Push...Push...PASH !!

Knuckles hold onto the hand of Tikal while she was in the middle of the processing of expelling a newborn. He urge her to keep stron and have power.

"I cannot! It is too muck!"

"Remember what is said..." Knuckles stated coldfully. She nodded know.

Alright, it is our destiny" She knowed. Then with a final push it was landed. Tears swelled up in her eyes.

"Oh yes. It is our duty to repopulate the Echidna race, and here it is."

"But it cannot end here. We must continue." Knuckles ponted otu.

"Then again take me!" Tikal reasoned and eagerly awaiting the Knuckles to push.

That was there girst time. They were young. But they had to do it! It was on that day that Tikal descended from the chaos that it was learned that she was told by a sacred power that they must keep the purr bloodline of Ichidna alive. It is now many years later. Knuckles and Tikal has been doing this for many years tirelessly. Out comes an egg witch their send to other parts of the world for the adoption. It was decided to do that because keeping the Echidna in one place wood hav been rhisky, If it were fate to decide that an event happen were they die in this world then it wood be all over for the Echidna that it was holy that they do this practice. This is truly a total repopulation of the Echidna but they havv nevor scene there children (if they even hatched they do not kno.

This time was no effort since it was so used up. The egg just popped out.

"Oh another won." Tikal sad.

Knuckles took a dragging off his cigarette. "Again? This makes...uh 300 now?"

"400."

"Cheese..."

Knuckles took the new (and slimey)egg out from under.

"We have to sned sthi one somewere."

"I no." Tikal knowed.

"You're tirn to tak care off tatht."

OK"

Kunckles siyhed. It was so monotonous and machinical now that he almost had no life yet. Too much energy septn and he was xhousted. But fate is cruewl. He must do it for this race. With someone that he didnt have any love in the first place for at that! Tikle was nic butt he reilly didnot have any spechial felling for her so it felt wrong but it ist must!

Knuckles felt taht his life was meningless. He felt wrong about what he wast dong, but it was his purpose now. But he felt that he realize how he was so blindly thrust into the sitwation.

Then he realize - he made the choice all along.

"Life is what you make of it." Knuckles said remenice. "Tats whatt yuo said, didn't it, Sonic? I remember vividly.Well I suppose I better make the most out of my existence. No regrets no more, I sware"

Knuckles looked at Tikal, who understwood his feeling. He wordlessly took her hand.

"Let's make the most of it Tikles."

Without anther world he brought her ovre to the altar and went to work.
