sonic vs. evil: Thank you for your review and sympathy. I agree with some of about what you said about Sonic Boom some of the characters designs were weird for Knuckles and Robotnik even Sonic with his blue arms. But the rest of it is okay. I said Zavok not Zeena but that's an interesting idea thought, thank you! Thank you for the suggestions in my private inbox but please take it easy I don't mind suggestions but not too much I get stressed sometimes when I get too many suggestions. I don't mind suggestions but just be gentle! Sorry about that but thank you anyways I'll see what I can do. Also I try to find who made a "Brave New World" story when I get a chance. Sorry. Thank you anyway!

The Heart's Reward

Chapter 11: The Real Stuck in the Mud

Written by: KingSnow5092

Several days later Tailsko was able to go back to school because as it turns out is that Knuckles was recording the incident in the cafeteria on his cellphone that his grandfather gave for him on his birthday he recorded it when nobody was watching him he shown it to Vector one day who was happy to see that Tailsko was in the clear and that Darkheart was guilty so he called Tailsko's parents to let them know that Tailsko wasn't suspended anymore she was overjoyed when her parents had told her a good news. Vector shown the video to Soar who was surprised by this as well that the fact that Darkheart was putting on the act in front of him so he apologized to Tailsko about the incident.

Soar also forced Darkheart to apologize to Tailsko as well and Darkheart even promised his uncle that he'll be a good boy from now on to which Soar was happy to hear about. Tailsko forgive Soar for she understood why he would take the bully's side because of his nice guy act in front of him but she will never forgive Darkheart thought but she only forgave him in front of Soar not to anger him of course. When Tailsko saw Darkheart making his promise to his uncle she could see that he had his fingers crossed behind his back she just shrugged and walked away from him before anything else can go wrong. After those several days passed it was a Saturday afternoon where Sonic, Tailsko, Knuckles, and the other kids decided to stay inside and relax at home all day doing nothing after they finished their chores first of course.

Knuckles was punching the punching bag inside of his room at his house getting some exercises it how he relax at home, Tailsko was working on the invention in her room at her house is how she relax, and Sonic was laying on the couch of the living room while eating a chili dog while he also watching a cartoon which is how he relaxes sometimes most of the time he would be in his room playing some video games while eating a snack but today he decided to watch cartoons all day long on the couch in the living room for a change. It was a nice relaxing day for everyone but little did they know is that day all of that will change when Robotnik cooks something up for them.

Sonic laughed at what had happened on the cartoon he then munched his chili dog while some chili meat dripped down onto the floor as he does so he heard someone cleared their throat he turned to find his mother Bernie with an angry look, her arms crossed, and her foot tapping on the floor. "Sonic Maurice Hedgehog! What did I tell you about eating on the couch?" Bernie asked. Sonic gulped as he looked down at the mess he just made he then looked up to his mother as he grinned sheepishly at his mistake. "Never eat on the couch?" Sonic answered. Bernie nodded. Sonic shoved the chili dog down his throat since it was small he didn't choke he then dashed into the kitchen being careful not to bump into his mom, ran back to the couch, cleaned up the mess he made, ran back into the kitchen to throw away the paper, and ran back to the couch, sat on it with his hands folded and a smile on his face to his mother.

"That's better dear." Bernie said as she smiled at her son she was about to walk away when she heard someone on the TV talk about the news flash. She turned around to see a female news reporter human holding a microphone to her mouth while she was standing behind the abandoned playground where construction workers were looking at something glowing green on the ground. "This just in the workers while trying to rebuild the playground has just discovered something glowing green in the ground of the playground it is unknown if this thing is radioactive or just a glowing treasure in the ground. We'll get back to you when we have more reports." The woman explained. Then the TV turned back to the cartoon Sonic was watching.

Meanwhile at Robotnik's fortress, Robotnik was sitting at the computer after he had watched the news about the glowing green item in the abandoned playground and hearing his emerald alarm figuring that the glowing green item might be one of the Chaos emeralds! Right now, Robotnik was scanning the area to see where the emerald was located until it spotted the area of where it is! The close up of the screen showed a green Chaos emerald lodged into the ground of the playground. The man laughed and clapped his hands in delight. "Excellent! It's one of the emeralds! Let's go boys!" Robotnik exclaimed. "Wait!" Bokkun shouted, holding out his hand to him. Robotnik and the two robots turned to the small robot in confusion. "What is it?" He asked.

