Sonic and the Freedom fighters

Hi everyone, this is mastershadow, I'm doing a sonic game timeline along with some side stories, but with the freedom fighters and many more friends, even six certain characters from another world which will be merged later on (forgot to mention that), including chronicles because I liked the game, but the story could be a little better along with the planned sequel, I'm also adding the events from the idw comics because they're awesome, also Sally won't hook up with sonic for a while until way later, but for now enjoy.

Dark Legion part 3- Knuckles meets the brotherhood

Knuckles is seen sleeping in bed when he wakes up seeing Mace sleeping on his chest and Chomps is sleeping next to the bed. He wakes up and sees his brother and smiles.

"Morning Mace," Knuckles said."

(Gets up and rubbing his eyes)" Morning bro," Mace said as he gets off of Knuckles." Morning Chomps."

The two get up brush their teeth and head to the dining room.

"Morning boys," Wyn said."

"Morning," the brothers said."

"Morning boys," Lara-le said." What are your plans today?"

"Well, I'm going to see Hawking," Knuckles replied."

"And I'm taking Chomps to the park," Mace said."

"Ok then," Wyn said."

They have breakfast. Underneath Angel Island, an echidna in a green turban comes gliding towards it.

"Finally, after all these years, I'm finally home," the echidna said."

He lands on the island as Julie-su shows up riding a horse like creature.

"Whoa!" Julie-su said."

"A legionnaire!" the echidna said."

"I'm not with the legion anymore," Julie-su said."

Knuckles comes in.

"Hey Julie-su, who's this?" Knuckles asked."

The echidna sees the white-collar ring on Knuckles' chest.

"A fellow Gaurdian?" the echidna said."

The three head to a cafe,

"My name is Tobor, son of Hawking," Tobor said."

'So, that's the echidna that was with Hawking in those videos,' Knuckles thought.'

"Prove it," Knuckles said."

Tobor pulls down his green ragged turban showing the same collar ring.

"Here's your proof youngster, I bear the guardians mark," Tobor said."

"I see, come with me," Knuckles said."

At his home, Knuckles explains to his mother about Tobor.

"I see, so Tobor tell us what happened to you," Lara-le said."

"It happened years ago; the city temporally returned my father Hawking appointed me guardian. my wife and son were very happy for me," Tobor said."

"Son?" Julie-su asked."

"Yes, he was only a toddler the last time I saw him," Tobor replied."

"Go on," Knuckles said."

"Suddenly, the dark legion attacked," Tobor said."

"Wait, the escaped the twilight zone before?!" Knuckles asked."

"Yes, they've escaped before, but we always send them back," Tobor replied." the leader during that time was an echidna named Moritori Rex. I succeeded in driving the legion back to the zone, but Rex and I continued our fight until some rubble fell and trapped us, we were severely injured, but my father mistook him for me and took him home, I was able to get out of the rubble, but feeling that I failed I left to train."

"How could Hawking mistake him for you?" Lara-le asked."

"Not sure, but i do know that Rex has been impersonating me and infiltrated Haven," Tobor replied."

"Haven?" Knuckles asked."

"It's the headquarters of the brotherhood," Tobor replied."

"Brotherhood?" Knuckles asked."

"You weren't told about it?" Tobor asked."

"Nope," Knuckles replied." but I want too now, Archimedes."

Archimedes appears.

"Yes, I need your help with something," Knuckles said."

Later, Knuckles is at a certain area in a field of fire.

"So, this will take me to Haven, time to meet the brotherhood," Knuckles said."

He goes through the field of fire as he does, he makes it into haven. He sees other echidnas as they look at him. One was an echidna in green and wearing a visor, the other one was a black echidna wearing a cloak and helmet to make him look scary, a red echidna that looks like him except with a little beard and a metal or silver plate on his head, a purple echidna with a beard, and the echidna with the glass eye.

"Knuckles, you weren't ready to be here yet," the purple echidna said."

"It's too late for that now," the echidna with the glass eye said."

