Sonic held out the last chaos emerald, lowering the string it hung from to dip it into the boiling chocolate. Knuckles watched his close friend grievously, wishing Sonic had not made this choice. Amy stood close to Sonic in admiration of his genius. Tails had already left, despising the horrors of the situation.
"Sonic, many times I have warned you not to fiddle with things your mind does not comprehend!" Knuckles spouted at the cerulean fuzzy hedgehog. He muttered more under his breath. "Many, many times, I told you not to do this, my friend."
Amy attempted to speak, in an effort to defend her beloved, but Sonic would have no one defend him, except for himself.
"You think me a fool, my good sir?" Sonic eerily turned from the pot on the stove to the two critters behind him. His mouth was not harsh, but it was not kind, and his eyes spilled out contempt. "Knuckles, why don't you try harder to change my mind about this?"
With a gasp from Amy, Knuckles howled, "Do not tempt me you idiot!"
One large fist flew towards the blurry blue illusion. Sonic was not there. Knuckles quickly grabbed Amy by the shoulders.
"We must escape before all evil breaks loose!" Knuckles cried out at the young girl-hedgehog. She shook her head, refusing to be logical.
"I would never leave sonic!" Barked Amy.
"Haven't you realized? Sonic has already left us!" Knuckles didn't give Amy an option. He threw the girl over his shoulder and made a quick attempt to escape.
"You'll regret this!" Amy yelled. As they made for the exit, the kitchen ceiling began to collapse. All of their porcelain, chicken cookie jars crumbled to pieces. Knuckles could not stop bitter tears from trickling down his nose as he broke through the walls and ran away with Sonic's woman in his arms.
