The Best Security

Disclaimer: All Sonic character belong to Sega, and all Godzilla monsters belong to Toho Co., Ltd. I do not own either of them. This little drabble/one-shot has nothing to do with any of my previous Sonic the Hedgehog fanfictions that you might've probably read so far. It's completely separate. With that said, enjoy this cute, little one-shot!

"So let me get this straight...you've been keeping this new security system for months now, is that right?" Sonic reiterated calmly in understanding with a quizzical look while scratching his head with his finger on his face as he, Tails, and Knuckles all walked through Mushroom Hill towards the Master Emerald shrine.

"Yep, and it's the best one that I've ever gotten in my whole life!" Knuckles exclaimed brightly in amusement with a proud smile and with a nod as he stared at Sonic while walking beside Tails.

"Really? Just what kind of new security system do you have?" Sonic asked calmly yet curiously in confusion and in disbelief with a skeptical look on his face while shrugging a bit as he stared back at Knuckles.

"Heheheh! Oh, just you wait, Sonic. It'll be great," Knuckles replied calmly in amusement with a snicker and with a playful grin as he stared back at Sonic.

"Hmm...You know, Knuckles, if what you're saying is true, then does this mean that you're willing to hang out with us more since this new security system is very helpful to you?" Tails asked calmly in curiosity with an intrigued look on his face while having his fingers under his chin as he stared at Knuckles.

"Duh! Of course, I am! The only reason I was so uptight all the time was because I was constantly worrying about the Master Emerald getting stolen and having Angel Island crashing into the ocean because of that! But with the new security system that I have, I could afford to relax and take my mind off of my job for a while. I could take breaks, vacations, or go out with you guys whenever I want to now that I don't have the Master Emerald or my island to worry about. It's all smooth sailing from here on out," Knuckles answered calmly yet brightly in amusement with a huge, relaxed smile and with raised eyebrows while shrugging a bit before putting his hands behind his head as he stared at Tails for a bit before looking ahead of himself.

"I...W-Wow...It's that good, huh?" Sonic commented calmly in surprise with a little grin and with a raised eyebrow while having a hand out as he stared at Knuckles while glancing at Tails.

"Uh huh! Real good!" Knuckles answered confidently in amusement with a proud smile and with closed eyes while nodding a bit as he kept walking ahead with his hands behind his head.

Sonic and Tails looked at each other and grinned a lot in amusement as they were pleasantly surprised and felt rather happy for Knuckles getting better security for his emerald and his island. Tails looked back at Knuckles as he replied calmly yet brightly in amusement with a huge smile, "Well, that's great, Knuckles! That's really good news! It certainly will be great having you hanging out with us some more! I think that we're going to have lots of fun times together hanging out as friends! We don't get to do that very often, do we?".

"Nope. But this sure is a great start to that and a welcoming one as well," Knuckles replied calmly yet brightly in amusement with a huge smile and with eager eyes as he opened them and stared at the tranquil forest area of Mushroom Hill.

"Boy, I'll say. It certainly is a nice change of pace compared to your usual uptight, serious way of life. You know...I think that I can get used to this," Sonic replied calmly yet brightly in amusement with a huge grin and with a casual shrug as he stared at Knuckles.

"Heh! You and me both, Sonic! Man, I tell you. You can't get better security than this. I can finally take my naps in the hot sun while being under the cool shade and take refuge in them whenever it rains. Those little inconveniences have gone away thanks to the new security I have," Knuckles replied calmly yet brightly in amusement with a huge, enthusiastic smile and with twinkling eyes while having a fist up as he looked at Sonic for a moment before staring at the clear, blue sky.

Sonic and Tails looked at each other yet again while having amused grins on their faces as they both imagined Knuckles having some sort of tent or canopy overlaying his shrine while also acting like an elaborate trap.

