The Four Basic Laws of Gun Safety— Chaotix Style
Foreword
A few quick notes—the 'Four basic laws of gun safety' were created by Jeff Cooper. They are not in order in this story. Obviously I am not responsible for anything stupid you do with a gun. This story is based off a story my sisters, Russian Blue Witch and StoryMaker the Echidna, and I made up verbally. That's about it. Have fun.
Chapter One
"What are you guys doing here?" Some very peculiar folks were running around the Emerald shrine—taking photos!
"We're tourists," one said. Knuckles couldn't even tell what species the guy was. He was concealed behind some shades, baggy jeans, a sweatshirt, and a hat.
"But- But who let you in?" Knuckles objected. It was hard to get permission to go sight-seeing on Angel Island.
"I have connections." Some of the people began taking pictures again. Tourists on Angel Island? When was the last time that happened? Knuckles wondered. And somehow, he knew that they would be trouble.
"I want to get a nice shot of Knuckles on the Master Emerald!" another tourist announced. Knuckles was getting annoyed.
"Go tour somewhere else! The Guardian Memorial, the mountains, the Pasta Shop—Anywhere!"
"We already saw all those places." The tourist with the sweatshirt and hat started to set up a huge camera. Knuckles thought the guy was purple under all that clothing, but who could even tell? The whatever-it-is practically stuck his head in the camera. He aimed it at Knuckles, and… BANG! Knuckles suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. The tourist's hat fell off as the noise was heard, revealing a purple echidna with a robotic eye and spine. Knuckles toppled off the emerald, but as he hit the ground he somehow got back on his feet. The guardian threw himself on the echidna, realizing that the "tourist" must be a member of the Dark Legion. The purple echidna was still looking through the camera, and he was still holding something when Knuckles struck him. The echidna fell back, holding the gun he tried to conceal behind the camera. Bang! Bang! Bang! The echidna uselessly fired several times in the air. Knuckles' injured shoulder stung, but he snatched the gun away. He desperately tried to shoot his enemy. Click. He tried again. Nothing. Don't tell me it's out of ammo! Still, it wasn't useless. Knuckles turned the gun around and slammed the butt of the gun into the echidna's skull. But one of his fingers accidently knocked against the trigger. BANG! Pain flared through Knuckles' body as he blacked out. The gun had contained one last bullet.
