up from her conversation with Sally. " Hi Green Lightning! Did you have a nice nap?" I was confused. " How did you know I was asleep?" She smiled. " Your mom asked me to go check on you about every hour or so after you went up there. First time up there you were lying on the bed asleep with a book in your hands." I blushed. Just then the door opened. " Aleena? isn't it about time for you to go home?" She glanced at a metallic object on her wrist and gasped. Fangor pointed towards an alley. " That's the fastest way back to the 40's lots. Be careful." He turned towards Sally. " Well, I'm off to do my night patrol, although I can't see at night. Oh, well. My ears are good enough." He walked off towards the east side of town to begin his patrol.

A few minutes later Aleena got her things together and got ready to leave. She said goodbye to everyone and walked out the door. I went up to my room and got ready for bed. At about 9:34 PM, it started storming. I feel something strange about this storm... like it's a bad omen... Just then Aleena reached the center of the alley and brutish thugs began closing in on her from both ends. Where is Fangor? Aleena's in trouble! I saw them remove metalic black objects from their hips and decided that I had better act fast. I grabbed my cloak from next to the door and ran downstairs. All the lights were off indicating everyone was asleep. The storm began escalating, violent lightning flashing everywhere. I opened the front door only to have it nearly blown out of my hand. I ran out of the house, taking care to shut the door on the way out. I sped off towards the alley, climbing the fire escape next to one of the buildings that formed a wall of the alley. I reached the roof and dropped down from above, right in front of where Aleena was backed against a wall. They suddenly backed up, looking as though they had seen a ghost. " Hey, Boss? Isn't that the kid that trounced us back when we were in school?" " Shut up, Mugsy! Just start shooting!" With that they pointed the weapons at me and began shooting.

I closed my eyes and held out my arms in defiance, protecting Aleena. Not even one of their projectiles reached us. I was confused. And by the looks on their faces, they were as well. " What's going on, Boss? That brat should be swiss cheese by now!" Suddenly a dark voice emmited from one end of the alley. " Leave the prince alone, you fools! He is ours to kill! Now you will pay for your mistake!" Suddenly fireball spells errupted in swarms from both ends of the alley, turning both of the thugs into ash. 7 Black Robe gang members closed in from all sides. " And now you die, your royal shortness!" They all prepared for several flamestrike spells, grinning menacingly. I raised my hand as if to stop the spells, and one of my medalions glowed very brightly. A staff appeared in front of me, and a pillar of bright white light shot towards the sky. I grasped the staff, and the beam kept getting larger. They had already lost their concentration on their spells, causing them to fail. The light stopped suddenly, then they turned back towards me. " Nice light show. Too bad you're going to die. Burn him!" With that, they prepared their spells again. Just then, an extra powerful bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating a figure standing on a roof behind them. "Stop this at once, or cease to live! I am Fangor, Knight of Justice! Remove your presence from here at once!" With that he jumped down between the Black Robes and ourselves. They immediately backed away, looking very angry that someone had stopped them from killing me. Before they left, they slammed me over the head with staves, leaving me out cold.

December 8

I awoke the next morning in the hospital again, drowsy with my entire body aching. I looked over to the side and saw Aleena there, looking at me and smiling. " Glad to see you are awake! You took quite a beating before Fangor arrested all of them. Are you feeling alright?" I shook my head. " I ache all over. What is today?" She looked at the calendar on the wall. " Sunday the 8th of December. I heard school starts tommorrow." " I've already graduated. I'm just waiting for the Freedom Fighter academy to open." She smiled. "I'm going there next year. I've just gotta finish out this school year here and then I can go. I heard it ends this Friday?" I nodded. Suddenly she leaned forward and hugged me. I winced a little in pain. " Thanks for saving me, Green Lightning." Just then the door opened and in came... Tikal! She walked towards the bed, smiling. " It's been a while, Green Lightning. How are you feeling?" I smiled. " Aside from aching all over, I feel fine." Aleena let go of me and turned towards Tikal. " Hello. I am Aleena. Who are you and how do you know Green Lightning?" She pulled out a book and gave it to her. " I am Tikal. This book will tell you how I met Green Lightning and also his story before he met me." I sat up and got out of the bed, feeling slight pain as I walked towards the door. " See you at the academy Green Lightning." Aleena said as I walked out the door. I immediately ran back in, remembering my cloak that was lain beside the bed. Tikal and Aleena giggled. I walked out of the hospital and headed for my house, careful to avoid cars when crossing the road.

