We are here to get Knuckles to turn his will over to God. Through God, Knuckles will gain the power to destroy the Emerald that dwells within his soul.

Session 3 – Goal: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood His wrath against Emerald Lusters.

"Okay, Knuckles, it's time to for you to seek God for help," said Reverend.

"I can help myself," snorted Knuckles.

"Can you?" Reverend replied. "I heard you paused for a really long time as you passed a jewelry shop..."

"You don't know what you're talking about. I stopped there for a moment because something, that wasn't jewelry, caught my eye in there."

"The store clerk, as well as three bystanders, said you had an unmistakable look of lust in your eyes. So unless you're going to tell me your attention was focused on the store clerk..."

"I can get through on my own determination without needing some la-de-da faith, okay?"

"Okay," said Reverend. Knuckles walked out.

-- Later, at the Emerald Shrine

The Master Emerald was restored and is currently back in place due to Knuckles returning to sanity. Now the Master Emerald is just there for guarding purposes.

"Yeah, it sure is a beautiful day for Emerald Loving...I mean...Guarding. Emerald Guarding."

1 Minute Later.

"But it's soooo hard guarding it without touching it." -Touch-

2 Minutes Later.

"But it's soooo hard touching it without kissing it." -Kiss-

3 Minutes Later.

"But it's soooo hard kissing it without embracing it...No! I can't go back on this path. But how do I stop this? ...I guess I should replace one addiction with another. Yeah, that's a good idea."

1st Addiction: Snacking

"Who needs the Master Emerald when I have chips to snack on. Mmm, so good."

5 Minutes Later.

"That bag of chips sure was tasty. Oh well, I guess I'll go back to licking the Master Emerald. No! MORE SNACKS."

3 Days of Problematic Eating Later.

"Oh, my favorite show is about to come on. But it's just so much work getting to the TV. I'll eat a cupcake on the way."

-Knuckles turns on the TV-

"I can't watch without eating." -Knuckles gets out a bag of chips-

2 Minutes Later.

"My chips are gone, and I still have 28 Minutes of program left. Good thing I kept donuts nearby."

1 Minutes Later.

"Donuts gone and show's still on. Candy."

.30 Seconds Later.

"What? Candy's gone already? Time for chocolate."

.001 Seconds Later.

"So much program left and no food. Why is this happening to me!? ...I need to go to the bathroom now, but for some reason, I don't have to energy to. I'll just go right where I'm sitting.

1 Week Later.

"It's just so hard to go to sleep without eating." -eats-

In the middle of sleep: "It's just so hard to keep sleeping without eating cookies." -Knuckles sleep eats cookies-

Sometime after all these events.

"I'm fat, how did this happen? And why is the ice cream truck 2 feet away. Does he think I can run?"

2nd Addiction: Online Shopping

"Okay, I finally have my ebay account! Now, let's see...what to look for? Oh, I've always wanted a cape. I guess I'd need a special hat to go with it. And some tinsel. It's just all so cheap, I want to get it all!"

-The Shipment Arrives-

"Why are half of these items burnt? And why is my cape a piece of red paper that has 'sucker' written on it?"

The Next Day.

"Oh boy, I finally have my Amazon account. Oh, I want to buy this and that, and maybe some of that. Okay, order placed."

1 Week Later.

"WHY ISN'T MY SHIPMENT HERE YET?!"

The Next Day.

"I finally got my random internet store account. 'Pay by ,' huh? Okay."

The Next Month.

Why isn't my item here yet?! I'll return to the website again. -server not found, sucker-

"I finally have no money."

3rd Addiction: Television

"Have to pee, but the rerun of my 4th favorite show is on. I'll hold it 'til the commercial."

-The commercial comes on-

"Good, commercial is on, but what if I miss a special preview/alert of a new episode? Keep holding it 'til Paid Programing comes on 5 hours from now..."

4th Addiction: Street Fighting

"You want a piece of me?! Come on." -punch- "Like I'm going to believe your scarf blew in front of me on accident 'by the wind.' Freakin' Grandma, you had this comin'."

-- End Game

"I used to be a fit echidna with money and a working bladder," Knuckles said while looking in the mirror. "Where have the years gone. ...Oh wait, it's only been a month. I tried fixing the problem myself, and all this happened. Okay, I'm ready to go to Jesus now," Knuckles said, eating snacks and punching his way to the church.

Step Three Complete.
