Pikatwig:Well, a new chapter of Sonic New Leaf is here.

KKD: Sorry it took me a while to drop in.

Pikatwig: Another chapter is here. So, can we bring in Dash and AJ?

Dash: Right here.

AJ: Just got back from that other story you had with Spiral.

Pikatwig: Alrighty, let's get started with this chapter.

KKD: Gotcha. As always, we own nothing except the idea to do the Sonic franchise like this, along with Takeshi, Luna, Alpha & Akiza on my part, and Ian, Star and Xion on Pika's. The rest belong to SEGA, Archie, and their respective owners.


Sonic simply started to wake up, and smiled a bit as he got up, and then he walked over to the window, and when he opened it… it was dark. However, he saw something floating overhead; it was an actual giant floating island!

"Knuckles!" Sonic yelled with joy, grabbing his scarf and jacket, before jumping out his window, and parkouring his way up to the island.

How exactly he was able to do that considering the lack of super tall structures, Sonic didn't know, but he was able to reach the island.


Meanwhile, Knuckles was sitting in a large temple where an diamond-cut emerald, larger than himself, sat in the center of it. He was bored, and next to him was an egg, larger than an ostrich egg, and was covered in green spots. Suddenly, there was a loud blaring and a red light flashing, alerting Knuckles to an intruder.

He looked at a monitor and soon saw it was Sonic walking around. Knuckles simply smiled, as he did something to show the pathway to the area he was in.

"Huh? ...That was… convenient," Sonic muttered.

He began to walk in and saw the red echidna smiling. "Knux?"

"Morning Sonic. I'm in a good mood today," Knuckles told him.

"Huh?"

Knuckles smiled before going to a fridge, and simply getting a chili dog. "I just had a good day is all." Knuckles elaborated.

"What happened?"

"Found some really good kurumis today," he smiled, as he took out a case of walnuts. He then bit one and smiled.

"Walnuts? What makes them so good?" Sonic asked.

"They're fruit flavored," Knuckles answered.

"You're kidding me."

Knuckles handed him some, and he tasted them. "They're called Fruimis."

As Sonic tried one, Knuckles sat next to the egg, calm as ever.

"What's up with the egg?" Sonic asked.

"Just found it on the island one day, and I have no idea what egg it is." Knuckles informed.

"Okay… can't help but get a bad feeling from it…" Sonic admitted.

"Now you're just worrying too much."

Sonic simply shrugged, and ate some of the fruimis.

"Hmm… they do taste like fruit… this one was more like an orange," Sonic admitted.

"I taste grape more," Knuckles replied.

"Interesting."

Sonic simply shrugged as he began to head out.


Back at Eggman's base, he is angry. "I need to find those Emeralds! I need to find them for the big plan!"

"Just what, pray tell, is this big plan?" Orbot inquired.

"I can't say just yet," Eggman answered. "We need to locate the emeralds first and foremost."

"How?"

"With the radar you created last week you idiot!"

"But… we still need some info, right?"

"Yes! We need to find the info from the Hidden Palace!" Eggman snapped.

"But we need to find Angel Island to do that, and in order to do that, we have to keep tracking between various signals due to it being constantly on the move!"

"Ah think I know where it's at, pardners. It's at Green Hill City!" Cubot answered in a Southern accent.

"Excellent, Cubot. And will someone fix his voice chip!?"

"Shall we send in the Fighters and the Pawns?" Orbot asked.

"Yes, please do."

Orbot nodded, before pressing a button.

"Attention all Egg Fighters and Egg Pawns, we have confirmation of Angel Island being in Green Hill City. Do whatever you need to do, get to that island, and find us the information we require!" Orbot ordered.

The troops saluted, and then began their way from the desert to the city.


(Back with Sonic and Knuckles)

As they were waiting, the alarms suddenly went off.

"What now?" Knuckles groaned.

