Part B1: Back to the Jungle!

Knuckles found a few shards and he managed to get a few things and then he came out of the cave with quite a few scratches and then the bats stopped chasing him as there was a light outside and then Bark came out of the cave with some bats on his gloves.

''Team Knuckles for the win!'' Bark shouted, as he finally beat down the last bat and Knuckles basically didn't want to be in a team with the crazy bear, who was just more focused on finding things.

''Thanks, but I'm doing this alone.'' Knuckles replied, who was happy that help came, but he had to do it himself now as Bark didn't have the skills that the echidna had like detecting some emerald shards and they just wanted to know what was up next.

''So, if you need me to do some random stuff, call me!'' Bark told the echidna in a way that it showed that the polar bear had not a lot to do after being in a fighting tournament and then he basically started his journey back to the colder place.

Knuckles and Bark were actually ready to start their big challenge, with Knuckles was ready to find the next emerald shards and Bark was ready to find a good and fitting purpose and they would be apart for a long time before that the two of them were back together to do something.

About a few hours later, Knuckles found the next area where emerald shards would be and he managed to find a place where he could do some sleeping, but it wasn't really safe as the insects were just rustling around the place and the jungle was just starting to get thicker as he was ready to find those things.

''It looks like there's three shards in this place and there's also a lot of insects here.'' Knuckles said to himself and he was ready to find the shards in the thick and dank jungle with some bushes that were basically a hive of certain animals like insects and the robots were really good at hiding themself.

The robots were actually here for the same reason that the treasure-hunting, gliding echidna was in this hard to see jungle, getting some emerald shards and they had abilities that made the dank, thick and damp jungle their playground like being able to stay on branches, but Knuckles was now on the lookout.

Knuckles was starting to walk quickly to a place that was just outside of the jungle and then he stopped there because the place was actually relatively safe compared to the rest of the rainforest and then he basically punched the ground to mark the place where he started his hunts with and then he dug up a unique plant from the ground and then he put it into the hole.

''TARGET IDENTIFIED. THE OBJECTIVE WILL BE TAKEN BY US.'' the robots told Eggman, who was actually chilling back at base watching some TV and said robots were sitting on the canopy of a very tall tree to basically observe Knuckles' fighting style, actions and the echidna's trump card and they were hidden by the fog.

'

Knuckles was going around the place, wondering that if he was actually a treasure hunter or just a guardian of a powerful emerald and then they he was being stealthy as there was a bunch of robots with binoculars for eyes that were the lookouts for the ninja-like robot high up on the trees, so Knuckles had to do something.

''WHAT THE HECK ARE WE GOING TO DO AFTER THIS?'' the blue lookout robot asked his team-mate who was just putting up a fire for some stupid reason.

''USE THIS FIRE TO DO SOME ROASTING?'' the yellow look-out robot suggested, who was just putting his hands on the fire and they were just very good at looking out as they were just finding tons of insects.

''WELL, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ROAST?'' his team-mate asked, as he stopped looking out and then the echidna was just passing through the bushes quickly and since the robots were basically distracted by the fire, Knuckles got through there with ease and then he managed to find a ravine, so he sped up before jumping and gliding to the other side.

''Alright, I can sense a shard.'' Knuckles said to himself, as he was just on the other side of ravine, basically catching his breath and there was more robots in the place that were protecting the obvious shard. ''It's right over there.''

To be continued with Knuckles getting two of the four shards!
