Hey guys, I'm back! Okay, so first I've gotta get a few things out of the way. A. The last chapter has been edited so that there's a smaller gap between when Sonic and Tails see Kara and Knuckles near the Master Emerald and when Eggman steals it. It also gives you the biggest clue ever as to who Kara is and, if you skipped my author's note for chapter 2, who she will be paired with. B. I've started another Sonic story, specifically, Kara in Sonic X. It's called Gotta Go Fast so go check it out. C. Kara's theme song is Bringer of Revolution, it is an Objection theme from Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Dual Destinies. A fan created lyrics for it that I feel fit Kara perfectly so please go check them out on Youtube, type in Athena Cykes Bringer of Revolution lyrics, it's the video by adrisaurus and has a yellow background with a picture of Athena on it. D. If anyone has a suggestion for a voice actress for Kara, please let me know. Okay, so thanks to Silver2350 and pokecats649 for following/favoring along with all 346 readers! So, this will be the last chapter of Sonic and Knuckles. Oh, I almost forgot, are you guys okay if I skip Knuckles' Chaotix? It's just that I'm really getting tired of writing the two dimensional games, it's harder than you think and I'm really looking forward into getting to Sonic Adventure. But, if a lot of you want me to do Knuckles' Chaotix, then I'll suck it up and write it. Please review to cast your vote, otherwise I'll just skip it and you can imagine it however you want. But no matter what, this is where Kara's smaller role ends and her larger one begins. Please enjoy!


Kara and Knuckles were sitting in Mushroom Hill Zone, just enjoying the peace and tranqulity that had settled over Angel Island after Sonic, Tails and Eggman left. Kara felt like she could breath easily again. She took a deep breath when she noticed a bomb landing on the ground in front of her and Knuckles.

"Knuckles!" Kara cried. Hearing her cry, Knuckles quickly jumped in front of the bomb, taking the force of the explosion in order to protect Kara. Once the smoke from the bomb cleared, the echidna and hedgehog looked up only to see one of Eggman's robots, an EggRobo. Knuckles growled, enraged at the attack.

"Stay here, I'm going after that thing." Knuckles stated.

"No, Big Brother! Let me come with you!" Kara insisted, using the nickname she had given Knuckles when he adopted her. Knuckles shook his head, his eyes closed.

"If that thing's here, then it's possible there could be more, possibly after the Master Emerald." He explained, "I need you to protect it, Snowflake. Protect it at any cost." Understanding the importance of her mission, Kara nodded, her face becoming completely serious. Knuckles nodded at her before he took off after the EggRobo. Kara, on the other hand, teleported back to the Master Emerald, determined to protect it, no matter what.


Kara's eyes widened as she sensed the new presence coming towards the Master Emerald. Her shock was even more evident when it was a robot that looked like Sonic that came out.

"Who are you!" She demanded, summouning Starlit Night and taking her battle stance.

"I am Mecha Sonic." The robot answered after a pause. It spoke just how Kara imagined a robot would, mechanically with no feeling whatsoever. "Must acquire Master Emerald."

"There's no way I'm letting you take this!" Kara cried, jumping in the robot's way. Mecha Sonic stared at her before it said,

"Target acquired. Must destroy enemy and acquire Master Emerald." Kara stayed in the one spot she was in, staring the robot down. When Mecha Sonic was about to strike her, she jumped as high as she could and floated. She had discovered a little while after Knuckles found her that she could fly easily. She had flown around Angel Island so many times over the years, she was almost positive she was as fast as, well, Sonic the Hedgehog running. Twisting Starlit Night, Kara cried,

"Super Nova!" The light surrounded Mecha Sonic and knocked it back. As it tried to attack Kara again, she flew out of the way before using an attack she hadn't used on Sonic and Tails. "Hot Spot!" The hottest light she could wield surrounded the girl as she held out her hand and her staff and carefully aimed it all at the robot attacking her. Mecha Sonic obviously didn't like her as its attacks got deadlier, forcing Kara to her more powerful form of attack. Putting Starlit Night away, Kara held out her hands as her eyes turned mostly white and her snowflake glowed. "Ice Storm!" She shouted and shards upon shards of ice shot out of her fingertips. The first few hit the robot but it eventually managed to avoid all of them. Feeling herself grow weak from using both her light and her cyrokinesis, Kara used the last of her energy to protect herself, as that was all she could do. "Barrier..." She whispered as she fell to the ground. At the last second, she saw the light surround her, keeping Mecha Sonic from her but not the Master Emerald.


Kara opened her eyes and instantly turned to the Master Emerald shrine only to find the precious gem...gone!

"No..." Kara whispered as she suddenly felt how unstable Angel Island was. "No! No! No!" She cried as she stood up. Being too weak to teleport herself, she started running around the island, trying to find Mecha Sonic and the Master Emerald. But she found neither until she sensed Knuckles needing her help. At that second, an idea hit her. It seemed crazy, yes, but it was all she had. Sonic...Sonic, can you hear me?

