Realizing True Power

(14 years later)

"Good morning son," come a manly voice into Jerry-su's mind. He quickly opened his eyes and sat up. Before him stood his father Knuckles. In his arms were a pillow and a blanket.

"Oh hey dad," Jerry-su yawned. "What's up?"

"You're mother wanted me give you this so you won't cold at night."

"Yeah it does get kind of cold out here at night,"Jerry-su relied as he stood to his feet. "Did you have to go through this when you became the guardian? Sleeping in the cold, alone, having to search for food and water?"

Knuckles looked down for a moment and then back with a smile. He couldn't reply. Thinking of his childhood brought back terrible memories. "Not really son," he managed to crack out.

"Oh, I see," Jerry-su mumbled. "Sorry, I forgot."

"Hey don't sweat it," Knuckles said putting his hand on his son's shoulder. "Where's mom? I thought she might come with you."

"She'll be here soon. I just got a head start."

Suddenly, the sky went dark. A hard wind came crashing through Angel Island. Knuckles and Jerry-su braced their selves. Knuckles knew what was happening. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to protect his son. All these terrible thoughts came rushing through his mind.

"Dad what's happening?" Jerry-su asked.

Knuckles didn't respond for a moment. "I'm not sure," he managed to blurt out. He looked into the sky to see that they were in a spiral formation. The center of the formation opened wide and a bright light came bursting through. The emerald on Jerry-su's forehead began to glow bright green. The light split into a dozen separate lights. An evil looking hand came from one the lights. Then a leg, then the entire body, revealing Chaos. This Chaos was a little different, this monster was burning red and had a black sphere floating in it's head instead of a brain.

"What's that suppose to be?" Jerry-su asked in confusion.

"I don't know. But there's more coming from those pillars of light," Knuckles quickly responded. "Look."

Jerry-su's eyes widened as he watched eleven more of those creatures appeared. Knuckles quickly struck a karate stance. Jerry-su threw out the same pose.

"Looks like my job as the guardian is about to REALLY begin," he said in his mind. "All this training is about to pay off."

One of the monsters ran forward and swung its claw at Knuckles. Knuckles quickly blocked and countered by throwing a mighty punch at the sphere in its head. The beast flew back crashing through a tree. The other creatures looked at their ally and back at Knuckles and Jerry-su. "They sure aren't too strong," Jerry-su said.

"Don't underestimate them," Knuckles replied. "Here they come get ready."

The remaining creatures all charged forward. Jerry-su let out a cocky smile and slammed his fist into the ground causing it to crack. The creatures leaped into separate directions evading the attack. Two of the creatures landed in front of Knuckles. One of them expanded its body into a giant ball while the other stretched out its hand to grab the ball. Knuckles tilted his head in confusion and watched as the creature began to swing the ball around. Knuckles leaped backwards flipping in midair. The creature chased after him still swinging the ball. Knuckles ran down the stairs of the shrine. After reaching the bottom he came to a sliding stop and spun around. The creature was still chasing him.

"Wait for it," he said. "Almost there." The creature drew closer and closer swinging the ball. "Now!" Knuckles yelled. He leaped into the air charging straight at the creature. The creature slammed the ball of water into the ground trapping Knuckles. "Perfect," Knuckles said in his mind. He stretched his arms straight out and began to spin inside the ball. With each spin he increased speed. Forming inside the ball was a small cyclone. As he increased speed the cyclone grew bigger and bigger. The creature holding the ball was pulled inside. Knuckles spun around so fast that it caused the ball to explode destroying both creatures.

(Meanwhile)

Jerry-su reached for one of creature's arms and ripped it off. The creature didn't let out a cry or anything. Jerry-su backed away in disgust to see the dislocated arm turned into water, while the creature was growing a new arm. "Oh," Jerry-su said in a plane voice. And with that the creature grabbed Jerry-su by the leg and threw him off the shrine. "Jerry-su!" Knuckles yelled.

"Aaaaaaagghhhh," come a women's voice from the forest. "Knuckles, Jerry-su, help!"

Knuckles gasped as he one of the creatures into another. "It's Julie-su," he said in his mind. "I hope Jerry-su landed near her location. In the mean time I gotta fight off the things."

Jerry-su quickly jumped to his feet. He shook his head trying to regain focus. "Aaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhh," came a women's scream. It sounded like it was near. "Jerry-su help!"

"Mom?" he said in confusion.

"Over here look." Jerry-su quickly turned around to see that his mother was being chased by two of those creatures form before. Jerry-su ran to assist his mother. Her leaped into the air and landed on top of a creature destroying it. The remaining creatures stopped chasing Julie-su and focused on her son. Jerry-su stuck out his tongue teasing the creature. Just as the creature attempted to attack Jerry-su, it exploded, turning into a large puddle.

"What the?" Jerry-su said in confusion. He noticed that his mom was holding a gun. Smoke was coming out of gun. "Good shot mom."

"Thanks son," Julie-su replied. " I didn't think I'd have to use this ever again. C'mon let's go check on your father hurry." Together they ran back to the Master Emerald.

Knuckles panted in extreme exhaust. He looked around at all the puddles from the strange creatures he had managed to destroy. He looked at the Master Emerald and smiled. "Well that was a close one," he said.

"Knuckles down here," came relaxing voice. Knuckles took his eyes off the emerald and looked around. After catching site of his lovely wife and son Knuckles quickly ran down the stairs of the shrine. "Ohhhhh. Come here sweetie." Julie-su said giving her husband a hug. Jerry-su folded his arms and smiled. He walked over and joined them in their hug.

"What are you doing here Julie-su?" Knuckles said. "It's dangerous."

"I was about to come out when I saw the sky go dark. So I grabbed my gun and came down to check it out."

"It doesn't matter now," Jerry-su broke in. "A family has to stick together. And as long as we are together there's nothing that can stop us."

Knuckles smiled down with extreme happiness and noticed a small puddle by Jerry-su's feet. "Look out!" he yelled pushing Julie-su out the way. The spread itself around Jerry-su. Just as Jerry-su attempted his escape the puddle lifted itself from the ground and formed a ball of water around him. "Jerry-su!" Knuckles yelled with worry.
