Hello everyone. I want to apologize to anyone who tried to review. I didn't know that I had to change it so that I could except unsigned reviewers. I'd like to thank Saroya for pointing that out for me.

Anyway, on with chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

"There, that should do it." Tails said as he finished repairing the wing of the plane.

The pilot was very impressed, "Wow! You were right Sonic. That fox fixed the plane in no time."

"What did I tell ya. Is Tails the man, or what?" Sonic said.

"Aw, it's no big deal." Tails blushed.

As Sonic ran off with Tails hovering above, Sonic told his friend all about his fight with Broad. Tails was very interested as to where the creature came from.

"Well, you could always go to the jail and ask him yourself." Sonic joked.

"No thanks."

"Don't worry Tails, he wasn't that tough anyway."

Later that night, at the Station Square maximum security prison, Broad was thinking of his resent battle. As Sonic suggested, Broad was in the most secure cell that the prison had, and with his suit damaged he couldn't break out. However Broad wasn't thinking about escaping, he was thinking about Sonic

'How could I lose to a little blue hedgehog' he thought, 'I've never lost a match before in my life. I was the strongest warrior in the universe. I have to fight him again, I have to reclaim my title. I have to...'

Suddenly, Broad could hear the alarm sounding from outside. He went to his window to see what was going on. He saw that a very large robot had obviously broken through the fence surrounding the prison. The robot had treads for legs, rocket launchers as arms, several missiles on his head, and machine guns sticking out of his chest compartment. The guards were firing at the threatening robot with rifles, but they didn't even make a scratch.

Broad was very confused, "What's going on here?" Just then he noticed that something was flying above the robot. It was a small hover craft, piloted by an egg-shaped man.

The strange man laughed at the guards pitiful attempts to bring down the robot. "Ha ha ha ha ha! They call this maximum security. Pathetic." He then turned to the robot, "Arsenal, show them how you got your name."

With that, Arsenal fired it's machine guns at the guards, causing them to run for cover. Suddenly a police jet appeared from above, and a policeman talked into a mega phone. "Attention Dr. Eggman, you are under arrest. Call off your robot at once."

Dr. Eggman smiled, "I have a better idea. Arsenal, blow them out of the sky!"

Arsenal fired one of it's missiles at the jet. The pilot ejected from the jet just as the missile hit, turning the plane into scrap iron.

"Well this was most entertaining, but it's time to get what we came for."

Knowing what Eggman was talking about, Arsenal firing it's rocket launchers at Broad's cell, blowing the wall wide open. Eggman landed his hovercraft in front of the hole, and walked inside to see a surprised Broad.

Broad was rather curious as to the identity of his visitor, "Who are you anyway?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Eggman, the greatest evil genius in the universe. I think that we can help each other out."

"What do you think I need help with, and how did you know I was here."

"Let me explain. My robot satellite picked up something entering the Earth's atmosphere. So I sent my spy robot's to find out what the object was, and I found out that it was you. I also witnessed your battle with Sonic. He beat you pretty bad, didn't he?"

Broad grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him closer, "He may have defeated me, but I will destroy him no matter who I have to kill to do it."

"So, you are willing to kill people to get what you want."

Broad glared at Eggman, "It's not the first time I've had to. I'll do anything to be the best."

Eggman grinned evilly, "That's just what I wanted to hear." He pulled himself away from Broad's grip, "I think I can help you."

"How?"

"With my technical genius I should be able to repair your suit and make it stronger. I also noticed that Sonic was able to defeat you by using one of this planet's chaos emeralds. I think I can give your suit the ability to harness the power of something even greater than the chaos emeralds."

"Why should I trust you?"

Eggman grinned, "Sonic is my enemy as well as yours, and that makes us allies."

Broad wasn't used to others helping him, but he was determined to get Sonic back for the humiliating defeat he had handed him. "All right, but first I must know what this great power source is that you are talking about."

"I don't suppose you've heard of the Master Emerald."

The next morning, Sonic got out of bed and walked downstairs to Tails' workshop to see what his buddy was up to, and to give him something.

"Hey, Sonic!" Tails said as he looked up from the Tornado. "What's up?"

"Just thought you might be able to use this for something." Sonic pulled out the blue chaos emerald. "Only slightly used."

"Wow, thanks Sonic. I'll be able to make the Tornado go even faster with this."

Sonic smirked, "I like the sound of that."

"But Sonic, don't you think it would be a good idea if you hold onto it instead. You might need it for another battle."

Sonic gave Tails a thump's up, "Don't worry about it little buddy. I can handle anything."

Meanwhile, floating high in the sky on an island known as Angel Island, Knuckles the Echidna was, as always, sitting in front of the Master Emerald Shrine. It was a beautiful day, which sort of made Knuckles feel like doing something instead of just sitting there. However, as the guarding of Angel Island and protector of the Master Emerald, he knew he couldn't abandon his post.

Suddenly, he noticed a strange creature floating down from the sky, and landing a few feet in front of him. Within seconds, Knuckles was on his feet and ready for action.

"Who are you? What are you doing on my island?" Knuckles demanded.

The creature simply smiled and said, "My name is Broad, the intergalactic champion, and I have come here to take that emerald."

Knuckles cracked his famous knuckles, "If you want that emerald, you'll have to get through me first."

"A pleasure."

Anxious to get things started, Knuckles charged at Broad with a flying kick. Broad jumped into the air to avoid the blow, sending Knuckles straight for a boulder. Instead of kicking it, Knuckles pushed off of the rock to send himself right for Broad. With a powerful punch, Broad was send to the ground below.

Broad was shocked as he tried to get up, 'That was a brilliant move. I may be up against more than just the brute strength that the doctor warned me about.'

Just then, Broad looked up to see Knuckles falling right towards him with a Drill Claw attack. Broad wasn't quick enough to react, and was plowed into the ground, HARD. Knuckles was standing over his fallen foe with a serious look in his eyes.

"Time to come clean." Knuckles demanded, "Why did you want to steal my emerald?"

"Because I told him to." a voice came from behind.

Knuckles quickly turned around, and was shocked to see a metal claw grab hold of the emerald and carry it up to a small hovercraft.

Knuckles was furious, "Eggman!! Bring me back that emerald!"

Eggman laughed hysterically, "Sorry knucklehead, but I've got big plans for this emerald. Isn't that right Broad."

Knuckles turned around and was intsantly met with Broad's fist, sending him crashing into the Shrine.

"I hope that hurt." Broad laughed and, charging up his jet boots, flew off with Eggman.

The entire island began to shake as it started falling toward the ocean below. The impact shoke the whole island, as Knuckles was awakened.

Knuckles stood up, full of rage. "No one makes a fool out of me. If Eggman think he's going to get away with stealing the Master Emerald, he's got another thing coming."

With that, Knuckles took off in search of Dr. Eggman and the Master Emerald.
