Knuckles vs. Shadow
I got this idea while watching Shadow and thinking about how Knuckles makes up for his lack of speed with strength. Start the fic.

Angel Island, an island truly born in the heavens. On this island is a giant emerald, said to be able to control the seven chaos emeralds. And this emerald has a guardian…a guardian in need of a vacation.
"Guarding this emerald is my life but even I need to leave the island once in a while. Sigh." Said Knuckles.
A transparent female echidna appeared out of the giant emerald Knuckles was leaning on.
"Well I don't see why you can't go on a vacation for a while." Said the girl.
"Oh. It's you Tikal. Well I can't go and leave the Master Emerald unguarded." Said Knuckles.
"Well I've watched it for you before…why can't I do it now?" asked Tikal.
"After the incident with that Nack thief? You want to know why?" asked Knuckles.
"Well…yeah!" said Tikal.
"I'll show you why!" said Knuckles.
He put his hand right through her and brought it out.
"That's why!" said Knuckles.
"Yeah…I guess I couldn't really prevent someone from taking it, so why not have someone watch it for you while you're gone?" asked Tikal.
"Like who?" asked Knuckles.
"How about Sonic?"
"You actually think I can get him to stay in one spot long enough?" asked Knuckles.
"Touché…how about tails?"
"The kid's alright but not exactly guardian material…not that I have anything against him." Said Knuckles.
A sheepish grin crossed Tikal's face "Then how about your 'girlfriend' Rouge?"
Knuckles blushed. "SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
Tikal suppressed a giggle.
"Besides…I think she'd rather steal it than guard it." Said Knuckles.
"Well then what about Big and Froggy?"
"Too stupid."
"The Choatix?"
"Too…them."
"Amy?"
"You actually think she'd stop chasing after Sonic for two seconds to guard this thing?"
"See your point…hm…I'm running out of people you know. What about Shadow?"
"Like he'd actually give a damn about this emerald." Said Knuckles.
"Actually Knuckles he reminds me a lot of you before you met Sonic and the others." Said Tikal.
"Wanna run that by me again?" asked Knuckles.
"Well before you met Sonic and the others you were quite the loner yourself." Said Tikal.
"And exactly how did you find this out? If I recall I met you after a couple of years of meeting Sonic." Said Knuckles.
"The Master Emerald knows all and tells all. Which is also how I found out about Shadow." Said Tikal.
It was at this moment that Knuckles saw something racing towards him.
"Who…?" asked Knuckles.
It was then that this something stopped right in front of him.
"Well, well, well. Speak of the devil." Said Knuckles.
In front of the guardian was Shadow the Hedgehog.
"Fork over the giant rock and I won't hurt you." Said Shadow.
But little did anyone know that there was a microchip on Shadow's neck.
"Shadow, there's one thing you should know about this so called 'rock'." Said Knuckles.
"Really? Now what would that be?" asked Shadow.
"If you want this emerald…"
Knuckles now had his gloves up ready to fight.
"You're going to have to go through me first!"
CLIFFHANGER! There's only one way I'll update. And that's if I get some reviews.
