Episode 42: Attack on Angel Island Part 2

In Dr. Eggman's Egg Carrier, Kage makes a call to Dr. Eggman about a situation.

General Kage reports, "Dr. Eggman!"

"I'm listening, General Kage…" Eggman replies.

In anger, Kage says, "The two hedgehogs, Guardian, along with the Chaotix and some of the Freedom Fighters have infiltrated Angel Island and have even gone so far as to attack our Echidna Prison Camps!"

"Blast it, Kage! What are you dingoes good for?! Have you gotten the prisoner to reveal the Master Emerald's location?" Eggman demands.

"Still working on it," Kage says, bitterly.

"Work harder! Eggman out!" Eggman angrily says.

And hangs up.

A.D.A.M suggests, "Father, I can dispatch a legion of Egg-Pawns to Angel Island immediately."

"Unnecessary, A.D.A.M…" Eggman says.

He groans as he rubs his head, "Never get a dingo to do a scientist's job. Now that Sonic, Eve, and Knuckles have entered the Equation, there's no doubt they'll attempt to rescue the prisoner. We're running out of time!"

"Then I'll go to Angel Island personally to deal with them. Besides, I owe those annoying Hedgehogs personally for interfering with our last attempt," A.D.A.M says.

"I don't think you wouldn't make daddy proud by doing that, A.D.A.M. I know you'd like nothing more than to exact your vengeance on those two rodents since your first encounter. And so you will…" Eggman says.

Eggman then presses the button and a capsule opens from behind him.

"I've created a special surprise for you. One that will allow you to walk freely and that is strong enough to put those annoying hedgehogs in their place," Eggman says. Then he maniacally laughs.

Back in the Hidden Palace Zone, the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix are still at the camp where the freed Echidnas are living. The Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix are still worried about what has happened on the island and how the Dingoes are involved. However, Knuckles has his down problems at this point.

Knuckles angrily says, "Mace, will you cut it out."

Knuckles has to deal with his baby brother and crawls on his head.

"Mace, huh? Is this like his new nickname?" Sonia asks.

"Yeah," Knuckles says.

The whispers, "He actually doesn't really like being called Kneecaps much, but that doesn't stop my mom and stepfather from calling him that. He seems to like it when I call him Mace more than Kneecaps"

"I think it sounds cute," Eve says.

"To him it's better than being called Kneecaps," Knuckles replies

"Nu nu. Nu nu," Little Mace says.

"On the other note, what do you guys think about this whole thing? The echidnas teaming with the Legion. What happened to the other Guardians, and what happened to Dimitri?" Eve asks, sounding sad.

"A lot to take in. I'm a little uneasy about all this," Knuckles says.

Then Eve asks, "What about this Dr. Finitevus, have you ever seen or heard of him?"

"Now that you mention it… I… I think I actually saw him before, but I can't put my finger on it," Knuckles says.

"Like what?" Sonic asks.

"I'm not sure. I've lived on Angel Island my whole life. When I was a kid, I lived with my dad close to where the Master Emerald was close to Mystic Ruins. There was this part of my memory that was a blank. When I asked my dad about it, he said that it's something that is best forgotten," Knuckles says.

"What does that mean? Manic asks.

"I don't know. I decided to leave it just that. But I felt that my dad wanted to protect me from, whatever that something is," Knuckles says.

"I'm worried about him becoming interested in you and me personally, even my sword," Eve says, concerned.

"I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. But still, there seems to be much we don't know about him. It's best to keep an eye on him, and I'm sure he doesn't mean you any harm," Cloud-Ra says.

"I hope so," Eve says.

Sometime later, the Legionnaires, Freedom Fighters and Chaotix gather together.

Lien-Da says, "I've received word from my double agent inside General Kage's army. Informing me exactly where Locke is being held prisoner. We can stage a rescue now… if you're feeling up for it. I'll command the Dark Legion."

Knuckles and Lara-Le hug each other.

"Knuckles, I… I…" Lara-Le says, worried.

"I'm going mom. Don't worry… I'll be fine," Knuckles says.

"You'll be better off here Saffron," Charmy says, to his friend and betrothed.

"I know Charm. Just come back, safe," Saffron says, worried.