"What about Sonic? Isn't he going to get the emerald first?" Bokkun answered. Robotnik looked up to the ceiling as he rubbed his chin he had forgotten about the blue hedgehog ruining his plans for several days it's been a while since that happen but then an idea came to him as he looked down grinning at the black robot. "Oh don't worry about that Bokkun, I have a plan!" Robotnik said, as he wrapped his arm around his black robot creation.

Back at Sonic's house, Sonic was taking a nap on the couch while his parents were out shopping for groceries getting the stuff they need to make dinner tonight but then a loud knock on the door interrupted the blue hedgehog's nap. The hedgehog slowly got up and yawned wondering who was at the door at the time so he got up from the couch, walked toward the door, and looked through the peephole. He saw the little black robot grinning at him. Sonic rolled his eyes and sighed. He opened the door and asked. "What do you what Bokkun?" The black robot hovered down on the porch, pulled out the TV, and placed in on the porch. "The message for you Sonic!" Bokkun said, he then turned on the TV showing Robotnik's face.

"Hello Sonic! Long time, no see! You maybe wondering why I'm sending you the message right now, well, I have two reasons. One I found one of the emeralds at the abandoned playground in the news I just heard earlier and two I have your two-tailed girlfriend in clutches again! If you ever want to see her again come meet me at the playground with the emerald you have stolen from me at school or you'll never see her again!" Robotnik explained then the TV turned off. "This message was brought you by the Eggman Empire which is not responsible for its content except for this part!" Then the TV began to sizzle about ready to blow! Sonic screamed as he slammed the door behind him and ducked behind the couch!

Bokkun screamed as well he then ran toward the large garbage can, hovered up toward the lid, opened the lid, jumped inside the can, and closed the lid above him. The TV exploded causing the front door to fall down from the hinges and on the floor. Thankfully since nobody was around nobody got hurt. Sonic looked from behind the couch to see what had happened and growled in anger. "Robotnik's gonna to pay for that!" Sonic said as he looked at the readers in anger. The hedgehog quickly grabbed the tools, fixed the door, and check the door to see if it's fix once he realized that it was all fix he opened the door, closed the door behind him, lock it, and ran down the streets to the playground where Robotnik is!

Bokkun poked his head out from the trashcan to see if the coast was clear he looked around and sighed in relief. "Whew! That was close!" Bokkun said, smiling to himself. But then he felt something lifting up the garbage can. "HEY!" Bokkun exclaimed. He looked to find that it was a garbage truck with a garbage can lifter picking up the can with Bokkun still in it! "Hey! Wait a minute! I'm not garbage! I'm a robot not a trash bot!" Bokkun protested to the driver but the driver wasn't listening he was too busy listening to his loud metal music as he drummed on his wheel. Then the lift dumped the contents including Bokkun into the bin of the truck, the lift then put the can back down, and then drove away while Bokkun poke his head out of the garbage swearing at the driver as he flail his arms in the air.

As Sonic was speeding down the street he passed by Tailsko's house who was done with her invention she had made now she was at her mirror applying some lipstick on her lips when she noticed that Sonic had sped down the streets when she saw this she put down her red lipstick, dab her mouth with a tissue, threw away the tissue, and looked out the window. She saw the blue hedgehog was speeding down the street. "Huh? Where is Sonic going in such a hurry?" She wondered. Then an awful thought came to her. "Oh no! Robotnik must've found the fourth emerald! Why else would Sonic be speeding down the street? I got to go help Sonic!" Tailsko exclaimed. She then ran out of her room, down the stairs, out the door, closed and locked the door, spun her tails, flew up into the air, and followed Sonic.

Sonic was unaware that Tailsko was following him not knowing that she was safe and sound he then sped past Knuckles' house the vixen then stopped in front of Knuckles' house she needed Knuckles' help if they need to fight. She flew up toward Knuckles' window and tap on it gently with her finger being careful not to break it. Knuckles was lifting a dumbbell when he heard the tapping noise he turned to find Tailsko tapping on his window. He put down his dumbbell onto the stand, ran toward the window, and opened it to talk to Tailsko. "Tailsko? What's up?" Knuckles asked. "Robotnik must've found the emerald somewhere Sonic is going! He must've sent Bokkun a message to Sonic that he's going to get an emerald first! We got to help him!" Tailsko explained.

