Prolog
"Honoured master of all Ninjas
we have located Sapphire, for many years we have
searched and now he is found,"
a red robed Ninja said and bowed, the only thing you
could tell about this ninja was that
it had dark red eyes. The ninjas voice was
emotionless and you couldn'd tell
what gender it was, to the Ninjas when you put on your
robe and cowl you became genderless.
"Will you retrieve Sapphire soon
Ruby, Sapphire is after all the next master of all ninjas
and we must continue to teach him a
few last lessons," the master of all ninjas asked,
the master Ruby couldn't see unless
the master let a person.
"Yes master, Sapphire as of now
is waiting for Jade so he can escape from the soft
ones," Ruby said and bowed
again, the master laughed silently at the thought at finally
getting back Sapphire
the best Ninja alive back.
"Good, when Sapphire returns
give him his robe back, tell him we have all missed him,"
the master said, the master would
refer to Sapphire as a he till Sapphire returned to
them and donned his Ninja robes
again.
"As you wish master," Ruby
said and then the red coloured Ninja vanished from sight,
the art of walking through shadows
were there was no shadows was a mystery to those
who were not ninjas.
"Galena," the ninja master
said and a second smaller ninja appeared, its robes were a
shiny silvery blue.
"Yes master," the new
Ninja said.
"You are the one who located
Sapphier, did you at any point observe him using any of
his Ninja skills in front of the
soft ones?" the master asked.
"No master he used none in
front of them, he only used his skill of great speed he was
born with," Galena said, to any
observers it would look like Galena was a child because
of Galenas size but Galena wasn't.
"Good, continue what you were
doing Galena," the master said and Galena bowed,
seconds later Galena seemed to fade
out of sight.
soft ones= mobians who were not
ninjas

Chapter One
"Hello Sapphier, I see that you
are ready to go," Jade said appearing beside Sapphier,
Sapphier smiled relieved that he
could finally return to his home.
"Have you left behind all
possesions that you have gained while living among the soft
ones?" Jade asked, Jades green
robes hid his its face so no expression was seen on
it.
"Yes I went through the trees
so that I would not leave any footprints," Sapphire said,
Jade nodded and passed him a pair of
Sapphier coloured booys.
"What name did
you use among the softones?" Jade asked him, the green coloured
ninja had asked him with
emotionless. Sapphire let his go emotionless, no longer could
he act like the soft ones he had
lived with.
"I was called Sonic,"
Sapphire said, his sapphire blue eyes became like stone as Jade
watched.
"Let us go then," Jade said,
Sapphier nodded and then they vanished into the great
forest.
"Aunt Sally, have you seen
Sonic anywhere?" Tails asked princess Sally the leader of
knothole village, Sally looked at
the two tailed fox and frowned when she realized that
she didn't know where Sonic was.
"I don't know Tails honey, did
you check his hut?" Sally answered, when he nodded yes
she frowned again for the last time
she had seen or heard Sonic had been yesterday
night.
"Aunt Sally I even went inside
thinking he might be asleep but he wasn't there, but I saw
his gloves and shoes by his
bed," Tails said in a scared voice, Sally bit her lip now
worried for she knew that Sonic
loved his shoes and that he never took them off even
when he went to
sleep.
"Tails I want you to get
everyone you can find, I think that something has happened to
Sonic and we have to find him,"
Sally said and as she watched Tails now scared
whitened in fear, he nodded and then
ran out of her hut.
"Sonic... whats happened to you
and where are you, just please don't be dead because
I love you," Sally whisphered
to herself, taking a deep breath she stepped out of her hut.
Amethyst watched the soft ones look
for Sonic, even though the ninjas robe was purple
and was in direct sight Amethyst was
using a ninja skill to keep anyone from seeing him.
*The master will be pleased*
Amethyst thought to himself, he had been sent there to
make sure that any traces Sapphier
might had left behind would not lead the soft ones
to them.
*I will stay a few more minutes and
then leave* Amethyst thought, he smiled to himself.

Chapter Two
Sapphire bowed to his opponant, at
the moment Sapphier was fighting a fellow Ninja
who was known as Galena. Galena was
the same age as Sapphier except Galena was
blind, Galena had been blind for as
long as Sapphier could remember and as children
they had grown up for awhile
togeather.
