CHAPTER SEVEN:
A reckless weasel

Knuckles pulled his hand out of the wall. when he had herd he'd been framed, he'd punched a hole in the wall. His expression was the scariest Tails had ever seen.

"Calm down Knuckles! We're going to get this creep!" Tails reassured.

"No, you're not! I'll do it! I'm gonna get him, and when I do, I'm gonna kill him! Sonic! Where did you find this stuff!" Knuckles asked.

Shadow grabbed a bottle of light beer off of the shelf. He was at the bar and had a serious hang over. He pulled the cap off of an Advil bottle. The beer washed down the pills. Now he was regretting the alcohol. His head was throbbing, he was hearing voices, he was seriously wasted now.

He wasn't quite sure what had happened. Of coarse he felt bad about what he did to Blaze. It didn't take long for him to sober up when he'd realized what he'd done. But had he done it? It didn't seem like something he'd do. He was starting to wish he could take off the tux, it was killing him. Shadow pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "I need a vacation."

"Knuckles stop!" Tails and Sonic begged trying to pull his arms, an attempt to stop him. But they were no match for Knuckles' strength.

"Let go of me! I'm not going to stop! Fang's gonna get what he deserves!" Knuckles then retaliated, he kicked tails in the stomach, knocking him out. Then attacked Sonic, he to, was knocked out. "Heh, still as weak as ever, eh Sonic?"

Knuckles walked down the hall until he reached the end. He fought the urge to break the door to the secret entrance. With a simple push, the door creaked open.

"Alright! Show yourself!" He shouted. No answer. "Damn you stop hiding!" The room was dark and was exactly how Sonic described. A dark room with virtually nothing but a table.

"Long time no see, eh Knux?" said an ominous voice

"Hm. I knew I'd find you here, Fang. By the way, the name is Knuckles." Knuckles replied.

"So you recognized my voice eh?"

"I could recognize that obnoxious voice anywhere."

"As funny as ever Knuckles." Fang said sarcastically.

"Why did you frame me!" Knuckles retorted.

"You still owe me, remember? It was about, 12 years ago. It was on Angel Island. I had made the score of a lifetime. Three chaos emeralds! That's a total of well at least two million rings. That's enough to retire on! But you had to try and stop me! You slowed me down! Before the battle was over, Sonic showed up and ripped me off! Remember?" Fang said.

"Wait, that's Sonic's fault, why don't you hate him?" Knuckles asked.

"Of coarse I do you dumb ass! I'm just taking you guys out one by one. Starting with you." Knuckles chuckled. "Whats so funny?"

"You always were a reckless weasel."

"Where do you think Sonic went?" Charmy asked

"I think he took off the Knuckles." Espio replied "We'll just have to finish operation breakup by ourselves."

"Okay!" Charmy grabbed his back pack. He pulled out an envelope. Inside were pictures of Vector the two had taken. They had decided to go with their first plan. The one they had come up with at their home. Wait till they saw Amy again and give her the pictures, she was sure to break up with him.

Amy and Vector were working hard to find out who they could have seen in the hall when Charmy and Espio showed up.

"Uh, Amy we really like you and we don't want you to get hurt. So before you continue your ahem, partnership with Vector we'd like you to have this." Charmy said handing over the pictures. Amy looked shocked. One was of Vector sleeping with a Teddy bear, The other showed his room, full of child hood toys. The third was of him shaving his legs. And the forth was him eating tofu.

Amy stared at the fourth picture and asked "Is that real…"

"Yes Amy. Its REAL tofu." Espio said his eyes growing wide.

"I can explain!" Vector cried "Mr. Bom Bom's is my teddy, he's been with me since I was born! And the toys, well, I'm very attached to all my stuff! I can't let anything go. The tofu, well, I'm a vegetarian who isn't now a days? And the legs, well, they get so scaly, I can't help it! Please don't break up with me!"

"What kind of a crocodile is a vegetarian?" Charmy asked, feeding the fire.

"Vector…" Amy stared intently into Vectors eyes. here it comes! She's gonna drop the bomb! Charmy thought. "Vector…you…you…Oh I'm So happy!" WHAAAAT! "Ever since I found out that you were the person I'd been talking to, you haven't shown that sensitive side you showed on the internet. I was starting to wonder If I'd ever see it! But this shows it! You are sensitive! I love you Vector! Thank you Charmy and Espio! Thank you:

"Damn we suck." Espio said walking away. "We try to break them up and we just make things better for them! Got any plans Charmy?"

"Two words! Child Pornography!"

"WHAT!"

Fang collapsed, he was finished, the battle between him and knuckles seemed to have been going on forever.

"You never even touched me! I warned you. Now I think I'll just leave you here to bleed to death!" Fang let Out a weak groan. Knuckles walked away toward the door. Bang! Pain shot through Knuckles' shoulder. Fang had taken the cowards way out. He'd shot Knuckles from behind. But before he'd gotten the chance to fire another round, Knuckles sprang into action. "Arrrahhh! You coward!" With all his strength he smashed his fist down on Fang's head. The attack was so powerful Fang's head seemed to fuse to the ground. He was finally dead.

"God Knuckles! You didn't have to kill him. He was our only suspect." Sonic said finally awake.

"Sorry, well at least the threat has been evaded… And now I win a million dollars!" Knuckles said happily.

"Don't be so sure!" Tails said stepping in to the room.

"Where did you come from?" Sonic asked, startled.

"What do you mean Tails?"

"Another person has been killed!"

I added the Charmy and Espio side story in because I figured that I haven't done anything with they're story yet. I hope liked it… I'm just glad I finally finished it. I think I'm back on track with my story, Oh, and the hiatus is over.