"WHAT?! THE FOURTH EMERALD?" Knuckles exclaimed. "Hang on, I'll get right there!"

The red echidna then closed the window, ran out of his room, and out the door. "Grandpa! I'm going out to get the fourth emerald before Robotnik gets it!" Knuckles called out to his grandfather. "OK grandson, be careful Robotnik has many tricks up his sleeves!" Athair called out. "I will!" Knuckles called back. Then the two of them sped down the street after the blue hedgehog.

.A Few Hours Later...

Sonic skidded to the halt and stopped in front of the entrance of the abandoned playground which was a large lot with brown dirt, muddy puddles, broken tire swings, broken rainbow-colored monkey bars, a swing set with one broken swing hanging loose another on straight, a broken seesaw, a tunnel filled with dirt, worms, and mud, and a large play set with a rusty slide filled with insects on it. Some construction tools and machinery were there left the workers after they were done for the day. Sonic walked slowly and carefully around the lot looking from left and right to see where Robotnik was. "Alright, egghead where are you?" Sonic called out. "Right here, Sonic!" Robotnik called out.

Sonic turned to the direction to see Robotnik standing there with his right arm on his Egg Mobile while his left arm on his hip standing with his two legs crossed and grinning evilly with Decoe and Bocoe standing next to him with their arms crossed and with eyes. "I'm glad you could make it Sonic I knew you were coming but I've hadn't a chance to bake you a cake but I did cook up something even better!" Robotnik said. "Cut the small talk baldy mc nose hair! Where's Tailsko?" Sonic asked, as he advanced toward him. "I wouldn't step any further if I were you Sonic." Robotnik said as he wagged his finger at him. "Yeah, you're not me!" Sonic shouted but as he advanced forward he stepped into something gooey.

Sonic winced in disgust realizing that he might have stepped on animal poop he looked down to find that it wasn't animal poop but wet mud he tried to wiggle out but his feet kept on sinking in deeper and deeper. "Oh no! Quicksand!" Sonic exclaimed. "Close Sonic, it's actually mega muck!" Robotnik corrected as he raised his finger at him. "A mixture of mud and water along with some clay fortunately for you, you will only sink in feet deep but also unfortunately for you, you'll be stuck there forever!" Robotnik explained. Part of Sonic was glad that he didn't step in quicksand but part of him was horrified that he was trapped in mega muck he wished it had been quicksand that way it would've been easier to get out.

"Oh and to answer your question earlier I lied I never captured Tailsko at all that was just a ruse to lure you in and you fell for it hook, line, and sucker!" Robotnik answered. "Isn't that hook, sink, and sinker?" Decoe asked. "I like sucker better because Sonic got sucked into the mud!" Robontik barked. "Oh yeah, that's make sense!" Decoe said. "Yeah, now Sonic's a real stuck in the mud!" Bocoe said. Robotnik and Decoe looked at Bocoe in confusion. "Stuck in the mud?" Decoe asked. "Get it? Instead of stick in the mud it's stuck in the mud I replace the "I" with an "U"." Bocoe explained. The gold robot laughed and said. "Oh! I get it the stuck in the mud! That's a hot one, Bocoe!"

"ENOUGH WITH THE JOKES!" Robotnik bellowed to his two robots who cringed in fear at their creator. "Now let's get the emerald, kill Sonic, and get out of here!" Robotnik ordered his robots. The robots saluted their creator then they ran to the construction machines to take care of Sonic.

At the same time, Tailsko and Knuckles were behind the wall of the abandoned playground and they overhead everything that had happened they were horrified that what Robotnik was going to do. "Oh this is terrible! Sonic's in trouble! I can't believe Robotnik used me to lure Sonic to this place so he can kill him and get the emerald!" Tailsko said to Knuckles with a scared look on her face. Knuckles growled as he cracked his knuckles about ready to take on Robotnik and his goons. "Not to worry Tailsko, I'll pound those goons into the ground!" Knuckles assured her. But Tailsko stopped him as she blocked his way. "Wait Knuckles! I have a better idea!" Tailsko told him. "What?" He asked. Tailsko whispered the plan into Knuckles' ears after she was done the echidna grinned and nodded. "Hey! That is a better idea!" Knuckles agreed. Tailsko nodded and asked. "OK Knuckles, you know what to do right?"