Sonic turns to the others, "Alright. Eve, Jazz, Sonia, Manic, Cloud, and Rex. You all stay here while the rest of us go on the rescue mission."

"You can count on us, Sonic," Manic says.

"Chao," Jazz replies.

Remington walks to Knuckles, "What about me? I can accompany you in battle."

"No, Remington. I want you to stay here. Keep an eye on the Master Emerald with Eve and the others while we're gone," Knuckles says.

"Not for nothing, but as far as getting to Dingo City goes, it's truly with my super speed and all… but how are the rest of you gonna get there?" Sonic asks.

The next moment, the Chaotix, including Knuckles, Julie-Su, and the Legion are riding on the hovercrafts from the legion while Sonic uses his super speed.

"I had to ask," Sonic comments.

In Dingo City, General Kage and surprisingly the reluctant Harry are still with Locke who is still their prisoner.

"Kage!" Dr. Eggman angrily shouts.

"Dr. Eggman," Kage says.

Dr. Eggman demands, "Well? Has the prisoner revealed the Master Emerald's location?!"

"No, your excellency, and I don't think he's going to, either!" Kage says.

Eggman becomes furious about the report and says, "Then take care of him."

Suddenly, a loud beeping sound with red light turning on.

"What the?!" Kage gasps.

"The alarm!" Larry replies.

Suddenly, someone says, "I heard it was free chili dog day in Dingo City."

Kage and Larry turn in shock to see Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna.

"You? Here?! Now?! Then that means…!" Kage asks in shock.

Outside, the Legionnaire and the Chaotix attack the Dingo Regime, and the dingoes are having a lesser chance to win this battle.

"Uh-huh. Y'know 'Kagey,' you might not be as dumb as you look," Sonic remarks.

Kage roars in rage as his hands release electricity. He is about to attack Sonic, but he dodges and causes him to crash to the wall.

Sonic laughs and says, "Works every time."

Knuckles rolls his eyes, "You always like that tactic."

"Sonic. Knuckles," A voice calls out.

Sonic and Knuckles turn to see the Dingo soldier, and are familiar with them.

"Larry?" Sonic asks, surprised.

"Yes. He's our double agent," Locke says, weakly.

Knuckles and Sonic look up to see Locke still in chains and hanging upside down.

Locke holds a weak smile and says, "Well, hello, Son."

"Dad!" Knuckles creams shocked.

Larry gives Knuckles a key, "Quick! Here's the key to the shackles!"

"I'll keep a lookout!" Sonic says, and zips to the door.

Knuckles quickly jumps up and grabs one of the chains. He unlocks Locke's chains and is free from their grasp, and dizzy from being upside down for long.

Knuckles helps Locke walk on his feet, "Dad? Are you okay?"

"It'll take more than a few dingo love taps to take out a Guardian, Knuckles… but the way son, you're a sight for sore eyes," Locke says, and shows a calm smile.

Knuckles smiles and gives his dad a hug. Sadly, it's not very lasting when Kage comes out of the wall and with full rage from Sonic's joke.

He angrily says, "By the time I get through with you, Echidna, your eyes won't be the only body parts that are sore."

Sonic and Knuckles look at each other with smirks. The next moment, both of the boys punch Kage right through the wall. With that done, the boys begin laughing.

"So how are the Chaotix handling things outside this so-called stronghold, Rad Red?" Sonic asks.

"Between them and the DL, it's a butt-kicking extravagance, True Blue!" Knuckles answers.

Suddenly, Eggman appears on the screen and says, "Don't pat yourselves on the back so soon, cretins! You didn't think I'd be foolish enough to put all my Eggs in one basket, did you? Didn't believe I would rely on the Echidna's confession as my sole means of tracking the Master Emerald. While you've been wasting time in Dingo City, playing 'Search and Rescue,' I've dispatched one of my agents to find the Emerald for me. I'm extremely confident he'll be successful."

Meanwhile, in front of the Hidden Palace Zone, a large Warp Ring opens. Stepping out of it, is a large metal robot that looks almost like a knight. The mysterious robot has glowing green eyes, and carries a long black staff that is about the same height as the body. A smirk appears on a black screen that has a mouth.

Then says, "So this is where all the echidnas have been hiding. Time to capture every one of them."

