Jimmy was sleeping when he heard a crash and awoke with a fright. "What was that", said Jimmy as he hoped out of bed and ran down stairs only to see his father lying on the ground. "Father"! Yelled Jimmy. He ran to his fathers side." Its to late", said a voice in the shadows. A tall man stepped out of the shadow with a gun in his hand. "He's dead, I killed him", said the man, and at that moment Jimmy's older brother Seth ran down the stairs. He's an echidna like jimmy but with shorter dreads." hats going, on, why is dad sleeping on the floor", asked Seth
"He's not sleeping he's dead", said man. Jimmy was quietly crying by his fathers side, all he felt was anger and wanted to kill the man and of a sudden he felt a weird feeling in his hand." what's happening", said Jimmy
His knuckles started forming two sharp spikes on both hands. "RRAAAGGG", screamed Jimmy as he ran toward the man. "No, stop"! Yelled the man, but it was too late, he ran his knuckles through the mans chest and had him against the wall.
"Jimmy", screamed Seth." You killed my father"! Screamed Jimmy." But he's not your real father". Said the man" I am". Then his head dropped and he was dead due to the loss of to much blood. Jimmy didn't know what to believe or what he had done but then Seth came up to him and said" Jimmy its time we run away, run somewhere far away and start a new life". Jimmy nodded and they ran out of the house into the woods and just kept on running and running.
Over the next two weeks of stealing food and moving from location to location they learned that they were not normal. Jimmy had two sharp edges on his knuckles so he nicknamed himself Knuckles. Seth could grow his fingernails out to act as claws and he acted like a wild animal so he nicknamed himself Saber claw. One day after eating stolen food they were walking down the street and saw a poster. Knuckles saw it and kept walking but Saber claw starred at it. Knuckles looked back and said" Come on what's the hold up"." I have an idea", said Saber claw, "Come have another look at this poster".
Knuckles walked over and read over the poster."200 die in plane crash", said Knuckles confused," How is this going to help us"?" No not that, THAT", said Saber claw pointing to poster it said join the U.S Army and serve your read the poster and looked at Saber claw. "You aren't serious are you", said Knuckles. "Yeah I'm sure, we have no purpose in the world", said Saber claw", stealing food, always moving around that ends here. If we join then we will have meaning again and if we die.... well no one will miss us anyways". Knuckles thought it over for a second and finally said "Ok I'm in". Then the two brothers went off to join the army.