"Of course I do! I distract Robotnik long enough for you to do your plan!" Knuckles answered. "Alright! Good luck!" Tailsko said as she flew back to her house. "Thanks I need it!" Knuckles called out. Then the red echidna ran into the playground to go through with the plan. Sonic was still struggling to get out of the mega muck when he heard a loud beeping noise from above he looked up to find a large magnet above him being carried by a large yellow crane machine driven by Decoe and Bocoe. Sonic yelped in terror knowing that there was no way he was going to get out of this alive he can't run since his feet are stuck and now he was about to get crush to death by Robotnik's two robots.

Robotnik walked up to the blue hedgehog with his arms behind his back while humming his Eggman Theme tune (from Sonic Adventure 2) he stopped in front of Sonic as he looked down at him while grinning. "Well Sonic, any last words before we crush you?" He asked. "Yeah, go suck an egg you Egg Head!" Sonic shouted. Robotnik giggled as he pulled out a hard-boiled egg from his pocket. "Be glad too!" Robotnik said. He peeled the shell off his egg, threw it on the ground, and began to suck it. "OK, lower it down boys!" Robotnik ordered. Decoe pushed a button while Bocoe pulled the lever to lower down the magnet while Robotnik stepped out-of-the-way. "See you in Hell, Sonic!" Robotnik said gleefully.

But then a red blur sped past Robotnik causing him to swallow his egg he choked a bit but managed to spit it back up into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and sighed in relief. Knuckles slammed into the two robots causing them to fly out of the machine and crashed on the ground with a loud thud. Knuckles turned off the machine just in time. Sonic sighed in relief he was safe for now that is. Robotnik growled in anger as he turned around to find Knuckles standing there with an angry look on his face. "Hey Egg Head!" Knuckles called out. "You again!" Robotnik shouted, pointing at him. "Yeah, it's me again!" Knuckles said. "I challenge you to the work out!" The echidna exclaimed, pointing at the fat man.

"A work out with you! Ha! No way!" Robotnik jeered. "Ha, I knew it! You're a coward I bet you're too afraid to work out because you're too fat!" Knuckles sneered. Robontik's face glowed red with anger and embarrassment. "Excuse me?" Robotnik asked. "You heard me, chubby, I bet you can't beat me in the work out challenge all because you're too fat!" The echidna sneered. The man growled as he stomped his feet in anger. "Nobody calls me fat except for my Mom Bot! I accept your challenge!" Robotnik said as he pointed his finger at the echidna. "Excellent! Let the challenge begin!" Knuckles exclaimed with his fist in the air.

Round 1: Weight Lifting

Two dumbbells were near Knuckles and Robotnik's feet. Robotnik was now dressed in a white a-shirt, extra-large size red shorts with his symbol on it, a black head band, and wore red sneakers which he usually wears during his workout when he feels like it. "Round One will have Knuckles and Robotnik lift weights to see who is the strongest!" Decoe announced while holding a microphone to his mouth. Sonic was cheering for Knuckles while holding a red flag with Knuckles' face on it as Bocoe was cheering for Robotnik holding a yellow flag with Robotnik's face on it. Robotnik stretched a bit and then he lifted a dumbbell slowly but surely he lifted it up above his head. Bocoe clapped and cheered. "Ha! Ha! Try to beat that knucklehead!" Robotnik jeered. The man then felt something lifting him up he was confused by this so he looked down to find Knuckles lifting him up by the back while holding a dumbbell with his right arm. "I just did egghead!" Knuckles jeered. Sonic cheered and clapped to his friend while Bocoe booed and hissed at the echidna.

Knuckles: 1

Robotnik: 0

Round 2: Climbing

"Next event climbing! The two rivals will climb to the very top of this machinery and come back down to the ground before the other one does!" Decoe explained. Knuckles and Robotnik stretched again and then they got ready to climb. "This one will be easy for me because I happened to be an excellent climber with my two spike gloves and I'm a good rock climber in gym!" Knuckles boasted. "Yeah about that how about we play it fair and don't cheat on this one shall we?" Robotnik suggested. Knuckles grumbled a bit but to be fair Robotnik did have a point he plays hard but plays fair. "Very well but make sure you don't cheat as well!" Knuckles told him. "I promise!" Robotnik said holding up his left hand but has his fingers crossed behind his back with his right hand.