With that, badniks begin to come out of the Warp Ring and are preparing to invade the Echidna's secret hideout.

Back in the Dingo City, after realizing the trick Eggman has played on them. Everyone realizes that this could be trouble.

Lien-Da is not pleased with this whole mess, "You gotta be kidding me, Locke! This wouldn't have happened if we hadn't wasted time and Echidna-power staging your rescue! Eggman's agent would be walking into the hidden palace right now!"

"What's the big deal, Kommisar, when you've got the fastest thing alive on your team? I'll be there before you can say would-be-world conqueror!" Sonic says.

"That doesn't sound reassuring," Lien-Da comments.

"I suggest you take my son along for the ride, Sonic," Locke says.

"What? Dad. I can't leave you like this," Knuckles says.

It's okay, son, I'll be fine. You can lend your friend a hand…" Locke says.

"Not that I'll really need the help, but ditch the gear all the same… this is one hedgehog that lives to travel light. Plus, Eve and the other Freedom Fighters are back at the camp," Sonic says.

"Espio, give Eve a call," Vector says.

Espio brings out his comlink and calls Eve, "Hello Eve."

Suddenly, they hear a scream.

Sonic becomes shocked, "Hey, what's going on?!"

Back at the Hidden Palace Zone, Eve, Saffron, Cloud-Ra and Remington see a Swatbot diving towards them. They quickly move out of the way. Manic moves as the Swatbot tries to strike him. Eve then lands on the rock and brings out her sword to slice the Swatbot in half. One of the Swatbots is about to capture a few Echidnas, but Sonia spins like a tornado and knocks them over.

Eve brings out her comlink, "We've got company!"

Moriotir Rex calls out to the Echidnas, "Everyone, head into the Hidden Palace, immediately! Dark Legion, fire at the enemy!"

The Legionnaires who remain behind begin to fire at the Swat-bots and other badniks. Some of them escape with some holes on their body, while others explode into pieces. At the same time, the civilians hurry to the Hidden Palace with Moriotri Rex taking the lead. Eve and her cousins continue to fight off Dr. Eggman's robots with the Dark Legionnaires as Moritori along with Cloud-Ra and Remington have the Echidnas follow them to the palace.

The metallic robot smirks, "They won't get away that easily."

The robot then sends multiple orbs and they fly after the echidnas. The balls zaps and beings to suck multiple of them inside. It doesn't take long for Lara-Le and a few others to notice something is amiss.

"What the?!" Wynmacher asks, shocked.

Remingon runs over, "We're under attack!"

"What, but from who?" Lara-Le asks, frightened.

Finitevus steps forward, "It matters not, Lara-Le! The Master Emerald must be safeguarded."

"I agree," A voice says.

Remington looks down to see a fire ant, who is also in an alley.

"Archimedes, what are you doing here?" Remington asks.

"No time for explanations Constable Remington! Hurry into the Master Emerald shrine… all of you! There's already an evacuation into the Palace," Archimedes says.

"I intend to stay and face Dr. Eggman's forces that are about to walk through that door, Archimedes! After getting everyone inside," Remington says.

Finitevus glares at the ant, "Who gave you the authority to be here, fire ant?!"

"Locke did when he asked me to keep an eye on the Master Emerald after he entrusted it to…" Archimedes says.

"So this is where the Master Emerald is," A metallic voice says.

Everyone turns their heads to see a robotic Knight.

Remington charges, "Don't worry! I'll handle him!"

"Constable… no!" Archimedes screams.

However, one of the robotic balls zaps him and sucks him inside.

The robot then turns to Finitevus, "You're next."

All Finitevus does is stand there and leaves a smirk on his face. In the shrine of the Master Emerald, Archimedes appears in the room with the others.

Lara asks, "Archimedes? What happened to Constable Remington and Dr. Finitevus?"

"I… I tried to warn them, Lara-Le…" Archimedes says, sadly.

Lara-Le, Wynmacher, and Saffron realize what it means. They've been captured.

Saffron turns to the Master Emerald, "Th-then it's up to us to make sure the Master Emerald doesn't fall into the wrong hands."

Suddenly, the robot appears, "You can try… but you won't succeed."

"Then I guess we'll have to keep fighting…" Sonic's voice says.

