Chapter

Nineteen

A Fierce Crushing Blow

A stun Knuckles was seen teetering back and forth around the battlefield. "Dude…I so can't believe that you fell for that…I mean, that undoubtedly has to be the oldest trick in the book." Sonic huffed, as he landed on the ground. "So much for that all and knowing source of yours, hmmm?" Sonic then noticed that Knuckles had started back running toward him. "Huh? Here we go again." he sighed.

"Shut yer friggen trap, Sonic!!!!" Knuckles was throwing a punch at Sonic, however, just like last time, the hedgehog was way too swift for him, and sidestep him. "Don't EVER want to hear belittle my helpful source, ever again!" Knuckles had this extremely pissed expression on his face as he stared down the blue hedgehog. "If it wasn't for him, I'll would still be trapped on…What did he call it…Blooper Bay!"

"Geez Knucklehead, by the sound of it, I would say that you're kinda bromancing on this 'helpful source' of yours." Sonic said nonchalantly, as he dug in his ear.

"Bromancing? What is that…A-Are you…Is that some kinda way of saying I'm gay?" Knuckles said puzzled, looking down at his fingers.

"Ding, ding, ding! Now he gets it." Sonic chortled, mimicking the sound a bell make. "I'm surprised that it didn't take your pee-size brain that long to pick up on what I was elaborating on…"

"…D-Did…Did Sonic just used a…Big word?" Stuffwell murmured to himself.

"Err…I'll make you eat those words, Sonic, you filthy little swine!" Knuckles yelped, as he started a bombardment of heavy, fiery punches at Sonic. "You'll soon learn some respect, when I jam my fist down that cesspool you call a mouth!"

This time around, instead of just simply evading Knuckles punches, Sonic instead sunk into a new low, and basically threw all of Knuckles' punches aside; in graceful, lickety-split, speed of course. "Man, I do hope that this isn't your best effort, Knucklehead? I mean, you're so slow, bruh…Like always!" he chortled patronizingly, as he effortlessly caught and held onto one of his fist. "Maybe you should get body check out, as well as you head, when you go to that check-up…"

"Shut up! Shut up! SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!" Knuckles yelped, as he wildly threw his punches. However, Sonic was still too fast for him, and he was now running circles around Knuckles; the only thing you could see was a blue blur going around and around Knuckles' body. "Stand still you punk, and FIGHT ME!"

"Fight you? I coulda sworn that we already established that we were doing that…Or is it, that you're mad that you can't land a hit anymore?" Sonic chuckled loudly, while still running circles around Knuckles in his blurred form. "Dude, when things don't go your way you start whining and complaining. The way I see it, you're only getting your own deserves."

As Sonic continued lecturing Knuckles, Stuffwell noticed that Knuckles was starting to get redder and redder, until a light red aura fully cloaked his body. "Uhh…Master Sonic…" Stuffwell muttered.

"…I had just enough of you, Sonic…I really did hope it wouldn't have to come this…" Knuckles then balled up his left fist, and channeled all the gather aura into said hand. "…But…I'm afraid you leave me with no other alterative…I have to hit you with my 'Super'!"

Knuckles then leapt up in the middle of Sonic's mini blurry tornado, a fiery trail was seen following his body. "Shinku-Shinyuken!" Knuckles echoed, as he performed a midair uppercut.

Sonic came into a immediate halt, when noticed Knuckles' was suddenly encased in a full-bodied inferno. "W-What is he up to now?" he murmured, looking up at Knuckles.

Suddenly, Knuckles' body combusted and the area where Sonic was running around was in was suddenly engulfed in a deep fiery-red inferno, that swallowed up everything that surrounded including Sonic.

"SONIC?!??!" Stuffwell yelled, as he looked down toward the ground. However, only thing he could a see was deep fog that cover the whole area. You're probably asking yourself: How did in the hell Stuffwell avoided getting caught in the explosion. Well, that's because he flew up, using a mini-copter the professor installed in him.

"Sonic, where are you…This fog is so thick, I can't see a thing…" Stuffwell murmured, landing back into the ground. "Oh no, even my sensor can't pick up Sonic's signal…I'm beginning to fear for the worst…" he thought to himself.

Stuffwell then looked up and saw something plummeting toward the ground. "Huh…" Stuffwell took a closer look and finally noticed that it was Sonic, his body was covered in bruises and his body was all smoldered. "Sonic!" he yelped, waddling toward a falling Sonic.