"What's even great is that she can blow away any thieves with her humongous wings or screech loudly at them to terrify them out of their wits so that they can't possibly steal the Master Emerald. Heh. As if they could possibly do that at all since she lays on top of it, guarding it practically 24/7," Knuckles continued calmly yet brightly in amusement with a relaxed smile and with half-lidded eyes while he kept staring at the clear, blue sky.

Sonic and Tails both raised a curious eyebrow at those puzzling details as they now imagined the elaborate trap to have some big, rustic fans and instruments that were made in the same materials that the other previous traps on the island were made. Since those traps were made and set by Knuckles' ancestors, they could easily envision them as very tribal and ancient in nature. It may be a bit of a stretch but not too out of place there. So, Sonic and Tails simply shrugged at that while looking a bit sheepish.

However, these next two details may be a bit off-kilter than what they were imaging in their heads.

"But even if those thieves somehow manage to steal the emerald, there is no way they will escape from her. She'll fly after them and corner them in a matter of seconds! Whoosh! Just like that!" Knuckles continued calmly yet brightly in amusement with a mischievous smile and with playful eyes while gesturing his right arm in a flying motion for emphasis as he kept staring at the clear, blue sky.

"A-Ah...H-Huh?" Sonic and Tails muttered calmly yet quietly in confusion while briefly being startled a bit after hearing that strange fact and stared at each other with bewildered looks on their faces.

Now, with this fact, their imaginations had envisioned the elaborate trap again with even more added-on material. This time, they thought of a hang-glider/bi-plane-like machine attached to the canopy, the big fans, and the instruments, making it one, convoluted, security system. They wondered if it was truly as fast as Knuckles claims it to be due to how large, bulky, and rather cluttered the contraption is. But what had finally made them question their imaginary trap is what Knuckles had said next.

"Of course, she may not live forever due to how old she is and may have to be reborn again through her children. But it's okay since she could protect the emerald and the island just as effectively in that younger form too. All she could do is spit silk out of her mouth, and she'll trap any intruders or thieves in their place. Especially thieves like Dr. Eggman who uses his hovercraft to fly. She'll simply spit silk at him, and he'll be trapped within that sticky web for a long time...(Sigh)...Talk about sweet, sweet karma," Knuckles finished calmly yet brightly in amusement with a smug smile and with half-lidded eyes while shrugging nonchalantly and sighing a little as he looked back at the path ahead of himself.

WAIT! WHAT?! Sonic and Tails thought simultaneously in surprise and in confusion with flabbergasted looks on their faces after hearing those strangest facts of all. They were now completely lost on what Knuckles was describing here. The elaborate if not convoluted security system was already out there by how Knuckles had described it so far, but this just baffles them to no end. Just what did Knuckles mean when he said that the machine or "she" in this case had to be "reborn again through her children"? They can get that the machine will "die" by running out of power or breaking down eventually, and that Knuckles might have to repair it or set it up again. But why phrase it like that? Not only that, but what did he mean by "spit silk"? You'd think that he's talking about a...a...

"Umm...Knuckles?" Sonic asked calmly yet awkwardly in confusion with a lost expression on his face as he slowly looked at Knuckles along with Tails.

"Yeah?" Knuckles asked calmly yet curiously in amusement with a huge smile and with raised eyebrows as he looked at Sonic and stared at him while he, him, and Tails finally exited Mushroom Hill and are currently walking towards the Master Emerald shrine. However, Sonic and Tails were busy staring at Knuckles to even notice the new security system in the distance.

"Just what is your new security system exactly?" Sonic asked calmly yet curiously in confusion with a sheepish look on his face while scratching his head with his finger again as he stared back at Knuckles.

"Yeah. What you've described to us is so confusing that even a genius such as I is having trouble following its intricate design. Does this new security system...even exist? It sounds too far-fetched to even be real," Tails added calmly yet curiously in confusion with a sheepish look on his face while his ears flattened as he stared at Knuckles.

"What are you talking about? Of course, it exists! That's why I'm taking you guys to her right now!" Knuckles replied calmly yet brightly in amusement with a little smile and with raised eyebrows while shrugging casually again as he stared back at Sonic and Tails.

