A New Sonic

by MAAFanfic

Sonic is running from the law and he gets rid of two thing that make him who he is, his gloves and shoes. He then meets a family who are willing to help him through this difficult time. Based on the original design of Sonic The Hedgehog 2020. This version of Sonic will be older and more mature than his video game persona. (DISCONTINUED)

9. Talking About Knuckles

"Next up is Knuckles. He's 16 years and a red echidna. In fact, he's the last of his kind." said Sonic. "The last of his kind? That's terrible. Does that bother him in any way?" said Chris. "Nope, he's totally fine with it." said Sonic. "Really?" asked Maria. "Yep. It doesn't bother him one bit." said Sonic. "Interesting" said Chuck. "Why is he called Knuckles? Does he not have another name?" asked Elise. "Similar to Tails, Knuckles name comes from his…knuckles." said Sonic. "What's wrong with his knuckles?" asked Chris. "Nothing's wrong with them. He wears gloves that have spikes on the front. He uses them to climb up walls and smash boulders. The dude is super strong. Way stronger than I'll ever be." said Sonic.

"What's his personality like?" asked Maria. "He's good-hearted, pretty serious, super determined, and all-around a cool guy. But some of his qualities are not as great." said Sonic. "What do you mean?" asked Chuck. "He's an introvert." said Sonic. "Relatable." said Chris and Maria. "Why is he an introvert?" asked Elise. "You see Knuckles has to guard a giant gem known as the Master Emerald. It's a gem that controls the Chaos Emeralds." said Sonic. "What the heck is a Chaos Emerald?" asked Chris. "There are 7 of them and when they're all together, you can do some powerful things with them, but only for a limited amount of time." said Sonic. "Like what?" asked Chris. "You can warp space and time, turn thoughts into power, give energy to all living things, and a lot of other cool stuff too." said Sonic. "Sounds pretty neat." said Chris. "Anyway, back to Knuckles, the clan he descended from had to guard the Master Emerald, in order to keep Angel Island afloat." said Sonic. "Afloat?" asked Maria. "Yeah, it floats in the air." said Sonic. For the second time today, the family was in shock and Chris said, "WHAT TYPE OF WORLD DO YOU LIVE IN?!" "A very strange one." said Sonic. "So, Knuckles has to watch over this Master Emerald 24/7?" asked Maria. "Yep." said Sonic. "That sounds so boring and lonely. Does he have anything to keep him entertained, like a phone, game system, or literally anything?" asked Chris. "Nope." said Sonic. "That sucks." said Maria.

"What other qualities does he have?" asked Chuck. "He's very gullible. He's always being tricked by Robotnik, but he is starting to see through his lies." said Sonic. "That's good." said Chris. "He also has a bit of an attitude problem. It's nothing serious, but I would not want to get on his bad side." said Sonic. "Okay." said Chuck. "He hates the question "Do you know the way?"." said Sonic. "Why?" asked Elise. "Someone on Mobius made a video with a crude image of Knuckles saying things in some language called Ugandan and the most used quote is "Do you know the way?". He's been mocked ever since." said Sonic. "Why would someone do that?" asked Elise. "I don't know. I guess someone thought it was funny." said Sonic. "Well that's not very nice." said Elise. "I forgot to mention he can glide in the air." said Sonic. The family's eyes widened and Chris said, "WHY DO HIDE THESE DETAILS FROM US?!" "I had to talk about some other things, before we get to the cool stuff." said Sonic. "He can fly around in the air?" asked Maria. "Yeah, he uses his dreadlocks to glide long distances." said Sonic. "Does everyone in your world have a special ability?" asked Chuck. "Not everyone, but decent amount of us do." said Sonic.
