-It's a Knux life!-

By Zuki the Chao

Well, in this chapter we'll meet Tikal, Chaos Zero and Tails. And we'll also find out where Shadow got to… -Sniggers- Because, you see, every good Sonic "ficcy" has Shadow in it!1! How did he survive ARK? I don't know, but read on!

-Chapter Two-

-Knuckles and co. find themselves in a forest. There are lots of mushrooms everywhere.-

Knux: Hey! It's Mushroom Hills!

Sonic: Mmm! Mushrooms!

Sonic Jr.: -Suck Suck-

Knux: -Sigh- Well... come on you guys! This level MUST have an Emerald! Why would we be here if there wasn't one, after all? Anyway, let's start looking.

Sonic: Why?

Knux: Don't even THINK about starting that again!

Sonic: ...okay. -Looks ahead- Hey! A little shrine!

Knux: This should do something cool! -Starts playing Mystic Melody on a flute he just happened to have- ...It's not working.

Sonic: ...Sonic wind!

Knux: Eeew! Sonic!

Sonic: -Grumpy glare- I had beans for dinner, Is that a crime?

-Suddenly the shrine glows and an Orange Echidna appears-

Tikal: Huh? Wha? Whoa... -Her eyes get those really stupid anime hearts that makes Sailor Moon look mature- ...Sonniku!

-Long Pause-

Sonic: Huh?

Knux: What the? ...Tikal!

Tikal: Sonniku!

Sonic: Who is that, Knuckles?

Knux: That's Tikal, an Echidna from an ancient tribe… -Pauses, then stares at Sonic- Hang on, Sonic, you know her already!

Tikal: Oh Sonic! I never knew how lost I was till I saw you!

Knux: Tikal, Sonic is lost in his own tiny mind, What the hell are you

thinking? What happened to your brain? Weren't you smart last time I saw you?

Tikal: I love you sonic! Will you marry me?

Tails: Back off! He's mine!

Knux: Where the hell did you come from Tails!

Tails: Plothole. Get over it ...Hi sonic!

Tikal: Mine!

Tails: Mine!

Tikal: Mine!

Tails: Mine!

Knux: Idiots. -Sigh-


Meanwhile... at Eggman's ship. Or base. Or Cow.

-Shadow is stuck on a chair-

Shadow: Why oh why did Heavy leave the glue bottle here! How will I get off this? ...I know! Maria! Maria...

-Maria appears-

Maria: -Maria is visible through thick mist that is wafting around her. Smoke machines are fun!-

...Look you little idiot. If you need me to get your butt off a glue-covered chair then you're so not cool! -Maria stomps off-

Shadow: Noo! Come back Maria! Someone! Anyone!


Meanwhile... With Rouge and Metallix. (As opposed to Meanwhile… with Omochao and Big)

-The two are in a lush rainforest-

Rouge: Hey, I remember this place! It's Botanic Base! It's kinda still on Angel Island! I was sent here once on a mission! (Exclamation Mark!)

Metallix: ...Bweep? -Stares at Rouge-

Rouge: Oh! With Eggman, with Eggman! Of course! I wouldn't be working for anyone else! I'm not suspicious at all!

Metallix: -Looks suspicious whilst still being able to glare-

Rouge: Uhh… I'm sure that there's an emerald nearby! Woman's intuition!

Metallix: ...

-They come up to a lake-

Rouge: That shade of blue looks familiar...

-Part of the Lake takes shape of the Chaos emerald beast thing, Chaos Zero-

Chaos Zero: Hi Rouge! -Waves-

Rouge: Hello Chaos.

Chaos: Can we go on a date now Rouge?

Rouge: Sure.

Chaos: Really!

Rouge: No.

Chaos: Aw... So what are you two doing?

Metallix: -Stares at Chaos-

Rouge: We're looking for a piece of the Master Emerald.

Chaos: Well, I might be able to help you!

Rouge: ...Sure.

Metallix: -Stands there and glares. I love writing descriptions.-

Chaos: Well, let's go shall we?

Rouge: Okay.

Chaos: And then maybe a date?

Rouge: No.

Chaos: Damn!

Rouge: By the way, Chaos, why are you acting OC and talking?

Chaos: Because I'm much cooler that way. Besides, if we were being IC, you wouldn't know who I was, anyway.

Rouge: Give a fan fan-fiction and they completely butcher a fandom…


Well, that's the second! And to all of you, don't worry, Amy is coming soon! And don't worry about Tikal, she'll come to her senses and be cool again, I promise! My promises are worth five squirrels!

To answer my single reviewer's question (YAYS!), I'm not particularly a fan of any particular Knuckles coupling, but Knux/Rouge seems to be the most canon? They're kinda cool together, anyways. I'm glad this little file of bytes and barks amused you somehow, anyways.

As always, please R & R!

Bei Bei!

Zuki.