"Dunno…" Sonic replied before they looked and saw the Egg Fighters storming into town.

"Egg Forces!" Sonic shouted.

"Egg Forces?"

"The technical name," Sonic explained. "It looks like they're headed this way."

"Oh no…" Knuckles groaned.

"I'll take care of them. You coming?"

Knuckles smirked, and stretched a tiny bit. "You go on ahead, I'll catch up."

"Whatever you say," Sonic replied before zooming off.

Knuckles smirked, and saw the forces on their way, and were nearing a lake that… had a similar outer shape as the island. Sonic zoomed over, and did a few Homing Kicks into them. Suddenly, as Sonic seemed to be surrounded, Knuckles came and punched a hole THROUGH one of the Egg Fighters.

"Sorry, just needed to stretch is all," Knuckles informed, resuming his attack.

"It's cool. Let's Double Spin Dash these jerks!" Sonic said.

"You got it!" Knuckles nodded before they clapped hands and spun, their combined orb looking like a blue and red yin-yang symbol that soon collided with many of the Egg Fighters, destroying them with ease.

Suddenly, Eggman hovered in on his Eggmobile, accompanied by some Egg Flappers and the Flappers blasted at the security system, and let him get into the area where the Master Emerald is.

Suddenly, Knuckles felt and heard something going off on his wrist, and checked it.

"Drat! Someone's messed with the security systems… which mean… OH NO!"


Knuckles then quickly ran and began to glide, using the wind currents to take him up to the island. He then smashed his way back to the palace.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" he snapped, getting Eggman's attention.

"Too late echid-" Eggman began as Knuckles punched into the EggMoblie and sent them flying. "This plan didn't work!" Eggman shouted as he flew off.

"Serves ya right," Knuckles growled.

Meanwhile Sonic was able to finish off the enemy forces, and then Sonic simply stretched, after a little bit. "Alright… day is saved, and Knuckles is gonna get his island going, so now… I head back to the house and relax."

And as such, Sonic was about to casually walk off when…

"Hey Sonic!" Knuckles shouted.

"Ugh… what now?" Sonic groaned as Knuckles glided down to him.

"Eggman was trying to steal the Map to Chaos," Knuckles informed.

"Wait, what?"

"The that leads to a location of one of the Chaos Emeralds, and without a doubt, Eggman is going to try and locate all of them," Knuckles explained.

"Okay…" Sonic responded.

"I hate to say this, but I need your help to stop him before he succeeds in taking all of the emeralds."

"Did he manage to steal it?" Sonic asked.

"No… but still, if push comes to shove," Knuckles informed.

"Fine," Sonic sighed. "I'll help ya later."

And with that, both Sonic and Knuckles returned to their homes, but as Knuckles was about to fly up to Angel Island, he noticed Sonia running from the distance. He blushed at this, and smiled at her. However, he soon shook his head and then flew back up to Angel Island.

"Sonic~!" Sonia called out running his way.

"Oh, hey sis," Sonic replied. "What's up?"

"I heard what was happening and came to see if you were okay," Sonia answered.

"I'm good sis."

"Thank goodness."

The siblings hugged, as they walked into the house.

"Sonic! Oh my gosh!" Luna gasped before hugging the young hedgehog. "We heard what happened on the news, and we were just so worried about you!"

"Yeesh… news travels fast," Sonic noted, despite almost being suffocated in Luna's bosom. "Uh… Luna… choking, not breathing!"

"Whoops! Sorry," Luna apologized, letting Sonic go.

"Guess you forget your strength sometimes?" Sonia shrugged.

"Yea, sometimes."


Back on Angel Island, he was simply sitting next to the giant emerald, the egg next to him, some of the Frumis in his left hand, but his mind was somewhere completely different.

"Who was that girl…?" he pondered, seemingly unable to get the image of Sonia out of his mind. "She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen… and that's saying something, seeing I haven't seen a female echidna in ages."

