An idea I just thought of, hope it works out. I own nothing.

Chapter 1: The Offer

It was a calm and sunny day on Angel Island. At the alter of the Master Emerald, Knuckles was laying down by his precious stone resting in the glorious sunlight. It was just one of those days where doing nothing didn't seem that bad for the red echidna. It wasn't until he heard somebody rushing through the trees on his island that he got out of his relaxed state.

"Sonic" he thought. Just as the thought crossed him, the blue blur was standing before him.

"Hiya Knuckles!" said Sonic as he walked up the steps to the emerald shrine.

"What do you want, Blue Buffoon?" asked Knuckles, staring Sonic down.

"The President has a proposition for us at his office," he explained "and wants everyone to come."

"Everyone?" inquired the guardian.

"Ya, me, you, Amy, Tails, Shadow and Rouge." Knuckles winced as Sonic put some emphasis on the last name.

"What is this meeting about?" wondered Knuckles.

"I dunno, I think it probably has something to do with Eggman though, he has a lot of power now."

Knuckles reflected on that last thought. Eggman now had moved on from Station Square, and now took over another country successfully without force. The people there welcomed him as their liberator from their old government. He now has infinite resources of metal, oil and most importantly of all: manpower. Not only does he have his robotic empire, but an army of men to back it up. Eggman had a military stranglehold on the planet. Nobody knows when he will act, but it's about time somebody did something.

After a long pause, Sonic finally broke the silence.

"Are you in buddy?" asked the hedgehog.

"Yes, I will come to the meeting."

"Good, meet at his office in an hour." said the Blue Blur as he sped off.

Knuckles now had a system for guarding his emerald whenever he leaves his island. He attaches some jumper cables to a high voltage battery (which Eggman left after a battle a while back) and the emerald. Then, as he is about to leave, he takes a remote control that activates some pressure mines (again, left by Eggman) which surrounds the Master Emerald for about 50 feet. He can deactivate them with that same remote control when he gets back. It is a good system, and Knuckles is proud of how Tails set it up. That kid is a genius.

Knuckles activated his mines and sprinted towards the edge of his island. He jumped off and glided all the way to his destination.

At the president's office

Everyone arrived, and took a seat in front of the president's desk. There was some hushed chatter between everyone there.

"Alright everyone quiet down lets get this show on the road," said the president "As you may all know, the nation Eggman controls is growing in power and is also expanding. His expansion may be overseas, but that doesn't mean it's not our problem. We are taking him down, as he is a threat to our nation and will not hesitate to take us down as well. Any questions?" asked the president.

Shadow raised his hand and asked "Why do you need us?"

"Ah, good question. You see, we have an army of our own, but they lack the physical strength to walk into Eggman's base in his capitol to terminate his operations there. So you guys will spearhead this invasion. Anyone else?" Nobody raised their hands. "Good, you are all going to basic training in a minute."

"WHAT?" everyone exclaimed as a bus pulled outside the office door.

"Good luck!" Said the president.

"Dammit!" Was all Sonic could say before security guards pushed him towards the bus.

Good? Bad? R&R, I can't guarantee when the next update will be, but I will finish this story.
