Knuckles stood in the shadows just inside the gates of the Hero Chao Garden. Vector the Crocodile wandered into view. There was a large painting on the wall the caught Vector's eye.
"The Mona Lisa..." Vector said, pointing at it.
"It's the shrine of the Master Emerald." Knuckles explained quietly.
"Oh, I thought she looked a little green..." Vector looked over to Knuckles and then over to a statue, which held a broken sword. "So this is how it was done... He took up the sword and cut off the Ring."
"Wrong story, Vector."
Vector cut his finger and looked at it.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm bleeding! Help me!" Vector screamed running around in circles. "THE PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIN!!"
"It's just a scratch!" Knuckles tried to calm him.
"It hurts!" Vector began beating his head against the wall.
"What are you doing?" Vector stopped and looked at Knuckles.
"If my head hurts more, then my finger won't hurt at all."
"It's just a small cut!" Knuckles yelled.
"Does this look like a small cut to you?" Vector ran up to him and held his finger up. Blood was coming out in little squirts.
"Well, kinda..."
"Kinda? I'm Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!" Vector than ran away screaming that he needed a doctor. Knuckles walked over and started cleaning up everything that broke and patched the hole in the wall that resembled Vector's head. Upon finishing, he was making sure the wall was level when Rouge approached from behind.
"Knuckles..." She said softly.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..." Knuckles was eyeing the wall. He reached over to the fixed area and pulled out a tiny piece of hair. "There we go. Yes Rouge?" Rouge stood there tapping her foot. "Oh, right..." Knuckles face suddenly turned sad.
"Knuckles..." She said softly... again.
"I am weak..."
"No your not..."
"How can you be sure?" Rouge turned around and starting talking about something about him being able to face great problems and he will conquer them. Meanwhile... Knuckles turns to you and mouths the word 'weak?' Not sure how you mouth a question mark, but it works... He flexed his muscles in his right arm and pointed at them and shook his head 'No.' He turned back to Rouge just in time for her to turn around.
"I believe in you Knuckles..." She said.
"The Mona Lisa..." Vector said, pointing at it.
"It's the shrine of the Master Emerald." Knuckles explained quietly.
"Oh, I thought she looked a little green..." Vector looked over to Knuckles and then over to a statue, which held a broken sword. "So this is how it was done... He took up the sword and cut off the Ring."
