"Knuckles! They saved your life! Don't be mad at them!" Sonic was trying to tell Knuckles that Metacarples and Mel were good. "It doesn't matter, whether they took it or not I have to find it again!" Knuckles replied. "They might even try to help you!" Sonic said. "What makes you think that?" Knuckles asked. "Well they saved the emerald once, so why wouldn't they do it again?" Sonic answered. "We shouldn't assume they'll do anything."Knuckles said. "Sonic! Can we go now?" Tails asked. "Sure." Sonic and Tails flew off the island. Knuckles decided to wait for the island to fall into the ocean to get off. Slowly, it fell. 10 minutes later, Knuckles jumped off the island. "Where am I going to start looking?" he wondered.