Sonic finally landed, crashing HARD into the unforgiving metal compound, leaving a huge imprint in the floor. "Uhhhh…N-No that's smarts…" he groaned, grimacing in pain. When Sonic lifted his head, he noticed Stuffwell looking down at him. "S…Stuffy?"

"…Oooh, thank goodness that you're okay, Master Sonic. I feared for the worst just then…I'm glad that I was finally incorrect on the matter…for a change." Stuffwell said, while sighing outta relief. "…Hey, what did we just go through with referring to me by…that nickname?!?"

Sonic just groaned as he started to slowly lifted himself off the ground. "Master Sonic, please be careful. We yet to know the exceeds of your injures." Stuffwell said, trying to stop the hedgehog. "I advise that we use the device the professor install in me…"

"N…No, S…S-Stuffy." Sonic groaned, barely standing to his feet. "I…I told you that I don't use power-ups…I never relied on them in the past and I ain't gonna start now." he groaned, holding himself up. "…I have a code to standby…'The Code of The Warrior'…I…I'm sorry, Stuffy…I just can't accept it." he chuckled, half-heartedly.

"Spoken like a true warrior, Sonic…" Knuckles exclaimed, as he landed back to the ground; he was breathing heavily and he his body was all smoky.

Sonic just stared at Knuckles, looking at his banged up body. "…Hmm…That weird attack he just launched seem to took outta him…But still, where did he learn how do an attack like that from? I definitely never seen him do that before back in Mobius…He must've just learnt it…"

"So…How did you like it, Sonic…" Knuckles said, finally breaking the silence. Sonic just looked at him. "My attack, that is…How did you like it. I call it a 'Super' It suppose take a regular attack, for example my Shinyuken, and multiple it strength in folds." Knuckles then chuckled. "But I guess, you've already seen that…Firsthand."

"And let me guess…This so-called source of yours taught you this technique?" Sonic just seethed, rubbing some blood off his mouth.

"Hehehe. It's not like me to brag…But…" Knuckles then shrugged his shoulder cockily as he turned from Sonic, while showing his teeth.

Sonic just growled, as Stuffwell waddled over to him. "Master Sonic, about my offer…Please reconsider and employed it." Stuffwell begged.

However, Sonic just brushed him off. "I already told my answer, Stuffy?" Sonic said, seriously. "I don't want to hear off it anymore, you hear me?"

Stuffwell waddled back over to the sidelines, groaning outta disappointment. "Honestly, this thing about a man code is ridiculous…They're both animals for crying out loud!"

Knuckles just stood, watching as Stuffwell waddled back off the sidelines "Hey Sonic, Just what is up with that bag of yours?" Knuckles asked impatiently. "It's not like you to carry a Prada bag, or any kinda women accessories!"

"Excuse me!?" Stuffwell yelped. "For your information, I am not a Prada Bag, my name's Stuffwell! I'm a highly advanced automatous suitcase capable of adroit strategies, I also been erected to transport large trinkets with large power sources signal, practically without being detected." Stuffwell bragged about himself.

A bead of sweat dropped from Sonic's brow as he sighed. "…Dude, do you have any idea to what you've just done?" Stuffwell just turned toward him. "Uhh…why would tell someone as paranoid as Knuckles that?"

"I…I don't understand, Master Sonic…What seemed to be the problem? He only ask what I was, I merely gave him a simple, rational response…Nothing more, nothing less." Sonic then pointed behind Stuffwell. "…What?"

Stuffwell then noticed, Knuckles diving toward in a manic frenzy. "Oh, my!" Stuffwell yelped, closing up tightly falling on the ground.

Knuckles immediately jacking the suitcase up by its handle crying. "Alright, WellStuff! I heard all I needed to hear!" Knuckles growled, while shaking Stuffwell. "Now…Cough up my MASTER EMERALD!"

However, Stuffwell inside his encased form, engaged his locks making a loud clicking noise. Ya know, that noise your car make when you turn the safety alarm on. "Oh no, you don't, WellStuff, or whatever the hell your name is! Gimme my emerald!" Knuckles yelled, trying to pry Stuffwell open.

"H…Hey? S-Stop that…" Stuffwell groaned. "Leggo of me, you moronic oaf! That hurts, you're gonna break it!" Stuffwell whined, while Knuckles tugged on his safety locks.

