Hey guys, it's been a little while. No reviews this time but thanks anyway to Shibainu189 for following and favoring along with all 1,050 readers! Okay, so this chapter will finish up Knuckles' story and then we'll get to the Last Story where Kara will also play a large role. After that, comes Sonic Adventure 2, you can see how excited I am for that, can't you? Oh yeah, and Kara and Shadow now have a song that fits them. Leave Out All the Rest by Linkin Park is their song because I believe it fits how Shadow feels towards Kara, his complete opposite yet his true love. Alright, I hope you guys enjoy and check out Gotta Go Fast to see the other version of Kara! Alright, that's everything so enjoy!


The light faded and Kara opened up her icy blue eyes to look around. They widened almost comically as she realized where they were.

"What...We're back in front of the alter!" Knuckles said.

"Looks like it." Kara nodded in agreement, running a hand through her white tipped with silver quills before she tucked one small one that fell in her eye behind her ear.

"This is beginning to blow my mind!" Knuckles added, looking wide eyed at Kara.

"Mine too." The amnesic girl agreed, though somehow...going back to what she thought was the past felt...familiar somehow.

"Wait a minute...I remember..." Knuckles started and his younger sister joined in,

"The broken pieces of the Master Emerald..."

"I have to restore them to where they belong." Knuckles finished and Kara nodded in agreement before both guardians ran up the stairs of the alter hurridley. Once they reached the top, both held their arms out and their shards appeared. Knuckles held his arms up and restored the shards, causing Kara to block her eyes from the light. When she opened them, the Master Emerald was still broken. "It's still incomplete!" Knuckles said.

"Thanks Captain Obvious." Kara stated sarcastically.

"You've obviously spent a little too much time around Sonic." Knuckles stated dryly before he added, "We need to find the remaining pieces."

"But...where?" Kara asked, her head cocked to the side slightly. Knuckles shrugged when he gasped,

"Hey look!" Kara turned and her eyes widened when she saw the image in the Master Emerald. "It's Eggman's flying fortress. That's where the rest of the pieces must be." Knuckles realized. Kara grinned widely and the two ran off Angel Island back to the main land when Kara asked,

"Um, Knuckles...where is it?" That stopped the echidna right where he was, giving the amnesic hedgehog her answer. He didn't know. Suddenly, a loud noise startled the two and they turned as a red robot walked off.

"Hey! Isn't that one of Eggman's robots?" Knuckles asked. Kara grinned widely as she nodded her head repeatedly.

"I think so!" She cried, bouncing on her heels in excitement. "We can follow it back to old Egghead's base! Then we can find the Master Emerald shards!" Knuckles smiled,

"That's the same idea I had." He then gave his younger sister a high five that she eagerly took before the two ran off after the robot. As they ran, Kara used her powers to figure out what it was.

"It's called 102-Gamma." She reported, "That's all I can get." Knuckles nodded as the two hopped in a cart to follow Gamma.


The cart ended up at the same forest where they found the temple and more shards. The duo followed Gamma until he led them straight to Eggman's base.

"Hmmm, just what I thought." Knuckles said as they reached the base. "Time to make a house call!" Kara grinned as she followed Knuckles onto the Egg Carrier. However, she jumped when it took to the sky, being only used to the Tornado taking off.

"That sure was...scary." She whispered to herself as she followed Knuckles out onto the base.

"Now we'll see who's easily tricked." He stated.

"And who was right!" Kara added as she gave her brother a pointed look. Knuckles rolled his eyes, knowing she'd hold that over his head for a while.

"I can sense the Emeralds are here somewhere!" He said.

"Well, then let's go get them!" Kara cried like a little child playing a treasure hunt game. She didn't care about the possible danger they were in, she was perfectly alright just thinking of it all as one innocent little game she could play until the Master Emerald was restored. Then she'd go back to her simple life helping protect it on Angel Island with only Knuckles for company.

"Uh! What's going on?" Knuckles suddenly cried, startling Kara out of her thoughts. Suddenly, the Egg Carrier shifted, changing its position.

"Knuckles!" Kara cried, grabbing her big brother's arm as she felt the shaking. That was the only thing that could scare her at that time.

