The morning brought more bad news.
It all started with a phone ringing. The day before had been a fruitless day of searching for the ever-powerful Robotnik which eventually ended up in the finding of several brain-dead teens, none of whom carried the name 'Shaun' and resembled the princess's rescuer and the hero's friend. However, they did find something else; not only had Robotnik flown the coop, but Knuckles had been to earth before, and just happened to have connections.
The phone continued to ring.
"Knuckles, if that's one of your 'friends' then answer it!" Sonic mumbled from the floor.
Wide awake and laughing to himself, Knuckles sat up, stretched, took his time, and eventually got to the phone.
"Hol-ya," He answered.
"Knu-kels, tecs ma." This seemed to be a language Knuckles knew, so it might as well be translated, starting with the last sentence.
"Knuckles, it's me!"
"Nice to hear from you, Stulom. What's the word?"
"The doctor has a new home. Currently, it can be found in the abandoned power factory eight miles out of town. That would be 783 287 on your last planet."
"Just where it was last time. Thanks. Anything else?"
"There always is. A being transported himself to your last world, and has currently walked right through a Bi-Dimensional Barrier! It didn't even faze him! Is he the twin of the Starlight, by chance?"
"That's all it was; Chance. He isn't the twin, but I've seen Starlight pull off the same trick before. He must be the Darklight, but I doubt it. He isn't strong enough."
"You can never tell with evil! Good luck!"
"Good luck."
Knuckles hung up the phone. "Who was that and what the heck were you saying?" Sonic yawned as he followed Knuckles into the kitchen.
"That was a friend of mine, just like you said, and we were using my home language," Knuckles replied, smiling to himself.
"I thought you were the last of your kind?" Sonic mumbled, still too asleep to think.
"He's just an ally, who's actually part of an alliance, and we used to be partners. His race was a great friend of my race, so, not only do we use the same language, but we also know how to use the Dimension System."
Sonic just gave Knuckles the most annoyed look either of them had ever seen. "Let me guess; I don't wanna know, right?"
"You could say that..."
