Aishintene Motto Chapter 9

Mission Complete

            Eggman growled as he looked at the many screens around him. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles had come aboard his ship and none of the robots were able to stop them. The three of them grew closer and closer to the room that he and the gem was in now. Nothing to worry about he thought, only a few more adjustments to the machine and it would be fixed. There was no way they would reach the gem before he got his hands on it.

Sapphire just watched the man in silence. She was not one to talk to people who were trying to kill her. She was not the normal damsel in distress where the girl would scream and cry and tell the person they were wrong for doing it. She didn’t care. She let herself be taken and she didn’t see in any reason with trying to reason. If that was possible in the first place then why take the person at all. She soon found her mind thinking back to when she was a little girl spending her time with Knuckles and taking care of Tails.

The orange vixen watched as her baby brother ran circles around her. She smiled softly but soon with a loud thud he fell to the ground. She gasped as she ran over seeing the tears in the little pups eyes as he started to cry. A small scrape on his knee now and Sapphire got onto her knees.

“Oh little brother, its just a little starch. She leaned over picking him up in her arms as she kissed his forehead and started to hum to calm the little fox down as he kept crying. “Shh now Miles. Sister Sapphire will make things all better.” After a while the pup stopped crying as he looked at her and smiled. Sapphire found herself smiling back holding him in a tight motherly embrace. He gladly returned it feeling the warmth that his mother once gave him alive and well in his older sister.

Now with there parents gone all they had were each other. Tails could easily see the great likeness with his sister Sapphire from there mother. She had the same blue eyes the same yellow orange fur the same length of here. She even smelled like her Tails just closed his eyes as she held onto Sapphire tightly his two tails bouncing happily.

Sapphire opened her eyes, and for once the emotion of sadness swept over her. She would never again see her brother if this plan came into action.
“Miles..” Her thoughts then wondered to the red echidna.


The young vixen was outside playing hide and seek. Now having lost her friend she got worried.

“Knuckles! Knuckles where are you?” Unknowing to her he was sitting right above her in a tree. “Come on Knuckles this is not funny.” The little echidna was laughing softly but then heard the vixen sniffle softly. He could see now she was crying apparently very worried about him. He sighed softly as he jumped out of the tree.

“Sapphire I’m right here don’t cry.” The vixen looked up and a cry of happiness came from her as she hugged the echidna. He smiled and hugged her back and as he was about to speak she poked him hard on the forehead.

“Your it!” She giggled as she ran off.” The echidna muzzle turned red. It was the third time she had gotten him like that.

“No fair Sapphire you cheated!!” he soon ran off to chase after her laughing the whole way.  

Sapphire closed her eyes tightly fighting back tears.
“What have I done, Knuckles, Miles.” She then stood up as she waked over to the front of the cage where she saw Eggman. She went to touch her hand past the lock but was shocked. She cried out weakly. She fell back hard looking up at him.

“Oh no my dear you can not get out of there no matter how you try.” Sapphire eyes glowed softly as she put her hands out sending a sphere of light at it. It was soon fizzled out. “Oh I remember how powerful you are so you can not get out.” Sapphire growled. She wanted to yell but she knew yelling solved nothing.


Knuckles was soon coming close to the control room where Eggman and Sapphire was. As he was approaching the door he was stopped by a huge robot. It looked to be in the E series but he did not recognize it. He then went to punch the robot but there was no success. He found himself stumbling back holding his hand in a slight pain. He looked up as the robot pointed its hand at him. It changed shape into a barrel of a laser gun. As the robot fire Knuckles jumped out of the way. He growled softly.

“Oh please you really think a laser gun to stop me.” He grinned running circles around the robot watching him going into circles trying to follow him. After a while going in the circle the robot shoots a hole into the ground. Knuckles runs over and he pounds the ground hard causing the ground to fall where it was cut sending the robot down. Knuckles snickers and soon goes past the circle heading to the control room. He soon reaches the door and kicks it down with his foot. “Eggman!” The scientist turned and looked at him. Sapphire jumped up when she saw him.

      “Knuckles!” She ran over to the front of the cage. For a second she found herself wanting to reach out to him again and just cry for him to save her. She then stopped herself feeling that was a huge sign of weakness and would not allow such a thing. “Get me out of here Echidna!” Knuckles turned and looked at her. As much as he wanted to growl and yell at her he was happy to hear her voice because that means she was still there and nothing had happen to her. The echidna turned and looked at Eggman as he started to back away. Once again he had left himself with no kind of guard and he was easily could be knocked out. As he kept moving backwards he found himself back into a corner. He then laughed as he pushed a button on the side of the wall. Sapphire looked up just in time to see a sea of the purple liquid fall onto her. Knuckles cried out in anger as he punched Eggman once hard enough into the control panel of the computer is started to spark as he ran over to Sapphire smashing the cage without regards of the shocking he was getting. He soon lifted the vixen onto his shoulders keeping her off the ground. She looked at him weakly her legs numb now. “You came back for me?”

“Of course I did. Jeez did you really think I was going to let you be captured. I c-“ He turned to hear Eggman laugh once again.