"Look, Knuckles, we get it. If you wanted to hang out with us, you could've said so at the start. We would understand. You didn't have to lie to us that you have a brand-new security system that clearly doesn't exi-" Sonic replied calmly yet gently in understanding with a sheepish frown and with lowered eyelids while shrugging casually again as he stared back at Knuckles.

"Oh! Hey! Would you look at that?! We're already here! Hey, Mothra!" Knuckles exclaimed cheerfully in amusement with a huge grin and with enthusiastic eyes as he quickly looked back ahead of himself and stared at the Master Emerald shrine while holding Sonic and Tails with one arm and waving a hand at Mothra.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Mothra screeched happily as she greeted Knuckles back while she flapped her wings once after seeing him and his friends. Sonic and Tails could see that the new security system that Knuckles was talking about just so happens to be a humongous moth monster who is currently resting on top of the Master Emerald and its shrine. Knuckles simply crossed his arms after he stopped holding Sonic and Tails and just smiled proudly in amusement after seeing Mothra greet him in a friendly way as usual.

Sonic and Tails, however, looked flabbergasted as their jaws had completely dropped and as their eyes were as wide as saucers. Within a few seconds after seeing Mothra, Tails fainted as he fell backwards towards the ground. Sonic kept staring at Mothra in shock before slowly looking at Knuckles in confusion.

Knuckles merely looked back at Sonic and smiled gently at him while shrugging casually again as he simply asked, "What?".

THE END

Epilogue

("Awww, who's a good girl? Yeah, that's right. You're a good girl," Knuckles cooed fondly in amusement with a huge, warm smile and with closed eyes while hugging and petting Mothra's right cheek as he leant completely onto it.

KIIIIOOOOO!

"Yeah, I know. My friends are so rude. They ran away and left the island almost quickly after they saw you. Well, to be more precise, Sonic carried Tails while he ran away since he's unconscious and all, but still, that wasn't very nice now, was it?" Knuckles agreed calmly yet gently in amusement with a fond smile and with upward eyebrows while pulled away from Mothra's soft, fuzzy head to look at her before snuggling completely into it again.

KIIIOOOOOOOOOO!

"No, it wasn't. But that's okay. I'll punch Sonic in the face for you if he ever comes back here. Okay?" Knuckles consoled calmly yet gently in amusement with a huge smile and with closed eyes while he snuggled his face and head into Mothra's as he kept hugging her right cheek.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEE!

"Oh, don't worry, Mothra. I won't punch him that hard...well...not as hard that he will have to be sent into a hospital, but still hard enough that it'll teach him a good lesson in manners," Knuckles reassured calmly yet gently in amusement with a warm yet mischievous grin and with closed eyes while snuggling his body, head, and face against Mothra's soft, fuzzy head.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE! KIIIIIOOOOOOOO!

"Aww, I love you too, Mothra. You're a good girl. Yes, you're good girl. That's right. Oh, oh, there, there, Mothra. I'm here. Yes, I'm here, Mothra. I'm right here beside you," Knuckles cooed and reassured fondly in amusement with a huge, warm smile and with closed eyes while snuggling and petting Mothra's right cheek some more even after sensing some light distress from her.

KIIIIOOOOO!

"Mm...Yeah, you're so sweet. You're the best security system that I could ever have. You're both a good friend and a good guardian," Knuckles cooed fondly in amusement with a huge, warm smile and with closed eyes while he kept snuggling and petting Mothra's right cheek.

SCREEEEEEEE!

"Yes, you're the best, Mothra. The best," Knuckles cooed gently in fondness with a huge, warm smile and with closed eyes as he pulled away from Mothra's right cheek and kept petting it tenderly for a long, long time.)

Okay, now, this is truly the end of this one-shot! Just wanted to add that extra scene in the end because I think that it's cute. Also, Knuckles would totally be doting towards Mothra and treat her as his pet if she did exist in the Sonic universe. But anyways, Happy April Fools everyone!
