* / Chapter 1: Something's Wrong / *
Knuckles: "What?! What's wrong, Tails?"
Tails: "Look at this paper I found!"
*Knuckles takes the paper from Tails and reads it*
Knuckles: (. . . Dr. Lee Thompson?) / break / "Wasn't 'Dr. Lee Thompson' the name that was bothering you right before Sonic went insane?"
Tails: "Yes . . . and remember how Sonic found that lips ad and I started feeling cruddy? This must mean something horrid is going on . . ."
Knuckles: "Tails . . . you're right . . . something very horrible is going on!" / break / "There's just no explanation for all of this . . . don't worry Tails, tonight I'm going to go see what's going on . . . or at least try to . . ."
Tails: "Okay . . . just be careful . . ."
/ That night . . . /
*Knuckles walks out of the house*
/After a little while . . . /
Knuckles: (I feel like someone's watching me . . .)
?: "AAAAAAAAAHH!"
Knuckles: "What's going on?"
*Knuckles looks around a hedge and sees Mwah taking away an unconscious echidna in a cage*
Knuckles: "Oh my god . . ."
*Mwah is whistling as he walks away*
Knuckles: "What the heck . . ." (Why is that creepy raven pulling a tranquillized echidna in a cage? Maybe I should follow them.)
Mwah: "Is someone there . . .?" (Oh well, it's probably nothing . . . I wonder how many echidnas we have locked-up so far . . ."
* / Chapter 2: Sonic's Plan / *
/After a while . . . /
*Mwah is seen approaching the Lippies Association headquarters. Mwah is spying on him from behind a tree*
Knuckles: (. . . When was this place built?) / break / "Good, I think he's gone now . . . Maybe if I climb that building, I'll catch someone's conversation through one of the windows . . .)
*Knuckles climbs up the wall of the building*
Knuckles: (I think I can hear someone just past this window . . .)
*Knuckles is now just under a window to a room where Sonic and Moussy are talking*
Knuckles: (Great it's Sonic!)
Sonic: "Aren't you excited, Moussy? Soon enough all the echidnas will be gone!" / break / "Especially Knuckles!"
Knuckles: "Oh no!"
Moussy: "Huh? Did you hear that, Sonic?"
Sonic: "It won't be too hard since they pretty much all live around here anyway . . ."
Moussy: "Hello!"
Sonic: "And we'll just-"
Moussy: "SONIC!"
Sonic: "WHAT?!"
Moussy: "I thought I heard someone!"
Sonic: "What? What did they sound like?"
Moussy: "Well, they kinda had a deep voice I guess . . ."
Sonic: "What?! It can't be . . ."
Knuckles: (Great!)
*Knuckles begins to glide away from the building, but Sonic sees him from his window*
Sonic: "It is!"
"You rat! You were eavesdropping, weren't ya? Well you won't be able to anymore! Knucklehead!"
*Sonic pulls the trigger on the handgun he is holding. It shoots Knuckles in the left leg*
Knuckles: "OW!"
Sonic: "Shoot! I only shot him in the leg! Oh well, he can suffer in pain for now . . . I'll get him later!"
*Knuckles falls into a dumpster*
Knuckles: "Blech!"
*Knuckles crawls out of the dumpster, and sees a bin with the radioactive symbol on the side*
Knuckles: "Ow . . . huh?" / break / "Oh . . ."
*three pairs of eyes are seen in the darkness, with an extended paw*
* / Chapter 3: Lippies Phobia / *
/ The next morning . . . /
*Tails is laying in bed waking up*
Tails: "Aaaah!" / break / "What a beautiful day!"
?: "Lippies! Lippies! Lippies! Lippies!"
Tails: "HUH?!"
*an Omochao-themed alarm clock with lippies is seen emmiting this sound*
*Tails' TV turns on, showing Sonic pointing at a floating lippies symbol*
Sonic: "Try some new Kissy Lips cereal!"
Tails: "What?! But my TV doesn't work any-"
*Tails looks over and notices he has lippies in the ripped poster on his wall*
Tails: "H-huh?"
*Knuckles walks in, but has an omochao head with lippies*
Knuckles: "Hi Tails!"
Tails: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" / break / "It was only a nightmare . . ."
/ Outside . . . /
Tails: "What's with all the blood . . . Knuckles! I hope he's okay!"
*Tails walks up to the other house and knocks on the door*
Tails: "Knuckles! . . . Knuckles?" / break / (Is he even in here? His door is unlocked . . .)
*Tails opens the door*
Tails: "KNUCKLES!"
*Knuckles is seen laying crossway on the bed, covered in scratches and blood*
Knuckles: ". . . Tails?"
Tails: "W-what h-happened?"
Knuckles: "Sonic . . . he wants to kill me and all the other echidnas . . . I was eavesdropping on him and he caught me . . . he shot me in the leg, and then some jerks beat me up after . . ."
Tails: "What?! I hate Sonic! I have some bandages, just wait here . . ."
