Alright time for chapter 3. I'm not gonna waste your time babbling, on with the story!

"Who...are you?" A Confused Emily asked.

"If you had ever played a classic Sonic game, then you would know that I'm- "

"Knuckles, Knuckles the Echidna," Matt cut him off with a grin.

"Hpm...tell me, what do you know about what made me into this monster?" Knuckles asked them, his voice getting meaner

"I guess there were more people at the movies last night than we thought," Nick said to his friends, ignoring Knuckles demand.

"I asked you once and now I'm telling you, tell me what you know about these powers!" He screamed.

"Why should we tell you any thing after talking to us that way?"Ashley snapped at him.

"Now you 4 are pissing me off!" He yelled. "I've been trying all morning to find the answer to me becoming this thing and you guys know! Tell me right this minute, or prepare to fight!" Knuckles hollered at them.

"If it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you got!" Matt said, feeling confident, he was not a person to fight someone else.

"You guys! I'm not going to fight him!" Emily yelled to her friends.

"Yeah, he looks way stronger than us. I'm not fighting him!" Nick said.

"Amy, you'll stick with me right?" Matt asked.

"Did you just call me Amy?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah that is you character name, so you'll help me take this moron down right?" He told her.

"Of corse I will...Sonic." She said as she giggled while calling her best friend Sonic. "I'm not letting this punk walk all over me! Unlike those to over there, I have a spine!" She yelled while pointing over to Cream and Tails.

"Enough of this nonsense!" Knuckles screamed. "Get ready to cry like you've never cried before!'

He started dashing head first into them. Matt, not thinking started dashing into him too. Within seconds the two had clashed heads and were sitting on the ground, waiting for their dizziness to wear off.

"Are you kidding me! That's no way to fight!" Ashley insulted Matt, as she darted at Knuckles and jumped in the air. He tried to dodge her but it was to late, she had kicked him right on the top of his head.

"Grrrrr...That's it! Time for a knuckle sandwich!" He screamed as he punched Ashley and sent her sliding on the ground, half way down the street.

"Didn't your mother ever teach you any manners?" Matt asked. Knuckles turned around and Matt was right behind him. Matt lifted up his leg, and kicked him right across the face.

"Uh, not bad, but try this!" Knuckles said as he whipped both his arms around in a 360 degree turn. To his surprise, he missed Matt. He didn't even know where Matt was.

"Up here Knuckles," Matt yelled to him. Knuckles looked up and there he saw Sonic, standing on top of a house.

"Grrr, wait until I get you..." He started saying when all of a sudden,

"Oh my God! It's Sonic the hedgehog people!" Screamed a little boy walking by with his mother. His mom just sat there staring, jaw dropped.

"Guys lets get out of here before more people see us!" Nick yelled to them.

"Good idea," Matt agreed. "We'll catch ya later Knuckle-Head." And the four friends started running off, leaving Knuckles, the little boy, and the shocked mother behind.

"Hmmm...Did they think I were gonna let them get away that easy?" Knuckles said as he started running after them. He eventually followed them into a forest like area.

"Alright guys, know one will see us here," Matt said. Knuckles was hiding behind a tree, ease dropping on what they were saying.

"Your right. Ma- I mean Sonic, I have never seen you do anything so brave, you neither Ashley." Emily told them.

"Well that stupid red thing annoyed me! Who does he think he is?" Ashley screamed. Knuckles tried his hardest to resist running out there and bashing her head in.

"Alright now that we are in private, we can tel you what we have learned so far about this whole event Emily," Nick started. "You see the rings we got last-" Nick heard a crunching branch.

"Damn," Knuckles cursed as he noticed they had heard him.

"Did you guys hear that?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, I heard something," said Emily.

"Looks like our good friend decided to come join us," Matt said as Knuckles stepped out from behind a tree.

"Haha, very funny," Knuckles said sarcastically.

"So you come for another beating?" Ashley asked as she walked up to him.

"You guys stop!" Emily screamed. "Why do you need to fight each other! Were all searching for the same thing, answers! Don't you think it would be easier if we all just helped each other!"

"Cream has a point guys, why don't you just shake hands and make up," Nick added in.

"I will if he does," Matt said.

"And I will if she does," Knuckles said pointing to Amy.

"Ugh, fine! I'm sorry Knuckles,' She said.

"Yeah me too," Matt said shaking his hand.

"And I'm sorry too," Knuckles said.

"See isn't this better? Now that were cool with each other I think we should reveal ourselves to Knuckles," Nick said.

"How do we do that?" Knuckles asked.

"Take off the ring," Matt told him. Knuckles looked down at his hand ad saw a red mood ring, tightly secured on his spike on his hand.

"Alright...1...2...3," Matt counted down, and all 5 of them took their rings off and became their original selves.

"(Gasp) Josh Perkins," The four friends screamed in harmony.

"Matt Johnson? Ashley White? Nick Sherman? And Emily Croze? You guys are the other characters!" Josh yelled.

"You seemed surprised by this," Emily said.

"Well yeah a little, I would never imagine you guys to be so...risky," Josh told them. Matt, Ashley, and Nick used to be good friends with Josh in elementary school. But once they got into 6th grade, they sort of just, spilt up from him. He was taller than Matt by about 2 inches, had black hair that was short, and shaggy at the same time. He also had extremely small dimples that made his checks go in right at the middle of them.

"Well, we can't say weren't not a little surprised too," Ashley said. "I think that no matter who we were, anyone would be shocked."

"Which is exactly why we can't let anyone know," Matt said. "If people know who we were, everyone would treat us different, the press would be after us, and not to mention the government would probably take us to area 51 to do all sorts of tests on us like we were research experiments."

"Matts right guys, we can't let anybody know who we are, we have to make a pack on it," Nick said. "Who's in?"

Matt put his hand out. "I'm in."

"Me too," Emily said as she placed her hand on top of Matt's.

"You know I'm in," Ashley said. Nick placed his hand on top of hers, Josh was the only one left.

"I guess I'm in," Josh said smiling. He placed his hands on top of all theirs.

"Then it's settled, from this day forth we will be they only people who know about this, not even our families could know," Matt said.

"Alright so Nick, were counting on you to figure out everything you can about these rings," Ashley told him.

"I'll try my best guys but I'm not promising anything," Nick said.

"Well, I guess this makes us a team!" Josh yelled.
