Chapter 4 : Beach Blunder
Emerald Beach – Seaside Ocean
"Woo, glad I lost her," Sonic sighed as he reached the beach, "Man, I wonder where all the people went?"
Sonic looked around the beach and saw that it was empty. Beach towels were unused, Umbrellas were left open, with no one under them, even the Life Guard tower was empty.
"Huh, this is weird, must have been a shark sighting or something," Sonic said walking around the beach.
"SONIC!" Amy shouted reaching the beach.
"Aww geez," Sonic said looking at Amy running towards him.
"Why did you run away?" Amy asked him angrily.
"Wow, this beach is empty," Tails said landing in with Cream right behind him.
"I know, but I can't figure out why," Sonic shrugged.
"Um, Mr. Sonic, look over there," Cream said pointing towards something washed up on shore.
The group ran over to the object, and noticed that it looked like something they knew.
"Knuckles? Is that you?" Sonic asked closing in on the object. Knuckles The Echidna was a friend of there's. He was the guardian of the master emerald on angel island.
"Knuckles, are you okay?" Tails asked.
A large ball of green light came from Knuckles' back.
"What's this?" Sonic shouted.
Knuckles' stood up, but to everyone's surprise, it wasn't the knuckles they were expecting.
"AHHH!" Amy screamed.
"That isn't Knuckles, it's Metal Knuckles," Tails exclaimed.
It was indeed Metal Knuckles, a copy of Knuckles the Echidna created by Dr. Eggman to be faster and more powerful than the regular Knuckles. When he failed to retrieve the chaos emeralds from Angel Island, Dr. Eggman throw him away, and he was never seen again, until now.
"Get out of the way, now!" Sonic shouted at Amy, Cream and Tails.
Metal Knuckles extended his arms with his large fists to try and attack Sonic. Sonic jumped out of the way.
"You're going to have to try harder than that," Sonic laughed, rolling into a ball.
"Sonic, don't, Metal Knuckles isn't affected by the Spin Dash," Tails shouted.
Sonic didn't listened, and launched his self towards Metal Knuckles. He hit him, but nothing happened, but a loud crash.
"AH. My Arm," Sonic yelled in pain. Sonic
Metal Knuckles hovered swiftly high above Sonic. He positioned himself upside down, with his huge fists pointing and Sonic, and blasted himself down to the ground.
"SONIC," Amy shouted.
"NOOOOOOO," Sonic shouted looking up at the oncoming Metal Knuckles.
The Robot got closer and closer. Sonic and friends knew this wouldn't end well. But suddenly, a long, white string with a fishing hook on the end of it wrapped around Metal Knuckles. It was Big the Cat's fishing line. Big the Cat was a friend of Amy and Cream. They once helped him find his best friend Froggy, who was kidnapped by Dr. Eggman.
Big spun the fishing line around above his head and sent Metal Knuckles flying into the ocean once again.
"Good job Big," Tails said.
"I couldn't let him do that to one of my friends," Big said in his dumb tone of voice.
"Thanks Mr. Big, if you wouldn't have shown up, Mr. Sonic might have been seriously hurt," Cream said hugging Big.
"Too bad you didn't get here sooner," Amy said worried, "Sonic's arm looks broken."
"Ahh," Sonic moaned weakly.
"We have to take him to my lab to check on him, it's too dangerous here," Tails said.
Big picked up Sonic carefully, so he wouldn't hurt his arm, and followed Tails towards his lab. Cream and Amy, followed, along with Cheese, Chocola, Cheese's twin, and Froggy, Big's best friend, who came with Big.
