It was the color of his blood but the consistency of his diarrhea. It splattered and some of it missed the bucket. This is not the first warning sign he's seen. He pushes the thought away as he strains his eyes under the poor lighting. The master emerald shines brightly, but the color of the light makes it impossible for Knuckles to tell.
He looks out the cave and back at the emerald.
"Whatever you need to tell yourself, bro," he says out loud, digging at the dirt between his crossed legs. He ponders for a moment. He should get a rag. He should get the rag from the corner of the cave and mop that shit up and clean the rag. Maybe wipe down the emerald. He sees eternity through dust and fluidspots.
Something catches his attention. Something sinister.
He looks up from the dirt between his legs and crawls on his hands and knees over to the magnificent jewel.
Peering in. He feels his soul contracting and expanding simultaneously.
*ksssshhhhht*
"THAT's not an attitude you can take with ME, SONIC!" Amy proudly exclaims! crossing her arms and turning up her nose. "I'm a GIRL!"
"B-but Amy!" Sonic exclaims! Anime fall. "I was ONLY trying to find you a BIRTHDAY PRESENT!"
"YOU REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY SONIKKU?!" She exclaims! She hugs him because she is super kawaii but then she drops him quicker than a hot potato, or a hot onion for that matter. Anything you might drop that is hot. Embers. Cheeseburger. "WAIT a SECOND!" she 'members. "MY BIRTHDAY WAS YESTERDAY!"
"Uguuu~?! UWAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Amy has kicked him and he made that second sound while he was spiraling outward towards the sun.
*kssshhhht*
"H-hey uh. Knuckles? Bro?"
Sonic's voice startles the echidna, but he adjusts himself and he's fine. Blinks a couple of times. Rouge's titties bouncing in the reflection of his glassed over eyes. He speaks with some nasal blockage.
"Yo, waddup bro."
"You okay, bro? You mondo missed the wedding and Sally's mondomegasuper pissed."
"I had a staff infection," Knuckles mutters wetly, thinking he's lying through his teeth.
"Oh, uh. Do you doin' any better now? You, like, need anything?"
"I'm doin' pretty okay I guess," he says, thinking he's telling the truth. "Sometimes I sweat too much in this damn cave but what are you gonna do?! Give the cave air conditionin'?! Hahaha! Nawh, du. Nawh, mang. Science."
Sonic is cautiously approaching. With each step he knows something is coming but he doesn't know what.
*ksssshhhht*
"Sonic, baby?" shadow asks as he jacks his dick and licks his lips. Writhing and squirming in the sort of pleasure only a degenerate knows.
"Yeth, Thadow, My Love?" Sonic asks, his jittery little tongue flicking in and out of his puckering anus.
"I think I'm pregnant," Shadow moans. "It's gonna be a gay little baby boy!"
"ERMRRGGHGRRRRR-"

"How could you have sex with him, Sonic?!"
Robotnik chokes on his tears, bewildered. He's willing to die in this second, right now.
"It's all about the chilidog, RO-BUTT-NIK. And yours doesn't cut the mustard, bro! OR the CHILICHEESE!"
"PL-
*kssshhhht*
jjjjjjjjjjjjjJesus Christ dude! Are you nosebleeding onto your boner?!"
Knuckles looks down then he looks up. He definitely has a boner. "Sonic?" he asks. "Is that you?"
"What the fuck is wrong with you, bro?! You are MONDO not okay!"
"I'm fine dude," he says wiping his nose with his giant gloved fist. White fabric stained crimson. "Whoa. Thought my dizong looked blizack. Weird. Word."
"We mondo need to supersonic charge to the hospital, like now bro!"
"I'm fine," he weezes. "I just need a little emerald time. Emerald'll tell me when I'm sick and when I die. I just need a little jeweltime. Ewuuugggh?~"
Sonic grabs him by the shoulders and starts to drag him across the floor of the cave.
"We are fucking going to the goddamn hospit-"
That's when Knuckles goes nuts and starts flailing like a madman.
For reference, when Sonic has a badly injured knee, he can move at a brisk human walking pace. Dragging along Knuckles on his back? Less so on the briskness. Knuckles dragging the emerald behind them on a net? Far less brisk.

Amy examines the packet of razorblades in her hands before tearing them free. She only needs one. She tosses the rest carelessly onto the tile bathroom floor.
She's in the wedding dress, in the bathtub. The bathtub on legs she called it. The wedding on legs she called it.
Sonic ran quicker than you might drop a hot potato, or the business end of an iron while it's turned on and hot. There's no such thing as love. There's no such thing as love.

"You didn't do fine," Knuckles cries, his final mistake as Sonic leaves him behind in the desert. "I saw every fucking mistake you made and I jerked off to it, you asshole! You fucking look at me when I'm talking to you!"

"I'm glad we're friends," Sonic says, wrapping his arm around the neck of his little buddy, Tails. Tails, his little buddy. His little buddy Tails.
Tails, or Miles "Tails" Prower is called Tails because he has two tails. He uses them like helicopter blades! To fly! But he can't fly forever!.
