Sonic really wanted to know who or what that purple echidna was. Since they had nothing else to do, Sonic and Tails decided to go and see Knuckles because they thought he might know what it was. They walked until they found the floating island Knuckles lived on. When they found it, Tails picked up Sonic and flew up to the island. Knuckles saw them right away. "What are you two doing here??!" Knuckles asked. "Knuckles!! I didn't know you could teleport around!!"Sonic exclaimed. "Wha..?" Knuckles looked puzzled. "The other day ago we were flying in the Tornado and one of the the wings was blasted off and we were falling and then this purple echidna that looked just like you came and saved us." Tails explained. "Oh." Knuckles said. "You didn't save us??" Sonic was confused. "Nope," Knuckles replied. "It's weird you say that because a few days ago there were some thevies trying steal the Master Emerald and I was out numbered then suddenly all the thievies floated up into the air and flew off the island. Just then I looked to my right and there were a purple echidna and a pink cat standing next to me. I asked them a question and then the echidna looked at the cat and laughed and disapeared in a purple light. The cat was still there, staring at the emerald. Then it dissapeared in a pink light." "Wow," Sonic said. "What did the cat look like?" "It was pink with yellow stripes." "Who are these things?" Sonic said. "I know." They looked, just as a thing jumped out of a nearby tree.
