* / Chapter 1: Brothers / *
/ That morning . . . /
Knuckles: (I better never see that stupid wolf a-)
*the door of Tails' workshop is wide open*
Knuckles: "Huh?!"
*Knuckles walks into the workshop and sees that Tails is missing*
Knuckles: "Tails! Where'd he go?!" / break / "Wait . . ."
*Knuckles sees a black feather laying against the foot of Tails' bed*
Knuckles: (That creepy raven . . .) / break / "Oh no! He must have taken Tails! I'll have to find him! I hope he's okay . . ." / break / "Maybe that stupid wolf has to do with this . . ."
/ Meanwhile . . . /
*Tails wakes up, and thinks he sees Knuckles*
Tails: "Knuckles . . ."
*it turns out it was Sonic standing over him*
Sonic: "No! It's your older brother! Not that creepy snort!"
Tails: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" / break / "Where am I? Where's Knuckles?"
Sonic: "Just forget about that knucklehead for once! You're supposed to be my sidekick! My brother! Not his! So I've taken you back now!"
Tails: "Maybe if you weren't insane and you weren't obsessed with lips and you weren't killing people, I WOULD still be your sidekick! But NO! I will NOT help you! I knew there was something wrong before! And who's Dr. Lee Thompson?!"
Sonic: "Oh, Tails . . . You will surely learn . . . Dr. Lee Thompson is just my assistant. He's out helping with the whole echidna problem at the moment. There's absolutely nothing you can do about it, Tails." / break / "And that's why I'm trying to kill Knuckles."
Tails: "No . . ."
Sonic: "I'll be back later, Miles . . ."
Tails: "Grrr . . . don't call me that!" / break / "There must be a way out! There must! . . . Oh, if only I were as strong as Knuckles!" / break / "Someone . . ."
*Tails bangs his fists against the wall*
Tails: "How could this happen? Did Paws lead me to this? Is Knuckles alright?!"
*a ripped piece of paper falls onto Tails' snout*
Tails: ". . . Huh?"
*Tails looks at the paper, which is a photo of Knuckles*
Tails: "Where did this picture come from?" / break / "That's weird . . . But at least now I have a picture of Knuckles with me . . . It must have been a picture Sonic had . . . and I guess banging on the wall made it fall from wherever it was . . ."
* / Chapter 2: "Someone Else You Know" / *
*Knuckles is packing a backpack*
Knuckles: (I guess I should pack this dumb book, some water, and well there's not really any food . . . I guess I'll have to starve . . .)
*Knuckles looks over at a dresser in the corner, opens the top drawer and takes out a photo of Tails*
Knuckles: (I should take this pictures of Tails too . . .)
*Knuckles leaves the house and begins walking out in the rain*
Knuckles: (Who knows if we'll ever return here . . .) / break / (I really hope Tails will be alright . . . I don't think Sonic would want to kill him . . . would he?) / break / (What about the other echidnas? How will they be saved? Maybe they can't . . .) / break / (I don't really-)
*Knuckles is suddenly hit in the back of the head by a rock*
Knuckles: "Ow! What the heck?!" / break / ". . . A rock?" / break / "Grrr . . ."
*Knuckles sees a tree, but no one is around*
Knuckles: (I should just get out of-)
*Knuckles trips down the hill*
Knuckles: "AH!" / break / "Ow!"
*Knuckles looks up, and a dhole, Duke, is standing in front of him*
Duke: "Hey knucklehead! This is from someone else you know!"
*Duke kicks Knuckles in the face*
Knuckles: "Ow!"
Duke: "It's Knuckles! Knuckles is here!"
Knuckles: ". . . What? Someone else I . . ."
*Knuckles suddenly has some sort of realization*
Knuckles: "What?! No it's just Sonic . . . But I don't . . . Sonic! But there's . . . No!"
*Knuckles is then hit in the face by a 2x4 and falls over again*
Knuckles: "Ow . . ."
*Duke is standing there with the 2x4, with other people standing behind him*
Knuckles: ". . . Oh . . ."
Duke: "You should know who else I'm talking about . . . heh heh heh . . ."
* / Chapter 3: KNAPSACK / *
*Tails is flipping through the stations of a TV*
*The first station is a news station saying that Knuckles is wanted dead or alive*
*The second station is an ad for grapes that are 50% off*
*The third station shows Dr. Lee Thompson screaming, "WANT PLUMP, LUSCIOUS LIPPIES?!"*
Tails: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
*Tails quickly turns off the TV*
Tails: "Gosh!" / break / "I don't feel so good . . . Could that have been . . .?"
*Tails looks over at the photo of Knuckles on the floor, and reaches for it*
Tails: "Huh?!" / break / (I'll quickly put this picture in my shoe . . .)
Sonic: "Miles Prower . . ."
Tails: "Oh my god! Stop calling me that stupid name!"
Sonic: "I'll call you whatever I want, Miles! At least until you learn to obey me!" / break / "Come with me. It is time to show you around a bit. Maybe we'll even get some training started today."
/ Meanwhile . . . /
Duke: "Dang it! How are we supposed to get him now?!" / break / "Oh well, at least we know where he is. We'll have to get a hold of Sonic somehow . . ."
*Knuckles is seen beaten up and hiding under a building*
Duke: "You can hide all you want, you stupid . . . spiky mole thing!" / break / "Well then . . . Can someone please try to get ahold of So-"
Mwah: "Spiky mole thing? Have you found an echidna?"
