Prison Island
Knuckles travelled from Green Hills to Prison Island. He started to become suspicious of Dr. Robotnik after listening to what Sonic told him. He ran behind a wall, peaking into the main department. He couldn't see Robotnik, so he broke the wall using his fists before even checking if Robotnik was in the top floor. Clearly Knuckles had forgotten he has a cargoship with him that he could have used to fly at the top of the laboratory, and see if Robotnik was there instead.
At the ground floor was Shadow, sat on the end of the steps.
"You again." Shadow said.
"Out of my way!" Knuckles shouted back.
"No." Shadow replied.
"Get out of my way or-"
"Or what? If you want me to get out of your way, then you'll have to move me yourself."
"Fine, I WILL!"
Knuckles dashes in with his big fists, but Shadow easily avoids. Shadow uppercuts Knuckles and pulls out a rifle.
"Dodge this!" Shadow yelled.
"What? Is that a gun?" Knuckles asked.
"Yes, it is. Now I'll be asking the questions."
"Just put the gun down." Knuckles said.
Shadow puts the rifle away.
"What are you doing here? What is your purpose?" Shadow asked.
"I'm looking for Robotnik. Do you know where he is?"
"Why, why are you looking for him?"
"The Master Emerald is in his hands. I'm a guardian over it."
Shadow scoffed and moved out of Knuckles' way. Knuckles gave Shadow a shove and then ran up the stairs.
"You can also use the lifts; I'm sure that would make things quicker for you." Shadow exclaimed.
Knuckles ignored Shadow and continued to make his way up the steps. Shadow laughed at Knuckles whilst he watched him run up the stairs.
Maria arrived and said, "Who was that?"
"A guardian of the Master Emerald." Shadow laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" asked Maria.
"Just." Shadow said.
At the top floor, Knuckles stood behind the door and looked through the peak hole. He could see that Robotnik was experimenting on the Master Emerald. Knuckles heard Robotnik say that he wants to take the energy from the Master Emerald and import it into his machines and badniks. Knuckles gasped, then he saw that Robotnik's room was filled with Swatbots. Even if Knuckles attempted to attack and take the Emerald back, he was hugely out-numbered. So Knuckles turned around and decided that he would make his way back to Angel Island and get some help. Knuckles headed for the lifts. He pressed the button and waited for the lift. When the doors opened, Shadow and Maria walked out. Knuckles gave Shadow a stirn look and then walked in the lift. Once Knuckles had reached the main department, he left the building (through the wall that he broke). Then, he hopped into his cargoship and headed for Angel Island.
Green Hills
"I'm not liking this Amy Rose Sonic. She follows you everywhere." Aleena said.
"Yeah... Me too. But unfortunately we have to keep her here, she has nowhere else to stay." Sonic replied.
"Well, you're right I guess. Will you be going again son? Will you go to Prison Island?" She asked.
"A hedgehog's gotta do what a hedgehog's gotta do." Sonic said.
"As you say Sonic. Just be careful, alright? Don't break the Tornado, it means a lot to me."
Sonic nodded and turned away. He headed for Prison Island.
Angel Island
"Knuckles!" June shouted.
"June..." Knuckles said.
"I'm so glad you're back! What's the long face for?" She asked him.
"Uh..."
Suddenly, Luger comes into their presence and sees Knuckles.
"Knuckles!" Luger shouted angrily.
"Uh... Yes?" Knuckles replied.
"How could you take the Master Emerald with you without permission?! You know that it was entrusted to us by Aleena! She wouldn't be happy if she found out you've taken it elsewhere..." Luger said.
"I had to. I was told that Sonic would come after it, so I had take it somewhere safe."
"Hasn't Angel Island been safe enough for the Emerald for all these years!? How could you do this? And who is Sonic? What? Has he taken the Master Emerald from you now as well?" Luger yelled.
"No. I think Sonic is on our side. Robotnik was trying to take the Master Emerald's energy and use it for his own creations."
Luger and June, "KNUCKLES!!!"
Luger said, "You two better make a move... right away! We can't let that man mess with the Master Emerald, take it back!" Luger exclaimed.
Knuckles and June nodded at each other, and then they jumped inside of Knuckles' cargoship.
Prison Island
In a flash, Sonic appeared at Robotnik's lab. He saw that there was a hole in the wall, so he ran straight into the building. Tails followed on.
"Where's Buttnik?" Sonic said.
"Here I am!" Robotnik shouted.
Dr. Robotnik whistled and called for his Swatbots to attack.
The Swatbots shot missiles at Sonic. Sonic dodged the missiles and hopped onto the back of a Swatbot. He pulled off the cover, and ripped out the Swatbot's battery. The bot malfunctioned and tumbled onto a few other Swatbots. Sonic bounced off a couple more bots but just as he thought he had defeated them all, Robotnik brought out some more.
"Huh?! You've gotta be kidding me..." Sonic said.
"Fed up yet Sonic?" Robotnik asked.
"No! I'll never get tired of this!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Let's see just how amazing you are then." Robotnik said.
