Ashton pulled out a gun and aimed it at Fletch. " It's time to say goodbye Fletcher." he spat. Fletch closed his eyes. He braced for the worse. An axe came flying in out of nowhere. It slashed across Ashton's arm. Ashton howled in pain. He let go of Fletch. Fletch did a spiral kick knocking Ashton's legs out from under him. Ashton fell. He fired a shot at Fletch. The bullet landed in Fletch's chest. Fletch staggered backwards before falling onto his back. His eyes closed and everything went black.

Ashton got his feet. He turned to face the figure that had attacked him. The figure was wearing a black robe with red celtic markings on it. It had on a mask with a gold helm. A bright gold and silver axe hung from it's belt. The figure reached for the axe pulling it off of the belt. Ashton growled. He picked up his sword charging for the figure. The figure dodged his attack. It spun slamming the axe into his back. Ashton howled turning around. He swung at the figure. His sword landed on it's side only to break. Ashton gasped. He looked up only to have a metal fist hit him in the forehead. The blow was strong enough to crack his skull. Ashton shuddered and became dizzy. His vision blurred in and out. The figure slammed his axe down on Ashton's head. Ashton went still and limp. The figure tossed Ashton's body away from it.

It looked over at Fletch walking over to him. It lifted him up carrying him carefully down the canyon wall. Tyne heard the faint sound of armor clanking. She looked up to see the figure walking towards her. She also saw the limp form of her husband laying in it's arms. She gasped running over to him. The figure paused. It laid Fletch down in her arms. It then touched her shoulder sending a shiver down her spine. She looked up to see it move away from her. " Thank you." she whispered. It paused. It turned to her. It nods to her. It begins to walk off again.

Tyne sat down with Fletch in her lap. " Baby?" She lifts his head up. Blood leaked out of his mouth. Tyne began crying. " Baby you can't leave me please!" she begged. She kissed his cheek gently. " I've lost my dad and my daughter. I can't lose you too." She sniffed. She put her hands on his chest. Green mist surrounded Fletch. She begins to heal his wounds. He was still out cold. She gets up carrying him out of the canyon. She meets up with the rest of the town. Shihzuka still had Taya in his arms. Tears stained his cheeks. " Let's get these guys to the hospital." she whispers. Shihzuka nods.

A few hour pass…

" Mrs. Kurosaki?" came a voice. Tyne got up. A nurse walked up to her. " I have news regarding both Mrs. Tsukiyama and Mr. Kurosaki. Mr. Kurosaki is in stable condition. We removed him off of the blood transfusion." Tyne nods. " But we have grave news on Taya. She has lost a lot of blood. Her back was tore up badly. We found bits of scharpmetal in her spine. We have done surgery but we don't know when she will wake up." Tyne felt her heart break. " Can I see her?" she asked. The nurse nods. Tyne walks into Taya's room. Taya was hooked up to several machines. Her heart beated steadily. Tyne walked up to her. She took her hand. " My baby girl." She strokes her cheek gently.

Tyne pulled out her journal. She began writing in it.

I'm starting to get what my dad said now. Family is everything. It doesn't matter if that person is related by blood to you. All that matters is that they stick with you and fight until the end. That is what my little girl means to me. I didn't care if she was blood or not. She means the world to me. I love her very much.

I can't get what happened to her out of my head. She gave her life to protect me. I owe her for what she did.

Little girl if your reading this then I want you to know something. I am going to return the favor one day. I know your memory is long since gone. If you have just a splotch of what has happened to use in the past months or even years then I want you to keep the good times. Get rid of the bad times. I don't want you life to be plagued with sadness and remorse like mine was. You deserve a better one. Keep those happy memories close to you.

Tyne got up. She tore the paper out of her journal putting in on Taya's bed side. She walked out of Taya's room.

Mark my words Taya, I will help you get your memory back. You have my word on that. My sweet little angel. I will return one day but that will be after I find a way to bring your memory back.

Taya put her visor down over her eyes. She got in her car. She pulled away from the hospital heading up the highway.

Life is full of choices. It's now time for you to make your choice in life. It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to be haunted by your past or take your past and make it your strength. The path of being a chuggineer or being a mere shell is up to you.

I hope the best for you baby girl.

Love

Your guardian angel and mother

Tyne.

Tyne got onto a desert highway. She took off away from Chuggington. She smiled to herself. The sun began to set in front of her. Her orange visor reflected the light as her car headed to the horizon disappearing.
