Chapter 1

dream

A light pink echidna ran into her room crying. "He never lets me do anything. I may be a princess, but that doesn't mean that I don't have feelings and want to have fun too. All I want to do is take a walk." She turns around and looks at her big open window. "Maybe I still can..." She thought aloud. She then jumped out of the window and landed on all fours and stood up. It was nighttime, the full moon sat right on the lake. She walked upto the lake and looked at the moon.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" a voice said. Near a cave entrance stood Knuckles, he was looking at the moon too. "I come up every night to watch it rise."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Knuckles, I'm the guardian of the Master Emerald and have been for a long time."

"Master Emerald?"

"The Emerald who gives the power to this island and is stronger than any other force imaginable."

"It sounds interesting."

"It is...at times...sometimes...I get pretty lonely though." Knuckles said looking at the ground.

"I'll come visit you! I've seen you down here some nights, you do look kind of lonely. Would it be ok, if I came down every night to visit you?"

"I don't mind. So...what was your name?"

"Gabby."

"Gabby? That's a pretty name. Yeah, you can come visit. Visit anytime you want."

"Gabby!" said an angry voice from her room.

"Uh oh, i'm in trouble now. Bye Knuckles! See you tomorrow!" Gabby said waving and running back into the house. Knuckles didn't say a word, he just waved.

dream ends

Knuckles sat up in his bed and shook his head. He looked very sad. He got out of bed and walked into the control room where everybody already was. "You ok, Knuckles? You look kinda sick." Chris said.

"I'm fine, it was just a...bad dream..."

"Alright...so Sonic where is it?"

"It's on an island not far from here." Sonic answered.

"What is?" Knuckles asked.

"We found another Chaos Emerald!" Knuckles looked at the ground and almost looked kind of sad.

vision

Gabby and Knuckles walked into a stone room and in the center of the room was the Master Emerald. "Oh Knuckles!" Gabby said looking at the Emerald. "The Master Emerald! Knuckles, it's beautiful." Knuckles couldn't take his eyes off of her.

"Yeah...it is..." Gabby looked at him and smiled.

"I'm so glad you brought me down here. I've been waiting to see it and wondered about it." She saw a glowing light from the other side of the room. She turned and she saw the seven Chaos Emeralds. "Wow. So those are the Choas Emeralds that I've heard so much about. They're beautiful."

"Gabby?" Knuckles asked. "I wanted to...give you something." Gabby looked confused as she turned to Knuckles.

"Really? You want to give me something? Nobody ever gives me anything."

"Well...here..." Knuckles handed Gabby a small box. Gabby opened it. Inside was a beautiful blue necklace in the shape of a heart.

"Knuckles, it's beautiful."

"It helps power the Master Emerald, see?" Knuckles pointed to the top of the emerald. On the very top in the center was a hole in the shape of the necklace. "Without it, the Master Emerald isn't as powerful as it is with it in. I'm trusting you. Trusting you to guard it with your life." Gabby nodded as she put it on.

"I will."

vision ends

Knuckles opens his eyes. "Knuckles? Are you ok, Knuckles?" Chris asked again.

"You were out of it for several minutes." Tails said

"Sorry." Knuckles said sitting down.

"Sorry? Is that all you have to say?" Amy yelled at him.

"Yeah." Knuckles said sadly closing his eyes again.

"You sure you're ok?" Chris asked once more.

"I'm fine. Just a memory." Knuckles said looking out the window. "Just a memory."