Duke: "Hey! Aren't you one of Sonic's workers? We've got Knuckles under this old building!"
Mwah: "Knuckles?! That's even better! I'll go get Sonic! Wait here!"
Knuckles: (Oh no . . . I should out get of here . . .)
*Knuckles begins to dig*
Knuckles: (I guess I'll dig have to out here of . . . I can't think even straight . . .)
/ Meanwhile . . . /
Sonic: "Welcome upstairs, Tails. Now to start you off, we'll-"
Mwah: "SONIC! SONIC! We've got him! Knuckles! He's under an old building! Come with me!"
Tails: "WHAT?!"
Sonic: "Really? Good! I hope you remember where he his! Where'd you even come from, anyway?"
Mwah: "Uh, through the window . . . I think I remember . . . let's hurry!"
*Sonic shoves Tails towards Moussy*
Moussy: "Huh?"
Tails: "Uh!"
Sonic: "Moussy! Watch Tails for me, okay?"
/ Back at the building . . . /
Duke: "Under here!"
Sonic: "Hey Knuckles! Knucklehead?" / break / "It doesn't even look like the idiot's in here!" / break / "Ugh! Stupid! How could he have disappeared? Hmmm . . ." / break / "Who's knapsack is that?"
Duke: "It's Knuckles' . . . he threw it at me before running under the building . . ."
Sonic: "Hmm . . . he has a book, water, um . . . some weird . . . I don't even know candy thing . . . and a highlighter with no cap . . ."
Duke: (What the heck?)
Sonic: "Everything has highlighter on it . . . and . . . what is this? Some paper-book-thing?" / break / "Well, oddly enough, there doesn't seem to be any dangerous good in there . . . unless he was planning on killing someone with a rotten candy and a highlighter . . ." / break / "Well, just watch out for him I guess . . . Come on Mwah, let's hurry back to the headquarters!"
* / Chapter 4: The Fire / *
Tails: "Ugh! Why do I have to babysit little kids now? I guess I should read them a story . . ."
Diaper snort mouse: "Grapies!"
Tails: "Grapes? I don't have any grapes . . . grapes are Knuckles' favourite food . . . Knuckles . . ."
*Tails grabs a book from the shelf*
Tails: "Here . . .*
*A comic books falls out by accident*
Tails: Whoops!"
*The comic book turns out to be a Sonic comic book, with Knuckles on the cover*
Tails: "Oh . . ." / break / "Knuckles . . ." / break / "Um . . . this 'In the Artic' thing should be okay . . ." / break / "'The artic is so cold! My . . . knuckles are freezing up . . . then when my friend threatened to give me a . . . knuckles sandwich, I wanted to scream . . . that's when my own . . . knuckles unfroze . . . so I gave him a . . . knuckle sandwich instead . . .'" / break / "Really?"
Sonic: "Tails! Why are you babysitting? That's supposed to be Amy Roses's job!"
Tails: "Sonic! Did you find Knuckles? Did you kill him?!"
Sonic: "No, unfortunately . . . But don't worry! He'll be dead in no time!"
/ Meanwhile . . . /
*Knuckles comes out of the ground and leans his head against a wall*
Knuckles: "My head . . ." / break / (I . . . just . . . want . . . to . . . fall . . . asleep . . ."
/ Later . . . /
*Tails is back in his cell*
Sonic: "I'm sorry we didn't get your training today, Tails."
*Sonic slams the door*
Tails: (I don't want to 'train'! I wonder what Knuckles was doing under a building anyway . . . I really hope he's okay . . .)
/ Outside the Lippies headquarters . . . /
* A coyote, Fangs, is walking while holding a walky-talky*
?: "Where are you right now, Fangs?"
Fangs: "Just walking around Sonic's HQ, over!"
?: "Do you see anyone around there? Sonic? Is Duke there?"
Fangs: "Not that I . . . awwwe!"
?: "What? What?!"
Fangs: "There is someone here after all! It's Knuckles! He's asleep here . . . he looks sad and very abused . . . over!"
?: "Good! Obviously Duke found him earlier! Now why won't you go kick him or something?"
Fangs: "I couldn't . . ."
?: "What?! Seriously, Fangs? Are you that useless?! Why not?"
Fangs: "You should see him! Plus, I don't really feel like getting beaten up right now, and . . . Wasn't I supposed to light the building on fire? Over!"
?: "Yeah, I guess. Just find a spot where you can light it from the inside . . ."
/ While later . . . /
*Knuckles wakes up to notice the building is on fire*
Knuckles: "What the heck?!" / break / "Great . . ." / break / "My eyes! Ugh they're all messed-up!" (Why is the building on fire any . . .) / break / "Tails!"
/ Meanwhile . . . /
Tails: "HELP! HEEELP!" / break / "Knuckles!"
*Knuckles gets to a door and runs inside, but ends up tripping*
Knuckles: "Ah!"
Tails: "HEEEELP! KNUCKLES!"
Knuckles: "Tails?!"
*Knuckles stands up and looks ahead*
Knuckles: "Don't worry, Tails! I'm coming!"
Tails: "HELP!"
*Knuckles begins running ahead, but a bunch of debris falls over and hits him*
Knuckles: "Ah!" / break / "Ow!"
*Knuckles falls over*
Knuckles: "Tails . . .?" / break / "Ugh . . ." / break / "Tails!"
*Knuckles looks over to see Tails walking away with Paws*
Knuckles: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
