A/N: Yes I know I don't own Sonic X or any of the characters okay? And
Knuckles is now living in the same house as Sonic, why you ask, because I
say so. So Nyah! ^_-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A lime green echidna stood in the middle of a thick glass tube, she glared up at her captor irritated.
"Don't look so unhappy my little echidna friend, all I want for you to do is to tell me where the other emeralds are, then I'll let you go." The doctor said looking down at his prisoner. She appeared to consider this for a moment and she tapped on the glass, he bent down to he was face to face with the creature. She stuck her middle finger up at him and smacked the glass with her fists.
"Fine, be that way. I'll just torture it out of you." Dr. Eggman said, his moustache twitching with anticipation. The echidna's eyes widened in terror, she sighed and closed her eyes, she couldn't believe that she was going to have to do this.
Many miles away Knuckles jumped up in the air in shock.
"What in the name of Chaos?!" He exclaimed rubbing his skull.
"Don't sound so damn surprised Knuckles it's me." A female voice ran through his mind. Knuckles rolled his eyes then closed them to reply.
"What do you want, I thought I had gotten away from you by getting here." He replied agitated.
"Hah bloody hah Knuckles. As much as I hate to say it... I... I need your help okay?" the female voice snapped back just as annoyed.
"Give me one reason why I should help you" Knuckles shot back mentally.
"Because Eggman has captured me, disabled my powers and is about to torture me because I won't give him the location of the emeralds. So, indirectly it's your fault for letting the emeralds get loose again. Now, GET ME THE HELL OUTTA HERE!" The voice screamed in his mind.
"Fine, fine; I'll see what I can do." Knuckles replied silently as he closed the mental link between them.
Knuckles walked through the house until he came to where the tornado was located, luckily for him Sonic and Tails were already there.
"Hey Sonic, are you bored?" Knuckles smirked.
"So who is this girl then?" Sonic whispered to Knuckles as they both snuck through Eggman's base.
"It's complicated." Knuckles replied quietly.
"Try me." Sonic said rolling his eyes.
"Every Guardian is picked at random, we all have the mark of a crescent moon; anyway, also chosen is a... a mate for the Guardian, also with a moon." Knuckles said rolling his eyes.
"Well if you two are lovers, why have we never met her before?" Sonic frowned creeping through the corridor.
"We don't get on. At all. She's annoying, irresponsible, rude, REALLY irresponsible and incredibly childish." Knuckles said with a growl, "but dispute that, we can't risk Eggman using her to find the emeralds; hence the rescue mission." He added.
"Hey, Knux, is that her?" Sonic said peering around a door. Knuckles peeked around the corner to see the lime green echidna sitting dejectedly in the middle of a glass tube.
"Yes." Knuckles sighed, seeing that there was no one in the room he walked in and stood before the green echidna.
"Glass? That's all that was keeping you here? Are you deliberately annoying me now or are you just a lazy ass?" Knuckles demanded. The irate green echidna's reply was lost through the thick glass (A/N: but it probably wasn't PG-13 anyway ^_^) but the general gist of it was along the lines of "break the glass"
Knuckles rolled his eyes, being able to lip-read her answer perfectly; he drew back his fist and shattered the thick glass.
"It's about damn time!" the green echidna growled.
"Why didn't you break the glass yourself?" Knuckles asked again.
"That Eggman put this band on my head, I use my powers with it on and he tied my hands together." The green echidna grumbled.
"Powers?" Sonic asked as Knuckles removed the headband in question.
"She's telekinetic." Knuckles shrugged.
"And also able to talk for myself." She added throwing a venomous glare at Knuckles, she split the rope binding her hands together on some of the shattered glass.
"I'm Tai." She smiled holding out a hand to Sonic.
"Sonic. We need to get out of here before Eggman finds us." The cobalt hedgehog nodded.
"You mean I can't hunt him down and kill him?" Tai said annoyed.
"Sorry to disappoint." Knuckles said grabbing her by her wrist and dragging her out the door. The lime green echidna narrowed her eyes and all the control panels in the room blew up in a great fireball.
"Tai..." Knuckles said warningly as he dragged her down the corridor, "as much as you hate Eggman that is *not* going to help us escape stealthily."
"So?" Tai muttered unable to stop the stronger red echidna from dragging her by her collar.
"AWWW!" Amy screamed happily as she threw her arms around the new echidna.
"But you're so pretty, I never expected you to be!" Amy giggled stepping back to have a good look at Tai.
Tai stood a little taller than Amy, but still shorter than Knuckles. Short green braids of quills adorned her head hanging down in front of startlingly, blue eyes. They sparkled like blue diamonds in a pale blue, contrasting greatly to her green fur. She was wearing a long blue jumper that almost verged on a dress, the neck of it hung widely exposing lean shoulders as the jumper struggled to cling onto the edges of her shoulders. The sleeves of the pale blue jumper were long and slender green gloveless fingers peeked out from underneath them. Oddly enough her jumper displayed a crescent moon, which was curving up as opposed to down like Knuckles' one.
"What a pretty design!" Amy cooed looking closer at it.
"Yeah, the damn thing bleaches it's way through any clothing; it's so people can always tell I'm a guardian." Tai smiled embarrassed at Amy's enthusiasm.
"Yeah some guardian you are." Knuckles muttered.
"If you have something to say to me Knuckles," Tai began coldly as she turned to face the red echidna in question, "say it to my face."
"I said," He began darkly, "some guardian you are." Knuckles said emphasising every word,
"This coming from the echidna who's let the emerald shatter countless times, and is, in fact the reason why I was damn well taken prisoner by that... monster." Tai spat after mentioning Eggman, as if the very presence of him in conversation turned her mouth sour.
"How very lady-like." Knuckles said with a sneer.
"How very chauvinistic." Tai growled back.
"What's the deal with them?" Chris whispered to Sonic.
"No idea, Knuckles just said that they didn't get on." Sonic shrugged bemused, he had never seen Knuckles act like this.
"Whatever Captain Gullible, I don't have time for you and your stupid reasoning; I'm going back and taking Eggman down once and for all." Tai said coldly as she turned to the door.
"No way." Knuckles said grabbing her wrist and pinning her to the wall. "We know by now that your "go in all guns blazing" approach never works." Knuckles ordered, glaring at Tai's blue eyes.
"There is no "we" Knuckles." She growled shoving Knuckles away, "There's me and then there's you, and you are less than pond scum." She added venomously but none the less stalked off upstairs as opposed to leaving the house. Knuckles growled to himself, punched a wall and stormed off into the kitchen.
"I feel sorry for Knuckles." Cream said softly.
"Why?" Amy asked confused.
"Because miss Tai is so upset at Knuckles and he loves her so." Cream sighed sadly.
"What? They were at each others throats a minute ago!" Chris said shocked.
"But he looks at her as if he loves her, didn't you see how upset at what she said? They must have had a big fight years ago..." Cream said quietly speaking wiser than her years.
A/N: Hee hee, well I hope any Blue and Cole fans will enjoy this fic just as much, I was toying with this idea towards the end of Feeling Blue and I hope you'll all like it.