Sonic tried stopping Knuckles, as he ran over toward them. "Uh...Stop that, Knucklehead!" he groaned, trying to pull Knuckles off him. "Stuffy, don't have your Master Emerald! You're hurting him!"

However, Knuckles just brushed Sonic off, while yelling. "Shut yer up, Sonic! It's a robot, it's not like they can't feel pain or anything!"

"Arghhh..." Stuffwell bellowed as Knuckles began ripping open his safety locks and causing the World Rings to stroll about the ground. "AHHHHHHH!!!!!" Stuffwell yelped out, he sorta sounded like a little girl. "…Uhh…Y-You big meanie!"

"…What…Aren't those just the Rings?" Knuckles looking down at the World Rings that were scrolled on the ground. "…Big rings too…I don't get it…Why are you carrying…" Knuckles then noticed Stuffwell, who was now crying like a baby. "Eh...Sorry?" he chuckled, nervously.

Having Knuckles attack him was one thing, but beating up poor and defenseless Stuffwell was another. "You've gone too far, Knuckles!" Sonic growled, getting Knuckles' attention. "Hurting a little kid like Stuffwell is unacceptable!" Sonic cried, balling up his fists. "I'm gonna make you pay, dude!"

Sonic curled up into a tight ball, spinning rapidly, until he had enough velocity to propel himself toward Knuckles, while echoing. "Homing Attack!" Sonic then smashed into Knuckles causing the Echidna to stumble backwards.

"Humph...Sonic I don't know what you're planning, but I'll stop you!" Knuckles groaned, catching his balance. "I might of been fooled in the past, but your response makes little sense." Knuckles roared running toward the Blue Hedgehog with his fist ablaze. "Here's a Shoryu-Reppa for you, Sonic!"

"Shoryu-Reppa...really?! What is this a joke?" Sonic sidestepped Knuckles while blandly muttering. "Next, you'll probably be firing a Kamehama Wave or something!"

Snow gently fell onto the ground, while Knuckles pointed his fists at Sonic yelling. "Hahahaha, very funny." he said, sarcastically. "Enough talk, Sonic! This time I'm going all out! I'm not going to lose to someone such as yourself!"

Knuckles then full speed at Sonic, this time, his fist glowing bright white. Once he reached Sonic, Knuckles started throwing barrages of punches at the hedgehog. However, the blue hedgehog evaded most of his swipes.

Knuckles then went to slash Sonic with his sharp claws, but Sonic sidestepped him, like always, and started delivering Knuckles with some attacks of his on. Sonic jumped up and came down on Knuckles, slamming his leg in the back of his head. Sonic quickly spun behind and slammed his spiny body into Knuckles back, slamming into a hard iron wall.

As Knuckles' body creamed up against the wall, Sonic quickly popped outta his ball state, he immediately charging power to his right leg. "Take this, Knucklehead!!" Sonic's leg glowed brightly, before slamming it into Knuckles back. Knuckles was sent spiraling threw many iron walls.

Before Knuckles could even crashed properly into ground, Sonic appeared above him…His right leg was still glowing brightly. "Guillotine…Axe-Kick!" Sonic's right-leg glowed brightly, once again, before thrusting it downward, just like a guillotine, slamming it right into Knuckles' chest.

Sonic watched as Knuckles landed HARD into the ground and slid onto the iron floors, until finally stopping. "It's not over yet, Knucklehead!" Sonic seethed, as he blazed right behind Knuckles' lifeless corpse.

Knuckles enraged by Sonic's attacks banged his fist against the ground creating an earthquake that shook the entire area. "Whoa...Dude?!" Sonic cried falling backwards hitting his head on a tree causing a pile of snow fall on his head.

Once Sonic lifted his head, he noticed Knuckles standing right above him. "…Uh-oh…" Sonic gulped.

Knuckles promptly uppercutted Sonic up in the air, sending him soaring upward. Knuckles then quickly got above him, his fists glowing bright white. "Let's see how you like the…COLD GROUND, CREEP!!!!" Knuckles then started spiraling down toward Sonic, moving like a drill. "Corkscrew Crush!" he yelped, slamming sharp claws into the top of Sonic's head.

Sonic was sent plummeting toward the ground, and crashed into a pile of snow. "Errrr!!!!" cried Sonic, popping out of a snow bank. "Dang it Knucklehead, I'm really getting fed up with you…!" Sonic then smirked. "I guess it time…I've amp things up a bit…Hm…"