Kara? Is that you? How are you doing this?

No time for questions! Listen, do you still have all seven Chaos Emeralds?

Yes...?

Put them in the same location at once so I can use them! Hurry! And I'm going to need you to fly the Tornado towards Angel Island!

Why?

Knuckles and the island are in trouble, Sonic! Please! I need you to do this!

...Alright, I'm in! Just tell me what to do!


Kara walked into Sky Sanctuary Zone, her head held high. When Knuckles saw her, he cried,

"Kara, get out of here! It's not safe!"

"It isn't safe for you either!" Kara retorted, "Besides...this is partly my fault. So I'm gonna help fix it!" Kara then spread her arms out to the side and looked up. Light completely surrounded her as she teleported the seven Chaos Emeralds from wherever Sonic had put them to Angel Island. Once they arrived, the emeralds began to spin around the girl, faster and faster until they were absorbed into her. Kara's fur turned completely silver, her eyes becoming completely white and her clothes all becoming icy blue. Her snowflake glowed the brightest white Knuckles had ever seen it glow. Kara looked up at Mecha Sonic as it absorbed the Master Emerald's energy to become Super Mecha Sonic again. "Mecha Sonic, you're going down!" Kara cried as she charged the robot. Just before she hit it, however, she shot out several pieces of ice, all of which hit the robot head on. Mecha Sonic moved to pursue Kara, but with the Chaos Emeralds, the now Super hedgehog was too fast for it, going faster than she had ever gone before. Kara flew around, tiring Mecha Sonic out and attacking it every once in a while before she summouned Starlit Night, which now glowed a bright silver with white stars and icy blue streaks, and cried, "Super Light!" Light shot out at Mecha Sonic at full throttle, not even giving it a chance to escape. The light hit the robot and the battle was done. The Chaos Emeralds suddenly left Kara completely as she fell out of the sky and into Knuckles arms, holding the gems tightly. Quickly, Knuckles ran forward and grabbed the Master Emerald just as the ground completely broke under his feet. But after only a minute of falling, Knuckles felt himself land on something. He opened his eyes only to see none other than Sonic the Hedgehog flying the Tornado. Sonic winked at Knuckles, giving him a thumbs up before he led the plane back to Angel Island, specifically, the Master Emerald shrine. "Thanks...Sonic." Kara whispered, still conscious but not entirely strong.


Once the Master Emerald was back where it belong and Angel Island was floating again, Knuckles and Kara turned to Sonic.

"Thank you..." Knuckles said, "for helping us."

"Hey, that's what friends are for, right?" Sonic smiled.

"You...really consider us friends?" Kara asked, the innocence she carried shining in her eyes. Her strength had returned the instant she touched the Master Emerald, leading Knuckles and Sonic to believe fighting so close to the Master Emerald in a Super State for the very first time had made Kara weaker than if she had been away from it.

"Well, sure. I mean, you trusted me enough to help you." Sonic pointed out.

"You called him?" Knuckles asked, looking at his adopted sister. Kara looked down, her side bangs falling in her eyes as she did.

"I used my telepathy to contact him." She admitted, "I needed to get the Master Emerald back because I felt like I let you down, Knuckles. And I remembered how the Chaos Emeralds can make one stronger so I thought I'd use them, since I knew Mecha Sonic would only use the Master Emerald for evil." Knuckles smiled and put an arm around Kara.

"I have to say, you sure are smart, Snowflake." He said. Kara blushed lightly at the compliment but smiled nonetheless.

"Well, I'd better get going." Sonic said as he made his way back to the Tornado.

"Oh, Sonic!" Kara cried, running after the blue hedgehog before he could leave. Sonic looked at her, confused. "If...if you want, you and Tails can call me Snowflake from now on...I mean, we are friends...right?" She asked nervously, sounding like a little kid asking their parents if they could do something. Sonic grinned,

"Gee, thanks Snow. I'm guessing it's a real honor to call you that." Kara nodded.

"It's how you know she trusts you." Knuckles added.

"Glad to hear it." Sonic smiled, "So, I guess I'll see you around, Knuckles, Snowflake." As Sonic flew away in the Tornado, Kara and Knuckles waved goodbye.

"I'm glad we met him." Kara smiled.

"Me too, Snow, me too." Knuckles agreed, nodding.


There's the chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed. And is Kara's Super State...believeable? I really wanted her to go Super to show how powerful she truly is and it's a big role in her past, I'm not saying how. But go read the last chapter for the revised version and the flashback may answer all of your questions about Kara. Don't forget to review if you want me to do Knuckles' Chaotix or not! And first person to correctly guess where Kara comes from or which Sonic character she's related to gets a free spoiler of their choosing! Please, please, please review! Later!
