Chapter 2: Sonic and Tails meets Knuckles
A couple of months had passed and Sonic and Tails had become fast friends, Sonic would even say they were as close as brothers and Tails would agree. As Sonic had once said, Tails did end up liking the island life and accepted Sonic's offer, so eventually he set up a new workshop and even got a little hut to stay in close by after they found his plane .
He also managed to transfer a few of his belongings, from his old workshop to his new one, were he was able to complete the upgrade on his plane to make it work properly. Soon After a little training from Sonic and some help from his new inventions, he was even able to help Sonic in defeating Eggman, whenever he attacked.
Tails sighed happily as he tinkered away at one of his new inventions thinking of his new life with Sonic, when he was suddenly startled at the sound of skidding feet. He yelped as Sonic almost crashed into his table, breathing a sigh of relief he frowned at the hedgehog, "Sonic, ya gotta warn me if you're going come running in like that, I could break something." Tails sighed.
Sonic chuckled sheepishly and rubbed his head, "sorry bud, my bad I'll try and remember next time, but this was urgent."
Tails raised his eyes curiously anxious for another adventure, "what's happened is Eggman at it again."
"Yeah, looks like it. I saw him roaming the jungle, heard him muttering something about a power source in the mountains. So, ya up for destroying another one of eggheads plans?" Sonic asked with a mischievous grin as he cracked his knuckles.
"Always, that last one was so amazing, that I've waiting anxiously for another one," Tails said pumping his fist in the air.
"Remember, these adventures can be dangerous so just stay close by me, ok?" Sonic said reminding the fox.
"Aww, come on I feel like I could take on some of Eggheads robots alone, after the training you gave me." Tails adjusting his goggles and they started making their way outside.
"Well, you can try but just don't take on more than you can handle and always make sure I'm there," Sonic shrugged, and he jumped onto the Tornado. "Come on bud, let's get going!"
Tails sighed and used his twin tails to fly himself up onto the cockpit and he quickly started up the plane. After flying for a while they arrived at the middle of the island that was close to the mountain, "Okay we're almost there, I'll have to land now as I won't be able to get my plane close to the mountain!" The fox called over to the hedgehog who was holding onto the wings.
"There's plenty of space down there!" Sonic replied pointing down to the wide-open space down below which was ahead of them, Tails nodded and made a swift and smooth landing. Sonic jumped off the wing and took a quick race around the around the area. "Hm, no egghead around," Sonic muttered.
Tails chuckled at the hedgehog as he flew down and landed beside him, he pat his shoulder and Sonic saw him pointing upwards, "try up there."
"Hm," Sonic muttered following where his friend was pointing and sure enough the doctor himself was flying towards the mountain in his egg mobile. Sonic grinned at Tails "see that's why its always helpful to have a sidekick around."
Tails shook his head, "What's our plan?"
Sonic watched the doctor for a minute "let's follow him for a bit to see why he's here and whatever he's after, we get to it before him."
Tails nodded with a shrug, "worked before, Eggman can't beat us."
"Ya got that right Tails, let's get moving." Sonic said with a thumb up and they chased after the evil scientist.
….
Meanwhile in a dark gloomy cave in the mountain side, was a red male echidna known as Knuckles, he had spent most of his life here guarding something called a power crystal which was located in the very back of his cave, Knuckles was punching away at some rocks to keep up with his fitness when he paused at some strange noise that coming from the outside.
"Whew, what a workout," he muttered wiping sweat off his forehead, "hm what's that strange noise?" He wondered outloud and walked out his cave which had a little edge.
"Whoa pretty," He said as he saw what he thought was a large bird landing close by, "huh, I really shouldn't leave this cave, but I kinda wanna see what that is," Knuckles said rubbing his head.
"Ahhhhh the guardian, I almost thought there wasn't going to be one!" Came an unfamiliar voice to the echidna.
Knuckles looked around confused at not seeing anyone "huh?"
"Up here, Knucklehead!"
Knuckles frowned as he looked up and he saw a weird shaped man in a flying machine, "who are you?!"
"My name is Doctor Eggman and I would like a tour of your lovely cave if that's alright?" The doctor chuckled slightly having heard how gullible the echidna could be.
Knuckles grinned "sure I can give you a tour it's finally nice to talk to someone," Knuckles said showing the doctor around.
"My what is that lovely thing?" Eggman asked in awe as something was shining at the back of the cave.
"Well, that's the power crystal I guard it." Knuckles said proudly.
"Is that so, hehe," Eggman chuckled and suddenly hit Knuckles on the head knocking him out.
"Ow!" Knuckles yelped and fell out cold.
"At last, I'll finally be able to take over the world with this thing," Eggman grinned.
"Hey egghead long time no see!" Sonic shouted as they landed the plane close to the cave.
"Oh great the blue menace, you won't destroy my plans this time!" Eggman yelled back.
"Oh, yeah we'll see about that, "Sonic grinned and tried to jump on Eggman's egg mobile they struggled around a bit "whoa!" Sonic yelped.
Eggman shocked the blue hedgehog who yelped and fell to the ground, "ahh!"
The doctor laughed evilly "you won't win this time you blue pest!" He said and flew away.
"We'll get you Egghead!" Sonic yelled back.
"Hey Sonic look," Tails said as he pointed to an out cold echidna.
"He looks in bad shape, let's get him up," Sonic sitting the echidna up against a pile of rocks.
"mmm ow my head," said the echidna his eyes slowly opened and he saw Sonic and Tails before him, "hey who are you?!" He yelled as he used the rocks to help himself stand up.
"Aw no the crystal is gone did you two take it?!" He growled.
"Wait no we didn't take it Eggman did," Sonic said frantically.
"Oh, really who are you guys?" Knuckles asked.
"I'm Sonic and this is Tails," Sonic said introducing themselves.
"Oh it's nice to meet you I'm Knuckles." Knuckles replied back.
"It's nice to meet you Knuckles we can help you get that crystal back," Sonic said.
"That would be great I'm the one guards it." Knuckles replied proudly.
"Well, we better get it before Eggman does something with it," Tails explained.
