Prologue
Here we arrive at Angel Island, where the King lives with his Queen to protect the Master Emerald, along with his people. The King is actually Knuckles, and his Queen is Tikal. They live with their echidna tribe, who work very hard to keep Angel Island in great condition. But not all seemed peaceful, as the palace where the Master Emerald stays was destroyed.
The Master Emerald was stolen, and Tikal was captured by an evil source, which he knew nothing about. Knuckles was on all fours on the ground, in tears. One of his assistance tried to calm him down, but there was nothing he could do. Knuckles became an emotional wreck, he punched every stoned pillars he sees.
"Knuckles, please calm down! You're not helping matters here!" Radger tried to help.
"CALM DOWN?! How the hell can I be calm at this moment?! My wife has been captured, as well as the Master Emerald!" Knuckles yelled.
"But Knuckles, you need to be calm in order for us to invest in this situation!" Radger explained.
"That's easy for you to say, it's not your wife that's been captured!" Knuckles yelled again.
"But Knuckles..." Radger tried speaking.
"Just leave me!" Knuckles yelled. Radger then bowed.
"As you wish." Radger stated. After that, he leaves the room. Knuckles' eyes were flooded with tears.
"Why did this have to happen?! The Master Emerald, and my Tikal! Gone!" Knuckles whimpered.
"I don't even know who, or what it was that captured her. It was so sudden. How am I meant to find any of them?" Knuckles though.
Knuckles had no idea what to do at this point. In the meantime, Tikal was in an place that she had no idea of. She felt like she was wrapped in chains, and everywhere she looked was nothing but darkness. There was no telling where she was. She was also flooding in tears.

Knuckles suddenly heard a plane engine, and looked up into the sky. He saw the Tornado reaching for Angel Island. Sonic and Tails were on the Tornado, but Knuckles just wondered what they were here for. The Tornado landed on the island, and stopped in front of Knuckles.
"Sonic? Tails? What are you guys doing here?" Knuckles asked in surprise.
"We have a tracker on the island, Knuckles. So we can tell if it's in danger or not." Tails replied.
"And we heard something happened here, so we came to investigate here." Sonic added.
"Oh, I see." Knuckles responded.
"Knuckles, what exactly happened here?" Sonic asked.
"It got her." Knuckles responded, as a sad tear fell from his eye.
