A Big Sonic Adventure
Episode 2b: The Forest Of Knuckles
Part 5: The End Of The Battles!

'

Knuckles was practically done with the robot army, as they ran away to some place that wasn't really known to the heroes or really had a purpose other than as a hiding place and the echidna knew that there wasn't going to be a lot left to do in this place, but the sun was starting to come down as he saw a beaming yellow light through the trees and through the clouds.

''I'm not done yet!'' Knuckles said, as he knew that he sensed two more shards and then he basically started running towards another edge of the forest to do some more finding, but he had to do some more fighting and climbing as they were kinda high up based on platforms.

Trying to get to the higher of the two emerald shards, he basically needed to get up to the high platforms in a short time, as there was another robot who was able to climbing up just as fast with hands that remsembled wheels with a tons of grip and it was collecting the emerald for its master, who would be having an important role later, but for now, they actually locked eyes with each other to show that they were all serious.

'

Knuckles was trying to get up the platforms as fast as he could because at the top, there was a Master Emerald shard, so he basically had to find a spring that could basically get him up to a higher point, but then he realized that he could just climb the other trees and then jump onto the tree with the platforms and the shard.

The echidna ran onto the tree hoping that the momentum would carry onto his jump, so that it would've gotten him up the tree further, but he still had the issue of climbing up the tree at a decent pace.

''I might not be able to climb quickly, but I can still glide quickly!'' Knuckles shouted, as he was preparing a new strategy that probably wouldn't have taken any more time, so then he was just gliding to another platforms on some tree near him.

The robot was still climbing the same damn tree with a decent pace and a lack of technique, but it was definitely making some progress with Knuckles finally finding some kind of rope bridge to basically get to the higher point with the climbing robot at a lower point, so he now started climbing up the pretty high tree.

The emerald sense was really strong as Knuckles and the robot reached the canopy of the big tree, as there was a emerald shard up there and both hunters were on different sides of the tree and the competition was heating up despite Knuckles not really being in a competition and they were ready to deal with small branches of the canopy.

''You're not getting away!'' the echidna said, as he was gliding to get the emerald shard quickly, with the hunter robot being not so far behind and then it intentionally dropped off the canopy because Knuckles didn't know that said robot had the technology to slow down its fall and the ability to float, so he basically went back down the tree and then he jumped off the tree to go back to the ground.

'

The echidna was on his way to the next emerald shard and he found a small subordinate of the robot army that he was fought with earlier and it looked like they still had no idea what to do, but of course they were ready for another battle as the leader was waiting for the right moment to strike, but their soldiers were now running towards the echidna.

Knuckles actually knew they had the same strategy, except that now one of the enemies had a M.E. piece inside it, so he basically needed to find the enemy with that one, so he was moving around the robots to find the robot with the emerald power and it was obvious as that one was using a laser.

''You're not running away from me this time!'' Knuckles shouted towards the robot army, who was now protecting the robot with the eye laser with their strong weapons with spear attacks coming left and right and some others with actual laser burst, but the echidna was actually just focusing the robot with the emerald shard.

''YOU WILL NOT STOP OUR PLAN, NO MATTER WHAT.'' the new leader of the robot army who had an imposing figure that would make Sonic stare and if that wasn't enough, he was able to throw small fireballs, big fireballs and flame rings.

''What's the heck is your deal with me?'' Knuckles asked, as he was trying guard against the army's many attacks and he was looking at the leader of the army, who wasn't really done with the guardian echidna and things were ready to go down in different ways.

To be continued with no more huntin'!