Sonic leaped into action and destroyed dozens of robots. Everytime he thought he was about to win, Robotnik kept bringing out more of his robots.
"Wha-? Just how many of these things do you have?!" Sonic asked.
"Enough to turn you into a blue jelly." Robotnik replied.
"Ha! You bet!"
Sonic ran in circles countless times, making the Swatbots dizzy and causing them to tumble over. Sonic saw that more Swatbots were coming after him so he dashed straight out of the building and tried to escape.
"Man, I really don't know if I stand a chance this time - there's just too many of them!" Sonic said.
"Don't let him get away!" Robotnik screamed.
The Swatbots chased after Sonic. All of a sudden, Sonic had come to a dead end. There was a cliff that stopped Sonic from being able to run any further. And before he knew it, he was surrounded by a group of Swatbots.
The Swatbots edged up closer on Sonic. Sonic slowly walked backwards as the Swatbots got closer and closer to him. Sonic was beginning to lose his hope. Shortly after, Dr. Robotnik came to taunt Sonic with his victory.
Meanwhile, Tails snuck into Robotnik's lab and flew up to the top room. He saw where Robotnik was keeping the Master Emerald and he managed to pull it out of it's container.
"You evil man! So you wanted to use the Master Emerald's energy for your own inventions?! Well if my name is Tails, you'll never be able to do that!" Tails said to himself.
Tails took the Master Emerald with him and escaped the lab through the roof.
Tails laughs, "Ho, Robuttnik will be so mad when he gets back."
"I could push you off this cliff right now if I wanted to... But because I'm so generous, I will just roboticize you instead..."
But Sonic was in luck. Knuckles and June arrived at the right time. Though Knuckles was heading for Green Hills to ask for Sonic's help to defeat Robotnik, it seemed he bumped into them on the way. Knuckles jumped out of his cargoship immediately. He sprinted straight into battle, using his fists to demolish the bots in his path. Knuckles quickly grabbed Sonic's arm and saved him from falling off the cliff.
"Huh!?!" Robotnik said.
"That's right Robotnik! You can't hurt anyone who's innocent whilst I'm around!" Knuckles exclaimed.
Knuckles attempted to attack Robotnik, but Robotnik swiftly escaped in his airship.
"Wimp!" Knuckles shouted.
"Huh? What's going on here?" Sonic asked.
"You were right Sonic. Robotnik is evil!" Knuckles exclaimed.
"If only you listened to me earlier! None of this would've happened!"
"Look Sonic, I'm sorry. But I really desperately need your help now."
"Come with me. We're going to Green Hills!" Sonic said.
Green Hills
"So, what do you think? You like this place?" Sonic asked.
"I guess it's alright. Not as nice as Angel Island though." Knuckles answered.
"Well, you're right, Angel Island sounds like it would be a pretty place."
"Hey... Just, who are you exactly?" Knuckles asked.
"I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. I live with my mom, and my best friend named Tails."
"Your mom? And who is that?"
"I'm gonna show you... In a minute." Sonic said.
Eventually, Tails arrives at Green Hills with the Master Emerald. He saw Sonic and Knuckles sat on the grass.
"Sonic... Knuckles?!" Tails exclaimed.
"Tails!" Sonic yelled.
"What's he doing here?" Tails asked.
"Don't worry. Knuckles and I are on the same side." Sonic said.
Knuckles said, "You must be Tails. Nice to meet you."
"I think I've something that belongs to you." Tails said.
Tails goes inside of the Tornado and pulls out the Master Emerald.
"Here you go Knuckles. Now just make sure that you take care of it." Tails said.
"Thanks!" Knuckles replied.
Soon, Aleena came and saw her son with Knuckles and Tails.
"Knuckles?" Aleena said.
"Aleena Mother?" Knuckles replied.
Aleena walked closer to Knuckles.
"Are you? ..." Knuckles said curiously.
"Yes. Sonic is my son." Aleena said.
"Sonic?" Knuckles said.
Sonic nodded at Knuckles and smiled.
"In that case, this gem doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you Sonic. You must protect it for your mother's sake." Knuckles said.
"No need! You should keep it. Besides, who else is capable of handling such a responsibility other than you?" Sonic replied.
"Well, if you say so... Then I'll continue fulfilling my duty."
All of them smile at each other.
"And who is this?" Aleena asked.
"She's June. A close friend of mine." Knuckles said.
"June?! My, you've changed a lot! Welcome!" Aleena exclaimed happily.
"Thank you Mother." June said.
Knuckles asked, "Sonia... Manic, Scourge? Where are they?"
Aleena replied, "They're with Jules. We came here when we found out about Robotnik... To stop the chaos here in Green Hills..."
"I hope they're all alright." Knuckles said.
"They will be, I pray." Aleena said.
"Well, I think we'll have to make our way back to Angel Island before Luger Father gets mad with us."
"Wait Knuckles!" Aleena shouted.
Knuckles turned around.
"Give our greetings to Luger, he's family to us too." Aleena said.
Knuckles nodded and continued to make a move with June.
