"Knuckles," said Sonic.
"What is that on his head," quizzically asked Tails.
"Behold, my ultimate weapon. Knowing this buffoon's real strength and power would definitely rival against you all, I've decided to make him a permanent member of my team," said Eggman.
"Whatever, I'll just take that stupid thing off his head in a jiffy," said Sonic as charges his spin-dash.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," says Eggman.
But Sonic soon rushes towards Knuckles at full speed. As he quickly gets close at him, Knuckles immediately raises his fist and punches Sonic out of his spin-dash. Sonic lands hard on the ground; he's lies unconscious.
The others gasp at this. Knuckles just took out Sonic. Never before could Knuckles defeat Sonic, not even when they're sparring.
"Sonic," Amy yelled as she runs towards Sonic's body.
"Ha ha ha, I'd say that was a success, if I do say so myself," laughed Eggman.
Amy knelt to check Sonic; he's still breathing. Amy sighed a relief, then immediately pulled out her hammer and stood.
"I going to crack your head open like egg for what you did to him," yelled Amy.
"Don't blame me, blame him," said Eggman as he presses another button.
Soon Knuckles starts marching towards Amy, who is standing strong with her hammer in hand. It didn't take long for her to throw her first swing at Knuckles, but proved fruitless as he grabbed the hammer and yanked it away from Amy. He then lifts it up and is about to squish Amy with it until Tails flew in and grabbed her at the last second. He lifts off from Knuckles and returns with Sticks, who looks to be at unease. She was trembling a bit; her entire body shaking with fear.
Tails drops Amy on her feet and they soon turn to see Knuckles approaching them, still with Amy's hammer.
"We need a plan Tails," said Amy.
"I'm still thinking one up," said Tails.
Knuckles is still coming closer and closer to the trio; Sticks finally stopped shaking and begins to run towards him. Tails and Amy watch in utter shock as Sticks then jumped onto Knuckles' head and starts to make a grab for the helmet; Knuckles still
continues his marching.
"Oh no you don't," said Eggman as he presses another button.
Knuckles stops and drops the hammer. He then tries to grab Sticks off of him; Amy soon takes her hammer away from him. Knuckles continues his efforts to grab Sticks, who's trying her best to remove the helmet from his head. She is then caught and lifted off of the helmet. Sticks then pulls out her boomerang and is about to stab the helmet with it when she is thrown by Knuckles towards a palm tree. She fell with a thud; Amy soon got a hit on Knuckles with her hammer and knocked him back a bit, but he soon draws his attention to her once again. Amy steps back; Tails goes to attend to Sticks.
"Are you all right," asked Tails.
"Yeah, I'm fine. But I think I know a way to get that helmet off of him," said Sticks.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Think you and Amy can distract him for a bit?"
Tails thought about it for a bit, then nodded. He soon lifts off to join Amy, who was still fending off Knuckles.
"Please tell me you got a plan," Amy asked desperately.
"Actually, Sticks' the one with a plan. We just got to keep Knuckles occupied," answered Tails.
"What do think I've been doing, dancing?"
Tails didn't answer; Sticks prepares herself. She starts aiming her boomerang at the helmet. With one strong throw, she launches the boomerang straight for the helmet. Direct hit.
The helmet starts to short-circuit; Knuckles freezes in the middle of his marching. The helmet then starts to smoke a bit.
"It's going to explode," yelled Amy.
With that, Tails immediately flew up and grabbed the helmet off of Knuckles' head. He then throws it up in the air and the helmet soon blows up. The day won yet again.
"Well, didn't take account for boomerang damage. Oh well, I'll have a much better plan next time," mumbled Eggman as he flies back to his lair.
After the helmet was removed, Knuckles fell on his back; he too is unconscious. Tails lands back on the ground; Amy puts away her hammer; Sticks retrieves her boomerang back and regroups with Tails and Amy.
"So... did we win," asked Amy.
"I think so, but think we should get Sonic and Knuckles back to the house," said Tails.
"Yeah, I think we should," said Sticks.
