The echidna braced the sudden wind and brushed off the dust. He looked over his shoulder and snickered. "What, you mean you haven't figured that out already?" He locked eyes with the dragon once more, lowering his voice. "Look, it's getting late and I came for the emerald, and I'm willing to fight if it comes down to that," He looked at the ground. "Jissoyouknow, I didn't wake up to impress you. I really don't care what you think of me,"

Eclipse thinks of something she leaves and comes back with a box of cookies. "Here for listening to me that and both me and metal love baking so yeah expect random goodies occasionaly." She smiles happily glad to get all that stuff off of her chest.

She was getting really ticked of by this time around. She snorted an angry blast of steam from her nostrils and rose higher balancing the emerald on a claw then tossed it to Knuckles. "There, have your emerald. It's not like I care." she hovered beating her wings the gems studded on her seemed to bend the sunlight making her shadow even larger. "But how can you get of this island?" she looked smug as she rose a bit higher, like an inch. "If all possible transportation has...left?"

Tails looked at her. "Thanks again," he said, smiling, one ear tilted slightly."I'll see you soon,"

Knuckles caught it with a quick movement and returned the look. "All, you say? Well, I have four solutions for that, First I could say here for the night....." He let the words hang in the air for a moment, he wanted to see how the dragoness' reaction.

"You won't let me do that. Second I could ride you back or tail, which is probably a bad idea on my end 'cause you despise me, Third is swimming, but that's time and energy consuming, I wouldn't last too long doing that. And the fourth I'd rather not tell you because you can fly. And if you have no more questions.....?!"

Yellow light. The echidna directed a thought at the emerald. Oh, not here, not now! NOW IS NOT THE TIME! The chaos emerald didn't seem to care.

Eclipse nods "Yeah you will see me soon Proabaly stumble upon me but yeah see you soon." Eclipse leaves to find Chaos. "Oh don't forget to close the door TD forgot once and I had to chase out a bunch of rabbits."

"Will do," Tails said and left.

Shell stared at the echidna blankly. "If you stay here that dude with a ugly red mustache might send more robots or something." she pointed out to change the subject a bit. "But I can't just leave you here. The M.E is unguarded right? .p. So it's urgent you get there or what?" she landed back onto the ground stretching a wing down to the ground like a ramp.

Knuckles didn't hear this, in fact, he spaced out right then and there.

Trust Her.
Trust Who?
Her.
Which 'her'?
I think you know.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do.
This is a bad time, you realize that, don't you?
What, the dragon?
She despises me right now.
Trust them both.


The echidna blinked back into reality. He looked at the dragoness who was on the ground now, wing outstretched towards him. he recognized that as an invitation and climbed aboard.

Eclipse wonders what to do right now...oh she knows! Eclipse uses the internet and orders the one things she loves the most pets! she needs to get money somehow and well she always wanted a pet shop. She also buys things to build she has all that stuff to be sent out to a island she has a portal to......my god spending time with her family has made her more social and well to her pets!