When I opened my front door my mom ran up to me, hugging me and crying. " I thought I would never see you again! You could have been killed if Fangor hadn't have shown up! Please don't go running off like that again!" She broke down, crying harder and sqeezing tighter. I was in terrible pain from the squeezing, but I kept my composure. After about 5 minutes she released me and stopped crying. She walked up to her room and shut the door behind her. I turned around and shut the front door. After I hung my cloak next to the door, I went to the kitchen to see if there was any salad left. I was greeted at the door by Amy. She smiled as I approached. " Glad to see you up and about. Everyone was worried about you! I can't believe you went off on your own down an alley! You should know better than that!" Sonic came from the fridge. " Don't be so hard on the kid, Ames. He was trying to save someone for crying out loud! Give him some credit, sheesh!" She looked down and shook her head. " Sorry, Green Lightning." I nodded. " Nothing to worry about."

I walked towards the fridge to get something to eat. I opened the door only to be greeted by an empty fridge. Hmm... " Hey, guys? Where's all the salad?" Amy giggled. " We ate all of it last night. Your dad went to the store with Sally, Bunnie, Antonie, Rotor, and Fangor to get some shopping done. Your mom said she would go to bed when she got home and asked us to be in charge until your dad gets back." Sonic stared at the empty fridge. " Hope they bring back some chilidogs... Maybe I have some left back at my place..." He began to head for the door, but Amy stopped him by grabbing his leg. " Sonic! We're supposed to be watching Green Lightning! Your stomach can wait till they get back!" He moaned. " Alright... Hey, Amy? You know that new student at the school, Aleena? I heard from headmistress Nora that she will be in your class." She smiled. " Then it will be easier for us to get to know each other!" Sonic looked at me and ran his eyes the length of my body. " Hmm... No bandages... You feeling better?" I nodded. " Only hurts when someone sqeezes me. Aside from that, I'm fine."

I walked out of the kitchen and went to my room. I decided that I'd finish the book I had started the previous day and then get some sleep before my dad got home. It took me 30 minutes to finish the book. I slept for about 5 hours before I got up and went downstairs. it was 12:57 PM when I got downstairs. Shadow was there, bragging about how he was better than Sonic while Amy sat there looking rather annoyed. All three looked up when I opened my door. Shadow smirked. " Well, if it isn't the little hero! Don't get yourself too beat up, kid!" He laughed a little before being smacked on the head by Amy's hammer. He rubbed the spot where it had hit while scowling at her. Just then there was a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it. My dad was there with sacks of groceries, not just fruit. Behind him was Fangor, carrying a few more. " Glad to see you up and about, son. You feeling alright? You weren't too good when Fangor gave us the news." I nodded and stepped out of the way. Sonic looked up and drooled a bit. " FOOD! Finally!" Amy smacked him with her hammer. " That's a rather rude greeting!" Fangor walked to the kitchen without saying anything. He set the groceries on the counter next to the fridge and came back in the living room. He turned towards me. " I have something for you at the hospital. I would like for you to come by before you eat." I nodded and followed him to the hospital.

We walked up to the reception desk, Fangor looking as serious as ever. " Ah, Fangor! Is he ready for the treatment?" Fangor nodded. The nurse pointed to the right, down the specialized treatments and surgeries corridor. " Room 387E. The doctor will be in shortly." He nodded and we went down the hall. After passing 37 seemingly identical doors marked with numbers, we finally reached the room. " On the bed, young one." A voice came from behind a desk around a corner. I looked up at Fangor and he nodded. I walked over to the bed and climbed into the middle of it and laid down. The doctor grabbed a cup from the counter behind him and brought it to me. " Drink this and lay your head down. The treatment will be done in a matter of minutes, but I don't want you to be awake during it. It would leave an unsettling feeling in your stomach. Drink all of it, but don't be hasty. It won't take affect till all of it is gone." He turned towards Fangor. " Take the cup from him when he finishes. I will be getting the necessary supplies from the closet." I slowly drank the liquid in the cup. It tasted like fresh apple juice, only a bit sweeter. As soon as the cup was drained, I felt very sleepy. My wrist began shaking, and the cup was removed from my hand. I yawned and fell asleep.

" You may wake up now. We are done." I opened my eyes, still feeling the effects of the drink. I looked at the clock and it read 7:15 PM. I groaned. " Sorry, Green Lightning. I didn't know the drink would be so effective on one so young. It was only supposed to last 30 minutes! Oh well. The treatment is done and has succeeded. You should now be able to digest anything that a normal person would be able to eat. Stay away from caffine, though. I've heard it's bad for you." Fangor left the room, and I soon followed. My stomache growled a bit as we walked towards the exit. " Don't worry, kid. Your mom is making something special tonight." With that, we took off towards my house.