"Ready...GO!" Decoe shouted as he blew a whistle.

Knuckles and Robotnik quickly climbed up the machinery being careful not to get hurt on the dangerous parts of course Knuckles kept his promise and didn't use his gloves but there were some parts that he had to use his gloves on. Knuckles used his gloves on the slippery parts so he doesn't fall and Robotnik was having a hard time as well but he pulled out some picks he stole from the construction area before the race he used them on the slippery parts. After a while the two of them eventually got the control area they both panted and sweated until they eventually caught their breaths and began to continue down their descend. But before Knuckles could leave he heard Robotnik's voice.

"Hey Knuckles! Your shoes are untied!" Robotnik called out. He looked down at this shoes but noticed that they were tied before he could look up he felt Robotnik's hand grabbed his waist and shoved it right into the control panel good and tight making him stuck. "HEY! I THOUGHT WE AGREE NOT TO CHEAT!" Knuckles scolded the human. "We did but I had my fingers crossed behind my back." The human answered showing the echidna his crossed fingers. The human laughed and began his descend down the crane. The red echidna's face turned even redder than usual from anger as he tried to pull his hand out of the panel. After he punched the panel good and hard his hand was free he quickly ran out of the area and climbed down from the crane but he was too late.

Knuckles jumped from the crane to find that Robotnik had won the race! "HA! HA! HA! I won this round knucklehead!" Robotnik sneered as he stuck his tongue out and pulled his eye at him. Knuckles growled in anger and punched the crane causing the human to jumped back at bit. Bocoe cheered and clapped for creator while Sonic booed and hissed at the human.

Knuckles: 1

Robotnik: 1

Round 3: Tug of War

"Round 3 it's the tug of war these two players while tug the rope toward the rival until one of them falls who will be a victor? Let's find out!" Decoe announced. Knuckles spat into his gloves and rubbed them together to get a good grip on the rope from the construction box that has items for the workers and Robotnik did the same but with more spit. Knuckles and Robotnik both grabbed the rope at both ends above a large mud puddle as they glared and growled at each other. "Ready go!" Decoe shouted. Knuckles and Robotnik pulled the rope as they backed away from each other to make one of them fall. The red echidna pulled very tightly and backed away until he was against the swing set while Robotnik backed up against his Egg Mobile.

"Give it up, Egghead! I'm going to win!" Knuckles jeered.

"No way Knucklehead! I'm going to win!" Robotnik jeered back.

"Go Knuckles go! You can do it!" Sonic cheered on the red echidna.

"Go Robotnik go! Beat that hedgehog!" Bocoe cheered on the white man. Knuckles growled at the silver robot as he turned to him. "YOU IDIOT! I'M NOT A HEDGEHOG! I'M AN ECHIDNA!" Knuckles shouted at him. Bocoe ducked behind the blue hedgehog he then peeked out from the hedgehog and muttered. "Sorry!"

"DON'T APOLOGIZE TO HIM YOU IDIOT!" Robotnik shouted to the silver robot as well. "Sorry!" Bocoe called out. After a while Knuckles and Robotnik couldn't hold on to the rope much longer as they began to relax all of sudden the two of them suddenly slipped, flew across the playground, and slammed into each other! Decoe, Sonic, and Bocoe covered their faces as they winced at the collision at had happened. "Ooh!" They all said in unison. Knuckles and Robotnik were laying down on their stomachs in the mud puddle in a daze. "Um, I guess this one is a tie?" Decoe said shrugging his shoulders at the readers. "Yay?" Sonic and Bocoe both said shrugging their shoulders as well in confusion. 'I hope that Tailsko is almost done with her plan.' Knuckles thought to himself.

