Chapter 2: The Ambush

On Angel Island:

Knuckles woke up from his bed wondering how he got in it, and then all of a sudden he smelt a nice aroma coming from the kitchen. He got up to figure out what was making the smell. He walked right into the kitchen and saw Shade cooking.

"Hey sleepy head, just decided to make me and you breakfast. Hope you like bacon, sausage, and eggs," Shade said while still cooking.

"Hey Shade, how did I get in my bed," Knuckles all confused.

"Well I saw that you were asleep, so I took you to your bed. Thought you would feel more comfortable there then on the alter stairs," Shade said when making a plate for her and Knuckles.

Knuckles started to chow down on the food Shade had made. Shade giggled a little. Then Knuckles broke the silence.

"What's so funny Shade?"

"Just the way you eat Knuckles."

Knuckles just then started to blush a little after hearing her say that.

20 minutes later, both of them finished eating. As Knuckles started to go to the alter to start the day of guarding the master emerald.

"Hey Knuckles, do you mind if I come with you to guard the master emerald?"

"Not at all Shade, you can come," Knuckles said while making his way out of the door.

Shade quickly followed as they made their way to the master emerald.

"Something isn't right."

"What's wrong Knuckles," Shade said while wondering what Knuckles means.

"The master emerald is in trouble," right when Knuckles said that he started running towards the alter with Shade right behind him.

When they got to the alter they saw Eggman and a huge army of eggpawns right behind him.

"What do you want Eggman," Knuckles said while Eggman came up to him.

"Well Knucklehead I just want the emerald you have been guarding. And will you give it like a nice echidna or I will take it by force," Eggman said while laughing.

"Over my dead body," Knuckles said right before he hit Eggman's floating chair.

"You're going to pay for that, eggpawns attack."

"Shade get back, I don't want you to get hurt."

"But Knuckles I can help you."

"Oh it looks like Knucklehead got himself a little girlfriend, too bad I have to kill both of you."

Knuckles started to get full of rage and started to attack the robotic army. Then the army got the best of him and started doggy pile Knuckles.

"No Knuckles," Shade said while running towards the army. Then she clicked a secret button on her bracelet which made her nocturne armor cover over her clothes and her helmet cover her face.

"Take this," said shade while she activated her leach blades and attacked all the robot and saved Knuckles. Just then they nodded while shade threw a smoke bomb at Eggman and both uppercut him and sent him flying away using their team move called echidna rush.

"I will be back for that emerald."

As Shade amour went back into her bracelet. Just then Knuckles kissed Shade on the lips and kissed for about three minutes.

"Thanks Shade."

"Well I just couldn't stay put while you were getting hurt could I."

Author Notes: Looks like Knuckles found his one and only love. What will happen next chapter? Will they stay in love, or will they break up. Next time we will see. This has been thetrueguardian and will continue.