After walking through the door, I was greeted by an aroma that made my stomach growl even louder. I heard a giggle from next to the kitchen door. I turned to see who it was, and was greeted by Aleena and Tikal. " Seems like someone brought their appetite! Ready to eat?" I nodded. Tikal went into the kitchen and came back with a chair. " According to your mom, we're having something special tonight." I walked to the table and sat down. Tikal walked back into the kitchen with Aleena, smiling as they left. A few minutes later Sally, Amy, Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Rouge, Tikal, Aleena, Bunnie, Antonie, Fangor, Mom, and Dad came out of the kitchen carrying all sorts of food and set them on the table. Everyone took their seats and Mom got up to serve the food. Many foods I hadn't seen before were set on each plate, and we were having something called 'pie' for desert. I grabbed a fork and knife and started carving what they refered to as 'steak'. It was like carving through butter. I shoved a piece in my mouth, being carful not to choke on it. It was one of the best foods I had tasted yet! I moved on to the 'sausage', a kind of flat disk of meat. I bit into it and immediately wanted water. That thing was hot! I swallowed and quickly reached for the beverage, being careful not to spill it. I took a drink, expecting water or fruit juice. What I tasted instead was something they called 'Coke Cola'. It tasted good, but burned my tounge a bit. After everyone finished eating (Sonic had 5 servings of almost everything except the salad, Fangor only had 1 serving of everything, and I topped it off at 50 servings of everything except the sausages.) Mom went into the kitchen and came back with some sort of bread sitting in a tin. She carved everyone a slice and refilled the drinks. I took a bite of the pie, and flavor rushed to my mouth. It tasted like cherry, with some sort of sweet bread as well.

After we finished, I started feeling tired. I got up from the table and nearly fell when I stood on the floor. I started walking forward and nearly fell. I was quite drowsy. Aleena caught me before I hit the floor. Mom looked over at me, noticing my fall. " Aleena? Could you please take him to bed? I think he ate too much." Everyone got a laugh out of that. I tried walking forward and had my legs taken out from under me. It didn't take very long for sleep to overcome me. I dreamed that night about the Dark Kintushian again, and also about saving Aleena the previous day. He stood in the alley, watching my actions while glaring angrily. After the 7 Black Robe gang members showed up, he started grinning evily. " Why did you save such a weak creature that you could have easily have slain? Are you so weak that you would help them? They are your subordinates! You should command them, not save them! You are weak... You don't deserve life... Death should have been your reward... but then..." The lightning flash happened and Fangor appeared in the midst of it. He jumped down as he had the other night, standing between Aleena, myself, and the Black Robe gang. The Dark Kintushian turned back towards me. "... He showed up! You should have died! Do yourself a favor and next time you decide to save someone, kill yourself!" With that, the dream faded, leaving me feeling hot, feverish, and as though a cold, dark fear gripped my heart. The fear that next time I try to save someone... I won't be able to.

Third person POV

The next day

December 9

It was 3:10 in the afternoon. Almost time for school to end for the day. Many students in Amy Rose's English class were perched on the edge of their seats, waiting to be able to go home. 3:15... The bell rang and all the students in the class ran out the door... Everyone... except Aleena. She appeared to be daydreaming with her English book still under her desk. Amy got up from her desk and walked towards the back of the room, knowing something was on the girl's mind. " Aleena? The bell rang. Aren't you going to go home?" Aleena slung her head back in surprise, not expecting anyone to interrupt her fantasy. "Aleena? Is something wrong? You seemed distracted all day. Do you need to see the nurse?" Aleena just smiled and shook her head. She looked at Amy, beaming. " I think I know why you were daydreaming all through class. It's a boy isn't it?" Aleena blushed an nodded. Amy smiled. " Ahh! Very good! Who is it?" Aleena giggled a bit. " Green Lightning. But I don't know if he likes me..." Amy thought for a second, then snapped her fingers. " I've got it! We'll hold a Christmas party at Fangor's house this Christmas! Then you can get him under the mistletoe! That should clear things up!" They both giggled. Aleena grabbed her bag and took the sheet of paper she had hidden in her English book before the teacher could notice. " Bye Amy! And thank you!" Amy smiled and waved. " Good luck and bye!" Aleena giggled as she left.

Green Lightning's POV

December 25/Christmas!

I woke up and looked out the window. A white Christmas yet again... Wonder what's going to happen this year... I grabbed my cloak from the coatrack next to the door and slipped it on. I went over to my bookshelf and thumbed through the selection. Read that... and that... and these as well... I had read every book I had and every book in the Knothole library. Well, guess I'll just sit here till Mom calls up for breakfast. I got up on my bed and slipped back under the covers, figuring I would catch some more sleep while I waited. I looked at the clock. 6:30 am... 2 hours till Mom gets up... I shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I sat up, yawning as I opened my eyes. Aleena was standing there, smiling. " Breakfast is ready. Want to come down with me?" I felt myself blush for some reason. Probably nothing to worry about... " Alright. Let me grab my amulets." I reached over to my nightstand, grabbing the two amulets that laid there. The staff was still glowing for some reason. Could mean it's no longer dormant or something like that... I stood up and Aleena grabbed my hand. I could feel myself blushing again. What is going on? We walked down the stairs and greeted everyone that was there. Sonic and Shadow were having their usual arguments, Amy and Sally were discussing something about a person that had been missing ever since about a year before I showed up, Bunnie, Antonie, Knuckles, Rouge, and Tikal were discussing the Chaos emeralds, and Mom and Dad were sitting at the table, trying to strike up a conversation with Fangor about what the Christmas party was going to be like this year. Fangor appeared to be lost in his thoughts like he usually was around the holidays. This was going to be Knothole's first Christmas, and mine. The last decade had been spent getting other towns back on their feet and forging alliances with them. When we reached the bottom step everyone looked up. " MERY CHRISTMAS!" Everyone except Fangor yelled. He didn't even seem to notice.