He smiled as Galena pulled out a Bo
its first choice of a weapon, nodding his head he
pulled out his sword a Katana. They
then began to fight, he felt himself relax as they
fought each other, this brought back
good memories.
Finally they moved onto there
secondary weapons, he chose his Shurikens and Galena
chose the Shi. The battle was short
and Sapphier was the victor, during the battle if
anyone was watching it
would of looked like two different coloured blurs were moving
around the room almost to fast to
watch.
"I win Galena," Sapphier
said as they bowed to each other, Galena and himself were
almost as good as each other but
Galena still had a few tricks to learn that he himself
already knew.
"Yes you have Sapphier, it is
very hot today so do you want to go swimming?" Galena
asked and Sapphier said yes, the one
bad part about swimming was that they had to
take off there robes and people
could identify there faces.
Later in his room
Sapphier took off his Ninja clothing, in the three months since he had
returned he had grown up to the
height of five feet and he hardly even looked like Sonic
anymore.
For one thing his cheek bones had
become more pronounced and also he now brushed
his spines down, he tied them into a
simple ponytail. Another thing was that when he
wasn't in his Ninja
garb he wore a grey t- shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.
Before he left his room he grabbed a
towel, swimming trunks and then headed towards
Galena's room, he knocked on the
door and a second later it opened. There stood a
female silvery blue Echidna around
the age sixteen, she stood below average height
and if she hadn't looked mature for
her age people would of thought her a child.
"Hi Gale, ready to go?"
Sapphier asked, gale was his nickname for the blind Echidna
by using the first four letters in
Galena's name.
"Ready to go Saph," she
answered with a smile, Saph was his nickname she had made
up for him that was short for
Sapphier. He noticed that she was wearing a sleaveless
white t-shirt, blue jeans,
and toeless white sandles. In her arms was her towel and her
bathing suit, a bathing suit no
child would of been able to wear without certain things
older people had.
He led the way to the small lake
they were going to swim in, even though Gale had
developed a sixth and seventh sence
over the years he still had to lead her to certain
areas only he knew of.
Soon both of them were splashing and
diving under the lake water, early in her life Gale
had found out that while she was
blind she was also an excellent swimmer.
Half an hour later they returned to
the place of Ninjas and put on there Ninja garb once
again, all emotions left them for
emotions could be the downfall of a Ninja in some
situations.
Sapphier walked silently through the
place of Ninjas, the master had given him a task.
the task was to gather a very
special herb in the mountains, the herb was very
poisoness to the touch and could be
used in many things (not just a poison)

Chapter Three
Obsidian passed
Sapphier supplies, Obsidian had known Sapphier since they were
very small children and thought
Sapphier as a younger brother. Underneath his shin
black Ninja robes he was an eighteen
year old black wolf who was actually quite tall, his
large golden eyes always showed all
his emotions.
"When will you be returning
Sapphier?" Obsidian asked his golden eyes bright with
questions, Sapphier finished putting
his supplies away and answered.
"I will be returning in about
two weeks or more Obsidian," Sapphier said, Obsidian
frowned not liking the idea of
Sapphier going away. The last time Sapphier had left here
Sapphier had been five years old and
he hadn't returned till he was sixteen, he
remembered the news when he was
seven that Sapphier had lost his memory and that
the soft ones had him.
"Be careful Sapphier, I don't
kow why but I have a feeling that something bad is going to
happen very soon," Obsidian
said and sapphier nodded, he also had this feeling.
"Sharpen all your blades, there
is a feeling of a battle soon," Sapphier said, he then
vanished on the way to do his task.
Obsidian went to his room and went
to his chest and opened it, inside it was his many
weapons with types of blades. He
started taking them out and he smiled, when
Sapphier told you to do something a
person usually did it.
"Do you ever miss not being
Kouvar anymore Obsidian, there wasn't much before the
Ninjas," Obsidian asked himself
in a whisper, he sighed and put on his wrist claw
gloves.
Galena frowned as she felt Sapphier
leave the place of Ninjas, a strange feeling of
death hung in the air that few
sensed. But she knew that it told her that something
terrible would happen soon, also
that it would change her life in some way.