(Gets up)" Are you the brotherhood?" Knuckles asked."

"Yes, we are. we're also your grandfathers. I am Sabre your grandfather of this generation, these are your grandfathers like Hawking generations removed, my great grandfather Thunderhawk, his father Sojourner, his father Spectre and his father Tobor," Sabre replied."

"It's nice to meet you all," Knuckles said." (thinking)' so, that's the imposter, I hope the plan works'

"It's nice to meet you grandson," the fake Tobor said."

"Like wise," Knuckles said." I was hoping to find Hawking and to let him know that both cities are saved," Knuckles said." I haven't seen him since."

"Well, our monitors were on the frits because of that event so we haven't seen anything yet," Thunderhawk said."

"But my grandfather is here in the medical bay because he doesn't have much time yet," Spectre said."

"Come grandson, I'll take you to him and check if you're feeling ok because going through the forbidden zone, we must see if there are side effects," the fake Tobor said."

"Of course," Knuckles said."

The fake Tobor takes Knuckles to the medical bay as Knuckles follows him. They enter the room where Knuckles sees Hawking in bed resting with a life mask.

"Hawking!" Knuckles said."

The fake Tobor pulls out a needle and sneaks up behind Knuckles. He was about to inject Knuckles until he kicks it out of his hand.

"Nice try Tobor or should I say Moritori Rex!" Knuckles said."

"I don't know how you found out, but you won't live to tell!" Moritori Rex said as he lunges at Knuckles."

Tobor appears thanks to Archimedes and grabs Moritori Rex leaving him shocked.

"Tobor?! but how?" Moritori Rex asked."

"What's the matter Rex, you look like you've seen a ghost," Tobor replied."

He punches Moritori Rex to the wall.

"You're done!" Tobor said."

"That's what you think!" Moritori Rex said."

He uses he visor and fires at Hawking. Tobor jumps in the way and takes the hit. Knuckles was about to pummel Moritori Rex until he uses a smoke bomb to escape.

"He's gone!" Knuckles said."

The brotherhood enters the room after hearing the noise.

"What happened?" Sojourner asked."

Knuckles explains everything.

"I see, who would've thought we had an imposter this whole time," Sabre said."

"We'll get him," Specre said." (seeing Tobor)" I'm also glad your alive father."

"Me too son," Tobor said." (seeing Hawking)" Father."

(Sees Tobor and tears up)" Tobor, it really is you, I'm so sorry that I mistook him for you," Hawking said."

"I'm not upset father, I'm just glad I can see you again," Tobor said as he holds his father's hand and tears up while smiling."

Later after getting the monitors fixed Knuckles was explaining what happened when the two cities appeared.

"That makes sense Knuckles and we're very impressed that you worked on a peace with the dingo's'," Thunderhawk said."

"But keep in mind, that some dingos won't agree with this," Sojourner said."

"I'm well aware of that," Knuckles said." Right now, we have the legion to deal with."

Elsewhere with the dark legion. Kragok walks into a room with a female echidna.

"Ah Kragok, Lien-da what's the status of the doctor?" the echidna asked."

"Well, after he tried to syphon the dark emerald, he's still in the medical bay," Lien-da replied."

"Grandfather Dimitri, what's your plan with this emerald?" Kragok asked."

"Simple, with this emerald we can match the Gurdian," Dimitri replied."

Moritori Rex comes in.

"Hello grandfather, my cover was blown," Moritori Rex said."

"No need to worry grandson, it's time for the legion to strike!" Dimitri said as he attaches the dark emerald to a chest plate giving him power." Now, let's begin!"

Back a Haven. Knuckles was asking why we were given this job of guarding the master emerald.

"Too be honest Knuckles, we don't remember," Sabre said." All we know that it started 4,000 years ago

"I understand," Knuckles said."

Suddenly, Atthair appeared along with another echidna, the echidna had a moon shape on his head, his eyes are either glass or just closed, he was wearing a blue robe and has a staff.

