Chapter 4 Losing Belief
Author's note: I'm sorry for the update wait, but i was bored out of my skull with this story. I going to try finishing this story as quickly as possible, so I can write something else. I guess I'm more of a romance and drama writer, not action/adventure. Oh well, here's the next chapter of this story that is boring to write.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters that SEGA created in this story which has me so freaking bored.

"Chaos?" Knuckles asked, looking at Sparx like he had two heads, "You're serious? The blob of spit? You've got to be kidding me, I'm SO much of a better hunter!"
Sparx nodded, "I have no doubts of that Knuckles, but I'm sure you don't forget what happens when Chaos consumes a chaos emerald?"
Knuckles shook his head. It was impossible to forget that monster of a creature. "But how do chaos emeralds affect his treasure hunting ability?"
"They don't," Sparx replied, kicking a stone a the dirt trail as they walked along, "But they could help him with attacking you and stealing whatever medallion pieces you happen to come by."
Knuckles chuckled at Sparx while flexing his muscles. "I won't give up without a fight. They don't call me Knuckles for nothin' you know!"
Sparx let out a heavy sigh at what he considered the ego obsessed echidna. "Knuckles, do you think an evil master mind like your father would do something that easy? Do you really think he would make it that simple for you to destroy him? Would he make it that simple for his legacy that he worked so hard on to come to an abrupt halt? Do you?" Sparx shouted at him, exasperated.
Knuckles decided to ignore the angered tone of the echidna's voice, and replied with a sarcastic remark. "Well, I never really considered my father a master mind. He was really always kind of slow. I'd say a joke and it'd take him five minutes to get it-"
"Knuckles!" Sparx interrupted him, more angry than ever before, "Can't you be serious? Can't you see the lives of thousands of people are in danger?"
Knuckles held his hands up in defense, "Alright, alright. So, what were you saying before?"
"Your father has made Chaos untouchable by heating up his body temperature. It is impossible to touch him without getting burned."
"So what do I have to do, ear oven mitts like Betty Crocker?"
Sparx decided not to let the echidna get on his nerves, recognizing the fact that he was not about to cease his smart comments anytime soon. "Not that kind of burn Knuckles. I'm talking about a burn that would destroy your whole hand."
"That's beautiful," Knuckles replied looking at the ground. Suddenly, something shiny caught his eye. "Hey Sparx, I think I found a piece of the medallion!" he exclaimed happily. The sooner he found the medallion pieces, the sooner he got to go home.
"Let me see that!" Sparx demanded, grabbing for Knuckles hand desperately.
"Ah, ah, ah," Knuckles teased, holding the shiny piece of gold out of Sparx's way, "What's the magic word?"
Just as Knuckles said that, the wind started to blow loudly and harshly, and the clouds started to swirl.
"KNUCKLES DON'T!" he heard a distant voice shout.
In front of Knuckles and Sparx, they saw Jamie materialize.
"You!" Sparx shouted, eyeing the ghostly echidna angrily, "Get out of here you murderer! I don't need you messing with things!"
"Murderer?" Jamie asked, clueless, "I'm certain I have no idea what you talking about. The only murderer I see here is you."
Sparx growled softly, "Liar," he whispered to himself.
Jamie turned to his son, who seemed clueless at the moment. "Knuckles, don't listen to him, he's been lying to you. He reversed the story's, I'm not the killer, he is! It is true that I would no longer be able to return to Earth with the medallion smashed, but he only wants to destroy me so I won't get in the way of his legacy. Knuckles, please believe me!"
"Jamie, your so full of it. There's no use in denying it, your son has lost all faith in you, isn't that right Knuckles?"
Knuckles turned and scowled at Sparx. "You jerk. I trusted you! You made me turn against my own father! The only reason you came to me and not Spike is because I'm gullible!"
Knuckles then turned to his father. "Here, Dad," he said, handing him the golden piece.
Jamie smiled, and did something he'd later regret. It was a mistake, but he couldn't contain himself. "You foolish echidna!" he cackled, "You haven't seen the last of me you two!" with that he disappeared into the night sky.
"No!" Knuckles shouted after him, "Damn it! he got the medallion piece! I'm so stupid!"
Sparx walked up to him, "Calm yourself Knuckles, that was a shiny rock, not a piece of the medallion."
"It was?"
Sparx nodded, and continued walking down the trail, as he mumbled the word, "Amateur..."