He just sighed, unsure of what to do next. Knuckles began to think a bit, just about Sonia, but then he simply looked to the sky through the hole of the Hidden Palace.

"...Dang it… if only I could fix that…" Knuckles sighed.

That night, Knuckles examined the security footage and browsed through much of it until he got to one segment with Sonic & Sonia.

"Wait… they're brother and sister, hmm… this could prove useful to me," Knuckles noted with a bit of a smirk on his face.


Next morning, Sonic was just sitting around having some breakfast, and simply trying to wake up a bit. As he was waking up, Sonia walked in, followed by Akiza.

"Oh, hey Sonia, Aki-chan," Sonic yawned/waved.

"Good morning Sonic," Sonia replied.

"Hi," Akiza added.

"Sorry, just trying to wake up…" Sonic replied, referring to his yawning state.

Both girls shrugged this off, as Takeshi walked in and sat down to eat.

"Morning girls. Morning Sonic," Takeshi replied.

"Sup Takeshi?" Sonic replied.

"Not much," Takeshi shrugged as Luna served up breakfast for Takeshi.

"Good day Luna," Sonic waved.

"You too, Sonic," Luna smiled as the girls sat down to eat. "You're up awfully early."

"And…?" Akiza responded.

"And what, Aki-chan?" Luna asked, a bit confused.

"Oh, I was asking why you mentioned the time."

"Oh… it's just that he's usually up later than any of us, and yet he's one of the first of us awake today. Is something wrong, Sonic?"

"Well…" Sonic started, not sure how to respond, when suddenly, a knock came from the door.

"I'll get it," Sonia replied as she walked to the door and saw the familiar red echidna, and he smiled.

"Oh… hi…" Knuckles waved.

"Oh, Knuckles, good morning," Sonia waved. "What're you doing here?"

"Just came by to say hi," he answered.

"Really?"

Knuckles gave a small nod, and Sonia shrugged.

"Uh… you wanna come in?"

"Sure," Knuckles nodded as he walked in.

"Luna, Takeshi, we got a guest!" Sonia announced.

Knuckles waved at them when he entered the room.

"Oh, hey. You new around here?" Takeshi asked.

"Sorta," Knuckles replied.

"What's your name?" Luna asked.

"Takeshi, Luna, this is Knuckles," Sonic introduced.

"You two know each other?"

"Yep," Sonic nodded.

"Nice to meet you, Knuckles," Akiza smiled walking up to the echidna. "My name's Akiza."

"Okay, you're her younger sister, huh?" Knuckles asked.

"Hai."

"My name's Sonia, by the way," Sonia added.

"Oh… nice to meet you."

"Likewise."

Sonic rolled his eyes, as Knuckles simply stood, and Sonia simply sat back down.

"My name's Takeshi, and the cat is my wife, Luna," Takeshi replied.

"Hey," Knuckles waved.

"So, what brings you here, Knuckles?" Luna asked.

"Just saying hi," Knuckles informed.

"Okay."

Knuckles then took his leave, which made Sonic began to think of why he was there.

"Something wrong, Sonic?" Takeshi asked.

"No, just thinking." Sonic replied.


Pikatwig: And that's another chapter there.

KKD: That actually went by a bit faster than I thought.

Pikatwig: It kinda was...

KKD: But it was interesting.

Pikatwig: Anyway, favorite part?

KKD: ...Not quite sure, but I'd say a very close one would be… just when Sonic was hanging with Knux in the temple like they were best buds.

Pikatwig: Same here. Any other comments? Like the chapter name?

KKD: Aside from it looking similar to our favorite Knucklehead, it reminds me of the newest Gaim Rider's henshin call from his Driver.

Pikatwig: Time to wrap it up?

KKD: Yep. This has been KKD…

Pikatwig: And Pikatwig. And I'm getting tired of doing this part.

KKD: Just chill man. Jaa ne!

Pikatwig: Just Live More.