"Atthair?! what are you doing here and who's that?" Knuckles asked."

"Greetings grandson, I am Mathias father of Hawking," Mathias replied."

"Wow, it's nice to meet you," Knuckles said."

"Likewise grandson, but you need the chaos rings to stop the legion," Mathias said."

"What do you mean?" Knuckles asked."

"The legion acquired a dark power, my apprentice is on his way to the city to fight," Mathias replied." We all need to be there."

Suddenly, an explosion is seen on the now fixed monitor as Locke comes in.

"What was that noise?!" Locke asked." (Sees Knuckles)" Knuckles what are you doing here?"

"No time dad, the city needs us!" Knuckles replied."

In the city, the Legion lead by Dimitri along with Moritori Rex, Kragok, and Lien-da, the echidna and dingo police troops along with Julie-su and the Chaotix fight back while getting the citizens to safety.

"Get the citizens to the bunkers!" Remington said."

"I already got most to the bunkers," Julie-su said."

"I'm surprised that you're here Remington," Kragok said."

"Even you sister," Lien-da said." I figured you would be hiding."

"Why would I hide from you?" Julie-su asked."

"Still bratty as ever," Lien-da said."

"You monsters don't belong here!" Remington said."

"Is that anyway to speak to your father?" Kragok asked."

"You were never my father, mother was right to save me from you," Remington replied."

"I guess Luger failed to lead the legion while I was away," Moritori Rex said."

The legion continues fighting the dingo and echidna troops, Julie-su and the chaotix.

"These guys never quit," Vector said."

"I'll say," Mighty said."

Suddenly the brotherhood and Knuckles appear in the city and fight the legion.

"Knuckles!" Julie-su said."

"No time to talk, lets deal with these guys!" Knuckles said."

"Right!" Junlie-su said."

"Rex, it's payback time!" Tobor said."

"Likewise!" Moritori Rex said."

They battle as Tobor fights Moritori Rex, Julie-su fights Lien-da, Knuckles and Remington fight Kragok. Their fight was suddenly stops as Dimitri appears clapping slowly as Knuckles sees the dark emerald.

"A dark emerald!" Knuckles said."

"Good eye guardian, and with it in my chaos syphon I'm just as or more powerful than you," Dimitri said."

He suddenly appears around the brotherhood and attacks them then grabs Knuckles by the throat staring into his eyes.

"Your eyes are just like my brothers," Dimitri said."

(Grunting)" Then that means we're family?" Knuckles asked."

"Yes, we are, from to Remington are my family and from my brother Edmund to you makes you my nephew," Dimitri replied."

"Then why do this?" Knuckles asked."

"My brother was a coward to embrace the future I saw, he couldn't handle it," Dimitri replied." Now, after the brotherhood is no more the dark legion will fully rule."

Mace sneaks up behind Dimitri with a pipe.

"Let my brother go!" Mace said."

(Laughs)" Oh look, a little baby thinks he can stop me," Dimitri said."

"Mace, get out of here!" Knuckles said."

Mace runs towards Dimitri, only to be swatted away to the ground.

"So weak," Dimitri said."

He blasts at Mace leaving an explosion shocking Knuckles.

"MACE!" Knuckles yelled."

Suddenly, a black Mobian unicorn appeared holding Mace. he has white hair his horn had a blue line, he was wearing a jacket, fingerless gloves, he had red shoes with green at the bottom.

"Sorry I'm late master," the Mobian unicorn said."

"No worries," Mathias said."

"It's ok, he's fine," the Mobian unicorn said."

"Typical, another pest," Dimitri said."

Suddenly Knuckles starts glowing in anger and breaks free from Dimitri. Everyone looked shocked.

"W-what?!" Dimitri said."

"How dare you HURT MY BROTHER!" Knuckles yelled as the chaos rings circle around him giving him a boost in power.

"Even with a boost, you can't win," Dimitri said."

Knuckles gut punches Dimitri, then continues punches him then grabs the dark emerald from the syphon.

