Knuckles' POV
I was waiting outside Rocket's apartment when I smelled something that seriously reeked. Rocket came up the stairs with a messed-up Sonic. "Don't. Ask," Sonic said angrily. "Dog crap on his left shoe. Pigeon crap on his shoulder. Attacked by dogs. Covered in trash. Fell into the sewers," Rocket said as he got out his key and opened the door. "And I guess wet paint," I said after seeing a patch of brown on Sonic. "You guessed it," Rocket replied. "Shut it, why don't you," Sonic said angrily before walking into the bathroom. "Geez, who put a scorpion in his sneakers," I asked. "He's just sore about what happened," Rocket said. "Well, what happened," I asked.
"Well, Sonic...," Rocket started explaining. "Oh, God. That's a laugh and a half," I said, wiping a tear from my right eye. "I know, right," Rocket replied, laughing. "So, Sonic actually fell into the sewers," I asked. "He sure did. It was freaking hilarious," Rocket replied. Rocket and I laughed about all the misfortune Sonic experienced. Rocket's cell phone went off, so he checked to see who was calling. "What's going on," he asked. "Cool. We're on the way," he said before hanging up. "What's going on," I asked. "It's Eggman. He's back," Rocket replied. Both of us ran out of the apartment to catch up with the others.
Blaze's POV
Silver and I were currently fighting Egg Fighters while Shadow and Rouge were fighting Swatbots. I looked over to my left and saw Julie-Su and Mighty fighting Egg Pawns. I looked over to my right and saw Bunnie fighting Buzz Bombers and Motobugs all by herself. Suddenly, three Buzz Bombers were destroyed while Bunnie defeated some of the Motobugs. Rocket soon landed right near Bunnie and took out some of the Motobugs. "Bunnie, need some help," he asked. "I sure do," Bunnie replied. The Buzz Bombers and Motobugs had looks of fright on their faces as if they knew who Rocket was. "Get lost," Rocket said. The Buzz Bombers and Motobugs followed Rocket's harsh command and fled."Cowards! I'll have you dismantled," Eggman shouted. "You definitely know how to take care of business," Bunnie said. "It's all part of the job," Rocket replied. I looked back over to my left and saw no Egg Pawns stood. "Jules, are you okay," I heard Knuckles ask. "I'm okay. Especially now that you're here," Julie replied staring into Knuckles' eyes. "Oh, get a room, you two," Mighty said. "Eggman, your path ends here," Silver said. "I don't think so. In fact, I think I should alter your luck," Eggman replied before firing off his laser. It missed Rocket, Mighty, Julie, Bunnie, Shadow and I, but hit Knuckles, Rouge, and Silver.
"Come on. I just can't hit Rocket today," Eggman said. "My permanent good luck prevents me from getting hit," Rocket said. "You'll get yours eventually," Eggman said before disappearing. "Great. Now I have the same luck Sonic has," Knuckles said. "Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen to you while I'm here," Julie said. Suddenly, a boulder rolled down the side of the rock quarry we were in. Rocket looked over and saw the boulder was rolling straight toward Julie and Knuckles. "Julie, look out," Rocket said before he pulled Julie to the side and let the boulder flatten Knuckles. Julie, Rocket, Mighty, and I stood over Knuckles, who currently looked like a flattened cartoon character. "That would've happened to you if I wasn't here," Rocket said to Julie.