Knuckles: 2

Robotnik: 2

Meanwhile at Tailsko's house, the orange vixen working on her plan her plan was to give Robotnik candy emeralds to trick them into thinking they were real in order to leave her and her friends alone. She made an invention earlier which was a candy mold maker which was a gray emerald shape and sized box made of plastic and she had four different flavors of liquid candy bags she had bought from the store when she went shopping with her parents one time. Right now, Tailsko was pouring a lime-flavored liquid candy into the mold after it was full she closed the mold, popped it into her Easy Bake Oven which she also invented but it was a lot safer than the old Easy Bake Ovens back in the day.

After a while the oven dinged she took out a mold very carefully, opened the mold, and it shown a green lime-flavored emerald candy after it had cooled down she placed it into the brown paper bag with the three other flavored emerald candy: cherry, orange, and lemon. She tied the bag good and tight after observing her work she cleaned up the mess and threw away some of the things she didn't need anymore and placed her invention back into her secret department underneath her bed. She then ran to the window, opened it, flew out, closed the window, and flew toward the playground to put her plan in action.

Final Round: Arm Wrestling

Back at the playground, Knuckles and Robotnik were sitting on the ground with her legs crossed glaring and growling at each other getting ready for the last event. "OK folks, here's it is! The last round, arm wrestling! These two rivals will arm wrestle until one of them gives up or one of them pins their arm to the ground! Who will win? Robotnik or Knuckles? Let's find out!" Decoe announced. "You're going down, Egg head!" Knuckles said. "No way! You're going down Knuckle head!" Robotnik said. Knuckles and Robotnik grabbed each other's hands and gripped them tight. "OK ready? GO!" Decoe shouted. Knuckles and Robotnik grunted as they arm wrestled each other. "Come on Knuckles! You can do it!" Sonic cheered. "Go Robotnik! Beat that echidna!" Bocoe cheered.

Knuckles and Robotnik grunted and grunted as they squeezed their hands tighter and tighter trying to pull the other arm down to the mud. Both of their faces were getting redder by a minute both of the tension they were feeling in their arms and muscles. Robotnik was almost ready to pin Knuckles' arm when Knuckles had an idea. "Hey Robotnik, your moustache is sweating!" Knuckles called out. "What? It is!" Robotnik asked as he looked down at his moustache his pride and joy. Then without warning, Knuckles slammed Robotnik's arm into the muddy ground causing the human to flop into the mud puddle again. The red echidna jumped up and cheered. "Yeah! I won!" Knuckles exclaimed. "Alright Knuckles!" Sonic cheered as he clapped his hands. Knuckles bowed and said. "Thank you, thank you."

Knuckles: 3

Robotnik: 2

KNUCKLES WINS!

"There you have it folks! Knuckles is a winner!" Decoe announced. Robotnik got up and growled at the gold robot who winced and backed away from him slowly. He then turned to the echidna and shouted. "No fair! You cheated!"

"Hey, you cheated first so it's only fair that I cheated as well." Knuckles sneered. Normally Knuckles would never cheat at anything but if it was for the life of his friends or an emerald or against the villain he'll make an exception once in a while. But then the human grabbed Knuckles by the throat, lifting him up, and slamming him into the ground next to Sonic. Bocoe ran away from the hedgehog and echidna and hid behind the crane where Decoe is after he backed away from Robotnik. "Enough of these games! It's time to end the both of you and get that emerald!" Robotnik shouted as he raised his arms in the air. The human then ran to the crane, climbed to the control area, and sat down in the chair in front of the panel. Part of the panel wasn't damaged by Knuckles which was the buttons and lever for the magnet.

Robotnik pulled the lever moving the magnet above the boys. "Now say goodnight you animals!" Robotnik exclaimed. He was about to push the button for the magnet to fall on the boys but then he heard a loud voice stopping him. "WAIT!"

Robotnik looked up and looked all over the place to see who was speaking to him. "Who say that?" He asked. "I did!" The voice from behind him answered. He turned to find Tailsko hovering near him with a brown lunch bag in her hand. "Ha! You're too late Tailsko! I'm going to push a button and make your friends into pancakes in two flavors blueberry for Sonic and strawberry for Knuckles!" Robotnik jeered. "No wait! I have the emeralds with me and you win you can have all the emeralds if you leave me and my friends alone!" Tailsko pleaded. The human looked at the vixen in confusion. "You have the emeralds with you?" He asked. Tailsko nodded, opened the bag, and shown the four emeralds in the bag.

