Chapter 1
Chaos, the God of Destruction
It all started on the floating island, Angel Island. It was a dark and stormy night, but that didn't bother Knuckles the Echidna, the sole guardian of the Master Emerald. In the distance, a flying vessel circled the island, but Knuckles was meditating on the alter of the Master Emerald at the time and didn't hear it.
"My name is Knuckles, the guardian of the Master Emerald. I don't know why I was appointed on this job… this job that I am destined to do… FOREVER!" Knuckles said in his head while meditating.
There was one thing that interrupted his daily meditating that night. It was the rumbling he heard behind him, and his spirit that felt a shock. The Master Emerald has been disturbed.
A blue liquid creature stood in front of him, with green eyes that stared at him fiercely. Behind it was… a shattered Master Emerald!
"Hey! What are you doing here?" Knuckles yelled at the figure. "Did you do this! I'll get you for that!"
Knuckles threw one-two punches and a power jab at it, but all it had to do was jump to dodge it. It came down and punched the ground with such force that Knuckles flew off the alter. Knuckles, who got up determined to beat up the figure, ran up the stairs of the alter, but the figure was gone. Not only that, but without the power of the Master Emerald, Angel Island would crash down into the ocean. Knuckles, though, glided off the island to safety in Station Square.
