"Eh, I wasn't always this huge. Cue scene with sad little me."

Baby Knuckles fall into the screen, everything is black around him but the spotlight hits him so we can see his cute little sad face. He looks around, his lower lip trembling with big, teary eyes.

"Hey, look! It's little me! Aw, I'm so.. well, squishy!"

The baby Knuckles cries.

"Oh no! Don't cry! Well, YOU can, but you'll be feeling a lot better once you see how I got out of this… eh… small matter. You see-"

The scene drops to show a humble little home.

"This was where I grew up. In a family of about 10, all boys, naturally."

Zoom into the window to see children EVERYWHERE, one swinging from the light above and a few others brawling, before little Knuckles comes out with an apron on and a batch of cookies. His eyes widened as he drops the pan as his brothers look to him and laugh.

"And well… not everyone was accepting of my love for food, except my mother, of course."

His mother's dress walks into the frame as he looks up and she pats his head. The camera cuts to his mother's pretty face.

"Yeah, good ol'Mom, always dealing with the hardest of cases as any beautiful mother would…"

The mother looks kindly up to the rest of the children, before taking a humble breath, "GET TO BED!" she agressively shouts out before returning to her dainty status of womanhood as the boys fearfully dash upstairs, but Knuckles gets trampled in their wake.

"Heh, being the runt, you can imagine how much of a disappoint I was to my father.."

Knuckles shakes his head, getting off the floor and looking up to a sharp downward angle of the father, having a cowboy hat it seemed on and a pipe in his mouth. He was holding the newspaper and seemed to move his mouth to the side, "Grah…" he just walked passed Knuckles and went upstairs, seeming to not be very proud of his… 'weak' stature.

"I..Well, I wasn't gonna let poppy down."

Little Knuckles got up, and looked at his hands, stretching them in and out.

"I was gonna prove to my dad that I could be a mighty warrior like our proud ancestors of old!"

Cue exercise and training routine failures to then mastering them and growing a mighty chest and wide shoulder structure, along with a massive and bulky frame.

"By the time I grew in my white upward crescent mark on my chest, I was a real BEAST!"

Teenage Knuckles showing off his muscle strength, literally pushing aside his brothers and helping his mother set the table and get them in order at the same time.

"However…"

His father lowers his newspaper, as Knuckles quickly sees this, being shocked by the sudden movement, and starts posing and showing off his muscles. "…Grah." His father moves his head in a wave almost, as if not impressed, like a head could shrug, and lifted his newspaper again.

"It never seemed enough…"

Knuckles's confidence slowly fades on his face, before an arrow shoots through the house and into the turkey they had prepared on the dinner table, frightening his mother. "Get everyone outside!" his father rose up, and grabbed the family heirloom. A large spear from the ancient echidna passed.

"Father was a mighty warrior, but the war was already afoot, and he was just to old…"

Knuckles is being held by his mother as she literally has almost all the younger kids in her hands (he's still the runt, remember?) and as he bounces in her arms, dangling there, he sees his father rush out to the robots who fire him down.

"…and he wasn't enough, to really win it."

"I was later separated from my family, it's hard to keep track of eight kids, after all."

Knuckles is running to jump onto a cart where his mother is counting the heads of her children, she looks worried, and with tears in her eyes, looks to find Knuckles far away, as she reaches for him, "KNNNUUUCCKLLEEEeesssss….!" her voice fades as they disappear and teenage Knuckles turns around, holding himself and crying, out in the middle of black before he moves to the left and it shows the entrance to a city street, where he perks up a bit and runs towards it.

"It hurt some.. but I guess it wasn't too bad. Because it was then, that I truly, found my calling!"

"Alright, you lousy fighters, listen up! If you fall, you loose! Have at it!"

DING!

"ROUND ONE!"

Knuckles slams into another huge brawler, as they are now in a ring with people above, hitting the walls and cheering, shouting for them to hit the other and making bets all around.

"It was in that dirty, scum filled lair of sweat that I REALLY learned how to fight!"

Knuckles, now a bit older and bigger, lays a huge hit on his opponent, who loses a few teeth in slow motion, before falling down with swirls in his eyes, as Knuckles's arm is risen, "WE HAVE A WINNER!"

Knuckles is then shown counting money, before a man puts a shady hand on his shoulder, and gestures with his neck to come with him.

"But then, my old buddy of mine asked me to go a bit too far… and help him with a mission."

Knuckles was given a large batting club, and turned around with horror in his eyes, seeing a poor man on his knees, "No..n-no please! Don't do this, I beg you! I'll get you your money, I swear!" tears were in his eyes. As Knuckles hesitated, looking at the club, his 'buddies' and then the poor boy.

"He was just my age, and scrawny too. I just… I couldn't do it. I didn't have the heart."

He tossed the club to the side as the big shady man yanked him around to face him, leering him down stepping up, making him lean back in fear. "Do your duty, Knucks! What? Too WEAK to really do a MAN'S job?!"

"This wasn't a man's job… and I knew that then…"

Knuckles looks down, then at the boy behind him, before catching his breath and glaring at the other guy, and giving him a good hit.

"Yeah… four against one wasn't exactly a good idea.. but that kid got away… I wasn't so lucky.."

Cue a quick cut to rain as Knuckles falls into the frame, a shadowy figure, and crawls forward across the screen.

"Oh my word!" Amy's voice is heard, as Tails and her enter the scene, helping him up.

"He needs help!" Tails quickly calls out, as they get his arm over them, and they help him walk up. Their not shadows anymore, as we see a front medium shot as Knuckles has a black eye, swollen, and looks to the two with his good eye.

"That's when I met real friends, Amy and Tails. It was only later that I met Sonic… but even then. They patched me up and healed me real good. But not just my body, but my heart as well."

Knuckles laughs as he hangs out with Amy and Tails. Punching robots as Sonic races across the scene, Knuckles only taking a moment to notice him before fighting more robots, smiling.

"Yeah, then I found out that they're were good reasons to fight! And I became a hero! This team wouldn't be able to MANAGE without me! Haha! Anyway… Their kindness showed me that true strength, is standing up for what you believe in. Fighting for what's right. Defending the weak and all that, and defeating evil! Boy, do I love that part!"

Knuckles cracks his Knuckles as Eggman is spun out of his eggpod, gets up a moment, woozy, and falls down, completely knocked out.

"Good friends, a sweet, killer job…. What more could I ask for?"

Knuckles is surrounded and hugged by his friends, before the scene ends with him at a table, scarfing his face with Amy's cooking.

"Well, a side order of fries wouldn't hurt…HAHAHAH!"

END SCENE.
