[If anyone has anything I need to clear up about this, lemee know. Also further to the west is the marble garden zone aparently. Trying to go somewhat off the Rainbow Valley wiki page.]
Over the skies of the recovering angel island zone, a small hovercraft would be puttering along. A certain blue hedgehog was riding atop it as it sped past the scenery. The rainforest was showing positive signs of recovery after Robotnik firebombed the area years ago in an effort to eliminate the hedgehog, with trees breaking the six foot line again, the foundation of a canopy reforming.
Espio was at the helm, focused on keeping the aircraft steady. After all, he had rarely taken the time to commendeer one of the doctors vehicles for his own use. The ride would be a little bumpy as he pressed on past a certain landmark Sonic may well recognize, the waterfall he first battled the doctor on angel island. The blown out bridge was repaired now, bushes rustling as they flew by. Aparently they were being watched. A few minutes later he would land the aircraft upstream, at a small clearing that quicky gave way past the horizon to a vast forest, and what was likely mushroom hill further in to the north. The clearing, and in all directions from this point on were adorned by a multitude of various plants, flowers and shrubs of various colors. To the west was the point of intrest however; a hill that lead to a cluster of various huts, buildings and other facilities that were hidden among trees growing in that direction. Most of the roofs were were comprised of broad tree leaves, or had vines growing along the top of them as well to make them more inconspicious. The village was constructed in a manner that kept it difficult to see from the air without knowing its general location. In fact the buildings themeselves looked like part of the fauna and trees they were blending in with to make themselves near invisable from ground level as well.
The aircraft shook a little as Espio landed it, wiping his brow as he powered down the engines. "That was harder than I thought...", he commented to himself. With a button press the side doors opened as he got to his feet. "All right, everyone out. My allies shall arrive shortly." At that moment in fact, four blurs shot from the trees from the North, taking up positions around the craft to secure it. Two of them took up a stance by the rear corners of the craft, dressed in an emerald green ninja uniform that hid much of their appearance save for their eyes and horns. Both of them had a kunai drawn in their right hand. The two that took the front wore the same uniform, but in brown. It was pretty clear that they were chamealeons like Espio. As the ship hissed to a full shutdown, Espio leapt out the ship ahead of the others. The group immediatly recognized him, taking a bow in front of him as they put away their weapons. Aparently he was well respected. "We have one wounded and one incapacitated as I mentioned. Ready your stretchers and we will guide the others to the village.", he commaned to the others. Each of them nodded as both pairs walked to the nearby trees they came from, each emerging with a wood and cloth stretcher to carry Chadin and Gerald in. As the others made their way out, the pairs of ninja would begin to work their way inside the aircraft, one group easing Chadin into a stretcher, then Gerald. "The village is that way.", he said as he pointed to the sea of trees below the hill to the west. "As soon as your friends are secured we'll move out.", Espio said as he stretched, and took a moment to quickly reload his bracers.
It wouldn't be long though before someone brought up the issue of a strange energy field surrounding the nearby village that became visable as one grew close, with hues of forest green, white and the occosional patch of see through space. Fortunatly for the ninja, this was only visable to others in the village's immediate area from the ground, by about 20 feet or so. Should Sonic attempt to enter the village ahead of the others after Espio pointed in the village's direction, he would be greeted by...an invisable wall just outside the village's perimiter.
