It had been a peaceful 3 days at the Rose kingdom castle and our heroes were enjoying the peace.

"This is a wonderful peaceful day," Blaze thought.

"I must agree," Shadow agreed.

"Has anyone seen Amy?" Sonic asked.

"Think she was with her parents last I saw her," Shadow thought.

"Hm, alright thanks," Sonic said as he raced to find Amy.

Down in the throne room...

"Glad you made it Knuckles," Queen Alexa said.

"Well, it was my duty to help the new princess," The red knight said as he eyed Amy.

"Amy, this is the leader of our army, Knuckles," King Jayden said.

The knight before them took off his helmet to reveal a red echidna.

"Pleasure to see you again Amy," Knuckles said.

"Nice to see you," Amy replies.

"Say Knuckles, what sword is that?" Amy asks.

"Oh this, this is the sacred sword Galatine," Knuckles responded as he pulled out the swords.

Galatine is the duel wielding sacred sword ax.

"How come the sword is 2 swords that are the same?" Amy wondered.

"Because originally it was one ax sword but the forger decided to break it into 2," Knuckles replied.

Just then Sonic walks into the throne room.

"Oh, uhh did I come at a bad time?" He wondered.

"No Sonic, you showed up at a good time," Amy replies.

Sonic walks up to Amy only to be stopped by Knuckles.

Sonic then recognizes.

"Knuckles? Is that you?" Sonic asks.

"Nice to see you again old friend," Knuckles said.

"Wait you 2 know each other?" Amy wondered.

"Of course, we're old friends," Sonic replied.

"Well ya learn something new every day," Amy said.

Just then, a group of 3 guards enters the throne room.

"Something wrong?" Alexa asks.

"There are guards from White Acropolis terrorizing the village.

"Oh great no this again," Sonic muttered annoyed.

"Sonic, just like old times?" Knuckles asks.

"Just like old times my friend," Sonic insists.

The 2 then walk out of the throne room to take down the guards from White Acropolis.
