Knuckles walked up to the prison gaurd and said " afternoon, im here to see my brother" "sure ok".Suckers ,he walked through the the prison, it was feeled with tons of people and one was doctor robontic(eggman). As knuckles passed thruogh the prison a fat subby man walked up to the cell door " Psss, hey you! " He turned around to see whta he wanted" yea?" " lets say i give you the money to bail me out of this place" " o and whats in it for me? " The man reached in his pocket and pulled out a red emerald and knuckles eyes lite up when he reconized it as one of the seven chaos emeralds but he tried to hide his interst in it. "yea ok as long as your paying" The man reached in his pocket again and pulled out a few hundreds and placed in knuckles hand "hurry " he said stenly and also gave him the emerald. Boy this dude must be stupid to trust a complete stranger " ill be right back buddy" knuckles says primisingly with a fanged grin. He then creeps out the door and leaves eggman setting there waiting to be bailed out.

"Can you belive this guy! He payed me to bail him out, what a dumbass and he had'nt never laid an eye on me, and to top it all off he also gave me the emerald" Knuckles said this while laughing " way to go knux! how much money is it?He counted it and then looked up with a smile "$2,000". " you are going to share that arnt you?" "uhhh well im not really the sharing type " With some persuation he gave in and gave them all a little share of the money. "So how many more emeralds do we have to find?" tails turn to rouge and asked " well" she hasetated" im wearing one right now and then knuckles just got one so that means theres five and there was one on the floating island according to the radar" " but i never knew nothing about it" "knuckles steped foward " maybe it was just hiden or one of the people that lived there used it was jewry" " IM FKING HUNGRY!" everybody turned around wide eyeded to see sonic was standing there " sorry i get violent when im hungry"

Later own that night they went back to the angel island to see if they could find the emerald, so of course they all four splited up into groups which was knuckles and rouge and sonic and tails It was about 1am and knuckles walked through the cold forest it was so cold he could see his own breath. If i want in this for the revenge i would no way in hell be out here he looked around and noticed it was beginning to snow ,o great. He felt as though he was walking alone and turned around to see where Rouge was, she was back aways looking for something on the ground or so it appered.hmm He started back her way to help her find the lost item and when he arrived she looked up at him and said " iv droped the radar somewhere i think it was somewhere around here, i can be so fking clumsy sometimes" "its ok ill help find it" he serched around for a few minutes with his eyes but there was no sign of it. "you may have droped it futher back" "maybe" He knelt down to help her up and they trailed a ways back looking around for the radar" its to cold to be out here, maybe we should just call it a night""we at least need to find the radar though " "yea ok" "you know iv been thinking, what if thoes emeralds have nothing to do with what happen to...the others and this is just a waste of time, i mean that was my whole reason for doing this, to get revenge" " what makes you doubt that there is some connection, i think tails knows what he's talking about" "yea but i have my doubts, i don' t put my trust in others ...you know there not always going to be there for you" And then he walked off still searching for the item and she wonderd what did he mean by that? She then followed behind him. "you had alot of people to screw you over hav'nt you?" " well yea sortive" he hesatitid and then continued " my father left my mom about 3 years ago, so my trust in others has kinda got hallow, humans will be humans and no one can change that people do things to there intentions and not considering others pain while doing it, its like saying well f how it affects you, im doing this for me!. I guess its something everyone is guilty of" She feel silent for a momment, she did'nt really know how to respond " um yea i know where your coming from, you know you look at life with a very unique way, i mean i just don't run across to many people like you" he did'nt seem to notice what she had said but was picking something up "think i found it" he said with a somewhat smile . She took it from him and dusted the snow off. " well gues we can head back now, i think im getting frost bite"

It took a while but they finally where back at sonics apartment" boy its really coming down out there! i think its a BLIZZARD!" "you think?" knuckles said narrowing his eyes at sonic while lighting his cigarette. Rouge stood by the window staring out at the heavy snow wondering how she was going to get home tonight and then sonic walked over to her with a big silly grin on his face" um you can stay tonight if you want...im sure knuckles would enojoy the company!" She chuckled at his statment " sure i guess, it dont look like ill be able to go out in this anyway" "alrighty then!" sonic said with his plastic grinand then wondered off to the kitchen to find tails

"where never going to find thoes emeralds at this rate" Rouged turned around to see knuckles setting on the couch blowing out excess cigarette smoke "want some?" He held the cigarette toward her "nah i don't smoke" but she went over to set beside of him anyway. "well we can't go out in this waether, me and you both will freeze to death

looking for the emeralds" "yea suppose your right" he mumbled under his breath "we'll find them it may take some time but we will" she said with a faint smile on her face. But he did'nt return the smile or an asuring answer, he just sat there staring at the floor taking another drag on his cigarette "knuckles?" " yea?" "are you ok?"" im fine im just thinking" "o ok"