Robotnik's eyes widened as big as dinner plates as he looked at the emeralds in awe. "I don't believe it! It's four of the emeralds!" He said in shock and awe. The human then swiped the bag away from the vixen causing her to yelp. "Hey! It's not nice to swipe things from a lady!" Tailsko shouted. "Oh pardon me, I'm terribly sorry." Robotnik mocked. He checked the emeralds to see if they were real after a while he believed that they were real. He then tied up the bag and smiled at the vixen. "Very well then your friends are free to go!" Robotnik said. Tailsko landed on part of the crane she then curtsied and said. "Thank you, Robotnik."

"Anything to please a lady." Robotnik said. Then the vixen flew toward her friends she and Knuckles who had recovered from Robotnik slamming him into the mud pulled Sonic out from the mega muck causing them fell back on the ground but not hurt. Then Robotnik ran to his Egg Mobile, threw the bag into the ship, and jumped into the ship. "Decoe! Bocoe! Let's go!" Robotnik called out. The two robots ran to the ship and jumped into it as well. "Until we meet again, Sonic!" Robotnik called out again. Then Robotnik started the ship and flew away from the playground into the horizon until he disappeared from sight. Sonic got up as did his friends as they wiped the mud from themselves.

"Tailsko? What in Mobius were you thinking giving up those emeralds to Robotnik?" Sonic asked. Tailsko and Knuckles laughed this confused the blue hedgehog. "What's so funny?" Sonic asked. The two of them explained their plan to Sonic about how Knuckles distracted Robotnik long enough for her to make fake emeralds for Robotnik to take in order to leave her and her friends alone when they were finished explaining. Sonic began to laugh as well knowing how gullible Robotnik can be sometimes. "That was a pretty cool plan there guys!" Sonic said. "Thank you!" Tailsko said while she curtsied and Knuckles bowed as well. Knuckles then ran to the real fourth emerald. He knelt down, digged up the mud, picked up the green emerald and held it in his hand.

"Here it is! The fourth emerald we got it just in time before Robotnik could!" Knuckles said. Sonic and Tailsko ran to him as they gazed at the emerald in awe. "Whoa it's green just like Sonic's eyes." Tailsko said. "It sure is!" Sonic agreed. "I better take this emerald home with me before Robotnik comes back and realizes those emeralds that Tailsko gave him were fake. See you guys!" Knuckles said. "Bye!" Sonic and Tailsko said, waving at him. Knuckles put the emerald into his pocket, he then jumped up, and glided his way home. "We better go home too before our parents worried about us!" Sonic told the vixen. Tailsko nodded. "Thanks for saving me, Tailsko." Sonic said. "You're welcome, you saved me many times I thought I return the favor." Tailsko said. The two of them then hugged each other. "Bye Tailsko, see you tomorrow." Sonic said. "Bye Sonic, see you tomorrow as well." Tailsko said. Then the two of them let go and ran back homes.

Later that night at Robotnik's fortress, Robotnik was in his secret lab (back to wearing his normal clothes and putting his workout clothes in the washer) with four candy emeralds laying across the table. "I can't believe I have four emeralds already! Now I just need three more to go and I'll finally rule this world!" Robotnik said as he laughed evilly. The human then realized that one of his robots was missing. "Hey Decoe, Bocoe, have you seen Bokkun anywhere?" Robotnik asked. The two robots shook their heads. "No doctor." Decoe said. "We haven't seen them all day." Bocoe said. Then the door to the lab suddenly opened causing the two robots and the man to jump as they looked back to find Bokkun was covered in garbage with an angry look and a wrapped sub in his hand.

"Bokkun?" Decoe and Bocoe asked. "Bokkun? Where have you been? And why are you covered with garbage?" Robotnik asked with a stern look on his face. "I don't want to talk about it! It's too embarrassing!" Bokkun shouted but then covered his mouth realizing who he was yelling at. "Sorry. I got you dinner!" Bokkun said, holding out a wrapped up sub to the human. Robotnik grimaced and said. "Wash your hands first Bokkun!" Bokkun blushed and said. "Sorry again."

