The Child That Could Be Chapter 8
By Angnix
Sonic using the Chaos Emeralds used Chaos Control to transport him, Knuckles, Tails, Amy and Tikal to Angel Island to check up on the Master Emerald. They saw no one around the Emerald so Knuckles approached it, but suddenly Chaos appeared and blocked his path. Chaos couldn't speak but Tikal was psychically connected to him and was able to speak for him.
"Knuckles, Chaos does not trust you around the Master Emerald anymore. You broke your promise to guard the Master Emerald above all else."
"I'm sorry! I'm not perfect! I will admit I let my loneness weaken me. But I realized I had made a terrible mistake. I care deeply about the Master Emerald! Please do not take it away from me now!"
"I'm sorry Knuckles, but Chaos only wants someone that he believes would never fail in their duties to guard the Emerald to be the new Guardian. That is why Chaos has appointed me to be the new Guardian. Chaos will return to the realm that he has made his new home, and I will stay behind and guard the Master Emerald. And Knuckles, you are banned from returning to Angel Island ever again."
"Tikal, do you really want to do that? I mean, I could barely stand the loneliness of being an Emerald Guardian, but I couldn't imagine how you would be able to handle it!"
"No Knuckles, I do not want to be alone, but unlike you I obey Chaos whatever he says. You have disobeyed Chaos. I didn't want to say this in the first place because it would have made me sound ungenuine is that Chaos wanted me and you to be together. Even if I really didn't like you I still would have persuaded you if Chaos told me too. But Chaos doesn't want me to have anything to do with you now, so even though I still like you I have to obey what he says."
"Tikal, if Chaos told you to jump of a cliff would you do it?"
"Of course I would because Chaos would have a good reason for me to jump."
"Tikal, I am just unsure you could handle it. And since you don't like fighting, I could see someone like Eggman easily taking the Master Emerald away from you. I think Chaos is making a huge mistake right now."
"I don't think so. And another thing, Chaos wants the Chaos Emeralds back so Sonic give them up."
"No way Tikal! Remember what happened last time that thing had all 7 Chaos Emeralds?"
"But Chaos would never do that again, and they are rightfully his Emeralds in the first place! And he doesn't want to use him himself; he wants them restored to their rightful place on the pillars surrounding the Master Emerald."
"Tikal, then if someone comes after the Master Emerald they would be able to grab the Chaos Emeralds too! That is just plain stupid!"
"Never call Chaos stupid! Just for that Chaos will forcefully take the Emeralds and all of you are banned from Angel Island forever and if you ever return you will be cursed to die!"
Suddenly Chaos waved his hand toward Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds floated away from Sonic and toward Chaos. Then suddenly in a flash of light Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Amy found themselves in the middle of Station Square. Knuckles just looked down toward the ground and looked like he was about to cry.
"Sonic, I don't know what to do now. I am so conflicted, earlier I decided to leave the Master Emerald, but now that I want to go back now I am banned from ever seeing it again."
"Knuckles, it will be okay, maybe Tikal will be alright on the island by herself. We just have to trust her. In the mean time I will have Tails fly by the island every once in a while and have him track Eggman to make sure he doesn't mess with Tikal. In the meantime Knuckles you can stay with me for a while. I have a couch you can sleep on."
"Thanks Sonic, Hey I just thought of something, whatever happened to Kentlechan?"
Suddenly at the mention of his name Kentlechan appeared in front of them.
"I was watching you guys from afar. I've decided you guys aren't so bad. Your world is cool and funny to me."
Knuckles immediately put up his fists and sneered at Kentlechan.
"I might be a little naïve sometimes Kentlechan, but even I don't buy that. You are going to try to kill me again! I am watching you!"
"Hey, I am serious; I want to be your friend now. You are cool."
Sonic then turned to Kentlechan and smiled at him.
"Hey I know, you can live with me and Knuckles for a while so you can learn more about our world!"
Knuckles immediately grabbed Sonic.
"Are you crazy? He is going to try to kill me!"
"But I want to keep an eye on him Knuckles!"
Then Tails spoke up.
"He could live with me! I am sure Knuckles is still uneasy about him."
"I think that sounds good. I think it would be fun to see if he lives up to his last name which means in my language. . ."
Tails grabbed Kentlechan and started to whisper in his ear.
"Don't tell them what my name means in your language! They will laugh at me and make jokes and stuff!"
But Sonic, Knuckles and Amy were curious as to what Kentlechan meant by this.
"So Kentlechan, what does Prower mean to you?"
"Kentlechan started laughing at the mere mention of prower."
Knuckles started laughing a little too.
"Hey maybe we should all try to guess what Prower means to Kentlechan this could be fun."
Tails got a real worried look on his face.
"No! Please don't!"
Kentlechan was still laughing and he decided to end it right there and them.
"Okay, okay, Prower means 'one who wets bed'."
Tails immediately went into the corner of the alley and started to cry. Everyone started to laugh hysterically, except Kentlechan who went up to Tails in the alley.
"I am sorry, I did not realize that I would make you cry."
"I didn't think you cared!"
"Let us go to your house now, I will also apologize for saying I would bite off your head earlier, I decided I am not."
"Uh, okay."
So Tails and Kentlechan made their way back to the train station. After quite a while Sonic, Knuckles and Amy stopped laughing and noticed that Tails and Kentlechan were gone. Sonic and Knuckles took off toward Sonic's apartment and Amy went back to hers. But what they did not realize is that Rouge was watching them too.
"Knuckles cannot return to Angel Island and the Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds are just being guarded by Tikal? Perfect, just perfect!"