/ After . . . /
*Knuckles is now wearing bandages*
Tails: "Well . . . I hope that's okay . . ." / break / "I guess I'll leave you alone now . . . you should probably rest . . ."
Knuckles: "Okay . . . just be careful . . ."
/ Later that day . . . /
Tails: "Gosh, I haven't heard from Knuckles all day! He was pretty hurt . . . I'm too scared to check . . . maybe I'll just go out for a bit . . . maybe I'll see what's going on for myself . . ."
* / Chapter 4: Looking for Tails / *
Knuckles: "Tails? Tails! Where'd he go?!"
*Knuckles looks inside Tails' workshop*
Knuckles: (Great! He must have left for some dumb reason! I hope he's okay . . .) / break / (I'll have to go look for him I guess . . . I hope Sonic hasn't found him . . .)
/ While later . . . /
*Knuckles is walking down the sidewalk when another echidna approaches him from behind (Meangreen Cru)*
Knuckles: "Huh?"
Meangreen Cru: "Oh my goodness gracious me! You're bleeding!"
Knuckles: "Well, not any . . . what the heck . . ." (I guess Sonic hasn't captured all of the echidnas yet . . .)
Meangreen Cru: "EEKY-POO it's KNUCKLES! Don't kill me please!"
Knuckles: "Hey! I never killed anyone! Don't you realize that Sonic's trying to kill all the echidnas? I would hid from him if I were you!"
Meangreen Cru: "Well, that's snorty and all, but I'm still keeping this headband."
Knuckles: "What?! I wasn't talking about . . . ugh never mind. I need to go . . ."
*Knuckles begins to walk away*
Meangreen Cru: "J'ai faim." {French for "I'm hungry}
Knuckles: "Is this person following me?!"
*Meangreen Cru bends over and picks an ant off the ground, then eats it*
Meangreen Cru: "Mmm! I just absolutely adore that delectable hard, crunchy ant flavour!"
Knuckles: "Blech!"
Meangreen Cru: "Wut." / break / "OH MY MOO! A ZANGOOSE!" / "Hmph. I wann play Wacky Zingoz."
Knuckles: "What?! . . . Why are you following me?!"
Meangreen Cru: "Oh, no wholesome reason, deary. Say, what would you look like in a dress?"
Knuckles: "Wha-"
Tails' voice: "HEEEEEEEELP!"
Knuckles: "Tails?! Great! I hope . . . I have to go!"
* / Chapter 5: Moussy's Kissy Lips Cereal / *
*Spike has Tails cornered in an alleyway*
Spike: "Are you even listening to me?! I said don't tell Moussy I took her Kissy Lips cereal!"
Tails: "HEEELP!"
*Knuckles comes running around the corner*
Knuckles: "Tails?"
Tails: "HEEEEELP!"
Knuckles: ". . . Huh?"
Tails: ". . . Huh?"
Spike: "What?"
Tails: "Knuckles!"
Knuckles: "Tails! What's going on? Why did you leave?!"
Tails: "I'm sorry . . . I didn't hear from you all day and I was too scared to check, so I left . . . then this creepy porcupine found me!"
Spike: "Hey! Remember to not let Moussy know I took her Kissy Lips cereal!"
Knuckles: "I don't care about your stupid Kissy Lips cereal!"
Moussy: Where's my Kissy Lips cereal?"
Knuckles: "Great! Let's go, Tails!"
*Knuckles and Tails run away*
Moussy: "Hey! That was Knuckles! Spike, you idiot! How could you let him get away? Don't you know Sonic wants him dead?"
Spike: "Sorry, Moussy, but I just didn't want them to tell you that I took your Kissy Lips cereal!"
Moussy: ". . . Never mind."
* / Chapter 6: Paws the Wolf /*
/ The next day . . . /
*Tails is working on something in his workshop*
Unknown voice from outside: "AAAAAAAGGGHHH!"
*Tails quickly runs outside*
Tails: "Knuckles?!"
*A wolf, Paws, is seen outside, grabbing his leg in pain*
Tails: "H-huh? Who are you? How'd you get here?! Why do you have paws for hands?"
Paws: "Oh my gosh! Tails! I'm so sorry for screaming outside your workshop! I stubbed my toe . . . just call me Paws!"
Tails: "Okay . . ." (He could wear shoes . . .) "How'd you get here?!"
Paws: "Oh, sorry . . . I spotted a long trail of blood and I was wondering what happened . . . Is everything okay?"
Tails: "Yeah . . . my friend Knuckles got beaten or something . . . He's better now, but that reminds me . . ." / break / "Are you for Sonic, or against? . . . And have you heard of 'Dr. Lee Thompson'?"
Paws: "Against . . . and no, I haven't heard of 'Dr. Lee Thompson'. . ."
Tails: "Well . . . come on!"
*Tails walks up to Knuckles' door and knocks on it*
Tails: "Knuckles!"
Knuckles: "What?!"
Tails: "Knuckles, this is Paws! Paws, this is Knuckles!"
*Knuckles stares at Paws' paws for a moment*
Knuckles: (I've only met one other person like that . . .) "It's YOU!"