Bokkun ran to the robot cleaning chamber where he got cleaned up quickly once he looked shiny and new he ran back to the human and handed him a sub. "How's that?" He asked. "Much better!" Robotnik said, he then took a sub, unwrapped it, and it revealed to be a foot grain wheat sub with lettuce, tomato, ham, cheese, pickles, and black olives. Robotnik picked up the sub and devoured it quickly causing the three robots to be surprised by this. "Whoa! He inhaled it!" Decoe exclaimed, pointing at the doctor. "No wonder he's so fat!" Bocoe whispered to Decoe. "What was that?" Robotnik asked angrily. "No wonder you're all that!" Bocoe lied. Robotnik smiled and said. "Oh thank you!" Bocoe wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead and sighed in relief.

Bokkun looked at the table where the emeralds were. "Oh wow! Are those the Chaos emeralds?" He asked. "They sure are!" The man answered gesturing the emeralds to the little black robot. Then the robot jumped onto the table and looked at the emeralds with awe. He then smelled something from the emeralds he then began to lick the emeralds like lollipops! "What?" Robotnik exclaimed. The man ran to the robot, grabbed him, and lifted him up to his face. "What you do think you're doing, Bokkun?" Robotnik growled. "I'm sorry, doctor, those emeralds smell and taste like candy!" Bokkun apologized with tears in his eyes. "Impossible! Those emeralds are jewels not candy! Here, I'll prove it to you!" Robotnik said, dropping the robot on the floor.

He picked up the red emerald and licked it after that Robotnik was shocked to find that Bokkun was actually right the emerald did taste like candy! He licked three more emeralds to find out that they indeed taste like candy he even bit into one to find out that...THEY WERE CANDY! Robotnik spat out the candy emerald piece and growled in anger. As he grabbed the emeralds and threw them against the wall causing them to smash into pieces. Bokkun quickly ran to them and began to gobble them up. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THAT FOX OUTFOXED ME!" Robotnik bellowed. He then fell down on the ground, pounded his fist into the ground, flails his legs into the air, and sobbed like a five-year old. "It's not fair! It's not fair!" Robotnik ranted like a baby.

Decoe and Bocoe both looked at each other. "Maybe we should leave Robotnik alone for a while?" Decoe suggested. "Yeah, that's maybe a good idea." Bocoe agreed. Then the two robots ran out of the room away from the doctor let them get out his anger as Bokkun grabbed whatever left of the candy and ran out of the room as well to leave Robotnik alone. He quickly slammed the door behind and hid under the couch to eat the rest of the candy.

A/N: The End of Chapter 11. Well looks like Sonic, Tailsko, and Knuckles wins again and Robotnik is having a temper tantrum I love it when a villain does that it looks so silly! I like when Robotnik is the harmless villain in some games I also like him as a serious villain as well. In this story he's a mixture of both silly and serious depending on what's going on that is. But I like him being a silly villain better he's more funny like that. Knuckles and Robotnik competing with each other is my favorite part it's funny to see Robotnik trying to compete with Knuckles. A lighthearted chapter for a change! Also Bokkun being taken by the garbage truck is funny as well!

Anyways, in the next chapter: Christmas is rolling around the corner and Amy is spending a lot of money to get Sonic something for Christmas this makes Tailsko jealous because she doesn't have enough money to buy something for Sonic for Christmas. But then Robotnik tricks Tailsko by giving her a credit card for her to buy things without spending money unaware that Robotnik's plan is to make her spend so much on her credit card that she maxed it out and makes her pay back the money by making her his slave to make machines for him until she pays off his debt! How will this all end? Stay tuned and find out! The next chapter will be a late Christmas chapter it's late but better late than never!

Fun Fact #1: The news reporter on the TV is the same reporter from the Sonic X series from the news program while Sonic and his friends were on Earth.

Fun Fact #2: Mega Muck is the reference to the nightmare scene from "Sonic's Nightmare" episode from SATAM Sonic where he heard Sally tells him where he was when the brains were handing out he tries to get to Sally but gets stuck in the mud to which he calls "Mega Muck".

Fun Fact #3: The sub that Bokkun gave Robotnik is the reference to the scene from Sonic Unleashed game where Orbot gave Robotnik a sub for dinner which Robotnik ate very quickly and the ending is reference to the scene from the episode named "Full Tilt Tails" from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog where Robotnik finds out that the beans he was given were chili beans! Funny scene I say!
