Knuckles sat like he usually did .. bored as ever . the emerald had been emiting strange pulses of power lately and he just ignored it ... well... untill to very strange creatures all of a sudden popped out, a purple echidna armed to the teeth and a dragonwolf who was also the same . " damn rain we have got to stop doing this. " the echidna popped her back.

"Oh god, i know. " The dragonwolf said as she cracked her neck. "WHO-WHAT-HUH-WHO THE HECK ARE YOU AND WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" knuckles Quickly jumped up and yelled at the attention turned quickly to the red .

" well, for your information, i am kyklamae member of Giglamech clan and she is my friend thunder. you'd think youd know your own species when you see them."

knuckles, still shocked , took a defensive stance, and said " if it's the master emerald you want you'll have to go through me! " the echidna scoffed and replied

" we're not after your pathetic emerald, but if you want a fight-"

"kyklamae, we came here for help. Not for a fight. Not now." thunder said after stopping kyklamae. She turned to the echidna.

"but!...,. i could totally beat him..." she made a whiny face and stared at thunder as knuckles calmed down a bit

Thunder sighed. "Fine, i guess. but dont kill each other."

" YES" she said this and turned to face the red who was smirking. she took position and raced to the red and punched him in the face before he could even think. before he knew it he was unconsious on the ground. kyklame straightened herself. " if this guy is so weak how are the others supposed to help?"

Thunder facepalmed, and said "Well... at least you didnt kill him. Here, help me sit him up." Completely ignoring her friend's statement.

She sighed and rolled her eyes and grabbed his arm and helped him sit upright.

Kyklamae rolled her eyes again and sat paitently " i hope... " she nudged him with her camo boot and waited untill he stirred and held his head.

" nn... ha...what?"

"she knocked you out." thunder stated. "oh, I didn't introduce myself did I? I'm thunder. Nice to meet you."

Knuckles uttered a brief recondnition " uh-uh... im... knuckles " .

kyklamae stood herself up and stated " im kyklamae ! but everone calls me kylee. " she reached down and pulled him up by his arm. " come now and tell us where this supposed amazing sonic the hedgehog is."

knuckles looked at her confused " why should i... you knocked me out! "

kylee crossed her arms . " first of all i asked nicely and second of all, you asked for it! "

Thunder chuckled and said "Girls, girls, you're both pretty! Now, we need help, can you lead us to the 'amazing' sonic the hedgehog?"

" why? " he said getting protective . " state your business" . " weve come to meet your leader aka NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS" she replied. " come on thunder we can find him ourselves" "I knew this would happen." thunder sighed, and started to walk away.

" you'll never find him " he stated. Kylee scoffed and closed her eyes for a moment and pointed directly towards emerald green zone. " there. lets go." she walked in that direction. knuckles stood, agape.

"W-wait! How did you?" knuckles studdered. Thunder tapped her forehead. "psychic powers." she stated.

" w-well i-i ... " knuckles sputtered for a second before sighing and saying " ok fine. I'll take yo too him cause I highly doubt he'll appreciate two random chicks showing up " kylee turned around " good boy"

Thunder chuckled. "Good boy? He's suddenly your pet?" she joked with kylee.

" Pfft might as well be because I'll beat him if he doesn't behave. " knuckles scoffed and walked ahead of them towards the emerald . " the only way off is if you fly or teleport, and since one of us cant were gonna have to make due"

"Well crap, ok I guess." thunder shrugged and followed.

Kylee literally ran and jumped into the emerald and disappeared in flash of light. Knuckles walked over slowly and said to thunder "is there ... um... others like me and her where you come from?"

"Yes, there is. Why do you ask? Don't you have echidnas here?" thunder answered with a question.

knuckles shook his head and put his hands on the emerald. "No. I'm the last "he said sadly before teleporting to the ground of mystic ruins

"I'm so sorry! I didn't know!" thunder was quick to apologize.

"It's not your fault" he said once on the ground. "Where is she?" he looked around

"Heck if I know. She can be unpredictable like that." thunder replied.

"she might have went ahead... can you detect her or is it just her who can do that?" he walked in a complete circle around her looking

"Nah, it's just her. I can only read minds and levitate things." thunder sighed.

"Well... let's go"