Just then the door opened and in came Rotor, covered in snow. I looked at him. " What happened? Did you fall into a snow drift?" Rotor shook his head. " Snow drifts aren't a problem with me, shorty." He turned to the others. " Careful going outside. There's a town-wide snowball fight going on." Sonic and Shadow grinned before running out the still open door. Rotor shut the door and sat down at the table. He began talking to my mom and dad about his latest invention based on another Kintushian design. Fangor suddenly whipped his head around at me. " Everyone except you and Aleena has already ate. Once you two are done, we will proceed." He snapped back into his thoughts as though nothing had happened. Aleena shoved me into a chair. " I'll go get breakfast. You wait here." I shrugged my shoulders as she went into the kitchen. A few minutes later she came back with two plates of pancakes covered in syrup. She set one in front of me and the other in front of a chair next to it, then went back into the kitchen to get forks. She came back and sat down next to me, handing me a fork. We ate quickly, it being early morning. After we finished I tried to get up to wash my plate only to be shoved back into the chair. Aleena smiled at me. " I'll wash them." She grabbed both plates and the forks and headed for the kitchen. Amy looked at me, smiling. " Why are you blushing?" " I don't know... Is something wrong with me?" Amy giggled and shook her head. Aleena came back and just then Sonic and Shadow came back in arguing about who won the snowball fight. Amy smacked them both on the head with her hammer. " Can't you two go ONE holiday without arguing!" They smirked and headed over to the table. Amy glanced around at everyone. "Alright, everyone. Remember, at 6 tonight, be at Fangor's house. The Christmas party is going to be held there. DON'T be late." She looked straight at me. " And as for you, be careful on the way over. We don't know whether or not the Black Robe gang is able to escape from the jail or not, but it can't hurt to be extra cautious. We've already lost one friend. We don't want to lose another." I nodded.

6:00 PM...

THE PARTY!

I was the first to arrive, having eaten supper at 5:30 and ran over at top speed. I sat down in a big cuishion chair next to the lit fireplace, and I think I fell asleep, because when I looked around again, everyone else was already there. I sat there, eyes closed, enjoying the warmth of the fire. I was very relaxed. Just when I was about to drift off to sleep, I heard someone call my name. " Green Lightning? Could you come here please?" I got up out of the chair, nearly falling forward as I jumped 2 feet to the floor. I walked over to where I had heard the voice come from, near the front hallway. Aleena was standing there. " Hi Aleena. Did you need something?" She nodded and pointed up. I looked up and saw a couple of berries attached to a few leaves. Mistletoe... Wonder why she wanted me to see this? She took my hands in hers. Everyone turned and looked. " You know what the tradition with mistletoe is don't you?" I thought about it for a moment and remembered reading about it in a book somewhere. The normal version was just tradition. The Kintushian-modified version had a bit of magic in it. It was said that the Kintushian variety had the power of bringing two people that were meant for each other under it. There wasn't any way to tell the difference between either, or so it has been written. I looked back at her. " Guess I might as well." She put one arm behind my back, brought me in close, turned me over to where my back rested on one of her knees and I faced the ceiling, then she kissed me on the lips. It felt like my heart was on fire... My head felt faint... I felt as though I never wanted that moment to end... I went limp as butter in her arms... The mistletoe flashed a light pink, not like usual mistletoe... She stood me back up, helping me keep from falling over. Everyone began clapping and cheering. " What was that feeling? I feel something that I have never felt before..." She smiled and hugged me. I heard Amy whisper something to Sally, Tikal, Bunnie, and Mom. " I think they're in love!" They all smiled and giggled. I suddenly fainted for no apparent reason. When I came to, I was lying on the couch, with Aleena looking down at me. " I think you were overwhelmed." She giggled. I sat up and she sat down next to me. She put her head on my shoulder and wrapped her arms around me. " I love you, Green Lightning... I never want this moment to end..." I smiled. " I think I love you too..." She looked in my eyes, a deep look in here eyes. " You'll always be there to protect me, won't you?" I nodded. With that, we embraced each other, closed our eyes, and went to sleep.