The robot turns to Sonic, Eve, and Knuckles.

"Until we get it right," Sonic says.

"Long time, no beat down, A.D.A.M," Eve says.

"Hello Sonic and Eve, it's a pleasure to see you again," A.D.A.M says, throwing electric energy at the three.

They all dodge out of the way. Knuckles quickly dodge and falls to the ground to see the familiar fire ant.
"Archimedes? What are you doing…? Oh, never mind!" Knuckles angrily says.

Sonic moves away from the small robotic balls. Eve uses her sword to slice them into pieces.

"Not so fast, creep," Eve says.

Sonic asks, "What in the world are those things?"

"A little something to keep you both occupied while I complete my mission," A.D.A.M says.

"I don't think so!" Knuckles angrily says and punches A.D.A.M on the chest.

Meanwhile, the Chaotix and Dark Legions return with Locke. Julie-Su supports him as they exit the Warp Ring.

"We're back! How are you feeling sir?" Julie-Su asks.

"Don't worry, Julie-Su. I'm holding up just…" Locke answers.

However, everyone comes to a stop in shock.

"Edmund's ghost!" Locke says, shocked.

What they say are the camps destroyed and the Legionnaires and Echidnas disappeared. Vector turns around to see more Warp Rings and the Dingoes come out, including General Kage.

"Uh-oh. Dingoes in the house!" Vector panics.

"Satisfied, Locke? The Dark Legion's base of operation has been discovered because that stupid Master Emerald you foisted upon us!"Lien-Da angrily says.

Julie-Su is not pleased and soon yells at her half-sister, "Just a second, 'sis'! Nobody forced you to accept the emerald!"

"Be quiet you little…" Lien-Da angrily says.

"Ever since we arrived on Angel Island, all you've done is thrown it into our faces that the Emerald had been entrusted to you, and complained about your responsibilities! Now isn't the time to worry about that when we have real problems to worry about!" Julie-Su angrily says.

"Girls! Now's not the time to fight when the Dingoes are here," Vector says.

"We got more to worry about," Charmy panics.

Lien-Da sighs, "Fine. I can scold you and Locke, later!"

With that, the Dark Legionnaire and the Chaotix head off to stop the Dingoes. At the same time, Charmy flies in the air with Julie-Su grabbing a hold of his legs.

"Hey! Where are you guys going?" Mighty calls out.

"To find Saffron!" Charmy calls out.

"And Knuckles, "Julie-Su adds.

At the Master Emerald Shrine, Sonic, Eve, and Knuckles do their best to fight A.D.A.M. Eve uses her Master Emerald sword to attack and A.D.A.M uses his sword to strike back. Sonic spin dashes him on the back and Knuckles uses his spiked knuckles to counter. A.D.A.M then throws all three to the stairs of the Master Emerald.

"Now those three are out of the way… it's time I collect my trophy!" A.D.A.M says, raising his sword in the air emitting electricity.

He holds his sword up and ready to strike the three down and take the Master Emerald. Suddenly, the Master Emerald begins to glow.

"What the?!" A.D.A.M exclaims.

The Master Emerald continues to glow and three beams of light hit the three on the ground.

Lara-Le asks in shock, "Wh-what is happening to them, Wyn?"

"I don't know, Lara, but we'd better stand back!" Wyn answers.

Soon, everyone moves out of the way. Soon, the three begin to transform. Knuckles' fur turns pink while Sonic and Eve's fur change to gold. At the same time, Julie-Su, Locke, and Charmy arrive to see what is happening. Sonia, Manic, Cloud-Ra, and Moritori Rex arrive as well.

Julie-Su asks, shocked, "Kn-Knuckles…?"

A.D.A.M then slashes a sword beam at Knuckles, but the echidna grabs it.

He answers, "No… Super Knuckles…"

"And let's not forget Super Sonic and Super Eve," Sonic adds.

Eve then brings out her Master Emerald sword and creates a sword slash that cuts the robot A.D.A.M in, in half. Sonic then punches both of the pieces through the wall. Outside, the Dark Legionnaires and the Chaotix continue to fight against General Kage and his Dingo army. Suddenly, two gold lights and one pink one fly through the roof of the palace.

"What in…?" Kage exclaims.

