Knuckles headed into Station Square, a look of shock plastered on his face. He'd seen places like these from the sanctuary of his island but never up close or at the same level. The amout of technology was almost too much to take in.
He slowly walked into the street looking up at the looming buildings, there was suddenly a loud horn in his ear he turned and saw a giant red car coming at him. Without thinking he threw his fist out slamming the engine of the car making it stop. He looked around to see people staring at him before taking off. This world was new and confusing, he spotted a manhole cover, he grabbed the chunk of metal it was lighter than he anticipated and he almost smacked himself in the face with it.
He jumped down into the sewer and looked around he felt a light pulsing and followed it.
"See he's a natural" Chaos said, as they watched him follow the sence of the Master Emerald. Knuckles quickly turned his head at the noise, but didn't see anything.
"Yeah...a natural" Tikal said rolling her eyes." He's jumpier than a toad in a balloon factory. We never taught him about this world."
This time Knuckles whirrled around, fists raised.
"Show yourself!" he commanded.
"I still say he gets it from you" she said turning into a ball of light and flying away Chaos melted into the water as Knuckles looked for them. He found where they'd been hiding and saw a retreating light.
"Hey! Come back here!" he shouted and ran after it. Tikal realized that she'd been spotted and flew faster, that didn't help matters any as Knuckles kicked up his own speed which was faster than hers.
Knuckles lept and caught the firefly in his hands.
"OW! Knuckles please! Let go!" she squealed.
"How do you know my name? and how are you talking?" he asked tightening his grasp on her.
"Knuckles, I used to know you, you must believe me!" she begged struggling to free herself.
"No, why were you spying on me?" he continued his inquiry.
"Chaos, no!" She said as the water under Knuckles began to gurgle. "Please Knuckles let me go, then I'll tell you everything!" Knux loosened his grip, but didn't fully release her. " If you don't let go Chaos won't be too forgiving" she warned.
"Is that a threat?" he asked looking through his hands at her.
"No, it's a promise" she answered sliding out of his grip, and returned to her solid form. Knux was taken aback, and even more so as Chaos materialized next to her.
"Wh-who are you!" he demanded trying to keep his voice firm.
"I'm Tikal, and this is Chaos." she said, keeping her gaze firmly with his. "We...we were your trainers and guardains when you were young"
"I don't remember you"
"You wouldn't. I put a spell over you so you wouldn't" she confirmed, " but we made a fatal mistake in our teachings, we never taught you about the outside world that you now find yourself trapped in. The Master Emerald is the most important thing now. We will help you now that you have found us out, because this lesson is important to your training"
Knuckles gave them an alien look trying to determine if they were telling the truth.
"Oh for Gaid's sake!" she exclaimed, beginning to loose her almost endless patience and swiped her hand past Knuckles face, causing him to remember them. His eyes went wide.
"Chaos...Tikal...you're back!" he said.
"Yes, but we must go! Come we must find the emerald" she said turning back into a spark and taking off down the tunnel, Chaos went back into the water. Knuckles quickly followed but could not keep up with Tikal as she traveled through walls. 'Follow your instints' she reminded him quietly, he needed to learn this, she wouldn't always be there to help him to the emerald.
Knuckles looked between the three tunnels but couldn't think of which one to go through, he closed his eyes and felt the light pulsing of the emerald from the middle tunnel. Then went that way, he reached the end of the tunnel and saw just above the murky green water was the deep green shard of the Master Emerald.
"Chaos! Tikal? Where did you guys go?" he called, no one answered. He picked up the jem and headed back up to the surface.
My God I finally got off my lazy ass and posted this sorry it took so F-ing long. See u next time R&R.
