Trixie's Fourteenth Story
Chapter One "Knuckles"
Sonic had gotten to where Spike was but there was something…wrong about his situation.
Nobody was around and Knuckles looked frightened to death clenching onto the master emerald.
Sonic stepped up to him waving his hand in front of Knuckles's face.
"Hey Knux?" he said.
Knuckles was still freaked.
"HEY LOOK ROUGE!" Sonic shouted.
"WHERE?!" Knuckles responded turning his head. "KEEP HER AWAY FROM MY EMERALD!"
"Knew that'd get your attention, so what's going on Knux? Your master emerald shot a beam into the sky brighter then lightning." said Sonic.
"The master emerald rebuilt itself after Spike got close to it, he went berserk and nearly killed those other hedgehogs, for some reason they're all fine and dandy now that makes no sense at all." said Knuckles in a fast pace as he was constantly looking to his side in an alert fashion.
"Yeah those guys have always been hard to figure out." said Sonic.
Knuckles's eye was twitching.
"Yo Knux? You there?" Sonic said.
"Yes, I'm just going to keep an eye out this time." said Knuckles.
Sonic left after a few moments as Knuckles picked up the master emerald.
"Since I'll probably never see Angel Island again I won't absolutely need to keep the master emerald in one place, of course this means all the work I did making a good place for it was for nothing." said Knuckles quietly. "But at least if I move it the master emerald won't be in as much danger, every time I go to sleep or take an eye off or it somebody comes around and steals it."
Knuckles lifted the beautiful glowing lime-green gem over his head as if it weighed nothing.
"It's not like I can stay awake forever." said Knuckles. "I suppose I will have to find a safe place for it where the chances of even needing to fight will be low."
Knuckles ran through the distance with the master emerald lifted over his shoulders as he slowly disappeared through the trees of the long forest that seemed to cover half the planet.