Her left hand touched her necklace
around her neck, on it was a silver heart and she
knew that it was all that she had
left of her life before she had become Galena. Who she
was once she didn't know, she
actually didn't care.
"Sapphier my friend, walk
carefully in the light and shadows," Galena whisphered, this
was a way a Ninja could wish a
friend to go in safety.
It was getting dark out when Jade
frowned, something was very wrong and she could
smell it. She slipped a tanto into
her left hand and went to see if she could find out what
was wrong, Jade never had a chance
to scream as she died.
The SwatBots marched through the
Place of Ninjas, there orders were to kill all the
Ninjas and to not let any escape
alive.
"YOU ARE TO BE KILLED BY THE
ORDERS OF DOCTOR ROBOTNIK THE RULER
OF MOBIUS, RESISTANCE IS
FUTILE," the SwatBots drowned all at once in there
robotic voices, the Ninjas spotted
them and quickly escaped, but the escape was not
without some of the Ninjas getting
hurt badly.
Over twenty Ninjas were killed by
the SwatBots but the rest escaped, of the five hundred
SwatBots Robotnik had sent only ten
of these returned.

Chapter Four
Knuckles an Echidna and guardian of
the Floating island grinded his teeth in frustration,
a week ago he had found a beautiful
silver box in a cave. But he had found that the
metal had been melted
in key places so he wasn't able to open it, he was now in
Knothole village waiting for Rotor
to get it open.
'Hello Knuckles," Knuckles
turned around and smiled, it was Tails the two tailed fox who
was Sonics best friend. He then
frowned when he noticed that Sonic wasn't with Tails,
he looked around wondering where
the blue hedgehog could be.
"Where's Sonic?" he asked
and he wished then that he hadn't asked, Tails face fell and
his eyes filled with tears. Knuckles
bit the inside of his left cheek, with this reaction he
knew that something very bad must of
happened to Sonic.
"Knuckles don't you know,
Sonics been missing for three months now," Tails said in a
voice that sounded like it was about
to break, then Tails ran away from Knuckles in
tears.
"It's true Knuckles, Sonic
vanished one night and we still haven't found any clues," a
voice said, Knuckles saw that it was
Sally and he also noticed that she needed sleep
very badly.
"How did that happen?" he
asked her, she sighed sadly and he knew that she didn't
know.
"Princess Sally, Princess
Sally," a breathless voice suddenly called, Sally and Knuckles
looked up to see a middle aged cat
running towards towards them with something in its
arms.
"I'll see you later Knuckles, I
have to attend to something," Sally said and he nodded,
Sally and the cat ran into the
medicle hut.
"Knuckles I've got it
open!" he heard Rotor call from within Rotors hut, quickly he entered
and went to a table where the now
open box was placed. Carefully Knuckles reached in
and pulled out a huge envelope, he
could tell that it had once been white but time had
changed its edges to yellow and
brown.
Carefully with two fingers he opened
the envelope, he wondered what was so important
in this envelope that it had been
buried in a cave. His fingers detected some papers
inside and he carefully
slid them out, he realized that they were photos of some kind and
he quickly studied them and there
were five of them.
The first one was of himself in a
field o flowers waving at someone beyond the person
holding the camera, he also noticed
that he looked to be around four of five in the
picture. The next picture was of
himself and another Echidna, they were placing flower
wreaths on each ithers heads and
smiling. She had silvery blue fur and blue eyes, for
some reason she seemed to remind him
of something but not what. The last three
pictures were of himself
and the other Echidna in different places and always smiling, he
turned the pictures over and noticed
the dates the pictures were taken and he also saw
her name.
"Who are you T'ana-Lii, why
don't I remember you but I see you in these pictures with
me?" Knuckles asked the
pictures, they of course couldn't answer him. Finally he pulled
the final objects
out of the envelope, there was another photo, a newspaper clipping,
and also a beatiful painting of
T'ana-Lii.
The photo was of her again at a
birthday party and he knew that it was hers, she was
holding up a beautiful heart shaped
silver locket and was also hugging him. The
newspaper article made him cry fo it
said that T'ana- Lii was presumed dead after a
huge explosion and that no body had
yet to be found a month after.