"Ugh! This thing's always changing." Knuckles groaned, "Come on, Snowflake, let's go get the Master Emerald."

"Right!" Kara grinned, her excitement overcoming her fear of the modern technology. Knuckles smiled softly down at her before he led her to a door.

"I sense the Master Emerald." He said as he reached a door.

"Me too." Kara whispered, her snowflake glowing as she stretched out her senses.

"It can't be far from here." Knuckles reasoned before he led Kara through two more doors.

"Whoa!" The amnesic girl cried as she looked around the Sky Deck in awe.

"Snow, focus!" Knuckles chatisied.

"Right, sorry!" Kara cried sheepishly as she picked up several rings. Knuckles tilted the room, causing the girl to cry out. "Knuckles! There's robots here!" She cried once she saw the ground.

"Don't worry, we can take them. Now go get the shard!" Knuckles said. Kara playfully saluted her brother before she flew down and into the quickly closing and opening door. She avoided the strange things falling towards her and grabbed the big Master Emerald shard before she flew back up to Knuckles.

"I did it!" She cried gleefully as she put the shard away.

"Nice work!" Knuckles complimented before he led the way to another shard, Kara flying by his side. As they ran, the light that was with them spoke.

"Even on the deck of this ship, there's a place you can dig." The light said. Kara looked up and saw a shard on a platform. Quickly, she jumped and flew straight up to it.

"One more, Big Brother!" She grinned as she floated down beside him. "Let's go!" Knuckles nodded, determined to find the last shard. When they reached the area and found swinging balls with spikes, Kara pulled up a barrier around them as Knuckles found the shard.

"Found 'em!" He smiled in relief.

"Good, now let's move before I drop and we get hurt." Kara suggested cheerfully. Knuckles nodded in agreement and the duo moved out of the way before Kara dropped to the ground, forcing Knuckles to catch her.

"The last missing piece! Alright!" Knuckles grinned once he straightened Kara. "Now to restore the Master Emerald!"

"Let's go!" Kara cried.

"Huh?" Knuckles suddenly said as the red light flew around them again. The light brightened and soon the duo closed their eyes.


When the light faded, Knuckles groaned,

"Oh no! Not again. What is the meaning of this?" Kara's eyes suddenly widened in fear and panic.

"Knuckles...fire!" She cried, pointing ahead of them towards the alter.

"Come on, let's check it out." Knuckles stated but as he moved to run, he felt Kara resist. He saw the fear in her eyes, no, the absolute terror. She was petrified, her fear of fire taking over her whole system, refusing to let her move. The one memory she had was threatening to overwhelm her with its pain once again. "Snowflake, eyes on me." Knuckles snapped her back to reality with his calm voice. "It's okay, the fire won't come near you, I'll protect you. I promise." Kara met his eyes, her own filling with trust as she nodded and whispered softly,

"Okay." Knuckles nodded and took her hand as they ran up to the alter. Right in front of it, the two saw Tikal and ran up to her.

"Hey, what happened here?" Knuckles asked.

"Are you alright?" Kara added as she knelt down beside the girl, forgetting the flames.

"I couldn't...stop them." Tikal answered, "They came...and my father..." She slowly pushed herself up, looking at the echidna and hedgehog as she continued, "I had no idea...how bad this would turn out! I'm shocked." Suddenly, the group heard a roar. Kara helped Tikal stand up while Knuckles looked at the sky. Suddenly, the red echidna cried,

"Look, it's the Emerald!" Suddenly, Tikal ran off, causing the two to cry,

"Wait!" The light surrounded the two before they could do anything else.


The light faded once again and the duo found themselves back on Eggman's ship.

"Is this a dream?" Knuckles asked.

"I don't know, it seems so real." Kara answered.

"It's more like a nightmare!" Knuckles added at which Kara nodded, feeling so bad for Tikal, despite not fully knowing her. Suddenly, the red light flew around them saying,

"Your friends are in front of the ship fighting. Help them!"

"Let's go, Knuckles!" Kara cried as she ran out the door and back onto the ship, forcing her brother to follow her.