“Poor Knuckles you think that will save you.” Eggman had gotten his hand on a remote and was about to push it when a blue blur flew past him knocking it out of his hand. Sonic turned and looked at him grinning.

“And you thought Knuckles would come here alone?” Tails soon came running seeing Sapphire holding onto knuckles. He was relieved to see she was okay but he felt a bit jealous that Knuckles had gotten to her first. He wanted to save her.
Eggman growled as he started down the four of them. They though that they had won; but it was far from over and he was going to get that gem if it was last thing he did. He turned to see the mass computer sparking wildly giving him the signal that it was only a matter of time before it blew sending the ship down wherever it happened to be. Somehow he managed to get to a small cabinet and open it pushing another button. As he did so the room started to fill with the purple liquid as knuckles held Sapphire up higher keeping her from touching it. He looked at Sonic.

“Ger her out of here, if this stuff touches her she’s a goner.” Sonic took Sapphire but the passed her to Tails.

“Go Tails, we will take care of Eggman.”

“OH NO YOU DON’T!!” He laughed as he slammed another button with a door opening a robot almost the size of the room walked in. Tails held Sapphire in his arms as she held him back. If it wasn’t for the fact her body was going numb she would be able to do on her own.

“Little brother, I’m sorry.” Tails looked at her and as much as he wanted to yell at her he was just happy to see she was alive. He hugged her.

“We will talk about this later sister. Right now I have to get you out of here.” Knuckles looked up at the two kits for a while before there was a blast but felt himself grabbed by Sonic. He looked down to see a hole in the ground; the liquid was going down into it. He turned to see the smoke from the barrel of the gun. “Hold on sister..” Tails held onto her tightly as he made his way to the window. Eggman pointed.

“STOP THAT FOX!!” The robot aimed his cannon at Tails  but it was knocked off guard by Sonic.

“Do you really think we are going to let you shoot them? Aren’t they cute though brother and sister.” Sonic made a happy girlish sigh as Knuckles growled at him.

“There is no time for that Sonic!! We need to take care of this!” Sonic whistled playfully as he went and started to circle the robot as it tried to keep up with him. Eggman screamed at the top of his lugs at the robot to not bother with him and to shoot the foxes but he failed and the robot kept spinning. Knuckles then jumped up and hit the robot hard making it stumble back into the main computer smashing it. With this a red light started to flash.

“WARNING! WARNING! Total malfunction of navigation and landing gear. WARNING! Ship is on a crash course T minus ten seconds. Knuckles eyes lid up as he turned away. Sonic grinned as he ran to the window.

“See you around fat man!” Knuckles smashed the robot hard one more time punching a hole in him and soon took off to the window jumping out. When he went out he saw Sonic and Tails with Sapphire. Soon the three of them jumped off the ship as it crashed into the ocean. Knuckles looked over as it sunk in the water while Sonic managed to land on a piece of wood. Tails was still holding Sapphire as she hugged him deeply.

“Thank you all for coming after me. I don’t deserve people like you who care about me.” Knuckles yelled waving his hand at her.

“Will you shut up! That is what got you into this in the first place. You think no one gives a crap about you but that’s not true! You have Tails he’s your brother! And friends like us that care about you.” Sonic grins.

“And perhaps a lover too.”  Knuckles growls.

“Shut up before I knock you into the water Sonic.”

At the workshop Amy watches as the ship crashes into the water.

“Oh please let them all be ok. I couldn’t live without my Tails. She walked over to the edge of the runway and sighed weakly. After a few hours of waiting she gave up and was about to go in when she heard a familiar noise. She turned to see the Tornado. Tails was in the cockpit while Sonic and Sapphire sat at the top. Knuckles was hanging off the bottom. Amy jumped up happily as she waved. “Thank goodness they are all alive!” She felt her heart feel light as they came in to land. She ran over hugging Tails as he jumped up. “ Oh Tails!” Tails smiled as he hugged her back. Sapphire smiled weakly as she watched them hug happily.

“Need any help Saph?” Sapphire looked down to see Sonic holding his arms out to her. She smiled weakly taking the gesture. She soon jumped down into his arms.

“Thank you Sonic.” The hedgehog smiled and blushed weakly. Knuckles growled weakly as he turned away from him. He found himself grumbling. Sapphire turned and looked at him. She wondered why he was so upset.

“Knuckles, are you alright?” He turned away.

“I’m fine, I hope things work out for you and don’t forget you have friends that care.” Sapphire looked at him as he walked away. She then turned to Sonic who was still holding her up. He laughed.

“S-Sorry, You know, I uhh.. would you go out to a movie with me?” Knuckles almost stop dead in his tracks. He turned and looked at the vixen and she looked at him. He played it off as if he did not care. She then turned to Sonic.

“Sure Sonic, I will go to a movie with you.”

“Great.” Knuckles could hear Sonic chatting away as he took off running haring her voice say over and over sure. He couldn’t believe he just let that happen. He wanted to be with her. He knew of anyone that he would be able to take care of her.