"This doesn't belong to you," Knuckles said."

"What have you done?! without the emerald the syphon is unstable!" Dimitri said."

"Not my problem," Knuckles said." But it's time for you to go!"

Knuckles, the brotherhood and the Mobian Unicorn use their powers and sends the legion away before Dimitri explodes. Everyone cheers for the victory as the Mace looks at his brother amazed.

"It's over for now, but they'll be back," Knuckles said."

Later, Knuckles returns the chaos rings into the master emerald, he then meets up with the brotherhood.

"The rings have been returned to the master emerald," Knuckles said as his dad and grandfathers were looking sad." What's going on?"

"Knuckles, its Mathias and Hawking, they're dying," Locke replied."

"What?!" Knuckles said."

"It's true lad, they're dying of old age," Thunderhawk said."

"Can, can I go see them?" Knuckles asked."

"Of course, Tobor and Spectre are already in there," Sabre replied."

Knuckles walks to the medical bay and sees Tobor and Spectre with Hawking and Mathias.

(Sees Knuckles)" Well done Knuckles," Hawking said."

"I knew the chaos rings would be a big help," Mathias said."

"Thanks, but are you two really dying?" Knuckles asked."

"Afraid so lad, our time has finally come," Hawking replied."

"Father, after reuniting you and grandfather are leaving us," Tobor said."

"It's ok Tobor, I'm glad because I get to see my son again," Hawking said tearing up." And I'm sorry for mistaking Moritori Rex for you, what kind of father am I."

(Tearing up)" Like I said, I don't hold a grudge against you father, and I already forgave you," Tobor said."

"That's good," Hawking said as he closes his eyes with a smile while Tobor and Spectre holds his hands."

"Knuckles, I have a request for you," Mathias said."

'What is it?" Knuckles asked."

(Gives Knuckles a book)" Gives this to my apprentice, so he could finish his training," Mathias replied."

"I will," Knuckles said as he takes the book.

Later, Mathias and Hawking were buried as everyone gathers around for the funeral. after that, Knuckles meets the Mobian Unicorn.

"Are you my grandfather's apprentice?" Knuckles asked."

"Yes, my name is Rock," Rock replied." Your grandfather took me under his wing when he found me."

"I see, well he wanted me to give you this," Knuckles said as he gives Rock the book." He wants you to continue your training."

(Takes the book)" Thank you, and I will," Rock said."

Later at night, after dinner, Knuckles wanted to talk to Mace.

"Mace I'm very disappointed in you," Knuckles said."

"I know," Mace said."

"You could've been killed if Rock didn't save you," Knuckles said." and what's worse, you got mom and Wyn worried."

"I was trying to be brave like you," Mace said."

"I'm only brave when I have to be, being brave doesn't mean you fight something you can't win," Knuckles said."

"But you're not afraid of anything," Mace said."

"I was today, because I was afraid of losing you," Knuckles said."

"Wow, I guess even guardians can get scared," Mace said."

"Yup," Knuckles said."

"And I bet those legion dorks were more afraid of you," Mace said."

"Because no one messes with your bro," Knuckles said as he gives Mace a noogie." Tell you what, I'll train you on my free time."

"Awesome," Mace said."

The two-side hug while looking at the sky. Back at Haven, the brotherhood examines the dark emerald.

"This emerald is full of negative energy," Locke said."

"Indeed," Atthair said." which is why they must be found and returned to the emeralds."

Elsewhere, the dark legion is recovering from their lost as a doctor comes out of a tent.

"It seems that Moritori Rex didn't make it, but Dimitri has but only his brain and heart survived," the doctor said."

"I see," Kragok said." and what of Finitevus?"

"What about me?" Finitevus appears with a white appearance, warp rings on his arms and legs and a long robe.

"The dark emerald gave me power, and we'll use it to defeat the brotherhood but for now we'll wait," Finitevus said."

Kragok and Lien-da look at each other and smirks.
