Dark Times part 3

As fast as he could, Knuckles shot to the ground hitting it hard. He quickly ran through the forest throwing any obstacles out of his way. Sensei he called over and over again but to no response. What if what Tikal said was really true? If it was then that means Knuckles would be all alone.

"Sensei!" Knukcles shouted at the top of his lungs. Knuckles suddenly stopped, he couldn't believe what he saw. For at the top of a waterfall Knuckles could what looked like a dead body. With all his might he leaped into the air and began gliding towards the top. Once there, Knuckles gasped. It was Moon-Hawk. He was…

"Sensei!" Knuckles screamed. "Get up, please get up!"

Then the unthinkable happened, Moon-Hawk's arm began to twitch. The old man coughed a few times and looked at Knuckles. "Aggghhh, Knukcles," he moaned. "My son. I'm so glad I could see you one last time."

Knuckles grabbed his teacher's hand with tears in his eyes. "No Sensei please. Stop talking like that you're gonna be okay."

"Ohh Knuckles," Moon-Hawk groaned. "Do not be afraid. You're a bright young man and I believe that taught you all you need to know. You will make a great guardian of the Master Emerald."

"I can't do it all alone Sensei. Please don't on me now."

Moon-Hawk struggled to lift his hand and gently put it on Knuckles' face. He gave the young Echidna one last smile and with that he closed his eyes and let his hand drop to the ground. Knuckles' eyes widened. He never thought this day would come. He grabbed his master's fallen arm and squeezed it tight with both hands.

"SENSEI!"

(The Next Morning)

Knuckles didn't sleep that whole night his teacher died. He was filled with too much anger to sleep. One thing was set on his mind.

"Revenge," he said in his mind. "I will avenge my Sensei's death. I already know who did this to him. The Dingoes."

Knuckles looked over the waterfall's edge. In the distance he could a faint trace of smoke. It might of camp of some kind so Knuckles leaped off the waterfall ran in the direction of the fire.

"Well done men!" the commander of the Dingo army said. "We've rid the world of those damned Echidnas tonight we celebrate and we will finally return home."

The troops in the army all cheered raising there guns into the air.

"Hold it!" said a young boy's voice. The Dingo army fell silent and looked around to find the source of the voice. The only thing they found was Knuckles. "You're not going anywhere unless you go through me."

All the men laughed at Knuckles. "Well, well," the commander said. "Looks like there's one that we haven't killed yet. "This won't be so hard. Allow me to do the honors."

One of the men handed the commander a gun and he aimed it at Knuckles. Knuckles stood his ground. He wasn't afraid of any old gun. The fire in his eyes said it all.

"Good Bye Echidna," and with that he fired the gun. Knuckles quickly lifted his hand and caught the bullet. "What the?"

Knuckles looked over to a soldier and threw the bullet at his throat automatically killing him. Everyone gasped with extreme shock. Never had they seen catch a bullet.

"All men open fire!" the commander yelled.

All the Dingoes did as they were told and began to fire upon Knuckles. Knuckles leaped out of the way of the bullets and disappeared in a tree. The Dingoes continued fire in the trees unaware if they were hitting anything. Everyone stopped and looked at the trees. Knuckles slowly and quietly moved about the trees trying not to make a sound. He looked over towards the commander who had ran into his tent.

"That's my target," Knuckles said in his mind. "Three, Two, One."

Knuckles quickly shot out of a tree and slammed his fist into a soldier killing him and ran at the commander's tent. Suddenly, Knuckles was cut off by the impact of a jeep. The jeep drove Knuckles' head into a tree. The soldier driving got out and looked at the front. It looked like Knuckles was dead. The soldier wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked off.

"Hold on," Knuckles shouted. Then the jeep was lifted off the ground. The Dingoes were terrified at the sight of a six year old lifting a jeep. "IT'S NOT OVER YET. NOT BY A LONG SHOT."

Knuckles threw the jeep soldier crushing him. The soldiers screamed in horror and began firing again. Knuckles jumped behind the banged up jeep. All he needed was the right timing. "Alittle longer," he said softly. "Now!"

Knuckles quickly got up and threw his most powerful at the jeep. The jeep quickly dragged on the ground and slammed into the soldiers killing them all. Knuckles looked over to the commander's tent. The flame in his eyes burned so brightly you could almost see it. "C'mon out," he shouted to the tent. "Nowhere to run."

There was no response. Knuckles let out a sigh and slowly approached the tent. As he drew closer his heart begun to beat against his chest. He would finally kill the man who killed his Sensei. He began grow impatient and started running at the tent. Knuckles threw the tent door out of his way ready to do some serious damage. But to his surprise, Knuckles could see that the commander wasn't there. Knuckles tilted his head in confusion. Then Knukles heard the sound of a car starting. He tore through the back of tent to see the commander in another one of the jeeps.

"HAHAHAHAHAH," the evil Dingo yelled nervously. "Catch me now kid."
