Hayley's Pov

I started to wake when Espio said something "Morning Princess." Espio said still carrying me "Espio what happened?" I said as I couldn't remembered what happened "We met with the others and your sisters and Daphne echoed about your position on Angel Island." Espio said putting me down "How are Maya and Pearls." I asked worried. "Don't worry Maya is with Sonic and Pearls is with Shadow and Shadow might have a new Maria." Espio said "Wait who's Maria?" I asked "Oh she's someone special to him, but with Pearls with him she reminds him of her." Espio answered "Well let's catch up with the others." I said "Yes let's." Espio agreed.

Espio's Pov

Me and Hayley were trying to catch up with the others. "Um Espio what if the Dark Ninja comes back?" Hayley asked starting to cry I pulled her into a hug and trying to calm her down "Don't worry besides the Dark Ninja will lose anyway." I said still hugging her "Hey Espio come on!" Charmy yelled "We're Coming!" I yelled back "Come up we don't want to keep them waiting." I said walking towards the exit Hayley just nodded and followed me I hold her hand because she's still worried about her sister and the Dark Ninja I'm trying to calm her down as much as possible.

Knuckles's Pov
We made it back to Angel Island "So this is the Master Emerald then?" Pearls asked tilting her head a little "Yes Pearls this is the Master Emerald and I guard especially from that "Bat Girl" over there." I said point at Rouge "Hey I don't try to steal it every little second!" Rouge said being sarcastic "Hayley!" Pearls yelled running towards Hayley knocking both of them over "It's been while Little Sis." Hayley said hugging her smiling "Where We're you though?" Maya said "I was trying to find my sister Daphne and what not." Hayley said getting up "So let's find those "positions" that Daphne was talking about." Vector said so we all look around the area and found four circles, D on one, H on the second one, M on the third one and P on the last one surrounding the Master Emerald. "Hayley do we have to stand on them?" Maya ask "If we want to find our sister then yes." Hayley said, Hayley and her Sisters stand in their position and they sank a little then a door opened under where the Master Emerald was held I was shocked I never knew that this was here before did Daphne had a connection with the Master Emerald?