"We've finally found all the missing Emerald pieces...But..." Knuckles said once they reached the outside. "I still can't figure out that creepy monster."

"Me either." Kara admitted.

"Huh? What's that?" Knuckles cried as he noticed a bright white light.

"Let's check it out!" Kara cried once the light faded. Knuckles nodded in agreement and the two ran over where they found Eggman and Sonic. "Sonic!" Kara cried as they ran over.

"Hey, Sonic!" Knuckles cried as well.

"There you two are, Knuckles. About time! I expected more from you, Snowflake!" Sonic quipped as he saw his friends.

"Nice to see you too!" Kara grinned, knowing that was just how Sonic greeted Knuckles. They were rivals, after all.

"I will return!" Eggman proclaimed as he flew away.

"Eggman! Come back!" Sonic cried as he ran after his nemesis.

"We'd better let Sonic handle it from here." Knuckles advised. Kara whined like a little child. "He'll do okay. Now...we must return to Angel Island and the Master Emerald."

"Um, I don't think so!" Kara said as she turned her head and saw the same water beast only now, there were six Chaos Emeralds in it.

"No! It can't be!" Knuckles cried

"It is! It's Chaos!" Kara cried as she summouned Starlit Night.

"I guess he didn't get enough the first time!" Knuckles said, "You can't stop us from restoring the Master Emerald!"

"Bring it on!" Kara grinned before she ran forward and grabbed a bomb. She used Starlit Night to levitate and throw it at Chaos, freezing him. Knuckles ran towards him and attacked the frozen beast. Kara shot a batch of ice at the watery beast and shot a ring of light at him. Chaos winced at the impact as the white hedgehog ran to get out of range. Knuckles grabbed a bomb and attacked again, weaking Chaos more. When Knuckles glided over to stand beside Kara, Chaos changed shape. "Watch out!" Kara cried as Chaos began to attack them in a more dangerous way.

"Watch yourself!" Knuckles cried as they began to dodge. Once Chaos was back in his original form, Kara grabbed the nearest bomb and threw it with all her strength.

"Knuckles, now!" She cried. Taking the hint, the echidna charged and delivered the final blow.

"Is that all you got?" He quipped as Chaos was defeated. Kara ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"We did it!" She cried happily.

"Yeah! You're finished!" Knuckles cried as Kara pulled away. "What's left now it to return the Master Emerald safely to my island."

"Ahem. Our island, you mean." Kara corrected. Knuckles nodded. "Hey look, the Chaos Emeralds." The girl pointed out. "Let's bring them with us, I'll carry them while you take the Master Emerald shards."

"Alright." Knuckles nodded in agreement. Kara grinned as she handed her shards over and picked up the six jewels. As the Egg Carrier exploded, the hedgehog and echidna flew/glided away back to the safety of their island.


Once the duo reached the top of the alter, Knuckles held out his hands and the three remaining shards appeared. Quickly, the guardian restored the Master Emerald to its former glory.

"This should do it! Perfect. All is well, now!" Knuckles smiled.

"We did it!" Kara grinned as she bounced on her heels. "The Master Emerald and the island have been restored!" Once again, Angel Island shook but this time, it began to rise into the air. Only this time, it didn't scare Kara like it did before, because now it meant everything was returned to normal.


Finally, I got to see the world, if only for one time. I may not have recovered more of my memory but...something tells me my adventures aren't over yet. These Chaos Emeralds I have...they're a sign that this isn't over yet. I may not know what's going to come but I feel as if...the outcome will be amazing for me. Maybe I'll be able to see the world again someday, or fight alongside Sonic, Tails and Knuckles to keep the world safe. I mean, the four of us are a great team already. Nobody would stand a chance against us if we teamed up. But..that's not for now. Besides, there's still more to Tikal's story and I'm determined to figure out what happened. My conscious says I have to. Ah well, I guess I'll just have another adventure someday, maybe with all my friends by my side too. After all, a team's better than one person right? That's my reasoning...and I'm going to stick by it! Boring won't get me! My story's only just starting, just you wait! I'll see the whole world someday and remember my past! I just know it!
