I DO NOT OWN SONIC AND COMPANY. SEGA DOES...lucky dogs!
Knuckles pushed aside the large leaf plant and continued to search for the fox. Already the tiny infant seemed to be causing more trouble than a sack full of Master Emerald stealers. He had tried to follow the toddler's trail, but in certain places the tracks would disappear and he would have to guess blindly where to go next. Now, he was somewhere in the middle of the jungle.
"This is the first and last time I do a favour for Sonic," He grumbled as he plowed his way on. "That kid...is more trouble than a bucket full of frogs!"
He stopped in his tracks as he picked up the sound of baby laughter. He growled before he sped up and started smashing his way through bushes and small trees. The baby's laughter grew louder...but also something else...
"What is..." Not bothering to finish his own question he just ran faster, useing his giant fists to smash down anything stupid enough to be in his way.
He reached the clearing to see tiny Tails suspended upside down, just inches away from the monstrous mouth of the giant snap dragon. The monster hadn't noticed Knuckles yet, being occupied with the tasty toddler. Tails smiled and reached out to touch the sharp needle like teeth as it opened its mouth wider to devour him.
Knuckles didn't think, he acted!
With a loud cry the echidna charged at the plant, leapt up and slammed his heavy fists into the monster's side.
In pain and shock the snap dragon screamed as the force of the punch rooted him out the ground and sent him on his side, its long roots all exposed, leaving a giant hole in the ground. Little Tails clapped his hands as the vines lost their grip and dropped the kit.
Knuckles dived and caught the falling toddler, landing on his stomach painfully. The kit laughed, "More, more!"
Knuckles narrowed his eyes angrily at the kit, "No...not more. When did getting eaten by a giant weed look like a good idea?"
The tiny fox hiccuped in reply.
Knuckles was about to go on when he heard a loud groan. Looking ahead he saw the giant snap dragon stir and shift. Without warning it screeched loudly before using its roots and vines to right itself up, using its long thick roots for spider like legs. It turned around and saw the two mobians through its yellow vision. It roared loudly.
"Great!" Knuckles said as leapt off the ground. He held the fox to him, who was giggling in delight. The toddler thought his new friend wanted to play. Knuckles leapt out the way just in time to avoid a thick vine trying to loop the two up.
"Hold on, kid!" Knuckles shouted as he held the kid with one arm and used his free fist to smash through two vines that were charging at them full speed. The dead vines crumpled to the ground. Knuckles didn't have much time to react when three vines shot out and looped themselves around his legs. He stumbled and fell to the ground with the other vines closing in to also grab him. The snap dragon roared its victory.
Shadow was flying near the middle of the jungle when he heard the loud roar of the snap dragon. Curious, the black hedgehog flew towards the noise, still holding the large diaper bag. He was surprised to fly over the clearing to see the giant snap dragon. It roared again as it bought Knuckles up to its face. Little Tails whimpered fearfully beside Knuckles, finally feeling the fear.
"Knuckles!" Shadow called out. "What is that thing!?"
"A weed with a grudge, perhaps. I don't know!" Knuckles shouted as the snap dragon opened its mouth wide. Knuckles could feel himself sweating, Quick, get Tails out of here."
Shadow tried to fly lower, but the monster had noticed him and now was focusing his attack on the red and black hedgehog. Shadow dived just in time to avoid an attack and flew out the way of another. Two vines came in on him from both sides. He flew upwards in time to escape. The vines smashed into each other and blew up.
The snap dragon roared.
Seeing it distracted he dug out his gun and aimed.
"Look out!"
The echidna's warning came to late and a vine shot out and smashed the hand pistol from his hand. Shadow fumed as he watched his best weapon shatter like Legos on the ground.
"THAT WAS MY BEST GUN!" He shouted as he grabbed one of the vines, snapped it off and twirled it around his head. With a fury filled cry he threw the vine at the snap dragon's head.
The monster shook its head, feeling slightly dazed from the impact. Seeing it that way Knuckles pried the vines holding him, slightly loosening it.
"Get him!" He shouted to the black hedgehog.
Tails smiled as the hedgehog lifted him out the vines. He laughed as he started pulling on Shadow's ears. Shadow grunted, "Um...that's a part of me, you know."
The toddler laughed.
The snap dragon regained its senses and roared again before it took Knuckles and shoved him in his mouth.
"Yikes!" Shadow yelped. "It ate the knucklehead! I'm bot sure if that's such a great idea."
"SHADOW!" Knuckles screamed from inside the mouth. The black hedgehog could see the echidna trying to punch his way out, but the snap Dragon's protective skin was too strong. "I'M GOING TO GET YOU WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE!"
Shadow quickly placed the laughing toddler on the ground, reached into the diaper bag he had been carrying around and pulled out a rather large tin of baby powder. He sniffed at it. In doing so he sneezed.
"Bless you!" The fox giggled.
Shadow got an idea. He leapt into the air and charged towards the plant with the baby powder in his hand. Vines tried to cut him off, but he dodged and flew out their reach. The monster started to chew.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Shadow shouted as he pried off the lid of the baby powder. He threw some at the beast, "GET A WHIFF OF MY BABY POWDER POWER!"
The beast froze for a moment as it sniffed and shook its now white powdery head. It began to sneeze loudly.
"Achoooooo!" The giant monster spat out the echidna like a cannon ball. Knuckles smashed into Shadow, sending them both to the ground.
"That worked," Shadow groaned from underneath Knuckles.
"The kid!" Knuckles cried out as a vine shot out, grabbed the toddler and stuck him laughing in the snap dragon's mouth.
Both Knuckles and Shadow screamed.
"And I'm all out of baby powder power!" Shadow exclaimed as he held up the empty tin powder container. "It's going to eat him!"
Vines shot out and wrapped themselves around the two, trapping them instantly in a bundle of green.
"It's also going to eat US!" Knuckles exclaimed.
