In the Wachowski household things were still a little bit crazy
Not only with Tom in a cast but also the fact that UNIT's AI was stolen
"Hey, knuckles can you do a favour for me?" Tails asked
"What can I do for you fox?" Knuckles asked
"Well I'm tracking unit's signal and it seems they're currently on the move could you intercept them?" Tails asked
"Very well I need something to do while I wait for my donut flavoured with grapes." Knuckles said before getting ready
"Catch." Tails said through a small device "That will tell you where Unit is at."
"Thank you fox. My victory will be quick!" Knuckles said
Knuckles jumped out the window before looking at the device
(that's odd...It's coming right-) knuckles thought to himself before his thoughts were interrupted
"HELLO KNUCKLES WACHOWSKI." A voice asked
Knuckles looked up and saw a robot with a white quilled hedgehog on its back
The robot had the name tag "Omega" while the hedgehog had the name tag "Eri"
"What do you want machine?" knuckles said cautiously with his fists up
"WE HAVE YOUR ORDER." Omega said holding up a little baggy
"Oh thank you." Knuckles said
"I'M STILL A BIT MAD YOU PUNCHED ME BECAUSE OF MY POETRY." Omega said
Knuckles's eyes widened
"UNIT?!" Knuckles questioned
"CORRECTION I AM UNIT E-123 OMEGA." Omega said, "MY OLD BODY WAS FAULTY I HAVE BEEN UPGRADED."
"Face me Machine to test youR intentions!" Knuckles said popping the donut in his mouth
"No!" Eri said throwing out her hands
a rock hit knuckles
Eri had boulders surrounding her
She looked at the confused
(Telekinesis? No...It's geokinesis.) knuckles thought to himself
Omega then got an idea
he grabbed knuckles and dragged him into the woods
Eri followed
When she got to the woods she couldn't see omega
"Surprise attack!"
Eri threw a whole wall at Knuckas he appeared from the ground which she dodged
She then saw Omega lying next to a tree seemingly deactivated
Her adrenaline spiked her rage increased
Her eyes glowed green as she threw boulders at knuckles
"Sloppy moves!" Knuckles said as he dodged
Eri let out a scream as she threw her hands in the air
A bunch of rocks combined to form a massive boulder
"oh no!" Knuckles said
"DIE!" Eri yelled as she threw the massive boulder
Knuckles activated the flames of disaster and shattered the boulder
Eri snapped out of it and shut her eyes as she prepared to die
...For the last time...
pat pat
huh?
"Not bad young one that was impressive." Knuckles said
"THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE ERI." Omega said as he walked over
"What's going on?" Eri asked
"Omega told me while I was allowing him to take me into the forest that you had never displayed such abilities so he allowed me to train you." Knuckles said, "Now try using your abilities."
Eri focused and lifted the nearby boulders
"Excellent work." Knuckles said, "I will train you."
"Oh...Okay!" Eri said determined
She could be a hero!
"Where have you two been?" Stone asked
"TRAINING." Omega said
"I can move rocks with my mind." Eri said
"You can what?!" Shadow asked
"Where have you been young man?" Maddie asked
"I have accepted a new pupil!" Knuckles said
"Please tell me you are not going to go on another journey." Maddie said
"No, she is a hedgehog with special abilities." Knuckles said
That got Sonic's attention
"What?!" Sonic said "What is she like? Is she fast? Does she like chilli dogs? Please tell me it's not another shadow situation!"
"No, she seems about 6 years old." Knuckles said, "She has a gift for geokinesis."
"Geo what?" Sonic asked
"Geokinesis is the ability to move earth-based materials with your mind!" Tails explained
"Wait so she's an earthbender? From Avatar the last air bender? That's so cool!" Sonic said
(I might have to show her that for training) knuckles thought to himself
"By the way knuckles did you find unit's ai?" Tails asked
"Yes, they are in a new vessel called E-123 omega." Knuckles said
Tom had a moment of realization
"Wait a minute I heard that name before. Wade mentioned it when talking about Robotnik's assistant opening his cafe back up." Tom said, "I think he works there."
"so wait egghead's assistant/lover took Unit's brain and put it into a barista bot?" Sonic asked
"I think so." Tom said
"You are correct he brought me my grape donut." Knuckles said
"So he's harmless right?" Sonic asked
"Omega is a fearsome warrior." Knuckles said "But it is still unit at the end of the day."
"you two didn't fight right?" Tails asked
"We merely fake fought in order to fully awaken my pupil's full power! She threw a boulder the size of a small building at me!" Knuckles said "But she never smiled once during my training."
"You think she's evil?" Tails asked
"Not evil. scarred." Knuckles said,
"Like you after we watched Casper?" Sonic asked
"No. like she's been through true horrors." Knuckles said
That made everyone concerned
"Whatever happened to her must be the reason she is on earth." Knuckles said, "Which is why she has taken refuge in the goat milker's coffee shop.Though I haven't seen her there."
"Wait wait and you know this how?" Tom asked
"She brought me my donut." Knuckles said
"Why are you buying stuff from Stone's cafe anyway?" Tails asked
"I respect loyalty." Knuckles said, "Moving on if I train her properly we shouldn't have to worry about her being a threat."
"Well then let's hope so." Tom said
"So should we get omega's ai back?" Tails asked
"No Omega only works for the goat milker because he feels in debt to him for his new body." Knuckles said, "Once the debt is repaid omega will return to us."
"So we get a terminator on our side? Oh, that's awesome!" Sonic said
Later that night
When Eri fell asleep she had a weird dream
She was in this white void
"Hello there." A female voice said
She turned around and saw a woman who looked like an orange female knuckles
"You don't know me but I do have a message for you." The woman said "You must make a choice. The powers that you gained or the powers you were born with as well as your human form."
Eri could feel herself starting to wake up
"I'll leave that up to you." The woman said before fading away
then Eri woke up
And her horn felt...Smaller for some reason
Questions questions questions
That's it for now