What they see are the two pieces of A.D.A.M's armor. Then Knuckles throws the pieces into the ocean. The Dingoes, Echidnas, and Chaotix are shocked to see Sonic, Eve, and Knuckles in their super forms.

One of the Dingoes calls out, "Retreat! Retreat!"

The Dingoes go through the Warp Rings as fast as they can. The Echidnas are awed to see Knuckles becoming incredibly powerful. The echidna and the two hedgehogs land on the ground as they change back to their original forms. The three turn to each other and give each other a high five.

"Score one more for the good guys," Sonic says.

Suddenly, a hologram of Dr. Eggman appears and angrily says, "You three may have defeated my army, but it doesn't matter since I know where the Master Emerald's location, and an army of my Egg pawns is en route that not-so hidden palace even as we…"

But Sonic steps on the device and shouts, "Aaaah shaddap!"

Knuckles and his father to the Master Emerald.

"We've got to move the Master Emerald to a new hiding place!" Locke says.

"Agree!" Knuckles says.

Knuckles then notices, "Where's Remington?"

"Both he and Dr. Finitevus were among those who were captured by A.D.A.M special sorting balls," Archimedes sadly says.

"Remmy…" Knuckles says sadly, and tears begin to fall from his face. Remington has been one of his good friends.

Lien-Da sighs, "There's no time to mourn friends…"

"Or family…" Lien-Da whispers.

Sometime later, the remaining of the Dark Legionnaires and the Echidnas leave through Warp Rings to a safer hiding place. A few of them are taking the Master Emerald through a different Warp Ring to keep it another hiding place.

Landing on the ground is Bunnie driving one of the Freedom Fighter's airships.

Sonic calls out to Knuckles, "Yo Knux our ride's coming."

"Yes, but… dad… and mom…" Knuckles worriedly says.

"It's alright Knuckles, I understand," Locke says.

"Yes. Seeing everything that's happened here during my travels and times on Angel Island, it made me realizes that if Dr. Eggman takes over Mobius, the whole planet will be in trouble, not just Angel Island. I can't let that happen," Knuckles says.

"I know. Even I saw the threats that this mad doctor will bring. Promise to come visit once we're sure people are safe," Locke says.

"Thank you dad," Knuckles says.

Knuckles and Locke hug each other and Locke walks to the Warp Ring. Knuckles then walks to his mom.

Lara-Le hugs him and says, "Take care of yourself, son. We'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too, mom. I'll miss you, too…" Knuckles says.

After that, Lara-Le leaves through the Warp Ring with her family. Of course, there is still one family that has to say their goodbyes.

Eve asks, "Are you sure, you'll be alright?"

"Yes. I do enjoy being with you, but my place is with the Legion. Now that I know that our people need help, more than ever," Moritori says.

"Chao Chao," Jazz sadly says.

"We understand. I'll miss you father," Cloud-Ra says.

Soon Cloud and his father hug each other.

"I'll miss you too, my son," Moritori says.

"Promise to let us know if anything happens," Eve says.

"I will. I'll try to see you all in the city the best I could," Moritori says.

Eve, Cloud-Ra, and Jazz wave goodbye as Moritori is the one of the last to go through the Warp Ring. Eve, Jazz and the three echidnas watch as the Legion and the echidnas leave through the Warp Ring and begin to set off to their new home.

Meanwhile in Echidnaopolis, Dr. Eggman maniacally laughs as he says, "Sonic, Eve, and Knuckles may have thwarted my plan to steal the Master Emerald, but the day hasn't been a complete wash."

Suddenly, A.D.A.M appears on the screen, "I agree. It hasn't been a wash out at all. With those you've captured. And place in your latest creation… they'll become even stronger."

Soon, Eggman and A.D.A.M look to see the people are trapped in sphere containers and they all look like they're asleep and some strange energy circle around them.

"Exactly. It hasn't been a complete wash at all…" Eggman says. Then he maniacally laughs.

Sometime later, A.D.A.M appears on a different screen in another room. He then turns the screen to see the tapestry from the Hidden Palace.

"It's a good thing this mission wasn't a total loss. I managed to gain what I've been looking for. And with time, I will soon gain the owner of the Master Emerald Sword," A.D.A.M says.