For the rest of the night nothing was said between them she just found herself waking up the next mornign beside him still on the couch as she was last night god, i mustive been tired . she looked around the room a momment and saw knuckles standing by the window again, smoking, staring at the snow some down WAIT! SNOW STILL COMING DOWN! She Jumped up and ran over to the window " oh my god, its still snowing?" " yea lookes that way don't it? he said dully taking another drag off his cigarette, " maybe fates trying to fing tell me something you know like leave thoes emeralds alone" "but how are you ever going to-----" he cut in before she finished " i really have no fing idea, im starting not to give a f weather i find them or not, i mean ther all dead anyway whats the good of it?Not likes its going to bring them back" " but you owe it to them" " i don't owe them nothing" While still standing there he's sees a small shadow coming by on skies, with a racoon skins on? What the fk, whoes this idiot kncukles thinks sarcastically "well if you look at that! its mario!" "whos mario? and what the fk is he out there walking around in like 10 feet of snow" " DID SOMEBODY SAY MARIO?" sonic screams, then he comes runing in there with a 2nd thought "HEY TAILS ITS MARIO! COME SEE!" Tails Comes flyign in at the speed of light wide eyed " who the fk is mario!" knuckles says a lil louder "MAAARIOOO! " Sonic opens the window reaching for his hand and pulls him. WHO THE FK IS MARIOO?"" everyone turns around and looks at him for a momment" he's only the greatest person in THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD BUDDY! he can beat anybody kill anything, hand yet hes so small" The lil stranger stood there starling at knuckles with large glassey blue eyes, head slightly tilted and , mustache twitching like that of what reminded knuckles of a rat, "ok dude whats your problem" he says staring back at him .Mario sticks his hand out so fast that knuckles eyes didnt adjust to it" itsa me a mario WHOHOO!" theres something i don't like about this guy, and i usually have good instinct on people gahh that large plastic smile and rubbery looking face, theres something thats very wrong here. Insted of attempting to shake his hand he backs away from him and then bumps into someone behind him "friends?" There he was again with his lil stick like hand sticking out in gesture of friendlyness " get the fk away from me!" And with that he reliased he was surrounded by them, some of them flying, jumping in frog suits, spiting fire balls fromt here fingers, hiding in boots, holding vegetable (argg i hate carotts knuckles thinks to himself for some odd reason) just EVERYWHERE! but one thing that is the same, they all have that plastic, fat, face with that god-awful mustache of his, "FIRENDS!" they all say loudly extending there stick like hands.

"HOLY SHIT ! GET THEM AWAY FROM MEEE! GET THEM OFF ME!" Rouges eyes poped open really wide and she looked around the rooms a minute and then looked over at knuckles who appered to be fighting something in his sleep"knuckles? you ok?" She climbed offf the couch to go over and shake him and he raised up really fast and mario was stading over him shaking him with his stick hand "AHHH!" "Knuckles chill the fk out" rouge screamed back at him and thats when he seem to snap out of it. ":are you ok?" she asked him in a much calmer voice "uhh" " he just fell back staring up at the ceiling, "yea im fine...who the hell was that guy?" "huh?" She climbed up on the couch beside him "what'd he look like" she asked while turning on the TV and switching the channels around "like that!" HE pointed at the littl e fat plumber on the TV screen. Rouge busted out with laughter "you dreamed about the mario brother plumbers?" she went on laughing some more "well in the dream thee was like a 1000 of them" " Hold on a sec he's did something..." she turned the TV up a little louder and it was showing a special report on the mario brothers "the mario bothers have just found 2 yes 2 of the chaos emeralds they need to save princess peach once again" "Ohh no way, he's looking for them to?" " yea and people say he's unbeatable no one has ever won a fight agaist him" Rough paused as the news reporteer contued on "so where are you guys heading next" He's brother steped foward, which looked like him but was taller and dressed in green " We are now going to station square next its been reported and evil "enchidny" is holding 2 of them up and theres another one on his island " " o god he's going to fking steal the few iv already got" "we only need 5 more, we just got 2 from this evil hedge hog guy, but of course he was'nt nothing for mario" And then in the backgrown shadow was being pushed by on a stretcher " oh my god it's shadow" rouge said wide eyed, "you fools you have no idea what your getting yourselves into messing with thoes emeralds!" he shouted from the stretcher " your causing the distruction of humanity and----" he was cut off when they cloased the amulance door. The news reporter turned back to mario and asked" what was he talking about" o he was just hulusinating, he's delutional from the fight" Mario said with thta plastic grin he had in the dream, no nightmare and with that the news report went on to something else. "iv got an idea " rouge annouced "yea?" " we can go see shadow and see if he knows anything, he's a pretty smart guy, he knows all about thoes emeralds" " ok so what are we waiting for?"
