Sonic Doom Express Chapter #2
Sonic spent hours trying to find a way out of this situation. Namely the Ball and Chain robot he was handcuffed to. Finally, he cracked the code. Every time he hit the Ball, it sent him flying, and the Ball with him. Therefore, instead of trying to get away from the robot, he would take the robot along with him. In fact, it was actually a gift, as Sonic was able to use the Ball as a weapon against Badniks by swinging it at them like a mace. Additionally, every time he jumped, the Ball would open up, concealing him inside. He used this reflex as armour. With practice, he was able to take full advantage of the Ball's programming.
Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of he Master Emerald. He was also a part-time treasure hunter. It wasn't so bad of a life. With his ancient destiny, he gained super strength and the ability to glide using his quills, which kinda take the form of dreadlocks for whatever reason. Living by himself on Angel Island really had its share of ups and downs. He always had fruit to eat, lots of sunlight and fresh air, just made him feel alive. He preferred living alone, not depending on others. But once and a while, he had no choice but to fight alongside Sonic. So you can imagine, he had a bad day today. He had an encounter with Rouge, who he immediately kicked right off the island. She was always trying to get her hands on the Master Emerald, and that was real bad news for Knuckles. After a hard year of work, he picked today of all days to reward himself with a visit to Sonic's place.
"Sonic? I expected you to be running faster."
"Yeah, see, I got a little something weighing me down." Sonic pointed to the Ball.
"I see. Eggman, huh? No problem, Sonic. I got this."
"Wait! No!" Sonic was too late and, well you get the picture. Anyway, one second later, Knuckles was lying on the ground, realizing that the sidewalk was very comfortable. Or at least, that's what he claimed."I tried to warn you." Sonic denied.
"Well, how are we gonna get that thing off your arm?"
"Well, you see, I kinda like it where it is. It helps me fight Badniks, you should've seen!"
"Well, you can save it for-OH MY GOSH! Sonic, behind you!" Knuckles panicked. Sonic turned around to see an army of Badniks ready to fight. "Huh! Well, whaddya know. Hey Knuckles. Since you're here, could you give me a hand?" Sonic asked nervously.
"Sure! These guys are gonna taste the floor!" Knuckles agreed."Sonic, I suggest you jump."
"What?"
"Now! Do it now!" Knuckles shouted as he punched the ground, wiping out a vast amount of Badniks. Sonic began to swing the Ball around and hit the Badniks with it. He then threw it into the air and it levitated, allowing Sonic to attack Badniks freely. He started bouncing on the Ball, lifting himself into the air. "Knuckles!" Sonic cued. Knuckles nodded and jumped into the air, grabbed Sonic by the legs, and swung the ball at the Badniks, eliminating the remnants of their numbers. Sonic gave Knuckles a thumbs up in congratulation. Both parties were sweating afterwards.
